Lu Zhi Wei felt like this was a lethal question unlike any other.
If she answered wrongly, she would be fine, but Ying Xi Ze might not be.
So she answered decisively: “Of course not!
“How can that be, I just purely treat him as a little brother. He also purely treats me as an older sister, we’re definitely innocent. Really, don’t misunderstand!”
She didn’t understand why she put so much effort into explaining with Sang Wan Ci either.
But her desire to survive told her that she had to do it, or Sang Wan Ci would mind very much.
But her desire to survive didn’t tell her why Sang Wan Ci would mind, as if Lu Zhi Wei was thinking too much.
Could it be that she had misunderstood?
Sang Wan Ci wasn’t asking about romantic liking, but between a fan and an idol?
Then all the more she had to explain.
Sang Wan Ci cared the most about whether she climbed the wall or not!
Sang Wan Ci raised an eyebrow: “Really?”
Lu Zhi Wei quickly put three fingers up in a salute: “Really!”
No matter how many fan identities she had before, she absolutely only had two now, no more!
The dangerous aura from Sang Wan Ci’s body dissipated in a moment, returning to that calm-looking Sang Wan Ci.
The swiftness of the emergency feeling left Lu Zhi Wei feeling like she had mistaken it.
…… Could it really be that I had misunderstood the situation?
Sang Wan Ci easily believed what Lu Zhi Wei said.
In reality, she knew clearly that even if Lu Zhi Wei really liked Ying Xi Ze, she couldn’t do anything either.
She couldn’t be as shameless as Qiu Luo, she couldn’t pester the person she liked if they already said they liked someone else.
She could only selfishly hope that Lu Zhi Wei didn’t like men, that she didn’t like anybody else.
After hearing Lu Zhi Wei explain, she sighed in relief.
As long as she didn’t like him, it was good……
Lu Zhi Wei was suddenly curious.
Why would her fan suddenly say she liked Ying Xi Ze?
How could this one and only fan start rumours about her own idol!
“Wan Ci, bring the phone over for me to see.”
Sang Wan Ci saw Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t hold the phone, so she raised it up and adjusted the angle considerately.
Lu Zhi Wei looked at it.
Sang Wan Ci’s gaze gently brushed over the side of her face, then she explained: “Your phone screen wasn’t locked, I didn’t mean to look intentionally.”
Lu Zhi Wei nodded as she read the chat: “Mm, it’s fine, you can look whenever you want.”
She didn’t mind.
Since the moment she awkwardly exposed her identity as a Meng Lian Yu fan in front of Sang Wan Ci, there was nothing else in her phone that Sang Wan Ci couldn’t see.
Lu Zhi Wei: 【Whatever, my heart’s already numb.JPG】
Qiao Qiao’s conjecture was shown on the screen.
Because Lu Zhi Wei had knitted a birthday gift for Ying Xi Ze, and they were the only two people in the production crew who interacted on Weibo.
So Qiao Qiao had analysed it like she was solving a maths problem, “because” then followed by “therefore” to come up with an outrageous conclusion.
Lu Zhi Wei: “……”
What kind of nonsense ability to connect was this……
Just because they interacted on Weibo and because of a hat?
As someone who liked Lu Zhi Wei, Sang Wan Ci also felt that Qiao Qiao’s conjecture was too casual.
Love can’t be seen only from the surface, it had to be seen from the inside.
Although she didn’t interact with Lu Zhi Wei on Weibo, but they had already had their first kiss together, so they were ahead of everybody else!
But, since this Qiao Qiao felt like there had to be interaction on Weibo…… Then she would post one tonight.
And post another one tomorrow, and another the following day……
With the people involved personally showing that their relationship was good, the fans wouldn’t be able to come up with other ideas!
Anyway, as long as there was anything to be done with Lu Zhi Wei, she would do it all, she couldn’t lose to anyone.
If she lost, she wouldn’t have a jiejie anymore.
Lu Zhi Wei raised her hand, using the back to rub her face, accidentally smearing some flour on.
She was about to take the phone, then stopped when she realised she was kneading the dough and her hands were covered in flour.
She could only trouble Sang Wan Ci: “Wan Ci, could you please help me reply.
“Just say I only treat Xiao Ying as a younger brother, it’s not that complicated, don’t think too much.”
A rumour that started from one person would end up being spread by thousands.
She didn’t want this rumour to leak out and harm both her and the innocent Ying Xi Ze.
“Okay.” Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com
Sang Wan Ci immediately went to work for love.
[Lu Zhi Wei]: It’s a misunderstanding.
[Lu Zhi Wei]: I only treat him as a younger brother, so our relationship is slightly better, please don’t think too much.
That’s right, slightly better.
Not as good as her and Lu Zhi Wei.
Nobody would be as good as her and Lu Zhi Wei.
She originally wanted to ask Lu Zhi Wei if she could send it like that.
Turning her head, she saw the flour on Lu Zhi Wei’s face.
But Lu Zhi Wei didn’t seem to notice it at all, kneading the dough seriously.
Her lowered eyes, the serious expression and her pale skin.
Everything was oozing cuteness.
Why was it that she was so cute now no matter what she did?
With this thought in mind, Sang Wan Ci raised her hand to wipe away the flour on Lu Zhi Wei’s face.
The sudden skin contact made Lu Zhi Wei pause.
Sang Wan Ci explained: “You’ve got flour there.”
Then Lu Zhi Wei relaxed: “Is that so, it probably got smudged on just now.”
Sang Wan Ci chuckled: “Mm, probably.”
After returning to her senses from how cute Lu Zhi Wei was, she recalled she wanted to let Lu Zhi Wei read the reply.
Lu Zhi Wei looked at it.
It was formal and stern, very much like how Sang Wan Ci spoke over the phone.
Looking at it, people who didn’t know would probably think the entertainment company had taken over her account.
“Mm, it’s fine to send that, let’s go with it, I’ve troubled you.”
“No trouble,” Sang Wan Ci treated Lu Zhi Wei’s phone as if it was her own, locking the screen and putting it into her pocket, then bit on a biscuit as she said: “I’ll help you.”
Lu Zhi Wei didn’t agree: “There’s nothing I need your help with now, just finish your biscuits, you can go sit outside.”
Sang Wan Ci didn’t want to leave, quietly biting into the soda biscuit she was holding.
She would be alone if she went out anyway, so why not stay here and cling to Lu Zhi Wei?
She wanted to let Lu Zhi Wei fall for her, how could she give up such a good opportunity to spend time together?
“Have you eaten?” Sang Wan Ci asked.
“I ate a bit when I came back.” Lu Zhi Wei answered as she continued kneading the dough.
Once she finished speaking, half a soda biscuit appeared at the side of her mouth.
“Eat it.” She heard Sang Wan Ci say.
Then her mouth slowly opened involuntarily.
“Crunch”, a small piece was bit off.
She held it in her mouth, forgetting to chew as she turned to look at Sang Wan Ci.
Just in time to see her pull her hand back and place the biscuit that Lu Zhi Wei had just bitten into her mouth.
Lu Zhi Wei reminded her: “I bit that……”
Sang Wan Ci replied calmly: “It’s fine if it’s you.”
Lu Zhi Wei felt like she was being flirted with again.
She couldn’t help but start to suspect her position in Sang Wan Ci’s heart.
Could it be, she was slightly more important than others?
But it wasn’t uncommon…… for friends to share a biscuit.
It looks like she had thought too much again.
Their Teacher Sang purely took her as a close friend.
—— Although she didn’t know which good friend would keep hugging her from behind.
“What’s wrong?” Her hands stopped.
“Nothing,” Sang Wan Ci leaned against her shoulder. “I don’t want to be by myself, I want to be with you.”
A single sentence that had a double meaning.
If only Lu Zhi Wei could figure out the double meaning.
But she clearly didn’t.
“If that’s the case, okay, then stay here and chat with me. Being alone with the dough is boring too. When the dough and filling is ready, I’ll teach you how to wrap the dumplings, okay?”
“Okay.”
As long as I’m with you, anything is okay.
With Sang Wan Ci around, Lu Zhi Wei was indeed not so bored.
The two of them chatted about random things.
Sang Wan Ci asked how the audition went.
Lu Zhi Wei recalled the process, expressing that it was so smooth that it didn’t feel real.
Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci gently stroked her hair: “Everything will go well, don’t worry.”
Her voice gently brushed against Lu Zhi Wei’s ear, and as if by magic, Lu Zhi Wei’s heart settled and she really stopped worrying.
Hopefully it would be as she said, everything would go well.
…
Sang Wan Ci learnt how to wrap dumplings from Lu Zhi Wei, and when the food was on the table, she specially took nine photos and posted them to Weibo.
Caption: Eating dumplings today @Lu Zhi Wei
Even though the person she liked was beside her, she didn’t forget about having to interact on Weibo.
And it was a good time for Lu Zhi Wei to enter the public’s gaze, so if she could give her an additional way to get popular, that would be best.
She also hoped that the netizens would notice Lu Zhi Wei sooner.
This was her treasure, she was pretty, cute and excellent.
Come like her, she won’t let you down. She’s worthy of being liked.
It was rare for Sang Wan Ci to post about something outside of work, so the comments section was getting heated in just half an hour.
@Dirty talker: Ahhhhhhhhh this beauty has posted, save it save it!
@I’m so hungry I’m so hungry I’m so hungry: Good fellow, it’s this jiejie again. Why can’t you two escape eating when you’re together? You’re really instant noodle buddies? [dog head] [dog head] [dog head]
@19th August: Baby, your dumpling wrapping skills, mommy really can’t compliment you, it really is a bit ugly [dog head] it’s better to let your little jiejie do it
@Woohoo, I’m flying: A beauty doesn’t need to know how to cook, a beauty just needs to know how to eat [rose]
She looked at it then picked a few fans to reply.
Putting down her phone, she said to Lu Zhi Wei: “I took photos and posted them to Weibo.”
Lu Zhi Wei placed the sauce in front of her: “Is it? I’ll go take a look.”
Lu Zhi Wei reposted Sang Wan Ci’s Weibo post and captioned it with a “support” emoji.
She suspected Sang Wan Ci was helping her distract people.
It was her fault her circle was too small, making Qiao Qiao misunderstand.
Now that she had interacted with Sang Wan Ci too, Qiao Qiao probably wouldn’t misunderstand that she had any feelings for Ying Xi Ze.
She gratefully took a dumpling for Sang Wan Ci.
She would definitely continue treating such a kind and considerate female lead well!

Lu Si Jiao had two back-to-back classes in the afternoon, and she finally ended her day.
Taking her phone out of the phone bag[1], the first thing she did was to look at her direct messages on Weibo.
After all, it was her sister’s happiness at stake, it would be tough not to be curious.
Then she saw the two formal replies.
Lu Si Jiao: “……?”
So strict, so formal, Lu Zhi Wei had never spoken to her like that before in her memory.
Was it her assistant?
But Lu Zhi Wei said she didn’t have an assistant now.
Was it her manager?
That can’t be right either, Lu Zhi Wei said the account was managed by her for now, the manager wouldn’t help for now.
Then it must be her!
Lu Si Jiao’s face suddenly became serious.
It’s clear that this matter was serious and couldn’t be joked about, seeing that Lu Zhi Wei was speaking so sternly.
It would be creating rumours.
It looks like her jie really didn’t like Ying Xi Ze, just treating him as a brother.
Thinking about it, Lu Si Jiao suddenly felt annoyed.
Her own sister knitting a hat for someone else as a birthday present and treating them as a brother.
But her, this biological meimei, hadn’t sen her sister in so long and hadn’t received her sister’s handmade present……
With this comparison, she was more like a stranger to her jiejie despite being her biological meimei.
To Lu Si Jiao, who wanted to repair her relationship with her sister, this was a big blow.
She didn’t want money, she wanted something handmade from her sister too……
She subconsciously opened Ying Xi Ze’s post with the nine photos.
Looking at it, she felt like she had taken a bite out of a lemon.
—— Ahhhhhh I’m so sour, I’m the biological one, he’s adopted!
…
At a magazine photoshoot.
Ying Xi Ze kept sneezing, then he touched the back of his neck.
Why did it feel…… cold.
He opened Weibo, wanting to see if some odd rumours had caused people to scold him.
But it turned out Weibo was calm.
What was unexpected was Sang Wan Ci had posted a Weibo post.
Lu Zhi Wei even reposted it after.
He opened it out of curiosity.
Opening the photo, it was only then that he knew Lu Zhi Wei could cook.
The dumplings were all beautifully wrapped, especially when contrasted with the ones made by Sang Wan Ci, each of them looked like angels.
He felt himself getting hungry.
He liked the post and reposted it, with an expression.
Next time, he wanted to try Lu Zhi Wei’s cooking too!
… Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com
Lu Si Jiao had just bought takeout from the canteen and was preparing to go back to her dorm.
She scrolled through Weibo as she climbed up the stairs.
Lu Zhi Wei had reposted Sang Wan Ci’s post on the dumplings.
Ying Xi Ze reposted her repost and added an expression: Can I go to your place to have a spoonful?
Lu Zhi Wei hadn’t replied, but Sang Wan Ci did.
Ying Xi Ze struck up the conversation with her on Weibo, one person retorting at a time, the two of them not forgetting to bring in Lu Zhi Wei.
@Sang Wan Ci V: One spoonful is too much, at most I’ll give you two.
@Ying Xi Ze Ze Ze Ze V: ? So stingy, I’m gonna tell teacher
@Sang Wan Ci V: ?
@Ying Xi Ze Ze Ze Ze V: @Lu Zhi Wei Jie, look at her, she’s bullying me. Help me teach her a lesson, eat all the dumplings and leave just two for her [dog head]
@Sang Wan Ci V: ? Childish. @Lu Zhi Wei She listens to me, not to you.
The netizens were enjoying the show.
@Ah, I’m such a noob: Other people end up developing feelings through acting, you two developed a sister through acting???
@Excellent air: 《Phoenix》 hasn’t even started airing, the main leads are already starting to promote it?
@Please type in the content you want: This is promotion? Isn’t this two kindergarten kids fighting over an older sister?
@Relative clause: Very good, this jiejie has successfully caught my attention! I also want to go to jiejie‘s house to eat!
Lu Si Jiao was suddenly confused at seeing so many comments on Lu Zhi Wei’s Weibo.
Were the two of them trying to help her sister get more popular……
But she was really sour looking at Ying Xi Ze call Lu Zhi Wei so intimately……
She opened WeChat and looked for the chat with Lu Zhi Wei, despondently sending out a message: [Jie……]
Lu Zhi Wei replied quickly: [What’s wrong?]
Lu Si Jiao really wanted to send a “I want to eat your dumplings too”.
But thinking about it, she had to hide her identity and not make her sister awkward, so she changed the message.
[Lu Si Jiao]: The food in our canteen isn’t good, do you know how to cook? Can I eat your cooking next time?
Separated by the screen, Lu Zhi Wei could almost see the aggrieved expression on her face.
She could cook for her, but Lu Zhi Wei had no way to send her the food now……
She thought about it and typed.
[Lu Zhi Wei]: Of course, if you want to eat
[Lu Zhi Wei]: But not now, jiejie has no time to send the food to you
[Lu Zhi Wei]: How about this, when I move to a new place, you can come over for a meal?
Seeing the last message, Lu Si Jiao’s happiness was visible in her eyes.
Move to a new place?
She’s finally willing to tell me her address?
Great!
[Lu Si Jiao]: Okay, okay
[Lu Si Jiao]: Then when will you be moving?
[Jie]: Not sure yet
[Jie]: But it should be before you have your summer break, so you can come over during then
[Lu Si Jiao]: Okay!
[Lu Si Jiao]: It’s settled then!
[Jie]: Mm, it’s settled
After making that agreement, Lu Si Jiao suddenly felt the air was incredibly fresh.
She would definitely be able to eat dumplings before Ying Xi Ze!
Not just two!
Lu Zhi Wei put her phone down, calculating in her heart.
All the money saved up over the years, and with the money from these two shows and a few small roles…… Paying the full amount for an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room and a washroom might be a bit tough, but it’d be enough for the downpayment!
If Sang Wan Ci came to her house again, she wouldn’t have to squeeze with her on a small bed again.
She could be someone who could have people over!
Sang Wan Ci had no idea what Lu Zhi Wei was thinking, she was preparing to send the dumplings to the other actors living on the same floor.

Ater a period of recovery, Lu Zhi Wei’s hand was completely healed.
She could finally go back to filming.
From now on, she had to change to the demon general’s red outfit. The innocent, naive little junior sister had long vanished from this world.
After the change, the demonised little junior sister and the male lead’s scenes started to overlap.
Because the demon prince had ordered for the male lead to be killed, the little junior sister had to obey his orders as a demon general. So there were a few scenes where the little junior sister was chasing after the male lead and fighting with him.
Until the female lead Qiao Jing saw the little junior sister who had become a demon.
After Qiao Jing and the little junior sister reunited in another way, the demon prince changed his strategy, using the little junior sister to deal with Qiao Jing.
Because he realised that the female lead who could kill monsters like she was slicing through weeds was unable to harm the little junior sister.
Therefore, the little junior sister was never to return from the road of being used.
Lu Zhi Wei wore the red gown and red contact lenses, a completely different vibe from before.
She held onto the script and said “the little junior sister is really pitiful”.
But how could a “pitiful” begin to describe the little junior sister’s life?
Sang Wan Ci also felt the little junior sister was pitiful, and that Lu Zhi Wei was also pitiful.
They had worked together twice, and both times, Lu Zhi Wei’s character didn’t have a good ending.
She raised a hand and smoothed down Lu Zhi Wei’s hair.
“Hopefully the next time we work together, you won’t have to act in these kind of roles.”
She had to live well, not die because of her.
Lu Zhi Wei turned her head to look at her.
After becoming a demon, the little junior sister’s style was more seductive and charming, less innocent.
If she didn’t move, there was a hint of that air. But when she smiled, she was still that most innocent person.
“I hope so too.” She smiled.
It couldn’t always be a bad ending when they worked together, or Lu Zhi Wei would be wondering what kind of secret hint is the universe giving them.
The scene was set.
Guo Hui let the actors take their spots.
Lu Zhi Wei waved at Sang Wan Ci, then ran to her spot and waited.
When Guo Hui called for it to start, all the actors got into character.
These few scenes were just quick flashbacks in the drama.
It was mostly to show the brutality of the demon prince. Under his command, the demon generals were slaughtering the masses.
Sang Wan Ci stared at Lu Zhi Wei.
Once Guo Hui called action, her expression had immediately changed.
Cold and merciless, there wasn’t the slightest hint of warmth or gentleness. She was a killing machine.
Lu Zhi Wei had been taking lessons from one of the martial arts teachers in the production crew and the effect was good. She was moving elegantly and smoothly on the screen, combining both the powerful and ruthless demon general with the little junior sister.
It was as if she wasn’t acting, but she really was the little junior sister.
Cooly turning around, her hands in claws.
With a fixed gaze, she stepped forward and grabbed a person by the neck.
The camera captured a close-up of her, her eyes were as cold as her moves, without even a bit of warmth.
She completely separated the little junior sister’s past and present.
The little junior sister was innocent and naive, the demon general was cold and merciless.
The little junior sister loved to smile, the demon general didn’t have any expression.
It was the difference between the past and present, and it was also the difference between life and death.
—— The cute, lively little girl from before was gone.
Sang Wan Ci folded her arms in front of her chest as she watched silently as Lu Zhi Wei showed off her acting skills.
Until Guo Hui shouted to cut.
Lu Zhi Wei’s expression relaxed and her eyes became warmer. She gently patted the camera, as if she was patting a dog, then turned to get ready for the next scene.
How cute. Sang Wan Ci thought.
At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated.
[Teacher]: You’ve changed your diet?
[Teacher]: It’s good, this time your father finally believes that you’re not at the stage where you can only eat instant noodles
Sang Wan Ci smiled.
[Sang Wan Ci]: With her around, I’ve been eating well lately.
She had been eating well, but as a celebrity, she knew her limits and she still did the same exercises she did to stay in shape.
[Teacher]: [Photo] [Photo] [Photo]
[Teacher]: Are these really dumplings that you guys wrapped? It looks pretty well done and delicious
Sang Wan Ci looked at Lu Zhi Wei, who was acting seriously and didn’t know she had been praised by her idol.
Then she looked down and her fingers swiped across the screen.
[Sang Wan Ci]: Next time, if there’s an opportunity, I can get her to cook for you.
[Teacher]: That would be troubling her
[Sang Wan Ci]: No trouble.
[Sang Wan Ci]: To be able to make dumplings for Aunty, she would definitely be very happy.
Very, very happy.
……
《Phoenix》 finally started broadcasting.
On the day that the first episode aired, the ratings shot past 1% and continued climbing.
On the third day after the first episode aired, Lu Zhi Wei also received a piece of good news.
“You’re chosen!” Wen Yao’s voice was extremely agitated.
Lu Zhi Wei paused, asking incredulously: “What did you say?”
Wen Yao was overjoyed: “I said, your audition went through, Director Liu Zhao said he wants you for the female lead!”
Lu Zhi Wei stood there, staring into the distance.
After a long while, she finally digested the news, happiness slowly creeping onto her face.
Her lips couldn’t help but twist upwards, her smile growing more and more radiant.
The moment Sang Wan Ci walked out of the washroom, Lu Zhi Wei hurtled into her arms.
“I was chosen, Wan Ci, I was really chosen!”
The little transparent entity could finally be a main lead!!!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci gently stroked her hair: “Everything will go well, don’t worry.”
Her voice gently brushed against Lu Zhi Wei’s ear, and as if by magic, Lu Zhi Wei’s heart settled and she really stopped worrying.
Hopefully it would be as she said, everything would go well.
…
Sang Wan Ci learnt how to wrap dumplings from Lu Zhi Wei, and when the food was on the table, she specially took nine photos and posted them to Weibo.
Caption: Eating dumplings today @Lu Zhi Wei
Even though the person she liked was beside her, she didn’t forget about having to interact on Weibo.
And it was a good time for Lu Zhi Wei to enter the public’s gaze, so if she could give her an additional way to get popular, that would be best.
She also hoped that the netizens would notice Lu Zhi Wei sooner.
This was her treasure, she was pretty, cute and excellent.
Come like her, she won’t let you down. She’s worthy of being liked.
It was rare for Sang Wan Ci to post about something outside of work, so the comments section was getting heated in just half an hour.
@Dirty talker: Ahhhhhhhhh this beauty has posted, save it save it!
@I’m so hungry I’m so hungry I’m so hungry: Good fellow, it’s this jiejie again. Why can’t you two escape eating when you’re together? You’re really instant noodle buddies? [dog head] [dog head] [dog head]
@19th August: Baby, your dumpling wrapping skills, mommy really can’t compliment you, it really is a bit ugly [dog head] it’s better to let your little jiejie do it
@Woohoo, I’m flying: A beauty doesn’t need to know how to cook, a beauty just needs to know how to eat [rose]
She looked at it then picked a few fans to reply.
Putting down her phone, she said to Lu Zhi Wei: “I took photos and posted them to Weibo.”
Lu Zhi Wei placed the sauce in front of her: “Is it? I’ll go take a look.”
Lu Zhi Wei reposted Sang Wan Ci’s Weibo post and captioned it with a “support” emoji.
She suspected Sang Wan Ci was helping her distract people.
It was her fault her circle was too small, making Qiao Qiao misunderstand.
Now that she had interacted with Sang Wan Ci too, Qiao Qiao probably wouldn’t misunderstand that she had any feelings for Ying Xi Ze.
She gratefully took a dumpling for Sang Wan Ci.
She would definitely continue treating such a kind and considerate female lead well!

Lu Si Jiao had two back-to-back classes in the afternoon, and she finally ended her day.
Taking her phone out of the phone bag[1], the first thing she did was to look at her direct messages on Weibo.
After all, it was her sister’s happiness at stake, it would be tough not to be curious.
Then she saw the two formal replies.
Lu Si Jiao: “……?”
So strict, so formal, Lu Zhi Wei had never spoken to her like that before in her memory.
Was it her assistant?
But Lu Zhi Wei said she didn’t have an assistant now.
Was it her manager?
That can’t be right either, Lu Zhi Wei said the account was managed by her for now, the manager wouldn’t help for now.
Then it must be her!
Lu Si Jiao’s face suddenly became serious.
It’s clear that this matter was serious and couldn’t be joked about, seeing that Lu Zhi Wei was speaking so sternly.
It would be creating rumours.
It looks like her jie really didn’t like Ying Xi Ze, just treating him as a brother.
Thinking about it, Lu Si Jiao suddenly felt annoyed.
Her own sister knitting a hat for someone else as a birthday present and treating them as a brother.
But her, this biological meimei, hadn’t sen her sister in so long and hadn’t received her sister’s handmade present……
With this comparison, she was more like a stranger to her jiejie despite being her biological meimei.
To Lu Si Jiao, who wanted to repair her relationship with her sister, this was a big blow.
She didn’t want money, she wanted something handmade from her sister too……
She subconsciously opened Ying Xi Ze’s post with the nine photos.
Looking at it, she felt like she had taken a bite out of a lemon.
—— Ahhhhhh I’m so sour, I’m the biological one, he’s adopted!
…
At a magazine photoshoot.
Ying Xi Ze kept sneezing, then he touched the back of his neck.
Why did it feel…… cold.
He opened Weibo, wanting to see if some odd rumours had caused people to scold him.
But it turned out Weibo was calm.
What was unexpected was Sang Wan Ci had posted a Weibo post.
Lu Zhi Wei even reposted it after.
He opened it out of curiosity.
Opening the photo, it was only then that he knew Lu Zhi Wei could cook.
The dumplings were all beautifully wrapped, especially when contrasted with the ones made by Sang Wan Ci, each of them looked like angels.
He felt himself getting hungry.
He liked the post and reposted it, with an expression.
Next time, he wanted to try Lu Zhi Wei’s cooking too!
… Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com
Lu Si Jiao had just bought takeout from the canteen and was preparing to go back to her dorm.
She scrolled through Weibo as she climbed up the stairs.
Lu Zhi Wei had reposted Sang Wan Ci’s post on the dumplings.
Ying Xi Ze reposted her repost and added an expression: Can I go to your place to have a spoonful?
Lu Zhi Wei hadn’t replied, but Sang Wan Ci did.
Ying Xi Ze struck up the conversation with her on Weibo, one person retorting at a time, the two of them not forgetting to bring in Lu Zhi Wei.
@Sang Wan Ci V: One spoonful is too much, at most I’ll give you two.
@Ying Xi Ze Ze Ze Ze V: ? So stingy, I’m gonna tell teacher
@Sang Wan Ci V: ?
@Ying Xi Ze Ze Ze Ze V: @Lu Zhi Wei Jie, look at her, she’s bullying me. Help me teach her a lesson, eat all the dumplings and leave just two for her [dog head]
@Sang Wan Ci V: ? Childish. @Lu Zhi Wei She listens to me, not to you.
The netizens were enjoying the show.
@Ah, I’m such a noob: Other people end up developing feelings through acting, you two developed a sister through acting???
@Excellent air: 《Phoenix》 hasn’t even started airing, the main leads are already starting to promote it?
@Please type in the content you want: This is promotion? Isn’t this two kindergarten kids fighting over an older sister?
@Relative clause: Very good, this jiejie has successfully caught my attention! I also want to go to jiejie‘s house to eat!
Lu Si Jiao was suddenly confused at seeing so many comments on Lu Zhi Wei’s Weibo.
Were the two of them trying to help her sister get more popular……
But she was really sour looking at Ying Xi Ze call Lu Zhi Wei so intimately……
She opened WeChat and looked for the chat with Lu Zhi Wei, despondently sending out a message: [Jie……]
Lu Zhi Wei replied quickly: [What’s wrong?]
Lu Si Jiao really wanted to send a “I want to eat your dumplings too”.
But thinking about it, she had to hide her identity and not make her sister awkward, so she changed the message.
[Lu Si Jiao]: The food in our canteen isn’t good, do you know how to cook? Can I eat your cooking next time?
Separated by the screen, Lu Zhi Wei could almost see the aggrieved expression on her face.
She could cook for her, but Lu Zhi Wei had no way to send her the food now……
She thought about it and typed.
[Lu Zhi Wei]: Of course, if you want to eat
[Lu Zhi Wei]: But not now, jiejie has no time to send the food to you
[Lu Zhi Wei]: How about this, when I move to a new place, you can come over for a meal?
Seeing the last message, Lu Si Jiao’s happiness was visible in her eyes.
Move to a new place?
She’s finally willing to tell me her address?
Great!
[Lu Si Jiao]: Okay, okay
[Lu Si Jiao]: Then when will you be moving?
[Jie]: Not sure yet
[Jie]: But it should be before you have your summer break, so you can come over during then
[Lu Si Jiao]: Okay!
[Lu Si Jiao]: It’s settled then!
[Jie]: Mm, it’s settled
After making that agreement, Lu Si Jiao suddenly felt the air was incredibly fresh.
She would definitely be able to eat dumplings before Ying Xi Ze!
Not just two!
Lu Zhi Wei put her phone down, calculating in her heart.
All the money saved up over the years, and with the money from these two shows and a few small roles…… Paying the full amount for an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room and a washroom might be a bit tough, but it’d be enough for the downpayment!
If Sang Wan Ci came to her house again, she wouldn’t have to squeeze with her on a small bed again.
She could be someone who could have people over!
Sang Wan Ci had no idea what Lu Zhi Wei was thinking, she was preparing to send the dumplings to the other actors living on the same floor.
…… Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com
Ater a period of recovery, Lu Zhi Wei’s hand was completely healed.
She could finally go back to filming.
From now on, she had to change to the demon general’s red outfit. The innocent, naive little junior sister had long vanished from this world.
After the change, the demonised little junior sister and the male lead’s scenes started to overlap.
Because the demon prince had ordered for the male lead to be killed, the little junior sister had to obey his orders as a demon general. So there were a few scenes where the little junior sister was chasing after the male lead and fighting with him.
Until the female lead Qiao Jing saw the little junior sister who had become a demon.
After Qiao Jing and the little junior sister reunited in another way, the demon prince changed his strategy, using the little junior sister to deal with Qiao Jing.
Because he realised that the female lead who could kill monsters like she was slicing through weeds was unable to harm the little junior sister.
Therefore, the little junior sister was never to return from the road of being used.
Lu Zhi Wei wore the red gown and red contact lenses, a completely different vibe from before.
She held onto the script and said “the little junior sister is really pitiful”.
But how could a “pitiful” begin to describe the little junior sister’s life?
Sang Wan Ci also felt the little junior sister was pitiful, and that Lu Zhi Wei was also pitiful.
They had worked together twice, and both times, Lu Zhi Wei’s character didn’t have a good ending.
She raised a hand and smoothed down Lu Zhi Wei’s hair.
“Hopefully the next time we work together, you won’t have to act in these kind of roles.”
She had to live well, not die because of her.
Lu Zhi Wei turned her head to look at her.
After becoming a demon, the little junior sister’s style was more seductive and charming, less innocent.
If she didn’t move, there was a hint of that air. But when she smiled, she was still that most innocent person.
“I hope so too.” She smiled.
It couldn’t always be a bad ending when they worked together, or Lu Zhi Wei would be wondering what kind of secret hint is the universe giving them.
The scene was set.
Guo Hui let the actors take their spots.
Lu Zhi Wei waved at Sang Wan Ci, then ran to her spot and waited.
When Guo Hui called for it to start, all the actors got into character.
These few scenes were just quick flashbacks in the drama.
It was mostly to show the brutality of the demon prince. Under his command, the demon generals were slaughtering the masses.
Sang Wan Ci stared at Lu Zhi Wei.
Once Guo Hui called action, her expression had immediately changed.
Cold and merciless, there wasn’t the slightest hint of warmth or gentleness. She was a killing machine.
Lu Zhi Wei had been taking lessons from one of the martial arts teachers in the production crew and the effect was good. She was moving elegantly and smoothly on the screen, combining both the powerful and ruthless demon general with the little junior sister.
It was as if she wasn’t acting, but she really was the little junior sister.
Cooly turning around, her hands in claws.
With a fixed gaze, she stepped forward and grabbed a person by the neck.
The camera captured a close-up of her, her eyes were as cold as her moves, without even a bit of warmth.
She completely separated the little junior sister’s past and present.
The little junior sister was innocent and naive, the demon general was cold and merciless.
The little junior sister loved to smile, the demon general didn’t have any expression.
It was the difference between the past and present, and it was also the difference between life and death.
—— The cute, lively little girl from before was gone.
Sang Wan Ci folded her arms in front of her chest as she watched silently as Lu Zhi Wei showed off her acting skills.
Until Guo Hui shouted to cut.
Lu Zhi Wei’s expression relaxed and her eyes became warmer. She gently patted the camera, as if she was patting a dog, then turned to get ready for the next scene.
How cute. Sang Wan Ci thought.
At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated.
[Teacher]: You’ve changed your diet?
[Teacher]: It’s good, this time your father finally believes that you’re not at the stage where you can only eat instant noodles
Sang Wan Ci smiled.
[Sang Wan Ci]: With her around, I’ve been eating well lately.
She had been eating well, but as a celebrity, she knew her limits and she still did the same exercises she did to stay in shape.
[Teacher]: [Photo] [Photo] [Photo]
[Teacher]: Are these really dumplings that you guys wrapped? It looks pretty well done and delicious
Sang Wan Ci looked at Lu Zhi Wei, who was acting seriously and didn’t know she had been praised by her idol.
Then she looked down and her fingers swiped across the screen.
[Sang Wan Ci]: Next time, if there’s an opportunity, I can get her to cook for you.
[Teacher]: That would be troubling her
[Sang Wan Ci]: No trouble.
[Sang Wan Ci]: To be able to make dumplings for Aunty, she would definitely be very happy.
Very, very happy.
……
《Phoenix》 finally started broadcasting.
On the day that the first episode aired, the ratings shot past 1% and continued climbing.
On the third day after the first episode aired, Lu Zhi Wei also received a piece of good news.
“You’re chosen!” Wen Yao’s voice was extremely agitated.
Lu Zhi Wei paused, asking incredulously: “What did you say?”
Wen Yao was overjoyed: “I said, your audition went through, Director Liu Zhao said he wants you for the female lead!”
Lu Zhi Wei stood there, staring into the distance.
After a long while, she finally digested the news, happiness slowly creeping onto her face.
Her lips couldn’t help but twist upwards, her smile growing more and more radiant.
The moment Sang Wan Ci walked out of the washroom, Lu Zhi Wei hurtled into her arms.
“I was chosen, Wan Ci, I was really chosen!”
The little transparent entity could finally be a main lead!!!
22-28 minutes23.04.2023Lu Zhi Wei felt like this was a lethal question unlike any other.If she answered wrongly, she would be fine, but Ying Xi Ze might not be.So she answered decisively: Of course not!How can that be, I just purely treat him as a little brother. He also purely treats me as an older sister, we're definitely innocent. Really, don't misunderstand!She didn't understand why she put so much effort into explaining with Sang Wan Ci either.But her desire to survive told her that she had to do it, or Sang Wan Ci would mind very much.But her desire to survive didn't tell her why Sang Wan Ci would mind, as if Lu Zhi Wei was thinking too much.Could it be that she had misunderstood?Sang Wan Ci wasn't asking about romantic liking, but between a fan and an idol?Then all the more she had to explain.Sang Wan Ci cared the most about whether she climbed the wall or not!Sang Wan Ci raised an eyebrow: Really?Lu Zhi Wei quickly put three fingers up in a salute: Really!No matter how many fan identities she had before, she absolutely only had two now, no more!The dangerous aura from Sang Wan Ci's body dissipated in a moment, returning to that calm-looking Sang Wan Ci.The swiftness of the emergency feeling left Lu Zhi Wei feeling like she had mistaken it. Could it really be that I had misunderstood the situation?Sang Wan Ci easily believed what Lu Zhi Wei said.In reality, she knew clearly that even if Lu Zhi Wei really liked Ying Xi Ze, she couldn't do anything either.She couldn't be as shameless as Qiu Luo, she couldn't pester the person she liked if they already said they liked someone else.She could only selfishly hope that Lu Zhi Wei didn't like men, that she didn't like anybody else.After hearing Lu Zhi Wei explain, she sighed in relief.As long as she didn't like him, it was goodLu Zhi Wei was suddenly curious.Why would her fan suddenly say she liked Ying Xi Ze?How could this one and only fan start rumours about her own idol!Wan Ci, bring the phone over for me to see.Sang Wan Ci saw Lu Zhi Wei couldn't hold the phone, so she raised it up and adjusted the angle considerately.Lu Zhi Wei looked at it.Sang Wan Ci's gaze gently brushed over the side of her face, then she explained: Your phone screen wasn't locked, I didn't mean to look intentionally.Lu Zhi Wei nodded as she read the chat: Mm, it's fine, you can look whenever you want.She didn't mind.Since the moment she awkwardly exposed her identity as a Meng Lian Yu fan in front of Sang Wan Ci, there was nothing else in her phone that Sang Wan Ci couldn't see.Lu Zhi Wei: Whatever, my heart's already numb.JPGQiao Qiao's conjecture was shown on the screen.Because Lu Zhi Wei had knitted a birthday gift for Ying Xi Ze, and they were the only two people in the production crew who interacted on Weibo.So Qiao Qiao had analysed it like she was solving a maths problem, because then followed by therefore to come up with an outrageous conclusion.Lu Zhi Wei: What kind of nonsense ability to connect was thisJust because they interacted on Weibo and because of a hat?As someone who liked Lu Zhi Wei, Sang Wan Ci also felt that Qiao Qiao's conjecture was too casual.Love can't be seen only from the surface, it had to be seen from the inside.Although she didn't interact with Lu Zhi Wei on Weibo, but they had already had their first kiss together, so they were ahead of everybody else!But, since this Qiao Qiao felt like there had to be interaction on Weibo Then she would post one tonight.And post another one tomorrow, and another the following dayWith the people involved personally showing that their relationship was good, the fans wouldn't be able to come up with other ideas!Anyway, as long as there was anything to be done with Lu Zhi Wei, she would do it all, she couldn't lose to anyone.If she lost, she wouldn't have ajiejieanymore.Lu Zhi Wei raised her hand, using the back to rub her face, accidentally smearing some flour on.She was about to take the phone, then stopped when she realised she was kneading the dough and her hands were covered in flour.She could only trouble Sang Wan Ci: Wan Ci, could you please help me reply.Just say I only treat Xiao Ying as a younger brother, it's not that complicated, don't think too much.A rumour that started from one person would end up being spread by thousands.She didn't want this rumour to leak out and harm both her and the innocent Ying Xi Ze.Okay.Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . comSang Wan Ci immediately went to work for love.Lu Zhi Wei: It's a misunderstanding.Lu Zhi Wei: I only treat him as a younger brother, so our relationship is slightly better, please don't think too much.That's right, slightly better.Not as good as her and Lu Zhi Wei.Nobody would be as good as her and Lu Zhi Wei.She originally wanted to ask Lu Zhi Wei if she could send it like that.Turning her head, she saw the flour on Lu Zhi Wei's face.But Lu Zhi Wei didn't seem to notice it at all, kneading the dough seriously.Her lowered eyes, the serious expression and her pale skin.Everything was oozing cuteness.Why was it that she was so cute now no matter what she did?With this thought in mind, Sang Wan Ci raised her hand to wipe away the flour on Lu Zhi Wei's face.The sudden skin contact made Lu Zhi Wei pause.Sang Wan Ci explained: You've got flour there.Then Lu Zhi Wei relaxed: Is that so, it probably got smudged on just now.Sang Wan Ci chuckled: Mm, probably.After returning to her senses from how cute Lu Zhi Wei was, she recalled she wanted to let Lu Zhi Wei read the reply.Lu Zhi Wei looked at it.It was formal and stern, very much like how Sang Wan Ci spoke over the phone.Looking at it, people who didn't know would probably think the entertainment company had taken over her account.Mm, it's fine to send that, let's go with it, I've troubled you.No trouble, Sang Wan Ci treated Lu Zhi Wei's phone as if it was her own, locking the screen and putting it into her pocket, then bit on a biscuit as she said: I'll help you.Lu Zhi Wei didn't agree: There's nothing I need your help with now, just finish your biscuits, you can go sit outside.Sang Wan Ci didn't want to leave, quietly biting into the soda biscuit she was holding.She would be alone if she went out anyway, so why not stay here and cling to Lu Zhi Wei?She wanted to let Lu Zhi Wei fall for her, how could she give up such a good opportunity to spend time together?Have you eaten? Sang Wan Ci asked.I ate a bit when I came back. Lu Zhi Wei answered as she continued kneading the dough.Once she finished speaking, half a soda biscuit appeared at the side of her mouth.Eat it. She heard Sang Wan Ci say.Then her mouth slowly opened involuntarily.Crunch, a small piece was bit off.She held it in her mouth, forgetting to chew as she turned to look at Sang Wan Ci.Just in time to see her pull her hand back and place the biscuit that Lu Zhi Wei had just bitten into her mouth.Lu Zhi Wei reminded her: I bit thatSang Wan Ci replied calmly: It's fine if it's you.Lu Zhi Wei felt like she was being flirted with again.She couldn't help but start to suspect her position in Sang Wan Ci's heart.Could it be, she was slightly more important than others?But it wasn't uncommon for friends to share a biscuit.It looks like she had thought too much again.Their Teacher Sang purely took her as a close friend. Although she didn't know which good friend would keep hugging her from behind.What's wrong? Her hands stopped.Nothing, Sang Wan Ci leaned against her shoulder. I don't want to be by myself, I want to be with you.A single sentence that had a double meaning.If only Lu Zhi Wei could figure out the double meaning.But she clearly didn't.If that's the case, okay, then stay here and chat with me. Being alone with the dough is boring too. When the dough and filling is ready, I'll teach you how to wrap the dumplings, okay?Okay.As long as I'm with you, anything is okay.With Sang Wan Ci around, Lu Zhi Wei was indeed not so bored.The two of them chatted about random things.Sang Wan Ci asked how the audition went.Lu Zhi Wei recalled the process, expressing that it was so smooth that it didn't feel real.Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci gently stroked her hair: Everything will go well, don't worry.Her voice gently brushed against Lu Zhi Wei's ear, and as if by magic, Lu Zhi Wei's heart settled and she really stopped worrying.Hopefully it would be as she said, everything would go well.Sang Wan Ci learnt how to wrap dumplings from Lu Zhi Wei, and when the food was on the table, she specially took nine photos and posted them to Weibo.Caption: Eating dumplings today @Lu Zhi WeiEven though the person she liked was beside her, she didn't forget about having to interact on Weibo.And it was a good time for Lu Zhi Wei to enter the public's gaze, so if she could give her an additional way to get popular, that would be best.She also hoped that the netizens would notice Lu Zhi Wei sooner.This was her treasure, she was pretty, cute and excellent.Come like her, she won't let you down.

But when she smiled, she was still that most innocent person.I hope so too. She smiled.It couldn't always be a bad ending when they worked together, or Lu Zhi Wei would be wondering what kind of secret hint is the universe giving them.The scene was set.Guo Hui let the actors take their spots.Lu Zhi Wei waved at Sang Wan Ci, then ran to her spot and waited.When Guo Hui called for it to start, all the actors got into character.These few scenes were just quick flashbacks in the drama.It was mostly to show the brutality of the demon prince. Under his command, the demon generals were slaughtering the masses.Sang Wan Ci stared at Lu Zhi Wei.Once Guo Hui called action, her expression had immediately changed.Cold and merciless, there wasn't the slightest hint of warmth or gentleness. She was a killing machine.Lu Zhi Wei had been taking lessons from one of the martial arts teachers in the production crew and the effect was good. She was moving elegantly and smoothly on the screen, combining both the powerful and ruthless demon general with the little junior sister.It was as if she wasn't acting, but she really was the little junior sister.Cooly turning around, her hands in claws.With a fixed gaze, she stepped forward and grabbed a person by the neck.The camera captured a close-up of her, her eyes were as cold as her moves, without even a bit of warmth.She completely separated the little junior sister's past and present.The little junior sister was innocent and naive, the demon general was cold and merciless.The little junior sister loved to smile, the demon general didn't have any expression.It was the difference between the past and present, and it was also the difference between life and death. The cute, lively little girl from before was gone.Sang Wan Ci folded her arms in front of her chest as she watched silently as Lu Zhi Wei showed off her acting skills.Until Guo Hui shouted to cut.Lu Zhi Wei's expression relaxed and her eyes became warmer. She gently patted the camera, as if she was patting a dog, then turned to get ready for the next scene.How cute. Sang Wan Ci thought.At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated.Teacher: You've changed your diet?Teacher: It's good, this time your father finally believes that you're not at the stage where you can only eat instant noodlesSang Wan Ci smiled.Sang Wan Ci: With her around, I've been eating well lately.She had been eating well, but as a celebrity, she knew her limits and she still did the same exercises she did to stay in shape.Teacher: Photo Photo PhotoTeacher: Are these really dumplings that you guys wrapped? It looks pretty well done and deliciousSang Wan Ci looked at Lu Zhi Wei, who was acting seriously and didn't know she had been praised by her idol.Then she looked down and her fingers swiped across the screen.Sang Wan Ci: Next time, if there's an opportunity, I can get her to cook for you.Teacher: That would be troubling herSang Wan Ci: No trouble.Sang Wan Ci: To be able to make dumplings for Aunty, she would definitely be very happy.Very, very happy.Phoenix finally started broadcasting.On the day that the first episode aired, the ratings shot past 1% and continued climbing.On the third day after the first episode aired, Lu Zhi Wei also received a piece of good news.You're chosen! Wen Yao's voice was extremely agitated.Lu Zhi Wei paused, asking incredulously: What did you say?Wen Yao was overjoyed: I said, your audition went through, Director Liu Zhao said he wants you for the female lead!Lu Zhi Wei stood there, staring into the distance.After a long while, she finally digested the news, happiness slowly creeping onto her face.Her lips couldn't help but twist upwards, her smile growing more and more radiant.The moment Sang Wan Ci walked out of the washroom, Lu Zhi Wei hurtled into her arms.I was chosen, Wan Ci, I was really chosen!The little transparent entity could finally be a main lead!!!
