Chapter 171 Telepathy
Ye Jingxi opened the treasure chest, inside was a portrait of him. In the portrait, he was wearing silver-rimmed glasses and a suit, his features were clear and gentle yet exuded a sense of aloofness, and the background seemed to be a hotel corridor.
"This is the first time I've seen you." Wen Wei also looked at the painting. "I've always wanted to paint you, but after several attempts, it never quite suited my taste."
He smiled and said, "I've been drawing for a long time, and finally I have this satisfactory work."
The camera flew to Ye Jingxi's shoulder, and together they gazed at the painting for a long time.
[This painting is absolutely superb... The colors, composition, and expressiveness are all impeccable; he truly is a genius painter.]
[I don't understand painting, but just by looking at this painting, you can feel how much the artist loved the person in it.]
So, does this mean Wen Wei's creative block is over?
Wen Wei's eyes shone with tenderness: "Thank you for coming into my life and being there for me through so many difficult times."
When Ye Jingxi wasn't smiling, her expression was cool and solemn: "I should be the one saying thank you, both for this painting and for your presence."
He lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, his usual gentle and refined smile had returned, but with a touch more affection in it: "Awei, thank you."
Wen Wei stared at him blankly, her lips slightly pursed, as if she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.
"Turn the painting over and take a look."
Ye Jingxi did as instructed. Behind the picture frame was a small hidden compartment. He pressed it with his finger, and the compartment popped open, revealing... a key.
"I bought a new house in the federal area, here are the keys," Wen Wei said. "You'll have to register your facial, fingerprint, and voiceprint information yourself."
Ye Jingxi's pupils contracted slightly. After a moment, he slowly picked up the key, held it tightly in his hand, his movements full of respect and affection.
His expression was complicated: "Honey, turn to the last page of the photo album."
Wen Wei raised an eyebrow slightly. Were there still things he had missed in the photo album?
He quickly took out the photo album again and flipped straight to the last page.
Where photos should have been stored, there was instead a key with an intricate pattern, typical of the Imperial style.
Ye Jingxi chuckled and said, "I also bought a house in the Empire. We really are on the same wavelength and thought of the same thing."
In the past, they rarely saw each other, but now that they are about to start a family, they both want to be as close to each other as possible.
Wen Wei clutched the photo album tightly, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly put the album down and threw herself into Ye Jingxi's arms.
Ye Jingxi smiled and patted him on the back.
Wen Shumu watched from the side, his face full of emotion, while Ke Mo patiently waited for the two to separate before looking at the next group.
Jiang Hong was so engrossed in watching Wen Wei and Ye Jingxi exchange gifts that she was suddenly called on by the director and didn't react immediately.
Jiang Xun decisively opened the treasure chest that Jiang Hong had given him; inside were two gifts.
One is a custom-made microphone in a deep space gray color scheme, with a smooth, mirror-like texture that exudes understated luxury.
Jiang Hong touched his nose: "Aren't we about to go on tour? I was thinking of giving you something practical."
A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Xun's eyes: "Let's use this for the next concert."
He looked at another gift, which was wrapped so tightly that he couldn't tell what it was from the box.
Jiang Xun raised his hand to dismantle it, but Jiang Hong suddenly said nervously, "Brother, be careful! Take it slowly!"
Jiang Xun slowed down his movements and gently opened the gift box.
【Huh? Why is it a black and red mecha?】
[This looks familiar.]
[Holy crap, it's a limited edition Blazing Yama figure!!!]
[Ahhh, I remember this gift box! It was a limited edition of 100 across the entire galaxy, and it even included Yan Zezheng's autograph!]
My brother missed out and was upset for a long time.
[I know Hongbao is a fan of ARES, is Xun Ge one too?]
[A longtime fan of Jiang Xun said he had never heard of him liking mecha teams.]
[Then why send Xun Ge a mecha model?]
[You might not have liked it before, but now that Jiang Xun sang the theme song for this year's Mech League, maybe you'll start to like it?]
[Look at Yan Zezheng himself, he's right there on set, hahaha.]
The camera in the main live stream cleverly switched to Yan Zezheng's face. The red-haired Alpha suddenly saw his mecha model, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Jiang Hong lovingly touched the gift box: "This is a limited edition across the entire intergalactic world. It's a treasure I've been collecting for a long time. Since you like it too... I'll give it to you."
After learning that Jiang Xun was a fan of Yan Zezheng, he thought about it for a long time and finally asked his parents at home to send the mecha over via interstellar express as a gift to Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the black and red mecha, and said softly, "Thank you, I will cherish it."
"It's my turn to open the box." Jiang Hong rubbed his hands excitedly and opened the box.
The moment he saw the contents, his expression froze.
No wonder the treasure chest was so heavy; it was packed full of books. How could it not be heavy?!
They were all about how to improve acting skills.
Jiang Hong said resentfully, "I don't think my acting skills are so bad that I need to read so many books."
Jiang Xun laughed: "Flip through it again."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong perked up and searched for a long time, even taking out several books from the box. Finally, he discovered something at the bottom of the box that looked like a card and two admission tickets.
"Imperial Star Grand Theater...a Hall of Fame member?!" Jiang Hong blinked incredulously, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
The other two tickets are for a play at the Imperial Star Grand Theater, starring the recently famous actor Carls. He has always wanted to see it live!
This membership card is extremely difficult to obtain; it not only requires a lot of money but also top-tier connections in the entertainment industry. However, once you get it, it's like having one foot in the door of the theater world.
[Is it really that amazing? I thought it meant becoming a member and getting to watch a few shows for free each year.]
That's for regular members; the "Hall of Fame" level members can participate in club salons organized by the Grand Theatre, and have direct access to top actors, directors, and playwrights.
The Federation is indeed much weaker than the Empire in terms of drama. Jiang Hong has been developing his career in film and television for years, and Xun Ge's gift has opened up a new path for him.
Jiang Xun said calmly, "Didn't you say you'd never been to the Imperial Star and wanted to go see it? Anjiang Star isn't too far from the Imperial Star, so we can go after the program ends."
Jiang Hong knew how valuable this gift was, so she pouted and said with reddened eyes, "Thank you, brother."
He whimpered a couple of times, then added, "Even though that gift box already has Zheng Ge's autograph, if you want a new one but are too embarrassed to ask him for one, I'll help you get it, sob sob sob..."
Words were not enough to express Jiang Hong's gratitude, so he decided to show it through actions.
Jiang Xun: "...Then I'll leave it to you."
Before long, the hashtag #JiangHongHelpsJiangXunGetYanZezheng'sAutograph# climbed to the top of Xingbo's trending searches.
Of course, the parties involved are unaware of this matter yet, and their attention is focused on the two guests in the third group.
Ludwig had been eagerly waiting to know what Chuzhao would give him, and when it was finally their turn, he hurriedly opened the box.
The first thing that catches the eye is a... plush lion doll.
The lion also has a jeweled rose in its mouth.
