Chapter 38 The Little Drama Queen in the Romance Variety Show 11: Red Scarf
Yun Chiyi was surrounded by many people. Sometimes she was smiling and cheerful, and sometimes she pursed her lips in distress, her gaze wandering blankly across the faces of the people around her.
A feeling of unease crept into Song Shiguang's heart, and he approached Yun Chiyi with his wine glass in hand.
According to the rules, we should invite her now.
Yun Chiyi noticed him, and a trace of indescribable emotion flashed in her starry eyes.
Her gaze bypassed Lin Qiaoyu, who was directly in front of her. Although the two did not speak, Lin Qiaoyu noticed the change in her gaze almost simultaneously.
He lowered his head and took a sip of champagne, waiting for Song Shiguang to pass by him. Sure enough, Song Shiguang brought over a glass of juice and handed it to Yun Chiyi.
Lin Qiaoyu was still sitting in the same spot. The guests had circled Yun Chiyi there, and he was on the outside, watching her casually exude a sense of ease and composure.
Because he couldn't see her eyes clearly, he only looked at the subtle movements of her lips.
She was unhappy, and the corner of her mouth turned slightly to the left.
As she spaced out, her lips parted slightly, revealing her perfectly white teeth.
After forcing a smile, you'll unconsciously let out a small breath, which actually reveals a bit of impatience.
Yun Chiyi was not the naive person she seemed; she had her own shrewdness. Lin Qiao saw Song Shiguang strike up a conversation with her, while he slowly poured himself a full glass of wine.
Song Shiguang clinked glasses with her: "According to the rules of the show, it should be my turn to invite you to dance."
Yun Chi smiled and asked, "Would you like to dance with me?"
Song Shiguang didn't expect her to ask so directly. While pondering her words, she heard her speak.
"Brother Song, the production team hasn't specified any punishment for completing the task. Maybe there won't be any. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Lu Yi'ang and Gu Huai, who were standing nearby, both looked at Song Shiguang. Everyone knew that he and Tang Yu seemed to be in love at the moment, and that Yun Chiyi sometimes liked to deliberately get close to him. Was she saying this now because she was afraid of being rejected and was trying to save face?
Before Song Shiguang could speak, Yun Chiyi suddenly raised her lips and smiled without a trace of ulterior motive: "I don't want to make things difficult for you."
She didn't drink the juice he brought her; instead, she turned and placed it on the table.
Unlike the previous days, Yun Chiyi seemed to be testing the waters. Song Shiguang's eyes showed a clearer understanding. He could tell that Yun Chiyi's words, on the surface, were pushing him away, but in reality, she still wanted to get closer.
Song Shiguang flipped his wrist and presented his palm.
Yun Chiyi brushed past him, her fingers touching his, and whispered, "Brother Song, I'm very ticklish. If you touch me later, I might burst out laughing."
Song Shiguang also noticed that she and her first two dance partners were only superficially touching each other while dancing.
The music changed rhythm, and as Yun Chiyi took a step, her snow-white skirt fluttered.
Her delicate lips slowly curved into a smile, and she spoke softly, as if whispering, "Brother Song, I feel that your temperament is a bit different. What is your profession?"
The show did not reveal the participants' professions in order to cover up the other guests who had connections.
Song Shiguang had no such concerns and replied, "Doctor."
Yun Chiyi chuckled: "That's amazing."
Song Shiguang sensed that she had reverted to the same emotions she had on their first night together, and he was a little unsure about her feelings.
"Can I ask you something?"
Yun Chiyi said, "Everyone wants to ask me questions. Do I seem like the kind of person who has a lot of secrets, or what?"
She interrupted his question, saying in return, "What is a doctor's ideal partner like? You can just tell me a few words."
Song Shiguang: "Quiet, learned, and elegant..."
His thoughts deepened, and a word surfaced in his mind.
Attachment.
His partner must depend on him unconditionally.
Yun Chiyi listened attentively, her laughter light: "So your ideal type is the one on the show?"
She didn't name Tang Yu, but both of them knew the truth.
Song Shiguang asked her the same question.
"I'm rather superficial, you know. I like good-looking people with good figures." After saying that, Yun Chiyi became much quieter.
She loved to laugh, and quietly twirled and danced under the crystal chandelier, her white dress transforming into a wide-winged butterfly with her movements.
The light gauze skirt brushed against Song Shiguang's trousers. From that moment on, when he glanced at her and saw her as a butterfly, Yun Chiyi's fleeting image instantly became concrete.
She was a butterfly, flitting proudly among the flowers, convinced that no one would catch her.
How could such a clumsy trick escape his eyes?
Song Shiguang looked up and examined her closely. Unfortunately, butterflies have short lifespans and their blooming time is very short, unless they are made into specimens to preserve their charm.
His eyes inexplicably turned dark.
[Song Shiguang's favorability has increased] The system's voice was filled with surprise.
Yun Chiyi certainly noticed the change in his favorability bar, which suddenly jumped from a sparse single digit to thirty-four. She had provoked him.
As the dance music drew to a close, Yun Chiyi suddenly pressed down on Song Shiguang's shoulder, gently pushing him away before releasing her lightly clenched hand.
She said willfully, "Brother Song, my legs are a little sore, I want to rest for a bit, you won't mind, will you?"
Song Shiguang's gaze froze, but he said very gentlemanly, "I'll take you."
"No need." Yun Chiyi lifted her skirt and lowered her body slightly, ending the dance.
When she left, she still held onto her skirt. Her silhouette was just as Song Shiguang had described in his mind, like a graceful butterfly that could disappear without a trace.
Song Shiguang remained on the dance floor, her feet motionless.
[Holy crap, he was stunned; a bizarre product had been created.]
[This couple is also pleasing to the eye, why don't they finish their dance?]
[Yun Chiyi abandoning her dance partner is so rude!]
[Yun Chiyi always acts so recklessly, she doesn't respect anyone else at all.]
It seems that Yun Chiyi's agent's hired online trolls haven't forgotten their original intentions.
Just before the music ended, Tang Yu, who was partnered with Gu Huai, walked past Song Shiguang. He turned around, smiled, and looked at her.
Tang Yu glanced at him, then quickly shifted her gaze to Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi and Shen Zhouzhou sat at a table, chatting and laughing without any worries. The half of her face under the veil was both devilish and youthful. When she smiled, she didn't make people feel warm, but rather damp.
"I don't want to jump anymore, I want to go back to sleep." Shen Zhouzhou was slightly drunk and leaned against the table.
She nudged Yun Chiyi's shoulder: "What are you laughing at? You're always so energetic."
Yun Chiyi brushed her hand away: "My map is taking shape, and the truly interesting game is about to begin."
Shen Zhouzhou yawned: "It's all nonsense, I don't understand."
Yun Chiyi clinked glasses with her: "What's it like dancing with Lin Qiao?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhouzhou immediately sobered up: "Don't look into his eyes. After the dance, my hands and feet were freezing cold. I thought someone had turned the air conditioning down."
Yun Chiyi covered her lips and laughed.
Pointing lightly in Lin Qiaoyu's direction, Shen Zhouzhou said, "Don't look down on me. Look at Yu Kexin, she's the same. After dancing with him, she immediately questioned her life. Tang Yu is alright, but she has an ice-cold face. She might not even show her fear on her face."
Yun Chiyi sipped her wine and nodded, seemingly understanding, "That's terrifying."
At the same time, Tang Yu arrived and joined their tea party.
Shen Zhouzhou's eyes were unfocused. Upon seeing her, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Tang Yu sat down next to Yun Chiyi and said solemnly, "I just thought about it, and I think I almost forgot my original intention. I put the cart before the horse and made myself unhappy. However, things should be left to their own devices. It's not good to force things. I shouldn't be so self-righteous."
"Another one I can't understand." Shen Zhouzhou simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Tang Yu said to herself, "Let me observe for a while longer."
Her gaze was firm, as intense as the summer heat outside the door.
Tang Yu was still stubborn; once she made up her mind about something, she couldn't easily convince herself otherwise, even if she spoke up herself.
Yun Chiyi said, "It's good that you've made a decision, sister. When you're unsure, just follow your intuition."
She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and got up to look for someone's shadow.
[Host, are you going to ignore the female lead? You should try to persuade her!]
Yun Chiyi blocked out the system's voice. She knew the original plot, so she knew Song Shiguang's true nature the moment they met. Tang Yu didn't have the ability to predict the future, and Song Shiguang had spent ten or twenty years perfecting his disguise; how could she easily see through his facade?
Only her instincts told her that she felt uncomfortable when she was in contact with Song Shiguang.
We still need to take our time to understand it.
Yun Chiyi smiled and walked straight up to Lin Qiaoyu.
Lin Qiaoyu raised her eyes: "What?"
Yun Chi laughed irritably: "How old are you? Why are you being so childish? Do I have any other business with you now?"
She took two steps closer with her hands behind her back: "In my etiquette class, girls generally don't need to take the initiative to invite men to dance."
Did Lin Qiao not understand her teasing? He didn't care about it at all. He just sat in the chair and reached out his hand to Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi gripped his fingers tightly.
He overheard her conversation with Song Shiguang again.
Her actions at this moment are completely contrary to what she meant. She said she was ticklish and didn't want to touch it, so she should continue to play along.
Yun Chiyi withdrew her hand under his deep gaze, then took off the red silk scarf around her neck, muttering to herself, "Several people just told me that seeing your eyes makes their legs weak. I'm afraid of stepping on your feet, so I'm going to cover your eyes."
Lin Qiao said coldly, "It's just child's play."
Yun Chiyi walked around behind him and whispered, "Your perception is flawed. If you look down on me, you might suffer the consequences."
She brushed his hair aside, removed his cumbersome glasses, and folded a silk scarf to cover his piercing eyes: "I was the one who was blindfolded last time, you can experience this feeling."
Lin Qiao touched the silk scarf over his eyes with his fingertips; it felt smooth. He couldn't see anything now.
Yun Chiyi's laughter was evident: "How about it, do you want me to help you up, Lin Qiao and—brother?"
Her voice rose at the end, and she saw Lin Qiao turn his head in response to the sound. She couldn't see his eyes, but she could imagine they were as cold as frost.
A warm hand slid into his palm, guiding him. He stood up and heard Yun Chiyi's voice.
"Be careful, this way."
"What is this doing?!" the system screamed.
[What are they doing!]
[I'm sorry, I've stopped cursing Yun Chiyi. I want to become her apprentice and learn martial arts.]
[Being blindfolded is so incredibly sexy!!! I'm taking tons of screenshots!!!]
[Wow, I'm totally hooked! I can't calm down at all! I've betrayed the organization!]
