Chapter – 64
From the heart, a frost began to form, almost solidifying all the way up to her chest, ready to shoot icy arrows from her eyes.
Lin Qingyi always prided herself on having excellent control over her emotions. But at this moment, she could feel her emotions slipping away bit by bit. She hated the feeling of slowly losing control, and the emergence of this feeling was clearly caused by a certain “flower vase.” So she started to vent her frustration on that “flower vase.”
Even though she tried her best to suppress her emotions, they kept climbing toward a critical point. Once they crossed that line, she stopped the rehearsal. She knew that even if the director could let this scene continue, it wouldn’t be her best state. She disliked being half-hearted in her work; it was better to pause and sort out her emotions first.
Wang Chengxiong could tell that Lin Qingyi wasn’t in as good a state as before. Of course, this was only relative to her own standard; compared to others, she was still excellent. So he didn’t call “cut,” but he hadn’t expected Lin Qingyi to stop on her own. He admired her professionalism.
Even if she had only performed at 60% of her potential just now, for someone like Qin Shiyue, who had poor acting skills, it was still a high score. So she was a bit puzzled — why had Lin Qingyi suddenly stopped?
Puzzled as she was, she immediately approached Lin Qingyi.
Kong Huizhi also didn’t want to lose the initiative and stepped forward at the same time.
The two ex-wives, secretly competing with each other, almost simultaneously offered their drinks to Lin Qingyi.
History seemed to repeat itself — it was very similar to the time when both had invited Lin Qingyi to dance.
But this time, Qin Shiyue’s mindset was completely different. Back then, it was purely to sabotage. This time, she genuinely wanted to win, and she was confident she could. After all, she had spent more than ten days with Lin Qingyi, and they had become quite familiar. Surely Lin Qingyi would accept the drink from someone more familiar.
Unfortunately, Qin Shiyue’s joy was premature. She didn’t know that in Lin Qingyi’s heart, she had already been pinned against the wall, pierced by the icy arrow from Lin Qingyi’s heart.
Lin Qingyi’s lips curved slightly into a faint smile, almost devoid of warmth. She reached out and took the drink from Kong Huizhi’s hand.
Qin Shiyue, who had thought victory was in her grasp, was incredulous. Lin Qingyi had taken Kong Huizhi’s drink. She felt a huge hole pierce her chest, a pain so intense as if sulfuric acid was flowing out, almost burning her entire heart.
“Teacher Lin doesn’t drink trash bottled drinks, right?” Qin Shiyue asked sourly. She couldn’t understand why Lin Qingyi would take Kong Huizhi’s drink. Weren’t they supposed to be closer? At this moment, she felt upset at Lin Qingyi. She refused to admit that her emotions were because of Lin Qingyi; she preferred to blame Kong Huizhi instead.
Author’s note:
Lin Qingyi: “I’m practically dying of jealousy. Of course, I won’t let you be happy. If you’re jealous, we’ll all be jealous together.”
Qin Shiyue: “I got slapped in the face and fed a bowl of sulfuric acid. This garlic will eventually be chopped into pieces.”
Lin Qingyi: “With what?”
Qin Shiyue: “Obviously, with my hands.”
There might be random red envelopes dropped.

Chapter 39
“This is pure natural juice, relatively healthy,” Kong Huizhi immediately added.
“Even if it’s pure natural juice, the sugar content must be high. Teacher Lin is a professional actor and very disciplined…” Even though her chest hurt from the emotional blow, Qin Shiyue tried to persuade Lin Qingyi to change her mind. This instinctive display of jealousy was almost reflexive.
Qin Shiyue’s unhappiness and jealousy were written all over her face, but Lin Qingyi thought she was jealous because of Kong Huizhi. Her heart hardened even more.
“Occasionally drinking one or two times is fine.” Lin Qingyi said as she twisted open the cap and took a small sip.
Kong Huizhi didn’t feel happy at all, realizing that Lin Qingyi had only pretended to drink; the liquid in the bottle barely changed. Lin Qingyi could have refused or even taken Qin Shiyue’s lemonade, but she deliberately pretended to drink, seemingly to perform for someone — very obviously for Qin Shiyue, her ex-wife.
This realization made Kong Huizhi smile faintly, feeling a bit awkward. Clearly, the goddess seemed to like her ex-wife more.
Not only did Kong Huizhi notice that Lin Qingyi hadn’t really drunk the beverage, but Bai Wenxi and Fang Xinhua also noticed. They all thought that Lin Qingyi might be jealous, so deliberately choosing the ex-wife’s drink was to provoke Qin Erbao.
Only Qin Erbao didn’t notice that Lin Qingyi hadn’t really drunk her lemonade. Her heart and eyes were drowned in jealousy, almost losing all rationality.
Lin Qingyi didn’t drink her lemonade but drank Kong Huizhi’s. Why would she choose the “trash drink” from her ex-wife instead of her own lemonade? She thought she was closer to Lin Qingyi, but reality had slapped her in the face. Qin Shiyue felt both sour and bitter in her chest; even her eyes stung. She wanted to cry but fought hard to hold back the tears. After all, crying over a cup of undelivered lemonade felt so meaningless. She forced all her emotions back down.
