“There’s a singing competition in Nan City recently, and I’ve been invited to be a judge.”
Fang Ruoyan took off her large-framed sunglasses, placing them on the table. Then, she picked up a paper cup with one hand and sipped some warm water.
It had been several years, but Qin Ling, this little girl, had become even more beautiful.
Those breasts, that butt…
This tight-fitting yoga outfit was truly alluring.
She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen many female stars.
But she had never seen anyone more beautiful than Qin Ling.
Moreover, she was comparing her to Qin Ling from her university days.
Now, Qin Ling… not to mention her face, just her aloof and unapproachable aura alone would probably outshine a host of female stars.
“So?” Qin Ling raised an eyebrow. “What’s the purpose of you showing up at my place in the middle of the night?”
“I have nowhere to stay, and I want to stay here for a while.”
“You have nowhere to stay?” Qin Ling clearly didn’t believe her.
Fang Ruoyan smiled. “I missed you, didn’t I? It’s been so long since we last saw each other. I’m coming here to stay with you, to repair our lost friendship.”
Qin Ling: “Find someone else. I have to work.”
Fang Ruoyan: “I can’t find anyone else, that’s why I came to you.”
Qin Ling: “Find Lin Yao.”
Fang Ruoyan: “She lives with her parents.”
Qin Ling: “Liu Rong.”
“Don’t mention her!” Fang Ruoyan became angry at the mention of that name. “That woman is keeping a male university student, living it up. I wouldn’t dare disturb her.”
“A male university student? Keeping him?”
Qin Ling thought of something, her brows furrowed slightly.
“Yes!” Fang Ruoyan became more and more excited. “You guys don’t know this yet, right? Liu Rong probably thinks she’s hiding it well, but unfortunately, the guy she’s keeping is a trainee I met on a show before. Tsk tsk, only twenty years old, hasn’t even graduated from university yet, a muscular fitness guy, he must have great stamina. Liu Rong, this old cow eating young grass… Lingling, tell me, isn’t she a beast?”
Qin Ling strongly disagreed with her statement, retorting, “What if it’s consensual…”
“Consensual?” Fang Ruoyan laughed immediately. “Didn’t I tell you, it’s keeping a lover. Liu Rong pays the money, and the male university student sells his body. It’s basically the same as prostitution, except that keeping a lover is a long-term relationship, a bespoke service for the rich.”
Qin Ling frowned. “How much money did Liu Rong give him?”
“How would I know? But it shouldn’t be less than this amount per month.” Fang Ruoyan slowly extended two fingers.
Qin Ling’s eyes twitched. “Two thousand?”
“No…” Fang Ruoyan was speechless. “At least guess twenty thousand. Liu Rong is keeping a star after all, although she’s an unknown eighteenth-tier star.”
Qin Ling took another sip of her ginger tea and said, “So your company didn’t arrange accommodation for you? The program organizers didn’t arrange accommodation for you?”
“They did…” Fang Ruoyan looked reluctant. “But I don’t want to stay in a hotel. I’m back in Nan City now, of course I want to stay with my best friend.”
After speaking, Fang Ruoyan continued to act coquettishly. “Oh, Lingling, please, just let me stay for a while. I’m very diligent, I can cook, mop the floor, do housework, I definitely won’t cause you any trouble…”
“……” Qin Ling pondered.
Seeing this, Fang Ruoyan immediately stood up, sat down beside Qin Ling, shook her arm, and continued to act coquettishly. “Please, Lingling, you’re the most beautiful, the most gentle, the most beautiful…”
“Alright, shut up, go choose a room.” Qin Ling couldn’t take it anymore and pulled back her hand.
“Hehe~”
Fang Ruoyan happily ran to the bedroom.
Then she chose a spare bedroom diagonally opposite Qin Ling’s bedroom.
“I’ll take this one.” Fang Ruoyan said, then pushed open the door and went inside.
Qin Ling saw the bedroom she chose, immediately stood up and followed her in. “No, choose another one.”
“Why?” Fang Ruoyan asked in confusion, then looked at the neatly folded towels on the bed and fell into deep thought…
“Qin Ling, this room… you wouldn’t be hiding a man, would you!?” Fang Ruoyan thought it was more and more likely. She didn’t believe Qin Ling could fold the towels like that.
“No.” Qin Ling shook her head. “My cousin came to stay at my place for two days.”
“Cousin?” Fang Ruoyan carefully observed Qin Ling’s expression. “Your cousin folds towels like this?”
“She just finished military training.”
“How old is your cousin?”
“18”
“Which school?”
“Mingxian Conservatory of Music.”
“What major?”
“Ask again and you’re out.” Qin Ling said unceremoniously.
Fang Ruoyan immediately fell silent, giggling. “Okay, Miss Qin, I won’t ask. Next time you see your cousin, remember to say hello to her for me.”
“Mm.”
“……”
Fang Ruoyan had to choose another bedroom.
Past eight o’clock in the evening.
The rarely cooking Fang Xiaotianhou, seeing the ingredients in Qin Ling’s refrigerator, immediately felt the urge to cook.
She spent half an hour stir-frying a dish of spicy shredded potatoes.
Then she brought this carefully cooked shredded potatoes to Qin Ling, handed her the chopsticks, and invited her to taste it.
Qin Ling didn’t refuse, picked up the chopsticks, and took a small bite.
The shredded potatoes entered her mouth, lightly chewed.
“How is it, how is it?” Fang Ruoyan asked expectantly.
Qin Ling still had that icy expression, making it impossible to tell from her expression whether it was delicious or not.
“It’s alright.” Qin Ling put down her chopsticks.
Fang Ruoyan’s spicy shredded potatoes were really just average.
It couldn’t compare to what Jiang Yichen made at noon.
Jiang Yichen’s spicy shredded potatoes had distinct layers of flavor, the crispness of the potatoes, then the sour and spicy taste spreading in the mouth. It seemed that he had considered her preference for sour food, the sourness was quite strong. She hadn’t eaten much of the stir-fried pork at noon, she had eaten all the spicy shredded potatoes.
As for Fang Ruoyan’s… she ate it, and it was indescribable. In short, it was far inferior to Jiang Yichen’s.
“Oops!” Fang Ruoyan reacted belatedly. “I forgot to add more vinegar. Lingling, wait a minute, I’ll be right back!”
When Fang Ruoyan returned with the shredded potatoes, Qin Ling had lost her interest in trying them.
Fang Ruoyan wanted to show off her cooking skills: “Don’t, Qin Ling, I made this specially for you, you should at least eat a few more bites.”
Qin Ling shook her head.
She suddenly remembered what happened at noon…
She asked, “Do you know me well?”
Jiang Yichen answered in her manner, “Generally.”
How well is “generally”?
Qin Ling didn’t know, but she could be sure that Jiang Yichen knew her better than her best friend…
“Oh no! I forgot to add cilantro again!” Fang Ruoyan lamented.
