Chapter 37: CH 37

Qiu Luo was completely blindsided and confused by Sang Wan Ci’s actions.

He had always thought that this face of his would open every door for him. It was only today that he realised, it’s true people would encounter a few accidents in their lives.

And it was this accident that further reinforced the idea that Sang Wan Ci was different from the rest.

In this world, there’s love at first sight, but there’s also love growing over time.

He believed that Sang Wan Ci didn’t like him now, but it was because they had only met each other for a short while and her understanding of him wasn’t deep enough to let her discover that he was beautiful inside and out.

Qiu Luo firmly believed in it.

Having thought things through, his mood became better and he smiled: “Teacher Sang is really humourous, no wonder so many people like you.”

“Not humourous.”

Sang Wan Ci still didn’t have any trace of emotion on her face.

“If I was being humourous, I would advise you not to be so strict and only look for humans.”

Qiu Luo: “……”

Can someone tell me why it’s so hard to sustain a conversation with her??

Sang Wan Ci had no interest at all in whatever expression he had.

She had said everything she needed to say, what Qiu Luo did was his own business.

But if he offended her, then he shouldn’t blame her for being merciless.

Qiu Luo wasn’t discouraged and he kept looking at her with eager eyes: “You can give people who like you a chance to prove it, what if? What if you will like me?”

Sang Wan Ci blinked and retorted: “Why don’t you first give people who don’t like you a chance?”

Qiu Luo was stunned.

Sang Wan Ci didn’t like this sort of thing.

A one-sided crush hoping the other party would give them a chance, completely not considering the other party’s feelings.

How could such an unfair chance exist in the world?

Lu Zhi Wei, who was listening behind a wall, raised an eyebrow.

【You know what’s the difference between Qiu Luo and Xiao Ying?】 She asked.

【What’s the difference?】 Lao Wu asked.

【Xiao Ying is self-aware, Qiu Luo isn’t.

【Xiao Ying wouldn’t hide his demand behind a nice-sounding excuse.

【Although that child is a little silly, but at least he knows he can’t pester and annoy others.】

Lu Zhi Wei leaned against the white wall and looked at the sky, sighing soundlessly.

Actually, she hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, she was really just passing by coincidentally.

She wanted to leave immediately, but because it was Qiu Luo, the world’s oil slick who couldn’t understand human speech, she was a little worried he would do something against Sang Wan Ci’s wishes.

So her feet stayed firmly planted on the ground.

Now, it turns out he didn’t do anything, but he was still overly confident and couldn’t understand human speech.

He couldn’t even compare to Ying Xi Ze.

Ying Xi Ze was at least a cute didi.

But Lu Zhi Wei still couldn’t figure out if Qiu Luo’s character was like this or if it was forced by the storyline.

But she at least knew how to test it now.

Like in many idol dramas, the storyline would let the second male lead obsess over the female lead.

It was as if they had blinders on, unable to see anybody else aside from the female lead.

So as long as they could let go, they would be considered saved.

It’s okay even if they couldn’t let go.

As long as they didn’t wave the banner of love to torture others, they weren’t doing anything wrong.

Anyway, being the male lead, she could only stand against the second male lead.

Obsessing too deeply was not a good thing.

What if he hurt Sang Wan Ci?

—— The Teacher Sang who remembered what she said was so cute, how could she let Teacher Sang get hurt?

Lao Wu: 【……】 Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

A certain “male lead” is really becoming more and more self-aware about protecting the female lead now……

Sang Wan Ci finished saying everything she wanted and left.

Leaving Qiu Luo standing there alone, who cares what he wanted to do.

She turned the corner and looked up, catching the “little junior sister” who was eavesdropping.

“……”

Lu Zhi Wei got a shock, her hair ornaments jangling around as she jerked her head.

Snapping back to reality, she started feeling awkward.

Oh no, she was too absorbed in her thoughts and forgot to leave, now she was caught by the person she was eavesdropping on!

Sang Wan Ci tilted her head slightly and looked at the person in front of her.

As she opened her mouth, a sudden pain came from her head as she lost her train of thought.

Lu Zhi Wei watched as Sang Wan Ci’s eyebrows knitted together suddenly and her expression turned uncomfortable. She forgot about explaining and reached out to stabilise her: “What happened, are you okay? I’ll bring you to the medical bay?”

Hearing her concerned voice, Sang Wan Ci placed a hand on Lu Zhi Wei’s forearm and shook her head: “It’s a small matter……”

Hearing voices, Qiu Luo came up to them: “What’s wrong, do you want ——”

“No need.”

Sang Wan Ci interrupted him and straightened up as her eyebrows smoothed out and her expression returned to normal as if her headache never happened.

Lu Zhi Wei was still worried about her, not daring to look away for a second.

Sang Wan Ci turned to look at her. Seeing the worry in Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes, her voice softened: “Let’s go, you still have scenes to film, we should go back and prepare.”

Lu Zhi Wei, who didn’t have a part in the next scene, blinked and quickly understood, holding onto her hand: “Mm, let’s go, I’ll help you.”

Sang Wan Ci didn’t refuse.

Qiu Luo stood there, watching the two of them walk away.

…… He could be rejected so many times in such a short period of time???

…

The two of them walked a distance.

After ensuring Qiu Luo didn’t follow them, Sang Wan Ci gripped Lu Zhi Wei’s hand tightly: “Let’s sit here for a bit.”

Seeing Sang Wan Ci’s furrowed eyebrows, Lu Zhi Wei immediately knew she was faking it just now.

She sighed, then helped her to the bench by the side.

“If you’re not feeling well, you should be good and see the doctor. Don’t tough it out, okay?

If you really can’t walk, I can ask for the phone number for the medical bay and see if they can come over?”

Sang Wan Ci shook her head, but the action was small, as if she was afraid it would make her head hurt more.

“No need, it’ll be fine soon, it’s a small issue.”

Lu Zhi Wei knew there was no use in trying to convince her, so she stopped.

Sighing again, she sat down beside Sang Wan Ci and raised her hand, helping to massage her temples to alleviate the pain.

Lu Zhi Wei controlled her strength carefully, her fingers pressed down softly in a comforting massage.

So Sang Wan Ci didn’t fight against it. She even bent down slightly so Lu Zhi Wei didn’t have to raise her arms too much.

Seeing her so obedient, Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t help but continue: “Be good, if you’re not well then you should see the doctor and not drag it out. No matter what, your health is always the priority.

“If you fell sick while filming, your dad would definitely be hurt.”

Sang Wan Ci stayed silent, looking at her quietly.

Would her father be distressed for me?

Would he? Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

He would, probably……

She no longer knew.

From the day that he requested for her to be as excellent as her mother, their relationship had become strained and distant.

Distant to the point that even though they were related by blood, she couldn’t answer such a simple question now.

If her mother was still around, then the two of them definitely wouldn’t be like this……

Lu Zhi Wei could sense a trace of desolation from the silence and quickly said: “Besides your dad, there are others, relatives and friends…… They’ll definitely feel hurt for you too!”

At this point, she was afraid she would say something wrong again so she quietly asked: “Wan Ci, you…… should have relatives that spoil you, right?”

Such an adorable child, it would be unscientific if nobody loved and spoiled her.

Besides, she was the female lead, how could nobody spoil the female lead!

“I do.”

Sang Wan Ci’s headache subsided slowly as her voice became clearer.

“My aunt.”

She had run away to film for so long, and her father hadn’t sent anybody to drag her back. She could definitely guess that Meng Lian Yu was the one playing mediator in the middle.

Meng Lian Yu had always been very supportive of her choosing what she wanted in life.

With Meng Lian Yu around, she didn’t need to worry about how things were at home, and she didn’t need to worry about her father not having company over the new year.

With Meng Lian Yu around, she just needed to work hard to become a good actress.

If this wasn’t considered spoiling her, then she didn’t know what spoiling her was.

—— Ah, there’s still an aunt!

Lu Zhi Wei sighed in relief, that’s good.

“That’s right, so even if not for yourself, for your aunt. If you fall sick, your aunt will definitely be sad.

“Do you want to see her sad?”

—— Of course not, but that’s different.

Sang Wan Ci looked down. When the pain had completely subsided, she smiled shallowly: “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

It was Lu Zhi Wei’s turn to frown: “If you know, then why are you still refusing to go to the medical bay?”

Sang Wan Ci said calmly: “Because I have my limits.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……?”

She laughed: “This kid, you’re taking me around in circles?”

Sang Wan Ci didn’t want her to continue this topic, so she changed the subject: “Why were you there just now?”

Lu Zhi Wei’s hands stilled, then she smiled awkwardly.

“If I said I was passing by coincidentally, would you believe it?”

Sang Wan Ci looked up.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t dare to make eye contact.

“Just, passing by, then I saw you two were talking.

“I wanted to leave, but I was scared he would do something to you, so I didn’t. In the end, I forgot to leave first, then got caught by you two. It’s a bit awkward huh……”

Sang Wan Ci couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes shining prettily.

Hearing it, Lu Zhi Wei’s ears started turning red as she quickly withdrew her hands, wanting to dig a hole into the ground.

God, she was embarrassing herself again in front of a kid……

“But you told Qiu Luo that he’s not in your circle of consideration just now……”

She cautiously asked.

“What is your circle of consideration?”

Please give her, this poor male lead, a clue.

She still had the mission of saving the world hanging over her head.

Sang Wan Ci’s lips parted: “I don’t know.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “?” Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

Sang Wan Ci said composedly: “I don’t have an ideal type, I was just rejecting him.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

Lu Zhi Wei: 【Okay, that’s so you.JPG】

Lu Zhi Wei said: “Since you don’t like him, it’s good that you made it clear.

“Then, will you tell me when you have one?”

Sang Wan Ci raised her right hand and rubbed her temple that had just been massaged.

Hearing this, she turned to look at Lu Zhi Wei calmly.

The more calm she was, the harder it was for Lu Zhi Wei to be calm.

After all, there was a saying called “the calm before the storm”.

She was afraid Sang Wan Ci would think she had ulterior motives, then distance herself from her.

She quickly raised her hands: “Don’t misunderstand, I just want to take a look and judge them for you! Besides, an older sister knowing a younger sister’s ideal type, it doesn’t seem…… too overboard, right?”

Sang Wan Ci looked at her quietly for a while.

Then nodded.

“Mm, I’ll tell you when I have one.”

Lu Zhi Wei’s smile became sincere in an instant: “Okay.”

Sang Wan Ci’s fingers paused after massaging her temple for a while.

She leaned towards Lu Zhi Wei.

Lu Zhi Wei watched as she suddenly stuck her head over and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Sang Wan Ci’s voice was soft, as if she was whining: “It’s comfortable when you massage, I want you to help me massage it again.

“Okay? Jiejie.”

Lu Zhi Wei’s ears started itching at being called “jiejie“.

She realised Sang Wan Ci had seemingly completely figured out how to control her.

If not then how could she so accurately get it each time!

She really was a clever little kid.

Lu Zhi Wei raised her hands in resignation, and asked curiously: “Why didn’t you spend the new year with your aunt then?”

Sang Wan Ci: “She was accompanying my dad.”

Lu Zhi Wei nodded in understanding then smiled: “Our Wan Ci is so pretty, Aunty must be a great beauty too.”

Sang Wan Ci didn’t deny it.

“Mm, she said that herself too.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “?”

…… What was going on with this aura of narcissism?

Thinking for a moment, Sang Wan Ci said: “You’ll see her in the future, if there’s a chance.”

Lu Zhi Wei nodded.

It’s fine meeting whoever, it’s not going to be Meng Lian Yu anyway.

An unknown actress wanting to meet the film empress…… Sigh, her star-chasing road had a long way to go.
