Li Changsi woke up in the Heart-Stirring House. She had eaten hot pot and her mouth was dry at night. It seemed that someone had fed her water. There was also a mosquito that kept biting her face and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.
There was still a faint scent of cold sandalwood in the house, so faint that when she opened the window, the scent was blown away by the wind.
Li Changsi glanced at the group chat. Last night, Rongshu sent Lin Lushen home, and Tianye slept at Rongshu's house. He got up early in the morning and went running full of energy.
The hot searches were all about yesterday's award ceremony. Because she and Bai Zhuo sat next to each other, someone photographed Bai Zhuo leaning over and whispering in her ear, and the scandal was hyped up again.
As for Lu Qi's withdrawal from the variety show recording, it was briefly on the hot search, but because he was an amateur, the popularity soon faded. The program team will arrange a new male guest today.
The new male guest is a handsome and showy rich second-generation guy named Peng Yu. He shows off his wealth right from the start, but because he is showy enough and has a sweet mouth, he is quite popular.
With the addition of new guests, the love relationships in the Heart-Stirring House became more complicated. Li Changsi turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. After getting drunk once, he let out all his emotions and went straight into work mode.
She studies live during the day, reads scripts at night, and occasionally participates in the rehearsals of the Spring Festival Gala. Then, she also found a chance to secure a role in an S+ fantasy production "Seeing Spring Light" as the leading female role.
This is a fairy tale drama with a tragic love story led by a female protagonist adapted from a popular IP. The reason why she took this drama was because she felt that the first half of the script was too similar to her story with Lan Jingxing, except that her story had a BE ending. "Seeing Spring" is a typical heroine-led cool story route, where the heroine makes a comeback in the later stage, the hero chases his wife to the crematorium, and then the ending is HE.
The script is good, it's a heart-wrenching fantasy, and the production team is rich, so it should be a hit.
The dating variety show was soon halfway through its recording. The first couple, Yu Yang and Shao Ling, were announced in the first week, and Peng Yu and Mi Tian were announced in the second week. As for Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi, they are still single.
The fans were secretly waiting for the production team to show some sweet moments between Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi, but it turned out that the second couple were amateurs, and there were cries of grief everywhere.
—Shouldn't it be Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi? I've had so much sugary goodness from them that I've gotten cavities, and this is the end? Production crew, you're inhuman!
——The second couple turned out to be amateurs. Could it be that the program team invited popular stars to watch other people fall in love?
I can't say anything else, but Li Changsi is definitely not here for a romantic relationship. She's completely packed with time, except for eight hours of sleep! She looks like she'll be the top scorer in the provincial exam next year! Even my mom calls it outrageous.
——It’s so funny. Everyone else is seriously dating, but only Li Changsi is concentrating on his career. I advise CP fans to stop dancing. If these two were going to be in a relationship, they would have announced it long ago.
Until the end of the recording of the dating variety show, Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo did not make an official announcement. The CP fans cried out that they were deceived, but Li Changsi's fans were very Buddhist. Anyway, they watched the live broadcast of the girl for a month and felt very happy.
After the recording of the dating variety show was over, she packed her luggage and saw her agent waiting at the door.
"Changsi, today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's only four days until the Spring Festival Gala. You'll be joining the crew after the New Year. This drama will take at least four months to shoot, and after that you'll be taking the college entrance exam. The schedule is too tight. Is this really okay?"
Qibi felt suffocated when he looked at her schedule while holding his IPAD.
With the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) in just four months, she didn't even have time to study. "Meeting Spring" was an S+ project, and director Yu Lian was notoriously strict. It wasn't hard to ask for leave, but once she joined the crew, she couldn't leave. Filming itself was exhausting, and if she didn't do well and it affected her Gaokao, she'd probably be mocked online.
Because she became famous so quickly, there are so many people waiting to step on her.
"If I'm too tired, I'll adjust myself." Li Changsi knew it.
Qiubi asked indirectly, "This time, 'Seeing Spring' is being filmed at the film and television city. I've been away for four months. Will it affect my normal life?"
Why hasn't she reconciled with Mr. Lu yet! This past month, he was forced to report his daily life to Lu Qi, even small things like what Changsi had for lunch. Although it was troublesome, it also had many advantages.
If Changsi needed anything, he would just call Song Mao and someone would get it within half an hour. This was probably due to his damned money.
But after such a long cold war, it's time to reconcile. If Changsi joins the crew directly after the New Year, and President Lu doesn't see him for four months straight, wouldn't that cause chaos?!
I heard from Song Mao that President Lu has become more and more moody recently, and no one dares to get close to him!
Li Changsi glanced at him and knew what he wanted to say. Although Lu Qi gave her time to calm down this month, Lu Qi's shadow was everywhere in her life!
"Go home first."
"Going back to the apartment? Your mom and your brother live there. But I got the access card for the house you asked me to buy. The developer has fully renovated it, so you can move in right away. So, why did you suddenly want to buy that lake view apartment over there? It's really nice. Let's go take a look at your new place."
"Let's go to the new house." The last time she visited Rongshu's house, she'd noticed the properties and apartment designs were all good, and since she didn't bother choosing, she'd just bought a house in the same complex. They were all ready-to-move in, and some floors hadn't been released by the developer yet. It took some effort, but luckily she'd managed to buy one and wouldn't be homeless.
But after buying the house, he became a pauper again.
"Okay, but Changsi, we need to invite some friends over to warm up the house before we move in. We also need to light the stove on the first day and bring in some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea for good feng shui. Oh, and most importantly, we need to check the almanac. Are you sure you want to move in today? Or should we stay at the mountaintop manor for two days and check the almanac before moving?"
Li Changsi glanced at him, and Qiubi immediately fell silent. He drove the car directly to the new house, and then secretly sent a message to Lu Qi: "Mr. Lu, Changsi will not return to the mountaintop manor tonight. He will go to the new house."
Unfortunately, Mr. Lu also had a house in that development, having bought it at the same time as Changsi, with two units on one floor across from each other. Otherwise, how could Changsi's purchase procedures have been completed so quickly?
The other party replied with one word: "Yeah."
Very cold, just like his personality.
When Li Changsi arrived at his new home, he saw that the community was decorated with lights and there was a strong New Year atmosphere. There were few people and it was very private. The butler service was comprehensive and the money was well spent.
She bought the seventh floor, and the decor was the same as Rong Shu's, except that no one lived there, making it seem quite deserted. Her belongings had been delivered by Qibi a while ago, and she had a new four-piece bedroom set. Her closet was filled with her clothes and shoes, and all the necessary daily necessities were available, even the refrigerator was filled with food.
Even the guzheng she had played before was brought over and placed in the study.
Li Changsi raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He sent Qiubi home to celebrate the New Year and officially moved into his new home.
At the same time, someone moved in next door.
In the evening, Li Changsi cooked a bowl of noodles, adding vegetables, red sausage, mutton rolls and beef balls. It was a big bowl full of food with good color, aroma and taste.
She took a photo and posted on Weibo: I moved and cooked a bowl of noodles myself.
Wow, as soon as it was posted on Weibo, it received over 10,000 comments in less than ten minutes, with the top comment being: Don’t kill me, I’m single based on my own strength!
The comments below are all hahahahahahaha. Sibao is also trying hard to dispel the rumors today.
A pair of chopsticks, a bowl of noodles, isn't this a perfect single dog? This world is too complicated, even someone like Li Changsi is single! They can be even happier being single.
In addition to the rave reviews from fans, several friends in the circle came to congratulate.
Tian Ye V: Ask me to come to Nuanju, don’t force me to beg you!
Rongshu V: The wine is ready and can be delivered to your door at any time.
Lin Lu deep V: It looks delicious, I want to eat it too~
Song Xingyue V: Congratulations~
This time Bai Zhuo didn't say anything. Li Changsi was satisfied and was about to put down his phone when he saw a new WeChat message coming in.
Lu Qi: I asked the housekeeper to send you some things to keep you warm.
Immediately afterwards, the doorbell rang. Li Changsi looked at the surveillance camera and saw Uncle Lu standing at the door with a smile on his face, holding a rectangular food box in his hand, and a pile of gift boxes behind him.
She opened the door.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss Changsi, the master asked me to bring some things to keep the house warm."
Li Changsi smiled slightly, and then saw the housekeeper take away the noodles she had just cooked, and then placed four or five plates of exquisite small dishes, fruits and desserts.
Li Changsi: “???”
"Put flowers in every room, put a blessing tree in the living room, and hang up the gifts." After giving the order, the housekeeper smiled at Li Changsi and said, "Miss Changsi, I've put the gift boxes in the storage room for you. You have a lot of friends visiting your new home, and relatives and neighbors visit a lot during the New Year. These gift boxes are the return gifts that your husband prepared for you.
If nothing else, I will go back. I wish you a pleasant meal. "
After the butler finished speaking, he left with the servants in an orderly manner.
He came and went like the wind, and she didn't even have time to say no.
Li Changsi looked at her new home which had changed drastically in just a few minutes. The living room was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the dining table was especially decorated with a row of flowers and candles, which created a perfect atmosphere. There was also a half-person-high blessing tree in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She walked over and found that red blessing bags and furry Q-version toys were hung on each branch of the tree.
The tree is filled with lucky bags, lanterns, Q-version toys and gift boxes, which is extremely festive.
She took down a lucky bag and opened it, revealing a picture card inside. It was a hand-drawn version of her and Marshmallow. On the back was a flowing handwritten message: "Giving you a puppy." The signature was a cute version of Lu Qi.
Li Changsi raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued to look at the second lucky bag. Inside the second one was a candy and a card: Fortunately, missing you is silent... She peeled off the candy wrapper and ate the candy. It tasted sour and sweet.
The third, the fourth, each lucky bag contained a little romance and a subtle message he wrote to her.
After she opened the lucky bag and hung it up again, Lu Qi sent another message on her phone: The noodles are delicious.
She lowered her eyes and didn't reply to the message. It was good that the noodles she cooked were not wasted!
At night, Li Changsi slept very well. Strangely, considering the past month, she no longer dreamed about the past and she slept soundly all night long.
There was a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala the next day. Since she had moved to a new house, she was caught by Tian Ye. She cried and begged to come to Nuanju, so Li Changsi sent them the address of her new home.
Tian Ye: Wow, why does this address sound so familiar?! @Rongshu, isn’t this your home?
Rong Shu was shocked: "@Li Changsi, you bought a house in our complex? It will be very convenient for you to visit us in the future."
Lin Lushen: I want to buy some too. I want to come too, so that we won’t be missing one. We can play cards during the Chinese New Year!
Rong Shu: Changsi probably doesn’t have time to play cards.
Tian Ye: I don’t care, brother, let me squeeze into your sofa. I won’t buy it for the time being, hehe.
Bai Zhuo sent her a private message: Congratulations, and breaking up is nothing, the next man will be better.
She thought about it and realized that she had no connection with Bai Zhuo, so she blocked him.
During the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, her program was a mixed rehearsal of three people, and the arrangement was very ancient. She was responsible for playing the guzheng, one person was dancing, and one person was singing, so she had to rehearse with two other first-line actresses and determine everyone's position and movement.
The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month was the last rehearsal. After the rehearsal, Li Changsi went straight home. When he got home, Tian Ye and the others had already arrived and were all hiding in Rong Shu's house.
Li Changsi: I’m home.
She looked at her new home, which didn't need cleaning, and went to wash a few new cups, then she heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door and was about to ask them why they came so quickly when she saw Lu Qi standing at the door. After not seeing him for a month, the man had become more upright and his face was still handsome, but he had lost some weight, and his edges and corners were more distinct, revealing a kind of sickly beauty.
Lu Qi looked at her delicate face greedily. When he saw the smile fade from her lips, his eyes darkened and he said restrainedly, "Uncle Lu was a bit too much yesterday and took away the noodles you cooked. Since I ate them, I'll cook you a bowl tonight as a courtesy."
Li Changsi: “???”
Is there such a saying?
"Hey, sister, why are you and brother-in-law standing at the door? Are you here to greet us?" Lin Lushen, wearing a furry coat and a cute deer antler hat, called out sweetly as the elevator arrived. "You're so polite! We'd be embarrassed if we didn't."
"Fuck, my waist is sprained. Xiaolu, you bought so many things. Do you want to tire me and Brother Rong to death?" Tian Ye's gritting voice came from behind. He and Rong Shu came out of the elevator holding a bunch of gift boxes, among which there was a half-human-high teddy bear.
Lin Lu smiled deeply, "Besides toys and fruit, there are also various aromatherapy and skincare gift boxes. I'm the spokesperson for them all. My endorsement seems a bit extravagant, so I can give these to fans as New Year's gifts. Sister, your studio hasn't held a lottery to give out gifts to fans this year, right?"
Li Changsi: "It seems not."
She has no experience in this area and will ask her agent later.
Tian Ye cried, "This is the first time. There are more in the lobby downstairs."
So the group squeezed into the house, including Lu Qi.
Tian Ye looked at Li Changsi's new home surrounded by flowers, and even the half-man-high prayer tree in front of the French window. She exclaimed in envy, "This prayer tree has an amazing atmosphere. Sister Si, where did you buy it? I want the same one."
Li Changsi: "I didn't buy it."
Lin Lushen leaned over to touch the toy. "That must have been bought by my brother-in-law. Wow, there are furry puppies and bunnies hanging on it. You guys are so romantic."
Li Changsi: "I'll make some tea for you. Would you like coffee or tea?"
The kitchen has a coffee machine and fresh coffee beans, as well as tea leaves.
"Tea."
Li Changsi entered the kitchen and reached out to take the tea leaves from the storage cabinet, only to see the tea box being taken down easily. Lu Qi was standing behind her, and the way he reached out to take the tea box was as if he was hugging her from behind.
He put down the tea box, half-leaning his strong arms on the countertop. He didn't touch her at all, confining her in his small space. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Changsi, how long is the cooling-off period? I'm getting a little impatient."
Li Changsi's body stiffened, and he felt the temperature in the narrow space suddenly rise. In front of him was the cold cooking table, and behind him was his hot body, and he was in a dilemma.
