After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

On the weekend, the day of the Huaqu Awards.

At six or seven o'clock in the evening, the cold winter wind howled, and the end of the heavy red carpet was rolled up. The staff quickly flattened the edge, so as not to hinder the next guest from being tripped when walking on the red carpet fall.

Most female stars want to be beautiful without warmth, wearing tube top dresses, backless outfits, and deep V-necks to look concave on the red carpet, competing for beauty.Most of the male stars are wrapped tightly, and the high-quality suit fabrics are warm and windproof, so there is no need to worry about freezing.

There is only one exception.

In the surveillance room on the third floor, Duan Mingyang stood in front of the reflective glass window with his pockets in his pocket, looked down, and frowned slightly at the thin figure downstairs who was stopping to take pictures on the red carpet.

"Mr. Duan, the guests are almost here." The staff member came over and said, "Would you like to take a tour of the venue?"

"Wait." Duan Mingyang watched the man finish walking the red carpet, and his figure disappeared at the entrance of the guests before turning around.

"Let's go."

The annual Chinese Music Awards will be held as scheduled again, with the same venue and the same sponsors as last year.

The guests who participated in the previous award ceremony had some impressions of the name "Duan's". In addition, Duan Mingyang has frequently been on the trending searches these days. A few days ago, he even held hands with the popular actor Li Luoliu. Photos, popularity has escalated again, so almost all guests big and small at the scene have heard of him.

Duan Mingyang came down from the monitoring room with two plainclothes bodyguards, walked into the venue in a low-key manner, and inspected the arrangement of the ceremony.

However, several sharp-eyed celebrities still recognized him, stood up immediately, and respectfully and politely called "Mr. Duan Hello", and introduced themselves, obviously to make him familiar.

Duan Mingyang said "Hello" back to them, but that's all. After speaking, he walked forward without looking back, without stopping a step.The other party had no chance to talk to each other, they looked at each other for a few seconds, and could only retreat in the face of difficulties.

In the awards ceremony hall with more than 500 people, draw a straight line along the direction of Duan Mingyang's line of sight, and finally connect to a person.

When he was only three or four meters away from that person, the person didn't even notice it, and just cared about fighting and bickering with the people around him.

The thin light gold silk shirt on his body was baggy, reflecting the flowing lights, gorgeous and lazy, like a noble lion.The top two buttons were left unbuttoned, leaving the neckline wide open, and the two straight and protruding clavicles could be clearly seen.From the black choker around the neck swings a slender platinum chain with a ring pendant hanging from the end.

The long hair was tied into a short braid, and was tightly held by others.

He was obviously being bullied, but as if he was taking advantage of something, a smile overflowed in his amber eyes.

Duan Mingyang coughed lightly.

It was only when Li Luo discovered him that he turned his head and greeted him in a normal way: "Hi, I just wanted to find you."

Duan Mingyang's brows relaxed a little: "Really."

Li Luo smiled: "Fake, can you go back to the monitoring room? It affects my mood."

After speaking, she blinked at him quickly, as if to pass some kind of secret signal.

Duan Mingyang glanced at Jiang Liushen and Xia Xiai who were beside him, and replied, "You are also an eyesore."

Immediately afterwards, he turned slightly sideways and said to Xia Xiai: "Xia Xiai, I'm sorry about what happened last time."

Xia Xiai was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect him to apologize for the last Chinese Music Award, and was about to reply, but was blocked by Jiang Liushen.

"And then? Just apologize and let it go? You caused a psychological shadow on my children, how do you pay for it?"

Xia Xiai patted Jiang Liushen's back lightly, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense for me..."

Li Luo gave him an attitude of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, and mouthed to him: "It depends on you."

Duan Mingyang's eyes swept back and forth between the white neckline and the long hair hanging on the shoulders, then retracted his gaze, and asked lightly:

"Then how do you want to compensate the kid?"

Li Luo's smile froze.

"No, you don't need to pay..." Xia Xiai considered her words, "It's understandable for Mr. Duan to do that, I didn't blame you..."

"You are very understanding, thank you for your understanding." Duan Mingyang said, "I wish you something tonight."

After speaking, it was the same as when he came, and walked straight in front of them with the bodyguards, without nostalgia for half a second.

It seems that he vaguely perceives that there is a gaze that is always glued to his back.

After leaving the ceremony hall, he didn't go back to the monitoring room, but went to the lounge dedicated to the backstage staff.I gave some instructions to the bodyguards at the door, and one bodyguard turned back to the hall, while the other drove the irrelevant people inside to another lounge, and then retreated to the door, patrolling back and forth to ensure that no one else could enter .

After about 10 minutes, there was finally a knock on the door of the lounge.

"Please come in."

There was a crisp sound of pressing the doorknob.

"Aren't you going to see the awards ceremony?"

Su Zhi closed the door and walked in: "Your Mr. Li is chatting happily outside."

Duan Mingyang poured two cups of tea and pushed one cup over.

"not mine."

Su Zhi walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, took a sip of hot tea: "Really? But last time he called me and said that he would do anything for you. Treating you like a master, it's still called It's not yours?"

"Sometimes he just talks."

Duan Mingyang's eyes didn't know where to fall, he quietly held the teacup, but didn't drink it.

Su Zhi also looked at him quietly.

Time passed by one second, two seconds, three seconds...

"What else did he say?"

Su Zhi chuckled: "Why don't you ask yourself? Do you need me to match you two people who are in love with each other? Consider how I feel about being divorced."

Duan Mingyang shook his head: "Forget it, no matter what he said, right now, I can't get too close to him."

He took out a cowhide document bag and handed it to Su Zhi: "Your divorce procedures have been completed, and the lawyer has won the best interests for you. Take it and have a look."

Su Zhi's smile froze in an instant, and she slowly put down the teacup that was handed to her lips, took the document bag, looked at the big words "divorce property distribution" on the cover, and was slightly lost in thought.

"What's there to see... Even if I don't get half of the property, I don't care, I just hope he can pay for what he did."

Duan Mingyang: "Leave the rest to me, you don't need to participate anymore, otherwise Duan Xingye will really be against you."

Su Zhi: "I've endured for so many years just to wait for this opportunity, but you let me quit?"

Duan Mingyang: "I'm just worried that he won't miss the old relationship and ruin your reputation."

Su Zhise laughed: "Even if I lose my reputation, I will die with him. This is a matter between us, I will handle it myself."

She stood up with the document bag, straightened her fluffy and slightly curly hairstyle, raised her head slightly, straightened her back, and smiled: "If you don't go to the awards ceremony, I will. After all, this may be my last time." Going to the award ceremony."

Duan Mingyang said in a deep voice, "No way."

"Then I will accept your good words first, and see you another day."

There was a sound of closing the door, followed by the sound of Su Zhi's stilettos stepping on the hard floor tiles in the corridor, which was as clear and powerful as a stone hitting the ground.

However, at a certain moment, it stopped abruptly.

In the empty and quiet corridor, the smile on Su Zhi's face slowly faded, she was in a daze for a long time, and then sighed.

"Miss Su, what's the matter?"

Li Luo happened to bump into her and asked, "You guys are done discussing now? Didn't the three of us talk about the next countermeasures?"

Su Zhi picked up her smile again: "Mr. Li, good evening. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. And I don't think tonight is a good day to talk about serious business, nor is it a day for me to be a light bulb."

Li Luo smiled: "Miss Su is still understanding, Duan Mingyang doesn't understand romance at all."

Su Zhi: "Really? I think he is the most romantic person I have ever met."

Li Luo was surprised: "Has he done anything romantic?"

Su Zhi smiled shallowly for a while, her eyes fell on the document bag in her hand, and she suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, do you know why Duan Xingye came to pursue me back then?"

Li Luo thought for a while: "Do I want to use you to shape my own good husband personality?"

Su Zhi shook her head: "If that's all, he has a lot of candidates who are easier to get, why did he choose me? As we all know, I'm not that easy to chase, and I'm not that easy to control."

Li Luo: "That makes sense... Then I can't think of it, and I would like to hear more about it."

Su Zhi lowered her eyes, as if caught in some kind of memory: "He chased me because...he thought Ming Yang loved me."

Li Luo suddenly realized: "So he married you just to annoy Duan Mingyang? My God...it's really not a thing. But there is obviously no relationship between you and Duan Mingyang, isn't the 'former lover' just fabricated after marriage? He How could you have thought that before?"

Su Zhi raised her eyes: "Because he saw the photos in Ming Yang's wallet."

Li Luo was slightly stunned, and quickly turned a corner in his mind.

It turned out that when Duan Xingye told him about this before, he reversed the chronological order of the matter.

Instead of getting married first and then seeing the photos, she chose to marry Su Zhi after seeing the photos.

However, no matter which order, there is the same confusion:

Why did Duan Mingyang put the photo with Su Zhi in his wallet and carry it with him?

He simply didn't do anything, and asked directly.

Su Zhi didn't answer directly, but continued: "Since then, Duan Xingye has been pursuing me. Ming Yang also found out that his wallet was checked, and found me, explaining the reason for the photo."

Li Luo: "What reason?"

"He said that the photo was cut out in a hurry, without thinking so much, and stuffed it into the wallet compartment."

Su Zhi paused for half a second, looked at him, and said slowly:

"In order to block the other photo below, the photo of his real sweetheart."

Li Luo was originally standing idly, when he heard this, he clenched his hands in his pockets and immediately stood up straight.

"The person in that photo... is it me?"

Su Zhi shook her head: "I don't know who the person in the photo below is. Ming Yang has never shown me. All I know is that Ming Yang has had a hard time in Duan's house these years, and Duan Xingye has always wanted to catch him. His weakness."

"So he can't expose his weakness, he can only hide the thoughts in his heart where no one can see."

"But even though he knows that he needs to protect himself, and more importantly, the people he cares about, he still can't help but take the risk and carry this thought with him all the time."

"I think that a person as cautious as he would do such a bold thing is probably because that is his only thought."

"It is the last reason that supports him to go on."

Su Zhi smiled.

"Mr. Li, don't you think that such a lonely yearning and silent protection is the most romantic thing in the world?"
