NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 165
"Sister, I feel like there are a few songs that would suit you really well..." said Shen Qingqing.
"Oh..." Qin Wei responded halfheartedly.
"Sister, would you prefer more Eastern-style tunes or Western-style?" Shen Qingqing continued.
"I'll have to think about it some more..." said Qin Wei.
"Sister, would you consider singing rap in the future?" Shen Qingqing asked.
"We'll see..." Qin Wei replied evasively.
Shen Qingqing kept talking to Qin Wei just like last time, not stopping beside her.
Live stream comments:
[Lü E's small talk today, I'd like to call it the art of brushing off]
Just then, Qiao Sixiao came out of her room, about to go to the fridge for some water. As she was passing through the living room, she caught sight of Shen Qingqing and looked over at her.
Youyou turned her head and saw Qiao Sixiao. She quickly stood up and waved Qiao Sixiao over, then reached out and pinched Shen Qingqing's waist. Only then did Shen Qingqing turn her head and see Qiao Sixiao.
She stopped smiling and obediently stood up to introduce herself to Qiao Sixiao:
"Hello Teacher Qiao, I'm actress Shen Qingqing. I'm very happy to be working with you. I know you are also very professional when it comes to dance. I hope I can learn from you..."
Qiao Sixiao didn't say anything. She calmly walked over to the fridge, took out a bottle of mineral water, then turned back around and asked Qin Wei:
"Qin Wei, do you drink coffee?"
Qin Wei didn't hear her. At this moment, Shen Qingqing had finally stopped pestering her, so she was taking the opportunity to watch episode 3 of Dragon King's Unwanted Son-in-Law.
But Qiao Sixiao didn't get angry. She took the mineral water back to the couch, poured it into a glass, and then slowly said to Shen Qingqing:
"What were you just saying?"
Shen Qingqing swallowed and was clearly a little nervous facing her senior. And having just been ignored added to her nerves:
"Teacher Qiao, I'm actress Shen Qing..."
"What did you call me?" Qiao Sixiao interrupted her words.
"Teacher Qiao..."
"You only call her sister?"
"..."
Qin Wei: "?"
Shen Qingqing was also a little stunned and didn't make a sound.
"There are four people older than you living here, and you only call her sister?"
Shen Qingqing silently changed her address:
"Teacher Qin..."
Live stream comments:
[Is Teacher Qiao going to discipline every unlucky kid she runs into?!]
[No, I hope Teacher Qiao puts all her attention on Teacher Qin]
[The one Qiao is saving isn’t Qin Wei but me. My brain was hurting listening to Shen Qingqing call her sister all the time. It sounded sweet the first time but got annoying fast. If she calls her sister every day, I really...]
[She probably thought calling her sister made them seem closer. After all, Lü E still has decent popularity on the show right now. The only relationship Shen Qingqing can form is with Lü E. If they seem close, there’ll be more interaction. More interaction means more hype. After all, the audience vote weighs the most on this show. Those who know, know.]
[You understand it all, how else can Shen Qingqing play it?]
[The main thing is, this forced interaction isn’t sweet at all. Sister doesn’t play along.]
[Sister dislikes you]
[But sister won’t say it]
[Sister hopes you’ll...]
[Get the hint]
[Oh my gosh, the bgm (background music) in my head started playing!]
...
As they were talking, Qin Wei was already on episode 5.
It was getting late, so Shen Qingqing and Youyou went upstairs to their rooms. Qiao Sixiao also told Qin Wei good night and went back to her room.
In the living room, Qin Wei was left alone on the sofa, still silly happy. She was completely unaware that everyone else had already gone to bed. When she looked up, she only saw the livestream still going with comments floating by on the screen.
It was late, time to go back to her room and sleep.
Qin Wei pushed open the door but it didn’t open.
She pressed harder but the door locked from inside?
"Sweet Sweet, why did you lock the door to sleep?"
Qin Wei didn't dare yell loudly for fear of waking the other roommates. She could only lower her voice to call out Sweet Sweet while gently knocking on the door.
"Sweet Sweet, open the door..."
"Sweet Sweet..."
"Sweetie, open the door..."
At 12:30 midnight, there were actually still people watching the livestream:
[Shock! Female star with S surname bullies female star with Q surname, not letting her sleep late at night!]
[What’s Sweet Sweet doing? I thought they normally got along well!]
[Amateur. Director Sun sees the bigger picture that you don’t understand. She personally directed that fanservice video last time. Big shot CP fan, leader of the QinXiao CP forum. She understands better than anyone!]
Qin Wei knocked on the door for a long time without getting a response. She could only give up.
She turned around to knock on the next door over instead.
And that door over there really opened for her knock.
Live stream comments:
[WTF? Little Qiao opened the door for her?]
[[Shocked emoji] This plot seems familiar, like I dreamed it before!]
[Wow, is this Director Sun’s own fanfic?]
[Well I’m not sleepy anymore]
...
At 12:45 midnight, the number of viewers in the stream suddenly surged, even higher than the daytime numbers. Comments floated by densely, with many saying "KDL" (an abbreviation for "got high on it") and "It's real!"
Even the main director got alarmed. The stream director called him and he deliberately woke up to watch the stream. But there was nothing except the empty living room.
Yet there were so many viewers.
"I understand young people nowadays less and less. Little what's your name, what are they watching?" Oh right, the intern got converted to full-time.
...
Just when many people in the comments said they'd stay up all night, the door opened and Qin Wei came out hugging a pillow.
Live stream comments:
[What happened?]
[How did she get out?]
[?? Is she still watching us?]
[Wasn't she taken in?]
...
She put the pillow on the sofa and laid down, continuing to watch her phone.
Still silly happy.
She watched 17 straight episodes in one go, getting more addicted the more she watched.
How did she not notice this before?
Live stream comments:
[I get it, she was lying there watching stuff on her phone, affecting the other person's sleep]
[So she got kicked out right? KDLKDL (got high on it)]
[What's there to get high on, she got kicked out!]
[Can you bear Director Sun's thoughtfully laid plans?]
In fact, Qin Wei had only gone in to borrow a pillow, afraid her shoulders would hurt when she woke up tomorrow.
[Why isn't she sleeping yet?]
[It's 3 AM...I can't hold on much longer...]
[When is she gonna sleep...]
[Is the "guess what time Lü E will fall asleep" event still going? My phone smacked my face twice already. How is she still so energetic?]
[What is she watching?]
[If Sister Qin doesn't sleep, neither will I. Rounding up, we're together now]
[If Sister Qin is lying down, I'm lying down too. Rounding up, we're lying together now]
[If Sister Qin is watching her phone, I'm watching my phone too. Rounding up, we're lying together watching our phones]
[Little Qiao doesn't want Sister Qin but I want Sister Qin. Rounding up, we're getting married now]
[You people, has your motherly love become twisted?]
It wasn’t until around 5 AM that Qin Wei finally fell asleep with her phone lying on the ground and her curled up on the sofa.
Even this little thing made it onto the hot search trends:
#QinWei Sleeps at 5AM#
[[Thumbs up emoji] Victory for night owls!]
[[Thumbs up emoji] Victory for overnight crew!]
Five minutes later, Qiao Sixiao came out from her room, covered Qin Wei with a light blanket, then returned to her room.
Even this little thing made it to #1 on hot search:
#QiaoSixiao Covers QinWei with Blanket#
[WTF I was about to pass out from lack of sleep, finally got a tiny bit of sugar]
[Director Sun, did you see it? The CP you ship just gave us sugar!]
[Director Sun can rest easy now...@Hot Entertainment Gossip_Sweet Sweet]
[Hot Entertainment Gossip_Sweet Sweet: ???]
[Who brought Director Sun here?]
[Oh Director Sun, did you just get up or have you not slept at all?]
