Chapter 157: Help Me Pick Up the Soap
After dinner in the studio, Wang Shiyu quickly returned to her computer to play Landlord's Game with the "rich guy" she mentioned.
The little girl occasionally let out a crisp, bell-like laugh, shouting, "Oh yeah, I won again!"
Hearing this, the others in the studio just chuckled and didn't take it seriously. After all, she was just a kid, winning a game of Landlord's Game and earning a few dozen points at most—which translated to just a few cents. Kids are easily satisfied, it seems.
Everyone else finished their meals.
Robert thought of something and said to Fang Xi, "Fang Xi, my room's faucet is broken. Can I use your place to take a shower?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Of course, Fang Xi wouldn't refuse such a request from a close friend. He then led Robert to his room.
Robert took off his shirt and walked into the bathroom.
"Tsk tsk!" Fang Xi couldn't help but admire Robert's perfect international male model physique, "When can I train to have a body like that? I must continue to work hard to lose weight!"
There was a knock on the door, and Eva's voice came from outside, "Fat brother, can I come in?"
"Come in, the door's not locked," Fang Xi replied.
Eva walked in holding a few pieces of clothing.
She handed the clothes to Fang Xi, "I bought these new clothes for Robert. Please give them to him later."
"Okay," Fang Xi agreed.
He was a bit puzzled. He had always been confused about the relationship between Robert and Eva. Eva was introduced by Robert. At first, Fang Xi thought they had some sort of affair, that Robert had brought Eva here to keep her hidden.
But gradually, Fang Xi realized it wasn't like that at all.
The way Eva and Robert interacted reminded him of how he interacted with his own sister.
Could they be siblings?
Seeing Eva buy new clothes for Robert, Fang Xi finally couldn't help but ask, "Eva, what exactly is your relationship with Robert?"
"Well..."
If someone else had asked, Eva definitely wouldn't have said much. But for some reason, she had been finding Fang Xi more and more agreeable lately—especially the way he hurriedly pulled her to hide when Qian Xiaomai brought the police. It made her feel touched.
So she decided to tell Fang Xi the truth.
"Fang Xi, you know I'm in that line of work, right?" Eva said, sitting on the bed.
Fang Xi nodded. Of course, he knew. These days, he had been particularly troubled by it.
He even dreamt of Eva providing those kinds of services to him...
"Then I think you might have already guessed," Eva continued, "Robert used to be in that line of work too."
"What!?"
Fang Xi's face showed great shock. Robert was also... in that line of work!?
Could he be the legendary... gigolo?
Fang Xi was completely stunned. Damn, this was world-shattering!
Eva didn't notice Fang Xi's dramatic reaction and continued, "Robert was very good, ranking in the top three in our industry."
Top three!?
Damn, they had rankings for gigolos!?
And Robert was very popular!?
Fang Xi was still reeling from shock.
Eva continued, "Robert's services cost tens of thousands each time, but his clients were still endless. Whether male or female, they all praised him highly. It's a shame he didn't want to stay in the industry. Even though I was taught by him, my skills are far behind his."
Eva looked a bit self-pitying.
Fang Xi was about to faint. The amount of new information was overwhelming, and his mind was overloaded...
But he still accurately extracted an important piece of information from Eva's words: "Whether male or female, they all praised him highly? Are you saying... Robert's clients included men?"
"Yes, we don't care if our clients are men or women," Eva laughed.
She found Fang Xi's thinking strange. As hackers, did they care if their clients were male or female?
Eva continued with a laugh, "But Robert did tell me he prefers male clients."
Men were more decisive and most of their work involved commercial data theft.
Women were more meticulous, usually dealing with locating their husbands or checking their husbands' expenses.
Naturally, a successful hacker preferred male clients' business. Jobs involving commercial secrets paid better too.
Eva was speaking casually, but Fang Xi was completely freaked out.
Thinking back, Robert seemed to like hanging out with him, sometimes giving him long looks...
Fang Xi shivered all over.
Damn, could this guy have feelings for him?
"I have to go back and do yoga now," Eva stretched and stood up. She glanced at Fang Xi again and suddenly giggled, "In a couple of days, come with me to the city to buy clothes, okay?"
"Okay, no problem," Fang Xi agreed absentmindedly, still in shock, completely missing that Eva was asking him out.
Eva giggled again and left Fang Xi's room.
"Ah!"
Robert suddenly let out a shout from the bathroom, followed by the sound of something falling.
"What happened?" Fang Xi asked.
"I accidentally dropped the soap."
Robert's voice came from the bathroom, "I'm washing my hair, Fang Xi. Can you help me pick up the soap?"
Fang Xi: "..."
Damn, he'd rather die than go pick it up!
...
At this moment, Ye Chui had no idea that Fang Xi's perception of Robert was changing. After dinner, Ye Chui soon returned to his room.
Last time at Jinyun Records, Ye Chui met the director and screenwriter of the movie *Peach Blossom Hero vs. Chrysanthemum Monster*: Li Mingxian and Song Tianpeng. At that time, Song Tianpeng wanted to adapt *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, bringing a script that Ye Chui found completely nonsensical. Naturally, he disagreed.
So, Ye Chui argued with Song Tianpeng, betting that he could write a movie based on *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* within a week.
And tomorrow was exactly one week.
Ye Chui planned to go to Jinyun Records tomorrow, not only to settle the bet but also to check on his sister.
Ye Ling signed with Jinyun Records and had been practicing dance there daily, preparing for the record.
Every time they communicated, she sounded very tired but also very happy.
"The script for *The Eagle Shooting Heroes* should be ready by now."
Ye Chui opened his computer and sent a message through the communication software developed by Bai Miyun.
"It's ready. Take a look," Bai Miyun quickly replied, sending the completed script.
The script was forty thousand words long, and Ye Chui eagerly started reading it.
Of course, the original movie couldn't be completely copied, and Ye Chui couldn't recall every detail exactly. Differences were inevitable, but it didn't matter much. The script still seemed very funny to Ye Chui and retained the charm of the original.
"How is it? Is this good?" Bai Miyun sent a nervous, sweating emoji along with her message.
Ye Chui replied with a smile, "It's great. I like it a lot. Let's go with this!"
Seeing Ye Chui's approval, Bai Miyun sent a relieved, sweating emoji.
"Writing scripts is very different from writing novels, but it's interesting," Bai Miyun continued. "I could never come up with a story like *The Eagle Shooting Heroes*. You're amazing."
"Hehe," Ye Chui replied, though he felt a bit guilty. He had a knack for games but not much talent for music or novels. He was just borrowing ideas.
But since it was from another world, why not use it?
Seeing Bai Miyun enjoyed writing scripts, Ye Chui smiled and said, "I know many other good stories. Maybe you can help me turn them into scripts too."
"Yes, I want to write more," Bai Miyun immediately responded.
"Huh?" Ye Chui had only been half-serious, but seeing Bai Miyun's enthusiasm, he thought for a moment and said, "Give me some time, and I'll tell you more good stories. I need some time to prepare."
In reality, Ye Chui didn't need time to prepare. He remembered many movies well enough to recount them immediately. But he didn't want to overwork Bai Miyun, so he suggested waiting.
Bai Miyun sent a blushing emoji with the message, "I'm looking forward to it."
Chatting with Bai Miyun daily had revealed many sides of this introverted girl, making Ye Chui increasingly curious about her true appearance.
He had lived here for two or three months but had never seen Bai Miyun.
On the day they drove Jian Fan away, she came downstairs but stayed mostly in the shadows, so Ye Chui hadn't had a chance to see her clearly.
"She... should be a beauty, right?"
As he went to sleep, Ye Chui couldn't help but wonder.
The next day.
After breakfast, Ye Chui left with Fang Nan to go to Jinyun Records.
Fang Xi looked down, as if he had been deeply affected by something, so Fang Nan didn't ask him to join them.
"He's definitely faking it..." As Fang Nan helped him into the car, Ye Chui suddenly realized, "Going to Jinyun Records means riding in Fang Nan's car. Fang Xi must be pretending!"
"Chuichui, sit tight, we're off," Fang Nan said with a smile.
Then, with a fierce look, she started the car.
The sports car sped off.
In a nearby alley, the assassin Blood Fox appeared, a cold smile on his face...
