Resignation

It's been half an hour since I finished eating.

Lu Wanshan waited for Zhuang Xici to finish drinking the water, then led him outside, the proprietress was sitting by the door chatting with the boss, seeing them coming out, she wanted to say hello to them.

"Where are you going so late?" said the proprietress, "It's cold at night, so wear more clothes when you go out, and be careful not to catch a cold."

"It's okay, keep your clothes warm." Lu Wanshan smiled, "Take him to the pavilion to have a look."

The proprietress glanced at Zhuang Xici who was standing behind Lu Wanshan, thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine, I'll leave the door open for you."

Zhuang Xici didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing the smile on Lu Wanshan's face, Zhuang Xici paused for a moment, then laughed too, his pretty eyes curved into crescent moons.

Lu Wanshan originally just exchanged pleasantries with the proprietress, but now that he has finished talking, he has to leave naturally.It's just that Lu Wanshan didn't expect the proprietress to laugh suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Wanshan wondered.

"Your friend is so pretty." The proprietress pointed to Zhuang Xici behind him, "When you smile, your eyes are like the moon in the sky, so beautiful."

Although Lu Wanshan occasionally thinks that Zhuang Xici is beautiful, it is obviously not appropriate to describe a man's appearance as beautiful. Lu Wanshan was afraid that Zhuang Xici would not be happy, so he was about to explain a few words when he heard Zhuang Xici's voice Passed from behind.

"Thank you," Zhuang Xici said with a smile, "You are beautiful too."

The proprietress was amused by Zhuang Xici, she leaned on the boss and laughed non-stop, watching Zhuang Xici became more and more puzzled.

"Don't think too much." Lu Wanshan explained to Zhuang Xici, "She is just too happy."

Zhuang Xici nodded, looked back at Lu Wanshan, and asked him, "When are we going to the place you mentioned?"

Lu Wanshan took out his mobile phone to check the time, thought it was just right, so he didn't stay here any longer, greeted the proprietress, and took Zhuang Xici to another alley.

"This is an old building, and the inside is very complicated." Lu Wanshan said softly, "I only remember the way after coming here several times."

Zhuang Xici responded lightly, "Come here often?"

"There used to be more people here," Lu Wanshan looked at Zhuang Xici jokingly, "I guess it won't work in the future."

"Ah?" Zhuang Xici didn't quite understand.

"I don't have time," Lu Wanshan joked, "The big star I'm following is too busy, I have to run around with him, so I don't have time to come here."

But Zhuang Xici was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that Lu Wanshan really minded, "I can give you a holiday, then..."

"Stupid or not?" Lu Wanshan said helplessly, "Didn't you hear that I was teasing you?"

Zhuang Xici remained silent.

The alley was very deep, and it was past nine o'clock at this moment. Most of the people living here had already rested, so the two of them could only rely on street lamps for illumination.

Most of the rare people who didn't rest sat in their yards and chatted, and laughter came from inside from time to time, which made everyone who heard it feel better.

Lu Wanshan squinted at Zhuang Xici, whose mouth was upturned, and asked him, "Very happy?"

Zhuang Xici nodded, "Yes," he pointed to the surrounding houses, and said with a smile, "Living here is very comfortable."

"It's very comfortable." Lu Wanshan changed the adjective, "If it's summer, you can see old people sitting in the alley talking about their daily life." Lu Wanshan smiled, "There is still the smell of freshly cut watermelon in the air Son."

Yearning flashed in Zhuang Xici's eyes, "I think it will be summer soon."

"No hurry." Lu Wanshan promised, "I will bring you to play next summer."

Lu Wanshan mentioned the place where he ate skewers just now, "It's actually a homestay, but the business is not very good, the boss is gradually only doing food business."

"However, I came early, and there are exclusive rooms upstairs all these years." Lu Wanshan smiled, "I will introduce it to you when I go back."

"Okay." Zhuang Xici asked curiously when he saw that he was going to the exit immediately, "Where is this going?"

Lu Wanshan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you go out."

Zhuang Xici took a look at Lu Wanshan, and began to guess what this place looked like in his heart, thinking that it was similar to the place at the beginning, and it might be a place with a good scenery.

It was only when Zhuang Xici followed Lu Wanshan out of the alley to the spacious ground in front that Zhuang Xici realized how far his guess was from the truth.

Unlike the previous barbecue restaurant which was by the lake, this time Lu Wanshan brought Zhuang Xici to a purely open space, and the only conspicuous building on this open space was an unrecognizable theater stage built in the middle.

At this time, there are still people singing operas on the top, and there are a few old people sitting here and there listening to it.

Although there are few people, the actors still sing seriously.

Seeing that Zhuang Xici was dumbfounded, Lu Wanshan took a step towards him, smiled and said, "Doesn't it sound good?"

The actors on the stage wore very simple costumes and had to rely on the street lamps to illuminate them, but the opera words they sang were full of flavor, no less than those of people in serious theater troupes.

Zhuang Xici thought that Lu Wanshan brought him here because he liked to listen, so he asked instead, "Do you like to listen to this?"

"It's very nice." Lu Wanshan hummed along, "My parents loved listening to it when I was young, so I often went along with it."

What is being sung on the stage is the Peking Opera "Suo Lin Nang".

Lu Wanshan wanted to tell Zhuang Xici to go forward, so that he could hear more clearly, but before Lu Wanshan could make a sound, he was attracted by the movement next to him.

Zhuang Xici was singing along with the actors on stage.

Probably because Lu Wanshan's eyes were too hot, after a while Zhuang Xici turned his head to look at him, "Huh?"

"Can you sing?"

"A little bit." Zhuang Xici said, "I went to college to study for a while."

Zhuang Xici smiled at Lu Wanshan, "Shall I sing a section for Teacher Lu?"

"Okay." Lu Wanshan also smiled, "Which part?"

"On stage."

Zhuang Xici completely took off the mask and stuffed it into his pocket, then made a movement similar to the actors on the stage but with many standards, and then sang with his voice.

He sang "The Great Reunion".

The drums on the front stage were not loud, just covering Zhuang Xici's voice. As for Lu Wanshan who was standing next to Zhuang Xici, he could hear Zhuang Xici's singing clearly.

Lu Wanshan originally thought that Zhuang Xici would be a bit cautious. After all, although he had learned it, it was only in college. Now that he has graduated a few years ago, he may have almost forgotten it.

But to Lu Wanshan's surprise, Zhuang Xici at this moment is the same as Zhuang Xici in acting, he is very confident and dazzling, making it difficult for people to ignore him.

The reason why Lu Wanshan chose to bring Zhuang Xici here is actually to ask Zhuang Xici to come here to listen to other people's opera, so that Zhuang Xici can relax for a while.

But how did Lu Wanshan think that Zhuang Xici could sing, and that he could sing better than the actors he had heard for several years. Such a comparison would make it meaningless for him to bring Zhuang Xici here.

After the sound of the last word fell, Zhuang Xici changed into the previous appearance, and asked Lu Wanshan with a smile, "How is it?"

"Very good." Lu Wanshan stretched out her thumb to Zhuang Xici, and said helplessly, "I used to think they sang well, but after listening to yours today, I probably can't stand listening to them."

"Like what I sang?" Zhuang Xici's eyes brightened.

"Yeah," Lu Wanshan said with a smile, "it sounds good."

Zhuang Xici also smiled, "Call me if you want to hear it later, and I'll sing it for you."

Lu Wanshan was taken aback for a moment, savoring the intimacy in this sentence, but he smiled but did not remind Zhuang Xici, and only responded softly, "En."

The actors on the stage were still singing, but Lu Wanshan lost interest in listening, so he rolled his eyes at Zhuang Xici and asked him, "Do you still want to listen?"

Zhuang Xici shook his head, "General."

"Then let's go back." Lu Wanshan laughed, "If I had known you could sing, I wouldn't have brought you here."

"That's still coming." Zhuang Xici added.

"?"

Zhuang Xici looked at the lantern hanging at the door not far away, smiled and said, "It's different."

As for the difference, Zhuang Xici refused to explain.But he refused to say anything, Lu Wanshan didn't ask further, Xiaoxiao wanted to change the topic, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a series of phone ringing.

The caller was Han Wang.

"The busy man finally answered the phone." Han Wang hurt Lu Wanshan, "I thought I had to call a few more times."

"..." Lu Wanshan didn't want to play such a boring game with Han Wang, "I'm dead."

"Don't! I need to find you!"

Lu Wanshan pointed the way for Zhuang Xici before saying, "What's the matter?"

"Ruan Xian and I are going to visit the set for you." Han Wang said, "You have been working for a long time, and the rest of the crew more or less have people visiting the set, but you don't, it's strange to be lonely."

"...Thank you," Lu Wanshan smiled, "It's really unnecessary."

"Why are you being polite to my brother?" Han Wang smiled, "Then come over in two days, and you will pick us up?" Han Wang paused, "It happens that we haven't met for a while, so we can go out for dinner this time. meal."

"Han Wang, I'm here to work for others, I'm not here to film," Lu Wanshan was speechless, "What do you pay attention to whether you visit the set or not."

"Father Lu, it's your fault. My brother wants to see you, why do you refuse?" Han Wang reasoned with Lu Wanshan.

Zhuang Xici, who was walking next to Lu Wanshan, heard the words, hesitated for a moment and said, "If a friend wants to come over, I can ask Qin Yao to pick him up."

Lu Wanshan looked at Zhuang Xici in surprise, but still shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."

"Who are you talking to?" Han Wang wondered.

Lu Wanshan directly ignored Han Wang's question, and said with a sigh, "I know why you came here, but like I said, this matter is over and it's not important anymore."

"But……"

"Don't you still believe me?" Lu Wanshan asked back.

Zhuang Xici lowered his head, pretending to be looking at the road seriously, but in fact all his attention was on Lu Wanshan next to him.He was eavesdropping on his phone call, wondering why Lu Wanshan changed his tone directly.

But the person on the other end of the phone was persuaded by Lu Wanshan and didn't look any further.

Listening to the silence on the phone, Lu Wanshan knew that what he said had an effect, so she didn't say anything else.And a few seconds later, Lu Wanshan also heard the answer he wanted to hear just as he thought.

After hanging up on Han Wang's phone, Lu Wanshan remembered that he was busy making phone calls just now and left Zhuang Xi in the cold, so he hesitated for a while, and chose to take the initiative to explain to him, "It was my friend who called me just now."

"what?"

"It's called Han Wang," Lu Wanshan said, "I also photograph celebrities, but I'm busy with work, so I seldom do activities together."

Zhuang Xici nodded subconsciously, and then realized that Lu Wanshan was introducing his friend to him.

Lu Wanshan was amused by Zhuang Xici who was in a daze, and the little boredom brought by Han Wang's phone call would disappear completely.

He pursed his lips and smiled, and said with a smile, "When I meet you next time, I will introduce you to each other. He must also like you very much."

Zhuang Xici's heart was touched by what Lu Wanshan said, and his heart beat a little fast for a while.He touched his hot earlobe, thought for a while and still couldn't help asking, "Then do you like it?"

"Me?" Lu Wanshan reacted for a while before understanding the meaning of Zhuang Xi's words, "I must like it."

Now Zhuang Xici stopped talking, just lowered his head and walked faster, for fear of being chased by Lu Wanshan.Because as long as Lu Wanshan walked beside him, he would definitely find his face flushed.
