Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 226: Good Girls Are Afraid of Clinging Men
"don't want?"
Looking at Su Cheng, whose face was red, eyes were evasive, lips were pouting, and there was a hint of shyness and sweetness on his face, and it was obvious that he was stubborn, Yuan Xudong smirked and said:
"Really?"
"don't want!"
"A dead duck is still stubborn!"
With his arms tightened, Yuan Xudong hugged Su Cheng's waist tightly, letting her stick close to his body and said with a smile:
"Why don't you want a man as good as me?"
"Pooh~~"
Spitting lightly and rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong who was boasting about himself, Su Cheng slightly turned his eyes away and said disdainfully:
"Shame on you! Apart from being good-looking and having a wealthy family, do you have any other advantages?"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to refute, she continued to criticize him:
"You are frivolous, jealous, petty, and narcissistic. You are totally useless, okay?"
"Am I that bad?"
"have!"
Looking at Su Cheng who was nodding like crazy, Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile and said:
"Another thing is that I am always self-righteous and like to force others to agree to my reasonable requests, just like now!"
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is..."
Before he finished speaking, seeing Su Cheng staring at him intently, waiting for the next words, Yuan Xudong lowered his head and kissed her red lips, prying open her pearly teeth, and felt a soft touch accompanied by a sweet and delicious taste.
"Hmm, umm..."
Opening her eyes slightly and patting Yuan Xudong gently, Su Cheng's face flashed with shyness and joy, and then she slowly calmed down and stopped struggling and resisting. Her hands involuntarily hooked around Yuan Xudong's neck, and she stood on tiptoe and closed her eyes slightly.
After a long time, they parted their lips. Looking at Su Cheng, whose face was flushed, eyes were evasive, and breathing was a little rapid, Yuan Xudong lifted her chin, looked into her big watery eyes and said jokingly:
"Are you still going to be stubborn?"
"You...you bully me!"
Slapping Yuan Xudong's right hand away, Su Cheng lowered her head and said shyly:
"Hurry up and let me go. I have to go back. I have to report to Xingyu Company tomorrow!"
"OK!"
Yuan Xudong hugged Su Cheng's waist and said with a sly smile:
"You can ask me to let you go, but will you promise to be my girlfriend?"
After struggling a bit, Su Cheng was held by Yuan Xudong and couldn't move. He lowered his head and said with some embarrassment:
"You're already like that, what else do you want me to say?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Looking at the shy Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong hugged her and said:
"Tell me now, will you be my girlfriend?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, and looking up at the somewhat complacent Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng couldn't help but glare at him, gently patting his chest and shyly said:
"Are you satisfied now? Let me go quickly, I want to go back to sleep!"
"All right!"
Letting go of Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong took her right hand and said gently:
"From now on, you are my girlfriend. I will take care of you, protect you, and cherish you, okay?"
"Okay~~"
Su Cheng laughed happily. It was the first time for her to fall in love. She felt very happy. She was a little shy but also felt a sense of happiness and sweetness that could not be stopped. She said:
"It's so late, I need to rest, you go back first, be careful on the road!"
"good!"
After gently pecking Su Cheng's lips, Yuan Xudong let go of her right hand and said with a smile:
"You go back first. I'll leave after you go upstairs. Good night!"
"Well, good night!"
After waving to Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng ran back with the red rose in her arms. After a while, she leaned out of the second-floor window again. Seeing Yuan Xudong still standing under the street light, she waved happily and said,
"Stingy guy, go back, drive slowly, be careful on the road, bye!"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to speak, Ye Qiao squeezed out from beside Su Cheng, waved and shouted to Yuan Xudong downstairs:
"Mr. Yuan, it's so late, don't go back, come up and squeeze in!"
"Ye Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Haha, you're blushing. Are you shy or embarrassed?"
"What?"
…
Seeing Su Cheng and Ye Qiao playing together, Yuan Xudong smiled and waved goodbye:
"Chengzi, Ye Qiao, I'm going to go back first. I wish you success in the audition, joining Star Entertainment Media, and becoming a big star soon. Good night!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan. Good night!"
"Good night!"
After Yuan Xudong drove away and disappeared around the corner, Ye Qiao patted the silly Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"Okay, Orange, stop looking, everyone has gone far away!"
When Su Cheng leaned back, Ye Qiao took her right hand and said jokingly:
"What a beautiful watch. Was it given to you by Mr. Yuan?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Su Cheng glanced at the exquisite silver-white watch on her right wrist, blushing shyly and said:
"I don't want it, but he insisted on giving it to me. I'll give it back to him tomorrow!"
"Such a beautiful watch, why don't you want it?"
Hearing that Su Cheng wanted to return the watch that Yuan Xudong gave her, Ye Qiao was a little confused and said:
"I know this brand. If you don't like this style, you can exchange it. How about I take you there tomorrow to exchange it for a style you like?"
Hearing Ye Qiao say that it was possible to change, Su Cheng said with some anticipation:
"Can I withdraw then?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Qiao rolled her eyes at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"Someone just gave you a gift and you're thinking of exchanging it for money. How about this, you tell Mr. Yuan not to give any gifts next time. It would be better to just give money, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wrinkling his nose and glaring at Ye Qiao, Su Cheng withdrew his right hand, stroked the exquisite watch and explained:
"I am short of money, but I won't exchange a gift given to me for money. I want to return it to give the money back to the stingy person. I can't just accept such an expensive watch with a clear conscience!"
"Orange, I'm just kidding you, are you angry?"
"No, am I that stingy?"
"That's good, hehe!"
With a laugh, Ye Qiao hugged Su Cheng and teased:
"I saw it all!"
"What do you see?"
"Keep pretending!"
After giving Su Cheng a blank look, Ye Qiao raised a smile and said:
"Mr. Yuan held you in his arms, and the two of you were being affectionate downstairs. He even kissed you several times. By the way, what does it feel like to kiss? Is there an electric shock-like feeling? This is what is written in romance novels. Is it true?"
"Oh, what are you talking about? How do I know if it's true?"
Gently pushing Ye Qiao away, Su Cheng blushed and said:
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to report to Xingyu Company tomorrow. I'm going to take off my makeup and go to bed. Good night!"
Seeing that Su Cheng wanted to leave, Ye Qiao quickly pulled her back and said with a smile:
"No, I can't sleep yet. Can you chat with me for a while? At most, I won't tell you about your kiss with Mr. Yuan, okay?"
"Okay, I'll chat with you for a while!"
Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Su Cheng placed the pillow on his thighs. He held his chin with both hands, looked at Ye Qiao, blinked, and smiled:
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
Sitting down next to Su Cheng, Ye Qiao put his arm around her shoulder and asked curiously:
"You don't want to accept the watch Mr. Yuan gave you. Apart from its high price, are there any other reasons? For example, you don't like this watch, or you don't like Mr. Yuan at all and don't want any gift from him?"
After that, without waiting for Su Cheng to say anything, Ye Qiao thought for a moment and continued:
"I am like this. If someone I don't like gives me anything, I won't accept it. If someone I like gives me anything, I will like it. Take my brother for example. Ever since my parents passed away, everything I eat, drink and use has been from my brother. He likes me and I like him too. Why should we be so clear about the differences?"
"How can this be the same?"
Su Cheng rolled his eyes at Ye Qiao and explained:
"Like you said, this watch is very beautiful and I like it very much, but it is too expensive and I can't afford it. If a stingy person gives me a gift, I must give him a gift in return, but..."
"I see!"
Without waiting for Su Cheng to finish, Ye Qiao snapped his fingers and suddenly realized:
"You are just trying to save face, aren't you? He gave you a very expensive gift, and you didn't have the money to buy an equally expensive gift in return, so you felt embarrassed. So you simply refused to accept expensive gifts from others, and only accepted those inexpensive gifts that you could afford to buy in return. Do you think I am right?"
"Yes, you are right. I am a person who is willing to suffer for his reputation even if it means losing face!"
After glaring at the outspoken Ye Qiao, Su Cheng thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. If someone doesn't mind if the gifts given by others are worthless, why should he mind if the gifts are valuable?
A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is insignificant but the sentiment is great. A gift of golden eggs from a thousand miles away is not as important as the sentiment? What the gift is is not important. What is important is whether the person who gives the gift is important. Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Qiao and smiled:
"Ye Qiao, thank you!"
"Thank me for what?"
"nothing!"
Shaking his head slightly, Su Cheng looked at the somewhat confused Ye Qiao and smiled:
"I have a bottle of red wine here. It was given to me by the stingy guy. Would you like to drink some?"
"OK!"
…
The next day, Su Cheng and Ye Qiao walked hand in hand into the office building where Xingyu Media was located. Su Cheng called Liu Mengtian again, but still couldn't get through. She couldn't help but glared at Ye Qiao and said:
"Look, it's all because of you that Tiantian doesn't even answer my calls anymore!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Ye Qiao looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"Maybe she's busy being affectionate with her boyfriend, how can she care about you?"
"It's because of you that Tiantian must be mad at me!"
"She's not angry, why don't you just..."
Before Ye Qiao could finish, several joking voices rang out beside him:
"Hey, little dragon, did you change your hairstyle?"
"Really? He's changed. Don't tell me , he looks completely different after this change of look!"
"That's right. If we throw it into the crowd this time, we probably won't be able to find it!"
“You guys…”
Seeing a few gossipers mocking her, Ye Qiao couldn't help but want to rush up to argue with them, but Su Cheng beside her quickly pulled her back and advised:
"Hey, where are you going? Didn't you tell me yesterday? Who cares? Why bother with them?"
"I don't care about them, I care about you!"
Glancing at Su Cheng, Ye Qiao waved his fist and said seriously:
"I'm going to go up and fight with them, and then wait for you to rescue me!"
After saying that, Ye Qiao rushed forward, and Su Cheng beside her quickly pulled her back, pouting and saying:
"Hey, don't go. I won't save you. Besides, there are four of them. I won't go looking for a fight!"
"Well, for your sake, I decided to let them go for now!"
Rolling his eyes at Ye Qiao who was pretending to be so pretentious, Su Cheng pulled her towards the big screen in front and said:
"Let's go and take a look. There are so many people gathered here. Is the list of finalists announced?"
"Excuse me, please move aside!"
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
Squeezing in front of the big screen and watching the list scrolling from bottom to top, Ye Qiao silently read out:
"Bai Xinlu , Su Cheng, Zhao Ruoxi, Ye Qiao!"
Seeing that Su Cheng and her name were both on the list, Ye Qiao couldn't help but hug Su Cheng's arm and jumped happily:
"We're in, we're in, we're both in!"
“Ah~~”
Seeing Ye Qiao and her own name, Su Cheng also jumped up and down like Ye Qiao, making soft and innocent sounds, with a happy smile on her face. After a while, she said with some concern:
“But the ranking is so far behind!”
"It doesn't matter. As long as we get in, we'll just have to keep working hard in the finals. Come on!"
"You're right, it's good as long as you get in, keep going!"
When Su Cheng adjusted his mentality, Liu Mengtian's name and competition photo appeared on the big screen. She was ranked fifth. Su Cheng couldn't help but clap his hands and said happily:
"Tiantian, Tiantian, Tiantian is so awesome, she ranks so high!"
"Why are you so happy?"
Ye Qiao rolled her eyes at Su Cheng, and thinking of Liu Mengtian's annoying look, she couldn't help but said unhappily:
"How come you are happier to see her advance than to your own? You are so stupid!"
"What are you talking about?"
After rolling his eyes at Ye Qiao, Su Cheng hugged her arm and said with a smile:
"Tiantian is my best friend. She successfully advanced through her own efforts. Of course I am happy for her!"
"She's your best friend, what about me?"
Turning her head away, Ye Qiao pouted and pretended to be unhappy:
"I'm jealous, what are you going to do?"
Giving Ye Qiao a blank look, Su Cheng shook her arm and said with a smile:
"Hey, Tiantian is my best girlfriend, and you are my best friend. You two are the best. Is that ok?"
“That’s more like it!”
Ye Qiao looked at Su Cheng and smiled:
"Since you are so sincere, I have decided to forgive you!"
“Eh~~”
Giving Ye Qiao a look of contempt, Su Cheng pulled her outside and said:
"As long as we advance, we will receive a subsidy of 800 yuan, which can solve many of my problems. Let's go and collect the money!"
"Eight hundred?"
…
After receiving the 800 yuan subsidy, Su Cheng and Ye Qiao learned about the subsequent audition arrangements at Xingyu Company. When they returned home, seeing Su Cheng's cautious look, Ye Qiao couldn't help but wonder:
"Orange, what are you doing? Breaking into your own home like a thief?"
"Sh ...
After closing the door, Su Cheng looked at Ye Qiao and whispered:
"Keep your voice down. If the landlord hears you, you're screwed. I haven't paid her this month's rent yet!"
"How much do you owe her?"
"Including water and electricity bills, the total is more than 4,000 yuan. I don't know what to do. I must successfully advance to the finals this time, and I will pay back the landlord's money after I get the prize money!"
"Isn't your boyfriend quite rich?"
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Qiao looked at Su Cheng, who was full of worry, and said with a smile:
"Give him a call, he will definitely be willing to help you, or you can move in with him. He's so rich, he must have his own house in Shanghai, maybe even a super luxurious villa, it must be comfortable to live in!"
"no!"
After glaring at Ye Qiao, Su Cheng sat down next to her and said:
"I'm not with him for his money. If I ask him for money or want to move in with him, who would I be? People who don't know me would think I'm a gold digger who's greedy for wealth and wants to get benefits from him!"
"Then you must..."
Before Ye Qiao could finish, there was a knock on the door, followed by the landlord's voice:
"Su Cheng, I heard your voice, open the door quickly!"
"I……"
