Quite awkward

Mu Chenan sent Qi Yu back to the villa. He didn't stay and went out again.

Qi Yu carried the things she bought from the supermarket back to her room alone, sorted them out, then took a shower and removed her makeup. She changed into home clothes and sat on the lazy sofa by the window to read the script.

I only left the room briefly for lunch.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and suddenly it was late at night.

Mu Chenan came back from outside and took the elevator from the garage to the first floor. The living room was dark and empty. He turned on the light and walked to the dining room to take a look. The dinner on the table was untouched.

He turned around and walked to the door of Qi Yu's room. He knocked on the door with his knuckles. After a few knocks, there was no response. He simply pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.

The light in Qi Yu's room was very dim. She was writing at the desk with only a bright yellow desk lamp on.

"Qi Yu." The deep voice seemed to float into his ears through the night.

The person who had been working day and night finally reacted and turned around to see Mu Chenan standing tall at the door. She squinted and couldn't make out his expression.

She tentatively called out "Second Brother", quickly put down her pen, pulled out her chair and ran to him.

"Didn't you have dinner?" Mu Chenan asked.

Qi Yu patted his head and only remembered this after he reminded him.

"I wasn't hungry just now, but now I'm finally hungry. I'm going to eat right away."

She pretended to go out, but Mu Chenan's tall figure blocked the doorway, showing no intention of moving away.

He lowered his eyes and found that the neckline of her clothes was too wide, revealing her fair collarbone and showing a little cleavage in the middle.

There is heating in the room, so it's not cold, but as a woman, she is too casual.

“At my house, remember to keep your clothes on.”

Qi Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly took a step back, reached out to grab his collar, covered his chest with his other hand, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ever since she moved out of the Mu family, she either lived in the girls' dormitory or lived alone. She always dressed however she felt comfortable, so some of her habits still remained after moving into his house. For example, she didn't wear any underwear now.

Mu Chenan's expression was very cold, and there was no trace of charm in his eyes, which was consistent with his usual abstinent image.

After reminding Qi Yu, he stepped back, turned around and strode away.

Qi Yu still didn't wear any underwear. She picked up her coat, put it on, buttoned it up, and then walked out of the room to eat in the restaurant.

The rice was still hot in the rice cooker, but the dish was cold.

She took the plate into the kitchen to heat up the food. After it was heated up, she sat alone in the restaurant and ate slowly, still thinking about the characters and plot in the script.

Mu Chenan went back to his room to take a shower, and then came down again. Seeing her brown coat, he suddenly asked, "Don't you have anything else to wear?"

Qi Yu held the chopsticks, looked down, and said with embarrassment: "All my clothes are in Beicheng."

"Since you haven't started filming yet, go back tomorrow and take care of it and move all your things over here."

"I don't have money to buy a plane ticket." Qi Yu is now more calm.

I spread my hands, helpless.

She is a pauper.

Mu Chenan casually pulled a chair and sat down beside her, chuckling: "Did I say I wouldn't buy it for you?"

"Then I don't have the money to ship all the luggage back." Qi Yu deliberately asked various questions.

It was he who asked her to move here before, so he should help her solve all the difficulties. She didn't want to have any extra burden on herself.

"Well, I'll transfer 5,000 to you. This is for the round-trip airfare and luggage transportation."

Qi Yu opened his eyes wide, somewhat stunned.

Mu Chenan is worthy of being a businessman, he won't let her take advantage of him at all.

Now the air ticket from Linjiang to Beicheng costs more than one thousand yuan, and the round-trip transportation fee is two to three thousand yuan, plus the cost of transporting luggage.

Snapped.

The five thousand yuan was gone in an instant.

Qi Yu smiled dryly at him and said, "Thank you, second brother. I will definitely pay you back when I make money."

"No need to pay it back, I don't need it."

Qi Yu knew without him reminding her that he was not short of money.

There was a meaningful smile on Mu Chenan's face.

Let's just consider the money spent on her as an investment for now. After all, we know it's a losing business, so it won't cause any bad consequences.

-

Qi Yu's eyes were sore, so he decided not to read the script anymore and went to bed early that night.

The next morning, Chen Yang came to the villa to report.

Mu Chenan changed into a cold and stiff black suit, which was very formal, but he had a noble and cold aura that made people afraid to approach him.

When Qi Yu saw him for the first time, she was also dazed for half a minute.

It is undeniable that Mu Chenan has outstanding appearance, handsome appearance, broad shoulders and long legs, and is even better than the male stars in the entertainment industry.

The Spring Festival holiday is over and the Mu Group has returned to work. Mu Chenan has several important meetings today, so he arranges for Chen Yang to take Qi Yu to the airport.

Before leaving, Mu Chenan lowered his head and touched his sleeves, and lazily warned Qi Yu: "Come back the day after tomorrow at the latest. Don't let me rush you."

“Oh, okay, brother.”

Qi Yu responded very positively. She just wanted to join the group as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to be with him day and night and have to read his face all the time.

……

After landing in Beicheng, we went to pick up NIO.

The two hugged each other tightly and then separated, both sighing sadly.

Who could have thought that so many things would happen during the Chinese New Year?

Xiang Wei took the bag from her shoulder, not knowing how to comfort her, and took her hand to the car.

"How is Jiang Yuhuai? How many years will he be sentenced to?"

"The lawyer said his case is serious and the amount involved is large, so it's very likely he'll be sentenced to more than ten years. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the subsequent trial."

Thinking about how much money she had been cheated out of, Qi Yu leaned back in her chair, pressed her eyebrows, and aroused her worry.

After experiencing such a devastating blow, it would be difficult for anyone to get over it.

"Although the money was not returned, Jiang Yuhuai was at least punished. My aunt also felt guilty and regretted introducing you to Jiang Yuhuai." Xiang Wei said.

Qi Yu also regretted that she shouldn't have tried to find a way out on the dating variety show. She only recorded one episode, but all kinds of problems arose one after another, and she ended up losing money, which made her depressed and sad for many days.

She didn't want to burden others, so she waved her hand and pretended to be relieved: "Tell my aunt not to think too much. I've slowly gotten over it and will be filming soon. I can always make the money back."

Xiang Wei sighed deeply.

The two of them had a meal at a restaurant outside, and when they returned to Xiang Wei's house, Qi Yu felt particularly relaxed and comfortable. She leaned on the sofa and didn't want to move, let alone pack up.

Xiang Wei saw that her bag was bulging and asked casually, "What's in your bag? It's so heavy."

"script."

Qi Yu stood up and took out two scripts from her bag, wanting to ask Xiang Wei, who also graduated from the acting department, for help with the character design.

"One is an ordinary employee, the second female lead, who comes from a very poor family and has extremely controlling parents. She is a very tragic character."

"The other one is a dancer, the third female lead. She's gentle and pretty, serious and professional. Not only is she successful in her career, she's also found love. Which one do you think is better?"

After reading the stack of scripts, Qi Yu liked the characters in both stories more, but the two dramas started filming almost at the same time, so she could only choose one.

Xiang Wei hadn't read the script. She stroked her chin and analyzed it carefully, "The character of an ordinary employee is complex and tragic, which will only make people feel depressed. Besides, you haven't worked a nine-to-five job before, so you don't have time for professional experience. If you want to play it well, it will definitely be very stressful."

"I think a dancer is more suitable for you. First, your character is outstanding and the image fits your profile. Second, you've been practicing dancing for the second half of last year, so it just came in handy. It wasn't a waste."

Qi Yu gave a faint smile.

At present, she is not very familiar with Zhang Pei, and she is embarrassed to discuss it with him.

Xiang Wei hit the nail on the head. She didn't have much experience in filming, so it would be best for her to stay in her comfort zone for the time being. There was no need to challenge difficult roles right from the start, as she might not be able to perform well.
