Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Make Dumplings
"Okay, I'm watching it now. I have one channel on my tablet, one channel on my computer, and one channel on my TV. I'm sure I won't miss any of them."
Yin Yan held the cat teacher in his arms and sat cross-legged on the sofa: "It's your turn soon, right? Go get ready."
Yu Xiangwen on the other end of the phone said, "Then I'll go."
"Well, I'll wait for you to go on stage, good luck!" Yin Yan hung up the phone, feeling subtly excited. He rubbed the cat teacher in his arms.
The first little secret that Yin Yan discovered about Yu Xiangwen after they fell in love was that the actor Yu, who used to be polite and tactful, was unexpectedly clingy.
As the year draws to a close, artists have a lot of work to do, including interviews on various platforms, new year congratulations, red carpet appearances, and rehearsals and recordings for New Year’s Eve parties.
Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen both have their own schedules and are extremely busy, so they have few opportunities to meet, so they can only send messages and make video calls every day.
Even though he was so busy, Yu Xiangwen would still find an opportunity to detour to where Yin Yan was during his two trips just to see her, even if it was just to give her a hug or say a few words.
Yin Yan had heard that many artists in the industry were not open about their relationships because they were too busy with work and did not see each other often, which easily led to conflicts and they would soon break up. There was no need to make it public. Most of those who could officially make their relationships public had already thought it over carefully and were even at the stage of discussing marriage before they took the initiative to announce their relationships.
He and Yu Xiangwen had just confirmed their relationship, and were at the stage where even holding hands made their hearts flutter. There weren't any problems between the two of them, and they could still enjoy their long-distance relationship.
The two had originally planned to spend New Year's Day together, but because Yu Xiangwen had to go to a TV station that needed to broadcast a live New Year's Eve party, they had to regretfully miss their first New Year's Day together.
"Ah, it's started." Yin Yan's eyes narrowed as he watched Yu Xiangwen singing on the stage on TV.
Such a handsome guy must be his boyfriend.
The singing is also nice.
He is also the youngest actor to win a prestigious domestic acting award.
Whenever Yin Yan thought about it, he could feel extremely proud of his boyfriend.
Yang Chenrui said that he was experiencing the early symptoms of love brain and that it was showing signs of getting worse.
On the night when Yin Yan finished watching the stars in "Winter Travels", he told Yang Chenrui about the little misunderstanding between him and Yu Xiangwen. Yang Chenrui commented: "It's not easy for you and Yu Xiang, two idiots in love, to be together."
In addition to Yang Chenrui, the others who know about Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen's relationship include his assistant Xiao Wu and his agent Liu Xiaodong.
The two were shocked when they learned that he and Yu Xiangwen had really talked.
"Ah? Are you serious? How did you get into a relationship? Brother, don't you say you don't want to be in a relationship?" Xiao Wu said in confusion, "Oh, you two are so ambiguous, I was just pretending to be blind... I really thought that you were sealing off your love and wanted to be a widower, how could it be like this..."
"Is this the legendary love? It's like a clear sky with blue sky and white clouds, but suddenly a storm breaks out..."
Yin Yan: “…”
Yin Yan scratched his cheek and said, "I'm sorry for betraying your trust."
Brother Liu was somewhat prepared: "I should have talked to you earlier."
However, as someone who has been through it, Brother Liu knows that it is useless to talk about it, and those who are supposed to be together will still be together.
He now hopes that the two of them are either sincere to each other and slowly open up to each other, or break up before being photographed by paparazzi.
It is best not to be forced to make the relationship public and then break up.
After Yu Xiangwen's live show ended, he called again not long after: "I just happened to catch up with you to watch your show."
The New Year's Eve party that Yin Yan attended was recorded. He smiled and said, "It will be the same if you watch it tomorrow."
"It's different. I want to see you as soon as possible." Yu Xiangwen said.
Yin Yan fell on the sofa holding the cat teacher and said shyly: "Brother Yu...you are really clingy..."
Yu Xiangwen: "Don't like it?"
Yin Yan: “Not really…”
This will exacerbate his love-brain condition.
When it comes to love, only those who have experienced it know.
I can't control it. I can't control it at all.
*
This year's Spring Festival is early, in January.
Yin Yan came home a few days earlier this time to help clean the house. Actually, he wanted to hire two part-time workers, but Song Li thought he was wasting money and disagreed.
Yin Yan and his father were wiping the table and mopping the floor under the instruction of Ms. Song Li. Halfway through, Song Li got disgusted with their clumsiness and started doing it herself.
Father Yin was unhappy and felt that he was doing a thankless job.
Because of such a small matter, the two people almost had a quarrel. Yin Yan was caught in the middle and regretted not acting first and asking for permission later before hiring a part-time worker.
This time when he returned home, Yin Yan had another task, which was to explain his current emotional state to his family.
He and Yu Xiangwen were not just playing around, so Yin Yan thought it was necessary to tell his family.
As for why he didn't bring Yu Xiangwen here directly...haha, he didn't want to see the scene of Yu Xiangwen being kicked out.
Yin Yan came out to his family, but his parents didn't take it seriously. They thought he was just following the trend, that he had watched too many art films and that his brain was damaged if he wanted to be an actor.
Therefore, he should wait until he has discussed it with his family and is sure that they have accepted it before bringing Yu Xiangwen to visit them.
Yin Yan thought of countless opening lines for a candid conversation with his parents, but he just couldn't find the right time to speak.
On the night of New Year's Eve, he first talked to his cousin Li Yumiao.
Li Yumiao and his roommate were lucky enough to create a video account that became popular on the platform and received hundreds of thousands of likes, which was considered a small achievement.
She hasn't told her family yet, but looking at her condition, you can tell that the little girl's mental state is completely different from last year.
Yin Yan sincerely hopes that Li Yumiao can always happily do the things she likes and not be bound by messy things.
Li Yumiao is quite open-minded: "I didn't expect to soar to the sky with this. I was a little uneasy in the first few days when the video went viral. I stared at the backend data every day. I couldn't be too happy when it was good, and I was so worried that my hair was about to fall out when it was not good."
"But then I figured it out. The more anxious I am, the better it will be. On the contrary, it will affect my mood. So, instead of worrying about the data every day, it is better to do what I can and let nature take its course for the rest."
Yin Yan nodded: "You have a good attitude."
"Brother, are you bragging?" Li Yumiao said with a smile, "I learned all this from you."
Yin Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Really..."
Not long after Yin Yan and Li Yumiao finished chatting, Yin's father, smelling of cigarettes, took the initiative to find Yin Yan and talked to him about some online rumors.
…
It snowed in S City the night before. There were piles of unmelted snow in the green belts of Beichen New Garden, and the roads were slippery. Yin Yan almost slipped while pushing his luggage.
Yin Yan sighed.
He should have asked the driver to take him directly to the underground garage.
Not long after returning to his small apartment, Li Yumiao called: "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine. I can run and jump, and my legs are not broken." Yin Yan said.
"I will try to persuade my aunt. Don't be sad, brother. They just have different ideas and can't understand it for the time being."
"Yeah, I know. It's okay. Take your time." Yin Yan thanked Li Yumiao for her kindness. "Don't come near my house yet. Be careful not to get hurt by mistake."
Li Yumiao sighed helplessly: "Anyway, I support you, brother! You and Brother Yu must be fine! Don't let it affect you!"
Yin Yan said with a smile: "Yeah, I understand."
Being kicked out of the house on the first day of the Lunar New Year is really unheard of.
Yin Yan changed into home clothes and collapsed on the sofa, not quite sure what to do.
He took out the script of the new movie he was going to film after the new year, flipped through two pages, but not a single line of dialogue entered his mind.
He opened Weibo again and scrolled through it for a long time. All the popular posts were things he didn't want to see. There were also marketing accounts saying that he and Yu Xiangwen were just cooperating with the program crew to hype up their relationship in "Winter Travels", and their relationship in private was very ordinary, and they have no contact now.
It's the same as installing surveillance cameras on their phones.
Yin Yan angrily closed his Weibo and picked up a comic book to read.
After reading for a while, he closed the book and went to sleep.
Having hardly slept the night before, Yin Yan couldn't sleep well now. He lay on the sofa, half asleep and half awake, and faintly heard the electronic lock ring.
Is it Yang Chenrui?
No, Yang Chenrui is still celebrating the New Year at home.
Yin Yan wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't.
Ah, could it be sleep paralysis?
Yin Yan was a little anxious, but not particularly anxious.
There was a period of time when he was often sleep paralyzed, accompanied by auditory hallucinations, which seemed to be real. The more anxious he was, the harder it was to wake up.
Yin Yan tried to move his fingers and toes first.
He heard footsteps coming from the door, as if someone was walking towards him while he was sleeping.
A clear touch slid across the back of his hand, and Yin Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his heart pounding. Then he saw that there was really a person standing in front of him.
Yin Yan yelled and threw a punch.
"Well……"
Yu Xiangwen covered his lower abdomen and slowly squatted down.
The cat teacher pillow in Yin Yan's arms rolled twice and fell to the ground, while Yin Yan was still holding his fist in shock.
Yu Xiangwen glanced at him and laughed, "Are you using... the Friendship Face-Breaking Fist?"
Yin Yan was shocked: "Brother Yu?!"
…
Helping Yu Xiangwen sit on the sofa, Yin Yan wanted to pour some water, but was pulled to sit next to Yu Xiangwen. Yu Xiangwen rubbed his neck and said faintly: "If you punch me a little lower, I will ruin my happiness for the rest of my life."
Yin Yan tapped his toes awkwardly: "I thought I was dreaming... Aren't you busy? Why did you come here?"
"Now that you're back, of course I have to come over." Yu Xiangwen said as a matter of course.
"What about work? Is it okay?" Yin Yan pushed Yu Xiangwen's head away and said seriously.
Yu Xiangwen's eyes flickered, and seeing Yin Yan's frown, he confessed, "...I don't have a job."
"ah?"
Yu Xiangwen carried the stunned Yin Yan back and said, "I'm home alone today and I don't have work."
Yin Yan struggled: "But didn't you say..."
"It's a lie."
"What about yesterday? Yesterday was New Year's Eve. Were you alone as well?"
"……Um."
Yin Yan was still: "...Brother, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Yu Xiangwen smiled: "If I had told you earlier, would you have stayed with me?"
Yin Yan hugged Yu Xiangwen's head and touched it: "Maybe?"
Yu Xiangwen was very satisfied. When Yin Yan gave him a possible answer, he was very happy: "It's not as bad as you think. I had a video call with my mother yesterday and introduced you to her."
Yin Yan immediately let go of Yu Xiangwen and sat up straight, his face full of nervousness: "What did Auntie say?"
Yu Xiangwen touched Yin Yan's face and said with a squinting look: "He praised you for being handsome and said he would make up for the works you starred in in the next few days."
"Ah." Yin Yan was shy, "How can I feel comfortable with that..."
The two clingy little lovers hugged each other again, as if they were a little hungry for skin.
After talking for a while, Yin Yan remembered: "When you were alone yesterday, did you eat dumplings?"
Yu Xiangwen paused: "If quick-frozen dumplings count."
It was Chinese New Year, and Yu Xiangwen had already given his aunt a holiday. He was alone, so he just had to make do with just a simple meal.
"Of course not." Yin Yan suddenly had an idea, "How about we make dumplings together?"
Yu Xiangwen: “…”
Yu Xiangwen: "Can you do it?"
Yin Yan took out his cell phone: "I've helped in the kitchen before, it shouldn't be difficult to search it..."
They did what they said. The two of them disguised themselves and went to the supermarket. They originally just wanted to buy vegetables, but ended up buying a bunch of snacks.
They carried their bags home. When Yin Yan opened the door with his fingerprint, he said to the person next to him, "I'll record your fingerprint later."
Yin Yan only told Yu Xiangwen the password of the electronic lock and did not have time to record his fingerprints.
Yu Xiangwen nodded, then kissed Yin Yan as soon as he entered the door.
Yin Yan put down the bag in his hand and covered his face: "Why are you doing a surprise attack!"
Yu Xiangwen smiled and said, "I'm happy."
The first time he came to Yin Yan's house and met Yang Chenrui, he thought that it would be great if one day he could come and go freely in Yin Yan's house.
A year later, this wish came true.
Yu Xiangwen was going to kiss Yin Yan again.
Yin Yan patted him: "Wash your hands before entering the house!"
In the afternoon, in the familiar kitchen, one person mixed the stuffing while another kneaded the dough.
Yin Yan's filling was completed first, and Yu Xiangwen added water when there was too much flour, and added more flour when there was too much water.
Yin Yan secretly took a picture of Yu Xiangwen's back as he struggled with the dough and sent it to Yang Chenrui.
[Mee mee]：?
[MeeMee]: I was just looking at the train tickets and thinking about going back early to accompany you (/smile)
[MeeMee]: Isn’t your boyfriend busy? How come he is free again? (/smile) (/smile)
[小言不呆]: He lied to me
[小言不呆]: I was afraid that I would know he was alone, so I stayed with him and didn’t go home (/shy)
[Mee Mee]: ...
[Mee Mee]: Looks like he's going to sleep at your place tonight?
[小言不呆]: Not sure
[Mee Mee]: Have you bought everything?
[Mee Mee]: Protect yourself (/grin)
[Xiaoyanbudai]:……
[小言不呆]: You think too much!!!
Yu Xiangwen came over with his floury hands raised: "Are you looking for dough kneading tips? Let me take a look."
Yin Yan was frightened and held the phone in his hand for a second.
Yu Xiangwen: “……?”
