“………” Qiao Yu ignored the tiny, barely perceptible guilt in his heart.
/
After quietly finishing the noodles, Jian Ning picked up her bag and hurriedly went downstairs: “Qiao Yu, I’m going to film.”
“Hao ge……”
A reluctant, aggrieved voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Jian Ning stopped, feeling a headache. This alternate personality really was something – not waking up early or late, but precisely when she was about to go to the set? Such precise timing.
Qiao Yu came out of the kitchen, still washing dishes with white soap bubbles on his hands. As soon as he heard this, he rushed out.
“Be good, Qiao Yu.” Jian Ning perfunctorily comforted him, “Hao ge is going to work and will be back this afternoon.”
Qiao Yu blinked: “What time this afternoon?”
Jian Ning: “………Probably around eight or nine in the evening.”
Qiao Yu instantly looked aggrieved: “Can’t you come back earlier?”
“Really can’t.” Jian Ning said helplessly, putting on shoes by the door: “I’m really leaving, or I’ll be late. Be good at home.”
Qiao Yu suddenly rushed over, hugging Jian Ning’s waist from behind, almost causing her to bump into the door, but he quickly stopped.
“Hao ge~~~”
Qiao Yu suddenly acted coquettish.
Jian Ning involuntarily shuddered: “………Speak properly!”
Qiao Yu refused to let go, clinging tightly: “I’ll miss you.”
“………I’m really going to be late.” Jian Ning irritably clicked her tongue, “Qiao Yu, be good, don’t make me angry.”
Qiao Yu was silent for a moment. Just as Jian Ning was about to lose patience and break free, Qiao Yu blurted out: “Then kiss me!”
Jian Ning was petrified.
“What did you say?” She suspected she misheard.
Qiao Yu persistently hugged her, softly coaxing: “Hao ge, just kiss me once, and I’ll let you go!”
Jian Ning: “………”
Jian Ning silently tried to remove his hands.
Qiao Yu gripped her hands tightly, absolutely refusing to let go: “You must kiss me once, then I’ll let you go, otherwise…” Qiao Yu curved his lips, deliberately showing a mischievous smile, leaning close to her ear and ambiguously saying: “I’ll confine you at this doorway and hug you for a lifetime.”
Given the difference in physical strength, Qiao Yu was determined not to let go. Jian Ning tried to break free for half a day without moving a finger, becoming so angry she could barely speak, and after a long while, helplessly said: “Will you keep your word?
Qiao Yu immediately excitedly nodded: “Deal! Absolutely deal! If you kiss me and I still don’t let you go, I’ll go out and fall to my death.”
“……That won’t be necessary.” Jian Ning gritted his teeth and smiled: “If you’re trying to trick me, once I walk out that door, I’ll never come back.”
Qiao Yu became anxious: “Deal, deal! I will definitely keep my word! Brother Hao, you must believe me!”

Jian Ning turned around, staring at Qiao Yu for a long time.
Qiao Yu obediently looked up, his long eyelashes covering his eyelids, with a high nose bridge and pale red thin lips, a very attractive young man.
Such an extraordinary beauty… kissing him wouldn’t be a loss, right?
After all, they had already kissed before.
Jian Ning suddenly remembered that unexpected first kiss, blushed, and instead of kissing his lips as he might have wanted, planted a quick kiss on Qiao Yu’s cheek.
“Okay, kiss done, let go quickly.”
Qiao Yu stood stunned, saying nothing.
Seeming to be savoring the moment, or perhaps stunned by the kiss.
Time was running out, Jian Ning was anxious and had no mind to care about him further, tugging forcefully to ensure he wasn’t holding on tight, then broke free and ran.
Hmm… his hurried footsteps also had a bit of a panicked escape feel.
Qiao Yu took a while to react, touching the wet spot on his face, with indescribable feelings.
The alternate personality was becoming increasingly unstable, waking up at will, and now even learning to request kisses.
He had been washing dishes and thinking about something, and when he next became aware, he was already kissed by Jian Ning. He was stunned for a while before recalling the alternate personality’s memories, understanding it was deliberately requested.
Qiao Yu suddenly felt a suppressed breath, inexplicably feeling a subtle discomfort – why would Jian Ning compromise and kiss the alternate personality, not even getting angry, but actually kissing him?
Was it because… compared to him, Jian Ning preferred the alternate personality?
Forget it.
What was there to compare with the alternate personality? It was just an idiot.
Qiao Yu knew without thinking that if he had made this request today, Jian Ning would definitely have slapped him and cursed him as a perverted lunatic.
But for the alternate personality, she was just momentarily helpless and embarrassed before quickly agreeing.
Qiao Yu couldn’t understand what he was thinking, or why he was pondering these meaningless things, but…
Inexplicably, after realizing Jian Ning’s differential treatment, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, with a sour, bitter, and acidic feeling.
“………” His brain was probably being ruined by the alternate personality.
This led to her not knowing that this Jian Ning was not that Jian Ning, and her acting skills had changed dramatically. Although Director Wang was indeed someone who disliked troublesome things, he had a particularly good quality: whenever he encountered a talented actor, he would inevitably feel a sense of intimacy. While he wouldn’t coddle them, he was still protective of his own crew.
Director Wang thought he was cherishing talent.
Therefore, when Jian Ning came over with a furious expression and explained their entanglement, Director Wang instantly exploded: “As a makeup artist, her primary responsibility is to do her job well. How dare she vent her anger on the actors?”
Jian Ning’s face turned ugly, and she said somewhat unable to bear it: “Director Wang, I know delaying the crew’s start was my fault, and I can’t refute that. I admit it. If everyone really dislikes me, just tell me, and I won’t stubbornly stay. But regarding Xiao Liu, there must be an explanation today.”
Jian Ning demanded a change of makeup artist.

Xiao Liu was originally sitting calmly in the makeup room, expecting Director Wang to scold Jian Ning and make her understand that just because she spent two years in a mental hospital, she couldn’t be as arrogant as before.
But when she heard Jian Ning demand a change of makeup artist, and Director Wang remained silent, Xiao Liu suddenly couldn’t sit still.
She quickly ran out: “Director Wang, please don’t listen to Miss Jian’s one-sided story. I’ve had enough of her!”
Xiao Liu’s eyes reddened, looking like she was about to cry: “Two years ago, when Miss Jian first met me, she had a condescending attitude, even accusing me of poor technique and making her look ugly. I thought after so much time, she would have learned to respect people after suffering. But who would have thought…”
“Xiao Liu!” Director Wang suddenly reprimanded: “How are you speaking? What do you mean by ‘suffering’? If you can’t speak properly, shut up.”
Jian Ning raised an eyebrow, arms crossed, coldly watching her ramble.
Xiao Liu’s acting skills were truly wasted as a makeup artist. She should really enter the entertainment industry and win an award, definitely capable of winning the highest Best Actress award.
Seemingly scared by Director Wang’s shout, Xiao Liu turned pale, not daring to speak, but tears suddenly flowed down her face, dropping to the ground, looking utterly aggrieved.
The crew members had lost interest in working, pretending to be busy while constantly watching the situation.
