Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Bai Muchuan ca out, he was wiping his hair dry.
Under the warm, orange light, Xiang Wan was busy tapping on the keyboard.
Bai Muchuan stood behind her for a mont. But she was totally oblivious to the surrounding, imrsed in her own world.
He gave a sigh and took a bottle of mineral water for boiling. Monts later, he poured a glass of hot water and placed it on the edge of her table.
“It’s too hot for now. Drink it after it cooled down a little.”
Xiang Wan reacted after hearing his voice.
She looked up at him, her eyes smiling. “Thank you, darling!”
Hur! What a sweet tongue.
Bai Muchuan laughed and patted her head. “Do your best!”
“Yes.” Xiang Wan held his hand. “So, I’ll get back to writing now?”
“Go ahead. I’ll go over to Laowu’s room.”
“Okay.”
That was 10:00 p.m. at night.
For him, it seed to be rather early to rest for the day.
Moreover, they had a mission tomorrow. Xiang Wan had guessed that they might need to discuss more on the mission which she was not convenient to be a part of it, so she might as well work on her story.
...
Bai Muchuan changed into so casual wear and took a look at the woman whose eyes were focused on the laptop in front of her. He did not interrupt her and left the room quietly.
As soon as he closed the door, he saw Quan Shaoteng who also happened to co out of his room.
The two of them t each other’s glance.
“Where are you doing?” Quan Shaoteng chuckled. “Your girlfriend’s sleeping?”
“She’s busy with her work.” Bai Muchuan lifted an eyebrow. “Where are you going?”
“Where else can I go? Isn’t there a foot spa on the second floor? I want to soak my feet and relax.”
Previously, Bai Muchuan and his team had already co up with rules that during their trip to Nanmu, they must not leave the team without permission, nor could they leave the hotel without a good reason.
However, having leisure activities within the hotel was not part of the rules.
Bai Muchuan scoffed at him. “This is the Young Master Syndro!”
“Well, I’ve nothing to do?” Quan Shaoteng sneered, his gaze felt like knives. “If not for you, would this young master co all the way from the Capital to this terrible place and endure hardships?”
“So?” Both of Bai Muchuan’s hands were in his pockets as he laughed indolently as if he was waiting to hear more complaints.
“Of course, you need to accompany there!” Quan Shaoteng imdiately pulled him along. “Just co!”
...
Prior to taking the elevator, Bai Muchuan sent a ssage to Xiang Wan.
“Our next-door neighbor, Laowu, invited for a foot spa on the second floor. Let know when you’re done.”
Xiang Wan’s reply ca in fast. “Okay.”
It was just a simple word that indicated no objection nor emotion.
Truth be told, Bai Muchuan was a little confused about won.
“Just look at you!” Quan Shaoteng mocked at him and pressed the elevator. “Little Bai, after seeing how you are, I feel that I’m so fortunate!”
“Fortunate?” Bai Muchuan asked casually, his mind was not focused on him.
“I feel fortunate that I’m still a bachelor!” Quan Shaoteng laughed casually. “It feels too good to be single. When I think of it, I don’t even want to ‘activate’ my luck with won next year!”
“...”
Oh, so he believed in what Zhan Yuan said?
Bai Muchuan laughed at him indifferently. “This excuse sounds perfect!”
“What excuse?”
“For not able to get a girlfriend!”
“You’re asking for a beating?”
“Your eye doesn’t hurt already?”
“D*rn!” Quan Shaoteng pushed the rim of the pair of shades he was wearing and flicked his hair in a dashing manner. “Don’t you think that won are too troubleso?”
Bai Muchuan shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the changing numbers of the elevator.
“I don’t think so.”
“Masochist!”
“...”
“Think about it, you have to coax her, protect her and even guess what’s she’s thinking. When you accidentally offended her, d*rn, her princess syndro acts up and you still need to go after her—tch, tch, I can’t figure out why would one want to torture themselves like that?”
“Nah, princess syndro is only applicable to others.” Bai Muchuan looked at him as though he was flaunting. Next, he enunciated every word. “As for my girlfriend, she’s a princess, but she does not have the princess syndro.”
“Are you sick or sothing?”
“Are the gas not fun enough?” Quan Shaoteng sighed. “The alcohol doesn’t taste good enough? Or your work’s not tough enough?”
Bai Muchuan was amused by him. “Are you silly?”
“Buddy!” Quan Shaoteng held him at the shoulder and shook his head. “You’re finished. Just one look and I can tell that you’re totally into the relationship!”
Bai Muchuan smiled coolly. “You are not a fish; how do you know what constitutes the enjoynt of fishes?”
Quan Shaoteng shot a glance from the corner of his eyes, revealing a cold smile. “Tell then, where’s the enjoynt?”
Bai Muchuan’s eyes deepened. “You’ll understand when your intelligence’s fully ‘grown’. The enjoynt is boundless!”
“Goodness! You’re lewd!”
“We’ve arrived!”
...
Ding!
The elevator arrived on the second floor.
When the two of them walked out of the elevator, Bai Muchuan turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
From the left, the other elevator had also arrived and two familiar figures stepped out of the elevator.
It was ng Chi and Yu Ning.
Yes. The male lead of “The Grey List”.
This person was always keeping a low profile. From the publicity point of view, Yu Ning was as though living in the shadow of Ye Lun!
The four of them t—two groups of n—they were stunned.
They nodded at each other as greeting then ng Chi and Yu Ning walked in front.
...
“D*rn!”
Quan Shaoteng looked at the back view of the two of them and asked Bai Muchuan a question.
“The man beside ng Chi, why did I feel that he looks familiar?”
Bai Muchuan looked quietly at the two n in front. “So you like this type?”
“Hmm? What do you an?”
“Take it literally.”
With that, Bai Muchuan walked into the foot spa center.
“Hey!” Quan Shaoteng then realized what he had ant and followed behind, gritting his teeth. His palm landed on Bai Muchuan’s shoulder heavily that when he turned around, Quan Shaoteng grinned and soothed Bai Muchuan’s shoulder. He directly held him and smiled ambiguously. “I like your type.”
“...” Bai Muchuan swept a glance at him and said nothing.
“Don’t you think that there’s sothing weird with the two of them?” Quan Shaoteng asked.
“Where?”
“I’m unable to put it in words...” Quan Shaoteng gave it a thought but could not co up with anything. “I just feel strange.”
Bai Muchuan let Quan Shaoteng continue to put an arm around his shoulder and waited for an employee of the footspa to attend to them when he suddenly turned around and gave Quan Shaoteng a doting smile. “Very gay, right?”
“Not really...”
Both ng Chi and Yu Ning were not those effeminate looking types.
From their dressing and style, their appearance, they really seed normal.
Yet sohow, he just felt there was sothing amiss—
As Quan Shaoteng thought about it, he noticed that the female employee who was looking at him... a little ambiguously.
Next, he saw the half-smile on Bai Muchuan’s face and realized that he got plotted against by him! Quan Shaoteng hurriedly put his arm down.
... Goodness, the look he portrayed earlier must have been so gay!
The foot spa center had both male and female therapists.
Both Bai Muchuan and Quan Shaoteng chose the male therapist.
When they were brought inside, Bai Muchuan had an amused look. “It’s normal for to choose a male therapist as I already have a girlfriend. But you—”
His eyes fell on Quan Shaoteng’s face as he continued. “After taking in your previous opinions that suggest all won have Princess Syndro, I have serious doubts about your sexual orientation.”
“You must be joking, right?” Quan Shaoteng smiled lazily. “Do you know how I’m like...”
“Laowu!” Bai Muchuan had a pretentiously grim expression. “You mustn’t like , I have a girlfriend!”
“Just scram—!” Quan Shaoteng grunted, wishing he could send him a flying kick.
The two n laughed and chatted casually; when they passed by a room, they took a casual glance.
Coincidentally, ng Chi and Yu Ning were inside the room.
There were two female therapists inside who were making preparations before they start the foot spa. Both ng Chi and Yu Ning were talking softly, their heads very close to each other, as well as their seats.
Actually, that was considered normal.
However, when Yu Ning saw Bai Muchuan passed by, the awkwardness on his face was not normal.
“I rember now!” Quan Shaoteng walked up to Bai Muchuan’s side. “That guy’s a celebrity right? The first male lead of ‘The Grey List’.”
“Mm.” Bai Muchuan nodded his head once again.
They soon reached and entered a room. Bai Muchuan sat down and stretched himself. Maybe he was thinking about sothing, as he did not say a word.
Quan Shaoteng suddenly chuckled softly. “Little Bai, I feel that you might not be able to continue your act?”
“What do you an?” Bai Muchuan closed his eyes lazily.
“The film crew of ‘The Grey List’ is here in Nanmu. The number of people who knows about your identity increased...”
Bai Muchuan did not refute that.
They sat at their seats quietly. After a good while, he finally said sothing. “Did you notice that a storm is brewing?”
“Mm.” Quan Shaoteng agreed, his eyes narrowed to a squint. “That’s why I said your act’s gonna get exposed.”
Bai Muchuan: “...”
About half a second later, Bai Muchuan turned and looked at him deeply. “The plot is coming to a climax. And—I’m not an actor, I’m the scriptwriter.”
“...”
There was a montary silence.
The therapists ca in with smiles on their faces.
Quan Shaoteng had wanted to say sothing but swallowed his words.
“So, what kind of role are you giving ?” He snorted a laugh.
“Security officer!”
“Scram!”
...
Quan Shaoteng had thought Bai Muchuan was joking with him.
He did not expect that Bai Muchuan was serious.
When they ca back to the hotel room from the foot spa, he told Quan Shaoteng.
“Laowu, you need not follow us tomorrow. You’ll stay here with Xiang Wan.”
“What?! You sure?” Quan Shaoteng’s eyes looked daggers at him. “Little Bai, are you ssing around with ?”
“No.”
“I’m the head of Operations Team!” Quan Shaoteng scowled at him, and he almost grabbed Bai Muchuan’s collar.
“I know!” Bai Muchuan showed a severe look, his eyes serious and stern. “The situation here in Nanmu is getting complicated. You’ve seen it for yourself. I hope that you’ll stay behind as support and co to my aid when the need arises. We can’t be putting all eggs in one basket, you understand that, right? You’re the best person for it.”
If sothing were to happen to them during their trip to et Brother Steel, Quan Shaoteng could also contact the Nanmu police and get help from them.
Such an explanation was reasonable enough.
Quan Shaoteng was a little angry. “Why didn’t you stay instead?”
Bai Muchuan pointed at his head. “Your level of intelligence can’t make it!”
“D*mn you—” Quan Shaoteng was definitely not soone who lacked intelligence. It was just that he often got retorted and was too easily agitated in front of Bai Muchuan.
When a person gets angry, the actual level of their intelligence will go down.
“Fine! I won’t argue with you!” Quan Shaoteng took out his room card and pointed at him. “Well, your little girlfriend is not an obedient person... I won’t be responsible for her.”
“You will be held responsible!” Bai Muchuan looked at him with a smile and head back to his room. “Good night!”
