Chapter 170: Change of Person
In the living room.
Milk tea was originally sleeping on the sofa. After hearing the noise, she stood up and looked towards the door.
Seeing Li Zhi and her son coming in, he immediately jumped off the sofa, meowing and ran towards them.
"Milk tea!" Li Yanjing's eyes lit up, he let go of Li Zhi's hand, squatted down and picked up Milk Tea.
Li Zhi's eyes fell on Milk Tea, and she reached out to scratch its chin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said leisurely, "You've gained weight."
Li Yanjing hummed, "It seems to be heavier than before I left."
"That's not true. This guy has a really big appetite, so it's normal for him to gain weight." Gu Yu said.
Li Zhi withdrew her hand, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down, looking around the huge living room, and asked, "Where's Mom?"
Gu Yu put down the suitcase in his hand and sat down as well. "She went out to have afternoon tea and play mahjong with her little sisters."
Li Zhi nodded, and suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Li Yanjing who was playing with milk tea beside her, and said, "By the way, son, didn't you bring a gift for your uncle? Take it out and show it to him."
Gu Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect his nephew to bring him a gift. He asked excitedly, "Oh my god, he brought me a gift. What is it?"
Li Yanjing responded, put the milk tea aside, picked up her small schoolbag, unzipped it, and took out a shell bracelet from it.
He got down from the sofa, walked over to Gu Yu, stopped, handed the shell bracelet to him, and said, "Uncle, this bracelet is for you."
Li Zhi glanced at Nai Cha who ran to her lap and snored, "These are shells that your nephew picked up and made into bracelets himself."
Gu Yu took it and put it on his wrist, saying with a smile: "I made this bracelet myself, it's so amazing."
He shook his wrist and said, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Li Yanjing nodded, "It looks good."
Gu Yu reached out and touched his head, and said with a look of satisfaction: "I am so touched that you still remember me, your uncle, when you go out to play. I will definitely keep the bracelet you gave me well."
"Uncle, there's no need to be so exaggerated." Li Yanjing said.
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, "How could that be? I am deeply moved."
"Oh." Li Yanjing withdrew his gaze, turned around and sat back in his seat.
Li Zhi leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, her slender hands casually touching the head of Milk Tea on her lap, and began to care about her younger brother's study.
"How are you doing with your studies these days?"
"Not bad. The cram school teacher praised me for my great progress recently." Gu Yu replied, "When my mom found out, she was very happy and said she would let me take a day off."
"Have you chosen a day to rest?" Li Zhi asked.
"Not yet." Gu Yu sighed softly and continued, "I'm probably staying home to sleep during my break. My friends are all traveling, and I'm the only one who's been stuck at home studying."
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "It's okay. It's not impossible to let your nephew go out and play with you."
"Sister, you should have said it the other way around. Shouldn't I be the one taking him out to play?" Gu Yu said.
"It's all the same, we're just going out to have fun," said Li Zhi.
Gu Yu thought about it and suggested, "Sister, how about we go out and play together for a day?"
Li Zhi didn't refuse, "Okay, just pick a time and let me know.
"Okay." Gu Yu responded.
......
This way.
Bai Yi stared at Li Zhi's note account in a trance, sliding his fingers up and down the screen, wondering why she hadn't done a live broadcast in two days.
At this moment, a phone call suddenly popped up above the screen and the phone rang.
Bai Yi came to his senses when he heard the voice. After looking at the caller ID, he raised his hand and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Sister Xin."
"I just received some bad news." Sister Xin's somewhat heavy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Bai Yi frowned, "What bad news?"
"In Director Zhao's drama, your second male lead position was replaced." Sister Xin said.
Bai Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted with a look of surprise on his face. He suspected that he had misheard and said in disbelief, "What did you say?!"
Sister Xin immediately repeated it to him.
"Why?!" Bai Yi asked, "Hasn't the contract already been signed? Why did they suddenly change people?"
"I heard the investor wants to promote someone they have and wants to replace you." Sister Xin paused and said comfortingly, "That can't be helped. After all, whoever pays is the boss. Don't overthink it. I'll help you get something else."
Bai Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Okay, I get it."
Sister Xin coughed lightly, and then hesitated to say, "Oh, there's one more thing..."
Bai Yi's eyelids twitched, "Good news or bad news?"
"Bad news for you..." Sister Xin said.
"What's the matter?" Bai Yi asked.
"The male lead of this drama has been chosen." Sister Xin said slowly.
Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. After two seconds of silence, he spoke out his suspicions, "Is it Qin Huan?"
Sister Xin hummed, "It's him."
Bai Yi clenched the phone in her hand, "Sister Xin, is this news accurate?"
"I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't accurate. Qin Huan went for the audition yesterday and was chosen on the spot." Sister Xin replied.
"I understand. Hang up."
Bai Yi hung up the phone after saying that. He could no longer suppress his anger and threw the phone to the ground, "Fuck!"
He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. Not satisfied yet, he kicked the leg of the table in front of him.
Bai Yi is now more and more certain that Qin Huan must have broken the luck-borrowing spell that he had someone cast on him.
Otherwise, how could he suddenly get the endorsement of NIEO, become the male lead in Director Zhao's new drama, and even have his position as the second male lead replaced.
And the person who helped him was most likely that female metaphysics anchor.
Bai Yi calmed down, bent down to pick up his phone again, opened WeChat, scrolled down the list, found one of the people, and clicked on the chat interface with the other person.
He leaned back on the sofa, tapping the screen of his phone quickly with his fingers, and sent a message to the other party.
[Mr. Huo, are you there? ]
It took more than half a day for the other party to reply to the message.
Huo Lin: [Which one are you?]
Bai Yi didn't expect that he had forgotten who he was. [I am Bai Yi. A few days ago, I asked you to help me borrow someone else's transportation.]
Huo Lin: [What do you want from me? Do you want to borrow my luck?]
Bai Yi subconsciously sat up straight. "Mr. Huo, this is what I'm thinking. I now suspect that the person you lent me his luck to is looking for someone to break the spell you cast on him."
Huo Lin: [Why do you say that?]
