52. Spring Festival
He Cheng didn't sleep very well after Tan Yijia left, she was afraid of waking up Qiao Jie, who was still asleep next to her, so she resisted the urge to turn over, and lay on the bed in a groggy consciousness, I don't know how long it took for her to wake up suddenly, and what caught her eye was the clock on the small cabinet next to the bed.
It was just six o'clock, He Cheng's wide eyes slowly closed again, she turned over and saw Qiao Jie leaning on the head of the bed looking at her phone expressionlessly, and the sleepy insect disappeared immediately.
"Woke up so early?" He Cheng sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and glanced at her phone screen without a trace.
Although He Cheng felt that her movements were very natural, Qiao Jie knew her too well now, and after glancing at He Cheng, Qiao Jie silently reached out and put the phone in front of her.
Seeing that her careful thoughts were seen through by Qiao Jie, He Cheng was not embarrassed at all, she tilted her body and rolled into Qiao Jie's arms, rubbed her cheeks against her chest, looked up and her eyes were shining, and then said with a smile: "You haven't given me a good morning kiss yet." ”
Qiao Jie stared at her for a few seconds, then a smile flashed in her eyes, she hugged the person in her arms with both hands, lowered her head and kissed He Cheng's lips, the tip of her tongue traced a circle on her lips, and then Liu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Open your mouth." ”
He Cheng closed her lips tightly and didn't open her mouth to let Qiao Jie provoke/tease, her eyes wandered in the direction of the bathroom, she hadn't brushed her teeth yet, .......
Because of He Cheng's non-cooperation, Qiao Jie had no choice but to lose in the end, she bit her lip slightly the lip that was sucked/red/swollen by her, and then let go of He Cheng.
He Cheng touched his lips and felt that he could feel a tooth mark.
Although the good morning kiss was not enjoyable, Qiao Jie's mood was much better, she took the mobile phone she threw aside and shook it at He Cheng, and deliberately said with a straight face: "What's going on?" ”
He Cheng took the phone and looked at the blurry picture on it, shook his head unhappily at Qiao Jie, and said, "This photo is too much, I actually photoshopped you." As she spoke, she also pointed out to Qiao Jie where she should be.
Qiao Jie knew what was going on when she first saw this photo, she patted He Cheng's hair and said softly, "Leave this matter to me." ”
"Okay." After He Cheng agreed, he thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't deal with it, I don't care much." It's just a little scandal, He Cheng thinks it's cost-effective to sacrifice a little bit of his image to ease the relationship between Qiao Jie and her sister.
As soon as He Cheng finished speaking, Qiao Jie's face sank, she glared at He Cheng for a while, and said word by word unhappily: "I care a lot." She didn't want her lover to be involved in scandal at all.
He Cheng lowered his head to prevent the smile on the corner of his mouth from being too obvious, but the happiness that came out of his heart could not be concealed.
"If I had an affair with someone else, wouldn't you care?" Qiao Jie looked at her with extremely serious eyes.
He Cheng's face stiffened for a moment, and he replied without thinking, "I care a lot." She was more reluctant than Qiao Jie to see that happen.
Seeing that He Cheng answered so quickly, Qiao Jie's unhappy feelings just now all disappeared, and after glancing at the time, she grabbed He Cheng's wrist and got up, and said without refusal while walking in the direction of the bathroom: "While it's still early, let's take a shower together." ”
Just taking a bath? He Cheng carried a heart and followed Qiao Jie into the bathroom.
Forty minutes later, He Cheng, whose face was crimson, leaned on Qiao Jie's body and walked out of the bathroom, knowing that when the two of them entered the bathroom together, they definitely didn't just want to take a bath.
Qiao Jie changed her clothes and saw that He Cheng was still lying on the bed and looked so tired that she didn't want to move, she walked over and touched her half-length hair, and said softly: "Let's sleep for a while, it's not too late to go to the set at noon." "There is still no scene of He Cheng in the morning, and it doesn't matter if she stays in the hotel to rest.
He Cheng didn't want to be alone with Wei Qing anymore, and when he heard Qiao Jie say this, he suddenly struggled to get up.
"I'll leave Tan Yijia behind, and you go with her at noon." Qiao Jie knew He Cheng's concerns after a little thought, and patted her back soothingly.
As soon as she heard that she didn't need to be alone with Wei Qing, He Cheng followed Qiao Jie's strength and went back to the bed, she waved her hand back, closed her eyes and said, "Be careful on the road, we'll see you at noon." ”
Qiao Jie squatted down and kissed the tip of her ear, and whispered, "I'm going to eat braised eggplant today." ”
The corners of He Cheng's mouth were slightly hooked, and he replied happily: "Okay." ”
"After the meal, I want to eat oranges for fruits, and drink orange juice for drinks."
He Cheng's face slowly turned red again.
Qiao Jie opened the door and saw Tan Yijia guarding the door, looked at her with a solemn expression, raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”
Tan Yijia didn't know that Qiao Jie already knew about the scandal, she walked to Qiao Jie's side and struggled for a long time before she spoke: "There is something I want to tell you, you ...... Be mentally prepared first. ”
Qiao Jie closed the door and looked at her with her hands on her chest.
Tan Yijia considered her tone and told He Cheng's scandal, she focused on the mastermind behind this incident, and while talking, she was still thinking about how to persuade Qiao Jie to solve it with Qiao Li.
After she finished speaking, Qiao Jie just nodded casually and said that she understood, then patted her on the shoulder and instructed: "He Cheng only went to the set at noon, you stay with her." ”
Tan Yijia nodded stupidly, then watched Qiao Jie turn around and knock on the side Wei Qing waited for the door, and when Qiao Jie went in and the door was closed, she came back to her senses.
The boss will only be so attentive when he meets the boss's wife, Tan Yijia shook his head and sighed in his heart, he is too stupid to work blindly for this matter, and the boss's wife doesn't need to solve it by himself.
Tan Yijia, who hadn't slept well for several days, turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
Wei Qing drove Qiao Jie to the set, the car stopped in the parking space, Wei Qing turned off the car, and then held his breath and calmly observed Qiao Jie's movements from the rearview mirror.
Qiao Jie, who had been closing her eyes on the road, opened her eyes the moment the car stopped, she glanced at Wei Qing in the driver's seat lightly, and said in an indifferent voice: "Give me the phone." ”
Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then took out his mobile phone and handed it to Qiao Jie.
Qiao Jie's slender and round fingers swept across the screen, and after a while, she found the phone number of Qiao Li's secretary Tan Yue, and she dialed without hesitation.
The phone rang for a while, and it was connected, Tan Yue seemed to be very busy, and the first thing she said was, "What's the matter?" ”
"Let my sister answer the phone." Qiao Jie didn't say hello, she was just neat.
Tan Yue on the other side of the phone was stunned for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Qiao Jie?" ”
"Yes."
After Tan Yue determined who the person was, he said respectfully, "Please wait." ”
Qiao Jie waited patiently for a while, and then Qiao Li's questioning voice came from the other side of the phone, "Why don't you call me directly?" ”
Qiao Jie directly ignored her words, and said straight to the point: "Transfer Wei Qing back." ”
Jory was silent.
"I'm an adult, and now I'm married, and I don't want you to meddle in my life."
Jory whispered, "It's ...... at home." ”
Qiao Jie interrupted directly before she could finish speaking, "Their business has nothing to do with me, and as for my business, I don't think it's my fault if they feel troubled." ”
Joli hung up the phone and sat behind her desk, her face cloudy.
Tan Yue stayed in the office after sending her mobile phone, and did not go out, she looked at Qiao Li's face and stopped talking.
Rubbing her eyebrows, Qiao Li had an incomprehensible expression, and said to herself, "Isn't this method the best of both worlds?" Why was she so dissatisfied? He didn't hinder her relationship with He Cheng, but just wanted to use the scandal to divert the public's attention and ease the relationship between Qiao Jie and her family .......
Tan Yue sighed and said softly: "People in love can't rub sand in their eyes, Mr. Qiao." When she first proposed this method to Qiao Li, she knew that it would fail, but she also knew the stubborn side of Qiao Li's character, and she wanted to persuade but couldn't open her mouth.
Hearing Tan Yue say this, Qiao Li looked at her blankly for a while, and then shook her head slightly, then her own mobile phone on her desk suddenly rang, looking at the word "mother" on the mobile phone screen, Qiao Li thought of what Qiao Jie said just now, frowned, did not choose to connect, but looked at it, and did not look away until it stopped ringing.
After talking to Qiao Li on the other side, Qiao Jie returned the phone to Wei Qing and said lightly, "You can go back to the company." ”
Wei Qing took the phone, then handed the car key to Qiao Jie, and said in a low voice, "Okay." ”
At noon, He Cheng and Tan Yijia came to the set together, Qiao Jie was already waiting for them in the lounge, He Cheng handed Qiao Jie the orange juice he bought, looked around curiously, and asked, "Where is Wei Qing?" ”
Qiao Jie didn't take the orange juice, but took a sip directly from He Cheng's hand, and said softly, "I'm back to the company." ”
He Cheng looked at her in surprise.
"Probably there's something going on in the company." Qiao Jie winked at He Cheng.
Tan Yijia was happiest about Wei Qing's departure, she put the dish she brought to Wei Qing in the middle, and excitedly announced: "Since she is gone, then we will share her dish." ”
Of course, He Cheng and Qiao Jie had no opinion, and after lunch, the three of them ate a little.
Time is in a hurry, after Wei Qing left, He Cheng and the three of them resumed their previous lives on the set, with a heavy snowfall, December also walked slowly, the filming of "Undercover" has come to an end, and supporting roles like He Cheng have already been completed for many days.
After He Cheng's role was completed, she did not leave, but became Qiao Jie's little assistant again, and was busy with Qiao Jie on the set, which made Tan Yijia, who was both an agent and an assistant, a lot easier, and she began to specialize in agent matters again.
The director is still busy editing dubbing and post-production, and the time for the Golden Rooster Award is getting closer and closer, and the director, actors, and staff work overtime together to catch up, and finally finish work within half a month after New Year's Day.
Because Qiao Jie didn't have time on New Year's Day, He Cheng didn't go back to spend it with his family, but he had already decided to take Qiao Jie home after the finale to celebrate the Spring Festival together.
Qiao Jie has been looking forward to going back to her home with He Cheng, so when it was finally finished, she didn't even participate in the crew's finale banquet, and directly took He Cheng without even returning to her own home, and flew to the city of He Cheng's parents, and then wore a mask to sweep the supermarket.
The second visit, Qiao Jie was more prepared than the first time, the two of them couldn't hold the big bags and small bags, He Cheng looked at the taxi trunk and half of the things, sighed helplessly, could only put down the things in his hand and called He Ju.
He Ju came down quickly, and He Mother and He Dad also came down behind her, and the four of them finally took everything upstairs.
Mother He looked at the things piled up on the sofa in the living room, and said with a sad face: "Come back when you come back, what are you doing with so many things, there is nothing missing at home." With that, she looked around, wondering where it would be better to move all these things.
He Cheng laughed dryly, patted Qiao Jie's arm next to him, and said, "These are all bought by Qiao Jie." She paused for a moment and said in a tentative tone: "Mom, Qiao Jie will celebrate the New Year with us this year." After speaking, she looked at Mother He's expression a little nervously.
Even Qiao Jie was a little nervous.
Mother He was stunned when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a more lively time." She remembered something and asked, "What about the little girl who loved buns with you last time?" Isn't she coming to celebrate the New Year together? ”
Tan Yijia parted ways with them after the crew was finished, and she was directly called home by Tan Yue for the New Year.
After Qiao Jie finished explaining Tan Yijia, she smiled politely at Mother He and said, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
Mother He waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay, you go back to the room and rest for a while, Auntie will make you Coke chicken wings at night." After speaking, she began to instruct He Ju and He He's father to carry things.
Qiao Jie thought about it and planned to stay and help together, but was directly pulled back to the bedroom by He Cheng.
"You go take a shower and get some sleep." He Cheng looked at the dark circles under Qiao Jie's eyes and felt a little distressed, she had been staying up late filming a while ago, and she couldn't sleep for a few hours a day.
As soon as He Cheng said this, Qiao Jie, who had always been excited about being able to go home with He Cheng for the New Year, gradually relaxed, she took out her pajamas from the suitcase, and then rubbed He Cheng in her arms and went to the bathroom by herself.
He Cheng went out after Qiao Jie went to the bathroom, followed He Ju and the others to obey He's mother's command, holding two bags, He Cheng peeked at He Mama who didn't pay attention to them here, and then touched He Ju's arm and asked quietly, "Mom, what is the situation with them?" ”
He Ju glanced at her and pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
He Cheng looked at He Ju expressionlessly, and said in a low voice: "I'm so nervous, don't tease me?" In fact, her idea of bringing Qiao Jie back for the New Year this time was a bit bold, but she had to go home for the New Year, and she was a little reluctant to leave Qiao Jie alone in the empty home.
Although when she asked Qiao Jie about her plans for the New Year, Qiao Jie just said lightly that she was used to being alone, and did not propose to go home with He Cheng or let her stay willfully, but He Cheng still felt her low feelings that day.
The scandal between her and Qiao Jie has been rumored for so long, but except for He Ju after contacting her that time, her parents never mentioned it every time they called, which made He Cheng feel that they had agreed by default.
He Ju admired He Cheng's nervous expression for a while, and just when He Cheng was about to can't help but want to beat her, she shrugged her shoulders leisurely and said, "Sister, I just came home from school vacation, okay?" How do I know what my parents think? "She's only been back for two days.
He Cheng glared at her.
I couldn't figure out what my parents meant, He Cheng was also happy to think about the good side, and after eating a hearty meal in the evening, He Cheng pulled Qiao Jie to join the team of He Mama walking after dinner.
Qiao Jie has always been very keen on being able to brush up on He Cheng's parents, and when she left, she also glanced at He Dad regretfully, if he also went with him, it would be good if he could brush it together.
He Ju followed He's mother in front, Qiao Jie took He Cheng's arm, lowered her head to her ear and whispered, "Does Uncle have any favorite hobbies?" ”
He Cheng thought about it, nodded affirmatively, and said, "My dad likes to play chess. ”
Chess...... Qiao Jie only learned a little when she was a child, and now she has almost forgotten it, but she should be able to pick it up soon if she has the foundation, right? Don't ask for it to be very powerful, as long as you can play with Dad He for ten minutes and lose, it's not a shame.
Qiao Jie was thinking about chess, and at the same time came to the front and tried to join He Ju and He Ma's chatting team, He Ju knew Qiao Jie's intentions, and quietly threw the topic to her.
He Cheng hugged one of Qiao Jie's arms, and walked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mother He glanced at He Cheng, who was holding Qiao Jie's arm, and shook her head slightly, but she didn't say anything, and she was always kind and pleasant during the chat with Qiao Jie.
When there were still three or four days before the Spring Festival, He's mother took He Cheng and He Ju to the morning market and went to the supermarket to start buying New Year's goods, while Qiao Jie stayed behind to play chess with He's father.
After running back and forth for two days, Mother He finally bought all the things she wanted to buy, but He Cheng and He Ju were about to break their legs, Mother He looked at the two people spread out on the sofa, sighed speechlessly, and said: "You are still young people, and your body is not as good as me." ”
Qiao Jie was happily taken down by Father He, and when she heard He Cheng's voice, she came to the living room, and just heard Mother He's words, she patted her ass and said, "Auntie is still very young." ”
Mother He was obviously pleased by Qiao Jie, she touched her face and said happily: "It seems that the mask I bought recently is not bad, I'll put another one on." After saying that, he went back to his bedroom.
He Cheng looked at He's mother's back, and then gave Qiao Jie a thumbs up weakly.
Qiao Jie touched He Cheng's somewhat damp hair, and said distressedly, "I'll go with you next time." She wanted to go with them at the beginning, but was stopped by He Cheng.
He Cheng saw that there was no one else in the living room except He Ju, so he stretched out his hand to Qiao Jie and said softly: "I'm so tired that I want to go back to the bedroom and carry me over." ”
She didn't dare to let Qiao Jie carry her over, although she was quite lightweight, but it was not so light that Qiao Jie could carry her to come and go freely.
Qiao Jie obediently squatted in front of He Cheng, and after He Cheng lay on her back, she carried her back to the bedroom directly.
He Ju lay on the sofa and looked at the backs of the two and twitched the corners of his mouth.
The first two days of the Spring Festival are the busiest times, and Mother He handpicked Sister He Cheng to cook with her, and the chess group that escaped to go outside to buy New Year's goods is not so idle this time, Qiao Jie and Father He are responsible for cleaning.
Because there were relatives to visit after the year, He's mother prepared a lot of fish and meat, He Cheng carefully packed up the second fish in her hand, and He's mother suddenly came over and asked, "What does Qiao Jie like to eat?" ”
He Cheng was stunned for a moment, thought about it seriously and said, "I think she likes to eat what you make." She really didn't say this because she wanted to please her mother, it was that Qiao Jie really liked to eat the dishes her mother cooked, and for a while, He Cheng felt that Qiao Jie must have gained several pounds.
After getting along together for so many days, Mother He now fully understands how big Qiao Jie's appetite is, and she muttered while stirring the meat filling in the basin: "I didn't expect it to be so easy to feed." ”
He Cheng listened to He's mother's movements.
Mother He glanced at He Cheng's serious appearance, pursed her lips, and simply ran to He Ju's side without saying anything.
In the living room, Qiao Jie and Father He each wiped the glass cloth, wearing He Cheng's freshly folded paper hat on their heads, and chatting about chess while carefully wiping the glass.
Said to be small talk is actually all Dad He's teaching to Qiao Jie, Dad He has this hobby of chess, but no one at home likes to play with him, so he often goes out to find a chess partner, since Qiao Jie came, he hasn't gone out for a long time, although Qiao Jie's chess skills are average, but this child plays chess very calmly, Dad He feels that she still has a lot of room for improvement.
On the day of the Spring Festival, He Cheng and Qiao Jie got up early in the morning, and after being tired of being in bed for a while, He Cheng's mobile phone rang, because it was relatively close to Qiao Jie, she took it over and took a look and found that it was Tan Yijia, so she didn't give it to He Cheng but connected it directly.
"Are you here for New Year's greetings?" Qiao Jie asked in a light tone.
Tan Yijia thought she had dialed the wrong number when she heard Qiao Jie's voice coming from there, but it didn't matter who it was, the reason why she called He Cheng was because she was worried that Qiao Jie's mobile phone was not around, she settled down and said: "Happy New Year, the director just informed me that the film has been submitted for the Golden Rooster Award, and he also helped you two nominate it." ”
"It's already edited so soon?" Qiao Jie expressed surprise at the director's speed.
Tan Yijia was also curious about this, so after Qiao Jie asked, he replied directly: "The director worked overtime to complete it in order to submit it for review before the deadline." ”
"Well, is there anything else?" Qiao Jie was about to hang up the phone as she spoke.
Tan Yijia hurriedly shouted twice to stop Qiao Jie, and then coughed dryly and said, "That...... When you come back, can you bring me a few steamed buns made by Mother He? "She really, really loves to eat.
The answer to Tan Yijia was the busy tone after the phone hung up.
He Cheng watched Qiao Jie hang up the phone, got up and lay on her lap, looked at her expectantly and said, "Are you going to win the award again this time?" She has been looking forward to the day when she can sit in the audience and see Qiao Jie on the stage receiving the award with her own eyes.
"It's us." Qiao Jie hugged He Cheng and said with a soft smile.
He Cheng didn't care much about whether she could get the award, she thought about it and said with some concern: "It's just been more than a month, there won't be any problems with the editing, right?" "There is also dubbing and post-production, He Cheng is a little worried that the finished product will be flawed.
Qiao Jie also thought of this point when He Cheng thought of it, although she also felt that the time used was a little short, but the one who paid the most attention to this film was the director, and the director said that there was no problem...... Qiao Jie patted He Cheng's buttocks and said with a playful smile: "Don't think about this, today is the new year, we ......." She hadn't finished speaking, but her hand had already taken the place of her mouth.
He Cheng's face turned red, she pushed Qiao Jie away and got up, then trotted to the door to lock the door, and then turned back and pounced directly on Qiao Jie's body.
Qiao Jie hugged He Cheng, who pounced on, and the two of them quickly rolled together.
