Saturday.
It was six o 'clock in the morning. It was a refreshing autumn day. It was a rare day.
While Zhang Ye was still sleeping in his bed, he was awoken by the clanking sounds coming from the living room. After a while, the door opened. His parents and Chenchen were standing at the door, dressed beautifully.
His father called out to him, "Little Ye, we're leaving."
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "You're really going to Tianjin to have fun?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" His mother smiled and said, "It's a big weekend and we don't have anything to do, so we'll take Chen-chen out to play. If you're hungry, order takeout yourself."
Chenchen asked, "Zhang Ye, are you going?"
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "I want to go too, but you have to ask my mom if she wants me to go!"
His mother glanced at him and said while carrying her suitcase, "Where are you going? Just stay at home. If you follow us, we won't be able to play anymore. Wherever we go, we'll be surrounded by people. They'll even have to ask for your autograph. We won't be able to move an inch. You, just sleep in. We'll be back on Sunday night."
Zhang Ye rolled over and went back to sleep. He said, "I know."
Dong, the door closed.
With his parents gone, Zhang Ye was left alone at home. He was originally quite sleepy and did not get enough sleep, but now that his family had left, he could no longer sleep. He tossed and turned a few times and yawned a few times. Zhang Ye smacked his lips and got up to find his cell phone from the bedside table. He then surfed the internet. Now that Plants vs. Zombies had solved the urgent problem of his popularity source and stabilized his popularity, Zhang Ye was no longer in a hurry. He had even applied for leave from work for the past few days and was not afraid that the unit would pick on him. This fellow was actually hoping that Central TV Department 1 would fire him. That way, the contract issue would be resolved and he could go work at other television stations. But even thinking about it, it was obvious that Central TV Department 1 would never let him go.
His popularity continued to rise, and he could even apply for leave whenever he wanted. It was pretty good.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Di di. There was a message on the chat app. The source of the message was "Water Lotus Moon". This was Wu Zeqing's account.
Water Lotus Moon: Awake?
When Zhang Ye saw it, he immediately replied with a smile: I just woke up. How about you?
Water Lotus Moon: Same here. Big Sis is still lying in bed.
Zhang Ye: "You're resting today?"
Water Lotus Moon: Yes, is there anyone beside you?
Zhang Ye asked: "There's no one around. Why?"
Just as Zhang Ye was wondering why Old Wu would ask such a question, a beep sounded. A picture was sent to him, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...
Just as he was about to reply, a video call request popped up.
Zhang Ye quickly answered the call. A moment later, Wu Zeqing appeared on the other end of the line.
"Old Wu." Zhang Ye's throat was a little dry.
Wu Zeqing stroked her hair. "Did you receive it?"
Zhang Ye nodded vigorously, "I've kept it. It's so beautiful!"
Wu Zeqing acknowledged, "I feel like I've slimmed down a little recently, so I let you take a look. Did I lose weight?"
"A little, but it's not obvious." Zhang Ye said, "You look good no matter how fat or skinny you are!"
Old Wu asked, "How have you been lately?"
Zhang Ye said, "I took a few days off to recharge my batteries every day. I'm doing well."
Old Wu asked, "Are you sure you don't need me to help you settle the issue at Central TV Department 1?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "There's really no need. Our relationship has not been made public, so it's not suitable. Besides, I have my own ways to deal with this. When the boat comes to the bridgehead, everything will work out. Don't worry."
Old Wu nodded. "Alright then, Big Sis will respect your decision."
Zhang Ye tried to claim credit again, "The Plants vs. Zombies that I made should have helped your Big Sis' company gain quite a bit of fame, right? At least it won't close down. "
In the video call, Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "My Big Sis even came to me yesterday to ask me how much shares would be suitable for you. I don't really know much about this, so I didn't make the decision for you."
Zhang Ye sighed, "It doesn't matter how much I give. Isn't your Big Sis my Big Sis? We're all family, so talking about money is too vulgar. Actually, I don't really care about money at all. You should know that what I care about is the popularity it brings me and my development in the entertainment industry. Everything else is secondary. I actually have to thank your Big Sis this time. If it weren't for the game model that her company had created and the trust of the entire team, Plants vs. Zombies wouldn't have been produced so smoothly. My popularity wouldn't have risen so quickly either.
Old Wu said, "Hur hur, my Big Sis and nephew both owe you a favor."
Zhang Ye waved it off and said, "Look at what you're saying. You're my girlfriend, so what do you mean by owing favors? You're making it sound like you're treating me like an outsider." He immediately said, "Why are we still on a video call? Well, my parents have gone to Tianjin to have fun, so there's no one at home right now. Why don't you come over and stay for a while?"
Old Wu said gently, "Right now?"
Zhang Ye nodded and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm hungry."
In the video call, Old Wu tilted her head to the side and seemed to glance at her watch. Then she turned her head back to the camera and smiled. "Alright, then send the address to Big Sis. I'll pack up and take a shower. I'll be there in about an hour."
Zhang Ye said, "Aiya, don't do that. Our houses are so close, so why would it take more than an hour? It's only a five-minute drive. You don't have to shower. You're still so beautiful even if you don't shower for a year. Just come over and cook for me. This bro is about to faint from hunger. I can't wait any longer!"
Old Wu ran her fingers through her hair and held it in front of her eyes to see if it was dirty. Then she said, "Alright, Big Sis will be there in 20 minutes. What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
"OK, I'm hanging up."
The camera finally stopped on Wu Zeqing's lips and chin, which had been zoomed in. Beep. Only then did the video cut off.
Zhang Ye put down his cell phone and took a deep breath. Then he rolled over and got out of bed. It was a little chilly in the room, so he took out a pair of long johns from the cabinet and changed into them. Then he put on his slippers and went outside to brush his teeth and wash up. Following that, he tidied up the living room and bedroom, sweeping and mopping the floors. Thinking back, this was the first time his real girlfriend had come to his house, so Zhang Ye definitely had to leave a good impression on Old Wu.
