Chapter 30 Chapter 30 It’s hard to hold back your subconscious…
Ming Le walked into the hall from the main entrance with his back bent. The boss was at home today, but he was probably still in the recording studio and had no time to take care of him. He would just sneak into the room later.
The housekeeper watched Mingle walk in like a thief and asked, "Young Master, what are you doing?"
Ming Le hissed and tugged at Butler Li's sleeve affectionately: "Uncle Li, you're on my side, right?"
Looking at the young master whom he had watched grow up, Butler Li really couldn't bear to tell the truth: it was his wife who paid him.
"Yes, young master."
Mingle felt relieved: "That's right, anyway, you just keep it a secret from mom and brother whenever they ask me about it."
Mingche came out of the elevator and heard this. He frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you planning to hide from me and Mom?"
His voice echoed through the hall.
Mingle's expression froze.
Butler Li's eyebrows jumped. "Master, Master, you two can chat. It's getting late, so I'm going to rest. I'm old and can't stand it anymore."
After he said that, he turned and left, his steps more vigorous than usual.
Ming Che plopped down on the sofa, his eyes scanning Ming Le with scrutiny: "You're home so late, what have you been doing?"
"Going to see that little actor you're supporting again?"
Ming Le felt extremely guilty, but he didn't show it at all: "No, I went to the movies with my classmates."
Surprisingly stable?
"Then why don't you ask the driver to pick you up?" Mingche was very suspicious, it was obvious that something was wrong.
"Because it was too late, I thought Brother Li had been busy all day and didn't want to bother him."
Ming Che snorted, "If I find out you're fooling around out there, watch out for your skin."
"That young actor better cut off contact with him immediately, otherwise I'll have someone investigate and expose all the dirty laundry he's been accusing me of, making sure he never makes a comeback in the entertainment industry."
When these harsh words came out, Mingle frowned slightly, feeling unhappy with his brother.
However, it is obviously unwise to go against the boss.
"Okay, I get it. I'm tired of him anyway."
Mingche showed a teachable smile: "That's right."
"Come here, tell me which model you want for the birthday cake at your coming-of-age ceremony. I'll have someone prepare it in advance." Mingche waved his hand as if he was calling a puppy.
Ming Le wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death as soon as he saw him.
Ming Che looked at several models sent by high-end cake shops, but he didn't think they were good enough. "You choose it yourself, but at least pick one that's three meters tall."
For Xiao Gui's 18th birthday, he postponed his retirement from the entertainment industry to the next two months, and his mother asked him to arrange everything.
The kid doesn't need to worry about other things. What he should think about is what cake to order, what gifts to ask for, and who to invite.
Mingle liked several cartoon patterns, but he was eighteen years old and an adult. There must be many relatives, friends and guests coming to Ming's house that day. What should he do if they laugh at him privately because he was too childish?
"This one, the one about the white European castle." Ming Le pointed to the dazzling selection of brochures in his brother's hand.
Mingche took a look and thought it was quite tasteful, so he didn't choose SpongeBob SquarePants for him, otherwise it would have been really difficult for him.
He closed the booklet and threw it on the table: "Do you have any classmates or friends you want to invite?"
Considering Mingle’s current situation at school, he thought it would be better to forget it.
"No need for that. The people who came to my coming-of-age ceremony are Ming's partners and those who want to cooperate. Our purpose is not to discuss business. In fact, I am not important."
When Mingche heard what he said, his expression turned serious: "Why do you say that?"
How can partners and business be as important as his brother?
"Okay, I was wrong." Mingle yawned sleepily, "Then I want a motorcycle. Buy it for me."
Mingche: So she was waiting for him here...
"It's too dangerous, I won't buy it."
Ming Le spread his hands. What else could he say? "I'm going upstairs to rest. I'm so sleepy."
Mingche: “…”
…
Lou Ye took an overnight flight back to the crew and filmed two consecutive night scenes without affecting the quality of the filming at all. His physical fitness earned a thumbs-up from the director.
He returned to the hotel at five in the morning last night and woke up after sleeping for four hours.
Geng Zhao brought back some food from outside and planned to put it aside for Lou Ye to eat after he woke up. However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Lou Ye washing up.
"Brother Lou, have you had a good rest?" Geng Zhao put down the food bags in his hands.
Lou Ye washed his face, and water droplets dripped from the ends of his hair. The hotel was well heated, so he didn't feel cold even in his bathrobe.
"Have you eaten?" Lou Ye rummaged through the bag of food and took out disposable chopsticks.
"Brother Lou, I've already eaten, don't worry about me." His workload was not as heavy as Lou Ye's, and he knew all the delicious food around the crew and the hotel.
Lou Ye opened a few food boxes and turned on his cell phone.
He was halfway through his meal when he thought of something and stopped. Today is Saturday, so it shouldn't disturb Lou Xi, right?
He decisively opened Lou Xi's WeChat, transferred five thousand yuan, and patted the other party's profile picture.
Lou Xi replied after a while.
[Brother, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly sending me a huge red envelope?!] He accepted it quickly.
Lou Ye tidied up the bags on the table and threw them into the trash can.
【Lou Ye: Let me ask you something.】
Lou Xi: "What's worth spending so much money on?"
Lou Ye unexpectedly hesitated for a few minutes before typing with difficulty.
How to chase someone?
He felt that his current attitude towards Mingle seemed to make Mingle feel uncomfortable. Was he moving too fast?
But when he saw Mingle, he found it hard to suppress his subconscious reaction.
Lou Xi: Ahhhhh, brother, I'm going to have a sister-in-law? Who is it?! Don't be impulsive. You're just famous. Dating means losing your job!!!
Although his brother is not young anymore, he really can't date now. What kind of fairy could have attracted such a straight man like his brother who is too picky and pretentious to be straight?
Ever since her brother's drama became a hit some time ago, all the classmates at school knew that she had a handsome brother who was a big star. They were all so envious. Moreover, after he became famous, the red envelopes Lou Ye gave her became bigger and bigger. She didn't want her brother's reputation to be ruined!
Lou Ye was so shocked by her word "sister-in-law" that he didn't know what to say for a moment, and his ears turned strangely red.
What nonsense.
[Lou Ye: Just tell me how to pursue her, or return the money to me?]
The car on the other side obviously stalled after a while.
【Lou Xi: Brother, do I like you? 】
Lou Ye thought about it.
【I like it.】
Lou Xi: ??? Bar! What does that mean?
[Lou Ye: I like it.]
Lou Xi: Okay, if the other person doesn't mind, it's simple. Just give them gifts and gold coins and they'll pursue you. My brother is so handsome, chasing someone is a piece of cake, right? Anyone would fall for your suit pants, okay?
Lou Xi flipped through her fresh math test paper; she had a perfect score. She crossed her legs, twirling her pen skillfully. Flattery was a breeze.
But what she said was true. She and her brother went to the same school for junior high and high school. Her brother was a senior from many years ago, and there are still legends about him in the high school department.
The drama starring her brother was broadcast some time ago, which was even more outrageous. Every day, countless girls asked her for her brother's autograph and contact information, and she was almost annoyed to death.
Fortunately, she didn't give in to anyone, not even her best friends or sisters.
Are you kidding? She is someone who is often blocked by her brother. Even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to give out her brother's contact information.
But because of this reason, when people treated me to food, I accepted a lot of snacks, and the girls would get angry if I didn't.
[Brother, tell me quietly, who is my sister-in-law? Is she from the entertainment industry? I just want to see what she looks like.]
Lou Ye received her message but did not reply.
His current relationship with Mingle cannot be made public. Mingle is a student, a boy, and his career is on the rise.
The topic of homosexuality in China is not as open as in other countries, and since I am a public figure now, it is even more sensitive.
Let’s talk about it later.
Lou Ye thought about the long-term, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the road ahead for him and Ming Le would be difficult. He was not sure whether the child could continue to like him.
Lou Xi kept sending voice messages, more than a dozen in a row. He replied irritably, "One more and I'll block you."
The phone went silent instantly.
"Brother Lou, is this the message your sister sent you?" Geng Zhao asked, sticking his head out from the living room.
Lou Ye: “Yeah.”
Geng Zhao felt it was noisy as soon as he heard the noisy sound coming from Lou Ye's phone. He didn't expect that the personality differences between the brother and sister could be so big despite having the same parents.
"Oh, then I'll go chat with Lele. Brother Lou, you can rest for another half an hour. We should leave for the crew soon."
Lou Ye: “?”
Mingle went to find Geng Zhao?
"What did he talk to you about?"
Geng Zhao saw his expression change and was a little confused: "I just want to ask if you have rushed back to the crew and whether you are busy."
Lou Ye's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Then why didn't he just come and ask me directly?"
How did Geng Zhao know this? "Well, maybe I'm afraid you're busy and I'll disturb you."
Lou Ye's heart was blocked for a moment: "Next time he contacts you, you don't have to reply him."
"Brother Lou, this isn't a good idea, is it? Besides, I'm quite happy that Young Master Ming came to find me." Geng Zhao said embarrassedly. Although he was an assistant, he also had his own life, which was beyond the control of the artist.
Lou Ye's face grew even darker.
Geng Zhao glanced at it quietly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and his mind became clear in an instant.
Damn it, what did he just refute? He was happy for Mingle to find him, but it was obvious that someone was not happy.
"Brother Lou, don't worry. Next time Lele comes to see me, I'll say I'm busy and let him ask you himself."
There aren't many assistants as understanding and considerate as him these days: "Le Le is free right now, I'll ask him to contact you directly!"
Lou Ye was silent.
Sure enough, not long after Geng Zhao sent the message, Lou Ye heard the sound of a video call and he answered it.
Mingle put the phone against his face to test the angle. His fair face filled most of the screen, and Lou Ye poked it with his finger.
Ming Le adjusted the angle and saw his movements: "Hey, I can't poke it~" His voice was a little hoarse. He was obviously fine when I sent him home last night.
Lou Ye: "Have you caught a cold?"
Mingle coughed twice again: "Yeah, but it doesn't matter, I've already taken the medicine."
Lou Ye blamed himself a little: "Did I wear too thin clothes yesterday and get cold outside?"
Ming Le held his cheeks and shook his head: "It's not because I went out to the movies with you. I often catch colds and have been in poor health since I was a child."
The temperature has dropped sharply recently and the cold air is hard to guard against, so he couldn't withstand it.
Lou Ye lowered his eyelids. He could guess that Ming Le’s health was probably not very good, so the Ming family took such good care of him.
"Have you taken your medicine?"
Mingle nodded, very obediently: "I just saw the family doctor and took some medicine. He said I should be fine after a good night's sleep. Don't worry."
Lou Ye was caught in the middle of something, and said stiffly, "No."
Ming Le looked at his awkward expression without saying anything. He could tell that Lou Ye cared about him and was worried, but he didn't point it out.
"Brother Louye, my birthday is coming soon. Will you be in Jing City then?"
He didn't want any gifts. He was happy just to see Lou Ye, which was happier than receiving any gifts.
Mingle's eyes were as hot and straightforward as a cute puppy's, able to burn people's hearts. Lou Ye avoided his gaze: "You want to see me on your birthday?"
"Of course." Ming Le said, Lou Ye is his idol.
Lou Ye looked at his rosy lips that kept opening and closing, and his pearly teeth that were barely visible, and felt a slight unease in his heart: "Then I'll try to come back with a gift."
Mingle is still very sensible. He said, "If it doesn't work out, forget it. After all, work is the most important thing."
"I'm your biggest career fan. You can't let other things affect your work."
Lou Ye smiled.
"You don't even know that I've watched all your dramas countless times. You should join the crew more often. It's hard for you, but you can't make us fans suffer, okay?"
Ming Le chattered incessantly, staring at Lou Ye in the video without blinking, but he realized something was wrong after just a dozen seconds.
Why did Lou Ye keep staring at him, with a smile that carried a feeling of helplessness and doting?
Is the tenderness in your eyes almost overflowing?
