1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 225: Capture Lan Jieying

When Lan Jieying heard Xu Yuexin's voice, her heart began to beat fast.

He really didn't forget himself.

But, it’s already ten o’clock. Is it unsafe to go out?

"I heard from Qingxia that your movie was finished today."

"So I plan to treat you to a midnight snack to celebrate, and the place will be on my rooftop."

"Well, I'll pick you up if you want."

As if he could hear Lan Jieying's doubts, Xu Yuexin said on the phone.

Hmm? Ah Xin is going to pick me up?
And the place to eat was not at a late-night snack stall outside, but on the rooftop of his house?
Then there is no security issue.

Lan Jieying felt relieved and immediately agreed to Xu Yuexin.

"Okay, can you take me back after dinner?"

Lan Jieying requested.

"Don't worry, I'll take you home."

Xu Yuexin assured on the other end of the phone.

"Then come to my house. I'll be waiting for you there."

Lan Jieying said that she felt sweet in her heart at the moment.

Xu Yuexin was young, handsome and rich. Lan Jieying had once suspected that he was a promiscuous man and thought that the words he said to her casually after buying the phone that day were just her words.

As a result, Xu Yuexin actually paid attention to the day she finished filming, which was somewhat beyond Lan Jieying's expectations.

This made Lan Jieying begin to feel that Xu Yuexin might be serious about her.

With a shy and excited mood, Lan Jieying waited at home.

Not long after, her cell phone rang again.

"Hey, I'm downstairs at your house, come down."

"Yeah, okay, here I come."

Lan Jieying agreed in a low voice and tiptoed out of the small room so as not to disturb her sister.

After going downstairs, she saw Xu Yuexin leaning against the door of the Rolls-Royce waiting for her, so she walked up happily.

"Actually, we finished filming in the morning, and had a celebratory meal at noon."

"You can come find me this afternoon."

After meeting, Lan Jieying pursed her lips and revealed a pure and sweet smile.

"Why, are you not satisfied with the time I invited you?"

Xu Yuexin smiled slightly.

"no no."

Lan Jieying quickly waved her hands and explained, "I'm worried that it's not safe for you to drive at night."

"It doesn't matter, I'm an experienced driver."

"Old driver? You are only four years older than me, why do you call me old driver?"

"Secret."

Xu Yuexin winked at Lan Jieying and said, "You will know later."

"Keep it a secret..."

Lan Jieying said coquettishly and glanced at Xu Yuexin.

After Lan Jieying opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, Xu Yuexin started the car and drove towards the alley exit.

The alley where Lan Jieying lives is so remote that Xu Yuexin couldn't find the place at first and had to ask passers-by.

After driving out of the alley, the Rolls-Royce drove smoothly on the street, and the only sound inside the car was the rustling of tires.

Since they were walking at night, Lan Jieying didn't talk much to Xu Yuexin on the way, even though she had a lot to say at the moment.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion on Taiping Mountain, Xu Yuexin stopped the car, opened the bronze door, then got back into the car and drove forward.

After parking the car in the basement, Xu Yuexin and Lan Jieying took the elevator to the ground level and then entered the house.

"Ah Xin, how many floors does your house have?"

Although it was not her first time visiting Xu Yue’s new home, Lan Jieying was still curious about everything in the villa.

She came in such a hurry and was so nervous last time that she had no time to appreciate the details of the villa.

Now that she entered the villa again, Lan Jieying could fully feel the overwhelming atmosphere of wealth in the villa.

The antique calligraphy and paintings in the art gallery, the rock slab background wall, the silverware on the dining table...

"Don't just stand there, help me carry the ingredients upstairs."

Just as Lan Jieying was fascinated by the scene in the villa, Xu Yuexin reminded her in front of her.

"Hey."

Lan Jieying woke up as if from a dream and looked up.

Xu Yuexin's hands were already filled with the barbecue grill, folding table and tableware, and the ingredients and drinks were piled on the floor.

Lan Jieying walked quickly forward, took out the bag of wine and drinks, held it in one hand, then picked up the ingredients and walked towards the elevator with Xu Yuexin.

After entering the elevator, Xu Yuexin pressed the button and arrived at the top floor terrace with Lan Jieying.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Lan Jieying was attracted by the starry sky above her head.

"Wow, so beautiful."

Lan Jieying exclaimed in admiration.

Xu Yuexin looked in the direction of the sound and saw brilliant stars in the sky and the vast Milky Way, which was so beautiful that it was shocking.

“There aren’t that many lights on the mountain, so you can see the stars, right?”

Lan Jieying asked Xu Yuexin with great interest.

"Yes, too many lights will cause light pollution."

Xu Yuexin walked to the front of the rooftop, put down the barbecue grill and said, "Okay, let's eat here."

After he set up the table, Lan Jieying put the ingredients and drinks on it and prepared the charcoal with Xu Yuexin.

"Click."

After the charcoal was placed under the grill, Xu Yuexin lit the charcoal with a lighter.

Soon, the charcoal was burning red piece by piece.

Xu Yuexin bought the best silver frost charcoal, which not only burns quickly, but also produces no smoke and will not choke people.

"Ah Xin, do you like beef or squid?"

Lan Jieying picked up the exquisitely packaged box containing the ingredients and asked him.

"Beef, and salmon."

Xu Yuexin said that he understood that Lan Jieying wanted to bake his favorite food first.

Lan Jieying lined up several skewers of beef and salmon on the grill and fanned them with a small fan.

"How do you feel about filming recently?"

Xu Yuexin asked at this time.

“It feels great. No one dares to bully me.”

Lan Jieying raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Because I have your support and the company's support."

“It’s just a little tiring.”

"Well, if you want to be a star, you have to be so tired."

"I remember the pay for this film was 15, right?"

"Yes, according to the contract I can get 7."

When Lan Jieying mentioned this, she was extremely happy, "I want to buy a house so that I don't have to live in a small room anymore."

"Seventy-five thousand is not enough."

“It’s okay, I can lend you money.”

Lan Jieying said with eyes full of longing, "My monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, which is enough to pay off the loan."

“Then you can only buy a small house.”

Xu Yuexin said, "I'll give you some money, so you can buy a bigger one."

Although it is the 80s now, the housing prices in Hong Kong have reached the level of four to five thousand per square meter.

Even if the loan amount is 70%, Lan Jieying's 75,000 yuan can only buy a small house of 40 to 50 square meters.

“But big houses are really expensive.”

Lan Jieying said embarrassedly, "I really can't spend your money anymore."

"It's just a house, what's the big deal."

Xu Yuexin said casually, flipping the beef skewers and salmon over, "You are now an artist with works, so of course your living environment should be better."

“Hey, I hope it’ll be a big hit at the box office.”

When talking about her movie, Lan Jieying immediately became full of hope.

This is Lan Jieying's debut film. If it does well at the box office, she will become an overnight sensation.

At the same time, it can also give back to Xu Yuexin.

Lan Jieying knew that the company had invested in this movie and the box office revenue would be directly related to the company's profits.

"It would be great if it sells well, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

Xu Yuexin said, "Movie making requires constant trial and error."

After saying that, he picked up the grilled beef skewers and gave two to Lan Jieying.

"Thank you...but it better be successful."

Lan Jieying took the beef skewers and began to eat them in small bites, feeling touched.

Other entertainment companies outside have very strict requirements for their artists.

Especially for an artist who has just debuted like her, there is almost no room for error. Once the first movie fails, she will face the fate of being shelved.

Xu Yuexin gave her the opportunity to trial and error, which was a very rare opportunity.

"Would you like a beer?"

While Lan Jieying was still eating the beef skewers in her hand, Xu Yuexin had already finished showing off what he had in his hand, picked up the drink and asked.

"Ah."

Lan Jieying agreed.

She seldom drinks alcohol normally, but she drank today because she was with Xu Yuexin.

"boom."

"Gurgling..."

Xu Yuexin bit open the cap of the beer bottle, poured himself a large glass, and poured half a glass for Lan Jieying.

"Come, let's drink to celebrate the completion of your debut novel."

Xu Yuexin raised his glass and said to Lan Jieying with a smile.

"Well, it's all thanks to your support!"

Lan Jieying also smiled and raised her glass.

After drinking, Xu Yuexin picked up the new skewers and put them on the grill.

One of the salmon had its back not cut. Lan Jieying saw this and picked up a knife, trying to cut it open.

"Be careful not to scratch your hands."

Xu Yuexin held Lan Jieying's hand and said.

Lan Jieying felt a little nervous after being touched by him and subconsciously pulled her hand away.

At this moment, the blade passed across Xu Yuexin's hand.

"You're not hurt, are you, Mr. Xu?"

Lan Jieying was frightened and quickly stood up and said.

"It's okay. It was the back of the knife that hit me."

Xu Yuexin shook his head and said, "Also, why did the name change again?"

"Uh-huh, sorry..."

Lan Jieying was still a little scared and said, "I was too nervous just now."

"Also, it's not that I hate you, it's just that I've never been in a relationship before..."

As she was speaking, Lan Jieying's voice stopped.

She lowered her head nervously and secretly observed Xu Yuexin's expression.

"I remember you said that."

Xu Yuexin said with a smile, "Come to me."

After saying that, he picked up the knife and started cutting the salmon's back.

Phew... Fortunately he is not angry.

At this point, Lan Jieying finally breathed a sigh of relief and dared to look up and continue to fire Xu Yuexin.

After the fear disappeared, Lan Jieying felt shy again.

Only then did she realize that she had said what was in her heart out of fear.

Fortunately, Xu Yuexin's expression did not change, and he did not intend to take advantage of the situation to ask further questions.

This comforted Lan Jieying to some extent.

After a while, Xu Yuexin cut the salmon, put down the knife and leaned back in the recliner.

"I told you before not to fall in love, do you remember?"

Xu Yuexin looked at Lan Jieying's eyes which were as clear as spring water and asked her.

"I remember, what's wrong?"

Lan Jieying didn't understand what Xu Yuexin meant and nodded quietly.

Faced with Lan Jieying's trembling question, Xu Yuexin did not answer immediately, but pinched her smooth little hand and put his arm around her shoulders.

"..."

Lan Jieying's face turned red, her shoulders trembled slightly under his arm, and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak.

"Be good, don't be nervous."

"Just holding hands."

Xu Yuexin coaxed softly. "Um... I'm sorry, I was a little... um..."

After hearing Xu Yuexin's words, Lan Jieying just relaxed a little.

At this time, Xu Yuexin went straight up and kissed Lan Jieying's cherry red lips tightly, causing her to let out a delicate moan.

Lan Jieying's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pushed her delicate hands forward, trying to block Xu Yuexin.

But how could she resist Xu Yuexin?

After kissing Lan Jieying, Xu Yuexin held her tightly in his arms, not giving her any chance to escape.

Lan Jieying was very panicked at first, but then she slowly relaxed and finally shyly accepted Xu Yuexin's kiss and stopped pushing him away.

……

After a while, Xu Yuexin let go of Lan Jieying, who was almost out of breath, and gently stroked her hair.

"Good boy, you are so pretty."

Xu Yuexin whispered softly in Lan Jieying's ear.

Lan Jieying leaned her face on his shoulder, closed her eyes slightly and nodded gently. She felt her neck and earlobes starting to get hot again because of Xu Yuexin's breath.

Until now, Lan Jieying is still at a loss.

She didn't expect that her first love would come so quickly.

After the kiss ended, Lan Jieying still lay limp on Xu Yuexin, gasping weakly.

“The salmon was burnt.”

She poked Xu Yuexin's chest with her slender jade finger and scolded him in his arms.
“Re-bake it.”

Xu Yuexin held Lan Jieying in one hand and removed all the charcoal-black salmon and beef and replaced them with new ones.

When he sat back in his chair, Xu Yuexin deliberately frowned and covered his chest with his hands.

"What's wrong with you? Does your chest hurt?"

Lan Jieying saw that something was wrong and quickly expressed her concern.

"Well... you poked me just now and it hurt."

Xu Yuexin pretended to be difficult.

Did it hurt just now?
I clearly didn't use any effort.

Lan Jieying was surprised at first, but later realized that Xu Yuexin was playing tricks.

"Really? Should I apologize to you then?"

Lan Jieying rolled her eyes at him.

"An apology is required."

Xu Yuexin said seriously.

"How do you want me to apologize?"

"Let me poke you in the same place."

"rogue……"

Lan Jieying felt embarrassed again and said while covering her feverish face.

While the two were talking, the salmon, beef and other items had been grilled, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lan Jieying had already had dinner, but after Xu Yuexin's disturbance just now, she was really a little hungry now.

However, she did not just focus on eating herself, but first took two skewers of beef and one skewer of grilled fish for Xu Yuexin.

"Do you usually live here alone?"

Lan Jieying asked Xu Yuexin.

"Yes, you want to come live with me?"

"No way, don't talk nonsense."

Lan Jieying quickly denied it.

"Then I want you to come and live here."

"When I'm alone at home every day, I sometimes feel it's too empty."

Xu Yuexin said bluntly, "Starting tonight, you will live here."

"what?"

Lan Jieying didn't expect Xu Yuexin to make such an invitation, and she was at a loss for a moment.

If I really stay here, will he do anything to me?

Lan Jieying thought a little fearfully.

"You can sleep in the bedroom across from me."

Xu Yuexin added sincerely.

Living in the bedroom opposite?

Since Xu Yuexin took the initiative to propose this, it means that he should not have any bad intentions?
"Of course you can. But you can't do anything excessive."

After thinking for a while, Lan Jieying finally agreed with a red face in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

Before she left, she never thought that she would actually agree to spend the night at Xu Yuexin's house.

After a while, Xu Yuexin and Lan Jieying finished their barbecue, packed up the barbecue grill and other utensils, and went downstairs.

"You have so many rooms."

After putting away all the utensils, Lan Jieying looked at the rows of bedrooms on the second floor of the villa and said with emotion, "Can a lot of people live here at once?"

"There are twelve rooms in total."

Xu Yuexin said, "There are six suites and six single rooms."

"You're staying in a suite tonight. You can take a shower right inside."

"Oh...a suite? That would be great."

Lan Jieying breathed a sigh of relief again.

She had been worried about the embarrassment of being seen by Xu Yuexin when she stayed overnight, as she had just finished taking a shower. But now it seemed that she had been overthinking.

"There are pajamas prepared for you in the room, you can put them on."

Xu Yuexin said to Lan Jieying.

"Uh-huh……"

Lan Jieying nodded, and only reacted after turning around.

Even your pajamas are prepared in advance?

Doesn't that mean Xu Yuexin had already been planning for tonight?

Lan Jieying thought shyly that she felt like she had fallen into Xu Yuexin's hands.

Soon after she turned and walked into the bedroom, she heard the sound of water splashing inside.

Xu Yuexin finished his shower before her, opened his bedroom drawer, and took out a card-based game console.

This game console was purchased by him recently, and it contains classic games such as Pac-Man.

Xu Yuexin connected the game console to the TV and power supply, inserted the game card, and started playing with fascination after the picture loaded.

The buttons of the old mechanical handle made a loud noise. Lan Jieying heard the noise from his side after taking a shower.

"What is Axin doing?"

Lan Jieying curiously opened the door and asked Xu Yuexin, who was concentrating on staring at the screen and pressing the handle.

"Playing games."

Xu Yuexin said without turning his head, still controlling the yellow head on the screen to eat beans.

Lan Jieying was also attracted by the scene on the screen and walked over to sit next to Xu Yuexin.

"Games? Video games?"

She had only heard of a game that could be played on TV, but had never played it herself.

"Yeah, do you want to play with us?"

"Okay, I want to try it."

"Wait a moment..."

After Xu Yuexin finished the game he was playing, he stood up and connected the second controller to Lan Jieying and started a new game for her.

Lan Jieying focused all her attention on the TV screen, reading the options one by one to understand what they meant.

"Hey, look at the handle."

Xu Yuexin patted Lan Jieying's shoulder lightly and said.

"Hey, hey."

Lan Jieying came to her senses and quickly lowered her head.

"Here, this is down, this is up, this is left and right. Just press the corresponding button and the head will move in the corresponding direction."

Xu Yuexin entered the game screen for Lan Jieying, and his hands stayed on each button in turn to explain to her.

"The character's task is to eat as many beans as possible while avoiding being caught by these four ghosts. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand."

Lan Jieying said happily, thinking that the game was so simple that she should be able to master it easily.

Soon, the first game started.

"Clap, clap."

Lan Jieying immediately followed Xu Yuexin's instructions and began to use the handle to operate the yellow head, eating beans non-stop while avoiding ghosts.

Lan Jieying looked very focused, with her mind completely focused on the operation.

But talk is talk and action is action.

After a while, her yellow head was caught by the ghost.

"Oh, I didn't stop pressing it."

"The ghost moves too fast."

Lan Jieying put down the handle in frustration and pouted angrily.

"Don't worry, it's always like this at the beginning."

Xu Yuexin held back his laughter, patted Lan Jieying's shoulders, picked up the controller and said, "Look how I play."

The screen entered the game scene, and the yellow head inside moved quickly.

Hide, hide, hide.

Eat! Eat!
As Xu Yuexin performed the crackling operation, the number of beans on the screen continued to decrease.

In front of Xu Yuexin, the ghost was so slow and clumsy that it couldn't catch up with his yellow head at all.

Even after Xu Yuexin controlled the Yellow Head to eat a pill, it could chase ghosts and kill them all over the screen.

Seeing this completely different situation, Lan Jieying felt incredible.

It’s the same game, but why is Xu Yuexin so good at operating it, but just the opposite when he plays it himself?

Lan Jieying thought to herself, lowered her head and carefully observed Xu Yuexin's operations, wanting to learn from him.

First of all, Xu Yuexin's operation is much faster than others.

Although Lan Jieying tried her best to press the button quickly, there was still a big gap compared to Xu Yuexin's smooth speed.

Moreover, Xu Yuexin is both a leader and a team leader, and his ability to cooperate and collaborate is obviously better than hers.

Often, as soon as something changes on the screen, he can react immediately with his hands and make corresponding evasive or chasing movements.

Lan Jieying concluded.

Soon, the yellow head controlled by Xu Yuexin ate all the beans and declared victory in the game.

"Well, did you see anything?"

Xu Yuexin put down the handle and turned to Lan Jieying.

"Yeah, I want to play one more round."

Lan Jieying nodded.

"Play as many games as you want."

Xu Yuexin said, "Look, by doing this, you can enter the game..."

After teaching Lan Jieying how to enter the game, Xu Yuexin watched from the side.

"Pah, pah, pah."

Lan Jieying's hands were pressing on the handle again and again, and it was not difficult to see that her reaction time had indeed improved a lot this time.

Although not as proficient as Xu Yuexin, it is at least at a qualified level.

After some difficult twists and turns, the candy beans in the picture were eaten less and less by her.

The more time passed, the more nervous Lan Jieying became.

Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and her palms were almost sweating.

"oops."

At this moment, she made a mistake in operation and was caught up by the ghost and ate her yellow head.

"I almost won."

Lan Jieying couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"It's okay, you've made great progress, let's play another round."

Xu Yuexin encouraged.

Lan Jieying didn't say anything, but just silently started a new game.

This time, Lan Jieying's performance was better than last time, and her operation became more skillful.
