[ Nuomi, I understand why Hu Zhiyuan and the other three came to say goodbye, but why do Le Tianyu and the other three have to tell me before leaving the entertainment industry?]
After putting down his water glass, Shang Shujue glanced at Hu Zhiyuan and the other three. They had already signed with Shangyu and become official actors for the Shangyu. They were saying goodbye to him because he was the one who introduced them to this job.
But it's different with Le Tianyu and the other three. He hasn't done them any favors on the surface, so it feels a bit strange that he's suddenly saying goodbye.
Moreover, saying goodbye is clearly something a junior says to an elder, even though he is mentally old enough to be their elder.
But his current body is only in its twenties, and these guys look about the same age as his body. It's really strange and eerie that they're using farewell phrases like that.
Besides, wasn't he given a script that everyone disliked? Why do they all call him Brother Jue when they see him? He was a big shot in the entertainment industry in his past life, and everyone called him "brother" when they saw him. He's used to it and can't change it overnight.
Now that this thought suddenly came to mind, the sense of eeriness and absurdity intensified. In this world, don't people call Shang Shujue" Young Master Shang"? How did it become like this? Strange.
" Brother Jue, I received a donation yesterday. I called to inquire and found out that you asked your agent to apply for it for me through a charitable foundation."
Le Tianyu heard Shang Shujue's thoughts but remained completely calm. He had already found a reason and had evidence, so he pushed the gift over with a grateful expression.
"I am very grateful. This sum of money may be a bonus for you, but for me, it is a lifeline."
"I have an exam coming up and I need some money as a safety net. Your money gave me a lot of courage, and I'm really grateful."
Le Tianyu paused unconsciously at this point, then removed the bag from the gift box before looking at Shang Shujue and continuing.
"These are farewell gifts I prepared. They're not very expensive, but they're practical. Brother Jue can use them whenever he needs to write something."
After hearing Le Tianyu's sincere explanation, Shang Shujue was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his agent to be so efficient. He was deeply moved and was thinking of transferring money to her as a bonus to make her happy.
"Oh, it's a four-piece set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone! The quality is excellent, I like it, I'll accept this gift."
Shang Shujue opened the gift box and his eyes lit up when he saw the set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone inside.
He could also write calligraphy. He had practiced it before in order to compete with Song Yanqing, but in the end he still lost to Song Yanqing, who had been writing calligraphy since he was a child.
But now that he has such a precious gem, shouldn't he show it off in front of him and redeem himself?
[Hehe~ Song Yanqing loves calligraphy brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones the most. When he wakes up, I'll show them off to him. I have what he doesn't, and he'll definitely be furious. I'll teach him a lesson so he won't dare to compete with me in calligraphy again! Hehehe...]
Everyone:... Brother Jue, are you really a straight man? This...
Upon hearing Shang Shujue's thoughts, Le Tianyu was unsure whether to laugh first or maintain his serious expression. His lips twitched slightly, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
Brother Jue, you really don't treat Mr. Song like an outsider? But... this... this way of interacting... it's not quite the sweet, affectionate kind of relationship I imagined.
" Brother Jue, I'm glad you're happy. I plan to take a plane and leave tomorrow morning. We'll definitely meet again if we have the chance in the future."
As soon as Le Tianyu finished speaking, the other seven people followed suit, presenting gifts one after another to thank Shang Shujue Shang Shujue, who accepted them all.
After they said goodbye and went outside, they realized that Bai Zhiyi had been standing outside for quite some time.
Outside the door, besides Bai Zhiyi, Yu Zeqi, and Xu Jiaqiao, there were also Zhang Yunchen and Jian Yichen.
Zhang Yunchen wanted to check on Shang Shujue, since his previous condition had been quite frightening; he was startled when he rushed in and saw him.
As Shang Shujue's future brother-in-law, it's perfectly normal for Jian Yichen to care about his future brother-in-law, so he came.
There were too many people before, and he couldn't squeeze in. Today, Shang Shujue was resting and taking care of Song Yanqing, so he didn't have a chance either. That's why he came at this time.
May your future be bright and your journey smooth sailing.
Xu Jiaqiao patted Le Tianyu on the shoulder, glanced at the other seven, and then said what he said. The eight of them nodded, hugged him, and then went downstairs to pack their luggage.
"Brother, let's go home together."
At the dormitory entrance, before entering, Zheng Jiaye called out to Zhou Wangqi, causing the man to freeze in place, taking a long time to recover. He turned back to look at her, smiling, his eyes glistening with tears, and a tear silently rolled down his cheek...
Okay, let's go home together.
Seeing the change in the two men's attitude, Hu Zhiyuan and Li Ru couldn't help but sigh with relief. Le Tianyu and the others, who had never heard the four of them gossip before, were very curious.
"So what kind of gossip did you four hear in the car? Why didn't you share it with us? You guys are so unethical π_π"
Hu Zhiyuan and Li Ru exchanged a glance, probably thinking about their future together, and awkwardly looked away. Li Ru then spoke to Le Tianyu, his expression mysterious.
"Such an important matter, of course I can't talk about it."
Le Tianyu and the others:... Hmph ╯^╰ Fine, I won't talk then!
While Shang Shujue was eating barbecue in the dormitory, Xu Jiaqiao and the others came in. As soon as they arrived, they started asking about his health, one after another, so many questions that he couldn't say a word.
"Stop! Stop! I'm perfectly healthy now! I have absolutely no problems. What you're seeing are just old ailments; they'll pass."
Shang Shujue's lips twitched slightly. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he raised his hand to make a stop gesture, interrupting their incessant chatter.
"You brats, you've been talking non-stop since you came in, all of you chattering away. I'll say it first: none of you are anyone here. Just shut up! If you wake Song Yanqing up, I'll beat him up."
As soon as Shang Shujue finished speaking, the group exchanged glances, then remembered that someone was still sleeping on the bed. They scratched the back of their heads somewhat embarrassedly and sat down.
" Brother Jue, are you really alright?"
Zhang Yunchen couldn't help but ask him again. He knew Shang Shujue wouldn't tell them the truth, but they had guessed roughly what had happened. He was probably bearing the consequences of their tragedy.
If Song Yanqing hadn't arrived, he might still be immersed in pain, instead of leisurely chatting and talking with them, or even eating barbecue.
What could possibly be wrong with me?
Shang Shujue answered casually, as if the pain she had endured before had never existed.
"It's late now. Come on, let's finish the barbecue Zhang Zhichen brought back and then go back to sleep. I'm going to bed soon after I finish eating anyway."
This was a clear signal to leave. Seeing that he was no longer the same as before, everyone knew he wouldn't say anything if they stayed any longer. So, after helping them finish the barbecue, they all left.
After Shang Shujue saw the person off, he barricaded the door. The lock had been broken by Song Yanqing and wouldn't be repaired until tomorrow, so he would have to make do with it for today.
"That bastard Song Yanqing has quite the energy..."
Shang Shujue placed the lock on the entryway cabinet, his eyes lowered, his emotions unreadable. But as he turned away, an uncontrollable smile crept onto his lips...
