The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

After laughing for two seconds, even though He Jinyun had already eaten, He Jinyun still typed back: "I haven't eaten yet, how about you?"

Ye Zexi's eyes brightened when he saw the message, and he typed, "I haven't eaten yet. How about I order some food and some fresh groceries? What does Teacher He want to eat?"

The smile at the corner of He Jinyun's mouth suddenly deepened.

Does Ye Zexi think that this is tactful enough to prevent anyone from discovering his true intentions?

But according to the logical thinking of normal people, at this time, they should just order takeout.

How can anyone buy groceries and invite others to cook for him at his house?

But He Jinyun didn't expose Ye Zexi, he just replied: "Okay, you can buy something you like, I'm okay with anything."

When Ye Zexi received this message, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he quickly replied: "Okay, then, Teacher He, come back quickly!"

He Jinyun: "Yeah."

Putting down the phone, He Jinyun reached out to save the files and turned off the laptop. It seemed that he would have to hurry.

Lest some little cat wait anxiously.

*

The cooking aunt knew that Ye Zexi was coming back, and she bought fresh groceries early in the morning. Now the refrigerator at home was full of vegetables and meat that Ye Zexi likes to eat.

The only thing that was missing was the fish.

Ye Zexi clicked on the delivery app, only to find that the fresh fish and seafood market in the nearby supermarket had been sold out.

The next closest location to home, the delivery time would take one hour.

Ye Zexi hesitated in an instant.

He Jinyun also said that he would be home in about an hour. If he happened to meet the delivery guy and he saw that there were only fish in the delivery, would it look like he was being deliberate?

But if there was no fish for dinner today...

Ye Zexi's brows instantly frowned. Teacher He was going to cook for him. If there were no fish, wouldn't it be such a waste?

At the end of the day, he decided that he would explain to He Jinyun that he had already ordered vegetables from a different market, and the vegetables got delivered first.

And, how could there be such a coincidence, who said that He Jinyun would definitely meet the delivery brother who delivered the fish?

But what Ye Zexi didn't expect was that there were not only such coincidences in the world, but also even more coincidental things.

An hour later, the doorbell rang.

Ye Zexi thought it was the delivery brother who had arrived, and said: "Thank you, please leave your things at the door."

After waiting for a while, Ye Zexi did not hear an answer from outside the door either.

It was estimated that the delivery brother had already put the things down and left, so Ye Zexi paused the anime and slowly got up to go to the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a familiar face instantly appeared into his sight.

Ye Zexi was stunned for a moment. Before he could think about what he was going to say, He Jinyun's voice rang out——

"I haven't been home for more than a month. I forgot to contact the housekeeper to clean up the place today. How about we cook at your house and watch the video on the side?"

With that, He Jinyun seemed to have thought of something suddenly, raised the delivery bag in his hand, and smiled towards Ye Zexi: "Yes, I just ran into the delivery man at the door, this happened to be delivered. So I took it from him."

"Did you buy the fish?" He Jinyun said, "It's still fresh."

Ye Zexi: "..."

What it means to get struck by lightning!

This is the epitome of it!

Seeing Ye Zexi's embarrassed expression, He Jinyun had a smile in his eyes, but he still tried to keep a composure: "Can I come in?"

Ye Zexi returned to his senses in an instant, and he quickly bent over to take a pair of slippers to He Jinyun, nodded and said, "Yes, you can..."

After a pause, Ye Zexi still wanted to say something to save his embarrassment, as he hesitatingly said: "Um, the fish, it is from another market, so..."

"So it was delivered separately from the vegetables?" He Jinyun's eyes flashed with a smile, helping Ye Zexi to complete it.

"Yes!" Ye Zexi nodded quickly, "Yes, that's it."

He Jinyun's eyes deepened with a smile, without saying anything, put down the laptop, and asked Ye Zexi, "Where is the kitchen? Let me cook first."

Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked He Jinyun for not continuing with this topic anymore, and took He Jinyun into the kitchen.

Thinking that the grocery bought by the auntie was still in the refrigerator, Ye Zexi quickly added: "Oh, and I put other groceries in the refrigerator ahead of time, so that the food won't be spoiled."

Although at this temperature, the vegetables would not go bad if left indoors for two days.

He Jinyun just placed the fish into the water basin. Hearing this, he glanced back at Ye Zexi. He happened to see that the various vegetables in the refrigerator were cut and packed in transparent lunch boxes, and they were neatly covered in saran wrap.

Nowadays the market would help you wash the vegetables and pack them according to the number of meals?

Why didn't he know it?

He Jinyun glanced at Ye Zexi with a smile.

When Ye Zexi turned his head, he happened to meet He Jinyun's deep, smiling black eyes, and he felt a little guilty in an instant.

But He Jinyun just glanced at Ye Zexi, and quickly said, "Well, it's more convenient to have the vegetables nicely cut. Thank you for your hard work. Do you have scissors? I'll take care of the fish first."

Ye Zexi quickly pulled out the scissors from the cabinet and handed them to He Jinyun. At the same time, he felt even more guilty.

He Jinyun took it, naturally took up the apron on the side and put it on, and skillfully began to handle the fish.

At this time, Ye Zexi was quite embarrassed to leave, so he stayed by to help.

But it was true that as He Jinyun said, it was a big help that the vegetables were cut beforehand.

After an hour, plates of delicious dishes were served on the table.

When he finished eating, He Jinyun went home and took the projector. The two sat in the living room and watched the original editing together.

 

Although Ye Zexi already knew the ending of the movie, he still had some expectations when he thought of watching the initial edited product.

Originally, Ye Zexi had saved some fried fish to eat while watching the movie, but when the movie started to play, he had forgotten that there were fried fish.

Although He Jinyun said that this was only the initial edited version of the movie, both the plot and the soundtrack were very complete.

Even if it weren't for some directors who strive for perfection, this film might have been sent for review long ago.

The two started watching the movie at exactly eight o'clock, and after finishing watching it, it was ten o'clock in the evening.

The last sigh came out, then the theme song followed, and Ye Zexi's eyes suddenly became a little wet.

He Jinyun handed over a tissue.

Ye Zexi took it, sniffed, sighed, and said something completely opposite to the previous mood: "Teacher He..."

"Huh?" He Jinyun tilted his head to look at him.

Ye Zexi's beautiful eyes were red, and he said with a dumb voice: "I said before that you will definitely receive blades from the fans after the movie is released. Now I take back this sentence."

He Jinyun was a little amused: "What made you change your mind?"

Ye Zexi folded the tissue and pressed it at the corner of his eye. Then he turned his head and looked at He Jinyun quite seriously: "I mean, it's not that fans won't send you blades, but fans may be like me. I'm crying so bad right now that I don't have the strength to toss the blades at you!"

After all, he knew the ending in advance, and he also participated in the movie, so Ye Zexi was mentally prepared.

But what about the fans who haven't seen the ending in advance?

Thinking of this, Ye Zexi suddenly felt a strange sense of refreshment in his heart.

Ye Zexi seemed to suddenly understand He Jinyun's evil taste.

Probably he had this thought of "I'm being abused emotionally, but the thought of more people will be abused along with me,I feel a sense of satisfaction."

Looking at He Jinyun on the side, he was completely amused by Ye Zexi's words, and the hands covering the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

Ye Zexi took a deep breath, stroked his agitating chest, picked up the fried fish on the table, and vented his anger while eating.

At the same time, he also started to look forward to the day when the movie was actually released. Thinking of this, Ye Zexi asked: "Teacher He, has the movie been confirmed for release time?"

He Jinyun finished laughing at this time. After calming down his mood, he said, "Yeah, July 1st, the promotion will begin in May. In a few days, your agent should receive the notices, and the schedule will be arranged at that time. It will be sent to you together."

Ye Zexi nodded, and then asked as if thinking of something, "Isn't it because Teacher He will become very busy during the next period of time?"

He Jinyun nodded: "Well, today should be the last day of leisure."

Ye Zexi frowned, looked down at the fried fish on the plate, took a bite and said, "Does that mean we won't have any chance to meet afterwards?"

The thought that it would take a long time to eat the fried fish, Ye Zexi felt uncomfortable and tormented in his heart.

He Jinyun focused his eyes on Ye Zexi's frowning eyebrows, and said amusedly: "Isn't that we're still recording "Foodie Journal"?"

Thinking of this, Ye Zexi's eyes lit up, and his frowning eyebrows were also loosened up: "Yes, I almost forgot!"

"I heard from Director Zhang that there will be new special guests joining in the next episode." He Jinyun said.

Hearing these words, Ye Zexi felt a little dangerous in an instant. He hurriedly said: "That won't work, Teacher He, you have to promise me! No matter who the next special guests are, you have to team up with me! I have already reserved my spot first."

Only with Teacher He could you be able to eat and drink to your heart's content. After the first recording, Ye Zexi had figured out this rule.

He Jinyun raised his eyebrows: "Can this be reserved?"

"Why not?" Ye Zexi said categorically, "Of course, for the sake of fairness, no matter who will be the special guests in the next episode, I will firmly reject him. How is that?"

After thinking about it, He Jinyun smiled and nodded: "If this is the case, it's not impossible."

"Deal!" Ye Zexi hurriedly stretched out his hand.

He Jinyun smiled and shook hands with Ye Zexi. The young man's skin was delicate, but his fingertips were slightly cold.

There were other work arrangements tomorrow, and He Jinyun could not stay at Ye Zexi's house for a long time. The two sat and talked for a while, before He Jinyun got up and left.

Ye Zexi was going to send him out, but He Jinyun shook his head and refused: "It's windy at night, and it's only a short walk to my home. You can rest first."

Ye Zexi didn't insist anymore, and the door was closed. After a while, Ye Zexi saw the light on the villa next door.

Ye Zexi stood up, couldn't help but walk to the window, looking at the light next door, the corners of his mouth curled up, it was really just a few steps away.

It seemed that he saw Ye Zexi by the window, and there was also a figure in the opposite window.

The next second, Ye Zexi's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from He Jinyun just now.

"Go to bed early."

Ye Zexi replied, "You too, Teacher He. Good night!"

He Jinyun: "Good night, see you in "Foodie Journal"."

The smile on Ye Zexi's lips deepened: "See you in "Foodie Journal"!"
