The moment Pei Hanzhou's voice rang out, Lin Luosang quickly realized that he had touched a real person. He immediately withdrew his hand and asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
The man looked at her silently in the darkness, his eyes speechless and inexplicable.
"Is it weird that I'm sleeping in my own house?"
Provoked by this, Lin Luosang finally woke up. He stood up, turned on the night light, and rubbed his eyes. "You still remember that this is your home."
Pei Hanzhou:?
She continued slowly, "I haven't heard from him for almost a week. I thought we were divorced."
“…”
The man was about to say that he was busy with work, but she suddenly lifted the quilt, didn't listen to him, put on her coat, complained, "I don't know what you're feeling awkward about," and went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and take a shower.
An hour later, when she finished, Lin Luosang came out, wrapped in a towel, to blow dry her hair. The man flipped through a magazine while waiting for her and said calmly, "I heard you had a car accident during the race."
"Yeah," she said, curling her hair and using a hairdryer, "the demo was leaked early, and we don't know which team did it yet."
This forced her to make unbelievable changes to the song, turning the slow song in the demo into a fast one. Fortunately, she escaped danger and managed to keep her ranking.
Lin Luosang nudged his back teeth, feeling the presence of a wisdom tooth stirring. He began to inquire about relevant experiences: "By the way, have you ever had wisdom teeth?"
"Um."
"Did you pull it out?"
Seeing the man nod, she continued to ask, "Did you remove it as soon as it grew out, or did you wait until it became inflamed?"
"I'll pull it out when it grows out, otherwise it'll be troublesome if it gets inflamed. I never wait until the last minute—"
Pei Hanzhou was halfway through his words when he saw her phone screen light up. He had no desire to pry into her privacy, but when he glanced over, he saw an unpleasant name and took a closer look.
Duan Qing: [Are you asleep? I’m Duan Qing.]
The man frowned.
Why did she also note Duan Qing’s cell phone number?
Why is there a note and Duan Qing still has to introduce himself?
Why would Duan Qing send her something like this at this time?
Faced with this text message that sounded like a preview of an affair, President Pei narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt as if the mysterious Arctic Circle and the mountaintops of Alaska appeared before his eyes, as if there was a green light flashing.
He glanced at the time. It was three-thirty in the morning.
There is no normal relationship that would cause messages to be sent at this time.
Lin Luosang was blowing her hair, worrying about the inflammation of her wisdom teeth. When she heard the "senior" who had had his wisdom teeth removed speak, she couldn't help but listen attentively to his reply. Unexpectedly, Pei Hanzhou fell silent halfway through his words.
She urged: "Why don't you just stop talking when the time comes? Why don't you continue?"
"No more talking," the man threw the magazine onto the sofa stiffly, "I'm tired."
Lin Luosang: ???
She was also a little annoyed: "You're tired after just a few words? I usually work until six in the morning and I never see you tired? So you can only enjoy yourself and not others, right?"
Pei Hanzhou, who often enjoys himself until six in the morning: “………………”
"Why wouldn't I let you have fun?" the man asked hoarsely.
"You know it well."
After saying that, Lin Luosang turned on the hair dryer to the maximum. The whistling sound of the wind immediately filled the entire room, and people's voices could hardly be heard.
She had her back to him, and it was obvious that she was too lazy to communicate with him or listen to him anymore.
The atmosphere continued to get tense along the minute hand. Ten minutes later, Lin Luosang finally put down the hair dryer in a huff.
This man always went crazy for no apparent reason. If he was happy, he would tickle you a few times. If he was unhappy, there would be no warning. He would lie on the bed and die peacefully for no reason, refusing to say another word to you.
When Pei Hanzhou got into bed, he heard his wife's new seven-word motto squeezed out from between her teeth:
Bad men are always in trouble.
Pei Hanzhou: “…”
He, who saw the green light, was not so angry, so why did she seem to be so furious?
The man wanted to talk, but she had her back to him the whole time and wore headphones, creating a small space that isolated her from the world and refused to communicate.
He turned sideways and happened to see her phone screen.
Pei Hanzhou then watched online for a full five minutes as his wife used her elegant and talented fingers, which had just had a manicure, to verbally abuse him in a dialogue box without a single curse word but in a very eloquent way.
After expressing herself, she seemed to be relieved a lot, her aura gradually softened, and she even yawned because of sleepiness, but she did not stop and gave a kind like to a Weibo post that said "What's so good about men? We sisters still have to rely on each other."
Just when he was about to pick her up and let her experience the sufferings of the world, the screen on her phone changed.
Someone called in.
What a coincidence, it’s Duan Qing again.
Looking at the green call button on the left side of the interface, Pei Hanzhou felt a little allergic to green tonight.
But Lin Luosang quickly hung up the call.
Duan Qing called again and she hung up again.
Thirty seconds later, Duan Qing's new text message came in: [Why didn't you answer the phone? ]
She didn't reply.
Duan Qing continued, "Nothing special, I just saw you're online on Weibo. I just learned that you posted a post today clarifying the trending search we were on. After thinking about it, I feel like I have to explain that I didn't buy that trending search. I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble."
Lin Luosang took a look at it and deleted the message without even replying, and also added his number to the blacklist.
She did it quickly and efficiently, without any attempt to hide anything. She didn't even look back out of guilt to see if she had been discovered. She was as calm as if she had just received a spam message.
Judging from Duan Qing's tone, which showed no surprise even after being rejected several times, she must have been often ruthless to Duan Qing.
Pei Hanzhou closed his eyes and felt that the summoning green light not far away was slowly disappearing, and the world became quiet.
Lin Luosang looked at Weibo for a while and gradually felt sleepy. He put down his phone and began to fall asleep. Just before he fell asleep, he heard a voice beside his pillow.
"I never wait until the last minute to deal with things. I always plan ahead, so I had all four wisdom teeth removed when I became an adult."
"Two at a time, one side of the upper and lower teeth, leaving the other side for eating."
"Those that haven't fully grown out need surgery and stitches, but those that have grown out don't need stitches and can be removed in seven days."
"The pain will wear off after the anesthesia wears off. If you can't stand it, you can take painkillers."
Lin Luosang's mind wandered for a while, and he found that he started talking about wisdom teeth again.
What kind of psychopath is this man?
But she was too sleepy to argue with him. Her curiosity was satisfied, so she replied with a casual remark: "You are so cruel to yourself. If there is no inflammation, just pull it out."
“People need to have a sense of crisis.”
She didn't know whether she responded or not. Her consciousness was becoming blurred and she was about to be dragged into a dream.
At this time, the man spoke again: "Why did you block him?"
She spoke weakly with a nasal voice, too sleepy to open her eyes: "Who?"
"Duan Qing."
She hummed, "I didn't notice before, I forgot I had his number, and I deleted it from WeChat..."
Suddenly, he woke up again and opened his eyes: "Did you see it?"
Pei Hanzhou was not surprised: "Yes."
She thought about how frantically she'd operated her phone, and felt a little apprehensive: "...How much did you see?"
"all."
Without waiting for her to respond, he continued in a very calm voice, "Including how you said you wanted to study medicine in your next life to mend the huge wound in my brain, use a sponge to absorb all the water in my brain, tattoo a permanent zipper on my mouth, and pull the sheets over my head when I close my eyes peacefully."
Lin Luosang: “…………”
Lin Luosang didn't know how he managed to get through that night smoothly.
But fortunately, I survived until dawn and slept until after nine o'clock.
She turned over and opened her phone, only to receive another urging from Yue Hui: "Sang, check out the leaked audio from yesterday. I still want to find out who did it, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
She put on her headphones and carefully listened to the part that was leaked yesterday. It was indeed a very casual demo and there was no clue at all in it.
The perpetrator did not leave any evidence, not even a single press release to defame him, making it impossible to identify him.
Yue Hui: [After you sent the demo, how many people responded to you?]
Lin Luosang took a screenshot and sent it to him: [Just eight people.]
Yue Hui: [Look, as expected, Ximu didn't reply. I'm not sure what to say. He might have secretly read it but didn't reply. If he had replied, he wouldn't have dared to do such a cruel thing. Wouldn't he have been telling everyone that he stole something?]
Lin Luosang didn't know what to say, but she instinctively felt that Ximu would not do such a thing.
For someone who has her dislike clearly written on her face, if Ximu didn't like her, she would have probably dissed her mercilessly a lot.
Lin Luosang opened the file he had posted in the group chat and flipped through the records boredly, but was suddenly stunned when he heard something -
That’s not right. The drum rhythm here and the audio that pops out...why are they different?
She turned on the computer to confirm her guess.
The leaked audio was the final version of the demo, while what she posted in the group was what she had done the day before, and many parts had not been modified.
So where did this final demo come from?
Lin Luosang left the group and paused slightly after seeing a dialog box on the homepage.
She clicked into the records between herself and Ni Tong, found the audio she sent, and clicked it.
The rhythm of the drums and the duration of the organ perfectly matched the leaked audio. What she sent to Ni Tong happened to be the final version of the demo.
Probably because the first and final versions of the demo were in different folders, and she named them both "Guess Demo", which caused them to get mixed up during the transfer.
When Ni Tong yelled in the group, everyone started to make a fuss, so she posted it without checking it carefully. Unexpectedly, different versions were circulated.
She was certain that she had only sent the final version to Ni Tong. Ni Tong had already listened to her demo and would not download another audio with the same name, so he was unaware of the many differences between the two.
Lin Luosang frowned, then sent a voice message to Yue Hui explaining the situation. Yue Hui was immediately filled with indignation: "Then what are you waiting for? Go find her! I know where she is today. It seems she's right next to the building where 'Audio-Visual Feast' is. She must be negotiating a high-end endorsement. Her agent is even showing off on WeChat Moments."
Lin Luosang is also a straightforward person who likes to make things clear, so he got in the car with Yue Hui.
In the car, Yue Hui showed her Ni Tong's agent's WeChat Moments: [She won first place in this highly-skilled "Audio-Visual Feast" for the first time. I'm so proud of my sweetheart! The prize for taking first place is pretty good! I'll discuss a jewelry endorsement deal later. Wait for my good news [hehe]]
In the last competition, Ni Tong came in first, Xi Mu second, and Lin Luosang third. Because Lin Luosang's three-hour composition hadn't been repeatedly revised and polished, its sophistication wasn't quite up to par, and the dances weren't as polished as expected. However, in just a few hours, he turned those disadvantages into advantages, and his overall performance was so impressive that he was practically deified by the comments and trending searches.
Yue Hui was still arguing with the post, passionately insulting Ni Tong's agent: "This agent is so arrogant! It's such a trivial matter, and he posted such a long post on WeChat Moments. What's so great about endorsing jewelry? He got lucky and won first place, so he's so proud. He has no patience at all. Superficial! Vulgar! So boring!"
While Yue Hui was speaking, Lin Luosang lowered his head and seemed to be looking for something. Soon, when Yue Hui finished speaking, Lin Luosang also handed the phone under his nose.
It was Yue Hui’s own circle of friends, and the latest few posts were exactly—
[Wow!! Lin Luosang composed such a majestic and captivating piece of music in just three hours!! This is what a world-class musician can do!!]
[Alas, two national beverage brands came knocking on my door at the same time. If I accept one, I have to reject the other. I feel a little sad just thinking about it.]
Today is another day to cheer for Lin Luosang! I don’t know how many times he’s been number one. Oh, there are so many firsts that I can’t count them all. If anyone knows, please tell me [grin]]
Every day, I worry about not having the same troubles as others. Other artists are in relationships, passive, and don't work, while my artist is ambitious, talented, and incredibly versatile. There are many feelings I'm destined to never experience. Late at night, happily alone, I inevitably feel a bit lonely. A tear slides down the handsome face of the stunning Lin Luosang's manager.
Seeing Yue Hui's twitching mouth, Lin Luosang rationally explained, "I think, to be exaggerating, Ni Tong's agent can't compare to you."
Yue Hui: “…”
"When I'm scolding others, can you please not interrupt me?"
After an episode involving Ni Tong's agent, the two successfully arrived at Huayujian, where Ni Tong was said to be.
After Yue Hui reported the room number, the waiter smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you are not among the guests in the room. We don't have the right to open the door for you without permission."
Lin Luosang took off his glasses and drank some water. He raised his eyebrows and said to Yue Hui, "Wait at the door. Ask her when she comes out."
The waiter was stunned for a few seconds when he saw her, then quickly approached her with a smile as warm as spring breeze: "Hello, Madam."
Lin Luosang:?
Waiter: "Madam, if you are here looking for someone, we can help you ask."
Following the waiter to the sixth floor, Yue Hui whispered to Lin Luosang, "Could this guy also be under Pei Hanzhou's control?"
"It seems so." Lin Luosang touched his earlobe.
"It seems so?" Yue Hui squinted, "Don't you know anything about the assets and real estate under your husband's name?"
"There's too much for me to understand. It's better to memorize the lyrics than that. I only have seven days to prepare for each song."
"...Okay, you're awesome."
Surprisingly, after the waiter informed them, Ni Tong actually let the two of them in directly.
There was an agent sitting next to Ni Tong, and the man opposite was in his forties and seemed to be the person in charge of the jewelry brand.
Lin Luosang glanced at the desktop: "Are you busy?"
Ni Tong must be in a good mood, as she couldn't suppress the corners of her lips. "We just finished discussing it and were about to sign. Sangsang, what brings you here? Do you want to rest for a while? I have some tea here."
"No, I have something to ask you. Please come out with me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ni Tong's agent rolled his eyes, and the jewelry manager paused for a few seconds before cautiously asking, "What's going on?"
Lin Luosang shrugged: "It's a personal matter, let's talk about it outside."
"No need," Ni Tong sighed. "Let's do it here. It always feels like a scary thing to discuss it outside. My endorsement agent is sitting across from me. You know they're very strict in finding endorsements lately. They only look for people who are well behaved and have good images. I can't let them misunderstand that I've done anything bad. Otherwise, how can they feel at ease to hire me as their endorsement agent?"
It is estimated that Ni Tong let the two of them in because she did not want to leave any impression of having any secrets in front of the sponsors. She wanted to reassure her partners so that they could sign the contract better.
Ni Tong hinted at trying to protect her image, but Lin Luosang lowered his eyes. Seeing that she had requested frankness, he didn't beat around the bush. "Did you send out the demo I sent you earlier?"
Ni Tong blinked her round eyes and smiled brightly: "How is that possible? This kind of thing is not spread outside, and didn't you post it in the group later?"
"Do you think I did that? But there are so many people in the group, and there are so many eyes..."
Ni Tong was trying to cover up her mistake, and she denied leaking the source of the audio right away. However, this only reinforced the fact that she was the instigator.
Lin Luosang said, "But I named the file wrong. The version I sent to the group and the one I sent to you are not the same version. The version that was leaked is yours. I never sent it to anyone else except you."
After these simple words, the room fell into silence.
It was Ni Tong's agent who spoke up first: "Maybe you really sent it to someone else but forgot about it. We are currently discussing cooperation, and it's not nice for you to say this. It's possible that you deliberately snatched our endorsement."
"You're crazy," Yue Hui said, taking two steps forward to refute him directly. "We have seven endorsement deals and are negotiating with a bunch more. We can get rich quick with just a snap of our fingers. So why do you come here in the cold weather to steal your jewelry? Do you think everyone else is as crazy as you?"
Ni Tong coughed awkwardly twice and asked Lin Luosang, "Are you sure you haven't transferred it to anyone else?"
Lin Luosang observed her expression and asked, "If I wasn't sure, why would I come to you now?"
Ni Tong bit her lip in frustration, then said awkwardly, "Maybe I accidentally posted it to another group? But at the time, I must have thought your writing was beautiful, and I just wanted to share your music, with no other thoughts. Those people must have spread it around, and the marketing account was so eager to post it that day. Maybe it was because so many people were searching for your stage during your rehearsal that the popularity increased. Why would I mess with you? It wouldn't do me any good."
What's interesting about the whole thing is that the marketing accounts actually started making small moves on the day she sent the demo to Ni Tong, but they were all small accounts testing the waters and no one noticed. It was only during the few hours when she was rehearsing that the big marketing accounts came out to hype up the news, so many people thought that the news was leaked on the day of her rehearsal, but in fact, the audio source had been leaked long ago.
If it was just a suspicion just now, then after Ni Tong said this, Lin Luosang was completely certain that she was the one behind the whole thing.
After identifying the perpetrator, Lin Luosang felt relieved. He calmly asked her, "How did you know the marketing account started posting the video that day? If my team hadn't spent the entire night searching for the source, I wouldn't have known the marketing account had started posting the video that day."
“…”Ni Tong was speechless.
"Didn't you say you sent it to your friends in the group? Did they spread it?" Lin Luosang gave her another chance. "Let me see the record of what you sent to the group."
"If, as you say, they were the ones who passed it on, then the records you passed on should have been released before the marketing account exposed it, right?"
Regardless of whether there is any record of Ni Tong sending it out, even if she did, if the sending time was after the marketing account was exposed, it would happen to prove that she was inconsistent and lying.
Every word Lin Luosang said hit the nail on the head. Ni Tong was speechless for a moment. Not only was she speechless, but her entire face also changed. She turned red and white. She was embarrassed and unable to justify herself. She almost knocked over the water cup.
The person in charge of jewelry understood the situation immediately when he saw it. It turned out that the hot search yesterday was actually a little trick of Ni Tong. The contract was almost signed. Recently, many brands have been in trouble because of negative news about their spokespersons, which also damaged the brand image. Therefore, no brand dares to use artists who have been messing around. He almost pushed himself into the fire!
Damn, luckily Lin Luosang came and stopped me from going too far.
The person in charge hurriedly tried to take the contract back, but was suddenly held down by Ni Tong's agent, "This one hasn't been signed yet, dear."
The person in charge was sweating profusely, his face full of reluctance, almost having the slogan "Who dares to use artists with bad records" typed out and taped to his chest: "I'll go back and discuss it. As you know, the situation has been tense lately. If we want to increase sales, everyone is looking for well-known anchors. They have the strongest ability to bring goods in the industry. Looking for a spokesperson is definitely for the sake of brand image. I really don't dare to take such a risk."
"We're exactly the kind of artists with positive personalities you're looking for!" Seeing that after such a long negotiation, the other party just walked away without hesitation, Ni Tong's agent couldn't help but feel a little irritated. However, he suppressed his temper and patiently explained gently, "Although we're relatively new, your looks and screen presence are impeccable, and they perfectly fit the brand positioning. Besides, we've been talking for three months, so suddenly walking away... wouldn't be nice."
"But you—" The person in charge glanced at Lin Luosang and Ni Tong and sighed, "Even a fool can see what's going on. The evidence is all here, and you, the artists, have nothing to say. And you're still trying to make excuses in front of me. Aren't you looking down on my intelligence?"
The person in charge really felt that his IQ was insulted, and the other party even wanted to crush his logical thinking.
After being teased and pestered, he suddenly lost his temper: "If you did it, just admit it. No one forced you to do it. If you dared to do it, you should have thought about the variables that would occur after the matter was exposed. This is a double-faced person. It's really ugly, big sister."
Being called "Big Sister" and hearing such harsh words, Ni Tong's agent had already clenched her fists under the table with anger, and her veins were bulging. But she was reluctant to give up this piece of cake, so she had to smile and flatter him: "We are also cooperating with you. It's because you want to see high popularity that we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Doesn't this show the sincerity of our cooperation? This will definitely not happen in the future. I can definitely resolve today's matter. After that, all traces will be cleaned up cleanly. I guarantee that there will be no hidden dangers. You can rest assured about this."
Person in charge: "Do you promise? Are you confident?"
"Of course I did. I cleaned it up absolutely. I never drag my feet when doing things. I'm very decisive." Ni Tong's agent thought that he had finally saved the situation and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The next second, he was met with an even more decisive rejection: "You seem to be very experienced in cleaning up other people's butts. You've done this a lot, haven't you?"
broker:"……"
"Since they're all repeat offenders, there's no way I'd sign it. Damn it, you really take me for an idiot! I saw the cracks next to the mirror, and you asked me to buy it back. Why should I bear the risk of it breaking for you?"
"It's not easy to make a living, and I also have to keep my job." said the person in charge.
Ni Tong's agent was almost exhausted, but he still tried to find a way to persuade her: "Yes, making a living is really not easy. You must have worked hard to come all this way. The higher-ups have already tacitly agreed to be the spokesperson. It would be hard for you to explain it if it suddenly falls through, right?"
The person in charge of the jewelry endorsement nodded vigorously: "That's true."
Then he turned to Lin Luosang and said, "Ms. Luosang, have you accepted any jewelry endorsements? If not, why not consider us? We offer good prices, and we have a lot of follow-up publicity. We can cooperate with your team's ideas to carry out the promotion and marketing."
"Actually, when we had our previous meeting, Luosang was already on the shortlist: beautiful, well-groomed, and with a good temperament, she's motivated and positive, with no shady history at all. It's a shame we haven't had time to contact her yet. Today is such a great opportunity, we definitely have to talk."
The situation changed at the speed of light. The person in charge happily extended an olive branch to Lin Luosang. His impatient tone was replaced by flattery, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.
Poor Ni Tong, who was still hoping for a chance of winning, and her agent were dumbfounded.
Yue Hui jumped out at this time, and said with a big head, "We can talk about it. But another jeweler has contacted us recently, so let's reconsider it."
"Okay, that's fine, we can talk about it! We can definitely offer a better price than them! By the way, who is the other company? Can you tell us? We can definitely get it..."
"Okay, let's go out and talk. I'm a little hungry now."
"Then let's go eat. It's my treat. Miss Luosang can come too. I heard the food at Quanpin Pavilion is pretty good."
"Then... let's go?"
"Walk!"
…………
The jewelry manager left without mercy, and Ni Tong and her agent were slapped in the face by reality. Their dream of becoming a high-end endorsement was shattered and they couldn't even get any promotion.
After all the scheming, he didn't gain any benefits and even ruined an endorsement that originally had some chance of success. It was like being hit on the head by the ball he threw himself.
The endorsement that was about to be won suddenly went to the rival company, and they had been negotiating for nearly three months and were still one step away. When it was Lin Luosang's turn, it was the sponsor who begged her, and Yue Hui was so arrogant that she didn't get angry, and even tried to curry favor with her and even treated her to a meal?
Ni Tong's manager was instantly furious. The temper he had suppressed for so long suddenly turned into a slap across Ni Tong's face. "How could I have been so foolish as to listen to you back then? You really... only give us such bad advice! The endorsements we've been promised have gone to our competitors. Ni Tong, do you have a grudge against me? It's so unlucky!"
"You know all my hard work was for nothing? Do you know how much effort I put into this endorsement? It's gone just like that, so what was all my begging for?!"
Immediately afterwards, another crisp slap sound echoed in the room.
Unfortunately, no matter what, there is no way to change the financial backer's mind.
Soon the dinner was over, and Lin Luosang and Yue Hui got on the car for the return trip.
Yue Hui's eloquence is really amazing. He negotiated the cooperation while eating within an hour. Not only is his endorsement fee three times that of Ni Tong, but he also jumped from the spokesperson of a certain line to the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region. I don't know how much the status of his title has been improved.
"This is awesome! I came here to ask about a leaked audio source, and someone actually gave me a high-level endorsement. Do you know how long it takes for people to get rid of this kind of endorsement? Damn, they must be pissed." In the car, Yue Hui happily took credit for it. "Well, you look thoughtful, so just say whatever you want to say! It's not like I can't accept compliments, hehe."
"I just feel..."
"Um!"
Facing Yue Hui's expectant eyes, she said, "Sometimes it's really important for people to be conscienceless, especially in the agent business."
Just now, Yue Hui praised her to the utmost at the dinner table, praising her to the skies. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in her tracks and slowly leave.
Yue Hui: “…”
"Is that bragging? I'm just embellishing your future a bit. Besides, if I'm wrong about anything, you're the most commercially valuable person on the show! If anyone disagrees, let's battle them in various metrics. If they lose, I'll kneel down and call them daddy."
"Besides! Conscience? Is conscience important? Can conscience be eaten? Hey, rich people like you can't understand the vicissitudes of life, so I won't force you."
As Yue Hui chattered, Lin Luosang indeed deeply agreed with a certain sentence and remembered the worth of her unscrupulous capitalist husband.
It seems that many times, people really don't need a conscience.
As a result, the unscrupulous capitalist came to her bedside that night and showed her in all aspects that he had no conscience, not only in business.
As soon as he turned her over, Lin Luosang screamed, "No, no, no, it hurts."
Pei Hanzhou thought she was just starting to make a fuss again, and his crow-feather eyelashes trembled: "I haven't started yet, where are you hurt?"
"toothache."
She covered the left side of her cheek, "It just pressed on my inflamed wisdom tooth."
Pei Hanzhou: “…”
The man whispered a warning, "You better be."
"Do I need to lie to you about this? What good would it do me to lie to you?" She flattened her lips and began to gasp for air. "It's been hurting on and off for almost two or three weeks now. I've been waiting for it to heal on its own."
The man glanced at her ridiculously and forced an angry laugh. "You're not taking medicine or going to the hospital, just waiting for it to heal on its own. Why don't you turn on the computer and wait for the song to finish itself?"
Lin Luosang: “…”
So the next morning, Pei Hanzhou, worried that the toothache would affect the quality of his and her married life, quickly took her to the hospital to have the tooth extracted.
She was very resistant at first: "My face will be swollen after having a tooth pulled. Do you want me to perform on stage like a steamed bun next time?"
"Do you want to get a toothache and lose your expression mid-singing in the middle of a high note next time?"
Lin Luosang was silent for a while.
"Okay, I'll pull it out."
So from then on, she was like a small speaker recorded into the replay system, buzzing in his ears all the way, asking all kinds of meaningless questions.
"Is the anesthetic needle thick? Does it hurt when it's injected?"
"How long did it take you to extract the tooth? Was it difficult?"
"Will there be heavy bleeding? Will I be unable to sleep at night?"
…
“Is the dentist handsome?”
The man closed the book in frustration and said, "You might as well shut up and get used to the life you're about to have."
"You won't be able to talk after you pull it out, right?" She said with a determined look, "Then I have to say it all now."
“…”
From then on until the anesthesia was administered, she continued to output tirelessly.
After taking the X-ray, the male doctor praised me, "Your wisdom teeth are growing very straight."
She smiled and put her hands behind her back, "Yeah, just like me."
Pei Hanzhou:?
The man reached out and pulled her behind him. "What good news is there today?"
He had discovered that as long as she was in a good mood, she would talk more.
"Nothing," Lin Luosang, who had just secured a high-quality endorsement, replied nonchalantly and warmly, "I'm just happy to see you."
…
Before Lin Luosang, who was about to lie down and be pulled out, began to look warily at the man standing beside him with his hands in his pockets: "Aren't you going out?"
The doctor first explained for Pei Hanzhou: "You can come and see if you want. Just stand far away and don't disturb us."
Lin Luosang refused without a second thought: "No, it will look ugly if I open my mouth wide."
The anesthetist smiled as she put on her gloves and said, understandingly, "You're worried about ruining your image in your husband's heart, right?"
"No, I'm afraid he'll take some secret photos and post them online."
“…”
So, just as the nurses outside were discussing "Mr. Pei is so considerate that he even accompanies his wife to have a tooth pulled", they heard a voice urging "Hurry up" and the man was driven out of the room.
Nurses: ...? ?
Ten minutes later, Lin Luosang, who had finished extracting his tooth, finally walked out of the room with a piece of gauze in his mouth to stop bleeding.
She held her left cheek, trying to hide the outline of what might be swelling from the extraction.
However, the man just glanced at her calmly, then calmly grabbed her wrist and said, "Let me see if it's swollen."
The man's gaze was quite sincere, and for some reason she had the illusion that he wouldn't laugh at her even if she got swollen, so she slowly lowered her arm following his strength.
"It's okay," he murmured. "It shouldn't be too noticeable when I go on stage in a couple of days."
Before she could relax, the man raised his phone smoothly and naturally, his expression still showing a lazy calmness, so she forgot to stop him until he pointed the camera at her.
The man pressed the camera button, took two photos, and then put his phone away with an increasingly righteous look on his face.
Lin Luosang reacted:???
Because she was biting the gauze, she couldn't speak. She could only mumble a few unclear syllables through her teeth and waved her fist, signaling him to delete it immediately if he knew what was good for him.

Then, not surprisingly, he received three consecutive punches from Lin Luosang, each of which hit the flesh fiercely. He kindly reminded him, "Exerting too much force will cause bleeding. Don't do strenuous exercise."
She said something with increasing anger. Although he couldn't hear clearly, the man was sure that she was scolding him.
Half an hour later, Lin Luosang spit out the cotton ball for stopping bleeding, but the lower half of his face was still numb, and it was not until the evening that it eased slightly.
After the anesthetic wore off, the wound began to ache slightly. Before going to bed, she took a painkiller and covered herself with ice under the quilt.
The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the face and reputation cannot be lost.
After applying the ice, Lin Luosang, a patient who had lost too much blood, planned to lie down and go to bed early.
As soon as she lay down, she saw the man's profile as he read calmly. The scene of being ridiculed just now was still lingering in her mind. In order to get revenge, she didn't intend to let him have an easy time.
Why does he look like a gentleman?
