Confession

Jiang Yang's new audio is a fatal temptation for Lin Xu. He has listened to hundreds of previous recordings countless times, no matter how much he likes them, they are no longer fresh.

"Chess Pieces" fulfilled Lin Xu's fantasy for many years, not to mention such an exciting episode at the beginning.

When he wrote the novel, he adhered to the "rule" that the first three chapters must be eye-catching, so he took the love and hatred of the protagonists as the starting point from the beginning, and the forced confinement led to past entanglements and future transactions and use.

Lin Xu never expected that this eye-catching technique would one day cause him, the author of the original work, to fall on it.

He listened to it over and over again with headphones on. Jiang Yang and Xing Xing matched perfectly, and the emotional connection was smooth. Just such an edge-of-the-box clip made him uncontrollable.

It's hard to imagine that if all the sex scenes are played out, if Jiang Yang gasps twice with a crisp voice...

Lin Xu's white and thin feet were curled up, his toes rubbed against the sheets, and his skin exposed to the air was slightly red.

After a while, he felt the mattress sag, he felt furry on his feet, and his calf was being licked by his tongue.

After eating enough bones, Lele came to find the owner and sniffed him.

Lin Xu shrank his legs, and finally sat up from the bed. His hair was wet and messy, and his expression was as cold as ever, but his eyes were full of water, and his neckline was messy, revealing a small piece of his chest that was redder than his face.

Lele wagged her tail at Lin Xu, lying at the end of the bed and looking at him.

The border collie's hair is very long and is about to shed, but Lin Xu allows it to go to bed, and sometimes he will sleep with the dog in his arms.

Right now Lin Xu didn't care about it, his breathing was unsteady, he ignored his physical reaction, got out of bed barefoot, sat at the table to look for the script that Xiaowen sent him.

Lin Xu took off his earphones, picked up the cold water in the cup and drank a few swigs, feeling that the heat in his body had eased a lot, took a deep breath, and prepared to concentrate on revising the script.

He promised the director that he would get the script out tonight, even if he couldn't write the whole thing, at least he would write the first half of the volume so that the radio drama could be recorded smoothly.

He was selfish, except for some changes in the main line, he did not delete any of the bed drama scenes in the novel, and even added a few more kissing and panting scenes.

In today's general environment, it is not allowed to write anything other than kissing in the novel, so the original work more often uses words to exaggerate the atmosphere, and then allows readers to imagine for themselves.

But radio dramas are not as strict as novels. Things like kissing and going to bed follow the emotional development of the protagonists, which is a natural thing.

Sometimes the main character will intentionally record sex/eroticism, express the flesh/desire with voice, and present the ambiguous clips more intuitively, which will attract the audience for a while, perfectly satisfying their imagination, and it is also a part of attracting traffic means.

Although Lin Xu has never heard of radio dramas, he knows the key points of them, so he blatantly added dramas, under the banner of satisfying readers, enriching the characters and plots, and satisfying his own selfishness.

It has been a long time since Lin Xu changed a script with great enthusiasm, and it was filled with his anticipation. When he thought of Jiang Yang recording the clips that he only dared to appear in his dreams, he felt itchy.

For the first time, he was able to stay awake without drinking a lot of coffee. This kind of excited and surging working state was something he hadn't seen for many years. He was fully focused and extremely efficient.

Before writing, Lin Xu had a habit of writing a very detailed outline, starting from the whole, detailing each chapter, and then writing the outline of each chapter. In order to avoid forgetting the main plot, he would simply describe a few sentences, or Write a few sentences of key dialogue.

He wrote the script of "Chess Pieces" very smoothly. He dug out the previous outline as an aid, modified and injected new content on the script sent by Xiaowen.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Lin Xu came back to his senses from work. He moved his stiff and sore neck. As he turned his neck, his bones creaked.

Lin Xu was busy for a few hours, and one-third of the script was written. He went to make a cup of coffee to refresh himself, checked it from the beginning, and sent it to the director and Xiaowen after there were no problems.

Unexpectedly, the director didn't sleep at this time, and the information came back soon.

[Chess Pieces Radio Drama Director: Hard work [like], I will take a good look. 】

[Xu: It should. 】

Lin Xu was busy writing the script before and didn't check WeChat. Several dialog boxes were lit with red dots, which were reminder messages from the editor.

He answered a few simple words one by one, and his eyes fell on the head portrait on top.

The dialog box named "Yang" is clean and deserted. There is no reply to the message I sent before, and the monkey's emoji is a bit funny.

Lin Xu read these two conversations that could be seen at a glance several times, turned off WeChat, rested on the back of the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and let his mind go blank.

He is quite tired now, he didn't feel it when he was writing the script just now, but now he calmed down, the tiredness began to counterattack, he had some headaches, but he couldn't fall asleep after drinking coffee.

The time displayed on the electronic clock was 3:40. Lin Xu pressed the center of his eyebrows, rubbed his face, brushed back the hair on his forehead, and let out a long sigh.Then he stood up and walked to the bed, and woke up the dog that was lying on the bed like a dead pig.

Lele was fast asleep, still snoring, opened her eyes and looked at her master blankly:?

Lin Xu put on some clothes and big shorts, "Go, go out and play."

Lele was half asleep and half awake, and didn't react until Lin Xu was dangling the dog leash in his hand, his round eyes shone brightly, and he jumped up and rushed to Lin Xu's side, wagging his big tail.

Lin Xu squatted down, set it up, and went out with a cigarette.

The community in the early morning is quiet and deserted, the wind is blowing a bit cool, the night is thick, and scattered stars are distributed in the night sky with the texture of flannel, setting off the moonlight.

Lin Xu had a cigarette in his mouth, and the white mist that he exhaled was blown away by the wind. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the refreshing air entered his lungs, and the feeling of fatigue was greatly reduced.

Lele lowered her head and sniffed the ground, walked and stopped, looking for a comfortable place, and began to squat down to defecate.

Lin Xu didn't like to go out, and he didn't like crowded places. Since his work and rest were reversed day and night, he often took Lele for a walk in the early morning after work.

Lin Xu enjoys this feeling of complete silence, as if he is the only one left in the world. The woody smell of tree trunks and the fragrance of soil can only waft out at this time. The air is contaminated by the smell of everything. He likes to dig this place alone. There is silence.

——He is ruling the world, not letting the world rule him.

Lin Xu was satisfied with nicotine, he couldn't help lighting another one, biting the filter between his teeth, with a cold demeanor, stooping to pick up shit with a blank expression.

Lele wagged her tail, she was refreshed after taking a shit, and her steps were brisk.

Lin Xu led him around the neighborhood, and walked through the criss-crossing alleys for a while, until he finally yawned before heading back home.

The thick black night began to fade gradually, from deep to light, and the stars hid in the clouds and disappeared.

Lin Xu was addicted to cigarettes, and he smoked three or four cigarettes unknowingly, especially when he was in a comfortable and empty state, he would unconsciously put the cigarettes in his mouth.

He was looking down at the faulty lighter when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear——

"Senior?"

Lin Xu froze, stopped the movement of his hands, looked for the source of the sound and raised his head.

Jiang Yang stood not far away, still dressed as before at the dinner table, with wrinkles on his close-fitting shirt, disheveled hair, a little tired expression, but still hard to hide his handsomeness.

He was also surprised to see Lin Xu, looked down at Lele and the dog leash in Lin Xu's hand, "You live here?"

Lin Xu nodded stiffly, his voice hoarse after smoking, "Why do you..."

"I live here too, what a coincidence." Jiang Yang laughed, walked towards Lin Xu, and touched Lele's head, "It seems that the author likes cats more, but I didn't expect you to raise Bian Mu."

"The cat is too quiet, the dog is better." Lin Xu's thoughts were confused, and after Jiang Yang said a few words, he came back to his senses and asked, "Where do you live?"

Jiang Yang pointed to the door of the unit, "It's here, does the senior also live here? I live in 1701, and I just moved here some time ago."

"I...is 1702." Lin Xu nodded, and tightened his grip on the dog's leash.

Not just neighbors, but door-to-door neighbors.

Lin Xu swallowed. The smell of cigarettes left in his mouth made him want to smoke again. He unconsciously picked the dog's leash with his fingers, and silently put the cigarettes in his fingers into his pocket.

"It's a coincidence that I didn't expect it." Jiang Yang entered the password of the unit building, opened the door and let Lin Xu go in first, "It's been more than a month since I moved, and I haven't come across it."

Lin Xu didn't leave the gate, walked the dog until early in the morning, so of course he couldn't see him.

If Jiang Yang hadn't come back at this hour, Lin Xu would not have known that he had been neighbors with Jiang Yang for a month.

The elevator was very big, Lin Xu led the dog and sat up to the [-]th floor with Jiang Yang, the red number slowly increased, Lin Xu saw Jiang Yang pressing the center of his eyebrows tiredly through the translucent elevator door, and at the same time smelled the mixed smell on his body. Various perfumes and wines.

"You...have you been drinking?" Lin Xu asked.

"Of course not," Jiang Yang leaned lazily, ""Chess Pieces" is being recorded, how dare I drink?"

Lin Xu stroked Lele's head, but did not continue to ask.

He has no position and no qualifications.

Jiang Yang continued: "My friend had a birthday, went to sing, they had a good time, and went to have a barbecue in the middle. In the end, they were drunk and vomited. I was the only one who didn't drink and sent them home one by one. I was exhausted. gone."

Lin Xu heard the last three words complaining like a child, and turned to look at Jiang Yang.

It can be seen that he is really tired, and he has to close his eyes to rest for dozens of seconds when he goes upstairs. His facial features are three-dimensional, his eye sockets are deep, his jaw line is perfect and smooth, and his side face is more stunning than his front face.

Jiang Yang was tall and straight, and his tone was filled with displeasure at the moment. The contrast was quite cute.

Lin Xu: "What time does your studio go to work?"

"Ten o'clock," Jiang Yang yawned and said sleepily, "so I can go back to sleep for a few hours."

With a sound of "ding", the elevator door opened, Lin Xu led Lele out first, and Jiang Yang followed behind.

Lin Xu's door was a fingerprint lock, and when he put his finger on it, the sound of inserting a key sounded behind him.

"Then you go to bed early." Lin Xu opened the door, didn't rush in, squatted on the ground to wipe Lele's feet, "you can send me the location of the studio later, and I will go there in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll send you later." Jiang Yang took off his shoes, turned around and closed the door when he saw Lin Xu's face, stopped for a moment, and then shouted, "Senior."

Lin Xu turned his head to meet Jiang Yang's gaze.

Jiang Yang said: "You look pretty when you smile, why don't you smile more like you did five years ago?"

"..."

"We are neighbors now, we need to help each other and live in harmony in the future?" Jiang Yang hooked his lips, "See you in the afternoon."

The door was closed, and the aisle was silent, only the sound of Lele panting with her tongue out.

Lin Xu wiped his feet clean and closed the door.

After Lele got home, he ran to the water bowl to drink water. Lin Xu leaned against the door and didn't move. There was a mirror on the shoe cabinet in the entrance. The intention was to take care of his appearance before leaving home to prevent disheveled appearance.

At this moment, Lin Xu's smiling face was reflected in the mirror, his cold face softened, and the alienation and indifference in his eyes were replaced by warmth.

Lin Xu didn't realize when he smiled until he saw himself in the mirror and understood Jiang Yang's words.

Jiang Yang saw his smile, and thought of Lin Xu who was full of spirits in college.

"Buzzing—" the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Lin Xu took it out to see that it was a message from Jiang Yang.

【Yang: [Positioning]】

【Yang: I fell asleep [Moon]】

The smile on the corner of Lin Xu's mouth widened, and he replied a hello.

He scrolled up and read the news after adding friends again.

When he raised his head again, a slight smile spread from the corner of his mouth to the tip of his brow.

—— After many years, Lin Xu finally showed a bright smile full of anticipation again.
