Zhu Yao is a bit of a germaphobe, and Han Shuang pays great attention to these little things. Ever since he got together with Zhu Yao, he has always kept wet wipes and disinfectant alcohol in his bag.
Zhu Yao pursed her lips and remained silent. She simply couldn't understand how Han Shuang could do such a thing.
In a flash, Zhu Yao remembered something.
They're both adults, and they usually get together several times a month. Lately, Han Shuang keeps saying she wants to take some photos to commemorate the occasion.
Zhu Yao thought there was nothing to commemorate about this and refused. Now that she realized it, wasn't this just a blatant test?
They're just taking photos now. Shouldn't the next step be to push her further and get her to agree to film a video?
But she didn't agree, the video...
Did Han Shuang install surveillance cameras in her home?
In an instant, Zhu Yao felt a chill run down her spine, and her lips turned white from being pressed so tightly together.
" Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Han Shuang was a little worried when she saw Zhu Yao standing there blankly without reacting.
Song Hezhu guessed that Zhu Yao had also heard Lin Tingyue's thoughts, and she said, "It's sunny today, it's probably too hot."
Song Hezhu handed over her tissue.
"Ah, right, it's not even March yet, and it's already getting hot. I don't know what's wrong with this weather."
Zhu Yao took it and whispered a thank you to Song Hezhu.
"Luckily I brought an umbrella."
Han Shuang took an umbrella out of her bag. Normally, Zhu Yao would have been touched by Han Shuang doing these things, but now, all she felt was disgust.
Zhu Yao should be awake by now. Song Hezhu said, " Yueyue, let's go."
"Good."
Lin Tingyue waved to Zhu Yao.
They arrived in Song Hezhu's car today. Song Hezhu went around to the driver's seat to drive, and when she sat down, she noticed Lin Tingyue holding her phone as if she was editing a message.
Song Hezhu joked, "You're not reporting this to your big star, are you?"
"No, I just thought Teacher Zhu was a nice person, so I asked Sister Lian for her contact information."
Without a doubt, Lin Tingyue wanted Zhu Yao's contact information to remind her.
Song Hezhu chimed in, "She's a really nice person."
Finally finished sending the message, Lin Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She put down her phone and asked, "What about me?"
Song Hezhu tilted her head and looked at her, "You're the best person."
Lin Tingyue's eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.
Such a lovely Lin Tingyue, snatched away by Ying An, how awful!
Song Hezhu asked again, "Are you sure you don't need to report to your big star?"
Lin Tingyue thought about it carefully and was surprised to find that it seemed to be Ying An who had been reporting to her all along.
She hesitated before saying, " Mr. Ying doesn't seem to care much."
Song Hezhu's gaze was meaningful. Did she not care, or was she saying she didn't care but secretly feeling jealous?
Song Hezhu didn't expose her. She started the car and said, "Well, your big star seems like a really nice person."
Lin Tingyue quietly added, "[He's quite handsome.]"
Song Hezhu couldn't help but laugh.
On the way, she received a call from Huo Hanyun. After hearing that Huo Hanyun was in the hospital, she consulted Lin Tingyue and the two went to the hospital without stopping.
After asking the nurse for the room number, I went in and saw Huo Hanyun, dressed in professional attire, standing by the window making a phone call.
Huo Hanyun hung up the phone and turned around, bumping into Song Hezhu, who had a resentful look on her face. Huo Hanyun: "?"
" Song Hezhu, what's wrong with you?"
"You're injured and you still want to work? Will you die if you don't work?"
"Who's injured..." Huo Hanyun paused, then, thinking of a possibility, she smiled.
"Ms. Song, did you not hear me clearly?"
"What is that?" Song Hezhu, unusually bewildered.
"I was referring to my assistant twisting her ankle while going down the stairs."
"Yeah?"
Song Hezhu went to see her assistant, who was lying in a hospital bed.
Assistant: "Hi?"
Song Hezhu: "..."
She looked at Lin Tingyue and said quietly, "Why didn't you remind me?"
"I thought you and Hanyun's assistant were good friends."
The assistant's eyes lit up. She was so lucky! She sprained her ankle, and her boss personally accompanied her to the hospital. She was even friends with her boss's friend. Her life was perfect.
Huo Hanyun: "Don't overthink it. Your mother is on her way. I'll hire a caregiver for you."
The assistant was instantly moved to tears, feeling like he could get back on his feet and work for another ten years.
[Damn it, I'll fight you guys who have such good bosses!]
Huo Hanyun and Song Hezhu exchanged a glance. Huo Hanyun said, "How about I treat you to a meal as an apology for mishearing me?"
Song Hezhu raised an eyebrow. "You don't need to beat around the bush about me."
"I really enjoy treating people to meals."
[Ha ha.]
It was awkward.
But Lin Tingyue successfully got a free meal.
"No, you're so upset just because you invited the two of us to dinner? You've been looking so gloomy the whole time."
"Can you laugh after reading these messages?"
Huo Hanyun handed her phone to Song Hezhu.
Song Hezhu and Lin Tingyue felt a chill run down their spines after reading it.
Song Hezhu handed the phone back to Huo Hanyun: "The pressure to get married is outrageous. I don't remember your parents being like this before."
"When I chose to take over the company before, they were very supportive. But recently, I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, plus my second uncle and his family are being restless. They keep telling my parents that girls are unreliable and that I should find a reliable person to marry as soon as possible so I can hand over the company to them."
Song Hezhu: "?"
Even if there is no throne, a throne should be created for a man.
That's so true.
Song Hezhu asked, "So what are your thoughts?"
"It's impossible for me to hand over the company. I'm planning to rent a girlfriend to take back with me."
Rent a... girlfriend?
Such niche terms.
Just looking at all the messages urging Huo Hanyun's parents must be very traditional. If Huo Hanyun really brings his girlfriend back home... well...
Song Hezhu thought, "May your uncle and aunt have good luck. Huo Hanyun is indeed rebellious at heart."
The rebellious Huo Hanyun looked out the window with a surprised expression. Song Hezhu asked, "What's wrong? Did you see someone you know?"
Huo Hanyun pointed, "That looks like my second uncle's daughter."
"How could I possibly run into this...? What kind of luck is that..."
Song Hezhu looked over and saw two girls holding hands, very close, outside the glass window.
Huo Hanyun didn't take it seriously. "She's probably out having fun with her best friend."
[No, no, not best friend, she's my girlfriend.]
Girlfriend?
The next second, the two people outside the glass window kissed each other without any regard for others.
Huo Hanyun: "..."
Her girlfriend was rented, but her second uncle's daughter's girlfriend was real.
Huo Ningfu also saw Huo Hanyun sitting inside, and she panicked and pushed her girlfriend away.
His girlfriend asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Huo Ningfu bit her lip and remained silent. What else could it be? Huo Ningfu was most afraid of this cousin. Now that she had been caught, she would definitely tell her parents.
It's all over, all over, all over.
Why did she choose today for her date?
They were even kissing in the street... Huo Ningfu, you've really become brave.
The girlfriend realized something and asked, "Did you see someone you know?"
Huo Ningfu nodded and whispered, "My cousin."
"It's okay, it's okay," Huo Ningfu's girlfriend said, stopping her. "Just say it's all my fault."
Huo Ningfu pouted, "But even if someone believes it, it'll take a lot."
However, she wasn't as nervous as before.
Huo Ningfu's phone rang. She received a message from Huo Hanyun, who told her that she would not reveal a single word about what she had seen that day.
Huo Ningfu gripped her phone tightly. Was her cousin really like that?
Since her cousin has said so, she must believe her. Should she help her cousin too?
"Oh, you're already in front of the TV so early today. That's not like you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Shengyan handed a box of cosmetics to Lin Tingyue.
Lin Tingyue: "For me?"
Lin Shengyan snorted, "If it's not for you, who else could it be for? It was a gift from the brand. I've tried it, it's not bad. One box for you, one box for Xiawan, and one box for Mom."
Since there was a gift, Lin Tingyue didn't argue with Lin Shengyan. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."
"Um."
It has a bit of a brotherly and sisterly affection feel to it.
"This is... Ying An's variety show?"
"Yes, Mr. Ying is going as a guest star, just for this episode." Lin Tingyue sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding potato chips in her hand, but her eyes were constantly watching the events on the screen.
To be precise, the moment Ying An appeared, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Lin Shengyan: "?"
He didn't understand. "If you want to see Ying An, just call him and ask him to come over."
" Mr. Ying has joined another production team."
"So what happened?"
Despite being so busy, Ying An still managed to squeeze in time to surprise Lin Tingyue, rushing over from the set. Lin Shengyan still believed that Ying An could do it.
Lin Tingyue got annoyed. "Second brother, just watch TV."
Lin Shengyan: "..."
Isn't this another way of silencing him?
During a commercial break, Sister Lian called Lin Tingyue to tell her that she had successfully passed the interview.
Lin Tingyue congratulated her, and then said some other random things.
Sister Lian mentioned that Zhu Yao broke up with her boyfriend, apparently because of some very private matters. Zhu Yao's brother even beat her boyfriend up.
Sister Lian didn't know what a normal relationship between men and women was like before, and she found it quite novel. It turns out that even if a man makes a mistake, he can still be beaten.
Lin Tingyue told her that there were still many new and wonderful things waiting for her in this world.
