Cen Bai turned around and smiled. His mole was filled with charm. “Let’s go.”
Let’s go…
Qin Shuang gulped. “Why… why should I go with you…”
Cen Bai stopped at the entrance of the washroom and turned to look at her with a smile. “So I could do a rehearsal with you.”
Qin Shuang: “!!!!”
She jumped up from the sofa and ran to the bathroom. “No, no need. I… I can just use a body double!”
She was filming a huge movie with a risque theme.
There were a few bed scenes included, and they were very exacting. Hence, when they signed the contract, they had agreed that the actors could use a body double. However, the kissing scene had to be filmed with their faces shown. That was non-negotiable.
Unfortunately, just as she reached the bathroom door, she saw Cen Bai reach out and block the door frame. He looked at her with a faint smile. “But if you haven’t experienced it personally, I’m afraid you won’t be able to understand the character’s psychology. I’ll let you immerse yourself in the role.”
Qin Shuang: “…”
As she listened to the sound of water flowing from the bathroom, Qin Shuang’s legs turned weak. She coughed and turned around to pack her things. She threw items into her huge bag and picked it up to run out. “Hubby, I suddenly remembered that there’s something on with the production team. I’ll leave first!”
Unfortunately, just as she reached the door, Cen Bai, who had rushed over, grabbed her arm and carried her to the bathroom. “Experiencing a role is also a big deal.”
“…”
…
In the hospital.
After a series of checks, they confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Zheng Zhi’s voice. He simply could not make a sound for no apparent reason. At this moment, he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
Because! Though he was not sick, he could not speak. There could only be a psychological reason behind it.
The psychiatrist said, “You must have been under a lot of pressure recently. Young people should rest more. It’s not good to think too much. Just take it one step at a time. Why worry too much?”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
Pressure, my a.s.s!
He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he could not make a sound.
Jing Fei smiled at the side. “Yes, Son. I think you should rest for a while. Anyway, you haven’t used up your annual leave.”
Zheng Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and pointed at his throat. “I’m fine.”
Unfortunately, Jing Fei, who could read his lips, deliberately said, “You said you agree? Fine, I’ll help you report to Boss!”
Zheng Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he did not mean that!
Jing Fei smiled. “d.a.m.n, we’re brothers. No, we’re father and son. What’s there to be embarra.s.sed about if I help you? Don’t stand on ceremony!”
Zheng Zhi: “!!!”
He was really infuriated by Jing Fei.
However, the more anxious he was, the more he could not speak. This was very strange.
There was no one in the special department with the power to silence people, so the two of them did not think in this direction at all. Zheng Zhi was exasperated and wanted to say that that was not what he meant. Don’t misunderstand me!
Jing Fei clearly understood what he was saying, but he pretended not to. “Son, don’t stand on ceremony. However, Son, I think you can’t speak because you offended Sister Xi.”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
Jing Fei looked around and approached him. “Have you ever thought about what you were doing before these two instances when you suddenly could not speak?”
What?
Of course, he was scolding Xue Xi.
But what did this have to do with Xue Xi?
Zheng Zhi did not believe this and sneered. He picked up his phone and typed: Impossible.
This time, Jing Fei could not twist his meaning, so he waved his hand and said, “Why don’t you praise Sister Xi and see if that would allow you to make a sound?!”
Zheng Zhi sneered again and typed: Impossible. Don’t make me laugh.
Jing Fei: “Just give it a try. It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Zheng Zhi shook his head and stood up to leave.
After parting with Jing Fei and going back home, however, the more Zheng Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Should he give it a try?
What should he praise Xue Xi for?
Should he praise her for being a vixen and shamelessly seducing the Boss?
Cough.
Zheng Zhi had to admit that Xue Xi was beautiful enough.
Hence, he cleared his throat and held back his unwillingness. “Xue Xi is so beautiful.”
He still could not utter these words.
Zheng Zhi instantly felt that he had been led astray by Jing Fei. He actually believed his nonsense and thought that he could really speak after praising Xue Xi?
How could there be such a metaphysical thing in the world?!
Ha.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Zheng Zhi subconsciously shouted, “Who?”
A voice came from outside. “Delivery.”
“Oh,” Zheng Zhi replied. He walked to the door and received the parcel. When he closed the door, he suddenly realized that he could speak just now?
He could actually speak?!
What did he say before he could speak?
It seemed to be… “Xue Xi is so beautiful”?
Zheng Zhi was completely stunned. He held his throat in disbelief and said, “Is Xue Xi amazing?”
When he heard his voice, he could not help but curse in his heart: F*ck!
…
At the same time, Xue Xi was discharged and sent back to school by Xiang Huai.
On the way, she received an email from Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi’s att.i.tude was very respectful. “h.e.l.lo, Mr. X. You said that you were going to be busy, so you will be reporting to the special department at a later date. May I ask if you are done with your work now? Can our superpower monitoring system be activated?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She thought about it and realized that the school’s matters had indeed come to an end. She could go and help. After all, as a member of the special department, she could not do nothing. Hence, she replied with one word: “Yes.”
Following that, he received Zheng Zhi’s reply: “Mr. X, I’ll arrange for someone to do a private docking.”
The respectful tone in his voice made Xue Xi feel that Zheng Zhi was rarely so cute.
Xue Xi exited her mailbox. Just as she was about to put down her phone, she realized that Zheng Zhi had sent her a WeChat message: “Xue Xi, Hacker X will come to the special department’s internet department to work. The internet department is very safe and doesn’t need to do any fieldwork. It’s very suitable for a highly educated student like you. Your awakened special power is useless and your mental strength is so weak. Stay in this department and do some civilian work!
“Also, you won’t feel bored. Hacker X is an international hacker who was even praised by Boss. If you follow him, if you can learn even one-tenth of what he knows, it will be enough to make you enjoy the work! This is a good opportunity. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Learn a tenth from him?
She lowered her eyes and ignored him. Instead, she put down her phone.
Just as she put it down, she looked up again and saw Xiang Huai staring ahead and driving seriously. His eyes were deep and she did not know what was in his mind.
Xue Xi asked, “What are you thinking?”
“Oh.” Xiang Huai turned to look at her. There was a smile in his voice, but his tone was a little frivolous. “I’m thinking about where to go tomorrow.”
“…Anywhere.”
Xiang Huai smiled. “Then I’ll arrange it. However, there’s something I need to ask.”
“What?”
“Little kid, shall we play with balloons tomorrow?”
Xue Xi: “…”
