Chapter 3, Hot Kiss? OH, NO!

No, I ... ...

An Jie Mo couldn't help but smile, and before he knew it, he became captivated, unable to take his eyes off.

Hearing the sound, Lin Chuxia turned her head slightly, looking at him inexplicably, and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

In particular, he noticed that the bashful Bai Shijiu before him was clearly well-dressed—her slightly curled long hair, white dress, and even light makeup.

Anjimo is looking forward to the concert this weekend

In the dim light, Lin Chuxia saw An Jiemo smiling at her as he approached

Intermediary

After turning on the faucet, hot water sprayed out from the showerhead, soaking her entire body. In an instant, steam filled the entire bathroom. Lin Chuxia tilted her head back, allowing the hot water to spray directly onto her face, and the warm sensation brought her memories into sharp focus

However, after An Jiamei's words "Eat up," Lin Chuxia's chopsticks, which had just reached out, were pulled back to their original position due to Gu Jiuyou's scorching gaze. Immediately, she watched in disbelief as the piece of meat that was supposed to be in her mouth was picked up by Bai Shijiu, who was sitting across from her, and then devoured bite by bite.

At this moment, An Jiemo finally realized that Lin Chuxia had already drunk three cups, and could not help but silently scold himself for allowing her to drink

Lin Chuxia, feeling utterly helpless, had no choice but to follow him out of the office

During the two hours of the evening, she actually had very little memory of it

There he was, An Jiemo had been sitting there for over ten minutes just staring at Lin Chuxia without eating anything. He directly ignored Gu Jiuyou's feigned calmness while keeping a close watch on Lin Chuxia, and picked up a large piece of pork knuckle to place in Lin Chuxia's bowl, saying: "Xiao Chuxia, try this, it tastes excellent! Also, do you eat lamb? Let me serve you some, it's not gamey."

A wary glance passed over the frowning Gu Jiu You, and An Jie Mo took the wine glass from Lin Chu Xia's hand first. The tone immediately lost its previous cheerfulness and liveliness, becoming somewhat somber as he said: "Xiao Chu Xia, it's better if you don't drink anymore"

nineteen

"Yes." Lin Chuxia lowered her head in a rather unremarkable manner, but she could not help but worry about whether she would starve to death next month. Therefore, she raised her head again and timidly asked, "But, Mentor Gu, where exactly did you arrange to have dinner? You know, as a student, I don't have much money to begin with, and now I am forced to..."

Bai Shijiu was using Gu Jiuyou as an excuse to remind Lin Chuxia, unaware that as her voice fell, Gu Jiuyou淡淡地接下了话, saying: "It doesn't matter, I am very open-minded. Moreover, this meal is hosted by Mr. An Jiemo, he calls the shots, I am just a freeloader."

In the conversation between the two individuals, aside from filming, the only other topic is online gaming. Neither of these subjects is of concern to Lin Chuxia. Moreover, she believes that satisfying her hunger is more important than idle chatter

Then, after a pause, he said tactfully: "My agent just called me, and I have to leave right away, I apologize"

That night, due to excessive nervousness, An Jiemo arrived at the sports hall where the concert was to be held a full half hour early, and then began a long and anxious wait

After Lin Chuxia lowered her head, the atmosphere became significantly more silent. At the dining table, the only sound left was that of Bai Shijiu, who was sulking and turning his sorrow and indignation into an incessant munching sound.

An Jiamei sang a song by Sodagreen titled "Little Love Song," and then called out to Lin Chuxia with the microphone: "Xiao Chuxia, stop eating, you should sing a song too"

04

At night, the mountaintop is filled with a desolate chill

Lin Chuxia was taken aback upon hearing this; when had she ever agreed to treat Gu Jiuyao to a meal?

Hello, wait! What has happened?

"Why?" Lin Chuxia said with a flushed face and a pout, "Are you afraid that I won't have enough money to pay the bill?"

At that moment, Bai Shijiu, who was biting into Dongpo pork, sighed with a hint of melancholy, but by the time he wanted to stop her, Lin Chuxia had already downed the third cup of wine.

At that moment, she also understood that it was indeed a misunderstanding

Do not think you can avoid revising the manuscript just because of the dinner gathering, revise it seriously, as I do not want to be late

However, Gu Jiuyou did not seem to have any doubts and directly began to flip through the script after taking it.

She could not help but let out a silent wail in her heart, and then she collapsed onto the table

She had never imagined that this date would yield such a heart-fluttering romance

Unbeknownst to him, at the very moment he turned around, Bai Shijiu could not help but shed tears

In an instant, An Jiemo was rendered speechless, while Bai Shijiu watched this scene, also keeping his mouth shut and saying nothing

He also contemplated what the first line of dialogue should be during their meeting to be sufficiently romantic, whether he should bring a large bouquet of red roses for her, and when would be the most appropriate moment to hold her hand

"Are you sick?" Gu Jiu You instinctively asked, noticing the mask on her face.

Well

"Just let her be, she sings like a duck quacking." Bai Shijiu laughed as he poked at Lin Chuxia's sore spot, then he randomly selected a duet love song and asked An Jiemo, "Do you know how to sing this song?"

After directly booking a K room, Lin Chuxia sat in front of a pile of delicacies. Although her mouth was stuffed with food, her hands were still busy moving left and right.

She ultimately did not enter the concert alone. After watching An Jiemo leave, she turned around and walked away in the opposite direction, aimlessly wandering through the long night, indulging in her sorrow

Thus, Lin Chuxia silently lowered her head, feeling worried: Would this meal consume my living expenses for an entire month?

What a joke, what will happen if I am not wearing a mask and am subjected to "teaching by example"

"So, does this mean that my mentor is very unsafe?" Gu Jiuyou directly interrupted Bai Shijiu's words

He suddenly realized that the focus was not on her deliberately choosing the moment to avoid inviting Bai Shijiu to the concert with him over the weekend, but rather on testing whether he had any feelings of infatuation for Bai Shijiu.

However, this brilliant moment has vanished, like a fleeting bloom.

Although the sun has not yet risen, the sky has already shed its dark cloak, and the entire world is shrouded in a faint glow

Upon seeing Bai Shijiu, Lin Chuxia immediately inquired: "How was it? Did the date go smoothly? Was it romantic? Did you confess?"

Lin Chuxia immediately broke into a smile: "Really?"

Seeing her indifferent expression, An Jiemo also felt relieved. Subsequently, in a very displeased mood, he forced a smile and said, "Then I will take my leave," before turning around and leaving

Bai Shijiu smiled and pretended to disdainfully push Lin Chuxia away. She felt very touched and was also very grateful for Lin Chuxia's support

03

However, no one spoke first, so when the silence reached a certain moment, they all began to speak together

Bai Shijiu shyly blew her a kiss

Three individuals stand in the morning light, watching as the sun gradually rises in the distance, observing how the early morning light dispels the gloom of the sky

The reason for not wanting to mention this period to Bai Shijiu is simply that there is nothing worth discussing

It seems that only Gu Jiuyou reacted. He quickly grasped Lin Chuxia's index finger and then smiled gently at An Jiemo, saying: "I apologize, Lin Chuxia has mistakenly pointed at the wrong person. She tends to act this way when she is drunk, I hope you can understand."

However, he knows that this is not Bai Shijiu's fault

Lin Chuxia muttered to herself, and although she kept her head down, her eyes were extremely restless, occasionally glancing cautiously at Gu Jiuyou out of the corner of her eye

As he spoke, An Jiemo was about to help Lin Chuxia, but Gu Jiuyou coldly blocked his hand.

For celebrities, going without sleep for two or three days is nothing. Moreover, I have already slept.

Gu Jiu You merely glanced a few times, and as his gaze flickered, Lin Chuxia's heart was also in a state of turmoil for quite a while

When Gu Jiuyao's gaze left the script, Lin Chuxia instinctively reached out to touch her well-fitted mask, and her lowered head drooped even further, presenting a complete image of admitting her mistake, ready to humbly accept Gu Jiuyao's reprimand. However, Gu Jiuyao neither looked at her nor spoke; he simply picked up a pen from the pen holder and began to circle and draw on Lin Chuxia's script.

The morning light in the early hours is not as intense as the afternoon sun, nor is it as affectionate as the sunlight near dusk, but it is the softest. Although it carries a slight dampness from the mist, it is this very mist that renders it gentle. At this moment, the pale yellow morning light gently rests upon Lin Chuxia's face, and in the soft glow, she appears serene and gentle

However, An Jiemo had forgotten that at this moment, Lin Chuxia was already in a state of near unconsciousness due to intoxication

Upon hearing the song "Little Chrysanthemum," Lin Chuxia clearly noticed that Gu Jiuyou's eyebrows drooped halfway. She silently vowed in her heart: Next time, I must change my ringtone before coming!

In a moment of embarrassment, something flashed through Lin Chuxia's mind, and she instinctively exclaimed, "I want to drink!"

After a lengthy narration, Lin Chuxia put on the demeanor of a love expert and scrutinized Bai Shijiu: "Since you like An Jiemo, let me analyze it for you. " As she spoke, Lin Chuxia made a gesture as if calculating with her fingers, "An Jiemo is 23 years old, you are 20 years old, with a 3-year age difference. If you two are together, this is certainly auspicious for both husband and children!"

"No," Bai Shijiu suddenly felt embarrassed. "Professor Gu, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean it that way. What I meant was, with Chuxia being this drunk, it really wouldn't be appropriate to trouble the professor."

"So early?" she asked in surprise, speaking her mind directly.

As she turned to the first page, Lin Chuxia's heart "thudded" along with the page, and her mouth beneath the mask gently inhaled and exhaled

Initially, Lin Chuxia was uncertain, but at that moment, noticing the sudden flush of crimson on Bai Shijiu's face, she became certain and exclaimed: "You like An Jiemo!"

However, the more Gu Jiuyou remained calm, the more Lin Chuxia became restless

An Jiamei is filled with confidence, simply because he understands that for Lin Chuxia, Gu Jiuyou is a demon, so how could she choose to go with him

He cast a cold, icy glance and said: "Still not revising the manuscript? Do you not want your credits anymore?"

However, in response to her expression filled with anticipation, Bai Shijiu merely cast her a faint glance, and then, clutching his clothes, he slipped into the bathroom, leaving behind a cold and distant remark—"I won't say anything more, I am so tired"

After being taken aback, An Jiemo suddenly recalled Lin Chuxia's words—"What do you think of Nineteen?"

However, in contrast to the sycophantic flattery of Anjiemo's lackeys, Gu Jiuyou simply sat calmly on the side, sipping barley tea

In fact, the person I have been waiting for is Xiao Chuxia

Beautiful girls are not uncommon for Anjiemo

Lin Chuxia slightly loosened her grip, but as if recalling something in an instant, she immediately held on tightly again, crying out: "Professor Gu, since you have forgiven me, please treat me to this meal. I truly have no money as a student. Otherwise, shall we not go for this meal? I can invite you to the school cafeteria; you can eat whatever you want, even the most premium set meal is only 20 yuan!"

Perhaps feeling guilty, Bai Shijiu blushed with embarrassment under Lin Chuxia's scrutiny

I am clearly doing you a favor, how can you take advantage of me like this!

However, it is regrettable that Lin Chuxia does not possess the ability to curse, so after Gu Jiuyao noticed her resentful gaze and finished his tea, he cast a faint glance at her and said in a cold voice: "You can leave whenever you have improved."

The atmosphere became awkward as Bai Shijiu assessed the two individuals, sensing that a conflict was about to erupt. She quickly made a suggestion: "Mentor Gu, let me take care of Chuxia. We share a dormitory, and we are both girls, so it is relatively... relatively safe..."

Gu Jiu You still frowned and said, "Let go of me first."

Gu Jiu You sighed and shrugged, saying: "That An Jie Mo said you are treating, he will foot the bill"

However, what he did not expect was that when he deliberately dressed up to go to the concert venue, and after waiting for quite some time with anticipation, Lin Chuxia did not appear; instead, it was Bai Shijiu who showed up.

What was unexpected was that Lin Chuxia did not return to the dormitory until 11 o'clock

Do not let go! Unless you, the mentor, agree to cancel the dinner gathering!

What could possibly be the matter

An Jiamei looked at him, inexplicably furious, always feeling that Gu Jiuyou had ulterior motives towards Lin Chuxia. Therefore, he suggested, "Why not just ask Xiaochuxia who she wants to go with"

Speaking of "celebrities," Lin Chuxia couldn't help but recall how she had been deceived by him for four years. She shot him a glare and pretended to complain, saying: "And you say, do all you celebrities lie?"

"I won't sing," Lin Chuxia said, puffing her cheeks and shaking her head quickly. "I just came to eat."

Lin Chuxia was happily preparing to pick up her chopsticks, only to find that the scorching gaze beside her was once again directed at her

Thereafter, Gu Jiuyou returned the script to her and instructed, "The sections I have circled are problematic; you should sit aside and make the necessary corrections before leaving"

Gu Jiu You was very satisfied with her choice: "Did you see that? I am now taking her to sober up. After we finish discussing the script, I will send her back to the dormitory." After saying this, as if to emphasize, he looked at Bai Shijiu and added deliberately, "Don't worry, I have no interest in a figure like Lin Chuxia's, which is like that of an elementary school student."

02

Ah? Um... Lin Chuxia hesitated for a moment and told a lie, "I have a bit of a cough and don't want to infect you, my mentor." After saying this, she deliberately coughed twice to prove that she indeed had "a bit of a cough"

She did not know how many roses were in that bouquet, but she understood that ninety-nine roses represented eternal love. Thus, in her moment of joy, she regarded that bouquet as a confession of everlasting love with ninety-nine roses

The end of the intermediary

"Did you come specifically to eat at KTV?" An Jie Mo was left speechless

To be precise, it should be that I specifically came to the KTV to listen to you sing while eating. Lin Chuxia spoke in a vague tone, swallowing the food in her mouth before stuffing another piece of food into her mouth.

Before An Jiemo could finish speaking, Lin Chuxia pushed him away in disdain, while Gu Jiuyou seemed to take the opportunity to pull the already soft Lin Chuxia into his embrace, leaving not a single gap for An Jiemo. It appeared as though he regarded Lin Chuxia as his possession, lifting his head to reveal a smile towards An Jiemo.

Upon hearing this, An Jiemo smiled without speaking

Lin Chuxia furrowed her brows, contemplating how to inform An Jiemo that she was currently imprisoned by a demon and truly unable to extricate herself. Suddenly, her hand was tugged, and the mobile phone that had been in her grasp vanished.

Bai Shijiu fell silent for two seconds, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, you can go ahead."

The show you starred in, "Early Summer Starlight," is very enjoyable; I watch every episode. However, I remember that the diving scene was filmed in winter, so you must have been freezing at that time

Yes

Moments later, four individuals gathered around a large table, each displaying different expressions, and not a single person spoke, creating an eerily unsettling atmosphere

Lin Chuxia pretended to smile obediently, but lowered her head and cursed fiercely - Demon

Did 20 yuan just get rid of me

It is not a matter of whether she can or cannot, but rather whether she is able to go

Because she did not want to recall the first kiss that was taken from her by Gu Jiu You under the guise of teaching by example, Lin Chuxia chose to forget the entire incident. It was not until the previous night when Gu Jiu You specifically called to remind her that she must print the script and submit it to the office before 9 o'clock this morning that she remembered the matter of revising the script. She stayed up all night to revise the script thoroughly.

"Don't you like listening to 'Bringing Good Fortune and Beneficial Offspring'?" Lin Chuxia was not concerned at all and continued, "Then let's talk about something scientific. Although An Jiemo is very handsome and adorable, you are not bad either, at nineteen you are a standard long-haired beauty. Even though you don't like to dress up, it does not affect your naturally beautiful appearance in the slightest"

Uh... I dare not.

In fact, when An Jiemo mentioned the words "misunderstanding," Bai Shijiu caught a glimpse of the embarrassment and difficulty in his eyes at that very moment.

With a speechless and bewildered expression, Lin Chuxia looked at Gu Jiuyou. Just as she was about to raise a question, Gu Jiuyou shot her a threatening glance, as if asking her: "Do you not want to earn credits now?"

Lin Chuxia shot him a glance and said, "It's been four years and I still can't recognize your star face. Are you disappointed?"

Gu Jiu You is indeed a prodigy, and when he speaks, it is simply ... ! ... straightforward and blunt !

This time, not only was An Jiemo shocked, but even Bai Shijiu, who was almost dozing off beside him, nearly fell off his chair.

On the other end of the phone, An Jiemo seemed to fall silent for a moment due to Lin Chuxia's soft voice, but he quickly responded: "I wanted to thank you for pretending to be my girlfriend last time and helping me get rid of the 'bees.' I know it was a bit of a burden for you, so I was wondering if I could treat you to a meal as a token of my appreciation"

"Wait! I still have something to ask you." As Lin Chuxia was about to enter the bathroom, Bai Shijiu hurriedly stopped her and asked, "How did you meet An Jiemo?" Bai Shijiu had been holding this question in for a long time but had never had the courage to ask her. However, tonight she wanted to get a clear answer.

Looking at Lin Chuxia, who was crying and sniffling, Gu Jiuyou frowned with a look of disdain. However, every time he tried to pull his thigh away from Lin Chuxia's grip, he failed. Thus, he could only helplessly say: "I forgive you"

How could that be? If I were frozen to death, I would not be here talking to you

Thus, in response to his question, "Xiao Chuxia, who do you want to go with?", Lin Chuxia directly pushed him away in annoyance and leaned onto Gu Jiuyou.

But I don't find it troublesome Gu Jiuyou insisted

Upon hearing the phrase "旺夫益子," Bai Shijiu immediately cast a disdainful and contemptuous glance at Lin Chuxia

Lin Chuxia had not eaten anything all day, and at this moment, she was silently filling her stomach with a large bag of snacks. Meanwhile, Bai Shijiu, as if energized, was constantly chatting and laughing with An Jiemo.

Stealing a glance at Gu Jiu You, Lin Chuxia noticed that aside from his somewhat strange expression, he showed no intention of stopping her from answering the phone

Before the weekend arrived, An Jiemo had imagined countless scenarios of dating

Lin Chuxia, who was already intoxicated, saw nothing at all. She only noticed that after pushing An Jiemo away, she burped and then pointed at him, shouting: "I just don't have any money, so what? You... you have money, right? Big stars... they all have money, a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Since you are so wealthy, why... why don't you support me!"

Looking at her and recalling the impulse he felt during the earlier conversation with An Jiemo, Gu Jiuyou slightly furrowed his brows. He was unsure of the motivation behind his actions, as he had rudely snatched her phone to speak with An Jiemo. However, he was eager to meet An Jiemo because the first time he saw An Jiemo, Lin Chuxia was sitting in An Jiemo's car, and he wanted to know what their relationship was and how close they were.

Alright, stop talking nonsense, I am going to take a shower

She only knew that after finishing the hot milk, Gu Jiu You asked her what her relationship with An Jie Mo was. She replied that they were close friends, and then Gu Jiu You did not speak again. After that, he took her back to school

The world is very quiet, and two people sit together in silence; this is the first time in four years. For An Jiemo, this is also a precious scene in his memory. He looks up at the dim sky and suddenly recalls his first meeting with Lin Chuxia in the café. He had imagined many scenarios of their meeting, but none resembled that moment, which seemed ridiculous to him yet was equivalent to the arrival of a heroine.

She seemed to have been sleeping for a long time in a daze, and when she woke up, it was in Gu Jiuyao's Infiniti. Upon seeing Gu Jiuyao, she was somewhat taken aback, while Gu Jiuyao calmly handed her a cup of hot milk and ordered her to finish it.

What exactly happened during the two hours he took you away afterwards

Upon hearing Bai Shijiu's question, Lin Chuxia was momentarily taken aback, and then suspiciously scrutinized Bai Shijiu, asking, "Why do you ask this?"

Let go

Thus, Lin Chuxia smiled and reached out to place her hand on her shoulder. Due to a height difference of more than 10 centimeters, she even stood on her tiptoes. Subsequently, she detailed to Bai Shijiu the specifics of her acquaintance with An Jiemo.

He did not respond, so Lin Chuxia simply rolled her eyes at him again and then fell silent.

It was not until just before dinner that Lin Chuxia finally managed to revise the script with great difficulty, and Gu Jiuyou did not have time to review it, so he let it go for the moment, saying: "Let's go, I will look at it again later"

At last, she could no longer bear it. While An Jiemo and Gu Jiuyou remained silent, she picked up the wine glass from the table and drank the contents in one gulp. As if that single glass was not enough to vent her frustration, she reached over, picked up the wine jug that was set aside, filled her glass once more, and downed it in another gulp.

Thus, the two individuals began to sing this old song in the K room. It was unclear whether it was their melodious voices or the beautiful lyrics, but Lin Chuxia could not help but stop her actions, becoming entranced by the music

"Um, mentor, just now..." In a moment of helplessness and embarrassment, Lin Chuxia timidly spoke up, but the cold gaze from Gu Jiuya that followed immediately silenced her words.

"What happened?" Lin Chuxia took off her shoes, directly filled a cup with water, and then drank it all in one go

After having eaten to satisfaction, Lin Chuxia naturally felt drowsy

Before long, the table was filled with an array of dishes that were rich in color, aroma, and flavor

He has thought a great deal and prepared extensively, and he is certain that the concert this weekend will undoubtedly be the most perfect concert in his memory

Anjie turned around and saw the words on the big screen—"Hiroshima Mon Amour"

The next morning, Lin Chuxia woke up early and found herself unable to sleep.

"No problem, see you tonight." Gu Jiuyou slowly hung up the phone, returned the mobile phone to Lin Chuxia, and then leisurely sat back at his own desk, continuing to look at Lin Chuxia's homework

Ah? Lin Chuxia was somewhat slow to react

Really?" Lin Chuxia immediately let go, wiped away the tears on her face, and instantly smiled brightly, as if the tearful and pitiful person just now was not her at all. With a smile, she let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is still better!"

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, An Jiemo was also taken aback; the sudden voice of Gu Jiuyao almost made him truly believe that Lin Chuxia had been abducted by aliens. However, he quickly regained his composure. Although he did not know what was going on, since the other party had already introduced themselves, there was no need for An Jiemo to hide. He responded, "Sure, I don't mind. Since Xiaochuxia said she wants to treat Professor Gu to a meal, as Xiaochuxia's dearest person, I will take care of the bill on her behalf."

How could nothing happen! I see the advisor's attitude towards you...

For him, this was considered the first true date with Lin Chuxia, and more importantly, this date was initiated by Lin Chuxia herself

She watched him turn around, watched him walk further away step by step, watched him throw the bouquet of red roses into the trash can, and watched him hail a taxi before disappearing into the distance

Standing at the entrance of the gymnasium, An Jiemo, holding a bouquet of roses, is undoubtedly a figure of attention. Even with a mask on, his tall and slender figure, along with the charming and captivating eyes visible above the mask, subtly reveal his unique star quality. From time to time, girls come over to strike up a conversation, even though it is already apparent from the alluring roses that he has someone special in his heart, as he occasionally glances at the time.

An Jiemu suddenly became very angry, a surge of resentment burning within him

Then shall we set it at the 'Red Inclination' restaurant, how about that

At this moment, An Jiemo seemed to notice something amiss between Lin Chuxia and Gu Jiuyou. He saw her retract her hand and stop her actions, feeling that it was indeed somewhat strange

This sentence is merely filled with gratitude towards An Jiemo, but when it reaches Gu Jiuyao's ears, it takes on a different meaning

Gu Jiu You, upon hearing this, raised the corner of her mouth, seemingly generous, and replied to her: "At 'Hong Qing' restaurant." Intentionally withholding the fact that An Jie Mo was treating her, Gu Jiu You further emphasized, "One of the top ten most upscale restaurants in the city, with an average expenditure of 2,000 per person"

Thus, taking advantage of the moment when Bai Shijiu went to the restroom, Lin Chuxia inquired about An Jiemo, saying: "What do you think of Shijiu?"

From a distance, Lin Chuxia saw Bai Shijiu running towards her while shouting, as if a savior had come to her door. Thus, she casually pulled her along and got into Gu Jiuyou's Infiniti.

Lin Chuxia, the protagonist who is about to be invited by An Jiemo, seems to be the one who is truly "out of the loop". Why does she feel as if her lifelong affairs are being decided by others?

Bai Shijiu, feeling no pressure at all, said: "Dare to take on a challenge?"

"Alright." At this moment, Gu Jiuyou appeared calm and composed, as if taking Lin Chuxia's phone was not an impolite act. He held Lin Chuxia's phone to his ear and said to the person on the other end, An Jiemo, "I am Lin Chuxia's mentor, Gu Jiuyou. Coincidentally, Lin Chuxia just agreed to treat me to a meal, so why not join us."

In the end, An Jiemo spoke first: "19, I think we all have a bit of a misunderstanding, actually ... ... "

Dear Mentor, the gift may be modest, but the sentiment is profound

It was not until the concert was about to begin that An Jiemo finally heard the call

Once again, when handing the script to Gu Jiu You, Lin Chu Xia put on a mask. She could hardly bear to look directly at him. After knocking on the door, she entered the office with her head down and then handed the script to Gu Jiu You while still keeping her head lowered

No problem

However, Lin Chuxia is currently at the center of attention, sitting next to the so-called great demon Gu Jiuyou, whom she harbors feelings for. She dares not speak freely with An Jiemo, so she can only lower her tone and softly ask: "It's me, do you have something to discuss?"

Oh no

After the playful commotion subsided, Lin Chuxia took her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower

At this moment, Bai Shijiu, apart from the embarrassment caused by her bashful expression, presented a look that was entirely different from her usual carefree demeanor. Her outfit, exuding an air of intellectual elegance while also appearing delicate and dependent, left An Jiemo even more flustered and awkward in his astonishment

He smiled and touched his nose: "This song has a very high pitch."

Of course, as a matchmaker, Lin Chuxia is not merely here to eat and listen to music

He contemplated whether he should confess to Lin Chuxia

Uh... no, it's not that. I want to treat you myself, in order to repay the guidance and care that Mentor Gu has given me

Haha, you can still tell jokes

... ... Don't worry? Is it possible? It's already 9 o'clock now, okay?

After saying so much, what does it actually mean

As she assessed the situation, Lin Chuxia's mind began to recall the various unusual behaviors of Bai Shijiu, such as—during their first meeting with An Jiemo, she frantically pulled her down from the dormitory building, ... and when they climbed the mountain to watch the sunrise, she was particularly proactive and talkative, bringing up numerous topics...

Since Gu Jiu You said so, Lin Chuxia also appeared quite resolute. An Jiemo then followed Lin Chuxia's intention and instructed the waiter to open a bottle of wine, and subsequently ordered several signature dishes.

Suddenly, Bai Shijiu embraced Lin Chuxia.

Anjiemo understood her meaning and, feeling a bit embarrassed, smiled while scratching the back of his head: "I was actually looking forward to you recognizing me."

Suddenly, An Jiemo shifted his gaze and fell upon Lin Chuxia beside him

"Don't you want to sleep a little longer? I'll wake you up when the sun is about to rise." An Jiemo's voice was soft, yet it filtered through her question, as she simply placed her finger on her lips, signaling her to be quiet.

You and Anjiemo are a perfect match! I have decided for you!

Perhaps it was due to nervousness, and just at that moment, he was rejecting a girl who had come to ask for his phone number. At this time, he was completely unable to discern that the voice coming from behind him did not belong to Lin Chuxia. Therefore, he hurriedly turned around, and even though he was wearing a mask, one could still feel the brilliance of his smile through his lightly smiling eyes.

"Hello! Bai Shijiu, what are you doing? Is this inappropriate?"

Bai Shijiu was still peacefully asleep beside her, and there was still some time before sunrise. Lin Chuxia did not want to wake Bai Shijiu with her tossing and turning, especially since she noticed that dark circles had already formed under Bai Shijiu's eyes. Therefore, she quietly got up and walked out of the tent.

Speaking of jokes, let me tell you, yesterday I encountered someone in a game, it was quite hilarious

Feeling both anxious and helpless, she glanced up at Gu Jiu You, who was drinking tea, and inwardly cursed, "May you choke on the water!"

Not bad at all. An Jie Mo, who did not catch the hidden meaning in Lin Chuxia's words, blinked and casually tossed a strawberry into her mouth, saying, "She is beautiful, has a good personality, is easy to get along with, and sings quite well."

Receiving such serious affirmation and support from Lin Chuxia left Bai Shijiu somewhat shocked. She had always felt that Lin Chuxia's relationship with An Jiemo was unusual, so even though she had secretly harbored feelings for him for a long time, she had never revealed a word. Moreover, she believed that even if she confessed her feelings for An Jiemo, Lin Chuxia would prevent her from pursuing him due to his celebrity status.

He has not been without romantic relationships, but this feeling of anxious tension is something he is experiencing for the first time

Furrowing her brows, An Jiemo directly stood in front of Gu Jiuyao and said indifferently: "It's so late now, what script? Let's discuss it tomorrow. Moreover, in her current state, Xiaochuxia is unable to seriously listen to your guidance, Mentor Gu. So, there's no need to trouble you any further. Nineteen and I will take Xiaochuxia back."

The language is filled with praise, it seems he has a very good impression of 19

two thousand

Ah? Yes, yes! Lin Chuxia immediately sat back down in her chair and earnestly began revising the script

Lin Chuxia looked at the table full of dishes, swallowed her saliva, and all feelings of embarrassment vanished without a trace

That night at 10:30, Bai Shijiu finally returned to the dormitory

Looking at Lin Chuxia, who was smiling gently, An Jiemo had a strange illusion—that Lin Chuxia was intentionally avoiding an appointment with Bai Shijiu. Remembering her proactive invitations during this period, he raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly: "Alright"

Swiftly, the inky clouds in the night sky linger at his brow, as if they are about to devour the starlight that draws attention to him

Is there a problem

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Chuxia still took out her phone and answered the call

Thinking of this, Lin Chuxia nodded in satisfaction and then asked him: "Shall we go to the concert together this weekend?"

An Jiemu wanted to be straightforward, but he soon felt that this statement was too hurtful. He did not know if Bai Shijiu would be able to accept it.

Gu Jiu You looked at Lin Chu Xia, who was typing furiously, and after a moment of silence, asked: "An Jie Mo... was he the one who picked you up and took you home on the first night I became your mentor?"

However, she could only smile and pretend to know nothing, feigning nonchalance

Lin Chuxia is a unique existence, having been so from the very beginning. She is the only girl who has never met him yet resides in his heart. Therefore, his affection for her has never been due to a fleeting moment, but rather a gradual deepening of feelings over time.

Thus, it has indeed confirmed Lin Chuxia's speculation

Lin Chuxia, scratching her head and unable to think of a suitable adjective, raised her wrinkled face, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, it was quite late that day, so Jie Mo accompanied me back to school."

After hanging up the phone with An Jiemo to arrange a visit to the KTV, Lin Chuxia made an 'OK' gesture towards Bai Shijiu and said, 'It's done'

However, all along, An Jiemo has never encountered a girl who made his heart flutter

Thus, the next day, the three of them arrived at the KTV together

However, Bai Shijiu did not notice the extremely rapid changes occurring within this moment; her gaze, at the instant An Jiemo turned around, fell directly upon the bright red rose in his hand

While in the dormitory, Lin Chuxia imagined many romantic scenes, and she sincerely wished well for Bai Shijiu and An Jiemo.

With lingering fears, Lin Chuxia sat aside with the script and a pen. Upon opening it, she discovered that there were quite a few issues highlighted.

Thus, under the silent gaze of An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu, Gu Jiuyou carried Lin Chuxia out of the restaurant and into his Infiniti

On one side was the inexplicably strange gaze of the perverse mentor Gu Jiu You, and on the other side was the concerned gaze of An Jie Mo. Lin Chu Xia felt completely caught in the middle, as if sitting on pins and needles

It was as if there was an unspoken understanding, a call that resonated deeply, causing Bai Shijiu to blush, while An Jiemo's brow furrowed even more tightly.

The meal came to a hurried end due to Lin Chuxia's drunkenness. However, just as An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu were preparing to take Lin Chuxia back, Gu Jiuyou, who had been holding onto Lin Chuxia, showed no intention of letting go. In response to the large question mark hovering over the heads of the two, he simply smiled and said: "I still need to take her back to guide her on the script. I will send her back to the dormitory in a little while. You two can head back first, no need to worry."

Can you say something normal

The silence between them lasted for a long time, one awkwardly hesitating in anger on how to resolve the misunderstanding, while the other shyly anticipated and hoped for the other's confession

Gu Jiu You shot a cold, icy glance at her, and Lin Chuxia suddenly recalled what had happened last time. She quickly took the script and said submissively, "I will change it, I will change it right away"

Unconsciously twirling a pen, Lin Chuxia was staring at the first question circled in the script, lost in thought. Suddenly, her pocket began to tremble slightly, and then the ringtone of her phone resonated in the air

Lin Chuxia, who was reputed to be tipsy after three cups, was now swaying unsteadily, and the two men beside her immediately stood up to support her

Just at the moment of sunrise, Lin Chuxia pulled Bai Shijiu out of the tent, saying that they were going to watch the sunrise, which certainly could not be missed

As the words left his mouth, Bai Shijiu and An Jiemo were both taken aback

In the past, it was always others who confessed their feelings, always others who waited. This is the first time he feels, in a daze, that the joys and sorrows of those past romances were merely superficial affections, not enough to be called love

He wondered if Lin Chuxia was going to confess to him

Lin Chuxia became more certain and smiled with ill intent: "You really do like An Jiemo!"

The lively cheers echoed in the gymnasium, shaking Bai Shijiu's world, yet his heart was overtaken by desolation

Seeing An Jiemo's attentive care for Lin Chuxia, Bai Shijiu couldn't help but feel a bit angry. However, she merely pressed her lips together, silently flipping through the menu, sulking.

Seeing the two people beside her engaged in a lively conversation, Lin Chuxia, yawning, simply crawled into the tent to sleep. Before long, she fell asleep.

Isn't this quite normal? Alright, let's just talk about interests. You all enjoy playing games, so that gives you a common topic to discuss

Immediately, Bai Shijiu, who was well aware of her drinking capacity, stopped her and said: "What are you drinking? The teacher is still here"

Hmm? Are you saying it was forced?

I... I... " Bai Shijiu stammered, " So how did you all meet? "

Anjiemo shook his head and replied: "It's nothing."

If you wait any longer, it seems you will have to sleep on the streets!" Looking at Lin Chuxia, who had entered the room with the smell of alcohol already dissipated, Bai Shijiu glanced at the time and sighed. She then began to gossip about the developments between Lin Chuxia and Gu Jiuyou, asking, "What happened between you and your screenwriter mentor?"

However, what is even more shocking is that in the next moment, as Bai Shijiu and An Jiemu were still in a state of utter astonishment, Gu Jiuyou embraced Lin Chuxia and gently said to her, who was almost suffocating in his arms: "Moreover, how can you casually speak about something like being kept?"

She was unaware that while she was in a deep sleep, Gu Jiu You had given her hot water several times, specifically bought a new towel, requested a large bottle of hot water from the staff at the coffee shop, and then used the towel soaked in hot water to apply to her forehead

Of course, I must!

Bai Shijiu's face turned even redder

After secretly sighing to herself, An Jiemo collected her emotions and began to chat with Lin Chuxia while flipping through the menu: "Xiao Chuxia, what would you like to eat? The cumin lamb slices are quite good; I had them last time. Would you like to give them a try? Also, the Dongpo pork and boiled fish here are delicious; would you like to taste them? Or do you prefer to sample a bit of everything? This restaurant is a fusion-style establishment, so if you want French or Thai cuisine, they have it all... Also, the Dongpo pork and boiled fish here are delicious; would you like to taste them? Or do you prefer to sample a bit of everything? This restaurant is a fusion-style establishment, so if you want French or Thai cuisine, they have it all..."

Lin Chuxia fell directly off the chair, startling Gu Jiuyou quite a bit, but immediately her sorrowful expression made him unable to help but find it amusing

"Forget it if you don't want to say anything," Lin Chuxia pouted. When her gaze returned to the sky, she noticed the distant horizon faintly illuminated by the morning light. She exclaimed in delight, "The sun has risen! Bai Shijiu, get up quickly, the sun has risen!"

"I have had enough sleep." Lin Chuxia stuck out her tongue, sat down beside him, and lowered her voice, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Aren't you tired? I noticed that your dark circles are quite pronounced; I guess you all chatted late into the night, right?"

In fact, Lin Chuxia herself is not interested in karaoke. She has always been tone-deaf and remembers being ridiculed a few times for singing in public, leading her to despair over her singing voice. However, Bai Shijiu sings very well, especially when it comes to Liang Jingru's love songs. As for An Jiemo, to Lin Chuxia's knowledge, he currently has no intention of pursuing a career in the music industry, but his voice is quite pleasant, and he should not sound too bad when he sings.

Before Gu Jiuyou could smile, in the next moment, Lin Chuxia hugged Gu Jiuyou's thigh and began to cry loudly: "Professor Gu, my monthly living expenses are not even 2,000. You are literally pushing me into a fire pit! Professor Gu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lifted the manhole cover and caused your car to get stuck in the sewer. I shouldn't have distorted the truth in front of the department head to accuse you. Everything is my fault! Professor Gu, you are magnanimous, will you forgive me?" Professor Gu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lifted the manhole cover and caused your car to get stuck in the sewer. I shouldn't have distorted the truth in front of the department head to accuse you. Everything is my fault! Professor Gu, you are magnanimous, will you forgive me?

For An Jiemo, this situation is indeed awkward, as he only intended to invite Lin Chuxia alone, but unexpectedly, two additional people showed up, one of whom is even a mentor

It is finished, Bai Shijiu and An Jiemo have completely turned to stone

Hello? Is this Lin Chuxia? I haven't heard from you in such a long time; I thought you had been abducted by aliens!" On the other end of the line, An Jiemo clearly let out a sigh of relief, and his cheerful tone revealed that he was indeed much more at ease upon hearing Lin Chuxia's voice

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle softly

How many times has she invited An Jiemo out? Lin Chuxia could not count anymore; she only remembered that during this period, in order to create opportunities for An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu to meet, she frequently invited An Jiemo out. She had nearly exhausted all the excuses she could use, and this time, the invitation to the KTV was merely inspired by a classmate discussing how cost-effective a certain KTV's group purchase was. Thus, she used singing as an excuse to invite An Jiemo.

When Bai Shijiu returned to the dormitory, it was already 9:30. She did not plan to go to bed so early; if Lin Chuxia found out that she had not waited for her to return, it would be surprising if that guy didn't skin her alive. Therefore, Bai Shijiu, who was prepared to battle with the computer for a while longer, reluctantly decided to wait for that guy Lin Chuxia.
