Chapter 51
Mu Yuan didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he said these words, because he had never been so frank with anyone.
After saying it, he regretted it.
Because only the ‘weak’ will show weakness to the ‘strong’ to seek protection.
He didn't want to wait for Gu Qi's answer and wanted to say something to change the subject, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, a hand gently fell on the back of his head.
Gu Qi rubbed his head.
She smiled at him, "Okay, Elder Sister will remember."
＊
Mu Yuan sat on the sofa in the living room. On the coffee table in front of him were the snacks that Gu Qi brought him. Although he didn't like them, he still opened a candy that he recalled Elder Sister liked very much.
Looking at the half-closed door of the kitchen and hearing the movement of pots and pans inside that were accompanied by Gu Qi asking him if he wanted to eat onions and coriander, there was a plain sense of happiness.
Soon, Gu Qi brought out a bowl of noodles. Obviously, they were a little sticky because they were cooked for a long time. There was a fried egg on the top that didn't look very good.
Gu Qi was obviously a little embarrassed. She felt that in such a warm moment, she should cook something herself instead of ordering takeout.
With such a result, it was better not to cook it.
So Gu Qi put down the bowl, went to find the phone again: "Forget it. What do you want to eat? Better order takeout."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles in the bowl.
It didn't have any taste. Maybe Elder Sister forgot to add salt.
Because it didn't have any taste, it wasn't bad.
Gu Qi looked at Mu Yuan with some surprise and asked: "Is it edible?"
Mu Yuan replied: "My parents are occasionally not at home, so I would cook some food myself since I was little."
Gu Qi was even more surprised: "You can actually cook?"
Mu Yuan nodded, but added: "Yes, but I'm not good at it."
In fact, he learned it and he had been studying recently.
Every step of cooking was like an experiment. He only needed to strictly control the amount and the time and heat of each food in the pot. Even the number of times he flipped the spatula would strictly be the same as the bloggers. So he didn't think it was difficult.
Still, Mu Yuan felt a little conflicted. His knife skills were very average.
This kind of thing wasn't something that was accomplished by wanting to cut it into thin slices. Expectation and end result were completely different.
So Mu Yuan planned to practice his knife skills again and find an opportunity to show it to Gu Qi.
Mu Yuan hadn't finished eating noodles when he suddenly noticed the door of the room being pushed open from the inside.
Then-
A Samoyed came out with its tail wagging.
Mu Yuan stared at the Samoyed with wide eyes.
He couldn't understand why there was an extra dog here during the few days not coming to Elder Sister's house.
Because of the appearance of a stranger at home, the Samoyed didn't know whether to move forward for a moment.
Mu Yuan put down his chopsticks and rubbed his eyes. He looked over again and the doorway where Samoyed had been standing was now empty.
Mu Yuan began to doubt himself.
Could it be that the recent stress of studying and learning to cook had caused him to hallucinate?
That didn't make sense.
He didn't like dogs, so why would he have such hallucinations?
The next second.
Three Samoyeds lined up and walked out of the room. The one at the back had a bowl in its mouth.
The one at the front ran to Gu Qi's feet and kept spinning.
Gu Qi patted its head. She was so busy cooking for Mu Yuan that she forgot about the three dogs. They hadn't had dinner yet.
So Gu Qi immediately got up and prepared dinner for the three dogs.
The three dogs stood in a row and drank the milk on the plates.
Mu Yuan looked at Gu Qi and asked, "What are their names?"
Gu Qi pointed at them one by one, "Da Pang, Little Le, Little Jing."
Although she didn't do anything, she inexplicably felt guilty at this time.
It was as if she, Wen Renjing, and Jiang Lechuan had excluded Mu Yuan together.
With Mu Yuan's intelligence, he immediately understood the reason behind the names of the two puppies.
He blinked and asked, "Is that a gift from my cousin? Very cute names."
Mu Yuan squatted in front of the puppies.
The introverted boy gently rubbed the puppy's head and the scene looked warm and beautiful.
After the puppies finished their meal, Gu Qi washed the bowls, while Mu Yuan took some pet snacks that Gu Qi gave him and fed them.
He asked, "Elder Sister is so busy. Can you take care of three dogs at the same time?"
Gu Qi put the bowls aside helplessly, "I originally wanted to raise Da Pang, but somehow it turned into three. I have already told Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing that the other two must be given away. I will keep them here for a few days."
As soon as Gu Qi finished speaking.
The three puppies seemed to understand human words and stopped eating the snacks and looked up at Gu Qi.
Gu Qi: "!"
They don't understand, right? They probably don't understand!
What's with this inexplicable feeling of guilt! ?
However, they were so cute. All three were so cute, she felt reluctant to give them away.
Looking at Gu Qi's hesitant expression, Mu Yuan basically understood her dilemma.
Mu Yuan asked, "Elder Sister, you don't want to give them away, right?"
"Even if I can’t bear to, it can't be helped." Gu Qi propped her chin with one hand and took a small ball to play with Da Pang, "If it's another time, I can consider it. But now I'm about to join the production. I really can't take care of three dogs at the same time."
Mu Yuan looked at Gu Qi, "Don't worry, Elder Sister, I can come and help you take care of them."
At Mu Yuan's home, his parents had picked up many injured animals. The most exaggerated time, they had raised six dogs at the same time.
Although most of them were later given away and found adoptive families, there was still a small native dog and a greedy orange cat.
Generally, his parents were responsible for taking care of them. But when parents were busy going out to help others, Mu Yuan would more or less help.
So Mu Yuan was forced to have some experience in taking care of animals.
Gu Qi: "!"
Gu Qi didn't believe what Mu Yuan said at first, thinking that he was ‘boasting’ because he liked puppies.
When walking the dogs, Mu Yuan was holding the youngest dog, Xiao Jing, as well as being able to walk the other two with ease. Seeing him handle it with ease, Gu Qi fell into deep contemplation.
Gu Qi thought of how dishevelled she was yesterday when being led by these two Samoyeds and running in the community. She felt deep respect for Mu Yuan.
For some reason, her thin younger cousin brother became taller.
For Mu Yuan, this was indeed a very easy thing.
After all, his highest record was walking eight dogs at the same time.
So after returning home, Mu Yuan suggested again that they could keep the three dogs. Gu Qi was really tempted.
Nonsense.
If she didn't have to take care of them herself, she could raise three cute furry dogs at the same time. Who wouldn't be tempted.
Gu Qi was still a little hesitant, "You are already a senior high school student. This will delay your studies."
Mu Yuan seemed to find it a little funny, "Elder Sister, I can take the college entrance examination now."
Gu Qi: "..."
Pardon me.
She almost forgot that the person standing in front of her was Mu Yuan, who was known as a genius boy.
Anyone may be affected by these trivial matters in their studies, but Mu Yuan would never be. There was no need for him to learn the knowledge in the books.
Mu Yuan pondered and then took the initiative to suggest: "I will participate in a competition next month. If I win, I will be admitted to the Imperial University, so Elder Sister doesn't have to worry."
"Besides." Mu Yuan said, squatting down and rubbing the most friendly Da Pang, looking at Gu Qi: "With them, won't be lonely at all. Elder Sister thinks so too."
Mu Yuan smiled lightly, but there was some inexplicable timidity in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Elder Sister would reject him.
Yes.
It was indeed lonely to live alone for a long time.
Gu Qi thought of what Mu Yuan said when she was outside the house and his behaviour of trying to hold back his sadness.
Since Mu Yuan had taken the initiative to take care of the puppies, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.
At most, she could hire a nanny to take care of the puppies. As long as she wanted to keep them, there was always a way.
So Gu Qi nodded, "Okay."
She took out her phone and sent a message to the small group of four people, telling Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing that they didn't need to look for people to adopt the puppies anymore and that she was going to keep them all.
Jiang Lechuan replied immediately.
[! ! ]
[Good, good, good, good! Good, good, good! ]
Obviously, Jiang Lechuan liked these puppies very much and was reluctant to give them to others.
He had been trying hard to persuade his teammates to keep dogs, but no one agreed. He was very distressed. After seeing his elder sister say this, he finally felt relieved.
Wen Renjing asked.
[Why did you suddenly change your mind? Can you take care of them alone? ]
Wen Renjing was naturally unwilling to give the puppies away. After all, this was a gift for Elder Sister.
He knew his elder sister's personality. It wasn't easy to keep three dogs at the same time. She probably wouldn’t make any impulsive decisions. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
At this time. Mu Yuan sent a message in the group.
[Don't worry, I will take good care of them with Elder Sister. ]
Chapter 52
Wen Renjing naturally realized that something was amiss.
Why did Mu Yuan have to take care of the dog that he and Jiang Lechuan sent over?
When did that quiet and lone cousin start to care about Elder Sister as much as they did?
Wen Renjing typed his doubts in the dialog box and then felt that such a direct question seemed to make him care too much.
Can’t do.
Wen Renjing deleted the words in the dialog box one by one, not knowing how to organize his words.
Wen Renjing had always been the most eloquent, but now for once he was hesitating.
The group fell into silence.
At this moment.
Jiang Lechuan replied.
[Yes, yes! Keep the dogs! We can all take care of it together! 】
Jiang Lechuan was still immersed in the excitement of being able to keep the puppy, and didn't realize the problem.
Mu Yuan said ‘I… with Elder Sister’ and Jiang Lechuan's brain automatically translated it into ‘We… with Elder Sister’ without sensing anything wrong.
Wen Renjing froze for a moment before curling his lips.
How did he not think of it? The easiest way to deal with green tea was to pretend that he can't understand the other party's meaning like Jiang Lechuan.
So Wen Renjing followed Jiang Lechuan’s suit, expressing to take care of the dogs when they have time. The atmosphere can even be described as "happy".
Irked, Mu Yuan frowned.
It was different from what he thought.
He was originally waiting for Jiang Lechuan or Wen Renjing to ask and he would casually tell them that he and Elder Sister were taking care of the three puppies together today.
Surprisingly, they didn't notice?
So Mu Yuan picked up his phone again, took a few photos of the puppy, and posted them on WeChat Moments.
Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing would definitely be able to tell from the revealed background that it was Gu Qi's home.
Mu Yuan's content was very simple.
[The puppies at Elder Sister's house is very cute. ][Picture][Picture][Picture]
Mu Yuan rarely posts on WeChat Moments and the classmates who added him to the list were shocked.
A classmate who wasn't familiar with him couldn't help but comment curiously: "Is it Elder Sister Gu Qi?"
Mu Yuan replied: "Of course ><!"
Mu Yuan specially found an emoticon and added it at the end.
Seeing that Mu Yuan's reply was so friendly and even cute, Other classmates boldly commented on the moment post of this unfamiliar academic god.
Someone commented: "Really cute!!!"
Mu Yuan replied: "Of course, after all, they're Elder Sister's dogs."
How could it not be cute? If it wasn't given by Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing, it would be even cuter.
Another person commented: "Is Elder Sister Gu Qi actually raising this many dogs? That's a lot of work!"
Mu Yuan replied again: "No, I will help her take care of them."
Another girl sighed: "You and Elder Sister have such a good relationship, I'm so envious!"
Mu Yuan curled his lips and replied: "Thank you."
He vaguely remembered the name of this girl. It seemed that he had seen her in a training camp for some competition before. She probably had asked him questions. If there was a chance next time, he could explain more questions to her.
Jiang Lechuan commented too.
[! ? Are you at Elder Sister's house now? ]
[Ahhh, hateful magazine shoot! I want to go and play with you guys too! ! ! ]
[Forget it! See you tomorrow! ! ! ]
Sure enough, Jiang Lechuan knew he was at Elder Sister's house and was very envious.
But...
Seeing that Jiang Lechuan said ‘I want to go and play with you guys too’, it included him.
Mu Yuan's hand tapped on the screen, but he didn't know how to reply.
Forget it.
He wasn't targeting Jiang Lechuan.
He took in the clean and comfortable sheets in the guest room. The room was fully furnished with a faint clear fragrance. It was originally a very beautiful environment.
However, the cushions on the chairs and the pillows on the bed were obviously the images of the cartoon doll that Wen Renjing liked to post on WeChat Moments recently.
At this moment.
Wen Renjing happened to like Mu Yuan's moment post, but didn't comment.
Mu Yuan put down his phone. The bookshelf caught his eyes.
There were some books on the bookshelf, which he liked to read in the past and Elder Sister bought them when she saw them at that time.
Elder Sister used to care about him the most, always trying to understand what he liked and wanted to get into his world a little bit.
Although there were some changes now.
Jiang Lechuan had filled Elder Sister's life so full that Elder Sister no longer spent as much time on him as before.
Mu Yuan could somewhat accept Jiang Lechuan, because he knew that Jiang Lechuan wasn't the kind of selfish person who wanted to have Elder Sister all to himself.
On the contrary, Jiang Lechuan always tried to take care of him like an elder brother despite how reliable he was.
Because of Wen Renjing's existence, Mu Yuan still couldn't let down his guard.
Because he couldn't understand what Wen Renjing was thinking and didn't know why he began to appear frequently in his elder sister's life.
It didn't matter though.
He would try to enter Elder Sister's world as Elder Sister approached him before.
He would become the most well-behaved and irreplaceable younger brother at Elder Sister’s side.
＊
Early the next morning.
What woke up Gu Qi before the alarm cup was the fragrance coming in from the crack of the door.
Gu Qi took a deep sniff.
She couldn't tell what it was, but it smelled so good that her stomach growled.
So Gu Qi got up immediately, washed and changed her clothes in the shortest time. When he walked out, he saw a table full of breakfast and three puppies sleeping on the carpet next to the sofa.
Mu Yuan put the soy milk he bought with a straw in front of Gu Qi's usual seat and called, "Elder Sister, good morning."
"Good morning." Though Gu Qi had woken up, she felt like she was still dreaming and ‘a snail girl’ had entered her house at some unknown time. [ Snail Girl is a character in the local folklore story of Fuzhou City]
When Gu Qi sat at the dining table and looked at the puppies who should have been energetic at this time of the day with a confused look, she realized that Mu Yuan had gotten up long ago.
While she was dreaming, Mu Yuan fed and walked the dogs and bought so much breakfast. Oh...it seemed that he had mopped the floor of her living room. Yesterday, some of her hair fell since she washed her hair but now the floor was clean.
Mu Yuan showed a little regret on her face, "I wanted to come back to make breakfast for Elder Sister, but when Da Pang passed by the park, he was too playful and didn't have enough time, so I could only buy some back."
Gu Qi repeatedly waved her hands. She was the one who got Mu Yuan to come to her house. It was obviously her, as an elder sister, who should take care of the younger brother. So why did she need Mu Yuan to cook for her?
When Gu Qi saw her favorite glutinous rice in the bought breakfast on the table, she felt her mood hit the peak.
Gu Qi suddenly realized that Mu Yuan had come to her home.
Someone walked the puppy and someone took care of breakfast. It seemed that living with younger brother wasn't bad.
Thinking this, Gu Qi happily scooped a large spoonful of glutinous rice into her mouth.
Breakfast was over.
The person Gu Qi invited to take care of the dogs arrived at her home. After briefly informing the other party of the preferences of the three puppies and matters to pay attention to, Gu Qi took Mu Yuan on the road to the program recording.
Mu Yuan sat in the front passenger seat. Looking at the rabbit doll ornaments in front of him and another rabbit pillow in the back seat of the car, it was clear that Wen Renjing gave it.
Mu Yuan said nothing.
From today on, he will not like rabbits.
＊
To everyone's surprise, the guests of this episode were still the siblings of the Shen Family.
So there was no self-introduction session today. Everyone took the bus to the new mission location together.
On the bus.
While the host's camera was interviewing the siblings of the Shen Family, Wen Renjing quietly patted Gu Qi's shoulder, moved away the microphone and lowered his voice in her ear: "Hang Ze asked me to remind you to pay attention. Today's process is Director Shen’s handicraft behind the scenes. It’s estimated that there will be some acting PK session."
Gu Qi was a little surprised.
If the acting competition was directly carried out before the live broadcast, she will naturally have nothing to fear.
The audience's eyes were sharp. If she was better, she would be recognized. If she didn't perform well, it was because she couldn't compare to others. There was nothing to be unwilling to accept.
If it was deliberately arranged by Director Shen, it could only prove one thing-
This link was to completely eliminate the negative impact of the previous interview on Shen Anran. So Shen Anranmust win her to be recognized.
Although Gu Qi wasn't confident enough to say that she would definitely win in the acting competition with Shen Anran, it was impossible for Shen Anran to beat her 100%.
Once she loses, it would only be more embarrassing and netizens could be more certain that Shen Anran entered Jinyue due to her relationship.
This was really risky.
Gu Qi couldn't understand why she had to do this. It was obvious that the better way for Shen Anran was to keep a low profile. After this period of time, netizens would no longer mention it.
Unless.
Shen Anran had enough confidence and will definitely beat her.
The group came to the recording location, a public high school.
It was now class time. There were not many people here and they had an absolutely free shooting environment.
The director team explained today’s first game rules.
Everyone had to perform a ‘big play’. Each person would receive a different identity card, which may be the protagonist or the supporting role.
They only provide a basic identity and a simple story background. Following this, all the lines and action could be freely designed by them.
During this time.
There were professional directors and hundreds of specially invited audiences who will watch their performances through the live broadcast and then score everyone's interpretation of the role.
The higher the score, the more advantages one will have in the next activity.
Gu Qi finally understood why Shen Anran or the director behind her was so confident.
The identity cards were not drawn by themselves, but were issued by the production team in order. This meant that what identity each person could draw was arranged.
Shen Anran exclaimed, "Oh my!"
"What a coincidence! I'm the female lead!"
After Zhizi opened her ID card, she showed a trace of confusion in her eyes and whispered, "I'm the follower A of the vicious female support."
The follower A of the vicious female support.
Gu Qi could basically be sure that the card in her hand was the vicious female support.
If one didn't have absolute confidence in acting skills, one have to rely on their personality.
The female lead played by Shen Anran was kind and beautiful, while this female support was a brainless, stupid and bad character according to the information provided by the production team.
If her act wasn’t naturally, she would be compared with Shen Anran.
If it was, it would earn the audience’s dislike.
At this moment, Jiang Lechuan's distressed voice sounded: "Frigid cool student council president? Me? Frigid and cool?"
The barrage was full of hahahaha.
[I remember the director described Jiang Lechuan's character as ‘serious’, ‘unexpressive’, and ‘speaks very little’. These had nothing to do with Jiang Lechuan! ]
[Jiang Lechuan's character will collapse in a second. Even if Jiang Lechuan can hold back, I can't hold back, hahahaha]
[Jiang Lechuan: Don't you know that I am the most talkative person in our family? (confused)]
Jiang Lechuan's face was filled with despair.
If he couldn't smile or talk, he might as well be killed!
Gu Qi didn't hesitate at all. She looked at Jiang Lechuan beside her and held out her ID card, "Switch."
Chapter 53
Jiang Lechuan: "!!!"
Jiang Lechuan immediately swapped his ID card with Gu Qi, fearing that Gu Qi would regret it if he was a second late.
For Jiang Lechuan, the most terrifying thing in the world was not being able to speak. As long as he wasn't a silent and introverted person, anything was fine. Even if he swaps his identity with Shen Anran, it was better than the current one!
[At this moment, Jiang Lechuan's eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Qi]
[Use the Shut Up Seal on Jiang Lechuan — Gu Qi use the Exchange Skill - Seal Failed]
Someone else proposed.
[Did the director say... that ID cards can be swapped? ]
Shen Anran raised this question.
She added: "I'm just curious."
Shen Anran naturally didn't want to watch Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan exchange identity cards, otherwise how could the plan go as she wanted?
"What are you curious about?" Ning Xiwei outright sneered: "Are you dissatisfied with the card in your hand? You can give me the position of female lead, don't..."
Don't pretend to be innocent when you benefit!
Ning Xiwei had yet to finish her words when her elder sister suddenly patted her arm to remind her not to talk nonsense.
Although Ning Xiwei was irked, she knew that she couldn't say too much. She pursed her lips and turned her face away.
[Damn, why is Ning Xiwei so angry as if she had eaten gunpowder? ]
[Cold fact, Ning Xiwei participated in a dating variety show yesterday, met a top-notch male guest, and directly berated his whole family on the live broadcast]
[Ning Xiwei: I'm already annoyed, don't bother me in front of me]
[Hahaha Ning Xiwei gradually changed from ‘pretending to be a green tea’ to ‘I won't pretend anymore’ and then to ‘attacking everyone’, right]
Shen Anran looked at a loss, she waved her hands to explain herself: "I don't mean anything else. If it makes you unhappy, please pretend I didn't ask."
"What am I unhappy about?" Ning Xiwei smiled gently again, looking at Shen Anran: "I want to exchange identity cards with you. Compared with the Eldest Miss’s follower B, I certainly want to be a female lead for once. If you don't want to switch, please pretend I didn't ask."
[Feck! Ning Xiwei, lend me your mouth! ]
[What a master of snarkiness! Who understands? Family, I'm satisfied.]
[I remember Ning Xiwei didn't like acting very much. She made it clear when she debuted that she wanted to stand on the stage forever.]
[It's because of the wish Meng Yu wrote in her diary; she like singing and dancing.]
[Is it me who thinks... Ning Xiwei doesn't want to compete for the female lead. She only wants to stand on Gu Qi's side?]
[Who doesn't know Ning Xiwei’s super love? When asked about her ideal type in a dating variety show, she was short of saying Gu Qi's name.]
["Brave, have a sense of justice, and have the courage to stand up and protect the disadvantaged." "Smart, I don't want stupidity." "It's better to talk less. Aloof? Of course it's okay."]
After Ning Xiwei finished speaking, she didn't look at Shen Anran, but looked directly at the director.
The director instantly shuddered.
Although Ning Xiwei didn't say anything, he seemed to understand.
Ning Xiwei wasn't really trying to steal Shen Anran's female lead, but was warning him that if he didn't let Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan exchange their ID cards, she would make a scene that would make the show unable to continue recording.
The director's brain spun fast.
He wasn't familiar with Shen Wei, but he was doing a favor for this senior in the industry.
If Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan exchanged their ID cards, the show would definitely be more interesting than before!
Plus there was a Ning Xiwei crouching in wait, as if she was going to make a scene in the next second. So the director decided in a second: "Alright, alright, everyone, look at your ID cards!"
He didn't care! Do whatever they want!
Ning Xiwei showed an exaggerated expression of disappointment, while the smiling Shen Anran's face turned pale.
And then, everyone opened their ID cards one after another.
Gu Qi played the aloof student council president, Shen Jinyi was a silly but rich and rampant in school second-generation rich, Wen Renjing was a violin master from a musical family, and Mu Yuan played a top student genius, but with a sharp tongue.
The four of them formed something similar to F4 in the school.
Jiang Lechuan had the vicious ‘female’ supporting role, while Zhizi and Ning Xiwei were his two followers.
When the staff brought the school uniform skirt, Jiang Lechuan took three steps back: "I’m wearing this? I I I don't want it!"
He was so scared that he stuttered.
Wear a skirt? He will be laughed to death by his teammates when he goes back!
"Let you play the aloof." Gu Qi looked at him expressionlessly.
Three seconds later, Jiang Lechuan picked up the skirt in front of him.
[Hahaha Jiang Lechuan: It's still more terrifying not being able to speak! ]
[Gu Qi: Use one sentence to subdue the top star]
[ What I do to deserve to see Jiang Lechuan in women's clothing]
The others took their clothes and entered the temporary dressing room set up by the production team.
After changing their clothes, everyone came out.
Gu Qi had a baseball cap and tied her long hair to the back of her head, looking quite like it.
Jiang Lechuan's short hair and school uniform skirt looked a bit strange.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Jiang Lechuan unconsciously closed his legs a little, stretched out his hands to cover his skirt, and inexplicably felt a little more shy.
Wen Renjing's lips twitched as he held back his laughter.
Then he remarked: "So disgusting."
[Hahaha Wen Renjing, you are so mean! ]
[Jiang Lechuan, what are you being shy about! ]
[It's his first time wearing a skirt, can't he be shy for a while? ]
Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore and asked the director team: "Don't you have a wig?"
Of course not.
After all, no one could imagine that there would be a cross-dressing segment all of a sudden. How could they prepare such props?
Gu Qi asked this question only because she couldn't stand seeing short-haired Jiang Lechuan wearing a skirt. She didn't hold too much hope.
At this moment, Ning Xiwei's face showed three parts of hesitation, four parts of entanglement, and three parts of wanting to laugh.
She raised her hand: "...It's possible to have."
If Gu Qi wanted to, it was possible.
[? ? ? ]
[What do you mean it's possible? Ning Xiwei, please make it clear! ]
In front of everyone.
Ning Xiwei expressionlessly began to take extensions from the top of her head.
Forehead, temples, back of the head.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces. A total of four pieces were taken off.
Ning Xiwei handed them to Jiang Lechuan.
Jiang Lechuan: “???”
Wigs? So many? Were they for him?
The scene fell into a dead silence.
[?! I…I! I don’t know what words to use to describe my shock at the moment]
[Ning Xiwei! You! I’m crying! This is what you mean by it’s possible to have? Taking it off from your own head? ]
[Why is it so quiet? No one is laughing? Are your hearts made of stone? ]
No one laughed at the scene because everyone was stunned.
Shen Anran widened her eyes.
Shen Jinyi’s mouth was opened wide.
Jiang Lechuan froze with the wig pieces in hand.
Mu Yuan closed his eyes. This scene was so strange.
Wen Renjing was stunned for a few seconds, "...Wow."
Even Wen Renjing couldn't say anything.
Gu Qi's lips twitched slightly.
Everyone stared at Ning Xiwei's head.
Obviously, she didn't have too much hair left. It could even be said that it was a little thin.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Ning Xiwei fumed: "We idols have to dye our hair for the stage every now and then. It's normal to have less hair!"
And she didn't have too little hair, okay?
It was a little less! A little! What was there to look at?
The towering Shen Jinyi suddenly hunched his shoulders and touched his hair in fear.
He dyed his hair a fashionable and cool silver hair for the show. He felt that he looked very handsome like a mixed-race and planned to continue dyeing this color in the future.
Did dyeing hair really damage hair this much?
Forget it, it was better for him to dye his hair less.
He looked at Younger Sister again and seemed to be afraid of hurting Ning Xiwei's self-esteem, so he whispered: "Don't dye your hair either."
Shen Anran: "..."
Like Shen Jinyi, Jiang Lechuan was consumed with doubts. He scratched his head and confirmed that he had a lot of hair. He declared, "No, my stylist said I have too much hair..."
"Shut up!" Ning Xiwei couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Jiang Lechuan, "You have a lot of hair because Gu Qi has a lot of hair. Your family has good genes! Can you go and see other idols? For example, your teammates aren’t faring any better..."
Ning Xiwei paused when she said this.
Realizing what she had said and how she didn't care about her image in front of the camera, she was stunned.
What...
What was she doing?
Seeing that Jiang Lechuan was still holding the extensions that originally belonged to her, Ning Xiwei realized that she had lost her image in both hair and personality.
It was still in the live broadcast and in front of Gu Qi.
A feeling of despair made Ning Xiwei feel as if she had lost her soul.
At this moment.
"Puff——"
Gu Qi couldn't help it, she laughed.
She wanted to laugh when Ning Xiwei started to take off the wigs for Jiang Lechuan, but it was abrupt for her to laugh alone when others didn't laugh.
She couldn't help it when she saw Ning Xiwei and Jiang Lechuan quarreling. The scene was childish and ridiculous.
When Ning Xiwei looked over, Gu Qi could only try to control her expression and explained: "I'm sorry, but your expression now was really cute, like... a roaring kitten."
Gu Qi tried very hard to find an adjective, trying to express her meaning to Ning Xiwei as much as possible; that her laughter was really not a mockery.
Ning Xiwei looked at Gu Qi awkwardly: "I know."
Though she was calm on the surface, there were like a hundred parrots screaming wildly in her heart.
What what what!
Kitten kitten kitten?
Did she have such a cute image in Gu Qi's eyes?
Okay.
Okay!
The next second, she noticed Jiang Lechuan was about to say something. Ning Xiwei’s expression instantly changed again. She raised his chin and gave Jiang Lechuan an eye roll.
Jiang Lechuan still tried to explain himself: "I don't..."
He didn't mean to laugh at Ning Xiwei!
Ning Xiwei's eyes widened, almost having ‘I will kill you if you say another word’ written on her face.
Jiang Lechuan: "..."
Feeling so oppressed, he looked at Elder Sister aggrievedly to seek help.
Gu Qi didn't dare to take sides at this time. Even if she did, she couldn't stand on Jiang Lechuan's side. She could only walk up to Jiang Lechuan and stretched out her hand: "Give it to me."
Jiang Lechuan handed the wigs to Gu Qi in confusion.
Gu Qi used these wigs to braid two small balls for Jiang Lechuan; one on the left and one on the right. She used the super cute pink ribbon bow provided by the production team to create the most fluffy effect with the little wigs they had and clapped her hands with satisfaction.
The director team immediately raised the mirror and let Jiang Lechuan look at himself now.
Jiang Lechuan covered his eyes, expressing refusal.
[Hahaha, Gu Qi's hands are so clever! ]
[Jiang Lechuan, where did this little Nezha come from? This picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it! ]
[Why do I feel that Jiang Lechuan looks a little familiar? ]
[Because he looks like Gu Qi! The most similar thing about them is the nose and face! Of course they look alike if the eyes are covered! ]
[So this is what the cute version of Gu Qi looks like? ]
[The one in front! Who taught you such an equivalent! ]
[…Wait a minute, Gu Qi’s eyes seem a little off. How come there is a kind of loving expression (?) Can it be described like this? ]
[+1, I have never seen her look at Jiang Lechuan with such gentle eyes (sorry Jiang Lechuan but this is the truth!)]
[I have six elder cousin brothers. I am the only girl in the family and every one of them looks at me with the same expression as Gu Qi now...]
Chapter 54
Gu Qi had a second of fantasy in her heart.
It would be nice if she had a younger sister.
She had thought about it when she was little.
Because they wanted to show their kindness to her in front of outsiders, the Jiāng Family gave her a lot of gorgeous dresses, which she put in the closet and never took out.
If she had a cute younger sister, she would probably like those things.
Forget it, it didn't matter.
Looking at Jiang Lechuan wearing women’s clothes and braiding his hair, Gu Qi certainly wanted to laugh a little, but she knew Jiang Lechuan too well.
If she laughs at him, he will feel inferior. If she praises him, he will be proud. So Gu Qi could only say with a straight face: "Not bad."
She used the calmest tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Because Gu Qi's attitude was natural, Jiang Lechuan seemed to have confidence in himself.
Just women's clothing.
Just a wig.
How could he not handle it?
Jiang Lechuan put down his hand and looked at everyone around him.
In the first place, Ning Xiwei was annoyed with Jiang Lechuan and couldn’t be bothered to look at him now.
Zhizi and Shen Anran wouldn’t laugh at him out of politeness. Mu Yuan didn't laugh because he didn't like to laugh by nature.
Shen Jinyi wanted to laugh, but he was quickly pulled aside by Wen Renjing and away from Jiang Lechuan's sight.
Wen Renjing's idea was very simple. There wasn’t many chance to see Jiang Lechuan ‘black history’. He must not let Shen Jinyi laugh and hurt his self-esteem, otherwise Jiang Lechuan would quit. What would he watch?
So after a few seconds of pondering, Jiang Lechuan finally put down his hand reluctantly and completely accepted his appearance today.
Before the recording started, the director suddenly declared: "Let's welcome the last guest of today, an old friend of everyone!"
Amidst the perfunctory applause from everyone, Hang Ze appeared.
He wore a handsome suit today, holding a pair of sunglasses, and appeared with an attitude of ‘The weather is getting colder, so make his company bankrupt’: "Hello everyone, welcome to the participation of the campus idol drama directed by me. Please cooperate with the shooting today."
Wen Renjing stared at him in confusion and asked: "Why are you here?"
"You guys gave too much! Haha..." Hang Ze showed a very hearty smile. Realizing that it was still live, he immediately covered his mouth and put on a serious expression: "No, I mean because I like shooting and won't miss any opportunity."
Everyone: "..."
[How much did you give? Look at how happy our Director Hang is]
[The last time Hang Ze came, the videos he recorded for the sisters and aunts in the village in the variety show became viral on the short video website... A lot of millions of likes]
[Say, it's really tacky and addictive. I've watched many of them]
[I can see that Hang Ze is truly ecstatic]
[Nonsense, those views can be converted into a lot of money! ]
Hang Ze was in a merry mood.
He came here to give Wen Renjing face, but he didn't expect that the rustic skits he was forced to shoot during the variety show recording would suddenly explode on the Internet! And there was such a warm response!
In five days, his short video fans exceeded one million! Countless live broadcasts and brand promotions sought him.
After realizing that the current short video platform could be said to be ‘profitable’, Hang Ze immediately hired a professional team to run it for himself. After the live broadcasting, he found that it was really interesting and profitable!
So Hang Ze’s mood soared now and his eyes almost lit up when he saw Gu Qi.
It was all thanks to Gu Qi's proposal to shoot a rural skit at the time. If not, he would never have thought of shooting such a short video and it would be impossible to have the current attention.
Gu Qi's idea brought traffic and money to Hang Ze, so Hang Ze gazed at her with complete satisfaction.
He even started to think in his mind, why not wait until the recording was over and then ask Gu Qi if she had any other ideas. They could make money together!
Of course, Hang Ze didn't say these words in front of the camera-
He was afraid that some inferior directors would copy him. What to do when they steal his money?
Gu Qi was a little scared by Hang Ze's stare and turned to Wen Renjing with inquiring eyes.
Wen Renjing immediately waved his hands, indicating that he didn't know what craziness Hang Ze was up to.
[Is it my imagination? Why do I feel that Hang Ze had been staring at Gu Qi since he came?]
[It's not your imagination, because Ning Xiwei had already started frowning at Hang Ze]
[Good gosh, Ning Xiwei: a danger detector exclusively for Gu Qi
This scene didn't last too long. As actors, they naturally had to start the formal filming upon the director’s arrival.
In the first scene, the relationship between the characters was introduced.
Gu Qi, Shen Jinyi, Wen Renjing, and Mu Yuan appeared together.
Under the fixed camera, the four of them walked over from the other side of the bridge together. This was accompanied by the others’ ‘cheer’ under the coercion of Wen Renjing: "It's F4! F4!"
Shen Jinyi was so confident and cheerful. Under the cheers, he became more excited. He greeted the camera from a distance and walked out like a supermodel on a catwalk.
Wen Renjing kept smiling, while Mu Yuan and Gu Qi were expressionless.
Gu Qi considered how her character was aloof; no response was the best response.
Mu Yuan...
He had already said that he didn't like to give a reaction to people.
[Hang Ze! Are you going to shoot a campus Mary Sue after filming a rural urban short drama? ]
[Hahaha Hang Ze: I’ve been wronged. This script is obviously given by the director team]
[Have to say, if these four faces were the school idols when I was in high school, it's understandable that they attracted people's attention]
After the main ‘male’ characters appeared, it was the ‘female’ characters’ turn.
Hang Ze looked at the script in his hand. He originally joined this show to help Gu Qi because he accidentally learned about Shen Wei's arrangement and heard about the bad script that was arranged.
After all, he gained so many fans thanks to Gu Qi. He might as well return the favor, otherwise he would not feel at ease with the money and traffic.
However, by twist of fate, the person who played the vicious female supporting role became Jiang Lechuan.
Hang Ze uttered ‘wait a minute’ and quickly flipped through the script in his hand.
On the way here, he made the vicious female supporting role played by Gu Qi more vivid and changed the script to a certain extent.
But——
Now that Jiang Lechuan was playing the role? It was all fine!
Just play it as it was originally! The audience loved to watch that kind of brainless and cliche drama!
The female lead played by Shen Anran and the vicious female supporting role played by Jiang Lechuan met for the first time in the cafeteria.
It was a very old-fashioned plot. The top student female lead accidentally spilled a drink on the rich eldest miss and it became awkward because she couldn't afford to pay for the clothes.
To be fair, Shen Anran's acting skills were pretty good among the new generation of young actresses. She had excellent emotional control. Her red eyes and helpless hand gestures made her look so pitiful.
[When Shen Anran cries, I feel it must be... uh, Jiang Lechuan's fault! ]
[Jiang Lechuan! Apologize to her!!!]
Jiang Lechuan couldn't act, so he felt perplexed when he put himself into the role: "I'm the one who got splashed, alright? I haven't said anything yet? Why do you look like I'm bullying you?"
Shen Anran was stunned. It was written that the vicious female supporting role would humiliate her, so she got into the written role first. Unforeseen, Jiang Lechuan did not cooperate with the acting at all, but instead his face was full of... curiosity.
Hang Ze reminded him: "Evil female supporting role! Humiliate the female lead and make her pay for your clothes!"
Jiang Lechuan was slow to catch on and put on a ferocious expression: "Do you know how much my clothes cost? Pay me back!"
Shen Anran asked him with red eyes: "How much?"
Jiang Lechuan pondered for a while: "Eighty-eight!"
Everyone: "..."
For eighty-eight, how could one continue to act!
[Suddenly I remembered that someone had met them together at the night market to buy clothes sold by trucks]
[There was a belt sponsored by a brand worth tens of thousands. When Jiang Lechuan promoted it, he paired it with a pair of shorts that he bargained down from fifty to fifteen from an old man at the night market]
[As a top star, do you have to be so frugal? Huh? ]
Jiang Lechuan felt that he had rough skin and thick flesh and that he couldn’t tell the difference between wearing clothes worth tens and thousands or tens of thousands. Therefore, he put all the money he saved on a card.
On that card was all the money he had received from his parents since he was a child and every penny he had earned after entering the entertainment industry. From tens of hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions, all of which were saved on that card.
A little more.
A little more.
A little more.
When he could buy whatever Elder Sister needed and give it to her, he could proudly take out this card.
So when Shen Anran asked him how much it was, he instinctively entered the bargaining mode and quoted a low price.
The play was naturally very awkward at this point.
Shen Anran originally thought Jiang Lechuan would say something astronomical and the prepared lines were ‘I'm sorry I really can't afford this amount. I'll wash it for you’. However, she could only squeeze out a dry sentence: "Then, then I'll wash it for you." Hang Ze emphasized: "Don't agree easily. You have to make things difficult for her!" Otherwise, Jiang Lechuan, as a vicious female supporting role who only wears 88 yuan clothes and was easy to talk to... No, how was he vicious?
Jiang Lechuan frowned. Make things difficult for her?
Alright then.
So Jiang Lechuan raised his chin and snorted: "My clothes are very important. Don't try to be lazy by using the washing machine. You have to wash them by hand!"
[Okay, okay, okay! With your smart brain, this is your idea of making things difficult for people, right? ]
[Let Jiang Lechuan bully people? How can he know how to... The children is born without a scheming mind]
[In Jiang Lechuan's opinion, not allowed to use the washing machine and must wash by hand is already overboard! ]
[Jiang Lechuan had twisted the whole path crooked with his clear stupidity]
[I am almost on Jiang Lechuan's side. He is the one whose clothes are soiled. Why is Shen Anran so aggrieved? I’m suddenly a little irked]
[How can this be a vicious female supporting role? This is clearly my lovely ‘Eldest Miss’! ]
"Pff——"
Ning Xiei laughed.
Wen Renjing looked at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ning Xiwei slowly uttered, "Although stupid, this is like a real clueless sweetie."
Chapter 55
[Hahaha, indeed! Who wouldn’t say that Jiang Lechuan is cute when seeing this.]
[Why do I feel that Ning Xiwei's words are full of hidden meanings... Jiang Lechuan is a real clueless sweetie. So who is the fake? ]
[@Shen Anran, our Elder Sis Wei is calling you! ]
[Compared with Jiang Lechuan, Shen Anran's excuse of being a little white flower and pitiful is really untenable]
[Then it's all Jiang Lechuan's fault for not playing by the rules, hahahaha! ]
Hang Ze didn't expect that Jiang Lechuan would mess up the originally rustic Mary Sue script.
Forget it.
Seeing that Jiang Lechuan really couldn't act, Hang Ze could only shout ‘cut’, guide the next scene according to the script, and let other actors enter the scene.
Zhizi and Ning Xiwei played Jiang Lechuan's two followers, who increased the bullying. Then the ‘campus F4’ would come out and save the beauty.
This scene was easy.
Ning Xiwei initially found Shen Anran an eyesore. She took advantage of the convenience brought by the role and properly gave a round of snarkiness. She was almost short of saying ‘Stop pretending to be a white lotus’.
Jiang Lechuan scratched his head, "Actually, it's just a piece of clothing..."
"Is it your turn to mediate?" Ning Xiwei rolled her eyes at Jiang Lechuan, took off his school uniform jacket, and handed it to Shen Anran, "Go ahead. Didn’t you say you’ll wash it?"
[Hahaha Jiang Lechuan: What kind of scene is this? I don't understand]
[It’s agreed that Jiang Lechuan is the vicious female support and Ning Xiwei and Zhizi are the followers? How come it's the eldest lady's turn to dissuade the follower! ]
[You're all out of character! ]
[From another perspective, Ning Xiwei seems to have some acting talent. She didn't dryly glare when she's angry. Her expression control is pretty good]
[+1 above. It's not the kind of unreasonable school bullying, but calm sarcasm, making others think she's the one who's right]
Ning Xiwei naturally didn't like this link. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell giving Shen Anran a female lead identity card was to promote her.
Let everyone be supporting roles to Shen Anran so she could play the role of a white flower female lead? Dream on!
Shen Anran could only look out of the venue with pitiful eyes, trying to seek help.
Without the addition of new characters, Hang Ze knew that the play couldn’t continue. So he could only act as a narrator: "Just then, F4 passes by and decides to stop the quarrel on the campus. The one who stepped forward is... is..."
Hang Ze looked at the four people nearby.
Shen Jinyi's eyes were obviously wide open because it was the first time he saw such a scene equivalent to the shooting of a TV series. Curiosity was written all over his face.
He definitely didn’t know how to act. No can do.
Gu Qi yawned.
She didn't know how long she would have to stand here, nor did she know when she would go on stage.
Mu Yuan didn't even look at them.
He lowered his head and played with the Rubik's Cube that Gu Qi bought for him last time. He had already put together a few faces.
Wen Renjing had an expression of spectating. But when he realized that Hang Ze's eyes were fixed on him, he instantly restrained his smile.
Hang Ze naturally wanted to trick Wen Renjing, who had the best relationship with him. He directly said: "The one who stepped forward to stop is Wen Renjing..."
Wen Renjing, who was outside Hang Ze's camera, immediately reached out his hand-
Pushing Gu Qi, who was in a daze, into the camera sight.
Gu Qi: "???"
Hang Ze: "?"
Hang Ze had an unsmiling smile. Gritting his teeth, he made up: "Is Wen Renjing’s right side’s...Gu Qi!"
Gu Qi: "..."
Wen Renjing plotted on her.
Forget it.
Gu Qi entered the venue as the aloof student council president, glancing at everyone present: "Gathering to cause trouble? According to school rules, each person will be deducted three points."
After saying that, she turned and left, ignoring the shouts of Shen Anran behind her.
"Cut cut cut!" Hang Ze called to stop, looked at Gu Qi and asked: "You come? You go?"
[Hahaha because Gu Qi was pushed in by Wen Renjing. She didn't want to act here at all! ]
[How can this be the hero who saves the beauty. This is a random passerby]
[What do you mean by a random passerby? It's obviously a fair passerby! Everyone gets three points deductions! ]
Shen Anran looked at her with grievance and asked, "Didn't you hear me calling you?"
"I heard it." Gu Qi nodded and added, "I'm very aloof. I should leave after I handle the matter."
Hang Ze: "..."
It actually sounded reasonable.
Hang Ze couldn't recover the following scene. Still he was happy to watch the fun, calling each of them to take turns to perform.
An awkward and cliche Mary Sue drama had ended. It was really——
There was no way to test acting skills.
All this was different from what Shen Anran anticipated. Seeing that there was no way to properly pull down Gu Qi to highlight herself, the smile on her face was a little forced. She could only bite the bullet and finish the performance.
At this moment, the headline that her uncle originally arranged for someone to prepare for her had been on the hot search.
＃Shen Anran's acting is amazing＃
＃Shen Anran and Gu Qi's acting comparison＃
＃Shen Anran wins by a landslide＃
Netizens: "???"
[No, what's this hot search? Are you serious? ]
[Although Shen Anran's acting is indeed okay... but it's not to this exaggerated point. How can you measure her acting skills in that situation? Isn't it a comedy? ]
[I don't understand. Where’s the comparison between Shen Anran and Gu Qi's acting? What did Gu Qi play today! She's almost invisible! There are so many people present, so it's more reasonable to compare with anyone else other than Gu Qi, right? ]
[Aloof nod, aloof speech, aloof departure. A background board that fits the character very well]
[Gu Qi: I didn't say anything and I’m still pulled in? Huh? ? ? ]
[Why does this scene look familiar... When everyone said that Jin Yue only signed Shen Anran, she was praised like this, right? ]
[Then she was severely slapped in the face by the video released by He Quanyi, hahaha]
[Here it comes again! With the last audition video, we aren’t blind. Don’t we know who performed well and who performed poorly? ]
[Am I the only one who thinks this hot search headline is amissed? It seems to be bought]
[I suddenly have a bold idea... If Jiang Lechuan and Gu Qi didn't swap roles and let Gu Qi play the vicious female support who confronts and quarrels with Shen Anran, wouldn’t all these hot searches be true? ]
[Damn, it’s terrifying to think about it! ]
[I was saying, aren’t they from the same company? Isn't this treatment difference a bit too much?]
[Half of the people in the industry heard that the directors in Jinyue don't get along well, some prefer Shen Anran and some prefer Gu Qi, so... (spreading hands)]
[@Director Xie Yun! Director Xie, what's going on? Please say something! Gu Qi depends on you to protect her!]
...
Amidst the hot search that originally praised Shen Anran, there was a lot of ridicule at this moment.
Netizens weren’t stupid. With this kind of obvious comparison and stepping on others' hot searching and Shen Anran's performance today wasn't convincing enough, it would be strange if they were brainwashed!
Of course, Shen Anran's fans were still arguing for her, but this time most of the passers-by netizens were on Gu Qi's side. They thought that it was an unprovoked disaster for Gu Qi and felt heartache for her for the special treatment despite being from the same company. They fiercely overwhelmed her fans.
While at the recording scene.
This session finally ended. The person who won the first place in the netizens' vote was --
Ning Xiwei.
Although she was a vicious female support’s little follower, she snatched the words that Jiang Lechuan couldn't say. As an idol with such acting skills, the netizens have a good evaluation of her.
Shen Anran never thought that she didn't lose to Gu Qi, but to Ning Xiwei who ad-libbed for no reason.
She couldn't show dissatisfaction, putting on a smile and applauding to congratulate Ning Xiwei.
As the first place, Ning Xiwei enjoyed an absolute privilege today, that was, she was the only one who had money. A lot of money.
Except Ning Xiwei, everyone else had to find a job at school or help other classmates to get money to solve the dinner situation.
More importantly, in the process of getting money, everyone must not break out of their character.
Fuming, Jiang Lechuan let out a scoff and asked, "It can’t be that I have to go to the cafeteria and randomly bully someone and get others to buy me lunch?"
He was a vicious female support! Which vicious female support would honestly work and study!
The director pointed at Ning Xiwei, "The third method is to work for Ning Xiwei."
Ning Xiwei waved a stack of hundred bills in her hand, showing a proud expression,, "If you honestly follow me, I can treat you to lunch."
Jiang Lechuan straightforwardly stated, "Then I might as well starve to death!"
A gentleman could be killed but not humiliated!
The director team gave Ning Xiwei a thousand yuan. If the relationship between the guests of other variety shows was more harmonious, she would probably take out the thousand yuan to treat all the guests to lunch.
Ning Xiwei didn't want to. She pulled Zhizi out first. Then she quietly gave her a hundred yuan and went straight to a dessert shop in the school that looked very expensive.
When she passed by in the morning, there was a big billboard at the door that advertised the new red date glutinous rice cakes. Gu Qi had glanced at it several times.
Ning Xiwei hurried over and bought the last one. Afterward, her eyes were attracted by other small desserts in the store.
They all looked good.
Ning Xiwei relied on her memory and picked some of Gu Qi's favorites and filled a big bag. She saw Gu Qi from a distance when she was leaving.
Ning Xiwei immediately waved and called her name.
Gu Qi walked over in confusion and a big bag of desserts was stuffed into her hand.
Fidgeting, Ning Xiwei said: "Although these are definitely not as delicious as what I make, it’ll make do."
Although Gu Qi was very tempted, she still refused. After all, no reward without merit.
Ning Xiwei smiled sweetly, "How about this? You eat the dessert I bought and you let me go to your house to rub the puppies."
[... Ning Xiwei, you are only like the old you when you are facing Gu Qi]
[What? Gu Qi has puppies? Puppies!? I want to rub them too!]
Finding this deal good value, Gu Qi agreed. But looking at the big bag in her hand and Ning Xiwei insisted on not taking any, she showed a conflicted expression.
Ning Xiwei excelled at observing people's micro-expressions, so she asked, "Is there something the matter?"
Gu Qi shook her head and nodded, "Every time I meet someone later, they will definitely ask me where I got so much food."
It was troublesome to repeatedly answer that Ning Xiwei gave it to her. Jiang Lechuan will definitely keep asking. If someone sees this and asks Ning Xiwei for it, will it cause trouble for her?
Gu Qi had already started pondering about finding a corner to secretly eat.
Ning Xiwei said directly: "Isn't it simple? Say that you are so beautiful and the cake shop owner gave it to you."
Gu Qi: "?"
Wasn't this too far fetched?
Ning Xiwei wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed a figure in the distance: "I am going to eat too. See you in the afternoon."
After that, she ran away.
Very soon.
Shen Anran saw Gu Qi coming over. As expected, she was shocked at the sight of the dessert in Gu Qi's hand.
When Shen Anran asked Gu Qi what she did to make so much money, Gu Qi blurted out: "I am beautiful, so the boss gave it."
After she finished speaking, the two of them fell into silence.
Awkward, really awkward.
Gu Qi didn't mean to say this. She had suddenly realized that the bag was full of her favorite desserts and realized that this was Ning Xiwei's olive branch of friendship.
Gu Qi realized a little late that Ning Xiwei seemed to like her very much and wanted to be friends with her.
This feeling... made her heart jump a little.
So now, Gu Qi's mind was full of Ning Xiwei's kindness during this period. She even realized that she didn't give much feedback.
When Shen Anran abruptly appeared, she blurted out what Ning Xiwei ‘taught’ her.
[Hahaha, one got guts to teach and the other got guts to say]
[ROFL, Gu Qi, you really have a serious talent for comedy]
[It's not that the cake shop owner was attracted by your beauty, it's Ning Xiwei who had already bowed down to your school uniform pants! ]
Because Gu Qi's expression was too calm, Shen Anran was stunned for a second, and then——
Believed it.
In Shen Anran's opinion, they were stars after all. It was normal for them to have some privileges in life compared to ordinary people.
So when Gu Qi left quickly out of embarrassment for saying something strange, Shen Anran walked into the cake shop.
There was still half an hour before school’s noon break and there were not many people here. There was only a short and chubby man standing against the cabinet playing with his mobile phone. He should be the owner of this shop.
Shen Anran smiled sweetly, "Hello."
The man looked up at Shen Anran and recognized her: "You are the TV’s Shen... Shen..."
"Hello, I am Shen Anran." Shen Anran took the initiative to introduce herself to him. Then she looked at a nearby piece of cake with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, this cake is so cute, can I take it?"
As she said, she blinked at the man expectantly, and then showed a shy expression.
"Yes, yes, yes! Shen Anran!" The man waved his hand: "Take it, take whatever you want."
After that, he took a photo with Shen Anran with his mobile phone. It seemed that he was going to constantly share it with his relatives and friends.
Shen Anran took out the small cake she chose, smiling on the surface, but disdainful in her heart. The reason why she went into this dessert shop was to prove that Gu Qi could get so many things from this man because of her celebrity status and it didn't mean anything.
Shen Anran took the cake she had chosen and peered behind the man, "Hello, the bag is there, can you..."
"Oh!" The short and chubby man immediately turned around, took out the package bag from the transparent cabinet behind him, and helped Shen Anran put the selected cake in it.
Shen Anran smiled sweetly throughout the whole process.
Until the door curtain suddenly burst open and a tall and thin middle-aged man walked in, "Apologies for the wait, I washed my face and came back."
The short and fat middle-aged man pointed to the fridge at the back, "Boss, please give me a bowl of steamed milk egg pudding. My wife is waiting at home."
The tall and thin man quickly took out the steamed milk egg pudding from the fridge and handed it to the short and chubby man. The short and chubby man handed over a fiver. It was obvious that he was a regular customer of this store.
Wait.
Regular customer?
A bad premonition crept into Shen Anran's heart.
Shen Anran's mind went blank. She stared at the short and chubby man: "Aren't you the owner of this store?"
"What owner?" The short and chubby man was obviously confused, "I came to buy steamed milk egg pudding."
Shen Anran couldn't understand: "I asked you if I can take this cake, didn't you say yes?"
The short and chubby man was even more confused: "Of course, this cake is put here for sale, isn't it? I'm not buying it, you can buy it if you want."
As soon as the short and chubby man finished speaking, his cell phone rang and he walked away while answering the phone.
The owner, that was, the tall and thin man who appeared later.
He looked at Shen Anran and the bag she was holding, smiled, "Dear customer, you misunderstood, I am the owner. What did you buy? How do you want to pay?"
Shen Anran: "..."
