Chapter 38
Yu Xia stood tall and straight, with a firm gaze and a strong, resonant voice.
However, her gaze would always fall on the script in Gu Yubai's hand, intentionally or unintentionally. When Gu Yubai noticed, she would quickly look away, straighten her body, look straight ahead, and have an upright expression.
They deliberately and vehemently expressed that "I have no interest in it."
Gu Yubai: "..."
Why not act it even more realistically?
He didn't know how Yu Xia had changed so much in the short time it took to record the audio, becoming someone he couldn't understand, unlike the time he had called her out to talk to him alone before.
Oh well, anyway, small-time streamers are different from others.
It's normal for things to be a little strange, otherwise he wouldn't have so many surprises.
Gu Yubai has always been very tolerant of Yu Xia.
“Let’s go,” he said.
"Mmm." Yu Xia was very proactive this time, quickly picking up her bag from the sofa and following behind him.
As he got into the car, he was still thinking about how to hide himself well so that Gu Yubai would think he didn't know he was doing that kind of thing, thus maintaining his self-esteem.
She knew that people become vulnerable and sensitive when a secret is exposed to others.
Therefore, Yu Xia was always very accommodating to Gu Yubai's requests. Whenever Gu Yubai spoke, she would be the first to respond, afraid that Gu Yubai would feel discriminated against or uncomfortable.
Seeing this reaction, Fu Ze, sitting in the passenger seat, laughed so hard his shoulders were shaking.
Although Gu Yubai was quite puzzled by Yu Xia's behavior, he did not have any other thoughts. He just felt that Yu Xia must have her reasons for doing so.
But his patience with Yu Xia doesn't mean that the other person in the same space will have the same level of patience.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Yubai asked bluntly, turning his attention to Fu Ze.
He had a gut feeling that the two men must have done something he didn't know about while he was away.
Otherwise, how do you explain this feeling of playing a riddle?
It must be Fu Ze's problem.
"Laugh..." Fu Ze pointed out the window, "The weather is so nice today, isn't that something to be happy about?"
"Right, Yu Xia?"
Yu Xia nodded vigorously.
Gu Yubai: "..."
I've never seen you so leisurely and refined before.
After the meal, Gu Yubai drove Yu Xia home.
Yu Xia's mind was still preoccupied with the fact that Gu Yubai had sacrificed himself to dub erotic novels for the sake of his employees. She didn't even realize something was wrong when Gu Yubai took her home without asking her.
After getting off the bus, he waved goodbye and thanked the people, then returned home with the important news he had received that day.
Then I silently vowed in my heart that I must be a good employee!
—
Good employee Yu Xia received news the next day that she had to go on a business trip with her boss.
When Sister Zhang came to inform them, everyone looked at her with pity.
Yu Xia: "..."
No, she meant to say we should be good employees, but it doesn't have to be shown so quickly!
She didn't say it was now.
That must take time... how can it just happen like that?
Although it was sudden and she didn't want to accept it, Yu Xia thought about how Gu Yubai had gone to dub erotic novels for them.
So what's wrong with her going on a business trip with Gu Yubai and helping the boss share some of the burden?
Looking at her naive colleagues in the office who knew nothing about the situation, Yu Xia sighed and felt a sense of mission.
No, no.
It's better if she knows nothing; let her bear all of this.
The rest of you should continue to be happy and innocent kids.
In the afternoon, Yu Xia quickly packed her things and prepared for her first business trip.
Yu Xia thought that each department would send one person, but when she arrived at the airport, she found that it was only herself and Gu Yubai.
Yu Xia suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that Gu Yubai suspects she discovered his secret and then wants to secretly take her outside to kill her to silence her?
Otherwise, how can you explain that he only took her on the business trip and didn't even invite the manager? It's just because she was the only ordinary employee who knew his secret yesterday!
"Mr. Gu, why are there only two of us?" Yu Xia asked with difficulty.
Her expression was tense, as if she was about to hear something horrifying.
Gu Yubai glanced at her, showing no embarrassment, and said bluntly, "I have no money."
It's not that he doesn't have money, it's just that he doesn't want unnecessary people to come.
However, he didn't want to tell Yu Xia the real reason, so he just came up with the most straightforward and simple excuse without thinking.
However, these words only reinforced Yu Xia's suspicions.
Holy crap! They really came to kill me and silence me!
Yu Xia's mind was already filled with the thousands of suspense films she had watched.
In the desolate wilderness, a Chang'an carriage, a corpse.
Everything about him fits Gu Yubai perfectly.
Especially with his face, Yu Xia could already imagine him dressed all in black, expressionless, approaching her with a saw...
"Now that you know about this, don't blame your bad luck."
"Why haven't you put the things in yet?" The voice that perfectly matched the one in my mind suddenly rang in my ears.
Yu Xia was jolted awake from her reverie.
Following the sound, she saw Gu Yubai standing next to the conveyor belt, looking at her. He frowned, his expression a mixture of confusion and worry: "What are you thinking about? Why haven't you made a sound for so long?"
Yu Xia snapped out of her reverie and quickly placed her suitcase on the conveyor belt: "Sorry, Mr. Gu. I was daydreaming."
As he put Yu Xia down, he thought to himself: What else could I be thinking? I'm just afraid you'll destroy the evidence for me!
Gu Yubai, completely oblivious to Yu Xia's fear, asked her with concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yu Xia nodded.
Gu Yubai didn't say anything more.
After checking in their luggage, Gu Yubai suddenly told Yu Xia to wait for him at the departure lounge.
Yu Xia found a seat and sat down, watching the broadcast on the screen.
He tapped his toes on the ground a few times, listening to the noise of the people around him.
Just as Gu Yubai was listening to the gossip of the man next to him, who was talking about how his pigs had given birth and he was going back to sell them for a good price, Gu Yubai returned.
He also returned with the two new tickets he had just acquired.
"President Gu," Yu Xia called out to him.
Gu Yubai nodded, then handed one of the tickets in his hand to Yu Xia.
Yu Xia took it, then her expression froze.
Why were we switched to first class?
The person who had just been saying he had no money was now completely unashamed, openly holding his first-class ticket and saying to her, "Let's go, let's wait in the VIP lounge."
Gu Yubai walked ahead for a while, then noticed that the people behind him hadn't followed. He turned around and found Yu Xia still staring blankly at the plane ticket in her hand.
"Yu Xia".
Yu Xia snapped out of her daze and quickly followed, asking, "Mr. Gu, why did you suddenly want to upgrade to a cabin? It must be very expensive."
Yu Xia's face was full of worry.
Didn't you say you didn't have the money? Then why upgrade to a cabin? It's such a waste.
How many erotic novels would I have to sell to make that money back?
Gu Yubai said, "It's nothing."
After saying that, he remembered the excuse he had made up earlier, so he added, "It's just two people, it won't be that expensive."
Noticing that Yu Xia looked worried because he had spent more money, he paused and then said, "I'm not used to crowded places."
"Oh, I see..." I can understand, after all, it's normal for a boss to have some demands. But isn't this a special time? I'm even writing erotic novels to subsidize the studio.
Yu Xia, standing beside him, said with regret, "But we were upgraded after checking in our luggage, so we missed out on the priority baggage service. It's a bit of a loss."
We're already broke, and to spend money and still miss out on services is a huge loss!
Seeing her indignant expression, Gu Yubai chuckled softly and said the same thing: "It's nothing."
Seeing Yu Xia's reaction makes it far more worthwhile than the money spent on the upgrade.
After boarding the plane, Yu Xia intended to maintain her professionalism, adhering to the spirit of "I won't sleep until the boss does," determined to do all the necessary preparations for the boss and demonstrate the qualities of an excellent employee.
But as soon as she boarded the plane, Yu Xia felt sleepy, her eyelids drooping uncontrollably. She wanted to try to keep her eyes open and stay awake until the plane took off, otherwise it would be too unprofessional. But Gu Yubai, who had just sat down, said to her first, "Take a nap and get some rest."
Gu Yubai got her a blanket.
Alright... since the boss has spoken, I might as well comply.
Yu Xia took the blanket: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu."
Yu Xia adjusted the chair to a comfortable position, covered herself with the blanket, and nestled comfortably in the chair. After a while, her eyelids gradually closed.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered the question Gu Yubai had asked her before she registered.
Nestled comfortably in her chair, she thought vaguely.
President Gu is so kind; he'd rather suffer himself than let his employees suffer.
She will definitely work hard to repay President Gu.
Yu Xia fell asleep.
A steady breathing came from beside me.
Gu Yubai put down the newspaper and looked to the side.
Yu Xia's chin was covered by the blanket, revealing only the upper half of her small and quiet face. Her usually bright and lively eyes were covered by her eyelids, and her long and thick eyelashes drooped down like butterflies. Her eyebrows were naturally smooth, and she had a peaceful and serene look on her face.
I never expected someone who's usually so boisterous to sleep so quietly.
Gu Yubai looked at it and couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes softening.
He quietly took out his phone, opened the camera, and gently pointed the camera at Yu Xia's sleeping face before pressing the shutter button.
However, the moment he pressed the shutter button, the phone's rear camera emitted a blinding light and flashed unexpectedly.
Oh no! I forgot to turn off the flash!
Gu Yubai quickly blocked the rear camera and then immediately went to look at Yu Xia.
Fortunately, Yu Xia only frowned slightly, turned around, buried her face deeper into the blanket, and continued to drift off to sleep.
Seeing that Yu Xia had not been awakened by the stabbing, Gu Yubai breathed a sigh of relief.
He straightened the blanket that had slipped off Yu Xia's shoulder before turning back to his chair and examining the photos he had just taken.
Gu Yubai rarely takes photos; his phone is mostly filled with work documents, making him seem like a heartless and emotionless robot with no life but only work.
Gu Yubai opened the photo he had just taken.
It's quite remarkable that someone with absolutely no photography experience could take such good photos.
In the photo, the light is soft and yellow. Yu Xia's face is half-covered in a blanket, her hair softly lying on both sides. She is sleeping peacefully and looks incredibly beautiful.
Gu Yubai looked at the photo, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
He then saved the photo to his personal photo album.
