On the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, He Xizhou arrived on time carrying large and small bags.
Ye Mingyuan already knew that Ye Ying's friend and teammate would be visiting today, but he was still surprised by the other party's lineup.
"You kid, why do you bring things when you come to play?" Ye Mingyuan couldn't help but blame him, but He Xizhou smiled generously and cheerfully: "It's the New Year, come to wish your uncle a happy new year. I heard from Ye Ying that you like to drink tea, so I brought some tea here, I hope you are used to it."
Although he said "I brought tea", Ye Mingyuan took a look at it inadvertently and found that it was an old brand tea cake with great collection value. It might be impossible to buy it in the market even if you have money. He was surprised.
Ye Mingyuan was not short of money or gifts, but this tea really appealed to his hobbies. Looking at the person who gave the gift, he was tall and handsome, well-mannered, with black hair combed upwards to reveal a refreshing forehead, and dressed casually but not casually. Although he worked in the entertainment industry, he did not have the slightest bit of the arrogance of a young celebrity. He was exactly the kind of energetic and positive young people that the elders in modern society liked the most.
Ye Ying also discovered that He Xizhou had actually taken off all the red earrings on his earlobes!
As expected, Ye Mingyuan's favorable impression of He Xizhou increased greatly, and his expression became much more relaxed. He gently asked He Xizhou to sit in the living room, and asked Ye Yi to boil water and make tea.
Ye Yi went there reluctantly, muttering "something's wrong" in a low voice.
This is so wrong! Is this how he behaves when he visits a friend's house? If you don't know, you might think he is the son-in-law who comes to visit for the first time!
This He guy definitely has bad intentions. Ye Yizhong's alarm bells were ringing, and he planned to observe carefully what this guy was up to. But when he boiled the water and turned around, he saw the man who had just complained about him standing behind him, calling him with a warm smile, "Brother."
Ye Yi: “…”
He almost turned into a Tyrannosaurus and shouted angrily: "Who the hell is your brother!!"
But he still used all his upbringing to restrain the impulse, and tried to force a fake smile: "What's the matter?"
He Xizhou handed over a box: "I brought you a pair of sneakers, see if you like them."
Ye Yizhong sneered disdainfully, "You want to bribe me with this little favor? Don't you see that I'm short of money?"
The next second, my eyes froze on the icon on the box. Wait, this seems to be the global limited edition that I have been trying to buy for a long time? ? ?
"I got a pair of these earlier thanks to a friend, but because of the nature of my job, I don't usually have the chance to wear them, so it would be a shame to leave them alone." He Xizhou said, "They're brand new, you can wear them."
Ye Yi resisted the urge to hold the shoe box in his arms, and shook his head and waved his hands with difficulty: "No, no, no, I'm so embarrassed..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" He Xizhou said naturally, stuffing the box into his arms, "Your brother is an old friend of mine, and he usually takes good care of me. Your brother is naturally my brother, so you're welcome."
Ye Yi was struggling, but in the end he couldn't resist the huge temptation, and said awkwardly: "...Thank you."
He Xizhou smiled with white teeth: "You're welcome."
Ye Ying took the opportunity to pull He Xizhou aside and whispered, "Forget about buying things, but why are you buying something so expensive?"
He Xizhou smiled: "This is your first time meeting your father and brother, you can't be rude. Just be happy."
Ye Ying moved her lips but said nothing.
"I just didn't bring you a gift." He Xizhou ruffled his hair, "I haven't decided what to give you yet, let me think about it."
"That's enough." Ye Ying glared at him in warning, "Stop spending money recklessly."
He Xizhou looked at it, and suddenly laughed as if he remembered something: "Well, don't spend money recklessly."
Ye Mingyuan called from the living room: "Come over and eat."
"I'm here, uncle!" He Xizhou immediately responded loudly and walked over with a smile on his face.
The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted for a while. Although He Xizhou was young, he had been in the circle since he was a teenager. He looked careless at ordinary times, but he was actually very thorough and had his own unique views on many things. Ye Mingyuan felt that this young man was very eloquent and could not help but admire him. He became more gentle to her: "Yingying is a little young and it's her first time to work. She may not have considered many things carefully. I would like to trouble you to take care of her more."
"Uncle, you are too polite." He Xizhou said immediately, "This is what I should do. I will never let Ye Ying suffer any injustice outside."
Ye Yi was sitting nearby and still felt that this conversation sounded very wrong, but his pair of sneakers were not far away, so he couldn't just take the things away and still argue with him. He could only try to keep smiling, and his expression looked a little distorted.
At noon, Ye Mingyuan asked Aunt Zhou to prepare a sumptuous meal, and the four of them had a meal at home. Because it was agreed in advance that Ye Ying would stay at the He family for a few days, the two prepared to leave after the meal.
"Dad, I'm leaving. I'll call you when I get to City B." Ye Ying said.
"Goodbye, uncle." He Xizhou smiled and waved at the door, "I'll come to see you next time."
"Okay. Take care of yourself outside!" Ye Mingyuan watched the two young men walk away side by side, feeling a lot more relieved.
Before, I always worried that Ye Ying was tired from working outside or was bullied, but now that I see such a good partner, I can finally let it go.
＿＿
From City S to City B and then to He Xizhou's home, it was already completely dark.
Although Ye Ying said He Xizhou, she actually prepared gifts for He's father and mother. Like Ye Mingyuan, He Pingqiu would definitely not lack anything, so Ye Ying carefully selected the gift after consulting He Xizhou. It might not be that expensive, but it was definitely useful.
Because of their son, He's parents had already paid attention to Ye Ying. Although it was their first meeting, they did not feel strange. Moreover, He Xizhou had not lied before. His parents really liked traditional good children with polite personality and good academic performance. He Xizhou was very naughty when he was a child. During his rebellious period, he was eccentric and did his own thing. Although it was true that he was "young and promising", his parents knew how irritating this brat was when he got angry, not to mention the experience of being invited to school by the teacher for a talk because he was at the bottom of the exam and had a fight.
Ye Mingyuan bought Ye Ying a new down jacket for the New Year. The color was very festive, bright red, with a circle of white fur on the hat. Too much red would make it look vulgar, but Ye Ying was good-looking and fair-skinned, and the red made her look like a fairy who had come down to earth. She looked handsome, pretty, and well-behaved. When He Pingqiu and Shi Fenglan saw it for the first time, they immediately liked it very much.
He Pingqiu's collection of four treasures of the study could fill up a storage room, but he was playing with the inkstone that Ye Ying had picked out, and he couldn't let it go. Shi Fenglan looked at the silk scarf that Ye Ying had picked out for her, and smiled gently: "Thank you, Xiaoying, I like this color very much."
Her son had bought her a lot of clothes and jewelry, but his unique taste, weird and twisted aesthetic vision made Shi Fenglan feel pain in her temples whenever she thought about it.
It was already late, but the couple was still waiting for their two children to come for dinner. The topics of conversation at the dinner table were very relaxed and the atmosphere was very happy. If you didn't know them, you might think this was their home.
After dinner, He Pingqiu pondered for a moment. Ye Ying asked, "Are you interested in making a movie?"
"Movies?"
"It's like this. A few days ago, a director friend of mine came to visit and showed me a new script that he was going to shoot. There was a very interesting character in it, and when I met you today, I somehow felt that you were very suitable for this role." He Pingqiu said.
Hearing the movie star say this, Ye Ying couldn't help but feel flattered, but she quickly calmed down after a moment of surprise. This was not a question of whether or not she was interested. She didn't have the ability to do it.
"Thank you, uncle. You think so highly of me." Ye Yingzhong was indeed very grateful, "But I don't know anything about filming. I have never been involved in this field before."
"It's okay. You're still young and have plenty of time to learn and try." He Pingqiu said gently, "And you don't have to feel any pressure. I'm not saying this because you're a friend of Xizhou, but because I really think you're suitable."
"I understand." Ye Ying smiled and said seriously, "But my ability is limited, and I don't want to disappoint your trust. Besides, I'm just a young artist who has just debuted. For now, I'd better do my job well. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will try to learn."
After hearing these words, He Pingqiu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Nowadays, being eager for quick success and instant benefits has become the norm. How many young actors have not received special training and dare to film without even knowing their lines well? How many idol stars obviously have no idea about acting, but they play roles that are completely unsuitable for them time and time again.
After all, fame and money are the most important. As for whether you are capable of doing the job, most people won't waste time thinking about it.
How many people were vying to be in Zhao Yi's movies, and how rare it was to get a recommendation from actor He, but this kid could refuse so straightforwardly, without even a trace of emotion in his eyes.
This kind of "sex" is really precious.
He Pingqiu nodded: "It's great that you are young and willing to do your job well and hone your business skills. I believe your group will achieve outstanding results in the future."
Ye Ying smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"However, Zhao Yi's film is just in its infancy. The preparation stage will take at least half a year, so there is no rush." He Pingqiu said, "If you have time during the casting, you can try it out. It's good to have some experience."
This was a professional disease. He couldn't bear to let such a good talent go. The main reason was that the boy was so smart. He Pingqiu had a very accurate intuition and felt that this child might have a surprising performance in the filming.
He Pingqiu had already said this, how could Ye Ying refuse? Besides, this was an honor for her: "Okay, I'll try. Thank you."
The two generations talked happily, and before they knew it, it was time to rest. Shi Fenglan said, "The room has been cleaned up. Let Xizhou take you there. Have a good sleep, and I will take you out to play tomorrow."
He Xizhou led Ye Ying to the guest bedroom and closed the door: "How is it?"
"The uncles and aunts are all very nice." Ye Ying said with a smile, "They feel very friendly."
"We are not usually so nice to each other," He Xizhou curled his lips, "I am nice to you because you are likable."
Ye Ying was already used to this habit of bragging about nothing. Just as she was about to go wash up, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh no, I forgot to bring my luggage!"
I was in such a hurry to leave home that I forgot about the suitcase!
"It's okay, call your brother and have him send it directly to Chunshan Xinbi." He Xizhou said, "We have new toiletries at home, just use them directly."
Ye Ying: "...Where are the clothes?"
"Clothes..." He Xizhou said in a long tone, with the corners of his mouth curled up quickly, "Just wear mine."
That's all I can do.
He Xizhou quickly brought the toiletries and pajamas to Ye Ying: "These are the pajamas I wore when I was at home before. They are all washed."
Handing over the folded laundry: "The underwear is inside. What? I've only worn it once."
Ye Ying: “…”
He Xizhou touched his nose and said, "I haven't been home for a long time. I searched everywhere but couldn't find a new one. Otherwise, I'll go out and buy you a new one."
How could Ye Ying not let him go on this trip in the middle of winter? She tried to say naturally, "It's okay. I'm going to take a shower."
"The hot water is already prepared, just put it in."
Ye Ying went to the bathroom to take a shower. He Xizhou didn't want to get up so early, so he sat on the bed and played with his phone. The video was quite interesting, but he just couldn't watch it. All he could hear was the sound of hot water. Just when his mind was about to wander, the sound of water stopped.
He Xizhou turned off the screen, looked up, and saw someone coming out of the bathroom.
Ye Ying's skin was white and rosy from the heat, like a peach that had been steamed to release juice, looking soft and sweet. Her black hair was half dried, and her bangs fell down softly, revealing a pair of moist, dark eyes.
He Xizhou realized that he hadn't seen Ye Ying like this for a long time.
Because the person Ye Ying lives with every night is... Li Jingfei.
Although I know it's unreasonable to think this way, I suddenly felt a deep sense of jealousy and regret. In addition, my whole body was hot, and even my throat was dry and uncomfortable.
Standing up, he made small talk: "Have you finished washing? Are the clothes suitable?"
"Not bad." Ye Ying touched the open collar, "It's a bit big, but it's quite warm."
He Xizhou looked away from the other person's collar, and was slow to realize that Ye Ying was wearing pajamas, including... yes, he felt a sense of restlessness on his body: "What, is it big inside?"
Ye Ying was startled for a moment, then stared: "Not big."
The corners of her lips and eyes were slightly red, and it was not appropriate to say "stare" when she looked at him like that, it seemed like she was being coquettish. He Xizhou felt that his eyes had stared out of his soul, and he said dizzily: "It's really not big?"
Ye Ying's face was hot, and she came over with her lips pursed and pushed him out: "I want to sleep, you go."
He Xizhou was pushed two steps forward obediently, and suddenly remembered something slowly: "I didn't take my phone."
The turn was so sudden that the distance between the two cheeks shrank abruptly. Ye Ying was startled and stepped back immediately. She didn't know whether it was because she moved too hastily or her slippers were slippery due to the water, but she suddenly lost her balance and fell backwards!
He Xizhou reflexively stretched out his arms to hug her waist, but he lost his balance and both of them fell onto the big bed.
Ye Ying's pajamas were lifted up during her movements, exposing her fair and soft waist to the air, and she seemed to shrink slightly due to the coolness. She put her palm on He Xizhou's chest, and her voice contained a barely perceptible panic: "Brother He——"
He Xizhou raised his head slightly, staring at the face so close to him without blinking, as if he was a little possessed.
Ye Ying pushed again, and after a long time she finally moved, but she did not get up. Instead, she moved her palm slightly and pinched the soft waist that was exposed under her body.
