Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 83: Long-term storage, surging like the sea

At 10:30 in the evening, everything was immersed in the moonlight of Guizhou.

Zhou Ye curled up beside the bay window of the third RV, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the curtain tassels.

Two cars away, she saw Jiang Qing leaning against the back of the car answering the phone. The moonlight cast his silhouette on the gauze curtain, making it look very long.

"If you keep looking, your eyes will pop out."

Yao Anna stuffed a cup of hot milk into her arms and joked with a smile.

"He's probably talking to Director Han about the script right now. I overheard a little bit before I came in."

She pinched two fingers and gestured.

Zhou Ye's face flushed, and he suddenly noticed that when Jiang Qing hung up the phone and turned around, there were several obvious wrinkles on the collar of his shirt.

Before Yao An could react, Zhou Ye had already walked out of the RV holding a steam iron.

Next to the RV, the blue light from the mobile phone screen illuminated Jiang Qing's surprised eyes. He looked at the iron in Zhou Ye's hand with a puzzled expression.

"collar."

Zhou Ye pointed at his collar. His long hair, which had not yet dried, fell down, covering his hot earlobes.

"Should I take it off for you then?"

Jiang Qing looked down at his collar and asked with a smile.

"Well, you should change your clothes first, and just give this to me."

The girl said with a serious expression.

"It smells a bit. I've been sweating a lot today."

"It's okay, give it to me."

"alright, please wait."

Seeing that the girl insisted, Jiang Qing didn't say anything more. He glanced at her red earlobe and turned back to the RV.

After a while, he changed into a round T-shirt and handed the shirt in his hand to her.

"Thank you, Director Zhou."

"How many names do I have?"

Zhou Ye gave him a reproachful look, took the shirt, and walked past him into the RV.

Jiang Qing looked at her back, raised his eyebrows, and a smile filled his eyes.

After three to five minutes, she came out.

"I've hung it up for you. Don't forget to hold it open after you wash it. It should be dry by tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you Director Zhou."

Looking at the serious expression on her face, Jiang Qing smiled and nodded.

"Stop yelling!"

Thinking of the joke made by the poverty alleviation director before, Zhou Ye couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

"that……"

Her expression suddenly became hesitant, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"how?"

Jiang Qing took a step forward and looked down at her.

Feeling him approaching, Zhou Ye's long eyelashes trembled, and when she raised her face, she met Jiang Qing's concerned eyes.

"I mean, that watch..."

Jiang Qing's expression relaxed, thinking that something else had happened.

"Keep it here with you."

Before the girl could finish, he interrupted with a smile.

Zhou Ye blinked his two distinct black and white eyes, looking confused at first, but the next second he seemed to be awakened, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Then...when will I return it to you?"

She kept tapping the ground with her toes, her hands tightly clasped together behind her back, and she was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.

"Ono."

Jiang Qing looked at her and called out softly.

"Ok?"

Zhou Ye looked up at him blankly.

"Is it possible for me to store it long-term?"

"How long will it last?"

"Maybe it will take a long, long time."

Facing Jiang Qing's gentle eyes, Zhou Ye's heart was instantly filled with sudden surprise, and his breathing became rapid.

She quickly adjusted herself, met his gaze, pursed her lips, and nodded heavily.

"Okay, it will be kept in good condition here!"

The girl promised with sparkling eyes.

"Well, I believe you."

Jiang Qing raised his hand and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears, and said softly.

Feeling his intimate gestures, Zhou Ye's body suddenly tensed up, then quickly relaxed. He couldn't help grinning, and his eyes narrowed into two slits.

"Silly."

Jiang Qing smiled and raised the corners of her mouth as well.

"You are stupid!"

"You silly."

"It's you!"

"It's you……"

In the blink of an eye, it seemed to have turned into a scene of elementary school students bickering.

From the car windows three cars away from them, Zhao Liying and the other two were watching this scene from afar.

"Love is indeed a magical thing. Otherwise, who would have thought that Mr. Jiang had such a side to him."

Zhang Bichen smacked her lips and sighed.

"Just don't get carried away. Who knows what's going on in the minds of people like these?"

A hint of sadness appeared on Li Xing's face.

"It's good to be sincere at the moment. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"

Zhao Liying lowered the curtains, turned around and chuckled.

"Too."

Li Xing and Zhang Bichen looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Liying, who just got divorced, obviously has more say on this matter.

The next day.

When the morning light just bit through the mist on the river surface, Jiang Qing had already tied up his running shoes and was ready to set off.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming's unique hearty laughter suddenly came from beside him.

"Mr. Jiang, please take me under your wing. My old arms and legs need to be touched by the youthful energy of a young entrepreneur."

Jiang Qing turned around to look at him who had already changed his clothes, smiled and nodded.

It’s nice to have someone running with you.

When egrets were startled by the reeds five kilometers away, Huang Xiaoming held his knees and gasped for breath, with beads of sweat dripping down his jawline to the ground.

Jiang Qing jogged back and looked at him with a smile.

"Where's the energy Brother Xiaoming had hanging on wires when he was filming The Return of the Condor Heroes?"

He threw the mineral water over with a smile, looking relaxed.

Huang Xiaoming's hands kept slipping as he was trying to unscrew the bottle cap, and he looked a little helpless.

"Don't even mention it. Back then, I could stay dry for three months for a role, even without any exercise..."

He paused, glanced at the camera behind them, and suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer. "Middle-age is inevitable! So you must cherish your youth, otherwise it will be too late to regret when you're my age, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, leaned back to distance himself from him, and nodded in agreement.

Of course he knows this, otherwise why would he insist on exercising every day?
When the two returned to the RV, Ning Jing was making coffee. She caught a glimpse of the two figures in the steam and deliberately raised her voice.

"Did our store manager Huang swim back and forth in the river?"

Huang Xiaoming looked embarrassed and grinned at Jiang Qing.

Tan Jianci leaned out of the RV with a messy hair, and the camera of his mobile phone accurately captured Huang Xiaoming's soaked back.

"Guys, you're witnessing history! Manager Huang got wet during his first morning run..."

"What are you talking about!"

Huang Xiaoming picked up a towel and pretended to hit someone, but his sweaty bangs stuck to his forehead, looking a bit funny.

Jiang Qing looked at this scene, smiled and shook his head, and took the iced Americano handed to him by Zhou Ye.

When he was in Taohuawu, although Zhou Ye rarely got up early, he knew Jiang Qing's habits.

Jiang Qing glanced at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a bright yellow floral dress today, with no makeup on. Her eyes were a little swollen, obviously she had just woken up.

"What's wrong? Is it ugly?"

Feeling Jiang Qing's gaze, Zhou Ye covered his face vigilantly and took a half step back.

"No, she's beautiful even without makeup."

Jiang Qing looked at her sensitive expression, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Fidelity."

"hey-hey……"

The girl then put down her hands, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Can I have some seafood risotto before I leave today?"

Jiang Qing suddenly spoke, staring at the girl in front of him expectantly.

"Of course, wait!"

Zhou Ye's expression suddenly became serious and he turned back to the RV.

Hurry up and put on your makeup, she wants to show off her learning results!
noon.

The moment the lid of the casserole was opened, the golden luster of the seafood risotto made Yao An squint his eyes.

Zhou Ye's fingers gripped the edge of his apron tightly, and he watched Jiang Qing scoop up the rice grains dotted with lobster meat with a nervous look on his face.

"The lobster that was blanched for 30 seconds is indeed very chewy."

Jiang Qing chewed twice, and before the girl could smile, he suddenly tapped her curled fingers with the spoon.

"But next time, don't break the shells with your hands."

Zhou Ye suddenly retracted his index finger that was covered with the Band-Aid and pursed his lips embarrassedly.

"I guess she didn't feel any pain at that time, don't you think, Ono?"

Yao An walked by leisurely and said something lightly.

"Sister Anna!"

Zhou Ye shouted at her with his ears red.

Jiang Qing watched the scene with a smile and put another spoonful into his mouth.

Can't waste it.

After lunch, Zhao Liying slowly pushed the chilled bayberries in front of Jiang Qing.

"Mr. Jiang, try it. Xiaoye specially used well water to calm it down."

Zhou Ye looked at Jiang Qing, then took the bayberry and lowered his head with his cheeks flushed.

"Is there white wine in the sauce?"

Jiang Qing suddenly raised his eyes, and the girl's stunned look was reflected in his pupils.

"It tastes better than what I make. It's amazing."

Zhou Ye's thoughts came back to him instantly, and he smiled with his eyes curved.

Ning Jing, who was not far away, bumped Huang Xiaoming's elbow, and they both smiled knowingly at the same time.

When the camera of the program crew swept over, Yao An was holding up his mobile phone to secretly take a picture of Zhou Ye's red earlobe. Tan Jianci and Ding Zhen were talking about something, and they turned their heads to look at Jiang Qing and the others from time to time, just like star-chasing girls who were shipping their couple.

When the cicadas were chirping at their loudest, the black car that came to pick up Jiang Qing rolled over the ground covered with gold fragments and stopped in front of the Chinese restaurant.

Zhou Ye stroked the watch on his wrist and said goodbye to Jiang Qing, Li Xing and others.

"Xiao Ye, I'm going to go check out the crew first. I guess I'll have to ask you for more advice on acting later."

"I hope Mr. Zhou will be willing to give me some advice when the time comes."

After greeting everyone, Jiang Qing walked up to Zhou Ye with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming smiled and asked everyone to go back to the restaurant first.

Although Zhou Ye was embarrassed, he didn't care about so much at this moment.

"No problem, Teacher Zhou is online all day."

She quickly collected herself and patted her chest at Jiang Qing with a smile.

"Well, I'll make you something delicious next time we meet."

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it!"

"Well, let's not talk about it for now, let's keep it mysterious. Then...goodbye."

"goodbye!"

Watching Jiang Qing get into the car, Zhou Ye subconsciously took a step forward, but stopped abruptly after coming to his senses.

It wasn't until Jiang Qing's figure waving at her through the car window became farther and farther away that she came to her senses.

Back at the restaurant, Zhao Liying suddenly walked up to her and gently tapped the note that had been stuck on her apron at some point.

There is a shell painted there.

Zhou Ye's eyes fixed, he took the note and held it in his hand, and found that there was a line of small words on the back of the note.

"Shell processing reminder, for Zhou Ye only."

The text was followed by a string of numbers. It was Jiang Qing's cell phone number, which she knew by heart.

Zhou Ye suddenly froze, staring blankly at the note in his hand.

The cicadas' chirping suddenly surged like the sea.

-

Nan'ao Island, the filming site of the movie "Four Seas".

"Cut! This one passes!"

"Everyone take a break."

As director Han Han's voice fell, the shoulders of Liu Haoran and Liu Haocun in front of the camera instantly slumped.

After each of them expressed their gratitude to the staff beside them, the two walked together to Han Han behind the monitor.

"Director Han, we're almost done filming our scenes here. When can Brother Xiao Ming come over?"

Liu Haoran sat down next to Han Han familiarly and asked.

Liu Haocun did not sit down, but stood aside gracefully with a faint smile on her face.

Han Han raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"Brother Xiao Ming is recording Chinese Restaurant and can't come due to tight schedule, but..."

He changed the subject and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"He introduced a friend here, and he should be here this afternoon."

"Brother Xiao Ming's friend has been very popular recently, so I'll leave you with a suspense."

Very popular recently?
Which big-name actor is it?
Liu Haocun and the other man looked at each other, both of them curious about the visitor.

Also, why does the director's expression look a little off?
