The cold front passed, and the heat in the city was swept away.

Tang Tang's health was fine, but Tang Ruize insisted that he rest in the hospital for two days before being discharged.Lu Yuxing was too busy with his internship, so he had to ask his acquaintances in the inpatient department to take care of him.

It rained heavily for two days in a row, and Tang Tang obediently stayed in the hospital bed for two days.Every night when Lu Yuxing came to him with food, he saw him sitting on the hospital bed with a dazed face, staring out the window in a daze.

The scenery outside the window was blurred and nothing could be seen.

At first Lu Yuxing thought that the medicine had left him with some sequelae, but later he realized that Tang Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

When no one was around, he sat like a porcelain doll, didn't take a bite of the apple in his hand, and had no expression on his face, as if his thoughts were drifting far away.

Sometimes when he turned his head to see Lu Yuxing standing by the door, his eyes were full of confusion.He always had to stare at Lu Yuxing for a while before slowly showing a smile.

Gradually, Lu Yuxing vaguely realized that he had many things on his mind.

On the night of being discharged from the hospital, the heavy rain that had been falling in Hong Kong City for two consecutive days finally stopped.The dusty road was washed clean, leaving behind the clear smell of grass and trees.

Tang Ruize personally came to Ning'an Hospital to pick up Tang Tang, and drove him home directly.

In the night, the lights on the first floor of the small bungalow came on.

Xiaoxing didn't see Tang Tang for two days, so he came up first and circled around his legs several times. "Okay, I'm back, my dear." Tang Tang hugged it to his knees and glanced at Tang Ruize from the corner of his eye.

Tang Ruize put the replaced leather shoes into the shoe cabinet, his expression was not very good.

"Brother," Tang Tang said softly, "I want to call Ah Xing."

"He has something to do." Tang Ruize's expression became even uglier, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "He's dating a girl."

Tang Tang blinked blankly, "What girl?"

Xiao Xing rubbed against his bosom, and brought her nose to his face to smell.

Tang Ruize stood at the entrance and took off his coat. "How do I know." He impatiently unbuttoned his cuffs, "Don't go out if you have nothing to do these days, and the auditions are all rejected."

"But……"

"Don't talk back." Tang Ruize threw his coat on the sofa and went upstairs, "Don't go to see that Lu Yuxing, it's always bad to be with him."

The footsteps got farther and farther away, the lights in the study room on the second floor flickered on, and then went dark as Tang Ruize closed the door, and the kumquat tree at the door was shaken.

The huge house fell into silence.

Tang Tang stared at the kumquat tree for a while, exhaled slowly, and lay down on the sofa with Xiaoxing in his arms.

"Baby, do you think Brother Lu really likes me?"

He grabbed Xiaoxing's soft belly with both hands and lifted it into the air.Xiaoxing grinned and stuck out her tongue, her small black eyes were full of doubts.

"I like it, huh?"

Tang Tang shook its body and fiddled with it for a long time before putting it down, holding it in his arms and smoothing its fur. "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen... The way he looked at that time, did he like me?"

Xiaoxing's big head was resting on his chest, eyes narrowed comfortably, tail wagging.

Tang Tang's fingers combed its fur, but his eyes gradually became moist, and a tear fell down without warning.

"Xiaoxing..." He hugged Xiaoxing's head, his voice muffled. "Great, he really likes me." After a while, he laughed again without warning, "It's okay, all the bad things come to me, this time I won't let him suffer any harm."

"Wow." Xiao Xing groaned, arched his head, and fell asleep.

Twenty kilometers away, in a western restaurant.

On the booth by the window, Lu Yuxing sat across from him, looking at the girl opposite him from the corner of his eye while ordering food.

Xu Jingwen wore a plaid dress that is popular nowadays, her slightly curly bangs were neatly attached to her forehead, and the makeup on her face was exquisitely painted, making her otherwise ordinary and unremarkable features a little more three-dimensional.

To outsiders, they looked like any other couple who came to dinner.

Xu Jingwen was a little embarrassed, with her hands stuck rigidly on her knees, her eyes fixed on the water glass on the table.

"Don't be so nervous," Lu Yuxing casually leaned back on the sofa after ordering, "We can be regarded as friends who have worked together before." He paused, "Although Ah Lin usually looks a little frivolous, he is still very friendly. Honest and reliable."

"I know." Mentioning Ah Lin, Xu Jingwen became even more nervous, "Today... I have something to tell you."

Lu Yuxing raised his eyebrows, "Coincidentally, I also have something to ask you."

"……what?"

Xu Jingwen froze for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"You talk first." Lu Yuxing took a sip of water, "You are Ah Lin's girlfriend, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will try my best to help."

A car passed by outside the window, and the red headlights swept across Xu Jingwen's face, leaving a strange afterimage.

"I..." Xu Jingwen lowered her head, her lips painted with orange red lipstick were tightly pressed together, and it took her a while to utter a word with difficulty.

"I beg you to leave Tang Tang."

There was no surprise on Lu Yuxing's face, he just asked back: "What position do you have for me to leave him?"

"You'll destroy him." Xu Jingwen seemed to muster up a lot of courage, her fingers trembling while holding the glass, "You...you are all going to become public figures in the future, if the fans know..."

"So what?" Lu Yuxing said coldly, "Sister, if you like Tang Tang, go after him instead of coming to me and begging me to leave him while you're with my good brother."

"I……"

Xu Jingwen's face flushed red.

"Compared to this, I would like to ask you another matter." Lu Yuxing leaned lazily on the sofa, but stared sharply at Xu Jingwen.

"Did you take the shirt Tang Tang put in the locker?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jingwen's face turned pale with fright, her hands were trembling against the wall of the cup.

"What? I, I don't know what you're talking about." She raised her hand in a panic and pulled her broken hair behind her ears, "What shirt, I don't know..."

"You don't need to pretend, no one is in the fitting room during the performance." Lu Yuxing glanced at her lightly, "The storage of the lockers is under the management of your costume team, right? Except that the actors hold their own keys, Is the spare master key with you?" He paused, "Don't worry, I didn't tell Tang Tang, he still doesn't know what's going on."

Hearing the last sentence, the little girl covered her face and began to cry.

She cried for nearly 1 minute, from sobbing to uncontrollable crying.The waiter in the restaurant glanced this way with curiosity in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She covered her face with her hands in pain, and curled herself up, "I don't mean anything malicious, I just, I just like him too much..."

Lu Yuxing frowned, recalling some unbearable things.

——"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything... I just like you too much..."

There was nothing in the dimly lit room, but the surrounding walls were covered with countless photos from candid angles.Each photo is painted with a heart with an oil-based pen, circling the man in the camera.

"Don't say that to me."

He pressed the center of his eyebrows, recovering from the fear and discomfort that suddenly rushed into his heart. "Don't have this kind of thing next time, I don't want Tang Tang to know." He stretched out his hand and pushed the paper box in front of Xu Jingwen, "Otherwise I won't take care of people."

Xu Jingwen's shoulders shook violently, and more than half of the carefully painted makeup was lost, revealing her original appearance.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." She choked up and repeated over and over again, "I know I was wrong, don't tell him..."

"If you don't want him to know, don't try to think of him again." Lu Yuxing didn't soften his heart because of her crying, "Give me that shirt before tomorrow night, and we'll pretend nothing happened."

"I, I can give it to you now..."

Xu Jingwen's eyeliner was almost crying, she lowered her head timidly and desperately, she didn't even dare to look at Lu Yuxing more.She suppressed her sobs and took out her bag from behind tremblingly.

It was a twelve-inch blue mock-up bag, and the magnet clasp was a little tight, so Xu Jingwen pulled it several times before opening it.

She unzipped the zipper tremblingly and reached out to take out something from inside.

Lu Yuxing's eyes sank, and the hands holding his arms couldn't help but tense.

She took out an expensive pure white shirt from her bag. The girl was out of breath from crying, but she still held it like a treasure and handed it to Lu Yuxing.

"Here, for you."

Lu Yuxing stared at the shirt, thinking of Tang Tang who was wearing it that day.

That day, when they were talking in the control room, they got very close. Tang Tang probably ate some sweets secretly, so that he could still smell the mellow sweetness on his body.

At that time, Tang Tang secretly put the bookmark in his clothes pocket, foolishly using it as a peace of mind.

He stared fixedly at the shirt in front of him, then glanced at Xu Jingwen, and grabbed the shirt roughly.

Lu Yuxing left the restaurant early before all the dishes were served.

The cold wind at night invaded the limbs and lungs, and Lu Yuxing's muscles were tense.It took him three to ten minutes to walk home, he took the bookmark out of his shirt pocket, and threw the clothes into the front-loading washing machine behind his back.

The washing machine ran non-stop for two hours, so Lu Yuxing sat on the carpet in front of the washing machine, bent his body and waited for two hours.

He washed the dress three or four times, and finally the faint smell of women's perfume was washed away.
