Chapter 261 Qiao Yingzi fell into a trap?
Qiao Yingzi was already accustomed to Fang Yifan's behavior of turning on the dramatic mode from time to time. She just rolled her eyes expressionlessly and punched Fang Yifan's arm mercilessly.
"Come on, stop it! Can such a trivial thing make you sad? If you were really that fragile, how could you survive to this day?" Qiao Yingzi said unhappily.
After hearing what Qiao Yingzi said, Fang Yifan not only did not feel embarrassed or ashamed, but instead felt like he had seized an opportunity.
He immediately turned to Qiao Yingzi and loudly retorted: "See, I have such a strong heart now thanks to this person!" As he spoke, he pointed at Qiao Yingzi with a half-smile and sarcastic expression on his face.
According to common sense, Fang Yifan's words would definitely make Qiao Yingzi unhappy or even angry, but surprisingly, this time Qiao Yingzi was not angry at all after listening to him.
Instead, he playfully blinked his big, watery eyes and responded with a smug look on his face: "Hey, if that's the case, why don't you thank me properly? Instead, you're complaining about me here!"
Fang Yifan couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the saying goes, "A red flower becomes red when it is close to a red flower, and a black flower becomes black when it is close to a black flower." After spending a long time with him, the once simple, naive, and somewhat silly Qiao Yingzi has become more and more clever and eccentric!
Seeing Fang Yifan's frustrated look, Qiao Yingzi was even more delighted. She shrugged her cute little nose like a proud peacock and snorted, "Humph, you want to fight me? No way!"
Qiao Yingzi slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on the spacious and bright office.
The room was crowded with people. Other colleagues were busy. Some were fiddling with their equipment, worried that the photos they were about to take would not turn out well.
Some of them were holding documents, rushing between desks, discussing work matters with others. The whole office was filled with a tense and orderly working atmosphere.
Qiao Yingzi retracted her gaze and cast a curious look at Fang Yifan who was sitting leisurely on the side. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Fang Hou'er, look at everyone else working hard, why are you still resting here leisurely?"
After hearing what Qiao Yingzi said, Fang Yifan was startled at first, then he quickly raised his handsome head, cleared his throat, and deliberately coughed loudly.
Then he put on an arrogant and complacent look and responded to Qiao Yingzi with confidence: "Oh, Yingzi, what you said is really unreasonable! You know, as the director and screenwriter of this work, my work is very important! At this moment, if I accidentally bump or hit it, it will definitely cause immeasurable losses to our company!"
Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but roll her eyes as she listened to Fang Yifan's endless speech, muttering to herself: This guy is clearly just looking for an excuse to be lazy!
However, thinking about it carefully, what Fang Yifan said was not without reason. After all, the director and screenwriter do play a pivotal role in the success of a work, and the work cannot be all on his shoulders. Thinking of this, Qiao Yingzi shook her head helplessly, curled her lips, and stopped arguing with Fang Yifan.
At this moment, Fang Yifan was like being struck by lightning and was suddenly awakened by Qiao Yingzi's words.
He quickly turned his head, a teasing smile on his face.
Fang Yifan raised his eyebrows and said to Qiao Yingzi with a half-smile, "Yingzi, look at the bustling scene around you. Everyone is busy and having a great time! Are you really willing to be just a bystander and don't want to participate in it and play a role to have fun?"
After hearing these words, Qiao Yingzi was startled for a moment, then she reached out and gently rubbed her smooth forehead, followed by a long sigh.
A helpless look appeared on her pretty face, and she responded unhappily: "Hey, Fang Hou'er, why are you still so persistent?"
However, Fang Yifan didn't care about Qiao Yingzi's complaints at all. Instead, he straightened up and defended himself confidently: "Humph, how can this be called giving up? I just feel that it's a pity to miss this rare opportunity!"
Qiao Yingzi knew very well that with Fang Yifan's stubborn temper, it would be very difficult to make him completely give up this idea.
But at this moment, in order to get a moment of peace and quiet, her big, lively eyes suddenly flashed with a light, and an idea to deal with it instantly popped up in her mind.
In an instant, Qiao Yingzi's tense face relaxed like a blooming spring flower, revealing a sly smile. She looked at Fang Yifan with burning eyes and said in a tender voice, "Hey, Fang Hou'er, actually...it's not completely impossible to participate in the performance!"
Fang Yifan couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the answer given by Qiao Yingzi. He thought that based on past experience, Qiao Yingzi would definitely refuse without hesitation.
However, he was surprised that she agreed so easily this time.
Could it be that Qiao Yingzi actually longed to experience it for herself deep down in her heart?
Fang Yifan pondered secretly, but he could not find a definite answer. After all, as the saying goes, a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle hidden deep in the sea.
But it’s also good this way. If Qiao Yingzi can discover two or three more hobbies, perhaps she can avoid excessive inner depression and prevent the development of such a serious condition as depression.
"That's great, Yingzi! You should hurry up and change your clothes, otherwise the shooting will officially start in a while." Fang Yifan said as he reached out and gently tugged at Qiao Yingzi's arm, urging her.
At this moment, Qiao Yingzi suddenly raised one hand, made a pause gesture, and shouted loudly: "Wait a moment!"
Fang Yifan saw this and instantly showed a trace of suspicion in his eyes. He stared at Qiao Yingzi and asked quickly, "Yingzi, could it be that... you regret not wanting to participate now?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yingzi shook her head vigorously without hesitation, and responded in an unusually firm tone: "No way! I have already promised you just now. I, Qiao Yingzi, have always kept my word and my words are as good as gold!"
Qiao Yingzi's words instantly made Fang Yifan feel confused and totally at a loss.
Qiao Yingzi looked at Fang Yifan's bewildered look with a smug look on her face. Her heart felt sweeter than eating honey. She secretly rejoiced and said to herself: Humph, this guy always thinks he is smart, but now he has encountered a difficult problem and can't figure it out!
Then, Qiao Yingzi coughed lightly, slowly raised her head, and playfully blinked her big, lively eyes at Fang Yifan.
She said slowly, "If you want me to participate... there is one extra condition."
When Fang Yifan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.
He couldn't help thinking: Oh no, could it be that Qiao Yingzi has set another trap for him that is difficult to overcome? But seeing that he is only one step away from success, how can he give up so easily?
Thinking of this, Fang Yifan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and his originally wavering gaze became firm again.
Then, he cleared his throat, waved his arms elegantly, put on an extremely heroic attitude, and shouted to Qiao Yingzi: "Yingzi, no matter what the conditions are, just bring them up! As long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse!"
At this moment, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes, thinking to herself: This is really strange, why is Fang Yifan so persistent in asking me to star in his short film?
But it doesn’t matter. Once I state the conditions, I’m sure this guy will back off.
The corners of Qiao Yingzi's pink lips slightly lifted up, outlining a smile as gorgeous as a blooming spring flower. Then, she gently raised her small and exquisite head, and her smart eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
She looked straight at Fang Yifan and said with a sweet smile: "Actually, this matter is really very simple! Just wait a moment, and if you can accompany me on stage to perform, then it will be done!"
Speaking of the short play carefully choreographed by Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi watched it carefully from beginning to end.
Even when she was feeling down and worried at night, as long as she recalled the hilarious scenes in the skits, she could not help laughing out loud, as if all her worries were instantly forgotten.
However, what is somewhat strange is that Fang Yifan himself is nowhere to be seen in the entire short play.
In this case, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but secretly speculate that maybe Fang Yifan didn't like participating in this kind of photo shoot? After all, if he was interested in the photo shoot, how could he not even give himself a chance to show his face?
As soon as Qiao Yingzi finished speaking, she raised her head high in triumph like a proud little peacock, with a bit of cunning and expectation in her eyes.
She stood there quietly, waiting with joy for Fang Yifan to give up and abandon the cooperation.
Sure enough, after hearing the conditions proposed by Qiao Yingzi, Fang Yifan's thick eyebrows immediately raised upwards, and an expression of extreme surprise appeared on his face.
He stared at Qiao Yingzi with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked puzzledly: "This...is this what you call a condition?"
It seemed that Fang Yifan was really puzzled as to why Qiao Yingzi would make such a request, and was a little confused for a moment.
Fang Yifan was silent for a long time, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Qiao Yingzi with a firm gaze, and slowly said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to shoot the skit!"
In fact, the reason why Fang Yifan had not chosen to appear on camera before was not because he had any aversion or resistance to this matter.
However, he simply felt that this matter was a bit troublesome. After all, if he wanted to participate in the filming, he would have to spend a lot of energy and time on preparation, rehearsal, and a series of tedious tasks.
However, when he saw Qiao Yingzi making this request to him with great anticipation, those so-called troubles were instantly thrown out of the window.
Since Fang Yifan was not disgusted at the moment, then why would he refuse after Qiao Yingzi made a bet with him?
So Fang Yifan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Hearing Fang Yifan's answer, Qiao Yingzi was stunned at first, then a smile as bright as a spring flower blossomed on her face. She raised her head excitedly and said, "That's great, then we won't embarrass each other and neither of us will participate..."
Halfway through her words, Qiao Yingzi suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, and her originally cheerful tone came to an abrupt end.
She blinked her big, lively eyes and frowned in confusion as she pondered. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and Qiao Yingzi quickly turned her gaze to Fang Yifan beside her, and asked in surprise, "Fang Houer, what did you just say? You actually said you were willing to participate in the filming?"
Fang Yifan watched Qiao Yingzi's slightly flustered appearance with interest, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
Then, the smile slowly receded like the tide, and was replaced by an extremely serious expression.
He nodded solemnly, looked at Qiao Yingzi firmly, and said slowly: "Yes, I agreed to shoot with you. Is this strange?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yifan's originally serious face suddenly broke into a smile as bright as the sun, and his bright eyes blinked at Qiao Yingzi mischievously, as if conveying some secret code that only the two of them could understand.
However, in stark contrast to Fang Yifan was Qiao Yingzi's reaction at the moment. She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the guy in front of her whom she loved and hated, secretly feeling annoyed in her heart - she was fooled by this guy again!
A trace of contemplation flashed across her eyes, and then she raised her head and stared at Fang Yifan with a suspicious look, asking, "Are you deliberately misleading me?"
Faced with Qiao Yingzi's sudden questioning, Fang Yifan couldn't help feeling a little at a loss, with a surprised expression on his face. He stared at Qiao Yingzi with wide eyes and asked back: "How did I mislead you?" For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense.
At this time, Qiao Yingzi took a deep breath, calmed her inner emotions a little, then raised her head righteously and said in a clear voice: "Huh, why have you never participated in the filming before? Isn't this an obvious thing!" After that, she clasped her hands in front of her chest, showing a posture that was unwilling to give up.
Fang Yifan spread his hands and looked at Qiao Yingzi helplessly: "Yingzi, you really wronged me. How could I know that you would come over? After all, Auntie is not so easy to persuade!"
When Qiao Yingzi heard this, her eyes flickered, as if what this guy said made sense. After all, with her mother's stubborn character, most people would not be able to convince her with full confidence.
