"Li Wan." Xiao Ze caught up from behind, his voice tense.
Li Wan suddenly grabbed his arm and hugged him, then turned to Xiao Zening's cold face and said as if nothing had happened, "Let's go to another restaurant."
Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react, then he slowly nodded and said okay.
After a moment, he explained: "I said that was your place."
Li Wan said: "I know, I heard it."
She walked out of the restaurant arm in arm with Xiao Ze.
Tang Xining watched the two people leave intimately, and put on her sunglasses again to cover her cold little face and jealous eyes.
......
The two had lunch at the western restaurant next door.
Li Wan ordered two non-alcoholic cocktails to celebrate her successful signing.
"Congratulations." Xiao Ze's cold eyes and brows were warmed by the warm light above his head.
Li Wan was in a good mood and was not affected by the incident at all.
After lunch, Xiao Ze returned to the company and Li Wan went home.
......
Li Wan suddenly became busy. Although the recording had not started yet, she had to attend meetings every day. The program crew did not believe in her cooking skills at first, so they invited a well-known chef in the industry to teach Li Wan. However, after teaching for a long time, the chef told the program crew that Li Wan's cooking level was already professional and he could not teach her anything more.
After the anime voiced by Li Wan was released, Gu Yu's dubbing received numerous praises.
The previous doubts also disappeared after the feature film was released.
When Li Wan was dubbing, she tried to keep her voice as close to that of the previous voice actor as possible, so that the audience who had watched the first two seasons would not feel uncomfortable with it. However, her voice had a few more traces of cool and ethereal air than the previous voice actor's, and her control over emotional details was also extremely delicate.
Whenever Gu Yu appears in the barrage, there are people praising the dubbing.
Xiao Xiao and Lu Ziwang both started following this anime because of Li Wan. Xiao Xiao even proudly said in class that the role of Gu Yu was voiced by her mother, which surprised and envious her classmates.
After a period of preparation, "After Dinner" finally started recording.
The first guest invited was Xue Yao.
It also caught up with the popularity of Xue Yao’s interview a while ago.
Besides Sister Yu's favor, another reason Xue Yao was able to come was that the host was Li Wan.
"I didn't have enough fun last time, so I came again."
Xue Yao took the initiative to come to Li Wan's lounge to greet her.
He was wearing a white sweatshirt and black jeans today, looking like a college student, neat and clean.
Li Wan was putting on makeup and said with a smile, "Thank you."
She had heard about it. Originally, Xue Yao had other schedules, and Xue Yao never liked participating in this kind of program that digs into one's inner thoughts, so he wanted to turn it down. But when he heard that the host would be Li Wan, he agreed, and told the people in the program team that he came just because the host was Li Wan.
This can be regarded as giving her a lot of face in front of the program team.
"What are you thanking me for? I came here because I heard there was food to eat." Xue Yao pulled a chair and sat next to her: "Is your cooking delicious?"
Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "You will know in a moment."
Xue Yao said: "I have never cooked before, I will help you later."
Li Wan smiled and said, "No problem."
After Li Wan finished putting on makeup and styling her hair, she went out with Xue Yao to prepare for the recording.
During the first recording session, Sister Yu came to the scene in person. She asked Li Wan, "Are you not nervous?"
Li Wan said: "Not bad."
Sister Yu smiled and said, "I don't think you look nervous. Okay, let's get started. Relax a little."
The program starts recording.
The program process can be said to be full of problems, but in variety shows, problems are not a bad thing. On the contrary, it can achieve an unexpected effect. For example, Xue Yao was cutting onions until he burst into tears, and then he rubbed his eyes with his hands. He almost died on the spot, and was splashed by the oil in the pot and bounced back. Later, he used the pot lid as a shield. He has mysophobia, and Li Wan asked him to wash the onions, and he washed them for a full five minutes.
When Li Wan was cooking, he kept muttering that he didn't like eating squid. But when it was time to eat, he ended up eating two large bowls of rice with the spicy squid.
The process of their conversation was very natural. Xue Yao was in a very relaxed state, muttering to himself like Tang Monk chanting beside Li Wan. No matter what topic Li Wan threw out, he could extend the topic infinitely. He seemed surprised at everything and would occasionally play tricks on Li Wan. These were the sides of him that fans and the public usually didn't see.
While they were eating, the two chatted about some interesting and relaxing topics, during which Xue Yao kept praising Li Wan's delicious cooking.
After dinner, the two sat in the tea room drinking tea, and the topic began to get deeper.
Xue Yao, who was very extroverted when cooking and eating, now became introverted as he sat on a mat on the floor holding a cup of tea.
The two talked about many topics that Xue Yao had never discussed in previous interviews.
Although Xue Yao looks like someone who looks rich, he is actually from a poor family. He debuted because his family was poor and he wanted to make more money, so he debuted. He went out to work before graduating from high school and was discovered in a barber shop. This is also his biggest black spot. With his low education and debuting while working in a barber shop, "Tony" has always been a derogatory name for him.
Xue Yao had always been a little reluctant to mention the past, but when chatting with Li Wan, Li Wan brought it up naturally, and he answered naturally. When talking about the difficult days in the past, his expression did not change, and he said calmly while holding a cup of tea,
But Xue Yao is not just an empty-headed vase. He likes reading very much, and what he says is unexpectedly profound and has his own unique insights, but he has never had the opportunity to show it in the past.
The director said: "This episode will definitely look great when edited."
Sister Yu nodded in agreement.
Li Wan plays the role of a guide, and she plays this role very well.
......
The first recording went smoothly.
Xue Yao had other schedules to catch up with, so he had to go to the airport after recording the show. When he left, he gave Li Wan a hug, then waved his hand coolly and got into the nanny car.
As soon as Xue Yao's car drove away, a black car stopped in front of Li Wan.
The car window rolled down, revealing Xiao Zeqingjun's face: "Get in the car."
Li Wan opened the car door and got in.
After a while, Xiao Zecai said, "Are you that familiar with him?"
So close that they hugged each other in the street.
Li Wan guessed that he saw her hugging Xue Yao just now.
"It's just a polite hug."
Xiao Ze suddenly turned the steering wheel, stopped the car on the side of the road, then quickly unbuckled the seat belt, pinched Li Wan's chin and kissed her.
After a long kiss, Xiao Ze kissed her on the lips twice more, sat up straight, and said calmly: "This is also a polite kiss."
Li Wan was stunned.
......
When she was recording the fourth episode, the first episode was already online on a certain video platform.
The pilot film that was shot previously had already been preheated online, and after the main film came out, the first wave of audiences were fans.
Fans went crazy after watching it and started promoting it crazily on major social media platforms.
After the information has been spread to a certain extent, marketing accounts will take action and cut out some of the prominent clips and post them on their own Weibo in the form of videos or pictures, forming a second large-scale spread, which will gradually attract the attention of passers-by.
After the first episode was broadcast, the score reached 8.7 points. As a newly launched variety show, this score is very high and it is a good start. As more and more people rated it, the score also fluctuated.
For several days after the first episode was broadcast, "After-Dinner Talk" was a hot topic on various social platforms.
#Chayufanhouxueyao# also became a hot search.
Xue Yao’s company did not buy it this time.
However, the program bought a hot search for #茶余饭后#.
#薛尧丽晚# also became a hot search.
Because this is the second time the two have worked together in a short period of time, and the natural and relaxed atmosphere they created on the show is also very comfortable.
Many of Xue Yao’s fans have turned into Li Wan’s casual fans, and they all affectionately call her Sister Wanwan in the comment section.
Because of the last interview and this interview, Xue Yao gained a lot of goodwill. Anyone with eyes could see that Li Wan played a very important role in it. In addition, Li Wan's status as a married man with children made them feel very safe.
But Li Wan's married status cannot stop the enthusiasm of CP fans.
In just one afternoon, they even cut out a couple video of themselves together.
The CP name is "Sydney".
Every time the two looked at each other and smiled at each other, with the background music, it really seemed like the real thing.
It was originally circulated only in a small circle, but Qi Wen accidentally found this video when searching for Li Wan. After watching it with great interest, she shared it with Li Wan, but accidentally clicked the like button. Although she discovered it in less than five minutes, it was still captured by screenshots.
The number of views of the video, which was originally circulated in a small circle, suddenly increased several times.
Qi Wen apologized to Li Wan embarrassedly.
After all, Li Wan is married, and she forwarded it to Li Wan because she thought it was interesting, but she didn't expect that she accidentally liked it.
Li Wan didn't take it to heart, and even watched the video that Qi Wen forwarded to her with interest.
But no matter what, the program "After Dinner" has made a good start, both in terms of reputation and popularity.
Li Wan received more job offers.
After seeing the benefits Xue Yao had gained, the management teams of the artists that the program crew had not previously invited couldn't help but extend an olive branch to him.
However, Sister Yu’s response was that the twelve sessions were already full, and if you still want to come, you can only wait for the second season.
So sometimes opportunities don't wait for anyone.
......
Li Wan had more and more job opportunities, but she only accepted some of them selectively. In the past, it was Xiao Ze who never came home, but now she has become the one who never comes home. Some jobs require her to go out of town, and when she comes back from work, Xiao Ze is on a business trip again. It has become normal for them not to see each other once a week.
It’s just that Xiao Ze has developed the habit of reporting his whereabouts to her. Xiao Ze sent many messages, but Li Wan replied seldom.
Sometimes when they were both at home, Li Wan would always answer the phone, just like he used to handle work in the study. Whenever he wanted to say something to her, Li Wan always looked uninterested, and when she got into bed at night, she would fall asleep as soon as her hand touched the pillow.
Gradually, Xiao Ze found it difficult to bear it.
This feeling of being completely ignored made him feel that Li Wan was getting further and further away from him.
Sometimes when he wanted to see her, he could only see her in the entertainment news. She had completely become a public figure, always appearing in places where the lights were shining.
After seeing the entertainment news about Li Wan and Xue Yao having dinner.
Xiao Ze's patience finally reached its limit.
When Li Wan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she saw Xiao Ze sitting on the sofa looking at her with a serious face: "Li Wan, let's talk."
Li Wan came over and sat on the sofa opposite him. She was wrapped in a nude pink silk nightgown, and her dark, slightly wet hair was loose. She casually pulled it back, revealing a fair and moisturized face that had been fully hydrated.
She wrapped herself in her bathrobe and yawned, her wet eyes showing a hint of laziness and tiredness. "What's wrong?"
She had been standing all day recording the show and now just wanted to go to bed quickly.
Xiao Ze ignored the unusual throbbing in his heart and frowned: "Did you have dinner with Xue Yao last night?"
Li Wan said: "He happened to be working nearby, so we had a meal together."
Xiao Ze felt a little uncomfortable: "Are you still in contact privately?"
Li Wan looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Xue Yao is 24 this year, I am almost a generation older than him, you are not jealous of this, are you?"
Xiao Ze had a gloomy face and refused to admit that he was indeed jealous when he saw the gossip news that Li Wan and Xue Yao walked out of the restaurant side by side, and Xue Yao held an umbrella for Li Wan and sent her to the car, and even stood by the car and talked to Li Wan for a long time before leaving.
He didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the subject: "Can you reduce your workload a bit?"
Li Wan yawned again, his wet eyes blurred: "Now is my rising period, and I have turned down a lot of work."
Xiao Ze said: "I don't want to stop you from working, but you also need to balance your family properly." He paused and said: "Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao need you."
…He needs it too.
"Why don't you balance your family?" Li Wan's eyes became clearer. She looked at Xiao Ze calmly and said, "I've only worked for three months, and you've been working for thirteen years. So far, the longest time I've been away on a business trip is one week, and your longest record... I can't remember, was it two months? Why didn't you think about balancing your family at that time? Don't Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao need you as a father?"
Xiao Ze said: "That was in the past..."
Li Wan interrupted him: "I don't want to bring up old scores with you, I just hope you can be fair."
The two parted unhappily and lay on the same bed. Neither of them fell asleep, but no one spoke.
They each occupied one side of the bed, sleeping back to back.
When Li Wan finally couldn't hold on any longer and was about to fall asleep, there was a rustling sound behind her, and then the mattress behind her suddenly sank. Xiao Ze's warm body hugged her from behind and buried his face in the back of her neck. Probably thinking that she was asleep, he complained in a muffled voice: "Why don't you say a soft word to me? I sent you WeChat messages, but you never replied... Don't you miss me at all?... But I miss you so much..."
Along with the man's low murmur, a hot kiss fell on the back of Li Wan's neck.
......
Li Wan finally had time off from work and wanted to sleep in, but was woken up by the sound of a child.
"Aunt, aunt, get up soon."
She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw her eldest brother's seven-year-old daughter, Li Wenwen, standing by the bed and pushing her with her hands. When she saw her open her eyes, she immediately called out, "Aunt, you're awake!"
The sound is sharp.
Li Wan's forehead throbbed with pain: "Why are you here?"
Li Wenwen said: "My grandma and mom brought me here."
At this time, Aunt Xu hurried in. Seeing Li Wan's haggard face, she immediately said guiltily: "I told her not to come up and disturb you."
When Xiao Ze left, he specifically told her not to wake Li Wan up and let her sleep longer.
Li Wenwen said hurriedly: "My grandma asked me to come up and call you."
Li Wan frowned and said to Aunt Xu, "It's okay, Aunt Xu." Then he said to Li Wenwen, "You go out first."
Li Wenwen said "oh" and walked out. She felt a little strange and felt that her aunt was not as close to her as before.
She ran downstairs.
Yang Fengyun and Li Wan's sister-in-law Wei Qingyan were sitting in the living room.
"Auntie, have you gotten up yet?" Yang Fengyun asked.
Li Wenwen said, "Yes." Then she added, "But my aunt seems a little strange."
Yang Fengyun immediately asked: "What's so strange?"
Li Wenwen shook her head again: "It's just a little strange."
It feels different than before.
Just then, Li Wan walked in wrapped in a silk nightgown.
Even though it's winter.
But the house was heated and it was warm everywhere, so she didn't feel cold even in her nightgown.
She had long, curly black hair casually scattered, her skin was fair and smooth, and the nude pink silk nightgown outlined her graceful figure. A section of her snow-white calves was revealed under the hem of her skirt. She was wearing slippers, and had a graceful and lazy demeanor.
Wei Qingyan hadn't seen Li Wan for a long time. When she first saw Li Wan's current appearance, she was a little overwhelmed. She was obviously the same person, but it seemed like everything had changed.
Her usually sharp tongue seemed useless at this moment. It took her a long while to react and she said, "My sister's temperament has changed since she became a star, right, mom?"
Her eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Yang Fengyun responded casually. Her relationship with Li Wan was strained. If Wei Qingyan hadn't insisted on dragging her here, she wouldn't have wanted to come to this door. Even if she wanted to meet him, it would have to be after Li Wan admitted his mistake.
Li Wan sat down on the single sofa and asked in a cold voice: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Her sister-in-law is the kind of person who never comes to visit someone unless she has a good reason. Every time she comes, she always wants to take something away.
Wei Qingyan wanted to say something polite first: "I just thought about it being a while since I last saw you, and Wenwen kept saying that she missed you, so I brought her to see you."
Li Wan asked: "How did you know I was at home?"
Wei Qingyan said: "I asked Xiao Xiao first. I didn't call you because I was worried that you would be busy."
Yang Fengyun said, "Okay, let's get down to business. I still have things to do." As she spoke, she glanced at Li Wan.
Li Wan remained unmoved and looked at Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan didn't expect Yang Fengyun to be so rude. She was a little embarrassed and said, "It's like this, sister. Isn't Wenwen older? Yueyue is almost twelve years old. It's really hard for two sisters to study in one room. Yueyue's grades have dropped. So your brother and I are thinking about moving to a bigger house... You know..."
Li Wan didn't have the patience to continue listening and interrupted her: "You want to borrow money, right?"
Wei Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with an embarrassed look on her face.
Li Wan asked: "How much do you want to borrow?"
Wei Qingyan said: "Three hundred thousand."
Li Wan said, “Okay.”
Wei Qingyan was immediately delighted.
Then I heard Li Wan say, "Let Big Brother come find me."
