Chapter 10: Playing the victim



She went to bed early and woke up early the next day; Luo Shimiao opened her eyes at 6:30.

Seeing that the two people next to me were still fast asleep, I quietly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, I went downstairs in my pajamas without changing my clothes.

Her face still had water droplets on it, her skin was fair and delicate, without a single blemish, and she was stunningly beautiful.

"Huh?" Luo Shimiao saw someone sitting on the living room sofa.

Hearing the noise, the man turned around and looked towards the stairwell.

"Good morning." Luo Shimiao greeted him with a bright smile.

"Good morning." He pushed up his glasses with his slender fingers.

Luo Shimiao admired the man's stunning good looks.

Gu Nian wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which added a sense of asceticism to his cool demeanor.

"Why are you up so early?" She thought she was the earliest riser, but she didn't expect someone to be up earlier than her.

Gu Nian put down the book in his hand and said calmly, "I'm not a fan of certain beds."

"This is not a good habit."

Work starts at eight o'clock, and it's not even seven yet. Luo Shimiao opened the refrigerator, wanting to make breakfast.

Luo Shimiao frowned; there were no suitable ingredients in the refrigerator for breakfast.

I sighed and went upstairs to change my clothes.

With her hands behind her back, whistling, she skipped and hopped out the door.

He noticed a tagalong following him and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"I like."

"Um..." How was she supposed to respond?

He took two steps back and walked side by side with Gu Nian. With no cameras around, he didn't have to worry about speaking so much: "Why did you come to participate in the show?"

"The richest man is right in front of me, and I don't even recognize him. Why didn't I think of swindling you that night? What a pity, I missed out on a huge sum of money."

A smile appeared in Gu Nian's eyes: "It's not too late now. How many do you want? I'll give them to you after the show ends."

"Really?" Luo Shimiao's eyes lit up.

"Really." The man was very serious, and there was no joking in his eyes.

"Forget it, nothing is worse than something you earn yourself." She was just joking, but the other person took it seriously.

She's a model citizen, how could she do something like extortion?

"You haven't answered my first question yet."

He fixed his gaze on the girl's face and said, "Inspired by you, I think I'm not bad looking either, so I can't waste my good looks."

He calls this "okay"?

"So you're planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, I hope Teacher Luo will take good care of me in the future."

"I heard from them that you have more than 200 million fans. Are you even leaving any room for others to survive?"

"It's not my fault that I have a lot of money, a lot of fans, and am handsome. If I take away their jobs, it's their own fault for not being good enough."

Luo Shimiao couldn't help but click her tongue; this person's shamelessness was just as great as hers.

As I passed by a house, I saw an uncle in the yard doing his morning exercise, wearing a white vest.

Luo Shimiao remembered the purpose of her trip and ran over there.

Good morning, uncle.

"Okay, whose kid are you? You look unfamiliar."

"We're here to film a show. Your village has great air quality, is beautiful and clean, and I really like it here."

"Uncle, we're hungry. Could we help you with some chores in exchange for some noodles?"

“Our director is so mean. He doesn’t give us food, and he even confiscated our phones and cash.”

"I'm going to town to help Grandpa Lin get medicine and sell eggs. I thought I'd do some work to earn some noodles to cook and eat. You need to be full to have the energy to work."

Luo Shimiao, with snot and tears streaming down her face, complained to the uncle.

"This is outrageous!" The uncle was furious after hearing this.

“That’s right.” Luo Shimiao wiped her eyes, hooked her arm around Gu Nian’s, and pulled him forward.

My companion was too hungry to even speak.

Gu Nian: "............."

He lowered his eyes and quietly watched the girl playing the victim. Then his gaze shifted and landed on their crossed arms, his expression deepening.

"Little sister, wait here, uncle will make you breakfast."

"No need, no need. Just assign us work, and when we're done, we'll get some noodles to cook ourselves."

The uncle waved his hand and said, "Silly kids, why are you doing any work? I'll just give it to you."

Luo Shimiao frowned, sighed deeply, and said, "If I give it to them directly, the director will scold me. You should just assign them some tasks."

After much persuasion from Luo Shimiao, the uncle led the two upstairs.

Pointing to two burlap sacks in the stairwell, he said, "There's not much work to do, so you can help me carry these two sacks of peanuts to the roof to dry."

"Okay." Just as I was about to pick up one of the bags, my hand was grabbed.

"I'll do it."

A man's deep, resonant voice rang in my ears.

Thinking that Gu Nian thought she couldn't move it, Luo Shimiao clenched her fist and showed off her non-existent biceps: "Although I look a bit weak, I can move it."

He ruffled Luo Shimiao's hair: "Be good, listen to me, go upstairs first."

Luo Shimiao stood frozen in place, just now... Gu Nian ruffled her hair and said something to her...

The man picked up a bag of peanuts and, seeing she hadn't gone up yet, asked, "Why aren't you going up?"

"Huh? Up, up, up." She snapped out of her daze, took two steps in one, and ran up to the rooftop, as if something was chasing her.

There were also two suspicious blushes on her face.

The man's smile widened; she was so adorable.

Luo Shimiao poured out the peanuts that Gu Nian had carried up and spread them out evenly.

"Done." He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Seeing the heart shape on the ground, Gu Nian smiled helplessly.

The uncle gave them a tube of noodles and some peanuts, telling them to take it back and cook it.

"Thank you, uncle, you're so kind."

"Go back and eat more, you're too thin."
