Cheng Fanjing was also shocked by Lin Shanchu’s actions. After a while, Cheng Fanjing finally found her voice.

“Lin Shanchu, what are you doing?”

When Huo Xunzhou spoke just now, Lin Shanchu got up and kicked the sofa chair away, sitting directly on his lap.

Lin Shanchu hugged Huo Xunzhou’s neck and leaned into his embrace with an innocent expression. “I’m billing and cooing with my big baby.”

‘You…” Cheng Fanjing was bereft of speech for a moment as she had never seen such a shameless person.

Lin Shanchu did not look at Cheng Fanjing and twirled slender fingers around Huo Xunzhou’s tie. “Miss Cheng, you’re disturbing us.”

Lin Shanchu was a crazy woman. Cheng Fanjing could not do anything to her, so she shifted the blame to Huo Xunzhou.

“Mr. Huo, you purposely invited me to dinner because you wanted me to see you and Ms. Lin acting lovey-dovey, right?”

Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhou’s hand on her waist tighten slightly, as if he wanted to push her away.

She suddenly retracted her fingers that were circling around the tie and whispered in Huo Xunzhou’s ear, “Brother Xunzhou, you’ll be dead meat if you dare to push me away now.”

Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhou curling his lip imperceptibly, but he continued to push her away.

Lin Shanchu paused for a moment and pressed down on his hand.

She could feel his hands struggling.

Cheng Fanjing did not wait for Huo Xunzhou to speak. She stood up with a swoosh and shouted, “Huo Xunzhou, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult if you want to ask me out again!”

Cheng Fanjing left angrily.

In the next moment, Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhou, who was still struggling, relax and hug her tightly.

After a long while, he finally called out to her in a hoarse voice. “Shanshan.” 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝒎

It was a simple word filled with complicated emotions.

Lin Shanchu pushed him away and stood up.

Huo Xunzhou seemed to be afraid that she would leave in anger, so he hurriedly stood up and said, “Shanshan…”

Lin Shanchu did not leave. Instead, she just sat down on the sofa chair beside him.

Huo Xunzhou heaved a sigh of relief.

The next second, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

“You…” Lin Shanchu pursed her lips.

She would not run away, so why was he grabbing her hand?

However, when she saw Huo Xunzhou’s eager look, she said nothing and just stared at him expressionlessly.

Huo Xunzhou lowered his voice and began to explain himself.

“I didn’t mean what I said at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning. I went to the photography competition to look for you because I wanted to explain what happened at the Civil Affairs Bureau to you, but when I stood in front of you, I couldn’t explain anything.

“My words and actions are being controlled by an invisible force. This matter is beyond my understanding, but it is real.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shanchu nervously.

He seemed to be worried that Lin Shanchu would distrust him, but he was mentally prepared just in case.

Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight and asked, “Have you encountered this kind of situation before?”

After Huo Xunzhou left the Civil Affairs Bureau today, he thought about this question carefully.

“There have been similar situations.”

“When?”

“I remember clearly the cocktail party not long after we met. I didn’t want to attend the party at first, but I somehow ended up going to the cocktail party because of a strong psychological cue.”

A cocktail party?

Lin Shanchu remembered that it was the cocktail party where Huo Xunzhou made his first appearance after retiring from the entertainment industry a year ago.

In the original book, Huo Xunzhou did not make his first appearance at a cocktail party after a year of retirement.

The cocktail party that Huo Xunzhou attended had brought forward the time of his appearance.

Back then, Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou made his public appearance early becasue her awakening had affected the plot’s direction.

Now, it seemed that it was not that simple.

“Other than that, when else have you encountered such a situation?”

“Today.”

Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and continued, “The situation today is different from the day of the cocktail party. That cocktail party simply brought me back into the public eye ealier without causing any negative effects. Compared to the situation at the cocktail party, what happened today was filled with malice.”

When he and Lin Shanchu were registering their marriage, he was stopped from signing the paper at the last moment. Moreover, he was even made to say harsh remarks and leave Lin Shanchu behind.

Lin Shanchu raised her eyes and looked around.

“Huo Xunzhou, have you ever doubted the authenticity of the world you live

Huo Xunzhou raised his head when he heard her voice, only to find that there was no one else in the revolving restaurant that was full just now.

There was not even a passing waiter.

The revolving restaurant was full all year round, and now it was dinner time. How could there be no customers?

This was completely illogical.

“Yes, this is very illogical.” Lin Shanchu guessed what Huo Xunzhou was thinking and turned to look at him.

“In a novel, all the scenarios serve the needs of the plot.

Just like when she first woke up in the hospital, the hospital that was supposed to be overcrowded was empty. She almost had nowhere to call for help under Lu Shiyuan’s pursuit.

Common sense was not important because everything served the plot.

As long as the plot required it, any unimaginable scene could become real.

“A novel?” Huo Xunzhou caught the key word in Lin Shanchu’s words.

“Yes, the characters in the novel are also pre-set. Logics and common sense are not important. They only need to do what they should do according to the setting, follow the plot and complete the ending that was set in advance.”

Lin Shanchu laughed after she finished speaking.

She was too experienced in this kind of thing.

Huo Xunzhou was silent for a while and looked at her with a serious expression.

“Back in Xu City, I asked Li MO to check all the hospitals but he couldn’t find your medical records. It was because the plot was set so that no one else could Imow about your illness, right?”

“That’s right.”

Lin Shanchu held his hand in her palm as if she was rewarding him.

Huo Xunzhou was so smart.

Huo Xunzhou connected the dots again and asked thoughtfully, “So, I’m not your official partner in the current plot and we can’t be together?”

“Official partner?” Lin Shanchu was amused by his statement and replied, “You can say so.”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression became complicated, and Lin Shanchu could not understand him.

“Who is your official partner?”

In the past, he would occasionally check the audience’s comments after he finished filming.

The audience often mentioned the words “official partner”.

In literary works, the main character was always set in advance.

If the world they were in was really a novel world, then Lin Shanchu must have her own official partner.

Lin Shanchu realized that this topic was getting dangerous.

“I don’t know. Let’s have dinner first.” Although the scenarios served the plot, she was still a living person who would feel hungry..
