Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 47
In the red velvet box, there is a glass-type imperial green jade jade bracelet lying quietly. Under the illumination of the chandelier in the living room, it can be seen that the body of the bracelet is delicate, crystal clear and transparent, and the emerald color inside is as pure as water.
“Xiao Xia, this bracelet was given to me by Grandma Mingzhe decades ago,” Huo’s mother sat beside Bi Ming, put the jade bracelet and the box into her hand, and said to her affectionately, “Now, , Auntie wants to give it to you and pass it on from generation to generation.”
“This is also the tradition of our old Huo family.”
This sentence is already the most obvious hint. Bi Ming raised his eyes and looked at Huo Mingzhe behind him. He had told her before that no matter what Mother Huo gave her, she would take it first.
“Thank you auntie, I…” The girl’s face was slightly red, but she still took it generously, “I will cherish it.”
Seeing that Bi Ming didn’t push three or four, but put the precious place in her arms, Huo’s mother was in a happy mood, and suggested to her: “Xiao Xia, just wear it directly, your skin is fair, it must match this color.”
“But…” The girl turned to look at Huo Mingzhe again.
“Mom, I’ll help her wear it.” The man leaned forward, his tall body felt oppressive, half shrouded in Bi Ming’s figure, “Qingxia, give me your hand.”
Under the approach of the man, Bi Ming’s back inevitably leaned back slightly, and his face was even more red.
But then she reacted, and Mother Huo was still watching, so she had to hand the jade bracelet into his hands in this intimate gesture.
He took her catkin, the knuckles were slender and slender, and the touch was so tender that it was almost watery.
This soft and greasy touch is really tempting, and the man’s hands can’t help but tighten.
“Mingzhe, don’t pinch, it’s so itchy.” The girl’s tone was slightly annoyed, her eyes were filled with anger, “Hurry up and put it on.” Is this guy controlled by hand? After looking at the air for so long, her hands are numb .
Huo Mingzhe restrained his heart, and replied “OK” as usual, then grabbed the delicate little hand and slowly stuffed it into the bracelet.
The jade is cool and moist, and it goes through the palm of the hand without any obstruction. Coupled with Huo Mingzhe’s gentle movements, Bi Ming can see the bracelet on his wrist just in a flash.
Hao wrist plain white, emerald stone moist, complement each other beautifully.
Mother Huo had always loved jade, and when she saw this beautiful scene, she smiled even brighter: “Oh, Xiao Xia is really wearing it, Mingzhe, don’t you think?”
Huo Mingzhe’s eyes darkened slightly: “Well, this color is beautiful.”
“Stinky boy, let you look at Xiao Xia, why do you look at the color of the stone?” Mother Huo raised her eyebrows.
“People don’t boast, Qingxia is easy to be shy.”
Mother Huo looked up and down the coy couple and squinted.
When Bi Ming went to the bathroom, she pulled her son to her side:
“What’s the matter, did you get into trouble with Xiao Xia?”
Huo Mingzhe sighed inwardly, as expected of an old lady who has been engaged in picket work for so many years, she can catch anything wrong.
“No, don’t worry.” He just wanted to be awkward, and he had to have that qualification.
“Really?” Mother Huo scrutinized her son back and forth, “Xiao Xia is a good boy, you are not allowed to bully others.”
Huo Mingzhe nodded, half helpless and half serious: “I know.”
“Okay,” Mother Huo looked at the wall clock, “you’ll take her around the house later, and I’ll go and call your dad. It’s already this time, and I still don’t know where to catch his broken fish! “
Huo’s father likes fishing, and he often goes to the lake near the villa to fish.
Huo Mingzhe knew it, and then he thought: “Is Xiaohe back today?”
“Well, I’ll be here in the afternoon, I should be staying at home for a few days.”
While the two were talking, Bi Ming had already come over.
“You are good at dealing with others, Mom will not make light bulbs.” Huo mother whispered to her son, turned to meet the girl, and smiled, “Xiao Xia, auntie, go to the kitchen to see if the chicken soup is cooked, you and Ming Zhe first Just wander around the house.”
“Okay, Auntie has worked hard.” Bi Ming nodded politely.
The dignified lady laughed dumbly: “You child, you are welcome at home.”
After Huo’s mother left, Huo Mingzhe took Bi Ming to the first floor, where there are more entertainment facilities, such as private theaters, gyms, libraries, bars…
“This is a sauna room, and there is a jacuzzi when you go inside. If you feel tired, you can relax.” The man pointed to her, “There are bathrobes for guests to change at home.”
Bi Ming shook her head gently: “I’ll just find a place to sit down. If you’re busy, you can do your business first.”
Huo Mingzhe is not so low emotional intelligence.
He didn’t say anything, just took someone to the bartending place, let her sit on the sofa, and poured her a glass of sparkling wine.
The wine in the goblet was bubbling with tiny bubbles, and it looked very light in body. Bi Ming smelled it and knew that it was a dry white wine suitable for drinking before meals.
“What is this?” she asked him softly.
“A kind of pre-dinner wine, refreshing and appetizing.” The man also brought himself a glass, and was about to take a seat, when he gave her the type of popular science wine, but suddenly heard a sound behind him.
The bar is open, next to the wine cellar and balcony room.
The balcony room is connected to the indoor swimming pool. Usually no one leaves. Huo Mingzhe didn’t expect to see his brother here.
Bi Ming followed his gaze, only to find a black-haired boy wrapped in an oversized bath towel, who seemed to have just finished swimming and his hair was still wet, walking in this direction.
The teenager’s face is delicate, with long eyelashes and pale complexion, which is completely different from Huo Mingzhe’s wheat-colored skin.
However, when the water droplets rolled down from his shoulders and neck, passing over his chest and abdominal muscles, he could still see the boy’s strong yet beautiful physique.
“Xiaohe.” Huo Mingzhe called to him, “Go swimming?”
The boy paused, his eyes swept over him and Bi Ming coldly, and then moved away disinterestedly: “Well.”
“Why don’t you blow dry your hair before leaving?” Huo Mingzhe couldn’t help frowning when he looked at the younger brother, “You’ll catch a cold like this.”
“I’ll do it later.” The young man seemed to be a taciturn character, his delicate face seemed to be frosted all the year round, refusing to be thousands of miles away.
Huo Mingzhe motioned to him: “Be polite and say hello when you meet someone.”
The young man seemed to be reluctant, but he had to listen to his elder brother’s words, walked up to Bi Ming, and said in a somber tone, “Hello.”
Bi Ming raised her eyes to look at him, and at close range, she could see the black mole at the end of the other’s eye, which was tempting like a monster.
“Hello.” Facing his reluctance, she chose to be a repeater.
Huo Dashao next to him was silent, as if he saw two icebergs collide, and the splashing cold debris froze the people next to him.
“Qingxia, this is my brother, Sheng He.”
“Xiaohe, this is your sister-in-law, Qingxia.”
The teenager who heard “sister-in-law” finally had a reaction: “Are you going to marry her?”
The man sighed, he knew his younger brother’s character, he was cold and withdrawn, he didn’t look at anyone other than his family, and he spent the whole day in his own little world chasing the computer.
It’s not that Huo’s mother never tried to let him join the social circle, but Sheng He, who ignores people at all, is like a polar glacier, which can freeze everyone close to him to death.
“Xiaohe, if nothing else happens, Qingxia will be a new member of the family.”
After listening to the eldest brother’s words, the young man finally took a serious look at Bi Ming – after a while, he spoke again and introduced himself again:
“Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Sheng He.”
His hair and eyelashes were still stained with water droplets, but his expression lost his previous indifference and became a good boy.
It’s not that Bi Ming hasn’t seen others change their faces, but it’s rare enough for this “Sheng He” to accept that he only needs a word from Huo Mingzhe.
It can only be said that the young man in front of him attaches great importance to the concept of “family” and is also very xenophobic.
“Hello,” Bi Ming was not interested in autistic children, and chose to continue to be a repeater, “I’m Yan Qingxia.”
“Okay, you go upstairs to blow your hair first,” Huo Mingzhe moved his head slightly, signaling his brother to leave first, “don’t disturb us.”
Sheng He: “…” This man with a blossoming iron tree is different when he has a daughter-in-law.
He didn’t want to be a light bulb either, so he turned around and took the elevator back to his room.
Bi Ming looked up at the man who was shaking his glass to taste wine, his eyelashes drooping quietly to cover his smile.
It’s really interesting, she just glanced at the little kid twice, and someone was already jealous.
“Anyway, it’s still some time before dinner.” After drinking, the man looked sideways at her, “Why don’t we go for a swim too.”
“I didn’t bring a swimsuit,” Bi Ming declined, “and I’m still a little tired now.”
“There are spare ladies’ swimsuits at home, and my mother bought a bunch.” Huo Mingzhe described to her, “We don’t go to the one used by Xiaohe, there is an open-air infinity pool next to it, the water temperature is higher, and you can see Sunset view…”
Bi Ming looked at his slightly drunk face, the arc was sharp and handsome, and the eyes were deep and charming, just like mature wine exuding a seductive fragrance.
She has studied that before a man and a woman fall in love, there will be an up-front period, during which he can keep giving, frantically doing everything he can for the woman, even if the other party’s demands are outrageous.
This is also the reason why many girls can’t stand the boy’s love offensive. After all, he can really love you like his life at this time.
And now, she can feel that Huo Mingzhe is on the verge of this dangerous and sweet deadline.
All she needed to do was watch him fall into the abyss.
Or, just give him a push.
“You made me very moved, but… well, I’ll tell you the truth,” she seemed embarrassed, and finally told the truth under his gaze, “I never learned to swim.”
Huo Mingzhe finally understood why she pushed three and four against four. It turned out that he had ill-considered and forgot the self-esteem of the little girl.
“What’s the matter, I’ll teach you.” He raised the corners of his lips and whispered a little childishly, “I will teach you.”
Bi Ming stared at him, as if thinking.
The man didn’t rush her and let her tangle slowly.
In the end, the girl finally nodded, and the pear vortex slowly emerged: “Okay, then give it a try.”
The man was stunned, only the color of her lips, Zhu Ying, was left in his eyes, which bloomed brightly on her snow-like face.
She rarely smiles, but every time she smiles, it’s hard to hold back.
***
Soon, there were two more figures in the open-air infinity pool. The sun was just right, the water was sparkling, and the surroundings were surrounded by greenery and flowers, like a fairyland far away from the mundane.
The man of 1.9 meters is tall and strong, with wheat-colored skin that is firm and powerful, with wide shoulders and narrow waist. At first glance, he looks like a sculpture of the golden ratio, and his whole body is interpreting the combination of strength and beauty.
Bi Ming guessed that he must have the habit of exercising every day, and there will be professional fitness coaches next to him, because under normal circumstances, it is difficult to practice such beautiful muscle lines.
“Can you breathe?” The man was immersed in the clear swimming pool, the water just covered his waist and abdomen, and it didn’t look very deep.
“Yeah.” Bi Ming put her hand on the wrapped bath towel and seemed a little shy, “Don’t look at me first, I will go into the water myself.” She had managed to find the most conservative one in the spare swimsuit earlier. A black one-piece swimsuit, those three-point styles she wouldn’t wear at this time.
Huo Mingzhe didn’t have so many crooked thoughts. He proposed swimming just because Bi Ming had been focusing on his younger brother before, which made him a little tasteful.
Sheng He, the guy who sits in front of the computer all day, how can he compare his muscle mass?
Seeing Bi Ming’s face like a sakura, I don’t know why it’s a little hot.
“Oh,” he turned his back, “you… don’t worry, I’m not watching.”
The girl’s gaze stayed for several seconds on his streamlined back muscles and flexible waist.
“You must be exercising regularly, right?”
“Almost.” He seemed to be able to feel Bi Ming’s gaze, and the man’s back tightened. “There is a physical fitness coach at home who will help Xiaohe and I make exercise plans.”
Exercise can release excess energy from the body, which is just needed for Huo Mingzhe, who has no girlfriend.
Bi Ming untied the bath towel, revealing the pure black body-fitting swimsuit inside, with a hollowed-out **** the back, which formed an extremely strong contrast with the milk-colored skin.
With a “thump”, the girl slid into the water, and then called to him softly: “Okay, you can turn back now.”
As we all know, when the water is clear enough, it can be seen at a glance.
When Huo Dashao turned his head, he saw the striking black and white.
At this moment, there were only two words left in his mind:
Terrible.
…
“Xiao Xia, come here and try the black chicken soup stewed by Auntie.” At the table, Mother Huo scooped the soup for Bi Ming beside her,
“Auntie, let me serve it myself.” Bi Ming also stood up, her fair face still crimson, “How can I trouble my elders?”
“It’s okay, you sit.” Mother Huo looked at the girl’s hair fluffy behind her head, as if it had just been dried, “Did you and Mingzhe go swimming?”
“Yep.”
“What about the others, why haven’t they come?”
“I don’t know, just after swimming for a while, he said that he had something to do and he had to go back to his room first.” Bi Ming shook his head.
Mother Huo’s eyes widened: “this boy, let him accompany you and dare to run, and I will tell him to go back.”
“Auntie, it’s okay,” the girl explained slowly, “Mingzhe is busy with work, it’s not good to be with me all the time to delay the business.”
The tone of voice was slow and slow, which quickly suppressed Huo’s mother’s emotions.
Huo’s father in the main seat, with white temples and high spirits, looked at the “prospective daughter-in-law” with satisfaction at the indifferent temperament.
Men, when they are busy with their careers, how can they have a long relationship with their children all day long?
Out of the psychology of compensation, Huo’s father, who was once a hero in the business world, said kindly at this time: “Xiao Xia, you sit first, don’t be so restrained, your uncles and aunts know that you have a good personality and get along well with Mingzhe, so you must come often in the future. Dinner at home. Your aunt and I are very welcome to you!”
Mother Huo rolled her eyes at him: “Don’t talk about life, Xiaoxia is not a guest.”
The old man laughed.
His remarks can be regarded as an official statement. The Huo family recognizes this daughter-in-law.
Sheng He, who was drinking soup quietly in the corner, looked up at Bi Ming several times, feeling a little puzzled.
His brother’s time planning is very strict, and his work and personal time are very separated, so he doesn’t have to go back to answer the phone after a swim.
And there are no major projects in the company recently, what are you going to do when you go back to your room?
When Huo Mingzhe, who had changed into a set of clothes, came to the dining room, he found that Bi Ming had seamlessly integrated into the Huo family’s dining table atmosphere.
His father was kind to her, his mother served her warm dishes, and his brother—
Well, what does that kid mean by staring at his sister-in-law?
***
On the side of “Summer Love Letter”, Bi Ming found that his role was not much left.
Sister Wen has been telling her recently that several scripts are quite good, so she must seize the opportunity to audition.
“You don’t touch the serious drama, and now try to consider Xianxia dramas or other costume dramas.”
Bi Ming nodded and studied the scripts that could be auditioned on hand. They were basically the second or third female lead.
In the original work, Yan Qingxia didn’t receive the script of the heroine until after “Summer Love Letter” became popular.
But two days later, Sister Wen mysteriously handed her a book, with a hint of excitement in her expression:
“Xiao Xia, oh, this is incredible, Director Wen has come out again, and he has to make a new version of “The Legend of Songshan Heroes”! The most important thing is that we have also been invited to audition here, and you have the opportunity to play the heroine Zhen Suhuan! “
Bi Ming frowned. She still knows “The Legend of Songshan Heroes”, one of the most classic martial arts IPs in domestic entertainment. The last version was filmed ten years ago, and the leading actors are now big names.
Director Wen, on the other hand, is the number one character among the directors of martial arts dramas, and no one dares to call him second.
The most popular IP and the best director join forces, no matter how you look at it, you will not miss it.
The problem is that in Yan Qingxia’s world line, the show has never even had a name.
For a drama with such a well-configured configuration, if the results are proud, it is impossible to have no sense of existence.
“Xiao Xia, no, you are actually hesitating?” Sister Wen raised her eyebrows, “This is the heroine’s audition, Lan Ning, Sun Wenya and the others are all vying for roles—” Shouldn’t her own artist have it? Mr. Huo floated when he was in the backstage, right?
No, this audition opportunity was handed over by Mr. Huo.
Sister Wen learned the inside story from the new president of Mikai Entertainment. Probably at a banquet where big bosses gathered, Mr. Huo casually said a few words to the boss of XX Films next to him, and then Mikai Entertainment was assigned to this place. The cake of the heroine of the big ip.
Bi Ming was still pondering: “I’ll read the script and then talk about it.”
Sister Wen saw that she was really hesitating, and her mentality was a little broken.
“Xiao Xia, what are you thinking, do you know how rare this opportunity is? Some second-tier actresses can’t hear the wind at all.”
Not long after she persuaded her painstakingly, Bi Ming received a call.
Caller ID: Xu Chengyang.
She pressed the call button, and the man’s light and charming voice came from the opposite side.
“Qingxia, sorry for bothering you so late.”
“I have a good script, but I still lack a heroine. Are you interested in auditioning?”
Bi Ming was a little surprised.
This is not the case in the original.
“Mr. Xu, are you serious?”
A deep laughter came from the phone: “Did I choose this time to entertain you?”
“Ah, that’s not what I meant,” Bi Ming whispered, “I just didn’t expect you to suddenly help me…”
You must know that in the entertainment circle with more monks and less meat, a role is sometimes almost an actor’s life-saving straw.
“You don’t have to be so polite,” the man said with a restrained smile, “This drama is called “The Heart is Unruly”, it is a court drama, it is the first time my studio has produced it, there is a possibility of blood attack, you can consider carefully.”
Bi Ming reacted instantly. In the original work, this drama was a major contributor to helping Xu Chengyang escape from a simple “actor” and become a “capital player”.
This costume drama was launched in December, and the ratings and on-demand rates were unparalleled, making it the king of whistle-blowing dramas that aired that year. And Yan Qingxia’s popular Xianxia drama was broadcast in the spring of the following year and became the king of dramas. In other words, the male and female protagonists monopolized the TV drama market one after the other.
However, the heroine of “This Heart Unrestrained” was originally a senior big flower, and her appeal was comparable to Xu Chengyang. It was only by the combination of the two leading actors that it caused a huge momentum at the beginning of the broadcast.
The choice that Bi Ming has to face now is whether to accept Xu Chengyang’s invitation to play the next year’s drama king, or follow the original owner’s line to **** the next year’s drama king from Yun Zhen?
“Mr. Xu, can you tell me the schedule of that drama?”
“When “Summer Love Letter” is finished, filming will start in mid-May, and it will take five to six months.”
Bi Ming did the math. In the next year’s Xianxia drama, the heroine only got the chance to get in touch after the broadcast of “Summer Love Letter” at the end of the year, and the two dramas will not collide with the schedule.
Finally, she made a decision—
Two drama kings, she wants them all.
The author has something to say:
Let me tell you, our heroine is carnivorous, egoist, and likes strongman and roughsex, so she is interested in the eldest brother, and the younger brother: oh, little friend. As for the younger brother, let’s see later, he also has an important role.
The details of the swimming pool cannot be disclosed based on the form of jj. I haven’t done it, but you can make up for it in your brain~
Huo Dashao: This drama is good, help my family to come over
Bi Ming: what rubbish.jpg
Xu Yingdi: This is called getting the moon first (laughs)
