Chapter 43 (Update 1)
In the valley surrounded by lush trees, there is a huge dark pit, which is a completely collapsed ancient tomb.
The swordsman stood on the hillside and looked down. The wind blowing from below lifted his dirty clothes.
Not far behind him was a group of equally dirty men and women, most of whom were injured. They were sitting or lying down, lamenting that they had escaped with their lives.
Feeling someone approaching, the swordsman turned his head and saw the cold profile of Leng Shuyi.
The swordsman smiled and said to the other party, "There's no need to keep chasing me for duels. I can't beat you now."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand. Beneath the torn sleeve, a scar snaked up along his wrist.
The young swordsman did not look at the swordsman's arm, but looked straight into his eyes.
"No, I'm not as good as you."
The swordsman chuckled again and patted He Tong on the back.
The young man turned his head and looked at the collapsed ancient tomb below.
After a long while, he whispered, "You said... is he still alive?"
The swordsman also looked down: "I can only say, I hope he is still alive."
At this moment, a flash of red seemed to pass through the darkness.
The young man widened his eyes slightly.
The swordsman turned his head to look at him: "What did you see?"
The young man also looked at the swordsman.
Two pairs of equally clear eyes looked at each other.
Finally, the hard lines of muscle on the young man's face slowly relaxed. He lowered his eyes and shook his head.
The swordsman's lips twitched, as if about to smile, but he suppressed his smile. He turned around, pulling the young man with him, and walked towards the others.
"Let's go."

"Card!"
Liu Ke called for a stop, and then watched the replay on each monitor one by one.
Everyone was waiting nervously.
Finally, Liu Ke gave a thumbs-up: "Passed. Finished!"
Everyone immediately cheered.
Chen Zheng, who was standing side by side with He Tong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I hope we can work together again in the future. It's been a long time since I've been able to finish a scene so smoothly."
The coldness on He Tong's face had long since faded, and he replied modestly, "You're the one who led the show well."
Chen Zheng laughed heartily. "You don't have to be so modest. I can tell you and Yu Ze both have Oscar-winning acting skills. I'm sure we'll see you both at the Golden Carp Awards this year."
"Then I'll borrow Brother Chen's good words."
After a few brief words, the two went their separate ways.
He Tong walked briskly back to his nanny car. When he got in, he saw Ye Yuze, who had just come back to catch up on his sleep, open his eyes. He leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his lips.
"Brother, it's finished!"
Ye Yuze pushed him away: "Hurry up and take off your makeup, it's dirty."
He Tong chuckled, opened the car door and asked Aya and Xiaoyu to come over to take off his hood and remove his makeup.
"We'll have the wrap-up banquet tonight, and we'll be able to go back to Yancheng tomorrow. I haven't been back for five months, and I miss home so much."
Lingling happened to walk by and said with a smile: "The boss has always been by your side, little boss, you still miss home."
He Tong raised his eyebrows: "How can it be the same? A hotel bed is never as comfortable as a bed at home. Right, brother?"
Ye Yuze was too lazy to pay attention to him and only asked Lingling: "What's the matter?"
Lingling nodded and lowered her voice: "Based on recent observations, I have a guess - Aunt Qin seems to be in the Tongze fan group."
Hearing this, He Tong and Ye Yuze looked at each other.
Lingling asked hesitantly, "Should we find it and give it special care?"
Ye Yuze curled his lips slightly: "No, let her play as she pleases."
◆◇◆
After five months, He Yitong returned to his long-missed home and threw himself into the soft sofa as soon as he entered the living room.
"If you don't come back, I'll forget what home is like!"
He buried his head in the pillows and made a muffled sound.
Uncle Zou cheerfully brought the drinks and asked, "How long can you stay at home this time?"
Ye Yuze naturally squeezed in next to He Tong and sat down while saying, "Half a month. I'll join the crew again in mid-November, but next time we'll only need to shoot for about fifty days."
Uncle Zou said, "That's good," and was about to pull the two suitcases.
He Tong quickly sat up and said, "Uncle Zou, don't worry. I'll take it up and clean it up later."
Uncle Zou didn't insist and just said, "Okay, I'll go see how dinner is going."
"Brother," He Tong said while holding up his cup to hide the corners of his lips, "I was thinking, since we don't have much to do these two weeks, why don't we just stay at home and give the four bodyguards a break. The last time they had a break was before the New Year."
Ye Yuze looked up.
He Tong put on a considerate and obedient look and said, "What do you think? If something happens and I need to go out, I can ask Big Brother to temporarily transfer a few people."
Ye Yuze chuckled: "It's up to you."
He Tong grinned back, gulped down his drink, stood up, picked up his two suitcases and walked towards the stairs.
"It's not time for dinner yet, let's clean up first."
Ye Yuze also stood up and followed slowly behind.
After dinner and taking a shower, He Tong went straight into Ye Yuze's bedroom.
But I came back empty-handed. There was no one in the room. I guess he went to the study to do some work.
He Tong smiled and didn't look for anyone. He just lay down on the bed and started browsing his phone alone.
Maybe it was because the bed at home was too comfortable, or maybe it was because he was too relaxed at home, but he felt sleepy while brushing his teeth, and finally couldn't hold on and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He Tong didn't know how long he slept. In a daze, he felt someone gently pushing him, so he forced himself to open half of his eyes to look.
“…Yozawa?”
"Yeah." Ye Yuze responded and continued to push him, "Move over here. The whole bed is occupied by you."
He Tong narrowed his eyes and moved slowly back. When he felt the space beside him was concave, he stretched out his arms and hugged the person, then leaned his head over and kissed him randomly, biting Ye Yuze's chin.
Ye Yuze's face was itchy because of the hair rubbing against him, so he had to reach out and push his head.
"Don't make trouble, just go to sleep if you are tired."
He Tong buried his head in Ye Yuze's neck, humming and muttering, "I'm not sleepy anymore. Wait for me to wake up and take a nap."
Ye Yuze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put his hand around the back of He Tong's neck and squeezed it gently, coaxing him softly, "Go to sleep. I won't run away."
He Tong continued to hum, "Then I'll sleep here from now on."
Ye Yuze kissed his eyelids: "Whatever you want. Go to sleep, I'm tired too."
Only then did He Tong fall asleep contentedly holding the person in his arms.
For the previous two weeks, they had been staying in a small mountain hotel, taking a nanny car to the filming location every day. They also had to hang on wires for several hours to do the fight scenes. Even the young and strong would be exhausted. Now that they were back home, they relaxed and fell asleep quickly.
But they were young after all, and after a good night's rest, they woke up the next morning full of energy.
So He Tong sincerely apologized for going to bed first last night.
After finishing, he wiped his hands and raised his eyebrows: "Brother, didn't you say you sleep naked at home?"
Ye Yuze glanced at him lazily: "I lied to you, and you believed it."
He Tong chuckled and moved closer, deliberately lowering his voice and saying, "There will be many opportunities in the future."
Ye Yuze picked up his pajamas and covered his head with them, pushed him away, sat up and adjusted his bathrobe.
"You should take a shower quickly too, you're all sweaty." After saying that, Ye Yuze went into the bathroom first.
He Tong pulled off his pajamas, whistled out of tune, and went back to his room next door to take a shower.
When the two people who had been dawdling finally came downstairs, the diligent and responsible Uncle Zou immediately arranged a sumptuous brunch for them.
When they were almost done eating, Ye Yuze suddenly said, "Let's move to the master bedroom on the second floor."
He Tong, who was chewing on a pancake, was stunned.
Ye Yuze wiped his mouth and said, "My bedroom on the third floor is a bit small. You can't move a lot of your things in."
He Tong scratched his head: "It's okay, our room is right next to it anyway, I can just go over and get what I need."
The master bedroom on the second floor was always empty. Except when Uncle Zou brought someone in to clean it, no one would normally open it. Everyone assumed it was the room Ye Yuze kept as a memorial to his parents.
Of course, this villa was not where he and his parents lived before. In order not to remind them of their past, it had been sealed off long ago.
However, when decorating this villa, Ye Yuze still chose a layout similar to that of his old home. He left the largest master bedroom on the second floor empty, and lived on the third floor with He Tong. Only Uncle Zou lived in the second bedroom on the second floor.
Now that he offered to move in, it was indeed a bit surprising.
Ye Yuze, however, remained calm and said, "Originally, my parents bought this villa so I could live alone, and their things are all left in the old house. Since we need it now, there's no need to leave it empty. Even though our rooms are next to each other, it's still inconvenient for you to keep running back and forth."
He Tong carefully observed his expression, confirming that he didn't seem to mind, and then said, "It's okay for me. Besides, the study and gym we use most are on the third floor, so it's more convenient to live there."
At this time, Uncle Zou, who had been listening nearby, interrupted and said, "How about this? We can connect your two rooms on the third floor to form one large bedroom. I remember that wall isn't load-bearing, so it can be renovated."
He Tong snapped his fingers and agreed, "That's a good idea!"
Uncle Zou continued with a smile, "As for the master bedroom on the second floor, it can be converted into an audio-visual room. Your work now requires a lot of space, and the current audio-visual room is a bit small, and there's no room for a projection screen. Once we move it to the large room over here, we can free it up for you to play VR games."
Ye Yuze asked, "Won't it disturb your rest?"
Uncle Zou waved his hand. "It's okay. My room is diagonally opposite. Just make sure it's soundproof and it won't have any impact. After you join the team next month, I'll find someone to clean it up, and it'll be ready for you when you come back."
Ye Yuze nodded and agreed, then said, "Let Jin Ming bring those reality show plans to us tomorrow."
Jin Ming is the CEO of Zhilei. Uncle Zou agreed and went out to make a phone call.
He Tong finished his pancake in two or three bites and asked while drinking milk, "Zhi Lei decided to do a reality show?"
"Major TV stations have already matured their indoor variety shows, so the investment required to compete is huge. The board is more optimistic about the prospects of reality shows."
"That's great. Once it's finalized, we can also participate in a few episodes to help boost popularity."
The relaxing and happy vacation lasted for more than ten days in the blink of an eye, and it was time to join the crew again.
But recently, Ye Yuze suddenly had a big trouble.
