Love shuffle
Chapter 46 Half-time·02
At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Qining arrived at his bar on time.
There were so many people on Saturday that most of the parking spaces near the road were taken up, so Lu An had to walk half the street to find the entrance of the underground parking lot.Fang Qining explained to him that he planned to go upstairs to chat with Xiao Xu first, and let Lu An just wait for him in the box.
Lu An responded, and Fang Qining strode towards the entrance of the bar.He turned straight to the right, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Ever since Qi Manrong's incident happened, Fang Qining's power of observation has improved several times compared to before, the more subtle and trivial things, the more clearly he has to observe them.
There are not many people at this point, and even Adam is still tinkering with ice cubes with his back to the bar, looking extremely sleepy.In the corner, two girls came together to audition for resident singing. They prepared a song that was not very familiar.
There were a few tables of guests sitting sporadically in the empty bar. Fang Qining stopped, and from his distorted angle, he could just see Xie Qiao's helpless face.
Sitting opposite was a tall boy with broad shoulders. The reason why he said it was a boy was because Fang Qining caught a glimpse of half a childish side face, and the black sweater he was wearing was the most popular brand among students nowadays.
Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, obviously seeing him too.
At such a juncture, Fang Qining did not hesitate to change the route halfway, walked along the bottle of brandy that Adam had just brought out from the bar, walked around a row of tables and chairs, and stopped in front of Xie Qiao's table.
Now I can see clearly that he is indeed a young boy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of vigor, the kind who can go to the court with a basketball in his hand and respond to everyone.
"It's so early," Fang Qining put the bottle on the table, and put his other hand on Xie Qiao's shoulder rudely, "You...friend?"
Hearing the sound, the boy turned his head and said before Xie Qiao: "Yes, they are friends."
Xie Qiao didn't give him any face, moved closer to Fang Qining, smacked his lips, "A student, a kid from my father's friend's house."
After finishing speaking, he turned the wine glass and began to order to evict the guest, "I don't have time to break up with you today, so go back quickly."
After figuring out the situation, Fang Qining calmed down a little, and sat aside to act as the magic needle for calming the sea.After seeing the boy get up and leave unwillingly, he said the second sentence he had come in so far, "The scope of the vomit has spread to all age groups, congratulations."
Xie Qiao didn't take his ridicule seriously, poured himself a glass of wine with a smile, and replied, "It's just a child."
Fang Qining flicked the wine bottle, and the crisp sound of the glass echoed between the two of them.
Just as he was about to speak, Xie Qiao raised the corners of his lips, "Someone is here."
Fang Xining raised his head following the sound, and a figure appeared around the corner, wrapped in a white fluffy coat, the lower half of his face was huddled in a thick scarf, only a pair of slightly drooping eyes were exposed.
Zhong Yao caught a glimpse of Fang Qining for the first time, sitting with a handsome man he didn't know, hesitating whether to walk over, Fang Qining waved to him.
He carefully pulled down the scarf, opened the seat lightly, and said hello to Fang Qining, "Mr. Fang."
Xie Qiao snorted, looked at Zhong Yao's face, and said slowly, "You look so familiar."
Fang Qining was afraid that he would say "you look a lot like a friend I know", so he decisively kicked him lightly under the table.
Xie Qiao's face remained unchanged, as if he was trying to remember, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "I see, have you ever acted in a TV series?"
"..." A snowflake popped out of Fang Qining's mind, similar to the pattern when an old-fashioned TV failed, and he kicked him on the leg of his trousers with more force.
Zhong Yao was still smiling, and answered him in an unhurried manner, "I've played two or three small supporting roles, but it's not a big role."
"Oh... that's right," Xie Qiao looked at him with his face propped up, and asked expectantly, "Last year or the year before last, in that fairy tale drama, the junior brother in it was the one who loves snacks, right? You played it?"
Zhong Yao, who had been prepared to make a mistake, really didn't expect it this time, his eyes raised slightly, and he replied in surprise and joy: "Yes, it's me."
Fang Qining also looked at him in surprise, Xie Qiao snapped his fingers with a complacent expression, "I just said I won't admit my mistake."
With such a beginning, the next three people get along harmoniously.Unexpectedly, when Xie Qiao introduced himself, he didn't mention his real name, just let Zhong Yao call him A Qiao.
Fang Qining didn't avoid Xie Qiao when he spoke, and told Zhong Yao very briefly in advance why he came here today.
"Although Boss Meng won't be here today, Lu An will let him talk, so you don't have to worry." Fang Qining added, implicitly explaining to him the outcome of the phone call at noon.
Zhong Yao is a smart person, his expression was obviously dazed for a moment, followed by a relieved smile.
"I see, Brother Ning."
While speaking, Lu An came directly from the elevator in the parking lot, followed by Xiao Xu.
The clean and flat shirt was covered with a thick plush vest. Xiao Xu's eyes were obviously black and blue, and he knew at a glance that he must not have slept well last night.
"Let's go, there will be more people later." Fang Qining stood up and said to several people, "Go and sit in the box."
Xie Qiao sat on the spot for a few more seconds, leaning on the back of the chair and lazily discussing with him: "I won't go? See, you have something else to talk to them about."
Fang Qining glanced at Xiao Xu, leaned down and said to him: "There seems to be something wrong with Xiao Xu, it's nothing serious, come with me and help me watch him more."
Xie Qiao pulled his hanging palm, stood up and restrained his expression, "Okay."
Lu An winked at him, and Fang Qining made an OK gesture.Lu An smiled, indicating that he knew, and took a step forward, walking in the forefront.
So Fang Qining walked at the end with peace of mind, he stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Xu's shoulder lightly, the stupefied person immediately trembled uncontrollably for a moment.Xiao Xu was like a rabbit whose tail had been pulled, he turned around in a slow and terrified manner, the moment he saw Fang Xining, his face relaxed a little.
Fang Qining walked slowly with his arm close to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, didn't you sleep well last night?"
The third secret that had been hidden for two and a half years was easily exposed. Xiao Xu stayed up all night and dialed Pei Ze's cell phone number when the morning came.
"You, can you guarantee that my interview will be seen again?"
In fact, there were no shady words or phrases in that interview. On the contrary, everything from the interviewer's questions to the interviewee's state was extremely ordinary.It's nothing more than some commonplace content, such as whether you prefer to return to your family or your original acting job, and whether you plan to return to the film industry.
In Qi Manrong's eyes, these are all common questions, and the answers have gone through hundreds of cycles in his stomach, and they have been polished and watertight when they come out of his mouth.
Qi Manrong's state is also very ordinary, with simple light makeup, and the whole villa is well-heated. She is wearing a soft waistcoat and only a long cotton skirt.
Countless small "ordinary" things constitute the special features of this interview.
The hallucinations caused by drug overdose are so serious that you can climb to the top of the building and jump down. The fermentation time in the middle needs at least two hours.If the amount she smoked was more alarming than the autopsy results, it would not be able to support her to the top floor of the group at all.
The specific shooting time of the video can be confirmed through technical analysis. In other words, the memory card saved in Xiao Xu's hand is a strong evidence that can overturn the result of public opinion.
Good steel should be used wisely. The greatest feat of Xiao Xu's life was to secretly leave this interview that he could never send through himself.
As soon as he asked, Pei Ze's deep voice reached his ears through the receiver, "I can know your secret, and I can naturally do things you can't."
Even though it was like waste paper, that memory card was still one of the most important objects in Xiao Xu's heart. He took it with him wherever he went, and now he wandered into this small lounge with him.
The memory card as thin as a cicada's wings was finally transferred from Xiao Xu's hand to Pei Ze. Xiao Xu grabbed the neat bed sheet tightly with both hands, called him back tremblingly, and asked in a raised voice, "...Who are you?"
Pei Ze looked around his lounge, turned around and stopped, leaned over to Xiao Xu's ear, and said a word to him in an inaudible manner.
After not getting a reply from Xiao Xu for a long time, Fang Qining asked again patiently, "Xiao Xu?"
Xiao Xu immediately opened his eyes wide, and only then did he realize it. He muttered with his lips, "Mmm, um, I didn't sleep well, I'm still a little sleepy."
Fang Qining paused, and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "I wanted to invite you to have a drink and chat, but forget it, and go back to catch up on sleep early tonight."
After shifting positions, everyone sat down one by one, Fang Qining stood on the side, and waited for everyone to sit down before going to cover the door.
The five people formed a semicircle with a slightly smaller arc, and they were in counterclockwise order: Xie Qiao, Xiao Xu, Zhong Yao, Lu An, and Fang Qining.
Lu An lowered his head to confirm the time, "It's 07:30."
"It's okay," Fang Qining said, "wait a minute."
Just 1 minute later, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and the person who walked in was the dusty Pei Ze.
He raised his eyebrows and said in a high-pitched voice: "One, two, three, four, five, we're all here. It's okay, okay, I'm not the last one."
The one closest to the door was still Fang Xining. He walked over and sat down next to Fang Xining. He scanned the field with surprise in his eyes, "Oh? Isn't it shuffling the cards? Xiao Qiao is here too."
Xie Qiao squinted at him and said, "Why, I can't come?"
"Of course not, I'll go. I didn't expect it to be you," Pei Ze said after a lot of chattering and then recovered, "No, today is Saturday, right? It's not Sunday."
Fang Qining handed him a snack to stop his chattering, "Stop talking nonsense, someone won't come."
There were so many people on Saturday that most of the parking spaces near the road were taken up, so Lu An had to walk half the street to find the entrance of the underground parking lot.Fang Qining explained to him that he planned to go upstairs to chat with Xiao Xu first, and let Lu An just wait for him in the box.
