The Eye of the Storm

Liang Sizhe took out the key to unlock the lock, and the two entered the room. Cao Ye sat on the edge of the bed by the window and looked at Liang Sizhe. His forehead was sweating, and the setting sun shining directly into the room made him look bright.He resorted to the trick of pretending to be obedient again, looking like a harmless boy: "Brother, when my dad arrives later, you can help me out, don't say that I'm not here for a few days."

There was something alive about him, so alive that his presence in this room seemed to alter the composition of the air.

Liang Sizhe couldn't tell what had become of it. He thought it might be because he had lived alone for a long time, so he was not used to being in the same room with others.

But it doesn't seem appropriate to say that it doesn't fit.Cao Ye's fresh energy was hard to dislike, even if he answered such a prank phone call that night.

Liang Sizhe stood the guitar against the wall, looked up at him and asked, "Did you find someone to sleep with after that night?"

"Ah?" Cao Ye had already forgotten that, but when Liang Sizhe mentioned it, he remembered it again, and said with embarrassment, "My friend is messing around, don't listen to his nonsense."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, Cao Ye immediately fell silent, put his hands together in front of his chest, and made a "please" gesture to Liang Sizhe with a tangled expression.

Liang Sizhe went to open the door, Cao Xiuyuan stood outside the door, followed by Zheng Yin.

He opened the door wider and called out "Director Cao".

Cao Xiuyuan looked obviously unhappy, although he always looked serious, but compared to the night at Liang Sizhe's house, this time he was obviously a little angry.

Zheng Yin followed behind to say good things for Cao Ye: "I'll just say Xiao Ye stay here obediently, they must have misunderstood..." As he spoke, he secretly winked at Cao Ye who was sitting by the bed, "Xiaoye, tell your father yourself, what have you been doing these few nights?"

Cao Ye cooperated with him, pretending to be innocent and said, "I haven't gone anywhere, I've been staying here..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Xiuyuan suddenly spoke like a thunderbolt, and interrupted him sharply: "If you don't want to stay here, go back!"

Cao Ye was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he exploded at one point, stood up and said in a choked voice, "Get out, get out, you think I want to come back." As he said that, he was about to walk towards the door.

Zheng Yin hurriedly pulled his arm to prevent him from leaving, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Speak well, your dad is here to see you this time."

"Come here just to see me?" Cao Ye sneered, "I've been back for a month, and this is his first time to see me!"

Liang Sizhe stood by the door, witnessed this scene, and felt that he should avoid suspicion as an outsider. He opened the door and walked out, then gently closed the door outside.

Cao Xiuyuan stared at Cao Ye, and said coldly, "Zheng Yin, you go out too."

"Oh..." Zheng Yin was worried, and before going out, he did not forget to whisper to Cao Ye: "Don't be stubborn with your father, just admit your mistakes."

The door closed, leaving only the confronting father and son in the room.Cao Ye turned his face away, and turned his neck away from looking at Cao Xiuyuan.

Cao Xiuyuan tried his best to calm down his tone: "Where have you been these few nights?"

Cao Ye didn't bother to lie now, and said calmly, "I went to the bar."

"which bar?"

"Don't you know?" By now, Cao Ye had guessed that this was the case.Someone should have recognized him in the bar and filed a complaint with Cao Xiuyuan, otherwise Cao Xiuyuan would not have suddenly come looking for him angrily.

Cao Xiuyuan frowned and looked at him: "How old are you going to that kind of place?!"

Cao Ye fought back without hesitation: "Then what's the difference between sending me here and that kind of place?"

"I sent you here to let you experience life!" He didn't mention it, but Cao Xiuyuan's anger surged up again in an instant, his anger was even stronger than before, and he threw a series of questions at Cao Ye. Come down, "Do you think dramas are so easy to act?! Do you think actors are so easy to be? Zheng Yin stole the script for you, you think I don't know? How many pages have you read? Take it out and read it Have you done it? Find out the script that Zheng Yin gave you, and I want to see what homework you have done!"

Cao Ye didn't say a word, didn't move, just stood in front of Cao Xiuyuan.These few words of Cao Xiuyuan touched his sore spot. He really didn't take out the script, and he really didn't even read it.What Zheng Yin said that day lingered lightly in his ears for a while, and then, like the mist in the morning, evaporated without a trace under the sun after being fresh.

"Don't think I'm your old man, this role is yours. You will have an audition later, and you will be with other candidate actors. I will not give you any special care. Zhou Ru really wrote this script with you in mind. It's so good. If you fail to grasp the opportunity, I won’t give you any more chances.” Cao Xiuyuan’s tone became colder, and he spoke harsher to his son than to all his actors, “Liu Adou, who can’t help you, this If you haven’t heard the story, you can ask your mother to tell it to you when you go back this time.”

After Cao Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door without saying a word of consolation.

Zheng Yin was afraid that the father and son in the house would really have a conflict, so he kept listening to the movement at the door.

As soon as Cao Xiuyuan said this, his temples twitched immediately, and he suddenly felt a headache: How can you say such words that hurt your self-esteem to your child...

Before he could make up his mind whether to go in to ease the atmosphere, Cao Xiuyuan opened the door and walked out.

"Brother Yuan..." Zheng Yin felt apprehensive when he saw Cao Xiuyuan's serious expression, but he still bite the bullet and grabbed his arm, stopped him from leaving, and lowered his voice, "You just said that seriously Are you okay? Xiao Ye is still a child no matter what, you should hurry back and comfort her..."

Before he finished speaking, a timid voice with an accent sounded from behind: "Sir, please make room, I will deliver the meal..."

Cao Xiuyuan raised his eyes to look at the waiter, and frowned even tighter: "What meal?"

"Takeaway, every day..." Seeing Zheng Yin next to him shaking his head suggestively at himself, although he didn't understand what it meant, the waiter subconsciously stopped in time.

"Let me take a look." Cao Xiuyuan took the paper bag, saw the beautifully packaged lunch inside, raised his hand, and threw it heavily at Zheng Yin's chest, "I serve delicious food and drink every day, and I also specially set aside This is how you let him experience life in such a big room?" After speaking, he left with a sullen face.

Zheng Yin took a step back from being hit by the lunch box, looked at Cao Xiuyuan's back, sighed, looked down at the food scattered all over the floor, and hurriedly explained to the waiter: "You should clean up here quickly. " Then he pushed open the door and poked his head in to look at Cao Ye.

The sky gradually darkened, and the room was dimly lit. Cao Ye was still standing where he was, his chest heaving up and down with anger, like a lion cub in battle readiness.

Zheng Yineng was sure that if Cao Xiuyuan hadn't been for Cao Ye's father, Cao Ye would have rushed to fight him as soon as he was sure.

"Have you hurt your self-esteem?" Zheng Yin tried to ease the atmosphere by joking, approached, and turned his face to look at him, "Look at this little face is puffed up with anger."

Cao Ye ignored him, sat on the bed, leaned sideways on the pillow, pulled up the quilt and covered his head under it.

"What?" Zheng Yin went to pick up his quilt, "Are you still crying?"

Cao Ye was quite stubborn at the moment, and he mumbled under the quilt and said, "Whoever cries is a grandson!"

Zheng Yin smiled, and persuaded gently: "Okay, it's not like you don't know your father's temper. He doesn't give anyone face when the evil fire comes up. You know Mr. Yu Xinyu, right? It's so big. You are old enough to be a grandpa, but you still get scolded by your father like a grandson in the film crew? When you join the film crew in the future, being scolded is a common thing..."

Cao Ye interrupted him in a muffled voice at this moment: "I won't join the crew."

"You are so sorry for me, Cao Ye. I have been a grandson in front of your father for several days just because I was found out about stealing the script for you. But, look, your father knows In this matter, he didn't ask for the script back, and just now he was angry that you didn't read the script, which means that he really has the idea of ​​letting you act, right?"

"If you ask me to act, I won't act." Cao Ye was buried under the quilt, and his mouth was stiff.

"You still make sense, right? It's your fault if you want me to say this. You said it's not good for you to go somewhere. You go gay. Did you go there as a child? I'll call the police and let the police give it to me after a while. Seized."

"Don't!" Hearing this, Cao Ye lifted the quilt and sat up, revealing his blushing face due to lack of oxygen, "It was driven by Lin Yan's brother, Lin Yan saw that I had no place. You only led me in later, I'm too shameless for you to do this!"

At this moment, Zheng Yin really breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was a little worried that Cao Ye's going to a gay bar had something to do with the agitation of puberty, but now it seems that nothing happened at all. "Then you promise me that you won't be allowed to go in the future." Zheng Yin said.

"I won't go if you give me money for nothing!" Cao Ye's words came from the heart, and the feeling of being missed by other men that night made him feel uncomfortable. He turned his face and muttered, "Originally, I just I went there all night, how could I be so unlucky, I just happened to be caught by your people..."

Reluctantly comforting Cao Ye, Zheng Yin hurriedly left the room again, raised his legs to chase Cao Xiuyuan.

He was ready for Cao Xiuyuan to abandon himself and drive away angrily, but he didn't expect that when he got downstairs, the off-road vehicle was still parked at the gate of Lanyan, and Cao Xiuyuan was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, facing out of the car window with a sullen face smokes.

Zheng Yin breathed another sigh of relief, opened the car door and sat in, and said with a smile while fastening his seat belt: "I thought you were leaving soon."

Cao Xiuyuan's expression softened a lot at this moment, and he asked, "Are you calmed down?"

"Where is it so comforting... My godfather can't replace my real father no matter what, you really don't want to go and see?"

"No," Cao Xiuyuan said one thing, and it seemed that he hadn't completely calmed down, "You just get used to him, if you get used to it like this, you can see if he will suffer when he joins the crew. He may not be able to catch you even here."

"That's a serious word for you..." Zheng Yin was driving the car, speaking for Cao Ye, "I don't think so, Xiaoye has never suffered, but you can't just say that he can't suffer."

"He can suffer a lot," Cao Xiuyuan criticized Cao Ye mercilessly. "You see, his mother let him practice the violin since he was a child. What is he doing now? If an actor can't endure hardship, the audience won't give it to you." It’s a matter of course for food to eat.”

Zheng Yin smiled, thinking that the current entertainment industry is not what Cao Xiuyuan believes. Now there are many actors who can't endure hardship but eat well, but he didn't directly refute Cao Xiuyuan, but said: "But he recruits people. I like him, none of his friends don’t like him, Zhou Ru just took one look at him and wrote a script for him.”

Cao Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "What's the use?"

"He will be very popular with audiences in the future," Zheng Yin said softly, looking ahead, "Brother Yuan, do you know that being liked by others is a rare talent, and none of us have this talent."

Cao Xiuyuan reprimanded disapprovingly: "You mean you want him to enter the entertainment industry and become a likable trash?"
