Chapter 209 Teacher Chi, I Like You

In the dressing room.

The indoor lighting was soft yet bright, illuminating Sheng Ning's sharp, almond-shaped eyes.

Her eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, sharp as a knife, yet carrying a touch of languid allure.

At this moment, she had just removed her makeup from the previous scene and was leaning back in the large dressing chair, her long legs crossed and the tips of her high heels lightly touching the ground.

"Da da…"

"Da da…"

The sound stopped.

"what is this?"

Sheng Ning stubbed out her cigarette and looked at the milk tea her assistant was holding.

"Um... I came to visit the set this summer to give... to Sister Ning for you."

Sheng Ning paused for a moment, then after a few seconds, she reacted and waved her hand expressionlessly: "Take it away, throw it away...you drink it."

The assistant was taken aback, but knowing Sheng Ning's personality, she didn't waste any words and nodded: "...Okay, thank you, Sister Ning."

Sheng Ning did not reply.

The assistant, holding the milk tea, waited a while before secretly inserting the straw and taking a sip after seeing that Sister Ning wasn't paying attention.

"!!"

Instantly, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but spit it out with a "pfft".

Sheng Ning: “?”

"Cough cough... I... Sister Ning, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."

The assistant looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "This...this milk tea...is too...too...sweet..."

Sheng Ning glanced sideways: "How sweet?"

The assistant's face contorted in disbelief: "It feels...like they put in ten pounds of sugar..."

"Ah."

Sheng Ning suddenly sneered and curled her lip in disdain: "Childish."

The assistant didn't understand why she said that. Just as she was about to get up to rinse her mouth, she saw a tall, slender figure appear outside the door.

This summer, she blinked her peach blossom eyes and sneakily poked her little head in, locking her gaze on Sheng Ning at a glance.

"Um?!"

Sheng Ning's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she also saw Jin Xia.

“…Sheng Ning.”

This summer, upon seeing Sheng Ning's gaze, she paused, then walked in confidently, her beautiful peach blossom eyes smiling as she looked at Sheng Ning, and called out in a coquettish tone, "Hello, Sister Ning, hello, sister."

"!!"

"What did you call me?!"

Sheng Ning was stunned, looked up, and stared at Jin Xia in disbelief.

"Sister Ning, aren't you Teacher Chi's older sister?"

The old lady said matter-of-factly, her little face serious: "Teacher Chi's older sister is my older sister."

"..." Sheng Ning took a full ten seconds to regain control of her facial expression. After a long silence, she suddenly pointed to the door and said, "Get out."

Jin Xia: “?”

She stopped smiling and looked at Sheng Ning seriously: "Thank you for taking such good care of Teacher Chi back then."

Sheng Ning fell silent again.

"Furthermore," Jin Xia paused before continuing, "this project was invested in by Ikeno Studio, and I'm a major shareholder of Ikeno Studio, so..."

"Squeak."

Sheng Ning suddenly stood up.

This summer, she was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

"If you don't leave, I will."

This summer, she stared at her with a wronged expression: "Do you hate me that much?"

Sheng Ning turned around, stared at her for a long time with a scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly smiled: "Since you know about my relationship with Chi Ye, you should also know that I am still his only 'family' in this world... or you could call me his 'parent'."

Jin Xia was stunned.

Sheng Ning parted her red lips slightly, exhaling a wisp of smoke. Her phoenix eyes held a hint of a smile at this moment: "Maybe when you get married, you'll have to kowtow to me."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her captivating eyes: "Don't even think about it!"

"I won't kowtow."

Sheng Ning seemed to have found some magic formula, and shook her head with a tsk tsk: "Then it seems that you and Chi Ye haven't reached that point yet."

This summer, she pouted and said, "Whether it's reached that point or not is none of your business."

"Eh."

Sheng Ning continued, "I really have to say, as Chi Ye's 'parent,' I am familiar with your family situation..."

"There's only one old man left in the family, and he's getting old. The second generation is almost all useless. Your family's money... if the old man passes away peacefully in his old age... it won't be easy to protect the family fortune."

The old lady tilted her snow-white chin up and said, "Whether we can keep it or not is none of your concern. It's all between me and Teacher Chi."

"Why don't I need to worry about it?"

Sheng Ning became even happier, her face "serious": "Let me tell you, I have no plans to start a family or have children in this life, so... everything I have now will belong to Chi Ye in the future."

This summer, she raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

“My point is very simple: stop using your family to bully Chi Ye. He also has ‘relatives’ outside.”

"I didn't!! You're lying!"

If before, the Empress Dowager was just bickering with Sheng Ning about past grievances and showing off triumphantly.

Now, the Empress Dowager is truly anxious.

Because she actually cared a lot about this, even though she knew Sheng Ning was deliberately provoking her, she still pointed at Sheng Ning and shouted, "Sheng Ning, you old hag, don't talk nonsense! I've never done anything to Teacher Chi at home!"

"It's urgent. It's urgent."

Sheng Ning shook her head: "Fine, if you say no, then no..."

"..."

After a long while, she didn't receive a reply. She looked up and saw that Jin Xia had been looking down and stammering for a long time. Suddenly, she leaned in and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, from now on, Teacher Chi and I will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"

Sheng Ning was stunned.

"Hmph, sister." The old lady emphasized, "Sister, Sister Ning, dear sister, does this sound pleasant to you?"

Sheng Ning's face was ashen, and her whole body was visibly trembling.

Seeing that she was about to "lose control," the old lady quickly and cleverly turned and slipped away.

Before leaving, she called out to Sheng Ning in a sweet voice, "Sister, remember to drink milk tea! It's a sweet treat from Teacher Chi and me."

Bang!
Sheng Ning couldn't hold back and smashed a cup on the spot.

……

Chi Ye didn't pay much attention to the fact that the Empress Dowager wanted to see Sheng Ning.

Given their past relationship, it certainly won't end well.

But this time, he clearly miscalculated.

outside.

Just as Chino was discussing the details of the next scene with the director, he saw the old lady walk out happily and wave triumphantly when she saw him.

"They didn't start arguing?"

Chiye was surprised.

"No no."

Why are you so happy?

"My sister was so moved she cried."

"what?"

Chi Ye was dumbfounded: "Touched? Cried? Sheng Ning was moved to tears by you?"

He asked curiously, "What did you say to her? Someone like her cries?"

The Empress Dowager was very pleased with herself: "I told her that I wanted to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she died, and of course she was moved."

Chiye: "..."

"Then you are indeed a bit toxic, just like me."

"...Let's not talk about her anymore, Teacher Chi, don't you still have filming? Go film." "What about you?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you here. You can go ahead."

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Chi Ye didn't say much, escorted the old lady to her hotel room, and continued filming.

……

night.

After the film crew wrapped up, Ikeno returned to his room, only to find it quiet and completely still.

"What about people?"

Chi Ye looked puzzled and called out, "Xia Xia? Xia Xia!"

"Um... wait a minute, Teacher Chi, I'm here."

This summer's voice came from the bedroom—his bedroom!
Chino was taken aback, then walked over and opened the door.

"oops!"

Just as the old lady was about to put her things down, she exclaimed, instinctively clutching her chest: "You, you, you... didn't I tell you to wait? Why did you suddenly open the door?"

Chi Ye was stunned for two seconds by the old lady's actions.

Because at this moment, Jin Xia was only wearing a simple white tank top, and she was holding the Golden Melody Award trophy in her arms... no, not in her arms, but... trying to hold it on her chest.

#Shi Jin's Embrace Pose#
Is it really possible to put that many in?
Ikeno was stunned.

The old lady was stunned. Her face flushed red as she stared at Chi Ye for a long time before suddenly saying in a muffled voice, "I can do it too!"

Chino was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What can I do?"

“I can also ‘hug’ the trophy, I just don’t dress like that normally, so people don’t know.”

Seeing that Chi Ye hadn't gone out, the old lady finally let out all the emotions and feelings she had been holding back. She ran over and hugged Chi Ye's waist, looking up at him and saying, "Take me with you next time you receive an award."

Chino paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

"...I want to make a movie with you."

"I'll write the script for you."

"I also want you to celebrate my birthday with me."

"accompany."

"..." This summer, she buried her head in Chi Ye's arms and said, "Teacher Chi, I like you."

Chino froze, then looked down at her: "You..."

"do you like me?"

Chi Ye paused for a moment, then met those familiar peach blossom eyes: "I like you."

"..."

The night was as dark as ink, and the glow of neon lights outside the window shone through the gauze curtains, casting hazy, fragmented shadows on the carpet in the hotel room.

The air conditioner's gentle breeze couldn't dispel the lingering warmth in the air.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Chi Ye didn't understand why he was so nervous either. His voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of trepidation.

—Mingming, you were the one who told me first!
This summer, she bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she turned around and knelt down in front of him.

The distance between them suddenly shortened, so close that she could smell the familiar scent on Chi Ye, so close that she could see the fleeting surprise in his eyes.

Before he could react, she reached out and cupped his face, closed her eyes, and kissed him.

The moment their lips touched, Ikeno's breath hitched noticeably.

My eyes widened; I was completely dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected the Empress Dowager to be so "proactive".

Yes, he was always the one to take the initiative before, but this time, Jin Xia was exceptionally proactive, and Chi Ye could feel her deep affection and liking for him.

Her kiss was awkward yet firm, trembling slightly, like a tentative butterfly, gently pausing yet wanting to escape.

Almost instinctively, Ikeno reached out and grasped the back of her neck, his fingertips digging into her soft hair, locking her firmly between his lips and teeth.

"Hmm~"

This summer, she let out a soft "hmm" in pain, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around Chi Ye's collar, letting his breath invade every inch of her senses.

Ikeno's hand continued downwards.

"Teacher Chi, please... I... please celebrate my birthday with me, okay?"

This summer, her voice trembled as she went limp, burying her face in Chi Ye's neck, letting his kisses linger along her ear, his fair skin burning hot.

"..."

Chi Ye suddenly calmed down, looked at the frightened old lady, thought for a moment, and then said, "This is not good."

Jin Xia: “?!”

Ikeno's hand slid down the back of her neck, his fingertips gently tracing the curve of her back. Through the thin fabric, he could feel the temperature of her skin gradually rising.

This summer, I felt a slight chill, and my breathing became increasingly rapid.

Ikeno's kisses gradually moved downwards, landing on her slender collarbone, gently sucking and biting, leaving a faint red mark.

She tilted her head back, her fingers unconsciously running through his hair, a low whimper escaping her throat, like shyness, yet also like a silent invitation: "Teacher Chi...no, no, really no..."

Chino's voice was a little hoarse: "Now you know fear?"

"No, no, you didn't shower! You can't do this. You need to take a bath in the geothermal waters of Iceland's Blue Lagoon first, then use a Himalayan pink salt bath to detoxify and beautify your skin. And... why didn't you use the perfume I gave you?"

Ikeno was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

This summer, she angrily said, "That bottle has a base note of cedarwood mixed with white musk, which is perfect for smelling when kissing... You only smell like shower gel now, which is not romantic enough!"

Chi Ye paused for at least five seconds before slowly standing up: "Wait a minute, let me check if I brought it..."

"You wait first."

This summer, she called out to him, "...I suddenly want strawberry ice cream, the Hokkaido milk kind, right now!"

Ikeno: "...Don't go too far."

"Teacher Chi, you can't even handle this? I... this is just the beginning..."

The old lady said with a wronged expression, "How are we supposed to live like this? You...you have no patience at all!"

Chi Ye was silent for a moment, then saw the cunning in the depths of her eyes. After a pause, he said, "I feel unwell."

Jin Xia was taken aback: "Feeling unwell?"

"...I feel so uncomfortable."

The old lady glanced down, her face flushed, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Wait a minute, let me help you... I need to take a bath, and I need to put honey water on my hands... in a sterile environment..."

Chi Ye's eyelids twitched as he listened, and he suddenly stood up: "It's okay, I won't hold it in anymore."

"what?"

"I'm really not holding it in anymore."

If he holds it in any longer, he'll be treated like food and "made".

That's fucking terrifying, what kind of weird fetishes are these?
……

That night, after gaining a preliminary understanding of the "more authentic" side of the old lady, Ikeno tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

He knew he had acted impulsively today. After all, the Empress Dowager had just "confessed" to him, and his hurried manner was not only unappealing to the Empress Dowager, a master of affectation, but he himself also felt that something was missing.

But... it's okay.

And birthdays.

Last year, when the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday, it coincided with the premiere of "Loop," so it was a very rushed time.

This year, we lost "Loop," but gained "Big Boss."

I took a day off this summer to come here, partly to celebrate my birthday, but more importantly…

Teacher Chi had promised her that he would "make up" for her birthday.

However, because of the importance of "Big Boss" to Ikeno's career, he couldn't abandon the publicity to play along with her.

and so…

This summer I decided to come and watch the first movie starring Chi Ye with him.

……

In early June, as the weather warmed up, Chi Ye officially began promoting "The Boss".

Meanwhile, the roadshow preparations and promotion for "The Fortress of Shanghai" have also begun in full swing.

The final trailer for Sheng Ning's only new movie released this year, which she filmed last year, has been released.

The entire summer season gradually became hot and humid as the weather warmed up.
