Chapter 36: Drugged
Kong Nanzhu's heart was stabbed. Qin Qi didn't usually talk to her about the entertainment industry. All the gossip and inside stories she knew about the entertainment industry came from Xu Qingqing.
She didn't feel uneasy before, because Song Linyuan was the first person to put the problem in front of her.
Usually when Kong Nanzhu and Qin Qi chat, Kong Nanzhu usually shares her daily life or her recent ideas for innovative makeup. Qin Qi rarely mentions his work, or the actors or friends around him.
Kong Nanzhu didn't know how to respond to Song Linyuan's words. She had to use a thousand lies to cover up one lie. She was unable to withstand Song Linyuan 's frank gaze. Fortunately, the waiter brought drinks and interrupted the conversation between the two.
The waiter was really clumsy, and was only concerned with glancing at Song Linyuan, so he didn't notice the socket switch sticking up under his feet. After he tripped, the coffee spilled all over the table. Kong Nanzhu quickly stood up and retreated, and his white sweatshirt was inevitably stained.
"Cell phone!" Song Linyuan quickly rushed to rescue the phone that Kong Nanzhu had placed on the table. The waiter was so scared that he kept apologizing. Others behind the counter rushed to the rescue with wet towels.
By the time Kong Nanzhu realized something was wrong, Song Linyuan was helping her wipe her phone screen with a tissue, staring at her screen meaningfully.
Her phone screensaver is a photo of her and Qin Qi.
Kong Nanzhu was anxious about getting her phone back, and sure enough, she heard Song Linyuan ask, "Is Qin Qi your brother?"
"Yes." Kong Nanzhu didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. Fortunately, she just said that she came to visit her brother, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Song Linyuan couldn't help but wonder, "He is your biological brother? Why do you two have different last names? Or is it that you have a special identity like me?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think we know each other well enough to have a conversation about these topics."
Song Linyuan looked sad. When he heard this, he almost cried. "Sister Nanzhu, I thought we were friends. I'm sorry. I offended you."
Kong Nanzhu loves to cry, but she can't stand seeing others cry, especially a tall boy like Song Linyuan. The speed at which his eyes turned red caught her off guard. "No, it's okay. I should go back."
"Sister Nanzhu, do you look down on me too?" Song Linyuan felt a little aggrieved, his beautiful eyebrows drooped, innocent and pitiful, "After returning to China, no one really treated me as a friend. The time I spent live streaming with you was the happiest and most promising time of my life. I was so happy that I had so many fans and so many people liked me."
Kong Nanzhu didn't even know how to say that he didn't want to contact her again.
Whenever Song Linyuan talked about his family before, he always looked depressed, as if he didn't care about each other's life or death. He also said that his father didn't care about him at all, as long as he didn't get into trouble. Kong Nanzhu suddenly felt sympathy.
In fact, she really likes Song Linyuan's cheerful and humorous personality. If Qin Qi hadn't said anything bad about him, Kong Nanzhu would never have thought that there was anything wrong with Song Linyuan.
"One's origin and family are not something one can choose. I don't look down on you. I don't know who you are. I just know that you are humorous and good at communicating with people. You are very suitable to be a host. As long as you keep doing it, more people will like you."
Kong Nanzhu didn't think he had said anything remarkable, nor did he notice that Song Linyuan's eyes were gradually brightening.
Song Linyuan received a call and said that his family was looking for him, so he left first. Kong Nanzhu went to the front desk to pay the bill, but was told that someone else had already paid.
Kong Nanzhu never saw when Song Linyuan came to the front desk.
“You can pay by scanning the QR code on the table,” the waiter explained.
Kong Nanzhu felt a little embarrassed. Now he owed someone a drink, and he didn't know how to tell them not to contact him again.
After returning to the hotel, Qin Qi went to take a shower first. As usual, he ordered room service. This time, Kong Nanzhu simply picked two dishes she wanted to eat. She had wasted too much yesterday, and when the waiter came to collect the plates, she hid in the bathroom, feeling very embarrassed.
Qin Qi did not forget to ask her for a massage. After taking a shower and drying his hair, he walked out wrapped in a bath towel. Kong Nanzhu watched him approaching her step by step, and her breathing became rapid.
Qin Qi guided her hand and rubbed the sore spot on his body, "It's sore here."
"Then go lie down on the bed and I'll give you a massage."
As they pressed, the positions of the two people switched.
Qin Qi's hand reached into Kong Nanzhu's silk pajamas, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let me give you a massage."
Kong Nanzhu's waist became weak due to his teasing. In order to avoid his big hand on her lower back, she was forced to stand up with her chest straightened, which was quite seductive. Qin Qi didn't wait for her to reply, "Okay, I get it, this place needs a massage."
After saying that, he pushed open the restraints on his chest with his hands and went straight in.
Kong Nanzhu had always thought that Qin Qi had been dull and cold since childhood, and seemed to have no interest in anything except movies. She had never expected that he had such a gangster side.
She felt like she had no future, as if she had forgotten the lesson from last night, and she let her guard down again under his kisses and caresses.
"Sister, you are so beautiful."
When he was moved, Qin Qi leaned over to Kong Nanzhu's ear and whispered.
Kong Nanzhu scratched Qin Qi's back with her nails. She didn't dare to use force to leave marks, but Qin Qi didn't care at all and left his marks one after another on her fair and delicate skin.
After taking a shower again, Kong Nanzhu looked at the mirror in the bathroom and angrily accused Qin Qi of being inhumane. She pointed at her collarbone and said, "It's all turned purple! This is flesh, flesh."
Qin Qi leaned against the bathroom door contentedly, "Well, I know. Next time, I'll suck on a place that won't cause bruises."
His eyes fell meaningfully on the open collar of Kong Nanzhu's bathrobe.
Kong Nanzhu felt a numbness on the back of his neck.
Is this the man who has just started eating meat?
For the next week, Kong Nanzhu stayed in the hotel without going out. He wrote promotion plans and recorded videos in the room during the day. At night, he waited for Qin Qi to come back. They stayed together until Kong Nanzhu was exhausted and begged for mercy.
Kong Nanzhu's thinking was also corrupted. When he saw Qin Qi, he wanted to take off his shirt. They tried many bold ways, rough, gentle, and even dramatic. In Qin Qi's words, he was now like a tyrant who was tripped by beauty. He finally understood what it felt like for "the king not to attend the court early in the morning."
"After the filming of this drama is finished, I will take a month off and stay at home with you every day without going out."
Kong Nanzhu thought that this was a very tactful way of putting it.
It’s better to stay in bed every day.
Even so, Qin Qi would still get up and go back to the set every morning when the alarm rang. Kong Nanzhu slept until noon, feeling sore all over, and couldn't understand how Qin Qi could be so energetic and strong.
Work during the day.
Work at night too.
Being three years younger is indeed different.
Kong Nanzhu liked the time when the two of them lay in bed and chatted intimately. The things they talked about were often not very meaningful. Qin Qi would occasionally share some celebrity gossip with her, but they were all trivial and insignificant things. Some of them were things that Xu Qingqing had already told her, and Kong Nanzhu would pretend to hear them for the first time to give him face and act surprised.
Qin Qi laughed at her for being stupid.
Sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night and turned her head to see Qin Qi's peaceful sleeping face, she would feel very satisfied and full of happiness.
Like a dream.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up. Kong Nanzhu was convinced that she and Qin Qi had become a normal couple, getting along harmoniously and being close to each other. She was finally able to forget her identity as a sister and face Qin Qi calmly as his wife.
The night before Kong Nanzhu was planning to return to Beijing, Qin Qi had dinner with the crew. He did not return until 11 o'clock in the evening and his phone was unreachable.
Kong Nanzhu contacted Xiao Liu, who looked confused. "The actors and teachers left the hotel at 10 o'clock and went back to their own places. After the show, I went out to play with other crew members. I was not with Teacher Qin."
Something is wrong.
Qin Qi reeked of alcohol when he came back.
Kong Nanzhu had never seen him drink so much before.
Qin Qi was drunk, with an unnatural blush on his face, and he was impatient and angry. Seeing Kong Nanzhu's eyes wandering, he rushed into the bathroom to get out the wine before he could say anything. Kong Nanzhu followed him and patted his back. When he got close, he smelled a sweet perfume.
