Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Arranging a Meeting with Xiao Jin

“It’s my sister’s, why?” Mu Ran felt a bit sensitive discussing this topic with him, “You’re quite interested in my family’s Xiao Jin.”

“Yes, I’m a fan of his. I find him quite interesting.” Xiao Yu’an made an excuse for himself.

“Then you should check him out online first.”

When Mu Ran was unsure if she could be with this person for life, she really didn’t want to introduce him to her close ones.

That way, if they broke up.

It would be troublesome.

“…Okay.” Xiao Yu’an found Mu Ran’s thoughts hard to figure out.

If she didn’t like him, she prepared many little surprises and showed him another side.

If she liked him, she would carry on with work as usual, and wouldn’t let him touch her friend circle and family.

It was very much like what the internet says about ’players.’

Xiao Yu’an ate skewers, subtly poured her wine, “What movie have you been busy shooting lately?”

“Horror film, but I have to prepare two versions.” Mu Ran, having probed the staff handling public screening permits, was told it was hard to get approval. Even if it got approved, the screenings would be forced to be during bad slots, forbidden to spread widely, giving her quite a headache.

“Two versions? Is it easy to shoot?”

“Not easy to shoot. I’m not even sure about how it will turn out, but I just have to prepare first.” Mu Ran drank another glass of beer, eating the sticky roasted sweet potato skin, glanced at him eating joyfully, and smiled, “You’re not as pampered as I imagined.”

She thought the grandson of a top domestic billionaire.

Should be extremely pampered, unfamiliar with the smoke of the common folk.

“Have you looked at yourself before saying that?” Xiao Yu’an had sparred with Mu Ran’s brother while investigating Xiao Jin.

Her brother was not simple.

“I’m just an ordinary film director.” As a child, Mu Ran truly felt she was mistreated, never befriending kids from wealthy families, opting to hang out more with the poor students in school.

Not because of inferiority.

She never had that thing since she was young.

It was purely because she was poor!

In third grade, after hearing someone joke about her being parentless, she beat them until they were covered in blood. Later, when a senior bullied her, she directly threw money to hire thugs, breaking their ribs and legs.

Afterwards, she had no money left.

So, when she was sixteen and entered university, she worked hard earning money, and her fast filming pace was also driven by the desire to achieve financial independence early on and break free from her brother’s control.

Exactly because of her childhood experiences, Mu Ran never thought there was anything special about her identity.

“You’re rare being humble.” Xiao Yu’an laughed.

“Tch.” Seeing him not believing, Mu Ran didn’t want to explain, “Oh yes, have you seen my movies?”

“No, do you want me to watch?”

“The others are whatever, but I suggest watching one of my films set in the Republic of China. I got the inspiration because I dreamed of you.”

“Alright.” Xiao Yu’an agreed, seeing her empty glass, poured her more wine, “If you get drunk, how will I take you back?”

Mu Ran downed the beer in one go, shrugging indifferently, “No problem, you can just let me sleep through the night.”

“That should make hot search headlines.”

“Yeah!” Mu Ran nodded, feeling a bit dizzy.

Xiao Yu’an kept pouring her wine.

Mu Ran kept drinking, her head spinning, moving the chair closer to him.

Mmm…

She seemed to want to kiss him again.

She remembered last time she was drunk, she hadn’t kissed him enough, Mu Ran moved closer, face very near his.

Xiao Yu’an watched her get closer, his dark eyes unknowingly softened, like water droplets fell in, unbearably tender.

Smelling her faint fragrance, Xiao Yu’an’s breath unconsciously became hot, his lips slowly touched, and he couldn’t help but shudder a bit.

Mu Ran drunkenly, her eyes dreamy, the ambiguous lingering in the wine aroma becoming more intense, she was overbearing and fierce, while the man was gentle yet restrained.

This was their first real kiss.

Xiao Yu’an’s mind went blank, like being struck by electricity, the current slowly spreading from his fingertips throughout his body.

While the woman lying in his arms had fallen asleep.

Absolutely heartless.

Xiao Yu’an closed his eyes, trying to calm his drum-like heartbeat, took out her phone, and unlocked it with a fingerprint.

The phone’s interface was filled with apps for reading comics and anime, the only social app was WeChat.

He clicked on WeChat.

Pinned at the top was “Xiao Jin.”

Scrolling down, there were many, Xiao Yu’an didn’t look further. He knew his current action was already very excessive.

Xiao Yu’an directly sent a message to Xiao Jin, “I’ll introduce someone to you, remember to add his WeChat.”

He also sent the WeChat ID.

For safety, Xiao Yu’an waited three minutes before deleting the message.

At this moment, Xiao Jin was sleeping, unable to add it.

Xiao Yu’an wasn’t in a hurry, waiting for the sun to gradually rise.

The phone vibrated with a sound, knowing Xiao Jin had added him.

At home, Xiao Jin, brushing his teeth, looked at the phone puzzled, wondering who his aunt wanted him to add?

Xiao Yu’an called him.

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, then answered, “Hello, who is this?”

“Xiao Yu’an.”

Clang—

Chu Xijin dropped his cup and toothbrush into the sink.

Xiao Yu’an said, “I’ll send you the location, find a way to come find me, understand?”

“Understood.” Chu Xijin’s mouth was faster than his brain.

Xiao Yu’an hung up, choosing a café very close to Mu Ran’s house.

During this time, he had hesitated whether to find Xiao Jin, the child was living quite well now.

No need to worry about anything.

But he had traveled through!!!

Unlike himself, Daqi’s Xiao Yu’an was dead, couldn’t go back, but Daqi’s Chu Xijin was still alive!!!

Xiao Yu’an didn’t know what this meant, but he had to let Xiao Jin know he couldn’t slack off.

In case…

If by any chance.

If he did go back, what would happen?

Xiao Yu’an opened the phone interface, and quickly operated on many things he couldn’t quite figure out before.

At this moment, he had a realization.

Half of his body was occupied by Mu Ran, making him use only his left hand to operate.

Waiting until nine o’clock, the glaring sunlight reflecting on the lake, sparkling brightly, made Mu Ran unable to sleep further, rubbing her eyes as she opened them, greeted by an exquisite jawline, perfect thin lips, a high-bridged nose, and… playfully mocking eyes.

“Awake?” Xiao Yu’an chuckled lightly, seeing her dazed expression, pinched her cheek, “Do you know where this is?”

Mu Ran squinted and looked around, the memory from last night resurfacing, slapped her forehead, “Why did I get so drunk?”

“Because you ate a lot of barbecue, and wanted it spicy, to relieve the spiciness, you could only drink a lot of beer.” Xiao Yu’an patiently explained to her.

Mu Ran covered her face.

What kind of mess was this?

She even laid on someone’s arm and slept the entire night.

“By the way, is your arm okay? Sorry, let me massage it for you.”
