On the shore of the lake in the community, next to the carved stone railings, there were big trees every two or three meters under the shade. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were walking leisurely.
The young couple blew the occasional breeze with the faint earthy smell of the lake, bathed in the warm light shining through the gaps between the leaves, and enjoyed the pleasant time in the afternoon. They were also taking more souvenirs near home before leaving.
.
"Ah, a big fish jumped out, jumping so high." Liu Yifei suddenly saw a fish jumping out of the lake out of the corner of her eye, which made her eyes sparkle with interest.
Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at the lake. The fish had already jumped into the water, and the ripples caused by the water had dissipated. The lake was calm, with only the dark green water plants faintly visible under the sunlight: "Where are they?"
"Going down." Liu Yifei said.
Chu Xuan pursed his lips: "As expected..."
"As expected of Liu Chenyu, the fish will sink as soon as it comes, right?" Liu Yifei interrupted Chu Xuan's words and looked at Chu Xuan with bulging eyes: "What a shame."
Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei told him what he wanted to say in advance and even complained about it.
Chu Xuan let go of the hand holding Liu Yifei's hand, went around her back and hugged her waist, and tickled her along the way: "I find that your mouth is getting sharper and sharper."
Liu Yifei smiled and the soreness in her waist made her twist her body slightly, skipping and jumping to the side of the tree. She blinked her right eye at Chu Xuan in an odd way, as if to say: "Then
So what? Is there anything you can do against me?"
Seeing this cute look, Chu Xuan shook his head, his eyes were full of softness, as if to say: "There is nothing I can do, as long as you are happy."
Liu Yifei seemed to understand what Chu Xuan meant, she snorted arrogantly, jumped back to Chu Xuan, took his hand, and the two of them continued walking forward.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, are you taking a walk?"
"Yes."
A Porsche passed by slowly. In the driver's seat was a fashionably dressed woman with yellow curly hair. The villa was in the same area as the young couple's villa, and they were often seen occasionally.
People living in this area are either rich or noble, and they used to be very polite to each other when they met. It would be an unexpected blessing if we could establish any relationship, and we could be considered half-neighbors.
She greeted the young couple through the open car window, and after seeing Liu Yifei's reply, she was about to step on the accelerator and move forward.
It's just that the sports car drove forward for a certain distance and then suddenly stalled. The next moment it started with a "boom", but it stopped suddenly after not going very far. After a few seconds, it started again, but it stalled again before going very far.
In the eyes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the woman kicked the sports car after getting out of the car, took out her mobile phone from her expensive bag, and the young couple vaguely heard: "Husband, what kind of garbage truck did you buy..."
"She must have forgotten to press the clutch. When she stepped on the accelerator, the car drove forward for a short distance and then suddenly stalled." Chu Xuan suppressed a smile.
Liu Yifei was speechless and rested her forehead on Chu Xuan's shoulder with great joy: "With this skill, I dare to drive a sports car."
"I even suspected that she didn't have a driver's license. I saw her driving and almost hit a tree some time ago." Chu Xuan was speechless as he recalled the scene he saw some time ago.
"Let's turn around, don't let her see." Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's hand and turned to face the lake, not letting the woman see them laughing, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
The young couple faced the lake, but their peripheral vision was aimed at the streets of the community not far away.
The woman kept talking on the phone. As the call lasted longer and longer, the woman's face lost the arrogance of complaining and gradually became embarrassed. She probably found out from her husband that she didn't step on the clutch.
.
The woman got back into the car, and this time it went smoothly without stalling again.
It wasn't until the Porsche disappeared at the corner of the street that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei turned sideways and continued walking.
"It's so dangerous, but her husband doesn't care." Liu Yifei shook her head.
"I have reason to speculate that this woman is probably not the wife of the husband she talks about." Chu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Liu Yifei was startled, is that the mistress?
She patted Chu Xuan and said, "Don't make random guesses and don't care about our business."
Chu Xuan nodded and said no more on this topic.
The two of them walked to the end of the lakeshore, climbed a hurdle onto the street, and prepared to turn right and follow the street of the community.
The weather was very good today. When Liu Yifei walked onto the street and lost the shade of the leaves, her whole body was illuminated by the sun. She couldn't help but look up and face the shining sun, enjoying the warmth of the spring.
The coldness brought by the winter for several consecutive months gradually turned into the breath of spring, which made Liu Yifei enjoy it very much. Being accompanied by her beloved also made her feel very happy.
The thought of leaving tomorrow made her cherish her leisure time even more.
"Grandma Yang is watering the flowers, let's go take a look." Liu Yifei looked at the villa nearby. Through the gap in the black iron fence, she could see that the yard of the villa was full of spring scenery, and all kinds of flowers were shining in the sun.
Overflowing with color, such beautiful things attracted her eyes.
Chu Xuan was pulled forward by Liu Yifei and came to the fence of the villa.
The person who was watering the flowers was an old woman. Since Liu Xiaoli often met this old woman when she went shopping for vegetables, although the relationship between the two families was not very close, they were not strangers and they often communicated with each other on weekdays.
The old woman is over seventy years old, but her hair is only half a hundred years old, and her relatively agile pace in watering the flowers shows that she is still in good health.
"Grandma Yang." Liu Yifei waved her hand.
Grandma Yang was holding a kettle in her hand. When she heard someone calling, she straightened up while watering the flowers: "Hey, Sissy, Xiaoxuan, aren't you busy today?"
Liu Yifei shook her head: "I'm not busy. If the weather is nice, I'll go out for a walk."
"It's good to take a walk, young people should take more walks." Grandma Yang said kindly, bending over and continuing to water the flowers.
The old lady loved flowers very much, and she would often show them off when her neighbors stopped to admire them.
Even when facing two young people, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, she still said the same thing: "Look, how do Grandma Yang's flowers look like?"
"It's so beautiful." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, looking at different types of flowers with admiring eyes: "Grandma Yang, is this a maidenhair flower?"
There is a plant hanging on the fence. Its stems and leaves are as dense as a "Christmas tree" and it is covered with densely packed small flowers.
"Yes." Grandma Yang nodded slightly.
"This is honeysuckle, that is rose." Liu Yifei also knows a little bit about flowers. When Liu Xiaoli was adding scenery to the villa, she also spent some time with her mother for reference.
The honeysuckle is yellow with white in it. The leaves are larger than the flowers and the filaments are curved as if they have been permed. From a distance, they look like balls of plush. Only when you look up close can you clearly see its beauty.
The rose is purple in color, and the flowers are larger than the leaves. People who don't know them would think that the flowers are blooming roses, because the inner rings of the petals are very similar to roses. Since they are similar to roses, they are naturally very beautiful.
"Yes, Sissi is so smart." Grandma Yang praised.
Liu Yifei and Grandma Yang exchanged flowers while observing Grandma Yang's movements.
Grandma Yang’s son was very rich, so he bought her a luxurious villa here in order to provide her with a comfortable place to live in her old age.
However, her son was too busy with his career and only visited Grandma Yang once every month. Normally, Grandma Yang lived alone at home, and the nanny she hired was rejected by Grandma Yang because she had both hands and feet.
In her eyes, she often saw Grandma Yang sitting alone in the yard in a daze. She only smiled when she watered the flowers every day. She only showed true happiness when someone came to admire the flowers.
In her understanding, people need companionship and a sense of presence.
Since there is no one to accompany her, Grandma Yang will be in a daze in the yard.
Because only when she watered the flowers, she was accompanied by flowers, so Grandma Yang felt happy when she watered the flowers.
Because someone appreciates these flowers, and the flowers were cultivated by Grandma Yang, Grandma Yang will find a sense of existence at this time, and she will be happy from the bottom of her heart.
When she had this understanding, she often wondered whether her mother had the most contact with Grandma Yang, and whether her mother had also realized something. So after moving into the villa, she became more and more active in studying with Sister Hua, and tried hard to get along with her and her.
Can Chu Xuan find more sense of existence and prevent himself from becoming a "useless" person when he grows old?
This is just her little guess, and the specific situation is unknown, but with her and Chu Xuan here, how could she make her mother "useless"?
Be happy forever and communicate until the end, this is happiness.
The insights gained from Grandma Yang also gave her and Chu Xuan a more mature perspective on acting.
People are changing at every stage. How to interpret these changes to bring different real feelings to the audience?
Perhaps just like Grandma Yang, just sitting alone in the yard in a daze, just smiling while watering the flowers will make the onlookers have mixed feelings.
Art comes from life. Although this statement is not comprehensive, it has some truth.
The young couple talked more to Grandma Yang, which made Grandma Yang very happy.
After waving goodbye to Grandma Yang, they strolled out of the community.
"White Rabbit!" Liu Yifei pointed to the store at the entrance of the community. The stall under the awning at the entrance of the store was full of White Rabbit toffee, which was her favorite.
Chu Xuan and her took a dozen bags from the stall, enough to eat in America for a while.
The boss is also acquainted with them, after all, he often comes to buy things.
Under the enthusiastic attitude of the boss, Liu Yifei happily walked out with Chu Xuan with her bag in hand.
The moment she walked out of the store, Liu Yifei immediately opened a pack, took out two toffee, and handed one to Chu Xuan. After the two peeled off the package, they ate the toffee along with the transparent edible film in their mouths.
Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's hand and turned to go home.
"Wait a minute." Chu Xuan led Liu Yifei towards a van.
Liu Yifei was pulled by Chu Xuan and turned around. She looked at the direction Chu Xuan was going and saw the van. Isn't this the paparazzi's car?
"What do you want to do?" she asked curiously.
"I have nothing to do anyway, and my aunt and sister haven't come back yet. Let's chat with them." Chu Xuan wanted to chat with the paparazzi to pass the time.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei chewed the toffee carefully with a smile on her lips.
In the van, the two siblings, Cao Mei and Cao Ping, were sitting in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger seat. They were both drowsy.
In the corner of Cao Ping's blurred sleepy eyes, he suddenly saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei approaching, and he suddenly woke up.
"Sister." He patted Cao Mei and shouted hurriedly: "Sister!"
Cao Mei woke up, shook her head from side to side, and said confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Cao Ping pointed out the driver's seat window: "Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are here."
Cao Mei turned her head in shock and saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei coming out of the window. She felt baffled. Although Chu Xuan often greeted them teasingly in the past, he could only greet them with gestures or glances. He had never met face to face.
We had an exchange, where is this coming from today?
"You're not looking for trouble because of Xia Yu, are you?" Cao Ping sounded a little timid.
Cao Mei rolled her eyes at him: "Looking for trouble in broad daylight? Do you think Chu Xuan is a fool? He doesn't want his image anymore? Besides, it's been so long since Xia Yu's incident, Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua didn't bother us, maybe they didn't know it was
What we did, we are not the only team around this community."
"Yes." Cao Ping nodded and scratched his head: "Then what are they here for?"
Cao Mei didn't have time to say anything. Through the window, she saw Chu Xuan knocking on the car window.
Although she didn't know Chu Xuan's purpose, Cao Mei still reached out and rolled down the car window: "Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, hello, what can I do?"
"It's okay. I came here to chat with you when I was bored." Chu Xuan shook his head, bent slightly and put his hands on the car window, as if he was familiar with them.
Seeing Chu Xuan's familiar behavior, Cao Mei moved her buttocks and sat to the side. Chu Xuan looked sunny and handsome, but there was a sense of oppression that made her feel a little palpitated.
"If my memory is correct, except for the month or two when Liu Yifei and I lived here, it seems like you have never been with us?" Chu Xuan asked casually.
Cao Mei and Cao Ping didn't know why Chu Xuan asked this question, but they each thought about it and nodded slightly.
"Why don't you follow us?" Chu Xuan asked curiously.
The siblings opened their mouths, but were speechless for a moment.
Is this Chu Xuan really here to chat?
Or are you just chatting with us paparazzi?
Don’t you celebrities hate paparazzi the most?
You act so friendly, it makes me a little scared.
Cao Mei pursed her lips and glanced at Chu Xuan: "It was okay to secretly take photos of you on the road at first. Many media and newspapers accepted them, but you are all aboveboard wherever you go. The audience will be too harsh on you after seeing too much.
Don’t worry, although your road photos will still be discussed over time, they will not be as popular as before.”
Chu Xuan nodded and understood: "In other words, our road photos are worthless?"
Liu Yifei was listening nearby and found it very interesting.
Cao Mei didn't expect that Chu Xuan was so real and said what she didn't dare to say. She nodded and said, "It can be understood."
Chu Xuan asked again: "If it's not valuable, why are there still so many paparazzi following us?"
Cao Mei pursed her lips: "Don't even think about it. The paparazzi still following you is definitely a newcomer, because you don't cover up wherever you go. It's best to give the newcomers some practice."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, secretly filming him and Liu Yifei practicing?
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, finding it very interesting.
"Of course, there should still be veterans. If I catch some of your hot spots, I'll make a lot of money." Cao Mei added.
"Let me ask again, was it you who secretly photographed Xia Yu?" Chu Xuan asked curiously.
Cao Mei and Cao Ping shrank, and Cao Ping couldn't help but said, "What do you want to do?"
Cao Mei was startled and glared at her younger brother Cao Ping with hatred, "You coward, aren't you just asking for trouble by answering like this?"
Chu Xuan smiled, knowing that he was asking the right person, and continued to ask: "How did you get the photo? Xia Yu was definitely very secretive when he did this kind of thing, and you guys stay here every day without moving, so even if you follow him all the way, you may not get the photo, right?
?”
Cao Mei lowered her head and thought. Seeing that Chu Xuan's attitude didn't seem to be asking for trouble, she thought about whether to answer Chu Xuan's question.
Anyway, the answer was nothing, so she replied: "This industry is not easy to work in. Each team has at least one person and as many as four or five people. It is impossible to follow all the stars in the country."
"So we have created many groups. If we meet other celebrities while following, we will send this resource to the group and give it to our peers. If there is anything in return, we will give the discoverer some money."
"Okay." Chu Xuan praised: "They are quite united and know how to share."
Cao Mei and Cao Ping were stunned by Chu Xuan's praise.
Mr. Chu, are you here to learn from experience?
"Then how can we guarantee that the discoverer will definitely get the money? Are we not afraid that the person who gets the reward will run away?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Cao Mei shook her head: "This is our unspoken rule. If you want to hang out, everyone will abide by and uphold it."
"Okay, you have formed an orderly system." Chu Xuan nodded, pulled Liu Yifei and turned around to leave: "Interesting."
Cao Mei and Cao Ping looked at the two people leaving and blinked.
In their opinion, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the only big stars in the country who can chat calmly with their paparazzi.
Sure enough, celebrities who are upright and not afraid of slanted shadows are fearless. Chu Xuan, who is at the top of the capital market, just doesn't take the ordinary path. No one else can match this pattern.
