Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1134 'Maturity'

Xiao Youran said to Yang Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful today!"

Yang Xiaoxiao felt a little shy when she heard that.

She pretended to be angry and said, "You Ran, you are going to die. You are teasing me again!"

Xiao Youran and Yang Xiaoxiao often joked and bickered with each other when they were in high school.

She naturally thought that Xiao Youran was teasing her again.

Xiao Youran shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding you..."

There was a pause.

"If you don't believe it, you can listen to Xiao Xu's opinion."

Xiao Youran turned around and asked Xu Xiuwen: "Xiao Xu, what do you think of Xiaoxiao today?"

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to say that she was more beautiful than Xiao Youran, but she still showed an expectant look.

Xu Xiuwen looked Yang Xiaoxiao up and down and said seriously, "She is very beautiful and eye-catching."

Even though I know that Xu Xiuwen might be saying that for the sake of Xiao Youran and his old classmates, his words were not 100% sincere.

Yang Xiaoxiao was still very happy.

After all, what girl doesn’t like to be complimented?

At this time, Xiao Youran asked: "Xiao Xu, tell me what's beautiful about Xiaoxiao?"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

Yang Xiaoxiao also listened attentively.

Facing the two women's gazes, Xu Xiuwen said seriously: "Xiaoxiao's facial features are already very beautiful, and now with a little light makeup, she will look even better. But if you ask me where she is beautiful, it's really hard for me to say for the moment..."

There was a pause.

Xu Xiuwen continued: "If I have to say, I think Xiaoxiao's eyes and mouth are the prettiest."

"Eye?"

"mouth?"

Both women were stunned for a moment.

They didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to give such an answer.

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao's pupils are bright and lively, and she has double eyelids... As for her mouth, I think her lips are very beautiful."

When Yang Xiaoxiao heard Xu Xiuwen's words, she didn't feel that he was perfunctory. Instead, she was secretly happy because of his serious tone.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Youran looked at Yang Xiaoxiao carefully, nodded in agreement and said, "Well, what Xiao Xu said makes sense. Xiaoxiao, your eyes and mouth are indeed very beautiful."

Yang Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed slightly, "Okay, both of you stop making fun of me."

Xiao Youran shook his head and said, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxu and I really think so, we are not joking."

Yang Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, then ask him, who has prettier eyes and mouth between us?"

Xiao Youran said, "Xiaoxiao, how should Xiao Xu answer this?"

Although she said this, the girl was very curious about Xu Xiuwen's thoughts.

One is my girlfriend and the other is just a high school classmate.

Xu Xiuwen is not stupid.

He knew exactly how to answer.

Xu Xiuwen did not say any polite words in a 'smooth' way.

He answered without any hesitation: "Youran's eyes are definitely more beautiful. In my eyes, Youran is perfect. No one can compare to her."

He really didn't say this to please Xiao Youran.

Yang Xiaoxiao’s eyes and mouth are certainly beautiful, but they are still not as good as Xiao Youran’s.

"Eh... so corny..."

Yang Xiaoxiao made a sound of disgust.

There was a faint smile in the girl's eyes, and she was obviously not angry because of his answer.

She is self-aware.

Xiao Youran pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of joy and tenderness.

She took the initiative to change the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Xiaoxiao, are you in a relationship now?"

Yang Xiaoxiao was stunned and shook her head: "I would like to, but no one will talk to me."

Xiao Youran was surprised and asked, "How could it be? Xiaoxiao, you are so beautiful, how come no one wants to date you?"

Yang Xiaoxiao sighed, "I don't know then."

Xu Xiuwen revealed the truth in one sentence.

"I'm afraid there are a lot of boys who like her, but she doesn't like them all."

Xiao Youran rolled her eyes at Xu Xiuwen.

She was a little worried that Yang Xiaoxiao would be angry if she said that.

However, the latter was not angry, but nodded in agreement.

"You're right. There are indeed many people who like me, but I don't like any of them."

Xiao Youran asked curiously: "Xiaoxiao, what kind of boys do you like?"

Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Xiuwen and said, "At least he should be half as good as Xu Xiuwen, right?"

Her words were both an answer and an acknowledgement of Xu Xiuwen.

If it were a sensitive girl, her alarm bells might immediately go off and she might suspect that her best friend had feelings for her boyfriend.

Xiao Youran didn't have such worries.

First, she and Yang Xiaoxiao had a good relationship and could talk about anything in high school. She didn't think Yang Xiaoxiao would like the boy she liked.

The second reason is that Yang Xiaoxiao always disliked Xu Xiuwen when she was in high school.

Xiao Youran smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, Xiaoxiao is praising you."

Xu Xiuwen hummed, and then said: "I know I am very good, but I have a girlfriend, so please don't like me."

Yang Xiaoxiao: “…”

Xiao Youran: "..."

Yang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so self-indulgent. No matter who I like, I won't like a man as slow to react as you."

Xu Xiuwen asked: "Why am I so slow to react?"

Yang Xiaoxiao said, "When we were in high school, You Ran almost only talked to you and you alone, and you couldn't tell that she liked you. If you're not insensitive, what are you?"

Xu Xiuwen: “…”

Yang Xiaoxiao was right. In his previous life, he was indeed rather slow.

Logically, he should have seen it earlier.

But in the end he believed the instigation of others and thought that Xiao Youran really changed his heart after going to college.

He had difficulty in defending himself.

Noticing Xu Xiuwen's expression, Yang Xiaoxiao thought that her words had hit him hard.

She had some regrets.

But I can't take back what I said.

Yang Xiaoxiao continued: "Although I am a little slow in emotions, fortunately I am not stupid. I can write novels, make TV series, and start a company. It is amazing that I can do this at this age."

Xu Xiuwen said perfunctorily: "Thank you."

Xiao Youran smiled secretly.

……

Soon, the movie will begin.

After checking their tickets, the three of them entered the theater together.

Because it was afternoon, there were only three of them in the entire theater, almost like they had reserved the theater for themselves.

The three of them chose to sit in the middle row.

Xiao Youran sat in the middle, Xu Xiuwen and Yang Xiaoxiao sat on both sides respectively.

Xu Xiuwen bought two buckets of popcorn in total.

His original intention was to let Yang Xiaoxiao eat one bucket alone, while he and Xiao Youran would eat another bucket.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youran chose to eat from the same bucket with Yang Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiuwen was eating popcorn while waiting for the movie to start.

He was thinking about the movie.

Bai Yueer's latest drama "Coffee Prince" has already broken this year's ratings record. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely win various awards.

Generally speaking, it is rare for a TV actor to have one or two hit or classic TV series.

It is extremely rare for someone like Bai Yue'er to have every drama starred by a hit.

But precisely because of this, Xu Xiuwen had to consider arranging a transformation for Bai Yueer.

Although he is there and the company is there, Bai Yue'er is not afraid of not having TV series to shoot in the future.

But no one can guarantee that the ratings of each subsequent drama will continue to rise, and that the popularity will be the same as before or now.

Once the ratings of the new drama do not meet expectations.

Bai Yue'er will be the first to bear the brunt of the blame.

There is never a shortage of people in this world who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

There are many people outside who envy and hate Bai Yue'er.

and.

Bai Yue'er appears on TV too frequently, which can easily cause aesthetic fatigue among the audience.

There's something more important.

It is the continuous popularity that brought Bai Yueer fame and fans.

But these fans also caused her a lot of trouble.

According to what I heard from Bai Yueer's agent, there have been fanatical fans following her to various tour venues and harassing her.

There is a reason why too much is as bad as too little.

That's why Xu Xiuwen started to consider letting Bai Yue'er make a movie.

The vast majority of actors, if given a choice, would probably prefer to make movies rather than TV series.

Not only is it because the public has a higher recognition of movie actors and their status is higher, but it is also because filming a movie is more challenging and difficult.

Actors themselves would also want to challenge more difficult films.

This is also why many TV actors will switch to acting in movies when their popularity is at its peak.

Bai Yue'er is now in the limelight.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next drama will also be a big hit, and it will be the talk of the town by then.

Many people think that asking her to quit at this time and turn to the film industry is impulsive and irrational.

But Xu Xiuwen thought it was very suitable.

Of course.

Xu Xiuwen also had some selfish motives.

After all, it is well known that making movies is more profitable than making TV series.

The company had received many movie invitations for Bai Yueer before.

However, Xu Xiuwen was rejected by the company's people.

Although he likes to make money, he doesn't want Bai Yue'er to make those crappy movies.

He still has a lot of film and television works in his mind.

There are many blockbuster movies among them.

Any one of them is much better than letting Bai Yue'er make those crappy movies.

Xu Xiuwen has always been the one who has the final say in the company.

However, making a movie is a big deal and must be discussed internally.

And you have to ask Bai Yue'er for her opinion.

Bai Yue'er currently has so many schedules that she doesn't even have time to rest. She also hasn't finished filming a TV series, so she's not in a hurry for the time being.

Soon the movie started.

Xu Xiuwen began to watch movies seriously.

In a blink of an eye, the movie ended.

After coming out of the cinema, Xiao Youran and Yang Xiaoxiao held each other's arms and gathered together to share their thoughts on the movie.

Xu Xiuwen followed behind the two of them.

Coincidentally.

Xiao Youran and Yang Xiaoxiao were wearing white and black today, which reminded him of the Black and White Impermanence.

Xu Xiuwen burst out laughing.

The two women immediately stopped talking and turned to look over.

"Xiao Xu, why are you laughing?"

Xu Xiuwen waved his hand and said, "No, I just thought of something funny."

Xiao Youran nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xiao and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We want to go shopping..."

"sure."

Yang Xiaoxiao interjected: "If you find it annoying, you don't have to accompany us."

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "I have nothing to do now anyway, so I can go shopping with you. Besides, if I'm not here, who will pay for you?"

Xiao Youran naturally didn't want Xu Xiuwen to leave. She felt happy and glad to hear his words.

Yang Xiaoxiao said modestly: "I don't need you to pay for me."

Xu Xiuwen said: "Okay, then you pay for it yourself, and I will only pay for Youran."

Yang Xiaoxiao: “…”

There was nothing wrong with this, and she was the one who said he didn't have to pay.

But why does it make people feel uncomfortable?

Afterwards, Xu Xiuwen continued to go shopping with the two girls.

It was half past four.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Do you guys still want to go shopping?"

Xiao Youran asked, "Xiao Xu, are you going to buy groceries?"

Xu Xiuwen nodded.

Yang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Buying vegetables, what do you mean?"

Xu Xiuwen did not explain to her, but said to Xiao Youran: "My mother is still at home. I have to buy the vegetables and go back to cook for her."

Xiao Youran said: "It's really getting late, we have to go back."

She was about to tell Yang Xiaoxiao when Xu Xiuwen's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."

After the call is connected.

"Hey, where are you now?"

It was Ning Wanqiu's voice.

"Mom, I'm out shopping with Youran."

Ning Wanqiu hummed.

"I'm going to buy some groceries now and I'll be back home after I'm done."

Ning Wanqiu said: "You don't have to come back, I'm going out tonight."

"Are you going out?"

"Ah."

"okay, I get it."

Ning Wanqiu wanted to remind him not to go to see Sister Gu at night and to go home early, but she didn't say it in the end.

Anyway, even if I tell him, he may not listen.

hang up the phone.

Xiao Youran asked: "Xiao Xu, Aunt Ning's phone number?"

Xu Xiuwen nodded.

"Aunt Ning asked you to go back quickly?"

"No, she went out at night."

Xiao Youran's eyes lit up, "Then you don't have to go back."

"Ah."

Xiao Youran said: "Then let's eat outside with Xiaoxiao."

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Xiao Youran immediately looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, don't go home for dinner tonight. Let's eat out together."

Yang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Xu Xiuwen continued shopping with the two girls.

They strolled around until a little after 5 o'clock, then the three of them went to find a restaurant to eat.

Xu Xiuwen drove the two girls to a restaurant near the school.

They had eaten here before.

Revisiting old places.

The boss recognized Xiao Youran as soon as he entered the door.

no way.

The appearance is so outstanding!

After entering the box and sitting down, Xu Xiuwen began to order food.

After ordering the dishes, Xiao Youran suddenly said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

After she left, only Xu Xiuwen and Yang Xiaoxiao were left in the box.

Maybe it felt like the atmosphere was too silent.

Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to say: "It's a bit hot, I'll turn down the air conditioner."

He stood up and looked around for the air conditioner remote.

Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked: "Do you hate me very much?"

Xu Xiuwen stopped and looked over in confusion.

"Why do you think so?"

"Aren't you looking for the remote because you feel embarrassed?"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

She saw it.

Xu Xiuwen denied it, "It's really a bit hot, aren't you hot?"

"not hot!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

"You think too much. I don't hate you, and I don't feel embarrassed."

"Do not believe."

Xu Xiuwen smiled bitterly, "We have no grudge against each other, why should I hate you?"

"I used to say bad things about you in front of You Ran, weren't you angry?"

Xu Xiuwen said: "Actually, what you said before was quite right. When I was in high school, I really loved to play too much, otherwise I wouldn't have been admitted to a third-tier university. So you didn't say bad things about me. At other times, you also spoke for Youran..."

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to say such a thing.

She was a little surprised and didn't know what to say.

"Xu Xiuwen, you have really changed a lot..."

Xu Xiuwen smiled, "You're not the first one to say that. Maybe this is maturity."
