CH 76

Title: Son, “Mom” Will Back You

She waited for almost a whole hour.

When Luo Xiu came out, the girl who was dozing off with her head resting on her palms at a corner outside of the dressing room almost rolled into a ball.

Luo Xiu reflexively walked toward her in gentle steps. He stopped not too far from her, looked down and studied her carefully.

Gu Nian has a skinny face and it tapered toward her chin, making her chin appeared pointy normally. Right now, forced by her own palms, her cheeks were pushed toward the tip of her nose… sure enough, she looked like the fox that his little assistant always talked about.

He had, nevertheless, ever seen a fox that liked to sleep so much.

With his back to the light, Luo Xiu looked at the girl motionlessly. There was very complication emotions in his eyes.

Something must have gotten into hi as he had leaned down and reached his hand out toward the girl’s slightly brown hair that just looked oh-so-soft.

Before he could touch it, the head moved a little.

A few seconds later, Gu Nian lifted up her head groggily. “Hmm?”

As she sight began to focus, she finally saw who it was that was standing in front of her.

Straight long pants, white shirt, somewhat messy short hair, and the dark brown eyes now that the gold-rimmed glasses were gone.

Her arms wrapped around her knees, she started for a few seconds blankly before she broke into a smile.

“Mr. Luo Xiu.”

“…hmm?”

“You were just in my dream and that reminded me of something.”

“What is it?”

“June 16 is next Tuesday – It’s almost your birthday! Is there anything you’d like for your birthday? I will for sure get it for you!”

“… …”

She didn’t receive an answer, not even a grunt. Gu Nian felt dubious but, with Luo Xiu’s back to the light, she couldn’t really make out the look on him.

As such, Gu Nian stood up slowly as she massaged her calves that were starting to finally feel numb. “Mr.… Luo Xiu?”

The second that she stood up while leaning on the wall, Gu Nian could now see Luo Xiu’s face clearly.

She was taken aback a little.

He didn’t look too much different than normal with the light makeup on. The only difference was the youtanhua painted carefully on his forehead beneath his fringes.

The blood red paint on this delicate fair skin brought about the coldest and most seductive contrast.

Gu Nian was in a daze.

For a brief second there, she could not tell whether it was the gentle-like-jade Luo Xiu or youtanhua, the Buddhism sacred item who had turned into a demon.

“Miss Gu said I am not that kind of a person on our way here.” His light-colored lips opened and shut. His smile didn’t really look like a smile and his voice was so low that it was seductive. “Is Miss Gu that kind of a person then?”

“What… what kind of person?”

Gu Nian gasped a little and looked up, with a hint of slight and inexplicable nervousness.

The pressure from the eyes against the light increased.

“The kind who’d go and seduce another man for intimacy when she already has a boyfriend.”

“… …”

Gu Nian was stupefied.

He was so… so seductive.

Even though she couldn’t make out the man’s features and look clearly, but she could still tell a seductiveness that was very different from his usual gentle self just from his voice that had been lowered deliberately and seemingly containing a hint of smile as well as a hint of coldness and distance inside of it.

Did her precious son relate so much with the character that he couldn’t even help himself anymore?

She had heard that there were very talented actors who, different from the ones with skills and techniques, would relate so much with the characters that they would temporarily mix up between reality and the scripts…

Before she was done thinking, the man who wasn’t standing very far from her suddenly took yet another step forward and a sense of pressure that she had never felt before casted down on her.

His chin tightened and his voice had been lowered even more.

“Would you, Miss Gu?”

“… …”

Aye, he was her own son after all. What was she supposed to do? Give him a beating?

Besides, as his mother, it was her duty to be the role model and show him the proper views on the world, values, life, and romance!

Uh huh!

When she was done thinking it through, Gu Nian looked up and said seriously. “Of course not. I have known my boyfriend most of my life and our relationship has a very solid foundation. I am very loyal to my relationship – we will never betray each other emotionally or physically!”

A long silence.

Gu Nian heard a cold, somewhat cruel, low, and seductive chuckle.

Luo Xiu, “Is. That. So?”
