Chapter 347: Little Guo’s Returning the Favor (Teaser)

Chapter 347: Little Guo’s Returning the Favor (Teaser)


Mo Fei had already known for a while that Yang Huan was going to move out. Despite Yang Huan’s many explanations, she always felt uneasy. So, when she came back this time, Mo Fei still went to visit Yang Huan’s apartment.


Compared to Yang Yi’s small building and Mo Fei’s home in the Binhai District, the more Mo Fei looked at Yang Huan’s apartment, the more she felt she had treated Yang Huan unfairly. So, she immediately asked Mo Xiaojuan to find someone to order better furniture, appliances, and some good daily necessities and managed to stuff this not-so-large apartment full.


“Your big brother, although he usually takes good care of others, in reality, men always have areas where they don’t consider carefully. Necessary appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, he didn’t buy for you. Although you usually eat at home, Ding Xiang might want to cook by herself! Or if you get hungry while studying at night and want to cook something, you won’t be able to find ingredients and tools.”


Yang Huan didn’t want it, but Mo Fei a.n.a.lyzed it with her and didn’t allow Yang Huan to refuse.


Yang Huan and Ding Xiang could only look at each other and smile bitterly.


The two girls actually wanted to keep things simple. Originally, they both came from humble backgrounds, so even if they made do with the old landlord’s furniture, they wouldn’t mind. Even the original conditions were far better than their previous home environment.


After moving out, Ding Xiang’s heart didn’t feel at ease. She felt that not living in the dormitory was wasting nearly 2,000 yuan of accommodation fees for a school year, which made her panic.


But unexpectedly, the current situation of sharing a rental was getting more and more outrageous. Arranged by Yang Yi and Mo Fei, both Yang Huan and Ding Xiang have started living a “luxurious” life. How could they feel at ease?


Even Yang Huan, as she watched these thousands of yuan worth of furniture being moved in, felt her heart jump.


But where does Mo Fei understand what “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” means?


She wholeheartedly wanted to maintain a good sister-in-law relationship with Yang Huan. However, Mo Fei was clumsy in expressing herself, not good at talking, and was usually too busy to go home, so she could only compensate her little sister-in-law in her own way.


Being unable to decline the kind intentions, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang could only accept it with a bitter smile.


This was just a small episode. Mo Fei didn’t have much time to continue adding home stuff for Yang Huan and Ding Xiang. She rested for a day, then hurriedly flew to Shanghai to start the chart-topping journey for the song “Listen to the Sea”.


……


“Cut! Very good, this one pa.s.ses!” Du Yuanlei stood up wearily, clapped her hands, and said, “That’s all for today’s filming. Tomorrow, we will gather all the extras and shoot the remaining scenes, including the ones in the piano practice room. As long as everyone maintains a good state, we should be able to finish shooting by noon!”


“Yeah!” Guo Ziyi, who was sitting in front of the piano on the stage of the auditorium, was the first to exclaim excitedly.


The current Guo Ziyi has a completely different personality from A’Guang who was playing the piano pa.s.sionately in front of the camera just now. This contrast made everyone burst into laughter.


“Teacher Yang, do you have anything to say?” While everyone was packing up, Du Yuanlei politely asked Yang Yi who had come over to observe again today.


“Oh, that’s right, everyone!” Yang Yi clapped his hands, attracting everyone’s attention.


“For more than half a month now, everyone has worked hard. This micro-movie has been shot very smoothly. I know that many people like Little Guo, w.a.n.g Chao, Qin Wen, and so on, haven’t had time to review for their final exams and have been putting all their effort into this film…”


Yang Yi said a few polite and sentimental words before he smiled slightly and said, “But it’s okay. Everyone’s efforts are worth it. This micro-movie will become the pioneering work of online micro-movies, and you will also be recorded in history and remembered by everyone.”


This was not an exaggeration by Yang Yi. It was indeed the truth!


There was no such thing as a micro-movie yet. They were the first to produce it, making them the pioneers in this field. As long as they succeed, the honor they would receive couldn’t be compared to a little bit of film remuneration.


During the simple student days, honor was obviously more attractive than benefits.


So when Yang Yi used this as chicken soup for their souls to motivate them, everyone appeared quite excited and proud.


“Of course! The rewards promised to everyone before will not be lacking. After you guys finish shooting tomorrow, we’ll go to the most luxurious New England International Hotel in Tingshan District for a buffet. While others have their wrap-up dinners at street stalls, we’ll have something different…”


Before Yang Yi could finish speaking, except for the calm Du Yuanlei, everyone else cheered excitedly. Guo Ziyi wasn’t short of money, but he liked to eat, so he was the most enthusiastic in cheering.”


A buffet at the New England International Hotel! It was said that the lunch buffet there costs more than 400 yuan per person, which was much more expensive than any food stall!


“And there’s more!” Yang Yi smiled and said, “After we eat and drink our fill, I will also invite everyone to go to the bar to play.”


Guo Ziyi was shouting excitedly again, and w.a.n.g Chao was also waving his fists excitedly, shouting, “Yang Yi, Yang Yi!”


“Big Brother Yang, I’m fine with the meal, but can I skip the bar? That place isn’t really suitable for me.” Qin Wen moved over and whispered to Yang Yi, not wanting to interrupt others’ excitement.


After all, she was a somewhat famous star. If someone took a picture of her, it wouldn’t be good!


“Of course, that’s completely fine. That was my oversight,” Yang Yi patted his head and said with a smile to Qin Wen.


Yang Yi turned his head and raised his voice to add to everyone, “Of course, the idea of going to the bar was brought up by Guo Ziyi. So, this post-meal activity is voluntary. Those who want to go can sign up with Guo Ziyi. He will organize it and I will take you there. If you don’t like that kind of environment, you can freely make your own arrangements after the buffet.”


Du Yuanlei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t like that kind of environment either.


……


Guo Ziyi wanted to go to the bar for fun, mainly for the novelty of it.1


He was underage and couldn’t go into the bar at all. He had Ding Xiang sneak him in last time. Of course, he only watched at the excitement last time and couldn’t fully enjoy the experience.


This time with such a large group of people, Guo Ziyi didn’t have to worry about not being able to mix in.


However, Guo Ziyi was still very loyal! As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity. Ding Xiang helped him once, and he felt he should return the favor.


After the set was dismissed, Guo Ziyi ran straight to Street Corner’s Coffee Shop to find Ding Xiang and sweetly called out, “Sister Ding Xiang, since you don’t have anything to do tomorrow, why don’t you come with us for a buffet and go to the bar? Consider it me returning you a favor!”


Guo Ziyi was worried that Ding Xiang would be reluctant to spend money, so he cheerfully said, “It’s okay. It’s all Big Brother Yang’s treat. And for the bar activity, there are a few girls who don’t want to go. If you don’t go, it’ll be a waste.”


Yang Yi agreed and others also wanted her to join. Although Ding Xiang had only been to the set twice, everyone knew that this slender girl was the “chef” who had prepared so many delicious foods for them.


“My big brother is treating, how come it counts as you returning a favor to Sister Ding Xiang?” Yang Huan glanced at these two people and deliberately teased Guo Ziyi.


“Uh… well, maybe not returning a favor. I just want to take Sister Ding Xiang out to have some fun.” Guo Ziyi quickly explained.


“Why don’t you take me out to have some fun?” Yang Huan tilted her head and asked with interest.


“Well… isn’t Sister Huan staying at home tomorrow to help Big Brother Yang look after the child?” Guo Ziyi responded quickly.


“Hmph! If you don’t want to invite me, just say it. Anyway, I don’t want to go to that kind of place either.” Yang Huan made a face at Guo Ziyi.


Ding Xiang waited for them to finish before she softly said, “I won’t go tomorrow either. Huanhuan has to take care of Xixi. She can’t handle it alone. I have to help her.”


Yang Huan waved her hand and said with a smile, “No, Sister Ding Xiang, I was just joking. You go have fun with Little Guo! With my big brother there, even if you go to the bar, nothing will happen! As for taking care of Xixi, I can handle it by myself!”


Guo Ziyi also found an excuse and said, “Sister Ding Xiang, you have to go! You know the people inside and can help me get in. Otherwise, if everyone goes in to have fun, and I’m left outside rejected, it would be so pitiful!”


When he said this, the kind-hearted Ding Xiang hesitated.


“Well, Little Guo, you have to take good care of our Sister Ding Xiang!” Yang Huan grinned and helped Ding Xiang make a decision.


“Definitely!” Guo Ziyi patted his chest and said.
