"You're the pervert! Keeping this in the car? For changing clothes?"
You Yi's face turned frighteningly red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell: "It's my car, I can put whatever I want in it!"
Jiang Lai recalled the feel and size of the bra and said, "That wasn't your size either. You're an A cup and you wear a C cup?"
Lin Zhi patted Jiang Lai and said, "Hurry up and drive, Kevin is still behind us."
You Yi cast a grateful look at Lin Zhi, almost kneeling down and calling her "Dad"!
Jiang Lai listened to Lin Zhi and didn't press the matter further or argue with her. She started the engine, drove the car out of the campsite, and onto the main road.
The withered trees outside the window slowly transformed into skyscrapers, and the music changed from small tunes to popular songs common in the city.
After dropping Zhang Zhen and Kevin off at their residence, Jiang Lai turned the car around and drove towards Lin Zhi's apartment.
Lin Zhi's apartment wasn't big, but the community had excellent security. When she saw an unfamiliar car, she hesitated for a long time and asked around before letting her through after confirming that she was a resident.
You Yi got out of the car, switched to the driver's seat, rolled down the window, and waved to Jiang Lai and the other person: "Let's go!"
Jiang Lai stopped, waved, and watched the van drive away.
"Jiang Lai, you were a bit insensible just now."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
The two entered the elevator one after the other, pressed the floor button, and the elevator quickly went up.
"Didn't you realize that bra belonged to Xia Fanrou?"
"Huh?" Jiang Lai was almost speechless with surprise. She hadn't noticed at all, and even thought that You Yi was "vain" and had specially bought a C-cup bra.
"How so?"
Just as Lin Zhi was about to speak, the elevator doors opened. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just guessed."
Jiang Lai believed her: "I knew it was impossible. Sister Xia is straight, and You Yi's charm isn't so great that he could turn someone gay overnight."
Lin Zhi took out her key and opened the door: "You just turned me gay in one night?"
Jiang Lai followed her into the house and changed out of the slippers she had left at Lin Zhi's house: "That's different. Besides, I didn't turn you gay. Didn't you treat me like a tool back then?"
"Hmm... I wouldn't call you a tool, since I'm keeping you as a sugar daddy, aren't I?"
The conversation became increasingly strange and distorted, eventually involving digging up personal secrets.
"I didn't take anything from you."
"But you didn't want it, did you? I happened to have a script on hand at the time, and it was pretty good."
"Then why won't you give it to me? I never said I didn't want resources!"
"Really? Then I remembered it wrong."
"You, you, you!" Jiang Lai glared at Lin Zhi in exasperation, pulled her into her arms, and bit her cheek, leaving two rows of shallow teeth marks.
"pain!"
Lin Zhi frowned slightly, rubbed her face, and said with disgust, "It's all your saliva."
"Shall I lick it clean for you?"
Shut up!
The two joked around shamelessly for a while before going about their own business. Jiang Lai's phone was out of battery, but it turned on shortly after she plugged it in.
The startup animation froze for a long time, so Jiang Lai tossed it onto the bed and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. When she came back, there were five or six missed calls on her phone screen. Looking at the contact name, she saw it was Luo Heng.
Jiang Lai had a bad feeling and quickly unlocked her phone to call Luo Heng back.
Luo Heng answered quickly, as if he had been waiting for her call.
As soon as the call connected, Jiang Lai didn't even get a chance to say "halo." She just listened to Luo Heng talking non-stop in her ear. Eventually, she put the phone on speakerphone, tossed it onto the bedside table, and went to pack her clothes.
Luo Heng: "Jiang Lai, do you think he did it on purpose? Those girls were getting so close to him! And they were even shipping them!"
While folding clothes, Jiang Lai said, "I think he's just doing his job normally. The company requires him to do it, so he can't refuse, right? It turns out it really works. He hasn't even graduated yet, and he's already very popular with only a few works. I'm actually envious."
Luo Heng: "Envious? If your agent asked you to do promotional work with someone else, would you do it?"
As Luo Heng was speaking, Lin Zhi had just finished her call, walked over, leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms, and looked her up and down. Her eyes seemed to say: Tell me, do you want to or not?
Jiang Lai swallowed, looked at Lin Zhi, and picked up her phone: "Of course I don't want to, and my agent won't arrange it for me."
Lin Zhi nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Luo Heng: "I'm so envious of you. Sigh... I haven't been able to eat these past few days. I finally made it back to China. Can you help me arrange to meet him?"
Jiang Lai had promised him this before, so he couldn't refuse.
Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment: "Okay, wait for me to think of a way."
"Okay, it's settled then. My flight is tomorrow, remember to pick me up!"
"ah?"
Before she could finish speaking, the call ended. Jiang Lai stared at her phone, lost in thought.
"Ugh!! This is so annoying!" Jiang Lai crumpled the neatly folded clothes, her whole demeanor filled with irritation.
Lin Zhi paused on the keyboard, turned her head to look at the bedroom, hesitated for two seconds, shook her head, took a sip of hot coffee, and continued working.

Chapter 63
At eight o'clock at night, the city was brightly lit, with neon lights flashing.
City A Airport is the largest airport in China, and celebrities often appear here. With the end of the year approaching, celebrities have been returning to City A in recent days, making the airport much more crowded than in previous years.
Jiang Lai sat in the car, constantly checking her watch. Twenty minutes had passed since Luo Heng got off the plane; this guy was so slow.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.
Luo Heng opened the passenger door, bent down and sat down, taking off his hat: "Hey, which celebrity's flight is this today? There are so many fans outside!"
"I don't know, I haven't paid much attention."
After Luo Heng fastened his seatbelt, Jiang Lai drove the car out of the parking lot.
"You changed your car?" Luo Heng asked.
During his university years, he often hitched rides with Jiang Lai and vividly remembered what Jiang Lai's car looked like.
Jiang Lai explained, "Oh, this is my sister's car."
"Sister? You have a sister?"
"Yes." Her tone was light and cheerful, and she looked radiant with a hint of pride.
Jiang Lai drove to a restaurant in the university town. It wasn't student mealtime, so there were very few people there, mainly because they used to eat there often.
Jiang Lai parked the car, slung her bag over her shoulder, and got out.
Luo Heng thought of something and called out to Jiang Lai, "Wait a minute, I'm going to buy some grilled cold noodles over there."
"Then I'll go order first, and bring me one too."
Luo Heng didn't need to ask her what flavor she wanted, because he already knew it in his mind: sweet, sour, and spicy. Similarly, Jiang Lai went to the restaurant first to order, and she ordered all of Luo Heng's favorite dishes. The two of them had a level of understanding that was no less than that of siblings.
Ten minutes later, Luo Heng rushed in with two servings of grilled cold noodles: "Here you go."
"Thank you!"
Before the main dishes were ready, I ate some grilled cold noodles to fill my stomach. As soon as I opened the bag, the aroma of grilled cold noodles wafted out, and it tasted much better than the large plates and small portions in those high-end restaurants.
She has the life of a princess but not the attitude of one.
Jiang Lai doesn't eat cilantro, but she likes to add it to her food. She always feels that without cilantro, the food doesn't have the same aroma. However, she finds it hard to swallow cilantro, so she can only use a bamboo skewer to push it aside.
At this time, all the waitresses in the store have gone home. They only work during mealtimes and their wages are relatively low. The rest of the time, the owner and his wife run the store. The owner is responsible for cooking, and the owner's wife keeps the accounts and serves the food. The couple is very harmonious.
"Are you big stars?" the proprietress asked quietly, because there was a young couple at the next table.
Jiang Lai shook her head: "Auntie, we're not big stars, we're still students."
"Oh dear, students don't wear masks when they go out, I know that. Why don't you go over there? The visibility is poor there, and few people will notice you." The proprietress pointed to a corner next to the counter, which was indeed a good spot.
Luo Heng smiled and refused, raising his face: "Auntie, we are artists but not famous, there is no need for us to go there."
The proprietress genuinely didn't recognize Luo Heng. With so many students coming and going every day, all of them handsome and beautiful, the proprietress was getting a bit tired of seeing them and couldn't tell them apart anymore.
"Alright then." The proprietress didn't press the matter and went to the kitchen to chat with the owner.
Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, broke apart her chopsticks to pick up some food, and said, "For the first time, I'm glad I'm not famous."
Luo Heng lowered his voice and said cautiously, "You're quite popular. I've been seeing a lot of fanfiction about you on Weibo these past few days."
Jiang Lai was taken aback: "What fanfiction?"
"You and Xia Fanrou, my god, it's so exciting! Even I, who don't read yuri novels, stayed up until the middle of the night. I even read it on the plane today."
"Let me see."
I didn't mean anything by it; I just wanted to see what kind of fanfiction was being written.
Luo Heng unlocked his phone, and the pictures were all of fanfiction he had saved, some of which required flipping through the screen twice to view.
"Take a look."
Jiang Lai took the phone, and what she saw was a devastating blow.
[Jiang Lai picked up the underwear that had been thrown on the floor and looked at the naked woman on the bed with a mocking expression.]
A joke?
