Chapter 20: 020

Chapter 20

From the hotel, Su Ci decided to take a leisurely stroll alone.

She found the surroundings quite familiar. The environment in the book should have been described by the author based on real life, as many famous landmarks existed and were in the same locations as in her original world.

This world wouldn't make her feel too alien.

The afternoon sun was scorching. After walking for a while, Su Ci felt both thirsty and tired. She pushed open the door of a nearby beverage shop and walked in.

The slender figure had already disappeared. He Ermeng watched the bustling street, kicking the tree trunk beside him forcefully, his eyes dark.

At that moment, his phone rang.

"Shen Jun said you saw Xiao Ci?" The man's voice on the other end was deep.

He Ermeng panted, his breathing unsteady, "Brother Yuan, this time I didn't misidentify her. The person I saw was definitely Su Ci."

His tone was certain, "Su Ci isn't dead."

On the other end, Su ZhiYuan was silent for a moment, "Where is she?"

He Ermeng wiped the sweat from his face. The little tyrant had never been so disheveled before. His voice lowered, "When I chased after her, she disappeared."

Su ZhiYuan spoke firmly, "I'll have someone investigate the nearby surveillance cameras."

It was a hot summer day, and the beverage shop was bustling with business.

Su Ci stood in line, and the two boys in front of her occasionally turned back to sneak glances at her. When their eyes met, one of them, a handsome boy, instantly blushed, wanting to strike up a conversation but was extremely shy.

This was the normal reaction boys had when they saw her.

Unlike Lu Zhe, who remained indifferent despite her stunning beauty constantly in his presence.

"Would you like to go ahead?" The boy in front mustered up the courage to talk to Su Ci, offering to let her cut in line.

Su Ci glanced at his reddening face and directly refused, "No, thank you."

The handsome boy's disappointment was evident as he withdrew his gaze.

Su Ci didn't care, and at that moment, someone tapped her on the back.

Behind her, a man in green clothes handed her a business card, "Hello, I'm a talent agent from Creation God Company. Are you interested in doing commercials?"

The man in green removed his sunglasses, satisfiedly examining the girl in front of him.

The entertainment industry wasn't short of beautiful actresses, but few were as stunning that one couldn't take their eyes off them. With such looks, if she entered the industry, others would only be background.

Discovering a promising talent, the man in green was a bit excited, "You've heard of Creation God Company, right? Xie Yinan and Zheng Hao, these two top actors, are from our company."

Su Ci looked at him with a hint of excitement and slowly said, "No, I haven't heard of them."

The book mainly focused on Zhao Youyou and Fu Baili's passionate love story, with no mention of the entertainment industry.

Moreover, it was unclear whether this man was a scammer.

After all, some scammers posed as agents, claiming to find models for commercials or magazines, targeting young girls on the street.

They would lure the girls to a so-called advertising company, make them take model cards, and then charge them a hefty fee to buy the cards, claiming that having the cards would make it easier for the girls to get more advertising jobs.

This was something she had heard from her assistant, who also mentioned that many girls fell for it, losing a lot of money.

It was unclear whether this man was a scammer.

"You've never heard of Xie Yinan?" The man in green looked shocked.

"No." Su Ci's gaze fell on the hand offering the card, noticing a red line on his wrist labeled: 9 hours.

She called out to Fu Gui, "How did this man die?"

Fu Gui: [Died in a drunk driving accident.]

Su Ci glanced at the man a few more times. Drunk driving?

She detested those who drove under the influence, as it was irresponsible for one's own and others' lives.

The man in green didn't expect a young person not to know Xie Yinan, as Xie Yinan was almost a household name.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know him. You just need to know that our company is very capable. If you enter the entertainment industry, we can definitely make you a star."

Su Ci had a good self-awareness. Even without the man's praise, she knew she would be a star if she entered the industry.

"So, are you interested?" The man in green looked at Su Ci with eager eyes.

Lu Zhe lowered his gaze.

The girl's hands were fair and slender, with her fingertips faintly pink under the light—there was no dust as she claimed.

With his cold, large hands, Lu Zhe easily gathered her small hands together, pushing them back along with the wet wipe into her own hands, his voice calm: "Wipe them yourself."

Su Ci was taken aback.

This man truly had no heart!

He had no desire!

Late at night, the entire city was immersed in darkness.

After taking a shower, Su Ci stepped out wearing the hotel's white disposable slippers, walking over to the bed where the boy was arranging the blankets.

Lu Zhe had indeed asked the hotel staff for an extra blanket, which he folded into a strip and placed in the middle of the bed.

Su Ci realized that the little pitiful one had a conservative heart. "I'm not worried that you'll do anything to me, why are you putting the blanket in the middle?"

Lu Zhe finished arranging the bed's boundary and replied, "I'm afraid you'll come over during the night."

Su Ci: ......

Hmph, I'm annoyed!

After Lu Zhe showered and came out, he saw Su Ci already lying in bed, her eyes closed, presumably asleep. Next to her, the blanket he had arranged was pushed to the side by the girl, leaving him only a narrow space.

With a helpless smile, he turned off the light.

Lu Zhe lay down in the space left by the girl.

Having gotten used to sleeping on a foldable bed, this narrow space was no problem for Lu Zhe.

He closed his eyes.

His muscles began to twitch, and Lu Zhe was used to this kind of twitching pain. However, he was surprised to find that the frequency of muscle twitching had decreased in recent days.

The night was deep.

The scent of the girl's warmth reached his nose, and Lu Zhe's eyes remained closed, waiting for the muscle twitching to stop.

At that moment, the sound of fabric rubbing came from beside him.

In the next instant, a soft touch pressed against him, and the girl suddenly snuggled into his embrace.

"Su Ci!"

"Here I am," Su Ci kicked the troublesome blanket away, which fell to the ground, and embraced Lu Zhe, her voice filled with laughter, "Lu Zhe, you forgot to kiss me. You only kissed me once today, and tomorrow at noon I'll turn back into a rabbit."

The girl's body was soft and pliant, as if boneless, leaning against him. Lu Zhe's jaw tightened. "Go back to sleep, I'll kiss you tomorrow."

Su Ci was dissatisfied. "Why wait until tomorrow? You'll be competing tomorrow."

Lu Zhe's muscles twitched, and the girl in his arms was extremely restless, slipping around like a fish. He tensed up all over and, in the darkness, kissed her haphazardly.

"Lu Zhe, you kissed the wrong place, you kissed my eye."

Lu Zhe's thin lips pressed together, and he kissed again, just as the girl turned her head.

Su Ci was wicked, accusing the boy, "You kissed the wrong place again, you kissed my neck."

Aliali: 67486ac8c4f3f33ac478693dLu Zhe gritted his teeth, feeling that the girl in his arms was even worse than a demon.

In the dim light, Su Ci's eyes curved with laughter. "Forget it, I'll kiss you."

Saying that, she raised her chin and her red lips accurately landed on the boy's cold lips.

Having good night vision as a rabbit, Su Ci felt she could see Lu Zhe's astonished expression clearly even in the dark.

She felt a little triumphant.

Her eyes narrowed, and the little teardrop mole was both alluring and captivating. Su Ci slightly parted her teeth, lightly biting Lu Zhe's lip, teasingly rubbing it with the tip of her teeth.

Ouch!

Lu Zhe wasn't sure if it was his twitching muscles or his heart throbbing.

He suddenly rolled over, pinning the girl beneath him.

His clear voice, for the first time, carried a tone of gritted teeth, "Su Ci!"
