Ignoring Shi Youxi's mournful and pitiful gaze, Mu Yiran kicked him and, while he was stunned and embarrassed, sent the boy back to his room.
However, whether it was when she was a child or now, Shi Youxi's shyness hasn't changed at all.
A sudden downpour began in the night. Mu Yiran, who was fast asleep, suddenly felt a chill and was about to wake up when she touched a heat source next to her. She instinctively hugged it and fell asleep until dawn.
When Mu Yiran opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the other half of the bed. Her sleeping posture was spread out like a starfish, with her left hand and left foot straddling the other side of the bed. Mu Yiran slid her hands and feet up and down, and the only warmth in the bed was from her body heat.
The whole room was warm. I thought it was because I had opened the window last night that it was letting in drafts, but all the windows were closed tightly.
The phone kept ringing. Mu Yiran brushed her teeth while looking at it. It was Li Buhuo's work report.
Apart from the most ordinary new employees, most of the employees at Cheng's work on a 996 work schedule. Therefore, even in this kind of weather where not even a dog wants to go out for a walk, Mu Yiran still has to go to this grueling job.
In the group, after Li Bu Huo finished explaining the work progress of the week, each project leader gave a brief report. The last one was Chen Yiting. Perhaps because Mu Yi Ran had heard about the small argument on the phone yesterday, she now felt isolated and helpless when she saw Chen Yiting in the group.
[Guo from the PR department: We were supposed to shoot a short video about Chen Shu today, why haven't the people from their company arrived yet?]
Chen Shu is a rising male star who gained popularity last year. Not only is he handsome, but he also graduated from Peking University. In just one year, he rose from an 18th-tier star to a third-tier star. His big-budget historical drama has been moved up in time and will soon be available online.
The company finally managed to secure a collaboration with him, which included not only a short film about his participation in the college entrance examination, but also tips for preparing for the exam, such as voice navigation for the exam venue and a phone alarm clock that would ensure he wouldn't be late.
Chen Shu has many fans who are also this year's test takers. Because of the huge traffic and attention, the company attaches great importance to this project, but now the person who was supposed to come for the shoot can no longer be contacted.
There was a few seconds of silence in the group chat, then a while later.
[Chen Yiting: His agent just contacted him, saying there was an unexpected schedule change and the date needs to be rescheduled.]
[Want to see what you're saying.jpg]
[Guo Ge from the PR department: What are you talking about? Are you kidding me? We made the arrangements a few days ago, and everyone's waiting here. Reschedule? Are you going to pay for all the extra work and wages for today?!]
[Chen Yiting: I'm sorry, we made arrangements the day before yesterday, but they suddenly changed the date... I know I was wrong, I'm kneeling down.jpg]
[Chen Yiting: But! I've arranged for student representatives from four major high schools to film this project first today.]
[Guo Ge from the Publicity Department: The Shangzu people are here. Come here! Take them back. We finally managed to get them to work with a photographer, and now that they're gone, you can leave too.]
[Smoking, holding a gun, get the hell out of here! .jpg]
[Li Bu Huo: Smiling gently.jpg]
"..."
Mu Yiran was engrossed in watching the argument when a warm glass suddenly touched her cheek.
"What are you looking at, sister? Why are you frowning so much?"
Mu Yiran snapped out of her daze, took the hot milk, and realized that only she and Shi Youxi were in the restaurant.
"It's not the weekend, why are you up so early?" Mu Yiran asked, glancing at the clock while sipping her drink.
It's only 8:30.
Shi Youxi sat diagonally next to her, propping his chin up with his hand, his eyes fixed on Mu Yiran's actions of drinking milk. "I have to get up early to study."
"Study hard when it's time to study, and relax on weekends so you don't get fatigued." Moreover, for people who are always self-disciplined in their studies, appropriate play and relaxation are also important, rather than constant high-intensity study.
but…
Mu Yiran then took a good look at Shi Youxi. The young man was wearing a ginger-yellow turtleneck sweater, looking flamboyant yet handsome, with an exquisite long necklace adorning the collar of the sweater.
"I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, where did you buy all these little pieces of jewelry?" She was very pleased with both the color scheme and the design. They looked like the work of a young designer, not catering to market aesthetics, but with a unique and spirited style.
Shi Youxi hooked his slender hand onto the chain on his chest, rubbed it a few times with his fingertips, and smiled at Mu Yiran, saying, "Sister likes it very much? I made it myself."
Mu Yiran asked in surprise, "You made this yourself? A design genius is right next to me?"
Shi Youxi loved hearing her praise, and with her eyes crinkling, she kept showing Mu Yiran the things she had designed.
Mu Yiran was indeed shocked, and Shi Youxi had not undergone systematic learning yet, but had perfectly inherited Bai Shengsheng's design talent.
As Mu Yiran ate, she occasionally put food on Shi Youxi's plate. Her phone kept ringing. Mu Yiran glanced at it and saw that the group chat had been turned into a one-sided attack on Chen Yiting by the PR team. The girl was too embarrassed to speak up.
Mu Yiran sighed silently. She asked Li Buhuo to contact Chen Shu's agent to see if they could cut in line. Besides, it was originally their arrangement, but celebrities have to be flattered. They could only swallow their anger if they were played. The most important thing was that the project was completed smoothly.
"Is your sister really bothered by this?"
Shi Youxi glanced at her phone. Mu Yiran had just mentioned to him that she was going to the company to work overtime later.
"It is a bit troublesome." Mu Yiran was looking through the information of other candidates, and the faces of the male stars flashed by in her eyes one by one.
Seeing how focused she was on the subject, Shi Youxi felt a pang of guilt and leaned closer to Mu Yiran, saying, "I can help you solve this problem, but you have to let me go to the company with you."
Mu Yiran looked up at him as expected. "You? Do you know that Chen Shu?"
"No, the group recently invested in a TV series, I think it's the one he starred in."
The implication is that the Shi family is now Chen Shu's financial backer.
"Of course I'm happy to, but what are you going to do at the company with me? Aren't you going to study?" Mu Yiran raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"It's not like what my sister said, that weekends are for playing. I want to go and visit."
Just then, the man with the tattooed arm who had been staying overnight returned from his morning run. He ran into the restaurant, drenched in sweat, and the two people at the table all turned their attention to him.
Mu Yiran swore that she was simply admiring the tattooed arm and the man's muscular physique, and had absolutely no ulterior motives.
But the way those two people looked at him took on a different meaning.
The tattooed man looked down at his close-fitting sportswear that he had worn for several years. Even though it didn't show any skin, why did Cheng Ran see him as if he were naked?
Could you please not look at me so blatantly? It's making me feel embarrassed!
Shi Youxi, with a gloomy face, looked the tattooed arm up and down, his expression unreadable.
While Mu Yiran went upstairs to change, Shi Youxi and Hua Bi walked to the side hall. The majestic castle was now complete, and Hua Bi couldn't help but adjust it a few times.
"Is there something you need, young master?"
Shi Youxi watched him touch the building blocks and take out his phone to take pictures until the tattooed man turned around to look at him, then said, "Go find Chen Shu and take him to Cheng's Company later."
After thinking for a long time, the tattooed man asked, "Who is Chen Shu?"
Shi Youxi retorted coldly, "How would I know?"
Tattooed arm: ".............." How the hell is he supposed to find it?
Does it mean that all the people in the capital, including Chen Shu, have been brought here?
Hmm... Why does it feel like the young master has a problem with him today?
"Uh... if we don't know anything about whether it's a man or a woman, or what they do, the brothers won't look for them."
Shi Youxi strolled behind the Lego building and said casually, "It seems like he's filming a movie. Find him, talk to him about a collaboration, and then have him go to Cheng's immediately."
"Cooperation?" The tattooed man scratched his head. "Young Master, isn't this Shi Si's responsibility? I'm good at catching people, but cooperation......"
Shi Youxi nodded: "Can't do it?"
Just as the tattooed man was about to nod, he saw the boy's slender hand reach towards the top of the Lego castle.
With a flick of the index finger and thumb, the building block falls to the ground.
Tattooed arm: "........."
#Silence with hand on forehead#
A few seconds later, he tremblingly pulled out a cigarette.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the tattooed man said listlessly, "Touch me one more time, and I'll give you my life."
