The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

On New Year's Eve, the driver of the Ye family came to Ye Zexi's villa early in the morning to pick Ye Zexi up to the Ye's house for the New Year.

This time, Ye Zexi prepared a lot of gifts for the other three at home, and when he got out of the car, Yan Man even came out to help.

For this time Ye Zexi went home and brought such a bunch of gifts, the expressions of the other three people were not as surprised as before.

Even when Ye Haoyan got the gift box, he didn't hold back, and secretly opened a small crack, wanting to see what the gift was.

After seeing another pair of brand new limited edition sneakers, Ye Haoyan's eyes brightened, and he looked at Ye Zexi a little excitedly, not knowing what to say for a while.

Finally, Yan Man asked: "Did you say thank you?"

Ye Haoyan woke up from his daydream, and said to Ye Zexi sincerely and earnestly for the first time: "Thank you brother!"

Ye Zexi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Since he didn't like sneakers very much, if these sneakers could be used to create a good relationship, he would not mind giving them away, "If you like, you can go to my house to pick up a few pairs. All of them are in the cabinet in my room, so you can take any that you like."

Hearing this, Ye Haoyan became even more excited: "Can I?"

Ye Zexi nodded and said: "Of course."

Ye Haoyan tried to strike while the iron was hot: "Then I will go over to your house in two days!"

Ye Zexi thought for a while: "Anytime before the Lantern Festival."

Because he was already thinking about spending the holiday abroad, it happened that the flight ticket was booked the day after the Lantern Festival.

Ye Haoyan nodded like a rattle.

Yan Man next to him looked at her stupid son and sighed inwardly.

She was sure that if it weren't for dinner and he couldn't leave now, Ye Haoyan could not wait to rush to Ye Zexi's villa to get his shoes.

Not promising!

She lowered her head and looked at the box in her hand. This was a new set of jewelry that Ye Zexi gave her, and the corner of Yan Man's mouth turned up without restraining it.

She thought about it again, it seemed that she couldn't say that Ye Haoyan is not promising.

It was true that Ye Zexi is different from before. Not only did he speak in a polite manner, but the gifts he gave are also in line with her wishes.

Look at Ye Jianbin on the sofa again.

He was even happier.

This was probably the first time that Ye Zexi was sitting on the sofa with Ye Haoyan sitting next to him. It was rare for the brothers not to cut each other's throat, and they were chatting together.

Ye Jianbin had imagined this scene many times, and now he finally saw it, how could he not feel emotional.

At noon, Yan Man personally cooked a table full of dishes that Ye Zexi likes to eat. What was placed in front of Ye Zexi was the dried fish that he has been thinking about for a long time.

After a meal, the family was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Ye Haoyan even invited Ye Zexi to the game room to play games for an afternoon.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Jianbin also took out the red envelopes that he had prepared in the morning and gave them to Ye Zexi and Ye Haoyan.

Yan Man also prepared a red envelope, but there was also a gift box for Ye Zexi.

Ye Haoyan was shocked when he saw it, "Mom, why don't I have one?"

Yan Man glanced at him and asked with a cold face: "Did you make it to the top 20 in the final exam?"

Ye Haoyan fell silent in an instant, and turned his head aggrievedly.

It's the New Year, who would ask about the final exam result?

Can he still have a good year!

This question was of course beyond doubt.

This year's New Year's Eve was the smoothest New Year that the Ye family had had in many years.

Both Ye Jianbin and Yan Man were very happy.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Zexi got up and said that he should go back.

Yan Man rarely offered to let Ye Zexi stay at home, and she would make dumplings for everyone tomorrow morning.

Ye Zexi refused with a smile.

Although both Yan Man and Ye Jianbin treated him well, Ye Zexi was used to being alone, and he wanted to go back to watch anime soon.

Although Ye Jianbin was a little unhappy, he didn't stop him either.

He knew that Ye Zexi was able to go home and had a New Year's Eve dinner with them as usual, which was already a big improvement.

They still have a long time in the future, so they can take it slowly.

After Yan Man was sure that Ye Zexi decided to leave, she got up and went to the kitchen.

There were a lot of small fried fish today, and many of them were sealed in a vacuum bag by her as soon as they were fried. It is convenient for Ye Zexi to take them home.

Of course, there was not just dried fish. There were also some dishes prepared by Yan Man like braised chicken feet and duck feet, and some small snacks, all of which Yan Man had packed.

Ye Zexi was waiting for Yan Man's small fried dried fish, and his eyes lit up for a moment when he quickly took it.

Yan Man noticed this and couldn't help but curl up her mouth and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, you can call me at any time. I'll make it and have someone take it to you."

Hearing these words, Ye Zexi's eyes widened: "Is it okay?"

Yan Man smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Ye Zexi was not being too polite, and said quickly: "Then I'm going to trouble Auntie!"

Ye Jianbin still asked the driver to send Ye Zexi back.

On New Year's Eve, there were fewer cars on the streets.

Many shops are also closed, every home is being lit up with warm lights, while the street is deserted and quiet.

Ye Zexi's black eyes were filled with sparks, and there was still dried fish on the seat next to him.

Even Ye Zexi's coat was still dipped in the unique fragrance of the Ye Residence.

Ye Zexi's eyes curled a little, and his expression had a rare gentleness.

He probably understood what it means by the flavor of home.

The car slowly stopped in front of the villa. Ye Zexi had just come out, only to find that the sky had been fluttering with heavy snow.

 

The driver helped move all Ye Zexi's things in, and was about to drive away.

Ye Zexi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you come in and sit for a while, wait until the snow stops, and then drive back?"

The driver smiled and waved his hand. He pointed to the hoarfrost that had been spread on the ground in a short time and said, "Young Master might not know. If I don't leave today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tomorrow. Today the snow will only get heavier, not lighter. "

Ye Zexi smiled: "Really?"

He really didn't know.

The driver smiled and said, "Yes, Young Master, please don't worry about me. I've been driving for many years. It's cold outside, please go back first."

"Okay, then please be careful." Ye Zexi watched the car slowly drive out, then turned back.

At the moment he opened the front door, Ye Zexi suddenly found that the villa next door, which had been empty for several months, finally had lights turned on.

It really is the New Year.

No matter where you are, when this time comes, no matter how far you travel, you will always want to come home.

Ye Zexi didn't pause for too long, he turned around and closed the door of his villa.

Not long after he closed the door, the owner of the villa opposite opened the bedroom curtain.

He Jinyun leaned in front of the window, looked at it quietly for a while, couldn't help but open a small crack of the window, and a piece of snowflakes came into the room.

As soon as the snowflake fell on his palm, it turned into a piece of icy cold water.

He Jinyun curled his eyebrows.

"It's snowing," he murmured.

The huge villa lit up in bright red, but only He Jinyun was alone in this huge villa.

On the dining table behind him, there was an extremely rich New Year's Eve dinner, just that those dishes had gotten cold, yet they were being untouched.

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the sound of fireworks bursting in the sky broke the long silence.

Along with it, there was a constant vibration from the phone.

He Jinyun picked up his phone and returned his blessings in turn.

After replying to all the blessing messages, He Jinyun clicked on his mother's contact, and sent a blessing to her. Soon, He Jinyun also received a reply.

The two chatted for a long time before He Jinyun put away the phone.

When he was hesitating whether to go to tidy up the dining table, He Jinyun seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He picked up the phone that was placed aside and quickly found his father's contact.

After considering it for a long time, He Jinyun sent a message of blessings over.

Only this time, after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the other party reply.

He Jinyun sighed lightly.

The sound of fireworks outside the window continued, and he rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, and finally put down the phone.

Ye Zexi was happy watching the anime, and he heard the continuous sound of fireworks outside the window.

After looking up and admiring the fireworks for a while, Ye Zexi took a picture and posted on Weibo:

 

@Ye Zexi: Happy New Year.

He didn't read the comments of the fans either. When the sound of fireworks outside gradually ceased, Ye Zexi went to wash and go to sleep.

The second day was the first day of the new year.

The snow outside had stopped, and as the driver said, a thick layer of snow had been piled up on the road outside.

Ye Zexi woke up at eleven o'clock, the sun also showed its face at this time, the snow on the road had been shoveled aside, and from time to time he could see children running and playing outside.

The housekeeping auntie also went home for the New Year. Ye Zexi dangled in the quilt for a while before getting up to look for food.

Yesterday, Yan Man packed a lot of dishes for Ye Zexi, he just needed to put them in the microwave and heat them up.

When Ye Zexi entered the kitchen, he realized that he had no rice in the house!

Eating without carbs is only half of the satisfaction.

But ordering takeout was not realistic at this time, after all, it was the first day of the new year, and many restaurants required a reservation in advance.

Ye Zexi looked up at the road outside at this time, but it wasn't difficult to walk.

After struggling for a few seconds, Ye Zexi simply put on a thick down jacket, put on a hat and mask, and went to the local supermarket to see if he could grab a bag of rice.

No matter what, he really couldn't starve himself.

The local supermarket was not far from the villa where Ye Zexi lives. It usually took five minutes to walk.

Today, the road was quite slippery on a snowy day, and Ye Zexi walked for a full ten minutes.

This was the first time Ye Zexi had come to the supermarket here. Usually, the housekeeping auntie would go to buy vegetables, or just called the supermarket directly and asked them to deliver the goods.

When he arrived at the supermarket, Ye Zexi discovered that the supermarket was not only very large, but also had a very luxurious shopping mall inside.

Even though today was the first day of the new year, there were many people in the shopping mall of the supermarket.

Ye Zexi's purpose was very clear, and he took a bag of rice and prepared to go to the checkout.

There was a long line in the checkout line, looking at this line, it looked like it would take a while.

Ye Zexi looked around idly, only to find that a man standing next to him in the line looked familiar.

The man was dressed in a long black trench coat, tall and slender, wearing a hat and mask, only a pair of deep eyebrows were exposed, and he was playing with his phone.

Looking at the man's slender fingers for several seconds, Ye Zexi finally couldn't hold back and took out the phone to send a message to He Jinyun.

"Teacher He, Happy New Year."

He Jinyun was stunned when he received a message from Ye Zexi at first, but he quickly replied, "Happy New Year, what's the matter?"

The moment the man next to him put down his phone, Ye Zexi's WeChat prompt also rang.

Ye Zexi's eyes bent a little, and he replied, "Look to your left."

He Jinyun: "?"

He raised his eyes with uncertainty, and at a glance He Jinyun saw the boy wrapped in a down jacket next to him.

Ye Zexi's eyes were smiling, and he waved at him. Taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he quickly pulled down his mask and made a mouth shape: "It's me!"

He Jinyun laughed instantly and gestured for him to pull up his mask quickly.

Although there were quite a number of celebrity artists living in the area of the Lakeside Villa, the majority of the people were still ordinary people.

Ye Zexi pulled off the mask for a second, and quickly put it back on again. His eyes were in undisguised astonishment: "Teacher He, you live here too."

He Jinyun nodded: "Yeah, I moved here two years ago, but I am busy with work and I rarely come back here." After a pause, he looked at Ye Zexi's bag of rice, "Did you not go home during the New Year?"

Ye Zexi: "I went back for dinner yesterday, so I don't need to go back today. How about you?"

With that said, Ye Zexi glanced at the food in He Jinyun's cart, and there was a dazzling array of them, including the small fish he likes to eat...

Thinking of He Jinyun's craftsmanship, Ye Zexi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Think about it carefully, he hadn't eaten He Jinyun's cooking for months!

He Jinyun smiled: "What a coincidence, I'm also by myself."

Ye Zexi's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at He Jinyun: "You bought so much groceries, can you finish them by yourself?"

How could He Jinyun not understand Ye Zexi's thoughts? He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then do you mind coming over and helping me finish them?"

Ye Zexi nodded his head like a rattle, righteously saying: "Of course I don't mind!"

Not only he doesn't mind, he even wants to stay at He Jinyun's house and eat.

So, the one-person meal ended up being a two-person meal.
