Chapter 403

Ding-dong——

The doorbell rang again. Strange thoughts kept popping up in her mind, and Qin Wei suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Qin Wei: "......"

Ding-dong——

The doorbell rang for the third time. Qin Wei had already dialed Song Huan's number.

It was late at night, but Song Huan still answered the call. But Qin Wei didn't speak, and neither did Song Huan on the other end, both maintaining silence.

The doorbell stopped ringing, replaced by the sound of the smart lock being activated by a key.

Ka-cha——

A crisp click indicated the door was opened.

Ka——

The safety chain inside the door was still latched, so the door did not open.

"Qin Wei, give me five minutes, I'll be right there..."

Song Huan's faint voice came through over the phone.

Along with the faint sound of a car engine.

"Qin Wei, open the door for me!"

At the same time, Qiao Sixiao's gritted voice sounded from outside the door.

"Si Si?"

Qin Wei was stunned. She had all kinds of guesses, but never expected that her roommate would show up.

"Si Si?"

Song Huan on the phone also heard her speak,

"Your friend? Just her?"

"Yeah..."

The roommate outside was getting impatient and knocked on the door again:

"I'll say it again, open the door for me..."

"Song Huan, I think I was overthinking..." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Qin Wei said softly.

The person on the phone laughed:

"You were definitely overthinking. I told you nothing would happen...

Go to bed early. Yuan Xintong lent me her BMW scooter, I just went out for a ride."

"Miss Qin."

Judging only by the voice, you could tell the person outside the door was angry now.

Just as she was about to knock again, the door opened. Qiao Sixiao walked in, about to flare up, but was hugged by the other party, then heard her break down in tears.

Stunned for three seconds, Qiao Sixiao's first reaction was to close the door. Although the hotel had good sound insulation, she wasn't sure it could withstand her volume.

...

She cried for just a few minutes. After the feeling of distress and fear passed, she felt hungry. Qin Wei let go of her roommate and took out the bread Li Liang had secretly bought for her from the cabinet and started eating.

As she ate, tears kept streaming out. She wiped away tears with the back of her hand and asked the other party indistinctly as she sobbed:

"What are you doing here? How do you have a key card... wuwuwu..."

After eating a bowl of noodles, she could continue eating bread now. Qiao Sixiao felt it was unbearable to watch, but also considered that she must be in a terrible mood, so didn't say much, just said:

"I asked Li Yao. He said only the first installment of her pay had been given, all of which was used to pay him back.

I also said, Qin Wei's room deposit was 30,000 right? I'll give it to you first, but remember to give me the key card. He said OK."

Qin Wei still hadn't recovered from her crying. Hearing her say this, she blinked at her:

"Just... gave it to you?"

"Yeah."

Qiao Sixiao raised her hand and used her fingertips to wipe away the little teardrops clinging to her eyelashes, also feeling amused,

"30,000 bucks, your agent just sold you to me, just like He Hong said, this kind of trash agent, they'll do anything for money, get rid of him."

Qin Wei shook her head:

"How can it be the same? You were deceiving him! He's not that smart, he must have thought I told you everything and authorized all this, right!?"

"That's still dumb enough. Only you stick with him no matter what, having a teammate like this, he holds a lot of responsibility for your lost opportunities..."

She basically blurted this out without thinking. After saying it, even Qiao Sixiao was stunned. She looked up at her, frowning,

"I mean, Qin Wei, I'm sorry, what the director said might be true..."

Qin Wei stuffed a piece of bread into Qiao Sixiao's mouth.

"?"

Qin Wei took another bite of bread:

"Su Yang said dieting affects mood. Your sentimental look is because you're not eating enough.

Roles are inherently about whoever is best for it. Changing casts before shooting is too common to get angry over every time. That would make you die from anger first, wouldn't it?

Jing Yao is very lucky to have met you. Only because of you did she become a living presence in the story. If it were me, who knows?

Most importantly, like you, I've been in this industry for almost ten years. I got tired of snatching long ago. What can be taken away probably didn't belong to me in the first place. I can't say I'm not angry at all like some saint, especially when I lose money. But gradually I feel better afterwards...

To be honest, I saw many female entertainers at the variety shows I took part in earlier this year who had snatched resources from me before. But they seemed more furious than me when they saw me, which I didn't understand at first. Later I realized anger comes from fear, to protect themselves.

They were also afraid those things didn't really belong to them, that my presence could snatch those things away again.

But I didn't. I just wanted to stay out of it, just wanted to watch from the sidelines, watching them playing tricks. I increasingly felt it was meaningless to fight over benefits.

So Si Si, could you stop apologizing?"

Qiao Sixiao spoke gently:

"OK.

You were crying just now because you were afraid of being alone? Here, this is for you."

As she spoke, she pulled a brown plush fat teddy bear out of the LV suitcase she brought.

"OMG! What is this supreme cutie!?????? Give it to me quick, I need to hug it!"

Qin Wei put down the bread, not forgetting to carefully wipe her hands first, then solemnly took over the plush teddy, hugged and squeezed its face, simply couldn't bear to part with it.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Sixiao's smile returned. Seeing how much she liked this brown fluffy furry teddy, she felt it was worthwhile to have searched all over for it:

"Childish...

So tired. Going to sleep."

It was 2 am.

She got up and took a look. The advantage of a suite was that it had two bedrooms. So she asked Qin Wei:

"Are you scared to sleep alone?"

Qin Wei nodded.

"Then..."

Qiao Sixiao hesitated.

Qin Wei looked up at her and tilted her head:

"We sleep in the master bedroom, my darling teddy sleeps in the second bedroom?"

"Well... why not..."

Qin Wei raised her eyebrows:

"Shocking! Huge news! Bombshell! Is this a distortion of human nature or moral decay? The newly promoted visual goddess takes initiative to suggest sleeping together for the first time! Turns out it's because of this! The behind-the-scenes truth is touching!"

Qiao Sixiao: "Oh ffs!"

"So would you please sleep in the second bedroom?"

Qin Wei kissed and hugged the teddy, wishing she could bury her whole body in its fluffiness,

"I want to sleep with my new sweetheart. Good night!"

...

The next day she slept until she naturally woke up. Qin Wei groggily picked up her phone to check the hot search trends, then was completely awake.

"Hey wake up! How come this isn't what I expected, the hot search went off track!"

Qin Wei hugged the teddy and pushed open the door of the second bedroom, unceremoniously waking up her roommate and shoving the phone at her to see.

"Shouldn't it be praising our fairy friendship or something? Why would it become like this?"

"Become what..."

Qiao Sixiao still wasn't fully awake, mumbling indistinctly as she turned over to continue sleeping.

She was too tired last night and hadn't gotten enough sleep yet.

"Take a look!"

Qin Wei hugged the teddy and squeezed onto her bed, one hand holding up the phone screen facing her.

Qiao Sixiao opened her eyes. It was 6 am.

She had slept less than 4 hours...

Qiao Sixiao kept retreating backwards, but Qin Wei kept shoving the phone towards her face until she finally provoked displeasure:

"Hold the phone further away! You're about to stick it on my face, how can I see like that?!"

Qiao Sixiao took the phone and browsed through the entertainment hot search rankings, unsurprised by this:

"...profit-oriented considerations... have long been at odds behind the scenes...

Oh so it's saying we don't get along! Pfft! What's the big deal... if we don't get along then we don't get along! That's how rivals are... I need to ensure adequate sleep. Lie down, close eyes, what could be more important than sleeping on a day with no schedules?!"
