Chapter 90
After Gu The-New-Tony Nian had finished drying Luo Xiu's hair carefully, she volunteered to wait outside of Luo Xiu's hotel room for him to change.
When Zhu Hanyu, the little assistant, arrived at 7 AM to deliver breakfast for Luo Xiu as usual, he saw Gu Nian waiting outside of his room.
Zhu Hanyu stopped and asked in surprise, "Screenwriter Gu? What are you doing here?"
Hearing his voice, Gu Nian turned around and gave Zhu Hanyu a very bright smile. "I am waiting for Mr. Luo Xiu."
"?" Zhu Hanyu was taken aback a little. "Why are you waiting for him?"
"Take him out to his birthday breakfast, of course."
"? ?"
Zhu Hanyu was shocked by the amount of information. His first reaction was to lift up the bag of breakfast in his hand a little. "If you are taking him out to breakfast, then what am I doing here?"
Gu Nian patted him on his shoulder. "You are taking a paid day off. I will be substituting for you. Are you happy?"
Zhu Hanyu, "Of course I am if I don't have to wo…. Wait!!"
Gu Nian, startled by him, drew her hand back in alert. "What's the matter?"
"What breakfast were you talking about?"
"Hmm, his birthday breakfast?"
"You know that today's is Brother Luo's birthday??"
"Yeah."
"And just how do you know that?!"
"… …"
With a guilty conscience, Gu Nian's eyes darted around. She hasn't gotten her Son-Raising Diary back yet so she couldn't possibly say that she learned it from him.
After a storm had lasted a few seconds in Gu Nian's head, she replied casually, "Oh yeah, the production team needed information on the cast. Your company sent the information over."
Zhu Hanyu frowned, obviously bought into her story. "The Human Resource team leaked that kind of information? That seemed somewhat irresponsible on their part…"
After he was done grumbling, the little assistant lifted his chin contemptuously and said to Gu Nian, "It doesn't matter that you have found out about Brother Luo's birthday and came all the way over early in the morning. He is not going to go out with you!"
Gu Nian, "Why not?"
The little assistant responded without missing a beat. "Because Brother Luo never celebrates his birthday, of course…"
Before he could even finish talking, the door that was never closed completely opened up from the inside. The man, who had changed into a white shirt with light strips and casual pants, walked out.
The little assistant turned his head and was stunned speechless.
After staring in silence for a few second, he finally mumbled. "Brot… Brother Luo, are you going somewhere today?"
"Mmhmm.:
"But isn't today… where are you going?"
"… …"
Luo Xiu did not answer his question. He turned to look at the girl next to him. "Where are we going today?"
Gu Nian didn't notice that he did not address her and used a different pronoun. She put up a finger and said, "For starter, I will take you to the very, very, very best breakfast place in town."
Luo Xiu nodded before turning to his little assistant. "To a breakfast shop."
The little assistant, "… … … …"
He heard! He was not deaf!!
The little assistant gritted his teeth and looked very ferocious. He looked at him then he looked at her. He looked at her then he looked at him. Finally, he made up his mind, gathered up his courage, and pulled Luo Xiu over to one side.
Before they even stopped moving, he could already tell Luo Xiu staring at his hand while frowning.
Luo Xiu, "Move your hand."
Luo Xiu, "… but you didn't mind when Gu Nian did that earlier. QWQ!"
"What does one have to do with the other?" asked Luo Xiu with his eyes lowered, looking very distant.
"… Nothing."
The little assistant, who was wounded all over and still wasn't brave enough, finally let go of him reluctantly.
Luo Xiu straightened out his sleeve before he looked up, "What is it that you wanted to tell me?"
The little assistant, "Do you remember what day today is?"
