Ye Fei straightened his collar and snorted, "Is this Mr. Yan's newest way of greeting?"
Yan Xiao didn't answer, his back was straight, as if he was very righteous, but he didn't look Ye Fei in the eye.
Ye Fei wanted to say something when Gu Ruijia dragged over a chair. He asked the young man next to him to sit a little closer, and made room for one person in the already tight space. He called out to Yan Xiao, "Brother Xiao, sit down and talk."
Then he introduced him to the young handsome guys: "This is the one from your Mr. Ye's family, you can just call him Mr. Yan." But he did not mention Yan Xiao's identity.
Although Gu Ruijia has a carefree personality, he is in the film and television industry after all, and has seen a lot of different things. As soon as the name of Feixiao Technology was put forward, even though Yan Xiao was in his seventies or eighties, there were still many people rushing to him.
What's more, Yan Xiao is not only young, but also has such a face, so we must be more careful.
Yan Xiao never accepts public interviews, and there are very few photos of him on the Internet, most of which are from his early years, so the young actors did not recognize him.
But since the boss said his name is Mr. Yan, he must run a company.
After their identity is confirmed, they know they are the ones to respect!
They all stood up and greeted each other.
Yan Xiao nodded in agreement and was about to sit down. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei suddenly stretched out a leg from the side and placed it across the chair.
He had been annoyed with Yan Xiao for a whole day and night, and the culprit had just made him lose face in front of so many people. With new and old grudges added together, Ye Fei simply couldn't bear it anymore.
He raised his face and smiled provocatively: "There is no room here."
Gu Ruijia's heart trembled, fearing that a family war was about to break out. He looked at Ye Fei with a headache, indicating that he should go home and talk about it if he had anything to say. Unfortunately, Ye Fei didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Yan Xiao didn't move, nor did he get angry because Ye Fei didn't give him face. Just stand there and look at him quietly. It seemed that among so many people at the table, he could only see Ye Fei. It also seemed that he could tolerate whatever Ye Fei did.
Being stared at by Yan Xiao with such a focused and quiet gaze, Ye Fei's entanglement and anger disappeared in an instant, just like water vapor under the scorching sun.
I can't be angry anymore, and I can't get angry at all. He sighed and pulled his legs back: "Why are you here?"
Yan Xiao sat upright on the chair before answering, "I saw Gu Ruijia's circle of friends."
Ye Fei suddenly realized and smiled: "Are you tempted?"
He picked up his phone and looked at the photo, feeling that it was just so-so. Perhaps it was because Yan Xiao seldom ate barbecued food that he was tempted.
Yan Xiao said "no", but when Ye Fei asked again, he refused to say anything.
Just then the waiter came over with some crayfish and the topic was diverted.
These young guys have good personalities, are lively and playful. After having meals with Ye Fei for such a long time, I knew that he was not a pretentious person, so I relaxed a lot. He insisted that crayfish must be paired with beer and asked the waiter for a dozen.
There was one person who was particularly discerning. Seeing that there was only an empty glass in front of Yan Xiao, he came over with a bottle of wine to pour him some wine.
"He doesn't drink," Ye Fei blocked Yan Xiao's drink and chuckled at the young man, "You guys drink, don't worry about us. After dinner, find a place you want to go and put it all on my account."
The young man smiled and showed his big white teeth: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Fei raised her glass to him, then turned to look at Yan Xiao who hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, and said curiously, "Try it, the skewers here taste pretty good."
Yan Xiao never eats outside of regular meals, but it’s different when the person who opens the mouth is Ye Fei.
He picked up a piece of grilled beef tongue, lowered his eyes to look at it for a moment, and then put it in his mouth.
"How is it?" Ye Fei asked.
Yan Xiao said "OK", but did not take the second bite.
Seeing this, Ye Fei thought that it was not to his liking, so she stopped trying to persuade him and continued to struggle with the crayfish in front of her.
Ye Fei actually likes this kind of shelled things very much, but he is born with clumsy hands and loves beauty. I didn’t want others to see me clumsily peeling shrimps, so I ate two and moved on to other plates.
But his eyes occasionally glanced at the crayfish, with a desire and greed that could not be ignored.
Yan Xiao noticed it and pushed the plate towards him.
"I don't want to eat it anymore," Ye Fei shook his head, took the beef off the skewer, dipped it in some barbecue sauce, and smiled, "It's troublesome."
Yan Xiao stared at the plate of red crayfish, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly took off his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Ye Fei thought he wanted to eat again, so she glanced at him and ignored him until a piece of shrimp meat with pits on it was put into his bowl.
"What...are you doing?" He stared at Yan Xiao blankly, and was rarely speechless.
Yan Xiao said, "Don't you want to eat?" and then lowered his head to continue peeling shrimps, as if what he had just done was just a trivial matter.
His brows were slightly frowned, and his movements were awkward and ugly. Because he couldn't control the strength, the fingertips of the disposable gloves were torn, and his hands, which were usually clean when typing on the keyboard, were stained with red and oily soup. Not business-like or neat at all.
If it were someone else, Ye Fei would immediately turn her head away after taking one look, thinking it was ugly and sloppy. But if it’s Yan Xiao, it’s different.
Ye Fei has always known that Yan Xiao loves cleanliness, has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is extremely self-centered. Many times, when he stood in front of Yan Xiao, he would feel ashamed of himself.
However, this high and mighty person is now peeling shrimps for him.
Even if you don't want a divorce, you wouldn't go to this extent, right?
"What are you doing?" Ye Fei randomly pulled out two tissues, grabbed Yan Xiao's wrist and was about to wipe his hands, "Stop it."
Yan Xiao was very stubborn and refused to let Ye Fei wipe it for him. He was very strong and Ye Fei could not defeat him. She could only watch as the shrimp meat in front of her increased and finally piled up into a small point.
Ye Fei was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say. After a while, he pretended to be free and easy and made a joke: "Boss Yan, are you bribing me?"
"No," Yan Xiao denied, and then said simply, "You want to eat it, but you don't want to peel it."
Ye Fei had seen Yan Xiao giving orders in the conference room, Yan Xiao shining in his professional field, and Yan Xiao being invincible in the business world, but she was only moved by the ordinary and clumsy Yan Xiao at this moment.
"You..." Ye Fei's heart was beating fast, and he wanted to say something but was interrupted by a buzzing sound.
He looked down and saw that it was a voice call from his father on WeChat.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Fei would never answer the call. But at this moment, Yan Xiao disturbed his mind and he urgently needed to do something else to calm down. After thinking about it, he took the phone and walked out.
"Ye Fei, did you do this on purpose?" As soon as he pressed the answer button, Ye's father's angry questioning voice filled his ears.
Ye Fei frowned: "What?"
"You're still pretending!" Ye's father slammed the table hard, wishing he could reach through the phone and strangle his son to death. "If you hadn't suddenly joined the bidding, how could Dingyuan not have won the film and television rights to "No Return"!"
"No Return" is a romance novel and is very famous on the Internet. Dingyuan has recently been in contact with Wenxuecity, to which it belongs, hoping to buy the film and television rights to "No Return".
The price had been almost agreed upon, but today Wenxue City suddenly said that other film and television companies were interested in "No Return" and that they could not sign a contract with Dingyuan for the time being. The ownership of the film and television copyright can only be determined after two companies bid.
The duck that was in his hand flew away, and Ye Yao, with his temper, could not bear it. He immediately asked Wenxue City for the other party's information. This was not something that needed to be kept confidential, so Wenxue City told Ye Yao directly.
When Ye Yao heard that it was Tianxi, he started to have conspiracy theories and immediately ran to complain to Ye's father.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you when you were born," Ye's father opened his mouth and spat out harsh words one after another, "You are 100% like your mother. I haven't been able to bring you back after all these years! No matter how good the seeds are, nothing good can grow if the field is not good!"
Ye Fei's face suddenly darkened.
He really didn't know that Dingyuan was interested in the film and television rights of "No Return". Of course, even if he knew, he would still grab it. In business, the higher the price, the better.
Normally, when Ye's father scolded him a word or two, he didn't care and just treated it as hearing a dog barking, but he couldn't let him scold his mother.
Ye Fei took a deep breath and said coldly: "Save some face for yourself and some appetite for me. Without my mother, you are nothing."
His face was cold and full of hostility: "I am old and my brain is not working well. Where did Dingyuan's original capital come from? Do you need me to remind you? If my mother hadn't been kind and helped me get married, you would still be herding sheep in the mountains now."
The love between the young lady and the poor boy touched so many people back then. Looking back now, it was just an obvious conspiracy.
"Shut up, you little beast! Shut up!" Ye's father was furious. He hated it most when others mentioned his background. As he got angrier, his words became more vicious. "I don't want to use her money. It's her fault for trying to take advantage of me! Besides, since we're married, her things are my share. I haven't blamed her for defiling the Ye family's genes and giving birth to a thing like you! How come—"
"If you say one more word," Ye Fei was extremely angry, but she calmed down instead. He lit a cigarette and took a puff. "I'll go find Ye Yao right away."
The voice was not loud, but it was frighteningly cruel.
Father Ye's breath was choked and he subconsciously started to curse. When the words came to his lips, he remembered Ye Fei's warning and swallowed them back.
He knew that Ye Fei was no longer the obedient son who allowed himself to be manipulated by him. Considering the ruthless treatment he showed to Ye Yao that day, Ye's father believed that he would definitely do what he said.
"Ye Jianying, my mother is easy to bully, but I am not." Ye Fei said lightly, raising his hand to hang up the call.
He took two deep puffs of his cigarette and was trying hard to suppress the emotions churning in his heart when a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Ye Fei," Yan Xiao stood at the entrance of the alley and asked him, "Who bullied you?"
"Did you eavesdrop on my phone call?" Ye Fei looked over, his face full of coldness and a hint of hostility that had not been subdued.
"I didn't," Yan Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Ye Fei, explaining to him why he was here, "You never come back, so I came to see you, and I overheard it by accident."
He emphasized again: "I only heard the last sentence."
Ye Fei sneered, lowered his eyes and smoked, and did not speak to Yan Xiao again. The thin figure was hidden in the alley, and as the moonlight flickered, it gave off a sense of ethereality that made Yan Xiao very uncomfortable.
So, Yan Xiao took a step forward, got closer to Ye Fei, and asked again: "Who bullied you?"
Ye Fei raised his eyes, and Yan Xiao just stared at him without blinking, stubbornly asking him for an answer. It seemed that as long as Ye Fei mentioned that person's name, Yan Xiao would immediately help Ye Fei get back his face.
Ye Fei said, "It's none of your business." He put out the cigarette, looked around, but couldn't find a trash can, so he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and took away the half-wet cigarette butt that he had bitten.
Yan Xiao said "I'll do it" and walked out of the alley.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and after a moment, they gradually approached again.
Yan Xiao was still standing in the same place, with the city's neon lights behind him, as if he was bringing light with him. He didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied Ye Fei, steady and reliable.
It seemed to be silently telling Ye Fei that he could also be weak because he also had someone he could rely on.
Perhaps it was because the alley was too quiet and the night was too dark, Ye Fei suddenly felt a lingering fatigue. He didn't want to move at all and just wanted to find a place to lean on.
So, he said to Yan Xiao, "Brother Yan, lend me your shoulder."
Yan Xiao didn't quite understand what "borrowing a shoulder" meant, but fortunately Ye Fei didn't let him figure it out on his own. The next second, he walked up and gently rested his head on Yan Xiao's shoulder.
At that moment, Yan Xiao even breathed lighter. He stood frozen in place, not daring to move, as if he was carrying the weight of the world on his right shoulder.
The noisy voices outside drifted in from time to time. The moonlight softly shone on the alley, but it could not break the tranquility of this place.
After a moment of silence, Ye Fei suddenly said, "Brother Yan, you smell so strongly of crayfish."
Yan Xiao said "I'm sorry" and told Ye Fei: "I will take a shower as soon as I get back."
Ye Fei didn't know why, but she was amused by this sentence. He laughed so happily that all the anger and grievances brought by Ye's father disappeared.
He buried his face in the crook of Yan Xiao's neck and said, "Okay."
