Chapter 499 Valentine’s Day
Chen Chuan hurriedly pulled his mother out and said, "My friend is very shy and is not used to showing up in crowded places. Please stop trying to persuade her. I will take her to eat somewhere else later."
At this time, Yu Wenze and Lu Xiya also came over to help Chen Chuan talk and coax Zhang Xiangyun away.
Chen Chuan opened the car door and asked Yang Jiaqi to sit in the car for a while. He would be back soon.
Then I went with my cousin and my cousin to meet the relatives of my aunt and grandma.
On the way, Lu Xiya smiled and asked, "What will Chen Chuan take him to eat soon?"
Chen Chuan said: "Just give her whatever she likes to eat."
"You can take her to eat something fresh and natural." Lu Xiya said.
"Um."
Yu Wenze asked: "Who is in the car? Cousin, after you bought the car, did you attract a girl?"
Chen Chuan smiled.
Yu Wenze said to himself: "That's right. The Aston Martin sports car costing more than five million yuan is parked on the street. I get off and smoke next to the station. I ask a passing girl to borrow a fire. I guess I can borrow it at any cost."
Lu Xiya laughed: "He borrowed a fire from the girl, and the girl borrowed a fire from him..."
She didn't say the word, she only said it halfway and then stopped, but Chen Chuan also heard what the word was. I have to sigh, this Lu Xiya really dares to joke. But Yu Wen was dumbfounded and asked what he wanted to borrow.
Chen Chuan and Lu Xiya both laughed but did not answer.
The three of them went to meet their aunt's relatives.
Especially Chen Chuan, who was surrounded by a group of distant cousins, chattering and asking questions. Fortunately, he had prepared a New Year's red envelope in advance. He took it out of his bag and divided it among his aunt and uncle. Everyone who meets the child has a share.
Each red envelope contains 1,000 yuan and 10 red tickets.
Lu Xiya saw that Chen Chuan had been taking out red envelopes, so she went over to take a look. Hehe, his LV bag was full of red envelopes. There were dozens of red envelopes, which amounted to tens of thousands. But to Chen Chuan, this tens of thousands is definitely nothing.
It can be seen from the fact that he booked 15 luxury suites in five-star hotels in one go, and he booked them for a week.
But my great-aunt’s family is not short of money either.
There were also gifts in return. Some people who were very particular also gave Chen Chuan red envelopes or New Year gifts.
One of the distant cousins, named Yang Xiaoyue, was an 18th-tier actor. This cousin was a familiar one. She seemed to realize that Chen Chuan was easy to talk to, so she pestered her cousin to find movies for her to film. She also said that she couldn't find any more movies. After filming, I have to go to the announcement and participate in the talent show.
Chen Chuan saw that his little cousin was innocent, natural, lively and lively, with exquisite facial features and a tall figure. In terms of external conditions, he should be able to earn a living in the film and television industry. However, he was really worn down by her, so he could only agree to "turn back." Let me help you ask and see if there is a suitable role for you."
In the film and television industry, Chen Chuan didn't know many people. He only knew Yang Jiaqi, a big star, and Dai Xiaohuang, a local director in Haiqin City.
Of course, because he has a huge film and television city and receives many large crews for filming every year, so it is not difficult for him to get to know a few famous directors and stars if he wants to.
After Chen Chuan agreed to his distant cousin's request, he received a warm hug and thanks from his little cousin.
Since Yang Jiaqi was still waiting in the car outside, Chen Chuan didn't stay here longer.
Because it was indeed noon, it was time for dinner, and Yang Jiaqi was probably very hungry, so he had to feed her something. In fact, when no one came to disturb her in the car, she was so hungry that she started eating snacks.
Chen Chuan asked for leave from her mother and wanted to take her friends away.
Zhang Xiangyun understands, after all, she also knows that you cannot expect a person who makes a lot of money to be like ordinary people. People who make a lot of money must be very busy, have many friends, and socialize a lot.
Zhang Xiangyun only asked a few words, "Don't drive while drinking, and pay attention to safety," and then let him go.
Chen Chuan responded with a few words and walked towards the car. When he walked over, he saw Yang Jiaqi standing outside the car.
"Are you so bold? Why did you come out?" Chen Chuan was surprised and looked around to see if anyone had noticed.
Yang Jiaqi wore a scarf and smiled. Although the corners of her smiling mouth could not be seen, the curved eyebrows and eyes were still beautiful. She said: "I decided to get out of the car and wish your family a happy New Year. After all, it is the first month of the year, and it is the first time we have met." , I’ve seen you all, it’s not a good idea not to wish you a happy new year.”
"We have many relatives in our family. If someone sees her, she will definitely be told, and photos and videos will be leaked. For the sake of your acting career, you'd better not bow down." Chen Chuan said.
"But I want to pay my respects. After all, they are your family." She said.
"I'll bear it for them. Let's find a place to eat, and then find a place again, and you can pay your respects to me properly. I can bear any kind of grand ceremony like three kneels and nine kowtows." Chen Chuan said with a smile.
At this time, Lu Xiya passed by and said, "Chen Chuan, you ran away so fast? How many red envelopes did you give out just now? It must be fifty or sixty, right?"
"Well, I don't know." Chen Chuan said.
"You're not eating here. You want to go out with your friends? Since we're all here, let's stay here." Lu Xiya said, looking at the man standing next to the car, covering half of her face with a scarf, only revealing her upper lip. Yang Jiaqi has a straight nose and beautiful eyebrows.
"Hello, happy New Year." Yang Jiaqi greeted softly.
"Hello, happy New Year to you too." Lu Xiya said and said "Hey" again.
Yang Jiaqi looked at Chen Chuan with a questioning look, expressing two meanings. One was, "Who is this? What should I call him?"
Another meaning is "Can I show up and say hello openly?"
Lu Xiya walked in and said, "Those facial features look familiar, you are..."
Chen Chuan went over to open the car door, helped Yang Jiaqi get into the car, and introduced casually: "This is my cousin Lu Xiya. Cousin, let's go."
After saying that, Chen Chuan also got in the car and started the car.
Lu Xiya stood there, watching the car drive away slowly, feeling surprised and confused.
…
Driving on the road in Chengdu, you can already feel the laziness, decadence, pink, leisurely mood, fireworks, markets, and customs. This kind of flavorful city has many indescribable temptations that are crowded in front of the world. .
Chen Chuan and Yang Jiaqi discussed it and unanimously decided to go to Kuanzhai Alley for dinner.
Because it is undoubtedly the place with the strongest flavor in Chengdu.
A wide alley is not wide, and a narrow alley is not narrow. There are mostly old houses in the lanes.
"The earliest one can be traced back to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan, built a city in the west wall of the Dacheng according to the Qing system, and stationed Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners officers and soldiers, named "Shaocheng"." Yang Jiaqi said.
The car was parked in the parking area outside, and the two of them couldn't get out of the car and walked in the alley.
Yang Jiaqi casually introduced what she knew, and her knowledge surprised Chen Chuan.
"Do you still know this?" Chen Chuan asked.
She smiled: "Doing variety shows, memorizing scripts for filming, and reading scripts, I will definitely be exposed to these things."
The black walls and green tiles of the buildings in the alley are covered with the dust and smoke of the years. The carved beams and raised eaves and pink gold corridors have lost the golden iron horses of the Shaocheng period, and the faded prosperity has withered. Now after the reconstruction of the old city, there is something different. What kind of style, what kind of prosperity.
Next to an old Western Sichuan courtyard house at No. 25 Kuan Alley, there is a wine flag from an old restaurant with "Zifei" written on it.
Since it was after the New Year, there were not many people and there was no need to book, so the two chose this place.
In fact, it doesn't matter where you eat. Anyway, Yang Jiaqi also knows that today is not the end of just one meal.
The two men gently clicked the iron ring on the wooden door and pushed it open with a "squeak" sound. Time seemed to have been stretched out for thousands of years.
In the courtyard, the hustle and bustle of the city and the tall buildings gradually fade away. Peace and quiet linger in my heart.
"Nian Gengyao's old residence." Yang Jiaqi said.
Chen Chuan looked at the yard and saw the koi carp in the stone jar, the birdcage hanging under the eaves, and the yellow leaves falling on the blue bricks. Everything that caught his eye really had an ancient charm.
However, Chen Chuan has been to many good places, and he doesn't have much impression.
The two of them ordered a set meal worth RMB 3,080 per person, and enjoyed the pipa, guzheng and face-changing performances along the way. Including the service fee, they spent less than RMB 10,000.
Regarding this meal, which is said to be the most expensive Sichuan cuisine, actor Yang commented that "the presentation is exquisite, the taste is okay, the service is good, and there are not many surprises."
Chen Chuan thought so.
During the meal, I learned from the chat that actor Yang came to Chengdu this time to take on a time-travel-themed ancient costume fairy tale drama, and it also has a female protagonist. It tells the story of a modern female fencing champion who traveled to another world and started working as a maid in a big family, and then gradually became an immortal.
"This drama is very demanding. I have to practice fencing. The crew hired specialized fencers to teach me. They teach and practice every day. Then I have to serve people as a maid and do dirty and tiring work." She said.
Chen Chuan thought that he had just obtained [True·Swordsmanship Mastery·Weakness Strike], and said, "I may be able to help you. To be honest, I am an expert in fencing."
"Are you an expert? I haven't heard you say that, but seeing as your physical fitness is so good, you should be great, right?" she said.
"Go to my place later and teach you."
"Yeah. Is it a hotel? Do you have a house in Chengdu? I do have a house here, but it's smaller. If you don't mind, you can go to my place." Yang Jiaqi said.
"Look where it is closest, mine is at Luhu Lake." Chen Chuan said.
"My place must be close. Mine is at Jiaozi Mansion. Let's go there after we finish eating. I've finished eating, and you." She wiped her mouth and fingers with a wet wipe.
"Then let's go."
Jiaozi Mansion is located on Jiaozi Avenue in the High-tech Zone. It is a two-building high-rise high-end apartment building.
Yang Jiaqi bought a three-bedroom apartment on the 41st floor of Building 3 with an area of 186 square meters.
The two drove here, entered the elevator and went upstairs.
This three-bedroom apartment decorated with high-grade gray is obviously not occupied on weekdays, but it is kept clean because the housekeeping company comes to clean the dust every two weeks.
In this gray space, Chen Chuan felt a sense of tranquility.
Gray walls, white marble TV background wall, light gray curtains, dark gray wall-mounted TV cabinets, white coffee tables and gray sofas, various shades of gray, grand yet very restrained, quiet and peaceful The home environment is full of elegance and quality.
Yang Jiaqi brought a cup of hot drink and asked Chen Chuan to sit down and rest first. She was going to take a shower.
This was Chen Chuan's first time visiting a female celebrity's home, and he felt strangely strange. In addition, since coming to Chengdu, his life has been relatively quiet and he has not had any contact with girls. Looking at her graceful back walking towards the bathroom, I think of some of her film and television works, and I feel like I don't know if this moment is reality or a drama.
While waiting, I felt relaxed and happy in this super-high apartment, overlooking the city scenery, and smelling the wind blowing in from the inverted windows.
I don't know how much time passed, but I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Yang Jiaqi standing a few steps away, covered with a layer of translucent gauze and standing gracefully out of the bath. Although she was in her early thirties, her skin condition and body shape were... Excellent.
"It was just the right time to meet you in Chengdu," she said.
"Why is it just right?" Chen Chuan asked.
"It's Valentine's Day tomorrow, and I happen to be free for the next three days. What do you have to teach me, and you can teach me enough in these three days?"
This day is February 13th.
Because the movie that Yang Jiaqi was going to film, the heroine was a modern fencer, so Chen Chuan, who had just mastered swordsmanship, happened to teach her. What surprised Chen Chuan was that she was able to achieve success in the film and television industry. She was really smart. In fencing, many difficult moves can be mastered by teaching them twice. Moreover, it didn't take long from being passively attacked at the beginning to actively fighting back.
For Chen Chuan, the advanced version of sword mastery has the special effect of attacking weak points. This special effect is very powerful and can defeat the opponent completely.
…
In the next three days, there is Valentine's Day. But not many people celebrate this festival now.
Moreover, there is the buff of [30 days of rest and recuperation], and there is no holiday gift package. But because the [Business Plan·Loss Edition] is powerful enough and can provide billions of capital rebates, the [30 Days of Recuperation and Recuperation] also offered in the [Year-Opening Collection] is acceptable.
Moreover, this buff can also provide 1 million in funds per day. This fund is enough for food and drink.
For Yang Jiaqi, her three days are quite full.
It can be said that I lived a very fulfilling life. In her own words, "I haven't felt so fulfilled in a long time."
She also likes to play games, and there is an LPL team's home court in Chengdu, so on the afternoon of February 14, the two drove to the team's home court in Dongjiao Memory and watched the game together.
Tickets are not expensive, and the best seats only cost 180 yuan per person.
The venue is not big, it can accommodate 600 people, but the atmosphere is good.
Yang Jiaqi wore a mask, but no one recognized her.
After each game, a host will interview the players who performed well in the game.
Chen Chuan looked at the female host in a silver dress who walked onto the stage and felt that she looked familiar.
"Do you know him?" Yang Jiaqi leaned over and asked softly.
Chen Chuan couldn't confirm it. It wasn't until the female host introduced herself as "Wanwan" that Chen Chuan suddenly realized that it was indeed her.
This girl is also from Qin University. She is a senior student in the same class as Qin Xiang. According to the campus official website, she was once a certified campus beauty of the school.
Chen Chuan said to Yang Jiaqi: "This host is from our school."
"That's quite a coincidence. Do you have a deep or shallow relationship with her?" Yang Jiaqi asked.
"It doesn't matter at all, but it does have a little relationship. She is with a male classmate in our class and is getting married." Chen Chuan said.
"Then your classmate must be outstanding." She said.
"This is where the confusion lies..."
Chen Chuan was still puzzled. Zhang Junyi is indeed an ordinary person. If you want to say excellent, it depends on how you define excellence. He is an honest and motivated person.
But having said that, things like feelings are quite difficult to measure with common sense, and sometimes you can’t even get it right.
At this time, Yang Jiaqi answered a call. She just listened, then hummed a few times and hung up.
She said: "I need to meet a stuntman, because I will definitely not be able to do some professional fencing moves, so I need to find a stuntman of similar size."
"I've given you special training for a few days, but you still can't do it well?" Chen Chuan said.
Yang Jiaqi smiled: "Although you are great and can teach well, it requires a lot of muscle strength. Although I can do many movements, I am not strong enough, so it definitely doesn't taste like that. But if you are willing to suffer and continue to teach, I will teach you in a while. Go back and continue.”
Seeing that Chen Chuan didn't respond, she asked coquettishly: "Are you willing to suffer the consequences and continue?"
"Who doesn't want to..." Chen Chuan said.
