Chapter 69 Part 2 — Commonly known as, unspoken rules.
When Ren Qian thought of their purpose, he looked at Su Mou with some concern. “Brother, the mentor just mentioned that when we see Mr. Bai, we need to be polite…”
Hearing the mention of Bai Ruogu, Su Mou’s eyes flickered, and his posture subtly shifted.
Ren Qian continued, “I’m not asking you to be overly respectful, but at least don’t put on a sour face. What if you’re perfect in every other way, but Mr. Bai loses interest in you because of your attitude? It would be a real shame if you get rejected because of that.”
Ren Qian spoke patiently, intending to emphasize the importance of attitude, but to his surprise, Su Mou only caught the latter part of his speech.
That sentence lodged itself in Su Mou’s mind. His gaze became focused, and he emphasized each word carefully, “No, Bai Ruogu will definitely like me.”
Ren Qian: …
Brother, you’re a bit too confident, aren’t you?
He stammered, “Brother, delusion is a kind of illness. Who is Mr. Bai? It’s lucky enough just to meet him, let alone have him like you.”
He expected Su Mou to take his words to heart, but instead, Su Mou stubbornly shook his head.
“No, Bai Ruogu likes me the most.”
Ren Qian: …
What kind of bizarre teammate is this? Is he seriously thinking this way? Could he be delusional?
He shuddered and decided not to provoke Su Mou further, opting for a different approach instead.
Ren Qian softened his tone and patiently explained, “Let’s put it this way. Even if you manage to pass Mr. Bai’s test with that attitude, what if you offend the other supervisors in charge and they fail you? What then?”
Su Mou paused, seemingly in thought.
To prevent Su Mou from overthinking, Ren Qian quickly added, “You’re just a trainee, not even an official one. Don’t go thinking you’re some big shot.”
Su Mou: …
This comment interrupted his current train of thought, prompting him to consider a different approach.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Mou’s voice lowered significantly, but there was no pause in his speech.
“I could sacrifice my body, sleep with Bai Ruogu, and use that as a way to secure my position. Commonly known as the ‘unspoken rules.'”
As Su Mou spoke, his voice grew steadier, as if he was convinced that this was a viable plan. Despite the mechanical tone, one could sense the hidden excitement and anticipation within.
Ren Qian and Yu Le: …
How dare you.
Do you have any shame?!
They all wondered who gave Su Mou the courage to have such an unrealistic idea.
Let alone using his body to climb the ranks—considering Mr. Bai’s looks, physique, and achievements, countless people across the galaxy would probably pay to be in Mr. Bai’s bed.
But this guy… wow, he’s really daring.
The two were at a loss for words, realizing they couldn’t communicate with Su Mou. So they simply waved him off and left on their own.
Forget it. If this guy won’t listen, there’s no point in trying. They’ve done their best, and if anything goes wrong, he can’t blame them for not warning him.
Due to the immense popularity of <Dusty Life Palace>, the director placed even more importance on the upcoming filming. Bai Ruogu, in addition to handling his official duties, also had to head to the set for filming, which took up even more of his time than before.
In the drama.
Wei Huan ascended to the throne, but many people had little hope for him. Everyone knew that Wei Yang, the former crown prince, having studied governance for many years, and was long expected to inherit the throne.
And Wei Huan? He was merely pushed into the role because of the former emperor’s favor.
As a result, many took the opportunity to secretly contact Wei Yang, expressing their long-standing respect for the former crown prince and their hope that he would govern the country. They had some power at their disposal and were willing to serve him.
Wei Yang, of course, didn’t trust them. The years of intrigue had long opened his eyes to the world’s deceptions. But thinking of the many years of grievances, he clenched his fists, his gaze darkening.
“Fine,” he replied to them.
After Bai Ruogu finished filming, he flipped through the script.
After so many shoots, only one-third of the story remained.
At the current pace, it was far from enough to complete the series.
However, due to the original novel’s length, the book was divided into four parts: the youth chapter, the adult chapter, the middle-aged chapter, and the final chapter.
They were currently filming the youth chapter, and once the first part was completed, the series would wrap up. The production of the remaining three parts would depend on the response after the first part’s release. But given the current situation, there was a high chance that the other three parts would be produced.
Bai Ruogu closed the script and looked up, just in time to see Su Mou waiting for him not far away.
Su Mou stood upright, and when he noticed Bai Ruogu’s gaze on him, he froze, remaining motionless.
Bai Ruogu chuckled lightly. As everyone else focused their attention elsewhere, he stood up and walked towards Su Mou.
The weather was a bit chilly. Su Mou sensed the temperature and looked at Bai Ruogu who had just taken off his costume, revealing a thin figure. Pausing for a moment, he took off his own coat and gently draped it over Bai Ruogu’s shoulders. With great care, he buttoned it up for him.
He realized he had a physical body now, so he lowered his head and placed a kiss on Bai Ruogu’s forehead.
Bai Ruogu felt the warmth of the gesture and squinted his eyes in contentment.
“By the way,” Bai Ruogu suddenly remembered something and asked, “Where did you wander off to during the day? I didn’t see you around for a while.”
Su Mou tilted his head, about to respond, when Bai Ruogu muttered to himself, “I wonder how those newcomers are doing with their training? I should be stricter with them later—it’s for their own good, after all.”
