Arc 1: Part 56
"Don't rush."
Xi Chen Zhao strode towards her, an exquisite, handsome face brimming with a gentle smile. His prominent nose stood out, resembling a towering mountain, and his tall stature completely protected her.
He lowered his head, placing a light kiss on her forehead. "I won't pressure you. Take your time."
The cool and soft touch caused her to shiver.
She lifted up her head in surprise, her face painted with a rare look of stupefaction.
Lips still moist from the kiss, glowing with a cherry like gloss, he chuckled lightly, shockingly attractive.
Her heart trembles thoroughly.
She returned to her room dizzy with the unexpected sensation, her mind filled with the soft warmth from his kiss. The gentle tingling sensation felt like a subtle electric current flowing through her body, sending shivers down her spine.
"Oh my god," she muttered absentmindedly, "When did I ever flirt with Xi Chen Zhao? What's going on? Wasn't he supposed to be playing the role of a good brother? How did he suddenly turn into the romantic lead?"
What just happened...
Could this be evolving into some romance side mission?
To be honest, she had never come across such a high-quality gentleman like Xi Chen Zhao in her past life. If considered for a romantic entanglement, this surely was an opportunity too good to miss.
However, Tong Su right now is only focused on the mission at hand. She can't spare any extra energy to nurture romance.
"Let's just leave it as is for now. I'll deal with it in the future. After all, he said there's no rush," Tong Su shakes off the matter as she shakes her head.
Lying on the bed scrolling through her phone, she lands on the Weibo voting page. The red side, supporting her, versus the blue side supporting Lan Shuer. The vote difference is gradually widening, and the comment section is bustling.
"Red Side: Tong Su's acting is superior plus her demeanor is appealing (personal opinion). I'm rooting for Tong Su!"
"Red Side: Is there a need for this competition? Whether it was before or after the live stream, I've never felt that Lan Shuer is suitable for acting."
"Blue Side: I didn't know either of them before, but now that you all are slandering Lan Shuer, I find myself liking her more! As a man, I like a woman who is playful. It doesn't matter if she flirts because her boyfriend isn't me, the more she draws in men, the more I like her!"
"Red Side: The number of NGs speaks volumes! I love Tong Su! Support Tong Su in dumping Ji Yu. You deserve better!"
"Blue Side: Just answer who you want to sleep with! Tong Su, the princess, can only be admired from afar. But a woman like Lan Shuer, isn't she what most men fantasize about?"
"Red Side: …Isn't this supposed to be about acting? What on earth are these idiotic men commenting about? This time's male netizens are disgusting!"
"Red Side: Go Xi Tong Su!"
Tong Su was thoroughly enjoying browsing Weibo when suddenly a shadow enveloped her. Before her eyes, everything went black as a hand reached out from behind.
Caught off guard and unable to react in time, her phone was snatched away.
"Time to sleep."
Tong Su pouted, "I was just reading their flattering comments about me!"
Xi Chen Zhao looked at her coldly, "Do you still need to see others complimenting you?"
"Yes." Tong Su suddenly got excited, her eyes twinkling as she looked up at Xi Chen Zhao, "Then, how about you praise me? Then I won't look at the comments online anymore... They said I'm pretty, that my acting is good. Big brother, praise me quick!"
Xi Chen Zhao closed his mouth in silence, his face always indifferent. However, Tong Su, with her sharp eyes, saw that the outline of his jade-like ears was slowly turning a light shade of red.
He's shy?!
