After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

The term "parents" is a bit unfamiliar to Xu Chen.

They are the top architectural designers second to none, and they are model couples in the eyes of others, but they have been absent from Xu Chen's growth all year round.

When he was young, seeing other children jumping happily into the arms of their parents who picked them up, Xu Chen was actually neither sad nor disappointed, but quite frightened.He thinks it must be because he is different from others, and he feels that he must be a person who will do great things in the future.

After all, the growth trajectories and stories of the protagonists in movies and TV shows seem to be like this.Maybe his mom and dad are the big hidden heroes running around saving the world.

But when he was in the second grade, he still beat up the child who laughed at him for not having parents. That was Xu Chen's first real fight.

Later, Xu Chen knew that there were no superhumans in this world, but he seemed to get used to it gradually, and felt that it was no big deal.

His grandma took good care of him, regardless of his unrestrained personality, and would send him to various performances in the Children's Palace according to his hobbies. His childhood was more free and casual than his peers.He also has many friends, and his grades have always been excellent. Except for being playful and noisy, he can basically find no faults. He has always been called "other people's child" by the adults.

The connection between Xu Chen and his parents lies in a regular phone call every Friday to report on his academic performance and recent performance, and then he can wait for exquisite and expensive gifts from time to time.

Then he grew up like this until the second year of high school, when he chose liberal arts in the division of arts and sciences.

For so many years, Xu Chen has made up his own mind. He has liked acting and wanted to act since he was a child. This choice is very normal for him.

At that time, there seemed to be such a phone call.Then he ran home excitedly, almost eager to wait, but what was waiting was denial and quarrel.

Soft pure music was playing in the nanny's car, Xu Chen blinked and exhaled, it was hard to describe his current feelings for a moment.

It's complicated, it's really complicated.

Suddenly he couldn't read the information in his hand anymore, he rubbed his browbones, and looked out of the window through the foggy glass window in a daze.

what about now?

If parents see him now, can they get a word of affirmation?

Yu Wenhao really feels that his boss is in a good mood recently and his work efficiency is particularly high.

There are especially many film and television projects this year. In addition, in order to completely correct the problems left by the former general manager Peng Weiguo, all departments need to roughly review the materials of previous years. The entire office building is busy, and everyone is racing against time. , walking in a hurry.

As the final decision-maker and reviewer of all project reports, Ji Fei is naturally under greater pressure. There are various materials to be handed in to his office every day, not to mention the emails and phone calls inviting him to discuss cooperation.Yu Wenhao alone had a record of transferring about [-] calls a day.

Having said that, Ji Fei is still calm and energetic, even after dealing with things, he can find time to learn how to cook.

For example, now, when Yu Wenhao walks into the office with the report in his arms, the first thing he sees is his boss wearing those thin-rimmed glasses and holding a pen in his hand. record writing on notebook.

He glanced at it—"Gourmet Recipes and How to Match Meals Nutritionally".

"......"

It seems that the previous "Breakfast Selection" has been read.

Yu Wenhao was silent for a few seconds, and waited until Ji Fei stopped writing and closed the book before he said, "Boss, the investment in the animation adaptation of Guoman mentioned earlier, this is the preliminary IP evaluation report."

Then it was a routine reminder of the remaining work arrangements: "You have a high-level meeting at four o'clock."

"Okay." Ji Fei nodded and reached out to take it, but his brows were still furrowed, as if he hadn't figured out something.

Yu Wenhao: "Boss, is there anything else I can do?"

Ji Fei pondered for a moment, took off his glasses slowly, and asked suddenly, "Do you know how to deodorize lamb chops?"

"......"

Yu Wenhao, who failed to answer the question, accompanied Ji Fei into the conference room, where several key project leaders sat around to discuss the budget allocation for next year's publicity and distribution.

At first, he was calm, but as he talked, he didn't know who lit the first barrel first, and two of the executives suddenly started arguing.

In fact, it can't be called noisy, after all, Ji Fei was still sitting calmly in the first place, so how could everyone dare to act like a shrew cursing the street.The two sides satirized each other with guns and sticks in their words, but they couldn't hit the pain point, so they argued for more than half an hour, and their faces were red and their necks were thick, but there was no result.

When the heat was in full swing, the pen in Ji Fei's hand suddenly tapped a few times on the table.

"........"

The entire conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the first seat in unison.

"Both projects have their merits." Ji Fei closed the project plan and said calmly, "I'll think about it when I get back tonight. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the two of you will come to my office alone for a meeting."

"Come here first today, the meeting is over."

All the participants, including Yu Wenhao, were a little bit unresponsive. After all, how serious Ji Fei was at work, everyone knew it in their hearts after this period of time.

In the past two weeks, there was a film and television project that had a problem with the theater schedule. He was able to stay with the project team in the office and discuss for a whole day. He didn't leave until everything was resolved before he left to work on other unfinished projects. Work, stayed in the office until nearly twelve o'clock that day.

This made it even more obvious that something was wrong with the current situation.

The two executives who were individually named to enter the office were even more trembling. They always felt that this might be a sign of something to be focused on. They panicked and asked quickly: "Mr. Ji, yes, is there any problem?"

"No." Ji Fei had already stood up and straightened his clothes, held the corner of his mouth and said, "Everyone, go home on time."

A fleeting smile made everyone in the room stunned. Even when Yu Wenhao packed up all the materials on the table and followed them out, everyone still couldn't recover.

"... President Ji just laughed, right?!"

"My God, today's meeting actually got a smile from Mr. Ji. How successful are we?"

"Is there something wrong with Ji always?"

"What?!" Someone said in surprise, "No way... Mr. Ji commutes to and from get off work on time every day, and works overtime every day. How can he have time?"

"Didn't you see the ring on his hand? It must have been there before..."

"Maybe it's just a decoration, love beauty or something."

"Mr. Ji has such a rigorous personality, how could he do this..."

Ji Fei didn't know the company employees were discussing with him later, he went back to the office to tidy up a bit, and then went straight out of the company.

Xu Chen was too busy a while ago. He flew to several cities to attend the show. He finally had no schedule tonight and could go home early. How could he sit still.

At exactly five o'clock, he asked the driver to turn to a nearby supermarket, stood in front of a wide variety of food cabinets, picked and picked for twenty minutes, went to the freezer to buy yogurt and fresh milk, and finally carried two bags full of them. The bag of ingredients went home.

It was already six o'clock when Xu Chen got home from the interview.

I don't know why, but today he seemed a little extra tired. He opened the door absent-mindedly, but in the next second, he froze at the entrance.

In the semi-open small kitchen, Ji Fei was wearing a gray plaid apron, white shirt and trousers, and stood with his back in front of the counter. Amidst the gurgling sound of boiling soup, there was bursts of delicious fish soup.

Sunlight at dusk slanted in from the side window, casting a light edge on Ji Fei's side.He carefully and attentively compared the recipes on the table, while stirring the soup spoon slightly.

Xu Chen just stood there, looking at the back of the person in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of stability like a migratory bird returning to its nest.

By the time he reacted again, he had already wrapped his arms around his waist from behind and hugged him.

Ji Fei was obviously a little frightened by him, but after a moment of rigidity, he immediately relaxed, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't even hear you coming back."

"It's because you are too serious about cooking." Xu Chen pressed his face against his back, and he could hear a steady and strong heartbeat.

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Ji Fei turned down the fire a little, "I bought a lot of things, you can pick and choose."

"I can do it." Xu Chen's voice was a little muffled.

Ji Fei: "Short ribs?"

Xu Chen: "You can do whatever you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Fei turned around suddenly, bowed his head and kissed his hair, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Although it didn't seem to be much different than usual, but he really knew Xu Chen too well, and he was too good at trying to figure out his emotions. He could sense that the other party had something on his mind within a few words.

Even Xu Chen himself hadn't reacted yet: "...Huh?"

"You can tell me anything." Ji Fei continued.

"......"

Hearing these words, Xu Chen's mood that had been chaotic for most of the day suddenly calmed down.

He couldn't understand why Ji Fei could tell something was wrong with him from just a few words, but at this moment he was so indulged in this kind of thoughtfulness and comfort.

The embrace was so warm, so warm that it drove away all the winter chills he brought from outside, so that he suddenly realized that everything was actually getting better.

I have taken every step and every step steadily, and now I have a small achievement about the dream of an actor who left everything behind and pursued hard. In fact, there is nothing to feel guilty about at all.

He can prove himself.

Xu's parents planned to arrive at Huacheng International Airport a week in advance. Xu Chen calculated the flight time around [-]:[-] pm and left the door about an hour and a half earlier.

There was a little drizzle in the sky, and he stopped at the last intersection out of the city, waiting for the red light to turn green.

Traffic jams are the easiest on rainy days, and the red light lasts for nearly 1 minute. The long traffic flow finally started. Xu Chen turned his body slightly and turned the steering wheel to the left. Suddenly there is a strange feeling.

——A few cars later, there was a gray van, which also turned with him.

Xu Chen felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen this car follow him in the same direction more than once.

In fact, gray vans are very common in Hwaseong City, and several of them may appear on a street at the same time.But coincidentally, this car looks old, but it has a very attractive bright yellow license plate. If you glance past it in a hurry, you may not be able to see the license plate number clearly, but you can remember this color combination.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and sat up straight, concentrating on the car in a strange way.

Sure enough, after the off-road vehicle turned at the next intersection, not long after, the gray van followed up quietly, keeping a close distance from him all the time.

strangeness.......

It was the first time for Xu Chen to encounter such a thing when he was so old.

Is it a coincidence?

The other party just happened to be going to the airport?

Xu Chen thought for a long time but couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation, so he simply ignored it.He calmed down the doubts in his heart, continued to drive for about 10 minutes, and finally arrived at the airport on time.

Although this was entirely his private itinerary, just to be on the safe side, Xu Chen wore a black baseball cap, pulled on the hood of the sweater, covered most of his face, and then opened the door to get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked to the sensor gate at the entrance of the airport, a group of people suddenly rushed up and surrounded him, holding up their mobile phones and calling his name excitedly.

In an instant, the attention of the people around was attracted.
