Chapter 676 Extra - Cooperate with Me in a Play
"How so?"
Chen Shi snorted: "He said he wanted to travel but didn't have the money, so he could freeload food, drinks, and fun by following me! Ugh, I'm so angry!"
Chen Ci laughed: "You believe what he said?"
"I don't believe it," Chen Shi pouted. "He clearly likes me but won't admit it!"
"So?" Chen Ci looked at her. "What do you want to do?"
Chen Shi smiled obsequiously: "I just want you to cooperate with me in acting, hehe."
"I'm not interested in acting..." Chen Ci refused without even thinking.
Chen Shi closed the treasured postcard album and hugged it tightly to her chest: "If you don't cooperate, I'll take this album with me! You should know that I was able to get these rare postcards only because I'm a travel blogger; otherwise, you couldn't buy them no matter how much money you offered!"
Seeing her resolute attitude, Chen Ci could only ask, "Tell me about the play first?"
"Everyone knows I like you..."
“Once upon a time,” Chen Ci corrected her, “Say it clearly.”
"Alright, alright, alright, once upon a time!" Chen Shi corrected, "Anyway, everyone knows I used to like you, so I need you to pretend to agree to be with me. I want to see if Chen Tang gets jealous!"
Chen Ci paused for a moment, then solemnly reminded her: "Relationships are the last thing you should test."
Chen Shi blinked: "It's okay, we can just make do, it's not like I can't."
Chen Ci: "..."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "I believe Chen Tang..."
“But I don’t quite trust you,” Chen Ci said.
Chen Shi's eyes darted around: "So you don't want this rare postcard set anymore?"
Chen Ci: "..."
Chen Shi looked at him expectantly: "Aci, please help me this once. If Chen Tang still doesn't react, then I won't like him anymore!"
Seeing that she was truly pleading, Chen Ci couldn't bear it and nodded, "Alright, just this once!"
Chen Shi nodded: "Mhm."
She handed the postcard to Chen Ci, and as Chen Ci looked down and flipped through it, she took a picture and posted it in the group chat.
I won this man's heart with a book of postcards, friends, I'm in love!
This sentence triggered an outburst from everyone in the group.
Chen Song was the first to reply: 【Are you crazy or is Chen Ci crazy? One of you must be! @ChenCi, give me an explanation! Don't force me to go to your hospital and cause trouble!】
Chen Chu: [Hmm? Oh! Ah Shi is still as playful as ever.]
Ye Qingning: [@Ashi, come to Tianfu Courtyard for dinner tomorrow. Aunt Qin has been talking about you. She knows you're back and will be out preparing meals early tomorrow morning. Contact her if you want anything to eat.]
In short: [I want to go mooch a meal too! I want to eat crayfish!]
Xiao Miao: [Get a free meal +1, I want spicy fish.]
Lin Feiyan: [Come on over tomorrow, everyone! It'll be a get-together. Qingqing's garden's finished; let's celebrate.]
Chen Shi stared at the screen for a long time, but still didn't see any messages from Chen Tang. Moreover, the chat content was shifting uncontrollably towards tomorrow's dinner party.
Some were ordering food, others were discussing what wine to buy; in short, no one paid attention to her newly posted relationship announcement.
As Chen Shi refreshed the page, she huffed angrily, "Isn't the news that I'm dating you explosive enough? Why aren't they reacting at all!"
Chen Ci smiled at her: "No one will believe it."
Chen Shi: "..."
She let out a long sigh: "I don't care, I want extra ingredients!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to Chen Ci's side, squatted down close to him, and took a selfie with her phone.
She chose a tricky angle; in the photo, it looks like she's kissing Chen Ci's face, but in reality, they're not even touching.
She then posted the photos in the group chat: "[Okay, Qingning, I'll be taking my boyfriend to Tianfu Villa tomorrow! I'll order him a taro bubble tea beforehand!]"
This time, the group finally started to get a bit chaotic.
