I'm super delicate

This is an old house, probably older than Xi Changlin.

The blue bricks on the ground are turning black, the corners of the walls are peeling off their original color, and the furniture is also old-fashioned. The lacquered mahogany sofa is placed against the wall, and there is a piece of glass on the blue coffee table with several photos in it. There is a small bench next to the coffee table. On it is a dustpan woven from bamboo strips, which contains green beans.

He Chi and the wooden table where the chess board was placed were on the side close to the balcony. Looking over the stacked potted flowers on the guardrail, what he saw was the dark sky and the green hills hazy in the wind and rain.

The surprise in Xi Changlin's eyes was not unreal, his dark eyes widened, and the corners of his curved lips froze for a moment, but his smile deepened after blinking, he nodded towards He Chi, and said gently: "Hello, Mr. He, really Coincidentally, I met you here."

Mr. Xun asked Xi Changlin to go in without changing his shoes.The young man was not polite, put down the umbrella against the wall, turned around and closed the door.

"I didn't expect the old man to say that you are the student who will come today." He Chi said while sitting in the rattan chair, dropping a white coin.

"Well, because the next role is Yi Qingbo, who needs to use pseudonym skills, so I came here to ask Teacher Xun for advice." Xi Changlin said, and walked to the living room with Xun You.

The light was not clear, but Xi Changlin could still see clearly the photos pressed under the glass. Most of them were photos of Xun You and his friends of the same age, but one of them was He Chi and Xun You standing in Pinghai City Park when they were teenagers. Photo at the door.

The photo is old and yellowed. He Chi, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, is already tall, but he can still see his childishness. He hooked Xun You's shoulders, and made a scissors hand at the camera.

Some thoughts flashed in Xi Changlin's mind.

The reason why Jia Guoping was able to invite such a ventriloquist master to teach him in just half a day was probably because He Chi was behind the scenes, right?

But this time was the same as last time, He Chi didn't say anything, but it made it easy for people to deduce that the person behind it was him.

He Chi once again gave Xi Changlin the illusion that this person had a real crush on him.

The water in the kitchen began to boil, and there was a whirring sound. He Chi got up from behind the chessboard, loosened his wrists, tilted his head and smiled at Xi Changlin: "I'll make tea for you, just pretend that I don't exist during class." .”

Old Master Xun told He Chi where the tea leaves were, and immediately began to give lectures to Xi Changlin.

Traditional ventriloquism means that the ventriloquist uses the lips, tongue, throat, nose, etc. to imitate various sounds in nature, making people feel like they are on the scene. However, what Xi Changlin needs to learn is not so complicated, and he emphasizes quick learning, so the teaching method is relatively simple.

Xun You started with breathing methods, and then talked about vocal skills.His teaching is from top to bottom, first going through the whole, and then gradually subdividing it, focusing on the weak points, which is very suitable for Xi Changlin who has some foundation.

In about a quarter of an hour, He Chi brought out three cups of tea, all of which were purple sand teacups. They felt very textured and the temperature was just right.Xi Changlin's cup is Tieguanyin, the tea leaves have soaked and sank, the tea soup is cool and rich in aroma.

After thanking him, Xi Changlin accidentally glanced at Mr. Xun's cup and found that the cup was soaked in Longjing.

Longjing belongs to green tea.Xi Changlin has never been very fond of the taste of green tea, and mostly drinks oolong tea and black tea, but few people know this, not even Jia Guoping.

This unknown preference was clearly felt by He Chi, and Xi Changlin couldn't help but look up at him.

He Chi is wearing a blue and white striped shirt today. The cuffs are folded a few times, exposing a section of his wrist. He is wearing a quartz watch with a white background and khaki edges. It looks very casual.He sat at the position where he was playing chess just now, holding a teacup in one hand and a book with a red cover in the other, and raised his eyelids after feeling Xi Changlin's gaze.

"What's wrong?" He Chi asked silently.

Of course it was impossible for Xi Changlin to tell him what he was thinking.He turned his eyes, looked at Mr. Xun who was drinking tea, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Xun, can we turn on the light?"

"I'd have forgotten if you didn't mention it." Only then did Xun You realize that the light in the room was dim, and he put down his teacup and smiled apologetically at Xi Changlin, "I'm used to not turning on the lights at home during the day, no matter if it's cloudy or rainy."

Mr. Xun was about to get up, how could Xi Changlin let him go in person, so he immediately pushed him back on the sofa, walked quickly to the entrance and turned on the ceiling light in the living room.

He Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, put down his teacup, and turned over the book cover.

When I concentrate, time always passes quickly. The heavy rain outside the window has subsided, and it has passed in the afternoon.Mr. Xun is a very funny person. His teaching is not rigid, but lively and flexible. Xi Changlin not only learned the skills of voice, but also learned a lot about traditional history and culture.

At the end of the talk, the old man couldn't help feeling a little bit sad: "The ventriloquist is a very important intangible cultural heritage, but there are too few people who are willing to learn it now."

"If it is improved with trendy elements, the acceptance will be even higher," He Chi said on the balcony.

"Changing and changing, it's not something passed down by the ancestors." Xun You shook his head and got up, picked up the teapot to refill his cup, "I can't move, I can't move..."

Seeing helplessness in He Chi's eyes, Xi Changlin smiled consolingly, and then took out his phone.After turning off all notifications, he spent a rare and quiet afternoon, but when he saw the message from Jia Guoping, he couldn't help but opened his eyes in surprise.

— I just heard the news that too many people intend to invite you to be their spokesperson, let me go over to talk, so I can't come to pick you up.

Sent time was an hour ago.

Xi Chang Lin Xin said that their family only held the flagship conference a week ago, and the spokesperson for this year has already been decided, no matter how urgent you are, you can only sign for next year.

Too much is a first-tier car brand, and if you can become their spokesperson, it is basically not far from flying, which is gratifying news.But how could such a brand choose him?The strange feeling in Xi Changlin's heart was lingering, and he couldn't help but glance at He Chi again.This time the man was talking to Mr. Xun and didn't notice him.

But Xi Changlin can understand Jia Guoping's mentality.Jia Guoping brought a total of three artists, among whom Xi Changlin did well, which shows how miserable this manager is.Negotiating the contract earlier means that he can get the deposit earlier, and as a broker, he can also get the share faster.

Thinking of this, the young man suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"System, check to see if there has been a large amount of money in Jia Guoping's account during this period of time."

The system replied "Okay", and went right away.

There was another unread message on the screen, and the sender was Duan Xibo.

—I'm done with work, I'm here with you, what do you want to eat tonight?

Sent time was four 10 minutes ago.

After Xi Changlin replied to Jia Guoping's message, he rubbed his chin and stared at the message for a long time.

What to eat?Garlic eggplant, boiled pork slices, hot and sour sea bass, scallop and crayfish, etc. I really want to eat, but I don’t really want to eat with you.Xi Changlin thought casually in his heart, raised his eyelids and glanced at the sky outside.The dark clouds are no longer so thick, but the rain is dripping, and it is gray as far as the eye can see.

At this moment, He Chi came over and patted Xi Changlin on the shoulder: "Let's go, the old man doesn't keep food here."

The young man looked away from the balcony, smiled at He Chi, and said goodbye to Xun You.

"Your talent is very good. If you think more, you will definitely gain something." Xun You waved to him with a teacup in his hand, "See you in a few days."

"Goodbye, Teacher Xun." Xi Changlin smiled cutely.

The two left together, and Xi Changlin walked ahead with the long-handled umbrella he brought out from the company.The corridor was dark, the rain was rustling, and the wind blowing in was so cool that it made people feel chilly. Xi Changlin couldn't help shaking his neck.

"Cold?" He Chi asked in a low voice, and poked the young man's neck with his finger.

"Mr. He, you are going too far." Xi Changlin muttered, shrinking his neck and stepping up.Originally, he and He Chi were only separated by one flight of stairs, but with this step, he directly staggered by three or five steps and came to the flat floor.

He Chi smiled softly: "What's for dinner? I think it's getting colder these days, why not eat soup pot?"

"You want to invite me to dinner again..." Xi Changlin tilted his head slightly, looking at He Chi from the bottom up.He stood with the backlight, the umbrella in his hand sticking to the ground, the hem of his clothes and bangs were blown up by the wind blowing from outside, his face was a bit blurred, but his eyes were as clear as frost on a flower.

"If you feel sorry, you can treat me to dinner." He Chi walked down slowly, took the umbrella from Xi Changlin and opened it.

"You didn't bring an umbrella?" Xi Changlin couldn't help asking.

"Isn't this obvious?" He Chi asked back.

Xi Changlin reluctantly walked under the umbrella, and left the corridor with He Chi.

He Chi parked the car under the tree behind this building. The rain came suddenly, the roof of the car was covered with leaves and broken branches from the raindrops, and the body was covered in mud spots, making it look extremely miserable.

The big brother didn't care about his gaze, he sent Xi Changlin into the passenger seat, and then went around to the other side and opened the car door.

"What soup pot do you want to eat?" Xi Changlin fastened his seat belt and asked He Chi with his head tilted.

"Look at you." He Chi said.

The screen of the mobile phone Xi Changlin was holding suddenly lit up, and a message appeared silently.

—Duan Xibo: Have you finished class yet?Brother Jia said he was still talking about things, do you want me to pick you up?

The young man suddenly brought up a smile, "Why don't you eat seafood? I know a very good seafood barbecue restaurant."

While turning the steering wheel, He Chi replied, "I don't choose, you can navigate after you decide."

"It's my friend's shop, so it's safe in every sense." Xi Changlin made an OK gesture, "I'll tell him first and ask him to reserve a private room for us."

Xi Changlin called his friend, and after the location was sent, he connected to the car's Bluetooth to start navigation.This place is not far from his apartment, only one street away, and a 10-minute walk.

After the car drove for a certain distance, Xi Changlin replied to Duan Xibo leisurely.

—Brother, I'm sorry, I may come back very late, you should eat first.
