BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77
Sigh. I asked Zhu Hanyu today after I have mailed out the health tea. Precious son did not get any work again this month.
I had, after all, overestimated Dingke Media. All their management ever think about is the unspoken rule.* How can they ever make any sound decisions? They don\'t even have a good plan for an amazing actor such as my precious son. They are just wasting away his time and his youth!
Go bankrupt, Dingke Media!!
… No, wait. They should go bankrupt only after my precious son was famed!
I have been so busy this month that I had almost forgotten to go to Daoci temple to place my incense. And I didn\'t have time to go do my volunteer work this week at the orphanage. But I did donate money to a charity in the name of my precious son…
If I only accumulate a little bit of positive karma every week, my precious son will for sure become a big star over time.
Oh yeah, there was a little bit of snow today.
I must remember to remind Zhu Hanyu to make sure precious son will start wearing thermal long johns! The weather is going to get colder and colder and precious son will for sure get arthritis when he gets old if he doesn\'t dress warm enough.
Speaking of, should I knit a scarf for precious son? As the old poem goes, threads in the hands of an old mother will turn into clothes for her child…
Mmhmm!
It\'s been decided!
I am sure my precious son could feel my heavy motherly love for him through the scarf from me!
That being said, it still hasn\'t snowed in City K this year yet.
It is always cold when it snows and it is lonely to walk by oneself on the street. I hope you have someone there to keep you company.
Don\'t get sick. Don\'t be lonesome. And don\'t be sad.
I wish for my most tender baby to be healthy and happy forever and ever.

Inside the rest area of the filming studio.
The little assistant had already walked back and forth several time to Luo Xiu who was lying down in the lounge chair. His boss had been so focused on reading that brown-covered notebook that he didn\'t even look up once.
Zhu Hanyu finally couldn\'t help but leaned down next to Luo Xiu and asked, "Exactly what kind of stories did your loyal friend write in that notebook of hers? Why do I feel that you have been reading this notebook more and more frequently lately?"
"Nothing."
Luo Xiu closed up the notebook.
The little assistant was only able to catch the glimpse of the "most tender baby" at the beginning of the last sentence. He stood back up regretfully and grumbled. "Is it really that precious?"
Luo Xiu adjusted his spectacles gently and the gold chain rocked slightly back and forth next to his neck. Smiling tenderly, he said, "No."
"Then let me just take a glance at it?"
"No."
The little assistant, "… …"
Tenderness my *beep*. All fake! Fake, I say!
The little assistant turned around disappointedly and was about to walk away when he was stopped by the voice from behind him.
"Wait."
"?"
The little assistant turned around quickly, thinking that perhaps his boss had changed his mind. Instead, he saw Luo Xiu raising the notebook in his hand a little and asked, "Mengzhi is resides in City K?"
The little assistant was taken aback a little. "I guess so? All of the stuff that she had been sending you came from delivery services in the same city."
"She has something to do with our company?"
"Eh? Is that so? She never mentioned that."
"… …"
The little assistant walked back toward him and grinned. "Brother Luo, are you really that interested in Master Mangzhi? If you are curious, why don\'t you just have someone look into her? With your connection…"
"That won\'t be necessary." Luo Xiu cut him off casually. "I am not that interested. It\'s fine if you don\'t know about it."
The little assistant sighed. "Oh, alright. I figured this loyal fan of yours probably won\'t be your fan for much longer anyway."
Luo Xiu didn\'t respond. He truly seemed like he didn\'t care about it at all.
The little assistant carried on on his own. "Ever since she had sent you this notebook, she had almost stopped all contacts with me asking for updates on you. – Do you think she mailed you this notebook as a closure?"
"… …"
Something seemed to have occurred to Luo Xiu but he quickly looked back down as though he had lost interest.
When Gu Nian came over, the Son Raising Diary was still lying there quietly next to Luo Xiu\'s hand.
"Mr. Luo Xiu, let\'s go and get lunch…" Gu Nian\'s voice stopped abruptly the second she laid eyes on the Son Raising Diary.
Luo Xiu had already gotten used to Gu Nian coming to look for him in the last couple of days. He stood up when he heard his voice and, when he looked over at her, noticed what she was looking at.
Luo Xiu looked down and by his feet. "What\'s the matter?"
