Chapter 81: CH 81

Sang Wan Ci had gotten an in-depth first-hand look at the ability of both Director Guo Hui and the scriptwriter when she was filming 《Questioning Deity Sect》.

This team was absolutely worth trusting.

Besides, like Zhang Xian Rui said, the fact that Guo Hui could ask her to work together multiple times was a sign that she did view Sang Wan Ci highly and liked her.

Adding on the fact that they had invited Lu Zhi Wei as well this time, and she had no reason to refuse.

Working on a same-sex relationship movie with her girlfriend, how could she not grab this chance to openly be intimate?

Seeing her agree so fast, Zhang Xian Rui laughed: “Why did you decide on it so fast this time?”

Sang Wan Ci was honest: “Because I feel like Zhang jie is right, and the other female lead is someone I like.”

The “like” she mentioned was romantic.

Zhang Xian Rui thought it was platonic.

Because their relationship was good, Zhang Xian Rui didn’t suspect a thing.

The friendship between girls, it was normal to be more intimate.

It was also Lu Zhi Wei’s own ability to be so liked by her artiste.

Hearing “the other female lead is someone I like”, Lu Zhi Wei immediately began to stare at her girlfriend.

She had just woken up; the moment she opened her eyes, it was all about her girlfriend……

What was a phone? She didn’t know.

She didn’t know what Sang Wan Ci had accepted either, and she didn’t know who the other female lead she liked was.

But she was curious.

It was hard not to care about her girlfriend saying she liked another female actress in front of her, she was even a little jealous.

Who had stolen her girlfriend’s heart while she wasn’t paying attention?

On the phone, Zhang Xian Rui was speaking: “So that’s settled then, I’ll get Xiao Qiu to send the script over to you in a bit.”

Sang Wan Ci held onto Lu Zhi Wei’s hand. Seeing her eyes filled with curiosity and a bit of jealousy, she couldn’t help but smile.

“It can be sent over later, today’s an off day, no rush.”

“Alright then.” Zhang Xian Rui said.

She didn’t suspect Sang Wan Ci’s words.

This child would never skive off in the past, and she would rarely say she was tired.

If she said she was tired today, then the Golden Autumn Awards ceremony last night must have really tired her out. After all, she was working until midnight the last few days.

So it would be best to let her rest well first.

“Rest well,” Zhang Xian Rui said. “Call me if there’s anything.”

Sang Wan Ci hummed in agreement.

Zhang Xian Rui hung up.

Putting down the phone, she turned her head and was immediately hugged tightly by Lu Zhi Wei.

Sang Wan Ci: “?”

Lu Zhi Wei put on an air of forcing a confession: “Miss Sang, who’s the female actress you like?”

Sang Wan Ci paused.

Her Zhi Wei…… was indeed jealous?

She kissed Lu Zhi Wei decisively: “Of course it’s you.”

Lu Zhi Wei was half in disbelief: “Mm? But you just said ‘the other female lead’.”

Sang Wan Ci hugged her back and kissed her again: “It’s also you.”

Lu Zhi Wei kissed her back subconsciously: “What, when did I have a collaboration with you that has double female leads……”

Sang Wan Ci smiled and deepened the kiss.

Their clothes rustled as she pressed herself against Lu Zhi Wei, lying on top of her.

Then she reached out a slender, pale hand, picking up Lu Zhi Wei’s phone from the side of the bed.

Lu Zhi Wei ended the kiss, lying under Sang Wan Ci, caressing her face as she said: “Miss Sang, don’t plan on distracting me with kisses.

“I’ll be lenient if you’re honest and strict if you refuse. Say it, did you accept a new show? One with double female leads?”

When Sang Wan Ci heard “strict if you refuse”, her actions paused.

She lowered her eyes to look at her lover below, amusement in her eyes while there was a trace of pitifulness in her voice: “Jiejie is going to be ‘strict’ with me?”

That expression clearly was asking “can you bear to be?”.

Lu Zhi Wei admitted failure: “I can’t bear to.”

This was her darling girlfriend!

She couldn’t even get enough of spoiling her and kissing her, how could she bear to punish her.

Sang Wan Ci’s eyebrows smoothed out as she handed Lu Zhi Wei the phone: “Zhi Wei, ask your manager yourself.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “?”

She understood immediately, shock and joy showing on her face: “It’s really me? We’re going to work together again?!”

Sang Wan Ci lay on her side, hugging her and smiling.

“Mm, it’s you. We’re working together again, it’s a double female lead this time.

“Movie with a same-sex relationship.”

Same-sex relationship……

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes shone.

She actually could act in a same-sex movie with her girlfriend, and Sang Wan Ci’s eye for shows had never been bad —— This was a good thing!

She quickly went to confirm with Wen Yao.

Sang Wan Ci was clinging to her again, hugging her waist and lying behind her.

Once she unlocked her phone, she immediately saw Wen Yao had left her a message on WeChat.

[Xiao Yao]: Zhi Wei jie, are you still resting? Call me when you wake up, I have good news!

She turned to look at Sang Wan Ci.

Sang Wan Ci raised an eyebrow lightly, encouraging her to call Wen Yao.

The call was made.

Anticipation. Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com 香港独立

“Zhi Wei jie!”

Wen Yao’s happy voice came from the phone.

“Director Guo Hui has invited you to work together again!”

“It’s a movie on a same-sex relationship! The scriptwriter is the same one from 《Questioning Deity Sect》, so the quality of the script will be good!

“Oh oh, that’s right, the other female lead is Sang Wan Ci.

“Wow, if this goes through, you guys will have worked together for a few times……

“How about it, consider it? Or I’ll send the script over and you can consider it after taking a look?”

Lu Zhi Wei was over the moon.

Guo Hui actually invited her to work together?

Having a second chance to work together with a famous director, wasn’t it a sign that the other person viewed her acting skills highly!

Wen Yao’s voice was still coming from the phone.

“Oh oh right, and, after you won the award, there are quite a few productions looking for you, it’s so nice to be able to choose what you want to work on!

“Let me know when you have time, I’ll bring the scripts over for you to take a look?”

Hearing it, Lu Zhi Wei was surprised and happy.

She had received invitations to shows, and not just one?

So this was how it felt like to be noticed……

“No need to come over,” she said softly. “I’ll accept Director Guo Hui’s invitation. I’ll look at the rest tomorrow when I go over to find you.”

Wen Yao didn’t understand: “You’re not free now?”

Lu Zhi Wei said gently: “I want to rest a bit more today and be a bit more clear-headed, I’m afraid I’m dreaming.”

Wen Yao laughed and started dishing out chicken soup again: “You’re definitely not dreaming, this is all the result of your hard work. There will definitely be returns as long as you put in effort!”

“Then I won’t disturb you, rest well, see you tomorrow, bye bye~”

“Bye bye.”

After she ended the call and exited the call log, she left it on her home screen.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t touch her phone.

From when she was a transparent entity until today, her effort put in wasn’t lesser than anybody’s.

That’s why she could win the Best Supporting Actress Award with her first show.

That’s why she was picked by Liu Zhao and affirmed by Guo Hui, with a second opportunity to work together.

But she had never thought of all of this before.

Because she had never thought about it, because it was once seemed so impossible, so she kept feeling like she was dreaming when she obtained it.

At this moment, she heard the person behind her say: “Is the person on your wallpaper your girlfriend?”

The familiar voice grounded her to reality.

She came back to her senses, looking at her wallpaper.

She had just changed it.

It was the photo of Sang Wan Ci that she had posted on Weibo, with that red gown.

At the bottom, you could even see the watermark: @Sang Wan Ci V

Sang Wan Ci was very happy that Lu Zhi Wei changed her phone’s wallpaper to a photo of her.

Being able to see her once she unlocked her phone, Lu Zhi Wei must like her a lot.

Just like how she liked Lu Zhi Wei.

Lu Zhi Wei smiled: “Yes, this is my girlfriend, pretty right?”

Sang Wan Ci chuckled: “Why does your photo of your girlfriend have a watermark? I have a clean photo, do you want it?”

Lu Zhi Wei immediately started teasing: “Mm? How could you have a non-watermarked photo of my girlfriend? Say it, are you secretly coveting my girlfriend too!”

“No.”

Sang Wan Ci kissed her neck.

“I’m coveting you.”

Lu Zhi Wei leaned over, kissing Sang Wan Ci’s lips.

After a few seconds, she quickly hit the brakes.

“No, we can’t, hurry and wash up so we can eat, or we won’t have strength!”

While eating, Lu Zhi Wei secretly searched for an answer to her question: Is it possible in water?

Was it her that couldn’t do it, or was it the environment?

The search told her it was the latter.

Looking at the answer, she also learnt many small tips.

There were many things to prepare for beforehand.

But the atmosphere was too good last night, they didn’t prepare anything at all and just went with the flow.

No, no.

They had to prepare for next time.

She had to give her girlfriend the best experience!

And she only just realised that if all the preparation was done, it actually wouldn’t hurt.

In simpler terms, her skills sucked.

She was filled with guilt as she looked at her phone: “……”

She had made Sang Wan Ci hurt three times last night…… It was enough to say her skills were horrible.

Sang Wan Ci watched as Lu Zhi Wei was biting on fish jerky and suddenly sat there looking at her phone, unmoving. She picked up a cup and walked behind her, looking down as she asked: “Zhi Wei, what are you looking at?”

Her gaze swept over the screen.

And she saw that answer: [If you prepared well, it won’t hurt. It’ll hurt because your skills suck OvO]

Sang Wan Ci raised an eyebrow.

Lu Zhi Wei got a shock, her phone almost slipping out of her hand.

Sang Wan Ci put the cup down by her side and smiled ambiguously: “Teacher Lu, pay attention when you’re eating.”

Lu Zhi Wei immediately kept her phone and finished the piece of dried fish, pulling Sang Wan Ci down to sit beside her: “Teacher Sang should eat with me.”

Sang Wan Ci reached out a hand to stroke her cheek, gently saying: “Zhi Wei already did very well. Take it slow, there’s no rush.”

There were so many first times in life, why force yourself to always do everything perfectly the first time?

Even a genius had moments of failure.

Lu Zhi Wei was moved.

Clearly Sang Wan Ci was the one who had suffered yesterday, but in the end, she was the one comforting her today……

What kind of gentle angel is she?

What qualifications did she have to be liked by someone so good?

Thinking about it, Lu Zhi Wei hugged Sang Wan Ci, determined to work harder.

Even if it wasn’t for herself, it was for Sang Wan Ci.

She had to practice the violin properly when she got home, to become a female lead that would be able to be a good match for Sang Wan Ci.

Of course, she also had to practice her lousy skills……

At the same time, she didn’t forget to check in on the system.

【Lao Wu, how goes the search for the invader?】

【Not much,】 Lao Wu didn’t hide it from her. 【The other person is very cautious, they haven’t made a move lately so it’s not easy to find them.】

It was like an ant had crawled into a house. In such a big space, the ant was exceedingly small and hard to catch.

Most importantly, how did it avoid the system’s checks to infiltrate this world?

Lao Wu thought about it, then patted his head.

He was overlooking things.

This was a new world with a new system, it wasn’t too much to say that this was an unfinished prototype.

With a world that hadn’t been finished perfectly, that was probably how the person invaded.

It might be that the other person was very familiar with their system.

The only thing that was uncertain was whether it was the Space Time Administration, a rival system or even……

He didn’t want to think about it.

【Don’t worry, I’ll find the invader as fast as I can,】 Lao Wu promised again. 【Before that, just concentrate on your relationship and acting and become famous.】

Lu Zhi Wei furrowed her eyebrows lightly.

She did want to do it well, but if Sang Wan Ci wasn’t well, how could she have the mood to do things well?

Sang Wan Ci was suffering, but she couldn’t do anything at all……

Lao Wu comforted her: 【Don’t blame yourself, this isn’t your fault. You weren’t the one who brought the invader to attack the world, don’t always put the blame on yourself.

【Besides, you can at least help Sang Wan Ci massage her temples and feel a little better when she’s having her headaches, isn’t that helping?】

Lu Zhi Wei felt that he made a bit of sense.

That’s right, at least she could help to alleviate Sang Wan Ci’s headaches by a bit, that was true.

A little bit was better than nothing.

She thanked Lao Wu.

In her memory, Lao Wu had comforted her quite a number of times.

It could be said that Lao Wu really treated her like his own daughter.

Lao Wu waved his hand, although she couldn’t see it.

【No need for thanks, I’ll be happy if you complete the missions quickly and let the world be at peace.

【Alright, I’m going to continue fixing stuff, you two have fun.】

His pitiful, transparent daughter had finally started dating, why would he be a lightbulb?

He could no longer date, so he might as well catch the invader and let his daughter concentrate on dating.

【Alright,】 Lu Zhi Wei smiled slightly. 【Distinguished administrator, please take your time and walk slowly.】

After talking to Lao Wu, she turned around and hugged Sang Wan Ci tightly.

The two of them pressed their bodies together even closer, as if they were going to merge into one.

“Wan Ci,” she stuck to Sang Wan Ci’s neck. “If your head hurts, you must tell me. You don’t have to hide it from me, okay?”

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci stroked her long hair.

“Okay.”

“My Wan Ci must be well, must be healthy and happy.”

“I will, I still have to spoil our Teacher Lu for the rest of my life and grow old with Teacher Lu.”

Hearing her say that, Lu Zhi Wei’s heart filled with joy.

Their love for each other never stopped at the present, there was an even longer future ahead of them.

She happily smiled: “Wan Ci, I really like you. I like you so much I want to pluck the stars and moon for you.”

Sang Wan Ci replied: “I already have the stars and moon.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Mm?”

Sang Wan Ci hugged her tighter: “You’re my stars and moon.”

My Zhi Wei, you’ll shine like moonlight in my world.

You’re my radiant spring.

I love you, as long as I live.

Lu Zhi Wei sighed that she really was a flirt, but she couldn’t deny that she liked hearing it.

She really liked hearing it.

Previously, she had never been loved and never been able to experience love.

So she liked other people telling her that they liked her, that they loved her. She liked other people letting her know that she could also be cherished and that she wasn’t alone.

Sang Wan Ci did that.

“You’re so good.”

Lu Zhi Wei hugged her, comfortably exhaling a long sigh.

“I’ll definitely treat such a good Teacher Sang well!

“Tell me if you want anything in the future, I’ll definitely give it to you, I’ll give you everything.”

She definitely had to take care of her flirty princess well!

As she said that, she suddenly felt a pair of hands brush against her back.

The feeling of them landing on her skin was cool and real.

Sang Wan Ci’s lips pressed gently against Lu Zhi Wei’s ear, a warm breath brushing past: “You can give it to me now too.”

Lu Zhi Wei shivered, her body tensing up and bumping Sang Wan Ci’s arms.

The two of them pressed closer together, as if by a magnetic force.

Lu Zhi Wei grabbed those hands, her ears red.

“Eat properly.” She said.

Sang Wan Ci blinked at her innocently.

Lu Zhi Wei struggled: “Don’t go hungry, your physical strength can’t keep up……”

Sang Wan Ci’s lips curled as she smiled calmly and sat up straight, touching Lu Zhi Wei’s face: “Good girl.”

Lu Zhi Wei suddenly felt like she had been teased.

But since her girlfriend liked it, then it should be proof that her skills…… probably weren’t terrible?

At least, not both skills were terrible?

She suddenly had a bit more confidence.

The day off work was pretty much slept away in the morning, and Lu Zhi Wei had to leave at night, so there wasn’t much time to spend together.

The two of them were clinging to each other, unwilling to part.

Aside from doing what she had to do, Sang Wan Ci became the epitome of clinginess, following Lu Zhi Wei everywhere as if she was afraid Lu Zhi Wei would go missing.

Seeing it, Lu Zhi Wei wanted to bring this baby Sang back home.

In the evening, Xiao Qiu came over with the script, thus making the two of them a bit more restrained.

It was the first time Lu Zhi Wei had seen a whole bunch of scripts put together in a pile.

To her, it was something new. To Sang Wan Ci, it was a common sight.

She had exceptionally good looks and acting skills, along with a large fanbase and a natural disposition to being on the hot search. She was basically the darling of the production crews.

Xiao Qiu said these were the scripts that had been saved recently, they were just waiting to bring them over for Sang Wan Ci to take a look.

As an outsider, Lu Zhi Wei got up and walked away.

Being a Sheng Yue artiste, what right did she have to sit there and look at the affairs of Fenghe Entertainment?

She went to the study room.

In the living room, Xiao Qiu told Sang Wan Ci: “In a few days, Director Li is going to hold the celebratory feast for 《Phoenix》. Zhang jie said you won’t be in a production crew for those days, so she can arrange to block off the days and asked me to ask if you want to attend.”

Sang Wan Ci nodded: “Since I have nothing on, then let’s go.”

She flipped through two scripts and spoke: “Xiao Qiu, send Zhi Wei back later, I’m worried about her going back alone.”

Xiao Qiu bit into an apple and flashed an “OK” sign.

She snuck a glance in the direction of the study and asked: “Xiao Sang, did Zhi Wei jie sleep here last night?”

Sang Wan Ci looked through the script, her expression unchanging: “Mm.”

Xiao Qiu was suddenly enlightened: “Oh~ Seems like Zhi Wei jie doesn’t have a boyfriend then.”

Sang Wan Ci looked up calmly: “Mm?”

Xiao Qiu analysed it rationally: “If Zhi Wei jie had a boyfriend, she would definitely celebrate with him after winning an award, right?”

Sang Wan Ci looked at her for a moment, then looked down and smiled.

“Yes.”

The analysis was right, the only error was in the sex of the partner.

Xiao Qiu propped up her face and exclaimed curiously: “I wonder who will be able to marry Zhi Wei jie in the future, that person will definitely be well-fed…… I’m so envious.”

Sang Wan Ci smiled.

—— That person is right in front of you.

…

Meng household.

Study on the second floor.

Meng Lian Yu sat with her legs crossed on the sofa, calmly drinking tea.

She looked at the man who was standing by the window and put down her cup, knocking on the table: “Meng Lang Cheng, I already sent the video of your daughter winning the award to you, have you seen it?

Meng Lang Cheng didn’t even turn to look at her.

“Hmph, why must I watch it? Did she win a piano award?”

Meng Lian Yu: “Oh, is only your piano award worth something? Even sister-in-law didn’t say that.”

Meng Lang Cheng: “Hmph.”

Meng Lian Yu: “Hah.”

Meng Lang Cheng: “?”

Meng Lian Yu calmly brushed her hair back: “It’s a bit tiring to constantly hear you hmph, so I changed the sound. How is it, doesn’t it sound much fresher?”

“……”

Meng Lang Cheng clenched his fists: “Meng Lian Yu, do you want to go out yourself or should I throw you out?”

Meng Lian Yu said in disdain: “What a joke, I got fat recently, you still think you can lift me up to throw me out?”

Meng Lang Cheng started rolling up his sleeves, preparing to show her.

“Looks like this house can no longer keep me,” Meng Lian Yu got up quickly, her face serious. “I’m leaving, see you at dinner.”

The door to the study opened and closed.

Meng Lang Cheng was alone again.

The tablet that had the video of his daughter receiving the trophy was on his table, silent and waiting for him to open it.

He was struggling internally.

He was embarrassed to watch it, but he wanted to.

In his heart, he cared more than anybody else about whether his daughter was doing well.

That was his only child, the treasure that his wife had suffered through ten months of pregnancy for, how could he bear to let her suffer outside?

When he returned to his senses, he was already standing in front of the table, a hand outstretched and touching the tablet.

Forget it, let’s just watch it since his annoying sister wasn’t around.

He opened the video and pressed the play button.

But at this moment, the door opened again.

Meng Lian Yu had returned to take the cup of unfinished tea.

In the end, she saw her brother holding the tablet the moment she opened the door.

Her voice came from the tablet: “Let us congratulate the winner for this year’s Golden Autumn Awards’ Best Actress Award —— Sang Wan Ci!”

Brother and sister locked eyes.

In this moment, there was an unprecedented awkwardness in the air.

Meng Lang Cheng used his strong psyche to turn off the video and put down the tablet, pretending to be calm: “What are you doing here again?”

Meng Lian Yu: “I’m here to take my unfinished tea, don’t waste it, didn’t you say that?”

Meng Lang Cheng: “……”

Meng Lian Yu: “……”

Meng Lang Cheng: “……”

Meng Lian Yu: “Pffftttt.”

Meng Lian Yu couldn’t hold back her laugh.

“Director Meng, you’re already so old, how could you still secretly watch your daughter’s video?

“If you want to watch it, watch it openly!

“I’m telling you, your daughter even filmed a variety show a while back, I’ll send the link to you later, you can understand your daughter better through it.”

Meng Lang Cheng’s ears were red.

Meng Lian Yu was thrown out of the room.

“Knock before you enter!”

After that, Meng Lang Cheng slammed the door shut.

Meng Lian Yu’s hair fluttered in the wind as she stood there and sipped on her tea.

Tsk, proud old man.

Soon, it was time for 《Phoenix》’s celebratory dinner.

This was also the day that Lu Zhi Wei picked the winner for her prize drawing on Weibo.

Everybody was watching in anticipation to see who would win 《Wu San》 and Wang Hou Xiong’s guidebooks.

As the person who had added on Wang Hou Xiong’s guidebooks, Ying Xi Ze was also waiting in anticipation.

Let him see, who would be the lucky fellow to win this big “study hard for me” gift bag.

The prize drawing was coincidentally a few minutes before the dinner was supposed to start.

Sang Wan Ci came slightly late because of work, so she didn’t check her phone. In the end, she saw Ying Xi Ze sitting there with a bitter smile on his face once she reached the restaurant.

He was standing right by Lu Zhi Wei, it would be hard not to spot him.

After greeting the director and producer, Sang Wan Ci walked to Lu Zhi Wei’s side and asked: “What’s wrong with him?”

Lu Zhi Wei looked at Ying Xi Ze compassionately, then turned to tell Sang Wan Ci: “He won a prize.”

Sang Wan Ci: “?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “That 《Wu San》 of mine.”

Sang Wan Ci: “……?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Oh, and the Wang Hou Xiong books he added on.”

Sang Wan Ci: “……”

—— What a boomerang.
