Should he laugh? When Su Yanyi told him jokes, she probably wanted him to laugh, right?
But should he really laugh? Jokes like these... under normal circumstances, it’s really hard for them to make him laugh.
However, watching Su Yanyi delivered such dull jokes with such a serious face, seemingly trying to amuse him, made Qin Jiran feel that this side of Su Yanyi was truly adorable.
So, Qin Jiran laughed, not at the jokes, but because of Su Yanyi. Her cute demeanor left him defenseless, his heart seemed to soften at that moment.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. One point added; your current point score is eight. Please continue to work hard!]
Upon hearing the System’s notification, Su Yanyi felt genuinely happy for the first time. Even though it was through telling somewhat silly jokes, at least it wasn’t a matter of embarrassing herself or acting cute. Su Yanyi felt a real sense of achievement.
Perhaps because she was in such a wonderful mood, a faint smile appeared on Su Yanyi’s face—subtle, yet exceedingly beautiful.
Two people, one smiling with warm indulgence, the other with a light and gentle charm, instantly brightened the entire study room.
"Yanyi..." Qin Jiran murmured uncontrollably, unable to resist the stunning Su Yanyi before him.
Beautiful, intelligent, proud, strong, and occasionally a bit cute and silly—this Su Yanyi allowed him to more clearly envision her image in his heart. At the same time, it ensured that this image would be indelibly etched there, never to be forgotten.
"You’re busy, I’ll leave now." Su Yanyi, in a cheerful mood, walked away. As she left, she couldn’t help thinking that this man looked really handsome when he smiled. Even if it wasn’t for completing tasks, she should try to make him smile more often.
Busy? Busy with what? Qin Jiran, dizzied by Su Yanyi’s smile, had completely forgotten about his work. He didn’t even care about Su Yanyi’s odd behavior anymore. All he could think about was her faint smile, almost instinctively thinking that it would be wonderful if he could make Yanyi smile so frequently in the future.
In the days that followed, Qin Jiran was busy with the affairs of the film crew. Since there was no intention of keeping it a secret, word started to spread in the industry about Qin Jiran forming a film crew, with many roles open for public audition. The news of Guo Zekai, the budding director, joining the crew was also released by Qin Jiran, immediately attracting more attention. Gradually, even people outside the industry learned about Qin Jiran’s new movie project.
With Guo Zekai and Qin Jiran being box-office guarantees, their participation significantly eased the box-office pressure on the other actors. This also meant that landing a role in the movie could significantly boost one’s acting career. As a result, many actors were trying everything possible to get into the crew.
Qin Jiran’s work phone was often handled by Jiang Xiaobin. These days, Jiang Xiaobin had been taking calls until his hand grew tired. Even Qin Jiran’s personal phone became busy. Some friends who were close to Qin Jiran also came knocking, and among them, the most difficult to deal with were those who wanted to play the lead actress.
In the entertainment circle, Qin Jiran knew many people, and a very small number of them could be called friends. However, good friends were few and far between, and among these, there were no women.
Maybe it was because he kept to himself, or maybe his standards were too high. In any case, no female actress could form any sort of relation with Qin, at most they had a previous professional collaboration. As for those who had been rumored to have affairs with Qin Jiran, he didn’t even consider them. Qin’s indifference did not mean those women were indifferent as well.
