Thank you so much for the support Hori!

Gu Nanzhen sat in front of Huo Yu and started talking to her.

Huo Yu wasn’t too happy about Gu Nanzhen’s presence.

What’s Gu Nanzhen butting in for?

“What do you want to tell me? Is it something important?” Huo Yu said, feeling a bit annoyed.

“I’ll tell you a secret. It’s really a huge secret!” Gu Nanzhen said.

“What secret could you possibly have? I’m not interested.” Huo Yu said.

“It’s about Lin Shuwei.” Gu Nanzhen whispered to Huo Yu’s ear.

Huo Yu wanted to say something to Lin Shuwei, but when she turned her head, she saw Lin Shuwei and Lan Xin leaving their seats and going to the side. She didn’t know what they were up to.

“What secret do you want to tell me?” Huo Yu frowned and looked at Lan Xin taking Lin Shuwei away.

“Lan Xin likes Lin Shuwei. She wants to confess to her! She’s fully supporting Lin Shuwei…” Gu Nanzhen whispered to Huo Yu’s ear.

“What did you say?” Huo Yu was taken aback.

“Lan Xin said she wants to confess to Lin Shuwei, and she’s fully supporting her…” Gu Nanzhen firmly held Huo Yu’s arm and said.

“Lin Shuwei won’t accept her confession! It’s impossible!” Huo Yu exclaimed in annoyance.

An immediate sense of crisis surged in her heart.

It’s not just anyone, it’s Lan Xin!

Lan Xin, ah!

Lan Xin is a heavyweight figure in the entertainment industry.

She’s a second-generation wealthy individual with a keen eye and great means. She has gradually elevated the Lan family into the ranks of super-wealthy families.

Lan Xin gives off an impression of confidence and allure. There’s nothing she can’t accomplish.

Huo Yu paid a price to have Lan Xin help Lin Shuwei, even keeping it a secret from her. Lin Shuwei probably thinks it’s all Lan Xin’s doing.

I heard that the new film Lin Shuwei has been shooting these past few months was recommended by Lan Xin.

There’s a good chance that Lin Shuwei also has feelings for Lan Xin!

“Why is it impossible? When has Lan Xin failed to achieve what she wanted to do?” Gu Nanzhen said.

Huo Yu immediately stood up from her seat. She wanted to go and bring back Lin Shuwei. She wanted to confess!

“Hey, what are you going to do?” Huo Yu stood up and walked, but Gu Nanzhen held her back.

“It’s none of your business!” Huo Yu quickly replied, shaking off Gu Nanzhen and walking forward quickly.

Gu Nanzhen also lifted her skirt and followed.

The two turned a corner and saw Lan Xin and Lin Shuwei.

They were at the end of the corridor, and from a distance, Lan Xin was pressing Lin Shuwei against the wall. Their posture looked as if they were kissing!

Huo Yu stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

Are they really kissing?

If they are really kissing, what should she do?!

If there was a system calculating Huo Yu’s happiness at this moment, it would definitely be plummeting rapidly.

“For the next film, what are you planning to act in? Do you have any plans? I have one here that has been planned for a long time, just missing a female lead.” From a distance, Lan Xin leaned against the wall, tilting her head as if she was kissing Lin Shuwei, but she was actually talking.

“Oh? What film?” Lin Shuwei asked.

“It’s a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie, a story of a woman saving the world. Are you interested?” Lan Xin said.

Although Huo Yu was wearing a hat, her hearing was still sharp.

They were talking, and Huo Yu overheard.

“Lan Xin wants to buy Lin Shuwei with resources?!” Huo Yu was very angry and hurriedly ran over, lifting her skirt as she did.

There were sounds of high heels behind them. Lin Shuwei saw Huo Yu, but Lan Xin couldn’t see behind her and didn’t pay attention.

“Let’s talk later, Xiao Yu is here.” Lin Shuwei said to Lan Xin.

“What about Zhen Zhen?” Lan Xin asked Lin Shuwei.

“Gu Nanzhen didn’t come, she’s standing over there in a daze…” Lin Shuwei said.

Huo Yu approached with big strides, pulling Lan Xin away and standing in front of Lin Shuwei like a protective mother hen.

“Lan Xin, what are you doing?!” Huo Yu exclaimed in anger.

“What am I doing? Can’t you tell?” Lan Xin smiled and replied.

“Don’t mess around. Lin Shuwei is mine!” Huo Yu said with a stern face.

“Kid, don’t speak nonsense. Since when is Lin Shuwei yours?!” Lan Xin retorted.

Huo Yu pursed her lips, her eyes turning red. She turned around and grabbed Lin Shuwei’s hand.

“I have something to say to you!” Huo Yu said, pulling Lin Shuwei and quickly walking away to the side.

Lan Xin didn’t stop them, she just turned around and watched them leave.

Behind Huo Yu was Gu Nanzhen.

She followed Huo Yu, actually wanting to see Huo Yu’s angry expression.

She didn’t expect to witness Lan Xin “kissing” Lin Shuwei.

And competing with Huo Yu for her!

She only wanted Lan Xin to pretend to pursue Lin Shuwei, and then make Huo Yu lose her temper.

She didn’t want her to kiss Lin Shuwei!

It shouldn’t have turned out like this!

Gu Nanzhen stood dumbfounded, watching Huo Yu run over and pull Lin Shuwei away, clearing the path between them. She saw Lan Xin turn around.

Lan Xin didn’t look at her, but instead looked in the direction of Lin Shuwei.

“Lin Shuwei, think about what I said!” Lan Xin raised her voice with a smile.

“Not considering it, no way! Don’t even think about it!” Huo Yu angrily retorted, turning her head and quickly pulling Lin Shuwei away.

Gu Nanzhen walked towards Lan Xin.

Lan Xin was still looking at Lin Shuwei’s figure and didn’t notice Gu Nanzhen.

“Lan Xin, just now, did you kiss Lin Shuwei?” Gu Nanzhen took a breath and asked Lan Xin.

“Yeah. When pursuing someone, there should be a certain approach. I have to say, Lin Shuwei is attractive, capable, and interesting. The feeling of the kiss was really good. I’ve developed an interest in her.” Lan Xin didn’t look at Gu Nanzhen as she spoke, gazing at the end of the corridor. Lin Shuwei and Huo Yu had already turned the corner.

Gu Nanzhen didn’t say anything, she just looked at Lan Xin for a few seconds, then pouted, tears rolling down as she began to cry.

Lan Xin didn’t dare to look at Gu Nanzhen, afraid to see her heartless appearance.

Gu Nanzhen had agreed to be her girlfriend, and they hadn’t broken up yet.

But which girlfriend would let her own girlfriend pursue someone else’s girlfriend?

And even watch the show?

Sigh.

When Gu Nanzhen spoke, Lan Xin truly felt heartbroken and in pain.

At this moment, Lan Xin just wanted to see how Gu Nanzhen would react if she had truly gone too far.

After Lan Xin finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Gu Nanzhen, only to see tears streaming down her face, followed by a downturned mouth as she cried.

Lan Xin couldn’t bear to see Gu Nanzhen cry, her heart softened.

“Nanzhen, don’t cry. Why are you crying?” Lan Xin hurriedly said.

“I, I, I asked you to pretend to pursue her, not to kiss her. I, I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore! We, we’re breaking up!” Gu Nanzhen cried out and immediately turned and ran away! She even kicked off her obstructive high heels!

“Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen!” Lan Xin watched as Gu Nanzhen ran barefoot, feeling both distressed and anxious. She only wanted to see Gu Nanzhen’s reaction, but she didn’t expect things to go off track!

Lan Xin quickly chased after her.

On the other side, Huo Yu pulled Lin Shuwei into a changing room and closed the door.

“Did you really kiss Lan Xin just now?” Huo Yu asked Lin Shuwei, still pouting and angry.

“No. She just came to talk to me, asked for a favor, and borrowed my spot. Xiao Yu, what did you mean just now?” Lin Shuwei looked at Huo Yu, her expression slowly changing.

Lin Shuwei mentioned what Huo Yu had said earlier, and Huo Yu’s face instantly flushed.

She had blurted out those words after seeing Lan Xin’s appearance.

Now, with Lin Shuwei looking at her with such serious eyes, she felt embarrassed and wanted to hide.

She was confused about her feelings for Lin Shuwei, whether she truly liked her or not.

For so long, it seemed like it was this damn system forcing her, and it was also Lin Shuwei’s thoughts pressuring her.

Lan Xin’s actions made the only thing she was certain about clear: she didn’t want Lin Shuwei to get close to Lan Xin, not at all!

“Do you know there are many pairs of eyes here? If you act like that with her, borrow spots, it’ll be spread online with a hundred different stories! Are you also trying to create a CP with her?!” Huo Yu replied with a stern face, deflecting from the question, appearing angry and fierce.

“Xiao Yu, are you unhappy that I’m getting too close to her? I won’t do it anymore.” Lin Shuwei looked at Huo Yu’s flushed face, finding her cute, and spoke softly. She reached out, wanting to touch her head, but when her hand touched Huo Yu’s hat, Huo Yu thought of the cat ears on her own head and quickly grabbed Lin Shuwei’s hand.

Their hands held together, and they could feel each other’s warmth.

Huo Yu wanted to pull her hand away, but Lin Shuwei held on.

“Xiao Yu, you said you had something to tell me just now. What did you want to say?” Lin Shuwei lowered her voice, afraid to break the moment.

Huo Yu looked into Lin Shuwei’s eyes for a while.

“I, I want to correct the answer to the question you asked earlier. You’re different from Gu Nanzhen. I absolutely wouldn’t want to kiss Gu Nanzhen. I wouldn’t get angry even if Gu Nanzhen gets close to someone else…” Huo Yu took a deep breath and looked at Lin Shuwei as she finished speaking, feeling her heart pounding.

“What about me? Do you like me?” Lin Shuwei asked.

“Well, sort of… reluctantly. I don’t like it when others touch you, hug you, or kiss you, but, well, I can reluctantly accept it…” Huo Yu spoke in a low voice, stuttering a bit, her face blushing, and her pouting mouth puffed up.

Is this love?

What is this?

Huo Yu was conflicted.

Lin Shuwei found Huo Yu so adorable that her heart trembled, and she hugged her tightly, looking at her.

“Xiao Yu, are you being sincere?” Lin Shuwei asked.

Huo Yu felt embarrassed and awkward. Lin Shuwei kept asking, and she didn’t want to answer her, so she simply kissed her.

As Huo Yu kissed Lin Shuwei, a feeling of happiness blossomed in her heart, making it swell.

Huo Yu had actually confessed to her, and she liked her!

Lin Shuwei hugged Huo Yu back and returned the kiss.

“Ding! Lin Shuwei heard the host’s confession, Happiness Points +3000.”

“Ding! Lin Shuwei was kissed by the host, Happiness Points +2000.”

“Ding! Lin Shuwei kissed the host, Happiness Points +2000.”

In just a few seconds of kissing, Lin Shuwei’s Happiness Points soared.

This kiss made Lin Shuwei feel even more wonderful than the last time.

Huo Yu’s lips were softer, more tender, and sweeter.

Huo Yu felt Lin Shuwei’s warmth, exceptionally intense. Lin Shuwei’s unique scent made Huo Yu’s taste buds explode with flavor.

Huo Yu wrapped her arms around Lin Shuwei’s neck, becoming as soft as water.

Even though it was winter, and they were wearing formal dresses with only a thin coat on top, holding each other like this allowed them to sense each other’s presence.

The air seemed to be quietly warming up.

A fragrant and sweet aroma filled the air.

They kissed for a while until Huo Yu’s phone vibrated, and Lin Shuwei’s phone also started vibrating, prompting them to stop.

The phones continued to vibrate as the two leaned their heads together, catching their breath.

“It looks like we need to go out.” Huo Yu said.

“Xiao Yu, I’m really happy. Let’s go back quickly, okay?” Lin Shuwei lightly kissed Huo Yu’s nose and whispered.

“Mm.” Huo Yu responded with a sound.

Lin Shuwei lifted Huo Yu’s chin and looked at her. Huo Yu’s eyes were red, as if she had been bullied, with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

The lipstick on their lips had been smudged away by Lin Shuwei, but it looked even more vibrant than before.

“Xiao Yu, are you unhappy?” Lin Shuwei asked softly.

“Don’t agree to Lan Xin’s request. Whatever you want, I’ll find a way to give it to you.” Huo Yu said, her voice still slightly breathless.

“I won’t.” Lin Shuwei hugged Huo Yu and reassured her.

“Let’s go.” Huo Yu turned her face away and said.

“Wait, let me tidy up.” Lin Shuwei said. She really wanted to pinch Huo Yu’s face and tousle her hair, but Huo Yu was holding her hand, so she had to temporarily give up.

Their makeup and hair were a bit messy. Luckily, there was a mirror in the changing room. They touched up their makeup and tidied themselves up before leaving together.

There was an award ceremony after the event.

Due to her movie, Lin Shuwei was nominated for Best Newcomer and had prepared her acceptance speech.

Huo Yu and Lin Shuwei were arranged to be together. When Lin Shuwei’s award was announced, the spotlight and cameras focused on the two of them.

Lin Shuwei stood up, hugged Huo Yu, and went to receive the award.

“Lastly, I want to thank my friend, Huo Yu, for her support, which has given me the strength to come this far. I will continue to work hard in the future!” Lin Shuwei delivered her prepared speech and added a line before bowing and leaving.

The camera cleverly zoomed in on Huo Yu.

Huo Yu looked somewhat surprised, her face slightly blushing.

It was all magnified by the camera.

The event was being live-streamed, and there were many comments popping up.

“Huo Yu is such a beautiful celebrity!”

“Indeed, good-looking friends always have good-looking friends!”

“Don’t you guys have any common sense? This is our beloved Huo Huo and Wei Wei!”

“This acceptance speech feels like it’s been sweetened. Is this a public confession by Wei Wei?”

“Wow, Huo Huo’s lip color looks so good. I need to know the shade of that lipstick.”

“Wei Wei and Huo Huo are undoubtedly true love. That gaze, that shyness, just perfect!”

The fans of the WeiHuo CP got excited, and the topic suddenly skyrocketed in popularity.

After Lin Shuwei received the award, there were still some procedures to follow, so they couldn’t leave immediately.

Lin Shuwei secretly held Huo Yu’s hand, but Huo Yu didn’t look at her.

The two endured until the end of the event, skipping the rest of the proceedings, and left directly by car.

Huo Yu drove, while Lin Shuwei kept looking at Huo Yu from the side.

Huo Yu really wanted to blindfold Lin Shuwei’s eyes.

Once they returned to the Cat Apartment, they couldn’t wait to embrace each other and kiss.

In their private space, undisturbed by anyone, this kiss was lingering and prolonged. Huo Yu was so dazed that she didn’t even realize how much Lin Shuwei’s happiness points had increased. All she heard was the continuous sound of “ding ding” adding up. She was sure that her happiness points would reach ten thousand tonight. Can she please get rid of this damn earpiece?!

After a while, Huo Yu was awakened by several different sounds.

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to undress the host, happiness points -1000.”

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to touch the host’s private area, happiness points -1000.”

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to engage in sexual activity with the host, happiness points -2000.”

Huo Yu was dumbfounded. What the hell?!
