“Ah! Finally finished my scene~”
Backstage, inside the White Snake Legend actors’ resting room, Ji Yueniang, who had just finished her part, rested her legs on the table and collapsed back into the chair, letting out a long sigh.
“I’m dead tired! They took the classic White Snake Legend and completely twisted it into the ‘Never Expected’ script. Even with the Bluetooth earpiece prompting me, reciting that long list of names in one go felt like my lungs were going to explode.”
“But…”
She raised her eyes to the mirror, looking at her own ancient-style pure maiden costume.
Bright eyes, gentle and kind, white teeth like jade, black hair flowing over her shoulders. Her brows and eyes still held a hint of youthful innocence. She wore a thin gauze short-sleeved emerald dress, with a fine emerald silk belt cinching her slender waist, the front slightly tightened, outlining her delicate curves.
A pure and fresh aura radiated from her, naturally drawing attention.
“Hiss!”
“This ancient costume totally hits my XP. No way! After this, that outfit’s mine. I’m an outside recruit, don’t pay me a salary, just give me this costume!”
As a crossdressing enthusiast, Ji Yueniang not only had a strong urge for female clothes, but also an intense collecting desire—like when she was a kid collecting cards. Whatever she hadn’t collected yet or that was newly released, she had to have it all.
However, she didn’t notice the door to the White Snake Legend resting room quietly cracked open a bit, and a figure silently stepped inside.
“This outfit’s nice, but something’s still missing. It doesn’t have that certain flavor.”
After staring at her costume for a moment, the crossdressing fan Ji Yueniang touched her chin and muttered softly.
As a man—especially one who loved crossdressing—she had an almost sixth sense for female clothing, always able to find the perfect match between pieces.
Not just about what looks best or most beautiful, but what most stimulates a man’s XP, how to perfectly play to a man’s taste.
Maybe it was true what they said: “Only a man understands another man.”
Suddenly, her gaze casually landed on the pair of emerald green embroidered shoes resting on the table.
Those shoes matched the Xiao Qing costume, but probably because she was an outsider, the size didn’t fit quite right. Any big movement would reveal her heel and ankle.
Under the soft lighting, her jade-like feet glowed with a seductive luster, light and supple, the instep pale and delicate, irresistibly captivating.
“That’s it—the shoes.” Her eyes suddenly brightened as she slipped them off. “What shoes you wear should come with anklet bells. When you step on the cold, white marble floor, each step rings out. Record that on video—that’s the ultimate aesthetic!!”
“Anklet bells?”
The next second, a pair of strong, slender arms reached around from behind, encircling her slim waist. The familiar masculine scent, mixed with a faint hint of tulip fragrance, suddenly filled her nose and mouth.
Ji Yueniang was shocked to realize she had been lifted and sat down on a chair. Before she could process what was happening, the boy behind her bent down and gently bit her earlobe.
“Mm~~”
Her ears had always been Ji Yueniang’s most sensitive spot. Taken completely off guard, she trembled involuntarily.
That electric-like tingling instantly spread through her entire body. The girl in ancient costume shuddered, her mind going blank in that instant.
“Jiang… Jiang Chi?!”
Even without seeing the boy behind her, the familiar action made Ji Yueniang vaguely certain of who it was.
“Qingchan, I’m jealous.” That magnetic voice carried a hint of slight grievance.
“You’re acting with another man.”
“Well… I’m an outside recruit, a temp…” The weak, helpless explanation spilled from her lips.
Her voice trembled and was husky, but to Jiang Chi’s ears, it sounded like a soft and coquettish plea.
“But you’re still with another man, without my permission.”
The voice held a trace of dissatisfaction and possessiveness: “I’m your boyfriend; you’re mine.”
Knowing that only a bad boy can tame a bad girl, Jiang Chi was already studying how to become one.
Like now, according to the book’s theory, as a boyfriend, he needed to give his girlfriend who acted with another man a small, unique punishment.
His gaze settled on the girl’s snow-white collarbone exposed during her struggle. His deep blue eyes darkened.
Ji Yueniang said nothing—in fact, she couldn’t make a sound, as a pale large hand covered her mouth. All that escaped was a soft “mmm” sound.
And so, she was pinned down on the table by the boy who had firmly decided to be a bad boy.
Her hands were restrained above her head, her long, straight legs curled together, her chest rising and falling lightly with nervousness. The sight was truly endearing.
Jiang Chi lowered his head and bit gently on the fragrant shoulder revealed through her disheveled clothing.
…
“Finally finished acting! I’m dead tired!”
“Lao Yao, do you think we can get first place?”
In a backstage corridor, Hu Li, dressed in plain white ancient-style female clothing, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, walked toward the dressing room, rubbing her waist and neck. Her face was a little weary, but still carried a bit of excitement.
Beside her was a boy dressed as a scholar, average looking but with a gentle and refined demeanor.
He thought for a moment and said, “Not sure, but now we can only leave it to fate. Don’t worry, I’ll make up the 5,000 yuan prize out of my own pocket if we don’t get first. Thanks for all your help, Lao Hu.”
“Dummy~ Who wants your money~” Hu Li muttered softly.
“Forget the 5,000 yuan. You’ve helped me so much lately, you even covered my exam fees. I haven’t properly thanked you. Tonight, I’ll treat you to a meal—just like the time Old Ji took us to that Kǎoyáng Diàn.”
“Deal.”
As they spoke, they reached the entrance of the resting room, the door slightly ajar.
Just as they were about to push it open, a soft, anguished scream suddenly erupted from inside—
“Ah!!!!!!!”
From their point of view, Jiang Chi was firmly leaning over Ji Qingchan, shaking his head, while Ji Qingchan was shouting and pushing him away.
Hu Li quickly covered her face with both hands, but her wide eyes peeked through her fingers, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Here? In broad daylight??
Jiang Chi is this wild?
Isn’t he the aloof campus heartthrob? The unreachable ice prince?
Hu Li was so shocked she stood frozen, not knowing what to do. When she finally snapped out of it, she hurriedly reached to pull Yao Shiming.
Yao Shiming was equally stunned beyond words, his mind consumed by a single thought.
No wonder Brother Ji has been calling the campus heartthrob a bastard lately. I thought they just didn’t get along. Now it looks like… Jiang Chi really is a dog!!
At this moment, Jiang Chi finally stopped moving, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, clearly pleased with his “punishment.”
The girl gasped, face flushed red, and unintentionally glanced at Hu Li and Yao Shiming by the door. Her face instantly deepened in color like a ripe apple.
Sensing something, Jiang Chi turned his head. Seeing the two at the door, he showed no embarrassment. Instead, he nodded calmly.
He lifted the limp girl from the table, looked at Yao Shiming, and rubbed a particularly obvious “mark” on her collarbone with his fingertips, as if declaring his ownership to everyone.
“She’s mine.”
Damn it! I told you to be strong and domineering—not to turn into a middle school weirdo!!
His possessive words sounded like a cheesy declaration of ownership to Ji Yueniang, making her want to slap Jiang Chi hard.
But with this move, Ji Yueniang felt weak all over, too embarrassed even to look for a hole to hide in. She could only cling helplessly to his chest.
“Hey, anyone here play the piano? Even a little skill is fine! Emergency help needed!!”
Just then, the resting room door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
A boy rushed in anxiously, his face full of worry.
But when he saw the scene inside, he was momentarily stunned.
Ji Yueniang quickly raised her hand high, afraid that if she moved too slowly, this boy would get embarrassed and turn to leave.
“I can.”
However, the same answer came from two different voices.
