The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Photographer Wei felt a little headache holding the camera. This European supermodel didn't know what to do, she seemed to be on a stimulant, scratching her head and posing in front of the background wall, and all the shapes collapsed.Photographer Wei looked down at the finished picture in the camera, and a black line dropped on his forehead. This is simply a weirdo in disguise!

During the filming, while taking a break for a change of clothes, Ozhe Lun took the opportunity to drink a drink from his agent and asked Wei Liang: "Have you found any female models for such cosmetics? Are you coming to sign a contract today?"

"Ah, it should be..." Wei Liang's heart was broken when he saw the horrific Honkai face on the computer.

O'Zhelun leaned over and opened his mouth full of the smell of honey citron tea: "I heard it's Abi?"

"Ah?" Wei Liang raised his head and adjusted his glasses, then looked back at the computer, "It wasn't Abi, I was looking for Abi, but brother Qin Xiu called, Abi is getting married, I heard that she won't see her again Be a model."

The smell of honey citron tea suddenly disappeared, and the joyful expression on Ozhelun's face also disappeared: "...What did you say?"

Archer was worrying about how to tell O'Gerlen that Abi was getting married. Fortunately, when he arrived at the studio, O'Geren had already left. It seemed that he was not feeling well, and he didn't even finish the filming.When Archer came, he saw Wei Liang and his assistant cleaning up the background cloth. There were bloodstains on it. Archer was startled when he heard that Odgeron had a nosebleed during the filming: "Is he okay?"

"His manager took him to the hospital for an examination, and he was fine. He said that he might be a little angry." Wei Liang shrugged.

Archer was still worried, and asked a few words on the sidelines, only to find out that O'Zhelun had already heard the news that Abi was going to get married.That guy O'Zhelun has a hard-headed mind, he didn't know if the boy could bear such a sudden change, so he lay on the sofa at night thinking for a long time and sent a WeChat message: I want to open it.

After a while, the phone rang, he thought it was Ozhelun calling him to complain, turned over and grabbed the phone, but saw that it was a call from Kemeron.

Kai Molong called and said that Helan Ba ​​had received a letter, and sent him some souvenirs by the way, and asked him to go to the research institute to get them.It's been a long time since I heard from Teacher He Lan. Archer went to Xin'an University with joy the next morning, not knowing what delicious food the teacher brought him.

It was a little early, and Kai Dashou had guests in his office, so he had to wait on the sofa at the secretary's desk first, and he didn't hear the door open until it was almost noon.

A young man in a white shirt and black trousers came out of the office. Archer saw the female secretary smiling hospitablely at him. His attitude was far from the way he greeted him.The man also nodded and smiled back at the female secretary. When he passed by the sofa, Archer couldn't help but glanced up at her.

Sure enough, he was a handsome man, and his appearance was a bit more feminine than Qin Xiu's. Hey, wait...why do you think you've seen this guy before?

Archer stared at the man's back and blinked twice, then fixed his eyes suddenly. An unbelievable thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "...Abi?"

The other party didn't seem to have any reaction, and walked straight towards the elevator. Archer heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it might really just feel like it. What was he thinking...

He was about to get up to look for Kai Molong, but he stopped unexpectedly when he saw the man's back.Archer intuited that the rhythm of the stop was very subtle, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and sure enough, he saw the man's back lingering for a while, and turned towards him.

As a result, he was not in Cameron's office at the moment, but was sitting side by side with a man who didn't know whether to call him a stranger on the bench by the lake behind the institute.

"How did you recognize me?" Abi, or should be called Zhang Qi now, looking at the lake covered with cherry blossoms, said, "To be honest, basically no one recognizes me before and after makeup."

The first time he heard Abi's voice was on such an occasion, Archer was a little uncomfortable: "I see your walking posture is similar." This is of course not true, but he didn't recognize it entirely by identifying his five senses. But it is true that the facial features are a bit familiar. Looking at it now, Zhang Qi’s appearance is indeed very different from Abi after makeup, but it may be because he has been immersed in a photography studio for a long time, and his eyesight is stronger than ordinary people. A lot, and again, in fact, he felt more strange because he smelled a familiar smell. Of course, he didn't always remember the smell of Abi, but he felt that the smell was very familiar.

Zhang Qi didn't ask too much, just nodded: "Now you understand everything."

He understood why Abi had always only had a make-up and stylist for the queen, why he seldom took orders, and why he pretended not to speak, but he still didn't understand the whole thing.Doesn't this appearance count as cheating? What's up with that idiot Ozeron?

Zhang Qi saw that the curly-haired young man was still confused and dazed, and said slowly: "This is the last time I come to see Professor Kai, no matter what, from now on I will be completely cured of the femininity."

"Because you're getting married?" Archer asked.

"Well," Zhang Qi nodded, "I also think it's quite sudden, but this is a commercial marriage, and there is nothing I can control. Of course, it will be impossible to do this again after marriage." After a pause, "There may be many People think transvestism is perverted, but for me it's just my way of dealing with stress."

Archer's mind was full of what should O'zhelan do, and he didn't know how to respond to him at all, so he just asked mechanically: "Is it useful?"

"It's very useful." Zhang Qi looked at the lake, "In the eyes of outsiders, I should be born into a famous family. Since my grandfather's generation, the children in the family have received strict elite education, and the competition among their peers is very fierce. , especially boys. My mother doesn’t like this kind of upbringing. Before she gave birth to me, she wanted me to be a girl. I still wore women’s clothing for a while when I was a child. Suffering from depression," he said, looking up at the top floor of the research institute across the lake, "finally she jumped off the roof of the hospital."

Archer was a little worried when he heard it, and at the same time understood why Zhang Qi desperately wanted to relieve himself from the pressure.

"Believe it or not, I actually don't like to wear women's clothes. When I was young, I really liked to compete with my brothers. I was very strong in everything. But when I grew up, I felt more and more breathless in such a life. Thinking of my mother's experience, I just I was afraid that I would become like her.” Zhang Qi slightly arched his back and recalled, “One day I sat in my mother’s room and looked at her closet full of women’s clothing, and I didn’t know why. By accident, I put on her clothes. At that time, a courier came to deliver the package. I completely forgot that I was still wearing women's clothes and answered the door, but the other party didn't see my disguise at all, and called me Miss. He smiled hospitablely and asked me to sign for it." At this point, he smiled shortly, "It's a bit like Professor Kai's secretary's expression when he looks at me now."

Archer agrees with this point, Zhang Qi has an advantage over Qin Xiu in running women's clothing, his Adam's apple is almost invisible.

"When I was called Miss, I felt like I became another person completely. I didn't have any special interest in wearing women's clothing and makeup. All these methods were just trying to completely transform myself into another person. That day For me, it’s like opening the door to another world.” Zhang Qi said, “I will set aside one day every week to dress up as a woman, walk on the street all day, slowly blend in with the crowd, and later also in I met my current agent on the street and asked me if I would like to sign a contract as a model. I had no intention at all at the time, but I thought it was very novel and interesting, so I followed to the office. It turned out that I was picked by a client who came to choose a model that day. Endorsing their products, speaking of which, the client is still my competitor..."

Archer opened his mouth wide in astonishment: "Did you agree then?"

"Of course I refused," Zhang Qi turned to look at him, "but my manager has been pestering me all day, this is a great opportunity for him, and then I was forced to tell him I only wore women's clothes for fun, but..." Zhang Qi shook his head amusedly, "That guy actually said that as long as I cooperate, he will be responsible for covering me up and guaranteeing that I will never be discovered. Then I agreed .For me at that time, walking down the street in women's clothing was not enough for me, but if I became a model, it was completely living another person's life."

"You haven't been discovered?" Archer couldn't believe it.

"I am very cautious in accepting every advertisement. My agent is even more cautious than me. It is almost impossible to accept spring and autumn clothing when shooting fashion blockbusters, unless it is a very familiar photographer." Zhang Qi said, "In fact, there are two long-term cooperation photographers. They know my identity, but I can trust them. If I take photos that are more troublesome, I will only go to them, and they will help me with post-processing."

Archer suddenly realized: "Qin Xiu knows?"

"Well, he was the first to find out." Zhang Qi said, "It was also my own accident. When Qin Xiu's studio was opened, I signed the advertising contract on behalf of the company. Later, by chance, I became a model again. I cooperated with him, but there was a gap of almost a year, and I never thought that he would recognize me, just relying on this spot." He looked down at the little finger of his right hand.

Archer moved closer to see a circle of pink spots on the inner side of Zhang Qi's right little finger. It seems that the blood in the wound has not subsided after being bitten by something, but it doesn't look hideous at all. The very faint moles are clustered together, and they are almost invisible if you look closely.

"Qin Xiu promised to keep it secret for me. From then on, I will remember to cover this spot when I take pictures." Zhang Qi said.

"Why are you telling me these things?" Archer's heart grew heavy when he heard this, "You can completely ignore me."

"Just as if I want to say goodbye to 'Abi' formally." Zhang Qi stood up and looked back at the young man on the bench who was frowning. "That's it. Thank Qin Xiu for me. I never had the nerve to tell him."

Archer looked at Zhang Qi's leaving back, and suddenly got up and shouted: "Zhang Qi!"

The man turned his head.

"I have a friend who has always liked you very much." Archer looked at the other party and said seriously, "I like you when I was Abi." O'Zhelun's name was hidden by him, which is very important to O'Zhelun. For Zhang Qi, and for Abi, it is an embarrassing and sad fact. Since it is destined to end, then don't let them both add more troubles.As long as this person knows that there is someone in this world who once loved Abi sincerely, that is enough.

Zhang Qi froze for a moment, nodded slowly, turned and left.

O'Zhelun sat on the sofa blankly, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, the lights in the living room were not turned on, and the room was pitch black.Today is New Year's Eve, and the neon lights outside his high-end apartment are brightly lit, and people gather in the square. He lives on the eighteenth floor, and he can't resist the enthusiastic carnival downstairs that seems to overturn the sky.

There was some sound mixed with the crowd, O'Zhelun looked at the flashing mobile phone on the sofa, this was the first time Abi's number called him.

"Why didn't you call me today?" There was still the clean and crisp male voice on the other end of the phone, "Don't you just keep making harassing calls to me before ten o'clock?"

O'Zhelun was silent for a while, and after the other party said "Hey, are you okay", he said in a deep voice, "Is it true? You and Abi are getting married?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then a low "hmm": "You already know."

O'Zhelun held the phone, his voice was hoarse: "Can I see her once?"

"……sorry."

"Then can you let her answer the phone?"

The other end of the phone took a deep breath: "She can't speak."

"Let her pick it up once?"

"……sorry."

No matter how much you begged in a low voice, it was useless, just like an ant facing the vast ocean, Ozhelun bit his lip tightly and hung up the phone.The phone was thrown in the corner of the sofa, and he sat with his legs curled up in another corner of the sofa, facing it in the dark, but after waiting for a long time, the phone never rang again.

The last call was still made by him:

"You'll be nice to her, won't you?"

"Yes." I don't know if it's out of sympathy or comfort, but the voice on the other end of the phone is rare and gentle today, "I will love her like I love myself and treat her well."

After hearing this solemn promise, O'Zhelun silently hung up the phone, deleted Abi's number, and pressed the power off button.

"Lun Lun, it's so lively outside, let's go..."

The manager opened the door with hot dry noodles and Malatang and came in, only to see the living room was pitch-black. He turned on the light at the entrance wonderingly, but there was no one in the room.

A uniform countdown sound came from outside the balcony, the fat manager pushed his eyes, did this kid run down by himself?That guy is a road idiot!

Standing in the crowded Imperial Square, Ozhe Lun looked up at the huge four-floor light box advertisement of Wangfujing Building amidst the deafening countdown.

The countdown of ten thousand people entered the final ten-second countdown: "Eight—seven—six—"

"I like you!" he exclaimed.

"Five—four—three—" Everyone around him was counting down, and he was the only one who shouted completely different words.

"I like you!!"

"Two—one—"

"I like you--"

Colorful fireworks soared into the sky.Tears flowed down, and as soon as the nasal cavity became hot, bright red blood also flowed down.
