Chapter 96 Birthday Gift Can You Hug Me?
In fact, Zhou Youlan did not make any exaggerated scene, nor did he tell anyone about Wei Wei's birthday. He knew that Wei Wei did not like being surrounded by crowds.
This time, Zhou chose an outdoor location for the tour, not far from the shooting spot.
He arranged for someone to rent the place a few days in advance. Actually, there was nothing special about it. He just thought the flowers there were beautiful and gorgeous, and the scenery looking down from there was unique. He thought Wei Wei would like such a place.
Apart from filming these days, he has been secretly learning to cook without Wei Wei's knowledge, so he didn't notice that Wei Wei had gone out at night.
When Wei Wei was brought to the mountain by the giant monkey, he didn't know that Zhou Youlan was going to celebrate his birthday.
I just saw a flower bed that had been carefully decorated, with a few words "Happy Birthday" in English hanging on the wall.
"Whose birthday is it?"
"Yours, Happy Birthday!" said the Monkey. "You didn't forget your own birthday, did you?"
Wei Wei was stunned. He really had forgotten.
I really didn't expect it.
I don't know how Zhou Youguan discovered this place. The wild flowers are lush and colorful. The view from the halfway point is excellent. In the distance, the mountains are connected, the overlapping hills are shrouded in heavy mist, but the sky is clear.
It can be seen that Zhou Youlan put a lot of thought into his tour.
The big monkey did not move forward. Zhou Youguan had reminded them that once Wei Wei arrived, all outsiders could leave.
Zhou Youlan had been waiting for a long time. "Ah'an, you're here."
Wei Yan hasn't celebrated his birthday for many years. Since his parents passed away, he even forgot this day. Every year, Wei Yang would make some cakes, snacks and longevity noodles and send them to him.
"Guess what delicious food I'm going to make for you?" Zhou Youguan was very happy. "I've been learning how to make it for a long time. Try it."
There were seven or eight dishes on the table, as well as a bowl of plain longevity noodles.
Those dishes were actually quite common, but what surprised Wei Wei was that they were all the ones his mother used to make for him, and he liked every one of them.
He never told Zhou Youlan about this.
"I'm sure my cooking won't taste as good as Madam Wei's, but I'll practice hard and make it even more delicious."
Zhou Youlan placed the dishes closer together and pushed them to a place where Wei Wei could easily reach them.
"Try it."
Seeing that Wei Wei didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Zhou Youlan also became a little nervous. "Ah Wei, I don't mean to provoke your pain. I do this just because I'm afraid you will miss home too much."
He and Zhou Yueli quarreled whenever they met, but he couldn't help missing her after being away for so long, let alone Wei Wei.
He just wanted to make some flavors that Wei Wei was familiar with, maybe so he could eat a few more bites.
Wei Wei has lost weight again recently. The work of a martial arts director is hard and consumes a lot of physical energy. Although Zhao Guanjun has very thoughtfully requested that the crew's lunch boxes cannot be casual, it is still not as good as being at home.
He also pieced together a lot of fragmentary information from historical and unofficial historical materials and made these dishes for Wei Wei.
Wei Wei picked up a piece of golden fried chicken. It was slightly spicy, and the sweetness was mostly masked by the spiciness.
It tasted very different from what his mother made, but it was familiar, and he hadn't tasted it in a long time.
Every time their mother cooked this dish, the three brothers would always fight over it, and sometimes they would even fight over a piece of chicken.
In fact, he didn't really want to fight for the food, he just liked to compete. He was always noisy at home, which always gave his mother a headache.
"I'm sorry...did I make you sad?"
Zhou Youlan began to regret that he shouldn't have done these things.
"No." Wei Wei gave him a comforting look, "Thank you."
During many difficult days and nights, he swallowed the overwhelming hatred so bitterly that he had to swallow it again and again. Every time at this time, his mother would appear in his dreams. In his dreams, she would always coax him, make his favorite dishes, cakes, and sweet soups, just hoping to make him happy.
When he was on a hunger strike as usual, he never imagined that the food he was tired of would later become a piercing pain that he would regret for the rest of his life.
"It's delicious." Wei Wei's voice trembled a little, and he buried his head in eating seriously.
Seeing that Wei Wei was eating seriously, Zhou Youlan said, "Have some longevity noodles too. You are the birthday star today. If you can't finish it, have a bite. At least it means longevity and peace."
Wei Wei tasted everything, and he even ate up all the dishes on the table. Zhou Youlan was afraid that he would be too full. In the past, Wei Wei would put down his chopsticks when he was full, so it was rare for him to eat so much.
Then Zhou Youlan took out another cake, which he also made himself.
This was also his first time baking a cake. In fact, he had made many failures, and this was the most successful one.
A three-dimensional Q-version human stand was inserted above the cake. The person was wearing a red ancient costume, with long flowing hair and holding a long sword in his hand. His appearance was obviously a one-to-one replica of Wei Wei's face.
"Hey, I tried to do it too. I drew this little sign myself. I couldn't find any portrait of you in any historical records, so I drew it based on my own guesswork. Doesn't it look pretty similar?"
It was indeed very similar. Wei Wei suddenly realized that it was as if he saw his sixteen-year-old self.
At that time, he liked red the most and was extremely flamboyant.
Then Zhou Youlan took out another box from under the table.
Wei Wei didn't know that he had prepared so much. It must have taken more than a day or two. He must have started preparing a long time ago.
The box was very long and made of an ancient material. Zhou Youxuan placed the box horizontally and pulled Wei Wei to stand in front of the wooden box.
He covered Wei Wei's eyes with one hand and pulled Wei Wei to open the box with the other hand.
"Ah'an, guess what it is first?"
"I can't guess."
Wei Wei really couldn't have guessed that the surprises Zhou Youlan prepared for him were always beyond his expectations and really touched him.
"Oh, okay, okay, I won't keep you in suspense anymore," Zhou Youguan still covered his eyes. "Touch it first and see if you can figure out what it is."
Wei Wei's fingers felt a touch of coldness, and the surface was uneven and long, until he touched the engraving on one side. He pulled away Zhou Youguan's hand that was blocking his view.
What caught his eye was a long sword, which Wei Wei was not unfamiliar with, or rather, it was the one he was most familiar with.
He didn't expect that Zhou Youlan could even find this.
He picked up the sword, and on the inside of the hilt was the word "洐" engraved with a dagger.
It was carved for him by his mother.
"How did you find this?"
This sword was specially made for him by his father from the world's best swordsmith to celebrate his success. It was also his sixteenth birthday gift.
However, after the Wei family was raided, his sword disappeared. Later, he once wanted to get the sword back by offering his merits, but Xiao Chengyun refused him.
Later he searched again, but could not find the sword anymore. Its whereabouts were completely unknown.
Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, this sword reappeared in the world.
"Where did you get it?"
Zhou Youlan: "I bought it from an Italian."
"You know, with the passing of dynasties and the changing of times, many of our country's cultural relics have been lost abroad. When I asked you the other day what you wanted, this suddenly came to mind. Our A'an is a master swordsman, so how could he not have a weapon that suits him?"
"Luckily I found it. I hope Ah-Yuan will be happy."
"Thanks."
Wei Wei was really grateful to him, and he was very happy to get it back.
This is the last legacy left to him by his parents, and the only connection between him and his parents.
"You don't have to thank me. I did this not only to make you happy, but also to compensate you."
After all, the affairs of the Wei family were owed by his Zhou family ancestors.
"No need. Even if there is no Zhou family, there will be others."
Xiao Chengyun is cunning and wants to bring down the Wei family and replace the Zhou family. Zhou Zheng could not escape the emperor's schemes, and Xiao Chengyun kills two birds with one stone.
The chief civil official and the chief military general were the two biggest worries for Xiao Chengyun. Wei Wei had never expected that the timid young man had unknowingly developed such scheming.
"Thank you for doing this for me."
He thought that even if they never met again in this life, the place in his heart would be filled by Zhou Youlan.
Zhou Youguan is very good and a very nice person.
Zhou Youguan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He pressed on, "Well, Ah Yuan, since you're in a good mood now, can you give me a hug?"
Wei Wei hesitated, and Zhou Youxuan took the initiative to hug him, "Forget it, otherwise if you reject me, I won't be able to ask for it a second time."
Wei Wei has never liked getting close to others. Even though Zhou Youlan believes that their relationship has become much closer during this period, he can still feel Wei Wei's distance many times.
Wei Wei smiled helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to hug Zhou Youguan back.
"I will always remember this day." Wei Wei's voice was gentle and calm.
Like a promise, like a farewell.
It was a wonderful night for both of them.
…
The filming progress has been accelerated because the weather forecast says it will rain next week and last for about a week.
Therefore, Zhao Guanjun temporarily postponed the filming of the scenes on the flat ground and filmed the fighting scenes on the cliff first.
Acting opposite Zhou Youlan is Li Chao, a popular young star in the circle. He has always been a good person in the circle and is very hardworking, so it is a pleasure to work with him.
Zhou Youwan asked, "Are you okay? I heard you injured your back while filming. I think you'll be on the ropes all day."
"It's okay, I can hold on."
Zhou Youguan roughly estimated that the distance between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain was about ten meters. In order to highlight the dramatic effect, the mountain wall had been artificially processed to become more steep. There were many protruding sharp stone peaks, which looked very dangerous.
According to the script, they have to fight one-handedly against the mountain wall, so friction with the mountain wall is inevitable, but looking at the actual scene, they will most likely be scratched by the protruding stone tips.
Wei Wei couldn't help but frown when he saw the scene arrangement. He had discussed the script with Zhao Guanjun, but it seemed that Zhao Guanjun had changed this scene again.
"I did make some changes to this scene," Zhao Guanjun said with great anticipation. "I think the setting should be made more sinister. This will heighten the audience's immersive and tense mood, but it will also place higher demands on the actors. But with you, Teacher Wei, there will definitely be no problem."
Wei Wei: “…”
Zhao Guanjun really trusts him too much. After spending time with him on the variety show, Zhao Guanjun has already regarded him as an omnipotent god. In order to present perfect art, he always challenges his limits again and again.
This was nothing to Wei Wei, he was just worried about Zhou Youlan.
