Actor, is it a joke?

Lead gray clouds gathered quietly, covering the city lowly. The air flow seemed to be stagnant, and even a leaf on the sycamore tree was unable to lift it.

It's going to rain.

The weather forecast is wrong and wrong, and there will always be a day of accuracy.

Xu Chengdu got out of the car, twisted his stiff neck, and let out a long groan of aggrieved bones from the bones that had suffered for more than two hours in the narrow seat.

The rain began to drip down, as if suffering from incessant urination all year round.

Putting on a thin coat, buttoning his hat, and looking up at the white building standing on the top of the mountain, Xu Chengdu put his hands in his pockets and walked up the stairs in silence.

He hasn't been here for many years, and to be precise, he only came here ten years ago.After that, he left the city.

That year, the city was somewhat of a sad place.

When he came back, he couldn't even remember clearly, what was the number of that small cabinet?He has been uneasy all the way because of this, and has been repeatedly guessing whether the middle of the number is 6 or 8, or neither, but another poor number that he ignores.

However, when his face was reflected on the spotless bright glass of the small window again, Xu Chengdu suddenly understood one thing. There are some trivial things that you think you have forgotten, but you can always see them clearly when you are there. And jump right out.

For example, he obviously felt that he had forgotten Baige, but he could still remember the other person's small gestures when they kissed.

The face on the glass was no longer the tearful, hostile teenager. It looked much calmer, more mature, calm and resolute, at least it looked like an adult.Even for an excellent adult, life endows it with a hidden shrewdness, and puts a perfect mask on it.

At this moment, a rare crack appeared in this mask, and in the crack, nostalgia and sadness came out.

"I'm here to see you." Xu Chengdu lightly rubbed the edge of the small window with his fingertips, "Old man."

There is a photo in the small grid.In the photo is a family of three, with a dignified old man sitting in the middle, and his handsome son and heroic daughter-in-law standing on both sides. All three are dressed in military uniforms, unsmiling, and awe-inspiring.

"It's all right now, the entire family is a soldier. We can play mahjong together." Xu Chengdu twitched the corners of his mouth, and quickly collapsed after not being able to hold on for two seconds. Troops, I'm sorry."

Just after apologizing, the sophistry instinct came up again, "But it's better to be a soldier than a gangster, don't you think?"

If it was before, the old man would be blowing his beard and staring with anger, and he would have swung his cane up, but now, no matter how poor he is, he can only do this and watch.

Xu Chengdu was still a little unaccustomed to this change, he looked away a little, not daring to look into the sharp eyes of the old man, "Okay, I know you blame me, don't be angry when you go down, your nose is crooked. "

"How are your parents doing? Are you happy to see your son? Is your son more obedient than your grandson? Humph, old man, I knew you were biased."

As he was talking, Xu Chengdu sat down. The smooth tiles were a bit cold, and his buttocks were a little stiff from the ice. He rested his chin on his knees and stared blankly for a while.

"Old man, do you remember Baige? The one who came to our house every day in high school? The one you said he was as beautiful as a doll..."

"I ran into him again the day before yesterday."

"Then what, I think, I have to confess something to you, you are not allowed to beat me."

After a long pause, he tugged at his cuffs, "You may not be able to hold your great-grandson."

After a long pause, he sniffed, "I'm afraid you don't understand what I mean, let me explain to you, it's just... I don't like women. You are an old feudalist, you might think I'm sick..."

Speaking of this, there was a sudden silence.

Xu Chengdu hugged his knees, and suddenly thought of the crazy kiss the day before yesterday, and his heart started beating in a messy way again.

He thought to himself: Yes, is he sick?The disease has a name and a surname, and the surname is Bai Mingge.

After muttering and lingering for a long time, Xu Chengdu stood up, just in time to hear the family next to him talking about the rent increase of the memorial hall, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid the storage rent for ten years!Parents live in the Hall of Martyrs, and the rent is covered by the state, but the old man is different!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and went to look for the manager.

The result was unexpected. The steward said that Mr. Xu's columbarium had paid the rent on time every year.

Xu Chengdu was puzzled, he was the only one left in their family, could it be that they have other relatives?

"Can you tell me who it is?"

The manager is a young girl who blushed when she was asked, "Now payment is made by scanning a QR code, downloading an app, and paying directly online every year. We only have the phone numbers left by the family members here."

"Then...can you show me the number?" Xu Chengdu brushed his hair soaked in light rain, moved his chair, and leaned over to ask.

The little girl's face turned even redder, and she was almost at a loss, "Are you from the old Xu's family? I... I'll take a look for you."

Xu Chengdu took out his mobile phone and entered the phone number he just got, but the phone contacts showed that there was no such person, so he pressed the call button without hesitation.

No matter who it is, he kindly helped him pay the rent for ten years, so he has to say thank you no matter what.

The reminder sounded for a long time, so long that it exceeded the limit of Xu Chengdu's patience, and when he finally wanted to cut it off, he accidentally connected it.

"Hello? Hello, I am a relative of Xu Shaoliang." Afraid that others would hang up, Xu Chengdu spoke first, "Are you my grandfather's old friend?"

The other party was silent for a long time.

The shallow breathing sounds intermittent, and the breath is not very coherent.

"Hello?" Xu Chengdu asked tentatively again, "You know Xu Shaoliang..."

"A'Du. It's me." The other party finally opened his mouth, coughing for a while.

A nice, warm, familiar voice, obviously so soft, but it seemed to explode in my ears.

The right hand holding the phone trembled, Xu Chengdu couldn't believe it: "...Baige?"

"Ah."

"How could you..."

"Did you call to pay back the money?"

Xu Chengdu silently drew circles on the ground with his toes, and nodded: "...Well. But, why did you give my old man..."

"Then you can send the money directly."

After finishing speaking, Baige hung up the phone on his own.

Xu Chengdu stared at the darkened phone screen, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the screen with his gaze.

Holding the phone, he actually wanted to ask Bai Ge, how is your health?Is the car accident serious?Why are you still coughing?Although it was said on Weibo that he didn't suffer any injuries, but passed out from overwork, although Baige's tone of voice didn't seem like something was wrong.

However, he just wanted to ask personally.

Immediately afterwards, the screen lit up again, an unread message.

turn on.

There is no beginning or end, just an address.

After ten years of absence, Baige's personality is getting more and more weird... Xu Chengdu sighed, and put his phone back into his pocket.Make a silent note in my heart: I have one more question to ask Bai Ge.

The same address was sent to Xu Chengdu's cell phone again a week later.

This time, the sender was a younger brother of Meng Yahu, urging him to take office immediately.

The next day, Xu Chengdu got up early in the morning and put on the uniform black suit uniform he had just received. For some reason, he used hairspray to pick up his unruly hair before he left, and the buttons were not buttoned. Ken dutifully buckled to the top one.

This mentality is probably due to... Although everyone is a bodyguard, but I want to be the most handsome one among the bodyguards... I guess...
