Yun Muxi knitted her eyebrows and asked, puzzlement in her voice. "I did not order a meal."
The young man was embarrassed to say, "Miss Yun, we are only responsible for delivering food. The guest ordered a meal, so I have to deliver it."
Yun Muxi had no intention to make it difficult for him, so she took the food and closed the door.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang.
"Miss Yun, here is your fruit!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang.
"Miss Yun, here is your afternoon tea."
At six o'clock, the bell rang.
"Miss Yun, here is your dinner!"
...
Yun Muxi was annoyed as she was bombarded by the continuous delivery. She was confused, but no one could answer. She lay on the sofa and complained, "Who did this?"
After a while, she got up and ate the dinner. Since it was delivered, she could not waste food. Besides, she liked all the foods. She was surprised at "Y", who could cater to her pleasure in food and drink as well as flowers. She wondered who "Y "was.
After dinner, she turned on the TV. She did not watch TV often. Since she had done her work, and Niannian was not around, she had nothing to do.
There was an exclusive interview on TV. The hostess asked with a smile, "I heard that only the male lead in the play is determined, but the female lead is not determined. I wonder why?"
The camera zoomed in on Director Zhao Yi, who looked refined and modest in his slim blue-black suit and white shirt. He smiled faintly and answered, "The female lead is the most important role in the play, so we will have to be selective. We're still looking for our female lead."
Then, the camera returned to the hostess. She smiled and asked again, "Gong Yu, you're the male lead. Do you have anyone in mind?"
The camera zoomed in on Gong Yu, who sat next to Zhao Yi. Gong Yu wore a black shirt and black casual pants. He was stern-faced. As the camera zoomed in on Gong Yu, Yun Muxi was absent-minded. He responded in a deep voice, "I will do my job as the male lead. It doesn't matter to me who the female lead is."
It was a pretty safe answer. Actually, the hostess intended to create a buzz. Unexpectedly, Gong Yu played down the topic.
Seeing Gong Yu again, Yun Muxi felt a little dejected. She didn’t want to watch it anymore. Thus, she turned off the TV and continued to modify the script.
...
In the next two days, she took delivery invariably and punctually. She received flowers at 10 o'clock; lunch at 12 o'clock; fruits at 14 o'clock; afternoon tea at 16 o'clock; dinner at 18 o'clock. However, the "Y" never showed up. Yun Muxi paid no attention and accepted without questioning. She lived a comfortable life these two days.
She finally completed modification based on Zhao Yi's advice. She turned off the computer and went to the supermarket. Niannian and Gu Yuxuan would come back today. She was going to cook a nice dinner for them.
When she came back from the supermarket and got out of the elevator, she saw the door of the opposite apartment was wide open as if someone was moving in. The apartment was vacant for three years after she had moved in.
Yun Muxi peeks inside the door curiously. Except for several workers, she did not see the host. She went home, washed her hands, and started preparing dinner.
She spent three hours in the kitchen. Each dish was dainty. Ever since she was a child, she cooked for herself because her parents were always too busy to take good care of her. She was a quick learner and a talented cook. She gradually had excellent cooking skills and was comparable to a restaurant chef.
When she served dinner, the bell rang. Yun Muxi looked at her watch and ran to open the door. "Coming. Don't rush me!"
As she opened the door, she saw Niannian and Gu Yuxuan standing in front of her. They smiled and gave her a bear hug. Yun Muxi ignored Gu Yuxuan and squatted to hold Niannian in her arms. She kissed the little girl's forehead happily.
Niannian had two high ponytails hanging down to her shoulders; long, fluttering eyelashes; big, bright eyes; doll-like chubby, rosy face. She was about three years old, but she was already so beautiful. Obviously, she would grow up to be a beauty.
Yun Muxi held Niannian in her arms and walked into the house. Although Gu Yuxuan didn’t get a hug, she was not unhappy but began to gossip with Yun Muxi excitedly. "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, do you know? You have a new neighbor."
Yun Muxi answered with a smile, "I know. When I came back from the supermarket this afternoon, I happened to see they are moving."
Gu Yuxuan continued, "Do you know that your new neighbor is a cool and handsome man?" Gu Yuxuan's wore the expression of a small child with a large Christmas present.
Yun Muxi ignored Gu Yuxuan and said tenderly to the little girl, "Niannian, did you have fun going out this time?"
Niannian blinked her big eyes and said happily, "Uh-huh, Mommy Xuanxuan took me to Disneyland. I saw many pretty princesses."
Yun Muxi smiled and spoke to Niannian, "Then go wash your hands with Mommy Xuanxuan. I have cooked a big meal for you."
Niannian nodded obediently, got up, and pulled Gu Yuxuan to the restroom. She suddenly stopped after taking two steps and said to Yun Muxi, "What Mommy Xuanxuan said is true. Our new neighbor is a handsome man. I really like that handsome uncle."
Yun Muxi burst out laughing. "Alright! Whether the opposite uncle is handsome or not, Niannian, please go wash hands with Mommy Xuanxuan. Otherwise, the food is going to get cold.”
They ran cheerfully to wash hands.
When they sat down at the dinner table, the bell rang.
Yun Muxi looked at Niannian and Gu Yuxuan with doubt and went to open the door. She was stunned as she opened the door.
Gu Yuxuan came by with Niannian and asked curiously, "Xiao Xi, is that Yichen?"
Only Gu Yuxuan and Mou Yichen knew Yun Muxi lived here, so it was unlikely that anyone else would come. Hearing someone come, Gu Yuxuan immediately thought of Mou Yichen.Yun Muxi asked indifferently, "Mr. Gong, what are you doing here?"Gong Yu said calmly, "Come by and say hello."Gu Yuxuan saw the comer clearly as she went to the door, said surprisingly, "Eh? The handsome neighbor?"Yun Muxi looked back at Gu Yuxuan. "He is the new neighbor?"Gu Yuxuan nodded and said, "Yes. I saw him walk into the opposite apartment when I returned back with Niannian."Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu unpleasantly.Gong Yu spoke first, "I just moved in today and wanted to say hello."Gu Yuxuan said hurriedly, "Come on in. Have you eaten yet? We're about to have dinner. Would you like to join us?"Gong Yu nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you." Then, he went by Yun Muxi and entered the door.Gong Yu went to the table with Gu Yuxuan and sat dow
Gong Yu took a break before he raised his head. He stared at Yun Muxi's shiny eyes and said coldly, "I was wounded in the heart by a sword because of some woman. I was sorrowful because the woman left without saying goodbye. Thus, I bought wine and drank all day long. Thanks to the woman, I have an incurable illness. However, this woman..." Each word was engraved into Yun Muxi's mind, hitting and poking her heart, and cut her to the quick... Yun Muxi took a deep breath without saying anything. She helped Gong Yu up to the bed and lied down. Gong Yu looked straight at her as if he wanted to see a slight difference on her face. She turned around and said tenderly, "Please take a break. I will get you a glass of water." When she walked to the door and opened it, two figures fell into the room. Yun Muxi knitted her eyebrows, looked at them, and said in a deep voice, "You're..." Gu Yuxuan and Niannian tried to be cute by grinning. Gu Yux
"The neighbor is Xiao Xi." Gong Yu's words were like a bomb exploded in Seventh Brother's mind. "What did you say? Xiao Xi lives opposite? I was puzzled why you suddenly asked me to buy the specific house for you. I took great effort to find the house-owner and buy it. It turned out that you come here for Xiao Xi." Gong Yu collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. He said with sorrow, "Seventh Brother, she has a child!" Seventh Brother blew up as he said, "What did you say? Xiao Xi has a child. You mentioned that she is two years younger than you. How could she give birth to a child before 23? Who's her husband?" Gong Yu said coldly, "I only saw a three-year-old little girl. There seems to be no man in their family." "What? She had a child without getting married or she is a single mother. It sounds wrong. Yun Muxi is 23 years old while the child is 3 years old. So, she del
"Mr. Gong, you've harassed me like this several times. What are you driving at? If you act like this again, I will ask the police for help!" Yun Muxi looked cool and said fiercely. "Ho-Ho... harass! You dare to threaten me!" Gong Yu said in a deep voice. Then, he smiled evilly, which made Yun Muxi more uneasy. "Mr. Gong..." Before she finished speaking, Gong Yu kissed her with his cold lips fiercely. She only felt pain on her lips and began to struggle up. He held her two fine and slim hands so that she was no longer able to struggle. Yun Muxi wanted to beg for mercy several times but she was unable to speak. She wanted to bite him but he was always able to keep away from her skillfully. She was anxious and burst into tears while Gong Yu was irrational and turned a blind eye to her. She was unable to resist or struggle, so she closed her eyes desperately... Just then, the door slammed with a "bang", wh
Yun Muxi seemed to see through Gu Yuxuan's thoughts. Before Gu Yuxuan spoke out, Yun Muxi said directly, "Curiosity killed the cat. You'd better keep your curiosity to yourself!" Seeing that hopes had been dashed, Gu Yuxuan fell into the sofa disappointedly like a "Beijing repose". She looked sluggish as if she was declaring her dissatisfaction in this special way. Yun Muxi knew Gu Yuxuan's temper, so she ignored her and went to the kitchen. She cut fruit, warmed a cup of milk, and brought out the food to the tea table. Gu Yuxuan didn't want to talk to her, so she tilted her eyes. Yun Muxi turned on the TV set unconcernedly. She switched the TV channels while eating fruit. The fruit fragrance gradually pervaded in the air. Besides, Yun Muxi munched on as if she was enjoying it very much. Seeing this, Gu Yuxuan was drooling and she could not help grabbing the fruit fork from Yun Muxi and gulping it. ... The next day
Yun Muxi said with a pretended lightness, "Hey, she's just a kid. Maybe Niannian just likes his handsome face. You know she is a typical face obsessed." Yun Muxi took out bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen. She said softly, "Hurry up to wash your hands and have a meal. The food is getting cold." Mou Yichen lowered down and spoke to Niannian tenderly, "Niannian, let's go to wash hands. We're going to have a meal." Niannian nodded tamely and bounced to wash hands with Mou Yichen. Seeing Mou Yichen treat Niannian gently, Yun Muxi sighed lightly, with a helpless expression. After washing hands, the three people sat at the dining table. They got along with each other in harmony like a family. Mou Yichen picked up food for Niannian and Yun Muxi. Yun Muxi responded with a warm smile while Niannian ate obediently, looking at them from time to time, with a bright smile. The warm picture was interrupted by an explosion of che
Zhao Yi glanced at He Xin after he finished his sentence and the latter swiftly added, "That's the case. Old Zhao always enjoyed a good reputation in the circle. His character, talent, and fame are all acknowledged. Old Zhao would always work with reliable people and that's one of the reasons why he's so likable. If he makes an exception and employs Ding Sisi, I'm worried that it'll bring an adverse impact on the entire film production. Not only will that ruin Old Zhao's reputation, but also the whole film. So we're worried about using her." Frowning, Yun Muxi began to carefully ponder about this issue. Then she said calmly, "I'm not familiar with what's going on inside the circle and I don't usually pay attention to it either. Now that I've heard you both, I really have no idea who to choose." Seeing as Yun Muxi did not offer them a good suggestion, Zhao Yi turned to look at Gong Yu. "What about you, Gong Yu? What do you think?" Go
Gu Yuxuan laughed cheerfully and patted her chest. "It's no problem at all! I'll just be writing my thesis this semester. I don't really have anything on at the moment. Just leave Niannian to a great idler like me." Yun Muxi flashed her a grateful smile. "Hm. I've already registered Niannian in a kindergarten. She can stay there during the daytime and you'll just have to help pick and drop her off. Of course, if I have the time, I'll do it myself." Gu Yuxuan lovingly caressed Niannian's head. "Our dearest little princess Niannian is all grown up! You're about to enter a kindergarten!" Yun Muxi appeared to have thought of something. "Oh right, I'll be going to campus this afternoon. I'll have to leave Niannian to you then. Since I'm done with my thesis, I want to show it to my supervisor. If there's no issue with it, I'll just have to wait for my thesis defense and graduation. I'll be able to make sure of the free time to focus
