Cao Ye settled down for several days.

Cao Xiuyuan's remarks still played a role in him. He was young and vigorous, and no one wanted to be looked down upon by others, not to mention that that person was his own prestigious father.

Another reason why he can stay at Lanyan is that compared to Lin Yan, who shows his love all the time, staying with Liang Sizhe is really relaxing.

At the same time, Cao Ye's likable talent was brought into full play in Lanyan, and within two days, he recognized no less than ten sisters. On the next flight of stairs, Sister Hong, Sister Lan, Sister Qing… greeted each other in a row, and they could almost gather seven colors to summon the dragon.

Liang Sizhe was used to watching movies in his room in the afternoon. When he came across a movie he had not seen, Cao Ye would watch it together. When he encountered a movie he had seen, he had to endure the spoiler and ran downstairs after a few minutes.

The karaoke hall on the second floor always opens at 7 p.m. in summer. The period before the opening is always the quietest time for Lanyan. The accompanying singers who live on the third floor use this time to dress up, clean up the room, and go downstairs. Say hello to each other when taking out the trash, and no one has the desire to chat with each other.

But when Cao Ye came, the time before the opening suddenly became lively. Cao Ye doesn't like to stay in the house. He thinks that the light is too poor. He always moves a wooden stool and sits at the door. The women who come back from taking out the garbage like to come up and chat with him:

"Director Cao Xiuyuan is really your father?"

"Let Director Cao arrange a few roles for us?"

"Did your dad let you come and experience life?"

Cao Ye never looked at other people's faces, and when he encountered a difficult problem, he acted foolishly and fooled him. Most of the time, he was smiling. Anyone would like to talk to such a person. He doesn't see any hardships in life. He is so full of youthful energy that he is about to burst out. He almost makes a sizzling sound when the sun shines outside. .

One is Cao Xiuyuan's son, and the other is a newcomer picked by Cao Xiuyuan. The gossip spreads vigorously, and the people in the store are well aware of this, so it is inevitable to compare the two behind their backs.

They said that Liang Sizhe is really good-looking, and it is true that he has a unique temperament, but he is not as easy to get along with as Young Master Cao. His whole body seems to be sealed with a thick barrier, and he is separated from contact, conversation, and jokes. That layer of enchantment. "I'm not familiar with the place." The lady boss lowered her voice and made a concluding remark.

It was almost evening, Cao Ye was sitting at the door chatting with a few girls. There were more guests at the door, and the noise gradually increased. He was about to put the stool back into the house and go upstairs, when a very familiar off-road vehicle drove up. He came over, stopped in front of him, opened the door, and Zheng Yin got out of the car.

"Uncle Yin?" Cao Ye straightened up, "Why are you here?"

Zheng Yin closed the car door and walked up the steps: "Let's see if you stay here obediently."

When a few girls saw Zheng Yin, they were afraid of getting into trouble for themselves, so they immediately turned around and entered the house.

Zheng Yin glanced at the backs in the room, and patted Cao Ye's back: "Don't do business."

"No, I just came out for a while... Uncle Yin, come as soon as you want, without calling in advance?"

Zheng Yin gave him a sideways look: "Tell you how to pretend to read the script seriously?"

Cao Ye laughed dryly: "You attacked suddenly, making it look like you're here to catch a traitor..."

"Isn't it just here to catch rape?" Zheng Yin said sternly, "Don't let me see you chatting with them in the future, do you know?"

"My dad let me experience life well, and you won't let me or that," Cao Ye retorted confidently, "Then I stay in the house every day watching the script, what else can I experience..."

What he said was quite reasonable, but Zheng Yin reluctantly made a compromise: "Okay, you can chat, but you are not allowed to chat in a serious way. What about Brother Si Zhe?"

Cao Ye pointed upstairs: "I'm watching a movie in the house."

Zheng Yin glanced at him: "Look at others." After speaking, he pushed his back and walked forward, asking him to follow him upstairs.

"I've seen that movie!" Cao Ye said unconvinced.

Pushing the door and entering, Liang Sizhe was sitting on the bed with his back leaning against the bed board, one leg straight and the other bent. Hearing the door slam, his eyes moved from the TV screen to the two who came in.

"Yin... Brother." Seeing Zheng Yin coming over, he bowed and sat up straight.

"Well," Zheng Yin walked in and glanced at the TV. "The Godfather" was playing on the screen, "How about watching a movie?"

Liang Sizhe pressed pause on the remote control: "Well."

Cao Ye came in behind Zheng Yin and interjected, "How can you call me 'brother' Liang Sizhe? It's clear that you are taking advantage of me, right?" Liang Sizhe called him by his first name.

Liang Sizhe smiled and explained, "It's a bit strange to be called 'Uncle'." Zheng Yin really didn't look like his uncle. He couldn't call it "Uncle Yin" as smoothly as Cao Ye did.

"Then call me as well. If you call him brother, don't you also become a generation with them? Do I want to call you Uncle Sizhe?"

"That's not impossible," Liang Sizhe laughed, "I don't mind."

"I mind!" Cao Ye turned to sit on Liang Sizhe's bed, looked up at Zheng Yin, "Uncle Yin, take care of him."

"You and I can't control it," Zheng Yin said with a smile, but he followed him and looked at Liang Sizhe, "Since Xiao Ye called me Uncle Yin, you should follow him."

"Okay..." Liang Sizhe's name doesn't really matter, he changed his mind, "Uncle Yin."

"Well," Zheng Yin responded, looked down at the two teenagers sitting on the bed, and began to talk about business, "I'm here to inform you that there will be a round of auditions the day after tomorrow, when Teacher Cao, the screenwriter, the assistant director, and the casting director ... In short, the main team of the crew will be on the scene, you prepare in advance, I will pick you up around 3 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"How to prepare?" Cao Ye looked at him and asked.

"You don't need to prepare specially, just clean it up. This time it's just an audition, not an audition, so don't be nervous."

"Just turn the pestle twice in front of the camera, right?"

"Yes, that's about it." Zheng Yin nodded.

"Uncle Yin," Cao Ye stretched his arm and put it on Liang Sizhe's shoulder, asking Zheng Yin for news, "Are we going to play the same movie?"

"This... It's hard to say."

Cao Ye "cut": "I'm still selling off."

"It's really not a sellout," Zheng Yin said with a smile. "The first round of auditions has not even been conducted, let alone the auditions that follow. Everything is unknown, and I can't predict."

Cao Ye was speechless: "Okay."

After Zheng Yin finished his business, he looked at Liang Sizhe and said, "Sizhe, come out with me."

"What's the matter, you have to avoid me?" Cao Ye hooked Liang Sizhe's neck with his arm, and didn't let go, "Don't go with him."

"You can't avoid you when you speak ill of you?" Zheng Yin smiled, "let go quickly and let Si Zhe come with me, there is something important."

Liang Sizhe raised his hand and held Cao Ye's wrist, trying to take his arm away from him, but Cao Ye tightened his arm, but he refused to take it away. He was quite energetic, and Liang Sizhe was not good in front of Zheng Yin. Breaking him hard, he turned his face and said to him, "Don't worry, I will never accuse you of being black."

"I have nothing to complain about!" Cao Ye said, but his arms relaxed.

Liang Sizhe moved to the bed, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and followed Zheng Yin out.

"Liang Sizhe, remember we are a united front!" One second before the door closed, Cao Ye shouted at Liang Sizhe.

"How are you getting along with Cao Ye?" Zheng Yin asked Liang Sizhe as he walked. When talking to Liang Sizhe, he obviously changed his attitude. It was the kind of unfamiliar attitude towards his peers, which was completely different from the attitude of treating Cao Ye as a child.

"It's okay." Liang Sizhe said.

"He's not annoying, I'm very relieved about that."

Liang Sizhe made a sound of "um".

"Si Zhe, I don't have anything else to do with you, I still want to ask you to help me watch Xiao Ye, his heart is completely a child, I'm really worried about being in this environment, you just Help me get some more snacks, will you?"

He said this sincerely. For a while, Liang Sizhe felt that Zheng Yin was more like a father than Cao Xiuyuan. He was silent for a moment and said, "I can help, but he may not be willing to listen to me."

"I think you get along very well. Although Cao Ye can get along with everyone, there is still a difference between closeness and distance. He is very close to you, I can see that. You don't have to worry about it. Just help me see that he doesn't mess around with girls, okay?"

"I try my best." Liang Sizhe said.

"Thank you so much, by the way, also, what Director Cao means is that you will eat on this street later, and feel the surrounding environment and atmosphere by the way. As for the money, I don't dare to give Cao Ye too much, I'm afraid He doesn't want to stay here if he has money, I'll give you the money," Zheng Yin went down the stairs, walked to the side of the car, opened the co-pilot's door, took out an envelope from the storage box, and handed it to Liang Sizhe, "Just treat it as your food bill for this month, give it, take it."

The envelope was very thick, and Liang Sizhe knew at a glance that what Zheng Yin gave him was definitely not just the food expenses... maybe the labor expenses for taking care of Cao Ye for him.

Liang Sizhe didn't answer: "I'll pay first, calculate the amount at the end of the month, and you'll just settle it for me."

"Take it," Zheng Yin shoved the envelope into his hand, "it's not easy for you to come to Beijing alone."

"It's really not necessary," Liang Sizhe took a step back and looked at Zheng Yin, "Is it still a help if you receive the money?" But in the end, he didn't make it clear - wouldn't that be a nanny

Zheng Yin heard his voice, and didn't insist any longer. He smiled and said, "Okay, even if I owe you a favor."

Liang Sizhe nodded and said, "Okay."

After two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, Zheng Yin drove the car to Lanyan. When they knocked on the door, the two teenagers were lying on their respective beds taking a nap. Zheng Yin knocked on the door several times before calling them up. Liang Sizhe was woken up first. He sat up, got out of bed and walked to the other bed with his slippers on. He patted Cao Ye's shoulder twice with his palm, and his voice was still hoarse. "Wake up, Uncle Yin is calling." Then he walked over and opened the door.

"You guys are really big-hearted," Zheng Yin walked in. "Don't you wash up in advance?"

"I'm so sleepy..." Cao Ye sat up listlessly, closed his eyes and yawned a long time.

"Go wash your face and be mentally alert," Zheng Yin walked over to his bed and smoothed his sleepy hair with his fingers, "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

When Cao Ye sat sleepily by the bed and put on his slippers, Liang Sizhe had already washed his face and walked out of the bathroom. He gritted the black hair rope with his teeth, and tied the hair behind his head with both hands.

Zheng Yin watched Cao Ye's eyes go from half-open to slowly widening, then stared straight at Liang Sizhe, couldn't help laughing and patted the back of his head: "Are you Jia Baoyu? Reincarnation, Cao Ye." Looking back at Liang Sizhe, I have to admit that this boy is really eye-catching, more eye-catching than any newcomer Cao Xiuyuan has used before. However, as an actor, sometimes the temperament is too unique and it is not necessarily a good thing.

When Liang Sizhe heard Zheng Yin's words, he had lowered his eyes and tied his hair, but now he looked up at Cao Ye for unknown reasons.

Cao Ye regained his senses and finally woke up from his drowsiness. He felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to change the subject and said, "Didn't you say come here at three o'clock in the afternoon, it's only a little after two o'clock."

"The plan has changed. This is the way to be in this business. You have to be there when you are called, otherwise the opportunity will only be someone else's," Zheng Yin said patiently.

When Cao Ye was washing his face, Zheng Yin pulled out two clothes from the closet and spread them on the bed—a white T-shirt and plaid shorts. When Cao Ye came out of the bathroom, he pointed to the clothes on the bed and said, "Change this dress. ." He knew what kind of image Cao Xiuyuan wanted for the protagonist Xiaoman, and he also knew what clothes Cao Ye wore to best fit that image.

It doesn't matter what Cao Ye wears, he is so happy that he doesn't need to find clothes by himself, he walks over and picks up the clothes on the bed and puts them on.

Liang Sizhe wore a black T and a water-milled blue straight-leg jeans. After changing his clothes, he leaned against the door and waited for Cao Ye.

Zheng Yin looked at him when he went out and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he was hesitant to say anything - in fact, Zheng Yin was hesitating whether to remind him to change his clothes. The body is different. The black color strengthens his unique temperament and makes him look sharper. Liang Sizhe wearing this outfit is too far from Xiaoman's image. It doesn't look like he's going to audition for "Thirteen Days", but he looks like he's going to be an idol star.

But Zheng Yin thought about it and didn't say anything.

There is only one Xiaoman, and he hopes it is Cao Ye, who has grown up with him.

As for Liang Sizhe, to him, he was just a passer-by with a few ties, so he didn't need to be too concerned.
