Chapter 2043

Qiao Yu had never thought of himself as an emotional person, but even though he had just seen Xu Jia and Chen Cheng exchanging gifts, he still accidentally shed a few Tears.

But when Jin Chen appeared in the video, just a slightly travel-worn side profile, Qiao Yu's eye sockets already felt a warm moisture.

In the video, Jin Chen flew to Switzerland especially for the gift, and amidst his hurried itinerary on foreign streets, he found a family hidden at the mouth of an alley; after a conversation, the screen showed an elderly person with white hair.

In an instant, Qiao Yu's pupils contracted; he seemed to know what gift Jin Chen was going to give, yet he could hardly believe it, clutching a heart eager for an answer, he stared fixedly at the screen, unwilling to miss a single second.

: Ahhhhh fuck! Old Master Ximen! Father of fantasy animation!

: Ximen has already been retired for several years, right? Holy shit, how did Jin Chen find him!

: Ahhhh, can Jin Chen, the Movie Emperor, also let Old Master Ximen come out of retirement again? He shouldn't be overworked nor idle!

Because of Jin Chen's background, the video is a compilation of several broadcastable segments edited together, so viewers can only see Old Master Ximen having a somewhat familiar conversation with Jin Chen in the video.

Just this point is enough to spark endless imagination.

Jin Chen's mysterious family background is no secret in the entertainment circle; two years ago, media had already photographed him dining with the bosses of several leading companies, and he sat in the seat of honor.

Afterward, another nosy paparazzo tried to get footage of him, hoping to become famous overnight, but the result was that he completely vanished from the industry in less than a week.

But rumors and hearsay are ultimately nowhere near as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes.

"Oh… yes, that set of Dream Fuwa is no longer sold externally."

Upon hearing Jin Chen's purpose, Ximen immediately said he could send out the last set he still kept at home, and couldn't help but be curious.

"However, Chen, you don't seem like someone who collects Fuwa; who are you giving it to?"

In the video, Jin Chen's voice was somewhat distorted, but the gentleness that came through could be heard by anyone.

He said: "Give it to my lover."

The video ended, and the barrage of comments had already turned into a frenzy of screams.

Qiao Yu hadn't reacted yet; he blankly turned to look at Jin Chen, and also at the doll in Jin Chen's arms.

Dream Fuwa was Old Master Ximen's claim to fame; there were five different designs in total, but later, supposedly due to some dispute, Old Master Ximen withdrew all licenses and no longer sold them externally.

Qiao Yu owned four of them; he especially liked them, keeping them in his bedroom to play with every day, but the last one was always missing, almost becoming his childhood obsession.

So Qiao Yu never imagined that, as an adult, he would actually dispel that obsession from his lover.

"You… how do you know I like this?" Qiao Yu asked in a hoarse voice, then couldn't help blinking twice to wipe away the Tears, afraid he wouldn't see Jin Chen clearly.

That night during the video call, I saw a few of the dolls in your bedroom.

Jin Chen raised his hand to wipe away the moisture at the corner of his eyes, the same gentleness as in the video, and asked, "Do you like this gift?"

"Like."

Qiao Yu unconsciously rubbed against his palm, acting coquettishly.

Just from that video call, Jin Chen could guess which dolls he liked best, even though there were still many on the bed and Sofa.

Qiao Yu held the doll in his arms, pinching its ugly-cute face, then suddenly lunged into Jin Chen's embrace, his reddened nose rubbing against the crook of Jin Chen's neck, full of clingy affection.

"You're so smart, you figured out right away what I like best." Qiao Yu's voice was brimming with undisguised joy.

"No, I like you the most."

Qiao Yu Change Address again, cupping Jin Chen's face and kissing it several times.

Jin Chen felt as if he were being washed in the face by a puppy's tongue, laughing and crying as he pressed Qiao Yu's face into his chest, saying, "Okay, good, who taught you to kiss like that?"

So Qiao Yu obediently stayed still in his arms, still uselessly shedding Tears, all of which rubbed onto Jin Chen's collar.

: Boohoo, we really are the lovey-dovey group; watching it makes me cry, laugh, and feel all giddy.

: So Jin Chen must have already gotten in touch with Ximen before this segment, otherwise how could he have gotten it in two days?

: That's not necessarily true, but I'm getting more and more curious about Jin Chen's identity, ahhh.

: When Qiao Yu's wife's identity as the Young Master of Yunle Group was exposed, I had teased, congratulating Jin Chen on marrying into a wealthy family, but I never expected that the one marrying into a wealthy family would be Qiao Yu!

: Boohoo, after eating something sweet I should be eating something spicy now, but Hu Shi looks really calm, does he really not care?

: How could he not care? That's seven years!

: According to the draw order, the third group is Chu Yi and Ning Tong exchanging gifts.

: In these two days, Chu Yi recommended Ning Tong to old friends in the circle as the male lead for a new drama, and the video shows Chu Yi accompanying Ning Tong to the audition.

: From beginning to end, Hu Shi sat aside looking very Silence, Xu Jia was a bit worried about his condition, went over to ask, but just heard Hu Shi get up and leave.

: Xu Jia and Qiao Yu exchanged a glance, wanting to go over.

: Jin Chen noticed, didn't stop him, just when Qiao Yu stood up gave him a pack of tissues, softly saying: "Don't cry yourself into a little flower cat."

: Qiao Yu held that pack of tissues and walked over, hearing Hu Shi leaning against the windowsill speak.

: "That day when we chatted, I said I had almost no friction with Chu Yi, but that was lying to you."

: Xu Jia fell silent for a moment, "I know."

: How could people who have gotten along for seven years have no friction?

: Qiao Yu squatted listening to their talk, hearing this he wondered: "So why did Hu Ge come on this show..."

: Hu Shi lit a cigarette, looking out the window, vaguely seeing everything happening in the courtyard; there are no cameras here, no need to maintain composure in front of the lens.

: "Chu Yi was introduced to me by my family, we got together after just a few months; saying this I'm not afraid you'll laugh, but we basically had no honeymoon period."

: "Chu Yi is a great partner; he makes me soup, reminds me to take care of my throat, when I can't write lyrics he takes me out for a drive, just like in the first episode, he said he would nurture the relationship."

: Hu Shi glanced sideways, looking through the smoke at Qiao Yu and Xu Jia: "Can you understand? He nurtures the relationship, and I need him; even though seven years have passed and he never brought up marriage, I still gladly accept it."

: Qiao Yu seemed to figure something out, fiddling with his fingertips, murmuring: "The relationship needs nurturing, but... it can't be just nurturing."

: Without love as support, this kind of nurturing is like a romantic empty fantasy floating in life; inside it's actually just an empty void.

: "But why is that? If he doesn't really like you, why not break up?" Xu Jia asked again.

: Hu Shi rested his hand on the windowsill, ash falling into his hand unnoticed, or Qiao Yu pulled out a paper to wipe away the ash.
