Chapter 27 Harassment, Second Child, Feet...

Chapter 27

In Luo Xiaoran's memory.

Chu Xingli has always been a persistent person.

Whether before they realized their feelings or after they confessed their love.

Throughout their time together, Chu Xingli displayed a passionate and clingy personality.

This was something that Luo Xiaoran found very pleasing.

"Um……"

Chu Xingli closed her eyes, her consciousness controlled by alcohol, and only felt Luo Xiaoran's lips were slightly cool.

He pressed it against it and felt very comfortable.

"I can't drink anymore." Chu Xingli was dizzy and sounded like she was admitting defeat.

"Okay, then I won't drink it." Luo Xiaoran let him press his lips against hers and coaxed him softly.

Chu Xingli relaxed and was caught by Luo Xiaoran who pressed down on her back.

Luo Xiaoran was filled with intense desire.

But compared to that, he knows better how to respect his loved one.

Chu Xingli is concerned about saving face.

It was definitely not Chu Xingli's intention to kiss him in public when she was sober.

Therefore, Luo Xiaoran felt it was very necessary and an obligation to stop him.

"Sit tight." Luo Xiaoran supported Chu Xingli's back and pressed him down onto the chair back.

Then she half-squatted in front of him, took the water cup from Lin Ning, and gently fed Chu Xingli small sips of water.

"Slow down."

When drunk, Chu Xingli was like a little robot, obediently carrying out his master's orders.

If you tell him to drink water, he drinks water; if you tell him to slow down, he slows down.

However, Luo Xiaoran's reaction caused misunderstandings among those who had never experienced warmth, prompting his die-hard fans, who had been hiding their true feelings all day, to speak up boldly.

[Oh ho, the subconscious doesn't lie, Xiao Ran actually doesn't like Chu Xingli touching him at all.]

[I'm just here to complete a task. After all, our Xiao Ran is a movie star; pretending to like her ex-husband is a piece of cake for her.]

[lhh, actually I've always thought it was just Chu Xingli's wishful thinking. Xiao Ran is kind and sentimental, so she was just going along with him.]

[Luo Xiaoran and he will definitely get a divorce (hands on hips)]

[I'll just wait here and see when they start tearing each other apart, hehehe]

The comments section of the live stream was buzzing with heated debate.

Luo Xiaoran, watching from outside the screen, was completely unaware of the situation, his gaze lingering only on Chu Xingli's lips.

It skimmed by like a dragonfly skimming the water.

It's as if they're worried that if they stay, they'll want to stay there forever, and they can only rely on self-control to get away with difficulty.

After Chu Xingli finished drinking the water, he didn't seem to be any more energetic. Instead, he turned around, took Lin Ning's hand, and praised his hand with a smile.

Like a tyrannical ruler.

Luo Xiaoran thought to himself.

Zhu Ji was extremely anxious and tried to snatch his wife's hand back, but then he remembered Luo Xiaoran's words to him on the mountain.

They had no choice but to give up, feeling wronged.

Lin Ning turned her head away and chuckled.

Initial results are visible.

Seeing that Luo Xiaoran pulled Chu Xingli away, stopping him from continuing to ask for kisses, Lu Yunxin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, she still managed to take a lot of high-definition photos amidst the chaos and shared them with her friends in the group chat.

Although this event was being broadcast live, and everyone could see it.

But nothing compares to the clarity of her photos.

After watching the commotion for a while, the pond owner couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher Chu's alcohol tolerance isn't very good."

Luo Xiaoran was afraid that the strong-willed Chu Xingli would hear this, so he smiled and covered the ears of the person in his arms, whispering to the pond owner, "Don't let him hear this, or he'll jump up and start drinking again."

Chu Xingli probably caught some of the lingering words, released Lin Ning's hand, and instead reached for the wine on the table.

Zhu Ji swiftly grabbed Lin Ning's hand and pushed aside the wine glass that Chu Xingli was about to touch, preventing Chu Xingli from drinking any more.

Just kidding, Luo Xiaoran did him a huge favor, so he had to repay Luo Xiaoran.

"Sister Lu, help me support him," Luo Xiaoran said to Lu Yunxin. "I'll go get a hot towel to wipe his face."

Lu Yunxin quickly reached out to help him: "Go on, go on."

The way she looked at Hug was so intense, she practically wanted to devour him.

I won't say who's head over heels in love with him.

I don't want to emphasize how meticulous Ranzi is anymore; I'm talking about the details.

[Daily Prayer: When God bestows upon me a boyfriend, please let him meet the standards of Ranzi Ge.]

[Turn the live stream to silent and listen to the sound of Ranzi Ge's toxic fan breaking down (#^.^#)]

Chu Xingli was supported by Lu Yunxin, but she consciously tried to maintain a polite and safe distance from her sister.

He tried to sit up straight in the chair, his head tilted slightly due to the alcohol.

Their gaze followed the direction in which Luo Xiaoran disappeared.

Lin Ning thought he looked rather cute.

He took out his phone and snapped a picture of Chu Xingli waiting for Luo Xiaoran, planning to forward it to Luo Xiaoran later when he had the chance.

Luo Xiaoran returned quickly.

Driven by his drunkenness, Chu Xingli gave a silly smile.

Just as he was about to call out to Luo Xiaoran, his view was blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared from the side.

Chu Xingli's smile vanished instantly, and she glared unhappily at the back of the head that was blocking her view.

Ever since he accidentally injured Luo Xiaoran yesterday, Zhao Anyu has been trying to do something to salvage his image.

More than feeling guilty towards Luo Xiaoran, he was worried that his fans would hate him and that Luo Xiaoran's fans would verbally attack him.

Moreover, he was very confident that the reason why Luo Xiaoran forgave him so easily when he apologized before was not just because Luo Xiaoran was too lazy to hold it against him.

Instead, she also held a considerable amount of goodwill towards him.

If I can really seize this hard-won opportunity, I can completely break away from my original company after the show ends and cling to Luo Xiaoran, this real cash cow.

Under the influence of this panicked and agitated state, Zhao Anyu did not see Chu Xingli staggering towards Luo Xiaoran.

Turning around, she nearly bumped into Chu Xingli.

Even when drunk, Chu Xingli always kept in mind her mission to protect Luo Xiaoran.

Seeing Zhao Anyu approach Luo Xiaoran, he ignored the fact that he almost stumbled from being bumped by Zhao Anyu and looked him straight in the eye: "What do you want to do?"

The feeling of being caught red-handed trying to seduce someone's husband made Zhao Anyu shudder, and he dared not answer Chu Xingli's question.

Luo Xiaoran didn't even glance at him. He put his arm around Chu Xingli's waist and, together with Lu Yunxin who had caught up, helped him back.

What is he doing?

[Could she be trying to seduce Luo Xiaoran?]

[I've noticed that Zhao Anyu isn't hiding anything at all, is he?]

[It's highly likely that when he and Chen Xuanqi apologized to Luo Xiaoran, Luo Xiaoran's attitude wasn't that harsh, which led him to misunderstand something.]

[Can't you look in the mirror? How dare you misunderstand Luo Xiaoran's feelings for him? (laughs)]

Since today is the last day of recording for this episode, everyone is as excited as elementary school students who are about to have their winter or summer vacation.

Even Zhu Ji was willing to briefly share a drink and chat with Bao Keming.

"Brother Da Niu, if you ask me, when it comes to eating mushrooms, you have to choose the 'Jian Shou Bo' variety."

From the conversation, Bao Keming learned that Zhu Ji was completely ignorant about the domestic mushroom culture.

Therefore, he couldn't help but show off again, preparing to give Zhu Ji a good talk about which mushrooms are truly delicious.

“I’ve also eaten a type of mushroom called Boletus edulis,” Bao Keming said. Having been accustomed to delicacies, he naturally knows the freshness of mushrooms. “That was truly amazing. I’ve never forgotten it since I ate it once.”

"Director, when can we eat them?" Zhu Ji was teased by Bao Keming and his mouth was watering. However, he asked the director because he wanted Lin Ning to eat the delicious mushrooms as soon as possible.

The director had anticipated that the group would be unable to resist their cravings, so he made sure the entire process was handled very carefully.

"The mushroom hot pot must be cooked under the supervision of professionals before it can be brought over for everyone to taste, otherwise it would be troublesome if someone gets poisoned."

Lu Yunxin hadn't eaten these mushrooms much before, so she was very curious about them.

"Poisonous?" Lu Yunxin looked excited and expectant. "How poisonous can it be?"

The director smiled and gave her an example: "For instance, there's a type of mushroom called 'Jianshouqing'. I heard that someone ate an undercooked one and ended up in the hospital having to have their stomach pumped and saved."

Lu Yunxin's eyes widened in surprise.

Is it that serious?

"But its taste is very good. Although everyone's taste is different, some people may think it is not that fresh," the director sighed. "But most people who have eaten Boletus luridus have an unforgettable taste. Just you wait and see, Sister Lu."

“Yes, you can’t be careless when eating mushrooms,” Zhou Maidong kept nagging like an old father in front of the excited Lu Yunxin, “It would be troublesome if you got poisoned.”

Lu Yunxin was already resentful today because Zhou Maidong refused to pick mushrooms and insisted on going fishing instead.

He simply ignored Zhou Maidong's words and turned a deaf ear to them.

Full of joy, I made preparations, planning to have a good look at this incredibly delicious Boletus luridus later.

[Doesn't Sister Lu know that some mushrooms are highly poisonous?]

Even if you knew, you probably wouldn't believe it without seeing it with your own eyes.

[Actually, it's understandable. Sister Lu doesn't know much because she started acting in her teens to pay off debts.]

Sisters, you absolutely MUST cook the Bok Choy thoroughly! Please, please! Don't take any chances!

[Indeed, raise your hand if you've ever been poisoned by Boletus edulis. I didn't think much of it after eating it, thinking it couldn't be that serious, until I saw my grandma's pig walk in wearing an apron and ask me, "Are you on vacation?"]

Just as Luo Xiaoran helped the person back to their seat, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and his expression hardened.

Perhaps the investigation he sent had made progress.

"Hug me, I'm going out to take a very important call," Luo Xiaoran patted Chu Xingli's shoulder, signaling him not to wander off. "Just sit here and wait for me to come back, okay?"

In the early stages of his intoxication, Chu Xingli was very obedient. He looked up at Luo Xiaoran and nodded honestly, "Okay."

Luo Xiaoran gently stroked Chu Xingli's forehead: "Wait for me to come back in a little while, and I'll make you a bowl of hangover soup."

But once she sobers up, she won't cling to him like that anymore.

Luo Xiaoran's eyes darkened.

He took a deep breath and regulated his breathing.

During this time, Luo Xiaoran has been relying on himself to comfort himself to prevent his emotions from completely collapsing.

The matter of guiding Chu Xingli to regain his memories has always been a belief he has steadfastly pursued.

Chu Xingli held a glass of warm water and drank it slowly, blinking blankly, not knowing what Luo Xiaoran was saying to him.

But no matter what Luo Xiaoran said, he obediently responded.

He didn't refute a single word.

【Ahhh, you're so sweet, I want to hug you and kiss you o(╥﹏╥)o】

[Luo Xiaoran, the moment you stepped out the door, I rushed over to steal a hug.]

Sorry everyone, you're all too late. I can climb the pipe really fast!

I must find a wife like this in my lifetime.

Please do not attempt to achieve immortality through this method.

[Aren't those who hoped for a loving couple to break up proven wrong? The resounding slaps aren't they?]

After watching Luo Xiaoran leave the room, Chu Xingli was about to pull Lin Ning aside for a chat.

Suddenly, I heard my phone vibrate.

It's a notification message from the Guala app.

Chu Xingli rubbed his eyes, opened the chat interface, and checked the work report that Taotie had given him.

Normally, Chu Xingli is able to handle these kinds of messages calmly most of the time.

When Chu Xingli heard what Taotie had told him today, he couldn't hold back any longer and angrily slapped his thigh.

"That's outrageous!"

Seeing this, Lin Ning quickly put down her water glass.

He was surprised and took Chu Xingli's hand, gently rubbing his reddened palm, then massaging his thigh, which must have been numb with pain, and asked:

"Xingli, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Chu Xingli pointed at the chat box on the screen, so angry that she became incoherent: "He actually, he actually harassed other artists in our company!"

His words were so explosive that everyone in the room turned to look at him as soon as he finished speaking.

They looked at each other, each seemingly having a guilty conscience.

[Quickly tell us!!! Who's harassing whom?! Tell us all!!!]

[An artist from the Chu Group? Let me think, who could be the artist who could make Bao Bao this angry?]

[To be this angry, one must be a big shot.]

But why do all these people look so nervous?

[Just kidding. With the Chu family as his backing, if he were to reveal something substantial, who wouldn't be scared?]

[Oh my god, wife, tell us quickly!!! Let us hear what the juicy gossip is!!!]

"He even got someone pregnant and she had two children."

Chu Xingli seemed genuinely angry, pressing her hand firmly against her chest twice in an attempt to calm her turbulent emotions.

Just as he was starting to feel better, he saw the message on the screen again, and his anger returned.

Lin Ning maintained a polite attitude and never glanced at Chu Xingli's screen.

No matter how curious you are, you shouldn't pry into other people's secrets.

...But he can ask.

Lin Ning looked around and received probing glances from everyone in the room.

Clearly, everyone was pinning their hopes on him.

But he seemed to be both afraid and hopeful.

It's true that human nature is to love gossip.

Hoping to see others make a fool of themselves is more likely to lead to their own embarrassing moments.

I'd rather endure this pressure than miss out on this thrill.

Lin Ning took a deep breath and asked Chu Xingli, "Xingli, who made whom have two children?"

"That's not all!!" Chu Xingli pointed at the message on the screen and repeated it to Lin Ning word by word, "He was also juggling two or three relationships at the same time, and even betrayed his own companions!"

Lin Ning: "???"

[Companion? New information obtained, go check it out!!!]

Is it a boy band or a girl group?

[My God, they've gotten to the point where they're biting each other! Won't they be disfigured?!]

[Brother Ranzi, come back quickly and give Baobao a bowl of hangover soup! I desperately need to know the details of this juicy gossip!!!]

[And it sounds like it's the same person?]

Harassment, having a second child, cheating on two or three women, tearing each other apart – this sounds like a criminal offense. Let's wait and see how this person ends up in jail (*￣︶￣) ]

"Who was that..." Lin Ning paused to find the right words, "Who bit whom?"

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of person would use their teeth to bite someone during a provocation or fight.

That must have been a really bad beating; there must have been bloodshed.

Lin Ning thought to herself, still shaken.

"Xingli, have a bowl of hangover soup," Lu Yunxin said, clearly also eager to know who Chu Xingli was talking about. She quickly went to the kitchen and brought over a bowl of just the right amount of hangover soup. "I just tried it, and it's quite delicious."

Chu Xingli was sobered up a little by the anger.

Seeing the bowl that Sister Lu was holding, he thanked her, took it, and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing the soup and moistening her throat, Chu Xingli continued the topic, saying with great distress, "He was my favorite Border Collie. He was smart, handsome, optimistic, and generous. I am really disappointed in him."

Lin Ning, who was tilting her head to listen to the gossip, almost twisted her neck and exclaimed in shock, "Border Collie?"

Chu Xingli nodded, then sighed: "It seems I need to have a serious talk with Qiancheng's owner this time. After doing something like this, it will be very difficult for Qiancheng to maintain its standing in the dog world in the future."

Zhu Ji began to doubt his own Chinese, turning to look at Bao Keming: "Was he speaking Chinese?"

Bao Keming seemed relieved, a little relieved but also a little disappointed.

However, he was still able to give Zhu Ji a normal answer: "I'm also thinking about this question."

Lu Yunxin and Zhou Maidong are not promiscuous; they are upright and have nothing to fear. They are laughing like a boiling kettle.

Zhao Anyu loosened his grip on the corner of the table, exchanged a glance with Chen Xuanqi, and looked so nervous he was about to collapse.

[Hahahaha, help! It's a dog!!!]

[hahaha, although it's wrong, the terms harassment, having a second child, having two or three relationships at the same time, and tearing apart your partner suddenly seem reasonable.]

Whether human or dog, scum must be punished! Also, Zhao Anyu's expression is suspicious; I suggest a thorough investigation!

[This contract must be terminated! Look how angry this has made my wife; she refuses to work with this scumbag!!!]

[No, hug me, you're eating the puppy's melon too? Hahaha, that's hilarious!]

[Oh right, Chu's Group also makes pet supplies. The dog they use is often a super beautiful Border Collie named Qiancheng. The hug I'm referring to is probably him.]

The effects of fruit wine come on quickly and go off quickly.

It's been over an hour since we started drinking.

With the hangover soup that Sister Lu had just brought over, Chu Xingli's consciousness cleared up considerably.

What puzzled Chu Xingli was that he had just sent a message to Qiancheng's owner, telling him to handle the matter seriously, otherwise the cooperation with Qiancheng would be canceled.

The next second I put down my phone, I felt my heart beating much faster.

My vision was also blurry in waves.

I feel even more unwell than after drinking a few glasses of wine.

...Could it be that he was angered by Qiancheng's actions?

This only lasted for about ten minutes, it shouldn't have been that serious.

"Sister Lu," Chu Xingli turned to look at Lu Yunxin, "what did I just drink?"

“A hangover soup,” Lu Yunxin replied readily.

Chu Xingli didn't hear clearly, paused for a moment, and asked again, "What?"

Lu Yunxin repeated, "It's hangover soup. Xiao Ran said he'd make it for you when he got back before he went out to answer the phone."

She added, "I just went to the kitchen and saw a few bowls there, so I brought them over. We both just had several glasses of fruit wine, so a bowl each will help us sober up."

Just then, a loud inquiry came from the kitchen.

"How come only two of my five bowls of fresh mushroom soup are left?! Who took them away?! I wanted to reheat them!"

Lin Ning was observant and had a keen ear; she immediately sensed something was wrong.

He hurriedly turned to Lu Yunxin and asked, "Sister Lu, are you sure you just served 'hangover soup' and not 'fresh mushroom soup'?"

Lu Yunxin fell into self-doubt: "...I just heard the chef in the kitchen say that this is a hangover soup, so I brought it over...Did I hear wrong?"

Lin Ning asked incredulously, "Didn't Xiao Ran just say 'hangover soup'? The chef seemed to have called it 'fresh mushroom soup'?"

Lu Yunxin gasped in shock.

"Xingli! Spit it out!"

Wait a minute, wasn't he drinking hangover soup? How could he be poisoned?

[This is hilarious! These two people seem to have confused "hangover soup" and "fresh mushroom soup" in their mishearing.]

So, what Sister Lu brought over for Bao Bao to drink was fresh mushroom soup? Or perhaps a kind of herb soup?!

[Sister Lu: Oh no! Someone's trying to harm my brother and me!]

However, it was too late.

Chu Xingli's already unclear consciousness became even more blurred after being stimulated by that large bowl of soup.

The behavior also gradually became uncontrollable. The fingertips touched the keyboard on the screen, but no matter how many times they clicked, they just couldn't type a whole sentence.

"I... I drank one bowl and it felt so fresh, so I drank another one," Lu Yunxin said worriedly, looking at Chu Xingli who was fiddling with her phone and not saying anything. "I drank more than Xingli and I'm fine, so Xingli should be fine too, right?"

Chu Xingli still had a little bit of her mind left. Upon hearing this, she turned her head to comfort Sister Lu, her tone calm: "Sister Lu, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright."

Lu Yunxin gave a stiff smile, then looked at Lin Ning, trying to find some sense of security.

Lin Ning was extremely nervous: "...Probably. Xing Li looks so calm, she doesn't seem like someone who's been poisoned by the internet and is now looking for villains everywhere."

Bao Keming became unusually nervous: "We can't speak too soon."

The Chu family's son got drunk and then poisoned, causing suffering for more than just himself.

And everyone present and everyone else who wasn't there.

Who in the entertainment industry can be completely clean? If he were to blurt it out while in a daze, it could really cause serious problems.

[Oh my god, how did things turn out like this? Was it because he drank a lot of alcohol?]

[...Could it really be mushroom soup poisoning?]

[That's risky, that's a potent herbal remedy for treating hand ailments!]

Just as Bao Keming finished thinking about it, Chu Xingli confirmed it for him in the next second.

“There’s a boy band, six people, this time they really are people…” Chu Xingli put down his phone and pulled Lin Ning aside to tell him.

He held up nine fingers, then lowered his head and pressed two back down, saying to Lin Ning, "I secretly had seven children, five of them my boss's."

Lin Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and worriedly helped Chu Xingli up: "Xingli, are you tired?"

Why are you starting to talk nonsense?

Did you not get a good night's rest last night?

Could I really be poisoned?

Zhao Anyu heard it clearly and stammered out, "...It seems like Xing Li is talking about my former teammate."

After he finished speaking, he realized what he had done, and quickly covered his mouth, looking around as if afraid that someone would discover that he had spoken.

Even Qiao Manyun panicked, fearing that Chu Xingli might say something inappropriate in a moment of excitement.

Chu Xingli only focuses on outputting information and doesn't wait for feedback.

"Now let me tell you a super explosive piece of gossip," Chu Xingli said, almost pressing the phone screen to her face, speaking in a clear and authoritative tone, "Tremble, entertainment industry, your judge is back."

"Last year, two of Chu's dairy product spokespeople got into a fight in my office. When I tried to break it up, they almost slapped me, but luckily I dodged quickly."

"Zhu Che, who was exposed last year for having an affair and committing bigamy, poured boiling water on my asparagus fern at the front desk of my hotel and killed it. Later, he was arrested for tax evasion."

"At this juncture," Chu Xingli stood up, picked up a porcini mushroom from somewhere and used it as a microphone, waving his hand dismissively, "I'll tell you another story, a story about being cuckolded!"

Qiao Manyun turned pale with fright and jumped to her feet, almost screaming, "This is definitely poisoning! Quick, get Xingli to the hospital!"

[Oh my god, I'm totally addicted to hugs! Ranzi, come back soon!]

Who said these mushrooms are poisonous? These mushrooms are amazing!

What is Qiao Manyun so nervous about? Does Bao Bao have some kind of leverage over her?

When the "Hugging Mushroom" poisons and causes hallucinations, the scariest person isn't Luo Xiaoran, but rather those celebrities whose scandals haven't been exposed yet (doge).

[Tremble, Chinese entertainment industry! Welcome your mushroom judge!!!]
