The elevator door was heavy, and was finally activated by the hand that blocked it, slowly opening on both sides.
Doctor's figure stiffened slightly: "Silence?"
He vaguely felt something was off, because Yumo raised his jaw slightly, and the light that swept over emanated a coldness.
Yumo, on the surface, looked gentle and amiable, without much temper. In reality, he had a cunning and dark-hearted nature. Those who had deep interactions with him mostly understood this. Doctor's survival instinct kicked in, and he quickly let go of the hand that was holding Lin Meng, then turned around.
Sure enough, Yumo was holding the elevator door, and was greeted by a group of noisy fans.
"Brother Yumo is so gentlemanly! He even helped us hold the elevator!"
"Thank you, God Yumo!"
"Ah! It's Doctor!"
"Ahahaha, it's really Doctor in person!"
"I'm so lucky!"
"Why would Doctor be here, is he here to compete? Please take a photo with us!"
"Doctor, you are even more handsome in person than in pictures, I love you so much!"
In an instant, Doctor was surrounded by fans. Although he felt very frustrated, he couldn't shake off his idol burden and could only maintain a smile while gritting his teeth and glaring at Yumo.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Yumo had already positioned himself on the opposite side, casually putting his hands in his pockets, discreetly blocking Lin Meng between his body and the elevator wall. His tall stature effectively concealed Lin Meng, and the enthusiastic fans did not take notice of her presence.
"God Yumo, Doctor, which floor are you going to? I can press it for you," a girl standing by the door said. "I'll help you."
"Huh?" Doctor hesitated, before he could respond, Yumo said, "The eleventh floor."
"We can't go to the eleventh floor!"
Doctor almost shouted, startling everyone in the elevator. The girl who was about to press the button went pale and stuttered, "Wh- why not...?"
"Because—" Doctor was at a loss for words.
He didn't need to say it. If those people upstairs threw a party, he had practically thrown himself into troubled waters by making that phone call. If the elevator door opened and Dai Cong, that fool, came up to him asking for a girl, and the fans saw that his idol image was tarnished - what a disaster!
Yumo did it on purpose!
Doctor looked at Yumo, who appeared indifferent, but to Doctor, his face clearly said "serves you right".
Doctor felt like he wanted to die.
At that moment, Lin Meng gently poked Yumo's waist.
It felt like a feather fluttering against clothes, and it made Yumo slightly startled. He heard the soft voice of the young girl with a warning, "Isn't Wild Wind here too?"
The cold and sharp-tongued Lin Meng was unexpectedly worried about the young Wild Wind. Yumo frowned slightly, looking a bit displeased.
Thinking that he might not have heard or just ignored her, Lin Meng poked him several times with a stronger force. Yumo quickly reached out and grabbed her restless fingers.
In the crowded elevator, the sudden physical contact caused Lin Meng's heart to almost stop.
The man's palm was warm and dry, completely enveloping her fingers, holding them tightly. The man leaned slightly in her direction and whispered, "I know what you mean."
Doctor still couldn't think of a good excuse, possibly because of Yumo's pressure. He felt uneasy and didn't understand why Yumo was causing trouble for no apparent reason.
Reluctantly, he extended an olive branch to Yumo. "I think we might have remembered the wrong floor," he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Sorry, Silence."
Yumo, expressionless, responded with a "Hmm?"
What do you mean by "hmm"? Are you deaf?
Doctor was furious, cursing the future team leader internally, and forced a distorted smile on his face, "I'm right, I mean, sorry."
Yumo replied, "Oh, it seems like we remembered the wrong floor." He smiled and said, "Let's go to the tenth floor, thank you."
Doctor breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the cold elevator wall, feeling drenched in sweat.
The tenth floor was a billiard club, with few people around. The three of them stepped out of the elevator, and as the door closed, Doctor immediately changed his expression. He grabbed Yumo's collar in frustration, but Yumo pointed a finger towards the camera behind them and smiled kindly.
"You," Doctor struggled to change his words, "dressing in such a deep V-neck in the middle of the night... be careful about your safety."
"Thank you for your concern," Yumo smiled.
Doctor brushed off Yumo's clothing with disdain, gritted his teeth and stepped back, speaking with hostility, "I raised my price, what's the big deal? When Xiao Xingheng signed the contract, it was for a million. I want three million, so what? Inflation is causing the price of pork to rise! Does your team lack money?"
Yumo regarded him affectionately, "Why are you scolding yourself like a child?"
Lin Meng said, "He doesn't seem very bright."
Doctor: "..."
Why are they singing in harmony?
Only then did he realize that the situation had changed. He looked puzzled at the young girl, who had been cowering behind Yumo the whole time.
"Hey!" he reached out, "We only met a few seconds ago, what are you doing behind him?"
Yumo raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Lin Meng behind him.
Lin Meng stood with her hands behind her back, expressionless, and moved closer to Yumo, "He looks kinder than you."
Doctor: "..."
Why were they singing in harmony?
He finally realized that the situation had changed, and looked at the small girl who had been hiding behind Yumo for I don't know how long.
"Hey!" he reached out, "We just met a few seconds ago, why are you following him?"
Yumo raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Lin Meng behind him.
Lin Meng stood with her hands behind her back, expressionless, and moved closer to Yumo, "He looks kinder than you."
Doctor: "??"
He gasped, "I -"
Lin Meng: "He wouldn't say 'I'."
Doctor: "......"
Yu Mo shrugged, "It seems you still don't know where you went wrong, Jin Yunhui."
Having Silence backing up this girl made her speech even more infuriating, but Silence looked quite pleased. The Doctor, feeling unsettled and even a little aggrieved, licked his lips, irritated by the mixed male and female team's shouting match.
"I was just scaring you earlier," he showed his anger with two canine teeth, "I wouldn't really send you."
"Then why scare me?" Lin Meng had a stern look on her face.
"Who asked you to ridicule me."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Your grandpa's truth!" The Doctor was angry again.
Yu Mo had long seen through the mind of this stubborn young Doctor, he reached out and pushed Lin Meng behind him, completely blocking her, and ended the quarrel, "Did you inform Dai Cong?"
"Of course I did." The Doctor gasped, "But no reply." He paused, puzzled, "Did you go too?"
"I'm going to find someone," Yu Mo said.
"Find someone? Who? Ye Feng?" The Doctor sneered, "They're not going to eat Ye Feng, it's making a fuss over nothing."
"Find my cousin," Lin Meng poked her head out from behind Yu Mo, frowning, "the only girl in your mouth who's not enough."
The Doctor made a soft "tsk" sound and smiled, "Then you're going to have a lot on your hands." He waved his hand, "I advise the two of you not to go, easy come easy go."
"I see you can't keep a civil tongue in your head!" Lin Meng, getting angry, at this time her phone rang.
Lin Sitan sent a voice message, saying weakly, "Lin Meng, bring me a bottle of water... my throat is dry."
She was a princess and a pain, but Lin Meng couldn't let her get into trouble. She suppressed her anger and turned to ask, "Is there a supermarket downstairs?"
"Supermarket?" the Doctor said, "What do you need it for?"
"My cousin asked me to bring her some water."
The Doctor, wanting to salvage his image in Lin Meng's eyes, ran to the service counter and bought a bottle of mineral water worth two digits and handed it to Lin Meng arrogantly, "No need to thank me."
Lin Meng was too preoccupied to argue with him, she took the water and was about to leave, but Yu Mo reached out and stopped her.
"Let me listen to the voice message," he said in a flat voice.
Lin Meng didn't understand his intention, but out of trust in Yu Mo, she played the voice message out loud.
The Doctor listened on the side, shrugging his neck, "Your cousin has a sweet voice, it's making my legs weak, are you really sisters? The difference is too big."
Lin Meng rolled her eyes, too lazy to respond to him, but Yu Mo asked, "The deluxe suite on the 11th floor has everything, why do you need to buy water?"
The Doctor suffered a mixed-gender attack.
Yu Mo: Call me daddy.
Lin Meng: Call me little daddy.
Jin Yunhui: ???? Didn't you know that Jin Yunhui is actually a naive and sweet person? [Not!]
