The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 451 Two Tickets
Tickets to "Dancing with the Stars"?

In the early hours of the morning in Shanghai, Wen Sheng, driving back from his ex-wife's house, stared at the two bills in his hand and fell into deep thought.

His ex-wife gave him the two tickets but didn't ask them to go together.

Thinking about Ms. Nuo's expression at home just now, Wen Sheng was a little confused.

Is it that they really don't have time, or is this just some kind of test?

A while has passed since that disastrous dinner party and the conversation between Di and Nuolan at the foot massage parlor. They are all adults, and both have been married and divorced. It would be unwise, even immature, for them to argue like young lovers and then fall into a long-term cold war.

Although the two had their own stances at the time, and the atmosphere dropped to a freezing point after they started arguing, this did not directly affect their already deep relationship.

There are definitely indirect effects, but this is essentially a correction of emotional shifts.

Wen Sheng didn't insist on being a Sigma man all the time, and his attitude softened later as he left with Nuolan.

Just like when Nuolan went a little too far at the banquet, Wen Sheng didn't embarrass her in front of everyone. So even after Nuolan had a fight with him at the foot massage parlor, she didn't throw a tantrum outside.

People always grow through the stimulation of things, and the greatest stimulation in a person's life is nothing more than the destruction of their future, the breakdown of relationships, the death of relatives and friends, and so on.

For Nuolan, the biggest shock she has experienced so far is the previous divorce proceedings between the two of them.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, in her memory during this period, the main reason that led to the breakdown of the marriage was her. However, she should have learned more lessons and made more changes, but because Wen Sheng often stayed by her side after the divorce, just like before, she always felt that everything was the same.

Although she has learned to cook some dishes and is more considerate of Wen Sheng's feelings, these are just superficial changes. In fact, these changes only occurred during the period immediately following the divorce. Now, as time goes by, she has not only reverted to her old ways but has also begun to revert to them.

It wasn't until she argued with Wen Sheng this time that she suddenly realized that the two of them had already divorced.

She got divorced... No matter how harmonious her relationship with Wen Sheng was during this time, it couldn't hide the fact that she was actually a woman who had failed in managing relationships.

Now, just one argument is almost enough to bring her back to her original state.

For Wen Sheng, his decision not to become a Sigma man is a change in his life. Half a year is neither a long nor a short time, but it has at least allowed him to get used to having such a gentle, stubborn, and occasionally emotionally unstable beautiful ex-wife in this world.

If he were to make the other person chase after a car barefoot on the road again, like when he first came to this world, he probably wouldn't be so willing.

I feel more like a human being now, which is great.

While waiting at a red light, Wen Sheng took out his brass pocket watch from the inside of his coat, close to his chest pocket, and stroked it for a while.

A cool sensation came from his fingertips. Wen Sheng looked down silently, his eyes swirling with thoughts. Finally, he smiled and put it back into his pocket.

As for the two tickets by the armrest, they're not a big deal. If Nuolan doesn't want to go, so be it. If this is also a test, then it won't do him any good.

As the traffic light turned green, Wen Sheng, who was supposed to go straight back to his apartment, suddenly remembered something, turned the corner, and drove off in a different direction.

He didn't stay at the apartment after dropping Nuolan off at home tonight. The reasons were complicated. Perhaps it was so as not to make Nuolan wake up early the next morning, perhaps it was because he had said he wanted to go back to his apartment, or perhaps it was because of the argument they had had earlier.

After all, every clash of emotions will cause some changes to occur and spread invisibly.

In any case, he definitely wasn't staying at his ex-wife's house tonight.

The car drove slowly through the streets of Shanghai shrouded in night until it stopped outside a hospital, at which point Wen Sheng got out.

After glancing at the crescent moon in the sky, Wen Sheng let out a soft sigh, touched the pocket watch on his chest, and went straight into the hospital.

He went upstairs with practiced ease, and when he stood at the door of a ward, he paused for a second before pushing the door open and going in.

The ward was dark. When Wen Sheng turned on the light, the incandescent bulb was slightly dazzling for a moment, but he was not affected. He just focused his gaze on the only bed in the ward.

"It must have been about half a year ago."

Wen Sheng dragged a chair to sit down in front of the hospital bed and sighed as he looked at Xin Ling lying on the bed.

……

"Lu Ziqiao, didn't you say before that you were going to help Zhang Wei pick up girls and turn him into a better person?"

The next day at the Lonely Corner Bar, Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Wei, who had been dragged there by Lu Ziqiao, took a sip of his drink, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, he should have acted like a decent human being yesterday, but this mediocre person deserted at the last minute."

When Lu Ziqiao said this, he glanced at Zhang Wei, who knew that such behavior was inappropriate and lowered his head.

Guan Gu Shenqi, who was next to Zeng Xiaoxian, asked curiously, "So you think bringing him here today will solve the problem?"

"of course!"

Lu Ziqiao raised his voice and said confidently with a smile, "This time I have specially devised a second plan - the ultimate indirect flirting method."

"Another ultimate solution?" Zeng Xiaoxian scoffed. "Are you sure it will work?"

"Hmph, if I can't keep an eye on him, all my veterinary license exams were for nothing." Lu Ziqiao snorted coldly, then asked, "By the way, where's my aunt? Let her teach Zhang Wei some acting skills for improvising."

"Oh, Youyou went for an interview, she probably won't be back for a long time," Zeng Xiaoxian said.

"That's it, then..."

"Then should we not rush into an attack?" Zhang Wei immediately smiled.

"Dream on! Even if Aunt Flo hasn't come, my plan will still work!"

Lu Ziqiao immediately rejected the idea and then dragged Zhang Wei to the battlefield.

After they left, Guan Gu Shenqi asked Zeng Xiaoxian curiously, "How did you know Youyou went for an interview?"

“Of course, the drama she auditioned for is one that our TV station is producing.” Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at him. “It’s the one Nuolan recommended her for last time; she’s the female lead!”

"Really? That's wonderful! Youyou will be so happy!" Upon hearing this news, Guan Gu Shenqi couldn't hide his smile. "Mrs. Wen is indeed a very pregnant woman. She didn't even hold Youyou's actions at the banquet against her will."

"..."

Zeng Xiaoxian frowned and twitched his lips, saying, "That's called being generous, not having a big belly."

Guan Gu was taken aback: "Is there a difference?"

"..."

"In any case, this is a new starting point for Youyou's acting career!"

"Heh, don't get too excited yet, the audition wasn't successful."

Just then, Hu Yifei's voice came from the side. The two turned their heads and their eyes widened immediately.

Wearing a white top hat, a white suit, and transparent gloves, Hu Yifei is striking Michael Jackson's signature pose of holding his hat with one hand and covering his crotch with the other.

"Please put away your surprise and don't be too obsessed with me. I'm just a legend," Hu Yifei said, raising an eyebrow at them.

"Yifei, your look is so cool!" Guan Gu Shenqi exclaimed first.

"Haha, of course." Hu Yifei tilted her head back and laughed triumphantly, then put her hand on Neo's shoulder behind her and said, "This was specially designed for me by Neo."

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile froze slightly.

"The main reason is that Yifei's own temperament is a good match, and she can showcase this style very well," Neo said modestly with a smile after sitting down.

Guan Gu Shenqi simply thought Hu Yifei's look was very cool, and immediately exclaimed, "Si Guoyi, you truly deserve to be called a fashion stylist."

"Isn't it just cosplay?" Zeng Xiaoxian said sourly as he watched Hu Yifei sit down next to Neo.

Neo didn't react much, but Hu Yifei gave Zeng Xiaoxian a disdainful look.

"You talk as if you have some special talent?"

"Of course I have one!" Zeng Xiaoxian snorted. "I'm going to be on 'Dancing with the Stars' soon, and it's broadcast live on TV!"

"Tch, everyone in the apartment knows your lousy skills," Hu Yifei scoffed. "You really think you're something special just because you're there to fill a spot?"

"Hmph, say what you will, I'm about to become a big star!" "Hehe, congratulations then. I hope you don't get stuck on the overpass again, and Guan Gu has to take your place on stage."

Hu Yifei brought up the old story again, recounting the embarrassing incident of Zeng Xiaoxian missing out on "Ruyu Youyue".

As expected, Zeng Xiaoxian's face turned green.

"Teacher Zeng, what's your entrance move this time? Maybe I can learn it first, just in case." Guan Gu Shenqi replied with a smile, and added, "By the way, I forgot to advertise on the show last time, so I must bring 'Love Triangle Cat' this time."

"..."

Zeng Xiaoxian, whose face had turned from green to black, listened to the two men's sarcasm and said irritably, "You wish! I will definitely not make such a low-level mistake this time!"

Then he looked at Neo, who was also smiling, and said provocatively, "By the way, aren't you a fashion stylist? If you have the ability to design a big star's makeup and styling for me, then I'll admire you."

"Tch, if you want someone to help you, just say so. Why make up this kind of excuse?" Hu Yifei scoffed.

"What do you mean, begging for help? This is a future superstar asking him to design his makeup and styling!"

Listening to the conversation between Xian and Fei, Neo smiled but didn't say much. Instead, he first looked Zeng Xiaoxian up and down, who had short legs, a large head, and a somewhat stocky build. After a moment of contemplation, he said:

"Hmm... I think we can design an Elvis Presley look for you."

"Elvis?" Zeng Xiaoxian's heart skipped a beat.

……

Not far from the sofa, Lu Ziqiao, whose face was splashed with drinks and red wine, was wiping his face while scolding his incompetent teammate Zhang Wei.

Although he already knew that Zhang Wei was a clueless and incompetent teammate, today's incident has once again broadened his understanding of this teammate.

"Zhang Wei, you're something else! I asked you to cooperate with me in indirectly flirting, and you acted like a perverted voyeur. I gave you the opportunity, and all you could say was 'eat meat'?!"

Lu Ziqiao's words were already quite subtle. During the first round of cooperation, Zhang Wei beckoned to the girl with his finger, saying that Lu Ziqiao, who was watching her, was a voyeuristic pervert who had seen countless women.

In the second wave, Lu Ziqiao helped him create an opportunity. Just when it seemed that he had successfully struck up a conversation with the girl who owned a Schnauzer, and Zhang Wei was about to have a proper chat about "mating," Wei hesitated for a long time before finally saying that Schnauzer meat was delicious...

Lu Ziqiao now has a real urge to strangle Zhang Wei, because every time a girl throws alcohol in his face.

Zhang Wei looked embarrassed and somewhat disheartened: "I... I still can't get over the heartbreak. I don't know what to say."

He paused for a moment, then said dejectedly, "I think I'd better leave."

"Don't be a deserter!" Lu Ziqiao grabbed him. "Aren't you Snake? A snake needs patience to kill with one strike."

"But I think I'm suited to hibernation now."

"..."

Having such a hopeless teammate, Lu Ziqiao felt his head was about to explode.

Just as he was about to scold Zhang Wei to wake him up, he turned his eyes and saw Hu Yifei dressed in a flashy outfit on the sofa, and Neo surrounded by her.

"Have it!"

Lu Ziqiao's sudden increase in volume startled Zhang Wei. He looked down at Lu Ziqiao's stomach and asked, "How many months pregnant?"

"You idiot, I meant I have a new plan!"

After slapping Zhang Wei on the head, Lu Ziqiao pulled him away and left.

……

Meanwhile, at the Lishui villa.

The clothes of men and women were scattered from the half-open bedroom door to the bedside. In the hazy, ambiguous atmosphere, the breathing in the bedroom gradually subsided until it was barely audible.

After a long while, Qin Yumo, who was lying on Wen Sheng's chest with her eyes half-closed, said, "I'm so tired, I don't want to move. Can you carry me to take a bath?"

"Okay." Wen Sheng put one arm around her and played with her increasingly large granary with the other. "We'll go after a short rest."

After a brief conversation, the bedroom fell silent again, as if the two of them had not yet fully recovered from the activity they had just been engaged in.

"Zeng Xiaoxian is going to be in the preliminary round of 'Dancing with the Stars' next week. I have two tickets. Want to come with me?"

After a while, Wen Sheng switched hands and repeated the previous action, while also speaking.

"next week……"

Qin Yumo muttered something under her breath. Feeling an itch on her chest, she swatted away the other man's mischievous hand, but it quickly climbed back up. Knowing this man's true nature, she had no choice but to give up.

Then she rolled over, bracing herself on her arms on either side of Wen Sheng, and sat on the dog man's stomach, looking down at him and saying, "Why did you decide to come with me to see it?"

"If I don't go with you, who else can I go with?"

Wen Sheng smiled, his gaze sweeping down from top to bottom, and then both his hands were ready to do something.

Qin Yumo glanced down, then covered the other person's hand to prevent them from moving, and said, "Of course it's her, your precious ex-wife."

Hearing the other party's tone, Wen Sheng paused slightly, then clenched his fists together and said, "Ms. Qin, that tone is a bit unnecessary!"

"..."

Qin Yumo's breath hitched slightly. She then released her grip and placed her hands on either side of the scoundrel's head again. Looking into his eyes, she said irritably, "Is it superfluous? I think it's just right!"

Don't you know how aggressive Nuolan was when she came? She was terrified!
Qin Yumo didn't say these words aloud, but Wen Sheng knew them, so he made his movements even gentler: "She's busy with work, I want to go with you, is that not allowed?"

"is it?"

Qin Yumo stared into the dog man's eyes for a moment, then raised her hand and placed it on his chest for a few seconds.

"What? Do you think I'm telling the truth or lying?" Wen Sheng asked with a smile.

More than one woman had tried this method on him before, but it was all ineffective. How could he not have this much mental fortitude?
Qin Yumo wrinkled her nose upon hearing this, put her hand away, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, I'll be quite busy with work next week. You should find someone else."

"..."

Wen Sheng looked slightly taken aback. Why was he rejected again?
"Who else can I turn to besides you?" the scoundrel said helplessly.

"Then I wouldn't know." Qin Yumo blinked. "Who knows if you have other women?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slander me like that. What kind of person do you take me for?"

Wen Sheng, who had been truly wronged, immediately became unhappy.

"Who is it?" Qin Yumo looked down at the two of them, now completely naked, and chuckled, "It can't be a nice man, can it?"

"..."

Wen Sheng was speechless for a moment, then let go of his hands from above and slid straight down.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

"Let's try a different position."

Honestly, it's not like you can't find someone you're truly friends with to watch the show together.
……

The second week ended at the weekend, and the scene of "Dancing with the Stars" was set up.

"Uncle, I feel like I'm more suited to a child's ticket."

Inside the audience seats, Zhuge Dali sat down and spoke to Wen Sheng next to her.
