I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 8

Shi Xingrao slapped Lu Ze on the back of his head with all her might.

Lu Ze, holding an ice-cold watermelon, never expected someone to dare attack him from behind. Caught off guard, he was shoved face-first into the watermelon by Shi Xingrao.

The cold watermelon juice splattered everywhere. Lu Ze ended up with a huge chunk of watermelon in his mouth, the juice choking his throat and nasal passages, leaving him gasping for air.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, and even the live chat fell silent.

Gu Yi was the first to react. She turned and saw Shi Xingrao, her pupils trembling violently as if experiencing a magnitude-9 earthquake. It seemed Shi Xingrao’s behavior in the private room that day had left her with lingering fear.

[Emm. Who said this girl was trying to cozy up to Lu Ze? Is this what cozying up looks like?]

[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. This girl is fierce. I need all her info within ten minutes.]

[Found it, found it! Her name is Shi Xingrao, a little-known actress in the entertainment industry. She’s been active for three years but has only appeared in some low-budget web dramas.]

[With such a stunning face, you’re telling me she’s been around for three years?]

[What should I do? I feel like she’s not some privileged star, and I even suspect she’s being suppressed.]

Lu Ze: “Damn, who the hell did that?”

Shi Xingrao laughed gleefully, but when Lu Ze looked at her, she recited her lines in a fake, sweet tone: “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I just mistook you for someone else. You’re so magnanimous, surely you won’t hold it against me, right?”

[??? A rookie green tea?]

[Shi Xingrao: So sorry, so sorry, still not great at being a green tea.]

[LOL, what a gem Shi Xingrao is! First time seeing someone act so obviously fake. Sis, at least tone down the mocking before you try to be sweet.]

[Gu Yi, is your shocked expression for real? I feel like they know each other.]

[It’s honestly so infuriating. If you forgive her, you can tell she’s mocking you. If you don’t forgive her, she’s already ‘apologized’ so ‘sincerely.’]

Seeing Shi Xingrao’s face again and having just gone through that ordeal, Lu Ze pointed at her, his hand trembling with rage.

He had joined this show to make Lin Shuangran realize he wasn’t hung up on her, only to run into Shi Xingrao again. If he’d known, he would’ve checked the almanac before leaving home.

Shi Xingrao: “Brother, why is your hand shaking? Are you developing Parkinson’s at such a young age? It must be so hard for you, half in the grave already, still coming on a show to make money. You’re so pitiful.”

[Pfft I’m actually going to die laughing.]

[Hahahahaha, sis is so good at this. Give us more of that green tea energy.]

Lu Ze scoffed as if he’d heard a joke. “Me, making money? Do you even know how much my company is worth?”

Shi Xingrao pondered for a moment. “So if you’re not here for money, are you here for an affair? I remember you’re supposed to get engaged soon, right?”

“Do you only like sneaking around?”

[Holy crap, is she allowed to say that? That’s way too bold.]

[Honestly, I’ve been wanting to say this for a while. Lu Ze is such a scumbag. He already announced his engagement date with his white moonlight, yet he’s on a show flirting with someone else.]

[Exactly. And Gu Yi isn’t any better. She knows he’s engaged but still clings to him.]

[Stop the baseless hate, okay? Our Yiyi is pure-hearted. How could she be some homewrecker?]

【It was clearly that so-called Second Miss Lin who insisted on breaking them up.】

Lu Ze and Gu Yi’s faces both darkened like charcoal. Gu Yi had originally intended to flaunt their relationship to gain some popularity. Even if Lu Ze didn’t end up marrying her, she could still capitalize on their CP fans, turning them into her own solo fans by playing the victim after Lu Ze’s eventual marriage.

But now, Shi Xingrao’s actions felt like picking up her abacus and smashing it to pieces.

“Why is Sister targeting Yi Yi? Yi Yi hasn’t done anything to offend you.”

Shi Xingrao smiled politely, “Sorry, you’re 26, and I’m only 22. I’m younger than you, so please don’t call me ‘Sister’ when you’re this old. It makes me a bit uncomfortable.”

Gu Yi’s fingernails dug into her palms. She absolutely loathed Shi Xingrao’s sharp tongue. How dare she talk like that? Was she out of her mind?

Shi Xingrao’s entrance instantly skyrocketed the show’s viewership. The director, who had initially been dissatisfied with Shi Xingrao joining the variety show as a last-minute addition, was now grinning from ear to ear.

Honestly, she even wanted Shi Xingrao to become a permanent cast member.

“Welcome, all guests, to our show. As everyone knows, our rules require playing games to select today’s rooms.”

“Today’s game is the one Lu Corporation is about to release.”

“Aside from today’s celebrity guests, we’ve also invited four non-celebrity participants to join this game.”

Lu Ze’s reasons for appearing on the show were twofold: aside from wanting to make Lin Shuangran jealous, he also aimed to promote his company’s game.

“Here are the closed beta accounts prepared by President Lu for everyone.”

In this world, MOBA games weren’t yet popular. Although this game differed slightly from the ones in Shi Xingrao’s world, the basics were similar. Shi Xingrao wasn’t the least bit worried.

【Ahhh, I’m so mad! Why aren’t I there in person?】

【I’ve been begging for a closed beta key for this game forever and still haven’t gotten one.】

【But still, isn’t Lu Ze going all out? It’s his company’s game, and he’s pretty skilled at gaming. Sister Rao’s team probably doesn’t stand a chance against Lu Ze’s team, right?】

Reading the comments, Cat Ears felt a bit anxious too. After all, it seemed like Lu Ze really had the upper hand.

Finally back in his element, Lu Ze raised an eyebrow arrogantly. “Shi Xingrao, since you’re so good at talking, today I’ll make sure you have nothing to say.”

Shi Xingrao looked at Lu Ze as if he were an idiot. “You think this is your turf? Just wait until I, your mom, beat you so badly you call me ‘Mom’.”

After her bold declaration, Shi Xingrao put on her headphones. The usually quiet, aloof princess now looked every bit the esports girl.

【Wow, the way Rao curses is so badass. I’m starting to think Lu Ze really is an idiot.】

【Rao, curse at me!!!】

【What’s Shi Xingrao being so arrogant about? She doesn’t know how to play but acts like she does. She’s just trying to get Lu Ze’s attention.】

【No matter how much she struts around, President Lu won’t give her a second glance. He’ll only focus on teaching our Yi Yi. Only someone as cute and kind-hearted as our Yi Yi deserves love. Just wait for President Lu to crush her and make her lose face!】
