Chapter 140 – Sharing a day in bed

Translator: ChuRen/ YuQiChen

Lu Zeyu had finished bathing and changed into casual home pajamas. His originally sharp features softened at this moment.

He glanced at the animated show on TV and chuckled softly.

“So, Honey likes watching this?”

The cat didn’t respond, just watching the screen intently.

As Tom was chased by a group of fierce wild dogs, the cat became tense as well, its fur standing on end, eyes fixed on the blue cat on the TV.

“Quite serious about it.”

Lu Zeyu held a notebook, sat on the nearby sofa, and began to read the script.

[Host!]

Tang Qing was still engrossed in watching TV. It had been a long time since he had watched this animated show since elementary school. He realized that after so many years, this show that had become an emoji on everyone’s phone was truly a classic among classics.

[Host! Stop watching! Have you forgotten why you’re here?] System 99 couldn’t bear it and interrupted.

“Come… come to eat fish?” Tang Qing remembered the fish from earlier and couldn’t help but smack his lips.

It was quite tasty.

[Host, the villain’s assistant will call soon, sending pictures of the female lead, Xu Wan’er, asking if he’s interested in having her on a show. You must firmly stop him.] The system urged.

Tang Qing nodded.

[This will be the villain’s first time seeing the female lead again. You must try to intervene and prevent him from falling in love with her again.] The system advised.

“Falling in love with the female lead again?” Tang Qing was about to ask for more details but was interrupted by the ringing phone.

Lu Zeyu casually picked up the phone. “Hello.”

Assistant Chen Li said, “Lu-ge, there’s a newly debuted female star. The company is suggesting her appearing on a show with you to boost visibility.”

This female star was none other than the female lead, Xu Wan’er, a new artist signed by Chen Li.

Basically, he wanted to leverage Lu Zeyu’s popularity to bring some attention to this freshly debuted female star, riding on his fame and creating buzz.

In other words, riding the wave of his popularity.

Lu Zeyu coldly replied, “Not interested.”

Chen Li earnestly tried to persuade, “Lu-ge, please, help me out. This female star, she’s quite pitiful. She dropped out of high school, working hard to support herself from a young age. She recently participated in a talent show, finally gaining some popularity, but the show’s producers manipulated things and pushed her out.”

Chen Li rambled on about Xu Wan’er’s story.

Lu Zeyu listened expressionlessly.

Finally, Chen Li added, “Let me send you her photo. She’s really obedient, looks like a little white flower, very sweet. Take a look at the picture, then decide if you want to have her on.”

Without another word, Chen Li sent Xu Wan’er’s photo to Lu Zeyu’s computer.

“Meow!”

The cat meowed softly, knocking over a small decoration on the table.

“You little troublemaker.” The man chuckled good-naturedly.

“Are you listening? Lu-ge, do you have someone with you?” Chen Li realized his movie emperor wasn’t even paying attention.

Lu Zeyu ignored the person talking on the phone and bent down to pick up the small decoration.

Tang Qing quickly and deftly moved to the computer.

On the screen was indeed a girl’s photo, as described by Chen Li, beautiful like a little white flower.

It clearly fit the typical female lead in a romantic story.

Tang Qing moved his paw, right-clicked the mouse, adjusted, then clicked the left button.

Just like that, he deleted the photo Chen Li had sent.

Heh heh.

Lu Zeyu straightened up and casually glanced at the computer.

There was no photo as described by Chen Li.

He certainly wouldn’t question Chen Li about it, letting him send the photo quickly.

“How is it, Lu-ge? Can you consider bringing her on board?” Chen Li on the phone anxiously asked.

“Not interested, not considering. I have things to attend to,” Lu Zeyu replied before ending the call.

Lu Zeyu hung up the phone decisively.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Li muttered in confusion, “What could the famous Movie Emperor Lu be busy with so late at night?”

Others might not know, but he was well aware. His movie emperor was very aloof, with a private life so spotless it could only be described as pristine.

Every day, apart from acting and rehearsing scenes, it seemed like he had no connection with anyone.

He even doubted if the movie emperor was capable of love.

When he saw Xu Wan’er this time, for some reason, he couldn’t help but feel that Lu Zeyu might see her in a different light.

It seemed he had indeed overthought things. Lu Zeyu was truly Lu Zeyu, the emotionless acting machine.

However, who was the person next to Lu Zeyu just now?

Someone who could make him speak in such an affectionate tone.

“Honey, being naughty?” Lu Zeyu closed the computer and casually stroked the little cat.

Tang Qing had just finished his task and obediently sat on the sofa, tilting his head shamelessly, acting cute.

“Meow.”

What could a cat possibly be scheming? The cat just wanted to complete the mission.

With its beautiful eyes, the cat blinked and then lay on its side, showing its white fluffy belly.

It looked at the man, trying to please him.

“Meow~”

As if saying:

I know I was wrong, how about I let you pet my soft belly? Is that okay?

The man, no longer cold as he was on the phone with Chen Li, gently began to rub and pet the affectionate cat.

“I can’t resist you.”

The man and the cat played for a while.

Lu Zeyu then lifted the cat onto his shoulder and softly said, “It’s getting late, let me show you my room.”

The cat obediently nestled in the man’s shoulder, its fluffy head rubbing against the man’s neck.

Like a colorful golden scarf, soft to the touch.

The man pushed open the bedroom door.

In the center was a huge luxurious bed.

“Meow~!”

The cat in his arms immediately leaped onto the bed as if it had springs attached.

Wow, the legendary boss’s exclusive bed, so comfortable!

Even though Lu Zeyu was a severe germaphobe, he showed no sign of disgust at this moment.

He didn’t know why he had bought such a large bed.

He just vaguely felt that the person he might like in the future might not sleep well, so he needed such a large bed to accommodate their tossing and turning.

Not knowing what he was thinking, he had never really liked anyone.

Tang Qing bounced on the bed for a while, then hopped onto the bedside table and leaped onto the bookshelf.

On the shelf was a picture frame, wiped clean and obviously looked at regularly.

The photo showed a gentle and smiling couple, along with a cheerful child like a little sun.

Tang Qing carefully examined it for a moment.

This should be Lu Zeyu and his parents, right?

He just wondered why Lu Zeyu lived alone in such a big house.

[Host, be careful not to break it. Those are Lu Zeyu’s parents. They left when he was very young.] System 99 couldn’t help but speak up as a reminder.

“Oh, so he’s been living alone all this time?”

[Yes, he’s been on his own since he started as an extra, working his way up to his current status.]

Tang Qing nodded.

A tragic villain indeed, truly a standard character.

“Honey, be careful, don’t fall,” Lu Zeyu didn’t mind the photo frame, just concerned that the playful cat might hurt itself while running around.

Tsk, this cat is smart and clever, how could it fall?

The cat agilely climbed up the shelves, where some books were stacked, and then climbed to the next level, still filled with books.

It discovered that all the books in this cabinet were related to acting and filming.

Goodness, does this movie emperor have no other hobbies?

This is too much.

Reaching the highest level, there were some certificates and trophies casually placed there.

The cat tentatively extended its mischievous claws, suppressing the urge to push them all to the ground.

Darn it, every time it saw these little things on the top of the cabinet, it felt like there were two voices in its head.

One voice said,

‘Push, quickly, push them all down, make a crashing sound.’

Another voice said,

‘Yes, yes, push them.’

But deep down, the cat was a highly enlightened human.

So, the cat just pushed all the awards and certificates to the edge, then carefully pushed them back into place.

Lu Zeyu watched from below and couldn’t help but laugh, “Honey, be good, or you’ll get a spanking.”

This man, his voice for some reason, deep and hoarse like a subwoofer, soothing and tingling in the ears.

No wonder he had so many female fans, saying that just listening to Movie Emperor Lu’s voice could get them pregnant.

As Tang Qing was lost in thought, he accidentally tripped over a trophy.

Stumbling, he fell down.

The man quickly reached out and securely caught the falling cat.

“Honey, you’re just trying to get me to spank you,” Lu Zeyu scolded the cat playfully, flicking its soft ears as punishment.

“Meow!” The cat turned its head, avoiding the man’s fingers.

The man then carried the cat to the bed, pointing to a spot beside him, softly saying, “Sleep here, be good, don’t fall off.”

Tang Qing impatiently wriggled out of the man’s embrace and settled down in a spot on the bed.

If he hadn’t startled him, how could he have fallen down!

Darn it, he dares to turn the tables.

This cunning human.

“But, Honey, don’t worry, no matter where you fall from, I’ll catch you.”

The man said, then rubbed the cat’s shiny fur.

Tang Qing ignored him and groomed himself.

Lu Zeyu turned off the light and lay down as well.

“Goodnight, silly cat.”

“Meow!”

Who are you talking to? The cat’s paws were tense.

“Goodnight, little Honey.” The man planted a kiss on the cat’s furry head.

“Meow.”

Impatiently, the cat pushed him away.

After a while, it nestled into the man’s chest, found a comfortable spot, kneaded a few times like kneading dough, and lazily settled down.

The sexy chest muscles that many girls drooled over, the Movie Emperor’s, will be mercilessly put to sleep by me, the cat, today.

It was a day of hard work, rewarding myself with sleeping on a Movie Emperor.
