The Cold and Distant Actress is Too Obsessive - Chapter 21

As the show progressed, everyone had developed some ambiguous relationships with others.

So, the atmosphere was filled with a pink, romantic vibe. After resting upstairs for a while, Xu Youyan slowly made her way downstairs. By then, it was already dark, and the warm yellow neon lights below were twinkling, creating a beautiful scene.

“Why did you come down? Is your waist not hurting?”

Bo Zhoucheng was sharp-eyed. Looking up, she spotted her Yan Yan and immediately abandoned the guest she had been chatting with.

Her tone was gentle, like a spring breeze brushing past peach blossoms, carrying a hint of cool fragrance that made one’s heart flutter.

“I can’t just take the money and not do the work, right?”

Xu Youyan was, after all, a guest on the show. Hiding lazily upstairs during filming wouldn’t be appropriate.

And besides,

Her calves were sore and weak, covered in fingerprints from that person yesterday.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyan couldn’t help but feel like biting Bo Zhoucheng to death. She slowly shuffled over and found a chair to sit in.

Bo Zhoucheng immediately sat down beside her.

“After the show ends, shall I give you a massage?”

Bo Zhoucheng showed none of her usual coldness toward Xu Youyan, speaking softly and gently, making others envious.

“You know how to massage?”

Xu Youyan was somewhat surprised. She had thought this icy-faced beauty was aloof and would never bother with such things.

“Of course.”

Bo Zhoucheng looked puzzled.

“I learned it for you, Yan Yan. Don’t you remember?”

Xu Youyan hadn’t expected to shoot herself in the foot with that question, so she quickly nodded.

“Oh, I see.”

She leaned in and whispered into Bo Zhoucheng’s ear as if no one else was around.

“Then you’d better massage me properly, and no funny business allowed.”

The first time, Xu Youyan had been completely clueless and had let Bo Zhoucheng take the lead. But now that she had some experience, a devilish thought arose in her mind.

What would it feel like to pin down her rival?

Just the thought made Xu Youyan feel relaxed and invigorated, giving her the motivation to continue filming.

After the show, there was a small gathering. Everyone ordered takeout, and the crew joined in as well.

“Filming and playing games can be stressful. Now that we’re not being recorded, why don’t we play something more fun?”

One of the male guests suggested. He was somewhat established in the industry and had joined this dating show mainly to build chemistry with his partner.

“Sure!”

Bo Zhoucheng was about to politely decline and take Xu Youyan upstairs when the competitive Xu Youyan pointed at the guy across from her.

“Whoever loses has to quack like a duck.”

Xu Youyan wasn’t yet the mature thirty-year-old version of herself and still had a playful side.

“I can quack if I lose, but… Senior Xu, can you handle it?”

The guy had a likable personality, and the two had gotten along well during the show.

“Of course.”

Xu Youyan had already had a drink or two and wasn’t about to back down.

But as luck would have it, she lost in the first round. The guy glanced at Bo Zhoucheng and Xu Youyan, deciding to give the esteemed actress a generous gift.

He pointed at Bo Zhoucheng.

“Since you two seem so close on the show, how about a kiss?”

Xu Youyan shook her head.

“That’s too much. My fans would get angry.”

Wow, she really sticks to her morals as a celebrity. The guy just laughed.

“Senior Xu, does that mean you can’t handle it?”

“The loser has to drink three cups as a penalty.”

Everyone present was watching with great excitement, except for Mo Tian, whose face was pale as he stood up.

“I’ll drink these three cups for Youyan.”

Just as he picked up the cup, before he could down it in one go, Xu Youyan moved even faster, reaching out and cupping Bo Zhoucheng’s cheeks.

She kissed her directly. Xu Youyan was wearing a light orange shade of makeup today, her lips shimmering with a glossy finish under the light, making them especially enticing.

The taste of the lipstick and lip gloss was faint, carrying only a subtle fragrance. The lip makeup smudged slightly, mingling with the scent of alcohol.

Xu Youyan wasn’t aggressive at all; even her kisses were slow and gentle, like a cat’s.

Bo Zhoucheng felt as though her heart had been seized by a large hand.

It had been so long…

It had been so long since Yan Yan had treated her like this.

Time ticked by, and only after two full minutes had passed, with the table now silent, did Xu Youyan finally let go.

She pulled out a tissue, wiped the corner of her mouth, and shrugged nonchalantly.

“Let’s continue!”

By the end of the game, Xu Youyan got exactly what she wanted, she heard the male guest quack like a duck but she herself was completely drunk.

“Can you still walk?”

Bo Zhoucheng hadn’t had a single drop of alcohol today, but her mouth still carried a faint taste of wine.

“I can.”

Xu Youyan was stubbornly clinging to her pride, but as soon as she spoke, she took a step up the stairs and immediately felt a sharp pain in her waist.

“Ah.”

“I pulled my waist.”

It wasn’t that it hurt all that much, but there was a dull ache in her lower back. The human body isn’t like clay holding one position for too long inevitably leads to stiffness.

Xu Youyan was the delicate princess type; when it came to filming action scenes, she mostly used a stunt double. No wonder she couldn’t handle this kind of discomfort.

“Forget it.”

Bo Zhoucheng sighed, tightened her arm, and lifted her up.

Xu Youyan naturally wrapped her arms around Bo Zhoucheng’s shoulders, delighted that she didn’t have to walk anymore.

“Thank you.”

“Will you drink this much again next time?”

Bo Zhoucheng looked down, suddenly thinking that it might be better for Xu Youyan to be a bit more cheerful. It was certainly better than the way she had been before silent and withdrawn, which had been unsettling.

But Bo Zhoucheng had no idea.

It was when she was silent and withdrawn that she was truly frightening.

“Of course I’ll drink, Now that the company can’t control me anymore, Bo Zhoucheng, do you know how hard it is to be an adult?”

“Why do I have to film with those men.”

“I want to film with beautiful women!”

Xu Youyan grabbed Bo Zhoucheng’s arms and shook them vigorously.

Who would have thought that the innocent and pure Xu Youyan, adored by her fans, was actually a girl with a bit of a wild side in private?

Hearing her say this, Bo Zhoucheng could only try to soothe her more gently.

“But aren’t you about to film with me soon? Aren’t you happy about that?”

Bo Zhoucheng wasn’t a narcissistic person, but she had some confidence in her looks—otherwise, she wouldn’t have become an actress.

She could fulfill all of Yan Yan’s requests.

“You?”

Xu Youyan looked at the person in front of her with drunken, bleary eyes and pouted.

“But you’re so strict.”

“Back when we were filming together, you scolded me. And you were so harsh on the couch too I told you I didn’t want to.”

Xu Youyan was just babbling drunken nonsense. Afraid that she might say something inappropriate that could be picked up by the microphone, Bo Zhoucheng quickly covered her mouth.

The next moment, a slight pain came from her wrist. Bo Zhoucheng looked down to see Xu Youyan, like a little kitten, biting her hand.

“Don’t you dare cover my mouth, Bo Zhoucheng. Who do you think you are.”

“Just because you won an award!”

Though Xu Youyan said this, her tone was tinged with jealousy.

“Be good, I’ll let you touch the trophy when we get back.”

Bo Zhoucheng coaxed patiently.
