Luo Shimiao went downstairs and sat down next to Jiang Xue, saying, "Sister Xue, Sister Xue, Qiao Zhixi just asked me to help her choose a lipstick shade. Has she lost her mind?"
Jiang Xue's eyes widened in surprise. "She's still not done? She started fussing as soon as she got up and asked me to help her pick out clothes. But she hadn't chosen anything after 10 minutes, so I decided to escape."
"Time for breakfast." Huang Zongyi walked in from outside carrying a pot of noodles.
Luo Shimiao didn't care what was wrong with Qiao Zhixi, and followed Huang Zongyi around happily, his eyes glued to the noodles in the pot.
"It smells so good, Brother Yi, your cooking skills are amazing." Luo Shimiao's eyes lit up as he looked at the tomato and egg noodles in the pot, which looked delicious.
Six sets of bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged on the dining table.
Gu Nian walked over silently, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"Haha, I'm the one who does most of the cooking at home, so I've gotten the hang of it after a while."
Luo Shimiao used serving chopsticks to put the noodles into the bowl, and then used a soup spoon to add soup.
Move your foot half a step to the left, bend your knee, and sit down.
"Huh?" The chair has a cushion? It's so soft.
"Clang."
The bowl in Jiang Xue's hand fell onto the table, making a clattering sound.
Three stunned faces stared at Luo Shimiao, frozen in place.
Judging from the three people's reactions and the warm "cushion," Luo Shimiao already knew what he was sitting on.
His stiff neck slowly moved backward until it met those dark eyes.
A surge of heat rushed to his head, and his face instantly turned completely red.
Gu Nian looked at the blushing girl with a half-smile.
Luo Shimiao jumped up and stammered, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were sitting here. I hope I didn't hurt you."
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow, his slender fingers stacked in front of him: "Do I look weak?"
She glanced at the man cautiously: "You don't even dare to catch a chicken."
Gu Nian: "……………………"
Looking at that exceptionally handsome face, Luo Shimiao walked in front of the camera, placed his hands in front of him, stood straight, and had a serious expression.
Everyone stared at her, not understanding what she was going to do.
"Ahem." Luo Shimiao cleared his throat and said, "Hello to Gu Nian's 200 million fans, I am Luo Shimiao, who has been getting roasted recently."
"I know you're all cursing me right now, accusing me of deliberately sitting on your brother to seduce him. Let me clarify first, I really didn't do it on purpose. After all, I don't have eyes in the back of my head."
"Don't worry, Gu Nian's iron will is something that someone as rough-looking as me can't shake."
Even when drugged and surrounded by beautiful women, he could resist the urge to get an erection; he's either made of steel or impotent.
"I hope you will be merciful and shut your mouths, thank you." He said it all in one breath, without even panting, then returned to his seat and quietly ate his noodles.
This damn will to survive.
Luo Shimiao's speech did have some effect.
Live stream chat:
—[Forget it, I'll let it go since she's aware of her own limitations.]
—[She really didn't see Brother Gu Nian, so I forgive her.]
—【Actually, I think her personality is alright, not as exaggerated as the rumors online.】
—【To believe that would be naive. You've forgotten what she does: an actress! She's always acting.】
After breakfast, the director handed Luo Shimiao a folded sheet and a basket of eggs.
Director Li: "Keep this prescription safe. It contains the money for the medicine and the address."
Looking at the basket full of free-range eggs, probably more than a hundred, Luo Shimiao tilted her head and asked, "What if the eggs break on the way?"
Director Li squinted and said, "Deduct it from your salary."
"Damn it, that's not fair! Why are you deducting my hard-earned money?" Luo Shimiao put her hands on her hips and glared at Director Li.
Looking at the girl's flustered appearance, Gu Nian's eyes were filled with a deep smile, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Deduct from mine."
Director Li immediately put on a smiling face and said obsequiously, "Teacher Gu, how could I possibly deduct from your pay? If it breaks, I'll pay for it."
Luo Shimiao: "........."
Today she experienced firsthand what blatant double standards are.
Luo Shimiao went upstairs, took out a bag from his suitcase, put his motorcycle driver's license and prescription inside, and also packed some boiled peanuts in it.
Where's the car?
Director Li pointed forward, and Luo Shimiao saw that he was referring to two staff members.
"Ride them?"
Director Li was speechless: "Get out of the way, you're blocking the way."
The staff member quickly ducked and ran out of the camera's view.
Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian exchanged a glance, their eyes both asking, "Is this for real?"
Luo Shimiao stepped forward and touched the old-fashioned vehicle: "Although I know you won't get any good vehicles, you don't have to go through the trouble of getting a beat-up and old 125."
"The seat cushions are peeling, there's only one rearview mirror, and the exhaust pipe is almost hollowed out."
"Are you sure you can ride this thing out? Won't it fall apart halfway there?"
Director Li patted his chest and said confidently, "I guarantee it won't happen, we've tried it."
Although I still have doubts, the director has given his assurances, so I can't say much more.
"All right."
With a long stride, he turned the key, pressed the ignition switch, and twisted the accelerator a few times, but there was no response.
Luo Shimiao looked at Director Li expressionlessly.
Director Li touched his head, looked away, and whispered, "We start fires by stepping on them with our feet."
Luo Shimiao sighed.
One tap, two taps, three taps... Finally, Luo Shimiao stood up, mustered all his strength, and stomped on the gas pedal a full ten times before finally getting it started.
