Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Beauty Like Jade

Faced with her ambiguous behavior, Lin Yuan subconsciously reached out and prepared to take the tissue to wipe his mouth.

But when he raised his hand, Zhang Ziyi's jade hand moved forward and put her hand and the tissue into Lin Yuan's palm.

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to react, she stuffed the tissue into his palm.

When she pulled out her tender little hand, her jade fingers grazed across his palm, creating ripples in Lin Yuan's heart.

"Are you shy? Then wipe it yourself." Her smile was as beautiful as a flower and she was full of charm.

What a charmer she was, and a charmer who knew how to tease men.

Lin Yuan pretended to wipe his mouth with a tissue to cover up his confusion.

When he put the tissue down, Zhang Ziyi opened her arms and said, "Long time no see, can you give me a hug?"

Looking at her slender and charming body and her cold yet seductive face, the man's instinct drove him to step forward and feel the beauty of that gentle land.

But Lin Yuan's mind was exceptionally clear at this moment.

He and Zhang Ziyi had always had a good relationship. When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," they were lovers in the play and had many private exchanges outside of work.

Zhang Ziyi was 21 years old this year, three years older than himself, which was the age when a woman was in her prime.

When the two of them were together in the past, Lin Yuan knew that she regarded him more as a charming younger brother of the opposite sex.

Although she was very affectionate and caring towards him, she always maintained a bit of reserve and kept a small, insurmountable distance.

The attraction between men and women made her unable to help but get close to him.

But her immaturity and utilitarianism prevented her from really choosing him.

Women in the entertainment industry could only admire strong men, and could only look at handsome but immature brothers, but they were not a good match.

But when they met this time, her attitude towards Lin Yuan had obviously changed.

This was not surprising at all. In the past two months, Lin Yuan's career had been on the rise and had shown excellent momentum.

At this moment, in Zhang Ziyi's eyes, Lin Yuan was no longer the little boy who had no background and no resources and needed her care.

Instead, he had become a potential stock with great investment value.

Her mentality became to take the initiative and hold Lin Yuan tightly.

Lin Yuan had long been aware of her transformation, so he had been careful to keep his distance.

For example, this time when he came to Hong Kong, Zhang Ziyi had already bought a first-class ticket for him.

But Lin Yuan said that he had already bought it and he would rather take the economy class ticket he bought to Hong Kong.

"My hands are sore from holding them up. You are not gentlemanly at all." Zhang Ziyi said coquettishly when she saw that Lin Yuan did not respond to her.

Young and beautiful ladies had this privilege, and it was difficult for most men to refuse them.

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled, "I arrived very late last night, so I didn't shower. I still smell, so I won't offend you, beautiful lady."

Zhang Ziyi's eyes were fixed on him. "What does it matter? When you were covered in sweat and hugged me tightly, did I ever despise you?"

Lin Yuan was completely unable to cope with these words.

She was talking about the two passionate scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which were filmed in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, and there were no conditions for washing.

Even though they were exhausted and sweaty, they still completed the filming seriously.

This matter had already passed, and now that the woman had brought it up on her own initiative, the implication had become clear to the extreme.

Looking at Zhang Ziyi's flawless, rosy face, Lin Yuan didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

"Puff..."

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi actually laughed out loud.

She stamped her feet in frustration: "I screwed it up. I can't be so shameless. This style really doesn't suit me... I can't even seduce a man. I'm so angry..."

Zhang Ziyi's face, which was pure in desire but strong at the same time, now looked even more adorable.

Lin Yuan said sincerely: "Sister Ziyi, I respect you very much and value our friendship..."

Although he didn't want to be with Zhang Ziyi, he didn't dislike her at all in his heart, but was full of gratitude.

She was a bit utilitarian, but so what?

In this circle of fame and fortune, they were not your parents, so who didn't have some selfish motives?

Whether she was taking care of him during the filming of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or helping to set up connections some time ago, her love for Lin Yuan was genuine.

"Am I not good-looking?" Zhang Ziyi felt Lin Yuan's rejection, but still asked unwillingly.

Of course she looked good; how could he lie with his eyes open? But it wasn't a question of whether she looked good or not.

"Sister Ziyi, do you still need me to verify your beauty? But we are really not suitable."

"Since I'm so pretty, can't I just have some fun even if it's not appropriate? I don't want you to be responsible!"

"I love because I love. Feelings don't have to be generous. No one needs to give me a good time. I want you now!" Before Lin Yuan could answer, the alarm clock rang again.

It was eight o'clock, and the alarm clock reminded them that it was time to leave for the crew.

It was just these damn lyrics that made the atmosphere even more awkward...

There was already a hint of mist in Zhang Ziyi's eyes, but she stared at Lin Yuan stubbornly, waiting for him to give her an answer.

Sincerity was always the only way for people to interact with each other.

Lin Yuan said sincerely, "Sister Ziyi, I really cherish the fate of our acquaintance. I really hope that we can be lifelong friends.

I cannot frivolously impose my desires on you, nor do I want a momentary pleasure to lead us to become strangers in the end."

"Do you hate me?"

"In my heart, you've always been a gentle sister, a family-like presence. How could I possibly hate you?"

In response to Lin Yuan's words, Zhang Ziyi's eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

But she was Zhang Ziyi after all, not a delicate little girl.

After a while, she adjusted her attitude and smiled aggrievedly:

"You're such a cruel villain! Okay, I've given up. From today on, I'll only consider you my younger brother. We agreed that we'll be brother and sister for life!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sister, we will never let each other down."

"Can I hug you now?"

Zhang Ziyi opened her arms again.

This time, Lin Yuan took the initiative to step forward and gently embraced her in his arms.

Lin Yuan hugged her gently, but Zhang Ziyi hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to rub herself into his body.

"Don't move, just this once."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan stopped moving and let her hug him tightly.

After a while, Zhang Ziyi finally untied her arms and angrily punched him: "You clearly showered last night, how can you smell like that?"

Lin Yuan smiled and didn't answer.

Zhang Ziyi's expression also returned to clarity. She smiled and said, "Brother, let's go. I'll drive you to the set."

"Good!"

When Lin Yuan sat in the passenger seat and drove to the set.

He felt a little disappointed:

Today he confirmed his relationship with Zhang Ziyi as brother and sister. Did that mean they had a close relationship?

She had Type A blood, which was also the non-Type B blood required by the system.

However, no system prompt popped up to complete the task.

This meant that his attempt to exploit a loophole had failed.

Only by truly establishing an intimate relationship between men and women of the opposite sex could the mission be considered accomplished.

Damn this system, it really didn't leave any loopholes!
