Open hours

Seeing that the two brothers were about to move their hands again, there was a "snap" not far away, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and a thick stack of RMB was firmly slapped on He Anbei's ear.

He Dingxi's fist was stuck in the middle of the road abruptly, and the dirty words from He Anbei's mouth were blocked back into his throat.

"Dingxi, let go of your brother." Zhao Rongrong walked behind the brothers at some point, her face was as pale as a piece of paper, her brows and eyes were full of exhaustion, and she never saw the overly lively appearance before.

Zhao Rongrong looked down at He Anbei on the ground, with the paranoia in his eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.After a while, she finally said, "An Bei, take the money and leave immediately."

"It's good to be here earlier, I wasted all my efforts." He Anbei pushed He Dingxi away, and stood up unsteadily.He leaned over to pick up the money, walked up to Zhao Rongrong, tilted his head and nodded roughly.

Although this number does not satisfy him, it is better than nothing.He lit a cigarette in front of Zhao Rongrong, took a big puff, and said vaguely: "Let's do it for today, let's go."

He Dingxi stood there and looked at Zhao Rongrong without saying a word.

He remembered the most difficult years when Zhao Rongrong had a serious illness.He Jun is an intellectual with very limited income.Fortunately, He Dingxi was outside taking plays day and night, and besides filling in for his brother, he could still save some money.

He Dingxi gave the money to Zhao Rongrong for medical treatment, and in a blink of an eye, the life-saving money went into He Anbei's pocket.

The money is gone, but the disease still needs to be treated. The young He Dingxi can only continue to work day and night, acting in good and bad movies together, as long as the price is high enough.

He Anbei seemed to have guessed what He Dingxi was thinking, he took out a stack of bright red banknotes, shook them in front of He Dingxi's eyes, and said provocatively: "Dingxi, Mom gave it to me, you don't care. "

As he spoke, he frivolously blew a smoke ring towards He Dingxi, and walked out of the house slowly.

Ning Jue finally understood that He Anbei didn't only get the money today.He came back at this time and made such a fuss just to disgust He Dingxi.

After He Anbei left, no one spoke in the living room for a long time.Just when He Yirou was about to say something to brighten the atmosphere, He Dingxi suddenly said: "Mom, have you been giving him money behind my back all these years?"

Zhao Rongrong froze on the spot without speaking.He Jun took a step forward, as if he wanted to explain something: "Dingxi..."

"Okay, I see." He Dingxi waved his hand wearily, turned and went upstairs.

***

Ning Jue walked up the steps to the third floor.

The third floor is the attic of He Dingxi's house, which is now used by Zhao Rongrong as a storage room, filled with all kinds of useless things that are a pity to lose.

"You're here." Seeing Ning Jue push the door in, He Dingxi raised his head to greet him: "Do you want to play with this?"

He Dingxi dug out an old-fashioned game console from nowhere, sat on the ground and played vigorously by himself.Although this game console is very old, it can be seen that it is still very new, and it has not been played a few times.

Because He Anbei came to the house and made such a fuss, He Dingxi decided to return to S city tomorrow.He originally wanted to sort out some of the records he had collected in the past, but he didn't expect to take out this game console among a pile of odds and ends.

He Dingxi remembered that this machine was given to him by an aunt in the same group on his birthday.But he was busy running around in various crews when he was a child, and he didn't really play a few times.

Ning Jue raised her legs and walked over several stacks of old textbooks, came to sit down beside He Dingxi.He tilted his head to look at the screen and asked, "What are you playing?"

He Dingxi took out another handle from the sundries and stuffed it into Ning Jue's hand: "Come and try."

It was a racing game that was popular more than ten years ago, and it was all the rage back then.When Ning Jue was a child, besides going to school, his daily spare time was practicing driving, and he didn't have much chance to play with these things.

So the two people who had no childhood huddled together in this small space, happily playing old video games.

He Ding stared at the screen intently, and after a few rounds, he suddenly said: "It's really embarrassing for the Chinese New Year to let you watch these messy things."

"It's not a big deal, I'm still curious, why do you have such a jerk brother." Ning Jue made a deft operation, and the kart on the screen went through a continuous turn perfectly: "I heard that he almost sold it He Yirou?"

He Dingxi's car was almost a lap behind Ning Jue, but he still chased after him calmly.He Dingxi added a nitrogen bomb with no expression on his face, and the go-kart that was driving crookedly on the track jumped out.

He Dingxi said: "Actually, Director Huo fell in love with He Anbei at first."

The two brothers He Anbei and He Dingxi looked like a pair of dolls in New Year pictures when they were young, they were very lovable.

He Jun is a teacher in a university, and he has some connections. In addition, Zhao Rongrong had a dream of performing arts since he was a child, but he was born at an untimely time, so he can only pin his hopes on the two brothers.So He Anbei and He Dingxi started shooting various commercials before filming film and television dramas.

When Huo Qiangqiang was casting for the movie, his brother He Anbei was indeed the first one he fell in love with.

In fact, the warm atmosphere that Ning Jue felt in He Dingxi's house these days is only available in recent years. When Zhao Rongrong was young, she was a very strong mother. She was competitive and had a strong desire to control. It can be said that it is very different.Maybe it was a serious illness that made Zhao Rongrong see through a lot, or maybe it was He Dingxi's achievements that made her very satisfied. In short, Zhao Rongrong's character gradually calmed down in his later years.

On the day of the film audition, He Anbei accidentally developed a high fever, but Zhao Rongrong still took him to the set.At that time, there were more than ten other children in the same audition. Zhao Rongrong didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he also brought He Dingxi along.

Ning Jue knew the later story. I don't know if it was because of He Anbei's poor health, or because He Dingxi caught Huo Qiangqiang's eyes more. In short, it was He Dingxi who was finally selected by the director.

"He Anbei always thought that my mother took me to the audition because she favored me. Everything I have now belonged to him." He Dingxi said calmly while playing the game: "He thinks I took it away His life, he will be reduced to today's situation."

After the release of He Dingxi's first movie, his fame grew day by day, but He Anbei became less and less popular.When encountering an audition opportunity, Zhao Rongrong will also give priority to recommending He Dingxi, after all, he has starred in Huo Qiangqiang's movie, and his worth is no longer what it used to be.

After that, He Anbei spent several years in the advertising child model circle. As He Dingxi officially entered the showbiz, Zhao Rongrong had no time to take care of He Anbei, so he let him return to the campus.

He Anbei has been on the set since he was a child, and he hasn't studied hard for a few days, so his cultural foundation is naturally terrible.Coupled with the fact that he met some dubious friends at school, he became what he is now.

After listening to He Dingxi's words, Ning Jue asked, "Do you even think so? Do you think you owe him?"

He Dingxi was taken aback for a moment, and after a while he said: "I didn't..."

don't i?He Dingxi couldn't continue, he suddenly remembered the words that Huo Qiangqiang often said to him.He is like a person who has obtained ill-gotten wealth, facing the room full of gold and silver, but dare not squander it.

The young He Dingxi couldn't fill the black hole of He Anbei with that little salary.Coupled with Zhao Rongrong's serious illness, it was even worse for He Dingxi.

Perhaps Zhao Rongrong and He Jun also felt that they owed He Anbei, so they basically responded to his various unreasonable demands.

"At that time, I just wanted to make more money as quickly as possible, so I took a lot of... not so suitable films." He Dingxi laughed when he said that, and he still had the intention to tease himself: "One life Familiar with it the second time, and get used to it after acting."

Ning Jue didn't pay attention to He Dingxi's self-mockery, he thought for a while, and said frankly: "Frankly speaking, I really can't understand what your family has done."

As soon as Ning Jue finished speaking, the go-kart he was driving had already passed the finish line first, and a huge "WIN!" popped up on the screen.

Only then did Ning Jue look away from the small screen, and turned to look at He Dingxi.There was only a small light on in the attic, He Dingxi was facing the only light source, half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

"Your opportunity was not given by He Anbei, it was won by your hard work and talent. No matter how bad He Anbei is now, it is not your fault, and you don't need to be responsible for his life." Ning Jue looked at He Dingxi, and said seriously: "I can understand that parents want to compensate him and indulge him without a bottom line, but this is too unfair to you."

He Dingxi didn't expect to hear these words from Ning Jue's mouth, he raised his head, his whole face turned out of the shadow, and the light from the screen illuminated his eyes.

He became the pillar of the family too early, and no one asked him if he was tired all these years, and no one cared what price he had paid.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the person in front of him again.Ning Jue happened to be sitting cross-legged under the lamp, and the dim yellow lamp coated his whole body with a layer of fur, making him look extra soft.

"Compared to making chicken soup, I'm still better at solving troubles in an adult way." Ning Jue noticed He Dingxi's gaze, he took He Dingxi's handle and threw it aside, pressed his hand, leaned over and looked directly at Looking into He Dingxi's eyes, he asked, "He Dingxi, do you want to have sex/love?"

Ning Jue's endless words made him break free from his depression. He looked at Ning Jue with a dumbfounded smile: "My parents are downstairs, are you sure?"

"Sure." Ning Jue reached out and put He Dingxi down, got up and sat on his waist: "So I won't argue with you tonight."

He Dingxi reached out and patted off the only lamp in the attic. The young man in his twenties was young and energetic, and he came as soon as he said it, and it was about to be struck by thunder.

However, at this moment, the lights in the living room came on, and soon there was the sound of the two elders getting up at night from downstairs.

Ning Jue was taken aback when he heard the sound, and was about to back away, but He Dingxi quickly grabbed his waist, leading him to lean back, and fell on a pile of middle school textbooks behind him.

Ning Jue bumped his head against He Dingxi's chest, and as the sound downstairs became more and more clear, he couldn't help becoming a little nervous.

Ning Jue propped up his upper body, lowered his voice and said to the person below him: "He Dingxi, you are so daring."

"Hush——" He Dingxi raised his hand to caress Ning Jue's back, and pushed him down on his body involuntarily. The moment his chest touched, He Dingxi keenly noticed that the person in his arms was a little stiff: "I want to It's clear, if you are caught, you will really become a member of our family."

He Dingxi almost forgot that Ning Jue didn't like to have too intimate physical contact with him, even on the bed.But He Dingxi ignored Ning Jue's resistance this time, he hugged Ning Jue regardless, and patted his back gently with his palm.

Under He Dingxi's reassurance, Ning Jue quickly relaxed, and no one spoke for a while.The two hugged quietly in the attic full of debris until the lights downstairs went out and the living room returned to tranquility.

After such an interruption from the two elders, the two of them no longer have any "sexuality" for late-night sports.Seeing that the crisis was over, Ning Jue was about to turn over and sit up when He Dingxi pushed him back.

"Don't move." He Dingxi pressed Ning Jue, deliberately misinterpreting his intention: "Talk to me well."

Ning Jue was quite annoyed by He Dingxi's shameless behavior of complaining first, but he knew that He Dingxi was in a bad mood tonight, so he didn't bother to share his knowledge.

So he leaned back on He Dingxi's chest again, and asked calmly, "It's all right, what happened all of a sudden?"

He Dingxi did not answer, and after a while, he finally said: "I often ask myself, now that I have earned enough money and am tired of being an actor, why should I stay in this circle."

Ning Jue laughed, and asked back, "Are you tired of being an actor? You are a natural actor."

"Thank you for flattering me so much." He Dingxi was amused by Ning Jue's standard "rainbow fart" sentence: "It's not that I never thought about starting over, but..."

It's not that He Dingxi never thought about starting over, but he has been immersed in the big dye tank of the entertainment industry for too long, unknowingly became impetuous, lost enthusiasm, and had long forgotten how to embrace his original intention.

"I know how hard it is to start over." Ning Jue opened his eyes and looked at a point that didn't exist in the darkness, feeling a little tired suddenly.He moved his head and found a comfortable place in He Dingxi's arms: "If you have any regrets, you might as well give yourself another chance."

After hearing these words, a smile appeared on He Dingxi's face.He couldn't help tightening his arms, resting his chin on Ning Jue's head, and hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

As for what Ning Jue thinks about his "crossing the border" behavior tonight, He Dingxi is already flawlessly concerned at the moment.

He was surrounded by an inexplicable feeling at the moment.

For a moment, he couldn't tell if the impulse in his heart was the longing for the body in front of him, or some kind of distant and strange throbbing.
