“Ah…!” Cha Susu was so thrilled that she couldn’t hold back the grin spreading across her face. Her enthusiasm bubbling over, she skipped right over and looped her arm through the waitress sister’s. Flashing a V-sign at the camera, she chirped, “Let’s take one with the three of us~”
Caught between the two on either side, the waitress sister darted her eyes left and right, nearly passing out from sheer excitement.
Cha Susu reminded her fan, “Can I post these pics after I finish eating? I don’t want the other little tea leaves—y’know, my fans—to find out my schedule and come swarming. I’d never get to enjoy this meal.”
The waitress sister nodded vigorously. “I-I promise I’ll keep it secret! Don’t worry, Susu!”
After snapping the photos, the waitress sister lingered, clearly reluctant to leave.
No way! Cha Susu grew anxious. Having a fan hovering nearby would ruin their romantic twosome time! She had to shoo her away.
“Ahem~” Cha Susu turned to the waitress sister with a sweet smile. “Little tea leaf, could you give us a bit of privacy~?”
She pointed at Liang Sheng, then at herself, and pressed a finger to her lips in a “shh” gesture. With a playful wink, she added, “I want some alone time with my Shengsheng~”
What?! Alone time?! The waitress sister’s mind reeled. Her shipped CP was real! Aaaah! She could die happy!
The waitress sister flashed an OK sign and scampered out the door.
Just before it clicked shut, she shouted, “Enjoy your meal, you two!!!”
“Talk about lung power,” the green-haired girl said, giving a thumbs-up to the closed door.
“Alright~ Shengsheng, let’s eat~” Cha Susu’s eyes brimmed with barely concealed affection.
The fan, not far down the hall, bumped straight into another service staff member.
“What’re you running for?” The other staffer looked unfamiliar; the fan knew she was new.
“Oh, nothing, nothing…” Clutching her face, she hurried away.
The new service staff muttered under her breath, “What a weirdo…”
She glanced back, noticing the fan had emerged from the private room on the left. Curiosity piqued, she crept over and cracked the door open just a sliver.
With both Liang Sheng and Cha Susu facing away from the door, neither noticed the peeper.
The service staff narrowed her eyes.
That silhouette… it looked so familiar.
Ah! She remembered now—it was that hot new celeb! The one blowing up on that mega-popular variety show. A rising starlet, total traffic magnet.
Gotta record this. Post it online, and boom—instant viral!
Phone in hand, she hit record.
By sheer coincidence, just as she pressed the button, Cha Susu inside leaned in and planted a quick kiss on the green-haired girl’s cheek.
The peeping tom froze on the spot. She hadn’t expected to catch something this explosive.
Ecstatic, the peeping tom’s hand trembled around her phone. This wasn’t just viral material—it was sellable intel! Ka-ching.
She let out a shaky laugh, her whole body quivering.
Oblivious inside the room, the two girls cooed and spoon-fed each other, flaunting their love.
As the saying goes, those who show off their romance tend to crash and burn fast(?).
After nearly a minute of footage, the peeping service staff pocketed her phone. Enough was enough—any longer, and she’d risk getting spotted by the girls inside, passing staff, or guests.
“Quit while ahead! Time for some extra cash~” She beamed.
The two girls had no clue this would make tomorrow morning’s headlines.
As they parted, Liang Sheng slipped Cha Susu a bank card on the sly.
“Fifty grand inside. Spend it however.”
Holy crap! Cha Susu nearly spun in gleeful circles right there before slamming into a wall.
Her dream! Finding an overbearing CEO girlfriend—finally realized!!!
“Shengsheng, you’re the best!” She threw her arms around the green-haired girl and planted a loud smooch on her lips.
Cha Susu didn’t actually need the fifty grand. What she craved was that oily—scratch that—irresistibly dominant vibe.
Liang Sheng, though? She could spare the fifty grand, but it still stung like hell. After all, the girl was a notorious tightwad.
“Sigh. Down to just 28,237,651.82 in the account now,” Liang Sheng lamented from her bed, wiping away fake tears. She even had it memorized to the last cent.
The next morning, Liang Sheng slept in until after ten. She grabbed her phone and jolted awake. Over seventy missed calls from Cha Susu.
What happened? A bad feeling crept over Liang Sheng.
Had her history of flirting with girls finally caught up?
Nervously, she called back.
“Shengsheng!” Cha Susu picked up instantly. “Do you know…? Our relationship… it’s on the hot search!”
“…Huh?” Freshly awake, Liang Sheng’s brain lagged. “Hot search? What hot search?”
“Our dating, dummy!”
Liang Sheng’s eyes flew wide; she shot upright. “Oh! Oh! Oh!”
Then she slumped back. “So what if we’re dating?”
Ugh, she must’ve overslept her brains out.
Cha Susu: “…”
What kind of girlfriend had she even landed?
“Someone filmed us dating, posted the video online, and now it’s trending!!!” Cha Susu wailed, on the verge of tears.
“Hah—?!” Liang Sheng vaulted out of bed. “What the—?!”
Doomed.
The green-haired girl started shaking. “W-What do we do? Clarify? Let it ride and make it official? Pfft, no—do we need PR? Gotta clarify this, right?”
A total newbie to celeb drama, she had no clue how the industry handled stars coming out. But she knew one thing: as a rising starlet, this would hit Cha Susu hard.
Cha Susu pinched the bridge of her nose. She was in a car en route to meet her parents.
“How about… you meet my mom and dad, Shengsheng?”
Liang Sheng’s brows knotted like a tangled skein of yarn. “Isn’t that moving too fast? Will Uncle and Aunt even…”
“My dad knows I like you. I came out to him ages ago—told him it’s a girl. He’s cool with it. He can handle Mom; she listens to him.”
“…Alright.” Liang Sheng hung up and started changing.
At this point, meeting the parents to strategize made sense.
Standing before her closet, Liang Sheng hesitated, then dialed her own parents.
This “big reveal” warranted proactive disclosure. Better they hear it from her than grill her later.
