Jiang Shihuai's chilling gaze shot towards her from beneath his glasses, as if the tenderness on his face just now had been an illusion.
Wen Yin was momentarily dazed. Those eyes had once looked at her so tenderly.
Jiang Shihuai would ruffle her hair and tease her when he saw the blush on her face.
But his gentle voice had eventually turned cold.
Wen Yin had originally thought that Jiang Shihuai was the sun that would pull her out of the darkness. She never imagined that she would fall into an abyss once again.
"Wen Yin, when you love someone, you mustn't lose yourself first. You're nothing like her."
"Your love for me is not a reason for you to lose yourself."
Amidst her heart - wrenching accusations, Jiang Shihuai's eyes gradually turned cold, and the look he gave her was like that of a stranger.
"Yes, I did take you as Zhizhi. But now, you're not even worthy of being her substitute."
Wen Yin raised her eyes. In the past, she had been very afraid of Jiang Shihuai looking at her like this, but now...
She met his gaze head - on, her dark pupils as calm as still water.
Xiao Mo's movements were rough. After the gift box was opened, the cute little cat's head was revealed.
"This is a doll I made myself. I used the fur that fell off Feifei. Do you like it?" Wen Yin smiled sweetly on her delicate face, looking extremely innocent.
Feifei was a stray cat she had adopted.
Xiao Mo tightened his grip on the doll. The familiar yet strange itching made him grit his teeth and squeeze out a few words through his teeth.
"Very... cute."
He was allergic to cat hair.
Wen Yin, of course, knew that Xiao Mo was allergic to cat hair, but she also couldn't forget the hurtful words he had said.
"Don't you understand the fast - food love of adults? If it weren't for your eyes, I wouldn't even look at you twice."
"If you're just here to act affectionate, you can go back."
"You're just a boring pastime for me."
Every word was cruel, stabbing at her heart.
Wen Yin finally understood that the woman in Xiao Mo's words was Wen Zhizhi.
After being betrayed by those three scumbags, Wen Zhizhi still didn't seem to want to let her go. With just a few tricks, Wen Yin had been forced out of the entertainment circle.
She had even been attacked and killed by Wen Zhizhi's fans who praised Wen Zhizhi and belittled her, with no place to rest in peace.
Wen Yin had realized that this was a world where only she got hurt.
With the halo of the female protagonist, Wen Zhizhi was running amok in this world. She would even kick a passing dog.
Wen Yin had done nothing wrong, yet she had been tortured to death by this black - lotus woman.
Even a cornered rabbit will bite. Since she had a chance to start over, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Shao Yinan propped his head up with his right hand, looking lazy and casual. His narrow black eyes roamed over the people around, sensing an unusual atmosphere.
The gift box in front of Li Xiangwei was very exquisite, but Wen Yin beside her noticed that her mood was not high. She even frowned slightly.
Even Wen Zhizhi showed envy when the delicate musical note earrings were revealed, but Li Xiangwei didn't even blink an eye.
These were the new products of the season. They couldn't be bought just with money.
"This is too precious." Li Xiangwei looked past the crowd and her gaze landed on Xiang Zhou in the corner. Her face was surprisingly calm, without even a hint of surprise.
The latter waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to care.
Wen Yin keenly sensed something different.
After the program team briefly introduced the procedures for the official recording of the variety show, they let the guests go back to rest first. The live - broadcast of the travel - style dating variety show would officially start tomorrow.

In the dark corridor, a man roughly pulled a woman in and pinned her against the wall.
The two were completely hidden in the dark corner. The only thing flickering was the cigarette with a scarlet glow in the man's hand.
Wen Yin raised her little face, crossed her arms, and looked at the man in front of her leisurely.
"Mr. Xiao is in a good mood." Wen Yin's smile was bright and charming, like a wild rose ready to be picked.
"Do you like me so much?"
The two were very close. Xiao Mo's mellow voice, like that of a cello, could make one's ears tingle.
He took a puff of his cigarette playfully and blew the smoke in her face.
"Did you chase me all the way here for me?"
Hearing this, Wen Yin's smile grew wider. She reached out and took the cigarette from the corner of Xiao Mo's mouth, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled.
Amidst the curling smoke, there was an indescribable surprise in Xiao Mo's black eyes.
"I'm not as nostalgic as Mr. Xiao."
The cigarette was still burning between Wen Yin's fingers. She reached out and snuffed it out, then turned around with a light laugh.
"Moreover, I don't have the habit of recycling trash."
The smoke in the stairwell gradually dissipated. Xiao Mo watched as the charming figure gradually walked away, and his gaze fixed on the cigarette butt.
Wen Yin wiped the corner of her mouth in disgust, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed an unexpected guest in the lounge.
"You shouldn't be here."
Jiang Shihuai's voice was cold. His usually gentle black eyes were looking at her without a trace of extra emotion.
His disgust and impatience were well - hidden.
"I thought I made myself clear. I didn't expect you to follow me here."
Wen Yin twitched the corner of her mouth. Her shallow smile inexplicably carried a hint of mockery. After a few seconds, she said, "You're right. I shouldn't be here."
She walked towards Jiang Shihuai on the sofa step by step and placed her hands on both sides of him.
Jiang Shihuai looked up and saw Wen Yin's fair and delicate collarbone. As his Adam's apple rolled, he frowned and averted his gaze.
Wen Yin's index finger pressed against his chest, and she laughed recklessly. "I should be in your heart."
Jiang Shihuai looked up at Wen Yin in front of him. The skin under her index finger inexplicably felt a bit hotter, making his heart feel irritable.
Just as he was about to scold her, Wen Yin pulled away from him.
"I should also be dancing on your grave!"
The light - hearted and childish words fell into the man's ears. He frowned and was about to speak when he found that Wen Yin had already picked up her bag and walked out.
The lights in the underground parking lot were dim. The only thing shining was the green light on the phone screen, making Wen Yin's delicate eyebrows and eyes look even greener.
As she scrolled through the chat records one by one, Wen Yin found that it wasn't just a sea of green. There were even a few red exclamation marks mixed in the completely green screen.
Wen Yin rolled her eyes.
This damned puppy - like girlfriend attribute.
"Wen Yin." Lu Ziqiu blocked her way. He roughly stuffed her into the car, looked around, and then got in himself.
It would be bad if Zhizhi saw and misunderstood.
"You really have a lot of nerve to chase me here." Lu Ziqiu raised his hand. The lucky cat's lucky bag was hanging on his well - defined index finger, swaying back and forth.
"Don't you know I hate these things the most?"
There was full impatience on Lu Ziqiu's handsome face. It seemed that touching this lucky bag once more would bring him bad luck.
The culprit was calmly tidying up the hair that he had messed up. Her long black hair was scattered behind her, and a few strands of hair that had fallen on her forehead cleverly covered the upturned corners of her eyes.
Suddenly meeting those familiar eyes, the roar that Lu Ziqiu hadn't said yet got stuck in his throat.
This feeling passed in an instant. Wen Yin played with her hair, and her red lips curled up slightly, looking like a seductive little fairy.
"Why should I know?"
Lu Ziqiu was almost laughed at by Wen Yin's attitude.
After being asked by her, an unreasonable anger welled up in Lu Ziqiu's heart. But when he met Wen Yin's hook - like black eyes, he fell silent.
The angry little lion seemed to be soothed by a single look.
Lu Ziqiu rubbed his head twice, as if trying to calm the restlessness in his heart, and then threw a card at Wen Yin.
"Take this and leave. Don't come to the show again."
Wen Yin lowered her eyes and looked at the black card. The emotions in her black eyes were unclear. She picked up the card with her slender index finger and smiled coquettishly.
Lu Ziqiu thought that Wen Yin would quickly accept it, but he didn't expect that she just curled her red lips.
"I don't have much to repay you with." Wen Yin took out her wallet, took out a green bill, and slapped it together with the black card on Lu Ziqiu's chest.
Looking up, her eyes were full of amorous feelings, and she was extremely charming. "A little token of my appreciation."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Wen Yin got out of the car, then bent down to look into Lu Ziqiu's eyes and waved her phone.
"If you're free, keep in touch?"
The woman's natural and unrestrained expression when she raised her eyebrows and her bright smile were instantly engraved in Lu Ziqiu's mind, and his heart even beat a little faster.
Looking down at the one - yuan bill on the ground, he got angry again.
"Ziqiu!" Wen Zhizhi's lively voice came over, and Lu Ziqiu came back to his senses.
Wen Zhizhi bounced over to him, ruffled his hair, and coquettishly said, "I'm so tired today. Will you take me to buy milk tea?"
Lu Ziqiu's smile was doting. He could never resist Wen Zhizhi.
"Okay, my Zhizhi."
Wen Zhizhi's smile grew wider, but out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance to the side.
She was sure she hadn't misseen that figure.
Wen Yin had just gotten out of Lu Ziqiu's car.
