atypical package

Chapter 41

After rejecting Li Yanxi, Wei Jiawen felt a kind of revenge-like pleasure. Every cell in his body clamored for the excitement at the moment, but after the excitement, there was a long emptiness.

On weekdays, he ignored Li Yanxi's WeChat messages, and ignored those deliberate and hypocritical greetings.Sometimes he feels that he should delete this person completely, but this kind of thought is only for a moment, and after a moment, he faintly looks forward to it.

A few days later, He Manman sent a WeChat message, which was a PDF document, which described the process of the variety show.

He swiped up and down, glanced roughly, and felt agitated.He began to regret agreeing so easily.

He and He Manman are casual acquaintances, but they want to create an atmosphere of close relationship in the show. The director even specially noted that there must be casual physical contact and eye contact.

Those well-designed caring words and ambiguous words in black and white only made his scalp tingle. At this time, he was obviously Qiuhu, but he had a lot of goosebumps for no reason.

But things have come to this point, and they have already agreed to others, so they have to bite the bullet and do it.Wei Jiawen felt displeased and sent a few full stops.Afterwards, He Manman quickly received an aggrieved expression.

Wei Jiawen didn't care about it, instead he buckled his phone on the table, thinking in his heart, it's better to have less of these messy reality shows.

On Saturday, he arrived at He Manman's home in the high-end community as scheduled, walked to He Manman's door with a familiar look, and knocked on the door several times with "bang bang bang".

He Manman was just like what was said in the script, wearing delicate and unobtrusive nude makeup, wearing pink silk pajamas without a single wrinkle, rubbing his sleepy eyes, opening the door, showing a sweet and surprised expression.

Wei Jiawen smiled stiffly, and said his lines, "Manman, did you just wake up?"

He Manman stretched out her hand, slapped him on the shoulder reproachfully, and said with a pursed mouth, "You hate it."

Wei Jiawen smiled, it's quite fake, it must be more embarrassing than He Manman's acting in TV dramas, at least he thinks so.

Afterwards, he put on his slippers, went straight to the sofa in a very contrived manner, sat down, and said, "Go wash up first, I ordered delivery, and someone will bring vegetables and fish over in a while."

He Manman's face showed her classic "surprised" expression, and Wei Jiawen's voice was so nasty that Wei Jiawen didn't even want to listen, "Jiawen is so nice!"

Jiawen lowered his head, not wanting the camera to capture his embarrassing expression.

Ever since he co-founded the company with Wang Yijie, Wei Jiawen hasn't cooked in front of the camera for a long time. Today is the first time in half a year that it's not for his fans, but for He Manman's show.He just thought it was a little funny.

But after a while, the crew member pretending to be a delivery person rang the doorbell, while he pretended to be the protagonist and carried the pre-ordered dishes into the open kitchen.

He looked at the brand-new pots and pans, as well as the never-used oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, and he was filled with emotion.

Wei Jiawen wasn't even half-interested, he just felt that going together was extremely boring.He just wanted to get through the day quickly, go home and get a good night's sleep.So, without waiting for He Manman to come out, Wei Jiawen started working on his own.

He first washed the eggplant prepared by the program group, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a basin.Immediately afterwards, he found white vinegar and starch to powder the eggplant cubes.

He chopped the onion, ginger, garlic and red pepper into a small dish by himself, and added a few green peppercorns at the end.

The next step is to adjust the seasoning.Wei Jiawen stirred water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken essence, sugar and starch, and put it aside for later use.

Then turn on the stove and heat the pot. After the oil is heated, put the eggplants in the pot. After the eggplants are fried until golden, they skillfully remove the golden eggplants to control the oil.Immediately afterwards, he sautéed the prepared auxiliary ingredients until fragrant, added the sauce, and finally fried the fried eggplant in the pan, and a flavorful eggplant was ready to be cooked.

He glanced at the tightly closed door of He Manman's dressing room, feeling impatient, he didn't have a scene of co-cooking dishes with her as in the script, so he started to cook another dish.

He washed the potatoes, peeled them, and skillfully cut them into small pieces, then cleaned them in a basin, took them out and set them aside.

He Manman had finished grooming at some point, she stood quietly beside Wei Jiawen, and asked softly, "Why do you still need to wash?"

Wei Jiawen stepped back unconsciously when he heard the voice at first, and then glanced at her, only to see that she was wearing a vintage red dress and shiny pink high-heeled shoes, as if she was going to a banquet, not at home Have a light meal with friends.

Wei Jiawen frowned, and said, "Well, if...if you don't wash it, it will easily turn black."

He Manman didn't have such experience, and hearing what Wei Jiawen said was just talk on paper.She looked innocent, and she didn't know if she understood, but finally she just pouted and nodded.

Wei Jiawen didn't have time to take care of him, the movements of his hands didn't stop.He hangs a layer of starch on the potato pieces, then skillfully unscrews the stove, heats up the pan, and then puts oil in the hot pan. Put it in the pot, stir fry evenly and remove the potato pieces.

Then, he picked up the pot with one hand, arousing the amazement of the charming girl on the side. With exaggerated "wow", he controlled the excess oil, leaving the gradually discolored white sugar at the bottom of the pot, and then, He put the removed potatoes into the pan again, stir-fried them a few times, then removed them to a plate, and a plate of shredded potatoes was ready.

With no expression on his face, he brought two plates of dishes to the dining table, but when he turned around, he saw He Manman following him step by step.

He sighed and said, "Please take a bowl, pour mineral water in it, and bring two pairs of chopsticks."

He Manman just woke up from a dream and ran to get the bowls and chopsticks.

He Manman took the girly route. The director team asked Wei Jiawen to eat sweet and greasy food. Wei Jiawen didn't like it, so He Manman might not like it that much, not to mention how taboo female stars are to these high-sugar foods. It's not that he doesn't know.

He Manman picked up a piece of shredded potato and closed his eyes the moment he put it in his mouth. After chewing quickly, he opened a pair of bright eyes, showing a happy and joyful expression, and said in his mouth, "Jiawen, good job!" eat!"

Wei Jiawen didn't have any expression on his face, he smiled lightly, picked up a piece of eggplant, and put down his chopsticks.

He thought sarcastically that although He Manman's acting might not be professional, he was an actor after all, at least he didn't have time to stare at the camera.

The staff appeared at the right time, picked up the dishes on the plate, and when the camera cut back, there was nothing left.

Eating is not the end. According to the requirements in the process, the two of them still have to talk about everything from poetry to philosophy of life.Wei Jiawen only felt that it was extremely nonsense, but he didn't want to lose face, so he could only go along with it the whole time.

From noon to evening, after finishing the recording of the show with great difficulty, He Manman invited him out for dinner several times.He couldn't stand He Manman's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to agree.

He Manman didn't say where he was going, so he drove to the hot pot restaurant owned by Sun Rui.

Two years ago, Sun Rui completely gave up his boy group dream after going through countless auditions, and opened a hot pot restaurant with the money he earned from commercial performances over the years, and lived a mediocre life.

Wei Jiawen never thought of such an ending.

Back in the class, the one who wanted to be famous the most was Sun Rui.At the beginning, Sun Rui was full of passion and energy. As soon as he entered school, he looked around for opportunities and signed Dongyuan early.Obviously he was the one who worked hard the most, and he was the one who was most career-oriented, but he never expected that he was the one who quit first.

Sun Rui told him that it was this line of work that made him completely heartbroken. After many years of dreaming, he fell into this huge circle and couldn't even hear the sound. After so many years of hard work, he was desperate.

Although Wei Jiawen's career improved slightly at that time, he still couldn't take care of himself, so he had to watch helplessly as his brother became the owner of a hot pot restaurant.

Later, Wei Jiawen and Wang Yijie established Jiajie Company, and asked Sun Rui if he still wanted to make a song.Amidst the hot pot steam, Sun Rui shook his head while cooking the mutton, "Don't you think the entertainment industry is boring?"

Looking at the man in front of him, Wei Jiawen was filled with emotion.This man who once dreamed of being the center of attention has finally returned to the world.

Sun Rui didn't choose to be a vocal music teacher, and he didn't even want to hand over the dragon-slaying technique to future generations. He just wanted to stay away from all this flashy stuff.

Fortunately, that's not bad these days.

The hotpot restaurant was overcrowded and the business was booming. Sun Rui knew they were coming, so he specially arranged a private private room, and found a reliable waiter to cover them in, and entertained them carefully.

The fresh beef and mutton are cut into thin slices and neatly stacked on the plate. The vegetables are cleaned carefully, and the dipping sauce is fried by the head chef himself, which smells delicious.

Enough charcoal was added to the copper pot, and after a while there were bubbling bubbles in the pot. Wei Jiawen put the meat in the pot, took it out after a few seconds, and put it on He Manman's plate.

He Manman dipped in the sauce and tasted it, and praised repeatedly, "It's delicious!"

Wei Jiawen smiled lightly and said, "Eat more if it tastes good", but he himself only ate a few mouthfuls.

After eating, under the special cover of the waiter in the hot pot restaurant, the two of them got into the car. Wei Jiawen sent He Manman back first, and then dragged his tired body back home.

Wei Jiawen leaned against the elevator with half-closed eyes. At this moment, he was exhausted, but the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a man standing at the door of his house.

The expression on his face froze.I thought in my heart, why did everyone refuse to let him go today?

He sneered and asked, "Why? When will Mr. Li do this kind of thing blocking people's doors?"

He had no doubt that Li Yanxi would come to him.As long as Li Yanxi thinks about it, he has a thousand ways to get his address, and he can't hide it.

Li Yanxi walked towards him as if he hadn't heard his sarcastic words, then put his arms around Wei Jiawen's neck, and said softly, "Didn't you say that morning, whether I wanted to play with you or make a fool of you?" , do you do what I want?"

Wei Jiawen frowned, pulled off Li Yanxi's arm, laughed sarcastically, and said, "So, Mr. Li, do you want to play with me, or do you want to be a jerk?"

Li Yanxi lowered his head, laughed a few times to himself, and said, "I'm probably the one who is cheap."
