At nearly seven o'clock in the morning, the great city of Beijing completely woke up from its slumber.
Although there is no traffic jam on the highway, there is gradually a steady flow of traffic.
On the human-shaped streets on both sides of the avenue, many people are walking, or going out to buy groceries, or going for a morning run, or buying breakfast...
Looking at this early morning scene in the city, Liu Yifei was not as tired as she had just returned from climbing the mountain, but was in high spirits.
But when she arrived at Donglin Villa, she was very interested in driving.
The roads in the community are relatively spacious and there are not many mobile people, so Chu Xuan agreed.
The two opened the door and got out of the car and exchanged seats. Liu Yifei got into the passenger seat. Chu Xuan's hand covered hers and taught her to shift into gear.
"This is first gear." Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand and pushed the gear shifter forward to the left.
"Slowly release the clutch and step on the accelerator," he added.
Liu Yifei did as she was told. When she saw the car moving, she felt a little nervous and excited, and her eyes were fixed on the road ahead.
Chu Xuan glanced at the dashboard and saw that the speed of the car was only 10 yards, so he said: "Speed up and shift to second gear."
"No, just first gear." Liu Yifei refused, but she actually didn't dare to drive too fast.
Chu Xuan raised his lips slightly and said nothing more. He could only watch the car slowly drive to the villa.
He used the remote control to open the iron door. Liu Yifei drove the car at a speed of 10 yards and turned, and stopped the car steadily in the parking space.
Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, turned her head to look at Chu Xuan, and said proudly: "Is that okay?"
Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up and said: "Awesome."
Liu Yifei showed her face slightly, opened the car door and got out of the car with Chu Xuan.
With two "bangs" in succession, the two car doors closed.
The two of them walked side by side towards the small villa. It was not as cool as in the early morning, but the weather was slightly warmer at this time.
Liu Yifei unzipped her coat, then reached out to hold Chu Xuan's arm.
When they opened the door and walked into the small villa, the two of them were startled. Liu Xiaoli was sitting on the sofa.
Liu Xiaoli usually gets up at half past seven. She has been doing this for several years. Now it is ten minutes before seven o'clock. Liu Xiaoli's appearance surprised the two of them.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli heard the noise and turned to look at them on the sofa.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli while walking towards the sofa.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoli smiled.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also laughed.
I don’t know what they are laughing at, but there is something meaningful and tacit between the two parties.
"I got up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the bathroom and found that Sissi was missing. I ran over to Chu Xuan to check on you, but you were gone too."
Hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei knew that they had been discovered.
Chu Xuan quickly came to the back of the sofa and stretched out his hands to squeeze Liu Xiaoli's shoulders.
Liu Yifei sat down next to her mother and beat her legs.
Seeing the attentiveness of the two children, Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said, "I guess you guys are going out to play. I don't want to disturb you by calling, but I'm worried, you know, and I haven't slept until now."
Liu Yifei beat her mother's legs and muttered: "We just went to climb down the mountain. We were afraid that if you knew about it, mother, you would arrange for bodyguards to follow us."
Liu Xiaoli looked at her and said: "With Chu Xuan here, I can rest assured. If you ever have such a thing in the future, please tell me, okay?"
"Definitely!" Chu Xuan said from behind her, squeezing his shoulders and saying, "I'm worried about auntie, so in order to make up for auntie's worries, I'll make breakfast today!"
Liu Xiaoli looked up at him and said, "Can you make breakfast?"
Her eyes were teasing, her tone was mocking, but there was a smile on her face.
"I can do it a hundred times." Chu Xuan said.
"Forget it." Liu Xiaoli was helpless.
She patted Chu Xuan's hand, and Chu Xuan removed his hands. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"You can eat it a hundred times, but I don't dare to eat it," she said.
After looking at her back as she walked into the kitchen, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at each other.
Liu Xiaoli discovered it and was still worried about it. The two of them still felt a little guilty.
But having said that, let’s not make another example. This can be regarded as an episode in the daily life of a family of three.
Liu Xiaoli quickly made breakfast, noodles with scallion oil.
A family of three sat at the dining table and ate together.
In Chu Xuan's eyes, Liu Xiaoli only picked up four or five noodles with chopsticks each time, slowly and leisurely; and Liu Yifei did the same, picking up two or three noodles with chopsticks, very elegantly.
As expected, the mother and daughter, who have been dependent on each other since childhood, are both carved from the same mold.
In line with the principle that one family should not enter the same house, Chu Xuan followed suit, picked up two noodles with chopsticks and ate them slowly.
Unexpectedly, this scene was captured by Liu Xiaoli opposite. Liu Yifei looked at her mother and looked at Chu Xuan.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing: "Chu Xuan, don't be shy, eat your noodles."
Chu Xuan replied: "I want to learn your elegance."
Liu Yifei patted Chu Xuan, laughed with her mother, and was amused by Chu Xuan.
After a burst of joy, Liu Xiaoli said: "Last night, your sister Hua told me something. Do you want to go to "A Date with Luyu"?"
Do you have an appointment with Lu Yu?
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were startled and turned their heads to look at each other.
"Exclusive interview?" Liu Yifei took a bite of the fried egg in the noodle soup, eating only the egg white as usual, and then gave the yolk to Chu Xuan.
"Yes, just you two." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "Teacher Chen has invited you many times, starting from "Sword of Immortal"."
"Teacher Chen?" Liu Yifei was confused.
"Lu Yu's surname is Chen." Liu Xiaoli said.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded suddenly.
Liu Xiaoli continued: "It's just that Sissi was not yet an adult at the time, so your sister Hua helped you push it. Later, when you were in production and couldn't spare time, sister Hua also helped you push it."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded. Last year, they heard from Sister Hua that they had many interview invitations, but they turned them down because they really didn’t have time.
""The Condor" is so popular, you must accept an exclusive interview. What I mean to you, Sister Hua, is that "A Date with Lu Yu" is the most popular talk show in the country. Instead of accepting exclusive interviews from other media, it is better
This program is CCTV’s flagship talk show after all, and its publicity resources and ratings are guaranteed.”
Hearing what her mother said, Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan: "Are you going?"
Chu Xuan glanced back at her: "I don't care."
Liu Yifei smoothed her hair and said, "I heard that Teacher Chen's interviews are very tricky."
Liu Xiaoli glanced at the two people opposite her and said, "With your personalities, what tricky questions are you afraid to answer?"
Hearing their mother's teasing words, Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"When?" Chu Xuan asked, eating the egg yolk Liu Yifei gave him in one bite.
Liu Xiaoli ate her noodles and said: "It will be at least a month from now. This show is very popular and artists have to schedule their petitions."
Liu Xiaoli put down her chopsticks and said, "If you are willing to go, I will contact you later."
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Go ahead. I happened to do the interview before graduation. I guess I won't have time after graduation."
Liu Yifei nodded and said: "Then go."
Seeing that the two children agreed, Liu Xiaoli changed the topic again.
"There is also the matter of endorsements. Your sister Hua and I discussed it last night. Originally, your sister Hua suggested that one of the three levels of endorsements be high, medium and low, but I think you can also take it if there is a game endorsement.
."she says.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked up at her, waiting for her to continue.
"The high-end ones are watches, priced at 5 million per person per year, with a five-year contract; the mid-range ones are clothing, priced at 4.5 million per person per year, with a three-year contract; the low-end ones are milk tea, priced at 4.2 million per person per year, with a three-year contract."
Liu Xiaoli said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their eyebrows. Compared with the 3 million a year they earned from Micro Entertainment endorsements before the broadcast of "The Condor", their worth has skyrocketed a lot.
"This is your sister Hua's suggestion. I looked at the corresponding merchants and they are all pretty good. They are all brands."
"But there is another game endorsement that I think I can accept. It is Shengda's "Kart Runner". It is a new game that was just released this month. They want to use your popularity to open up the market of this game in a short time."
"Game developers have always been very generous. One person is paid 6 million a year and the contract is for three years."
"Wow, 6 million a year!" Liu Yifei sighed.
"Game developers have a lot of money, and they also have cash flow." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Xiaoli nodded. She only knew after reading the information given by Wang Jinhua that the money players recharge is cash flow. She wouldn't know it without looking at the information. She was shocked when she saw that domestic game companies are really rich.
"Take it." Chu Xuan said, and said to Liu Yifei: "We are going to invest together at the end of the year. Let's get more funds first."
Liu Yifei nodded slightly. Chu Xuan told her that she wanted to invest in web games. Although she doesn't understand it yet, Chu Xuan said that the time has not come yet, and they will study and research together when the time comes.
Liu Xiaoli heard the two children whisper something about investment, and she felt happy. It seemed that she didn't know some of the plans of the two children for the future.
She didn't worry about it for the time being and naturally supported it.
"Okay, then I will help you contact and arrange the schedule, and try to get it done within a few days, so as not to delay the post-production of your two film and television dramas," she said.
"Thank you, Mom!" Liu Yifei finished eating the noodles and put down her chopsticks.
"Let's go play." She raised her eyebrows at Chu Xuan.
"Auntie, let's go over there." Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand and walked toward the door.
Seeing the two children just playing, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but remind her: "Don't go crazy, you should also read the script of "Struggle"."
"I know!" Liu Yifei's voice came from outside.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head, looking like there was nothing she could do against them.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to the big villa and began their aimless play.
For the past six months, although the two of them have been together every day, they have spent most of their time focusing on their common cause and rarely let go to have fun.
Now that we finally have time to rest, we must of course enjoy the life with each other.
Perhaps because they wanted to reminisce about their childishness, in the dance function room on the first floor, the two of them sat opposite each other on the yoga mat, with a chessboard specially designed for primary school students - "Monopoly" in the middle.
This was Liu Yifei's suggestion and she bought it in a small shop when she came back in the morning.
On the colorful plastic chessboard, there are two conical plastic chess pieces, one blue and one red.
Liu Yifei dropped the dice and walked forward with the red chess piece. Seeing that she was only one step away from the finish line, Chu Xuan dropped the dice and won the next round.
Liu Yifei glanced at Chu Xuan, who raised his eyebrows with a joking "I'm going to win" look in his eyes.
Liu Yifei pursed her lips, moved her eyes, and said: "The heavenly official has blessed me with a girl named Liu Yifei. She is naturally beautiful and blessed with profound blessings. She is specially rewarded for taking one step forward."
Liu Yifei took the chess pieces and placed them in their respective ends. She looked up at Chu Xuan and said, "I won."
Chu Xuan was already laughing so hard that he lay back and collapsed on the yoga mat.
"You witch, how did you come up with this word?"
"Blessed by heavenly officials? Naturally beautiful? Deep blessings?"
"You are so cultured at cheating?"
"No, let me laugh for a while."
Seeing Chu Xuan laughing like a fool, Liu Yifei couldn't help it, sat on him and started slapping him.
Both of them looked overjoyed, holding each other's hands and twisting them, neither one could do anything to the other.
At this moment, they were like children, bursting out full of childish fun, which was also their unique fun among lovers.
"One more game!"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat back down and started the board game again.
You threw the dice back and forth, and after a few minutes, it was Chu Xuan's turn to lose this time.
Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei's chess piece in front of his chess piece on the chessboard. He looked up at Liu Yifei and suddenly made a "poof" sound and said: "Heavenly Official's blessing..."
"No!" Liu Yifei was so happy that she stretched out her hand to stop it: "It's not working!"
Chu Xuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he said: "Why is your spirit not working and mine not working?"
"I have the final say!" Liu Yifei said with her hands on her hips and her eyes bulging.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you win."
Liu Yifei looked happy. Although they only played two games of chess, only they knew the joy and could deeply feel it. It was really fun.
Seeing that Chu Xuan kept letting her go, she was so happy that she gave Chu Xuan a heavy kiss.
Their lips parted, Chu Xuan reached out and pinched her face, and said: "Change the activity. You have the blessing of the heavenly official for this activity, I can't win."
Liu Yifei was instantly happy. After she calmed down, she asked, "Singing?"
"Let's go." Chu Xuan stood up and said.
Liu Yifei sat on the ground, looked up at Chu Xuan, opened her hands towards him: "Hug me."
Chu Xuan bent down, put one hand around the back of Liu Yifei's neck, and held Liu Yifei's legs with the other hand, and picked up the princess.
Liu Yifei wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder.
Just like that, the two people came to the big living room.
Chu Xuan put Liu Yifei down and went to close the curtains. Liu Yifei turned on the karaoke machine and took out two microphones.
After everything was ready, singing came from the KTV belonging to the two of them.
Liu Yifei sang to Chu Xuan: ["When your eyes are narrowed and you smile."]
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other: ["I treat you as a quarrel when you drink Coke."]
Liu Yifei:【"I want to be good to you."】
Chu Xuan:【"You never knew."】
Liu Yifei stretched out a hand, and Chu Xuan reached out to hold it. The two smiled slightly and sang together: "Missing you can also become a hobby."
This song is "When You" by Cyndi Wang. When Chu Xuan celebrated his 20th birthday on the set of "New Police Story", Liu Yifei gave him a surprise.
Chu Xuan originally couldn't sing this song, but Liu Yifei liked it, and he later took the time to learn it.
Turn dislike into like, and then like what you like, which will bring each other's hearts closer and make the beautiful memories more profound and lasting.
"Can you dance tango?" Liu Yifei asked a song.
"No." Chu Xuan shook his head.
"Come! I'll teach you!" Liu Yifei played a song on the karaoke machine and jumped up to Chu Xuan.
Under Liu Yifei's guidance, she put one hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder, and one of Chu Xuan's hands held her waist. The fingers of their other hands were clasped together and stretched to one side.
"Toe to toe, move in the same direction simultaneously, with one step spanning at least 180 centimeters."
Playing on the screen is "One Step Away", a world-class violin masterpiece.
Under the guidance of Liu Yifei, Chu Xuan danced tango with her.
Although he is not skilled in it, the physical benefits brought by the performance also allow him to dance with style.
Amidst the intoxicating music of the piano, a pair of lovers danced in the living room, looking at each other as if they wanted to see through each other and blend into each other.
This is a gameplay they have never tried before, and the full freshness brings a stronger love.
After singing and dancing for a while, the two of them got tired.
After thinking about it for a while, I ran to the second floor to watch a movie.
This time I stopped watching horror movies. The shadow of yesterday still lingered in my heart, so they both felt that they should take it easy for now.
What is playing is "Home Alone", a very good children's comedy.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa, with Liu Yifei leaning in Chu Xuan's arms and Chu Xuan hugging her tightly. They each held a cup of coffee in their hands, but they almost laughed out loud at the comedy plot in the movie.
In the evening, Liu Xiaoli cooked a dinner. After the two had a delicious meal, they went to the big sofa in the big villa and read the script of "Struggle".
Life must always be self-disciplined and a perfect balance between work and rest.
Since they have a villa and a home together, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei seem to have slowly found their own rhythm of life, their happy time, and the vitality and youth they deserve.
Just like that, playing as much as possible during the day and reading the script at night, a week passed quickly.
Sister Hua called and they had to start their work again.
However, unlike before, they have found their own rhythm of life, and they feel that even if they continue to work, they can find their happiness outside of work.
