Before 9 PM.
The rain outside was getting heavier.
On the coffee table in the living room, the bottle of red wine was almost empty. The two of them drank very quickly and were almost done. Both of them were a little tipsy and decided to make do with it. Actually, Zhang Ye did not intend to drink so much. Although he did not say it out loud, he was actually concerned about Old Zhang. He was afraid that she would drink too much by herself, so he decided to drink a little more to help Old Zhang share some of the burden. He was also afraid that Old Zhang would vomit all over the floor like she did the first time he met her. That time, Zhang Ye was tormented quite a bit as he spent the entire night waiting on Old Zhang.
"Done drinking?" Zhang Ye smiled.
Zhang Yuanqi's breathing was very even. "Yes."
Zhang Ye said, "In the future, if there's no one to drink with you, you can come over. I might have caused quite a commotion these past few days, but I still have time for a drink. Your Sister Zhang has spoken, so how can I not accompany her?"
Zhang Ye knew that she was busy with work, but it was not the kind of busy that an ordinary white-collar worker would have. For an S-list celebrity like Old Zhang, her schedule was basically full for the entire year. Today, she would fly to Shanghai to shoot a music video, then fly to the south in the afternoon to shoot an outdoor scene, and then fly back to Beijing Film Studios in the evening to shoot a night scene. Her schedule would be full for 16 to 17 hours a day, so the stress and intensity of her work could be imagined. Naturally, there had to be a time when she could relax and find a place where no one could find her to clear her stress, or else she would die of exhaustion.
She looked at Zhang Ye. "You're quite a good friend."
"Of course, I have nothing to say to my friends." Zhang Ye said, "Not to mention our relationship. We fought our way out of the enemy's encirclement together, a revolutionary friendship."
She said, "That joke of yours is quite cold."
Zhang Ye: "…"
She put down her wine glass. "I'm done drinking, I won't drink anymore."
"OK, drink less." Zhang Ye pointed to his bedroom. "I see that you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you film late into the night? Why don't you sleep for a while? I just finished cleaning up my room. "
Old Zhang had probably come to Zhang Ye's house today to drink some wine and take a nap. She did not reject his suggestion. "Alright, I'll rest for an hour."
Zhang Ye said, "What's an hour enough? Just wake up before 4: 30 PM. My parents will not be home for lunch, so don't worry and sleep."
She said, "You don't have any guests, right?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "What kind of guests could there be? Don't worry, no one will come."
Just as he finished speaking, a sound that made Zhang Ye tremble with fear came from behind him!
Ding dong.
It was the doorbell!
Someone was ringing the doorbell!
Zhang Yuanqi glanced at Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye could not help but wipe his sweat. He did not know who it was, so he decided to play dead and pretend that there was no one at home.
In the end, his mother's voice came from the doorway. "Little Ye, open the door for me. I just came back from grocery shopping with my things. I'm too lazy to look for my keys."
It's mom!
Ding dong! The doorbell rang again.
Following that, his father's voice could be heard. "Little Ye."
Zhang Ye was thinking that this was bad. If it were other guests, he could still hide and pretend that there was no one at home. But his parents had the keys in their hands. Even if he did not open the door, they could still open it. He did not know what to say. Didn't the two of you go to work? Why are you resting now? You even went out to buy groceries? Hai, I was wondering why Mom and Dad did not prepare breakfast for me before they went to work. So it turns out that they were actually resting and went out to buy groceries so that they could wake me up to make breakfast for me!
Old Zhang looked at him and said, "Isn't there no one at home?"
Zhang Ye said anxiously, "I didn't expect that either."
"Think of a way." She pushed the problem to Zhang Ye with a single sentence.
Dong dong.
There was still knocking on the door.
When Zhang Ye saw Zhang Yuanqi's appearance, he thought to himself, how can this bro think of a way? There's no way he can explain this. If you were dressed neatly, it would still be possible. But you're wearing a bathrobe and your hair is wet. It's obvious that you've just taken a shower. I can't explain it even if I have a hundred mouths!
"Little Ye? You're not up yet? "His mother said, then said," Alright, I'll open the door myself. "
Zhang Ye knew that he could not delay any longer, so he quickly shouted outside, "Mom, don't worry about it. I'm coming, I'm coming. I'll open the door now. Wait a moment."
His mother nodded and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes."
Zhang Ye turned his head and hurriedly pulled Zhang Yuanqi into the bedroom. "Hide in my room for a while. Close the door."
Old Zhang said, "My bag."
"I'll get it for you, I'll get it for you." Zhang Ye quickly ran to the bathroom and threw Old Zhang's cosmetics into the bag. Then he carried the bag back to his room and quickly tidied up the red wine bottles and glasses outside. But at this moment, he heard the sound of keys outside. He did not know if it was his parents or his parents who could not wait any longer and were already opening the door with their keys. Zhang Ye anxiously ran back to the bedroom to close the door.
Finally, Old Zhang said, "The wet clothes are in the bathroom."
The door closed.
Zhang Ye thought to himself that there was no time to get the clothes, so he didn't care anymore. His parents probably would not be going to the bathroom for a while, so he would think of something later. Since it was only his parents, he had to calm them down first and wait for a good opportunity to get Old Zhang's clothes. Then he would suggest making breakfast that would take more time and effort to get his parents to work in the kitchen. Zhang Ye would then take the opportunity to close the kitchen door and sneak Zhang Yuanqi out of the house.
Phew.
Fortunately, there shouldn't be any problems.
At this moment, Zhang Ye had already gone through the plan in his mind. After confirming that he had not missed anything, he calmed down a little and regained his composure. He went up to them with a smile. He would deal with whatever came his way. It was not a big deal and he could handle it by himself.
The front door was opened by a key.
Then, Zhang Ye saw a scene that left him dumbfounded!
His father came into the house with two large bags of groceries. "You're awake?"
Behind him, his mother did not come in. Instead, she stood outside the door and said to Zhang Ye, "Don't sleep anymore. We have guests at home. They're all our old neighbors. We haven't had a gathering in a long time, so I called everyone over to have a seat." She turned around and said, "Grandma Cui, come in quickly. Little Yan, didn't you study advertising? You can have a chat with your Brother Zhang Ye. "
Grandma Cui came into the house with a smile. "Little Ye."
Zhang Ye said in a daze, "Grandma Cui."
Little Yan was a little reserved. "Brother Zhang Ye."
Zhang Ye continued in a daze. "Ai."
Another middle-aged man came in from behind. "Little Ye, haha. I haven't seen you in the neighborhood for almost half a year. Wow, you're amazing now. You're a big star now!"
Zhang Ye was still in a daze. "… Uncle Hu."
Another woman came in from outside. "Little Ye, do you still remember me? When you were in junior high, I would always come to your house to play mahjong. "
Zhang Ye was still in a daze. "… Auntie Yu."
Another middle-aged man came in. "Whoa, I haven't seen you in two years. Brother Zhang, Sister Cao, your son is getting more and more handsome. Yes, yes, he really looks like my Sister Cao!"
Zhang Ye: "… Uncle Wu."
His mother laughed and said, "Of course. If he looks like my Old Zhang, then we can't have him anymore."
The door of a house opposite their house opened. "Yo, Old Cao, what are you doing here?"
His mother smiled and greeted, "Sister Wang, hi, we went out to buy some groceries and bumped into quite a few neighbors in the market. When we started chatting, we couldn't stop. It was raining outside, so it wasn't convenient to talk. The market was a mess, so I invited everyone over to have a chat. Is Brother Wang home?"
Sister Wang smiled and said, "He's here."
His mother strongly invited, "Then come over to my house. Let's have lunch together. We're all familiar with each other here, so we're not strangers."
Grandma Cui also knew her. "Little Wang, come over."
Sister Wang chuckled. "Alright then, I'll call my husband over."
Zhang Ye's forehead was filled with black lines as he looked at them in a daze!
But at the next moment, the door of the house in the middle opened. An old man in his sixties or seventies walked out with a cane. "Little Cao, are you treating us?"
His mother smiled and said, "Grandpa Liu, I was just about to call you over. Yes, it's a treat, so of course you'll be included. Come, come, let's talk at home."
The old man did not stand on ceremony. They had been neighbors for decades, so their relationship wasn't just a matter of a day or two. There was no need to stand on ceremony. "Alright then, I'll accept your invitation. Oh yes, my son's puppy is still here with me."
His mother said, "It's Huahua, right? Then bring it over to my house. There's still some leftover meat from yesterday. I'll heat it up for Huahua later. "
The old man said, "That's great. That'll save me a lot of trouble."
His father also called out, "Come in and have a seat. I'll go get some chairs."
His mother said, "What tea would you like?"
"Plain water will do."
"Haha, do you have green tea?"
"Yes, we have all of them!"
"I'll have a cup of green tea too."
"I'll have a drink too!"
A group of old neighbors walked into Zhang Ye's house!
There were a total of 12 people!
Oh, and there was even a dog!
It was a grand scene. The 70-80-meter house was almost filled to the brim. Every person's footsteps and every person's voice could be heard. Even the market was not as lively as their house!
Zhang Ye watched helplessly as the people entered his house. His chest heated up and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He wished he could faint on the ground! No wonder Mom and Dad knocked on the door even though they had the keys. It was not only because they had things in their hands, but also because they were afraid that Zhang Ye was naked or in the bathroom. They were afraid that it would be inconvenient for others to see him, so they knocked on the door to warn him so that he could be prepared!
Calm down!
Zhang Ye, you have to calm down!
It's just a few more people. It's not a big deal. The plan was as usual. First, he would coax his parents into the kitchen for breakfast. Then, he would let the neighbors go to his parents' bedroom to chat. Then, he would use a scheme to get the other neighbors to watch the scenery from the window. He would not let them turn around. Oh yes, he had to control the dog too. He would put some sleeping pills in its food and let it … let it …
Let it my ass!
Calm your sister!
No matter what plan he had, it would be useless!
There were so many people and so many pairs of eyes. Even if I stuffed Zhang Yuanqi into my pants pocket, I wouldn't be able to bring her out! What are all of you trying to do? What day is it today? You couldn't come earlier or later. Why did you have to come today? All of you are f * * king forming a group to come to my house for a holiday! Forming a group to scam me!?
