On the desktop, according to Chen Ling's instructions, he answered the questions one by one.

"good friend."

"No, I don't know them."

"joke."

"The one who cleans himself cleans himself."

His sweat soaked his shirt, sticking to his body.The urge to turn around and leave became more and more intense, and he forcibly suppressed it.Can't go, Chu Quan said to himself, that would be very embarrassing.

After the press conference, Chen Ling stepped forward and gave him a hug: "It's great!"

Chu Quan didn't smile, he gently pushed Chen Ling away: "Sister Chen."

Chen Ling's hand was still on Chu Quan's shoulder. Hearing Chu Quan address her like that, she immediately had a bad feeling, and her tone became serious: "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to act anymore."

Chen Ling was stunned, unable to understand what he meant for a while: "You mean..."

"Thank you for always worrying about me." Chu Quan said calmly: "Actually, I don't love the profession of acting very much, and I'm tired after so many years. Maybe it's just a break for a while, maybe forever. Actually, I'm here to participate in this press conference today ..."

He didn't continue, but Chen Ling suddenly understood.He came to the press conference just to make a nice exit.

Chen Ling kept holding back her tears with red eyes, but Chu Quan showed a relieved smile: "I'll go first."

He drove home by himself, and met a tall figure on the road close to the villa.Hearing the sound of the wheels, the man turned his head and glanced at him, only then did Chu Quan recognize that it was Guan Shuyi.

Chu Quan stopped the car beside her, rolled down the window, and said hello with some doubts: "Miss Guan?"

"Oh, hi." Guan Shuyi took off her earphones, looked at the empty co-pilot through the car window, showing a disappointed expression.She shrugged and explained to Chu Quan: "Guan Qianyue ran away from home. I wanted to see if he lived with you, but now it seems that he doesn't." She paused, then added helplessly and disgustedly: " Yes, running away from home is quite a secondary school."

Chu Quan got out of the car, looked at Guan Qianyue's house not far away, and asked softly, "When did it happen?"

"It's been a few days." Guan Shuyi said: "But it's not a big deal, he should just relax and come back after a while, just like ten years ago."

Chu Quan was clearly aware of Guan Shuyi's hostility towards him, and one of the evidences was that Guan Shuyi didn't smile at him today.This weird feeling was also felt when they first met, but Chu Quan didn't take it to heart at that time.

But as the rumored actor who caused the Guan family's listed company to suspend trading, Chu Quan could only accept Guan Shuyi's indifferent attitude.He asked politely, "Miss Guan, would you like to come to my house?"

He just asked out of politeness, but Guan Shuyi unexpectedly agreed.But until they walked into the living room and sat down, there was an eerie silence between the two of them.Chu Quan was uncomfortable, but Guan Shuyi was very calm, and looked at the layout of the house with special interest.

Chu Quan asked, "What would Miss Guan want to drink?"

"Hot water is fine, I'm a little uncomfortable."

Chu Quan poured two glasses of water, seeing that Guan Shuyi didn't intend to speak, he just stared at the curling heat in a daze.

After a while, Guan Shuyi suddenly said: "Guan Qianyue is a very stubborn person, since he was a child. He can love someone for many years, but sometimes he is easy to get into the horns."

Chu Quan didn't understand why she suddenly commented on Guan Qianyue's character, but when he heard that name, his mouth felt sweet and astringent.

"Although I have two older brothers, the elder brother is more like a half father, and the second brother is more like a half younger brother." Guan Shuyi suddenly smiled: "He is really stupid sometimes, isn't he?"

The atmosphere was not relaxed, Chu Quan glanced at Guan Shuyi without knowing it, and although he agreed with her words, he did not smile.

The two were quiet for a while, Guan Shuyi's face suddenly darkened: "You really don't care about him at all, do you?"

Chu Quan heard the sarcasm in the other party's words, wanted to refute but didn't know where to start, so he could only lower his head and gently turn the cup in his hand.

"It's because he has never forgotten you for so many years!" His silence made Guan Shuyi feel very angry. The girl slammed the water glass on the table vigorously, and the anger quickly spread from her red eyes to her fingertips. When she pointed at Chu Quan , as if shooting a sharp arrow: "You lied to him and made him look for it for so many years. He stood in front of you, but you didn't remember it at all. Do you really have a heart, Zhou Yang?"

Zhou Yang!Zhou Yang!Zhou Yang!

Chu Quan let go of his hand, and spilled a whole cup of scalding water, flowing from his knees to his ankles.However, at this moment, he was unconscious, and just stared blankly at Guan Shuyi, his lips trembling: "What did you say?

"Can't you remember? The first boyfriend who ran away after sleeping?"

"I...he...he is..."

Chu Quan didn't know that he was trembling violently. He looked at Guan Shuyi as if he was facing an evil spirit, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

"Remember?" Guan Shuyi sneered, "Don't you think it's a little late?"

The chill seeping from the bottom of his heart gradually filled his body.Chu Quan's teeth were chattering, he hugged his arms in the cold, and buried his head in them.The air in the room seemed to be draining rapidly, and he gasped as if dying.A hand with sharp nails pierced his chest, grasped his heart, and squeezed it hard, turning it into a blurred mass of flesh.

The irresistible past has surged, and they overlap with countless dreams, and then the god of fate gently wipes away the mist and dust, revealing its vivid true colors little by little.

Yes, it was obviously him, why didn't he remember it?When we met for the first time, Guan Qianyue asked, "Do you really not remember me?" After returning from the set, Guan Qianyue said that he had been looking for someone for many years, and that in the hospital, when Chu Quan mentioned that he When he followed his father to Los Angeles and saw his younger brother, Guan Qianyue asked him "Is there any more?"There were many opportunities and hints, but Chu Quan brushed past vague thoughts time and time again, and then extinguished Guan Qianyue's expectations little by little.

The figure that appeared in his dream parted the hazy mist like Moses parting the sea at this moment, revealing extremely familiar facial features.He smiled at Chu Quan. There was not much difference between ten years ago and ten years later. His eyes were still clear and his smile was still bright.He, they, leaned closer to him, and said pleasantly, "Hey, you have a mole on the corner of your mouth."

Chu Quan didn't know how long it took, but after he recovered from the biting cold and suffocating pain, Guan Shuyi had already left.

The afternoon sun was bright but not glaring, and the breeze made the asparagus on the window sill tremble slightly.The pale green curtains were billowing up and down in small, wave-like undulations.Chu Quan remembered that Guan Qianyue liked this kind of scene, he never liked to tie up the curtains neatly, just waiting for the gentle wind to blow him into various shapes.

Chu Quan felt that he was also like that piece of cloth that was not thick enough, and was anxious to pursue his style.

He called Guan Qianyue, the ring rang for a long time, and when he was about to hang up automatically, Guan Qianyue answered.

"Hello." His voice didn't sound as angry as when he left, but it was full of grievances and depression.

Chu Quan couldn't help lowering his voice softly, as if he was afraid to startle a bird: "Where are you?"

Guan Qianyue was silent for a while, then suddenly said angrily, "Didn't you say you won't interfere with my private life?"

Chu Quan cleared his throat and tried his best to sound calm: "It is Zhou Yang who is asking you."

Guan Qianyue's breathing disappeared for a moment, and then became heavier. He said hoarsely, "I hate this name."

Chu Quan smiled: "I never liked it either."

"Not for you."

"I know." Chu Quan's throat was choked, and he finally couldn't help crying: "Guan Qianyue, I'm sorry..."

"There's nothing I'm sorry about." Guan Qianyue covered his eyes with his hands and sniffed: "I love you, and I'm very happy."

Ten years ago, Chu Quan's mother fell ill, and Chu Hanlin returned to China to visit her.At that time, Chu Quan had very subtle feelings for his father. On the one hand, he resented him, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but want to get close to him.

When the father and son were alone, they always lowered their heads in silence, then looked at each other awkwardly, and turned away.

That day the doctor told Chu Quan that the patient could be discharged from the hospital. He wanted to inform Chu Hanlin. After searching for a long time, he finally found Chu Hanlin hiding in the stairwell and making a phone call.

He chatted with his son in a very affectionate and loving tone.Chu Quan eavesdropped for a long time, and it turned out that it was "Xiao Yuan" who wanted his father to come back quickly to attend his graduation ceremony.

Chu Quan did the most impulsive and daring thing in his life.He originally accepted his cousin's invitation to go to New York to play, but changed his mind temporarily and bought the same plane as Chu Hanlin to Los Angeles.

Wen Ruoting had just recovered from a serious illness. Although she was puzzled by his sudden advance of the travel plan, she didn't stop her.Chu Quan's grandparents came to take care of Wen Ruoting, and they were very supportive when they heard that Chu Quan was going to travel abroad: "It's good to go out and have fun. It's been hard to take care of my mother during this time. I'll call Ah Liang later."

"No need," Chu Quan said, "I'll contact my cousin myself."

He secretly followed behind Chu Hanlin, going around several times.When setting foot on a foreign land, the feeling of helplessness suddenly intensified.Especially when he saw a tall and thin boy throwing himself into Chu Hanlin's arms and happily calling "dad" at the airport, and when Chu Hanlin kissed his forehead, he was almost robbed of his reason by jealousy.

Chu Mingyuan doesn't look like Chu Hanlin, maybe he inherited more from that woman.Chu Quan held onto the strap of his backpack tightly and followed them to the subway. Because of the long delay in buying tickets, the two had disappeared when he looked up again.

Chu Quan was extremely helpless, his English was not very fluent, and he stumbled even more when he was nervous.Fortunately, he wrote down the name of the school while eavesdropping, and mustered up the courage to ask a kind-hearted aunt.The kind aunt told him the route and bought a ticket for him.Chu Quan carried his schoolbag in front of his body, feeling restless on the subway.The foreigners around looked at him more, and he immediately became vigilant like a rabbit with ears pricked up.

He sneaked into the campus with a few students and wandered around for a long time. He didn't see the shadow of the graduation ceremony, but found someone selling masks.

It was the first time for Chu Quan to go abroad, and he was still very curious when he saw new things. He stood a few steps away and secretly looked at them, wondering if they would wear this to the masquerade ball?The blonde girl noticed him, chattered a lot, and waved to Chuquan.Feeling embarrassed, Chu Quan bought a mask and held it in his hand. He took out several banknotes with different denominations and handed them to the other party. The girl took one and said to him with a smile, "you are socute."

Later, he wandered around the campus for a long time, seeing many people walking in one direction, so he followed the crowd.

It was a beautiful building, and boys and girls in suits and gift skirts filed in.Chu Quan looked down at the suit on his body - it was a gift from his mother during his coming-of-age ceremony, because he heard that Chu Mingyuan was going to attend the graduation ceremony, he put it on on purpose, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

He walked a few steps towards the auditorium, and suddenly found someone guarding the door. Obviously this was a very formal ball, and he didn't have a ticket.Chu Quan was holding the untimely mask in his hand, and was about to turn around and leave when he was bumped by someone and fell to the ground.

The culprit kept saying sorry, and a pair of knuckle-knuckle hands helped him up.Chu Quan raised his head, and saw a pair of extraordinarily clear and sincere black eyes, and a head of arrogant red hair.

The frequency of his heartbeat was chaotic, and he subconsciously spoke his mother tongue: "It's okay."

The other party was taken aback: "Chinese?"

Chu Quan nodded in surprise, feeling a sense of intimacy spontaneously.He wiped the dust off his body, and the red-haired guy picked up the mask and handed it to him, asking, "What grade are you in? I've never seen you."

"I'm not from this school." Chu Quan lied: "I'm here to find my friend, but he's not here, so I'm leaving first."

The redhead mentioned the name of another school. Chu Quan had never heard of it, but he still nodded and said that he had just transferred to a high school in the United States, so his English was not very good.

"Hey, Fred!" A pretty girl passing by greeted the redhead.The boy smiled, revealing two nice dimples.

Fred turned his head and met Chu Quan's sneaky gaze.He smiled narrowly and asked, "What's your name?"

Chu Quan let out an "uh". He was afraid that the other party knew Chu Mingyuan, so he hastily borrowed the old neighbor's name: "Zhou Yang."

"Zhou Yang?" Fred raised his brows slightly, as if he didn't believe it, but he didn't pursue it: "Can you be my dance partner tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Quan thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?"

"My dance partner is sick today." The guy said without any regrets, "I want to invite you to be my dance partner."

Chu Quan instinctively rejected the stranger's unreasonable request, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "I don't have an admission ticket."

The boy named Fred took out two small pieces of paper like magic and flashed them in front of Chu Quan.

"But..." Chu Quan tried his best to find an excuse, and said in a low voice, "I'm a man."

Fred suddenly smiled, showing some white teeth: "What's the matter!"

Later, Chu Quan couldn't remember how he followed Fred into the auditorium in a daze.After a while, many boys and girls came to talk and take pictures with Fred, and he took the opportunity to slip away and look for Chu Mingyuan everywhere.However, until the music started, he didn't see any suspicious figure.

The boys and girls around started embracing and dancing. Chu Quan was about to go back the same way when someone grabbed his wrist: "Why are you running around!"

The man's palms were as hot as his eyes, and his facial features looked extraordinarily deep under the flickering lights.

They danced tonight's firstdance.

Chu Quan hasn't danced for a long time.When he was young, Wen Ruoting dragged him to dance because she didn't want to dance with Chu Hanlin, but after too long, Chu Quan was a little rusty, stepped on Fred a few times, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry."

Fred didn't even frown: "It's okay."

The distance between them was very close, and Chu Quan wanted to distance himself a little, but he was afraid of appearing deliberate, so he tensed his body and danced stiffly.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter and whistles as those around noticed their special combination.

Fred pulled Chu Quan into his arms with force, Chu Quan's lips brushed against his ears, and both of them trembled slightly as if they had been electrocuted.

Chu Quan heard him say: "Heismyparter."

The foreigners around laughed again, and there was one who seemed to be Fred's classmate, who kept making fun of him.The man spoke so fast that Chu Quan only heard him call the red-haired "Guan".

Chu Quan thought, Fred's surname is Guan.

They danced a few more tunes later, and Chu Quan completely relaxed amidst the melodious music, forgetting that he was in a foreign land and the purpose of this trip.

He was a little distracted, and Fred suddenly lowered his head and moved closer to him, his slender eyelashes stand out.

Chu Quan held his breath, and his heartbeat echoed in his ears. Such a short distance made him look forward to and uneasy, and always felt that something would happen.

However, the red-haired boy looked at him tenderly, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, you have a mole on the corner of your mouth."

The tips of Chu Quan's ears turned red, as if this mole was his ugliest scar, and he gave an embarrassing "hmm".

"Can I kiss you?"

Chu Quan let go of the hand on the opponent's shoulder in surprise, and subconsciously looked around.

"Ah, sorry, I made a mistake." Fred scratched his head in regret and annoyance: "Don't you?"

It was not long before Chu Quan discovered his sexual orientation. Although he heard that foreign countries are very open, he was still panicked when faced with such a natural and straightforward courtship for the first time.

"No," Chu Quan stammered, unable to express himself clearly: "Yes, I am."

"Hahaha." Fred was amused by him, and seeing that his face was blushing, he pulled him towards the exit: "Let's go to another place."
