Chapter 347 Not Dating, What a Jerk
"How could I have fallen for such a jerk?"

As the treasonous theme song suddenly played in the TV series, Tian Xinwei couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her mind.

However, she quickly found a self-consistent solution: Being a jerk doesn't seem so bad; as long as she doesn't date him, everything else is pretty good...
With that in mind, Tian Xinwei began to scrutinize Chen Xiu.

He's around 185cm tall, looks that fit my aesthetic, rich and smart, career-oriented, and his shoulders are so broad... Holy crap! What am I even swooning over?!

Tian Xinwei cursed herself inwardly, trying to clear her head. As she looked away, she caught a glimpse of the content on the TV screen.

After revealing his true form, Reiner immediately unwrapped his bandages and used the power of the Titan to instantly heal his wounds.

Bertholdt shouted, "Reiner, are you going to do it? Right now, right here?"

The content displayed in the subtitles is unclear; it's unclear which translation team did the work...

These words, when spoken to Tian Xinwei, inevitably sparked her imagination.

Clutching the beer can in his hand, Xiaotian thought: Since I'm already here, it would be strange to go back like this. Why not treat him as a casual sex partner? That way, I won't have to take responsibility after we sleep together.

Watching Tian Xinwei, who had been performing her face-changing act since the beginning, Chen Xiu wondered to herself: Why is she squeezing a beer can? Did she run into a moral guardian? Is she trying to beat me up?
As Chen Xiu saw Tian Xinwei's expression gradually harden, she silently increased the distance between them.

After a struggle with her thoughts, Tian Xinwei finally made up her mind. She took a deep breath and squeezed the beer can so hard that it crumpled with a creak.

She looked up and glanced to her side, her face suddenly showing surprise: "Hey? Why are you standing so far away?"

Following the gaze, Chen Xiu had already sat down at the other end of the sofa, with enough space between the two of them to fit three people.

Chen Xiu shrugged and said, "I sensed that you were feeling rather complicated and intense just now. To prevent any rash actions, we need to maintain a safe distance."

"Tch! Hey, you're my boss, a grown man, why are you being so cautious?"

"How should I put it? If you suddenly pounce on me, it's very difficult to control the force I use without hurting you, so you understand..."

Chen Xiu smiled helplessly. His muscle strength and reflexes were equivalent to those of a top track and field athlete.

If Tian Xinwei suddenly pounces on him, his instinctive counterattack might actually hurt this cute girl with big eyes.

However, when Tian Xinwei heard these words, she took them as a common trick boys use to show off, and then smacked her lips in disdain.

"Hey boss, your advantages are your money and your looks. Some people might like your cunning personality, but I doubt anyone cares about your muscles or strength. They're not your selling points, so why are you bragging about them?"

"You can think of it that way too."

Chen Xiu didn't explain to Tian Xinwei. After taking a sip of beer, she started to tell Tian Xinwei to leave.

"I want to rest now, you should go back too."

"What are you going back for?"

"sleep."

"I can sleep here too!"

Seeing Chen Xiu's stunned expression, Tian Xinwei walked over, snatched the beer from his hand, took a big gulp, and then smashed it on the ground with a thud.

"Uh... I came all this way to watch cartoons with you, chat, and drink with you. What? You really think I came here to discuss writing and scripts with you?"

"uh-huh?"

Chen Xiu snapped out of her daze and asked uncertainly, "Didn't you understand what I meant just now?"

"hehe."

Tian Xinwei's smile spread from the corners of her mouth to the corners of her eyes, and finally she burst into laughter: "Hahaha! What's there not to understand? It's just that you have more than one girlfriend! And maybe they have more than one boyfriend too!"

Chen Xiu frowned and then relaxed, thinking to herself: Why should I lower myself to the level of a little girl...

"Xiaotian, you're drunk."

"You're angry, haha."

Tian Xinwei only saw Chen Xiu's furrowed brows. She was extremely ashamed and angry that she had fallen for a scumbag, and then she felt a sense of satisfaction at having successfully retaliated by provoking Chen Xiu with this.

Tian Xinwei kicked the beer can away, walked over, raised her exposed arm, and wrapped her arms around Chen Xiu's neck.

"Boss, would you like to be my friend with benefits? The kind where we don't date."

"you……"

Staring into Tian Xinwei's unusually clear and lucid eyes, Chen Xiu changed the question to: "Are you serious?"

"hey-hey."

Tian Xinwei smiled twice, smoothed her lips, and moved closer to Chen Xiu.

She stared at Chen Xiu with bright eyes for a long time before saying, "Boss, I feel like I still quite like scumbags."

"..."

"But I don't want to fight with them over a man, so let's just leave it at that! Tsk, oh well! It'll only be a few minutes. Once we leave the room, let's pretend nothing happened."

After saying that, Xiao Tian actually went so far as to help Chen Xiu remove his armor.

Feeling Tian Xinwei's clumsiness, Chen Xiu grabbed her fidgety little hand, leaned forward in her stunned gaze, and then they both fell onto the sofa.

Chen Xiu looked down at the bewildered and guilty Xiao Tian and teased, "It's too late for you to run away now!"

"Who, who's trying to escape! Don't make excuses like you're not feeling well, too tired, or haven't had it in too long... mua~"

Tian Xinwei's provocation was immediately silenced by Chen Xiu's kiss.

Then, he skillfully removed the close-fitting vest.

As fellow Attack on Titan fans, the two personally cosplayed a scene of Attack on Titan versus Female Titan.

Deeply influenced by Sichuan and Chongqing culture, and with her regular exercise routine, Tian Xinwei, though not as agile as the giantess Annie, has always tried to take the initiative. Unfortunately, she has never succeeded.

An hour later, feeling that Tian Xinwei was almost at her limit, Chen Xiu stopped what she was doing, sat cross-legged to the side, and calmly watched her.

Xiao Tian lay on his side, looking at Chen Xiu with a dazed expression. He could feel that Chen Xiu's muscle lines were very smooth, the muscle blocks were not particularly bulging, but when he exerted force, the strands of muscle fibers were particularly obvious...

"How is it? Do you want to continue?"

What did you eat?

Chen Xiu squinted and pouted, feeling speechless a lot today.

Tilting her head to look at Xiao Tian, ​​whose skin was flushed and covered in sweat, Chen Xiu stretched out her hand and became the surveyor on the spot.

"Hmm, not bad, but my stamina isn't quite there yet."

"Pah! When you went to get the beer just now, did you secretly eat something?"

Tian Xinwei propped herself up with her hands, looking at Chen Xiu with resentment, and thought to herself with absolute certainty: I'm exhausted, and you're acting like nothing happened, and you even say you didn't steal any food? Are you some kind of superhuman strength?

Faced with such criticism of being a "loser," Chen Xiu simply raised her hand and scratched her cheek, appearing used to it and bored.

"If you don't believe me, you can rest for a bit and continue. I've just warmed up anyway."

"Hiss~~ Anyone can brag, I just drank too much beer and was sweating it out!"

Looking at Xiao Tian, ​​who was the most stubborn person in the whole group, Chen Xiu thought for a moment and then raised a question about time.

"Hmm, can you last another two hours?"

"what?"

"Their limit is usually two hours. Can you do that?"

"..."

Tian Xinwei stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiu, feeling a strange sense of empathy for the men in TV dramas who were asked if they were capable.

In particular, Chen Xiu used them as examples.

With a crunch, Tian Xinwei clenched her small fists, her back teeth grinding together. The fatigue from before vanished under the drive of her pride, and power surged within her!
Xiao Tian puffed out his cheeks, staring at Chen Xiu with a determination to die together with him. He raised his index finger and said, "Two hours, is that it? Come on then. Whoever can't hold on first is a coward!"

"Forehead……"

"What?! You chickened out!"

"No, I actually know my limits. When 'Wolf Warrior 2' grossed over 5 billion yuan, Dilraba stayed up all night with me, and I could probably last for about 50 hours and 30 minutes..."

Chen Xiu raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and announced his fighting strength in a very calm tone.

Last time, Dilraba was indeed excited; she lay in bed for three days afterward...

Tian Xinwei's lips trembled, her eyes filled with despair and fear. She thought of Chen Xiu's many girlfriends, and Chen Xiu's current state certainly didn't seem like he was showing off or bragging.

If five and a half hours is real, then... Tian Xinwei felt a darkness engulf her vision, as if the sky had collapsed.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you're already very capable."

Chen Xiu comforted Tian Xinwei and muttered to herself, "I'm starting to get used to your level, and I'm trying to get as close as possible."

"Hmph! Come on, who's afraid of who!"

Tian Xinwei gritted her teeth, determined to verify the truth of these words herself!
The second season thus began.

……

It was 3 a.m. in Tian Xinwei's room.

"Ah~~~"

Wearing pajamas, sitting on the bed with his eyelids drooping, Zhou Ye let out a big yawn.

She picked up her phone, glanced at the time, and scolded, "You brat, you're not coming back and you're not replying to my messages! Humph, I'll interrogate you properly when I wake up!"

After saying that, Zhou Ye threw his phone aside, pulled the blanket over his head, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

As the morning light streamed into the room and shone on Zhou Ye's face, she twitched her nose uncomfortably. As she turned over, a warm touch reached her palm.

Zhou Ye suddenly opened his eyes and got up to check.

What came into view was Tian Xinwei, who was curled up in a ball, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes fluttering, and her stray hairs sticking to her face.

Zhou Ye's pupils dilated, and he hurriedly patted Tian Xinwei's shoulder, asking, "Xiao Tian, ​​when did you get back?"

"Well, I just came back."

"Just got back? Where did you go all night?"

"fight……"

Tian Xinwei closed her eyes, her lips moved weakly, and she spoke in a feeble voice.

Zhou Ye frowned, wanting to ask more, but the only response she received was the soft snoring from Tian Xinwei's nose.

On the other side, Chen Xiu, who had finished washing up, was sitting on the sofa holding her phone case, carefully examining the lipstick-colored words left on it.

"Scumbag!"

This was the farewell gift Tian Xinwei left for him.

With a light laugh, Chen Xiu casually tossed her phone case into the trash can, then got up, dressed, and headed to the film set to take her costume photos and rehearse the scene.
