Chapter 79
Because Xu Qingye was coming, Brother Huang's family started to get busy early in the morning, and Huang Wanshu was forced to help clean up. It was a rare day off for her and she didn't want to be enslaved like this at all.
"Go back to your room and clean up. It will be so embarrassing when Xiao Ye comes."
Huang Wanshu was wearing a set of furry pajamas, with messy hair and a haggard face, and she was slacking off at the side. Aunt Lu saw her listless look and snatched the food from her hands, and told her not to do it anymore.
"We're all family, Ono-san won't mind."
Since she didn't have to work, Huang Wanshu simply lay down on the sofa. She took out her mobile phone and checked the latest news. Recently, all the news was related to Qingcheng Film and Television. At first, she felt surprised and angry, but after reading it more, she became much more indifferent.
Last night's live broadcast ignited her anger again. She cursed online for half the night, so much so that she was still a little unconscious today.
"Old Huang, Xiaoye said he wanted to bring a friend. Could it be his girlfriend? Last time I asked him if he had a girlfriend, he was hesitant. I think he does."
While Aunt Lu was cleaning up the dishes, she couldn't help but glance at Brother Huang, who was stewing meat. He shook his head when he heard her words.
"He's online all the time. I think he spends twenty hours online out of twenty-four. How can he find a girlfriend?"
"You can also fall in love online. There are a lot of people looking for partners online now, right, Wanshu?"
Huang Wanshu was suddenly called. She turned around to look at her mother and shook her head helplessly.
"Mom, it's possible for others to fall in love online, but my brother Ye quarrels with people online every day, so it's highly unlikely that he will fall in love online."
Huang Wanshu didn’t pay much attention to Xu Qingye, but she understood marketing accounts.
"Is that so? What if there are people who like people with bad tempers?" Aunt Lu muttered. Huang Wanshu laughed exaggeratedly. Her mother's words were simply the final fantasy of a marketing account before her death.
“Ding Dong——”
Huang Wanshu was laughing when the doorbell rang. Aunt Lu asked her to open the door. Huang Wanshu got up reluctantly.
The door opened, and Huang Wanshu didn't know where to look for a moment. Xu Qingye and Shen Que were standing side by side outside the door. Both of them were wearing black windbreakers, which made them look particularly slender. Xu Qingye had rarely taken care of his hair, and he looked a lot more refined. Now he was standing at the door with a smile on his face, and the girl's heart suddenly started pounding.
Beside Xu Qingye, although Shen Que had a faint expression, his face alone was enough to attract attention.
Huang Wanshu felt that she had been a little presumptuous before. When the whole office was discussing Shen Que's beauty, she was actually very disdainful. At this moment, looking at the person at the door, Huang Wanshu felt that she needed to join her colleagues' star-chasing team.
"ah!"
Huang Wanshu suddenly came back to her senses from the male beauty, looked down at her furry pajamas, and rushed back to the room with a strange cry.
"What's wrong with this kid? Xiao Ye, come in quickly, this is your friend, he's so handsome."
Aunt Lu invited the two of them in. Brother Huang came out of the kitchen and was a little surprised to see Shen Que, but he still greeted him.
"Sit down for a while, you can eat soon."
"Okay, godfather, do you need help?" Xu Qingye nodded and was about to go into the kitchen when he was held down by Shen Que.
"If you don't know anything, don't make trouble. I'll go."
As Shen Que said this, he took off his coat and was about to go into the kitchen, but Aunt Lu quickly stopped him.
"Don't be so busy, it will be fine soon. Just sit down and watch TV. I don't know what's wrong with Wanshu, I'll go check on her."
The two of them sat on the sofa, feeling a little uncomfortable. Xu Qingye simply took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Shen Que.
Xu Qingye: It’s so boring. Do you want to watch TV? What do you want to watch? It seems like "A Summer Named After You" is being rebroadcast. Do you want to watch it together?
The phone in his pocket vibrated. After seeing the message, he looked at Xu Qingye suspiciously, but still took out the phone and replied.
Chen Que: I don't want to read it, it would be embarrassing. Why don't you just talk and send a message?
Xu Qingye glanced at Shen Que and continued to lower his head to press the phone.
Xu Qingye: I feel awkward talking, so I’d rather type. After all, I want to be a keyboard warrior!
Shen Que:···
The two people were sitting on the sofa, typing on their phones, and it seemed that they had an ordinary relationship. Aunt Lu looked at the two of them and wanted to say something, but when she saw them both lowered their heads and remained silent, she stopped talking.
After Huang Wanshu finished tidying up, she came out and was pulled aside by Aunt Lu again.
"Do you know Xiao Ye's friend? He looks familiar to me. I wonder if they have a bad relationship. He came in without saying a word and just held his phone, wondering what he was doing."
Huang Wanshu glanced in the direction of the two of them, and happened to see Xu Qingye looking sideways at Shen Que with a smile on his face. Shen Que also glanced at him, and he smiled as well, not knowing what interesting thing had happened. Huang Wanshu looked at them, and felt that something pink was constantly coming out.
"How can they have a bad relationship if they can stay together during Chinese New Year? His friend is the actor who played Gu Li. Haven't you been watching him every night recently?"
Huang Wanshu wanted to scream in her heart. She felt like she had discovered something incredible.
"Ah! He has lost a lot of weight and is a little darker. I didn't recognize him." Aunt Lu realized it later. She recognized him after Huang Wanshu mentioned it.
"I'm preparing for a new role. Okay, I'm not going to say anything anymore. I'm going to go chat with my Ono-nii brother."
Huang Wanshu and Aunt Lu waved their hands and then trotted to the sofa.
"Hello, Chen Que. My name is Huang Wanshu. Can we take a photo together? I'm your fan."
"That's not what you said last time."
Xu Qingye looked up with a complicated expression. Why did Huang Wanshu interrupt him when he was talking?
"Last time I was too arrogant and didn't know how to appreciate you. I've changed my ways now, okay? When I saw you in person, I was instantly moved."
Huang Wanshu glared at Xu Qingye. Is he still a good brother? Why did he expose her?
"Then come sit in the middle and we'll take a photo together."
Xu Qingye moved to the side and let Huang Wanshu sit down. Huang Wanshu felt a little embarrassed, but still sat down excitedly.
Chen Que had the longest hands, so Xu Qingye asked Chen Que to hold the phone. Chen Que cooperated and took two pictures. Huang Wanshu excitedly took back the phone and looked at it. Suddenly, he felt that he shouldn't sit here. It wasn't that the pictures were not good-looking, but he felt a little redundant from the atmosphere.
"Come to eat."
Brother Huang called out, and several people responded and sat down at the dining table.
Brother Huang is a very good cook. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are all delicious and fragrant.
"It's Xiao Shen, right? How long have you and Xiao Ye known each other?"
While eating, Huang Ge suddenly looked at Chen Que. Chen Que became famous very quickly after his debut. Many people in the circle were paying attention to him. Huang Ge naturally knew a little about him.
He hadn't paid much attention to Xu Qingye's private life before, and he only vaguely knew that there was such a person as Shen Que.
"It's been more than a year, and I'm grateful for his care during this period." Shen Que glanced at Xu Qingye. He always felt that they had been together for a long time, but suddenly realized that it was actually quite short.
"That's great. It's rare that he can make a friend."
Brother Huang nodded and poured himself a glass of wine, and Xu Qingye also poured himself a glass.
"Godfather, let me toast you a glass. Thank you for taking care of me during this period."
Xu Qingye picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Shen Que wanted to stop him but failed.
"It's okay, I can drink quite well."
Xu Qingye patted the back of Chen Que's hand to reassure him. Chen Que looked at him with a complicated expression. It seemed that he had forgotten about the last time he drank too much and vomited.
"Okay, a man should drink so heartily." Brother Huang was very happy. Finally, there was someone at home to drink with him. The two of them drank several more glasses. As they drank too much, they talked more. It was mainly Brother Huang and Xu Qingye who were talking. Shen Que had been staring at Xu Qingye to prevent him from getting drunk, but he found that he could not stop him at all.
In the end, Xu Qingye drank too much and sat motionless on the sofa after dinner. Brother Huang was still quite sober.
"Can we talk?"
Shen Que was feeding Xu Qingye water. Brother Huang patted his shoulder. Shen Que nodded and carefully held Xu Qingye's face and let him lean on the sofa.
Walking onto the balcony, Brother Huang lit a cigarette and handed the cigarette box to Chen Que. Chen Que shook his head to indicate that he didn't smoke.
Brother Huang took a puff and blew out a smoke ring. He was a little drunk from drinking some wine, but he was still sober.
"Originally, these things shouldn't be my business, but now no one cares about him, so I have to step over the line." Brother Huang looked at Shen Que. If he was just an ordinary friend, he would really like him. He was handsome, had a good temper, and his career development was very stable. It looked like he would soon become famous.
But if it was a closer relationship, Brother Huang would be a little worried.
"You and Xiao Ye are more than just friends, right? If they were just friends, he wouldn't have brought you here. He looks sunny and cheerful, but he's actually very worried, especially this year. He used to be a bit heartless, but I don't know what happened this year. He said he fell and hurt his head, and he's become even more worried. It's like he's grown a shell that's wrapped tightly around his heart."
Brother Huang sighed. Xu Hong was fully responsible for Xu Qingye's behavior. He thought about it for a long time. It was probably after Xu Hong officially announced her marriage that Xu Qingye became weird. Perhaps it was because he had confirmed time and again that he was an unloved child. Seeing Xu Hong preparing to give birth to a new life with great anticipation, the last bit of expectation disappeared, and he became more and more closed.
"Well, we are in a relationship, but we are still in the internship period."
Shen Que nodded. Brother Huang was smoking when he suddenly choked. He frowned and looked at Shen Que.
"What do you mean? You're in a relationship and you're doing an internship. What's so superior about you? Are you planning to just date her first and then dump Xiao Ye once she becomes popular?"
Brother Huang was a little annoyed. Young people nowadays are really unreliable. Someone like Shen Que, who has a pretty face, is especially bad!
“I’m still in the internship period.”
Chen Que coughed lightly and corrected Huang Ge's words. Huang Ge got stuck in the middle of his scolding. He looked back at Xu Qingye who was sleeping like a caterpillar on the sofa, and then looked back at Chen Que who was standing beside him, looking as handsome as a picture in the night.
"Ahem, ahem, feelings are your private matter, so I won't say much. Anyway, don't make him sad. He keeps everything in his heart and can only express a little. If he says he likes you very much, it must be 100%. He's just afraid that saying it would scare you. Try to be more tolerant and don't lie to him or hide anything from him."
When it was his own child's turn, Brother Huang couldn't help but be partial to him. He couldn't say anything to blame him. He could only attribute it to Xu Qingye being too cautious.
"I understand."
"Hey, this kid can't drink much and he's drunk. Can you take care of him?"
"He was in a good mood today. That's why he got drunk. He's not like that usually. I'll take good care of him and have the driver pick him up later."
Shen Que said this, and Huang Ge nodded without saying anything. He asked Shen Que to go in first and he wanted to finish smoking his cigarette.
Shen Que returned to the house to take care of Xu Qingye, and Huang Wanshu approached Huang Ge.
"Dad, what did you and Shen Que talk about? Can you tell me?"
"Don't ask too much, and don't tell anyone about what happened today."
"I understand, but Shen Que came to my house. It felt like a dream."
Huang Wanshu held her face excitedly. Brother Huang looked at her, shook his head, put out his cigarette and went back into the house.
On the way back, Xu Qingye slept very soundly. He looked well-behaved after drinking too much. Shen Que picked him up horizontally. Maybe he was blown by the cold wind when he got out of the car, and he woke up as soon as he arrived at his home.
