Chapter 60 Sixtieth Melon Chooses Relatives
After washing up, Xu Qingye lay in bed. His cell phone lay quietly on the bedside table. Xu Qingye turned his head to look at the phone. The phone was so quiet that it seemed like it was broken. Xu Qingye even suspected that he had unpaid bills. He picked it up to check. The balance was sufficient and the battery was sufficient. It didn't ring because no one had sent him a message or called him.
Xu Qingye stared at his phone for a while and was about to turn over to sleep when the phone, which had been silent for a long time, finally vibrated. Xu Qingye immediately took the phone and looked at Shen Qingye's name popping up on the screen. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and slowly clicked on the message to read it.
Chen Que: This training is a closed training, you may not be able to use your phone. If you have anything, you can find Sister Wen. I will contact you as soon as I get my phone.
Xu Qingye looked at the message sent by Shen Que. His tone was no different from usual, and he didn't even include an emoticon.
"Huh, who wants to contact you?"
The more Xu Qingye thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw his phone aside and went to sleep.
Perhaps because what happened that day was too sudden, Xu Qingye did not sleep well. In his dream, Shen seemed like a different person, pressing him on the table and squeezing him flat and stretching him, while he was like meat on the chopping board, allowing him to be slaughtered.
Xu Qingye suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and touched his forehead, which was covered in sweat.
"No, he's sick!"
Xu Qingye suddenly lost his sleepiness. He simply got up, created a new blank document and began to analyze the reasons why Shen Que kissed him.
It can't be that terrible "I want you" of his, what kind of old-fashioned line is that!
Having hardly slept all night, Xu Qingye walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes. He had a simple meal and went out with his equipment.
The streets were already filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Xu Qingye stood on the street watching the people passing by, and suddenly felt a little lonely. He had been busy starting a business and being a paparazzi recently, and his life was filled with various things, so he didn't feel anything. But now that he had some free time, he suddenly felt empty.
Xu Qingye was just thinking about where to kill some time when the cell phone in his pocket rang.
"Brother Huang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xu Qingye shouted, and it sounded very lively on Brother Huang's end, with a bit of noise in the background.
"Can't I just look for you if there's nothing wrong? You're really heartless. I was thinking that Chinese New Year is almost here and you'll probably be alone, so I asked you to come over for dinner. Your sister-in-law is making dumplings. Come over later and I'll send you the address."
Brother Huang cursed under his breath. Someone on the other end of the phone was calling him. He responded vaguely twice and then spoke to Xu Qingye.
"Come quickly, I've already mixed the filling and am waiting for you to wrap it. Don't think you can eat it ready-made."
"Got it, I'll be right there."
Xu Qingye responded, and Brother Huang hung up the phone. He immediately received the location he sent on his mobile phone.
As far as he could remember, Xu Qingye had never been to Brother Huang's house, so out of courtesy he went there specially to buy some New Year's goods.
When he arrived at Brother Huang's house, he was greeted by a middle-aged woman who looked very kind. When she saw Xu Qingye, she smiled brightly, took his hand and walked in.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Xu Qingye greeted him, and the other person laughed even harder.
"I'm one year older than your mother. Calling me sister-in-law is too much of a generation difference. Just call me Aunt Lu. Huang Youcai, that shameless old man, is ashamed to ask you to call him brother every day."
Aunt Lu glared at Brother Huang who was not far away, and when she turned to look at Xu Qingye, her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Please sit down. I'll go make dumplings for you. Your mother is also very cruel. She can't bear to give up such a good child."
"Do you know Xu Hong?"
Xu Qingye was a little surprised. He thought that only Brother Huang was familiar with Xu Hong, but he didn't expect that his wife also knew him.
"They're from the same village. After she became a big star, she even donated money to the village. It's a pity that your grandparents were unlucky and passed away early. Otherwise, they could have lived a better life with you."
"Stop talking about those trivial things. No one wants to hear them." Brother Huang came over and pushed Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"The child is old enough to know these things. There's nothing to hide. I'm not making this up. When Xiao Ye was born, who was the one who forced the child into our house because they couldn't take care of her? If she can do these things, she shouldn't be afraid of people saying anything."
"Don't pay attention to him. He is just prejudiced against Xu Hong."
"I'm biased? How can you say that? Why are you still thinking about her after all these years?"
"Don't say that in front of the kids."
Brother Huang covered Aunt Lu's mouth with his hand and pulled her away. Xu Qingye smiled as he watched them bickering. The grievances of the previous generation were like a story to him, except that he accidentally became a character in the story.
Brother Huang has a daughter who is pretty and quiet. She works as a planner in an advertising company and doesn't look like Brother Huang at all.
When Huang Wanshu came back and saw a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Xu Qingye's face for a long time.
"What are you looking at? Don't like him. He is not suitable for you."
When Brother Huang saw his daughter staring at Xu Qingye, he immediately became alert. Although Xu Qingye had a good face, he didn't want this son-in-law.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. I just thought he looked a little familiar."
Huang Wanshu took out his cell phone and searched, and soon found the photos of the concert. He looked at the photos and then looked at Xu Qingye.
"This is you, right? The one next to you is Shen Que."
Huang Wanshu was a little excited. Although Xu Qingye was not a star, he was also an internet celebrity, not to mention that Chen Que recently won the Best Actor Award. The value of their photo was much higher.
Xu Qingye didn't expect that there was someone who knew him, and nodded vaguely.
"Are you still friends after Shen Que debuted? I heard that many people broke up with their former friends after their debut."
Huang Wanshu was a little curious. Chen Que had become extremely popular recently. After winning the Best Actor award, he had filmed several commercials that were all over the TV and the Internet. Many people in their company had become fans of Chen Que and were completely obsessed with him.
"Our relationship is the same as before. He's not that kind of person."
Xu Qingye sounded a little guilty. Could their relationship still be the same as before?
"Eat your meal and don't ask any questions."
"I know. I won't say anything nonsense."
Huang Wanshu made a face, lowered his head and quickly finished his meal.
After dinner, Brother Huang took Xu Qingye to sit in the living room and mysteriously handed him a USB drive.
"You can go back and figure out some of the data from Qingcheng Film and Television. But it's probably not going to be very useful. At most, they'll push someone out to take the blame, then use excuses like poor management. That's how all these big companies behave."
"You didn't let me check, so why did you check it yourself?"
Xu Qingye was holding the USB flash drive. Now he no longer had the impression that Brother Huang was the fat and shabby guy he used to be. He was now an elder worthy of respect.
"It's not that I don't allow you to check, I'm just worried that you'll waste your time in vain. But then I thought about it and realized that doing anything is actually a waste of time. If you're interested, go ahead and check it out."
"It's New Year's Day, and you said something so touching that I don't know what to say. How about I just recognize you as my godfather? There's a line in Shen Que's play that says family members are chosen by themselves, so can I choose you as my family member?"
Xu Qingye suddenly became serious. Since he came here, Brother Huang was the only one who truly helped and took care of him.
When he suddenly heard Xu Qingye's words, Brother Huang seemed a little flustered. He originally wanted to light a cigarette, but he almost lit the wrong cigarette with the lighter in his hand.
"Don't joke around, I can't be your godfather."
"Why can't I? You've been taking care of me for so many years. Besides, if you acknowledge me as your godfather, it's like having a godmother and a godsister. Then our family will be complete, and we'll have a place to go during the holidays."
Xu Qingye looked at Brother Huang's house. The house was not big but very warm and full of the flavor of home. It looked much more comfortable than his empty house.
"Just agree to it. The child has already said so. Why are you being so hypocritical? Besides, you always take care of him. It's not too much to be his godfather."
Brother Huang was hesitant and stammering, and Aunt Lu couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked over and patted Brother Huang on the shoulder.
"This is no small matter."
Brother Huang was a little hesitant. He wanted to ask Xu Hong, but he swallowed the words back. The mother and son were separated, and they should live their own lives and not disturb each other.
"It's not a big deal. There's no need to complicate things. It's just a matter of changing my words. Even if you disagree, this is what I think in my heart."
Xu Qingye was very serious. It was not just blood ties that maintained the emotions between people. He and Brother Huang had no relationship at all, but he had taken care of him for so many years. Even though the past twenty years were not the real him, his sincerity could be felt in this short time together.
"Okay, then we'll be a family from now on."
Brother Huang nodded, and was actually a little choked up. Looking at Xu Qingye's clear eyes, he couldn't help but recall the past. The first time he met Xu Qingye was in the hospital. Xu Hong gave birth alone with no one to take care of her. He waited outside the delivery room for a long time. When the nurse brought the baby out, he didn't dare to hold it. Looking at the tiny baby in the cradle, he never thought that the fate between them would be so deep, even deeper than that of the child's mother.
"Yes, yes, we are all family. Come often and I will make you some delicious food. By the way, do you have a boyfriend? You are so handsome, there must be many girls who like you."
Aunt Lu was even happier than Brother Huang. As she spoke, she reached out to touch Brother Huang's pocket.
"What are you doing, old lady?"
"Adopting a godson requires a red envelope, but I don't have any cash."
As Aunt Lu spoke, she took out two hundred yuan from Brother Huang's pocket, went into the inner room, put the money in a red envelope and came out again.
"Things happened suddenly and I wasn't prepared, so don't be disgusted."
Xu Qingye did not refuse. He took the red envelope and squeezed it. It was much thicker than two hundred yuan.
Aunt Lu brought up the topic of finding a partner again, and Xu Qingye was a little hesitant.
"Don't rush into love, I'll build my career first."
"That's fine. After all, we have to provide the other person with a good life security. Making money is also very important." Aunt Lu nodded and said nothing more. Xu Qingye and Brother Huang chatted until midnight before leaving. Brother Huang was happy and drank some more wine. In the end, he started talking nonsense again.
When he drank too much, he would cry and laugh, and he would always repeat, "Such a good son, I am lucky to have him."
Xu Qingye took a photo of the street scene tonight and posted it on his Moments.
Xu Qingye: Among the thousands of lights, there is also a light that is lit for me.
