I Can’t Act Anymore

Chapter 38

Mu Mu put down his phone, thinking that this guy Yao Chi is absolutely perfect.

Didn’t you hear that playing abroad is very exciting and open? Or is it that stupid men all over the world look like this?

Duan Yu broke away the disposable chopsticks and asked, “Who is it, you look so strange.”

“No one.” Mu Mu shook his head.

He also broke open the chopsticks, scraped off the wooden thorns on them, and sighed: “It’s 2021, and the contemporary straight men’s strike-up skills are still stuck in the 3G era!”

Duan Yu intuitively felt that there was a melon in it.

But Mu Mu didn’t seem to want to cut melons for him to eat.

The male star felt that he had lost a lot.

A melon that cannot be eaten is worse than not knowing its existence.

Damn, so curious!

Mu Mu ate the fatty beef in sour soup, glanced at the camera on the cutting table, thought for a moment, then turned to Duan Yu and asked, “If you want to give Qin Yucheng a gift, what should you give?”

This camera was given by Qin Yucheng, and he had to return the gift.

It’s just that he definitely won’t return such a high value—Mu Mu is a Xinyi school. He believes that everyone’s consumption level is different, and the concept of gift giving is naturally different.

At the same level of consumption, it is of course good to be able to exchange gifts of the same value, but he is not at the same level of consumption as Qin Yucheng.

So I can only do my best to return the gift, as long as I want it.

It was also thanks to Qin Yucheng who only sent one A6600, probably because he didn’t know much about it, so it wasn’t too stressful to return the gift.

Mu Mu’s account book remembers all of this very clearly, and separates himself from all things that can be separated from the original owner, and tries to avoid overlapping with him too much.

It’s not out of any spiritual need to draw a line with the original owner and prove that they are two completely different people.

It’s just that he is more used to doing his own things and being responsible for his own choices.

Mu Mu took a bite of the rice and asked additionally, “From a practical point of view, what is more appropriate to give?”

“Ah…” Duan Yu bit his chopsticks, “Generally speaking, it’s just lighters, watches, perfume, collar button brooches and so on.”

“He doesn’t wear perfume, he doesn’t smoke.”

Mu Mu had never seen Qin Yucheng spray perfume.

There is always only the fragrance of laundry detergent or softener on his body.

As for smoking, it’s even more so. Qin Yucheng’s living habits have no bad habits except staying up late and liking to drink.

The male star nodded: “What about the watch?”

Mu Mu thought about his account book, and said euphemistically, “It’s not easy to choose a watch, considering his current value.”

“Yes.” Duan Yu nodded.

In Qin Yucheng’s current situation, the watch is too good, but the accessories can’t keep up with it, which makes people think he is vain, and the watch is too bad, which makes him look out of style.

There are also a few men’s watches in the cloakroom, all of which are brand classics that can’t go wrong, and these are completely enough for Qin Yucheng.

Of course, the most important thing is… Mu Mu doesn’t have that much budget to buy a watch for Qin Yucheng.

How do you say something?

Poor car, rich watch.

Mu Mu touched his account book, feeling unbearable.

“Then you can give a tie.” The male star said, “When I went to your house before, the ties in the cloakroom were black and gray. It looked like Qin Yucheng bought it himself. You must have never given it away.”

Mu Mu: Σ? !

Grass, can you see that too?

I can’t even see it myself!

Mu Mu admired the male star’s observation ability, and at the same time felt that the male star’s suggestion was indeed worth referring to.

No matter how expensive the tie is, it will always be in such a range. It will not lose its grade if you give it away, and it is quite practical.

I have to go to Guojin in the afternoon.

—Come back before Qin Yucheng comes to pick him up.

As Mu Mu thought about it, he felt his nose itch a bit, as if he wanted to sneeze, but he didn’t brew it for a long time.

The male star looked at him frowning tightly and wanted to hit him, and said anxiously: “Someone misses you? Who do you think?”

Mu Mu rubbed his nose, thinking that it was too much, he couldn’t think of it at all.

A whole stamp collection!

Makizawa, who is not in the stamp collection but is really thinking about his brother, finished his meal.

He looked at his schedule, and it was lunch break from 1:30 to 2:30 after dinner.

It’s fifteen past one.

There is still a quarter of an hour.

Mu Ze frowned, and called the bank.

Mu Ze knew Mu Mu’s bank card account number and password, and even the stock account belonging to Mu Mu had been operated by him all the time.

It is easy for him to check the expenditure status of Mu Mu’s account.

Mu Ze watched the second hand on the wall beating with the pendulum, and after five minutes and twenty-six seconds, he got a reply from the other end of the phone.

Mu Mu made many large purchases in Z City, Province G.

Unfortunately, Yao Chi had just returned to China, and he was also in Z City.

“Mr. Mu, there are still a few large transfers here, which have been transferred to other platforms. We can’t track the whereabouts of the subsequent funds.”

“Give me running water.” Mu Ze briefly explained, and then hung up the phone.

Mu Ze had a cold expression on his face, frowning, looking unhappy.

Through the thick sound-proof glass, the migrant workers in the hall outside noticed this.

“Anyone else made a mistake at work?” A girl asked loudly.

The colleague next to him was also very surprised: “No, the meeting this morning went smoothly, without any accidents.”

“Then why does the boss have the expression of ‘a bold mortal disrupting my plan’?”

“I don’t know.” The colleague said deeply, “Maybe it’s because the auntie in the cafeteria scooped up a few more green peppers for the boss today.”

A group of people looked at each other, laughing and laughing, and the air was filled with joy for a while.

Mu Ze is obsessive-compulsive.

Even though he has explained countless times that he does not suffer from this disease, he is still covered with this hat.

He hates all unplanned situations, and has a timetable that is accurate to minutes every day, allowing him to follow the plan step by step step by step.

But there’s always someone who messes up his pace.

For example, those migrant workers who always have mistakes, such as his parents, such as his younger brother.

But Mu Ze has always been firm.

When it was half past one, he simply threw away the half-printed bank statement, turned around and pulled down the venetian blind, and entered the lounge.

Mu Mu’s long-suppressed sneeze finally came out.

He rubbed his nose, thinking that the miss of Mr. Stamps is really long-lasting, and it has already passed at noon.

Mu Mu went to Guojin in the afternoon.

Although he doesn’t know much about makeup, his aesthetics are still online.

Most of the clothes in Qin Yucheng’s closet are very serious styles, so it is not suitable for jumpy colors or gaudy ties.

For example, those with floral elements and those with obvious color contrast are not suitable.

Mu Mu finally picked out a silk tie with a blue bee webbing, packed it up, carried the bag back to the studio, and returned to work.

When Qin Yucheng came to pick him up, he found that Duan Yu didn’t lie on the sofa to write and draw today, but just like Mu Mu, he bent over his desk and typed.

Qin Yucheng raised his hand and knocked on the door: “It’s off work.”

The actor didn’t even raise his head: “Go back, I’ll do it for a while.”

Mu Mu ignored him, put down the camera, put on the tie she bought for Qin Yucheng, packed up and went home from get off work.

When Mu Mu brought him to the door, Qin Yucheng asked, “Why is the male star working today?”

“He just came up with a design, and his hands are warm.” Mu Mu replied, he followed Qin Yucheng to the elevator entrance, looked down at the shopping bag in his hand, his scalp was numb.

To tell you the truth.

He hasn’t given anyone a present for many years.

In the past, the only recipient of presents was his mother—and mother, no matter what she gave, even if A Zhai just cooked her a big meal, she would be very happy.

Yes, hateful.

What should be the procedure for gift giving? !

What did Qin Yucheng do before?

Mu Mu picked at the wool rope of the shopping bag with her fingertips, recalled it, hesitated for a while, and was about to stuff the shopping bag to Qin Yucheng when the elevator arrived.

There are two couples standing in the elevator.

Hugging in broad daylight is very indecent!

Mu Mu silently put back the hand that had just been lifted up, and followed Qin Yucheng into the elevator.

Qin Yucheng saw the bag in Mu Mu’s hand: “Go shopping today?”

“…Well.” Mu Mu responded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, “…it’s for you, a gift.”

Qin Yucheng was taken aback.

“For me?”

The two young couples next to him secretly poked and looked over.

The boy showed a little envy.

“…You gave me a camera in return.” Mu Mu explained.

So the girl next to her also showed a little envy.

Qin Yucheng looked at Mu Mu in a daze – even showing a bit of astonishment.

He never expected that Mu Mu would give him a gift.

Although it was a return gift, it was also a gift.

Mu Mu couldn’t understand the meaning of Qin Yucheng’s blankness, so he had to bite the bullet and stuff the shopping bag into Qin Yucheng’s hand.

Qin Yucheng subconsciously caught it, and lowered his eyes to take out the gift box in the bag: “I can open it…”

Halfway through his speech, he caught the curious eyes of the two young couples next to him, smiled at them, and put the gift box back.

Qin Yucheng said naively: “Don’t show it to others.”

Mu Mu:?

Little couple:? ?

The elevator door opened at this time, Qin Yucheng stretched out his hand to hold Mu Mu, walked like flying, and got into the car in a hurry.

Mu Mu, who had been sitting in the back seat, was stuffed into the co-pilot by him.

Mu Mu turned to look at Qin Yucheng who sat in the driver’s seat and took out the gift box from the bag.

“I dismantled it?” Qin Yucheng smiled, with high interest visible to the naked eye.

“…” Mu Mu looked at Qin Yucheng’s over-expectation, suddenly worried about what he would do if he didn’t like this gift.

But I bought it all, and I gave it away…

“…Remove it.” Mu Mu grabbed the seat belt nervously, watched Qin Yucheng pull off the ribbon on the gift box, and pursed his lips, “Are you happy?”

“En.” Qin Yucheng kept unwrapping gifts, “Gifts…” He paused for a moment, then continued, “I haven’t received a gift for some years.”

His adoptive parents love him very much. Every year, no matter what kind of messy holidays, they will always take time out of their busy schedules to surprise him in different ways.

But since his adoptive parents left unexpectedly, no one has paid so much attention to him.

Mu Mu vaguely captured Qin Yucheng’s depression for a moment, but this person hid it so well that Mu Mu was not sure if he was thinking too much.

He said dryly, “That’s a coincidence.”

Qin Yucheng paused when he unwrapped the gift: “Huh?”

“I haven’t given anyone a gift for some years.”

Qin Yucheng raised his eyes: “My honor?”

“That’s not true, it’s because you gave me a gift, and I should return the gift.” Mu Mu explained.

Qin Yucheng raised his eyebrows, and didn’t mind Mu Mu’s statement that it was like paying off a debt.

No matter what Mu Mu said, it was a fact that he gave a gift.

Qin Yucheng remembered that he had read such a passage in “The Besieged City”:

Eating and borrowing books are two extremely ambiguous things. Once borrowed and returned, once invited and left, the relationship is thus formed. *

In today’s situation, it makes sense to exchange borrowed books for gifts.

—According to what Mu Mu said, if he gave him another gift, Mu Mu would definitely return the gift.

This time and again, the relationship will end soon.

Qin Yucheng was in a particularly happy mood.

He opened the gift box and saw the neatly placed tie inside.

He tilted his head to look at Mu Mu, once again there was a little soft affection in the peach blossom eyes that had been condensed for a long time: “Thank you, I like it very much.”

Mu Mu, however, seemed to be stabbed, and quickly looked away, her voice was vague and stumbled: “…you like it, just like it.”

Mu Mu felt that something was wrong with him.

He intuitively felt that he shouldn’t return the gift to Qin Yucheng.

Qin Yucheng looked at Mu Mu.

Mu Mu was nervous, and he didn’t notice that he tightened his trouser legs with his fingertips.

Qin Yucheng covered the gift box, put it back into the shopping bag, put it in the back seat, and started the car.

Mu Mu fidgeted on Qin Yucheng’s co-pilot.

This is really an ambiguous position.

It’s not far, it’s not close, but it seems to be able to feel the heat from another person at a short distance.

You don’t need to turn your head, and you can easily see each other’s movements clearly with only peripheral vision.

Even though he has been with Qin Yucheng for a while, Mu Mu still can’t adapt to the ambiguous distance in this closed space.

Qin Yucheng looked at the traffic light ahead, and turned his head to look at Mu Mu.

Mu Mu sat upright.

Qin Yucheng tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips and asked, “What do you like?”

“What?”

“What do you like?” Qin Yucheng asked, “According to your rules, if you gave me a gift, I should return it.”

Mu Mu:? ? ?

Can you still make dolls like this?

Mu Mu was shocked.

Mu Mu shook his head solemnly: “You have already given me the most precious gift.”

Qin Yucheng was stunned. He recalled a circle, and the relaxed expression on his face gradually solidified.

Mu Mu observed Qin Yucheng’s expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

Not happy again!

This dude is really capricious!

Qin Yucheng said coldly: “If you’re talking about the divorce agreement, I’ve already torn it up.”

Mu Mu:? ? ?

Mu Mu almost didn’t bring it up in one breath, and turned over on the spot.

But that’s okay.

A Zhai whispered: “It’s okay, I saved it in my computer, you can tear up as many copies as you want.”

Qin Yucheng never expected that he would be defeated by Mu Mu here.

But he didn’t find it funny.

Qin Yucheng pursed his lips tightly, and the car was silent.

There was a fire burning in his heart, emotions and reason were entangled, and he was terribly stunned.

Before getting out of the car, Qin Yucheng finally couldn’t hold back, and pressed Mu Mu’s hand that unfastened his seat belt.

“You talk nonsense when you’re drunk?” Qin Yucheng asked.

“?” Mu Mu was at a loss, “I don’t know, I rarely drink alcohol.”

Qin Yucheng looked at him fixedly, and finally let go of his hand slowly.

He watched Mu Mu unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car, turned his head to look at the tie on the back seat, turned around suddenly, and slammed the steering wheel heavily.

The horn sounded, and the alarms of other cars rang together.

Mu Mu jumped out of the car in fright.

Qin Yucheng looked at him through the anti-peep glass, and looked away after a while.

little liar.

The author has something to say: Mr. Qin is incompetent and furious: Does he want to give me a home?
