Liang Shi: "?"
"Prettier than you?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu couldn't hide her smile and nodded frantically: "She's the kind of beauty that's particularly angular, even more striking than Lu Jiayi."
Liang Shi: "?"
I have a bad feeling.
"Did you add her on WeChat?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu: "...I'm sorry, maybe next time."
Xu Qingzhu blushed when she said she was embarrassed. Liang Shi stared at her in astonishment, and after a moment, said quietly, "Guess who I'm with?"
Xu Qingzhu, having met Lu Jiayi's fiancée and been captivated by her charm, asked upon hearing this, "With whom?"
Liang Shi turned the screen around: "Your family's spokesperson."
Yang Shuyan was looking at her phone when she heard this. She turned her head and waved to the camera. Xu Qingzhu also called out, "Sister Yan."
"Hmm," Yang Shuyan responded.
Xu Qingzhu's reaction was not as strong as when Lu Jiayi's fiancée was mentioned earlier.
Liang Shi asked, "Do you have a bit of a crush on her?"
"Who?" Xu Qingzhu asked.
Liang Shi said in a mournful tone, "Lu Jiayi's fiancée."
“She has a name,” Xu Qingzhu said. “It’s Fu You, the You of ‘a rare beauty.’”
The admiration was palpable.
Liang Shi: "...You really like her."
Xu Qingzhu nodded: "Yes, you'll like it too."
"It's enough that I like you," Liang Shi said. "I don't have such a big heart that I like everyone."
"No." Xu Qingzhu winked at the screen. "I like a lot of people, Sister Yan, Xixi, Dr. Zhao, Lu Jiayi, but I only love you."
Liang Shi: "..."
I just can't get angry for no reason.
She gave a soft snort: "You have so many people you like."
"Of course." Xu Qingzhu lay down, showing her her profile. "Everyone is so nice, what's wrong with me liking someone? Don't you like it?"
Liang Shi's voice was muffled, "What I call appreciation."
“Really, if you met Fu You, you would admire her too.” Xu Qingzhu was still recommending her. “She made me roast duck for dinner tonight and even winked at me. If I didn’t know she was an Omega, I would really be smitten.”
Liang Shi: "..."
They're getting more and more outrageous.
“That has nothing to do with whether she’s an omega or not; she’s Lu Jiayi’s fiancée,” Liang Shi said.
Xu Qingzhu shook her head helplessly: "I don't know why, but Lu Jiayi and I have really similar tastes."
Liang Shi: "..."
Yes, that's right.
You two are a match made in heaven.
Liang Shi sighed helplessly, "You're such a womanizer."
Xu Qingzhu chuckled: "What? Jealous?"
Liang Shi pinched his ear and responded somewhat embarrassedly, "Mm."
Lying on the other bed, Yang Shuyan took out her earphones, put them on, and then made a video call to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying, who was applying a face mask and planning to watch a show, answered the phone: "What?"
His tone was perfunctory and nonchalant.
"What are you doing?" Yang Shuyan asked.
Zhao Ying: "?"
"Didn't we just finish it the day before yesterday?" Zhao Ying said, "I'm injured, I can't do it."
Yang Shuyan: "...Is that all there is between us?"
Zhao Ying looked surprised: "Otherwise what? Miss Yang, you know I only desire your body."
Yang Shuyan: "...Are you here to visit the set?"
Zhao Ying was even more surprised: "Please, you're just recording a variety show. We don't have any marketing needs lately, so it's better to keep our distance."
Yang Shuyan: "..."
Seeing that she didn't look well, Zhao Ying asked politely, "What's wrong? What do you want to see me about?"
Yang Shuyan: "...I just had a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."
Zhao Ying knew who it was in a flash, and laughed, "It's legal, what? You want one too? Didn't your dad tell you to go on a blind date?"
Yang Shuyan: "..."
"What will you do if I go on a blind date?" Yang Shuyan asked. "Marriage?"
Zhao Ying was taken aback: "How could that be? I'll focus on my career. While you're getting married and having a baby, I'll film a few more movies and surpass you in terms of achievements, and from then on, I'll have Yang Shuyan completely overshadowed."
Yang Shuyan: "?"
Yang Shuyan hung up the phone in a huff. Zhao Ying texted her: [What? You hung up on me? Are you crazy?]
Yang Shuyan: [I miss you.]
Zhao Ying: [? You want me dead?]
Yang Shuyan: [I really want to strangle you.]
Zhao Ying: [...Look at you, you even want to abuse me.]
Yang Shuyan: [We're not even married, so how can this be considered domestic violence?]
Zhao Ying: [Is that abusing a casual sex partner?]
Yang Shuyan: [...How about making it a permanent position?]
Zhao Ying: [?]
"Yang Shuyan retracted a message."
Chapter 171 Plot + Transition
The next day, before they even got up, the production team sent them task cards.
Liang Shi is the type of person who doesn't like to stay in bed, but Yang Shuyan in the next bed was sleeping soundly, so she lay in bed and played on her phone for a while, afraid of disturbing Yang Shuyan.
I kept hearing noises outside, so I got up to check.
The task card was slipped under the door: [Arrive at Room 21 by 7:30 AM. This will determine whether you get breakfast. Please note: Your clothing must include elements of traditional Chinese style.]
The production team did remind Liang Shi about clothing incorporating traditional Chinese elements, so he prepared in advance.
But it was already 7:20, and Yang Shuyan still hadn't woken up.
Liang Shi had no choice but to bite the bullet and go call Yang Shuyan.
"Sister Yan," Liang Shi called softly, half-squatting beside her bed.
Yang Shuyan frowned slightly, turned over, pulled the blanket over her head, and continued to sleep.
"Sister Yan, it's time to get up and do your mission," Liang Shi called out again.
Yang Shuyan then kicked off the blanket, still keeping her eyes closed, raised her arm to cover her eyes, and kicked her feet twice, looking very impatient.
"What mission?" Yang Shuyan's voice was a little hoarse.
Liang Shi: "Breakfast task."
Yang Shuyan sat up. Liang Shi thought she was moved by the breakfast, but she asked, puzzled, "Eating breakfast at this hour?"
Liang Shi nodded, looking completely bewildered.
Yang Shuyan lay down again: "I don't eat breakfast."
Liang Shi: "..."
Yang Shuyan stayed up very late last night, it seems she was playing video games.
When Liang Shi went to sleep, he saw that her phone screen was still lit up, but she didn't make any noise and didn't disturb Liang Shi's rest. Liang Shi told her and then went to sleep.
Liang Shi went to sleep after midnight, much later than her usual bedtime.
Unfortunately, our conversation with Xu Qingzhu went overtime.
Yang Shuyan looked like she must have stayed up very late, but she still forced herself to get up and record the show.
However, her skin was still in great condition despite staying up all night. She got up, washed her face with cold water, tied her hair up casually, and took out clothes from her suitcase to change. The whole process took no more than five minutes.
Liang Shi, still holding a face cream, called out to her, "Aren't you going to put on some foundation?"
Yang Shuyan shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, she yawned: "Didn't you want to have breakfast? Let's go."
Liang Shi: "..."
She really is good-looking and can do whatever she wants.
Liang Shi simply put on a basic outfit and tied her hair into a ponytail, and she looked just as good as Yang Shuyan when they walked together.
Each has its own beauty.
When they arrived, only Liang Xinran was there.
She wore a very youthful and energetic makeup look, which was quite exquisite. She was sitting there slowly eating her breakfast.
