Lu Ziqiu couldn't stand Wen Zhi's coquettish acts the most. After accompanying her for an afternoon of fun, he sent her to her doorstep.
Wen Zhi took a sip of her milk tea and chewed on the tapioca pearls. Her fair cheeks puffed up with the chewing motion, and she said indistinctly, "Try this. It's really good."
With just a single glance up, Lu Ziqiu felt a blush rising uncontrollably on his face.
There was still a faint lipstick mark on the rim of the cup. In this position, Wen Zhi held the milk tea to Lu Ziqiu's lips.
The latter didn't act coy either. He lowered his head and took a small sip. "It's very sweet."
Wen Zhi beamed, her voice turning even softer. "Is it as sweet as me?"
Lu Ziqiu blushed at her question. His wandering eyes seemed to betray the calm he had just pretended to have. Seeing this, Wen Zhi moved a bit closer.
Her soft and warm fingertips pinched Lu Ziqiu's earlobe. Against the contrast of red and white, his earlobe turned even redder.
Wen Zhi looked at him seriously and asked, "Ziqiu, are you feeling hot?"
Lu Ziqiu turned his head away awkwardly, pulled her hand down, stammered a goodbye, and then fled in a hurry.
Wen Zhi stood there, waving at the tail of the car. The smile on her face was full of confidence.
So what if Wen Yin, that good - for - nothing beauty, had finally found her style? So what if she dressed up nicely?
She was the white moonlight held in the palms of Xiao Mo and the other two. What could Wen Yin use to compete with her?
Just her good - looking face?
---
Wen Yin opened the door and curled up on the slightly shabby sofa. She closed her eyes and recalled everything from her past life.
Because of a few words from Xiao Mo, she had accidentally entered the entertainment industry, but she had always been obscure. Even now, she was just an unknown third - tier actress with no representative works and was even full of negative news because of Wen Zhi's fans.
As various memories intertwined, Wen Yin's gaze accidentally fell on the corner.
The drawing board was lying quietly in the corner. There was a glint in Wen Yin's eyes, and her heart began to pound violently, as if it had burst into flames in an instant.
During those muddled years, even Wen Yin herself had forgotten.
She was once a top student from an art academy.
The tablet screen flashed until late at night. After saving the first draft, Wen Yin stretched.
It had been a long time since she had worked on a design draft, but Wen Yin was surprised to find that she wasn't the least bit rusty. By the end, she didn't even feel tired; instead, she was more energetic. After sending the design draft to the email, Wen Yin closed the tablet.
The program crew only gave one day of rest. The next afternoon, the guests were notified to go to the airport to start the official recording of the first episode.
As soon as Wen Yin got on the plane, she met a probing look, and then a coquettish voice came.
"Wen Yin, you're here."
As soon as these words were said, three pairs of eyes all looked at her in unison.
The live broadcast hadn't started yet, and the looks from Xiao Mo and the other two were naturally not kind, but none of them shifted their gazes.
Wen Yin nodded. After staying up all night to revise the design draft, all she wanted was to catch up on sleep. She had no mood to play along with that little black - hearted lotus.
Lu Ziqiu saw the dark circles under Wen Yin's eyes and his downturned lips relaxed a bit.
He didn't expect Wen Yin to like him so much. Were those heavy dark circles because she was hurt seeing him so close to Zhi Zhi?
Lu Ziqiu couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wen Yin. This little detail naturally didn't escape Wen Zhi's eyes. The look in her side - glance at Wen Yin became sharper.
Shao Yinan came late just before take - off. The other eight guests were already there, and there weren't many empty seats left.
After seeing Qian Shuzhi's excited but restrained expression, Shao Yinan chose to sit next to Wen Yin.
The woman seemed to be catching up on sleep. The fisherman's hat covered most of her face, only showing her pointed chin. She was almost curled up in the corner.
After Shao Yinan sat down, he clearly felt more eyes on him. He looked up and only met Lu Ziqiu's lingering gaze.
The flight wasn't short. Qian Shuzhi was chattering away with Li Xiangwei, and her eyes would fall on Shao Yinan from time to time.
Wen Zhi and the other three were even worse. Wen Zhi chatted and laughed all the way, amusing the three men beside her.
Her coquettish voice made Shao Yinan frown involuntarily. He simply put on his earphones and closed his eyes to rest.
During the turbulence, something heavy landed on his shoulder at some point.
Shao Yinan opened his eyes, and there was a glint of caution in his deep black eyes.
Suddenly, his nose was filled with a fresh scent, a nice lime smell. Wen Yin's head had somehow leaned on his shoulder.
Shao Yinan instinctively stopped the action of pushing her away.
As if this position was uncomfortable, Wen Yin pouted, and her head tilted to the other side.
Just before hitting the window, a big hand cushioned between her head and the window. Only then did Wen Yin's lips slowly curl up, and her cheek even rubbed against the warm back of the hand twice.
The delicate and soft touch made Shao Yinan freeze all over, and he finally didn't withdraw his hand.
At this moment, the quiet Wen Yin seemed like a different person from the powerful - aura woman a few days ago.
This scene was caught by Lu Ziqiu, who had turned around. Disgust was clearly written on his face.
He had originally thought that Wen Yin had come here for him, but he didn't expect that she had bigger fish to catch.
The look in Lu Ziqiu's eyes as he stared at Shao Yinan became more inquisitive.
Just a top - tier celebrity. Could Wen Yin really take a fancy to him?
A sudden wave of annoyance welled up in his heart, but Lu Ziqiu couldn't figure it out. He angrily turned around and responded absent - mindedly to Wen Zhi's words.
The scene just now lingered in his mind.
The moment they landed, the live broadcast had already started. In just a few minutes, there were already tens of thousands of people in the live - broadcast room.
[Finally waiting for Zhi Zhi! These two days have really been so long!]
[Zhi Zhi and Jiang Shihuai standing together! They really match so well! The senior really hits my sweet spot!]
[Why is Wen Yin standing next to Shao Yinan? Will this woman die if she doesn't leech off popularity for a day?]
[Those haters upstairs, don't drag my brother into your attacks on Wen Yin!]
Wen Zhi stared at the scene in front of her with her deer - like eyes wide open in disbelief. Her delicate fingertips pointed forward. "This can't be a joke, right?"
After Xiao Mo saw the "carefully prepared" love cabin by the program crew, he also frowned.
On the outskirts of the wilderness, the small wooden house could be described as on the verge of collapse. It even had a sense of dilapidation, as if it would fall down with a gust of wind and leak when it rained.
Wen Yin wasn't very surprised when she saw it. She had lived in even shabbier houses than this.
After confirming that the program crew wasn't joking, Wen Zhi couldn't maintain her smile anymore. She sized up the shabby house in front of her. Her beautiful eyes wrinkled uncontrollably, and the disgust on her face was hard to hide.
Qian Shuzhi was unhappy inside, but she didn't show it at all. Instead, she said understandingly, "This house looks okay. We should be able to make it livable after a good cleaning."
Wen Zhi gave her an impatient glance.
What was this woman pretending for? She had clearly seen just now that Qian Shuzhi was no less disgusted with the house than she was.
Wen Zhi blurted out, "This house obviously can't be lived in! How can we even clean it up!"
After her delicate and sharp voice fell, not only the guests on - site but also the fans in front of the screen were stunned.
[The program crew is so cruel. Making the guests go to a desert island in the first episode? Is this a desert - island survival show?]
[I remember that Wen Zhi's image when she first debuted was set as gentle and virtuous. Is this a collapse of her persona now?]
[Yeah, none of the other guests said anything. I don't know why Wen Zhi has such strong opinions.]
[I don't see the word "virtuous" in Wen Zhi at all. All I see is disgust.]
