Chapter 168 Taking Off Clothes

Liu Shishi rented an apartment in the Second Ring Road area. It was her private little nest, and even her agent had never been there.

The exposure of celebrities in this era was not comparable to that of later generations. After all, smartphones were not yet fully widespread, and there weren't as many paparazzi following them around.

Moreover, Liu Shishi's "Scarlet Heart" had only been airing for a short time at that time, and she became famous overnight because of this drama, but she obviously did not have that much fame yet.

In contrast, Luo Ning is currently more well-known, so she always goes out fully armed.

Jiang Xun noticed that the two women didn't seem sleepy at all, and didn't seem to find anything wrong with bringing him, a stranger they weren't very familiar with, home.

It looks like he's had a few drinks and is currently in a rather excited state.

The usually quiet Liu Shishi became lively, cheerful and smiling, revealing two small dimples when she smiled. Luo Ning, who was always aloof and silent, also seemed to become more talkative.

Upon arriving at Liu Shishi's home, Jiang Xun discovered that the home of this future superstar was much simpler than he had imagined.

It's like a small, ordinary family home, decorated warmly with a touch of artistic flair, just like Liu Shishi's own temperament.

"Please make yourselves at home. I'm going to change my clothes first; I reek of alcohol." After entering the room, Liu Shishi greeted Jiang Xun and the other person and then prepared to go back to her room to change.

"I need to change too, Senior Sister, can you find me one of your pajamas?" Luo Ning quickly followed.

Jiang Xun was left in the living room by the two women and could only casually observe the furnishings in the house, discovering that there were photos of Liu Shishi in many places.

There are photos of her dancing ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy, photos of her as Long Kui from the TV series "Chinese Paladin", and photos of her graduation gown.

As a child, Liu Shishi was quite cute, with a round, chubby face and baby fat on her cheeks. When she smiled, she looked like a little squirrel.

Just as Jiang Xun was admiring Xiao Shishi, Liu Shishi came out of the bedroom after changing her clothes. Seeing Jiang Xun staring at the photo of her dancing ballet, she blushed and ran forward to snatch the photo away.

"Don't look!" Liu Shishi shyly hugged the photo to her chest, staring at Jiang Xun with her big, watery eyes.

"What's wrong with looking at this? You're dressed so conservatively," Jiang Xun said with a light laugh.

"You're not allowed to look!" Liu Shishi said, blushing. "I wasn't pretty when I was little; I was too fat."

"Isn't this pretty? Are you trying to kill the other girls?" Jiang Xun rolled her eyes at her, speechless.

Liu Shishi felt inexplicably happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She was a little afraid to meet Jiang Xun's deep eyes, so she quickly turned and walked towards the refrigerator, saying sweetly as she went:
"Don't look around! I'll get you a drink. What would you like?"

"Mineral water is fine," Jiang Xun replied casually.

Only then did he take a closer look at Liu Shishi after she changed her clothes. At home, she dressed casually, wearing only a loose silk top and white trousers.

Although she is only about 165 cm tall, she has a great figure and good proportions. In addition, as a fellow dancer, she has a very proper posture and looks slender and graceful.

Moreover, she always possesses an indescribable charm, with a touch of artistic flair and a captivating allure. It's no wonder she stands out in the entertainment industry, where beauties abound.

While Jiang Xun and Liu Shishi were chatting idly, Luo Ning came out after changing her clothes. Perhaps Liu Shishi didn't have any extra pajamas, so she found her a loose white shirt to wear.

The moment she stepped out, Jiang Xun's eyes lit up. For men, a woman wearing a loose shirt and shorts is extremely attractive.

Especially striking were Luo Ning's long, shapely, and straight legs, so fair and delicate that one couldn't help but want to touch them. Perhaps sensing Jiang Xun's gaze, a hint of shyness flashed across Luo Ning's cool and refined face. She walked to Liu Shishi's side and casually asked:
Do you have any alcohol at home?

"Huh? Still drinking?" Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment. She still felt her cheeks burning. Although it was champagne, she was already a little tipsy, even though she rarely drank alcohol.

"I want to drink tonight. If you don't have any, I'll go buy some," Luo Ning said casually, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait, there seems to be some red wine, I'll go get it." Liu Shishi quickly called out to Luo Ning and turned to walk towards the guest room next door.

Luo Ning turned her head and met Jiang Xun's somewhat strange gaze. Her expression was a little unnatural, and she snorted softly:
"What, can't I have a drink?"

"Sure, I'm not your dad, why should I care about these things?" Jiang Xun replied with a smile.

Luo Ning glared at him, then asked, "Have you sold the copyright to 'As You Wish'?"

"No, what, are you still eyeing that song?" Jiang Xun looked at her with a half-smile.

“Who wouldn’t want to have their own signature song? Anyway, I really like your song,” Luo Ning replied truthfully.

“Don’t you have many representative works? Like ‘So Young’ and the like,” Jiang Xun said.

“It’s different.” Luo Ning shook her head. “My songs are too petty. Your song is more meaningful and can be liked and sung by more people.”

Jiang Xun nodded, agreeing with her statement, and then asked:

"Did your company try to get you a spot on the Spring Festival Gala? What was the result?"

“There’s no hope.” Luo Ning sighed. “I’m currently negotiating with the company to terminate my contract, and there probably won’t be any good resources for me in the future.”

"Terminate the contract?!" Before Jiang Xun could speak, Liu Shishi, who came out with a glass of red wine, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Luo Luo, why did you terminate your contract with the company? There's still a long time before it expires!"

Luo Ning seemed hesitant to speak, as if she didn't want to discuss the matter. At this moment, Jiang Xun spoke up:
"Let's chat and drink for a bit, I'm going out to buy some food."

At that time, the food delivery industry had not yet developed and was in its infancy. You could only order food by phone, but you had to know the restaurant's phone number.

Jiang Xun went out and got some barbecue and crayfish. When he returned to Liu Shishi's house, it was almost one o'clock, but the two women were wide awake and chatting happily.

"Wow! Crayfish! I love to eat them!" Liu Shishi's eyes lit up when she saw the food in Jiang Xun's hand. It seems she's a foodie too.

Luo Ning seemed to be a little hungry at this moment, and eagerly took the things from Jiang Xun's hands and helped open them.

The three of them drank red wine and ate grilled crayfish. Although the combination was a bit strange, they enjoyed their meal very much.

In their excitement, they unknowingly finished two bottles of red wine. Although red wine is not so easy to get drunk on, the problem was that Liu Shishi and Luo Ning were already slightly tipsy before.

At this moment, both Liu Shishi and Luo Ning had flushed faces, dazed eyes, and were somewhat incoherent in their speech.

"Ugh~ It's so hot. Is the air conditioning on too high?" Liu Shishi touched her burning cheeks and mumbled.

As she spoke, she unbuttoned the buttons on her shirt and took off her clothes...
