Chapter 34 Road King

Bravery is a false proposition.

It is brave to cry when you want to cry, but it is also brave to hold back when you want to cry.

For Xia Shao, bravery is to do it knowing that you may regret it, and to tell yourself "I like someone of the same gender as me" openly, and to recognize the path from then on.Similarly, there are many ways for people to express their love, including passionate and straightforward, as well as subtle and silent.

Xia Shao thinks it is somewhere in between.

He is a swinging clock that does not know when to wake the sleeping one.

At the turn of November into December, it rained heavily in the city.

Xia Shao attended the Wuhan Auto Show and was invited by a luxury brand manufacturer to attend the new car launch event at the booth.Although Xia Shao only needs to introduce himself in the past, applaud, and forward a Weibo post, he still carefully read the brand story and the technological innovation of the new product the night before departure.

The PDF file sent by the manufacturer was [-] pages long. Xia Shao imported it on the iPad and highlighted the key points sentence by sentence with a pen.

He got up at seven o'clock in the morning, and flew there in Shuangliu the day before.

Before Xiao Peng came, he bought two sets of steamed dumplings downstairs in the rental house. The two of them just sat face to face in the nanny's car and ate while shaking. At the end of the meal, Xia Shao himself laughed.

"My face is covered in chili pepper!" Xiao Peng pulled a tissue and handed it over, "Oh, but you really dipped in chili oil when you eat dumplings in the south."

"Without chili oil, there is no soul." Xia Shao was very happy to eat.No one has brought him breakfast except his family.

"We dip it in soy sauce and sesame oil in the north... It's so big, so fragrant, so delicious, you can't finish it in one bite," Xiao Peng gestured, and then picked up a crystal steamed dumpling with chopsticks. It's like pinching it with your hands, and it's gone in one bite."

"Are you going home for the Chinese New Year?" Xia Shaozhen tried not to chew, picked one up and threw it into his mouth, unexpectedly feeling refreshed.

"Of course I want to go back," Xiao Peng smiled at him, "but didn't you have a lot of activities during the Chinese New Year? I won't go back, I have to do my job well."

"Well, my family originally wanted me to go to Beijing for the New Year," Xia Shao said, "but I guess the Spring Festival is busy, so I can't go anywhere."

Speaking of going home, Xiao Peng didn't enjoy eating so much. He poked some small holes in the steamed dumplings with chopsticks and looked up at Xia Shao.Xia Shaoan quietly leaned against the car door with a disposable lunch box, turned his face to the side and looked out the window.

"It's better when you are studying, and you can go home as soon as the winter vacation is over." Xiao Peng continued.

After Xia Shao ate the last dumpling, he winked at him: "Yes."

"Are you going to celebrate the New Year with your uncles and aunts in Chengdu?" Xiao Peng also finished eating the dumplings.

"..." Hearing this, Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, but Xia Shao didn't say much, and rubbed the bottom of the clean lunch box with his chopsticks.After a while, he nodded dully, then looked down at the lunch box again.

My parents are still alive and have no place to celebrate the New Year, so what about Jiang Langting?

Occasionally, Xia Shao would think about the "both parents died" that He Qing said when he first talked about Jiang Langting with him.During the period of acquaintance, Jiang Langting rarely mentioned his younger brother who hardly showed his face.

Xia Shao asked suddenly: "Xiao Peng, when does it usually snow in your north?"

"December, sometimes when the weather is very cold, it will start to snow in November. Has it ever rained in Chengdu?" Xiao Peng replied.

"Down, but it's very small." After Xia Shao finished speaking, he felt that there might be hope for this year.

However, generally the coldest time in the south is around the Spring Festival, probably in January and February, which is nearly two months from now.Is it too early to prepare gifts now?

But what if it suddenly snows one day...

Then Jiang Langting will be 26.

If it doesn't snow this year, give it to him as a New Year's gift.

Xia Shao's eyes flashed with a smile that changed from shallow to deep.

A few hours later, the plane landed in Wuhan.

The blue sky, which is rare in winter in the south, is the background, the sun is dazzling, the clouds are like rubbing cotton, and there are continuous flights queuing up above the airport.Xia burned down the gangway and took a picture of a sunny day in winter with his mobile phone.

Clicking into the circle of friends, he sent a photo and three words: In Hubei.

Only Jiang Langting can see his circle of friends.

Originally, he didn't post much to Moments, but he wanted to post it to a certain person.Now that it's been a long time, Xia Shao is not afraid that Jiang Langting will find out, what he wants is for the other party to understand.

When the special car arrived at the hotel, Jiang Langting swiped to Xia Shao's circle of friends and clicked a like.

"Brother Xia, you live in 1702, I live in 812, you can call me if you need anything, and then..." Xiao Peng said while handing Xia Shao his room card.Through the mirror in the elevator room, Xiao Peng noticed that Xia Shao had been looking at his mobile phone, as if he hadn't heard him speak, so he reminded again: "Brother Xia?"

"Ah," Xia Shao turned off the phone, took the room card given by Xiao Peng, and scanned Xiao Peng from head to toe, "Do you have 182?"

"..." Xiao Peng didn't know what he was thinking, and repeated: "Brother Xia, I live in room 812, and you live in room 1702."

"Ok."

Xia Shao smiled embarrassedly.

During the whole afternoon in Wuhan, Xia Shao slept first, then got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.In the end, he wanted to read a book in bed for a while, but he was still so sleepy that he fell asleep until six o'clock the next morning.

The event started at ten o'clock. To be on the safe side, the manufacturer sent someone to pick it up at nine o'clock.Xia Shao got up at [-]:[-], and was stuck in the hotel room by the makeup artist arranged for more than an hour before he sprayed his hair with a layer of hairspray thicker than the mask.

Today is Saturday, and last night was a good time for nightclub business, Xia Shao thought that Jiang Langting should be very busy last night.

While the stylist was blowing his collar that was accidentally wet with lotion with the hair dryer, he went into the bathroom and took a picture of his photogenic makeup in the mirror.Xia Shao's makeup is not heavy, but he needs to wear some foundation for offline activities. He always feels that today he looks smaller than usual.

He sent the photo to Jiang Langting.

——Look like this today!

He wanted the other party to receive information about him before anyone else.

After locking the phone, Xia Shao continued to tidy up contentedly, and went to the auto show venue after tidying up.

The venue of the auto show is very large, but there is no special passage for entertainers, so the manufacturer has no choice but to invite security personnel to open the way.Because it is an auto show, for the convenience of product transportation, vehicles can directly enter the venue, and Xia Shao went directly to the rear of the brand booth after getting off the car.

There were quite a few people who came to see him, most of them were girls, and he also saw a few familiar faces in the media seats.

After saying hello with a slight smile, Xia Shao took a sip of warm water prepared by Xiao Peng before going on stage, and cleared his throat.

There were a lot of melon-eaters who came to watch, and they all crowded outside the booth fence, holding up their mobile phones to take videos, and the flashlight was not turned off, which dazzled Xia Shao, and he could only turn his face to avoid the dazzling light.

The hostess wore a formal dress and stood in front of the newly released vehicles on the platform, and said something with the inscription card, Xia Shao also listened attentively.

Xia Shao handed over Xiao Peng's mobile phone during the event for safekeeping.

Xiao Peng was about to ask him if he still drank water, when he suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket, and he didn't pay much attention to it as an ordinary message, but the vibration kept going, so he remembered that WeChat has a "strong reminder" function, and his heart ached. Thinking it should be a very important person, he quickly took out his phone: "Brother Xia, I have news on your WeChat."

"Stop looking at your phone during work. Hmm..."

Xia Shao stared straight ahead, tilted his head slightly towards Xiao Peng, and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"Ah, let me see," Xiao Peng looked down at the screen, "Jiang, Jiang Er. The one who called you last time."

Xiao Peng obviously noticed that Xia Shao was stunned.

Xiao Peng immediately became nervous.

Afterwards, Xia Shao touched his chin, and the silver ring on his little finger reflected the quiet blue light of the spotlights in the background.He coughed uncomfortably and said, "What happened to him? Take a look."

Xiao Peng narrowed his eyes and looked down at the words on the screen: "He said good morning."

"Oh..." Jiang Langting should have been busy since he got off the night shift, and it's already past ten o'clock.

Xia Shao saw that the staff hadn't come to remind him that he was about to play, so he covered his mouth with his hands and said to Xiao Peng, "You should return to him early. Remember to use the exclamation point."

"Ah?" Brother Xia doesn't seem to use exclamation marks very often, and he only replies with "1" every day in the company group to indicate that he has received it.

The phone vibrated again, making Xiao Peng tremble, and said, "He said, when are you coming back?"

"Say I'll be back tonight."

Xia Shao covered his mouth and spoke, looking very vigilantly at the people standing close to him, "...remember to use the exclamation mark."

Xiao Peng: "Huh? Brother Xia, we have a return ticket for the night after tomorrow... Didn't you say you want to spend two more days in Wuhan to relax..."

Shaking his head, Xia Shao said: "Just answer him like this, say tonight."

"He said, said," Xiao Peng turned down the light on the screen to the lowest level, leaned over and whispered next to Xia Shao, "Then...then make an appointment for a mountain run tomorrow?"

"Okay," Xia Shao quickly pinched his mouth into a duck, with his eyes slender and happy, "remember the exclamation point."

After Xiao Peng finished replying, the staff also came to urge Xia Shao to come on stage 3 minutes later.

Putting Xia Shao's mobile phone in his pocket, Xiao Peng asked, "Brother Xia, did I change my subscription?"

"Well, let's change it."

Xia Shao came to the stage after answering.

Today the manufacturer is promoting an electric sports car worth nearly a million dollars. Xia Shao leaned against the booth just like the car and chatted with the hostess one after another.

They first turned off all the lights at the booth, and turned to the big screen to watch the promotional video of the new product launch.

But during the 5 minutes of the set, Xia Shao was distracted while watching the whole process.

He didn't realize that the corners of his lips were always curved.

After watching the promotional video, the hostess laughed and teased him: "What's wrong today? We Xia Shao have been in a good mood since we came on stage. Do you have any happy things to share with you?"

Whether he is high or not is obvious at a glance.

Xia Shao thought regretfully that he shouldn't have checked WeChat on his phone before such a formal event.

Hahahahaha!

I couldn't be happier.

"Is there?" Xia Shao smiled, and his narrow lips were lightly drawn into a line, "Probably because the weather is very good today."

"That's right, the sun is very good in Wuhan today, and it was also yesterday." The hostess looked at the process card in her hand, and invited Xia Shao to take an official comfort performance test in front of the car.

This time he didn't dare to be distracted, he devoted himself to doing it, and when he was done, he thought about it again, and secretly regretted why he was so easy to drift.If you want to work, work hard, thinking about what men do all day long.

Perhaps this is the feeling of drinking water.

Having denied himself and made excuses for himself, Xia Shao couldn't help but want to laugh at himself, so he quickly covered his mouth and pretended to cough to fool the sudden laughter.

After going on stage, Xia Shao's stomach was almost flattened by hunger.

When he got off the booth, he was walking out of the venue surrounded by a group of security guards.The manufacturer called and explained that because the flow of people was too large and there were too many citizens visiting the exhibition, the car could not drive in during this time period, so he had to trouble him to go out by himself.

Just as he was about to go out, Xia Shao suddenly found a small booth next to the brand booth where he had just finished the event.

It's a Harley-Davidson.

Because it is an auto show, motorcycle manufacturers seldom go to join in the fun, and basically come here to get familiar with the performance.

The two little girls on the sales desk saw a large group of people following Xia Shao's gaze and stood up from the stool quickly, putting their hands in front of them.

Xia Shao didn't look at the lonely Harley motorcycle on the booth, but looked at the extremely clean glass showcase inside the booth.

There's an extremely detailed model of a Harley in there.

Seeing Xia Shao approaching, the saleswoman greeted her and said, "Anchor Xia, this is our Harley Davidson Road King 110th Anniversary Special Edition Limited Edition model. Except that it cannot run, everything else is exactly the same as the real car. It is a special model for our Winter Auto Show in 2019. On it. You can see that the front calipers and rear suspension are very well done..."

"Thank you, I'll take a look." Xia Shao smiled, and fixed his eyes on the words under the model - RoadKing.

He looked at it for a while and whispered, "Hi, I want to buy it."

After Xiao Peng changed his ticket, the two of them went back to the hotel to collect their luggage as soon as they finished their activities, and prepared to rush to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Xiao Peng took several business photos of Xia Shao.Every picture of Xia Shao looks smiling, the tip of his nose is red from the cold, and he is holding an iced cola bought by KFC on the side of the road.

"Brother Xia, are you really not afraid of stomach pain?" Xiao Peng took pictures of him while enjoying himself.

Xia Shao nodded, changed his posture, and imitated the emoticons: "Even if you freeze to death in the ice and snow, you still have to drink Coke if it's not iced!"

"Hey, wait a minute," Xia Shao said seeing that Xiao Peng was about to turn off the camera, "take a picture of clasped hands for me."

After he finished speaking, he looked out of the window and put his palms together.

Xiao Peng took a snapshot of the moment when he closed his eyes, and Xia Shao thought it was quite interesting.He saw that Xiao Peng edited the picture very "sloppily" and then passed it on to him. After that, Xia Shao directly posted on Weibo and posted the photo.
