Chapter 152 Extra 2: Do you want to counterattack? (Yang Shi)

Since the last misunderstanding, the relationship between Jin Yang and Zhou Mushi has been in a state of neither good nor bad, neither close nor distant.

They would exchange a few words every day, but it was always with a forced politeness. As for any intimate behavior, it was out of the question.

After Jin Yang came back, Zhou Mushi moved his belongings into the spare room without saying a word.

Although they didn’t officially break up or fight, they just went back to being roommates who barely get along.

To be fair, Jin Yang was the one at fault. However, until the truth about Zhou Mushi’s family ruining Jin Yang’s company is brought to light, Zhou Mushi can only pretend to be ignorant, despite the fact that it is now directly in front of him.

Even though Jin Yang says he doesn’t mind, Zhou Mushi knows that he cannot take advantage of Jin Yang’s generosity.

Everything seems fine on the surface, but there are constant conflicts brewing underneath.

However, outsiders cannot help. Wang Jiexi helped Jin Yang with this trouble before, but now he has found an excuse to go on a business trip and stay far away from this messy situation. Otherwise, he may also have to suffer the consequences.

Without Wang Jiexi around, Jin Yang was showing his affections in a not-so-obvious manner every day, and Zhou Mushi wasn’t completely unresponsive. He always felt like he couldn’t find a good opportunity to reconcile, so he could only pretend to be attentive every day.

Having dinner together at the same table after work was also an ordeal, so Zhou Mushi decided to invite his own friends to hang out and have dinner together.

Zhou Hang had become a big star by now, and he was very smart. He chose a role that would break fans hearts but wouldn’t require him to constantly feed them with attention, unlike other celebrities who had to constantly maintain their public image.

Although he played a villain, his looks were top-notch, and his acting skills were powerful. Despite his terrible life circumstances, which made him a pitiable character, he was hard to hate and even more devoted to seeking warmth in his heart, even if it meant doing bad things.

As expected, this character became a hit. If it were given to a lesser-known actor, they would have quickly taken advantage of the opportunity and continued filming. However, this big shot who likes to play games decided to take a good rest at this time, and even had time to dine with Zhou Mushi.

The story of Zhou Hang and Li Lingling back then was also quite touching.

Before this drama that Zhou Hang participated in became a huge success, Li Lingling had been a screenwriter for several years without any real success. Now, with Zhou Hang’s involvement, both the actors and the screenwriter have doubled their worth. It’s just that no one knows whether Li Lingling made Zhou Hang or Zhou Hang made Li Lingling.

However, at this point, the two people who once loved each other but were separated due to misunderstandings can no longer regain their feelings from the past.

The former lover was once the white moonlight and beauty mark in his heart, but it can only be a thing of the past now.

Currently, Zhou Hang is sitting in front of a table full of delicious food, eating with great pleasure.

“You don’t know, wherever I go now, there’s a wave of fans, it’s so annoying!”

“Even when I go to the company, some employees muster up the courage to take pictures with me. What can I do? They’re my own employees.”

“It’s all the burden brought by my appearance. I really wish my parents had made me a little less good-looking.”

Zhou Hang kept talking for a while, finally irritating the person across from him who had just fished out a delicious piece of beef from the spicy hot pot.

“Brother, if your mouth wasn’t already smiling up to your ears, I would have believed you.” Zhou Mushi stuffed the oily beef into his mouth, chewed it with disgust, and swallowed it.

Zhou Hang rubbed his now precious face and laughed with a joyful expression, “Do I have it? Do I? No, I’m such a low-key and cultured person. Being aloof is my way of protection.”

Zhou Mushi : “…”

“What’s wrong with you?” Zhou Hang saw that he didn’t look good and quickly handed him a bottle of water.

“Feeling nauseous.”

“Are you pregnant like Lin Shucheng?”

Zhou Mushi frowned impatiently and slapped him: “Get out of here, I feel sick because of your narcissism!”

Zhou Hang wasn’t angry either, and helped him unscrew the water bottle and said, “I see that your temperament is the opposite of Shucheng’s now.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Mushi took a sip of water and asked him.

“What kind of person was Lin Shucheng when he was in school? He wasn’t expressionless, but he was also cold and distant. You, on the other hand, were lively and bubbly, like a bubble in a honey jar all the time. But now, I see that Lin Shucheng is soft and sweet, with more and more smiles on his face. As for you, just look at the way you are now, emitting cold air from head to toe, as if you’re pushing people away from a thousand miles!”

Zhou Mushi stiffly turned his neck and asked, “Is that so?”

“Of course!” Zhou Hang said, putting some meat into the hot pot.

“Let me guess, it must be because of Jin Yang.”

Zhou Mushi remained silent.

Zhou Hang looked at his helpless appearance and impatiently asked, “So, you asked me out and yet you’re not going to tell me what’s going on?”

These two had a close relationship, so there was no need to hide anything at this point.

Zhou Mushi explained the situation to Zhou Hang in detail.

“Oh, I see!” Zhou Hang rubbed his chin and after a moment of hesitation, a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Mushi, have you ever thought about…you know…fighting back all these years with Jin Yang?”

“What?” Zhou Mushi frowned. “Don’t you dare bring up anything about cheating. I’m not that kind of person, and I don’t appreciate that kind of talk.”

“You’re so uptight. What I meant was, have you ever thought about…retaliating!”

Zhou Mushi : “…”

Zhou Hang draped his arm over his shoulder and leaned in close to say, “Think about it, why should Jin Yang have been pushing you around all these years? Of course, it’s not a matter of who is pushing whom. With regard to your situation with Jin Yang, to put it plainly, there has been a lack of communication. What problems can’t be solved by rolling in the sheets? If one time doesn’t work, then try two! But I feel that this is your perfect opportunity to counterattack. Look at the way Jin Yang is now, he is clearly remorseful about deceiving you. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to regroup and take him down in one fell swoop? Your family’s status will change, and everything will be easily solved.”

Zhou Mushi had never really thought about counterattacking before, but he was a man after all. What man doesn’t want to show off his prowess to the one he loves? However, he had a vague feeling that counterattacking and solving problems weren’t necessarily the same thing, but Zhou Hang’s words seemed to have found no flaws.

“Is this really feasible? What if Jin Yang doesn’t agree?” Zhou Mushi asked, feeling uncertain.

“Don’t worry, if he doesn’t agree, just ask him if he really loves you. What’s wrong with doing something for love? Why can you do it and he can’t? If he still doesn’t agree, just cry.”

Feeling a little led astray, Zhou Mushi clenched his fist and said, “Alright, I’ll try it when I get back.”

Meanwhile, someone who was buried in eating hotpot secretly gave a sly smile and said, “You don’t treat your guests properly, so be prepared to have trouble sleeping when you go back home.” Hmm~
