When Shen first entered the entertainment industry, in order to achieve his goals, he ate only vegetables and corn every day, occasionally having an egg white, and even suffered from malnutrition and was hospitalized.
"Even if you eat more, you won't gain much weight. At most, your face will be a little chubby. Many people liked you when you had a chubby face before."
Mu Lengshan offered a rare gentle explanation, determined to change Chen Shi's mind.
As a celebrity, Shen Shi is actually a bit sensitive; she can't help but feel sad when she sees negative comments.
Therefore, he rarely browses Weibo, and most of the information he receives comes from his agent.
He had never heard of Mu Lengshan's arguments before.
"If it doesn't look good for even one day, the fans will disappear immediately!"
"Idols rely on their looks; without those looks, they're nothing!"
Mu Lengshan's words had a great impact on Shen Shi.
"Really?" he asked, tilting his head back.
"Of course it's true!" Mu Lengshan replied with absolute certainty.
Shen Shichang looks younger than his peers, and he was only nineteen years old when he first debuted, so many netizens thought he was a minor.
At that time, Shen Shi had not yet undergone idol training, and her cheeks were still chubby.
This early, awkward phase earned him a large following of "mommy fans," and that fanbase remains strong to this day.
[What an adorable baby! Why isn't it mine?]
[Steal! Steal!]
Because the Weibo accounts of the "mommy fans" are all very interesting, Mu Lengshan has followed several of them and knows them quite well.
"And what about you? Do you like me when I'm chubby?"
Shen Shi stared intently at Mu Lengshan, anxiously awaiting her answer.
"I'm a fan of yours too, of course I like you." Mu Lengshan pinched Chen Shi's face and replied with a teasing smile.
Mu Lengshan's answer, "I like you because you're a fan," made Shen Shi feel a pang of sadness.
"Sister, don't you love me anymore?" Shen Shi asked, pinching her fingertips with a wronged expression.
Mu Lengshan was at a loss for words when Shen Shi suddenly asked her a question.
"What do you want me to do?" she asked, staring at Shen Shi's eyes with a puzzled look.
Do you want me to love you, or not?
Mu Lengshan's icy fingers traced Shen Shi's warm cheeks.
She was genuinely confused and helpless.
"I want you to love me."
Shen Shi grasped her icy hand, held it to his lips, his wet eyes pleading for the adoption of a small animal.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shi would say such a blunt thing, and Mu Lengshan's hand paused slightly.
“You shouldn’t have told me this,” she said in a calm reproach.
These words are an accusation that Chen Shi is unreasonable, making such casual requests for sincerity, and on what grounds?
Admittedly, she deeply loves Shen Shi, but she is a living, breathing human being, and she can also get hurt and feel heartache.
Mu Lengshan no longer dared to ask for Shen Shi's love.
She needs Shen Shi by her side to feel alive, and Mu Lengshan will exchange something in return for this need.
Love is an ethereal thing, but companionship is real. No matter the reason, it's enough for two people to be together, regardless of whether they love each other or not.
With a businessman's mindset, Mu Lengshan began to weigh the pros and cons. Perhaps the happiness that Shen Shi could buy with money was more worthwhile than winning his heart.
From Mu Lengshan's icy gaze, Shen Shi understood her meaning.
He had hurt Mu Lengshan too deeply in the past, and she was no longer willing to open her heart. It would take a long time to regain her trust.
"I love you."
Shen Shi understood this, and he kissed Mu Lengshan's hand, speaking in a muffled tone.
His eyes were filled with sincerity, and Mu Lengshan's heart skipped a beat. Chen Shi's behavior made her a little flustered.
"Whether you mean it sincerely or not, I must admit that I'm very happy to hear that," Mu Lengshan said sincerely.
Shen was deeply moved by the frankness in her eyes.
Even after being hurt, she still chooses not to run away, and still doesn't resist admitting that she's attracted to him. How can there be such a brave person!
"I am 100% sincere towards you." Shen Shi, bewitched by Mu Lengshan, was like her most sincere believer.
Mu Lengshan brought her lips to his, and Shen Shi carried her towards the bedroom.
The two indulged in a wild night.
Shen Shi's biological clock is very punctual, and he woke up early the next morning.
I turned on my phone and saw the time was 7:32.
The woman beside him was still fast asleep, so Chen Shi got up quietly so as not to wake her.
I still had some ingredients left from yesterday's purchase, so I quickly cooked a delicious breakfast using them.
The fragrance woke Mu Lengshan in the bedroom, and she opened her eyes as soon as Shen Shi opened the door.
Chen Shi sat down by the bed and gently stroked her hair. Mu Lengshan remained lying there lazily, showing no intention of getting up.
When Shen tried to pull off her blanket, he was slapped across the face.
"Ugh~" Mu Lengshan complained vaguely.
Indeed, the most beautiful communication between people is physical communication. After last night's passionate night, Mu Lengshan was much more tender and gentle towards him.
It was rare to see her act so childlike, so Shen Shi pinched her cheek and teased her with a smile, "If President Mu doesn't get up soon, the sun will be high in the sky."
"It's all your fault!"
Thinking about this, Mu Lengshan was furious. Last night, Shen Shi had acted as if in revenge, leaving her with aches and pains all over her body.
"It was a mutual decision, so how can you blame me alone? President Mu was quite proactive too~"
Shen Shi's irritating retort.
Mu Lengshan blushed with embarrassment and angrily kicked Shen Shi.
The two bickered for a while before leaving the bedroom. By then, their breakfast had gotten a bit cold, so Chen Shi took it to the microwave to heat it up.
"If you weren't a celebrity, you wouldn't starve even if you opened a restaurant."
Mu Lengshan ate without looking up, while simultaneously praising Chen Shi in a vague tone.
The fact that even the most discerning young lady praised him speaks volumes about Shen Shi's excellent craftsmanship.
But when faced with the prospect of becoming a chef, Shen Shi felt it was unnecessary. He bluntly retorted, "Running a restaurant is too tiring, I won't do it!"
It was perfectly normal for Shen Shi to say such a thing.
Sometimes Mu Lengshan felt that Shen Shi was more like a pampered young master who had grown up in luxury than she was.
"It's a good thing you became a celebrity, otherwise I can't even imagine how your boss would scold you if you worked with this attitude."
Mu Lengshan spoke frankly about what was on her mind.
"If I weren't a celebrity, I wouldn't have to work!" Shen Shi said, looking puzzled.
"Then what are you doing, sponging off your parents at home?" Mu Lengshan asked, equally puzzled.
Chen Shi, with an air of "you don't understand," pointed at Mu Lengshan and said:
"Given my family's situation, I can't even afford to sponge off my parents. What I mean is, don't I have you to support me? Mr. Mu is so rich, living the high life won't be a problem for me~"
Unexpectedly, it turned out that they were plotting against her. Mu Lengshan was left speechless and exasperated by Shen Shi's words.
