    Chapter 85 Chapter 85 “Bring me the soy sauce…

    “Bring me the soy sauce.”

    Shi’s mother was cooking with a spatula in full swing, while Shi’s father was helping beside her and hurriedly handed over the soy sauce bottle: “Here you go.When the stars come back in a while, you can tell him carefully that it’s Chinese New Year and don’t quarrel with your children again.”

    “Do you even need to say that?”Master’s mother was stir-frying the vegetables with an expressionless face. Master’s father saw that the stewed meat in the pot next to him was almost done, so he turned off the heat and took it out.

    Ever since Shi Xingze and his mother quarreled last time, I don’t know if Shi Xingze listened to his mother’s words about not going home, but Shi Xingze really never came back.If Shi’s father hadn’t called him and asked him to come back for the New Year, Shi Xingze probably wouldn’t have come back.

    Shi’s father sighed in his heart. Shi Xingze, a kid who seemed gentle and easy to talk to, could be very stubborn once he decided on something. Even when he entered the entertainment industry, no one tried to stop him.Now that he said that he fell in love with a man, Shi’s father felt that this matter was even more difficult to handle.

    But what can you do, as parents, as long as your children are happy.

    Although Shi Xingze has not come back during this period, he has been sending things to his home. Sometimes it is some home appliances, sometimes it is products from endorsed brands, snacks and some daily chemical products. Shi’s father can see that Shi Xingze still cares about them.

    In fact, Shi Xingze was not angry with Shi’s mother, but he didn’t want to separate from Jian Xingzhi, and he was afraid that Shi’s mother would bring up this matter again after he returned home and make both of them unhappy, so he never went back.

    Shi Xingze was still happy when he received the call from his father, so he agreed without hesitation.

    Originally, Jian Xingzhi wanted to invite him to celebrate the New Year at home, but Shi Xingze thought it was inappropriate no matter how much he thought about it, so he drove Jian Xingzhi back to his home: “Who wouldn’t stay with their family on New Year’s Eve? Be good and be obedient.”

    Jian Xingzhi regretfully went home to celebrate the New Year, and Shi Xingze also went home with two New Year gifts in his hands: “Dad, Mom, I’m back.”

    He put the things in the entrance hall, changed into slippers, washed his hands and went to the kitchen to serve food.

    The teacher’s father drove Shi Xingze out: “Go, go, don’t take my job.You have been busy for a year. Go sit in the living room and eat some fruit to cushion your stomach.Your mother bought a lot of fruits, which you like to eat.”

    Shi Xingze glanced at the cherries in the fruit plate in the living room, took two and walked to the kitchen, stuffed them into Shi’s mother’s mouth from behind, and then threw one into his own mouth: “Mom, the cherries you bought are so sweet.”

    Shi’s mother glared at him and bit the cherries in her mouth. How could she not know whether the cherries she bought were sweet or not?

    Shi’s father glanced at the cherries in Shi Xingze’s hand and said sourly: “Why are you feeding it to your mother? Dad doesn’t have any?”

    Shi Xingze took another cherry from the living room and stuffed it into his father’s mouth, and said with a smile: “You can’t eat too much fruit, be careful about your blood sugar, dad, you are still a doctor, you have no self-discipline.”

    “Doctors don’t heal themselves, you know.”Shi’s father muttered a few words and felt very proud while chewing the cherries fed by Shi Xingze.

    Today is New Year’s Eve, and the TV in the living room is turned on early. When the food is served, it is almost time for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

    Shi Xingze served the three of them food and then turned to take a look at this year’s opening dance. Dozens of dancers were wearing bright red skirts. Their movements were as neat as if the same person was dancing. After the dance ended, they slowly formed a cluster of red peonies. I don’t know how long it would take to rehearse such a delicate dance.

    Shi’s father glanced at the TV and said to Shi Xingze cheerfully: “Xingxing, when you were a kid, you said you wanted to be on TV. How are you doing now?”

    “Isn’t this what we are trying to do?When my movie is released next year, maybe I will have the opportunity to attend the Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year.Dad, don’t just talk about me. You will have to contribute a few movie tickets to me then, right?”Shi Xingze picked up a piece of meat and ate it slowly. Normally he wouldn’t dare to eat it.

    Shi’s mother glanced at Shi’s father and exposed him mercilessly: “When your movie comes out, your dad’s tail will be raised to the sky.After the idol drama you acted in finished airing, you had to sign up for a membership if you wanted to watch it. Your dad heard someone say that watching it a few more times would increase the number of views and attract the attention of investors, so he would just put his phone on there to listen to the drama.”

    Shi’s mother couldn’t stand it. There were several times when Shi’s father was playing the show on his mobile phone. In fact, he had been asleep for a while. She turned off the mobile phone and was not happy to say that she was still listening.

    Shi Xingze didn’t expect his father to be so concerned about his drama, but he might as well forget about his idol drama: “Why don’t you wait for my movie?I’m afraid you won’t be used to watching idol dramas.But I have a web series coming up next year, which is a bit suspenseful.”

    Shi’s mother’s expression softened a lot, and she took the initiative to give Shi Xingze a piece of pork ribs: “Eat more during the Chinese New Year, otherwise you won’t be able to eat until you start filming.You and your dad are all carnivores in our family.”

    “Hey, that’s what I planned.”Shi Xingze said he wanted to eat more, but he actually only ate one bowl. He spent the rest of the time picking up seafood that didn’t take up much of his stomach, such as shrimps and crabs, and ate it slowly. He wasn’t very fat either.

    The family ate slowly and watched TV. Shi Xingze pointed to the singing Xun Xianghua on the TV and said: “Mr. Xun is a very nice person. He took good care of me when we were filming together and taught me a lot of filming skills. I didn’t expect that Mr. Xun can sing so well.””

    He doesn’t know many actors, and even fewer of them can be seen on television.Shi Xingze was a little yearning in his heart. If he had the chance, he would also like to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

    Master Shi’s father was amused by the skit on TV. From the corner of his eye, he saw Master Shi’s mother hesitate to speak. He coughed lightly and touched her elbow quietly: “This skit is quite funny, don’t you think?”

    “What’s so funny? I often hear students say those words on TV, but they all learned them from the Internet.”Master’s mother pushed up her glasses, feeling a little strange about Master’s father’s reaction.

    Jian Xingzhi sent him a New Year’s greeting. Shi Xingze’s phone vibrated. He saw it now. He smiled and replied a few words before putting the phone down, only to find that Shi’s mother glanced at him.

    Shi Xingze knew that his mother was upset and just used the sketch to vent her anger.

    Shi Xingze sighed and said to Shi’s mother: “Mom, it’s Chinese New Year, don’t be angry.”

    Teacher’s mother kept a straight face and said nothing, as if she hadn’t heard anything, and said to herself: “Is it that man who sent the message again?”

    Shi Xingze checked his phone several times today, but he was the only one who smiled so happily just now, and happiness was about to overflow from the corners of his eyes. Apart from that man, Shi’s mother could not think of anyone else.

    “Well, Xingzhi wishes you a Happy New Year, let me paraphrase it for you.”Shi Xingze did not shy away from mentioning Jian Xingzhi’s name and said it openly.

    The teacher’s mother snorted coldly: “He is so rich, what kind of person does he want that he can’t find?It’s a fresh idea now, but if he gets tired of it later and leaves, what will you do? What do you want us to do?”

    The smile on Shi Xingze’s face faded a little: “I know there is a gap between us, so I am working hard.Even if we are separated in the future, I don’t want to deny that I want to be with him now.Mom, there are many married people and divorced people. I will take care of myself.”

    “Speak nicely.”Master’s mother’s voice was trembling, but she tried hard to restrain herself, waved her hand and said, “I don’t want to talk to you today, let’s watch TV.”

    Shi Xingze sighed in his heart, and the family continued to watch TV, but the happy atmosphere was much lighter.

    He watched TV absentmindedly, picked up his cell phone and grabbed red envelopes in several crew and family groups. After grabbing them, he didn’t forget to send a few himself to participate in this activity. Anyway, everyone was not short of the red envelope money, just to celebrate.

    Ji Chunxia: After grabbing five yuan, it seems that my luck lies in my career.

    Director Ye: Haha, one hundred and seventy yuan, who can be luckier than me?

    Shi Xingze: I only have one dollar.[Wow.jpg]

    Jian Xingzhi: I have sent a new one, grab it quickly.

    Huh?

    He didn’t notice when Jian Xingzhi joined the group.

    A wave of red envelopes immediately rained down in the group, all from Jian Xingzhi. The rest of the crew couldn’t keep up with their hand speed, and they all said that the boss was very generous.

    Shi Xingze also joined in. With so many red envelopes thrown down, he would always get a big one in his hand.He also followed the troops and said something boss-like with a smile. The next moment, Jian Xingzhi’s message came over: Are you watching the gala?

    Shi Xingze took a photo in front of the TV and sent it: Well, is it the same at your home?

    Jian Xingzhi also took a photo of the living room at home: Yes, but Jian Lezhi said it was boring and ran to play games.

    Shi Xingze and the others were waiting for the zero o’clock countdown. He had no interest in singing and dancing and basically only watched sketches throughout the whole process.During the New Year’s Eve, he was filming on the set, and now he was at home with his family. To be honest, he had not spent a single New Year’s Eve with Jian Xingzhi, and he felt a little regretful thinking about it.

    He looked up and looked out the window. Some impatient adults and children had already set off fireworks in advance, and the sound of fireworks sounded intermittently.

    If only Jian Xing was there.

    The host on TV counted down excitedly:

    “Okay, now let’s count down the last five numbers and welcome the new year!”

    “five!”

    “Four!”

    “three!”

    “two!”

    “one!Happy New Year!”

    “Dad, Mom, Happy New Year.”Shi Xingze hugged his father and mother sideways, and then he took the time to send New Year’s greetings to Jian Xingzhi, but Jian Xingzhi didn’t reply to him for a long time.

    Forget it, Jian Xingzhi must be spending time with his family just like him.

    Fireworks exploded outside the window. Shi Xingze was just about to get up when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Jian Xingzhi.

    To put it simply: It’s probably inconvenient for you to answer the phone and look out the window and downstairs.

    As if he realized something, Shi Xingze rushed to the window, opened it and looked outside. He lowered his head and saw Jian Xingzhi smiling and waving to him. The next second, several fireworks shot up into the air.Jian Xingzhi took out his mobile phone. Shi Xingze looked down at the mobile phone after seeing it. Jian Xingzhi asked him not to go down. It was enough to see the fireworks he set off.

    “Is anyone setting off fireworks?”

    The teacher’s father saw Shi Xingze standing by the window for a long time but couldn’t come over. Just as he was about to come over to see what was going on, he saw Shi Xingze picking up his coat and running downstairs. The teacher’s father shouted to him in a hurry: “You can’t do anything with just this kind of clothes. It’s cold outside, what are you doing out there?””

    Teacher’s mother finally couldn’t help but stood up: “Do you have to go?”

    Shi Xingze stood at the gate, stamping his feet to wake up the sensor lights in the building, and the dark corridor was illuminated in an instant.He looked at his teacher’s mother firmly and said, “Yes, I must go.”

    After saying that, he rushed downstairs and rushed to the figure next to the fireworks.

    The master’s father stood by the window, probably guessing who the visitor was, and looked down at the two people downstairs.

    The man seemed a little surprised to see Shi Xingze coming downstairs. Then he touched Shi Xingze’s face, took off his scarf and wrapped it around their son’s neck, looking very distressed, before holding him in his arms.

    “Alas.”

    Master’s father sighed, and Master’s mother came over at some point.The master’s father pointed at his son downstairs and said with some emotion: “The child has grown up and has his own ideas.”

    Shi’s mother looked at the beaming Shi Xingze below, and finally sighed heavily with trembling lips: “Alas!”

    What can she do? Just like she can’t stop Shi Xingze from entering the entertainment industry, now she can’t stop Shi Xingze from liking anyone.At worst, she and the child’s father should work harder. If the child gets sad, they will still have a family at least.
