very close to the clouds

Shen Yanbai met Xue Zhen, an old acquaintance in the group, who was also a flying guest.Probably because the other party knew Jiang Zhongyu and was able to chat with him for a few words, so Shen Yanbai's relationship with him went further, which made Xue Zhen a little flattered.

Shen Yanbai didn't understand why he did this, so he asked a lot.

"Although I knew you before," Xue Zhen said, "but it always feels like there is a layer of separation, and I have never been so familiar. I don't know what happened this time, but you suddenly became grounded."

Shen Yanbai was speechless for a moment.

"You used to hold it up very well," Xue Zhen said honestly, "It seems that you look down on our circle, but to be honest, since you are in this circle, don't look down on it."

"It's not that I look down on this circle," Shen Yanbai explained in a rare way, "It's because some people look down on people in this circle."

"Aren't you one of them too?"

"That's why I also look down on myself." Shen Yanbai said.

"Ha, then who do you think highly of?" Xue Zhen rolled his eyes, remembered a person, and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang? He is indeed informal and very generous. He must have many friends."

"Well, it's okay." Shen Yanbai himself didn't know why, when he talked about Jiang Zhongyu, there was always an inexplicable pride in his heart, probably because this person had too many good labels posted by others, but He put the most important label on the other party - boyfriend.

This label is only for him to put on.

"How about I treat you to dinner tonight?" Xue Zhen took a sip of milk tea and said, "It just so happens that I have a painting that I would like to ask him for help."

Shen Yanbai said lightly: "I know you have something to ask for."

"Didn't he draw quite a lot recently? There is no difference between drawing other people's paintings and mine." Xue Zhen said cheerfully, "I just want to join the team."

Speaking of this, Shen Yanbai was taken aback for a moment: "He took a lot of paintings?"

He still remembered that when he first told Jiang Zhongyu about this matter, Jiang Zhongyu was not very interested, why did he suddenly change his temper and start taking so many paintings?Shen Yanbai has been busy recording variety shows these days, but he seldom visits Jiang Zhongyu's Weibo. After being reminded by Xue Zhen, he turned on his phone and took a look, and found that Jiang Zhongyu had gained a lot of followers. Well, I have posted a dozen Weibo posts, but these ten Weibo posts have no text, and they are all pictures taken by him.

There are hundreds of comments, all praising him for his outstanding painting skills.

Shen Yanbai inevitably found it strange, so he took a screenshot and sent it to Jiang Zhongyu, asking him, "Are you short of money recently?"

Jiang Zhongyu: Why do you ask that?

Shen Yanbai: Why are you picking up so many paintings all of a sudden?If you are short of money, you can tell me, and I can move some out here.

Jiang Zhongyu: No, it’s boring anyway, painting is a hobby, and it can also make money, killing two birds with one stone.

Having said that, Shen Yanbai still feels that the frequency of Jiang Zhongyu's hobby is a bit too high. Before that, he didn't necessarily draw a picture in a month. Now that it's a business, Shen Yanbai is inexplicably distressed.

In the evening, Shen Yanbai sent Jiang Zhongyu his location, but the other party came late.

When he opened the door and walked in, he also wore a black mask on his face, and the windbreaker brought a cool breeze. Seeing that it was almost the end of the new year, Shanghai was so cold that people shivered.

"A few little girls followed me," Jiang Zhongyu sat next to Shen Yanbai, and said, "I think I'm some kind of star."

Xue Zhen laughed straight: "You do look like a star, and here we are filming variety shows again recently, so it's not surprising that they think so."

Jiang Zhongyu smiled.

Shen Yanbai wrapped his hand into his own, it was cold, and he frowned and asked him: "You wear so little?"

"It will get hot after sitting." Jiang Zhongyu put his hands on the back of his chair, slightly raised his head to look directly at Xue Zhen, and asked him, "Do you want to jump in line?"

"Isn't that right, Mr. Jiang," Xue Zhen said with a smile, "My little girlfriend is going to celebrate her birthday, so I don't know what to give, she is an elegant person, and she would like to paint, so I put the idea on your head. "

Jiang Zhongyu didn't take Joe either, just nodded and said, "Sure, but I have to wait until the painting I have in hand is finished."

Xue Zhen raised his wine glass to respect him, Jiang Zhongyu replaced the wine with tea, and drank the bowl of tea in his hand.

The meal was peaceful, Xue Zhen left first after eating, Jiang Zhongyu wanted to call Li Yi to pick them up, but Shen Yanbai suddenly went crazy and said, "Let's take a walk back."

"Walking?" Jiang Zhongyu was stunned for a moment, "It's very cold outside, and maybe there are paparazzi squatting, how can I go for a walk?"

"It's so late, the paparazzi can't be so dedicated."

Shen Yanbai said that he wanted to realize his wish of walking around at midnight, so Jiang Zhongyu had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

But he still pulled down Shen Yanbai's sweater hat, trying to block Shen Yanbai's attractive face as much as possible.

The wind outside was blowing, and the branches of the tree were also blown left and right, and it looked like it was going to rain.There were a lot of fluttering moths flying under the street lamps at the corner of the street, flying round and round towards the light source. There was really no one on the road. This is a suburb, and there were no shadows of cars, so it was very quiet.

When walking through the alley, Jiang Zhongyu suddenly felt a cold finger in his palm, he smiled softly, and held Shen Yanbai's hand.

Shen Yanbai clasped his fingers tightly with his backhand.

At the end of the alley is the hotel where the two of them stayed, and Shen Yanbai very much hoped that this road would never end.

It's a pity that someone came to disturb their cleanliness, and after walking a few steps, Jiang Zhongyu heard footsteps, turned his head slightly and looked back, just in time for a flash of light, he subconsciously let go of Shen Yanbai's hand : "Someone is shooting us."

Shen Yanbai turned his head and took a look. In the deep alley, someone hurriedly walked away, and his figure was hidden in the boundless black night. The moon in the distance was half covered by clouds, and he coldly splashed the moonlight all over the ground in silver. , I don’t know when the falling rain suddenly turned into snow all over the city, and the white fell on the tip of Jiang Zhongyu’s nose, making him frown slightly in the cold.

"It's snowing in Shanghai." As Shen Yanbai said, he stretched out his hand and used his fingertips to catch the snow on the tip of Jiang Zhongyu's nose, and his hands were covered with cold.

He didn't care about the paparazzi who had been following him for a long time, but stretched out his hand and clasped his fingers tightly. The light cast by the hotel led the long and distant path, leading them from the darkness Walking forward, walking through the decades of loneliness in the wind and snow, heading towards the bright side.

Jiang Zhongyu was stunned for a moment - his rationality told him that he should let go of Shen Yanbai's hand immediately, and the other party should not have any other troubles at this moment.

But his impulsiveness made him reluctant to let go of the seldom-seen light in the long dark night.

Shen Yanbai is his lonely beam of light that finally appeared after hiding for a long time.
