“These snacks were all bought by Lao Jiang!”
Xie Zhuran laughed as he said it.
Song Qiuyu was momentarily stunned.
She looked at the table full of snacks and the faces of those eating them, all showing the expression of ‘Yes, that’s exactly right,’ and she slightly held her breath.
That kid Jiang Xiao… he actually… actually knew to buy snacks for everyone?
Surprise, astonishment, emotion, relief, and finally a slight loneliness mixed with a sense of accomplishment—within just a few seconds, these complex feelings intertwined in her heart.
It was like experiencing the joy of being a parent in advance, feeling how sensible her big boy had become.
Not easy at all.
Thinking this, Song Qiuyu grabbed a small handful of chips from the bag and ate them with tears in her eyes.
Clean and refreshing, crispy to the bite, honey flavor, orange flavor… orange flavor?
She tilted her head and glanced at the packaging. It turned out to be honey orange-flavored chips from Australia.
In all her life, this was the first time she had ever tasted orange-flavored chips.
She grabbed two more pieces and popped them into her mouth, her cheeks moving gently on both sides.
Seeing Song Qiuyu’s face full of enjoyment, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Xiao’s handsome face.
After crunching through the whole bag of chips, Song Qiuyu obediently sat down again to let Jiang Xiao do her makeup.
This time, she was much more natural than on the first day.
Her catgirl costume had already been put on underneath in advance.
Her makeup was nearly done.
She immediately took off her coat and pants to get used to the temperature difference.
Facing the amazed gazes from others, she didn’t shy away, but her body involuntarily tensed slightly, and her body temperature rose.
As someone who dreamed of becoming a great director, facing the spotlight was inevitable—so what was there to fear from a few flashes of light?
Thus, the third act—the catgirl Song Qiuyu seducing Jiang Xiao—began filming.
Like Xie Zhuran, Jiang Xiao held the Tender Catgirl tightly wrapped in a black plastic bag and went into bed, closing his eyes.
However, their states of mind were completely different.
Jiang Xiao wasn’t worried about breaking character from laughter; his concern was that he might lose control.
Afterwards, he imagined Song Qiuyu seducing him countless times and practiced over and over.
But even so, he still dared not be careless.
Because Song Qiuyu’s performance was unpredictable—sometimes she liked to improvise on the spot.
Moreover, she had clearly stated that everyone was free to do so.
Just like the comedy master Zhou Xingchi said: every character in a play is the protagonist who can shine; the fear isn’t stealing scenes, but being dull and underperforming, dragging down the entire video.
Song Qiuyu was very serious about this task; she shouldn’t hold the team back—no one should.
“….”
The sweet and coy girl’s voice Song Qiuyu put on made Jiang Xiao’s body stiffen slightly.
The onlookers all held their breath.
This cat act was terrifyingly convincing. If you didn’t look at her face, you’d imagine a soft, fragrant white silk catgirl!
But if you looked at her…
They widened their eyes, staring at Song Qiuyu crawling toward Jiang Xiao.
Her expression, posture, delicate face, slender waist, and hips—she was the living embodiment of a Succubus Catgirl!
Male or female? This question popped up again in their minds.
Even the Class Counselor couldn’t help but want to check Song Qiuyu’s profile to see if there was any mistake.
Xie Zhuran, the photographer for this scene, felt immense pressure. Lao Lin’s portrayal of the other catgirl was fine, but when it came to Lao Song…
He suddenly worried this crawling-on-the-bed process might not pass censorship.
Lao Song was truly going all out! Hopefully, the review would show mercy and let this part remain.
The script only required that both catgirls crawl on the bed very seductively, but the specific manner of seduction was left entirely to the actors’ own understanding.
Undoubtedly, Song Qiuyu’s catgirl was truly seductive. Compared to her, Lin An seemed somewhat restrained.
Next, Song Qiuyu’s way of waking Jiang Xiao was different from Lin An’s method.
She didn’t simply flip the blanket off Jiang Xiao; instead, she lifted the blanket, arched her back, and crawled inside, inching forward bit by bit until two white cat ears peeked out from the pillow end.
Probably rubbed by the pillow and blanket, the white ears twitched a few times, looking as if they really grew on her head.
“Don’t sleep anymore, human…
Come play with me~”
Song Qiuyu’s whole head popped out from under the blanket, and her slightly bulging camisole brushed faintly against Jiang Xiao’s back.
Since it was a fake chest, she didn’t feel a thing herself.
Jiang Xiao, however, was startled.
Many times he couldn’t help but suspect Song Qiuyu did this on purpose!
“Otherwise, I’ll play the acid-base neutralization reaction with you, meow!”
Unconsciously, Song Qiuyu pressed the bulge of her camisole against Jiang Xiao’s back.
Just like magical girls sometimes forget they have magic, people wearing fake chests can forget they’re wearing one.
The tempting sweet girl’s voice, combined with warm fragrant breath, drifted past Jiang Xiao’s ear, a few breaths slipping inside.
“Mm…..”
Jiang Xiao, pretending to be asleep, was nearly about to break character, his expression gradually revealing his unbearable struggle.
Luckily, his part came next.
No more need to endure!
With a swoosh, Jiang Xiao threw off the blanket, jumped off the bed, then hid in the corner, curling up and trembling.
He shouted like Psyduck, “Don’t come near me—!”
This seamless action looked perfect to everyone—just one word: flawless!
It was as if these two had too much chemistry and their acting was too good; no one even thought of breaking character with laughter.
Instead, everyone was deeply immersed in the atmosphere.
Jiang Xiao nailed every emotion his character was supposed to have.
But the sharp-eyed girls noticed another highlight: Jiang Xiao’s ears turned red, perfectly capturing the bashfulness of being seduced by a catgirl!
Sang Tian’s roommates were stunned. Were they shipping a real CP?
If it was just acting, this performance could easily win an Oscar Statuette.
Two pairs of sparkling eyes turned to each other, confirming silently—they were shipping the same CP.
Those two were naturally Sang Tian and Xue Qi.
At this moment, Sang Tian had no idea the other was already miles ahead, driving the CP ship full speed on the highway.
Watching Jiang Xiao’s performance, Xie Zhuran and Lin An both fell into deep thought.
They recalled their own scenes and started to find flaws in themselves, hoping to do better in the next shot.
After all, because of that one scene, they had delayed the shoot too long.
Thankfully, the 602 Dormitory was like one big family; no one complained or minded, accompanying each other through multiple NG takes until they finally passed.
But even if Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao said nothing, they couldn’t stand holding the team back! They knew they had to work harder.
Talent wasn’t enough; hard work had to make up for it.
Song Qiuyu was different.
She simply relaxed completely. Seeing Jiang Xiao’s acting was still excellent, she felt reassured.
Since Jiang Xiao had given up a promising future for her, entering the director’s circle by her side,
then she would just have to take responsibility.
But she also had to be careful not to push too hard.
What if Jiang Xiao, like in the Opera House, kissed her and pounced on her in front of so many people? That would be a disaster.
So, Song Qiuyu’s performance became a bit more cautious, but because her acting was so good, almost no one noticed.
Actually, almost no one did. Most people were simply immersed in the two’s acting, sensing that the overall impression had become even better, though they couldn’t say exactly why.
Only two people noticed.
The first was the Class Counselor, Lao Jiang.
He said nothing but wasn’t surprised; instead, he thought they were doing very well. After all, this short video only required seduction, not the kind of risqué temptation found in adult videos.
Although Song Qiuyu’s performance didn’t cross that line, this slight restraint made it look even better.
The Class Counselor couldn’t help but sigh: this was a naturally gifted player, growing during the act itself.
The second person was Jiang Xiao.
Because Song Qiuyu had slightly restrained herself, Jiang Xiao found the acting process somewhat easier.
Even when those two soft, plump lips he had once captured appeared again before his eyes, he just followed the script, aiming for stability.
Everything went smoothly.
Everyone began preparing to shoot the next scene.
Only then did Jiang Xiao awkwardly put down the blanket he had been clutching and, making an excuse, went to the men’s restroom.
He had been tormented badly by Song Qiuyu.
Throughout the acting, his body had been so uncomfortable he almost wanted to die, not daring to let go of the blanket for fear the camera would catch something inappropriate.
Of course, he wasn’t going to do any emotional decompression in the restroom—just a simple bathroom break and a strategic adjustment.
After finishing, he washed his hands and walked back.
“Jiang Xiao, you’re back!”
Song Qiuyu came forward enthusiastically, patting Jiang Xiao’s shoulder with a big smile, happily saying, “Get ready, let’s keep filming!”
Jiang Xiao hesitated, glanced at the lollipop she was somehow holding in her mouth, and nodded slightly.
The pat on his shoulder made it itch and caused an indescribable discomfort.
What annoyed him most was that the culprit had no idea and even pushed him forward.
Song Qiuyu was like a selfish little deer only thinking about eating fruit, bouncing crazily in his heart and then wanting to run away, ignoring everything while still chewing the fruit.
That was exactly how she had been three years ago.
Only then, she had been acting as Xi’er.
The sweetness of the lollipop drifted over with her breath. This time, Song Qiuyu wasn’t eating orange-flavored candy.
She was sucking on strawberry milk flavor.
Jiang Xiao’s eyes darkened slightly, then his mouth curved upward, feeling amused.
Well, no matter how much she liked oranges, she wouldn’t eat only orange-flavored things. Actually, she wasn’t picky at all.
As long as it was edible, she’d eat anything.
After that, they diligently shot for two more days, finally finishing on Sunday morning.
That same afternoon, the entire 602 Dormitory stayed in their rooms, quietly editing the video.
Perhaps because of the previous experience with Xie Zhuran and Lin An’s interventions, Song Qiuyu made every step extremely strict.
