Chapter 6
Looking at Su Xuan's appearance, the man smiled, and then his gaze turned to Shanhui.
Shan Hui subconsciously hid behind Su Xuan and instinctively grinned: "Hehehe?"
"?" The man paused, then smiled calmly, and asked casually, "Friend?"
Su Xuan came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said with a red face: "Yes, cough, my new brother likes to smile when he sees people..."
On the way, Su Xuan had confirmed that the little Shanhui didn't have a name yet. He hesitated for a moment and didn't continue. He turned around and introduced Shanhui seriously: "This is Gu Shuo, our neighbor."
Shanhui looked at the man named Gu Shuo, who was also looking at him thoughtfully.
Shanhui said weakly: "Hello..."
"Hello." Gu Shuo replied with a chuckle, without asking any further questions.
——You always look so beautiful when you smile!
Su Xuan's little heart was beating wildly.
Under Gu Shuo's gaze, Su Xuan frantically fumbled for the key in his pocket. He lowered his head while searching, and laughed with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's already past twelve o'clock. I'm so sleepy. Why are you up so late today? You should go to bed early later..."
Su Xuan blabbered away, and Gu Shuo, seemingly in no hurry to open the door, replied leisurely, "Well, something came up short today. Are you also busy with work?"
He glanced at Su Xuan and said, "You look very nice today."
The man's voice was deep and pleasant.
Su Xuan's ears turned red, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest!
"Yeah, haha, yes, that's right, today is a special day——"
As he said that, he took out the key, but unexpectedly he also took out the coin that Lu Tao had thrown to him during the meeting in the daytime.
The coin fell out of his pocket and landed upright on the ground with a slight sound. It actually stopped on the ground and rolled straight forward.
Su Xuan was stunned: "Ah!"
Gu Shuo was about to speak when he saw Su Xuan suddenly running after the coin...
Then, with a light pounce, he grasped the coin with both hands, picked it up, wiped it clean with the hem of his clothes, and examined it carefully, as if he was afraid that this extremely hard RMB would be broken...
Gu Shuo was slightly startled and asked, "Are you okay?"
Su Xuan squatted on the ground with his back to him and replied without turning his head: "Yeah, it's okay."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, lowered his head and fiddled with the shiny one-yuan RMB, and walked back until he reached Shanhui, still with his head lowered, a very happy look on his face.
Gu Shuo looked at the small coin in his hand, then looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Shan Hui shrank his neck, tugged at Su Xuan's clothes, and whispered, "Brother."
Su Xuan reacted and quickly raised his head, his gaze returning to Gu Shuo: "Ah, then, good night, Gu Shuo!"
Gu Shuo stared at him, a gentle smile on his lips: "Good night."
Su Xuan: “!!”
Really, why are you smiling so beautifully! He blushed, lowered his head embarrassedly, and pretended to continue touching the coin, while opening the door with the key. He didn't dare to look at Gu Shuo until he entered the door.
Gu Shuo stared at Su Xuan and walked in without looking back, falling into deep thought.
…
After entering the door, Shan Hui said cautiously: "Brother, between you and that neighbor..."
Su Xuan was startled: "What? I didn't, I'm not, I'm not lustful!"
Mountain Ash: “…………”
He actually wanted to say that the neighbor looked at Su Xuan in a strange way...
However, after hearing Su Xuan's answer, Shan Hui no longer knew who was weirder between Su Xuan and Gu Shuo.
The little monster, who had just entered the city, fell into confusion.
Su Xuan, feeling guilty about being "exposed" by Shan Hui, turned on the light absentmindedly only to find that there was no one in the apartment!
Hey, Dad hasn’t come back from the party yet?
That's impossible. It's already past midnight. How can a cocktail party last until midnight?
Su Xuan immediately called Lu Tao, but no one answered, which made him feel confused.
But monsters don't need sleep, and Daddy would occasionally go out alone and have fun all night, so Su Xuan wasn't too worried. After sending a WeChat message, he took Shanhui into the bathroom, intending to teach this poor little kid, who had been wandering for a month, how to adapt to city life...
*
On the other side of the city, Lu Tao sat on the edge of a bed, supporting his forehead with one hand, feeling dazed and doubting his life.
He didn't have any clothes on.
Six hours ago—
At the party, people were dressed in elegant clothes and drinking clinking glasses.
Lu Tao was wearing a suit, with one hand in his trouser pocket, his back straight, and a calm expression... He secretly glanced at the food on the side that no one had touched, and swallowed his saliva.
Suddenly, a familiar sarcastic voice came from behind, and a hand patted his shoulder.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to come tonight?"
Just as Lin Yu finished speaking in a sarcastic tone, he saw Lu Tao suddenly turn around, glanced at him coldly, frowned, and his aura was quite cold!
Lin Yu was startled and a little confused.
How come the guy who lets him do whatever he wants during the day has such sharp eyes at night?
Lu Tao secretly hypnotized himself, this is just a scallion... an onion!
Unable to help but, his eyes became sharper, he even couldn't help but take two steps back and keep a distance, as if he was afraid that the smell would come towards him.
The corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched twice, and he grinned: "Ha, ha, why, Mr. Lu got drunk so quickly?"
Lu Tao remembered what Su Xuan and Qi Hanyu had taught him, so he ignored them, raised his chin slightly, and said with a twitch of his lips: "Haha."
"???" Lin Yu was full of questions, gnashing his teeth secretly, "Mr. Lu, are you alone? Don't you want to talk to anyone? Oh, or don't you know anyone? If you don't know anyone, tell me, I can introduce you to someone!"
Lu Tao: "Hehehe."
Lin Yu: “…”
What's wrong with this guy? Has he suddenly lost his ability to speak human language? All he knows is a sinister smile!
The veins on Lin Yu's forehead bulged out, and he was about to continue speaking when he saw a figure break away from the group of people who were talking and walk slowly towards him.
The man was very young, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, tall, handsome, with deep facial features, a bit like a mixed-race person. In such occasions, he is always the focus of everyone's attention.
He is the son of a media tycoon. He recently returned to China and took over his father's business. He is doing very well and is showing signs of taking the fruits of his father's years of hard work to a higher level.
As the other party approached, Lin Yu's expression changed. He glanced at Lu Tao and became a little nervous.
Lu Tao was a little confused. It was true that he had been too inactive before, and some important people in the industry did not recognize him.
The visitor didn't care. As he walked over with his wine glass, he just stared at Lu Tao. When he got close, he smiled and said generously, "Mr. Lu, nice to meet you."
"Mr. Yuan," Lin Yu interrupted Lu Tao before he could reply, forcing a smile and pretending to be dumb. "Ha, ha, ha, you know Mr. Lu?"
Yuan Que, known as Mr. Yuan, looked at Lu Tao and said with a gentle smile, "Of course, I noticed Mr. Lu at the last reception. It's a pity that I didn't have time to speak to you and you left first. I've always hoped to have the opportunity to formally meet you again."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand. His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints. It was a very beautiful hand.
Lu Tao didn't know how the other person noticed him, so he just reached out his hand and shook it blankly: "Hello?"
Lin Yu looked at the two people's clasped hands, gritted his teeth, and tried to grab the topic: "Boss Yuan, come to think of it, what we talked about last time haven't been finished yet?"
"We can talk about it another time. Right now," Yuan Que glanced at him lightly, smiled, and said in a low voice, "I want to have a good chat with Mr. Lu."
Lin Yu: “…”
Why was he so rude, almost saying "please leave"! He didn't give him any face at all, he was the elder after all!
Lin Yu's face changed colors.
In fact, he noticed that Yuan Que paid special attention to Lu Tao at the last cocktail party, otherwise he would not have had a bad feeling when Yuan Que walked over just now - because he knew that Yuan Que came for Lu Tao.
Lin Yu really didn't understand. At the cocktail party last week, he pulled Yuan Que to chat for a long time but the other party didn't pay any attention to him. As a result, the other party noticed Lu Tao not far away at a glance and asked about Lu Tao's identity with great interest. If he hadn't been surrounded by so many people, Yuan Que would probably have gone directly to find Lu Tao.
This Lu Tao is just a useless idiot who's only good-looking. What's there to be interested in? It's impossible that the renowned son of the Yuan family is actually gay! Even if he is gay, there are so many young and handsome men to choose from. Why would he fall for a thirty-something man at first sight?!
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more confused and unhappy he became. He then regarded Lu Tao as a thorn in his side and couldn't help but go up to him and say a few provocative words.
But what’s the use?
In the end, I still have to lose face like this!
Under Yuan Que's smiling gaze, Lin Yu's face flushed red, and he smiled stiffly and said, "Haha, then you guys chat, I, I won't disturb you."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Lin." Yuan Que was not polite at all. He watched Lin Yu turn around and leave, and almost waved goodbye.
Lu Tao was confused throughout the whole process. After Lin Yu walked away in frustration, he looked at Yuan Que, wondering what to say.
Yuan Que, however, was very good at guiding the conversation: "Does Uncle Lu have a business card?"
"Yes," Lu Tao quickly took out a business card and handed it over, then asked carefully, "Who are you?"
Judging from Lin Yu's attitude, this person should be an important person. Lu Tao was a little worried that his ignorance would make the other party unhappy.
However, Yuan Que didn't care at all and exchanged business cards: "I'm Yuan Que from A-Shi Media."
Lu Tao paused slightly when he saw the business card.
A Shi Media, the country's top media company, owns the largest media platform. Who in the entertainment industry doesn't want to have a good relationship with A Shi?
This handsome young man is actually the son of A-Shi Media?
Although Lu Tao looked confused, he was not really that stupid. There was no need for the other party to get acquainted with him, the boss of a small company.
Lin Yu almost bent over and begged the other party to talk to him, but the other party took the initiative to talk to him and asked for his business card?
Lu Tao looked at Yuan Que with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
However, I watched it for a long time without realizing it.
Yuan Que had just finished carefully reading Lu Tao's business card when he looked up and met Lu Tao's eyes.
Su Xuan's guidance penetrated deeply into Lu Tao's heart. As soon as he met Yuan Que's gaze, Lu Tao subconsciously tensed his back and acted like a "businessman".
However, if the other party is friendly and not an enemy, then we can't treat them like a scallion...
So Lu Tao completely forgot about Su Xuan's evaluation of his eyes in the afternoon, and just kept on sticking to his status as an "elder" and tried his best to "stare" at Yuan Que.
The original bird was eaten.
The older man in front of him looked at him deeply, his pupils as black as ink.
This look is really...
Licking his lips, Yuan Que put away the business card and smiled meaningfully: "Uncle Lu."
"...What?" Lu Tao glanced at Yuan Que's lips reflexively.
His lips are very nice, or rather, there is nothing ugly about his facial features.
He almost forgot, was the CEO of A Shi Media also so good-looking? Lu Tao couldn't help but start to think about it. It must be that the parents' genes are good enough to give birth to such a good-looking child.
This good-looking "kid" put one hand in his trouser pocket and took a step closer.
The shadow fell on Lu Tao, and it was at this moment that Lu Tao realized that the other person was half a head taller than him.
Kids nowadays are so well-nourished... ?
When he came to his senses, Yuan Que put his arm around his shoulders.
Lu Tao turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Que asked with a smile, "Uncle Lu, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Lu Tao: “!”
I thought the other party was going to talk about some serious industry topic, but I didn't expect that he was asking him if he wanted to eat.
Lu Tao's eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot about the hand on his shoulder. He looked at him gravely and said, "...Can I?"
"Why not?" Yuan Que took Lu Tao in his arms and walked to the side, ignoring the looks of others, and said as a matter of course, "Food is put out there to be eaten, and for Uncle Lu, I specially asked the hotel to prepare many special meals today."
Lu Tao swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the food in front of him, and his stomach growled.
As a glutton, he really couldn't ignore food, as that went against his instinct.
Yuan Que smiled until his eyes narrowed. "If it's not enough, you can ask the hotel to bring some more. Oh, by the way, does Uncle Lu like dessert? The desserts in this hotel are pretty good. I didn't let them bring the whole thing, but you can ask them to secretly make some for Uncle Lu to try."
Lu Tao: “!”
He looked at Yuan Que with dignity: "You are very good."
"Really?" Yuan Que smiled, "Uncle Lu also thinks I can do it, right?"
Lu Tao almost gave a thumbs up: "You are very good."
…
…
And right now, in the hotel, on the bed.
An arm stretched out from behind and hooked Lu Tao's waist.
Then, a chest pressed against his back.
The person behind him whispered in his ear with a hoarse voice and said lazily, "Uncle Lu, do you think I'm okay?"
Lu Tao: “…………”
For the first time, he discovered that as a glutton, he not only had a big appetite for food, but also seemed to have a big appetite for other things...
No!!
Things are going wrong!!
The corners of Lu Tao's mouth twitched.
He knew that he was outrageous. He was still so outrageous after living for so many years. In the eyes of others, he was just a complete useless uncle.
But this is Lu Tao's way of life, and he has always felt that there is nothing wrong with it.
But this time... this time it's really outrageous!
How did it all happen?
Did he drink too much?
No, he can’t drink that badly, right?
What bewildered him...
A hand turned his head back, and then the young man with messy black hair came closer, kissed his lips, and parted them.
Looking at Lu Tao's stiff appearance, Yuan Que narrowed his eyes and asked with a curled lip, "Uncle Lu, are you still drunk?"
The corner of Lu Tao's mouth twitched: "Yeah, yes, I...maybe I'm really drunk."
Yuan Que smiled, and with a force, she hooked him back, pressed him down on the bed, licked his cunt and said, "Then I will help uncle sober up?"
Lu Tao: “?!”

Su Xuan didn't wait for his father Lu to come back all night.
When he woke up the next morning, Su Xuan scratched his head in confusion. He wanted to ask his father whether he had tried to socialize last night, but he didn't know where to start.
I had no choice but to take Shanhui to the company first, and planned to go to the Monster Affairs Bureau after I finished some things.
When they arrived at the company, only the human-shaped Xia Yan was there. Su Xuan left Shanhui in the office and went to work first, so the two children chatted together. After a while, the two walked in.
One is a beautiful woman with long wavy hair wearing a sexy belly-exposing shirt and jeans as usual, Wen Yu, and the monster's original form is a silver fish.
Wen Yu went to a disco last night and stayed up all night. Even though he was a monster with plenty of energy, he couldn't help but yawn at this moment, and scales popped out on his face.
Wenyu quickly touched his face to let the scales fade away, then he spotted the mountain ash and became excited: "Huh? Who is this?"
Next to her is a tall man named Zong Ning, whose monster prototype is a phoenix.
Zong Ning had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was very handsome and tall. However, he had a cold and aloof aura that made him seem unapproachable, and his face showed no expression.
When he saw the mountain ash, he looked at it.
Xia Yan greeted: "Sister Yu, Brother Zong."
When Shanhui looked up and saw the two of them, he grinned strangely, "Hehehehe."
Wen Yu and Zong Ning stopped in their tracks: "......?"
Zong Ning raised his chin and narrowed his eyes: "Huh? What? Provoking? Fighting?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, that cold air disappeared completely, but... he's still not very approachable!
Shan Hui was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Xia Yan: "Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it, it was my instinct... Hehehehe!"
Wen Yu's mouth twitched: "Where did this little monster come from?"
This guy definitely isn't an ordinary human...
Xia Yan quickly comforted Shan Hui and explained what happened last night.
"So you're a poor little thing," Wen Yu heard and walked over curiously. "What's your name?"
Shan Hui said cautiously, "I don't have a name yet..."
Zong Ning felt bored and turned away.
When Shanhui saw the back of Zong Ning's head, his eyes lit up...
With a "thump", Zong Ning was hit on the back of his head. He turned around suddenly and saw Shanhui stiffly maintaining a shooting posture, and a small round stone rolled down at his feet.
——
The next second, Zong Ning stepped in front of Shan Hui and grabbed his collar: "What are you doing? Fighting, huh? You want to fight?"
Mountain Ash: "Wuwuwuwu, I'm sorry, brother. The back of your head is so beautifully shaped that I couldn't control my instincts, wuwuwuwu!"
Xia Yan: "Brother Zong! Brother Zong, calm down!"
Wen Yu: "? Hahahaha what the hell, Zong Ning's back of the head is very beautifully shaped? Hahahaha!"
Amidst the commotion, Su Xuan walked in. Seeing the situation, he immediately jumped up and patted Zong Ning on the head: "Why are you bullying him?"
Zong Ning loosened his grip, covered his head, and said in disbelief, "He threw stones at me?"
"?" Su Xuan, "Oh, that's his instinct. It means the back of your head is very beautiful!"
"???" Zong Ning said in disbelief, "And his smile was particularly sinister!"
"???" Su Xuan, "He obviously has a very cute smile!"
Zong Ning: “???”
Wen Yu held her belly and laughed until tears came out, and Zong Ning's face turned black!
Wen Yu finished laughing, took a breath, and then said, "Speaking of Su Xuan, are you planning to make this little guy a trainee as well?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shanhui again.
The little mountain ash trembled, feeling a little timid.
After cleaning up, the little mountain ash actually looks pretty good, tender and fresh. It's just that he has a problem of smiling like that when he sees people. It's okay if it's acquaintances, but if it's fans or reporters, he might be scared to death...
Su Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "What is your dream?"
Xiao Shanhui was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and whispered: "I want to have enough to eat and warm clothes."
Everyone: "Hiss."
What a simple dream.
Wen Yu hugged Shan Hui tightly, stroked Shan Hui's head and said lovingly: "Don't worry, live with us, you will have food to eat and clothes to wear!"
Shan Hui nodded quickly and said with a blushing face: "Yeah!"
Su Xuan thought about it. When Shanhui lived in the mountains before, he had friends and had encountered humans and observed them. So he was not completely ignorant of the human group lifestyle, but -
He said, "Since you're settling in the city, you still have a lot to learn. Let me tell you, I know a friend who's running a monster school. I'll send you there in a few days. You can study first."
Shanhui said that he is seventeen years old this year.
The lifespan of second-generation monsters is the same as that of ordinary humans. Unlike first-generation monsters like Lu Tao and Su Xuan, who can live for thousands of years, the two of them are in their fake thirties and twenties respectively.
Mountain Ash is actually a high school student.
As he was talking, Su Xuan suddenly had another idea: "Oh, that guy also formed a basketball team that can compete with other teams!"
The players on the basketball team are all little monsters with athletic talent but basically no spiritual power. Because it is fair for such little monsters to play against ordinary humans, the team has the qualifications to participate in human competitions with the consent of the Monster Affairs Bureau and related units.
As long as you participate in official competitions, you will have the opportunity to be appreciated by professional scouts...
Su Xuan suddenly felt that he had discovered a business opportunity. He stroked his chin, looked at Shan Hui and said, "Maybe you can become an excellent basketball player."
Mountain Ash blinked: "What is basketball?"
"It's a round thing," Su Xuan began to tempt him with an idea. "Playing basketball is a sport where you throw this round thing into a beautifully shaped basket."
The words "beautiful shape" made Zong Ning's face darken again.
Shan Hui looked longingly: "Really? Then brother, I want to play basketball!"
The more Su Xuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His eyes lit up as he said, "You can do it!"
With this kid's instincts, isn't he the future superstar of basketball? Once he becomes a basketball star, how much money will he make?
Su Xuan exclaimed in amazement, thinking that his idea was really great!
Wen Yu, Zong Ning and Xia Yan beside them looked so embarrassed that they couldn't bear to watch.
This Pixiu didn't even let go of such an unlucky child...
While chatting, Xia Yan suddenly remembered something and turned around to look around: "By the way, why hasn't Han Yu come today?"
When everyone came to their senses, they realized that the child who usually arrived very early had not shown up today.
Just at this moment, Su Xuan's cell phone vibrated. It was a call from the Monster Affairs Bureau.
Su Xuan picked up the phone, puzzled, thinking the other party was here to urge Xiao Shanhui to register quickly. He wondered what the urge was, but after hearing a few words, he was stunned: "Qi Hanyu was arrested by the police for setting up a roadside stall to exorcise evil spirits early in the morning?"
Everyone: ???
A child even more unlucky than mountain ash has appeared? ?
This silly kid is obsessed with making extra money!
