Quick Transmigration: Passerby A Gets Entangled with the Male Lead

Jiang Youbai couldn't understand it. Based on his understanding of He Zhiyao, she had always been the most susceptible to his charms, so why was she completely unresponsive today?

Could it be that he had done it too many times and she had seen through it? That shouldn't be the case! He was still confident in his acting skills, and Jiang Youbai's brows furrowed tightly.

He Zhiyao stared intently at Jiang Youbai, only to see that his usually handsome face now showed a hint of pitifulness, his brows furrowed slightly, which was quite different from his usual personality.

Jiang Youbai's deep and bright eyes cautiously looked at He Zhiyao again, and their gazes met instantly.

A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in Jiang Youbai's eyes.

It's worth noting that he's an experienced actor who has worked in the film and television industry for many years, having starred in countless critically acclaimed and commercially successful movies. He's adept at handling various roles and scenes with ease.

However, for some reason, every time his eyes met He Zhiyao's, an indescribable feeling would well up in his heart, as if a thousand thoughts were intertwined, making it impossible for him to sort them out.

Looking at the man in front of her who was feigning pitifulness, He Zhiyao shook her head helplessly and sighed softly, saying, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already made up all this stuff in your head!"

Despite saying this, He Zhiyao knew perfectly well that Jiang Youbai was mostly pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy after spending so much time with him. But even so, she could never bring herself to be ruthless towards him.

Hearing He Zhiyao's words, Jiang Youbai tried hard to suppress the surging joy in his heart and make his voice sound as steady as possible, but he still couldn't hide his happiness: "Then you..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, seemingly waiting for He Zhiyao's response.

He Zhiyao slowly said, "This is a one-time exception, and there won't be another one."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Youbai's face blossomed into a bright smile, as radiant as spring flowers. She was as excited as a child, and couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp He Zhiyao's hand, cheering happily, "Haha, I knew you would agree!"

He Zhiyao, who had been captured, simply looked at Jiang Youbai quietly. She saw that his expression changed so naturally, as if everything was so seamless.

This made her recall that day at her home, when he was crying and looked so pitiful. Was he faking it too?

He Zhiyao subconsciously rubbed her temples, sighing inwardly.

The most terrifying thing is that even though she knows Jiang Youbai is pretending to be pitiful, she still can't bring herself to ignore him.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Youbai keenly noticed that He Zhiyao was constantly pinching and rubbing her brow with her fingers, her face showing concern and worry, and asked softly.

"It's nothing..." He Zhiyao wanted to respond casually.

What she really wanted to say was: Just stop acting so strangely and stop pretending to be pitiful!

But in the end, he didn't say it.

At this moment, Jiang Youbai seized the opportunity to speak up: "The movie is wrapping up tonight. Why don't you come with me to the wrap party later? I'm not very familiar with the other people in the crew."

After he finished speaking, he looked at He Zhiyao with anticipation, his eyes filled with earnestness.

“You can choose not to go.” He Zhiyao looked at Jiang Youbai expressionlessly, secretly sighing that this guy really knew how to push his luck.

However, Jiang Youbai did not give up. He held He Zhiyao's hand tightly and gently shook it from side to side, while making a sound that sounded like he was being coquettish.

"Oh dear, it's because I always made excuses to turn down parties before, so this time I have to give the director face no matter what. Please, just come with me! We'll leave after a little while, okay?"

"You're leaving after a short while?"

"I promise!" Jiang Youbai held up three fingers as if making a vow.

Starlight

When Jiang Youbai and He Zhiyao arrived late, almost everyone present had already arrived.

Despite their lateness, not a single person present dared to utter a single complaint.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the woman next to Jiang Youbai.

Even the director couldn't contain his curiosity. He'd never seen anyone attend a wrap party with an assistant before, and he asked first, "And this is...?"

Jiang Youbai smiled slightly and replied casually, "Oh, this is my girlfriend, He Zhiyao."

Hearing Jiang Youbai introduce himself like that, He Zhiyao's face instantly darkened. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard, and with a seemingly calm but threatening smile, she leaned close to Jiang Youbai's ear and whispered, "Look at what you've just said?"

Jiang Youbai felt a sharp pain at first, but after He Zhiyao calmed down a bit, she carefully pulled her hand off her waist.

Then, he put on an utterly innocent expression, as if he had said something wrong, and said in a low voice, "I forgot, I'll definitely be careful next time." But there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

In response to Jiang Youbai's words, He Zhiyao gave a forced smile, her eyes clearly revealing her dissatisfaction with him.

Seeing this, Jiang Youbai hurriedly tried to salvage the situation by explaining again: "I'm sorry everyone, I misspoke just now. He Zhiyao is just my assistant."

As he spoke, the aggrieved expression on his face was exactly like that of a child being forced to change his words.

Upon hearing this, the others first showed expressions of shock, then exchanged knowing glances, all revealing an ambiguous "I understand, we all understand" look.

At this point, the assistant director suggested, "Now that everyone is here, let's sit down and raise a toast together, hoping for a surge in the film's box office."

Jiang Youbai glanced at the wine glass in front of He Zhiyao and noticed that it also contained wine. He frowned slightly, then raised his hand to call someone to bring some juice for He Zhiyao to change her palate.

However, at that moment, He Zhiyao seemed to realize his intention and quickly reached out to stop him.

To be honest, she had never drunk alcohol in her memory, but she considered herself to be a good drinker.

After hesitating for a long time, He Zhiyao gently picked up the glass of wine in front of her and carefully took a small sip.

Instantly, a spicy yet mellow flavor spread across her tongue, stimulating her taste buds.

The unique taste startled her slightly, but she quickly adapted and began to savor its wonderful qualities.

As the first glass of wine was successfully swallowed, the entire room seemed to be ignited, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Everyone was laughing and chatting, and the distance between them gradually shortened.

But He Zhiyao felt something was wrong after drinking the wine. Could she be a lightweight?
