Before Going on a Variety Show, the Actress Lost Her Memory - Chapter 13

The lush, emerald-green leaves of the loquat tree in the courtyard, planted together by Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun in their childhood, shimmered with dappled sunlight in the evening glow.

Upstairs in the room, Yu Wenyu was pinned against the desk, her arms draped around Xi Xiuyun’s neck. Their bodies pressed together, their intimate kisses echoed loudly in the quiet air.

“Sister Xi… I can’t take it anymore…”

The faint blush at the corners of Yu Wenyu’s eyes was particularly striking. Xi Xiuyun’s breath hitched as she lifted Yu Wenyu’s chin and deepened the kiss.

Soft, wet, and nimble, like the strawberry cream puff she had once tasted, Yu Wenyu’s tongue slid across Xi Xiuyun’s palate, tracing its contours before entwining with hers in a deeper, more passionate embrace.

“Ayu, you said yourself—if you don’t study properly, this is your punishment.”

Yu Wenyu could have easily learned about such things online, but she cherished the feeling of being gradually marked by Xi Xiuyun’s touch.

This intimacy made her feel utterly and completely Xi Xiuyun’s.

From their youthful beginnings to their mature present, every facet of her blossoming self belonged to Xi Xiuyun, shaped and defined by her lover’s hand.

The little trickster who had once stolen kisses under the guise of “punishment” had long since become the wife of her beloved.

Now, nestled in Xi Xiuyun’s arms, she answered questions from fans.

“We want details about the parking lot photo!”

Yu Wenyu smiled faintly. “The parking lot? I think Sister Xi should answer this one. After all, she was the one who kicked open my precariously balanced closet door back then.”

Xi Xiuyun nodded in agreement, a clear amusement sparkling in her eyes. She’s deliberately letting me explain this, huh? So my little fish doesn’t have a seven-second memory after all—she’s quite the grudge-holder.

“It was probably in the Yu Clan’s parking lot. I had just returned to the capital and wanted to see her, so I went straight there without telling her. But she was talking to Sister Wenxi, so I didn’t go in and waited outside…”

Xi Xiuyun suddenly noticed Yu Wenyu’s expectant, “waiting for the drama” expression. Cute, but I don’t want her to get her way. A mischievous impulse struck her.

“Then, when Ayu came out, a girl approached her and asked for her WeChat.”

Yu Wenyu: …Huh?

What is this woman saying?! She was the one who asked for my WeChat!

“No! It was… Mmph!”

Xi Xiuyun!

Yu Wenyu frantically tried to explain, but a hand clamped over her mouth, simultaneously pressing her back against the seat.

“Later, I got jealous and kissed her in the parking lot.” Xi Xiuyun couldn’t suppress her laughter as she finished the story in a rush.

The fans were caught off guard by Xi Xiuyun’s radiant smile. The screen froze for a moment before erupting into a flurry of comments.

“Waaah, Best Actress Xi’s smile is so beautiful!”

“That genuine smile just pierced my heart.”

“Only Yu Zai can make Best Actress Xi this happy.”

“I’m dying from the cuteness! I’m doing sit-ups in my coffin!”

“My mom asked why I was licking the screen. Who can blame me? Her smile just… I’m gone.”

“Best Actress Xi really loves teasing Yu Zai.”

“Xi ‘Upright Gentleman’ Xiuyun”

Meanwhile, the “upright gentleman” was still teasing his wife in his arms, completely oblivious to what the fans were saying.

Yu Wenyu turned back to playfully argue with Xi Xiuyun. Seeing his hand still covering her, she opened her mouth and bit it.

When she looked up, she met Xi Xiuyun’s dark, fathomless eyes, their depths unreadable.

This position… Yu Wenyu’s face flushed crimson.

Don’t ask. If you do, the answer is: she regretted biting Xi Xiuyun’s finger.

As adults, she knew exactly what this gesture implied. After all, she’d been “fed” like this several times recently…

“You’re teasing me again!” Yu Wenyu buried her face in Xi Xiuyun’s neck, leaving only her bl00d-red ears visible to the fans.

“What just happened? Why is Yu Zai’s face so red?”

“Ahem… Best Actress Xi was teasing Yu Zai, and Yu Zai got flustered and bit her finger. If you know, you know.”

“CP fans: Let’s see how my OTP acts in private!

CP fans: 6”

“They’re so wild! I love it! Dream material acquired.”

“Xi Xiuyun, what do you mean? Are you planning to break up? What about our engagement? Does it mean nothing to you?”

Xi Xiuyun remained silent, not even daring to look at Yu Wenyu amidst the disarray of the room.

The marks on the piano made it almost impossible for her to face Yu Wenyu, to confront the reckless things she had done and said the previous night.

“I’ll call off the engagement and sincerely apologize to your parents. Whatever compensation they demand, the Xi Family will agree to it.”

“Ha! Do you think I need your paltry compensation?” Yu Wenyu laughed, her anger twisting into mockery. “Fine, if you want to call off the engagement, go ahead. The moment you do, I’ll find another woman—”

Yu Wenyu’s words were cut off by a sudden, muffled sound.
