Chapter 30: Laughing and Joking

Xia Yehe's home turned out to be upstairs from this barbecue shop. Chen Nuo carried Xia Yehe on his back, and the waiter Xiao Tian led the way in front. Xia Yehe was indeed very light, but carrying her upstairs wasn't particularly easy.

Anyone who has carried a drunk person knows that once a person is drunk, they become especially heavy.

This building had a total of six floors, probably an old house from the 80s. Not only was there no elevator, but the stairwell was very narrow, and the steps were very high. When Chen Nuo carried Xia Yehe to the fourth floor where Xia Yehe lived, it was the middle of winter, and he was already sweating.

Xiao Tian skillfully found a key from Xia Yehe's bag and opened the door. "In the past, the two of us girls carried her together, and our boss wasn't very happy. It's good to have you from now on."

Chen Nuo pulled out a bitter smile and carried Xia Yehe into the room.

Xiao Tian received a call at this time, it seemed there were guests at the shop, and the boss was urging her to go downstairs quickly.

"Then that's it, I'll go to the shop first, you just put Sister He on the bed." Xiao Tian put the key on the shoe cabinet and turned to go downstairs.

Only Xia Yehe and Chen Nuo were left in the room.

This was a simply furnished single room, with only one bed, a TV cabinet, and a 20-plus-inch color TV, not to mention air conditioning, not even a wardrobe, only a clothes rack. As Xia Yehe said, she had moved quite a few things to the dormitory, so the room was empty, cold wind blowing through the cracks in the windows and doors, blowing people cold to the bone marrow.

Chen Nuo put Xia Yehe on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, pulled the two quilts on the bed to cover her, and put a few thick clothes on the side on top of the quilt. He didn't know if this was warm enough, but looking around, he couldn't find anything else to keep warm.

Afterward, he glanced at Xia Yehe, who had her eyes closed tightly. Although he was a scumbag, he wasn't a loser, and it was impossible to take advantage of someone in danger.

He didn't stay long either, closed the door lightly and left.

What Chen Nuo didn't know was that when he closed the door with a *click*, Xia Yehe, who looked like she was unconscious on the bed, opened her eyes immediately. She was indeed drunk, and she really had a blackout, but when going upstairs, her consciousness slowly recovered, she just had to continue pretending.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and the lights from the highway outside were shining through the window. Xia Yehe opened her eyes wide in the dark, her eyes flickering, don't know what she was thinking.

The next morning, Chen Nuo received a call from Chen Kexin.

On the phone, Chen Kexin seemed to be in a good mood. "Nuo Zai, I'm in Shanghai, let's have a meal together today."

Chen Nuo was surprised: "Ah, Director Chen, have you finished filming the scenes in Beijing? My dance isn't practiced well yet."

Chen Kexin laughed: "Not yet. I came here this time because the leaders have summoned me. Ah, by the way, you are practicing dance at the song and dance troupe, right?"

"Yes."

"Then that's perfect, I also have to go over there to talk about some things, we'll chat when we meet."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Nuo looked at his watch and was startled. It was already past 8:20. Don't know if the morning alarm didn't go off or he didn't hear it, in short, it was half an hour later than usual, it seemed he was definitely going to be late. Sure enough, when he arrived at the song and dance troupe, it was already past 9:30. Xia Yehe was pressing her legs with a few girls inside, originally chatting and laughing, the laughter could be heard in the corridor, but when Chen Nuo appeared at the door, several people stopped talking instantly.

"Teacher Xiao He, sorry, I overslept this morning." Chen Nuo apologized repeatedly as soon as he entered the door, "Really sorry, won't happen next time."

Seeing Chen Nuo's cowardly look in the mirror, a girl with a melon-seed face couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "Teacher Xiao He, you are so amazing, look how scared you made him, I feel so heartbroken looking at it."

With her taking the lead, the other two girls suddenly started chattering.

"Xia Yehe, how did you train... teach him, such an obedient student, I want one too."

"Yes, Teacher Xiao He, don't hog him alone, lend your student to us to use too." A somewhat plump long-haired girl turned around on the spot, posed a curvy posture, and threw a wink at Chen Nuo, "Chen Nuo, what do you think of me? What did Teacher Xiao He teach you, actually I can do it too~"

With Chen Nuo's experience of two lifetimes, what kind of people hadn't he seen, but after eating vegetarian for so long, suddenly encountering such an enthusiastic one, he could only smile, not to mention Xia Yehe.

She, who was originally as white as jade, turned red, stomped her feet and said: "Liu Jiaojiao, stop messing around, get out quickly, I'm going to start teaching dance."

"Ah." Liu Jiaojiao covered her mouth, pretending to be surprised: "Do we have to go out for Teacher Xiao He to teach? Teacher Xiao He, what dance are you planning to teach? Dance wearing clothes, or dance without clothes?"

"Haha..." "Giggle..."

As soon as she said this, the other two girls laughed until tears came out, making Xia Yehe reach out to pinch Liu Jiaojiao's waist. As a result, Liu Jiaojiao turned and ran, two people chasing one in the dance studio, and there were two cheering on the side, making it very lively for a while. Just then, suddenly heard a stern voice at the door: "What are you making a scene for? This is working hours!"

A middle-aged woman wearing glasses stood at the door, her expression particularly serious, without a trace of a smile, her sharp eyes projected from behind the lenses, like two sharp knife blades, stabbing a few bloody holes in Xia Yehe and the others in the next second.

Xia Yehe and the others closed their mouths immediately, standing obediently on the spot, hands behind their backs, heads lowered, not daring to make a sound, just like primary school students caught by the teacher.

"Mom, look, I didn't lie to you. They treat this classroom as a playground, coming here when they have nothing to do, and don't practice dance when they come, just making a scene here, not taking you seriously at all." A feminine-looking man stood behind the woman, adding fuel to the fire.

Chen Nuo knew this man; it was the Guo Junxuan from yesterday, and this menopausal woman in front of Guo Junxuan was obviously his mother who was the deputy head.

"Deputy Head Li, we didn't..."

Hearing Guo Junxuan say this, Xia Yehe couldn't help but want to open her mouth to say something.

But she only said two words, and that Deputy Head Li interrupted her with a sharp voice: "You didn't? What did I see just now? Early in the morning, you guys are laughing and joking here, if this isn't treating this place as a playground, what is it? Xia Yehe, you can be in the movie this time, the troupe is all looking at my face, who let me have a soft heart. You cried and begged me, did you forget? Still dare to talk back to me?"
