?Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Strange Dream   Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Strange Dream                                   Qiao Ruoxin felt a bit tired from the flight.


    She nned to take a bath and go to bed early since there was still a whole day of shooting tomorrow.


    Wearing the robe she brought, shey in bed, ready to turn off the bedsidemp, but then thought better of it.


    Whenever she stayed in a hotel alone, she hardly ever dared to turn off the lights because she was afraid of the dark, a bit of a coward really.


    Qiao Ruoxin put on her steam eye mask and then dozed off on the bed.


    In her sleep, she felt as if someone was touching her body?


    Was it an illusion?


    The sensation of being touched grew more and more real, a pair of warm,rge male hands roving over her body.


    In her sleep, she frowned in displeasure, murmuring in her dream, “Don’t… don’t touch me… stop…”


    But her body felt heavy and immovable as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis.


    She must be dreaming, right?


    If it was a dream, then she didn’t care.


    Then, the sensation grew increasingly strange, a cool and refreshing feeling was being spread on her skin, oh sofortable…


    Qiao Ruoxin wondered why this dream felt so real, she could even sense someone helping her take off her clothes and then getting dressed again.


    After who knows how long, the sensation of being touched finally stopped.


    Everything returned to normal, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep until the bright daylight.


    She was awakened by a series of doorbell rings.


    Qiao Ruoxin removed the steam eye mask from her face, thenzily got up from bed, groggy-eyed as she went to open the door.


    Standing outside were her assistant and makeup artist.


    “Ruoxin, it’s time to get up, you need to have your makeup and hair done. You have an interview with the show crew this morning.”


    “I know, I know, I’m going to wash up,” she replied, turning back to the bathroom to freshen up.


    Standing in front of the washbasin, looking at her reflection in the mirror, she saw herself in her robe.


    She couldn’t help recallingst night’s strange dream…


    Qiao Ruoxin bent her head to untie her robe’s cor, ncing at her body and furrowed her brow slightly.


    Why would she have such an odd dream, what was happening to her?


    She still faintly remembered the dream, a pair of men’s hands incessantly caressing her body, even touching her…


    Qiao Ruoxin shook her head vigorously, patting her cheeks, “So shameful, so shameful! Why would I have such dreams.”


    Did that count as an erotic dream?


    She looked at herself in the mirror, her face turning red.


    She quickly turned on the tap, sshing cold water on her face to help regain some rity.


    Butst night’s dream was just so vivid, as if a real man had stood in front of her bed, removed her robe, caressed her body back and forth, and then dressed her again before leaving.


    After freshening up, she went back to the living room and sat down in front of the makeup artist to start her makeup.


    She nced at her phone and instantly her anger rose.


    Great!


    Since yesterday, not a single call or message from Mo Chen!


    So much for the im of loving only her.


    The sincere demeanor of the past few days must have been a deception, right? As soon as she left, his true colors showed.


    Men are dogs!


    Qiao Ruoxin immediately turned off her phone, intending not to turn it on for a whole week, letting that dog of a man thoroughly damn himself.


    So, she began her day’s work.


    By evening, once again she changed her makeup and clothes, preparing to officially begin shooting for the couples’ special.


    The little assistant brought over the costumes provided by the production team, her eyes shining with excitement, “Ruoxin! This cheongsam is so beautiful! This time it’s a Republic-era themed outfit!”


    Qiao Ruoxin, who was still applying her makeup, nced over. It was a white cheongsam, adorned with a pattern of opulent peonies, every inch exuding an air of luxury.


    It was indeed pretty.


    After finishing her hair and makeup, the little assistant helped her into the cheongsam.


    Once she had slipped on the cheongsam, the assistant was dazzled, staring intently at her, “Ruoxin, even I, a woman, am struck by your beauty, you’re so gorgeous… How do you maintain such a perfect figure?”


    Qiao Ruoxin put on a pair of nude high heels, looking at her reflection in the full-length mirror. She had to admit, the cheongsam really did suit her well.


    The assistant adjusted the skirt of the dress from behind, sighing, “It’s true that people shouldn’t bepared; this tiny waist, now I truly understand the meaning of ‘a grip’s span’.”


    Sheughed softly, “Then I really shouldn’t presume, I’m quite far from having ‘a grip’s span’.”


    “Alright, let’s head out!”


    …


    In the evening, eight o’clock.


    In front of the museum, the production team had set up a huge stage.


    A few regr hosts had already made their appearance on stage, the venue was packed with a sea of people, and screams of excitement echoed from all corners, almost like at a concert for thousands.


    Among the hosts was Lu Xingyu, whose poprity was through the roof, added to that the fans of Qiao Ruoxin, the screams were deafening.


    “Lu Xingyu! Lu Xingyu!”


    “Qiao Ruoxin! Sister Qiao!!! Come out quickly!”


    “Ahhh! Lu Xingyu, you’re so handsome!”


    Lu Xingyu yelled to his fans at the venue, “I’m Lu Xingyu, I’vee to see you all! Are you happy?”


    Screams erupted on the scene, giving an illusion of an earthquake.


    The live director said, “Wee everyone to Modu. We’ve invited four guests for you, they are all leading figures in their fields, you can try to guess who they are.”


    Host 1 said, “I guess there’s the Diving Princess, and also the Mortal Princess, it’s all princesses that havee.”


    Host 2 guessed, “I think one of them is a student of our Xingyu. He really outdid himself; he even has a student who is about to be more popr than him, I heard.”


    Lu Xingyu nodded with a smile, “Yes, she now charges more than me for an appearance, it wasn’t easy to invite her.”


    The live director announced, “Let’s wee the center position debutante from ‘Idol 101’, the Mortal Princess who’s taken the entertainment world by storm, Qiao Ruoxin!”


    Then, Qiao Ruoxin walked out slowly, dressed in a white cheongsam, her figure graceful and seductive, holding a delicate folding fan in her hand, and her wavy hair rolled to the waist adding a touch of flirtation.


    The venue once again erupted into a wave of screams.


    Host 3 eximed, “Wow… She’s too beautiful, isn’t she? Is that cheongsam tailor-made for her? Oh, production team, aren’t you being a bit biased? What is this you’ve gotten us to wear?”


    Host 4 remarked, “Tsk tsk, worthy of the Mortal Princess indeed, like a human world’s bloom of wealth and beauty, pretty, pretty.”


    Lu Xingyu said with a smile, “My student is quite outstanding.”


    The live director continued, “Let’s also wee the world champion! The Olympic and Asian Games Gold Medal-winning Diving Princess, Lu Feifei!”


    Then, Lu Feifei walked out wearing a dark-colored cheongsam, but as she had been training for a long time, she had some muscles that didn’t quite suit the cheongsam.


    The live director added, “And the sister of the Diving Princess, the new star in the entertainment circle, Lu Xingxing!”


    Qiao Ruoxin maintained her smile and looked back, seeing Lu Xingxing in a dark red cheongsam, whose figure wasn’t bad either, she had quite a presence.


    Host 1 interjected, “Aren’t there four guests? Who’s thest one, hurry and bring them out.”


    The live director teased, “Thest mystery guest can indeed be said to have a bit of a quirky temper.”


    The crowd responded, “Oh? How so?”
