Starlight is not as good as your allure

Chapter 10
His eyes are full of starlight, like a bright and quiet galaxy, making her want to turn into a star and place herself forever.

There are no spotlights in the temporary venue.In the room with the deep black curtain, the light hit the human face miserable, magnifying every flaw on the face.

Ye Qiao looked like a pure narcissus, with a sad face and a calm tone, unable to pick out a single mistake, slowly read the last line of the line.It was an extremely sad confession, written in classical Chinese in the script of "Wu Wang City".Ye Qiao has a rare line skills in the entertainment industry today. Even without post-dubbing, the articulation and emotions are very good, and it is easy to drag people into the ancient and mysterious charm of "Wu Wang City".

At the end of the reading, Ye Qiao gritted her teeth in her heart for a while.

The character she tried, Lin Xuan, was an orphan who experienced ups and downs since she was a child, and became an assassin when she became an adult, so she has a lot of inner drama to express.But the excerpts of the script she got were all erotic passages.

This has nothing to do with the person sitting off the court.

Zhou Ting raised his thumb lightly, and the golden lighter ignited a cluster of flames, lighting up an orange-red light in the depths of his dark eyes.When Ye Qiao's voice faded away, Wang Qingming applauded: "Director Lai's favorite general really lives up to his reputation."

Ye Qiao modestly praised the award, the flames in Zhou Tingshen's hand flickered in his peripheral vision, her smile was slightly stiff, but Zhou Tingshen gave a low smile.Wang Qingming is a veteran of Jianghu, he looked at the eyebrows of these two people in his heart, and said "Where is that?"

Before Ye Qiao walked out of the room, the talented middle-aged man smiled and talked with others in a low voice, comparing her and Pei Xindan's strengths, and asked Zhou Tingshen, "What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Ting dialed Ye Qiao's number with his fingers, and politely said absent-mindedly: "Director Wang is determined." An interface that could not be connected popped up on the screen.

It has been like this for two days, and Zhou Tingshen has some doubts that she dragged him into the blacklist of the address book.

Xu Yinshan, who had been waiting for half a day, came in quickly.She was dissatisfied with Ye Qiao for finishing the audition first, and there was resentment in her eyes before entering the door, but when she stood on the stage and looked up, there was already a bright moon full of smiles.Zhou Ting deeply caught the subtle expression on her face, and smiled. Before Xu Yinshan could start, he made an excuse, greeted the director and the leaders of the film and television company and left.

From arrival to departure, in just 10 minutes, it seemed that they had come here specially to support Ye Qiao.Wang Qingming knew about it, and exchanged a knowing look with his partner.I've seen actresses who brought money into the group, and investors who spend a lot of money, but I haven't seen anyone who has done so well.

In the corridor, Ye Qiao looked out the window, and the vertical banners celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in the commercial building opposite were fluttering in the wind, and all kinds of exquisite mooncake gift boxes were scrolling on the electronic screen.She raised her wrist to look at her watch, and it turned out that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time in previous years, her uncle would send her a message reminding her to go back to her grandmother's house for dinner.Without a mobile phone today, it seems to have disappeared from the vast sea of ​​people and complicated relationships, and the world is extremely quiet.

It's a pity that the weather is cloudy, and it may rain soon, so we won't be able to see the best moonlight this year.

Ye Qiao lowered her head and entered the rest room, only to find that her bag was missing.

There were several strange makeup artists and actors in the room, and Xu Yinshan's assistant was sitting where she had put her bag.Ye Qiao asked her, "Have you seen my bag?" The other party pretended to be surprised and glanced around, and said, "I didn't see it. Look for it, isn't it in this room?"

Ye Qiao reluctantly said no, or Zhao Mo came out from the crowd to help her find it for a long time, and said, "You went to the bathroom just now, did you forget where it was?"

She thought for half a second, then turned and went out.

Bottles and cans were scattered on the glass table in the bathroom, and some fell to the ground.Ye Qiao's white bag was open, lying limply on the corner of the table, and all the original contents inside were poured out.Ye Qiao threw the scattered lipstick, moisturizing lotion, foundation, and pens into the wastebasket, and then counted the IDs and cards in the wallet, there were quite a few.She took everything out of her pockets and threw the wallet into the wastebasket.

After finishing all this, she turned into the corridor with a cold face, and unexpectedly met Zhou Tingshen head-on.

Ye Qiao was stunned for a moment.I thought that when he appeared at the audition scene, he would at least pretend to sit until the end, but I didn't expect this person to be unwilling to do everything on the surface.

Zhou Ting blocked her way: "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Ye Qiao stopped in her tracks: "I lost my phone."

Zhou Ting said with a deep expression of relief: "Stolen?"

She smiled: "Throw it away."

He frowned again: "Why throw it?"

Ye Qiao blocked him with one hand, raised her eyebrows and walked forward: "It's not because of you anyway."

Although the tone is not good, the answer is yes anyway.Zhou Tingshen followed her into the elevator and pressed the floor of the underground garage.Ye Qiao glanced at him and pressed "1L" casually.

Zhou Ting's deep eyebrows moved slightly: "Is it really so heartless?"

Ye Qiao put his hands in his pockets and confronted him with great interest: "Mid-Autumn Festival, does Mr. Zhou have no family to accompany him?"

Zhou Tingshen said without hesitation: "No." Then he smiled at her, "There is a moon to chase."

Ye Qiao couldn't hold back anymore, she mocked lightly, and changed her tone: "Unfortunately, I have family to accompany me."

This reason was too good, Zhou Ting frowned deeply: "Who to accompany?" He remembered that the relationship between Ye Qiao and his family was not good.

Ye Qiao couldn't help chuckling: "Grandma." She was still hesitating, but when she said it, she really planned to go back and stay overnight.

When the elevator arrived at the ground floor, Ye Qiao had just stepped out with one foot when she was suddenly hugged back by someone around her waist.There were several people waiting for the elevator outside the door, Zhou Tingshen clasped Ye Qiao firmly to his body under their dumbfounded gazes.Only a cleaning lady who didn't know the truth pushed a water truck, got into the elevator as before, and looked at them in blank dismay.The space became narrow, and Ye Qiao struggled to prevent the windbreaker from getting dirty, and said angrily, "You're hijacking."

Zhou Tingshen took this as a compliment, and soon arrived at the underground garage. Under his aunt's suspicious gaze, he carried him out, turned his head and said in disapproval, "It's awkward to accompany her."

Ye Qiao let Zhou Tingshen help her fasten her seat belt, and stared at him with gloomy eyes.

When the elevator door closed again, Zhou Ting turned the car key deeply, and looked at Ye Qiao with a malicious look: "Hijacking, right... How many bad things have I done to you, huh? Can you count them?"

His tone was low and ambiguous, and the word "um" with an erratic nasal sound made her think about it, and she even wanted to sew this mouth shut.Unexpectedly, Zhou Ting's face became thicker, and he leaned over to kiss her. Ye Qiao wanted to hide, but he quickly rubbed the tip of his tongue against her lips, and smacked maliciously: "Why hide, what's wrong?"

Ye Qiao let out a "huh" and smiled instead of anger: "So what, if you have the ability, you are here to deal with me?"

Zhou Ting was deeply speechless.With a smile in her eyes, Ye Qiao pinched his slightly hot collarbone with her fingers, and compared calmly: "You're skinny, it's full of pain here."

The touch on his neck made every muscle in his body tense. Zhou Ting squeezed her hand with deep forbearance. In the rearview mirror, Xu Yinshan and his party were coming out of the elevator.With sharp eyes, he stepped on the accelerator.Ye Qiao saw him steering the wheel with one hand, and drove out of the garage with a livid face. The wonderful expression made her almost forget that her hand was still under his control, and she laughed lawlessly.

Her laughter was not in the sound of the galloping wind, and she shook her hands symbolically twice: "Let go, it hurts me."

Zhou Ting let go subconsciously, and then pulled back unwillingly.Ye Qiao's wrist was pinched with a red mark, and he said angrily, "You don't need to abuse people, do you?"

Zhou Ting snorted deeply: "Who abused whom?"

She didn't intend to reason, and raised her face and shouted: "It really hurts."

Zhou Tingshen slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the red light, raised her arms with both hands to see, there were indeed red marks, and reprimanded: "If you don't make trouble, it will be fine."

The depressed tone made Ye Qiao laugh.

Zhou Ting couldn't hear her laughter that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he grabbed her arm, pulled her to him with ease, and looked into her eyes.Only then did Ye Qiao become a little more serious, his eyes flickering with vigilance.

That gaze seemed to have something real, and it was hooked into his heart. Zhou Ting's heart trembled, and he couldn't help covering her soft lips.His movements were gentle and not aggressive at all, Ye Qiao didn't hide in a daze, trapped in the tenderness surrounding the acupoints.

After the long kiss, Zhou Ting's deep eyes turned bright and cloudy. Looking at Ye Qiao, who was out of breath, he said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know how I felt on the boat that day?"

Ye Qiao's face turned red, she gasped heavily, and said with difficulty, "What?"

He turned to face the pouring traffic: "I was there when you entered the house that day."

Zhou Tingshen said this very calmly, started again and drove into the traffic flow, the speed of the car was steady, as if there had never been a stormy sea.

Ye Qiao took a long time to get her breathing evenly. She recalled that after she entered Wen Shaoqian's room, in order to tease him, she greeted him warmly at first, and the jewelry and buttons were scattered all over the floor.The sound insulation on the ship is extremely poor, and the sound is inevitably misleading to the ears of people outside the door.He was there then?

She withdrew from the momentary astonishment, thinking that perhaps it should have been like this, otherwise why would he have such a gloomy face when he saw her for the first time, and asked her if she was "kicked out" at the first sentence out of his mouth.

During the silence, the best time to explain had already been missed, Zhou Tingshen asked her address intermittently, Ye Qiao answered obediently, and wanted to speak several times.

The dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky finally settled, and it was raining lightly all the way, driving into the old villa area of ​​Ye Qiao's grandmother's house.

Zhou Ting slammed on the brakes: "It's here."

The villa area imitates the courtyards of Ming and Qing Dynasties, with antique buildings, and there is even a flower pond next to the gate, with carp playing among the lotus leaves.

Ye Qiao's mother came from a family of calligraphers and painters, her ancestors had obtained fame in the Qing Dynasty, her parents were both academic leaders, and she was also a well-known connoisseur of calligraphers and painters during her lifetime.At the beginning, Xu Zang, a little-known little painter, fell in love with the daughter of the Ye family. After receiving a lot of pressure from the Ye family, Ye Qiao's grandmother strongly opposed the marriage, and it ended with Xu Zang getting married.

It's a pity that the beauty is unlucky, and the mother died just after turning 35.

As night fell, many past events disappeared, only the drizzle tonight poured into the sky and the earth.

There is a gap left in the door, perhaps knowing that there will be guests tonight.Ye Qiao estimated the rain outside the car window, if he rushed in quickly, he shouldn't be too wet.

Zhou Ting looked deeply at the warm lamp left for Ye Qiao in the building, his mind moved slightly, and said, "Send you down?"

Ye Qiao was thinking about how to deliver without an umbrella, but he had already got out of the car and walked around to her side, took off his coat and set up a shed, and called to her, "Come down."

She watched his shoulders, which were only wearing a shirt, gradually get wet, she didn't dare to hesitate, and stood under the cover specially designed for her.Zhou Ting held her shoulders deeply and led her to walk forward. From the courtyard gate to the house gate, one had to cross the narrow bridge over the flower pond, and then stepped on the slightly wet stone path to reach the eaves.

The door of the room is closed tightly, and the antique door in the shape of three crosses and six bowls of water chestnut reveals a scent of camphor, mixed with rainwater and new mud, which makes people feel peaceful.

Ye Qiao touched his shoulder, her fingertips were cool, and her guilt deepened: "It's easy to catch a cold in this weather."

Zhou Ting smiled warmly and said, "It's just a little rain, it doesn't matter."

Harmonious laughter came from the house, and Ye Qiao recognized the voices of the uncle's family and grandma, hesitating to look back frequently, worried that someone would open the door and come out.Zhou Ting thought she was leaving in a hurry, so he took a step back and said in a joking tone, "Aren't you going to keep me for a meal?"

Ye Qiao knew that no matter how joking the tone was, the person who asked was probably serious.However, Ye's family was very strict in education, and it was really embarrassing for her to take people back without saying hello in advance.

Zhou Ting understood deeply, restrained his smile, and waved lightly: "It's okay, let's go in."

Ye Qiao didn't move, watching his back slowly step into the drizzle room, the long-accumulated rainwater dripped from the eaves and hit his lead gray suit trousers.Guilt lingered back and forth in her heart, but she didn't have the courage to call out to him at this moment.

Zhou Ting walked to the narrow bridge and suddenly turned around. Seeing that she was still there, he smiled and waved the coat in his hand to her.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but his back steps were getting slower and slower.Ye Qiao frowned sullenly, and urged him to leave quickly in her heart, but there was a bit of nostalgia she didn't want to admit.

She didn't ring the doorbell until they were gone.The auntie opened the door for her, said "Yo", and said good news to her grandmother with a smile: "The old lady guessed right, she really came."

Uncle put down the bowls and chopsticks, and smiled honestly: "It's really Qiao Qiao."

Grandma sat on the mahogany teacher's chair, chewing the food slowly, and took a long time to put down the chopsticks.The once white and beautiful face is already covered with wrinkles, but the old man still has the elegance accumulated over the years when he smiles.Grandma lightly adjusted the silk scarf around her neck, then said with a smile, "I knew she would never forget it."

Qian Xi shook off the stool without any formality, and ran over to hug Ye Qiao: "Ah, cousin, you are finally here, finally I am not the only one being tortured by grandma!"

Ye Qiao pulled off her arm and said, "Grandma doesn't talk at the dinner table, what can I ask you?"

Qianxi pretended to cry twice: "It's not my dad, who complained to my grandma that I didn't work hard and didn't have a date..."

The Ye family adopts a free-ranging education method for the younger generation. As long as they behave properly, they can make all the blueprints by themselves.What the elders care about is just these two ordinary questions.When Ye Qiao heard "there is no match", she glanced at her suspiciously.Qian Xi winked at her, Ye Qiao understood, the little girl wanted to fall in love and didn't want her family to know.

Grandma reprimanded softly: "Okay, let your cousin sit down and eat."

Qian Xi returned to her seat obediently. Just as the table was ready, the housekeeper added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Ye Qiao who was late.Ye Qiao took off his coat and apologized: "I just arrived in Yangcheng last night, and rushed to audition, but came empty-handed, grandma, don't blame me."

"Grandma would blame you." The old man said angrily, "You are so young, what are you doing with grandma? Wait until you get married and start a business, and then do this again."

My aunt should also say yes.The uncle sat down slowly, and the first sentence was: "Qianxi said you lost your mobile phone, why didn't you buy one? Your aunt wanted to call you back for dinner, but she couldn't get in touch."

Ye Qiao pushed, "I haven't had time yet. I'll buy it in two days."

Qianxi asked enthusiastically, "Cousin, which one do you buy? The 6S just came out, and I'm going to let my classmate buy it from the United States. Would you like to bring one with you?"

Ye Qiao said, "It's okay, I'll just buy it myself."

Uncle scolded Qianxi with angry eyes: "You just stared at these all day long. Back then, you cried and shouted to study medicine, but you really didn't pay attention to it after learning it. You didn't have any certainty."

"Dad—" Qianxi cried and held the bowl, "Why do you involve everything in work!"

Ye Qiao listened dumbfounded to their chatter.The aunt sitting next to her couldn't get in the conversation, so she served her soup and asked, "She's usually in Lingcheng, isn't she annoying you?"

She said no, but her aunt still had a happy smile on her face, and said lightly, "This kid Qianxi was transformed from a monkey, and she is already in her early twenties. I don't know who will be able to cure her in the future."

Ye Qiao smiled lightly and said, "She just looked a little fussy, but she knew everything in her heart."

The aunt was slightly stunned, and agreed after thinking about it, and asked her with a smile: "Where is Qiao Qiao? Grandma is very close to you. You do this line of work, and the family doesn't give you any support. The reason is that grandma hopes that you can play for two years." Take it easy. Seeing that you are developing better and better recently, you may not be able to accept it when you see it. Grandma turned a blind eye and put her mind elsewhere."

Ye Qiao lowered her head: "Yes. I know everything."

The aunt said happily: "It's good to know. When the lifelong affairs between you and Qianxi are settled, the old man will not worry about it."

Before the words were finished, Qianxi ran over to interrupt: "Mom! What are you talking to your cousin? It's not enough to nagging me at home... Tsk tsk, even my cousin!"

Sure enough, it was another scolding meal.Ye Qiao smiled awkwardly, preparing to finish the meal silently.

At this moment, with a "ding dong", the doorbell rang.

Qianxi was scolded until one head and two big ones said, "I'll open the door." Her mother got excited and dragged her down: "I want you to be courteous."

Ye Qiao put down the bowl and chopsticks, quickly wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "I'll go."

When the door lock was turned open, her expression froze suddenly.

The handsome man smiled at her warmly, covered in the moisture of night rain.It was Zhou Ting who left and returned.

He was still wearing the same clothes just now, half dry and half wet, holding two boxes of moon cakes in his hand.The brand is a century-old brand of Yangcheng's autocratic Chinese pastry, and he can't order it every year at this time. He doesn't know how he got it.

Ye Qiao pushed the people out in a panic and went out by herself.It was already dark, and Zhou Ting leaned against the outer wall, accepting her interrogation: "What are you here for?"

Zhou Ting raised the gift box in his hand: "I'll bring you mooncakes."

Ye Qiao gritted her teeth: "I didn't ask you this."

He is rascal: "otherwise what is it?"

Ye Qiao finally gave up and looked down: "Where did you get the mooncakes?"

Zhou Tingshen explained truthfully: "I got it at home. My mother used to love it, and she ordered it here every year. Every year there are two more boxes."

Ye Qiao had nothing to say, touched his wet shoulder, and frowned: "Why don't you change the clothes?"

Zhou Ting smiled deeply: "Forgot."

Through a door, Uncle Ye Qiao looked around in bewilderment: "What's the matter, the guest didn't invite in, so he poured out by himself."

The aunt's eyes were vicious, and when she saw a young man, she forced Qianxi to ask: "What's going on, do you know who that man is?"

Qian Xi huddled on the chair, pretending to be a little white rabbit, and sewed her mouth with both hands: "I don't know, I don't know! I won't tell you even if I kill you!"

The old man turned around and said slowly: "Xixi, good boy, tell grandma, who is outside?"

"..." Qianxi was stared at several times, and finally couldn't help but said, "I'm not sure, I just saw it, and it looks like it. Maybe it's my cousin's...boyfriend?"

The "maybe" she said is really uncertain, because the only information she has learned is "this man is having an affair with her cousin" and "the cousin recently said that she has a sweetheart". come to this conclusion.

However, the elders ignored the word "possible" when they heard it.

Her father said sharply: "Your cousin has a boyfriend, why don't you tell the family."

Qian Xi: "I..." What does it matter to me that my cousin has a boyfriend?I made a boyfriend without telling you!
Her mother asked again: "It's your boyfriend, why didn't you come with your cousin?"

Qian Xi: "Ah..." How do I know this!
The grandma sighed: "Qiao Qiao is an awkward kid, and he has had to be chased and coaxed since he was a child. He has chased him to the house, so hurry up and invite him in."

Qian Xi: "This..." You guys have such a rich brain, does my cousin know that!

Before she could finish roaring in her heart, her father, the lord, had already gone to the door and opened it.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, revealing a beam of warm light, and the two people standing outside the door in the darkness were a little at a loss.Looking at Ye Qiao's embarrassed expression, the uncle really believed that the child was ignorant, and said kindly, "Why is someone here talking here? It's raining heavily outside, so hurry up and invite him in."

Ye Qiao: "..."

When Zhou Ting entered the room, he had already eaten a meal.The aunt added a pair of bowls and chopsticks symbolically, but he didn't move much. The people in the seat had almost eaten, and everyone's main task was to facilitate the interrogation by eating.

Ye Qiao was one head and two big. Hearing his uncle and aunt say that he was being polite, the knowledgeable aunt glanced at the box of mooncakes and repeatedly praised him for his heart.Ye Qiao was so overwhelmed by the glares from all over the place that she sensed something was wrong, a cold light slanted towards Qianxi, and asked with her eyes - what did you tell them?
Qian Xi innocently mouthed her back - I didn't say anything!

Zhou Tingshen held Ye Qiao's hand under the dining table, and smiled as he watched the cousins ​​play charades.

Grandma is serious, and uncle is a man.The aunt was eliminated internally to be the examiner, and he smiled kindly: "Are you from Yangcheng?"

Zhou Ting nodded deeply and said "yes".The uncle on the other side immediately exchanged glances with grandma across the dining table, oh, he's a local.

The aunt was naturally surprised: "You didn't accompany your parents tonight, did you come here specially to accompany Qiao Qiao?"

With a deep smile on the corner of Zhou Ting's mouth, he answered "yes".

Ye Qiao pinched him under the table.The aunt kept saying things like "Where do you work?" "It's usually hard work." "Qiao Qiao always runs out, it's not easy for you." I felt that I was about to be wrapped in a phoenix coronet and married off.

Qian Xi looked at her with sympathetic eyes, as if saying, "I told you that this will happen".

It was already nine o'clock after dinner, and Zhou Tingshen drank a few glasses of wine with his uncle at the banquet, so it was not easy to drive.Aunt wanted to keep him here, so she gave Ye Qiao a look to ask.

Ye Qiao was disrupted by Zhou Tingshen's sudden appearance tonight, and he didn't know whether to agree or not.He didn't agree until he heard him cover his mouth and sneezed lightly, wanting him to take a hot bath quickly.Fortunately, there are many rooms in Ye's house, Zhou Tingshen stayed overnight, and grandma didn't see any displeasure on her face.

There was no shower in the guest room, and the shared bathroom was occupied by Qianxi. Zhou Tingshen was led by Ye Qiao to the bathroom in her bedroom to take a bath.

Ye Qiao helped him get towels and uncle's pajamas, and told him: "You are too tall, uncle's coat may not fit, I will dry it for you, and you should be able to wear it tomorrow." He went into the shower to help him adjust the water temperature, and told him Directions for hot and cold water, where the toiletries are located.

Just as she was about to go out, Zhou Ting blocked the door of the shower room, wrapped her arms around her waist, and sniffed her hair: "Will you take a shower with me?"

Ye Qiao pinched him on the face, and said viciously, "You haven't settled your debt tonight yet. If you dare to commit crimes in front of my grandma and uncles and aunts, be careful not to be kicked out."

Zhou Ting bowed his head deeply and kissed her, and smiled slightly: "It's worth getting kicked out." He had the air of being coquettish even if he died under a peony flower, so Ye Qiao bit him hard and gave up resentfully.

Qian Xi came to Ye Qiao's room to look for her after taking a bath, closed the door furtively, heard the sound of the shower in the bathroom, and winked at Ye Qiao ambiguously, and kept clicking tsk tsk.

Ye Qiao was lying on the bed reading a book, and asked coldly, "What are you here for?"

Qianxi tutted again: "My mother tortured me for a long time, but I didn't say anything. Cousin, you have to give me credit."

Ye Qiao snorted: "What's the credit?"

Qianxi said angrily: "Hmph, I've seen this before, and it was at your house... So you guys started dating at that time, thanks to the fact that I tried my best to find a husband-in-law for you! As a result, you have already hidden in the golden house. So cute!"

Ye Qiao was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'getting on'?"

Qian Xi had a contemptuous expression of "Don't be so unkind": "Isn't this a mess? People are chasing after home. Don't tell me that you didn't bring it, but someone else gave us our address."

Ye Qiao listened warily to the sound from the bathroom, and said in a concentrated voice, "We're not together. Don't talk nonsense."

Qian Xi gasped, and Ye Qiao covered her mouth in time.After a while, wait for her to calm down before letting go.Qian Xi took a deep breath: "No way! We're still not together!" She recalled a moment, and said in disbelief, "So you didn't know what you said back then, didn't you ask, is it true? Are you kidding me?"

Ye Qiao nodded.She was depressed, and he took advantage of all the troubles tonight, and she didn't know how to end it afterwards.

Qian Xi put on the posture of sister Tao, knelt on the bed and walked to her side: "So my mother asked so clearly just now, you just know a little bit."

Ye Qiao said "Yes", and heard Qian Xi say bitterly, "Then now, haven't you asked about that matter?"

Ye Qiao shook her head and said, "What do you think?"

Qian Xi yelled "my cousin", broke down and beat the bed: "It's all up to you, if he doesn't like you, I'll cut off your head!"

The sound of the shower stopped suddenly at "Cut your head".

Qianxi's smile faltered for a moment, and she turned her head sadly.Fortunately, no one came out yet.She buried her head in Ye Qiao's chest like an ostrich, and rubbed her head violently: "Cousin...Although I said a lot of bad things about him before, don't mind, some things are better to know than not to know. Now think about it, those It's not too much of a problem, at least you are well-matched and love each other. Unlike me, my doctor Fu's family conditions are not good, and I don't know how to tell my dad and them. "

Ye Qiao had already guessed the reason, and patted her head: "It's okay, tell them well, although grandma is old-fashioned, she is not old-fashioned."

Qianxi groaned twice: "Oh, when my aunt married my uncle, it was said that it was a bloodbath. Even though my uncle married into the family by force, I always depended on the faces of my grandparents. It was only when I became famous that things got better. As a result Something happened to my aunt later on... Ah, with the bloody example here, it will be even more difficult for me to marry!"

She was only crying about what happened to her, but she didn't realize that it had affected Ye Qiao's feelings.It wasn't until he raised his head that he was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Ah, cousin...I didn't mean that..."

The bathroom door was suddenly opened.As soon as Zhou Tingshen came out, he saw Qianxi rubbing Ye Qiao up and down on the bed intimately.

Qianxi was dumbfounded, and quickly jumped up and said, "Ah, cousin-in-law! I didn't mean to occupy your bed! Hehehehe, I'll go first..." Before jumping off the bed, she gave Ye Qiao a wink and placed one hand on her neck With a stroke on it, "Cousin, remember what I said!" He ran out and closed the door for them with a "bang".

Ye Qiao was speechless.Who wants to cut off her head.

Zhou Ting stood in front of the bed, looking down at Ye Qiao: "What did she say?"

Ye Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing." Looking up to see that he was wearing old-fashioned blue and white plaid pajamas, which were baggy like a hospital gown, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Ting went to bed to catch people: "What are you laughing at? Huh?"

"Laugh at you, you're ugly... You're so ugly." Ye Qiao was tickled by him, wanted to laugh but was afraid of alarming grandma and the others, so she gritted her teeth and spat at him, "Don't let me talk about being ugly!"

Zhou Ting scratched deeply a few times, and she could feel the familiar softness of her skin through a layer of fabric.He paused with his fingertips, gradually loosened his grip, and sat up suddenly.

Ye Qiao heard that he hadn't moved for a long time, worried that he would really hurt his self-esteem, and slowly turned to face him: "Actually..." He forgot the words again.

His gaze was like some kind of dry and warm heat source, and the tip of her heart was instantly assimilated by that temperature.The drizzle that was restless in my heart suddenly cleared up, revealing the melting moonlight.

It was the best moonlight of the year.

Zhou Ting looked at her silently for a while, with a fair face, slender eyelashes, plain eyebrows, soft and open eyes, with a hint of shyness.Everything is just right.He stretched out his hand to brush her hair, his fingertips were trembling with the frequency of his heartbeat, and he called her name in a warm voice: "Jojo."

The heat stored in his heart suddenly gushed out, scorching Ye Qiao's throat like a flood.She used to resent this title because only her closest family members called her that. However, her mother passed away for many years, and she had been separated from her father for a long time. Hearing this title often arouses sensitive emotions hidden in her heart.However, he pronounced these two words in a gentle voice, and called her strangely, but with a strange appropriateness.

She let out a soft breath from her nose: "Yeah."

His voice trembled slightly: "Come to my house for a meal sometime."

Ye Qiao hesitated for a long time.How much meaning there is in this invitation, her heart is like a mirror.

Her look is default.Zhou Ting's nervous face was tense for a long time, and it was not easy to smile: "Then the fifteenth day of next month?"

Ye Qiao pursed her lips: "Fifteen has a job."

"That sixteen."

"There are also sixteen."

Zhou Ting smiled bitterly: "You reject me?"

Ye Qiao said helplessly, "It really is."

"Then you pick a day."

Ye Qiao said without thinking, "I'm free for these two days."

Zhou Ting was deeply troubled by her, staring into her eyes: "Seriously?"

"Um……"

Zhou Tingshen was silent for a while suddenly, and the words rolled down his throat countless times but it was hard to say.He wrapped his long arms around her waist, sniffed her familiar body fragrance, and expressed his gratitude and peace of mind with deep and relieved breaths.

Ye Qiao was wrapped in his arms, and suddenly said, "Zhou Tingshen."

"Ok?"

It was hard to get the words out of her mouth, and Ye Qiao stumbled when explaining: "That day... I didn't..."

Her heart is bright and bright, but some words cannot be avoided. Even if the negative prefixes of "no" and "never" are first emphasized, their filth cannot be washed away.

Zhou Ting knew it deeply, and before she could finish speaking, he held her tighter: "I know."

Sometimes the knots entangled in each other disappear without a trace with just one sentence.Those grievances of distrust and many of the guilts of the past seem to no longer matter.It was only at this time that Ye Qiao realized that she could also be a person who is drunk now.

I don't know how I fell asleep that night.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually stopped, and Zhou Tingshen was already asleep when Ye Qiao turned around.She stood up and stared, there was a faint pale circle around the man's eyes, maybe he hadn't had a good sleep in the past few days.She carefully got up to take a shower, changed into her pajamas, went downstairs carrying the two of them's clothes, and put his coat on the dryer.

The hot air blows on the back of the hand, the moisture evaporates, and the masculine scent on the soft fabric adheres to the hand.Ye Qiao turned off the machine, sniffed lightly, and there was a smell after being exposed to the sun.

When going upstairs again, I passed the guest room where Zhou Tingshen was supposed to live.In fact, it was originally her parents' room, but her mother died early, and her father rarely interacted with Ye's family after that, so this room was vacated.In her heart, she didn't want him to sleep here, and she always felt that the meaning was bad.

It turns out that she can also be very superstitious.

When I lay down next to him again, the tiredness came quickly, and falling asleep became easier than ever.In fact, she relied on her father since she was a child. This is a secret that she is ashamed to tell. When she was 13 years old, due to a sudden change, she forced herself to separate from the relationship between father and daughter.Therefore, the partners she looks for in adulthood are often older, and her temperament and experience make her feel out of reach.

But this time it was a completely different experience for her.Both of them have a juvenile temperament that makes troubles intermittently, and they tolerate each other's childishness and youth.The pace is in your own hands, no longer follow the rhythm of others.

Everything was unfamiliar, and she groped carefully and expectantly.

Zhou Tingshen suddenly turned over in his deep dream, and unconsciously hugged her.

Ye Qiao was half dreaming and half awake, and fell asleep again in this position, vaguely aware that he was having a nightmare, his hands and feet were cold, but he hesitated to hug him tightly.Ye Qiao was familiar with the taste of nightmares, so he climbed onto his back to comfort him in a daze.On a desolate rainy night, the two bodies were warmed with body heat, and when they woke up the next day, their hands and feet were already entangled.

When the sun was about to rise, Zhou Tingshen woke up, recalling the familiar bloody scene in his dream, and he couldn't escape the nightmare on such a perfect night. This made him unexpected, and he guessed that he might have behaved very uselessly last night.Looking down at Ye Qiao, he remembered something more important: this is her boudoir.

I didn't sleep in a separate room with her last night, and the possibility of being discovered by the elders accumulated into a kind of unexplained guilt, and the physiological reaction of the body in the early morning was even more embarrassing at this moment.

The autumn morning after the rain was refreshing, and when Ye Qiao woke up, two beams of sunlight fell on her side, guessing that Zhou Ting might have gone back to the guest room in the middle of the night.

The sound of ping-pong-pong in the kitchen downstairs could not be heard clearly through the thick wall. It must be my aunt who got up early to cook.Ye Qiao glanced at the antique clock, it was still early, so he got up to wash in a daze.

As soon as the door of the bathroom was pushed open, moisture filled the soles of my feet.

The man inside the door quickly pulled the towel around his body.Ye Qiao was taken aback for a moment, but after being steamed by the hot mist in the bathroom, he realized that he had just taken a shower.

Zhou Tingshen got up early and went for a morning run to beat the fire, and when he came back to take a shower, his muscles were tightened after exercising, and the water droplets that would not be wiped off in the future flowed into the two deep ravines in his waist and abdomen along the angular texture of his abdomen.Ye Qiao collected his eyes, admiring wantonly enough, passed him with a smirk, and took out a tube of toothpaste.The quaint carved mirror in front of her was covered with mist. She put the toothbrush into her mouth with a smile, freed up one hand, and slowly wiped out a piece of mirror surface with her fingertips, which just happened to reflect Zhou Tingshen's appearance.

The fingertips seemed to pass through the mirror, stroking his body.

Zhou Tingshen saw her ill-intentioned smile from the polished mirror, and his forbearing thoughts were provoked to the last inch.He clasped her waist suggestively from behind.Ye Qiao's dry and cool back was pressed against a chest just out of the bath, and he dodged forward without conscience, with a vague dislike in his mouth: "Wet..."

Zhou Ting pressed forward step by step, and the two reached the sink together. Ye Qiao couldn't avoid it, bent down and smiled, took a mouthful of water to rinse off the foam, and scolded him: "Brush your teeth, stop shouting."

"Shout." Zhou Tingshen walked around her shoulders from behind and looked at her. The hot body temperature after the bath made her feel like she was in a steamer.Ye Qiao clearly felt his desire to wake up every inch of him, barely finished washing, and fell into a deeper deadlock.

Zhou Tingshen is naturally a fake prestige, no matter how unrestrained he is, he can't pick this juncture and lose control.Annoyed, he let go of the person, turned around, took his clothes and went out in embarrassment.

The bathroom is next to the door of the bedroom, there are rustling noises outside the door, someone is walking on the stairs.

Ye Qiao arrived shortly thereafter, only one person could pass through the long and narrow aisle, and Zhou Tingshen was blocked by her at the entrance, unable to move forward or retreat.

He smiled wryly: "What are you doing out here, you want to see me get dressed?"

Ye Qiao made a "tow", and took two steps forward to give him a comforting kiss. When her lips touched, the sound of footsteps in the corridor could be heard in their ears.One of them is old and gentle, and his pace is gentle, it should be grandma.

There are many rooms on the second floor, and it sounds like they are not coming this way. Ye Qiao's kisses became bolder, and she did not forget to tease: "Grandma has woken up. Guess what she thought when she went downstairs and saw the untouched guest room?"

As if to confirm her words, grandma's voice just rang out: "Where did everyone go? Aunt Zhong, have you seen it?"

Aunt Zhong's voice said from a distance: "When I saw someone get up in the morning, it seems that I went out for a run."

"Where did you come from?"

"This……"

The vague dialogue and Ye Qiao's voice intertwined in his ears, and Zhou Ting's heart beat like a drum, revealing his uneasiness.But Ye Qiao casually approached him, and finally pressed his palm on his chest, chuckling: "So nervous?"

When Ye Qiao went downstairs, Qian Xi was already sitting at the dining table waiting for dinner.

Zhou Ting went downstairs to the kitchen to wash a basket of winter dates, then sat next to Ye Qiao to feed her.Ye Qiao didn't want to eat it, so Zhou Tingshen forcibly fed one.

Qian Xi, whose entire face was written with "Baby's heart is bitter", was shown off guardlessly, and angrily moved her bowl to the side.

The sour fruit smell invaded Ye Qiao's taste buds, and the teeth that had just been washed were sensitive to cold and sour, and she frowned in pain: "Sour." Zhou Tingshen immediately took the pulp she spit out, and handed her a glass of milk.Ye Qiao didn't like to drink, so he snatched Qianxi's orange juice.

Qian Xi saw a hand reaching out swiftly like the wind, taking her orange juice away without any warning, her eyes widened—it's unreasonable!
Zhou Ting let out a deep laugh, picked up a few jujubes from the basket, and pushed the rest to Qianxi: "Do you want to eat?"

Qian Xi received the bribe, and grudgingly gnawed on the winter dates, and kept looking at Ye Qiao.

Obviously she is not single, why is she still being abused!
Aunt Zhong served the last dish early, and Grandma arrived late.

The old man came from a family of intellectuals and claimed to have a good family style. When he looked up and saw the young couple sitting opposite him, he opened his mouth and didn't know where to start.

Qian Xi stuffed winter dates into her mouth, and said, "Grandma, you look really good today, you're rosy in white!"

The old man actually gave her a stare, causing her to choke and cough for a long time.

Ye Qiao looked around: "Where's uncle and aunt?"

"go to work."

Grandma has a bad tone.Ye Qiao's smile froze for an instant, and he and Zhou Ting looked at each other deeply.

The atmosphere at the table froze instantly.Only Qianxi was moved to tears while eating: "I can finally eat normal food! I really don't want to go back to work, why don't we let it go for seven days during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Ye Qiao pretended to be natural and said, "You should become a regular next month, right?"

"There is no special treatment for becoming a full-time employee, and there are no VIPs in the hospital cafeteria!"

Zhou Tingshen also cooperated: "Where is your unit?"

"It's on the other side of Qingjiang Road. It's quite close to the place I rent. It would be great if I could bring Aunt Zhong to cook for me. Hmph, it's all my father's fault. No."

When Zhou Ting heard this address, his expression froze imperceptibly.Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Ye Qiao took up the conversation again.

Fortunately, there was Qian Xi who was a talkative twat, and he was able to get along with each other, so he finally managed to muddle through the meal.

Say goodbye to grandma after dinner.Grandma hesitated to speak in front of Qianxi, but finally said nothing, telling them to be careful on the road.

Ye Qiao got into the car and was so tired that he slumped on the passenger seat: "Eating a meal is like acting in a spy war drama. Did you see the way grandma looked at me just now? I dare not come back during the Spring Festival..."

Zhou Tingshen helped her fasten her seat belt: "Don't do this in the future."

Ye Qiao looked at him closely: "What does 'this' mean?"

"Okay..." Zhou Tingshen took advantage of the red light to get someone, hooked it empty, and grabbed a strand of her hair with his fingertips, "I left this impression on your grandma when I came to the door for the first time, can I still enter your house in the future?" gone?"

"Go ahead anyway. It is said that my uncle and aunt made something more exciting when they were young... At that time my grandfather was still in good health, and he beat my uncle with his own hands until his eyes were big and small." Ye Qiao talked about old family news. Joyful, not ashamed but proud, "Don't look at Qianxi's parents looking so serious now, Qianxi's current temperament is genetically based."

Zhou Ting let out an exaggerated "Oh" in a deep tone: "So this is still a family tradition."

After talking indecently all the way, when they arrived at Lingcheng, Zhou Tingshen suddenly said seriously, "You're just coming back like this?"

Ye Qiao asked strangely, "Otherwise?"

I really don't know whether to say she is indifferent or stupid.Zhou Ting was very tricky: "You don't even have a mobile phone, how do you receive work notifications?"

Ye Qiao was stunned: "I always contact Shen Ting for job notices. Shen Ting will send important documents to my email. I haven't read them for the past two days. Is there any news about the audition?"

Zhou Ting patted her on the head deeply: "Don't worry, I can't contact you, why don't I still have me."

As for why she contacted him, all Ye Qiao could think of were dirty reasons.But these are secondary now, she is concerned: "How is the result?"

Zhou Tingshen: "Wang Qingming said that your image is too plain, and you may be more suitable for the role of Pei Xindan. Whether you want to switch is still under discussion. I contacted you just for this matter."

Swapping with Pei Xindan, regardless of the ending, the role of the scene is the same.Ye Qiao understood what this meant, and said, "I can play that role, but Pei Xindan is not suitable for this one. The character of 'Lin Xuan' is too dark and distorted, and it is not the same as Pei Xindan's chivalry. You and Wang The director would like to share my opinion, I have already changed roles in "Watchmen", playing Lin Xuan is no problem."

Zhou Ting knew that she was very serious when she entered the working state, so she deliberately teased: "So arrogant."

Ye Qiao said seriously, "It's not that I'm arrogant. In the end, it's your fault."

Zhou Ting deeply suspected that he heard it wrong: "Blame me?"

Ye Qiao wrote disdain on her face: "Didn't the script I got during the audition be a part you deliberately chose?" After she finished speaking, she noticed his eyes, guilty as expected, and she sneered, "It's nice to hear your confession." , asked me to recite a lot of romantic lines, but I didn’t have a chance to perform the parts that I could really test my acting skills, so of course Director Wang would doubt me.”

"..." Zhou Ting was speechless.How could I care so much at the beginning?Moreover, the audition was just a formality in his eyes, and he invested so much capital not just to listen to his confession.

Ye Qiao smiled and suddenly remembered the photo that inexplicably appeared in her bag that day, the corners of her eyes suddenly curled up, and she raised her finger to pick his chin: "But that's fine, I'm a young actor who was adopted by me, how about Make it easier."

This woman will always have the ability to be more lawless.Zhou Ting was distracted by her teasing, and resisted by going out of business: "It's all in this position, why don't you choose a decent character to play, but choose to play a villain. Isn't it bad for popularity?"

"Popularity is risky." Ye Qiao admits, but she has her own persistence, "I hope every film can have a breakthrough. Even if it is a commercial film, it is not so easy to act well. Now the audience no longer only cares about the hero and heroine. In this era, the stereotyped integrity and kindness will be forgotten, and if the villain has a deeper digging degree, he will be remembered for a longer time."

Zhou Tingshen said, "Then I'll help you back."

"Ah."

When driving near the neighborhood, Zhou Ting asked deeply, "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I don't want to go out today." Ye Qiao stayed in the car for a long time, opening his eyes tiredly, "Isn't there a supermarket in front? Buy some ingredients and cook for me... I've eaten dog food for so long since I've known you .”

Zhou Ting couldn't stop laughing, and said brazenly, "This is the only dog ​​food I make, and no one else has tasted it except you." In the end, Ye Qiao was slapped.

Although it didn't hurt at all, he said aggrievedly before getting out of the car: "Can this habit be changed?"

Ye Qiao raised her head and said no, feeling that he was ungrateful: "At the beginning, some people said they didn't mind."

Zhou Tingshen swallowed the promise he made himself.

Walking into the supermarket, Ye Qiao suddenly remembered something, and asked him, "You've been running around for so long, where did you put Desa and Ophelia?"

"Don't worry, I won't die from starvation." Zhou Ting bowed his head and picked the fish, "I asked Wu Zi to help feed it when I was in Yangcheng. This time I left in a hurry, so I left it with a friend in Lingcheng."

"What friend?" In her impression, Zhou Tingshen lived alone in Lingcheng, and had never seen any friends.

Sure enough, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "A student funded by the Zhou family. She happens to be in Lingcheng. She likes cats and dogs, so I'll let her stay there."

Ye Qiao picked out a bream, which made people say: "The two little guys are quite troublesome to raise, do her parents agree?"

Zhou Tingshen carried the bagged fish with a price tag into the shopping cart: "Her mother used to be our aunt, but passed away for some reason, and her father is long gone, and now she lives alone."

Ye Qiao was taken aback, and said, "That's quite pitiful."

"En." Zhou Ting replied perfunctorily, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, "What else do you want to eat?"

Ye Qiao looked around: "Buy some vegetables. You can't eat meat anyway."

"It's okay, I'll watch you eat." Zhou Ting's deep and sharp smile spread across the end of his eyes.The two accommodated each other, and in the end the meat dishes they bought were all seafood.Ye Qiao carefully asked the merchant to take care of the fish belly before leaving the supermarket and went to the commercial building facing the street to buy a new mobile phone and wallet, and then went to the business hall to reapply for a mobile phone card, and finally returned with a full load.

After returning home, Ye Qiao went to her home and changed the door password back to a couple's account. After changing it, she felt that it was unnecessary, and said boldly: "I might as well just move there, and I can free up a room."

Of course Zhou Tingshen was willing, but she changed her mind and regretted it, and scolded him for being ill-intentioned.

However, the kitchen of her family is closed all year round, so the problem of dinner still has to be solved together.Zhou Tingshen moved the bought ingredients into his refrigerator. Ye Qiao brought back a lot of her couriers from the concierge, sat in his living room and dismantled them one by one. After dismantling a few, she gave up halfway and went to dismantle her new mobile phone.After inserting the SIM card, hundreds of messages popped up as soon as I logged on to WeChat.

The one at the front was Wen Shaoqian. After that incident, he was able to apologize to her smoothly and expressed his sincerity to continue to be friends.Ye Qiao laughed it off and ignored it.

Further down is the Mid-Autumn Festival greetings from Zheng Xishuo and others. She selected a few replies, and finally clicked on Shen Ting's message, which contained the precautions for her going to Lingcheng to film the ending scene of "The Watcher" the next day. Since it was a fire scene Ye Qiao watched the play twice carefully before replying, "Got it."

For this scene, she hurried back to Lingcheng, and promised Zhou Tingshen's family dinner that she could only break her promise.

Ye Qiao turned to look apologetically. The people in the open kitchen rolled up their snow-white shirt cuffs casually, and sliced ​​the potatoes into shreds with precision.The busy figure seemed to have sensed the temperature of her gaze, and suddenly turned around, smiling slightly at her.

His eyes are full of starlight, like a bright and quiet galaxy, making her want to turn into a star and place herself forever.
