Chapter 32 The show revealed the senior's happy event
The Zhou and Du families quickly arranged the marriage of Zhou Yangze and Du Ningyou in mid-November.
It was now early September, more than two months away from the wedding. Zhou Yangze had originally wanted to hold it closer, but this was an excellent date that the two families had specially asked a master to calculate, so it was decided.
They arranged to meet Fang Rongxin on a weekend, and Zhou Yangze had prepared many ways to show their affection. For example, when ordering food, he revealed his complete knowledge of Du Ningyou's preferences. During the meal, he casually mentioned the details of their life in Shiqiao Village, creating an atmosphere where they were alone and no one else could interfere. The whole process also included some natural and unpretentious physical contact and some sudden bursts of tacit understanding...
Finally, he told Fang Rongxin that he and Ning You had set a wedding date and invited him to the wedding, which was a decisive move.
Not bad, not bad, I am so smart!
It’s a pity that I haven’t got the ring yet, so I’m missing an item... Oh no, a tool to show off my love. But it doesn’t matter, this is enough for now.
They met at a Chinese restaurant, whose elegant and solemn style was very popular among business people. When they arrived at the restaurant at the estimated time, Fang Rongxin was already waiting there.
He sat by the window and raised his hand gracefully to signal, and Zhou Yangze pulled Du Ningyou over.
"Senior, long time no see." Du Ningyou greeted with a smile.
"Long time no see, was it fun recording the show?"
"It's so much fun! We have three families, harvesting corn together, designing an eco-friendly farm, and helping with wedding planning. In our free time, we just eat at one family and visit another. We're living a prosperous and happy life."
Fang Rongxin smiled softly.
Du Ningyou picked up a gift bag and handed it to him. "Senior, this is a gift we brought you from Shiqiao Village. It's some local specialties, including honey produced by the villagers themselves, rapeseed oil squeezed using traditional methods, and autumn tea produced from a thousand-year-old tea tree. It's not a valuable item, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed."
"Thank you. No matter what it is, I'm already very happy that you remembered to bring me a gift." Then he handed them the menu, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
Zhou Yangze had been preparing for so long, and it was finally his turn to show off. He took the menu and said to Du Ningyou, "I'll help you order. They're all your favorites."
Then he looked at the menu and said to the waiter, "I want to order a tofu with matsutake mushroom and chicken sauce, a crayfish with cheese, a pan-fried sturgeon, and a bird's nest egg tart for dessert. That's about it." Then he looked at Du Ningyou proudly and said, "Well, did I order right?"
"That's right, but why don't you order two of your favorites?"
"Order it. Whatever you like is what I like." Then he handed the menu to Fang Rongxin, "Senior, order two more. Our taste may be different from yours." There was a hint of boasting in his tone.
Fang Rongxin always had a faint, decent smile on his face, but when he looked at Zhou Yangze, he revealed a hint of obvious contempt. When he looked at Du Ningyou, his expression became kind again.
Zhou Yangze: "..."
After adding two dishes, Fang Rongxin slowly said, "Today, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you something."
Du Ningyou asked doubtfully, "What's the matter? Senior, just tell me."
He took out two red invitations from the side and handed them over, saying calmly, "I'm getting married on the 30th of this month. Remember to come and have a drink at the wedding."
"What!"
Zhou Yangze was even more excited than Du Ningyou. He had always regarded Fang Rongxin as his love rival and even prepared so much in advance for this dinner, but before he could even show his skills, the other party said they wanted to get married?
Fang Rongxin raised the corner of his mouth and teased Zhou Yangze deliberately, "Mr. Zhou, your surprise will make others think that you have a crush on me."
"Pfft, don't say such disgusting things, I just didn't think of it."
"hehe."
Du Ningyou opened the invitation and saw that the bride was Song Zhiyun, the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of many elders in the circle. Backed by the well-established Song family, as the eldest sister in the family, she had followed the elders of the Song family to participate in various occasions very early on, and had developed the ability to advance and retreat appropriately and the emotional intelligence to deal with people. It can be said that she is a woman who combines beauty, wisdom and experience.
"Senior, congratulations! Your bride is actually Song Zhiyun, the goddess in the hearts of many eligible men. If you don't make a move, it's fine. But if you do, you'll become a public enemy in the circle."
Fang Rongxin smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"That's not what I'm looking for."
Du Ningyou didn't know what to say about other people's marriages, but he said from the perspective of a long-time friend: "Senior, Zhou Yangze and I actually hope that you can be happy. If the other person is a good person, you can also try to be sincere. The days ahead are so long, and it will be easier if you have someone to walk with you."
When Fang Rongxin heard this, his hand that was originally going to pick up the teacup paused slightly, and he slowly raised his drooping eyes to look across. He first looked at the serious Du Ningyou, and then looked at the somewhat embarrassed Zhou Yangze. This time, the corners of his mouth raised, and some soft light was sprinkled in his eyes.
"Yeah, I understand."
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival fell on a Monday, so there were three consecutive days off: Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
After intensive production, the ninth season of "Life in Taoyuan" was finally officially launched on the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which was Saturday at 8 pm to meet the audience. Celebrities, directors and producers in the circle forwarded it one after another, and the program team even released two episodes in one go.
At first, it was just the old fans of the show who wanted to see what the revised version would be like, and some passers-by who saw it clicked on it with a try-it attitude. Later, some fans saw the message forwarded by their own host and rushed in to show their support... and then they became complete fans.
This program is simply addictive. It can be regarded as a slow-paced pastoral variety show. Every frame of the scene in it is beautiful enough to be used as a wallpaper, and the daily lives of the guests also make people feel warm and healed. It can also be regarded as a comedy variety show. The mutual pranks between Zhou Yangze and Chen Ziyu are hilarious, Su Qiang is also very funny, and the other guests also have their own styles and famous scenes. It can also be regarded as a food variety show. The scenes of the guests cooking and eating are so moving that people can't help but drool.
Another point is that it's completely self-generated. The Zhou family's prince, who often appears on gossip and social media, finally has a full-range, high-definition video. Previously, the photos and videos of him during the scandal were either blurry or just showed his profile or back, but even then they attracted a lot of attention. Now that he's in the spotlight, people are going crazy. Not long after the show went online, all major platforms had a variety of video clips of him.
The childhood sweetheart moments between him and Du Ningyou are simply too addictive. Master Zhou's subtle thoughts are completely hidden, constantly seeking praise and attention, and even going out of his way to show off in front of Du Ningyou. Meanwhile, Du Ningyou is delicate and unpretentious, always offering up plenty of emotional value at just the right moment. He's a truly adorable little character.
"I showed off all of it in one breath, but it's not enough. I'm crazy about Zhou Shao, I'm crazy about Zhou Shao, I'm banging my head against the wall for Ze You!"
"The shots are so beautiful that every frame can be used as a wallpaper. The rice fields under the sunset, the green mountains in the morning mist, the courtyard where we eat hot pot together in the evening... "Life in Taoyuan" is still so healing."
"Zhou Yangze and Chen Ziyou are so funny. Normally they're just acquaintances, complaining and disliking each other, but when it comes to crucial moments, they'll form an alliance in earnest. That's what brothers are like."
"Family, the official account has released the behind-the-scenes footage, go watch it!"
"Sister Qiang's expression was just like me, asking with a gossipy look on her face, 'What's your relationship?' and then adding a meaningful 'Oh, changing the subject'. I was dying of laughter."
"Are you selling the same breakfast as Sister Ai? I really want to eat it."
…
The online discussion about the ninth season of "Life in Taoyuan" has skyrocketed, occupying several hot searches at once, and the popularity is still rising.
Zhou Yangze asked the public relations department to keep an eye on online public opinion, especially those related to Du Ningyou, and to control the comments. However, she has a natural likable quality, and the comments about her online are basically positive. The occasional negative comments are also dealt with in a timely manner.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Wanyun invited Du Boyan's family to dinner at her home. She has been in high spirits lately and cheerful every day. When she went shopping and played mahjong with her sisters, they all said that she looked more than ten years younger.
There was the sound of a car outside. It should be her son coming with someone. Shen Wanyun stood up with a smile and went to the door to greet him.
"Boyan, Ning You, Ning Rao, you're here, come in quickly." Then he asked, "Where are Ning Han and the others?"
Du Ningyou replied, "My eldest brother and his wife will be here soon." Then he handed over the gift obediently, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Chen, we're sorry to bother you today."
As a courtesy of visiting, Shen Wanyun accepted the gift and said angrily, "We will be a family from now on, so why bother me?"
"hey-hey."
Zhou Yangze looked at Du Ningyou and raised his eyebrows, agreeing: "That's right."
She slapped him straight away.
Shen Wanyun invited them to sit in the living room and asked her aunt to cut some fruits and mooncakes and bring them over. They chatted and laughed.
After a while, the sound of wheels rolling over the ground could be heard outside again. Zhou Mingcheng, dressed in a neat suit, appeared in the living room. He glanced at the elegantly seated woman, then smiled and greeted the elder, "Uncle Du."
"Mingcheng is back, come and have some mooncakes."
"good."
He walked over and sat down next to Du Ningrao. They didn't look at each other or say hello. Du Ningrao moved a little to the side without saying a word.
Zhou Mingcheng lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the red bean paste mooncake in her hand, and asked softly, "Does this taste good?"
Du Ningrao didn't realize at first that he was being spoken to. He turned to look at Zhou Mingcheng and asked doubtfully, "Are you talking to me?"
"Well, I asked you if the mooncake in your hand tastes good."
"Oh, it's OK."
So he also forked a piece of the same flavor, took a small bite, looked at her and said, "It's really good."
Du Ningrao: “…”
They have been competitors since they were in school, competing for rankings and the position of student union president. Later, after they started working, although Zhou was in the entertainment industry, he insisted on entering the emerging technology industry, which happened to overlap with the area she was in charge of at Du, and the two began to compete for customers again.
It can be said that the relationship is incompatible like water and fire.
But some time ago, she met Zhou Mingcheng after a social event. This guy proposed one last competition. It was simple, just a drinking contest. Whoever got drunk first would agree to a request from the other. After this, they would get along well and write off all the past.
In the end, she lost, and Zhou Mingcheng still hasn't said what his demands are.
And…even though we agreed to get along well in the future, doesn’t he feel awkward chatting in such a calm manner?
