Xu Qingyan was feeling quite frustrated, sandwiched between his left and right guardians.
No movement, taking a hit from each side.
Forget it, he couldn't afford to provoke either side, so he had no choice but to keep his head down and reply to messages in the private chat.
"It's definitely all Ji Chen's fault, I can't see any benefit for Bai Jinze to get rid of me unless he just wants to blow up the show. There is no way someone didn't promise him something, I won't believe it if I'm killed."
The truth isn't important, finding out the truth requires evidence, whereas counterattacking only needs a list of names.
When Xu Qingyan was unhappy, any stray dog that dares to bare its teeth was bound to get a beating. Life is short, so a gentleman's revenge is best served swiftly.
Shen Jinyue sneaked glances at Lin Wanzhou and the others, suddenly feeling a bit melancholic. But as she was always hesitant about these things, she felt too embarrassed to speak up.
That was just the type of person she was, often driven to tears by her own stupidity but never willing to beat herself up.
Every time she thought about studying, she fantasized about hiring a hitman to supervise her, one to hold a knife to her throat, but not to actually kill, just to scare her.
Though she talks about wanting to die every day, she actually cherishes her life a lot.
Pei: "Don't be impulsive."
Xu: "I'm not being impulsive, and I haven't done anything, just mentioned it in passing."
Lin: "Xi Liang has too many brain-dead fans."
Xu: "I know, I won't mess with Ji Chen easily. The new song is more important. Besides, I've got something on after the love reality show ends, and I don't want to have dealings with top celebrities."
There was a moment of silence in the chat group, and after he sent those few messages, nobody spoke.
Lin Wanzhou felt somewhat guilty, thinking it must have been her who offended Ji Chen on the plane, bringing all this trouble to Xu Qingyan. In hindsight, she should have ignored him then.
Pei Muchan's eyes lowered as she sipped her drink, a hint of regret flickering in her eyes. If only she hadn't taken that call then, Ji Chen wouldn't be acting so crazily now.
After playing three rounds of Werewolf, it was already six in the afternoon.
Bai Jinze's patience was nearly at its limit, constantly targeted by Xu Qingyan, who insinuated that Bai Jinze might be the werewolf whenever he got the chance.
His heart was damn filthy, deliberately not giving Bai Jinze time to think.
As he looked towards Xu Qingyan, he noticed Pei Muchan's hand resting on his. Lin Wanzhou sat close to him, looking down at her phone, seemingly drunk as well.
The two occasionally had small physical interactions, and the expressions of the others in the room were quite subtle.
Shen Jinyue, who could handle her liquor, glanced over at the three sitting nearby, opened her mouth to possibly ask something, but then didn't seem to know what to say—maybe everyone was drunk.
You Zijun, holding the card of a good person, was speaking, his gaze occasionally shifting towards the small commotion among the three on the sofa. It was a heart-pounding scene; the two small empresses must be drunk. Your next chapter is on m v|l-e'-novelhall.net
Nian Shuyu, seeing Lin Wanzhou also pinch Xu Qingyan's right hand, twitched slightly, probably drunk. A whirlpool churned inside him, feeling an awkward sense of shame from watching others flirt right in front of him.
Luckily, everyone seemed drunk... probably.
Liu Renzhi averted his gaze, trying not to look anymore. Though he was now with Nian Shuyu and knew he had no chance, he still couldn't help feeling jealous subconsciously.
"What are you drinking, let me see," mumbled Pei Muchan, reaching to grab the beer from Xu Qingyan's hand, only to be blocked by him.
"Help me open this," Lin Wanzhou passed a can of beer to Xu Qingyan.
"Sure."
After all that, Xu Qingyan looked up at Bai Jinze lazily.
Their gazes locked in mid-air, Bai Jinze not wanting to show he cared, yet his facial muscles trembled ever so slightly.
When he turned his head back and saw Xu Qingyan's smug look, his defenses completely shattered.
The live feed comments scrolled wildly, and people in the celebrity observation room stood up, exclaiming in surprise.
