Chapter 70 Am I hallucinating?
Wen Shuang has been on vacation recently, and Xuan Zhe will not agree to let him continue working until the doctor confirms that he is fine, which results in Wen Shuang having a lot of free time.
After the press conference ended yesterday, I stayed in bed all night. Not only was my waist sore, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I received a call from Tan Li.
Wen Shuang said weakly: "Is it too late for me to regret now?"
Tan Li: "Then I can only hang myself at your doorstep."
Wen Shuang got up resignedly, cleaned up and washed up before going to find Tan Li. The man had a separate studio, not in the Chuanyu Building, which was just enough to avoid running into a bunch of paparazzi.
Tan Li had been waiting in the lounge for a long time. The makeup artist they hired was a friend of ten years. His skills were impeccable, but he was a bit... feminine. As soon as she saw Wen Shuang, she raised her orchid finger and said, "Oh, she's so beautiful. No wonder you said you can dress up as a woman."
When Wen Shuang heard this, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tan Li who was quick to act.
Wen Shuang rolled her eyes at Tan Li and said, "If you dare to make me wear a skirt, I'll kill myself!"
Tan Li: "Put it on before you die."
A white long dress, a wig, everything is available. Not to mention, some boys look like girls, and some girls look like boys, but Wen Shuang is more favored by God and has both.
"Dress up and go to my house. My mother is a great cook. She stewed braised pork elbow today. I asked her to make a big plate of seafood. As long as you do me a favor, even if it rains knives from the sky, I will do my best to bring it to you as long as it is what you want to eat." Tan Li knew that Wen Shuang didn't have many preferences. Xuan Zhe liked the most, and the second most was food. He didn't have the courage to make a fuss about President Xuan, so he could only start with satisfying his appetite.
Sure enough, Wen Shuang was moved.
"Does this 'later' mean before I'm buried?" Although Wen Shuang asked, there was no room for negotiation.
Tan Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Wen Shuang sat in front of the makeup mirror and said, "Okay."
It's a good deal to exchange women's clothing for a lifetime of delicious food.
Wen Shuang has a small frame, but she looks a bit thicker than most girls when she wears a skirt. It's not a big problem, but she can't wear high heels. They pinch her feet and make her grimace, let alone walk normally. Wen Shuang refused to wear them, so Tan Li had no choice but to make her change into sneakers and a black Chanel bag. Perfect!
The person in front of me was dressed in a white dress and looked as quiet as a virgin. Her big chestnut-colored wavy hair gave her a pure look with a natural desire. She had fair skin and delicate features. It would be no problem for her to get the title of a small flower girl in the entertainment industry.
"Brother, if I didn't have anyone in my heart right now, I would definitely fall in love with you at first sight." Tan Li joked.
Wen Shuang glanced at him and naturally knew who Tan Li had in mind. She wanted to say something but held it back. The two said goodbye to the makeup artist and came out of the studio. When they got into the car, Wen Shuang vaguely heard the sound of a shutter.
"Don't worry about it." Tan Li looked straight ahead, "It's most likely someone from Tan Tianhe."
Wen Shuang buckled her seatbelt: "You are so patient, letting him harass you."
"This shows that Tan Tianhe is afraid." Tan Li said in a calm tone, then smiled and said, "You are the boss today, you have the final say, don't hesitate to ask for anything you want."
The car turned an intersection, and Wen Shuang caught a glimpse of a milk tea shop. She suddenly said, "Wait, I want to drink milk tea."
Tan Li just slowed down the car: "No way, you're a grown man..."
Wen Shuang glanced at him calmly, and Tan Li immediately braked, "Okay!"
The two of them got out of the car together, looking like a couple on a date. Tan Li wore sunglasses, and Wen Shuang's entire temperament changed from head to toe. With the eye shadow on, she looked stunningly beautiful. It was hard to equate him with the new popular star.
Today happened to be the weekend, and there were many young people in front of the milk tea shop. There was a mother holding a child, and the little boy kept staring at Wen Shuang. Finally, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he blurted out "Beautiful sister" and buried his face in his mother's shoulder, which made a lot of people laugh.
Wen Shuang: "..." Although it was a compliment, why was he so embarrassed?
"Thank you, thank you..." Wen Shuang said softly while pinching her throat.
"You..." A little girl pointed at Tan Li excitedly. As soon as she said this word, Tan Li and Wen Shuang's hearts skipped a beat. As expected, the next sentence the little girl said was: "You are Tan Li, right?"
Tan Li: “…”
"Really?" The little girl pulled her little sister over and her voice became louder and louder: "Oh my God, it's really Tan Li!"
Tan Li saw many people looking over here, and was surprised to realize that he was no longer the person who had been hidden for several years. The popularity of his new drama was still there. His agent said last night that the number of fans had skyrocketed by five million. It was a bit presumptuous for him to go out on the street so openly.
Wen Shuang made a prompt decision: "I don't want to drink anymore, let's go."
"Tan Li!" Someone screamed hysterically, expressing the excitement of unexpectedly meeting their idol. A thin-looking girl almost knocked Wen Shuang away when she rushed over. She quickly took out a Parker pen from her schoolbag and then looked cautious, "Tan Li... can you sign an autograph for me?"
Tan Li thought that if he rejected the little girl, she would cry, so he signed on the clothes as she wished, and at the same time gave Wen Shuang a wink.
Wen Shuang understood, but just as she opened the driver's door, she heard someone behind her shout, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
He almost missed a step and fell on the spot.
Tan Li made a gesture to keep quiet, smiled gently at everyone, and drove away quickly while the situation was under control, but he was still photographed. When the two of them arrived at an old residential complex with lingering fears, the hot search #Tan Li takes his girlfriend shopping# had soared to eighth place on the list.
The community is very old, even the gate is made of iron from ten years ago. Wen Shuang saw the severely eroded sign at the door, "The Third Community for Teachers and Staff."
"Your mother is a teacher?" Wen Shuang asked.
"Yeah." Tan Li's expression softened unconsciously when mentioning his mother: "She is a university teacher and very knowledgeable. My father saw my mother when he was studying and fell in love with her at first sight." It was also after Tan's father passed away that Tan's mother's mental state suffered a great blow.
This community is mostly inhabited by elderly people, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed than outside. Everyone sits under the shade of trees playing chess and chatting. When they see Tan Li and Wen Shuang, they are just amazed at how good-looking the two young people are, and they don't know whether they are celebrities or not, so their journey is rarely smooth.
Tan's mother lives on the second floor and is not short of money. She must have some concerns if she insists on staying.
Sure enough, before opening the door, Tan Li whispered, "Actually, this is my mother's house. After she married my father, they lived here most of the time."
As soon as the door was opened, the tempting aroma of meat came into the air. Wen Shuang couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately felt that the lunch box she had at Tan Li's place at noon had been digested. Tan's mother heard the noise and poked her head out from the kitchen. Time has not defeated beauty. Although she was over fifty and had a head full of silver hair, she was particularly charming when she smiled, and her graceful demeanor in her youth could be vaguely seen.
"Here it comes." Tan's mother wiped the water on her hands onto her apron and stared at Wen Shuang without blinking. Her mental state could not be described as good, but it always made people feel dazed.
"Hello, Auntie." Wen Shuang lowered her head slightly and pinched her throat carefully. In fact, she was afraid that Tan's mother would notice something, but she still showed a girlish shyness.
"Good! Good..." Tan's mother was very satisfied with Wen Shuang. She took her hand and asked him to sit down. She poured tea and brought fruit, her face full of joy. She went to the kitchen to check on the chicken soup and dragged Tan Li with her. She patted his shoulder excitedly and said proudly, "You're great, little boy! You found such a beautiful one! Your mother is a little presbyopic, and she seemed a little tall at first glance, but she's really nice when you get closer!"
"Well, don't you take a look at your son's hardware?" Tan Li said nonchalantly, "I carefully selected Xiaoshuang, and I almost chose a man."
Although Tan's mother was confused for a long time, she was particularly clear-headed when she was awake: "You don't have to test me with this. I have no opinion on whether it's a boy or a girl. Choosing a boyfriend or girlfriend is not like picking cabbages. Character comes first."
"Yeah." Tan Li responded. He was pursuing that girl but he still hadn't gotten her.
Tan's mother cooked eight dishes. The braised pork elbow was placed in front of Wen Shuang. It was more fragrant than the ones in the restaurant. There were also pickled seafood on hand. Wen Shuang sucked her saliva and said modestly, "Auntie, I have a big appetite..."
Tan's mother didn't take it too seriously. "It's okay, it's okay. Just treat this place as your own home. You can eat as much as you want."
Wen Shuang nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."
Ten minutes later...
Tan's mother nudged Tan Li's arm and said, "Xiao Shuang... she really has a good appetite."
That's right, except for Mr. Xuan, how can ordinary people afford it?
Tan Li nodded vaguely: "Yeah."
"It's okay!" Tan's mother's face brightened instantly. "Being able to eat is a blessing. Every time I see those girls eating a few bites to lose weight, I worry about their health problems. You must work hard to make money and don't let Xiaoshuang go hungry."
"How could that be?" Tan Li chuckled, thinking that President Xuan fed him like a pig every day, so he would never starve.
After dinner, Wen Shuang helped to wash the pot. Tan's mother didn't stop her. After coming out of the kitchen, she praised Tan Li with a beaming face and said that she was very satisfied with his girlfriend.
Tan Li: "..." Brother, stop acting. What if my mom insists on having you?
Tan's mother's mental state didn't stabilize for long. After chatting with them for a while, she began to feel dazed. Tan Li coaxed her to sleep and took care of everything at home before leaving with Wen Shuang. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "The doctor said that my mother's condition is intermittent. If I don't bring her a girlfriend home, she will keep nagging. After meeting her, she gives up and can stay alone and quiet for a long time."
"I hope it won't be a problem for daily life," Wen Shuang was a little worried.
"Auntie comes every day." Tan Li continued, "She just misses my dad too much and likes being in the virtual world."
The two got in the car, and Tan Li opened his phone as usual to check if there were any work issues. Unexpectedly, his agent sent a bunch of messages, and he almost didn't recognize the exclamation mark. When he finally figured out what it was, he immediately logged into Weibo. Wow, it was already ranked fifth on the hot search list. Fortunately, only the side profile of Wen Shuang was photographed. Ordinary people would never associate this "little girl" with Wen Shuang. Tan Li quickly asked the studio to clarify and said that they were just ordinary friends.
"I'll take you home," Tan Li said. "I have a banquet to attend after that, so please excuse me." As he spoke, his voice lowered and the car drove out of the intersection. The man's expression changed again. "Hey, Qingcheng, you know that restaurant's drinks and desserts are the best in City A. Are you interested?"
Wen Shuang suddenly realized, "Why do you still want me to be your female companion?"
"It doesn't matter whether you have a female companion or not. I'm just worried that you won't have enough to eat." Tan Li said with a smile, "If you have time, I'll take you out for a meal. You don't have to worry about anything, just eat. People in the business world are not as talkative as those in the entertainment industry."
Wen Shuang just happened to receive a message from Xuan Zhe saying that he had a show that night and would be home later. The little quail rubbed his belly and felt that there was just a little space left for dessert. "Okay, I'll just eat and keep quiet."
After wearing this women's clothing for a long time, I feel that it is nothing special and insignificant compared to food.
When the danger radar fails, no one can save you.
***
After Xuanzhe entered the venue, he had two drinks with his friends. During this time, he kept observing Tang Weisheng. The young man held his phone and looked at it for a long time. His expression was not ugly, but a kind of obscurity that was rarely seen on him.
"Didn't we say we were friends?" Xuanzhe leaned on the table beside Tang Weisheng, his tone light.
The two brothers rarely spoke so calmly. Because Xuanzhe took the initiative to approach them, many people cast slightly surprised looks at him. Tang Weisheng did not reject it, and knew what the other party was referring to, but he still said stubbornly: "It's none of my business." But his brows were full of unhappiness, and the screen of his mobile phone was also frozen on the clarification interface of Tan Li Studio.
"I don't know what you're upset about." Xuanzhe said solemnly, "I remember when I was a child at the old house, a fat guy stole your SpongeBob SquarePants doll, and you chased him two miles away and beat him up. Show me the courage you had back then."
Tang Weisheng didn't respond.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Jiang Suqing suddenly stepped forward quickly, his face full of excitement. Knowing that the relationship between Xuanzhe and Tang Weisheng had eased significantly, he did not shy away from saying that what he said next was also related to Tang Weisheng. "Tan Li is here, and he brought a woman with him. I stood by the window and saw her clearly. She has a nice figure. How should I put it..."
Tang Weisheng noticed Jiang Suqing's gaze and became extremely annoyed for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Beat him up!" Jiang Suqing didn't know how to beat around the bush: "He's pursuing you, isn't he? How dare he look for another woman?"
Tang Weisheng blurted out: "It's just that I'm lacking a female companion."
"There's no reason to bring others along." Xuanzhe's eyes were slightly cold.
As they were talking, Tan Li came in with a woman in a white dress.
Tan Li lowered her head and spoke to the other person with a smile on her face. The moment Tang Weisheng saw this, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He was thinking of the words Tan Li said that night when she sent him home, with her eyes firm under the moonlight: "I pursued you, that's my business. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I accept the result no matter what."
So, I've only been chasing for a few days.
"Fuck, she's really pretty." Jiang Suqing covered his mouth after saying that, but then frowned slightly and let out a hiss: "This girl looks a little familiar."
Xuanzhe initially thought the other person's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but as the distance got closer, he saw more and more clearly...
Even the sadness that was surging in Tang Weisheng's chest came to an abrupt end because of his keen awareness.
Jiang Suqing: "Hmm..."
Tang Weisheng: "That's clearly..."
Xuanzhe: “…”
Tan Li and Wen Shuang didn't look up, they were still talking in low voices.
Tan Li joked: "Do you think President Xuan will fall in love with you at first sight when he sees you like this?"
Wen Shuang retorted, "Do you think Tang Weisheng would be murderous if he saw you wandering around with a woman?"
"How is that possible?" Tan Li continued, "I actually hope he..."
He paused for a moment, and the whole person was stunned.
"Hmm." Wen Shuang noticed that Tan Li's pupils trembled, and he looked like a dead person for a moment. She followed his gaze and saw the bright lights above his head, which gave the three people opposite him the opportunity to see his face clearly.
"Am I hallucinating?" These few seconds seemed like a thousand years of frozen frost and snow. Wen Shuang's breathing had stopped, but she spoke with forced composure, "I seemed to see Xuan Zhe and Tang Weisheng."
"Oh, what a coincidence." Tan Li's tongue was a little twisted: "I have the same hallucination, maybe I'm too tired."
"I'm tired too, why don't we go back?"
Tan Li nodded solemnly: "Go back!"
The two men moved in unison, turning stiffly, and Jiang Suqing let out a shocking "Fuck!!!"
This is a signal.
Wen Shuang and Tan Li ran away. Xuan Zhe's eyes turned cold, and he was filled with some indescribable emotions, and he chased after them.
Tang Weisheng was no fool. He followed closely behind, pulling his phone out of his pocket and muttering, "I can finally turn things around!"
I'm going to take this photo today even if it means risking my life. I'm disgusted by smelling cream eight hundred times a day!! Damn!
