Chapter 22 Affair
Kong Nanzhu returned to the private room and saw that Du Ran's eye makeup was a little smudged and her eyes were still red. Kong Nanzhu couldn't help but wonder what had happened between them during the time he was away.
Afterwards, Qin Qi explained to her and Du Ran said that she was also a victim.
Although the photos were not taken by Du Ran, it was indeed the intention of her agency to fan the flames and guide fans to speak out. The popularity fell from the sky, and the company only pursued profits and did not care about her life or death. If something really happened, the people who took the photos would be blamed.
But what she was worried about was the suppression of her by Qin's capital. With her status, although she would not be shelved, it would only take a word for the Qin family to make several directors dare not use her.
Du Ran couldn't afford the risk, so tonight she apologized to Qin Qi in her personal capacity.
The moment Kong Nanzhu sat down, Qin Qi leaned over, alert as a cheetah, squinted his eyes and sniffed carefully with his nose, like a wild animal inspecting its territory.
An unfamiliar smell of men's perfume.
There was aromatherapy burning in the club, and in order to be able to smell each other's scent in such an environment, either there had to be close physical contact or a long time together.
"Who did you meet?" Qin Qi asked.
Kong Nanzhu was surprised. She didn't expect that he knew all this. She didn't want to hide it from him, so she lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear her and told the truth: "What a coincidence, I ran into Song Linyuan on the way to the bathroom. He's the Xi Chuang Zhu."
Qin Qiji frowned invisibly, "What is he doing here?"
"What are you talking about? This is a restaurant." Kong Nanzhu knew that Qin Qi was hostile to Song Linyuan, and was afraid that he would get jealous and Du Ran would see something, so she quickly changed the subject and took out powder and lipstick from her bag, "Ms. Du, this is the new lipstick I bought. If you don't mind, you can try the color."
It was their first meeting, and they were not close enough to use each other's lipstick. Du Ran immediately realized that Kong Nanzhu was reminding her that she should touch up her makeup. She took the powder puff with a smile, picked up her handbag, and went to the bathroom in the box.
As soon as Du Ran left, Qin Qi asked, "Are you full?"
She was full, but she was a little greedy and wanted to have another bowl of soup.
Qin Qi understood the meaning in her eyes and picked up the bowl to serve her. "What did you talk about?"
"We didn't talk about anything, just casually. He has always wanted to take me as his master and wanted me to guide him forever."
Seeing Qin Qi's unhappy expression, Kong Nanzhu immediately added, "But I think the live broadcast circle is very tacky. It's just a win-win situation. There's no need to do so many nonsense."
Kong Nanzhu didn't have the courage to tell Qin Qi that Song Linyuan had invited her to the bar. She was afraid that Qin Qi would directly cut off the possibility of their future cooperation.
Qin Qi grabbed Kong Nanzhu 's left hand under the table and gently scratched her palm in an ambiguous way, as if praising an obedient pet, "You did the right thing."
Du Ran left and came back in a hurry. As expected of a professional actor, she put on makeup very quickly. When she came out, Qin Qi and Kong Nanzhu were still holding hands under the table. Kong Nanzhu was so scared that she wanted to pull her hand back, but Qin Qi held her tightly and said, "She can't see."
Sure enough, Du Ran returned to his seat as if he didn't notice anything unusual.
Qin Qi scratched Kong Nanzhu's legs with his fingers, leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Do you feel like we're having an affair?"
There was a hint of laughter in his voice, which made Kong Nanzhu's scalp tingle.
This Qin Qi is really bold. Fortunately, the table is wide and Du Ran sitting opposite him cannot hear it.
After he said that, Kong Nanzhu, who originally didn't think there was anything wrong, now even felt that Qin Qi's action of picking up food for her was ambiguous.
Kong Nanzhu was a little dazed. If that was the case, then before they established a nominal romantic relationship , they had many such intimate and seamless interactions every day. Would it be the same between normal siblings?
She had never thought about this question before, but once this doubt arose, it kept surging in her mind, and the beautiful girl's mind was overwhelmed.
Could it be that Qin Qi has already had feelings for me for a long time?
When they were in school, Xu Qingqing always said that their interactions and the atmosphere didn't seem like those of a normal siblings. What would Du Ran think?
An affair.
Pretending to be brother and sister with her husband in front of and secretly doing little actions of holding hands and touching legs, the bad factor in Kong Nanzhu's body was awakened, and she actually felt a little excited.
When they went out, the three of them left the club separately. Even though they were in a very secretive situation and were at the center of the storm, they still had to be extra careful.
After getting in the car, Kong Nanzhu asked, "Did Du Ran cry just now?"
Qin Qi did not deny it, "She was just very emotional when she was talking, but the actor's tears were half real and half fake, after all, it's just a skill of eating."
Kong Nanzhu curled his lips and said, "What about you? Do you usually deliberately show your emotions?"
Qin Qi loosened his tie and leaned back on the leather seat. "Not in front of you."
Wow, you’re so sweet.
Qin Qi had been urging the driver to drive faster. The driver was an old man who had been driving for the Qin family for ten years. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "Master, I'm about to step on the accelerator and it's about to spark. I can't go any faster."
Qin Qi: "I'm a little anxious."
Kong Nanzhu thought about what they had not finished in the afternoon, and pretended to be dumb as he looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, not daring to look Qin Qi in the eye.
The driver misunderstood what I meant. "The map shows that there is a public toilet ahead. I have sunglasses and a hat here. How about I stop ahead?"
Qin Qi glanced at Kong Nanzhu, gave her a wicked smile, and touched her legs twice dishonestly with his fingers , "I can do it, but she probably can't accept it."
A ball of fire spread from her ears to Kong Nanzhu's cheeks. Of course, she understood what Qin Qi meant. She slapped his hand away from her leg and said, "You, don't even think about it."
Qin Qi teased her deliberately, "I mean the public toilets are dirty. You love cleanliness so much, you definitely don't want to go there. What's wrong with that?"
Kong Nanzhu closed his eyes.
Only a fool would compete with an actor in acting skills.
After returning home, Kong Nanzhu managed to negotiate time for a bath. Qin Qi knew that she was shy and resisted the urge to suggest taking a bath together. However, Kong Nanzhu sensed that he might have such an idea and carefully locked the bathroom door twice.
Qin Qi paced back and forth in the room. When he walked for the third time, he realized that his behavior was a bit like a sex-crazed hooligan, so he began to lie on the ground and do push-ups.
One, two, what color underwear is she wearing today?
Sixteen, seventeen, would it be more comfortable for her if she put a pillow under her?
Thirty-five, thirty-six, or just bring her into the group.
The bathroom door finally opened.
Qin Qi stood up too quickly and staggered, almost falling forward. He rushed directly in front of Kong Nanzhu. He raised his face and stared at Kong Nanzhu's hand that was holding the bath towel on his chest.
Beads of sweat rolled down Qin Qi's temples. Kong Nanzhu followed the track of the sweat and saw his slightly blue stubble.
Some, sexy.
Strong male hormones.
Kong Nanzhu lowered her head and stepped aside to make way for him to go to the bathroom. Qin Qi sniffed the fragrance of her hair and said, "I washed it when I got home this afternoon."
He didn't want to wait even a moment longer.
After saying that, he carried the person on his shoulders, walked to the bed in two steps, and pressed himself down together.
"Turn off the lights..."
Qin Qi ignored him and directly pulled off the bath towel.
Kong Nanzhu covered his eyes with his arms, one second, two seconds... Qin Qi suddenly became quiet.
"What's wrong?" She opened her eyes and found Qin Qi staring at the bath towel with a strange expression.
She followed his gaze downward.
My period is here.
Qin Qi: “…”
Kong Nanzhu: “…”
Qin Qi asked seriously, "Can I pretend I didn't see it?"
Kong Nanzhu felt like crying but had no tears. What was going on? Why was it so difficult for a married couple to have a happy life?
When Kong Nanzhu came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, Qin Qi was dressed neatly in sportswear, as if he was going out.
"You go to sleep first, I'm going to go for a run."
Kong Nanzhu felt guilty and took his hand. "It's too late. It's cold at night. You'll easily catch a cold if you go out for a run now."
She knew why Qin Qi wanted to go running. If he couldn't vent his energy, he would definitely not sleep well at night.
"Go sit by the bed."
Qin Qi had no idea what she wanted to do, but he did it anyway.
Kong Nanzhu turned off the lights and slowly squatted in front of Qin Qi under his surprised gaze.
"You, close your eyes."
Kong Nanzhu gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, trying his best not to appear incompetent.
Qin Qi smiled.
Smiling like a cunning fox.
"Okay." He closed his eyes obediently, and to reassure her, he even covered his eyes with his hands obediently.
In the long night, there is always someone awake.
