When I Woke Up, I Had Three Romantic Partners - Chapter 16

The two played games, moving closer and closer. Soon, Chi Jinqing’s head naturally rested on Si Jiamo’s shoulder. She let out a lazy yawn, her hand still on the computer keyboard.

Her consciousness was still that of an eighteen-year-old, so her operations were also like an eighteen-year-old’s—steady and fast. Her long, rounded fingers were not painted with various nail polishes, only showing pink little moons.

While leaning on Si Jiamo’s shoulder and yawning lazily, her sharp movements in the game didn’t stop at all. The game even became more serious.

After one round, Chi Jinqing felt a little thirsty and naturally ordered, ” Jiamo, I want water.”

“Mmm.”

Si Jiamo got up to pour her water, but as soon as she stood up, she was pulled back by the bracelet on her hand. Pulled back, Si Jiamo’s eyes widened. She stumbled, and with a flip, she pinned Chi Jinqing beneath her.

Startled by the sudden tackle, Chi Jinqing shivered: “?”

Si Jiamo also broke out in a cold sweat. Their eyes met, and the moment became awkward.

Si Jiamo quickly got up and straightened her clothes, her face still somewhat unnatural: “That was an accident.”

Chi Jinqing was also shaken; it would be hard to explain if they had kissed: “Mmm.”

She sat on the carpet, slowly tidying her clothes. She was still a little scared by that scene. It was only when Si Jiamo got up that she remembered they were still live-streaming. If something like that happened now, Su Yunhui would probably want to kill her.

Before, Su Yunhui had already used the excuse of firing Qin Song because Qin Song had privately accepted this dating show for her. If she and Si Jiamo kissed, the headline would likely never go away.

She wouldn’t be able to explain things to Su Yunhui.

Now she was under his management again. If he really made things difficult for her…

She had a debt to repay, so she absolutely couldn’t fall out with Su Yunhui.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes.

She somewhat understood her twenty-six-year-old self’s predicament.

Bang!

As she stopped operating, the enemy took the opportunity to attack the high ground, and the crystal exploded. They lost this game again.

Game over.

Chi Jinqing closed her laptop, no longer wanting to play. Her mood was also a bit low.

Si Jiamo noticed and asked in a low voice, “Do you still want water?”

Chi Jinqing: “No, I don’t want it anymore.”

“I want to go upstairs and sleep for a bit.”

Si Jiamo: “Then let’s go together. I also feel like lying down.”

It was a little past three in the afternoon. The others wouldn’t be back until five, at which point they could eat dinner and look at tomorrow’s schedule.

“Mmm.”

The two went upstairs. It was inconvenient to live-stream while sleeping; what if they mumbled something they shouldn’t in their sleep?

So, the live stream was closed after they went upstairs.

People outside the screen were all: “??”

It ended just like that?

No way?

Their screen time for the day was pitifully scarce. The only two sweet points were Chi Jinqing’s injury, Si Jiamo being anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof, carrying her down the mountain frantically, and the recent tackle.

They were here to watch them interact, not to watch a black screen!

Pigsy: I can watch them sleep!

Fei Fei: Don’t even think about it. What are you going to watch?

Invincibility is so lonely: Today’s time is passing exceptionally slow.

Meanwhile, Luo Wanshuang, who also drew the mountain climbing task, was excited to buy two candied hawthorns when she saw them being sold down the mountain. Then, she discovered she was allergic. The brittle coating of these candied hawthorns was made of honey.

Others were made of white sugar.

She forgot to ask.

She was allergic to honey!

“Hoo…”

Luo Wanshuang scratched her neck, which had turned completely red. Feng Yan noticed something was wrong and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Honey…”

Luo Wanshuang was so itchy her entire face was red. Her allergy to honey was severe.

She had to go to the hospital immediately.

The production team quickly arranged a car to take Luo Wanshuang and Feng Yan to the hospital. This sudden incident caught everyone off guard.

No one expected this to happen.

Feng Yan quickly threw away the candied hawthorns and hugged Luo Wanshuang, whose eyes were red, comforting her in a low voice: “Don’t scratch, you’ll scar your face.”

Luo Wanshuang’s face was painfully swollen like a bun: “But my face is so itchy…”

She really couldn’t bear it.

“Don’t be afraid, we’ll be at the hospital right away.”

“Itchy…”

Luo Wanshuang’s tears were streaming. She no longer cared about her image, burying herself in Feng Yan’s arms, crying uncontrollably. Even after arriving at the hospital, registering, and getting an injection, she refused to come out of Feng Yan’s embrace.

Feng Yan knew what she was afraid of and could only hold her, trying to keep her away from the camera: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Who doesn’t have a few embarrassing moments?”

Luo Wanshuang: “Wuwuwu, Sister, do you think I’m disfigured? Everyone will laugh at me.”

Feng Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly. She was a young girl, still in the phase of loving her appearance. Suddenly appearing like that in front of the camera was hard to accept.

But…

“Just pretend you’re getting an early start on playing an ugly role for a drama. It’s actually quite cute.”

To call Luo Wanshuang, whose face was swollen like a small bun, “cute,” Feng Yan must have put on some rose-tinted glasses.

It wasn’t until Feng Yan asked the production team to buy a dozen masks and sunglasses for Luo Wanshuang to wear that Luo Wanshuang reluctantly raised her head to face the camera.

Luo Wanshuang pouted: “That old man was too honest. I didn’t expect him to use pure honey for the sugar coating. I was careless.”

Feng Yan looked at her amusedly: “That’s what you get for not asking an extra question when you buy things next time.”

When they returned to the homestay after the IV drip, they found that Chi Jinqing and Si Jiamo had already returned much earlier.

Although they went upstairs, they hadn’t actually slept, as they both felt something was amiss.

Looking at the bracelets on their wrists, then at the beds spaced a little apart.

Chi Jinqing & Si Jiamo: “…”

What should they do now?

With the bracelet, there was no way they could sleep in two separate beds.

Si Jiamo’s expression was calm: “Let’s share. It’s not like we haven’t before.”

Chi Jinqing: “…”

Don’t make it sound so ambiguous. They were clearly only in a relationship of covering up with a quilt and purely chatting.

The diary didn’t mention them having a relationship beyond covering up with a quilt, so Chi Jinqing naturally assumed they were still in a pure, innocent relationship of holding hands.

“Is there something you’re unhappy about?”

Si Jiamo glanced at her and prioritized sitting on Chi Jinqing’s bed: “Did you forget what our relationship is?”

Chi Jinqing answered quickly: “Sugar daddy and sugar baby. I understand without you having to say it.”

Si Jiamo was speechless for a moment. Sometimes she was truly impressed by Chi Jinqing’s mouth. No matter the time, she would always say things Si Jiamo completely did not want to hear.

But she was no longer the Si Jiamo who was compliant with Chi Jinqing’s every whim. She nodded haughtily: “Exactly. So you have to listen to me.”

Chi Jinqing rolled her eyes at her, bypassed her, lay down on the bed, and then closed her eyes, pretending she was already asleep.

Si Jiamo: “…”

Chi Jinqing was really going to wear her out.

How could she have fallen for a person like this when she was eighteen?

Was she blind?

No, she was still hung up on this person now. As expected, when people were self-destructive, there was no way out.

After the two spent an hour in awkward silence and repose, they came downstairs and saw Luo Wanshuang wearing a mask and sunglasses. Next to her was Feng Yan, who was forced to sit and read her script.

Chi Jinqing, with a limp: “?”

Luo Wanshuang, with a swollen face: “?”

“Idol, what’s wrong with your foot?”

“Xiao Shuang, why are you wearing a mask indoors?”

“Don’t ask, just come and sit down quickly.”

Si Jiamo poured a glass of warm water and urged Chi Jinqing to sit down and stop talking nonsense.

Feng Yan also suppressed a smile: “You guys came back even earlier than us. That’s really surprising.”

Si Jiamo handed the water to Chi Jinqing. She still remembered Chi Jinqing saying she was thirsty before going upstairs, and explained, “Chi Jinqing accidentally twisted her ankle while climbing the mountain, so we came back.”

Luo Wanshuang quickly looked at Chi Jinqing’s foot, and after confirming there was no serious problem, she said, “Idol, you’re too careless. You must be more careful when climbing mountains in the future.”

Feng Yan rubbed her head and said with a chuckle: “You have the nerve to lecture Jinqing. Didn’t you buy something without asking what sugar the person used? If we weren’t nearby, and the production team didn’t have a car, and you hadn’t brought any medicine, your situation would have been very dangerous, you know?”

When she saw Luo Wanshuang’s face and neck instantly turn red, and her almost difficulty breathing, she was truly terrified.

Luo Wanshuang was still smiling. She held Luo Wanshuang and didn’t dare to let go, afraid that Luo Wanshuang would ruin her career.

Although plastic surgery was normal in this era, as an actress, it was better and more suitable to use one’s original face, and also more convenient.

Luo Wanshuang pouted. She felt her face was much better, and her body wasn’t itchy anymore.

Chi Jinqing was confused: “What happened?”

Feng Yan shrugged: “She was greedy for candied hawthorns and didn’t ask the seller what kind of sugar was used. She’s severely allergic to honey, and the purer the honey, the worse the allergy. That old man was very honest. Later, I asked the production team to check, and he uses pure floral honey produced by himself. She ate two bites of candied hawthorn and immediately went into a bad state.”

Chi Jinqing: “…”

She looked at Luo Wanshuang with pity. They were like fellow sufferers.

Luo Wanshuang lowered her head sheepishly. Through the part not covered by the sunglasses, Chi Jinqing could still see traces of swelling that hadn’t faded much.

It would probably take at least two days for the swelling to completely disappear.

The young girl was at the age where she cared about her looks and probably couldn’t stand her ugly photos getting out.

The four of them had nothing to do together, so they simply decided to be lazy together. Anyway, this was the situation.

Everyone did their own thing. Seizing this opportunity, Luo Wanshuang cried to her manager on the phone, then received a scolding, telling her she couldn’t control her mouth and always thought about eating every time she went out. Now, something happened, didn’t it?

Luo Wanshuang’s tears were about to fall. She regretted saying anything, wuwuwu.

Her manager was so fierce.

And Su Yunhui finally found a chance to send Chi Jinqing a WeChat message.

Su Yunhui: You’re injured again. Why are you so careless? If you keep this up, how will you shoot the following commercials and movies after your variety show ends?

He didn’t take this opportunity to say anything else to Chi Jinqing, just lectured her a few times like a normal manager, and then warned her not to get hurt again, before falling silent.

Looking at the message from Su Yunhui, she was a little confused about his intentions.

Was he really preparing to be a good manager?

Why did she feel a little skeptical?
