23. Stop acting like a fool
Back in time, on the day when Chen Hanyun interrupted Zeng Chuxi's confession, Zeng Chuxi was escorted back to the company's headquarters like a prisoner by Chen Hanyun's personal bodyguard.
Wu Yucheng is a newly signed artist in the film and television department of Xingya Media, not a trainee of Xingya, when Zeng Chuxi returned to the company that day, she happened to come out of the agent's office.
She was a little surprised to see Zeng Chuxi reluctantly walking in front of her, she felt that she hadn't seen him for several years.
Wu Yucheng secretly followed behind Zeng Chuxi and walked to the door of the brokerage director's office, Chen Hanyun's business ability has been excellent in the past two years, and he has already risen to the position of director.
Although Chen Hanyun is the director, he is still Zeng Chuxi's agent.
As soon as she entered the office door, she sat down on the chair angrily, and saw that Zeng Chuxi did not sit down opposite her, but stood not far from the door.
Chen Hanyun was furious: "Can't you even sit down with me and talk face-to-face calmly now?" β
"I guess you can't do it." Zeng Chuxi rebounded back.
ββ¦ Okay, you say, what the hell do you think now? Idols are enough, and they want to fall in love? β
"But who says that idols can't fall in love?"
"Since you're going to ask that, why don't you ask your fans and ask them if they'd like to see you fall in love."
"Don't talk to me about fans, who doesn't want to see me fall in love, don't you know in your heart?" Zeng Chuxi endured the pain and roared.
Chen Hanyun was taken aback, it seemed that Zeng Chuxi was really angry this time, in order not to have a more violent conflict with him, Chen Hanyun gently rubbed his temples: "Okay, you go back first." In the past few days, we have all calmed down first. β
Zeng Chuxi also knew that he had a slight gaffe just now, although he had been a young master a lot of anger before, but this time it involved subtle emotions, and the two of them knew that they could not continue to discuss.
Zeng Chuxi took a deep breath, frowned and left the office without speaking.
Who knew that as soon as he came out of the office door, he bumped into Wu Yucheng, but he couldn't put on a good face for Wu Yucheng when he was angry, he said lightly: "What are you doing here, go home if you have nothing to do." β
Wu Yucheng saw that Zeng Chuxi was about to leave, she hurried up and said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you want to have a cup of coffee?" β
"How old are you, you drink coffee every day."
"It's okay to drink milk tea." Wu Yucheng said with a smile.
Zeng Chuxi relied on his best efforts to observe her calmly, but he hadn't seen her for a year, and Wu Yucheng was really no longer the little girl she was back then.
She has grown up, she can wear beautiful makeup, she can wear beautiful clothes, she has become less childish than she was at the beginning, and she even plans her future in her heart.
Zeng Chuxi: "Okay, although it seems that you don't need my brother to pet you anymore." β
Wu Yucheng: "You don't seem to have time to take care of me in the future, right?" β
Zeng Chuxi: "How do you say this?" β
Wu Yucheng: "You believe me, you and Cen Diya will definitely be together." β
Later, Zeng Chuxi and Wu Yucheng went to the cafΓ© downstairs of the company together. Zeng Chuxi helped Wu Yucheng order a cup of milk tea, but ordered himself a cup of coffee.
Zeng Chuxi: "Why are you sure that Cen Diya and I will definitely be together." β
Wu Yucheng: "Because of love." β
"I'm serious." Zeng Chuxi smiled, I don't know when Wu Yucheng will make this kind of joke with him.
"Hey, Sister Hanyun doesn't know, forget it, why don't you know. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sister Hanyun's feelings for you are not the kind of love between lovers at all. β
"Which kind is that?"
"The authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear, she should be a kind of love between relatives, just like she treats Brother Hao Yun, she treats you as her own brother."
Wu Yucheng himself never thought that she was not only not a stumbling block on the emotional road between Zeng Chuxi and Cen Diya, but also a stepping stone for them, injecting hope into their emotional path.
Zeng Chuxi was able to think through Wu Yucheng after such a little dialing.
Wu Yucheng left after receiving a call from her classmates, she still had an acting assignment to finish and had to hurry back to school. Only Zeng Chuxi was left to sit by the window in a daze, and he didn't leave until he drank his last sip of coffee.
When Zeng Chuxi came out of the cafΓ©, it was already approaching evening.
He looked up at the dense sky where purple and blue overlapped, and then looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, it turned out that he was just an ordinary person in this world.
Zeng Chuxi gave himself a few days off. In fact, Chen Hanyun gave each other a few days off, and Zeng Chuxi just obeyed the arrangement.
In the past, Zeng Chuxi didn't think that Chen Hanyun liked to point fingers at his life, but now that he thinks about it carefully, in fact, Chen Hanyun treats him as a relative.
Zeng Chuxi has a large apartment in Beijing, and there were only two people living in the family, father and son, but his father has been receiving treatment in a nursing home, so he is always home alone.
Zeng Chuxi can only accompany his father when he is not busy, but only when he is not busy in the first few years of illness, he has been a little popular in the entertainment industry in the past two years, so it is inconvenient to visit his father in the nursing home often, for fear of being targeted by the paparazzi.
In the past, Zeng Chuxi would also call Xiao Yue and Xiao Li to come to the house for dinner, chatting, and playing. But in the past few days, Zeng Chuxi was worried about his feelings and was not in the mood to play with them.
So in the past few days, Zeng Chuxi has done the most either sleeping or in a daze, and there is no reason not to calm down at all.
Until Chen Hanyun sent a message: "Xizai, in a few days it will be my mother's death day, Haoyun is not in the country, can you accompany me?" β
"Okay." In the past few years, Zeng Chuxi didn't go with Chen Hanyun.
Zeng Chuxi breathed a long sigh of relief, he had thought a lot about it in the past few days, and he had already thought about it very clearly. So he will personally tell Chen Hanyun all his true thoughts and help her take a hard look at her heart.
The day of Chen's mother's death was actually Chen's father's death day. But Chen Hanyun told Zeng Chuxi that I don't know who set the rules, the men of the Chen family have not been able to die for generations, and the daughter-in-law of the Chen family has to go to worship every year.
It may be left over from the war of ancient officers and soldiers, but not all people surnamed Chen have this rule.
Zeng Chuxi didn't think about it so much, he drove his Land Rover downstairs to Chen Hanyun's house, and after a few honks, Chen Hanyun hurriedly came out of the building.
"It's motion sickness medicine." When Chen Hanyun sat in the passenger seat, Zeng Chuxi intimately picked up the medicine box on the front card slot and handed it to her.
Chen Hanyun was a little flattered, she knew that Xi Zai was very caring, and she would not really turn against herself for the sake of Cen Diya, she smiled and took the motion sickness medicine before saying thank you.
Zeng Chuxi's voice sounded at this time: "I just don't want you to vomit my car dirty after motion sickness." β
Chen Hanyun knew that he was joking, so he slapped him unceremoniously and said, "You kid, can't you be duplicitous!" β
"Fasten your seatbelts, I'm leaving." Zeng Chuxi reminded with a smile.
Chen Hanyun undeniably fastened his seat belt, and Zeng Chuxi drove away in the dust.
Chen Hanyun's hometown is in Ningbo, Zhejiang, Zeng Chuxi's Land Rover got on the highway, and he kept a cold face and ignored Chen Hanyun the whole time. When the car drove to the cemetery pile, it was already the second half of the afternoon.
When Zeng Chuxi accompanied Chen Hanyun to commemorate Aunt Chen, he was also silent and did not say a word. Chen Hanyun knelt in front of her mother's tombstone, crying and talking, and mentioned that Chen Haoyun was studying abroad and everything was fine. However, Zeng Chuxi still put a stick of incense on Aunt Chen out of politeness, wishing her that the old man was well there.
Later, Chen Hanyun followed Zeng Chuxi back to the car, and they sat together in the front of the car illuminated by the sunset, unintentionally looking at the scenery of the wilderness outside the car.
Chen Hanyun just wanted to question him, why was he so cold?
Zeng Chuxi started the topic: "Sister Hanyun, I want to chat with you." β
"Okay." Chen Hanyun couldn't wait for this, she also wanted to know what was going on with Zeng Chuxi today.
"I wondered, do you like me?"
"Huh?" Chen Hanyun didn't react at once.
"I said, do you like me? They said, "You like me?" β
"Yes, I don't go around in circles with you, I've been by your side for so many years, just to guard you, but I originally wanted to wait another year before I could marry you." Chen Hanyun still looks arbitrary.
Zeng Chuxi was surprised, "Get married?" β
"Any questions?" Chen Hanyun said very naturally, "I love you so much that I will even stop you from being with Cen Diya at any cost." β
"No, you're not love, you're possessive," Zeng Chuxi was almost carried away by anger, but he couldn't be as knowledgeable as her, he just wanted to have a good chat with her this time, and explore and dig out what she really thought about herself.
"You're not even possessive, it's just a vague character. Since I met you, you have been very mature, maybe not like you are only three years older than me, maybe five or six years old, but you are still very beautiful, outstanding in appearance, and the business ability of the agent is also outstanding, everyone envies me for having a very good agent, I am very grateful to you, really. β
Although Zeng Chuxi paused here, Chen Hanyun, who originally wanted to interject, still didn't have time, Zeng Chuxi continued, and never stopped until Chen Hanyun's heart was reached, he wanted to finish speaking.
"It was you who made me successful in this dire circle, and it was you who made me do Zeng Chuxi all the time, and I think I did a good job. Although there are many people who say that I am naΓ―ve, the person who knows me best for so many years is you, you know, you really don't love me, you can't marry me, you just suffered a great psychological blow because your parents died and you have a brother who is ten years apart. β
"You have to provide for Haoyun to go to school, for your own food, shelter and clothing, you have too much responsibility, you will unconsciously learn from your mother's example to coax the child, to coax your brother, you must know that it is difficult for the younger brother who is ten years younger than you not to be naughty, although he later became sensible and grew up."
"But before he grew up, you met me again, and at that time you instantly had another brother, because I was in a young and rebellious period at the time, so you had to sum up your experience when you treated Hao Yun to treat me, and I was different from Hao Yun, so you will feel that this feeling is love, but at the same time you feel that it is strange, so you have not confessed to me for so many years, no, you even think that the relationship between me and you is well known, and each other is affectionate, but you must know, In the final analysis, the person you love is not Zeng Chuxi, but a younger brother named Zeng Chuxi. β
"Sister Hanyun, you and I are just relatives. So, don't be like a fool anymore, silently wishful thinking in love with me. β
Zeng Chuxi spent a long time talking, and finally talked until the sunset.
Chen Hanyun has been listening quietly, she seems to be crying, but she doesn't seem to be crying, her hard shell seems to have been destroyed by life.
Zeng Chuxi didn't say anything more, but started the car and drove on the way back, maybe when Chen Hanyun figured it out, she would tell him herself, whether she was like a fool or not.
