Qiao Yaying saw through the floor-to-ceiling glass that Paradise got off the passenger side of a car, and then the "driver" also got out of the car, said a few words to him with one arm on the roof of the car, and then waved and drove away.

Paradise stood on the side of the road and looked around, but didn't think any store looked like a bar.Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone to contact Qiao Yaying, he saw her standing in the convenience store directly in front of her and waving at him.

"Didn't you say you want to drink?" Paradise went in and walked to her side, leaning on the table with arms bent.

Qiao Yaying smacked her mouth, put down the beer, pushed the unopened can to him, and raised her chin: "What's the matter, the wine in the convenience store is not wine?"

Paradise smiled, pulled the tab, and took a sip.

Qiao Yaying shook her head and sighed: "I don't want to drink beer here either, but I have to go to work tomorrow, so how can I really drink it." As she spoke, she turned her back, leaned her forearm on the side of the table, and glanced at Paradise, " You are free, someone sent you here so late, is there something wrong?"

Yuan Yuan looked at her, with a gossiping expression on her face that she didn't even bother to hide.Ever since I met her in Hong Kong a few months ago, and she has said everything she can and cannot say, she seems to regard him as a "gay honey" and has to care about his love life every now and then.

"Nothing, that's the director of my play."

Qiao Yaying pressed her mouth against the rim of the beer can, and muttered softly: "Then your director treats you so well, or does he treat the whole crew like this——everyone has something to drive there? It's so considerate."

Paradise was too lazy to talk to her, and turned the topic to her: "What about you? You don't drink with your boyfriend, you have to call me? Aren't you afraid that he will misunderstand?" Turning to face her, "To be honest, I'm with you You are not very familiar with it, and it will damage my image if you don't know clearly."

Qiao Yaying laughed: "You still have an image? May I ask how many people in Hong Kong know you?"

Paradise refused to admit defeat: "A few days ago when I went to the supermarket, someone asked me for an autograph." After a pause, "Although they are tourists from mainland China."

Qiao Yaying laughed when she heard the words, poured the last sip of wine foam into her mouth, and exhaled slowly: "I quarreled with him, otherwise I wouldn't have the time to find you for a drink."

Paradise didn't respond, just listened.

"Their family knew about my affair with him, and they were very dissatisfied with me, forcing him to break up with me." She turned to look out of the window again, not knowing whether she was looking at the deserted street outside or herself reflected in the glass, "Of course he doesn't Yes, but he couldn’t convince his family, so he was stuck in the middle. Then I suggested that we leave Hong Kong and live in another city, and they would not be able to interfere any more.”

She casually picked up the beer can in front of her, and found that it was empty, then pointed to Paradise and asked, "Do you still drink?"

Seeing Paradise made a "please" gesture, she raised her head and took a big gulp.Rubbing the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, he frowned and asked, "Where did you talk?"

"Change city life."

"Oh yes, live in another city. Not in Beijing or Hong Kong, then neither his parents nor mine can control us." She closed her eyes and opened them again, raising and lowering her right hand, "But he doesn't Yes, but also angry. Said that I am so unfilial, why his parents are old, and he is the only child, so what and so on..."

Suddenly silence fell, Qiao Yaying sighed, and said softly: "But who is it? My parents are getting old, and I am also an only child. But there is no other way right now, what else can I do? Besides that, wouldn't there be a breakup?"

Realizing that she was incoherent, she stopped abruptly.Putting his hands on his neck, he lowered his head slowly, his long hair hanging down on the table, and kept this posture motionless.

Paradise didn't bother her, so she calmed down.After a moment of silence, Qiao Yaying pushed her hair back with both hands, revealing her blushing face, raised her head to look at Paradise and smiled: "Forget it, I shouldn't have told you this."

The two stood side by side in front of the table, watching the two figures floating in the black night on the glass, and each drank the beer in one gulp.

Qiao Yaying took a deep breath, and seemed to think of something: "By the way, Zheng Yinan is getting married. Do you remember him? He was the sports committee member of our class before the division of arts and sciences."

Paradise nodded: "Well, I played basketball with him several times at that time, and I couldn't even touch the ball with him a few times. Is he going to get married?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be the first one in our class." Glancing at Paradise, "He really hopes you can attend his wedding," Qiao Yaying said with a smile, "His wife is you fan, but he told his wife that he knew you, and she wouldn’t believe it.” Qiao Yaying found out the chat records with Zheng Yinan, and put the phone in front of him, “You are going, his wife must be very happy He will be happy when his wife is happy."

"When?"

"Just the first of next month, next Saturday, do you have time?"

Paradise almost blurted out "no problem", but just a second before opening his mouth, he suddenly realized that Qi Yan and them were classmates, and they probably would go.So the words came to the lips and changed: "I'm not sure, go back and ask my manager..."

Qiao Yaying nodded, and muttered, "You just finished filming a movie, you should be quite free recently."

Paradise murmured a vague "hmm": "It should be... I have to confirm..." Without looking at her, she lowered her head slightly, picking and picking with her fingers, obviously in a state of entanglement.

Qiao Yaying stared at him for a while, figured it out, and said nonchalantly: "Qi swears that he can't go, he should be scheduled for the wedding day."

Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he couldn't tell if he was disappointed or heaved a sigh of relief: "Why tell me this, it doesn't matter to me whether he goes or not."

His tone was urgent and rushed, and he looked guilty at all.

Qiao Yaying suppressed her smile, and said in a calm tone: "What are you in a hurry for? I know you are fine. What I mean is, if you can go, prepare a gift for him. After all, everyone thinks you are brothers."

"Oh..." Paradise only felt that his ears were hot and itchy.He also thought that the air conditioner in the convenience store was not turned on enough, and he just wanted to go back to the hotel to cool off, so he said to Qiao Yaying, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."
