The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 448 The Last Supper (Final) Who is the real MVP!

Nuolan was initially angered by Tang Youyou's words at the sink: "That's right, I like Teacher Wen. I've kissed him. It's love, and I can't deny it!"

At the time, I was thinking, "Is this woman really that brave? She just said it to my face."

But then, after the other party suddenly launched into a long story, she realized that Tang Youyou either had a mental problem or was simply there to cause trouble.

She couldn't understand why the latter was the case, but she did somewhat agree with the former.

However, regardless of whether Tang Youyou really has a problem with her brain, what the other party did just now really made her a little angry.

Even though she can now be fairly certain that Tang Youyou has nothing to do with her ex-husband, she doesn't believe that Wen Sheng would fall for a woman who is mentally unstable.

Even so, Nuolan was not someone who could be dismissed with a simple "nonsense".

So she gave Zeng Xiaoxian a wink; he'd been sitting there for so long, it was time for him to do something.

When Zeng Xiaoxian asked that question, the already somewhat eerie atmosphere in the private room suddenly tightened, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire room.

The people in the apartment all looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with shocked expressions, never expecting that this guy would bring up such a sensitive topic.

Zeng Xiaoxian felt his scalp tingling, but he had no choice but to withstand the pressure, since Director Nuo was right there overseeing the battle!
Tang Youyou was equally terrified. After hearing Teacher Zeng's words, she felt as if she had been hit on the head with a club, especially since she had just apologized to Nuolan.

Nolan's smile froze perfectly, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"What? Youyou, you..."

"I didn't! I didn't! It wasn't me..." Tang Youyou denied instinctively.

But soon, realizing something was wrong, she immediately stopped talking.

The expressions on the faces of the people in the apartment changed again, sensing that something big was about to happen to Youyou.

Wen Sheng glanced at Nuolan beside him, frowned, and said, "It was just an accident at the time, and..."

"I did intentionally kiss Ms. Wen!"

Tang Youyou spoke first, surprising everyone with her words.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this, wondering what kind of crazy thing she was going to do next, especially Hu Yifei and Lü Ziqiao, who were afraid that Tang Youyou would do something like what she did in the bathroom earlier.

Nuolan's expression darkened slightly. Today's celebration, which should have been a joyous occasion, had now completely turned into something else entirely, so she no longer needed to hold back.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, don't talk nonsense. How could something like that be true?" Nuolan first pretended to be indifferent, then looked at Tang Youyou and said lightly, "Youyou, don't worry, I believe you're not that kind of person. Since you said what you just said was nonsense, then I..."

"No, I'm not lying!" Tang Youyou interrupted again.

"..."

Nolan's eyes twitched; she felt as if she were conversing with another kind of being.

If Tang Youyou in front of her were a normal person, a normal rival in love, her tactic of using understatement to attack would have already driven the other person to the brink of despair.

But Tang Youyou seemed to have a screw loose in her head; after exchanging just a few words with her, it felt like she was talking to a deity.

And then there's her bad habit of interrupting; I was just getting myself going when she cut me off.

Not polite!
Just as Nuolan's face darkened, Tang Youyou said, "Uh, I mean I wasn't lying when I said I was being affectionate with Teacher Wen. What I said in the bathroom earlier was just nonsense."

"..."

"However, there was a reason why I deliberately showed affection to Teacher Wen back then!"

Nuolan took a deep breath, and unable to even manage a smile, she forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "What's the reason? Is it also to repay a debt of gratitude? Or did you forget to take your medicine again?"

"Of course not, it's because...it's because..."

Tang Youyou paused slightly, her gaze shifting from Nuolan's face to Wen Sheng's before continuing, "I'm an actress, and sometimes when I'm happy, I... I can't control my desire to perform."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Like just now, it was Nuolan who said she would recommend me for the lead role, and I was so happy that I performed another scene. How was it? Did you think my acting was pretty good? Did you think I would definitely not waste your recommendation spot?"

"..."

The atmosphere, which should have been tense and heavy, suddenly took on a strange air. This time, everyone, including Wen Sheng, was taken aback by Tang Youyou's words.

Not only did the other party fail to explain things to Nuolan first, but they also dared to salvage the opportunity that she had previously lost!

"Auntie, you're a real talent!" Lu Ziqiao murmured to himself.

Nuolan felt the nerves in her temples throbbing. The other party's unconventional behavior made her... laugh in exasperation.

"He acted quite well, but I don't know if he's suitable for that role."

After laughing, Nuolan gradually figured out the other party's tactics, so she didn't mention whether she should continue to recommend Tang Youyou, but just gave a vague and evasive answer.

Upon hearing this, Tang Youyou felt a pang of anxiety and quickly added, "How could I not be suitable? I'm incredibly versatile, a professional actress, reasonably priced, and honest!"

Seeing that Nuolan's expression remained unchanged, she continued, "And the reason why I kissed Teacher Wen so forcefully before was because I was so happy at the time and wanted to perform a kissing scene, so I kissed Teacher Wen so forcefully."

"..."

Knowing that Tang Youyou was talking nonsense, especially when the other party mentioned the incident of forcibly kissing her ex-husband, Nuolan felt that she could not suppress her anger.

But at this moment, Nuolan also knew that she couldn't fall for the other party's tricks again, otherwise the other party would probably come up with something even more unpleasant.

Composing herself, Nuolan suppressed her anger and simply asked, "Kissing scene?"

"Yes, professional actors definitely need to know how to kiss. I received an audition notice from a film crew, and in my excitement... I couldn't help but kiss Teacher Wen..."

"Why not say you're a professional actress?" Even though Tang Youyou was talking nonsense, she still put on an embarrassed expression.

However, she overlooked one problem at this moment.

"Didn't Youyou consider that others might also think she's acting?" Hu Yifei covered her forehead and sighed softly in helplessness.

Sure enough, Nuolan stared at Tang Youyou with a half-smile and said, "How do I know if you're acting right now?"

"Of course not! When I'm not acting, I'm a very honest person!"

"..."

Nuolan raised an eyebrow and looked at the professional actor in front of her. She admired him for being able to stick to his story at this moment.

She didn't know whether she should praise the other person or criticize them.

But given the other person's mental state, the thought that Nuolan had casually mentioned earlier suddenly resurfaced in her mind.

"Awen, are you sure Tang Youyou would really force a kiss on you?"

"..."

Wen Sheng also looked helpless. He thought the matter had been settled two days ago, but he didn't expect to find out that there was such a misunderstanding.

Moreover, Tang Youyou and the others don't know what they're thinking. Do they think this misunderstanding is a good thing? They all insist on making a fuss about it.

Wen Sheng had always thought the people in the apartment were really interesting; they were all a bit crazy but had something to do, and he was sure he wouldn't be lonely living there.

But he really didn't expect these people to be this crazy. They managed to turn an ordinary dinner into such a dramatic and unpredictable affair.

Now that things have turned out this way, he can't correct the distorted story back to the original facts.

When Wen Sheng caught a glimpse of Qin Yumo, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, out of the corner of his eye, he sighed inwardly. Just like Nuolan had asked herself before, did she look like a fool?

"Actually, there's a misunderstanding here..."

"Yes, people misunderstand and think that I have developed feelings for Teacher Wen because of the drama. There is no need to misunderstand or worry at all, because I am a professional actor. Kissing scenes are just acting."

Perhaps seeing that Wen Sheng looked like he was about to tell the truth, Tang Youyou interrupted him again.

This time, Nuolan's displeasure was written all over her face.

You've gotten addicted to playing this game again and again, haven't you?

"Acting? Youyou, do you have so much experience in acting kissing scenes?" Nuolan narrowed her eyes and stared at Tang Youyou coldly.

The atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly tense. Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao, and Zhang Wei's palms began to sweat, while Hu Yifei was even ready to rush over and break up the fight.

At this moment, if Nuolan were to accidentally break a cup, some people would immediately crawl under the table, fearing that a large group of axemen would rush in.

Tang Youyou also sensed this atmosphere. Things had developed to a point where they were beyond the expectations of anyone present, let alone under their control.

Before the dinner, those who wanted to eat really thought they would have a good meal, and those who had plans all thought things would develop as they expected.

But the result is that if not handled properly, the celebration banquet could immediately turn into a trap.

"Of course, kissing scenes are a required course for actors." Despite the pressure, Tang Youyou continued to smile nonchalantly, "Kissing is kissing, and acting is acting. Actors clearly distinguish between the two, and besides, it was just an accident back then."

"That's it."

Nolan nodded, her eyes flashing for a moment before she suddenly smiled and asked, "Don't you actors feel any pressure when filming kissing scenes?" "That depends on the situation. Some might feel pressure, but professional actors like me don't. Stanislavski said in *An Actor Prepares* that acting is not imitating life, but creating the illusion of life, and I can do that very well, and..."

Whether it's because she rarely has the opportunity to talk about these things with others, or because she wanted to use these words to emphasize that she is an excellent actress, Tang Youyou became as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood when talking about her professional field, and talked on and on.

After hearing these words, Nuolan laughed and said, "Impressive. But I've heard that some actors have to use camera tricks when filming kissing scenes, and they don't even stick their tongues out when kissing. After all, they're not a couple and they'd feel embarrassed. Youyou, are you embarrassed when you film kissing scenes?"

"Hey, that's because they're not professional enough. Using camera angles is an insult to the audience. It's just a kissing scene, what's there to be embarrassed about? I can do kissing scenes like a pro!"

Tang Youyou laughed smugly, then pulled Guan Gu Shenqi over and kissed him directly.

"..."

"hiss!"

Gasps of surprise filled the private room, instantly shifting the tense atmosphere once again, making it even more unpredictable.

Not only Nolan and the people in the apartment, but also the newcomers Neo and Moran were all stunned by what they saw.

"This...this...this...this is too awesome!" the fierce queen Hu Yifei exclaimed, while Qin Yumo, standing beside her, covered her mouth in astonishment.

Everyone in the apartment knows that Tang Youyou's claim that she kissed Wen Sheng is nonsense; it was Yu Mo who did it.

But Qin Yumo did this under the influence of alcohol back then, while Tang Youyou is doing it... she's just acting on cue!

Witnessing this scene, Qin Yumo couldn't help but recall the time she forcibly kissed Wen Sheng, when there were people all around watching...

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Wen Sheng. It turned out that he was thinking the same thing as her and also turned his gaze over.

"..."

Now, as the protagonist who was forcibly kissed, Guan Gu Shenqi was worried about how Tang Youyou would deal with Nuolan. He was worried that Tang Youyou would not be able to hide it, and he was also worried that if Tang Youyou managed to hide it, she would really take the blame.

His mood fluctuated wildly amidst this conflicted and conflicted state of mind.

Until Tang Youyou suddenly grabbed him!
Just a second before Guan Gu was forcibly kissed, he looked at Tang Youyou with some confusion on his face as he was pulled over.

But when the other person suddenly leaned in and kissed him, Guan Gu was stunned for a couple of seconds. Then he realized what was happening and tried to struggle, but Tang Youyou was quite strong, and he couldn't really knock her to the ground, so he had no choice but to...

Well, since I can't resist it, I can only silently accept it.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Tang Youyou. She was dressed in ancient costume, looking just like Diao Chan. If she hadn't been carrying a rocket launcher, she would have looked even more like her.

At that time, he was not exactly in love with Tang Youyou at first sight, but his heart was definitely racing.

If he were to talk about how he fell for her back then, he'd probably say, "Hey, see that girl? She's kissing me right now!"

"Honey, honey, did you see that? They're kissing!"

Nuolan grabbed Wen Sheng's hand and shook it vigorously. She really didn't expect Tang Youyou to suddenly pull this stunt again.

She already had some suspicions that there might be something fishy about Tang Youyou kissing her ex-husband, and wanted to use the opportunity of asking for details to further test whether it was true or not.

Before she could ask any further questions, the other person suddenly performed a kissing scene on the spot.

How can she test the waters now?

I'm not afraid of opponents who are too strong; I'm afraid of opponents who are too abstract...

However, Nuolan suddenly felt that there was no need to test anything anymore. Tang Youyou's actions had made her feel that further testing would only be a waste of time and energy, and would ultimately lead to a boring result.

The two were so engrossed in their kissing scene that they seemed to have lost all connection with the outside world. No one interrupted them until, after a long while, they finally stopped, feeling breathless.

At this moment, their senses returned somewhat, and the two of them turned to look at everyone, still somewhat bewildered.

The next second, everyone who had been staring intently at them immediately looked away and focused on what was in their own bowls.

"This dish is delicious, you should try it."

"Come on, a toast."

"I asked the waiter to bring two more plates of shrimp."

"..."

Everyone was busy with their own things, as if they couldn't see the two of them.

Once fully awake, the two immediately distanced themselves. Guan Gu's mind was completely blank, with only thoughts of either hiding under the table in shame or committing seppuku out of embarrassment. Tang Youyou, with the professionalism of an actress, also blushed.

Oh no, I got too carried away while kissing.

With her head down, Tang Youyou was really too embarrassed to look up and see anyone. She only dared to secretly glance at the current situation out of the corner of her eye.

Nuolan was peeling shrimp for Teacher Wen, Teacher Wen was serving food to Nuolan, Teacher Zeng was playing rock-paper-scissors with Lu Ziqiao, Mo Lan was peeling shrimp for Zhang Wei, and Yi Fei, Yu Mo, and Neo were clinking glasses...

It seems like nobody's paying attention to us right now.

With her mind in a jumble, Tang Youyou poked at the bowl with her fork for a long time before gradually returning to normal.

"cough!"

Tang Youyou suddenly coughed, forcing a calm expression, and said, "Look, Nuolan, this is a kissing scene. I told you I'm a professional actress!"

"..."

Nuolan pursed her lips, looked at Tang Youyou, and nodded with a smile: "Impressive, no wonder you're a professional actress."

"That's right." Tang Youyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That's why I said a kiss is a kiss, and acting is acting. There's absolutely no need to worry too much about feelings developing from acting! So there's no need to misunderstand my kiss with Teacher Wen before..."

"Yes, I'm sure I haven't misunderstood anything."

This time, it was Nuolan's turn to interrupt Tang Youyou's speech.

She glanced at Tang Youyou, then at Wen Sheng, her eyes thoughtful as she said, "I think I've misunderstood quite a bit..."

She paused, then glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "Zeng Xiaoxian, you really are something. I always felt that Youyou wasn't that kind of person, yet you lied to me. Her relationship with Awen should be completely innocent!"

"I..." Zeng Xiaoxian's face stiffened. What did he say? He didn't say that Tang Youyou and Wen Sheng had an ambiguous relationship!

"I misspoke, I misspoke, I'm sorry."

There was nothing he could do; since his boss was passing the buck like this, he had no choice but to take it on.

Then Nuolan said to Tang Youyou, "Youyou, you don't need to lie to me anymore. You never kissed Awen, right?"

"..."

The expressions of everyone in the apartment changed slightly, wondering how Nuolan had come to such a conclusion. Then they heard her shake her head and say, "I don't know if you really can't control your desire to perform or if it's something else, but is it really necessary to be acting and making up stories here?"

"I...I'm telling the truth, I really kissed...I really kissed Teacher Wen."

Because of that kiss, Tang Youyou seemed to have all her energy drained, and her voice suddenly sounded a little weak.

The people in the apartment, who had just relaxed, were on edge again. They simply couldn't understand how Nuolan had figured it out!

But now is not the time to figure this out. If Nuolan continues talking, she will probably see through everything soon!

But now, Youyou is clearly powerless to resist.

Situation—Dangerous!

As expected, Nuolan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Tang Youyou's words: "Really?"

Tang Youyou opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to say, and the words got stuck in her throat.

"Why do I have a feeling that these performances today have some other meaning?"

"..."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Nuolan's face, everyone's emotions became extremely tense, as if she was about to guess something.

But just then, suddenly—

"boom!"

A loud thud interrupted Nuolan's thoughts and everyone's tension. Looking over, they saw Zhang Wei's head lying motionless in the plate.

Mo Lan, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly nudged him, "Zhang Wei? Are you drunk?"

Seeing that he didn't react, Moran had no choice but to support Zhang Wei and prevent his face from lying on the plate. But when Zhang Wei's face was lifted up, everyone was startled.

"Wow! What sexy lips!" Lu Ziqiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Those are two sausages, aren't they?!"
