Chapter 14: So Liu Yifei Is Part of Your Game

Page 1/3

"Ali, you don’t want Da Liu Yifei to find out you’re having an ambiguous thing with Xiao Liu Yifei, do you?"

Just as Zhang Li was pondering what excuse to come up with, Yang Mi said this sentence.

His mouth twitched, nearly spewing old blood. He wanted to say, "Sister, tone down the neon vibe."

"It's not a big deal," Zhang Li tactically sipped his water and then answered, "During the shooting of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci had a kissing scene. That was my first on-screen kiss with Shi Shiying."

"Just that?" Yang Mi asked in confusion. "It’s just your first on-screen kiss, nothing to make a big fuss over, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," Tang Yan nodded in agreement.

She originally played Xuejian, whose first on-screen kiss was with Hu Ge.

But on set, she switched to play Zixuan, whose first on-screen kiss was with Zhang Li.

Zhang Li put down his cup and said two words: "Real kiss."

He remembered clearly that day, both he and Liu Shishi were very nervous, having no experience.

After Li Guoli teased and provoked them, somehow they got carried away and decided to go for a real kiss.

After finally finishing the scene, Liu Shishi even cried, which made him very embarrassed.

That guy Hu Ge stepped up to lighten the mood, jokingly saying, "It's sealed now, so Shishi is my real sister-in-law."

"And in the future, Kang Di—wait, Ali—if you bully her, just tell me, I’ll stand up for you."

But afterward, Old Hu never really helped stand up for her; instead, he often teased Liu Shishi by calling her sister-in-law.

Actually, at first, he wanted to tease Zhang Li with that title, but Zhang Li was thick-skinned and didn’t care. Liu Shishi, however, reacted strongly.

Over time, Hu Ge, that "rascal," enjoyed using that title to tease Liu Shishi.

"A real kiss!?" Yang Mi and Tang Yan’s eyes went wide.

As actors, this day would come sooner or later.

But at least they hadn’t done a real one yet; they didn’t expect Zhang Li and Liu Shishi were already ahead of them.

"How did it feel?" Yang Mi immediately started gossiping.

"Discussing this is a bit mean," Zhang Li shot her a glare.

"Alright," Yang Mi admitted, feeling it was unfair to Liu Shishi, and laughed awkwardly, "I’m just curious, not gossiping, okay?"

"Why don’t you try it yourself then?" Zhang Li replied.

"Oh, you naughty little brother, would you really let your sister get taken advantage of?" Yang Mi deliberately gave him a coquettish wink.

Zhang Li looked at her with a playful glint in his eyes: "Sister Mi, you don’t want Yifei to know you’re trying to seduce me, do you?"

Yang Mi’s smile froze, and she rolled her eyes: "I really was winking at a blind man."

"Don’t say that," Zhang Li’s expression turned serious. "You can wait until one day we act together and try it then."

Yang Mi immediately lifted her chin, her gaze cold: "Naughty little brother, you slipped up, didn’t you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Yifei you’re hoping to shoot a kissing scene with me?"

Tang Yan: "..."

Now I understand, Liu Yifei is part of your little game!

"Hey, hey."

Hu Ge kept dodging and shouted to Zhang Li, "Ali, come save me."

"Can’t you manage your sister-in-law properly?"

Liu Shishi, who was about to stop, grabbed a prop sword nearby and resumed chasing Hu Ge, her fair face as red as a tomato.

"Aren’t you going to help?" Tang Yan asked.

"I should." Zhang Li nodded, stood up, and blocked Hu Ge, who got scolded.

Sugar: "..."

"See? Problem solved."

The three returned to Yang Mi and Tang Yan, smiling.

Yang Mi blinked and asked Liu Shishi, "So, should I call you… sister-in-law from now on?"

Liu Shishi’s cheeks flushed again, the redness spreading to her neck.

She had a cheerful personality but was quite shy.

"You’re not Huang Rong, you’re Huang Rong’s little daughter," Zhang Li defended Liu Shishi.

"Well, in The Legend of Sword and Fairy, I’m paired with Old Hu," Yang Mi brought up another angle.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy has its own logic," Zhang Li said seriously. "Shi Shishi is Old Hu’s sister. It’d make more sense for her to call me brother-in-law."

"But in The Legend of Sword and Fairy, I’m Xu Changqing, not paired with Long Kui, so we have no direct relation."

"That makes sense," Liu Shishi nodded.

"I agree," Hu Ge, who played Jing Tian, cheekily added, "According to Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, Shi Shishi is my sister, and White Tofu is my brother. So I can call Zixuan sister-in-law, right, sister-in-law?"

Hu Ge suddenly looked at Tang Yan, who was left confused.

Yang Mi’s eyes twinkled, showing a fox-like smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Li immediately grew wary.

He knew Yang Mi too well; when she puckered up, or rather smiled abnormally, she was about to stir up some abstract mischief.

Sure enough, next moment, Yang Mi said, "Speaking of which, Lin Qing’er is the daughter of Xu Changqing’s past life and Zixuan, and Zhao Ling’er is Lin Qing’er’s daughter. So Yifei, when she meets Ali in the future, should she call him… grandpa?"

The four of them: "..."

"Ah-choo."

In a villa estate in the imperial capital.

After being blacklisted by Huayi, Liu Yifei was at home picking at her nails, sneezing repeatedly.

"Are you catching a cold?" Liu Xiaoli asked with concern. "I told you not to set the air conditioner too low."

"No, no," Liu Yifei shook her head. "Maybe Ali is thinking about me. Mom, do you think I should reach out to him first?"

Liu Xiaoli gave a helpless, guilty smile. "I told you, I agree he goes out to take roles, but you keep butting heads with him. Back then, with Tangren, it was a mess with just a few words."

"Now we’ve offended Huayi, and you can’t get good roles for a while. If he wants to go out and try his luck, it might help you in the future."

"I'm not upset because he filmed a Tangren drama. As long as he treats him well, I’m not that petty." Liu Yifei pouted into Liu Xiaoli’s arms and whined, "I’m mad because he was on the phone with Liu Shishi during New Year’s. You didn’t see it, but his tone was so gentle."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli said nothing.

Having gone through two marriages, she understood many things, including Liu Yifei’s feelings for Zhang Li.

Zhang Li grew up under her watch, practically raised by her. His character, personality, and ability were all good. If Liu Yifei had feelings for him, she neither supported nor opposed.

Dating is something a girl does for herself.

But Liu Yifei’s temper needed to be managed.

Besides, Liu Yifei might be unhappy about losing her favorite toy.

For the sake of the two kids, she never persuaded them much. A break for some cooling off was fine.

"Xixi, it seems your only option now is to develop in the Hong Kong circle."

Mother and daughter returned to serious talk.

Meanwhile, the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew started shooting again.

After several scenes, Hu Ge showed a look of self-doubt.

"Why do I feel like I’m the worst actor among everyone?"

The three beauties from Legend of Sword and Fairy: "..."

Acting skills among actresses nowadays are all good.

Looks like I need to work twice as hard.

The three women all looked at Zhang Li with burning eyes.

Zhang Li: ?
