happy this month

After chatting with Zhu Xinglei for a long time in the cold night, it turned out that An Jiayue caught a cold the next day.

During the acting class during the day, there were several violent disputes. The classmate who played against him was called Wei Wu. He was as his name suggests. Almost fell over.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, staggered two steps back, twisted his waist and put his legs on the ground, prevented the fall, and turned the danger into safety. After the end, he was named and praised by the teacher: "Look at An Jiayue, she is not feeling well. In place, the lines are also more proficient than you, learn more from him."

A girl in the same group said: "Teacher, we also want to learn, but Jiayue only arranges with us for an hour or two at noon, and does not participate in rehearsals at night, so we can't learn even if we want to."

An Jiayue glanced sideways at the girl. She had a melon-shaped face with big eyes, and the false eyelashes were too long, like the pride in the master's expression, they turned up to the sky.The girl's name is Bao Rong, her personality is completely different from her name, and she is one of the last few in the acting department this year. It is said that her family has a background in the entertainment industry, and the clothes she usually wears are printed with big-name trademarks, for fear that others will not see that she is rich.

Teacher Gao Ling from the Department of Acting is nearly forty years old. Due to a foot injury, he retired from the National Drama Troupe to the front line of teaching. One second he laughs and praises this line is good, the next second he yells that such a simple action is not in place, and his unpredictable temper makes the students famously frightened. When they are criticized, they often dare not fart.

When Bao Rong said these words abruptly, it was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of Teacher Gao's majesty to frighten An Jiayue.

Sure enough, after listening to Bao Rong's words, Teacher Gao immediately frowned, and a few creases appeared on her well-maintained face, indicating that she was very unhappy at the moment: "An Jiayue, why don't you rehearse with your classmates at night?"

A skit is not a one-man show of one person. Disagreement and disunity have always been a big taboo of Teacher Gao. If this sentence is not answered well, he will not be favored by the teacher for a while.

An Jiayue clutched her trouser legs with her fingers, feeling uneasy, looking left and right, as if it was difficult to say: "Teacher, I'm going to work at night..."

"What kind of job do you have? Didn't I often tell you that the first year of freshman should focus on studying, and don't rush to make money."

An Jiayue nodded earnestly: "I know, that's why I didn't go to work last semester, but the cost of living has been really tight in recent months. If this continues, I won't be able to afford food. I have no choice. I'm sorry, Teacher Gao."

He bowed deeply.

Gao Ling didn't expect it to be for such a reason, and was slightly taken aback.It is true that I heard that An Jiayue's family conditions are not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

In recent years, almost all the film academy recruits are from rich families. Poor families cannot afford the expensive art examination classes, so it is difficult to produce good seedlings. The teachers attach great importance to No.1 this year, and they will definitely help if there are difficulties.

"Why don't you apply for financial aid?"

"I applied, but there are only three places for the bursary. I think other applicants have more difficult conditions than me, so I let them. Anyway, I can still maintain my basic life by working part-time."

It was something that he was not qualified to do, but he said it as if he was giving himself up for others, An Jiayue silently complained to herself in her heart: I'm really shameless.

The creases on Gao Ling's face calmed down, and he showed a kind smile, nodding his head: "Don't fight or grab, it's good to be able to bear hardships. Since there is a reason for the incident, then I won't pursue it, but if you have time, try to participate in the rehearsal. "

An Jiayue bowed again to express her thanks, and heard Bao Rong whisper softly.

After a day of class while sick, the symptoms of dizziness were worse than in the morning.

An Jiayue sneezed several times when she went out, sniffed her nose and thought for a while, then got on her bicycle and went to the restaurant.

I promised yesterday that He Chen would come to work today, and it's not good to break my promise.Besides, He Chen is quite polite, so he shouldn't just talk about making fun of him.

The result did not disappoint him.

He locked his bicycle in the parking lot, and walked a hundred meters away. He saw a tall man standing at the door of the restaurant, wearing a long dark green down jacket, and his trousers and boots were unbelievably brown. , like a tall and tall old pine tree, standing upright, majestic and motionless.

An Jiayue raised her forehead.

This stupidity is easy to deceive at first glance.

"You're here." He Chen at least followed his advice today and took off his glasses.Although the dress is still so rustic that I can't bear to look directly at it, and the bangs have not been pulled back, but at least there are fewer coverings on the face, and he looks much handsome: "I didn't see you when I went in. I thought you weren't going to work today. Fortunately, I Wait a little longer."

An Jiayue walked straight towards him, and at the same time as she untied the scarf, the corners of her indifferent and straight mouth raised, and she smiled sweetly: "Mr. He, you are a guest, how can you wait for me, go in quickly, let the foreman see It's time to scold me for not entertaining me well."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't think about it that much, then I'll go in first, see you later."

There were so many customers on Friday night that the waiters were too busy, but after witnessing the horrible scene of Chen Xing being kicked out by the manager yesterday, no one dared to slack off, and they didn't even dare to put their mobile phones on them.

An Jiayue came out of the dressing room after changing into her uniform, put on a mask, and glanced at the table where He Chen was sitting.A young waiter went over to receive the menu, He Chen took the menu, said a few words to the waiter, the waiter nodded and left.

The rule of the restaurant is that the waiter can only leave the table after the customer has finished ordering, so as not to trouble the customer to call the waiter again.

He Chen probably really wanted to appoint him to serve, so he declined others.

If the fish bites the hook and won't let it go, how can there be any reason not to catch it?An Jiayue curled her mouth under the mask, clicked her tongue lightly, picked up the order menu and walked over.

"Mr. He, do you need to order food?"

He Chen was flipping through the menu, and raised his head when he heard the words, and recognized him with just a pair of eyes, and asked, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

An Jiayue kept a certain distance from him: "I caught a cold today, so I can't infect it to you."

He Chen put down the menu, and his tone contained a trace of sincere concern: "Go back to rest if you are sick, and don't have to go to work."

An Jiayue really wanted to complain and go back, you told me not to go up?Who are you?Pay me?

This person always speaks with a subtle sense of being a high-ranking person. Yesterday he wanted to appoint him to serve, but today he speaks like a restaurant owner.It seems that everyone must obey his will, and his words are the truth.

Such people are generally called megalomaniacs.

However, He Chen's temperament of an intellectual was too strong, and his gentle and polite attitude covered up his unpleasant tone.

"No, I have to earn living expenses, and..." An Jiayue lowered her eyelashes, and said softly, "You said yesterday that you would come today, so I thought... I would serve you."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes cautiously to observe He Chen's expression, pretending to be shy is his usual tactic, men who are interested in him will usually be hooked, and ask him if he is short of money, and the rest will be easy .

He Chen was stunned after hearing this, then lowered his head, his bangs blocked his eyes, he couldn't see his eyes clearly, and said in a calm and gentle tone, "Thank you for remembering."

An Jiayue's well-prepared lines were already pouring into her throat, she slammed on the brakes and swallowed them back abruptly, her eloquence turned into a stammer: "I, you...uh, you're being polite."

He Chen raised his head now, with a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was laughing at his clumsiness—at least An Jiayue thought so.He suddenly felt embarrassed that he had been tricked, his face burned, and he ground his teeth under the mask angrily, but his exposed eyes were crooked with a smile.

"You don't have to laugh when you don't want to laugh." He Chen raised his hand and gently pressed the center of his brow, "You're still so young, live a simple life."

An Jiayue's heart thumped, as if she had been hit by something, she was a little dazed, and didn't recall the meaning of these words for a while.

At this moment, the smile in He Chen's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he lowered his head to the rim of the white bone china cup, and took a sip of the Ceylon black tea brewed in the restaurant.

The knuckles of his fingers holding the handle of the cup are protruding, slender and strong, and they are very stable. With his elbows hanging in the air, the heavy teacup hardly shakes. Only people who have been carrying heavy objects all year round can train such stability.

An Jiayue didn't notice this, but only noticed He Chen's shirt, which was hidden in a gray sweater that looked like what was left of her grandfather's wear. Two sections of cuffs and collar were exposed, but she could still see the workmanship of this shirt. Excellent, obedient and clean.

And, with a pair of chic and elegant square metal cufflinks.

He was a little confused, how could the same person have such different tastes in innerwear and outerwear?

Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind: "Jiayue."

Very close, the voice is teasing.

An Jiayue turned her head and met Xu Hui's eyes without warning, she was surprised: "Brother Xu, why are you here?"

"You said you don't have time on weekends, so I have to try my luck in the middle of the week." Xu Hui grinned, with an ambiguous expression, "You have nothing else to do tonight? Come with me after work?"

Where to go, what to do, self-evident.

These rich second generations played crazy. An Jiayue had heard some rumors that he just wanted to make some money, but he didn't want to really involve himself in it.

"Brother Xu, you also saw that I have so many things to do, I am so busy, who knows when I will leave work." An Jiayue coaxed him in a low voice, so that He Chen could not hear, "Otherwise, you should have a meal first, don't Wait for me, I will contact you when I am free some other day."

Xu Hui had a half-smile, "Oh, are you free tonight? Forget it, I'll come back another day."

After speaking, he turned and left.

An Jiayue watched him leave in bewilderment.He didn't even eat dinner, unlike Xu Hui's stalking style in the past.Maybe it was because I realized that I had been taken advantage of in the past few months, so I came to try it out at the end, but seeing no chance, I simply gave up.

That's good, so I don't have to find excuses to refuse all day long.

"That person is...?" He Chen asked.

An Jiayue came back to her senses: "Oh, it's my senior."

"Hmm." He Chen didn't know what to think for a while, and asked coldly, "What major are you studying?"

This question was asked abruptly, and An Jiayue was more careful: "Why did you ask this suddenly?"

"Curiosity, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

It's not inconvenient to tell me, He Chen doesn't look like a pervert who will follow the school.What's more, he has been in the news, and he can search the name on the Internet, and the school's professional information can be seen at a glance, so it is no longer private.

An Jiayue replied truthfully: "I'm from the Acting Department of the Film Academy. I'm just a freshman this year. By the way, Mr. He, have you thought about anything better? I'm afraid you're hungry."

The topic naturally shifted to ordering food. He Chen took over the conversation, picked up the menu, and said, "You can recommend it. I rarely eat French food, so I don't know much about it."

An Jiayue smiled and nodded, her fingers moved up and down, and quickly helped him choose the pan-fried sea bass, Lujie's foie gras, black truffle hot spring eggs, and wagyu tartare.

The price is moderate, and the portion is also suitable.

"Mr. He, do you like drinking?"

"Not much."

An Jiayue sighed softly, feeling a little regretful: "I wanted to recommend a wine to you. It must be great with foie gras. If you don't drink it, forget it..."

He Chen: "It's not that I don't drink at all, which one?"

An Jiayue opened the wine list and pointed with her slender and soft fingers: "This Clos de Vougeot Burgundy top red wine is not bad. Generally, I would recommend this to customers who order black truffle and foie gras."

There was a faint smile on the corner of He Chen's mouth, which seemed to be appreciative: "Well, you are very good at recommending Babette's outfit."

An Jiayue was surprised: "You even know this?"

"It's just what it looks like in the movie."

"You watch so many movies..." Anyone would be happy to meet a friend who can chat well. A certain string in his heart seemed to be gently plucked, shaking slightly, and he treated He Chen differently from the bottom of his heart .

"I don't deny this. I seldom meet friends who can chat with me speculatively in this regard, but I didn't expect to be with you..." He Chen paused for some reason, his brows furrowed for a moment, and then he calmed down again It's like thinking of something that doesn't go well, forcing myself not to think about it.

An Jiayue didn't want to bring the two of them too close. After all, it was only the second time they met. He only knew He Chen's name and nothing else.Taking advantage of this moment of silence, he changed the subject in a timely manner: "Mr. He, would you like this wine?"

He Chen nodded, and turned his gaze back to the drink list: "Just this one."

There is no price tag next to the name of the wine, and He Chen doesn't seem to care about the price, but out of work obligations, An Jiayue still reminded:

"The price of the wine varies with the year and quality. The price of this wine in our store ranges from three or four hundred to three or four thousand. What price do you want?"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and added: "Generally, the waiters will recommend expensive drinks to guests, because the more expensive the drinks they sell, the more commissions they will get, and the more bonuses you will get in the month-end assessment. But I think, since you don't How to drink, just order the cheapest one and taste it.”

He Chen didn't hesitate: "Order the most expensive one."

An Jiayue was surprised: "Mr. He, in case you don't like..."

"It's okay, even if I don't like it, but I believe that food and wine can turn an ordinary meal into a love affair." He Chen looked up at him.

This man's eyebrows were really handsome, and the more he looked at them, the more interesting they became. The tip of his eyebrows was raised intentionally or unintentionally, as if waiting for him to answer, An Jiayue's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly replied: "Well, I also like this line very much. "

He Chen seemed to be belatedly aware: "I'm sorry, the quotation was inappropriate and I offended you."

It was the first time in An Jiayue's life that someone said the word "offensive" to him, and she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. He, you are so kind."

He Chen was slightly stunned: "Really, this is the first time someone described me like that... let's not talk about that, can you have a drink with me?"

"The restaurant stipulates that the waiters are not allowed to drink with the guests." Seeing a little disappointment in his eyes, An Jiayue inexplicably couldn't bear it.So he bent down, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "However, this rule is only in the restaurant... If you can't finish drinking, you can take it back. When I'm free, let's have another drink?"

He Chen showed a satisfied look, and whispered back to him, with a low and sweet voice: "Okay, wait until you are free."

It was as if the two had made a secret pact.

An Jiayue backed away with a smile, and left with the menu she ordered.Still a little dizzy, but in a surprisingly good mood.

Maybe it's because of this month's performance bonus, it's none other than him.
