Jian Dan had intended to have breakfast with Qin Rou, but someone interrupted halfway!
Zhong Tianhaoâs call came at an incredibly inopportune moment.
âJian, why donât you go ahead and eat?â Qin Rou suggested somewhat shyly.
âGot it!â Jian Dan left Qin Rouâs room with much tact.
On his way to grab some breakfast, Jian Dan overheard two staff members discussing something in a mocking tone.
Initially, Jian Dan wasnât going to pay it any mind, but his steps involuntarily slowed down when he heard Mu Yiâs nameâ¦
âDo you think itâll be a problem locking him up in the prop room?â
âWhat could possibly go wrong? Besides, if we get found out, weâll just say we had no idea anyone was in there!â
âThatâs true!â
âI have no clue how the HR department hires people. How could someone who looks like that get a job here!â
âRight? I find it weird too. Do you think this Mu Yi has some powerful connections or something?â
âConnections? Absolutely not! Havenât you noticed? No one in the entire training camp gives him the time of day! Anyone can boss him around, and he wouldnât dare to even fart! Does he look like someone with connections to you?â
Jian Danâs brows furrowed deeply, and he didnât hesitate to head straight for the prop roomâ¦
Although the door to the prop room was locked, it was no match for Jian Dan. He took a hairpin from his head and fiddled with the lock until it opened.
Since there were no windows in the prop room, it was still very dark despite being daytime.
Jian Dan stepped inside. âMu Yi~ are you there? Mu Yi~â He tried the light switch on the wall and found it didnât work, probably broken.
It was so dark inside that the light from the phoneâs flashlight was insufficient to fully illuminate the space.
âIâm over here,â came a somewhat raspy voice.
Following the light from his phone, Jian Dan saw Mu Yi slowly standing up from a corner.
âAre you okay?â Jian Dan asked with concern.
âHow did you know I was here?â
âWe can talk about that later, letâs get out of here first!â The prop room was cold and dark, hardly a good place for a chat.
Mu Yi nodded and followed Jian Dan out of the prop roomâ¦
âThank you, youâve helped me out yet again!â
âYouâ¦â Jian Dan was about to say something when Mu Yiâs stomach growled.
Looking at Mu Yi, who was holding his belly and looking somewhat embarrassed, Jian Dan said, âHungry, huh? Letâs go have breakfast first!â They both headed to the dining hall.
âWait here, Iâll go get you something to eat. Do you fancy anything specific?â
Mu Yi didnât speak, just shook his head.
Jian Dan left to get something for Mu Yi to eatâ¦
Mu Yi watched Jian Danâs retreating figure with a complex look in his eyes!
Soon~
âI didnât know what you liked, so I just grabbed a bit of everything!â Jian Dan said as he placed the food in front of Mu Yi, âAnd this! Youâve been in that prop room for so long, having some hot water will warm you up a bit!â Even though it was summer, the prop room was indeed very chilly.
Mu Yi gazed at the steaming water in front of him, and something in his eyes became even more enigmatic.
As he took the cup of water, a peculiar feeling surfaced in the depths of his heart, so subtle that even Mu Yi himself didnât notice.
