Shen Ci put away all the books near the bed, stuffed Lu Xiao into the quilt and forced him to sleep and rest.

Lu Xiao rarely had such a moment. He was forced to lie on the bed with nothing to do, so he could only look around Shen Ci's room.

Shen Ci never asked the maid to clean the house, and he was too lazy to clean up himself. The decorative gifts sent by fans were scattered everywhere, and snacks and comic books were also randomly placed, so he could eat them wherever he went.

The originally large bedroom was in a mess and looked cramped and small.

But it is full of life. Lu Xiao likes the feeling that Shen Ci’s small bedroom gives him. It is as warm and lovely as Shen Ci.

Lu Xiao smiled faintly and slowly closed his eyes. He stretched out his slender fingers to rub his temples. After a while, he frowned and rubbed the right side of his head, but the pain did not ease at all.

"Uncle, why aren't you asleep?"

Shen Ci brought over two steaming bowls and said with a worried look, "Do you have a headache? Drink the porridge and take some medicine."

"Okay." Lu Xiao's voice was still hoarse.

Lu Xiao has a peculiar physique. He seldom gets sick, but when he does, it is usually very serious.

Usually, Lu Xiao gets up early, and he is reluctant to wake up Shen Ci who is sleeping soundly, so he delays getting up as much as possible.

Over the past few days, Shen Ci has developed the habit of attending classes on time. Anyway, with the reliable Lu Xiao around, he feels relieved.

But this morning Shen Ci woke up inexplicably. He rubbed his eyes, turned over and was about to go back to sleep when he found that Lu Xiao was not in a good condition.

With a pale face and tightly locked brows, Shen Ci pushed him tentatively. Lu Xiao's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't even speak. The look in his eyes when he looked at him was aloof, which made Shen Ci feel distressed instantly.

Shen Ci, wearing a small apron, set up a small table on the bed and put down the bowl.

One bowl contained white porridge, and the other bowl contained something black and unclear.

Lu Xiao tapped the bowl of unknown object with his fingers and looked at Shen Ci with raised eyebrows.

"Egg custard..." Shen Ci ruffled his hair.

Lu Xiao calmly reached out and picked up the spoon to dig. Shen Ci quickly took it away: "I knew you wanted to eat it... No, no, it will really kill you if you eat it."

Lu Xiao said helplessly, "Then why did you take it?"

Shen Ci said guiltily: "It's just to prove that I stayed in the kitchen for so long and made more than just a bowl of porridge..."

“Even though the result is not good, at least I tried my best.”

Before he could finish his words, he ran off with the ruined egg custard, chomping away, probably throwing it away.

Strange logic... Lu Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and drank the porridge slowly and methodically.

Although it had a bit of a burnt smell and some black residue, Lu Xiao still drank it all up and gave a gentle smile to Shen Ci who was standing beside the bed.

“It’s delicious.”

Shen Ci's eyes suddenly lit up. If he had a tail, it would definitely flutter around for a few times.

He happily cleared the dishes and when he returned to the kitchen he saw half of the porridge left in the pot and took a sip out of it.

"Bah!" He spat it out, frowning and cursing: "What the hell are you doing!"

There was clearly no difference between what Bu Lu did and what Aunt Bai and Aunt Zhou did. Shen Ci was puzzled.

The key is that Lu Xiao actually drank it and said it was "very delicious"...

Lu Xiao is perfect in every way, except that he is too nice to him. In order to make him happy, he has no pressure to lie with his eyes open...

Shen Ci felt guilty and hurried back to get medicine for Lu Xiao. He also diligently massaged the area where Lu Xiao had a headache.

Shen Ci wanted to ask Lu Xiao if he felt comfortable, but after thinking for a while he shut up. He would probably just hear "very comfortable".

Lu Xiao is simply a praise machine. But in a previous interview with a financial magazine, Lu Xiao clearly said that his job requirements are very high and he has a tendency to be a perfectionist...

A big question mark of confusion appeared above Shen Xiaogou's head.

***

With dark circles under his eyes, Brother Zhang handed the still-warm copy to the public relations staff at Yunxiao headquarters.

"Good morning. Here's the public opinion analysis of President Lu's announcement of his pursuit last night. The situation is not bad."

The head office's public relations director was a capable short-haired woman. She didn't even have time to sit down. After taking the letter, she pursed her lips and carefully checked the data.

"It's unexpected that most users with the tag 'Shen Ci fans' are supportive." The director raised his beautifully trimmed eyebrows.

Brother Zhang didn't sleep well the whole night. He rubbed his brows to relieve his headache. "Yeah, it might be related to the video of General Lu saving Xiaoci. I monitored the data all night last night. There was no big problem with Xiaoci, but General Lu..."

The director looked calm: "President Lu has already told us to handle it calmly."

Zhang Ge's mouth twitched: "Then why are you here so early in the morning?"

Director: "Mr. Lu said he would contact you the next day to confirm whether this incident has any negative impact on Shen Ci, so that we can carry out public relations work later."

Brother Zhang: “…” So your boss has given up on you, right?

He was speechless. After looking through the data records from last night, the director left after being polite.

Things were almost settled, and Brother Zhang finally relaxed. He pulled out the massage chair and wanted to lie down and take a nap, but he closed his eyes and opened them again with a sigh.

"I don't know what the little fool is thinking... Stop losing your temper." He muttered and dialed Shen Ci's number.

"Hello?" The voice was deep and mellow. It was Lu Xiao.

"..." Brother Zhang was not surprised: "Mr. Lu, is Xiaoci here?"

"Asleep." Lu Xiao said concisely.

Zhang's eyelids twitched. Why did Lu Xiao's voice sound a little hoarse? Could it be that he did some exercise so early in the morning and made the child tired?

When Lu Xiao said that he would be responsible for living in Shen Ci's house and picking him up from school, Brother Zhang felt that something must have happened, and he really walked into the tiger's mouth.

Where's the pursuit you promised? Why did you just hit a home run?

"He still has classes today, right?" Brother Zhang held his forehead, trying to remind Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao said calmly: "I've asked for leave."

"..."Brother Zhang stood up, opened the window, and lit a cigarette in frustration.

"Has the head office come to collect the civic report?"

Brother Zhang responded while blowing out smoke rings and gave him a brief introduction to the situation. He could vaguely hear a familiar humming sound coming from the other end of the phone.

Shen Ci dazedly tugged at Lu Xiao's arm, "Uncle... go to sleep and don't make phone calls."

Lu Xiao pulled the man into his arms, pecked his white eyebrows, and put the phone to his ear: "Brother Zhang called you."

Shen Ci lazily snuggled into Lu Xiao's arms and casually greeted Brother Zhang.

"Ancestor, are you still able to sleep? I really worried about you for nothing." Brother Zhang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Shen Ci closed his eyes lazily and muttered, "What's there to worry about? I'm not the one who's sick..."

Seeing that Lu Xiao was still not sleepy, Shen Ci crawled into the quilt and said he wanted to coax him to sleep.

As a result, within a few minutes, Shen Ci fell into a deep sleep, so how could he care about coaxing Lu Xiao?

"You're stupid..." Brother Zhang complained in a low voice. He guessed that Shen Ci hadn't read the news at all, so he had to explain it to him again.

"Huh?! It was broadcast last night? I had completely forgotten about it!" Shen Ci suddenly came to his senses and sat up.

Zhang Ge smiled and said, "You can even forget this. You really live up to the name of 'vase'. Your fans' response is good. Go and see for yourself."

After Brother Zhang hung up the phone, Shen Ci immediately looked at the trending searches. "President Yunxiao pursues Shen Ci" was firmly ranked first, and Shen Ci's mouth twitched.

His Weibo account was @ed countless times, and Shen Ci was glad that he turned off the private message function, otherwise his account would have exploded.

"It's all my uncle's fault." Shen Ci glared at Lu Xiao and complained, "It was suddenly made public without consulting me... My uncle will definitely be scolded by my fans, and I will lose a lot of fans, ah..."

Lu Xiao pinched the soft flesh on Shen Ci's cheek and smiled gently: "No, it's just my one-sided pursuit."

How could it not be... Shen Ci glared at him. There were many lessons from the predecessors.

Oh, it’s Buddha.

Since he promised Lu Xiao last night, this day would come sooner or later.

The sooner you die, the better. Shen Ci took a deep breath and clicked on the trending search, and began to think about what to do after losing his job.

"This candy is killing me! Deer God girls, get up and celebrate the New Year!"

"As a mommy fan, I was against it at first, but after watching the video of Lu Xiao carrying a baby covered in blood... I was really attracted to him. He protected the baby so well that I burst into tears."

"Lu Xiao is a bit of a flirt. Normally, people would just keep her as a baby... but he even specifically said he wanted to 'pursue' her. He looks like a spoiled child. It's so sweet."

"Huh? Just pursuing her? I thought they were so close, they must have been together for a long time! [Picture][Picture]..."

"Oh, mommy fans + face fans have nothing to fear! Even if we really talk about it, it's okay, as long as we continue to run the business!"

“…”

It is hard to believe that Shen Ci continues to decline: ???

"So friendly..." Shen Ci was stunned. The number of fans on the account did decrease, but the change was minimal.

Lu Xiao regained some strength, propped himself up and sat up, stretching out his long arms.

Shen Ci leaned against Lu Xiao's collarbone, looked up at him with starry eyes, and smiled: "Uncle, my fans are quite supportive, it's amazing."

Lu Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, his voice low and gentle: "Yes..."

The two of them were too close to each other, their warm breaths lingering on one another. Shen Ci blinked in daze, his heart beating faster and faster.

How come Lu Xiao is getting more and more handsome? Shen Ci is a little afraid to look at him.

Shen Ci leaned over and kissed Lu Xiao on the lips, then quickly lowered his head and buried it in his chest, hugging Lu Xiao tightly with his arms.

He had a vague expectation in his heart, but Lu Xiao was hesitant to take any action.

Shen Ci blinked in confusion.

"What Xiaoci said last night..." Lu Xiao's chest trembled slightly: "Can you say it again?"

No wonder Lu Xiao didn’t catch me and kiss me again, it turns out he was thinking about this.

Shen Ci blushed and whispered, "It's so embarrassing to say those things in broad daylight..."

There seemed to be a chuckle from above my head, and a few kisses were imprinted on the swirl of my hair.

Shen Ci pursed his lips and smiled, waiting for Lu Xiao to say something, but he stopped talking and just hugged Shen Ci quietly.

Looking up secretly, Shen Ci found that he was staring out the window in a daze, and there seemed to be some fatigue in his calm and deep eyes.

Is my uncle angry?

Shen Ci climbed up, took the initiative to touch Lu Xiao's lips, and moved in and moved awkwardly. Lu Xiao closed his eyes, responded gently and submissively, and soon he became the host.

Maybe it’s because of illness… Shen Ci thought dazedly, and put a little more force on the hand that was holding Lu Xiao’s neck.

***

After lunch, Lu Xiao took a nap holding Shen Ci in his arms. He felt better, at least his dizziness was gone.

"Thanks to the baby for taking care of me." Lu Xiao smiled gently and buttoned up his shirt.

Shen Ci lay on the bed, hugging a pillow, his thin legs dangling boredly in the air, shining white.

"But you still have to go to work." Shen Ci turned his head and said in a muffled voice: "My voice is still hoarse."

Lu Xiao lowered his head and gently touched his forehead: "Baby, one kiss will make you silent."

The slight melancholy before the nap disappeared without a trace, and the gentle smile on Lu Xiao's lips was unbroken.

The shirt was buttoned up to the top without any care. Lu Xiao's handsome and dignified appearance fascinated Shen Ci so much that he turned around, held Lu Xiao's face, and sucked hard several times, making a "chirp" sound.

Lu Xiao laughed: "You are only meeting one client. Can you come back to accompany the baby after meeting him?"

Shen Ci smiled brightly and beautifully: "It's settled!"

After driver Lu Xiao arrived, the two kissed each other goodbye and left.

When Shen Ci was lying in bed bored, Min Shoubei called from overseas. Shen Ci answered the call with a trembling heart.

I didn’t go to class today...Is Min Shoubei here to settle the score?

He answered the phone tremblingly, and Min Shoubei's first question was about his leave today.

Shen Ci hesitated, "Yes, it's because my uncle is sick, so I asked for leave to take care of him."

Min Shoubei was silent for a while: "Xiaobao, can't you find a more reliable reason?"

Shen Ci said weakly: "He is really sick..."

Min Shoubei obviously didn't believe this, and Shen Ci was speechless. Could it be that Lu Xiao looked like a god who was immune to all poisons?

Min Shoubei: "Are you too tired? If you think the current course intensity is too high, I can change the script and lower the standard."

Shen Ci was stunned. What was Min Shoubei thinking about?

In order to adapt to his level, do we need to change the script?

He quickly refused: "Of course not, the current course is totally fine."

The father and son argued for a long time, and Shen Ci insisted on maintaining the status quo.

Min Shoubei originally wanted to test Shen Ci's maximum potential through high-standard training. But halfway through the test, Min Shoubei himself began to feel distressed.

When Min Shoubei heard Brother Zhang say he was taking a leave today, his first reaction was that Shen Ci couldn't stand the training anymore, so he called him immediately.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ci was so stubborn, and Min Shoubei could only let him go.

"It just so happens that you've taken a leave today. I'll fly back in the evening and have a family dinner at the Shen's house?" Min Shoubei changed the subject.

It was true that he hadn't been back to the Shen family for a long time and he missed it a lot, so Shen Ci agreed without much thought.

"Then...can my uncle go?" Shen Ci asked carefully.

Min Shoubei was a little unhappy: "It's up to you."

Shen Ci's handsome eyebrows curved immediately: "Thank you, Dad!"

"Okay, I still have work to do here." Min Shoubei's voice was deliberately cold, and he emphasized again: "If you feel tired, remember to tell me. It's not okay to collapse before going into battle!"

Shen Ci was too busy to respond, and Min Shoubei hung up the phone worriedly.

Min Shoubei put down his phone silently. On the phone desktop, Shen Ci's brilliant smile gradually dimmed along with the screen, and finally extinguished completely.

The screenwriter who often collaborated with me took a sip of coffee and asked in confusion, "Old Min, is the leading role really going to your son?"

"He's just a pretty face, and you're just going to let him ruin this white moonlight script? What's the point?"

Min Shoubei said calmly and indifferently: "Because he is my son."

Colleague: “…” No response.

***

In the evening, at Shen's residence.

"Baby, you're finally home, mommy wants a hug!"

As soon as Shen Ci got off the lander, he was embraced by Shen's mother and opened his arms contentedly, "Mom."

Lu Xiao also got out of the car, his suit neatly dressed and full of energy: "Hello, auntie."

Mother Shen looked at Lu Xiao, who was carrying a lot of things in his hands, and smiled a little dazedly: "Ah Xiao, what are you doing..."

"I'm pursuing Xiao Ci," Lu Xiao looked at Shen Ci deeply, "This is my first visit in this capacity, so of course I have to bring some small gifts for my uncle and aunt, as a sign of respect."

Mother Shen responded with a smile on her face, "We should be the ones giving you a gift. Xiaoci is so difficult to please, it's a pity that you like him."

The Shen family suffered a huge shock when they watched the news in the morning.

Fortunately, they had noticed it beforehand and had prepared themselves mentally for a day, so they were now much calmer.

Anyway, Shen Ci is very attached to Lu Xiao, so if they really love each other, then it doesn't matter.

"How can I be difficult to please?" Shen Ci stamped his feet in anger, and both Shen's mother and Lu Xiao laughed.

"Just be coaxed."

Lu Xiao bent down and kissed him, and Shen Ci suddenly became quiet as a chicken. Mother Shen couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

In this way, Lu Xiao has liked Shen Ci since childhood, and Shen Ci also relies on Lu Xiao... She has long been accustomed to the two of them being close.

Shen Bie and Shen's father both left work early, and Min Shoubei soon arrived with Min Song. The two families sat together at a full table, eating and drinking while chatting and laughing.

Shen Ci sternly refused the doting parents' requests to peel shrimps for him and also refused to pick up vegetables for him, wanting to minimize his presence.

In the end, he still became the center of attention. He felt very stressed during the meal, and when the two families were joking, they kept talking in profound terms.

"When Xiaoci was ten years old, he wet his bed. Hahahaha, he hid it behind the bed sheet and cried because of embarrassment."

"This child has been lovable since he was young. When he was in kindergarten, a little girl wanted to kiss him, and he was so scared that he ran home."

"It was the same in junior high school. I had no idea what the girl was hinting at, so I told the teacher about it. Hahaha!"

“…”

Shen Ci: “…” I’m so angry!

Shen Ci felt like he had been stripped to the ground with nothing left on him. He angrily lowered his head and ate his meal, ignoring the parents on both sides.

As everyone chatted, the topic turned to Lu Xiao, and the atmosphere became tense.

Mr. Shen and Min Shoubei kept throwing sharp questions at him. Even Mother Shen and Min Song and Shen Bie pretended not to care and asked in a tactful way. Lu Xiao answered them one by one calmly and spoke elegantly.

Only Shen Ci covered his face silently. What the hell was this thick "meeting the parents" atmosphere?

"By the way, I plan to set a date to hold a formal banquet." After three rounds of drinks, Min Shoubei put down his glass and said, "At least I want to introduce Xiaoci to my old friends. What do you think?"
