Chapter 66
Sharing a bed was not as strange as expected. Yu Wen was tired after a day and fell asleep with his head on the pillow. His biggest concern was the inexplicable pattern, and he didn't care about anything else.
But when he woke up the next day, he was in Xie Heyu's arms.
This was not surprising. After all, he knew that he slept poorly. Xie Heyu probably had been "attacked" by him in the middle of the night and had to hold him in her arms. Yu Wen found that his two hands were clasped together in front of his chest. Xie Heyu pinched his two wrist bones with one hand. When he moved, Xie Heyu would subconsciously exert force.
Well, he was punished badly after hitting someone.
Yu Wen squinted at the sunlight coming through the gap in the window curtains, woke up for a while, and then unconsciously rubbed his arm with his cheek.
It's quite comfortable to sleep with Xie Heyu hugged like this...
Xie Heyu's body temperature is against his back, the warmth is soothing. It's early autumn now, and the weather is still a bit hot and humid. In winter, it will probably be more comfortable to hug like this.
"... Good morning." Xie Heyu was woken up by his rubbing. Before she closed her eyes, she leaned against the back of his head and whispered, "Boyfriend..."
Hmm.
Yu Wen felt that Xie Heyu was obsessed with the word "boyfriend", like a kind of recognition of status. Before, when he occasionally called Xie Heyu boyfriend, a vivid and restrained joy would appear on the cool guy's face.
"Good morning, boyfriend."
Yu Wen couldn't move, couldn't turn around, could only lower his tone and repeat.
Xie Heyu finally woke up.
The hand holding Yu Wen's wrist loosened a little, Yu Wen broke free, turned around, and looked him in the eye.
Yu Wen woke up earlier, and was already sober, with bright eyes. Xie Heyu's eyes were still dazed, and it took a while for them to slowly focus.
When he saw Yu Wen, his first reaction was to laugh.
Yu Wen was puzzled, but Xie Heyu's laugh was very pleasant, that kind of low resonance seemed to spread from the chest, and fell on the ears magnetically and hoarsely, spreading like ripples, ringing in circles.
He also laughed, and the two looked at each other and laughed for a while. Yu Wen said, "Your sense of humor is very strange, boyfriend."
As expected, Xie Heyu raised his eyebrows and his smile deepened.
He said, "I'm happy to see you when I wake up."
The two got up and washed up. Yu Wen and Xie Heyu stood side by side in front of the mirror and brushed their teeth. The bright sunshine poured in from the French windows. The green plants in front of the window were full of vitality. The cups they used were of similar styles.
Inexplicably, there was a sense of déjà vu of an old couple.
But it was not until the next day that they confirmed their relationship.
After brushing his teeth, Xie Heyu said, "After a while, when your schedule is not so busy, I will move to a new place."
"Where to move?" Yu Wen said vaguely.
"Not far from the company dormitory."
Yu Wen said, "Then it's not far from here either. Since it's not far, why move?"
Xie Heyu looked at him in the mirror with a meaningful expression.
He said, "My dad is old and needs private space."
...Oh.
Yu Wen thought, uncle is really particular, such a big house, he insists on living alone, doesn't mind it being empty.
Xie Heyu went to the garage to drive first, Yu Wen dawdled for a while, and slowly went downstairs, just bumping into Xie Jialin who came back from his morning run.
He wore Xie Heyu's boyfriend windbreaker, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and staggered downstairs. When there were about four or five steps left, the sound of a door opening rang. He thought it was Xie Heyu, and said excitedly: "Teacher Xie, look, the sleeves are so long, I can only show the tips of my fingers when I stretch them straight..."
Xie Jialin stood in the entrance with a towel on his shoulders, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Their eyes met, and the silence dried.
Yu Wen's hand, which was playing with his sleeve, retracted in an instant. He pinched his palm nervously, his brain working at high speed, thinking about how to explain this moment.
"Ah--" He hadn't thought it through, but Xie Jialin spoke first, with a fake scream, groping the wall, his face solemn, "I don't know why, my eyes seem to be blind, I can't see anything, it's really a disaster from heaven..."
Yu Wen: "..."
He froze in place, watching the uncle groping forward step by step, touching in front of him, turning a corner accurately, bypassing him and entering the room.
Yu Wen immediately understood Xie Jialin's reaction, that the uncle must know that he stayed at his house last night.
He stood there like a wooden man for a while.
It doesn't matter. After a while, he comforted himself that it was just a social death, and no one would remember it after the explosion in S City.
Hahaha, why haven't you set off a fire in S City yet? Don't netizens want to set off a fire every day? Hahaha, why haven't you taken action yet...
Xie Heyu parked the car at the gate. When Yu Wen got in the car, he found that Teacher Yu had put on the hood of his sweater and a pair of sunglasses on his nose.
"Don't ask, if you ask, it means you are going the high-cold route. Drive, Xiao Xie." Yu Wen wore sunglasses and waved his hand with a special momentum, as if the emperor was here in person.
Xie Heyu didn't say anything, stared at him for a moment, and answered steadily: "I obey your order."
The carriage was quiet for a while.
After a long while, Yu Wen couldn't help it and asked: "Xiao Xie, did the uncle know that I was at home last night?"
Minister Xie had no guilt: "Yes."
The sunglasses slid down from his nose, and Yu Wen looked at him dimly, a little unhappy.
"Why didn't you tell me? When I just went out, I ran into the uncle and was like a fool, I didn't dare to move. If you had told me earlier, I could have greeted him in a friendly manner and thought of an excuse, and the situation wouldn't have been so embarrassing..."
As soon as Xie Heyu opened his mouth, Yu Wen said firmly: "You did it on purpose."
Xie Heyu: "..."
It's unfair, this time it's really unfair.
He said: "If I told you at that time, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep last night..."
With Yu Wen's thin skin, he must have wanted to run away at that time, and he wouldn't go home with him for a long time.
Yu Wen heard the hidden meaning in his words, pushed his sunglasses back to their original position, raised his chin slightly, and announced arrogantly and coldly: "You think too much, my face is thicker than the city wall now, I am no longer shy easily. I will not change my face even if Mount Tai collapses in front of me. This is my new life creed. There is a good saying on the Internet that as long as I don’t feel socially dead, others will be the ones who will be socially dead."
Xie Heyu: "Okay."
Yu Wen emphasized: "My face will be stinkier than yours, please adapt to my growth as soon as possible."
Xie Heyu: "... Yeah."
Yu Wen maintained his stinky face creed and spoke very little along the way. Occasionally, he fiddled with his sunglasses in front of the mirror, thinking that he was cool.
"Moon Harbor" officially started filming. Today is the opening ceremony. Fans from various companies gathered outside. As soon as Yu Wen got out of the car, he was drowned by the fans' voices. He subconsciously took off his sunglasses and laughed stupidly.
...The stinky face creed collapsed.
The survival time limit is one hour.
President Feng and Vice President Bian were also present, and it can be seen that Huiteng attaches great importance to this project. During the conversation, the two bosses invited several leading actors to attend a dinner together in the evening. It is said that there are many people in the circle at the dinner. The purpose is to expand personal connections and attract resources.
Director Miao was originally invited, but Director Miao was too lazy to attend social events, so he pushed the matter to them. If
this kind of occasion is used properly, it can bring quite good follow-up resources to the artist, so Yi Ming had just sat down and hadn't even taken a bite of his meal when he was dragged away by his agent to socialize.
Yu Wen sat at his seat, busy eating.
The lights at the dinner were dim, and he chose an inconspicuous seat, so no one noticed this place.
After a while, he looked at Xie Heyu who was busy picking Australian dragons next to him.
"Thank you, teacher."
Agents were allowed to attend the dinner, and Xie Heyu sat next to him.
Yu Wen doesn't like socializing, so it's normal for him to be sloppy...but why does his agent have the same style?
He's been assimilated by him after just one day of dating?
Yu Wen reminded, "Shouldn't we go and get in touch with the big guys?"
Xie Heyu chopped up an Australian lobster and put the meat into his bowl.
"Who is the big guy?"
Yu Wen: "I don't know, all of them."
Xie Heyu: "I don't know him."
Yu Wen: "Wow."
After saying wow, he was a little happy. Sure enough, this is the style of Starlight Media. This kind of salted fish-like agent is suitable for his temperament.
Feng Chengzhou noticed the two people in the corner, and after finishing the conversation, he walked straight over.
"Yu Wen." His tone was very natural. After all, they have cooperated many times and have communicated privately. Feng Chengzhou thinks that the two are friends.
Moreover, the previous few times when he and Chu Han had conflicts, it was Yu Wen who mediated. Last time Chu Han said that he liked "fishing", he endured for more than a month and almost couldn't bear it. It was Yu Wen who advised him in time and told him "If you bloom, the breeze will come."
It makes sense.
Since then, Chu Han not only pulled him off the blacklist, but occasionally he sent some peacemaking signals and spoke in a veiled way.
Beating is love, scolding is love, what a positive signal! It indicates that his love is about to turn around!
But Feng Chengzhou didn't come here for personal matters today.
He got rid of the social engagements, and as soon as he sat down, Yu Wen said: "Chu Han is filming recently, I don't know his movements."
Feng Chengzhou said: "Of course I know he is filming. I didn't ask that. Xi Su is in the same company as you. Have you seen him?"
Yu Wen: "...Ah?"
He didn't know Xi Su was coming at all.
Xie Heyu whispered, "We made the appointment temporarily. Xi Su was already on the invitation list, and we didn't have time to check the schedule."
Yu Wen: "Oh..."
Artists from the same company were attending the same banquet, so they should have been together, but Yu Wen was invited by Feng Chengzhou temporarily in the morning. It happened suddenly, and it was difficult to coordinate the time.
He seemed to be completely unaware of Xi Su's invitation. Feng Chengzhou's expression deepened, and he nodded and said, "It seems that your relationship with him is not as close as I thought. That's good. You don't have to worry about being caught in the middle."
Yu Wen: "Ah?"
This development was so confusing that Yu Wen could only utter some emotional monosyllables.
Even Xie Heyu stopped moving and frowned in the dim light.
"Today is the first time I meet him in public. If possible, I hope to talk to him before he shows up. If there are any requests, we can raise them in private. Don't tear each other apart in public. It's too ugly."
If he didn't say it, Yu Wen almost forgot that Xi Su was a illegitimate child.
After this incident broke out, the Huiteng Group has been indifferent. It just suppressed the trending searches and did not see any substantive measures against the "illegitimate child". Two or three months have passed, and even netizens have almost forgotten this relationship, but the rich circle seems to have not forgotten and has always paid attention to it.
At today's dinner, Feng Chengzhou just found out that Xi Su was among the invited guests. It's quite subtle. This kind of dinner mainly for decision-makers would actually invite a second-tier traffic with no works and no foundation.
These two half-brothers have never met in public before. It is likely that someone deliberately arranged this to create excitement.
"I gave him more than two months to make an offer, but he never contacted me. I guess I can't give him what he wants." Feng Chengzhou said solemnly, "This kind of determination shows that my brother is very cunning and should not be underestimated."
Yu Wen: "..."
Xie Heyu: "..."
"No matter what, these scandals cannot affect the company. I hope you can help me talk to him. If he can temporarily put aside his ambitions tonight, I can take a step back and let him make the offer."
Yu Wen held a piece of steak in his mouth, wanting to eat it, but couldn't. A blue-haired man shouting "back off, back off" appeared in his mind, and he remembered what Feng Chengzhou had just said, "He is very cunning and should not be underestimated." He really couldn't equate the two things.
He looked at Xie Heyu.
Xie Heyu was also shocked by this evaluation. After a long while, she said, "Have you... watched his live broadcast?"
"Yes." Feng Chengzhou's expression became more solemn. "This is exactly his brilliance. He presents himself as a simple person, which greatly reduces our vigilance against him. But think about the logic behind it. Since he let private detectives track me, how could he have no demands on the Feng family? He has been keeping silent for two months, which can only mean that he has a bigger conspiracy brewing."
Yu Wen swallowed the steak, drank a sip of water, and said seriously, "Is there a possibility... that he is just after money?"
Feng Chengzhou suddenly realized, "It turns out that he wants shares in the group."
...He doesn't have such a lofty ideal!
"You were not born into a wealthy family, so you don't understand these twists and turns." Feng Chengzhou loosened his tie and leaned back in his chair, revealing a tired look. "He is the most terrible person. I banned him once, causing him to terminate his contract with the company, but after that, he was able to interact with me in the live broadcast room without any scruples. The happy expression on his face at that time...even I was almost fooled."
Yu Wen began to recall.
That time...Xi Su seemed to have won a red envelope of 100,000 yuan.
It should not be fake, he was really happy.
"You are not in the circle, so you don't understand." Feng Chengzhou smiled faintly, "You should understand me, right? Master Xie."
Xie Heyu's expression was blank.
Last time, Feng Chengzhou felt familiar with the person, so he asked someone to investigate Starlight Media. He was shocked to find that behind this seemingly old and small company was the wealthy Xie family, which was full of experts.
He immediately respected Yu Wen. What kind of vision could he have to choose the one with the best background among all the brokerage companies?
Yu Wen, so scary.
Yu Wen slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Heyu, asking with his eyes: Do you understand?
Xie Heyu had just eaten a cherry tomato. Under the gaze of the two, he chewed it expressionlessly for a while before saying, "I don't mix in the circle."
Feng Chengzhou: "..."
Forget it.
As a representative of the Huiteng Group, Feng Chengzhou was busy with social events and had no time to say more. After getting Yu Wen's promise to help him make connections, he tidied his clothes and left in a hurry.
Yu Wen held his chin, puzzled.
"Aren't these two brothers so different..."
Xie Heyu said, "They grew up in completely different environments, so naturally they think differently."
Yu Wen nodded.
He lowered his head and sent a message to Xi Su, asking where he was.
Xi Su: [Huh? Are you also attending this dinner? You should have said so earlier. I thought you didn't have a companion, so I thought I would go later, otherwise it would be boring to be alone.]
Xi Su: [Wait for me. I heard that I couldn't eat enough at the dinner. I'll have some barbecue here at the roadside stall.]
Yu Wen said directly: [Hurry up, your brother wants to see you.
] Xi Su: [My brother? Who?] Yu
Wen: [Feng Chengzhou.]
Xi Su: [……]
After sending six messages, Xi Su stopped talking.
Yu Wen thought the signal was bad, so he sent a few more messages, asking him where the barbecue stall was.
More than ten minutes later, Xi Su replied: [Don't disturb me, I've already boarded the high-speed train back to my hometown. Goodbye, Yu Wen, and the entertainment industry.]
Yu Wen: [... Just a meeting, I'm not going to ban you.]
Xi Su: [I understand, he must be planning to root out the weeds. As soon as I show up, the sniper hiding in the dark will immediately aim at me. Just wait for his gesture, the bullet will be fired, and I will die.]
Yu Wen: [In a society ruled by law... who can snipe you!]
Xi Su: [They are all lawless lunatics! That's how it's played on TV!]
