Chapter 307 The Lipstick Was Eaten Away

Song Ni met Tan Zheng's teasing gaze. Without time to dwell on his impertinence, she turned and dashed towards the adjacent room. The livestream had already begun, and it was time for her to connect. Song Ni grabbed a tissue and casually wiped her mouth. As soon as she connected, she saw the screen flooded with comments and a barrage of virtual gifts. Song Ni was dazzled. It was her turn to greet the livestream audience. "Good evening, my dears. I am Song Ni, who plays Shang Luo. Thank you all for the warm welcome. No need for gifts, please don't overspend." She handled it with practiced ease, her natural composure far surpassing even that of veteran actor Su Jingxi, especially compared to other rookie actors. The comments scrolled by in a stream: "The young lady is so beautiful!" "The young lady is so fierce!" "Wuwuwu, finally waiting for the young lady!" "When will the young lady return to the entertainment industry?" "The young lady's Weibo is about to grow moss, hurry up and be active!" "What's the young lady's lipstick shade! Please recommend it! It looks so good!" "..." Amidst the flurry of comments, Song Ni spotted a sweet commenter asking for the lipstick shade. She picked up her lipstick to show it, but before she could speak, another wave of comments poured in. "It's fine if the young lady just tells us! No need to show it!" Song Ni didn't quite understand the rules of livestreams. With no staff around, she had to manage everything herself, relying on WeChat for reminders. Reading the comments, Song Ni realized that this type of livestream was not meant for product placement. Song Ni glanced at the lipstick and casually placed it aside. The hint of confusion in her eyes betrayed the lack of understanding from someone of wealth. The audience was amused, directly suggesting that a certain lipstick brand should be smart and approach Song Ni for collaboration. In the end, Song Ni only verbally stated the shade. Everyone was captivated by Song Ni's beauty and didn't notice that the shade she mentioned was completely different from the color on her lips. Soon, a host emerged to control the flow, but the fans were so eager to see Song Ni again that it was difficult to manage. This approach could easily have displeased passersby and other fans, but fortunately, Song Ni's stunning appearance ensured that no major issue arose in that brief period. Seeing that the host was struggling to regain control, Song Ni interjected, "My dears, please be patient. I will be here for the entire hour. Let's follow the host's lead with the process." This statement immediately resulted in a wave of obedient comments. Song Ni had already reviewed the process and knew that the main focus was on the male and female leads. She didn't want to overshadow them. While the host was cueing others, she picked up another phone to check for updates. What she saw was astonishing. Chang Zi had sent a long string of messages. Song Ni quickly scanned them, her brow furrowing, and she raised a hand to touch her lips. Chang Zi said that the color of her lips was completely different from the lipstick shade she had mentioned, which could lead to misunderstandings. Whether this misunderstanding would escalate depended entirely on the brand's intentions. Song Ni wasn't worried about the brand; she was thinking about how fiercely Tan Zheng had kissed her earlier, having completely wiped off her lipstick in such a short time. Chang Zi, watching the livestream, frowned as she saw Song Ni looking down at her phone but not replying. She sent another message. "??? Did you see? Which shade did you actually apply? Tell me so I can be prepared." Song Ni snapped back to attention and sent a message to Chang Zi. Song Ni: "I did indeed apply the shade I mentioned earlier." Chang Zi: "Are you listening to yourself? Look closely at the color comparison. Anyone with eyes can see it's not the same." Song Ni: "I haven't finished speaking. I did apply that shade at the beginning." Chang Zi: "And then?" Song Ni: "Oh, I just went to find Tan Zheng, and he ate it." Chang Zi: "?????????" Song Ni: "Don't you understand? You should find a man to spice up your life." Chang Zi: "?????????" Song Ni's eyebrows twitched. Just as she was about to type, Chang Zi replied again. Chang Zi: "So you're not wearing anything else now?" Song Ni: "Correct." Chang Zi: "But this also doesn't quite match your lip color. Was Mr. Tan that intense when kissing? It made your complexion so much better." For some reason, Song Ni let out a chuckle. This single laugh, even with the microphone muted, attracted the attention of many. Su Jingxi directly called out to Song Ni. "What is Lady Shang looking at? So engrossed?" "Lady Shang" was the nickname the male lead, played by Su Jingxi, used for Song Ni in the drama. Even after half a year, Song Ni still reacted upon hearing it. She looked up and precisely met Su Jingxi's gaze on the screen. She hadn't seen him in several months. Su Jingxi had cut his hair shorter, losing some of his gentle demeanor. She hadn't paid much attention to entertainment news, but she was WeChat friends with Su Jingxi and knew about his activities. He was currently filming a movie where he played a psychopathic killer. Song Ni put down her phone. "I think Actor Su has developed a bit more of a killer aura lately; it's even more terrifying than in the drama." The word "even" was quite telling. Su Jingxi quickly realized what Song Ni was implying. Fortunately, she didn't state it explicitly, otherwise, it would have been a major faux pas on the livestream. "You've been abroad for a long time, so it's normal to feel a bit unfamiliar after not seeing each other." This sentence successfully shifted the focus back to Song Ni, as many people were eager to know her current situation. Song Ni understood that Su Jingxi was tired of being asked and had done this intentionally. Very well, she made a mental note of this. She was still in good spirits and answered the host's questions and some fan remarks as best she could. Chang Zi had likely briefed the host, as they didn't dare ask Song Ni any intrusive questions. Soon, the segment moved to sharing snippets of daily life. Song Ni's marriage was already an open secret in the industry. She generously shared how she and Tan Zheng had painted each other by Lake Romon, as that was all her mind could focus on. This was the first time Song Ni had proactively shown affection in such a public setting since announcing their relationship on Weibo. The livestream's popularity surged, nearly causing a system malfunction. Everyone clamored to see the painting of Tan Zheng by Song Ni. Everyone was curious about the man Song Ni spoke of so highly. "Young lady, we want to see brother-in-law!" Comments like this filled the screen. Song Ni saw them clearly but shook her head. "No, you can't. My man wouldn't let you see him." Another dose of public display of affection. The fans then settled for seeing what the young lady looked like in the painting by her brother-in-law. Song Ni pondered for a moment and decided it wasn't impossible. "Alright, please wait a moment. I'll go get it now." With that, Song Ni stood up. As she opened the door, she saw Tan Zheng standing outside, having just finished his workout and shower. Seeing Song Ni, his brows lifted. "Finished?" His voice was low, but the door was not fully closed, and the town was exceptionally quiet. The sentence was clearly captured by the phone. The livestream exploded.
