Chapter Fifty-Seven: Shuang Has Nothing to Say

  Song Lin Cang watched him walk away without looking back, feeling a bit resentful. She had originally thought that by attending his mother's birthday party, she would be able to spend more time with him, but it turned out that after dancing together for just one dance, they didn't have any further interactions.

  Zhong Yuchen arrived at the courtyard and found Hong Tang and Mu Xuyao waiting for him there.

  "It's been a long time since I've seen you dance, how was your passion release just now?" Hongtang asked.

  "What passion can be discussed with her... I'm going back, why don't you two go together?" Zhong Yuchen walked forward.

  "Come on, let's go together. After all, we're both old bachelors with nothing to do at home."

  Zhong Yuchen looked at them with a smile, "Keep...keep pretending..."

  Hongtang raised his hand, "I swear, he's telling the truth. We're old buddies. So, Second Master, tonight... can you take us in?"

  Zhong Yu Chen was too lazy to bother with him, "Go back wherever you came from."

  "There's no humanity in being abnormal." Hongtang walked towards his car, "Be careful tonight, that little beauty of yours has thin arms and legs like a wooden stake, I'm really worried. How about this, Second Master? Why don't I go to the monitoring room instead? If you're not up to it, I can take over for you."

  Zhong Yuchen glanced at him and said, "If you think you've lived too long, you can do it this way."

  “………”

  Mù Xù Yáo got on the bus and sat quietly, thinking about Hóng Táng's words. His heart was like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

  He had thought about who would be together between them, but now that Hongtang has said so, the scenes he didn't dare to think about for these few days suddenly popped into his mind, and no matter how hard he tried to erase them, they wouldn't go away.

  He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that no one had answered for a long time. This time, the call went straight to voicemail.

  Put down the phone, Mu Xueyao's hands were tightly clasped together, and the things that had been deliberately suppressed in her heart surged out quietly.

  Zhong Yuchen arrived home with a small plastic bag in his hand, containing an iced milk tea with a straw inserted.

  He trudged up the stairs with his bag, pushed open the door, and found her sitting on the bed, intently staring at a thick book in her hands. Seeing him return, she put down the book, hastily took over the milk tea, threw the small plastic bag into the trash can, and started drinking without any elegance.

  He took a big gulp and drank it all down.

  "Tastes good, icy cold, drinking a glass of iced beverage on a summer evening is absolutely refreshing."

  Zhong Yuchen watched her doing flips on the bed and said, "Be careful not to spit out the milk tea you just drank."

  She gave him a sly smile and patted her own belly, "No way, I only allow it to enter my mouth, I don't allow it to go in and out of my mouth."

  "What's going on?"

  Shu Xiao Ai picked up the thick book and flipped to the cover page, saying, "See this? This is a self-study acting tutorial. Although I'm just an extra, once I entered this line of work, I have to take it seriously. Otherwise, every time something goes wrong because of me, I feel really sorry for everyone."

  "Is your dream to become a very famous female star?"

  "I never thought about it, now I mainly think about making more money and letting my family live a better life."

  He leaned in close to her, his lips almost touching hers. "I'll show you a way to make money quickly, do you want to take it?"

  "I'd never sell out."

  He smiled coldly and said, "You're just a silly girl. If I don't give you money, you won't sleep with me. If I do give you money, you still won't. Why not?"
