Monster Inn Rectification Report

Not proof- read.

In the afternoon, the weather changed suddenly.

When Xie Fei came out of the shower, he saw dark clouds outside the window, and the wind gusting.

He was shocked, it’s almost November, how come it’s still raining? Not caring to dry his head, he rushed to the courtyard to cover the mud with a tarp.

As soon as the last corner was tucked away, the crackling raindrops fell. Xie Fei ran into the house with his head covered, not noticing that he bumped into a person.

Yu Li held the umbrella with one hand, and held Xie Fei’s shoulder with the other to help him stand firm, with a faint dislike in his eyes: “Don’t you watch where you are walking?”

” Brother Yu, you’re just in time.” Xie Fei immediately smiled, “Quick, accompany me to the kitchen!”

Yu Li scanned Xie Fei’s half-wet hair and frowned, “Why are you going to the kitchen?”

“It’s four o’clock, and I have to make dinner and make a birthday cake by the way.”

“Cake? Whose birthday?”

“It’s Mr. Yan’s birthday after midnight.” Xie Fei smiled and said, “I saw it when he registered from his ID card, and wanted to give him a surprise.”

Yu Li was reluctant and turned around to go back to the house.

Xie Fei quickly hooked his shoulder, and reached across the other hand over the back of his hand holding the umbrella handle, softly pleading: “Let’s go, let’s go, please.”

Yu Li cast a sidelong glance at him and nodded reluctantly.

The two of them went to the kitchen under the same umbrella, Xie Fei said while preparing, “I don’t know when Mr. Yan’s friend will arrive, he said it’s in the afternoon, hopefully he doesn’t get stuck in the rain.”

Yu Li leaned against the refrigerator and casually asked, “Is there someone else coming today?”

Xie Fei told the story of Yan Lai’s copyright sale, and heard Yu Li ask, “What’s the screenwriter’s name?”

“I think his name is Yu Jincheng?”

“Him, he’s good.” Yu Li said in a rare compliment.

Xie Fei could not mention how surprised he was, the person who could be rated by Yu Li as good must be quite good, “You know him?”

“Yu Jincheng is the number one scriptwriter of 《 Demon King, Seeking Light Favour 》 and the ratings record of that drama has not been broken so far.” Yu Li pretended to mention his own actual performance inadvertently: “He was brought out by Lu Xiping himself, and now he can also take project’s of his own.”

The two of them chatted with each other, and Xie Fei learned that the scriptwriter Yu used to have a bad time and worked as a shooter[1] for the studio for many years until he met his own Bole[2].

[1] shooter- in this paragraph means- qiāng shǒu (枪手) someone who produces a piece of work for someone else to pass off as their own.] [2] Bole – talent hunter.]

“So the two of them are still classmates, I didn’t expect Mr. Lu to be so good.” Since there was no oven in the inn, Xie Fei put the stirred egg yolk batter into the rice cooker and turned his head to ask, “I didn’t put milk in it, can I brush it with some honey?”

Yu Li said with no expression: “Whatever, I won’t eat it anyway.”

“The cake I made is quite delicious, don’t you want to try it?”

” It wasn’t made for me any-way.”

Xie Fei always felt that Yu Li’s words had a bit of sourness in them, so he held back a smile and said, “I’ll make you an extra-large one for your birthday. By the way, is your birthday on New Year’s Day?”

” No”

“It’s written on your fan site.” Xie Fei turned his face in confusion, ” Then when is it.”

Yu Li was stunned, then said impatiently, “Who remembers something so long ago.”

“Then you can spend your birthday with me.”

” You think—-”

The voice stopped abruptly, and after a while, Yu Li coughed lightly: “What did you say?”

Xie Fei stretched out a hand, with a strawberry cut into the shape of a rabbit lying in the palm: “I said, brother, you and I can spend my birthday together, my birthday is May 21.”

Yu Li was silent for a while, took the strawberry that Xie Fei handed over and stuffed it into his mouth, and answered vaguely.
Since it was time-consuming to make a birthday cake, it was half past six by the time Xie Fei was ready for dinner.

He stored the cake in the refrigerator and went out with a plate of dishes, only to find that the rain had stopped, and the petals and leaves in the courtyard were stained with rain like morning dew.

A figure walked in front, Xie Fei paused: “Mr. Yan, has your friend arrived yet?”

“Not yet ……” Yan Lai looked a little anxious, he picked his hair: “The phone is also turned off, I don’t know what happened.”

Maybe the mobile phone is out of power, and it just rained so hard that most of the traffic jams on the road. Xie Fei comforted, “Are you hungry? How about waiting for him first?”

Yan Lai was a little embarrassed: “It’s too troublesome…”

“It’s no trouble, there are no other guests today anyway.” Xie Fei was actually a little hungry, but the customer came first, he half-smiled and said, “It’s just hot dishes at most, Mr. Yan just don’t dislike it.”

Yan Lai did not dare to dislike it, but only wanted to praise Mr. Xie, the angel on earth.

But he waited for more than two hours and still did not see Yu Jincheng’s shadow, started watching the news.

“Boss Xie, come and see!” Yan Lai, who was sitting in the lobby, roared in alarm, jumped off the stool and rushed towards Xie Fei: “The news said that eighteen cars crashed on the highway in the afternoon, and one of the tourist buses ran off the bridge!”

Xie Fei froze, rushed over, face paling with each second, “It’s a direct bus from Nanshan City to Xining Village. Did Mr. Yu come from Nanshan City? Did he drive by himself?”

“I, I’m not sure ……” Yan Lai deflated, and hated that he didn’t ask a few more questions when he contacted the other party: “I only know that he is in Nanshan City ……”

The two men looked at each other, both very uneasy.

The bus that fell off the bridge, the mobile phone that couldn’t get through, the late guest… The three conditions put together, Xie Fei and Yan Lai couldn’t help but think in the worst direction, they simply wanted to call the police on the spot!

Yan Lai’s heart burned with anxiety, suddenly he caught a glimpse of a man standing in front of the fence.

Not trusting his own eyes, he asked in a low voice, “Boss Xie, do you see someone there?”

Xie Fei looked out through the octagonal window lattice, and slapped his leg suddenly: ” There really is. ”

The two of them suddenly ran out like prisoners released from prison, and saw a young man in his twenties standing at the entrance of the inn, with a fluttering paper lantern hanging by the door, the warm yellow glow reflected the young man’s eyebrows like a painting, with a kind of androgynous beauty, but he was wet, as if he had just gotten wet in a heavy rain.

But the rain, long ago stopped.

But at this time, the two of them didn’t have time to think, Xie Fei asked nervously, “Are you Mr. Yu Jincheng?”

The young man was stunned for a while, then smiled slowly, his eyes were gentle and vivid, and his voice was as moist as spring water: “Hello, I’m Yu Jincheng.”

“You’re finally here!” Yan Lai was so excited that he almost burst into tears, he was worried that it would be awkward to communicate with someone he didn’t know well, but now with this episode, when he saw Yu Jincheng again, he felt like his family: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Yu Jincheng looked apologetic, “Is this Mr. Yan? Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, not at all. Please come inside.” Yan Lai offered the unprecedented enthusiasm and initiative never found in his life, as if to replace Xie Fei as an innkeeper, and asked him warmly along the way, “Are you hungry? Why are you all wet?”

“I’m not hungry.” Yu Jincheng suddenly stopped, his expression seemed a little distressed, and after a while, he said, “There was a car accident on the road, many cars collided, and it was raining heavily.”

It was a car accident!

Fortunately, he was fine.

Considering that Yu Jincheng was frightened just now, Yan Lai was embarrassed to ask in detail, “Then go back to the house and take a hot bath… Hey, where’s your luggage?”

“The luggage is lost.”

Yan Lai couldn’t help sympathizing with the other party, “We are about the same height, I’ll bring you a set of clean clothes later…” After speaking, he thought that he couldn’t provide a change of underwear, so he looked at Xie Fei for help.

Xie Fei understood in seconds and said with a smile, “There are disposable underwear in the inn. I’ll send them to your room.”

Yu Jincheng felt a little uncomfortable, “Thank you, xiǎo dìdì” (xiǎo dìdì – little brother)

“You’re welcome.” Xie Fei was repulsed by the other party’s address, half smiling and correcting himself, “I am the owner of the inn, my name is Xie Fei.”

As they crossed the courtyard to the garden, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the bushes and jumped in front of them with fluffy tails.

” Is this a pet kept in the inn?” Yu Jincheng stared in surprise at a squirrel that was making a bow at them.

“No.” Yan Lai explained instead of Xie Fei: “I don’t know if it’s cold recently, but some small animals in the mountains always come to the inn to ask for some food.”

“How nice, they are not afraid of people.” Yu Jincheng smiled lightly and bent down to touch the squirrel’s head, but the squirrel suddenly blew up, screamed fiercely, and leapt up a tree again.

Yu Jincheng was stunned in place, and Yan Lai was also a little embarrassed: “Maybe its a little wary because it haven’t seen you before.”

Xie Fei was very calm. He walked to a room in the west to open the door and handed the room card to Yu Jincheng: “Mr. Yan lives next door. You can rest tonight and register tomorrow.”

Yu Jincheng thanked softly.

After settling down the guest, Xie Fei went to the utility room to look for paper underwear, but there were too many things piled up in the room, so he couldn’t find them for half a day. He thought of two boxes of unopened panties in the bedroom, so he could save the day.

When he went upstairs, Xie Fei passed by Yu Li’s bedroom and saw that the door was open and the other party was sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a bathrobe and a large bath towel over his head, obviously having just taken a shower.

Probably sensing his line of sight, Yu Li turned his head sideways and suddenly frowned: “Who’s here?”

Xie Fei simply stopped: “Mr. Yu.”

The etching between Yu Li’s eyebrows deepened, and after a long time, he pulled off the bath towel, got up and walked to the door: “You’re celebrating that chicken’s birthday tonight?”

“Yes, it has to be after 12 o’clock.” Xie Fei automatically ignored Yu Li’s name for Yan Lai, “Mr. Yan usually sleeps very late.”

“I’m going too.”

Xie Fei was surprised, Yu Li did not look like he was willing to celebrate Yan Lai’s birthday.

“Yu Jincheng should be there.” Yu Li leaned against the door frame and explained in a light voice: “Since we know each other, I should visit.”

Xie Fei understood and smiled happily: “Then I’ll call you when the time comes, let’s not talk about it, I have to go back to the room to find a pair of underwear for Mr. Yu.”

“…find what?”

“Underpants, he had a car accident on the way, got in the rain and lost his luggage—”

“you dare!”

As soon as Xie Fei heard Yu Li’s frantic tone, he knew that the other party was about to start acting again.

It’s not that he’s narcissistic, but Xie Fei always felt that Yu Li had an extraordinary desire to control and monopolize him, somewhat similar to a child’s “you can only be with me”, but Xie Fei found it quite cute, and even vaguely enjoyed it in his heart, he deliberately asked, “Then what should I do, I can’t let guests not wear them.”

Yu Li’s expression changed several times, and finally turned back to his room with a sullen face to rummage through the boxes, and only after about five or six minutes did he find a delicate cardboard box from an unused suitcase.

He tossed the box to Xie Fei and said, “Let him wear this.”

Xie Fei hurriedly caught it and gazed at the label size attached to the box of underwear, a capital “M”.

He slowly made an exclamation mark in his heart, and subconsciously asked, “Isn’t it a little small?”

The author has something to say.

A Li: ? ? ? ?

Cuicui: I mean, the print is too small.
