Jiang Lai's heart softened when the person cried. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, ruffled the woman's hair, and said softly, "Let me touch your fur, it won't scare you."
Lin Zhi burst into laughter through her tears, scolding him with a smile through her tears: "You're so childish!"
"Okay, okay, I was childish. Can you go sit outside for a while, sister? I'll call you when the food is ready."
"I'm not leaving, I want to learn."
"Okay, then you stay here, and I'll teach you."
"Um."
Jiang Lai poured her a glass of water to calm her down, and then efficiently dealt with the mess Lin Zhi had created.
Later, Jiang Lai would stop every step and ask Lin Zhi if there was anything she didn't understand. Lin Zhi would shake her head to indicate that there was nothing she didn't understand. She was very smart and could learn quickly. Later, she could even cook, but she still needed Jiang Lai's help.
She wasn't stupid or unable to learn; rather, she had no one to teach her from childhood, nor did she have time to learn. During the early stages of her business, she had to squeeze in time even for meals and rest.
After an hour of fussing, a vegetarian dish and a meat dish were served, their aromas irresistible.
This is the first time since we moved that this room has felt lively and welcoming.
After breaking up with Cheng Anan, home was no longer a home for Lin Zhi; it was just a place to rest and sleep, no different from a hotel room.
For a moment, she even hoped that Kevin hadn't discovered Jiang Lai, but that was just an absurd thought. Even if Jiang Lai didn't sign with Zhengsheng, she would sign with another company. In the end, she was just an actress, not the Jiang Lai that belonged to her.
Seeing Lin Zhi lost in thought, Jiang Lai picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in the small dish in front of her: "Eat your food properly and don't think about anything else. If I find out you faint again, I'll tie you to my side and watch you eat and sleep every day!"
This person speaks in a domineering manner, but is also quite endearing.
"You're binding me to the production team too?"
"It's not impossible."
"Eat your food."
Jiang Lai chuckled twice and then shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.
In the entertainment industry, it's common for sugar daddies to keep celebrities as mistresses, and such cases are so frequent that everyone is used to it. Lin Zhi had heard of it, but she didn't know the details. She didn't know how the keeping was done, but she did know that the actresses and actors who were kept by sugar daddies had access to great resources, and how much money they were paid behind the scenes was another matter.
Lin Zhi glanced at Jiang Lai and felt sorry for him. He didn't have any good resources or money, and he lost both money and people. He was reduced to a free driver and a free nanny. Lin Zhi felt indebted and couldn't even eat.
After dinner, the two washed up one after the other. Lin Zhi seemed to have tacitly agreed that Jiang Lai would stay overnight. Although Jiang Lai didn't say anything, she still took the initiative to find Jiang Lai a new toothbrush and towel.
After not seeing Jiang Lai for several months, Lin Zhi had to admit that she missed her a little, and even more so, she wanted to do *that* kind of thing.
A seed slowly took root and sprouted in Lin Zhi's heart. If she had never done it, she might not have wanted to, but once she did, she couldn't stop.
She lay in bed, seriously fiddling with her new phone, but her thoughts were already drifting away into outer space.
She looked at Jiang Lai, who was replying to someone's message, and the corners of her mouth never turned down.
She felt a pang of sadness. Normally, this person would have come over and kissed her by now.
Lin Zhi felt that she had lost her charm. Indeed, she stayed up late every night reading documents and drinking and socializing. There were many young and beautiful people in that film crew, unlike herself, who was about to turn thirty and whose youth was gone.
Lin Zhi hesitated for a long time before finally calling out the person's name: "Jiang Lai".
Upon hearing this, the person immediately turned off their phone and replied, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhi gripped her phone tightly, her gaze darting around: "What kind of girl do you like?"
Jiang Lai tossed her hair and said without hesitation, "I don't like girls?"
She said she didn't like girls, but Lin Zhi thought she liked men.
"Are you straight now?"
Jiang Lai was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, sister, you're so cute."
Lin Zhi was a little angry: "Is it funny?"
Jiang Lai wiped away the tears of laughter and said seriously, "It's funny. The question you asked is funny. I said I don't like girls, but I didn't say I don't like women."
Lin Zhi was confused by her, what was this about girls and women.
"What's the meaning?"
"What do you mean..." Jiang Lai's lips curled up slightly, her bright eyes flashing with a cunning light, just like a fox.
Before Lin Zhi could react, the other person had already approached, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pressed his lips to hers.
Lin Zhi's body went limp, and she swallowed all her questions, involuntarily hooking her arms around Jiang Lai's neck to meet the intoxicating kiss.
At that moment, Lin Zhi discovered something even more intoxicating than alcohol: Jiang Lai's kiss.

Chapter 33
"ha..."
Lin Zhi was panting heavily; the person in front of her became blurry and unreal.
She felt a warm breeze brush against her ear, and the man gently bit her earlobe, causing her to shudder and her cheeks to flush.
Jiang Lai said deliberately, "Sister, your kissing skills are terrible."
Lin Zhi glared at her, but could only lean limply against Jiang Lai's chest: "Shut up."
"It's okay, sister, I'll teach you."
After saying that, without giving Lin Zhi a moment to catch her breath, she pressed her lips down again, but this time she didn't land on Lin Zhi's lips, but on Lin Zhi's neck, which was Lin Zhi's most sensitive spot, and she went soft with just one kiss.
"Jiang Lai..."
Jiang Lai didn't reply. Her lips roamed over her neck, playfully sliding behind her ear and kissing the tip of her ear. She deliberately chose to kiss sensitive spots. If it were just a kiss, it would be fine, but Jiang Lai kissed and nibbled at the same time.
Lin Zhi tried to push her away, but couldn't because she was strong: "Jiang Lai... I feel unwell."
After hearing this, Jiang Lai held back and stopped kissing her: "I'm sorry, I was being tactless. Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I would have done it."
Why not do it?
"I'd like to, but I'm afraid you'll faint in bed."
Lin Zhi glanced at her and said reproachfully, "Why would you faint?"
Jiang Lai lay on Lin Zhi's lap, reaching out to play with Lin Zhi's long hair: "Of course, you said you couldn't do it last time, what if you faint this time?"
This person was used to saying things that made people blush. Lin Zhi ignored her, lifted her head, and got out of bed.
Jiang Lai turned over, lay face down on the bed, and asked her, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the restroom."
Why are you going to the restroom?
Do you really have to dig into the details?
Jiang Lai suddenly realized, and waved her hand with a grin: "Go ahead, I'll satisfy you tomorrow."
Lin Zhi ignored her and went straight to the bathroom. After wiping herself clean, she turned on the tap, wanting to wash her face and clear her head. When she looked up, she met her reflection in the mirror.
His clothes were half-open, and there were bite marks on his collarbone, the side of his neck, and his chest.
Lin Zhi lowered her eyes, and after a while, she came to her senses. She lowered her head and buttoned up her pajamas. Even though she buttoned them all the way up, the red marks on her neck were still visible. Lin Zhi was a little worried and could only cover them up with a high-necked undershirt.
When Lin Zhi returned to her room, the culprit was already asleep. She was quite something; she had just done something bad and then went to sleep without considering other people's feelings at all.
Lin Zhi was angry but couldn't bear to wake her up, so she could only gently pinch her cheek to vent her frustration.
The next morning, Lin Zhi woke up in Jiang Lai's arms. She clearly remembered that there was some distance between them before she fell asleep. How did she end up in someone else's arms overnight? She carefully pulled away, thinking that she hadn't woken Jiang Lai. But no sooner had she left than Jiang Lai woke up.
Jiang Lai got up and stretched, sat for a while to catch her breath, and then groggily pulled her phone out from under her pillow to reply to new messages.
A WeChat message notification came through, but Jiang Lai didn't receive anything. Turning her head, she saw that Lin Zhi's iPad was lit up. Curious, she leaned over to take a look and saw that the person who sent the message had been sending messages for several days in a row.
[Mr. Lin, I heard you're sick.]
[I heard Kevin gave you leave, and Xiao An and the others want to come see you.]
[Xiao An and the others were detained by the dance teacher, and they asked me to come and see you.]
Jiang Lai didn't know Lin Zhi's iPad password, but she remembered the person's name after just one glance: Fang Wei, which sounded familiar.
Jiang Lai was very annoyed by this person's way of speaking. Although he seemed sensible and polite, it actually felt like he was giving a notification.
You don't need to refuse me; I'm just letting you know I'm coming.
Jiang Lai instinctively sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She felt a bit resistant to this person she had never met and didn't even know who he was, but despite this resistantness, she still wanted to meet him.
She sent a WeChat message to Nan Moxi to ask if she knew Fang Wei. As it turned out, Nan Moxi was incredibly knowledgeable and knew the answer. Jiang Lai then realized that Fang Wei was the only short-haired girl in the group photo that Lin Zhi had shown her that day.
The drowsiness vanished instantly. Jiang Lai put on her slippers and walked out of the house: "Sister, can I borrow your cosmetics?"
Lin Zhi cupped her hands and splashed water on her face. After washing her face, she took two face towels and wiped her face: "You can use these, I'm just afraid our shades are different."
Jiang Lai went into the bathroom and stood next to Lin Zhi. She turned on the tap, filled a disposable plastic cup with water, and held the toothbrush in front of Lin Zhi. The latter immediately understood and squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush.
"Thank you, sister. Our skin tones are similar, and our shades are almost the same."
"Oh... okay, what's for breakfast?"
"Are there any other options besides bread?"
Lin Zhi was taken aback, then answered truthfully, "No."
"Wait for me, I'll make you a sandwich." After saying that, Jiang Lai put the toothbrush in her mouth.
Lin Zhi originally planned to go to work, but Kevin insisted on giving her a day off, saying it would be paid leave for her and he wouldn't let her come to work no matter what. Lin Zhi couldn't refuse and had to agree. Fortunately, she had finished most of her work and could enjoy the day off without any burden.
The business hall was about to open. Lin Zhi thought Jiang Lai would go with her, but the girl refused. Her makeup was very meticulous, and even a close look revealed no flaws.
After changing her clothes, Lin Zhi walked over to Jiang Lai and asked, "Do you have a date today?"
