Chapter 362: Surveillance and Self-Piracy
When the elders who are several decades older know more tricks than a younger generation like me...it's really hard to tell what to do.
But on second thought, this is actually just an unexpected and normal situation: Uncle Zhao was a rare highly educated person when he was young, and he had read Western books and broadened his horizons. These "practical" things on the ground have been selling well since they were invented. In fact, the early source of customers for such products in China were Western scholars like Uncle Zhao, right?
Especially since Uncle Zhao runs a film company, he must control the artists under him. If an artist under the company were to have an illegitimate child during the rising period of his career, it would be a big scandal that could affect the business.
Of course, the reason why Uncle Zhao did this was not only because he felt that it was not easy for her and Zhuang Long to get married and have children as they were both in the rising stage of their careers, but also because he was probably afraid that his niece would suffer a loss, right?
After all, no matter from the perspective of age or gender, Su Yun is the one who suffers the loss - being pregnant for ten months is a time-consuming and labor-intensive burden, not to mention that according to Su Yun's real age, she will not be 20 years old until after the Chinese New Year!
Alas, pitiful parents in the world…ah no, pitiful elders in the world.
But the question is - in this situation, should she still pick up these things? !
Su Yun was silent for a moment, then decided to take the initiative and argue: "You already knew what was in this package?"
Zhuang Long still didn't dare to turn around, so he just replied softly: "Yes..."
"Then why didn't you remind me?!" Su Yun knew how to judge the situation, and immediately took a step forward, almost putting her hands on her waist and acting like a wife who was teaching her henpecked husband a lesson...
"I have tried my best to get it back, but I can't beat you..." Zhuang Long said helplessly.
If Su Yun, who is good at fast attack, is really asked to guard something, it will be very difficult even for a grown man like him who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has some martial arts skills.
The only way to deal with this kind of fast-attack character is to catch them off guard and strike without intent: just like Su Yun's master Lu Shaolong, who was obviously not in the same league as many of his opponents in terms of size, but was able to defeat them with his speed advantage - when others can't hit you but you can hit others, even if you are slightly lacking in strength, you can still make a big difference.
However, what Zhuang Long did not expect was that before he could even think of a way to divert Su Yun's attention, the truth about the package had already been revealed to the ground by this naughty kid who only knew how to grow taller but hardly any smarter.
Of course, it is extremely embarrassing, but if left alone, this embarrassment will only last forever...
Thinking of this, Zhuang Long finally sighed and said in the tone of a mature elder who was helplessly cleaning up the mess for a naughty child: "Okay, it's all my fault. Just stand where you are and don't move. I'll pick them up and put them away."
"Ah? Do you still need it? Including tonight, we're only staying here for three nights." Knowing that someone had taken the initiative to clean up the mess, Su Yun's eyes quickly swept to the ground, "Fifty-five - with this number, you can still find one more for eight times a night..."
"This is the amount your uncle estimated for two weeks, when he took some time out from his busy schedule!" Unexpectedly, Su Yun's habit of talking nonsense whenever she showed off was still not getting better. Zhuang Long, who was picking up boxes, almost shouted in exasperation.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Seeing that he was really annoyed, Su Yun quickly put her hands on her face and stepped aside, looking like a person who admitted her mistake and was repentant.
Zhuang Long stuffed the five small boxes he had picked up into the highest shelf of the storage cabinet next to the small bar, then turned around and looked at Su Yun who was giving a "I'm very good" expression.
"Let's just pretend that what happened just now never happened and forget about it..." he said hesitantly.
"What happened just now?" Su Yun looked up at him, "Oh, yes, I can't find the mosquito repellent in your suitcase. You have to help me find it. The mosquitoes here only know how to bully a poor, beautiful, young and smooth-skinned girl like me..."
Seeing that she was able to recite the poem well, Zhuang Long found the mosquito repellent from his suitcase and said, "Here, you can use it first. I'll use it later."
Most areas with mountains, water, flowers, trees and mild weather can support mosquitoes of all sizes that live all year round.
Moreover, these mosquitoes are very bullying and afraid of the strong. The crew members were bitten all over and red without paying attention. Most of them were women with delicate skin. Among them, Su Yun and Lin Qingxia were bitten the most, so much so that they used much more mosquito repellent than others.
"Let's buy a few more bottles when we go out for dinner. These few nights it's either them or me who'll die!" Su Yun finished applying the mosquito repellent while cursing, and then she and Zhuang Long went out at the same time.
Although Su Yun’s “real birthday” is December 31st, she is used to celebrating her birthday on October 1st, which was arranged for her by Grandma Su. Therefore, this year’s birthday party was already arranged in Hong Kong.
But when a group of people want to have fun, of course they can find any nonsensical reason. So, a group of people in the crew came up with a lot of entertainment programs under the name of celebrating Su Yun's "real birthday", filling up the three-day schedule.
During the day they still had some reserve in their eating, drinking and having fun, but at night they were like mad dogs released from their shackles, running around in groups of three or five.
Being touched by this attitude of going crazy while young, even the usually quiet and artistic Lin Qingxia couldn't help but become cheerful, not to mention the two human-shaped Huskies Su Yun and Keanu who said "I don't care about my relatives when I go crazy"...
When Zhuang Long, like a patriarch, finally found Su Yun and Keanu, the two guys who went to the bar to watch the transvestite show in the name of broadening their horizons, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
But one against two is always a disadvantage. Just as Keanu was captured, Su Yun was happily chatting with a handsome young man holding a glass of wine.
"Don't drink wine given by someone you don't know." Zhuang Long frowned.
They all put on some disguises when they came out, and Zhuang Long even wore sunglasses in the middle of the night, so the young handsome guy really didn't recognize that this was the popular movie star - although Hong Kong movies are particularly popular in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand nowadays, most people would not think that they would be able to chat up a real star who came here to play.
Seeing that Zhuang Long and Su Yun both had oriental looks, the young handsome boy asked Su Yun, "Who is he?"
"One of my 'uncles' likes to control people, so I really can't drink the wine you gave me." Su Yun waved his hand.
Not to mention an exposed wine glass, after the popularization of information in the Internet era, it is known that unopened drinks given by strangers should not be drunk - one must be on guard against others, because who knows if there is some strange stuff injected into it by a syringe?
"Come on, did you bring your elders with you? Look, he's been hit on too. Don't be afraid, this wine has a low alcohol content. This is the first time I've met a girl like you who is full of Far Eastern charm. You look a bit like the movie star Mary Sue..." The young handsome guy talked a lot.
Su Yun just smiled and said nothing. She remained unmoved even though the young handsome man talked to her heart's content.
After chatting up the girls for a long time, they found that they were all stubborn. The handsome young man who chatted up Su Yun and the beautiful lady who chatted up Zhuang Long tried for a long time without success, so they left on their own initiative.
"Although you don't have the chance to use those things in the cabinet, you may be lucky - if you go to the hotel and find that everyone is of the same gender, you will be in danger..." Thinking about the "grudge" of Zhuang Long's meddling in everything, Su Yun's tone and words were not very good.
She had been used to being a director and producer with absolute dominance recently, and now that someone had suddenly stepped up to take charge, she felt a little unbalanced.
Or maybe the age gap and past relationship are just excuses, if you don't want to, you don't want to.
It’s not like she hasn’t tried to be nice to him before when she was drunk, but this man still insisted on maintaining the attitude and behavior of an elder. So let him be the “elder”!
And those so-called hormonal throbbings will probably fade away with the passage of time.
When I returned to the villa with a stern face, the room service I had ordered in the morning had already been prepared.
Knowing the itinerary of Su Yun and others, a sumptuous midnight snack and heart-shaped scented candles were reserved in the living room, which seemed to be a complimentary package to allow them to relax and rest more comfortably after returning.
"I wish you a wonderful night." After arranging everything, the staff politely closed the door and left.
Su Yun didn't dare to eat or drink carelessly outside, but now she was really hungry. Seeing the rich midnight snack on the table with exquisitely carved scented candles, she couldn't help but start eating.
"You didn't eat or drink much tonight, right? Here, I'll give you one of these grilled oysters." Su Yun looked up and saw Zhuang Long still standing aside, so she took the initiative to greet him.
Perhaps dining table communication is always the most accurate and effective way of communication. After Zhuang Long sat down silently, the two people who had previously disliked each other started to eat supper facing each other skillfully.
As expected of a top-notch expensive villa, even the midnight snack included a sumptuous seafood feast... Su Yun ate prawns and drank Tom Yum Goong soup while giving all the leeks in another plate that she didn't like to eat to Zhuang Long.
Unlike Su Yun who was eager to eat, Zhuang Long ate slowly. After Su Yun finished his meal and played with the scented candle for a while, he had only eaten half of it.
"I'm going to take a shower first." Seeing that he could probably take another ten minutes to eat, Su Yun casually put the scented candles on her side and placed them together on his side, then planned to get up and go back to the room to get clothes and wash up.
After returning to the room, she lingered for a while out of habit. When she opened her suitcase to pack her clothes, Su Yun felt hotter and hotter.
Is the air conditioner broken?
This was the first thought that came to Su Yun’s mind.
Looking up at the air conditioner, it was a very comfortable 26 degrees. Su Yun then raised his hand to test the air outlet - it was a slightly cool air supply, so it looked like the air conditioner was not a suspect.
I picked up the remote control and turned down the temperature by two degrees, but it unexpectedly became even hotter - a strange, slightly itchy, unprecedented heat that seemed to come from within.
When Su Yun walked out of the living room, holding onto the wall, she saw Zhuang Long frowning as he looked at an English flyer.
"Is there something wrong with the food?!" Su Yun asked in surprise and doubt.
"No." He shook his head, then put the flyer on the table again, "Or... you can read it yourself."
Su Yun walked over puzzledly and picked up the flyer to take a look: the dishes and ingredients of the couple's set meal were all written on it, and at first glance there was nothing wrong.
"Look here..." Zhuang Long clicked on the small text in the upper left corner.
Su Yun squinted her eyes and took a closer look: "Specially made aromatherapy candles... have a mild aphrodisiac effect... and are even more effective when paired with food..."
My goodness, we have been on guard against this wave day and night, but it is impossible to prevent it!
"How do you feel?" After a while, Su Yun asked with difficulty.
"I eat more than you, and you just put all this next to me..." Zhuang Long pointed to the two scented candles in his hand.
Su Yun nodded and walked towards the door: "I understand."
"Where do you want to go?" Zhuang Long asked from behind.
"I just want to go out for a while..." He calmed down for a moment, so as not to make the same mistake of committing a crime while drunk again.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked again, his tone a little less stiff than usual.
"Anyway, we don't have to stay here!" Su Yun replied unhappily.
It's as if I can hear the sound of the fire burning in my heart.
No matter how much she interacted with young boys, she always remained sober and rational, and knew the limits and distance.
But in this state now, if I go out rashly, whether I encounter some danger or do something wrong in my confused state...it's hard to say.
Instead, I stayed here——
Here he is, an "elder" who can maintain his sanity and watch over and care for the younger generation who may not be so clear-headed.
Even if neither of them can maintain a clear mind...
Various conditions, such as the couple's villa far away from human habitation and the safety measures still hidden in the closet, are enough to give them the confidence to do whatever they want and make up for their mistakes.
Once people have a way out, they seem to suddenly develop endless courage.
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Su Yun subconsciously struggled. However, the man didn't care about her pushing and struggling at all. He reached out his hand from the gap at her waist when she tried to counterattack, and locked the half-open door with his backhand.
Then, there was a hot and overwhelming breath that enveloped him, leaving no room for rejection.
This was not the first time he had committed theft.
Compared with the first time when they were restrained and oppressive, this time the entanglement was more obviously driven by the self-consciousness deep in the heart.
Under the release of external factors, all previous foresight, self-discipline and courtesy will be separated, disintegrated, melted and reunited, until finally erupting into reckless madness.
From those eyes filled with the thick night and hazy moonlight, she seemed to see herself like a moth entangled in a raging fire, unable to escape and could only sink into it.
"Calm down..."
The broken words were swallowed up by the lips that were pressed against her again, and the dying moth was once again forced into a deeper entanglement.
