Quite awkward

The next evening, Mu Chenan got off the elevator and suddenly found that the sensor light in the corridor did not respond. It was dark and gloomy, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

He has always disliked the environment here, and only Qi Yu can tolerate living in such a poor and messy place.

An hour ago, he called Qi Yu, and a mechanical voice came from the receiver saying "The number you dialed is turned off." He didn't have her WeChat, so he simply went to her house and gave her the gift from his elder brother that had traveled across the ocean.

I rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside.

Did he go out with friends to celebrate his birthday?

After pressing it a few times, he lost his patience and decided to come back next time.

Suddenly, the elevator door opened and closed, and the sound of footsteps from sneakers came closer. Mu Chenan glanced sideways coldly, and through the light of the other person's mobile phone screen, he found a male high school student wearing black-framed glasses standing next to him.

“Excuse me, what are you doing standing at my door?”

The male high school student spoke bluntly and was very defensive. He stared cautiously at the cold and noble man in front of him, looking like someone he wasn't going to mess with.

Mu Chenan took a step back, his voice slightly lowered: "Is this your home?"

The male high school student nodded and took out the key from his pocket to prove himself.

“Yes, I’ve lived here for a semester.”

Mu Chenan lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment.

He had been here twice before, so he was sure he was in the right place.

Judging from what the male high school student said, Qi Yu was most likely to have moved out last September.

Did she change her suite or leave Linjiang?

Obviously, the eldest brother didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't have blindly ordered him to go to the house to deliver gifts.

While he was distracted, the male high school student hurriedly took out the key, opened the door, and quickly ran into the house.

He thought Mu Chenan was a bad person with bad intentions.

Mu Chenan frowned slightly when he saw the closed door.

He thought, since he couldn't see Qi Yu, then forget it.

When I got back to the car, Mu Yanqing called me. It was Qi Yu's birthday that day, and he wanted to ask about the progress of sending the gift.

Mu Chenan reported seriously: "Brother, I just went downstairs and am still outside Fenglan Community."

Mu Yanqing nodded softly. He guessed that Mu Chenan and Qi Yu had already met, and the necklace should have been safely delivered to her hands.

He said calmly, "It was just past midnight in China today. I sent Ah Yu a blessing text message, and she quickly replied thank you. However, I didn't mention a gift. I just wanted to give her a surprise."

“Did she seem to like the necklace when she received it?”

Mu Chenan opened the gift box in his hand with one hand, his fingertips fell on the exquisite and beautiful aquamarine. He tilted his head to look out the car window, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he did not tell the truth.

“She liked it.”

Mu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. I was worried that she would not want to accept the necklace, so I didn't mention the gift to her in advance..."

The person on the other end of the phone was still talking about Qi Yu, and Mu Chenan listened to him silently.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Brother, my project..."

Mu Yanqing certainly wouldn't deliberately embarrass his younger brother. He said good-naturedly, "I just talked to Dad about your project. If you want to invest, go ahead. It's not a big deal. Dad has already agreed."

"Well, okay, let's stop talking for now. I have to drive home."

After achieving his goal, Mu Chenan took the initiative to hang up the phone. His thoughts calmed down. He casually threw the box on his legs to his side and then called the driver to drive.

On her birthday, Qi Yu learned that the crew was going to replace the actress for the role of the ancient costume courtesan that she had fought so hard to get.

I heard that the role was replaced by an amateur girl who graduated from a dance academy. This girl has fair skin, beautiful looks, a small head, a swan neck, and a well-proportioned body.

The director does not require the actor's acting skills for this role, but is more concerned with the elegance and completeness of the actor's dance moves.

When Qi Yu finished the audition, the director praised her for being beautiful and smart, and her stunning look in ancient costume, and immediately decided to let her play the role of the second female lead, the Oiran.

She moved from Linjiang to Beicheng to participate in the actor training camp for this movie. She needed to go from having no basic dance skills to being proficient in it in a short period of time.

In the past few months, she immersed herself in the dance studio, studying the dances in the movie with her teacher seriously and diligently, practicing over and over again, and shedding countless sweat. But on her birthday, she was suddenly hit by a blow.

The director verbally apologized to Qi Yu repeatedly, telling him about his difficulties and that he had to consider the entire film.

Then he asked the finance department to pay her a salary, which was called compensation, but in fact he wanted Qi Yu to pack up and leave quickly.

Qi Yu felt that she was extremely unlucky. She had graduated from the Film Academy half a year ago, but still had not achieved anything. It was somewhat embarrassing.

Sometimes she thought that maybe she was not suitable to be an actor at all, and it would be better for her to change her career early while she was still young.

A few months ago, an accident at a wedding deeply affected Qi Yu's mood. She was in a state of anxiety and irritability for a long time and found it difficult to regulate herself.

Later, she passed the audition and the crew asked her to come to Beicheng for training. She did not hesitate for long and decisively decided to move to another city with all her assets.

After arriving in Beicheng, she did not rent a house directly. Instead, she left most of her luggage at Xiang Wei's home and lived in the dormitory of the actor training camp.

The busy training life in Beicheng gradually calmed her mentality. For this role, she only wanted to work hard to practice dancing well.

Now that she is facing another role change, she can only seek refuge with Xiang Wei for the time being.

Qi Yu suffered repeated setbacks in his career.

Xiang Wei participated in a dating variety show, which became a hit. In the past six months, she has become the most influential internet celebrity in China. Her self-media account has been flooded with advertisements, and her male partner has also gained countless fans and made a lot of money.

Netizens firmly believe that the two are a truly loving couple, and even their casual glances at each other are full of affection.

In fact, they only signed a contractual cooperation relationship, and there are professionals behind the scenes to allow the two of them to continue their business by using the CP on the dating variety show, thereby maintaining a high level of attention on the Internet.
