Rong Yue drank all the coffee in one gulp, but the bitter taste could not dispel his excessive mood.
Fang Shan looked eager to give it a try, but Rong Yue turned away and refused to discuss whether it could happen.
"But speaking of children," he raised his chin slightly, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "it reminds me of a person. If he can join the company, I'm afraid we can become a top record company."
Fang Shan's interest ignited: "So powerful?"
There was regret in Rong Yue's tone: "After all, when he was still in the industry, he was already a world-class legend. The reason for quitting the industry seems to be to take care of children."
Fang Shan doubted: "Isn't it a bit far-fetched?"
Why does it sound unreliable to give up your career for the sake of your children
There are many people in the circle who are getting married and having children, and I have never heard of anyone specifically quitting the circle.
Rong Yue spread his hands: "The child's biological mother is unknown. It is said that the child was born out of wedlock. The two broke up before the child was born."
Fang Shan smiled and rolled his eyes: "You should have told me about such a good target earlier."
Faced with his strange behavior, Rong Yue was on guard: "The target?"
Fang Shan coughed lightly and concealed his true feelings: "I mean, it would be a pity not to discover such an outstanding singer in our company."
"You can go and try it."
Not expecting the expected warning, Fang Shan looked over in surprise.
Rong Yue: "There are many people who want to invite him to come back every year. It's normal to try their luck." He paused and looked at Fang Shan with an alien look: "Are you an alien?"
Fang Shan smiled peacefully.
Not seeing any unnecessary expression on his face, Rong Yue gave up his unrealistic thoughts: "There are really people in this world who don't know Hua Se."
Wei Sushen, who had already walked aside, suddenly said: "Your surname is Hua?"
"He's Huaxi's brother." Rong Yue wanted to say a few more words, but he saw that Fang Shan had called Huaxi at some point, as if he was on a blind date and wanted to find out all about the other person's family background.
Huaxi was pestered by him tirelessly, and finally said, "If you want to see a real person up close, I can take you to visit." '
It was originally just an angry talk, but who would have expected that within thirty minutes, Fang Shan's group of people would appear at his door.
Huaxi was kidnapped and put into the car with a fried dough stick in her mouth.
"I said you..." His unkempt hair was almost straightened with anger: "Are you crazy?"
Fang Shan spoke out his plan without hesitation: "If your brother can be signed into the company, he will be a living brand."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with determination to win.
Signing a former world superstar, plus Wei Sushen and Hua Xi, the task is just around the corner.
Wei Sushen saw this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly. The system seemed to be rushing to complete the task because it wanted to go back to the past to meet someone.
Fang Shan seemed to feel something, and she met him inadvertently out of the corner of her eye, her face stiffened for a moment... The host's expression always felt a little scary.
He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened. The green trees greatly eased the ups and downs in his heart. Fang Shan regained his composure and began to ask about Huase.
Hua Xi leaned against the cushions indifferently: "The world mythologizes him, but he is actually an ordinary person with singing talent."
Rong Yue pricked up his ears while driving. There were not many opportunities to hear the gossip of superstars.
Hua Xi: "My sister-in-law passed away due to an accident not long after giving birth to the child. My brother regretted that he had too little time to spend with his family, so he made up his mind to leave the circle."
Rong Yue almost came to a sudden stop: "Those so-called rumors..."
"Fake." Hua Xi was speechless: "I didn't expect even you to believe it."
Rong Yue was a little embarrassed: "After all, he is an idol."
Rong Yue's disillusionment with idols came from seeing a completely unkempt man waving a fan in the yard.
Except for her face, there is not a single good thing about her body.
Rong Yue was so shocked by the reality that he couldn't recover from it. It wasn't until Huaxi called him brother that he had no choice but to face the truth.
Hua Se took one look and then looked away: "You brought someone else here again."
"It's an idiot," Hua Xi said as he walked: "Idiots are dreaming about letting you return to the big family of music."
Hua Se then paid more attention: "Looks pretty smart."
It turns out that smart people can do stupid things.
Fang Shan: "There are no absolutes in the world."
The next sentence was buried silently in my heart without saying it: I'm just afraid of having a mental connection.
Hua Se jumped up from the chair. As she got closer, her unshaven face blurred its original beauty. Rong Yue was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak. He held on to the fence to comfort himself that he might be dreaming.
"It's not that there is no room for negotiation." Hua Se fell back on the chair again, crossed his legs in a comfortable posture, and put away a bit of joke in his eyes: "Before my wife passed away, she hid something in the house. If you can find out, I will agree to sign the contract."
Fang Shan's first reaction was to observe the expression on Hua Xi's side. He was also confused and didn't seem to know.
"Sister-in-law would hide something from you?" Before Fang Shan could say anything, Hua Xi couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
Hua Se said disgustedly: "It's none of your business. Do you want to stay for dinner or get out now?"
Huaxi thought about his brother's bad temper and decided to leave Fangshan and his group.
Not long after, Rong Yue left on his own, refusing to see the shattered idol again.
Hua Se seemed unkind. Although he asked them to find something, he didn't say what it was.
Fang Shan looked at the building in front of him with a sigh: "This house is not small. Since we are looking for something, can you allow us to borrow it for two days?"
Hua Se threw them a bunch of keys: "Please do as you like."
Fang Shan took it with a smile and pulled Wei Sushen forward. After entering the door, the smile disappeared little by little.
Wei Sushen turned slightly sideways, looked at the overly comfortable people in the yard through the window, and frowned.
Fang Shan: "What are you looking at?"
Wei Sushen narrowed his eyes: "There is a sense of disobedience about that person."
Even when facing his biological brother, there is not much affection in his eyes. He looks casual but there is a sense of indifference underneath.
Fang Shan: "Don't worry too much, the mission system is the best early warning."
"Early warning?"
Fang Shan nodded: "When there is an emergency, the task system will add temporary tasks. The host has not received any prompts so far, which proves that everything is under control."
Temporary task: Painting the skin of the skin.
Note: You arrived at the home of the former Uranus superstar, and he welcomed you warmly. However, you soon discover that there seems to be something remarkable hidden in this house.
Success reward: Find it before dawn and get Painted Skin x1.
Penalty for failure: Kill or behead, please do as I please.
In the excessive silence, Wei Sushen said calmly: "Is this an early warning?"
Fang Shan, who acted as the crow's beak, laughed guiltily: "... The host can be regarded as a small surprise."
Wei Sushen acted very rationally. He first asked the question he was most concerned about: "Why do painted skins appear in the world of mermaids?"
Fang Shan stared at the wedding photo hanging on the wall, focusing mainly on Hua Se's half: "I have a guess, but further confirmation is needed."
Wei Sushen realized that he didn't intend to reveal everything at the moment, so he didn't force it and started to look around.
The house is very elegantly decorated, with shells of different colors inlaid on the walls, and the furniture is basically made of wood. The only thing that stands out is that there are fish tanks everywhere, some large and some small, with very common fish species in them.
Wei Sushen tried to put his palm on the fish tank and found that these small fish were not afraid of people, but instead rushed to swim in the direction of his palm.
Fang Shan: "Generally, fish will only swarm up like this when they need to eat."
Wei Sushen examined the colorful fish body: "The description is very appropriate."
Fang Shan listened to his neither salty nor bland tone and sighed softly: "Isn't the host worried at all?"
Painted skin... Just hearing these two words, a normal person should at least express a little nervousness.
Wei Sushen withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket, looking at him with a playful look: "I don't think the skin of the painting can beat the skin of the shrimp."
Because of his joking look, Fang Shan also tilted his head and laughed a few times. At this time, the fish tail in the fish tank flicked, the calm water surface rippled, the system returned to its senses, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Who are you talking about, Pipi Shrimp?"
Wei Sushen's eyes moved around, but did not stop at him.
Fang Shan put her hands on his shoulders and forced him to look at each other.
Wei Sushen changed the topic and slowly said two words: "Child."
Fang Shan raised his hand and patted it: "Whose child do you want to call? Call him daddy."
Wei Sushen's face darkened: "I'm referring to the children who live here."
Fang Shan raised his eyebrows, remembering that Hua Xi said that his brother left the circle to take care of his children.
But in this house, there are basically no traces of a child's life. There are no ordinary toys or clothes worn by children.
Uncharacteristically, he did not make up his own mind, but instead asked: "What is the host going to do?"
Wei Sushen turned on the TV, found two paper cups, poured tea, and motioned for him to sit down.
Of the ten TV stations, nine are music programs. Fang Shan watched it for a while: "That's it?"
Wei Sushen: "Just wait quietly."
Fang Shan: "What are you waiting for?"
Wei Sushen looked at his watch: "Night has fallen. Painted skin is a type of ghost. I haven't heard of any ghost that likes to wander around during the day."
“…”
The afterglow of dusk was scattered, and Hua Se didn't enter the house until then. He took out a cold drink from the refrigerator and drank it. Finally, he chuckled and said, "I thought you would turn this house upside down."
Wei Sushen changed the channel: "There's no rush."
Hua Se raised his eyebrows, walked to one of the rooms without saying anything more, and covered up his yawning with his hands: "I'm used to going to bed early. Please find a way to solve the problem yourself for dinner."
Fang Shan and Wei Sushen were both not strong in hands-on skills, but they behaved in a tacit understanding. They used the chocolate on the table to satisfy their hunger.
Darkness has fallen completely.
Wei Sushen wiped his fingers clean little by little with a wet tissue, stood up and looked at Fang Shan: "It's almost done."
It is easy to breed inner fear at night. None of the fish in the fish tank falls asleep and runs rampant in the water. Fang Shan saw this scene as he took a step forward: "It is said that animals have the keenest sense of danger."
As he spoke, he held up a small fish tank, as if preparing to take it with him in anticipation of danger.
Wei Sushen took it and put it down expressionlessly: "I am a high-level animal, much more useful than a goldfish."
Fang Shan said seriously: "But the host cannot be held in the palm of my hand like a goldfish."
Wei Sushen ignored this sentence and went straight upstairs: "I remember that painted skin originally meant ghosts wearing beautiful human skins to confuse people."
Fang Shan: "There are many versions, but the principles are the same."
Wei Sushen: "But you don't seem to doubt Hua Se."
Fang Shanshen said mysteriously: "He is the same kind."
Wei Sushen's eyes moved: "That's it."
There is a very interesting thing about this house. There are quite a few rooms, but the area of each room is relatively small. It can only accommodate a bed and a table.
The room on the top floor has no windows and is dull even when the door is open. Climbing up the ladder, there are only sundries inside.
Wei Sushen turned to look at Fang Shan and blocked his ears with his hands: "Sing."
Fang Shan's expression was indescribable: "Could it be that you want me to use my singing to make ghosts fall in love?"
Wei Sushen looked up, as if he didn't hear.
Fang Shan took a deep breath and sang loudly with revenge.
Apart from his singing, there was nothing unusual in the room.
Wei Sushen's body felt slightly hot: "Change a place."
After that, he pulled the person to the next room, still using the word "sing" neatly.
Fang Shan looked at him quietly: "Do you really think of me as a singer?"
Wei Sushen showed a bright smile without any warning: "How could it be possible? You are a singer who can directly touch the soul."
Fang Shan was a little dazed by his smile and forgot to care about it for a moment.
They sang from room to room, and even sang loudly in the corridor. After a long time, Fang Shan felt bored and said, "I'll just use a ghost-catching prop to solve it all at once."
Wei Sushen refused coldly: "Frugality is a virtue."
Fang Shan pouted... What qualifications does a man who owns an island have to say this
Wei Sushen suddenly made a gesture of silence, and the two of them moved in tacit agreement to find the source of the sound. Fang Shan blinked: "Did you hear..."
Wei Sushen nodded.
From time to time, a slight gasping sound would come out of the cracks in the wall.
Fang Shan stopped singing a few more lines at the right time, and his panting became more intense. He lowered his head, pressed against the wall, and listened carefully -
"Y-yah-
Fang Shan straightened up in disgust and knocked twice on the wall: "Excuse me."
"Er-ah-"
Not only did the sound not weaken, but it became louder.
Fang Shan lowered his head, took a step back, and after judging that the wall was not a load-bearing wall, he shook his finger at Wei Sushen.
At the same time, Wei Sushen had retreated to the door.
Fang Shan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and punched out violently. After a boom, the entire floor shook, and a hole was smashed into the thick wall.
Behind him, Wei Sushen silently assessed the destructive power of the system and decided to treat him better in the future for the sake of world peace.
Caught in the wall is a black mermaid with half of its face covered in cyan scales, which looks very scary. Somewhere on the tail was rising strangely, and the moment the wall broke, it was obscured by the fins on both sides.
His interest was interrupted, the mermaid's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and sharp teeth leaked from the opening and closing of his mouth.
Fang Shan had a cold look on his face: "I won't kill you if you are a friend."
Almost before he finished speaking, the fish tail swept over. The scales on the surface were sharp and smooth, and the skin and flesh would be ripped open if it came into contact accidentally.
Fang Shan jumped into the air to avoid the attack, hugged the merman's waist from the side and threw her backwards to the ground.
Due to the violent impact, some scales were even smashed off. The mermaid turned its head and spurted black liquid from its mouth.
In the state of water mist bursting out, both Wei Sushen and Fang Shan were inevitably contaminated.
"No!" Fang Shan punched the wall and the mermaid several times, pulled off a piece of curtain to block its mouth, picked up the incapacitated mermaid and stuck it in the crack, with its tail facing them and its head. It faces another room.
After doing all this, he hurriedly ran to Wei Sushen's side.
Wei Su Shen was looking down at the black liquid on his arm: "Does it need to be cleaned?"
Fang Shan frowned, his expression more serious than ever: "It's already too late."
Wei Sushen said 'Oh': "Remember to help me deal with the funeral affairs."
Fang Shan's eyebrows twitched: "I won't die." She helplessly pulled him to sit on the ground and stared closely: "Do you feel that your breathing is tight and your heartbeat is speeding up?"
Facing the cheek so close to him, Wei Sushen nodded mysteriously.
Fang Shan glanced at the marks on his arm: "This liquid is called black sand mist. It has an aphrodisiac effect. It will be very troublesome if it is not relieved for a long time." At this point, he cursed in a low voice, "Damn fallen mermaid" . '
Wei Sushen noticed that his face was flushed and his voice was much lower than usual. Recalling the scene just now, more black mist was sprayed on the system.
"Is it hard?" he asked after a moment of hesitation.
Fang Shan turned away: "I will not give in to desire."
Wei Sushen held his chin with one hand: "Actually, we can... help each other."
The last few words were almost too low to be heard.
Breath by breath, fingers slid down from the collar. When he took a step closer, the charming atmosphere was interrupted by a rush of footsteps.
Hua Se ran to the door out of breath, held the door frame with one hand and gasped: "What happened!"
After asking, I saw an embarrassing scene in the room: "I heard a strange sound..."
Fang Shan: "It's me who's shouting."
Hua Se: "..."
Do you need to take off your clothes to hang your voice
Fang Shan buttoned up his buttons methodically, patted his clothes and stood up.
Hua Se's attention was quickly distracted. He looked at the mermaid stuck in the wall with a mixed expression: "I actually caught it."
Yu Bi stepped forward and grabbed the mermaid's tail with one hand and pulled hard. A layer of translucent film was pulled off smoothly, and the strip of cloth stuffed in the mermaid's mouth fell out at the same time.
Without that layer of membrane, half of the mermaid's body showed an even uglier deformity.
But the mermaid didn't immediately think about snatching back the stolen skin. She ignored her sore cheekbones and glared at Fang Shan with red eyes: "You're talking nonsense!"
The black sand mist was clearly the blood it spurted out after being beaten.
"Liar!" the mermaid complained: "You despicable human being, you actually cheated of cannon!"
Fang Shan picked up the strip of cloth on the ground again, stuffed it into its mouth, turned around and said to Wei Sushen: "This mermaid was beaten unconscious, and what he said is not enough to be used as evidence in court."
Wei Sushen didn't know what he was thinking, and finally nodded slightly.
The mermaid squeezed out the cloth from her mouth and said sarcastically: "I thought it was a scam, but it turned out to be a marriage between you and me..."
Hua Se sighed and covered its mouth: "If you want to survive, just say less."
The mermaid struggled to speak the last word incoherently: "... rape!"
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Hua Se: Did I come in at the wrong time
Wei Sushen: I'll give you a song... give me two more minutes.
Fang Shan: Only two minutes! separate! ! !
Wei Sushen: ...just an analogy.
Fang Shan: Break up!
