Touya Yaoyao

Yu Yaoyao never imagined that she would see architectural styles similar to those of Shanghai during the Republican era, as depicted in TV dramas, in northern Beijing.

Or perhaps, she never imagined that in this unfamiliar world and in this unfamiliar country, she could see such familiar architecture.

She subconsciously opened the car window, gazing curiously at the surrounding buildings, her face filled with amazement and longing.

Those luxurious mansions that she only saw on TV were now truly in front of her, and she always had a dreamlike, unreal feeling, even thinking for a moment that she had traveled through time.

Ye was actually noticing the look of amazement on Yu Yaoyao's face for the first time, so much so that he couldn't help but glance at the surrounding buildings and casually asked:

"You like it here?! The property prices aren't high here; if you like it, you can buy a house to live in yourself."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao was stunned. She turned around in surprise, her eyes shining as she looked at Ye Qishi, and asked with great joy:

"Really?!"

Ye Qishi noticed Yu Yaoyao staring intently at her, her ears turning slightly red. She then feigned nonchalance and teased herself:

"It's not expensive, only a few tens of millions. If you want it, we can go take a look tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously considered her cash flow and estimated the amount of cash she could withdraw. She frowned for a long time, feeling that this matter seemed quite difficult to handle.

She was a recent graduate who hadn't started working yet and didn't have a stable income. The money she had was just pocket money and scholarships given to her by her parents and Ye Qihua.

With that little money, she couldn't even afford a sofa cover for the old mansion, let alone sell it. Thinking this, she dejectedly sat back in the passenger seat, bitterly mocking herself:

"Forget it, it's not particularly practical anyway."

Seeing Yu Yaoyao refuse, Ye Qishi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He subconsciously chuckled and couldn't help but speak with a doting expression:

"Didn't you graduate?! How about I buy it for you as a graduation gift?!"

To be honest, she was quite tempted, but to be honest, Yu Yaoyao didn't dare.

She wasn't without the opportunity to buy a multi-million dollar mansion, but she simply didn't have the funds right now. If Ye Qishi paid for it for her, she might get what she wanted as quickly as possible, but at the same time, she would owe Ye Qishi a favor.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay—this is the sentence Yu Yaoyao has come to understand most deeply over the years. Therefore, she shook her head casually and refused:

"No, I didn't really want it that much, I was just curious."

Ye Qishi smiled when he saw her perfunctory expression, but didn't expose her. He just looked at the villas on both sides of the street, thinking about the type of girl Yu Yaoyao might like, and decided to give her a surprise.

Her good mood was dampened by reality, and Yu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel a little down. Ye Qishi, seeing her gloomy eyes, simply reached out and patted the top of her head, comforting her:

"With my brother here, there's nothing else to worry about."

Yu Yaoyao didn't answer, but gave a perfunctory reply. In her heart, she secretly vowed that when she had money, she would definitely buy a villa, decorate it beautifully, just like the princess castle in a fairy tale book.

After dropping Yu Yaoyao off at the filming location, Ye Qishi left the location, and Yu Yaoyao looked at the gate of the old house in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Unlike other old villas, this old villa in front of us is a blend of Chinese and Western styles with red and white as the main colors.

The red wooden pillars, white railings, and open-air balcony showcase a strong American style, making it a striking sight.

But once you step inside the old villa and take a closer look, you'll find that it incorporates elements of Jiangnan gardens while also blending in American style.

The winding dragon wall, the octagonal pavilion with a pyramidal roof, and the traditional rockery—the two styles complement each other and coexist harmoniously.

She couldn't look anymore, she couldn't look anymore. If she kept looking, she really had the urge to chop off her hands and buy the whole house.

After searching around the villa area with its old houses, Yu Yaoyao finally found Ye Qiguo and his group in the south garden of the old houses, who were about to start filming. But before Yu Yaoyao could complain, Bai Taoshi teased her with a mocking expression:

"You really keep us waiting."

Yu Yaoyao ignored him and instead looked at Ye Qiguo, who was fiddling with a camera, walked straight up to him, and complained irritably:

"Cousin, you asked me to help you, but you didn't give me a script or makeup. How am I supposed to help?!"

Ye Qiguo glanced at Yu Yaoyao perfunctorily, then casually pointed to Bai Taoshi beside him and shifted the blame directly:

"I didn't ask you to come. He said he wouldn't cooperate if you didn't come, so I had no choice but to send you."

Finally, he looked at Yu Yaoyao with a resentful expression and complained indignantly:

"Cousin, you have no idea. I finally managed to get him through Dad to be my male lead, but he's completely uncooperative. He even said he wouldn't act unless you came. No matter how much I begged him, it was no use. I had no choice but to ask you."

Yu Yaoyao's lips twitched as she listened. Speechless, she looked at Bai Taoshi, who was pretending nothing had happened and knew nothing, and couldn't help but frown and ask:

"What do you want with me?! I can't act, can I?! You can't expect me to watch you act, can you?!"

Although Shiro Touya felt embarrassed, he still muttered under his breath:

"What does it matter?! You can watch me act, right? You don't have anything else to do anyway, so it'll be good for you to come and help out."

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Ye Qiguo, clearly angry that he had actually complained.

Ye Qiguo ignored his warning and instead fiddled with his camera, pressing for answers:

"Can we begin now?!"

When Bai Taoshi saw him speak, he casually handed the script in his hand to Yu Yaoyao and ran over to act with the other actors.

I don't know Yu Yaoyao, the woman who is acting with Bai Taoshi. Judging from her age, she should be a college student who hasn't graduated yet. She has a delicate and refined appearance and an otherworldly temperament. She looks... well, she and Bai Taoshi are quite a good match!

Yu Yaoyao had absolutely no interest in watching others act, so she simply left the filming location and decided to wander around.

It has to be said that the decoration of this old house really suited her heart. Every step and every brick and tile seemed to be a part of her heart. The lilacs in full bloom in the garden made her linger.

Yu Yaoyao imagined herself wearing a cheongsam in this old-style house, and couldn't help but smile foolishly. It was a wonderful thought.

Unfortunately, she didn't have enough money to own it, so she could only fantasize about it to satisfy her desires.

However, it's not like there's no chance at all. If she tries hard, she should still have a chance to buy it.
