Chapter 47 The Drama Queen in the Romance Variety Show 20: Coffee
At night, Yun Chiyi took a shower and lay barefoot on the bed reading a book.
Tang Yu, who was still drying her hair, walked closer and saw that she was still reading the book she had read that afternoon, and had already flipped through more than half of it.
Tang Yu stood there stunned for a while, then walked over as if possessed, and found Yun Chiyi drowsy, but forcing herself to stay awake and read the contents of the book.
In this scene, Tang Yu slowly recalled her college days, when everyone else in the dormitory was asleep, but she was the only one sitting by the dim light, feeling sleepy but unwilling to put down her book.
Tang Yu sat on the edge of Yun Chiyi's bed, revealing her pearly white teeth as she turned back: "Sister Tang Yu, let's go to sleep after you've dried your hair."
As she spoke, she sat up straight and straightened her sore back: "I feel this is much better than the script. I couldn't memorize any of those literary lines. At first, I couldn't understand the book at all, but then I found out that you write annotations at the end of each page, which are super useful."
Her eyes widened suddenly, then narrowed back to slits. Tang Yu lowered her head and smiled, then looked up with a broad smile: "I didn't expect you to like it so much."
The initial intention was to create a certain persona, but it was indeed interesting.
Tang Yu patted her head: "Go to sleep early, I'm going to blow-dry my hair."
Yun Chiyi nodded obediently and continued reading her book.
After the hairdryer stopped running in the bathroom, Tang Yu cleaned up the water on the floor and came out. When she came out, Yun Chiyi was already asleep, hugging her pillow, with the thick book under her.
Tang Yu's expression softened, and she quietly pulled the book out.
Many people say this book is boring and pretentious. She didn't know anyone else who liked it, but now she does.
The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and Yun Chiyi groggily opened her eyes, then went back to sleep.
Tonight, many people's favorability ratings have changed, with the biggest changes seen in Tang Yu and Lu Yi'ang.
She didn't understand why Lu Yi'ang was so happy so late at night; perhaps he was too immersed in the role.
Lin Qiao, on the other hand, remained quiet, as still as a stone.
The moon was bright and the stars were few; in the blink of an eye, the sky gradually turned white.
Early in the morning, Shen Zhouzhou rushed over and knocked on their door.
Yun Chiyi rubbed her eyes and opened the door, a hint of impatience in her eyes: "It's not even six o'clock yet, is something urgent?"
Shen Zhouzhou scoffed, "It's that Lu Yi'ang again. I'm getting up to use the restroom and also to get some water from the living room."
Yun Chiyi asked lazily, "And then?"
Shen Zhouzhou still felt a chill when she thought about it: "That kid sat on the sofa without turning on the light, holding a tattered cloth bag in his hand. When he heard me go downstairs, he stared straight at me with his eyes shining, which startled me."
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, then found it hilarious: "He probably waited for you to go downstairs to buy groceries, that's why he made me come up here to wake you up."
Yun Chiyi's steps were heavy. She wanted to go back to sleep, but Shen Zhouzhou grabbed her collar again.
"I want to eat fresh vegetables with dew on them, but not carrots, thank you."
After several fruitless struggles, Yun Chiyi was quickly tidied up by Shen Zhouzhou and handed over to Lu Yi'ang. Sure enough, he sat eerily in the shadows, like a motionless statue.
It was already broad daylight, and Yun Chiyi was awake.
She walked with much lighter steps, empty-handed, toward the door: "Let's go, let's go buy groceries."
Lu Yi'ang wore a blue shirt with beige shorts, and carried a mint green shopping bag, exuding a casual yet subtly thoughtful style.
He quickly ran up behind Yun Chiyi. Her cold seemed to be almost gone, and she walked with a swagger, as if she didn't care about anything.
Lu Yi'ang asked her, "Did you bring any money?"
Yun Chiyi continued walking, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun: "No."
Lu Yi'ang suddenly said smugly, "I brought it."
Yun Chiyi suppressed her laughter, her eyebrows twitching involuntarily: "Wow, you're so smart, you even know to bring money when you go out to buy things."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi'ang's neck turned red, and he retorted loudly, "I'm well-prepared for everything, unlike you who came out empty-handed. What kind of talk is that? Did you come out for a walk? You'll be carrying the groceries later!"
Yun Chiyi answered clearly, word by word: "I...don't...want!"
She took a breath of the still relatively crisp air and muttered, "Who would get out of bed so early!"
It's still early, but some people are already up.
His tall figure disappeared among the grass and trees. Lin Qiao and Shui Mianqian went for a walk and bumped into Yun Chiyi and Lu Yi'ang playing around. His eyes darkened and the ink spread in his eyes.
He cut in from the side path, interrupting their conversation.
Yun Chiyi lazily opened her clear eyes.
Lin Qiaoyu said, "Buying groceries? I'll go too."
Yun Chiyi looked him up and down, then pushed him aside, though she didn't actually move him.
Lin Qiao's aura hardened: "Can't I take you with me?"
Yun Chiyi said, "You have a bad memory. That time you carried me back, I promised you I wouldn't choose you next time, and I want to keep my promise."
Oh, right, there's one more thing. At the time, Lin Qiaoyu thought she was too noisy, so he happily agreed.
She has forgotten now, but she remembers it clearly.
She puffed out her chest, displaying a completely honest and naive demeanor.
She smiled at Lu Yi'ang and said, "Let's go."
Yun Chiyi treats the romance variety show like an amusement park and has a great time there.
It's not hard to see that she gets close to someone for a while, then gets bored and moves on to someone else.
Lin Qiaoyu slightly raised her chin, watching Yun Chiyi's departing figure.
Thinking of the scene a few days ago when she pressed her lips to his ear, Lin Qiao's lips twitched slightly. What's wrong? Has she gotten tired of him and abandoned him?
At this moment, Yun Chiyi was unaware that Lin Qiao had imagined a melodramatic scene. She had walked around the market and was too tired to walk anymore. She tightly gripped a piece of coconut rice cake in her hand and took a vicious bite.
I was so busy that I finally got to eat breakfast, and I was too tired to talk.
Lu Yi'ang, on the other hand, was quite different. He went around the market in high spirits, comparing the freshest lettuce, looking for the fattest grouper, and only buying the sand ginger from the old man.
He's the one who's being dramatic, he's just bored and has nothing better to do.
Yun Chiyi leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes for a while. Lu Yi'ang walked over and gave her a round coconut.
She blinked: "What are you doing? I can't lift it."
She sniffed, her nose tip red: "Look at me, I'm so weak and can't take care of myself, how can I help you carry things?"
Lu Yi'ang's forehead was covered in sweat, and he said through gritted teeth, "This is for you to drink."
Yun Chiyi put on a smile, leaned over, and took a sip.
The refreshing liquid slid through her mouth, making her feel much more refreshed. She gave a heartfelt thumbs up: "Otherwise, out of so many people, why would I choose you to buy groceries? You're a grocery shopping expert, you have a discerning eye!"
Lu Yi'ang snorted: "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
She didn't want to move from her seat, so the two rested for a few minutes before continuing.
The photographer had been following Lu Yi'ang the whole time and finally had a chance to rest. Filming him was exhausting; he had boundless energy. He should participate in some kind of physical fitness competition.
Passersby buying groceries were used to the filming, but they glanced at the two of them because of their exquisite and outstanding features; even without makeup, they shone like jewels in a crowd.
Yun Chiyi vaguely heard the vendors saying things like she and Lu Yi'ang were a good match. He was a perfect match for the big tomato in his hand, both equally flamboyant.
She glanced at the person next to her who was grinning from ear to ear, and for no reason found it amusing too.
Also, he's just like a puppy; he laughs as soon as you tease him.
Lu Yi'ang suddenly turned his head and met Yun Chiyi's up-and-down gaze. He was slightly angry: "Why are you peeking at me? Do you think I'm handsome?"
Yun Chiyi slowly shook her head. See? See? She's still a little dog that gets all pricked up.
She got up and haphazardly patted Lu Yi'ang's head.
Lu Yi'ang instantly exploded: "What are you doing!"
Yun Chiyi stroked her chin: "The way you were just now reminded me of my little cousin, who is only seven years old."
Her gaze was earnest, and she wasn't joking. Lu Yi'ang suddenly turned cold, carrying vegetables in both hands and a coconut tucked under his arm as he walked with a brisk pace.
Yun Chiyi suppressed a laugh, her stomach was trembling. They didn't even leave her a coconut!
The two returned to the villa one after the other. Yun Chiyi walked slowly with her hands empty, and everyone cast their gazes at her the moment she stepped through the door.
Yun Chiyi touched her face with her fair hand: "Did I get a tan?"
Shen Zhouzhou was drinking coffee early in the morning. He came over and put his arm around her shoulder: "Lu Yi'ang came back so angry that his face turned red and he almost cried. Did you bully him?"
Yun Chiyi was taken aback.
His gaze slowly drifted to Lu Yi'ang, who was tidying up the refrigerator with his back to him.
He just stuffed things in without any gentleness, showing no signs of wanting to cry.
Shen Zhouzhou asked mysteriously, "Tell me about it."
Yun Chiyi's voice was gentle: "I think he was probably angry about what the uncles and aunties at the stalls said, so he didn't want to talk to me the whole way."
She raised her hand to press down on the corner of her mouth, afraid of laughing out loud: "They say we are a match made in heaven, destined for each other."
Lu Yi'ang immediately turned his head: "Yun Chiyi!"
Yun Chiyi's brow twitched, a gesture that was highly provocative.
This tense scene was broken by Lin Qiao, who pulled Yun Chiyi aside and dragged her into the sofa.
"Looks like your cold is all better, you're as lively as ever."
Yun Chiyi's attitude softened, and she became serious: "I felt unwell for two days, but I feel much better now..."
Lin Qiao listened for half a minute, then got up and made herself a cup of coffee.
He ignored her again. Seeing his sullen face every day, Yun Chiyi turned her face away and stepped aside to let him go upstairs.
Lin Qiao deliberately slowed her pace; she really didn't call out to him.
He took a step and walked very quickly.
Yun Chiyi smiled silently at the tall figure, just as Tang Yu caught her in the act.
She feigned a coquettish tone and clung to Tang Yu's arm: "Sister, would you like some steamed corn cake? I'll make it for you."
Tang Yu chuckled, "Let me do it."
Shen Zhouzhou also joined in the fun, hugging Tang Yu's waist and saying, "I want one too, I want one too."
In the corner, Yu Kexin watched the group of people huddled together. The more they laughed and joked, the more she disapproved.
Why is everyone surrounding Yun Chiyi? She wants to see what good things Yun Chiyi has.
She's pretentious, lazy, has terrible acting skills, and isn't popular at all. What good qualities does she have?
She's just pretty; who knows, she might have secretly had plastic surgery.
Yu Kexin stared intently at Yun Chiyi, trying to bore a hole through her. From her eyebrows to her chin, her delicate yet alluring eyes were slightly upturned, her eyelashes were long and straight, her nose bridge was perfectly proportioned, and there was not a single flaw in the triangular area of her face. Her nose was small and inward-curving, not at all ostentatious, and her lips were upturned at both ends, with a small lip bead gathered in the middle.
She must have taken leave in a hurry to get it repaired.
Yun Chiyi, holding a coconut and biting on the straw, slowly turned her head: "Why are you staring at me? Do you think I'm pretty?"
Yu Kexin snorted, her disdain especially evident.
Yun Chiyi finished her coconut and casually placed it on the table. She took a few steps and sat down on the sofa, ignoring Yu Kexin's scrutiny.
Just as she was lost in thought, a plate of coconut meat was placed in front of her, but Lu Yi'ang didn't look at her.
"Why don't you eat the coconut meat inside? Here, I've peeled it for you."
Yun Chiyi tilted her head to look at him, her tone indifferent yet with a hint of joy: "Thank you."
On the second floor, Lin Qiaoyu peeked out with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Lu Yi'ang, is that right? He really knows how to fawn over people.
He took a sip of coffee, his brow furrowing slightly. The coffee was a bit bitter today; Gu Huai must have ground it.
The cup wasn't clean either; he vaguely remembered that Song Shiguang had washed the cup.
He casually placed the coffee cup on the cabinet in the corner.
The program he invested in this time was just so-so; the guests' work style didn't suit his taste.
