Lu Liruan: I'm sorry, I was being petty and judging you by my own standards...

This was probably the first time in all his years that Fu Tingshen had been suspected of threatening someone with this thing, and his expression was unpredictable.

"Hahaha... Ah, he paid me."

"Ah."

"Then I'll go ask him later," Lu Liruan said dryly, as if she were digging a Barbie castle out of the ground.

"What if Jingyun... doesn't accept?" Fu Ting pondered for a moment before asking.

“Jingyun has her own thoughts, just respect them. She’s not your subordinate or your pet. You can’t make her stop being angry just because you want her to.” Lu Liruan thought to herself, being your girlfriend is actually quite unlucky.

If I didn't know that Shi Jingyun liked you, I would definitely have advised her to run away.

"No matter what she does, you have to show your attitude. Once she senses your change, maybe she'll make up with you."

"Thank you."

"No need, no need..." Lu Liruan was flattered.

“If you need anything, the Fu family…” Fu Tingshen stopped mid-sentence, as if realizing something, and didn’t finish his sentence.

Lu Liruan: ?

Seriously, bro... don't you know there are differences between people?

I don't have such noble virtues!

I am corrupted by wealth, swayed by poverty, and subdued by power! What were you about to say? Finish your sentence!

Looking at the faint sense of pride in Fu Tingshen's eyes.

Lu Liruan: You think you did a pretty good job, huh? LOL...

When Lu Liruan returned to her room, Fu Tingshen had already made her less sleepy.

From the balcony, you can see light shining from Cheng Nianzhi's room next door, and soft, soothing music drifts in from Lu Liruan's slightly ajar window.

Looking over there, Lu Liruan suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility; Cheng Nianzhi always had a comforting quality.

It's as if wherever he is, the surrounding environment becomes gentle; some people's temperament is something that others can never imitate.

Lu Liruan stood there for two minutes before finally strutting out the door.

After a knock, the door opened, and Cheng Nianzhi, wearing gray and white striped pajamas, stood backlit. He looked somewhat surprised to see Lu Liruan.

"Li Ruan?"

Lu Liruan herself didn't realize that in the few seconds she waited for Cheng Nianzhi to open the door, her previous anxious and depressed mood vanished completely. Being with Cheng Nianzhi was subconsciously a stress-free experience.

Lu Liruan was holding a bunch of fluffy dolls in her arms, pink, blue, yellow... all sorts of colors surrounding her little face as she leaned closer.

"These are the spoils we got together. Pick whichever you like~"

Lu Liruan reached out and handed them over, but because she was holding too many, one fell and they all fell, rolling into Cheng Nianzhi's room with a gurgling sound.

"Ah!" Lu Liruan clutched the last yellow star, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Li Ruan, come in first..." Cheng Nianzhi bent down, picked up a pink strawberry doll, held it in his arms, and gestured for Lu Li Ruan to come in.

A gentle essential oil lamp burned by the bedside, and a piano piece played softly to the last note from a small speaker, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"You really know how to live well," Lu Liruan exclaimed sincerely.

"Hmm?" Cheng Nianzhi took a carton of sweet milk from the mini-fridge and placed it next to Lu Liruan. It was Lu Liruan's favorite banana flavor.

"You mean all this? My sleep quality isn't very good, so using some aids will help me relax more easily," Cheng Nianzhi explained as he saw Lu Liruan examining the essential oil lamp.

The room, already soft and inviting, was made even more cozy by the various dolls scattered around. Lu Liruan sat on the sofa, her chin resting on a doll, watching Cheng Nianzhi's figure and the atmosphere of the room blend seamlessly together.

"Does Li Ruan have something to say to me?" Cheng Nianzhi could tell what she was thinking.

“Um… I just ran into Brother Fu. He said you paid the housekeeper for the money you spent on cutting the turf.” Lu Liruan tucked her knees in.

"You're talking about this..."

"I'm the one who broke it. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

Seeing Lu Liruan's resolute tone, Cheng Nianzhi deliberately raised his eyebrows, and then saw the girl's expression become more and more solemn.

"Won't it be exorbitantly priced?"

Cheng Nianzhi was amused by her: "No, you don't need to give it to me. We're a group, so it's my responsibility that you damaged the grass."

"No way! I can't just take advantage of you like that!" Lu Liruan weighed her account balance and cried out in her heart: I'm bankrupt! I'm bankrupt!

"How about Li Ruan repays me in another way?" Cheng Nianzhi said softly, and Lu Li Ruan was completely unaware of the seductive trap he was setting.

"In what way?"

“The director I’m currently working with watched our show and said you’re a perfect fit for the role in his next project. He hopes I can persuade you to meet him,” Cheng Nianzhi said sincerely.

"Huh? Really? Me?" Lu Liruan never expected this to be the case and couldn't quite believe it for a moment.

"Why can't it be you?" Cheng Nianzhi asked, puzzled by her reaction.

Lu Liruan thought to herself, "I can't exactly say that because in the original storyline I was a nameless cannon fodder who was constantly being schemed against and never used my brain, can I?"

"I've never acted in a movie before..."

"Uh—" Lu Liruan was startled when Cheng Nianzhi suddenly brought his face close to hers before she could finish speaking.

Cheng Nianzhi scrutinized Lu Liruan's face intently through her freshly washed and smoothed bangs, tracing every detail of her features with his gaze until Lu Liruan couldn't help but want to hide.

Cheng Nianzhi pressed down on her shoulder, his tone firm and convincing: "Li Ruan is very suitable. I've seen the role, and Li Ruan is really perfect for it."

Lu Liruan knew this face was beautiful, but being praised so sincerely and earnestly still made her blood rush to her head.

"It's just a meeting. Li Ruan can take a look at the script and learn about the character before making a decision," Cheng Nianzhi continued.

"Okay...when?"

"How about Li Ruan comes to visit me on set this week?" Cheng Nianzhi smiled warmly and generously, the curve of her eyes spreading out and fine lines appearing on the skin of her nose.

Under the lights, every detail of his expression revealed undisguised joy.

Perhaps because the environment was too relaxed, Lu Liruan dropped the plush toy in her hand when she came to her senses, and just stared blankly at the other person.

Cheng Nianzhi has been using the art of attracting people since he was a child to the point that it's become second nature. Anyone he wants to get close to is bound to be attracted to him.

He looked intently at Lu Liruan: "If you look at me like that, will you fall in love with me?"

Lu Liruan snapped out of her daze, coughed to cover it up, took a sip of banana milk, and seeing that Cheng Nianzhi's expression was normal, she assumed that he hadn't noticed her absent-mindedness.

"Ah! But we have to record a show this week!" Lu Liruan realized.

“Anyway, Li Ruan doesn’t have anything else to do, so it’s fine to bring a camera. We can use it as footage for Li Ruan’s filming.” Cheng Nianzhi was very understanding.

Lu Liruan thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
