The Show Begins

Chapter 38: There was a thief in the house

Views:

Lai Yang struggled on the keyboard for a long time, and finally only sent three words.

Boy friend

Male friend!! Tian Jing replied immediately this time.

Looking at the screen, Lai Yang suddenly thought of the man he met that day. His spotless leather shoes left a deep impression on him.

After replying with an "oh", Lai Yang asked her why she ran to someone else's house when her foot injury had not healed yet

After this sentence was sent out, there was an obvious sour taste.

But Lai Yang didn't think so. He just wanted to figure out what their relationship was.

After a round of indirect questioning, Lai Yang finally understood that Tian Jing was going to meet her American classmate today.

She just returned to Shanghai a while ago, and then went on a business trip. She just came back today and I invited her to my house for dinner.

Lai Yang leaned against the head of the bed, lit a cigarette, smoked it and typed.

Oh, that’s still a little turtle

What little turtle

Oh... Little turtle, wrong number. Lai Yang added that he actually wanted to say little bastard.

Now he has basically confirmed that the American classmate that Tianjing mentioned should be the man he met that day. Thinking of this, the scene of Tianjing walking side by side with him came to his mind again.

At that time, Tianjing was smiling like a flower, and it looked like she was happy.

After taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Lai Yang didn't know how to reply to the message. Instead, Tian Jing took the initiative to send a message after a while.

What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about today

… Well, it’s not a big deal. The main thing is that Li Dian wants to treat me to a meal.

Lai Yang threw the pot on Li Dian, and then explained that everyone was very grateful to her, so they wanted to arrange a meal together.

After sending the message, Lai Yang lit up another cigarette, his mood rising and falling like duckweed on the water.

Until the phone dinged, he quickly picked it up and asked quietly what time it was and where he was.

With just one simple sentence, Lai Yang's face turned from gloomy to bright. The words on the screen were like light shining through the clouds, instantly illuminating the earth.

It seems that I am also a friend with "weight" in her heart, no worse than that little bastard.

Don't run away until your foot is fully healed. I will bring everyone to your house.

After Lai Yang finished sending this message with a smile, Tian Jing sent back a few expressions of holding a knife.

Haha, just kidding, it’s near your house, I’ll look for a restaurant on my phone this afternoon, Lai Yang replied.

Oh... Didn't Li Dian treat me? Why do I need you to find a restaurant

Even through the screen, Lai Yang could feel that pretty smiling face, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. Now Lai Yang didn't know how to respond.

After getting up, Lai Yang opened the curtains. The snow had stopped today. The sun was shyly hiding in the goose-feather clouds, and a little warm sunlight occasionally came through.

Last night's snow fell thickly on the distant buildings, as if covering them with a layer of white wedding veil, and the world was quiet.

After cleaning up, Lai Yang bought breakfast for Yuan Shengda and hung it on the door handle, and sent a WeChat message to remind her to remember to eat after she woke up.

After arriving at the theater, Lai Yang also made an appointment with Song Wen to come over in advance, because he had to return to Xi'an tomorrow, so he needed Song Wen to take over his performance.

Because it was the weekend, he brought Yunlu with him. The two of them held hands, their faces filled with happiness nourished by love.

It's really hard to guard against the dog food this is spreading.

When Lai Yang saw them from afar at the door, he suddenly felt something stabbed in his heart.

It was as if I saw my past with Gu Qian across time in an instant. I hope that they don't end up like me.

"Hey, Yunlu, you look so rosy." Lai Yang said with a smile as they walked in.

Adults all understand what this sentence means.

Yunlu has the same personality as Yuan Shengda, both are strong-willed women, and she has become more and more familiar with Laiyang recently, so she glared at Laiyang and said, "Brother Yang, you look so good. What did you do with your sister-in-law last night?"

"Sister-in-law? Who are you talking about?"

"Hey, Brother Yang, how many women do you have? And you're asking who I am?"

Just as Lai Yang was about to start a fight, Song Wen pulled Yun Lu's arm and said with a gloomy face, "How do you talk to Brother Yang like that?"

This kid is quite a good person, but Lai Yang likes him.

"What do you mean by several women? Brother Yang can't like men? Right, Brother Yang, hehe~~" Song Wen said with a sly grin.

Lai Yang couldn't afford to offend this male and female duo, so he simply gave up. After the fight died down, he pulled Song Wen into the theater and began to tell Song Wen the rhythm of his skits, bit by bit.

In fact, for a good talk show host, the content of the jokes is only one aspect, but grasping the rhythm is the most important thing. Even with the same content, a newcomer and an old actor can produce completely different effects.

Song Wen is very talented. After Lai Yang spoke for half an hour, he not only mastered the rhythm, but also spoke with a different flavor.

Especially those two naughty laughs, which made Lai Yang want to imitate him in the future.

After lunch, Yuan Shengda woke up and sent a message saying that his breakfast was cold and asked why it was not delivered.

Come in

Lai Yang got angry and retorted: Why don’t I feed you

Yuan Shengda didn't respond. A few minutes later, he called directly and shouted in a lazy little voice, "Laiyang, did you really make me some footbath water last night?"

Lai Yang guessed that she must have seen the basin. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Nonsense, I really wanted to wash your feet, but you didn't have the blessing and fell asleep? Hey, don't blame me for not taking good care of you in the future~"

"Ah-you! Then why didn't you wake me up?"

Lai Yang was a little confused. It was just that she didn't wash her feet. Was there any need for her to shout so loudly

After the two of them grumbled for a while, Li Dian returned to the theater, looking very happy, and it was obvious that he had received the money.

Lai Yang guessed correctly. The performance organizer paid the fees. In addition to the two thousand yuan for Yunlu and the girl she brought, there was also thirteen thousand yuan in performance fees.

Li Dian stuffed all the money into Lai Yang's pocket and asked him to use it to repay Yuan Shengda.

Looking at the stack of cash in his hand, Lai Yang's mouth twitched and said, "There really is a lot of cash in the mall. Can't we transfer it?"

After Lai Yang put the money into his upper body pocket, Li Dian lowered his glasses and said, "Although the theater's traffic is stronger now than before, it will take some time to make money. I mean when you give the money to Sheng Da at night, you can also ask her to find a part-time job during the day, otherwise she will be short of money when she needs money urgently in the future."

Lai Yang knew that Li Dian had good intentions and nodded in agreement.

"There's one more thing Laiyang... I need your help again. It's only a few days until the end of the month, so after dinner tonight..."

Li Dian’s meaning was very clear, he wanted to find Tianjing to renew the lease.

Although Lai Yang didn't like to make demands right after inviting people to dinner, he had to consider practical issues, so he nodded and said he would find a suitable time to talk about it.

Li nodded and went to find Yunlu to give her the performance fee. She danced with joy and kept thanking the boss.

It always gets dark very early in winter. The white clouds are turned black by the wind, and the city lights gradually light up, and night falls again.

Although Yuan Shengda was not feeling well, he did not miss the performance in the evening, and after the performance, everyone made an appointment to have dinner with Tian Jing.

When the performance was about to end, Lai Yang called Tian Jing, but when the call was connected, his tone was full of nervousness.

"Hey... Laiyang, I may not be able to have dinner with you tonight."

Lai Yang's heart tightened and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"My house... was broken into."
