”What’s going on now? You can’t just wander around the streets. Go back now. Be careful not to get blocked by other people if you don’t cover yourself up.”
Lin Xingjiao thought about what had just happened and finally listened to Li Rui and canceled the taxi order.
After getting in the car, Lin Xingjiao sat in the car and thought seriously about what he could do to repay Lu Qi. After he traveled through the book, Lu Qi treated him well. On the contrary, he had slept with Lu Qi because he was afraid of being exposed because he misunderstood that his original body and Lu Qi were really secretly married and had a good relationship. As a result, he caused his live broadcast to fail. Now Lu Qi asked Li Rui to help him.
Lin Xingjiao wondered if he could do something to repay Lu Qi, so he asked Li Rui, “Does it matter if I’m going to be on a variety show with him later?”
”It’s okay. Brother Lu rarely appears on variety shows. He was busy filming before. If the response is good, he might consider becoming a permanent guest.”
It was hard to tell whether it was important or not, so Lin Xingjiao asked again, “How much money did the last show cost?”
Li Rui remembered that Lin Xingjiao was also going to join in: “It’s good that you don’t throw yourself at him. As for Brother Lu…”
Li Rui reported a number and Lin Xingjiao opened his mouth. It seemed like a lot, just a little less than his company’s monthly profit, but that was only for one period.
Lin Xingjiao decided that he would work hard to help Lu Qi get this long-term “job”. Didn’t Lu Qi say that they wanted to hype up a couple? He would definitely try his best to cooperate with him.
Not long after, Lin Xingjiao returned to Lu Qi’s villa and saw that aunt had not yet finished watering the flowers around her.
Lin Xingjiao felt that it was hard to be under the scorching sun. In addition to being afraid, he might have had a bit of heat stroke. His lips were still pale. He asked, “Why don’t you install an automatic sprinkler?”
”Oh, that.” Li Rui and Lin Xingjiao watched Aunt Meng watering the plants together. “Aunt Meng likes to take care of these. Brother Lu said he wanted to install them before, but Aunt Meng didn’t agree.”
”Brother Lu was raised by Aunt Meng when he was a child. He couldn’t resist and just followed her.”
Lin Xingjiao nodded. No wonder Aunt Meng was so natural when she asked for directions for him. Isn’t this just like the aunt who took care of him in his family before? She is like a half-relative to him.
Aunt Meng rushed over with a water pipe when she saw them coming back. The first thing she saw was Lin Xingjiao’s pale face, with heartache written all over her face. The second thing she saw was Lu Qi coming down the stairs at that moment, so Aunt Meng shouted, “Zi[1]as in baby or dear or kid Qi, turn off the water.”
Then Aunt Meng took Lin Xingjiao’s hand and brought him to the living room where he had talked with Grandma Lu yesterday. Lin Xingjiao had just sat down when Lu Qi and Li Rui came in. When Lin Xingjiao saw Lu Qi, he straightened his back and wanted to thank him but didn’t know how to start.
Lin Xingjiao felt that he couldn’t do this. After all, he had to cooperate with Lu Qi on the variety show and let him get the “job” of being a permanent guest.
Lu Qi sat down on the sofa next to Lin Xingjiao, and Li Rui also found a place to sit and play with his phone.
Seeing them come back, Lu Qi didn’t ask them about the specific process of resolving the problem, as if it was natural for them to come back so smoothly.
”Lunch will be in ten minutes.” Lu Qi wanted to say that Lin Xingjiao could just put on a mask and leave after eating, but before he could finish the next sentence,
Aunt Meng took the initiative and said to Lu Qi worriedly: “I also heard about what happened to him just now. It’s too dangerous. You have to be careful in the future.”
”Don’t worry.” Lu Qi gave her a reassurance in a concise manner.
”Well, I just feel that it’s still too dangerous.” Aunt Meng sighed and continued, “Before the child left, he was chatting with me and said he had nowhere to go. I was thinking that we still have an empty room here. How about letting him stay here? If you agree, how about I clean it up for him?”
Lin Xingjiao was still a little confused about Aunt Meng’s sudden mention of this matter, and he noticed that Lu Qi gave him a look with a smile on his face. Before Lin Xingjiao could read any specific emotions from those smiling eyes, Lu Qi was no longer looking at him.
Lu Qi said, “Since you said so, there is no reason for me not to agree. Is it Xingxing?”
Lin Xingjiao didn’t say anything. He felt a strange feeling that he couldn’t explain. But Lu Qi agreed so readily, so he should be welcomed. Maybe this strange feeling was just his illusion. If Lu Qi didn’t mind, living here was indeed the best choice at the moment. Otherwise, he might have to contact Wang Hua to find out where his original home was. However, in this way, Lin Xingjiao was a little self-aware, and there was a high possibility that he would be exposed.
”Oh, no,” Li Rui, who was sitting and listening, was a little confused. “Where are the rooms? Aren’t they all occupied?”
”You two don’t go home all day, so you definitely don’t know as much as I do. Isn’t there one next to Qiqi’s recording studio?”
”There…” Li Rui seemed to be recalling, and then his tone suddenly became louder, “There won’t be any use for it, Brother Lu will need it.”
”Kid, there’s nothing wrong with this. Isn’t it said that he has changed his job and is not of much use now? Besides, you are not at home all day. Don’t you know which one is more or less at home?” Aunt Meng was rejected by Li Rui at first, but now she started to take it seriously.
”It doesn’t matter to me whether I stay or not.” Lin Xingjiao said weakly.
It seemed that the three of them were about to get into a big quarrel, mainly because Aunt Meng and Li Rui were arguing with each other. Lin Xingjiao wanted to stop the fight but no one listened to him, and in the end, neither side could stop it.
”That’s enough.” Lu Qi stood up suddenly, and the two people who were arguing immediately quieted down and looked at him.
However, Lu Qi immediately looked at Lin Xingjiao and said condescendingly, “Hold it back.”
Lin Xingjiao blinked his misty eyes again and again, trying hard to hold back his tears.
”Stay, it’s okay.” Lu Qi looked away and came to a conclusion.
Aunt Meng was satisfied, and Li Rui had to keep his objections to himself.
Lu Qi left after he finished speaking, and Li Rui followed him and did not come down even for dinner.
Aunt Meng was accustomed to this phenomenon. While Lin Xingjiao was eating, she went to remove the plastic sheet covering the bedroom next to the recording studio. When Lin Xingjiao finished eating, she immediately took him over to see it.
When Lin Xingjiao followed Aunt Meng to the room, Aunt Meng introduced it to him: “This room is actually quite small. It was only used less in the past two years because of the transformation. It was also temporarily partitioned off when we were recording songs all night long. It has not been demolished yet.”
Lin Xingjiao didn’t really have any requirements for the room. Anyway, the room he found outside now would not be comparable to the one he had before he transmigrated into the book. The biggest advantage of this place was that it was free.
And it’s not as small as Aunt Meng said. You just have to pass through the recording studio before entering. The basic facilities in the room are all complete, with a bed and a desk, but maybe because it is next to the recording studio, this room has no windows.
”This used to be a small study room,” Aunt Meng pointed to the books piled on the bookshelf, and said with an inexplicable sense of pride, “Qiqi wrote many of his songs here.”
Aunt Meng listed several song titles. Lin Xingjiao remembered that he had heard one of these songs at a concert. He left the concert early. Now thinking about it, he felt it was a pity. Lu Qi sang very well. If he had known earlier that he couldn’t go back after sleeping, he probably wouldn’t have been so anxious.
”Are all the songs he sings at the concert his own?” Lin Xingjiao asked.
”Yes.” Aunt Meng said, “I watched the live broadcast at home. I didn’t go to the scene. I am too old to be with a group of young people.”
”There is a live broadcast.” Lin Xingjiao’s eyes lit up, “Can I watch the replay?”
”Sure, it’s in the audio-visual room next to yours. The effect looks great. Technology is really advanced nowadays.” Aunt Meng sighed.
Lin Xingjiao nodded and took note of it silently, but saw Aunt Meng pull out another small box.
”I see you didn’t bring any luggage. These clothes were sent by some brands. The sizes are not suitable for you, but they are all clean, and you can wear them.”
Aunt Meng chatted with Lin Xingjiao for a while before leaving, repeatedly telling him to just treat this place as his own home. Lin Xingjiao didn’t touch his clothes. After Aunt Meng left, he left the room and went to the control room of the recording studio. The equipment here was particularly complicated, so Lin Xingjiao didn’t touch anything. He walked around slowly and saw a lot of neatly arranged suitcases in the corner, one of which was open.
There are two identical grooves inside the suitcase, one side is empty and the other side contains a microphone.
So these boxes are most likely used to store microphones. Lin Xingjiao counted and found that there were about ten boxes.
Lu Qi has a lot of microphones.
While he was still studying, the door of the recording studio was pushed open. Lin Xingjiao immediately stood up and found that the person who came in was Li Rui.
Li Rui was also a little surprised to see him in the recording studio, and then he noticed where he was standing: “Stay in your room and don’t run around.”
He heard Li Rui muttering in a not-so-small voice again: “I really don’t understand why Brother Lu agreed to let you live here.”
”Did you come here specially to see me?” Lin Xingjiao asked, “You asked me not to touch anything? I won’t move.”
Li Rui was silent for a second. He was a little confused about Lin Xingjiao’s IQ.
”It’s good that you know.” Li Rui came here to warn, and he was too lazy to communicate more with Lin Xingjiao. Since Lin Xingjiao had something in his mind, he planned to leave.
Lin Xingjiao suddenly stopped Li Rui and asked, “What are you going to do with that piece of clothing?”
It was the one he threw away, the haute couture that Li Rui mentioned.
Speaking of this, Li Rui started to get angry again. He didn’t expect Lin Xingjiao to have the nerve to ask, “Compensate for it. It was originally sponsored by the brand. If you throw it away, we have to pay for a new one. We can’t not wear it when walking on the red carpet tomorrow.”
”Hmm…how much is it?”
”What?” Li Rui kept looking Lin Xingjiao up and down. “You want to compensate? Forget it. Brother Lu won’t ask you for it. Even if I sell you out, I can’t afford the compensation.”
Lin Xingjiao retorted in his heart, that’s not the case, he is very valuable, if his father, mother and brother were still alive, he would be priceless.
”Just tell me how much first.”
Seeing Lin Xingjiao being so stubborn, Li Rui was also annoyed by the question: “5.88 million, will you pay it?”
”I can write it down first. I will have money in the future.” Although he didn’t know what skills he would have in the future, Lin Xingjiao still made a promise.
Li Rui looked unconvinced. He didn’t understand what Lin Xingjiao was thinking. he was not happy even without him paying for it: “Whatever you want.”
Li Rui was about to walk out the door, but Lin Xingjiao stopped him again: “You guys are not coming back to walk the red carpet tomorrow?”
Li Rui was really angry: “Don’t try to pester Brother Lu all day long. You are the one who hangs around him every day. You are like this…”
As he kept cursing, Li Rui gradually lost his temper. He realized that he could scold Lin Xingjiao for having a mental problem, but he could not scold his appearance.
Lin Xingjiao didn’t understand why Li Rui didn’t finish his words: “How am I?”
After Lin Xingjiao’s meal, his lip color had returned to its natural pink color, which made his skin look even whiter and flawless, and his facial features more delicate and beautiful. Now he looked at Li Rui with an innocent look on his face.
Li Rui looked for two seconds, then turned around and left quickly.
”Hmm?” Lin Xingjiao was confused and could only whisper to the air, “So whether I will come back or not.”
