After Transmigrated as the Movie Star's Omega - Chapter 13
Shen Baibi turned off the faucet and stepped out of the shower. He grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his lower body, drying his hair as he walked toward the door.
The moment the bathroom door opened, a wave of refreshing coolness hit him, relieving the post-shower heat. Shen Baibi’s throat moved slightly; he was thirsty.
He walked toward the coffee table in the room, but when he lifted the kettle, it was empty, and so was his glass. Out of options, he had to go outside to look for water.
Shen Baibi left the master bedroom and walked down the hallway to the living room. The lights were on, but the house was silent and empty. He glanced at the wall clock; it was already past 11:00 PM, and Xia Ran wasn’t back yet.
Xia Ran had work today and had been picked up by Jiang Shen before noon. Thanks to that, Shen Baibi had enjoyed a peaceful day without having to deal with that noisy brat.
Thinking this, Shen Baibi headed for the kitchen. But after only two steps, he heard the distinct sound of the front door opening, followed by Xia Ran’s voice: “Come on in.”
A question mark popped up in Shen Baibi’s head. Xia Ran brought someone home?
While he was momentarily distracted, Xia Ran had already led the person inside, and both sides collided head-on.
Shen Baibi saw a tall, sturdy young man following Xia Ran. He looked quite honest and simple, and he was holding a large cardboard box in his arms. Shen Baibi froze for a second, remembering that this was Xia Ran’s assistant, whose name was Xiao Xiao.
With that physique paired with that name, it was hard not to remember him.
Similarly, Xia Ran froze when he saw him. Heavens! He never expected to walk through his front door and see Shen Baibi standing in the living room without any clothes on!
It was literally a “strike from the opening act”!
He was just about to mock the man for his lack of public decency when he saw Shen Baibi put on a gentle smile and say in a doting tone: “You’re back. It must have been a long day at work?”
Xia Ran got goosebumps from the disgusting tone, but he had to endure it because Xiao Xiao was still there!
Even though he was his own assistant, Xiao Xiao wasn’t in on the secret. Therefore, in front of Xiao Xiao, he had to cooperate with Shen Baibi’s performance.
What a pain.
Xia Ran felt he had made a serious miscalculation. The box Xiao Xiao was carrying was apparently something he had bought; he had just been lazy and asked the assistant to help carry it up. If he had known he’d face such a shock upon entering, he would never have let Xiao Xiao come back with him.
Actually liking to run around naked… what a pervert!
Despite his internal grumbling, he feigned a complaint: “Yeah, so tired. Preparing a new track involves so many things.”
“Then I’ll give you an oil massage before bed.” Shen Baibi gave him a tender smile, then turned to Xiao Xiao and said with a grin, “Thanks for the hard work, Xiao Xiao.”
Xiao Xiao didn’t sense anything unusual. Hearing his respected senior greet him, he offered a shy smile: “It’s no trouble at all! It’s what I should do! —Uh, Baibi-ge, did you just finish showering?”
“Yes.” Shen Baibi smiled, though he was suffering inwardly. He had no hobby of showing off his body to outsiders, but it was just his luck that Xia Ran brought someone back right as he came out for water. Judging by the look in Xia Ran’s eyes, he definitely wasn’t thinking anything good.
Xia Ran took a deep breath, turned to Xiao Xiao, and smiled: “Xiao Xiao, it’s late. You should head back. Thanks for dropping me off.”
“Oh, okay.” Xiao Xiao nodded obediently.
“I’ll see you out!” Xia Ran said, pushing him toward the door.
“Wait a second!” Xiao Xiao called out, lifting the box. “Ran-ge, your package!”
Xia Ran snatched the box and shoved it into Shen Baibi’s arms in one fluid motion, then continued pushing him: “Got it, thanks—watch your step!”
After seeing his assistant to the door, Xia Ran waved kindly: “Bye-bye, Xiao Xiao!”
He was about to close the door when Xiao Xiao called out: “Ran-ge!”
“What is it?” Xia Ran asked with great patience.
Xiao Xiao scratched his cheek, looking a bit embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke his mind: “Ran-ge, uh, I wish you and Baibi-ge a pleasant evening.”
As he spoke, he flashed a smile that was suggestive to the extreme.
“Huh?” Xia Ran was lost.
Xiao Xiao suddenly lowered his voice, his tone full of encouragement: “Make sure to use those things well!”
Xia Ran felt like he understood less and less the more he heard, but he kept the smile on his face: “Okay, I will. Don’t worry. That’s all then, you should get going. Bye!”
After sending Xiao Xiao off, Xia Ran walked back inside, pondering what the assistant meant. A pleasant evening? Those things?
What the hell?
When he returned to the living room and saw Shen Baibi still holding the box and waiting for him, he suddenly had a jolt. Did Xiao Xiao think… Shen Baibi had showered early just to wait for his return so they could do those kinds of “indescribable” things?!
Coupled with that incredibly suggestive smile and tone, Xia Ran felt this was the most likely possibility.
The thought of being misunderstood like this without being able to explain made Xia Ran’s blood boil. Shen Baibi naturally became the target for his frustration: “Why aren’t you wearing clothes!”
Shen Baibi didn’t understand where the anger was coming from and frowned: “I just finished showering, okay?” After a shower, he was going to bed; he didn’t have the energy to dress up. Besides, it wasn’t like he wasn’t wearing anything; wasn’t the towel wrapped securely around his waist?
“Even after a shower, you can’t just wander around without clothes! You trying to show off your body?” Xia Ran got even angrier. Even if he wanted to show off, no one wanted to see it! So what if he had eight-pack abs? Xia Ran didn’t want to look, and he’d caused them to be misunderstood!
Being accused like this, Shen Baibi felt even more helpless: “Please, where am I ‘wandering around’? Am I not just at home?”
“So what if you’re at home? This is the living room, a common area! Nudity is prohibited!” Xia Ran argued righteously.
“The cohabitation agreement doesn’t have that rule.” Shen Baibi rolled his eyes at him. “And I am not ‘nude’!”
“If it’s not there, add it!” Xia Ran glared back, refusing to back down. “It’s an offense against public decency!”
“Unreasonable.” Shen Baibi shook his head, placed the cardboard box on the coffee table, and ignored him, heading toward the kitchen.
“You’re the one who’s unreasonable!” Xia Ran glared at him until he entered the kitchen, then let out a heavy hmph.
Shen Baibi had no idea that because of his “perverted” behavior, they were being misunderstood by Xiao Xiao. This misunderstanding was too embarrassing to even mention; Shen Baibi was so dense he couldn’t even catch on—he really should be renamed Shen Shabi.
Fuming, Xia Ran sat on the sofa. His gaze naturally fell upon the cardboard box. It’s all the fault of this package!
According to Xiao Xiao, these were things Xia Ran had bought. Since it wasn’t convenient to ship them to this address, Xiao Xiao had received them on his behalf.
After staring at the box for a while, Xia Ran reached out and pulled it toward him. It was a bit heavy, feeling like it contained many items. Could the “those things” Xiao Xiao mentioned be these?
What could be inside?
Driven by intense curiosity, Xia Ran pulled a small knife from the coffee table drawer, sliced through the tape, and opened the box. Then, he pulled an item out and held it up to examine it.
The object was pink, small, and round…
Shen Baibi came out of the kitchen drinking water, just in time to see this scene. When he saw the object in Xia Ran’s hand, he nearly choked on his water.
Xia Ran turned around with a playful smile on his face. He brandished the little gadget in his hand and asked: “Shen Baibi, are you… ‘incapable’?”
