Quite awkward

Chapter 160 Big Brother Visits the Set

"Ayu, you just woke up and are still a little confused, right?" Mu Yanqing's voice was gentle and calm.

While listening to their phone call, Mu Chenan lowered his head and deliberately rubbed Qi Yu's neck with his chin. One hand moved down and touched her through her pajamas...

Qi Yu was in a state of extreme physical and mental tension. She bit her lip and pinched the flesh on Mu Chenan's leg hard as a warning.

He gasped softly in pain, but didn't dare make a sound.

Then, she said to the person on the phone, "Brother, I'm staying at the guesthouse at the entrance to the ancient town. Please wait for me on the first floor while I pack up."

"Well, okay, the driver said there is still some distance to go, so you can pack up slowly, there is no rush." Mu Yanqing replied patiently.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yu threw the phone away, lowered the corner of his mouth, and hit Mu Chenan's chest hard with his elbow.

The main purpose was to deal with him, because he had just caused trouble on purpose.

Early in the morning, the woman next to him pinched and beat him for another man, but Mu Chenan felt relieved. He let her go, lay back on the bed, and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

"You take care of your business, and I'll sleep on mine. I won't disturb you from meeting Big Brother."

He liked the feeling of doing whatever he wanted with Qi Yu behind his brother's back.

Qi Yu was speechless. She sat cross-legged on the bed, unable to think of a good way to get rid of him.

Isn't it too inhumane to just dump someone after taking advantage of them?

Putting all that aside for now, she got out of bed, picked up the clothes she was going to wear that day from the hanger, took them into the bathroom to change, then quickly washed up and returned to the bed to get her phone and script.

When Qi Yu saw Mu Chenan lying comfortably on her bed, she suddenly felt like there was cotton stuck in her throat and she didn't know what to say.

"you……"

Mu Chenan slowly opened his eyes, just looked at her, and waited patiently for her next words.

"Don't let anyone see you when you leave."

"No, go find your big brother. I won't get up until eight o'clock."

It was only twenty minutes until eight o'clock. In fact, he couldn't sleep for long and didn't want to sleep at all.

The two of them slept in the same bed for two consecutive nights, kissed and touched each other, so this time he was jealous for no reason and made himself unhappy.

Qi Yu lowered his head and repeatedly touched his neck with his hands, feeling extremely complicated.

It brought back memories of that morning long ago, and it felt so similar.

At that time, she was lying on the bed on the second floor of Muchenan's villa. He was the only one in her sight, while her eldest brother was standing downstairs talking to him on the phone.

It's ridiculous that the story repeats itself.

Seeing her actions, Mu Chenan kindly comforted her, "Why are you so nervous? I won't be discovered by my brother. You must not expose yourself."

Qi Yu said nothing. Thinking that her elder brother would be here soon, she left Mu Chenan and turned to leave the room.

After she left, Mu Chenan also got up. He was wearing pajamas and walked leisurely to the window. He pulled aside a corner of the dark gray curtains and looked downstairs.

About two minutes later, a black business car stopped in front of the blue-tiled house. Mu Yanqing got out of the car with two bags full of snacks in his hands.

He stood there and looked around.

At this moment, Qi Yu walked quickly out from the first floor of the B&B to greet him.

When Mu Chenan saw this scene, he curled his lips slightly with a hint of sarcasm.

Although he didn't get Qi Yu's heart, he could at least hug her body all night, so he didn't lose today.

The eldest brother probably could never have imagined that at this moment his younger brother was standing upstairs with a victorious attitude, watching them talking and laughing and interacting.

downstairs.

Mu Yanqing casually opened the bag and showed Qi Yu the snacks he bought.

"Do you like it? These are your favorites. If there are not enough, I will buy some more."

Qi Yu smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, big brother. I just needed some snacks."

As usual, she would give her eldest brother the most enthusiastic response.

"Then I'll help you carry it to the room?" Mu Yanqing weighed the weight and estimated that with her strength she could only lift one bag at most.

Qi Yu's scalp tensed up and he quickly said no.

"Let's put it at the front desk. I'll take it back when I get back from work this afternoon."

Mu Yanqing had no doubts and followed her into the B&B and left his things at the front desk.

There is a noodle shop next to the B&B. Qi Yu asked the owner for two bowls of mixed noodles and a basket of steamed dumplings. She drank pure milk and Mu Yanqing drank original soy milk.

The mixed noodles were served. Mu Yanqing added a spoonful of chili powder, then stirred the noodles and ate them slowly.

Although he had already had breakfast in the hotel, he had a poor appetite at that time and only ate half a sandwich and a latte. Now, with Qi Yu sitting opposite him, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

The two of them chatted while eating.

"Are you tired from filming recently?" Mu Yanqing's words were full of concern.

"Fortunately, I leave early and come back late every day, and I don't have to shoot night scenes. Everything is normal."

Qi Yu only reported good news and not bad news, and omitted many things in between, such as the ghost story in the blue-tiled house opposite.

If she told her eldest brother that she had not been able to sleep alone for the past two nights because of fear, her eldest brother would definitely help her solve this problem.

It was not easy for him to come here, and she didn't want to cause him any more trouble. She was already satisfied with just a simple meeting.

"Brother, how about you? Are you tired of being a professor? Do you sleep well at night?" Qi Yu was also concerned about him.

When Mu Yanqing heard this, he raised his chin slightly with a happy expression.

"Everything is good. Although I live alone, I am doing what I love and I feel spiritually fulfilled."

Qi Yu curved her lips and smiled, feeling happy for him.

After breakfast, Mu Yanqing sent her to the filming site. The two walked on the stone road of the ancient town. There were not many people around at this time.

The peach blossoms on the roadside are in full bloom, and the air is filled with a faint, elegant and soft floral fragrance.

Qi Yu lowered her head and deliberately avoided the fallen flowers with her feet. Mu Yanqing walked behind her and saw her jumping around, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised.

The two walked forward side by side again.

"Ayu, how long will it take you to shoot this drama?"

"We will need to move to the city after that, and we estimate that filming will be completed by the end of April or early May."

Mu Yanqing understood, thinking that the crew would not take a special holiday to catch up on the schedule.

"This year's Qingming Festival, I will go back to Linjiang to sweep Uncle Qi's grave for you."

Qi Yu thought about it for a while and realized that this was a helpless choice. She could only wait until the filming of this drama was completed before returning to Linjiang.

"Okay, then you can speak to Dad for me."

"Yeah, sure."

A circle of staff members gathered on the filming set. Qi Yu brought Mu Yanqing inside and introduced him as her brother, who came to visit her on set.

She found a folding stool with a backrest and asked him to sit in a quiet place. From this angle, he could just see her filming.

"Brother, I'm going to do my makeup first. If you feel bored, you can leave first, but remember to send me a message."

Mu Yanqing nodded, smiling gently: "You go ahead and do your work. Today is Saturday, I have plenty of time to accompany you."

"OK."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, he ran away.

The entire filming set was filled with a tense and orderly atmosphere. The crew members were constantly shuttling back and forth on the scene. After the huge lights were turned on, they gradually turned into the brightness of natural light.

An hour later, Mu Yanqing saw from afar that Qi Yu had finished putting on her makeup, changed into the clothes for the play, and walked to the center of the scene.

Following the director's command, she quickly entered the role, with emotion and power in her eyes, and her performance was perfect.

After the morning passed, Qi Yu took an extra lunch box and ran to Mu Yanqing and handed it to him.

"This was originally my assistant's lunch box. She's been away lately, so I brought it over to you."

When the staff around were eating, some sat on the floor, while others bent over and squatted to quickly finish their lunch.

Mu Yanqing opened the lunch box and saw the rich variety of dishes. She concluded that the food must be quite good during her time on the crew.

The lunch break was very long, and the two of them ate slowly and chatted slowly.

"Didn't the company provide you with an RV? You should be able to go into the RV to eat and rest at noon."

Qi Yu paused and shook his head.

"I'm not a big star, so I don't need a motorhome. Actually, this is also good. I can go to the dressing room to rest for a while at noon."

Mu Yanqing originally wanted to propose that he pay for an RV for her, but he suddenly stopped thinking about it because he knew that she would definitely politely reject his kindness.

After dinner, Qi Yu went into the dressing room for a nap. Mu Yanqing still didn't plan to leave. He got up and walked out of the set and strolled around Yuening Ancient Town alone. While walking, he called Shen Shuang.

In addition to greeting his parents, he unexpectedly learned that Mu Chenan was also in this city.

After ending the call, he turned around and walked back, intending to find Qi Yu in person to confirm whether she had met Mu Chenan in the past few days.

But then he felt that this approach was not appropriate. Although it was not a forced question, it might make her suspicious and interfere with her emotional state for filming in the afternoon.

So he stopped, picked up his phone and called Mu Chenan.

"Hey, big brother."

“Are you in Qingcheng?”

Qingcheng is the city they are standing on now.

"Yes, I came here on a business trip to discuss cooperation with Qiao Yijing. I have been here for two or three days." Mu Chenan did not deliberately conceal the details and directly explained the details.

"Have you ever been to Yuening Ancient Town?" This is the question that Mu Yanqing cares about most.

The next question is whether he has met Qi Yu.

Mu Chenan said half-truthfully, "Yes, Zhang Pei went to visit Qi Yu. We had dinner together in the evening. After that, I sent her to her place and then left."

"that's all?"

"That's all, brother, what do you think I can do?"

Mu Yanqing's silence was a kind of answer.

Ever since he knew that Mu Chenan and Qi Yu had been in a relationship, he often felt a little worried, but he could not use any destructive means to prevent them from getting back together.

Only by confirming that the two of them have not reached the stage of reconciliation can he feel a little comfort in his heart.

"Chen An, you are so mean to A Yu..."

Mu Chenan interrupted: "I still like her, I always have. Don't worry, she is working, I didn't disturb her."

She has been pestering me these days.

Although it was not entirely true, he was secretly happy when he received the call.

"Brother, since you only treat Qi Yu as your sister, then I am willing to share you as her brother."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Yanqing frowned, his thoughts blocked by complex emotions.

Mu Chenan was too lazy to say anything more: "Then I'm hanging up."

"Let's meet in the evening. I'm in Yuening Ancient Town in Qingcheng now." Mu Yanqing took the initiative to reveal his whereabouts to him.

He proposed a meeting not only for Qi Yu, but also to understand the operating conditions of the Mu Group in the first quarter.

"Can I come over?" Mu Chenan asked casually.

“No, let’s meet in the main city.”

Mu Chenan guessed that his elder brother might not want him to meet Qi Yu, but he didn't care.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Yu finished her scenes for the day and went home.

Mu Yanqing stayed with her for the whole day, and then the two of them walked back to the B&B.

On the way back, Qi Yu took the initiative to talk about her schedule for the next day.

"Brother, tomorrow morning, I'm going to a designated styling studio in the main city to get my hair permed and dyed. Since you're going back to the main city, I'll go with you now. I'll also stay at the hotel tonight."

Tonight she no longer needed Muchenan's company, but could leave the ancient town and stay in a hotel outside.

When Xiao He comes back tomorrow, maybe she won't be afraid of that blue-tiled house anymore.

It was just a matter of convenience, so Mu Yanqing immediately nodded and agreed.

He took two bags of snacks from the front desk and carried them into her room without stopping.

"Ayu, I'll wait for you on the first floor."

"it is good."

Qi Yu was packing clothes to take to the hotel, then folded them neatly and put them into a shopping bag. She picked up some necessary items and went downstairs carrying a bag.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the black business car reappeared at the door of the B&B. Qi Yu glanced at the blue-tiled house opposite, then quickly looked away in fear and ran into the car.

Mu Yanqing didn't notice her abnormality. He got into the car from the other side and casually mentioned that Mu Chenan would have dinner with them later.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then heard his explanation again.

"I want to talk to Chen An about some company matters. You can eat your meal. After you're full, the driver will take you back to the hotel to rest." Mu Yanqing had already made arrangements.

It took nearly an hour to get from Yuening Ancient Town to the main urban area. Qi Yu was sleepy and hungry, so he leaned his head against the car window and fell asleep unknowingly.

After arriving at the destination, Mu Yanqing patted her shoulder to wake her up.

"Ayu, we're here."

Qi Yu quickly regained consciousness, touched the handle, opened the door and got out of the car by himself.

……

The waiter pushed open the door of the box and guided the two guests in.

Mu Chenan looked up and his gaze naturally focused on Qi Yu who was standing behind his eldest brother.

She wore a beige hooded sweatshirt and light blue jeans. This simple outfit made her look very youthful and lively.

He lowered his head and chuckled, then casually invited the two of them to sit down.

Qi Yu didn't dare to look at Mu Chenan. She just called him "Second Brother" when she entered the door, and then she found a seat as far away from him as possible and sat down.

Seeing this, Mu Yanqing shook his head and felt relieved.

He casually pulled out a chair and sat down, leaving an empty seat between him and Mu Chenan, which made it convenient for the two of them to talk while eating.
