Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 88
88
The Zhong family has not been so lively for a long time.
Even with Ye Liuying alone, the atmosphere is much better than in previous years.
The chef in the villa was sent back for the Chinese New Year.
Pei Xuening personally cooks to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. All she cooks are home-cooked dishes, but the appearance and taste are very good, making Ye Liuying, who is not good at cooking, ashamed.
Zhong Ji is accustomed to the delicacies of mountains and seas, and enjoys such moments very much.
The family of three maintained their apparent calm.
“This is the red envelope your mother gave you.” Pei Xuening got up and took out a wooden box for the red envelope.
Apparently it’s been a long time coming.
“Thank you mom.” Ye Liuying took it over obediently and smiled sweetly at her.
She did not have such treatment in the Ye family.
This is the first time Ye Liuying has received a red envelope as an adult.
She thought that Pei Xuening had prepared more, and when she opened it, she found that there were fifteen red envelopes in it.
Make up for what has been missing over the years.
And at this point, Pei Xuening and Zhong Ji coincide.
“Dad has prepared it for you too.” Zhong Ji also took out a stack of red packets and handed it to Ye Liuying.
The thickness is not worse than that of Pei Xuening.
Pei Xuening looked in his eyes and gave Zhong Ji a rare sight.
Zhong Ji didn’t hide, and directly met her gaze.
The scene in front of him was very strange to Ye Liuying.
After all, Pei Xuening hasn’t looked at Zhong Ji for a long time.
But there is, and only once.
Pei Xuening’s gentleness and smile are only used on Ye Liuying.
Zhong Ji’s emotional intelligence is not low, and he didn’t say much.
Overall, this New Year’s Eve dinner was a harmonious meal.
After dinner they watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.
Ye Liuying leaned beside Pei Xuening, chatting with her, while dealing with blessing messages on her mobile phone.
The most conspicuous of them is Shen Xingzhou.
His avatar was pinned by her.
As soon as I opened it, I saw dozens of unread messages.
mogwai: [Congratulations on getting rich and good luck]
Full screen of red envelopes.
The skin he set was pretty good, and Ye Liuying felt very happy when she clicked it.
Shen Xingzhou was probably also playing with his phone.
After he found out that Ye Liuying had opened the red envelope, he came to her eagerly.
mogwai: [Baby is eating? ]
mogwai: [Too many people in my family are making me suffocated/poor]
mogwai: [Would you like to come out and set off fireworks? ]
mogwai:[launching be careful.gif]
Ye Liuying had long been accustomed to Shen Xingzhou’s various cute poses.
She looked up at the lively singing and dancing scene on the screen, and casually sent a “fairy in a daze” emoji.
Zhong Yi: [Where to put it? ]
Favorite: [There are not more people outside]
More or less places are allowed to set off fireworks.
But if the scenery is good, there must be people.
mogwai: [it’s okay]
mogwai: [we put off electronic fireworks]
mogwai: [take you somewhere by the way]
Ye Liuying was really interested when she saw it.
But she turned her head to look at Pei Xuening, and doubted whether she could go out smoothly tonight.
“Xiao Shi.” Zhong Ji made a pot of tea and handed it to them at the right time.
Ye Liuying’s thoughts were interrupted.
She and Zhong Ji looked at each other and did not refuse his tea.
“It’s still early.” Zhong Ji took a sip of tea and said clearly, “Do you want to go out to play?”
Ye Liuying asked Pei Xuening’s opinion for the first time, “Do you want mom to be with me?”
Pei Xuening did not refuse Zhong Ji’s tea.
She lowered her head and took a sip, raised her eyebrows and said, “I’m afraid Zhouzhou will be unhappy if I go.”
“How could it be?” Ye Liuying thought to herself that Shen Xingzhou should not dare to be unhappy, but when she was teased by her mother, she inevitably blushed.
“Okay.” Pei Xuening reached out and touched Ye Liuying’s hair, “Go if you want.”
Ye Liuying hugged Pei Xuening’s arm as if to please, “Then I will definitely be back before twelve o’clock.”
They had just made dumplings together and planned to cook them at twelve o’clock.
“It’s up to you.” Pei Xuening could never refuse Ye Liuying.
The feeling of being lost and found is too rare, how could she be willing to make her unhappy.
So Ye Liuying and Shen Xingzhou said hello.
Shen Xingzhou waited for her to reply, and drove over to pick him up as soon as he saw the news.
After she left, Pei Xuening couldn’t sit still.
“Let’s talk?” Zhong Ji was as calm as ever, and the eyes of Pei Xuening became more and more obscure.
Pei Xuening originally didn’t want to file for divorce on the occasion of the New Year.
But Zhong Ji seemed to have seen through her mind, so she didn’t plan to play stupid.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn.
“Give me a chance to start over, okay?”
Zhong Ji pursed his lips and said almost begging, “Just think it’s for the thick.”
He finally bowed his head.
But Pei Xuening no longer needs it.
“You think it’s quite beautiful.” Pei Xuening snorted softly, and the attitude of refusal could not be more obvious.
Zhong Ji wanted to persuade again, but heard her say: “I already knew what you did, and I kept pretending not to know because I didn’t want to obey Pei Xueqing, but I didn’t expect her abacus to hit Nong Nong. It’s impossible for me to forgive you for that. No matter how much you hate her and don’t know it, nothing will change.”
“Let’s go through the formalities after the new year.” Pei Xuening turned her face away and didn’t look at Zhong Ji.
For the first time in his life, Zhong Ji tasted regret.
Before, he was afraid of hurting her, so he concealed what happened to Pei Xueqing.
But I don’t want the damage to have already been done.
Pei Xueqing killed their daughter, and there is no possibility between them.
The last bit of luck in Zhong Ji’s heart disappeared without a trace this night.
Ye Liuying didn’t know that Pei Xuening filed for divorce with Zhong Ji in advance.
It doesn’t matter if she knows, Pei Xuening is the most important thing to her.
“When are you going home with me?” The traffic light in front blocked the passing vehicles. Shen Xingzhou tilted his head to look at Ye Liuying. The small red mole under his eyes looked like a beam of light in the dim light.
Ye Liuying was still not able to resist Shen Xingzhou’s good-looking appearance, but fortunately she was able to control herself, “How long have you been your boyfriend, and you want to go further?”
She looks no different from a scumbag.
Shen Xingzhou flattened his mouth and said pitifully, “Don’t you know that Chinese New Year is the peak time for blind dates? I haven’t brought my girlfriend home for so many years, so some people should doubt my orientation.”
“You dare to try on a blind date.” Ye Liuying didn’t seem to hear what he said behind.
“Then I really don’t dare.” Fortunately, Shen Xingzhou only mentioned it casually, “Have you been in contact with Gu Fan recently? He followed me to Shen Zhining on a blind date yesterday, and made her mad enough.”
Ye Liuying was very interested in Gu Fan’s gossip, “I don’t have much contact, but I heard Feifei talk about it.”
“Zheng Manfei hasn’t given up yet?” Shen Xingzhou hadn’t heard the name for a long time.
“She doesn’t just come and go.” Ye Liuying turned to look at the street scene outside the window, “Where are we going?”
The traffic ahead began to move.
Shen Xingzhou looked away from Ye Liuying and restarted the car, “Aren’t you coming back before twelve o’clock? It just happened to take you to your old elementary school.”
Ye Liuying attended a private bilingual primary school with strict admission requirements and was very famous in Tongcheng.
It’s a pity that Pei Xueqing fell into the hands of the Ye family after she only read for more than a semester.
Shen Xingzhou also read it here.
At that time, he had a normal relationship with Ye Liuying, but she couldn’t stop her sweet mouth and soft temper, which often made him angry and useless.
Speaking of which, they didn’t communicate much, and this is one of the few memories.
Shen Xingzhou just wanted to live with Ye Liuying in the two-person world. It happened that this school had a beautiful scenery and had some connection with them, so it was quite ingenious.
“Are you trying to retrieve my old memories?” Ye Liuying was led by Shen Xingzhou and walked around the campus, and finally came to the campus lake.
He obviously arranged it in advance.
The two twenty-meter-high green trees by the lake are entwined with lights, one left and one right, one white and one blue, blooming quietly in the quiet night.
Ye Liuying looked up at them, her raised eyebrows were particularly confusing under the light at the moment.
“Who made you forget me.” Shen Xingzhou hugged her from behind, rubbing her chin on her neck.
“It’s like you used to like me very much.” Although Ye Liuying couldn’t remember much about her childhood, she knew Shen Xingzhou’s attitude towards her.
She hummed and glared at Shen Xingzhou.
“I bully you just because I like you.” Shen Xingzhou started talking nonsense seriously.
“I don’t believe it.” Ye Liuying thought of the little boy who appeared in her dream, and laughed away from Shen Xingzhou, “When I remember, I’ll make trouble with you.”
Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes were astonishingly bright, “I wish you would trouble me.”
Ye Liuying pushed Shen Xingzhou down angrily, “Aren’t you going to set off fireworks?”
The car was parked by the lake.
Shen Xingzhou took down the fireworks from the car and gave Ye Liuying a bundle of fairy sticks.
“Why did you still buy this?” Ye Liuying was obviously more interested in fairy sticks, and excitedly took two of them and put them in her hands.
Shen Xingzhou took out from his pocket and lit the fairy stick for Ye Liuying.
There was still snow on the ground, and the silver-clad world reflected the light in her hand, like a scene from a comic.
Ye Liuying wore a red cloak coat, waving a fairy stick and dancing in the snow, her slender figure was like a fairy and a dream.
After Shen Xingzhou fiddled with the electronic fireworks, he saw Ye Liuying running towards him.
“Here.” She handed him a new one, and approached him with the fairy wand she had put in half.
He raised his head and willingly fell into the sea of stars that crashed into her eyes.
This scene may be worth remembering for a lifetime.
“Huh? Don’t shake.” Ye Liuying’s voice interrupted Shen Xingzhou’s thoughts.
He regained his senses and watched the two fairy rods get closer and closer, just like them.
“Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?” Shen Xingzhou asked suddenly.
Ye Liuying’s movements paused.
“Will you do it for me?” She tilted her head and smiled at him.
“Yes.” He agreed happily.
“Then I have to think about it.” Ye Liuying nodded seriously.
The fairy stick that Shen Xingzhou was holding was soon destroyed.
Ye Liuying happily ordered two more.
He looked soft-hearted, and couldn’t help but stepped forward and hugged her around for several times.
Ye Liuying exclaimed, raised the fairy stick high and said, “You are not afraid of burning your clothes.”
“Burn and burn.”
Ye Liuying glared at Shen Xingzhou as soon as he finished speaking, “This is from my mother.”
“I buy for you.”
“Not yours.”
“No, no.” Shen Xingzhou looked up at her, reluctant to put him down, “My whole being is yours.”
Not to mention those outsiders.
