Hitting Up The Big Leagues with a Green Tea Personality

Chapter 38



Someone Wanted To Mess With Her

....

A man would gain a huge amount of satisfaction if a pretty girl showered him with sincere praises.


Xia Bohe was an extremely gorgeous girl, not to mention the fact that she had activated the skill that would elicit his desire to be protective of her.


Luo Tianlin squinted his dark eyes and looked at her carefully. His sharp edges seemed to have softened momentarily.


He did not utter a single word.


Being her usual witty self, Xia Bohe did not say or do anything further. She let the atmosphere remain as it was so that he could bask in the afterglow of it.


She turned around and continued to wash her clothes.


She washed her pink underwear along with the hospital gown.


After squeezing the clothes dry, she held up the thin-strapped underwear and turned around to look for a drying rack, and noticed that a red flush had formed on Luo Tianlin’s stern face.


Xia Bohe found it funny.


As a president and school director, he could not be that innocent, right?


After all, he was already a mature, thirty-year-old man.


Xia Bohe blinked. “Where can I hang this?” she said, her tone intentionally soft.


“Cough,” he cleared his throat.


Luo Tianlin took a rapid step back, his dark eyes alert. He looked like he had come face-to-face with a horrific monstrosity.


“Place it in the laundry basket. Someone will come and collect it,” he said.


Hehe.


“Okay,” Xia Bohe replied with a wide grin on her face. She then did as he said obediently.


“I will call you ‘husband’ in front of your family from now onwards,” she said.


Luo Tianlin’s retreating figure halted abruptly.


After a long pause, he replied in his raspy voice, “Alright.”

Meanwhile, in a private tea room within the city district.


A sandalwood incense stood on the table, a white porcelain tea set placed beside it. The teacups were filled with emerald green-colored tea.


“Mi Min lost big-time to her this time around. She got penalized, whereas Xia Bohe got the opportunity to act in her place.”


You Xinji sat cross-legged on an embroidered round cushion. She held a cup of tea in her hands. There was a frown etched on her face.


“She is like a different person now. Not only could she memorize the lines, but she also managed to portray the character perfectly with all the right emotions. I was not able to make fun of her at all,” she said.


Sitting opposite of her was a girl with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a pearl hairband. She held up a mirror in her hand as she touched up her makeup. Her elegant, angled eyes were lined with eyeliner whereas faint, shimmery eyeshadow was dusted under her eyes. She looked elegant, delicate, and vibrant at the same time. One could almost say that she appeared flawless.


You Xinji looked at her enviously.


The Zhou family was a wealthy family within Jiang City. (TN: Possible typo by author, original RAW was 江氏 Jiang Clan.) In terms of prestige, they were just a rank below the Luo family.


Zhou Xiran was the only daughter of the Zhou family. The three brothers from the last generation of the Zhou family all had sons except Third Uncle Zhou, whose wife gave birth to the only daughter of the family. She was also the youngest child in the family.


She had been adored greatly by everyone since birth.


Zhou Xiran seemed to have inherited all the genes that conferred exceptional facial features within the Zhou family. Having grown prettier and prettier these few years, her looks resembled that of a customized doll. Almost everybody would gush over her flawless facial features. She had just the right amount of beauty. If she grew to be slightly prettier, she would appear coquettish, whereas if she was a little less pretty, she would not seem as gorgeous as she was right now.


“Ranran, I am sure the school will recommend her as an intern to one of the filming crews. I am planning to find someone to take her place,” she said.


Hearing her words, Zhou Xiran put down her mirror. Her full, pink lips curved into a sneer.


“Since it is a recommendation by the school, just let her go,” she said.


“But…” You Xinji hesitated, her brows furrowed.


“If she does not go, how will she know what kind of perils await her?” Zhou Xiran smirked.


You Xinji was slightly stunned, but she was quick to understand what she was implying. “Ranran, you mean to say that we should cause her trouble after she has entered a filming crew? We need to let her know that the world can be a scary, scary place!” she exclaimed.


Zhou Xiran nodded with a tight-lipped smile on her face. She then looked down to examine the shiny gemstones on her nails.


“I got it, I will think of something,” You Xinji said while nodding. “Since Xia Bohe is not on good terms with you, that means that she is not on good terms with me as well. I definitely will not let her go easily. Right, Mi Min…” she continued.


Zhou Xiran leisurely stance went still for a moment. Nevertheless, she quickly let out a light laugh.


“Add her into my close friends’ group chat. Let her join in our future activities,” she said.


“Sure, I will invite her into the group chat later!” You Xinji said, overjoyed.


Zhou Xiran had an illustrious status within the wealthy ladies’ peer group. Not anyone could be part of her exclusive social circle.


By attending events and participating in activities together with her, it was highly likely for one to be able to get to know and even catch the eyes of some young, talented, and handsome men.


Mi Min had wanted to be part of her social circle for a long time. She would be content despite having to be penalized if it meant that she could join Zhou Xiran’s exclusive social group!


Zhou Xiran nodded. “Do not disappoint me again. Otherwise, you will not be getting the role of the second female lead,” she said.


You Xinji was startled for a while. She then agreed at once, “Do not worry, Ranran!”


Zhou Xiran held her cup up to her lips and wet them. She lowered her eyes.


A line of words appeared before her.


[Previous Task: Let Xia Bohe take the blame for hooking up with a senior – Failed!]


[Punishment: A pimple would grow on the tip of your nose.]


“Clang!”


The expression on Zhou Xiran’s delicate, small face changed immediately. The white porcelain cup fell from her hands, the tea spilling all over her long dress.


“Ranran, did you get a burn?”


You Xinji got up to hand a tissue over to her at once. However, she was shocked when she raised her eyes to look at her.


“Ah! Ranran, there is a huge and very red pimple on your nose!” she shrieked.


“!!!”
