Although Li Tang had never met Xiaopang's parents, he had seen photos and learned about her family's situation from Xiaopang's mouth. Her parents were already in their early forties, but it was indeed news that they could still create villains, especially in an era when basic national policies were strictly enforced.
However, thinking that in the past two months, Xiaopang's mother was busy helping Xiaopang and Aunt Qiongyao's company to mediate the lawsuit, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "When did it happen?"
"Just the day before yesterday, I just found out that it's been almost two months." Xiaopang said with a depressed look, then looked at Li Tang and said bitterly: "I found that you are really a crow's mouth!"
"What did I say? You're still talking like a crow?"
"Last time you said that my parents wanted to give me a younger brother and sister and didn't want me anymore!"
"When did I say that?"
"You said it when you were helping me analyze the character!"
"..."
Li Tang thought for a long time. He helped Xiaopang analyze the role and taught her acting. He talked a lot, but it was all just to help her how to embody emotions. They were all metaphors! Why did it become a prophecy?
He suddenly thought of his father and Aunt Xiao. Although his father was about to reach the age of five, he was still as strong as an ox. Aunt Xiao seemed to be smaller than Xiaochuang's mother. If the two of them get along really well, maybe they can give themselves a younger brother and sister to play with.
In fact, he has no shortage of younger brothers and sisters. He has two half-brothers and sisters far away in the United States. But emotionally speaking, he would rather have a half-brother or sister.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time and still sat there giggling, Xiaopang was very unhappy and said: "Hey, you are gloating about your misfortune, right?"
Li Tang hurriedly said: "No, I'm not gloating. Isn't that a good thing? Isn't it great that your parents are so old and can give you a younger brother and sister for fun?"
"What a fart!"
As long as Xiaopang thinks of his father, who has always been submissive to him, and was ecstatic when he learned that his mother was pregnant yesterday, he will feel sour in his heart.
Just this morning, she saw a plate of cut fruits on the table. She was about to take it over to eat, but her father snatched it away: "This is for your mother. Your mother has a baby in her belly now."
When she heard this, she didn't know what happened. She suddenly exploded, then packed her luggage and left without saying a word. Her parents couldn't stop her.
"Tsk, your attitude is wrong. Don't you always think your mother is too strict with you? Now that she has started practicing the trumpet, she can't care about you. Then you will be free!" Li Tang laughed. .
"Hmph, I would rather not have such freedom. Hey, what does practicing trumpet mean?"
"Think about it, your parents raised you from a young age and let you learn flute, piano and performance. But now that you are older, your wings have become stronger, and you run away from home at every turn. This is really chilling to your parents. Forget it, your big one is completely useless, you might as well get another one and practice the trumpet as soon as possible!"
Li Tang understood clearly in his heart that it was Fan Xiaopang's child's nature that was causing trouble. It is nothing more than fear of being ignored and not being loved by his parents.
Moreover, she is probably very sensitive mentally and cannot imagine her life after having younger siblings in the future. This unknown makes her anxious and uneasy, which leads to her resistance.
Li Tang didn't say anything to Xiaopang, nor did he persuade her. I believe she can figure this out on her own. Seeing her angry look, she picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, drink!"
…
"Hey, ha!"
"Hey, ha!"
Early in the morning, Fan Xiaopang was woken up by a burst of shouting. Without asking, he knew from the rhythmic sound that Li Tang was practicing kung fu.
She turned over in a daze.
Hey, no, why are you naked?
All of a sudden, her sleepiness disappeared. She lifted the quilt and looked inside, only the three-point pose was left on her body.
"Ah...um!"
She subconsciously opened her mouth to scream, but then quickly covered her mouth.
Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, she has been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, and her mother has given her advice from time to time, so she is very wary of this kind of thing. After a brief moment of panic, she immediately calmed down.
First, I checked the remaining underwear. Everything was in good condition. I raised my legs and didn't seem to feel anything strange. I looked around, but I couldn't find the cotton printed pajamas I wore yesterday.
Frustrated, she lay on the bed and recalled carefully. She drank a lot yesterday and talked a lot with Li Tang, but she couldn't remember what she talked about. Later, when Li Tang helped her out, she only remembered that it was dark outside, but she didn't remember anything about it after that.
She almost didn't sleep all night because of her mother's pregnancy the day before. Plus she drank too much yesterday, so she slept very deeply this night and didn't know anything.
The rhythmic "hey ha" sound was still coming clearly from the yard outside. She really wanted to call Li Tang in loudly, and then ask him what happened, where were her clothes?
But her reason told her that since what happened, there was no point in making any more noise.
She got up from the bed, feeling sticky and smelling sour. With a look of disgust on his face, he went into the bathroom and took a shower first, then washed himself and got dressed. When she walked to the door, she took a deep breath, and the veins in her hand on the door handle were exposed. After gathering her courage, she opened the door suddenly.
Li Tang was seen playing short, waving a long white wooden pole, shaking the long pole, saying "Hey", and then "Ha", and stabbed hard at the target hanging on the tree trunk, hitting the red heart.
Just when Xiaopang was about to call someone, Li Tang turned around and smiled at her when he heard the noise, and said, "Did I wake you up?"
"What do you think?" Xiaopang said coldly.
Although she was very restrained, she still couldn't control her tone.
"I'm sorry. I'm used to it every day. I forgot that there was an extra person at home." Li Tang apologized.
He put away the pewter pole, wiped his sweat with a towel, and walked over.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Don’t you know if something is wrong?
Xiaopang secretly cursed, but he made a sideways comment: "Did I get drunk yesterday?"
"He also said that it's a good thing to be able to drink. You will inevitably have to socialize in our line of work, but you also have to pay attention to the occasion. If you drank so much in a daze like yesterday, you were unconscious, and others took advantage of you. have no idea."
After saying that, Li Tang said earnestly: "Girls must learn to protect themselves!"
Little Fatty almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. It's so shameless. What on earth did you do to me last night? Where are my pajamas?
"Good guy, you are crying and laughing at the same time. Fortunately, I have a private house here, otherwise the neighbors would hear it and think I did something to you!"
Xiaopang's eyes widened: "Then I..."
"What are you? You vomited all over you and you didn't know?"
"Huh? What about my clothes?"
"Of course I'll help you take off your clothes. I can't just throw you on the bed when you're dirty and smelly. My sheets and quilt cover are new!"
The little chubby face turned red. Although Li Tang didn't do anything to him, he still stripped him of the three-point pose and almost saw all of it.
"Don't be embarrassed, just wear a swimsuit."
swimsuit?
Can this be the same?
Even if I am an underwear model, work and life are two different things, so I will definitely be embarrassed if something like this happens.
"What about my pajamas?"
"I washed your pajamas for you this morning, and my clothes were also sprayed by you, and they are all in the washing machine."
After saying that, Li Tang also directed the chubby guy: "The washing machine is in the bathroom next to the restaurant. You go and dry it. I have to take a shower."
"oh!"
Xiaopang knew that he had misunderstood Li Tang. Although Teacher Li usually talks a lot, he is still a gentleman after all. So he nodded obediently and walked towards the east wing across the yard.
Looking at Xiaopang's back, Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and unconsciously held his hands in the air a few times.
No wonder some people say: A thousand catties of friendship is not worth as much as two ounces of love. It is completely impossible to experience this feeling from your ex-girlfriend. Fortunately, Xiaopang vomited at the critical moment, otherwise he might really do something bad.
When Li Tang came out after taking a shower and changing clothes, the clothes were hung out to dry, but after looking around, there was no sign of Fan Xiaopang. Just as he was about to call her on his mobile phone, he heard the courtyard door creaking and Xiaopang walked in carrying two plastic bags.
"I'm going to buy breakfast."
"Did you buy it at the alley entrance?"
"Well, I paid special attention to it when I came in yesterday."
"Hey, do you really plan to stay here for a long time? Aren't your parents worried?"
"There's nothing to worry about. I used to live alone in the capital."
"Then do they know you live at my place?"
Xiaopang shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I told them that I rent a house by myself. I can wait until next year to buy a house by myself."
Two "Return of the Pearl" hits the airwaves, and she can be considered a third-tier star now. The price of a commercial acting role has at least doubled compared to last year. Buying a house will not be a piece of cake by then.
The breakfast Xiaopang bought was the same as Lao San from the breakfast shop at Hutongkou, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and meat pie.
While Li Tang was eating breakfast, he asked, "How can you take on jobs now that you don't have an agent?"
"It makes a difference whether I have an agent or not. I have a lot of friends in the capital. I made all the phone calls before I came here yesterday. If there is anything available, they will contact me."
Xiaopang's previous agency was in Wanwan. Li Jingping's manager had so many artists under his management that he honestly couldn't care less about her. He usually shot commercials, MVs, etc., which were all the connections Xiaopang had accumulated.
Of course at that time she was just an unknown newcomer, with a short life and barely enough income to survive. It’s different now. Not only can you sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but you can also be picky and picky.
"Hey, when are you leaving today?" Xiaopang asked.
Today Li Tang will rush to Shenyang to attend the 8th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, which opens tomorrow.
"Afternoon, my agent will pick me up at one o'clock in the afternoon."
Li Tang said, looked at Xiaopang, and said, "If you find it inconvenient, just stay in the room and come out after we leave."
"Um."
"And you can go to the restaurant next to the breakfast shop for dinner. It tastes good, and the boss knows you live here."
"Well, many people in the alley know about it. When I just went out to buy breakfast, everyone greeted me very warmly!" Fan Xiaopang said with a smile.
"You have lived in the capital for so long, haven't you felt the enthusiasm of the people in the old capital?"
"It's different. Most of the places I rented in the past were from Beipiao. There were very few real locals. They usually went about their own business and never said hello."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Li Tang changed the topic and pointed to the things on display in the kitchen: "The equipment and pots and pans are all here. If you want to cook, you can. But the things are all new. Don't forget to wash them before using them." One wash.”
"Hehe, don't worry, I can't cook."
