Little Watermelon is held by someone from behind with his feet fluttering in the air, saying something and struggling to delay the time for sleep.

However, he is ruthlessly suppressed.

Dandan runs around Bo Yu, trying to save its friend, but it is kicked in the ass and locked outside the door with unhappy expression.

Bo Yu closes the door of little Watermelon’s room, holds him to the bed, and says, “You have two ways for helping you sleep, that is, listening to the story and spanking.”

Little Watermelon stretches out his hands, pulls the sheet and smiles with ingratiation, “Listen to the story.”

Bo Yu takes out his mobile phone, searches the fairy tale, coughs twice and clears his throat. “Once upon a time, there was a frog. He fell in love with a charming prince, and then he lost sleep, thinking about how to marry the charming prince every day...”

Little Watermelon, “...”

When Bo Yu tells half of the story, little Watermelon falls asleep. Bo Yu, who still wants to read, decides to go out the room on tiptoe with his mobile. However, when he just goes out of the door, the mobile suddenly rings.

Bo Yu answers the video call, Mo Anyu’s handsome face is smiling at Bo Yu, greeting with Bo Yu, “what are you doing recently?”

“You have come back from abroad?” Bo Yu lies on the bed. After the complement of The Young General, Mo Anyu goes abroad to attend the fashion show, so Bo Yu casually asks him now.

Mo Anyu’s smile deepens on his face. “I heard that you have chosen to act in a new TV series, a Xianxia TV series?”

“Yes, fortunately, it’s autumn now. Wearing ancient costume in summer is very painful.” Bo Yu smiles and doesn’t ask Mo Anyu how he knows it”.

Bo Yu receives the notice from the crew named Three Thousand Disasters tonight just now. However, only a few hours later, Mo Anyu knows that.

Bo Yu has no choice but to pretend that he doesn’t realize anything.

It seems that Mo Anyu doesn’t find Bo Yu’s unusual expression, and continues to say, “The Xianxia TV series asks me to shoot on exterior location. And the director is very serious about the exterior location. So how do you arrange little Watermelon after acting the TV series?”

“I have no idea.” Bo Yu is silent for a moment and says softly.

At the moment of smoking in the corridor, he almost wants to ask Song Shilin to take care of little Watermelon. But he doesn’t.

“If you treat me as a friend, just give him to me,” Mo Anyu says.

Bo Yu suddenly looks up at Mo Anyu on the phone with the surprising expression.

Why is Mo Anyu so kind?

“I don’t have a job in the next half a month except for a few interviews. I can rest at home.” Mo Anyu tells Bo Yu the excuse that he has drawn up. “I really like little Watermelon. If you still worry about him, I can give you a video call every other hour,”

Bo Yu takes a deep breath and says, “I don’t understand.”

He knew Mo Anyu only more than a month ago. Although they get along well, they are not so good friends.

Mo Anyu smiles, “I want to direct a TV series by myself. I hope to invite you to join us.”

“Besides, little Watermelon goes to school during the day. I’m only responsible for taking him to bed at night. It is not a big deal.” Mo Anyu says gently, “how about working with me?”

It is hard for Bo Yu to break his guard by saying any good words, so Mo Anyu chooses to adopt that way――to retreat for progress, and directly put his “target” on the table.

Sure enough, Bo Yu’s expression loosens, and he hesitates and thinks about that.

“I hope you can believe me. I’m not the kind of person who likes to betray friends.” Mo Anyu laughs and dispels Bo Yu’s last precaution. “I have something else to deal with here. Remember to call me if you have the decision.” And he hangs up.

Bo Yu hangs up the video call in silence.

After hanging up, Mo Anyu watches the video recording of the conversation with Bo Yu. He rubs the screen with the admiring expression, as if his hands can touch Bo Yu through the screen.

“How can I let you be in bewilderment?”
