Chapter 325 Unlucky Puppy
Bai Yuan walked closer, pulled Jiang Feng back with his arm, and dragged him behind him.
At the same time, he took another step forward, stood in front of the child, and faced Xue Ze directly:
"you are?"
Even though Xue Ze had taken off his mask and pulled down his scarf, revealing his handsome face that would appear on the screen with just a swipe of the phone.
However, Bai Yuan was unable to recognize him at first because of his conservative attire.
It's nothing compared to her older cousin and younger cousin's eyes which can scan bones with X-rays.
Hearing this, Xue Ze curved his eyes and smiled, then raised his hand to pull off the hat on his head.
The boy's hair was still as golden as the last time I saw him.
However, because nearly two months have passed, the hair has grown naturally and the roots have already developed some original hair color.
At this time, the mottled gold and black hair color erased a lot of the prince-like temperament mentioned on the Internet, and added a bit of unruly and wildness.
I have to say, it looks a bit wild.
Xue Ze casually grabbed two handfuls of hair that were a little flattened, and presented himself completely in front of Bai Yuan.
"Do you know each other now?"
He winked and gave a sparkling wink.
"Yeah." Bai Yuan then recognized the other person and nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
Only Bai Yuan recognized it, but Pei Jin on the other end of the video had no idea what had happened.
Bai Yuan placed the camera very low, so Pei Jin could neither see the other person's appearance through the video nor identify the other person's identity based on the voice.
The only information I could receive was the boy saying in a voice that was a little surprised and unexpected:
"What a coincidence~"
And Bai Yuan responded gently with a hidden smile:
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
Pei Jin felt a little uneasy after hearing this.
Xue Ze's three short sentences made Pei Jin feel mixed up inside and he felt even more uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart who was talking to Bai Yuan at this moment and what was the relationship between him and Bai Yuan.
The tone was so familiar, it seemed like we must have known each other for a long time.
Longer than myself...
It’s also closer than the relationship between me and Bai Yuan…good.
Just as he was still struggling, hesitating whether to say something to attract Bai Yuan's attention and remind her that she was still chatting with a living person like him.
The image on the screen suddenly shook violently.
Pei Jin's heart tightened, knowing that Bai Yuan had raised his phone again. He subconsciously sat up straighter and adjusted his attitude, not wanting to be outdone by the other in the comparison between the two.
When Bai Yuan's face reappeared in front of the camera, Pei Jin became a little nervous again.
I was looking forward to Bai Yuan saying something to me, but I was also worried that Bai Yuan might say something I didn't want to hear or was unwilling to face.
Or…..
His mind moved slightly, and his eyes brightened a little.
Bai Yuan wants to introduce the other person to himself, or introduce himself to the other person, start to integrate himself into her interpersonal relationships, and try to deepen the bond between them?
Pei Jin's azure eyes became watery and wet at this moment. Anyone who saw them would be distracted for a moment and would find it difficult to take their eyes off his face.
However, Bai Yuan casually raised his phone and simply said, "I have something to do. I'll hang up first."
Pei Jin: “…”
Considering that Xue Ze's identity as an artist should not be revealed to too many people, Bai Yuan did not explain too much to Pei Jin.
She waited for three or five seconds and saw Pei Jin just looking at her with an unclear expression through the screen.
It looked like he was throwing tantrums, not much different from the few times she had seen him before.
I didn't even think about coaxing him, I just assumed that his silence meant he agreed.
The next second, the red icon was pressed without any hesitation.
Pei Jin watched Bai Yuan's face disappear from the screen in an instant, and stared at the screen that had exited the video call and turned into a chat interface for a while.
When the phone time is up, the screen will automatically turn off.
His dim and slightly dishevelled appearance was reflected on the black screen.
It was as if the scene of the relaxed and pleasant chat with Bai Yuan just now was just my own fantasy and had never really happened.
From the night of the Double Ninth Festival, when I saw the brooch which was given by an unknown person on the cruise ship during Bai Yuan’s birthday party, till now.
A few months later, Pei Jin once again felt the invisible barrier between himself and Bai Yuan, the barrier that he had never been allowed to touch.
He still didn't know Bai Yuan's past, nor did he know who her friends were.
Although the two were connected by a contract, and because of the agreement they said good morning and good night to each other every day, and occasionally had a video call, their relationship seemed to have become much closer.
But he never set foot into the other party's circle.
This feeling of being excluded from the other person's world made him feel like there was a thorn in his throat.
Unable to spit out or swallow, choking, he subconsciously touched the left side of his chest.
But he touched nothing and could only feel his chest which contained his beating heart.
Pei Jin clicked his tongue, withdrew his hand, and shoved it into the front pocket of his sweatshirt in annoyance.
Only then did he remember that the sapphire brooch that Bai Yuan gave him was not with him.
As early as the evening after I received it, I carefully put it in a dustproof box and never wore it again.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin's eyes deepened a little. He stood up from his seat and paced back and forth a few times in annoyance.
I spent a long time going back and forth between going home to get it and hesitating whether to go home to get it.
He sat back down on his seat with a thump.
The boy placed his hands across his face to partially hide his expression.
What does it have to do with him!
Why does he care so much about other people's business?
Do not care!
Not interested in!
It has nothing to do with him!!!
He and Bai Yuan are just a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit, so it is best to maintain a sense of boundaries with your partners!
What’s the point of knowing so many of her private affairs!
Looking at Bai Yuan, she doesn't care about her own private affairs or private life at all. She has never even set foot in her own circle of friends, or felt overly curious about it.
Pei Jin:…….
Pei Jin suddenly felt like an arrow was like a boomerang. Just after he threw it out with his own hand, it turned around and flew back, piercing right into his heart.
It hurts my heart! ! !
There was a crack in Pei Jin's stiff expression.
The boy changed his posture and began to think about why the other party was different from him and was not interested in his private affairs.
After thinking for a while, I felt a little indignant.
Am I a person who has no charm at all and whose soul is boring from beginning to end?
How could she not be curious at all! ! ! !
the other side.
Bai Yuan hung up the video call after just a few words.
Xue Ze quipped with a hint of curiosity:
"Did I interrupt your conversation with your boyfriend?"
"No."
Bai Yuan did not clarify the relationship between himself and Pei Jin to Xue Ze.
Even if I tell him, he doesn't know and doesn't recognize him. What's the point of explaining more?
If you want to end a topic quickly, just say something casually, bypass it in the quickest and simplest way, and go straight to the next topic.
Too much explanation is unnecessary.
The more you explain, the more you will say, and the more detailed it will be.
She didn't care what Xue Ze thought of her, so there was no need to explain it so clearly.
At this moment, Jiang Ran was already overwhelmed by the joy of seeing himself push, and he ran back to the room to get his camera.
Jiang Feng was protected by her behind her, and because she had let down her guard against Xue Ze, she didn't protect him as closely as before.
Bai Yuan changed his posture without leaving a trace, standing there more casually, and asked casually:
"Do you live here?"
After all, Jiang Yun has a lot of confidential documents to keep, so safety is the first consideration when choosing a residence.
The community where they live is a villa-style community surrounded by residential buildings.
The property management of the community is very strict. No one except the owner is allowed to enter the community.
Even when delivering takeout, they can only deliver to the entrance of the community. If someone lingers outside for a long time, security guards will come forward and ask questions.
The reason Xue Ze could appear here was either because he was the owner himself or had friends living here.
Not a big problem in itself.
Considering the special nature of his job and identity, Bai Yuan judged that the former possibility was more likely.
The security of the community can ensure Xue Ze’s living safety to the greatest extent.
Even if some overly fanatical fans are willing to follow the clues and come to find out.
You will also be blocked from entering by the property management company which charges 88,000 yuan in community service management fees per year.
but……
Nothing is absolute.
Even so, there is no guarantee that everything will be safe, nor can it be said that Xue Ze will never be harassed by fanatical fans.
As long as you want, there is still a way to get in openly or secretly.
What if the other party’s family is well-off and has plenty of money, and they buy a house and become the owner, or they have a friend who is an owner?
No matter how diligent the security guard at the door is, he cannot stop the owners and their friends from coming in.
She looked at Xue Ze subtly.
I thought to myself, this person shouldn't be so unlucky to have to deal with this, unable to return home, and forced to wander outside in this heavy snow, right?
"Yeah, that's right." Xue Ze responded to Bai Yuan's question first.
Then he added, "I live in the building at the back."
He pointed to the detached villa that stood side by side with Jiang Yun's villa, separated only by an asphalt road.
The gate of the house where Bai Yuan lives faces forward, while the gate of the house where Xue Ze lives faces backward.
The two houses are right opposite each other, but their roads are not interconnected.
We usually don’t walk together, and we can’t see each other coming in and out.
Therefore, Bai Yuan had lived here for four or five days, but this was the first time he met him.
Having said that, Xue Ze suddenly paused suspiciously.
Then, with a slightly red face, he said a little embarrassedly:
"You don't know, I just came back from outside, and I threw the key into the entrance door as soon as I entered the door. I looked down and saw that the garbage from the morning was not taken out. I thought it was only three or five steps away... Who knew that when I turned around, the door was blown shut by the wind, and then it was slammed shut for me."
Bai Yuan:......
It's quite unlucky.
Talking about this, Xue Ze felt aggrieved. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they encountered this kind of thing during their rest period just after the New Year.
Artists don’t have holidays during the Chinese New Year, especially those as popular as him, who are very busy during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
Recording programs and attending various channels' New Year's Eve dinners, I was so busy that I couldn't take a moment to rest.
After finishing one event, there is no time to even eat, and you have to quickly take a plane to another province to attend the next one.
I can only take a short rest on the way.
In the jargon, it's peak season.
I finally managed to finish all the work during the last few days before the New Year, and there is nothing to do, so I can take two days off.
His agent took this opportunity to go abroad to the beaches and surf to see handsome guys. You can't ask him to work overtime just after two days of vacation.
Xue Ze was worried that he had no one to complain to.
Now that he had met Bai Yuan, he finally found someone to talk to. He told her everything that had just happened, feeling aggrieved:
"Don't all these villas have floor-to-ceiling windows? I just wandered around the yard for a long time, trying to find a brick to smash the window open. Then I finally found a few flower pots and smashed them a few times. The ceramics shattered all over the floor, but the glass didn't crack at all."
At this point, he deliberately kept the question a secret and asked, "Guess why?"
Bai Yuan: “…tempered glass.”
It has a compression resistance of more than 125 MPa, is impact resistant, has good thermal stability, and can withstand high temperature changes of degrees Celsius without bursting. This is a standard feature of villas in this community and a major selling point written on the promotional posters at the sales office. ….
Xue Ze clapped his hands excitedly: "...Hey, hey!!!"
He spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Working in vain!"
Bai Yuan:......
Bai Yuan: "What does the property management say?"
Xue Ze was melancholy again: "I don't know, I put my phone on the entrance and locked it in the room."
He stretched out two fingers, moved his fingertips downward, and made a walking gesture: "I was just about to go to the property management to ask, but I just passed by your house and your brother and sister tricked me into confiscating it."
"Your little sister is amazing. I was dressed up like a dumpling, how did she see through it?"
Without waiting for Bai Yuan to answer, he sighed to himself.
"After I take photos with her and sign my name, I have to hurry to the property management. I don't want to catch them having lunch. Everyone on duty will go to eat. Then I won't be able to enter the house until 1:30 pm."
Xue Ze said with lingering fear:
"Luckily, the one I met was your sister, not those people before... Otherwise, I would be in such bad luck that even drinking cold water would make my teeth ache! After the spring comes, I will have to go to the temple to draw a fortune stick to change my luck."
Xue Ze himself does not believe in gods or Buddhas and is a staunch materialist.
But many people in the working circle believe in it and usually pay attention to auspicious days before starting filming or performing, just to get a good start.
After a while, I just joined in the fun, mainly for the sake of psychological comfort.
Bai Yuan listened to him chattering patiently and said a lot.
Not only did she not find it noisy, but because the other person was as talkative as her eldest cousin, she strangely felt a sense of familiarity.
Bai Yuan's gaze fell on Xue Ze.
As he spoke, a few more snowflakes fell on Xue Ze's golden and black head.
It didn't melt on top of his head and wet his hair like what Pei Jin encountered.
Instead, they gathered together, piled up on top of each other, and formed a thin layer of snow.
