☆、One Hundred and Twenty-Four、Oh, Youth! (2379 words)
Li Yaxi entered the lobby with her bag on her back. As soon as the elevator doors opened with a beep, Li Yaxi saw Feng Zihao looking out.
Li Yaxi smiled, hooked her arm around his neck, kissed him, and casually tossed him her bag.
Where are you going?
"I opened the door as soon as I heard a sound to see if it was you, in case you'd come to the wrong house."
Lu Wei swung a westerly wind and said, "It's not like we've never been here before. Are you afraid of getting lost? You're being way too cautious!"
"Who told you all to look the same? You couldn't even install something more unique. You're so old-fashioned!"
Zhan Xiaoyu scoffed, "Your house isn't that special either!"
"Then don't come in!"
Zhan Xiaoyu pursed his lips and muttered under his breath.
Chen Chen smiled helplessly, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I'm starving!"
"I'll go make you something to eat," Feng Zihao immediately stood up.
Xiaomei stopped him, saying, "You go ahead and play, I'll go make something to eat, it'll be ready soon."
Feng Zihao sat back down next to Li Yaxi. "Why haven't you eaten yet?"
"Busy jumping off buildings!"
"What?"
"Jumping off a building?"
A chorus of surprised exclamations rose and fell, startling Li Yaxi.
"Why are you so agitated? You don't even know the person who jumped!"
Feng Zihao looked at him nervously.
"What happened? It was just a party, how did it escalate to the point of someone jumping off a building?"
Li Yaxi sighed, "The two men were a couple. One was forced into marriage by his family and gave in, while the other threatened to jump off a building."
Feng Zihao grasped Li Yaxi's hand and looked at him firmly.
Li Yaxi smiled and pinched Feng Zihao's face.
"If you dare to get married, I'll kill you and then find someone else!"
"You heartless little brat!"
Xiao Mei brought the hot food to the small table. "This is what's left over. Ya Xi, please make do with it. Or should I make you some noodles?"
"No need, this is fine with me."
After Li Yaxi finished eating and drinking, she stood between Zhan Xiaoyu and Chen Chen.
"No husband-and-wife teams allowed, one of you get down here right now!"
Zhan Xiaoyu squinted at him angrily, "Could you be any more of a robber?!"
"I can do it, would you like to see?"
Zhao Yi served a hotpot, and Chen Chen pushed the cards away.
"Come on in."
Li Yaxi sat down without ceremony. "Zhan Xiaoyu, you're dead! I'll beat you so badly you won't know which way is up!"
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"
Aside from the Spring Festival travel rush, the only other times that can trigger a surge in people and a boom in business are during the winter and summer vacations.
Zhan Xiaoyu has completely cut off contact with his family, and it's not a good idea for him to keep staying at Li Yaxi's house.
So he rented a small apartment near Chen Chen's hospital and started working diligently.
This left Feng Zihao with some free time, so Li Yaxi was probably the happiest. With the extra person in the house gone, Feng Zihao had more time to spend with her.
But besides the lingering feelings, there was also the growing dislike for each other. Li Yaxi suddenly felt that Feng Zihao was always hanging around in front of her.
Now, when he has nothing to do, he likes to stay at Cai Wenliang's place because there is a private swimming pool.
In response to this move, Feng Zihao is planning to buy a villa with a swimming pool.
Gino knew that Li Yaxi was the Crown Prince, but he didn't care about causing gossip and kept his distance from him. On the contrary, he would sometimes go to see Li Yaxi after get off work and play until the middle of the night before going home.
Feng Zihao was extremely dissatisfied with Gino, but he couldn't show it in front of Li Yaxi, so whenever Feng Zihao ran into them, he would follow them without saying a word.
In fact, Li Yaxi and Gino didn't really do anything special. They just played bowling or went to Gino's rented house to watch a group of passionate young people with youthful dreams playing the piano and singing.
As time went on, Feng Zihao felt relieved. It just so happened that it was the peak season for promotions, so he gradually became busier.
Li Yaxi never expected to run into Tang Qing among that group of people. Tang Qing was sitting under an old vine tree, holding a guitar and gently playing and singing, exuding an indescribable loneliness.
Tang Qing turned around and was also taken aback when he saw Li Yaxi, then proudly turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
Li Yaxi went straight into the house to find Gino, saying that there was a performance in two days and she would come to watch their rehearsal.
Gino comes from a poor family, and besides playing illegal gambling, he also takes on some commercial performances in his spare time to earn extra money.
Li Yaxi loves music, but unfortunately he didn't have the means to do so. Now that he has the means, he lacks the patience.
All I can do is watch a group of young people who are determined to pursue their dreams.
Upon entering the room, Li Yaxi saw a group of people sitting there, their expressions tense and uneasy. She glanced around.
"The atmosphere at this meeting is really weird. What's going on? Are you calling it off?"
Gino rolled her eyes at him. "This is called a disagreement. Can't you say something nice? Why can't you hope for something better? Your thinking is too dark!"
"When you disagree, why don't you just let the minority submit to the majority? There's no need to put on such a stern face like you're in a four-way negotiation!"
Gino put down his electric guitar. "Did you see that guy outside? I don't know where he found this guy to replace Yuanzi. Yuanzi's not not coming back, why the rush? What will Yuanzi think when he gets back and sees him?!"
The alt account whose name was called stood up and protested.
"Don't get your hopes up, Yuanzi is never coming back! Do you know what signing a contract means? It means he's taken, not like us freelancers wandering around doing odd jobs! Even if he does nothing, his company will still provide him with food and drink! Lots of sponsors are lining up to him! Arno, I know you're close to Yuanzi, but ask yourself, is that guy outside really inferior to Yuanzi? You're just being biased! We're starting our show next week, where are we going to find someone with the skills you're satisfied with in such a short time!"
Dongzi twirled his drumsticks as he watched the two of them.
"If you ask me, that guy outside is quite skilled and good-looking too. Why don't we let him train with us first? If Yuanzi really comes back, then it'll be a different story!"
Li Yaxi looked at the four people and curled her lips. "Listen to yourselves, is this even human language! Treating people like backup options! Didn't I see Yuanzi just the day before yesterday? How come she's signed a contract so suddenly?"
Gino licked his lips and turned his head away from them, while the little guy seemed quite angry.
"What happened so suddenly? They started negotiating the contract three months ago, and only told us right before they left! Is this something a human would do?! Ya-Xi, do you think someone who does something like this will ever come back?!"
Li Yaxi blinked. "Probably not. Besides, signing a contract and then performing outside would be a breach of contract. He just signed, so he definitely wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like that. Maybe we shouldn't expect him to come back. You guys should just focus on practicing!"
"What business is it of yours, Li Yaxi! What do you know! What nonsense are you spouting! I'm telling you, Yuanzi isn't that kind of person!"
