Touya Yaoyao

Exhausted, Yu Yaoyao had a rare good night's sleep, but the next morning, before she was even fully awake, her phone, which was on her bedside table, suddenly rang.

She instinctively reached for her phone and pressed the answer button, only to find that the caller was her cousin, Ye Yunshen's son, Ye Qiguo.

Actually, Ye Qiguo's name should have been Ye Qishi, but as soon as Yu Weijin came up with the name, Ye Yunshen took it and used it on his son. So, Yu Weijin had no choice but to name her third son Ye Qishi.

Like his father Ye Yunshen, Ye Qiguo loved making movies from a young age, but he was more talented than his father and was admitted to the most famous film academy in Zhaoguo at a young age to study how to make movies.

He called Yu Yaoyao this time simply because he was about to graduate, and the school required him to make a graduation film. However, the film he was making was missing an actor, so he approached Yu Yaoyao, who had just returned to China.

Yu Yaoyao initially wanted to refuse, but his repeated pleas left her with no choice but to give him a perfunctory reply:

"Sure, but I'm busy today. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Upon seeing Yu Yaoyao agree, Ye Qiguo excitedly exclaimed:

"Okay, cousin, it's settled then. I'll hang up now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively, then boasted to Shirato Shirato, who was sitting on a stool reading a script:

"My cousin said she'll be here tomorrow, Second Young Master Bai. You promised me you'd give me the lead role, you have to keep your word!"

Upon hearing Ye Qiguo say that Yu Yaoyao would be coming tomorrow, Bai Taoshi simply stood up from the stool, rolled the script in her hand into a hollow cylinder, tapped Ye Qiguo on the head, and said irritably:

"They won't be here until tomorrow, not today. I'm going back today to gather some inspiration and figure out how to act. See you tomorrow."

As he was about to get up and leave, Ye Qiguo couldn't help but look at Bai Taoshi with a bitter expression, muttering with a wronged look:

"Young Master Bai, I went to great lengths to get you from my father, and you're running away after only a few minutes? Didn't I waste all my effort?!"

Bai Taoyi completely ignored Ye Qiguo's complaints, and even had the mood to tease him:

"Ye Qiguo, you're a new director, and I only came because of your cousin. So don't be so picky."

As he spoke, Bai Taoyi patted Ye Qiguo on the shoulder, seemingly teasing but actually offering caring advice:

"Besides, your script is a mess, and you haven't even found the locations! How are we supposed to film this?!"

Only after Bai Taoyi said that did Ye Qiguo belatedly realize that he hadn't even chosen a venue yet, let alone anything else. Therefore, he didn't try to stop Bai Taoyi, but instead waved his hand dismissively at her, saying:

"Then go back and familiarize yourself with the script. I'll call you again once I've found a location."

After saying that, Ye Qiguo busied himself as if no one else was around.

Seeing that he was busy with photography again, Shiratoshi couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, and leisurely took the script and left.

It seems this greenhorn has a long way to go.

Yu Yaoyao had only said she would talk about it the next day to appease Ye Qiguo, but Ye Qiguo called her again early the next morning.

Yu Yaoyao, still half asleep, was awakened by the annoying ringing of the phone. Still groggy, she picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, then heard Ye Qiguo's slightly complaining voice:

"Cousin, didn't you say you'd be coming today?! Why aren't you here yet?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao wearily rubbed her temples and said irritably:

"You didn't even tell me the address, how am I supposed to get there?! Fly? Run? Or walk?"

Seeing that Yu Yaoyao's tone was unfriendly, Ye Qiguo did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he complained nonchalantly:

"I gave you the address from the beginning, okay?! You even promised me you'd come, and now you're saying I didn't tell you? Cousin, are you just trying to fool me?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously recalled the contents of yesterday's phone call, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty and embarrassed as she said:

"Is...really?! I was a bit busy yesterday and forgot about it. Why don't you tell me the address and I'll head over right now?"

Hearing Yu Yaoyao's guilty voice, Ye Qiguo sighed helplessly, then sent her his location, complaining in a mournful tone:

"Cousin, you're not lying to me, are you? We're all here, just waiting for you."

These words made Yu Yaoyao even more embarrassed. She gave an awkward laugh, then quickly promised to go as soon as possible before hanging up the phone.

After washing up as quickly as possible, Yu Yaoyao didn't care about anything else. She grabbed a set of casual clothes from the closet, put them on, and then hurriedly ran out.

Seeing her anxious expression, Ye, who was eating breakfast, couldn't help but frown. She then stopped her as she was about to leave and questioned her:

"Yaoyao, where are you going?!"

Yu Yaoyao thought no one was home, but to her surprise, her third brother was still leisurely eating breakfast. Honestly, it's almost nine o'clock, why isn't he at work yet?!

Although she wanted to complain about Ye actually skipping work, Yu Yaoyao still obediently stopped and said somewhat awkwardly:

"My cousin said he wanted to make a graduation film and asked me to help out. I figured I didn't have anything else to do lately, so I agreed."

As she spoke, she glanced tentatively at Ye Qishi putting down her chopsticks, and hesitated before asking:

"Third Brother, are you full?!"

Ye didn't actually say anything, but simply stood up from his chair. He casually picked up the car keys next to the plate and said to Yu Yaoyao, who was still in a daze:

"I'll take you there!"

Upon hearing Ye Qi's words, Yu Yaoyao was taken aback and hesitated before asking further:

"Isn't Third Brother at work today?"

Ye Qishi merely glanced at her upon hearing this, without saying a word, but the meaning was clear: don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Yu Yaoyao could only follow closely behind Ye Qishi and leave the Ye family villa with him.

As soon as she arrived at the garage, Yu Yaoyao stopped in front of a black Rolls-Royce. The reason she chose this particular car was because Ye Qi had recently become obsessed with this type of vehicle, so she had no other choice.

Originally, Yu Yaoyao was supposed to sit in the back, but before she could do anything, Ye Qishi pulled her to his side and opened the passenger door without saying a word.

Yu Yaoyao subconsciously looked at Ye Qishi, who looked at her expressionlessly. After hesitating for a long time, Yu Yaoyao silently got into the passenger seat.

She genuinely disliked the front passenger seat, always feeling it was strange to sit there. She preferred the back seats, finding them safer and less likely to be misunderstood.

In fact, the back seat is the safest place, because everyone says that the front passenger seat is the girlfriend's exclusive seat, not the back seat, and that's the most important point.

But Ye didn't seem to care about that. In fact, the first thing he did after getting in the car was to fasten Yu Yaoyao's seatbelt.

However, when he fastened his seatbelt, the two were so close that Yu Yaoyao had the illusion that her third brother was shy.
