Jiang Lai looked up, making what she thought was a playful expression that actually made her cramp up: "Do you think I'm being playful?"
"No, you're horrible. Stop making that disgusting face. Give me back my CP."
Jiang Lai glanced at him, then looked down and continued looking. Her expression then became like a multicolored light...
"Damn it!" Jiang Lai exclaimed, nearly dropping Luo Heng's newly bought phone on the ground.
Her soft, boneless hand slid up Jiang Lai's back, teasing her as she whispered in her ear, "You didn't even glance at me on stage today~"
Jiang Lai couldn't resist her sister's charm. She pounced on her, her little tiger teeth landing on the woman's fair neck, biting down as if in revenge. Hearing the woman's coquettish moan, she stuck out her tongue and licked her "work" with satisfaction.
"You were the one who ignored me first."
[Xia Fanrou lied to Jiang Lai, luring her to see her one last time. In the darkness, the two embraced tightly, and the usually strong woman shed tears for the first time: "Lai Lai, please don't go. I want to stay with you."]
Jiang Lai got goosebumps all over and quickly handed the phone back to Luo Heng: "What is this?!"
She licked her upper teeth; those slightly protruding little points couldn't be considered canine teeth.
"It was that roadshow with you and Actress Xia, the last one. You two really didn't interact much, which was different from the previous shows."
"Ah...you mean that? I'm sick, I'm not feeling well."
"Just because of that?" Luo Heng looked surprised.
"Otherwise what?"
"Your fans are all speculating whether you two are trying to avoid suspicion."
"There's nothing between us, so why should we avoid each other? We even went camping just a few days ago."
"Stop!" Luo Heng called out urgently, opening his memo to jot down what he had just said: "Jiang Lai and Actress Xia are on the grass..."
Before he could finish speaking, a pancake was stuffed into Luo Heng's mouth, and the latter looked aggrieved.
Jiang Lai: "Just eat your food!"
Luo Heng swallowed the pancake and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, your CP name is Jiangyou Chaofan."
Jiang Lai: ......
Jiang Lai never knew that her sisterhood with Xia Fanrou could be interpreted in this way. They were truly innocent. Didn't anyone realize that she and Lin Zhi had feelings for each other more?
In a leaked photo from a previous variety show, Lin Zhi was right next to her. Jiang Lai has kept that photo on her phone for a long time, and the more she looks at it, the more she seems to have a wife-like appearance. Haven't her fans noticed?
They really kept it a secret.
Luo Heng suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Actually, I think you and your boss are a better match."
Jiang Lai's eyes lit up; finally, someone who understood.
"How so?"
"I feel that, but without fanfiction featuring the two of you, I still prefer reading the written version, hehe."
Hey, you big dummy.
After finishing the meal, Luo Heng explained "Jiangyou fried rice" to her, and only at the end did he ask about the important matter. However, this matter was not convenient to discuss in public, so the two of them talked about it in the car after paying the bill.
Jiang Lai: "I called him, and he was free. I lied to him and said I wanted to invite him to see my movie."
Luo Heng, his earlier energy gone, looked like a wilted eggplant: "Is this appropriate? What if we start arguing in public?"
“I told him to wait for me at school. I’ll pick him up. When you get there, just lock the car door and we’ll take care of it in the car.”
For some reason, I find your behavior a bit sleazy...
Jiang Lai didn't say anything, but in her heart she had already kicked Luo Heng away: You think I'm perverted? When you read my fanfiction, you don't think you're perverted!
What's even more outrageous is that they actually ship random couples!
If Lin Zhi hadn't told her to keep it a secret, she would have thrown the photo of herself and Lin Zhi in Luo Heng's face and said, "Look! This is the real one! The master of the palace!"
Pshaw, I don't have a harem, I only love my older sister.
Just as the car pulled out of an intersection, Jiang Lai suddenly saw a message from Lin Zhi asking when she would be back.
"Luo Heng, I'll leave you ahead of me. You can take a taxi home yourself."
"???"
Luo Heng didn't react in time. By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing next to the trash can, watching the car drive away in front of him.
Luo Heng (bewildered): "What's going on?"
When the car arrived at the apartment building, Jiang Lai quickly climbed the stairs, stepped into the elevator, and waited for the elevator doors to open again before taking out the key Lin Zhi had given her to unlock the door.
The room was pitch black, and the air smelled of burnt food. Jiang Lai frowned and groped in the dark for the light switch.
"Lai Lai!"
Lin Zhi called softly and reached out from the darkness. Jiang Lai was pulled and turned around by the force. Before she could react, she found herself in a soft, fragrant body in her arms.
In the darkness, Lin Zhi's bright eyes were like the moon in the sky. Jiang Lai felt that the scene was familiar, but she couldn't remember why.
"Sister, what are you doing? Is everything really alright in the kitchen? I think I smell something..."
"Shhh.."
A cool index finger pressed against her lips, and Jiang Lai gasped for breath, not daring to breathe loudly.
The strap on Lin Zhi's shoulder slipped down, revealing her face.
Jiang Lai admitted that Lin Zhi was indeed tempting, but she felt uneasy and had a feeling that this person had ill intentions.
The main point is... that burnt smell is really awful.
"Lai Lai".
With her eyes glistening with tears, her alluring gaze, seemingly weeping yet not quite, truly resembled a seductive version of Lin Daiyu.
"Sister, please don't call me that, I can't help it..."
She put her arm around Jiang Lai's shoulder: "Lai Lai, please don't go. I want to stay with you."
Grass! (A type of plant)
Jiang Lai finally remembered why it felt familiar. It was the fanfiction she had read today, with the exact same scene, except that Lin Zhi had added her own performance to the fanfiction.
Wow, no wonder she's a senior student, and no wonder she's number one in acting class.
Jiang Lai casually put her arm around his waist and pulled him tightly into her arms. The latter was stunned for a moment, not expecting the camera to switch and the actor to take the stage.
She gazed at her tenderly, even her eyebrows seemed to be telling a story: "Sister, of course I won't leave you."
Let's put on an act! Let's see who can't keep up with whom!
Lin Zhi: "Really?"
Jiang Lai nodded, kissed the corner of Lin Zhi's lips, and lovingly rubbed the small mole: "Of course, if I leave you, I can't imagine what kind of torment the fruits and vegetables in the kitchen will suffer."
Lin Zhi's face immediately darkened, a feeling that could still be felt even in the pitch-black surroundings.
She pushed Jiang Lai away, breaking free from her "role": "I burned the steak."
Jiang Lai turned on the light, smiled, and kissed Lin Zhi: "It's okay, I'll take care of it. Haven't you eaten yet?"
Lin Zhi snorted and sat down on the sofa: "I've been waiting for you, but you didn't tell me you were eating out."
Jiang Lai washed her hands and went to the kitchen to clean up the mess, apologizing as she washed the pots and pans: "I was wrong, please forgive me, sister."
"I forgive you."
Jiang Lai poked her head out from the kitchen: "What about the fanfiction?"
Lin Zhi had already shifted her attention, but she brought it back to it.
She was bored while waiting, so she started browsing Weibo. Since she had been following Jiang Lai, Weibo pushed a video clip of her and Xia Fanrou to her. Then she followed the video to the super topic and read ten chapters of fanfiction.
It can be described as... a deeply torturous love story, heartbreaking and soul-wrenching, where lovers cannot be together!
Lin Zhi felt jealous, but after thinking about Xia Fanrou and You Yi's ambiguous relationship, she felt less jealous. Then, for some reason, she wanted to have a bit of a wicked laugh, which led to the scene just now.
A showdown between two industry giants from A-shares – witnessing it is a real treat.
"I'll let you go for now."
"Thank you, sister. I'll find someone to write one for us later. Let's start with a hundred chapters for you to enjoy, the more erotic the better, okay?"
With veins throbbing on her forehead, Lin Zhi grabbed a cushion and threw it at Jiang Lai, but the man was agile and not only missed but caught it.
Lin Zhi: "Get lost!"
Jiang Lai grinned and said, "Yes, sir!"

Chapter 64
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the company generously gave its employees two extra days off on top of the seven-day holiday. They don't have a habit of forcing artists to work because the boss is too lazy; if they want to give them time off, they give them all off at once.
The day before Lunar New Year's Eve, Jiang Lai packed her bags, preparing to return to the villa to spend the New Year with her parents. Lin Zhi naturally also wanted to go home, just like in previous years, except that she was going to spend time with her mother instead of her father.
Lin Feng's surgery was successful and did not require a second bone marrow extraction. After the surgery, Lin's father was taken home to recuperate, and as expected, he even had difficulty getting out of bed.
Lin Zhi didn't feel sorry for him; she just thought he deserved it. If her father had donated when he was young and stopped trying to take advantage of her, things would be much better now, and Lin Feng and her father wouldn't have to suffer like this.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, a heavy snow fell in City A. Pulling back the curtains, one was greeted by a silvery-white landscape.
Jiang Lai hurriedly put on her coat and went downstairs. The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen on the first floor. Hearing the sound of her coming downstairs, Jiang's father came out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand, wearing a floral apron.
"Lai Lai, where are you going? Breakfast is ready!"
