When Shen Xunye returned to his room with food and slippers, Chi Li was curled up on the sofa, holding his phone in both hands, typing furiously.
There was no coffee table in front of the sofa, Shen Xunye first placed the slippers at Chi Li's feet, then casually dragged a chair over to use as a makeshift table. He opened the insulated food container, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't lean over to look at the phone screen, only asking, "Who are you chatting with?"
" Li Ming, who is now my agent," Chi Li replied casually, still staring at her phone screen. " Zhou Yang has already moved out?"
Hearing the name he disliked, Shen Xunye frowned slightly. "Hmm."
Almost as soon as the dinner party ended, Zhou Yang received a message from the production team urging him to withdraw from the show.
He wanted to ask the production team for a chance to talk to Chi Li again, but his request was rejected without hesitation.
Chi Li shook her head. "That's really a pity."
"You can't bear to part with him?" Shen Xunye couldn't help but raise his voice.
In his opinion, simply persuading Zhou Yang to leave the show was too dignified.
They should call him over and beat this guy up before letting him go.
"?" Chi Li tilted her head to look at him, her face full of bewilderment. "I just regret not seeing him like a stray dog."
He came here specifically to slap Zhou Yang; he couldn't even personally see him off, so shouldn't he have some regrets?
"Oh..." Hearing this answer, Shen Xunye felt a little better. He handed the spoon to Chi Li, "We'll talk later, eat something first."
Chi Li didn't answer, continuing to type rapidly. "We'll talk about serious business later."
"What important business is it?"
Shen Xunye brought the porridge to his hands, scooped up a small spoonful with a porcelain spoon, gently scraped off the excess broth from the edge of the bowl, and then offered it to Chi Li's lips.
Chi Li paused for a moment, then slightly parted her lips and took the spoon into her mouth.
The warm porridge slid smoothly into my mouth, and its light and delicious flavor instantly awakened my numb taste buds.
After finishing the porridge, Chi Li finally answered, "Regarding the whistleblower, and... some job offers, Li Ming told me to choose whichever I want."
Shen Xunye scooped up another spoonful of porridge and brought it over. "You work for the same company as Zhou Yang, he wouldn't... prevent you from leaking information, would he?"
"How is that possible?" Chi Li opened her mouth and sipped the porridge. "If it doesn't explode, what would I become?"
Logically, a company shouldn't allow malicious competition involving leaking negative information between artists within the same company. However, the current situation is that if Chi Li doesn't leak information, she will inevitably become the subject of gossip and criticism.
Whether to protect Chi Li or Zhou Yang is a choice even a primary school student could make.
Shen Xunye nodded gently and continued feeding him the porridge. "Mmm."
"I sent the evidence to Li Ming," Chi Li said quite naturally. "Have him post it to the company account, so it doesn't contaminate my personal account."
"Okay." Shen Xunye's lips curled up slightly, his mood brightening considerably.
Chi Li continued chatting with Li Ming, while he diligently acted as the tool for feeding him porridge.
Chi Li had gotten used to it, and would even lean forward slightly when the spoon was handed to her.
The two stopped chatting; the only sounds in the room were the occasional clinking of a spoon against the rim of a bowl and the tapping of Chi Li's fingers on the screen.
After changing into the clean clothes that Shen Xunye had brought him, Chi Li finally reappeared on camera around 5 a. m.
[Wife... I miss you so much... Please don't disappear for so long again, okay? [crying]]
[My wife's face is still rosy, like it's been moisturized.]
[I won't allow Shen Xunye! I won't allow it! [crying]]
[ Shen Xunye stood behind my wife like a bodyguard.]
[We really need to protect him properly, lest he get snatched up by someone like Zhou Yang again. [Angry]]
[Haha, I saw the announcement from that lousy company. Thank goodness they didn't protect that bastard Zhou Yang. [fist][fist][fist]]
[Although some parts are blurred, one thing is certain—he didn't get to sleep with my wife during our relationship, hehe. [Cool]]
[Oh my god, that's hilarious! This is useless. No wonder you can't forget him.]
He still wants to eat it, but letting him smell it is already letting him off easy. [Smile]
Chi Li downstairs and happened to catch Shen Qiang instructing the others on how to act.
He somehow found a little emotional drama theater and started randomly matchmaking people up, like right now—
The couple performing a breakup scene in the center of the venue are Wei Xuan and Jiang Lele.
"No—" Jiang Lele was almost completely absorbed in the moment; he half-knelt on the ground, reaching out his hand to Wei Xuan's hunched back to try and hold him back. "I don't accept this reason for breaking up!"
Wei Xuan was clearly not yet in character, and even somewhat flustered as he continued his lines: "But... but what can we do if we don't break up? We... we'll always be an unblessed couple..."
Chi Li didn't disturb their performance and found an empty seat to sit down, watching with great interest.
The two performers finished their act quickly.
Afterwards, just like the students who were called to the teacher's office, they stood obediently in front of Shen Qiang, waiting for his comments.
"Not bad." Shen Qiang nodded to Jiang Lele in approval. "The emotion was very strong, accurately expressing her reluctance to let go of this relationship."
Jiang Lele's face immediately lit up with joy.
"As for you," Shen Qiang shifted his gaze to Wei Xuan, looking thoughtful, "... you also have great potential. Although your performance was restrained, I could completely feel your inner struggle."
"Really? Is it true?" Wei Xuan himself didn't even know when he had struggled with this thought.
[Trying to flatter someone to death, huh? [smile]]
[This Shen Qiang is entirely from the Demon Orb.]
[He finds pleasure in tormenting someone else while his beloved sleeps in another's room. (?)]
[That's normal. When I'm emotionally overwhelmed, I often do strange things that are hard for ordinary people to understand.]
[Who exactly bestowed this title of ascetic and refined upon him? [smile]]
[Yeah, it's a bit out of character right now, but it'll be back to normal once we leave here! Trust me!]
"Really?" Shen Qiang said sincerely. "If you were to come and act, I reckon I'd be out of work."
"No, no, no—" Wei Xuan was extremely frightened, "You can't say that."
If he can't even tell it's a sarcastic remark, he should probably get his head checked.
"... You just haven't let go of your sense of shame yet." Shen Qiang said seriously, "Don't you feel embarrassed about being watched by so many eyes?"
Wei Xuan, shrinking back, replied, "Yes."
Especially after she caught a glimpse of Chi Li and Shen Xunye coming down, the shame she felt was off the charts.
"You need to improve your mental fortitude." Shen Qiang's gaze began to wander. "I'll find two people with strong mental fortitude to demonstrate for you—" He quickly found his target. " Shen Xunye."
Shen Xunye immediately refused. "I won't act."
Don't think he doesn't know this person definitely has ill intentions.
"If you're not going to act, then I'll act with Little Chi Li... Little Chi Li definitely won't refuse me." Shen Qiang unlocked his phone and started rummaging through it, muttering to himself, "I need to find a scene with a kissing scene."
