The Eye of the Storm

Cao Ye remained peaceful for several days.

Cao Xiuyuan's words still had some effect on him. He was young and energetic, and no one wanted to be underestimated by others, let alone that person was his prestigious father.

Another reason why he can stay in Lanyan is that compared to Lin Yan who shows his affection all the time, staying with Liang Sizhe is really comfortable physically and mentally.

At the same time, Cao Ye's talent for attracting people was brought into full play in Lan Yan, and within two days, he recognized no less than ten older sisters.On the next flight of stairs, Sister Hong, Sister Lan, Sister Qing... After a quick call, you can almost gather seven colors to summon the dragon.

Liang Sizhe used to watch movies in his room in the afternoon. When he encountered a movie he hadn’t seen, Cao Ye would watch it along with him;

The karaoke hall on the second floor always opens at 7:[-] p.m. in summer. The period before opening is always the most deserted time for Lanyan. The singing girls who live on the third floor use this time to dress up, clean up the room, and go downstairs They greeted each other while taking out the trash, and neither of them had the desire to talk to each other.

But when Cao Ye came, the period before opening suddenly became lively.Cao Ye didn't like to stay in the house, he thought the light was too poor, so he always moved a wooden stool to sit at the door, and the women who came back from taking out the trash all liked to chat with him:

"Director Cao Xiuyuan is really your father?"

"Let Director Cao arrange a few roles for us?"

"Did your dad let you come and experience life?"

Cao Ye never showed embarrassment to others. When encountering difficult problems, he would pretend to be stupid and pretend to be dumbfounded. Most of the time, he was smiling.Anyone would like to talk to such a person, he can't see the hardships of life in him, and the fresh youthful spirit is overflowing, almost bursting out after being exposed to the sun outside, almost making a sizzling sound .

One is Cao Xiuyuan's son, and the other is a newcomer picked by Cao Xiuyuan. The gossip spreads vigorously, and the people in the store are well aware of this, so they inevitably compare the two behind their backs.

They said that Liang Sizhe is really good-looking and has a unique temperament, but he is not as easy to get along with as Mr. Cao, and his whole body is like a thick barrier, which separates him from contacting, talking and joking. That layer of enchantment. "I'm not familiar with the place." The proprietress lowered her voice and made a concluding speech.

In the evening, Cao Ye was sitting at the door chatting with some girls. The number of guests at the door increased, and the noise gradually increased. He was about to put the stool back into the house and go upstairs when a very familiar off-road vehicle drove by. He came over, stopped in front of him, opened the door, and Zheng Yin got out of the car.

"Uncle Yin?" Cao Ye straightened up, "Why are you here?"

Zheng Yin closed the car door and walked up the steps: "Let's see if you stay here obediently."

When the girls saw Zheng Yin, they were afraid of causing trouble to themselves, so they immediately turned around and entered the room tactfully.

Zheng Yin glanced at the backs of those figures in the room, and patted Cao Ye on the back: "Not doing business."

"No, I just came out for a while... Uncle Yin, why don't you come here without calling in advance?"

Zheng Yin squinted at him: "Tell me, so you can pretend to read the script seriously?"

Cao Ye laughed dryly: "You attacked suddenly, as if you were here to catch a rape..."

"Aren't you just here to catch traitors?" Zheng Yin said solemnly, "I'm not allowed to see you chatting with them in the future, do you know?"

"My dad let me experience life well, but you don't let me do this or that," Cao Ye retorted confidently, "Then I stay in the room every day and read the script, what else do I experience..."

What he said was quite reasonable, Zheng Yin had no choice but to make a compromise: "Okay, you can chat, but you are not allowed to talk about something indecent. Where are you Si Zhe brother?"

Cao Ye pointed upstairs: "Watching a movie at home."

Zheng Yin glanced at him: "Look at him." After speaking, he pushed his back and walked forward, asking him to go upstairs with him.

"I've seen that movie!" Cao Ye said unconvinced.

Pushing open the door and entering, Liang Sizhe was sitting on the bed with his back leaning against the bed board, one leg straightened and the other bent. Hearing the door sound, his eyes moved from the TV screen to the two people who came in.

"Yin...brother." Seeing Zheng Yin approaching, he bowed and sat up straight.

"Well," Zheng Yin walked in, glanced at the TV, "The Godfather" was playing on the screen, "How about watching a movie?"

Liang Sizhe pressed the pause button with the remote control: "Yes."

Cao Ye came in after Zheng Yin, and interjected, "How can you call 'Brother' Liang Sizhe? You clearly took advantage of me, right?" Liang Sizhe called him by his first name.

Liang Sizhe smiled and explained: "It's a bit strange to be called 'Uncle'." Zheng Yin really didn't look like an uncle, he couldn't call "Uncle Yin" so smoothly like Cao Ye,

"Then you should call me as well. If you call him elder brother, wouldn't you also become a generation with them? Do I want to call you Uncle Sizhe?"

"That's not impossible," Liang Sizhe laughed, "I don't mind."

"I mind!" Cao Ye sat sideways on Liang Sizhe's bed, looked up at Zheng Yin, "Uncle Yin, please take care of him."

"You and I can't control it," Zheng Yin said with a smile, but he still followed him and looked at Liang Sizhe, "Since Xiao Ye called me Uncle Yin, you can also call me that with him."

"Okay..." Liang Sizhe didn't care what his name was, so he changed his tune and said, "Uncle Yin."

"Well," Zheng Yin responded, looked down at the two teenagers sitting on the bed, and began to talk about business, "I came to inform you that there will be a round of auditions the day after tomorrow, when Teacher Cao, screenwriter, assistant director, casting director ...In short, the main crew of the crew will be on the scene, you should prepare in advance, and I will pick you up around three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"How do you prepare?" Cao Ye looked at him and asked.

"You don't need to make special preparations, just tidy it up. This time, I only auditioned and not auditioned, so don't be nervous."

"Just turn twice in front of the camera with the pestle, okay?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what it means." Zheng Yin nodded.

"Uncle Yin," Cao Ye stretched his arm and put it on Liang Sizhe's shoulder, inquiring about the news with Zheng Yin, "Are we going to act in the same movie?"

"Is this... hard to say."

Cao Ye "cut": "It's still a secret."

"It's really not a joke," Zheng Yin said with a smile, "Now we haven't even done the first round of auditions, let alone the subsequent auditions. Everything is unknown, and I can't predict it."

Cao Ye was speechless: "Okay."

After Zheng Yin finished his business, he looked at Liang Sizhe and said, "Sizhe, come out with me."

"What's the matter, you still have to avoid me?" Cao Ye put his arm around Liang Sizhe's neck, and didn't let go, "Don't go with him."

"Speaking ill of you can't avoid you?" Zheng Yin said with a smile, "Let go, let Sizhe go with me, there is something important."

Liang Sizhe raised his hand to hold Cao Ye's wrist, trying to take his arm away from his body, but Cao Ye tightened his arm and refused to take it away. He was quite energetic, and Liang Sizhe was not good in front of Zheng Yin. She broke him hard, turned her face to him and said, "Don't worry, I will never sue you for being black."

"I don't have anything to complain about!" Cao Ye said, but his arms relaxed.

Liang Sizhe moved to the side of the bed, got off the bed, put on his shoes, and followed Zheng Yin out.

"Liang Sizhe, remember that we are a united front!" Cao Ye shouted at Liang Sizhe a second before the door closed.

"Is it okay to get along with Cao Ye?" Zheng Yin asked Liang Sizhe while walking.When talking to Liang Sizhe, he obviously changed his attitude. It was a kind of unfamiliar attitude towards peers, which was completely different from the attitude of treating Cao Ye as a child.

"Not bad." Liang Sizhe said.

"He is not annoying, which I am very relieved."

Liang Sizhe let out a "hmm".

"Si Zhe, it's nothing else to ask you to come out, I still want to ask you to help me watch Xiaoye more, his heart is completely like a child, I am really worried about staying in this environment, you just Give me some snacks, will you?"

He said this sincerely, Liang Sizhe felt that compared to Cao Xiuyuan, Zheng Yin seemed more like a father, he was silent for a moment, and said: "I can help, but he may not listen to me."

"I think you guys get along very well. Although Cao Ye can get along with anyone, there is still a difference between closeness and distance. I can see that he is very close to you. You don't have to worry too much, just Just help me see that he doesn't hook up with girls randomly, okay?"

"I will try my best." Liang Sizhe said.

"Thank you very much, by the way, and what Director Cao means is that you guys will have dinner on this street in the future, and feel the surrounding environment and atmosphere by the way. As for the money, I dare not give Cao Ye too much. He has money and doesn't want to stay here properly, I'll give you the money," Zheng Yin went down the stairs, walked to the side of the car, opened the co-pilot's door, found an envelope from the storage box, and handed it to Liang Sizhe, "Just treat it as your food expenses for this month, here, take it."

The envelope was very thick, and Liang Sizhe knew at a glance that what Zheng Yin gave him was definitely not just food expenses... Maybe there was also labor expenses for helping him look after Cao Ye.

Liang Sizhe didn't answer: "I'll pay first, and the amount will be calculated at the end of the month, and you can settle it for me."

"Take it," Zheng Yin stuffed the envelope into his hand, "It's not easy for you to come to Beijing alone."

"It's really not necessary," Liang Sizhe took a step back and looked at Zheng Yin, "Is it still a help if you take the money?" But he didn't make it clear in the end—isn't that a nanny?

Zheng Yin heard the voice of his words, didn't insist anymore, smiled and said: "Okay, then I owe you a favor."

Liang Sizhe nodded and said, "Okay."

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, Zheng Yin drove the car to Lan Yan.When they knocked on the door, the two teenagers were still lying on their respective beds taking a nap.Zheng Yin knocked on the door several times before waking them up. Liang Sizhe was woken up first. He sat up, got out of bed and walked to another bed with his slippers on. He patted Cao Ye's shoulder twice, his voice still hoarse. "Wake up, Uncle Yin is calling." Then he walked over and opened the door.

"You guys are really big-hearted," Zheng Yin walked in, "Don't you wash and prepare in advance?"

"So sleepy..." Cao Ye sat up listlessly, closed his eyes and let out a long yawn.

"Hurry up and wash your face." Zheng Yin walked to his bed and smoothed his sleepy hair with his fingers. "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

When Cao Ye sat sleepily by the bed and put on his slippers, Liang Sizhe had already washed his face and came out of the bathroom.He bit the black hair rope with his teeth, and tied the hair at the back of his head with both hands.

Zheng Yin watched Cao Ye's eyes go from half-closed to slowly widening, staring straight at Liang Sizhe, and couldn't help but pat the back of his head with a smile: "Are you Jia Baoyu? Reincarnation, Cao Ye." Looking back at Liang Sizhe, I have to admit that this boy is really eye-catching, more eye-catching than any newcomer Cao Xiuyuan has used before.However, as an actor, sometimes being too unique is not necessarily a good thing.

Hearing Zheng Yin's words, Liang Sizhe had lowered his eyes and tied his hair, but at this moment he raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Ye for some unknown reason.

Cao Ye came back to his senses and finally woke up from his sleepiness. Feeling a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to change the subject, "Didn't you say to come at three o'clock in the afternoon, it's obviously only a little past two o'clock."

"There is a change in the plan, and this is how it is in this line of work. You have to be on call, otherwise the opportunity will only belong to someone else," Zheng Yin said patiently, "Hurry up and pack it up in five minutes."

While Cao Ye was washing his face, Zheng Yin dug out two pieces of clothes from the closet and spread them on the bed - a white T-shirt and plaid shorts. When Cao Ye came out of the bathroom, he pointed to the clothes on the bed and said, "Change into these clothes. Let's go." He knew what kind of image Cao Xiuyuan wanted for the protagonist, Xiao Man, and he also knew what clothes Cao Ye would wear to best fit that image.

It didn't matter what Cao Ye wore, he was so happy that he didn't need to find clothes by himself, so he walked over to pick up the clothes on the bed and changed.

Liang Sizhe wore a black T and blue straight-leg jeans. After changing, he leaned against the door and waited for Cao Ye.

Zheng Yin looked at him when he went out, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated in the end—in fact, Zheng Yin was hesitating whether to remind him to change his clothes. It was different on him, the black color strengthened his unique temperament and made him look sharper.Liang Sizhe's image in this outfit is far from Xiaoman's. It doesn't look like he's going to audition for "Thirteen Days", but rather like he's going to be an idol star.

But Zheng Yin thought about it and still didn't say anything.

There is only one Xiao Man, and he hopes it will be the Cao Ye he watched growing up.

As for Liang Sizhe, to him, he was just a passer-by with a few acquaintances, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
