Jian Qinzhi casually remarked a couple of sentences, causing the two sisters to flush with embarrassment as they silently watched him eat. After finishing his meal, Jian Qinzhi drank three cups of water before saying, "From now on, let's be more economical. Although salt isn't expensive, we shouldn't waste it. Now, what is it?"
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly nudged her younger sister, giving her a look that urged her to speak up.
"Um, do you have time to join me on a variety show?" Jian Shu asked. "I mentioned before that I promised the collaborators many non-binding agreements. They want me to invite someone of higher status as a guest to boost the show's appeal."
Jian Qinzhi's thoughts shifted sharply: "They want Nie Yi?"
Yun Zhi Yue nodded. "Yes, but I don't want to. They didn't specify names, so as long as Jian Shu goes, they won't dare to refuse even if they're unhappy."
Her mind was quick, but why should I go? Haven't you always been independent and self-reliant? Don't you want to rely on me?
Yun Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly. "Jian Shu, Yun Zhi Yue didn't mean it that way. In the past..."
"I didn't ask you," Yun Zhi Yue interjected lightly, immediately silencing herself at the four words that hung in the air.
With her eyelashes lowered and her gaze not meeting Jian Qinzhi's, she gripped the edge of the table tightly until her fingers turned white. Gathering her courage, she finally looked up. "I was wrong; I shouldn't have underestimated myself by leaving the Jian Family and bringing so much trouble upon myself."
That variety show is sponsored by the Han family, and I have conflicts with Han Ling; I can't afford to breach the contract. Jian Shu, you are my and my sister's only elder; I'm seeking your help. Can you assist me?
Yun Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tightly held her sister's hand under the table.
Yun Zhi Yue was resolute; being able to say such words meant she had truly been pushed to her limits. That damned Nie Yi!
Her tone remained emotionless: "What type of variety show is it?"
That means you've agreed!
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with joy. "Yun Zhi Yue, Jian Shu is asking you a question about the type of show; you haven't answered yet!"
Yun Zhi Yue avoided answering.
She ran over to Jian Qinzhi's side and excitedly grasped his arm. "Jian Shu, did you agree?"
Jian Qinzhi looked at her small hand on his wrist and raised his gaze meaningfully. "Don't change the subject; first tell me what type it is."
With some hesitation, Yun Zhi Yue lowered her head. "It's... it's Lian Zong."
"Lian Zong! My goodness! Are you going to play a couple with Jian Shu? How can that be?" Yun Xiaoxiao exclaimed with wide eyes.
Yun Zhi Yue quickly clarified, "It's not like that; all guests start off without forming teams. I'm just inviting Jian Shu to join."
There were many others, and winning in the game allowed them to prioritize choosing teammates, which made things less awkward.
Phew, Jian Shu wins at everything. Yun Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief.
I need to arrange things for when we start recording.
Yun Zhi Yue's snow-like features broke into a radiant smile, momentarily colliding with Jian Qinzhi's clear gaze.
Jian Shu, you’re really something! I managed to pull through this time without being overwhelmed, and I’m so happy about it.
[Your strategy is impressive; you’re so serious about acting that even those of us who know the truth can’t see any flaws. You’re amazing, Yun Zhi Yue.]
[Shut your stone mouth! Who says I’m acting? Once I enter the Puppet Body, I’m in character; life is like a play—what’s real and what’s fake?]
Meeting Jian Qinzhi's always calm eyes, Yun Zhi Yue smiled even brighter, her small hand firmly gripping his arm.
