Chapter 78：

-*

In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve is over. The Zheng family's New Year's Eve dinner is very lively. Zhao Yao can be pulled into the lively atmosphere without saying much. It doesn't look like the Zhao family's deserted appearance during the New Year's Eve. Several members of the Zheng family are playing cards while playing cards. Chatting, Uncle Wang also joined it. The Spring Festival Gala was being broadcast on the TV not far away, and his aunt came over to play with him, but Zhao Yao was really not interested in this, so he sat next to Zheng Leqi and played with his mobile phone.

There are a lot of New Year's greetings on the mobile phone. Zhao Yao is sitting in the lively living room, watching the messages that pop up on the mobile phone, and suddenly thinks about the events of his previous life. He has not celebrated the New Year for a long time. In the past, when I was sitting in the group's office during the New Year's Day, the night was so quiet that there was only the slight mouse sound, and the continuous group blessings from the mobile phone vx. Later, his Chinese New Year was spent in a nursing home. The wall-mounted screen in the ward was showing the lively Spring Festival Gala. The bright lights were on, but it was so dark that there was nothing.

But now it is completely different, he is sitting in the lively world, and the surroundings are no longer deserted.

Chen Xi rarely gave himself a holiday during the Chinese New Year. As a workaholic who never returned home, he was finally loved by his family at this time of the Chinese New Year. When he escaped from the loving eyes of all the aunts and aunts, he suddenly felt that Working overtime during the New Year is also a good option. He was sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. He first sent several red envelopes to various groups in the company, and then began to send blessings to his own leaders. When he edited a long article, he wrote a very sincere New Year's copy to President Zhao, and sent it out with confidence. .

After a while, he received a reply from Mr. Zhao, and also received a New Year's red envelope.

Chen Xi sat up flattered. This was the first time Mr. Zhao had sent him a reply other than an emoji. He silently took a screenshot of this epic reply.

Zhao Yao replied very seriously to the blessings of acquaintances on the phone, and sent a New Year's red envelope to several people. When he finished replying to those messages and switched to the chat message interface, he suddenly saw a small red envelope sent by Pei Mingzhan. .

Pei Mingzhan: [Red envelope] Happy New Year to my boyfriend.

Zhao Yao: Happy New Year.

Several members of the Zheng family have work to do. Zheng Leqi is a little nervous sitting next to Zhao Yao. The Zheng family also has some relatives, like Zhao Yao's older brother, but Zheng Leqi doesn't feel like Zhao Yao's on other brothers. With that kind of temperament, as long as his cousin sits next to him and does nothing, it can give him a great sense of oppression.

But in addition to the oppression, he was very curious about his cousin. He wanted to take the initiative to communicate but couldn't find the right time, and even the game in his hand became unpleasant.

Earlier, my cousin did talk to him, so he asked about his studies, and then gave him a lucky red envelope.

Now that his cousin is sitting and playing with his phone, he wants to find a topic to break the embarrassment.

"Cousin..." Zheng Leqi started the topic a little nervously: "Why don't you play cards with them?"

Zhao Yao tilted his head slightly. Seeing that his cousin was not using his mobile phone, he was looking at him curiously, so he said, "I'm chatting, what's wrong?"

Zheng Leqi: "Just... My dad said that you have started an entertainment company by yourself. Are there many stars in your company?"

"Who do you want to know?" Zhao Yao rarely talks to Zheng Leqi's children at this stage, and his current perspective is different from that of children. He can only say that there is a generation gap, and it is really difficult to communicate. He didn't care much about Huihua Culture. Seeing that the child was interested in these things, his first thought was that he should be interested in certain stars.

Zheng Leqi: "Ah? Just who are the stars in my cousin's company?"

Zhao Yao thought about it carefully and said a few names, but only Ji Heyu was known to the child Zheng Leqi. Although Xiao Ji is a newcomer, his popularity has grown rapidly. Now he is the key training target of Huihua, and it is also a topic of high topic among the younger generation.

"My classmates were chasing "The Voice" at the time, and I thought Brother Yu was super strong." Zheng Leqi finally found a breakthrough in the topic and introduced Zhao Yao what the people in his class thought about Ji Heyu.

Zhao Yao listened to the excited voice of the child, and on the other hand, Pei Mingzhan had sent photos of the Chinese New Year on his mobile phone for several years. The Pei family looked very lively. He saw other members of the Pei family from Pei Mingzhan's photos. , and then Pei Mingzhan also sent a photo, which was taken by their fans in Starbucks before.

Pei Mingzhan: [Photo] I forgot to send it to you last time.

Zhao Yao looked at the photo and felt that Pei Mingzhan in the photo was smiling particularly brightly, so he silently saved the photo.

Zhao Yao: My cousin is chatting with me. Do children of this age like to chase stars?

Pei Mingzhan: chasing stars? Is that the one I signed two days ago?

Zhao Yao: He doesn't seem to be chasing you, he's chasing Xiaoji.

Zheng Leqi's mouth was dry, and his cousin responded to him from time to time, making him feel that his relationship with his cousin had also progressed a little. Speaking of that, he was called by his brother who was playing cards on the other side, and reluctantly passed by. Zhao Yao's surroundings became quiet again. He glanced at the chat interface in his mobile phone and dialed a voice call to Pei Mingzhan. .

The Chinese New Year was very lively in Pei's family. In the past few days, relatives came to visit, and it was even more lively tonight, with many people coming. Pei Mingzhan has never liked such occasions. He has been out all year round and is not familiar with these faces. This kind of New Year's greetings will last at least until nine or ten. He listened to the boredom and went to a quiet place to talk to Zhao Yao. to chat with.

In vx, Zhao Yao was talking to him about the Zheng family's Chinese New Year. Although it was very simple, it was the first time that Pei Mingzhan saw Zhao Yao like this. The more he got along with Zhao Yao, the more he felt that Zhao Yao was a very guarded person. He always kept a safe distance when talking about topics with people, and even only stayed within the same topic range, never Take the initiative to bring up other things.

When the two of them first got along, Pei Mingzhan could only start chatting with topics that Zhao Yao was interested in, and Zhao Yao would only ask and answer questions within the scope of this topic, and never took the initiative to raise other topics. The relationship is getting better and better, and Zhao Yaocai occasionally brings up his own affairs.

The atmosphere of the Zhao family was depressing. Pei Mingzhan had met Zhao Changshuo several times, but Zhao Yao's attitude towards Zhao Changshuo was not like a family member. And when I saw Zhao Yao's message tonight, this was the first time I saw Zhao Yao's attitude towards his relatives being so relaxed, which made him feel a little distressed.

"Brother Mingzhan." A slightly clear voice sounded.

Pei Mingzhan turned his attention away from the screen of his mobile phone, and looked sideways at a young man dressed in fashion. When he spoke, the chain on his clothes shook and made a small noise.

It's a relative's child. I can't name it, and it's not familiar.

Every year during the New Year's Eve, the Pei family comes to visit, some of them are close friends, while others come to disturb them.

This child is a relative from his father's side, and he doesn't know him well, but he has a vague impression.

"Is something wrong?" Pei Mingzhan asked.

The young man had a hearty smile on his face: "No, everyone is sitting inside, why are you here, Mingzhan brother?"

He specially came to visit with his parents today, but he didn't expect that Pei Mingzhan would not stay there to talk with people, but instead went to this cold place to play with his mobile phone. He heard that Pei Mingzhan was going to quit the circle. His parents were very nervous. Originally, Pei Mingzhan was very happy to go to the entertainment circle, but when they heard that Pei Mingzhan was going to come back, they were worried that the second young master of the Pei family would be airborne to the management and affect their relationship. Benefit.

The teenager didn't think this was a bad thing. Pei Mingzhan went to the entertainment industry to play tickets. Now it's a good thing to be able to return to the group.

Seeing that Pei Mingzhan didn't speak, he continued to talk: "I heard that Brother Mingzhan is not in the entertainment industry, which is good. When he comes back, he helps Brother Mingyan manage the affairs of the group, which is much better than that circle. Brother Zhan's ability will definitely expand Pei's business even better in just a few years."

The smoky place in the entertainment industry has sullied Pei Mingzhan's identity outside.

Pei Mingzhan frowned slightly: "Are you okay?"

The boy's face froze, and he said, "I'm talking about something inside. I sound a little bored. I'll chat with Brother Mingzhan."

At this time, Pei Mingzhan's cell phone rang, and it was Zhao Yao who called.

The two just talked about Zhao Yao's cousin on the phone, and Pei Mingzhan immediately called the phone and said softly, "Your cousin won't talk to you anymore? Call me when you have time?"

The young man was slightly taken aback when he heard Pei Mingzhan's tone. He had never heard Pei Mingzhan speak in such a tone.

Pei Mingzhan spoke to the person on the other side of the phone in a gentle voice, but glanced at the boy with a chill in his eyes, then turned and walked in the other direction, without giving the boy any wink at all.

The young man was a little unwilling to follow up, but when he walked over, he ran into Pei Mingyan, the eldest of the Pei family, who came down from the second floor.

Pei Mingyan was chatting with a friend upstairs, and he came downstairs when he was about to send his friend away, and then met Pei Mingzhan walking by with his mobile phone.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the relative's child coming in from the balcony, and it seemed that he was going to follow Pei Mingzhan.

He has seen this child several times, and every time he comes here, he likes to inquire about Pei Mingzhan's affairs with the servants at home.

And the outside balcony is where Pei Mingzhan loves to stay, but it's obviously not even where he usually likes to blow his hair.

When the teenager saw Pei Mingyan, he bowed his head and said hello, "Brother Mingyan."

Pei Mingyan inadvertently reached out to stop people, "Didn't your parents tell you not to walk around in Pei's old house?"

The young man gritted his teeth slightly: "I just talked to Brother Mingzhan, I'll go find him here."

Pei Mingyan's friend laughed when he heard the words: "Which child doesn't understand the rules?"

The more the boy listened, the stiffer his face became, "I..."

Pei Mingyan glanced at him casually, and walked past him with his friends. He met the housekeeper on the way, so he instructed: "The child and his family who just went to the balcony will not need to let them in in the future."

The butler looked serious when he heard this, "Okay, young master."

"Isn't that kid still talking about chasing me?" Pei Mingzhan turned around and walked to the garden outside Pei's house, continuing the topic of the two of them just now, and asked with a smile, "Now you're infatuated with Xiaoji?"

Zhao Yao paused slightly, "Young people like that."

Pei Mingzhan asked, "What about you?"

Zhao Yao said: "I like you like this."

Pei Mingzhan smiled: "It seems that I have to take a movie next year, otherwise my popularity will dissipate, what if you don't like me?"

"No." Zhao Yao said again: "I heard the wind is a bit strong over there, aren't you in the house?"

Pei Mingzhan: "Come out and have a good time. Someone came to visit at night. The house is a little messy."

Zhao Yao knew this: "It's really annoying."

…

After playing cards, my aunt wanted to ask Zhao Yao if he wanted to eat fruit, but she didn't see anyone on the sofa, so she asked Zheng Leqi, "Xiaoqi, have you seen your cousin?"

Zheng Leqi was chatting with Zhao Yao just now, when he was called away by his brother, so he said, "I seem to see my cousin calling."

A few poker elders paused, "Oh, let's continue."

Little Young Da made a call during the New Year's Day, and they, who are elders, can't be bothered.

In the middle of the night, Pei Mingzhan, who has never posted on Weibo, posted another Weibo for the first time. The picture on Weibo is the red lantern hanging high in the beaming zoo. Because of the strange angle of taking the picture, it looks ugly and cute. .

@ Pei Mingzhan: [Red Envelope] Happy New Year [Picture]

As soon as Zhao Yao hung up the phone with him, he received a Weibo update notification. He clicked in to see the photo they took when they were at the H City Zoo a few days ago. At that time, he said that the red lantern was very big, and Pei Mingzhan said Taking a picture for comparison, he just pushed him to stand under the red lantern, and then took a comparison picture.

And the one posted on Weibo was actually cut off, and the other half is of him standing under the red lantern.

Zhao Yao looked at the red envelope icon in the text, and suddenly thought that he didn't send a red envelope to Pei Mingzhan, so he switched back to the vx interface and sent a New Year's red envelope to Pei Mingzhan. Posted several more.

When he finished sending the red envelopes, he found that the new year push of the xshui forum APP he downloaded was just pushed over, which is a summary of love strategies during the new year.

X Water Forum adheres to the principle of consistent love, and pushes various strategies on the first day of the new year. Zhao Yao has not clicked on it for a while. If he sees the push, he will go in and have a look, and the title is also strange.

#Don't get up during the new year strategy#

#Recommended tourist destinations across the country#

#How to fix a long-distance relationship during the Chinese New Year? #

#Shocked, it turns out that the New Year is like this...#

Zhao Yao was a little surprised when he saw these guides. Although the title is strange, there are real guides inside. Many of the recommended dry goods were not seen by Zhao Yao when he browsed the forum before. He collected them one by one and prepared to follow them. Pei Mingzhan gave it a try, and when he reached the last title of the push content, he suddenly frowned.

#New Year's visit how to satisfy the parents of the man/woman? #

On the other hand, Weibo was very lively, and various artists sent New Year wishes. The humble Zhao Fan failed to squat at Huihua Culture and the official website of the fried sauce noodle platform. And Pei Zhao CP's super words are silently topped with a careful analysis post of a big man.

@小仙女爱酒茶: Counting the recent strange behaviors of Shadow Emperor Pei and rumors from friends outside the circle, the matter of Emperor Pei’s semi-retirement is almost a done deal. Logically speaking, the frequency of his Weibo updates will be relatively reduced to achieve fading out. The purpose of the entertainment industry, but since three months ago, actor Pei's motivation to post Weibo has been a little strange, so I specially made a detailed analysis for everyone to hit CP.

[long image]

The picture analyzes in detail the time, place and character of each Weibo post by Pei Mingzhan, and even matches with Mr. Zhao's itinerary several times. A coincidence can be said to be a coincidence, but many coincidences make people feel a bit crooked inside. After this long analysis, a lot of diving CP fans suddenly exploded.

[Thanks to the blogger, I hit it. 】

[The moonlight is sultry! I said at the time that I thought it was a bit strange, and then the illegitimate matter broke out the next day to divert my attention. Now that I think that the person watching the scenery with Lao Pei that night might be Xiao Zhao, I suddenly feel refreshed! 】

【! ! The blogger is so right, and that dinner picture! The two have a really good relationship. They go to the aquarium during the day and go home for dinner at night. I don't know if they think they are a couple! 】

[The one from Starbucks two days ago, I think it was Xiao Zhao himself, that watch hammer! 】

[Has no one analyzed Pei Mingzhan's New Year's greetings? Red lantern, the composition is so strange...]

[My work is related. When I saw Pei Yingdi's picture, the first impression was that it was half a picture, maybe half of it was deducted by him. 】

[Fuck, I thought it was an alternative ugly and cute picture, so it turns out that there is such a thought in it. 】

[Lao Pei's photography skills are not bad, no matter how ugly his skills are, he can't make such strange pictures, right? 】

[Wori, what is the other half? I'm so curious, my mind can't control it and I've started to think about it. 】

Pei Mingzhan changed his trumpet, first liked and forwarded it to Zhao Yao's Weibo, and then cut to Pei Zhao CP's super chat. Recently, Zhao Yao has been reposting the super chat information related to him, and he also likes to send him fan pictures of the two. It is said that netizens draw beautifully. Pei Mingzhan also found the little super talk of Pei Zhao CP along his trumpet. As soon as he clicked in, he saw the long picture analysis at the front. He glanced slightly, and then liked the blogger. .

The liveliness of the Pei's family has already dissipated. Seeing that Pei Mingzhan was still playing with his mobile phone on the sofa in the living room, the eldest brother of the Pei family said, "I wondered how you could call in the garden. It turned out that the place was occupied. won't come."

Pei Mingzhan's tone was light: "Some people have moved a lot. There are more people coming to the house this year than in previous years. It seems that you put a lot of pressure on them last time."

The eldest brother of Pei's family paused for a while, and he would not talk about some things on the bright side, "My parents were really afraid of what happened to the crew before. Originally, my father didn't care much about the group's affairs, but because of that accident, the shareholders were in the dark. There was a tantrum at the meeting, and most of those people came to apologize tonight, and on the one hand, they were also testing Dad's attitude."

"I was not careful that time, too." Pei Mingzhan loosened his shoulders after speaking, "I'll bring Zhao Yao over in two days, you can tell my mother something for me."

The eldest brother of the Pei family said, "Don't she know about your relationship with Zhao Yao? I've been talking about when to bring people over for the past two days."

It's not that their family is not open-minded, and Zhao Yao is his mother's favorite.

In vx, Pei Mingzhan still hasn't received a bunch of red envelopes sent by Zhao Yao.

Pei Mingzhan silently cut back and opened them one by one.

On the other side, the eldest brother of the Pei family came over curiously when he saw that he didn't speak, "What is God doing mysteriously?"

Pei Mingzhan also openly opened the chat log to him, and the eldest brother of the Pei family saw the content in it unexpectedly.

Yaoyao: [vx red envelope]

Yaoyao: [vx red envelope]

Yaoyao: [vx red envelope]

…

Yaoyao: [vx red envelope]

Pei Mingzhan: [kiss]

The person who noted "Yaoyao" sent at least a dozen red envelopes, and at the end of the chat record was Pei Mingzhan's shameless emoji.

Pei's eldest brother: "..."

Pei Mingzhan calmly turned off the screen and said simply, "I'm afraid she'll be too excited and scare people."

-*

It's rare for Zhao Yao to stay up late. Since Pei Mingzhan urged him to go to bed early every night, he hasn't stayed up until two or three o'clock for a long time. As soon as I finished reading the strategy in the forum, I saw the news of Zhao's group sent by his confidant. Zhao Zhikai really chose to keep Zhao Qizhen and give up Bai Chengxue as he expected, and because of this incident, there was quite a lot of criticism within the group, and even Bai Chengxue A few years ago, he was taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of leaking secrets. It is estimated that the Zhao family is now in a mess.

He sent the next instruction to his confidant, cut it out, and saw that Pei Mingzhan sent [kiss] two hours ago in the chat box that he pinned to the top.

How come there is no prompt? He didn't even know Pei Mingzhan replied.

Zhao Yao paused for a while, then rummaged through the emoji package Yao Bai had collected a few days ago, and finally found a cute [Kissing] emoji package and sent it over.

The author has something to say: Pepe: [kiss]

Brother Yao turned over the emoticon package for half an hour: [kiss]

Big Brother Pei, who witnessed everything:...
