"What are you standing there foolishly for? Don't think that just by doing so, I will be able to forgive you. If you don't explain yourself to me today..." Lin Tianye stopped halfway through his sentence, and Tao Rong couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Lin Tianye had never seen Tao Rong so happy before. He was radiant, as if a thousand flowers were blooming and a majestic mountain was collapsing. His laughter dispelled the chill and distance, ruffling the calm surface of a tranquil spring.

Lin Tianye blinked, and when he regained his senses, he coughed awkwardly a few times and complained, "Is it that funny?"

Tao Rong wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corner of his eyes and said earnestly, "It's not funny."

"Go to hell!" Lin Tianye glared at Tao Rong before continuing to speak the lines written in the script provided by the program team, "Who is Xiaoyun, hmm?"

"Who?" Tao Rong blinked his eyes at him.

"I'm asking you!" Lin Tianye sat down while Tao Rong stood. Without the imposing height advantage, Lin Tianye clearly felt that his momentum was insufficient. "Sit, sit, sit! You sit down properly before speaking to me."

Tao Rong sat down next to him as instructed, and Lin Tianye continued contentedly, "Why did she call you 'darling'?"

"I don't know." Tao Rong casually replied, completely indifferent. Then he smiled, his eyes sparkling. "Aren't you my dear?"

Lin Tianye's heart skipped a beat.

I really didn't expect it, such a young age but so scheming!

Lin Tianye was unwilling to give up and continued stubbornly, "Stop beating around the bush. Just who is it in the end?"

Tao Rong let out a sigh, as if he was indulging himself: "Bao'er, don't you know my true feelings?"

Lin Tianye's breath hitched. Zhong Qin often called him "Bao'er" like this, over and over again. No one called him like that after Zhong Qin passed away. Now, suddenly being mentioned, it felt like his heart was being scratched, a bit painful, but filled with nostalgia.

Lin Tianye was about to say something, but suddenly remembered that they were still filming. They quickly switched to the next topic and said, "Who are you going to have a drink with tonight? Come back reeking of alcohol!"

Tao Rong tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and suddenly approached Lin Tianye. Lin Tianye could only feel Tao Rong's handsome face magnifying in front of his eyes, so close that he could see the fine fuzz on his face.

Tao Rong suddenly exhaled a breath towards him, mixed with the fragrance of bitter tea, and it directly enveloped Lin Tianye's lips and nostrils.

"Do we?" Tao Rong asked.

Lin Tianye pushed him away suddenly, his face turning uncontrollably red. His heart raced, causing him to be unable to utter a single word.

"Heh," Tao Rong chuckled, her clear voice sounding like jade beads dropping into Lin Tianye's ears. "Then, can I also ask Bao'er a few questions?"

Lin Tianye's mind had long since wandered off, unsure of how to respond, he nodded absentmindedly.

Tao Rong held his face, his eyes fixedly looking at him. "Who was that person this afternoon?"

"...Who?" Whatever Tao Rong said, Lin Tianye couldn't hear it at all. No wonder Jiajia sister said she never dared to make eye contact with Tao Rong while filming. Those affectionate eyes, when they looked at someone, it was as if there was only that person in the whole world."

It's you who helped her hold the umbrella." Tao Rong moved his thumb and slid it twice on the side of his face.

It turned out that the female staff mentioned earlier was referring to the first test. Only then did Lin Tianye realize this and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Tao Rong silently looked at him for a few seconds, then averted his gaze and softly said, "It's nothing. Just...a little bit concerned."

......

What expression is this? Is this guy feeling shy? Just now, he was getting so close that he seemed completely at ease, and now he's feeling shy?

Lin Tianye suddenly stood up, creating distance between himself and Tao Rong. He covered his mouth and stared blankly at the floor.

What should I do? Suddenly, I feel this little guy is so adorable.

Lin Tianye couldn't remember much of what happened afterwards. Mainly because he felt like he had lost his soul and was lost in a state of trance.

In the end, it was Tao Rong, who was skilled in flirting with girls, who won the title of "The Witch's Favorite". The "witch" herself admitted to being enchanted by Tao Rong.

As for Xia Cheng, he started laughing the moment he saw Qian Ning wearing a wig, and he didn't stop until they left the room. The mission couldn't proceed at all.

After the recording of the program was finished, Lin Tianye originally intended to go straight home. However, all the members of the "Yi Chen Celestial Master" crew were waiting for them to gather together. Lin Baishui even sent a new assistant to inform them that they had already booked a private room in a club under their name. It was simply impossible to refuse.

Xia Cheng also went along and joined Zhang Min, the director, in a drinking competition. Qian Ning was cheering on from the side. Tao Rong was surrounded by the group of veteran actors, discussing theater while enjoying tea. In this bustling private room of the clubhouse, the group of people managed to capture the atmosphere of an old teahouse.

Lin Tianye didn't join in the crowd this time, not daring to even glance in that direction. However, his heart seemed to be hanging on Tao Rong, and his peripheral vision unconsciously stole a glance over there.

In theory, this kind of occasion should be Lin Tianye's favorite as a second-generation heir who enjoys entertainment. In the early years of his debut, he often went to his own club with friends. However, today, Lin Tianye feels a bit uncomfortable and restless.

Finally getting through it, he didn't even say hello to Tao Rong, hurriedly returned home and went straight to bed, without even bother to take a shower.

The next day, as soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Lin Tianye woke up.

I was originally still in a daze, thinking about flipping over and going back to sleep, when suddenly I became fully aware of something and immediately woke up.

"Damn it." He cursed loudly, feeling the wetness in his hand as he touched inside the blanket.

Finished, Lin Tianye thought, the Lin family is going to become extinct.
