Chapter 96 New Year Greetings
Chapter 96 New Year Greetings
"Huff... huff..."
Hu Ke suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily.
His girlfriend, Huang Xining, also sat up, asking worriedly, "Did you have another nightmare?"
After a moment of silence, Hu Ke let out a long breath, took the towel his girlfriend handed him, and wiped away the sweat and... tears from his face.
After that harrowing fall from a horse, the film crew took a break, and he returned to his home in Zhonghai to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
During the day, he was no different from ordinary people, and his mood gradually calmed down. But at night, he had nightmares one after another.
The dream returned to the scene from that time, except that Xu Jinyan was not present.
The horse bumped into a person, and he fell off the horse, hitting a large rock. The intense realism of the dream woke him up. This was his first dream.
Later, he even dreamed about what happened next: he was injured and his face was covered in blood, his right eye was bandaged, and everything was pitch black.
Then, he dreamed that he had undergone more than ten surgeries, major and minor, and had more than a hundred stitches on his face and neck before slowly recovering.
Just now, he dreamed that one of the people hit by the horse on the film set had unfortunately died, which caused him to break down emotionally and burst into tears.
He got up, dressed, and gradually calmed down.
Recalling the incredibly vivid dreams of the past few days, he had a vague feeling that this was a revelation from heaven.
This nightmare that transcends time and space may have been something that could have happened in the first place.
He is someone who believes in fate and destiny.
After getting ready, he said to his girlfriend, "Let's have breakfast first. After that, we should go to Xu Jinyan's house to pay our respects for the New Year."
……
……
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, at Lakeview Royal Villa.
This year, the entire Xu family came to Xu Jinyan's house to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
On the living room sofa right now.
Yan Zhi was holding Nan Feng's hand, asking about her well-being. She would visit her teacher's home every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
To be honest, this was her first time visiting Xu Jinyan's home, and also the first time she had met any members of the Xu family other than the Xu family of three. In previous years, she had always visited Teacher Xu's home near Dongxi Opera School.
Meeting Xu Jinyan's grandmother and other family members made her feel a little uncomfortable at first, like meeting the parents. Fortunately, the Xu family members all had very nice personalities, which made her feel very comfortable.
"Xiao Feng, I need to tell you something, remember it!"
Yan Zhi whispered to Xu Jinyan as he left.
Seeing how serious Sister Yan was, Nanfeng leaned in to listen.
"You need to open your eyes and see some people clearly."
"You're a smart child. You should know that the most important thing in life is to follow your heart. Never compromise yourself!"
Nanfeng almost laughed when she heard the first sentence, realizing who she was talking about.
But upon hearing the next sentence, she turned to look and found that Sister Yan's eyes were full of sincerity and affection. She was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She held Sister Yan's hand tightly, moved by her concern for her—a concern she had never felt before from an elder or family member.
Yan Zhi patted her hand as well. Ever since Xu Wenqing told her about his son's outrageous behavior, she knew that Nanfeng, being so beautiful, would definitely "fall into a bad situation".
Sure enough, the south wind came to offer its New Year's greetings today.
Judging from her interactions with Xu Jinyan, their relationship is no longer just that of senior and junior classmates; it's just unknown how far it has progressed.
So she subtly reminded Nanfeng a few times, worried that this child from such an unfortunate family might be hurt again!
At that moment, Xu Jinyan received Hu Ke and another person who came to pay New Year's greetings.
He looked Hu Ke up and down carefully: "I feel like there's been a change in your demeanor."
Hu Ke looked at Xu Jinyan in surprise, as she had never told anyone about her nightmares.
Xu Jinyan's physical fitness, reaction speed, and keen insight made him feel that Xu Jinyan was simply like a martial arts master.
The three entered the house, put down their gifts, and Hu Ke then extended New Year's greetings to Xu Jinyan's elders:
"Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, Happy New Year! This is my girlfriend, Huang Xining. We've come here today to wish our elders a Happy New Year. We wish Grandma good health and longevity, and Uncle and Aunt and their families a prosperous and happy life!"
The Xu family invited the two to sit down and begin chatting.
Most people are now connected to the entertainment industry in some way, so there are many topics to talk about.
During this process, the two also saw Nanfeng sitting next to Xu Jinyan's mother, which surprised them.
I had heard that Nanfeng and Xu Jinyan were senior and junior classmates, but I didn't expect their relationship to be so good.
"Some time ago, when Jinyan visited the set of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' I fell off my horse. Fortunately, Jinyan caught me in time, which saved me from serious injury."
Upon hearing Hu Ke's words, everyone looked at Xu Jinyan in surprise, as they had never heard him mention it before!
Xu Jinyan: "...Have you ever seen a chivalrous person who goes around showing off after doing a good deed?"
"Hahaha……"
The old lady smiled happily: "They're all good children, it's good that they're safe and sound!"
Hu Ke smiled but spoke in a clearly serious tone, "I've come today for two reasons: first, to wish my elders a Happy New Year, and second, to express my sincere gratitude to Master Xu for saving my life. I will never forget it!"
The two sat for less than two hours before politely declining to stay for dinner and leaving.
Huang Xining couldn't help but glance back and say, "Is Nanfeng staying for dinner at the Xu family's? Their relationship seems unusual!"
Hu Ke shook his head: "Nanfeng is Jinyan's father's student. He joined the master's school in the second year of junior high school, so it's normal for him to stay for a meal."
He said that, but inwardly he was amazed at how popular Jin Yan was with women...
He saw Dilraba chatting with someone surnamed Xu at the airport. The phone ended up with Yang Mi, and she continued chatting with him.
I heard Yang Mi has already divorced...
Later on set, he saw Dilraba chatting with a gentle smile on her face once again.
That time he saw clearly that it was Xu Jinyan.
In addition, his selfless rescue of Li Yitong and Mao Xiaotong was incredibly powerful for these girls.
If he were a woman, he might have already offered himself to her.
Then, a few days ago, Mao Xiaotong also broke up with her boyfriend...
……
……
After having lunch together, Xu Jinyan took Nanfeng for a stroll around.
He naturally took her hand, and Nanfeng paused for a moment but did not let go.
She asked, "How did you manage to catch Hu Ke? You even got him to come and wish you a Happy New Year, and he brought his girlfriend with him."
"If it weren't for today, I wouldn't have known he had a girlfriend, which shows how much he values and trusts you."
Xu Jinyan then briefly recounted what had happened that day.
Nanfeng looked at him in surprise: "You're that amazing?"
He made it sound simple, but Nanfeng was also an actor and knew very well that when an accident happened on set, there was simply no time to react.
Xu Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "I have many other strengths as well."
Nanfeng rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Sister Yan told me to keep my eyes open when I'm with you."
Xu Jinyan tightened his grip on her hand and said with a grin, "It's too late. You think you can run away after holding my hand?"
Nanfeng tugged at his hand but couldn't pull it away. He shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know how someone as devoted as Teacher Xu could have a son like you?"
