After eating this bowl of grass jelly, the big shots who originally wanted to party until late at night tactfully dispersed.
Li Xiaoheng drove Tao Mu back to the hotel. During this period, Tao Mu also gave Li Xiaoheng some advice: "Since you think we should be honest with each other, don't always act so perfect. Don't just indulge me. If you always show unconditional tolerance towards me, it will make me feel very insecure. I don't know if your tolerance only exists during the passionate period. Once the passion fades, you will feel that all the concessions and compromises you have made for this relationship are not worth it."
And in response to Li Xiaoheng's theory that he was a seasoning pot, Tao Mu also had something to say: "When two people get along, it's like putting two different ingredients in a pot. If you want to live a flavorful life, seasoning is indispensable. For example, you worked hard to make a birthday cake for me, and you prepared it for so long, but I complained that the cake was too sweet and not delicious. You don't care once or twice, but after a long time, will you think that I don't care about your efforts and dedication at all, and only blame you for everything. Will you feel tired? When you are so tired that you don't want to maintain this relationship, but you are embarrassed to tell me, and finally choose to betray me quietly, what should I do?"
Tao Mu's words were also inspired. After all, when he was with Zhuo Yan in his previous life, he paid too much attention to his own emotions and did not notice Zhuo Yan's changes. In the end, he didn't even know when Zhuo Yan began to feel tired of being with him and didn't want to maintain this relationship anymore. When did you fall in love with Shen Yu?
After living his life again, Tao Mu was not sure how far he and Li Xiaoheng could go. But at least when it comes to relationships, he doesn't want to go back to the old ways.
President Li, who had minored in psychology, keenly noticed that Tao Mu's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. He paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "You have a point. So from now on, I will try my best to convey my emotions to you. We can talk openly about anything. If we have an argument due to different opinions, we can have a big fight. But we must make peace after the fight."
As if he thought this request was a bit presumptuous, Li Xiaoheng paused for a moment and added, "Even if you haven't reconciled, you are not allowed to run away from home, you are not allowed to ignore the other person's phone calls, and you are not allowed to deliberately show intimacy with outsiders just to piss off the other person."
So what movies and TV shows do you usually watch?
Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng with a strange expression, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then let's sign a memorandum after we go back." It was my first time falling in love, so I really had no experience. Li Xiaoheng could only try his best to move the unfamiliar field towards the direction that he was familiar with. He does everything in a methodical manner. It has been less than a year since the relationship was confirmed, and we have signed countless contracts, letters of intent and memoranda of understanding. Now, additional clauses have even been developed. Treat your lover exactly like a partner. I guess outsiders would find the love pattern of these two people weird.
Fortunately, Tao Mu was also willing to cooperate with Li Xiaoheng. All we can say is that you can put a lid on the pot that matches yours.
When we returned to the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Li Xiaoheng asked Tao Mu to wash up and go to rest first, while he stayed in the study to write a memo. Show it to Tao Mu the next morning. Then in the evening, the two of them discussed the details of the memorandum. If there is no problem, you can sign it.
Tao Mu disagreed: "Didn't we agree to be frank and get to know each other in depth? The process of drafting the memorandum together is also a process of mutual understanding. We can feel each other's thoughts more intuitively."
Li Xiaoheng thought about it and said, "Okay."
So the two of them actually chatted in the study for more than an hour. Later, Li Xiaoheng felt that discussing the details of the memorandum in such a serious manner seemed very distant. The two went to the bathroom to take a shower, blow-dry their hair, and then returned to the bedroom to lie down. Li Xiaoheng also opened a bottle of red wine, and the two of them discussed while drinking.
Then we fell asleep while discussing.
At 7:30 the next day, when Li Xiaoheng was woken up by the alarm clock, Tao Mu was still sleeping.
Mr. Li quickly pressed the alarm, packed up the A4 paper, signature pen and laptop spread out on the bed and took them out. When I carefully checked the memo, I found that there were many ridiculous clauses on it -
For example, Tao Mu doesn't like Western food, but for Li Xiaoheng's eating habits, he is willing to accompany Mr. Li to eat Western food. But Mr. Li couldn't think it was shameful that Tao Mu asked for a well-done steak. Because he really couldn't eat a medium-rare steak; and Tao Mu didn't like to peel apples when eating them, and President Li thought that apples must be peeled to avoid pesticide residues...
"What are you laughing at?" Li Xiaoheng was looking down at the memo when he heard a confused voice coming from behind him.
Tao Mu walked out of the bedroom in pajamas, his hair was a little messy, and his face was covered with red marks from sleeping. He rubbed his eyes and asked Li Xiaoheng at the bedroom door.
Li Xiaoheng turned his head, raised the memo in his hand, and said to Tao Mu: "Look at the memo we discussed last night. By the way, there is also a rule that you are not allowed to rub your eyes with your hands."
Tao Mu paused for a moment while rubbing his eyes, and immediately said, "I'll go wash my face."
Li Xiaoheng leisurely swung his tail and followed Tao Mu into the bathroom: "I didn't know before that you like to eat well-done steak. Don't you think it's a bit old?"
"It's a bit old, but I feel sick if it's not cooked properly." Since he promised to be honest, Tao Mu naturally wouldn't hide his living habits and food tastes. In Li Xiaoheng's words, concealing such things for the sake of face is really asking for trouble.
Li Xiaoheng nodded, leaned against the door frame and asked, "I have a bad stomach, and spicy food makes me uncomfortable. But I really like spicy food, what should I do?"
"You can eat slightly spicy food. Eat less. Or when you cook next time, make half spicy and half non-spicy." Since you don't want to put yourself in a difficult position, and you don't want to put the other person in a difficult position, you can only make it a little more troublesome. Fortunately, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng both know how to cook, so even if it is troublesome, it is not too troublesome.
Li Xiaoheng continued to flip through the memo, and then said, "We actually discussed the decoration plan for the new house in the memo... You actually want to decorate it yourself. Don't you feel tired?"
Mr. Li believes that everyone has their own expertise, and the homeowner only needs to make his or her requirements, and the rest can be left to the designer and decoration team.
"Is there?"
Tao Mu stood under the shower and raised his head, rubbing his face while recalling carefully, but he really couldn't remember what they talked about last night.
"Yes." Li Xiaoheng nodded affirmatively. Looking at the key marks on the memo, President Li said, "You emphasized many times that we must do the renovation ourselves."
"Forgot." Tao Mu washed his hair and started to apply shower gel again: "Anyway, neither of us has time. Let's leave it to the decoration team."
Li Xiaoheng frowned and said, "I think we can compromise. We can go to the building materials market to select materials, and then go to the furniture store to select furniture and electrical appliances. We can communicate our ideas carefully with the designer, and after the decoration team arrives, we can follow them from time to time."
To some extent, I can be considered to have participated in the entire decoration plan.
Tao Mu lowered his head and rinsed the shower gel. He didn't have his own home in his previous life. After being kicked out of the Shen family mansion, he had been living with Zhuo Yan. The only house under Tao Mu's name was bought with the film remuneration he had accumulated over the years. He was filming in another place when the renovation was taking place, so Zhuo Yan left all the renovation matters to the renovation team. When Tao Mu returned to Shanghai, he saw a new house that was so exquisite that it could be used as a model house. Although all the decoration details and furniture were made according to Tao Mu's preferences, Tao Mu still had no sense of belonging.
He hardly lived in that house. Even after he broke up with Zhuo Yan and he moved into a hotel, he never lived there.
So last night, Tao Mu probably had an impulse and made such an unrealistic request - a duplex of nearly 200 square meters, and he actually wanted to decorate it himself. Tao Mu probably couldn't pretend even if he worked himself to death - he didn't even pass junior high school physics and couldn't even connect an electric wire.
Li Xiaoheng grabbed the memo, looked carefully at Tao Mu's good figure being caressed by the warm water, and suddenly asked: "Do you want a back rub?"
"No need." Tao Mu rinsed off the foam on his body and was about to come out when he saw President Li suddenly take off his pajamas and squeeze in, turning on the shower: "Then start practicing!"
Tao Mu quickly covered Mr. Li's mouth. Feeling Mr. Li's warm lips kissing his palm, he said without hesitation: "You didn't brush your teeth this morning!"
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu helplessly and could only retreat dripping wet. Walking to the sink, she squeezed toothpaste while complaining, "I think we need to add another item to our memo: partners must be romantic once in a while."
"I also think we should add one more thing to the memo. Like partners must always pay attention to hygiene."
Tao Mu walked out with a smile, put the big bath towel around his waist, and took a towel to wipe his head. The hair was brushed until it looked like a black back that had just taken a shower.
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu through the mirror and suddenly emphasized: "After returning to Beijing, let's decorate your house together."
Tao Mu wiped his hair and said, "No need to be so troublesome."
His face was tightly covered with a towel. "The online shopping platform will be online soon. You will be very busy with work after returning to Beijing. I can do it myself. If I am really too busy, I can ask my father Yao and Xiao Qi's father for help."
August is still summer vacation anyway. He spent at least half a month to oversee the decoration.
"No matter how busy you are, you can always spare some time." Li Xiaoheng joked calmly, "After all, this is the home I'm going to live in for the rest of my life. I have to at least make sure that after the renovation, I can live comfortably."
Tao Mu paused for a moment while wiping his hair, and said with a complicated mood: "That's fine."
Li Xiaoheng smiled slightly, took a shower, and went to discuss the itinerary arrangements after returning to Beijing with Assistant Jiang.
Mr. Li has to meet with a client at 9:30. After breakfast, I left. Tao Mu had just finished filming, so he was free from worries. He changed into a set of sportswear and staggered to the next room, ready to discuss with his Yao's father, Xiao Qi's father and their old man where to go for fun today.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go out and buy some souvenirs before leaving Xiangcheng, and give them to relatives and friends after returning to Beijing. Tao Mu directly asked the hotel to send a car to follow them. A family of four went straight to the mall.
——Then I ran into Mr. Lin San, who was shopping with his lover in the mall.
