Xie Jinshen's room was not large.
Perhaps because it was originally designed as a maid's room, the room has limited functionality, but it also has its own bathroom, which seems to completely separate the layout from the rest of the room.
As soon as Cen Yu entered the room and closed the door, Xie Jinshen immediately hugged him.
His arms were so tight they almost broke Cen Yu's back.
She longed to merge her entire being into Cen Yu's body, to become one with him.
“…Be gentle.” Cen Yu couldn’t help but groan, then patted Xie Jinshen’s arm.
Xie Jinshen silently hugged him, as if he were hugging a large doll. The two sat on the edge of the bed, and Xie Jinshen almost wanted to pull Cen Yu into his arms.
"Xiao Yu, touch my neck."
Xie Jinshen buried his face in Cen Yu's shoulder, and his voice became muffled.
Cen Yu reached out and awkwardly touched Xie Jinshen's head, then slowly stroked the back of his head and neck. After a moment, Xie Jinshen's body finally relaxed.
He hadn't changed his clothes yet because he had been talking to He Ci and Lao Gao.
Xie Jinshen's arm was pressed tightly against his lower abdomen, feeling the slight rise and fall of his body with each breath.
It was at this moment that Cen Yu's phone suddenly made a sound.
He pulled his arm back, took his phone out of his pocket, and then saw the message to add a friend.
Xie Jinshen was right behind Cen Yu, so he could clearly see what was happening on his screen. He rested his chin on Cen Yu's shoulder and looked at the friend request. "Who is it?"
“Mu Fengyin.” Cen Yu made no attempt to hide it.
He quickly accepted Mu Fengyin's friend request, and after sending him an emoji, he sent him the audio recording file stored on his phone.
[Mu: ...? What is this?]
[Yu: You'll understand when you hear it.]
About a minute later, Mu Fengyin replied with a new message—
[Mu: Where did you record this from?]
[Yu: He was so loud in the bathroom that I couldn't help but record it :)]
There was no reply for a long time. It wasn't until Cen Yu was about to put her phone aside that she saw Mu Fengyin had replied again.
[Mu: Thank you. I have a slow-paced lifestyle variety show, and there happens to be a vacancy for a guest star in one episode.]
Cen Yu immediately understood Mu Fengyin's meaning; he was trying to give him a variety show opportunity.
As a guest on the first episode, it was a small but meaningful experience, and it also served as a way of repaying the favor of recording for Mu Fengyin—the recording was dispensable to Mu Fengyin, so in the end, Cen Yu still came out ahead.
Cen Yu didn't refuse. After sending a thank-you emoji, she prepared to throw her phone aside.
But then he discovered that Mu Fengyin had sent him a voice message.
Just as Cen Yu was about to convert it to text, he saw Xie Jinshen behind him had already turned on the speakerphone for him.
Mu Fengyin's voice appeared beside them—
"I heard that the magazine only has three spots for the cover," Mu Fengyin said softly. "He Ci should receive the news in a few days."
Cen Yu paused for a second before understanding Mu Fengyin's meaning—
The magazine initially only selected Jiang Jueming and Li Yanxiao as candidates, but he guessed that the magazine intended for Zhan Kongqing to be the third candidate.
But since Mu Fengyin has given him this trending topic, the magazine might favor him for some reasons.
Mu Fengyin certainly wouldn't communicate with the magazine about this matter, but ultimately, after trending on social media like this, the magazine might indeed tilt the scales in his favor.
Besides, He Ci already knows about this.
Knowing that he had contact with Mu Fengyin, they would definitely be more inclined to recommend him for a magazine appearance.
Cen Yu pondered for a moment, then pressed the voice button—
"Thanks."
He paused for a moment, then, as if to make amends, sent another message.
"Thank you, Teacher Mu."
Mu Fengyin sent an emoji, thus ending the conversation.
Xie Jinshen simply leaned against Cen Yu's back, watching the two chat... He suddenly remembered the two periods when Cen Yu disappeared from the venue.
The first time was when he was asked to go to the restroom, and the second time was after he stepped down from the stage.
He remembered that Gu Hanyin was the only one in the first restroom, so it was clear that he met Mu Fengyin in the second restroom.
He stood behind Cen Yu, seemingly deep in thought. "Little Yu."
He pressed his forehead against Cen Yu's neck, which was exposed when he lowered his head, and asked, "...Why did Mu Fengyin suddenly follow you on social media?"
Cen Yu didn't try to hide it, but he still concealed the part about the secretly filmed video, only saying that he helped Mu Fengyin subdue a stalker in the toilet.
"Stalker?" Xie Jinshen leaned against Cen Yu. "Is the security in that place that bad?"
"How could a stalker have managed to break in?"
“This place is like a sieve; anyone can come here as long as they have money,” Cen Yu said nonchalantly. “Stalkers can also get in if they buy a media pass.”
Xie Jinshen didn't respond; his gaze was fixed on the phone that Cen Yu had tossed aside.
I feel that things are not as simple as Cen Yu said.
If he were just a stalker, Mu Fengyin would need to pay special attention to Cen Yu's Weibo, give him attention, add his contact information, and provide Cen Yu with some resources.
However, Xie Jinshen did not press the matter further.
In Cen Yu's eyes, he was forever loyal and forever harmless.
"Touch my neck again."
