CH 6

When Ye Fei woke up the next day, it was almost eleven o’clock. Except for the few days when he was sick in bed, this was the first time he slept in.

No wonder so many people cried and wanted to be salted fish, it was so comfortable. Ye Fei yawned. He lazily stretched out a hand from the quilt, fumbled for a while on the bedside, found the remote control, and opened the automatic curtain.

Sunlight slowly filled the room, removing the darkness of the room. He squinted his eyes to get used to it for a while before he got up to wash.

As expected, Yan Xiao was not at home. Ye Fei swayed to the kitchen, he grabbed something from the refrigerator at will to fill his stomach, and went out.

Yesterday, he donated all his clothes, and there was nothing left to change and wash. Today, he has to replenish what give away.

Yan Xiao’s villa was far away from the downtown area. Ye Fei drove for an hour before reaching the destination. Fortunately, there are many big names in this mall, and they are all located on the same floor, which saves him a lot of time.

He has a neat personality, and he buys clothes quickly. He didn’t even bother to try it. He thought it was good and asked the shopping guide to pack it according to his size. The order and payment were one-stop. He was very happy, and there was no room for the shopping guide who prepared a lot of [1]rainbow farts. 

[*1 Rainbow farts – praising someone or something]

Within two hours, he bought everything he needed.

After sending the big and small bags to the car, Ye Fei did not go home directly, but went to a famous snack street in the city.

It coincides with the weekend, even if it is not a meal, there are still a lot of people in the snack street. People in twos and threes walked in groups joking, they were  very lively like fireworks on display.

Ye Fei looked at the interesting things, and slowly walked  behind the crowd leisurely. Occasionally, he would go to the stall with the largest number of people to buy some snacks, and learn to walk and eat like other people. It is very pleasant.

In his previous life, he lived like a pool of stagnant water. All his life was work and Ye family, and he missed too many beautiful things. In this life, he wants to make up for it.

The corners of Ye Fei’s lips were slightly raised, and he gave a lily that he had just bought to a little girl on the side of the road with a gaping front tooth. As he was about to find something to eat, he received a call from Gu Ruijia.

”At eight o’clock tonight, BOSD bar, don’t forget it.”

”BOSD?” Ye Fei changed his hands holding the mobile phone, he pointed to the egg waffle on the menu, motioned for the boss to order one, frowning, “It’s not the golden age.” “

”Hehehe,” Gu Ruijia smiled wryly, “Sun Qiong said that these new girls from BOSD are good…”

He didn’t say the rest, but Ye Fei already understood everything.

”Damn you,” Ye Fei  laughed, took out some notes from his pocket and handed it to the boss. He went to the parking lot carrying his egg waffle, “that’s something we don’t need to talk about.”

”Why can’t we talk about it?” Gu Ruijia’s face looked upright. “We will only look and do nothing else. Look at you, you are thinking too much.”

They had been friends for years, does he still not understand Gu Ruijia’s virtues? As soon as he saw a beautiful girl, he couldn’t walk. He would really be possessed if he can do what he said.

Gu Ruijia also knew that he had a bad reputation. Seeing Ye Fei’s disbelief, he said: “This time it is true, I swear! Otherwise I will livestream swallowing shit!”

”Oh,” Ye Fei deadpan, “are you quite proud to lie just to eat and drink?”

Gu Ruijia: “…”

Gu Ruijia said he couldn’t beat him, so he simply played rogue: “Anyway, we have booked our booth. Will you come or not? If you don’t ,be careful, I will go to your company to find you myself .”

In the past, Ye Fei hated his unrestrained appearance at all, let alone go, not hanging up the phone on the spot is already an extra gratitude. But now, he feels that there is nothing wrong with having fun in time.

”Come on, grandpa will give you a face today.”

”Oh,” on the phone, Gu Ruijia’s tone rose by one degree, “It’s not easy, I thought you were going to be like my dad and would teach me a lesson before you talk.”

“What are you thinking about?” Ye Fei snorted and laughed. “Dad admits you as a son.”

”Fuck,” on the other side of the phone, Gu Ruijia couldn’t hold back his swearing, “Comrade Ye Fei, please be careful, you have been a bit too aggressive recently.”

He wanted to ask if his friend had been severely beaten by society. Even his character has changed. He felt that something was wrong, and listened for a few seconds with his ears upright: “No, where are you now? Why is it so noisy?”

Ye Fei threw the plastic bag into the trash can: “Snack Street.”

”Snack Street? You actually know how to go to that kind of place?” Gu Ruijia almost jumped up in surprise, “No, that’s not the point! Now at 6:30, you’re off work?”

Ye Fei pressed the lock of the car and got into the car: ” No– ” 

Gu Ruijia breathed a sigh of relief. Before answering the call, he heard Ye Fei continue to say: “I didn’t go to work at all.”

Gu Ruijia was really shocked now. He didn’t even pay attention to the ash falling on the table. He asked a bunch of questions: “How come? Are you sick? Did you go to the hospital? What did the doctor say?”

He did not want to make a fuss but Ye Fei is really desperate to work. After taking over Dingyuan for such a long time, he worked overtime every day until midnight, not even taking an hour off.

If he didn’t go to work today, he is afraid that something really happened.

Gu Ruijia stood up holding the phone and said, “Forget it, give me the address and I will find you.”

Ye Fei was both laughing and moved: “Don’t think about it, I just plan to take a break.” He buckled his seat belt. While starting the radio, he said, “I won’t tell you, drive.”

Gu Ruijia originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but after thinking that they would see each other at night and he could tell him later, he said: “Okay, then be careful on the road.”

Ye Fei arrived at the bar almost half past eight. Unluckily, he ran into the rush hour, and the road was blocked. If he hadn’t taken the trail quickly, he would still be stuck.

In the bar, the sound of music is deafening, and the exciting melody beats the drum beat on the heart. Ye Fei frowned uncomfortably and asked the doorman who led the way: “Are my companions there yet?”

The doorman respectfully pointed to the front: “It’s here.”

Ye Fei looked in his direction. In the deck, Gu Ruijia was holding a wine glass with Sun Qiong, they drank the wine in mouthfuls. Zhou Zhensheng cheered on, his eyebrows were about to fly with excitement.

Sun Qiong and Zhou Zhensheng are friends of Gu Ruijia. Ye Fei had a meal with them, but they didn’t know each other well.

Ye Fei thanked the doorman, and walked over to several people.

”Will Ye Fei come?” Sun Qiong drank a bottle of wine, already a little drunk, and shouted at Gu Ruijia, “What time is it?! He is still at the company.”

Ye Fei is a workaholic. The name is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even someone like Sun Qiong who has nothing to do with him knows a thing or two.

Gu Ruijia tried to defend his friend, but on second thought, he was a little confused. He only hesitated and said, “It can’t be?”

”Let’s call to know,” Zhou Zhensheng grabbed the phone. With his thumb, he unlocked the lock screen and found Ye Fei’s number.

Before he could dial out, he was held down by a white and slender hand.

”Sorry,” Ye Fei picked up an empty wine glass and filled it himself, “I’m late.”

”Who are you?” Zhou Zhensheng raised his head with a dazed expression. He felt that the person in front of him was a bit familiar, but the alcohol was on his head. He can’t remember the name.

He blinked his eyes vigorously, his gaze rolled around on Ye Fei’s face, and he thought to himself, is it possible that his charm has risen recently, is this handsome guy here to strike up a conversation with him?

Zhou Zhensheng shyly straightened his hair and coughed pretentiously: “You–“

Gu Ruijia’s loud voice interrupted him: “Ye Fei?!”

Zhou Zhensheng’s hand shook  and almost poured out the wine. What? Is this person Ye Fei?  Ye Fei, the native programmer who is ashamed of himself?

”What?” Ye Fei raised his eyebrows. He looked at the empty glass and sat down next to Gu Ruijia, “You don’t know me anymore?”

He was wearing a slim-fitting shirt. The shirt was all black, and only a brightly colored flower vine was printed on the waist. The intense color conflict is extremely eye-catching, the waves-dangzhong reveals high-level, and the sorrow is a little fresh.

The shirt collar was slightly messy, and two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a straight collarbone and a raised throat. The hair was no longer fixed with hairspray, but rather loosely scattered and placed on the brow bone at will. Under the blurred light, it became more beautiful and charming. Compared with the old and serious appearance before, it was nothing alike.

”You…” Gu Ruijia stared at him blankly, “What kind of stimulation did you experience?”

Ye Fei touched his cup and curled his lips with a smile: “It’s just a different image, what’s the fuss about.” Between the laughs, it was an unstoppable romance, and even Sun Qiong, a straight steel man, couldn’t help being caught a little bit.

Because of his arrival, the fairly low-key deck became the focus of the bar in an instant, and eyes from all directions came over frequently.

Ye Fei seemed to be unable to feel it, drinking and chatting peacefully, unmoved at all.

When the cup bottomed out, Zhou Zhensheng immediately squeezed Gu Ruijia away and filled his cup.

When Sun Qiong saw this, he prolonged the tone and ridiculed: “Old Zhou, don’t just serve Ye Fei alone. Give me a cup too.”

Zhou Zhensheng looked at Ye Fei’s face, and then at his face, disgustingly said: “It’s quite beautiful to be ugly.”

Sun Qiong: “…”

He shouldn’t be humiliated, Zhou Zhensheng is a fucking double-standard dog!

Several people laughed for a while, and Gu Ruijia brought up the business: “What do you think about “The Way to Upgrade the Favored Concubine ?”

Zhou Zhensheng drew the chair to Ye Fei, and then said: “I and Lao Sun think this drama is worth investing in, Brother Fei, you are—” He paused, lowered his voice, “Is there any internal news?”

Of course there is internal news, but he can’t tell them directly.

Ye Fei leaned against the back of the chair, put down the wine glass, propped his chin with one hand: “It’s a bit.”

This IP has been evaluated by industry leaders many times, and all aspects have shown that it is profitable. It is obviously impossible to persuade a few people from the data, so he had to pretend to be profound and said:  “I have read this novel before, and many plots in it are not suitable for adaptation, which is very difficult. Moreover, the screenwriter designated by Blue Ocean is good at urban light comedy, and there is no splash in his previous costume drama. “

”This way.”

Guruijia several people don’t really know much about film and television, but they have more spare cash in their hands, and they heard that this piece is profitable, so they followed suit and plunged into it. He was dumbfounded that he nodded unconsciously .

”But—” Sun Qiong is still a little hesitant, “Many people are very optimistic about this drama, and the director Yu Chunsheng is a guarantee of ratings. He has never had a failed work since his debut.”

Ye Fei shook his head: ” Believe me anyway, don’t invest.”

”Puff–” A familiar voice sneered  behind him. Ye Fei didn’t need to look back to know that it was his cheap brother, “Ye Fei, why are you cheating your friends?”
