Lu Wenxing blinked and looked at Song Jiajia helplessly.
He was signed into Mang Cheng Entertainment and practiced dance with Wei Ze for a few months, the teacher had praised him for his ability to imitate and learn quickly.
Lu Wenxing had also been puzzled, he obviously hadnât learned the dance, but seemed to be particularly familiar with it.
But then he was pulled by Wang Man to take endorsements and print ads, and never took dance lessons again.
Lu Wenxing thought he probably had strong body memory, plus a bit of basic skills, so he beat Wen Min completely by luck.
While Wen Min had been struggling to remember the movements, Lu Wenxing had already rehearsed it several times in his head.
Song Jiajia didnât listen to his explanation, she stood aside with her arms crossed.
âLu Wenxing, I have to tell you a story.â
âOnce upon a time there was a school scum, he asked the school bully how well he did in the midterm exam this time, the school bully replied that he wasnât sure. The school scum was secretly happy because he did well in the exam. When the school scum joyfully held up 95 points, the school bully in the front row had 149 points on the paper.â
Gu Yanshen couldnât help but secretly agree in his heart, just now when Lu Wenxing looked at him, he was a bit overwhelmed. After all, he wasnât willing to dance, and pushed the heavy burden of dancing to Lu Wenxing.
He was clearly a professional.
âWenxing, which boy group are you a member of, you havenât debuted yet, right?â
It was no wonder that Wen Min thought so, although there were no complicated movements in this dance, learning it in few minutes was impossible without some basic skills, Lu Wenxing was good-looking and wasnât too old, the probability of being in a group was high.
In addition to Gu Yanshen, several other people in the room also thought so.
Whether Wen Min or Song Jiajia, the first time they saw Lu Wenxing they were stunned by his looks, when Lu Wenxing debuted he could definitely take a place in the entertainment industry.
However, Lu Wenxing denied their suspicions.
âIâm not a member of a male group.â
Lu Wenxing had heard people ask this question more than once and was used to it, âIâve already debuted, most of my work is based on endorsements and print shoots, this is my first time on screen.â
Song Jiajia looked at Lu Wenxing in surprise, was Lu Wenxingâs agent blind? Such a good-looking face, had only taken ads? Everyone knew that photos could be fine-tuned, as long as the facial features were good, the post-edit would show the most beautiful face.
But Lu Wenxingâs face was already extremely good, to only get print ads? Wasnât that a waste? !
She thankfully patted Lu Wenxingâs shoulder, âFortunately, Brother Shen was wise to see a hidden pearl, your looks on the screen is really too good.â
Lu Wenxing didnât take it seriously, and replied with a smile, âThen I have to thank Mr. Gu. Otherwise, it would be a real pity to miss the opportunity to be on a variety show with Sister Song.â
âPlease, both of you, stop the compliments and consider us who are hungry.â Li Xiangmingâs stomach growled a few times in response, he seemed quite hungry.
âDirector, the competition is over, so isnât it time to go eat dinner?â
âItâs been a hard day for everyone, now let the program teamâs special car driver send you to the nearest food street for dinner.â
On the way back, Song Jiajia still felt incredulous. âIâm surprised the directing team didnât make a small move.â
âYou look sorry?â Li Xiangming couldnât understand Song Jiajiaâs mind.
âYoung man, youâve rarely been on variety shows, right?â Song Jiajia had the tone of an experienced person, âWhen you have gone a few times, youâll know how sinister the directing team is.â
Lu Wenxing quietly agreed with Song Jiajiaâs words, he had never been on a variety show before, but that didnât mean he hadnât seen variety shows.
In order get more viewers, the team digging holes for guests was a common occurrence, the audience was happy to see it, so the ratings would naturally go up.
Anyway, there were thousands of ways to avoid a pit and then fall into the next one.
âWhat are you thinking about?â
As Lu Wenxing was walking, suddenly there was a person beside him, he looked sideways, Wen Yu had started walking next to him at some point.
âWe havenât spoken much yet we are in the same company. I thought I would have a chance to talk to you tonight, but I didnât think there wouldnât be an opportunity.â Wen Yuâs words were tinged with regret.
Lu Wenxingâs eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He thought Wen Yu chose to live with him because he could only choose him. He didnât expect Wen Yu to have this idea from the start.
Lu Wenxing couldnât say what he felt, but he didnât want to have too much contact with Wen Yu, not only because Wen Yu was the protagonist, but also because he couldnât tell.
When he looked up again, Lu Wenxing saw his figure in Wen Yuâs clear eyes, and his eyes were shining with an unclear emotion.
Lu Wenxing suddenly felt his heart jump, as if something had flashed by, which made him unable to catch it.
His head was dizzy and he subconsciously wanted to stay away from Wen Yu.
Lu Wenxing couldnât be blamed for being wary, the entertainment world was a twisted one, and Wen Yu was the protagonist of this world, and the one who indirectly caused the tragic end of âLu Wenxingâ.
Even if Lu Wenxing knew that the person who caused âLu Wenxingâ to end badly wasnât Wen Yu, but his jealous âselfâ.
But Lu Wenxing still didnât want to be in contact with Wen Yu. He wasnât a person who would wrong himself. If he didnât want to, he would stay away.
Perhaps Lu Wenxing was too indifferent, Wen Yu didnât continue to ask questions. He moved a few steps behind and walked with Zhou Zitong.
Lu Wenxing took out his phone from his pocket and clicked on WeChat. The top message was from his brother Xie Chengfei.
[X] Mrs. Lu said you were on a variety show, with Gu Yanshen?
[ET] Hmm. How did you do on your exams?
[X] When have I done badly on exams?
[ET] My bad, I shouldnât have questioned our familyâs college god.
[X] When are you coming home?
ET] Waiting for you so weâll go together.
Lu Wenxing had already terminated his contract with Mang Cheng Entertainment, and wouldnât take other jobs besides this variety show. He wasnât busy, so he took advantage of the winter break to take on a few drawing commissions.
Xie Chengfei was a senior in high school this year. After the final exam, he had to stay in school to make up a missed lesson. Lu Wenxing calculated the time. It was expected that Xie Chengfei would be on holiday by the time he finished the drawing, so they could just go home together.
Lu Wenxing planned it perfectly, but Xie Chengfei immediately guessed his intention.
[X] Did you receive another job?
Lu Wenxing typed with one hand and denied it fast.
[X] How many did you receive?
[XăIâll let Mrs. Lu question you if you donât tell the truth.
Lu Wenxing could only tell the truth. Once his eyes got hurt and he didnât want his family to know about it. But his eyes were wrapped in gauze and he couldnât see, so he answered Mrs. Luâs video call by mistake and was immediately caught in the act.
Mrs. Lu was so frightened by Lu Wenxing that she rushed to the hospital overnight to visit. After that, Mrs. Lu was very concerned about Lu Wenxingâs eyes, and from time to time, she urged him not to overuse his eyes.
After the text was sent, the dialog box showed âthe other is typingâ.
Lu Wenxing looked down and typed the word âconfidentialâ, and before he could send it, his arm was pulled by someone.
Lu Wenxing hadnât yet reacted, but he instantly fell into a warm embrace.
When he looked up, the car that almost hit him was already speeding away, leaving only the sound of the whistling wind.
âDonât look at your phone when crossing the street.â
Gu Yanshenâs lowered voice was directly in Lu Wenxingâs ear.
Lu Wenxing exhaled and took a step back from him, âThank you, Mr. Gu.â
Lu Wenxingâs breath wasnât quite steady, he felt as if he had experienced this scenario before, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldnât recall anything.
âI was scared to death!â
âIt was really dangerous ah! Fortunately, Yanshen reacted quickly.â
âSome drivers pass the crosswalk slowing down, which is a violation of traffic rules. But Wenxing, you didnât do the right thing, even if youâre on the crosswalk, you shouldnât use your phone, itâs too dangerous.â
Not only was Lu Wenxing frightened, but the scene just now made everyone present jumpy, it was good that nothing happened.
âIâm sorry.â Lu Wenxingâs face was bloodless, his heart beating rapidly.
Under the street light, his face was particularly pale, looking closer, Gu Yanshen could even see that Lu Wenxingâs forehead was covered with sweat.
Gu Yanshen didnât hesitate. When he reacted, his hand had already grabbed Wenxingâs shoulder, and his deep voice became soothing.
Their postures looked somewhat intimate, a faint woody fragrance lingered in the air, his beating heart gradually calmed.
After returning to the B&B, several people returned to their rooms carrying suitcases. Lu Wenxing hung up the clothes in his suitcase and specially reserved the other half for Gu Yanshen.
After he finished, Gu Yanshen asked him.
âWill you take a shower first or should I?â
There was only one bathroom, so they had to take turn. But when Gu Yanshen asked, he felt strange, but he didnât bother to figuring it out, his eyes fell on Lu Wenxingâs pale face.
From the way back, Lu Wenxingâs expression wasnât good.
Gu Yanshen didnât understand, it was normal to feel afraid after danger, but Lu Wenxing didnât look frightened.
Perhaps even Lu Wenxing himself didnât realize how bad his expression was, Gu Yanshen raised his eyes again to look at him and said.
âGo ahead and wash up.â
âJust nowâŠthank you.â
Lu Wenxingâs light eyes gazed at Gu Yanshen, he looked indifference and detached. It was very much like a hedgehog that was full of thorns after being frightened or threatened.
Gu Yanshenâs brow wrinkled subconsciously, Lu Wenxing was in a bad mood, but why?
âItâs enough to say thank you once. Take a shower first.â
Lu Wenxing didnât argue, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom. Looking at the closed bathroom door, Gu Yanshenâs thoughts returned to the time when he first met Lu Wenxing.
Lu Wenxing at that time was also indifferent. Unlike the present alienation, he looked nonchalant, and his beautiful eyes were cunning.
He didnât know who Lu Wenxing had been chatting with, or the rumor about his choice of concubines.
He didnât look into Lu Wenxingâs meaning and didnât take it to heart, there were so many people discussing him, it was impossible to pursue everything.
What surprised Gu Yanshen was that after Lu Wenxing was caught, he was able to calmly act as if nothing had happened, and even greeted him without embarrassment.
Gu Yanshen only thought Lu Wenxing was thick-skinned.
However, Lu Wenxing, whom he treated as a thick-skinned person, didnât come over and try to get close to him like the others did, instead he didnât apologise and then suddenly walked away.
Gu Yanshen immediately felt so angry and amused, and somehow he couldnât hold himself back, and said something in return.
His tone wasnât good, but Lu Wenxing probably didnât hear it, he turned around and walked out with a smile.
His attitude was as if he was moving around his territory.
It was just that the chosen location wasnât right.
Gu Yanshenâs thoughts drifted further and further away until the bathroom door was knocked on, âWhatâs wrong?â
âI âŠâŠ forgot to take my bath towel.â Lu Wenxingâs voice came out of the closed bathroom with so much embarrassment.
âWhere did you put it?â
âIn the closet, I hung it up.â
Gu Yanshen didnât notice, but when he heard Lu Wenxingâs normal voice, his hanging heart slightly relaxed.
He pulled open the closet and a pink bath towel crashed into Gu Yanshenâs eyes.
âHave you seen it?â Lu Wenxingâs voice rang out.
Gu Yanshen grabbed the bath towel and walked to the bathroom door, knocking on the door.
The bathroom door was pulled open from the inside, revealing a slit, a long white arm reached out and grabbed twice in mid-air, Gu Yan Shen immediately put the bath towel on Lu Wenxingâs hand and turned away from the bathroom.
Lu Wenxing closed the door, after seeing the pink bath towel handed to him by Gu Yanshen, a blush crept up to Lu Wenxingâs ears, his negative emotions were swept away and instantly replaced by shame and annoyance.
Gu Yanshen must have seen it!
Lu Wenxing was a bit grumpy, Gu Yanshen wouldnât think he had any strange hobbies, right?
This pink bath towel was bought by his roommates, a set of four colors. When Lu Wenxing got his hands on it, his roommates had all chosen, leaving only this pink bath towel.
In order to keep Lu Wenxing from arguing, the roommates repeatedly coaxed him, even the âa real man should be pink and tenderâ nonsense was mentioned.
Seeing his roommates tightly holding the bath towels in their hands, for fear of it being taken away by Lu Wenxing, Lu Wenxing smiled contemptuously and disdained to argue with them.
âIsnât it just pink? A real man wonât be afraid.â
Yesterday, Lu Wenxing rushed to pack his luggage, he casually took the folded bath towel and hastily stuffed it into the suitcase âŠâŠ
Now he was regretting it, he was very regretful.
How did Lu Wenxing make such a low-level mistake after laughing at Wei Ze for not bringing toilet paper? If he was given another chance, he would definitely not make fun of Wei Ze.
Lu Wenxing sighed, having a pink bath towel wasnât scary, what was scary someone finding out that he had a pink bath towel and he was the one who led him to it.
The bath towel in his hand suddenly felt a little hot.
Before pulling open the bathroom door, Lu Wenxing was still immersed in âwill Gu Yanshen think he has a strange fetish?â and âhow to silence Gu Yanshenâ, it repeatedly jumped across his mind.
Gu Yanshen leaned on the sofa and lifted his eyes to look at Lu Wenxing, feeling his gaze, the embarrassment from earlier surfaced again.
He and Gu Yanshen werenât very familiar with each other, so it seemed abrupt to explain. After thinking about it, Lu Wenxing simply ignored the problem, and didnât bother to explain.
Who said men couldnât use pink bath towels?
He just âlikedâ pink, could he not?
Lu Wenxing successfully convinced himself, and indifferently nodded.
Gu Yanshen was keenly aware that Lu Wenxing was angry, but he didnât understand what Lu Wenxing was angry about.
Although Lu Wenxingâs face was taut, the vividness in his eyes couldnât be hidden.
Gu Yanshen felt it was a little funny, it seemed quite amusing to make him angry.
Sure enough, it was right to give way for Wenxing to take a bath first.
After showering, his mood was better, even though he was still angry.
Lu Wenxing put on an uncaring expression, Gu Yanshen also didnât intend to provoke him, he took his clothes into the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, Lu Wenxing was already lying down. His original intention was to play the pet raising game for a while, but Gu Yanshen had to give up.
He turned to the other bed, lifted the quilt and got in.
The tires rubbing against the ground and made a shrill noise, followed by a dull crash.
A five or six year old boy stood frozen in place, his eyes unfocused, his ears buzzing, his violently beating heart disrupted his perception of the outside world.
Before the boy realized what was going on, the sound of the engine starting up sounded again.
The black car flew by, brushing the boyâs side, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. He didnât have time to get up, the black car turned a corner and came at him again.
His heart contracted violently, and even breathing became difficult as he watched the car speeding byâŠ
âLu Wenxing, wake up.â
Lu Wenxing struggled to open his eyelids, a blurry face appeared in front of him, âLu Wenxing, are you okay?â
The cold back of his hand was pressed against Lu Wenxingâs hot forehead.
Lu Wenxing squinted his eyes, not wanting to let the comfortable coolness slip away from him.
He lifted his weak arm, his hot palm faced down and held the other cool palm, making the two palms overlap.
The coolness woke Lu Wenxing up a bit, and he struggled to identify the person in front of him, with deep eyes, a high nose, and thin lips.
It was a good-looking man, Lu Wenxing felt as if he looked familiarâŠ
âItâs me.â The manâs voice was low, he grabbed Lu Wenxingâs outstretched hand and tucked it back into the quilt.
âLu Wenxing, you have a fever.â
