Chapter 453: I Want to Cuddle

At this moment, in the backstage lounge of the Octopus TV New Year's Eve Gala.

Xu Chujing's performance ended earlier than Luo Mo's, so she had already been waiting backstage.

On his way to the lounge, Luo Mo happened to run into the station head, Xu Guan, who was waiting halfway.

Li You, the General Director, had to monitor the gala from the backstage for the entire duration, so he did not come.

"Station Head Xu." Luo Mo greeted Xu Guan.

Xu Guan nodded and got straight to the point: "I won't say any extra, unnecessary words."

"Thanks to you and Xu Chujing, our station's ratings this year have been able to stand firm."

"If nothing goes wrong, we can even fight for the number one spot in Peak Value ratings."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo said: "Is that so?"

But there was not much of a look of surprise or joy on his face.

——"Used to it."

Xu Guan knew that today was New Year's Eve, and for a young person like Luo Mo, time on such a special day was very precious; he surely had other activities planned.

Therefore, he didn't say much more, just chatted for a few sentences, then patted Luo Mo on the shoulder and left first.

Luo Mo's "Wukong" had already finished, so there was no need for him, the station head, to personally keep an eye on the remaining work.

Otherwise, watching the ratings curve start to slide continuously, slide continuously, he felt his Dao heart would become unstable and he would feel incomparably miserable.

"Out of sight, out of mind," Xu Guan thought.

After parting ways with Xu Guan, Luo Mo quickened his pace, humming a little tune as he walked toward the lounge where Xu Chujing was.

Luo Mo was still quite confident about their bet regarding the new songs.

It wasn't that "Legend" wasn't good; this song was definitely a classic love song.

It was just that the song "Wukong" had a stage advantage, so he had taken advantage of that.

Therefore, by promoting it at the same gala, he felt his chances of winning were greater.

"I feel like I really lost out," Luo Mo thought to himself while walking.

"She was supposed to pay the 【final payment】 for the new album anyway; I should have brought up some extra conditions," Luo Mo muttered in his heart.

For instance, weren't there still props from when he filmed "Cat Demon" left at home, including a pair of incredibly realistic cat ears?

………

………

Inside the lounge, Xu Chujing had already been chatting on WeChat for over ten minutes with a female Psychologist from Beijing.

This damn woman, as a writer of fan-fiction, had come looking for material again.

Everyone was an adult; adult women would also chat about "that sort of thing" in private.

The Psychologist had expressed her Anger at Xu Chujing's lack of resolve many times, feeling that Xu Chujing didn't have the demeanor a big sister should have at all.

"You are really a disgrace to us big-sister-type women," she couldn't help but say.

"Men, you know, if you take the initiative, they are very easy to handle!"

"With your conditions, just pull a couple of moves, and how could he not be head over heels?" she said.

She even shouted: "As women of the new era, we must keep the initiative in our own hands!"

"Shut your mouth," Xu Chujing couldn't take it anymore.

Just at this moment, Luo Mo knocked on the door and then entered.

"Jing, what's wrong?" He glanced at Xu Chujing's expression, looking puzzled.

How did it seem like she had been angered?

"Nothing," Xu Chujing said. "Leaving now? Or waiting a while?"

"Let's leave now; I just ran into Station Head Xu and greeted him," Luo Mo said.

"Alright then." Xu Chujing stood up and put on her thick black down jacket, covering up her beautiful figure.

The two started walking outside, preparing to take the van back to the hotel.

Xu Chujing walked in front, and Luo Mo followed behind.

The thick, long down jacket covered her just above the ankles, revealing a small section of her lower legs and the black, red-bottomed high heels on her jade-like feet.

"Red bottoms facing the sky, magic power is boundless," Luo Mo couldn't help but think of this phrase.

Truth be told, a woman with a graceful figure wearing a long dress and high heels, wrapped in a down jacket to keep out the cold in winter, was still very capable of making people's imaginations run wild.

After the two got in the car, the vehicle drove toward the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the two went into the suite, and Luo Mo began to look around the room layout.

"Two rooms, two beds, with a small living room in the middle," Luo Mo thought to himself; this was a fairly standard twin-suite layout.

And in his hand, he held a bottle of red wine.

On New Year's Eve, he and Jing had no other activities, just a little drink.

After drinking some wine, Luo Mo sat on the sofa and fixed his gaze on the Heavenly Queen sitting opposite him.

Dressed in a long dress, her two legs were crossed, and the foot that was raised had already slipped out of the black, red-bottomed high heel, which was just hanging from her toes.

Her face was slightly flushed, one hand swirling a wine glass, while the other supported her cheek, looking a bit distracted.

Suddenly, she looked Luo Mo over, from top to bottom.

"W-what is it?" Being looked at by her like this suddenly, Luo Mo was actually a bit flustered.

Seeing him flustered, Xu Chujing couldn't help but feel that taking the initiative was indeed more interesting.

"Looking at your outfit today," Xu Chujing said.

"Is there a problem?" Luo Mo looked down at himself.

"It's quite suitable for Dancing." As she spoke, she stood up, slightly lifted the hem of her long dress, and said, "Let's dance."

Luo Mo turned to the side, looking past Xu Chujing's body toward the television in the living room.

The room was too quiet; turning on the television was just to serve as background noise.

A foreign film was playing on the TV; in it, the male and female leads had just finished a party, returned home, had a few drinks, and then turned on music and embraced to start Dancing.

For some reason, Luo Mo recalled a classic movie line: "In principle, I don't dance, but I find it hard to say no to her."

He smiled and stood up, straightened his clothes, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Two people with dance backgrounds were actually learning the scene from the movie quite clumsily.

Very quickly, Luo Mo grew tired of learning it.

He moved his right hand from Xu Chujing's waist to her back, then pulled her in firmly, making the two of them press tightly together, and said, "Why bother learning from them?"

The sudden force caused Xu Chujing, who was tipsy and wearing high heels, to stumble slightly, and she let out a soft moan.

Hearing this sound, Luo Mo couldn't help but reflect on himself.

"People are always greedy; at first, I only wanted to know your name, but now I also want to know how you call out."

"Sin, what a sin," he said in his heart.

Men, after all, are born liking cars—sports cars, off-road vehicles, vintage cars...

And also sprinkler trucks that spray water while making noise.

Because Xu Chujing was naturally tall and was currently wearing high heels, she was not much shorter than Luo Mo.

The two of them just swayed gently like this to the music.

Luo Mo's gaze looked forward, and he soon discovered a new world.

Hotels, after all, love to install mirrors in all sorts of places.

On the walls in some areas, there were also diamond-shaped or grid-patterned mirror surfaces used as decoration.

At this moment, on the left side of the suite's living room, there was a strip of mirror.

Luo Mo happened to be able to see Xu Chujing's slender Back Shadow in the mirror, her body swaying slightly, and with her movement, her skirt hem swayed along with her.

After enjoying a visual feast, Luo Mo moved his gaze away from the mirror and looked at the television behind him, watching the scene in the movie.

Then, he lowered his head and, half as an Evil prank and half as a provocation, said into Jing's ear, "They're kissing."
