Shen Ci was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to post, so he could only reply with a "laughing and crying" emoticon.

Student Lu An: But you are very talented, so talented that people envy you.

Student Lu An: Try your best not to waste your talent, otherwise it will be a pity. I hope you can get out of the comfort zone of idol dramas. I look forward to learning from you again in the future.

Then, he sent me five Word documents: reflections on the training of the acting class, reflections on the training of the dialogue class, and a summary of the lecture notes...

Shen Ci: ???

Shen Ci was confused. He felt his scalp tingling as soon as he clicked on the scan. He recalled the fear of being dominated by the academic bully when he was in school.

The 20,000-word document is detailed, full of useful information, and has a carefully classified catalog.

Coke Baked Spicy Chili Sauce: What is this?

Student Lu An: My reflection notes over the past few years may be of some help to you.

Student Lu An: But practical training is the most important. I suggest you apply to the college and participate in professional training.

Shen Ci was flattered. He heard from the teacher that Lu An was the best student in his class. Was the top student going to take him to great heights?

He responded with a cute emoji of throwing flowers to show his gratitude, and also asked Lu An to have dinner together when she was free.

Lu An casually replied "Yeah" and went to practice. He probably squeezed out time to chat with Shen Ci.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the class, he would meet a top student who valued talent and was kind. Shen Ci downloaded all his reflection notes to his computer and opened the first one with great motivation.

Two minutes later, as expected, Shen Ci was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes and fell headfirst onto the bed.

"Sure enough, learning is the most effective way to cure insomnia..."

Shen Ci muttered something and fell asleep.

He was sleeping soundly and vaguely heard his cell phone ringing. He frowned and closed his eyes to reach for the phone.

"Hey..." Shen Ci walked away without even looking at him, his voice lazy.

"Sleeping?"

It’s Min Shoubei!

Shen Ci suddenly woke up as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him. He sat up and said nonchalantly, "No, I was just practicing the lazy tone and demeanor I would have when I just woke up."

There was laughter on the other end of the phone, and Shen Ci continued to talk nonsense, "Dad, did I act very convincingly? I almost scared you just now."

Anyway, he couldn't let Min Shoubei find out that he was taking a nap... otherwise Shen Ci suspected that he would be killed by someone.

Min Shoubei said with a smile: "You are acting as you really are. I am not so strict that I won't even let you take a lunch break, am I?"

"Take good care of yourself. Your agent will pick you up at your company this afternoon. You will have your performance and body training classes at the company. I have already hired a teacher for you."

Being discovered, and arranged clearly, Shen Ci sighed: "Okay..."

"I have to go back to Country M to handle some work. From now on, your agent or Lu Xiao will pick you up. We'll leave at 7 a.m. every day. You're not allowed to stay in bed late, understand?"

I have to get up so early when I'm not filming... Shen Ci cried in his heart and reluctantly agreed: "I know."

Life is not easy, the baby sighs.

However, didn’t Min Shoubei hate his closeness to Lu Xiao... and yet he agreed to let Lu Xiao pick him up?

Shen Ci still remembers Min Shoubei’s roar when they first met in the hospital. It’s scary just thinking about it.

It was Lu Xiao who came to pick us up just now. Did they reach some kind of peace and truce agreement in secret?

Shen Ci didn't understand and asked, Min Shoubei said unhappily: "Is that what you want? Then I can openly date Lu Xiao in the future?"

Shen Ci said with a guilty conscience: "No way...we are not in love."

Min Shoubei was surprised: "You call this no talk? You two are eager to glue them together every day, and you think your dad is blind?"

"Ah..." Shen Ci blinked blankly: "Is it so obvious?"

But he was also very clingy to Lu Xiao before, but now he just kisses her a few more times...

Min Shoubei snorted coldly: "If you really want to be with him, and I stop you, what if you two elope? I don't want to lose my son again after so much trouble."

What do you mean by elopement? Shen Ci's ears gradually turned red: "... Dad, you are getting more and more outrageous."

Min Shoubei was silent for a while, his tone a little uncomfortable: "Anyway, Lu Xiao is okay, he seems reliable and treats you well."

When Shen Ci asked further, Min Shoubei became vague and finally hung up the phone.

Shen Ci:?

It’s inexplicable... Shen Ci still doesn’t understand why Min Shoubei suddenly changed his mind.

However, it's a good thing that my dad reluctantly recognized Lu Xiao.

Shen Ci was happy for a while, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

It was clearly Lu Xiao who was pursuing her, so why was he happy that the obstacles in Lu Xiao's pursuit were reduced?

Shen Ci buried his increasingly hot face in the pillow, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

Does this mean that I also like Lu Xiao and want to be with him soon?

***

Min Shoubei found three professional teachers for him and arranged a weekly class schedule based on Shen Ci's class schedule.

Shen Ci went to the company this afternoon to practice performance, and had a physical education class in the evening.

When Shen Ci went to the designated practice room in the evening, he found something was wrong... The teacher looked a bit like a famous dancer.

The teacher gave Shen Ci a kind devilish smile: "Hello, Xiao Shen, I will teach you ballet for the next three months to improve your body expression ability and posture temperament."

Shen Ci: “…”

Body shape, does it mean practicing dance?

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts—”

Shen Ci's legs were forcibly lifted up and pressed down, his face wrinkled and he wailed. The teacher didn't even have the heart to press him.

She sighed and let go: "Is your body so stiff? You are stuck at the basic level."

Shen Ci immediately sat down on the ground, gritted his teeth and touched the painful part of his thigh, tears welling up in his eyes.

It's not that he is strong, it's that he was tortured the night before and his back, back, and legs are sore, and his sore muscles and abrasions hurt when they are pulled.

Lu Xiao had praised his soft waist that day... Shen Ci's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and beat Lu Xiao in his heart.

Shen Ci was too embarrassed to explain the whole thing to the dance teacher, so he had to bite his lip in pain and continue to practice basic leg and shoulder presses, as well as basic ballet postures.

Shen Ci himself didn't expect that he had such great perseverance that he could endure the pain and finish the entire class.

If it were before, Shen Ci would have complained and gone home, but today he didn't want to give up so quickly.

Whether it is Lu Xiao, Min Shoubei, Zhang Ge, Shen Bie or Min Song... they are all very powerful and are the best in their respective fields.

Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by Min Shoubei, Shen Ci wanted to try his best and didn't want to be a protected little waste forever.

By the end of the class, Shen Ci's training suit was soaked with sweat, his legs were shaking, and he almost fell to his knees after taking a step forward.

Luckily, the next dance class is the day after tomorrow...he can rest for a while.

Shen Ci wanted to cry but had no tears. He had problems coordinating his limbs and was afraid that he would be tortured to death by the physical education class...

After saying goodbye to the teacher, Brother Zhang helped Shen Ci out of the company. Shen Ci's limping and listless appearance almost made Brother Zhang laugh to death.

Shen Ci was angry: "Stop laughing!"

"Okay, okay, kid, you are getting angry because of embarrassment."

Brother Zhang then began to hold back his laughter, and was afraid of ruining his performance so he did not dare to open his mouth to speak, and his face turned red.

He finally calmed down his smile and ruffled Shen Ci's puffy hair: "You are amazing. I had already made up a reason to take you home halfway through, but I didn't expect you to actually finish the practice."

Shen Ci tried hard to ignore the numbness in his thighs, raised his chin and said proudly: "Awesome, right?"

"Awesome, awesome! Xiaoci has made great progress."

The elevator door opened, and Shen Ci limped a few steps toward the nanny car before being stopped by Brother Zhang: "Hey, don't go there. President Lu said he'll pick you up on the way."

Lu Xiao? Shen Ci blinked in confusion, but it was already past nine in the evening and Lu Xiao had already left work, so how could it be on his way?

"Baby."

Shen Ci was caught off guard and was picked up by someone. He looked up with a look of horror. It was Lu Xiao.

How come he suddenly appeared? It's so scary.

"What's wrong with your legs?" Lu Xiao frowned slightly. "Your face is so pale too, what's wrong?"

In the parking space about ten steps away from the two of them, the familiar Bentley's driver's door was wide open. It was obvious that Lu Xiao got out of the car in a hurry.

Brother Zhang had already run away when Lu Xiao showed up. Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ci couldn't help but get angry: "Your legs hurt from stretching in dance class. It's all because of my uncle!"

The leather shoes made an elegant and slow tapping sound as Lu Xiao carried the person towards the car: "What's going on?"

Shen Ci complained about the terrible situation tonight in a wronged manner, and exaggeratedly described how painful it was to pull the abrasions on his legs. Lu Xiao frowned more and more when he heard it, and as soon as he put the person in the car, he touched Shen Ci's belt.

Shen Ci was startled and quickly slapped his hand away: "What are you doing! Are you bullying me again!"

Lu Xiao smiled helplessly: "My dear, let me see how the wound is."

Seeing that Shen Ci was still on guard, he regretted that he was too impatient and hurt Shen Ci that night, so he had to lower his head and coax him: "I swear, I will never do anything unnecessary."

Lu Xiao never breaks his promise. Shen Ci hesitated but finally let go of her hand: "Then you better be careful..."

"Be good." Lu Xiao kissed him on the forehead.

Shen Ci was just making up stories about the terrible situation, but when he looked down, he found that it was even worse than what he said...

The thin scabs had all cracked, leaving some faint traces of dried blood, which made the purple bruises on the fair skin more obvious, looking extremely miserable.

"I'm sorry, baby." Lu Xiao's eyes were full of pity and guilt, and he gently kissed the wound on Shen Ci's leg.

"!" Shen Ci shuddered, and quickly pushed Lu Xiao away and put on his pants: "I'll go home and take some medicine. I'll go back to school the day after tomorrow, and I should be well enough to recover."

Lu Xiao refused to let him go home alone, so he drove to the drugstore to buy a bunch of medicine, and then followed the man directly to the small apartment.

"I will also go to the variety show you are going to participate in tomorrow, so I will just stay at your place." Lu Xiao carried her to the sofa and sat her down, then locked the door. Shen Ci didn't even have a chance to refute.

Lu Xiao took off his suit jacket as soon as he entered the room and started to work. He put hot water in to help Shen Ci take a bath, dried him off, put him on the bed, applied hot compresses to the wound, and disinfected and applied medicine again.

Shen Ci felt so comfortable being taken care of that he almost fell asleep while taking a bath. He woke up a little from the pain when he was being disinfected and applying medicine to his wound.

"Uncle..." He was so sleepy that he lowered his eyes and called out.

In order to apply the medicine more conveniently, Lu Xiao bent one of his thin legs and carried it on his shoulder, and held the other leg up by the ankle with a big hand. When Lu Xiao heard Shen Ci calling him, he put it down and gently kneaded Shen Ci's waist: "What's wrong? Does your waist hurt?"

Shen Ci shook his head and reached out for a hug, and Lu Xiao leaned over without knowing why.

Shen Ci hugged his neck and kissed Lu Xiao on the lips, awkwardly imitating Lu Xiao's usual kiss.

"Thank you, uncle..."

"..." His fair, sweet and soft beloved was lying on his back, and she even took the initiative to express her gratitude with a kiss. It was difficult for Lu Xiao not to react.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, the veins on his forehead throbbing. He ended the kiss when Shen Ci was tired, then silently continued to apply medicine and massage Shen Ci, then turned around and walked into the bathroom in a wolfish manner.

When he came back from the cold shower, Shen Ci had already fallen asleep. She was hugging a pillow casually, with a large area of ​​her fair skin stained pink exposed, her face flushed from sleep, and her moist red lips slightly parted.

Lu Xiao: “…”

He covered the person with a blanket, took a cold shower, and when he came back he lay down beside Shen Ci, away from him.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ci came looking for him on his own initiative.

Shen Ci dazedly grabbed Lu Xiao's neck, and his soft lips inadvertently stroked Lu Xiao's sensitive jawline, exuding the sweet scent of grapefruit, and he kissed and rubbed him recklessly.

Using the same toothpaste, Shen Ci's breath was dyed so sweet that Lu Xiao's breathing became disordered again.

Shen Ci muttered something in his ear, as if talking in his sleep.

"Uncle, I like you so much..."

Lu Xiao's heart suddenly sank. He turned around and stared at Shen Ci with red eyes.

He wanted to shake Shen Ci awake and ask the child to repeat it again in full and clearly, but he was afraid that Shen Ci was just speaking casually in his dream and it couldn't be taken seriously.

This little guy is not an angel at all, he is definitely a little devil sent by God to torture him...

The next day, Shen Ci woke up drowsily after a good night's sleep. He was shocked to see Lu Xiao's eyes full of bloodshot.

"Uncle, did you stay up late working last night?" Shen·the culprit·Ci asked worriedly.

Lu Xiao: “…Yeah.”

I can't let the little devil torture me anymore.

***

While in the car, Shen Ci sharpened his skills before the battle and recited the script carefully.

Lu Xiao asked him what he was doing, and Shen Ci was surprised.

"Didn't you get the copy?"

Lu Xiao frowned slightly: "Yes."

Shen Ci had a bad feeling: "Then you...didn't you memorize it?"

Lu Xiao's eyes were calm: "There's no need to waste time on this, the on-the-spot reaction is enough."

Shen Ci was helpless: "...Okay." You are a strong man, you have the final say.

By the time the two arrived at the variety show set, quite a few people had already arrived.

Qin Yun, Wei Shuo, and Yang Qi all came to greet and chat happily. Even Shao Jinhuan came despite taking a leave of absence. However, he just gave them a silent look and did not join in the conversation.

The variety show started recording soon. Guo Ruoruo seemed to like Shen Ci very much and kept jumping back to ask him questions.

For some things that were not in the original version, Shen Ci simply said them in the least wrong way, for fear of adding burden to the public relations team.

Occasionally, questions thrown at Shen Ci would be interrupted by Lu Xiao or others, breaking the original scripted answer and making the conversation more interesting.

After Lu Xiao answered a question for Shen Ci again, Shen Ci smiled sweetly at him in thanks.

Guo Ruoruo, who was watching from afar, was touched by the cuteness and said with a smile: "You two have a really good relationship. You look like a perfect couple in the drama, and you actually look like a couple in real life too."

Lu Xiao said casually: "Yes."

Not only Shen Ci looked at Lu Xiao in astonishment, but everyone in the studio was stunned and looked at Lu Xiao in horror.

Guo Ruoruo: “…”

The script clearly states that Lu Xiao should smile devilishly and mysteriously at this time and say "I just like this kid very much" to hype up the CP in an ambiguous way.

But what the hell is this now? A direct admission of love?

She tried to make a face to remind him, but it seemed that Lu Xiao was not on the same wavelength as her at all.

Lu Xiao's eyes slowly drifted back to Shen Ci, his eyes were full of affection, and his voice was deep and magnetic.

"But we're not in a relationship. I'm the one pursuing him."
