[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

Li Youxue's fingers holding the phone tightened suddenly, but she let go after a while.In just a short moment, she had already made a decision: "The camera team accompanied me here, brother, don't worry about me."

Bai Qi didn't doubt that he was there, and said "hmm": "I have a very important task to do next... I will contact you when I come back."

"Okay." Li Youxue responded with a slight smile.

After hanging up the phone, Li Youxue heard the system's hesitant question: [Don't you like Bai Qi very much?Why would you give up instead? 】

"It's just that I suddenly thought that if I did this, it would be a waste of time." Li Youxue shook her head, disagreeing with the system's point of view. "I'll go back after finishing everything. Have you ever thought about what will happen to Bai Qi?"

[…] The system was silent for a while, feeling somewhat helpless.

Seeing that it had nothing to say, Li Youxue took a deep breath and turned around, striding towards Xu Mo.

Xu Mo was still sitting on the bench, leaning against the wooden backrest, his deep purple eyes quietly looking at her - as if waiting.

The dense leaves of the camphor tree were blown by the wind, making a "rustling" sound above their heads.

Li Youxue got closer and closer, and smiled at him: "Today's weather is awesome, it's a good weather for sleeping."

"Do you want to sleep?" Xu Mo smiled and looked at her with understanding and tolerance. "I can lend you my shoulder."

"On the contrary, you should be the one to sleep." Li Youxue raised her eyebrows and looked at him not to be outdone. "If I remember correctly, it was you, not me, who stayed up all night."

"Actually..." Xu Mo smiled helplessly. He thought for a while and said slowly, "The last time I slept was three days ago, but I didn't feel sleepy."

"You actually suffer from insomnia?" Li Youxue was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at him like he was looking at some kind of strange creature.

——Is Xu Mosheng's gentle appearance like the moonlight also equipped with Lin Daiyu's sentimentality?

"No," Xu Mo shook his head and denied her joke. "I just don't think time should be wasted on unimportant things. And, to me, it's okay."

"Is sleep an unimportant thing?" Li Youxue murmured to the system emotionally as she couldn't understand his thinking logic. "I really don't know if he even saves sleeping, eating and going to the bathroom."

【...You're thinking a little too far, aren't you? ] The system is also speechless.

At this moment, the distant ringing sounded from the main building of the orphanage not far away.Then, there was a sweet and soft female voice: "Kids, it's time for a nap! Everyone has to follow the life teacher and go back to the dormitory for a nap~"

"Did you hear that? Little friend Xu Mo." Li Youxue folded her chest in a leisurely manner, and raised the corners of her mouth at Xu Mo. "It's time for your nap."

Xu Mo looked at her, and couldn't hold back his smile: "Well, so teacher, are you going to put me to sleep? I want to hear a story."

"Story?" Li Youxue was in a pretty good mood, so she began to search in her mind to match his scene. "Well, let me tell you a story."

Xu Mo didn't seem to expect that she would really agree, and opened his eyes slightly to look at her in surprise.

"You can close your eyes now." Li Youxue raised her chin to signal him.

Xu Mo curled his mouth, and suddenly lay down on his side, resting his head on her lap.

Li Youxue froze because of this closeness she had never experienced before.

But Xu Mo had already closed his eyes, pretending to be listening carefully - with a smile on his lips.

"...The name of the story is, The Ugly Duckling." Li Youxue took a deep breath before she could barely maintain a calm tone.

Xu Mo opened his eyes slightly, his deep purple pupils had a soft light, and he looked at her with a smile.

"Once upon a time, there was a little duck. Because it was born ugly, it was bullied by other ducks since it was a child. No one liked it, and even its mother didn't want to pay attention to it." Li Youxue's voice was sweet, and she deliberately relaxed Finally, with the softness of a girl. "It sadly left its mother and wandered around. On the way, it encountered strong winds and rainstorms, was chased by hunting dogs, and bullied by naughty children, but it never feared. It worked hard and kept forging ahead, and finally..."

Xu Mo's eyes, which were about to close, opened slightly again, staring at the girl in front of him ignorantly and blankly.

He saw the girl lower her head and smile at him.Her black hair flicked around her temples, making her look extraordinarily playful and lovely.

Li Youxue looked at him with a smile, and continued solemnly: "People found that although it is not good-looking, it is very delicious."

Xu Mo's dazed eyes suddenly became clear, he blinked blankly, and murmured, "I've never heard such an "Ugly Duckling"."

"That's because you didn't know me before." Li Youxue looked down at him and replied deeply.

Xu Mo looked up at her in surprise, as if he had never known her before.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Li Youxue asked him with a smug smile while holding back a smile.

"I'm going to sleep now," Xu Mo looked at her a little funny. "You'll be with me, won't you?"

Li Youxue looked at him intently, saw that his expression was composed and did not look like he was joking at all, so she hesitated to joke with him: "But I'm afraid you will numb my legs."

"But I hope that I can see you when I open my eyes." Xu Mo replied softly with a smile.

Li Youxue's heart skipped a beat, she simply turned her eyes away and didn't look at him, still snorting impatiently in her heart - another trick!Xu Mo's XX is a routine king!

[But most of the girls are like this. ] The system is going to call for Xu Mo's grievances.

"To be honest, if it wasn't for his good-looking face, I wouldn't even want to listen to him—" Li Youxue expressed his position expressionlessly. "Not to mention listening to him flirt."

[So good looks are indeed an advantage. 】The system sighs from the bottom of its heart.

Li Youxue didn't want to deal with the system, she had nothing to do, so she took out her phone to check Weibo.

On the hot list of the day, the top two are still related to Zhou Qiluo as usual.

[Zhou Qiluo's Private Snack Bag] and [I'll Make Zhou Qiluo's Pudding] occupy the top two places respectively, and the popularity is still high but not low.

Li Youxue glanced at it casually, and simply flipped out the popular page.

[Superstar Zhou Qiluo was a guest on the variety show "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator" a few days ago, revealing for the first time the memory of the refrigerator at home, which is actually full of snacks?

Zhou Qiluo: Actually, my favorite snack is homemade pudding]

Below is a link to a video, a close-up of Zhou Qiluo edited by fans.

Li Youxue took a look and clicked to enlarge.

She didn't turn up the volume, but quietly watched the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy face the camera with a smile, his lips still opening and closing.

The subtitles at the bottom of the screen change from time to time following his mouth movements:

[Sometimes filming is very late, and I feel hungry and can’t go out, so I prepare snacks in advance...]

[I buy potato chips most often, because I want to collect a full set of superhero cards, but I often can’t eat them, because I will get fat, and my manager brother doesn’t allow it...]

[I like pudding the most, especially handmade. ]

[Someone made it for me... yes, it's the taste made by the manager of that store!But the taste is not important, what is important is the heart of making it with your own hands. ]

[Favorite pudding?It's a gift from a visiting class, from my super cute fan.In my heart, it is as delicious as the one made by the store manager. ]

Li Youxue quietly watched the changing subtitles with a calm expression on her face.

Until her phone vibrated suddenly, and a small message box popped up from the top of the screen.

[My son: Did you see my interview in "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator"?It's you!I really want to eat that pudding again! ]

Li Youxue laughed unconsciously, spelled out each word, and replied to him: [In that case, there will be a headline titled "Sudden Death of Superstar Zhou Qiluo Due to Food Poisoning" tomorrow. ]

[how could be?Obviously delicious! ] Zhou Qiluo responded enthusiastically immediately. [Youyou are too modest! ]

[Not being modest, last time the pudding was made by a gunner. ] Li Youxue thought for a while and told him honestly.

[Ah, what a pity, in the end, I still haven't tasted the young craft? /This baby is not happy] Zhou Qiluo responded again after a few seconds.

Li Youxue held her forehead and was struggling with how to answer when a new message popped up.

[My son: What about the promised snacks?When will you come to visit the class again? ]

Li Youxue recalled it for a while, and answered him very sincerely: [I don't know, let's do it another day, because I'm doing a show recently. ]

[Okay, then I'll wait for you... I'm super considerate, and you can't forget me! ] Zhou Qiluo's grievance seems to flow out through the phone screen.

[Well, you like pudding best, I will remember to bring it to you. ] Li Youxue took out all the patience she could use to coax the child, and comforted him with sincerity.

——Mainly because she thought of the behavior of using Zhou Qiluo to hype the click-through rate before, and she felt a little ashamed.

[Zhou Qiluo's favorability +33! 】

The long alley made it impossible to see the end at a glance. The walls on both sides were full of potholes, and some broken bricks were even exposed inside.

Li Youxue was in this alley, she subconsciously kept walking forward, feeling flustered, but she refused to stop.

Until in the endless darkness, a figure suddenly appeared.The lack of light made it difficult for that person's appearance to be clearly presented in front of her, but the tall and thin silhouette made her think of a person for no reason.

"Bai Qi?" She called out the name somehow.

Suddenly a gust of wind rolled up, carrying a strong smell of blood and humid air.The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by pale lightning, which also illuminated the figure in the white hoodie.

Then, her slightly cold fingertips were suddenly grabbed by someone.The hand that held her was warm and smooth, with little strength, just enough to wake her up from her dazed confusion.

Li Youxue opened her eyes.

Presented in front of her was a pair of eyes close at hand.The dark purple pupils and the irises, which are slightly lighter in color than the pupils, are crystal clear, reminiscent of extremely transparent crystals.

In front of such a pair of beautiful eyes, Li Youxue's first reaction was to tilt her neck back suddenly to get a little further away - Xu Mo must have such pupil color.

But her consciousness was not clear enough just after waking up, and such exaggerated movements made her almost hit the back of her head against the back of the wooden chair—fortunately, Xu Mo, who was leaning in front of her, stretched out his hand in time to cushion her, and supported her with the other hand. Holding her shoulder, frowned worriedly, and reminded her with concern: "Be careful."

Seeing his sincere expression, Li Youxue couldn't help trembling at the corner of her mouth, sat upright again as if nothing had happened, and then nodded politely to him: "Thank you."

"Protecting you is what I should do." Xu Mo smiled lightly, as if this was really nothing in his eyes.

Li Youxue didn't listen to him at all, and the brief dream just now remained in her consciousness - her ability was foreknowledge, so, could Bai Qi be in danger?

"You were calling a name just now," Xu Mo observed her absent-mindedness, and said meaningfully. "—too bad it's not my name."

Li Youxue was almost used to his teasing from time to time, so she just smiled politely when she heard this: "I'm having a nightmare, if it's you I'm calling, maybe you will be in bad luck."
