"Li Xingwan said so much, but it seemed like all she heard was that one sentence, "He told me he quite likes me...""
"Yes... he also said that when he was young, it was just an acting relationship between them. And those variety show shenanigans, it was all just for the program, to draw in viewership. He told me not to overthink it and not to take it seriously," she added.
That last sentence pierced Wu Qianqing's composure, causing her face to change swiftly.
Only then did Li Xingwan tell the truth. "I was just kidding. Think about it, could Zheng Best Actor possibly say those things? And would he resort to gimmicks for a show's effect? Or to attract attention, telling 'me' not to overthink it, not to take it seriously?"
"Reminding me not to catch a cold, to take care of myself? Or which clothes suit 'me' best?"
Li Xingwan was on the verge of saying 'What am I, chopped liver?'
Wu Qianqing: "..."
