Hmm? Why did Jiang Xiao suddenly slip a big white rabbit milk candy with an orange flavor into her hand?
Looking at the candy in the palm of her hand, slightly smaller than her thumb, Song Qiuyu’s eyes sparkled.
Her taste buds already recalled the candy’s rich milky aroma, its sweet and sour flavor, and began producing a lot of saliva. She pursed her lips slightly.
“This is a thank-you gift.”
Jiang Xiao saw through her confusion and explained.
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu stared blankly at the candy in her palm, her lips slightly parted.
This orange-flavored White Rabbit candy was the one she liked!
“When I passed by the supermarket, I just bought it casually. If I’m not mistaken, you used to like this flavor back in middle school.”
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Jiang Xiao said straightforwardly.
“Uh…”
Song Qiuyu instantly felt a burst of guilt.
It had been three years, yet this guy still remembered her preferences as a roommate.
She could barely remember most things from middle school, and the details about Jiang Xiao’s likes and motion sickness were all based on the messages he sent.
If he found out her true self, his caring and considerate demeanor as a brother would definitely disappear. [She herself felt unworthy of Jiang Xiao’s gentleness, after all, she couldn’t even recall when she had told him she liked this candy.]
Her mood turned strange.
Thinking this over, she sighed and smiled gratefully. “You remember something from so long ago?”
She blinked playfully. “Very good, very good. If you ever have any questions, just ask me. As brothers, I’ll definitely answer everything!”
“I gratefully accept this candy.”
Having said that, she immediately pulled away from Jiang Xiao.
Unintentionally, her hair, black as ink and soft as silk, brushed against Jiang Xiao’s neck, causing a slight itch.
Jiang Xiao awkwardly tilted his head toward it, a large hand gently covering the itchy spot.
The burning itch couldn’t be stopped, and the restlessness inside still continued.
It should have been accidental, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a deliberate prank.
Those few strands of hair brushing his neck were as adorable and infuriating as their owner, somehow making it impossible to hold a grudge against them.
He couldn’t exactly be mad at a few strands of hair; he wasn’t that childish.
Song Qiuyu didn’t notice Jiang Xiao’s strange reaction. She lowered her head and unwrapped the milk candy.
Her beautiful fingertips pinched the candy, emitting orange and rich milk fragrance, lifting it from the orange-yellow wrapper.
Her strawberry-soft, full lips parted slightly, exhaling a warm breath, and she put the entire candy into her mouth, chewing a few times.
“It’s still the same taste!”
Enjoying the sweet yet not greasy flavor of the milk candy, her face was filled with happiness, her eyes squinting into slits.
Jiang Xiao watched her, his mouth involuntarily curving into a small smile.
This orange-flavored White Rabbit candy was the one Xi’er said she liked.
One more piece of matching information added.
The girl chewing the candy’s cheeks moved like a little cat, her plump face soft and pinchable.
Just one candy seemed to improve her mood significantly.
Her smile was brighter and more radiant than the winter sunlight outside the window.
“Ding!” The notification sound of a new QQ message suddenly rang out.
“Hmm, could it be a reply from Party A?”
Song Qiuyu was momentarily startled, still chewing the candy, then turned and walked back inside, picking up her phone from the table.
Jiang Xiao was also caught off guard. Seeing her enter so decisively, he felt a bit down and rubbed his heavy chest.
Then he involuntarily sighed, scratched the still-itchy spot, frowned, and followed her inside.
“Party A sent a message!”
Suddenly, Song Qiuyu raised her phone like a war correspondent and shouted.
“It’s here, it’s here!”
Xie Zhuran spoke, but he was still stubbornly fighting the enemy hero in the canyon.
He couldn’t leave easily.
The battle was intense, seemingly going on for a while.
“Wait a few more minutes.”
Lin An was also maneuvering his hero, contending with the enemy hero.
“Here comes the push, almost ready!”
Song Qiuyu’s eye twitched slightly. She shook her head helplessly and muttered for them to hurry up before sitting down.
Without waiting for them, she began reading the message from Party A.
The person negotiating with them was a man named Bai Cheng.
He had already read the script and praised the content as excellent, but mentioned that the catgirl seduction parts lacked some fun and hoped they could add more interesting elements.
As she expected, Party A not only requested changes to the script but also wanted to discuss casting.
However, compared to the tone of the last Party A about the couple’s little umbrella script, this time was much more polite.
[Bai Cheng]: Teacher Lemon is simply a natural crossdressing saint. For this catgirl role, you’re probably planning to go all out, right?
Hmm…
Could she deny that?
Song Qiuyu thought for a moment, exhaled, then glanced at Xie Zhuran, who was oblivious to the danger, and chuckled softly.
[Then, this message appeared in Sang Tian’s Chat Group:]
“It’s not quite like that. Actually, we’ve only finished writing the script for now. The role assignments haven’t been decided yet. But one of my roommates volunteered to challenge the catgirl role! @Xie Zhuran”
Seeing the message, Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow but only glanced sideways at the sender without commenting.
At this moment, the two who had just won the game shut it off and happily opened the chat group.
Immediately after, Xie Zhuran sent a question mark in the group chat. When did he volunteer? He had always wanted Lao Song to play the catgirl! Damn it, Lao Song stole his thunder!
After all, this was Party A. It was better to be cautious or else this cake might be eaten by someone else. Well, looks like he had to accept defeat.
Lao Song, you win… but you’re not getting away that easily!
[Xie Zhuran]: Ah, right, right, I did want to play catgirl. But Dorm Leader, if you don’t play catgirl, the fans will definitely be disappointed, and the short video’s data will drop a lot! So you’ll be on board too, right?
Seeing Xie Zhuran’s forceful rebuttal, Lin An smiled, adjusted his glasses, and laughed mischievously.
“Qiuyu, what do you say?” Lin An looked at Song Qiuyu.
Song Qiuyu wore an expression of ongoing planning but silently clenched her fists. Hah, as expected, Ha Ji Xie was thinking along the same lines as her.
If she could drag this guy into it, even if she had to dress as a catgirl this time, it wouldn’t be a total loss.
Then Party A sent another message in the chat group:
“Based on your performances in previous videos, first of all, I think Teacher Lemon crossdressing as a catgirl is definitely a must.”
Upon seeing this, Song Qiuyu pressed her lips, suddenly realizing something awful.
Xie Zhuran excitedly typed several “1”s in the group.
Perfect, Party A’s eyes are sharp. Lao Song, you better honestly join me as a catgirl!
This is Party A’s command!
[Lin An]: Teacher Lemon’s crossdressing greatness goes without saying.
[Xie Zhuran]: Teacher Lemon’s crossdressing greatness goes without saying!
Sang Tian, Xue Qi, and Party A all echoed the phrase.
[All of this was expected by Song Qiuyu.]
The next moment, a message popped up that shocked her greatly.
[Jiang Xiao]: Teacher Lemon’s crossdressing greatness goes without saying.
Why was Jiang Xiao adding in too?
Song Qiuyu turned to look at Jiang Xiao, eyes full of doubt.
Jiang Xiao ignored her.
Seeing Jiang Xiao ignoring her, Song Qiuyu sighed heavily.
This probably wasn’t because someone wanted to sabotage her cake.
Simply because…
Her face was too good-looking, and since she had crossdressed twice already, a certain fixed impression had formed.
Famous actors also sometimes couldn’t escape being identified with a particular role because it was too iconic.
Some people were even forever associated with a single line they once said.
So, from now on, commercial roles might no longer be decided by herself; as long as there was a female role, Party A would consider having her crossplay…
That was the trouble of being handsome.
Though she didn’t understand what Jiang Xiao was thinking, fine, this time she’d treat it as atonement!
Brave Song Qiuyu, not afraid of dressing as a catgirl.
Thus, she accepted the tough challenge.
Xie Zhuran was already wearing a face that said this was a total win and began secretly studying the script of the two catgirls’ scenes.
He had successfully dragged Lao Song down the rabbit hole; the brother could die happy now.
But the seduction scenes Lao Song wrote were truly a betrayal to brothers and to himself.
One catgirl’s lines and actions were really…
So provocative.
The other catgirl was also provocative but to a lesser degree, probably because that role was meant for Lao Sang, so the finesse was toned down.
Unexpectedly, Lao Song was quite the warm guy.
Warm men’s tenderness was always silent, but such silence was the easiest way to have your wife run off with someone else.
Next, something no one expected happened: Party A had his own idea about who should play the other catgirl.
[Bai Cheng]: Can Teacher Lin An take that role?
“?”
Six people had question marks popping up in their minds.
No one expected that Lin An would be the final chosen one.
Was Xie Zhuran going to escape unscathed?
No way!
It was strange—just like when they played games at the hotel earlier, now again, as if an invisible hand was constantly saving Ha Ji Xie!
Before, he had a single sofa to sleep on and didn’t have to squeeze into a big bed with them, and now he might not have to dress as a catgirl?
Song Qiuyu firmly opposed.
“Sigh.”
Xie Zhuran sighed, his mouth curling into a big smile, as if he were the fated chosen one with all luck on his side.
“I’m already prepared to die, but I didn’t expect this.”
“Lao Lin, admit it. This is Party A’s command!”
He said this, then looked at Lin An, who had been designated to play the catgirl, but saw none of the expressions he wanted.
Why was Lao Lin so calm?
In the group chat, Song Qiuyu was still struggling.
[Song Qiuyu]: But didn’t we just say Xie Zhuran should do it?
Bai Cheng: No, no, no. In my concept, Xie Zhuran is better suited to play the role of the one being seduced by the catgirl. Lin An is better for the catgirl role.
[Song Qiuyu]: How about we let both of them try and see who fits better?
[Song Qiuyu]: @Lin An @Xie Zhuran
Song Qiuyu thought both her roommates were reluctant, so the competition would surely be about who acted worse!
But no problem; she trusted Lao Lin’s skills to be stronger.
