On the New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar, Xiang Gu and Tan Yiming couldn't eat hot pot, and on the Lunar New Year's Eve, this hot pot must be made up.
In fact, both of them love spicy food, but they have to protect their throats because of work, so they can only eat the soup pot pitifully every time. Taking advantage of this holiday, the two no longer have to look forward to the future, and the spicy pot is open to eat.
In addition to the pot bottom ingredients, Tan Yiming bought a lot of shabu-shabu, vegetables, fish balls, shrimp slips, and the amount was enough for the whole family to eat.
After ten o'clock in the morning, Tan Yiming got busy: Washing and cutting the vegetables, taking out the rolls of mutton in advance to defrost...
Xiang Guai said in surprise: "Although the New Year's Eve reunion dinner needs to be prepared in advance, it doesn't need to be so early, right?" He looked at the dishes on the table and had a headache: "Also, you have prepared too much, no Are we going to spend the whole Spring Festival eating leftovers from the New Year's Eve?"
"No." Tan Yiming said firmly, "I will definitely finish eating."
"…?"
Soon, the mystery was revealed—Tan Yiming actually invited two guests to come to the house for the holiday and have a reunion dinner together!
And the guests he invited were none other than Xiang Chai's best friends in high school, Chen Ziran and Jin Qiji.
When the two friends walked into the living room with smiling faces and stopped in front of them, Xiang Guai was struck by this sudden huge surprise and couldn't recover for a long time.
"You... how are you two... "
"Surprise or not, surprise or not?" Chen Ziran put his hands in his pockets and said, "Your partner is really interesting. For this dinner party, you contacted me a month in advance. I managed to squeeze in an hour. If you have spare time, stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, and I will rush to the venue after I finish eating!"
Xiang Guai asked dumbly, "What venue?"
"What other venue?! The Spring Festival Gala venue!" Chen Ziran jumped, "Wow, you said it's a brother, why don't you care about me at all? The entry 'Chen Ziran Spring Festival Gala Program' has been on the hot search for two days. Didn't you see it?"
In order to gild Chen Ziran, his brokerage company made a lot of connections and spent a lot of money. They packaged him and other companies' little fresh meat together to form a platter show and sent it to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala asked all the actors to arrive in advance. Chen Ziran resisted the agent's death gaze and squeezed out an hour's lunch break to accompany Xiang Guai to eat this meal.
"Okay, okay, this well-known male artist, do you want me to hire a yangko team downstairs to beat gongs and drums to help you promote the Spring Festival Gala?" Qi Ji deliberately ran on him.
These two people, they are about to pinch within three minutes of getting together.
Qi Ji was holding a fruit basket in her left hand and a bag of Korean specialties in her right hand.
Compared with half a year ago, her body has added a softness and intelligence that is unique to a woman. Her short hair covers her ears just right, and her whole person is filled with a sense of happiness.
She raised her hand and pinned her short hair behind her ear, the diamond engagement ring glittering on her finger.
Xiang Gu asked her, "Did you come alone? Where's your fiancé?"
"He accompanies his parents in the hotel." Qi Ji smiled, "This year's Spring Festival, the two parents wanted to meet and talk about marriage, so his parents flew to China. Just arrived in Huacheng yesterday, This afternoon's flight back to my house."
"This, getting married so early?" Chen Ziran blurted out, "Didn't you just get engaged half a year ago?"
His gaze involuntarily fell on Qi Ji's lower abdomen, seeing her round and bulging belly, could it be...
"Chen! Son! Yes! What are you looking at?!" Qi Ji shouted, "I'm a real belly. Forget all the third-rate and vulgar episodes in your head!"
Chen Ziran hurriedly retracted his gaze and pouted, "I didn't say anything... You took the seat by yourself."
With the two of them around, the atmosphere in the whole room was stirred up.
Time was tight, so Tan Yiming quickly greeted the two of them to sit down.
This was the first time a guest came to visit after Tan Yiming and Xiang Guai lived together.
Xiang Guai was Tan Yiming's tenant before, and the "tenant" was also a "guest". Xiang Guai always felt that he was an outsider. But now, he has become Tan Yi's well-known boyfriend, a member of the family, and the owner of the house.
For the first time, he was the "master", nervous and excited, with a smirk on his face. He poured juices for the guests for a while, and added dishes and chopsticks to the guests for a while, and he couldn't stop for a minute.
The restaurant is not big, and the dining table is also a delicate four-seater square table. Usually, only Tan Yiming and Xiang Guai have dinner. The space is just right. Now that two people have been added, it is inevitable that it will be crowded.
Under the dining table, the legs of the four people collided.
Chen Ziran said in a strange voice: "Yo, who's big fat legs are on my knees!"
Qi Ji, who was sitting across from him, raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Whose chicken feet are you, why don't you go digging the ground?"
Chen Ziran had a big temper, and immediately knocked on the bowl: "Who are you saying is the chicken feet?"
Qi Ji was not to be outdone: "Who do you say has big fat legs?"
As they talked, the two of them started playing a boring game of you kicking me and I kicking you under the cover of the tablecloth, and they had to decide the outcome.
Tan Yiming: "... Excuse me."
Qi Ji and Chen Ziran looked at him at the same time.
Tan Yiming cleared his throat: "I was the one who kicked the two of you."
Qi Ji: "..."
Chen Ziran: "..."
Xiang Guai: "Pfft hahahahaha!!!"
Sure enough, New Year's Eve is all about being so noisy.
The hot pot base material in the pot gurgles and boils quickly.
Qi Ji took the lead and placed a chopstick of lamb first. The thinly sliced mutton is fully cooked in five seconds. The fresh and tender mutton is soaked in the delicious and refreshing spicy soup. When you eat it in one bite, all your taste buds are dancing with joy.
She wailed: "Korean spiciness is fake and sweet. Every time I go back to China, I have to eat the hot pot grilled crayfish in turn to soothe my Chinese stomach."
As she spoke, she slapped a chopstick of meat again, not being polite to the host at all.
Xiang Chai loves to eat all kinds of meatballs. Although people always complain that the meatballs are fake meatballs made of starch, he still eats them with relish. Tan Yiming specially chose a large bag of mixed meatballs from the supermarket this time. The little meatballs floated up and down in the hot pot soup. Xiang Guai guarded the meatballs with wide eyes, like a giant dragon guarding a treasure.
There is no colander at home, so Xiang Guai can't "catch all the balls", so he can only use chopsticks to clamp them one by one. But those little balls are not slippery, and when they are clipped, they fly to the other side of the pot with a swish.
Tan Yiming helped him catch those fugitives, small balls, fish balls, shrimp balls, egg dumplings, and the husband and wife worked together, and in a while, Xiang Guai's bowls were piled up into hills.
For those who don't know, they thought that Xiang Chai had packed an Oden.
The three people at the table were enjoying their meal, but Chen Ziran didn't move his chopsticks, just holding a glass of white water and drinking slowly.
Qi Ji said, "What's the matter?"
Chen Ziran rolled his eyes: "I looked to guess someone was serving vegetables, and I was waiting for someone to serve me vegetables."
"Big star, I'm used to you." Qi Ji snorted, but still took the initiative to fish out a few pieces of fat beef from the pot, and put it into Chen Ziran's bowl along with green vegetables and vermicelli.
Chen Ziran was stunned, looked at the spiky vegetables and meat in the bowl, and said after a while, "... I've known you for ten years, and this is the first time you've served me vegetables."
Tan Yiming was curious: "Ten years?"
Xiang Guai explained to him, "The High School Attached to Huawu is a six-year system, regardless of middle or high school. I switched to singing and dancing when I was in the fifth grade, and they have been classmates since the first grade."
Qi Ji nodded: "Yeah, Chen Ziran was my tablemate for four years before he turned to Xiang Guai."
"Ah..." This was the first time Xiang Guai knew about it.
From twelve years old to sixteen years old, from ignorant children to youthful years, Jin Qiji and Chen Ziran have been sitting side by side, and they can see another person as long as they turn their heads.
"I'm annoying him to death." Qi Ji was sulking, "I still had long hair back then, and he would pull my braids all day long, and he would always play some unsavory pranks! He was always passing me notes, I Ignoring him, he continued to spread the word, and as a result, I was invited by Teacher Chu as a parent... After that, Teacher Chu transferred us away. Later—"
Later, the campus prince Xiangchai was transferred into their class.
That is, on that day, the girl understood what it means to be in love.
"Okay, what happened when I was a child has long since passed, what's the point of turning it over now?" Chen Ziran interrupted her memory rashly and deliberately laughed, "Interview this Miss Jin, how does it feel to be 'Wanzai Wharf' ?"
Jin Qi's round eyes stared, and she roared, "Chen Ziran, you can't keep your mouth shut when you eat??"
This pair of enemies can always find a reason to quarrel, and they have quarreled for ten years.
Tan Yiming never thought that this well-known artist would be so rogue in private, he asked Xiang Guai in a low voice, "Don't you need to persuade him?"
Xiang Chai shook his head and replied softly, "Let's quarrel, there are not many chances for Zi Ran to quarrel with Qi Ji. Zi Ran is actually quite happy."
Before halfway through eating and drinking at the dinner table, Chen Ziran's mobile phone suddenly clacked into a bunch of WeChat messages, followed by the roar of the mobile phone.
Chen Ziran glanced at the screen, and Mao Du exploded: "Fuck, my manager's phone number!"
He quickly signaled everyone to be quiet, and then pressed the call button.
"Hey… "
Before he could finish speaking, the agent's voice rumbled loudly.
"Chen Ziran!! Where are you now???"
"Ah? I-Didn't I report to you, I'm having a party with my classmates?"
"Which classmate? How many? Where?"
"No, what's the matter?" Chen Ziran said impatiently, "Don't try me like a criminal, okay?"
The two quarreled over the airwaves, and the other three on the table looked at each other, not daring to speak. For a while, only the sound of the hot pot purring remained.
The agent took a rough breath: "Are you really at the class reunion?"
"Yes, I don't need to lie to you."
"Chen Ziran! Today is New Year's Eve, you should be preparing for the rehearsal at the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala! But half an hour ago, the paparazzi photographed you walking with a young pregnant woman. You both walked into a residential building with New Year's goods in your hands. !! Do you know that the news of your hidden marriage and childbearing has exploded on the Internet!!!"
Xiang Guai, who was on the sidelines: "…"
Tan Yiming, who was on the sidelines: "…"
Qi Ji, who was on the sidelines: "..."
Jin Qi slapped the table and roared, "Again, I'm fat!!! I'm not pregnant!!!"
This oolong incident is inexplicable, but who made Chen Ziran a rising traffic niche, he can get a hot search by cutting his hair and changing his hairstyle.
The agent said, let him send the party photos immediately, immediately, and now to clarify, not even a second later.
Chen Ziran answered obediently, hung up the phone, and sighed: "It's really hard to earn money, and shit is hard to eat."
The other three on the table looked at each other in dismay. They had just watched a storm in the entertainment industry up close. The real entertainment industry is much more chaotic than the news.
Chen Ziran handed the phone to Tan Yiming: "Brother Tan, please take a group photo of the three of us."
Tan Yiming asked familiarly, "Do you want to use beauty?"
Chen Ziran: "No, the young man is handsome and handsome, with a natural beauty!"
Qi Ji: "Go, adjust the face-lift to the highest level!"
Chen Ziran: "..."
Qi Ji: "..."
The two looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and put their heads aside.
Xiang Gu hurriedly rounded things up and asked, "Should we just sit and shoot like this? Do we need to change our posture?"
Chen Ziran thought for a while, then moved a chair and sat between Xiang Chai and Qi Ji.
"It's all natural."
As he said that, Chen Ziran stretched out his right hand and wrapped his arms around Xiang Guai's neck, and Xiang Guai leaned towards Chen Ziran's body.
Chen Ziran's other hand reached out to the girl on the left, but at the moment when his hand was about to put Qi Ji's shoulder, he paused - then, he raised his left hand to V and put it behind her head, for the sake of She made a "rabbit ear".
Chen Ziran showed a bright smile at the camera and urged, "Let's shoot."
So, Tan Yiming pressed the shooting button and captured the smiling faces of three young people of the same age.
This photo was taken very successfully. The three of them are good at dealing with the lens. The photo taken does not need to be edited, just adjust the color and it will be very beautiful.
Chen Ziran quickly posted the photo on Weibo, and at the same time circled the Weibo of Xiang Guai and Jin Qiji, saying that he would help them "increase their fans".
@陈子然V: [Shared photo] After graduating for many years, we finally reunited. Ten years of friendship, I wish the future is full of miracles [flowers]. @Musical actor-xiang guess @小金classmates in South Korea
As soon as Chen Ziran's clarification came out on Weibo, the wind immediately turned his back.
Qi Ji went to South Korea before graduating from high school, and has been studying and developing in South Korea for the past few years. Her Weibo is a purely private Weibo, recording her studies, sharing her thoughts, and a group photo with her fiancé in the Weibo... The most important thing The thing is, it can be seen from the photo album that she has been so fat for many years, and she is not pregnant at all.
In this way, Chen Ziran's hat of "unmarried and unmarried" was directly removed.
The melon eaters turned their attention to another person in the photo - the little brother who was hugged by Chen Ziran's neck, with delicate eyebrows, slender and straight, too [acceptable], right? ?
Everyone immediately flooded into Xiang Guai's Weibo, and carefully watched every Weibo he posted.
@eat melon passer a: Did I read it wrong? ? How did you see my new wall from Chen Ziran? ? Is my treasured brother finally being discovered?
@eatmelon passerbyb: I just found out that I have watched Xiang Guai's musicals... "Letter from Fans" and "First Love Wants to Take Advantage of the Present" are both performed by him, right? I didn't remember the name, but I remembered it when I saw my face.
@eat melon passer c: Since you're here, don't leave! Let me introduce to you our little brother Xiangchai! The top students of Huawu High School are recommended to Huawu Musical Theatre Department! Teana's voice + more than ten years of ballet skills, the new drama "Wait for a Extreme Day" is on a national tour!
@eat melon passer d: "Wait for a polar day"? Could it be the one dubbed by Wang Qingyun? It shocked my whole family, the circle of Nima is too small.
@eat melon passer e: Did you know that Xiang Guai and Chen Ziran are old classmates? As long as Xiang Guai has a drama tour, Chen Ziran will send flowers cards, which has been photographed many times by passers-by! Moreover, the relationship between Xiangchai and Wang Qingyun is too poor, and the relationship between plastic colleagues is over. In the previous variety show "Sound into the Ear", Wang Qingyun was drawn to the same group as Xiang Guai, and Xiang Guai refused directly, saying that he wanted to support Chen Ziran.
Tan Yiming, who saw these gossip comments: "… "
I really didn't expect that the ability of the people who eat melons is so magical, and actually turned out all the variety videos from more than half a year ago...
Tan Yiming really wanted to use a large size to reply to the passerby who eats melons. He and Xiang guess are not related to plastics - they sleep on the same bed at night, which is particularly flammable.
Forget it, it's a big holiday, so don't show affection.
…
This supposedly happy lunch ended abruptly. Chen Ziran only stayed for more than half an hour before being called away by the agent. The nanny car parked outside the community and waited for him. The agent said that if he did not show up within five minutes, he would come in. Arrest him.
Chen Ziran had no choice, and hugged Xiang Guai before leaving: "Brother, see you next year."
Xiang Chai also hugged him tightly: "Well, goodbye."
After hugging Xiang Gues, Chen Ziran turned to Qi Ji again, touched his nose awkwardly, and said, "...How about we hug one too?"
Qi Ji shivered: "It's too nauseous, I haven't hugged it for ten years."
"... That's why you want to hug one."
Qi Ji had no choice but to get up from her seat and greeted him with open arms.
It was an extremely short, yet extraordinarily long hug.
One of them is a popular traffic artist with countless fans, and any gesture can cause fans to scream; the other is a seemingly ordinary girl, but when she is standing on the stage of a drama, she will use Her acting is in full control.
In the past twenty years of their lives, they met for a short time, and then gradually grew into the appearance of not knowing each other.
"Goodbye." Qi Ji let go of his hand and took the lead from Chen Ziran's arms. She smiled cutely, just like many years ago, "Chen Ziran, I wish you a happy new year."
"Goodbye." Chen Ziran fixedly looked at the girl in front of him, and solemnly sent his blessing, "Jin Qiji, I wish you a happy wedding."
This unspoken feeling can finally be put down today.
The author has something to say: Goodbye, Ziran and Qiji.
