The Cold and Distant Actress is Too Obsessive - Chapter 13

Xu Youyan had originally planned to just visit and leave, but she ended up being persuaded to stay. Bo Zhoucheng’s hotel was not far from Hengdian.

“Why are you keeping me here? I have work tomorrow.”

As dusk fell, Bo Zhoucheng finally wrapped up her day’s work. Her assistant and the crew were helping her change out of her heavy costume.

“Is that not allowed?”

Bo Zhoucheng’s voice was gentle, a stark contrast to her usual cold and distant demeanor on set. Su Cha was already accustomed to the special treatment Bo Zhoucheng reserved for Xu Youyan.

However, the crew members nearby were still a bit surprised but didn’t dare to ask further.

Faced with such a tender tone, Xu Youyan felt a little embarrassed and began to stammer.

“We’ll be filming the show again in a few days. There’ll be plenty of time to spend together.”

Xu Youyan thought of that dreaded dating show, which had practically glued them to the same bed.

“Yanyan, time is more precious than gold. I just want to be with you every moment.”

Bo Zhoucheng’s words were so sweet they could make one’s teeth ache. Xu Youyan shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin, as she watched Bo Zhoucheng change out of her costume and into a black jacket.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“There are outsiders here. Don’t say things like that.”

Xu Youyan took her hand and led her out. She had never been in a relationship in her life, and now, after traveling ten years into the future, she suddenly found herself with a long-term girlfriend. She had no idea how to handle it.

All she could do was respond to everything with awkward inexperience.

After taking a few steps, Bo Zhoucheng noticed that Xu Youyan’s ears had turned red. She couldn’t help but chuckle softly and tightened her grip on Xu Youyan’s fingers.

Her fingers slipped between Xu Youyan’s, whose hands were incredibly soft and smooth, like fine mutton-fat jade.

Bo Zhoucheng couldn’t resist playing with them.

“Your ears are red.”

Bo Zhoucheng teased. Xu Youyan stopped in her tracks and stared straight at her.

Her red lips parted slightly as she uttered two words.

“Shut up.”

Her slightly annoyed expression was clearly one of shyness.

Bo Zhoucheng decided not to tease her further. She put on her mask and pulled another black one from her pocket, handing it to Xu Youyan.

“Why do we need to wear this? Can’t we just take the car back to the hotel?”

Xu Youyan didn’t quite understand but still unwrapped the mask and put it on.

Most masks tended to be a bit too big for Xu Youyan because of her small face, but this one fit her perfectly.

It was clear just how well Bo Zhoucheng knew her almost as if she knew every measurement of her body. It was truly,

Xu Youyan was momentarily speechless.

“We’re not going straight to the hotel. Didn’t you say you wanted ice cream? There’s a place nearby. Let’s buy some before heading back.”

Bo Zhoucheng smiled. Even with the mask on, her warm, bright eyes were captivating, impossible to look away from.

“But I can’t eat too much.”

Though Xu Youyan had a sweet tooth, she was still worried about gaining weight.

“It’s fine. Just take one bite, and I’ll finish the rest. That’s how we’ve always done it. Don’t you remember?”

Bo Zhoucheng suppressed her doubts, reminding herself not to question it this was Yanyan.

“Is that so?”

“Then I want strawberry flavor.”

Xu Youyan suddenly leaned in closer. This was just like her, she loved to act spoiled. If someone did something she liked, she couldn’t help but grow affectionate.

As soon as Bo Zhoucheng finished speaking, Xu Youyan wrapped her arms around her waist. With her mask still on, she nuzzled against Bo Zhoucheng’s neck.

“Thank you, Bo Zhoucheng. You’re the best!”

Nothing is more delightful than having a bite of ice cream after dark, and even though the person in front of her was her rival, Xu Youyan happily forgave them.

The strands of that person’s hair gently brushed against her neck, sending a ticklish sensation straight to her heart.

“Alright, let’s not fool around like this on the street.”

Bo Zhoucheng sounded a little helpless.

When Xu Youyan acted spoiled, she was just like always loving to hug people and nuzzle their necks.

Like a clever, endearing cat.

The van drove through the bustling streets and stopped outside an ice cream shop. The line was quite long at the moment, but Bo Zhoucheng had already asked her assistant to make a reservation.

Now, all they had to do was pick up the order. The small ice cream was brought into the car by Su Cha.

“Want a taste?”

The van drove smoothly, and those inside couldn’t feel any bumps.

Bo Zhoucheng unwrapped the packaging and gently scooped up a strawberry with the spoon. The preserved strawberry wasn’t as tart as a fresh one it was sweet and delicate, the flavor spreading across her lips and teeth.

Xu Youyan’s eyes narrowed with delight.

But she only dared to take a small taste and didn’t eat more. Bo Zhoucheng finished the rest.

However, that woman seemed to have no sense of taste her expression remained the same no matter what she ate.

“Bo Zhoucheng, aren’t you afraid of gaining weight?”

Xu Youyan eyed the ice cream up and down, certain it must be packed with calories, given that ice cream’s main ingredients were high in calories.

“I work out.”

Bo Zhoucheng wasn’t afraid of gaining weight. She exercised every day and would even lose or gain weight based on the director’s requirements for her role. Although it took a toll on her body, as an actress, she had to sacrifice something to achieve the best performance.

Although Xu Youyan also exercised, she wasn’t as diligent and hardworking as the other, so she lowered her head in shame.

The van drove all the way back to the hotel, and the two returned to their room under the cover of their assistants.

As expected, there was only one large bed in the room. Xu Youyan considered whether she should sleep on the floor but felt that doing so would be too obvious.

What couple in the throes of passion would sleep separately?

Meanwhile, Bo Zhoucheng was rummaging through her suitcase for something. Xu Youyan hadn’t paid attention when she entered, but halfway through her shower, the bathroom door was knocked.

“Yanyan?”

Through the frosted glass, Bo Zhoucheng’s voice sounded muffled.

“What do you want?”

Xu Youyan turned off the shower, her face full of vigilance as she stared at the door. Was this woman thinking of suggesting they shower together?

Xu Youyan felt troubled that was something she would absolutely refuse, even if it killed her.

“Your pajamas.”

Bo Zhoucheng replied softly, then pushed the door open slightly. A pair of slender hands reached in, placed the pajamas to the side, and withdrew almost without a second glance.

“I brought a bathrobe when I came in.”

Bo Zhoucheng closed the door, a hint of laughter hidden in her eyes, her tone carrying a touch of anticipation.

“You were the one who insisted on buying this outfit. Now that it’s arrived, why aren’t you wearing it?”

Xu Youyan hastily dried herself off and unfolded the pajamas. The lace was quite pretty, but,

But it was way too sheer.

Who would want to wear something like this!

Xu Youyan tossed the clothes aside and decisively put on her bathrobe before stepping out.

Bo Zhoucheng noticed the other’s ears were flushed bright red and asked knowingly.

“Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Xu Youyan sidestepped her but didn’t hold back with her words.

“I’ll wear it if you wear it. Otherwise, it’s not fair.”

Bo Zhoucheng seemed to ponder this, then shook out the clothes she was holding in her arms.

“This is what you bought for me.”

“Ours are different.”

Xu Youyan looked at the other person’s outfit a light blue shirt, hardly what one would call sleepwear. It was clearly the limited edition “domineering CEO” skin.

Since when did I develop a taste for this?

Xu Youyan wished she could strangle her future self from ten years later.
