"My bed can fit two big men."
This isn't a question of whether it can be tolerated or not. Gu Xinglan thought back to when she first came to this world, completely clueless about everything she was supposed to be in charge of.
"I'm not suited to the entertainment industry. After much thought, I think it's more suitable for me to live the rest of my life as an ordinary person." The tone of his voice conveyed a sense of detachment and tranquility.
"you're lying."
The sound from above was muffled.
Gu Xinglan pushed Lu Yinian's shoulder, but couldn't budge him. The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while. "Why don't you let go of me first?"
"You're lying. Have you forgotten the oath you swore when you asked me to bring you into this industry?"
The back of my head feels a little damp.
Gu Xinglan pushed the other person away with all her might this time. In her line of sight, Lu Yinian was in tears, her eyes were red, and tears slowly gathered on her cheeks and chin. Her lips were trembling.
"What promises did you make to me when you joined the industry?" Lu Yinian asked, her voice filled with anguish, clutching her chest.
It's as if he's a heartless man who has betrayed his partner.
What earth-shattering oath did the original owner make?
"People change, plans can't keep up with changes, and even a hothead can become a seasoned veteran one day." Gu Xinglan patted the other person on the shoulder and said seriously.
The original owner's development and his current goals are two completely opposite paths.
It's difficult for him to manage both at the same time.
System: [This corresponds to two hidden storylines.]
[The first is to uncover the secrets of the Li family, and the second is to explore the secret of the original owner's loss of virginity, that is, to explore the original owner's past. It would be best to complete these two simultaneously, but unfortunately, the progress of the two hidden storylines is currently very slow.]
"What's the progress?"
[You hold 5.5% and 1.5% of the first and second hidden storylines, respectively.]
It seems like a task he'll find difficult to complete even when he's in his sixties.
System: [Host, if you don't advance the hidden storyline, you'll remain last on Lord H's leaderboard, and the punishment missions will continue. Without any cheat codes, forget about dodging a gas explosion; even a minor bump or knock will kill you.]

Li Hetai returned to the villa.
The boy returned home without telling him, quietly, as if their escape from the villa yesterday was just a dream.
Li Hetai had his own considerations. Even if the other party was right in front of him, and he said something like, "Stay here, it will be tiring to go back to the villa," the other party would probably go back to Changgu for training somewhere he couldn't see. With that kind of personality, he would succeed at anything.
As soon as Gu Xinglan got out of the taxi, Lu Yinian hooked his arm around her neck.
The community has excellent privacy features, with buildings separated by small bamboo groves.
"How about it? I made a fortune a few months ago. I just bought a house with a down payment of 280,000 yuan. I'm currently paying off the mortgage. You can stay here as long as you like."
Lu Yinian was somewhat excited.
"Very few people can afford to buy here. The poor can't afford it, and the rich don't want it. Only someone like me with some savings can move in."
The small screen in the elevator slowly displayed the 21st floor.
There's a shoe cabinet outside.
Lu Yinian squatted down and took out a pair of slippers from inside. The slippers had two cute big stars on them.
"Look, I bought this especially for you!"
Didn't Lu Yinian think he was dead? Why did she buy him slippers?
"You're really thoughtful." Gu Xinglan awkwardly changed into slippers.
The room was even more bizarre.
Apart from some large pieces of furniture, all the other small items, including drinking cups, sofa cushions, wall murals, bathroom toiletries, and bedding, were for two people.
"Is there another person in your family?"
Gu Xinglan came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, looking somewhat puzzled.
"With you here, there's one more person, isn't there?" Lu Yinian bent over to spread the blankets on the bed in the room.
"You can sleep in the same bed with me. The bedroom next door is messy and full of junk."
"Okay." Gu Xinglan picked up the water glass on the table and was about to drink some water when she noticed there was dust at the bottom of the glass.
"Oh dear, I forgot. Last time I went to the temple to pray for good fortune in my career, I bought two talismans from the Taoist priest. I just burned them yesterday, and I didn't dare to add water to them."
Lu Yinian rushed over, took the quilt, washed it clean, and poured him a full cup of hot water.
"You should drink less. Let's go to a bar tonight."
"...Aren't you getting a little too excited?" Gu Xinglan scratched his head.
It wasn't his imagination; Lu Yinian's body language kept telling him that he was excited, whether it was his hands clenching into fists from time to time, his bright smile, or his pacing back and forth.
"That's right. I asked you to come and stay before, but you wouldn't come. I've already prepared all this furniture for you."
“You just bought this house,” Gu Xinglan said.
"These furniture pieces were all moved in, do you have a problem with that?" Lu Yinian glared, her face puffed up with anger.
That night, Gu Xinglan was fast asleep in bed.
I didn't sleep at all last night, and after eating breakfast and taking a shower this morning, I slept until now.
In a daze, I kept hearing faint knocking sounds, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood and ash in my nose, which was a little burning in my throat, as if I were in a temple.
on fire?
With heavy eyelids, Gu Xinglan forced herself to stay awake and climbed out of bed.
The door creaked open, and the red candles in the hall trembled slightly.
Gu Xinglan just happened to make eye contact with Lu Yinian, who was holding a fragrant stick.
The lights were turned on, and the hall instantly became bright.
"what are you doing?"
"I...I am repaying God..."
"What are you still doing?" Gu Xinglan looked at the table full of meat dishes and pastries. A long, bright red tablecloth was spread on the wooden table. Especially since it was exactly midnight, the grandfather clock was slowly chiming, which was creepy.
"Fulfilling a vow is a very simple activity for ordinary people."
Lu Yinian nodded solemnly, placed the incense sticks in the incense burner, and bowed his head devoutly several times.
After doing all this, Lu Yinian pushed Gu Xinglan into the room, his face bearing the expression of someone coaxing a child, and said softly, "Go take a shower first, and I'll take you out for a late-night snack later."
Gu Xinglan was pushed along the back into the room. He turned his head several times, trying to see the person behind him clearly. "What do you mean by 'fulfilling a vow'? You have to do it at dawn."
They still chose a time when the yin energy was so strong.
"Okay, listen to me, go take a shower first. Your clothes are in the closet, remember to dress nicely."
An unquestionable tone came from behind.
Lu Yinian pushed the person completely into the room before closing the door.
"...It's all so mysterious and strange." Gu Xinglan glanced at the closed door, puzzled.
Once midnight had passed, Lu Yinian moved the wooden table back to its original position.
When the room door opened, Gu Xinglan's buttocks were sticking up high.
"What are you looking for?"
"The buttons on my clothes fell off under the bed." Gu Xinglan reached out and grabbed something with difficulty.
The space under the bed was spotless, and a pearl button was gleaming warmly, out of reach no matter how hard I tried.
Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, and I heard someone say, "You have such a nice, perky butt."
These words startled Gu Xinglan, who quickly retreated from under the bed, looking at Lu Yinian behind her with a hint of fear on her face.
