Yun Qing was born with unparalleled beauty. She has always been adored by others, never the one to highlight them. Who knew that one day, someone would tell her she was merely a willful cannon fodd...
Father Yun: "Second son, go upstairs and call that guy down."
Yun Yu feigned ignorance: "Who is it?"
Seeing his pretentious manner, Yun's father got angry and picked up the feather duster on the sofa: "Who did you say it was? If you have no memory, I'll give you a wake-up call."
Yun Yu immediately jumped to the other side of the sofa: "No need, no need, I remember now, you mean Shen Huai, right? My little sister bought him a cell phone and got him a SIM card. I just added him on WeChat in the kitchen, and I'll send him a message to come over now."
Yun Xiao looked at her mischievous younger brother with curiosity: "I didn't realize you were so thoughtful."
Yun Yu: "Of course, I'm a beauty by the sea and a little whirlwind in the fishing village. There are many other skills you don't know about me."
Yunmu covered her mouth and laughed: "If you are a flower, then what is our Qingqing?"
Yun Yu's eyes lit up: "You mean my little sister? She's a fairy from heaven. Comparing her to a flower would be an understatement."
Yun's father snorted and put down the feather duster: "You did tell the truth."
A short while later, Shen Huai came down the stairs. He now exuded a solemn aura, completely different from his previous appearance.
Clearly, his foolishness only existed in front of Yun Qing.
To others, he has always been a serious person. After all, in their circle, an actor's image influences the audience's evaluation of their acting skills to a certain extent.
So at this moment, in front of the Yun family, he maintained his usual image. The Yun family wasn't stupid; they must have recognized him long ago.
Sure enough, the atmosphere in the living room was very serious. The Yun family members looked at him and sat up straight.
Mr. Yun spoke first: “Mr. Shen, please have a seat.”
Shen Huai awkwardly sat down on the sofa. Seeing Yun's parents, he felt a kind of nervousness, like meeting his future in-laws.
Looking at the Yun family members staring at him, Shen Huai raised his hand and clenched his fist: "Ahem. Thank you all for your hospitality today. I wonder what you need me for? I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
Upon hearing this, the Yun family members' eyes lit up; who wouldn't want to watch the drama unfold?
Yun Yu, the little whirlwind from the fishing village, struck first: "First of all, I want to know, how did you fall into the sea?"
Shen Huai frowned slightly: "This is a long story. I was filming a scene where I fall into the water in a nearby town. Because my back was not good before, I planned to use a stunt double. But my agent suddenly received news that a colleague bought a smear article saying that I often use stunt doubles and am not professional. So I had to do it myself. I didn't expect that someone would tamper with the props, and I accidentally fell into the water."
Yun Xiao: "So that's how it is. You're quite lucky to be alive."
Shen Huai was speechless and could only give an awkward laugh.
"You can't say that. The place where I was filming was quite close to here, and this area is shallow water. Plus, I'm a pretty good swimmer, so I managed to stay in the sea for a long time. Luckily, I saw your yacht before I passed out from exhaustion, so I desperately grabbed onto the fishing net underwater."
Yun Yu nodded: "I see. I was wondering why you didn't seem to have any drowning symptoms when we pulled you out."
“That’s right, but I haven’t formally thanked you yet.” Shen Huai stood up and bowed solemnly to Yun Yu.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yun, for saving my life. If there is anything you need, I will do my best to help you as long as it is within my power."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yu was about to wave his hand in refusal when his father pinched him and frantically winked at him.
"Oh, well, I happen to need your help with something."
Shen Huai had a bad feeling: "Please speak."
Following his father's instructions, Yun Yu said, "It's like this, my younger sister is mischievous. What she said about making you a servant was just a joke. You don't need to stay here and play along with her nonsense just because you saved her life. You should go back to work as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, what Yun Yu was talking about was asking him to leave Yun Qing. Shen Huai's heart skipped a beat: "No way."
Yun family: ?
Seeing their suspicious expressions, Shen Huai took a deep breath.
"Actually, I didn't stay here for Yun Qing's sake. Regarding the drowning incident, I suspect someone wants to harm me, and this person might even be someone I know. So I can't go back for now. I'll leave after I've ensured my safety."
Yun Xiao: "I never imagined that your industry was so dangerous. When we were kids, we used to joke about making our little sister an actress. Luckily, she didn't."
Yun's father had originally decided to make Shen Huai leave no matter what, but after hearing about his experience, he felt embarrassed to say it and could only give him a heads-up in advance.
"You can stay at our house for now, but I have something to ask you. You don't have any improper thoughts about my daughter, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao felt that her father's worries were a bit unnecessary: "Dad, what are you saying? Shen Yingdi is so much older than my little sister, he must treat her as a junior."
So many? Shen Huai didn't know where Yun Xiao got this conclusion from. He had already learned on the way that Yun Qing had graduated from university a year ago.
I haven't even turned 30 yet, which is only seven years younger than my actual age, so how could I be considered a generation apart?
Shen Huai felt he had to prove himself: "Mr. Yun, if I may ask, do I look old?"
Yun Xiao: "You don't look old at all. You take very good care of yourself and you don't look your age at all."
Shen Huai: "So what do you think my real age is?"
Yun Xiao: "I haven't specifically looked into that, but I grew up watching your shows. So, you must be about as young as my dad, right? Of course, you look much younger than him."
Shen Huai: Thank you so much.
How can he explain that he debuted at the age of sixteen playing adult roles?
It seems there's no way to explain it, because that's how he looked back then, and he hasn't changed at all over the years.
No wonder people think he's well-preserved; it turns out he grew up too fast as a child.
Seeing Shen Huai's face turn green after Yun Xiao's words, He Yao laughed for a while before quickly stepping in to smooth things over, after all, she was a loyal fan of Shen Huai's acting skills.
"Xiao Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? Teacher Shen just debuted earlier; he's actually half a year younger than you."
Yun's father, Yun Xiao, and Yun Yu: "We really can't tell! You really need to take better care of yourself."
Shen Huai: Is this situation going to continue indefinitely?
