Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Ancient-to-Modern Shark People VS Death-Seeking Starlet (Part 9)
Feng Cheng and Gu Shengyin were happily living their sweet little life.
Even though Feng Cheng himself didnât show it, those close to him could notice a trace of difference.
âHey Feng Cheng, could it be that⊠youâre in a relationship?â
Li Zi suspiciously looked at Feng Cheng, who had been holding his drink for ages without taking a sip.
These days, he felt that something was off with Feng Chengâalways declining invitations out for fun. Today, he finally managed to get him out, only to find him still looking dazed.
Although he knew his childhood friendâs taste well, Li Zi had only asked casually.
Unexpectedly, after a moment of hesitation, Feng Cheng nodded his head.
âHoly crap!â Li Zi slapped his thigh and instantly perked up.
âItâs true! Come on, tell usâdoes she look super pretty? I know your standards! When did you two meet? Itâs not cool to date and not tell your friendsâŠâ
Li Zi babbled on and on until he wisely shut up under Feng Chengâs gaze.
âWhen the time is right, Iâll introduce her to you guys,â Feng Cheng said, then decisively downed his drink.
âFor not telling you guys, Iâll punish myself with three glasses.â
Seeing Feng Cheng like this, they all knew he was serious this time and grew increasingly curious about this âlady love.â
But they were well aware of how tight-lipped Feng Cheng wasâif he didnât want to talk, no one could pry his mouth open.
After staying for more than half an hour, Feng Cheng suggested heading home, and everyone, thinking he was now a man with âresponsibilities,â understood and let him leave.
When Feng Cheng returned, Gu Shengyin was inquiring about the situation with the supporting actress Shao Zi.
Bai Gang sold the shell for a million, and he immediately reported the news to Shao Zi. Originally planning to break up, Shao Zi decided to keep stringing along her utterly devoted boyfriend.
And without the âLian Yangâ gift, Shao Zi naturally couldnât offer anything to knock on the directorâs door, failing as expected to get the coveted role.
She remained as she was before, lingering unremarkably in the entertainment circle.
Since Gu Shengyin couldnât go out, she could only monitor Shao Ziâs movements through the system.
Fortunately, Shao Ziâs biggest Golden Finger in the original plot was the âLian Yangâ she gave to the director. Now that Gu Shengyin was here with Feng Cheng, Shao Zi, lacking background, connections, and hardly top-tier looks, had no real chance to shine.
Gu Shengyin had initially planned to wait until she turned eighteen to slowly deal with Shao Zi and the director. But seeing Feng Cheng enter with a pampering look on his face, an idea suddenly struck her.
She still had two years until adulthood.
If she did nothing for two years, too many unexpected changes could occur.
She suspected that the plot would throw up various twists and turns to make Shao Zi famous.
Having witnessed the persistence of the plot, Gu Shengyin was already wary of it.
The only option was to have Feng Cheng take action.
One evening, as they cuddled together watching TV to pass the time, Gu Shengyin suddenly got excited upon seeing a certain advertisement.
Feng Cheng, ever-attentive to Gu Shengyin, immediately noticed her reaction.
He saw on TV, a relatively unknown beverage ad playing, with an unfamiliar young girl as the spokespersonâlikely a little-known celebrity.
What could be wrong?
