Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 258 The Only Answer

After returning home, Liu Xiaoli cooked a meal as usual, and Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli also had a tacit understanding of not talking about the birthday.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't know what would happen in a few days. She finished her meal as usual, and took Chu Xuan to the sofa to chat about her thoughts about "Xian".

Chu Xuan listened and smiled, but when he thought that it would be Concubine Liu Yi's birthday in a few days, thoughts raced in his mind.

The layout of the hotel lobby was watched by Liu Xiaoli, the layout of the hotel rooms was assisted by Cheng Hao and Su Chang, the process of the banquet was controlled by Wang Jinhua and the lobby manager, it was none of his business.

This was also deliberately done by the mother-in-law and Sister Hua, asking him to stay with Concubine Liu Yi these few days, so as not to let Concubine Liu Yi see the flaws, so as not to reduce the degree of surprise.

Since Concubine Liu Yi still doesn't know what's going on, it's better to keep her in the dark.

Under such circumstances, the surprise given to Concubine Liu Yi can also be maximized.

As the moon sinks and the sun rises, Concubine Liu Yi said some wonderful ideas from time to time in the office room of the company the next day, and she gestured with her hands while talking.

That delicate, cute and confident look made Chu Xuan smile.

Everyone who works hard for their career and dreams, regardless of age, is worthy of respect.

Concubine Liu Yi's attitude of devoting 100% of her mind to the script in the past few days also encouraged Zhao Jian, Huang Lei and other teachers to listen to it very seriously.

At this point, Concubine Liu Yi only felt a sense of accomplishment for a moment.

However, Chu Xuan was a little distracted when he was working. The idea of ​​the coming-of-age ceremony was his, the proposal of the banquet was also his, and the preparation for the surprise was also his.

It was the first time to do all kinds of things, and it was also the first time in his life that he had experienced such a thing.

The closer it was to the banquet, the more distracting his thoughts would be.

The Lord is next to him like a person who has nothing to do, but he, the person behind the scenes, is a little nervous.

"You're a little absent-minded today."

"Sister Hua and I are doing something very important, so we're a little distracted."

"Really? You usually take things very seriously. This is not like your style."

Concubine Liu Yi's suspicion made Chu Xuan dumbfounded.

What kind of experience is it like to lie to the person you know best and be suspected by her?
Like a stick in the throat, like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn on the back.

This feeling of "three likes" arose suddenly, and when Chu Xuan faced Concubine Liu Yi, he suddenly panicked a little, and it was also a little funny.

The most important thing is that he hasn't practiced his guitar for a while, and Liu Yifei's birthday is approaching, so he always thinks what if he messes up?
Will it be laughed at?
Will it be embarrassing?

The mentality suddenly collapsed a little.

In order to stabilize his mentality, he stayed with Concubine Liu Yi for another two days. After that, he decided to go to rehearse all night alone.

— August 8st.

At ten o'clock in the evening, under Liu Xiaoli's strict requirements, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi went back to their rooms.

After a while, Chu Xuan opened the door and peeped out. It was as dark as ink outside, and the light in the room cast a small fan-shaped light onto the floor and wall of the corridor.

Chu Xuan took advantage of the light to take a few glances out, but seeing no movement, he quietly walked out, and lightly knocked on Liu Xiaoli's door a few times.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli opened the door, and seeing Chu Xuan, she smiled and said, "I'm going to tell Qianqian."

"Then I'll take a step first." Chu Xuan whispered.

"What's wrong? Where are you going?" Liu Xiaoli was slightly puzzled.

"I'm going to live in a hotel today, and I'll direct the waiter's arrangement, and I'll also rehearse it along the way." Chu Xuan smiled slightly.

"Didn't you give it to Su Chang and the others?" Liu Xiaoli said softly.

"No, just give them a part." Chu Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli happily said: "You still hide from them, you have done a good job of keeping secrets, do you want to use a car?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, and said, "Ask someone from the company to pick him up."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, she glanced at the door of Cici's bedroom at the far end, and said with a smile in her eyes: "You go out first, I will go to her room and tell her, and she will definitely come to you after explaining the situation, but wait a minute Don't answer her phone, so she can't find you, and you will show up tomorrow night."

Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said with a smile on his face: "Auntie, your idea is very good, but if I don't answer her call, I'm afraid I will be beaten."

Liu Xiaoli waved her hands slightly, and said, "I'll help you, what are you afraid of, go quickly."

Chu Xuan nodded, turned and went back to the room.

Liu Xiaoli leaned against the door with her arms around her. Seeing her smiling, Chu Xuan changed his clothes, opened the door and came out, gave her an "OK" gesture, and walked briskly towards the door.

After a while, there was a "click" and a "bang" in the darkness, the sound was very small, but she could hear it clearly when she listened intently, but the daughter in the bedroom definitely didn't know .

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli let go of her embracing hands, went back to her room, took a document, walked out, and walked towards her daughter's bedroom.

In Concubine Liu Yi's bedroom, she was wearing black and white pajamas, lying on the bed and humming softly. The temperature in summer was warm, and she was not covered with a quilt.

Concubine Liu Yi's feet were gently swinging up and down, the script was placed on the pillow, and she was writing and drawing with a pen, deleting, deleting, and changing, just like a little artist.

Suddenly there were two slight knocks on the door. Concubine Liu Yi lay on the bed and turned her head to look. Liu Xiaoli opened the door and walked in.

"Mom." Concubine Liu Yi called out. Seeing that her mother was holding a document in her hand, she had some doubts and curiosity in her eyes.

Liu Xiaoli walked to the bed and sat down with a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi also sat up, and she glanced at the document, slightly stunned.

Artist contract?

What is mom doing with the contract this late at night?
She muttered inwardly.

However, in her sight, mother opened the contract, but pointed to the deadline.

She glanced at the date and frowned.

Due on August 8th?
She looked forward again and was momentarily stunned.

February 2005, 8?
Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, she quickly picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and opened it.

Today is August 2005, 8!
"My contract expires today!" Concubine Liu Yi said in surprise.

"No." She said again quickly, as if thinking of something.

The next moment, Concubine Liu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Tomorrow is my birthday!"

She fully reacted.

When you temporarily forget something and then suddenly remember it, people often feel a little incredible and very pleasantly surprised.

At this point, Concubine Liu Yi repeated to her mother: "Mom, tomorrow is my birthday!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled widely and looked at her daughter jokingly, thinking it was very interesting.

In the past, my daughter never forgot her birthday, but she forgot her birthday suddenly.

The production of "Zhu Xian" happened very miraculously, enough to make everything arranged by Chu Xuan even more surprising.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me!" Concubine Liu Yi frowned, holding her mother's hand, with a slight smile on her lips.

Tomorrow is your birthday?
How could I forget it myself?

Concubine Liu Yi pursed her lower lip. Perhaps she was too absorbed in working on the script of "Zhu Xian" with Chu Xuan these days. To be honest, she didn't even know what day of the week it was.

But, mom sure remembers her birthday!
Why didn't you tell her?

It's not in line with the style of mom who loves her so much.

has a problem!
Concubine Liu Yi looked at her mother with a smile on her face. She looked at the contract and remembered that her contract was due to expire today.

She suddenly grasped the point.

刘艺妃从妈妈手里拿过合同，她从床上站起来，又气又笑道：“为什么我的艺人合同是2005年8月24号到期？我是2004年12月份签的合同！哪有艺人合同期限连一年都不到的！”

With a deep smile on Liu Xiaoli's face, she looked at her daughter with great interest.

Concubine Liu Yi wrinkled her nose and said angrily, "Mom, why didn't you tell me! Chu Xuan and Sister Hua must know about it! Where is Chu Xuan? Let Boss Chu come over and explain to me!"

Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Xiaoli put her hands on the bed, bowed her head and was overjoyed.

Boss Chu?

He has run away.

Seeing her mother laughing non-stop, Concubine Liu Yi bent her legs and knelt down beside her mother, she put her arms around her mother and acted like a spoiled child, her pink lips parted slightly, but she said sullenly: "Mom, what are you hiding from me!"

She doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, and she also knows that there is no artist contract with a duration of less than one year. It's like a joke, but her contract is just like that.

But she knew that there was only one person who could do this to her, and that was Chu Xuan.

And why did you set your contract period on August 8th?
Concubine Liu Yi thought about this point, and she already had an answer in her heart, but she wanted to clarify the answer in her heart from her mother.

Liu Xiaoli put her arms around her daughter's waist, and said kindly, "You celebrated Chu Xuan's 20th birthday, and he said he would remember it forever. He didn't prepare well for your 17th birthday, and felt a little sorry for you. From that moment on, he has been thinking about your 18th birthday."

She smoothed her daughter's hair and continued: "For your 18th birthday, Chu Xuan has remembered it for a year. Since you signed the contract, he has been preparing for 9 months. If he told you in advance, what a surprise! It's all gone."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned and smiled softly.

She got away from her mother, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran outside in a "clack-clack".

She ran a few steps in the corridor, opened the door of Chu Xuan's room, and pressed the switch with a "snap". When the light came on, there was no one on the bed.

"Mom, where's Chu Xuan?" Concubine Liu Yi asked, turning her head to look at her mother.

"He just ran away." Liu Xiaoli folded her arms and said with a smile on her face.

"Run away?" Concubine Liu Yi smiled sweetly.

She closed the door of Chu Xuan's room, went back to her room, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside, and called Chu Xuan.

The phone rang for dozens of seconds, but no one answered.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoli covered her mouth at the door and suppressed a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at her mother, seeing her mother in such a state, she immediately thought of something.

"It was still there just now, but now people have run away."

"Is it true that you came, Mom, as soon as he left?"

"You guys have agreed to join forces to bully me, are you embarrassed!"

Concubine Liu Yi asked pitifully, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"You'll be able to see him tomorrow, and I'll tell you about tomorrow's procedure."

Liu Xiaoli came over.

Concubine Liu Yi sat on the bed and called Chu Xuan again in disbelief.

Tens of seconds later, still no one answered.

Concubine Liu Yi bit her pink lip, and threw her phone on the bed pretending to be annoyed.

She looked around and picked up a rag doll from the desk, a furry pink pig.

There are many dolls in her room, but Chu Xuan only likes this pig.

So she pulled the pig's ears and muttered a few words bitterly.

"Boss Chu, you can tamper with my contract and cheat me for nine months!"

"If there is no surprise tomorrow, then you are finished and I will tell you!"

Liu Xiaoli turned her head up and smiled happily.

She got on her daughter's bed, leaned against the back of the bed side by side with her daughter, and explained to her daughter what happened the next day.

Of course, she wouldn't say anything about the surprise Chu Xuan prepared.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was also rehearsing the surprise he had prepared.

--Shangri-La hotel.

Under Chu Xuan's guidance, a group of waiters moved the objects out of the elevator, and went in and out of each room on the floor. After a while, they moved the objects out of each room and took the elevator to the rooftop.

This was repeated several times, and at midnight, Chu Xuan called to stop, and the waiters stopped panting on the rooftop.

"Big brothers, please move back again. After you move back, everyone will leave. Thank you." On the rooftop, Chu Xuan said to the waiters, blowing the summer evening breeze.

Hearing this, the waiters breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chu, please feel free to call me if you need anything," said the head waiter.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard." Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

The waiters gradually dispersed, leaving Chu Xuan alone.

In addition to him, there are various props accompanying him.

The [-]-meter-high hotel roof, the endless and deep moonlit night.

Chu Xuan was holding a guitar, wandering here by himself, playing the guitar while singing the song he had prepared for Concubine Liu Yi.

The guitar sound is broken and messy at times, it sounds unprofessional, but it sounds with a different kind of emotion.

The singing voice is deep and steady, without technical vibrato or shifting, it sounds very flat, but maybe someone will be very moved if they understand it.

Singing can only be called Chu Xuan's hobby, and has absolutely no professional orientation, let alone the guitar, which he has no interest in at all.

Playing the guitar and singing alone on the rooftop late at night?
This is something he has never done.

It's something he never thought about before.

He also never imagined that in his own life, one day he would do a seemingly absurd thing for a girl.

If it was him in the past, he would refuse.

For him now, everything is because of love.

This was also the only answer in Chu Xuan's mind.

"Buzz." The strings of the guitar broke again, Chu Xuan frowned, and stopped plucking the strings.

I haven't played the guitar for a while, and my technique is a little rusty.

It seemed that he was destined to have no sleep this night.

However, he is not the only one who is sleepless, but also the girl who made him do this absurd thing.

—in the bedroom.

It was pitch black, with only a little bit of moonlight shining in from the balcony, shining at the end of the bed.

It was three or four in the morning.

Concubine Liu Yi was covered with a thin quilt, she was lying on the pillow, her eyes were open, and her smart eyes moved slightly, it seemed that she was not at peace now.

Ever since she learned about tomorrow's birthday from her mother at night, she couldn't sleep.

signing ceremony?

Coming of age?
Chu Xuan, Mom, Sister Hua, Chang Chang, Da Xinxin, Hao Sister, Tao Sister, Brother Zhang, Brother Lei... They know their birthdays, but they don't tell themselves, just to give themselves a surprise.

These days, she has been immersed in her own thinking, embellished with the unconstrained imagination that grew up with her when she was a child, and used her own shallow experience and the inspiration she got from communicating with Chu Xuan as inspiration to try to decorate her dream. Hope to construct a world.

Her mother's words suddenly woke her up, causing her eyes to jump out of her own world. She forgot her birthday for a moment, and smiled bitterly in her heart.

But suddenly look back.

She discovered that beyond the world, it is all about love.

And the source of this love comes from Chu Xuan.

"Brother Xuan." Concubine Liu Yi said softly towards the ceiling, her eyes rolled around, showing affection.

On the day of Chu Xuan's 20th birthday, she celebrated Chu Xuan's birthday alone.

On her 17th birthday, she still remembered how guilty Chu Xuan was for not being prepared.

She really didn't want any gift at that time, Chu Xuan was enough.

It's just that Chu Xuan has been thinking about her 18th birthday for a year and preparing for it for nine months.

What is it like for a boy to spend nine months creating a surprise for a girl?
A tear pierced the corner of her eye, Concubine Liu Yi wiped it with her hand, her eyes were full of smile and emotion.

She is not a person who loves to cry, but since meeting Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan has changed her.

Every time I cry, it is because of Chu Xuan.

This is true in the play, and it is also true in life.

But she knew that it was all because of love.

This is also the only answer in Concubine Liu Yi's heart.
