On the way back, the two didn’t talk much. In the silence, only Lin Yu who was in the driver’s seat kept blushing with eyes flashing frantically.
Yu Lan repeatedly peeked at the man beside him, only to see the other person raise the corner of his lips. He quickly withdrew his gaze, and also quietly raised his own lips.
The two people held hands and never let go.
When they arrived home, Uncle Liu and Aunt Jiang were already on their breaks. The man took his hand and led him upstairs again.
The closer they got to the room, the more tension and anticipation there was in Yu Lan’s heart.
However, right at the door of his room, the man stopped and said, “Regarding your agent, you can just tell him directly that it’s okay for me. If you have a job in the future, just have him come here to pick you up.”
Yu Lan almost failed to respond and said dumbfounded, “Oh, okay.”
The man let go of his hand and said with a gentle smile, “All right, go to your room and get some rest.”
“……” Yu Lan was a bit lost, and said in a low voice,”En, good night Mr. Shao.”
Shao Mingyu looked at the youth’s expression and smiled. He took a step closer.
The youth subconsciously lifted his head.
Shao Mingyu slightly leaned down and planted a kiss on the youth’s forehead.
Yu Lan was immobilized.
The man leaned closer to the youth’s ear and chuckled lowly, “Good night, Little Grape.”
“……”
After Yu Lan entered the room, he closed the door and squatted directly on the ground, covering his face.
His heart was beating so fast that his whole body was burning hot.
Mr. Shao……Mr. Shao!
……
Yu Lan didn’t have to go to the milk tea store, and it just so happened that his classes with Mr. Bai had also ended.
Since Yu Lan no longer needed to adjust to the outside world by going out more often, Mr. Shao invited his next teacher directly to the manor.
Fang Pingping contacted him again, saying that he had prepared a formal contract and asked if Yu Lan wanted to sign it today.
Yu Lan naturally agreed and also followed Mr. Shao’s instructions, directly asking Fang Pingping to meet him at the manor.
When Fang Pingping arrived at the manor, he was completely shocked.
Was this simply living in paradise1(世外桃源)- shì wài táo yuán – Originally refers to the ideal state of isolation from the real society and a happy life / Later also refers to a place where the environment is quiet and life is comfortable / It refers to a beautiful world that is imaginary and separated from reality and struggle???
The big boss was worthy of being called a big boss, truly admirable.
When he was welcomed into the manor by Uncle Liu, the youth was squatting by the window while playing with a sheepdog by lifting its paws.
The youth was wearing a set of casual clothes, very simple and neat.
When Aunt Jiang passed by, she mentioned, “Ah Lan, your hair is a little long, let’s have the barber come in a couple of days.”
The youth touched his hair and obediently answered, “Okay.”
Fang Pingping watched with mixed emotions.
That day, when he became aware of the unusual relationship between the big boss and Yu Lan, Fang Pingping was very worried.
He had a feeling that Yu Lan was capable of becoming a superstar, however, would a man like Shao Mingyu truly not mind if the person he fancied ventured out into the world?
He was concerned that Shao Mingyu would excessively interfere with Yu Lan’s work. Also, he was worried that Shao Mingyu would raise Yu Lan like a canary.
However there was no such thing.
It could even be said that the big boss’ affection for Yu Lan exceeded all his imagination.
The big boss provided financial support for them without interfering with their work.
He didn’t have any intention to be like the entertainment circle’s gold masters who support their lovers by stuffing them with a lot of resources, but rather he wanted to let Yu Lan and his ordinary agent, Fang Pingping, slowly develop together.
And regarding Yu Lan’s safety, he also took it into utmost consideration.
Regardless of what Yu Lan had experienced in the past, at least in the future, he would be happy.
Yu Lan saw Fang Pingping and invited him to sit down on the sofa.
As for the matter concerning his hair, Fang Pingping urged, saying that he would be responsible for the styling, and then took out a contract that had long been reviewed by the big boss’ subordinate. Yu Lan looked it over seriously and signed it.
After signing, Fang Pingping assumed a serious expression and stated, “Ah Lan, I’ve made arrangements for the next few days, there should be no issues concerning your job at the milk tea store, right?”
“En.” Yu Lan nodded his head.
Mr. Shao also said that his study can be adjusted according to his work during the day.
“Then I will come to pick you up tomorrow. Didn’t the editor-in-chief of “V” say she wanted to meet you? Tomorrow we will go to see her first, and then we will shoot your first inside page over there!” Speaking of this, Fang Pingping’s tone became excited again, “Although we haven’t had time to train, we can’t afford to let this opportunity slip away!”
Regarding this point, Yu Lan acknowledged it, and therefore continued to nod his head.
“Besides, after that cover of yours was published, you should know yourself that you have attracted a lot of attention.” Fang Pingping hesitated and commented, “Ah Lan, I feel that it’s time for you to open a social network account so that people can become more familiar with and get to know you. But——”
Yu Lan looked at him puzzled.
Fang Pingping gently and cautiously said, “There are all kinds of people on the Internet. In an anonymous environment, many people talk too much and have a lot of hostility. However, anyone who receives attention will basically experience this kind of thing. If you don’t want to see these things, it’s okay to let me handle your account. Look…how about it?”
Yu Lan gave some thought to what Fang Pingping said. He wasn’t completely clueless, although he didn’t have much interest in the online world, but it was impossible for him to be completely free from the Internet in his daily life.
After the incident at the club, Mr. Shao soothed him, and after Yu Lan’s brain sobered up, he was able to understand the Silver Moon Clan with a more peaceful mind. In the midst of verbal abuse, indifference, and comfort from netizens, he was able to reach a very objective and balanced view of the Silver Moon Clan.
In this course of events, he had already witnessed a lot of hostility.
He also understood that with him being a member of the Silver Moon Clan, his presence in the public eye would definitely lead him to experience the same attacks that other members of the Silver Moon Clan had encountered.
But for Yu Lan’s point of view, the more he understood, the more peaceful the situation seemed to be.
He answered, “Then I’ll open it up first, and for the time being I’ll manage the account myself.”
Fang Pingping sighed in relief.
Doing just that, the two gathered together and opened an account on the largest social networking platform, Xingbo.
The name was Yu Lan, brief introduction was “model”, and the avatar was his cover photo.
After everything was finished, Fang Pingping on behalf of Yu Lan posted a self-introduction and greeting as his first blog in Xingbo, and then said, “Post more photos, selfies or something, share your daily life with everyone, and post less of other things.”
Fang Pingping gave a bunch of instructions, and Yu Lan more or less got the hang of it.
Owing to the fact that Yu Lan has always been well-behaved, Fang Pingping was very relieved. He went back after nagging and didn’t trouble him anymore.
Yu Lan scrolled through Xingbo.
He was aware of the reactions caused by his cover, as he was almost recognized when he was working in a milk tea store. Fang Pingping also mentioned that many people were asking around for information about him, only they had to be steady and take their time.
In Xingbo, the reaction was even more straightforward.
Under the official blog of “V” the day, the magazine was appeared on the market——
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah so beautiful awsl2awsl – Chinese online idiom, stands for the acronym of pinyin 啊我死了 its literal meaning is “ah, I am dead”, normally used to express excitement when some see something extremely cute or surprisingly charming.!”
“Little brother, how come I’ve never seen you before? Have you just debuted?”
“You’ve just debuted and you’re on the cover of V??? What’s your background?”
“Passers-by please know that the top five don’t need to have any background to be able to make it on the page. Moreover, this time the cover was originally X person, there was a problem so X person was temporarily replaced. Now I just want to say thanks to X person……”
“Thank you X person+1!”
“This model’s surname is Yu, a Silver Moon Clan? The Silver Moon Clan people are indeed all good-looking, kneeling down.”
“Another Silver Moon Clan making their debut with their face……”
“Is “V” also beginning to fall in love with the Silver Moon Clan? Don’t become cheap ah!”
“There is nothing wrong with this divine looking face on “V”. It’s so annoying when you connect this to the Silver Moon Clan. Fuck your cheap!”
“Seeking Xingbo!!! Does little brother have Xingbo? Can’t find it!”
……
Yu Lan roughly looked through it, he seemed to have gained a lot of fans in such a short period of time.
He clicked on the message and discovered that it was Fang Pingping and his studio that had tagged him, attracting a wave of fans to follow the news.
His fans were wailing at him to post selfies after his first blog.
Yu Lan thought about it and obediently tried to take a selfie with his mobile phone, and foolishly “Kacha3 Sound of a click when taking a photo from a phone” on himself and uploaded it to XingBo.
“What the fuck4(臥槽) – wò cáo – What the fuck is this selfie???”
“???? So honest, not to mention retouching, not even using filters at all???”
“Was this taken directly with the front camera of XX mobile phone?”
“Hahahahahahaha, I don’t know why I want to laugh! This expression looks so silly!”
“Little brother is so cute, ah I’m dead!”
“Where’s the agent!! Your baby’s selfie, it’s so casual!!”
“Damn it, the shots taken with XX phone front camera all turned out to be divine looking, my screen is wet!”
As soon as Yu Lan saw such comments, he once again got confused.
Ah, could it be that it was necessary to use a filter to post a selfie on the Internet?
He gently and cautiously looked it up online and for the first time felt that the process of being a “celebrity” was too complicated.
Halfway through his drive, as he was casually looking for a restaurant to fill his stomach, Fang Pingping, who swiped onto Yu Lan’s selfie, went, “Pfft!”
He sprayed out his drink and hurriedly wiped his mouth. This kid has too many things to learn!
On the other hand, Yu Lan was busy checking the Internet for a while, when he was called by Aunt Jiang to try some light refreshments. He suddenly received a text message.
It was from Yu Yi.
Yu Lan paused in his tracks and furrowed his brows, reading the contents of the text message clearly, he was shocked.
……
It was after a meeting that Shao Mingyu became aware that Yu Lan had opened a Xingbo.
He looked at the silly selfie and laughed softly.
And the people who followed him out of the conference room, were frantically exchanging meaningful glances, while their eyes constantly went back and forth on the ring on Shao Mingyu’s ring finger.
”Fuck!! Big news!!”
The top bachelor, CEO Shao, is taken!!!
On this day, within the Xingyu Group, there was a complete frenzy over the news.
When Shao Mingyu returned to the manor, the TV in the living room was playing.
Little Mars watched seriously, when he heard a sound, he turned his head to look at his master who returned late and wagged his tail happily.
The youth didn’t respond, only revealing a small head, resting on the side, possibly asleep.
Shao Mingyu walked over, the youth was huddled in a corner, hugging a pillow and sleeping peacefully.
Shao Mingyu raised his lips, he reached out and gently stroke the youth’s head and whispered, “Ah Lan, wake up.”
The youth’s eyelashes trembled a little, after which he opened his eyes slightly. Those dark blue eyes still held a dazed look filled with sleepiness.
“Mr. Shao…” His voice was slightly hoarse and soft.
Shao Mingyu bent over and tried to carry the youth upstairs, however, the youth stretched out his arms beforehand, hooked his neck and pulled him down.
Shao Mingyu paused, propped his hands on the sofa, and looked deeply at the youth.
Yu Lan gazed at the man in a daze, his eyes tracing over the man’s facial features and every detail.
Shao Mingyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed for a moment and he asked softly, “What are you looking at?”
Yu Lan hesitated: “…brother?”
With a slight force on the joints of his fingers, Shao Mingyu’s voice was hoarse, “Little Grapes, do you know what you’re doing?”
Yu Lan was confused for a moment before asking again cautiously, “Mr. Shao, you’re not my real brother, are you?”
Shao Mingyu, “……?”
The author has something to say:
Mr. Shao’s real heart is actually: “?????”
