Chapter 144 Running with the Ball
"I'm innocent!! An innocent straight man!"
With a drawn-out tail tone, Zhang Bowen escaped from the coffee shop.
The customers in the coffee shop looked at Zhang Bowen's back, then looked at He Zhining and whispered to each other.
Xiao Zhen said, "You even told him."
He Zhining put away the cup that Zhang Bowen had knocked over and wiped the table with a napkin. "After all, he is also the father of the child. Of course, he has the right to know."
"Really?" Xiao Zhen said with a smile, "I think you just don't want Zhang Bowen to take advantage of An Keke when she's in a bad mood."
He Zhining was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right. The good news should be shared with everyone."
I really don't know if this Lepasian is too naive or very smart. Xiao Zhen thought to himself, I don't hate him.
Mr. Cat lowered his head and licked a mouthful of juice. He raised his head and said, "Your galaxy is called..."
"Bodi Galaxy."
"It's not close to here. Why did you come here?" said Mr. Cat.
He Zhining said: "Because my mother asked me to come to this planet to invest in an animation."
"Your mother? Animation?" Xiao Zhen asked curiously.
"Yes, this is one of the main reasons why I came here."
"What animation?" Xiao Zhen remembered a theme on the menu and said, "It can't be that Losa animation."
"Yes, it's the Losar Fox animation that's very popular now."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhen asked in surprise, "You came here across the galaxy just to invest in an animation that is only for locals?"
"In fact, this animation was also planned to be broadcast on channels in several regions of the universe. But my mother and her friends insisted on investing in broadcasting it on this planet, and the target audience was also the locals."
"Does your mother have any connection with this planet? Why did she let you come to this remote corner to invest in animation?"
"I don't know why."
"That is to say, your main purpose was to come here to invest in an animation, and to go sightseeing and vacation, and then you accidentally met An Keke in the local area."
"Yes."
"Excuse me, Mr. Sponsor, do you make money from animation?"
"You know, putting a lot of effort into making animation, especially locally, always results in losses." He Zhining smiled, "Fortunately, the peripherals are selling pretty well."
So this "brother-in-law" came from the other side of the galaxy to this remote corner to invest in an animation that won't make much money, and then he will probably become a single father with his lover running away and the baby on his own. This really makes people cry and sigh.
"Xiao Zhen." He Zhining said, "You call it Earth, right? In the Milky Way, the official name of this planet is Lola, which means peaceful blue. The name Zhining is taken from the pronunciation of Lepas, which means blue in Lepas. And I met her on this peaceful blue planet. I believe this is destined."
“…”
"No matter what choice An Keke makes, I can accept it and I won't regret it."
At this moment, He Zhining looked calm. After confessing to An Keke and Zhang Bowen, the gloom on his face had been swept away, and he looked much more relaxed. He still looked best when he smiled. When he talked about An Keke, his eyebrows were still full of affection. Xiaozhen knew that even if An Keke could not accept him, he would always keep her in his heart.
"Okay, I have one last question." Xiao Zhen said seriously.
"What?"
"Excuse me, has Luo Sa's official match Jiao Jiao been sealed? Is there still hope for Xing Mei? The sponsor should give me a quick death!"
“…”
A few days passed afterwards.
An Keke locked herself in her house and refused to answer anyone's calls. An Yuan had no choice but to knock on her door and saw her wrapped in a blanket and cooking instant noodles.
"Have you been eating instant noodles these days?" An Yuan looked around and saw instant noodle bowls piled up on the table.
"Yeah." An Keke's hair was like a bird's nest, her eyes were dark, and she responded listlessly.
She turned off the gas and poured the instant noodles from the pot into a bowl. An Keke ate the noodles slurpingly.
An Yuan sat patiently beside her, chatting with her casually without mentioning her He Zhining.
After finishing a bowl of instant noodles, An Keke suddenly put the bowl on the table and said, "Men are so annoying!"
"ah?"
"I figured it out these past two days!! Men are creatures that talk to themselves and don't consider the feelings of the other party in the relationship at all. How could he be like this!!"
An Yuan looked at her eldest niece and asked tentatively, "Have you figured it out?"
"Well, I figured it out! I'm going back."
"The engagement is not cancelled?"
"Who said I want to go back and get married? Anyway, I don't want to get married. If they want to get married, they can do it themselves."
"So, what about He Zhining?"
When she heard He Zhining, An Keke fell silent. After a while, she said, "I don't know."
"Then you still haven't figured it out."
"I, I just can't face him." An Keke covered her face and started crying, "I still love him very much. But I really can't meet him now. I want to go home, I just want to leave here. Maybe, after some time, I will figure it out."
"Don't cry, don't cry." An Yuan hugged An Keke gently, "It's a good thing to have an unforgettable love. When this period of time is over, you will find that in addition to men, there are many, many things in life that are worth cherishing."
"Aunt, do you know? I feel that if I miss Xiao He, I will never be attracted to other men in my life. The first time I met him was in a movie theater, and he happened to sit next to me. When the movie ended and the lights came on, I could see his face clearly. He was crying. A grown man was crying because of the plot of the movie. The moment I saw his crystal tears flowing from the corners of his eyes to his chin, I knew I was done. I wanted to hand him a napkin, but I saw that he was stunned at the time, so I handed him my phone directly."
"cell phone?"
"Yeah. He took my phone and gave me his number. That's how we met. It sounds stupid, doesn't it? But for me, it was the most dreamy and romantic encounter in my life."
"This is indeed very romantic." An Yuan said softly, "But your future is unknown. Even if you don't love Zhang Bowen , maybe you will encounter more different choices in the future."
"I know, aunt, there is only He Zhining. He is really the only one I have. I will never fall in love with other men again."
"But do you want to break up now?"
"Because how could he do this... wuwuwu," An Keke cried, "I hate Zhang Bowen so much!! Zhang Bowen is such a bastard!! He Zhining is also a bastard!! He didn't even tell me first!! You are also a bastard!!"
An Keke shouted angrily: "Even a chicken knew it before me, He Zhining is really too much!!!"
"What chicken?" An Yuan asked.
"The chicken in your house!! He would rather tell the chicken first than tell me!! Auntie, is it too much?"
An Yuan blinked. She thought that Keke was really emotionally unstable, so she was talking incoherently, but now was not a good time to correct her logic. So she comforted her, "Yes, yes, you are right," and An Keke cried happily.
…
An Yuan announced to the whole family that An Keke was about to leave the city and return to Beijing, and she specially booked a table in the hotel to see An Keke off. It was rare for cousin Keke to come over, so the whole family had to go and see her off together.
"Sister Keke is leaving so soon?" Yan Zhu said with regret. This time, cousin Keke bought Yan Zhu a bunch of toys and cute clothes, and took Yan Zhu to the playground. Now Yan Zhu's heart has been completely conquered by cousin Keke.
"Your sister Coco will come again later."
"So Sister Keke is going to marry Brother Zhang or that Brother Xiao He?"
An Yuan stretched out her finger and gently pinched Yan Zhu's nose, "How come you, little kid, care so much about your sister Coco's affairs?"
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Because Sister Keke said a lot of good things about Brother Xiao He. I also want a brother-in-law like that."
"Don't think I don't know. You've been bribed by your sister Coco. It's too early for you to do these things."
"I understand. People who like each other should be together. Sister Keke and Brother Xiaohe like each other, so they should be together." Yan Zhu seemed very experienced. "That's how it's played out in TV dramas and animations."
Xiaozhen interrupted, "But Losa and Xingmei are in love, but they are not together."
Yan Zhu was struck by lightning. She shouted in a vicious tone: "Because the official is dead!!! The official is dead!"
Well, it seems that there is no need to tell her that the brother Xiao He she likes is the financial sponsor of the deceased official.
The car drove into the parking lot. An Yuan chose a high-end restaurant that was well-received in the city.
Led by the waiter, the family sat down. An Keke soon came over. Unlike the elaborate dresses she had worn in the previous times, she was dressed casually and simply.
"Thank you, auntie." An Keke sat down with a relaxed look on her face, "I knew that auntie was the best."
"That's good to know. I ordered all your favorite dishes. Have a good meal and have a good rest after flying back home."
"Yeah!" An Keke nodded with a smile and glanced down at her cell phone.
"Coco is not planning to get married this time when she returns home, right?"
"right."
Yan An asked: "What does Keke plan to do?"
An Keke's eyes were fixed on the curtains of the restaurant and she didn't say anything.
"cocoa?"
"Oh." An Keke came back to her senses, "I haven't decided yet. But I also plan to learn from my aunt and open my own studio."
"Studio? Any specific ideas?"
"My major is directing, and I have made some travel videos before. My account has accumulated some fans on major video websites, and I am almost 10,000 fans now."
"Oh awesome!"
"Nothing. It's not difficult to get 10,000 followers by posting interesting videos steadily. I'm just thinking about the subsequent topics." An Keke glanced at her phone again. "Nowadays, there is a kind of online celebrity account that shows off wealth. The selling point is expensive ingredients and food and drinks in expensive restaurants. This way, you can attract fans very quickly. The more high-profile you show off your wealth, the faster you will attract fans. I was wondering whether I should learn this approach."
Yan An smiled and said, "From your expression, you don't want to simply show off your wealth to attract attention, right?"
"Yes. I get tired of watching videos showing off wealth. I want to focus on other things. Life actually has many interesting details. I haven't decided what to do specifically yet."
"That's great. Uncle supports you." Yan An found what she said interesting, so he talked to her in detail about the current platform and the selling points and target groups of internet celebrity videos.
Yan Zhu suddenly said, "Sister Keke, you have looked at your phone about twenty times since you sat down."
"Ah..." An Keke held down her phone a little embarrassedly, "Are there so many?"
"Yes. I counted them carefully." Yan Zhu said seriously.
"Look, the dishes are all served." An Keke pointed at the dish that had just been served and said with a smile, "I've eaten this frozen bamboo shoot before, it's really delicious. Zhuzhu, have some of this." She reached out to pick up some food for Yan Zhu, but accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the red wine dripped all over her.
"Ah..." An Keke hurriedly picked up a napkin and wiped it.
An Yuan couldn't help but said, "Keke, that's not a napkin, that's your cell phone..."
"Ah! Look how confused I am!" An Keke put down her phone awkwardly and took out a napkin.
Seeing that she was so distracted, An Yuan asked softly, "Keke, have you told He Zhining that you are leaving?"
An Keke's eyes drooped, and she whispered, "I sent him a message to tell him I was leaving."
"What did he say?"
"He wished me all the best." An Keke held the tissue, "There was nothing else."
"If that's the case, then let's cut it off now. Men are not everything in your life."
"I know, I know." An Keke's tears flowed uncontrollably, "I know. But I just can't help but think, how could he, how could he not say a word to keep me. He clearly said that I was the love of his life. How could he not say a word to keep me? He's too much!"
"Isn't that just right? Seeing his..."
Beep.
Xiao Zhen glanced at his phone and said, "Because He Zhining is leaving too."
"What?"
An Keke raised her head and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"Something happened in his hometown, and he has to go back immediately." Xiaozhen said while looking at the phone.
"What?? He wants to leave now?? He wants to leave after having a child?"
An Yuan's expression changed drastically: "What child?"
"He Zhining!! How could he be so excessive!! He even told you first!! On what basis!" An Keke stood up, her face flushed with anger, "Does your chicken know about this too?"
Xiao Zhen nodded.
"He Zhining, you bastard! Am I not even as good as a chicken in your eyes???"
"Because the journey home is a bit dangerous, he doesn't want you to worry." Xiaozhen explained.
Yan An asked, "What chicken?"
An Yuan then asked, "What child?"
"No!! I want to ask him face to face!! This man can't just walk away after having a child!" An Keke shouted, she turned to Yan An and An Yuan and said, "I'm sorry, aunt and uncle, I want to ask He Zhining for clarification!"
"Calm down..."
"I'm sorry, aunt. I won't leave! I'm going to find He Zhining. I, I must see him!" An Keke strode away.
The Yan family looked at the new dishes on the table.
Yan Zhu picked up the frozen bamboo shoots and said sweetly, "It's delicious. I know that true love cannot be separated by external forces."
Yan An asked An Yuan: "What does chicken mean?"
An Yuan said: "I was just wondering what your child means!"
At this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Bowen shouted, "Keke, I am innocent, I am really a straight man! That child has nothing to do with me!"
The Yan family looked at him in silence.
