The three of them were about to enter the gate when they heard a heavy motorcycle rolling in from a distance .
Startled, Yun Shishi turned around and saw a smart-looking motorcycle parking in front of a house's garage door . A slender figure greeted their eyes .
A tall and lean youth was seen wearing a trench coat with biker pants wrapped around a pair of long, slender legs .
The youth took off the helmet and revealed a head of spiky short hair dyed silvery grey . They could see pretty eyes when the shades were removed on the face .
“Neighbor?”
“So tall…”
She finally responded once the youth walked toward another house not far from theirs .
It turned out that they were neighbors!
“That person looks familiar . Have I met that man before?”
“Stupid mommy, that's not a man…” Youyou resignedly replied . “She's a singer known by her stage name Jun Mo . She has just released her latest album . Her singing, coupled with that androgynous looks, gains her quite a following . ”
“How did you know all that?” She looked at her son in surprise .
From what she remembered, Youyou was uninterested in music . In fact, he was a complete music idiot .
“Because… I've seen her on TV,” he replied .
What she did not know was that Youyou had already gone through the list of artistes under Huanyu Entertainment in preparation for her contract signing to the company .
Therefore, he had some impression of the female singer .
“Dad, don't just stand there; the room is ready for you . Let's go!” she said this to her father .
“I'm…” Yun Yecheng was still somewhat hesitant .
He was planning to return to his previous residence once Youyou got discharged from hospital .
He looked down to peer at Youyou and saw the latter looking at him as well . That made him even guiltier, and he let out a sigh .
Youyou turned to look at his mother first before he turned his head to address his grandpa smilingly, “Grandpa, come and stay with us, alright?”
“?” He was a little surprised to hear this invitation from his grandson .
He reckoned that the little boy had not forgiven him yet! In fact, he thought that the barrier between them could never be eradicated .
The boy brightened up . “Grandpa, don't worry . Mommy's wish is to be a filial daughter and to look after you for the rest of your life . You are getting on in years; we should look after you!”
“Youyou is such a good boy!” She joyfully gave a kiss on her son's cheek, looked up, and said, “Dad, you see? Even Youyou said so . The child is so filial; do you really bear to reject his request?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” He kept nodding and acquiescing with tears rimming his lower eyelids .
The three of them happily chatted all the way into the garden house .
Monday .
Yun Shishi got up early, tidied herself up, and wore the appropriate attire before rushing to Huanyu's headquarters .
The night before, Qin Zhou specially sent out a message reminding her not to be late .
Tradition dictated that a personal interview would be conducted by Huanyu's head producer prior to the contract signing ceremony .
The head producer, Ji Lin, also nicknamed Ji Yanluo1, was famed for being very strict and very particular at the time of appointments . He was merciless to anyone who would not be punctual .
There was once a promising newcomer who was late for the appointment and got the contract canceled as a corollary . There was no second chance .
There was still an hour left before her interview, and she was already at the door, ready to leave her place, but for some reason, she could not hail a taxi . As she watched the time tick past, she became agitated .
1 . In Chinese mythology, King Yanluo is the King of Hades .
