The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 20.1

Chapter 20.1

The door to Private Room 1 was opened. Ran Mingyue was already standing, and the curtain had been quickly and securely drawn.

Ran Mingyue guessed it might be a themed room for couples to rest in, but she didn’t know anything else.

“We’re here!” Wen Yingzhi shouted at the door. She came in and saw Ran Mingyue, and said in surprise, “Why are you standing up to greet us? What a big gesture.”

Ran Mingyue: “…Not really.”

She hadn’t had time to tell Li Guang that it was actually okay even if the production team saw them together.

What kind of star am I? As long as she talked to Wang Rou and made sure they weren’t live-streaming, there would be no need to worry about the aftermath.

But Li Guang seemed to be very worried about the impact.

What, am I so unpresentable?

“Xiao Ran, are you eating so much by yourself?” Wang Rou had a cameraman behind her. The camera captured the bowls and dishes on the table.

There were six of them, and they were not small, and they were empty.

There were two bowls in front of Ran Mingyue.

“I get hungry easily recently.”

Wen Yingzhi gave a half-smile, looking at the empty bowls and dishes in front of Ran Mingyue. She knew what was going on.

She knew Ran Mingyue’s appetite.

She was just on a date, wasn’t she?

Who with?

Her eyes scanned the room.

“Let’s clear this away and order some new dishes,” Wen Yingzhi said. “You’re eating so much late at night. Aren’t you afraid of indigestion?”

“Not a lot,” Ran Mingyue said. “Better than you.”

“What’s better than me?”

“The grapes that Wen Jueer was fed at the bar all night were more than what I ate.” Ran Mingyue sat down on the side and ordered a pot of tea to help with digestion.

The theme of the behind-the-scenes footage for the production team was about old friends bantering with each other.

Ran Mingyue and Wen Yingzhi’s styles were completely different. Leaving their professional abilities aside.

Ran Mingyue was usually low-key, and her private life was clean and mysterious. You couldn’t even get a rumor about her.

Wen Yingzhi, on the other hand, was different. She was in the Kunqu circle, but her heart was wandering outside. Her gossip news had never stopped. Recently, the rumors with Hua Yuzhi had the highest heat.

Wang Rou let out a scoff, holding back her laughter.

“How impressive. How could I eat so many people’s grapes? Look at what you’re saying,” Wen Yingzhi said with a smile, accepting the challenge. But her eyes were saying, Are you sabotaging me?

Ran Mingyue’s eyes were also saying, If you know what’s good for you, finish the behind-the-scenes part and leave quickly.

She couldn’t let Li Guang stay inside for too long.

While drinking her tea, Ran Mingyue’s eyes were secretly looking toward the curtain.

Why is there no sound at all?

Only Li Guang inside knew that this room was not soundproof at all.

Because she could not only see the situation outside from the edges, but she could also hear all the sounds clearly.

Wen Yingzhi and Wang Rou came in. Wen Yingzhi asked about the bowls and dishes! Wen Yingzhi and Ran Mingyue were chatting.

So Li Guang didn’t even dare to breathe.

What was even worse was that the cameraman was standing right by the curtain, filming. And Wen Yingzhi and Sister Wang were sitting right where she was sitting before…

My heart is going to stop any minute now.

She was pressed against the door. Next to her was a doll with a big chest and long legs. On the floor was a row of ropes with girlish bows tied on them, and a short rabbit tail. In front of the rabbit tail was a crystal-clear sphere.

Li Guang was still wondering what it was. She bent down slightly to look, and her face turned bright red when she saw the instructions.

—How in the world do you put that in? How?

Li Guang didn’t dare to breathe or take a big step. Her body was stiff, afraid of being exposed.

The dishes that were added later came one after another.

When the waiter saw that there were two more people in the private room, his gaze toward Ran Mingyue became meaningful.

Ran Mingyue: “…”

“You’re drinking so much tea. Aren’t you afraid of having to go to the bathroom later?” Wen Yingzhi said again.

Ran Mingyue said, “I can hold it.”

“You two…” Wang Rou couldn’t help but laugh again. “Why didn’t I hear you arguing like this during the last episode?”

“Sister Wang, look at our Teacher Ran. Isn’t she down-to-earth enough?” Wen Yingzhi said while also saying to the camera, “She’ll also talk about poop and pee with me. Sorry, if this part can’t be used, please cut it out for me. My apologies, editor.”

Wang Rou laughed out loud: “I’m eating!”

Just after Wen Yingzhi said this, a slight sound came from the curtain.

A “thud” sound, as if something had fallen.

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to where the sound came from.

Ran Mingyue, who was leisurely drinking tea, suddenly gripped her teacup tightly. She was about to lose her composure.

“What was that sound?” Wang Rou was very confused.

“Maybe there’s a cat outside.” Wen Yingzhi stood up and walked to the curtain.

When her hand held the curtain, ready to pull it all the way open, Li Guang’s heart was in her throat.

No!

Even though she knew it was a one-way mirror wall, Li Guang was screaming in her heart. She even closed her eyes when Wen Yingzhi “whooshed” the curtain open.

“Plop.” Ran Mingyue dropped a small green orange into the hot tea, attracting their attention. “If you want to take a walk, you don’t have to do it in the room.”

Wen Yingzhi: “? Nonsense! Give me a sip!”

From the gap in the curtain, Li Guang’s eyes met Ran Mingyue’s. She took a deep breath. Thank goodness for Ran Mingyue.

She had just knocked over the doll.

Li Guang just wanted to pull up the two pieces of cloth on its chest that were about to fall off.

I really didn’t want to touch it.

Wen Yingzhi returned to her seat. Wang Rou didn’t care and said, “It’s a good thing you came to this private room. Not just anyone can get in. Otherwise, I would be afraid that one of your obsessive fans might be hiding and waiting for you.”

Li Guang was confused: Isn’t this just a regular private room?

But looking at the sex toys next to her, Li Guang held her forehead.

Right. Who would suddenly get it on during dinner?

“If someone is hiding in there, then we’ll call the security guards,” Wen Yingzhi said as if by chance. “I think the security guards on our show are good. They’re all tall and strong. They can be used as professional bodyguards, especially number 06.”

“Yeah, especially our little Li Guang,” Wang Rou said. “Did you see today’s hot topic? The official account of Douyin released a security guard transformation challenge. A blogger started it, and it has a lot of momentum.”

Wang Rou got excited when she talked about this. “Our production team’s feng shui is really good. In the behind-the-scenes footage that was just uploaded, Li Guang really looks good. Even with just a small part of her face showing, she brought a lot of popularity, which just happened to overlap with the security guard transformation challenge.”

Wen Yingzhi said to Ran Mingyue, “That girl is indeed good. She’s very cool, and wearing a mask makes people curious about who she is. It’s a shame for an ordinary person to get so much popularity and not debut.”

“Yes, but I think if it was Little Li, the effect wouldn’t be bad either. Don’t you think she actually has a celebrity look? I just don’t know why she became a security guard,” Wang Rou said. “She didn’t show her face in the behind-the-scenes footage, which took away a lot of the fighting for screen time. Plus today’s viral challenge, a lot of people are saying they’ll be waiting to watch Li Guang.”

“I think, with just a little packaging, she can get a lot of resources. Why hasn’t any company signed her?”

After listening to Wang Rou’s analysis, Ran Mingyue said, “She can do whatever she wants.”

“You say that so effortlessly. You obviously don’t pay attention to her,” Wang Rou said, shaking her head. “…Let’s talk about the show’s arrangements first.”

“Talk faster,” Ran Mingyue said, looking at the time on her phone. “It’s too late.”

Wen Yingzhi smelled something unusual: “It’s only nine o’clock. What’s late? What are you rushing for? Do you have a date?”

“A cat got into my house,” Ran Mingyue’s meaning was unclear. She smiled and said, “I’m rushing back to feed the cat.”

“You won the last round, so you get the privilege of choosing,” Wang Rou said. “The format of the first episode was a new attempt for our production team. After seeing the controversy, we made some adjustments.”

“The original mode of the NPCs chasing all the guests and the puzzle-solving mode has been adjusted to a two-team system. One team hunts, and the other team flees. There are props and tasks. At the same time, there are NPC assistants. The difficulty might increase or decrease. It depends on how you play the game. But everyone’s screen time will be more detailed. Even when you go back to the observation room, there will be a camera.”

“So, will you choose the escape team or the hunt team? After you choose, you can choose one teammate. The other one will be chosen on the show.”

“Escape, I’ll choose the escape team,” Wen Yingzhi said with a graceful hand gesture. “Please choose me as your teammate.”

“Escape?” Ran Mingyue laughed. How could she be on the escape team?

“I’ll be on the hunt team.” Ran Mingyue liked to take the initiative and wasn’t used to hiding.

Wang Rou: “Choose your person.”

Wen Yingzhi looked at Ran Mingyue with anticipation. She was waiting for Ran Mingyue to choose her. She was already in front of Ran Mingyue. How could Ran Mingyue not choose her?

“I’ll choose Hua Yuzhi.” Ran Mingyue didn’t hesitate at all. She laughed and said, “Our personal security guards are still the same as last time, right?”
