Chapter 97

Drops of water fell along the black hair on Chen Zui's forehead. His skin was flushed, not sure if it was from the heat of the bath or because he had a fever. His sharp, dark eyes were also filled with water at this moment.

"Mr. Xie?"

The tone is very nasal.

Xie Qingyue raised the bag in his hand: "Buyan asked me to come and give you the medicine."

He thought of giving the medicine to Chen Zui here and then leaving.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Zui turned around and went back. He could see that Chen Zui had a good figure when they met before when he was wearing clothes. His eyes fell on Chen Zui's back, which was even better than he had imagined.

He thinks a man's back is a sexier part than his abdominal muscles.

Now he was the only one left at the door. Xie Qingyue hesitated for a moment. There was nothing he could do. He couldn't count on completing the task assigned to him by Buyan until he delivered the medicine to Chen Zui.

So he had no choice but to go in.

At the same time, he closed the door.

There was a pair of thin-soled leather shoes at the door. Xie Qingyue walked to the sofa with the medicine in his hand, and saw Chen Zui sitting on the sofa in a daze, leaning back.

Although the other person looked pitiful because of his illness, Xie Qingyue's first impression was that his muscles looked even more beautiful after being stretched. The light made the water droplets on his body sparkle like decorative crystals.

It would be more beautiful if you wear a real body chain.

Xie Qingyue withdrew his gaze, looked around, put the medicine on the coffee table, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then came back with some water.

"Take the medicine first."

Chen Zui, with his head tilted back and eyes closed, did not respond at all to his words.

Xie Qingyue waited for a few seconds, bent down to take the medicine out of the bag, picked out the pills according to the instructions and dosage, and walked to Chen Zui with the medicine in one hand and water in the other.

His eyes fell on Chen's most attractive lips.

His lips were slightly open, and because of the cold he could only use his mouth to get more air, so his breathing was very obvious in the room. In addition, the house was small, so every panting sound fell into Xie Qingyue's ears.

Hot.

Xie Qingyue picked up a pill and put it into Chen Zui's mouth.

The fingertips touched Chen Zui's lips before the white pills. They were hot, so hot that Xie Qingyue's fingers trembled as if they were scalded, and then stopped moving.

Chen Zui still didn't open his eyes, as if he had no idea what was happening.

Xie Qingyue's chest rose and fell noticeably, and then he continued to put the pill into Chen Zui's mouth. This time he used his fingertips to push the pill forward, but it still inevitably touched Chen Zui's lips. The pill was pushed past the lip flesh and touched the teeth.

Stop.

All that’s left is for Chen Zui to cooperate and roll the pill in with his tongue.

But now the only thing Chen Zui can do is to breathe continuously.

"Chen Zui."

"Take medicine."

No response.

The eyes behind the lenses stared at Chen Zui for a while, trying to determine whether he was really that sick. He looked really uncomfortable, even his brows were furrowed.

Xie Qingyue had no choice but to continue pushing the pill forward with his hand.

His fingers pressed against the soft lips, rubbed against the hard teeth, and touched the moisture in the mouth. The heat almost penetrated into his body through the pores of his skin.

Xie Qingyue pushed the pill onto his tongue expressionlessly.

Maybe the medicine was a bit bitter. Not long after it was pushed onto his tongue, Chen Zui's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he tried to push the bitter stuff out with his tongue.

Lift the tip of your tongue and push your fingers up to touch the roof of your mouth.

After Xie Qingyue realized what Chen Zui was about to do, he increased the strength of his fingers and pressed the dishonest tongue back.

The fingertips tap the surface of the tongue twice, as if to say: You are good.

After taking his fingers away, Xie Qingyue picked up the second pill and put it into Chen Zui's mouth. After it was once raw and twice cooked, the last green pill came next. The outer coating of this pill was sweet and melted quickly after being stained with saliva.

Chen Zui also slowly opened his eyes and met Xie Qingyue's gaze.

Xie Qingyue seemed to be frozen for a moment.

Chen Zui's tongue moved subconsciously. He felt the pill and his fingers in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Xie Qingyue who continued to move his tongue to roll the pill. As a result, his tongue stuck to his fingers and kept wrapping around them.

The pills would occasionally hit my teeth, making a slight sound.

It makes people's heart beat unsteadily.

Xie Qingyue was very calm and showed no reaction. He took his finger away and handed over the cup of water naturally.

Chen Zui didn't want to move a finger now. Finally, Xie Qingyue had to put the cup to his mouth again. Only then did Chen Zui cooperate and drink the water from his hand.

Xie Qingyue would rather have wine in his hand, red wine.

Just pour it into Chen Zui's mouth and make sure some of it spills out.

With the rise and fall of his Adam's apple, Chen Zui swallowed the medicine.

Xie Qingyue turned around and put down the water cup: "After taking the medicine, have a good rest."

And it was time for him to leave.

There was a movement behind him. Before he could leave the sofa, a hot and strong body fell on him. He was thrown into a tumble without any preparation. Chen Zui leaned against his back, like a big wild beast clinging to someone and acting like a spoiled child.

The sick Chen Zui was a little willful.

Xie Qingyue tilted his head to create some distance between himself and the head on his shoulder. After hesitating for a moment, he led his men to the bedroom. When he put Chen Zui down, an accident happened again. He was led to the bed by the other party and fell into Chen Zui's arms face to face.

Suddenly they were face to face, their noses touching.

Xie Qingyue was about to stand up immediately.

Chen Zui stretched out his arms, wrapped them around his waist and hugged him, then buried his head in his chest.

"Don't move."

Chen Zui's voice came out muffled, shaking his chest. This was the first time Chen Zui had spoken since he arrived, and the two words were filled with commanding meaning.

Xie Qingyue temporarily stopped exerting force with his hands as he tried to stand up.

Chen Zui increased the strength of his arms around Xie Qingyue. The other person seemed to be the most compatible pillow in the world with his body. The moment he held him in his arms, he felt extremely comfortable and didn't want to let go.

The other person smells sweet, like cream on a cake.

But he clearly couldn't smell anything because of his stuffy nose due to a cold. This smell and this body beside him made him feel at ease.

Before taking a shower, he actually wanted to sleep, but his head hurt so much that he couldn't fall asleep at all, so he got up and took a shower, but now he felt that he could fall asleep.

The head rubbed again and the beast began to doze off.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xie Qingyue remained motionless until he heard Chen Zui's breathing becoming long, then he slowly took his hands off his waist.

Chen Zui's body slowly lay back and fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Qingyue stood up and adjusted the frame of his glasses.

His eyes moved from the untied bath towel to...

Pupils dilate silently.

In order to fit that thing in.

Xie Qingyue picked up the quilt and covered Chen Zui with it, then turned and left. He walked to the door and then turned back to take out his cell phone.

——

Xie Qingyue went downstairs and returned to the car.

Sent a message to Lu Buyan: [The medicine has arrived.]

He put away his phone, took out a refreshing mint popping bead cigarette, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, he noticed a hint of green on the tip of his index finger. After thinking about it, it must be the sugar coating of the last pill, which melted in Chen Zui's mouth and stained his fingertips.

The eyes behind the lenses stared intently at the index finger.

Next second.

He brought his index finger to his mouth and licked it with his tongue.

Lightly sweet.

——

Liangchen, who had just observed the situation, fell into deep thought. Why did he feel like something was wrong?

So far, I have had little contact with the mission target, but I did touch and lick this non-mission target.

What is going on?

Once the host recovers, I'll have a good talk with him. First, I'll pray that the host gets better soon.

——

The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on Chen Zui's eyelids. He turned to the other side. After a while, he opened his eyes and stared at the cabinet by the wall.

His mind was in a mess and he had a very vague dream. In the dream, there was a figure, sometimes secretly following others, sometimes showing off, and sometimes leading a child to play. Then a monster appeared, and the figure that he could not see clearly fought with the monster.

Chen Zui sat up and smoothed his hair back from his forehead.

He never saw that person's face in his dream.

This made him feel very sorry.

[Oh~ Host, has your body regained its feather-lightness and cool breeze-like freshness today?]

【almost. 】

"Then I'm relieved. A mere virus can't defeat your strong body. Their failure is inevitable!"

Chen went to take a shower first.

Liangchen was still chatting with him: [Host, each path can only lead to one ending. Oh, I mean, our mission leads to Lu Buyan.]

Can I get another one?

【I guess you want to change Xie Qingyue. 】

You are so smart.

The moment Chen Zui took the toothbrush and put it in his mouth, he thought of Xie Qingyue's fingers last night. This was a very strange thing. He had never had such a strong interest in anyone before.

[But our mission is to attack. He is just a supporting character in this book. Without his love story, we don't know what his nature is. If we attack him, we can't be considered an attacker.]

[Host, please put aside your human emotions and become a machine that completes the mission.]

[The glory of mission success will shine on you and me, mere emotions are just stumbling blocks on the road to success!]

Chen Zui wiped his face and came out of the bathroom without mentioning the matter again. The Dark Bookstore had given him the chance to be reborn and had also sought his consent. He really shouldn't ask for too much, especially for such a big thing as changing the mission target.

Besides, he was only slightly interested in Xie Qingyue, not even fond of her.

He packed it up.

[Host, where are you going? ]

【To become a task machine.】

Lu Buyan met Chen Zui when he was inspecting the new shopping mall, but the other party didn't see him and was walking alone.

I walked into a brand store and started to choose.

This means that he is following his instructions and is planning to start packing up. When Lu Buyan thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he asked the people who followed him to leave.

He didn't go to Chen Zui immediately.

Looking through the glass window at Chen Zui communicating with the clerk, from the side profile, he looks much less similar to Sigui.

But even so, Lu Buyan had to admit that this face was good-looking.

He saw Chen Zui smiling at the clerk.

That smile could even be described as gentle.

He had never smiled at himself like this before... Come to think of it, he hadn't smiled at himself since signing the agreement.

At the beginning, his temper was obviously not that bad.

If a shop assistant can get his smile, why can't I, the financial sponsor, get it?

Lu Buyan could no longer tell whether he was jealous or angry.

He saw the clerk pick up a tie and gesture it towards Chen Zui in front of the floor-length mirror.

Chen Zui should be quite satisfied.

In fact, Lu Buyan also felt that Chen was the most suitable person to wear formal attire. So far, the person around him who looked the best in formal attire was Xie Qingyue. Others said that he looked ascetic in his suit.

But Chen Zui will have a different feeling, and will be very lustful.

Chen Zui bought the tie. When he walked out of the store, Lu Buyan didn't know why he hid. When he realized it, he had already done so.

He followed Chen Zui secretly.

If you see someone leaving the mall after buying only a tie, you'd think he wouldn't wear it with his cheap suit.

The phone vibrated.

Chen Zui asked him to meet at the hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Lu Buyan was pleasantly surprised and typed "OK", but deleted it before sending it out, replacing it with: "I'll go when I have time."

Back to the mall, start shopping for new clothes.

Liangchen: [Host, we've all come to the mall, why don't we just meet him directly? He's been following us all the way.]

Chen Zui put away his phone: [Haste makes waste.]

At 7:30, Lu Buyan appeared in the restaurant dressed like a peacock with its tail spread out. With his superpowers, he placed the boss as his spy, and then he returned to the car.

Chen Zui showed up at the restaurant right on time. The boss compared the photo with his hand and sent a message to Lu Buyan.

Lu Buyan smiled and didn't rush in to play the game. It took more than forty minutes for him to finish a game.

I got news from the boss that the person hasn't left yet.

He then leisurely got out of the car and walked slowly to the private room upstairs. It seemed that Chen Zui had learned his lesson very little. If you want to be a canary, you must have the awareness of a canary.

Lu Buyan pushed open the door of the private room, a look of pride in his eyes and eyebrows. He sat down with his legs crossed and threw the car keys on the table.

“You should learn to smile when you see a sponsor.”

"You're late."

Lu Buyan sneered, raised his hand and placed it on the back of another chair, pointed at Chen Zui and then at himself: "Between us, I have the right to be late, but you don't."

He is really arrogant.

Xie Qingyue passed by in the corridor outside the door. He had just seen Buyan’s car outside.

"Don't even mention these forty minutes, you'll have to wait even for four hours."

Xie Qingyue stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. The door of the private room next to him was not closed tightly, and he saw Lu Buyan through the gap.

Who is he talking to?

So rude.

Although Xie Qingyue was curious, he had no intention of eavesdropping and turned around.

"This is for you."

Xie Qingyue stopped.

"A thank you gift for the medicine."

He confirmed that it was the person he thought it was. Xie Qingyue looked at the gap again. Lu Buyan stood up from his seat and took a small bag from the opposite side.

After sitting down, he took out a more exquisite small box from inside.

"Have you also prepared a thank-you gift for Qingyue?"

"He wasn't asked by you."

Xie Qingyue's eyelids drooped and he didn't stay any longer.

When Lu Buyan opened the box, he saw a tie. He thought of Chen Zui who was shopping during the day, so he thought he was choosing a gift for himself.

The corners of her mouth lifted up once, but were then pushed down by him.

Liangchen: "Oh~ Host, the favorability has increased to 5%. Humans are really easy to grasp."

Lu Buyan: "Your taste is really average."

Close the box.

Chen Zui, who was standing opposite him, had already stood up and was walking towards the door. He looked a little bewildered: "Where are you going? Aren't you going to eat?"

Chen Zui came to the door and said: "Next time you want to have dinner with me, you must arrive on time."

Without giving Lu Buyan a chance to say anything, he left the private room.

Lu Buyan was stunned.

Until his stomach growled, he pouted in grievance, opened the lid again, and this time picked up the tie to take a look.

All right.

It's not the style he likes no matter how he looks at it.

Throw it back.

It was boring for him to eat here alone, so he called his friends to come over. Soon the private room became lively. Xie Qingyue finished the dinner party next door and was seen by the friends called by Lu Buyan and dragged into the private room.

Lu Buyan: "Eh? Don't you have time?"

Xie Qingyue: "We just finished talking next door."

The dishes came up one after another. The bag on the table was in the way, so the person next to him took the bag down and threw it on the sofa in the corner.

Clink glasses and exchange cups.

Someone was surprised: "Brother Xie actually drank so much today."

Xie Qingyue loosened his tie slightly: "I'm in a good mood today."

He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The meal was almost over and someone started to arrange to change the place. Xie Qingyue usually never participated in the second round, and this time was no exception. He had a meeting tomorrow, so it was enough for him to indulge himself to this extent.

Everyone was used to it, and Lu Buyan left with everyone arm in arm.

Xie Qingyue sat alone for a while before getting up. When he was about to leave, he noticed the small bag on the sofa.

Go over and open it.

It turned out that he was given a tie.

Xie Qingyue stared at the tie.

【He is just doing this on your behalf.】

You have no conscience. Who brought you medicine, fed you medicine, and helped you back to your room?

Who do you hug and who do you lick when you are sad?

Xie Qingyue was not drunk. He never allowed himself to get drunk at any party because drunk people looked ugly.

He was as sober as usual, and took out a lighter and lit the tie in his hand.

Admiring the flames that delighted him.

——

Lu Buyan sat up straight in the car, forgetting to take his tie.

I looked at the designated driver and then at my friend next to me, who seemed to be very concerned about asking me to go back for this trip.

Just a tie.

He leaned back again.

——

Chen Zui went out early in the morning. Today was the day of the book reading. He stayed up all night reading the revised script, and his role had been increased a lot.

The setting of the play looks somewhat familiar.

He will kill his lover.

It seems that the performance that day gave them inspiration.

The scene was lively, with everyone greeting each other. Chen Zui was also warmly welcomed when he arrived. He bent slightly and shook hands with everyone.

Actors arrived one after another.

A handsome actor caused a small sensation at the time. He has been quite popular recently and has gained a lot of fans for his role as the affectionate second male lead in the hit drama.

The other person is the actor who plays Chen Zui’s lover in the drama.

"Hello, this is Chen Zui, who plays the role of Mu Zhen in the play."

The other party raised his eyes, looked at Chen Zui with a scrutinizing gaze, and replied: "Liang Youjing."

Someone else came to say hello, and Chen Zui returned to his original seat. He remembered that there was a kissing scene between him and Liang Youjing in the script.

The sofa beside him sank a little. Liang Youjing asked, "You look familiar. What dramas have you acted in?"

Chen Zui said the name of the web drama.

Liang Youjing: "Web drama, I don't watch web dramas, so maybe I remembered it wrongly. How long have you been acting?"

Hearing Chen Zui say it's been five or six years, he opened his mouth in surprise: "It's been so long, I've only been in the industry for two years. By the way, have you seen my new play? It's the Peach Blossom Sigh that's currently being released. Please support me."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Have you been in any dramas recently?"

Liangchen: [My host~ Am I being overly sensitive or is this human complex? Why do I feel like he's talking...]

As a system, it couldn't find an accurate adjective for a moment.

Chen Zui: “No.”

Liang Youjing: "Oh, actually, I really liked this script when I read it, especially your role. I even tried to get it, but unfortunately... I didn't expect you've already been chosen."

"You must be pretty amazing."

"After all, I've been acting for so many years."

He looked at Chen Zui.

Chen Zui felt like his ears were about to get calluses because of the noise.

He lowered his eyes and looked over: "Well, I'm very good."

The smile on the other person's face slowly faded.

Chen Zui: "I hope you won't hold me back when we start filming."

Liang Youjing stopped acting, sneered, turned around and started talking to the person on the other side.

Director Xue was the last one to arrive.

There was another round of noisy greetings. When it was Chen Zui's turn, Director Xue nodded and said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing you."

He watched the audition video that day, and that was why he asked the screenwriter to change the script.

Liang Youjing stepped forward with a smile: "Director Xue, my dream when I first entered the industry was to work with you. Now that I see you... I really want to..."

Before I could even utter the word "cry", tears started falling.

Director Xue enjoyed the praise very much.

Liangchen: [He's a talented actor. Come on, host! We can't let him outshine us.]

The reading session officially begins.

On the other side, Xie Qingyue also got a new script. This aspect was handed over to the director team when investing. As an investor, he was not involved in this, so there was no need to notify him specifically about the script changes.

This is what he specifically asked for.

"Kissing scene..."

He muttered something.

Bu Yan would not allow his people to kiss others, even when filming a movie.

——

The reading session lasted until the evening, and everyone was tired. Many people had to catch up on their schedules, so the dinner was arranged for the official start of filming.

So they all dispersed.

Before leaving, Liang Youjing asked Chen Zui, "Do you have any schedule to catch? I can give you a ride to the airport."

Then, without even waiting for Chen Zui to say anything, he walked away arrogantly.

He looked down on Chen Zui, a little-known actor who had been in the industry for so many years. He even felt that it was beneath his status to act opposite him and that it would delay his chance to become a big star.

Liangchen: [He is so hateful! ]

It's the kind that doesn't bite but makes people feel disgusted!

Chen Zui never expected to meet such an opponent. He was really unlucky.

【Auspicious day.】

【What's wrong? Host.】

Does he have any negative information?

Since it is the entertainment industry, there is the entertainment industry's way of dealing with it. Chen Zui is not the type of person who will swallow his anger.

If there really isn't any, I can only condescend and beat him up myself.

Just break his bones and you can change the opponent actor.

Chen Zui walked into the elevator and pressed the first floor button. The elevator door was about to close but was opened again.

"Thank you, Mr.

Xie Qingyue nodded, walked in, and pressed the button of the underground floor: "How is your health?"

"I'm much better now. Thank you for the medicine you sent me that night."

"No need, after all, I am just entrusted by someone."

The two people standing side by side could not see each other's facial expressions, but Chen Zui felt that this sentence was a little familiar.

"I've read the new script, and there's a kissing scene in it. Have you told Buyan about this?"

“It’s my job.”

"But I think he would mind."

"Mr. Xie really thinks about his friends."

There was a silence.

The elevator reached the first floor and slowly opened.

Xie Qingyue: "Let's delete the kissing scene."

Chen Zui walked out and looked sideways at Xie Qingyue through the gradually closing elevator door: "No, because I'm a great kisser."

The elevator door closed completely and continued to go to the basement floor.

After a while, Xie Qingyue's pupils flickered, then he raised his hand, put his index finger in front of his nose and sniffed hard.

Through my memory, I can still smell the sweetness I tasted that night.

It made his mouth dry.
