After Grandpa Song's banquet ended, Wu Yue returned home around ten o'clock.
As soon as I entered, I saw Lu Shu floating in mid-air, holding the special pink slippers that Aunt Wu had bought for her. His handsome face was all smiles. "Little Wu Yue, you're back~ Come on, change into these slippers."
Wu Yue stared at him suspiciously, looking him up and down several times: "You weren't possessed by a weasel, so how come suddenly...?"
"How could I, a magnificent mythical beast from the mountains and seas, possibly be possessed by a demon!"
"Just say what you want to say directly. Don't do this kind of pretense. I'm too old for this kind of thing."
"I……"
The WeChat notification interrupted Lu Shu's words.
Wu Yue unlocked her phone; it was Cheng Pingxi.
[Cheap Brother Invites You to a Video Call]
Cheng Pingxi seems to be very busy lately, and he rarely replies to group chats.
Wu Yue pressed the answer button, and Cheng Pingxi's handsome appearance in ancient costume appeared on the screen.
"Why do you suddenly have time to video call me, you cheap brother?" The girl went upstairs. "Are you going to send me money?"
Lu Shu also went over to take a look.
Staring at Cheng Pingxi's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, but only for half a breath before he resumed his smiling expression.
Hi, brother!
Since Cheng Pingxi gained a lifespan of 200 years, he has occasionally seen some special people. Perhaps because they are products of the system, they are particularly special.
"Who's your brother? Don't call me that..." Cheng Pingxi had a really bad impression of Lu Shu. Just thinking about how this guy had lived with his adopted sister for over ten years made him extremely jealous and envious.
Although his parents cannot see Lu Shu, his existence cannot be erased.
Wu Yue pushed Lu Shu aside, sat on the sofa in the room, and took out a phone stand to put her phone on.
The girl glanced at the person opposite her and said, "Did you just finish filming a night scene? You haven't even taken off your makeup yet?"
"The final scene we filmed tonight has just wrapped up. I can go to Beijing tomorrow. Actually, all my previous engagements were in Beijing, so coming to Songcheng is a good fit for this time of year." Cheng Pingxi feigned calmness, but his tone betrayed his eagerness and joy.
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "Then you also bought two apartments in Songcheng?"
"Because I started from Songcheng. I didn't pay enough social security in Beijing, so I'm not allowed to buy a house." Cheng Pingxi said helplessly.
He quickly added with a smile, "But now that I have a family, I don't care whether I can buy a house in Beijing or not. I'll go back home to live."
"Aren't you afraid of being photographed by paparazzi and causing us trouble?" Wu Yue repeated what Cheng Pingxi had said before, with a hint of sarcasm.
"Are you afraid of trouble?" Cheng Pingxi asked, looking at Wu Yue as if he were serious.
Before Wu Yue could answer, he continued, a hint of helplessness and disappointment in the curve of his lips: "That's right, I can't trouble you. I'll go back to my rented place."
"Come back." Wu Yue tapped the screen twice. "Please ask Mr. Cheng to come home on his own, otherwise we'll have to carry him in a sedan chair, which would be too much trouble."
Song Congbo flashed past behind them, calling out in his distinctive voice, "Quick, quick, come and remove Xiaoxi's makeup and hair. We have to catch our 1:30 AM flight."
Cheng Pingxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "Okay."
Cheng Pingxi's assistant was taken aback; it had been a very long time since she had heard Brother Cheng laugh so heartily and freely.
The assistant hesitated for a moment before stepping forward: "Brother Cheng, would you please go to the dressing room and take off your costume?"
"You go ahead and get busy, see you tomorrow. I have class tomorrow morning, so I can't stay with you until after 1 a.m. Bye~" Wu Yue yawned and ended the video call immediately.
Cheng Pingxi: "..." Did they have to hang up so quickly? Ruthless!
-
Lu Shu suddenly remembered the task someone had given her, so she floated back from next door: "Little Wu Yue, there's something I need to tell you. It's about Fu Zhu and Wu Tingyun..."
Wu Yue was feeling unwell.
She thought she had grasped the key to the Fuzhu Pact, but she was completely wrong!
[Hidden Mission 2: The Pact with Fuzhu. Time Remaining: 5 days]
The system's voice further exacerbated the already limited reasoning ability.
