suddenly tired

On the way home from the cemetery, Zhong Lei saw the caller popping up on his mobile phone, and laughed before answering the call.

"What's the matter? Every time I answer your call, I have the feeling that my mother has finished the parent-teacher meeting and went home to ask the teacher."

Sun Tiantian was rarely vague: "Well...Brother Lei, have you stopped driving recently? Have you started singing again?"

"No! It's driving well."

"Don't worry about me, there is a kid in the company who is surfing video sites, I saw you, are you singing in a bar?"

"Ah?" Zhong Lei was confused, "You said last Christmas? Wasn't it the job you introduced?"

"No, they sang 'stand by', the video was posted a few days ago."

"Oh, you said this, in my friend's store, I sang and played with them."

"But the video has been reposted a lot, and the popularity is very high, and someone has already found out that it is you."

"If you find out, you'll find out. I'm not a fugitive. I even confiscated money for singing at a friend's house. Can you still arrest me?"

"That's not what I mean. I'm just reminding you to pay attention, lest so many people who don't know the truth make irresponsible remarks. I'm afraid...it will affect you, uh, you."

"It's okay Tiantian, I know, it's not like I haven't experienced it before, don't worry about me anymore, she's really like my mother at a young age."

"Cut! I don't know what's good or bad!" Sun Tiantian said angrily, "I don't want to bother you, don't come to me to settle things if things get serious later!"

"That won't work. If something goes wrong, Sister Sun must save me."

"Stop it!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Sumian asked, "Brother Lei, do you mind being mentioned again in this way?"

Zhong Lei lost the laughter just now, and there was no expression on his face. He couldn't see what kind of mood he was in. He just said: "Shame and fame and fortune are the same thing to me. They are both burdens, but I'm used to it and don't mind. What about you?" ? Do you mind?"

"I?"

"Well, you are my lover. If someone scolds me, will you be unhappy when you see it?"

"Of course! Last time... I didn't dare to go online for a long time and didn't dare to open Weibo. Once I accidentally saw it, I would feel uncomfortable for a long time. Really, it was more uncomfortable than others scolding myself. I couldn't refute it. I explained , but it was quickly overwhelmed, so I had no choice but to ignore it.”

Zhong Lei took his mobile phone and turned off the screen.

"Then don't look at it, it's okay to scold me, it's a big sin to make you unhappy." Zhong Lei thought for a while, "Hey, let's go to the hot spring tomorrow, okay? Once the phone is turned off, the whole world will be clean, only the two of us indivual."

Having said that, Ji Sumian couldn't resist looking at his phone. He found the video that had been forwarded tens of thousands of times and clicked on the comment section.

"It's great that an amateur uncle can sing so well, my brother, don't always be on variety shows, you can't do it if you don't work hard!"

"This so-called amateur uncle is not an amateur. Ke Wen, the lead singer of Yantu, retired a few years ago."

"No one remembers rock and soil now. Many good bands are quiet now, but rock and soil are self-defeating, not the environment."

"Why did you have the face to make a sneaky comeback? You'll die if you cheat on the marriage!!"

Sure enough, not happy.What is the picture, the hostile online world is completely opposite to the reality he lives in, he silently closed it.

"What's the matter? Doesn't taste good?" Zhong Lei saw that he was not enjoying himself while eating.

"No, it's delicious."

"you're uncomfortable?"

"No."

He smiled, reached out and pinched the back of Ji Sumian's neck: "What did you say?"

"Huh? Who said that?"

"Online."

"Oh... I just took a sneak peek, is it so obvious?"

"Well, it's rare to see you so unhappy. What did they say?"

Ji Sumian didn't know where to start. He rolled his eyes and held Zhong Lei's face: "They actually said you are an uncle! How can you be an uncle? How can there be such a young and handsome uncle!"

"Hahahahaha!" Zhong Lei was overjoyed, "Is it because of this that you are unhappy? Or are you scolding too badly, you dare not say it?"

"I……"

"I said don't look at it, it's not fun if you have to find it yourself."

"Brother Lei, is there any means of operation that can adjust the direction of public opinion? Look at the previous gossip news, there are so many reversals, rumors and so on, many of them are said to be operated by capital."

"What nonsense do you read on the Internet every day? I'm just an ordinary citizen. A taxi driver who goes to work on time and gets off work every month and pays five social insurances and one housing fund every month. What kind of capital will work on me?"

"Then... other than hiding, is there no other way?"

"Ugh……"

In addition to being good at singing, Zhong Lei also has another talent in kissing him unconsciously. Since he can't be coaxed well with words, he can only see him with actions. He doesn't care whether Ji Sumian has finished eating or not, so he just picks him up and kisses him.

He once made fun of Ji Sumian's body like air-dried beef, all lean meat is hard to chew, but delicious, so this time, he gently rubbed his earlobe with his teeth, called "Mian Mian" in his ear, and spared no effort Fill his worried time and make up his sad heart.

Ji Sumian hid in his pajamas, this hut was like a bunker against the world, even when he was happy physically and mentally, there was a sense of sacredness, he would feel ashamed to be lucky about such happiness.Three meals a day, everyday meals, their lives are extremely ordinary, with such a sense of satisfaction, who would care about those rumors on the Internet that are far apart.

However, there were some legendary changes in this matter when they decided to stay away completely.

The cause was an accusation by Xu Chen’s ex-wife in the middle of the night, counting the experiences of these years in detail. The ex-husband cheated on him repeatedly because the child was young and forgave him. The food that the child is allergic to has almost caused a catastrophe, and the reason for their divorce is that his daughter suddenly had intestinal obstruction in the middle of the night, but Xu Chen and his same-sex lover had a private meeting and ignored it.

As soon as this article was posted, whoever cared who sang and where, they all ran to denounce the scumbag. Ji Sumian also picked up his phone and downloaded Weibo again, with the mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

It is very subtle that the entertainment company immediately announced the unconditional termination of the contract with Xu Chen. It is equivalent to directly acknowledging the above facts, which is also unprecedented.When other artists had negative news, the company either clarified or apologized, and even Zhong Lei did not take the initiative to terminate the contract when the scandal broke out a few years ago.So, the supernatural melon eaters traced back to that incident, connected them together, and analyzed another possibility.

Like ordinary unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, all kinds of marketing accounts uncovered the events of the year one by one, and listed the timeline. Xu Chen was married in secret back then, and it was not announced until the birth of his daughter. Reversing the time, it happened to be the news that the rock and soil band When someone is gay.Ke Wen was sent to the hospital two or three months later, and what he admitted from the beginning to the end was only his orientation, and other rumors did not mention it, so the marriage cheater who eventually led to the disbandment of the band was actually Xu Chen .

Zhong Lei felt that he was living in a very strange predicament. If he was not peacefully lonely, he would have to endure the irritating noise. He was not interested in this heated discussion about himself, but was disturbed by it.He told Ji Sumian that he was used to a normal life, and it was difficult to have any nostalgia for the fame and fortune he pursued when he was young. He didn't know where so much attention came from. It's been too long. Isn't there any other news in the entertainment industry?

Ji Sumian told him the story of two gods, Zhong Lei was puzzled: "So the public opinion needs me to stab him to death?"

"Oh no, in fact, when everyone discusses this matter, it's like working together to solve an unsolved case. This is just a fulcrum, and the purpose is to let everyone have a fair chance. Xu Chen can't justify this matter, you say It doesn't count."

"Okay, then wait for it to cool down slowly, or if there is any new news, it can be buried."

"Brother Lei, tell me about this, did Sister Tiantian participate in the operation?"

Zhong Lei thought about it seriously for a while: "It's possible." Then he lowered his head and smiled, "She has been holding on to it all the time, and she didn't dare to say anything about me at the time. Later, she mentioned it many times and felt that this was the biggest grievance she has suffered since she started her career. Forget it, can I It would be nice to make her feel better."

Early summer in the coastal city is the most beautiful season. The weather has not yet fully heated up, and the rainstorm and typhoon have not yet arrived. Everything is sunny and just right.Ji Sumian came running from work that day, and before getting in the car, she leaned on the driver's side window and shouted at Zhong Lei: "Brother Lei, Brother Lei, we're going to the team building, go on a spring outing!"

Zhong Lei was puzzled: "As for you, why do you look like a primary school student?"

"Can you accompany me, everyone can bring a family member, I have reported your name."

"Oh... well. Where?"

"When I go out to sea on a cruise, I will stop in Kagoshima and Jeju."

"Oh, how many days are you going?"

"Six days."

"Is your company... not working? Stop working for six days and go out to play."

"In batches, our president's office is the first batch, but not many people like to go out with the boss, so there are more people in the latter two batches."

In the process of packing the luggage, Ji Sumian still maintained a happy mood. He insisted not to let Zhong Lei do it, but only gave him the travel guide and packed the box by himself.

"Hey Lei brother, people say that traveling is a big test for the relationship between couples, do you think we will encounter problems?"

"No, I listen to you."

"Oh no, just in case, I mean, if in case we quarrel, is there any ceasefire agreement, and the war will cease if you say one word?"

"What else is there to say, just press you on the bed and fix it."

Ji Sumian blushed: "Cut, I don't care about you! On the next page, the clothes and swimming trunks are all packed, what else?"

Zhong Lei continued to scroll down: "There is also... there is a western restaurant that says that formal attire is required to attend, do you want to go?"

"Formal attire, oh yes, there is a welcome reception on the first night, and I'm going to host it."

"Hey, host? My wife still has the time to show off like this!"

"Nonsense, there's no need to be in the limelight, it's just hosting..." Ji Sumian suddenly thought of something, so he didn't clean up, and sat down next to him, "Brother Lei, are you... willing to participate in this kind of event? If you don't want to go Don't force yourself because of me."

Just as Zhong Lei wanted to speak, he was blocked again.

"Don't say it's okay. I know you don't want to be in crowded places."

Rubbing his hair, Zhong Lei said: "I was thinking, what is your identity when you take me with you?"

"They didn't ask, but if someone did, I'd say you're my boyfriend."

"Is it okay? Does it affect you?"

"I don't think so, I don't care—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Lei's phone vibrated. It was Sun Tiantian. He patted Ji Sumian's hand, "Wait for me a moment."

Zhong Lei paced at home while listening to the phone, like a lion in a zoo that has been imprisoned for a long time, with a faint anxiety in his steps.Most of the time it was the other party who was talking, and he occasionally agreed twice, looking very good-tempered, but his brows became tighter and tighter, and finally ended the conversation with a sentence of "OK".

"what happened?"

"They asked me to respond and get that over with."

"Oh, how do you respond?"

"Let me express that I am no longer in this circle, I won't come back and there is no need to continue the discussion. Hey, do you have Weibo on your phone? I'm too lazy to download it."

"Yes." Ji Sumian handed over the phone, saw that he had logged into his account, thought for a moment and started typing.

"Brother Lei, you haven't used Weibo for a long time, why didn't you log out?"

Zhong Lei was still typing without raising his head, and said casually, "Because of you, you always send me private messages, how can you send them after you log out?"

"Come on! You don't even know it's me!"

He smiled, looked into Ji Sumian's eyes, and this time he was serious: "Because there are some people like you, I don't want to completely cut off contact, I always want to leave some space for them. Those who scold me are following the trend Forget it for a while, no one will persist in scolding you for three to five years, but those who really like you will persist, I will not reply, but at least let them know that I can see it."

"Well, when the accident happened, I was afraid that I would never be able to contact you again."

"Yes, after all 'it's too hard to find me in the vast sea of ​​people'!"

"Laugh at me again!" Ji Sumian put his arms around his waist, as if he wanted to throw him on the bed, but his strength was too weak, and he could only slightly shake the big tree.

"Hey, don't, don't make trouble, just write Weibo..."

After a while, Zhong Lei's Weibo, which had been silent for more than four years, finally posted an update, with only a few lines:

"Soil is the evidence of youth, it ends at the best age,

Each of us has our own trajectory in life, and that's fine,

There is no grievance or unfairness, just life.

On my birthday last year, someone sent me a blessing. He said:

I hope I can meet kind people, have a stable and peaceful life and a happy family, have food, drink and love,

That's who I am now, thank you, and thank you. "
