That question hit a sore spot for her.
If it wasn’t for tomorrow’s filming, she would not have embarrassed herself in front of him.
“But can you act?”
“Although I haven’t tried it before, I’m not entirely clueless. I can still catch hold of the feelings you portrayed when acting.”
“Alright, let’s begin then.” Having someone to rehearse with her was way better than rehearsing alone towards an empty space.
Taking in a deep breath, she tried to erase the lingering awkwardness from her mind and recalled the lines to recite.
“Why do you not love me, what does she have that I don’t? Do you even know... ”
Lu Lixing nodded. “I know.”
“You know? So all along you have been using me?”
“Yes.”
“Has it ever crossed your mind that I would help you if you told me the truth? Why did you just lie and use me! Lu Xichen...”
“Stop,” Lu Luxing called. “It’s not ‘Lu Xichen’, it’s ‘Lu Lixing’.”
Ji Qingqing muttered, “The male lead is Lu Xichen, not you.”
Lu Lixing got up from the sofa and rolled his sleeves. “I also need to get into character,” he insisted.
“All right, all right,” Ji Qingqing took a deep breath and started again.
“No, it’s not in there. My apologies. I got carried away when I saw you acting in such an enthralled manner.
This sentence somewhat seemed to be praising her acting skills?
“Then, earlier, why did you call me...” Ji Qingqing thought of those two words. She could feel her ears burning flusteredly, it was too embarrassing for her to say it.
“...Call me that? In the past, did you often tell Aunt Pei’s dog you love it?”
She suddenly remembered what Lu Lixing mentioned before. The dog Aunt Pei took care of previously, wasn’t it called Baby?
An image of Lu Lixing hugging a snowy white dog and saying ‘I love you’ popped up in her mind, causing her to shudder.
Hearing what she said, Lu Lixing gave an awkward cough. Nevertheless, he maintained a composed front. “Do you want to know?”
Ji Qingqing nodded.
“I’ll tell you after you respond.”
Ji Qingqing looked at him, puzzled.
“Baby.”
Ji Qingqing, “!!!”
Lu Lixing’s brows tightened. “Reply to me.”
“Ah?” Ji Qingqing subconsciously asked.
After realizing what just happened, a warm flush spread from her feet to the top of her head. Ji Qingqing felt as if her whole body was burning.
