The group of people along with Zhou Hai were very busy. In order not to disturb them, Zu Qi silently retreated to the bed where Qiao Yang was lying and sat down quietly.
Half an hour later, a rich table of home-cooked food appeared in Zu Qi’s sight.
What was even more amazing was that when Qiao Yang smelled the smell, he suddenly opened his eyes, almost jumped out of bed like a carp, ran to the dining table and sat down to wait for the meal.
Zhou Hai had a warm and bright smile on his face, and he treated Zu Qi with an unprecedented cordial attitude. His eyes of adoration were as if he were looking at his reborn parent, and he waved to Zu Qi.
“Xiao Zu, you’re welcome, come and eat.”
Zu Qi was really stunned by the extremely weird scene in front of him, and refused without thinking: “Thank you, I ate in the restaurant downstairs, you can eat, don’t worry about me.”
Since Zu Qi said so, Zhou Hai and others were no longer polite, and the group of people gathered around the small table to have dinner.
Among them, Qiao Yang ate the most seriously. His expression was serious and solemn, as if he was attending an extremely important life event. Every bite of food he put into his mouth was chewed carefully, and he ate two bowls of rice in one go.
As if aware of Zu Qi’s gaze, Qiao Yang turned his head unconsciously, just in time to catch Zu Qi’s eyes looking at him thoughtfully.
Immediately afterwards, Qiao Yang’s originally fair face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He curled his lips at Zu Qi in embarrassment and hesitated for a while before saying: “You really don’t want to eat it? The mushrooms you brought are delicious.”
“I’m full.” Zu Qi declined with a smile.
Unconsciously, the time reached eleven o’clock in the evening, and Zu Qi suddenly remembered the Lucky Treasure family was still in his room and Tang Yukuan was also waiting for his call, so he quickly stood up to say goodbye to Qiao Yang and Zhou Hai.
Before leaving, Zu Qi thought for a while and said: “These mushrooms were given to me by my friend. My friend said they are not poisonous, but whether they are poisonous or not has yet to be verified, so I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up.”
After saying that, Zu Qi hurried away.
Back in the room, the brightly lit room was so quiet that you could hear a pindrop, and you could still vaguely hear the whistling wind outside the window.
He had to say that Zhou Hai was very good at scaring people. Less than an hour after Zu Qi arrived, he felt as if he had walked away from the gate of hell. When he returned to the familiar environment, he found that the clothes on his back were soaked through at some point.
But at this time, he couldn’t care so much. He walked into the bedroom in a hurry and saw A Tao and A Shu holding three children and sitting as quietly as chickens on the huge fabric sofa. When he got closer, he realized that they were shivering, which seemed a bit pitiful at first glance.
“Brother Zu Qi!” Dabao cried softly, stumbling into Zu Qi’s arms, “Are you okay? That uncle was so fierce just now, he scared us to death!”
Erbao and Sanbao held Zu Qi’s arms and legs and echoed: “That uncle is fierce!”
When the worried old father Zu Qi heard the words of the Three Lucky treasures, he was moved to tears.
He could be said to have corrected the Northeastern accents of these three little ones.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished thinking about it, Dabao, who had not waited for his response for a long time, tugged on his trouser leg in a panic, his face turning red from suppressing it, and he couldn’t help but say: “What’s wrong, little brother? Don’t be scared to the point of peeing.”
Zu Qi: “…”
It’s amazing, even the Internet phrase “scared enough to pee” was used so smoothly.
If Tang Yukuan was really A Kuan whom the Three Lucky Treasures knew, then he really had to talk to Tang Yukuan in the future.
That’s right!
Tang Yukuan!
Only then did Zu Qi remember the photos he had secretly taken this morning. He was so busy that he picked up his mobile phone and opened the photo album, then he showed the photo of Tang Yukuan to the Three Lucky treasures: “Do you know this uncle?”
Upon hearing this, A Tao and A Shu also came over curiously.
Dabao squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time. Suddenly he was stunned and whispered: “Is it A Kuan?” He was so excited that he hugged Zu Qi’s arm and jumped up and down, “It’s really A Kuan! He is A Kuan!”
Dabao and Er Bao were happy for a while, but Sanbao, who had always remained silent, suddenly said: “He is not A Kuan.”
“Why?” Erbao said he didn’t understand. “He looks exactly like A Kuan.”
Sanbao shook his head and said, “No, A Kuan doesn’t look like that at all.”
Zu Qi thought Sanbao meant A Kuan and Tang Yukuan’s facial features were different, or his temperament was different. After waiting for a long time, he could only hear Sanbao say seriously: “This uncle is too old. Our A Kuan is still a little brother and has not experienced such vicissitudes of life.”
“…” Zu Qi couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
He didn’t know how Tang Yukuan would react when he heard Sanbao’s words. He was afraid he would be so angry that he would jump up to three meters high.
Children’s eyesight was not very accurate after all, so Zu Qi showed Tang Yukuan’s photo to A Tao and A Shu. A Tao and A Shu frowned and identified it for half a minute, and finally said with certainty that this person was A Kuan.
“I don’t know what he went through after he left, but no matter how his appearance and clothing has changed, he is still A Kuan, and people who are familiar with him can recognize him at a glance.” A Tao said.
Zu Qi put away his phone and sighed.
In fact, he didn’t dare to believe that Tang Yukuan was A Kuan, because A Kuan was an enthusiastic and cheerful young man in the auspicious Sanbao’s mouth. On the other hand, the Tang Yukuan Zu Qi saw that day was decadent and negative, sinking in the dark swamp…
Zu Qi’s eyes swept across the faces of the Three Lucky treasures with different expressions, and then his gaze fell on A Tao and A Shu who were silent. After which he said, “Do you want to see A Kuan?”
A Tao crossed his arms over his chest, then he asked with both anticipation and apprehension: “Can we still see him?”
“Of course.” Zu Qi nodded, and before A Tao and A Shu could show ecstatic expressions, he suddenly changed the subject, “But the premise is that he can still accept your existence.”
The light in A Tao and A Shu’s eyes gradually dimmed, and they nodded slightly without speaking.
“It won’t be long before I meet A Kuan. I will tell you in advance when the time comes. I will then bring you out, and you can just hide in the dark and observe.” Zu Qi sighed, “If A Kuan still remembers you, that’s the best and it couldn’t be better.”
That way, he could ask Tang Yukuan to help take care of the fruit orchard.
Tang Yukuan was short of money, and he was the only person besides Zu Qi who knew about the existence of space so far. He was thus the most suitable partner.
Before sending the family of five back to space, Zu Qi collected a lot of snacks from the hotel refrigerator and stuffed them with the Three Lucky treasures, and also asked the hotel waiter to deliver some packaged hot dishes.
He used the same method to send the family of five carrying large and small bags of food into the space.
Perhaps because they felt that they had taken too many things from Zu Qi, A Tao and A Shu both had blushing cheeks and seemed very embarrassed, and asked Zu Qi if there was anything he needed help with.
Zu Qi reflexively prepared to answer no. But as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and turned abruptly: “If you have free time, can you help me pick mushrooms in the forest?”
“Okay, okay.” A Shu nodded quickly.
After the negotiation was completed, the first thing Zu Qi did after returning to reality was to pick up his mobile phone and dial Tang Yukuan’s number. At this time, the time on the wall clock had already pointed to twelve o’clock in the evening.
Fortunately, Tang Yukuan was not asleep yet. He seemed to be playing with his mobile phone. He quickly answered the call before the beep could ring.
“You have finally figured it out.” Tang Yukuan said with a smile, “Do you know how nervous I was now? In three minutes it will be the next day, and it would have passed the time range you asked to consider. It was almost like I was waiting to see my husband. It’s really a shame.”
Zu Qi couldn’t help but feel complicated when he thought of the Tang Yukuan being A Kuan business. He calmed down and replied with a smile, “When can you sign the contract?”
“I can do it at any time.” At the end, he added, “Of course, the sooner the better. I can’t wait to fly to you at this time with all the prepared documents and information.”
Zu Qi knew that Tang Yukuan was serious about what he said, so he also seriously opened his mouth and said, “I will find time to find you as soon as possible. Let’s have a good talk about such an important matter.”
Tang Yukuan smiled and said, “What are we talking about? Are we talking about love?”
“…” Zu Qi didn’t know how Heng Jingchen could stand Tang Yukuan’s glib tone. He coughed twice and said, “Let’s talk about other things.”
Tang Yukuan said, “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”
….
It was because Zu Qi had just come back after a vacation, sp he could only stay in the crew filming peacefully for a short period of time.
Zu Qi asked Tang Yukuan to wait for him for half a month, but even so, he transferred 70% of the selling price to Tang Yukuan’s account the next day after making the decision.
At noon that day, Tang Yukuan was extremely surprised when he saw the payment text message. He quickly called Zu Qi to ask about the matter. When he learned that the money was from Zu Qi, he was silent for a long time.
“How do you know my bank card number?” Tang Yukuan asked.
“I asked Heng Jingchen for it.” Zu Qi said directly without hiding it from Tang Yukuan, “Actually, Heng Jingchen has told me about your family situation. You are his friend, and he is my friend, so I believe in you, and to be honest, I also need your help.”
Tang Yukuan was stunned, and suddenly burst into self-deprecating laughter. He said, “How can I, a useless person who has accomplished nothing, be able to help you?”
“You can help me a lot,” Zu Qi said calmly, “You will understand after we meet and talk in detail next time.”
Tang Yukuan didn’t understand what Zu Qi meant. He didn’t ask any more questions and just hung up the phone obediently.
Tang Yukuan could wait, but Zhou Hai was getting more and more anxious day by day.
Ever since Zhou Hai took three mushrooms from Zu Qi that night, his attitude toward Zu Qi had instantly changed 180 degrees. Every time he saw Zu Qi, he was so affectionate that he praised Zu Qi and almost offered himself to him.
At first, everyone in the crew looked shocked as if they had seen a ghost. Later, after hearing Qiao Yang’s assistant tell the story, they all suddenly realized.
Everyone in the crew could see how magical those mushrooms were. Even though they didn’t taste the mushrooms, judging from the reaction of actor Qiao who didn’t want to eat or drink after eating the mushrooms, those mushrooms should really be the best.
It was a pity that no matter how good the mushrooms were, they will be eaten one day. Just after a week, all three mushrooms Zu Qi gave him went into his stomach.
