Ever since she accidentally kissed Gu Fei in the office, Lin Qingyan has been in a very awkward state for the past few days. Whenever she sees Gu Fei, the scene from that time automatically comes to mind.
Therefore, whenever Gu Fei was home, he would try to hide and stay in his room, even though Gu Fei seemed perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened.
He's the only one who's particularly cowardly.
That evening, right after dinner, Lin, being particularly cowardly, hid in his room again. Even Butler Shen sensed something was wrong as he watched the boy flee quickly.
"Mr. Gu, did Xiao Yan and you have a falling out?"
Gu Fei finished his dinner slowly and deliberately, calmly put down his chopsticks, took a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then said, "He's probably embarrassed."
The man's deep, magnetic voice carried a somewhat intriguing tone, making it hard to decipher. He then instructed, "Uncle Chen, could you please go to the kitchen and cut some fruit?"
Butler Shen responded and didn't ask any more questions. He turned and walked towards the kitchen, secretly speculating that something must have happened between Master Gu and Xiao Yan. Maybe Master Gu bullied the child, since Xiao Yan's innocent and harmless appearance made him the easiest to bully.
Master Gu... Don't be fooled by his quiet demeanor; he's a cunning old fox. With Xiao Yan's docile nature, like a rabbit, wouldn't he be completely outmaneuvered by this old fox?
Butler Shen couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
Never mind, he should go cut the fruit. (Remember this website: https://m.)
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyan, who was in his room, opened his live stream. As soon as he started, a wave of fans flooded in. He had only streamed a few times before, and he greeted everyone rather awkwardly.
Wow... my handsome, dashing, well-behaved, and adorable baby Yan Yan is finally doing a live stream! Mommy missed you so much!
Five days have passed! I thought you'd forgotten your account password! I'm so glad I waited for you...
Today I want to hear this young man recite "The Song of the Pipa," "The Road to Shu is Hard," and "Ode to the Red Cliff"!!
[And "Li Sao"!!!]
[I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm all ready! My darling Yan Yan, please begin your performance! [Applause]]
"..." Looking at the scrolling comments on the screen, Lin Qingyan wondered if he had returned to his high school classroom. His lips twitched slightly, and he gave an awkward but polite smile. "How about I sing you a song? Or dance for you?"
If all else fails, he can always do a split on the spot, right?
【no! ! 】
【Damn it!!】
【We want to hear your betrayal of Li Sao!!】
[Come on, come on, come on! Let me start: I am a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, my royal father was Boyong... Ready, set, go!]
Lin Qingyan: "..."
He didn't understand, he was very puzzled, why other people's live streams were all about singing, dancing, rapping and other talents, but when it came to him, it was just reading aloud and reciting the whole text?
[Little brother, I've turned all the texts you memorized last time into alarm clock sounds. I listen to them repeatedly every morning, and I finally passed my Chinese exam! Mom doesn't have to worry about my studies anymore, hahaha!!]
[Bonus!! I even dragged my useless classmate along to watch Yan Yan's live stream, and the effect was amazing!]
Yes, I am the useless classmate mentioned upstairs.
[Add one more useless classmate]
Wait a minute! I'll go call my useless classmate right now!
...
Lin Qingyan's feelings at this moment were indescribable. Between laughter and tears, she had no choice but to obediently begin reciting the Li Sao, and was even corrected several times by enthusiastic netizens.
After reciting a poem, Li Sao, Lin Qingyan felt half dead. He took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat and then got down to business, "Actually, I want to tell you all something today."
"For the next month or two or three months, I may not be able to do live broadcasts for some personal reasons."
In a few days, he will be going to record Tomorrow's Stars, where he won't be able to use his phone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the live chat erupted in groans, everyone asking what was going on. Lin Qingyan could only apologize awkwardly, "Perhaps you'll see me somewhere else." After a pause, he added earnestly, "Everyone should also study hard..."
Before he could say anything more, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a clear yet magnetic voice: "Yan Yan, am I coming in?" The tone sounded like a question, but Lin Qingyan had already heard the doorknob turn.
"!!!"
He quickly lowered his voice and said goodbye to everyone, then hurriedly turned off the live stream. He then picked up the study guide next to him and spread it out in front of him, pretending to be a child who was afraid of being caught playing by his parents, and looked down at the book seriously.
Just as she opened the book, Gu Fei pushed the door open and came in. Lin Qingyan looked up at the tall man, a smile playing on her lips, and pretended to be calm as she asked, "Brother Fei, is there something you need?"
"Have some fruit."
Gu Fei walked behind Lin Qingyan, placed the fruit plate he was carrying on the table, bent down and put his arm on the side of the boy. His tall body enveloped the slender boy, and he said almost to the boy's ear, "Yanyan, you're holding your book upside down."
It felt like an electric current shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Lin Qingyan almost jumped up, but she managed to clench her fists and hold back. Looking down, she saw that she was indeed holding the book upside down.
"..."
Although Gu Fei was alone here, he still experienced the feeling of social death.
The two were very close, and the boy's fair and round ears were right in front of Gu Fei, so he could see that the tips of the boy's ears were turning a light red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Qingyan could also sense how close he was to the man. The scene in the office that day resurfaced in his mind. He hurriedly picked up a slice of peach and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out as he said, "Brother Fei, this peach is really sweet."
He was trying to change the subject.
"Would you like to try some?" Lin Qingyan used a bamboo skewer to pick up a piece of peach, turned her head and offered it to the man's mouth. Their eyes met, and he reflexively leaned back, his back pressed against the table, with nowhere to retreat.
They were so close that if Gu Fei lowered his head slightly or Lin Qingyan tilted his head slightly, their noses would touch. The atmosphere in the room inexplicably became romantic and ambiguous again.
Gu Fei remained propped up on the table, opened his mouth and bit into the peach. As he ate, he stared intently at the person in front of him, his gaze fixed straight ahead, as if he were eating something else entirely, not a peach.
Lin Qingyan's eyes darted around, scanning the room, but she didn't dare look at Gu Fei's face.
Those few seconds felt like centuries. Gu Fei's Adam's apple bobbed as he finally finished the peach. His deep voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, reached Lin Qingyan's ears. "It's very sweet," Gu Fei said.
Although he was talking about peaches, the way the man said it sounded different. Before Lin Qingyan could even process it, Gu Fei spoke again: "Yanyan is disobedient and doesn't study hard. How will she get into university in the future?"
"..."
Lin Qingyan was on the verge of tears, the topic she had finally managed to steer the conversation back to, "I didn't mean to..."
Fortunately, Gu Fei's phone vibrated at just the right time. Lin Qingyan weakly reminded him, "Brother Fei, your phone is ringing. Do you want to listen to it first?"
"Hmm." Gu Fei finally straightened up and turned around to answer the phone. Lin Qingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon. His heart and body were burning hot, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Gu Fei hung up the phone after a short while. He looked back at the boy whose face still showed tension and anxiety, and finally had a change of heart, so he stopped teasing the child.
"Want to go out and have some fun with Fei-ge?"
Lin Qingyan subconsciously shook her head, but her mouth involuntarily uttered a single word: "Want."
Gu Fei: "Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"..." If he wasn't mistaken, Lin Qingyan clearly saw the corners of the man's mouth turn up slightly. Gu Fei was mocking him. Lin Qingyan: "...Okay."
He confessed that he did want to go out with Gu Fei.
Lin Qingyan had lived in Gu Fei's house for so long, and as long as the man's daily routine was very regular, apart from necessary social engagements, he had never been seen to have any entertainment life. Now that he suddenly said he wanted to go out and have fun, Lin Qingyan was indeed curious.
No, isn't he avoiding Gu Fei right now?
Lin Qingyan secretly cursed herself for her wavering stance, then obediently changed her clothes and lingered in the room for a few minutes before going downstairs, only to find that the man waiting downstairs had also changed his clothes.
Gu Fei was dressed more casually than usual. Although he was still wearing a shirt and trousers, the shirt was a stylish and well-designed black silk fabric with a great drape. The top two buttons were undone, and the collar was open, revealing a small section of his collarbone.
Abstinent yet sexy.
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, then restrained herself and looked away. "Brother Fei, where are we going next?"
Gu Fei kept everyone in suspense, saying, "You'll find out soon enough."
Lin Qingyan didn't ask any more questions and got into the car with Gu Fei with some anticipation. After driving for about half an hour, the car stopped in front of a high-end entertainment club.
These places are all members-only, entertainment venues for the wealthy. Lin Qingyan had been to similar clubs before, but she didn't have any pleasant memories of them.
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
Gu Fei must have been here before. The waiter greeted him politely and respectfully called him Master Gu. Then he turned his gaze to Lin Qingyan beside him, looking at him with curiosity.
Gu Fei gave a private room number, and the waiter looked away and led the two of them to the private room.
This is the most upscale VIP room here.
The door to the private room was opened, and the lighting inside was dim.
But Lin Qingyan recognized the person sitting inside at a glance.
They are An Jing, An Yu, and... An Nanyi.
