As soon as Qin Yu came in, he saw Gu Yanshen lowering his head to pick up his cell phone.
His gaze naturally fell on Gu Yanshen's ears, which seemed... a little red.
"Is it hot?"
The sudden sound startled Gu Yanshen so much that his hands trembled and his phone fell to the ground again.
Gu Yanshen: "..."
Qin Yu looked at him strangely, "It's about to start, we have to wait outside."
"I understand. You go out first."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and picked up his phone again. He was not surprised that the video had been disconnected.
The other side.
Lu Wenxing realized what he had done only after he connected the video. Because it was so comfortable to lean on the bathtub, after replying to a few WeChat messages, he forgot that he was taking a bath.
The more Lu Wenxing thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. His cheeks felt slightly hot, and even his ears turned red.
What did he just do?
Lu Wenxing lay back and submerged himself in the water, his toes touching the ground in embarrassment.
He stayed in the water for a while, until he could hold his breath no longer, and then he poked his wet head out. The stupid things he had done kept lingering in his mind.
He stood up suddenly from the bathtub, put on a bath towel and walked out.
The cell phone was deliberately forgotten in the bathroom, as if not looking at or touching it could cover up the embarrassment that had just occurred.
Lu Wenxing lay on the bed, rolled around a few times and buried his face in the quilt. It took him a while to try to forget the embarrassment just now. He pretended to be nonchalant and blew his hair, then changed into pajamas. He was just looking for something to do and hung the neatly hung clothes in a different direction.
When there was nothing to do, Lu Wenxing climbed onto the bed. He was used to playing with his mobile phone before going to bed. He sat against the head of the bed for a while, hesitated for a few minutes, and finally got up and went to the bathroom.
The moment he touched the phone, Lu Wenxing's heart was pounding. He was afraid of seeing Gu Yanshen's reply, but also afraid that Gu Yanshen would ask him why he was answering the video in the bathtub.
The moment Lu Wenxing turned on the screen, he subconsciously closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and saw Gu Yanshen's WeChat on the notification bar.
【. 】Did you press the answer button by mistake?
Lu Wenxing breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a "hmm" in response to Gu Yanshen's words.
【ET】I’m going to bed first, good night.
Gu Yanshen did not reply, which made Lu Wenxing feel relieved. Soon, the internet-addicted teenager was addicted to the Internet, and the momentary embarrassment was gradually forgotten.
**
A few days later, Lu Wenxing received a call from the car dealership.
"Did you call the wrong number? I didn't buy a car."
"Is your name Lu Wenxing?"
"right."
"That's right. You have paid the full amount on April 27. When are you free? Leave me your address and I'll have my colleague drive it to you."
Lu Wenxing: ???
Lu Wenxing became alert instantly, could it be some new type of scam?
"Then may I ask if you are free this Sunday? Do you want to pick it up at the store, or do you want us to deliver the car to your door?"
"Who is the car for?"
"Mr. Lu Wenxing's."
Lu Wenxing said, "Oh," and said, "Then you dialed the wrong number."
opposite:"……"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Xuan called Lu Wenxing. Lu Wenxing was filming and the call was answered by Chen Che.
In the scene where Lu Wenxing plays Feng Xiao, he is stabbed and injured. The clothes on his shoulders were deliberately torn by the props set, and one side was draped over his back.
When he came over after finishing his performance, Gu Yanshen helped Lu Wenxing pull up the other sleeve.
"Xingxing, someone just called you."
"Is the car okay? Never mind, I didn't buy a car."
"No, it's the friend I met last Friday."
Gu Yanshen stopped to change his clothes. Lu Wenxing had already taken the phone and called Cheng Xuan.
As soon as he picked up the phone, Cheng Xuan asked anxiously, "Xingxing, don't you like the gift I gave you?"
Lu Wenxing paused, "Car?"
"Yes." Cheng Xuan thought for a moment, "I see, Xingxing, you don't like Ferrari. What about Bentley? Or Maserati? Or do you like something else?"
Lu Wenxing: "...the car you gave me? A Ferrari?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the crew who was close to Lu Wenxing cast strange glances at him, and everyone saw shock in each other's eyes.
Cheng Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and asked persistently, "What kind of car does Xingxing like?"
“…”
Lu Wenxing sighed, "I have a car, you don't have to send me."
Cheng Xuan was anxious, "That's different. This is a gift from me to you. Isn't it normal for friends to give each other gifts?"
"…Giving gifts is normal, but you wouldn't just give such an expensive gift."
"Not casually. I only have two friends, and I don't usually have the opportunity to send them off."
Lu Wenxing paused before he could say no, and asked, "Have you also given a car to another friend?"
"No."
Lu Wenxing just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cheng Xuan say, "I have only given houses, watches, and endorsements. He really likes the watches I picked. Xingxing, do you want a house?"
"!hansome
Lu Wenxing felt even more weird, "What kind of room did you give me?"
"An apartment with a sea view in City C. He said he likes to be able to see the sea when he opens the curtains."
“…”
"You just casually gave away a house. Did your family know? Did they say nothing?"
“As long as they think I’m happy.”
“…”
"I don't want your car, nor your house." Lu Wenxing planned to explain to Cheng Xuan that friendship is not based on material needs.
Qin Yu didn't know what was going on here, but he saw a group of people gathered together, holding a loud speaker and shouting, "Get ready for the next game."
Lu Wenxing also heard the urging, "I have to film a movie, I'll call you back later. Don't buy any more, I don't want these things."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Miao and Xu Yichen stared at Lu Wenxing with their eyes wide open, without blinking.
"Someone can resist the temptation of Ferrari."
"Woo woo woo, I also want a friend who can just give me a luxury car."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
After changing clothes and coming out, Gu Yanshen asked "casually".
"The friend I had dinner with last week?"
"right."
Gu Yanshen said 'oh', "He is so nice to you? Does he have any ulterior motives?"
Lu Wenxing: "...No, he is very well behaved."
good?
Gu Yanshen's heart was filled with alarm, especially when he noticed Lu Wenxing's attitude towards "that friend". Although he rejected the other party, Lu Wenxing's tone when speaking to the other party was gentle, and contained patience and a little indulgence.
While Gu Yanshen was lost in thought, Lu Wenxing and Wen Miao had already come on stage. He stood aside, not paying attention to the filming, and was mistaken for a fellow enthusiast by Xu Yichen, who was also standing aside.
"So Brother Shen is also such a gossiper?"
Xu Yichen smiled ambiguously, "Xingxing is an extraordinary friend. My group of 'bad friends' won't give me a car anyway. I understand that it's easier to pursue her under the banner of friendship. Those who understand will understand."
"Pursue?"
Gu Yanshen felt upset but he didn't show it on his face. Xu Yichen didn't feel anything was wrong either and continued what he said.
"Yes, that's obvious. Only when you pursue someone will you spend a lot of money. Brother Shen and Director Qin are friends, right? Will you give Director Qin a Ferrari?"
Gu Yanshen: "..."
"But Brother Shen is not short of money. If he is pursuing a girl, what's the big deal about giving her a Ferrari? It should be like the romance novels Wen Miao reads, where it's the heroine's birthday and the hero gives her the naming rights for a planet without saying a word."
"Compared to this, Ferrari really doesn't seem that great."
Xu Yichen talked a lot but got no response from Gu Yanshen.
"Am I wrong?"
Gu Yanshen's face darkened at a visible speed, and he felt sour in his heart. What kind of friend is so mysterious? The circle of friends was censored, and even the copywriting style was not what Lu Wenxing would usually post. He just talked about luxury cars and houses.
Cheng Xuan didn't know that he had upgraded from a friend to a 'certain suitor'. He was still distressed by Lu Wenxing's rejection. He had a bitter face and the light in his eyes dimmed in an instant.
Mr. Cheng was reading documents, and occasionally his eyes fell on Cheng Xuan. Seeing that he was crying, he had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong? Did you break up with your friend?"
"No." Cheng Xuan said depressedly, "He doesn't want the car I gave him."
Mr. Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then you can give him a house."
She didn't mind Cheng Xuan's friends being snobbish. As long as they didn't make excessive demands and could make Cheng Xuan happy, Cheng would be grateful to them. Because Cheng Xuan was timid, as long as the so-called friends didn't behave out of line, Cheng wouldn't even mind having more such friends.
"He doesn't want it either."
As soon as Cheng Xuan said this, President Cheng paused with his pen in hand, "Then you didn't ask him what he wanted?"
"He said he was busy and would call me later."
"Then just wait for him to call you. What are you worried about?"
"Sister, you don't understand. Giving gifts is to create surprises. Can you help me think of something to give?"
"Your friend is an artist, right? Why don't you give him some resources... Or I'll ask dad if he's found a suitable star for the promotional video for next season. I saw it yesterday, and your friend is good-looking and will have no problem being on camera."
Cheng Xuan lowered his head, "I think he might be too busy."
Mr. Cheng: ???
Cheng Xuan opened Weibo and showed it to Mr. Cheng, showing the Weibo posts of @路闻星, a dozen high-end luxury brands that dominated the screen some time ago.
"Look, they are all lining up to get endorsements from celebrities."
“…”
Mr. Cheng was so shocked that he dropped his pen. "Whose family is this friend of yours, right?"
Mr. Cheng thought about it and felt that it made sense. They were all from wealthy families, so why didn't they want Cheng Xuan's gift? Maybe making friends was just for fun. But because of this, Mr. Cheng had a different opinion of Lu Wenxing.
"His name is Lu Wenxing?"
"yes."
"Has your friend Wen Yu ignored you for a long time?"
Cheng Xuan defended himself, "No, he's busy."
Mr. Cheng sneered, did not refute, and followed Cheng Xuan's words.
"Well, he's very busy. So try not to disturb him in the future. If you're bored, you can make an appointment with him more often when Lu Wenxing is free. Or, you can invite him to your home as a guest."
Cheng Xuan held the phone for a while and finally received a call from Lu Wenxing before dinner.
President Cheng asked Cheng Xuan to turn on the speakerphone because she wanted to hear what was going on.
"You can return the Ferrari, or you can drive it home if you like." Lu Wenxing's tone was firm, and then asked, "Did your friend give you a gift in return after receiving it?"
"Yes." Cheng Xuan said happily, "He gave me antiques. Although I don't understand them, I kept them well."
"Give me an antique?"
Lu Wenxing still felt something was wrong. After listening to Cheng Xuan's description, Lu Wenxing always felt that his friend might just be jealous of Cheng Xuan's generosity, but the other party gave him antiques in return. However, antiques are rare, and who knows whether they are authentic or fake.
Lu Wenxing didn't explain too much, "Cheng Xuan, next time you give your friend a gift, try to give something thoughtful. This thoughtfulness does not refer to the value of the item itself."
"What is that?"
Lu Wenxing thought for a moment and said, "For example, I like sweets, so if I receive a bag of delicious snacks, I will be very happy."
"I understand. He likes reading, so I'll give him some books next time."
Lu Wenxing suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay."
Maybe he was overthinking, but if Cheng Xuan's friend was sincere to him, he would accept it with a smile even if it was just a postcard. But if his friend was really after fame and fortune, it was self-evident.
Ms. Cheng never spoke, but every word of Lu Wenxing surprised her. She originally thought that it would be difficult for her brother to make true friends with his personality, but this Lu Wenxing seemed... to really care about her brother.
In her opinion, Lu Wenxing was obviously aware of Wen Yu's power, but chose the same approach as their family and concealed Wen Yu's ulterior motives. The reason was simple: they didn't want to make Cheng Xuan sad.
Lu Wenxing remembered that Cheng Xuan said he had given a watch to a friend. Since it was given by Cheng Xuan, it must be a high-end luxury brand and most likely a limited edition.
"Was the last gift you gave to that friend a watch?"
"Yes." Cheng Xuan thought Lu Wenxing wanted it, "Do you like it? I can do it too..."
"I don't like it." Lu Wenxing lied, "I want to give it to a friend in the crew, but I don't know what to give. Can I refer to the style you gave to your friends?"
"No problem, I'll send you the pictures later."
Lu Wenxing didn't want to ask who this friend was, but Cheng Xuan was too naive, and this friend also involved a question that Lu Wenxing cared about: whether the novel was linked to reality? Lu Wenxing didn't ask directly because he didn't want to embarrass Cheng Xuan.
If you look at limited edition watches...
Often, sharp-eyed netizens can recognize at a glance what celebrities are wearing and what accessories they are wearing. Lu Wenxing doesn't need to do any private investigation, he can find it by just searching on the Internet.
Lu Wenxing had just hung up the phone and turned around to meet Gu Yanshen's resentful eyes.
Resentment? He... must have seen it wrong.
"Teacher Gu, did you eavesdrop on my phone call?"
It wasn't something that was taboo to hear. Since it was Gu Yanshen's words, Lu Wenxing wasn't worried that they would be leaked, so he asked half-jokingly.
"I didn't listen. I just came here." Gu Yanshen's tone was indifferent, and a little aggrieved?
"That friend again?"
"right."
"You have a good relationship with him?"
Lu Wenxing did not deny it, "We haven't known each other for long, but we get along very well."
Gu Yanshen felt even more sad. He wanted to do as Lu Wenxing said and tell him his feelings directly, but it would be bad to scare him away.
Lu Wenxing said, "If you like someone, you should pursue them boldly." Gu Yanshen did not deny this view. However, the love experience that Lu Wenxing learned from his roommates was still too naive. They were young and dared to make bold trials and errors.
But Gu Yanshen is different, he has only been moved once in his life. He doesn't want to use Lu Wenxing as a trial and error, he just likes Lu Wenxing, and there will definitely be no one else who can make his heart beat like Lu Wenxing.
He wanted to pursue Lu Wenxing not just to date him, but to spend his whole life with him.
He could wait for Lu Wenxing, but...
Never allow yourself to miss out.
The author has something to say: Gu Shenshen: I want to change my strategy.
Actually it’s just cowardice!!!
