Chapter 15

The atmosphere between Shen Xiaoyu and Shi Qiubai seemed very good, with the two of them chatting and laughing.

From discussing lunch to dinner, and then to the food they ate at home.

Shi Qiubai once again extended an invitation to Shen Xiaoyu, inviting her to come home and eat her parents' home-cooked meals.

In the past, these were words Shen Xiaoyu had said to Su Huan herself.

Before her debut, Shen Xiaoyu often brought food to school, using the excuse that she couldn't finish it and forcing it on her. Later, she learned that those meals were prepared by Shen Xiaoyu's mother at her insistence.

And after giving her lunch, Shen Xiaoyu herself would go hungry at noon.

Later, as the two became more familiar, Shen Xiaoyu always found opportunities to invite her to her home for meals, saying her mother was a good cook and wanted her to try.

Unfortunately, because of her busy schedule after debuting, not only did she not have time to visit Shen Xiaoyu's home, but Shen Xiaoyu also had no time to go home.

She had thought that after taking on a new artist, Shen Xiaoyu would spend some time at home, but she hadn't expected her to seamlessly transition to a new artist.

Su Huan listened intently to the conversation between the two, with no appetite for food, only the rising jealousy in her heart that made her teeth ache with sourness.

She wanted nothing more than to pull Shi Qiubai away and sit opposite Shen Xiaoyu herself, listening to her chattering and giving instructions on various matters.

Tang Tang glanced at the camera in the corner and affectionately picked up a piece of vegetarian beef with her chopsticks for Su Huan. "Senior Su, please eat something first. Sister Qin said porridge has been prepared and you can have some later."

Hearing this, Su Huan came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the two people enjoying themselves, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

She also picked up a piece of beef for Tang Tang, softening her voice and deliberately raising her tone, "Tang Tang, you should eat more too. Never starve yourself for the sake of losing weight."

Her words were pointed. "The filming itself is already quite draining. If you don't eat properly, you won't be able to handle it."

Tang Tang looked at her in shock, nodded with delighted surprise, her small face flushed with excitement.

"Thank you, Senior Su."

Just then, Qin Miao arrived with the porridge, diligently serving her a bowl. "Senior Su, you're not fully recovered from your illness. Drink more porridge."

Su Huan's lips twitched, forcibly suppressing her feelings of resistance, picked up the bowl, and smiled gently at Tang Tang.

Shen Xiaoyu heard the sound, turned her head, and saw this scene.

She raised her eyebrows high, seemingly somewhat surprised and curious, and couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand as she watched their interaction.

Perhaps the fans were right, Huan-Tang was real.

Sensing Shen Xiaoyu's gaze, Su Huan glanced at her from the corner of her eye, as if trying to provoke her anger, and became even more intimate in her interactions with Tang Tang.

However, upon seeing that Shen Xiaoyu had no reaction at all, a flash of anger appeared in her eyes, and her gaze toward Tang Tang became even more tender.

Tang Tang met her gaze, neither moving nor speaking, only feeling her heart rate accelerate, her breathing become heavier, and her blood flow faster.

Persistence truly yielded results, at least Su Huan was responding to her affection.

Perhaps in the future, the two of them could really be together.

Tang Tang bit her lip, feeling emotional, her eyes moist, every nerve in her heart excited for the future she imagined.

All day, the two stayed together.

Su Huan seemed to have undergone a transformation, becoming affectionate toward Tang Tang, taking care of her everywhere, protecting her in every way.

Even when going to the bathroom, they went together.

The director, rubbing his nearly bald head, seemed to realize something and whispered a few words to the assistant director. The next day, they changed the filming content.

Shi Qiubai, looking at the large sections of romantic scenes in the script, fell silent for a moment. "Sister, today is all about the romance between the two female leads. Does that mean I can rest?"

Shen Xiaoyu was also checking the shooting schedule. She realized that this production team's shooting style was quite casual.

"You go to the training ground. I'll keep an eye on the set. If there are any changes, I'll come find you."

Shi Qiubai had the same thought and immediately went to the training ground.

Shen Xiaoyu found a shady spot to stay, not too conspicuous, but where she could immediately see any news.

She thought she would have a whole day free, but she hadn't expected Su Huan to frantically seek attention in front of her, as if she were ill.

If she wasn't adjusting Tang Tang's hair accessories, she was filming videos with Tang Tang, and even actively invited Tang Tang to dinner together.

When Su Huan did these things, her eyes occasionally glanced at Shen Xiaoyu, as if observing her reaction.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyu's indifferent expression, Su Huan pressed her lips together and interacted with Tang Tang even more frequently. After the day's shooting ended, she walked with Tang Tang in front of Shen Xiaoyu several times, deliberately slowly, before finally leaving.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't understand, thinking Su Huan was just mentally unwell.

However, only after seeing the trending topics that night did she understand the meaning behind Su Huan's actions.

"When did Su Huan become such a vulgar person? Is this what they mean by 'one takes on the color of one's company'?" Shen Xiaoyu murmured, looking at the trending topics. "Indeed, that Qin Miao is not a good person, and her artists are all fond of taking shortcuts."

[Host, you're jealous.]

"Jealous my ass!" She laughed coldly. "Parading in front of me eight hundred times a day, she doesn't get tired of it, but I'm already annoyed. Even when surfing the internet, I have to see her name. When will this end?"

The system chuckled a couple of times, [You might fool me, but can you fool yourself? Do you dare say you're not even a little upset?]

Shen Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Of course I'm upset. I worked so hard to get Shi Qiubai on the trending topics. Now all of that day's work is wasted!"

Su Huan was indeed her nemesis.

The system laughed mockingly, [If your heart were as hard as your mouth, you would have completed the mission long ago!]

[Stop talking, let's start tonight's shock. If we don't continue, I'm going to bed.]

The system's electronic voice suddenly turned cold, [Shock countdown, ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!]

Although she was prepared, when the pain from the electric current instantly swept through her entire body, she cried out in agony.

Rapid breathing couldn't dispel the pain in her bones. Her hands clutched the bed sheets tightly. Tears of physiological response slid down the corners of her eyes. The excruciating pain made her wish she could die right then.

Meanwhile, Su Huan and Tang Tang, having finished dinner, also arrived at the hotel lobby.

Su Huan absent-mindedly played with her phone, occasionally glancing at the trending topics. After confirming that today's interactions with Tang Tang had spread across the internet, her mood gradually sank.

She couldn't believe that Shen Xiaoyu, who spent 18 out of 24 hours online every day, hadn't seen the trending topics.

But so much time had passed, and Shen Xiaoyu had shown no reaction at all. Could it be that she truly no longer cared about her?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Su Huan became. She even ignored Tang Tang, who was chattering incessantly beside her, and quickly entered the hotel.

No, she had to ask Shen Xiaoyu, at least get a definite answer.

Su Huan anxiously pressed the elevator button. While waiting for the elevator to come down, she took out her phone to call Shen Xiaoyu. As expected, it was still busy.

Tang Tang thought something had happened and quickly caught up to her, her expression also becoming serious.

"Sister Su Huan, what's wrong? Did something happen?" she asked.

After an evening of interaction, Tang Tang had changed her way of addressing Su Huan to "Sister Su Huan."

Originally, she had wanted to call her "Huan Huan" as before, but Su Huan had clearly stated that she didn't like this form of address.

No, her exact words were: "I don't particularly like others calling me that, especially you."

Tang Tang pretended not to hear the coldness and distance in her tone and continued to call her "Sister Su Huan" on her own.

For some reason, Su Huan had been distracted all evening and hadn't corrected her form of address again. Tang Tang took advantage, affectionately calling her "sister," even though Su Huan didn't respond at all.

Tang Tang stood beside her, tentatively trying to look at her phone. "If there's really something wrong, just go directly to Sister Qin. She's our manager and will help us solve all problems."

Su Huan ignored her. When the elevator arrived, she rushed in first. As Tang Tang was about to enter, Su Huan's gaze turned sharp.

"Get out!" she said coldly. "If there's nothing wrong, wait for the next one."

Tang Tang looked bewildered at the empty elevator. "But there's no one here, why..."

Su Huan didn't explain, closing the elevator door on her own, then pressing the button for her floor, her brows gradually furrowing.

The elevator quickly arrived. She strode out and didn't stop until she reached Shen Xiaoyu's door. Looking at the closed door, her heart began to pound rapidly.

Su Huan took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the door. "Shen Xiaoyu, open up!"

There was complete silence inside.

She knocked again, "Shen Xiaoyu, open the door! If you don't open it, I'll go to the front desk and get in myself."

She continued knocking, not caring if anyone saw her.

Inside the room, Shen Xiaoyu, who was being electrocuted, heard the sound and forced herself to open her eyes, her vision blurry as she stared at the ceiling, in so much pain that she couldn't even lift a finger.

At this hour, who was knocking on the door? Didn't they know they were disturbing the peace?

She tried to support herself to sit up, but her arms were so weak she couldn't exert any strength, let alone sit up.

But the knocking was like someone calling for her death, so irritating that she wanted to directly eliminate the person outside with one strike. If she knew who it was, she would definitely teach them a lesson!

Shen Xiaoyu took a deep breath, bit her lip, and sat up in one go, staggering toward the door.

[Can we negotiate? Can the electric current be smaller? At least let me deal with the person at the door.]

[That's not possible. This is set by the system, and no one can change it.]

Shen Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, cursing vilely in her heart.

The system's electronic voice became helpless, [Stop cursing, stop cursing, or you'll be censored.]

[Whose fault is that? Isn't it because of you, who has no feelings?] Shen Xiaoyu took two steps and gasped twice, looking at her violently trembling hands with some despair. [How can I see anyone like this?]

Seeing that she had almost reached the door, she held her breath to steady her shaking hands, straightened her back, and opened the door.

[If I could, I would really wish I had never met Su Huan.]
