Zhuang Baihua saw Chi Yue's strange expression and quickly patched it up: "I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I'm just saying that I'm older than you and may be able to replace your father. You can rely on me more."
Chi Yue stared at Zhuang Baihua and said, "I understand your thoughts, but I don't lack a father, I lack something else."
Zhuang Baihua was surprised: "What's missing?"
"I need..." Chi Yue pursed her lips and held back her words, "Anyway, don't get entangled with that person any more. If you see him, just beat him up."
He thought about it and decided once and for all: "I won't let you see him again." He glared at Zhuang Baihua and said, "Don't even think about being my dad."
Chi Yue added unhappily: "You are not allowed to treat me as your son either."
He raised his chin, his expression somewhat arrogant: "I am a man."
Zhuang Baihua suppressed his laughter and said, "My dear, our Chi Yue is a real man."
Chi Yuejian's explanation made things worse. He snorted and said gloomily, "You will be innocent from now on."
After saying this, he turned around and ran away as fast as he did before.
Zhuang Baihua looked at Chi Yue's back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that young people of this age didn't like being treated as children.
Zhuang Baihua was not thinking about it either, he just thought that Chi Jingye was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed, so he could let Chi Yue study in peace.
As for who was the murderer who killed Chi Jingye, Zhuang Baihua had a vague idea of a candidate, but he couldn't believe it in his heart, so he let the matter go. Anyway, Chi Jingye had brought it upon himself.
It was only a few days before the exam week, and Zhuang Baihua, apart from occasionally asking Chi Yue if she had done any review, was working hard all the time.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to finish his work quickly so that he could have time to accompany Chi Yue to the G City Amusement Park.
During the trip, he received a call from Luo Zhenduo. Zhuang Baihua thought that Luo Zhenduo's alcohol addiction had come back, so he asked him to go out for a drink. Before he could refuse, he heard Luo Zhenduo ask, "Didn't you say last time that you would take your poverty alleviation targets out to relax? Have you finally decided where to go?"
Zhuang Baihua thought, he had asked Luo Zhenduo for his opinion before, why was he asking about his opinion now
He answered honestly: "I listened to your recommendation and decided to take him to the amusement park after the final exam."
Luo Zhenduo paused on the other end of the phone: "You are so sincere that you really decided to go to the amusement park. Isn't your poverty alleviation target also 20 years old? Isn't it childish?"
"You were the one who recommended it last time, and now you say it's childish." Zhuang Baihua felt a little uneasy. I wonder if Chi Yue also thinks it's childish.
Luo Zhenduo laughed, his deep voice was as thick as wine, and the vibration of the bass spread through the phone, making Zhuang Baihua's ears numb.
He thought of Tang Feng's bubbling voice and couldn't help but touch his ears.
Luo Zhenduo said: "My son is also taking his final exams recently. After he finishes his exams, I want to take him out to play and reward him."
Luo Zhenduo also listened to the conversation between the two people last time. He reflected on himself when he returned. Although the child was physically disabled, he did take the child out to play too seldom, so he called and asked Zhuang Baihua in return.
Zhuang Baihua said: "We should indeed strengthen the interaction between father and son. I plan to take Chi Yue on a trip to G City and visit the amusement park."
"It turns out that your poverty alleviation target is called Chi Yue." Luo Zhenduo said casually, "Go to City G. I thought you were at the local amusement park. I was going to tell you that if you want to book the whole place, I'll give you a discount."
The Luo family invested in a large amusement park in the local area. Zhuang Baihua smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking. I'll go to another place and avoid you."
"You are such a fool. You are afraid that I will make money from you."
We were joking on the phone and the atmosphere was good.
Zhuang Baihua was thankful again that the original owner's friend was a normal person. If Luo Zhenduo was a paranoid gangster, Zhuang Baihua's head would probably explode.
Luo Zhenduo called to inquire and said that he always kept his son in mind. Although the Luo family was a single-parent family, the father was kind and the son was filial, and there was also a grandmother who loved the younger generation. They were a model of family harmony.
On the other hand, Chi Yue has both parents, but it is the same as having no parents.
Zhuang Baihua sighed: "There are all kinds of families in this world, some are harmonious and some are broken apart, which makes people sigh."
Luo Zhenduo was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Every family has its own problems. You will understand when you get married."
In the end, no one knew where Luo Zhenduo wanted to take his son, and Zhuang Baihua did not continue to ask. He just waited for Chi Yue to finish the exam.
In fact, no matter how Chi Yue performs in the exam, Zhuang Baihua will take him traveling. He said that before just to motivate Chi Yue.
As a result, within just a week, something unexpected happened.
Tang Feng, a professional troublemaker, ran back to the room.
According to the routine of general novels, a supporting character like Tang Feng who has completed his mission should be offline directly and will not appear again. But reality is not a novel. Tang Feng said that he would come back, and this time he really came back.
It's just that I responded too quickly.
When Zhuang Baihua received Tang Feng's call, he thought so and asked, "Did you win the Best Picture Award?"
Tang Feng: "... We haven't even started filming yet." His voice sounded a little nervous, "Originally, I didn't want to appear in front of you before I succeeded, but... but now my heart is in a mess, dazed and confused, and at this time I only think of you, you are like a lantern in the night fog, illuminating the way home for the night ship..."
"Stop." Stopping the pretentious language, Zhuang Baihua pinched his brows and said, "What happened? Just say it straight."
Tang Feng then said: "I just had some publicity matters to deal with and didn't want to disturb you, but today, I saw..."
He seemed a little excited, and his breathing came from the phone, very rapid.
Except for the time when he was kidnapped, Zhuang Baihua rarely saw Tang Feng so excited, so he asked, "What did you see?"
"I see my white moonlight."
"?" Zhuang Baihua continued to ask, "The boy who helped you five years ago? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"Yes." Tang Feng swallowed hard, "I was stunned when I saw him in the coffee shop. I was sure it was him. Over the years, I have dreamed of his face countless times... Of course, I haven't had such dreams since I fell in love with you."
Even at this time, Tang Feng still did not forget to express his loyalty.
Zhuang Baihua ignored his confession at any time and said, "So what do you want to do now? If you have let it go, just treat him as a passerby; if you haven't let it go, you can try to talk to him and thank him."
"But you are not allowed to force others," Zhuang Baihua warned.
Tang Feng was silent for a while, then said in a depressed tone: "I don't know, my heart is in turmoil. He is still here, not far from me, but I don't know what to do..."
Zhuang Baihua sighed: "So what do you want from me when you call me?"
"Can you please come over and take a look?" Tang Feng begged, "I don't know what to do. I want to say goodbye to the past and know that I should leave now, but my legs and feet are out of control and I can't move. Can you please take me away?"
It is not easy for Tang Feng to get out of his self-blame and fantasy. Who knew he would meet Bai Yueguang so soon? It would be terrible if his mental disorder had an attack and he ran up to Bai Yueguang to take a picture of him.
Zhuang Baihua tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said to Tang Feng, "Give me the address, you wait."
Unexpectedly, Tang Feng was in a coffee shop next to Chiyue University. Because the price in this coffee shop was relatively expensive, there were not many students there. But now was the end of the semester, and there were still children who brought their books and computers to study.
When Zhuang Baihua found Tang Feng, he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, sitting in a secluded corner, with his head lowered, his hands nervously holding the coffee cup on the table.
Zhuang Baihua sat down next to him. Tang Feng raised his head and said gratefully, "You are a good person. You are a good person."
Zhuang Baihua said: "The bodyguard is outside."
Seeing that Zhuang Baihua was still on guard against him, Tang Feng said "Oh" in disappointment.
Zhuang Baihua looked up and asked, "Which one is your white moonlight?"
There were not many people in the coffee shop, most of them were students quietly drinking coffee and studying. Tang Feng raised his finger and pointed at a boy sitting by the window with trembling hands.
Zhuang Baihua looked over there and was immediately stunned.
The boy in the memory grew into a young man. He sat quietly, stirring a cup of coffee with a spoon between his fingers.
The young man was thinner than Chi Yue, very handsome, with fair skin, elegant features, slightly drooping eyebrows, and a faint sadness on his face. He sat there like a white flower.
He picked up the coffee. His slender wrist was surprisingly pale, as if it would break if bent. The young man raised the cup to his pale lips and took a sip of coffee. His movements were gentle and very well-educated.
Zhuang Baihua's first impression was that it was quite consistent with the image of Bai Yueguang.
Quiet and graceful, she is like a lotus blooming quietly in a dream.
No wonder Tang Feng has been thinking about it all the time.
Zhuang Baihua gave Tang Feng a look and said that he didn't care about appearance but only focused on the inner qualities.
Tang Feng lowered his head guiltily.
Zhuang Baihua asked him: "What do you want now?"
Tang Feng was in a bad mood and whispered, "Take me away."
Zhuang Baihua thought for a while and said, "No, if you leave now, this person will become a knot in your heart. You will miss him all the time and never forget him."
Zhuang Baihua asked Tang Feng why he didn't go look for the young boy from that year. With Tang Feng's ability, it would be easy to investigate a person, but Tang Feng said he didn't dare.
The current situation is the same. If Tang Feng misses it today, he will never dare to face his inner demons, and might fall into the quagmire of paranoia again.
Zhuang Baihua said, "Wait, I'll bring him over."
Tang Feng panicked: "Don't..."
Zhuang Baihua ignored him, stood up and walked towards the young man at the window.
"You." Zhuang Baihua greeted the young man with a smile.
It was almost midsummer, and Zhuang Baihua was still wearing formal clothes. He was well-dressed and looked very dignified. He himself did not realize that he was also attracting attention.
The young man turned his head and met Zhuang Baihua's eyes. He was slightly stunned, then a faint smile appeared on his face and he responded: "You."
Tang Feng watched Zhuang Baihua communicating with the young man from a distance. One was his old love, and the other was his new love. His heart was knotted and his mood was very complicated.
After a while, Zhuang Baihua raised his finger and pointed in his direction. The young man looked at Tang Feng, nodded, and the three of them walked towards where Tang Feng was sitting.
Tang Feng felt dizzy watching them. Zhuang Baihua said to him, "At least show your face."
The young man looked at Tang Feng curiously. Tang Feng could only quickly pull down his mask, take off his sunglasses, show them to the young man, and then put the sunglasses back on.
The young man slightly widened his eyes and uttered a sigh-like sound: "It's really you." His eyes drooped and he smiled gently, "I didn't expect to meet a big star again."
She is indeed Tang Feng's white moonlight, there is no doubt about it.
Zhuang Baihua asked the man to sit down. Seeing that Tang Feng was still timid, he took the initiative to ask the young man, "What's your name?"
The young man smiled and said, "You can call me Xiyin, Xi for stream and Yin for sound."
It didn't sound real, Zhuang Baihua thought the other person was on guard, so he didn't ask any more questions and introduced himself: "My last name is Zhuang, and I'm a friend of this actor Tang."
Xiyin first looked at Zhuang Baihua's face, then smiled and said to Tang Feng: "I know, big star Tang Feng, we have met before."
Tang Feng nodded silently, indicating that he still remembered.
Xiyin sat upright, thin but straight, his hands resting naturally on his legs, his posture elegant. He took the initiative to recall what happened five years ago: "I have been in poor health since I was a child." As he spoke, his slender fingers pressed on his chest. "My father took me to the countryside for recuperation in order to let me breathe fresh air and improve my condition."
No wonder Xiyin looked a little weak.
"The people in the countryside are simple and honest, and I am very happy living here. My father also encourages me to walk around more. One day, I was taking a walk and saw a person lying on the side of the road, so I went to see what was going on."
Xiyin's eyes curved as she thought of the past, a nostalgic look on her face: "Now that I think about it, it was all fate. Later, I often went to see your movies, and you became more and more popular. I regretted that I should have asked you for a signature at that time."
Tang Feng listened to him in a daze, not daring to imagine that the former white moonlight was right in front of him. Zhuang Baihua reached out and patted his shoulder. Only then did he react and said hoarsely: "I always remember you, thank you for helping me then."
Xiyin didn't notice anything unusual about Tang Feng, and just smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. I'm not in good health. I've read a lot of medical books and know how to bandage wounds." He looked at Tang Feng with warm eyes and asked carefully, "There shouldn't be any scars left, right?"
Tang Feng shook his head: "The injury has healed soon."
Xiyin said sincerely: "It's too good."
The two of them were chatting casually, and Zhuang Baihua breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Feng behaved very normally, and it seemed that he had overcome the hurdle in his heart.
Xiyin was also very calm and didn't make a fuss about Tang Feng's identity at all. She maintained a friendly and polite attitude.
But if Zhuang Baihua was not mistaken, Xiyin still had a slight aloofness. It was not because she rejected him, but because he had his own inherent pampering and self-restraint, and was probably not used to being too close to others.
As for whether to keep in touch with Xiyin, that was Tang Feng's business. Zhuang Baihua wanted to leave space and time for others. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw Xiyin turn her head and glance at his original table, her eyes lighting up.
The sound of the stream at that moment was like morning dew meeting the sun, or seedlings meeting rain. The whole person came alive, and his pretty face shone brightly, sweeping away the previous sickness, becoming positive yet increasingly gentle.
"Xiaoyue!" he shouted at the table in front of him.
The young man he called turned his head, revealing his pair of dark and deep eyes, and looked straight at Zhuang Baihua's table.
Zhuang Baihua was a little confused.
Chi Yue walked towards them with a dozen books in her hands, and stood in front of the three people's table. She looked at Xiyin, then at Tang Feng, and finally at Zhuang Baihua. Her face was not very happy, and she asked: "Why are you here?"
Zhuang Baihua also wanted to ask this question. Xiyin didn't care about the current situation and answered for Zhuang Baihua with a smile: "I met a friend I haven't seen for a long time." He blinked and said mysteriously, "It's a big star."
Then he turned to Tang Feng and Zhuang Baihua and introduced Chi Yue: "This is my classmate. I have been absent from many classes due to poor health. I will take the final exam soon, so I asked him to help me with my homework."
Zhuang Baihua looked at Chi Yue, who seemed to be in a bad mood. She gave Tang Feng a fierce look, and it seemed that she had guessed that it was Tang Feng who called her "Xiao".
Seeing this, Xiyin asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter any trouble on the road?"
Zhuang Baihua looked at Xiyin's deep affection for Chi Yue, and even her eyes were burning with passion, which was completely different from her aloofness just now. Suddenly he understood.
A line of words popped up in his mind.
"He is quiet and refined, like a willow in the gentle breeze, pampered and thoughtful."
Chi Yue is a classmate who is not in good health.
Zhuang Baihua didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's just outrageous, what the hell, this bloody world.
