Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

At this moment, the blankets seemed to be under a spell, stirring and revealing a handsome face that was still sleepy-eyed but incredibly dashing.

Xie Feng squinted, his eyes still blurry with sleep, and said, "Then... kiss me, and I'll get up."

Tang Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes and teased, "Are you cosplaying the Frog Prince? Will a kiss make you wake up?"

"certainly not!"

Xie Feng seemed to be awakened by these words, and suddenly sat up from the quilt, his messy hair looking like a fluffy bird's nest.

"I am Prince Charming!"

"You?" Tang Yu couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance.

"Would a prince on a white horse wear baggy shorts and have that messy hair? Even a white horse would avoid that look."

"I'm just missing a white horse!"

Xie Feng moved swiftly and pulled Tang Yu into his arms.

"If you like, I'll call a friend right now and ask him to buy me a white horse."

Tang Yu burst into laughter at his words.

"Come on, with your morning grumpiness, the white horse probably won't even have time to stand still before it's scared away by your 'moment of getting up'."

"That won't do,"

Xie Feng not only didn't let go, but tightened his arms, gently resting his chin on Tang Yu's shoulder and rubbing against her like a spoiled puppy.

"My white horse will carry you to get our marriage certificate. Then, we'll ride our white horse to the Civil Affairs Bureau in style."

"Screw you!"

Tang Yu blushed and pushed the other person away.

"Stop talking nonsense here and get up now."

"If you don't get up, I'll post a video of you dancing in that big floral jacket on Weibo so everyone can see your 'unique dance moves.'"

"Send it," Xie Feng said nonchalantly, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Anyway, I've already thought of a trending topic: #Top Male Idol's Concert Confession: The Success Rate of Confessions in Northeast China's Floral-Patterned Jackets#, how interesting."

It'll definitely become a viral sensation, and might even spark a trend of using floral print jackets for confessions of love.

Tang Yu was both annoyed and amused.

"How can you be so shameless? I'm truly impressed."

"I learned this from you,"

Xie Feng suddenly flipped over and pinned Tang Yu beneath him, instantly closing the distance between them until they could feel each other's warm breath.

"Teacher Tang, I remember you said last night that you liked me like this..."

"When did I say that?"

Tang Yu reached out to push Xie Feng, but Xie Feng firmly grasped her wrist.

"You're just saying that," Xie Feng lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips, "You clearly like me a lot..."

"narcissism!"

"That's just narcissism towards you," Xie Feng suddenly pulled back the covers and wrapped her in them. "Come on, let your Prince Charming give you a good morning kiss..."

Xie Feng! You haven't brushed your teeth yet!

"Okay, I'm going to brush my teeth!"

Xie Feng sighed.

"I now feel that I am more suited to be the Frog Prince."

After the two finished breakfast, Tang Yu checked her phone messages and spoke to Xie Feng.

"I'm going to meet my older brother and sister-in-law and their family who live in San Francisco this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Feng instantly became excited.

"Am I going to meet your parents so soon?"

Tang Yu simply scoffed.

"You really love to daydream. My older brother and I have nothing to say to each other. We can find a middleman to get this awkward meal over with."

I asked you to liven things up, but you don't need to be too enthusiastic; the relationship is complicated.

Chapter 22 All Is Well

Actually, Tang Yu didn't originally plan to have dinner with Su Mingzhe, but Su Mingzhe still found out about her concert in San Francisco.

Yesterday, Su Mingzhe and his wife sent her a message, saying earnestly that they hadn't seen each other for many years and that the siblings should at least have a meal together to reconnect.

Tang Yu thought about it for a moment, and since the two of them weren't at the point where they couldn't even have a meal together, she nodded in agreement.

As for Xie Feng's confession, although it was somewhat unexpected, Tang Yu felt that having one more person at the table today might make the meal more relaxed and enjoyable.

However, Xie Feng clearly had his own considerations. He looked serious, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression showed some concern.

"Eating is no problem, but I need to know what I can and cannot do, and you must tell me clearly in advance."

You know I tend to talk a lot when I get excited, and it wouldn't be good if I put you and your older brother in an awkward situation.

Tang Yu thought it made sense. If Xie Feng didn't give her a heads-up beforehand, he might really start jumping around in her sensitive spots.

She looked at Xie Feng intently, her eyes carrying a hint of admonition.

"Don't ask me about my childhood, and don't talk about my family and parents."

You can just talk about trending topics online, food, scenery, and life in America; that should be enough.

Xie Feng wasn't stupid; the two had been friends for over a year.

When dining out, Tang Yu never talks about her family situation, nor does she mention her parents, brothers, or sisters.

He tilted his head slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Is this why you refuse in-depth interviews? People in the industry say you're a bit arrogant and aloof."

But in reality, everyone who has interacted with you knows you're very easy to get along with. However, those who wanted to conduct in-depth interviews with you, after being repeatedly rejected by you, gave you the nickname "Aloof Sister."

Tang Yu naturally understood Xie Feng's curiosity, but he was very tactful and did not ask directly. Instead, he used his own methods to test the boundaries of the topic.

She sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

"The relationship between parents and children is hard for outsiders to understand. I don't want the whole country to judge what's wrong with my family, after all, there's no such thing as true empathy in this world."

Every family has its own troubles, and some misunderstandings can only be understood by those involved. I don't need outsiders to understand me, nor do I need their insults, and I don't want to become a laughing stock.

But how can you not talk about your family and parents when you're being interviewed? Plus, with media editing, you can't even imagine how it will end up.

There will definitely be a lot of people watching me make a fool of myself, so I declined all in-depth interviews.

This topic is a bit heavy. Xie Feng is from Northeast China and grew up in Heilongjiang.

Although his parents worked in the system, they were very humorous and witty, which is why Xie Feng was cheerful, lively and active from a young age.

Xie Feng's path to becoming an actor was purely accidental. Due to his tall and slender physique and handsome appearance, he was first discovered and entered the modeling industry. Later, he was discovered and signed by an agent, thus entering the film and television industry.

However, Xie Feng did not become famous overnight; he had also struggled to make a living in a basement in Beijing.

He has been betrayed by his agent, sold out by his friends, and has also witnessed the even more difficult lives of those who have migrated to Beijing for work.

After starring in numerous anti-Japanese war dramas and melodramatic period dramas set in the Republican era, he finally got the chance to play the second male lead, which led to his rise to fame and popularity across the country.

Therefore, Xie Feng's cheerfulness is not due to a smooth life, but rather stems from the nurturing environment he grew up in.

He fully understands that everyone in this world has their own difficulties, after all, he himself has experienced many hardships.

Thinking back on his years in the entertainment industry, Xie Feng's eyes revealed a hint of emotion.

“I haven’t experienced what you’ve gone through, but I know that not all parents in this world love their children.”

When I was living in a basement in Beijing, I met many people. Some of them were abandoned by their parents, some were ignored by their parents, some were forced by their parents to send money home, and some were even sold by their parents.

At that time, after hearing those stories, I felt mostly grateful for my own parents' loving relationship. To me, they were ultimately just other people's stories.

Tang Yu nodded gently, a smile on her face.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. When you are in a miserable situation, bystanders often just feel glad that they have not suffered the same misfortune.

After that, Tang Yu casually mentioned her siblings.

Su Mingzhe graduated from Tsinghua University, then went to Stanford University for further studies, and eventually became a programmer. He successfully settled down in the United States, got married, and had children.

For decades, this has been the life that most ordinary immigrants have longed for.

However, Tang Yu felt it was a pity that Su Mingzhe missed the golden period of China's economic take-off.

Sometimes, a person's vision and knowledge can limit the achievements they can make.

Su Mingzhe is indeed a top student, but his family upbringing failed to give him a broader political and strategic vision; he still only thinks about getting a stable job through part-time work.

So even with such a high level of education, he ultimately became just an ordinary programmer or office worker.

The two met at Su Mingzhe's home in the United States, a charming little villa.

This was the first time Tang Yu had met Su Mingzhe's wife, Wu Fei. Wu Fei was a gentle and elegant woman, and her kind nature could be seen from her words and actions.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides took their seats.

Su Mingzhe leaned forward slightly, a curious expression on his face, and asked, "Who is Mr. Xie?"

Tang Yu smiled and responded generously.

"Big brother, he's my newly started boyfriend."

As soon as he said that, Xie Feng, who was sitting next to him, instantly smiled broadly.

That smile was as bright as the sun, and her eyes were full of undisguised joy.

He quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Hello, brother. This is a gift that Yu Yu and I picked out for the child. Xiaomi is very cute."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently rubbed Xiaomi's head, sighing inwardly.
