Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Thinking of You Every Minute and Every Second
Lu Sheng and the others didn’t watch the live broadcast at that ti.
So they didn’t know that ever since Lu Sheng had said in front of the cara that the servant admitted Shi Yuwei had purposely ordered her to spill the porridge…
This reversal completely changed the direction of opinion in the live broadcast room.
With the two of them appearing together on cara, the more Shi Yuwei dressed elegantly and chic, the more it made Lu Sheng, in her sleepwear with no makeup and covered in porridge, seem pitiful.
Just monts ago, Shi Yuwei’s image in the eyes of the netizens was that of the pure and perfect wealthy heiress. In the next instant, she turned into a scheming woman who calculates against others and sars them to prop herself up.
The most important part—
When Shi Yuwei told the journalists to end the live broadcast, it turned out the broadcast wasn’t cut off, and she showed her true colors on the spot. Her expressions and tone inside and outside the cara were completely different.
Her attitude was not just arrogant; she openly targeted Lu Sheng. She even threatened the production team to make a choice, saying that it’s either her or Lu Sheng, but never both. She was downright fierce.
This must be the real face of the Shi family’s eldest daughter behind closed doors.
Without the live broadcast, it was clear at a glance who was being bullied and targeted between her and Lu Sheng.
At this point, so people who were initially skeptical of Lu Sheng and thought she was deliberately slandering Shi Yuwei now unequivocally stood on Lu Sheng’s side.
So, just as the netizens felt indignant and believed Shi Yuwei was a conniving woman, Lan Yu and the others suddenly burst in.
When Lan Yu splashed that glass of water, it felt as if she had splashed it directly onto the hearts of the netizens.
It was absolutely cool.
And later when Lu Youye embraced Lu Sheng and unleashed his unrestrained support, it made the girls scream crazily.
Who wouldn’t want a brother like this—overprotective, tall, handso, and not willing to let his little sister suffer even the tiniest grievance? And not just one, but two of them!
Too cool, too enviable.
In the room, the group scrolled through the comnts on Weibo and found that most of them were condemning Shi Yuwei, which reassured them.
Lan Yu rolled her eyes and said, “Serves Shi Yuwei right to be criticized.”
“I initially thought, since both she and Shengsheng scored full marks, she might be a capable, kind academic overachiever and could beco good friends and sisters with Shengsheng. Turns out, she’s just terrible.”
At the ntion of the word “academic overachiever,” Lu Sheng thought of Qingmang TV’s new variety show.
Before coming to Beijing, she, Lu Youming, Lan Yu, and Han Jing had all received invitations from the production team.
But at the ti, the team said over the phone that the show’s content and process were temporarily confidential. After confirming participation, everything would be disclosed once everyone gathered.
No script, no preparation allowed. All they knew was that it invited the top thirty scorers of this year’s college entrance exam nationwide—academic elites and intellectual prodigies—together. It was said to test participants’ IQ, mory, teamwork, and other skills.
Initially, Lu Sheng and the others were quite intrigued by the mysterious variety show, but upon learning that it would be broadcast live, all four of them declined.
But now…
Recalling the words Lan Yu had said earlier to back her up, Lu Sheng said, “I wasn’t just casually saying it on cara. I really plan to join that show.”
Lu Sheng glanced at her Fourth Brother, “If I go, my Fourth Brother will definitely go with . But Lan Yu, you and Han Jing, if you don’t really want to join, don’t feel pressured to go just to accompany .”
As soon as Lu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yu imdiately responded, “I’m in, Shengsheng. I already had an interest in the show, but since you didn’t want to go, I didn’t go either. Now that you want to join, it’s perfect. As for Han Jing…”
“Sa here,” Han Jing answered quickly. “I’ve got nothing better to do this sumr anyway. Let’s join together.”
Of course, Han Jing was going for Lan Yu’s sake.
Since everything was settled, Lu Sheng said, “I rember the production team ntioned the gathering ti is in two days. They’ll probably contact us shortly.”
Sure enough, not long after, the production team called.
They confird once again whether the four of them were joining the show, then sent the ti and place for the gathering to each participant.
–
At noon.
Lin Fangling was being kept from food, Shi Chengyun sulked and didn’t co down, Shi Yuwei claid she wasn’t feeling well, and Shi Suxin stord out in anger earlier that morning.
Lunch at the Shi family house was free from annoying people and scheming, making it a relatively pleasant al.
Lu Sheng shared with Lu Youye about how Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya had taken care of her, so Lu Youye begrudgingly apologized to the two elders during lunch.
In the afternoon, after Lu Sheng finished giving Old Mr. Shi his acupuncture treatnt and watched the servant prepare the dicine, the group headed off to the Lan Family estate.
Lan Yu’s family was based in Beijing, and the Lan Family was a notable family here.
However, Lan Yu’s father did business overseas, her sister was studying abroad, and her mother was busy with work and hadn’t been ho for the past few days. Thus, the spacious villa had no adults around, and the atmosphere was naturally relaxed.
The five of them spent the entire afternoon playing Texas Hold’em poker, and in the end, Lu Youye was the only one losing, gambling almost everything away.
Lan Yu enthusiastically offered to let them stay the night, so Lu Sheng called Shi Erya to let her know she’d be staying at the Lan Family’s house tonight.
Lan Yu arranged for Lu Sheng to stay in the guest room next to hers, while the three boys were assigned separate rooms.
Soon, the night descended.
After taking a shower, Lu Sheng put on the cute pink pajamas Lan Yu had prepared for her and lay down on the bed.
The quietness of the room at night was almost eerie, with only the rustling wind outside the window. It gave off a faint sense of loneliness.
Lu Sheng had no idea that at this sa ti, back at the Shi Family, the servant who spilled the porridge earlier was nervously entering Shi Yuwei’s room, facing the girl’s grim gaze.
She simply stared at her phone, her eyes lingering on the single pinned contact in her WeChat list, lost in her thoughts.
No unread ssages.
Though she knew her lover was busy with work—and it was she who had told him not to stay in Beijing to accompany her and instead return to focus on his company—
Seeing that Li Muchen hadn’t ssaged her at all today still left Lu Sheng feeling a pang of lancholy.
She sent him a text saying, [I’m going to sleep now], but after waiting for a while, there was no response.
What was once disappointnt soon turned into irritation.
Frustrated, she set her phone to silent mode, flipped it over onto the bedside table, and closed her eyes to sleep.
She fell asleep, still fuming.
Yet, she didn’t know how much ti had passed.
In her drowsiness, she felt sothing cool and soft touch the spot on her collarbone where the porridge had burned her earlier in the day.
A gentle kiss—an act of heartfelt care. A tender caress that was both intoxicating and slightly painful. Irresistible, tempting her to lean closer.
A tingling sensation spread through her body, familiar yet enrapturing. Before her mind could fully wake, a faint moan escaped her lips.
“Mmm…”
“I’m sorry, baby. I got here late.”
The man’s voice was deep. He moved his lips from her collarbone to her ear and then gently kissed her forehead in restrained affection.
Strong arms wrapped around her completely, dispelling all the fatigue he had felt since arriving back in Beijing. Everything lted away.
He only felt his heart fill up as if it couldn’t contain how much love it held for her.
There was nothing more important than holding his lover and staying by her side.
“Everything in Jiang City has been taken care of. From now on, I’ll only focus on the new company in Beijing. I’ll stay in Beijing with you.”
“Don’t push away anymore…”
He hugged her tighter, burying his face in her neck. “Every minute we’re apart, I miss you. I don’t want to leave you again.”
