Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 40.2 He’s drunk

Editor: Jodi

Lu Xiao washed up quickly and came out from the bathroom in about ten minutes.

Shen Ci quickly helped him to his bed, “Let me dry your hair.”

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the seemingly sober yet gentle smile appeared on Lu Xiao’s face again.

There was silence between the two as Shen Ci dried his hair obediently, his heart still in a state of shock.

When he was almost done drying, he went to get the hairdryer to give him a quick blow dry, then rushed to get hangover soup for him, providing top-notch service.

“Little uncle, you should rest early.”

Shen Ci, for the first time ever, didn’t ask to sleep together and even helped Lu Xiao settle under the covers before turning to leave.

It was all because of that small test from Qin Yun, plus his strange reaction earlier… Shen Ci’s mind was in a turmoil– he needed to sort things out.

However just as he was about to leave, his hand was grabbed by Lu Xiao.

“Xiao Ci.” Lu Xiao casually pulled him into his arms, holding Shen Ci’s slender waist perfectly.

He buried his face in Shen Ci’s waist and inhaled deeply, his voice low, magnetic, as if trying to seduce, “Why don’t you sleep with me tonight?”

Shen Ci: “?”

He stiffened all over, trying to break free, “Uh, maybe not…”

But Lu Xiao rolled him over and lay down, pulling him tightly into his arms, preventing any resistance. “Xiao Ci, goodnight….”

With Lu Xiao’s warm breath that was tainted with alcohol that sprinkled on the back of his neck, Shen Ci felt like he was going to collapse. What the hell was this turning into!

How the tables had turned! Shen Ci never expected that he would be the one forced into bed by Lu Xiao!

Shen Ci now deeply regretted not exercising his arm strength properly, otherwise, he could have just picked Lu Xiao up and thrown him out with one hand….

Unable to break free, he could only nestle in Lu Xiao’s arms obediently, wanting to cry but having no tears.

However he soon found the sense of security he felt when he was a child whenever Lu Xiao held him returning, and sleep came faster than usual….

Early morning, 5:30.

Frowning, Lu Xiao opened his eyes, his vacant gaze quickly clearing.

He had a slight headache, probably from last night’s drinking.

In order to negotiate with those old foxes, his so-called relatives from the Lu family, he had actually gotten drunk for the first time.

Luckily, he was no different when drunk, making it hard for others to tell, otherwise he would’ve been taken advantage of by those old foxes.

He tried to sit up, but found his arm pinned down, with something soft in his arms.

He froze for a moment, then looked down to see Shen Ci still asleep.

Lu Xiao: “…..”

He couldn’t remember what happened last night, only vaguely recalling Shen Ci waiting for him to come home.

But how did they end up sleeping on the same bed…..

He lifted the covers silently, and seeing Shen Ci’s intact sleeping pants, he sighed in relief but also felt a hint of disappointment.

Shen Ci, feeling a bit cold, frowned and hummed a few times in his sleep, then reached out for him.

So Lu Xiao had no other choice than to lie back in his original position, then obediently let Shen Ci hold him around the waist.

Shen Ci snuggled closer contentedly, causing Lu Xiao to stiffen all over, a hint of sweat forming on the tip of his nose.

He tried to rationalize in his mind, reminding himself not to act impulsively and to not stir up trouble….

Then Shen Ci who was deep in sleep lifted one leg and draped it over his waist, cuddling even tighter.

Lu Xiao’s adam’s apple bobbed up and down fiercely: “….”

This little guy, was he doing it on purpose?

He didn’t dare move, afraid to disturb his baby’s sleep.

Then after a while, he sighed and reached for his phone.

“I’ll be late today.”

Special Assistant Min on the other end of the line found it somewhat unbelievable: “…. Okay.”

The workaholic President, who was always rigidly punctual no matter what, was actually going to be late?

He probably would have never imagined that it was becauseLu Xiao was staying to accompany a little friend to sleep…..

As for the awkward situation when Shen Ci woke up, that was a story for another time.

This was just a little incident, and afterwards, Lu Xiao and Shen Ci returned to their normal interactions, but Shen Ci never dared to ask Lu Xiao for a hug or to sleep together again.

The filming went smoothly, and a week later, Shen Ci faced one of the scenes he least wanted to film.

Torrential rain poured down as the female lead searched in the rain for the bracelet the male lead had given her.

And as her little brother, Shen Ci had to intercept her and have a heart-to-heart talk.

Winter, outdoor scenes, and rain!

This was really sacrificing for art.

However Qin Yun was quite optimistic, saying that as long as she could make money, it didn’t matter what they filmed.

Even the girl didn’t have much objection, so no matter how unwilling, Shen Ci had to grit his teeth and tough it out.

The director seized the moment, holding a megaphone as he shouted, “Action!”

Shen Ci ran towards the rain curtain made by the props team, pushing through anxiously as he shouted, “Sis!”

Qin Yun looked up, also anxious. “What are you doing here? It’s raining so heavily, go back!”

Shen Ci approached angrily, then they began arguing…

Both of them had been quite afraid of this wintery wet scene, and so had rehearsed it privately four to five times already.

So now that they were really in action, they were as comfortable as fish in water.

Their back-and-forth was so intense and splendid that it was without any flaws.

“Cut!”

As soon as the director called, before the script supervisor could close the slate, the staff and assistants who had been waiting eagerly swarmed in.

“Quick, wipe Xiao Ci, hey, don’t push me!”

“Teacher Qin, here’s your towel!”

“Where’s the down jacket? Hurry up and bring it over!”

“….”

Shen Ci shivered with cold, his teeth chattering.

Brother Zhang wrapped him in a large towel immediately, leaving only his head exposed.

Then he quickly turned to hand him another towel, but when he turned back, he saw that Lin Wan had already come over and covered Shen Ci’s wet hair with a towel, rubbing it gently.

He asked softly, “Are you still cold now?”

Shen Ci wasn’t able to react as he looked at Brother Zhang blankly: “Uh…”

Brother Zhang’s hands froze, then out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Wan’s assistant who had been scolded by him before picking up his phone again.

Again?

With a “tsk”, Brother Zhang slapped his phone to the ground rudely. “What the hell are you filming!”

His sudden outburst startled those around him, and the other staff, seeing Brother Zhang’s unusually cold and serious expression, felt too intimidated to say anything and continued to bow their heads, pretending not to notice as they kept busy.

The assistant Xiao Yu quickly picked the phone up, muttered “Sorry” under his breath, then run away.

Brother Zhang stared at his retreating figure, his expression dark.

He escorted Shen Ci, who was wrapped up tightly to the rest area and brewed a cup of tea for him. “Take a rest. I’ll make a call first then send you home.”

Shen Ci held the hot tea, nodding obediently.

Brother Zhang pushed the door open, and because he left in a hurry, it didn’t close properly, causing it to widen slowly.

The wind blowing in made it a bit chilly, so Shen Ci had to wrap himself in a towel to go close it.

Then he heard the murmurs outside vaguely.

“Did you see the hot search? They usually don’t seem to get along well. I think it’s a bit fake.”

“But Brother Zhang’s reaction was so intense! Do you think they’re actually together, but pretending not to get along in public, and Brother Zhang found out?”

“Hey, you make a good point…”

“…..”

Frowning, Shen Ci closed the door and returned to the sofa.

He immediately opened his phone to check, and even before the hot search loaded, he had a sense of foreboding.

And sure enough, there was already a hot search with the title, “Shen Ci and Lin Wan intimate, suspected underground romance” trending at the top.
