MTL - The Actress is My Favorite-Chapter 57

Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu didn't know it at all, and now the barrage has turned upside down.

But they didn't feel embarrassed watching what was being played on TV, at most they just... blushed.

Fortunately, the living room is dimly lit, so you can hardly see it.

Xia Shutong looked at the screen, then lowered her head, and secretly looked at Yun Feiwu's fingers resting on the sofa.

very close.

Xia Shutong blushed, and approached Yun Feiwu with her fingers little by little. She was about to grab Yun Feiwu's fingertips, but she shook her hand and pulled it away.

Xia Shutong: "..."

He raised his eyes and continued to watch TV seriously.

Unexpectedly, his fingers suddenly felt a soft touch—being held by Yun Feiwu.

As soon as Xia Shutong turned her head, she saw Yun Feiwu's smiling eyes.

Realizing that she had been tricked, Xia Shutong glared at Yun Feiwu, then lightly touched her shoulder with the other hand, snorted silently, and ignored her.

With a smile on his face, Yun Feiwu secretly leaned on Xia Shutong's shoulder.

After Xia Hongye saw the unexpected "confession" on TV, she originally wanted to see how Xia Yun and the two would react in reality, but she accidentally saw such a passage.

If it wasn't for Mr. Xia who was nearby, Xia Hongye would definitely have whistled.

In the end, she just rolled her eyes and continued watching the show.

Soon, the program was broadcast to the next day's party.

The program group obviously played a role in the promotion of Lu Village. A series of [Want to travel to Lu Village], [The scenery of Lu Village is too beautiful], and [The villagers are so simple! I love the bonfire party】…

After the party, the first half of the second period is over. The last picture before the advertisement is the back view of a group of six people in front of Yingyue Lake.

Xia Cha, who had been silent for the whole afternoon, finally spoke at this moment: "The scenery here is not bad."

Xia Shutong pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa, if you like, our family can go on a trip in the future."

Xia Cha said "um" lightly and stopped talking.

This can be regarded as... accepting Xia Shutong's softness.

Seeing this, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu looked at each other and understood each other.

After the ad, it was the day after the dance.

This day was the first day that Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu were officially together. If Xia Shutong remembered correctly, the group of them only rowed the boat that day and did almost nothing.

And because of what happened between her and Yun Feiwu at night, both of them were very restrained that day, but after the filming, why did they look weird?

First of all, when boarding the boat, Yun Feiwu stepped on the boat first, then turned his head habitually, stretched out a hand to Xia Shutong, pulled Xia Shutong gently, and pulled Xia Shutong onto the boat. Instantly, the contact time is less than two seconds.

But neither of them noticed at the time, their movements were too smooth, and when they looked at each other... they were too affectionate. The kind of inadvertently revealed affection is simply irresistible.

So in the next few shots, it was clear that Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu had no close contact, or even talked much, but it gave everyone a feeling of "they are in love".

It's not sour, but it's too sweet, almost overflowing the screen.

At this time, not only the barrage exploded, Xia Cha finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up abruptly, stared at the two of them bitterly: "I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Grandpa?" Xia Shutong stood up in confusion.

Xia Cha ignored her and went straight upstairs.

The old fox was inexplicably angry again.

Xia Shutong was wondering whether to give in again and went to coax the old man, but Xia Hongye held her belly and laughed.

"Hahahahahaha Xia Shutong, you are awesome, you just **** grandpa away hahahahahaha..."

Xia Shutong rolled her eyes directly.

Instead, Yun Feiwu opened a can of drink, handed it to Xia Hongye, and said softly, "Sister Xia, do you know why Grandpa is angry?"

Xia Hongye's laughter stopped, she straightened up, and squinted at Yun Feiwu for a while.

Yun Feiwu has always maintained a gentle smile, and even the curvature of the corners of his lips is gentle and just right.

In fact, Xia Hongye didn't know much about Xia Shutong. Until today, Xia Hongye didn't know that the "jiao" in Xia Shutong's golden house was actually Yun Feiwu.

Although a little shocked, Xia Hongye didn't feel disgusted, and even felt quite comfortable watching the interaction between the two. And now that Yun Feiwu was talking to her alone, he didn't have the indifference on TV at all.

Who doesn't like a gentle and beautiful young lady? Anyway, Xia Hongye likes it.

So after taking a few glances, Xia Hongye smiled and rolled her eyes: "Sister Yunyun, tell my sister first, why did you and Tongtong ask Grandpa to watch TV together today?"

"Grandpa is in a bad mood, we want to make him happy." Yun Feiwu said honestly.

"Then do you know why Grandpa is in a bad mood?" Xia Hongye clapped her hands. She didn't continue until she caught the eyes of the two people, "Because you are dating without telling him."

Xia Hongye is different from Xia Shutong, she has no talent for business, but she is much better than Xia Shutong in emotional insight. As early as in the morning, when Xia Yuansi said "Xia Shutong used the company's resources to support Yun Feiwu", Xia Hongye, who had been peeking on the stairs, had already noticed the change in Xia Cha's mood, so she appeared so timely.

Moreover, Xia Hongye didn't think about conflicts of interest. To her, Xia Cha was in a bad mood, which meant that he was in a bad mood, and had nothing to do with him being a shrewd businessman.

Xia Shutong said confusedly: "We know."

"Well, you guys know why he's angry, so you want to take the initiative to give in and invite him to watch the show together, right?" Xia Hongye asked.

The two nodded.

Xia Hongye patted the sofa again and laughed for a while before straightening up, out of breath: "But in the show, you guys have been showing off your affection crazily—this show is like stabbing a knife in Grandpa's heart , can he, can he not be angry hahahahahahahahaha..."

Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu looked at each other and blinked at the same time.

it seems to be like this.

After all, both of them have no experience in "coaxing the elders". It's normal to make a mistake the first time... right?

"But you don't have to worry too much." Xia Hongye laughed enough, clapped her hands and got up, "You don't know Grandpa's character, Tongtong, how long can he care about it? Maybe after he returns to the room, he will secretly search for the show. Come out and watch. Alright, I’m going back to play games too, so I won’t bother you two.”

"Continue watching?" There were only the two of them left in the living room, Yun Feiwu didn't sit upright this time, and put his arms around Xia Shutong's shoulders openly.

Xia Shutong nodded and looked at the screen, but couldn't see it.

Her mind was full of what she and Yun Feiwu did in the room that night when the program was filmed...

During the few days in Lu Village, because they were just together and the shooting tasks were not heavy, they did some unscrupulous things almost every night.

Originally, after so long, Xia Shutong almost forgot, but now looking at the familiar scenery on the screen again, it was like returning to the beginning...

Leaning in Yun Feiwu's arms, Xia Shutong's eyes drifted away from the projector screen, and seeing the dim and ambiguous lights around him, he felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker.

"Maomao, I'm tired." Xia Shutong tugged at Yun Feiwu's sleeve, "I want... I want to sleep."

I don't know if Yun Feiwu understood what she meant.

Yun Feiwu gave a soft "hmm" and turned off the TV: "Then I'll take you back to your room?"

Xia Shutong's heart couldn't help becoming tense, and his fingers also grabbed Yun Feiwu's clothes tightly.

Yun Feiwu's arms were very strong, and he was very steady when he hugged her. Xia Shutong buried her head in her arms, feeling her face getting hotter and hotter.

In the room, Yun Feiwu hugged Xia Shutong directly on the bed, changed her pajamas skillfully, and carried her into the bathroom to wash up. After a set of operations, even Xia Shutong didn't feel so shy anymore.

However, after returning from the bathroom, the two of them nestled under the quilt, but Yun Feiwu took the initiative to turn off the light: "Ruan Ruan, good night."

Saying that, she closed her eyes obediently.

Xia Shutong:? ? ?

Wolf cub, is this a **** change?

Didn't understand her hints, don't tell me, don't you have any thoughts about that?

Xia Shutong closed her eyes and squinted in Yun Feiwu's arms for a while, but she was about to fall asleep, and the wolf cub hadn't reacted at all. Xia Shutong finally couldn't hold back anymore, blushing, and rubbed against Yun Feiwu's neck.

With a soft voice: "Maomao?"

This is already stated.

A few seconds later, Yun Feiwu opened his eyes with difficulty, and said in a daze, "Huh?"

The voice was incredibly soft, like the unconscious whimpering of a puppy.

In the darkness, when Xia Shutong raised his head, he saw a pair of watery eyes.

She couldn't see the expression in Yun Feiwu's eyes clearly, but she felt that Yun Feiwu seemed to be really sleepy. Her eyes were watery and sparkling, and her voice was also a grunt from her throat, which made people want to rub her.

"Maomao, you fell asleep just now?" Xia Shutong asked in a low voice.

"...Mmm." Yun Feiwu grunted, then lowered his head and rubbed against Xia Shutong's chest, "Sister, I'm sleepy."

Xia Shutong's body softened and he didn't dare to move. It took him a long time to rub Yun Feiwu's head, only to find that the wolf cub had fallen asleep again.

Xia Shutong was stunned.

Yun Feiwu's physical strength has always been good, why did he have to go to bed so early today? Could it be because they... in the afternoon?

That's not enough, is it? I am much gentler than wolf cubs, and I only came here once in the afternoon. Unlike the night before yesterday, when she finally returned home from the grassland, Yun Feiwu almost tossed her so much that she didn't sleep all night.

Xia Shutong didn't know that after Yun Feiwu heard her audio and the phone call with Xia Yuansi last night, he didn't close his eyes all night. Here at the house, I spent another time with Xia Shutong in the afternoon, and now I am very tired.

"Good night, cat." Xia Shutong stopped thinking, hugged Yun Feiwu tightly, and said in a breathy voice.

After finishing speaking, she also closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

…

Xia Shutong had a very long, scattered dream.

She dreams of forgotten parts of the time.

Nineteen years old, Xia Tian.

It was the first time for Xia Shutong to fly on a plane, and she suffered from severe tinnitus, but she dared not tell the elderly man beside her.

The man said that his name was Xia Cha and he was her grandfather.

And she turned out to be the daughter of the Xia family that had been lost for many years. Her name is not Xia Ruan, but Xia Shutong.

From the beginning to the end, Xia Shutong didn't dare to look at Xia Cha. She kept her head down all the time, bit her lip when she felt uncomfortable, and got through without saying a word. Even if the corners of his eyes were soaked with tears from time to time, he quickly wiped them away so that the people around him would not notice.

Xia Cha didn't look at her very much until he got off the plane and got into a luxury car. Xia Cha looked at her in the back seat, squinted his eyes and said to her slowly:

"Tongtong, you will be the eldest lady of the Xia family from now on, and you are going to take over the Xia family company. Forget about the past."

There was a smile in Xia Cha's eyes, but it made people feel cold. It was as if under his scrutiny, he was just an exquisite commodity, not a living person.

Xia Shutong nodded tremblingly.

She remembered Xia Cha's eyes. For many days to come, she tried her best to imitate this look in front of outsiders.

However, Xia Cha patted her on the shoulder dissatisfied: "Tongtong, the person in charge of the Xia family, you can't be afraid. You are even afraid of grandpa, how can you face other people in the future?"

Xia Shutong's face turned pale, but abruptly stopped trembling.

Only then did Xia Cha look away in satisfaction.

Soon, the car arrived at Xia's villa.

Xia Shutong had filmed many scenes with Yun Feiwu and seen many luxurious houses, but after entering Xia's Manor, she was still shocked by the decoration here.

When she was a child, she had been living in that small dilapidated house in Yuncheng. Even if they later moved into Xinghui's dormitory with Yun Feiwu, the conditions were not much better. Xia Shutong really can't believe that after today, she will live in this mansion...

It would be nice if the cat was there too.

Xia Shutong gritted her teeth to dispel this thought, and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.

There were not many people in the villa. First of all, a man in his forties had loose eyes, which made Xia Shutong feel very uncomfortable. Then there was the woman next to her, still in her forties, with picturesque almond eyes, luxuriously dressed, but her face was terribly haggard, she stared at Xia Shutong as if she was about to cry. In the corner, a girl about Xia Shutong's age was sitting there, frowning, wondering what to think.

There were only five people in the room, but there was a full banquet on the table, and there was even an exquisite big cake in the middle.

Xia Shutong stared blankly at the table, before she could react, the middle-aged woman rushed over, hugged her, and cried bitterly: "Tongtong...It's my mother who is sorry for you..."

Very strange voice.

Xia Shutong trembled helplessly because of fear.

However, the woman obviously didn't notice Xia Shutong's emotions, she just hugged Xia Shutong tightly, weeping on her shoulder.

Xia Shutong felt warm tears dripping down her shoulders, soaking her clothes. The sad breath on the woman's body seemed to be conveyed to Xia Shutong's heart along with the tears.

She raised her hand subconsciously and hugged the woman gently.

The woman's body was very thin, much thinner than a cat's. Xia Shutong was even afraid that she might be seriously ill and might leave at any time.

Xia Shutong recalled Wang Xiaoning who died of illness on the bed, and also lowered her head, letting tears flow from her eyes.

Staged a tragic drama of the reunion of mother and daughter.

After that, Xia Shutong knew that the woman was her biological mother, Zhang Yirou. The man behind is his father, Xia Hongtao, and the girl is her older sister Xia Hongye.

Except for Zhang Yirou, it seemed that no one was willing to give her any warmth.

So for a long time after that, Xia Shutong was by Zhang Yirou's side. They live together in the urban area of ​​Haicheng, and only occasionally go back to the old house.

Just like Wang Xiaoning, Zhang Yirou loves her, takes care of her, and teaches her many things. But different from Wang Xiaoning, Zhang Yirou's love is deeper, Zhang Yirou takes her by his side almost all the time, as if she is afraid that she will disappear again.

When Xia Shutong was young, Wang Xiaoning taught her mostly life skills and principles of dealing with people, but Zhang Yirou taught her knowledge, taught her to study, taught her to do business, Zhang Yirou seemed to be afraid that she didn't have enough time, and dragged her sickly body every day. body, instilled everything she knew into her brain.

Xia Shutong also couldn't tell what kind of feelings she had for Zhang Yirou.

gratitude? rely?

But no matter what it is, Zhang Yirou is the person she is closest to after returning to Xia's house.

But within a year, Zhang Yirou left.

On the day of the cremation, Xia Shutong stood outside the glass window of the cremation area of ​​the funeral home, watching Zhang Yirou's coffin being sent into the furnace from a distance... When it came out again, it should be a handful of ashes.

Xia Shutong's eyes were naturally wet. She wanted to cry, but she saw Xia Cha's sharp eyes beside her. So she lowered her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she didn't cry.

For the next two years, Xia Shutong lived with Xia Cha in the old house.

Life around Xia Cha was difficult. In the past, Xia Shutong could find time to secretly write letters to Maomao in two or three weeks at most. But now, in order not to be discovered by Xia Cha, she often can't write letters for several months, and can't even read the letters Maomao wrote to her.

Besides, Xia Shutong has always been afraid of Xia Cha.

He is ruthless, cold-blooded and shrewd. He was born to be the type of person to scare people.

Xia Shutong was afraid of him, but she did...learned a lot from him. Gradually, Xia Shutong began to learn to disguise herself, at least on the surface, she became more and more like Xia Cha.

After squatting in a corner and crying secretly for countless times, Xia Shutong became clear about her ambition, and became more and more determined to move in that direction.

She wants to be powerful, she wants money, she wants power, she wants everyone's fear.

With such a mentality, at the age of twenty-two, Xia Shutong successfully took over Wutong and drove Xia Hongye out of the company.

For a long time, Xia Shutong was paranoid almost abnormally, almost crazy. She was no longer afraid, and she no longer cared about the feelings of those around her, not even herself. All she cared about was the girl far away in Yuncheng.

Then suddenly one day, in July, a few days before Xia Shutong's birthday, Maomao suddenly found Wutong from Yuncheng.

Not seeing each other for three years, Yun Feiwu has changed a lot, more beautiful and dazzling, with a calm light shining in his gray eyes. From the little girl back then, she has transformed into the beautiful girl she is today.

...even taller than Xia Shutong.

The moment Xia Shutong saw Yun Feiwu from a distance, Xia Shutong almost wanted to rush over to hug her, but soon, one thought after another flashed through her mind—

Don't get close to cats, don't be noticed.

She has to protect her.

She is already a rotten person struggling in the mud, so she must not drag Yun Feiwu in again.

So in the end, Xia Shutong just suppressed the expression on his face, tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, and led Yun Feiwu into an unmonitored alley next to the company. The bodyguards stood outside immediately.

"Ruanruan...!" The calmness in Yun Feiwu's eyes disappeared completely, full of joy of reunion after a long absence.

Xia Shutong just raised his chin, with a contemptuous attitude: "Why are you here?"

She remembered that Yun Feiwu mentioned in the letter that Xinghui was going to move to Haicheng, but she checked and it should be next month, and Yun Feiwu shouldn't have come so early.

"Your birthday is coming soon... I, I just want to come to you..." Yun Feiwu sensed that her expression was wrong, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Ruan Ruan, don't worry, I came alone without telling the company... no people know."

A person? Find this place from Cloud City? A thousand miles.

Xia Shutong's heart ached for a moment.

However, on the surface, she just gave a faint "tsk", with a playful expression.

Yun Feiwu's expectant and pitiful smile suddenly froze, and his eyes were watery.

Xia Shutong took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, threw them to Yun Feiwu, and gave his address: "Go back and wait for me. I get off work around six o'clock, and I'll take you to dinner then."

Yun Feiwu held the key tightly, his gray eyes were filled with steam, and he bit his lip, as if he might cry at any moment.

Xia Shutong was very sad, and her voice finally softened: "...Good boy."

After that, although Xia Shutong returned to the company, she couldn't concentrate. When she closed her eyes for a while, Yun Feiwu looked at her pitifully and pitifully.

Heart like a knife.

Although he ordered the bodyguards to keep an eye on Yun Feiwu, he still felt uneasy.

After being distracted countless times, Xia Shutong finally put aside the report and left work early for the first time.

In order not to arouse Xia Cha's suspicion, Xia Shutong didn't go home directly, but went to Tianjun for a stroll first, pretending that she wanted to learn from her father, and she didn't drive until Xia Hongtao couldn't bear it anymore and obviously wanted to chase someone away. go home.

Xia Shutong didn't cook well. At that time, the nanny she hired was only responsible for cleaning and rarely stayed at home to cook, so Xia Shutong ate at the company most of the time.

Today, I couldn't go to the company with Yun Feiwu, so Xia Shutong struggled for a while, and finally took her to a private restaurant.

During the meal, Yun Feiwu kept his head down, occasionally looking at her with timid eyes.

Yun Feiwu didn't say a word, and Xia Shutong wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.

Just finished the meal in silence.

After returning home, Xia Shutong settled Yun Feiwu in the guest room, while she was in a daze on the bed in the dormitory.

She thought of the way Yun Feiwu looked at her, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But reason told her that this is the best way. She shouldn't have too much contact with Yun Feiwu. She has made many enemies over the years, and there will only be more in the future.

She just needs to stay in the dark and protect Yun Feiwu.

Her cat is the sun in the sky, how can she walk with a paranoid and crazy person like her who is struggling in the mud.

But in the middle of the night, Yun Feiwu suddenly knocked on Xia Shutong's door.

open the door.

Yun Feiwu was standing at the door in a nightgown, his fair skin was exposed, which made Xia Shutong inexplicably itchy.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm afraid of sleeping alone...I, can I sleep with you?" Yun Feiwu raised his head, looking timid, and almost said this in a crying voice.
