Not long later.
The doorbell outside rang.
Zhang Ye looked at his watch and saw that it was not even 7 AM yet. It had only been slightly more than ten minutes since he had spoken to Old Wu on the phone. He hurriedly went to open the door and saw Wu Zeqing standing outside. Old Wu was dressed in a simple yet low-key outfit. Her hair was tied up and she had a dignified and gentle look on her face.
Zhang Ye asked, "How did you get here so fast?"
Old Wu smiled. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Come in, come in." Zhang Ye turned sideways to let her in.
Old Wu waved the steamed bun in her hand. "I bought some steamed buns from downstairs. Make do with this. When we're free in the afternoon, Big Sis will make you another meal that you like." As she spoke, she looked around.
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "My place is small. It can't be compared to yours."
Wu Zeqing looked around the living room and said, "It's pretty good."
"What would you like to drink?"
"Big Sis, you can do it yourself."
"That's fine too. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't stand on ceremony."
"You're my boyfriend, why should I be polite?"
"That's good. There are tea leaves and coffee on the coffee table. I'm not going to bother with you anymore. I want to eat something first." Zhang Ye had already brought the buns to the table. He did not even pick up his chopsticks and just reached out to grab one.
Wu Zeqing raised her hand and patted the back of his hand. "Have you washed your hands?"
"I just brushed my teeth and washed my face." Zhang Ye said.
Wu Zeqing got him to put the bun down. "Go, wash your hands first."
"I'll eat one first."
"Go wash your hands first."
"… Fine, I'll listen to you."
He went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he realized that Wu Zeqing had already placed the steamed buns onto a plate. She even found a pair of chopsticks for him to place on the plate — Old Wu had always been so thorough when she did things. She was also very neat and tidy.
After the meal.
Zhang Ye led Old Wu to his bedroom. "This is my room."
Wu Zeqing looked up and said, "The walls are a little yellow. It's time to paint."
"Sigh, I smoked. Let's talk about it when we're renovating." With Wu Zeqing by his side, Zhang Ye always felt relaxed and his heart was especially calm. Hence, he naturally leaned against the bed and rubbed his temples. He could not help but yawn.
Old Wu smiled and said, "Tired?"
Zhang Ye said, "No, my parents woke me up this morning. I woke up a little too abruptly, so I have a headache."
Wu Zeqing acknowledged and said with a smile, "Come here, let me massage your head."
Zhang Ye pretended to say, "Is it appropriate?"
"Then forget it," Old Wu said.
Zhang Ye coughed and leaned forward, "Don't forget about it. I was just being polite. If you asked me again, I would have agreed. Why didn't you speak according to the rules? Go ahead and rub it. "
Old Wu smiled as she ran her hand through his hair and gently pinched it. "Are you still in a deadlock with Central TV Department 1?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Definitely."
Old Wu asked again, "Do you need me to say hello?"
"Didn't I say that I don't need your help?" Zhang Ye waved it off firmly and said, "You must have heard about the Plants vs. Zombies that I produced. Its popularity has been rising. Although it's definitely not as much as The Voice or other television shows, it's still pretty good. I've managed to stabilize my footing in the entertainment industry, so how could it be that easy for Central TV Department 1 to freeze me? This bro has been in the entertainment industry for so long. If it's that easy to bring me down, then this bro doesn't need to work anymore! Don't interfere, Old Wu. You promised me before. "
Old Wu nodded. "Alright, Big Sis won't interfere for the time being."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "What do you mean by for the time being?"
Old Wu continued to massage his head as she said calmly, "If Central TV Department 1 really goes too far and violates the rules, Big Sis is also thinking of giving them a warning. They're using any means necessary to get rid of dissidents for the sake of political achievements. Although I'm not directly in charge of Central TV, it's still under the jurisdiction of the SARFT. Big Sis has been transferred here for some time now, so I should be able to straighten out the relationships there. It shouldn't be a problem for me to teach them a lesson. You don't have to be afraid of giving me trouble.
"I know."
"What do you plan to do after you're done with the puzzle game?"
"I haven't decided yet."
"You haven't decided yet?"
"Yeah, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'll think about it after that."
Zhang Ye usually did not have a plan in mind when he did things. He rarely planned ahead or strategized ahead. This was his style of doing things based on his feelings. As such, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Ye seemed a little strange. He was sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, and was even a little stubborn. Only Wu Zeqing and a few of his family and friends understood him the best. No one else could really figure out Zhang Ye's style. They only knew that this fellow had a heart that would kill anything that stood in his way, and everyone knew that!
"Old Wu, have you been busy lately?"
"Yeah, it's been alright."
"How's your health?"
"Yeah."
"Have you been sleeping well?"
"Yeah."
"Have you been eating well too?"
"Yeah."
"Shall we get married next year?"
However, Wu Zeqing did not seem to be bothered by his words at all. She did not acknowledge him this time and just looked up at him with a smile. "We'll see how it goes."
Zhang Ye blinked. "What do you mean by 'how it goes'?"
Wu Zeqing retorted, "Why did you suddenly think of getting married?"
"I was just saying. Ahem, I was just joking." Zhang Ye was used to being sarcastic. Actually, he was not mentally prepared for this. He was just afraid that a good female comrade like Old Wu would run away.
Old Wu said, "I'll make the arrangements for you to come home with me to meet my family someday?"
Zhang Ye said excitedly, "Sure!" But then he felt a little guilty and asked, "But then, with my conditions, will your parents like me?"
Old Wu shook her head. "Big Sis doesn't know about that."
Zhang Ye asked again, "Then do you like me?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Not bad."
"What do you mean not bad?" Zhang Ye nearly vomited blood!
Old Wu said, "Hur hur, look at what you're asking. If Big Sis didn't like you, would she have agreed to date you? Would she have brought you to Big Sis's house? "
Zhang Ye nodded. "I like what you're saying." Then he said, "But I'm really not sure about my conditions. I'm just afraid that your family will object to it. That's why I've always wanted to have some confidence before meeting your parents. For example, becoming an A-list celebrity or something. Otherwise, I won't be good enough for you."
Old Wu said gently, "I'm also a normal person and my family is also from a normal family, so why would I be good enough for you? If we really get married next year, Big Sis will be worried that your family won't like me. After all, I'm quite a few years older than you, so it wouldn't be appropriate. How could your parents not have any ill feelings towards me? " If these words were said by anyone else, they would definitely sound modest or comforting. But when it came from Wu Zeqing, it didn't feel fake at all. Old Wu was such a person. What she said was what she did, and what she did was what she thought. She wouldn't look down on others, nor would she think too highly of herself. This was also why Zhang Ye especially liked Old Wu.
Zhang Ye flatly said, "No way. You're so beautiful. If my parents knew that you're my girlfriend, they would definitely be overjoyed!" Then he added unconfidently, "Probably!"
Old Wu smiled and did not say anything. She just continued massaging his head.
Zhang Ye suddenly reached out and tried to grab Old Wu's other hand that was placed on the side of the bed. But as he was leaning against the headboard, he was quite a distance away and could not reach it. He tried again, but still could not reach it.
When Wu Zeqing saw this, she moved her left hand forward and thoughtfully placed it at a place where Zhang Ye could reach.
Only then did Zhang Ye grab her hand. He couldn't help but say, "Old Wu, if we want to be together in the future, there will definitely be a lot of trouble and obstacles. Don't run away before that happens."
Old Wu turned around and patted his hand. "Didn't you say that you wanted to become the greatest celebrity in the world? I'll accompany you on this journey. "
Zhang Ye held her hand even tighter. "Alright!"
