56: Chapter 56 Jiang Miaozhu's Threat and Invitation

Su Lingyin's room.

"Xiaxia, I want to ask you for a favor."

Xia Ningle was feeling happy because she finally received a text message today.

Even though it was very brief.

But she could guess who sent it to her; it should be Xiao Wenhan, barring any surprises.

Looking at those few words, she couldn't help but recall Xiao Wenhan's bashful smile and his embarrassment when he stepped on her foot.

"Xiaxia?"

"Ah? Su Su, what did you say?"

"I said you've fallen in love," Su Lingyin teased.

Xia Ningle's collagen-filled cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she said bashfully, "Oh, you're just making fun of me."

"Look at you, you're just like a young girl in love."

"Ah, am I?" Xia Ningle quickly covered her cheeks.

They were so hot!

Could she really have fallen for Xiao Wenhan?

Impossible.

How could she fall for someone so easily?

"By the way, Su Su, what did you want to see me about?"

Su Lingyin said seriously, "I want to ask you for a favor, it's..."

Xia Ningle nodded repeatedly, and as she listened, a sly, fox-like smile appeared on her face as she teased:

"You're talking about me, but aren't you the same?"

"So you admit you like Xiao Wenhan then?"

"You!"

Xia Ningle's eyes darted around: "Then do you admit you like Chen Yu?"

"I admitted that long ago," Su Lingyin said poised and generously, without a hint of embarrassment.

Instead, it was Xia Ningle who became embarrassed.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore; after all, I still need the lovely Xiaxia to help me."

Xia Ningle wrinkled her nose and said, "Hmph, as long as you know."

She stood with her hands on her hips, her haughty appearance just like a little princess.

...

Chen Yu was just about to go to sleep at night.

Beside him, Shen Yanzhou was tossing and turning, rolling around like a maggot.

"Old Shen, did you catch a virus?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Shen Yanzhou stopped rolling.

"I said, did you catch a virus?"

"You're the one with a virus! I just have things on my mind, you wouldn't understand!"

"Fine, I won't say more. I'm going back to rolling—ptui! I'm going back to thinking about things."

Then, knock knock knock, the sound of someone at the door rang out.

Shen Yanzhou launched himself upward.

Because they were filming the show, they dressed relatively conservatively.

"Someone's looking for me!" Shen Yanzhou ran to open the door with confidence.

He almost forgot to put on his slippers.

He opened the door.

"Miaozhu?!"

"How is it you?"

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Miaozhu gave a gentle smile.

Shen Yanzhou instantly forgot his discouragement from earlier and was fully recharged.

"You must be here for me, right? I'm not asleep yet. Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and accompany..."

"I'm looking for Chen Yu."

It was the same smile, but now it seemed like that of a wicked witch.

Bullet Screen:

[If I were Shen Yanzhou, I'd jump off the second floor right now. I'd make her feel guilty for the rest of her life.]

[If you jump, even if you're lucky, you'll just be seriously injured. It'll only make yourself suffer.]

[Same smile, different mood.]

[How can the word 'tragic' even begin to describe Shen Yanzhou!]

[Stop talking, brother. Drink this cup of 'Water of Forgetfulness'!]

Shen Yanzhou's smile was forced: "Haha, I was just making a little joke. I knew you were here for Chen Yu."

He turned around and bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying.

He looked up at the ceiling.

Someone once said that when you want to cry, if you look up at the sky, the tears won't fall.

"Chen Yu, Jiang Miaozhu is looking for you."

Jiang Miaozhu: He just called me Miaozhu a moment ago.

As expected, men, when they can't have it, they...

"Are you okay?"

Chen Yu looked at Shen Yanzhou, who looked like he was having angina.

"I'm fine, I just... my heart hurts."

"You're still young, you wouldn't understand."

"I don't want to understand either."

Seeing that Shen Yanzhou could still joke, Chen Yu figured it wasn't a big deal.

Then he lazily got up.

"Is something the matter?"

"Were you asleep?"

"About to be."

"Then it seems I've come at an inopportune time," Jiang Miaozhu teased.

What she didn't expect was that Chen Yu actually nodded!

Even the bullet screen sympathized with her:

[Chen Yu really is a total 'steel straight man'!]

[I'm a girl, and I love guys like this. They're only nice to the person they like and cold to everyone else. It gives such a sense of security!]

[I'm that kind of guy too, only nice to the person I like. For example, Ruan Wanbai, Zhu Peizhen, Yan Caixuan, Yu Mengfei, Ling Lingmei, Shi Manni...]

Jiang Miaozhu's face also felt a bit stiff.

So she said briefly: "I'm asking you out tomorrow. Do you have time?"

"No time."

"The Production Team said you can't refuse."

"Then go talk to the Production Team."

"Am I really that annoying?"

"No, I just don't like you, that's all."

"Even if you don't like it, you'll have to bear with it. Tomorrow morning at nine, I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

"Don't mention your live streaming; your streams are all in the afternoon."

"You even know about that?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

Chen Yu nodded: "Not necessarily. Sometimes knowing yourself and your enemy still leads to repeated defeats."

"You're saying I'll fail."

"At least with me, that's how it is."

"I think it's better if you don't waste this date opportunity," Chen Yu advised.

Jiang Miaozhu smiled: "You just think I'm pestering you, don't you."

"How about this? Tomorrow will be our closure. After that, I won't pester you anymore. If you don't go, well, you know... we'll see if I can ruin your relationship with Su Lingyin."

"You mean it?"

Jiang Miaozhu nodded: "A gentleman's word is his bond."

"But you're not a gentleman," Chen Yu said precisely.

He wasn't giving Jiang Miaozhu any chance to go back on her word.

"Fine!" Jiang Miaozhu said fiercely.

"Chen Yu, you really are heartbreaking!"

"You'll never get a girlfriend acting like this!"

Chen Yu smiled and said nothing.

"Fine, don't forget to wait for me downstairs tomorrow."

"Got it."

Chen Yu also wanted to get rid of Jiang Miaozhu's pestering; after all, there was still a long time left in The Cottage.

Most importantly, he had signed a contract with the Production Team, and violating the rules would require a large compensation.

Sigh, there was no way to blame the Production Team either. After all, what normal man would refuse a date with a girl?

Except for a good man who keeps himself pure like him!

After thinking about it, Chen Yu went to the door of Su Lingyin's room.

Their rooms were very close.

Just across a hallway.

Chen Yu's knock startled Xia Ningle because she was currently pressed against the door listening to the sounds outside.

It sounded like a man and a woman talking, but she couldn't hear the specific content.

She couldn't even be sure who it was.

Some viewers were speculating: who is Chen Yu going to see?

Could he be going to show off?

When Chen Yu arrived at Su Lingyin's door, they still couldn't believe it.

[Chen Yu wouldn't want to show off in front of Su Lingyin just to make her feel nervous, would he?]

Xia Ningle looked flustered, like a student caught cheating.

"Ahem, who is it?"

"It's Chen Yu!"

"What are you here for?"

"I'm here for Su Su."

"Then wait a moment!"

By the time Xia Ningle turned around, Su Lingyin had already gotten up from the bed.

With such a loud voice, she had heard everything.

Not just her, but Jiang Miaozhu, who had just returned to her room, heard it too.

What did this mean?

She quietly opened a crack in the door and leaned in to listen.
