Chapter 69 May I have a tour of your home?
"Once the photos are edited, I'll make a video for you guys, and you can upload it to your own accounts. I guarantee it'll go viral!"
Zhang Ruonan said with a smile, "You've said it so many times today! Let's see what you actually do!"
"And what about you?" Zhou Ye suddenly asked; she looked at him, a hint of concern in her almond-shaped eyes; "You didn't take any pictures today!"
"Me~!" Wang Zian's lips suddenly curled into a meaningful smile; "When the time comes, of course I'll come in whatever way is most handsome and fun!"
You'll find out later!
····
That evening, Wang Zian drove Zhou Ye to his apartment complex.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Zhou Ye prepared to unbuckle his seatbelt.
She turned her head and glanced at Zhang Ruonan in the back row; Zhang Ruonan was leaning back in her seat, looking down at her phone to reply to messages.
Zhou Ye turned his gaze back, his lips slightly pursed, and his fingers rubbed against the seatbelt buckle.
She had several questions on her mind that she wanted to have a private chat with him, but there were three people in the car now.
She swallowed her words, pouted, and reached out to open the car door.
"I'm leaving now!"
"Where are you going?" Wang Zian asked.
"I'm going home!"
"Don't rush, wait for me to park the car!" Wang Zian said with a smile, stopping Zhou Ye from getting out of the car.
"What's wrong?"
"I live here too!" Wang Zian's words sealed Zhou Ye's place.
She stared at Wang Zi'an, her eyes wide with shock; "What do you mean? You're renting a place?"
"I rented an apartment!" Wang Zian said; "It just happens to be upstairs from yours!"
Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment; she blinked several times, her eyelashes fluttering.
"Ahhh! Really? When? How come I didn't know?"
Her voice grew louder and louder, and by the end of her sentence she was becoming somewhat incoherent.
"Don't get excited, let's go up first!"
Wang Zian parked the car in a temporary parking space and got out of the car.
After arriving in Yanjing yesterday, I stayed at a hotel for one night.
As he lay in bed looking at the ceiling, he suddenly realized that he would be staying here for a long time and needed a place of his own.
In a few months, when I go to university, I can come back to stay when I have nothing to do.
He found a way and got it done quickly.
Unexpectedly, when I checked the address, I found that it was the same residential area where Zhou Ye lived, and even in the same building.
He took his luggage out of the trunk, and Zhang Ruonan also dragged her small silver-gray carry-on suitcase out from behind.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Ye almost instinctively took Zhang Ruonan's arm.
The sense of closeness built up after sharing a day of intense work made her naturally lean towards him.
But when she saw Zhang Ruonan also pulling her own luggage out from behind her suitcase, her smile suddenly faded.
I stayed at a hotel on South Street last night, but I brought my luggage today. Could it be...?
"Sister Nan, tonight..."
Knowing what Zhou Ye was thinking, Zhang Ruonan teased her with a smile, "I'm staying at Wang Zi'an's house for now!"
Wang Zian was taken aback.
That was the original plan, but after Zhang Ruonan found out that Zhou Ye's house was downstairs from his rented house, she decided to stay at Zhou Ye's house.
Seeing Zhang Ruonan wink at him, Wang Zian realized what was happening and replied, "The apartment I rented is huge, six or seven rooms, it can fit everyone!"
Zhou Ye tightened his grip on Nan Jie's arm a little.
Is this a question of whether or not there's enough room to live?
Men and women are different!
Her eyes darted around quickly, then she shook Zhang Ruonan's arm: "Nan-jie and I are so close, of course she should live with me!"
"Sister Nan~!" She pouted and pleaded with Zhang Ruonan, "My house is so big, and I live alone. Why don't you live with me? I'm scared!"
Zhang Ruonan's eyes gleamed with smugness; she had seen through Zhou Ye's little scheme.
"Where's your sister?" Wang Zian suddenly interrupted.
Zhou Ye turned his head and glared at him. Why was this guy deliberately undermining him?
She quickly made up a reason in her mind, "My sister~ My sister is still dealing with company matters, she hasn't been home for the past few days."
After saying that, she glared at Wang Zi'an again.
Wang Zian shrugged.
"Nan-jie, you and Zhou Ye go ahead! I'm going home. We'll meet at 8 AM tomorrow!"
"Okay." Zhang Ruonan replied decisively.
"Okay," Zhou Ye replied simultaneously.
When we reached the eighth floor, the elevator doors opened with a ding.
Zhou Ye took Zhang Ruonan's arm and walked out.
The elevator doors slowly closed behind them, cutting off the meaningful gaze Zhou Ye cast as he turned back.
Wang Zian continued upwards and stopped on the tenth floor.
···
Zhou Ye pulled Zhang Ruonan's arm, opened the door to his house, and turned on the light in the entryway.
The moment the lights came on, Zhang Ruonan paused for a moment.
She stood in the entryway, her feet on the matte gray floor tiles, her gaze stretching from the entryway into the depths of the living room.
The walls are entirely pearl white, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows face the night view of Beijing, making the city lights outside look like they are framed in a painting.
The whole house looks like the cover of an interior design magazine.
Wow~ this~~!
Zhang Ruonan's sigh was drawn out, with the last syllable rising in the air.
She turned to look at Zhou Ye, her almond-shaped eyes filled with genuine admiration. "Yeye, your house is decorated so beautifully!"
"It's alright! My sister hired a designer to do it! She's a designer herself!"
Zhou Ye bent down and handed the slippers to Zhang Ruonan in a very casual manner.
Zhang Ruonan took the slippers and put them on, her eyes still looking around.
As a money-lover, the second thing on her dream list is to own a big house and decorate it beautifully.
She walked around the living room several times, looking at the shoe cabinet in the entryway, the TV wall, and the curtains of the French windows.
"Your sister designed it so well!"
"YeYe, when I buy a house, can I ask your sister to design it?"
"Of course!" Zhou Ye readily agreed.
"May I have a tour of your home?"
"Come on, I'll take you with me!"
Zhou Ye pulled Zhang Ruonan along to show her the layout of the room.
···
Wang Zian, carrying his luggage, opened the door using the electronic password he had received in advance.
This building was delivered fully furnished, ready for immediate move-in. It has a modern minimalist style similar to Zhou Ye's house, but not as elaborate.
He had the rental center hire a cleaner to thoroughly clean the place during the day, so when he pushed open the door, there was a faint, pleasant smell of disinfectant and laundry detergent mixed together in the air.
The entryway light is motion-activated; it turns on when he walks in.
He leaned his suitcase against the wall and gave the house a quick tour: four bedrooms, a master bathroom, a study, a walk-in closet, an open-plan kitchen that connected to the living room, and a marble-topped island.
Like Zhou Ye's house, the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows face the Beijing skyline.
The layout is good, and the lighting is ample.
He pushed open the door to the master bedroom. The bed sheets were brand new, folded into neat right angles by the cleaning lady.
The welcome card left by the rental center was still on the mattress. He picked it up and put it on the bedside table, pushed his suitcase aside, and lay straight down on the bed.
The mattress bounced a bit; it's very soft.
He lay on his back, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
Today's filming is complete. Zhang Ruonan has agreed to take over the company. Zhou Ye's enthusiasm for appearing on camera is even higher than he expected. Lao Li's team is also worth continuing to work with.
The plan is progressing step by step.
He mentally reviewed the schedule for the next few days: location shooting tomorrow, drama filming the day after, and the day after that, they could start filming the first batch of short videos with storylines.
I thought about each step and made a few minor adjustments in my mind.
After finishing his thoughts, he jumped out of bed, opened his suitcase, took out a change of clothes, and went to take a shower.
Hot water poured down from the showerhead, washing away the fatigue of the whole day.
After the bathroom door closed, his phone, which was charging on the desk, kept flashing message notifications.
The screen lit up and then lit up again, flickering in the quiet, dimly lit corner of the bedroom like a small animal blinking.
When he came out of the bathroom, he was drying his still-dripping hair with a towel when he picked up his phone, which was already flooded with messages.
Meng Jie, Tian Xiwei, Lao Li, Zhou Ye, and several other profile pictures have red dots indicating unread messages.
"So much news!"
