She then chuckled again, a hint of tears welling up in her eyes, "Sister, someone once said we were very alike. I never believed it, but now I see that statement couldn't be more true!"
"We are indeed so alike, so much so that we both like the same person."
Xing Yuan said angrily, "You just need to answer yes or no. There's no need to say anything else."
"Alright!" Xing Can leaned back, placing her hands on the ends of the chair. Her tone was playful as she nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I like her."
"You two are not suitable!" Xing Yuan stated without hesitation.
"You're too young! You don't understand what love is yet. She finds you annoying, so she asked me to help." Xing Yuan was not only decisive but also unceremoniously tore open Xing Can's wound.
She had always known how to inflict the deepest pain.
Xing Can stood frozen, her eyes dark and unreadable. After a moment, she retorted, "Sister! I'm not suitable, but are you?"
"Don't forget! I at least have a congenital advantage! At least I'm a man, I can be responsible for her, give her happiness. But what about you, sister? What can you give her?"
Xing Yuan was stumped. She had never considered such a question before. She turned her head away awkwardly, but her voice, quiet yet firm, echoed in Xing Can's ears:
"I can give her everything I have. As long as she wants it, and as long as I have it, I'm willing."
Tears were faintly visible in her eyes, but her voice was exceptionally resolute.
Xing Can pursed her lips and smiled brilliantly, her tone laced with a hint of teasing, "Then, sister, let's compete fairly. We'll see who wins in the end!"
"Compete fairly?" Xing Yuan snorted and glared fiercely at Xing Can.
"Who wants to compete fairly with you? I've been winning from the starting line from the beginning! I can live with sister, can you?" Xing Yuan flashed a provocative smile.
Xing Can was choked up, a hint of helplessness appearing in her eyes. She nodded, "Alright! You're efficient. But sometimes, proximity doesn't guarantee the first opportunity!"
After glaring at Xing Can again, Xing Yuan stormed off. If proximity didn't guarantee the first opportunity, she would simply stick to her sister like glue. Let's see what Xing Can could do then.
Leveraging her position as the boss's subordinate, Xing Yuan directly added Li Xiao's contact information and sent her a message, inquiring about Ji Wenyue's current whereabouts.
Li Xiao replied instantly, "Teacher Ji's work today is almost done. There's only the final wrap-up left, and she's expected to be home within an hour."
Xing Yuan replied with a cool emoji and then sent her a red envelope.
The sound of 100 yuan arriving in Alipay instantly delighted Li Xiao. She sent the big boss a fawning look of thanks.
Li Xiao laughed heartily, hands on her hips. Who would have thought that one day she could earn money by informing the boss of an artist's schedule?
The company strictly prohibited agents from leaking artists' private schedules. However, if the boss wanted it, everything would naturally be fine.
She trotted over to Ji Wenyue, smiling gently, and handed her a thermos.
"Teacher Ji! Have some water to moisten your throat!" After all, there might be a big battle tonight!
Ji Wenyue, completely unaware of Li Xiao's complex inner thoughts, picked up the cup and took a sip. After her daily obligatory Weibo post, she glanced at her messages and put down her phone.
Why hadn't she received a single message from her all day? It seemed she had been mistaken. She didn't like her at all. Perhaps it was just a fleeting whim before.
Ji Wenyue walked back to her residence under the cover of night. The next second, she saw the light on in the kitchen.
Her brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to recall if she had forgotten to turn off the light when she left, but she quickly shook her head.
She felt confident in the security here. She tiptoed towards the kitchen and saw Xing Yuan, wearing an apron, meticulously doing something.
"What are you doing?" Ji Wenyue asked softly.
Undeniably, she felt a flicker of surprise upon seeing Xing Yuan, but this surprise was instantly overshadowed by shock.
She clearly remembered what had happened the last time Xing Yuan entered the kitchen. This was an absolute disaster!
Ji Wenyue quickly stepped forward and took the item from Xing Yuan's hand.
Huh? What was this? A juicer?
Ji Wenyue looked at the object in her hand with confusion and disbelief.
She had thought Xing Yuan was a kitchen menace, but it turned out she was making juice.
Facing Xing Yuan's puzzled expression, she smiled awkwardly and put down the juicer, "I thought you were cooking!"
"Sister wants me to cook for her?" Xing Yuan's eyes instantly lit up. It was the first time she had heard her sister express such a desire!
Ji Wenyue quickly shook her head and stated decisively, "No!"
"Right, why are you still here?" Ji Wenyue changed the subject.
Xing Yuan blinked, her expression serious as she asked, "Didn't I say before?"
Seeing Ji Wenyue's confused expression, Xing Yuan nodded helplessly, "Alright then! I'll explain to sister again. I've decided: I'm moving here to live with sister from now on."
Ji Wenyue blinked in confusion and instinctively asked, "Why?"
Why so sudden? Had something happened recently that she didn't know about?
Xing Yuan gently touched her chin and pondered, "It's like this. From a boss's perspective and considering our close relationship, I think it's too lonely for you to live here alone. I've decided to keep you company."
This was a perfectly reasonable explanation, at least Ji Wenyue didn't know whether to refuse it.
She stopped questioning Xing Yuan and nodded seriously, "Since you've said so, then stay here!"
"Just right, with me watching you, your diet and other aspects can be healthier. Don't be like those CEOs online, all of whom have stomach problems."
Ji Wenyue's expression turned serious. This was something she had thought about for a long time, and today she finally had a legitimate and official way to keep an eye on things.
Xing Yuan felt a little guilty, as she did indeed neglect everything when she got busy. However, she still retorted stubbornly, "I'm much healthier than them."
Ji Wenyue nodded in agreement, gently placed her hand on Xing Yuan's head, and then gently pushed her aside, "Move aside, there are still vegetables in the kitchen. Let me cook you a meal first!"
"No!" Xing Yuan suddenly snapped out of her daze and grabbed Ji Wenyue's hand.
She put on a pitiful, pleading expression, "Sister, let's forget about it tonight! I've already ordered food, and it will be delivered here soon. Even if the food I ordered isn't that healthy, it's never too late to start healthy eating tomorrow!"
