Chapter 265, Part 265

265:

After putting away his savings book, Ye Qingxi prepared to take a shower and go to bed. It was only when he took off his smartwatch that he realized that Grandpa Feng had sent him a WeChat message.

Grandpa Feng: [Happy New Year, Xiao Xi!]

Grandpa Feng: [Transfer]

Ye Qingxi looked at the transfer amount on the screen and counted it carefully. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands—he had actually transferred 66,666 to her!

Ye Qingxi quickly replied: 【Great-Grandpa, this red envelope is too big, I can't accept it.】

Grandpa Feng was sitting on the sofa chatting with his siblings when he saw the message. He immediately replied: "It's not big, you can accept it."

Ye Qingxi: [It's really too big. Just send me a size 66.]

Grandpa Feng: ? ? ?

Sixty-six?

He's never tipped this low before!

Finally, after much discussion, Ye Qingxi could only accept a maximum of 666.66 yuan, so Grandpa Feng had no choice but to transfer the money to him again.

Sigh, it's all because his grandson is useless. If his relationship with Mu Shaowu had been stable earlier, the child wouldn't be so embarrassed to accept such a small amount of money.

Thinking of this, Old Master Feng glared at Feng Que from afar.

It was almost 1 a.m. when the Feng family members started getting up and preparing to go home.

Grandpa Feng saw his brothers and sisters off, and after they left, he reminded his grandson, "It's the New Year, don't forget to give Xiaoxi a red envelope."

Feng Que certainly hadn't forgotten; in fact, he had wanted to post it for a while, but his phone died as soon as he opened WeChat, and all the power banks at home were occupied by other people, so he put his phone back in his bedroom to charge.

Adding to the fact that he rarely comes back, and this year is the New Year, the Feng family, from the oldest to the youngest, didn't let him off the hook. Even the three-year-old child had to say a few words to him when he saw him, so he couldn't get away at all.

"I'll send it in a bit."

"It'll be a while, the kids will be asleep soon, let's go now!"

"Aren't I going to take you back to your room now?" Feng Que raised the arm that was supporting him.

Grandpa Feng: ? ? ?

"Am I so old that I can't walk on my own?" Old Master Feng raised his cane and gently tapped his leg. "I can walk by myself!"

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que had no choice but to return to his room.

He turned on his phone, opened WeChat, and saw a dense stream of New Year's greetings.

However, among all these little red dots, there wasn't a single one for Mu Shaowu.

Feng Que scrolled down for a long time before finally seeing Mu Shaowu's profile picture.

He opened it, and the conversation was still stuck on the content of the conversation he had when he went up to find him.

Very good. It seems that unless he takes the initiative to contact Mu Shaowu, Mu Shaowu will definitely not remember him!

Frustrated, Feng Que threw his phone onto the bed!

Honestly, I didn't tell him I left the film set in the morning, I didn't tell him I landed, and I didn't tell him I got home.

He had to take the initiative to ask!

Now, on New Year's Eve, during the Spring Festival, he doesn't even say "Happy New Year" to him!

Feng Que was puzzled. Was Mu Shaowu and the other directors also so aloof?

They don't contact each other at all outside of work hours?!

Feng Que silently scrolled up and clicked on Ye Qingxi's profile picture.

He knew that Mu Shaowu and the others had left, landed, and arrived home thanks to Ye Qingxi.

Compared to his father, Ye Qingxi is much cuter. When she leaves the film set, she will make a point of saying goodbye to him. She is very polite!

Just like now, Ye Qingxi would say to him: "Uncle Feng, Happy New Year!"

It even comes with a cute cat greeting for the New Year!

Unlike him, who seems to disappear when he leaves the film crew, heaven knows what he's doing now!

Feng Que: [Happy New Year, Xiao Xi.]

Feng Que: [I was busy just now, there were too many people at home, and my phone was dead, so I couldn't reply to you right away.]

Feng Que: [Transfer]

When Ye Qingxi came out of the shower, she saw the WeChat message Feng Que had sent her.

That's why he and Grandpa Feng are grandfather and grandson, since they both transferred 66,666.

Ye Qingxi: [Uncle Feng, does this number have any special meaning in your family?]

Phoenix Palace: ? ? ?

Feng Que asked, puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"

Ye Qingxi: [Because Great-Grandpa Feng also transferred this much to me.]

Feng Que smiled: "[May all your luck be good this year. Sharing this is my way of wishing you a smooth and prosperous year, with good fortune turning misfortune into blessing.]"

Ye Qingxi: [You don't need to forward so many.]

Feng Que: Not many, right?

Ye Qingxi: [Uncle Feng, could you also send me 666.66 yuan?]

Feng Que: [That won't do!]

The two chatted back and forth for a long time. In the end, Feng Que sent Ye Qingxi twelve 666.66 yuan, meaning that he hoped that Ye Qingxi would have a smooth, safe and healthy life in the next twelve months.

Ye Qingxi laughed, "Uncle Feng is quite cute."

Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?

"Your little hands are constantly moving, are you chatting with him?"

"Yes." Ye Qingxi nodded. "Uncle Feng gave me a red envelope."

"How much?" Mu Shaowu asked curiously.

"I thought 66,666 was too much, so I asked him to send me 666.66 yuan. But he sent me 12 instead, saying that I would have good luck in the next 12 months."

Mu Shaowu chuckled, "He even knows that six is ​​auspicious!"

He thought that a kid like Feng Que, who grew up abroad, wouldn't know.

"He even knew that misfortune could turn into good fortune."

Mu Shaowu clicked his tongue, "You actually know that misfortune can turn into good fortune?!"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi puffed out her cheeks. "It's been said on TV, of course I know."

Mu Shaowu nodded, "Television—your third teacher."

"That's right," Ye Qingxi admitted without any hesitation.

Seeing that he was silent, Feng Que asked him, "Are you going to sleep?"

Ye Qingxi: [Soon.]

Feng Que: So your dad's going to sleep too?

Doesn't he realize he's forgotten something?

Ye Qingxi: [Goodnight, Uncle Feng~ See you tomorrow~]

Feng Que: [Goodnight, see you tomorrow~]

He exited the chat window with Ye Qingxi and glanced at Mu Shaowu's profile picture again, but there was still no response.

Feng Que had no choice but to reply to some New Year's greetings on WeChat and then opened his Moments.

Upon opening this window, he saw the content posted on the assistant director's WeChat Moments.

Fu Bo: [I received so many New Year's greetings that if I didn't reply to anyone's WeChat message, it must be because I missed it. Please forgive me!]

Below are three screenshots. In the last one, although the name is blurred out, the profile picture is clearly that of Mu Shaowu!

He even sent New Year's greetings to the assistant director, but not to himself!

Feng Que could hardly believe it.

He asked the assistant director, "Did Mu Shaowu wish you a Happy New Year?"

The assistant director replied quickly: "Yes."

Feng Que: !! !! She actually sent it to him!

Assistant Director: [What, didn't Teacher Mu wish you a Happy New Year?]

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que, stubbornly clinging to his pride, said, "How could that be? I just didn't expect him to wish you a Happy New Year."

Assistant Director: [You know what, Teacher Mu is actually quite gentle and down-to-earth. Xiao Zhang, the head makeup artist, and Lao Li, the cinematographer, both told me that Teacher Mu sent them New Year's greetings via WeChat and even gave them red envelopes.]

Phoenix Palace: ? ? ? ?

Phoenix Palace: ...

So he has nothing, right?

Is this Chinese-style bullying?

They bullied him, a Chinese person who wasn't born and raised in China!

Feng Que was so angry that she opened Mu Shaowu's WeChat chat window, wanting to ask him why he wouldn't send her a New Year's greeting, but even after she had typed it out, she couldn't send it.

Asking that makes it seem like he cares a lot?

It made it seem like he had been waiting all night?

It seemed as if he had been constantly monitoring his movements ever since he left this morning.

Unlike the internationally renowned director Feng Que.

Like their family's Aristotle.

Feng Que quickly tossed his phone aside. It was just a New Year's greeting WeChat message.

Does he care?

He doesn't care!

He's going to sleep now, he doesn't care at all!

Then, half an hour later, Feng Que came out of the bathroom and picked up his phone again.

Good news: The number of red dots has indeed increased.

Bad news: None of it has anything to do with Mu Shaowu.

He's gotten even heavier now; if you don't scroll through a few pages, you'll almost lose track of him!

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que silently pinned Mu Shaowu to the top of his chat list. Of course, it wasn't for New Year's greetings; it was mainly because Mu Shaowu was the lead actor in his drama, so pinning him made communication easier.

Feng Que lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

"If he wishes me a Happy New Year now, I'll give him a red envelope containing 66,666 yuan," he thought.

At two o'clock, Feng Que turned on her phone and looked at her WeChat account, which remained unchanged.

That's true, it's too late, everyone should be asleep. Mu Shaowu must already be asleep. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he might find that he has missed an important person.

At three o'clock, Feng Que lay in bed, thinking that if he got up now and remembered that he had forgotten to send me a red envelope, he would send him 88,888 yuan.

At four o'clock, Feng Que turned on his phone again, looked at his WeChat account that was still pinned to the top of his chat list without any change, and silently closed his eyes.

At five o'clock, Feng Que suddenly sat up in bed.

"No, why did he forget about me? Am I that unimportant to him? Am I dispensable?!"

"Does he still remember that I was both his director and his fake boyfriend?!"

"A dual identity?! How could you forget that?!"

At six o'clock, Feng Que, who had been tossing and turning all night, finally felt a little sleepy.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Feng Que immediately picked it up.

He was a friend of his, who lived far away on the other side of the ocean.

[Hi Feng, is it Chinese New Year where you are? Happy New Year~]

Feng Que: ...Do you think I'm happy?!

Feng Que quickly turned on "Do Not Disturb" for everyone's WeChat accounts except for Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi.

Now, whenever his phone rings, he'll know it's from Mu Shaowu.

Feng Que closed his eyes.

Then, he slept peacefully until midnight.

At noon, the Feng family was having dinner, and the housekeeper knocked on the door to wake him up.

Feng Que sat up, yawned lazily, and got out of bed to wash up.

Once he was a little more awake, he quickly sped up his movements, finished washing up in a flash, and ran out of the bathroom.

Feng Que picked up his phone. The pinned post was exactly the same as the last time he saw it last night—no red dot, no new messages.

Phoenix Palace: ...6

Is this the top star who grew up in China?

They gave the director a hard time on the very first day of the new year.

Very good, I'll remember you!

Frustrated, Feng Que picked up his phone and walked outside.

Mu Shaowu was about to wake up by then.

He hadn't slept in since joining the crew, and now that he finally had a day off, he could finally sleep in, so his biological clock automatically adjusted to past midnight.

Mu Shaowu looked down and saw Ye Qingxi nestled in his arms, fast asleep, her little face all pink from sleep.

He raised his hand and poked it.

Ye Qingxi's long, curled eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful, hazy eyes.

Mu Shaowu's hand froze in mid-air.

He didn't mean to wake his son up.

"Why don't you... sleep a little longer?"

Ye Qingxi shook her head.

He actually woke up once around 10 o'clock, but seeing that his father was still sleeping, he didn't get up and went back to sleep.

Now, Ye Qingxi woke up again and, unusually, felt a little coquettish.

"Dad~" he whispered.

Mu Shaowu hummed in response and coaxed him, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qingxi hugged him and snuggled affectionately against him.

Mu Shaowu's heart melted instantly!

He hugged Ye Qingxi and showered him with kisses on his little face.

Ye Qingxi laughed, then nudged him shyly, "Dad, it's time for us to get up and eat."

"Eat Xiaoxi's glutinous rice balls first." Mu Shaowu said, then kissed him again.

Ye Qingxi laughed again.

Meanwhile, at the Feng family's dinner table, Grandpa Feng, seeing his grandson constantly looking down at his phone, said with displeasure, "We're eating! What are you looking at your phone for!"

Feng Que: ...If you knew that your future fake granddaughter-in-law hadn't sent me a message for a day, twelve hours, twenty-eight minutes, and thirty-six seconds, you would also think I'm unlucky.
