Shen Ci just wanted to fool Lu Xiao on the phone, in fact, he just wanted to go back to his rented home and sleep. But Shen Bie took it seriously and wanted to drag Shen Ci home after he finished wrapping the wound.
Shen Ci was anxious. What would happen if he went back to his parents' place? They would definitely use the injury on Shen Ci's hand as an excuse to ask him to avoid cold, spicy food and staying up late... Shen Ci couldn't stand that kind of torture!
Shen Bie: "But you just said it yourself, asking me to take you home."
Shen Ci: “…”
Shen Ci glared at him: "You and I have been wearing the same pants together since we were little and have deceived adults so many times. Now you are pretending to be stupid and talking to me about this?!"
Shen Bie smiled sinisterly: "I'm sorry, Xiaoci, I'm also a hateful adult now."
Shen Ci's resistance was futile and he had to admit defeat.
***
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ci returned home, he was placed under the special supervision of Shen's mother.
Mother Shen asked several aunts in the house to conduct a carpet search of Shen Ci's room and took away all the snacks. At the end, they brought Shen Ci a bowl of porridge and ordered him to drink it.
Mrs. Shen, who was usually amiable and doting on her youngest son, was very tough at this time and forced Shen Ci to follow the path of health preservation. In the past, she would also give Shen Ci the same treatment when he had a fever or a cold.
This is why Shen Ci doesn't want to go home at this time!
The old mother supervised it personally. Shen Ci dared not say anything although he was angry. He drank the bland porridge with a bitter face.
"By the way, Xiaoci, your "No Goodbye" has so much to do with it."
Mother Shen said this out of the blue. Seeing Shen Ci's puzzled look, she simply took out her cell phone and showed it to Shen Ci.
"Here, Xiao Wang showed it to me today."
The headline news clearly read, "Three people were beaten to the point of vomiting blood on the street, and the police came to arrest them. After netizens learned the truth: They deserved it!"
Shen Ci: “…” This title really looks like that of an old marketing account editor.
Reluctantly, he clicked on it and took a quick read. It turned out that these three people were suspected of taking turns to sexually assault an underage girl two years ago and then absconded. The girl suffered from severe mental depression afterwards and attempted suicide many times but failed. The people who beat them were the girl's father and other elders.
Moreover, insiders revealed that these three people were staff members of the "No Goodbye" crew, which immediately attracted greater attention on the Internet. Some extreme fans have even started a human flesh search, determined to find out their true identities to protect their idols.
The names and faces of the three parties involved were all blocked, but after a careful observation, Shen Ci did find them somewhat familiar.
Normally, Shen Ci rarely tries to remember what the unimportant people around him look like. He has no impression of most of the people in the crew, but he thinks these three people look familiar... maybe they often appear in front of him. Shen Ci is too lazy to think about the details.
"The lead actor got into a car accident, a staff member got arrested for rape, and now your hand got burned like this. This is a bit weird..."
"It was all an accident."
Shen Ci didn't hear a few of Mother Shen's mumblings. He responded a few times and then continued to deal with Qingzhou with a bitter and resentful look on his face.
Fortunately, Shen's mother's best friend called him, and Shen Ci waited until she left the room. He immediately went to the bathroom and threw away the remaining half bowl of porridge.
Shen Ci had just sat down with his empty bowl when the No. 2 monitor Shen Bie came over again and solemnly handed over a middle-aged and low-key thermos cup filled with water.
Shen Bie said seriously: "Drink more hot water."
Shen Ci: "...Excuse me, Mr. Shen, why are you laughing?"
Shen Bie finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I, I thought of something funny, hahahahahaha..."
Shen Ci angrily used his intact right hand and a long pillow to beat the man out of the room, but in the end he was forced to drink the hot water in the cup.
“Boom boom boom.”
Shen Ci had been drinking for most of the day, and only drank a third of the hot water in his thermos. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he was so annoyed that he shouted without thinking, "Come in!"
The door was slowly pushed open. Shen Ci looked up and almost choked on the sip of hot water that had just entered his throat.
It seems like he's been having bad luck lately. He's been scared by Lu Xiao so many times!
Lu Xiao closed the door gently with his backhand, still with a gentle smile on his face: "Are you so angry?" He was so angry that even the temper of the young master, who had not been seen for many days, was revealed.
Shen Ci wiped his mouth with tissue paper: "I'm not angry, don't mind it, uncle."
Lu Xiao did not comment, but walked over gracefully and handed Shen Ci a thin wooden box with exquisite carvings: "This is for you."
Shen Ci opened the box curiously: "What is this?"
The delicate pastry with a refreshing fragrance lies quietly in the middle. It is shaped like a cherry blossom, dotted with layers of red velvet and finely chopped nuts, and its sweet fragrance fills the nose.
Shen Ci was immediately attracted. He reached out and picked up a small piece and took a bite. His eyes sparkled. "It must be a snack made by Aunt Qu! I haven't had it for a long time. Aunt Qu's cooking skills are still so good!"
Aunt Qu is the aunt hired by Lu Xiao's family to cook. She used to be a head chef in a Michelin-rated restaurant. Shen Ci is extremely addicted to the desserts she makes.
Shen Ci ate one after another and couldn't stop at all. In the end, Lu Xiao closed the box and forced him to stop.
"Okay, don't eat too much in one go."
Lu Xiao said calmly, stood up and placed the box on top of the two-meter-high bookshelf in the room, lifting it with his long arms with ease.
Shen Ci: “…”
Too cruel. In this position, I guess no one in the family except Lu Xiao is tall enough to take it, especially Shen Ci.
Lu Xiao glanced casually at Shen Ci's left hand, which was wrapped up in a white gauze bandage and placed on his knees under the table, and said, "Xiao Ci, let me take a look at your injured hand."
Shen Ci didn't understand why and stretched it out obediently. Lu Xiao didn't touch it, but just stared at it for a long time with a gloomy look in his eyes.
It was wrapped with seven or eight layers of white gauze, making it bulky and bloated. Shen Ci had no idea what was so good about it.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Xiao suddenly spoke up.
Shen Ci nodded: "Of course it hurts, but the nurse said that if it is treated in time, it will be healed in about two weeks."
Lu Xiao: "Just rest at home for the next two weeks. I have informed the company and will give you a day off. Any announcements that can be postponed will be postponed."
Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was just worrying about what to do with those important notices."
Lu Xiao: "If you are still angry, Bai Ziwei can disappear."
Shen Ci: “…”
He heard something. Lu Xiao just said something terrible in the tone of "what to eat tonight"? !
Shen Ci waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, no, no, no!"
His minor actions as a cannon fodder were indeed incomparable to the real attack of the villain BOSS. Shen Ci was numb, and his brain was working quickly: "Uncle, my minor injury is not worth making such a fuss, right?"
Lu Xiao said calmly: "To prevent future troubles."
Shen Ci: “…”
Shen Ci racked his brains and even wanted to tell Lu Xiao the truth that "the world is a book". But after thinking carefully, if Lu Xiao knew that his mission was to be a villain boss, he might naturally become even more aggressive...
It was too difficult. Shen Ci really didn't know how to persuade Lu Xiao not to cling to the protagonist's halo, so he could only start to rant on the spot: "I don't care! Anyway, you are not allowed to touch Bai Ziwei! I will take it as my bad luck, okay?"
Even if she was mistaken for the White Lotus, Shen Ci was willing to give it a try. After all, not provoking the male protagonist was the most important thing.
Lu Xiao's eyes were dark and he said nothing. Shen Ci screamed in his heart, could he have already done it?
"good."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao agreed readily.
Lu Xiao would not go back on his promise and would definitely do it. Shen Ci still trusted him on this point, so he felt relieved.
***
The next day, Shen Ci was forced to rest at home. He was not allowed to go to work or go out to play. The bodyguards at home stood at all the exits of the house and strictly guarded them.
After only one day of recuperation, Shen Ci already suffered from PTSD from home recuperation and was completely devastated.
Staying at home, with no entertainment other than TV and games, and everyone at home was busy with their own things. Shen Ci had been walking around the house in circles these days out of boredom, and had trampled several patches of lawn.
My parents' hair styles were already too messy and they had nothing to do, so they had to compete with the aunts for work.
After the aunts complained to Shen's mother, more than half a week later, Shen Ci was finally released early!
Shen Ci was so happy to hear the emancipated peasants singing that he immediately ran to his childhood friend's house with the small bottle containing his hair.
***
"Oh my god! This technique is amazing! Give my brother a cappuccino."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Brother Shuo is so good at skateboarding, but he's such a wimp when it comes to playing games!"
"Brother, play with your hands instead of your feet!"
"Anyway, I just came here to see Brother Shuo's handsome face fall apart, hahahahahahaha..."
On the Qinggua live broadcast platform, the live broadcast room ranked first on the hourly chart was filled with laughter and joy, with bullet screens flying by like snowflakes, making it almost impossible to see the live broadcast screen clearly.
But it doesn’t matter, most people come here for the small box in the lower right corner showing the host’s live broadcast.
The anchor is a handsome boy with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his sunny wheat-colored skin adds a sense of wildness. His expression is serious and fierce, as if he has been played badly by the ghost animal area of a certain website.
Wei Shuo, whose fingers were frantically typing away on the keyboard, watched the word "failure" gradually appear on the screen. He angrily slapped the keyboard and said, "This is a crappy game. It's not fun at all!"
The barrage immediately began to swipe like crazy: "Don't give me the keyboard", "What game are you playing? Start live streaming, chatting, singing and dancing", "Brother, stop scolding the game. I want to hear you scold me"...
Wei Shuo took a sip of water and leaned back in his computer chair. He was pleased to see the grand scene in the live broadcast room. Just as he was about to chat with his fans and relax, he heard his upside-down phone buzzing.
He groaned impatiently and muttered, "Who is so blind as to come to see me?"
Wei Shuo picked up the phone without even looking at it, his expression extremely arrogant and asking for a beating: "Hello?"
"Shuo Shuo, I'm at your door! Open the door quickly."
Wei Shuo had a look of astonishment on his face. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID carefully, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
"you……"
He had just said one word when the person on the other end of the phone hung up quickly. Wei Shuo held the phone in his hand with a dazed look on his face.
The barrage of comments had already exploded because of the call he received, and people were guessing the other party's identity on the public screen.
"Brother Shuo seems to be frightened. Did his girlfriend come to check on him?"
"Nonsense, Brother Shuo is my husband! It must be my mother-in-law calling!"
"He's panicking, he's panicking, he's panicking...Husband, say something!"
…
Wei Shuo looked at the rapidly flowing bullet screen, and said anxiously: "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk next time. The little ancestor is already standing outside my door!"
The comments were being posted more and more frequently and crazily, so he simply turned off the live broadcast, took off his headphones, and hurried downstairs to open the door.
Wei Shuo still couldn't figure it out until he opened the door and received the person.
How come Shen Ci, who had had a big fight with him a month ago and had been in a cold war with him ever since, suddenly came here in high spirits?
