After We Broke Up, She Started Pursuing Me [Entertainment Industry] 68

Chapter 68

Zhou Jinsi had never been one for romance.

This plan to appease her was something she had looked up online. The comments below were all unanimously positive. The only drawback was—

The drones were incredibly expensive.

So, the plan the poster had written was purely based on imagination. He never thought someone would actually use it to appease their girlfriend.

But Zhou Jinsi wasn’t short on money.

The money in her card was her savings from all these years, including various scholarships and salaries. She was just worrying about where to spend this sum.

After contacting the staff, she immediately implemented the plan.

Zhou Jinsi was very satisfied with the plan.

She had expected that Shi Qin might be very surprised, very moved. But at this moment, a faint laugh came from the other end of the phone—

“It’s a little cheesy. Where did you learn that?”

Zhou Jinsi’s smile froze for a moment.

“Ah… is it… hahaha… I saw it online. They all said—”

Just as Zhou Jinsi was about to explain herself, Shi Qin interrupted her with a laugh.

“Alright, I like it very much.”

“Baby.”

Shi Qin deliberately drew out the last syllable, a lazy sexiness in her tone, exceptionally alluring.

Hearing her use this address, Zhou Jinsi’s face quickly flushed red, not knowing what to say.

“Why aren’t you talking? You’re not shy, are you? Baby?”

“Baby, why aren’t you talking? Why have you stopped talking? Baby?”

“Hahahahaha…”

Shi Qin had intended to tease her, but halfway through, she made herself laugh.

Hearing her laughter, the corners of Zhou Jinsi’s mouth also turned up. She changed the subject and asked, “Now, you’re not angry anymore, are you?”

Actually, Shi Qin’s anger had already dissipated a lot these past few days, but that matter had not been cleared up yet, and it still left a mark in her heart.

“Then do you know why I was angry?”

As expected, Zhou Jinsi hesitated for a while and couldn’t come up with a reason.

“I… can we talk in person? Okay?”

Shi Qin pressed her lips together to hide her smile. “Alright, seeing as you’re so sincere.”

Zhou Jinsi was secretly delighted and pressed on, “Then can you open the door?”

“What?” Shi Qin turned her head to look at the door, a bold idea popping into her mind.

“You’re not outside, are you?”

The moment she said it, Shi Qin rushed to the door to verify.

Sure enough, the moment she opened the door, Shi Qin was completely stunned.

Zhou Jinsi stood straight outside the door, holding a large bouquet of red roses.

“You…” Shi Qin was both surprised and amused. She quickly pulled Zhou Jinsi inside.

Zhou Jinsi thrust the flowers into Shi Qin’s arms. She looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, “For you.”

Shi Qin took the flowers and smelled them. There was a faint fragrance; they must have been bought recently.

“Ninety-nine?”

Zhou Jinsi was actually a little surprised. “How did you know? Can you tell?”

Seeing her simple and honest look, Shi Qin really couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t people always give ninety-nine roses to their significant other? You didn’t know?”

Zhou Jinsi shook her head honestly. “I didn’t know.”

“It’s my first time giving them.”

This person always said such alluring things unintentionally.

Of course, Shi Qin was moved, but she still pouted and said, “Don’t spend so much money again in the future. Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

“You don’t like it?”

Shi Qin was at a loss for words for a moment. “That’s a different matter from whether I like it or not.”

Zhou Jinsi took a step closer to her, looked down at her, and said, “As long as you like it, that’s enough.”

“Money should be spent on meaningful things. If you like it, then this gift is very meaningful.”

Shi Qin looked into her eyes, which were as shimmering as water, as if filled with affection.

Seeing Zhou Jinsi getting closer and closer, Shi Qin immediately stopped her. “Stop. What are you doing?”

“We’re still in a cold war. You can’t do anything else.”

Her serious expression, in Zhou Jinsi’s eyes, was incredibly cute.

She took another step forward. “I’m not doing anything else.”

Zhou Jinsi slowly took the bouquet from Shi Qin’s hands and placed it on a nearby cabinet.

“I just want to hug you. Can I?”

Her tone was as devout as if she were praying for something, making it impossible to refuse.

Shi Qin looked at her without speaking. Zhou Jinsi knew she had tacitly agreed and immediately pulled her into an embrace. Her tall, slender figure completely enveloped Shi Qin.

The long-lost warmth in her arms made Zhou Jinsi feel satisfied. She closed her eyes and smelled the fragrance of Shi Qin’s hair, like a big dog constantly sniffing.

When Zhou Jinsi became assertive, Shi Qin, on the contrary, felt a little unaccustomed.

Her hands pressed against Zhou Jinsi’s shoulders, her fingers clenching her collar. “Zhou Jinsi, I’ve discovered you…”

“What is it?” Zhou Jinsi released her.

“Are you a little bit of a ‘love brain’ (someone who loses all reason when in love)?”

Shi Qin looked at her very seriously, but after saying this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

This was a very new term. Zhou Jinsi didn’t understand. “Am I?”

“Is there anything wrong with that?”

Shi Qin was at a loss for words. “Well, it’s not that it’s bad… it’s just…”

Zhou Jinsi saw her little mouth moving, her lips full and tempting. Only those who had tasted them knew how delicious they were.

Her throat bobbed twice. Before Shi Qin could finish, Zhou Jinsi cut her off again:

“I still want to kiss you. Can I?”

“No!”

Shi Qin glared at her coquettishly, thinking that this person had really gone bad. Before, she was a novice who would blush at just holding hands.

“We still have things to clear up. Before that, you can’t touch me.”

Zhou Jinsi grabbed her restless hands and held them in her embrace.

She lowered her head and moved closer. “Why?”

“No why.”

Shi Qin saw her stand there stunned for a long time without speaking and thought she understood. But in the next second, a kiss came at her. She had no time to dodge.

Zhou Jinsi only pecked her lips twice before skillfully prying open her teeth and tangling deeply with her.

Shi Qin was held tightly in her embrace, with no chance to struggle. All she could do was let out a few muffled groans from her nose, hoping Zhou Jinsi would be a little gentler.

It wasn’t until today that she finally understood that Zhou Jinsi was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

And now this “big bad wolf” was still pestering her in all sorts of ways.

The two of them kissed like this for nearly five minutes. Shi Qin’s lips were numb from the kissing. Fortunately, before her legs went weak, Zhou Jinsi finally let her go.

Seeing her flushed face and panting form, Zhou Jinsi couldn’t help but smile, only to be met with a heavy blow.

Shi Qin looked at her, embarrassed and angry. “What are you laughing at?”

Zhou Jinsi immediately wiped the smile off her face, thoughtfully pulled her to the sofa, and had her sit on her lap.

She wrapped her arms around her waist and said gently, “So… why were you angry with me? Can you tell me?”

Hearing this, Shi Qin also became serious. Looking into her eyes, she said, “Last time, after I replied to your message for you, I saw that photo in your album.”

“When did you take it?”

Shi Qin didn’t say it explicitly, but at this point, Zhou Jinsi also reacted.

She quickly explained, “That was taken a long time ago… The first time I went to the welfare institute with Auntie Jiang, I saw this photo in the director’s office and thought it looked a lot like you.”

“I thought about asking you, but then I vaguely knew that the thing you’ve been reluctant to talk about is related to this, so I didn’t want to bring it up in front of you.”

Shi Qin retorted, “So, you went to investigate on your own?”

Zhou Jinsi did not hide her thoughts. “I did think about it at first.”

“I wanted to know what you had been through before, but then I gave up that idea. I still want you to tell me yourself.”

With that, Zhou Jinsi even raised her hand to swear, “Everything I’ve said above is true. I promise.”

“If I’m lying…”

Hearing this, Shi Qin quickly covered her mouth. “Alright, alright. It’s not like we’re acting. What are you swearing for?”

“Actually…” Shi Qin lowered her eyes, her words suddenly pausing.

“Even if you knew about those things, it wouldn’t matter. I just don’t want you to lie to me. I hope we can be a little more honest with each other.”

“Okay, I understand,” Zhou Jinsi watched her silently.

Shi Qin sighed softly, her body relaxing as she leaned into Zhou Jinsi’s embrace.

She closed her eyes, listened to Zhou Jinsi’s strong heartbeat, and said slowly, “The person in that photo is me. I used to be an orphan.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jinsi’s heart suddenly clenched. She suddenly regretted why she had been so eager to know the answer.

Feeling Zhou Jinsi’s caress, Shi Qin nuzzled comfortably on her shoulder.

“Since I was little, the person who has always taken care of me is Auntie, which is your Auntie Jiang.”

“Later, when I was ten, I was adopted by the Shi family.”

Zhou Jinsi kissed the top of her head. She had thought the story was over and was about to comfort her, but Shi Qin continued.

“That year, Auntie told me that my mother left after giving birth to me, and my…”

Shi Qin’s words stopped. She didn’t really want to bring up this person.

“The other person… he doesn’t acknowledge me. So since I was little, I’ve never even seen them.”

“Growing up in this environment, I actually lack a lot of love, my emotions are not very stable, and it’s easy for me to feel insecure.”

“Especially compared to someone with your status…” Shi Qin cupped Zhou Jinsi’s face and stared at her.

“I feel even more inferior.”

She sighed, “Actually, besides this face, I have no other reason to be proud. Can you understand?”

“But…” Shi Qin laughed self-deprecatingly.

“I’ll get old one day too. By then, when I’m old and ugly, I’ll really have nothing left.”

Zhou Jinsi’s heart ached as she held her hand. “Who says?”

Her knuckles were long and slender, easily enveloping Shi Qin’s entire hand.

A wave of warmth spread from the back of her hand straight to Shi Qin’s heart.

“You still have me. I’ll always be here.”

“And… I also want to become a reason for you to be proud.”

Simple and sincere words of love are the most moving. Shi Qin looked deeply into her eyes, which unknowingly grew moist.

She was both happy and worried as she asked, “Really? Will you always be with me?”

At this moment, Zhou Jinsi seemed to see a child who had just eaten candy. Having tasted the sweetness, she wanted more, yet was afraid that the candy given by others was a trick.

She pressed Shi Qin’s head down, their foreheads touching.

She said softly, “Really.”

“You know, my liking you is something that even I can’t change.”
