   Cheng Zhi stood up. "Leaving so soon?" "If you're reluctant to part with me, I can take a nap here." Cheng Zhi walked to the door. "It's been so long since we last met, I really wanted to talk to you a little longer... If you have something to do, let's chat another time." Song Ze had his back to the door. "Do you know when I'll be back in China next time?" "When?" "At least three months from now." "And when are you leaving this time?" "My flight is early tomorrow morning." Every time, Song Ze appeared effortlessly in front of Cheng Zhi, but in reality, their daily lives were worlds apart. Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi sighed softly. Song Ze overheard her casual remark and took her hand. "If you really can't bear to part with me, I can stay a day longer." Cheng Zhi pulled her hand away and pushed him out the door. "Alright, alright, hurry up and go. See you next time." Standing outside the door, Song Ze was silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "Cheng Zhi, if you like Lin Jiayu, you might as well like me." Cheng Zhi thought of the pretty girl she met at the coffee shop last time and retorted, "Can't you like both of them?" Song Ze was taken aback, then stepped into Cheng Zhi's house and locked the door behind him. "Say that again." Cheng Zhi looked at him and said, word by word, "Can't you like both of them?" Song Ze put his hands on his hips and stared down at Cheng Zhi. "If you like him, you're not allowed to like me." Cheng Zhi chuckled. "Whether I like you or not is none of your business." Song Ze moved closer to her, and before she could back away, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her without a word. Cheng Zhi was already used to his sudden kisses, but this time, she involuntarily tried to reciprocate. Sensing the woman's immersion in his embrace, Song Ze suddenly released her, looking at her slightly closed eyes and flushed face. He warned her in a low voice, "If you like me half-heartedly, you'll pay the price." Cheng Zhi was still immersed in the passionate kiss when Song Ze slammed the door and left. Stimulated, Cheng Zhi felt a little restless. She leaned against the door for a while, glancing at the unwashed dishes on the balcony. As if waking from a dream, she laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking, what's the use of liking them? Do men like them belong to me just because I like them? They don't belong to me anyway, so what's the difference between liking one and liking ten? Cheng Zhi bent down to clean the balcony, recalling the ambiguous scene from just now, and couldn't help but curse angrily, "They're all male foxes!"

    A tale of extreme tension within the entertainment industry. The female lead is a clear-headed film director, cool and collected, with strong moral principles, focused on making money and building her career, but not on romance. The male lead is a warm and comforting top star. Initially, the female lead encounters the top star, whose acting is terrible, and often criticizes him with sharp tongues. Over time, they develop feelings for each other.

    Book 1: Short and fast-paced, starting with attraction at first sight. Both the male and female leads have clean romantic histories with no ambiguous relationships. [Cool][Cool] The female lead is unpretentious and handsome, while the male lead is a domineering CEO with a human touch. I was smiling like a proud aunt the whole time. Book 2: Disclaimer: Not a virgin story!!! Close to real life, starting with attraction at first sight and ending with a happy ending. I especially envy the best friend relationship between the two female leads.
