He Yang looked at the goldfish on the floor and fell silent.
There was a mess all around, Qiqi squatted aside, looked up at He Yang with his head up, his face was very innocent, as if it wasn't him who just broke the fish tank.
Beside him, Xiao Wen stretched out his claws and poked the little goldfish a few times, seemingly curious.
The little goldfish was already very fragile, but now being poked by Xiao Wen like this, it suddenly became even weaker.
The nanny aunt hurried over to take Xiao Wen away and began to clean up the debris and goldfish on the ground.
Auntie found a cup, rescued the goldfish and put it in it.
It was just too late, the goldfish was already dead.
Auntie looked at the goldfish, then at He Yang, and said, "Young Master He, the goldfish is dead."
He Yang took the cup and looked at the goldfish corpse inside without speaking.
At this moment, a message alert sounded from the mobile phone.
He Yang took the phone and saw that it was a message from Xu Chengyan—
[Yanyan: How is the goldfish? 】
He Yang subconsciously glanced at the goldfish corpse and frowned.
He Yang didn't reply, and said to his aunt again, "Buy another one, the sooner the better."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the restroom of the crew, Xu Chengyan was holding his mobile phone, still waiting for He Yang's reply.
However, after waiting for several minutes, he didn't see any news. It was estimated that He Yang was still busy and didn't have time to look at his phone.
The agent came over and said, "The photographer is almost ready, you can go over and shoot."
Xu Chengyan nodded, got up and handed the phone to the manager for safekeeping, and said, "If He Yang sends a message, let me know."
"Okay." The broker should come down.
Xu Chengyan also walked towards the studio, preparing to shoot.
The agent was standing not far away, watching Xu Chengyan filming there.
It just so happened that this time it was Gu Nian who was filming the opposite scene with Xu Chengyan.
This time the drama is about criminal investigation, Xu Chengyan plays a police officer, and Gu Nian plays a college student.
Gu Nian wore a clean white shirt and thin-rimmed glasses, with a gentle and quiet appearance.
The agent couldn't help but glanced at Gu Nian a few more times, feeling that Gu Nian seemed to be honest, so he withdrew his gaze.
After the filming was over, the agent hurried over and handed the thermos cup to Xu Chengyan.
Xu Chengyan took the thermos cup and asked casually, "Is there any news?"
The agent handed over the phone and said, "Just some group news, Mr. He hasn't replied yet."
"Not yet?" Xu Chengyan frowned slightly, took the phone, and reopened the dialog.
Xu Chengyan sat on the lounge chair beside him, stared at the chat record for a long time, and couldn't help but said to the agent, "He hasn't replied yet."
The agent also came over to take a look at the chat record, and comforted: "It's okay, I guess Mr. He is busy, and he will reply when he sees the news."
The agent's voice was quiet, and the volume was controlled.
It's just that Gu Nian happened to pass by here, and vaguely heard the words "Mr. He" and "message".
Gu Nian stopped and looked at Xu Chengyan, thoughtfully.
And Xu Chengyan was still talking to the agent, and his voice was relatively low, so he couldn't hear it clearly.
Gu Nian still had the script in his hand, so he walked directly to Xu Chengyan with a smile on his face, and shouted, "Mr. Qin Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Xu Chengyan looked up and smiled politely.
Gu Nian came to the side, and said shyly, "I'm a little nervous about the end, I don't know if I can check it out in advance..."
Xu Chengyan nodded in response, and handed the phone to the manager.
And Gu Nian also sat next to the script and said softly: "It's this scene, I'm a little unsure..."
Xu Chengyan looked at it and said, "Let's check the lines first."
Xu Chengyan took the script and flipped through the script, matching the lines.
Just when the two had just finished confrontation, the agent suddenly came over.
"I'll get back to you." The agent hurriedly pushed Xu Chengyan's arm.
Xu Chengyan was stunned for a moment, put down the script, and said to Gu Nian: "I'll reply with a message, you should read the script first."
"Okay." Gu Nian nodded obediently and looked down at the script.
And Xu Chengyan also took over the phone, clicked on the dialog box, and saw that He Yang had sent a photo.
Click on the photo, and a small goldfish is just facing the camera, blowing bubbles.
Xu Chengyan looked at the little goldfish in the photo, and suddenly became relieved, and enlarged the photo a little bit, ready to take a closer look.
But after zooming in on the photo, Xu Chengyan suddenly caught a glimpse of the little goldfish's tail and was stunned.
The little goldfish's tail pattern... was different from what he remembered.
Xu Chengyan frowned slightly, looked at the photo carefully, and found that the figure of the little goldfish didn't seem right.
He remembered that the goldfish he bought was fat and round, but the photo sent by He Yang was a little flat.
However, Xu Chengyan only thought that it was because of the angle or the light that the picture was not good, so he sent a message to He Yang.
【Have you been fed food? Seems to be a little thin
Not long after the message was sent, He Yang replied.
[He Yang: just fed]
Xu Chengyan thought for a while, and then sent another message, asking He Yang to take a few more photos.
Soon, He Yang sent several photos.
Xu Chengyan directly clicked on the photo to enlarge it, but found an abnormality again.
This time, He Yang took the photo from a different angle. He happened to capture the side of the goldfish, and he could see the patterns on the goldfish's body.
Xu Chengyan stared at the pattern on the goldfish for a while, frowning more and more tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Chengyan opened the album again, found the photos he had taken of the goldfish before, and then compared it with He Yang's photos, and found a lot of things that were not right.
The more Xu Chengyan looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The photos He Yang sent were not the goldfish he bought.
Xu Chengyan's face sank, looking at the chat record, silently, not in a good mood.
On the side, Gu Nian was still reading the script, and from time to time he used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the movements on Xu Chengyan's side.
Because of the angle, Gu Nian couldn't see the content on Xu Chengyan's phone.
However, based on the reaction on Xu Chengyan's face, Gu Nian probably guessed something, and it probably wasn't good news.
"Mr. Qin Zhou." Gu Nian broke the silence, pretending to be unintentional and asking, "What's wrong?"
Xu Chengyan put the phone back in his pocket and said casually, "It's okay, let's continue."
So the two continued to work on the script.
However, when he was reading the script, Xu Chengyan was still a little distracted.
After the pairing, Gu Nian asked with a smile, "Mr. Qin Zhou, can I do that just now?"
Xu Chengyan nodded, "Very good."
Gu Nian lowered his head slightly and said again, "But when I was in school, many people said that my acting was bad..."
Xu Chengyan looked over and said, "You are still young, take your time in the future."
"That's right, I'm still young." Gu Nian sighed, "Youth is the biggest capital..."
Xu Chengyan was still thinking about the goldfish, and was a little absent-minded.
It wasn't until the director's side was about to start filming that Xu Chengyan got up and went over to film first.
When the crew finished work, it was already evening.
Xu Chengyan went back to the hotel first, and because of the goldfish, he called He Yang directly.
As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Chengyan said directly, "He Yang, how is my goldfish?"
"On the table, the feed has already been fed at night." He Yang's tone was slow.
But Xu Chengyan fell silent.
After a while, Xu Chengyan said, "You said before that you can say what I don't like."
He Yang responded.
"I don't like someone lying to me." Xu Chengyan said slowly, and asked, "Is the photo you posted this afternoon my goldfish?"
He Yang noticed something was wrong and looked at the fish tank on the table.
In the fish tank, the little goldfish swims around happily.
He Yang did not answer, but asked, "Yanyan, what's wrong?"
"That's not my goldfish." Xu Chengyan frowned and said, "My goldfish has red tails and different shapes."
He Yang was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked towards the table, leaning over slightly, staring at the goldfish in the fish tank.
It's just that the goldfish look alike, and he can't see any difference.
"Yanyan." He Yang sighed softly, and said, "There was an accident in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengyan suddenly had a bad feeling and asked directly, "What happened to my goldfish?"
He Yang: "Qiqi broke the fish tank."
"Then what?"
"Xiao Wen trampled the goldfish to death."
Xu Chengyan was silent for a while.
He Yang apologized: "Sorry, I didn't watch Qiqi and Xiaowen."
Xu Chengyan frowned and said, "He Yang, I just gave you the goldfish yesterday."
"I'll pay you a new one."
"It's different." Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes, "My goldfish was raised to death by you, and it died in just one day."
Xu Chengyan was a little anxious for a while, and scratched his hair.
After all, that little goldfish was the first pet he kept, and now he died inexplicably.
"Yanyan—" He Yang on the other end of the phone wanted to explain something else.
However, Xu Chengyan was no longer in the mood, and said directly, "Forget it."
Xu Chengyan hung up the phone and became a little bored.
Xu Chengyan rubbed his brows, and when he inadvertently looked at the table, he saw the diary on the table.
So Xu Chengyan took the diary, opened the first page, and started writing.
[Raising dead goldfish, one 50]
[Lying with fake goldfish, one 50]
Just as Xu Chengyan was writing his diary, the phone beside him kept buzzing with reminders.
Xu Chengyan glanced at it and found that it was all news from He Yang.
However, Xu Chengyan didn't return, and went straight back to the bedroom to sleep.
The next day, Xu Chengyan came to the crew early.
Because of the goldfish being raised to death, Xu Chengyan was somewhat affected, and his face was expressionless.
The agent noticed it and asked casually, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Chengyan replied, "My goldfish is dead."
The agent was stunned for a moment, thinking of the goldfish that Xu Chengyan bought a few days ago.
The agent thought about it and asked, "Isn't your goldfish at Mr. He's side?"
"He was raised to death."
Xu Chengyan was not in a good mood, so he took the police uniform and went to the locker room to change.
When Xu Chengyan came out of the locker room, he inadvertently took a look at his phone and saw that He Yang sent another message.
Xu Chengyan still didn't return, so he went to make up first.
The manager stayed in the lounge, and suddenly received a call from He Yang.
He Yang asked, "How is he today?"
"I'm in a bad mood, the goldfish is dead." The agent sighed and couldn't help muttering: "It was fine before, why did the goldfish die..."
He Yang was silent for a while, and then asked: "He didn't reply to my message, is he angry?"
"Then I don't know." The manager's attitude is rather vague, and it is not easy to mix the feelings of the two.
He Yang thought for a while, but still said, "I'll go over now."
After hanging up, the agent looked at the phone, came to the dressing room, and found Xu Chengyan.
Xu Chengyan was still standing in front of the mirror, sorting out his clothes.
The agent leaned over and whispered, "Mr. He will come to see you in the afternoon."
After Xu Chengyan heard it, the reaction on his face was very flat, and he nodded casually, as if he didn't care much, and was going to put on makeup.
After filming a scene in the afternoon, the director called out several leading actors of the crew.
"Wait for the Investor Chamber of Commerce to come over." The director was very excited, "I will finish work early tomorrow night and pick up the boss for dinner."
Someone asked, "Which boss is that?"
"He's family." The director narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Xu Chengyan immediately understood when he heard it.
Xu Chengyan was not interested in this "Boss He", so he left first and found a chair near the studio to sit and rest.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that there was a lively noise in the distance.
Xu Chengyan looked up and saw a large group of people surrounding the man in the middle.
The director was introducing the man enthusiastically, and there were also many young actors and actresses who were taking the initiative to talk.
Xu Chengyan looked at the man's figure, remembered the goldfish again, suddenly lost his mood, got up and went back to the lounge.
Xu Chengyan stayed alone in the lounge, watching the script quietly.
Not long after, Xu Chengyan heard a knock on the door.
The door was pushed open, Xu Chengyan looked towards the door, and when he saw it was He Yang, he withdrew his gaze and didn't pay any more attention.
He Yang walked in slowly, closed the door, and shouted, "Yanyan."
He Yang walked towards the sofa and came to the young man's side, still explaining: "Yesterday was my mistake, I didn't look at it, I will buy a new goldfish to compensate you."
Xu Chengyan didn't speak, and continued to look down at the script, turning a page.
He Yang waited for a while and then asked, "Why didn't you reply today?"
Xu Chengyan still ignored it, as if he didn't hear it, and continued to flip through the script.
And He Yang looked at the child who was obviously sulking in front of him and sighed softly.
"Only children don't reply when they are angry." He Yang rested on the sofa with one hand, and touched the young man's head with the other and rubbed it.
After Xu Chengyan heard it, he raised his head and said, "You killed my goldfish."
"It's my fault." He Yang nodded and added, "But you didn't reply to my message."
"The goldfish is dead." Xu Chengyan repeated it again.
"Yanyan." He Yang had a headache for a while, so he had no choice but to say, "Let's talk about the goldfish and the fact that you don't reply."
He Yang: "solve it in an adult's way."
