Chapter 23 Lighthouse The group drank happily and exchanged hugs outside the wine house before leaving.
They made an appointment to meet at the winery the next day to chat.
The last time Pei Yan came to Zhuang Xiao's house uninvited, it was to cause trouble.
This time he came uninvited as well, with a completely different mood.
Zhuang Xiao's house was much quieter than last time.
This is a secluded mansion located on the hillside on the edge of the city.
At night, a few small lights are lit in the courtyard, and the swimming pool surface is filled with light and dark fish scale patterns.
"So your brothers don't live with you."
Pei Yan wandered freely in the empty living room.
"We don't live together."
Zhuang Xiao said, "They all have their own houses to live in.
Most of them usually film in various places in the country to support their families, and Xiao Sa is also in the country."
"Then when I come back, everyone will be at your house.
They will beat me if they can't hold it in."
Pei Yan still held grudges.
"You were unlucky last time.
The last time people came all the time, they all wanted to beat you."
Zhuang Xiao smiled.
"Fuck!"
Pei Yan walked around the living room with ease and sat on the familiar sofa.
"You dropped two drops of blood on the sofa last time, and I wiped them off."
Zhuang Xiao said.
"Hey, let's take a look.
Can you still find any traces of me, grandpa?"
Pei Yan immediately stood up and squatted in front of the sofa to look for him.
The wound on his earlobe had long since healed, leaving a light white scar where it once opened.
Some memories that smelled of blood made him feel particularly sweet.
There was no trace of blood on the dark gray sofa.
He put his nose up to sniff it like a convulsion, hoping that what he wanted to sniff out was no longer his own traces.
"You also dripped blood on my clothes."
Pei Yan said, "It's easy to see blood when we meet."
Zhuang Xiao came over with some tea, holding a heavy teapot in his left hand, holding two empty teacups in his injured right hand, and sat down.
Pei Yan took aim, then took out the Heart-Destroying Palm, trying to grab the two teacups.
Zhuang Xiao quickly dodged and put the teapot on the coffee table in front of the two of them with a "dang" sound, but he held down the teapot lid before Pei Yan could grab it.
Pei Yan reluctantly grabbed the teacup again, and the two of them moved around the teapot more than a dozen times with their four hands.
Zhuang Xiao also had a competitive spirit.
The teapot and teacup would not change hands, and Pei Yan pressed the spout of the teapot to prevent him from pouring out water.
The two of them struggled for a long time, but the water was not spilled and the water could not be poured out of the spout.
The pot of good tea was almost cold.
Waiting for each other anytime and anywhere, enjoying the silent competition, neither one will give in easily.
Pei Yan's sharp fingers grabbed the tea cup and tried to pull it out of Zhuang Xiao's hand.
"I haven't seen you for a month.
Your finger skills are getting better."
Zhuang Xiao looked at him.
"I lay in bed for a month and I didn't practice," Pei Yan confessed honestly, "I have gained weight."

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Xiao's hand holding the tea cup.
There was still a thin layer of gauze on the palm of his hand.
Pei Yan immediately loosened his grip and gave in.
Obviously he is not good at kung fu.
It's not easy to heal a muscle tear, it will definitely hurt.
Zhuang Xiao's hands must not be as good as before, and he needs to take care of them.
When the tea is cold, drink it cold, stretch your legs on the coffee table in front of the sofa, chat comfortably, and watch movies.
From the TV cabinet, Pei Yan searched out the old movies starring Zhuang Xiao without hesitation, and specially showed a certain award-winning work he liked, the classic image of a young prodigal son.
It was clearly the same face in front of me and on the screen.
It's just that Zhuang Xiao now lacks the fearless and bloody spirit of the past, and has more of the calmness and vicissitudes that have accumulated over the years.
When the male protagonist is present and watching what he is acting, he feels uncomfortable and very embarrassed.
Zhuang Xiao frowned: "Don't look at this, hurry up and change it."
Pei Yan laughed and said, "If I don't change it, the other films won't be as good as yours, best actor."
"Don't look at it," Zhuang Xiao frowned and closed his eyes, "I can recite each scene and action lines for you."
"I can also recite it for you."
Pei Yan said softly, without meeting the other person's gaze.
Occasionally chatting about family matters, Pei Yan asked the other party: "How old were you when you started practicing boy kung fu?"
"Since childhood."
Zhuang Xiao replied, "The club I joined when I was nine."
Whose parents send a nine-year-old child to a club to box?
Zhuang Xiao is an orphan from Daliang Mountain, isn't he?
Some things cannot be asked in depth.
Pei Yan asked: "Later, after you finished filming this movie, you seemed to be still boxing in the club."
Zhuang Xiao said: "I kept playing for a few more years, but my waist hurt and I couldn't compete in the ring anymore, so I quit."
"What about you?"
Zhuang Xiao also asked him, "Why would your family be willing to let you do this job?
After all, it is very hard and you can get hurt easily."
"I just like it," Pei Yan said nonchalantly, "They can't stop me."
Pei Yan stood next to Zhuang Xiao, turned to look at her, and said seriously: "I have saved a lot of your CDs, all the movies you have acted in.
I feel that I have a deeper understanding of idols than fans.
After all, among your star-chasing fans, there are also There are very few people who can really follow you in this industry, which can be regarded as my textbook and guiding light for entering the industry.”
Zhuang Xiao paused for a moment and shook slightly: "Isn't that right?"
"Really."
Pei Yan nodded, "I also grew up watching your movies, okay?"
The affectionate night chat suddenly turned into laughter, and the conversation could not continue seriously.
Pei Yan went to grab the teapot with a hot face and laughed at herself: "I am so excited to see my idol again.
Hurry up and put out the fire and bring me a pot of herbal tea."
Zhuang Xiao said: "It's broken, I also added some red dates and longan, thinking it could replenish blood and qi for people who are recovering from serious illness."
Pei Yanle: "Yes, I ate too many dates."
Pei Yan glanced at the topless figure of someone on the screen.
At that time, the boy's features were still a little immature, but his handsome and strong-boned chest had already revealed the man's sexy temperament, which was very attractive.
"The blood is full, so why fill it up and it's about to overflow."
Pei Yan wiped his nose uncomfortably.
The next morning, Pei Yan woke up from the big bed in the guest room, squinted half of his eyes, glanced at the sunlight coming through the window, smelled the California sunshine, and was in a good mood.
In fact, it didn't matter.

He didn't plan on what would happen when he came here.
He flew from a place far away across the ocean to this piece of land and took a luxurious "flying" stop just to take a look at Zhuang Xiao, without daring to think anything wrong.
I can't beat you again and again, otherwise how can I force myself to do it?
Zhuang Xiao is obviously very straight.
Treating him is no different from treating the boys in the banker class who come over to stay overnight.
They are all treated with the same hospitality and are kind to everyone, but they are never overly enthusiastic.
The house where a single man lives has simple lines and adequate furnishings.
On the cabinets and walls there are some decorative paintings and souvenirs brought back from filming around the world.
Pei Yan looked at them one by one.
He searched very hard for any photos and objects left behind by his ex-girlfriend.
He couldn't find it in the guest room or living room.
There were only photos of their banker Ban Wuxing in the glass cabinet, as well as trophies and medals for various honorary awards.
There were no photos of his family, and there was no sign of his ex.
This made his heart tremble.
My heart was slightly comforted.
The deck in the backyard of the house turned out to be the place where Mr.
Zhuang usually practiced a set of boxing exercises every morning.
Pei Yan flew over in stride and almost succeeded in a sneak attack, but was caught by Zhuang Xiao's palm from under his arm.
He grabbed his wrist and twisted him backwards half a turn to restrain him.
Pei Yan didn't use any force.
He disarmed himself first and grabbed Zhuang Xiao's right hand: "Is the wound okay?
Does it still hurt?"
Zhuang Xiao unfolded his palms, revealing several deep white scars that stretched across his palms like a scorpion's tailbone.
The healed skin can still be seen as unnaturally tight and surrounded by dark red tear marks.
"It's healed, nothing serious."
Zhuang Xiao said.
Zhuang Xiao will definitely not complain afterwards, nor will he say too much silly nonsense about gratitude.
There is a long way to go between the two of them.
A set of wooden mannequins stood on the deck.
"Wing Chun 108 Stance Hands" Pei Yan raised his eyelids, revealing his naked eyes.
Zhuang Xiao nodded, stood in front of the wooden mannequin and performed a set of 108 movements at will.
He cut, chopped, rubbed and hit his palms and wrists with such smoothness that it was dazzling.
"Why are you still using this dummy stake while I'm here?
Then why do you need me?"
Pei Yan smiled at the other party, then stood in front of Zhuang Xiao formally.
Under the morning light, in the courtyard halfway up the mountain, the wind chimes were gently blowing in the breeze under the porch, and the back courtyard was covered with green grass.
Both of them wore close-fitting white shirts and the most homely pure black training pants.
Make eye contact and give a salute, raise your hands in a bright gesture The wrists collide with each other, and then the forearms and shoulders communicate.
The bones and muscles collide with each other to make a sonorous and powerful sound.
The depth of the physical collision is the deeper integration of mind and emotion, integrating into the world.
It's just that I don't know how much of their respective emotions at this time happened to coincide quietly.
For a moment, he fell into a trance, and the morning light flowed from the bottom of Pei Yan's eyes.
For himself, this is the life he dreams of, a harmonious and peaceful life every day, and the man he wants to see when he gets up every morning.
There is an activity room on the second floor of Zhuang Xiao's house, which is equipped with some commonly used fitness equipment.
There is a billiard table in the middle, and a group of brothers come here to play billiards from time to time.

In the meantime, a younger brother who lived nearby called his older brother and said he wanted to come over to pick up some equipment.
Zhuang Xiao just asked him to come in through the front door and put the key in a small box at the door.
He lets others come in and out very casually, and the owner doesn't even go to the front hall to open the door.
Pei Yan glanced quietly from the glass door of the backyard, and no one noticed that anyone was staying at Zhuang Xiao's house.
The two of them finished their morning exercise, feeling very happy and still sweating, so they went upstairs to play billiards.
Pei Yan walked back and forth in the room carrying the cue: "Just when my hands are shaking the most, let me play billiards with you."
In fact, it was obviously his suggestion to play billiards.
It’s good to do something.
"This is a question of whether it's a lack of salt or a lack of calcium," Zhuang Xiao laughed at him.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm very good at playing," Pei Yan said.
"He is still too light and his muscles are not strong enough."
Zhuang Xiao said of him.
"I don't have enough muscles.
Even if I take off my clothes, I still have some flesh."
Pei Yan said, "I haven't taken off my clothes yet."
The two of you chatted with each other, and you played with each other.
The colorful balls draw invisible patterns on the bottom of the dark green table, and they make a slight sound when they hit the table, which is the mood.
Pei Yan said, "I'm very good at playing ball."
At the same time, he poked his white ball into the hole and said, "Holy shit, who hit this?"
His mind was no longer on playing ball.
As soon as he hit the ball, the ball was heading towards Zhuang Xiao's waist.
Zhuang Xiao then unceremoniously received the bottom shot.
Pei Yan slowly fell forward, and with a "bang", he dropped himself onto the table, occupying most of the table at once.
He stretched out his arms and blocked several holes on the edge of the stage.
He was very shameless and said: "You are awesome, come on, hit me.
Let me see how you can get into the hole."
Zhuang Xiao stared at him, a smile suddenly broke out on his lips, and he suddenly took a stab.
A red ball went straight to Pei Shaoxia's exposed armpit.
He didn't even have time to hide.
It hit the bull's-eye of the armpit.
With a sound of "ah", Pei Yan suddenly curled up like a cramp.
Pei Yan took out the red ball and threw it back at someone unceremoniously.
How dare you bully me?
Zhuang Xiao caught the ball in the air with clear eyesight and quick hands, and then threw it at him.
Pei Yan held his head and rolled off the table, then slipped directly under the table.
Zhuang Xiao actually didn't make a move with the red ball, he grabbed it at his fingertips and hugged it back.
A billiard ball is quite heavy.
How can you really hit someone with it?
Pei Yan crawled across the table and stood up in front of Zhuang Xiao.
The two of them were so close that they were face to face, eye to eye, and almost chest to chest.
The lights in their eyes were looking at each other unavoidably, and they were locked in a stalemate, which had crossed the line between men.
Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously moved away.
Before he could move away, Mr.
Pei, who was as frightened as a bird, retreated first.
The phone rang.

Liang Youhui probably didn't have enough fun last night, so he invited them out for morning tea today.
"I haven't even eaten breakfast yet.
Let's go and drink tea."
Zhuang Xiao went downstairs, taking off his sweaty white shirt as he went downstairs, throwing it into the laundry basket in the corner, and then changed into a clean black shirt.
Basically the same style.
The beautiful flesh color flashed before my eyes.
Pei Yan lowered his eyelids, keeping as tight as possible, and followed Zhuang Xiao silently, quietly, as honestly as a domestic cat in this house.
People are always like this.
The more you meet someone you really like, the more cowardly you become.
A Cantonese seafood restaurant in the city served morning tea, and Liang Youhui treated the guests to dinner with a spring breeze on his face.
Several people gathered around a round table, drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting.
Pei Yan accidentally asked: "Which area of Tianjin are you hanging out in?"
Liang Youhui said: "The new district is right on the seaside, the newly built building opposite the Public Security Bureau building."
"Why do you live in a place like that?"
Pei Yan sneered, "You don't dare to do anything bad, right?"
"I dare not do anything."
Liang Youhui smiled and narrowed his big eyes.
"The security at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau is very good.
There are no people who can sneak in and pick the lock.
And is it convenient for family members to visit?"
Pei Yan thought to herself, Damn it, it's here again, a new round of love show has begun again, get out of here.
Zhuang Xiao received a call from his agent at this time and asked him to talk to him about something urgent.
Zhuang Xiao nudged the person next to him with his elbow: "I have something to do and I'm going over there.
You guys can have fun."
Pei Yan was slightly disappointed: "I'm busy.
If you go to the set, I'll go too.
"Oh, if you don't want to go to the set, I'll go back to your house and wait for you."
Zhuang Xiao said: "Youhui will accompany you.
You can go to the beach and wander around.
The bay here is very beautiful."
Pei Yan thought to herself, not as good-looking as you.
Liang Youhui is a person with a really enthusiastic personality.
He talks non-stop and flashes several popular tourist attractions on his phone, saying that he can take him out on a yacht and go fishing.
Pei Yan was noncommittal and thought to himself, "Young Master Liang, who wants to accompany you, a slutty little guy with a face that is passionately in love, is your partner a policeman?
Who the hell can't guess that we singles are shabby?
He is just a lonely seven-hole."
Bleeding single, I’m not going to date you, so why should I talk to you?
Pei Yan stroked the table, sipped a teacup, and watched Zhuang Xiao walk out.
Zhuang Xiao drove all the way and put on a talking headset in the car.
The usually good-tempered Bao Xiaopang on the other side of the phone was already having a blast.
"Boss, I heard that Mr.
Pei came here again, and he came to find you.
Is this person with you now?"
Bao Pengzhi asked.
"You came here yesterday and stayed at my house.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What's wrong?"
Zhuang Xiao said.
"He stayed at our house last night."
Bao Pengzhi used "we".
After all, our dealer class is our own.
"If you entertain him, you will also provide food and accommodation."
"Someone said something on the Internet."
Zhuang Xiao thought that someone was just gossiping about the news again.
He didn't care about what he could get out of the relationship between friends.
"No, no."
Bao Pengzhi said, "Boss, let me tell you, the producer and the TV station will talk to you later about the fifth season of the drama Knights of the Distant Stars.
Can we return the formal contract?"
I haven’t signed it yet.
I promised verbally well, but as long as the words are written in black and white and there is no signature, the candidates may change.
It’s hard to say.
You have an idea, right?”
"I'm in Hong Kong now.
Lao Sha and his team have just joined the filming.
I was here to keep an eye on it.
I'll come over tomorrow to talk to you about it."
Bao Pengzhi then added, "Boss, what do you think about Pei Yan?"
This man flew all the way here just to catch up with you and catch up.
Don't be ridiculous.
Everyone is so busy and the schedule is so tight.
Why do you think he is here?"
Zhuang Xiao's face suddenly turned gloomy while driving, and he remained silent.
Bao Xiaopang said: "Pei Yan's team went to audition for The Knights.
Several people came.
His company's manager and team are actually in Los Angeles.
Did he tell you about this?
Is this guy here to travel?"
"My guess is right, he must not have told you the truth.
"Boss, please wait until I come back to talk to both of them.
Don't interfere yet.
Wait until I come back to deal with this matter." gd1806102:
