To make up for not letting Zhu Zhengchu get a good rest last night, Xiang Yutang was extremely attentive today. She massaged his shoulders, beat his back, and even cut fruits and fed them to him.
Zhu Zhengchu was secretly delighted while scheming how to speed up his progress in courting the girl.
He used to think he lost to Ultraman. Just now he realized that this girl had always regarded him as gay!
What was going on? Did he look that gay?!
"Master? Master!"
"Ah, what's up?"
"What were you thinking so intently about?" Xiang Yutang looked at him curiously.
Zhu Zhengchu shook his head. "It's nothing." It would surely be hard to explain it directly to this girl. He had to approach the topic from other aspects.
"Just now, Xiao Lin came and said that those people confessed after being arrested last night. It was indeed Xia Helan who had set them up. But the director's team hasn't handed her over to the police yet. They're waiting for your decision." Xiang Yutang relayed Xiao Lin's message.
Zhu Zhengchu asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xiang Yutang thought for a while. "It depends on what you think. After all, it was you who got hurt."
"Her acting career is surely over. Besides that, do you want to give her any other punishment?"
Xiang Yutang gave a sinister smile. "Will you think I'm too vicious if I say it?"
"Just say it." He was really curious to see how vicious this girl could be.
"How about sending her to raise pigs? We can consider forgiving her after a year or so!" A pampered young lady like Xia Helan surely couldn't endure the hardship of raising pigs.
Zhu Zhengchu: ...
"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think I'm too vicious!"
Zhu Zhengchu rubbed his temples. "Well... No." He really thought it would be something far more vicious.
Xiang Yutang continued, "We can also send her to carry manure in the countryside!"
"Um... As long as you're happy, it's okay. I'll give the handling plan to Xiao Lin later. You don't need to get involved in this."
"Got it. Also, the advertisement we shot today was released. Have you seen the advertisement pictures?"
"Yeah, they're great." Zhu Zhengchu was the first one to see the advertisement pictures. He was very satisfied because the pictures made them look like a couple.
Zhu Zhengchu pretended to ask casually, "I didn't check the hot searches today. Have you? Is there anything new to share?"
He had asked the company to buy three hot searches, all hyping up their CP, just hoping this little girl would notice.
"Sure I did. There's a hot search saying that holding urine for a long time can lead to kidney stones. Master, be careful." Xiang Yutang completely missed the point.
Zhu Zhengchu coughed and continued to lead the topic to the CP hype.
"Oh? Anything else?" Look at the point, silly girl!
Xiang Yutang read from her phone, "There's another hot search warning people not to hold in farts. It's also bad for the body!"
Zhu Zhengchu gritted his teeth. "Have you seen anything related to the entertainment industry?" Did he really have to say it out himself!
Xiang Yutang said, "There is one. The title is: An 80 - year - old veteran actor actually did this in public!"
"What did he do?"
"Spit. It's just spitting. It can even make it to the hot search. So annoying." Xiang Yutang still didn't catch the point.
Zhu Zhengchu touched his nose. Unable to bear it any longer, he took the phone and pretended to check the hot searches. Then he "surprisingly" said, "We're also on the hot search. I wonder what they're talking about?"
"Oh, this one. I just checked. They're arguing whether we're a couple. I was just passionately debating with them."
Zhu Zhengchu asked excitedly, "Really? Which side are you on?"
"I'm on the side that you and Huang Xingyun are a couple!" Xiang Yutang said firmly.
The smile on Zhu Zhengchu's face froze. Damn it! It would be okay if she paired him with someone else. But the point was Huang Xingyun was a man! Why on earth should he be paired with a man!
"Yutang, Master is being very serious. Master is not gay! Master likes women!"
Xiang Yutang blinked her eyes. "Master, don't be so excited. The more you explain, the more it seems like you're covering up."
Zhu Zhengchu: ...
He knew it! It was useless to explain.
"Yutang, if you keep saying I like men, then I'll... never help you get your phone again!" Zhu Zhengchu threatened her.
Xiang Yutang nodded, looking kind and loving. "Okay, okay. I won't say it anymore. You shy little fairy."
Zhu Zhengchu: ...
No, no. If this went on, he would just seem gayer and gayer.呸! In her mind, at least. He must speed up his progress in courting the girl.
"Yutang, let's watch a movie together! A horror movie!" Although it was a cliche, it was quite effective. Girls generally were afraid of horror movies. When Xiang Yutang got scared, it would be his chance to show his manliness!
Xiang Yutang readily agreed. Zhu Zhengchu chose the scariest horror movie and deliberately closed the curtains to create a scary atmosphere.
But he clearly underestimated Xiang Yutang's psychological quality.
"Hahaha, this special effect looks so fake."
"Hahaha, this guy really deserves it. He was told not to enter the cemetery, but he insisted. Now he's being dragged away."
"Hahaha, this ghost's face isn't even symmetrical!"
Xiang Yutang kept commenting while watching. Zhu Zhengchu turned as pale as a sheet. How could this happen? She didn't play by the rules at all!
After watching the horror movie, Zhu Zhengchu felt as if his ears were filled with Xiang Yutang's laughter.
"Master, are you sure this is a horror movie? I feel like it's a comedy movie." Xiang Yutang was still commenting even after the movie ended.
Zhu Zhengchu rubbed his temples. "Maybe."
If it weren't for the word "horror movie" clearly printed on the screen, he would also think it was a comedy movie.
"Shall we watch another one?" Xiang Yutang felt like she hadn't had enough.
Zhu Zhengchu shook his head. "Let's stop watching. I'll... sing for you instead?"
"Great!" Xiang Yutang was very excited.
Zhu Zhengchu could only pin his hopes on singing.
Xiang Yutang played the guitar while Zhu Zhengchu sang.
This time, Zhu Zhengchu found the right approach. It was really effective. Xiang Yutang was very happy listening to his singing. She was completely immersed in his voice, with only him in her eyes.
Zhu Zhengchu tucked the hair that had fallen by her ear behind and said gently, "Do you like Master's... singing?" It was better to proceed step by step.
Xiang Yutang said happily, "I do!"
"Then would you like Master to sing for you for a lifetime?" Zhu Zhengchu asked tentatively.
Xiang Yutang nodded vigorously. "Great!"
"Then from now on, Master won't call you Yutang. Can I call you Tangtang?"
"Great!"
Seeing that she agreed to everything so quickly, Zhu Zhengchu was just about to ask if she would be his girlfriend.
But at that moment, the door was pushed open. A burly man walked in, looking extremely arrogant.
"Xiang Yutang! Get out here!"
