In the silent place

After get off work, Jiang Ping drove to Xitiaokou Steamed Bun Shop to buy takeaway, and arrived at Bai Yutang's home as scheduled.Going up to the twelfth floor, I rang the doorbell outside for a long time before waiting for the other party to open the door.

Bai Yutang was wearing pajamas, leaning lazily by the door frame, looking sleepy.

"If you don't come to open the door, I will leave."

"Have you bought food yet?"

"You are really a pig, you know how to eat as soon as you wake up!" Jiang Ping mentioned the takeaway and waved in front of Bai Yutang's eyes. "Here, crab rice dumplings, your favorite."

Smelling the aroma of steamed stuffed buns, Bai Yutang regained consciousness after a nap. "Put it on the plate for me, and I'll brush my teeth."

'Do you really want to use the Filipino maid? ! Jiang Ping cast a glance at him, and walked into the kitchen half angry and half helpless.

After washing up, Bai Yutang came out of the bathroom and sat down on the dining chair outside the kitchen.Jiang Ping pushed the plate with steamed buns towards him and said, "The crab shell yolks are sold out, so I bought two porridge with preserved egg and lean meat."

Bai Yutang had been sleeping since getting off the plane and back home, and now he was so hungry that he squeezed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth. "Come here by car?"

"Well, after eating, go downstairs and drive around to see how it works."

"Brother bought it with you?"

"No, the second child came with me."

The two had dinner and came to the underground parking lot.Sitting in the driver's seat, Bai Yutang looked at the equipment in the car, nodded in appreciation and said, "That's good. It's also equipped with Feige navigation?"

When Jiang Ping heard him praise his car, he felt very beautiful.The fifth brother's greatest hobby is tinkering with cars. If he says it's good, he can't be wrong. "Seeing that the one in your car is pretty good, I pretended it for fun. Do you want to go out for a drive?

"Let's go." Bai Yutang also became interested, took the key thrown by Jiang Ping with a smile, started the engine, drove the car out of the community, and drove towards the suburbs.

It was just getting dark, and the dim street lamps were turned on one by one. After passing the nearby military compound, the roads were less trafficked and looked even more clean.Jiang Ping looked out the car window at the constantly receding street scene, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Zhan Zhao's book bar has opened, why don't you go and have a look?"

After not hearing a reply for a long time, Jiang Ping turned his head to look at Bai Yutang.The other party stared straight ahead, his face was gloomy, his brows were slightly frowned, and the happy expression just now had long since disappeared. "What's the matter with you two?" He couldn't help asking.

"It's not that you don't mention him after I told you, what if I didn't hear it?"

"Why are you yelling at me? If you are not convinced, go to Zhan Zhao." As soon as the words fell, a piercing gaze shot towards him fiercely.Jiang Ping glanced back at the other party, and said unconvinced: "What's the use of being fierce with me? I asked kindly, and you still throw face at me?"

For three months, Bai Yutang felt that he was trying to forget some things and people every day.But there are some people who don't have long eyes!Angrily, he parked the car on the side of the road, slammed the door and got out of the car.Seeing that he lost his temper indiscriminately, Jiang Ping was also a little angry. With a mutter, he got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, opened the door on the driver's side and got in.

Bai Yutang stood beside Dao Ya, took out a cigarette and lit it, turned his back to Jiang Ping and said nothing.

There are so many women around me who confess their love frankly, why did they identify with Zhan Zhao as if possessed by a demon?Seeing him so depressed, Jiang Ping felt uncomfortable, and sighed: "Come on. If you don't like to hear it, I won't mention it in the future."

Speaking of which, I still introduced that person to my fourth brother, and then begged him to take care of him desperately.No matter how dizzy he was, he shouldn't vent his anger on fourth brother.Bai Yutang secretly felt ashamed, stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned around and trotted for two steps, and returned to the car silently.Jiang Ping cast a glance at him helplessly, started the car, turned around and started to drive back.

"I'm done with him, this time I don't even have to be friends."

Bai Yutang who was sitting on the side spoke suddenly, his voice was dull and depressing, and Jiang Ping's heart trembled when he heard it.In the past, he wished that the other party could draw a clear line with Zhan Zhao, after all, this relationship is unusual, but now he is not happy at all.

"What's the matter? Wasn't it good a while ago?" He asked following Bai Yutang's words.After four years of silence, the fifth younger brother endured it all, but this time he broke up just as soon as he said goodbye?He couldn't think of a reason.

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that I told you before that Liu Xian was very fond of him?"

"Well, remember."

"After Tian Pin's accident, the crew wanted to invite him to play the second male lead." Bai Yutang paused, then turned his head and said, "You know me. I understand that he rejected Liu Xian before, but This time the nature was completely different, I thought he would help me, but it turned out to be the complete opposite."

Hearing this, Jiang Ping felt as if he had knocked over the seasoning bottle, with mixed feelings.He was always quick-spoken, but now he felt his tongue was tied up, and he didn't even know how to say a word of comfort. "Maybe he has his reasons?" He asked cautiously.

"Is there any reason why he can't tell me?! Am I such an unreasonable person?! If you had seen his attitude at that time, you wouldn't have said that!" Bai Yutang said with a heavy breath and sighed : "In fact, he did that four years ago, I should have understood."

'If only I understood! Jiang Ping sighed secretly, only feeling that the contradictions in his heart were increasing day by day, and it was getting more and more embarrassing.He always felt that he was out of kindness, but why did he feel more and more unable to hold his head up when facing these two people?It's your choice, right?

After returning to the residence, Jiang Ping accompanied Bai Yutang to watch the DVD for a while, then took a hot shower, said good night, and went to the guest room to lie down.Bai Yutang slept for most of the day, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time, sitting alone in the living room and continuing to watch the DVD.In fact, he really wanted to ask his fourth brother about the situation of Zhan Zhaoshu Bar, but he kept holding back and didn't say a word.

Jiang Ping lay on the bed with his eyes closed, trying to sleep but couldn't. The book "Worth It" was once popular on the Internet and almost became a household name.After learning that the fifth brother was going to make this drama, he even watched it online.If the crew invites Zhan Zhao to play the male lead Jian Shu, let alone others, I can't even think of the scene where Jian Zheng cried bitterly while hugging the body of his younger brother Jian Shu, let alone Liu Rong and so on. The family members around Zhan Zhao are gone.Thinking more deeply, if the fifth younger brother knows all this in the future and thinks of all the things today, how should he deal with himself?Just asking Zhan Zhao to play this role is probably enough to make him feel heartbroken and regretful.If Zhan Zhao really plays Jian Shu, then this shadow, this injury will lurking in his heart, and it will be difficult to get rid of it for a lifetime.His mind was in a mess, thinking of his fifth younger brother getting drunk late at night, and thinking of the pain that flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes.I feel like I'm about to get sick.

After get off work the next day, Jiang Ping came to the book bar.Seeing that there were many more customers sitting by the window than the previous two days, I was secretly happy, the corners of my lips raised, and I walked towards Li Shangjuan at the cold drink stand with a smile.

The other party was getting a drink, and when he saw him coming, he stopped his hands and waved. "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Zhan's cousin's girlfriend, Gao Yue." Li Shangjuan introduced them generously. "Gao Yue, this is Jiang Ping, the fourth brother that Xiao Zhan mentioned is him." In fact, it was the first time she saw Gao Yue today, the two were about the same age, and they chatted together within a few words, very speculative.

"Hello fourth brother." Gao Yue smiled and called fourth brother.

"Hello." Jiang Ping nodded politely.He had met Jiang Dong a few times before, but they were not very familiar with each other.At this time, thinking of the joint relationship between his fifth younger brother and Zhan Zhao and Jiang Dong, he felt his head get bigger again.

Li Shangjuan put the prepared two cups of drinks on the tray, and Gao Yue on the side took them first. "Let me do it."

"Okay. Just the table at the door." Gao Yue glanced in the direction her eyes indicated, and walked over with a drink.

Jiang Ping put the briefcase on the side of the drink table, leaned on the table with one arm and moved towards Li Shangjuan. "Where's Zhan Zhao?"

Li Shangjuan raised her hand and pointed upwards. "We're resting upstairs with Jiang Dong." He paused, then turned his head and asked Jiang Ping, "Does Xiao Zhan have a bad heart?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ping asked anxiously, trembling in his heart.

"I do not know either."

"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Li Shangjuan glared at Jiang Ping, recalling the scene just now, and felt nervous for a while. "This afternoon, I saw him standing next to the bookshelf for a long time without moving. I felt something was wrong, so I went over to have a look. Who knew that before I touched him, he wobbled and fell to the side. Fortunately, the side A young man helped him up." Li Shangjuan frowned slightly as she spoke. "At that time, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and Aunt Liu was not around. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. If Jiang Dong and the others didn't come, I would really be caught blind."

Jiang Ping's heart pounded when he heard it, and he glanced at the back of the partition from time to time, wanting to go up and have a look, but hesitated.

"Aunt Liu told me that he was not in good health, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

"Don't worry about it? People have said that you are not in good health." Jiang Ping said impatiently.

"I just feel uncomfortable, why? Can't you be a little sympathetic? Cold-blooded!" Li Shangjuan gave Jiang Ping a hard look and turned her head away.

Gao Yue came back with a tray, seeing that something was wrong, she turned around and went to the bookshelf to get a book, and sat in the chair next to the computer book review desk to read it slowly.Jiang Ping sighed, elbowed Li Shangjuan next to Dui lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to tell you something, and I want to ask for your opinion."

"What's the matter?" Li Shangjuan was still angry, and glanced at Jiang Ping with a cold face.

"It's between our friends." Seeing a flash of interest in Li Shangjuan's eyes, Jiang Ping smiled and said slowly: "When I was in college, I met a buddy named Xin Shao, and we played together all day long. Crazy. Then one day when Xin Shao was drunk, he told me that he liked someone, and that person was his best friend in high school, named Kang Xiu. But Kang Xiu didn’t seem to take him seriously at all. Because in Not long after he confessed to the other party, Kang Xiu left the country, and he didn't tell him before he left, and there was no news for four years."

"Aren't these two best friends? Even if Kang Xiu doesn't like Young Master Xin, can he continue to be friends? Why did he leave without saying a word? Isn't this too deceitful?" Li Shangjuan asked with doubts in his eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Ping touched his forehead and hesitated, "Both of them are men, so..."

Li Shangjuan stared at Jiang Ping for a while, then suddenly woke up, and said with wide eyes: "Two men?"

"Hush, keep your voice down." Jiang Ping hurriedly looked around, but luckily he didn't disturb the customers.Turning his head around, he gestured and pointed at the other party. "Don't be so surprised, can you? Listen to me!"

"Oh." Li Shangjuan became curious, and asked, holding her chin: "What happened after that? Kang Xiu is back?"

"Well. After Kang Xiu came back, he accidentally met Young Master Xin. Young Master Xin never forgot him, and he was willing to just be friends with him. Later, Young Master Xin introduced Kang Xiu to me and asked me to take care of him. .”

"Young Master Xin is really infatuated. Does Kang Xiu treat him like this without resentment at all?"

"It's impossible not to complain, but I definitely like more. Otherwise, how could I be so grievous."

"Well, yes. If it were me, it would be difficult to do this."

"The relationship between men is deeper, you don't understand."

"The feelings between women are relatively delicate, do you understand?" Li Shangjuan said loudly.

Jiang Ping felt very helpless. He and Li Shangjuan were like enemies. Every time they talked, they always quarreled. The strange thing was that he not only didn't feel bored, but also enjoyed it. "Have you heard yet?"

"Listen, let's go on."

"Later, I gradually got in touch with Kang Xiu. I learned from his family that he was seriously ill. He stepped into the gate of hell several times and almost died. Later, he had no choice but to go abroad. In the past few years, he has been in Overseas medical treatment, but with little effect."

Li Shangjuan suddenly felt sad, and said in a muffled voice, "Kang Xiu also likes Young Master Xin, right?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure about that either."

"Otherwise, why didn't he tell Young Master Xin? If he really couldn't accept Young Master Xin so much, why would he agree to be friends with Young Master Xin after he came back?" Li Shangjuan said with a sigh. "If this is the case, then Kang Xiu is pitiful enough."

Jiang Ping sighed, and said noncommittally: "Now they are arguing. As far as I know, Kang Xiu should have his reasons this time, but he didn't tell Young Master Xin. He never wanted Young Master Xin and me to know about him. I haven't dared to tell him that I already know about the illness." Jiang Ping paused, then turned to Li Shangjuan and asked, "If you were me, would you tell Young Master Xin about it?"

"Yes." Li Shangjuan nodded seriously and affirmatively.

"You don't even want to think about it? Kang Xiu can't even guarantee whether he will be alive tomorrow. If I tell Young Master Xin, won't that hurt him? Besides, they are both men!"

"What's the matter with all men?" Li Shangjuan stared deeply at Jiang Ping, and said, "Are you discriminating against homosexuals? Xin Shao is your friend! You are so close to him, so you should know him well. He has been with him for four years. He has not forgotten Kang Xiu, which shows how deep his feelings for Kang Xiu are. Even if you can hide it from him for a lifetime, can you guarantee that he will meet someone like Kang Xiu who makes him give wholeheartedly? Besides, Kang Xiu, if He said that he left cruelly to prevent Young Master Xin from knowing that he was sick, so his feelings for Young Master Xin were no less than Young Master Xin had for him. He would rather give up Young Master Xin than drag him down. Isn't people worth cherishing?" She said, paused slightly, and said with emotion: "Who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow? People live for a lifetime, and they should be together when they are alive. If I were their friend, I will definitely tell Young Master Xin, otherwise I will feel uneasy and I will not be able to face them."

Jiang Ping couldn't lift his head when Li Shangjuan said it.Why do people think so differently?A question that was so difficult for him, but so easy for the other party?However, Li Shangjuan said something that touched him deeply, and he already found it difficult to face those two people.
