+—- Author’s note —–+

December just started and there are so many golden tickets and powerstones already! Thank you very much for the great support you give me. ??

After asking her hubby, Bing Shi could see how Aoi Hong’s sudden lack of interest increased Li Jie’s sudden interest in this unusual girl, who built a great resistance against handsome men because of Quin Yu. Li Jie offered to pay Aoi Hong more than companies would normally do for a top-tier actress.

‘Was Aoi Hong that drunk? She doesn’t seem to recognize me at all.’

The scene would later focus on how Li Jie exchanged his ice cream with Aoi Hong’s.

Bing Shi, who had to work for free, gave the leaving Li Jie and Aoi Hong a sulking look as she scooped a blue monster flavored ice cream for herself. No acting required.

As they walked around the park while holding their hands, Li Jie sensed a threat and looked in Bing Shi’s direction. Shaking his head in confusion, he resumed his walking. This part was caught on the camera.

Bing Shi’s fourth scene...?

.....

Inside the hospital room, Li Jie was holding Aoi Hong in his arms as she breathed her last.

A door to the room opened as a female doctor rushed inside the room to save the dying body on the hospital bed while a group of nurses tried to separate Li Jie from Aoi Hong.

Alone in the room, a slender hand closed the eyes of the deceased girl, when the camera zoomed in on the doctor’s bottom face, her lips were curved up into a smile yet not a smile, it was sad but also not...

“CUT! CUT! CUT!” The director yelled out as he pointed at Bing Shi, “Is that supposed to be the grief of losing your patient?! It looked like an attempted murder! Again!”

“CUT! You looked like a student whose homework was chewed up by a dog! Too overdramatic!” he interrupted Bing Shi again. Both were amateurs, but their acting was like night and day. The melancholic Aoi Hong went into the character immediately as if she really went through cancer before, while Silika exaggerated her emotions too much. She knew what she was supposed to do, but It didn’t look natural at all!

“CUT! Just do the thing you did the first time, where you showed a little bit of anger!” the director ordered, pinching his forehead. When he thought about it, instead of mourning after the patient, it looked like she was angry at herself as a failure of a doctor.

Bing Shi took a deep breath, she looked up at the ceiling, hiding her emotions behind her pursed lips. She didn’t like this job as an actress at all. She wanted to be a director! A director who could boss people around!

“Good! Next scene!” The director let Bing Shi pass. There was something about this Silika that made others dance to her whims. What a hoe! A whole group of people tried to persuade him and Li Jie to let her act in two additional roles, so she could become a hidden female lead?! Who was the director, huh?! But thanks to their suggestions, this clip amassed a dark undertone. She could see what others couldn’t see, adding entirely new meanings to the song.

Bing Shi, the filler ice cream guy, and the filler doctor first tried to persuade the director’s assistant to give her their roles. If she ever got a footing in this industry, she would definitely give them a helping hand.

And so, with her persuasive skills, Bing Shi got two additional scenes in the video. ?

“Well done,” Li Jie praised Aoi Hong while a make-up artist touched up his face, “I’ll be inviting everyone for BBQ. Are you coming too?”

“I’m in a hurry, sorry.” Aoi Hong refused in reluctance. She just found out about her newfound love for acting, but there was a group of mafias waiting for her outside! Quin Yu would definitely shoot her down if he found out what she did today.

Bing Shi, who walked beside Aoi Hong nodded her head up and down, pretending that Li Jie spoke to her, “Really?!” She was his die-hard fan, of course, she had to behave like one, “I can come too?!”

Li Jie glanced at his crazy fan with an awkward smile. He didn’t want her in his private ‘only staff’ room, “Of course, I rented a whole restaurant for my fans only as a thank you for your hard work.”

“Does it mean you won’t be there?” Bing Shi’s expression turned into the student whose homework was chewed up by her dog.

“My company won’t allow it for safety reasons,” Li Jie answered with an apologetic expression.

“Mm, I understand,” Bing Shi nodded in understanding and ran away with her shoulders slumped, in case he wanted to change his opinion, she ran as fast as possible.

Li Jie felt a bit of pity, but noticing how people were about to record this drama on their phones, he refrained from chasing after his heartbroken fan.

Bing Shi hurriedly vanished from the stage to change her clothes and go home.

‘Showeeeeeeeer!’

The number of people who touched her today could be compared to the amount from all her lifetimes combined.

Inside his car, Quin Yu slid down his window to get a closer look at the familiar girl, who used the backdoor of the building. If the man chasing after her didn’t call out her name, he would have never connected this girl who held an idol’s jumper and flag with Lu Kai’s woman.

“Silika!” The ice cream guy ran after Bing Shi, thinking that she got heartbroken due to Li Jie refusing her confession. Because that’s how it looked from an outsider’s eye.

Bing Shi wanted to stomp her foot against the ground when she noticed Quin Yu’s vicious stare. The sea of people today were like vampires sucking at her blood. Looking around, there were still lots of escape routes. She continued to run, and run, and run until the ice cream guy gave up. When she reached an abandoned alleyway, the black sedan continued to follow her in a slow tempo.

Quin Yu decided to exploit the virgin boy’s weakness. Just by the thought that she was Lu Kai’s woman was a warning sign that she wasn’t a simple girl. But somehow, he refused to trust his intuition which told him to stay away from her. He wanted to show his might and power. He wanted to intimidate her, so she wouldn’t take him for a joke again.

“...” Bing Shi slowed down to catch her breath. Being calm didn’t always work. Against barbarians, being aggressive always seemed to be the way to go. When the sedan stopped next to her, she turned away and took off her backpack. Quickly pulling out a gun with a silencer, she pointed it at the front tire and pulled a trigger.

“You fucking bitch!” Quin Yu got out of the car and pulled out his gun to shoot at her.

“YOU ducking STALKER! STOP FOLLOWING ME OR I’M BLOWING UP YOUR CAR NEXT!” Bing Shi yelled out. Continuing to run, she raised her hand with her phone to take a video of him holding the same gun as her. “I HATE BULLIES! I HATE STALKERS! DEATH TO ALL RAPISTS! As for the tire damage, my lawyer will contact you for the repair cost!”

“??,” Quin Yu kicked at his tire when she disappeared from his sight, all flustered and embarrassed. ‘What? Is she going to accuse me of destroying my own tires?!’ While waiting for people to fetch him, he got a phone call and picked it up, “She is far from the docile wife you described.”

“What did you expect after acting like an annoying pest? My wife thinks you’re involving yourself in my matters too much,” Lu Kai chuckled in amusement, a chuckle that didn’t reach his eyes.

Quin Yu swung both ways. Males, females, it didn’t matter to this underworld BOSS. Lu Kai told Bing Shi how Quin Yu used to harass him due to his ‘virgin boy’ vibes, and how it ended in Quin Yu’s destroyed illusions.

“You two got married?” Quin Yu’s asked suspiciously. Something about Lu Kai changed. Didn’t they meet each other like a month ago?

“Mm, I wanted to marry her at first sight,” answered Lu Kai in a laid back manner, nothing would stop Quin Yu from probing his nose where he shouldn’t, “We agreed to marry the next day.”

‘The next day?!’ Quin Yu clutched his phone. In the past, others would beg to be bedded by him. Whenever he wanted someone, he would get that person, there were no exceptions. The nerdy Lu Kai was a hidden freak in reality. The aphrodisiac he prepared for Lu Kai didn’t seem to work. Even worse, that teen made him swallow the aphrodisiac... Lu Kai made him beg for sex. He would pay anything to erase that shameful act from Lu Kai’s head.

“Didn’t I say something about staying away from Silika Lin? This time, she took care of it by herself, but keep bothering her again if you have the guts to take the two of us at the same time,” Lu Kai warned lightly, implicating about a particular thing only Quin Yu knew about.
