also sing

That's how we get started? "

"But isn't this the rule in the circle! Why can others do it, but I can't?"

Xiang An glanced at her and shook his head in disappointment.

She seemed to have sensed the disappointment in his eyes, and for some reason she was suddenly at a loss for words, and slowly lowered her head.

"Who would do such a thing if there were other options."

She put the water glass on the table, left this sentence and left.

The two never saw each other until the end of filming.

When the film was released, the box office was dismal as expected, and there was a lot of scolding. Many people said that the film is worth [-] cents special effects and even the ticket price is not worth it. It is true that many years of feelings have fed the dog!

But there is only one thing, at the end of the film, when the battle between the green and red parties ends, the corpses of humans and monsters lie everywhere between the heaven and the earth, and the Qionglou Yuyu's ten thousand years of foundation in the mountains and seas are turned into dust, a close-up of a little demon is shown. , Looking back silently from before the boundless land, there is an incomparable sadness in those eyes, which is very appealing.

It wasn't in the original book, but this clip was added to the movie, pushing the whole story to a deeper grandeur.It can be said to be the only bright spot of this bad film.

And this bright spot was naturally bestowed on Jiang Xiaozheng by Xiang An.

As a result, she got a lot of attention and got better invitations.

For this, Jiang Xiaozheng was very grateful and kept it in his heart silently.

Then one day, by such a coincidence, the two of them accidentally went into the same cake shop to choose small cakes, and when they recognized them, it was she who greeted Xiang An first, apologized to Xiang An embarrassedly, and asked him to have lunch to make amends.Xiang An accepted the invitation easily.

The two were chatting at the table, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Xiang An asked where Jiang Xiaozheng graduated, and she replied that it was a third-rate college, which was not very good.

Xiang An smiled and said, "I haven't graduated from college yet, and you're much better off than me."

Jiang Xiaozheng looked surprised: "How is it possible?!"

Xiang An briefly talked about his situation back then, which university he went to, what major he studied, and later dropped out of school for some reason.

Of course, it's just a rough talk, and not everything has been shaken out.He didn't drink again.

"I didn't expect that." Jiang Xiaozheng sighed softly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that years would pass in a blink of an eye." Xiang An shrugged, "I don't even think it's real."

"That day when I broke into your room recklessly and said those words, you must think it's ridiculous, but now I think it's quite ridiculous when I think about it," she shrank her neck and said, "but fortunately you didn't care about it, I still think it's ridiculous." What luck, haha."

"It's good to be young, and you know how to argue for yourself. You have something you desperately want to get. I envy you very much."

Jiang Xiaozheng kept holding the vegetables, and shook his head again and again: "Don't, don't envy me, what's the use of being young, for those who accomplish nothing, being young is just an excuse for incompetence,"

"I don't want to be a waste, and it's too late to escape. You still envy me."

"Who said you're useless? Didn't you grasp the opportunity well? How many people's hearts have been captured by just a moment of footage? If this is useless, how will others live?"

She laughed immediately: "Really?"

Xiang An nodded and said in affirmation: "Really, what are you doing lying to you." After thinking about it, he added, "Don't feel sorry for yourself, you are very good."

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed you praised me." Sure enough, I was really embarrassed, my ears turned red, and I quickly stuffed another mouthful of food to cover it up, "Excellent, excellent, you are also excellent, and I am also excellent, let's be excellent together!"

This kid is really interesting, although the number of times we meet can be counted on the fingers, he is not restrained at all when getting along.

Xiang An seldom meets new friends, but sitting and eating with Jiang Xiaozheng feels the long-lost happiness.

"How is your work arrangement recently?" He asked casually, "Are there too many films for you?"

"Yeah, I received some calls I don't know. I went to an audition for a movie and was rejected. Yesterday, the director actually asked his assistant to call me, saying that there was a role in the new movie, and asked me if I was interested. It surprised me. It's all broken!"

She couldn't hide her excitement, and happily described how she chatted with the person on the other end of the phone, drank a sip of water, and then said, "I didn't even dare to think about it before, but I still have this day!"

"Is that enough?" Xiang An smiled and looked at her like a child.

Maybe he didn't even realize it. When facing Jiang Xiaozheng, he would unconsciously show a pampering look, just like a father looks at his daughter, and a brother looks at his sister, hoping that she will always be happy and carefree. consider.

"That's a pity." Xiang Qiang sighed pretendingly.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Jiang Xiaozheng immediately stopped his excitement and paid attention.

"I have a good role here, and I want to ask if you are interested."

"Good character?"

"Yes. We're talking, and it's expected to start up in the second half of the year." Halfway through the talk, he curled his lips again, "Unfortunately, it looks like you don't have any schedule in the future."

"How could it be! Of course there is!"

In order to show her sincerity, she even put down her chopsticks, "You said you said, as long as you need me, I can handle it!"

"Haha." Xiang An couldn't help laughing.

He suddenly felt that he was a bit sorry for embarrassing a little girl like this with the few years of extra food.

"Just kidding." He decided to let her go, "But seriously, if you have a good character, you must be considered first."

"real?!"

Jiang Xiaozheng is a person who can't hide things on his face, so he couldn't control his excitement immediately, "Then we have a deal! As long as you come to me, no matter what I am doing, you will push me away, and I will die!"

Xiang An is also very happy:

"Well, it's settled."

Their "deal" is not just a formality like others, as an excuse that there will be no "next time", but it is really a deal.

Because not long after, Xiang An really found Jiang Xiaozheng with a play, and in the next few years, as long as the youth novels he created were remakes of TV series, she must be the queen heroine.

Everyone couldn't understand why Xiang An favored such an unknown eighth-line star. Even Zhou Li couldn't guess what was special about her.

So entertainment magazines scrambled to write scribbles. In their writing, Jiang Xiaozheng was nothing more than a lucky vase with a good face and a canary who leaned on his thighs.

She didn't care, and neither did Xiang An.

No matter how an outsider writes, the two of them will go their own way and know each other clearly.

Ah no, it's not... so innocent.

During the filming of the headline scene, because of his closeness to Xiang An, Jiang Xiaozheng did think wrongly for a while.

Xiang An took good care of her, even to the point of being responsive to her requests.She naturally regarded this special treatment as a pursuit, thinking that he really liked her.

With such an illusion, according to Jiang Xiaozheng's straightforward personality, of course he would not choose to be ambiguous to embarrass himself.

She rushed to Xiang An's room, and said straight to the point:

"Xiang Da, have you taken a fancy to me?"

"Ah?..." Xiang An was confused again.

"They all said that you were so kind to me because you fell in love with me. In fact, I also think that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. After meeting you, I wondered if I was too lucky!"

Xiang An made her laugh: "Aren't you stupid, do you believe people talking nonsense?"

"But, if you haven't taken a fancy to me, why were you so anxious when I wanted to dive into that assistant last time?"

Seeing that Xiang An didn't move, she simply pulled her clothes on her own, showing half of her shoulders, "I will keep in mind that you are kind to me, and if you really mean that, I will admit it!"

"Hey!" Xiang An was taken aback and yelled at her, "Put it on quickly! There's no girl who has no skin and no face to insist on selling herself."

……

Jiang Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, then pulled up his clothes: "Then..."

Xiang An rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.

He said slowly: "Although it sounds like an excuse, I really... I really don't like girls."

"what?"

"Last time you saw that tall one, about my age, Mr. Zhou, do you remember?"

Seeing her nodding, she breathed a sigh of relief to An, "He is my boyfriend."

"So, the previous report is correct, are you really?..." Jiang Xiaozheng was extremely surprised.

"Yeah." Xiang An nodded and made it clear, "I'm currently in love."

"Fuck!"

Jiang Xiaozheng was in a mess, so he quickly tidied up his clothes. Thinking of all the stupid actions he had just done, he wished he could get into the cracks in the ground.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart." Xiang An comforted her.

The matter was resolved in this way. Later, Jiang Xiaozheng was depressed for a few days, and when he met Xiang An, he wanted to hide unnaturally, but as the filming progressed, he quickly put it behind him, and the relationship between the two returned to normal .

When Xiang An arrived, he didn't tell her why he chose to sleep with her, why so many people were looking forward to him, and he chose an unknown little actor like her to praise her.

Is it down to luck?

Also count.Not all.

We should all know that there is nothing good for no reason in the world, and there are not so many coincidences without reason.

If Xiang An is Zhou Li's little turtle, then Jiang Xiaozheng is his.

The regret he wanted to make up for suddenly found the direction of breathing the moment he met her, and what he couldn't protect when he had nothing, can finally be fulfilled now.

He wants her to be happy, to grow up happily in the sun of the world for someone who passed away with low self-esteem and pain, to live a glorious life, and to embrace every morning to the fullest.

He didn't say these things, but quietly accumulated them in his heart.

Only when he saw her bright smile, he raised the corners of his mouth happily.

He asked her to call him brother, and answered happily every time, just like hearing the familiar voice in his memory.

Even though we all know, she is not her.

His sky is also brighter because of this.

☆、2017 Hanping

The temperature has dropped sharply in recent days, accompanied by the famous smog in Hanping, which makes people feel gloomy.

In this gloom, a happy event suddenly flew.

——Gu Xiaoran is getting married!

When he heard the news, Xiang Anzheng was reading a book in a wicker chair on the second floor of the bookstore, and Zhou Li pushed the door open and strode in, happily waving the invitation in his hand.

"Clang clang clang clang! Look what good things I got!"

"What good stuff?!"

Xiang An also cooperated extremely, and quickly leaned out from the edge of the chair.

"Big red wedding invitation!"

"Wow! Who's getting married? Take me, take me!"

"Guess?" Zhou Li smiled mysteriously, "I'm sure you can guess."

"Okay, let me guess, you are not allowed to remind!"

Xiang An rolled his eyes and counted, "We both know not many people. Yesterday, you answered the phone at home, and you were very happy. I still remember that when Gu Xiaoran returned to the country last month, So...the one who is about to get married is..."

Zhou Li was full of anticipation, and encouraged him with his eyes, "Speak up", "Speak up"...

The much-anticipated answer——

"It's your sister!"

"Bingo!"

The two of them huddled together and jumped up and down, happily like children.

"It's finally the day I've been waiting for!"

Zhou Li burst into tears.

"You talk about these little brats, it doesn't make us worry at all!"

Xiang An also howled loudly, "It's easy for us adults!"

"Go! Choose a dress!"

"Go!"

The two of them threw away the book, and shook hands holding hands, not to mention Duole.

By the way, there is one thing I didn't mention.

Everyone must also be curious, Gu Xiaoran has been empty for so many years, who did she end up with?

You will definitely not believe it!

We all know this person, but we are infatuated with each other, there is no one in a million——

secretary!

Hahahaha!

I'm so happy!

Thinking back to when Gu Xiaoran went to England, the secretary sighed and thought about it, and Xiang An advised him not to be so stubborn, and to open his eyes to see the beautiful girls around him.

But the secretary couldn't listen.Think about it, he has been so stubborn for so many years, can he be moved by these few words that are not painful?

Later, Xiang An left Hening and gradually lost contact with them, and he didn't know their future development.

It is said that the soul of the secretary's Secondary School Awakened strongly, turned grief into strength, worked hard, high-spirited fighting spirit, soared all the way, followed Gu Xiaoran's footsteps and went to England in the second year.

The process was very difficult, and we were not together at the beginning, and we only kept in touch with each other intermittently through chat software.

But our secretary has determination and perseverance. He keeps working hard, and gradually narrows the distance between the two of them. Finally, he goes to the city where she lives and dangles in front of her all day long.

Think about it, no matter how strong Gu Xiaoran is, she is still a girl, and she is in a foreign country, so it is inevitable that there will be times when she is vulnerable and homesick, and the secretary seizes the opportunity to sneak in at these times, silently taking care of her, protecting her She finds all excuses to be her reliance.

Just like that... step by step, I succeeded in chasing the goddess!

Are you saying inspirational or not?

It's so epic, my God!

When the news was revealed in the twelfth lunar month last year, Zhou Li was so moved by them both that he immediately decided that the secretary was his sure-fire brother-in-law.

Now, this prospective brother-in-law is about to get married, can you not be excited?

On the day of the wedding, Zhou Li was busy helping Zhang Luo, and Xiang An and Xiao Liu were playing cards in the tea room. A lot of college classmates came, making the room lively.

The wedding car drove from the north area of ​​Hening to the south gate, a row of new Audis and BMWs, tied with wedding ribbons like a long queue, arrived at the small villa of the Zhou family, the secretary got off the car, was hugged and booed and went upstairs, saw the bride, Kneeling on one knee, with a happy smile on his face:

"marry me!"

"Ok!"

Gu Xiaoran burst into laughter.

Xiang An has never seen her smile like this before. She is bright and bright. As expected, the happiest people are married to love.

Then the secretary picked up Gu Xiaoran, and led the motorcade to the auditorium surrounded by everyone.

The priest gave the ceremony, and the elder gave a speech. Gu Xiaoran was in the eyes of everyone, wearing a flawless white wedding dress, with a slightly protruding belly, step by step, as if she was going to hug him back then, she walked towards the secretary solemnly.

The wedding process is boring.

But it makes people feel very beautiful.

As he got older, he became more and more easily sad. Xiang An secretly wiped away his tears on the corner seat. He seemed to see the secretary who was still a boy, writing down his thoughts one by one under the desk lamp, recording how he watched that person from afar. The best of her.

He seemed to see under the sky with night stars hanging low, Gu Xiaoran asked him sadly with wet tears: Are all loves so sad?And he comforted patiently: No, there must be such feelings, two people support each other, and care for each other.

Now the secretary is no longer young, with green stubble growing, Gu Xiaoran also put on her wedding dress, and is about to become a wife and mother. They caught each other in the busyness of the world, and luckily possessed happiness.very nice.

Because both of them deserve such beauty.

Lying on the bedside at night, Xiang An put out his cigarette, and leaned lazily in Zhou Li's arms.

He sighed inexplicably: "How time flies!"

"Yeah, it's been so fast, I'm going to be an uncle in a blink of an eye!" Zhou Li said happily, "Do you think we should prepare some small clothes and shoes earlier? There is no meeting ceremony for guys."

"It's time to prepare." Xiang An said.

At this time, a message flashed, and he pointed to open it. It was the assistant who sent tomorrow's schedule.

When he came back to his senses, Zhou Li was still saying, "Hey, do you think he will be a boy or a girl? Will I have a little nephew or a little niece?"

"Look, you're so happy, let's have a baby tomorrow."

Xiang An smiled, and rushed to kiss his face.

Zhou Li also immediately shut up, and concentrated on hugging him and kissing him.

From the eyebrows to the tip of the lips, Zhou Li's kiss is very gentle, and it will make people feel like being held in the palm of the hand and cared for at any time, which makes Xiang An enjoy it very much.

Xiang An is a sick man, and Zhou Li is his medicine. Although it doesn't cure the root cause, it can save his life.

The two kissed tacitly, and someone reached out to turn off the light.

In their bedroom on the second floor of the bookstore, they enjoyed the bright and endless night sky of the city, the wide and soft bed, and the good times that never came to an end.

Embrace each other, ask and give each other, and enjoy the most harmonious symbiotic relationship at this moment.

After sleeping until dawn, at ten o'clock in the morning, the phone rang cheerfully, Xiang An raised his hand in a daze to pick it up, stared for a while, got up and rumpled his hair and went to the side room of the kitchen.

There was breakfast prepared by Zhou Li on the table, two stacks of egg pancakes, and a glass of milk.

While eating, I casually browsed the mobile phone messages and checked today's itinerary.

A few days ago, his assistant mentioned to him that there is a new film and television company that wants to talk about cooperation, and it seems that he has taken a fancy to his book "Give Me a Homeless".

He frowned. He didn't intend to remake this book, and he didn't even think about republishing it after it was published.

For him, this book has a special meaning. It was written before he established a relationship with Zhou Li, and it was a farewell ceremony with everything in the past.

But the assistant said that the other party was very sincere, and offered a very tempting condition, and claimed that he would respect the author, be faithful to the original work, and carefully consider all requests made to An.

Everyone has said that, and it seems that I will feel sorry for turning away with a cold face, so I will see you later.

The interview was scheduled in the conference room on the seventh floor of Xiang An's company. When he arrived, it was said that the other party had been waiting for a long time.Xiang An looked at his watch suspiciously. It was 45:15, and he was [-] minutes ahead of schedule.

Unhappily pouted.

Hey!Whether this person will succeed or not is still a question. Is it necessary to be so diligent?

It seems that he is arrogant and neglecting others.

After adjusting her clothes and putting on a bright smiling face, Xiang An pushed open the door of the meeting room and apologized to everyone present with a smile: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long."

After all, he has dealt with various circles for so many years. Although he can't be called tactful and conscientious, he still understands basic public relations etiquette.With a decent and humble face in front of him, no one would embarrass anyone, right?

It's a pity, as far as his cultivation is not enough, there will always be a time when he breaks his skills.

No, looking around with that smiling face on his face, when his eyes fell on a person, he suddenly froze.

What year is this?

Xiang An suddenly couldn't remember clearly.

He froze on the spot, in a trance, thinking he was in a dream.

The person in front of him was taller, more mature, and more handsome than before. He changed his clothes and hairstyle, showing more and more charming charm, but still, still...you can recognize him at a glance.

His eyes and his outline are still deeply engraved in Xiang An's memory.

For a moment, Xiang An was still in a trance, while Qu Li stood up and extended his hand in a friendly way: "Nice to meet you, West Wind."

After hesitating for half a second, Xiang An also reached out to complete the friendly shake.His expression returned to normal.

"Hello," he said.

Qu Li sat down, spread a reassuring smile, and asked with concern: "I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"

Xiang An said: "It's been so many years, I really never thought that this day will come, you sit with me, talking and laughing like nothing happened."

He still couldn't control himself well, and unconsciously, his words were full of guns and sticks, "Why bother?"

Qu Li didn't care, bowed his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, we have been old friends for many years, isn't it normal for friends to meet?"

"Friend? I'm sorry, I may not be able to bear my hypocrisy," Xiang An said mercilessly, "We can't be friends!"

"Xiang An..."

"Boss Qu, it's better not to talk about the past, let's go straight to the point and talk about business."

He quickly flipped through the materials prepared by his assistant in advance, turned the pen in his hand, forced to relax, and said in a strong tone, "As far as I know, Boss Qu's previous company was mainly engaged in import and export trade. Why did he suddenly want to develop into the film and television industry?"

"You may have misunderstood," Qu Li responded freely, "You are talking about the company my father is in charge of. In fact, after I graduated five years ago, I was trying a new field. It was not a whim."

"Five years?" Xiang An smiled, five years ago he was already a best-selling author, but did Qu Li just start his career?

His expression unconsciously turned contemptuous, "The foundation of a film and television company that has been in the industry for five years is too weak. Where did you get the confidence to convince me to put my heart and soul into your hands?"

"Xiang An..." Qu Li had no choice but to take a look at the information and planning we provided first. Believe me, we have the strength to make a good film and we won't let you down."

"Why should I trust you?"

Xiang An held the pen tightly and stared into Qu Li's eyes.It seems that what they are talking about now is not this small cooperation, but the various hatreds that have been separated for ten years.

"You can make any request, casting, and location. As long as we can do it, everything will be done according to your ideas. During the shooting process, you can review it at any time, and rescind the contract at any time. You have all the initiative!"

Qu Li spread everything out on the table for him to examine, waiting for his answer with eyes full of expectation, "Is this okay?"

And Xiang An avoided his sight angrily.

He had thought about it before, if he met again, what kind of mood would he face the twists and turns, would it be regret, anger, or reluctance?

No, he told himself, Quli is a thing of the past.

Now that it has passed and life must move forward, there should be no more entanglements.If one day he sees Qu Li, it will be like meeting anyone on the side of the road, there will be no extra emotions, neither sadness nor joy, the clouds are calm and the wind is light.

But, it's impossible to be calm and breezy at all, shit!

After so many years, he found powerlessly that Qu Li still occupies an important place in his heart, still clamoring in his most fragile memory, showing off his power, and can easily remove his disguise and break through all his defenses.

Distorted.These two words alone represented his unbearable pain, the humbleness and regret that he didn't want to recall in his life.

He couldn't stay for a moment, he just wanted to run away.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to take this risk." He quickly sorted out the materials, signed the pen, stood up and was about to leave.

There is a full set of drama, and I have to pretend to be polite before leaving, "Boss Qu, please do what you want."

But Qu Li hastily called to stop him: "Xiang An!"

Seeing him slowing down, he changed his tone to a more gentle one, "I haven't seen you for many years, do you have time to have a meal together?"

"No need!" Xiang An refused very simply, "I'm very busy and don't have time."

"Xiang An—" Qu Li was disappointed and aggrieved, "Don't be so heartless?"

Xiang An suddenly turned around with a half-smile, as if he didn't know him.

"Quli, what do you think of me?"

"You can spit out one at will, and pick up the candy that was stuffed back into your mouth?"

"Or a dog that pats its head when it's happy, and kicks it away when it's unhappy?"

These words were sharp and piercing, Qu Li was restless under his gaze but could not speak.

"If you haven't recognized our relationship yet, let me tell you clearly now," Xiang An said indifferently, "From the moment you chose to give up on me ten years ago, the relationship between us has disappeared. So, no dinner, no cooperation, please Boss Qu, please take a detour when you see me, or don't blame me for not wanting to see you!"

What a decisive declaration!

It was like a blow to the head, hitting Qu Li hard on the forehead.

He was dazzled and his ears were ringing, he came back to his senses and wanted to chase after him, but Xiang An walked like a gust of wind, without giving him the slightest chance.

Xiang An strode out of the corridor, took the elevator and turned into his office.

After closing the door, he held his slightly trembling fingers.

So relieved!

Saying those words with your current identity, without thinking about the consequences, is decisive and chic!

It seems that he has secretly practiced countless times behind his back, as if he has worked so hard for so many years to achieve this day!

!

He was taken aback by the thought in his head.

☆、2017 Hanping

Xiang An lost his mind and walked around the store uncontrollably, trying to flip through the books, but couldn't calm down.

Lie down with Zhou Li at night and turn on a small bedside lamp.He thought about it for a moment, but decided not to hide it.

"Old Zhou," he said sullenly, "I met someone today."

"Who?"

Zhou Li gently stroked the hair on his temples and ears while sorting out today's accounts.

"Curved away."

He felt that Zhou Li's hand was obviously not moving by his ear, and he explained anxiously, "It's not private, it's their company who came to discuss cooperation with us, and we met by accident, and I didn't know it beforehand."

"It's okay," Zhou Li said, "I know about it."

"you know?"

"A few days ago, he came to the store to look for you, but you were not here."

"!"

Xiang An got up and said as if he was facing an enemy, "He came to look for me? When? Why didn't you mention it to me?"

"Xiang An, take it easy, you don't need to be so nervous."

Zhou Li closed the computer, tapped the lid with his fingers, and said helplessly, "No. 20, I was sorting out new books, he pushed the door in and asked if you were there, it's as simple as that,"

"I didn't tell you because I don't think it's important. He's just an old friend who doesn't matter. Whether you cooperate or not, it doesn't affect each other, does it?"

"Can……"

Xiang An did not give up, "Did he tell you anything?"

"No," Zhou Li shrugged. "He came in with a bouquet of flowers, bought a book, and then left. He nodded to me, but he didn't say hello. It looks like he didn't recognize me."

"He...forget it." Xiang An shook his head, hesitant to speak.

Zhou Li turned his head patiently, waiting for him to speak.

He had no choice but to say: "You are right, there is no need to worry about insignificant people."

Zhou Li smiled, even though he knew what he said against his will, he still nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"Old Zhou~"

"uh-huh?"

Xiang An showed an evil smirk, moved to his mouth, and pecked him unexpectedly.

"Shall we hey?"

Turning off the bed light casually, throwing away the computer that was in the way, throwing Zhou Li to An, tearing off his [ ], and kissing passionately and hard.

Zhou Li responded skillfully.

This was the first time that Xiang An took the initiative since they established their relationship two years ago.

He kept clasping Zhou Li's fingers, stretching his neck for kisses in repeated [ ].

Twisting [ ] obsessively, trying to get a longer and more intense pleasure from Zhou Li.

And Zhou Li seemed to understand his feelings, and kept responding more forcefully,

【】

-

Xiang An escaped from the company for two days off and stayed at home without going out.

He thought that after all, everyone was a mature adult, and he hid in the room to digest for two days, readjust his mood, and this matter would pass like this.

But he still underestimated the influence of Quli on himself.

At noon the next day, I received a text message from Jiang Xiaozheng. The new play had just finished and I just got off the plane, so we made an appointment to have dinner together.

Xiang An took care of things briefly, said hello to Zhou Li, and walked out the door.Opening the door and looking up, I saw Qu Li waiting outside the shop.

Hurry back, lock the door from the inside, and ask Zhou Li loudly: "Hey! Old Zhou! Where is the brand that our house is closed for business?"

"What?"

"Hang out quickly! Take half a day off in the afternoon and don't open the door!"

Zhou Li went in without knowing it, took out the sign and walked over, just saw the twisting outside the door and turned around, instantly understood, and grinned: "Okay."

"why are you laughing?"

Xiang An became more and more irritable, and chased him away angrily, and went into the inner room to nest in the rattan chair, picked up the book and flipped through it, no matter how he looked at it, it was not going well.

Qu Li patted on the door outside: "Xiang An! Xiang An! Come out, I have something to tell you!"

No one ignored him.

At this moment, Xiang An regretted why he installed a floor-to-ceiling glass door in the first place, so that people he didn't want to see fluttered in front of his eyes like flies, he really asked for guilt.He threw away the book and simply pulled on his shoes and went up to the second floor.

At noon, Zhou Li made millet porridge, and the two of them ate something with pickles, and then went to bed again.After an unknown amount of time, he stretched his neck to look at the darkened sky outside the window, and asked, "Has he left yet?"

Zhou Li said, "No."

Xiang An lowered his face and murmured a little worriedly: "You said he did it for a broken book. As for what, why did he rely on me instead of signing it?"

"You really think he's only doing it for your book?"

"I... don't care what he's doing for it." Xiang An insisted.

While tidying up the book list, Zhou Li said indifferently, "Forget it, Xiang An, it's been so many years, what can't you let go of your age?"

"How do you want me to let go? Don't you have to smile and shake hands with him and toast each other to celebrate? You have to give him what he wants to be relieved?" Xiang An was angry, " Why are you still speaking for him!"

"But think about it, are you happy if you really don't see him or listen to him?"

Zhou Li put down the book list, looked at him from behind the desk, and said seriously, "You have been rushing to draft manuscripts all these years, daring to make up the film and television pile, isn't it just to meet this day?"

Xiang An suddenly became dumb.

But the eyes staring at Zhou Li seemed to be retorting stubbornly: "I didn't!"

Zhou Li went on to say, "I guess he gave up his comfort zone and tried his own way in this field because he wanted to have an intersection with you someday."

"Don't talk about him so affectionately!" Xiang An chuckled, "Old Zhou, have you forgotten how I grabbed you and cried?"

"I'm not trying to expose your scars, Xiang An, I just hope you can give yourself a chance and stop holding on to the past."

Zhou Li's eyes were sincere and sincere, and when they fell on Xiang An, they reflected his heart nakedly like a mirror.

"I don't want to replay the past in my mind as soon as I see him, just begging him to let me go." He didn't want to continue arguing with Zhou Li because of this person, so he pulled the quilt and curled up under the quilt.

After a while, big raindrops fell, making the whole world rattle.

Xiang An in the quilt pricked up his ears, and heard Zhou Li get up from the table, walked over very lightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's raining outside."

Xiang An closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Zhou Li said again: "He hasn't left yet."

Xiang An still didn't respond.In my heart, I exploded and said: If I didn't leave, I didn't leave!There are eaves and trees to cover him, and he can still be drowned to death in summer!

After waiting for a while, the room was silent.

Zhou Li sighed, opened the door and went downstairs.Xiang An counted the sound of his footsteps, from the balcony, turned around the cubicle, stepped on the wooden stairs, went down step by step, unable to escape, threw off the quilt and jumped up from the bed, without shoes on, rushed downstairs.

Stopping Zhou Li in the corridor, he said angrily, "What are you going to tell him?"

"Don't say anything," Zhou Li was still good-tempered, "pass him an umbrella."

"Why do you have to give him a good face?!"

Xiang An collapsed, and the calmness and prudence he had practiced for many years was completely messed up. Like an awkward little girl, he lost his head for the first time and found Zhou Li unhappy.

"You don't love me at all?" He said indiscriminately, "Is that why you push me out? We've been together for so many years, and you never loved me, right? You just put me..."

He was emotional, talking nonsense in disappointment, like a hedgehog pricking anyone he saw, without considering the consequences, and seeing that most sensitive words were about to come out, Zhou Li took a step forward, still gently comforting him: "I love you , Xiang An, it is precisely because I love you that I don't want you to make a decision that you regret. Don't be like me, you don't even have a chance to let go. "

Zhou Li hugged him into his arms and coaxed him, "Go, explain the previous misunderstandings well, no matter what, I will wait for you here."

"No," Xiang An retorted stubbornly in a low voice, "Our situation is different. I'm with Quli, our relationship is not as deep as you imagine."

"Xiang An..."

"If we really love each other, why would we part ways because of a little thing? In the final analysis, it's because we are all too selfish, unwilling to be subdued, unwilling to bow our heads, and giving up each other for our own sake."

He went on to say, "Since I have already decided to give up, there is no reason to look back now."

"Old Zhou?"

"You said."

"If nothing happened to Wei Yutang back then, and he suddenly came back to look for you today, would you abandon me and go with him?"
