After returning from the company's high-level meeting, Chu Muyu was in a good mood.
The two new models trained by themselves successfully passed the interview of the fashion week high-end brand, and the film Sun Yiling participated in was also scheduled to be released, and several new endorsements were obtained. Chu Muyu made a fortune from it, and it was over. Work purgatory, rest.
In order to comfort the "bleeding" Nolan, Chu Muyu made an exception and took Nolan into the hot pot restaurant in Baheli, and generously handed Nolan the menu.
"Just eat whatever you want."
Nolan, who hadn't tasted meat for many days, ordered beef, handmade meatballs, goose field, hairy tripe, shrimp slippery and a lot of meat according to the pictures on the menu. Under the demonstration of Chu Muyu's eyes, he reluctantly ordered another plate Assorted vegetables, wait for the waiter to push the trolley with the ingredients, and the plates filled with meat are all over the table.
Chu Muyu poured the beef into the boiling soup pot, and the meat changed color and rolled up when it was hot. Chu Muyu put the hot meat into Nolan's bowl, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a sly arc.
"After this meal, it's your turn to make money."
"Ahem..." Nolan choked up.
After working all day, the two of them had an amazing appetite, and they couldn't stop eating one mouthful after another.
Halfway through eating, Chu Muyu's cell phone on the table rang, and the caller ID showed the name of the vice president of the company. Although reluctant, Chu Muyu put down his chopsticks and connected the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Chu, Bizzer has a reception tomorrow, remember to bring someone to attend." The boss in charge of the artists said on the phone.
"Is there an invitation list?" Chu Muyu swallowed the shrimp in his mouth.
"Sun Yiling is definitely going to take it, and so is Chunchao. You can figure out what to do with the others, just bring one or two along."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muyu's eyes involuntarily fell on the unknowing Nolan on the opposite side.
After dinner, in a styling studio.
Nolan was pressed to sit on the swivel chair, and the stylist who dyed her hair mint green stood with her hips crossed beside the chair, brushed up a strand of Nolan's hair and said in amazement, "This color is so well dyed, not at all. No stains can be seen."
Nolan looked at the scissors in the hands of the stylist and got goosebumps all over his body. He cast his eyes on Chu Muyu for help, and said, "This, what is this for?"
Chu Muyu pinched his chin frivolously, and joked, "I'll take you to a good place tomorrow, so I have to dress you up well."
The stylist glanced at them knowingly, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "I told you this is your little boyfriend, leave it to me, and promise to make a beautiful look."
Nolan was startled, his face flushed red and his eyes didn't know who to look at. Chu Muyu finished clicking, coughed lightly and defended, "This is my newly signed model, don't think too much about it."
The stylist let out a long sigh, and said in a lack of interest, "I thought you were finally willing to have a serious relationship after Qi Chuan."
Chu Muyu's face froze, and he poked the back of the stylist's head, "Is it okay to talk less and do more, be careful with your mouth so much, I will never bring anyone here again."
The stylist snorted, and followed Chu Muyu away. He refocused on Nolan, and gestured with his hair for the length.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Nolan silently memorized the name Qi Chuan. He looked up at the stylist, opened his big eyes seeking knowledge and asked in a low voice, "Who is Qi Chuan?"
"Who else could it be, Chu Muyu's ex-boyfriend." The stylist answered bluntly. Seeing that Chu Muyu didn't notice this, he lowered his head and whispered to Nolan, "It's been almost two years since we broke up. I haven't seen him have a serious relationship again, so I guess I still remember that person in my heart."
Nolan let out an oh, and his originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
It turned out that Chu Muyu had been in love with someone else during the five years that he hadn't seen him, and he couldn't forget the breakup.
The grievance and sadness turned into uncontrollable little emotions, pulling the corners of Nolan's mouth down. During the whole haircutting process, he didn't look at himself in the mirror again. All his thoughts were on the man named Qi Chuan. Even after the transformation was completed, Nolan didn't pay attention to what the people around him said. No matter what, I followed Chu Muyu back.
Lying on the bed, Nolan's heart was always stuffy, as if he couldn't swallow or spit out a breath, and he was about to suffocate due to the diaphragm. He took out the conch under the pillow and wanted to talk to Noah, but he didn't know how to tell it. Sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep holding the conch in annoyance.
The reception that Chu Muyu wanted to take Nolan to was organized by the most influential boss in the industry. His name was Zhou Xue, and he was the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine BIZZER. The people who can come to this reception are all famous people in the fashion circle. Of course, Nolan, who has just arrived, is not an eye-catcher. Chu Muyu originally only wanted to bring him here to make him familiar.
A mature model like Sun Yiling didn't need Chu Muyu to take her with her to find her place in the reception. It was obviously the first time for Nolan to come to such an occasion, and there was a trace of restraint in every gesture.
"See the lady in the smoking suit in front of her? Her name is Jean, and she is one of the most famous fashion photographers. If you can talk to her later, don't call her by the wrong name."
Holding a glass of cocktail, Chu Muyu imparted experience to Nolan beside him with a calm expression.
Nolan was wearing a plaid suit and a pair of framed glasses. He was dressed in a retro accent. His hair was still the original lake blue color, but the long hair in the shawl was trimmed to a certain length. Enhanced styling.
He took a sip of the cocktail in his glass, nodded after listening to Chu Muyu's words, and seriously recognized everyone Chu Muyu said.
"Hi, isn't this Mr. Chu?" A glamorous woman in a red tube top dress slid her finger over Chu Muyu's shoulder and poked him in the face, "Long time no see."
Chu Muyu raised his eyebrows, clinked a glass with the woman, drank the wine and said with a smile, "Ms. Xiao is really getting more and more beautiful. She has won a lot of endorsements recently."
The woman smiled, and said coquettishly, "I know you have a sweet tongue. Last time, you promised to go out with me on a date, but you disappeared in a blink of an eye."
Chu Muyu didn't seem embarrassed. He naturally took the woman's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said in a serious way, "Next time, next time, I will definitely accompany you for a candlelight dinner with champagne and roses."
The woman was amused by him, waved her hand and walked towards the next person to strike up a conversation with.
Nolan acted like a spectator the whole time, watching Chu Muyu cynically flirt with others in a cynical way. He obviously looked normal to him, but he wanted to act like a son-in-law when facing others.
Unhappy... Uneasy... Don't like...
Such a Chu Muyu seemed to be covered with a fake smile mask, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But this reception is like a noisy garden, and all the flowers and plants going here have to laugh and play with Chu Muyu. Although there were a few people who came over curiously to look at Nolan, they were caught by Nolan's after a while. The cold face was completely scared away.
Visitors from Chu Muyu never refused to talk to people, talk nonsense, the wine was drunk one by one, and the waiter who served the wine simply stood by and did not leave.
Nolan saw that his eyes were wet and his cheeks were reddish, apparently a little drunk, and his heart ached instantly. He didn't like such occasions, and he didn't like the appearance of Chu Muyu pretending to play in the world. When the next glass of wine was handed to Chu Muyu, he snatched it and drank it without saying a word.
The person who handed the wine was a little confused, seeing that Chu Muyu didn't say anything, he understood. Seeing this, Yingying Yanyan, who came over, handed the wine glass to Nolan's hand, pouring glass after glass for this idiot who had never drunk before.
The cocktail tastes sour and sweet after drinking, but the aftertaste is overwhelming.
After a while, Nolan felt that the scene in front of him became illusory, and Chu Muyu's handsome face turned into three.
Chu Muyu supported Nolan, who was in an unstable figure, and apologized to everyone, saying that this stupid big man can't drink, and he is also sick, so he can't drink more.
Zhou Xue, who was finishing talking with the partner in front, saw that this place was very lively, and when she came over, she happened to see a young man with outstanding appearance who was pulling Chu Muyu like a big dog. The scene was very interesting.
"Muyu, long time no see." When Zhou Xue came, the coaxing crowd became quieter and greeted her one after another.
"Sister Xue." Chu Muyu also no longer had that frivolous attitude, and his tone was somewhat respectful.
"This is..." Zhou Xue nodded Nolan who was hanging on his body.
Chu Muyu squeezed Nolan's face, "This is the newcomer I brought, named Nolan. Nolan, stand up straight and say hello to Sister Xue."
"Hi, sister Xue." Nolan said to Zhou Xue in a dazed manner. She stood up straight for two seconds, and found that she could not control her balance well, then tilted her head and put her face on Chu Muyu. shoulder.
Zhou Xue laughed out loud, but she hadn't seen such an interesting newcomer for a long time. She said to Chu Muyu, "This is the first time I've seen him."
Chu Muyu smiled, "This is also the first time I have brought him to such an occasion. He was born as a vegan, but he is quite spiritual."
Zhou Xue nodded, "I really like his appearance. Do you have any plans for him recently?"
"Isn't this waiting for Sister Xue to give me a chance?" Chu Muyu blinked.
At the end of the reception, Chu Muyu not only got a chance to let the newcomer appear in the supplement of the magazine, but also got a drunk who was over 1.9 meters tall.
Chu Muyu patted Nolan's face. Seeing that Nolan's eyes were blurred and his reaction was extremely slow, he had no choice but to carry this idiot back home.
Sitting in the car, Nolan obediently grabbed the seat belt fastened on his body. He didn't have any bad behaviors when he was drunk, but he would mutter a few words in a low voice from time to time. At first, Chu Muyu didn't care what he was talking about, but Nolan mentioned his name a few times during the chatter, which made him involuntarily listen carefully.
It’s nothing more than talking about the hard work in class, wanting to eat meat, and not wanting Chu Muyu to drink, etc., but while talking, Qi Chuan’s name popped out of Nolan’s mouth.
Chu Muyu stretched his ears to hear what Nolan said, but after Nolan said Qi Chuan's name, he fell into silence, and the silence reached the house.
After finally returning to the apartment, Nolan pulled his clothes again and said that he was not feeling well and wanted to take a bath. Chu Muyu was afraid that he would tear the expensive suit, so he could only help him take off the coat in an angry and funny manner. Take it off and carry him into the bathroom.
Chu Muyu asked Nolan to sit on the toilet seat, rolled up his sleeves and poured water for him.
Halfway through, Chu Muyu turned around and found that Nolan was undoing the buttons on his shirt indiscriminately, but he couldn't get it right. His eyes were red and he didn't unbutton a few of them for a long time.
Chu Muyu sighed, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't move, I'll help you."
Chu Muyu had no choice but to start taking off his shirt for him again. Nolan lowered his head and stared at him with shining eyes, showing infinite nostalgia and admiration in his eyes. He couldn't help reaching out and stroking Chu Muyu's face. Before he could react, he leaned his face over and kissed Chu Muyu's lips lightly.
This kiss was caught off guard, and they separated immediately after a light touch.
Chu Muyu was stunned, his mind went blank, and his kissed lips began to feel hot as if they had been electrified.
He heard Nolan sigh, "I found you with great difficulty, but you no longer belong to me."
A strange feeling came to my heart, messing up Chu Muyu's thoughts. He didn't know what happened to him at that moment, his heart was sour and swelled, like thousands of ants crawling around on his heart, and he bit down hard like someone was venting his anger.
At a loss, Chu Muyu helped Nolan, who was stripped naked, into the bathtub and fled as if for his life.
