Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Since getting involved in that car accident and assault case, Li Ruoyan has been keeping out of the limelight for the past two weeks and has not accepted any events.

But recently, the production team suddenly contacted him and invited him to participate in the variety show.

It was clearly an unknown new program, but the production team, from who knows where, claimed they could set the price.

This familiar feeling almost instantly reminded him of Shen Suwei.

But he didn't understand why Shen Suwei wanted him to participate in this variety show.

He didn't believe Shen Suwei was trying to give him resources.

There must be a conspiracy.

Two days before the recording, he accidentally got in touch with Shen Shiyu and learned that Shen Shiyu would also be participating. Not only Shen Shiyu, but Shen Suwei would also be there.

He originally thought that Shen Suwei wanted to force him to date Shen Shiyu and make it official on the show.

But just now, he saw that girl again...

Yunqiao.

What did they mean by that?

Yun Qiao said, "He has amnesia, do you think he would care?"

Does "he" refer to him?

But in his memory, every period of his life was complete. Sister Yu had known him since his senior year of high school, and she also said that he had not lost his memory.

You've only met Yun Qiao a few times, so why would you say she has amnesia?

Shen Suwei's reaction was also unusual; he had never seen Shen Suwei show such an emotional expression before.

Shen Suwei said, "Your reaction is so strong just from hearing his name. Does that really make me think you still like him?"

Why is it "or"?

Did Yun Qiao like him before?

Her heart was beating a little fast, and Li Ruoyan subconsciously covered her chest.

It's really strange that just thinking about this guess makes him feel a kind of inexplicable smugness and anticipation.

But he didn't like Yun Qiao. He only approached her to make her fall in love with him, so as to cause trouble for Shen Suwei.

Li Ruoyan's thoughts were a bit chaotic. He only came back to his senses when Chi Zhou called. He answered the phone and walked towards the backstage lounge.

He pushed open the door to the lounge and saw that familiar figure from afar.

The girl was putting on makeup and didn't notice him.

Thinking about their conversation in the stairwell, he suddenly became very curious about Yun Qiao's reaction when she saw him.

Completely forgetting that Chi Zhou had just called him and asked him to come over, he walked straight toward Yun Qiao.

Yun Qiao was putting on makeup when she heard footsteps approaching from behind. She thought it was Shen Suwei and opened her eyes to look.

But in the mirror, she saw Li Ruoyan standing behind her.

She was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked for Shen Suwei. When she found that he was not there, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Miss Yun, we meet again."

Yun Qiao nodded politely yet distantly to him through the mirror, as if to say hello.

"Long time no see, Teacher Li."

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Li Ruoyan's gaze towards her was a little strange today.

It looked like they were sizing each other up.

Seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, Yun Qiao was afraid that Shen Suwei, who was extremely jealous, would see this, so she quickly spoke again:

"If you have something else to do, you can go ahead and take care of it."

"I'm not busy."

"...?" Even if you're not busy, you don't need to stand here and stare at her like that, do you?

Yun Qiao's inner thoughts are also the inner thoughts of the staff around her.

The female makeup artist glanced at Li Ruoyan several times out of the corner of her eye, her hands trembling uncontrollably from nervousness and shyness.

While she was applying eyeliner, Yunqiao was so afraid that she would poke her eye that she quickly took the eyeliner from her hand:

"I'll draw it myself."

"I can—"

"I'll draw it myself." Yun Qiao looked at her somewhat seriously.

The female makeup artist noticed Yun Qiao's gaze and felt a little intimidated. She didn't dare to insist any further and said, "Okay, then you can do it yourself."

Standing behind the two, Li Ruoyan frowned slightly when she saw Yun Qiao's expression suddenly turn cold.

Was he taking his anger out on Yun Qiao because of Shen Suwei, or was it that Yun Qiao's behavior was indeed somewhat similar to Shen Suwei's?

For a fleeting moment, he actually felt that Shen Suwei was somewhat similar to him.

He appears gentle on the surface, but is actually quite cold.

He disliked it very much.

As soon as Li Ruoyan was thinking, the door behind her opened again, and Shen Suwei walked in.

"What are you talking about?"

In front of the staff on site, Shen Suwei spoke in a very gentle tone.

Ke Yunqiao and Li Ruoyan both froze almost simultaneously upon hearing his voice.

Li Ruoyan stood not far behind Yun Qiao. He noticed Yun Qiao's brief stiffness and paused slightly, then looked at her strangely again.

Aren't Yun Qiao and Shen Suwei dating? Shen Suwei seems to like her a lot, so why does she seem afraid of him?

Yes……

As he considered one possibility, a subtle and complex look flashed across his eyes.

Before he could figure it out, Shen Suwei's voice came again:

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did I disturb you?"

Yun Qiao put down her eyeliner and looked coldly at Shen Suwei through the mirror:

"Did you see we were talking just now? How am I supposed to answer your question?"

His words were harsh, as if he was angry.

Li Ruoyan, who overheard the conversation between the two in the stairwell, vaguely knew what Yun Qiao was angry about.

Shen Suwei naturally knew this, but Yun Qiao had always treated him badly, so he had long since given up hope. He calmly walked to her side and made conversation:

"After we finish recording the pilot episode, we need to head to the filming location for the first episode immediately."

"Um."

Yun Qiao's response was not enthusiastic.

But Shen Suwei didn't care and kept trying to find a topic to talk about:

You look beautiful today.

"You mean I wasn't pretty before?"

You are beautiful every day.

"You don't need to tell me." Yun Qiao said unreasonably.

Shen Suwei twitched the corner of his mouth, his gaze suddenly shifting to Li Ruoyan:

"Why are you still here, Teacher Li? A female guest seemed to be looking for you."

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion.

But Li Ruoyan knew Shen Suwei's meaning almost the instant he looked over.

Tell him to get lost.

Remembering her purpose and plan for coming here, Li Ruoyan did not intend to confront Shen Suwei head-on at this time.

Be patient for now; soon, Shen Suwei will no longer be able to threaten him...

Li Ruoyan quickly left the lounge.

Once everyone left, the lounge became even quieter, the atmosphere carrying a sense of calm before the storm.

Shen Suwei didn't say anything more, but after Yun Qiao finished her makeup, the two of them walked out of the dressing room together and headed to the recording site. When they passed through a relatively dark corridor, Shen Suwei suddenly pulled Yun Qiao into a small room next to it.

"boom--"

"You do it—ugh!"

The lights weren't on, and the sound of the door closing and Yun Qiao's voice rang out simultaneously before abruptly stopping.

Shen Suwei held her against the door and leaned down to kiss her.

Bearing the punishment that had been suppressed for so long, he bit her lower lip hard, hard, but not hard enough to leave a mark.

He tormented her maliciously, eating her freshly applied lipstick bit by bit before letting her go.

Due to lack of oxygen and tension, Yun Qiao's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground the moment he relaxed.

Fortunately, Shen Suwei caught her waist in time, and he chuckled softly as he nestled against her neck:

"It's gone soft already?"

Yun Qiao was so angry she wanted to slap him across the face, but she was afraid of leaving a mark. If others saw it during the recording, they would definitely know it was her who hit him...

After much hesitation, she finally took a deep breath and said coldly:

"...Relax."

"Can you stand still?"
