Chapter 614 – The Film Tycoon’s National Sister (25)
The Film Tycoon’s National Sister (25)
Lu Zixi groggily woke up . Still half-asleep, he became aware of something soft in his arms .
He was immediately startled awake and saw Bai Weiwei leaning against him and huddling in his arms .
His arms supported her head .
And her breath, softly blowing on his bare chest, brought an itchy sensation with it .
Lu Zixi’s body stiffened for a moment before he carefully moved .
He pushed her out of his arms .
Bai Weiwei meekly rolled over and continued to sleep .
The quilt dropped to her stomach, and beneath her mussed clothing, a bit of white, extremely enticing skin peeked out .
Lu Zixi’s breathing became heavy, and he immediately got out of bed .
He hurried over to the bathroom .
When he came out again, he saw Bai Weiwei hugging the sheets, sitting alone on the bed and watching him warily .
Lu Zixi’s footsteps paused . He forced the corners of his lips upward, trying to greet her naturally .
But because of his recollection of what happened last night .
And his previous disgust and aversion towards her .
It looked a bit abnormal .
He could only expressionlessly say: “You will live here in the future . I will have someone prepare a room for you . ”
Saying this, he turned around and left .
Suddenly, her soft voice called out from behind . “Gege?”
It sounded uncertain and tentative .
Lu Zixi had already reached the door . He stopped, was silent for a moment, then calmly responded: “En . ”
This “en” was like an unshackling of the years-long feud between them .
Lu Zixi felt a sense of relief .
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came from behind him, and a soft body hugged him from behind .
She hugged him from behind, calling out softly and clearly again: “Gege . ”
This “gege” was full of boundless joy .
Her voice was lively and cheerful . “Even if you only acknowledge me for one day, I’m… very happy . ”
Lu Zixi’s nose was sour as he allowed her to hug him . After a long time, he finally said: “It’s more than a day . ”

【Ding, the male lead’s favorability is 40 . 】
System: …This terrifying increase in favorability was abnormally fast .
After a surge of favorability, Bai Weiwei finally gave up on tossing Lu Zixi for the time being .
She began to manage her acting career .
The green tea meimei advertisement was still a hot topic .
After all, Bai Weiwei’s looks appealed to both the young and old . Every man had such a lovable meimei in his heart .
Every woman had a pure dream in her heart .
And Bai Weiwei undoubtedly fit all the criteria .
The green tea company had also called her and said that many people had contacted her, wanting to ask her to shoot an advertisement or play a part .
But Bai Weiwei refused them all .
Because she was interested in the latest big production .
It was Xiao Yi’s new movie, 《Dream-like Blossoms1》 .
The system said: “Take advantage of your brief popularity as a sister and brush up on the favorability . What are you acting for?”
Bai Weiwei’s words sounded righteous: “Because then I can openly and honestly2 go hook up with other people . ”

System: “Huh?”
Bai Weiwei: “You don’t understand . Just having the identity of a little sister isn’t enough to complete the favorability meter . I have to use an outside force to stimulate Lu Zixi and make him increase his favorability . ”
System: How could you talk about such a vulgar plan so openly?
Lu Zixi looked impatiently at Xiao Yi .
“I want to be done with work . If you have something to say, then hurry up . ”
Xiao Yi looked immensely pleased3 . “I found a person for the meimei role in 《Dream-like Blossoms》 .
Lu Zixi absent-mindedly checked the time . “Congratulations . ”
He had recently gotten off work earlier .
Every time he came home, he would see a pink figure quietly sneaking peeks at him .
Seeing that he had returned, she would then run off like a startled rabbit .
This sister of his was a bit timid .
But the butler told him that every time he got off work, she would silently stand by the door, waiting for him .
Sometimes he would come back late, and she would wait for him without even eating dinner .

Since then, he started coming back much earlier .
Xiao Yi said with a smile: “She’s called Bai Weiwei . She’s green tea meimei who’s very popular online . ”
Lu Zixi carelessly responded, then raised his head . He said coldly: “Who did you say it was?”
Xiao Yi led Lu Zixi downstairs . “There’s a practice room downstairs . She’s practicing her lines with the actor playing her brother . ”
Lu Zixi hurried over to the practice room .
And he saw Bai Weiwei with an innocent and sweet smile on her face . She hugged a man standing across from her, looked up, and said softly: “Gege . ”
Gege…
Lu Zixi felt a fire within him flare up .
1: 《繁花似梦》: flowers + resemble/similar to + dream(s) . 繁花 seems to be a collective term for many or numerous flowers . ↩
2: 光明正大: fair and aboveboard . ↩
3: 春分得意: looks like it’s part of a longer verse from Tang poet Meng Jiao’s (which roughly means something like “on becoming an official”) . It contrasted his previous frustration and hardship with the triumph and joy of gaining fame and prestige (and of course, his official title) after passing the imperial examination . This part of the poem basically describes the joy the speaker feels . ↩
