Picking up his mobile phone, Lu Wen moved to the door of the kitchen, leaning against the door frame to enjoy the scenery of a small piece of heaven and earth. Between the cooking counters, Qu Yanting wore an apron and cut vegetables skillfully and neatly.
He came to please him: "Teacher Qu, can I help?"
Qu Yanting simply said "no". He didn't dare to let Lu Wen enter the kitchen. It would be easy to smash a plate or bowl. In case of burns, electric shock, or fire, wouldn't it be that he fell in love and put his life on the line.
Seeing this, Lu Wen said, "Then I'll be in charge of washing the dishes."
Qu Yanting said, "I have a dishwasher."
Lu Wen had to concentrate on waiting to eat, sat down at the dining table, and played with the tablecloth, vase, and crystal pot. The phone rang, and there were two or three short WeChat notifications.
He opened the chat group, and when he changed the group name, the three grandsons all got mad.
Lian Yiming: So there is another gay in this group, what the hell
Su Wang: Who is it
Gu Zhuo said: "Also", that can exclude me first.
Lian Yiming: Of course not me.
Su Wang: Whoever quit the group by himself.
Lu Wen couldn't hold back anymore, and responded to Su Wang's appearance: You are too cold and heartless!
Su Wang: Looks like it's you.
Lian Yiming: Lu Wen, what are you fantasizing about
Gu Zhuoyan: Let him speak.
Lu Wenxuan raised his hands, not sure where to start. After thinking for a while, he decided to omit the foreshadowing and push the topic to the climax in one step. The editor said: It is officially announced that I am in love.
Su Wang: Fuck.
Lian Yiming: Fuck.
Gu Zhuo said: Fuck.
Lu Wen: You idiots!
Lian Yiming: Are you serious? !
Su Wang: With whom? From the entertainment industry
Lu Wen sent a "shy" expression in a mysterious way, and accompanied by the sound of hot oil in the kitchen, he replied: I am with Teacher Qu.
There was a dead silence, as if the other three had dropped the line at the same time.
After a while, Gu Zhuo said: Wow.
Su Wang: What the hell, get out of the way! Lu Wen, is that Mr. Qu the handsome man who was shown in the video
Lian Yiming: A man? Grandpa
Lu Wen: Yes.
Su Wang: Are you crazy!
Lian Yiming: Fucking absolutely crazy!
System prompt: Gu Zhuoyan changed the group name to "There is only one normal handsome gay in this group".
Lu Wen was one-on-three, poking his thumbs on the keyboard quickly, and the screen kept scrolling upwards. No one listened to the other, and sprayed more than 80 messages in one minute.
Lu Wen: I'm really tired.
Gu Zhuoyan: Let's do this, don't get excited.
Lian Yiming: Of course you are not excited, you have an extra teammate in the trenches.
Su Wang: Maybe Lu Wen was influenced by Gu Zhuoyan.
Gu Zhuoyan: Your uncle, let Wen'er talk about it in detail.
Su Wang: What can he say clearly? I asked. Wen'er, what is the identity of that Teacher Qu
Lu Wen: As a director, he is a current screenwriter and has a studio. He is the chief screenwriter and investor of my web drama.
Lian Yiming: Something.
Lu Wen: Nonsense, Teacher Qu is still a student of Zeng Zhen.
Su Wang: Is he interested in you
Lu Wen: Of course, it is very kind to me.
Gu Zhuoyan: How about it
There are too many to count down, and Lu Wen listed the most recent one: Do you know how much I like singing? I mentioned it to Teacher Qu, and he immediately arranged for me to sing the theme song.
Gu Zhuoyan: Is this called giving resources
Su Wang: Isn't this fucking unspoken/rule
Lian Yiming: Already... slept
Lu Wen: Is there something wrong with you? !
The fire was turned off in the kitchen, and the smell wafted out. Lu Wen typed: I stayed at Mr. Qu's house last night, and those who understand will understand, stop fucking chatting, I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Qu.
Throwing the phone aside, Lu Wen went to wash his hands and helped to set the table with the meal.
Qu Yanting made four dishes, stir-fried beef, enoki mushrooms, braised chicken wings and mapo tofu. He first poured a bowl of soup to drink, and said, "I didn't buy too much a year ago, so I used whatever was in the refrigerator."
"It's delicious." Lu Wen stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, "It's delicious!"
Qu Yanting laughed, he was also hungry after busy work, so he picked up the rice and took a big bite. The screen of the mobile phone on the table flickered, and the number of messages kept increasing. He reminded: "Your WeChat."
Lu Wen was gnawing on chicken wings: "It's okay, a liar who sells tea."
Qu Yanting couldn't bear the ringing, and said annoyedly, "Block him."
Lu Wen wiped his hands and opened the chat group he had left hanging. After a while, the three people had reached a consensus and asked to see Qu Yanting.
Eating with the right hand and typing under the table with the left, Lu Wen asked: What do you want to do
Lian Yiming: You're too unreliable, let's meet up and check it out for you.
Su Wang: Meet your patron for a while.
Gu Zhuoyan: Anyway, you haven't gotten together since you came back.
Lu Wen was a little tempted immediately, not for anything else. The image of Qu Yanting sitting alone in front of the window on New Year's Eve was engraved in his mind. He wanted the other party to know his friends and blend into his world to have fun together.
"Teacher Qu." He said tentatively, "I told Fa Xiao about our relationship."
Qu Yanting was taken aback for a moment: "It's only the first day... you just told me?"
Lu Wen said carelessly: "There is no secret between us, and I am so happy that I can't help it."
Qu Yanting asked, "Then how did they react?"
"The reaction was quite violent." Lu Wen beautified, "It's mainly for me, and I want to celebrate. Would you like to meet them?"
Qu Yanting quietly held the bottom of the bowl tightly, and rubbed his left and right feet on the floor under the table. He knew that Lu Wen liked him enough that he couldn't wait to let him meet his friends.
"Will it be too fast?" But he was a little scared.
Lu Wen said: "Unfortunately, back then, Gu Zhuoyan and Zhuang Fanxin didn't bother to say anything, we've seen each other before."
Qu Yanting fiddled with the mapo tofu in the bowl, and the red oil soaked the rice grains, just like the influence of a relationship on a person, it is menacing and unreasonable. He overcame his uneasiness and agreed, "Okay, you can arrange it."
The phone rang again, this time it was Sun Xiaojian who sent a recent job invitation as scheduled.
Lu Wen moved to the opposite side of the table, and as if asking for a teacher when encountering a problem, he showed Qu Yanting several crews who had come to him, and asked, "Teacher Qu, help me do the sums."
Based on experience, Qu Yanting said: "Clarify your focus, the crew, script, salary, and type of play, make a list of priorities in your mind, and find out according to the picture."
Lu Wen remembered and said, "Wow, there are still movies looking for me."
Qu Yanting knew without watching that Lu Wengang was well-known, but his works were lacking. The movies he found were either fast food movies or supporting roles with few roles.
"Think about it first." Qu Yanting said, "Do you plan to become a movie actor?"
Lu Wen said firmly, "I have."
Qu Yanting looked at him and said: "The starting point is very important. You can choose the movie book, it doesn't matter if it's a supporting role or a secondary role, you must first learn to adapt to the big screen."
Lu Wen nodded obediently, and said with emotion: "Teacher Qu, I met you earlier, so I should be able to get into Cambridge too."
Qu Yanting didn't hold his chopsticks firmly, and he didn't dare to think so much during the Great Leap Forward 4 period. He used the lines in "The First Night" to comment: "Ye Shan, do you have paranoia? Are you mentally ill?"
"Hey." Lu Wen gnawed on the chicken wings again.
"Wait a minute." Qu Yanting came to his senses, "Yes? So someone got into Cambridge?"
Lu Wen said, "There are two, Gu Zhuoyan and Su Wang."
Qu Yanting was shocked and said: "Your friend is from Cambridge?" He bit the word "you" very hard, as if to marvel that you, an illiterate, have friends who graduated from Cambridge.
Lu Wen was not very happy: "They have been top-notch in their studies since they were young, and they grew up in competitions. Together on weekends, they can study from seven o'clock in the evening to ten o'clock in the evening."
Qu Yanting asked: "Are you also studying?"
"I... play games." Lu Wen felt a sense of crisis, afraid that Qu Yanting would look down on him, "Don't look at them graduating from prestigious schools, they are actually grandsons, because they have no other advantages, so they can only study hard."
Qu Yanting was well aware of Lu Wen's innocence, and cooperated with the performance: "Then what are your strengths?"
Lu Wen said modestly: "We are all together, you can enjoy it slowly in the future."
In the afternoon, Lu Wen went to the company for a meeting to discuss his recent work plan and had a new haircut. Soaked in the studio until midnight, and took two sets of promotional photos.
In the next few days, Lu Wen was busy with interviews, filming commercials, and participating in prime-time variety shows with the crew of "Wan Nian Qiu". The happiest thing is that I passed the audition for the theme song of "The First Night".
Qu Yanting stayed at home every day to write scripts. Sometimes black and white were reversed, and he didn't pay attention when his phone was dead. Lu Wen came to his door at three in the morning and threatened to unplug his network cable.
The party was scheduled for the weekend, and it was too restrained in the restaurant. It happened that there was no warm house after moving, so Lu Wen simply invited everyone to Zishan Mingzhu.
He also had other intentions to let his friends understand that Qu Yanting is not a fresh boyfriend who just confirmed his relationship with him, but a partner who can enter the house and be another master.
On that day, Lu Wen drove Qu Yanting to Zishan. The sun was very good and the whole villa was warm.
Cooking was too troublesome, so everyone decided to eat hot pot, and Sister Lingling prepared the ingredients in advance. Qu Yanting picked everything in front of the freezer, wearing a small beige V-neck sweater, afraid that the ring would be worn out by cooking, so she wore it with a platinum necklace on her slender neck.
Lu Wen was setting up a parasol in the garden. There were three or five cars passing by in the small street. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the group: Are you coming soon? White Villa, can you find it
Gu Zhuoyan: Don't worry, there are close-ups of your mansion in the reality show.
Lu Wen: Don't be late.
Gu Zhuoyan: Mmm, see you later!
Lu Wen felt that something was wrong. At this time, the horn sounded, and a supercar braked to a stop at the open gate. After turning off the engine, Lian Yiming got out of the car with a long windbreaker in his arms, holding a heavy wooden box in his arms.
"Mingzi!" Lu Wen went up to meet him, "You come first."
Lian Yiming stepped into the garden, scanned around, and made an occupational evaluation of the green plants, turf, and layout design before answering: "I'm good at driving, let's go on."
Lu Wen hugged the box: "Damn, sink me to death."
"Sophie's winery in France was newly shipped." Lian Yiming said, "There are nine bottles in total, drink today."
Lu Wen suggested: "Let's drink beer today, it's weird to eat hot pot with wine."
Lian Yiming put his arm around his shoulders, and said bitterly, "Is eating hot pot the most important thing? The most important thing is to meet with your benefactor and find out whether what you are experiencing is love or a love transaction."
Lu Wen rolled his eyes: "Oh, do you rely on drinking wine for investigation?"
"What do you know?" Lian Yiming said, "Wine tastes like a person, I have to try your teacher Qu."
After the words fell, a high-riding off-road vehicle drove to the door and stopped behind Lian Yiming's supercar. When Su looked down, he had a fair complexion, a thin black shirt, and a square box in his hand.
As he got closer, Lu Wen saw it clearly: "Did you bring a fucking box of mahjong?"
Su Wang raised his eyebrows, with a sharp temperament, and said, "Yes, we can play after dinner."
Lu Wen was speechless. In terms of chess and cards, the money he lost to Su Wang since he was a child could build a building, and he said angrily, "It would be nice if you didn't take part in the housewarming banquet. You still want to win my money?"
Su Wang said disdainfully: "Whoever wants to play with you, I want to play with your teacher Qu."
Lu Wen's heart dropped back to his stomach, and he asked calmly: "It's not appropriate to go to the poker table when we meet for the first time?"
"What do you know?" Su Wang said, "A brand is like character. You can tell how a person's character is by seeing how he loses money."
Gu Zhuoyan simply waited a while before entering the house together. Two minutes later, the third car slowly stopped at the end, and Lu Wen, Lian Yiming and Su Wang looked over at the same time.
The driver's and co-pilot's doors opened together, Gu Zhuoyan carried the cake box, walked around the front of the car and entered the door side by side with Zhuang Fanxin. Zhuang Fanxin was not empty-handed either, holding a bunch of flowers with roots, probably planted in Lu Wen's garden.
Lu Wen almost burst into tears: "Finally, two normal people came."
"Why are you standing outside?" Gu Zhuoyan walked over with a smile, "Don't you just enter the houses of big stars?"
Lu Wen ignored him, and suddenly realized: "Fan Xin, was it you who replied to the message just now?"
Zhuang Fanxin nodded, and also smiled: "It's a little late to get the cake, congratulations on your move first, and congratulations on you—"
Gu Zhuoyan interrupted: "Bend."
In the villa, Qu Yanting had already heard the sound of engines one after another, and knew that Lu Wen's friends were arriving one after another. He walked out several times, and then turned back timidly, so nervous that his mouth was dry.
Finally, he summoned up the courage to go out again, walked through the living room and the hall, heard the chirping bickering, took a deep breath, pushed open the half-covered door, and showed himself on the steps.
Qu Yanting was slightly stunned. On the lawn under the steps, apart from Lu Wen, the four men stood relaxed in the sunshine, each with its own good looks. The comfort and smiles on every face are unreceived, like a group of... a best man group taking a break.
Lu Wen stood in the center and immediately called him: "Teacher Qu!"
Qu Yanting raised the corners of his mouth after several glances came over him, so blank that he didn't know what to say in the first sentence.
Everyone did not stand in the cold, and greeted him one after another. Some people shouted "Teacher Qu", some praised him as more handsome than in the video, and some directly asked why they fell in love with Lu Wen.
Before he knew it, Qu Yanting grinned.
The excitement of this moment seemed to fill the spring-like winter.
