46: Chapter 46 You still know you're embarrassed to sleep in your brother's bed?
"Wait a second!"
Seeing the girl about to close the door, Chen Xuan quickly called out to her, then took out her phone to double-check the house number.
"It's definitely here..." Chen Xuan muttered. Then, she peered into the room. "I'm looking for... that very popular celebrity, Su Su."
Jiang Ning frowned. "Big sister, are you joking with me? How could my house possibly have..."
Halfway through, Jiang Ning looked at the woman in front of her and suddenly paused.
Just as Chen Xuan started to feel uncomfortable under her gaze, she saw Jiang Ning widen her eyes and look at her. "You... your surname is Chen?"
Chen Xuan was stunned, then nodded.
"You're that assistant of Su Su's?!" Jiang Ning's voice went up an octave.
She had been too busy being angry and jealous earlier, but now she finally realized that the woman inside the room looked familiar, and the woman in front of her also looked familiar.
After Chen Xuan nodded again, Jiang Ning couldn't help but let out an "Ah!"
This woman was the same assistant of Su Su's that she had seen chatting with her brother two days ago, the one she had called "not very pretty" after reading the messages.
If she is Su Su's assistant, then the one in the room...
Chen Xuan was completely baffled. Why did this girl feel a bit... not quite right?
Before she could speak, the next second, Jiang Ning had already turned and run back into the room, not even closing the door...
Returning to the doorway, Jiang Ning clenched her hands nervously, her face flushed red. She stared straight at Su Su, and after two seconds, let out a loud cry and rushed over.
Just as Su Su's face turned pale with fright, fearing that this girl might give her a headbutt too, Jiang Ning had already rushed up and hugged her tightly.
"It's Su Su! It's really Su Su! Am I dreaming?"
Jiang Che, who had finally recovered his senses, managed to crawl out of bed. That hit from the Stinky Girl earlier had made everything go black, and he had almost fainted.
But now that he was sitting up, he saw Chen Xuan walk to the door, and then... Jiang Ning, the culprit, was standing by the bed, hugging Su Su and shouting with excitement.
"What's going on? Who am I? Where am I?"
Su Su was also embarrassed. How could this girl be so unpredictable? She was about to cry a moment ago, but now... she was hugging her and jumping around?
After a long while, Su Su finally recovered from Jiang Ning's enthusiasm. Gently pushing away the star-struck Jiang Ning, she smiled politely. "Hello, I'm Su Su..."
"My name is Jiang Ning!" Jiang Ning immediately replied.
"I know, you are his younger sister. I've heard about you."
Hearing Su Su say this, Jiang Ning immediately widened her eyes. "You, you've heard of me?"
Su Su smiled awkwardly, then looked at Jiang Che. "Your brother's colleagues mentioned you. They all said you were very pretty, and seeing you now, you really are."
Being complimented by her idol, Jiang Ning was at a loss for what to do. It took her several seconds to shyly say, "No way, they were just joking. Sister Su Su, you're the one who is truly pretty, even prettier than on TV."
Su Su was long used to being complimented, but she could tell that the eyes of this innocent girl in front of her held no flattery or sycophancy; she simply truly thought she was pretty.
Su Su felt a bit happy too. Looking at the girl in front of her, who was also very pretty and possessed a bit more innocence and naturalness than the other actresses she worked with, she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently touch her face. "In the future, you will be just as pretty as me."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning beamed and nodded vigorously.
But as she smiled, Jiang Ning suddenly frowned slightly. "Sister Su Su, how come... you're in my brother's room?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan at the door also widened her eyes. Her gaze, full of suspicion, darted back and forth between Jiang Che and Su Su, finally landing on Jiang Che's bed.
"I... I came over to find your brother for something."
Jiang Ning heard this and finally realized that her brother was still in the room. She turned her head and saw her brother looking at her and Su Su with a completely bewildered expression.
After two seconds of silence, Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Che with a cute expression. "Brother, why are you sitting on the bed? Is something the matter?"
Su Su looked strange, and Jiang Che had black lines all over his face as he grumbled:
"Are you crazy? Why did you headbutt me the moment you came in?"
After he finished, Jiang Ning blinked her eyes and said with an innocent face: "How is that possible? I'm a girl, how could I do such a rude thing?"
Jiang Che: "..."
Su Su: "..."
Chen Xuan: "?"
From being angry and aggrieved at the beginning to being happy and innocent now, this girl had only taken less than a minute.
To ease the awkwardness, Su Su took the initiative to speak: "I came to deliver some signed photos to your brother. I happened to be passing by nearby, so I stopped by."
After saying this, Su Su looked at Chen Xuan, feeling a bit guilty.
Chen Xuan looked at Su Su speechlessly. Passing by? You specifically took a taxi to come here, didn't you?
Hearing Su Su's words, Jiang Ning got excited again: "Signed photos?!"
"Yes, your brother said your roommate wanted some too, and that you were short by two?"
While speaking, Su Su took out the envelope from earlier and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. After taking the envelope, she happily hugged Su Su's arm and jumped up.
"Little Sister Jiang Ning, can you keep my appearance at your home today a secret? Aside from the people in this room, you can't tell anyone else."
"No problem! I won't say a single word!" Because she was excited, Jiang Ning's face turned red, and she immediately raised her hand to swear.
Hearing Jiang Ning's promise, Su Su felt relieved. Then, she looked at Jiang Che and Jiang Ning, smiled, and said softly: "Well, Chen Xuan and I will head back now. You two... get some rest early."
"I, I'm heading back to school right away too."
"Hmm?" Su Su was a bit stunned. "Didn't you just say you were staying the night to sleep with your brother?"
Hearing Su Su say the words 'sleep with your brother', Jiang Ning's face turned bright red. "I, I'm taking this back for my roommate."
Su Su nodded with a smile upon hearing this, then glanced at Jiang Che again. "Chen Xuan and I are leaving."
"Do you need me to see you off?"
"No need, Chen Xuan can just hail a taxi, it's very convenient."
Su Su and Chen Xuan left. Jiang Ning looked at the envelope in her hand, feeling incredibly happy.
And Jiang Che... rubbed his chest, which was still a bit sore. "Going back this late? Didn't you say you were afraid of the dark?"
Jiang Ning's ears turned red, and she muttered softly:
"I'm not going back..."
"Hmm? Didn't you just tell Su Su you were taking this back to your roommate?"
"I was doing that on purpose, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if she knew I was sleeping with you..."
Jiang Che: "..."
You girl, so you do know it's embarrassing to sleep in your brother's bed?
