The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 362

[Qin Wei] laughed as she supported [Qiao Sixiao] back to the bedroom, carefully laying her down on the bed. Just as she was about to stand up, [Qiao Sixiao] hooked her neck with one hand. Caught off guard, [Qin Wei] stumbled and fell into her arms, then was hugged tightly by the other party.

[Qin Wei] revealed a sly smile. She exerted force to one side with her body, hugging [Qiao Sixiao] as they switched positions. Looking down at her, eyes intoxicated.

"You're not drunk?"

[Qiao Sixiao] asked her.

As the other party spoke, her hair brushed over [Qiao Sixiao's] face, making it itchy. But with both hands pinned down, she couldn't move.

"I'm drunk now..."

[Qin Wei's] lips touched her ear, her voice was soft as silk, but left a brand in someone's heart.

[Various comments anticipating more story]

...

After [Qiao Sixiao] closed the bedroom door, she turned on the light and saw [Qin Wei] looking at her in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

As she spoke, her eyes were clear and she stood steadily without support.

She didn't seem drunk at all.

But that alcohol-infused jelly...

[Qiao Sixiao] hadn't eaten it before but knew that it was generally used to make cocktails at bars, with high alcohol concentration. [Daniel] had only eaten three pieces just now, but was already a bit drunk.

[Qiao Sixiao] tentatively asked her:

"Ms. Qin, do you have anything to say to me?" 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂

[Qin Wei] looked at her, emotions in her eyes becoming inscrutable:

"Ms. Qiao, remember to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow..."

"You're not drunk?"

"Um~"

[Qin Wei] nodded,

"There was alcohol in the broken jelly, I didn't get to spit it out in time and swallowed half a piece, didn't eat the other half and threw it on the table."

"Then how come you..."

"How come I'm not blackout drunk, right?"

[Qin Wei] raised the corners of her lips,

"Although I'm not an ever-sober drunkard, half a glass of wine wouldn't knock me over either. I hate the taste of alcohol and hangovers too, I'm a bit tipsy now, but I still know what I'm doing, not the type to go crazy after one sip..."

[Qiao Sixiao] blurted out: "Then what was going on just now?"

"I was pretending.

I was just curious why I bothered you so much the other day that when you heard I drank alcohol today, you got so nervous?"

Seeing [Qiao Sixiao's] indescribably complicated expression, [Qin Wei] licked her lips. The alcohol was hitting hard now. Although not blackout drunk, she also felt a bit of a headache and dry mouth.

Seeing that she didn't speak, [Qin Wei] didn't press further. She opened the bottled water on the table and took a sip, the dry heat in her throat eased slightly.

It was rare to see her like this. [Qin Wei] found it very interesting, but didn't dare provoke her too much either. Of all the people she knew, [Qiao Sixiao] was the quickest to flip her attitude, and the most difficult to coax when angry.

Her joke had worked, seeing [Qiao Sixiao] at a loss for that instant was enough. Knowing to quit while ahead, [Qin Wei] put down the bottled water and said to her:

"Alright, if you won't say then don't say. I..."

"It was just the livestream earlier. I was afraid you'd embarrass yourself in front of the camera and negatively impact promoting the new drama. That's all. Take it as me being too kindhearted and getting burned."

She seemed a bit angry again...

[Qin Wei] took the initiative to talk to her, but the other party lay in bed with her back facing her, not saying a word.

An hour passed.

Perhaps it was the alcohol making her restless that [Qin Wei] tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. She started speaking softly:

"Sis Si, did you turn off all the lights at home when you went out..."

[Qiao Sixiao] still had her back facing her, not saying a word.

[Qin Wei] didn't mind, continuing on her own:

"Sis Si, the oxygen pump in my fish tank can't be turned off, the fish will die..."

As expected, no response.

"I think I didn't turn off the coffee maker when I went out in the morning..."

"Did I close my bedroom window..."

[Qin Wei] gently tapped her back with a finger:

"You won't even respond to me sis Si...have you fallen asleep, fallen asleep, fallen asleep..."

Seeing she still didn't react, [Qin Wei] gave up. Pulling up the blanket, she turned over to sleep.

In the dark, [Qiao Sixiao] opened her eyes.

...

[Xiao Wang's Diary: Have you had the experience of standing alone in an over 600 square foot flat around midnight? I have. At that moment, I felt like the whole world was mine.

Standing on the balcony and looking up at the starry sky through the floor-to-ceiling windows, smelling the fragrance of jasmine, it’s easy to forget that I only came to confirm whether my sister had turned off the lights and closed the windows and coffee maker at her place, and whether the fish were still alive...

As for the specific reason? I don’t know. My sister told me that if I didn’t go confirm these things, she wouldn’t be able to sleep the whole night, so I came.

The noisy midnight wind. After leaving the high-end residential area, I was no longer sleepy. I called [Li Liang], what a coincidence she hadn't fallen asleep either. We agreed to go out for barbecue. She readily agreed.

The two of us sat at the barbecue stall. As she ate grilled pork belly, she cried. I was very moved and asked her what was wrong, was work pressure too much?

She said no. Earlier at work her silly sweet sister found out she had secretly joined a cp fans support group. She was too busy then to settle accounts, but now she felt her job was very unstable.

After hearing this, I cried too. Your silly sweet sister really is silly and sweet.

The two of us cried with barbecue skewers in hand, but neither of us brought up resignation.

Although the job requires being on standby 24/7, it’s too good to give up. It provides lodging, meals, high bonuses, and the highest salary in the industry. The two of us not only took on a salary higher than what we should have at our age, but also got to see good-looking brothers and sisters every day. Others spend money chasing stars while we get paid to chase... The reason we cried was because we were afraid to lose this...

I told [Li Liang] that when under pressure, one can write in a diary. This was taught by a master. Pressure must have an outlet.

She refused when I suggested subtly complaining about her sister in her diary. I thought it was because she had deep affection for that silly sweet chick, but no. She said it was because complaints were endless.

I didn't realize I had written so much. It's because I've felt too much these days. [Li Liang] told me not to write her in my diary, just in case it got exposed one day. She hoped that if someone lost their job, it would only be me.

So I won't.]

Early morning, sunshine coming in through the curtains into the bedroom. [Qiao Sixiao] opened her eyes, only she remained in the room.

Glancing at the time, it was 7:30 in the morning. She simply washed up and walked out of the room with her hair down. The cameras in the living room had already started running. She went up to the screen to check the livestream - unexpectedly, the viewer count had already broken 100 million this early in the morning.

"Don't you all have to work..."

[Little Qiao can go back to rest!! Silly goose went out for morning jog and will be back soon!]

[I got up at 5:30 to squat the livestream, didn't expect to watch [Su Yang] and [Qin Wei] jog for over an hour]

[Mainly the camera guy is awesome, lugging the camera with a limp and keeping up the filming for over an hour]

[Cameraman awesome! Won't stop filming until off work! Must get crew's outstanding contribution award!]

Speaking of which, [Qin Wei] and [Su Yang] returned from their jog outside.
