The housekeeper came upstairs at noon to call her. Shen Jianxi opened the door and saw the old housekeeper with graying temples at the doorway. She softly called out, "Uncle Xu."
The housekeeper, Uncle Xu, was Xu Da's father. He had a son in his old age and had watched the original host grow up, doting on her.
Uncle Xu's smile was kind. He said affectionately, "Miss, it's time to eat."
Shen Jianxi glanced at the time and realized it was almost twelve o'clock. She replied, "Okay, Uncle Xu. You go down first, I'll change my clothes."
Hearing this, Uncle Xu thoughtfully closed the door and turned to call Luo Yuqi opposite.
When Shen Jianxi came out, Uncle Xu was no longer on the second floor. She had changed into a loose, comfortable red silk pajama set, which made her look even more delicate. As she raised her hands to tie her hair, her sleeves slid down to her elbows, and her collar slightly opened, giving her a more alluring look.
Luo Yuqi came out at this moment.
Seeing Shen Jianxi standing at the doorway, he was first stunned, then called out, "Sister."
Shen Jianxi, with her hands raised, was inconvenienced and could only hum in response.
Since they had met, they walked downstairs together. As they neared the dining room, Luo Yuqi suddenly tugged at her sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jianxi turned back, looking at him confusedly.
Under his gaze, Luo Yuqi's face blushed, and he then smiled obediently. "Sister, can I add your contact information?" he said, holding up his phone.
Shen Jianxi had thought something serious had happened. She naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request, and besides, even if Luo Yuqi hadn't asked, she would have found an opportunity to do so.
"Of course."
She opened her phone and showed him her QR code. Seeing him scan it and become friends, she closed her phone. "Let's go."
They walked into the dining room one after another, and under Shen Mama's teasing gaze, they took their seats as if nothing had happened.
The lack of further interaction didn't dampen Shen Mama's spirits. Her eyes kept darting between them during the meal, making Shen Jianxi feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
The gaze was too palpable, and she couldn't help but put down her cutlery and look up, "Mommy!"
Her annoyed tone made Shen Mama repeatedly agree, "Okay, okay, Mommy understands."
Only then did she finish the meal peacefully.
Although Luo Yuqi was now living with them, the two of them didn't have many opportunities to meet.
Shen Jianxi was in the entertainment industry and had to participate in various programs. Especially since their group's travel documentary was about to start filming tomorrow, she had to pack her things and return to the dormitory after dinner.
However, she didn't expect Luo Yuqi to appear at her bedroom door.
Shen Jianxi was packing her things when she heard a knock on the door. She put down the clothes in her hand and turned to look. "Little brother Yuqi, is something wrong?"
He was holding a gift box in his hand. He didn't enter the bedroom but reached out his hand to hand it to her from the doorway. "This is a gift I picked for you, Sister. I hope you like it."
Shen Jianxi walked over to take it. The packaging of the box looked very thoughtful. She chuckled, "Thank you, little brother Yuqi."
Luo Yuqi didn't linger. After handing her the gift, he said goodbye to her and returned to his room.
"Xixi, this younger brother is quite nice!" 77 had been watching for a long time. He was good-looking and polite, and most importantly, every time he called her sister, it had a very cute feel.
"Quite nice?" Shen Jianxi looked at the men's wristwatch in her hand and chuckled meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true."

The next morning, catching everyone off guard, the director and camera crew stormed in with their cameras.
Lu Gaozhuo, groggy from sleep, opened the door upon hearing the knock, yawning.
The moment he opened the door, he was met by the camera. His yawn was still at its widest. At this moment, Lu Gaozhuo wished he could turn back time.
While his brain was on overload, Jing Luan, wearing only swim trunks, walked past him from the right rear. "What's wrong, Old Lu?"
Lu Gaozhuo turned his head and saw his appearance, his mouth opening even wider. He wanted to say something but suddenly felt like he had lost the ability to speak, and in his anxiety, he could only use gestures.
Jing Luan frowned at his gesticulating. He didn't understand Lu Gaozhuo's signal. "Are you dancing a shamanic ritual?" Su Dan Novel Network
Seeing that Jing Luan hadn't grasped his meaning and was getting closer, he finally became anxious and blurted out, "Don't co—"
However, he spoke a moment too late.
Not only did Jing Luan not hear the end of it, but the director's team sensed something was amiss from his reaction. The cameraman directly carried his camera inside.
The moment they faced the cameras:
Lu Gaozhuo: ...
Jing Luan: ...
Staff members: ...
They looked at each other in silence, with only tears to share.
The bullet comments suddenly paused for three seconds, then rapidly scrolled:
"Is this something I can watch without paying???"
"The cub's body is so good!"
"Slurp slurp."
"We dated, but he didn't let me touch his abs, so we broke up."
"Don't dream, guys in front."
"Exposed well, continue next time."
"......"
Lu Gaozhuo's footsteps gradually retreated.
Even Jing Luan, who was usually good at managing his expressions in front of the camera, had a slightly dark look on his face now.
He quickly turned around. By this time, the cameramen had also reacted and quickly turned their cameras to other corners of the villa.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jing Luan and Lu Gaozhuo hurried back to their rooms.
"Ah!! No!! I want to see the brothers!"
"In life, I have no other hobbies, only lust, and I'm not even allowed to satisfy it?"
"Is it just me who noticed how luxurious the dormitory the brothers live in is?"
"You're not alone. Since the program team said we were going to Manting Villa District, I knew something was up. ilc Company is really good to the brothers!!!"
"Are you still looking for a housekeeper? Nothing else, I just like tidying villas."
"......"
While the bullet comments were fiercely discussing, He Yi came out of his room.
Before coming out, he had received a message from Lu Gaozhuo in their group chat, so he was already dressed.
Seeing the people outside, he greeted them warmly, "Good morning, everyone."
Then, facing the camera, his expression softened further. "Good morning, everyone."
"Brother Yi Yi, good morning."
"Brother is so gentle."
"My He He, the white moonlight!!!"
"He He is like a noble son from ancient times, his every move exudes elegance."
"......"
While the bullet comments were engaging in heated conversation, a white shadow flashed past He Yi and entered the kitchen. It was so fast that one could have mistaken it for an illusion.
"Am I hallucinating? Did something just pass by?"
"You're not alone, person in front."
"+1008611."
"Is it a ghost in broad daylight?"
This sentence was precisely caught by He Yi. Recalling his and Lu Gaozhuo's speculation, his smile froze for a moment. "Everyone, we are firm materialists. We grew up under the red flag and must be firm atheists."
It was unclear whether he was speaking to his fans or himself.
To find out, He Yi took everyone to the kitchen and was stunned on the spot.
He abruptly closed the kitchen door and leaned against it, forcing a stiff smile. "Let's, uh, let's go take a look outside."
He Yi's reaction made everyone even more curious.
"I want to see."
"Me too..."
"Agreed."
"Brother's reaction clearly indicates something is up!"
"One person's blood-written plea to open the kitchen door."
"I second that!"
