“They should already be filming it now, right?”
“Let’s wait for tonight to watch!”
“ 1!”
…
At ho.
It was past 7 AM.
Zhang Ye was up very early today because he had an appointnt for an interview. However, he did not expect that Yan i and her team would be even earlier. He had just opened his eyes when the doorbell downstairs rang.
“Oh, they’re here?”
“I think so.”
“Can you answer the door, Old Wu?”
“OK.”
Wu Zeqing went to open the door.
Zhang Ye yawned as he made his way down the stairs. He and Yan i were already very familiar with each other as they had worked together during the Spring Festival Gala.
Outside the door, a casually dressed Yan i was standing there with a smile. Behind her was only a single caraman. The cara was already on and recording. From the ti Yan i had knocked on the door, the cara was already recording. They were here to docunt Zhang Ye’s day at ho and work after all, so it would surely be recording throughout the day.
Yan i smiled and said, “Chief Wu, happy New Year.”
Wu Zeqing smiled. “You’re here? Co on in.”
The cara focused on her for a short while.
“Ay, sorry to disturb you.” Yan i stepped into the house and said with her head lowered, “I have to change into slippers, right?”
Zhang Ye ca up to them and said generously, “Hai, there’s no need. Just walk around as you like and treat this as your own ho.”
The cara shifted focus to Zhang Ye.
Yan i smiled and said, “Director Zhang, I’ll be following you around today. Wherever you go to, I’ll be coming along too. Whatever you eat, I will be having it as well, so please do take care of .”
Zhang Ye said, “That depends on how big of an appetite you have.”
Yan i smiled. “I can eat quite a lot.”
Zhang Ye said, “Then let think if I should take care of you.”
The few of them laughed.
Yan i said, “There’s actually nothing too special about today’s interview, just go on with your daily life as usual and chat with when you can spare so ti. You can ignore when you’re busy, but I’ll be following and observing you.”
Zhang Ye blinked and said, “Just go on with my daily life as usual?”
Yan i nodded and smiled. “Yes, we want to capture the realest side of how you live.”
Zhang Ye turned around and walked away. “Alright.”
“Oh? Where are you going?” Yan i was taken aback.
Zhang Ye said, “I’ll head back to bed for another two hours. I usually sleep until 9 AM.”
Yan i giggled, “Pfft!”
The caraman also burst out laughing!
Wu Zeqing grinned. “Ignore him, that’s how he is.”
Zhang Ye was just kidding anyway, so of course he didn’t really head back to bed.
Yan i looked at Wu Zeqing. “Is your husband always like this?”
Wu Zeqing laughed and said, “Yes, he’s usually like this, always joking.”
Yan i asked, “May I look around your house?”
“Sure, please feel free.” Wu Zeqing did not stay with them and headed off to make breakfast.
Upstairs.
Yan i and the caraman ca up.
Zhang Ye was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he saw her coming up. He mumbled with the toothbrush still in his mouth, “Old Yan, you two haven’t had breakfast yet, right?”
Yan i said, “Not yet.”
Zhang Ye said happily, “It’s not that I’m bragging, but you should try my wife’s cooking. I guarantee you that you won’t want to leave after today.” He spat out the toothpaste foam without a care, then rinsed his mouth and spat out the water before saying again, “Don’t doubt ; I’m not lying.”
Yan i said, looking forward to it, “You’re making hungry.”
Zhang Ye wiped his face and stepped out in his slippers. “You’re hungry? Co, let’s go.”
Breakfast was ready.
Yan i said politely, “Thank you, Chief Wu.”
Wu Zeqing said, “No need to be so polite.”
Yan i said, “Do you usually make the als at ho?”
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, “I don’t really have ti to cook often. He’s busy with his work and I’m busy with mine as well, so we don’t usually get to have dinner together.”
Zhang Ye was really showing off. “Here, take a bite.”
“Sure.” Yan i picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food. She then gave a surprised expression. “This is really too good!”
Zhang Ye laughed heartily. “See, I wasn’t lying, right?”
Yan i imdiately turned to the cara and said, “It’s not that I’m being flattering here, but this is so good that I could die.”
Zhang Ye boasted, “You still haven’t had a taste of my wife’s specialty dishes. Let’s wait for lunch so that you can find out for yourself what I an.”
Ring, ring, ring.
At this mont, Zhang Ye’s cell phone rang.
He picked it up and said, “Old Ha, what’s the matter—OK, OK—Yes, I understand. Let’s talk when I get back to the office—alright, sure.”
They hung up.
Zhang Ye said to Old Wu. “Sothing has co up at the studio. I have to go back to the office for a bit.”
Wu Zeqing asked, “Will you be back for lunch?”
Zhang Ye said helplessly, “I’ll have to see. I might not be able to if it gets busy over there.”
After breakfast, Zhang Ye put on his jacket and left.
Yan i and the caraman followed him into the car.
In the car, Zhang Ye stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the neighborhood. Then, he turned his head to the front passenger seat where Yan i was sitting and said, “Sotis, I feel sorry for my wife. A lot of tis after she’s finished cooking, and just as I’m picking up my chopsticks to eat, I receive a call about so urgent matters that I have to attend to imdiately. There are tis when I really feel like taking a break for half a year, but it’s not sothing that I can do. People like us who do this for a living, can we really just take a break whenever we want? Are we just going to ignore the viewers? Abandon our work? Disregard the fans? There are so many people waiting to see us, and so many people depending on us for their livelihoods as well, so how can we just drop everything without a care? We have to get to our feet even if we’re paralyzed!”
Yan i sighed and said, “I have it a little better than you. My workload is not that great, although it does get quite busy at tis and I can’t go ho since I travel for work.”
Zhang Ye asked, “Old Yan, are you single?”
Yan i smiled and said, “I’m currently single. My marriage broke down precisely because we couldn’t understand each other’s work commitnts. I don’t think I’ll settle down again before retirent.”
The atmosphere beca a little heavy.
Both of them understood this feeling quite well.
Zhang Ye was driving along when he suddenly started talking to himself.
” Worried my affection breaks my vows, 1
“Still fearful of beauty’s allure in seclusion.
“In this world, who can fulfill both callings?
“Faithful to Buddha, faithful to you.”
Yan i fell silent. This poem had rcilessly struck at her heart!
The caraman also drew in a deep breath.
“Director Zhang.”
“Eh?”
“May I request for a piece of calligraphy from you?”
“What calligraphy?”
“The poem you just recited.”
“Sure, I’ll get soone to send it over to you after I write it down.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welco.”
