"What's wrong, Brother Chun?"
Hearing the commotion, Xie Jianyuan sat up immediately and reached out to embrace him. He noticed fine beads of sweat on Xie Jianyuan's forehead and his pale face. Upon seeing this Xie Jianyuan's brows furrowed slightly.
"It's nothing, just a nightmare." Xu Chun had calmed down; she didn't know why she dreamt about things from the past.
What nightmare?
Xu Chun shook his head, unwilling to answer. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and seemed lost in thought.
"Who are you thinking about?" Xie Jianyuan pressed his forehead against his and asked in a hoarse voice.
Xu Chun blurted out, "Jiang Xiuyan."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately felt the air pressure around him drop sharply, and a cold atmosphere filled the air.
Before Xie Jianyuan could speak, Xu Chun kissed his tightly pursed lips, smiling as she said, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met someone like you."
Xie Jianyuan was taken aback. Although he didn't understand what Xu Chun was saying, he knew that it was Xu Chun's clumsy attempt at love. The cold aura emanating from him softened considerably.
Don't mention him.
"Mmm." Xu Chun nodded and rolled over to sit on his lap.
The two touched foreheads, looked at each other, and then smiled slightly at the same time.
"Sweetie, go to sleep."
"Good."
Chapter 110 Extra (2)
Under the scorching sun, the intense heat baked the earth, seemingly trying to squeeze out every last drop of moisture from the air; waves of heat could even be seen rolling across the ground.
After getting out of the car, Xu Chun pulled down the brim of his hat. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, looking clean and neat.
"Brother Chun, do you need me to help you carry the watermelon upstairs?" Assistant Xiao Qi asked.
Xu Chun smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need, there's no need for girls to help carry these things."
Xiao Qi smiled again, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, I haven't congratulated Brother Xu on winning Best Actor for his new drama yet."
No one expected that Xu Chun would win the Best Actor in a TV Series award at this year's Golden Jade Awards. Even with his experience and acting skills, the series itself was a low-budget web drama, which was not favored by mainstream professionals. To win the award under such circumstances is enough to show how extraordinary Xu Chun is.
"Did you congratulate your Brother Xie?" Xu Chun teased her, wanting to tease her.
Xie Jianyuan was also nominated for another award for his role as Jiuli. Most importantly, his acting in the drama even overshadowed Xu Chun's performance in several scenes.
This made him realize that talent is indeed something innate, and there was a reason why Xie Jianyuan was able to reach that height in his previous life.
Xiao Qi was taken aback when she heard Xu Chun speak, then smiled shyly.
"I forgot."
Xu Chun deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You can't do that. What if Brother Xie gets angry?"
Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "It's not our Brother Xie, it's yours."
Xu Chun didn't react for a moment, watching helplessly as she got into the car and drove away. When she came to her senses, she could only laugh helplessly.
After returning home, Xu Chun first put down the watermelon, then picked up the white cat at her feet and walked towards Xie Jianyuan and Wei Jiahe, who were playing chess.
When Wei Jiahe saw Xie Jianyuan Xu Chun, she couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly and mutter to herself: This guy has two faces.
Xu Chun asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat watermelon?"
Wei Jiahe was about to speak, but then remembered Xie Jianyuan's cold admonition and, not wanting to disturb their time together, swallowed her words.
I think I'll leave.
Xu Chun didn't insist on keeping him and went to the kitchen to cut a watermelon, with Xie Jianyuan following behind him.
I'm going to see my brother tomorrow.
After so much time has passed, Xu Chun no longer feels as burdened calling Gu Zi" Brother," and their relationship has become much closer.
"Mmm." Xie Jianyuan reached out from behind, wrapped his arms around his waist, and kissed his neck in response.
The Gu family was located in the far suburbs, and it took Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan more than an hour to drive there.
After opening the door and entering, they found the villa empty. Just as they were wondering what was going on, a familiar voice suddenly came from above. Looking up, they saw Gu Yiluo standing lazily at the bottom of the building, wearing a loose bathrobe that revealed a large expanse of pale skin.
"Did Gu Zi send you?"
Xu Chun nodded, then asked, "Where is he now?"
Gu Yiluo pursed his lips. "He'll be out in a bit." After saying that, he slowly walked down.
He was right after all; not long after, Gu Zi came out of the house.
"Xu Chun," he called to Xu Chun, then walked over and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations on winning another award. What reward would you like?"
Xu Chun smiled and said, "No need."
"I'm your older brother, isn't it only right for an older brother to reward his younger brother?" Gu Zi frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.
Xu Chun knew his personality, so she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, what did you call me here for this time?"
Gu Zi said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. I wanted to see you."
Gu Zi always spoke bluntly, but Xie Jianyuan didn't like what he said.
Gu Yiluo clapped his hands with a smile, "What a deep brotherly bond!"
Gu Zi looked over and frowned slightly when she saw his loose bathrobe. Then she stepped forward and carefully tied the bathrobe neatly until she was sure there was nothing exposed before she showed a satisfied expression.
Xu Chun stared at Gu Yiluo's complicated expression, as if she understood something, then smiled, but wisely remained silent.
After dinner, they chatted in the living room for a while. Gu Zi kept asking Xu Chun if she needed advertising opportunities, as he had many brands under his management with undecided spokespeople, which made Xu Chun both amused and exasperated.
Before leaving, Gu Zi suddenly called out to Xu Chun. Xu Chun was taken aback for a moment, then told Xie Jianyuan.
