Huayu: Just entered the industry, and was pursued by a young actress.

After Bai Lu finished kissing Zhou Jin, she noticed Dilraba standing behind him.

Even Bai Lu, who is usually quite bold, felt a little flustered at this moment.

Although everyone was aware of their relationship with Zhou Jin, such intimate behavior in front of the person in question was still too awkward.

She could only blush and force herself to greet him, "Good afternoon, Reba."

"good afternoon."

Dilraba pouted, walked to Zhou Jin's side, and affectionately hugged his arm.

To ease the tension, Bai Lu quickly changed the subject: "You must all be hungry after your journey, right? Go back and eat. I specially prepared hot pot knowing you were coming back today."

Zhou Jin and Reba nodded.

The three of them returned to the rented apartment together and walked into the living room.

The table was already laden with a sumptuous array of hot pot ingredients: beef tripe, tripe, lamb rolls, beef rolls, fish balls... and even the dipping sauces for each person had been prepared in advance.

Seeing this huge table of food, Dilraba remembered how jealous she had been downstairs earlier and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She took the initiative to say to Bai Lu:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing Dilraba say that, Bai Lu smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's not hard work at all. I have to prepare these things for my own meals anyway."

If Yang Mi, that sly fox, were here, this wouldn't have happened.

But the simple-minded Dilraba was indeed easily manipulated.

The three of them took off their coats and prepared to sit down at the dining table.

This dining table is a standard four-person table.

Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat. This meant that one person would definitely sit next to him, and the other person would sit opposite him.

If Bai Lu and Dilraba sit next to each other, that's fine. But if they sit on opposite sides, Zhou Jin will upset the other person no matter who she sits next to.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

However, he reacted quickly. To avoid such a chaotic situation, he pulled out a chair without saying a word and sat down first.

Bai Lu saw right through Zhou Jin's desperate attempt to survive, gave him a playful glare, and then very sensibly walked to the other side, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Reba didn't think too much about it. She looked at the empty seat next to Zhou Jin with great joy, and like a little animal guarding its food, she excitedly moved over and sat down next to Zhou Jin.

As the ingredients were added, the hot pot quickly came to a boil.

While eating the steaming hot pot, Zhou Jin suddenly felt something warm and soft press against her thigh.

He glanced down and noticed that Bai Lu had kicked off her slippers sometime during the night.

The foot, wrapped in thin black stockings, was slowly rubbing up his calf, its toes playfully drawing circles on the inside of his thigh.

Zhou Jin secretly gasped.

This white deer is too bold; it likes to make these little gestures while eating, just like Nazha.

Last time, Nazha did this in front of Yang Mi, but Yang Mi was too shrewd and saw through it at a glance.

But Dilraba, who was sitting next to her, was clueless and just focused on eating, not noticing anything.

Reba's complete lack of awareness only emboldened Bai Lu on the other side to take advantage of her.

This hot pot meal was already making everyone sweat, and Bai Lu's teasing only fueled Zhou Jin's anger.

After finally finishing her meal, Zhou Jin, seething with anger, dragged Dilraba into her bedroom.

Just as she was about to hug him, Reba reached out and pressed her hand against his chest with a look of guilt on her face.

Zhou Jin was taken aback and looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you angry with me?"

Reba gently shook her head, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head in extreme embarrassment, saying:

"No... I, I've gotten my period."

Zhou Jin's eyes widened instantly.

He was so angry with Bai Lu that he never expected that he would run into his period at such a crucial moment.

However, seeing Dilraba's self-reproachful expression, Zhou Jin instantly sobered up, and most of her anger dissipated.

He immediately pulled Reba to sit down on the edge of the bed, his large hand moving to her lower abdomen and gently massaging it, asking with concern:

"Does your stomach hurt? Do you feel cold? You ate so much spicy food outside, are you feeling unwell? Lie down and don't move, I'll get you a cup of hot water to warm you up."

Seeing Zhou Jin clearly suffering but still caring deeply about her health, Dilraba felt increasingly guilty.

She grabbed Zhou Jin, who was about to get up to pour water, and said softly but firmly, her face flushed:

"Brother Jin, my stomach doesn't hurt, I'm fine. If you're really in pain... I can help you like last time."

Zhou Jin was preoccupied with worry about her health and didn't react for a moment, asking blankly:

"Last time? What happened last time?"

Dilraba's face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck. Too embarrassed to look up, she explained in a barely audible voice:

"It's...it's that time I called Nazha last time..."

Zhou Jin initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Reba's determined gaze, she eventually softened and agreed.

Dilraba skillfully opened the drawer, found a hair tie, neatly tied her long hair behind her head, and then obediently lowered her head.

After a while, Reba let out a muffled "woo woo" sound, quickly got up, covered her mouth, and ran into the bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of rinsing mouths and brushing teeth came from inside.

When she returned, blushing, she found that Zhou Jin was still full of energy.

Reba pouted, gritting her teeth, just about to continue to suffer in silence, when Zhou Jin pulled her back with a pained expression.

Dilraba looked up pitifully at Zhou Jin and asked, "Brother Jin, do you like me more, or Bai Lu more?"

Zhou Jin smiled and gently rubbed her head, saying:

"Silly girl, you've known me for a long time longer than Bai Lu, and you confirmed our relationship much earlier, so of course I like you a little bit more."

Hearing this, Dilraba's eyes were filled with surprise.

She thought Zhou Jin would brush it off, and even if she didn't give a direct answer, she was prepared to suffer a little bit of grievance.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin answered so decisively.

She happily threw herself into Zhou Jin's arms and hugged him tightly.

Then, Dilraba generously raised her head and said, "Jin-ge, go and raid Bailu at night. But go secretly, okay? Give her a surprise!"

Zhou Jin looked at the simple-minded Reba and shook her head with a smile.

This hardly qualifies as a surprise.

Even if Dilraba didn't have her period today, Bai Lu probably already knew he would definitely go over tonight.

Bai Lu knew all too well his boundless energy. If Yang Mi and Dilraba joined forces, they could barely handle it, but Dilraba alone was far from enough to satisfy him.

Under Reba's reluctant gaze, Zhou Jin opened the door and walked out.

He walked through the living room to Bai Lu's bedroom door and gently knocked.

Bai Lu opened the door quickly, less than two seconds after she knocked.

However, when she saw Zhou Jin outside the door, her face was full of surprise.

Looking at her, Zhou Jin couldn't help but tease her:

"Your acting has improved a lot; you portrayed surprise quite naturally."

Bai Lu rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"I'm genuinely surprised! How did you get here so quickly? Only a few minutes have passed! Could it be that you've already..., Brother Jin?"

Halfway through her sentence, she deliberately covered her mouth in an exaggerated manner.
