Chapter Nineteen: Stop, Stop, This Isn't an Idol Drama

According to the plot of an idol drama, at this moment, the face should be close and the lips should be kissed.

A love that blossomed suddenly, intense and passionate, developing into a romantic relationship.

Unfortunately, this isn't an idol drama.

Neither of the two people in front of me is a romantic.

They all turned to look in the direction from which the music was coming.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot to mute!"

A boy dressed like a poisonous mushroom quickly hung up the phone under the fierce stares of two pairs of eyes, clasped his hands together, and apologized decisively.

Zhou Ran pushed away the approaching chest and gave it a quick pat. "Your pectoral muscles are quite well-developed!"

Xia Chenggan withdrew his hand and touched his chest, as if to wipe away the remaining heat.

Ugh, you suddenly attacked me.

"You? How come it's you? What are you doing with Brother Xia?"

When the poisonous mushroom saw the faces of the two people in front of it, its eyes widened and its mouth gaped open.

How did these two even end up together, and are even staging this fake fall idol drama?

What's wrong with this world? Have we gone mad after just a few days?

Did Brother Xia get won over by Zhou Ran's persistent pursuit?

With this in mind, the Poisonous Mushroom Boy had only one thought.

Whether the world is crazy or not, Xia Cheng'an is crazy!

"Stop thinking! That was purely an accident!"

Seeing that the boy with the poisonous mushroom was about to let his imagination soar into the universe, Zhou Ran quickly stopped him.

He didn't want to be associated with Xia Chenggan.

Working with him now is out of necessity; I'm already exhausted and don't want to have too much contact with him in the future.

"Huh? You're trying to seduce me again? How many times have I told you, Brother Xia doesn't like this kind of thing."

Upon hearing Zhou Ran's explanation, the Poisonous Mushroom Boy subconsciously recalled Zhou Ran's previous actions and concluded that this was another trick devised by Zhou Ran.

He just couldn't understand how one person could have so many strange ideas.

A chance encounter, a romantic advance, a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, relentless pursuit, and drugging.

He can do anything you can think of, and he can also do things you can't even imagine.

Sometimes I admire Zhou Ran's persistence, and I'm also curious about how he has so many tricks up his sleeve.

It makes you feel both disgusted and curious about how long he can keep it up.

Of course, this is from the perspective of an onlooker. If he were to encounter someone like Zhou Ran, he would definitely go crazy first, she's just too difficult to deal with.

"If you can speak, then speak; if you can't speak, then shut up. If you can't shut up, I don't mind helping you learn to shut up."

Zhou Ran raised her fist, threatening him to shut up.

This person truly lives up to their reputation as a poisonous mushroom; their mouth must be coated with venom. Every word they utter is exceptionally unpleasant to hear.

"I'm telling the truth. Have you forgotten your boastful words from before?"

"No!"

Zhou Ran subconsciously felt that these words were not kind, but he still refused to listen.

"Hey, I knew you'd remember."

Poisonous Mushroom looked Xia Chenggan up and down, wondering if Zhou Ran, that toad, had really managed to eat the swan.

He remembered Xia Cheng'an saying that his brother was a germaphobe and hated being close to people, so something just now seemed off.

"I'm leaving, I'm going back."

Zhou Ran looked at the poisonous mushroom with a particularly dangerous gaze, worried that he might say something that Xia Chenggan couldn't accept, and urged him to leave quickly.

Xia Chenggan nodded to the mushroom-loving boy and followed Zhou Ran into the car and drove away.

The poisonous mushroom saw the two leave in a car, with Xia Chenggan even walking behind to close the car door.

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, ready to tattle on Xia Cheng'an—his brother had gone mad! He'd taken a liking to that toad Zhou Ran!

Zhou Ran was completely unaware that he had been reported behind his back, and trouble immediately followed.

Zhou Ran is more concerned about her current residence.

"If Gu Tingxiao is going to take back his assets, will he also take back the house I'm living in now? Do I need to move?"

"No need. All these sanctions are aimed at Gu Tingxiao, and have nothing to do with anyone else. You can stay as long as you want!"

In fact, Xia Chenggan wanted to use this as an excuse to bring Zhou Ran to his house.

Of course, this house doesn't refer to the house Xia Chenggan currently lives in, but rather to the property under his name.

Offering favors and benefits is also a way to win people over.

However, seeing Zhou Ran's momentary displeasure at the mention of changing houses, he decided to find a time to transfer the house ownership. He didn't want to move, so he wouldn't move.

A good boss needs to be considerate of his subordinates; it's a kind of perk.

Zhou Ran was quite happy to hear that she didn't have to move to a new house.

The current villa owner is very comfortable, and the servants are all very sensible; moving to another place would be too much trouble.

"You've had a long day, you should rest today. I'll have someone come to see you tomorrow!"

A good boss should give employees enough rest time so as not to be seen as an exploitative capitalist, a modern-day Huang Shiren.

"Okay, thank you."

Zhou Ran was exhausted today and just wanted to collapse on the big bed when she got home.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that his body is too weak.

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

He remembered the scene at the hospital when Zhou Ran lent him her phone.

"Hmm, I don't know where it fell."

"I'll have someone look for one for you. If they can't find it, I'll have someone make one for you so you can contact me in the future."

Xia Chenggan nodded, saying that a boss should provide the necessary supplies and ensure that employees have a good working environment.

"good."

I didn't find it inconvenient at all without a mobile phone.

But if it's free, he might as well take it.

They chatted like this, giving and receiving intermittent replies, and the atmosphere in the car was much better than when they arrived.

Xia Chenggan breathed a sigh of relief. Although today was bumpy, he had achieved the initial goal of making good relations with his friends, which was a good result.

When they arrived at the villa, Zhou Ran got out of the car, and Xia Chenggan originally wanted to get out and see her off.

The information my second brother provided clearly stated that being considerate and safe in escorting someone home would demonstrate gentlemanly manners and leave a good impression.

Zhou Ran got out of the car, turned around and said goodbye, then neatly closed the car door.

They didn't give Xia Chenggan any chance to curry favor.

Xia Chenggan, who was almost hit in the face by the car door, stared blankly at the tightly closed door.

Alas, it is true that what you learn from books is ultimately superficial.

Some things and some methods need to be adapted to different people and cannot be done by simply following the book.

Looking back today, many of the tips for getting along with my younger brother were useful, but some minor adjustments were needed.

He needs to go back and adjust the plan to make it more complete; a plan full of loopholes is not his style.

Zhou Ran ignored Xia Chenggan's presence outside.

His inherent domineering nature cannot be changed by a few words.

Besides, they're not familiar with each other, so it's best not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Zhou Ran stroked her chin, thinking about the day's events, wondering what Xia Chenggan was up to.

However, he was deliberately closing the distance between them, and there was a hint of ingratiation in his actions.

I just don't know what the ultimate purpose of this friendly relationship is.

Xia Chenggan's businessman traits are very obvious; he's not afraid of being tricked by someone now.

Unable to understand the situation clearly, Zhou Ran attributed it all to Xia Chenggan's mental problems.

He went back to his room, washed up, changed his clothes, and looked at his thin body in the mirror.

"I'll start exercising tomorrow. My body is too weak; I'll easily get hurt."

He will face many challenges ahead. Judging from his brief interactions, most people in this world suffer from serious illnesses. He should focus on improving his health and picking up martial arts again.

In case one of them suddenly goes crazy, he'll have the ability to protect himself.

After going downstairs to eat, I returned to my room and lay down on the bed.

Before closing her eyes, Zhou Ran thought that maybe when she opened them again, she would be back.

I don't know if I died in that other world, or if I swapped souls with Zhou Ran here.

However, neither of these is good news.

He painstakingly built this empire; I hope it will still be there when he returns.

Of course, I hope he can go back.

I fell asleep muttering to myself like that.

He was unaware that even greater challenges awaited him.
