Be careful

That night, Mu Chi invited his old classmate Sophia to dinner, and she chose the Italian restaurant with its unique decoration.

Mu Chi understands Sophia's nostalgia best.No matter where she goes, it is her pleasure to choose a so-called authentic Italian restaurant, order its signature dishes, and comment on it.

Seeing Populus poplar in that restaurant, frankly speaking, Mu Chi was a little bit unexpected.It's been a month since this kid signed to Xinghe. I heard that he is diligently participating in the talent training for newcomers every day. I didn't expect to meet him in this kind of place.

However, what surprised him even more was that Zhong Xinyang was sitting opposite Pu Li.

In the past three years, Mu Chi has heard the name Zhong Xinyang and his gloomy temperament countless times on different occasions.

From the "interesting" boy mentioned by his friends, to the second male lead who added color to the whole film in "Silent Love", to being officially signed into Xinghe...Mu Chi is very sure of Zhong Xinyang's professionalism.

He even believed that this boy, as long as he knows how to measure and put all his nervous temperament into the performance, sooner or later he will win the best actor trophy for the company.

But regarding Zhong Xinyang in private, Mu Chi had a headache.This is why I have known Zhong Xinyang for more than three years, and I have also collaborated on a film, but I only signed him recently.

He was afraid that Zhong Xinyang would cause him great trouble sooner or later.

After the meal, Mu Chi asked the driver to take Sofia back to the hotel in the city to rest, and waited alone on the side of the street.

He just waited like that, with his suit on his arms and the top button of his shirt open, showing some anxiety and anticipation. People who don't know will definitely think that he is waiting for his sweetheart like that.

He silently smoked several cigarettes, looked at the radiant exotic street, and endured the hot and stagnant air.

Ever since Qin Shan left, Mu Chi vowed never to wait so foolishly for someone again, but that day, the longer he stayed for a second, the more immersed he was in his own arrangement.

Although he admits that he has no good intentions for Poplar, but he hopes that everything is under control, so that it is fun enough.

Sure enough, after leaving that street, Zhong Xinyang broke up with the listless Pu Li, took a taxi and left alone.

Mu Chi made a chance encounter and suddenly appeared in front of Pu Li.

Seeing him, Pope was shocked and speechless.

Mu Chi likes to see him biting his lower lip.In his memory, Qin Shan never had such an expression as if he was actively showing weakness.

"Mr. Mu?" Pu Li forced a smile.

Mu Chi stared at Poplar fixedly, the youthful version of Qin Shan, much younger than when they knew each other.

Mu Chi used to always imagine that if he could be a few years older, or if Qin Shan could be younger.They are about the same age and have experienced the same years, so there will be more topics, not just the distant love that only exists in his heart.

Mu Chi's Adam's apple moved up and down, he changed the suit on his arm to the other arm, facing this familiar but unfamiliar face, he suddenly fell into memory again.

"Daxi Mountain".

Mu Chi still remembered that the film told a story about a young teacher who jumped in line.

In my memory, my father put in too much effort for this film.For countless days and nights, he traveled around in search of an actor who could play the male lead of the film among the vast crowds.

However, more than half a year has passed from winter vacation to summer vacation, but the leading actor is still not selected.

Mu Chi still remembers that day when his mother knocked on his door in the middle of the night, asking him to answer the phone mysteriously.My father is like this. If there is bad news, one person will bear it silently. If there is good news, the whole family must be together to share it.

Mu Chi put on his pajamas and went to the living room. The phone was turned on and the phone was released. His father was obviously drunk.With a dull tongue, he couldn't hide his excitement, and said to his relatives who supported him at home: "I found it, I finally found it, and Alai's candidate is him!"

Mu Chi was happy for his father, sitting on the sidelines and watching his mother lying on the phone and asking her lover.

"Where did you find it?" Mother asked.

"Southern Troupe, a very good young man, with temperament and strong plasticity..."

"Congratulations." His mother was happy for his father. Mu Chi had never seen such a pair of lovers who always supported each other and loved each other.

"When I come back, I will hold a big party to celebrate finding Alai!"

Mu Chi went back to the bedroom to sleep silently, the phone was picked up by his mother, and they began to tell each other how much they miss each other in their soft native dialect.

Then, not long after, my father came back from the South, brought back the actor, and really set about throwing a big party.

At that time, Xinghe did not have the majestic building it is now, but the banquet hall was still very grand.

Mu Chi still remembers, that day, when he came home from school, his mother asked him to wear a well-tailored suit, while she herself wore a peacock green dress with long tails that dragged the floor.

His mother held his arm, and the mother and son appeared together in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Mu Chi was confident enough when he was young, he avoided the enthusiastic gaze of the guests, and searched with his eyes at the banquet.

What he was thinking at the time was, I want to see what the actor that my father has been looking for for half a year looks like.

It's him!

The man who will play Alai is next to his father, holding champagne in one hand, and naturally gesticulating with the other to talk to the people around him.Mu Chi followed his figure, and learned from the people beside him that this man was called Qin Shan.

The year they first met, Mu Chi was 17 years old and Qin Shan was 28 years old, both of them were the best ages.

The appearance of the man playing A Lai gradually overlapped with the face of the boy opposite him, Mu Chi was shocked, and suddenly felt that the father and son were both alike and yet not alike.

"Hello." Pope's smile was still awkward and forced.

Mu Chi also smiled, that kind of smile that has become a habit, there is no need for sincerity.

"I'll wait for you here." Mu Chi said.

There was a slight change in the expression of Populus oak.He avoided this man who appeared suddenly.

"I saw you in the restaurant just now, I thought you would come to say hello." Mu Chi said.

"Seeing you and..."

Mu Chi didn't wait for Pu Li to finish, and asked directly, "Are you playing with Zhong Xinyang?"

"Oh." With a stiff expression, Pu Li casually pointed in a direction, speaking incoherently, "Goodbye, Mr. Mu, I'm going back."

"Wait," Mu Chi said behind Pu Li, "You don't want to ask me why I'm waiting for you here?"

Pu Li seemed to hear what Mu Chi said suddenly, and smiled far-fetchedly: "Why?"

"Don't play with Xiao Zhong again, okay?"

……

The neon lights outside the glass window were flickering, and Pu Li looked at the navigation on the phone that was getting closer to the destination, and suddenly understood.

It turned out that the seemingly gentle "okay" was a "warning" in Mu Chi's view.

It turned out that what he thought Mr. Mu was after all only what he thought.And what the real Mu Zong is like, he has no ability to guess at all.

He just wanted the taxi to go faster, and faster.Even though he knew that the scene he was about to see would be out of control, he still wanted to suppress his inexplicable liking and dislike for Mr. Mu.

Zhong Xinyang's residence is in the old town.On one-way streets, it will take a long time for drivers to go around, and they are not sure whether there will be traffic jams.

Not wanting to wait any longer, the poplar paid the money and walked through the sprite-like dark bushes, the croaking of insects and frogs disturbing him.Running to Zhong Xinyang's residence, his heart was pounding.

The door of Zhong Xinyang's house was wide open, and a curious person in pajamas was looking at the door frame.

Populus entered the room, turned around and closed the door, and followed the pale pink water on the ground from one room to another.

Mu Chi heard Pu Li's voice and called him: "Here."

Someone knocked on the door behind him: "Hey, do you want to call an ambulance or call the police?"

Mu Chi came out of a bedroom, brushed past the Poplar tree and walked straight to the door.Populus rushed into Zhong Xinyang's bedroom.

The smell of blood came to the face.

The sheets, which were originally light blue, were now stained red by large swaths of blood, as if poignant and beautiful dahlias were blooming.

"Xin Yang!" Populus half-knelt beside the bed, "Xin Yang?!"

Zhong Xinyang hid under the quilt, only revealing a bandaged white wrist.

Populus saw the quilt rising and falling, and then heard Zhong Xinyang's near-never weeping.

"Xinyang..." Pu Li patted Zhong Xinyang's body lightly, as if putting a baby to sleep, "I came to see you, we still have a lot of things to do, take a rest when you are tired, I will accompany you. "

The door outside rang once, and it was Mu Chi who came back.His leather shoes stepped on the wooden floor, thumping and thumping, which disturbed the poplar.He instinctively attributed everything Zhong Xinyang encountered to Mu Chi.

At the same time, reason also told him that now is not the time to talk about these things.

"I gave them money and asked them to stay in a hotel." Mu Chi didn't seem to have any regrets, he approached the bed and sat on a chair, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to live in this house in the future. Tell him something?"

Zhong Xinyang withdrew the exposed hand, and kept shaking his head frantically under the quilt.

"Okay," Mu Chi nodded and stood up, "Just let each other go, I will give you a sum of money, and I will help you rent the house again. However, from the perspective of my Xinghe boss, the movie "Jianyue" You still don’t want to take the show, I’ll find a chance to talk to Andrew after tomorrow.”

Pu Li looked up at Mu Chi, with mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't believe that this man saw his lover being hurt, but he only thought about the company's interests.

"Do you want to stay in a hotel or a hospital now?" Mu Chi asked again with a tired expression.

Pu Li slowly closed his eyes towards Mu Chi, then turned to lie on the bedside and asked Zhong Xinyang: "Xinyang, do you want to go to the hospital, I will accompany you?"

Zhong Xinyang finally couldn't hold back anymore, and began to cry loudly.

Poplar got up, opened Zhong Xinyang's wardrobe, packed a few pieces of clothes, and then slowly lifted Zhong Xinyang's quilt.

On the bedside table is the CD he gave to sister Xin Yang, the package has been removed, it seems that he has already heard it.Thinking of Zhong Xinyang always mentioning this younger sister, and thinking of the forced withdrawal that Xinyang encountered on the phone not long ago, Pu Li felt like a knife was twisted in his heart.

It turned out that at some point, that younger sister was an accomplice who killed her brother.He really felt sorry for the boy curled up in the quilt.

"Come on, come back with me." Pu Li said to Zhong Xinyang.

"Where are you going?" Mu Chi asked.

Pu Li raised his head and sighed, turned around and said to Mu Chi: "Mr. Mu, thank you for coming in time today. I am Xin Yang's friend, and I will be with him in the future."

Mu Chi chuckled, and glanced at Zhong Xinyang with extremely helpless eyes: "You can't afford to accompany him."

Zhong Xinyang turned over, picked up a pillow and threw it at Mu Chi, shouting: "Where's him! Where's your best friend?! Why didn't he come? Where is he? He really plans to marry that girl?"
