OR THIS LINE, link at end of chapter)

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Ling Che asked him what he thought about the rumors of Ling Che being prejudiced against Omegas.
While he said: based on his music, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

He couldn’t clearly remember the contents of the discussion.

Could this be the reason?

 

There are all kinds of people in the company.

After eating breakfast, they needed to leave.
The protesters and news reporters were so energetic, they didn’t leave and even stayed overnight.
They probably knew that Ling Che would leave Fisher Hotel today no matter what, so they were even more vigorous than yesterday.
They vowed to not let Ling Che escape.

 

Entering the elevator, Huang Qian said: “Zhouzhou, your face looks a little pale.
Did you not sleep well last night?”

“No I didn’t.” Xu Tangzhou spoke honestly.
It’d be strange if he slept well, he felt like he was hollowed out*.

(TN: felt hollowed out means completely exhausted)

“Lu Jia really knows how to cause trouble.” Huang Qian misunderstood his meaning and reminded him, “However, you need to pay attention to sleep.
Although you are still young, you are still an artist and you have to take care of yourself.
Look at Lu Jia, he’s already twenty six years old.”

Xu Tangzhou was shocked.
He thought Lu Jia was twenty years old at most.

All artists are monsters!

(TN: Not western monsters! They’re the Chinese version of supernatural creatures)

 

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Huang Qian had just opened the car door to let Xu Tangzhou get in when Xiao An ran over: “Huang ge!”

Xiao An was breathless as he requested a favor from them.

The two spoke a few words, but Xu Tangzhou didn’t listen, only closing his eyes and relaxing.
He really needed to catch up on sleep.

I’d rather not resort to a few choice actions

Huang Qian got in the car again and called out to him: “Zhouzhou, sit a row in.”

Thx <3

Xu Tangzhou didn’t know why, but he still moved to the second row of seats.

As soon as he sat down, a long leg stretched in.

 

Ling Che wore a mask and a baseball hat.
He probably wanted to disguise himself, but even if he turned to ashes, Xu Tangzhou would still recognize him.
Not to mention his unique S-class scorching sun pheromone.

It was scorching hot, as if it could boil someone.

He silently sat down next to Xu Tangzhou and casually adjusted the seat into a comfortable position.
Luckily, the seats of the nanny van were wide, so this tall person wouldn’t be too grumpy.

 

Xu Tangzhou: “……”

So do I have to greet him?

 

Xiao An followed closely behind and happily sat in the row in front of them.
He looked back and said: “Sorry for bothering.
The paparazzi took a picture of our car’s license plate number so Ya jie is driving that one to shake them off.
Coincidentally, we met you, so we decided to hitch a ride.
I guarantee that no one would ever guess that we are in your car.
Zhouzhou, do you mind?”

That was true.
The media doesn’t know Xu Tangzhou’s car, they’d even be confused if they were asked if they recognized him.

As expected of Situ Ya.

 

“I don’t mind.” Xu Tangzhou looked at Ling Che.

 

Ling Che didn’t seem like he wanted to greet them.

‘Fine, let’s all be silent together’ Xu Tangzhou decided.

 

Huang Qian started the car: “Does Ling Che need to go home or somewhere else? I heard that Ying Chen is living happily in the north of the city and convinced you to also buy a house.
Do you want to go there?”

 

 

Ying Chen! The multi-award winning actor!

Xu Tangzhou thought, so Ling Che’s friends are all of this level.
Birds of a feather truly do flock together.

As for him, his greatest achievement was to drag his genius roommate into playing a children’s version of “connect the dots” with him.

(TN: Well, not exactly like connect the dots.
The actual game plays like “Flow Free” or “Connect the pipes”, but I don't know the name of that type)

 

“Home.” Ling Che finally spoke.

Perhaps because it was due to the events of this morning, his voice had a rough quality, “Thank you.”

 

No one mentioned the awkward meeting last night.

No, for Xu Tangzhou and Ling Che, it was two awkward meetings.

 

No one spoke in the car.
They successfully passed through the bustling crowd outside the hotel without arousing an ounce of suspicion.
They didn’t drive too far when they heard a loud shout: “Ling Che’s car!!!”

The group of people flocked over.
Situ Ya only drove the car out an inch and it was completely surrounded.

Xiao An almost started happily applauding while Ling Che looked back at those people.
He only opened his mouth to say a word.

 

Xu Tangzhou thought he said “Idiots”.

But Xu Tangzhou had no evidence.

 

Just as he thought that, Ling Che suddenly took off his mask and hat, relaxing completely.
He looked extremely exhausted as he leaned back against the seat.
His eye bags… looked very frightening.

This superstar couldn’t have stayed up all night, right?

 

“What are you looking at?” Ling Che looked over.

Xu Tangzhou: “???”

Ling Che said coldly: “Don’t keep staring at me.”

Xu Tangzhou: “……
I wasn’t.”

 

Huang Qian glanced at them through the rearview mirror.
From his perspective, he couldn’t see Xu Tangzhou.
He only saw Ling Che’s cold face as he rummaged for something in his overcoat pocket.
He looked very impatient.

Huang Qian felt as if they were about to start fighting.

 

Xu Tangzhou also didn’t dare to look at Ling Che anymore.
He felt that Ling Che was a bit irritable now, perhaps he’s moody in the mornings.
It’s best if he doesn’t speak and try to be as quiet as a chicken*.

(TN: Quiet as a chicken English equivalent is more or less “reading the mood”.
Aka: Stop speaking when needed)

He didn’t know why, but his glands felt itchy again, and it felt even itchier than when he woke up in the morning.

He couldn’t help reaching out to touch it, and he discovered a small part of his skin was slightly bulging and felt boiling hot, as if waiting for something to pierce it.

 

A hand suddenly stretched out in front of him.

The beauty of that finger overlapped with the hand in Xu Tangzhou’s dreams.

 

Xu Tangzhou looked up, revealing a puzzled look upon seeing the item held in that hand.

 

It turned out the thing Ling Che was rummaging for in his coat pocket was a packet of tissues.

When Huang Qian, who was secretly observing, saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched.

 

Ling Che handed the tissue to Xu Tangzhou and said flatly: “Your nose is bleeding.”

 

 

The author has something to say:

The two people didn’t sleep well last night, both of them thinking: Feeling hollowed out.*

(TN: as mentioned above, felt hollowed out means completely exhausted)

 

 

 

TN: Extra easter egg from the audio drama: So the voice actor for Ling Che also voiced Zhang Chengfei from Mr.
Dior, who would always say “Man, (insert some random line)” so the audio drama switched the word “woman” to “man” which is a true stroke of genius on their part imo, but that’s beside the point.
