Chapter 38 A Tiger in the Heart Sniffing Roses



When Shen Ci and Brother Zhang arrived at the address given by Lu Xiao, Shen Ci realized that Lu Xiao seemed to be moving there as well?

In the huge house, there were many familiar servants busy packing things, even Aunt Bai, the housekeeper who had taken care of Lu Xiao since he was a child, came over.

Aunt Bai smiled the moment she saw Shen Ci: "Xiao Ci, let's go to the main hall and have some tea and rest first."

"Yeah." Shen Ci nodded and asked hesitantly, "Do we need to keep so many people here?"

Aunt Bai saw his concern and shook her head with a smile: "No, they are just here to help move things. I will take care of the housework and prepare dinner during the day, and only Mr. Lu and you will stay here at night."

Shen Ci was stunned. Is his uncle really going to move in?

But he works in the CBD in the city center, which is far away from here. How troublesome it must be to go to work...

After the ceremony of worshipping and opening the film, there were no activities scheduled for the day, except for a small gathering in the evening. Shen Ci didn't want to go, so he asked Brother Zhang to turn it down.

But unable to resist the director's cordial invitation, Zhang Ge had no choice but to go on stage for Shen Ci.

"You're not going?" Yang Wei asked on the other end of the phone.

Shen Ci said lazily, "Well... I'm too lazy to deal with it. I want to have a good rest today."

He was taking a bath, his whole body soaked in the hot water. He sighed comfortably and felt drowsy.

Yang Xi said "Oh" and then said, "Then I won't go either. Xiao Lin helped me to turn it down... Hey, I don't care. It's boring to go. I won't go..."

He suddenly became talkative and seemed to have argued with his assistant for a long time before turning back to talk to Shen Ci again: "Xiao Ci, you just said you were not in the hotel?"

Shen Ci seemed not to hear anything and did not respond.

Yang Xi asked again: "Xiao Ci? Did you hear what I just said?"

There was still no response from the other end of the phone, but there was the faint sound of a door opening and footsteps. Yang Qing felt strange and continued to ask persistently: "Where are you now? You are not going to a party without telling me, are you?"

"He's asleep."

The sudden deep male voice startled Yang Qi. He took out his phone in surprise and saw that the person he was talking to was Shen Ci!

"Um, may I ask who you are--" Yang Gui asked with a frown.

The only response he got was the sound of the phone being hung up.

Yang Xi: “???”

What the hell!

Judging from the man’s tone just now, it shouldn’t be Shen Ci who was kidnapped by a bad guy. Then who is he?

Could it be that Shen Ci is being kept by a wealthy sponsor? Yang Xi was frightened by this thought and immediately called Brother Zhang.

Brother Zhang was chatting with the director. Hearing Yang Qing's panic, he almost laughed out loud: "Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, don't let that brat know about this idea. He will argue with you all day and all night."

"That's his uncle! Did you forget?"

After the call was hung up, Yang was stunned.

Shen Ci's uncle had met at the annual meeting and birthday party. He was the president of Yunxiao.

But why did Shen Ci stay at his house when he was filming?!

This person seems to have blocked his and Lin Wan’s Weibo accounts for no apparent reason...

Yang Xi held the phone and fell into deep thought.

***

Lu Xiao reached out and hung up the phone that Shen Ci had placed next to the bathtub, then lowered his eyes to look at Shen Ci who was sleeping in the bathtub.

The foam floating on the water surface gradually faded, and one could even vaguely see what was happening underwater. Lu Xiao frowned and forced himself to look away, looking at Shen Ci's sleeping face.

The white skin was reddened by the heat, the long eyelashes cast shadows, the lips were moist and slightly open...

"..." Lu Xiao turned his eyes away again with an expressionless face and stared at the small TV next to the bathtub, trying to divert his attention.

The squeaking sound of the small TV gradually faded, and he didn't know when the only sound in his mind was the sound of his blood pounding. His breathing had already become irregular.

Originally I just wanted to keep a close eye on the person so that he wouldn't be lured away by other cats and dogs.

But when Shen Ci stayed beside him defenselessly, and didn't even lock the bathroom door when taking a shower... Lu Xiao began to regret this decision again.

He pulled out a towel, carried the person out horizontally and wrapped him up. Although he tried not to look, the soft and delicate touch of his palm still distracted him.

Lu Xiao carried the sleeping Shen Ci to the room, dried him, found the fitted pajamas he had prepared in advance and put them on him, and couldn't help but feel the veins on his forehead throbbing.

"call……"

Shen Ci lay comfortably on the ground. He snored, turned over, closed his eyes and smacked his lips.

The corners of her clothes were turned up to reveal a large white waist, and her slender curves were covered by pajamas, hiding her charm.

Lu Xiao: “…”

If you recruit him again, you will really be cannibalized.

Lu Xiao immediately covered Shen Ci with the quilt and pinched his forehead to calm himself down.

He stood stiffly beside the bed for a long time, leaned over and gently kissed Shen Ci's forehead, his hot breath slowly moving down the bridge of his nose——

In the end, Lu Xiao restrained himself and stopped at the tip of his nose with a sigh.

"Good night, baby."

***

In the morning, Brother Zhang's death alarm rang, and Shen Ci was suddenly awakened, his eyes wide open in confusion.

What a strange ceiling. Where is this?

Hmm...it seems like I live in the house bought by my uncle?

Why doesn't he have the impression of sleeping in this room?

Shen Ci answered the phone, climbed up and sat on the bed, looking down at his pajamas - still had no impression of them.

He scratched his head in confusion, probably thinking that his uncle had changed it for him.

"Xiaoci, my car is almost at the villa. Get up and wash up."

"good……"

Brother Zhang made a statement, then hung up the phone after hearing the sound of the child getting out of bed and walking lazily in slippers.

In winter, the sun rises late. Even at six o'clock, it is still dark outside.

Shen Ci quietly put on his clothes and washed up, then opened the door to the room, only to find that the main hall downstairs was brightly lit.

He leaned on the railing curiously, and saw Lu Xiao sitting at the dining table in a suit. He was drinking coffee slowly and elegantly, with a small reading screen next to him, probably reading the news.

Shen Ci walked down and asked curiously, "Uncle, do you usually get up so early?"

Lu Xiao's working hours are nine o'clock. Could it be that I have to get up at six o'clock because I live so far away from him? Shen Ci felt a little guilty.

"Are you up?" Lu Xiao saw Shen Ci coming down, stood up, took a bacon and egg dish from the counter, and pushed it to the end of the table: "There's been a lot of work at the company lately, so I'm going to work early."

"Aunt Bai is not here, so I just did what I could to make do with it."

The bacon and eggs looked good and had an alluring aroma. Suddenly, a strange idea popped into Shen Ci's mind.

President Yunxiao personally cooked the meal and they could have breakfast together. Would this opportunity fetch over a million dollars if it was sold at auction?

"Why don't you eat?" Seeing him stunned, Lu Xiao tapped the table with his fingertips: "Does it look unpalatable?"

Shen Ci shook his head quickly, trying to get rid of Yang Xishi's money-obsessed behavior.

What's the price? It's priceless!

Lu Xiao knows how to cook. It was because Shen Ci had a bad temper when he was a child that he had no choice but to learn how to coax the little kid.

Shen Ci was very confident. Since it was his fault that he learned it, no one could snatch it from him!

Just as he sat down and started eating, he heard several car horns outside the villa. Brother Zhang had arrived.

"Oh my god..." Shen Ci ate his meal quickly, mouthful after mouthful, and finally stuffed the remaining large piece into his mouth.

Shen Ci stood up, still chewing hard with his cheeks bulging, and said with difficulty like a little hamster: "Xiao Su... let's go."

Lu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and waved to Xiao Ci: "Well, keep up the good work."

Shen Ci picked up his backpack and hurried out, opened the door of the nanny car and got in.

Originally he wanted Brother Zhang to stay here as well, but Brother Zhang firmly refused, saying that it was only a ten-minute drive and he could just stay in a hotel.

Shen Ci had no choice but to agree.

He sat in the back seat, and Brother Zhang thoughtfully turned on the lights for him so that he could review the script again.

Once the shooting starts, it means racing against time.

Shen Ci took out the tattered script from his bag, carefully read the part he was going to perform, and then put it down.

He had already memorized the script this time, so now he could do it with ease.

Before filming began, Shen Ci memorized his lines like crazy every day. His lips were almost sore from memorizing them, but he finally memorized them by heart.

Brother Zhang was very surprised by this.

When we were filming "Never Say Goodbye", Brother Zhang forced Shen Ci to recite the poems every day. If she didn't, his mobile phone and bank card would be confiscated and she would not be allowed to eat. Only then did Shen Ci finish reciting while crying.

Seeing Shen Ci put down the script with confidence in his eyes and face in the rearview mirror, Brother Zhang also smiled: "Are you done with it?"

"Um!"

"Hey, you've really grown up and become more sensible recently."

Brother Zhang was very pleased, but unfortunately he was driving and couldn't touch Shen Ci's puppy head.

As she worked so hard, her temper improved, and her natural talent and ability, which had been hidden by her overly delicate face, gradually emerged.

The current Shen Ci is the one with a truly promising future.

***

"Cut! This one has passed!"

The director shouted into the loudspeaker, and looked delighted as he saw Shen Ci and Lin Wan heaving a sigh of relief and preparing to go downstairs to rest.

He didn't expect that the filming would go so smoothly from the beginning.

Especially Shen Ci, he was simply amazed. He never expected that this newcomer who was regarded as a "vase" had such good acting skills.

Not only was his lines fluent and his expressions on point, but he also completely immersed himself in the role. It was obvious that Shen Ci had put in a lot of effort before filming began.

As for the second male lead, Lin Wan, he pales in comparison. He even makes the mistake of memorizing his lines incorrectly. I don't know where his focus is.

But the overall effect is very good!

The stagehand slapped the clipboard shut, and another scene was successfully completed.

"Xiao Shen and Xiao Lin, take a break first, you've worked so hard! The next scene is the hero and heroine bumping into each other during their morning run, it starts in 2 minutes!"

Shen Ci put on his down jacket, took a sip of the water handed to him by Brother Zhang, closed his eyes and let the makeup artists do their work.

"Wow, the skin is so delicate and white, I envy it so much..."

"Teacher Shen, you acted really well just now! You look so cute in a fierce and adorable way! This drama will definitely be a hit with you in it."

"Yes, yes, everyone was attracted when you performed."

“…”

The makeup artists chatted and laughed. They had just started their work today, so they still had some energy to chat.

Shen Ci smiled with his eyes closed, and said casually: "There is very little work in front of the camera. The whole play depends on the logistical work of the sisters. You work much harder than me."

He was very sweet-talking, and even though the makeup artists knew he was just being polite, they couldn't help but laugh because it was always nice to be praised by a handsome guy.

People on the Internet say that he is a big shot, a bully, and a mere flower vase... Today I see that it is just a rumor.

She is good-looking, has a good temper, and her acting skills are pretty good among newcomers. She is obviously a high-quality idol!

Yang Qi saw Shen Ci walking towards the resting area and stood up with a smile: "Your acting skills are really good! I was really afraid that I would be outshined by you when we were acting opposite each other."

Shen Ci was not so polite to his acquaintances, and said proudly: "Of course. Compared with the two of us, I am the senior, I will definitely suppress you!"

His acting skills now are much better than when he was in "Never Say Goodbye".

After all, before filming began, he not only memorized the lines, but also stayed up late to study the performance clips of many best actor and actresses, and even sought advice from his seniors.

He has a high level of comprehension, is talented, and learns quickly.

Yang Xi laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, you see, you are right!"

Qin Yun and other actors were also amused.

Lin Wan walked in, looking a little unhappy, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

But when he met Shen Ci's eyes, he still forced a smile: "Xiao Ci, you acted really well, unlike me... Alas, I am such a waste."

His face was filled with sadness, and he looked like he was in moral kidnapping, and it was almost as if he had "Shen Ci, come and comfort me" written directly on his forehead.
