Chapter 77 Meeting the Parents
Although it was already the end of May, the night wind from the north was still slightly chilly, not to mention that Bai You was still lying on the ground.
Meng Qingyan leaned over and held the person in his arms.
"The ground is cold," he said.
Meng Qingyan's embrace was warm, blocking the night wind blowing in through the door.
There was no one in the courtyard, only a tree of bright red pomegranate flowers, which did not change color in the night. The bright red reflected in Bai You's eyes, reminding him of the blood shed by those martyrs in those years.
"Where are the other colleagues in the group?" he asked.
"I asked them to go back to the hotel first." Meng Qingyan said in a low voice.
Only then did Bai You relax and lean into Meng Qingyan's arms without any hesitation.
"I'm not too out of character yet." He said, and then asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"
"I'm here to take you home." Meng Qingyan said.
Hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared in Bai You's eyes. He looked up at Meng Qingyan, and his heart began to be surrounded by warmth little by little.
Meng Qingyan stood up, picked him up, and took him to the dressing room to change clothes.
When passing by the pomegranate tree, Bai You raised his hand, picked a flower, and held it in his palm.
He wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
The moonlight was like water, shining on the long path. Along the way, there were only the chirping of insects and the rustling of the night wind through the bamboo forest.
Quiet and comfortable.
The dressing room was just around the corner, so Meng Qingyan slowed down his pace.
"Miss me?" he asked.
"Yeah." Bai You nodded.
Even though his face was a mess, it could not conceal the clarity and intelligence in his eyes. The moonlight shining into them was like the quiet Milky Way.
Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at him. He did not move forward, but pushed him against the corner and bent down to kiss him.
The sounds of wind, insects, and each other's breathing filled the small corner.
At this moment, longing and sweetness spread wildly.
When their lips parted again, Bai You suddenly laughed. When he saw the stains left by his fingers on Meng Qingyan's face, he remembered his previous makeup.
Blood, dust, and various powders that create scar effects...
The most terrifying thing is his tears.
Not knowing what his already messy face looked like after being washed by tears, Bai You couldn't help but laugh.
Fortunately, Meng Qingyan was able to kiss her.
The light in the dressing room was still on.
After all, he is a close agent. Although he was also sent back to the hotel by Meng Qingyan, Jiang Minyao was somewhat worried. At this moment, she was reading work emails while waiting for Bai You to come back.
When she heard the noise and looked towards the door, the tablet in her hand fell to the ground with a plop.
Although I had some doubts before...
But no one told her that these two people were real!
No, these two people are actually real, right?
Otherwise, why would it be in this posture?
Moreover, Bai You’s face looked like a little kitten from crying, but a young master like Meng Qingyan didn’t even look down on her.
Ahhhhhhhhh…
Who could have known that the first rumor Jiang Minyao spread would actually come true?
Jiang Minyao's face showed no expression, but her heart couldn't help but beat fast.
She stood up and stepped on the platform she had just fallen off.
Jiang Minyao: “…”
Bai You was amused by her expression and couldn't help laughing. The show was really out of place at this moment.
"I'll buy you a new one later," he said.
"Then I'll go back to the hotel first?" Although it was a question, it was obvious that Jiang Minyao had no intention of staying. She hurriedly picked up the tablet with the broken screen and ran out like a frightened rabbit.
Seeing this, Meng Qingyan couldn't help laughing.
He pushed Bai You against the dressing table and asked, "Why didn't you even tell the people around you?"
Bai You was speechless when he saw his tear-stained face in the mirror. He couldn't help but sigh that Meng Qingyan's acting skills were really superb, as she could still look at him with such affection.
"Am I really that incompetent?" Meng Qingyan asked again, "When will it be made public?"
Bai You: “…”
"Openly, openly," he said with a smile, but quickly added, "I'll make it public when I win a trophy and have some leverage that won't be unacceptable to everyone."
"No way, Mr. Bai," Meng Qingyan looked down at him with a half-smile, "So in your heart, I'm not as important as the trophy?"
Bai You laughed even more happily.
"You are as important as the trophy." After a while, he raised his hand and cupped Meng Qingyan's cheek, leaving a few fingerprints of indistinguishable color on his face again, and then jumped out of his arms with a smile.
The two of them laughed and joked while removing their makeup and washing themselves. After they were generally refreshed, Bai You changed her clothes and called Liu Ben.
"Are you here now?" Liu Ben asked on the phone.
"Coming." Bai You said.
"Go back to the hotel and take a hot bath quickly to avoid catching a cold," Liu Ben said. "I've asked someone to order some hot porridge for you. It will be sent to the hotel kitchen later. When you arrive, ask them to heat it up and send it up for you."
"Thank you, teacher." Bai You's eyes curved.
The film has been completed, but there are still many things on the set that need to be sorted out and put in place, so the staff will probably be busy for a while.
Bai You will probably take a few days off before continuing with his work, so he asks Liu Ben if he needs to stay and help.
"No need. They have to be professionals to dismantle the set and pack up everything," Liu Ben said, and reminded him, "Let them take a wrap-up photo for you. Our team will use it for the blog post later."
Every teacher will be given a bouquet of flowers by the team when they finish filming.
Bai You’s flowers are still lying in the prop room, a bunch of white lilies.
He took it and held it in his arms, tilted his head slightly, and was frozen in Meng Qingyan's camera.
That night, the Fireworks crew officially announced that the film had been completed, and netizens who had already watched all of Bai You's works many times became excited.
[Ahhhhhh, finally, there is hope in life again. 】
[It’s already this late, don’t the film producers really consider revealing what the story of Fireworks is? I’m so anxious. 】
[I only know it’s a “popular” drama, but it took half a year to shoot, so there’s probably a lot of war scenes, right? 】
[I'm so curious about what kind of role Bai You plays in this movie. If it's just a traditional anti-Japanese war movie, I feel like he's a little too naive. 】
[Don't worry, Liu Ben's team has always been professional, and the trailer will be released soon. 】
[I really want to see it this year, ahhhhhh, I get anxious when I think about how long I have to wait. 】
[If there are a lot of war scenes, the post-production cycle will be very long, most likely until next year. If there are not too many, it will probably be seen during this year's National Day or Spring Festival. Director Liu Ben's team is very mature and efficient, so you shouldn't have to wait too long. 】
[Oh, God, am I the only one who can't bear to watch it so soon? When I think that there won't be any new movies after I finish watching it, I can't help but feel anxious. Bai You, you better join the crew as soon as possible. 】
[Oh my god, the person above is so cruel. He hasn’t even left the group yet. Even cows and horses don’t use him like this, right? However..., I also hope that Bai You can rest for a while and join the group earlier. 】
[I'm urged to join the crew. It would be best if I could work with Meng Qingyan on another movie. Although I know the probability is not high, it doesn't stop me from dreaming. 】
[Join the group. Join the group. @Bai You.] 】
【……】
While Meng Qingyan was at Liu Ben's place, Jiang Minyao ran over to inquire about the news.
"Are you two serious?" She was in her thirties and had never been so sneaky. Asking a question was like being a thief.
Bai You didn't hide it from her. He had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. His black hair fell softly on his forehead, and his beautiful eyes curved up gently and sweetly: "Yeah."
"Damn it, when did it happen?" Jiang Minyao was shocked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask me," Bai You laughed and teased her again, "Didn't you tell Mr. Zhu about it before? I thought you knew it a long time ago."
Jiang Minyao: "..., you were together at that time, right?"
Bai You didn't say anything else and looked at the follow-up work plan arranged for him by Jiang Minyao.
"The previous endorsements I signed required me to shoot magazines and advertising videos," Jiang Minyao said, "and there were also some activities arranged by the brand."
"Yeah." Bai You nodded.
After Building No. 8 was released, many brands approached Bai You, but after comprehensive consideration, Bai You finally only accepted three endorsements.
They are all brands with double S-level positioning and reputation.
Taking endorsements can indeed make quick money, but as an actor, Bai You has never forgotten his original intention.
"Performing the trick well" is more important than anything else.
In addition, he also wanted to set aside time to spend with his family and Meng Qingyan.
Although falling in love and starting a new family were not part of his original plan, it did not affect his cherishment of these things now.
The cell phone rang, Jiang Minyao lowered her head and clicked it.
After taking a few glances, she couldn't help but sigh: "Damn! These netizens are so cruel."
"What's wrong?" Bai You raised his eyes.
"Everyone is urging you to join the crew." Jiang Minyao laughed so hard, and then she remembered something, "You have to hurry up and finalize those scripts, and keep up with the subsequent works."
Bai You glanced at her.
"What?" Jiang Minyao suddenly felt guilty when she realized that her thoughts were the same as those of netizens.
"I want to rest for a while this time," Bai You looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "because there is still a tough battle to fight."
"What tough battle?" Jiang Minyao asked puzzledly.
"We have to face Meng Qingyan's parents together," Bai You said shamelessly, holding up his chin, "After all, they will be my parents in the future."
Although I have always regarded Jin Lai as my father in my heart, I have always called him "Uncle Jin".
When the word "Dad" came out of his mouth at this moment, Bai You felt a moment of subtlety in his heart.
“Tsk tsk tsk…” Jiang Minyao looked at him.
"It's just that 'Dad' is a bit serious." Bai You didn't care about Jiang Minyao's teasing expression that her nose wasn't a nose and her eyes weren't eyes, and asked her for advice, "Have you ever come into contact with this kind of person?"
Jiang Minyao: “…”
"Brother," Jiang Minyao couldn't help but complain, "He's the chairman of Meng's Jewelry. How can I get in touch with him?"
Then he couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Don't keep calling me dad and mom. You'll lose your value if you keep calling me dad and mom. Do you know that?"
"Why is it worthless?" The door opened, Meng Qingyan walked in, and asked Bai You, "The furniture I ordered for Mom will be delivered the day after tomorrow. You can go and take a look then, and change it if there's anything you don't like."
Jiang Minyao was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "mom" Meng Qingyan mentioned should be referring to Bai You's mother Bai Xiuxi.
The house that Bai You bought was just renovated a while ago, so isn’t it time to move in the furniture now?
All right...
Jiang Minyao didn't dare to be a light bulb, so she quietly packed up her things and prepared to leave.
However, the moment the door closed, she heard Bai You imitating her speech again.
"Meng Qingyan," Bai You laughed, "Don't call me mom all the time. You'll lose your value if you keep asking for it like this, don't you know?"
