Chapter 232: Isn’t male No. 1 attractive?
Halfway through lunch, Gu Ranle suddenly started yawning.
Yawn after yawn came one after another, causing her tears to flow uncontrollably.
Gu Jiu looked at her speechlessly and with a bit of disdain, and couldn't help but complain: "If you don't know, you would think that the lunch I made is so bad that it made you cry."
Gu Ranle sniffed and wiped away her tears. When she spoke, her heavy nasal tone sounded just like she had really been crying.
"Master, I feel like I'll go to that world again after I fall asleep, and I don't know when I'll wake up. If I haven't woken up by three in the afternoon, please call Liang Can. He asked me to go shopping together in the afternoon, but I guess I'll have to break the promise."
Gu Jiu's expression became solemn. He nodded and took out two tissues and handed them to her.
"When you wake up, tell me in detail how you have been living over there in the past few years, okay?" Gu Jiu's words were full of concern.
Gu Ranle sniffed again, nodded obediently, and said "OK".
Then, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, she was really sleepy: "Master, I don't want to eat anymore, I'm going back to my room to sleep."
If she didn't go back to the bedroom, she felt like she would fall asleep right on the table.
After returning to the bedroom, Gu Ranle fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the bed.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu pulled the curtains and carefully covered her with a thin blanket.
He sat quietly beside the bed for a while, making sure that she was simply asleep and there was nothing else unusual, then he left the room with peace of mind.
As his consciousness fell into a dormant state, Gu Ranle woke up in the world of the book.
It was quiet all around, the night was deep, and the whole world was immersed in dreams.
She slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on the only remaining bedside lamp in the room. The faint light swayed in the dimness, adding a touch of softness to the quiet night.
Vaguely aware of another breathing sound in the room, Gu Ranle rolled his eyes and looked towards the sofa not far away.
On the sofa, a person was lying quietly, breathing evenly and deeply, sleeping soundly.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Gu Ranle curled the corners of his lips and then sat up.
Lying down for a long time made her body a little stiff and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
She gently turned over and got out of bed, stood by the bed, and stretched her body. All the muscles and bones in her body seemed to be relaxed at this moment and she felt extremely comfortable.
During the whole process, she tried to move as quietly as possible so as not to disturb the person sleeping on the sofa.
Then she quietly went into the cloakroom, changed into comfortable clothes, and left a short note on the table to inform the other party that she was awake.
After doing all this, she left the room quietly.
At this time, it was just past one in the morning and the Gu family's house was silent.
Gu Ranle walked around the yard and then came to the gate.
In the guard room, the bodyguard on duty tonight was stunned when he saw her suddenly appear, then a smile broke out on his face and he quickly walked out of the guard room.
"Miss, you're awake!"
There was a hint of surprise and respect in the bodyguard's voice.
Gu Ranle smiled and nodded, "You are on duty tonight. You have worked so hard."
"It's not hard, this is our job." The bodyguard quickly took out his cell phone, "I'll call the captain and tell him you're awake."
Seeing this, Gu Ranle quickly waved his hand to stop him, "It's too late, stop fighting, let him have a good rest."
"But the captain said..." The bodyguard hesitated.
The captain instructed that no matter what time, as long as the eldest lady wakes up, he must tell him.
"Don't worry, I won't sleep again in the short term." Gu Ranle interrupted him with a smile, "It's too late, let him have a good rest."
The bodyguard hesitated for a while, but finally gave up the idea of making a phone call.
"Can you tell me what happened recently?" Gu Ranle asked expectantly.
"Of course!" The response was full of enthusiasm.
Before we knew it, the sky had turned pale and a new day was about to begin.
Butler Zhao kept his habit of getting up early as always. After getting up, he walked around the yard leisurely for a few times, and then walked towards the guard room.
Just as he walked to the door and was about to greet the bodyguard inside enthusiastically, he was suddenly stunned when he opened the door.
"Miss!"
Butler Zhao's voice was full of surprise.
Gu Ranle turned around when she heard the voice, and what she saw was Butler Zhao's eyes instantly reddened. He looked at her with tears in his eyes, and he looked like a child who had been wronged for a long time, which made people feel pity for him.
"This……"
Gu Ranle was a little confused by his sudden action.
"Old Zhao, what's wrong with you..." Gu Ranle asked puzzledly.
"Miss, you're finally awake!" Butler Zhao was so excited that he was incoherent, and the tears in his eyes seemed like they would burst out at any time.
He quickly took a few steps forward, stepped into the guard room, and hugged Gu Ranle tightly in his arms.
"Miss, do you know how much I miss you? I hope you can wake up every day." Butler Zhao's words were choked with sobs, and the sincere emotion was moving.
Gu Ranle was held so tightly that she could hardly breathe. The corners of her mouth could not help but twitch slightly. "Old Zhao, I know you miss me, and I miss you guys too, but can you please let go of my hand first and let me catch my breath?"
After hearing what Gu Ranle said, Butler Zhao realized his mistake. He quickly let her go and grinned.
"Miss, I'm just too excited, please don't be offended." Butler Zhao scratched his head embarrassedly, but the smile on his face was unusually bright.
Gu Ranle felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw the appearance of Butler Zhao.
She knew that everyone in this family cared about her sincerely and was looking forward to her return.
"Old Zhao, how have you been lately?" Gu Ranle asked with concern on his face.
Butler Zhao quickly pinched his chubby cheeks and said with a wronged look, "I miss the young lady every day. I miss her so much that I lose my appetite and lose a lot of weight."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle rolled his eyes and jokingly said, "I see you've gained a lot of weight, and your face is whiter and tenderer than before. Tell me the truth, have you been lazy during this period?"
Butler Zhao chuckled twice and rubbed his short hair that he had just cut yesterday, embarrassedly, "It turns out that nothing can escape the young lady's sharp eyes!"
After joking with Butler Zhao for a few words, Gu Ranle was pulled away by Gu Xiuyuan who came in a hurry.
"Sister, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that you woke up. When I opened my eyes just now, I found that you were really not in bed. Then I saw the note you left for me. You have no idea how excited I was at that time!" Gu Xiuyuan said with his hands and feet dancing, his face full of excitement.
Gu Ranle turned her head and looked at him from head to toe and couldn't help laughing.
This guy's hair was so messy that it looked like a big chicken coop on his head. There were two pieces of eye boogers hanging from the corners of his eyes and traces of dried saliva at the corners of his mouth. His pajamas were worn inside out and the buttons were buttoned incorrectly. His pants were put on from front to back. He wore the right slipper on his left foot and the left slipper on his right foot.
Gu Ranle thought, even if his fans were beaten to death, they would never believe that the bright and handsome young man on the screen would be so sloppy at home.
I simply couldn’t see it!
She took a deep breath, patted Gu Xiuyuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Actually, even if you don't say it, I can see how excited you are."
When Gu Xiuyuan heard this, he was as happy as a child, leaning his head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I have finished filming this play, and I want to rest for a while."
"If you want to rest, just rest." Gu Ranle touched his head lovingly.
Gu Xiuyuan sighed and said helplessly, "But Brother Zhang disagreed, so he gave me a week off. He didn't even let me rest properly, and he also gave me several commercials to shoot in Gucheng, including one today."
Gu Ranle frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Why? Have you signed the contract for the next movie?"
Gu Xiuyuan scratched his head and said irritably, "I haven't signed yet. We are still negotiating. The competition in the entertainment industry is too fierce. Brother Zhang said that while I am popular now, I should take on more work to raise my fame."
"Do you like that play very much?" Gu Ranle asked.
"It's OK. It's a costume drama." Gu Xiuyuan scratched his head and continued, "There are currently three candidates for the male second role. One of them was directly arranged by the investor. Brother Zhang said that I and the other one are just runners-up. If we can't be chosen for the male second role, we will strive for the male third role."
Gu Ranle frowned, looking puzzled, "Why do you have to fight for the second and third male? Isn't the first male better?"
Gu Xiuyuan smiled helplessly and said, "The male lead has already been decided. He is a talented actor. We can't compete with him."
"Powerful? What do you mean by powerful? A large enough number of fans? Excellent acting skills? Enough trophies? Or strong financial resources?" Gu Ranle asked a series of questions, leaving Gu Xiuyuan a little overwhelmed.
"This..." Gu Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
Looking at Gu Xiuyuan's silly and cute look, Gu Ranle couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll call Zhang Fang today and ask him to give you a holiday. The Spring Festival is coming soon, so spend the New Year at home."
She turned around and asked Gu Xiuyuan: "How long have you not been to school?"
Without waiting for Gu Xiuyuan to answer, Gu Ranle said to herself, "Filming is important, but you can't fall behind in your studies. You can go to school after the Spring Festival, and study hard in the first half of next year. If you really feel bored, you can take some suitable advertisements."
Gu Xiuyuan didn't hesitate at all and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I will follow your arrangements."
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes speechlessly and said in a fake angry tone, "Can't you have your own ideas?"
Gu Xiuyuan hugged her arm and said proudly, "No need. Sister has arranged everything for me clearly. Why should I bother? I will listen to you."
Gu Ranle looked at Gu Xiuyuan's eyes full of trust, and a sense of bitterness inexplicably arose in her heart.
He is now overly dependent on her, and this is related to the harm he has suffered.
A small cut on the hand would leave a scar, let alone the fact that he suffered both physical and mental trauma.
But is such dependence good or bad for him?
Gu Ranle felt unsure.
The Gu family members got up one after another.
Gu Ranle sat with everyone in the dining room, enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by Wang Ma.
After breakfast, Gu Ranle came to the study alone, picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Fang's number.
She had already had an idea in her mind, which was to create a play tailor-made for Gu Xiuyuan.
A drama that can catapult him to the top.
This idea had actually been brewing in her mind for a long time, but she always procrastinated and was reluctant to take action.
Can't wait any longer.
This call lasted for a full hour.
But she had no idea that the situation outside was in chaos.
The shouts and footsteps downstairs were intertwined, making it extremely noisy.
After finishing the call with Zhang Fang, Gu Ranle stood up, poured himself a glass of water, and stood in front of the window, drinking while thinking about things.
I accidentally glanced at the noisy yard.
She frowned. What happened?
