Chapter 339: On the Chain
I thought of the moment when I saw Bai Yuan dragging his luggage and preparing to get on the bus in front of the window.
Xue Ze felt a sense of loss again.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had been getting along so harmoniously and comfortably these days.
This gave Xue Ze the illusion that life was peaceful and tranquil.
This illusion briefly blurred his sense of time.
It made him subconsciously feel that it shouldn't end so quickly.
What followed was an indescribable reluctance.
Bai Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him with flickering eyes.
Her gaze slowly swept across the other person's eyes, which seemed to be hesitant to speak, and reluctant to reveal some complex emotions.
Then it fell on the tip of his nose, which was slightly red from the wind.
Finally, he looked at the other person's empty neck, which was neither wearing a scarf nor a sweater collar.
Noticing that he was wearing thin clothes, I also felt a slight chill on my wrist.
"Why are you coming out wearing so little again?"
Bai Yuan asked while raising her hand to press the back of his hand.
Feeling Xue Ze's low body temperature, he said:
"Did you bring your keys?"
The moment Bai Yuan’s hand pressed on the back of her hand.
Xue Ze only felt as if the places where he was touched by the other party were electrified.
There was a slight feeling of numbness.
As a result, half of his arm became as stiff as wood.
Hearing Bai Yuan's question, Xue Ze subconsciously wanted to answer "I brought it".
His other hand also reflexively reached for his coat pocket.
Just before he touched the key in his pocket, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
The words that were on the tip of my tongue took a turn.
"Did not bring."
He tried his best to sound more sincere when he said this.
His superb acting skills made his words reveal a hint of loss, melancholy and regret.
But he felt guilty for lying in front of Bai Yuan.
Although he had the urge to back off, he forced himself to look into Bai Yuan's eyes.
Just to make it sound sincere.
He managed to hold on with his acting skills and extraordinary psychological quality without dodging at all.
Xue Ze despised himself for being born to be an actor.
He finally reached into his pocket and took something out.
But I didn't want to get nothing.
Xue Ze: ...
The boy's face was dull for a moment.
The original sense of guilt turned into a genuine expression of true feelings.
broken!
I really didn’t bring it!!!
"I left in a hurry and forgot, forgot."
Bai Yuan saw that he looked dejected, like an eggplant hit by frost.
I couldn't help but find it a little funny.
His hand moved from the back of Xue Ze's hand to his bony wrist, grabbed it, and pulled him forward.
"Come on, I'll help you."
Bai Yuan moved, and Xue Ze was led by her, following closely behind her.
Xue Ze looked at his wrist that was held by the other party. He moved his hand hanging in the air and let Bai Yuan pull him all the way back to the door of his home.
When they arrived at the place, Bai Yuan let go of Xue Ze, and under his gaze, he took out two small iron rods from his pocket and inserted them into the keyholes with skillful movements.
Just press it and then pry it upwards.
Only a crisp "click" sound was heard.
The door opened in response.
This whole process took less than twenty seconds, which was more than three times faster than the last time I fumbled around.
It's hard not to wonder if she had secretly practiced at home in the past few days.
Pushing the door open, Bai Yuan put away the small iron rod used to open the door.
Turning back, I saw Xue Ze still standing there, lost in thought, thinking about something.
After Bai Yuan entered the room, he picked up the key from the entrance and turned around to hand it to Xue Ze.
"After I leave, you'd better tie a string to your key and hang it around your neck," she said seriously. "If you forget it next time, you'll really be freezing outside."
When Bai Yuan was around, she allowed him into the house to keep warm and helped him contact the property management to have someone open and lock the door.
You can even bypass the above steps and open the door directly after you have mastered the basic lock-picking skills.
After Bai Yuan leaves, Jiang Yun will take the twins back to where he lives.
By then, the villa will be empty and there will be no other owners willing to move in.
Xue Ze couldn't even find anyone who could help him.
It's so cold today and I'm walking to the property wearing nothing but clothes.
Even if nothing serious happens from the cold, it's still asking for trouble.
"Remember, I'll tie you up later." Xue Ze responded, raised his hand to take the key from Bai Yuan, and held it tightly in his palm. He looked at Bai Yuan seriously and repeated, "Thank you, Miss Bai."
Bai Yuan smiled indifferently, "You're welcome. I won't go in. Can you please bring the piano for me?"
This guitar is not the one Bai Yuan uses most often, but a temporary replacement purchased to kill time during this time.
In every aspect, it is inferior to the original one.
There was no need for Bai Yuan to take it back originally, so even though it was left at Xue Ze's house, he was not in a hurry to get it back.
But since you're already here, just take it with you. There's no point in leaving your things at someone else's house and causing trouble for them.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get it." Hearing this, Xue Ze tightly grasped the key in his hand, walked through the entrance hall and entered the living room.
He took out the violin that Bai Yuan had left here yesterday and carefully put away in the box and handed it to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan took the zither, but before she could say goodbye, Xue Ze handed her a rolled-up piece of paper.
Bai Yuan took it in his hand, unfolded it, and found that it was the manuscript of the song that the two of them had revised together during this period of time.
"This song took time and effort to modify. It belongs to you."
Bai Yuan looked at the manuscript full of his own revised handwriting, rolled up the paper, and handed it back to Xue Ze, "You wrote it, so just use it. Songs are written to be listened to by others. It would be a pity if you don't use it."
Bai Yuan helped Xue Ze revise the song.
One, not for money; two, not for fame.
To her, it was just a way to pass the time.
Its biggest function is to provide emotional value for these few days, and everything else is secondary.
I don't care whether this song has commercial value.
Even if you get it in your hands, it will probably just gather dust and you won't think of a way to publish it.
In this case, it is better to give it to someone who really needs it.
In fact, Xue Ze was a little reluctant to return the manuscript filled with Bai Yuan's handwriting to the other party.
If it wasn't for the lack of time and the fact that I didn't have a copier at home.
He also wanted to make a copy and give the printed copy to Bai Yuan, to keep this handwritten manuscript as a souvenir.
At this moment, Bai Yuan returned the manuscript.
Xue Ze hesitated for only a moment before reaching out to take it. Without folding the paper, he carefully held it in his hand and nodded in response:
"Then it's ours, and our names will be written in the creator column."
He emphasized the word "they".
Xue Ze knew that Bai Yuan's identity was confidential and it was inconvenient for her to be exposed in the spotlight, so he added: "Don't worry, I'll use a pseudonym for you."
Then, he resumed his usual chatterbox behavior, seemingly joking, but actually saying seriously: "When this song becomes really popular, we will split the profits equally!"
Hearing him say this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, you decide."
In fact, he didn't take Xue Ze's words to heart.
It's just a song, and it's already amazing to earn millions or so.
But it could only cover the cost of dresses for two or three banquets, not including jewelry.
At most, it can be considered as her daily expenses and pocket money.
When she takes over Bai's business in the future, the monthly turnover will be more than this amount.
There was really no need for her to care too much.
Since you don't care, you naturally don't care how the other party deals with it.
"You are busy. I'll leave first." After getting the violin back, Bai Yuan said goodbye to Xue Ze again and turned to leave.
At this time, Xue Ze suddenly grabbed her wrist again, and while Bai Yuan looked back in confusion, he stared into her beautiful eyes and asked:
"Can I still ask you for help if I encounter any problems?"
He looked at Bai Yuan with burning eyes and expectation.
Bai Yuan nodded slightly and replied, "Don't you have my WeChat? If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I will get back to you as soon as I see it."
Although she was not completely sure about producing songs, she answered all the questions.
But you can learn later, and if you encounter something you don’t understand, you can always ask someone.
Then you can transfer it to Xue Ze.
After getting Bai Yuan's permission and promise, Xue Ze finally let go of Bai Yuan's wrist with satisfaction, "Then it's settled. When the song is finished, I'll send it to you first."
"Okay." Bai Yuan said.
After talking about the song, Xue Ze scratched his face a little embarrassedly, "Shall I take you home?"
"No need, just stay at home." Hearing that he was about to run out again, Bai Yuan's eyelids jumped and she quickly asked him to stop.
Otherwise, this process of sending and receiving things will not only be endless, but will also put you in a vicious circle.
It would be troublesome if Xue Ze lost the key again and had to lock the door himself.
Xue Ze looked at Bai Yuan's expression, understood his unfinished intention, and felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't insist. "Then take your time. I'll go find a red string and hang the key around my neck."
After seeing Bai Yuan off, he closed the door.
Xue Ze returned to the window facing the Jiang family and stood there for a while.
He watched Bai Yuan busying in and out of the yard after returning, stroking the key that was warm from his body temperature in his hand, and his eyes followed Bai Yuan closely.
Bai Yuan had packed his luggage a day in advance.
Therefore, it didn't take too long. After moving all the luggage that could be moved downstairs, I handed it to Jiang Yun to load into the car. In about ten minutes, the task was completed.
The extra time was used to pack the twins' luggage and load them into the car.
After Bai Yuan left, Jiang Yun decided not to stay in Xiangdong any longer and planned to take the twins back to his permanent residence.
My flight was two hours later than Bai Yuan's, so they could go to the airport together.
It was still early in the morning, well beyond the time for the two children to get up.
At this time, I was forced to wash my face, then I was put in clothes and stuffed into the car.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Ran were like little quails, dozing off and huddling together for warmth.
After Bai Yuan and Jiang Yun loaded all the luggage into the car, they closed the trunk lid.
The two twins also woke up slowly.
After recovering to full health, the first thing they did was to twist each other's elbows, then bounced apart and sat on both sides of the back row.
Jiang Ran: "I want to sit with my cousin!"
Jiang Feng: "I want to sit with my cousin too!!!"
Day after day, he acts like that as soon as he opens his eyes!
Bai Yuan:......
Bai Yuan: Never mind, I’ll just hold on for another half an hour.
Leave them some good memories before you go.
Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze to Jiang Yun, who was walking towards the driver's seat and opening the car door without knowing it.
A trace of sympathy appeared in Bai Yuan's eyes.
Bai Yuan: These are the people we really need to worry about.
Just wish you good luck.
Then, he called Jiang Feng out of the car, brought him water one last time, and sat between them.
Before getting on the bus, Bai Yuan suddenly felt blessed and could keenly sense the gaze from the other end of the road.
She looked in the direction of the source of the sight, and after seeing Xue Ze standing in front of the window, the slight vigilance that had just arisen in her mind slowly relaxed.
Bai Yuan nodded and waved slightly towards the other party, indicating to the other party that he had seen him and also as a final wave of farewell.
Then, he got into the car without any reluctance.
After Jiang Feng got in the car and closed the door, the car drove slowly and turned a corner, completely disappearing from Xue Ze's sight.
Inside the villa.
Xue Ze stared at the direction where Bai Yuan left for a while.
His gaze fell on the villa which had been bustling a few days ago but now had lost its popularity and returned to its endless emptiness.
After a while, Xue Ze left the window.
Following Bai Yuan's reminder before he left, he searched the huge villa for a while and finally found the red rope that came with the box of gold jewelry sent by the endorsement agent.
He first passed the red rope through the hole on the key, and then touched his pocket.
Only then did I realize that I didn't have the habit of smoking and naturally wouldn't carry a lighter with me.
So he went to the kitchen, turned on the gas stove, and adjusted the flame to the minimum power.
Place the knotted end of the red rope over the fire until it melts slightly.
And before the melted substance drips out, lift it up completely and press it firmly on the table.
In this way, you get a sturdy keychain that will not fall off.
After doing all this, Xue Ze put his head into the red rope and put it around his neck.
The rope is neither loose nor tight, just enough to allow the keys to hang naturally below the collar.
Xue Ze raised his hand and touched the surface of the key again, then stuffed it into his collar to hide it.
After being tossed around for a while, the key was no longer as hot as before.
At this moment, the skin against Xue Ze's chest brought a cool touch.
Xue Ze felt the outline of the key through his clothes, but couldn't help taking it out. He lowered his head and looked at it awkwardly for a while before putting it back.
I just felt more and more at ease.
This way, every time he uses the key, he will remember how the key got hung around his neck, and...
Xue Ze's eyes flickered, but his expression was mostly obscured by his half-closed eyelids.
After putting the keys away, he walked back to the piano in the living room and straightened out the manuscript left by Bai Yuan.
After a while, a melodious and rhythmic melody poured out.
After playing it a few times, Xue Ze took out his cell phone and called his agent.
The first time, the other party didn’t answer.
The second time, the other party turned off the phone directly.
I am very determined to refuse to work overtime during holidays.
Xue Ze was not discouraged and wrote another WeChat message to his agent.
"Sister Jin, do you know any music producers? My friend just gave me a song and I'm anxious to get it produced."
After being sent, the message fell on deaf ears.
Obviously, until the end of the holiday, the other party will not take the time to divert her attention from the beach, the sea and the male model to the evil work.
