Chapter 115 Emperor Qian stayed in the Shen family for two years at the age of 115...
I stayed at Shen's house for two days, and just as Shen Que said, I didn't see his parents at all. Apart from Shen Mu's occasional appearances, it was no different from being with them at their own home.
The company trip was scheduled for after the Chinese New Year. They went out to play when others returned to work after their holidays. The scenic spots happened to be empty, so after a few days of deliberation, they finally chose the warm south.
After calculating the time, Shen indeed couldn't go. Xu Qingye felt it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do. Work was important, and it was already good enough to be able to stay at home for so long during the New Year.
Lying on the sofa, Xu Qingye was browsing his mobile phone. Weibo has been very active recently. At the end of the year, celebrities seem to have KPI assessments as well. They post on Weibo one after another to send blessings or recommend and promote their own works.
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que's Weibo. The last post was the promotion for the release of "Breaking Dawn". There has been no update in so many days.
"Hey, Shen Que, don't you manage your Weibo? Zhao Wen doesn't say anything about you. You're too lazy. You need to give your fans some benefits. It's the end of the year, everyone is working on sales, you should do it too."
Xu Qingye raised his foot and kicked Shen Que who was sitting not far away. Shen Que was reciting the lines from the script when he was suddenly kicked. He raised his head and looked at Xu Qingye in confusion.
"How do we achieve sales results?" Shen Que frowned. This was an unfamiliar area for him.
"Live broadcast, interact, post selfies, show off your talents, and do some tricks. How about I take a muscle transformation video for you? First, he walks out in a plain way wearing baggy clothes, and then the clothes disappear with a flick of his hand, revealing beautiful abdominal muscles. It's an absolute contrast, absolutely charming."
Xu Qingye went over the business routines of the artists in the past in his mind. Singing, hand gestures and the like were too conventional, but cross-dressing was quite good.
"You are quite generous, willing to show it to others."
Shen Que stared at Xu Qingye for a while and found that he didn't seem to be joking. He couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. Xu Qingye didn't seem to care about him at all.
"I'm not a pedantic person. Since I've chosen to fall in love with an actor, I'm open-minded about many things. It's an honor to devote oneself to art. Your beauty is my honor, so of course I have to show it off generously." Xu Qingye smiled. Some exposure is also an asset. Some male actors are not good-looking even when they are naked. They don't manage their body at all. Content entertainment is too tolerant to male artists. Female artists are curled up all the time, while male artists are filming idol dramas with beer bellies. Looking at that body, the female artists are simply suffering from work injuries.
"No, I don't want to shoot this."
Shen Que refused. He was not interested in showing off his muscles. He was not a fitness fanatic and had no pursuit of muscles. He just wanted to do some exercise to maintain his figure.
If I show it, people will point fingers at me and it will definitely become a topic of conversation among relatives during the New Year, so I'd better forget it.
"Well, I can't just post a selfie and get away with it. The competition is still fierce at the end of the year."
Xu Qingye took a look at the box office. "Breaking Dawn" has already grossed over 1 billion, ranking fourth. The first place is a series of movies, which already has a large audience. The second place is "Little Man", which Xu Qingye had paid attention to before. The box office of "Little Man" has suddenly risen in the past few days. It should be because the first wave of audiences spread the word of mouth after watching it, and the box office has also risen accordingly.
The third one is an animated film, and animations have their own audience and it’s not just one track.
This commercial film was heavily promoted before its release, but its mediocre performance temporarily puts the film at a disadvantage. Xu Qingye looked at the rankings on the cast list and couldn't help but give them some wax wax. This lineup and these data will be ridiculed by the public for a long time.
"How about I show you a talent?"
Shen Que thought about it and really had no idea. His Weibo after his debut was mostly all kinds of advertisements and promotions, and there was not much content about him personally. Firstly, he didn't really want to post, and secondly, his life was a little boring, so he didn't know what to share.
"Talent? You don't have it, how come you suddenly have it?"
Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little confused. It was Shen Mu who personally confirmed that Shen Que had no talent.
"I learned piano for a while, so I'll just play the piano."
Shen Que stood up, took Xu Qingye's hand and walked towards the piano room. His parents had wanted to cultivate his and Shen Mu's artistic talents, so they spent a lot of money to buy a piano. Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to have much talent, and they gave up after learning for a while.
The piano naturally became a decoration, and I had to hire someone to maintain it every year, which was the most uneconomical expense.
Walking into the piano room, Xu Qingye sat in front of the piano. He opened the cover and took a quick look to get a feel for it, then his hands lightly fell on the black and white keys. Although it seemed a little unfamiliar, it was a tune that flowed well.
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que playing the piano with one hand, with the sunlight shining on him, and quickly picked up the camera to take pictures. Shen Que was wearing a fluffy white sweater and played the piano calmly and elegantly, exuding the aura of an artist.
"I didn't expect that you can play the piano even though you can't sing. Teach me."
Xu Qingye found it somewhat magical. Shen Que smiled and waved at him, asking him to sit down next to him.
"Playing the piano and singing are two different things. To play the piano, you just need to understand the music score and practice diligently to get the tune right, but to sing, at least all five notes must be played."
Shen Que felt a little helpless. He had tried hard to sing, but he found that success was not achieved just by hard work.
Xu Qingye tried to hold back his laughter. It was rare that Shen Que had such a harmless little flaw.
Sitting on the chair, Shen Que grabbed Xu Qingye's hand from behind and played gently on the piano. He led him to play a simple "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Xu Qingye found it interesting and wanted to continue, but when the difficulty was slightly increased, he was completely dazzled. How could the fingers move so quickly on the piano?
"Forget it, forget it. I won't play anymore. You play it and I'll take a picture for you. The sun is shining brightly right now, and it's just right for the piano to be illuminated. The picture is very beautiful."
Xu Qingye stood up, picked up the camera, adjusted the focus, and tried it at Shen Que.
"Well, let's just play a simple piece."
Shen Que pondered for a while and played the "Radetzky March", which was not difficult and was just within his ability. The cheerful rhythm was suitable for the New Year.
Xu Qingye recorded it carefully, edited it, and sent it to Shen Que after color adjustment. Shen Que read it once, edited it, and posted it on Weibo.
The copy was also written for him by Xu Qingye.
Shen Que: The new year begins, and everything is renewed. I appreciate your kindness, so I play a song to express my gratitude. I wish you all a happy new year and all the best. [Video]
Maybe it's because Shen Que hasn't released any news about himself for a long time, and his fans have been clamoring for it. As soon as the video was released, a group of people gathered around.
The video is less than three minutes long. Xu Qingye simply added an opening credits, and the rest of the video is just footage of Shen Que sitting there playing the piano.
I'm sure I'll fall in love with you: Great news, great news, my Que Di is open, what a good day today is, my Que Di is actually open!!!
Blooming flowers do not necessarily mean wealth: Hahahaha, as a music student, I can see that my playing is a little stiff, probably because I haven't played for a long time. But my basic skills are still solid. The key is, this piano is so expensive, ahhhhh, can I go to your house to play the piano? I really just want to play the piano.
Just laugh, it’s no big deal: Wow, Shen Que seems like a treasure, he is a good actor and plays the piano so well, so can you talk to me?
······
Under the enthusiasm of fans, the topic #沈缺玩鋼琴# suddenly became popular and was even on the hot searches in a short while. Looking at the popularity, Xu Qingye couldn't imagine what kind of lively scene it would be if he filmed a dress-up video.
On New Year's Eve, many guests came to the house. Xu Qingye began to feel restrained again. He almost stayed in Shen Que's room and never went out. Shen Que simply didn't go out either. Then Shen Mu also hid in, saying that he was bored staying in his room alone, so he came to their place to liven up the atmosphere. So the three of them sat there staring at each other.
"Can't we just be open and honest?"
Xu Qingye sat there for a while and felt really bored. If Shen Mu was not around, he could tease Shen Que to kill some time. But if Shen Mu was sitting next to him, it would restrict his ability to express himself.
"Well, then you go out. They come here mainly to see you. After all, my brother finding a male wife will be a topic of gossip for a long time. You can communicate with them more when you go out. At least when they gossip about you in the future, they can say that you are a nice person."
Shen Mu patted Xu Qingye on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. Xu Qingye backed off and continued to stay in the room playing with his phone.
They had to go out for dinner in the evening, but the situation was not as bad as Xu Qingye had imagined. Just as Ms. Luo Baozhu had said at the beginning, no one dared to say anything, and when they saw Xu Qingye, they all praised him. However, I didn't hear anyone praising him for being handsome. Most people just said a few words about how well-matched he was.
It was the first time for Xu Qingye to have New Year's Eve dinner with so many people. He didn't even dare to pick up food with his chopsticks. In the end, he just signaled with his eyes and Shen Que helped him pick up food. He felt like he had ascended the throne and became an emperor, except that Shen Que was about to feed him the food.
After the meal, the room full of relatives came to give him red envelopes. Xu Qingye was shocked as he did not expect to be treated like this. After a while he was enthusiastically calling uncles, aunts, uncles, and grandmas, and started the enthusiastic business mode. He had never been so sweet-mouthed in his life, and his face was a little stiff when he laughed at the end.
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que with dissatisfaction, but Shen Que just stood beside him without saying a word and took all the red envelopes anyway. It was so unfair!
Back in the room, Xu Qingye began to count the red envelopes. Shen Que looked at him and gave him his share as well.
"Does it feel like you're counting the gift money in your room on your wedding night? Do you want me to give you a notebook to keep track of it?"
Shen Que leaned on the bed and watched Xu Qingye sitting cross-legged on the bed counting red envelopes. He couldn't help but curl his lips. This scene was really comfortable. The person he loved was lying on his bed. There was no more touching scene than this.
"Fuck you. Anyway, you didn't prepare a gift for me?"
Xu Qingye put away the red envelope. The main purpose of the New Year's money was to have a good time. There wasn't much. He put it in the bedside table. When he opened it, he saw it was full of condoms. There weren't so many yesterday. When did he buy them? ! !
Xu Qingye glared at Shen Que. That was really the only thing on the young man’s mind!
"Well, it's ready, wait a minute."
Shen Que walked into the cloakroom without changing his expression, took out a bag and handed it to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye took it doubtfully and took out a silk shirt from the bag. He picked it up and took a look at it, and felt that the style was very familiar.
