Yan Su couldnât argue with him. He seemed to be right.
She felt that he was acting a little weird though. âWhy do you want to go out for barbecue so much?â
âBecause the weather is nice and itâs getting cold soon. Who would go out then? Besides, Iâm about to start working with the film crew.â Mo Liuxi made himself sound very reasonable. âDonât you wanna relax a little? Can you come up with any good lyrics staying home every day?â
Yan Su thought for a moment, then agreed. âYou have to make sure there wonât be any scandal about us.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm not silly. My film is gonna start shooting soon. Creating a scandal now will ruin my own reputation too. Donât forget that I helped you before. I donât want the others to know that we know each other either.â
Hearing that, Yan Su finally stopped worrying and went back to her flat.
...
On Friday, Yan Su was sitting in Mo Liuxiâs sports car. They were going out for barbecue. She had no idea where they were heading and fell asleep as soon as she got into the car. When she woke up, she found herself in a suburb area, next to a clear river.
âIsnât this North Mountain? You drove all the way here?â Yan Su clicked her tongue. North Mountain was at least an hour and a half from her apartment.
âEmm.â Mo Liuxi nodded. âWhat did you do last night? You slept all the way.â
âI was talking to brother Yunyang about the theme song.â Yan Su rubbed her eyes and said, âHeâs amazing. We have a lot to talk about, and I learned a lot from him.â
As she just woke up, her voice was as soft as water. The words âbrother Yunyangâ escaped her lips with a sweet, intimate tone.
Mo Liuxi wasnât happy to hear that. âHow long have you guys known each other? How can you call him âbrotherâ already? Besides, heâs twenty years older than you. You should call him âuncleâ, shouldnât you?â
Yan Su sighed. âWho likes to be called that nowadays? That would be offensive.â
âPeople should accept their real age,â said Mo Liuxi blandly. âYou need to be careful when youâre working with him. I heard the more serious a man looks, the more lascivious and twisted he could be.â
Yan Suâs eyes widened and she stared at him.
Mo Liuxi looked straight ahead and continued while driving. âDidnât you say the entertainment circle is complicated?â
âI am aware of that. You donât need to remind me of it.â Yan Su lowered her head to look at her phone.
The roads in that area involved a lot of bends. After spending a while looking at her phone, Yan Su felt a little dizzy and wanted to throw up.
When they arrived at the destination, she almost crawled out of the car. Her face was ghastly pale. She felt sick but couldnât vomit.
âYou shouldnât look at your phone while the car is moving.â Mo Liuxi found a bag of ginger from the car and handed it to Yan Su. He then took out a folding chair from the trunk and opened it for her to sit on. âJust sit here and have some fruit.â
Yan Su felt guilty. âLet me rest a little. Iâll start the fire once I feel better.â
âNo need. Youâll do the barbecue later, and Iâll do the preparation work.â Mo Liuxi took out the grill and started a charcoal fire.
He had done that type of work since he was little, so it didnât take him long to set the charcoal on fire. As he had his back to Yan Su, he deliberately wiped his face with his hands which were stained by charcoal. As he turned back, Yan Su who was eating a mango hurriedly dropped the mango and said to him, âYour face is dirty.â
âYeah?â Mo Liuxi lowered his head and wiped his left cheek with his sleeve.
âThe other side.â Yan Su reminded him.
Mo Liuxi started wiping the other side of his face, but never really touched the dirty area.
âCome here and let me help you.â Yan Su couldnât bear to watch.
âAlright.â Mo Liuxi walked over to her and squatted before her. His eyes contained a faint smile. The sunlight poured onto his fair skin. His pretty face was glamorous as ever, and those stains added adorableness to it.
