Chapter 27.2 Son, you need to be more careful!
Min Song looked at the message on her phone, “You have added Coca-Cola Baked Sea Urchin, you can start chatting now” and a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
After meeting with the teenager just now, Min Song couldn’t quite put into words what she was feeling. She just found him very familiarly comfortable and it was the first time she had felt this way about someone.
Actually, Min Song was also wondering why she had impulsively given him her business card earlier. Maybe it was because she was too eager to get closer to him?
But… what should they chat about?
Min Song was distressed. She had spent most of her life living with her workaholic and emotionally distant father and her education had been handled by private tutors, so her experience with regular emotional interactions was close to zero.
She could put on a show in front of strangers but when it came to making genuine friends…
She was out of ideas so she asked her agent who was driving, “Lisa, how do you start a conversation with a guy you want to get closer to?”
The artist van swerved, then she hit the brakes hard, narrowly avoiding a collision with the roadside railing.
Min Song was almost strangled by her seatbelt when her agent turned to her in shock, “You’re at the peak of your career, how can you… ai forget it, if you really like him, I’ll give you some advice.”
“Just send him the four letters ‘nmsl’, which means ‘What are you busy with?’ It’s a good conversation starter.”
Min Song: “….. Do you really think I don’t surf the internet?”

“For your birthday this year, will you also be having a party at Uncle Lu’s vacation estate?” Wei Shuo bumped into Shen Ci’s shoulder and asked.
Yang Ning, who was in the middle of packing, brightened up: “What! My idol is having a birthday party!”
Wei Shuo, unable to bear it, shivered, “Can’t you f*cking talk normally?”
Yang Ning ignored him and looked at Shen Ci with starry eyes: “Can I come too?”
“Of course, no problem at all.” Shen Ci smiled. He had long grown accustomed to Yang Ning’s girlish tone, but Wei Shuo seemed to be extremely averse to it.
Shen Ci’s birthday miraculously fell on the same day as Lu Xiao’s, and they always celebrated together.
In the past, he used to have more friends and would host a birthday party every year. It was unclear when Lu Xiao mentioned that they could celebrate at his vacation estate, but from then on, Shen Ci’s birthday had always been celebrated there every year.
This year, Lu Xiao hadn’t mentioned it in advance, so most likely they were following their usual tradition.
Yang Ning had called Shen Ci over, mainly to show off how good he looked today and to hear some sweet compliments from his idol before posting online.
He had also made plans to meet a lyricist for coffee, so he didn’t stay for too long.
When Shen Ci and Wei Shuo returned to the cocktail party, there were still many people present. This time, Shen Ci had learned his lesson and didn’t dare to drink any beverages, only eating the food that many others had already tried.
“You’re… Shen Ci?” A stranger’s voice came from behind and Shen Ci turned around, confused. Was this a fan?
The man was tall and handsome, with a faint air of familiarity. Seeing Shen Ci’s bewildered expression, he smiled and introduced himself, “I’m Lin Wan, also an actor.”
“Oh, you were the third male lead in that sweet romance drama that got roasted last year, right? Why are you butting into our conversation?”
Wei Shuo laughed, his tone sarcastic.
Lin Wan didn’t expect him to speak so bluntly and harshly, and his face changed instantly.
However he still forced a smile in the end, “I just want to make friends with Shen Ci.”
Shen Ci scratched his head. Why were so many people interested in getting to know him today?
“Would you like a drink? This is a glass of wine I poured specially for you.” Lin Wan handed him a glass of red wine, his eyes showing a hint of affection and seduction.
Shen Ci hesitated, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze. He shook his head, “Sorry, I’m allergic to alcohol.”
Lin Wan’s hand hesitated, and he awkwardly withdrew the glass, “I see. I’ve offended you then.”
“If you know you’ve offended him why aren’t you leaving already?” Wei Shuo said with a heavy tone and seeing that Lin Wan still hadn’t moved, he simply pulled Shen Ci away.
Just now he was only half-joking in front of Yang Ning, but now he seemed to be really angry.
They walked quite a distance before Wei Shuo stopped, reached out and shook the shoulders of his foolish son, “Son, you need to be more careful! Should I say you’re smart or just plain foolish! That guy clearly had bad intentions, so don’t even give him a second glance from now on! Fortunately you weren’t stupid enough to take the drink. It was probably spiked with something”
Shen Ci: “… You just said Yang Ning also had bad intentions.”
Wei Shuo choked on his words, “How could that be the same? Anyway, just stay away from that guy in the future!”
Wei Shuo had a better sense of people than Shen Ci, so Shen Ci nodded heavily, choosing to trust him unconditionally.

Lu Xiao hadn’t returned for a while, and Shen Ci was getting a bit restless, so after informing Wei Shuo, he went to find a quieter place.
If Lu Xiao wasn’t busy with work, maybe he was seeking some solitude?
Shen Ci wasn’t entirely sure, but he had time to spare, so he decided to look around. He left through the back door of the venue and headed to the hotel’s outdoor courtyard.
To his surprise, through the noisy angelic fountain, he really caught sight of a faintly familiar figure.
Lu Xiao was standing alone in a corner, quietly smoking a cigarette, with a faint haze of smoke enveloping him. The dim, cold light from above cast a lonely aura around him, like an unapproachable statue.
Sigh, why is he smoking again?
He was just about to go over when he saw a figure in a white shirt move even faster than him. This person had a clear target and rushed forward, then tripping “carelessly” in front of Lu Xiao, threw themselves into his arms–
Shen Ci: “?!”
