Chapter 33

The eye drops manufacturer had produced a kind of eye drops which was known as refreshing eye drops. So the creative department of Mo’s company simply defined the advertising creativity as ‘Refreshing**eye drops, giving you the refreshment even in summer.’

 

Although Mo felt that such advertising idea was obviously suspected of being lazy, she was in the executive department, and as a new one, she just muttered in her heart.

 

Today was the shooting of print advertisement, Brother Tie and Mo had been entangled with the issue of sunshine as soon as they arrived at the scene. Because they need to emphasize the feeling of summer, they pulled the team under the sun. The sunshine was really nice and the photos were very beautiful. But under the nice sunshine, Lin Zhicun's makeup was not that nice. His makeup was ruined by sweat almost every two minutes. At first, brother Tie thought that there was no need to make-up, it would be enough to polish the photos after shooting. However, Lin Zhicun's agent refused, saying that in public, there would be a lot of fans and journalists, so make-up was necessary.

 

Mo hid under the umbrella to send text messages to Gu Weiyi, however before the text messages were sent out, the staff rushed to call her, saying that Lin Zhicun was furious, and asked Mo to communicate with him. After more than two months in the workplace, the only star Mo met was Lin Zhicun. No matter the outside world judged him as loving to play big games or hard to do, she always thought that he was a good person to communicate with. This was probably the medical term ‘Imprint effect’. Animals have a special psychological effect on their exposure to the first moving object after birth. Like the duck she raised as a child, she watched it break its eggs, and then it followed her all day long.

 

However, this was also due to Lin Zhicun's different attitude towards her, probably because of her similar age and compassion for her who had been just out of society. Lin Zhicun's attitude towards her is courteous, and their work was quite relaxing, which was a typical of ‘More than colleagues, less than friends.’ So Mo was always responsible to communicate with him, even to appease his emotions. Sometimes Mo would doubt whether she was his free agent.

 

Mo put her phone in her bag and went to see why star Lin was so angry. She saw him with a sour look on his face and with his arms crossed in front of his chest. No matter what the people next to him said, he said nothing. Mo learned from his agent that there was one action which needed him to hold the eye drops in both of his hands and show a pure smile. Lin Zhicun insisted that it would be too foolish to hold a small bottle of eye drops with both hands, but the director thought that such an action could capture the hearts of girls, so he insisted that he do it. The two sides were deadlocked, so it was Mo’s turn to appear.

 

Mo stood on tiptoe and patted Lin Zhicun on the shoulder. ‘Handsome Lin, are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink?

 

Lin Zhicun gave her a blank look, ‘Are you sent to be a lobbyist again?’

 

She disguised herself as pitiful, ‘I’m in the low position with little effect of words, please sympathize with me.’

 

His expression softened a little, but he didn't compromise, ‘Don't think of me to do such a foolish action.’

 

Mo nodded, ‘I think it's foolish, too. Shall I have a discussion with the director?’

 

Lin Zhicun did not speak. She thought he acquiesced, and went to discuss it with the director. After a moment, she came back to tell him with a smile, ‘The director said that it can be replaced by holding it in one hand.’

 

Lin Zhicun looked at her obliquely, ‘Is there any difference?’

 

Mo nodded solemnly, ‘Yes, this eyed rops must be on your palm anyway. It's a concession from the director. How respectable you are.’

 

Lin Zhicun sighed in his heart. He didn’t care whether the director compromised or not.

 

After Mo persuaded Lin Zhicun and the director, she went around under the umbrella and looked for her phone from her bag. The phone rang as soon as she got it.

 

‘Hello?’

 

‘Situ Mo, didn’t you have your phone with you?’ Gu Weiyi's speech was really unpleasant.

 

‘I've just been busy.’

 

‘Have you finished your work yet?’

 

‘That's all. Why?’

 

‘Turn around.’

 

Mo turned to look out of the crowd. Gu Weiyi stood out from the crowd. Mo saw him very quickly. She went to greet the security guard and took him into the cordon.

 

‘How long have you been here?’ Mo saw him sweating heavily, she took a paper towel to wipe his sweat.

 

Gu Weiyi took the paper towel and wiped it by himself, ‘More than half an hour.’

 

Mo looked at her watch and said, ‘I probably need more than an hour to finish work. Would you like to go to a restaurant and wait for me there?’

 

He shook his head, ‘If it doesn't affect your work, I'll wait for you here. I haven't seen you at work anyway.’

 

Mo tried to say something, a staff member rushed over to tell her that brother Tie had something to do with her, and she rushed to deal with issues.

 

Gu Weiyi looked at the back of Situ Mo’s trot, the tight little face, serious eyes, fast pace, rigorous... professional. Such a Situ Mo was not familiar to him. His Situ Mo would be stunned on the sofa in her cotton sportswear. His Situ Mo would scream more horribly than ghosts at ghost movies. His Situ Mo would make some creative food in the kitchen in her apron. His Situ Mo would be unable to resist buying beautiful cups home...

 

Suddenly he felt that under the sunshine, Situ Mo’s small sweaty face was particularly beautiful and lovely. And... Gu Weiyi once again looked at Lin Zhicun... It seemed that some people were also aware of her loveliness.

 

When Mo returned to Gu Weiyi again, it was time to rest. She took him to a nearby McDonald's and collapsed in a chair to instruct him to order. She was busy today, especially when brother Tie left beforehand, she was left alone to support the overall situation. She tightened every nerve to deal with everything. An hour later, she was more tired than her usual day's work.

 

Gu Weiyi sat down opposite her, carrying food, ‘Are you tired?’

 

Mo looked up and smiled reluctantly, ‘I’m fine, but the star and director of was always looking for trouble today.’

 

Gu Weiyi put the straw into the iced tea and pushed it to her, ‘Acting like a poser?’

 

‘Not really. He's usually very nice. It's too hot and a little grumpy today, I guess.’

 

‘You think highly of him.’

 

‘He's not easy either. He's actually two years younger than us.’

 

‘Somebody's got a lot of motherhood.’ Gu Weiyi took a sip of cola. ‘Eating tender grass is bad for your teeth.’

 

Mo was too lazy to ignore his provocation, she just said, ‘Come over here.’

 

Gu Weiyi got up and sat next to her, ‘Why?’

 

Mo leaned on his shoulder, ‘I'm tired, lend me a hand.’

 

Gu Weiyi had many words to say, but only left sorry now. He rubbed her hair: ‘Eat something first, when will you start work in the afternoon?’

 

Mo closed her eyes and smiled, ‘You feed me.’

 

He looked around awkwardly and quickly took the fries and stuffed them into her mouth. She was stunned, almost choked, then opened her eyes and scolded, ‘You wanna murder me?’

 

He patted her on the back and helped her get along. ‘Don't get too excited. Be careful of the chest pain.’

 

Mo pushed away his hand and took a hamburger by herself.

 

He snickered, ‘Don't you like hamburgers?’

 

She was sulky, ‘I have a lot of work to do in the afternoon, at least I have to be strong.’

 

After lunch, they took drinks and blew air-conditioning in McDonald's.

 

At noon, McDonald's often has some middle school students, young uniforms, hand in hand. Mo looked at them and felt sweet. She gave Gu Weiyi a slight push, ‘Look at that couple, they are so cute.’

 

Gu Weiyi looked up and commented, ‘They are under age.’

 

She poked at him, ‘Don't pretend to be pure. I haven't asked you if you've ever been in love before.’

 

‘Yes.’

 

‘How many times? When?

 

‘Once, Senior Three.’

 

Mo stretched out and leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes to refresh her mind.

 

Gu Weiyi was amazed at her light reaction and couldn't help asking her, ‘That's all? Don't ask any more?’

 

She closed her eyes and curled her lips, ‘Nothing to ask, you've fallen into my Wuzhi Mountain anyway.’

 

He sat a little lower to make her comfortable, and then asked, ‘How long will your series of advertisements last?’

 

Mo answered vaguely, ‘Probably another week.’

 

Another week? Gu Weiyi shook the cola in his hand, and the sound of ice and liquid colliding made him so unpleasant. Turning his head and tried to say something, only to find that she had closed her eyes. He gently moved his shoulder, but she just murmured, her eyes still closed.

 

Although it was only ten minutes, Mo really fell asleep. She really had a good sleep. When she was in high school, the break was always her sleeping time.

 

Gu Weiyi looked sideways at her, who was sleeping smoothly on his shoulder. He sucked the cola quietly.

 

Lin Zhicun stirred his coffee and stared at McDonald's across the street: Inside the large glass windows, the boys and girls snuggled up. The girl fell asleep tiredly while the boy was watching her quietly. The droplets on the cola cup glistened in the sunshine and slid down one by one. On their left was a couple, kissing as if no one was nearby. On their right was a mother with her kid, the kid spilled the drink... Even though the environment looked so noisy, Lin Zhicun suddenly remembered a sentence that time is still and life is stable.

 

Lin Zhicun's agent looked across the street from his eyes, understood. He coughed to attract Lin Zhicun's attention, ‘Zhicun, your career is in the ascendant, don't mess up.’

 

Lin Zhicun took back his eyes and looked at him, ‘Have you ever heard of sacrificing the territory for you?’

 

The agent was nervous and stammered, ‘You...you, don't be impulsive.

 

Lin Zhicun smiled and shook his head, ‘I'm kidding. Even if I’m willing to sacrifice, she wouldn’t accept.’

 

The agent was relieved and flattered him, ‘That's not true, you've just been selected as the top ten male stars in the country who are best suited to be lovers.’

 

Lin Zhicun exposed his flattery, ‘How much money did you give that magazine to ask them to write like this?’

 

‘That's online voting. I couldn’t do anything.’ The agent said proudly. He had always been confident of Lin Zhicun's charm. When Lin Zhicun made the first public appearance, he offended many journalists because of his indifference. At that time, the company tried to hide Lin Zhicun, and it was he, who prevailed over all dissenting views and helped Lin Zhicun get popular. However, Lin Zhicun had also strived for success. As long as the work was within his scope, he would try his best to achieve perfection.

 

When Mo woke up, Gu Weiyi was playing mobile games with his head down, his long eyelashes drooped, which cut a ray of sunshine.

 

‘Gu Weiyi.’

 

‘Yes?’

 

‘What time is it?’

 

‘Wait a moment, let me quit the game. It's 13:49. When will you go to work?

 

Mo raised her hand and looked at her watch. ‘Uh, 14:00.’

 

Gu Weiyi stared at her obliquely, ‘Now that you have a watch, why did you make me quit the game?’

 

Mo smiled proudly, ‘I meant it.’
