Lin Yiqian was taking on two voice-over roles in an animated film set to be released next year in America. There was not much time left to prepare and she needed to familiarize herself with the script very soon.
She carefully placed a cup of coffee and a plate of fruits on her table before she sat down with a thick layer of scripts. Without a moment’s hesitation, she flipped to the page where she last stopped.
The animated film was based on a novel from a well-known writer. Lin Yiqian had already read the novel and knew the storyline and the personalities of the characters very well. The female protagonist possessed an ability to control another person’s mind within a short span of time, which was what she often did to flirt with handsome men.
Her ability would usually work on most men. However, the one person it did not work on was the male protagonist. The more she failed at manipulating him, the harder she tried. The entire story was hilarious yet touching at the same time.
Lin Yiqian had fallen in love with the character of the female protagonist. Whenever the female protagonist saw someone she liked, she would attempt to flirt with him. Lin Yiqian wondered what it would be like to be the female protagonist.
As Lin Yiqian continued to read the script, it was at the point when the female protagonist was meeting the male protagonist for the second time. She immediately started using her special ability on the male protagonist. Lin Yiqian read the lines over and over again.
As she truly liked the story, she could not stop herself from speaking the lines out loud.
Lin Yiqian put the script down as she stood up and imagined the proud male’s face in front of her. She pictured him wearing a white basketball uniform. He had just finished playing basketball and there were still drops of sweat on his face. He had a cool aura about him.
The corners of Lin Yiqian’s mouth lifted as she quickly got into her imagined persona. “Come over here to your queen. Let me indulge in your beauty and your body…”
“Don’t be scared, baby.”
As Gu Nianshen opened the door, he heard a strange woman’s voice. He furrowed his brows as he quickly walked over to the bedroom.
He could see that Lin Yiqian was standing in front of the desk with her hand above her head as she made a tantalizing gesture. Gu Nianshen could not help but smirk.
“Are you charmed by my beauty?”
Lin Yiqian raised her other hand as she drew a line across her face with a finger. Slowly, she opened her eyes.
To her surprise, a familiar man’s figure was in her line of sight. She immediately turned her head around to see him leaning casually against the frame of the door.
He was looking at her as if she were a pervert.
Lin Yiqian froze with her mouth ajar.
This… This fellow had walked into her room without making a sound. She thought he would have gone to the apartment already.
The two looked at each other for a while before Gu Nianshen finally broke the ice. “I’ll get in touch with Qi Wuyue. His uncle should still have a vacant bed.”
As Gu Nianshen spoke, he walked toward the dressing room.
Qi Wuyue’s uncle was the hospital dean of The Fourth in Shanghai. Everyone knew that The Fourth was an asylum.
Was he calling her a psycho?
Damn!
Lin Yiqian clenched her hands to form fists as she followed Gu Nianshen into the dressing room. “I was reading a good novel and got way too involved.”
‘You are the crazy one. Your entire family is crazy.’
Gu Nianshen ignored her as he continued to walk into the dressing room. As he opened the wardrobe, he was temporarily stunned by what he saw.
Amongst his many white shirts, there were two pieces of female skirts which stood out with their bright colors.
He felt a certain warmth in his heart.
Lin Yiqian noticed that Gu Nianshen had become awfully still in front of the wardrobe. His gaze seemed to be fixed on the two new skirts she had just bought. She wondered if he was upset that she had left her clothes in his wardrobe.
