Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Three in One
Lou Su's door was locked tightly from the outside.
Liu Anlin rubbed his fingertips, waved away the bodyguards, and left with brisk steps.
This time, Lou Su must thank his cousin very much. They are a loving family. How could he allow his uncle to use such despicable means to harm his dear cousin?
Lou Zhengqiang sat in the study with no expression on his face. There were some similarities between his eyebrows and eyes and Lou Su's, but generally speaking, he was not as delicate as Lou Su.
"Uncle, I have moved the two people into one room as you instructed."
Lou Zhengqiang then laughed out loud, "An Lin, you did a great job this time."
Lou Zhengqiang stroked the exquisite porcelain teacup, picked it up and took a sip. Lou Zhengqiang knew his son's character very well. He had a strong sense of morality, which was completely different from his father. Even if he was just pretending with that girl named Xia Nuan, so what? The matter was settled.
And Xia Nuan is easier to control than Lou Su.
Lou Su lay sprawled on the edge of the bed, next to an overturned water cup. His entire body was burning with heat, his Adam's apple rolling. He licked his lips, his eyes reddening, his mouth dry, the heat raging. He tugged at his collar, but it was no use. The heat remained, and it was even spreading downwards.
He held his forehead, his cheeks flushed, and his breathing became irregular.
Xia Nuan lay drowsily on the bed, still fast asleep.
Sweat slid down his forehead, his head felt dizzy and he couldn't think. He felt so uncomfortable. Lou Su held his forehead, and everything in front of him was a double image.
That bastard Lou Zhengqiang actually drugged him this time.
Lou Su couldn't control the heat all over his body. This couldn't go on. He couldn't give in to Lou Zhengqiang's wishes.
In the bathroom, cold water poured down from the shower head. Lou Su leaned on the cold tiles, his face flushing uncontrollably. His face, which usually looked extremely lustful, now gave rise to even more speculations.
Half an hour later, Lou Su pounded on the wall, but it was no use. He walked out of the bathroom with wet hair and a soaking wet body, staring intently at Xia Nuan lying on the bed.
Lou Su walked to the bed, his eyes darkened, water droplets dripped onto the bed, he bit his lower lip tightly, he panted, bent down to pick up the glass that fell on the ground, and smashed it against the wall with all his strength.
The glass shattered into pieces by the impact.
He picked up one of the pieces, frowned, and scratched his arm with force. The sharp side of the glass cut his skin, and blood instantly flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the carpet, turning it dark red.
The pain replaced the uncontrollable heat, and Lou Su found a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his arm a few times.
He walked to the bedside and gently touched Xia Nuan's forehead. Lou Su whispered in her ear, "Xia Nuan, Xia Nuan, wake up!" Her head ached. She forced her eyes open. Did she have a fever? Why did she feel so weak? Why was Lou Su so close to her? Was it time to leave? Why did she fall asleep?
"How did you get here?" Xia Nuan's face flushed and her eyes blurred. She struggled to sit up, but her body was unable to move at all. Looking around, this was not the room she was in just now. Her expression became terrified. What was going on?
Lou Su picked up a wooden stool and smashed it against the window, but there was no crack in the window.
Lou Zhengqiang had people clean up everything in the room, and apart from the stool, there was nothing that could smash the window open. However, he smashed it again out of annoyance, and the window was still intact.
My brain started to feel dizzy again, and the restlessness surged from the bottom of my heart and gradually moved downwards.
Blood seeped out of the wound, soaking the cloth.
"Lou Su, Lou Su! Your arm is bleeding."
"It's okay." Lou Su glanced at it indifferently. He picked up the glass, turned around, and scratched his arm again.
Xia Nuan could only see his back.
Lou Su bit the fabric, and with his free hand, he tugged at the other end, wrapping the clothes tightly around his arm. His breathing was trembling, and his heartbeat was irregular, thumping, as if he would burst out at any moment.
Was this a dream? Xia Nuan wanted to pinch herself, but her hands were too weak to lift. Her breathing was rapid, her heart pounding as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She struggled to sit up, but her legs gave way and she fell to the ground. It hurt so much, Xia Nuan hissed.
"Lou Su, what's going on? Why am I in your room?"
Lou Su's breathing was heavy. "We've been drugged. I've already told Uncle Wu to park the car outside. As long as we get out of the house, we can leave immediately."
Xia Nuan's eyes moved to the door, "Can't the door be opened?"
Lou Su's voice trembled, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became deeper and hoarser. "The door locks have been changed. It's locked inside and out. We can't get out without the key."
Lou Su put her hands on his shoulders, bent down, picked her up and put her on the bed.
A bronze key fell to the ground.
Key, why does she have a key? !
Xia Nuan held her forehead, her mind dizzy, "Key? Did someone leave it on me on purpose?"
"Do you know how you got to this room?" Lou Su vaguely felt that he was kicked hard at that time, and his abdomen hurt when it was touched slightly.
Xia Nuan shook her head, her expression dazed, her lips pale, and she looked sick, which made people inexplicably pity her.
Lou Su looked away and picked up the key. "I'll try it."
The key fitted the door lock perfectly, turned slowly, and the door opened.
Lou Su carefully peeked outside, looking calm, and there was no one there.
His steps were not very steady, but he still walked back to Xia Nuan quickly, speaking urgently, "Can you walk? If not, I'll carry you out."
There was no need to worry about things like the difference between men and women and the inappropriate physical contact at this time. Xia Nuan felt the soft and weak state of her body and shook her head.
The moment her body was in the air, Xia Nuan's breathing stopped for a moment, and her hands subconsciously wrapped around Lou Su.
The bodyguards outside had already withdrawn. Lou Su's eyes darkened. He held Xia Nuan in his arms and did not dare to stay for a moment.
Xia Nuan placed her hands weakly on Lou Su's shoulders. She leaned against Lou Su's chest, and the beating heartbeat in her ears brought her some comfort.
It was pitch black, and the covered bridge outside looked particularly eerie.
Xia Nuan shuddered and her body shook, and Lou Su hugged her tighter.
After walking for a while, they finally found the car and carried Xia Nuan to the passenger seat. His movements were a bit hasty, and Lou Su suddenly froze.
He slammed the passenger door shut, the pitch-black darkness obscuring the tips of his ears, which were red enough to bleed. He licked and bit his lips, swallowed, and secretly cursed himself.
Liu Anlin watched the car drive out of the Lou family's house, with a smile of pure malice on the corner of his lips. He didn't know whether his good uncle would be so "happy" that he would vomit blood when he woke up tomorrow morning and learned the news.
Liu Anlin pulled the curtains and turned on the lights in the room. What excuse should he make tomorrow to avoid the furious Lou Zhengqiang from taking his anger out on him?
He turned on the computer and opened a folder full of Xia Nuan's photos.
Liu Anlin's eyes flashed with abnormal fascination, and his fingers tapped the screen. Why should all the good things belong to Lou Su? The Lou family, and the beauties too.
Liu Anlin sneered. He didn't want to be the second option, so he could only eliminate the first option.
——
When she was put in the car just now, she felt something hard touching her buttocks. Xia Nuan didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until the car had driven a long way away that Xia Nuan realized what it was.
She glanced at Lou Su secretly and quickly looked away. It was too dark and she couldn't see Lou Su's expression.
Xia Nuan didn't dare recall the scene at that time, but the more she did so, the clearer the memory became. That thing seemed quite large. Too embarrassing. Huh, stop, stop imagining, nothing happened just now.
At this time, the car had been quiet for a long time.
She opened the car window a little, and the wind whistled in her ears and hit her cheeks painfully.
The slight pain on her cheek made her feel a little more real. This kind of thing could actually happen to her, like drugging.
Thinking of everything she had just experienced, Xia Nuan frowned and pursed her lips, feeling a chill on her back.
Lou Su's arm was still bleeding, and anyone who saw it could feel the immense pain.
The wind blew away the bloody smell in the car. Xia Nuan couldn't imagine how Lou Su made this decision at that time. "Is your arm okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry about that. Sorry, I will explain the rest to you later. You can call Lin Dayong now, I can't take my phone with me." He seemed to be suppressing something, and his voice was no longer as calm as before, but became more hoarse.
It was two in the morning, the streetlights were all alone, and there were few cars on the street. The car was almost reaching 180 km/h.
Xia Nuan endured the dizziness and called Lin Dayong.
Lin Dayong hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past month, and insomnia had almost become a habit. He had just fallen asleep. He struggled to open his eyes, rolling back and forth in bed, and finally regained some consciousness.
Damn, whose phone is this? Don’t you know I just fell asleep?
Lin Dayong's face was grim. He fumbled around and finally found his phone. Huh? It was only a little after two in the morning. Was she sick? Why would Xia Nuan call him at this hour?
He sighed and answered the phone with a dark face. It better be something important.
Lin Dayong's expression froze when he heard the voice from the other end. He turned on the hands-free mode and quickly put on his clothes while speaking. "Lou Su, why are you here? Why are you with Xia Nuan so late at night?"
"What! You're almost at my neighborhood. Okay, okay, right away. I'll be right down to pick you up."
Lin Dayong hurriedly left home with two coats with oversized hoods, ran to the 24-hour convenience store downstairs, and bought a bottle of vitamin C and two dozen boiled water.
He walked over to the car and knocked on the window, "It's me."
The window was rolled down a little, and Lin Dayong stuffed his two coats in.
Just as he was about to pass the water over, Lou Su said, "Unscrew it first and then pass it to us."
Lou Su handed VC and water to Xia Nuan, "Take two tablets, and then drink the water."
Lin Dayong was still a little puzzled. He saw Lou Su's face through the crack in the window and his eyes suddenly widened. "Grandfather, you are not driving under the influence, are you? Why are your eyes and face so red?"
Lin Dayong's eyes swept down to his arm, and he gritted his teeth and frowned tightly, almost twisting into a ball.
"Oh my god, what happened to you? Why is it all bloody? How did you get hurt so badly? No, the amount of bleeding is too horrible. What happened? Don't go to my house, let's go to the hospital now."
Lou Su pursed his lips and glanced down at the wound. It had hurt at first, but now it was numb, but the feeling was coming back. He shook his head and pulled the loose clothing on. "Let's go back home first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Lin Dayong was also panicking, but luckily he had seen many storms and waves before, so he quickly calmed down. "Okay, let's go back to the house. I have a medicine box. I'll give you emergency treatment first."
Lou Su looked at the slow-moving Xia Nuan uncertainly, "Can you walk now?"
Xia Nuan tried to shake hands and was able to hold them a little tighter. "That should be fine."
She also put on the coat and opened the door. Xia Nuan landed on one foot first, using the car door to push herself. When both feet landed on the ground, she still felt a little weak, but it was much better than before. She was somewhat relieved that at least she would not collapse and fall directly to the ground.
Xia Nuan held onto the car door and used the force to stand up straight. The bottle of water really saved her life, and she was much more sober now.
After hearing Xia Nuan's reply, Lou Su nodded and walked forward. After taking a few steps, he looked back and saw that Xia Nuan was still moving like a snail.
A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. She could walk, but she walked too slowly. For every ten steps he took, Xia Nuan took only one at most, like a snail. Lou Su walked back expressionlessly and picked Xia Nuan up again before she could say anything. "Don't waste time."
Xia Nuan's whole body was tense. She had seen clearly in the car how serious the injury on Lou Su's arm was. She didn't dare to struggle at all, for fear of hurting Lou Su's wound.
But her arms are like that, and she can walk now.
Xia Nuan: "Lou Su, your arm injury can't bear the pressure anymore, put me down. Besides, my strength is gradually recovering and I can walk. Besides, it's the middle of the night now, not many people will pay attention to me. You don't have to carry me, just put me down."
Lou Su glanced down at Xia Nuan and said, "Shut up."
The emotions contained in those two words made Xia Nuan choke. She simply closed her eyes and didn't look at him. Tsk, if you want to be tired, then be tired.
Lin Dayong was stunned, with his mouth wide open like a fool, and waited until Lou Su had walked a long way before following him.
He looked at Lou Su and then at Xia Nuan, and felt like he had entered a new world. When did this guy become desensitized to women? He used to never even touch them, but now he actually hugs them directly.
Lin Dayong's home is on the eleventh floor.
In the elevator, Xia Nuan poked Lou Su and said, "Put me down, I'm tired of being held."
This time, Lou Su didn't say much and put her down, but he didn't let go of her hand until she stood firmly.
Lin Dayong sighed inwardly, the gossip fire in his heart burning fiercely, but his actions were not vague at all. After he opened the door with the key, he immediately took out the first aid kit.
The bloodstained cloth had dried in some places, but was now soaked with new blood. When Lin Dayong untied the cloth wrapped around Lou Su's arm, his expression was extremely ferocious.
"The attack was so severe, let's call the police." Lin Dayong frowned.
Lou Su: "Myself."
Lin Dayong was so frightened by these words that he leaned back. "Ancestor, is there something wrong with your mind? Otherwise, how could you be so cruel? Hiss, that flesh is... ah, ah, ah, it hurts just looking at it. How could you have the heart to do that? What did you use to cut it? Why is the wound so deep?"
"Glass."
Lin Dayong frowned the whole time as he applied medicine to his wound. "You have to go to the hospital. There might be broken glass inside. It would be terrible if it got stuck in the flesh."
"Also, what exactly happened tonight? If you still want me to be your agent, you'd better tell me everything."
Lou Su had a blank expression on her face, and Xia Nuan was almost the same. She simply didn't have the extra energy to move her facial muscles.
While Lou Su was talking to Lin Dayong, she was also confronting the system in her mind.
[What's going on with this plot point? Why was it completed without any prior hints?]
[The system determined that the host could successfully complete the plot point without any prompts, so no prompts were given.]
[Is this the reason?]
System: [Host, haven't you completed the plot point? And according to the system's inference, this kind of task that can be completed smoothly without much thought should be more in line with your wishes.]
This kind of rigid talk is really annoying, [Are you hiding something from me?]
[Host, the system will use the best algorithm to determine how you can complete the plot points. You are overthinking it.]
The system's words sounded reasonable, but upon closer inspection, they were full of loopholes.
If she knew about plot point 5 in advance, how could she not be surprised? She was fine after eating, but why did they specifically emphasize that she drink water? This kind of plot that only appeared in novels actually happened to her. It was ridiculous.
Xia Nuan's expression turned cold. That's right, this is a novel world. [Did you know we were drugged last night?]
The system went silent, and then the crackling sound of electricity appeared again. [Host, this is not a plot point.]
The system didn't deny it, and Xia Nuan felt even more puzzled. She wasn't sure if this point was mentioned in the novel's plot, but if Lou Su hadn't been so determined, wouldn't the two of them have already—
Is this plot really reasonable in a BL novel?
[Plot Point 6: Breaking up with Lou Su after the variety show]
[Host, after completing plot point six, all your plot point missions will be completed.]
The conversation ended like this, and Xia Nuan didn't say anything else to the system.
Whether it was Lou Su inviting her to the Lou family or the two of them being drugged at the Lou family's house, Xia Nuan didn't know whether the novel didn't describe it in detail or it simply didn't exist in the original work, she had no memory of this incident.
Unlike the previous plot points, where she could find vague, if vague, corresponding plot points in the book, plot point five was completely different. What exactly was the system basing its designation of plot points on?
She lowered her eyes, stared at her hands, clenched them hard, and her strength seemed to be returning.
Xia Nuan's eyes darkened, and she suddenly recalled her previous speculation about the system and the world's will. Perhaps they were afraid of the protagonist discovering their existence? In this situation, she was simply too passive.
Lou Su's complexion gradually returned to normal. He put the empty bottle of mineral water aside, unscrewed a new bottle and placed it in front of Xia Nuan. Then he opened a new bottle of boiled mineral water for himself.
While they were talking, Lou Su and Xia Nuan had already finished two or three bottles of water.
Lin Dayong looked at the gradually increasing number of empty water bottles on the table and couldn't help but ask, his confusion and worry evident in his tone, "How thirsty are you to drink so much water?"
Lou Su screwed the lid on and said in a calm tone, as if he was saying something extremely ordinary, "We were drugged."
"So you drank water and took vitamin C to cure the disease, that's what I thought. No, you went home, who would drug you—" Lin Dayong's eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that your father drugged you?"
Lou Su didn't answer, which meant he agreed. Lin Dayong scratched his head and took a breath. Then he and Xia Nuan——
When Lin Dayong saw the wound on Lou Su's arm, he knew that nothing had happened. He sighed inwardly, "You two should take a break. I'll take you and Xia Nuan to a private hospital for a blood test and re-bandage your wound."
Lou Su touched the bandage on his hand. He looked in Xia Nuan's direction and quickly looked away, as if it was just a casual glance.
The blood test results came out. There was very little drug left in Xia Nuan's body, and the concentration of the drug in Lou Su's blood was much higher than Xia Nuan's.
The doctor told Lin Dayong that the two people were given different drugs, and the dosages were different. Xia Nuan's drug only made her unconscious, without causing any harm to her body; while Lou Su's drug was a potent aphrodisiac, and the dosage was several times higher.
Lin Dayong couldn't help but click his tongue. Is this still his biological son?
Lou Su sneered silently. How could Lou Zhengqiang allow someone who had a chance of bearing his grandson to be harmed? Unfortunately, now was not the right time. Lou Zhengqiang couldn't notice anything was wrong, otherwise he would never come home this time.
The reason Lou Su was able to regain consciousness and mobility so quickly was because his body had developed some resistance to the drug. The doctor hesitated and only told Lou Su the result.
Lou Su nodded, his light brown pupils staring blankly at something. Drug resistance, isn't that normal?
The situation was set, and we were just waiting for the building to collapse. Lou Su's eyes contained nothing but ruthlessness, devoid of any other unnecessary emotion.
Lou Su and Xia Nuan were the only ones left in the hospital's VIP ward.
Xia Nuan was a little overwhelmed with exhaustion, so she lay on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. Just as she was half asleep, Lou Su, who was standing by the window with his back to her, suddenly spoke.
"Lou Zhengqiang gave you the drug last night. Within a month, I will make Lou Zhengqiang kneel down and apologize to you personally. Sorry, if you want any compensation, you can ask me. I won't refuse."
Why does it seem like the words "apology" and "compensation" are always present in all the conversations between Lou Su and him recently? It's already four o'clock in the morning, and she's really sleepy.
It is impossible to say that she does not blame Lou Su, but once she asks for compensation, she may be more involved with Lou Su. When plot point 61 is completed, she will be free. If she hesitates to make a decision, she will suffer the consequences. The best compensation for her is to not have any contact with the protagonists of these novels in the future.
"Then take me to the Jinlin Media studio before 10 a.m. this morning. Consider it compensation. I really can't stand it anymore. I need to sleep."
Jinlin Studio, Lou Su frowned slightly. Isn’t this the film and television studio that Qin Lin is controlling?
Lou Su pursed her lips. Was this the only compensation she wanted? She looked at Xia Nuan who had fallen asleep and did not take her eyes off her for a long time.
Lou Su looked at Xia Nuan, who was curled up. Didn't she feel safe either? Lou Su's eyes moved to the bloodstains on her back.
When Xia Nuan was woken up by the alarm clock, there was a piece of clothing neatly placed on the bedside with a note on it: It's new, change into it, I'll be waiting for you downstairs - Lou Su.
This is a French-style white floral long-sleeved dress, the size of the dress is neither too big nor too small, just right. Xia Nuan glanced at the price on the tag and was shocked. Thirty-four thousand!
She was instantly awakened by the number.
Xia Nuan's memory of last night was very vague. She was so sleepy at the time that she answered questions almost instinctively. After yawning several times and washing her face, she finally remembered what she had said.
Asking Lou Su to take her to Jinlin Media Studio? She must be crazy.
She had only slept for four hours, so how long could Lou Su sleep? Would he drive himself home tired and get into a car accident? Xia Nuan suddenly recalled the tragic scene of Xia Nuan's car accident in the original novel and sobered up instantly.
No, Lou Su must not be allowed to drive!
Xia Nuan knocked on the car window, and Lou Su lowered it a third of the way. "Come on in. As we agreed yesterday, I'll take you to Jinlin Studio."
Xia Nuan looked at him very seriously, and her tone was also serious, "Well, answer me first, how long did you sleep last night?"
Is she caring about me?
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Xia Nuan forced a smile. It was good that she wasn't sleepy. What good was it to not be sleepy? The bandage on her arm was so conspicuous. Her heart tightened when she thought of Lou Su's wound.
No, whether for her own life or Lou Su's health, she couldn't let him send her away.
"The wound on your hand hasn't healed yet. Gripping the steering wheel and exerting force could easily cause the wound to rupture. You should go back and get some sleep. There's a taxi every two or three minutes on this street. I'll take one in a minute. You really need to rest."
Xia Nuan's earnest persuasion did have a certain degree of effect, that is, she was now driving the car, and Lou Su was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xia Nuan didn't know what was going on in Lou Su's mind.
"I'll stop here. You can go first. No need to wait for me here. By the way, thank you for the clothes." Xia Nuan waved to Lou Su, "Goodbye!"
Lou Su looked at her back in a daze. He touched his rapidly beating heart in a daze, wondering if the effect of the medicine had not worn off yet. Why did he suddenly feel hot again?
Lou Su picked up his phone to take a picture of her back, only to realize that he had turned off his phone early this morning.
Ten seconds later, the phone turned on.
But Xia Nuan's back had disappeared from Lou Su's sight.
There were more than a dozen missed calls on the phone, one every five minutes, and all the callers were from Lou Zhengqiang.
Lou Su closed his eyes, turned off the phone again, and threw it onto the passenger seat.
He started the engine, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that veins bulged.
At the Lou family's house, Lou Zhengqiang was scolding the servants and bodyguards.
"Are you all blind? Didn't you see Lou Su when he arrived? The doors of the rooms were locked tightly, how could they open them?!"
Liu Anlin stood beside Lou Zhengqiang, looking equally angry. He lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in them.
Lou Zhengqiang covered his chest and couldn't breathe.
Liu Anlin waved away the others, and only the uncle and nephew were left in the room.
"Uncle, please don't be angry. My cousin has lived in the Lou family for more than ten years and knows this place very well. He was able to run away a few years ago, so it's not impossible for him to run away this time."
After Liu Anlin finished speaking, he sighed and asked, "Do you still remember the high school Lou Su attended?"
Lou Zhengqiang wanted to continue to be angry, but after hearing Liu Anlin's words, he subconsciously thought about Lou Su's high school, "That shabby Hongxing Middle School, what did you find out?"
"The person Lou Su confessed his love to was Ye Li, who graduated from Hongxing Middle School a few years ago. He is now the founder and CEO of Gangfeng Technology, and it is said that he is still in contact with Lou Su."
Lou Zhengqiang smiled coldly.
Liu Anlin leaned forward and continued, "No matter what, Xia Nuan is a rare beauty. Last night, that was the situation, but Lou Su was not moved. Instead, he ran away with his men. Is it possible that Lou Su and Xia Nuan are not really a couple——"
Liu Anlin handed the water to Lou Zhengqiang, "Don't be angry."
Lou Zhengqiang didn't take the water either. He looked at Liu Anlin, his eyes motionless, a little creepy. "Anlin, cunning is not as good as honesty. Although I'm not young anymore, I can still see through some things. Don't have any thoughts that shouldn't be thought of."
Liu Anlin took back the hand that was handing him the water and said, "Uncle, Anlin knows."
"That's good to know." Lou Zhengqiang withdrew his gaze, leaned on his crutches, and left the place.
Liu Anlin lowered his head, raised his lips, and had a sarcastic expression. Lou Zhengqiang still had no self-awareness. In such a big Lou family, how many people would truly obey him and follow his orders at this moment?
——
At 9:40 am on Monday, Xia Nuan walked into a luxuriously decorated building. Jinlin Media was located on the 39th floor of the building.
Before Xia Nuan could explain her purpose, the front desk staff came over and said, "You must be Teacher Xia Nuan, right? I'll take you to see Director Su."
Xia Nuan smiled at her and said, "Thank you."
She led Xia Nuan to the dedicated elevator and entered the password. "Teacher Xia Nuan, please go in. The elevator will automatically stop and open the door at the 39th floor."
Didn't you send me to find Su Yuzhou? Why don't we go together?
The moment the elevator opened, Xia Nuan immediately spotted Su Yuzhou sitting on the black sofa on the right. No wonder the young lady didn't bring her up; there really wasn't any need for that.
Seeing is believing. Xia Nuan didn’t feel anything special during the video call that day, but when she saw the real person in person, she suddenly felt that he looked familiar. However, her brain was still idling due to lack of rest, and for a moment she couldn’t figure out why she felt familiar.
"Hello, Director Su, I'm Xia Nuan."
Su Yuzhou saw her, yawned and stood up, "You're quite punctual. Okay, follow me. Let's take a look at the contract. If there are no major problems, sign it and leave."
"By the way, you were too excited last night and didn't sleep well. Why are there such dark circles under your eyes? Tsk, you have to make a good adjustment when you get home. You must be in the best condition when you join the group."
The corners of Xia Nuan's lips twitched slightly, but fortunately Su Yuzhou didn't want her to answer.
"We're here. This is it."
Su Yuzhou handed the contract to Xia Nuan, "Take a look at it. If there are no problems, sign it. If you have any questions, ask them. But it may be useless to ask them."
Then you don’t have to say the rest.
Leading actress, leading actress? Xia Nuan carefully looked through the list several times, confirming that she wasn't seeing things. "Director Su, the role you want me to play is the leading actress?!"
Su Yuzhou shrugged, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Xia Nuan put the contract aside, her expression serious, "Director Su, there are too many questions."
Su Yuzhou raised his eyebrows. Logically, she should have been overjoyed after knowing that she was the leading actress in his movie. Why didn't she play by the rules?
If Xia Nuan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely ask him the same question.
"Why did you choose me as the leading actress? You didn't answer me last time."
Su Yuzhou was amused and smiled, "Why, do you feel you are unworthy?"
Xia Nuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and this was indeed what she was thinking in her heart. Xia Nuan knew that her acting skills were not up to par, and her lines were not good. Apart from her face, she didn't know what Su Yuzhou saw in her that would allow her, an 18th-tier actress, to play the leading female role in a movie.
Su Yuzhou has never used an unknown newcomer.
She is not a very popular star. Can she be elected as the leading actress in a movie just based on her face? Xia Nuan is skeptical about this.
Xia Nuan lowered her eyes, avoiding Su Yuzhou's sharp gaze.
Su Yuzhou's attitude was too positive, whether it was the phone call that was connected right after the broadcast, or asking her to sign the contract immediately. So, in fact, it was not her who needed Su Yuzhou, but Su Yuzhou who needed her.
She was stunned for a moment, and her mind suddenly became clear, "But Director Su, you think I am suitable, and you need me." Xia Nuan no longer dodged and met Su Yuzhou's gaze.
Su Yuzhou raised his eyebrows. "You're not wrong. I won't keep you in suspense. I've been looking for a suitable actress for over a year, and you're perfect for the role. However, don't think I'll give you any preferential treatment because of this. The contract clearly states that if I'm not satisfied, you can leave at any time. No discussion."
"I won't let you have that chance." Xia Nuan smiled and changed the subject, "Then can I know what role I will be playing?"
Su Yuzhou stretched out a finger and shook it, "I won't tell you before you sign the contract. But you can rest assured, I, Su Yuzhou, won't make those awful Category III movies, and you don't have to go out naked."
He stared at Xia Nuan without any evil desire, it was a pure appreciation of beauty.
Su Yuzhou raised the corners of his lips slightly. "You asked me why I chose you. It's because you are beautiful, and you fit the role in my mind, especially when you cry. Read the contract again. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can raise it now. I happen to be in a good mood, and I might be able to satisfy you."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Su Yuzhou yawned, "Well, just for a moment, say whatever you want to say quickly."
Xia Nuan pointed to one of them and said, "I hope Director Su and I will sign it individually, without going through the agency."
Hearing this, Su Yuzhou was amused and suddenly became energetic, "It seems that you have a bad relationship with the company."
He spread his hands and continued, "I don't mind that, but the problem is that generally speaking, it will be stated in the artist's contract that even if the artist himself strives for commercial performances, endorsements, and business cooperation, the company will still take a cut."
Xia Nuan smiled lightly, "Don't worry, there's no such clause in my contract."
After the contract was signed, Su Yuzhou handed the folder on the sofa to Xia Nuan and said, "Think about it yourself first."
Xia Nuan opened the folder and found that there were only two pages of paper in it, with a story written on it, told entirely from the first person perspective.
This is a very simple story.
A woman, a timid peasant woman, was noticed by a wealthy young man because of her beauty, and they fell in love and married. Later, her husband cheated on her, and she spent her days in tears. But it's easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. She didn't want to live in poverty anymore, so she didn't dare to file for divorce.
Xia Nuan's emotions were easily stirred by this simple stroke of the pen. But don't bully her for being inexperienced; this is clearly not a script, and the story isn't even complete.
"Director Su, this story isn't finished yet, and there's no script?"
Su Yuzhou smirked, "You're right. If you only have such a simple and thin character, you really can't play the role of a protagonist. But my crew always gives things to actors after they join the crew. Don't lose the things. There is only one copy. If you lose it and don't replace it, you will bear the consequences yourself."
What can she say? You are the big director and you have the final say.
"Call me after the variety show is over and I will arrange for you to join the crew." Su Yuzhou waved his hand and was about to see him off.
Xia Nuan thanked Su Yuzhou again, and suddenly thought, "Director Su, who are the other actors in this play?"
Su Yuzhou yawned again and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Well, you'll know when the time comes. Anyway, among all the main actors right now, your acting skills are probably the worst."
Xia Nuan clenched her fist and said, "Thank you so much for your frankness."
After he finished speaking, he yawned several times and said, "Let's go, Director, I'm so sleepy. I can't sleep if I don't."
Xia Nuan caught the yawn and yawned several times. She was also very sleepy.
When I got home, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Xia Nuan entered the room, she threw herself on the bed and fell asleep soon after. When she woke up again, it was already dark.
She stretched and finally got enough sleep.
Xia Nuan was hugging her cat pillow and giggling. Half a month ago, she was still worried about rent and was planning to leave the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, she was about to act in a movie, directed by a famous director.
If her parents knew, they would probably be happy for her. Rolling around on the bed, Xia Nuan's smile grew brighter and brighter.
Xia Nuan was humming a song while cooking. Not a single word was in tune, but it didn't affect her good mood at all.
Under the official Weibo of "Rural Cottage", many fans left messages asking for the show to start airing soon. Under the message with the most likes, the official Weibo account owner replied: It will be available soon, so stay tuned.
The controversy surrounding Lou Su on Weibo hasn't subsided yet. A comment from the official Weibo account of "Rural Cottage" was immediately seized upon, with some claiming that Langfeng would make significant moves to protect Lou Su, and that they were likely to swirl rumors about other celebrities to confuse the public.
But what was embarrassing was that just as these comments were getting more and more intense, Lou Su's studio released the first Weibo post about the matter:
One person may spread falsehood, while ten thousand others may spread the truth. However, the truth will eventually come out. Thank you to @GangfengYeLi for your testimony. The court summons will be delivered to certain "interested individuals" later. We apologize for the time wasted on public resources.
Just a few simple words can cause a huge stir.
Xia Nuan quickly retweeted the post. Later, other alumni who attended the same school as Lou Su and Ye Li also came forward to testify.
Ye Li’s Weibo post was instantly flooded with all kinds of onlookers.
Zhou Xiaoyun was the most active one.
Ye Li’s Weibo account is obviously a new one registered recently, but it has been officially certified as a yellow V. The introduction below only has Gangfeng Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., and there is nothing else.
Just when netizens were wondering who this person was, netizens who had watched the live broadcast of the variety show clarified the mystery online.
This is the CEO of Gangfeng, one of the founders of Gangfeng, a truly impressive boss. He's only 25, and his company has already secured national projects. And according to the paparazzi @小明爱吃瓜, the only student who got into the top 10 in that high school was this boss, supposedly the top student in the old city back then.
The Weibo post Ye Li published was as concise and detailed as his personal introduction. It simply recounted the events of that day and somewhat embellished Lou Su's behavior.
Everyone then realized that the person who spread rumors about Lou Su was the one who had bullied him back then.
Lou Su's fans, who had been criticized for many days, praised Ye Li in various ways under Ye Li's Weibo post. In addition to various thank yous, the most comments were about Ye Li's handsome and beautiful pictures in the live broadcast.
Overnight, Ye Li’s Weibo followers increased by over 100,000, and all kinds of drones from Gangfeng Technology on Taobao were sold out overnight.
Public opinion completely turned around.
At the same time, Ye Li and Lou Su's Chestnut Su CP super topic has emerged as a rising star, with more than twice the number of fans of the CP below, and the number of fans is even increasing.
The number of likes on Xia Nuan's Weibo posts that were filled with blessings has dropped, but the messages asking her to break up with Lou Su have become the most liked again.
Fans are quick to control comments.
However, Xia Nuan didn't care at all and was actually happy to see it happen. Although there were some general deviations, it probably wouldn't be long before she could leave smoothly.
The official announcement of "Rural House" that the live broadcast will be restarted this Wednesday, that's still two days. In two days, she can do a lot of things...
Xia Nuan took out the papers that Su Yuzhou had given her and drew on them with a pencil.
A rural, cowardly, simple, crying migrant worker girl...
A rough image has been formed in my mind.
Who's calling? It's Yu Lilan. What do you want to talk to her about?
Xia Nuan frowned subconsciously.
"Xiao Xia, the sponsor of 'Rural Cottage', Zhenchun Milk, wants you to shoot a commercial. I've already arranged the job for you. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." This sentence was simply a notice. Yu Lilan didn't give Xia Nuan any chance to refuse.
The next day, shooting scene.
A foreigner with golden blue eyes stood there expressionlessly. He was exceptionally handsome, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and a camera hung on his chest.
The staff around him smiled cautiously and said, "I'm so sorry, the actor should be here soon. Please wait a moment."

★ "The female general planned to farm after becoming a concubine"
Shen Zhixiao disguised herself as a man and served in the army for more than ten years. At the age of 32, she had already made great military achievements for Daliang.
At that time, Your Majesty was the least favored prince of the late emperor.
The two met when they were teenagers and grew up from decline to glory.
War broke out again on the border, and Shen Zhixiao volunteered to join the army, but was rejected by His Majesty.
But she just slept for a while and went back to fifteen years ago, and became a concubine who committed suicide.
Then the letter of request for battle that she wrote all night until she was almost blinded would become a piece of waste paper.
But this isn’t the only bad thing:
The mother of this body has long forgotten it, and the father doesn't care about it.
Her brothers and sisters at home only mocked her and had no affection for her.
And the mistress was even more hateful, as she promised her daughter to an old man who was over 40 years old as his second wife.
But she was only thirteen years old. Shen Zhixiao was so angry that he was shaking all over. Damn it.
Even after becoming emperor, Ji Fangchen didn't dare to treat her like this.
Shen Zhixiao fully understood that the wealthy and powerful families were indeed full of intrigue and could not bring peace of mind.
But her current body was too weak, so Shen Zhixiao had to train slowly.
After recovering from her old injuries, she climbed over the wall with her money and left, turning the Shen Mansion upside down.
Shen Zhixiao returns to her old ways, disguising herself as a man and traveling around the country, intending to do everything she wanted to do but couldn't in her previous life.
But who knew that life would take a turn. She had avoided him, but how could she meet that guy Ji Fangchen again?
Eight years later, we meet again in the capital.
Everyone thinks that Shen Lang is handsome, but they don’t know that Shen Niang is depressed.
From an unknown child to a general feared by the enemy, from being underestimated to being fanatically worshipped.
Shen Zhixiao took eight years this time.
★《Becoming the Rebellious Male Protagonist’s Wife》Please add this to your collection QAQ
In his previous life, Shen Yaoguang, who had worked hard to become the general manager of a company, was reborn into a 28-year-old girl waiting to be married in an ancient country gentry family after a car accident.
After getting to know the surroundings and learning that he had traveled through a book, Shen Yaoguang was completely quit.
The hero of the novel, the future emperor, Qin Yungang, who is currently a scholar, was chosen by her father.
Although he looks like a decent person and has a bright future now, he rebelled a year later.
Although she lives in troubled times, Shen Yaoguang, who is familiar with the plot, knows which places are holy places to escape from chaos. She just wants to lie down and live a peaceful life in this life. How can she be willing to marry an emperor who is bound to rebel and has a large number of concubines in the future?
But her father had set his sights on this son-in-law and she had no chance to resist.
——
On their wedding night, before the veil was lifted, Chen Yaoguang said to Qin Yun, "I know you had to marry me because of my father. Once this storm is over, we can get divorced."
A month passed, and they still hadn't divorced. Two months later, and they still hadn't divorced. Were all those promises we made so confidently back then just lies?
In the third month, Shen Yaoguang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Shouldn't we get a divorce?"
Qin Yun's lips curled slightly, "What are you talking about, my lady? We are newly married, and I, your husband, cannot bear to hear the word divorce."
Bah, you bastard.
Chen Yaoguang had anticipated this situation and had taken her money and fled. She had been wandering around for half a year and had fallen in love with a neighbor boy, and they were about to discuss marriage.
Qin Yun led a group of people to occupy this place.
Chen Yaoguang disguised herself and planned to escape to another refuge, but was caught by Qin Yun at the city gate. "Madam, where are you going?"
——
There was chaos and war, conquest and plunder.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor and empress ruled together, and were called the Two Saints.
