Chapter 141 The toy fell out and Zhu Yu died
It has been a week since Fairy Sword was officially finished.
In addition, as the Spring Festival gets closer and closer, the local New Year flavor in Beijing has become slightly stronger.
Of course, this aspect is still not as good as before.
The owner of Xu Kong Studio, who is also a native of Beijing, has been lamenting from time to time recently, thinking that the Chinese New Year is becoming less and less interesting now.
Apart from these, there are far fewer people visible to the naked eye in the capital.
Although the annual holiday has not yet come, the number of people leaving the capital to go home for the New Year is gradually increasing.
"Rat!"
"Why are you raising this potted plant to death?"
"Is it reliable?"
Feng Ge, in Xu Kong's personal studio.
Looking at the Clivia that was already mostly withered, Xu Kong couldn't help but cursed loudly.
Perhaps because of Zhu Yu's influence, Xu Kong also raised several pots of green plants in his office.
However, because he is quite busy, Guo Zihao is almost always asked to help take care of him.
"I don't know, I water on time every day."
Guo Zihao looked innocent.
At the same time, there are still some minor grievances.
"When I was your agent before, you should call me Brother Hao."
"Now they just call me a rat."
Xu Kong rolled his eyes, but in the end he was too lazy to argue with the other party.
"You will tell others later that we will take annual leave in advance"
Xu Kong had no other announcements or schedule except for the later stages of Fairy Sword, so he simply gave the studio staff a holiday in advance.
"I watered too frequently and the roots seem to be rotten."
In Zhu Yu's office, she used a small shovel to loosen the soil of the Clivia that Xu Kong brought over, and reminded her.
"Why don't you just let Sister Yu go and keep her here?"
Xu Kong felt that he simply thought too much. In his current state, he did not have as much time and energy as Zhu Yu.
And most of the time I don’t even go to the studio.
What kind of potted plants should I raise if I have nothing to do?
"Leave me here first, I'll probably die if you take it back."
Zhu Yu also spoke.
"By the way, is the cooperation with Shui Mu going well?"
Zhu Yu brought the loosened flowerpot to the top shelf of her office and placed it.
Xu Kong nodded: "The effects of the first two episodes are quite good."
"However, according to this progress, it is estimated that it will take March or April to complete the later stage."
He also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and he also pays attention to working slowly and carefully.
I'll probably have to stay here at Fengge's headquarters for a long time to come.
"By the way, who is in Sister Yu's family?"
"Do I need to bring some New Year's goods there?"
Xu Kong asked.
After thinking about it for the past two days, he actually still hasn't decided who he will spend this Spring Festival with.
Fortunately, no one else agreed.
The only option was to go to Zhu Yu's house as agreed before.
"It's just Minmin and I at home, and there's no shortage of things, so you don't have to spend any money."
Zhu Yu had already accepted Xu Kong's coming to her home to celebrate the New Year, and now she opened her mouth to answer.
"Is it just you and Minmin?"
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that Zhu Yu's parents would also come together.
"My parents are both in my hometown, and"
Zhu Yu stopped mid-sentence.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he answered truthfully:
“And I’ve been doing this for these years, and I’m used to it.”
“I probably won’t go back to my hometown again”
Xu Kong didn't know much about Zhu Yu's affairs.
But from the looks of it, he probably doesn't have a good relationship with his family.
With less than ten days left before the Lunar New Year, Xu Kong received an unexpected announcement.
This time he couldn't refuse.
Because it was the work arranged by Feng Ge.
Let Fengge's first- and second-tier artists collectively record a New Year blessing video.
In fact, it probably won’t take too much time in total.
Even the shots of Xu Kong himself only lasted for more than ten or twenty seconds.
But there were too many people participating, and they were all recorded in the same studio.
It still takes most of the day to go back and forth.
Regarding the artists under Feng Ge, Xu Kong could name quite a few of them, but he probably only knew a few of them truly.
But when the official recording started, Xu Kong actually met an acquaintance.
"Director Xu, this way!"
When Yan Jiaheng saw Xu Kong, he waved to him happily.
His role in "The Promise of Night" was completed some time ago, and he just returned to the capital in the past two days.
Xu Kong glanced at it and finally walked to sit next to Yan Jiaheng.
Mainly because he didn't know any of the other people in the studio at this time.
"Director Xu, you must help me!"
After Xu Kong sat down, Yan Jiaheng couldn't wait to lower his voice and spoke.
Looking at the other party's somewhat depressed expression, Xu Kong could most likely guess that it was probably related to Shang Yuxin.
"Xinxin doesn't know why, but she has become cold towards me since she finished filming and returned to the capital."
It seemed that he finally found someone to complain to. At this moment, Yan Jiaheng began to talk non-stop.
Of course, in reality most of the back and forth consisted of those words.
How good he is to Xinxin and how much he likes her.
"Director Xu, what do you think I should do now?"
After finally finishing speaking, Yan Jiaheng looked at Xu Kong.
Xu Kong couldn't help complaining in his heart: "How do I know if I'm riding a horse!"
But I still comforted him casually:
"Is it possible that she has been a little busy recently?"
"I don't mean to ignore you, it's because there are too many things to do."
He made this excuse, but Xu Kong himself didn't believe it.
But it gave Yan Jiaheng a reason to convince himself at this time
"That must be the case. I just said Xinxin wouldn't suddenly ignore me."
Others may not be sure, but Xu Kong knows Shang Yuxin's recent itinerary clearly.
The main reason is that the other party has sent him messages almost every day in the past two days.
Even though Xu Kong was too lazy to reply, Shang Yuxin still insisted on posting.
But unlike before, this time Shang Yuxin didn't deliberately send any hints to him.
Instead, it's all about daily life, including what I did today, who I met, etc.
This made Xu Kong couldn't help but wonder, could this Shang Green Tea really fall in love with him?
But then he woke up again. It was obvious that the other party had changed his tactics again and was waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"Director Xu, Director Xu?"
"What's wrong with you?"
Yan Jiaheng noticed that Xu Kong was suddenly in a daze and couldn't help shouting twice more.
Xu Kong came to his senses.
Then he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm probably in a bad mood recently."
"When she feels better, she will probably be willing to see you."
Although Xu Kong's words reassured Yan Jiaheng a little, he was still worried about gains and losses.
"I hope so"
"Director Xu!"
Xu Kong just finished filming Feng Ge's New Year blessing video in the morning and listened to Yan Jiaheng's complaints.
Not long after I came to my studio in the afternoon, Shang Yuxin unexpectedly came over.
Everyone else in the studio was on vacation, but Guo Zihao was in the artist department downstairs, ostensibly asking Zhu Yu to check his schedule.
But Xu Kong knew that he had not made any announcements recently.
There is a high probability that the other party went to find Zhu Yu's assistant.
"Who are these flowers for? They are so beautiful."
Shang Yuxin just entered Xu Kong's office, and her eyes were attracted by the large bouquet of flowers on Xu Kong's table.
He said with a somewhat sour tone.
Xu Kong glanced at it casually, but replied with an unchanged expression:
"Sent to you."
Xu Kong's answer surprised her.
"Real or false?"
Xu Kong nodded.
"You happened to be here, take it back by the way."
Although Xu Kong had already said this, Shang Yuxin still didn't believe it.
The main reason is that since returning to Fengge, Xu Kong still maintains a deliberate distance from her.
Although she felt that she was enthusiastic and sincere enough, it had no effect at all.
Shang Yuxin picked up the card in the flower and took a look at it.
"To: Dear Xinxin"
Is it really for yourself?
Shang Yuxin was obviously stunned for a moment.
She never thought about this possibility at all, and subconsciously thought that Xu Kong gave it to Song Youyou.
But Shang Yuxin soon reacted.
When did Xu Kong call him "Xinxin"?
So she directly ignored the disgusting words on the card and glanced at the name at the end. When she saw Yan Jiaheng, she felt disappointed.
"It's really for you."
"Yan Jiaheng asked me to help"
Xu Kong explained. After meeting with Yan Jiaheng in the morning, the other party said that Shang Yuxin had not seen him, so he begged Xu Kong for a long time to help deliver flowers.
He also asked him to pay attention to Shang Yuxin's reaction after receiving the flowers.
But obviously, before he had time to observe Shang Yuxin's expression, and even in the middle of his words, Shang Yuxin turned around and walked towards the door.
"Hey, why are you leaving?"
Xu Kong didn't react.
"I want you to take care of it!"
Shang Yuxin said without looking back.
Xu Kong was confused. Wasn't his fall out too fast?
He didn't even know why Shang Yuxin came to see him this time.
In the following days, Xu Kong spent most of his time staring at the post-production of Fairy Sword, except for taking a break in his studio from time to time.
The arrival of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
"Are you sure you won't be discovered?"
"Why don't you wait for me in the car."
On New Year's Eve, all employees at Shuimu Studio and Xianjian responsible for post-editing were also on holiday.
Xu Kong followed Zhu Yu to the mall to buy new year goods.
"Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing."
Xu Kong replied nonchalantly.
In addition to being disguised, he also had a beard on his face. Xu Kong had accumulated too much experience over the years in preventing recognition.
However, Zhu Yu still seemed a little uneasy.
Because she knew very well that if she and Xu Kong were photographed at this time, they would be in big trouble.
"Don't buy so much"
"Minmin can't finish her food."
Seeing Xu Kong buying several large bags of various candies, Zhu Yu couldn't help but remind him.
"Mainly I bought it for you."
Xu Kong didn't stop the movement of his hands, but just replied lightly.
Although Zhu Yu herself hid it very well, Xu Kong still discovered that Zhu Yu herself seemed to like sweet things, especially sugar.
In the drawer of the other party's office, there is a large jar of various candies.
Zhu Yu was obviously stunned after hearing Xu Kong's words. She didn't expect that Xu Kong would notice this.
At this moment, the two of them were wandering in the supermarket one after another. Xu Kong was pushing the shopping cart in front, and she followed quietly behind.
If I didn’t say anything, outsiders would probably think they were a loving couple
After a while, Zhu Yu suddenly reacted.
Stop such random thoughts immediately.
"Minmin should still be sleeping, please keep your voice down."
It can be seen that as the manager of Fengge, Zhu Yu's salary is still very good.
The mother and daughter live in a three-bedroom apartment of about 100 square meters.
Just like in the office, Zhu Yu's home is also tidy.
There are also several certificates from Zhu Min's kindergarten and a photo of the two of them on the TV cabinet.
After helping to store and organize all the New Year's goods she bought, Zhu Yu began to cook the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Want to help?"
Looking towards the kitchen, Xu Kong took the initiative to ask.
"Forget it, don't make any trouble for me."
Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't trust him very much, Xu Kong got angry.
He took the initiative to walk in and start helping.
But not long after, he was kicked out directly.
“I haven’t cooked for a long time, I’m a bit rusty”
Xu Kong showed some embarrassment and forced his respect.
"Big brother?"
Not long after, Zhu Min walked out wearing cartoon pajamas, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
After seeing Xu Kong, Zhu Min was obviously a little surprised, and then he was pleasantly surprised.
Zhu Yu glanced at Xu Kong, who was peeling candy for her daughter to eat, and a smile appeared on her lips inadvertently.
Although there is only one more person, I don’t know why, but compared to previous New Year’s Eves, the house feels much more lively.
"Don't feed her, she's still losing her teeth."
Because she was alone, Zhu Yu cooked the New Year's Eve dinner from the afternoon until six o'clock in the evening.
“It’s so rich!”
Zhu Min looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes shining.
"This is called New Year's Eve dinner. Do you like to celebrate the New Year?"
Xu Kong asked with a smile while helping to serve the dishes.
"Like it!"
Zhu Min's face was full of happiness.
But he asked with some confusion: "But there weren't so many delicious food during the Chinese New Year last year."
"Mom said it would be a waste if you cook too much and can't finish it."
"Is it because big brother you are here this year?"
When Zhu Yu heard this, she couldn't help coughing twice.
"Minmin, what should you do before eating?"
When Zhu Min heard this, she answered honestly: "Wash your hands first~"
"Then why don't you come over quickly?"
Zhu Yu said and took Zhu Min to wash his hands.
A large table of dishes, but not much was actually eaten.
Mother and daughter Zhu Yu and Zhu Min didn't eat much, but Xu Kong ate several bowls of rice alone.
Then he praised Zhu Yu for making delicious food.
"You should also eat less, don't go back to work after the New Year and get fat."
Zhu Yu still remembered her identity as Xu Kong's manager and gave him a few reminders.
Xu Kong complained: "Sister Yu, you really know how to ruin the atmosphere."
He praised him like that, but he didn't expect Zhu Yu would react like this.
"I love celebrating the New Year!"
After eating, while helping to clean up, Zhu Min suddenly spoke seriously.
“Is it because I can eat delicious food?”
Xu Kong asked with a smile.
"Yeah."
Zhu Min nodded, and then continued: "And because big brother is here, my mother and I are very happy."
When Zhu Yu heard her daughter's words, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
He glared at Zhu Min and seemed to say that he would take her with him if he didn't say anything else.
After eating, the three people who had nothing to do began to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Xu Kong seemed to have heard Su Zhi say before that she was invited to this year's official TV Spring Festival Gala.
But Su Zhi declined because she hadn't been home for the New Year for a long time.
This kind of thing is not unusual for other people, but it is indeed quite rare for Su Zhi, a workaholic singer.
As time passed, Zhu Min fell asleep while lying on the sofa.
When Zhu Yu found out, she gently carried him into the bedroom.
"Then I'll leave first"
Xu Kong looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. He stood up and spoke.
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Sleep here, it's so late, and it's Chinese New Year."
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment when he heard that Zhu Yu took the initiative to stay.
However, when Zhu Yu saw Xu Kong's expression, she seemed to be worried that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "I mean, the side lying on the side is empty."
After Zhu Yu took Xu Kong to sleep on his side, as soon as he turned on the light, he suddenly remembered something.
He said in a panic: "You go out first, and I will tidy up the bed."
"It's okay, just leave it like that, no more trouble."
Xu Kong replied casually.
He said that he would lie down directly.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu didn't know where she got the strength to pull her directly.
“It’s better to change the sheets and quilt cover!”
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "Then I will help you."
He casually grabbed the quilt.
"No need!"
Seeing Xu Kong's actions, Zhu Yu became even more panicked.
Zhu Yu also grabbed the other side of the quilt.
The two of them fought like this for a while.
Suddenly, a "bang" sound came.
Something fell to the ground.
Xu Kong subconsciously looked at the familiar shape and the conspicuous purple color.
What else could it be if it wasn’t the toy he gave to Zhu Yu before?
"Buzz buzz"
As if a switch had been hit, the toy suddenly began to vibrate rapidly on the wooden floor.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yu looked desperate and closed her eyes completely.
Yes, this time he should be completely dead.
If possible, she really wished there was a hole she could crawl into at this time.
