After living together with the e-sports god [E-sports]
Chapter 42 (1)
As soon as Huo Yanze opened the bathroom door, he saw a familiar figure. Jiang Yuzheng was sitting alone at his desk, looking absently at the music box that rotated the notes.
I don't know what the boy thought of, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously held a smile. The bright almond eyes flickered like casting a clear sky in people's hearts, clear and gentle.
But when he noticed that the boy had just washed his hair and there were still drops of water on the ends of his hair, Huo Yanze frowned slightly, and the emotion in his eyes faded a little.He took a dry towel and put it on the boy's head in a rough motion, and while wiping his hair awkwardly, he complained in a bad tone: "Why are you looking at the music box? Does it look familiar?"
Jiang Yu, who was immersed in the memories, went dark, and then felt the man's palm gently covering his head, his movements were gentle and clumsy.
In the next second, the towel was ruthlessly thrown aside by the man. He took out the hair dryer from the drawer, and before Jiang Yu took it, the man cleverly avoided his palm and turned on the power.
The warm wind and the temperature of the man's fingertips crossed over every part of Jiang Yu's head, just like the hot and forbearing emotion of the man behind him, calmly and gently teasing Jiang Yu's heart, swaying Layer upon layer of ripples.
While blowing his hair, Jiang Yu could vaguely see some old red strings on his wrists strung together with prayer beads. The beautiful knots were tied by himself back then.
It never changed.
Jiang Yu's face became even hotter from the warm wind.
His hair was obviously not very long, but he felt that the man had blown it for a long time, and he didn't stop until the tip of his hair was completely dry,? Then he turned to his slightly wet hair and started a new round of blow blowing .He still didn't forget to pat Jiang Yu to drive him away with disgust, and asked him to give up his position.
For the man's ruthless actions, if Jiang Yu had pouted his mouth before and pretended to give him an angry look, he would have walked away without looking back.But ever since he knew the man's intentions, Jiang Yu had already seen every movement of the old fox like a mirror.
Help blow hair for so long?You just want to stay with me for a while.
Drive me away after blowing?That must be embarrassing.
Jiang Yu, who had already blushed from embarrassment, was sitting triumphantly on the sofa, his bright almond eyes curved into an elegant arc, secretly speculating on the man's little thoughts.
When Huo Yanze dried his hair half-dried and was about to put away the hair dryer, he turned around and saw that Jiang Yu hadn't gone back yet, but was just sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a smirk, resting his chin with one hand, looking at him with great interest. with him.
A trace of surprise flashed in Huo Yanze's eyes, he slightly raised his eyebrows and teased: "Why, my roommate and I are used to not going back to sleep alone?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu ignored his teasing, instead smiled meaningfully at him, blinked mischievously and pointed to the clothes on the sofa: "I put the coat here for you."
Huo Yanze raised his eyes slightly: "You want to talk about this after waiting for a long time?"
Jiang Yu didn't answer, but slowly got up from the sofa, put on the slippers very decently under the gaze of the man, and smiled at him with the best camera sense: "Good night, sweet dreams!"
Huo Yanze was slightly taken aback by being teased by the child unexpectedly.Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this little guy's gourd, he still responded in a muffled voice: "Well, good night."
Jiang Yu walked out of the room one step at a time with his head up, and he didn't forget to look back, smile and wink at the man before closing the door.
Huo Yanze hinted that he wanted to stay in the room overnight?
Should it be considered more natural when you first came out?
The angle of his smile is so good, will he be unable to fall asleep after saying good night?
Hearing the footsteps gradually going away and the door closing next door, Huo Yanze sighed inaudibly. For some reason, Jiang Yu was the same as usual tonight, but something made him unable to speak out, like a cat's tail on his heart Swipe across, it's extraordinarily sultry.
The man's eyes shifted to the music box next to him, seeing the tightly closed lid as if Jiang Yu hadn't had time to open it, Huo Yanze finally felt relieved.The man's slender fingers gently slid across the wooden music box, carefully turning the mainspring, and following the notes he had heard countless times, he opened the music box, looking at the photo in the middle, the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously.
In the end, there is no handsome photo of Huo Shao in the middle of the music box, but a well-behaved sunny boy.
Looking at some slightly yellowed photos, it seems to touch the softness of the man's heart. This is a photo that Jiang Yi took and privately sent to him when Jiang Yu graduated.At that time, he was competing in Sweden. Taking advantage of the short meal break just after the game, he foolishly ran all over the streets and alleys of Queen Street in Stockholm, and finally found a photo shop that can develop photos.
He still remembers his uncontrollable emotions when he got that photo. He insisted on leaving home to play games, and stood alone on the street in a foreign country. Just looking at the photo in his hand made his eyes, who have always been able to control his emotions, blush.
Even looking at still photos, he seems to be able to imagine what happened when the photo was taken.
In the photo, Jiang Yu, who graduated from high school, is sitting calmly on his desk to pack his things. The book on his desk is in stark contrast to the empty desk next to him.The person who took the picture shouted something to him, the boy turned his face to the camera, and smiled slightly, with a green and sunny smile, which made everything around him eclipse in an instant.
This smile was completely imprinted in Huo Yanze's heart for many years.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yu finally got to know everyone in the Huo family. Brother Huo, who was busy with the company all year and finally took his annual leave, left Mumu to his parents and took his wife on a trip. Huo Er, who seemed cynical Brother was the champion rapper of the rap show some time ago, but he is more famous than him recently because of his scandal with Su Nianhe, but Jiang Yu is most concerned about Director Zhizhi who is sitting at the end of the dining table chatting with Papa Huo.
Papa Huo: "How's the movie going?"
Zhizhi: "Let's just leave it at that. Now award-winning literary and artistic films don't make money, and I don't want to make commercial films. Fortunately, winning awards also has some false prestige, so it's fine if you don't pay."
Huo Yanze slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy next to him, he took a mouthful of cabbage absent-mindedly in front of his favorite dish, and seriously listened to the chat over there as a class.He smiled helplessly, cut his steak according to the texture and put it in front of the boy to replace the plate, and took the initiative to talk to his uncle: "Uncle, do you think you can make money by adapting my movie?"
Director Zhizhi was taken aback for a moment, looked at his nephew who was eyeing him and Jiang Yu who looked nervous, and said with a light smile, "I'm sure I'll get back to the original, the script this time is really good, but how about the specific film coming out?" It still depends on Xiao Jiangyu to work hard with us."
Facing Director Shangzhizhi's gentle and somewhat encouraging gaze, Jiang Yu instantly sat up straight, his eyes were very firm and he nodded his head: "I will definitely work hard!"
Seeing the cute appearance of the child being called in class, everyone couldn't help laughing.Seemingly aware that his reaction was a bit too formal, Jiang Yu touched his head a little embarrassedly, and then heard Director Zhizhi continue: "Now I feel that it was a very correct idea to confirm that Ozawa was casting the role, and in addition You have been interacting frequently recently and it is a good publicity for me in disguise. Don't forget to continue to operate during the Chinese New Year. What is the name of your group..."
The sister-in-law Baihe who had been kowtowling candy since she sat down on the opposite side immediately added: "Sanjiang Qize!"
Director Zhizhi patted his thigh: "Yes, that's right, plus the live broadcast effect some time ago, this kind of natural publicity is much better than ordinary publicity topics and publicity. No, you all have it before our movie starts. Fans support club, and I followed Fanchao a while ago."
As soon as Baihe put down his chopsticks, his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! I also paid attention!"
Huo's mother also joined the discussion: "Did you push Xiaohe to me some time ago? I also paid attention!"
Jiang Yu's smile instantly froze on his face, not knowing what expression to make.
What is it like to listen to your CP's family members discussing him and your CP?
He quietly picked up the water glass to hide his nervousness, and tiptoedly tugged at the man's sleeve under the dining table to seek help, but Huo Yanze gave him a reassuring look and patted him lightly. After holding his hand, he joined the discussion calmly.
Huo Yanze: "I paid attention too."
???
Jiang Yu's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and almost spit out a mouthful of water.
The dining table, which was originally full of joy and laughter, fell into a strange silence for an instant. In the blink of an eye, Bai He and Huo's mother exchanged meaningful glances tacitly, suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and came to a conclusion by coincidence.
Huo Yanze is promising!Good luck!
Jiang Yu's hand that was holding the corner of the man's clothes froze slightly. He opened his mouth slightly in surprise and turned his head. He was caught off guard by the deep eyes of the man. Because of the short distance, he could even see the reflection in the man's eyes. own figure.
Although I knew that he liked me, I didn't expect to say such suggestive words in front of all my family members.
What kind of experience does my CP and his family care about our CP?
Mumu's eyes turned around on his lord, his big eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at his parents curiously: "Mom, what is Sanjiang Qize?"
Jiang Yu has already started to pray that there are aliens who can take him away immediately.
Bai He smiled slightly, and gently stroked his daughter's head: "Ah, you have to ask your third uncle, he understands best."
Huo Yanze, the sensible man, curled his lips slightly, and carefully peeled the prawns for the ignorant and well-behaved CP next to him and put them in a bowl. On the other hand, Jiang Yu's face was still crimson, reddening to his fair neck.
Four years away from home, I watched men, women and children at home gather together, sitting around a round table, everyone sincerely said the simplest blessings and familiar laughter, and raised their glasses together in a warm room filled with the aroma of vegetables They all expressed their best yearning for the new year, which gradually aroused the most familiar yet unfamiliar taste of the year in Huo Yanze's memory.
It seems to be the same when I was a child. I would go to set off firecrackers with my eldest brother and second brother after dinner, and my parents would prepare pear water at home, watching the Spring Festival Gala and waiting for them to come back from playing.
But now even though fireworks and firecrackers are banned in the urban area, the New Year's laughter without firecrackers is more clear to the ears, and the blessings are more logically penetrated into everyone's ears, like a warm current slowly flowing into the bottom of my heart.
And the most different thing about Chinese New Year this year is that there is one more person next to him.
Huo Yanze curled his lips contentedly as he looked at the little guy who was munching on his head.
This was the reunion he was most looking forward to.
After the meal, just as Huo Yanze sat on the sofa and was about to take a break, Mu Mu, who usually ignored him, poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.
The boiled water at a suitable temperature and the sweetly smiling little girl in front of him made Huo Yanze raise his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't help but worry about the quality of this glass of water, so he didn't dare to take it directly.
But Mu Mu didn't care, and put the water glass into his hand domineeringly with his small hand: "Third Uncle, drink water, don't be polite."
Huo Yanze spent all his time looking at the child who went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and a meaningful smile flashed across his lips: "Say it, child, what can I ask for?"
Mumu smiled at him, and tugged at his sleeves with his chubby little hands: "My dad bought me a lot of small fireworks and firecrackers. I want to go outside with Brother Jiang Yu, but I have to drive far, far away. Fireworks can only be set off at a distance, brother Jiang Yu said he can't drive..."
Huo Yanze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you ask your dad to drive you there?"
"Father said he has very important things to do tonight, so he compensated me with a lot of fireworks!" Huo Yanze couldn't help but sneered when he saw the little girl with her arms outstretched, and then heard the little girl continue Added: "And my father also said, you want to stay with Brother Jiang Yu, as long as Brother Jiang Yu goes, you will definitely go, anyway, you will have nothing to do at night when you are single, and no one will look for you during the Chinese New Year. "
"Really, third uncle?"
Huo Yanze: "..."
Well, you Huo Shiyan, you and your wife are chic at night after buying fireworks, and you still make fun of me with your kids?
The man gritted his teeth for half a second, sighed inaudibly, and then accepted the drudgery of taking care of the children on the New Year's Eve.
He casually glanced at Jiang Yu who was on the phone on the other side of the balcony, his eyes became softer unconsciously.
After all, Jiang Yu should like the fun of setting off fireworks.
Huo Yanze put down the water glass in his hand and asked Mu Mu to pack her exclusive schoolbag first, then he got up and casually walked to the small balcony over there, he could vaguely hear the voice of the boy on the phone, polite and a little alienated.
"...No, I still have money."
"It's working fine and smooth."
"Okay, Happy New Year."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sneered when he saw the call time displayed on the screen was less than 2 minutes.Obviously it was the mother who hadn't spoken on the phone for two months, but after she got through the line, she could talk for less than 2 minutes.
As the screen of the phone was locked, he felt as if he had fallen into the boundless night together in an instant, and the biting winter wind in the middle of the night made him feel a little sentimental.Looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside, but none of them belonged to him, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sighed deeply when he thought of this, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man standing behind him.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes in disbelief, his long eyelashes cast light shadows, and tried hard to hide his little emotions, when he heard the man's deep voice resounding in the dark night, there was a bit of unique gentleness.
"Finished?"
Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes."
Huo Yanze walked over directly, stood beside him, put his coat on his shoulders lightly, and asked casually, "Auntie, are you still abroad?"
The warmth from the coat made Jiang Yu feel a little relieved, and he smiled indifferently: "Well, she usually doesn't go back to China if she has nothing to do."
Although Jiang Yu's tone was light, Huo Yanze caught the point. Since high school, Jiang Yu has lived alone and was forced to practice good cooking skills. He is rarely seen in contact with his mother. It seems that apart from living expenses, he The communication between mother and him is almost zero.Even though it is an important festival for family reunion like Chinese New Year, it is actually not important to Jiang's mother.
Looking at the usually gentle and casual boy, who seemed to care nothing about anything, he took off his protective shell at this time, and showed his weakest side in front of him without any scruples.
Huo Yanze's heart twitched suddenly, and the concern and distress could not be hidden in his eyes.
Jiang Yu didn't notice it, he just propped his chin with one hand and looked into the distance with some blank eyes.Maybe it was because I felt too much kindness from my family today, or maybe it was because I just finished talking with my mother on the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but murmured to the endless night: "Tell me, will there be a lamp just for me in the future?" And bright..."
After saying this, Jiang Yu himself couldn't help laughing, and patted his head twice, which was blown silly by the night wind: "Hey, what am I talking about..."
"Brother Jiang Yu, Third Uncle! Let's go! Beep!" Outside the balcony, Xiao Mumu put his own small schoolbag on his back, urging with unconcealed anticipation and excitement on his face.
Hearing the innocent and lovely voice of the little girl, Jiang Yu immediately adjusted his mood and smiled at Mumu: "Okay, wait for me to change my clothes."
"Yeah!" Mu Mu jumped up and down to show off to grandma, and went to the door to change shoes and get ready to go.
Although he was a bit reluctant to give up the warm coat on his body, Jiang Yu took it off and handed it to Huo Yanze with a thankful smile, but he didn't expect that the man grabbed his wrist straight, and only heard him say something abruptly.
"There will be."
"Huh?" Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled but did not respond.
Huo Yanze did not let go, but held it tighter, his eyes were firm and unquestionable, the next second, a deep voice rang in his ears, but the plain words made Jiang Yu's heart tremble like the warmest oath.
"Jiang Yu, there will always be a lamp, and I only wish to light it for you alone."
After finishing speaking, Huo Yanze raised the corners of his lips lightly, let go of his hand and rubbed the boy's head in a daze, and unconsciously showed a little affection in his eyes: "Let's go, take the two of you to set off fireworks together. "
After driving for half an hour, I finally arrived at the place where fireworks are allowed in the outer ring. There were already a few waves of people coming to set off fireworks nearby. After finding a larger open space, Huo Yanze moved his stiff neck and was about to find a bench to sit on. Yes, but saw one big and one small put two fireworks into his hands.
Huo Yanze:?
Before coming here, Huo Yanze never thought that the fireworks that these two people said would be set off like this.
He looked helplessly at the two people who hid far away. Because of the cold weather, the older one and the younger one were wrapped up like two little squirrels, looking at him expectantly and nervously, signaling to light it up.
But because of the windy winter night, the flame of a lighter is unstable, and it is not a wise choice to light it directly, so Huo Yanze, who was forced to ban smoking because of Jiang Yu, managed to find half a pack of cigarettes from the car, under the urging of the two Lit and took a puff.
As Huo Yanze exhaled a puff of smoke, seeing the disgusted expressions of the big and the small at the same time, he couldn't laugh or cry, and muttered: "So, I'm here to be your driver and light the fireworks?"
"Then let me smoke and light fireworks, and now you still dislike me?"
Jiang Yu blinked at him innocently, and argued: "I don't smoke and I don't have a lighter, and you can't let Mumu light it, so I can only trouble Brother Ze."
After receiving Jiang Yu's suggestion, Mumu's milky voice added to the fire: "Third Uncle is the most handsome tonight, and he will be even more handsome when he lights up the fireworks."
Huo Yanze raised his eyebrows slightly, and aimed at the slightly coquettish 'Brother Ze' and 'Handsome', Huo Yanze's movements to get up and light the fireworks were also a little neater.
Jiang Yu hid not far away and covered half of his ears, watching the usually indifferent man slowly take apart the fireworks and put the fuses outside, bent his knees to check their positions before lighting them up with cigarette butts, striding forward with a smile on his face He ran over here, Jiang Yu's heart instantly bloomed like fireworks behind him, and the eyes he looked at the man couldn't help feeling a little bit shy.
He has been celebrating the New Year alone since high school, and he never thought that the New Year would be so interesting.
It never occurred to me that someone would be willing to fool around with him.
The man also said he would keep a lamp for himself.
Huo Shaoyan bought a wide variety of fireworks, and Huo Yanze let it go down for almost half an hour before two-thirds of it went down. Jiang Yu and Mu Mu in the auditorium at the side found a wooden chair far away to sit on it, and clapped their hands from time to time for the busy setting off. The fireworks people applaud and cheer.
After the last little firework was finally set off, Huo Yanze stretched his sore neck and waved to the audience not far away: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place, and I'll take a rest too."
As the car stopped slowly, Jiang Yu looked around, only to find that the resting place Huo Yanze mentioned was the music fountain in Wuxin Shopping Mall, the largest shopping mall in S City.
Because there will be a grand music performance in the evening, although the shopping mall is closed, the nearby small shops are still open. I walked to the nearby drink shop to warm up warmly, and greeted the waiter warmly.
Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "Mumu, do you come here often?"
Mumu smiled at him, and casually said to Jiang Yu like showing off a toy: "Yes, yes, this shopping mall belongs to our family."
Seeing Jiang Yu's very surprised appearance, Huo Yanze who was on the side explained thoughtfully: "The Wuxin shopping mall in S City is a project of Huo's Group. It is close to home and Mumu often comes here. This time it is a real small shopping mall. boss."
When Jiang Yu saw that there was Mumu's exclusive children's zone on the side of the beverage store, his eyes strengthened his respect for the little boss.
Huo Yanze, who came over with a hot drink, looked at the boy who was playing in the children's zone without blinking, with an envious look on his face, and couldn't help but tease: "You want to play too?"
"I didn't!" Jiang Yu smiled and complained about the man's strange brain circuit, and was about to take the hot drink from him very naturally.
But before Jiang Yu took it, the mobile phone that was originally in his pocket vibrated suddenly, and Jiang Yu took out the mobile phone with some doubts.Huo Yanze inadvertently glanced at the note on the caller ID on the screen, and instantly narrowed his eyes, feeling a little more dangerous.
Jiang Yu was also very surprised when he saw the caller ID. Since the incident in the bar last time, he and Zhong Mengshi have not had any contact. He did not expect to receive a call from a man now.
And it's still... in front of Huo Yanze.
I don't know if the man saw the caller ID just now, Jiang Yu still took the hot drink and gave him an apologetic look, looking at the man's eyes that were as hard to pry as a deep pool, he turned his head guiltily before answering the call. , try to be polite to the other end of the phone: "Hi, hello."
Hearing the unfamiliar address on the phone, the boy didn't call himself 'Brother Zhong' as usual, a gloomy flash of light flashed in Zhong Mengshi's eyes, and he covered it up calmly: "Xiaoyu is me, happy new year .”
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, besides being his senior, Jiang Yu responded very politely: "I also wish you a happy new year."
The drink shop was a bit noisy, but Huo Yanze, who was sitting next to him, could still hear the intimate address of the man opposite him, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.
Xiao Yu?
I don't know how familiar I thought it was.
The man on the other end of the phone continued: "I'm sorry for what happened before. If it's possible, can I treat you to dinner in the next year as compensation?"
Huo Yanze frowned slightly.
If you want to treat me to a meal, just tell me and make up for it. What can a meal make up for?
Jiang Yu didn't think much about it, and directly declined, "I guess I'll be filming after the next year, so you'll probably be very busy without Brother Zhong."
The man on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, and seemed to sigh before continuing to find a topic with a forced smile: "I heard that the crew of "TA" also approached you recently? The role of the schoolmaster."
"I have found it, but I haven't considered it yet." Thinking of the brotherhood that has nothing to do with the novel, Jiang Yu's heart is not very inclined to act.
Zhong Mengshi: "The film crew also found me, and very much hoped that I would play the role of Xueba."
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned. After all, with Zhong Mengshi's title as actor, he had the opportunity to choose better scripts and resources, and he didn't use the unrecognizable brotherhood in the adaptation of "TA" to increase the popularity.
In the next second, before he could speak, a gentle and calm voice from the other end of the phone answered his doubts: "If you agree, I will answer directly."
Zhong Mengshi: "Xiao Yu, I want to cooperate with you."
Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and for some reason, he glanced reflexively at Huo Yanze next to him, swallowed lightly and didn't know how to answer: "I..."
The usually gentle man on the other end of the phone was uncharacteristically, and said in an unquestionably firm tone: "I'm waiting for your answer, including the answer about eating, and you don't have to refuse so quickly. Xiaoyu, happy new year."
Jiang Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, only to hear the voice of 'beep beep' from the other end of the phone, and the boy sighed inaudibly.
Seeing Jiang Yu's embarrassing and melancholy look, Huo Yanze's face darkened a bit, he touched the small box in his pocket as if he had finally made up his mind, and on the surface he invited calmly: "Jiang Yu, do you want to go out for a walk? "
Jiang Yu raised his head in confusion: "Then I'll call Shang Mu Mu together."
Thinking of this ghostly little light bulb, Huo Yanze didn't even want to refuse it directly: "No, there is a special person to take care of the children's zone, and we are nearby, so she can see it when she comes out."
Jiang Yu nodded, and saw the man help him stretch his sleeves, carefully avoid the wound, put on his coat, and then walk out alone.Jiang Yu put on his hat, and he explained to Mu Mu again and again before leaving.
Although there will be a grand musical fountain soon, the biting cold night wind has driven people to rest in small heated shops nearby, so that there are no people near the fountain.
As soon as Jiang Yu walked out of the door, he was immediately persuaded by the cold wind and wanted to return to the house, but the man in front seemed to see him coming out and turned around to walk towards the fountain. Jiang Yu breathed out the warmth and hurriedly followed him .The reason why he was wearing a hat was that he could only see that he was getting closer and closer to the man's generous back, but unexpectedly the man stopped in place after a slight pause. Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and he bumped into him unexpectedly. The first point of contact successfully opened up the distance between the two.
But this time, because of the windbreaker the man was wearing, the hat didn't make a mark on his back.
Hearing the gasp from the person in front of him, Jiang Yu raised his head slightly, and saw the handsome facial features that people still can't take their eyes off, long legs and narrow waist, men seem to be born with a kind of natural nobility but it makes people It was difficult to get close, but this time there was a meaningful smile on his lips, and he was looking at him with interest and waiting for him to say something.
Jiang Yu suppressed his smile, and naturally noticed that the man and himself remembered the first meeting in the bar after many years, so he followed the script that day, and said his opening words at that time: "Sorry sir, I'm sorry. Didn't see you."
Huo Yanze raised his eyes slightly, and after helping him to straighten his hat thoughtfully, he confronted him with the lines of the year with a little teasing: "If you have bad eyes, don't wear a hat indoors."
Jiang Yu didn't get into a rage like that day, but his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he winked mischievously at him and said lightly without following the script: "But Mr. Huo, we are outside now."
The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and then smiled at each other as if in a tacit understanding.
Watching the boy pull off his mask to reveal most of his face, looking at him with smiling eyes against the light, the tiny light sprinkled on his body seemed to form a soft circle of light, Huo Yanze's heartbeat and breathing stopped for an instant.His Adam's apple moved slightly, and finally he couldn't help but ask the question that he had struggled with for a long time: "Are you going to have dinner with Zhong Mengshi?"
As if aware of the strangeness in his own words, Huo Yanze explained with a rare twinkle in his eyes: "I didn't mean to listen, but the voice was a little loud just now and I accidentally heard it."
The smile on Jiang Yu's face froze for a moment. Although he was very close just now and expected that the man should be able to hear it, he didn't expect him to ask directly in Huo Yanze's style, but he didn't like Huo Yanze's special explanation to himself One sentence.
Seeing the man's tall figure in black clothes seemed to be blending into the night, he pretended to look into the distance calmly, but his eyes glanced at himself from time to time, very concerned about the answer to the question and his own attitude.Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he quietly suppressed the smirk at the corner of his mouth very professionally.
Jiang Yu lowered his head and pretended to think for a long time, and quietly hid the cunning in his eyes, then looked up at the man with some hesitation: "Actually, he already apologized to me for Brother Zhong last time. I didn't take it too seriously. But I really haven't thought about eating, but after all, he is a senior and my senior. If the relationship in the same company is too stiff..."
"Don't go." Before Jiang Yu's play was over, the man on the opposite side stepped forward with a gloomy expression, and interrupted him in an unquestionable tone.
The distance between the two of them approached in an instant, and the man's aura instantly surrounded him forcefully. Jiang Yu was a little dazed, and responded with an absent-minded "Huh?"But suddenly, his right hand was grabbed by the big palm, and Huo Yanze took out a delicate black box as if by magic, and put it in his palm, with the familiar blue envelope underneath.
Thinking of his own name written in the boy's eloquent handwriting on the envelope, Jiang Yu's heart trembled suddenly, and he raised his head in surprise and met the man's eyes. At this time, the moonlight seemed to be immersed in his deep eyes. In it, a layer of touching light burst out.
In the next second, Jiang Yu heard that magnetic and deep voice sounding beside his ears, his unique gentleness seemed to be sewn on his ending, and there was also some imperceptible tension.
"Happy New Year, this is the second year with you, and the fifth year I like you."
Although I heard Huo's mother say this a few days ago, Jiang Yu still couldn't suppress his beating heart when he really heard Huo Yanze say this, and his mind went blank.
I don't know if Huo Yanze calculated the time specially. In the next second, before Jiang Yu could react, the music fountain behind him lit up instantly, and tall water jets spewed out with the rhythm of the music, climbing up layer by layer. Converging into different patterns, the fountain formed misty water mist and hung on Jiang Yu's long eyelashes. The dreamy mist made people feel like they were in a fairyland on earth, but the boy's eyes stayed motionless on the man.
The sound of gurgling water and the man's voice were intertwined, but the deep voice reached the boy's ears more firmly and powerfully than any surrounding ones.
"Jiang Yu, I like you."
Huo Yanze, who was not afraid of the sky and the ground, saw the child's bewildered expression, and couldn't help softening his voice, but his tone was firm.
"Would you like to... stay with me?"
The person who always loves to tease him but always cares most about him and cares about his feelings.
The man who was willing to block all the wind and rain for him but kept silent.
The man who is willing to light a lamp just for him.
In this dreamlike fog environment, Jiang Yu clearly saw his own figure reflected in Huo Yanze's eyes.
This moment has overcome everything.
Under the man's gaze, feeling his heart beating like thunder and the sound of his heavy breathing, Jiang Yu was about to open his mouth with his obvious thoughts, but was suddenly stopped by a tender and sweet voice.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Brother Jiang Yu, look at it! It's a fountain in the shape of fireworks!"
Jiang Yu was a little dazed, and when he turned around, he saw that familiar little figure running towards him. Seeing that it was him, the nurse smiled apologetically, and Jiang Yu half squatted down and opened his arms towards the little girl. She caught him with a smile on her face.
The fountain is constantly changing its appearance. It was the first time I saw the grand scene of the music fountain at the door after so many visits. Mu Mu, who is usually a villain, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear and was very excited.
"Wow, look, look! It's an arch bridge!"
"Ah! What is this! Is it a big peacock!"
"Uncle Huo, why don't you watch it? Why are you a little unhappy?"
The corners of Huo Yanze's lips were slightly tensed, and an imperceptible annoyance flashed between his brows, and the disgust in his eyes almost overflowed when he looked at Mumu.The man clenched his fist slightly with his right hand and let it go. After several repetitions, he took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face to persuade himself not to hit the child.
As the music draws to an end, the huge water curtain slowly shrinks, regains its splendid beauty under the colorful lights, and turns into gurgling water.Satisfied, Mu Mu got up from beside Jiang Yu and shook the water droplets on his body, beckoning him to go back to the drink shop to warm up together.
But Jiang Yu carefully smoothed the little girl's somewhat messy hair, and discussed: "You can go to the nursing sister first, okay, I will go over after a few words with your Uncle Huo, and I will ask the little boss to help us Reserve two seats."
Mu Mu, who was called the boss, was naturally happy, and immediately ran to the nurse's sister, patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely reserve the best seats for you."
Huo Yanze folded his arms around his chest and looked at the big and small who didn't know what to talk about. Seeing that the little one left first, although he didn't get an answer, Huo Yanze didn't know how to speak again, and changed the subject in an unnatural tone: "Go Let's go together."
A gleam flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, expressing
I don't know what the boy thought of, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously held a smile. The bright almond eyes flickered like casting a clear sky in people's hearts, clear and gentle.
But when he noticed that the boy had just washed his hair and there were still drops of water on the ends of his hair, Huo Yanze frowned slightly, and the emotion in his eyes faded a little.He took a dry towel and put it on the boy's head in a rough motion, and while wiping his hair awkwardly, he complained in a bad tone: "Why are you looking at the music box? Does it look familiar?"
Jiang Yu, who was immersed in the memories, went dark, and then felt the man's palm gently covering his head, his movements were gentle and clumsy.
In the next second, the towel was ruthlessly thrown aside by the man. He took out the hair dryer from the drawer, and before Jiang Yu took it, the man cleverly avoided his palm and turned on the power.
The warm wind and the temperature of the man's fingertips crossed over every part of Jiang Yu's head, just like the hot and forbearing emotion of the man behind him, calmly and gently teasing Jiang Yu's heart, swaying Layer upon layer of ripples.
While blowing his hair, Jiang Yu could vaguely see some old red strings on his wrists strung together with prayer beads. The beautiful knots were tied by himself back then.
It never changed.
Jiang Yu's face became even hotter from the warm wind.
His hair was obviously not very long, but he felt that the man had blown it for a long time, and he didn't stop until the tip of his hair was completely dry,? Then he turned to his slightly wet hair and started a new round of blow blowing .He still didn't forget to pat Jiang Yu to drive him away with disgust, and asked him to give up his position.
For the man's ruthless actions, if Jiang Yu had pouted his mouth before and pretended to give him an angry look, he would have walked away without looking back.But ever since he knew the man's intentions, Jiang Yu had already seen every movement of the old fox like a mirror.
Help blow hair for so long?You just want to stay with me for a while.
Drive me away after blowing?That must be embarrassing.
Jiang Yu, who had already blushed from embarrassment, was sitting triumphantly on the sofa, his bright almond eyes curved into an elegant arc, secretly speculating on the man's little thoughts.
When Huo Yanze dried his hair half-dried and was about to put away the hair dryer, he turned around and saw that Jiang Yu hadn't gone back yet, but was just sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a smirk, resting his chin with one hand, looking at him with great interest. with him.
A trace of surprise flashed in Huo Yanze's eyes, he slightly raised his eyebrows and teased: "Why, my roommate and I are used to not going back to sleep alone?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu ignored his teasing, instead smiled meaningfully at him, blinked mischievously and pointed to the clothes on the sofa: "I put the coat here for you."
Huo Yanze raised his eyes slightly: "You want to talk about this after waiting for a long time?"
Jiang Yu didn't answer, but slowly got up from the sofa, put on the slippers very decently under the gaze of the man, and smiled at him with the best camera sense: "Good night, sweet dreams!"
Huo Yanze was slightly taken aback by being teased by the child unexpectedly.Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this little guy's gourd, he still responded in a muffled voice: "Well, good night."
Jiang Yu walked out of the room one step at a time with his head up, and he didn't forget to look back, smile and wink at the man before closing the door.
Huo Yanze hinted that he wanted to stay in the room overnight?
Should it be considered more natural when you first came out?
The angle of his smile is so good, will he be unable to fall asleep after saying good night?
Hearing the footsteps gradually going away and the door closing next door, Huo Yanze sighed inaudibly. For some reason, Jiang Yu was the same as usual tonight, but something made him unable to speak out, like a cat's tail on his heart Swipe across, it's extraordinarily sultry.
The man's eyes shifted to the music box next to him, seeing the tightly closed lid as if Jiang Yu hadn't had time to open it, Huo Yanze finally felt relieved.The man's slender fingers gently slid across the wooden music box, carefully turning the mainspring, and following the notes he had heard countless times, he opened the music box, looking at the photo in the middle, the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously.
In the end, there is no handsome photo of Huo Shao in the middle of the music box, but a well-behaved sunny boy.
Looking at some slightly yellowed photos, it seems to touch the softness of the man's heart. This is a photo that Jiang Yi took and privately sent to him when Jiang Yu graduated.At that time, he was competing in Sweden. Taking advantage of the short meal break just after the game, he foolishly ran all over the streets and alleys of Queen Street in Stockholm, and finally found a photo shop that can develop photos.
He still remembers his uncontrollable emotions when he got that photo. He insisted on leaving home to play games, and stood alone on the street in a foreign country. Just looking at the photo in his hand made his eyes, who have always been able to control his emotions, blush.
Even looking at still photos, he seems to be able to imagine what happened when the photo was taken.
In the photo, Jiang Yu, who graduated from high school, is sitting calmly on his desk to pack his things. The book on his desk is in stark contrast to the empty desk next to him.The person who took the picture shouted something to him, the boy turned his face to the camera, and smiled slightly, with a green and sunny smile, which made everything around him eclipse in an instant.
This smile was completely imprinted in Huo Yanze's heart for many years.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yu finally got to know everyone in the Huo family. Brother Huo, who was busy with the company all year and finally took his annual leave, left Mumu to his parents and took his wife on a trip. Huo Er, who seemed cynical Brother was the champion rapper of the rap show some time ago, but he is more famous than him recently because of his scandal with Su Nianhe, but Jiang Yu is most concerned about Director Zhizhi who is sitting at the end of the dining table chatting with Papa Huo.
Papa Huo: "How's the movie going?"
Zhizhi: "Let's just leave it at that. Now award-winning literary and artistic films don't make money, and I don't want to make commercial films. Fortunately, winning awards also has some false prestige, so it's fine if you don't pay."
Huo Yanze slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy next to him, he took a mouthful of cabbage absent-mindedly in front of his favorite dish, and seriously listened to the chat over there as a class.He smiled helplessly, cut his steak according to the texture and put it in front of the boy to replace the plate, and took the initiative to talk to his uncle: "Uncle, do you think you can make money by adapting my movie?"
Director Zhizhi was taken aback for a moment, looked at his nephew who was eyeing him and Jiang Yu who looked nervous, and said with a light smile, "I'm sure I'll get back to the original, the script this time is really good, but how about the specific film coming out?" It still depends on Xiao Jiangyu to work hard with us."
Facing Director Shangzhizhi's gentle and somewhat encouraging gaze, Jiang Yu instantly sat up straight, his eyes were very firm and he nodded his head: "I will definitely work hard!"
Seeing the cute appearance of the child being called in class, everyone couldn't help laughing.Seemingly aware that his reaction was a bit too formal, Jiang Yu touched his head a little embarrassedly, and then heard Director Zhizhi continue: "Now I feel that it was a very correct idea to confirm that Ozawa was casting the role, and in addition You have been interacting frequently recently and it is a good publicity for me in disguise. Don't forget to continue to operate during the Chinese New Year. What is the name of your group..."
The sister-in-law Baihe who had been kowtowling candy since she sat down on the opposite side immediately added: "Sanjiang Qize!"
Director Zhizhi patted his thigh: "Yes, that's right, plus the live broadcast effect some time ago, this kind of natural publicity is much better than ordinary publicity topics and publicity. No, you all have it before our movie starts. Fans support club, and I followed Fanchao a while ago."
As soon as Baihe put down his chopsticks, his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! I also paid attention!"
Huo's mother also joined the discussion: "Did you push Xiaohe to me some time ago? I also paid attention!"
Jiang Yu's smile instantly froze on his face, not knowing what expression to make.
What is it like to listen to your CP's family members discussing him and your CP?
He quietly picked up the water glass to hide his nervousness, and tiptoedly tugged at the man's sleeve under the dining table to seek help, but Huo Yanze gave him a reassuring look and patted him lightly. After holding his hand, he joined the discussion calmly.
Huo Yanze: "I paid attention too."
???
Jiang Yu's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and almost spit out a mouthful of water.
The dining table, which was originally full of joy and laughter, fell into a strange silence for an instant. In the blink of an eye, Bai He and Huo's mother exchanged meaningful glances tacitly, suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and came to a conclusion by coincidence.
Huo Yanze is promising!Good luck!
Jiang Yu's hand that was holding the corner of the man's clothes froze slightly. He opened his mouth slightly in surprise and turned his head. He was caught off guard by the deep eyes of the man. Because of the short distance, he could even see the reflection in the man's eyes. own figure.
Although I knew that he liked me, I didn't expect to say such suggestive words in front of all my family members.
What kind of experience does my CP and his family care about our CP?
Mumu's eyes turned around on his lord, his big eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at his parents curiously: "Mom, what is Sanjiang Qize?"
Jiang Yu has already started to pray that there are aliens who can take him away immediately.
Bai He smiled slightly, and gently stroked his daughter's head: "Ah, you have to ask your third uncle, he understands best."
Huo Yanze, the sensible man, curled his lips slightly, and carefully peeled the prawns for the ignorant and well-behaved CP next to him and put them in a bowl. On the other hand, Jiang Yu's face was still crimson, reddening to his fair neck.
Four years away from home, I watched men, women and children at home gather together, sitting around a round table, everyone sincerely said the simplest blessings and familiar laughter, and raised their glasses together in a warm room filled with the aroma of vegetables They all expressed their best yearning for the new year, which gradually aroused the most familiar yet unfamiliar taste of the year in Huo Yanze's memory.
It seems to be the same when I was a child. I would go to set off firecrackers with my eldest brother and second brother after dinner, and my parents would prepare pear water at home, watching the Spring Festival Gala and waiting for them to come back from playing.
But now even though fireworks and firecrackers are banned in the urban area, the New Year's laughter without firecrackers is more clear to the ears, and the blessings are more logically penetrated into everyone's ears, like a warm current slowly flowing into the bottom of my heart.
And the most different thing about Chinese New Year this year is that there is one more person next to him.
Huo Yanze curled his lips contentedly as he looked at the little guy who was munching on his head.
This was the reunion he was most looking forward to.
After the meal, just as Huo Yanze sat on the sofa and was about to take a break, Mu Mu, who usually ignored him, poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.
The boiled water at a suitable temperature and the sweetly smiling little girl in front of him made Huo Yanze raise his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't help but worry about the quality of this glass of water, so he didn't dare to take it directly.
But Mu Mu didn't care, and put the water glass into his hand domineeringly with his small hand: "Third Uncle, drink water, don't be polite."
Huo Yanze spent all his time looking at the child who went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and a meaningful smile flashed across his lips: "Say it, child, what can I ask for?"
Mumu smiled at him, and tugged at his sleeves with his chubby little hands: "My dad bought me a lot of small fireworks and firecrackers. I want to go outside with Brother Jiang Yu, but I have to drive far, far away. Fireworks can only be set off at a distance, brother Jiang Yu said he can't drive..."
Huo Yanze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you ask your dad to drive you there?"
"Father said he has very important things to do tonight, so he compensated me with a lot of fireworks!" Huo Yanze couldn't help but sneered when he saw the little girl with her arms outstretched, and then heard the little girl continue Added: "And my father also said, you want to stay with Brother Jiang Yu, as long as Brother Jiang Yu goes, you will definitely go, anyway, you will have nothing to do at night when you are single, and no one will look for you during the Chinese New Year. "
"Really, third uncle?"
Huo Yanze: "..."
Well, you Huo Shiyan, you and your wife are chic at night after buying fireworks, and you still make fun of me with your kids?
The man gritted his teeth for half a second, sighed inaudibly, and then accepted the drudgery of taking care of the children on the New Year's Eve.
He casually glanced at Jiang Yu who was on the phone on the other side of the balcony, his eyes became softer unconsciously.
After all, Jiang Yu should like the fun of setting off fireworks.
Huo Yanze put down the water glass in his hand and asked Mu Mu to pack her exclusive schoolbag first, then he got up and casually walked to the small balcony over there, he could vaguely hear the voice of the boy on the phone, polite and a little alienated.
"...No, I still have money."
"It's working fine and smooth."
"Okay, Happy New Year."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sneered when he saw the call time displayed on the screen was less than 2 minutes.Obviously it was the mother who hadn't spoken on the phone for two months, but after she got through the line, she could talk for less than 2 minutes.
As the screen of the phone was locked, he felt as if he had fallen into the boundless night together in an instant, and the biting winter wind in the middle of the night made him feel a little sentimental.Looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside, but none of them belonged to him, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sighed deeply when he thought of this, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man standing behind him.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes in disbelief, his long eyelashes cast light shadows, and tried hard to hide his little emotions, when he heard the man's deep voice resounding in the dark night, there was a bit of unique gentleness.
"Finished?"
Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes."
Huo Yanze walked over directly, stood beside him, put his coat on his shoulders lightly, and asked casually, "Auntie, are you still abroad?"
The warmth from the coat made Jiang Yu feel a little relieved, and he smiled indifferently: "Well, she usually doesn't go back to China if she has nothing to do."
Although Jiang Yu's tone was light, Huo Yanze caught the point. Since high school, Jiang Yu has lived alone and was forced to practice good cooking skills. He is rarely seen in contact with his mother. It seems that apart from living expenses, he The communication between mother and him is almost zero.Even though it is an important festival for family reunion like Chinese New Year, it is actually not important to Jiang's mother.
Looking at the usually gentle and casual boy, who seemed to care nothing about anything, he took off his protective shell at this time, and showed his weakest side in front of him without any scruples.
Huo Yanze's heart twitched suddenly, and the concern and distress could not be hidden in his eyes.
Jiang Yu didn't notice it, he just propped his chin with one hand and looked into the distance with some blank eyes.Maybe it was because I felt too much kindness from my family today, or maybe it was because I just finished talking with my mother on the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but murmured to the endless night: "Tell me, will there be a lamp just for me in the future?" And bright..."
After saying this, Jiang Yu himself couldn't help laughing, and patted his head twice, which was blown silly by the night wind: "Hey, what am I talking about..."
"Brother Jiang Yu, Third Uncle! Let's go! Beep!" Outside the balcony, Xiao Mumu put his own small schoolbag on his back, urging with unconcealed anticipation and excitement on his face.
Hearing the innocent and lovely voice of the little girl, Jiang Yu immediately adjusted his mood and smiled at Mumu: "Okay, wait for me to change my clothes."
"Yeah!" Mu Mu jumped up and down to show off to grandma, and went to the door to change shoes and get ready to go.
Although he was a bit reluctant to give up the warm coat on his body, Jiang Yu took it off and handed it to Huo Yanze with a thankful smile, but he didn't expect that the man grabbed his wrist straight, and only heard him say something abruptly.
"There will be."
"Huh?" Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled but did not respond.
Huo Yanze did not let go, but held it tighter, his eyes were firm and unquestionable, the next second, a deep voice rang in his ears, but the plain words made Jiang Yu's heart tremble like the warmest oath.
"Jiang Yu, there will always be a lamp, and I only wish to light it for you alone."
After finishing speaking, Huo Yanze raised the corners of his lips lightly, let go of his hand and rubbed the boy's head in a daze, and unconsciously showed a little affection in his eyes: "Let's go, take the two of you to set off fireworks together. "
After driving for half an hour, I finally arrived at the place where fireworks are allowed in the outer ring. There were already a few waves of people coming to set off fireworks nearby. After finding a larger open space, Huo Yanze moved his stiff neck and was about to find a bench to sit on. Yes, but saw one big and one small put two fireworks into his hands.
Huo Yanze:?
Before coming here, Huo Yanze never thought that the fireworks that these two people said would be set off like this.
He looked helplessly at the two people who hid far away. Because of the cold weather, the older one and the younger one were wrapped up like two little squirrels, looking at him expectantly and nervously, signaling to light it up.
But because of the windy winter night, the flame of a lighter is unstable, and it is not a wise choice to light it directly, so Huo Yanze, who was forced to ban smoking because of Jiang Yu, managed to find half a pack of cigarettes from the car, under the urging of the two Lit and took a puff.
As Huo Yanze exhaled a puff of smoke, seeing the disgusted expressions of the big and the small at the same time, he couldn't laugh or cry, and muttered: "So, I'm here to be your driver and light the fireworks?"
"Then let me smoke and light fireworks, and now you still dislike me?"
Jiang Yu blinked at him innocently, and argued: "I don't smoke and I don't have a lighter, and you can't let Mumu light it, so I can only trouble Brother Ze."
After receiving Jiang Yu's suggestion, Mumu's milky voice added to the fire: "Third Uncle is the most handsome tonight, and he will be even more handsome when he lights up the fireworks."
Huo Yanze raised his eyebrows slightly, and aimed at the slightly coquettish 'Brother Ze' and 'Handsome', Huo Yanze's movements to get up and light the fireworks were also a little neater.
Jiang Yu hid not far away and covered half of his ears, watching the usually indifferent man slowly take apart the fireworks and put the fuses outside, bent his knees to check their positions before lighting them up with cigarette butts, striding forward with a smile on his face He ran over here, Jiang Yu's heart instantly bloomed like fireworks behind him, and the eyes he looked at the man couldn't help feeling a little bit shy.
He has been celebrating the New Year alone since high school, and he never thought that the New Year would be so interesting.
It never occurred to me that someone would be willing to fool around with him.
The man also said he would keep a lamp for himself.
Huo Shaoyan bought a wide variety of fireworks, and Huo Yanze let it go down for almost half an hour before two-thirds of it went down. Jiang Yu and Mu Mu in the auditorium at the side found a wooden chair far away to sit on it, and clapped their hands from time to time for the busy setting off. The fireworks people applaud and cheer.
After the last little firework was finally set off, Huo Yanze stretched his sore neck and waved to the audience not far away: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place, and I'll take a rest too."
As the car stopped slowly, Jiang Yu looked around, only to find that the resting place Huo Yanze mentioned was the music fountain in Wuxin Shopping Mall, the largest shopping mall in S City.
Because there will be a grand music performance in the evening, although the shopping mall is closed, the nearby small shops are still open. I walked to the nearby drink shop to warm up warmly, and greeted the waiter warmly.
Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "Mumu, do you come here often?"
Mumu smiled at him, and casually said to Jiang Yu like showing off a toy: "Yes, yes, this shopping mall belongs to our family."
Seeing Jiang Yu's very surprised appearance, Huo Yanze who was on the side explained thoughtfully: "The Wuxin shopping mall in S City is a project of Huo's Group. It is close to home and Mumu often comes here. This time it is a real small shopping mall. boss."
When Jiang Yu saw that there was Mumu's exclusive children's zone on the side of the beverage store, his eyes strengthened his respect for the little boss.
Huo Yanze, who came over with a hot drink, looked at the boy who was playing in the children's zone without blinking, with an envious look on his face, and couldn't help but tease: "You want to play too?"
"I didn't!" Jiang Yu smiled and complained about the man's strange brain circuit, and was about to take the hot drink from him very naturally.
But before Jiang Yu took it, the mobile phone that was originally in his pocket vibrated suddenly, and Jiang Yu took out the mobile phone with some doubts.Huo Yanze inadvertently glanced at the note on the caller ID on the screen, and instantly narrowed his eyes, feeling a little more dangerous.
Jiang Yu was also very surprised when he saw the caller ID. Since the incident in the bar last time, he and Zhong Mengshi have not had any contact. He did not expect to receive a call from a man now.
And it's still... in front of Huo Yanze.
I don't know if the man saw the caller ID just now, Jiang Yu still took the hot drink and gave him an apologetic look, looking at the man's eyes that were as hard to pry as a deep pool, he turned his head guiltily before answering the call. , try to be polite to the other end of the phone: "Hi, hello."
Hearing the unfamiliar address on the phone, the boy didn't call himself 'Brother Zhong' as usual, a gloomy flash of light flashed in Zhong Mengshi's eyes, and he covered it up calmly: "Xiaoyu is me, happy new year .”
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, besides being his senior, Jiang Yu responded very politely: "I also wish you a happy new year."
The drink shop was a bit noisy, but Huo Yanze, who was sitting next to him, could still hear the intimate address of the man opposite him, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.
Xiao Yu?
I don't know how familiar I thought it was.
The man on the other end of the phone continued: "I'm sorry for what happened before. If it's possible, can I treat you to dinner in the next year as compensation?"
Huo Yanze frowned slightly.
If you want to treat me to a meal, just tell me and make up for it. What can a meal make up for?
Jiang Yu didn't think much about it, and directly declined, "I guess I'll be filming after the next year, so you'll probably be very busy without Brother Zhong."
The man on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, and seemed to sigh before continuing to find a topic with a forced smile: "I heard that the crew of "TA" also approached you recently? The role of the schoolmaster."
"I have found it, but I haven't considered it yet." Thinking of the brotherhood that has nothing to do with the novel, Jiang Yu's heart is not very inclined to act.
Zhong Mengshi: "The film crew also found me, and very much hoped that I would play the role of Xueba."
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned. After all, with Zhong Mengshi's title as actor, he had the opportunity to choose better scripts and resources, and he didn't use the unrecognizable brotherhood in the adaptation of "TA" to increase the popularity.
In the next second, before he could speak, a gentle and calm voice from the other end of the phone answered his doubts: "If you agree, I will answer directly."
Zhong Mengshi: "Xiao Yu, I want to cooperate with you."
Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and for some reason, he glanced reflexively at Huo Yanze next to him, swallowed lightly and didn't know how to answer: "I..."
The usually gentle man on the other end of the phone was uncharacteristically, and said in an unquestionably firm tone: "I'm waiting for your answer, including the answer about eating, and you don't have to refuse so quickly. Xiaoyu, happy new year."
Jiang Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, only to hear the voice of 'beep beep' from the other end of the phone, and the boy sighed inaudibly.
Seeing Jiang Yu's embarrassing and melancholy look, Huo Yanze's face darkened a bit, he touched the small box in his pocket as if he had finally made up his mind, and on the surface he invited calmly: "Jiang Yu, do you want to go out for a walk? "
Jiang Yu raised his head in confusion: "Then I'll call Shang Mu Mu together."
Thinking of this ghostly little light bulb, Huo Yanze didn't even want to refuse it directly: "No, there is a special person to take care of the children's zone, and we are nearby, so she can see it when she comes out."
Jiang Yu nodded, and saw the man help him stretch his sleeves, carefully avoid the wound, put on his coat, and then walk out alone.Jiang Yu put on his hat, and he explained to Mu Mu again and again before leaving.
Although there will be a grand musical fountain soon, the biting cold night wind has driven people to rest in small heated shops nearby, so that there are no people near the fountain.
As soon as Jiang Yu walked out of the door, he was immediately persuaded by the cold wind and wanted to return to the house, but the man in front seemed to see him coming out and turned around to walk towards the fountain. Jiang Yu breathed out the warmth and hurriedly followed him .The reason why he was wearing a hat was that he could only see that he was getting closer and closer to the man's generous back, but unexpectedly the man stopped in place after a slight pause. Jiang Yu's eyes widened, and he bumped into him unexpectedly. The first point of contact successfully opened up the distance between the two.
But this time, because of the windbreaker the man was wearing, the hat didn't make a mark on his back.
Hearing the gasp from the person in front of him, Jiang Yu raised his head slightly, and saw the handsome facial features that people still can't take their eyes off, long legs and narrow waist, men seem to be born with a kind of natural nobility but it makes people It was difficult to get close, but this time there was a meaningful smile on his lips, and he was looking at him with interest and waiting for him to say something.
Jiang Yu suppressed his smile, and naturally noticed that the man and himself remembered the first meeting in the bar after many years, so he followed the script that day, and said his opening words at that time: "Sorry sir, I'm sorry. Didn't see you."
Huo Yanze raised his eyes slightly, and after helping him to straighten his hat thoughtfully, he confronted him with the lines of the year with a little teasing: "If you have bad eyes, don't wear a hat indoors."
Jiang Yu didn't get into a rage like that day, but his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he winked mischievously at him and said lightly without following the script: "But Mr. Huo, we are outside now."
The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and then smiled at each other as if in a tacit understanding.
Watching the boy pull off his mask to reveal most of his face, looking at him with smiling eyes against the light, the tiny light sprinkled on his body seemed to form a soft circle of light, Huo Yanze's heartbeat and breathing stopped for an instant.His Adam's apple moved slightly, and finally he couldn't help but ask the question that he had struggled with for a long time: "Are you going to have dinner with Zhong Mengshi?"
As if aware of the strangeness in his own words, Huo Yanze explained with a rare twinkle in his eyes: "I didn't mean to listen, but the voice was a little loud just now and I accidentally heard it."
The smile on Jiang Yu's face froze for a moment. Although he was very close just now and expected that the man should be able to hear it, he didn't expect him to ask directly in Huo Yanze's style, but he didn't like Huo Yanze's special explanation to himself One sentence.
Seeing the man's tall figure in black clothes seemed to be blending into the night, he pretended to look into the distance calmly, but his eyes glanced at himself from time to time, very concerned about the answer to the question and his own attitude.Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he quietly suppressed the smirk at the corner of his mouth very professionally.
Jiang Yu lowered his head and pretended to think for a long time, and quietly hid the cunning in his eyes, then looked up at the man with some hesitation: "Actually, he already apologized to me for Brother Zhong last time. I didn't take it too seriously. But I really haven't thought about eating, but after all, he is a senior and my senior. If the relationship in the same company is too stiff..."
"Don't go." Before Jiang Yu's play was over, the man on the opposite side stepped forward with a gloomy expression, and interrupted him in an unquestionable tone.
The distance between the two of them approached in an instant, and the man's aura instantly surrounded him forcefully. Jiang Yu was a little dazed, and responded with an absent-minded "Huh?"But suddenly, his right hand was grabbed by the big palm, and Huo Yanze took out a delicate black box as if by magic, and put it in his palm, with the familiar blue envelope underneath.
Thinking of his own name written in the boy's eloquent handwriting on the envelope, Jiang Yu's heart trembled suddenly, and he raised his head in surprise and met the man's eyes. At this time, the moonlight seemed to be immersed in his deep eyes. In it, a layer of touching light burst out.
In the next second, Jiang Yu heard that magnetic and deep voice sounding beside his ears, his unique gentleness seemed to be sewn on his ending, and there was also some imperceptible tension.
"Happy New Year, this is the second year with you, and the fifth year I like you."
Although I heard Huo's mother say this a few days ago, Jiang Yu still couldn't suppress his beating heart when he really heard Huo Yanze say this, and his mind went blank.
I don't know if Huo Yanze calculated the time specially. In the next second, before Jiang Yu could react, the music fountain behind him lit up instantly, and tall water jets spewed out with the rhythm of the music, climbing up layer by layer. Converging into different patterns, the fountain formed misty water mist and hung on Jiang Yu's long eyelashes. The dreamy mist made people feel like they were in a fairyland on earth, but the boy's eyes stayed motionless on the man.
The sound of gurgling water and the man's voice were intertwined, but the deep voice reached the boy's ears more firmly and powerfully than any surrounding ones.
"Jiang Yu, I like you."
Huo Yanze, who was not afraid of the sky and the ground, saw the child's bewildered expression, and couldn't help softening his voice, but his tone was firm.
"Would you like to... stay with me?"
The person who always loves to tease him but always cares most about him and cares about his feelings.
The man who was willing to block all the wind and rain for him but kept silent.
The man who is willing to light a lamp just for him.
In this dreamlike fog environment, Jiang Yu clearly saw his own figure reflected in Huo Yanze's eyes.
This moment has overcome everything.
Under the man's gaze, feeling his heart beating like thunder and the sound of his heavy breathing, Jiang Yu was about to open his mouth with his obvious thoughts, but was suddenly stopped by a tender and sweet voice.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Brother Jiang Yu, look at it! It's a fountain in the shape of fireworks!"
Jiang Yu was a little dazed, and when he turned around, he saw that familiar little figure running towards him. Seeing that it was him, the nurse smiled apologetically, and Jiang Yu half squatted down and opened his arms towards the little girl. She caught him with a smile on her face.
The fountain is constantly changing its appearance. It was the first time I saw the grand scene of the music fountain at the door after so many visits. Mu Mu, who is usually a villain, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear and was very excited.
"Wow, look, look! It's an arch bridge!"
"Ah! What is this! Is it a big peacock!"
"Uncle Huo, why don't you watch it? Why are you a little unhappy?"
The corners of Huo Yanze's lips were slightly tensed, and an imperceptible annoyance flashed between his brows, and the disgust in his eyes almost overflowed when he looked at Mumu.The man clenched his fist slightly with his right hand and let it go. After several repetitions, he took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face to persuade himself not to hit the child.
As the music draws to an end, the huge water curtain slowly shrinks, regains its splendid beauty under the colorful lights, and turns into gurgling water.Satisfied, Mu Mu got up from beside Jiang Yu and shook the water droplets on his body, beckoning him to go back to the drink shop to warm up together.
But Jiang Yu carefully smoothed the little girl's somewhat messy hair, and discussed: "You can go to the nursing sister first, okay, I will go over after a few words with your Uncle Huo, and I will ask the little boss to help us Reserve two seats."
Mu Mu, who was called the boss, was naturally happy, and immediately ran to the nurse's sister, patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely reserve the best seats for you."
Huo Yanze folded his arms around his chest and looked at the big and small who didn't know what to talk about. Seeing that the little one left first, although he didn't get an answer, Huo Yanze didn't know how to speak again, and changed the subject in an unnatural tone: "Go Let's go together."
A gleam flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, expressing
