Tao Wan handed the wooden box with the scroll painting to the staff. After registering, he walked out and saw Hu Wenshan standing there with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Teacher Hu." Tao Wan walked over and greeted him.
Hu Wenshan nodded, "You submitted your work?"
"You saw me walk out of there, right?" Tao Wan didn't say it directly, but his face said, "Why are you asking this nonsense?"
Hu Wenshan couldn't maintain the smile on his face. His good mood immediately dropped, "Your work this time was completed under my guidance, so the chances of winning are very high. But if you don't win, don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work in the future."
"Teacher, you actually think that I won't win the award, right?" Tao Wan said, "Actually, teacher, you don't have to deliberately guide me in the wrong direction. Even if you really guide me with all your heart, with your own standards, I definitely won't win the award."
"…" Hu Wenshan's face turned red with anger. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is what I mean." Tao Wan shook his head helplessly, "Considering your intelligence and understanding, I've already said it so bluntly, and you still ask me what I mean. It's really tiring to talk to you, teacher."
Hu Wenshan was so angry that he was trembling. He looked at Tao Wan's back as he turned around and left. He really wanted to roar, "I'm the one who's mentally tiring, okay?"
After Hu Wenshan calmed down, he started to scratch his head again. He didn't understand. Since he felt that the work completed under his guidance definitely wouldn't win the award, then why did he submit that work? Or was it that the work that he submitted wasn't that work at all? But this time, the competition specified a large-scale landscape painting. How could he complete two works at the same time in such a short period of time?
Hu Wenshan thought that even if he submitted another work, it might not win the award. Although his painting skills were better than Xu Shaoyan's, Xu Shaoyan's work was completed under the guidance of a master, so it definitely wouldn't be overshadowed by him. They only did this as a precaution, worried that he would exceed his usual performance.
Hu Wenshan's heart ached whenever he thought of Tao Wan's mocking words, as if a knife was stabbing into his heart. He thought that it would be best to set a trap for him to be fired, or else he would definitely have a heart attack.
Wei Shicheng had been away for almost twenty days, and finally returned home. As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't wait to personally pick up Tao Wan. These days when he was handling work in a foreign company, he almost didn't have time to rest, but he couldn't help but think of Tao Wan and the way he looked when he was lying under him.
Tao Wan happened to have no classes in the afternoon. Wei Shicheng said that he would pick him up, so he knew that he wouldn't be back until very late. He left some money for Du Yi and a note for him to order takeout. Then he went outside the neighborhood and waited for Wei Shicheng's car to pick him up.
Tao Wan got in the car. After the last time they separated, they hadn't seen each other for more than half a month. Sitting next to Wei Shicheng, who exuded mature male hormones, Tao Wan was a little uncomfortable and pinched his fingers.
The original owner was considered tall among his peers. After all, his long legs contributed a lot to his height. But sitting next to Wei Shicheng, he immediately looked a lot smaller.
Wei Shicheng tilted his head and looked at his fingers. He held his hand and gently squeezed his fingers, asking, "Are your fingers uncomfortable?"
"No, just a habitual pinch," Tao Wan whispered and didn't pull his hand back.
"Really? These are a pair of great hands. You must protect them well. " Wei Shicheng tilted his head again. Looking at him trying to keep a straight face, but there was a blush on his cheeks, which was obviously due to shyness. Such a cute look made him want to hug him.
Wei Shicheng pressed the button on the door, and the front partition lowered. In this way, the two were in an independent space.
When Tao Wan saw the partition lowered, he knew that Wei Shicheng was definitely going to do something in the car. So when his chin was lifted and his lips were sucked by Wei Shicheng, although he was nervous, he didn't resist or push him away.
Wei Shicheng tasted his lips as if he was tasting a delicious dessert. He carefully tasted the texture of his lips. It was soft and smooth, with the fragrance of tea. Wei Shicheng originally just wanted to taste it first, but the texture was so good that he couldn't bear to let go.
After the long kiss, Wei Shicheng hugged Tao Wan and buried his face in his neck, which was emitting a light fragrance, and sniffed hard. "Did you miss me?"
Tao Wan blinked a few times, opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
"What are you thinking now?" Wei Shicheng pinched the tender flesh on his face. "Didn't I say you can talk back to me? If you have something to say, say it. "
"I originally wanted to say that we are just in a business relationship, and I can satisfy you physically. Even if I say those hypocritical words, you won't necessarily believe it, so why bother asking? But considering that you are now my long-term employer, and in order to be worthy of the high maintenance fee you gave me, I feel that in addition to satisfying you physically, I should also satisfy you spiritually. If you want to hear something nice, I have to think about how to say it to satisfy you spiritually. "
"You child …" Wei Shicheng said somewhat speechlessly, "You are really … straightforward."
"I have thought about what to say," Tao Wan said.
"… Say it," Wei Shicheng said helplessly.
"I miss godfather very much. Godfather said that he would pick me up in two days, but he made me wait for so long. I am quite worried about godfather. During this time, I dreamed of godfather every night, and it was that kind of dream. In the dream, godfather was very brave, and it made my body remember. "Tao Wan's expression was shy, but his eyes were very sincere as he looked at Wei Shicheng.
Wei Shicheng was dazed for a moment. For a moment, he thought that what he said was true, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "If you said these words after I asked if you missed me, I would indeed be very satisfied."
"Is that right?" Tao Yuan's face was filled with excitement. "Look, I've expressed my longing for you, praised your bravery, and even expressed to you that I can't leave you. Didn't your vanity immediately receive a great satisfaction?"
"Do you think you are writing an essay?" Wei Shicheng originally had a little bit of vanity, but after his analysis, it immediately disappeared.
Tao Wan shook his head and said, "Godfather, you are wrong. If these words were written, it would not be called an essay, it would be called a pornographic novel."
Wei Shicheng endured, endured, endured, and endured, but in the end, he couldn't hold back. He touched Tao Wan's head and said, "You should speak less in the future. Such a beautiful face, such a delicious mouth, don't be ruined by your honest words."
Tao Wan looked at Wei Shicheng and blinked a few times.
Wei Shicheng held back his curiosity this time and pretended not to see.
Wei Shicheng took Tao Wan to a high-class apartment. After the two of them entered the room, Tao Wan looked around the room. He thought that at a glance, it was obvious that no one had lived here before. The decoration was also like a hotel.
"Go take a bath." Wei Shicheng hugged Tao Wan's waist and kissed his forehead.
Tao Wan walked into the bedroom with a red face. He originally wanted to use the bedroom's bathroom to take a bath, but after entering, he found that the bedroom was more like a hotel than the outside. The bathroom was glass and completely transparent.
Wei Shicheng saw him standing at the door motionless and walked over doubtfully. After completely pushing the door open, he also looked at the glass bathroom with surprise. Although this was a property under his name, it was also his first time here. Although there was always someone in charge of cleaning, he had never used this place before and did not plan to use it for a long time in the future. This was just the closest place for him to quickly satisfy his desire.
"Be good, bear with it for today. Godfather will give you a better house in the future." Wei Shicheng hugged Tao Wan and patted his butt. He felt that the elasticity was quite good and could not help but pinch it again.
Tao Yuan thought that since he had seen and touched his entire body, there was nothing that he couldn't let him see. Therefore, he tried his best to calm himself down. Then, he walked in and took off his clothes to take a shower.
The warm water flowed down and washed his body. Tao Wan made the shower gel foam and began to rub it on his body. He turned around and found Wei Shicheng sitting on the bed less than two meters away, watching him take a bath.
If Wei Shicheng came in and did something to him directly, he might not be so embarrassed. However, the feeling of being watched made him feel even more ashamed.
Tao Wan did not know what to do. He realized that he did not even know how to take a bath. He did not know if he should face Wei Shicheng or if he should face him with his back.
Wei Shicheng got up and walked into the bathroom.
…
Tao Wan was lying on his side in Wei Shicheng's arms. Their mouths seemed to grow together and could not be separated. They kissed for a long time before it ended.
"Godfather …" Tao Wan leaned on Wei Shicheng's chest and called out weakly.
"Yes." Wei Shicheng stroked his back that was as smooth as silk.
"Don't use that position in the future. My legs hurt."
"But that position made you very excited, didn't it?"
"I promise, I would be excited no matter what position Godfather uses."
"Don't tell me you're a demon in disguise? Otherwise, how could you be so seductive? You almost stole Godfather's soul away. " Wei Shicheng tightened his arms. He wanted to knead him into a ball so that he could keep him in his pocket. Whenever he missed him, he could take him out and kiss him.
Tao Wan looked at him and blinked a few times.
Wei Shicheng pretended not to see and pressed him under his body again.
They did not stop until late at night. Tao Wan leaned on Wei Shicheng's chest and asked him to take him back to his place.
"Go back tomorrow. Sleep here tonight." Wei Shicheng hugged him and said.
"No, my brother is alone at home. I can't let him stay at home alone," Tao Wan said.
"He's almost ten years old, right? The security in the neighborhood you live in is pretty good. There are cameras everywhere, and the police are monitoring. Even if you sleep on the streets, nothing will happen. Besides, he's staying at home. What's there to worry about? "
"If he was an ordinary child, I wouldn't have anything to worry about. But he has a heart disease. What if he wakes up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and has a heart attack?"
Wei Shicheng sighed. He hugged the soft body in his arms and was reluctant to let go. He still wanted to hug him to sleep for a night. It seemed that there was no chance for this for the time being.
On the way back to send Tao Wan back, Wei Shicheng said that he would give him a house and let him and his brother move in. He would also arrange for helpers for them. This way, Tao Wan would not have to rush back in the middle of the night.
Tao Wan said that he did not want to move elsewhere for the time being. Could he give him the house? He wanted to perform surgery on Du Yi as soon as possible.
Wei Shicheng could only agree.
The original owner's father had been preparing for Du Yi's surgery for a long time before he passed away. The hospital and doctors were almost ready. However, the original owner's father suddenly went bankrupt and passed away. This matter was delayed. Even if the original owner wanted Du Yi to perform the surgery, he did not have the ability to get that much money. Therefore, the surgery could only be pushed back.
Since Tao Wan had replaced the original owner, he would help him do what he needed to do.
"Why?" The system asked.
"I already have someone I love deeply. If I were to have a relationship with someone else, I would definitely not be able to do it. I'll just stay here and guard our love. That way, I won't feel lonely. "
"Master … Maybe you don't know, but the target you need to conquer is actually the same soul. When you go to the next world, that soul will also go with you. It's just that he is not like you, who can retain the memories of every life. "
Tao Wan was stunned for a moment. He said angrily, "What do you mean maybe I don't know? You never told me, so how would I know?"
"… …"
"As a system, you didn't tell me this in advance. Are you kidding me?"
"… …"
Tao Wan stood up and patted the non-existent dust off his hands. He said angrily, "If I knew that it was the same person, I wouldn't be here feeling sad. Hurry up and send me to the next world."
"Yes, master."
… … …
The next morning, Tao Wan got up and washed up. He stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at his refreshed face. Compared to last night, he was like a completely different person.
The original owner's immune system was very weak. He would often have a high fever or a severe cold. If he caught a cold, he would definitely fall sick. It had been like this since he was young. However, the severe cold and high fever this time was not caused by him accidentally catching a cold.
Tao Wan carried his backpack and went out. Although he had recovered from his cold, he still put on a mask. It wasn't because the original owner was very popular and would be recognized if he didn't wear a mask. The original owner was not even a C-list celebrity. No one would recognize him if he went out.
However, the people in the company who knew the original owner knew that he had a severe cold again. Therefore, Tao Wan put on a mask to make them think that he had not fully recovered.
When Tao Wan arrived at the company, the newcomers who had entered the company at the same time as the original owner were already sitting together and chatting. They all looked very excited.
Although these people were only there to audition for extras or slightly better roles than extras, the production this time was not only a big production, but the lead actor's plastic surgery was also quite impressive. For them, being able to show their faces, even if they were just extras, was a very exciting thing.
Liu Yong was the team leader in charge of managing these newcomers. He was looking at the schedule when he looked up and saw Tao Yuan coming in. He asked him, "Hua Xi, are you better from your cold?"
Tao Wan replied, "Much better."
"Don't try to be brave. If you suddenly faint like last time, it will be troublesome. Although this is a rare opportunity, for everyone's sake, we can't leave a bad impression on the crew. " Liu Yong looked at him worriedly. He was not worried about his health, but he was worried that he would affect everyone's audition because of him.
Tao Wan took off his mask and said, "Don't worry, leader. I won't faint this time."
Liu Yong saw that his complexion was indeed much better. He nodded and walked over to him. He whispered, "Okay then. Perform well in this audition. I'll let you in on some news. This time, not only are there small roles to audition, there are also a few dance doubles to audition. It's very likely that it will be today. With your appearance and dancing ability, you are the most likely to succeed in the audition. Don't look down on the doubles. First, get familiar with the crew and please them. Make them remember you so that you will have more opportunities in the future. "
"Got it, leader. I'll try my best," Tao Wan said.
"You …" Liu Yong wanted to say something else, but when he thought about Liu Yong's personality, he knew that it was impossible for him to curry favor with others. So, he sighed and said, "Forget it. If you can actually pass the audition, then we'll talk about other things. Right now, it's useless."
Liu Yong turned and left the waiting room to make other preparations.
Tao Wan found a seat and sat down. There were more than ten newcomers in the waiting room. There were both men and women. They were all selected to join the company at the same time. They had all graduated from a dance academy. They were all less than twenty years old. They were young and full of dreams. But there were very few people who could really realize their dreams.
The girls were going to audition for the roles of backup dancers, palace maids, and maids. The boys, other than eunuchs and guards, also had to audition for some roles with lines. Because this batch of newcomers were all dance majors, there were a lot of such actors in the crew. Otherwise, a newly established company like theirs wouldn't have arranged for so many newcomers to audition. It wasn't an ordinary crew.
Tao Wan picked up a magazine and casually flipped through it. Suddenly, the door to the waiting room was opened. A woman wearing sunglasses walked in. She had freshly done curly hair. The way she raised her chin made her look like a proud rooster.
"Hey, Sister Qiao, how come you're free today?"
"Hello, Sister Qiao."
"Sister Qiao, you're so early. Are you going to the crew?"
"Sister Qiao, you look so good today. Your skin is so good."
All the newcomers stood up and immediately surrounded her to say hello and flatter her.
"I'm going to audition for the same crew as you guys. I happen to have some time, so I came to see you guys." After Li Qiao sat down, she took off her sunglasses and handed them to her assistant. Then she took the thermos flask. She did it in one breath as if she had been specially trained.
Only Tao Wan didn't move. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and continued to flip through the magazine. According to the original owner's personality, he would have acted the same way. So it was normal for him to act like this.
"Sister Qiao, you're so nice. You're so busy, but you specially came to see us."
"That's right. Sister Qiao must be going to audition for one of the roles. We're just going to audition for extras. That's the difference."
"I heard that Cheng Yi is one of the main actors. Sister Qiao is his cousin. It's easy for him to get a role. The audition is just a process."
"I'm so envious. I also want to have a cousin who's an A-list celebrity."
Li Qiao's face was filled with unconcealable pride. She felt very comfortable listening to these flattering words. In fact, she came to listen to these words. Otherwise, how could she, who had her own private lounge, come to the newcomer's lounge.
Li Qiao flipped her hair and turned her head. She saw the only one still sitting, Tao Wan. Her face immediately fell. She thought, it's him again.
"That's the big star? He's wearing a mask. I don't think I've seen him before. Is he our company's new big star? "Li Qiao sarcastically said.
When the others saw that the two were about to quarrel again, they quickly retreated to the side. They didn't want to attract fire.
"In our company, there's no bigger star than Sister Qiao. He's just a newcomer who doesn't know how to respect his seniors." Lin Chun-chi said with extreme flattery.
"Oh ~" Li Qiao suddenly realized. "Speaking of not respecting your seniors, I know who it is. After all, there are very few people who don't know how to respect their seniors."
Tao Wan sneered and said, "If the so-called respect for seniors is just flattery, then I really don't know how to respect my seniors. It's just that those who like to listen to lies know that what others say is not true, but still rely on listening to lies to get vanity and satisfaction. I don't know if this is a disease? "
Tao Wan supported his chin with one hand and looked like he was thinking. "Speaking of which, she's just a distant relative. Can she be considered a proper cousin? Why do I remember that Cheng Yi's fans are especially disgusted by someone pretending to be his cousin? "
Cheng Yi was indeed a big star. Not only did he have a lot of fans, but he was also well recognized by the people. Because he acted in many shows, as long as people watched TV often, even if they didn't care about the entertainment industry, they would basically know him.
Li Qiao was Cheng Yi's distant relative. According to seniority, she should indeed call Cheng Yi cousin. When she first debuted, she used the name of Cheng Yi's cousin many times to promote herself. At first, it didn't matter, but after a few times, Cheng Yi's fans were disgusted.
Especially when they found out that she wasn't his real cousin, but just a distant relative, Cheng Yi's fans directly scolded her, saying that she was shameless to ride on his popularity. Later, she was warned by Cheng Yi's company that if she continued to ride on Cheng Yi's popularity, she wouldn't be able to survive in the entertainment industry. From then on, she didn't dare to publicly say that she was Cheng Yi's cousin. But in private, she still enjoyed the envy of others for having an A-list celebrity cousin.
