The actor huffed. “At the end of the day, you shouldn’t have used my body to provoke Gong Jie! Did you ask my opinion when you did that? If you won’t ask my opinion before playing a prank, then why can’t I do the same?! Just because you’re a girl, does that give you special privileges? People should learn to think for others, and know what to do and what not to do. Since you said that both of us should be responsible for each other, did you do that?”
Liang Yin had nothing to say to that. Initially, she did not take this matter to heart. However, after Hua Jin’s reminder, she suddenly felt that she had gone overboard.
“I’m sorry…” she apologized immediately. “I didn’t expect you to mind so much.”
“Anyone in my shoes would mind very much!”
“Nothing happened between Qin Zhou and I yesterday,” he continued. “I merely made some discreet inquiries! But he was shrewd enough to guess at once that I was trying to sound him out on your behalf. Don’t worry, even if it had been two people sharing a bed and nothing of substance had happened, it wouldn’t have amounted to anything! But you, however, you said you kissed Gong Jie?”
“Mmm… Mmm…”
“You say I’ve gone too far, but what about you?!”
The actor sat down on the sofa and casually picked up the script from the table. He started reading it.
Liang Yin did not dare to interrupt him. However, she kept thinking about how to apologize to him and beg for his forgiveness. Hence, she stayed in the room and refused to leave. The actor ignored her and allowed her to linger as she pleased.
He had not been memorizing the script previously. Now that they were back in their own bodies, he had to memorize it for the filming starting the next day.
Before long, it was noon. When Hua Jin finished memorizing a few pages of his lines and looked up to stretch his muscles, he found Liang Yin curled up on the sofa, asleep.
He went over to her and nudged her gently. She woke with a start and quickly sat up, only to find the man standing in front of her, expressionless.
‘Did you not sleep well last night?’
Liang Yin shook her head. “No, I don’t know. I just felt tired, perhaps I didn’t have much to do…”
Suddenly, she no longer needed to memorize scripts. She felt bored rather than relaxed.
The actor smiled at that. “Let’s go out to dinner!” he suggested. “When we’re done, we can rehearse.”
“Oh…” Liang Yin ventured tentatively, “Are you no longer angry?”
“I’m angry.”
“…?”
“I’m very angry.” The actor added, “But they say men shouldn’t stoop to the level of women.”
Liang Yin felt a little upset, but she knew that she was in the wrong. “Alright, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry. How about this? I’ll rehearse with you. Consider it my way of making it up to you. Then we’re even!”
Since she’d already said so, Hua Jin did not pursue it. He changed the subject and asked, “What would you like to eat?”
“I feel like having pizza.”
“OK.”
“Oh, right.” At the mention of pizza, Liang Yin suddenly laughed in an evil way. “Boss, I’ve been working and acting on your behalf. You don’t seem to have paid me yet!”
“Ooooooh…” The actor took out his phone and asked, “Do you remember your bank account number?”
“Yes, I remember. Why?”
“Let me have it.”
“Are you going to pay me?”
“Yes. I have to keep my promise.”
