"Thanks for the medicine you prepared for me last night, bro!" Did a beauty like Bai Chongxuan need to go running too?
Wang Xinyang looked Bai Chongxuan up and down again...
Okay, great, he got it! There wasn't a single person on this show who didn't have a male model's physique!
Wang Xinyang suddenly felt as though his muscles were just for show. Everyone else was more accomplished, richer, better-looking, and fairer-skinned than him.
What did he have going for him? Was he just faster at helping old ladies cross the road?
No, no, no! Sincerity was the ultimate killer move! He was going to rise up!!
Wang Xinyang gradually psyched himself up. As expected of a college student, he gradually overtook the beautiful Bai Chongxuan again.
Seven in the morning.
Gu Chengyuan disliked the breakfast provided by the production team, so he had bought ingredients himself the night before. That morning, he made his own sandwiches and made a serving for Chen Shiyu too.
"Oh, Film Emperor Gu, you're up early!"
Shao Chongsi and Gu Chengyuan were old acquaintances. The law firm he owned had helped Gu Chengyuan handle several legal disputes, so there had been a period when Gu Chengyuan frequently visited their firm.
"Morning, Attorney Shao. How about it? Would you like a serving?" Gu Chengyuan asked politely.
"Thanks, then. Sorry for the trouble, Film Emperor Gu." Shao Chongsi was exceptionally thick-skinned. It wasn't as though he hadn't recognized Gu Chengyuan's offer as mere politeness.
But he simply liked fighting magic with magic. Compared with someone arrogant and unrestrained like Chi Yining, stripping the mask off a hypocrite should be more interesting.
"Sure."
Gu Chengyuan answered with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
As expected of an actor. He was pretty good at putting on an act.
Even Li Qingmi, who suffered from chronic listlessness, had gotten up early. He kept messaging his younger sister on his phone, urging her to get up and study. After putting down the bread in his hand, he went to the fridge to get the imported milk he had stored inside.
He took two bottles and placed one in front of Shao Chongsi, looking after the old man a little.
Shao Chongsi was rather surprised that Li Qingmi was so generous. "Thank you."
Li Qingmi was unconcerned. "Caring for the middle-aged and elderly is a fine tradition of our country."
Shao Chongsi chuckled at that. Before long, his crowdfunded breakfast was ready.
Shao Chongsi said, "Thank you, Film Emperor Gu."
Gu Chengyuan lifted the corners of his mouth without smiling. "You're welcome. Enjoy."
"Actually, Film Emperor Gu, I'm curious. Now that you've seen Chi Yining again, do you regret not accepting his confession back then?" No one expected Shao Chongsi to drop another bombshell, nearly making Li Qingmi spit out the milk he hadn't swallowed.
Sure enough, Shao Chongsi had an exceptionally vicious mouth. Though the way he attacked indiscriminately was begging for a beating, Li Qingmi, an onlooker enjoying the drama, still welcomed it.
Gu Chengyuan had just sat down opposite him when he heard Shao Chongsi's question, leaving him utterly speechless.
"Sorry, but whether back then or now, I've never had any interest in Chi Yining."
"Oh~ really? Let's hope so~" Shao Chongsi didn't care whether there was a trap to be laid; he would dig one for Gu Chengyuan first anyway.
Gu Chengyuan was about to roll his eyes at him. How had Shao Chongsi become a lawyer when he couldn't read the room at all?!
He was so angry that he really wanted to blow up on the spot, but there were cameras everywhere. It was so fucking frustrating.
Gu Chengyuan worked hard to rein in his temper and said nothing more, slowly beginning to eat his breakfast.
A little over half an hour later, Yan Guiyun returned to the little blue house too.
He went upstairs and took a quick, military-style cold shower, then came downstairs to start making breakfast for himself and his kitten.
