Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 449 Timely Rain

Outside the window, the setting sun dyed the clouds orange-red, like an overturned palette of paint, intense and dazzling.

A cell phone ringing made Shang Youyou slowly open her eyes, her consciousness surfacing from the sweet dream. Seeing the beautiful scenery outside the window, she couldn't distinguish between dream and reality for a moment.

The room was filled with a faint scent of pine, which now lingered vividly in her nostrils. She gently turned over, the silk quilt making a soft rustling sound with her movement. Gao Dongxu's scent still lingered on the pillow, and she reached out to run her hand over the empty bed beside her, where a slight indentation and warmth remained.

She closed her eyes and could clearly recall how, just hours earlier, Gao Dongxu had slaughtered Cao Cao's army like Zhao Yun at Changban Slope, leaving them crying out for their fathers and utterly routed.

"woke up?"

Gao Dongxu's voice came from the doorway. Shang Youyou smiled sweetly at her lover as he walked in, carrying two steaming mugs. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and beach shorts, and his hair was a little messy, as if he had just washed it.

The setting sun shone from behind him, gilding his entire body and outlining the contours of his broad shoulders.

"Mmm." Shang Youyou's voice was still hoarse from just waking up. She opened her arms and said sweetly, "Hug me."

Completely unconcerned that the blanket had slipped off, she allowed her much-criticized perfect conscience to shed its disguise and be exposed to Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu smiled and walked to the bedside, placed two cups of coffee on the bedside table, then bent down and picked up Shang Youyou, who had long arms, lifting her up high like a child. Amid Shang Youyou's giggles, he put her down, supporting her buttocks with both hands, letting her hang on his body.

"Did you sleep well?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Of course, with you here, my sleep quality is the best." Shang Youyou wrapped her slender, white arms around Gao Dongxu's neck and said sweetly in her childlike voice.

"Whose call was that just now?" Gao Dongxu asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed with Shang Youyou in his arms, gently stroking her fair and delicate breasts.

"Xiaoxiao... hand me your phone so I can call her back," Shang Youyou said, pointing to the phone on the bed.

Gao Dongxu reached out and took the phone, handing it to her. She quickly started calling back, holding the phone to her ear with one hand and wrapping her other arm around Gao Dongxu's neck.

"...Okay, see you on the suspension bridge in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Youyou smiled at Gao Dongxu and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao and Qin Fen are still having a tiff, and they asked us to have dinner together."

"Hehe, those two are quite a pair of bickering lovers," Gao Dongxu teased with a smile.

“I don’t think what they have is love. Sister Xiaoxiao doesn’t love him; she still can’t forget that scumbag,” Shang Youyou said, raising an eyebrow as she pointed out.

"Sigh, Qin Fen is really pitiful. He was used by Liang Xiaoxiao as a tool to get over his heartbreak," Gao Dongxu sighed.

"Alright, forget about them. I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes, and go eat."

Shang Youyou smiled and kissed Gao Dongxu, then stepped barefoot onto the cool floor. The setting sun outside the window had sunk below the city skyline, and the sky was a dreamy blue-purple.

Without a single leaf in sight, Shang Youyou stretched lazily, her sleepiness vanishing and her body brimming with renewed energy. Admiring Gao Dongxu's gaze, she tiptoed into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror—her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were bright and alert because of the ample moisture, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.

She was completely different from before. Having just finished a demanding four-day international flight, the continuous flying and jet lag had left her looking rather pale, with heavy shadows around her eyes. Gao Dongxu was a timely lifesaver.

As the warm water washed over her body, Shang Youyou closed her eyes, enjoying complete relaxation.

After turning off the tap and drying herself, Shang Youyou wrapped a white bath towel around her neck. The mirror was fogged up by the steam, so she wiped it clear with her hand and saw her own face with a healthy blush and her eyes sparkling.

This radiant glow from within is something that no amount of expensive skincare products can provide.

Holding a towel, she dried her wet hair as she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

"Help me get that red sundress and the curling iron from my suitcase," Shang Youyou said to Gao Dongxu as she walked to the dressing table, found the hairdryer, and plugged it in.

"Hmm." Gao Dongxu got up, walked to the suitcase, laid it down, opened it, and took out a bright red sundress and a curling iron.

"Buzz-"

Shang Youyou tilted her head and used a hairdryer to dry her hair. Gao Dongxu threw the sundress onto the bed, put the curling iron on the dressing table, and then reached for the hairdryer to dry her hair.

Shang Youyou smiled sweetly, poured out cosmetics from her makeup bag, and began to apply makeup to her face.

After drying her hair, Gao Dongxu picked up the curling iron and curled her hair.

With a two-pronged approach, Shang Youyou quickly finished her makeup, untied her bath towel, put on her underwear, then slipped into a bright red halter dress, wore the set of jewelry Gao Dongxu had given her, and put on red high heels.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Looking at Shang Youyou, who was striking a seductive S-curve pose, Gao Dongxu exclaimed sincerely, "Her beauty is beyond compare."

The bright red halter-neck maxi dress was tailored to fit perfectly without sacrificing elegance, beautifully outlining her graceful figure. The halter design cleverly showcased her neck and shoulder lines, making her look even more sexy and alluring.

The hem of her long dress swayed gently, rising and falling like ocean waves, giving her a light and graceful appearance. "Hehe, you have the sweetest tongue, let's go—" A woman dresses up for the one she loves, and hearing her man's praise was undoubtedly the happiest thing for Youyou. She took Gao Dongxu's arm and walked towards the door.

When the two arrived at the suspension bridge, they saw Liang Xiaoxiao, wearing a sky-blue halter-neck strapless dress that exuded sex appeal, enjoying the mountain breeze and looking down at the scenery below the bridge.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, is your old man really not going to eat?" Shang Youyou let go of Gao Dongxu's arm, walked quickly to Liang Xiaoxiao's side, and affectionately took her arm, teasing her with a coquettish laugh.

Liang chuckled and said, "Never mind him, let him be a corpse if he wants. Let's go, it's my treat tonight—"

"No, please, let me treat you. I just sold that Qianlong shroud this afternoon, so I'll treat you to a super seafood feast," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Ah—" Shang Youyou exclaimed and screamed, then, with a greedy and joyful expression, she threw Liang Xiaoxiao aside, hugged Gao Dongxu's neck, and showered him with kisses.

"Two hundred million? Did it really sell for two hundred million? It really sold for two hundred million..."

After being pressed by her, Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I don't want my face covered in lipstick marks. That's right, it sold for 200 million."

"Ahhh—I'm going to raid the duty-free shop!" Shang Youyou shouted happily after a burst of cheers.

Liang Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, was also shocked and dumbfounded when she saw Shang Youyou going crazy and heard the conversation between the two. Her big eyes stared at Gao Dongxu, her mind in turmoil.

It wasn't until she saw the table full of fresh seafood that Liang Xiaoxiao gradually calmed down. Looking at Shang Youyou's radiant smile, she felt a mix of emotions of admiration and envy.

"Stop looking and start eating—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile, greeting Liang Xiaoxiao and Qin Fen, whom he had called over the phone. He raised his glass, filled with Feitian wine, and clinked glasses with Qin Fen.

"Then I won't be polite—" Qin Fen took a sip of Feitian liquor, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the extra-large Australian blue lobster that cost 10,000 yuan each.

The four of them enjoyed a sumptuous seafood feast while chatting and laughing. However, after dinner, Liang Xiaoxiao still insisted on going to the beauty pageant finals, which made Qin Fen very upset.

Gao Dongxu and Shang Youyou could only shake their heads and laugh at the two's awkwardness, but of course, it didn't affect their happy time together.

"Wow—"

Gao Dongxu lay completely relaxed on the edge of the pool, admiring the bright lights at the foot of the mountain.

Footsteps sounded behind him. Gao Dongxu turned around and looked at Shang Youyou, who was wearing a black bikini and a bath towel, walking towards him. He couldn't help but sigh.

Shang Youyou in her swimsuit is absolutely mesmerizing!
The temptation is so great that it's enough to make someone's nose bleed!
Slightly tipsy, Shang Youyou's pretty face is mature and charming, with bright eyes, fiery red lips, and flowing black hair. Her exaggeratedly slender waist and peach-shaped buttocks, along with her long, thin legs, showcase her S-curve figure, making her absolutely sexy and hot!

The swimsuit, perfectly tailored, accentuated her graceful figure, and every inch of her skin seemed to shimmer with a captivating glow under the lights. Her skin was as delicate as snow, breathtakingly beautiful!

"Wow—"

With a charming smile, Shang Youyou untied her bath towel, stepped into the pool, and swam to Gao Dongxu's side like a mermaid.

The two embraced and kissed passionately in the water.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Gao Dongxu braced himself against the edge of the pool with both hands, pulled himself out of the water, and sat down on the edge of the pool.

Shang Youyou blinked her watery fox eyes and seductively took off the hair tie from her wrist. She raised her arms and skillfully and charmingly tied her jet-black hair into a ponytail.

With my hair tied up, it's either him or me!

Once your hair is tied up, your life or death is uncertain!

Gao Dongxu looked up at the sky and sighed. A mountain breeze blew by, and the pond water rippled.

The next morning, a rustling sound, like countless tiny fingertips gently tapping on palm leaves, rang out. Gao Dongxu awoke from a light sleep and found that the light outside the cabin had changed color, becoming a hazy grayish-green.

Gao Dongxu hurriedly released Shang Youyou from his embrace, lifted the blanket, and stepped barefoot onto the cool wooden floor. Through the open window, he saw that all the beautiful scenery in the distance had disappeared into the rain, leaving only a blurry gray-blue.

He quickly closed all the open windows, then ran into the living room and closed all the viewing windows.

As soon as all the windows were closed, the entire mountain forest resounded with a symphony of rain. Large raindrops pierced through the layers of tree canopy, breaking apart as they fell, eventually turning into a fine mist that enveloped the whole world.

"Is it raining?" Shang Youyou, who had been startled awake, asked Gao Dongxu, who was holding the air conditioner remote and turning it on, with sleepy eyes.

"Yes, it's raining heavily." After adjusting the temperature, Gao Dongxu got back into bed, hugged Shang Youyou who had snuggled into his arms, and the two embraced tightly.

Before long, cries for father and father mingled with the incessant sound of rain pattering on everything, the echoes lingering in the air.

Rainy days are undoubtedly the perfect time to sleep or discipline the kids; you're just killing time anyway.

It wasn't just Gao Dongxu who thought and acted this way. After a night of drinking, acting crazy, and sitting alone by the sea, Qin Fen and Liang Xiaoxiao, who had finally returned to the Bird's Nest Villa, also faced their own hearts because of the rain and decided to separate temporarily. Before separating, they had an in-depth communication and exchange so that they could remember each other's good qualities.
