Chapter 56 You can't be so aloof when flirting with girls!
Familiar people, familiar temperature, tacit cooperation, revealing primal instincts in the twilight and the alternation of day and night.
The argument over the rental apartment continued until a little after nine o'clock at night, when the two snuggled together on the soft bed.
Bai Mengyan's face was filled with happiness and contentment as she rested her head on Xu Lang's arm, a faint smile on her lips.
They seemed to be recalling the blissful moment they had just shared.
Xu Lang picked up his phone and saw nine unread messages, three of which were from Jing Tian.
A message informed her that the film she was currently shooting was nearing its end.
A message informed her that she would be coming to Hengdian next month to film "Ban Shu Legend" [playful].
The third [picture] is a photo of her taking a picture in front of a mirror right after she has taken a bath, a photo with strong sexual tension.
Xu Lang clicked on the picture and examined it carefully.
Da Tian Tian truly lives up to her reputation as a woman of wealth and beauty. She possesses a noble yet gentle temperament and has the potential to embody the image of a woman who brings peace and prosperity to the nation.
Her beauty is different from others in the entertainment industry; it is both approachable and noble, and it doesn't feel out of place at all.
"Oh, so you're trying to woo this guy lately?"
Bai Mengyan suddenly leaned closer, her eyes wide as she stared at Jing Tian on the screen, her tone a mix of teasing and amazement:
"Isn't this Jing Tian? Your taste is indeed very high. But I heard she has a powerful background. Although her acting skills aren't great, her status is quite high. Are you... sure you can win her over?"
Xu Lang twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a cynical smile:
"When have I ever needed to consider a girl's status when pursuing her? This face is enough. Weren't you initially attracted to me because of my good looks?"
"Get lost! I'm not that shallow!" Bai Mengyan rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Xu Lang, I advise you to give up. You won't succeed in pursuing her; she's so beautiful, let me see!"
Her hands moved incredibly fast; before she could finish speaking, the phone had already been taken over.
Xu Lang reached out to grab it, but she had already rolled over to the edge of the bed, jumped off the floor barefoot, and was rapidly scrolling through chat logs on the floor with her fingertips.
The expression on his face was quite something, a bit unbelievable...
Finally, she looked up at Xu Lang in disbelief:
"Holy crap, Xu Lang, you... you're amazing! Jing Tian is pursuing you? And you're ignoring her!"
She quickly scrolled through their recent chat history, where Jing Tian was particularly proactive; she actively shared her daily life with him, confided her feelings to him, and actively sought out topics to chat about...
But Xu Lang responded to them with indifferent and cold replies like "hmm," "oh," and "okay," as cold as a heartless reply machine.
Even so, Jing Tian's enthusiasm was not dampened, and she still tirelessly sought him out, taking the initiative to start conversations.
I was just advising Xu Lang not to make a fool of himself, that a toad trying to eat swan meat; I never expected to be proven wrong so quickly, that it was actually Jing Tian, the swan, trying to eat a toad.
She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said, "No wonder he's the man I've set my sights on, he's so charming; but why are you so cold to him? If you latch onto this 'golden thigh,' even a little bit of resources you leak out will be enough for you to take off."
"I'll reply for you! You can't be so aloof when flirting!"
As she spoke, her fingers flew across the phone screen.
"No, Mengyan, don't do anything reckless!" Xu Lang circled around the bed, trying to snatch the phone back.
Bai Mengyan climbed onto the large bed, keeping her distance from him, her fingers still flying across the keyboard as she replied to messages.
"Wait a minute, I'll add some firewood for you..."
……
Far away in Hong Kong Island, Jing Tian, having just taken a shower and lazily lying on the sofa, was about to binge-watch a TV series when a message popped up on her phone.
I picked up my phone and opened it.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She completely ignored the movie playing on the tablet in front of her.
Moreover, it was no longer a perfunctory response, but rather a tone that carried a rare initiative and warmth.
Fingers danced rapidly across the phone screen as the user replied to a message.
When she sent her message and received an instant reply, her smile was barely contained. She pushed the tablet aside, her eyes glued to the screen, and as she saw "typing," she felt an overwhelming sense of anticipation...
It felt as if I had persevered for so long, and finally melted the ice with my passion; it was all worth it.
Xu Lang's enthusiasm has returned.
Just as she was engrossed in chatting, her phone rang; it was Gulinaza calling.
The two met during the filming of "Police Story 2013" and occasionally interacted, especially since their friendship from the movie continued after filming had just finished.
Normally, Jing Tian would be happy to answer the phone, but at this moment...
She looked at the half-sent sentence Xu Lang had just sent on the screen, then at the flashing caller ID, and for the first time felt a little impatient with this new friend's call.
But I accepted it anyway!
"Naza, what made you think of calling me?" she asked naturally, maintaining a friendly smile.
But deep down she was very anxious, as if to say, "Nazha, if you have something to say, say it quickly, don't delay my conversation with Xu Lang."
"Tian Tian, what should I do? I didn't do anything wrong, but I've been framed. I feel so bad. Can you talk to me?"
On the other end of the phone, Naza sounded tearful, full of grievances, and looked pitiful.
Jing Tian hesitated!
After much deliberation, she decided to abandon Naza's side, because she knew what Naza wanted to say.
Lately, I've been complaining to myself a lot about how Zheng Shuang falsely accused her of being a homewrecker; but she didn't...
I guess it's just these kinds of things; I'm tired of hearing about them.
"Naza, um... I have something urgent to attend to tonight, I'll call you back later, okay?"
She could still tell what was important and what was not!
"All right!"
After hanging up the phone, I saw that Xu Lang had sent me a few more messages.
She quickly replied.
My eyes were glued to the phone screen, but the "typing" message never appeared.
Fifteen seconds... thirty seconds... one minute... two minutes... three minutes...
I haven't received any further messages from Xu Lang!
She pursed her lips and added another explanation: "I just received a work call."
It's like a stone sinking into the sea!
Three more minutes passed... The dialog box was eerily quiet.
"Ah...no...!"
She slammed her head onto the pillow, rolled around on the bed a few times, and made sounds full of resentment...
I picked up my phone, but still no reply from Xu Lang…
"what……"
I tossed my phone onto the soft bed, feeling regretful that I shouldn't have answered that call from Naza...
"Naza, Naza, why did you have to call now of all times..."
"He's ignoring me...we're back to square one..."
After struggling for a moment, she sighed resignedly.
He picked up his phone, stared at it for a while, but still didn't get a reply from Xu Lang, so he called Nazha back.
……
Rental property!
Xu Lang had already snatched the phone back. Looking at her chat with Jing Tian, all the cold water he had poured on her earlier was rekindled by her enthusiasm.
Utterly speechless!
"Bai Mengyan, we've already broken up. You can't keep controlling my phone like this."
"Hehe, I was just trying to help you!" Bai Mengyan said with a grin, as if she had done a great favor.
"Jing Tian is so beautiful, and she's also a rich woman with connections; you definitely won't lose out if you're with her!"
"What's with that expression? It's like I'm bullying you. Here, I'll treat you to dinner. Come on, I'm hungry."
Glug glug...
Xu Lang was also hungry.
After several hours of strenuous exercise, the two had exhausted their physical and mental energy and needed to replenish their strength.
Xu Lang didn't want to dwell on this issue with her any longer:
"In short, you can no longer use my phone as you please and invade my privacy like you used to!"
"Don't interfere in my relationship with Jing Tian. I have my own ideas."
