Wu Qianqing was so breathless from his kiss that she responded without even thinking. Her mind was completely dazed, and she wasn’t aware of what she was doing.
All she knew was that she had responded instinctively.
Hearing her response and consent, Zheng Shaosu kissed her even deeper.
It wasn’t until she couldn’t help but make a noise that Wu Qianqing suddenly turned her head, causing Zheng Shaosu, who wanted to continue kissing, to kiss the air instead.
Both were panting, their chests heaving with each breath.
"Are you okay?" Zheng Shaosu asked.
Wu Qianqing turned to look at him. "Okay with what?"
Her face was beet red.
She immediately let go of Zheng Shaosu’s waist. Fortunately, he was propping himself up with his hands behind her, so Wu Qianqing was able to slip out from under his arm and hurriedly walked to the hall.
Zheng Shaosu watched her go and let out a laugh.
When Wu Qianqing got back to the hall, everyone was waiting for her, including Li Xingwan, who had also returned to the hall earlier.
But when they saw her, they felt something was slightly off.
"Best Actress Wu, what happened to your lip?" Jiang Best Actress asked. "It seems to be broken."
Wu Qianqing had already felt a bit of pain. She touched her lip and saw blood. It was because Zheng Shaosu had kissed her too forcefully.
He still had that same possessiveness when he kissed her, just like back when they were younger.
"It’s... it’s nothing." Wu Qianqing quickly spoke, maintaining a composed demeanor. "I just bumped into the tea server outside. The tea was a bit hot, and the cup was somewhat damaged. I accidentally cut myself and bled."
"Ah? Are you alright?" Qi Yue promptly asked. "How can the staff be so careless? They even use broken cups?"
"But why do I feel like it doesn’t look like it’s from a cup?" Li Best Actress suddenly spoke up, staring closely at Wu Qianqing’s lips.
Wu Qianqing was really afraid she would say something in front of the camera, given that Li Best Actress was so straightforward.
She is someone who speaks her mind!
Just then, Zheng Shaosu came in from behind her and spoke. "She really did burn herself with the water. At her age, she still isn’t careful enough."
All the viewers in the live stream: "!!!"
How come they detected a note of pampering in his voice?
And, how did Zheng Best Actor know that Wu Qianqing burned herself with hot water?
"Suddenly, I feel like Zheng Best Actor really dotes on Wu Best Actress. What should I do?"
"Look at how he speaks and his expression when he says it. At her age, she still isn’t careful enough."
"Doesn’t it have the flavor of a young couple, folks?"
"Which young couple can compare to the pampering by Zheng Best Actor?"
Wu Qianqing turned to glance at him. That look might have been a glare, or perhaps something else, but whatever it was, she quickly averted her gaze and took a seat.
At that moment, Zheng Shaosu walked over and poured her another cup.
"So that’s what happened," Li Best Actress echoed in agreement at her end.
"But why do I feel like what’s on Best Actress Wu’s mouth looks like it’s from a kiss?"
Silent comments began to pop up below.
"No way? You’re overthinking it. Just now, wasn’t Best Actress Wu with Zheng Best Actor?"
All the people below: "..."
The air fell silent for a moment.
Anyway, everyone felt they wouldn’t kiss that quickly.
Just then, the cleaning staff captured a photo. She was so pressed for time and nervous that she suddenly saw Zheng Best Actor and Wu Best Actress kissing.
So she hastily took a picture and now passed it to the production team.
