100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in Chapter 20.2: Love Can Be Bought (2)

Ji Fanyin’s seat was in the last few rows, but it wasn’t uncomfortable or anything. She was so focused on the movie that she didn’t even notice that the person sitting next to her had swapped with someone else halfway through the movie. 

It was only when the ending credits started rolling that Ji Fanyin finally let out a deep breath.
