Xu Zhinan did miss Lin Qingye after not seeing him for two days, and she also liked physical contact with him, but that didn't mean she could calmly accept his shameless "invitation" in that aspect.
And from what he said, he thought it would be better for her to take the initiative.
Xu Zhinan woke up, but her face was burning with heat that spread widely.
She stepped back and stopped kissing him. Lin Qingye stared at her with dark eyes, then lowered his head, held her cheek and rubbed it gently.
Xu Zhinan inexplicably thought of a large dog that was clingy and spoiled, flattering and clingy.
She raised her head, neither taking the initiative nor refusing.
Lin Qingye pressed his lips against hers and said in a hoarse voice, "Baby."
"Hmm?" Her breathing became a little disordered.
"I think you're going crazy."
Xu Zhinan saw the earth-shattering waves in his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Do you think I still want that?"
He chuckled, "All."
…
Suddenly, a rainstorm came down outside the house, and the raindrops hit the glass diagonally with crackling sounds.
The winter rain brought with it a chill, as if we had entered deep winter from early winter overnight, and the weather suddenly turned cold.
The heating was on in the house, so it didn't feel cold at all.
Because he had failed to control himself once before and caused Xu Zhinan to catch a cold and have a fever, he had been more restrained in this regard since then. The two of them huddled together on the sofa, with a wrinkled blanket draped over them.
The suppressed voice mixed with the sound of rain was indescribably sentimental.
Because of the rain, when I woke up the next day, it was still dark and it seemed like it was still midnight.
Xu Zhinan felt that Lin Qingye was too difficult to deal with now. She didn't know if it was because he was older, but he was much more troublesome than when he was in college.
Then she thought again, it might be because she had not lived with him much in college.
She felt lazy all over and didn't want to move in bed. As soon as she turned around, Lin Qingye woke up. He held her hand and asked drowsily, "Are you awake?"
"Um."
"Are you hungry?" He moved his hand to her stomach.
"fine."
"Then I'll make breakfast later."
After sleeping for a while, Lin Qingye got up first.
He was only wearing a pair of trousers, which were narrow at the waist and had no drawstring, so they were loose and his hips were vaguely visible.
He stood up with his back to Xu Zhinan, revealing the tattoo on his back completely. On the upper right corner of the shoulder blade were two words - A Nan.
It always feels like this was a long time ago.
"It's still early, you should sleep a little longer." Lin Qingye rubbed her hair and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Xu Zhinan stretched out her head and her sleepiness gradually faded away. She sat up and let the quilt slide off her shoulders. She was wearing a shirt-style pajamas.
When I sat up, I realized that several buttons were unbuttoned. To be exact, only the middle two buttons were buttoned. A large part of the collar was open, revealing the red spots inside.
She was so tired last night that she fell asleep with her eyes closed. She couldn't remember whether Lin Qingye had buttoned her shirt casually or it had been rubbed open while she was sleeping at night.
She thought of the annoying memories of last night, pursed her lips, cursed "pervert" under her breath, and quickly buttoned her clothes again.
Just after he finished dialing the number, Lin Qingye's cell phone, which was placed on the bedside, rang.
Xu Zhinan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Uncle Wang calling. Soon Lin Qingye came out.
He walked to the window and answered the phone.
I came to see him early this morning because of the scandal about Ji Xia.
Ji Xia is also an artist and a young actor under Chuanqi Entertainment.
Some brokerage companies will bundle CPs to circle a wave of CP fans, but they are generally aimed at small-time stars who are not very popular. The top stars are probably most afraid of CP bundling. Even if it is marketing, it is just hype when the drama is broadcast. After it ends, they will only find ways to unlock the CP so as not to affect their future steps.
Ji Xia just needs this kind of popularity, and the company will never let her get involved with Lin Qingye.
Not to mention that Lin Qingye and Wang Qi are familiar with each other, which makes them different from ordinary stars in the company.
Ji Xia came to see him the night before yesterday, the first night after he got off the plane. Lin Qingye felt strange at the time because he had never met Ji Xia before.
If she hadn't introduced herself, Lin Qingye wouldn't even know her name.
When Ji Xia knocked on his hotel room door, it wasn't because she had something important to talk to him about. All she said was a few words, which made it sound like she was introducing herself.
It was just that at that time, she was wearing a low-necked tight sweater under her summer coat, with two buttons on the collar open, revealing a white line inside.
The meaning was obvious. Even though she didn't say it explicitly, it was impossible for Lin Qingye not to guess it.
If he had allowed her into the house at that time, everything would have been a natural progression.
There are indeed some unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. If a little star is sent to the door dressed like this, it means tacit consent.
But generally the target is the film company's capital or production company, in exchange for resources, but she came to Lin Qingye, Lin Qingye had no resources to give her, but he could bring her enough popularity.
When I thought about it this way, I knew that the secret photo shoot must have been arranged by her herself.
With Lin Guancheng speaking and keeping the order, regular newspapers generally wouldn't delve into Lin Qingye's gossip or scandals, and no one knew where Ji Xia got the paparazzi from.
Wang Qi told him the investigation process, which was the same as Lin Qingye's guess.
Wang Qi: "I also got the video outside the hotel corridor. I sent it to your email. Please handle it as you see fit."
Lin Qingye leaned against the window and watched Xu Zhinan slowly get up, her pretty toes slightly curled up off the ground, looking around for slippers.
"The slippers are on my side." Lin Qingye reminded.
Xu Zhinan glanced at him and saw that he was still on the phone. Without saying a word, she put on her slippers and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Wang Qi heard it and asked, "Are you still at home?"
"Yeah." Lin Qingye responded, pinched his nose, and said, "Uncle Wang, are you sure you want me to handle this?"
His voice sounded a little lazy, yet also full of joking.
Wang Qi knew he was going to cause trouble as soon as he heard it: "You decide. Even if you don't call me uncle, I know who is more valuable between you and Ji Xia. Your innocence is very important."
Lin Qingye laughed casually.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Wang Qi said, "The next Golden Melody Awards is about to start. The company has already submitted your album. There will be an awards ceremony in a while, so you should keep an eye out for it."
Lin Qingye paused.
The new Golden Melody Awards.
He frowned slightly and lowered his head: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, he went out to make breakfast.
By noon, a video once again caused a sensation.
It was the video that Wang Qi sent to Lin Qingye in the morning. In the hotel corridor, Ji Xia and Lin Qingye were standing face to face in front of the door. Because the surveillance camera was just above the side and the distance was close, the sound reception was good.
Lin Qingye was too lazy to get involved in such matters. If Ji Xia was just doing it for the attention, it would be fine, but since he had colluded with the paparazzi, Lin Qingye didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
Cause all these troubles to make Xu Zhinan upset.
Ji Xia did not say anything explicit in the video, but the fact that he knocked on someone else's door in the middle of the night and said something random was obvious enough.
I vomited, so it’s already obvious, the previous scandal photo was taken by someone hired by Ji Xia, and it was released specifically at the beginning of the music festival!
In fact, I had guessed it before, but I didn’t dare to say it because I was afraid of bringing bad luck to my brother.
Moreover! The front view when Ji Xia turned around really impressed me. Why didn't you just take off all your clothes? Your breasts were almost falling to the ground.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Although I'm very angry, this video is so funny. Lin Qingye is really a steel straight man. He has a cold face throughout the whole process and doesn't give any face at all.
But forget it, have you forgotten his nickname of Picarin? He was the most charming guy, but he just looked disdainful towards Ji Xia. If you watch the video of him saying he had a girl he liked at the music festival, your heart will be moved! No!
Fuck | I really want to be the girl that Lin Qingye likes. What kind of love story is this between an amateur and a big star?
The person above is wrong. It's not yet an ordinary person x big star. It's more like a big star chasing an ordinary person, and it's not even known whether he can win her over.
…
Xu Zhinan saw this video after lunch and watched it carefully: "Where did this video come from?"
"Uncle Wang got it through investigation."
"The company released it?"
Lin Qingye remained calm: "Probably."
In the evening, Ji Xia posted a special Weibo to apologize. Lin Qingye's Weibo was always overgrown with insignificant content, so naturally no one paid attention to it, and it was filled with curses.
In addition, everyone in the circle can roughly guess who released this video. It was either Lin Qingye himself or Chuanqi Entertainment. This also gave everyone a signal that if someone wanted to take a shortcut to reap the benefits of a unilateral scandal, the final consequence would probably be like Ji Xia.
This matter lasted for a few days, during which time Lin Qingye was interviewed.
He rarely accepted such interviews before, but he accepted this time.
The person being interviewed was a young lady who looked to be in her 20s.
"Everyone is very curious about your response at the last music festival. I want to ask you if it was true that you had a girl you liked?"
Lin Qingye: “Yes, it’s true.”
"So she is an insider?"
"no."
"Is everyone guessing this girl is the same one in your song 'Acacia'?"
Lin Qingye seemed to have thought of something, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Well, it's still her."
As soon as this video came out, it bombarded the Internet again.
No one paid attention to the content of the subsequent interview, and the focus was completely on this part, especially the expression on Lin Qingye's face when he said "it's still her".
Ah Wei is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck fuck fuck, this expression should be paired with Ji Xia’s part, can the contrast be even greater!!!
Ahhhh, this is too doting!
Damn, this smile really hits my heart. I laughed so hard that my mouth reached my temples.
I suddenly became a fan of Lin Qingye, what kind of cute sweetheart is this who has a crush on a pretty girl! !
I was heartbroken, and my aunt was smiling...
What’s even more outrageous is that an activity called “Your doting smile and Lin Qingye’s doting smile” was launched online.
Many people posted videos imitating his lowered eyes and chuckle, and at the end they added "Yeah, it's still her". In the end, it was concluded that this was a difficult move and it was easy to make it look greasy if you were not careful.
After that cold rain, two more rains followed, and the temperature quickly dropped to around zero degrees. The leaves fell, and the road was covered with bare branches.
Lin Qingye’s remaining two concerts have also ended, and the promotion of "Nan Nan" has officially ended.
The fans were still not satisfied and started clamoring for a formal concert.
There are very few people in the entertainment industry who hold concerts after releasing only one album. It is almost something that can be achieved with one hand.
But considering the company's interests, Lin Qingye is definitely qualified to hold a concert.
Wang Qi also mentioned this matter to Lin Qingye.
So the concert also entered the approval process.
As for Xu Zhinan, more people get tattoos in winter than in summer, because recovery is more troublesome in summer and they worry about a series of problems such as inflammation or infection. Therefore, many people avoid getting large tattoos in the summer.
As New Year’s Day approaches, business gets even better.
Xu Zhinan was busy from morning to night and finally had time to have dinner. While eating, she took out her mobile phone to pick out clothes.
She has been too busy to go shopping recently, and it is impossible for Lin Qingye to go shopping now. He doesn't buy clothes online much. It's almost New Year's Day, and neither of them has bought new clothes for the winter.
Xu Zhinan looked at the items one by one. All of her recommendations were women's clothing, which was her usual dressing style.
She thought about it and typed in a few keywords for men's clothing. She didn't know if she used the wrong keywords or what, but the clothes that popped up were all rather tacky.
After browsing for a long time, Xu Zhinan's eyes lit up when he saw a store that specialized in selling couple outfits.
This immediately solved her need to buy clothes for two people.
The owner of this couple clothing store is a fashion designer herself. Her design style tends to be traditional Chinese, with simple and youthful styles. The model photos in the store were all taken with her boyfriend. They are handsome men and beautiful women, tall and thin, and every photo looks good.
Xu Zhinan picked around and finally settled on a set of clothes with a college style.
Inside is a college-style knitted sweater, but it's lotus pink in color, and outside is a loose cotton jacket in black, which looks quite handsome.
The jacket was similar in style to what Lin Qingye usually wore, but the color inside was... lotus pink.
His wardrobe is filled with the most common black, white and grey, and he has very few sweaters.
Xu Zhinan clicked on the comment and took a look. The color difference was not big, and the whole person would look very soft when wearing it. She liked this kind of clothes, but she didn’t know if Lin Qingye would like it.
After all, it’s winter clothes, so it depends on what Lin Qingye likes.
Xu Zhinan ate while watching, and finally finished the late dinner. She simply cleaned up the table and sent the screenshot of the dress to Lin Qingye.
[Xu Zhinan: What do you think of this dress?]
[Qiono-san: Which one?]
[Xu Zhinan: Two pieces, these are couple outfits.]
He sent a voice message.
Xu Zhinan lowered the volume and put it to his ear—
"Want to wear couple outfits with me?"
A voice that is smiling, teasing and playful.
She couldn't help but laugh too.
[Xu Zhinan: Yes.]
[Qiono-san: Okay, it looks pretty good.]
[Xu Zhinan: But this is lotus root pink, I’m afraid you don’t like this color.]
[Qingye: Now that I’m a married man, I need to change to a more homely style.]
Xu Zhinan curled his eyes and laughed softly.
[Xu Zhinan: Then I bought it?]
[Kiyano-san: Yeah.]
[Xu Zhinan: I saw that it will be shipped within 24 hours, so it should arrive in the next two days, but I will wait until New Year's Day to give it to you. Consider it my New Year's Day gift to you.]
[Qiono-san: You let me know about the New Year's Day gift now, isn't it a surprise?]
[Xu Zhinan: I’m afraid that if I buy it myself you won’t like it and it would be a waste of money.]
Lin Qingye is in the company, preparing to make a new song to be sung for the first time at the concert. He discussed the details with the producer and has just finished.
He leaned back in his chair, laughed, and continued typing: Are you almost done? I'll come and pick you up.
[Anan: There are still ten minutes left.]
Lin Qingye put away his phone, said goodbye to the producer and Wang Qi, and went downstairs.
When they arrived at the tattoo shop, the shop was already closed and the lights were off. Xu Zhinan was standing outside waiting, dressed warmly, with a thick scarf wrapped around his chin, making him look like a little bear.
Seeing his car, Xu Zhinan trotted over.
Lin Qingye turned his head to look at her: "Why don't you wait inside the store on such a cold day?"
"The heater in the store has been on for a long time, and it's a bit stuffy, so I wanted to go outside to get some fresh air."
Lin Qingye grabbed her hand: "My hands are cold."
"My hands get cold easily." Xu Zhinan was holding his hand, and when she looked over, she noticed that he was wearing a pair of jeans. They were obviously very thin, and the fabric had two openings at the knees. Although they were not big, the wind could still get in.
She frowned: "Why are you wearing these pants in such a cold day?"
"There's an event at noon, and the makeup artist asked me to wear this."
"Then you should change into a thicker pair of pants when you go out." Xu Zhinan touched his exposed knees. "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of getting joint disease?"
"Stop charging me for old age diseases," he warned lazily.
Xu Zhinan said seriously, "This is not an old age disease. Nowadays, many young people like you have this problem. I told you to wear long johns but you didn't listen. You wore so little today! If you keep going like this, you will be very uncomfortable when you are old!"
She talked a lot, like an old Chinese doctor.
Lin Qingye found what he heard interesting, but he actually didn't hear much of it. It was almost the same as when he was in school, where everything went in one ear and out the other.
After she finished speaking, he said in a leisurely and carefree manner: "It's okay if it's uncomfortable, as long as it doesn't affect fucking you."
Xu Zhinan was about to say something, but his shameless words suddenly blocked her throat. As a result, she started coughing violently, and her face turned red. She didn't know whether it was because of shyness or choking.
Lin Qingye laughed even more happily, his shoulders shaking, and patted her on the back to calm her down: "I just said something to you, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Xu Zhinan's eyes turned red and watery from coughing. She glared at him angrily: "I'm telling you clearly why you are so frivolous!"
"Why are you not serious? I'm telling you the truth." Lin Qingye raised his eyebrows, and said in a completely romantic manner, "What other use is this leg for? It's just for..."
Before he could utter those two words, Xu Zhinan called out, "Lin Qingye!"
He continued laughing, as if he had accomplished a prank: "Oh, you dare to call me by my full name when you are angry."
Xu Zhinan muttered: "What am I afraid of?"
"There are so many things you dare not do. What can you do if you are so thin-skinned?" Lin Qingye pinched her face. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go home?"
"Um."
Xu Zhinan had no way to get Lin Qingye to wear long johns. Even if she told him, he still didn't want to wear them, so she didn't insist. Unexpectedly, Xu's mother finally made it happen.
On the eve of New Year's Day, December 30, the two went back to Xu's mother's house together to celebrate the new year.
The streets are bustling with activity, creating a New Year's Eve atmosphere.
Xu Zhinan gave Lin Qingye the clothes that had arrived a few days ago one day in advance as a New Year's Day gift.
It was the first time that Lin Qingye wore clothes of this color, but it didn’t look ugly to him. He had fair skin and could actually carry off any color.
This lotus pink color made him look much softer, not as cold and hard as usual, but more youthful and... charming.
Drive home.
When Xu's mother saw the two of them, she noticed the matching clothes, looked at them for a while with a smile, and praised, "They look really good."
The last time he came here, he was in a hurry and didn't buy any decent gifts, only some fruits. This time, Lin Qingye prepared in advance and came in carrying large and small bags.
"Didn't I tell you not to buy anything? I don't need anything." Mother Xu said to Lin Qingye with a smile, "Why did you buy so much?"
Lin Qingye smiled and said, "Isn't this a New Year's Day gift?"
They arrived just in time for lunch. Xu's mother had already prepared the meal and brought it out from the kitchen. The three of them sat down.
She was quite reserved when they met last time, but this time she was much better. At the dinner table, Xu's mother kept putting food into Lin Qingye's bowl.
He is usually quite picky about food and there are some things he doesn't like to eat. Xu Zhinan knows all about it now that she has been with him for a long time. When she saw the dish his mother picked for him and was about to say something, she saw him eat it all without changing his expression.
Xu's mother asked, "Will your father be too lonely when you come to my place for New Year's Eve?"
Lin Qingye: "He is not in Yancheng these days. He is busy with work."
"Oh, on a business trip?"
"Well, I'll go back in a few days and wait for him to come back."
"That's perfect. I was thinking of bringing An Nan to your house for dinner so she can keep your dad company. So why don't you just have dinner here? I bought too many dishes and can't finish them all." Xu's mother said, "Why don't you sleep here tonight? Don't go back. I just dried the quilt yesterday."
Xu's mother invited him warmly, and Lin Qingye looked at Xu Zhinan and agreed.
After dinner, Xu's mother got up early and went to take a nap.
The remaining dishes were left to Lin Qingye and Xu Zhinan to deal with, and the two went into the kitchen together.
In the kitchen, Lin Qingye was washing dishes while Xu Zhinan was standing beside them draining the water.
"I could have taken you to a place near my home. Although it's not as lively as the city center, the scenery is beautiful and there are sometimes festivals and activities. It's quite fun."
Lin Qingye curled his lips: "Soon, I can go out with you in the future."
After washing the dishes, they couldn't go out, so they watched TV together in the living room downstairs.
Lin Guancheng called in the middle of the meeting and found out that Xu Zhinan was right next to him, so he talked to Xu Zhinan for a while.
Lin Guancheng really likes Xu Zhinan, and he likes her even more after seeing the changes in Lin Qingye after being with her. It also makes up for some of his previous regrets.
Xu Zhinan's phone was very busy this afternoon. Several friends and customers who he usually kept in touch with sent him messages to wish him a happy holiday. Xu Zhinan replied to them one by one, but then he realized that he hadn't chatted with Zhao Qian yet, so he opened the WeChat chat box with her.
Zhao Qian replied quickly.
[Xixi: I can’t wish you a happy New Year’s Day. I’m in the hospital now.]
[Xu Zhinan: Why did you go to the hospital?]
[Xixi: I don’t know. I fainted suddenly this morning.]
[Xu Zhinan: Ah, it’s so serious, what did the doctor say?]
[Xixi: We are still waiting in line. Why are there so many people here today? It shouldn’t be a big deal. I just fainted for five minutes and woke up later.]
Zhao Qian didn't reply to her. Half an hour later, Xu Zhinan's phone vibrated violently again.
[Sissi: Aaaaaaaah! Holy shit!]
[Sissi: I’m fucking pregnant!!!]
[Xixi: I thought about it that way for a moment, but don’t pregnant women vomit? I fainted. I didn’t think about it that way later, but it actually happened!!]
[Xixi: Nan, you have agreed that you are the godmother of the baby in my belly.]
[Xixi: In this case, Lin Qingye is his godfather.]
[Xixi: As expected of me, I have already found a famous celebrity godfather for him before he was born.]
Lin Qingye noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Xixi..." Xu Zhinan was also surprised and opened her mouth, "You're pregnant."
Lin Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Good news."
Xu Zhinan lowered her head and continued to reply to messages when suddenly a pair of hands came over her stomach.
Lin Qingye pinched her belly like kneading dough.
"… "
She pulled Lin Qingye's hand away, not knowing what was on this man's mind, so she stayed away from him for the sake of "protecting herself".
He chuckled but didn't say much.
After dinner in the evening, Xu's mother chatted with them for a while and then left them alone.
"Qingye, I've made the bed for you. It's next to An'nan's room."
Xu's mother didn't know what happened to the two of them, and she didn't ask too much. Besides, it was their first time living at home, and as a mother, she couldn't just put them in the same room, so she separated them into two rooms.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhinan tilted his head and glanced at Lin Qingye.
He remained calm, like a true gentleman, and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"Oh, I almost forgot about this." Mother Xu said, turning to the drawer beside her, opening it, and taking out two red envelopes for them. "I should have given them during the Lunar New Year, but Qingye is busy with work, and I don't know if he will be free then, so I'll give them now, since it's New Year's Eve anyway."
"Mom, we all have jobs, we should give you red envelopes, why are you giving it back to us?" Xu Zhinan said hurriedly.
Lin Qingye also echoed: "Auntie, we can't take this."
"It's not much money, I just want to give you a good omen. It's the New Year, I hope both of you will be prosperous, take it quickly."
Xu Zhinan then accepted it, and Lin Qingye had no choice but to accept it as well: "Thank you, Auntie."
"There's one more thing." Mother Xu took out two bags from the corner. "New Year's gifts. I thought you guys shouldn't need anything now, and you can afford to buy something if you need it. I also thought you guys don't wear much in winter, so I bought you a set of warm underwear."
Xu Zhinan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Great, this is what he needs right now!"
Lin Qingye: “…”
Xu's mother returned to her room. It was still early, and people had to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Lin Qingye was not so quick to go to the next room to sleep, and they went into Xu Zhinan's room together.
Her bed was small, and the two of them squeezed together, almost taking up the entire bed.
Xu Zhinan opened the gift bag her mother had given her, and it turned out to be two matching sets of clothes, which could be considered couple outfits from head to toe.
She raised her leg and gently kicked Lin Qingye's waist: "Are you going to wear long johns?"
"No." He still refused bluntly and with great dignity.
"Why?"
"I'm not cold."
"But this is a New Year's gift from my mother."
"New Year's gifts should be kept well." Lin Qingye said casually, "How can I bear to wear them?"
Xu Zhinan glanced at him and looked closer at him: "Really not wearing it?"
"Um."
The little girl propped herself up on the bed with both hands, leaning towards him. A sly look suddenly flashed in her clear eyes, and then she stretched her neck and suddenly shouted outside, "Mom!"
As soon as he uttered the first sound, Lin Qingye covered his mouth and pressed it back.
Her body was pushed into the bed, bounced a little, and her long hair spread out.
Lin Qingye straddled her, looked down at her, and tickled her: "You still want to complain?"
Xu Zhinan was ticklish, and he sat on her lap, so she couldn't struggle free. She hid while laughing, and her tears came out from laughing. She barely lasted three seconds before begging for mercy, "I won't sue you anymore, Brother Qingye."
Lin Qingye slapped her on the buttocks, "It's too late."
The two laughed and joked for a while, and later Lin Qingye leaned over and hugged her.
Xu Zhinan's hair was a mess, and he rubbed it back and forth on the bedding, generating static electricity. He was like a little lunatic, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe and his face turned red.
Lin Qingye finally stopped teasing her. People started setting off firecrackers outside. He pressed on Xu Zhinan and gradually calmed down. He tilted his head and kissed her on the face.
"Thank you." he said suddenly.
"Hmm? Thank you for what?"
"Everything." He kissed her more deeply and smiled against her lips. "This is my first time receiving a red envelope. It feels good."
