TWEHGC Chapter 23.2

Sun Shaoyi is an actor; she could tell at a glance that the waiter was hiding his guilt under his calmness. He must have known that there was something wrong with this glass of wine.

He hurried to the group of people in Ning Xibai’s crew and gave the glass of wine to their male lead.

Then…he looked at Ning Xibai?

Wait, did he look at Ning Xibai?

And shouldn’t this glass of wine be given to Ning Xibai?

Ning Luo sensed that something about this situation was going off track, and he tried hard to recall the original storyline.

[Something is wrong, something is wrong. Why would it be given to the male lead…shouldn’t it be given to Ning Xibai?]

[Let me think, what went wrong…]

Wang Lin didn’t expect that eating a melon would be so torturous, and he wanted to grab Ning Luo’s shoulders and shake him hard.

You should think about it quickly!

[Ah, I remember! No wonder!]

Ning Luo’s startled shouting scared Wang Lin so much that he shivered.

[It was Ning Xibai who drugged the wine! He had been dissatisfied with the male lead of their crew for a long time. This time, he wanted to take advantage of the large number of people at the dinner party to ruin his reputation, but the other party saw through it and drugged him back, which led to the following scene.]

[Little White Flower could not bear the humiliation and rose up to resist, but he got what he deserved and got Jiang Jiang niang niang. [mfn]1 .a euphemism for getting done/violated.[/mfn] The taste of the stupid beauty was there.]

Ning Yang’s eyebrows had been twitching from the beginning, and now he was even more surprised.

How many more ‘surprises’ does Ning Xibai have that he doesn’t know?

No, let’s wait and see; maybe Ning Luo remembered it wrong. Ning Yang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The melon-eating trio didn’t have so many concerns.

Sun Shaoyi whispered softly, “Serves him right.”

The other two nodded in agreement.

Ning Luo saw that not long after Ning Xibai drank the glass of wine, he covered his head and went to the restroom. Three minutes later, Jin Rong followed after him.

His eyes lit up, and he deliberately waited for a while before chasing after them.

Nothing else, he just wants to see how the three people will look like in the Shura field scene.

But he was stopped by Ning Yang: “Where are you going?”

“No time to explain,” Ning Luo said hurriedly, “I’m going to the station to do something.”

Ning Yang: “? What did you do?”

“I’m going to the restroom to solve a major life issue!”

Ning Luo had already run far away.

Wang Lin was quick-witted: “Oh, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.”

Shen Wenyu covered his stomach: “Me too; it seems that the lunch boxes in the crew are not clean.”

Sun Shaoyi didn’t even say a word and just followed Ning Luo directly.

“Hey, wait for us!”

After Ning Luo ran out, he was in a dilemma looking at the empty corridor.

“It’s over, I don’t know which restroom it is…”

Wang Lin was so anxious when he heard his muttering.

What? You don’t even know which restroom it is?

You know so much; how come you forgot the most important details!

[The location should be relatively remote; otherwise, how come no one came to watch the scene despite such a big commotion?]

Ning Luo was thinking hard when he turned around; he was faced with three impatient faces: “…”

He was puzzled: “Director Wang, why did you all follow me?”

Wang Lin used his universal excuse: “I have a stomachache.”

“Oh, then you guys go ahead,” Ning Luo made way, and seeing that they didn’t move, he urged, “Go quickly, the banquet is about to start soon.”

Wang Lin ended up lifting a rock only to smash his own foot. He walked into the restroom, looking back every few steps.

After being too far away, he couldn’t hear Ning Luo’s inner voice at all!

How could he eat melons first-hand like this!

Ning Luo searched for a while but couldn’t find the exact location. He regretted that he had no fate to eat this melon, and his eyebrows drooped.

Heart-chilling. The real chill of the heart is not making a big fuss. [mfn]2. This line means: When you are truly disheartened, you don’t even have the strength or desire to argue—you just quietly give up.[/mfn]

He turned to walk back, only to bump into Ning Yang, who had come to look for him and grabbed him in one go.

“What exactly are you looking for, Ning Xibai is in…” the restroom?

The last two words were washed away by a woman’s sudden scream.

Ning Yang’s face changed, and he pulled him towards the source of the sound.

By the time the two of them arrived, there was already a circle of people gathered around.

Ning Luo actually saw Chen Yan here.

Chen Yan stood at the entrance of the men’s restroom, with a look of disbelief on her face, and shouted: “Brother, how could you do such a thing!”

The crowd craned their necks to look inside, only to see three people tangled together in a mess. The floor was chaotic, and two of them had disheveled clothes—anyone could tell what had happened. One of them had his head covered by clothing, his face hidden, trembling all over.

“Is this a case of the boyfriend being caught cheating and having a fight with the mistress?”

Chen Chuanang’s face turned green and then red after hearing this, and he shouted at Chen Yan: “Shut up!”

[Then you are still thinking too shallowly. The two of them are just Ning Xibai’s sex friends at the moment. Ning Xibai is the main character of pure love and not fickle.]

Ning Yang recognized at a glance that it was Ning Xibai who was covering his head. His eyes went dark, and his blood pressure was full.

He had a heart attack when he heard Ning Luo’s words. What pure love? This is still called pure love? !

Wang Lin and others who rushed over thought the same thing.

Ning Luo tried to tiptoe and look into the crowd.

[After all, his heart was just broken into many petals, and each petal fell in love with a different person. The tip of his heart is full of people.]

Wang Lin’s mouth twitched.

To be able to stand so many people on his heart, what is he, a durian? Every spike stabs someone.

[Oh, why are you all so tall? I can’t see anything! I’m so anxious, anxious, I’m dying of urgency! I’m the King of Urgent!]

Ning Luo tried to pry open a little gap to see inside, but Ning Yang immediately covered his eyes and dragged him back.

Ning Yang’s face was livid, and his tone was stiff: “Don’t look, it’s too disgusting.”

“Brother, what are you doing?” Ning Luo struggled to get free, but to no avail.

Naturally, he didn’t see it either. Ning Yang’s eyes looking at Chen Chuan’ang and Ning Xibai were so cold that they could freeze water.

After being scolded, Chen Yan covered her mouth and cried, “Brother… You are the eldest son of the Chen family, how can you do such a ridiculous thing in the restroom, with others…!”

Ning Luo had reason to suspect that she would laugh out loud if she didn’t cover her mouth.

[At first, I was confused about why Chen Yan was here and revealed her brother’s identity. When I thought about her brother holding her and her mother’s lives in his hands, I understood that she wanted to drag Chen Chuan’ang into the water.]

Chen Chuan’ang’s forehead veins popped: “What nonsense are you talking about? I just came here!”

Someone listened to Chen Yan’s words, looked at Chen Chuan’ang’s face that had been punched several times, and recognized him.

“Isn’t this Chen Chuanang, who held a press conference to announce he will inherit the Chen family business a few days ago?”

“Look at the ones hugging each other; doesn’t he look like Jin Rong?”

“You’re right!”

“Who’s the one with the head covered?”

Ning Luo finally managed to pry Ning Yang’s hand off.

Ning Xibai listened to their discussions; his hands and feet were ice cold, and the blood in his body was flowing backwards. Even though he knew that they couldn’t recognize him because his head was covered, he was still shaking with fear, clinging tightly to Jin Rong’s arm.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way!”

Ning Luo saw the male lead running over.

[Wow, so exciting! A big show with five people!]

As soon as the male lead came in, he shouted to the two people huddled in the corner: “Director Jin, how could it be you? Next to you is… Xibai?”

Xibai? ?

Ning Xibai? ? ? ?

Everyone was in an uproar.

“Oh my God, it’s really him?!”

Ning Xibai’s heartbeat stopped instantly. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Jin Rong hugged him and looked at the male lead with a sinister look: “It’s not him.”

The male lead wanted to say something, but when he met Jin Rong’s eyes, a shiver ran down his spine, but resentment surged stronger than fear; he hated the two people even more.

He was obviously the male lead, but Ning Xibai was riding on his head. Not to mention, the script also drastically cut his role to give Ning Xibai a higher position. Why?

It’s not over after enduring it; the other party also wants to drug him and destroy him!

His palms were drenched in cold sweat, but he forced himself to speak with feigned calm: “Maybe I made a mistake. After all, the person who seduced Director Jin was wearing clothes that were too similar to Xibai’s clothes today.”

[What is the art of language? This is]

[Not only did he scold Ning Xibai in one sentence, but as long as someone is interested, they will go to see today’s red carpet photos. Once the outfit is compared, the truth about who this person is will be revealed.]

Ning Luo, in the middle of eating melon, felt his IQ go up a few points.

Wang Lin and others nodded repeatedly after listening.

That’s right, that’s it!

“If that’s true, then it means the actor and the director have a shady deal in private?”

“More than that, he’s also a kept actor with a sponsor!”

“Why did they do it in the restroom? Can’t wait to go home? Are you so desperate and thirsty?”

Before things could spiral even further, the security guards who heard the noise began to drive people back to the banquet hall, saying that the charity auction was about to start.

Everyone was driven out of the melon shed.

“So who is that person? What is the relationship between the three of them? Does anyone know? Did the two who came later really pass by or design this scene? This melon is so messy. It’s so frustrating that I can’t even understand it!”

After hearing this, Wang Lin proudly puffed his chest.

He knew, he knew everything; it felt so cool!

This is the peak of melon-eating life!

After they all left, the male lead came back and picked up a button-sized pinhole camera from the corner of the restroom.

The juicy gossip just now spread rapidly throughout the hall. Everyone was not interested in the auction anymore and whispered, “Fuck,” “Exciting,” and “Really?” One after another.

Once someone pointed out that Ning Xibai was likely to be one of the protagonists, they quietly looked around, and sure enough, they didn’t see Ning Xibai.

Some people also set their sights on Ning Yang. Who doesn’t know that Ning Xibai is Ning Yang’s younger brother? Whether this matter will spread or be swept under the rug depends on Ning Yang’s attitude.

Some people also noticed Ning Luo sitting next to Ning Yang.

“Hey, who is this person?”

“Ning Luo, a little black and red star with a bad reputation.”

“Oh, I remember that he has been trending on the hot search these days. But why is he sitting next to Ning Yang? Doesn’t he have a bad relationship with Ning Xibai?”

“You don’t know this,” Someone said in a low voice, “I heard that Ning Luo is the real young master of the Ning family, and Ning Xibai is just a fake phoenix that was taken by mistake.”

“Then he and Ning Xibai… there will be fun to watch.”

Ning Luo had originally wanted to go find the people from his own crew, but Ning Yang pulled him over to sit by his side.
