Chapter 620 The Best Gift
The days are shorter in winter, and it was already dark outside when Gu Wei and Liu Yifei started eating.
"What would you like to drink?" Gu Wei asked after sitting down.
"And you?"
"I drink red wine."
“Then I’ll do this too.”
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"You don't drink all the drinks and juices you buy at the supermarket?"
"Save it for later. I bought it because I like it. I didn't say I have to drink it today."
Gu Wei nodded, it seemed to make sense.
When the chef came, he had already opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into the decanter. Now he just had to pour it for the two of them.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
The two sat on opposite sides of the dining table, raised their glasses at the same time, and celebrated the New Year 2018 together.
"I didn't expect that we would be together for the New Year this year." Liu Yifei took a sip of wine, put down the glass and said.
Gu Wei has already picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food.
"It's all about work. In our line of work, there are no holidays.
Um, but you seem to be different, you only shoot one or two movies every year, so you actually have more free time."
"It's okay, I just don't want to tire myself out.
The money I earn is enough to spend, so I can shoot some films I like when I have the chance, and spend the rest of my time reading books and raising cats, which is also very nice."
Liu Yifei picked up a piece of pork ribs and said while eating.
"Am I too unmotivated?"
"My attitude is quite Buddhist, but it's fine as long as I like it. I always believe that people should find the lifestyle that suits them best.
This method is not defined by others but by yourself.
As long as you find your own rhythm, you will be happy in both work and life."
"You're right, I always thought I was too lazy.
Now it seems that this is my rhythm!"
Liu Yifei was very happy after hearing what Gu Wei said. This was a perfect excuse for her to be lazy.
After saying that, he raised his glass and clinked it with Gu Wei again.
The two of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Before they knew it, a bottle of red wine was finished, and Gu Wei opened another bottle and poured it for the two of them.
"How does this wine taste?"
“Very good, but I have never seen the brand before”
Liu Yifei's face flushed after drinking half a bottle of red wine, but she was still very sober. She could drink quite a lot, although not as much as Gu Wei, but she was definitely one of the best among girls.
"Unicorn?
I’ve never seen this brand of wine before.”
"It's a small brand in Europe. It could be bought in the market there before, but now it's completely unavailable." Gu Wei shook the goblet in his hand, and the deep red wine swirled slowly inside.
"Why? Has it been discontinued?"
“I guess so. It’s not a halt to production, but a halt to external sales.
Last year, I went to Paris Fashion Week and visited the Bordeaux region, where I bought the estate that produces Unicorn red wine.
The estate is small, but the winemaking process is very good.
I don’t plan to sell the wine I brew in the future, so no one will be able to buy it.”
After saying that, he raised his cup and took a sip.
"If you like it, I'll send you a few boxes later."
"Okay, I can drink it myself when I'm resting at home."
"I didn't realize you were a female alcoholic?" Gu Wei would not drink alone unless he had any social engagements. According to Liu Yifei, she drank more frequently than he did.
“What kind of drunkard woman is that? She speaks so harshly.
I only drink it at home occasionally, and I won't get drunk. I mainly drink it to savor the flavor and get that feeling, and being slightly tipsy is fine," Liu Yifei justified herself.
“Haha, being a little tipsy is right.
I have a lot of friends who drink. People like Wu Jing are heavy drinkers. They always drink until they pass out.
A new friend I met on a variety show last year is very similar to you. He also likes to drink and wants to find something to drink wherever he goes, but he is always a little tipsy.
"Who is it?" Liu Yifei was a little curious.
"Zhang Ruoyun, you probably haven't come into contact with it."
"We've never worked together, but I have some impression of this person," Liu Yifei nodded.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the two of them had almost finished eating and it was already 8 o'clock.
Gu Wei turned on the TV in the living room, and the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dog had just begun.
The two of them cleaned up the table together, and Liu Yifei took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
"Can you do it?"
"It's just washing dishes, and you really think I'm a big shot who doesn't do anything."
Liu Yifei put on an apron and cleaning gloves, stood in front of the kitchen sink and began to scrub the dishes and plates one by one.
She really looks like a good wife and mother, but her slightly clumsy movements still reveal her true nature.
Gu Wei leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at her with a smile.
"I only live in this house for a few days a year. It's usually cleaned regularly by a housekeeping company, so I don't have a nanny.
You're the first woman to wash dishes in this room."
"I've thanked you, should I feel honored?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.
"Hey, that's not necessary.
You definitely don’t do these kinds of work at home, so I should be honored.”
"Okay, stop being poor.
Go wash some fruit, don't we have to watch the Spring Festival Gala later?"
"Okay~" Gu Wei agreed and was about to take action.
"By the way, there's more than half a bottle of red wine left from the meal we had. Should we finish it later?"
"Drink it, just treat it as a drink," Liu Yifei said without hesitation.
After a while, they both finished cleaning up and sat on the sofa in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala had just begun, and the skit "True or False Teacher" performed by Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, and Xu Juncong was playing on TV.
Although she was at Gu Wei's house, Liu Yifei was not at all restrained. She leaned on the sofa, watching TV and eating fruit.
Freshly washed grapes and strawberries were placed on the coffee table.
Gu Wei sat next to her, and the two of them took a sip of wine from time to time, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
The skit is over, and the next program is a song [Praise the New Era] sung by Li Yifeng, Jing Tian and Jiang Shuying.
"Why didn't you continue to perform on the Spring Festival Gala this year?"
"It's too tiring. The Spring Festival Gala is different from other galas. Once you take on this job, you have to rehearse over and over again.
I was already very busy, and I had performed on the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, so I didn’t really want to go this year, so I declined the director’s invitation.”
"The audience must be disappointed that you are not in this year's song and dance program."
"No, the world will continue to rotate without anyone. The King of Sketches has such a huge influence that everyone has gradually adapted to his departure from the Spring Festival Gala.
Besides, there are so many big stars on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year, it doesn’t matter if I’m missing.”
Gu Wei was right. This year's Spring Festival Gala stage was star-studded, with far more superstars and big names coming than in previous years.
There are top stars such as Zhou Jielun, Wang Fei, Cheng Long, Wu Jing, and Huang Bo, as well as new generations such as TFBOYS, Zhang Yixing, Li Yifeng, and Yang Yang, and powerful singers like Na Ying, Sun Nan, Tan Weiwei, and Lin Zhixuan.
Since Gu Wei is not coming this year, the director team has to find more stars to fill his vacancy, hoping to achieve good ratings.
After watching for a while, Liu Yifei felt it was boring, so Gu Wei suggested playing a game and he took out a set of playing cards.
"What can we play?"
"You can play the turtle-drawing game!"
As he spoke, Gu Wei took out an 8 and a joker from a deck of cards and put them aside, then shuffled the remaining cards.
Liu Yifei looked confused, and Gu Wei began to explain to her.
"I'll divide these cards into two parts. We'll each have one pile. You'll take out the cards of the same size in pairs. In the end, we'll both have some single cards left in our hands."
Gu Wei dealt the cards as he spoke, and then taught Liu Yifei to take out a pair of cards.
"Okay, now we can draw each other's cards in order. The same rules apply. If you draw a card that matches your hand, you take it away.
You have to draw with your back to the opponent and cannot look at the opponent's cards.
After all the pairs have been thrown out, whoever has the king and the eight in their hands is the 'turtle eight'!
The rules were very simple. Gu Wei explained and demonstrated them at the same time, and Liu Yifei understood them easily.
The two of them started playing "pulling turtles" for the first time.
This game basically relies on luck, but it also values psychological quality, because everyone wants the "king" and "8" in their hand to be taken away by others, so when others are choosing cards, their eyes will unconsciously follow.
Gu Wei didn't use any psychological tactics, he just played casually. At the end of the first game, he lost due to bad luck.
"I won, yeah, you're a cuckold!" Liu Yifei was obviously very happy that she could win the new game for the first time.
"Okay, I lost. I didn't expect you to be a master of the game," Gu Wei said with a smile, spreading his hands.
"Is there any punishment?"
"Can I drink?"
Liu Yifei thought about it, took out a tissue, tore off a small strip, blew on it and put it on Gu Wei's forehead.
"Not only do you have to drink, you also have to post this"
Gu Wei looked at the white paper hanging on his forehead and blew a breath.
"What if you lose later?"
"It's the same if I lose!"
"Okay, let's continue."
The lively Spring Festival Gala was still going on on TV, but the two people sitting on the sofa in the living room were not paying attention to it. Instead, they focused all their attention on the poker game.
After finishing the remaining half bottle of red wine, Gu Wei opened another bottle, and more and more small notes were stuck on their faces.
Another game ended, and Gu Wei stuck a small note on the other person's face.
Liu Yifei pulled aside the paper covering her mouth and took a sip of wine.
"Hahahaha!!!" Gu Wei laughed out loud at her appearance.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You look like a mop turned into a spirit!"
"You're talking about me, but you're almost the same!" After saying that, she also laughed.
Gu Wei looked up at the time.
"Okay, no more playing~" He started to pick the note off his face.
Liu Yifei burped and started picking it up too.
After they finished, they went to the bathroom to wash their faces, and the funny couple turned back into handsome men and beautiful women.
"I have a New Year's gift for you." Returning to the living room, Gu Wei said to Liu Yifei.
"What? Are you going to give me a red envelope?" Liu Yifei was a little confused. She had been with Gu Wei all day and was sure that he didn't have time to buy any gifts.
Gu Wei stood up and pulled Liu Yifei up as well. The two walked to the balcony outside the living room and stood side by side.
"Look what's that over there?" Through the huge glass windows, the beautiful night view of the Huangpu River is in full view.
"The Bund, what's going on?" Liu Yifei looked in the direction Gu Wei pointed.
She also has a house in Tomson Yipin, but it is on the 18th floor, not as high as Gu Wei's house.
She had had enough of Tomson Yipin’s first-line river view.
Gu Wei smiled and sent a message on his phone.
Then, in less than a minute, fireworks shot up into the sky in the direction he pointed, and then exploded at the highest point, like bright meteors streaking through the night sky, emitting dazzling light.
"Wow! The fireworks are so beautiful!" Liu Yifei was extremely surprised.
After the first firework exploded, one firework after another rose into the sky, like gorgeous flowers blooming in the night sky. The colorful fireworks and the stars set off each other, as if it were the most beautiful picture in the universe.
Liu Yifei never expected that Gu Wei could give him such a big surprise, and he also remembered her unintentional words in the supermarket.
The two of them looked at the beautiful fireworks in the distant sky, and no one spoke.
Liu Yifei held Gu Wei's arm and slowly leaned against him. The colorful fireworks filling the sky were reflected in her big eyes. She turned her head slightly to look at Gu Wei's handsome profile.
After a while, the fireworks ended and the night sky returned to silence.
Gu Wei turned around.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
"nice."
"Are you satisfied with this gift?"
"satisfy."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Yifei suddenly raised her foot and kissed Gu Wei.
Gu Wei didn't expect this to happen. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Liu Yifei's beautiful face with a blush.
“You are playing with fire.”
Liu Yifei blinked, said nothing, and just looked at him quietly.
Gu Wei has never been Liu Xiahui, and the atmosphere has already been set to this point.
He put his arm around the other's slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her.
This time it was not just the fleeting kiss that Liu Yifei had just given him, but a long kiss.
After a long time, their lips parted, and Liu Yifei gasped for breath, as if the long kiss just now had sucked away all her oxygen. Her eyes became more and more blurred as she looked at Gu Wei.
At this time, Gu Wei's hand slowly explored inside through the gap in the clothes.
"Don't," Liu Yifei sensed something and stopped him in a low voice. Gu Wei stopped immediately after hearing it.
"Don't go to the bedroom here."
The TV in the living room was blaring, but no one cared at this point.
The sounds of the Spring Festival Gala programs were intertwined with the sounds coming from the bedroom.
On New Year's Eve 2018, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei spent an unforgettable night together.
They all received the best New Year's gift
