Cappuccino Rhapsody

The layout of Qi Xu's house is not much different from that of Ling Jiangyuan's house, except that the decoration of his house is mainly black, white and gray, and there are no green plants with a sense of life. When the refrigerator is opened, there are only a few packs of quick-frozen dumplings and a few bottles of Laoganma hot sauce ——It was put down when Mr. Qi Rou came over.

He went home, only to find that he was still wearing Ling Jiangyuan's pajamas, but his own set of clothes fell into Ling Jiangyuan's house.

Forget it, no more.

Qi Xu took off his pajamas and changed into his own clothes.

Turn on the TV, there was a midnight soap opera playing, Qi Xu watched it for a while and found it boring, he pulled out a pen and started to write lyrics, but he couldn't write anything after writing for a long time, and sat like that until dawn.

For a long time, Qi Xu never saw Ling Jiangyuan again.

What happened that night seemed to be just a dream. If it wasn't for the pajamas that were still in his closet, Qi Xu might really have thought he was hallucinating.

At the end of summer, Qi Xu received an invitation, which was specially requested by a big client - one of the hottest traffic niche nowadays.

Qi Xu didn't want to accept it at first, but the other party's proposition was very interesting, the title of the album was "Empty".Qi Xu spent a week writing a first draft and handing it over, and the other party invited him to meet and talk in detail.

The person Qi Xu saw when he opened the door was Ling Jiangyuan.

Ling Jiangyuan was also obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded with a smile and said, "It's you."

"why you?"

Ling Jiangyuan is obviously not a so-called traffic niche.Although Qi Xu doesn't chase stars, but because of his career needs, he also pays attention to who is popular in the entertainment industry, what styles are popular, and knows what the so-called small traffic grows like.

"Xiao Fang was blocked by the paparazzi, and it will take about 10 minutes." Ling Jiangyuan pushed the list in front of him and said, "What do you want to drink?"

"Any red wine is fine." Qi Xu looked at him, "Are you his manager? Or what?"

"Neither." Ling Jiangyuan seemed to want to keep it a secret, and cut off the words flatly, "Your clothes have been dry-cleaned, and there are more than 1 shirts, so let's get them sometime."

"Oh." Qi Xu thanked the drinker, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

Not very tasty.

When Fang Ziyun came in, the two were silent, and neither of them took the initiative to say anything.He has a cheerful and outgoing personality, and he broke the deadlock in a moment: "Mr. Qi? Sorry for waiting, I was blocked by paparazzi, and I managed to escape."

"En." Qi Xu nodded, his expression indifferent.

Fang Ziyun introduced with the same smile on his face: "This is my partner Qi Xu this time. This is my mentor when I was in graduate school, Ling Jiangyuan. Let's get to know each other, don't just sit still."

Ling Jiangyuan stretched out his hand cooperatively: "Mr. Qi, hello."

Qi Xu remembered well, this should be the first time Ling Jiangyuan called himself by such an adult name.He thought it was ridiculous, squinted his eyes, leaned back, and said casually, "Hello."

Ling Jiangyuan didn't feel embarrassed either.

Fang Ziyun cleared his throat, and noticed the subtle difference in the air, but he observed the words and expressions, and naturally mixed in, introducing: "Accordingly, my agent should be responsible for this matter, but he is very busy recently, so I specially Tell me to ask Teacher Ling if I can help."

Qi Xu sat up straight, put the first draft on the table, put his index finger against a thin piece of paper, and gently pushed in the direction of Ling Jiangyuan: "Teacher Ling, come and take a look."

Qi Xu didn't expect Ling Jiangyuan to become a tutor.

But it's quite normal when you think about it. When he was seventeen or eighteen, Ling Jiangyuan was planning to go abroad to study for a Ph. D., but at that time Qi Xu thought that the other party would stick to his dream no matter what.

But dreams are like flowers in a mirror and moons in water. With a simple wave, they disappear.

Ling Jiangyuan pointed out that there were still a few inconspicuous drumming problems in the first draft, but the lyrics were perfect without any flaws.Fang Ziyun immediately finalized the idea of ​​cooperating with Qi Xu, and even prepared the contract.

Qi Xu frowned slightly, and smiled lightly: "I'm going to think about it again."

Fang Ziyun was stunned: "Ah? Isn't it, Brother Qi, you are kidding me. I have read the first draft."

"It's okay to give it to you." Qi Xu said, "Teacher Ling is a perfectionist. I'm worried that he's too picky and will affect my performance. A job that can be completed in one or two months may take me half a year. That would be worth the candle.”

Ling Jiangyuan smiled.

At this time, Fang Ziyun realized some other meanings belatedly. After reacting for a long time, he suddenly realized: "You are old acquaintances."

"That's it."

"Yes."

The previous sentence was said by Ling Jiangyuan.

"Really?" Fang Ziyun asked again.

This time Qi Xu didn't speak again, Ling Jiangyuan sighed, looked at Qi Xu helplessly, and said, "Yes."

In fact, what Qi Xu said was half a joke, but half true.

When Ling Jiangyuan was younger, he never thought about developing into academic research—he was playing drums at that time.A person who is usually very gentle, when night falls, standing on the stage, a beam of light hits his sharp side face, the approachable kitten suddenly becomes a bloodthirsty beast, when he looks up, his Adam's apple goes up and down Scrolling just got sexy.

He also sang, his hoarse and sexy throat itching the little bit of flesh on the apex of everyone's heart, wishing he could give it all to him.

Every time Qi Xu wrote him words, he was so picky that they weren't even bullshit.

But this is the kind of person who would grab his wrist and ask after being picky: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat the scallion noodles outside our school?"

Qi Xu should have realized at that time that Ling Jiangyuan is not gentle, gentleness is just his illusion.

However, it took many years for Qi Xu to fully understand this truth.

"What do you want to eat?" Ling Jiangyuan looked at Qi Xu who was in a daze, and asked, "Steamed pork ribs with rice or—"

"Noodles with scallion oil?" Qi Xu said the answer in a trance, "Do you have it?"

Ling Jiangyuan was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are none here. But if you want to eat, I can take you to one next time. It's quite delicious."

"Then eat it next time." Qi Xu stood up and looked at Fang Ziyun, who seemed to be absent, "You can change the terms of the contract and send it to me when the time comes, and I will sign it."

Ling Jiangyuan didn't stop him.

The two still did not exchange contact information this time.

But the next meeting came very quickly because of Fang Ziyun's connection.

Qi Xu went back with a bottle of red wine, the lights were on, and a pair of women's sandals were placed at the door, Qi Xu suddenly felt a headache.

Pushing open the door, a hot pot smell wafted into the nostrils, a pot of red soup was placed on the coffee table in the living room, Qi Roujun sat on the ground, eating with red lips, and shouted indistinctly: "Come on, come on! It’s no fun eating alone!”

"Why are you here?" Qi Xu looked very impatient.Put the bag away, open the refrigerator, and it was stuffed to the brim again.

"I'm going to come and see my brother." Qi Roujun rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Little heartless thing, would you be able to live so happily now without me?"

Qi Xu put the red wine on the coffee table and said, "...boring."

Qi Roujun handed a pair of chopsticks into his hands, and asked gossipingly, "Hey, how are things with you and Xieyang?"

"It's not good." Qi Xu said, "I haven't contacted you anymore."

"You bastard!" Qi Roujun glared at him, "I took pictures with you and lied to your elder sister, didn't you?"

"That's right." Qi Xu said, "It's not what you said, even if it's coping, you still have to meet."

Qi Roujun was angry: "You let me tell you what's good about you... After all these years, you haven't had a single girlfriend. You really plan to live alone for the rest of your life."

"Yes." Qi Xu said, "No way?"

"No way!" Qi Rou-jun looked at him with a look of reluctance, and got so angry that he kicked him lightly with his foot, and said, "Then next week is Dad's birthday, do you want to go back?"

Qi Xu paused, looked up at her, and frowned slightly: "Qi Roujun, why do you always want to ease the relationship between me and him? Go and make things difficult for your father, you think it's for the sake of your children?" Do you know?"

Qi Roujun: "..."

"I won't go." Qi Xu said, "Don't introduce me any more girlfriends."

Mr. Qi Rou shook the colander in his hand, looked away, and stared at the muddy red soup for a full minute.

She finally said: "You can't go on like this."

Qi Xu didn't speak anymore, because he knew that their family was all of the same virtue, paranoid and stubborn, and accepted death, how could this thing that hadn't changed for a long time change overnight.

No one can convince anyone, so just don't try to persuade.

This is also the idea that Qi Roujun has been adhering to for the past few years.

She kept introducing blind dates, and kept failing.

And Qi Xu kept coping with things.

Qi Roujun cleaned up the bottom of the hot pot, and opened the refrigerator door: "All the things you like are put in there for you. When you really don't want to make them, just cook some quick-frozen ones."

Qi Xu closed his eyes, leaned on the sofa, and didn't speak.

Qi Roujun looked at him, and suddenly said: "You know, I've often been thinking about a question these few years."

Qi Xu still didn't speak, but Qi Roujun continued: "Maybe I shouldn't let you know him at that time."

After the final ending, Qi Roujun smiled and said, "Otherwise you wouldn't be what you are now."

Qi Xu's voice seemed careless: "Who are you talking about?"

Qi Roujun knew that he was pretending, but he didn't open his mouth to expose his totally useless lie.

There are some words that should be kept in the bottom of my heart. Occasionally, when I take them out and see the sun, they will be wiped out like ghosts in an instant.
