BXBX NOVEL Chapter 150
“But can you act?”
“Although I haven’t tried it before, I’m not entirely clueless. I can still catch hold of the feelings you portrayed when acting.”
“Alright, let’s begin then.” Having someone to rehearse with her was way better than rehearsing alone towards an empty space.
Taking in a deep breath, she tried to erase the lingering awkwardness from her mind and recalled the lines to recite.
“Why do you not love me, what does she have that I don’t? Do you even know… ”
Lu Lixing nodded. “I know.”
“You know? So all along you have been using me?”
“Yes.”
“Has it ever crossed your mind that I would help you if you told me the truth? Why did you just lie and use me! Lu Xichen…”
“Stop,” Lu Luxing called. “It’s not ‘Lu Xichen’, it’s ‘Lu Lixing’.”
Ji Qingqing muttered, “The male lead is Lu Xichen, not you.”
Lu Lixing got up from the sofa and rolled his sleeves. “I also need to get into character,” he insisted.
“All right, all right,” Ji Qingqing took a deep breath and started again.
“Lu Lixing, if Father didn’t risk his life to take you in then, you would have been killed! For so many years, I thought your stone-cold heart would be warmed by me. But I could never imagine this. You ungrateful, cruel, shameless bastard! LU LIXING! Do you even have a conscience?”
Seeing how emotional she was, Lu Lixing’s brows furrowed.
Ji Qingqing closed her eyes, she immersed herself into the emotions of the second female lead and experienced the feelings of disbelief and grief that came after betrayal.
“Lu Lixing, do you even love me?”
Lu Lixing eyes were deep as he gazed fixedly at her. And Ji Qingqing’s bright and clear pupils reflected him alone.
“Why do you not love me? What must I do in exchange for your love? I can give you everything, including my life! I love you so much and…”
Ji Qingqing started to laugh in a self-mocking manner. “But… Even though you are ungrateful and cruel and shameless. But I…But I…”
“But even so, I still love you Lu Lixing!”
“Baby, I also love you.”
“En?”
——“Daily mission progress 2/3, life point +1. Current life points are worth 6 hours.”
——“Response to the display of affection is a success. Life point +1. Current life points are worth 7 hours.”
Lu Lixing’s additional ‘line’ caused Ji Qingqing to break out of her character’s emotional state.
Granted, it’s okay to have a slip of the tongue for the first attempt. But for it to occur again for the second time?
“Does the script contain that line?”
Lu Lixing pretended to look at the script for a moment. Then, he candidly replied,
“No, it’s not in there. My apologies. I got carried away when I saw you acting in such an enthralled manner.
This sentence somewhat seemed to be praising her acting skills?
“Then, earlier, why did you call me…” Ji Qingqing thought of those two words. She could feel her ears burning flusteredly, it was too embarrassing for her to say it.
“…Call me that? In the past, did you often tell Aunt Pei’s dog you love it?”
She suddenly remembered what Lu Lixing mentioned before. The dog Aunt Pei took care of previously, wasn’t it called Baby?
An image of Lu Lixing hugging a snowy white dog and saying ‘I love you’ popped up in her mind, causing her to shudder.
Hearing what she said, Lu Lixing gave an awkward cough. Nevertheless, he maintained a composed front. “Do you want to know?”
Ji Qingqing nodded.
“I’ll tell you after you respond.”
Ji Qingqing looked at him, puzzled.
“Baby.”
Ji Qingqing, “!!!”
Lu Lixing’s brows tightened. “Reply to me.”
“Ah?” Ji Qingqing subconsciously asked.
After realizing what just happened, a warm flush spread from her feet to the top of her head. Ji Qingqing felt as if her whole body was burning.
——”Daily mission progress 3/3, mission completed. Current life points are worth 8 hours.”
