Chapter 52 The familiar body temperature once again...
"Meow..." In the silence, Xiaoliang suddenly kicked his hind legs and jumped to the balcony.
Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, Bai You hurriedly bent down and chased after him. While hugging Xiaoliang in his arms, he calmly blocked Meng Qingyan's sight.
Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes and suppressed the corners of his slightly raised lips. It was not until he walked out of Bai You's room, put on his mask and hat, that the smile in his peach blossom eyes was released without restraint.
He had an online meeting in the evening, but it was still early, so he didn't go home, but turned around and went to "Yige."
The night party hasn't officially started yet, but many guests have already arrived at the bar. Meng Qingyan took the special elevator upstairs from the back door without disturbing others.
He asked someone to fetch his collection of wine, and just when he was halfway through waking up, Zhang Qinyang came over, smelling the scent.
"It's said that arriving early is worse than arriving at the right time. I can also try this bottle of Petrus." While happily preparing his own cup, he secretly looked at Meng Qingyan's expression, "You are in a good mood today, right?"
"Is there something?" Meng Qingyan asked.
The last few times he came over, Zhang Qinyang always had a look of wanting to say something but was hesitant to do so. Meng Qingyan knew that he must have something to say.
I wasn't in the mood for it a while ago, but today I can listen to it.
Zhang Qinyang did have something to discuss with Meng Qingyan.
But the first few times Meng Qingyan came over, he was obviously in a bad mood.
His cold face was very intimidating, so Zhang Qinyang put the matter aside and did not dare to go forward to stroke the tiger's whiskers.
Seeing that he took the initiative to ask, he hurriedly said: "I've been considering expanding out and opening a branch recently, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
"It's just a small matter like this," Meng Qingyan didn't care much, "it's up to you to decide."
"You are a big boss after all, so you still have to follow the rules." Zhang Qinyang said, and sent several store locations he had selected. "Can you give me some reference? Which one is more suitable?"
"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. Let's talk about it later." Meng Qingyan glanced at him and said perfunctorily.
Having sobered up, Zhang Qinyang drank a sip with satisfaction, then leaned over and asked, "What? Is there another turnaround with her?"
Meng Qingyan has always been tight-lipped and likes to keep everything to himself, so Zhang Qinyang accidentally got a glimpse of his thoughts.
It wasn't really a misunderstanding or gossip, but Bai You appeared too frequently on the pause screen in Meng Qingyan's screening room.
Zhang Qinyang has always been good at dealing with people, and he actually had a guess in his mind.
Especially since Meng Qingyan entered the industry, any scandal that emerged would be completely strangled by Tianying in the bud.
So in all those years, despite his popularity in the entertainment industry, not even a single serious scandal had been reported about him.
But now, he has never interfered with the small group of fanatics on the Internet who support him and Bai You as a couple, and is quite laissez-faire.
Moreover, he has been chaste for so many years. He has also seen Meng Qingyan when he was even drunker and he would never allow anyone to get close to him. So why did he have sex with Bai You that night?
Zhang Qinyang felt that under his eyes, which were like a magnifying glass, Meng Qingyan was not even a secret crush on him, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an open love.
"What's the turning point?" Meng Qingyan looked at him and leaned deeper into the sofa with his wine glass in hand, but he did not deny it. "It's just that I don't dare to push him too hard, for fear that he will retreat back into his shell."
Indeed, compared to his treatment of other suitors, Bai You's attitude towards him is already
"Don't dare?" Zhang Qinyang's eyes widened instantly, thinking that this word coming out of Meng Qingyan's mouth was simply ridiculous, "Can I ask him what exactly he is dissatisfied with you for? If it were me, I would go and get the marriage certificate with you right now, okay?"
Meng Qingyan laughed and looked at him with disdain.
Meng Qingyan knew very well that Bai You should not be dissatisfied with him.
Because he had felt his body temperature more deeply than anyone else, and had seen him smile sincerely when he let down his guard.
In fact, even now, Bai You has shown a completely different side of him in his attitude towards him.
Maybe he himself hasn't realized it yet, but he never treats him like he treats other suitors. Before he even looks at him, he has already retreated into his shell.
At least now, he could still step into his room.
At least... he hasn't thrown away the evidence of their past intimacy.
However, the hurt and impact his mother's experience brought to him were real.
It is actually not easy for someone who has been determined to be single since the age of six to break the ideas and principles he has held for many years and face his own heart.
Just like a piece of solid ice, even if you want to melt it, you need to simmer it slowly and require a lot of patience.
Meng Qingyan has such patience.
Compared to Bai You's inner shackles, other factors, such as birth, family background, and public opinion...
Those are not the problem.
"Invite him over later," Zhang Qinyang said after two glasses of wine, "I'll personally be your matchmaker."
"No need," Meng Qingyan stood up and kicked the ball back, "If you have so much free time, you can choose the location of the branch yourself."
-
The next day, Tianying sent someone to deliver information related to "fireworks".
It was a thick stack, clearly organized into categories. Bai You's workload was reduced by a lot. He started to go out to buy groceries, learned how to make cat food, and took Xiaoliang out a few times to let it chat with the security uncle in the security booth.
Xiaoliang has a docile personality and is easy to raise, so we don't have to worry about him much.
It's just a habit of mine, I like to fall asleep on someone's lap.
Bai You curled up on the sofa on the balcony and naturally used it to put together the script, which was very convenient.
Then I thought that it would be very comfortable to have such a little thing lying on my legs in winter.
It is already the end of August, and winter is not far away.
In early September, Liu Ben returned to China and arranged a meeting with the main creative team that evening, and also invited Bai You to come over.
That night, everyone met in the hotel room where Liu Ben was staying.
Liu Ben has always been a strict and self-disciplined person. Apart from his love of tea, he has almost no other personal hobbies.
Before leaving, Bai You took a taxi for more than an hour to a famous tea house and carefully selected two good teas to take with him.
After flying for more than ten hours, Liu Ben didn't even have time to adjust to the jet lag and his face still looked a bit tired.
When Bai You walked over, he was making tea. Sitting next to him were his exclusive producer Zhao Kaiyang, assistant directors Qi Fu, Liu Dang, two assistants, and screenwriter Lang Yuan.
Several people were talking about the scenery. Bai You did not interrupt, but naturally took over the job of making tea from Liu Ben.
Then he poured a glass for everyone.
Only after the conversation came to an end did Liu Ben look at Bai You.
"Why are you bringing things with you?" He frowned.
"No," Bai You smiled, "Someone gave me a few cans of tea, and I didn't know if they were good or not, so I brought them to the teacher."
It was also at this moment that Bai You finally had the opportunity to greet the teachers.
"Although Xiaobai is young, he is quite stable." Lang Yuan said.
Before this, all he knew about Bai You was that he was good-looking and lucky enough to get the job at Building No. 8.
When I heard Liu Ben say that Bai You would play the role of "Yuan Man", I felt a little nervous.
When they met at this moment, Bai You's every move was low-key and reserved.
The most valuable thing is that, at such a young age, he has been struggling at the bottom for many years, and now suddenly received two top resources, but he can keep his composure and not be impetuous at all.
He couldn't help but start to change his mind.
"I think he is too cautious," Liu Ben said without comment. "Others come to me from thousands of miles away to build relationships, but he has never taken the initiative to approach me except for sending a blessing message or a gift during the holidays."
"How come you don't know how to use such a good resource?" Lang Yuan laughed. "Remember, when Director Liu starts a new play, be the first one to come and take a seat."
Bai You smiled, but before he could say anything, Liu Ben asked, "Did I tell you everything?"
"Yeah." Bai Jue nodded, "I've read the script too."
"The newly revised script is out," Liu Ben said to Zhang Meng, "Bring a copy over and give one to Bai You."
The rough version was already so well written that Bai You couldn't even imagine how good the revised version would be.
He took the script in his hand and was about to open it when Liu Ben looked at him again and asked, "Have you lost weight again recently?"
Yes, a little bit.
"I don't really like to eat in the summer." Bai You found a reasonable excuse.
Liu Ben frowned for a moment and said, "Go back and have a good meal. It's better to gain some weight before filming. Yuan Man is a rich young master after all."
"Okay." Bai You said.
"Is it about time?" Zhao Kaiyang looked down at his watch. "Qing Yan hasn't come yet?"
Hearing this, Bai You sat up straighter and realized that Meng Qingyan would also be coming.
"It's normal for the plane to be late," Liu Ben also checked the time, "Wait a little longer."
As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Zhang Meng went to open the door and Meng Qingyan walked in.
He was dressed in black, which made him look tall and graceful. Although he had been flying for a long time, his features were bright and he did not show any sign of tiredness.
"It's still good to be young." Liu Ben couldn't help but sigh.
The table is not big, and although everyone has moved the chairs a little further away, it still seems a bit crowded.
Just as Qi Fu was about to make room next to Liu Ben, Meng Qingyan had already looked towards Bai You.
"Don't bother," he said, "I'll just sit next to Teacher Bai."
Hearing this, Zhang Meng hurriedly moved another chair over and placed it next to Bai You.
Meng Qingyan bent down, and the familiar smell of cedar came over him instantly, strong and lingering.
Bai You lowered his eyes calmly and saw his black leather shoes appear in front of his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Qingyan sat down, and his long legs wrapped in black trousers were inconspicuously pressed against Bai You's legs.
Through the thin clothes, the familiar body temperature invaded me again.
Bai You just picked up the water cup and took a sip, when he choked and almost lost his composure.
"With the recent change of seasons, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and many of my colleagues have caught colds." Hearing the noise, Meng Qingyan turned his head and looked over without changing his expression, with a meaningful smile in his peach blossom eyes, "Did Teacher Bai get sick too?"
Bai You has fair skin, and after two coughs, a light layer of pink appeared on her snow-white cheeks, and her long eyelashes were stained with a barely perceptible moisture.
Meng Qingyan looked at him, the smile in his eyes remained unchanged, but his eyes unconsciously deepened a little.
Then he lowered his eyes slightly, took out a candy from somewhere and handed it to Bai You.
"Throat lozenges, mango flavor," he asked, his voice muffled, "I wonder if Mr. Bai likes it?"
