Chapter 1339: Sharp-tongued, Arrogant Entertainer & Super-rich Insecure Wife 16
Jin Chen continued to focus on writing and drawing on paper, and did not continue to say whether he agreed to discuss the plot with Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi, also unafraid of embarrassment, walked to the table and told him her speculation: "I think the lover is the butler; after he came to this manor and fell in love with the young master, according to the script setting, the old master perhaps disliked the butler's identity, so he did not allow them to be together."
Based on the clues gathered so far, this speculation is indeed plausible.
Jin Chen finally lifted his head, casually stuffing the filled paper slip into the box, and asked, "How did the young master die? After the butler killed the old master, he loved the young master so much yet did not follow him in death—why?"
Cheng Yi: "……"
Who knows.
It was just an excuse to chat.
"I haven't thought of that yet… but many clues were discovered by you; perhaps with you here, we will soon find the truth."
When Cheng Yi said this, she had her back to the room's camera; listening, there seemed nothing wrong, but she was simply acknowledging Jin Chen's ability.
But his slightly raised gaze, full of expectation and trust, also gave people a somewhat hazy sense of closeness.
Obviously, Jin Chen felt it too.
"…You say this, does Chu Yin know?"
Even if it's a staged couple, please be a bit more professional, okay?
"What did I say?" Cheng Yi instead smiled with a curled lip, her eyes hinting at another light, "Could it be you misunderstood?"
Jin Chen stood up and left, saying, "If you don't want to participate in this show, turn left when you go out—I won't see you off."
Cheng Yi's smile unchanged, she innocently shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about, but thanks for listening to my speculation."
【What kind of riddle are these two playing??】
【Cheng Yi is hard to evaluate…… Jin Chen clearly refused at first, right?】
【Xiao Yi is just working seriously; some fans shouldn't be too eager to put gold on the main character's face—what can Jin Chen compare to Chu Yin??】
【You guys are sick, it's not Jin Chen who's rushing to go to someone else's single room.】
The two happened to come out one after another from Jin Chen's single-occupant task room, Cheng Yi still wearing a brilliant smile on her face.
In the hallway, only Shen Shi, who had finished his single task, and the Sincere Heart Towards Rain Group were present; seeing this, their expressions varied.
Shen Shi's already cold face sank instantly, and he also heard Cheng Yi's remark at the doorway.
"No direct evidence has been found; the person you need to speculate and discuss with is not Jin Chen."
His tone was deep and cold, revealing the oppressive force of a superior; Cheng Yi's smile could not be maintained, and even her best acting almost collapsed at this moment.
"……Sorry."
Cheng Yi's expression showed some nervousness; this time she faced the camera directly, "I thought everyone could exchange clues."
"Oh, exchanging clues—I'm interested too." Lin Cheng came over, laughing, "You should also tell us; how can you only tell Jin Chen?"
Cheng Yi, however, shook her head, her embarrassment and helplessness before the camera fully displayed, "It was my oversight."
Cheng Yi quickly entered Chu Yin's single-occupant task room, glancing at Jin Chen as she passed, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Shen Shi's brows furrowed even tighter all of a sudden.
Jin Chen.
Jin Chen looked back at him and asked, "What's up?"
The words rolled around in his mouth, but he still said them.
Shen Shi: "Don't get too close to…others."
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, turned sideways, "Sure, I'll buy a shield someday—no one will be able to get close."
Shen Shi: "……"
"I didn't mean that."
"Then why not just say it straight?"
Jin Chen rubbed his face, "What a bad habit."
——
After all single tasks were completed, the guests were also curious about their own flaws and shortcomings in their partners' eyes—these are things that cannot be openly admitted in usual interaction.
After the Sincere Heart Towards Rain Group's lively display of paper slips, it was Jin Chen's team's turn.
Jin Chen half-hung on Shen Shi's shoulder, lazily lifting his gaze to see what Shen Shi had written on the slip.
"Disobedient."
Only these three characters were written on the blank A4 paper.
Jin Chen drew out the tone when reading it, and however you listen, it carries a hint of deeper meaning.
"Am I very disobedient?"
Shen Shi looked up at him, nodding in silence.
"I don't believe or spread rumors." Jin Chen teased, not looking at Shen Shi's gaze, then immediately turned his head to deny it to the camera.
"I personally do not admit this."
Then he raised his hand to cover Shen Shi's mouth.
【Hahahaha who would believe that!】
【Take a look at your wife's indescribable face.】
【Shen Shi is already pretty good; Jin Chen, a person full of flaws from head to toe, actually only wrote this one point.】
【If Jin Chen were obedient, there probably wouldn't be so many scandals… Shen Shi's efforts to help the poor have been hard.】
【Blind guess: in Jin Chen's slip, he'll say Shen Shi's desire for control is too strong…】
The display cabinet changed the paper again, and all the guests looked over; the enlarged sketch of a pig's head filled their view.
Jin Chen's slip: "Won't tell you + pig head + this is a business secret + knife-wielding matchstick person + you guys aren't commercial spies sent by the rival, are you?!"
Everyone: "……"
What a richly filled sheet of paper.
Lin Cheng's mouth twitched, 'Indeed, very Jin Chen.'
〖Fuck, I laughed so hard I slapped the table, who the hell is spreading his dirt?! This is totally a childish brat! 〗
〖I actually didn't even realize Shen Shi's identity…… Jin Chen, you really shouldn't love so much! 〗
〖Reasonable suspicion: with a bit more time, Jin Chen could finish a set of comics. 〗
〖Hilarious, even through the screen you can feel the guests' speechlessness. 〗
Shen Shi was torn between laughter and tears, and heard Jin Chen softly accuse, 'Actually, Uncle Shen has plenty of bad habits.'
Shen Shi stared, annoyed, and swatted his hand away: 'Don't call me that.'
It's reasonable to suspect that Jin Chen was influenced by the recollection scene just then.
'For instance, she's ruthless—no wonder she's called a poisonous beauty.'
Jin Chen pulled back his hand and muttered, 'Forget it—family shame shouldn't be aired.'
Xiang Xiaoyu's voice suddenly rose.
'Eh… eh eh! Don't argue!'
She hurriedly separated Bai Qing and An Yun; both of their faces looked unpleasant.
Jin Chen leaned on Shen Shi's shoulder, watching the gossip, and looked at the two sheets of paper in the display case.
Bai Qing was dissatisfied that An Yun always called other artists 'older sister' when playing games; An Yun said it was just a habitual title, repeated the paper's content, and felt that Bai Qing is usually cold.
Bai Qing's already expressionless face grew even darker; An Yun stood nearby, fuming, comforting Xiang Xiaoyu.
Cheng Yi also tried to mediate, with Chu Yin occasionally adding a few words.
For a moment, the hallway was extremely lively.
Jin Chen didn't join the hustle, asking Shen Shi, 'If I called another artist "older brother", what would you think?'
Shen Shi didn't hesitate: 'I'll make sure you never see him again.'
Jin Chen clicked his tongue—the man who holds the lifeline of the entire group is just so domineering!
Despite Jin Chen's many past scandals, even if he just asked on a whim, Shen Shi was a bit wary.
He frowned, speaking softly and cautiously: 'Does this person not exist at all?'
After asking, he felt a bit paranoid, tightly pressing his lips and continuing to stay silent.
Jin Chen shook his head: 'No one can act high and mighty over me.'
'Oh.'
Shen Shi relaxed his brows, raised his hand and stroked Jin Chen's hair.
Jin Chen: '……'
