Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 67.2

Editor: Princess

After finishing body movement class, Shen Ci felt like his energy had been drained by a fox spirit as he walked out listlessly.

Brother Zhang, waiting at the door, supported the little salted fish quickly, laughing helplessly: “You’ve been taking classes for so long, yet you still look like it’s your first day?”

Shen Ci hung on him dejectedly: “I have no foundation, so of course I get tired…”

The elevator door opened. Brother Zhang half-dragged, half-carried him inside but hadn’t pressed the floor button when they heard someone outside shouting, “Wait, wait!”

Brother Zhang had no choice but to hold the door.

Rapid footsteps approached, and a handsome young man wearing a baseball cap ran into the elevator, flashing an apologetic smile at the two: “Thanks, bro!”

The man had a high bridge nose and deep-set eyes, clearly having Caucasian blood.

Yet he spoke in extremely awkward Mandarin with a distinct Northeastern accent, thoroughly confusing Shen Ci.

Brother Zhang whispered in Shen Ci’s ear: “Probably a jointly-trained artist sent by Diamond Entertainment. French, maybe?”

Shen Ci nodded reluctantly. Diamond Entertainment was Wen Ran’s company—could this be the person Lu Xiao and Wen Ran had discussed that day?

The handsome Frenchman was extremely friendly, staring at Shen Ci and attempting conversation: “Little baby, you’re really eye-catching.”

The sugary “little baby” made Shen Ci’s skin crawl. He smiled awkwardly: “You’re much more handsome than me. That nose and physique are enviable!”

Hearing this, the Frenchman elegantly flipped his semi-long golden curls: “Of course. I’m super handsome.”

“…” Shen Ci was speechless.

Sure enough, he couldn’t adjust to foreigners’ directness. Mutual professional flattery was much better.

The foreigner, delighted at being complimented, immediately threw an arm around Shen Ci’s shoulders: “Baby, are you also an artist at Yunxiao Entertainment? Then we’re colleagues from now on. Just call me Zhen Da!”

Shen Ci was startled by the sudden familiarity: “What? Zhen Da?”

What kind of weird name was that? Foreigners were so strange.

Zhen Da’s lips curved into a mischievous smile: “Little baby is quite open-minded. You can guess where I’m big yourself.”

Shen Ci suddenly fell silent, choosing to exit the elevator.

Brother Zhang squeezed between them, trying to remove the handsome man’s long arm, smiling cordially: “Handsome guy, it’s best not to mess around with people.”

Sky-blue eyes flashed with playful charm: “What’s wrong? Can’t even chat?”

Ding—

The elevator opened.

Lu Xiao’s car was parked directly across from the elevator, and the window was already rolled down, perfectly capturing the bizarre scene of the three tangled together.

“…” He helplessly opened the car door helplessly, then immaculate black leather shoes stepped onto the ground slowly, producing elegant, steady taps that echoed through the parking garage.

Tall and slender with a straight back, broad shoulders, and narrow waist, his long legs took just one stride to convey extraordinary grace.

Zhen Da stared at Lu Xiao, transfixed. His arm lost strength, allowing Shen Ci to quickly slip away. Brother Zhang escaped too.

“Little Uncle.” Shen Ci walked several quick steps on wobbly legs, nearly tripping, but Lu Xiao swiftly caught him.

Lu Xiao pinched his cheek, lowering his gaze to remind him gently: “Be careful.”

Shen Ci giggled: “Let’s go home quickly. We’re visiting my parents tonight to see the puppies. We shouldn’t be late.”

“Wait!” Zhen Da caught up quickly, looking admiringly at Lu Xiao: “You must be Lu Xiao! I’ve long admired you! Thanks to your cooperation with my boss, I can develop my career in C Country!”

He extended his hand for a handshake eagerly, however Lu Xiao merely gave a polite, indifferent smile, turning away from him disinterestedly to fix Shen Ci’s messy hair.

Lu Xiao was coldly dismissive, but this didn’t deter the romantic Frenchman.

His face showed satisfied admiration: “As expected of my idol, so elegant and cool!”

The foreigner’s beautiful blue eyes sparkled transparently, filled with passionate pink bubbles for Lu Xiao. He even consciously suppressed his Northeastern accent.

Shen Ci felt a sudden sense of crisis and quickly grabbed Lu Xiao’s arm, shaking it: “Let’s go! If we’re any later, my family will be asleep, and we won’t get to see our babies today.”

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly as he took his hand cooperatively.

“Alright.”

“You, you two have a son?!” Zhen Da’s voice suddenly rose as he stepped back several paces.

Shen Ci put his hands on his hips smugly, raising his chin: “Yes, three actually.”

“Three…” Zhen Da choked, looking shocked. Had C Country’s technology advanced to such a degree?!

But he quickly processed his emotions, his gaze becoming even more fervent: “That’s fine. If your small frame can handle three kids, then I can give my idol thirty!”

Shen Ci: ???

He vigilantly hugged Lu Xiao’s arm and began an emergency retreat.

However just then the sound of an approaching engine grew increasingly clear. A flashy Koenigsegg supercar sped into the parking lot, raising slight dust, causing Shen Ci to wave away non-existent smoke.

The car stopped, and the driver removed his sunglasses, whistling at the group.

“Ha, didn’t expect to pick someone up and run into President Lu and the little beauty? What a coincidence.”

That familiar irritating voice… why was Wen Ran here?

First making Lu Xiao jealous, then the receptionist issue, and now this foreigner hitting on Lu Xiao… all somehow connected to him.

With recent grudges piling up, Shen Ci couldn’t suppress his rising anger, his face reddening.

Wen Ran smiled mischievously: “Oh my, why is the little beauty staring at me so intently? Your face is all red, did big brother’s handsomeness excite you?”

Shen Ci flexed his fingers before clenching them tightly into a fist, producing crisp knuckle cracks.

Shen Ci gritted his teeth: “Yes, I’m excited alright, my fists are excited.”
