Early the next morning, Yu Qinghuan went to the set. He didn't have any scenes today, but ever since that trip to the Grand Theater, he had developed the habit of watching others perform.
Liu Jiaan was surprised at first. How could a young man in his early twenties be so self-controlled when he had nothing to film? He should be playing games or sleeping in a hotel until sunset.
But as Yu Qinghuan reported to the set on time regardless of rain or shine, Liu Jiaan got used to it.
When he saw Yu Qinghuan, he took out the cigarette from his mouth, smiled and greeted her, "Qinghuan is here."
"Good morning, Director Liu," Yu Qinghuan sat down next to Liu Jiaan and watched the images on the monitor with him.
Liu Jiaan couldn't help but sigh: "Your lifestyle is really different from other young people."
Yu Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
"I find that hiring you is quite worthwhile," Liu Jiaan suddenly said. Seeing Yu Qinghuan looking at him in astonishment, he smiled and explained, "I originally thought you were a newcomer who was willing to work hard, and the price was cheap. I didn't expect that you are really suitable for this job. Not to mention your acting skills, your natural popularity can also help me save some publicity costs."
Liu Jiaan has a habit of watching programs produced by the national TV station.
Although the national TV station has been criticized in recent years, with a large number of hosts leaving and programs becoming less and less innovative, Liu Jiaan has always scoffed at such remarks.
Most of the programs on the national TV station are serious, and there are very few entertainment programs. But every time it comes out, it is bound to be a masterpiece.
Not to mention those grand and exquisite documentaries, just take the variety show "Young Should Be High" that was just released this year. Both its meaning and content are very exciting, and it simply makes other eye-catching variety shows pale into the ground.
This proves that no matter how many years have passed, your father is still your father.
Last night, Liu Jiaan put aside his work and waited in front of the TV for the second episode of "Be Young and High". Unexpectedly, he saw Yu Qinghuan in it.
It is not easy to show up in such a popular variety show, even as a passerby, not to mention that Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu provided so many explosive points.
"What do you mean by a naturally hot physique?" Yu Qinghuan had long forgotten about the street interview. When he heard Liu Jiaan's words, he was a little confused for a moment.
"Hey?" Liu Jia'an took out his phone. "Don't you know? You and Huo Qu were very popular on Weibo yesterday."
What? Yu Qinghuan leaned over to take a look, and suddenly his vision went dark.
What's going on? Wasn't his good fortune slowly fading away? Even if this variety show is very popular, they were just passers-by who appeared on the screen for a few seconds. How could they be discussed on such a large scale!
etc? This person said that she met Huo Qu at the airport in the United States?
Yu Qinghuan enlarged the photo on Weibo, looked at it carefully for a while, and confirmed that it was indeed Huo Qu.
But this doesn’t seem right. Huo Qu clearly said that he would stay in the United States for a week. Could something have happened? And looking at the photo, Huo Qu was all alone.
Thinking of Huo Qu going to the airport alone, Yu Qinghuan was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly asked Liu Jiaan to help him contact Huo Rong and ask what was going on.
Liu Jiaan knew Yu Qinghuan's character and had seen him and Huo Qu on a variety show, so he had no doubt that he had ulterior motives and readily helped him call Huo Rong.
At this time, the Huo family was in a state of panic. Huo Rong sat on the sofa with an unshaven beard, his eyes red and his voice hoarse, "I was just joking, brother. I really didn't expect him to come back on his own."
Huo Rong was filled with remorse and wished he could stab himself. If anything happens to my little brother this time, he will never forgive himself in his life.
Huo Zheng's face was icy cold, and his knife-like eyes were fixed on Huo Rong. "After so many years, I thought you had grown up."
"Brother!" Huo Rong slammed his fist on the coffee table, his voice trembling, "I really didn't mean it. I'm already old enough, how could I possibly tease my little brother again..."
"That's better." Huo Zheng withdrew his gaze from him, "Adjust your expression, do everything normal at home, don't let my parents know, and take people to the airport immediately."
Although something went wrong on my side, things haven't reached the worst point yet. At least he got on the plane back home correctly. Not only could they not blame the little girl Cheng Ya, but they should thank her instead.
Otherwise, with my character of never giving up until I achieve my goal, I don’t know where I would end up.
"I'll go right away." Huo Rong responded, and just as he was about to go out, the phone rang.
When he heard that it was Yu Qinghuan, he did not hold back and told her everything in detail while driving.
On the second floor of the Huo family's house, the sound of a sports car's engine was heard getting farther and farther away. Mrs. Huo lay on her side on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
They were all flesh that fell from her body, how could she not notice that something was wrong with them? But the children were kind-hearted and didn't want her to worry after knowing about this, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened.
"Don't cry." Father Huo walked over and wiped his wife's tears. His hands were rough, but his voice was gentle. "You're almost a grandmother, and you cry over little things. That's not okay. San'er will be fine. Didn't they say he's already boarded the plane? Are you afraid that your son will be lost on the plane?"
"Puh, puh, puh!" Madam Huo pouted a few times with a fierce expression, "You are the one who got lost! How can you be a father like you?" She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, "If you hadn't said that the people traveling with you were all older people who could take good care of San'er, and if you hadn't asked him to bring bodyguards, would this have happened?"
Looking at his aggressive wife, Father Huo sighed helplessly, "Miaomiao, San'er is almost thirty years old, you can't always treat him as a child. He is much better now than before, he has someone he cares about and is willing to get in touch with the outside world. How can you always restrict him? Have you ever thought about what will happen to San'er if we continue like this when we are old and gone?"
Mrs. Huo had actually been persuaded by her husband, but she still insisted, "So what? He has two older brothers!"
"Huo Zheng and Huo Rong will both get married and have their own wives and children. How could they focus all their attention on San'er like we do?"
Mrs. Huo pursed her lips but did not refute.
"That's enough." Father Huo patted Mrs. Huo on the back and grumbled, "Let's just pretend we know nothing and let the children handle everything. Didn't you say the other day that the weather was too cold? I've found a few warm countries. See where you want to go. It's just the two of us..."
When Yu Qinghuan arrived at the airport, he happened to meet Huo Rong at the door.
"I checked the flight's landing time, it's almost here." Without time to exchange pleasantries, Yu Qinghuan glanced at the people behind Huo Rong and got straight to the point, "His flight's exit is at Building A. I'm in front. There are a lot of you, so spread out a bit and wait behind. You shouldn't miss Huo Qu."
"Okay." Huo Rong had no objection to his arrangement. He nodded and did as he was instructed.
"Also," Yu Qinghuan took a few breaths and continued, "Let's exchange contact information first. If there is any situation over there, notify me immediately. Similarly, I will tell you immediately."
"good."
Everything is arranged, just waiting for Huo Qu to show up.
Yu Qinghuan stood anxiously at the airport entrance, staring at the crowd without blinking, feeling extremely complicated.
He never thought that Huo Qu would go this far for him.
A person who couldn't even cross the street ran back from abroad without saying a word just because he heard that he was bullied, and even gave up an academic exchange conference.
What was he thinking at that moment? Was he afraid when he was standing alone at the airport, at a loss?
How did he overcome this instinctive fear of a friend he had only known for a short time?
Yu Qinghuan couldn't guess anything.
He knew that Huo Qu's behavior was a nuisance to his fellow scientists and the Huo family, but he was really happy.
He had never experienced that feeling of being valued and cared for without principles since his parents passed away.
Yu Qinghuan's eyes were sore, and he thought that he had to do something for Huo Qu. The giving between friends is never one-sided, and he cannot just sit back and enjoy Huo Qu's selfless giving with a clear conscience.
He blew a breath into his palm, and when he looked up again, Yu Qinghuan's eyes suddenly fixed on a certain place——
Among the crowd of people hurrying along dragging their suitcases, Huo Qu, standing tall like a young poplar, stood out. He pursed his lips tightly, holding his small notebook in his hand, and raised his arm as if he wanted to take a look at the contents of the notebook, but he was suddenly bumped hard by the person behind him, and the notebook immediately fell to the ground.
Before he could pick it up, it was stepped on by the people who caught up with him.
He stared at the ground blankly, looking at a loss, like a deer that had accidentally wandered into a big city.
Yu Qinghuan felt a pain in his chest, and before his brain could react, his body had already rushed out, "Huo Qu!"
A familiar voice reached his ears, and Huo Qu's eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze accurately fixed on Yu Qinghuan, "Qinghuan! Qinghuan!" His joy was beyond words.
"Why did you come back so suddenly?" Although she felt sorry for him, Yu Qinghuan's words were still merciless. "Do you know how much trouble you have caused others? What about your academic exchange conference? How can you just not attend such an important meeting?"
Seeing Huo Qu becoming more and more depressed after being scolded by him, and finally burying his head in his chest, Yu Qinghuan felt that the emotions that had been pent up in his heart were finally released.
That’s great, this person came back safely, nothing happened, and nothing was lost.
"Qing Huan," Huo Qu looked at him timidly, "Are you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry! Don't you consider the consequences of your actions? Huo Qu, you are an adult, not a child. You can't be so willful. You have to have a sense of responsibility."
"But..." Huo Qu tugged at the corner of his clothes anxiously, "There are other representatives of our country besides me."
Yu Qinghuan's breath hitched, and she instantly understood what he meant.
Without Huo Qu, academic exchanges could still be replaced by others, but there was no one else around him except him.
Yu Qinghuan remained silent, and Huo Qu became more and more uneasy. He glanced at him secretly again and again, and finally, he suddenly reached out his hand and hugged him with trembling hands.
"Qing Huan, I... I was wrong, please don't be angry with me." After a pause, she buried her head in his neck and said her purpose in a muffled but firm voice, "Qing Huan, don't be afraid, I'm back, I'll help anyone who bullies you."
Huo Qu was a little taller than Yu Qinghuan. His desperate attempt to stuff Yu Qinghuan into his arms made him look like an old hen spreading its wings, which was quite ridiculous.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't laugh, his heart felt sore and swollen, and he could hardly hold back his surging emotions. After finally calming down a little, he opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly felt his neck wet and a cool liquid sliding down his skin.
"Why are you crying? You got into trouble and now you feel scared?"
"No."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I don't know, I just...it makes me sad to think you're sad."
