Fog covered the windows, Xie Chaoyang opened the light-colored curtains with his hands, looked up, but couldn't see clearly what was going on outside.

Zai Zai raised his hand to press a string of transparent paw prints on it, and the mist condensed into water droplets, sliding down the smooth glass.

Xie Chao saw a string of big red velvet lanterns hanging in front of the door of the neighbor's house, floating in the wind, happily.

Zai Zai leaned on Xie Chao: "They are all playing cards downstairs, do you want to go?"

"No, I will definitely lose badly." Xie Chao flatly refused.His father is good at playing long cards, the older generation likes this, long and narrow cards, holding a pile of cards in his hand, does not take up space.

Xie Chaoke couldn't play against them, he could beat a good hand of cards, so the two siblings must have lost miserably.

He plucked Zai Zai's curly and slippery hair: "Come on, let's see how much Nora lost."

"Then I'll go to grandpa's place to rub some money, hehehe." Zai Zai took Xie Chao's hand and hurried downstairs.

Xie Chao walked slowly, he was a bit full from the sesame glutinous rice balls in the morning.As soon as he got to the stairs, he heard his dad playing cards bluffing, his eyes were beaming, and it looked like he was sure to win.

Zai Zai pouted, ran to Grandpa, took the opportunity to please: "Grandpa, how much money did you win today?"

Xie Guangping blew his beard, grabbed a handful of coins, and stuffed them into the front pocket of Zai Zai's clothes: "Take it to buy snacks."

Nora grabbed Xie Chao's life-saving straw: "Xie Chao, come here quickly, what will I do next?"

Neither she nor Arnault had a clue, and they hadn't won a game until now, but she and her brother played together, occupying one side of the square table.

Cheng Li'an said with a faint smile: "The three of you together, I guess you can't win."

"Xie Chao's card game stinks." Yang Li knocked her melon seeds and complained, "It's better to rely on yourself than you can rely on him."

Xie Chao calmly sat down beside Nora, gave some blind advice, and ran away after losing a game.

Zai Zai came to join in the fun: "Dad, why don't we go out and play."

Xie Chao thought so too, went to the refrigerator to pack up the frozen dumplings, and brought them to Angus on the way: "Today, let's see if there is a snack bar that just opened?"

Zai Zai naturally agreed.

Xie Chao called Angus to make an announcement, and then drove straight to his house.

Once at the door, Zai Zai ran straight out of the car and rang the doorbell. Angus came over to open the door. He was wearing an off-white home clothes, with soft chestnut hair fluffed on his head, bright starry eyes, and a charming voice: "So quick?"

Zai Zai nimbly bypassed him and rushed into the house, Xie Chao followed behind: "Well, I promised to come and deliver dumplings to you."

Angus reached out to take it, his lake blue eyes flickered: "Thank you."

Xie Chao pulled Zai Zai out of the house: "We're going to play casually on the street later, so we won't stay at your house."

"Wait a minute, let's go together, I'll change clothes first." Angus patted Zai Zai on the shoulder, "There is fruit on the small table, eat whatever you want."

Xie Chao finally entered the living room, ate two mouthfuls of sweet grapes, played with his mobile phone and waited for Angus to come downstairs.

Maggie is really a conscientious Filipino maid in the Filipino maid class, and quickly made scented tea to entertain the guests.

Xie Chao took two sips, and Angus was fine. He changed into a lead gray windbreaker with a preppy shirt underneath, looking young and full of vigor.When he smiled, his eyes were rippling, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

Zai Zai touched his curly hair and sighed: "I want straight hair too, curly hair is not good at all."

Angus rubbed the little curly hair that felt good to the touch: "Uncle thinks the curly hair of Zai Zai is very cute."

"I don't want to be cute." Zai Zai complained, "Curly hair is troublesome to manage, and it's not as good-looking as straight hair."

Xie Chaocai was not as patient as Angus, so he snorted and rubbed Zaizai's face: "What's so ugly? This is your grandmother's inheritance. You know, there are many people on the street who have curly hair, and the perm is not as good as yours. Naturally beautiful."

As a father, Xie Chao really likes the little curly hair of the child. Zai Zai’s curly hair is not the kind of dense curly hair, but rather fluffy big curly hair. ,Very cute.

Zai Zai picked up his curly hair and circled it twice: "It's just sometimes called instant noodles by others."

Xie Chao shut his mouth, he had said so before, and coughed dryly: "Don't worry, you are not as curly as instant noodles."

"It's so lively outside today. When I first came here, I saw activities going on in the square." Zai Zai didn't bother to worry about this, and began to think about where to play.

Xie Chao stood up: "It's Chinese New Year, there are many activities, these shops are not closed, model workers."

Driving all the way to the city center, Xie Chao couldn't even find a parking space.After finally waiting for a car owner to leave, he squeezed into the empty seat.

This year, everyone goes out for a walk during Chinese New Year. The sun is just right in the afternoon, and the air is warm and smoky.At the end of the quaint East Street is the Pedestrian Street. Standing on the side of the road and looking at it, it is full of crowded heads.

Xie Chao squeezed Zai Zai back and forth in the crowd, thinking it was boring.He bought three candied gourds from his aunt's grass handle by the roadside, and finally found an empty bench. He quickly stretched his long legs, took three steps at a time, and sat on it to rest his feet.

Zai Zai took a bite of the sweet and sour hawthorn: "The weather is fine today, so many people came out."

Xie Chao glanced around, and finally saw a coffee shop with a little less family on the opposite side, and hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of hawthorn: "Let's go over there and sit, so we don't crowd with everyone, I'm exhausted."

There are seats by the window on the second floor of the coffee shop, and the heating is fully turned on, making it much more comfortable than outside.

Xie Chao felt that his ears were finally cleared up, so he drank a big cup of milk coffee with candied haws, and his stomach became warmer afterward.

Zai Zai sat by the window, looking at the densely packed pedestrians on the street.

Xie Chao put most of his body weight on his son, and looked into the distance with empty eyes: "What are you looking at?"

"There's an old man begging over there, it looks so pitiful." Zai Zai said with his head.

Xie Chao reached into his pocket for the change: "Then go and donate some money from grandpa later."

Zai Zai hummed: "He looks so pitiful, he shouldn't be lying." The child's blue eyes were particularly innocent, full of trust in this world.

Xie Chao was stunned. The last time Zai Zai was cheated, he used a very common deception, or a moral kidnapping without reason.

There are often deaf-mute people on the street who grab someone at random, ask others to donate money, and even show their work permits. The children believe it naively.After Zai Zai gave the money, he saw this man again at the next intersection, and this man chatted happily with his companion.

Xie Chao put his arms around Zai Zai's small shoulders: "There are some obvious deceptions, we can't believe them. If you really feel that he is worthy of sympathy, then give some money." He sighed, "Daddy can't recognize it either. These, the formal donations of general school organizations are real, who knows about the kind on the street.”

Zai Zai nestled into Xie Chao's arms: "Father doesn't even know, and I don't even know."

Angus took a sip of the milk coffee, which was a bit sweet.He put down his glass and was just about to adjust the atmosphere when a surprised voice came: "Hi, Angus, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xie Chao raised his head and looked over, it turned out to be Handel, what a coincidence.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged woman with elegant eyebrows, and the ivory pearls on her earlobes shone lustrously under the warm light of the coffee shop.Handel introduced: "This is my wife."

The five people sat down at a table, and Handel said loudly, "I really didn't expect Mr. Xie to be here. I have been in touch with your manager for a long time."

Angus raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there any new show for Xie Chao?" He guessed it after hearing the voice.

Sure enough, Handel nodded and said, "Yes, I have a good script, and I really like Xie Chao, but they seem to be hesitant."

Handel's wife is graceful, like a noble lady in the Middle Ages. She teased her husband and said, "I came out to relax, but I actually started talking about work."

"I'm eager to meet you." Handel laughed and said, "Angus, it would be great if you could help me persuade your friend."

Angus paused, but he was a little interested. It stands to reason that Xie Chao and the team behind him shouldn't reject the olive branch offered by such a great director.He smiled and asked: "What kind of script is this, maybe Xie Chao is still thinking about it."

Handel said slowly: "Oh, this subject is indeed a bit sensitive, but the script is really good."

"What subject?" Angus was curious.

"Homosexual themes, with a little bit of war, as well as conflicts, exchanges, and collisions between cultures."

Xie Chao has never read the script, and only knows that the subject matter is biased, but now he became interested: "Culture and war?"

When Handel talked about his professional knowledge, he immediately eloquently said: "I want to find Xie Chao to play this foreign student. He is the freshest blood of this dynasty and has first-hand skills and knowledge. However, I met my favorite in a foreign country. People, but the country needs him, when emotions, responsibilities, and the country are all mixed together, this requires a choice."

He roughly outlined the outline of the script, "The filming period is estimated to be very long, but don't worry, the rewards will definitely be quite a lot."

Xie Chao played with Zai Zai's sensual paws and thought about it. This script sounds very complicated and challenging.

Handel said again: "I have found so many actors, but I still think you are the most suitable. The newcomers don't have the acting skills after precipitation, and the old actors are not suitable for their age. It's difficult!"

Xie Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was still a favorite, "Well, I want to read a script, okay?"

Handel was overjoyed: "Okay, I can send you the electronic manuscript now."

Angus knocked on the table: "I want to have a look too."

Handel glanced at him, this face was still as outstanding as when he first cooperated. Normal people will not forget this distinctive appearance with personal touch at the first glance, and with the growth of age, the temperament of the whole body is like The fermented wine is more mellow and intoxicating.

"No, no, your face is not suitable for another protagonist." Handel shook his head hurriedly. He would have been very happy if he was usually happy. Angus has become more and more difficult to invite over the years, but he doesn't want to ruin his own right now. good movie.

Angus frowned: "I haven't said that I want to act, how do you know I can't?"

He and Handel have known each other for many years, and there is no scruple in speaking, and they are not polite.

Handel took a sip of his coffee and said slowly: "Your face is too outstanding, it's really not suitable for you, it's too much for the show. I need to find a young man with a gentle temperament and a sense of old pedantry."

Angus chuckled: "Do you think I've been a fool in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I can't act like this?"

"That's not what I meant." Handel wiped his forehead, "Your face is so attractive, the audience will only want to see your face at that time."

Angus stared at Xie Chao's face suddenly, and asked Handel, "Then you think Xie Chao's face is ugly?"

Xie Chao innocently laid down the gun, and Zai Zai jumped out: "Who said, my dad is so handsome."

Handel comforted the child: "Your father is the most handsome." He then condemned Angus, "Why are you so aggressive, did you put chili in your coffee?"

He explained earnestly: "The role of Xie Chao needs to be handsome, and the other one needs to be more simple. Is it possible that you are still willing to play a supporting role now, and the other leading role is really not suitable for you."

Angus let go and said, "Okay, then I'll read the script."

Xie Chao listened confusedly: "Angus, do you also want to take this drama?"

Anger said calmly, "Yeah, it's kind of interesting." He glanced at the Handels from the corner of his eye, and swallowed his words.It's not that the script is interesting, but the people are interesting.

Handel wondered: "Although I haven't decided on the two protagonists yet, the male protagonist in my mind is really not like you, Angus."

"Oh." Angus replied indifferently.

Appearance has never been a stumbling block to his acting career. When it's time to put on makeup, change clothes, and get into the show, Handel won't say that.Even if it's not like me, it has to be like me.

Angus has always been very confident in comparison.The only one who was not confident was probably Xie Chao, his eyes dimmed and he stopped talking.

After talking about work for a while, Handel was urged to leave by his wife. He also got Xie Chao's verbal promise that if he wanted to play a role, he would be notified as soon as possible.

Xie Chao didn't expect to get a new job after going out to drink coffee, so he asked his son with a big face, "Your dad and I are the conscience of the industry, what do you think?"

Zai Zai "hummed": "The person who clearly agreed not to work this year broke the precept on the first day."

Xie Chao turned Zai Zai's small face, and kissed: "Isn't this an accident, Zai Zai is the most obedient, please understand your father."

Zai Zai picked at the small fresh floral cloth on the corner of the table: "Then this year I can only take this one."

Xie Chao smiled and nodded: "Sure, I won't pick up the rest, stay at home with Xiao Zai Zai."

Barely satisfied, Zai Zai hugged Xie Chao's arm and rubbed his arms, his long eyelashes fluttering.
