Chapter 40
Ren He's friend is called Zhuo Gaofeng, and his home is not far away, only 10 minutes by car.It's a nice community with beautiful landscape and well-organized management.When Jian Xiwen bought a house, he was instilled a lot of knowledge by Guan Jiamao. He estimated that the housing price in this area and this kind of community is not low.
When she walked into Ren He's friend's house, Jian Xiwen felt a little heartbroken.
I feel sorry for the houses that Ren He sold, and I feel sorry for the money that Ren He lost in doing business.
This is a big and new house, more than 140 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms.According to Zhuo Gaofeng, this house was designed and decorated by a designer after he got married last year, and he spent a lot of thought.The new house is indeed very warmly decorated, it looks like a wedding room at first glance, the warm-toned furniture is soft and comfortable, showing the care of the hostess and hostess.
"My wife likes this designer very much. How about it? When you want to decorate a house, I will recommend it to you." Zhuo Gaofeng said.
Jian Xiwen thought, it's still being renovated, not even a house.They also fight in fighting competitions. This Zhuo Gaofeng doesn't seem to be better than Ren He. He has such a beautiful new house, but Ren He has nothing.
He turned to look at Ren He, Ren He looked indifferent, and nodded to Zhuo Gaofeng with a smile.
Zhuo Gaofeng led them to the living room to sit down. His wife brought out two glasses of juice, put them in front of them, and said, "Are you hungry? Drink the juice first, and lunch will be ready soon."
She looked up at Jian Xiwen and was dumbfounded.
Before coming, Ren He told them in advance that for some reason, someone asked him to be the star Jane Xiwen's bodyguard for a period of time.He will bring Jian Xiwen over for dinner, and let the couple be mentally prepared, so don't be too surprised.
Zhuo Gaofeng didn't watch TV dramas and didn't know Jian Xiwen at all.Mrs. Zhuo's first reaction was, is there anyone in the entertainment industry with the same name as Jian Xiwen?It wasn't until she actually saw Jian Xiwen that she was sure that it was really that Jian Xiwen, not another Jian Xiwen.
Jian Xiwen tried her best to squeeze out the kindest smile and said, "Hello."
Because he was going to eat at Ren's friend's house, he was afraid of frightening others, so he was very restrained in dressing exaggeratedly today, just a creamy white sweater, ripped jeans and white sneakers.The hair was not scratched, and the bangs hung limply.
It looks like a male college student, small.
But still very good-looking, different from ordinary people, it is dazzlingly good-looking.He sat there as if glowing.
Mrs. Zhuo came back to her senses, smiled and sighed: "Hello. You are really good-looking, so handsome. You look better than on TV. My God, you are as delicate as a doll, and you are not as good-looking as a real person."
Zhuo Gaofeng: "..."
Mrs. Zhuo pushed him: "Hurry up and wash the vegetables, don't make the guests wait too long!"
Zhuo Gaofeng had no choice but to rush into the kitchen, Ren He stood up and said, "Let me help."
Jian Xiwen looked up at him, and Ren He pressed his shoulder, signaling him to wait in the living room.
Mrs. Zhuo sat down and chatted with him: "Ren He didn't say you would come earlier, but I did. I will cook something delicious. My husband likes to eat hot pot. He eats it every day during the Chinese New Year, and he also eats hot pot at noon. I don't know if you like it. Don’t like it? If you don’t like it, I’ll cook something else for you.”
Jian Xiwen smiled: "I like hot pot very much."
"Really? Don't you celebrities like to eat this kind of heavy oil and salty food? I'm afraid you won't eat it either."
Jian Xiwen shook her head, and said obediently: "It's because I don't dare to eat more, it's not that I don't like to eat."
Mrs. Zhuo took out her notebook and pen, and asked, "Can I ask you to sign it? My little cousin likes you very much and sends you messages in Moments every day."
Jian Xiwen took the pen and paper and asked, "What's her name?"
After asking her name, Jian Xiwen wrote down her New Year greetings.
Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly said, "Thank you, you are so kind!"
This sentence was heard by Ren He who came out with the dishes, and he glanced at them. Jian Xiwen took advantage of Mrs. Zhuo to collect the signatures, and winked at Ren He triumphantly.
Meaning, look how well I'm doing.
Things will be ready soon.
Zhuo Gaofeng came out with the bottom of the pot, plugged in the electricity, and turned on the induction cooker. After the soup boiled, the aroma of chili pepper filled the whole room.
When Jian Xiwen smelled it, he was so fragrant that he silently swallowed his saliva.
He hasn't eaten hot pot for half a year. For his skin and figure, he can insist on anything.
But already at someone's house, if you don't eat it, doesn't it seem particularly out of place?Ren He also told him to be good, alas, it's really hard to be a guest, let's eat, he promises to only eat a little.
Mrs. Zhuo invited everyone to sit at the dining table, but Jian Xiwen sat down and found that there was a bowl of vegetable salad on his seat.Ren He came over with a bowl of hot water, put it in front of him, and said, "If you are afraid of spicy food, you can drink it first before eating."
Mrs. Zhuo said embarrassedly: "Are you afraid of spicy food? What should I do then? How about I cook a bowl of noodles for you?"
Jian Xiwen shook her head: "I'm not afraid of spicy food."
Ren He waved his hand: "I made him a vegetable salad, it's fine, sister-in-law, you can sit down and eat. It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance, he can just eat the vegetable salad."
Zhuo Gaofeng glanced at Ren He and said, "Ren He just made it for you."
Jane Xiwen had no choice but to eat vegetable salad.
The last time it was finished, Jian Xiwen, who had been on a diet for two months, came back and had a hot pot meal.After eating, he said that he can only eat hot pot once in half a year, and the next time he eats it, he can only wait for the new drama to wrap up.
Ren He still remembered his words, so he made him a bowl of vegetable salad alone.
but……
Jian Xiwen ate grass without love, while watching Ren He next to him eating beef, pork belly, kidney, and shrimp...
After taking a bite, he gave Ren He a sad look.
Ren He finally found out, picked up meat and vegetables with serving chopsticks, put them in Jian Xiwen's bowl, and said, "Eat a little if you want, it's okay if it's Chinese New Year."
Jian Xiwen drooled while looking at the meat in the bowl: "But, but..."
Ren He moved the hot water in front of him, put the meat piece by piece through the water, and asked, "Is this all right?"
The desire to eat hot pot finally overcame reason, Jian Xiwen nodded again and again: "Yes!"
Throughout noon, Jian Xiwen acted as if he had no hands, and would only say "I want to eat beef", "I want to eat shrimp slippery", "I want to eat green vegetables", "I want to eat potatoes", and then Ren He would do his best to serve him with vegetables .
As for the bowl of vegetable salad that Jian Xiwen took two bites of, Ren He brought it directly in front of him and ate it up in a few bites.
Zhuo Gaofeng and Mrs. Zhuo looked at each other.
After eating, Zhuo Gaofeng and Ren He cleaned up the dishes, and Mrs. Zhuo and Jian Xiwen went to the living room to watch TV.
I don't know if it was Ren He who warned in advance, or Zhuo Gaofeng and his wife were very self-conscious. No one asked Jian Xiwen some difficult questions, such as whether your stars earn tens of millions from making a TV series, and who can play big names? .
After watching TV for a while, Mrs. Zhuo's cell phone rang, and she picked it up and talked for a while, as if a relative called to pay New Year's greetings, chatting about her own affairs.Mrs. Zhuo was talking, afraid of disturbing Jian Xiwen watching TV, she entered the room by herself.
The TV was boring, the traffic stars who sang on it all sang in lip-synch, and their dancing was not as good as Jian Xiwen's.As soon as Mrs. Zhuo entered the room, Jian Xiwen started to roll her eyes at the TV.
He looks towards the kitchen.
Zhuo Gaofeng followed Ren He into the kitchen, and there was no movement for a long time.Obviously just put the bowls in the dishwasher, but I don't know what the two of them are dawdling about. It takes so long to clean a stove?
The party on TV was so boring, Jian Xiwen stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen to see what Ren He was doing.
As soon as he approached the kitchen, he heard Zhuo Gaofeng talking softly with Ren He, and Jian Xiwen stopped immediately.
Keeping his voice down so carefully, he might be discussing something he didn't want him to hear.Hmph, how could he, Jian Xiwen, not eavesdrop?
While paying attention to Mrs. Zhuo's movement, Jian Xiwen raised her ears.
"You are already 34, the boss is not young, you have to hurry up!" Zhuo Gaofeng said in a tone of hatred, "How old were you when we played games together? When I first met you, you were only 23, okay?" Dude, maybe. It's been 11 years in a blink of an eye, and you guys are still alone."
Ren He remained silent.
"Let me tell you, this girl is very good. Your sister-in-law and her cousin's neighbor's daughter know everything, and you have nothing to say. You have to meet me at this time. At six o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, I will have a meal."
What?Blind date? !Jian Xiwen's eyes widened.
Ren He finally spoke: "How many times have I met, and every time I fail, don't worry about me."
Zhuo Gaofeng became anxious: "This blind date is the same as boxing. The more frustrated you become, the more you fight, the more courageous you get. Do you understand?"
Ren He laughed low: "Can that be the same?"
"Why is it different? Let me ask you, what's the matter with this celebrity? How are you doing well and running to be a bodyguard?" Zhuo Gaofeng asked.
Ren Hehui: "It's a long story, I owe someone a favor."
"I don't think that's the case?" Zhuo Gaofeng pointed out.
"Ok?"
"What's the relationship between us? How long has it been our custom to come to your brother Zhuo's house for dinner on the first day of the new year? You used to come alone, why did you bring him here this year?"
Jian Xiwen was stunned.
Ren He quickly replied: "He is busy with work and can't go home for the New Year. I saw him alone, so I brought him here."
Zhuo Gaofeng asked: "Eat as soon as you eat, you are busy all the time, what does it look like?"
Ren He was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhuo Gaofeng hated iron for being weak: "You are a big man, what do you look like for him to add vegetables to his boiled meat?! You picked up the leftover bowl of vegetables and ate them up! Brother Zhuo, you are missing a bowl! Food? Are you going to eat leftovers?"
Ren He: "...he doesn't know how to cook, so I'll help him do it."
"A six-year-old child can eat hot pot by himself. How old is he? He can't bring food by himself. Do you have to come? Huh? What is your relationship with him? You made it clear to me today."
The direction of this topic stunned Jian Xiwen, thinking, Ren He really likes me, even his friends can tell.
It took a while before I heard Ren He speak.
"No, brother Zhuo, he is just a kid, 12 years younger than me. I just take care of him, you think too much."
Jian Xiwen thought, just keep your mouth shut, hum.
Zhuo Gaofeng seemed to think the same as Jian Xiwen, and said, "Your sister-in-law and I both feel that something is wrong, Ren He, you have to think clearly. You have known this star not long ago, right? Let alone that he is so much younger than you, the two of you It is estimated that there is no common topic. People are talking about love and having fun, it is impossible to settle at such a young age. You can't delay any longer."
"No—" Ren He just denied it before being interrupted by Zhuo Gaofeng.
"I thought you were quite stable and reliable, but I didn't expect that you would be dazzled by beauty. We ordinary people, we still look for ordinary people to live. Stars in the entertainment industry are really not suitable for us. Anyway, you should think about it yourself. The day after tomorrow is to meet for dinner, and you are not asked to get engaged, why are you refusing? Since you said that you are not interested in that star, then you can't refuse to go on a blind date."
Zhuo Gaofeng said that Ren He had nothing to say, and the last sentence completely nailed Ren He to death.
"When your master left back then, the only thing I was worried about was your marriage. The old man told me to pay more attention to it, so I just take care of this nosy matter now."
As soon as the words came out, Ren He couldn't refuse.
"At six o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, the western restaurant on the third floor of the Jia Star Hotel has been booked for you."
Ren He finally said "um".
Jian Xiwen stood outside the kitchen and heard it clearly.
Well, dare to go on a blind date.
There was movement in the room, Mrs. Zhuo finished the phone call and was about to come out.
Jian Xiwen pretended nothing had happened, returned to the living room and sat down.I thought to myself, blind date?What kind of kiss?I want to see, who do you go on a blind date with, does she look as good as me, does her pheromone smell as good as me!
Both Ren He and Zhuo Gaofeng came out of the kitchen, Ren He still looked calm, as if nothing happened, as calm as if the person who was going on a blind date the day after tomorrow was not him.
Jian Xiwen secretly sent a message to Qiao Lan on her mobile phone.
[XX: The day after tomorrow at [-]:[-] pm, on the third floor of Jiashida, book a seat. 】
