When Ye Yan decides to grow her hair long Gu Mo: Hah, she's finding out what I like so she can flirt with me. When Ye Yan goes to bathe in the hot springs at Bath Gu Mo covers his nosebleed.

I'll write it on yours too.” Gu Mo: “...” Ye Yan stands in front of him with her hair over her shoulders, dressed just like her younger sister. She smiles brightly. “Do we look like twins?” Gu Mo stares at her long hair, his gaze intense. He takes a deep breath. “Y-you grew your hair long just so you could dress up as twins with my sister?” Ye Yan looks confused. “Why else?” Gu Mo: “...” Once the layers of “truth” are finally revealed, Gu Mo grits his teeth at his reflection. “This face is completely useless!” At first, he thought she was attracted to his face.

He brings his own water bottle to the set and would rather mooch a crew meal than buy instant noodles. His assistant, feeling the strange looks from everyone around him, watches the man who just mooched a crew meal and asks, baffled, “Brother Gu, you're earning over ten thousand a month now. Why are you still so... frugal?” Gu Mo is grinning foolishly at a photo of someone he stole from his younger sister's social media. He looks up at his assistant and says meaningfully, “Because I owe someone very important money. Once I pay her back, I'll be qualified to make her someone even more important to me.” Reading Guide: #Both are virgins, 1v1# #Everything is just what he thinks he thinks# * ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ▼Upcoming Novel Blurb▼ [I'm on Official Business in the Mortal Realm].
