Only after the footsteps faded into the distance did Lin Yang, who was pressed against the door, dare to relax slightly.
She took a deep breath and began to quietly remove her skirt.
Just as she was about to unhook the three-row hooks of her wireless bra, a voice suddenly came from behind the bathroom door, "Yangyang, do you need a scrub?"
"Damn!" Lin Yang was so startled that his hand trembled, and he cursed under his breath.
"Yangyang, I forgot to add something today. Besides farming and planting, I can also give body scrubs. Want to know about body scrubbing?" Xu Chengzhi thought Lin Yang hadn't heard him, so he knocked on the door three more times.
"..." Lin Yang picked up the skirt again and remained silent.
"Yangyang?" Xu Chengzhi asked tentatively again.
"Get out!" Lin Yang hugged her skirt tightly, blocking the doorway and shooing him away.
Xu Chengzhi's hand slowly reached for the bathroom doorknob, coaxing her gently, "Yangyang, is your back feeling better?"
"What do you think?" Lin Yang's waist was against the doorknob inside the toilet, and she felt it moving down and pressing against her hip bone.
"I think you should feel better after two days. You can start exercising a bit more now?" Xu Chengzhi pressed the doorknob halfway down, then stopped.
"Hehe, didn't you say last time that I wasn't in good health and needed to exercise?" Lin Yang blocked the doorknob that was about to go down with her left hand, and started putting on her clothes with her other hand.
"Yeah, isn't this helping you get some exercise?" Xu Chengzhi let go, afraid that he might hurt Lin Yang's hand that was blocking the way inside.
"Speak like a human!" Lin Yang said, halfway through putting on her clothes.
"I wanted it again!" Xu Chengzhi said defiantly, as if he had forgotten how he had tormented her all night just two days ago.
Her back still aches slightly to this day.
“I think…” Lin Yang paused, and the rustling stopped.
The bathroom door opened from the inside the next second, and Lin Yang straightened her skirt. "You need to take a cold shower to calm down."
She glanced at that spot; it was noticeably swollen.
Without looking back, she walked to the entrance, picked up her coat from the hanger, put it on, and left the room.
Xu Chengzhi, who was suffering from severe swelling, was left leaning against the wall by the toilet door, giving a cold, sidelong glance to the camera with its red light flashing high in the corner.
The camera was connected to the internet, and the production crew behind the laptops couldn't help but shudder under that gaze.
"Director Yuan, is this segment still going to air?" the editor asked timidly.
"Nonsense, of course we won't broadcast it, hurry up and cut it!" He was cowardly, and Director Yuan was even more cowardly under that look.
That casual glance seemed to pierce a hole in him through the screen.
In the end, they had no choice but to reluctantly cut out this ratings-boosting segment.
After all, this Mr. Xu is an investor in "Love Life".
We can't afford to mess with them!
Strangely enough, he got into trouble because of drinking that time, and Chu Yu tricked him. He ended up signing a contract with Chu Yu and Lu Xiangxi without really understanding what was going on, which turned the original four couples into five.
When Mr. Xu heard about this, he didn't blame him. He just gave a faint "oh" on the phone and tacitly approved.
Isn't it said that Xu Chengzhi and Chu Yu have a complicated relationship, or even are at odds?
Why didn't they scold me but instead tacitly approved? It's so strange, really strange.
Is Mr. Xu also afraid that either party to the contract might renege on the agreement and he would have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract?
As Director Yuan pondered, his imagination ran wilder and wilder.
"Director Yuan, this..." The staff member in front of the other laptop exclaimed in surprise at what he saw.
It caught the attention of the engrossed Director Yuan.
