Golden Boy

Su Pei dragged his luggage back home, as if he had exhausted all his energy.

He felt that he was about to have a fever, so he fell headlong onto the sofa and lay down to rest.He was too lazy to unpack the suitcase, and he was too lazy to cook something for himself, the refrigerator was empty anyway.

He called his mother and told her that he had returned to Beijing, and he would pick up Cookie and go home on the weekend.

Little Cookie went to a private school with good conditions and was in the third grade.Boarding on weekdays, home on weekends.When he was working outside, Cookie lived at grandma's house.

Today is a working day, and Cookie still lives at school.

Su Pei suddenly changed from being too busy to being temporarily unemployed. The script that hadn't been revised completely had nothing to do with him.He lay on the sofa and planned to take a nap before getting up and tidying up his things.When he opened his eyes again, it was completely dark outside the window.

He slept for four or five hours, as if he made up for the sleep he owed during this time.

When it was almost seven o'clock, Su Pei took a shower and ordered a takeaway.Only 10 minutes later, someone rang the doorbell.

Su Pei was surprised if the delivery speed was too fast. As soon as he opened the door, he saw He Yiming standing outside the door.

"Why are you here!" Su Pei hastily stepped aside and let He Yiming in.

Su Pei had just taken a shower and had a good night's sleep again, and his complexion looked much better.The hair seems to still be steamed, and the hair hangs down randomly.

He Yiming wore a long black coat and carried two big bags.Su Pei recognized that it was a bag from an organic supermarket not far from their home.

"I'm off work, so I stopped by to see you." He Yiming put down his bag, took off his coat and hung it up, as if he was at his own home.

In fact, after Su Pei got married, he seldom came to Su Pei's house.But he has the ability to blend into the environment very quickly and dominate the scene.

"I'll put these things in the refrigerator first." He Yiming opened the bag.He bought eggs, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp, and a large piece of steak, which were all cleaned up and just waiting to be cooked.

He asked Su Pei to boil some water and heat up the pot.

Su Pei said: "Don't be too busy, I ordered takeaway, claypot rice. What else can I order? Barbecue? Mutton skewers?"

He Yiming didn't listen to him at all, saying: "I don't like to eat takeout, it's dirty and not nutritious."

Su Pei laughed: "Have you reached the age to pay attention to health preservation?"

He took out the frying pan clumsily and studied the red dot on it: "How do you judge the oil temperature?"

He Yiming glanced at him and said, "Forget it, stop wandering around the kitchen, it won't help you."

Su Pei was a little ashamed, he really didn't know how to cook.He can't do it, and neither can his ex-wife Shen Lan.Two people either don't eat or eat out.Although the kitchen at home is beautifully decorated, it has not been used a few times throughout the year, so it always looks clean.

He Yiming has already steamed the fish quickly and boiled the brine shrimp.I'm chopping vegetables and preparing to make a stir-fry with vegetables and fungus.

His fingers are slender and strong. Watching him cut vegetables is just like watching a chef chop vegetables on TV. It is a kind of visual enjoyment.

"I thought you would come tomorrow, so I didn't prepare anything." Although Su Pei had nothing to do with He Yiming, he still had to defend himself for his laziness.

He Yiming smiled with his nose: "I know."

He actually pushed a social event tonight.He originally thought that he could wait until tomorrow to meet Su Pei, but when he thought of Su Pei lying alone in the empty house tonight, he was thinking wildly.He was fidgeting like he was wearing a burly sweater.

Now that Su Pei was leaning against the kitchen door, watching him cooking and chatting with him, He Yiming's mood was much calmer.

Su Pei seemed to think of something suddenly: "That's right! I'll go and find out if there is any wine left."

In less than an hour, He Yiming prepared a sumptuous dinner.A steamed sea bass, a plate of brine shrimp, pan-fried chicken breast, stir-fried vegetables and fungus, okra stewed eggs, and the soup is pork ribs, corn and lotus root soup, which is still simmering slowly on the stove.

On the table, the dishes look attractive under the lights, with the sheen of real food.

Su Pei found two bottles of beer and took the cup.He poured the wine and said, "I didn't expect that after so many days, I finally had a home-cooked meal, and you cooked it for me... It seems that your craftsmanship hasn't lost at all."

When they were in college, they went out to have dinner parties and have barbecues. He Yiming's cooking skills were better than girls'.At that time, everyone joked that if He Yiming couldn't find a job, he could sell barbecue.

He Yiming said: "I like cooking. It can stimulate people's imagination and creativity, and the things I make are the most satisfying. But it still depends on the person. Not just anyone is worthy of my own cooking. of."

Su Pei handed him the wine: "It seems that I haven't been kicked out of this qualification by you yet."

He Yiming raised his wine glass, he remembered that Su Pei got angry when he quarreled with him before, and said angry words such as "not worthy of being friends".

He clinked glasses with Su Pei, looked deeply at Su Pei, and said, "You never have to worry about this."

The two chatted while eating.This time is when Su Pei likes He Yiming the most.At this moment, He Yiming showed his intelligence, ability, generosity, taking care of everything, and most importantly, he seemed to be in a very good mood.

He Yiming asked about the details of Su Pei leaving the crew of "Rongcheng Confidential".

Su Pei slowly explained everything, including how tense the crew was, Fang Ziling's manager's reaction, and Xiaoyan being suspected, so he found Fang Ziling's manager and quarreled with Fang Ziling .

He told He Yiming exactly.

After He Yiming finished listening, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How can you be sure that it wasn't your little assistant who leaked the secret?"

Su Pei said: "Because the evidence is too ridiculous, there is no real evidence at all. Fang Ziling was probably stimulated, and he had to catch a few traitors in the crew to vent his anger. In addition to Xiaoyan, a makeup artist was also driven away."

He Yiming said: "This matter is none of your business. Why are you disturbing the muddy water?"

Su Pei said: "I didn't expect Fang Ziling to lose her temper so much. In fact, after you came here, her attitude towards me has improved a lot."

He Yiming suddenly looked at him and asked, "Have you slept with her?"

Su Pei almost choked on the beer, he said: "How is it possible? Where are you thinking?" He didn't expect that He Yiming's brain circuit turned a few turns, and he actually thought of that direction.

He Yiming asked again: "Then have you slept with that little assistant?"

Su Pei felt the smell of alcohol coming up, and he said: "Don't say such things, it makes it look like a man is doing everything for sex."

Seeing Su Pei's reaction, He Yiming knew that he wasn't lying.He felt better.

Su Pei said: "After breaking up with Shen Lan, I didn't think about emotional matters. It's a waste of time and energy. It's fine to be alone now."

He turned the question to He Yiming: "What about you? Have you ever thought about finalizing it?"

He Yiming said: "No woman can make me settle down."

Su Pei shook his head with a smile and said, "I recently saw the scandal between you and Chen Xing."

He Yiming looked at him seriously, even if it was hopeless, he was trying to discern if there was a trace of sourness in Su Pei's teasing.

No, there is no sourness of temptation at all.Su Pei's face was flushed because of the heating, his eyes were bright, and there was only the most familiar smile among old friends.

He Yiming said: "I just met her twice. Her personality is just that of a little girl. The team is too hyped. I won't see her again."

Chen Xing is a very popular supermodel recently. She has a face the size of a palm and legs down to the neck, and she is on the catwalk for several big names.But He Yiming seems to be talking about a girl who is too ordinary.

Su Pei was not too surprised. In his opinion, He Yiming has always been like this, a prodigal player who despises marriage and insists on celibacy.

"But I'm really curious, what kind of girl will you really fall in love with in the end." Su Pei said.

"Must there be a true love?" He Yiming looked at Su Pei.

Su Pei said lazily: "It's not that... there must be true love. But I always feel that if you meet true love, it will be fanatical and unconditional. It can also be regarded as a life experience."

He Yiming said: "Really? I think my life experience is enough."

Su Pei supported his head, he nodded: "Yes..."

He seemed to understand what He Yiming was saying, but He Yiming knew that he didn't understand, and he didn't hope that Su Pei could understand.

He Yiming changed the subject: "Have you received the invitation for the school celebration?"

The anniversary of their alma mater is scheduled to be in early March next year. This time it is the centennial anniversary, so it will be very grand, and there will be many big names.

Su Pei nodded: "Got it. I have received several emails. You will definitely go there, right?"

He Yiming said: "Why did I have to go? I really don't have any good memories of that school except club activities."

Su Pei said: "If you put it this way, many alumni will not agree, and our school can be regarded as a famous school. Besides, wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, like a night walk in brocade clothes."

He Yiming said: "Are you going or not? If you go, I will go."

Su Pei hesitated for a moment. He still doesn't know where he will be next March, maybe which crew he will be in.But he still nodded and said, "Okay. Then let's go together."

After they ate, Su Pei washed the dishes.He Yiming told him: "There is still meat and shrimp in the refrigerator, and I will freeze them for you. I have saved a portion of the pork rib soup ingredients. You can directly put it in the pot and stew it for an hour to drink the soup."

Su Pei said, "That's great. I'll take the cookies home tomorrow night, and I can make them for her."

He Yiming was silent for a few seconds when he heard Su Pei mentioning his daughter. He asked, "How is Little Cookie? Are you still used to school?"

Su Pei said: "She's only in elementary school, and she hasn't reached the stage of rebellion yet. My mother said she was pretty good at school, but I still spend too little time with her..."

He said this, and the movements of washing the dishes were a little slower.

He Yiming immediately said: "After you and Shen Lan divorced, Little Cookie followed you, you have done enough. If you can be as cruel as Shen Lan..."

Su Pei interrupted him: "Don't say such things. No matter what kind of quarrel Shen Lan and I have about other things, we have discussed the matter of the little cookie."

He Yiming was brought back unpleasant memories.Su Pei was the first to get married among all her classmates. She got married as soon as she graduated and had children as soon as she got married.So he is only in his early thirties, and Cookie is already in elementary school.

When Su Pei told him that he was going to get married, He Yiming only asked "why".He didn't say anything after that because he had no objection.

Su Pei tidied up the kitchen, washed his hands, and put down his sleeves.He Yiming had no intention of leaving. He sat on the sofa and looked at Su Pei. Su Pei asked him, "Do you want to play cards? Or games?"

He Yiming said: "Have you forgotten? It was agreed last time. When we meet again, I will read the first draft of the new novel."

He had a "you can't escape today" look on his face.

Su Pei said: "I recently wondered if the beginning should be rewritten..."

He Yiming shook his head.

Su Pei said: "After the middle part, I don't know how to finish it, so there are only about [-] words."

He Yiming said, "I want to see it."

Su Pei had no choice but to go to the study to find the first draft that was printed out earlier. He himself had revised a lot on it, but he was busy with the script and threw it away.

When He Yiming got the first draft, he immediately read it attentively.

Su Pei was restless at the side. Although the TV was on, he couldn't watch it at all.

He saw that He Yiming quickly turned over the first page, and he couldn't help but said, "I should delete some paragraphs here."

"Hush," He Yiming signaled him to be quiet, "I'll talk about it after I've finished reading."

Su Pei remembered that the first reader of his first novel was also He Yiming.

The author has something to say: Mr. He: If you love a straight man, grab his stomach first. (Don't dare to catch other
