Guan Qing and Xie Xu packed up their emotions. It was almost evening when the old lady of the house owner knocked on the door and called them to go downstairs for dinner.

More than half of Guan Qing's whole body is used to worry about his mother, and the rest is used to get angry with Xie Xu.After the silence, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.

Xie Xu seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said in a low voice when he went downstairs:

"Auntie's matter... I was wrong. But at least, I can guarantee that she is not in danger now. "

Guan Qing clenched his hands tightly.He moved his lips, but finally said nothing.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm, and everyone chatted lively. They even deliberately used English in order to take care of Guan Qing.The landlady asked about Guan Qing's injury in broken English, and said that she would bring him some homemade medicine later.

The kindness from strangers made Guan Qing feel warm in his heart.

But...he was still a little out of his mind.

Mother's matter, Xie Xu's matter, everything is a mess.The truth was shrouded in layers of fog, and he only glimpsed an outline.

After dinner, the old lady invited him to play cards together, but Guan Qing politely declined.Xie Xu has been sitting next to him, helping him with vegetables and so on.

Xie Xu didn't speak much throughout the dinner, his eyes were a little swollen.His eyes only stayed a short distance in front of him, as if he was afraid of something, and he never dared to look aside.

He didn't dare to look at Guan Qing's left hand - the white bandage was so dazzling that he felt pain when he saw it.

After dinner, we chatted for a while.Guan Qing was about to go back to the bedroom and have a good talk with Xie Xu, but when she heard the old lady of the landlady say something, the group of tenants looked at them, whistled and laughed and booed.

Guan Qing: "...Huh?"

Xie Xu rubbed his arms, a little embarrassed: "Uh, they said..."

He turned his head and said something to the group of people in clumsy Czech, but the old landlady stretched out her index finger and shook her head.

Several young men came up and put Xie Xu in cotton-padded jackets, scarves and gloves without any explanation, while the women handed all kinds of clothes to Guan Qing tenderly. Guan Qing didn't know why, so he had to put them on.

Then, the landlady wiped her hands on the scarf, curled up her two fingers and whistled——

"Call-"

The snowflakes were falling slowly, and the whole town was lit up with dim yellow lamps little by little.This place seems to be far away from the modern society, and it gradually quiets down at eight o'clock in the evening, and the unlit lights carefully illuminate a small area.In the eyes of everyone, Guan Qing involuntarily looked into the distance...

The black shadow gradually approached and gradually became clear.

It was a carriage.

The maroon horse snorted and stepped on the snow, tall and handsome.The coachman was a middle-aged man about 40 years old. He pulled the reins, and the horse's two front legs were lifted up, and one of them stopped suddenly.

The middle-aged man smiled at them and said in broken English, "Hello, tonight's guest."

Guan Qing was startled, then turned her head, Xie Xu was gone.

The old landlady winked at him as a gesture.Guan Qing followed her gaze——

Xie Xu seemed to be pushed into the carriage by the men.At this moment, the car door was ajar, Xie Xu brushed off half of the snow on his head, the tip of his nose was a little red, the dim light came from beside him, the snowflakes fell little by little, and the sound of an accordion came from a distance, as if in a fairy tale.

"I, they insist..." Xie Xu rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment and embarrassment, and the group of young people immediately laughed mockingly.

Xie Xu had no choice but to look serious and stop talking.He looked at Guan Qing, the emotion in his eyes was imprinted with the light of the street lamp, it was incredibly soft.He opened his arms to Guan Qing: "Honey, I..."

He switched to Czech and said something under his breath.

The young people next to them were silent, and then their voices became louder in an instant, whistles rang out, everyone laughed and applauded, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Guan Qing was at a loss.

He couldn't understand that sentence, but Xie Xu's expression and the reactions of the people around made him vaguely aware of something.He was a little flustered and anxious, and tasted a little secret sweetness, but those emotions were fleeting.

Like the sound of an accordion coming from afar, the sound is illusory and extremely beautiful, so moving that one almost doubts that it is an illusion, but it is truly imprinted in the mind.He heard the sound of heartbeat resonating for a moment.

He was immersed in this too wonderful and charming atmosphere, and asked in a daze, "What did you say?"

He wanted to climb into the carriage by himself, but was hugged by Xie Xu.Xie Xu hugged him, lifted him almost in the air, carried him into the carriage, and whispered in his ear: "I just said... I want to show you Prague at night."

Absolutely not this.

Guan Qing thought, if it's just this sentence, there's no need to say it in Czech.

But... what is it?

But Xie Xu didn't seem to intend to say it.Guan Qing could only think that the time had not yet come.

He came back to reality from the trance, he roughly thought about what happened just now, and his heart rose again.Xie Xu's wound hasn't healed yet - he doesn't know how the injury came about, and Xie Xu didn't say anything - logically, he shouldn't move violently.Guan Qing and Xie Xu were still a little awkward, so he didn't look at Xie Xu, looked out the window, and asked, "How about your wound...?"

"It's not broken, don't worry." Xie Xu consciously lifted up his clothes to check for him.

Guan Qing pretended to glance casually and nodded.

After a while, he couldn't help but glanced again, this time directly into Xie Xu's eyes.

Xie Xu seemed to be watching him all the time.The two suddenly looked at each other, Xie Xu paused, without looking away, and said, "I..."

"What are you trying to do bravely?" Guan Qing stared at the faint light in the darkness outside the window, and said sullenly.

He wasn't heavy himself, but he was a grown man after all.With that kind of injury, picking him up...was an exaggeration.

"I didn't try to be brave," Xie Xu said, he paused, glanced out of the window, and also pretended to be casual:

"No matter how badly you are injured, I can still hug you."

A snowflake sticks to the glass window, the glass window is not clean, it is extremely blurred, the snowflake is printed with the faint light, fragile yet strong.

"..."

Guan Qing was shocked, always felt that there was something in Xie Xu's words.He was about to look at Xie Xu.The carriage stopped.The coachman lifted the curtain, helped them down, and then took off their hats to them, making a gentlemanly salute.

When the coachman whistled and went away, Guan Qing still couldn't recover.

The coachman put them in a crowded place, which seemed to be a night market, and the little girl with a Scottish headscarf on the side of the road shouted something in Czech, and seemed to be selling some small jewelry.Women gather together to chat, children run around holding candies, the sheds erected to isolate the snowflakes, and the hot smoke and white mist envelope the people. This is a very beautiful place full of fireworks.

It has been less than a day since he came to Prague, but his impression of the city remains the same.It's so real, yet so cute, too cute to be real.

Xie Xu held up an umbrella that he didn't know where to touch, leaned against him with his arms around him, and said in a low voice:

"I'm grateful for the kindness of Ms. Mariana—that is, the landlady, and those young people, but..."

He leaned close to Guan Qing's ear: "In the future, if there is a chance, I will take you to play again. This time, we have something to do."

Guan Qing suddenly woke up.The uneasiness and anxiety that he had deliberately forgotten surged into his heart again, and his heart was always hanging in the air——

mother.

Even though they were in the same city, he felt that he was far away from her.

"where is she?"

Xie Xu took a deep look at him, raised his index finger and said 'shh'.Then, he put his arms around Guan Qing's shoulders, just like every intimate and affectionate couple on the street, clinging to each other, whispering and walking forward.

"She's in Prague, with your stepfather."

Xie Xu said.

The two of them walked slowly in the crowd, and the sound of the organ still came from afar.There seemed to be a dance party somewhere, far away from them, but the lively atmosphere was faintly permeated.

"I want to see her."

Guan Qing felt his throat was extremely dry, he whispered.

The posture of the two of them is very intimate, under the street lamp by the market, they are like lovers cuddling each other and talking about love.

Xie Xu hesitated.

"It might not work now...I don't know what Wang Yun wants to do." He paused and said, "She once told me that she wanted the Jiang family and wanted me to marry Jiang Lu—but I thought about it for a long time , with Wang Yun's skill, it won't go to the point of saving the country through marriage."

It is impossible for him and Jiang Lu, and the whole world knows it.Before doing that, he considered that Jiang Lu might get angry and become angry from embarrassment.However, there is no other way.

"I checked the information and found that she lived in Prague when she was young, which is very strange. She has been a proud child of heaven since she was a child, and her resume is perfect... Even if she is studying abroad, she should not come to Prague. She may be—" Xie Xu Halfway through, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Guan Qing followed his line of sight.

It was a small photo studio, opened at the edge of the market, and an uncle was sitting at the door smoking a pipe, holding a stack of newspapers, and the radio was squeaking.

The uncle had deep wrinkles on his face, and he seemed not easy to get along with.

He glanced at the two of them, his gaze moved slowly away with some disdain and contempt.He looked down at the old newspaper for two seconds, and suddenly realized something, his eyes rolled and fixed on Xie Xu.

Guan Qing seemed to hear Xie Xu sigh, but when he looked, Xie Xu still had the usual expression.Xie Xu led him to the front of the store.

Guan Qing is a bit short-sighted, and at this point he finally sees it clearly - the photo hanging at the door, the man on it is very young, he doesn't look at the camera, he looks in another direction and smiles.

The man's eyes are slightly lighter in color, and when he gazes at a certain point, he looks affectionate and affectionate.Photographic technology was not well developed in that era, but this photo...

The sunlight came from the side of the man, and his whole body was bathed in the light, his broken hair was flying in the wind, he was handsome and ruffian, as if he was smiling at someone he liked.

There are not many colors in the photo, but all the light, all the colors, surround the man.He seems to be nostalgic for everything, and also for the photographer.

Guan Qing was stunned.

——The facial features of that person are four or five points similar to Xie Xu's.

The two people far away in Prague didn't know that when they were at the market, an entry became a hot search on Weibo of country Z, which was separated by an eight-hour time difference——

#Thank Xu Guanqing and his wife for marriage#

"Did my Xu Xu forget his Weibo password again? Brother Guan Qing, can you remind your husband?"

"Qingqing fans said that not only your Xie Xu disappeared, but also we haven't seen Qingqing for a long time. [doge]"

"Informed sources revealed that Xie Xufa's last Moments location was in the Czech Republic."

"The two disappeared together, could it be—"

"Are you married???"

Yes, since the last plagiarism incident was clarified, a group of people who call themselves "Qingqing fans" have emerged inexplicably.

Some of them are originally fans of Xie Xu, and some are psychological researchers, and their composition is very complicated.

And the reason why there is such a group of fans is because...the plagiarism incident last time, Xie Xu responded beautifully.

The reversal of the plagiarism incident can almost be recorded in the case of crisis public relations.After all, the public opinion in the early days was almost one-sided, and there was a comeback in the later period, which was almost beyond everyone's expectations. At first, everyone scolded Guan Qing for plagiarism, and the voice of reason was drowned out.

It was Xie Xuxian who used his influence to forcibly suppress negative comments and control the field in time.Of course, in this process, quite a few 'fans' claim to turn black or lose fans, because they can't stand Xie Xu's favoritism and cheating.

However, soon, Xie Xu held a press conference and presented evidence one by one.

Among them is one item - the unique first-hand data obtained in Peach Blossom Town.

Taohua Town, an extremely isolated place, provided a very important data for Guan Qing's research due to the particularity of the environment.In the paper published in a well-known journal, this data was also used, but the source could not be explained.

In fact, Xie Xu also listed various clues, including the initial research time and various evidences.

The press conference, which Xie Xu didn't even attend—was called and moderated by a figure of considerable weight in academia.This Professor Xu has reached the top position in China and even in the world, and he doesn't need to please Xu Xu to get anything.

At the end of the press conference, Professor Xu tidied up the documents on the desktop and said slowly:

"Guan Qing is a spiritual child, I... just need a closed disciple."

The academic world was shocked.

Professor Xu's last student had already had his own laboratory and was at the forefront of academic research. In recent years, Professor Xu has only given lectures occasionally and mainly done research and speeches. Unexpectedly...

All in all, Guan Qing once again made a splash in another way.

Of course he himself knew nothing about it.

Then, people who maintained a rational attitude at the beginning became active, and quite a few of them became Guan Qing's 'fans'.They even dug up his Weibo, most of which were reposts of lottery draws, or random comments on current affairs news, and occasionally a dozen advertisements for the dating agency they used to work for.

Only then did everyone discover that he used to be a matchmaker.

"……so cute."

Different from the disgust in the past, this time everyone made a voice of satisfaction in unison.

However, this enthusiasm did not last long.

Jiang Lu suddenly announced that he...was marked by Xie Xu.He even showed some so-called 'proofs' and circled the official blog of the Omega Rights Association.

Because omega accounts for too little of the population, they are completely vulnerable groups. The trend in recent years is also that policies and benefits are more biased toward omega.Therefore, when omega is marked, whether it is the responsibility of alpha or not, alpha needs to be responsible.

Under normal circumstances, the responsible method is... marriage.

The entire entertainment circle was silent, and it was about to explode.

But this time Xie Xu's reaction was even quicker. He even threw out his surgery certificate half an hour after Jiang Lu's action——

He had an operation to block the omega pheromone-induced operation, a year ago.

That operation has not been practiced in China, but the technology in country M is relatively mature.But there are not many people who voluntarily undergo surgery. This surgery was originally used by soldiers to prevent untimely passive estrus.

Even... Xie Xu is different from those soldiers, the surgery he performed is permanent.

Xie Xu didn't tell anyone, including Guan Qing.At that time, he only said to Guan Qing 'going to film, about three months'.

At that time, he was taking medicine in the early stage of the operation, which more or less affected emotions, making people irritable and irritable... Many of his later sequelae, including uncontrollable coercion, were different from this. small contact.

"I had this idea a year and a half ago. I tried to direct a play. You may know a little bit about it. It's called "Don't Cross Me". Some of the treatment he suffered on the Internet. He was separated from his wife and forced to..."

Love and can't.

It seems that a relationship with unequal status is the original sin.

That movie didn't do well at the box office in the end, but it won many awards.Xie Xu was shocked when he first got the script.He thought, there are some things he must say, in his unique way, to the world.

Say……

I love him and I'm not wrong.

However, "Don't Cross Me" was banned in China due to its subject matter, and not many people knew about it.

That movie was the fundamental reason that inspired Xie Xu to do this, and secondly, of course, there were some other reasons as well.For example... Wang Yun's frequent urging of marriage gave him this idea.

However, when the operation was completed, he told Wang Yun immediately without telling Xie Qing.

It's a bit of a show off, a bit of a feeling of "returning a city".

However, Wang Yun turned a deaf ear to it. She should be urged to marry, and should be forced.Xie Xu gradually understood what she meant——

She doesn't care whether he likes it or not, whether he is attracted or disgusted physically, all she needs is a qualified actor.

After all, she doesn't love Xie Xu, not at all.

Guan Qing looked at the person in the photo.

A few fewer wrinkles, a little more youthful taste, and a vague glimpse of the mature and naive handsome uncle decades later.

——That turned out to be Xie Qing.

"Uncle, this photo is..."

It's so weird.

Xie Qing's photos do often appear in financial magazines, but they shouldn't appear here.Especially Xie Qing in this photo, who looks at most 16 years old, and Xie Qing was still a student at that time.The Xie family's family education is relatively strict, and the children are not allowed to show their faces and steal the limelight when they are underage.

And the angle of view, the color of this photo... are all too obvious.

Through the lens, one can see the photographer's admiration for the person in the painting, which is close to despair and entangled to death.

The camera is placed very low, looking up a little bit, that kind of...humble liking, an insignificant grass, struggling on the ground, wanting the other party to take another look.

Guan Qing was too familiar with this emotion.

only--

"..." The uncle waved his hand in displeasure and said something.

Guan Qing saw the inscription, and in the corner of the photo, she fell gently on Xie Qing's ear, like a secret announcement, even that announcement was so cautious and humble.

It is a string of cursive characters, which seems to be the English name of a girl.

Guan Qing wanted to say more, the uncle frowned even tighter.At this time, Xie Xu took a step forward, stared straight at the uncle, and opened a photo on his mobile phone to show the uncle—it turned out to be a photo of Wang Yun.He asked in English: "Has this person ever worked in your store? The photographer of this photo...

"Is it her?"
