The shooting plan has been completed, and Chu Xuan originally wanted to stay in Star City for one more day to get together with He Jiong and Xie Na.
But Liu Yifei was coming back early, so he had no idea of staying any longer, so he flew back to the capital from Star City with Wen Mino and his friends the next morning.
In the capital, it is already noon.
On the avenue, a nanny car followed the traffic and walked through the traffic jam.
With the Olympics around the corner and summer vacation approaching, the biggest spectacle in the history of the capital is more grand than ever.
Netizens in Beijing are debating on Weibo these days: Is it the highway congestion on the second ring road, the highway congestion on the third ring road, or the highway congestion on the fourth ring road?
Is the city center the most congested, the Chaoyang District the most congested, or the HD District the most congested?
Is it a blockage in front of Tiananmen Square, a blockage in the Summer Palace, or a blockage on the Great Wall?
When foreign netizens flipped through the topic page, my dear, people in the capital said there were countless places where there were traffic jams. They could only sum it up in one sentence: There are traffic jams everywhere.
"Please don't come to the capital! We strongly urge relevant departments to not only restrict numbers, but also restrict people!"
This sentence circulating on the Internet is enough to show that the current flow of people and traffic in Beijing has exploded.
But from Chu Xuan's point of view, it's okay. The capital already has a high population density, and he doesn't think it makes much difference if there are more domestic and foreign tourists than before.
On the contrary, compared with the hot weather in Star City, the temperature of 20 degrees in Beijing is much milder. Even if the nanny car does not turn on the air conditioner, it will not be very hot. What if you try to drive in Star City without turning on the air conditioner? You need to take a shower for safekeeping.
Sweat bath.
"Brother, let's go first." The nanny car stopped in front of the office building where Bright Times Film and Television Company is located. Wen Muye and his party got out of the car and greeted Chu Xuan.
"Brothers, thank you again." Chu Xuan said. In order to help him, these brothers spared more than a month to travel around the country with him, which made him very grateful.
"Mr. Chu, you're welcome, but the food and drinks along the way cost you a lot of money," the cameraman Xiao Wen said.
"Hey, this is a small matter, you are lucky." Chu Xuan said to Wen Muye: "Kino, the editing is up to you, please, this is your senior brother's lifelong event."
"Senior Brother, what you're saying is that the USB flash drive in my pocket seems to weigh a thousand pounds." Wen Muye joked, and then said: "It's just about ten or twenty short clips. It doesn't take much time to edit. Let's see.
Senior brother, I've edited it and sent it to your email. If you don't like it, tell me and I'll re-edit it."
"Okay, thank you." Chu Xuan agreed, and Wen Muye waved goodbye to each other.
Seeing them turn and leave, Chu Xuan closed the door of the nanny car: "Brother Yang, go to Wangfujing."
After hearing what Chu Xuan said, the driver, Brother Yang, drove up the road towards Wangfujing.
My mother-in-law advised me that a proposal ring is equivalent to an engagement ring, and an engagement ring and a wedding ring are completely different.
The wedding ring is a ring that men and women need to exchange. It has a greater meaning and symbol than a proposal. It is a lifelong love affair.
In the process of proposing, the engagement ring is intended to confirm the woman's willingness to accept it. It is a ring given unilaterally by the man to the woman and is a token of love.
The wedding ring needs to be customized, but the engagement ring is less necessary, because the woman will not wear the engagement ring in the future and will only keep it as a keepsake.
After learning about this situation from his mother-in-law, he asked Sister Hua to help him find a suitable ring for proposal before returning to China.
The place he was looking for a ring was the one he mentioned, which was the store where he and Liu Yifei went shopping last year and bought a pair of Buddha and Guanyin jade pendants in Wangfujing.
That store only sells jade. It stands to reason that most people would use gold, silver or diamond jewelry for marriage proposals. But last year he went to that store to look at the jade. The unique carving technique and the cultural connotation of jade deeply attracted him.
I will always remember this store in my heart.
"Look to the right, the brown RV..." Chu Xuan was on the phone in the car, directing the landlady to come over.
There are too many people in Wangfujing Commercial Street. If he is just shopping, he doesn't care. He just comes to see the engagement ring, so he'd better keep a low profile. If there is any news about buying a ring, the secret will be exposed directly.
The driver, Brother Yang, opened the door, and the proprietress of the jade shop came up with several jewelry boxes.
"Boss Li, we met again, do you still recognize me?" Chu Xuan stood up and said hello.
Boss Li, who is nearly 40 years old, looks like a wealthy man who takes good care of himself. His smile makes him look younger, but he looks about 30 years old: "I know you even if I don't meet you. I'm also a fan of yours."
She shook hands with Chu Xuan: "Last year when you came to the store, you asked me about the wedding suit. I knew that something good was coming for you. As expected, I came this year. Thank you very much, Chu Xuan, for your willingness to take care of my store."
Chu Xuan extended his hand and asked her to take a seat: "I was attracted by the jade culture in Boss Li's shop."
"This is fate." Boss Li sat down on the sofa opposite Chu Xuan and said, "When Mr. Wang came, she didn't know what jade ring to use to propose. After all, most people nowadays use gold, silver or diamonds.
Jewelry, so let me recommend it.”
Chu Xuan said: "When it comes to commemorative things, I don't like things that follow the crowd, because they will look very similar. I prefer unique things."
Boss Li put three jewelry boxes on the sofa next to him: "Not many men have the same thoughts to treat women as you do. It can be seen that you love Liu Yifei very much,"
Chu Xuan and her looked at each other and smiled, then watched her open the three jewelry boxes respectively.
Boss Li introduced respectively: "This is high-quality Hetian jade, this is high-quality ruby, and this is high-quality green jade. Based on your identity, I make the decision to recommend three jade rings for you to propose. If you are not satisfied with me
I’ll go back and help you figure it out.”
"Which one is the best here?" Chu Xuan asked. As a layman, he couldn't understand this at all, so he simply asked directly. It seemed like it was just a waste of time.
"This green jadeite." Boss Li pointed.
Seeing green jade, Chu Xuan immediately thought of a water species: "Is this imperial green?"
Boss Li laughed dumbly and couldn't help but laugh: "Chu Xuan, the wedding ring is at least one grade higher than the engagement ring. If you propose with an imperial green ring, what will you use to get married?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing what Boss Li said, Chu Xuan also knew that this was not the imperial green. He shook his head and said: "I don't know how to do it. I'm sorry, but I want to ask, is there anything better than the imperial green?"
Is green jade better?"
Boss Li was stunned. Is this Chu Xuan so arrogant? Even the imperial green can't satisfy his demands?
She said: "Ordinary purple jade is not as good as green jade, but the amount of top-quality purple jade unearthed since ancient times has always been less than that of imperial green jade. This kind of purple jade is called imperial purple in the industry, and it is more expensive than imperial green."
Purple jade?...Chu Xuan's eyes lit up, didn't Liu Yifei like purple the most?
Seeing Chu Xuan's face beaming with joy, Boss Li asked: "Mr. Chu, you don't want to propose with an imperial purple jade ring, do you?"
Chu Xuan looked at her: "Boss Li, is it feasible to use imperial purple jadeite to create a set of jewelry, including hairpins, earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets?"
Boss Li opened her mouth and was so surprised that she could stuff an egg into it. She endured her shock and said, "Chu Xuan, this is imperial purple jade. If you want to create a set of jewelry, the demand will be quite large. If I give it to you
If you say a conservative estimate of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, what would you say?"
"Money is not an issue." Chu Xuan said.
Boss Li stopped talking. What does it mean to be arrogant? This is it.
The driver, Brother Yang, raised his hand to wipe his face. It would cost hundreds of millions to buy a set of jewelry to get married, which made him speechless.
"Except for buying a house, I have never spent too much money. Whether I can spend so much money in the future is also a question." Chu Xuan said: "If spending money can buy something unique once in a lifetime, then I think it is spent wisely.
Up."
Boss Li patted his thigh. Even though she was nearly 40 years old, she couldn't help but be envious: "Liu Yifei is so happy."
"Happiness has nothing to do with money, it mainly depends on your heart." Chu Xuan said with a smile.
Boss Li said "Hey", sighed, and said nothing more. Talking too much would only deepen his envy.
She said: "If it's just imperial green jade, I have several channels, but for imperial purple, you can only go to a big auction house. I can help you find an intermediary to keep an eye on the market, and once I find something available, I'll help you auction it on your behalf.
After taking the photo, you just go to the spot to pay and pay an extra one or two points of transaction fee to the agent."
She stared at Chu Xuan closely and said eagerly: "I just hope that if you really get the imperial purple, you can give it to our shop to make wedding jewelry for you, with brand guarantee and exquisite craftsmanship."
Chu Xuan smiled: "It's good that Boss Li has channels. I will definitely discuss the wedding jewelry with her. I will talk to Boss Li about this matter after we have discussed it."
"Yes, such a big matter must be discussed." Boss Li nodded. He was a little disappointed without Chu Xuan's affirmative answer, but he immediately calmed down and asked: "What about Chu Xuan, the proposal ring...?"
Seeing Chu Xuan looking at the jades in the jewelry box, Chu Xuan's eyes were mainly focused on Hetian jade and rubies, which made Boss Li a little depressed: "Chu Xuan, you don't like green jade?"
She added: "Actually, if you use imperial green to make wedding jewelry, it is not much worse than imperial purple, and it is relatively easy to obtain."
Chu Xuan glanced at the green jadeite and said: "Emperor green makes wedding jewelry... When I think about her wearing green all over, I feel very uncomfortable no matter how I think about it."
Boss Li looked confused, then put his forehead on his head and laughed.
The driver, Brother Yang, was lying on the steering wheel and couldn't laugh or cry. How could such a precious imperial green jade have changed in the eyes of Mr. Chu? Its meaning and value were simply downgraded.
Boss Li was so amused by Chu Xuan that he said: "Chu Xuan, your words will be heard by those experts, be careful they scold you."
Chu Xuan shook his head. He was not in this industry. He didn't know the skills. Whether he liked it or not depended on his feelings and preferences.
Liu Yifei likes purple, so he wanted imperial purple.
Even though green jadeite is valuable, he doesn't like the color very much.
"Just ruby." Chu Xuan pointed, making a decision between hotan jade and ruby.
"Are you sure?" Boss Li confirmed.
"That's it." Chu Xuan confirmed.
The white color of Hetian jade symbolizes auspiciousness and warmth, while the crimson color of ruby is more like the vigorous love between him and Liu Yifei. Using it as a proposal ring is more in line with the love token of young people in the stage of marriage proposal.
The thing still needs to be polished and the ring is polished. He communicated with Boss Li to pick it up in August. After paying a deposit, Chu Xuan asked the driver, Brother Yang, to drive to Donglin Villa.
At this point, the documentary has entered the editing stage, the engagement ring has entered the preparation stage, and all that is left is to arrange the proposal scene in the villa.
But Liu Yifei is about to return to China. Will she be sent to New Haven after the Olympics on August 8? Will she wait until August 25 to return to China for her birthday?
This is definitely not possible, the time difference is too short, there is really no good reason to go abroad and return to China, and Liu Yifei definitely doesn't want to, unless she goes to New Haven to celebrate her birthday.
It was not feasible to go to New Haven to celebrate her birthday. The relatives and friends who came to witness the proposal were all in China, including the fans.
Why don't you propose in the villa and find another place?
This doesn't work, Liu Yifei is back, then the two of them must be inseparable again, and the situation will be the same no matter where they propose.
This is going to be troublesome again...Chu Xuan can't think of a plan right now, he can only see the time and it will depend on the situation.
Seeing the vehicle arrive at the door of his villa, Chu Xuan took his luggage, got up and got out of the car: "Brother Yang, I'll wait for you."
"Okay." Driver Yang Ge said.
Chu Xuan originally wanted to go back to the airport directly, but after calculating the time, he found that he had more time. The house had to be cleaned after being away from home for a month, so he simply called the housekeeper.
A month away from home is better than a month away from home in April or May. The housekeepers had already done a thorough cleaning a month ago. This time they only need to do a simple cleaning. After the mother-in-law and Sissi come home, they can just move in with their bags.
.
"Zijian."
"Brother Chu."
The key and password to the home are with Sister Hua, and Sister Hua is still at the company, so Chu Xuan can only go home in person.
There is always someone to guard the housekeeping, and he has to rush to the airport to pick up Sissy soon. Dong Zijian, who does not go to school on weekends, becomes the best candidate for the housekeeping task.
"Where's your dad?"
"Work in the kitchen to prepare the meal and wait for you to come for dinner in the evening."
Mother-in-law and Sissi returned to China today, and he also happened to return to Beijing. As always, Sister Hua invited the three of them to her home for dinner.
"Come on, help me get my luggage in. I'm too lazy to take off my shoes. Just sit in the living room on the first floor and watch TV. The housekeeping aunts will come over soon. Just let them clean. It will take two or three hours.
It will be done at six or seven o'clock."
"Okay, brother Chu, don't worry, my dad said he would come over from time to time to inspect."
"Then I'll leave first and pick up your sister-in-law, Sissi."
After Chu Xuan finished explaining to Dong Zijian, he left the villa and got into the nanny car and set off for the Beijing Airport.
There are still three hours until seven o'clock in the evening. It should only take a few hours to get from Donglin Villa to the airport, but according to the current tragic traffic jam situation, it is conservatively estimated that it will take two hours.
Reserve an hour of unexpected space, just in case the traffic jam turns out to be unexpected and you will be speechless if you miss the pick-up time.
Fortunately, it was not unexpected. At 6:30, the driver, Brother Yang, cut out of the traffic and successfully turned into the airport square.
"Mr. Chu, door 8 on floor T2?"
"right."
The driver, Brother Yang, was familiar with the road and drove the car to the parking space outside the 8th door on the first floor of T2 terminal where the VIP channel is located.
"Brother Yang, I'm going to have to wait for a long time. It's probably going to be seven o'clock." Chu Xuan opened the door and got out of the car.
"This is a trivial matter. Mr. Chu, please pay attention to your own safety." Brother Yang, the driver, watched Chu Xuan walk away.
Chu Xuan walked into the terminal and ran up to the second floor before anyone recognized him.
The second floor is the VIP lounge and VIP passage area. Judging from the past situation, it is expected that there will be few people. Who knows that the charm of the Olympic Games and summer vacation is really great, flying first class, business class and owning an airline
There are so many people with gold cards.
"That's Chu Xuan!"
"No, I saw Chu Xuan as soon as I got off the plane?"
"Chu Xuan, are you here to pick me up?"
Chu Xuan glanced at the passengers who recognized him, said hello, and continued walking forward.
Arriving at the eighth exit of the corridor, this is the VIP exit of Beijing International Airport.
There were about 10 or 20 people waiting at the door to be picked up. Some of them were a little surprised when they saw Chu Xuan walking over.
"Chu Xuan..." A woman covered her mouth and looked at Chu Xuan. She didn't expect that Chu Xuan would appear here.
"I'll go! It's really you, Chu Xuan!" A man was startled and patted Chu Xuan's arm.
Chu Xuan was frightened and said helplessly: "Brother, you scared me."
People nearby reacted one after another, and a big star suddenly appeared at the originally peaceful pick-up scene.
"Chu Xuan, you did a good job in "Legend of Red Flame", really good." An uncle with half-white hair gave a thumbs up.
The uncle brought up this topic, allowing people nearby to find something to talk to Chu Xuan about.
"Yes, this drama is indeed the best costume drama I have watched in recent years. It's a pity that Chu Xuan, your role is a little less." A lady with glasses commented.
"Chu Xuan, why don't you play Mei Changsu? Many people on the Internet say it would be better if you play Mei Changsu. Then Mei Changsu will be Lin Shu after plastic surgery. In this way, Lin Shu and Mu Nihuang will finally recognize each other.
How wonderful." A young girl was a little confused.
"Then this has turned into a bloody drama again. If a good plot turns into a romantic drama, then this drama will fall down." A girl with short hair shook her head repeatedly.
Chu Xuan really didn't expect that this group of people would talk about "The Legend of Red Flame" around him, which was quite interesting.
"Wow, Chu Xuan, a lot of people are taking pictures of you." A girl with long hair pointed to the end of the corridor.
Chu Xuan and the people present turned their heads and looked around, wondering if the news about him had spread. Many people were taking pictures on the exit steps of the second floor with their mobile phones. Especially there were several small cameras. It was obvious at a glance.
It was the paparazzi that got mixed up.
At this time, the terminal's announcement rang, saying that Liu Yifei's flight was about to arrive.
Chu Xuan turned his head and concentrated on waiting for Liu Yifei's arrival.
--outside world.
In the darkening sky, an international flight was making a circling landing.
Liu Yifei leaned against the window and looked down at the ground. Will Chu Xuan keep his promise to pick her up at the airport?
"Definitely." She asked herself in her mind.
So where is Chu Xuan?
Waiting for her in the square?
The darkening sky made it difficult for her to see clearly, and only the little lights around the terminal told her that she was almost home.
After being away from home for half a year, she was excited to return home and excited to see Chu Xuan soon. Seeing the plane getting closer and closer to the ground, she felt a little unable to sit still.
When the plane landed smoothly, she impulsively wanted to unbuckle her seat belt, but her safety awareness reminded her that it was not time to unbuckle her seat belt yet, so she suppressed her urgency and fastened her hands on the buttons.
Until the plane slid and turned and stopped steadily at the terminal exit, the security officer connected the aisle and the door. When the flight attendant announced that it was okay to get off the plane, she quickly unbuckled her seat belt.
But when she picked up her small luggage bag and was about to leave quickly, she saw her mother packing her things slowly and in a completely different state from her.
Liu Yifei was helpless and Liu Xiaoli was speechless: "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiaoxuan can't run."
Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue and puffed out her cheeks like buns, not being able to take up this topic.
After her mother had packed up, she and her mother eagerly followed the flow of people out of the plane door and stepped onto the aisle.
Liu Yifei guessed that Chu Xuan was waiting for her in a car outside the square downstairs. After all, there were so many people in the terminal and it was not easy for Chu Xuan to come in.
But when the crowd in front of her gradually dispersed and the view ahead became wider, the appearance of a person made her heart skip a beat.
Liu Yifei waved her hands happily, and Chu Xuan also waved his hands happily.
Liu Yifei never expected that Chu Xuan would come to pick her up in such a crowded place.
Liu Xiaoli also saw Chu Xuan, and she, the mother-in-law, was also very happy that Chu Xuan could pick them up at the first airport.
When Liu Yifei came closer, some people also noticed her.
"Liu Yifei!"
"Ah?...Oh my god, Liu Yifei and I were in the first class cabin together and we didn't even notice!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It turns out that Chu Xuan is here to pick up Liu Yifei."
"Chu Xuan? Where is it?...Ah! Chu Xuan!"
The deafening sound lingered in their ears, but Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei only had eyes for each other.
When the two parties met, Liu Yifei picked up her luggage bag and said playfully: "Hey."
"Auntie." Chu Xuan greeted Liu Xiaoli, stretched out his right hand to take Liu Yifei's luggage bag to help her carry it, took her hand with his left hand and walked towards the corridor: "See, there are a lot of paparazzi and onlookers in front of you, hurry up
Walk."
Liu Yifei looked forward and saw that there were indeed many people blocking the corridor entrance dozens of meters away, presumably all coming for Chu Xuan.
At this moment, Liu Yifei recalled the "breakup incident" on the Internet, and she started thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.
Before Chu Xuan could react, Liu Yifei turned her head and stamped his mouth.
"Ah————" Ahead and behind, there seemed to be echoing ultrasonic waves and super strong screaming sound waves.
"Oh my god, it's so sweet!" The passengers didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so brave and spread dog food in public. This was their first time seeing her. Is this considered giving out candy on the spot?
No matter what it is, I need to take insulin anyway.
Some travelers were upset. Didn't the Internet say that the two broke up? Is this called a breakup? It's all nonsense.
Chu Xuan quietly looked at each other and Liu Yifei, looking at the cunning look in Liu Yifei's eyes. To be honest, he was a little shy now.
I originally wanted to wait for Liu Yifei to come back and take some time to go out and walk hand in hand to break the random speculation on the Internet, but he did just that when he came to pick her up today.
Who would have thought that Liu Yifei would evolve this agreed upon plan and kiss him in public in front of so many people.
You are so brave, my girlfriend.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head in her mind, what else could she say, just be happy.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, those rumors on the Internet even said that you broke up, I just say it's impossible!"
"From now on, if there is any news about your breakup, I won't believe it to death!"
"Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei is a woman who takes the initiative to kiss you. If you don't return the kiss, you are still not a man!"
With so many people watching, it was really a headache to meet this group of fans who loved to make noises. Chu Xuan immediately turned his head and kissed Liu Yifei quickly on the lips.
Before the melon-eaters had time to shout, they saw Liu Xiaoli pushing the two of them away quickly: "Let's go, let's go, what are you doing?"
She then said to the people who were booing: "Don't praise them too much. They are too easy to inflate, you know. If they drift away in the future and I can't control them, I will call you to take care of them."
"Hahaha..." The passengers laughed, feeling that this family was so fun and the friendliness index was high.
Liu Xiaoli's words were so friendly that the group of passengers escorted the family downstairs and out of the terminal in a swarm, and did not stop until they saw them getting on the bus.
"Goodbye Chu Xuan!"
"Goodbye Liu Yifei!"
"Goodbye, Mama Liu!"
Many enthusiastic friends waved goodbye and dispersed only after seeing the nanny car go away, enjoying themselves or laughing with each other about the joy and beauty brought by this chance encounter.
