Gourmet and actor

Xiao Ke imagined that they would be relatively silent or even quarrel violently when they met.But it never occurred to Xiao Huiguang that the first sentence he said was a reporter.

He asked suspiciously, "What reporter?"

"...You don't know?" Xiao Huiguang was taking a cup and was about to pour tea, but he paused again when he heard this, and turned around to look.

Seeing Xiao Ke shaking his head, he asked bluntly: "Then what are you doing back?"

"Come and see." Xiao Ke thought, this person seems to have a bad temper.

"Nothing to look at, I'm fine." Xiao Huiguang continued to add water to the cup, but his arms were trembling slightly, and a few drops of water from the thermos bottle splashed on the table.

So blunt, Xiao Ke didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so he looked around.

This public house is obviously old, the walls are full of light marks, and the tiles under the feet are also worn and cracked. The furnishings in the house are only seen in rural farmhouses.Obviously, Xiao Huiguang's situation is not as good as that of Dai Yun.

Handing the glass to Xiao Ke, Xiao Huiguang took advantage of the situation and looked at him nonchalantly.Noticing that his son had become much calmer, a few traces of nostalgia and relief flashed in his eyes, and he restrained himself immediately, "Are you busy with work?"

"Well, I'm basically filming, so it's rare to take a rest."

"How about the salary, have you saved any money?"

On the way here, Xiao Ke searched for information about the lottery, and found that it was actually a different form of gambling.

Fearing that Xiao Huiguang knew that he was earning a lot, he couldn't help but throw money away in the future, so he brought out the rhetoric he had thought up on the road, "The salary sounds high, but it's all false propaganda to boost his value. Excluding tax deductions And various expenses, I have probably saved a million this year."

In fact, Han Xilin alone gave him 300 million box office red envelopes at the beginning of the year.Adding the remuneration for two TV shows and two movies, not counting the profit of the restaurant, he has several million dollars on hand.

Xiao Huiguang didn't mention the money, and still said with a straight face: "Your circle is volatile, so you have to save some money. If there is no show one day, just invest it in the restaurant and concentrate on running it. In a few years, you will still have money." You have to get married, housing prices are so high now, if you don’t save some money to buy a house, you won’t even be able to marry a wife in the future.”

After a pause, before Xiao Ke could answer, he forced another thin piece of paper and said, "The reporter who came this morning is a ghost, he kept asking me if I was caught by you. Abandoned, still refusing to say which unit he is. Now that celebrities are getting scandals every day, do you also do bad things to attract this kind of person? I took a receipt with my name on it. You can leave after drinking your tea, go back and investigate clearly, clean up the mess, and come here less often. I’m fine, don’t worry about it.”

He was ordered to evict guests before he was seated at the door, Xiao Ke was confused by his hot and cold attitude, and at the same time felt a little annoyed.Putting the teacup on the table, said goodbye angrily, and walked out.

After going downstairs, thinking back on what happened just now, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he felt a little slower on his feet.

The aunt who spoke to him thought he was looking at the environment of the community, so she said enthusiastically: "Young man, you are still a student, which school is nearby? Although our community is a bit old, we have the obligation to guard the gate every day, and the security is very good. Yes, it is suitable for your students to live in. The old Xiao you are looking for, he looks stubborn and hard to talk, but he is actually a very good person, but his life is hard."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke stopped involuntarily, "He... really has a bad temper, is it because of what he has experienced before?"

Seeing that he was interested, the aunt simply put down the casing and said, "My brother and Lao Xiao are classmates in elementary school, so I know him very well. Lao Xiao has good grades since he was a child, and he always wanted to be a chemist. It's a pity that this movement and that movement made him stop studying. Ten years later, the college entrance examination was resumed. He studied for a few years and was admitted to Capital University, but because the girl on the blind date said that if he went to study, this friend would not talk about it. Yes. He was embarrassed for several days, but finally he didn’t go.”

Is it Dai Yun?Xiao Ke asked: "He doesn't seem to have a wife now?"

"Later they got divorced. His wife had always had someone in her heart, but the man's background was not good, which was a big deal in those days. The woman's family did not agree with their relationship, and while the man was working in other places, he quickly found Lao Xiao for his daughter. He saw the girl was beautiful. I fell in love with her, and even gave up studying for her. At that time, we old guys didn’t know the inside story. We saw that he was a good couple, so we passed it on as a good story. Who would have thought that the girl would make excuses and talk to Lao Xiao many times not long after marriage. They quarreled and said they wanted a divorce. Lao Xiao coaxed her for a few years, and it didn't get better until she had a son."

Speaking of this, an uncle next to him interjected: "Old Xiao moved out of here after getting married. I forgot what his son's name is, but I remember that he is very cute. When I was young, I was seen by the director when I went to visit relatives in city B." During the filming, I filmed several TV shows. At that time, we all said that Lao Xiao was lucky, his wife was beautiful, and his son was promising."

"It's a pity that flowers don't have a hundred days of success." The aunt sighed, "His son was studying while filming. After a few years, he said he couldn't get the script, so he returned to study. It's going to be the college entrance examination in half a year. I had a good time with his wife back then. The man she met came back again, the two old friends met, and soon the old relationship rekindled, and was blocked by Lao Xiao at the guest house. Only then did we know that when she first dated Lao Xiao, her parents Contacted the man and said harsh words, saying that his daughter looked down on him and was ready to marry someone else. The two had a misunderstanding and quarreled, and they broke up, but they still had feelings in their hearts. After being smashed by Lao Xiao, that The man also scolded Lao Xiao for seizing love with a sword, saying that he has guarded himself for his first love all these years and worked hard to make money, and they are true love."

The uncle who interrupted before sighed: "Actually, Lao Xiao should have agreed to the divorce at that time. He is clumsy and can't speak, and good words can make people angry. If he can be softer, his wife who has been with him for more than ten years will not As for being cheated away by the old lover in a few words. Besides, that woman has never regarded their father and son as family members. If he could figure it out at that time and be cold-hearted towards that woman, his son who has always been on his side would not be killed. Get angry."

"He was really in a daze at that time." The aunt said bitterly, "He was buying lottery tickets when they first started, but at most two or three bets at a time, he said that he was good at science, and wanted to figure out some equations. But when the man scolded him, saying that he had no ability and relied on his underage son to earn money to support him, Lao Xiao became red-eyed, and wanted to win, so he invested all his savings in it. The principal, and finally owed a large foreign debt. It seems that because of this incident, the son had a disagreement with him and left home."

"Old Xiao was told by the man that he had a heart attack. With his lonely and stubborn character, he was suitable for doing research. Unfortunately, because he has no education and no other skills, he can only be a worker for the rest of his life. However, even Being tricked by his wife, he can't wantonly squander his son's hard-earned money. After all these troubles in his family, the son suffers the most. He studied hard for a year, and his grades are not bad. But when something happened at home, he didn't even pass the college entrance examination. I didn’t enter the examination room, left without receiving my graduation certificate, haven’t come back for several years, and don’t know where I am now.”

Several people sighed for a while, and the aunt said: "Fortunately, he was lucky. Not long after his son left, he caught up with the demolition and paid off the foreign debts. But after his wife and children separated, he still held the lottery ticket and didn't let it go. Probably he still couldn't swallow it. , I want to earn back the lost money.”

"Speaking of which, there is a star surnamed Xiao who is very popular recently, and our whole family likes to watch the TV series he acted in. Tell me, could it be Lao Xiao's son?"

"Don't be funny, Lao Xiao and his son used to have a very good relationship. If the son is prosperous, will he still live here now?"

"Isn't he going to rent a house? Maybe he's going to move to his son's place."

"Nonsense. It's obviously his younger brother who said he would pick him up to live with him because he was afraid that no one would take care of him."

After arguing for a while, the aunt remembered that she had neglected the young man.Just as she was about to persuade him to rent Xiao's house immediately, when she looked up, she found that the person who was standing in front of her just now had disappeared at some point.

Do you think these gossips are boring, so you left?Big Mom shook her head and continued to argue with her neighbors.

In fact, Xiao Ke did not leave, but returned to Father Xiao's door again.

What he heard just now gave him a better understanding of Xiao Huiguang.Compared with Dai Yun, he is more accepting of Xiao Huiguang.

He attaches great importance to family.Although he has no real relationship with Xiao Huiguang, he is his father by blood after all, and he has not committed any serious crimes.It is not appropriate to be strangers in this regard.

Others don't know what Xiao Huiguang's so-called foreign debt is about, but Xiao Ke can guess that this should be his biggest knot.

With Xiao Huiguang's character, Xiao didn't expect him to take the initiative to reconcile, so he had to take the first step of reconciliation by himself.

Knocking on the door, he heard footsteps stopping at the door, but the door never opened.

After waiting for a while and still seeing nothing, Xiao Ke had no choice but to say: "I'm on vacation recently, do you want to go to City B with me to play for a few days? What happened in the past... Now that the bride price is paid off, forget it."

"...don't go." The voice from behind the door seemed to be a little nasal, "Just take care of yourself and leave me alone."

"..."

Xiao Ke can be nice to Han Xilin, but that's because they have lived together for more than half a year and are familiar with each other.As for Xiao Huiguang, he couldn't say any friendly words for a while, so he could only say sullenly: "Then I'll go first. You... I'll leave a phone number for you, and I will keep in touch in the future."

"You said."

After reporting a series of numbers, Xiao Ke said, "I'm leaving."

Xiao Huiguang stopped him at this moment, "Wait."

She thought he had something to say to herself, but after waiting for a while, the door was still closed.

Just when Xiao Ke was about to lose his patience, he finally heard him say: "Xiao Ke, I'm sorry for you. I suffered from not studying before, but I caused you to go back to my old path, and because I was red-eyed and obsessed with ghosts. I almost sold you out... I'm really ashamed to see you."

Xiao Ke, who was successful in his career in this life, didn't leave any of the classics he should have learned in his previous life, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

This time, Xiao Huiguang was completely silent.Hearing the faint choking voice coming from inside, Xiao Ke knew that he would not say anything more, so he had to leave silently.

Seeing him coming out from a distance, Han Xilin, who was waiting outside the car, went up to meet him and asked with concern, "How is it?"

"Much better than I expected." Xiao Ke looked back at the small building again, thinking, if he comes a few more times, Xiao Huiguang's attitude should change, right?

When he turned around, the setting sun reflected in the rearview mirror pierced his eyes, and Xiao Ke noticed that it was another dusk.

Remembering that Han Xilin just ate a bowl of noodles for lunch at the gas station in order to accompany him, he couldn't help feeling a little apologetic, "I'm hungry, you just have to eat with me, and I'll cook for you when I get home in the evening."

Seeing that his demeanor had finally returned to his usual relaxed look, Han Xilin felt relieved, he didn't care about dinner, "Forget it, just rest here for the night and go back tomorrow morning."

"I'm fine for now, what about your work?"

"This year's plan is only the opening of the new building on New Year's Day. The only thing that has not been completed is your promotional photos." Han Xilin walked around to the other side to open the car door for him before sitting back in the driver's seat, "My job now is to follow you until Make a good ad."

Xiao Ke was amused by him, and laughed after a long absence, "Then I will squeeze you hard, Assistant Han."

"At your command." Han Xilin quickly kissed his dimples and started the car.

It's time for dinner, and the New Year is approaching, and there are many dinner parties everywhere.The two turned around a few ways, and the restaurants they found were all overcrowded, and they had to wait for a vacancy.Han Xilin simply chose to pack it and take it to the hotel room to eat.

When checking in at the front desk, Han Xilin suddenly remembered that he took Xiao Ke's ID card during the last transfer, and found that his birthday was at the end of this month.I didn't know last year, and I must not miss it this year.

He asked, "You didn't work on your birthday, did you?"

Xiao Ke was looking down at the unread messages, and happened to see Yu Xiaoyue's message, and said, "Xiaoyin and the others will come back tomorrow, and Xiaoyue also promised me to go out and play the day after tomorrow. I plan to treat them to dinner on my birthday and officially introduce you to Everyone."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told Han Xilin, "Don't prepare gifts."

Han Xilin usually keeps all kinds of small things, almost filling up his room.If it's a birthday gift, it must be a big deal.He was far inferior to Han Xilin in terms of net worth and the speed at which he made money.The gift from the pile of real estate funds last time has not been returned, and if it continues to pile up like this, it will not be enough to return in a lifetime.

As early as remembering his birthday, Han Xilin already had a case in his chest.Hearing what Xiao Ke said, he only smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "I know."

"It should be 'I promise'." Entering the elevator, Xiao Ke was just about to make him promise, when he put away the phone, he suddenly encountered a wrinkled paper.Remembering that this was the reporter's name that Xiao Huiguang had mentioned, he quickly took it out and opened it up for a closer look, putting aside the matter of the gift for the time being.

This is an electricity bill receipt, and the name printed on it is very strange.Xiao Ke didn't know this person, so he sent a message in Moments, attaching the reporter's name, and asked who knew him.

Not long after the news was sent, Xiao Ke received a call from Chen Shangxing, "Xiao Ke, why are you looking for this person?"

"He found my hometown today, interviewed my dad, and asked some not-so-good questions."

Chen Shangxing said: "This person also interviewed me last night, let me inquire for you."

Unexpectedly, there would be a result so soon, Xiao Ke said happily: "Then please."

As soon as he put down the phone, Han Xilin fed him a lion's head, "Here, I ordered it specially for you."
