CH 26

Gu Jinmian really did not expect that this incident originated from him.

But he didn’t feel that he had gone too far with Bai Xinyu before.

As for inviting him to eat hot pot…it’s only in passing!

He also wanted to take Yin Moshu and Du Bai’an.

Bai Xinyu was obviously also shocked.

Bai Xinyu: [Little yellow duck wriggling.jpg]

Bai Xinyu: [Really?]

Bai Xinyu: [What kind of hot pot do we eat?]

Gu Jinmian glanced at the phone, let out a hiss, and got his eyes burnt by the wriggling emoji.

Gu Jinmian: [Mandarin Duck Pot, I’ll send you the location when it’s settled.] (TL: also called two-flavor hot pot)

Bai Xinyu: [Blooming Hearts.jpg]

Bai Xinyu: [I love Mandarin Duck Pot the most, thank you home!] (TL: “home” there is originally in English. BX mentioned before that GJ is like a stepmother, pin yin for stepmother is “hou” “ma”, and because he’s not got at English (just his reason to not get caught by GJ saying that GJ is like a stepmother) somehow it became “home”)

In fact, his favorite was the spicy hot pot, but usually there were also some in a Mandarin Duck Pot.

When Bai Xinyu arrived happily that evening, he saw a Mandarin Duck Pot with mushroom soup pot base on one side and coconut milk on the other.

Bai Xinyu: “……”

Du Bai’an explained, “Yin Moshu is injured and cannot eat spicy food.”

So, they all have to follow suit and avoid spicy food, right?

It’s not impossible either.

Bai Xinyu crazily added chili pepper to the dipping sauce.

Gu Jinmian, who was passing by: “Don’t add those with obvious spicy aroma, what should Yin Moshu do if he smells it and wants to eat it?”

Bai Xinyu put on a crestfallen face.

But when he saw Yin Moshu, he felt nothing but regret in his heart, and wished he could drink the coconut milk hot pot base with him and get full.

“I’m sorry, Yin Moshu.” Bai Xinyu sat opposite him, with a rare expression of serious pain on his face, “I don’t know why, my fans are always very crazy, I have also been chased many times.”

Gu Jinmian complained in his heart: it’s because you are the protagonist.

They just love and want to protect you like crazy for no reason.

Bai Xinyu scratched his head, not knowing how to make up for it. Du Bai’an told him that Gu Jinmian found the best hospital and the best experts for Yin Moshu, obviously there was no shortage of medical expenses.

“I will post a blog.” Bai Xinyu thought over and over again and decided to express his stance, “Yin Moshu, let’s take a group photo.”

Yin Moshu changed into clean clothes and wore a gray-blue shirt. The white gauze on his forehead reduced the aggressiveness of his face, appearing calm and composed, soothing and elegant.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Bai Xinyu, “No need.”

Bai Xinyu: “Oh.”

Gu Jinmian: “……..”

He found a problem.

Both Du Bai’an and Bai Xinyu’s attitude towards Yin Moshu was a bit strange.

For example, whether they were on the set or eating a meal like now, they would involuntarily face Yin Moshu, with normal body instincts.

They seemed to be a little afraid of Yin Moshu, but also a little respectful, and they cared a lot about his opinion.

Just like a kid facing his dad.

Gu Jinmian: “…?”

After Yin Moshu said that there was no need, Bai Xinyu immediately put away his phone, dejected.

Gu Jinmian: “It doesn’t have to be a group photo, why not a photo of the place?”

Bai Xinyu immediately raised his head to look at Yin Moshu, seeing that Yin Moshu did not refuse, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to take a picture of the hot pot on the table, just showing Yin Moshu’s hand.

His hands were very recognizable, with large palms, long fingers, and a pink scar on the tiger’s mouth, anyone who knew a little bit would be able to recognize it. (TL: part of the hand between the thumb and the index finger.)

After Bai Xinyu took the picture, he began to type.

“Brother…….”

Bai Xinyu couldn’t type the word “brother”, whenever he did, there would be a burst of thunder in his head, and a feeling of being condemned by the heavens for his disobedience.

After struggling for a while, Bai Xinyu’s eyes lit up.

[Bai Xinyu: Offenders of my teammates, even if far away, will still be punished [picture]] 

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

Is he a fool?

However, Gu Jinmian was a little surprised, he didn’t expect him to be ambiguous at all, which would offend many fans.

The fans who were fighting were stunned when they saw it.

Are the two protagonists happily eating hot pot offline while the online argument is in a life-or-death struggle?

Really had a great time eating.

At least Bai Xinyu was very happy.

He ate for a while, squinted his eyes, and asked Gu Jinmian, “Did you think that it was too much for me that day and felt a little guilty?”

Before Gu Jinmian could swallow the tripe in his mouth, Bai Xinyu said, “In that case, why don’t you sign me in?”

Gu Jinmian: “……..”

“Don’t separate us, and you don’t have to pay liquidated damages, because my contract will expire in two months.”

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

He hesitated a little.

He felt that this is a great thing.

This is the protagonist, and he will become popular in the future.

If the “son of luck” comes to his company, will he still worry about the company’s development?

But, this is the protagonist, the protagonist he should hate, why should he stand in the same line?

He glanced at Bai Xinyu, who was looking at him expectantly and nervously with his big eyes.

Doesn’t it seem like it’s very annoying?

Bai Xinyu: “Let me tell you, many companies are contacting me!”

“Okay, okay, sign, sign, sign!”

“Ah ‘home’, you are so kind! I love you!”

Yin Moshu raised his eyes upon hearing this.

Bai Xinyu suddenly felt that he’s shrouded in danger, and under the strong urge to survive, he said, “home, you are so kind, I respect and love you!”

Gu Jinmian: “???”

Du Bai’an looked very happy, raised the orange juice in his hand, and said, “Congratulations.”

Gu Jinmian stood up holding a milk, “This is our company’s first team building!”

After speaking, he glanced at Yin Moshu, Yin Moshu didn’t object, and raised the watermelon juice in his hand.

Gu Jinmian smiled happily.

“Since we’re all in the same company, there’s no need to make a clear distinction. Bai Xinyu will act in “The Gift of Time.” Yin Moshu said.

“Ah!” Bai Xinyu responded immediately, overjoyed.

Seeing that Gu Jinmian was about to speak, Yin Moshu added, “My schedule may not be available, Director Liu insisted that I must audition for his movie “On the Snow”.”

Gu Jinmian, who had been so busy lately, suddenly remembered that when he first transmigrated in, he helped Yin Moshu pull resources, mainly two movies, one was a big-budget movie by Director Lin, and the other was a small-budget movie. Knowing that it would become popular, Gu Jinmian directly invested 80 million to let the director prepare well.

Not only did he say that Yin Moshu had to play male lead, but he also mentioned Du Bai’an in order to compensate him at that time.

Gu Jinmian looked at Du Bai’an.

Du Bai’an hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, “Director Liu also asked me to go, thank you boss.”

Bai Xinyu: “…..?”

Pop, the joy is gone.

He joined the family, joined only to be lonely?

Gu Jinmian was quite happy.

He actually wanted to see Yin Moshu often, but it was very inconvenient to go to Director Lin’s crew and act for the crew to see.

The crew of “The Gift of Time” misunderstood the relationship between him and Bai Xinyu, presumably also very troublesome.

The newly prepared crew of “On the Snow” didn’t know about his relationship with Yin Moshu, therefore he didn’t need to act. He’s pure and could be at ease on the crew.

Very pleased with myself.

However, first of all, Director Lin’s remaining scenes must be filmed.

Gu Jinmian became worried again, worried about the wound on Yin Moshu’s forehead.

Although the doctor told him not to worry, and that there should be no obvious scars.

But he’s an artist.

Don’t talk about movies, what about tomorrow’s fashion dinner party.

Gu Jinmian didn’t care about those fans any more, nor did he plan to let them go.

He handed over this matter to the almighty Secretary Gu. He said viciously, “If they don’t want to compensate, just sue them. If they are students, then you must keep their files!”

Secretary Gu’s work was solid, and did not engage in false lawyer’s letters.

He found the surveillance video on the side of the road at that time, not only posted it on Weibo but also made Yin Moshu a hot search. He sent the video to the school of several fans, a copy for the school leaders, a copy for the school forum.  At the same time, he sued them in court and demanded that they publicly apologize in their real names.

Fans who were still saying “Give me a lawyer’s letter” on the Internet one second later received notices from the school and the court, and the fans who were talked about by their classmates turned pale.

It was unknown what they have gone through in real life. Anyway, everyone posted a real-name apology video on Weibo, then their Weibo was never updated after that, and logged off after a short period of silence.

This behavior deterred many crazy fans. For a long time, there was never any excessive behavior by fans again, not just against Yin Moshu.

Gu Jinmian simply took a look at these things and didn’t think it was a big deal. What he was worried about was Yin Moshu’s participation in the fashion dinner party.

Shi Yi’s fashion dinner party was not only attended by people from S City, although she only initially invited friends from S City.

She played an important role in foreign fashion circles, not to mention domestically. When they heard that she was going to hold a fashion dinner party, people from the fashion and entertainment circles wanted to attend one after another.

As a result, the venue was expanded again and again, Shi Yi didn’t want to make it too commercial for this kind of private dinner party, thus she used their family’s reception villa from the first floor to the fourth floor.

****

Here was the best stylist, who was doing Yin Moshu’s makeup inside the room.

Gu Jinmian was waiting, this was Yin Moshu’s first time showing his face in front of many fashion bigwigs, it would be a shame if he failed to leave a good impression.

When Gu Jinmian was waiting worriedly, the door was opened from the inside, and he was stunned as soon as he looked up.

Yin Moshu’s right forehead was finally sutured, but it was sutured with cosmetic needles, the suture tension was small, and the scar was delicate. Even though it was only the second day, there was only a thin red scar extending from the right forehead to the corner of the right eye.

The stylist did not cover up this red scar at all, but used it as the theme to style Yin Moshu.

The theme was fierce and wild.

His hair was cut short, just above the red scar, and his eyebrows were raised and elongated that it almost intersected with the scar below. The ends of his eyes were deepened and emphasized, the eye cleft appeared longer, which made his eyes sharper.

The already tall nose bridge was more emotionally aggressive because of the shadows, and the thin lips that inherently had a cool and thin curvature.

Unlike other wild models who intentionally darkened their skin by a degree, Yin Moshu’s white skin remained unchanged, and his cold white complexion gave him a bit of a vampire family temperament.

In Gu Jinmian’s mind, a word suddenly popped up that he had forgotten where he saw it, Beast Gentleman.

He felt that this look must be the most suitable for Yin Moshu. How suitable was it, it’s so suitable that Gu Jinmian felt that Yin Moshu was like this deep down.

Gu Jinmian forgot to breathe, his face was dull but his eyes were moist and bright.

And Yin Moshu was also looking at him.

Gu Jinmian’s styling was completely done by Shi Yi.

Shi Yi’s thoughts were clear at a glance, the Little Prince.

Gu Jinmian’s hair, which was originally soft and slightly curly, was blown to make it softer and fluffier. Looking carefully, the hair in the middle of his forehead was blown into an indistinct heart shape.

There was no obvious makeup on the face, the facial features were more three-dimensional, and the eyelashes were curled, curly and long.

The only place where a little makeup could be seen was on the thin white eyelid between the ends of the eyes and the peak of the eyebrows, there was a layer of slight shimmer, like a crushed star.

Yin Moshu knew that it was the fine glitter of an eye shadow.

He also knew that eye shadow, because Shi Yi came here to ask for it from the makeup artist herself.

Pillow talk——Pillow talk.

Gu Jinmian recovered from Yin Moshu’s beauty, and realized that he was also looking at him, his eyes seemed to be shrouded by the night.

Gu Jinmian, who was already a little embarrassed, became very strange.

The base of his ears was a little hot, and the hotness spread slowly, his body seemed to be surrounded by the gentle and ambiguous night, becoming soft and light.

“Yin Moshu, you, you look great today.” Gu Jinmian said calmly.

“You too.” Yin Moshu looked at him and said, his voice sounding low.

Gu Jinmian unconsciously reached out to touch his hot and numb ears, and widened his eyes slightly.

After Yin Moshu noticed, he looked away and said with a smile, “Let’s go.”

Gu Jinmian let out an “Um”, and the two walked out the door together.

It was brightly lit from a distance outside the door, but it was still a little dark on a small path in the garden.

“Mianmian.”

Yin Moshu suddenly called out.

Gu Jinmian’s ears trembled. Many people called him Mianmian, but this was the first time Yin Moshu called him that.

In the dimly lit garden path, Gu Jinmian looked back at him under the light of the moonlight.

In the dim light and shadow, Yin Moshu approached him, bowed his head, and put a Titanic white rose that he snapped at some point inside his left chest pocket. (TL: Named after the famous ship, this is a garden rose with large, well shaped, creamy white flowers – a true classic. Titanic’s blooms are edged with blush pink and have a wonderful, strong fragrance.)

Soon he moved away, and the two continued walking quietly.

Gu Jinmian walked very calmly with his head held high and chest out, as if every step had been accurately measured.

The white rose pressed against the heart, and the thumping sound that the heart made, was clearly transmitted to the ears along with the pulsation in the hustle and silent night.

When he was about to step into the bright lights, Gu Jinmian finally lowered his head that had been raised all the time.

He glanced at the white rose.

Layers upon layers of petals of the Tannic white rose spread out like a skirt, where there was a drop of bright red blood on the thinnest white petal at the bottom.

I don’t know if it was left by the thorn of the rose piercing into a finger pulp.

Gu Jinmian opened his eyes wide, his breathing stagnated, and the blood flowing in the blood vessels slowly accelerated.

For Shi Yi’s dinner party, as expected, famous people in the circle, even bigwigs who had been hidden for many years, showed up.

Hang Yuanting was very happy, with excitement shining in his eyes.

He asked Ji Nan to help set the most difficult Haute Couture suit that he would put on for the first time today. (TL: high-end brand services, tailor-made clothing for customers according to customer requirements)

Necklaces, brooches, wristwatches, and cuffs were all carefully selected and could be luxurious works in an exhibition hall.

Among the people attending the dinner party, he was most afraid of confronting Yin Moshu, but he heard that Yin Moshu’s face was injured.

There are probably not many people who can steal his thunder tonight.

Dressed up, he got off the Rolls-Royce confidently, and under the guidance of the handsome brother in a black suit, he walked towards the brightly lit villa with Ji Nan.

“I think something’s wrong.” Ji Nan said with a frown.

“What’s wrong?” Hang Yuanting was only excited, and couldn’t hear his worry at all.

“Aunt Shi said she didn’t want to see me again, why is she still willing to let me come this time?”

Hang Yuanting was overwhelmed with excitement and was carried away, “The Gu family and the Ji family are family friends, besides, didn’t Shi Yi say that she was willing to help me build connections? Will she refuse if she’s invited you to come?”

Ji Nan still felt that something was wrong, but as soon as he entered the door, he immediately showed his best condition.

He grew up in a wealthy family, and he was accustomed to grand occasions. His posture was relaxed, elegant and decent, and he looked calm and composed from the inside out, which inevitably made people look at him more often.

When Hang Yuanting saw the scene inside the room, he was nervous for a moment.

This place was different from what he had imagined, not any of the celebration parties or entertainment company annual meetings he had attended.

The lights in the room were a few degrees darker than those outside the door. Under the dim light, everyone was as relaxed and at ease as friends gathering together.

Some people were sitting on the sofa chatting in twos and threes, a grandmother was wearing a scarf to resist the air conditioner, and was sitting on the sofa reading a book with reading glasses, there were also two people holding cameras discussing with each other in disbelief, and occasionally cursing.

They dress either formally or casually or weirdly, but they were all very harmonious with their own temperament, and there was no grand attire, especially no obviously expensive accessories. He was the only one who wanted to inlay diamonds on his body.

Trying too hard, that it seems a bit out of place.

Seeing them enter the door, several people looked over.

Inexplicably, Hang Yuanting felt inferior, but raised his chin even higher.

Seeing this, Ji Nan frowned.

Hang Yuanting was still standing there, as if waiting for someone to call his name to welcome him in, Ji Nan frowned even deeper, and was about to push him from behind.

Shi Yi walked down the stairs on the second floor, “Come on in, do we still need to applaud and welcome you?”

There were several undisguised laughs from all over the first floor.

Hang Yuanting bit his lip and stepped into the room.

He seemed to be unable to find a place to settle inside, standing here and there awkwardly.

Du Bai’an asked Bai Xinyu, “When I first came in, was it also……like this?”

He didn’t say it specifically, but Bai Xinyu understood, then he said, “Of course not, you look like a cute little rabbit.”

Du Bai’an: “………”

Bai Xinyu: “I really don’t understand what Ji Nan is thinking, not liking ‘home’ and instead liking Hang Yuanting.”

When a person from a small family comes out, they tend to appear as if they want to press everyone under their feet, making it even more unattractive.

When Ji Nan heard this sentence, he was unable to loosen his brows again.

At this moment, Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu came.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a whistle sounded inside the room.

“Baby!” Shi Yi’s voice made more people look up.

Looking up, one couldn’t help but shake their head.

The two men who entered were wearing gray suits of the same style.

One was lighter in color, with a white shirt underneath. His face was a bit dull, but his eyes were especially bright and beautiful. One could only find this pair after searching thousands of stars. When compared with each other, the combination of the two created a purity that was not familiar with the world.

The white rose on the chest was like the finishing touch, just like a little prince who grew up in the castle, which was amazing.

The other was wearing an iron-gray suit and a dark blue shirt. His figure was superb, his face was bold and fierce, and the movement of his eyelashes seemed to bring out a gust of wind. The red scar on his temple was like a tearing beauty.

Like a cheetah returning from battle with graceful strides.

The two had different styles, but standing together, there was a tension that was inherently harmonious and turbulent.

Ji Nan stared blankly, while Hang Yuanting bit his lip tightly.

There were several “clicks” in the room. 

The two photographers who were cursing each other just now picked up their cameras and aimed at them in unison.

“This is my precious son Gu Jinmian.” Seeing them appearing together, Shi Yi was as excited as a young girl, and openly said to most of the bigwigs in the fashion industry, “This is his boyfriend Yin Moshu.”

Gu Jinmian: “………”

My mother, what’s the difference between this and an open relationship?
