3, Chapter 3
Mu Xiuxing was woken up by the ringtone of his cell phone.
The "Cells at Work" comic was not long, and he finished it quickly. Out of curiosity, and because he couldn't stop after just reading "Cells at Work", and although the resources in the system mall were not available,
It can provide the function of online viewing, so when he was lying in bed that night, Muxue couldn't help himself and clicked on another comic called "My Hero Academia".
Then he accidentally... stayed up all night_(:3j∠)_
As a result, I didn't finish it all night long.
With a lot of reluctance, Mu Xingxing reluctantly crawled out of the quilt, picked up the mobile phone next to him, and answered the call in a daze: "Hello? Who is this so early in the morning?" His voice was slightly unclear,
But there was a faint hint of murderous intent, as if he would give you a good look without giving me an explanation.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second, and soon a calm male voice rang: "You stayed up late again." The voice was calm and the tone was firm.
Mu Xingxing's body froze, his hand fell away, and the phone suddenly hit his face. He couldn't help but hissed in pain.
Before his brain, which was confused and sluggish due to staying up all night, could react, his body had already acted instinctively - Mu Xingxing picked up the cell phone that hit his face, and sat up at the same time, maintaining an upright posture.
Sit properly, even if the man on the other end of the phone can't see you.
After doing all this, Mu Xiuxing took the phone closer and said, "...Brother Sheng." His voice became softer and softer, and once he heard it, he knew it was coming from a good, obedient child.
It just tastes like milk.
However, the man on the other end of the phone obviously didn't like this, and got to the point very accurately: "What time did you go to bed last night?"
The voice next to his ear still had the seriousness that Mu Xiu was familiar with, and seemed to contain a touch of displeasure and blame, but the care in the words could not be faked.
Hearing such long-lost concern again, Mu Xiuxing felt as if something had melted like ice and snow in a corner of his heart. Immediately afterwards, a faint sadness surged uncontrollably, but on his lips was
He said honestly: "...I was wrong." His voice became hoarse unconsciously.
For Mu Xingxing in his previous life, taking the initiative to alienate Qin Sheng was the only thing he had ever done and the thing he regretted the most.
In the school, when everyone talks about Mu Xingxing, they all say that his family background is outstanding, as if he can rely on his family's assets to open ten or eight animation companies at any time if he wants.
Only Mu Xingxing knows how embarrassing his situation is.
Although Mufu started his career by making online games, and later founded a game production company called Tengkong Entertainment, in fact, he really transformed Tengkong Entertainment from a small game outsourcing company in Xingning City to one of the world's largest game production companies today.
The top game company belongs to Qin Sheng.
Mu Xingxing was less than six years old when he first met Qin Sheng. At that time, Qin Sheng was only in his early fifteen years. His parents died young and he was living alone on the government relief housing.
After he helped his father solve a major problem at work, his father took pity on his talent and funded his studies.
Although Qin Sheng is young, he is mature. He is careful and considerate in dealing with people and is a person who repays kindness. After graduation, he refused offers from several well-known companies. During the five years of working at Tengkong Entertainment, this man has become
The original small workshop has achieved a qualitative leap.
After nearly ten years of getting along with each other, her father and mother have already regarded Qin Sheng as half of their son.
Later, because they really liked Qin Sheng, and Qin Sheng himself didn't seem to have any objections, her father and mother made a verbal engagement for the two of them.
Until the father and mother passed away unexpectedly.
The year his parents passed away, Mu Xing was just seventeen years old. At that time, Mu Xing was proud and sensitive. The accidental death of his parents and the strange looks from his classmates at school all made him instinctively curl up. He would
He works hard to do everything well because he clearly understands that only he can rely on himself.
Outsiders say that he is lucky. At first glance, animation and games seem to be two different industries, but in fact they have many similarities. In their opinion, even if Mu Xing does not work hard, he will be able to succeed after graduation even if he has such a fiancé.
You can easily enter a large company like Tengkong Entertainment, and you don't have to run around like ordinary people to find a suitable job.
No one knew the embarrassment in Mu Xiuxing's heart.
It is true that Tengkong Entertainment belongs to the Mu family, but it is Qin Sheng who developed it into the behemoth it is today. The two of them did have a marriage contract, but after all, it was a verbal agreement made by Mu's father and Mu's mother during their lifetime. Strictly speaking, in fact,
It can't be counted.
Mu Xiu Xing knew very well that with Qin Sheng's character, if he really asked for hundreds or tens of millions to open an animation company, the latter would probably get whatever he asked for without blinking an eye - but how could Mu Xiu Xing do that?
Do you really want to open this mouth?
From Mu Xiuxing's point of view, without Qin Sheng, there would be no Tengkong Entertainment today. As for the marriage contract back then, the reason why Qin Sheng did not refuse was probably out of repayment to his father and mother, and the distance was originally set.
It has been nearly five years since the engagement was made. Who knows if Qin Sheng has someone he likes?
With such a subtle and complicated psychology, coupled with the housing donation incident when he first entered college, Mu Xiu Xing in his previous life finally chose to actively distance himself and avoid Qin Sheng. The only connection between the two was with Mu Xiu Xing.
The shares of Tengkong Entertainment inherited from his parents.
The change in his voice was not obvious, but Qin Sheng obviously did not miss this. Probably taking into account Mu Xiuxing's self-esteem, Qin Sheng did not ask, but did not get too entangled in the previous topic, and instead said: "
I'm going on a business trip next week. If you have time on the weekend, can we have a meal together?"
Mu Xingxing didn't expect to be able to hide it from the other party. At this moment, he really didn't know what attitude to face the other party, so he just responded in a low voice: "Okay."
The agreed restaurant is near Xingning University of Arts.
The work in his previous life made Mu Xing develop the habit of arriving early. He thought he had arrived early, but he didn't want to wait until the waiter led him to the reserved table. Qin Sheng was already sitting there.
The man was wearing a well-dressed gray suit. He was flipping through a newspaper casually. His right hand resting on the edge of the gray newspaper had clear joints. His temperament could be described as gentle, but probably more calm. Noticing the gaze of the Pleiades, he raised his head again.
When he looked at her, there was a faint smile on his lips.
Mu Xingxing made up his mind, pretended to sit down calmly, and called him very obediently: "Brother Sheng."
Qin Sheng nodded slightly and handed over the menu: "What do you want to eat? Take a look."
Mu Xingxing was not polite to him. He reached out and was about to take the menu when he accidentally touched the other person's wrist. He was about to move away unnaturally, but Qin Sheng held it with his backhand. A numb feeling like an electric shock immediately left the two of them.
The grasping palms were conveyed all the way to the brain, Mu Xiuxing was stunned for a moment, but the latter stared at him in this posture, frowning: "Your eyes are red, and you don't take my words to heart?
"
Mu Xingxing coughed unnaturally, feeling a little guilty for no reason.
In his previous life, the relationship between the two was said to be that of a fiancé, but Qin Sheng was actually more like half a guardian to him. Especially after his parents had an accident, almost everything he did in his daily life was Qin Sheng's.
The handler is in charge.
Most people in the animation industry like to stay up late, and Mu Xingxing is no exception.
In his previous life, before he took the initiative to distance himself from the other party, he was often scolded for staying up all night. Occasionally when the Alps rested at his place, he had to go to bed early and get up early. Not to mention three regular meals a day, sometimes the Alps would
If he stays at home for a long time, or if he is nestled in the quilt and doesn't want to move, Qin Sheng will pull him up from the quilt and let him do morning exercises together.
Even though Mu Xiu Xing took the initiative to distance himself later, Qin Sheng followed his wishes on the surface and seemed to not care about him anymore. But in fact, it was not until later that Mu Xiu Xing realized that he was much more successful than others.
Throughout his career, Qin Sheng has often helped behind the scenes.
Now, looking back on it all over again, Mu Xing only feels that he was ridiculously naive back then.
He only thought about the awkward relationship between the two after his parents passed away, and did not want to put himself in a weak position where he needed to ask for help from the other party. He never thought that no matter whether the original engagement between the two counted or not, Qin Sheng treated him like an elder brother and a father.
The care and attention is genuine.
