Chapter 4 Happy Day at Work: On his fourth day, he felt like the nanny wanted to get rid of him...
No. 7 Seaview Bay.
The room on the far right of the third floor.
Thin moonlight pierced through the large French windows, silently highlighting Wen Hezhou's leisurely demeanor on the sofa.
The assistant didn't quite capture the image of Wen Hezhou as calm and composed in her mind.
This room is where his teacher, Mr. Wen, lives.
The lights were not on here.
Even by the faint moonlight, the assistant could still tell that the tall man had reached his limit.
His teacher, Wen Hezhou, is a movie star. Perhaps it is because his acting skills are so good that he can remain completely undetectable despite suffering from anorexia for a long time.
Only during rest periods could his assistant clearly hear his slightly suppressed, heavy, and labored breathing.
The assistant said with some concern, "Should I go and call a private doctor?" His teacher, Ms. Wen, was in a very serious condition.
A doctor lives next door to this villa.
An assistant can be called over quickly with just a few words.
Wen Hezhou simply shook his head slightly. His profile was paler than during the day, especially under the dim moonlight, which made him appear even more fragile and vulnerable.
But he knew better than anyone that this was stomach pain from not eating for a long time.
This is a psychological issue.
Wen Hezhou was unwilling to open his heart to anyone.
Naturally, anorexia cannot be treated or relieved by any medication.
Wen Hezhou's cold gaze remained fixed on the water glass in his hand.
He has always been averse to food.
He has always eaten very little.
They could make a living by eating very little.
As time went on, his anorexia worsened.
The condition is so severe that it is almost impossible to eat, and any attempt to eat will result in vomiting.
The assistant and agent were helpless in this regard.
All they could do was search for delicious food in an attempt to cure Wen Hezhou's anorexia.
But we've looked for good chefs, good restaurants, and even internationally renowned chefs several times.
It's completely useless.
The assistant even felt that the nanny Xie Ruan's efforts were unlikely to be effective.
But eating something is always better than not eating at all.
When the assistant brought over the king crab omelet and milk, her fingers were trembling slightly with guilt.
The assistant didn't know how well Xie Ruan had cooked, but he thought it smelled delicious, even better than any other food he had ever smelled.
The food smelled even better than the world-renowned chefs that Wen Hezhou had previously hired.
The assistant subconsciously swallowed and moved closer to the movie star.
Bathed in moonlight, Wen Hezhou approached the floor-to-ceiling window, where the penetrating light sent shivers down his spine.
The assistant felt as if he had been completely seen through.
The assistant had no idea what would happen if Xie Ruan found out that he had asked her for help.
But he was terrified, terrified of the unknown.
He didn't know how angry Wen Hezhou would be.
The assistant carefully placed the plate down, and the aroma instantly filled the room.
The assistant glanced tentatively at Wen Hezhou.
Wen Hezhou's gaze remained unchanged.
really.
The assistant confirmed that Xie Ruan's meal was unnecessary.
Teacher Wen's anorexia is still severe.
The assistant looked dejected.
Wait until the fragrance becomes increasingly strong.
As it gets stronger and stronger.
The assistant, unusually so, glanced at the aloof Wen Hezhou and took half a step toward the food.
?
Is that what he thinks?
The assistant's brain went blank.
Then the movie star looked at the rice on his plate.
I tentatively took a bite.
?
They ate it! They ate it!! Their teacher, Mr. Wen, ate it.
The assistant instinctively ran towards the trash can.
The imagined nausea did not occur.
The assistant even watched as the movie star took a bite.
I took another bite.
He ate the entire plate clean, and then he and the plate were sent out together.
The assistants were all completely bewildered.
?
At his house, Teacher Wen actually ate dinner!
This is unbelievable!!!
The sudden change left the assistant bewildered.
Even after leaving the room with the plate, the assistant's mind remained blank.
His teacher, Ms. Wen, actually ate!
The assistant repeatedly confirmed, and overjoyed, he couldn't help but send Xie Ruan another 1000 yuan red envelope. His eyes no longer held any prejudice against Xie Ruan, only adoration as if looking at a god.
He never expected that the problem he and his agent had been searching for so long with famous chefs to solve would be solved by Xie Ruan, the nanny they looked down on the most!
The assistant took a deep breath.
He kept it up until he was sure Xie Ruan had accepted it and that Xie Ruan had promised to keep it a secret.
The assistant had the most peaceful sleep he'd had in months.
*
It all came down in a blur.
The bathroom was filled with the warm steam of hot water.
Wen Hezhou walked out, wiping his slightly damp hair, but his gaze remained fixed on the spot where the empty plate had just been placed, lingering there for a long time.
He hadn't had fried rice with eggs in a long time.
The taste of fried rice with eggs that Wen Hezhou ate as a child flashed through his mind.
The memory is already blurry, but Wen Hezhou still remembers those beautiful moments.
The curtains outside the window were not yet drawn, allowing the moonlight to flow onto Wen Hezhou, giving him a thin blue halo.
He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his silk pajamas, silently adding a layer of aloofness. His tall figure was reflected on the cool summer window, overlapping with the city's bustling light and shadow, making it impossible to see the uncertain emotions on Wen Hezhou's extremely handsome profile.
But his gaze remained fixed in that direction.
He slowly poured himself a glass of whiskey, his sparse hair hanging down, and sipped half a glass. After a long while, as the light of the night gradually faded, he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
*
Wen Hezhou woke up before the sun rose.
The torrential rain in Yungang City continued all night, naturally preventing Wen Hezhou, who always had a habit of jogging in the morning, from doing so.
Wen Hezhou had no choice but to give up his habit of jogging outdoors in the morning and went to the gym next door, where he simply worked up a sweat on the treadmill.
At the same time, his assistant woke up and habitually handed him a glass of warm water.
After drinking the warm water, Wen Hezhou felt much better. He turned his head to look at his drowsy assistant, and in a rarely cold voice, he discussed topics unrelated to work: "Who was the chef last night?"
The assistant's reply should have been quick.
Wen Hezhou clearly saw his assistant reflexively utter a small word, and then abruptly stop.
Wen Hezhou noticed his assistant's tense facial muscles and the fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
I also noticed the assistant's silence.
Wen Hezhou did not want to put too much pressure on his assistant at this time.
Perhaps the assistant didn't remember the chef's name.
Wen Hezhou didn't want to pursue the matter further: "Let's hire him as our private chef, and he can name his own price."
Wen Hezhou did not want his anorexia to affect his work performance.
but……
Clearly, he couldn't hold on much longer.
Even though his acting skills are very good.
He also had to admit that he wasn't invincible.
He's not an iron man who doesn't need to eat.
He also needs to eat, rest, and maintain his daily needs.
Wen Hezhou casually wiped away his sweat and went to the bathroom.
Only the assistant who had secretly asked Xie Ruan to cook for him last night remained, looking utterly defeated, unable to move an inch even after a long pause.
*
The assistant and the movie star went down from the main hall on the first floor.
After taking the elevator downstairs, Xie Ruan had already prepared breakfast.
Xie Ruan heard that the movie star eats very early.
So I got up early, collected 1666 yuan in overtime pay for an hour, and prepared a sumptuous meal of fresh food specially delivered by Pei's Group supermarket.
Xie Ruan was unsure whether Wen Hezhou would come down to eat.
Wen Hezhou sneaked in last night, probably because he was afraid I would disturb him.
But Wen Hezhou did not say he would not eat breakfast.
As a nanny, he has to prepare food regardless of whether the other person eats it or not; it's part of his professional ethics.
As for what to do if Wen Hezhou doesn't eat?
Xie Ruan can certainly eat it herself.
Xie Ruan was humming a song when she turned her head and suddenly saw Wen Hezhou, and she couldn't help but be startled.
Xie Ruan instinctively flinched.
He watched helplessly as Wen Hezhou merely glanced at him before coldly turning his head away.
Xie Ruan looked at Wen Hezhou as if he had seen him, as if he had seen something dirty, and walked away.
Having mustered my courage, I asked politely.
"Want some?
"The Best Actor..."
"grown ups."
Xie Ruan blurted out this name without thinking.
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed red.
It seems that people aren't addressed that way in this era.
Xie Ruan even felt an urge to crawl into the hole.
Fortunately, the movie star ignored him and walked out silently, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
fine……
fine.
It's good that I didn't eat it.
Oh my god, all this delicious food is his!!
Hahaha.
Xie Ruan was overjoyed.
Looking at Wen Hezhou's back, Xie Ruan's mind was completely blank; she felt no resignation at being ignored by Wen Hezhou. All she could think about was Xie Ruan's solitary revelry.
Xie Ruan had no idea that the clothes she was wearing were a collaboration item from an event that Wen Hezhou had previously endorsed.
They had no idea how the movie star frowned slightly when he saw him wearing that outfit.
It's unclear what happened next, but the movie star noticed the faint aroma of food, slowed his pace slightly, and seemed lost in thought.
Xie Ruan was just very serious, very serious, with only one thing on her mind—
Let's go!
Let's hurry up and go!
After he leaves, he's the only one left in the villa!
Xie Ruan's mind was filled with countless happy thoughts.
Wen Hezhou paused slightly, turned his head, and looked at his guilty assistant as if he had thought of something. "Have you contacted him? That private chef?"
Wen Hezhou felt that the smell in the air was somewhat familiar.
He seemed to have sensed something.
Wen Hezhou quietly looked at his assistant.
The assistant was at his wit's end. His teacher, Ms. Wen, was in a very special situation, and simply finding someone to fool her wouldn't work. If he tried to find Xie Ruan in private, it would be exposed sooner or later, and he would only get more punishment for deceiving Ms. Wen for so long.
Assistants actually find it very difficult to admit their mistakes.
However, it's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time, so the assistant still bowed his head earnestly and apologized: "Teacher Wen, I'm sorry, I lied to you..."
Wen Hezhou's expression was inscrutable.
But the assistant no longer had the courage to look. He just pursed his lips, extremely flustered, and licked his dry lips again, his voice trembling slightly: "Last night, no private chefs could deliver, no restaurants could deliver, and even the Rainstorm Convenience Store refused to accept takeout orders."
The assistant dragged out the last syllable, even though he hadn't actually said anything.
But even if the actor is slow-witted, he can understand what comes next.
not to mention.
Wen Hezhou was not slow-witted.
Wen Hezhou didn't let his assistant finish speaking; instead, he turned to look at Xie Ruan, the hero who had cooked the meal the night before.
He hasn't even spoken yet.
Then Xie Ruan was seen wearing a bright smile at a 45-degree angle.
My mind is filled with the image of the movie star leaving at the last minute, and I feel incredibly happy. "Farewell, Mr. Movie Star!"
?
Wen Hezhou frowned slightly.
Wasn't it the nanny who was harassing him?
Why does it seem like they're eager for him to leave now?
Wen Hezhou turned his head to the side, still wondering what the nanny meant by playing hard to get.
But Xie Ruan's mouth was even faster than his:
"Welcome to visit us again."
"..."
Things have come to this.
Xie Ruan's gaze toward him was too intense.
Wen Hezhou attempted to take a step back.
I had no choice but to go out.
