Chapter 5#
Hiding a Story#
The disappearance of happiness always comes so unexpectedly.
It might be because of a small cookie that accidentally falls on the ground, or it might be because of a plain and unremarkable phone call.
Mo Xuzhi fell into deep thought.
What’s meant to come will always come; this plot point has finally unfolded.
This dating variety show is the beginning of Shen Le’s official entry into the entertainment industry, and also the start of Mo Xuzhi being “face-slapped” by Shen Le.
In this variety show, he would try to force intimacy with Luo Wenyun and forcibly please him. However, Luo Wenyun would only be thinking about pursuing Shen Le, making the relationship between the three of them the show’s biggest selling point.
The show’s ratings would skyrocket, and he would be cursed at so much that his Weibo would gain nearly a million followers overnight—all of them coming to curse him. Shen Le would also use this momentum to fire the first shot and make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
As for why a Movie Star like Luo would condescend to join a dating show, or how a commoner like Shen Le could bypass numerous artists to successfully participate in this program, none of it was important.
If you asked, it was the “compelling force” of the novel.
What was important was that in this program, he would actively climb into Luo Wenyun’s bed, losing all face in front of numerous cameras.
Losing face wasn’t important either.
What gave Mo Xuzhi a headache was that the novel’s author seemed to only care about their own satisfaction and completely lacked logical reasoning for the plot. Something like climbing into a bed might seem simple, but in reality, the feasibility was extremely low.
Setting aside the omnipresent staff, just dealing with Luo Wenyun’s group of assistants would be enough for him to handle.
Climbing into bed under these circumstances was about as difficult as washing one’s hair while doing a handstand, with a side of doing the splits.
Mo Xuzhi threw himself onto the bed.
“Just let me die.”
Rubbing his hair, Mo Xuzhi buried his entire face in the pillow and began to take deep breaths.
Knock, knock—
The sound of knocking blended with Mo Xuzhi’s voice.
A reflexive “Come in” popped out of Mo Xuzhi.
The nurse who had knocked also opened the door.
The sunlight was great, and the air was fresh.
The scene for a moment made Mo Xuzhi feel a bit “intellectually extinguished.”
Standing at the door were the nurse and Luo Wenyun, whom he had just seen on his phone.
The nurse was in her professional uniform, looking decent.
Luo Wenyun wore a white shirt with two buttons undone, his leather shoes polished to a shine, as clean and elegant as ever.
He himself was in a hospital gown, with messy hair and a somewhat strange posture.
He didn’t need to look to guess what kind of image he projected.
“Xuzhi, is your injury better?”
Luo Wenyun took a step forward, inconspicuously blocking the gaze of the nurse who was blushing and staring at Mo Xuzhi. His expression was concerned, but his eyes were dark and rippleless.
The youth on the bed looked like he had just woken up, his fine soft hair slightly messy, his eyes carrying a rare look of daze. A section of his slender waist revealed under the large hospital gown emitted a faint, lustrous glow.
Was he acting for him on purpose again this time?
Luo Wenyun carefully scrutinized Mo Xuzhi’s expression, momentarily unsure.
Mo Xuzhi had been like this before.
As soon as Mo Xuzhi touched him, he would lift his shirt, only to put it down expressionlessly and leave after showing just a bit of his belly.
This was repeated many times.
Luo Wenyun couldn’t figure out what Mo Xuzhi meant by this and had asked him directly not long ago.
At that time, Mo Xuzhi had a serious face: “Can’t you tell? I’m seducing you.”
Luo Wenyun really hadn’t been able to tell.
After that, he had a few more interactions with Mo Xuzhi. He then confirmed that although Mo Xuzhi’s behavior seemed extremely perfunctory, he really was seducing him.
If he was doing it this time, it was Mo Xuzhi’s most natural performance yet.
Luo Wenyun leisurely turned his wristwatch, his slender eyelids lifting slightly as he watched Mo Xuzhi’s “strenuous” performance.
