Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 723 Secret Base
"Great! I finally have a friend like you!" Mu Yan said excitedly.

Lin Ke looked at his happy expression and couldn't help but smile.

Maybe it's not bad to be friends with him.

After paying the bill, Lin Ke stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let me take you home."

"No need, I can go back by myself." Mu Yan said quickly, "You have helped me a lot, I can't trouble you anymore."

"It's okay, it's just on the way." Lin Ke insisted, "You're a girl, I'm worried about you so late at night."

"Well... okay." Mu Yan couldn't persuade him and had to agree.

Lin Ke sent Mou Yan to the downstairs of his house and watched him go upstairs before turning around and leaving.

Instead of returning to the hotel, he went to another residence nearby.

There was his secret base.

Lin Ke walked into the room, turned on the light, and lay down on the sofa tiredly.

What happened today made him feel a little tired.

He just wanted to be alone for a while.

The cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the brief silence in the room.

Lin Ke frowned impatiently and fumbled to pick up the phone from the coffee table.

The three words "Wang Xinxin" flashed on the screen.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Xinxin."

"Lin Ke, where are you? Why don't you answer the phone?" There was a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction in Wang Xinxin's voice.

"I'm on vacation, what's wrong?" Lin Ke said calmly, with no emotion in his tone.

"Vacation? You alone?" Wang Xinxin obviously didn't believe it.

"What else?" Lin Ke asked, "Could it be that I brought a group of people with me?"

"You..." Wang Xinxin was choked by his words, "Don't come on, there must be someone else around you, right?"

Lin Ke was silent for a few seconds and didn't say anything.

"Lin Ke, tell me honestly, are you with that woman?" Wang Xinxin raised her voice a few degrees, with a hint of questioning in her tone.

"Xinxin, stop thinking about it. I'm alone." Lin Ke's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Lin Ke, you..." Wang Xinxin wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lin Ke.

"Xinxin, I have something else to do. I'll hang up now."

After saying that, Lin Ke hung up the phone without waiting for Wang Xinxin to say anything else.

He threw his phone aside and scratched his hair in annoyance.

Wang Xinxin's call made his already troubled mood even worse.

It's not that he doesn't know what Wang Xinxin is thinking, but he has always deliberately kept his distance from him.

He didn't want to have any emotional entanglement with him, and he didn't want his career to be affected by him.

He just wants to be a good actor quietly and make more and better works.

However, Wang Xinxin didn't seem to understand his thoughts and always tried to get close to him in every possible way.

This made Lin Ke feel helpless and exhausted.

He rubbed his brows, trying to relax himself.

As the night deepened, the city gradually returned to calm, with only the street lights still emitting a dim light. Lin Ke's secret base, a single-family villa far away from the city center, was shrouded in silence at this moment.

He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Wang Xinxin's call was like a thorn in his heart, making him feel irritated.

He simply got up, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window, his mind full of thoughts.

"Why am I always troubled by these things?" he muttered to himself, his tone full of helplessness and fatigue.

He longs for a pure relationship, but in the world of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, true love seems to have become a luxury.

He took a long puff of his cigarette, put out the butt in the ashtray, turned back to the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, a strange feeling came over him.

He felt as if someone was watching him, and the feeling became stronger and stronger, making him shiver.

He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and looked around. The room was pitch black. Only the faint light from outside the window shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

"Is it my illusion?" he said to himself, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

He got up from the bed, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked carefully to make sure there was no one outside.

He checked every corner of the room, even under the bed and in the closet, but still found nothing.

"Maybe I'm really too tired, so I'm thinking too much." He comforted himself.

He returned to the bed, lay down again, closed his eyes, and forced himself not to think about those messy things and sleep peacefully.

The sun slowly rises from the sea level, the golden sunlight shines on the sea, the waves are sparkling, and the sea breeze brings bursts of fresh air.

Lin Ke wore sunglasses, a wide-brimmed sun hat, a white T-shirt, and beach pants. He sat leisurely on the yacht, holding a fishing rod in his hand, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Jingle Bell……"

A rapid cell phone ring broke the tranquility on the sea.

Lin Ke took out his cell phone impatiently and looked at the caller ID. It was Wang Xinxin.

He frowned, hung up the phone directly, and turned his phone to silent mode.

"It's really haunting." He complained in a low voice, threw his phone aside and continued fishing.

At the same time, in a city far away from the sea, Lin Ke’s secret base - the detached villa far away from the city center, is not peaceful at this moment.

Mou Yan was wearing Lin Ke's white T-shirt. The T-shirt was loose and comfortable on Lin Ke, but it looked particularly large on Mou Yan, making him look like a child who had stolen adult clothes, making him look even more petite and delicate.

He stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, a happy smile on his face.

"Is this his smell?" He picked up the T-shirt, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, with an obsessed look on his face.

He opened Lin Ke's closet, which was filled with neatly hung clothes of various styles. Each piece was of great value, made of exquisite materials and fine workmanship.

He picked up a black shirt at random, gestured in front of the mirror, and imagined how Lin Ke would look in it.

"He looks good in anything he wears." He said to himself, a blush on his face.

He put down the shirt and picked up a white T-shirt with Lin Ke's photo printed on it. He had specially customized it.

He held the T-shirt tightly in his arms, as if he was holding Lin Ke himself.

"Lin Ke, you are mine, and only mine." He murmured to himself, with a hint of crazy possessiveness in his tone.

He looked around and his eyes finally fell on Lin Ke's bed.

It was a king-size bed with a soft and comfortable mattress. There was a photo of Lin Ke placed on the bedside. In the photo, he had a sunny smile and gentle eyes.
