151 The Rivals Encounter (1/2)

Zhou Zhenya's eyes sparkled while her mouth was covered by her brother's friend. She removed the hand when the door behind her closed.

”So... Big sis, why are you disguised?” Her curiosity was to the max, wondering why such a pretty girl would put on makeup to dampen her own appearance.

Lin Guiying was stumped. Not one person before this little girl had questioned her disguised appearance, and as such she had no idea how to explain it.

”Er, it's, uh... Wait!”

She recalled the rules set by her manager. No one in her school should know of her disguise, else she needed to transfer immediately.

However, this little girl looked like she was in elementary, no way was she a student of her high school.

'That means... I should just tell her, right?'

Seeing the big sis contemplating in front of her made Zhou Zhenya a little impatient. 'If it's a secret, then she should just say so! I won't pry anymore if it is. Well, in the first place, her being embarrassed when I pointed it out makes it obvious it's supposed to be a secret...'

Just as she was about to talk, Lin Guiying interrupted her train of thoughts.

”Okay, okay. I've decided, I'm gonna tell you.”

Zhou Zhenya's impatience disappeared that instant. Her eyes were filled with anticipation once more.

”Well, I'm pretty popular here and there.” Lin Guiying gave a vague answer.

Zhou Zhenya was not satisfied. ”So, a celebrity then?”

Biting her lip, Lin Guiying gave a reluctant answer. ”...Yes.”

The little girl's eyes widened. ”Which one?”

Lin Guiying hesitated for a moment. Even though it seemed like she found a loophole and was technically allowed to disclose her identity to Zhou Zhenya, she knew that if Shao Lingxin found out, she would still be reprimanded...

'...Ah, to hell with it!'

She glanced at the door, making sure it was tightly shut. ”Don't tell your brother, okay?”

Zhou Zhenya nodded fiercely. If her brother wasn't allowed to know about it, then it must be a dark secret! A secret between girls!

Finally finding her resolve, Lin Guiying took a deep breath. She inched her face closer to Zhou Zhenya's ear. ”My real name is... Lin Guiying.”

.....

In the living room.

Zhou Lei stared at Jiang Zi Yun. He couldn't take her eyes off her, his whole body frozen in place.

”Leilei...” Jiang Zi Yun filled up with embarrassment when she noticed Zhou Lei ogling- ahem, observing her.

She worked hard to suppress turning her head away. ”Lei? Are you there? Earth, earth to Zhou Lei.”

Shaking his head, Zhou Lei snapped out of his daze and cleared his throat. ”Ah, Zi Yun... So, my sister gave you a makeover, huh.”
