The camera cut to the door as the cameraman spoke.
Lu Shiyuan was also in the frame.
Jiang Tang was speechless.
The comments filled the screen.
[Hahahaha! Sugarâs expression is so funny!] [Oh no, will that disgusting killjoy get revenge on our Ginger?]
âIâm going out for a bit.â Lin Shanchu stood up.
âGood luck, Big Sister. Iâve been voting for you.â Jiang Tang was going to leave soon, so she said goodbye in advance.
âThank you.â Lin Shanchu couldnât help but pat Jiang Tang on the head. Jiang Tang happily touched her head and watched Lin Shanchu leave.
âAre you here to see me or Lin Shanchu?â Yun Wu snorted coldly.
âIâll treat you to a big meal once you leave this place,â Jiang Tang said with a smile.
âThatâs more like it,â Yun Wu replied.
The production crew arranged a room without cameras for Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan.
Lin Shanchu leaned against the wall and glanced lazily at him from the corner of her eye.
âHave you found a way to deal with me?â
The last time Lu Shiyuan left the production crew, he had said some harsh words.
[Donât think that I canât do anything to you just because youâre hiding in this production crew!]
âLin Shanchu, must you really talk to me like this?â Lu Shiyuan looked at her with a complicated expression. His tone was a little gentler than usual.
Lin Shanchu looked down for a moment.
âDo you want me to speak to you in this tone?â Her voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes were as gentle as a lamb.
Lu Shiyuan looked at her. He was dazed for a moment.
âHahaha! â
Lin Shanchu suddenly laughed out loud before she ridiculed him. âIn your dreams!â
Lu Shiyuan suddenly came back to his senses.
âYou donât have to go to Nan Mu if you want to shoot a product placement ad,â he said while clenching his jaw in order to tolerate Lin Shanchu. âIâll arrange it for you.â
âNan Mu is my boss. Itâs natural for me to look for him.â Lin Shanchu did not even look at him.
The reason why Lu Shiyuanâs attitude toward her had changed so much was because of what had happened in the cafeteria earlier.
The fact that she had an allergic reaction to mangoes had stirred up a tiny bit of his guilt.
Therefore, he had to do something to calm his guilt.
When this sense of guilt was appeased, he would return to his old ways.
The nature of a demon would never change.
He would never turn over a new leaf too.
Destruction was his only fate.
âIâm your fiancé!â Lu Shiyuan replied.
Lin Shanchu retorted, âBut soon, you wonât be.â
âYouâ¦â Lu Shiyuan recalled what had happened in the cafeteria. âYou want to cancel our engagement for Huo Xunzhou?â
Lu Shiyuan had always been like this.
No matter what happened, he would always think that others were the problematic ones.
âYup.â Huo Xunzhou had spoken up for her in front of the live broadcast camera, so she had already been dragged into it. There was no need for her to avoid it.
âAm I not as good as that cripple to you?â Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he reached out to strangle her.
Lin Shanchu also quickly raised her hand.
Her slender and soft hand brushed across his arm. A sharp pain flared from that arm immediately.
Fresh blood dripped onto the ground.
Bloodstains soon formed.
Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. âYouâ¦â
Lin Shanchu slowly wiped the blade in her hand while speaking in a contemptuous tone. âYou arenât even comparable to one of Huo Xunzhouâs fingers.â
The door was pushed open at that moment.
Huo Xunzhou and two more people were standing at the door.
Nan Mu put a hand to his lips, trying to hold back his laughter.
Li MO, who was standing behind Huo Xunzhou, had a stiff expression on his face as he blinked rapidly.
As for Huo Xunzhou himself, his expression was still so indifferent that no one could tell what he was feeling.
They seemed to have heard everything.
Lin Shanchu quickly put away the blade and pretended to be calm as she shot them a smile.
As long as she wasnât embarrassedâ¦
They would be the embarrassed ones!
Nan Muâs face was cramping up from trying to hold back his laughter.
âAhem! President Lu, what happened to your arm?â
The surprise in Nan Muâs voice was genuine.
When they came in just now, Lin Shanchu had put away her blade very quickly, so Nan Mu did not see it.
Lu Shiyuan ignored him and walked straight to Huo Xunzhou. âWe donât know who will win until the end!â âIf thatâs the case, President Lu, you must hold on until the end.â
Huo Xunzhouâs calm tone was full of arrogance.
It was exactly the same as the contemptuous tone Lin Shanchu had used when she spoke to Lu Shiyuan earlier.
âJust you wait and see!â Lu Shiyuan laughed in anger.
Nan Mu quickly chased after him.
âPresident Lu, your wound is bleeding! Iâll take you to the hospital!â âBig Brother, Iâll help Nan Mu take Lu Shiyuan to the hospital.â
Li MO hurriedly ran away.
He didnât forget to close the door for the remaining two people before he left.
Lin Shanchuâs hand clenched the blade tightly in her pocket.
âWhy are you here today?â
âIâm here to visit you, Shanshan.â
The smile lingered in his throat, mixing with his magnetic voice to make it sound like he was teasing her.
Coupled with that charming face, Huo Xunzhou really had the look of a playboy.
Lin Shanchu was amused by his antics.
âBrother Xunzhou, how would you like me to thank you for this time?â Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and rested his arm on the armrest of his wheelchair. He held his forehead while saying with a faint smile, âYouâve improved.â
This girl had always thanked him verbally.
This time, she knew to ask him.
Lin Shanchuâs smile faded as she waited for his answer.
âIâll think about it,â Huo Xunzhou said after a moment of thought.
The lively atmosphere gradually became tranquil.
âMr. Huo, why are you getting yourself involved in this?â Lin Shanchu asked.
âEven without you, Lu Shiyuan and I would have turned against each other sooner or later.â With a simple sentence, Lin Shanchu was completely removed from the picture.
âIn a sense, our goal is the same,â he quickly added. Lin Shanchu felt that these words were a little familiar.
Soon, she remembered.
Not long ago, Huo Xunzhou had said something similar to her.
[You want to take revenge on Lu Shiyuan, I want to do business. Our goals are different.]
Lin Shanchu walked in front of Huo Xunzhou.
She looked straight into Huo Xunzhouâs eyes and tried to read his emotions. âThat wasnât what you said last time.â
âThatâs because I didnât know that you admired me so much, Ms. Lin,â Huo Xunzhou said seriously.
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
So, he had heard what she had said to Lu Shiyuan.
âMen are always more tolerant towards their admirers.â
The girlâs deflated look was lively and interesting, so he couldnât help but want to tease her.
It was the same when Nan Mu said Lu Shiyuan was here again. He couldnât help but follow him to where Lin Shanchu was.
After that, in the cafeteria, he couldnât help but speak up for her.
Every time it was related to Lin Shanchu, his principles would always give in uncontrollably.
Lin Shanchu really did not expect this.
Huo Xunzhou, who had always been so prideful, actually had such a shameless moment.
But that was not what made her angry.
She was angry because she couldnât win him in an argument.
Lin Shanchu snorted in anger.
âI really admire you, Mr. Huo. I hope you can help me cancel my engagement with Lu Shiyuan as soon as possible!â
âThatâs not what you said when you asked me for help the last time.â
âHuh?â
