The atmosphere in the office was inexplicably depressing.
Cheng Minghao crouched down under the table and took a bottle of water to drink. He also brought a bottle for Yan Xiao and advised, "Brother Xiao, if it really doesn't work, forget it."
Yan Xiao was silent for a while, then said, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Minghao wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth: "Brother Fei, maybe he just doesn't like your type. Look, it's been seven years, and you two are married, but in the end..."
Cheng Minghao fell silent instantly.
Yan Xiao looked at him coldly, his eyes seemed to want to skin him alive.
"Well... I said the wrong thing," Cheng Minghao laughed dryly and moved away from Yan Xiao. "How about you tell me the details of your situation and I can help you analyze it?"
Yan Xiao did not answer. After a while, he suddenly asked, "What is a playful person like?"
"Ah?" Cheng Minghao was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest happily, "I'm like this, I have a lot of friends, during the day - well-dressed in the office, at night - sexy and hanging out in the bar."
Yan Xiao stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on Cheng Minghao.
"What, what happened?" Cheng Minghao was so scared that he stuttered.
"Ye Fei said he likes to play."
Damn it! Cheng Minghao cursed in his heart, how could he be so stupid as to step on a landmine, and quickly tried to make amends: "I was joking, just joking! Brother Fei didn't even look at me once."
He thought about it and suggested, "How about I take you to the bar later so you can see it for yourself?"
Yan Xiao had a blank expression on his face and did not react at all, obviously not agreeing with what he said.
"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle," Cheng Minghao said earnestly, "Besides, you don't have to stay too long, just take a look." He paused and added a heavy note, "You don't even know Fei Ge's preferences, how can you pursue someone?"
Yan Xiao thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay."
But the next second, he immediately took out his phone to report to Ye Fei -
[Yan Xiao: Let’s go to the bar tonight.] 】
【Yan Xiao: With Cheng Minghao. 】
Ye Fei had just stepped into the gate of Tianxi when he received these two messages. He didn't understand what Yan Xiao meant. After thinking about it, he didn't reply and just ignored it.
"You still remember to come back?!" As soon as he put down the phone, Gu Ruijia's angry roar came from the front.
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "You are looking at me so closely, do you have other thoughts about me?"
Gu Ruijia was so angry that her brain was deprived of oxygen and she was unconscious. She rushed over with her teeth bared and claws bared: "Yes! My other idea is to kill you."
Ye Fei easily pushed his hand away and pushed him towards the office: "That's enough, I have something important to do."
"You'd better explain it clearly." Gu Ruijia pushed him away unhappily and straightened her collar.
He was really nervous. It was the first time he had followed a project from start to finish and was about to be tested by the audience. Whether it would be successful or not depended on this one night. Ye Fei originally agreed to accompany him, but she just ran away. How could he not be angry?
When Ye Fei saw him like this, she knew that Gu Ruijia had not heard about Yan Xiao being hit by the billboard. But it's true. Yan Xiao said before that he had contacted them to withdraw the paper.
Gu Ruijia was a big mouth. Ye Fei was afraid that he would spread rumors after knowing it, so she smiled frivolously: "Why do you talk like a young wife who caught her husband cheating?"
"Fuck you..." Gu Ruijia casually picked up a book from the table and was about to take a photo when she heard Ye Fei say, "Hey, the comments on the barrage are pretty good."
"Please Wake Up" has a total of twenty-six episodes, each episode is about forty-five minutes, and two episodes are updated per week. Non-Feixiao Video members can only watch two episodes, but members can watch six episodes in advance.
It's already past nine o'clock and the drama has reached the second episode.
When he mentioned this, Gu Ruijia immediately stopped caring about anything else and hurried over to take a look.
But after taking a look, I was disappointed: "There are no meaningful reviews at all, they are all hahahaha."
Ye Fei pushed the laptop away and smiled: "The best evaluation of a silly drama is that it can make people laugh."
He was right. "Please Wake Up" is not one of those unknown online dramas. Especially after the cooperation with Feixiao Video, the publicity investment has increased a lot more than expected. In addition, it coincided with the removal of Orange Video’s resources and the rise of Feixiao Video, which greatly increased the attention.
But many people are not optimistic about this drama. After all, online dramas are still synonymous with shoddy productions nowadays. In addition, there are no well-known actors to support the show. Some people are staying in front of their computers tonight not to watch the show for the first time, but to see the joke.
As a result, the sarcasm didn't last long before he was attracted by the plot and started laughing along with the real audience, completely forgetting his original purpose.
In a sense, "Please Wake Up" is already halfway to success.
"Don't lie to me, I take it seriously." Gu Ruijia took two gulps of water and looked at Ye Fei seriously.
Ye Fei hummed, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Gu Ruijia picked up his phone, clicked into a WeChat group, typed in the dialog box for a long time, but deleted everything in the end.
"Forget it, let's wait a few days."
The Gu family is an old wealthy family. All the children in the family receive elite education and have promising prospects. Only Gu Ruijia was an outlier, and was left far behind by his cousins.
Over the years, Gu's parents have been subjected to frequent ridicule and sarcasm at family gatherings. Gu Ruijia had been holding back his anger and wanted to achieve some results, and just now he almost couldn't help showing off in the family group.
But I still stopped before the information was sent out. After all, the playback rate and other things haven't come out yet, and it's a bit early to show off now.
"I'll search for reviews online." Gu Ruijia was quiet for a while, but he couldn't sit still anymore, so he started searching for terms on Weibo.
While reading, I kept mumbling: "No way, why are there so few related Weibo posts? Is it because the publicity is not sufficient? Should I…"
Ye Fei was annoyed by his nagging and couldn't help but kick him: "Shut up. The second episode hasn't even finished airing yet, and this isn't a big director's big production, what else do you want?"
"I know, but I'm just... concerned and confused." Gu Ruijia took a deep breath and walked around the office anxiously. "No, I have to go watch a movie to calm down."
Ye Fei: “…”
Ye Fei was too lazy to care about him, so she put on her earplugs and prepared to take a nap.
Both of them temporarily quit Weibo, so they didn’t know that after the second episode was aired, a lot of news related to "Please Wake Up" appeared on the Internet.
The director of "Please Wake Up" is not very old, and although his shooting techniques are less mature than those of famous directors, they are very much in line with the tastes of today's young people.
The whole drama has a smooth plot and a brisk pace, especially the ending. It's like the show is deliberately whetting the audience's appetite, making people eager to watch the next episode.
[Damn it, damn it!] I originally thought that "Please Wake Up" would be a bad drama, but now... it's really good! I went to recharge my Feixiao Video membership. 】
[Hahahaha, this stupid drama made me laugh to death! I almost smashed the table when the male protagonist got his period! 】
[Ahhhh, does anyone have a Feixiao Video membership to lend me?! Can't wait to read on! 】
[I won’t say anything more. I’ll go and subscribe to the membership.] The office worker has been tortured beyond recognition by his boss, so he can have some fun watching this silly drama this year. 】
………………
Of course, there are quite a few negative reviews among them, but compared with the positive reviews that are growing like a snowball, they are nothing. Discussion threads about "Please Wake Up" began to appear on major forums, and some fans even set up a special group on Douban.
After watching a movie, Gu Ruijia's restless heart finally calmed down. Just as I was about to search for reviews online, I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.
He looked towards the source of the sound and found it was Ye Fei's cell phone.
"Ye Fei, answer the phone." Gu Ruijia shouted.
Ye Fei didn't respond.
Fell asleep? Gu Ruijia walked over and saw that Ye Fei was wearing earplugs. He pulled out one of the earbuds and pushed Ye Fei: "Your phone."
Ye Fei had finally managed to feel a little sleepy, but this woke him up completely.
"Who is it?" His tone was a little bad.
Gu Ruijia took a look and said, "Cheng Minghao."
Ye Fei paused for a moment before pressing the answer button.
"Brother Fei, help me!" On the other end of the phone, Cheng Minghao didn't even have time to say hello, he just shouted, scaring Ye Fei.
"What happened?"
Cheng Minghao couldn't wait to say, "Brother Xiao and I are at the bar, he's drunk, come and take him home."
He didn't know why things turned out like this.
At first, everything was normal.
Yan Xiao followed him to the bar, and the two found a booth with a good view to facilitate Yan Xiao's observation plan. During this period, in order to take care of Yan Xiao, Cheng Minghao specially ordered two cocktails with lower alcohol content.
"Try it." He pushed a glass in front of Yan Xiao and introduced it, "This wine is delicious."
"Cheng Minghao," Yan Xiao looked at him expressionlessly, "I'm not here to drink."
"I know," Cheng Minghao waved his hand. "Don't you want to know what a person who knows how to have fun is like? Let me tell you, the first thing is that he has to know how to drink."
He glanced at the beautiful woman passing by and continued, "For example, I drink a little every day. Now I am not afraid of any occasion."
Yan Xiao paused for a moment, his complex gaze fixed on Cheng Minghao's face: "Alcohol can damage the function of brain nerve cells, causing memory loss and slow reaction."
Cheng Minghao felt uneasy when he was looking at him, and the wine in his hand lost its flavor. He asked hesitantly, "...So?"
Yan Xiao: "No offense, but I think I know why you failed your college courses."
Cheng Minghao: “…”
Cheng Minghao: “???”
Cheng Minghao almost couldn't catch his breath. He took a long time to relax and sneered, "Oh, Brother Fei also drinks, and he likes people who can drink."
"I never drink." Yan Xiao was silent for a while, then drank the whole glass of cocktail in one breath.
Cheng Minghao: “…”
Okay, he should just be an emotionless tool!
Cheng Minghao's original intention of persuading Yan Xiao to drink was to ask him what was going on between him and Ye Fei. However, he never expected that his mistake would occur here tonight.
Seeing Yan Xiao, who was drunk and emitting cold air and didn't recognize his relatives, Cheng Minghao collapsed and said, "Brother Fei, I really have no other choice but to find you. He won't let anyone get close to him."
Ye Fei blinked in shock: "You said Yan Xiao drank?"
How could that be! This person obviously doesn't drink any beverages containing additives.
"Yeah," Cheng Minghao wiped his face tiredly, "Can I send the address to you on WeChat later?"
Ye Fei asked again: "How much did he drink?"
Cheng Minghao said: "A cocktail with an alcohol content of less than eight degrees."
Ye Fei: “…”
Ye Fei didn't want to have close contact with Yan Xiao again, and besides, this little bit of alcohol shouldn't be a big deal. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I have something to do here and can't leave. So, you find someone else, and the two of you can go together..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cheng Minghao.
"No, Brother Fei," Cheng Minghao almost knelt down in front of him, "I don't dare to touch him at all now."
Ye Fei was helpless: "What's the point of me going? He won't let me get close."
"Of course you are different." Cheng Minghao responded without thinking, and hurriedly said four words, "Check WeChat." Then he hung up the phone without giving Ye Fei any chance to refuse.
"Brother Xiao is drunk? Hahahaha," Gu Ruijia had been standing next to Ye Fei and listened to most of their conversation. He laughed and said, "I really didn't expect that."
He stuffed the car keys into Ye Fei's hand and pushed him out: "Go pick someone up quickly, it's so late."
Ye Fei suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and asked Gu Ruijia: "You don't need me to accompany you anymore?"
"Hey," Gu Ruijia waved his hand very considerately and gave Ye Fei a teasing look, "Brother Xiao is more important, I understand."
Ye Fei looked down at the location sent by Cheng Minghao on WeChat, was distracted for a moment, and finally went out.
Never mind. Just this once.
The bar was not far from Tianxi, and the roads were clear at night, so Ye Fei arrived at his destination in less than twenty minutes.
He didn't need a waiter to lead the way. He saw Yan Xiao as soon as he entered the door.
It’s not that he has some kind of filter, but in the crowded bar, that circle of vacuum area is too eye-catching.
When Ye Fei walked over, Cheng Minghao was talking to Yan Xiao in a gentle voice. However, Yan Xiao just sat there with a sullen face, not saying a word. There are spikes all over its body, as if it will attack at any time.
The bar manager awkwardly stepped forward and tried to help persuade them. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he was hit by Yan Xiao's death ray and was so scared that he quickly retreated to a safe area.
Being this drunk, it's probably no use trying to do it yourself, right?
Ye Fei held his forehead, pushed aside the people in front of him, and called out tentatively: "Yan Xiao."
The next second, Yan Xiao, who had been extremely aggressive just now, instantly became docile like a big cat whose fur had been smoothed. He looked up at Ye Fei, his eyes bright under the light: "Ye Fei."
"Brother Fei, I leave it to you." Cheng Minghao sat down on the booth and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What a shitty emotional counselor! He will never be one again!
Ye Fei nodded at him and said to Yan Xiao: "Let's go home."
Yan Xiao said "Okay" and left the booth and walked towards Ye Fei. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
Ye Fei was afraid that he would get drunk and go crazy, so she quickly grabbed his wrist and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Xiao did not answer. His eyes searched the crowd and finally stopped at Cheng Minghao.
Cheng Minghao felt a chill down his spine when he was looked at by him, and asked tremblingly, "What, what happened?"
Yan Xiao pointed at Ye Fei and said expressionlessly: "He's here."
Cheng Minghao: “…”
Damn Scorpio! I remember this grudge so well that I haven't forgotten it even when I was so drunk.
Cheng Minghao looked at him with a wooden face and said perfunctorily, "Yes, I'm coming."
Only then did Yan Xiao continue to move forward contentedly.
Ye Fei had no idea what they were talking about and was too lazy to ask, so she took Yan Xiao and walked out of the bar directly.
Although Yan Xiao was drunk, it was impossible to tell from his appearance. Just like usual, he walked steadily, didn't talk much and didn't act crazy. Apart from what happened just now, he was actually quite worry-free.
Ye Fei's car was parked on the roadside in front of the bar and arrived quickly. Ye Fei knew that Yan Xiao only sat in the back seat, so she opened the back door and stuffed him in, then walked around to the driver's seat and prepared to get in the car.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the front door, I heard a noise coming from behind. He looked back and saw that Yan Xiao, who had been sitting in his seat just now, had gotten off the bus without him noticing.
Ye Fei had no choice but to walk back and push him back into the car, warning him, "Behave yourself!"
However, it was fine when he was behind, as soon as he left, Yan Xiao would immediately open the door and come down.
Ye Fei was exhausted by him and finally just gave up. Stand next to the driver's seat with your arms folded, and let him do what he wants to do.
Yan Xiao didn't want to do anything, he just sat in the co-pilot seat silently, a seat closer to Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was stunned, feeling extremely sad. He stood downstairs for a long time before getting on the bus.
During this time, Yan Xiao's eyes were always on him.
"Okay, stop looking," Ye Fei turned his face away and pointed at the seat, "Fasten your seat belt."
Yan Xiao turned his face back and said "OK", but did not move.
Ye Fei had no choice but to lean over. While pulling the seat belt, he said, "Boss Yan is really promising. He has learned to drink in the bar. What else do you want to do next?"
Yan Xiao's reaction was a little slow at this moment. After a few seconds, he slowly said, "Nothing out of the ordinary."
"I don't care about you," Ye Fei pulled the seat belt over and snorted, "Anyway, it's just this once, Yan Xiao, don't expect me to pick you up next time."
Yan Xiao didn't know whether he understood or not. He remained silent and just stared at his face without blinking.
Ye Fei sighed and leaned over: "Did you hear that?"
Yan Xiao still didn't say anything, his eyes moved down to his opening and closing lips.
Ye Fei didn't notice and pushed him with her hand: "Is Mr. Yan mute?"
Yan Xiao took his hand and said "no".
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "How come there is no mute..."
He didn't say the following words because Yan Xiao suddenly pressed the back of his head and blocked his mouth with his own.
The author has something to say: I’m very fat today!
