She stopped being mysterious and said directly, "The restaurant where the wrap party is being held is also where another film crew is holding their wrap party."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course there's a connection, because the director of that drama is Ding Zhou. Sister Min specifically mentioned that to me before, so there's a very high chance I'll run into him tonight."
Luo Shimiao smiled and said, "That scoundrel, I should thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met Gu Nian. I'll definitely thank him properly tonight."
Lin Mai shuddered; the tone of his voice sounded rather eerie.
"Sister Min told me to tell you that if you see him, you must hold back. There are a lot of people watching you right now, and they can't wait to find something to do to ruin you."
What if I couldn't resist?
"If you can't resist, Sister Min says she'll fill your schedule to the brim next year and exhaust you."
"I'll try my best." Luo Shimiao seemed to have already imagined those terrifying days: "I'll hang up like this for now."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shimiao rolled out of bed. The soreness in her groin made her gasp: "That shameless bastard!"
After washing up and eating a nutritious meal under Aunt Lin's "supervision," I took Xiao Lü home.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?" she asked, looking at the man sleeping on the recliner in the courtyard.
Luo Jianxing said sullenly, "I'm sunbathing, hoping to get a tan."
A person and a bird looked up at the sky, but the sky was covered with dark clouds; where was the sun?
Why did you get a tan?
"I'm Manman's backup assistant now, right? Today, when I went to work with Manman, I got some sarcastic remarks. People said I was a gigolo, so I wanted to get a tan."
Luo Shimiao walked over and looked down at him: "If I had an assistant like you, you wouldn't even qualify as a backup option."
He opened his eyes and kicked her shin: "I'm being bullied, and instead of helping me, you're resorting to personal attacks."
She took a step back to dodge the incoming kick, looked at that fair and handsome face, and said lightly, "Want to get darker? That's easy. Do you want to get darker temporarily, or for a long time?"
"Let me tell you first, my beloved doesn't like dark-skinned guys. She likes guys like you who look easy to seduce."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I choose to temporarily become dark-skinned and experience the feeling of having dark skin." Touching his cheek, he said with a beaming smile, "I've never been dark-skinned before, maybe I'll be even more handsome with dark skin."
Luo Shimiao turned around and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Come with me."
I took my third brother to my mother's art studio.
Luo Jianxing saw the neatly arranged paint and realized what was going on: "You don't mean to paint my face black, do you?"
"That's right, don't worry, the paint Mom used is the best, it won't irritate her skin."
"Isn't this...too dark?"
"Do you understand what contrast is?" Luo Shimiao tugged at his sleeve, pulled him to the chair, then moved her hand to his shoulder and pressed him down to sit.
"Try boldly and surpass yourself! Give your beloved a surprise; maybe she'll like your dark skin and love you even more."
"With your natural looks, you'd be incredibly handsome even in green, let alone black."
Luo Jianxing frowned as he looked at her, half-believing and half-doubting, "Really? You're not kidding me?" It feels like a trap.
"Why would I lie to you when you're my own brother? Besides, this paint can be washed off. If it doesn't look good, just remove it. What are you afraid of?"
"That's true, I'll trust you this once."
From an angle he couldn't see, Luo Shimiao revealed a triumphant smile.
She poured black paint into the palette, took out a clean brush, and then stood in front of Luo Jianxing with the palette in hand.
"Close your eyes."
Luo Jianxing looked at the thick black paint, his eyelashes fluttering: "Make sure you apply it properly."
"Don't question my drawing skills."
He hardened his heart and closed his eyes.
Luo Shimiao placed the clean brush into the paint tray, and in an instant, the black liquid stained the brush black.
Black pigment was spread evenly on the cheeks, covering up the fair and delicate skin.
In less than a few minutes, a face as black as the bottom of a pot appeared in sight.
His face was so dark that his features were almost impossible to see, and he was far from handsome.
"Pfft~"
Luo Shimiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The laughter startled Luo Jianxing, who abruptly opened his eyes.
The stark contrast between the whites of his eyes and his dark skin made him look even more comical.
He immediately took out his phone, opened the camera, saw the face on the screen, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Luo! Shi! Miao!"
"I think it's pretty good, it has the aura of Zhang Fei. If you went to see the person who was trying to harm you with this face, he would definitely be intimidated by your powerful aura."
"Little Green, don't you think so?" She looked at the parrot on the flower stand with a forced smile.
Little Green nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Luo Jianxing stood up angrily, hands on his hips, and said, "Do you think I'll still believe you? Take it off right now!"
Her eyes darted around, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "You tricked me, so you have to apply it too. If you don't, the money in your card might grow wings and fly away."
Luo Shimiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"So what if I am?" he said defiantly.
"Okay, I'll apply it!" For the sake of the banknotes' safety, she chose to compromise.
And so the two switched places.
Luo Jianxing held the paint palette and "painted," not only blackening his face but also using white paint to draw three cat whiskers on each cheek.
"Wow, not bad, quite cute." He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Just then, Ye Shujun walked in and stared blankly at the two dark faces for a full half minute.
"Miaomiao? A Luo?"
The two looked at each other and then nodded in unison.
Luo Jianxing put the paint palette back on the table and said carefully, "Mom, we only used a little bit, you don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind, I'm afraid you'll mind."
The brother and sister asked in unison, "Why?"
