A Top-Tier Green Tea Actress Enters a Dating Reality Show - Chapter 33

“Please arrange it as soon as possible. I am available anytime to go and record the show,” Meng Ziqing said softly.

“My time is not an issue.”

As Meng Ziqing spoke, she took off her shoes, preparing to pack her luggage early. She walked into the house, unable to suppress a slight smile, her pure black, luminous eyes filled with anticipation.

After a month, the dating show was finally resuming filming. She could participate in the show’s recording with Qin Yue.

Through living together day and night, she would certainly be able to gain Qin Yue’s forgiveness.

And then continue hugging, snuggling, kissing, and sleeping with Qin Yue!

Thinking of this, Meng Ziqing licked her crimson lips, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Because they were in a cold war, she hadn’t been able to snuggle with Qin Yue for a long time.

And they hadn’t seen each other for a long time—a full three days.

She missed Qin Yue so much.

“Oh, really.” The staff member on the other end didn’t expect her to agree so readily. After a moment of hesitation, they tentatively asked, “Ms. Meng, could you come to the recording villa in the suburbs tonight?”

Meng Ziqing’s hand, which was opening the closet door, paused. Her voice rose slightly, surprised by the show’s incredibly high efficiency, “That fast?”

Subconsciously, she raised her eyes to scan the clothes in the closet, thinking about which ones to take.

She thought entering the group three days later would be the fastest, but she hadn’t expected the variety show crew to be even more action-oriented than her.

“Have you contacted the others?” Meng Ziqing thought of Qin Yue and asked.

“Yes…” The staff member on the phone sounded a little embarrassed, “Before calling you, Ms. Meng, we had already contacted the other guests. They are all free tonight and for the upcoming holiday. Since Ms. Meng is also free, why don’t we have the guests enter the group tonight?”

“That way, since it’s Saturday, the traffic will be high, and a sudden live broadcast tonight can be a surprise for the audience, announcing the official return of ‘Ninety Days of Love’.”

The staff member continued, “Moreover, isn’t there a short holiday coming up? Our show’s director also wants to take advantage of this break to let the guests go out and have some fun.”

“Mm-hmm…” Meng Ziqing nodded, her hands quickly swapping out the clothes, “Going traveling, right?”

“Yes…”

The staff member sighed, “After all, a perfectly good variety show was suddenly ruined by a mentally ill person and delayed for a month. The director wants to go out, relax, and also drive away the bad luck.”

“So, Ms. Meng, can you come over tonight?” the staff member asked tentatively, “If you can come tonight, then we’ll finalize it, and I’ll go ahead and notify the other guests.”

“Yes, I’ll be there tonight,” Meng Ziqing said softly, in a good mood, “Thank you for your hard work, logistics sister. See you tonight.”

Her gentle and elegant female voice carried a hint of anticipation, creating a slight tingle through the phone’s static. Her voice lifted at the end, like a small hook, making one’s heart flutter.

“Good… good…”

After hanging up, the staff member rubbed her ear, her face slightly flushed.

“Hiss—she truly is the publicly recognized Green Tea Temptress. She’s so alluring even without flirting.”

The staff member muttered softly, “No wonder President Qin, such a cold person, couldn’t resist.”

“Hey, hey, what are you muttering about, sister?” The staff member next to her nudged her arm and asked, “How is it? Can Fairy Meng come over tonight?”

“If she can, let’s call the other guests.”

“Yes, Fairy Meng can come tonight. Let’s call the other guests. You call the male guests, and I’ll call the female guests.”

The staff members started to rub their hands together. The eyes of these working professionals were also filled with anticipation.

Out of a job for a month, the dating show was finally resuming. They finally had food to eat again!

The entire morning, after making a phone call to take leave, Meng Ziqing plunged into the cloakroom. She put together more than ten outfits, suitable for various occasions, with different accessories for each. Every detail had to be perfectly managed.

Around noon, she put two suitcases in the trunk of her car. Instead of going to her own company first, she drove to Qin Yue’s RY company.

At the front desk of RY company.

“Hello, I’d like to ask if your Executive Officer Qin has returned from her business trip,” Meng Ziqing asked the receptionist softly, a polite smile on her lips, but a hint of obscurity flashing in her eyes. She silently tapped the counter with her fingers.

Qin Yue hadn’t replied to her message for two days and one night, so she had to ask the front desk first.

Otherwise, if she went straight in and found that Qin Yue hadn’t returned…

She would be even more embarrassed.

Isn’t this the boss’s girlfriend? She usually just walks right in to find the boss. Why is she asking me this time?

Meng Ziqing’s eyelid twitched at the receptionist’s inner voice.

The receptionist blinked, thought for a moment, and answered honestly, “Hello, Ms. Meng, the Executive Officer has not returned yet…”

“Do you need me to register you so that the Executive Officer will know you came to visit when she returns?” the receptionist politely asked.

“No, thank you. I don’t have anything important; I just wanted to see if she was back,” Meng Ziqing thanked her courteously and turned to leave, because she had a premonition that if she walked away, she would very likely hear…

She asked and then just left. Could they have broken up? They broke up so quickly—

Sure enough, women are fickle.

Tsk.

The receptionist’s devilish guessing inner voice came from two steps behind her.

Meng Ziqing stumbled a little on her small high heel. After steadying herself, she turned back with a hint of resentment, “Executive Officer Qin and I are good friends; I simply came to check on her.”

The receptionist, whose inner voice was heard:

Oh my goodness, does this person read minds?!

Meng Ziqing smiled at the receptionist, then turned and left without looking back.

The Head of Public Security, who had been hiding behind the greenery, leisurely walked out, looking satisfied from having stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.

“Wow, interesting.”

She first handed the receptionist a piece of candy to calm her nerves, then picked up her phone and recorded a video of Meng Ziqing’s retreating figure. She clicked the send button on the WeChat interface.

“I told you, boss, look, Fairy Meng came to find you,” she said with a smile.

In the video, the young woman had long since recovered her usual elegance and ethereal quality, walking at the same unhurried pace as always, yet her back view somehow conveyed a sense of loneliness.

Like a discarded kitten.

Qin Yue had just left the airport when she saw the video sent by the Head of Public Security. Her ocean-blue eyes deepened, and her long, pale fingers unconsciously stroked Meng Ziqing’s back on the phone screen.

She frowned tightly. After all this time, she thought she had adjusted, but she still hadn’t.

She still felt soft-hearted toward Meng Ziqing’s pitiful appearance and felt distressed.

“I still fell for it,” Qin Yue covered her forehead, a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

She had fallen this deeply, but Meng Ziqing had only just begun to fall.

It was unfair…

She had to make Meng Ziqing love her, love her more than she loved her, or at least the same amount.

Then she would ask the young woman to be her girlfriend.

Qin Yue, who had been single for twenty-eight years and believed she should be the ‘1’ in the relationship, thought childishly, a slight smile gracing the corner of her lips.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Meng Ziqing, who had finally finished dealing with company matters, arrived with her suitcase at the place where she had first opened her eyes when she transmigrated into the book.

After a month, her mood was different.

Initially, she was furious with the male lead, Gu Yang, and vowed to cheat on him early. On the surface, she was calm, but inside, she was constantly tense.

Now, her emotions were still tense, but this time, it was because of Qin Yue.

This time, she came for Qin Yue.

The dating show was resuming, and the two of them would also start anew and move forward.

Meng Ziqing took two deep breaths in front of the door, raised her hand, grasped the doorknob, and firmly pushed it down. A warm, yellow halo of light surged out, draping Meng Ziqing in a luminous veil.

Inside the house, all the guests had arrived. Su An’an, Zhang Ke, Wen Siliang, Zhou Feng, and Jian Weilin—these faces she hadn’t seen in a long time—were all there. They were interacting with the live stream audience on the sofa, talking about some recent events in their lives.

In addition to them, Qin Yue was also present.

The moment Meng Ziqing opened the door, she seemed to sense it, and her cold eyes turned to meet Meng Ziqing’s gaze for a second.

Meng Ziqing smiled silently and softly said, “Jiejie”

Qin Yue felt a slight burn from the word ‘Jie-jie.’ She instinctively turned her head away, but the tips of her jade-white ears quietly turned pink.

“Meng Ziqing is here?”

The other guests saw the comments on the bullet screen. They turned their heads and saw Meng Ziqing standing by the door with a smiling gaze, looking completely gentle and soft.

Ahhh, Meng Fairy, Meng Fairy, long time no see!

I’m relieved to see Meng Fairy is safe and sound. I was so scared a while ago.

Look closely at the cold sister! She noticed Meng Fairy came in right away and they made eye contact!

Wuwu, after a month apart, why are they still so shippable.

The live stream exploded a little due to Meng Ziqing’s arrival.

“Sister Qing Qing!” Zhang Ke stood up to greet her, “Long time no see, how have you been recently?”

“Not bad…” Meng Ziqing said with a smile. She first put her luggage aside and naturally sat down next to Qin Yue. She glanced at Qin Yue’s cold face and said helplessly, “It’s just that my sister has been quite busy recently, traveling for business quite often.”

Qin Yue nodded. Her cold eyebrows didn’t change because Meng Ziqing sat next to her, but her fingers twitched imperceptibly.

“She clearly only came back after a two-day business trip,” she argued in her heart.

Meng Ziqing heard her inner voice, but her expression became even more resentful, “My sister left right after the court appearance.”

Pfft ha ha ha, I’m dying of laughter. Meng Fairy’s tone and little look are so full of resentment.

The person upstairs, don’t say she’s resentful! Meng Fairy is just simply missing her sister.

The live stream viewers burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was excellent.

The other guests naturally knew Meng Ziqing was trying to liven up the atmosphere. They smiled and continued their previous conversation, chatting and laughing together. Despite a month apart, there was no awkwardness or distance.

Meng Ziqing chatted with the other guests for a while. During this time, Qin Yue occasionally glanced over at her, always just a fleeting look, making it hard for Meng Ziqing to catch.

Finally, as the live broadcast was about to end, Meng Ziqing couldn’t help but lightly pinch Qin Yue’s hand next to her.

Qin Yue looked over but still didn’t speak to her.

“If she asks me why I didn’t reply to her message or ignore her, would saying I didn’t check my phone sound too dismissive?” Qin Yue thought.

Meng Ziqing chuckled softly. She tapped Qin Yue’s phone, signaling her to look at it.

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment. She opened her phone, and two new WeChat messages popped up the next second.

Meng: Hello, Jiejie, I’m Meng Ziqing, also a guest on the dating show. Please take good care of me in the future.

Meng: Jiejie, snuggles!

Seeing the content of the messages, Qin Yue was taken aback.

Her mind went back two months ago.

In a cluttered, noisy supermarket, she was frowning at the commotion. Suddenly, a doll-like girl entered her sight.

With long, romantic, partially pinned-up curly hair, an elegant and well-fitting dress, pure black and luminous eyes, and a wisp of ethereal quality lingering around her eyebrows, she looked exactly like the beloved doll from her childhood.

Very cute. It made her want to take her home.

Just as she was thinking this, the doll noticed her gaze and, with a shy smile, walked toward her.

Hello, Jiejie, I’m Meng Ziqing, also a guest on the dating show. Please take good care of me in the future.

Jiejie, snuggles.

The doll’s eyes were smiling as she said this to her.

And then… she leaned in and gave her a cheek-to-cheek greeting.

The messages Meng Ziqing sent on WeChat were the words from their beginning.

Qin Yue looked down at Meng Ziqing. Her clothes and makeup were also the same as at their first meeting two months ago.

The dating show was restarting, and the two of them would also start over.

A new hunting game was about to begin.

They were each other’s prey and their own hunter.

This time, the stakes were raised.

In the name of love.

Meeting Qin Yue’s gaze, Meng Ziqing curved her eyes and tilted her head, silently anticipating, “Jiejie, snuggles.”

Meng Ziqing was asking Qin Yue: Jiejie, where is the cheek-to-cheek greeting for our meeting?

Qin Yue felt a jolt. Her thin lips moved, and after nearly half a minute, having understood her intention, she smiled helplessly and leaned closer to Meng Ziqing.

Her soft, thin lips approached Meng Ziqing’s ear, and a puff of hot air spread over it: “You’re so impatient, young woman.”

Her cold breath carried an unnamed ambiguity, “In a moment…”
