Chapter – 72

“Why does this lemonade look a little familiar?” Qin Shiyue’s attention was indeed drawn to the lemonade in Lin Qingyi’s hand. She could not help asking.

“Baby brought it in the afternoon. Didn’t Bai Wenxi help me receive it? I’m thirsty now, so it’s just right.” Lin Qingyi took a sip and realized the lemon had probably soaked for too long.
Ah… it was a bit too sour. Lin Qingyi felt that this cup of lemonade was mocking her, hinting at her mood this afternoon. She decided she would not drink lemonade anymore for a while.

“Didn’t you look down on it this afternoon and choose Kong Huizhi’s drink instead?” Qin Shiyue snorted again.

“She’s your ex-wife. I accepted her drink for your sake. We’re closer, so we don’t need to care about such formalities,” Lin Qingyi said smoothly, coaxing her without any flaw.

Sure enough, this pleased Qin Shiyue. She especially liked it when Lin Qingyi said they were closer. That fit her understanding of their relationship. But if there was a next time, she still wouldn’t like Lin Qingyi choosing someone else first.

“I don’t want that kind of closeness. I want you to care about formalities!” Qin Shiyue said. Anyway, next time she had to get priority.

“Then next time, I’ll choose Baby first,” Lin Qingyi continued to coax her.

Lin Qingyi’s promise instantly improved Qin Shiyue’s mood. It didn’t matter whether Lin Qingyi was straight or not. Anyway, they were relatively close, and she naturally had some special privilege.

“Oh right, Baby, next time don’t bring lemonade. Bring honey water instead,” Lin Qingyi added. For now, she didn’t want anything sour.

“Where is a female actress’s self-discipline?” Qin Shiyue thought. It was already good enough that she brought lemonade, and she was still being picky.

“The honey water Baby brings will definitely be especially sweet,” Lin Qingyi said.

“Lin Qingyi, you’re so greasy!” Qin Shiyue complained, but in her heart, she still liked that slightly cheesy line.

Greasy!? It was rare for her to say sweet words to someone, and this woman actually called it greasy. No wonder this woman couldn’t chase girls!

“Then why did you call me here?” Qin Shiyue still had a little curiosity left.

“Don’t I rehearse scenes with you every night?” Since the quarrel was fake, rehearsing was routine.

“Can you speak properly? If it’s just rehearsal, why make it so mysterious?” Qin Shiyue felt like she had been tricked again.

“You were angry and wouldn’t come over, so I thought of a small method,” Lin Qingyi explained.

“Who made me angry? Whose fault was it?” Qin Shiyue snorted coldly. She was still unhappy about Lin Qingyi suddenly turning cold earlier. She would probably bring this up for a long time.

Chapter 43

“My fault. This time I was wrong, okay?” Lin Qingyi softened her tone and continued coaxing her. Being able to enjoy her personal coaxing service—this ‘vase’ was really one of a kind.

“It was your fault to begin with. I’ll reluctantly forgive you this time. Don’t let it happen again,” Qin Shiyue said. Seeing Lin Qingyi admit her mistake, she felt better and officially forgave her.

“This is the grace of someone who will become a Best Actress in the future!” Lin Qingyi said with a smile.

“That doesn’t sound like a compliment. It sounds more like you’re laughing at me,” Qin Shiyue said honestly. Her acting was still very far from being Best Actress. If she could just get rid of the label of ‘acting black hole’ and ‘number one vase in the entertainment industry,’ she would already be happy.

It was indeed hard for a vase to become Best Actress. But becoming the woman of a Best Actress was much easier.

“I mean it. Baby added that extra bit to the scene just now so well!” Lin Qingyi added lightly. She had almost taken the bait just now. No—she had already taken the bait, but this foolish woman had thrown it away directly.

“Are you angry?” Qin Shiyue heard the slight emotion in Lin Qingyi’s words and felt a little happy.

“I’m praising Baby’s acting,” Lin Qingyi refused to admit she was angry. At least she couldn’t admit it to this vase.

“You tricked me so many times. Can’t I return the favor once in a while?” Qin Shiyue gently bumped her shoulder against Lin Qingyi’s.

Her action was a gesture of making peace, but her attitude was proud.

“As long as you’re happy.” Lin Qingyi didn’t want to continue this topic. She also felt strange—she had actually fallen to the lower hand for once.

“Then shall we start rehearsing now?” Qin Shiyue asked.

“Not today. Let’s pick a movie to watch. I’ll explain it to you.” Probably because Qin Shiyue added too much to the scene just now, Lin Qingyi didn’t feel like acting anymore tonight.

“Okay.” Qin Shiyue actually knew that acting in this idol drama, where she was basically playing herself, didn’t truly improve her acting skills. It was like doing the same type of practice questions again and again. Once the question type changed, she would probably panic. So watching a movie and learning about acting techniques was like starting a new type of question. She was quite looking forward to it.

Qin Shiyue actively went to turn on the large screen in the presidential suite, looking very enthusiastic.

“Which movie?” she asked curiously.

“Against the Current,” Lin Qingyi said, already sitting on the sofa.

Some time ago, Qin Shiyue had watched all of Lin Qingyi’s movies. When she heard the title, she was not unfamiliar with it at all. This woman was really narcissistic—she actually chose her own movie as an example. Qin Shiyue had thought she would at least use some classic foreign film as a model.
