Chapter 72 Chapter 72
He Xianyu jumped out of bed in panic, only to find that he was wearing pajamas. But he clearly remembered that he did not wear this outfit last night.
Seeing his terrified look, Xiao Qinghe explained, "You got drunk and vomited all over yourself last night, so I changed it for you."
He Xianyu's face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he spoke with difficulty: "How did you change it?"
"How else can you change? Just take off your dirty clothes and put on clean clothes." Xiao Qinghe didn't expect He Xianyu to be so shy, and added considerately, "Don't worry, I didn't look at places I shouldn't have looked at."
He Xianyu was so embarrassed that she almost dug a luxurious villa with her toes. "Then why am I in your room?"
"You were drunk last night and insisted on coming to my room, saying, 'Brother can just hold me while we sleep.'" Xiao Qinghe checked his phone and saw that it was already six o'clock. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He Xianyu followed and said anxiously, "I don't remember what happened last night. Did I say anything nonsense?"
Xiao Qinghe squeezed the toothpaste and said, "That's too much. You hugged me and said that you don't belong to this world at all. You and your mother were both from a book, and I was the villain in the book. You also said that I was too beautiful, so you must not let me become evil."
He Xianyu screamed: "What?!"
It is said that alcohol can cause trouble. Our ancestors were not deceiving us.
He Xianyu was so upset that his intestines turned green.
He didn't expect that his alcohol tolerance was so poor. He was drunk after two glasses of wine and blurted out all kinds of things.
He Xianyu covered his forehead and said, "I am not in my right mind and I am talking nonsense. It's all fake. Brother, please don't believe me."
Xiao Qinghe paused while holding the toothbrush, "'I'm too good-looking' is also fake?"
"That's true!" He Xianyu ran back to her room.
He threw himself onto the bed and buried his head in the quilt.
I have never been so embarrassed in this life, no, in both of my lives!
At nine o'clock in the morning, He Xianyu took the SUV of the variety show crew and unexpectedly saw Gu Zeye in the car.
He reminded: "Master, I'm going to work, not to play."
"I know. I'm going to work too." Gu Zeye looked at him and smiled happily. "I heard that your program allows people to experience different professions, which is very interesting, so I asked the director if I could go flying."
Gu Zeye is extremely popular. The director was so happy that his face broke. How could he refuse?
He Xianyu gave him a shot of caution: "It is indeed very interesting. However, the recording process is quite tiring."
Four episodes of "Born Fearless" have been recorded.
In the first episode, he went to the secret room as an NPC. After a day's work, He Xianyu's ears were almost deafened by the noise of tourists.
The second episode is about the life of a deliveryman. He worked hard all day to deliver 18 orders, and was complained by customers because he delivered to the wrong address.
In the third episode, he was an extra in Hengdian. He played a student protesting in a Republican drama, a Japanese soldier killed in a bombing in a war film, and a passerby in a costume film.
In the fourth episode, Director Jin finally stopped bothering the regulars and let them play Werewolf of the Three Kingdoms. He Xianyu killed everyone in this episode and contributed many highlights.
The residents gathered in the lobby of a hotel.
We haven't seen each other for a long time. First, we congratulated He Xianyu on winning the college entrance examination, and then welcomed the guest star Gu Zeye.
Director Jin asked: "Xiao Gu, why do you want to participate in our variety show?"
Gu Zeye gave the production team a very satisfactory answer: "I heard from He Xianyu that your variety show is very interesting."
Not long after, a driver named Zhang drove a van and took Xiao Gu and Xiao He to a residential building.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Gu Zeye would have had no idea that there were such dilapidated buildings in the capital.
This is an old building built in the 1970s and 1980s. A large piece of paint has fallen off the exterior of the building, revealing a mottled wall. There was once a rumor that this place was going to be demolished. I don’t know if the sky-high demolition cost scared away a bunch of developers, and the demolition was never done. Most of the original residents moved out and rented this place to migrant workers.
"Master, are we here to show our love?" Gu Zeye was brought by Gu Junshan to do charity when he was a child. So when he first saw this house, he thought he was going to show his love to the poor.
The master looked at Gu Zeye as if he were an idiot, then took out work clothes and labor protection gloves.
Gu Zeye blinked, "What do you mean?"
"We'll install the air conditioner at your door." The master opened the back of the van and said to his two apprentices, "Move it."
Gu Zeye was dumbfounded, but he still obediently carried the air conditioner out of the car with He Xianyu.
The interior of the old house is even more dilapidated. The narrow stairs, rusty handrails, and dilapidated walls are all signs of time.
Their clientele lives on the eighth floor.
There is no elevator, so you can only climb up with your own two legs.
Beijing in July has entered a sauna day, the whole city is like a steamer, not to mention the narrow stairs. When the two people arrived at the destination with the air conditioner, they were already sweating profusely.
A middle-aged lady opened the door. I was surprised to find that the person who provided door-to-door service was an artist I had only seen in variety shows.
"Hello, Ms. Xue. Lao Zhang, Xiao He, and Xiao Gu are here to serve you." He Xianyu said, "Where do you want to install the air conditioner?"
Ms. Xue took them to a side bedroom and said, "My son will take the college entrance examination next year, and I want to create a good living environment for him."
Ms. Xue and her husband are both sanitation workers. They are not well educated, but they will do their best to support the next generation and install the only air conditioner in the house for him.
After Master Zhang skillfully installed the wall mounted unit, Gu Zeye handed the air conditioner remote control to Ms. Xue, "It's ready, you can use it now."
He Xianyu felt that the Second Young Master Gu lacked common sense in life to a certain extent, and could not help but remind him: "The external unit has not been installed yet."
Before this, Gu Zeye had never seen how an air conditioner was installed. Think about the central air conditioner in his home, wasn't it embedded in the ceiling from the beginning? So he had never thought of the existence of such a thing as an external unit.
Master Zhang put on safety equipment, hung himself in the air, and asked two apprentices to help him move the outdoor unit to the outside of the wall and fix it.
At a height of eight floors, ordinary people would feel their legs go weak and their scalp go numb if they just look down for a few seconds, but for Master Zhang who has been working for more than 20 years, it is a common occurrence.
The sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable. Air conditioning has become the only choice for people to cool down in the summer. Master Zhang quickly received his second installation job of the day and rushed to the next residential building with two apprentices.
It is a mid-range residential complex, and customers living on the fourth floor need to install two air conditioners.
Master Zhang felt that it was time for the two apprentices to become masters, so after fixing the ropes outside the wall, he let them take turns to experience being "high-altitude Spider-Man".
The program crew was also worried about accidents, so they prepared life-saving air cushions and ambulances on the first floor.
He Xianyu, wearing a helmet and a safety belt, was the first to set off.
"Be careful!" Gu Zeye's face was full of worry.
He Xianyu made an OK gesture. With no place to put his feet, his life now depended entirely on the safety rope.
Under the guidance of Master Zhang, He Xianyu experienced a high-altitude "walk in the clouds" and arrived at his destination safely.
He carefully pulled the external unit over, fixed it, and then carefully went back in. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he was hugged by Gu Zeye.
"I was scared to death!" Gu Zeye was still in shock.
He Xianyu patted his back and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Although his legs were still shaking and his voice was trembling, as a man, face is more important than anything else.
Not long after, Gu Zeye also successfully completed his task. When he left the client's house, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Master Zhang drove them to a construction site and bought three boxes of lunch at a stall.
"30 yuan has been credited to my Alipay account."
The voice sounded.
He Xianyu's eyes widened. In this city, a lunch box with two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a bowl of mung bean soup only costs 10 yuan!
The heavy physical labor made them hungry, so the three of them found a shady spot and squatted on the side of the road to eat.
"The people working on the construction site are all migrant workers. They can't afford expensive boxed lunches. So the cheapest meals in Beijing are here. Don't be fooled by the cheapness; they are quite delicious," said Master Zhang while eating.
Although working at heights brings Master Zhang a considerable daily income, his parents are ill, his wife is unemployed, and he has two children in elementary school. The burden of the family falls entirely on him, so he now tries to save as much as possible.
"I hope my child can learn from you, Xiao He, and get into a good university and find an easy job in the future. Then my hard work over the years will be worth it." The master wiped the sweat from his forehead with his rough and cracked hands. Years of wind and sun made his face very dark, but it did not extinguish the light in his eyes.
In the afternoon, Xiao Gu and Xiao He followed Master Zhang to install the air conditioner.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. When the new apprentice Xiao He played Spider-Man again, his legs no longer trembled.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Gu and Xiao He said goodbye to Master Zhang and ended today's shooting task.
Gu Zeye looked at his reward for today - 200 yuan, and said with emotion: "I paid for my life with this little money."
The permanent residents returned to the hotel one after another and complained bitterly at the dining table.
Yan Yan, Han Cheng and Xu Bochuan are working as high-rise cleaners today, responsible for cleaning the exterior walls of the skyscraper.
They fastened their safety belts and descended from the rooftop while cleaning the glass, dipping in water, scrubbing, scraping off the water film... repeating the boring movements.
"It's 200 meters high, I almost peed myself!" Yan Yan was filled with indignation, "Director Jin doesn't treat me as a human being!"
Han Cheng joked, "You are not a human being."
"What did you say?" Yan Yan pretended to be angry and grabbed his neck.
"You are not a human being, because you are our happy pill, and this family will fall apart without you." Han Cheng and Yan Yan have known each other for a long time. Han Cheng likes to tease Yan Yan the most in variety shows, and then use his eloquence to make Yan Yan happy.
As everyone was talking and laughing, the energy of the time returned.
Today, Shi Jin and Xie Weizhi went to the Great Wall to work as sanitation workers.
The Great Wall is high and steep. Cleaning the steep wall is much more difficult than cleaning ordinary scenic spots. After a day of cleaning, the garbage bags are tied tightly with seven or eight meter long braided ropes, and then the garbage is carried down the mountain on the shoulders.
Shi Jin is worthy of being a special forces soldier. After a day of hard work, he is still full of energy and not tired at all.
In sharp contrast to Shi Jin, Xie Weizhi was so tired that he lay on his assistant. But he was in a good mood and whispered something to Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye smiled, revealing two sweet dimples.
"Teacher Huaizhu?" Gu Zeye looked at Xiaoye, unable to hide his inner surprise, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Ye didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here and was stunned for a moment.
He Xianyu asked Gu Zeye curiously: "Do you know Brother Xie's assistant?"
"He is a student sponsored by my father and he used to be my tutor." Gu Zeye was puzzled. "Teacher Ye, aren't you a graduate student? Why are you here to be my assistant?"
He Xianyu was a little confused.
Wait, Ye Huaizhu, Teacher Ye——
Isn’t this the protagonist in “My Contracted Lover is a Cross-Dresser”?
How did he end up in "I ran away after having the major's baby"?
Ye Huaizhu, a cross-dresser, dimples——
There was a thread in He Xianyu's mind that connected all the doubts together.
No wonder he thought those three people didn't look like the murderer that night. It turned out that his thinking was wrong.
Who says that if someone looks like a woman on the outside, they must be a woman on the inside?
This Xiao Ye is probably Xiao Wei.
