Xu Chun found it hard to understand. "Then what about their schooling?"
Xie Jianyuan seemed uninterested in the topic, but upon hearing Xu Chun's question, he patiently explained, "We've always had a private tutor."
Xu Chun: "..." Poverty blinded him.
He then asked, "What kind of person is Gu Yiluo?"
Xie Jianyuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "It's hard to describe. If I had to say, I could only say that he's a person with a very strange temper."
He paused, then smiled and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in the Gu family's affairs, Brother Chun?"
Xu Chun paused for a moment, then said, "It's just curiosity."
Xie Jianyuan raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and remained silent.
Since Xie Jianyuan accidentally destroyed her contact information, Xu Chun had a legitimate excuse not to contact Gu Zi. A week later, Xu Chun had completely forgotten about the matter.
He is currently busy with filming for the movie "Unexpected Joy," which is nearing completion. Today's shoot is of scenes set in the school.
Xu Chun looked down at her script, adjusting her state of mind. Then, when Director Chu announced "action," the atmosphere on the entire set changed.
In the school's sports equipment storage room, a person was huddled in a corner, a place that should have been empty on weekdays. He was curled up on his side, his forehead covered in fine beads of cold sweat. It was pitch black all around. He wanted to turn on the light, but he didn't dare to move at all. In the darkness, he was even afraid to breathe.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but in his dazed state, Chen Mu seemed to hear someone calling his name. He woke up with a start and opened his eyes, only to find complete darkness.
"Chen Mu!"
Just as Chen Mu was feeling disappointed, the voice rang out again. This time, he was certain he wasn't hallucinating; it was Cheng Du's voice.
"Bang!" A series of violent slamming sounds suddenly rang out from the roller shutter door, and the owner of the sound seemed extremely irritable.
"Can you fucking hurry up? What are you doing with your hands trembling like that?" Cheng Du kicked the door again impatiently, his tone cold.
After hearing his voice, Chen Mu felt less afraid.
"Degree..."
He crept over and lay down behind the door, only a door separating him from the person outside. He called out softly.
"... Could you please come in quickly? I'm scared..." he said, his voice trembling with fear as he finished speaking.
There was a moment of silence outside the door, then Cheng Du kicked the door in a fit of anger, saying in a cold tone, "Didn't you hear me? I fucking told you to hurry up!"
Two or three minutes later, the door was finally opened, and Chen Mu was pulled into the arms of the person outside. Suddenly exposed to the glaring sunlight, Chen Mu's eyes stung and he squinted uncomfortably.
Chen Mu took off his school uniform jacket and put it over Cheng Du's head. Although it was dark again, he felt very safe, perhaps because Cheng Du was by his side.
Chen Mu didn't know what Chen Mu had said to that person again, but he recognized the voice as belonging to one of the classmates who had locked him in the warehouse.
"Get lost, I'll deal with you later," Cheng Du said with a gloomy face.
Then there was silence; the classmate must have run away.
"Can we lift it now?"
Chen Mu nodded, feeling that he was now mentally prepared. He closed his eyes and felt his coat gradually move away. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the discomfort brought by the sudden light.
After another three or four seconds, once he had adjusted, he slowly opened his eyes, and Cheng Du's handsome face was the first thing he saw.
Seeing that he was alright, Cheng Du was relieved and even joked, "Don't we look like we're lifting a red veil?"
Chen Mu gradually turned red.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Cheng Du couldn't help but smile, but after laughing, he seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly darkened. He said coldly, "I think they didn't understand me today, which is why they dared to cause you trouble. It seems it's time to teach them a good lesson."
He paused, then glanced at Chen Mu again. "Tell me, why did you come here? Can't you see through such an obvious trick?"
Chen Mu pursed his lips and remained silent.
He clicked his tongue impatiently. "Are you mute? I'm asking you a question. If you don't speak, I'm leaving you here."
Chen Mu quickly gripped his sleeve tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "... Someone delivered a love letter to me and asked me to come here to meet them."
Cheng Du grinned, but there was no hint of amusement in his dark eyes.
So you came?
Xu Chun hesitated for a moment, then nodded cautiously.
Chapter 71 Award Ceremony
Cheng Du's expression turned cold, and he gently pinched Cheng Du's chin.
"Someone else showed you kindness, so you rushed over, is that right?"
Chen Mu shook his head, his face pale, and stammered, "... No."
It was the first time he had received a love letter from someone, and he was a little taken aback by such a direct expression of affection. However, after calming down, he decided to meet the person in person, since he needed to say the rejection himself.
But little did they know it was just a prank.
Cheng Chen Mu's cheek, grinned, and said, "What? You really thought someone would send you love letters?"
Chen Mu shook his head frantically, denying in a trembling voice, "... I didn't."
Cheng Du looked at him and said, word by word, "You really are stupid, so stupid that you've been completely fooled."
He seemed to be in a very bad mood. After speaking, he grabbed Chen Mu and walked towards the teaching building. When they arrived at the classroom on the fourth floor, he kicked open the classroom door.
The loud "bang" startled the students in the classroom, who all turned to look at the door. There, Cheng Du, his face cold, coldly demanded, "Who invited Chen Mu out?"
