So red that everything is black

Chapter 72 Big Red ([-])
In the afternoon, after Wen Xinlan checked in, she lay on the hotel bed and played with her mobile phone.

Pei Yuan sent a message: "Teacher Guifu has arrived in Haicheng?"

Wen Xinlan had obviously not told anyone about her itinerary, so she couldn't help but feel a little wary at the moment, "How did you know?"

Pei Yuan sent a screenshot, "I was in Breeze City and saw a photo of you and netizens."

It turned out that the young couple at noon had posted the photos to Breeze, causing her to mistakenly think that Pei Yuan had installed a location on her, otherwise he would know it wherever he went.

Pei Yuan continued to ask: "Do you have an appointment tonight?"

"No."

"I'll treat you to dinner." Pei Yuan immediately sent a location and restaurant name, "This is a restaurant opened by my friend. It's absolutely safe."

Wen Xinlan was also curious about what news Pei Yuan found out, so she happily went to the appointment.

Tonight is Christmas Eve.

The green pine branches are covered with thousands of colorful lanterns.

Occasionally there is a Santa Claus with a beard and a red hat on the street, leading a group of children to play and distribute candies and gifts.

From time to time, relaxed and cheerful English songs could be heard in her ears, as if she was not in China at the moment, but in a small town in Ouzhou.

After getting off the taxi, Wen Xinlan followed the navigation and walked into a secluded courtyard.

Crossing the deep stone road, a small white building came into view.

The waiter at the door recognized Wen Xinlan at a glance, "Miss Wen, please come this way."

"Thank you."

It was quiet inside and outside the small building. At the end of the corridor on the third floor, the waiter opened the private room door and said, "This way, please."

In the private room, Pei Yuan was already waiting here, "Is it hard to find a place?"

"No, it's pretty easy to find." Wen Xinlan took off her down jacket, and the waiter helped hang it on a hanger and brought the ordering tablet.

Pei Yuan briefly introduced: "This private restaurant has good food, with the taste of Laohai City."

Wen Xinlan first ordered two dishes she liked, and then handed the tablet to Pei Yuan, "Teacher Pei, will you take a look again?"

Pei Yuan made additions based on the menu he had ordered, and said to the waiter: "Order these first."

"Ok sir."

After the waiter closed the door and went out, Wen Xinlan dared to speak: "I was secretly photographed by the waiter twice in a row, and now I'm still scared when I see the waiter."

"You can rest assured that this restaurant is all our own. Let's have a drink first. Rose Green Tea is the signature of this restaurant."

"Thank you. By the way, I'm really sorry about what happened last time and caused you so much trouble."

Pei Yuan interrupted: "No, it's me who should be sorry. It was my fault."

"Ok?"

Pei Yuan lamented, "Last time I sued several self-media bloggers. After investigation, it was found that someone deliberately discredited me. I'm sorry, it was me who caused you to be implicated."

Wen Xinlan frowned, "Someone did it on purpose? Have you found out who it is?"

"No. Maybe it's my sunspot or something."

"The rumors haven't hindered your work, have they?"

"No." Pei Yuan asked again after answering, "What about you? Your career has not been affected, right? I'm more worried about you. After all, your career has just started this year. Don't ruin your future because of me."

"No, I'm fine. None of the current endorsement deals have asked me to terminate their contracts, and Wenyuan Pavilion is fine too."

"Great." Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then can we continue to be friends?"

"Of course, as long as Teacher Pei doesn't dislike you, we will always be friends."

friends forever……

A nice thing to say that doesn't sound like a nice thing to say.

The atmosphere was a little weird. Wen Xinlan lowered her head and took a sip of her drink. "Teacher Pei's hatred...are there many negative fans?"

"It's hard to say much. Anyone who is somewhat famous doesn't have a few bad guys." The waiter knocked on the door and brought out the holiday snacks.

Wen Xinlan looked at the Christmas-shaped cookies and snacks and said with a smile: "This year has passed so fast, and it's Christmas Eve before I know it. I heard someone on the road saying that there will be a fireworks show in Haicheng recently?"

"Yes, this year's New Year's Eve, fireworks will be set off in Jinjiang." Speaking of this topic, Pei Yuan became interested, "After tomorrow's forum is over, do you want to give yourself a few days off to play around? Wait until New Year's Day Will you go back later?"

"Good idea. I really want to take a few days off. It just so happens that my bestie still has a few days of annual leave left, and I want to take it as soon as possible during the end of the year. We are planning where to go!"

It is difficult for Pei Yuan to arrange itineraries for many people, but there is still no problem on New Year's Eve. "I know which restaurant has the best view of the fireworks. Leave it to me to book a table for New Year's Eve!"

Thinking of the awkwardness of spending New Year's Eve alone with Pei Yuan, Wen Xinlan added, "Can I take my best friend with me?"

"Of course, it's more lively when there are more people. Every New Year's Eve, I invite a bunch of friends to get together."

Wen Xinlan smiled again: "I've always been curious, are there any fans of yours among your friends?"

Pei Yuan answered truthfully: "Indeed. Some people become friends after getting along for a long time."

"Are there still female fans? The vicious kind?" Wen Xinlan thought of the waitress, "Are they jealous to get your attention?"

"No." He answered emphatically.

"So sure?"

"I won't be friends with that kind of fan. I think friends are equal and need mutual respect. I don't even want to look at the kind of person who would hurt others just to be with me."

Wen Xinlan touched her chin, "Hey, does it sound like there's a story?"

Pei Yuan did not answer directly, "If you think about it, it has been more than ten years since I debuted, and I have gone through all the ups and downs that I have to go through. The friends around me now have stood the test of time, and I trust them very much."

The waiter knocked on the door and brought the dishes.

Pei Yuan raised his chopsticks: "This grouper is very fresh, try it quickly."

"Okay!"

Over a meal, the two finally talked and finally eased their long-standing awkward relationship.

In the afternoon of the next day, Pei Yuan dressed up and came to Ye Xuesong's house in the same community.

At this moment, Ye Xuesong was still wrapped in plush home clothes and was typing on the sofa.

Pei Yuan stepped forward and took the person out, "Brother, we are going to the forum soon. Why don't you get up and dress up?"

"I don't want to go!" Ye Xuesong covered his head with a pillow, "You are a guy who values ​​sex over friends. If I ask for more tickets from you, you won't be willing to give them to me."

"Didn't I give it to you?" Pei Yuan was half-kneeling in front of the sofa, "Dear little ancestor, you promised to accompany me!"

Invitations are indeed in short supply this year.

Ye Xuesong only asked for one ticket from the editor, but could not help his friend to get a few more tickets.

But seeing that Pei Yuan had transferred an invitation letter, Ye Xuesong casually picked out a pair of jeans from the pile of clothes on the sofa and said, "It's just a forum. It's held every year. Why do you have to go?"

"Yang Su will also go tonight." Pei Yuan was very dissatisfied with his friend's lazy attitude. He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you don't want to dress up?"

Hearing the long-lost name, Ye Xuesong's heart beat abnormally for a few times before returning to calm.

"Nonsense." Ye Xuesong threw away his jeans, threw the pillow on Pei Yuan, and walked up to the bedroom on the second floor to change into a formal suit.

When going downstairs, Pei Yuan was very satisfied with his friend's appearance and pointed to the key rack, "You are so handsome! Remember to take the car keys!"

Ye Xuesong hadn't tied a tie for a long time, and couldn't tie it well with both hands. He lowered his head and said irritably, "Why are you driving my car?"

“Isn’t this because I’m afraid that people will have too many eyes?”

"Who is a blind person?" Ye Xuesong reacted, "You don't want me to be the driver and make a special trip to pick up Guifu, do you?"

"As expected of the roundworm in my stomach, you have guessed everything!"

"I'm dreaming! Why should I be your driver?"

Pei Yuan personally stepped forward to help Ye Xuesong tie the knot, patted his friend's chest and said, "Little ancestor, can I be your free driver ten times in the future?"
