Find him in the crowd

The lobby manager found a good job for Xiang Sixi.

The hotel has a new business, and opened a villa area not far from the hotel, which is dedicated to serving those local tyrants who need to live in the local area for a long time, but don't want to live in a hotel.The villa is equipped with dedicated cleaning, security, driver, chef and housekeeper.The lobby manager found a good job for Xiang Sixi, which is to be a housekeeper in the villa area.

In fact, according to the standards for the career of a housekeeper, perhaps Xiang Sixi's job is not up to Xiang Sixi.But at that time, the concept of a butler had just emerged, and it was impossible to find a suitable person for a while, so I hurriedly found a few people from inside the hotel to take over.

"I can't do it. I haven't even been a waiter yet, so I can't do this." Xiang Sixi retreated after hearing this.

"It's not heavy work, and you are not asked to cook and sweep the floor. You are actually like a foreman, as long as you can take care of the cook and driver in the house. Besides, if there is anything you don't know, there is no pre-job What about training?" The lobby manager advised him, "I recommend you because you are young, well-qualified, and can speak English. Young people must be self-motivated, and you are satisfied with being a restaurant waiter?"

Xiang Sixi's English is limited to exams, and she is dumb English, her pronunciation is not standard, and she has an accent. She can barely handle some simple communication, but she is better than not at all.

The lobby manager saw that he was a little shaken, and added another weight, "and the salary is still high."

Xiang Sixi: "That's fine, I'll go."

An Mingye used his free time these few days to watch the movies written by Xiang Sixi one by one.He has lived abroad for a long time, and he often watches commercial blockbusters. Occasionally, he watches some award-winning literary films, and he often gets the "Best Film Award" or "Best Foreign Language Film Award". He has never paid attention to the "Best Screenplay Award".However, although Xiang Sixi wrote the screenplay, the whole film does not seem to have anything to do with him, and he is not the starring role, so it is really difficult to find some clues about Xiang Sixi from these movies.Besides, although they are all literary films, the styles are different each time.

In the movie, the hero’s forehead rests on the floor-to-ceiling glass, dark brown pupils, slender eyelashes, and tears that will not fall in the eye sockets. After washing over and over again, it becomes numb.The other half of the face hidden in the light and the inhuman loneliness gradually fade away with the camera.

Zhuo Zhuo put the finalized script in An Mingye's hand, An Mingye picked it up and flipped through a few pages, but still couldn't find any clues about Xiang Sixi, only the smell of ink came page by page. "Since it's decided, let's do it." As long as it's written by Xiang Sixi, it's fine.

Xiang Sixi was a little angry.

He currently has another drama on hand, and his contract with the company is about to expire, and he hasn't decided whether to renew the contract, so he doesn't plan to write a new script, which would take time and effort.When the other party asked for a script, he took out the previously shelved script.If the other party doesn't like it, that's fine, just push the matter to others.

But An Mingye actually said that he wanted to shoot.

Xiang Sixi felt a little guilty instead.That discarded script to fool people really broke my bottom line.

This script is called "Icing on the Blossom", which is the first time he created a script from the No.1 perspective, and it is also his first attempt to tell a story from a female perspective.The protagonist is an ordinary person who comes from an ordinary working family, graduated from an ordinary college, and has an ordinary job, ordinary friends, and an ordinary life, without even the slightest turmoil or surprise, and even ordinary troubles—no money, no boyfriend.But she has many unusual demands on herself, and these demands are even beyond her ability, so she is struggling in a predicament where she can't get what she wants, and her efforts are not rewarded, and her efforts have no results.All the possessions in her life are timely charcoal, and after the initial warmth, there is only scorching torment, as if what is burning is not the charcoal fire but her bones.Black and white, bland and uninteresting.Here, there is no icing on the cake.

This story is actually a bit pessimistic, and it may be a bit hypocritical in the eyes of optimistic people.The story as a whole is very flat, there is no explosive point, and it was shelved for a long time.At the beginning, Xiang Sixi wanted to express the helplessness of a mediocre person living in this world. As he wrote, he added some mockery to the society, and his hostility became heavier.After I finished writing, I realized that what I expressed was not clear.Therefore, this is not a script that satisfies him.Now that the management wants it, it still needs to be changed, and this time it will be released under its own name, so it can't smash the signboard.

"Xinghe wants to be the first sister of the company, from an idol to a powerful faction."

It was Xiang Sixi's director, Kong Yu, who spoke.In recent years, young directors who have been very popular in recent years have been nominated for major awards for their works. Although the actual number of awards is not many, his nominations are more popular than the award-winning ones. Fortunately, the standard is above the passing line, so it is not a waste Get a false name.Before seeing the script, the two were blowing each other's business.

Although Xiang Sixi and Xinghe have collaborated before and have a good relationship with some of their artists, but I really don't know which actor is going to transform.However, he has seen the first sister of Xinghe, her name is Bai Ruowei, she played some second female characters who steal the heroine's limelight in the early days, and after she became popular, she focused on leading heroine dramas and was criticized on the Internet. It's still Mary Sue, the audience's aesthetics is already tired-it's time for transformation.

"Icing on the Blossom" is the only female perspective in his recent script, which can not only consolidate her role as the leading heroine, but also change the previous impression of Mary Sue.Even accidentally used it.

Now that the female lead has been determined, the male lead and other characters will release news on the Internet, inviting actors to audition.With the fame of Kong Yu and Xiang Sixi, everyone who is a small flower and a small fresh meat fan will frantically recommend their own idols. It can first bring a wave of enthusiasm and use it as an early publicity.

After signing her own name on the contract, Xiang Sixi resigned herself to taking the script and went back to revise it, instantly feeling one head and two big.

Xiang Sixi and Kong Yu left together and were waiting for the elevator when An Mingye came.In order to ignore An Mingye naturally, Xiang Sixi had no choice but to talk to Kong Yu about the script.The elevator was halfway through, and there were other people coming up, so it was difficult to talk about the script.When there were more people, the elevator became quieter.An Mingye's breath fell on Xiang Sixi's ears one after another, and the pine aroma drifted over his nose, making Xiang Sixi seem to be frozen in place, staring at the numbers on the elevator screen and counting one by one, Can't wait to fall to the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Xiang Sixi couldn't wait to bid farewell to the two of them, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Before he reached the garage, he heard An Mingye's call behind him. "Xiang Sixi."

Really to die. "Boss An, is there anything else?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" An Mingye approached him, looking at him as if looking at his prey. "Are you afraid of me? Do you even dare to talk to me?"

Xiang Xixi took a step back, "I have never concealed my sexuality, nor have I concealed the existence of my boyfriend. People who know me probably know that I am in love. So I think it is necessary to keep a distance from other people of the same sex or even the opposite sex, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding."

An Mingye was taken aback.Then he smiled, and took a step back to widen the distance between them, "So? We can't even talk about the script this time, and talk about the follow-up cooperation."

Xiang Sixi "I have already discussed the script with Director Kong, and I will make some revisions. The current script is too pessimistic, and the concept is not clear. I will change it to a warm and healing style, which is easy to pass the review, and it is also convenient for the actors to create roles. As for the follow-up cooperation, you have to talk to my boss."

"Sixi, I didn't intend to disturb your life when I came back this time. If it's really inconvenient, then you can go."

An Mingye signaled him to do whatever he wanted, and Xiang Sixi was not too polite.

"See you."

Xiang Sixi also didn't understand, there was no deep hatred between An Mingye and An Mingye at the beginning, so why are they afraid to avoid it now.As soon as he thought of An Mingye, he immediately thought of Chu Zifan. It was as if he had betrayed Chu Zifan even though he had nothing.If An Mingye said to Xiang Sixi, "I came back to chase you, break up with him and stay with me." Then he really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Xiang Sixi feels like a scumbag who has a new love but can't forget the old love.

When he got home, as soon as Chu Zifan smelled the rice, he ran to the kitchen excitedly—four dishes and one soup, with a combination of meat and vegetables, the luxury of which was dozens of blocks away from curry rice.Xiang Sixi wore an apron from the supermarket, and came out with a meal, "Why are you standing there stupidly, go change your clothes. The food will get cold in a while."

Chu Zifan held Xiang Sixi's face in fear, and Xiang Sixi's delicate face was deformed due to the damage. "Are you leaving me? Could this be our last supper?!"

Xiang Sixi "...you are sick."

Chu Zifan said sadly, "Then what did you do to apologize to me!"

Xiang Sixi "You are sick!"

Chu Zifan said excitedly, "Then you are going to propose to me and hid the diamond ring in the meal!"

Xiang Sixi patted his hand away, "It's a beautiful idea! You gave me a diamond ring, it's almost the same."

Chu Zifan smeared a lot of saliva on Xiang Sixi's face, happily took 360-degree photos of the sumptuous dinner, and then posted it on Moments. The "dog lover" has thrown torches in his comments.

Have you been dating Chu Zifan for two years?Xiang Sixi silently counted in her heart...

It's been two years.

When Xiang Sixi met An Mingye for the first time, An Mingye had just returned from playing tennis in the backyard.Muscles after exercise stretched the originally loose T-shirt into a tight one, and there was still sweat hanging on his body, but when he got closer, there was no smell of sweat, but a light fragrance wafted out, which made Xiang Sixi couldn't help smoking more Two breaths.

"My name is Xiang Sixi, and I will be your housekeeper here from now on. Please give me your advice!" His voice was trembling, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at this man carefully.

An Mingye picked up the towel hanging on the back of the sofa to wipe his sweat, Xiang Sixi thought to himself, he should have handed the towel over by himself just now, why did he neglect it, he is always not good at observing words and expressions.

"It looks quite small, how big is it?" An Mingye's voice was deep and rich, which made people feel stressed, although there was a smile in his tone.

In order to work, Xixi falsely reported one year old. "Eighteen."

"The same age as flowers—isn't that a bad way to describe boys? I don't mean anything else, don't mind." There was still a smile in his tone, and his voice was nice. "Actually, I'm not used to having too many people around me in the house. I have hands and feet and I don't need anyone to serve tea and water. The chef or nanny tries to work when I'm not around. Don't go into the bedroom and study when I'm away. There is no need to clean it either. I don’t like ginger and garlic, I don’t eat offal, fish don’t have spines, and shrimp don’t have shells...don’t you remember it?”

Only then did Xiang Sixi come back to his senses, and took out his notebook and pen from his trouser pocket.Xiang Sixi made mistakes one after another when they met for the first time, which made Xiang Sixi very annoyed.

"Don't be too nervous." An Mingye patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Take it easy."

Xiang Sixi's 180 cm is not too low, but this man is a head taller than him.Xiang Sixi raised his head and finally saw An Mingye's face.After the exercise, the cheeks are flushed, the brow bone is high and the eye sockets are deep, the eyes are not big, but the shape is beautiful, and this face fits perfectly.Xiang Sixi thinks this man is really handsome.

"Put your luggage away first." An Mingye pointed to the overstuffed woven bag under Xiang Sixi's feet. "There should be a few vacant rooms on the first floor, you can choose whatever you want. It's still early, you can familiarize yourself with the environment first." Then he went upstairs and entered the bedroom.

The villa has three floors, the front is the garden, the back is the tennis court, the living area on the first and second floors, the third floor is occupied by the swimming pool, and the rest of the area has some fitness equipment. The garage is on the basement floor. Xiang Sixi couldn't tell the difference between his own car and all kinds of signs.

An Mingye gets up on time at seven o'clock in the morning, sometimes runs, sometimes swims, and sometimes plays tennis.Usually four to 10 minutes, Xiang Sixi will take the time to remind him.Then rest for 10 minutes, then wash, change clothes and go downstairs for breakfast.During breakfast, I will also read newspapers and magazines, which usually take three to ten minutes.After that, it takes about 10 minutes to go to work by car, and he will arrive at the company 10 minutes earlier.Xiang Sixi wrote all these down in his little book - An Mingye's schedule is his schedule.

In addition, there are the styles and colors of An Mingye's commonly used clothing. Under this category, it is subdivided into three categories: work, sports, and daily life.There is a special cloakroom next to An Mingye's bedroom, and it stands to reason that Xiang Sixi should match An Mingye with the clothes he needs according to his habits.However, Xiang Sixi didn't know anything about this. Ever since he put a bright red tie on An Mingye's black suit, An Mingye almost laughed out loud at that time - when the village got married, the grooms all wore it like this, it couldn't be more formal. There's nothing ridiculous about it.Although Xiang Sixi didn't understand what he was laughing at, she also knew that she must be stupid again, standing aside with a blushing face, the corners of the suit in her hands were crumpled.

"It's not your fault, it's my fault. There is such a bright tie." An Mingye's mother bought it for him.The old lady always said that he was dressed in black and lifeless, and gave him a whole red tie.At that time, he took it with trepidation, and then pressed the bottom of the box.It is also fate to be dug out by Xiang Sixi.

Since then, An Mingye has prepared clothes by himself.However, Xiang Sixi was very worried about this, and always felt that it was her negligence, so she began to record An Mingye's outfits every day, and even some accessories such as watches and cufflinks.Oh, by the way, there is also perfume, An Mingye likes pine fragrance.Xiang Sixi used to know that girls love to wear perfume, but this is the first time that a man can also like perfume so much, he even has sports perfume when he is exercising.One time when I went to the bedroom and saw three rows of perfume on his cabinet, Xiang Sixi realized that the smell on his body was different every day, even when he changed a suit of clothes and went to meet different people, the smell on his body would be different. all different.

Yesterday he asked the lobby manager specifically, and got a page full of perfume brands with pine notes, and he also thoughtfully marked it in Chinese.At two o'clock in the morning, Xiang Sixi got out of the bed in long johns, wrapped in a big padded jacket, and sat at the dining table waiting for instant noodles while writing down these brands in his notebook.

"What are you writing?"

As if someone had discovered his secret, Xiang Sixi reflexively stuffed the notebook into his bosom and covered it with a cotton jacket.

Familiar pine aroma.

An Mingye was wearing pajamas and a big nightgown over it. His sleeves were rolled up on his arms. His slender fingers tapped on the table. , the tone seems to be joking, but it cannot be refused.

It's over, and I'm going to be laughed at again.Xiang Sixi reluctantly took out his little notebook.Sure enough, An Mingye's laughter was summoned.

"That's why I didn't want to show it to you. I knew you were going to laugh at me." Xiang Sixi didn't know where he got the courage to speak to An Mingye like this.

An Mingye didn't care, "I'm sorry, but I'm not laughing at you, I just think you are cute. Really, Xiang Sixi, why are you so cute."

Xiang Sixi blushed even more.But I still said seriously, "Recording your living habits and matching them is my duty. This is my job."

The smile on An Mingye's face disappeared in an instant, and he returned the small book to him, saying seriously, "If you are so serious, you will become a good housekeeper, keep working hard."

Xiang Sixi was indulging in this sudden compliment, An Mingye opened the refrigerator to search. "What are you looking for? I'll find it for you."

An Mingye took out a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator, and took a packet of biscuits from the cabinet above his head. "I'm hungry, looking for something to eat."

Because it is stipulated that the leftover meals can no longer be eaten by the guests, in order to save ingredients, cooking is fixed and rationed. Xiang Sixi and the others will go to the special staff restaurant in the villa area for meals.There are only some fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, and these fruits and vegetables will be recycled to the staff canteen when fresh ingredients are delivered tomorrow morning.The yogurt and instant noodles were bought by Xiang Sixi, and the biscuits were brought by the nanny, Aunt Zheng.

"..." Xiang Sixi felt that maybe he needed to prepare some snacks, "Why don't you have some instant noodles..."

The noodles were a bit overcooked, the soup was about to be sucked dry, and the bowl of noodles was full, but this did not affect the aroma of the instant noodles that seduced An Mingye, making the yogurt and biscuits in his hand pale. "What did you put in your face, it smells so good."

"Chili sauce and kimchi made by my mother." Xiang Sixi re-made noodles for herself. "I brought it when I left home, and I just brought the last bit of instant noodles."

An Mingye took a big mouthful of noodles, without the slightest awareness of eating the only home flavor. "It seems that I was lucky and caught the last train."

Xiang Sixi was very happy, "If you like it, I will bring some more next time I go home."

"Okay. But such a delicious chili sauce is used to make noodles. Can you cook?"

Xiang Sixi shook his head, "...no"

In fact, he also made pimple soup and cooked noodles when he was at home.But a person as delicate as An Mingye would definitely not eat this kind of food, besides the earthen stove that his family has always used, he can't use the things in this kitchen.

An Mingye: "That's right, you should be the baby bump in your family at your age. It's strange that you can cook."

"I... I will learn how to cook with Master Liu tomorrow!" Xiang Sixi hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Why are you nervous, I don't blame you." An Mingye got up and poured two glasses of water over, "Who cooks better in your family?"

"Ah?" Xiang Sixi was still immersed in self-blame, unable to keep up with the speed of the topic change, "I...my mother."

An Mingye: "It's just the two of us here. It doesn't need to be so particular. Parents... don't need to be so formal, and it's not a TV show. I still call my dad an old man at home."

Xiang Sixi: "My dad is very serious. He always urges me to study hard. He either checks me to recite texts, or checks me to recite public announcements. I dare not call him an old man."

An Mingye: "Then are you obedient and study hard?"

"Yes. My grades have always been the first in the school!" When it comes to academic performance, Xiang Sixi's whole body seems to glow, and the smile on his face becomes more confident. "I was admitted to Yandu University. I was going to go to school, but my family has no money." When he talked about money, his light dimmed again. "So I want to work hard, earn enough money, and go to school."

This surprised An Mingye a little.An Mingye thought that he came out to work early to make money because his family was poor and did not go to school.

"Then you have to work hard. Earning tuition fees is not enough. There are many places to spend money in this city. By the way, if you graduate in the future, you can still come to my company and I will arrange a good job for you .”

"I will definitely work hard!" Xiang Sixi felt that the rest of her life had been arranged, that she would have no worries about food and clothing, and was well-off.

"You look really good-looking when you smile. Don't make the boss look like a kid pretending to be an adult but not like that - but that's pretty cute." An Mingye changed the subject again without warning.

Xiang Sixi also got used to it, and began to ask, "Don't always call me cute, that's a compliment to children, I'm eighteen."

"That's a child too."

"..."

"Stop teasing you, go to bed early after eating."

An Mingye poured out the leftover soup and went upstairs with water.

Xiang Sixi stood up, "Good night, Mr. An."

"OK, good night."
