"Brother Xu, the company suddenly asked my sister to have a meal just now. My sister was chatting with Sister Zeng and asked me to tell you that she might not be able to go back for lunch at noon."
"Ah? Didn't you agree just now?"
"Yes, it was the call that Sister Zeng received when I was on the phone with you."
"That's... well, I see. Then I won't wait for her."
"OK, all right."
Retracting the phone, Xu Xin scratched his chin.
Although he was temporarily released by his girlfriend, he was not angry at all, he just felt that... his girlfriend seemed very busy.
In the future, I won't be a waste who eats and waits to die, right?
Eat yours, spend yours, and let you have babies...
Oops, thinking about it, I feel that you may have committed some crime in your previous life, and you owed a creditor like me.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing twice.
As for the others, he really had no idea.
Before the two of them were boyfriend and girlfriend, I especially remember that in the chat after listening to the cross talk in Dashilan, Xu Xin heard her say that she wanted to be a "star".
Although it can't be said that he can compare his heart with his heart, he asked himself, if it's a whim, it's okay, but if it's a certain thing that he has been firm and serious since he was a child, then no matter who the other party is, whether it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, or parents, he can rely on it. If you want to easily change yourself with just a few words, it is basically impossible.
He is like this, so is Yang Mi's temperament.
That was her dream, and now she is implementing it down-to-earth.
So Xu Xin didn't plan to hold her back, and would make dramas like "You can't accompany me" or "I just want you by my side now".
Too vulgar.
is too stupid.
Not necessary.
Maybe it's because of the dream that I can't remember the details clearly?
He always feels that what he is pursuing now is something more spiritual.
And especially enjoy the kind of **** that the other party haunts me and misses me like crazy after not seeing him for many days.
That kind of full-body devotion, and that feeling that burst out from the fit of the soul...Compared with it, pure indulgence is not even a fart.
So, every day his girlfriend leaves, his thoughts become purer.
He believed, and so did the other party.
I recently read a book by Immanuel Kant. There is a sentence in the book that he thinks is particularly good. It is called: the so-called freedom is not following one’s inclinations, but self-mastery.
He likes this sentence very much, and thinks it is a more straightforward interpretation of Confucianism's "three reflections on oneself".
So...you still need to read more.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, planning to cook some noodles by himself.
My girlfriend is not here, so the two Wagyu steaks I specially ordered from the western restaurant are definitely out of reach.
Although he can fry, he is completely confused about the so-called three-ripe and five-ripe.
The original plan today was for my girlfriend to come back, fry a steak, and then use it in the refrigerator. After several verifications, it is indeed the fried sauce made by my girlfriend, cook two bowls of noodles with fried sauce, and have a lunch that is neither Chinese nor Western. of.
The carbon water tube is full, and the beef provides the energy needed for ramming in the afternoon.
Although Xu Xin received a fork and knife from his girlfriend’s online shopping one day, he felt that eating Western food at home should pay attention to the sense of ritual. At first glance, it looks very fashionable, but in fact it is very rustic...
Steak is fried and placed on the chopping board to wake up. After waking up, cut it into strips with a knife. Isn’t it just right? Why take off your pants and fart like that...
But since he won't come back at noon, he can cook some noodles by himself.
Regardless of what Xu Xin does for cooking, he is the number one trash.
But he can actually cook noodles.
Whether the noodles are cooked or not, just jump up and throw one on the wall.
Those that can be stained are cooked.
This is what his girlfriend told him.
…
After working on the script for a while in front of the computer, it was noon.
People are also hungry.
He walked to the kitchen, put the phone aside, boiled water, cooked noodles, and made vegetables along the way.
Cut a cucumber into shreds of different thicknesses, and blanch it in a noodle soup pot after getting some bean sprouts. The soup cooked by this thing is very refreshing. It is said that the poor in Yanjing used to call it "vegetarian broth", and the mixed fried sauce tastes very good.
Dice the ham sausage, beat it with the eggs, pour oil into the pan, and then pour it in. After frying, add a little water, five-spice powder, and a little bit of soy sauce.
The scrambled eggs are as smooth and tender as tofu.
Xu Xin was unconsciously speechless while busy with work.
Although he doesn't know how to cook yet, when he is doing this, it seems that his girlfriend's nagging is right in his ears.
Everything that should be paid attention to has not been missed.
"Tsk."
He was a little emotional.
How much has this been changed? Unknowingly, even cooking?
The scrambled eggs, the noodles...
Tsk tsk, that looks delicious.
With the confidence of a novice, after a large bowl of noodles was cooked, he did not go to the restaurant with the noodle bowl and the plate of scrambled eggs as tender as tofu. Just like this, I set up a small dining table in the kitchen, which was originally used for temporary food preparation, took a small Maza, sat at the door of the kitchen, and planned to eat.
But at this moment, suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening.
"...?"
The reaction was delayed by half a beat before shouting:
"Who is it?"
"Elder Tang, hehehehe~"
Yang Mi, who was holding a big box with Sun Ting, put down the box temporarily after hearing this, and walked towards the kitchen door following the sound.
While walking, there was a strange movement in his mouth.
Walking to the door of the kitchen, I saw my boyfriend sitting at the small table who was about to eat.
The longing that she hadn't seen for many days made the smile on her face brighter...but the smile froze immediately after seeing what her boyfriend ate.
A bowl of pitiful vermicelli, with cucumbers of various sizes and thicknesses floating on it... strips. Then there are bean sprouts that are all pointed.
Beside the noodle bowl, there is a plate of scrambled eggs...
The most exaggerated thing is that she cooked the jar of fried sauce specially with lard mixed with rapeseed oil, and the solidification of the white lard in the jar showed that he didn't even dig it out and heat it up, and he planned to mix it with noodles directly have eaten…
This is so boring! That lard is too much to eat.
Isn’t it uncomfortable to eat such a cold sauce?
All of a sudden, her face turned a little strange.
While Xu Xin was still wondering why she came back suddenly, she didn't say she wouldn't come back this morning, she saw the girl's face drooping.
seems to be angry.
"…what happened?"
He subconsciously stood up.
"Who messed with you?"
"without…"
The girl shook her head first, and then there was... an indescribable anger:
"What are you eating...I don't come back to eat with you, how can you be so foolish! You...you go out to eat! Why are you so wronged! Our family is not out of money...what are you doing!"
"Well…"
be honest.
Xu Xin was a little confused.
Yes, today's meal is a bit messed up.
As long as he is too lazy to go out to eat, he just wants to eat something simple and pull it down.
And... when the two of them were together, they often ate like this. At that time, my girlfriend was not very good at cooking, so I added fried chili at most and it was over.
Although the meal was simple, both of them were quite happy.
I don’t think it’s so confusing...
Besides... Even if Fan is a little fooled, he shouldn't be angry, right?
Not so much.
what happened?
"This meal...isn't it good, you often cook it for me."
"That can't be fooled like this! What are you eating! You can't do it yourself! I... I came back to give you a surprise, what are you doing!"
"Well…"
Subconsciously, Xu Xin looked at Sun Ting.
After all, she was the one who falsely preached the imperial decree in the morning, saying that her girlfriend would not come back at noon today.
Seeing his blaming eyes, Sun Ting shook her head quickly:
"Brother, sister changed her mind temporarily, it has nothing to do with me..."
"..."
Xu Xin was speechless, before Yang Mi pushed him away:
"stand up!"
Pushed him aside, and the girl who didn't even enter the door when she came back showed her arms and rolled up her sleeves, and walked straight into the kitchen.
Then a voice came from inside:
"Tingting, you can go and pick me up at night."
"...Okay, sister."
After finishing speaking, Sun Ting quickly nodded to Xu Xin:
"I'm leaving, Brother Xu."
Then left in despair.
"..."
As soon as she left, Xu Xin, who was standing at the door, took a look at the noodle bowl on his small dining table... He said so desperately:
"Then what should I do with this bowl of noodles..."
But what greeted him was the dangerous gaze of his girlfriend holding a kitchen knife.
Xu Xin shrank his neck.
Mom, after all, it is the person who wants to come to the aunt.
Can't afford to be provoked.
"I'm going to get some clothes."
slipped away.
…
"White is white, black is black, color is first soaked in a pot of gray..."
Muttering the laundry instructions given by his girlfriend, he looked at the few clothes in the suitcase, ignored the cosmetics that almost occupied half of the suitcase, and sorted them into different categories.
Then I saw a plastic bag.
Plastic bags are full of underwear.
Xu Xin took a look... Good guy.
It depends on what kind of virtue you want to be...
Skimming it into the drum, he opened another box, only to see several gift boxes.
lost interest.
At this time, there was a sizzling sound from the kitchen, and he walked over after hearing the sound.
When I entered, there was an extra silhouette of an apron on the back of the clothes that I hadn't had time to change.
The tied ponytail revealed the back of her snow-white neck, which made Xu Xin salivate a little.
Walked over unconsciously, and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's fragrant body.
But his girlfriend made an inexplicable effort and broke free.
"...?"
Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, seeing her staring at the frying pan without looking back, and asked:
"what happened again?"
"Don't talk to me. I'm mad at you!"
Yang Mi said without looking back.
"Why?"
Xu Xin was a little puzzled:
"What did I do to make you angry?"
The response I got was only two "bang bang"...
After the garlic cloves with their skins were crushed, she casually threw them into the frying pan.
"...what the **** happened?"
Xu Xin really doesn't understand.
Then I heard a "poof" sound in the frying pan.
It should be that there is water on the steak, or garlic... After encountering oil, it thumped.
"Oops~"
The girl subconsciously covered her eyes.
Xu Xin quickly pulled her over:
"Are you okay, are you okay? Come on, let's flush..."
Yang Mi came to the pool in the direction he pointed, and the rushing water began to rush up her eyes.
Xu Xin looked worried, until the girl opened her red eyes, and then asked with concern:
"Are you okay? Got it in your eyes? Let me see..."
"..."
The red eyes that were originally red became even redder after hearing this.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Woooooooooooo..."
Plunging headfirst into her boyfriend's arms, she burst into tears in an instant.
"Hey you..."
Xu Xin was completely speechless.
What is this for?
"What's the matter with you? Talk!"
Gently patting his girlfriend's back, Xu Xin's voice became more anxious and irritable.
Yang Mi didn't speak, but kept crying.
Xu Xin could only comfort her.
Then weeping and crying... The girl suddenly left his arms again, took the rack and turned the steak in the pan over, then returned to his arms and continued to cry...
"...?????"
Xu Xin was dumbfounded.
What time is it, do you still remember to flip the steak?
no…
"What are you going to do?"
He wanted to push his girlfriend away to see her expression.
But Yang Mi hugged him tightly, not letting him struggle.
Xu Xin tried to untie it, but after holding it up with his arms several times, he couldn't do it, and said helplessly:
"...I feel that I didn't take good care of you, and I feel bad."
"Well…"
Xu Xin was taken aback.
Then, the girl who seemed to have been opened up continued to say:
"Today...I had an appointment with you...then...people from the company wanted to have dinner with me...I agreed at first...then...then...嗤嗤~"
After taking two sniffs, she continued:
"I called Uncle Xu for a chat, and I felt... Chi Chi... the company's affairs... it's not important to you... I got off the plane... I pushed it until the evening... Then I wanted to give you a surprise... But when I came back, I looked at you... eat boiled water The following noodles...you don't know how to cook...you can be fooled by the food...you don't know how hot the sauce is...what are you doing...why are you so wronged when you are with me...chi chi...I feel bad...I promised Uncle Xu will take good care of you...you go out to eat...why do you eat noodles under boiled water...sorry...brother...sorry..."
"Well…"
Finally figured out where his girlfriend's sudden breakdown came from, Xu Xin opened his mouth...
Slowly hugged his girlfriend:
"I did it on purpose. Sun Ting told me that you changed the appointment. I just wanted to pretend to be pitiful and let you love me more for a while... I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"Liar!"
Hiding in her boyfriend's arms, she exposed this clumsy lie without hesitation. The girl shook her head:
"It's my fault...it shouldn't be said to be eaten at home. Sorry..."
"It's okay, there are actually sea cucumbers in my bowl, just below. You just didn't see it..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly let go of him, took the steak out of the frying pan, put it on the cutting board, covered the cutting board with the pot lid, and returned to his arms...
"I... rely on..."
Xu Xin was stupid.
When you are so affectionate, do you still think about steak?
After hearing this sound, Yang Mi who was in her boyfriend's arms raised her head.
Looking at his speechless appearance, he burst out laughing:
"Hey...Where's the Kobe beef steak. It's not delicious when it's fried~"
"..."
You have a big heart.
Xu Xin was speechless...then couldn't help but kissed her.
Then…
When the distraught girl instinctively wrapped her legs around her boyfriend's waist, she noticed the movement towards the kitchen door and said quickly:
"Hey, don't, eat first! I have to go down!"
"No, I can't help it, I'll eat you first!"
Xu Xin's eyeballs were also red.
On her...
Why is it so fragrant?
But just after she finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly fell down, and Xu Xin froze immediately.
His leg was hooped by the girl's leg with one leg in a... unintelligible movement.
"I said, eat first!"
Hooking her boyfriend's neck, the girl said seriously:
"Don't want to make you hungry..."
"No, eat you first!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Xin's face was more serious than serious.
"Let go of me, hurry up, don't blot!"
"Well…"
Hearing this, the girl was stunned, and tried to redeem:
"How do you eat the steak when it's cold?"
"in spite of!"
"...hehe~"
She jumped again, and good core strength allowed her to climb up again.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat whatever my brother says to eat first, okay~... Hey, have you taken a bath yet?"
"washed."
"I haven't washed yet... wash with me?"
"Moo~~~"
"Goose Goose Goose Goose~~~"
…
"I guess it's still about my aunt."
Before the dinner table, Yang Mi held up her chopsticks, picked up a strip of beef that was clearly aged, and wiped her nose with paper.
Today's chili is a bit spicy.
"I just broke down emotionally just now, but suddenly, I saw you pitifully standing on the small table at the door of the kitchen, like a left-behind child. I couldn't stand it all of a sudden, and felt sorry for you. Together, you are so foolish about eating..."
"However, the tension is quite good, that kind of emotional expression from surprise to shock, and then naturally... that kind of complex emotions mixed with anger and sadness are very impactful."
"..."
The girl looked at the mouth that came out with inhuman words, and was speechless:
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm acting!?... Do you think I'm joking with you! I love you so much! I cried when I saw you eating boiled noodles! You still think I'm acting!?"
"No no no no..."
Xu Xin quickly shook his head:
"I'm not I didn't stop talking nonsense. I didn't think you were acting..."
"Then why are you judging my acting!?"
"...is it really acting?"
"Of course not, that's my true feelings... Ah!! Xu Sanjin! You really think I'm acting!! I'm crying, but you still think I'm acting!!"
"I really don't have..."
"Then why are you judging my acting skills!"
"...Look, you said yourself that you used acting skills..."
"...I'm not acting! I'm showing my true feelings!"
"I know."
"Then why are you judging my acting skills!?"
"...No, is it acting? I didn't mention your acting skills, I just said that you are in a good mood..."
"That's not acting! That's showing the truth!!"
"I know…"
Xu Xin, who was sitting at the dining table with a miserable face, sighed pitifully in his heart.
Why? This is it.
What happened?
It's been a year and a half since we've been dating, why didn't I find out before that when my girlfriend's aunt came, she seemed so messy?
He was a little helpless.
So, just to be on the safe side, he honestly lowered his head and ate in a low-key manner.
Until I heard a sentence:
"My company may ask me to renew my contract."
"...?"
Xu Xin raised his head instantly, and looked at his girlfriend in surprise:
"Where did you get the news?"
"Guess."
Yang Mi shrugged and repeated why she released her boyfriend this morning.
Including the phone call with Xu Daqiang.
Hearing this, Xu Xin's eyes were very strange:
"When did you have such a good relationship with my dad..."
"Because Comrade Daqiang is very attractive~"
Yang Mi smiled and made a joke:
"And also entrusted me to take good care of Xu Xin's child. Auntie must contact the parents more."
Facing her joke, Xu Xin subconsciously said:
"It's changed again? ... What is it this time?"
"Virgin Series."
"...It's getting more and more abnormal. I said that two days ago, you used your computer to watch things so slow... Your hard drive is almost full, right?"
"Oh, brother smelly, what nonsense!"
Yang Mi is a little dissatisfied, I am like some kind of womanizer.
"Seriously, what do you think?"
"Well…"
Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"My father and I have the same opinion. In our business, the division of labor is actually very clear. Usually, there are one big and two small in a mine. The big mine manager is the leader of the well-deserved leader, and the division of labor between the two deputy mine managers is also different. Next, the division of responsibilities between the two sides is very clear. Each does their own work well, and finally the big mine manager kneads the mine and the mine together.
The mine manager on the mine will never interfere with the underground affairs. Because it's crossing the line. In mines, safe production is more important than anything else...even, safety is more important than production. If you want to make money, you must implement this set of standards. As for the kind of mine my dad mentioned, there are several mine managers, most of which are small coal mines. For example, the boss's brothers and sisters, the boss's brother-in-law, the boss's second uncle... As long as such relatives enter the mine, bad things will definitely happen.
Because everyone knows that coal mines make money, and because of their natural location advantages, their relatives will earn more recklessly, understand? even conflict with each other. You have a relationship, and I have a relationship, and no one is afraid of anyone. In order to maintain the stability of all parties, the boss can only close his eyes and pretend not to see. And this kind of small coal mine usually has the most accidents and thunderstorms, and it is famous for taking lives to make money... But if you move the "Red Mansion" incident to the mine, it is actually the same reason.
So, my dad and I have the same opinion, don’t talk about eating meat, just don’t even drink soup, and you’ll be safe sooner. My dad is right, if your company is really strong, you can eat this piece of meat yourself. But now I have to compromise with others... A director doesn't even have the right to choose a role, so what's the point?
In addition, this matter itself is a mess, isn’t there a thunderstorm in front of it, and now your company has taken over, and it deserves to be done well. And if you don't do it well, you will be found on your heads along with the abuse that had nothing to do with you before. No matter how you look at it, it's a thankless thing, so... I really don't recommend you to get involved. I don't even recommend you to renew your contract... Anyway, I'm here, and you still worry about not making a movie? right. "
"..."
After listening to what her boyfriend said, Yang Mi thought about it thoughtfully, and asked:
"Then tell me, if the people from the company come to me for dinner tonight and propose to renew the contract, what should I say?"
"…say what?"
"Reject... I mainly feel that if I don't continue, it's clear that I'm leaving. I always feel a little embarrassed..."
"Why? Are you afraid that the company will hide you?"
"I'm not afraid of that."
Yang Mi shook her head:
"No one has trouble with money, right? What's more... when I was popular now, the company hid me just because I didn't renew my contract. Who would dare to come here after that? It's not a contract of sale. So it's impossible... I I just feel a little embarrassed to tell the company so bluntly... Oh, you eat."
Give up the last piece of steak to her boyfriend, the girl who was clearly talking about business one second, becomes crisp and boneless in the next sentence:
"eat more."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes, put the last piece of steak in his mouth, and heard Yang Mi ask:
"Is today the last day?"
"Um."
"How much?"
"188 million... I don't know if it can reach 1.9."
The two were talking about the box office of "The Unspeakable Secret".
In a blink of an eye, the 38-day screening time has reached the last day.
This movie, which is of great significance to Xu Xin, is finally coming to an end at the end of the first week of school.
The box office of 188 million is exciting enough.
From the beginning of the year to the present, domestic films are well-deserved NO.1.
It is also the fifth domestic film with a box office of over 100 million this year.
In front of them are "Transformers", "Spider-Man 3", "Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix", and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
belongs to the only seedling among the only seedlings.
And. The box office myth of 188 million is already a rare hit in domestic films in recent years.
Not to mention the return on investment ratio.
Outside, there are already a group of investors waving banknotes and scripts, looking for him, hoping that the newly promoted Mr. Billionaire can make another glory...but they were all blocked by Xiying Studio.
What kind of international joke... Xiying Studio wanted to find Director Xu to make a movie until after 2008.
So, the ups and downs of the outside world really didn't disturb Xu Xin for the time being.
Let his life still be peaceful and abnormal.
There is no change due to the disturbance from the outside world.
Even if it wasn’t because he promised his girlfriend to visit the new classmates, he might still stay in Shenmu.
The holidays for the past few days were obtained through more than a month of busy work.
And it could be said that the two have a good understanding, suddenly, Yang Mi said:
"Hey, I heard that there are many good-looking girls this year."
"…in school?"
Xu Xin raised his head curiously.
"right."
Yang Mi responded:
"It is said that it is particularly good-looking. During the military training, there were many people watching. It is said that a girl was named the school belle."
"Well, when shall we go there tomorrow?"
"Morning. Just follow the one you gave me last time. I'm dressed up beautifully... school beauty? Humph."
The girl's face showed a desire to win:
"I want to see how beautiful it is!"
"The one I matched with you last time?"
Xu Xin was startled...
Immediately, his eyes suddenly became strange:
"Is that going to buy you another Frisbee?"
"I don't walk the dog, why do I need that thing?"
Yang Mi was confused for a while.
Xu Xin was also a little speechless.
Although he didn't know why these things popped up in his mind.
But he still said:
"That outfit... is a little too eye-catching."
"This effect is what I want! Heh heh~ Men, you can see it but you can't touch it, and you will remember it the most! After all, I will be your classmate in the future, so I don't have to suppress the situation? To save you, there will be no nonsense in the future. I'm going to tell them: Do you want to miss my boyfriend? Let's think about whether you are pretty enough before you talk about it!"
Frankly speaking, Xu Xin felt a sense of accomplishment after hearing these words.
After all, the girlfriend is so "protective of the calf".
but…
"Aren't we private? Even if you come with me, people don't know."
"Stupid you, we are both in our junior year. Everyone is running the film crew. I am a popular star. I don't go to filming to receive announcements, but I play basketball with you in school? Men may not think so much, after all, I am beautiful. .But there are so many girls playing, really. I will stand by your side, even if I don't admit it, they will think that we have a story. That's enough! Hehe..."
"I still want to play basketball!?"
Xu Xin was a little sluggish.
"Yes, you are so handsome playing basketball, why don't you show your skills?"
Looking at the girlfriend with a look of reason.
Xu Xin thought for a while, then nodded:
"This... well, I'll go buy some overalls later."
"...???"
