Chapter 40
Feng Yingjun booked a private room in a very private restaurant next to the cinema, and He Tong went there with a bodyguard.
Feng Yingjun lowered her head and hid behind her boyfriend. When her boyfriend saw the people He Tong brought with him, he looked a little embarrassed.
He Tong patted the bodyguard's shoulder and said, "Go out and wait. I'll press the pager if anything happens."
The bodyguard raised his hand and stared at his watch, walked around the room, nodded to He Tong, and then walked out.
He Tong took the initiative and made a "please" gesture to the two people in front of him. He pulled out a chair and sat down, while secretly observing the two people.
Feng Yingjun was still as timid and cowardly as ever. He Tong couldn't quite connect her with the one who sang so passionately on stage. Her boyfriend, though a man of few words, showed through his small gestures that he took very good care of her.
After both parties sat down, the man bowed and said, "Teacher He, thank you very much for saving Yingjun some time ago..."
He Tong raised his hand, interrupting him. "Any normal person would lend a hand in that situation, so there's no need for politeness. Let's get straight to the point. What do you want from me?"
The other party was not surprised. It seemed that he had analyzed He Tong's character and was prepared to deal with it.
He said, "Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Fei, and I'm a lawyer."
He Tong looked him up and down unceremoniously: "I see there's quite a big age difference between you two. If I remember correctly, Miss Feng is younger than me."
Lawyer Fei coughed lightly, a little embarrassed: "I am eight years older than her, and we met last year. Although we haven't been together for long, I am very serious about her."
Feng Yingjun also raised her head and said quietly but firmly, "It was love at first sight."
He Tong nodded and motioned them to continue.
"That's right. I'm sure you've guessed what happened to Yingjun before. Now she's been blacklisted by the company—or rather, her agent unilaterally severed her ties with the company. We're trying to terminate her contract with her company. Of course, the penalty is high, but since her company has also engaged in improper operations, I'm confident we can successfully get her out of the company."
"Our biggest problem right now is the boss from that night. He's enraged by Yingjun and won't let her go. Common folk like us with no connections are really inconvenienced by him."
He Tong understood: "So you want to find me... or rather, find Xingchen to deal with him."
Lawyer Fei nodded honestly. "We did want to ask you for help. But—that night, Yingjun jumped into the river with her phone. We originally thought all the data was gone, but we didn't expect it to be recoverable."
He took out an MP3 player with headphones plugged in from his pocket and placed his hands on the table in front of He Tong.
"I believe that you will have to deal with him sooner or later. So, I implore you to take action as soon as possible."
He Tong looked at him, reached out to take the MP3, put on headphones, pressed play, and listened carefully with his eyes lowered.
After a long time, he raised one corner of his mouth and snorted.
Lawyer Fei on the opposite side could not see any change in He Tong's expression, so he had to continue as planned and took out another document and pushed it over.
"This is some information I've been able to find about that person. I know you and Teacher Ye have a very good relationship..."
He Tong raised his hand again to interrupt: "Alright, we will deal with the people."
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the documents on the table and turned away.
Just before He Tong opened the door, Feng Yingjun, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly called out to him, "Teacher He!"
He Tong turned sideways and saw Feng Yingjun stand up and run towards him, bowing deeply.
"I was sorry for what happened to Mr. Ye before. But I didn't lie at the time. My sister is indeed his fan. Later, when she got his autograph, she was very happy. And last time, I really appreciate you taking me in that night!"
He Tong looked at the top of her head and suddenly smiled softly.
"I'll tell Brother Ye about your sister's matter. Your personality really isn't suited to the entertainment industry. Find a stable job and live a good life with your lover."
After saying this, He Tong opened the door and walked out.
◇◆◇
Ye Yuze, who had just finished taking a shower, opened the door while drying his hair, only to find He Tong with a droopy head.
"Brother..." He Tong raised his head and gave Ye Yuze a smile without a smile on his face.
Ye Yuze looked at him, took a few pieces of paper from his hands, walked back while reading, and threw the towel he used to wipe his hair aside.
He Tong followed listlessly and sat on the sofa in the living room without saying a word.
Ye Yuze quickly glanced through the papers, threw them aside, and turned to look at He Tong.
"Is this the guy who forced Feng Yingjun to jump into the river that night?"
"Um."
"They asked you to deal with him." Ye Yuze used an affirmative sentence.
He Tong nodded, then shook his head.
Ye Yuze raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
"That guy..." He Tong thought of the dirty words in the recording and gnashed his teeth in anger. "How dare he have such a desire for you? Damn it."
Ye Yuze chuckled. "Is it worth it for such a thing? He's just an upstart. If we set up a trap and cut off his funding chain, we can crush him in less than a month."
"That's not it." He Tong rubbed his hair irritably. "I just suddenly realized how useless I am."
Ye Yuze was surprised: "What do you mean?"
He Tong drooped his eyebrows in frustration. "I really want to deal with him myself. I wish I could drag him out and give him a good beating. But after thinking about it, I think it's up to you, brother, to defeat the King of Cooling Heaven."
Ye Yuze couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He Tong felt wronged: "You laugh at me..."
Ye Yuze rubbed his head and squatted down to face him.
"Is there any difference between me dealing with him and you dealing with him?" Ye Yuze reached out and pinched He Tong's nose. "Stop pretending. When have you ever been so distant with me?"
He Tong held his breath for a while, but finally let out a muffled laugh: "It's really hard to fool someone who has become a movie star."
Ye Yuze loosened his hand and patted him on the face again.
"Besides, you're useless in every way. If it weren't for you last year, I might have been hit on the head, or I might have been hit by Ye Zexu who was waiting downstairs..."
He Tong's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover Ye Yuze's mouth.
"Don't talk about that!"
Ye Yuze blinked in confusion.
He Tong came to his senses and quickly let go of his hand. Instead, he held Ye Yuze's shoulders and said seriously, "Brother, don't mention that unlucky guy anymore!"
Ye Yuze readily coaxed Mao: "Okay, let's not talk about him."
He Tong was a little dazed.
That name was like a switch. The memories of his previous life, which he had not recalled for a long time, swept over him like a flood. The face of Ye Yuze in front of him overlapped with the pale and thin face in his previous life.
"He Tong?"
Ye Yuze watched the person in front of him go from being stunned to losing focus, and frowned slightly.
He Tong said blankly: "Brother...?"
"Um."
He Tong's hand moved to Ye Yuze's face, slowly tracing his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, and finally lifting his cheeks.
“…Yozawa?”
"I am here."
Ye Yuze raised his hands and gently placed them on the back of He Tong's hands.
He Tong finally regained his composure, but in the next moment he was lost in the hazy atmosphere caused by the close distance.
He couldn't help but lean over and rubbed the other person with his nose. After finding that the person in front of him did not run away, he boldly lowered his head and kissed the lips that had been attracting him.
a long time……
He Tong raised his head reluctantly only when he felt the pain of his hair being pulled.
Ye Yuze calmed his breath while pulling He Tong's arm.
"...Pull me up...my legs are numb from squatting..."
He Tong chuckled, bent down, carried the person to the sofa, and then leaned over to kiss him.
Ye Yuze dealt with it for a long time, but finally couldn't help but push the person away.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
He Tong held his brother Ye tightly and refused to let go.
"Why are you still chasing me away? I thought I could stay."
Ye Yuze rubbed his head and said, "Let's talk about it after we wrap up. There will be fight scenes every day for the next half month."
He Tong rested his chin on Ye Yuze's shoulder and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, like a big clingy dog.
"I won't take on such arduous roles anymore. It's such a waste of time."
Ye Yuze chuckled: "Stop it."
"Okay, no more trouble. Let's talk for five more minutes. I don't want to leave."
"What are you talking about?"
He Tong tilted his head and thought for a moment. "A few days ago, Uncle Reese let slip to me during a chat that Director Bei actually wanted to find me to make a film. He had been observing me during the two previous times. But the project hasn't been finalized yet."
"I guessed it." Ye Yuze lazily twisted He Tong's hair with his fingers. "Otherwise, considering his personality, he shouldn't have insisted on taking you to archery last time when I was feeling unwell. I guess he was afraid that he would get busy later and there would be no chance again."
"Do you think I should take it?"
Ye Yuze was a little surprised: "You don't want to answer?"
He Tong wrinkled his nose. "If I wasn't the main character, I really wouldn't want to take it. And if it's a film from Country G, I don't know how to speak over there, and it would require dubbing. I don't like having people dub the characters I've created."
Ye Yuze also thought about it carefully: "Judging from his cautious attitude, it is very likely that he is the protagonist. The language is a problem, why don't you learn it first."
He Tong wailed, "Please spare me. I've already lost a lot of skin just being able to speak fluent English!"
Ye Yuze recalled the years of teaching He Tong to speak English and had to agree with this.
"By the way, let's talk about Uncle Reese." He Tong continued to try to find a topic to stall for time. "Hank Company's 120th anniversary celebration is in mid-December, and he invited us to attend."
"You want to go?"
"I'm fine with it, but the Golden Carp Awards are coinciding with this time, so I don't think we can leave."
"Do you think 'The Painter' will be nominated?"
"Not only will you be nominated, I think you'll also be able to win the Golden Carp Award. There aren't many competitive candidates for Best Actor this year."
"The Painter has absolutely no chance of winning the Wanhong Award in June."
"Wanhong was voted on by the audience, after all. 'The Painter' is an art film, so its audience is too limited. It can't be played normally when it's presented to the general public. But if it's judged by industry insiders, it's a different story."
He Tong got excited on the spur of the moment and started counting on his fingers the possible awards that "Painter" could win, and Ye Yuze let him stay.
Just when He Tong and Ye Yuze were chatting, at the same time, because of a poster, the fans of Tongze, who didn't know that their CP had become a reality, also exploded in the group.
