Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
Yin Chengjue rushed around and finally managed to move all the equipment needed for the new company before noon. His usually stern face finally showed a smile. After waving his hand to announce that he would leave work early, the new employees cheered happily. They were so happy that he could leave early without having to stay for meetings or anything that would drag on. It was simply wonderful!
Yin Chengjue drove out of the underground parking garage. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw someone waving on the roadside. Yin Chengjue thought to himself that he was not a taxi and should not block the person from calling for a taxi. So he stepped on the gas and the car sped away into the distance.
A cloud of dust rose from behind the car.
Female employee wearing a tight-fitting mini skirt: "..."
"Pfft." A female employee in sportswear who happened to be coming out of the company entrance witnessed all of this and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
As luck would have it, she was the one Yin Chengjue had just asked to teach this female employee in the short skirt how to change clothes so that it would be easier to move things.
Realizing she was being mocked, the female employee in the short skirt turned and glared fiercely at the female employee in the tracksuit before quickly walking away in her high heels, as if she weren't the one who had just been clutching her calf and pretending to have sprained it.
"Liao Fei, what's wrong?" Several male and female employees who were going out to have dinner after get off work came out one after another. When they saw Liao Fei standing at the door smiling, they asked her.
"It's nothing, it's just that some people's petty tricks didn't work out, and they ended up getting nothing but trouble," Liao Fei said meaningfully, still remembering the glare that the female employee in the short skirt had given her earlier.
"Isn't that Xiao Yanyan? I think she's the one our boss hired as an assistant." A male employee who was in charge of organizing files remembered the name.
Liao Fei laughed and said, "I guess the boss just wanted to find someone to share the workload, but some people seem to have misunderstood."
"I bet a cup of coffee that the boss didn't even recognize her face when he hired her. He doesn't even remember that Xiao Yanyan was the one he hired as his secretary," the male employee organizing the files said confidently.
Liao Fei asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Male employee: "Based on my sixth sense!"
The others laughed: "I bet two cups of coffee that the boss definitely remembers her, he just doesn't show it. Look at the boss, he's obviously someone who doesn't show his emotions!"
Liao Fei: "I bet one lunch that the boss really doesn't remember Xiao Yanyan."
Others also placed bets.
Unaware that his employees had bet on his memory, Yin Chengjue was currently pushing a cart and strolling through the market.
"Young man, you're here to buy groceries again!" The old lady carrying the basket greeted him with a smile.
Yin Chengjue frequented this vegetable market, and over time, almost everyone, from regular shoppers to vendors, came to know him.
They didn't know Yin Chengjue's name, but because he was handsome, they kept calling him "Little Handsome Guy".
This is an old market. Most people who like to come here are of square dancing age and don't surf the internet, so they naturally wouldn't know Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue nodded to the old lady: "Yes, I want to eat something nourishing today."
The old lady had a kind face and a gentle smile: "Is your wife on holiday tomorrow? It's good to have a holiday, so she can rest more and not be tired."
Yin Chengjue was puzzled: "...He didn't get a holiday. He still has to go to work early tomorrow morning."
The old lady's smiling eyes opened slightly as she looked Yin Chengjue up and down, and exclaimed, "Oh, youth is truly wonderful."
Yin Chengjue was completely bewildered.
The old lady walked away with her hands behind her back, the groceries she was carrying swaying behind her, looking quite leisurely.
Yin Chengjue looked at her retreating figure with a puzzled expression, then glanced at his own cart. He then realized that the mutton vendor had used a transparent bag to pack the mutton for him, and the mutton penis had been added later, so it was naturally placed on top...
Yin Chengjue silently picked up the other dishes and placed the bag of mutton underneath.
After her acting class, Rong Yu immediately changed her clothes, covered her face and head, and only after making sure she wouldn't be recognized did she take a car back to Yin Chengjue's house.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a delicious fragrance.
Saliva instantly filled my mouth uncontrollably.
Rong Yu kicked off her shoes, put on the slippers placed by the door, threw the bag on her shoulder onto the sofa, and ran into the kitchen with a thud.
Two seconds later, Rong Yu was carried out by Yin Chengjue and thrown into the sofa.
Yin Chengjue poured a glass of juice and placed it on the table in front of Rong Yu, saying, "Don't rush, it's not cooked yet. I'll bring it out in the pot when it's done. Let's drink the mutton soup first, and then add the other dishes."
Holding the juice, Rong Yu said unwillingly, "Can't I just enjoy the pleasure of sneaking a bite in the kitchen?"
Yin Chengjue: "The last time you said that, we ruined a pot."
Rong Yu sipped her juice and said in a low voice, "Why do I hear disdain in your words, Yin Chengjue? So love can disappear, right?"
Yin Chengjue: "No, what I mean is, this is the last pot in the house that we can use to cook mutton hot pot. If we don't have it, we won't have mutton hot pot tonight. You should stay out of the kitchen until I buy some other spare pots."
Yin Chengjue said gently, "Be obedient."
Rong Yu: "Okay."
Yin Chengjue: "Good girl."
Rong Yu, holding the juice, watched Yin Chengjue enter the kitchen and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how much longer do you want to cook? I'm starving."
Yin Chengjue paused, then coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly: "This soup base... simmer it for a while, it'll be more flavorful."
Rong Yu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Soon, Yin Chengjue came out with two bowls of mutton soup on a tray. The soup was filled with mutton offal and white radish, and it smelled extremely fragrant.
Lamb offal is lamb's internal organs. After being cleaned, it tastes very delicious when cooked. Of course, the main reason is that it contains lamb intestines. After being finely chopped and cooked, it is mixed with something else that is hard to distinguish.
"Let's have some soup first, to taste it. The mutton is still cooking."
"Mmm!" Rong Yu couldn't wait to start eating.
Yin Chengjue watched Rong Yu eat with relish, smiled with satisfaction, and scooped up a big mouthful for himself.
The two quickly finished eating, and then Yin Chengjue brought out the soup he had prepared, telling Rong Yu to drink more soup.
Rong Yu already had a good appetite, so without Yin Chengjue saying much, she quickly filled her cheeks and showed an expression of enjoyment.
Every time Yin Chengjue saw Rong Yu's satisfied expression while eating, his mood would brighten up.
It's not unusual for two adult men to finish a leg of lamb in one meal. Yin Chengjue himself has a large appetite, but he eats in a rather elegant manner, making it seem like he doesn't eat much.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Rong Yu sat on the sofa with her belly sticking out and burping. Yin Chengjue collected the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. After tidying up the kitchen, he came out to watch TV with Rong Yu.
This is a kind of ritual. As long as both parties have time, they will definitely lie on the sofa together to watch TV after dinner. After resting for half an hour while watching TV, they will go to the gym to work out.
Today, episode 25 of "Blood Mist" aired, which happened to be the fourth case, "Red Forest Vampire".
Rong Yu had been looking forward to this episode for a long time because Yin Chengjue's face would appear in the form of an oil painting, and Rong Yu had been imagining what the post-production effect would be like.
Starting from episode 25, Wu Xiaoqing received an invitation printed with maple leaves and thought about traveling with Wu Xiaoye. However, they didn't expect that, with their Conan-like qualities, they would encounter a case even on this holiday.
Danger lurks in the maple forest where red leaves flutter, a soul imprisoned by the past, a heart bound by obsession.
The murderer's hands were stained with blood, turning him from a victim into a perpetrator.
The hypnotist appeared wearing a mask, his white-gloved hand hovering above the murderer's head, and told him in a seductive tone: "Only by offering your burning blood as a devout sacrifice to the vampire prince can you fulfill your wish."
Then the scene shifted, and Yin Chengjue's face appeared on the screen.
I don't know if it was intentional in post-production, but they directly zoomed in on Eun Seung-jue's face in that oil painting.
Noble, aloof, looking down on all living beings, and despising everything.
It's unclear whether Eun Seung-jue captured that feeling perfectly during filming or whether it was due to various lighting effects in post-production.
Rong Yu immediately hugged Yin Chengjue's hand: "Brother!"
"Hmm?" Yin Chengjue was still not used to seeing his face appear on camera like this; it looked really strange.
"Brother, I regret it. I shouldn't have grabbed you and let you take pictures." Rong Yu gripped Yin Chengjue's clothes with her fingertips and gritted her teeth, saying, "Brother looks too handsome like this. I don't want others to see it."
Yin Chengjue laughed and said, "You're only regretting it now? Too late, the show has already aired."
Rong Yu muttered something as she took out her phone, opened the episode of "Blood Mist," scrolled to the clip where Yin Chengjue's oil painting appeared, and turned on the bullet comments.
In that instant, the entire screen was filled with "Ahhh!"
Rong Yu: "Brother, I feel like my head is being cuckolded."
Yin Chengjue lowered his head, carefully ran his fingers through Rong Yu's hair, and said, "It's just my imagination. I didn't see any green hair on you."
Rong Yu shook off Yin Chengjue's hand and threw herself into his arms, pouting, "I regret it! No matter how many people see, brother can only be mine! I found him first!"
Yin Chengjue was already feeling a bit irritable from eating mutton, and now that Rong Yu was rolling around in his arms, he suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Rong Yu by the back of the neck and pressed him down onto the sofa.
Rong Yu groaned and lay down on Yin Chengjue's legs. She vaguely sensed something and her whole body stiffened instantly.
Yin Chengjue smiled and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Xiaoyu, do you know what I put in the soup I just made?"
"Wh...what?" Rong Yu tried hard to recall what she had just eaten, but now her mind was filled with Yin Chengjue's face right in front of her, and her thoughts were all in a mess.
Yin Chengjue deliberately lowered his voice and whispered the answer in Rong Yu's ear.
