But Yunxi's expectations were quickly dashed. Wearing a mask, he borrowed the phone from the housekeeper who cooked at the villa and dialed a number he knew by heart.
In Thinking of the Distant Courtyard, Shao Chongsi was cooking when he felt the vibration in his pocket, so he called Gu Chengyuan.
Gu Chengyuan: "What's wrong?"
Shao Chongsi was chopping vegetables without even wearing an apron. His long legs, encased in a suit, were on full display, and the curves of his legs were both sexy and just right.
Gu Chengyuan for a moment before slowly answering the phone and turning it on speakerphone.
A hurried male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, Chongsi, please help me... I'm in trouble. Please help me, for the sake of saving you before..."
While chopping vegetables, Shao Chongsi said casually and indifferently, "Okay, where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."
Upon hearing Gu Chengyuan's knuckles turned slightly white as he gripped his phone, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Hearing this conversation, he knew it was Yunxi. However, he wasn't entirely sure about Shao Chongsi... after all, Yunxi had probably spent more time with him?
So now he's unsure whether Shao Chongsi will really help him, or if his previous words about torturing Yunxi were just empty talk.
Moreover, Shao Chongsi didn't take any action at all... This makes one wonder if he couldn't bring himself to deal with it.
Yunxi felt much happier after hearing this. He knew Shao Chongsi would help him, and he happily gave him the address and location.
Shao Chongsi also assured him that he wouldn't bring any extra people.
Yunxi was overjoyed. He immediately returned the phone to the cook and happily went back to put on makeup. He was sure Shao Chongsi would come to see him tonight.
Even though they broke up, Shao Chongsi must still have feelings for him, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so readily.
After their call ended, Gu Chengyuan tossed the phone back into Shao Chongsi's pocket and sat down on the sofa without saying a word.
Shao Chongsi: "..." Before he could explain, A-Yuan left. He was still slicing the beef in his hand, and he couldn't just reach out and grab someone.
And A-Yuan must have thought he wasn't doing anything productive. He had promised to torment Yunxi, but he never got a chance to show off because Yunxi offended Chi Yining, Yan Guiyun also needed to perform... so it wasn't his turn at all.
Yunxi had just been released when Li Duo again. Just when he was wondering where to look for her, Yunxi walked right into his trap and finally fell into his hands.
As a result, A-Yuan misunderstood again, but the work at hand could not be stopped.
Shao Chongsi sighed and continued.
After the meal
When Shao Chongsi invited people over for dinner, Gu Chengyuan, showing no emotion whatsoever. As expected of an award-winning actor, there was no desire in his eyes, and he treated the meal as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Don't you have anything to say?
Shao Chongsi finally couldn't help but ask, " A-Yuan, how is it?"
After Gu Chengyuan said softly, "There's room for improvement."
Shao Chongsi: "..." The meaning is still far from complete.
He had some self-doubt, but he felt that eating it himself wasn't bad.
It seems that A-Yuan might really be angry.
He put down his chopsticks and said very seriously, "I know A-Yuan might be angry because of the phone call just now, but please let me explain first, okay?"
Gu Chengyuan, and he looked at him expressionlessly, "Tell me."
Shao Chongsi: "I had someone release some damaging information about me before, right?"
Gu Chengyuan, signaling to continue.
Shao Chongsi: "Before I could provide solid evidence, although I had plenty of evidence at the time, it was nowhere near as effective as what Chi Yining revealed."
