Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Melon...

Hearing Li Wei's words, Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, glanced at Dai Qingyue standing outside, and quickly waved his hands.

"No, it's an uncle I just met and I get along well with him. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back first."

"You are so cold. I haven't even finished what I want to say. Forget it. I will leave today and I will see you next time."

Li Wei snorted lightly and stood up with her bag.

Xu Qingye sent the people out and welcomed Dai Qingyue in.

"Am I disturbing you?"

Dai Qingyue walked into the office and spoke somewhat embarrassedly. When Xu Qingye pushed him out, he was obviously reluctant.

"No, we've finished talking. Please sit down. Would you like something to drink, tea or coffee?"

Xu Qingye tidied up simply and collected the cup that Li Wei had drunk from.

"I'll just have some tea."

Dai Qingyue looked around the office. From the moment he entered Xu Qingye's studio, he was shocked by Shen Que's huge poster. The furnishings in the office were even more exaggerated, with all kinds of peripherals and billboards.

"Your office style is quite unique."

Dai Qingyue withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but comment that Xu Qingye's studio seemed very free and everyone seemed very happy.

"There are too many of these things. I have no place to put them so I just pile them here. I have quite a few at home too. They are useless if left alone and it would be a pity to throw them away, so I just put them here."

Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed. He had a bit of a collecting habit and had accumulated so many without realizing it. He had given away quite a few in the previous Weibo raffle, but he still had more.

"Uncle Dai, why did you come back so soon? I thought you were going to stay in Country M for a while longer."

Xu Qingye poured tea for Dai Qingyue and sat down opposite him.

"I came back for nothing. I haven't been back to China for a long time. I was going to come back to visit old friends. You are my new friend, so I came to see you first. I brought you a little gift. Don't mind."

Dai Qingyue handed the bag in his hand to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye took it embarrassedly and took a look at it. Dai Qingyue gave him a watch that looked quite expensive.

"This is too expensive. I can't accept it."

Xu Qingye could now understand the logos of luxury goods. The watches of this brand were not cheap. He did not want to receive anything without doing anything, so he could not accept such an expensive gift.

"Keep it. It's not worth much. It's just an ordinary gift."

Dai Qingyue stopped Xu Qingye from refusing, saying that it didn't mean anything to him, as he still had a lot to give Xu Qingye.

"You are too polite. We just met by chance. It is not appropriate for me to accept such an important gift."

Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed. He and Dai Qingyue had only met each other a few times. Strictly speaking, they were not even familiar with each other. They just had a good impression of each other and could talk to each other.

"I don't have many friends, and I rarely have anyone I can talk to. It's already very rare that we can chat with each other. Don't feel too burdened. Just think of it as a small gift from an elder."

Dai Qingyue tried his best to control his emotions. He looked at Xu Qingye and liked him more and more.

Xu Qingye is 70% like Xu Hong, and the remaining 30% like him. I didn't have this feeling before, but now the more I look at him, the more I feel that he is like me.

Dai Qingyue really wanted to meet him, but he controlled himself in the end. He didn't know how Xu Hong told him about his father's image, and he was afraid that if he told Xu Qingye the truth abruptly, he would not be able to accept it.

Dai Qingyue asked someone to check the information about Xu Qingye. He felt very sad when looking at the information.

Xu Hong was not very good to Xu Qingye. She always left him with other people's families. After he grew up, she only provided him with financial wealth and gave him almost no emotional investment.

Dai Qingyue felt very sad when he read the contents of the information. If he had known the existence of such a child earlier, he would definitely take him to his side and love him well, and would not let him live so lonely.

Dai Qingyue didn't dare to think about what Xu Qingye's life was like all these years, for he was afraid that he would lose control.

"Thank you, Uncle Dai."

Unable to refuse, Xu Qingye had to accept it, but he was thinking in his mind what kind of gift he should give back to Dai Qingyue.

"Uncle Dai, what do you want to talk to me about? You're not really here just to see me, are you?"

Xu Qingye accepted the gift and looked up at Dai Qingyue. The relationship between people could not be so simple. It was not possible for someone to just come and visit with gifts without any ulterior motive.

"Well, I feel like I'm very compatible with you, so I came to see you and to see if there's anything I can do to help you. I look at you like my own child."

Dai Qingyue nodded, and his eyes were full of kindness as he looked at Xu Qingye.

Xu Qingye was not used to such sudden care. He scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Does Uncle Dai have a child? Is he the same age as me? Is that why he feels so close to me?"

Xu Qingye was at a loss for words. He was not good at communicating with elders and didn't know how to start a conversation for a moment.

"I don't have any children. I've been single since I broke up with the woman I loved. When I was young, I was too obsessed with work and no one could stand me, so I've been alone."

Dai Qingyue shook his head. Shooting a documentary was a long and boring process. He often went out for several years and no one was willing to wait for him, so he never married. He didn't know whether he couldn't let go of Xu Hong in his heart or he really had never met the right person again.

When Dai Qingyue was young, he was a literary youth who regarded freedom as his life. He compared himself to a bird without legs, flying all his life and stopping only at the end of his life.

He always thought so when he was young, until now he suddenly found himself trapped in regret.

As he grew older, he could no longer fly. When he wanted to land, he found that no one was waiting for him. All that was left was loneliness.

"I won't talk about the past. I'm pretty happy now. There's nothing wrong with being alone. At least I'm free. But every year when the year comes to an end, I feel lonely when I see other families reuniting."

Dai Qingyue sighed, he looked up at Xu Qingye and gave him a gentle smile.

"What about you? Your family must be very happy. Every time I see you, you seem very happy. What kind of people are your parents?"

"I don't have parents and have always lived alone. Now I live with Shen Que, but Shen Que is getting busier and busier, and it seems that he is always alone. But in fact, I am not that lonely. I live a fulfilling life every day. It's mainly because of work. I actually run a lot of accounts, and there are a lot of things to do in the studio every day, so I don't have time to be lonely."

Dai Qingyue felt sad when listening to Xu Qingye's words. He didn't know what Xu Qingye had been through to say such a thing. He really wanted to tell Xu Qingye that he was his father, but in the end he held back the words.

"You and Shen Que seem to have a good relationship. He's a nice person."

"Well, of course. Shen Que is the family I chose myself. We will be together forever. But he has been too busy recently, and I don't want to follow him every day. It's also quite helpless. Adults always seem to have to endure loneliness."

Xu Qingye nodded. The relationship between him and Shen Que was naturally beyond doubt. It was just that they were together less than often, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"I have some connections in the film industry, and maybe I can help. Shen Que has a good chance of winning this time. Not many people at his age can win the Best Actor award. If he can manage it well, he will have a bright future."

Dai Qingyue changed the subject. His main purpose of coming this time was actually for Shen Que's award. The film industry is a place that values ​​interpersonal relationships. Even if Shen Que is good enough, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything without someone's support.

"Thank you, but if it's too much trouble, don't worry too much. I believe Shen Que will always be able to take back the Best Actor trophy. Even if not this time, there will be opportunities in the future. His excellence is obvious to all and will not be buried."

Xu Qingye didn't particularly care about Dai Qingyue's words. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time for Shen Que to win the award. If he couldn't win it this time, he would win it next time. There would always be a day when he would succeed.

"Are you so confident in Shen Que?"

Dai Qingyue was a little surprised. Xu Qingye's tone was too casual.

This circle has never lacked geniuses, but unfortunately most of them are lost among the crowd like falling stars, and their brilliance is instantly lost.

Xu Qingye naturally wouldn't let Shen Que go down such a path, but Shen Que was born to do this job. He would become the focus as long as he stood there. Xu Qingye firmly believed that anyone with vision would be able to see the good in Shen Que.

"I have always been very confident in Shen Que. He is born to be on the big screen. Even if he doesn't win the award this time, he will win the trophy next time, and the next time. In the face of absolute strength, everything else is vain. What Shen Que has is unparalleled talent and hard work day after day. In the next three years, or even five years, there will be no newcomer better than Shen Que."

Xu Qingye nodded vigorously and expressed his thoughts in an extremely firm tone. Shen Que was the King of the entertainment industry. After all, he was the male protagonist of the original novel.

Dai Qingyue listened to Xu Qingye's story and did not refute it. Before the movie was released, no one could really judge whether it was good or bad. Box office and word of mouth were both indispensable data. The glory brought by the film festival also needed to be tested in reality.

"I was too abrupt. Shen Que can get the award he deserves even if he relies on himself."

Dai Qingyue apologized very sincerely, and Xu Qingye shook his head a little embarrassedly.

"That's not what I meant. It would definitely be better if you were willing to help him, but I hope you really think he acted well, and not just because of our personal relationship. Shen Que doesn't want to win the award just because of favors."

Xu Qingye looked at Dai Qingyue seriously. He knew that what he said was contradictory and weird, but these were his sincere thoughts. If he didn't like Shen Que, then there was no need to work hard for him. Not only would he owe him a favor, but it might also become a hidden danger in the future.

He hoped that Shen Que's path would be smooth and that nothing would become an obstacle to his career.
