After Gu Yixin left, Director Wang couldn’t help but ask Director Li repeatedly, whether he really planned to make Brother Wumao the male lead of his new film?
“Yes.”
Director Li looked regretfully at the back of Gu Yixin who was walking out of the studio door.
“This script has been in my hands for two years now, and it was only today that I found the most suitable person to act it out. To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I had planned to invite Gu Yixin, the model worker who has been making a lot of bubbling on the Internet recently, to star in this role, but I didn’t expect to find a more suitable candidate so soon. ”
He was a newcomer who only played in just one drama. And everything was still at the stage of a blank piece of paper, which was simply the most suitable material.
Director Li said with a dreamy expression, “I have a hunch that he will surely be able to rely on this movie to win the best actor award! ”
Director Wang was silent for a while, hesitating whether to tell the old man that Gu Wumao and Gu Yixin were the same people.
Director Wang poured a cup of tea for Director Li, and couldn’t help but keep on thinking in his heart.
It was very likely that the one who called Little Gu just now was Nephew Lu Shi.
What would have happened to make him call Gu Yixin so suddenly to ask him to return back home at this time?
Gu Yixin was also constantly guessing on the road.
He took a taxi and hurried back home. On the way, a lot of terrible pictures rehearsed through his mind.
He somewhat shivered on thinking about it.
When Gu Yixin finally reached home, he pushed open the bedroom door.
The first thing that caught his eyes was a body as beautiful as an ancient Greek god.
During this time, Lu Mingshi needed to be exposed to as much air as possible in order to promote the healing of the wound.
There should be no clothing nearby restricting the wound. So most of the time, he just wore a loose robe of warm and soft material without buttoning it up. Giving off a vivid look of a flirtatious prodigal son.
Lu Mingshi wasn’t very used to it at first. Even when there was nobody with him, he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to pull the front of his clothes and put the two pieces of fabric together.
Later, he was not occupied in these thoughts after he started taking care of the baby. And it was indeed really cozy to dress in this way.
Lu Mingshi got completely accustomed to this undemanding way of dressing and even encouraged Gu Yixin to do the same.
“You see, how time-saving this is when you don’t need to go out.”
While, Gu Yixin reply was, “President Lu, you are a *tyrant, not an *otaku.”
* Tyrant= handsome high-powered businessman (a type of character in an eponymous genre of romantic fiction who typically has a soft spot for a girl of lower social status)
* Otaku= a guy who stays at home all the time, typically spending a lot of time playing online games (derived from Japanese “otaku”)
To which Lu Mingshi calmly replied, “Everything is for the child. ”
So Gu Yixin had no choice but to endure the stimulating display that pompously showed off Lu Mingshi in front of him every day.
Lu Mingshi’s physique was really very good. His wounds healed rapidly. And after some simple rehabilitation exercises, even his figure quickly went closer to the scale of the body that he had a year ago.
It was exactly this rearview brimming with power and aesthetic perception, which Gu Yixin got to see when he opened the door.
Lu Mingshi was patiently coaxing the little guy on the crib while bending over to the crib and his hips just cocked up to face the uninvited guest who was entering the door, and nothing was there to cover those two long straight legs.
As the man hadn’t been out to bask in the sun for a long time now, the muscles on his back were whiter in color, but the muscle lines were just as smooth and flawless.
He didn’t know when he took off his clothes. He threw them on the edge of the bed casually and half of them dragged on the ground.
……
Gu Yixin felt that there was something wrong with the way he entered the door.
Why did President Lu call him to return? The house didn’t blow up, the baby didn’t cry, and the people were fine.
After looking at this scene which was overflowing with thoughts of love, he recalled the slightly impatient voice of Lu Mingshi – Could it be……Could it really be what he thinks it is?
Can a man recover so quickly after giving birth to a baby?
Gu Yixin was stunned.
He walked over with a mind full of doubts. The baby was lying in that beautiful white wind wood cradle and was sleeping like a good boy with a serene face like he was in a good dream.
When Gu Yixin looked at Lu Ming, who had just straightened up again, he found that the other complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot, his chin was tightly drawn, and he was looking very grave. But his empty eyes were full of four large characters：
Doubting one’s own life.
Gu Yixin asked, “What happened?”
Before Gu Yixin could get an answer, his line of sight naturally moved down a bit.
Then he took a very obvious pause.
He saw two band-aids crossed on certain places of Lu Mingshi’s chest.
Those pink stickers with the hello kitty design were covering that place, which looked very obvious and funny.
The muscles on Gu Yixin’s face were twitching and he could clearly understand the mood of Lu Mingshi at that moment.
But the question was… why……
This place… won’t it hurt……
Gu Yixin tried hard to move his gaze away from there.
“President Lu.” He took a deep breath, “You asked me to come back… it can’t be because…”
Is it because he couldn’t find the band-aid?
Lu Mingshi’s expression showed his extreme shock.
“Let me tell you the ins and outs of the whole incident.”
He had a numb face and had obviously abandoned the treatment.
“When I finished feeding the baby,“ Lu Mingshi said, while absent-mindedly picking up the robe and casually placing it on his body. “He wasn’t clearly full yet, but An Qiao told me that he is obviously very big and that we must not give a lot of food to him. So I started playing with him and caught his attention…”
Then……
“Then.” Lu Mingshi looked very dishevelled and he didn’t say anything for a long time, “and then…”
When Gu Yixin looked at him, he was struck by an idea, and he tentatively inferred：
“…Then with the innate tendency of a human baby, the baby immediately started looking for his own rations when he was playing with you.”
“You saw that the baby was very energetic and happy, so you threw away your caution and used this way to coax him to be quiet. As a result, you didn’t expect the baby to be very strong. After a long time, you started feeling pain. So you tried your best to coax the cub to sleep, then took a breath, and found two band-aids…”
Lu Mingshi didn’t speak.
He stretched out his big palms to cover his slightly red face.
After a while, Lu Mingshi, who had regained his composure a little, let out a sigh of relief.
“Most of the parts are right. ”
Gu Yixin was proud of his own reasoning ability.
But he still felt like something was a bit fishy.
If it was just this, why did Lu Mingshi panic so much on the phone?
Gu Yixin’s gaze fell on Lu Mingshi’s chest again.
He gazed at the two Hello kitties and advised, “President Lu, if you stick it like this, I’m afraid that it will hurt more when you tear it off. Why don’t you just leave it open? I’ll go buy you some ointment and apply it for you…”
“No need.”
Lu Mingshi said *unhesitantly.
*lit. to chop the nail and slice the iron (idiom) / fig. resolute and decisive/unhesitating/categorical
He looked down at his own chest with a complicated expression.
And he murmured lifelessly.
“–It is not waterproof anyway, and it won’t take long before it falls off by itself.”
Waterproof?
Gu Yixin sensitively captured the keywords.
The air froze for a split second. And finally, the two of them realized something at the same time. The two of them silently gazed at Lu MIngshi’s chest.
It was as if something was about to happen.
What exactly is the big deal?
After a while, when Gu Yixin finally blinked, something big happened at last.
The place which was firmly abducted by the band-aid.
The translucent band-aid was slowly soaked up and then it meandered down, dripping with an unknown liquid of a mystical color.
Gu Yixin：……
Lu Mingshi：……
Lu Mingshi looked at the dazed Gu Yixin who was confirming his own sobriety by pinching on his arms.
“It’s just what you think it is. ”
“Lu… President Lu.”
Gu Yixin flipped through the encyclopedia which Lu Mingshi had been keeping at the head of the bed. Unless An Qiao pointed to the page which he needed to read, he had never flipped through the pregnant husband’s encyclopedia or read a page by himself.
“According to what the book says, you have not had this… situation before because the external stimulation and psychological stimulation that you have received were not enough.”
Therefore, this situation was completely normal.
Lu Mingshi tore off the twelfth band-aid and threw it aside irritably.
Gu Yixin patted him on the shoulder, “Take it easy.”
Lu Mingshi turned his head to look at him in a daze, “I must say that this is the first time that I am getting to know that I am fully functional like this after being alive for almost thirty years.”
Gu Yixian comforted him, “And it’s good too. Don’t take the tissues to absorb it anymore, it’s quite wasteful.”
Lu Mingshi took away the tissue and silently stared at the unknown liquid which was flowing like a spring, thinking in his heart whether his maternity leave would have to be extended again.
Gu Yixin thought for a while, “Why don’t we buy a –”
Lu Mingshi immediately understood what he was about to say, so resolutely refused, “No! Not that thing!”
Gu Yixin thought to himself that he hadn’t even said it out yet.
Lu Mingshi looked at his own flat chest and felt a little bit relieved. He took the book from Gu Yixin’s hands and examined it by himself.
“It says here that after the first time it comes out…….. The first time it comes out, it will stop naturally within ten hours.” Lu Mingshi relaxed a bit. He then picked up a wet wipe and started wiping and breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
He can’t go to the company like this. But in any case, he was going to show up at the end of the month to *stabilize the morale of the army.
*稳定军心 literally translates to “stabilizing the morale of the army”. It can be extended to a company/a group of people. The company is the “army” in this case.
Lu Mingshi half knelt on the bed and stretched out his arms to return the book to the dark compartment at the head of the bed. Recently, he was given a lot of tonics by Chen Ma. He was stuffed with all kinds of tonics except for those which were prohibited by the medical prescription. So along with his relaxed mood, he looked much better than when he was pregnant.
But the waist quickly bounced back.
Once the body fat was reduced, the outline of the abdominal muscles became a bit visible again. Even though it was barely visible and wasn’t very clear, still it felt very touching.
Something was wrong with Gu Yixin’s expression.
Lu Mingshi naturally discovered it too.
However, Gu Yixin wanted to behave with integrity.
Therefore he immediately closed his eyes.
The world is so wonderful, but I just want to sleep. This is not good, not good……
Lu Mingshi touched the scar which only had a shallow imprint left.
He felt very good about himself.
He put down the book with his hand, and then felt deeper into the dark compartment, and found the item that he needed.
So they 【】
And 【】
Finally【】
The world has welcomed another day full of harmony.
The security level of Lujia Villa had been repeatedly improved. On one hand, it was for the safety of the owner and on the other hand, it was for the owner’s xx.
Now Lu Mingshi could watch economic trends while breastfeeding his baby expressionlessly.
At first, he thought he would soon get tired of this kind of life, but he didn’t. He started to really enjoy watching the baby grow up bit by bit. This kind of happiness was really different from expanding one’s business field.
By the end of the month, father Lu and mother Lu mentioned that they wanted to do the baby’s *full moon party on the day after tomorrow. And when they said this, the two dad’s suddenly remembered something very important.
*full moon / whole month/baby’s one-month old birthday
The baby didn’t have a name yet.
This was a very serious problem.
Why hadn’t they thought about naming the baby?
Because they were really happy and busy during that time.
Gu Yixin took a trip to a provincial capital halfway through. Since he had met the standards of the provincial games, he was directly registered as a top-grade national athlete and was only one step away from the premium level. According to the principal’s opinion, all the vacancies had been filled. So Gu Yixin really had to wait till next year to participate in the olympics and to get the gold medals.
On Lu Mingshi’s side, in addition to nursing the children, he also had to worry about the company’s affairs.
After all, Lu’s father and Lu’s mother have been out of the frontline for a long time, and they were not as familiar with the company’s current operations and decision-making as Lu Mingshi. During a video conference, Lu Mingshi sensitively perceived that there was a mistake in the decision-making. So he temporarily stopped a big project in collaboration with Southeast Asia. Everything was disrupted and it was quite tricky to start over.
The two of them sat in the living room. Lu Mingshi sat on the sofa with his spectacles on his nose and four or five Western classics stacked on his knees.
Gu Yixin paced back and forth with the 《*Shijing》 in his hand, his whole body looked restless and abnormal like never before.
*Shijing, the Book of Songs, early collection of Chinese poems and one of the Five Classics of Confucianism 五經｜五经
Nobody knew the number of books which were thrown on the sofa. 《*Cihai》, 《*I Ching》, 《*Chu Ci》, 《*Zuo Zhuan》… needless to say that most of the Tang poetry and the lyric poetry from the Song Dynasty were lying open.
*Cihai, encyclopedic dictionary of Chinese first published in 1936
*The Book of Changes (“I Ching”)
*Chu Ci, the Songs of Chu (ancient book of poems, collected during Han but esp. from country of Chu c. 500 BC)
*Zuo Zhuan or Tsochuan, Mr. Zuo’s Annals or Mr. Zuo’s commentary on 春秋, early history c. 400 BC attributed to famous blind historian Zuo Qiuming 左丘明
These two people didn’t stop for ten consecutive hours.
Gu Yixin dropped the book. He let out a long sigh and said sadly, “For the first time, I am feeling sad that I have read less. ”
Lu Mingshi consoled him, “Don’t worry. You have your own good points. For example, these books that weigh a ton were brought down from the third floor by you.”
After Gu Yixin left, Director Wang couldn’t help but ask Director Li repeatedly, whether he really planned to make Brother Wumao the male lead of his new film?
“Yes.”
Director Li looked regretfully at the back of Gu Yixin who was walking out of the studio door.
