Chapter 54: CH 54

T/N: We hit the bonus chapter goal again! It’ll be published tomorrow~

Sang Wan Ci never thought she would fall for a woman.

More accurately, she never thought she would really fall for anyone.

From the moment she stepped into the industry, she had decided to focus on her career and leave everything else for the future.

Only, she had forgotten. Feelings had never been able to follow a plan.

She couldn’t have expected a lot of incidents.

She didn’t expect to meet Lu Zhi Wei. She didn’t expect that there was someone like this in the world, like the wind, like water and like the sun, warming everybody silently and gently.

She was so fascinating and mesmerising.

So it’s fine that she fell for Lu Zhi Wei. It’s fine that she liked the same sex. It all didn’t matter.

Because it was Lu Zhi Wei.

She was worthy of anybody loving her. She was worth Sang Wan Ci’s every heartbeat.

Her arms tightened as she hugged Lu Zhi Wei with even more strength.

As if Lu Zhi Wei was a treasure that she was afraid would be snatched away.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t notice anything wrong.

Because in her mind, Sang Wan Ci was a child who would whine and call her with such an ambiguous “jiejie“.

She brushed her hand softly against Sang Wan Ci’s hair, not saying anything as she continued arranging the food, letting Sang Wan Ci hug her.

She sliced open a red cherry tomato and placed it in the middle of the fresh, green vegetables.

It was okay.

Her plating skills were pretty average, they couldn’t be called “very good looking. It could only be called “passable”.

She asked casually: “How is it?”

Sang Wan Ci continued holding on to her: “Mm, it looks good.”

It could be said that Sang Wan Ci was being very polite.

Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t hold back a laugh: “Thanks for being so polite, Teacher Sang.”

Sang Wan Ci’s breath brushed against the lobe of Lu Zhi Wei’s ear: “Thanks for cooking for me, Teacher Lu.”

Lu Zhi Wei turned her head to look at her: “It’s no problem.”

Sang Wan Ci’s gaze skimmed over her lips, then went back up to her eyes: “It’s no problem too.”

A sudden copycat.

Lu Zhi Wei shook her head helplessly.

She wanted to wash her hands, but Sang Wan Ci shuffled along with her to the sink, refusing to let go as if she was hugging a tree.

Lu Zhi Wei finally realised something was wrong.

Sang Wan Ci was exceptionally clingy today.

—— Exceptionally clingy to her.

She turned off the tap: “What’s wrong? Did you get bullied outside so you’re not in a good mood?”

She was worried Sang Wan Ci would keep her negative emotions in and refuse to tell her about it.

Just like those kids, tightly hugging an adult when they got home after suffering an injustice, their faces wrinkled with tears clouding their vision.

But the only difference between Sang Wan Ci and those children was probably that she couldn’t express her emotions.

“No,” Sang Wan Ci replied determinedly. “Nobody dares to bully me.”

Even that narcissistic man Qiu Luo had been subdued by her using one hand.

Lu Zhi Wei was even more confused: “Then why are you so clingy today?”

Sang Wan Ci reached out and took a tissue, lowering her eyes as she helped Lu Zhi Wei wipe off each water droplet from her fingers.

“Because I feel that you’re good.

“I like jiejie.”

A lot. Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

Very much.

Like you to the point that I want to keep you by my side forever, only looking at me, only shining down on me, only loving me.

Lu Zhi Wei thought she was being grateful for Lu Zhi Wei cooking.

Got it, it was a kid acting childish.

She smiled: “I like our Teacher Sang too.”

Sang Wan Ci had said she liked her before.

Not just once.

So to her, this didn’t have anything to misunderstand.

Her heart was pure and simple, Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t keep thinking too much about it.

Lu Zhi Wei: How terrible is it, it’s not healthy!

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci knew Lu Zhi Wei didn’t like her.

In the end, Lu Zhi Wei only treated her as a junior, as a meimei.

But she didn’t want to be Lu Zhi Wei’s meimei.

She wanted to be Lu Zhi Wei’s one and only. She wanted to become the person who could make Lu Zhi Wei’s heart beat faster.

Lu Zhi Wei wasn’t psychic, so she didn’t know what Sang Wan Ci was thinking.

She patted her hand: “Be good, help me bring the dishes out, it’s time for dinner.

“After we eat and digest our food, you should take a bath and sleep. Don’t you still have scenes to film tomorrow morning? Your rest is precious.”

But hearing Lu Zhi Wei’s concern for her, Sang Wan Ci was still very happy.

Caring for her means she was in Lu Zhi Wei’s heart.

Maybe she didn’t hold that much of her heart, and maybe she wasn’t in such an important position.

But that didn’t matter. An anxious person wouldn’t be able to eat hot tofu[1]. They still had a lot of time to interact with each other, take it slow.

The dishes were all ready.

Sitting on the carpet, Lu Zhi Wei pushed the food closer to Sang Wan Ci: “Our Teacher Sang has worked hard today too. Eat more and replenish your strength. Oh, that’s right, how did…… the scene between you and Qiu Luo go, he didn’t pester you, did he?”

She actually wanted to ask about the kiss scene, but she was too embarrassed to directly express that she cared about the matter.

All of them were actors, what was a single kiss scene?

What right did she have to care about it?

Let’s just hope the oil slick didn’t cause any trouble……

Sang Wan Ci helped Lu Zhi Wei take a piece of meat, then propped her chin up on a hand and looked at her: “No, he didn’t dare.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “?”

Aside from illegal things, did this self-confident oil slick not dare to do anything??

Good fellow, this was too miraculous!

“Why didn’t he dare? What did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything,” Sang Wan Ci said calmly. “I just had a friendly exchange with him before we started shooting.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Friendly exchange?”

Sang Wan Ci: “Mm. I shook his hand, he said it hurt, then I let go.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

At that moment, she suddenly remembered Sang Wan Ci using a single hand to break her fall by holding her face.

That arm strength…… was definitely not fake.

She rubbed the back of her neck, her eyebrows knitting together.

Thinking about it, her neck still hurt slightly……

Needless to say, she already understood what kind of “friendly” this “friendly exchange” was.

She truly was a female lead who didn’t follow the script. She was forever doing unexpected things, never letting Lu Zhi Wei down.

Seeing her actions, Sang Wan Ci moved closer and asked: “What’s wrong with your neck, is it uncomfortable?”

Her pretty face suddenly was enlargened in Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes.

Lu Zhi Wei paused, even the motion of blinking became stiff.

She thought about the kiss again.

At that time, they had been this close.

No, even closer and more intimate than this……

“Nothing,” She came back to her senses and held Sang Wan Ci’s shoulder, patting it lightly as she smiled in embarrassment. “I just thought of when you held my face away.”

Sang Wan Ci: “…… Sorry.”

She had acted out of instinct at that moment.

Plus, she wasn’t familiar with Lu Zhi Wei then so her body naturally was on guard.

It was different now. She wouldn’t reject Lu Zhi Wei from approaching. It was more likely that she would wish for her to be closer.

“It won’t happen in the future.” She promised warmly.

From today onwards, no matter what happened, Sang Wan Ci would always catch Lu Zhi Wei, like pulling the stars into her embrace.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t take it to heart: “It’s okay, you didn’t mean it anyway.”

It wasn’t their fault that they weren’t familiar with each other then?

Who could expect that in the blink of an eye, two unfamiliar people would be eating at the same table.

Sang Wan Ci moved back to her original spot, and thought about what Xiao Qiu said: “You’re leaving tomorrow? To do what?”

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you,” Lu Zhi Wei recalled. “My manager has an audition, so I’m going to try for it. I’m leaving tomorrow and I’ll be back the following day.”

So it was an audition……

Sang Wan Ci nodded: “What drama?”

“It’s a modern idol drama.”

“What role?”

“Mm…… The female lead, I want to try for it.”

She watched Sang Wan Ci’s expression, only to realise it didn’t change.

She was suddenly curious: “Wan Ci, don’t…… you think that it’s unsuitable for me to try for the female lead?”

“Why would it be unsuitable?” Sang Wan Ci asked.

“Because I’m still not qualified enough now?” Lu Zhi Wei supported her chin as she looked deep in thought.

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci put down her chopsticks and held onto her hand, looking deeply into her eyes.

“Zhi Wei, in my heart, you’ve already been more than qualified to stand in the female lead’s role. You just lack an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, just try your best to grab it.

“Don’t think that you’re dreaming, or that you’re not qualified enough. You’re not worse than anybody else, you’re more outstanding than you think.”

Lu Zhi Wei would encourage her.

She would encourage Lu Zhi Wei too, Sang Wan Ci wanted to let Lu Zhi Wei know how she was in her eyes.

“Our Zhi Wei not only has to be optimistic, but she has to be confident too.

“Because your existence is like a sun that can’t be ignored.”

This was the most touching encouragement Lu Zhi Wei had ever heard.

She paused, forgetting her answer.

So I…… can become the sun too?

Lao Wu said she wasn’t worse than anybody else.

Sang Wan Ci also said she wasn’t worse than anybody else.

They both felt she was good, that she could do it. They always believed in her……

She took a deep breath, the light in her eyes becoming determined.

“Okay, I’ll work hard, I definitely can do it!”

Even if she couldn’t do it, even if she failed this time, it didn’t matter.

There was always next time, and the following time.

The small, transparent person was no longer a small, transparent person who couldn’t see a future!

Seeing her spirits lifted, Sang Wan Ci relaxed and stroked Lu Zhi Wei’s cheek: “That’s right.”

Then she started eating.

Lu Zhi Wei blinked woodenly.

The skin that had been touched by Sang Wan Ci seemed to still have traces of Sang Wan Ci’s warmth.

There was a trace of heat, almost as if it would sink in through her skin and travel to her heart, leaving a mark on her heart that belonged solely to Sang Wan Ci.

She felt like…… she had been flirted with again.

She quickly turned to look at the television.

Being flirted with unknowingly, it was the most lethal!

This wasn’t a female lead who didn’t follow the script, this was a lethal female lead!

At that moment, the television was showing an idol drama.

The male lead was on his way to apply for a job.

The female lead said she had always been a lucky person, so she would share some luck with him. Then, she tip-toed and kissed him.

Then the male lead got the ejob.

It was pretty sweet.

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

Is it not enough that I’m eating, I still have to be force fed dog food?

Sang Wan Ci’s gaze flickered between Lu Zhi Wei and the television.

Then, she continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Because Sang Wan Ci still had scenes to film in the morning, she had to rest early. Therefore, Lu Zhi Wei had pretty much followed Sang Wan Ci’s sleeping schedule.

This way, she wouldn’t disturb her.

The curtains were drawn and the lights were turned off.

The two of them were on the bed, with a dim lamp left as the sole light source.

Thinking about the audition, Lu Zhi Wei found it a little hard to sleep.

Worried that Sang Wan Ci had already fallen asleep, she tried to move as silently as possible.

When she was getting ready to turn around for the third time, the person beside her asked: “Can’t sleep?”

Lu Zhi Wei jumped in shock: “You haven’t slept yet?”

Sang Wan Ci replied: “I’m not that tired.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Oh……”

Sang Wan Ci asked: “Do you want to talk about it?”

Lu Zhi Wei nodded: “Okay.”

Sang Wan Ci turned on the bedside lamp.

The warm, yellow light was dispersed by the intricate lampshade, looking like drops of rain falling silently.

She returned to lie next to Lu Zhi Wei, looking at her: “Why can’t you sleep?”

Lu Zhi Wei looked at the ceiling: “Mm…… Thinking about the audition, I’m a bit nervous. After all, I’ve never tried being a female lead.”

She couldn’t help but smile: “Don’t mention the female lead, I’ve never even been the female supporting lead.”

All the roles that had names, she had never been close to them. She had only had experience with small, unknown roles.

In this area, the situation had changed considerably after obtaining the male protagonist halo.

At least now she didn’t have to play some unknown roles, just roles that kept getting killed off……

Now that there was a chance to fight for the lead role, she was still nervous even though she had the male protagonist halo supporting her.

After all, this would be her first time auditioning for the role of the female lead.

“Don’t worry, relax,” Sang Wan Ci’s fingers gently shifted away Lu Zhi Wei’s hair from her face. “You can do it.”

Lu Zhi Wei sighed.

She still couldn’t relax.

Seeing it, Sang Wan Ci suddenly asked: “Then do you want me to give you some of my luck?”

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Wei turned to look at her.

Sang Wan Ci calmly said: “My luck’s pretty good too.”

Thinking about it, Lu Zhi Wei realised it was true.

From debuting until now, Sang Wan Ci had acted as the lead in every drama.

Maybe this was the result of the female protagonist halo, or maybe it was because she had the skills and good luck.

Anyway, if she could have it, why not!

“Okay, give me some.” She grabbed Sang Wan Ci’s hand and rubbed it hard. “Okay, I got it, thank you Teacher Sang.”

Sang Wan Ci: “?”

Who said it was given like that?

Wasn’t she watching the drama when she was eating just now?

“You can’t get my luck like that.” Sang Wan Ci said seriously.

Lu Zhi Wei looked lost: “…… Then how?”

Sang Wan Ci said righteously: “According to the drama, I need to kiss you.”

Drama?

Lu Zhi Wei suddenly recalled the drama they were watching while they ate.

Sang Wan Ci couldn’t be learning from that drama, right?

God, how was she so serious!

A person who acted in dramas actually believed the nonsense in dramas?

Where did this cute child come from?

But thinking about it, Lu Zhi Wei still moved her face closer.

The mission required her to be more intimate with Sang Wan Ci.

And besides, having something was better than not having it. Being kissed wouldn’t kill her!

She pointed at her cheek: “Then, please go ahead, Teacher Sang.”

Then she smiled: “If I get the role, it’s Teacher Sang’s effort. I’ll make you dumplings for the whole of next year.”

Sang Wan Ci looked at the area she pointed at: “……”

They weren’t on the same frequency.

At this time, shouldn’t she point at her mouth?

She felt like Lu Zhi Wei should film a few more idol dramas to understand the cliches and developments so she wasn’t so principled, or it would impede their relationship from progressing.

Although it was a bit of a pity, but Sang Wan Ci still leaned over.

A gentle, soft kiss landed on Lu Zhi Wei’s cheek.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t have time to remove her finger, so her fingertip accidentally brushed against those soft, mesmerising lips.

Her heart followed along, beating messily.

Then, she felt something on her waist.

When she came back to her senses, Sang Wan Ci had already lied down and hugged her around the waist, burying her face into the crook of Lu Zhi Wei’s neck.

The action was incredibly intimate, she had already made her the closest person.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t think there was anything wrong with the hug.

Because Sang Wan Ci had hugged her before and even said she liked her during the new year, so she only took this as a meimei acting coquettishly towards her.

After pausing for a moment, her hand moved as she stroked Sang Wan Ci’s hair.

She could feel Sang Wan Ci’s breaths gently brushing against her skin.

It was a little itchy and a little ambiguous.

“Wan Ci, it’s itchy……” She moved her shoulder slightly.

She originally wanted to let Sang Wan Ci adjust her position, not for her to move away.

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci indeed adjusted her position.

—— Directly lying on top of her.

Not only did she lie on top of Lu Zhi Wei, she even stuck her face fully against Lu Zhi Wei’s neck.

Then, she slowly parted her lips and blew out.

At the same time, the hand on Lu Zhi Wei’s waist started to move.

“Jiejie, I’ll help you alleviate your nervousness.” Sang Wan Ci said.

Lu Zhi Wei’s guard went up immediately, but it was too late.

“Wait —— Hahaha……

“Don’t play around, Wan Ci, don’t, don’t, don’t, it’s itchy! Itchy hahaha……”

The whole room was filled with her laughter.

She laughed until her tears were flowing, then in the end, all she could do was helplessly call out: “Sang Wan Ci!”

Although she called out her full name, but it was in a tone that was begging for mercy.

She wasn’t nervous anymore, but she was itching.

She could only beg for Teacher Sang to let her waist and neck off.

It was the first time Sang Wan Ci heard Lu Zhi Wei call her full name, and she stopped moving.

Raising her head, she made eye contact with the other.

The corners of Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes were sparkling with unshed tears, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She looked pitiful, like Sang Wan Ci had been bullying her.

In this moment, Sang Wan Ci wanted to kiss Lu Zhi Wei’s eyebrows and lips more than ever.

But she didn’t.

She raised her fingers, gently wiping away Lu Zhi Wei’s tears.

The action was as gentle as a breeze.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Underneath Sang Wan Ci, Lu Zhi Wei looked up at her, unmoving.

She looked at the beautiful eyebrows of the person on top of her, as her throat suddenly became dry.

Even the air was filled with the scent of seduction.

Then, Lu Zhi Wei saw Sang Wan Ci lean down.

Her lips pressed against Lu Zhi Wei’s forehead, carrying with it the most secret love and the most genuine wish.

“I wish everything will go well for you. Goodnight, jiejie.”

Sang Wan Ci turned off the lamp and turned around to hug her again, drifting off to sleep.

“Goodnight……”

She replied belatedly.

In the darkness, her face had started to turn red.

—— How was this kid so flirtatious?!

Lu Zhi Wei had already informed Guo Hui that she had to leave the production set for a day and a half, and she would hurry back before her scenes were due to be shot.

She packed the winter wear that she had brought along, since she could bring it home when Wen Yao came to fetch her.

This way, when she finished filming and was going to go home, her luggage would be lighter.

When Wen Yao came, that was when she finally found out that Lu Zhi Wei would continue to stay at Sang Wan Ci’s room.

Wen Yao was a bit surprised: “Zhi Wei jie, is your relationship with Sang Wan Ci so good?”

Lu Zhi Wei reminded her to watch her steps, then said: “We’re surprisingly fated.”

She didn’t expect the elegant, upright female lead to become this little child who would hug her to sleep and call her “jiejie“.

Hearing that, Wen Yao was elated: “That’s good, one more friend equals one more road.”

No matter what, having a friend was always better than having an enemy.

Besides, Sang Wan Ci’s popularity was so much more than Lu Zhi Wei’s, there might come a time when Lu Zhi Wei might need Sang Wan Ci’s help.

Lu Zhi Wei nodded, acknowledging her words.

Then, she continued looking silently out the window.

Wen Yao stopped at a red light and patted Lu Zhi Wei’s shoulder: “Work hard for tomorrow’s audition. It’s good enough as long as you put in the effort. Don’t be too upset if you don’t get chosen, it’s all very normal.”

【Don’t worry,】 Lao Wu suddenly popped out. 【You’ll definitely get chosen.】

If she wasn’t chosen, then what was the use of their protagonist halo?!

【Lu Zhi Wei, prepare to walk the flower road[2]!】

Lao Wu raised his big flag as a mommy fan and a career fan.

Hearing it, Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t hold back a chuckle.

She turned to look at Wen Yao, speaking solemnly: “Don’t worry, I know. We’ll leave it all up to fate.”

Wen Yao: “Mm.”

Night fell quickly.

Lu Zhi Wei laid down on her bed, looking around her room, then at the empty space beside her.

A feeling of unease washed over her.

It seemed like…… she was no longer used to living alone.

…

Sang Wan Ci only wrapped up filming at 4am.

Looking at the time, she realised it was already the day of Lu Zhi Wei’s audition.

Counting the hours, she hadn’t seen Lu Zhi Wei for almost a full day too.

She suddenly started missing Lu Zhi Wei.

Once she realised her feelings, she always wanted to be able to see Lu Zhi Wei at any time of the day.

It was an involuntary feeling, unable to be controlled.

She opened the chat with Lu Zhi Wei.

[Sang Wan Ci]: Good luck with your audition, come back early.

Thinking about it, she started typing again.

[Sang Wan Ci]: Come back after you’re rested, don’t work yourself too hard.

[Sang Wan Ci]: Be careful on the roads.

… Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

Lu Zhi Wei had woken up early.

Her first reaction was to reach for her phone and check the time. Once she picked it up, she saw that Sang Wan Ci had actually sent her messages at 4 in the morning.

Could it be that she had filmed the entire night?

[Lu Zhi Wei]: You filmed overnight?

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Rest well

[Lu Zhi Wei]: I got it, I’ll come back early

She crawled out of bed and washed up, having her breakfast then going for a jog.

Once the time came, Wen Yao came to fetch her to the audition.

It was held in a hotel in the city centre.

There were a lot of applicants.

Most of them were unfamiliar faces to Lu Zhi Wei.

Everybody was standing apart from each other, nobody knew anybody else and they didn’t strike up conversations.

It was Lu Zhi Wei’s turn.

She inhaled deeply, then walked into the audition room.

The director, Liu Zhao, was sitting there with an unhappy face. Upon seeing her, his eyes suddenly held a trace of anger.

He didn’t even wait for her to introduce herself, directly asking his assistant to pass her a violin.

“Hold it for me to see.”

Lu Zhi Wei followed his instructions.

Liu Zhao asked her to act out a few more basic requests.

Lu Zhi Wei did them all perfectly.

After watching it, Liu Zhao was incredibly satisfied, as if he was looking at an excellent student.

He wanted to call her name, but realised he didn’t remember it, so he asked embarrassedly: “What’s your name?”

The other person beside him awkwardly lowered their voice and reminded him: “Director Liu, you didn’t even let her introduce herself……”

“Oh oh, right,” Liu Zhao’s eyes were shining with anticipation. “Then introduce yourself now, remember to leave your manager’s contact before you leave.”

Seeing his reaction, Lu Zhi Wei suddenly saw a ray of hope.

She had never been so filled with hope before.

The audition went smoothly, beyond expectations.

Until she got into the front seat of the car, Lu Zhi Wei didn’t feel like it was real.

It was a main lead…… She could also be a main lead?

Seeing her in a daze, Wen Yao immediately fed her more chicken soup.

She practically poured it straight down her head, filling her up.

“As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely have results!

“Of course, the results might be a bit slow, so you might need to be patient.

“But you have to believe in yourself, you’re very good!”

Wen Yao said agitatedly.

“Okay, okay, I know.” Lu Zhi Wei smiled helplessly. She thought about it, then said, “let’s go to the supermarket, I need to buy some stuff.”

Wen Yao agreed.

Picking up her phone, Lu Zhi Wei logged into her official account.

Then she tapped into “Qiao Qiao Ya”‘s account out of habit.

Her page had more Amway content.

From the 《Phoenix》 official trailer.

And there were a bunch of new comments.

@I also have a green jade sword!: It’s too pretty, sister, did you draw this?

@The me today is too cute: Boss, do you take commissions? Do you take commissions, boss!

@gww give me yin yang!: I’m here to reserve my spot as a fan, what if I get dragged into the fanbase by Lu Zhi Wei when the actual show comes out?

Reading these, Lu Zhi Wei’s smile grew deeper and deeper.

She opened a direct message with Qiao Qiao, seriously sending out a message.

[Thank you for liking me. I’ll continue working hard, thank you]

… Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

Sang Wan Ci got a day to rest after filming her scenes overnight.

After eating breakfast, she skipped lunch and slept all the way until the late afternoon.

When she woke up, Lu Zhi Wei had already returned and she was trying to quietly tie on her apron.

Once Lu Zhi Wei managed to get the apron tied securely, someone hugged her from behind.

“You’re back.” A raspy, half-awake voice floated from behind her, it was a little attractive.

“You’re awake? Have you eaten?”

“I had breakfast……”

“Only breakfast? What time is it now, it’s almost time for dinner. Eat something else in the meantime first, I’ll go make dumplings for you now, okay?”

“Okay……”

Sang Wan Ci let go of her reluctantly, sitting on the sofa and opening a pack of biscuits.

Turning her head, she saw that Lu Zhi Wei’s phone was right by her side.

The screen was still lit up, showing Lu Zhi Wei’s conversation with her fan “Qiao Qiao Ya”.

Sang Wan Ci looked at it casually.

Qiao Qiao was praising Lu Zhi Wei’s eye expressions as Xiao He was incredible, even from the trailer.

She also said she would always, always support her.

Lu Zhi Wei replied with a very polite phrase of thanks.

And just at that moment, Qiao Qiao sent a new message.

[Qiao Qiao Ya]: I saw Ying Xi Ze’s Weibo post, did you send him that hat?

[Qiao Qiao Ya]: It might be a bit of an invasion of privacy, but I’m really curious

[Qiao Qiao Ya]: Jie, do you…… like him?

Sang Wan Ci: “?”

Like who??

Lu Zhi Wei was making the dough and both her hands were covered in flour.

Turning her head, she saw Sang Wan Ci holding her phone and biscuits, standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

“Your fan is asking if you like Ying Xi Ze.” Sang Wan Ci didn’t beat around the bush.

Lu Zhi Wei’s hands paused as she looked up in confusion: “?”

Her brain was in a mess.

Who said she liked Ying Xi Ze?

Who did her fan say she liked???

“Zhi Wei,” Sang Wan Ci looked at her, expression unchanging with a vaguely dangerous tone of voice. “Do you like Ying Xi Ze?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

Why did she feel like if she did say she liked him, Ying Xi Ze wouldn’t be able to live past today???

[1] 心急吃不了热豆腐 – This is a saying/story that in your haste to eat hot, freshly made tofu, you’ll end up ruining it by being so impatient and not controlling the fire/timing correctly. Basically means that you need to be patient and go step by step carefully in order not to fail.

[2] Similar to walking the diamond road, walking the flower road is basically wishing your idol has a smooth, successful career ahead of them.
