Lu Nianxin's meal was scheduled for a week later, and the time was getting closer and closer to the new year.
The people who ate this meal together tonight were friends and partners who had worked together for many years in Yang Youming's career. Xia Xingcheng was a little nervous for no reason. Yang Youming's parents have passed away, and his friends and partners may be closer than his living relatives, which makes Xia Xingcheng feel like he is going to see Yang Youming's parents.
That morning, Xia Xingcheng was looking for clothes to wear at night in the cloakroom.
Yang Youming leaned against the wall with his hands behind him and looked at him. Seeing that he was not satisfied after trying on several sets of clothes, he said, "Are you dressed up for a blind date tonight?"
Xia Xingcheng was holding a sweater and gesturing in the mirror on his body. Hearing this, he turned to look at Yang Youming, "I want to dress up so I can't embarrass you."
Yang Youming smiled and stretched out a hand towards him: "Come."
Xia Xingcheng quickly walked over to him and held his hand.
Yang Youming said, "You look good in anything you wear."
Xia Xingcheng wished he could hug him and take a bite.
Yang Youming said softly again, "It's best to look good without it."
When I went out in the afternoon, there was a little snow in the sky. I don't know if it was because of this snow that the traffic jam on the road was particularly severe.
Xia Xingcheng sat in the co-pilot and put his face against the cold window glass to watch the snowflakes fluttering in the sky. He said, "We have lived together for so long, and I have never seen Du Jin."
Yang Youming said while driving, "Look, I haven't had a job for more than a year."
Xia Xingcheng turned to look at him.
Yang Youming smiled, "He will call me if he has something to do, and it is not his turn to do other errands now."
However, Xia Xingcheng thought of another thing: "Brother Ming, please do more scenes."
Cars lined up in a long line at the intersection waiting for the red light.
Yang Youming stepped on the brakes and glanced at him.
Xia Xingcheng said: "If you don't film, it's a loss for the entire film industry."
Yang Youming couldn't help laughing, "Only you would think so."
Xia Xingcheng said, "Of course not. You can only hear what I say. You can see if you have so many fans that you can come out and show your face."
The red light at the intersection turned green, the cars in front began to pass slowly, Yang Youming's eyes turned to the front, and he followed the cars in front through the intersection.
Xia Xingcheng continued: "I just thought that you and I could make more dramas. When we get old and stay at home, we can take out the dramas we have acted in the past."
Yang Youming said: "You haven't watched "Far Away" until now, have you?"
Xia Xingcheng glanced at him and whispered, "Let's talk about it later."
Yang Youming smiled again, "Don't you still have several idol dramas? If you want to watch it, we can watch it slowly."
Xia Xingcheng knew that Yang Youming said this to tease him, or he said, "You said it, then you have to watch it." After speaking, he couldn't help laughing himself.
The place to eat was decided by Lu Nianxin. It was a remote clubhouse. Yang Youming drove for nearly two hours to get there.
The snow on the mountain was even heavier than in the city. The moment Xia Xingcheng opened the car door, the cold air hit his face. He unconsciously wrapped his down jacket tightly. When he looked up, he saw Li Yun standing under the eaves in front of him. He wanted to trot over. , could not help but stop in place.
Yang Youming closed the car door and walked around from the driver's seat, grabbed Xia Xingcheng's hand, and pulled him to walk over together.
Li Yun didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at Yang Youming, "It's finally time for you."
Yang Youming said: "The traffic jam is too bad."
Xia Xingcheng was a little nervous and called out, "Sister Yun."
Li Yun also smiled at him and said, "Come in." After speaking, she turned around and led the way.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the clubhouse has red lanterns hanging from the gate to the corridor. Xia Xingcheng walked all the way, and his face was also brightly red. When Li Yun took them into the private room, Xia Xingcheng realized that the private room was more lively than he had imagined. Besides Lu Nianxin, there were several other people.
One of the tall and thin men with glasses, although he had never dealt with him, had seen the photos. This man was Du Jin.
As soon as Lu Nianxin saw Xia Xingcheng come in, he smiled and walked over to greet him. He raised his arm to touch Xia Xingcheng's shoulder, but Yang Youming slapped it away.
Xia Xingcheng stopped and retreated behind Yang Youming.
Lu Nianxin looked down at his arm and said to Yang Youming, "Why?"
Yang Youming only said: "Stay away from him."
Lu Nianxin laughed, stopped insisting, turned around and said to Du Jin, "Lao Yang is here with his little boyfriend, why don't you say hello?"
Xia Xingcheng was very dissatisfied with the title of "little boyfriend". He always felt that it sounded too casual, so he couldn't help but say, "I was the new wife that day, but today I will be my little boyfriend."
Lu Nianxin looked back at him in surprise.
Yang Youming put his arms around Xia Xingcheng's waist, pushed him forward, and said with a smile, "Introduce me, my wife."
Xia Xingcheng blushed suddenly.
Du Jin said at this time, "What is your wife, have you got a marriage certificate?"
Yang Youming turned his head and said to Xia Xingcheng, "It's okay, I can't get me to make one for you." After speaking, he kissed Xia Xingcheng's temple.
Xia Xingcheng's face was still red.
After that, Yang Youming introduced him to the other people in the private room, among them a middle-aged man was Li Yun's husband, and a beautiful young woman was Du Jin's wife.
Although Lu Nianxin has a bunch of lovers out there, he won't bring any of them here on such occasions. In fact, those lovers can't be called lovers.
They sat down at the round table.
Lu Nianxin leaned back, and the legs of both stools were upturned. He looked at Xia Xingcheng and said with a smile, "Can't wait to be your wife Ming?"
Xia Xingcheng said, "It's not a little boyfriend anyway."
Du Jin's expression was serious, his slender eyes watched Xia Xingcheng behind his glasses, and he looked at Yang Youming for a while and said, "What are your plans?"
Yang Youming's tone was quite calm, and he asked him, "What is your plan?"
Du Jin said: "You have rested for so long, should you come out to work?"
"Wait a minute," Lu Nianxin raised his hand to interrupt him, "what are you doing? Tonight we are reunion, what kind of work are we talking about, you want to talk to Lao Yang about work and make an appointment for another day, you can talk slowly, I didn't see us like this How many people are waiting for a drink? Right, Starway?"
Xia Xingcheng did not answer him.
Yang Youming glanced at Du Jin and said, "Let's talk about it another day."
Lu Nianxin snapped his fingers and said to Li Yun, "Go and urge to order hot dishes, we're going to eat."
Soon, the waiters brought the hot dishes one after another, filling the entire table, with a white wine cup in front of everyone. After pouring the wine, Lu Nianxin was the first to stand up with the wine glass and said, "Today It's a rare opportunity for us to be together for a year, so we must have a toast first."
Everyone else got their glasses and stood up to toast.
Xia Xingcheng didn't eat a single bite of the food, so he drank a glass of white wine and burned it all the way from his throat to his stomach. He was about to sit down with an empty wine glass, and Lu Nianxin had already picked up the wine dispenser on the table and filled himself with another glass of wine. Said: "For the second cup, I want to honor Xingcheng and welcome him to come today."
Du Jin gave him a white look.
Xia Xingcheng had no choice but to fill himself with wine again, stood up to clink glasses with Lu Nianxin, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Nianxin held the wine glass in his right hand, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Xia Xingcheng's wrist, and said, "What's your name, Mr. Lu, call me Brother Xin." He said the last two words very lightly and raised his eyebrows.
Xia Xingcheng smiled at him, tried his best to take his hand back, and drank a second glass of wine.
Lu Nianxin also drank the wine in one gulp, picked up the wine dispenser and poured himself a third glass of wine, turned his eyes on the table, and said to Yang Youming and Xia Xingcheng, "I must respect you for the third cup, congratulations to you all. Lovers get married."
Xia Xingcheng raised his hand to pour the wine, but Yang Youming grabbed his wrist, looked at Lu Nianxin and said, "Okay, we've got it, please sit down."
Lu Nianxin still wanted to entangle, but Yang Youming smiled and looked at him, but didn't let go of Xia Xingcheng's hand, Lu Nianxin had to say, "Forget it, we don't dare to provoke you." After speaking, he sat down on the seat.
Yang Youming picked up the chopsticks, raised his hand to put a hot dish for Xia Xingcheng in the bowl, and said softly, "Eat something first, you don't need to pay attention to him."
Xia Xingcheng nodded.
Seeing that Yang Youming moved his chopsticks first, everyone else started to eat.
This meal was actually quite lively. The main reason was that Lu Nianxin was a restless person. He was either looking for someone to talk to or someone to drink. Although he was the big boss of Juxin, everyone was obviously more afraid of Yang Youming, and no one was afraid of him.
After eating, Lu Nianxin drank a lot of wine, opened his clothes and leaned on the back of the chair to smoke with a blushing face. He said to Xia Xingcheng, "Would you like to change jobs and come to Juxin to be with your brother Ming?"
Xia Xingcheng was stunned for a moment.
Lu Nianxin said, "I'm very familiar with you, President Cai. I'll go tell her."
Xia Xingcheng said quickly: "No need, I think the company is very good now."
Lu Nianxin went to see Yang Youming with a cigarette in his mouth.
Yang Youming also drank some wine, his cheeks were rosy, and the hair on his forehead was pushed up by his hand, slightly messy, and said, "Just be happy at work." As he spoke, he put one arm on Xia Xingcheng's On the back of the seat, the index finger gently scratched the back of Xia Xingcheng's neck.
Xia Xingcheng felt itchy and could not help shrinking his neck.
At this time, Du Jin's wife got close to Li Yun and his wife, and was chatting with them about their children's studies.
Du Jin said to Yang Youming, "I met He Zheng last week, and he talked to me about his new play."
This time, Lu Nianxin didn't interrupt them to talk about work. He just took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case, threw one to Du Jin, and another to Yang Youming. Yang Youming shook his head and said that he didn't need it. Lu Nianxin still held it in his hand. One, signaled to Xia Xingcheng.
Xia Xingcheng also shook his head.
Du Jin said: "You have cooperated with He Zheng so many times, and it is very pleasant to cooperate. You should think about it again."
Yang Youming put his finger on the back of Xia Xingcheng's neck and stopped, looked at Du Jin and asked, "Do you know that He Zheng wanted to invite me and Xingcheng to play his new play together?"
Du Jin was obviously stunned, "So? What does he mean now?"
Yang Youming said: "I don't know what he means now? You can ask again next time you meet."
Du Jin asked him again, "What do you mean?"
Yang Youming replied, "I'm still thinking about it, I want to see what He Zheng means."
Lu Nianxin interjected: "Are you guessing? What do you mean?"
Du Jin glanced at Xia Xingcheng and said, "No, no matter what He Zheng means now, I don't approve of you taking on the show together again."
