Chapter 335: This Man Was Rather Too Wily And Mischievous.

Wei Zilin had taken the plate off her hand and was placing it on the table.

Wei Zilin seemed to be addicted to Weibo recently. Every time before a meal, he would take a picture and post it on his Weibo.

Yu Linling: “Today's dishes are different from usual.”

“Must be the G.o.ddess' craftwork!”

“One look is enough to know that it's the craft of the G.o.ddess.”

“Is my G.o.ddess and idol currently living together?”

“The plate's not from the G.o.ddess' house. So, it must be from the idol's house.”

“Ever since the idol started dating, he's been posting on Weibo every day. How torturing.”

“I hope idol would post on his Weibo every day, but I don't really want to be tormented every single day. What to do!”

After they finished their meal, Wei Zilin did not let Xu Moyan clean up. He placed the dirty dishes in the sink and wait for Aunt Deng to clean when she came over the next day.

Then, he brought Xu Moyan to the study room.

When she came over last time, there were not any recording equipment in the study room. Wei Zilin must have put it away because he thought he no longer had a use for it.

The desk was now full of equipment. Wei Zilin took out a printed script and handed it over to Xu Moyan so that she could try to read through once.

Afterward, Wei Zilin pointed out a few areas that were lacking and taught her how to p.r.o.nounce certain words better.

“During the dubbing of 'Ma.s.sacre', everyone else was a professional except for me. So, I learned a lot from all of them.” Wei Zilin explained.

“Am I stupid. I think I'm not dubbing material.” Xu Moyan was a little frustrated. She was unable to just do a mere few words correctly.

“That's not it.” Wei Zilin's gaze grew soft as he caressed her hair. “It's only your first time dubbing. Even professional voice actors needed years to learn, and once they have, they'll still continue to study more from their seniors. When I was learning, I've repeatedly gotten NG scenes over and over again. In fact, I'm just a dabbler right now, and I would only be able to teach you the basics. There would be a huge difference if a professional were to teach you. So, don't be too discouraged, it's completely normal.”

“Okay.” Xu Moyan cheered up and continued to make adjustments.

Wei Zilin did not urge her to learn quickly as well. He taught her one word at a time and at a slow pace. Every line was repeated countless times, and they were adjusted to its best state.

He glanced at the time quietly and noticed the time had unconsciously flown by. Furthermore, Xu Moyan only managed to go through a few lines successfully.

This made Wei Zilin feel very satisfied. It seemed like this way, there was a chance that she would stay the night, right?

Xu Moyan was so immersed in dubbing that she had forgotten to look at the time.

By the time she realized it and glimpsed at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, it was already 11:37 at night. However, Wei Zilin was sitting beside her. He had his hand clutched onto the back of her chair whilst looking at her in deep focus. He was not even paying attention to the time.

Since he did not mention it, Xu Moyan was too embarra.s.sed to bring it up as well.

But then again, it was indeed very late at night. The time was about to strike 12 as each minute pa.s.sed by. Xu Moyan had no other way but to brazenly opened up her mouth and said, “It's late now. Why don't we stop here for today?”

Still, she felt guilty saying it out, seeing that she barely dubbed more than a few lines.

Wei Zilin could not care less about that, and when he looked at the time, he nodded and replied, “It is quite late.”

Having said that, after turning off the equipment, he turned his head and looked out the window.

Apparently, it had started raining, and the rough and rapid storm was. .h.i.tting against the window continuously. The crackling and rattling sound was so loud that it was reasonable to say the two of them should have heard it earlier.

Xu Moyan had been wearing earphones the whole time and was unable to notice the sound from her surroundings. Wei Zilin could hear it, but what about it?

He chose to pretend not to hear it.

At that moment, it was as if he just noticed that it was raining. It was a ma.s.sive storm as well, he paused for a while before saying, “I didn't expect that it'll rain.”

Xu Moyan was ill at ease; it was entirely unsuitable to go out in such a weather.

Sheng Town was quite a distance from here. For Wei Zilin to send her back and return here would take a lot of time. Furthermore, to be driving in such torrential rain was very dangerous. Especially at night, it would be too dark even to see the road.

Just as she was thinking about it, a flash of light flickered outside the window abruptly, accompanied by an ear-splitting thunder rolls. Making Xu Moyan jumped in surprise.

They really should not head out in such weather.

Wei Zilin retracted his gaze toward the window and said unconsciously, “I'll take you back.”

Xu Moyan was deeply distressed about this, and she refused to let him go out on this rainy day. However, it's not good for her to call for a taxi as well. Even if she called a cab, Wei Zilin would not be at ease if she went back by herself.

“There's no need for you to take me back in such weather.” Xu Moyan said.

“How can that be, I can't let you go back on your own.” Wei Zilin said in a deadpan manner. He looked as if he was unable to think of a good idea.

“But, I can't let you drive when there's a storm outside as well. It's late at night too. Moreover, there's thunder and lightning.” Xu Moyan said with disapproval and worried expression.

As if the universe were trying to give them a signal, another flash of lightning flickered, followed by a roaring sound of thunder as soon as she finished talking.

“I'll not feel a.s.sured if you go home alone. It's not easy for you to call a taxi at this time too. Even if you did, you'll be on your own and I'm afraid that it'll be dangerous. But then, you're more worried about me driving on a rainy night.” Wei Zilin's words were slow and sleek. It sounded so warm on this cold stormy night.

Akin to a lonely wooden house in a snowy mountain at night with flames burning in the warm fireplace. Isolating all the cold and danger from the outside. Even if wolves were surrounding them, and heavy snow was to cover up the whole mountain.

Only the wooden house was currently at peace, quiet as well as warming.

Wei Zilin's face lit up in a warm smile. The pupils of his eyes were warm and bright, looking like starlights that were currently not present in the night sky.

He leaned forward slightly and held on to Xu Moyan's hand. “Why don't you stay the night here.”

It seemed like the only way since neither could reach a consensus on other options. But, Xu Moyan found it difficult to nod her head once it was said out loud.

Seeing her hesitation, Wei Zilin tugged the long hair that had fallen off behind her ear. His hot fingertips were rubbed against her ear following his movement.

Her ears became scalding red as if it was really burned by the temperature of his fingertips.

Xu Moyan lowered her head as she was too bashful to look at him.

Although the two could not reach a consensus, they probably knew in their heart that he did not want to send her off, and she was reluctant to leave as well.

Wei Zilin was an intelligent person. It would be impossible for him not to notice this.

Hence, Xu Moyan was embarra.s.sed because of it. She felt like she was the one just itching to stay behind.

In fact, she had no other intention in mind. She felt that if she stayed here, there was no need for him to take her back, and it would make him feel at ease. It was the best option. It was not like she wanted to do anything else.

“Don't worry.” Wei Zilin said in a clear voice. “There's a guestroom in the house. Aunty comes over and cleans it up every day. We'll just need to sort out a couple of things, and you can sleep in it. I'll give you one of my pajamas to change into. Tomorrow morning I'll take you back so you can change your clothes, and I'll send you to work.”

He had made up his mind as well and was not planning to take advantage of the situation or anything.

Xu Moyan lifted her head to look at him, his gaze was gentle and unclouded. Making all the speculations that she had of him in her heart turned into an insult toward him.

Xu Moyan suddenly blamed herself for thinking that way and unloaded the pressure in her chest. Then, she nodded after feeling calmer and relaxed. “Alright then.”

Wei Zilin pinched the tip of her nose and looked at her as he smiled warmly. He held her hand and went to the guestroom next door.

The distance between the study room and guestroom was short. But, Xu Moyan felt an inexplicable feeling as if Wei Zilin was pulling her through a path of no return.

It seemed like he had carved out a plan and was just waiting for her to bore her way into it. He would slowly entice her just like previously, luring her into his world, and once she loosened up, he would eat her right up.

Although she knew that it was just a matter of time, she still felt nervous about it.

As she continued to look at Wei Zilin's tall and reliable back, she thought that this man was rather too wily and mischievous.

Nevertheless, she was not at all angry about his schemes. She was more than willing to fall into his traps and be enticed by all his baits. Getting closer to him one step at a time and eventually get swallowed up by this man.

She could not help but smile when she thought of it.

Wei Zilin was pus.h.i.+ng the door open to lead her in. He turned around and saw her smile, which then made him pull her closer. His long arms were wrapped around her waist, and they were now closer than ever.

Xu Moyan felt apprehensive from his sudden movement and unconsciously tried to put a distance between them.

The small actions could not hold Wei Zilin back, he immediately pulled her close once more.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?” Wei Zilin lowered his head, his nose gently rubbed against hers.

Xu Moyan was still easily affected by all his approaches. Her heartbeat grew fierce, she quickly shook her head in panic and embarra.s.sment.

How could she let Wei Zilin found out about the thoughts that were in her mind just now?

“You'll be staying here. I'll come over with pajamas, a new quilt, bedsheet, and a pillow for you in a bit.” Wei Zilin said.
