"Have I explained it clearly enough?" The mechanical voice faded away, and Xu Chengzhi's voice gradually became clearer in my ears.
Without any transition, Lin Yang went directly from darkness back to the incandescent light of the corridor.
The light shining down from above was a bit too bright, so she squinted slightly and raised the back of her hand to block her view.
After a moment of confusion, she finally came to her senses. "Huh? What did you just say?"
"..." Xu Chengzhi remained silent in the face of Lin Yang's complete lack of sincerity, and the slight pity he had felt completely vanished.
He, who was usually taciturn, spoke so much for the first time to explain what happened that night. It seemed that the woman hadn't listened to a single word.
"I was feeling a little dizzy just now, so I didn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat it again? Oh dear, I'm really dizzy." Lin Yang dramatically rubbed her forehead and rolled her eyes upwards as if she were fainting.
It's all the system's fault; it suddenly pulled her into another space.
This system is really something; it doesn't even have a time-stopping function.
She missed Xu Chengzhi's words. Judging from his expression, she felt that she probably... missed something very important.
"It's nothing. It's late, Miss Lin, please go back." Xu Chengzhi lost interest in talking to Lin Yang and placed his hand on the doorknob.
"No...no, how about we chat for another five cents?" Lin Yang quickly reached out to stop the door from closing.
"Take it away." Xu Chengzhi's eyes darkened, his tone slightly cold, but he stopped in time, preventing the door from hitting Lin Yang's slender fingers due to inertia.
Lin Yang noticed Xu Chengzhi's subtle movements and boldly tried to figure out his thoughts, her eyes darting around.
"Thump—" The sound of knees hitting the ground was crisp and clear.
The hand that had been prying at the door had already let go, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly hugged Xu Chengzhi's leg.
"Please, please help me. If you don't help me, your fans will drown me in their spittle. Also, my company said that if this matter isn't resolved perfectly, they'll freeze my career. Waaah..." Lin Yang cried pitifully, a skill she had honed through years of acting.
Xu Chengzhi leaned down, getting close to Lin Yang, and his breath inadvertently sprayed onto her face.
This sudden action made Lin Yang's cheeks flush, and she didn't dare to look ahead.
"Miss Lin, you didn't drink today, did you?" Xu Chengzhi sniffed, and after confirming that Lin Yang was not drunk, he straightened up and distanced himself from her.
"No... I didn't drink anything, what's wrong?" Lin Yang pulled out one hand and quickly covered her unnaturally red cheeks.
Even though he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, he inexplicably started slurring his words.
"Then why is Miss Lin talking nonsense again?" Xu Chengzhi smiled inexplicably. "I don't have the nerve to influence Miss Lin's future by helping or not helping her."
The Thirty-Six Stratagems: Will the self-inflicted injury ruse fail to fool this man a second time?
Okay, then I'll try another approach.
Lin Yang held back her tears, released her grip on his leg, dusted herself off, and got up from the ground. "Xu Chengzhi, if this matter isn't resolved smoothly, our film crew will be indefinitely suspended. Do you want that?"
"Since you're the source of all this trouble, why not just replace you?" Xu Chengzhi smiled innocently, but secretly began to exert force on his hands.
Before Lin Yang could finish speaking, Xu Chengzhi seized the opportunity to quickly close the door.
Lin Yang's grumbling was completely blocked outside the door. The hotel had good soundproofing, and Xu Chengzhi lay back on the bed, not hearing a single word.
Exhausted from yelling, Lin Yang naturally went back to her room listlessly.
Is she destined to suffer the torment of this scumbag for eternity, unable to even complete her first task?
No, absolutely not!
If this road is blocked, then let's try another one!
Lin Yang tossed and turned in bed, his mind preoccupied with planning his short-lived mission.
