House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 302

Chapter 302 – Not Bad, You Have Good Eyes

When she saw Yang Luoqi, Xixi seemed to think of something. She smiled happily, pulling her father’s hand while jumping and shouting, “Papa, I know what Qiqi wants to say.”

Wu Yue stopped her with a smile and said, “Xixi, don’t say it yet. Let Qiqi speak first.”

She also explained to Yang Yi, “I just want her to exercise her courage. This child’s personality is a little too weak.”

Yang Yi smiled understandingly. He looked at Yang Luoqi, who was shyly hiding behind her mother. When she usually greeted him and Xixi, she was also shy like this. This appearance was so much like Xixi before she went to kindergarten!

However, Xixi’s own personality wasn’t so introverted. She was just shy, so after experiencing kindergarten, the little girl’s courage has grown a lot.

In order not to make Yang Luoqi nervous, Yang Yi squatted down and looked at her with a smile.

Encouraged by Wu Yue, Yang Luoqi mustered up her courage, walked up, and said softly, “Uncle Yang Yi, can I come to your house to play on the weekend?”

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment. He thought the little girl was going to say something else!

Immediately, he smiled and said, “Of course you can. Uncle doesn’t have any plans this weekend. You can come over and play with Xixi.”

“Hee hee, Qiqi, I told you my Papa would agree!” Xixi happily ran up and took Yang Luoqi’s hand, and the two little girls laughed happily.

At this time, Wu Yue explained to Yang Yi that this Sat.u.r.day there was an English proficiency test scheduled for Yang Guo to proctor, and Wu Yue was also going to take cla.s.ses during her free time on the weekend. She had enrolled in a course at an adult university. Both of them didn’t have time to take care of Yang Luoqi, and Yang Luoqi had been talking about how “Xin’er often goes to Xixi’s house to play” and was full of longing for Yang Yi’s home. Wu Yue thought of asking Yang Yi to help take care of her daughter.

Unlike Lan Xin, who often stayed at their home for a whole day, Yang Luoqi would only come to play for a half day. After Yang Guo finished proctoring the exam, he would pick up his daughter.

“Of course, there’s no problem with that. Xixi is actually a bit bored on weekends, so I’m even happier that she can have a friend her age to play with!” Yang Yi said with a smile.

……

When they got home, Xixi didn’t even bother going upstairs. After Yang Yi parked the car, she couldn’t wait to ran to the back to find Yang Huan. The little girl in her down jacket looked puffy, but her little long legs1still ran very fast. In the blink of an eye, Yang Yi couldn’t see her figure anymore.

At this moment, Yang Huan was also wearing a coffee shop uniform, chatting and laughing with Ding Xiang at the bar.

After some persuasion, Yang Huan finally made Yang Yi give in. She got the same uniform as Ding Xiang and began to officially transform into a coffee shop sister.

Yang Huan and Ding Xiang’s personalities actually complement each other quite well. Ding Xiang liked to work hard, making coffee and cakes, while Yang Huan didn’t have the patience to slowly grind coffee beans. Although she was also learning, they decided to split up the work. Ding Xiang worked at the bar, while Yang Huan was responsible for greeting the customers and delivering coffee to each table.

With such an arrangement, Yang Huan was satisfied, and Ding Xiang also liked it. Of course, most of the time, neither of them had anything to do, so Yang Huan would chat with Ding Xiang and pretended to study, letting Ding Xiang guide her.

After all, she had previously agreed with Yang Yi that helping at the coffee shop wasn’t the main purpose, but studying was the focus… Yang Yi was skeptical as he had little experience in this area. How could he know that these children liked to use excuses like “buying a phone for studying, not for playing games” to fool their parents and family.

Fortunately, after being entrusted by Yang Yi, Ding Xiang often reminded Yang Huan to study and also conscientiously prepared study materials for her. She even read through the high school textbooks and exam papers of Jiangnan Province, and marked out the key and difficult points.

“Little aunt, Little Aunt!” Xixi ran over, bouncing and jumping. Before she arrived, her clear and pleasant voice was heard first.

“Xixi is back?” Yang Huan couldn’t help but smile when she saw her little niece. “Is there something happy today? Why are you so happy?”

“It’s not a happy event! I’m looking for you, little aunt. Um, I want little aunt to help Xixi.” The little girl bounced on the round stool in front of the bar.

“What kind of help?” Yang Huan asked curiously.

“Can you pick me up, little aunt? My friends want to see you!”

“Sure! But Xixi, you need to tell me first why your friends want to see me?” Yang Huan found it very interesting.

“Because I told them that my little aunt is the coolest!” Xixi raised her little head and said proudly.

Cool? Yang Huan thought that word was pretty good.

She smiled proudly and gave Xixi a thumbs-up, saying, “Not bad, not bad. You have good eyes!”2

Yang Yi also came to the shop at this time. He looked around and saw Du Yuanlei who was already sitting in the shop waiting for him. He took a ma.n.u.script and a USB flash drive wrapped in a kraft paper bag from the bar.

After being busy for a few days, Yang Yi has already written the script for this micro-movie. Because he needed to expand the MV into a micro-movie that lasts for more than ten minutes, he added some content and dialogue, of course, all based on the original plot structure.

Du Yuanlei has cla.s.ses in the afternoon, so she has to come and pick up the script now. Yang Yi didn’t directly send her an email because there were some details he needed to explain to her again.

Du Yuanlei’s expression was a bit strange. After Yang Yi finished speaking, she took the script and lowered her voice to say, ” Teacher Yang, you are Mu Li’ang, right?”

“You know?” Yang Yi looked at her in surprise.

Yang Yi was not surprised that Du Yuanlei had seen through his ident.i.ty. He even thought that Du Yuanlei’s reaction was slow, because if she opened the script inside the kraft paper bag now, she would definitely find that the lyrics and music of “Fairy Tale” were all signed by Mu Li’ang.

Yang Yi was indeed the screenwriter, but Mu Li’ang reputation was clearly more prominent in the industry. Yang Yi still hoped that this micro-movie could attract more popularity to “Weibo”.

There was also a reason why Du Yuanlei was slow to realize. After all, she was wholeheartedly focused on becoming a good director, so she paid less attention to news in the music industry. Moreover, Mu Li’ang was not a singer, so his popularity was naturally lower.

“Didn’t Guo Ziyi sing your song before? At the Freshman Party!” Du Yuanlei said with a wry smile. “Later, the party CD we produced was seen by one or two record companies, and they came to me and asked for your contact information…”

Du Yuanlei didn’t have Mu Li’ang’s contact information, and at that time, she was unwilling to go to Guo Ziyi. In addition, she was busy preparing for her own movie, so she was annoyed and just casually sent those people away.

“After listening to your song ‘Fairy Tale,’ I remembered this matter when I went back,” Du Yuanlei said.

Yang Yi nodded slightly, but he didn’t care much. He smiled and said, “Since you know, please continue to keep it a secret for me in the future! I have no intention of making a debut.”
