Chapter 44 - distant



44

How do you make someone think you love them?

Shen Xingzhou had never encountered such a big problem in his twenty-three-year-old life.

However, Ye Liuying couldn’t give him any more information, so he could only follow Gu Fan and ask about esoteric love topics.

Gu Fan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Later, he was so annoyed by Shen Xingzhou’s question that he just sent people to watch his movie.

As a result, this guy came back and told him—

“I can’t make it clear by dying, can I?”

mdzz.

“You never thought about why she thinks you don’t like her?” Gu Fan mercifully mentioned Shen Xingzhou.

Shen Xingzhou’s bad temper was all tossed away.

His slender peach blossom eyes were full of confusion, and he looked like a young man who fell in love, never turning back without hitting the south wall.

Gu Fan was pleased by Shen Xingzhou’s appearance, and said unhurriedly, “Did you honestly say that you wouldn’t like her?”

“…” It’s really terrifying.

Shen Xingzhou didn’t dare to recall how stupid he was when he was so annoyed at the time, and he wanted to hit people when he saw that high-level attitude.

The slap in the face comes too fast like a tornado.

At that time, Shen Xingzhou never imagined that he would make such a big mistake in Ye Liuying’s place.

“But that was a long time ago…I…”

Shen Xingzhou remembered that Ye Liuying’s attitude towards him had eased a lot, and it was obvious that she was not as opposed to him at the beginning.

Especially when she took him to an unnamed restaurant, he could feel the delicate atmosphere between them.

Although what happened next was beyond his expectations.

Shen Xingzhou thought in frustration.

In the end, his pride and conceit fulfilled him, but also hurt him and her.

“What are you?” Gu Fan put down the book in his hand and looked at Shen Xingzhou with interest.

His old fox-like expression made Shen Xingzhou’s scalp tingle.

“…I understand.” Shen Xingzhou pouted angrily.

“Oh—” Gu Fan picked up the book again, and was reluctant to give Shen Xingzhou a glance, “Then you can get out.”

However, Shen Xingzhou did not stay in Lingnan for too long.

There were still a lot of things in the company waiting for him to deal with, and he had to go back to Jiangcheng the next day.

Because of Zheng Manfei’s visit these few days, Ye Liuying has been taking her to play with her, but not Shen Xingzhou.

Of course.

Even if Zheng Manfei is not there, it is estimated that there is nothing wrong with Shen Xingzhou.

Shen Xingzhou left Lingnan in a very disappointed and bright mood.

fortunately.

He still had time to recover.

After Shen Xingzhou left, Zheng Manfei finally had the opportunity to bring Ye Liuying to Gu Fan’s place.

Because she got along well with Ma Qiu, she helped Ye Liuying and stuffed Ma Qiu into her outing bag and took it to Yanglou Xianzai.

“I said you really like Director Gu?”

In the elevator, Ye Liuying pulled Zheng Manfei’s arm and asked.

“That can still be fake?” Zheng Manfei disagreed, “I like him for a long time.”

Today, she specially wore a red pinch-waist velvet suspender dress and a black oversized coat before going out.

Zheng Manfei, as a beauty blogger, also has excellent facial contours.

She painted herself a careful date makeup, champagne-gold eye shadow blingbling, and the rising eyeliner complemented her seductive fox eyes.

Even Ye Liuying felt her eyes light up when she saw it.

In order to help her out, she very understandingly chose to go out without makeup.

“how long?”

Ye Liuying was suspicious of Zheng Manfei who was full of trains, “You like too many people, even you like Shen Xingzhou.”

“Hahaha, don’t mention this.”

Zheng Manfei was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, “It’s so hard for you to hide it from me. If I had known about your relationship with Shen Xingzhou, would I be mad at him? Huh?”

“As for.” Ye Liuying nodded and said without hesitation, “Anyway, if you change a wall every day, you don’t need to pay too much attention to such details.”

Zheng Manfei was interrupted by Ye Liuying, and she forgot to care about her.

“Don’t make me look like a scumbag, okay?” She pouted and glared at Ye Liuying, “Uncle is different from others.”

“What’s the difference?”

“There are thousands of idols, but Gu Fan can’t be changed.” Zheng Manfei remembered that Gu Fan was a star full of eyes, “Gu Shen, you know? We recently played a documentary show and won an award… Gu Shen and I are young, In the summer vacation of the year I graduated from elementary school, I saw Gu Fan at Gu Shen’s house. At that time, it was just… astonishing.”

“Let me tell you, the twenty-two-year-old Gu Fan can be killed by men, women and children!”

Zheng Manfei held her face in her hands and acted like a nympho.

“Hmm.” Ye Liuying glanced at Zheng Manfei, “No wonder you haven’t caught up with Director Gu for so many years.”

Zheng Manfei slumped, but said with self anesthesia, “I’m afraid that he will be rumored to be a pedophile…”

“And at the beginning, it wasn’t like I liked it, it was just looking at the face.”

“It turns out that you are quite self-aware.” Ye Liuying heard it interestingly, and couldn’t help touching Zheng Manfei’s hair.

“What? I’m serious.” Zheng Manfei patted Ye Liuying and tilted her head to think, “I didn’t know that I liked him until I graduated from high school, but I was too cowardly to pursue him.”

Ye Liuying never thought that Zheng Manfei, who has always been lawless, would still admit to counseling.

She was wondering when she heard Zheng Manfei speak in disappointment, “Well, it’s mainly because he has a girlfriend, so I didn’t think about it that much.”

After all, Gu Fan was in his thirties, and it was too unrealistic to have a girlfriend who had never talked to her.

But Ye Liuying thought about it carefully, and found that he has only two girlfriends that he himself has admitted, but there are a lot of scandals spread by the media.

Therefore, Ye Liuying is not very sure about Gu Fan’s emotional history.

Zheng Manfei knew almost the same because of his friendship with Gu Shen.

“Actually, uncle has only talked about three.” Zheng Manfei counted his hands and said, “You should know about the latter two… the first one is a bit special…”

Seeing Zheng Manfei’s stunned expression, Ye Liuying looked at her puzzled, “How special?”

“It’s Shen Xingzhou’s little aunt.”

Zheng Manfei said and blinked, “Do you think it’s special?”

Ye Liuying finally understood the reason why Shen Xingzhou appeared in Gu Fan’s house.

At the same time, he also sweated for Zheng Manfei.

What does it mean to have a close relationship with your ex’s nephew after breaking up?

As expected of first love.

“…It’s quite special.” Ye Liuying nodded slowly, agreeing with Zheng Manfei’s statement.

Zheng Manfei didn’t care about this.

As soon as the elevator door opened, she walked out excitedly, “I don’t care about this for a long time, and my uncle really hates that woman.”

“Black Moonlight?” Ye Liuying was rarely interested in gossip.

You must know that the brain circuits of an artist like Gu Fan are extraordinary, and the possibility of dying alone cannot be ruled out.

However, Ye Liuying read a lot of his gossip, but none of them mentioned this first love, which is really meaningful.

“There’s no need to say that.”

Zheng Manfei rejected this statement very much, and heaved a sigh of relief: “Actually, being Gu Fan’s cat is better than being his lover.”

Hearing Zheng Manfei say such meaningful words, Ye Liuying looked at her like a ghost, “Now I can be sure that you really like Gu Fan.”

“How can it be fake?”

Zheng Manfei quickly recovered, pulling Ye Liuying and ringing the doorbell of Gu Fan’s house.

Ye Liuying never saw Gu Fan here twice, but this time she didn’t disappoint.

On a winter morning in Lingnan Town, it was just a few minutes after ten o’clock.

The sun hid in the depths of the clouds and did not want to show up, and the gray sky was darker than the snow on the ground.

The small wooden door opened in response, and Gu Fan’s stern figure appeared behind the door.

He was not surprised that Zheng Manfei would bring Ye Liuying over, but his eyes stayed on Ye Liuying’s face for a longer time.

“Uncle~” Zheng Manfei hurriedly stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Gu Fan, and said like a calf, “Aying is my good friend, don’t kill her.”

Gu Fan didn’t speak, he turned around and went back to the house after opening the door.

He and Ye Liuying imagined very differently.

Gu Fan is extremely disgusted by others taking pictures of him, so there are not many photos about him on the Internet, and the only ones are also regarded as gods by fans.

One of the most widely circulated photos was taken on set.

Gu Fan closed his eyes and leaned against the windowsill to smoke, because someone called him, he looked back.

His short black hair was slightly messed up by the night wind, and his knife-like eyebrows revealed a fatal attraction in the scarlet smoke star.

It is said that the veteran actor Cheng Juan paid a very heavy price for that look.

That photo was taken seven or eight years ago. Today’s Gu Fan looks more introverted and colder than the photo.

He was wearing a baggy white sweater and light-colored jeans, which made him look much younger.

But there are too many years in his eyes, and his eyes are sharp when he looks at people. Even if he sits there without speaking, his presence cannot be ignored.

“Why did you bring it with you?”

This was the first sentence Gu Fan said to them.

He was sitting on a single sofa chair, and when he looked down, he saw the hemp ball that jumped out of the bag.

Ma Qiu still remembered the smell on Gu Fan’s body, and when he saw Gu Fan, he jumped into his arms shamelessly.

Gu Fan was still indifferent.

He frowned, and after a while, he reached out and smoothed the hair on the hemp ball.

In these short minutes, Ye Liuying understood why Zheng Manfei envied Ma Qiu.

“Uncle.” Zheng Manfei Xu was used to Gu Fan like this, and was not hit.

She followed suit and rushed to Gu Fan’s side like a hemp ball, “What kind of duck are you cooking for lunch? Is it okay for the three of us to eat hot pot?”

“No duck and no hot pot.”

The movements of Gu Fan’s hands stopped, and the hemp ball in his arms cried out in dissatisfaction.

“I’ll make the hot pot.”

Zheng Manfei said enthusiastically, “The hot pot base I created is excellent.”

In retrospect, Brahma ignored her.

Zheng Manfei pouted, but only focused his dissatisfied eyes on Ma Qiu.

She couldn’t help but pick Ma Qiu from Gu Fan’s arms, brushed her hair when she bent over, leaned forward and approached Gu Fan, “Uncle is very busy, you can play Ma Qiu by yourself.”

A sweet aroma penetrated into Gu Fan’s nose.

He frowned and stepped back slightly.

Zheng Manfei didn’t seem to notice Gu Fan’s movements.

Holding the hemp ball, she walked to the kitchen, “Uncle, what do you have in the refrigerator? Let me see. If it’s not enough, let’s go out and buy it together…”

“…” Ye Liuying, who watched the whole process, secretly gave Zheng Manfei a sympathy ticket.

She was in a complicated mood when Zheng Manfei interacted with one person and one cat, which made her feel distressed inexplicably.

An immortal character like Gu Fan is really not that impressive.

“Aren’t you afraid of cats?” Gu Fan’s cold voice brought Ye Liuying’s attention back.

She nodded slightly, then shook her head again, “Thanks to Feifei, it will be almost in a few days.”

Zheng Manfei’s royal cat skills are very good.

And she has not suffered too much psychological shadow, but she was afraid of being tossed by Grandma Ye’s cats and dogs in the countryside when she was a child.

Ma Qiu likes to be close to her very much, so cute.

Ye Liuying can now stay in the same space as Ma Qiu.

“How does Director Gu know that I’m afraid of cats?” Ye Liuying said tentatively.

Gu Fan doesn’t know if he thinks this question is a bit stupid and doesn’t really want to answer it.

After a while he frowned, and suddenly said a name—

“Shen Xingzhou.”

Was it actually Shen Xingzhou who told him?

Ye Liuying couldn’t help falling into silence.

She suddenly remembered the Samoyed called Ba Ye that Shen Xingzhou had raised.

Ye Liuying first heard the name because Xu Lu said that the eighth master slipped Shen Xingzhou’s vinyl record.

There is also Shen Xingzhou’s WeChat avatar with the Q version of the eight masters and robots.

She lived in the Peninsula Villa for a while, and she was too frightened to go out the first time she saw the eighth master.

Later, Shen Xingzhou heard about this, and it didn’t take long before she didn’t see the eighth master in the villa.

At first, she also thought that Shen Xingzhou still cared about her.

If it wasn’t for the person who was chasing him who had made his mind up on her, if it wasn’t for the fact that he kept her from filming again and again, if it wasn’t for the lack of communication between them during that time…

Maybe they won’t get to where they are now.

Ye Liuying looked up from her long memory.

A variety of emotions flashed through her frowning eyes.

Gu Fan saw it, and more and more affirmed his guess, “You are prejudiced against him.”

“Forget it.” Ye Liuying didn’t deny it, “It wasn’t because of love that we were together.

“But you were in love.”

Gu Fan said sharply.

When he rarely meddles with other people’s business, now he hopes that these two people won’t let him down too much.

The unrequited love is a reality and a pity.

Gu Fan doesn’t mind being alone, but occasionally he wants to see the excitement of other people.

“That’s really a pity.”

Although Ye Liuying said so, there was no regret on her face.

Gu Fan tugged at the corner of his lower lip, and began to expect that Shen Xingzhou would ask for nothing in the future.

Love really is synonymous with trouble.

He closed his eyes, and he could vaguely hear the clinking of the kitchen.

I’m afraid this kid doesn’t want to demolish his house, right?

Near noon, there is a strange smell of soup base in the air.

Ye Liuying couldn’t worry about Zheng Manfei, she glanced at Gu Fan who was sitting still, and walked over uneasy.

Although she is not good at cooking, she still has this sense of appreciation.

“Feifei, what kind of weird hot pot is this?” Ye Liuying wrinkled her pretty nose and pinched it with disgust.

You must know that she and Zheng Manfei have been with Zheng Manfei for so long, but she has never heard of her, the eldest young lady who does not touch the sun with her fingers, has lit up her cooking skills.

It is the only cake box Zheng Manfei has ever posted, all because he did not do it well, so he took other people’s pictures.

Although the hot pot base is simple, it may be a big challenge for Zheng Manfei.

“Don’t I want to make a mandarin duck pot?”

Zheng Manfei said to the two pots on the left and right on the electronic stove.

The hot pot on the left can be seen a little bit, but I just fry the chili and add some chili oil, which is barely okay.

The clear soup on the right is a bit indescribable, the color is red, red and yellow, and the meat on it has never been blanched.

“Then it’s better to eat spicy hot pot.” Ye Liuying decisively chose a relatively acceptable one.

“No.” Zheng Manfei refused without thinking, and said with a stern face, “Uncle can’t eat spicy food.”

have to.

Still a lover.

Ye Liuying thought for a while, and reached out to turn off the fire of the clear soup.

She fished out the spareribs inside, rinsed them and put them in a different pot.

“Huh? Ah Ying, don’t you know?” Zheng Manfei saw Ye Liuying’s appearance, and immediately turned into a small attendant, following her chatteringly.

“I can also cook a soup.” Ye Liuying is stronger than Zheng Manfei even if she doesn’t understand. Besides, she has been living in a condominium for a while, so she can’t order takeout, so she can only fiddle with some simple meals by herself.

She doesn’t have any talent in cooking, and she doesn’t have anything to do with hot dishes.

“I think it’s already great~” Zheng Manfei raised her hands, clapped her fingers to each other and applauded her, smiling cutely.

Just by looking at her face, Ye Liuying didn’t think that Zheng Manfei was three or four years older than herself.

Let’s say three or four years old…

“But if you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t even know that Director Gu doesn’t eat spicy food.” Ye Liuying put away the side dishes and seasonings, and put the lid on the pot.

“My uncle doesn’t like eating out, and he rarely uses his chopsticks every time he has a dinner together.”

Zheng Manfei said that Gu Fanlai’s ecstatic appearance could not be faked, as if he was the only person in the world, “So people outside really don’t know much about Uncle’s preferences.”

“Then he would be happy to eat the hot pot you made?” Ye Liuying glanced at the soup base on the pot.

Zheng Manfei was about to defrost the seafood. She gave a “uh” and said unsurely, “Should… yes?”

Speaking of which, Zheng Manfei and Gu Fan have eaten together as many times as they can count with both hands, and at least six of the nine times were because of Gu Shen.

Today was Zheng Manfei’s first time cooking for Gu Fan.

Well.

If that counts as cooking.

“Gu’s cooking skills should be very good?” Ye Liuying smiled reassuringly.

Seeing that Zheng Manfei had collected a lot of ingredients from the refrigerator, she raised her eyebrows and asked.

“It’s not bad.”

Zheng Manfei’s pouting mouth revealed a little dissatisfaction, “But he rarely cooks for others… It seems that only Wang Qianqiong has eaten the dishes he cooks.”

Ye Liuying was deeply impressed by the actress Wang Qianqiong.

Thinking of her unsatisfactory life after marrying into a wealthy family, she couldn’t help sighing in her heart.

“Meow~” Hemp ball got out of nowhere, grabbed something and threw it at Ye Liuying’s feet.

Then it bit Ye Liuying’s cotton slippers and brushed its presence.

Ye Liuying’s body was slightly stiff, and she looked down as naturally as possible.

After seeing what Ma Qiu pulled out, she couldn’t care less about being afraid.

Dark green soft fur small square box.

Ye Liuying’s eyes are very familiar.

She bent down and picked it up, but when she opened it, Shen Xingzhou’s tourbillon cufflinks were nowhere to be seen.

In its place is a black velvet ribbon.

The picture that popped up naturally in his mind made Ye Liuying’s cheeks warm.

Stinking rogue!
