red and white roses together

Chapter 22 The Seventh Rose

At ninety o'clock, the city is fully awake, with a bright sun and bright sky.

In the apartment on the 22nd floor, most of the blackout curtains were drawn, leaving a palm-width gap at the intersection. Bright skylight fell through the gap into the house, onto a few balls of paper towels on the carpet and a corner summer quilt.

The dark gray summer quilt slipped halfway off the big bed, and tended to slide down gradually.But the person on the bed didn't know it. He just hugged the corner of the quilt with both hands and pulled it in front of him, barely covering most of his chest and waist. His long legs were exposed naked, and his ankles overlapped. Shrinking, probably because of the cold.

The air conditioner was turned on too high.

But he still has no tendency to wake up.

Until the mobile phone on the bedside table lit up and vibrated, and the intense guitar solo sound suddenly exploded in his ears——

Ji Congxiao opened his eyes abruptly, gasped for two quick breaths, slowed down the rapid heartbeat caused by the sudden awakening, and then frowned and pulled the phone away. He didn't even see the caller clearly with a swipe of his finger, and wanted to open his mouth. Resent the past.However, the man on the opposite side was faster than him.

The hoarse voice recovered, and he shouted as usual: "Good morning, children."

The words that were about to be uttered were abruptly blocked, and all the anger that hadn't erupted before getting up was stuffed back, Taohua's eyes were completely devoid of anger and drowsiness, and she even forgot about the beauty of last night .Sheng Huai will definitely ask about last night's phone call right now, how should he answer?How to answer to prevaricate? !

After not hearing an answer for a long time, Sheng Huai frowned and repeated: "Cong Xiao?"

Suddenly, a light flashed in Ji Congxiao's eyes.

"Hmm...?" Holding the phone and shrinking under the quilt, he replied vaguely, then paused for a moment, as if trying to figure out who the person on the other end of the phone was, before continuing to ask in a sleepy voice, " Brother Sheng, are you home?"

He made a sleepy gesture.

Not only did he explain the blank period when he just answered the phone, but he also perfectly solved the problem left over from last night-he accidentally fell asleep while waiting for Sheng Huai to come home, so that he still thought that he was not awake when he was not awake. It was still yesterday.Of course, he didn't know what happened afterwards or how the phone hung up.

When Sheng Huai made this call, he originally wanted to test the situation last night, but unexpectedly got this answer.He was startled suddenly, his heart softened, the corners of his lips curved up unconsciously, and there was a smile in his words: "Haven't you woke up after ten o'clock?"

As soon as this sentence caught his ears, Ji Congxiao knew that he had been fooling around, and when he was about to complete a series of follow-ups of "stunned-at a loss-finally reacting", he resumed normal chatting.

"Did you call me last night?" Sheng Huai sat down in the yard, the sun was just right, not too strong, but it made people feel warm all over.He leaned back on the chair with a laid-back look, and thought to himself that he didn't blame the kid for sleeping at the moment, it was indeed a good time for people to want to take a break.

Putting away what happened last night, Ji Congxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time heard a familiar voice and a slight breathing sound, and instantly his mind jumped to the sound of panting from the phone last night, thinking that he had made a mistake. What I did, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.But that was only for a moment.

Men are all carnivorous animals, and he also held back for a while, and it is normal to be provoked.He wouldn't be separated from Sheng Huai because of this, not to mention, isn't this a turn of events?

After cleaning up all the messy things in his mind, Ji Congxiao sat up with his body propped up.

Sitting on the head of the bed with his upper body bare, the cold air made goosebumps on his skin. He held the phone, grabbed his shirt and put it on, opened his shirt and lazily yawned and replied: "It's okay, just listen to what Qiao Yi said. You were taken away by Du Mingjing."

"Qiao Yi?" Sheng Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Well, my little friend, your second male lead." Ji Congxiao explained casually.

"I know him." Sheng Huai replied, he had met Qiao Yi as early as the audition for the second male lead in "Dumb".Qiao Yi's audition was still right for him.That's a spiritual actor.The reason for repeating this sentence is only because of Ji Congxiao's undisguised intimacy in his words.The two met each other for more than two months. However, during this period of time, Sheng Huai had never heard anything related to his friend from Ji Congxiao, and this was the first time.

"I know, Brother Sheng, you are jealous!" Ji Congxiao raised his eyebrows, and teased, "Don't worry, Xiao Qiao and I are innocent, we are just good friends, you have to believe that I only have you in my heart!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Sheng Huai shook his head helplessly, interrupting this kid who was good at acting every minute.

Holding the phone, Ji Congxiao laughed out loud, threw himself into the soft quilt, and said after a while: "Xiao Qiao is my good friend, and I have to ask Brother Sheng to take care of me when I'm on the set."

Sheng Huai had a good impression of Qiao Yi at first, but now Ji Congxiao ordered him to do so, so he couldn't help it.After finishing this matter, he turned to mention the other purpose of today's call.

"I was drunk last night and said something I shouldn't have said." He briefly summarized the conversation with Du Mingjing last night. "I'm sorry that I interrupted this game without your consent."

"To be honest, I'm a little unhappy." Ji Congxiao folded his arms and frowned, tapping his fingertips on his arms.

"I understand." Sheng Huai replied, the game that was playing well was suddenly interrupted, and the gloom in his heart hadn't dissipated, so he would naturally be angry, but he had already spoken, and there was nothing to undo, only: " So I'm trying to figure out how to compensate—”

"Sheng Huai."

A sentence was interrupted by two simple words, without the usual teasing of the word "Brother Sheng", it was a very serious tone.

"Do you really understand why I'm unhappy?"

A rhetorical question followed, and Sheng Huai was startled.

"You are too serious. Although it is really annoying to be posed by Du Mingjing, but also because of this incident, I got to know you."

"Being friends with you is enough to offset all of Du Mingjing's deceit, and it's even more than enough."

Sheng Huai raised his eyes suddenly.The sunlight fell into the eyes and reflected into the bottom of the heart, warming the heart, lungs and blood vessels.

He understood what Ji Congxiao meant.

Ji Congxiao was questioning how much he valued this friendship, and was asking whether the friendship between them could not compare to a game against Du Mingjing?

Sheng Huai curled his lips with a gentle voice: "Then, little friend, have you ever thought that the reason why I apologize so solemnly is because I value you too much?"

It is precisely because I care about it, and I don't want to have the slightest barrier, that's why I am so solemn.

Ji Congxiao paused for a moment, and then asked in doubt: "What about the compensation?"

"If you are really angry, you have to coax it back."

Ji Congxiao: "..."

Awkward!

It's embarrassing!

There was no response on the other side of the phone for a long time, Sheng Huai could only faintly hear the rubbing of the fabric back and forth, he smiled, and immediately wanted to tease a few words, but before he could speak, the doorbell rang first.

"Someone is here, I'll contact you later." Sheng Huai confessed and hung up the phone first.

Ji Congxiao looked at the phone interface that was hung up, and couldn't help but plunged into the quilt again and rolled back and forth twice.It took a while to spread it into a big character, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Those words just now are not false.

He was even very glad that Du Mingjing had come here, otherwise, he and Sheng Huai probably wouldn't have met each other, and he would have lost such a true friend who was likely to accept him wholeheartedly.

Not only the bright sunshine on the surface, but also the unknown gloom and depression.

He can be sure that Sheng Huai has already seen the dark side of his heart that night when he stayed overnight.However, that night, the next morning, and for so many days afterwards, he did not see the slightest trace of alienation from Sheng Huai's behavior.

It is clear at a glance whether a deception is more important than a true friend.

The sunlight sneaked into the room, climbing all the way from the carpet to Ji Congxiao's body, shining on his translucent eyes, and also on the curve of his lips that never fell.

……

Sheng Huai opened the door, and a red rose was handed to him.He watched Du Mingjing frown, and even his joyful mood dissipated a lot.But Du Mingjing's ability to perceive words and emotions in the past seemed to disappear overnight.

"Did you sleep well? Have you had breakfast yet?"

"How does the hangover feel? Does the headache hurt?"

"Given your current status, you don't need a banquet to socialize. It's better to drink less in the future."

Hustle and ask for warmth as usual, as if nothing happened last night.

"I don't have the habit of drinking and forgetting things." Sheng Huai let him into the house. Although he said that he didn't want to have any interaction with Du Mingjing anymore, he didn't want to stop him from the door.In the villa area, although there are few residents, it is easy to see the situation in the courtyard clearly when people come and go. With their identities, it is easy to get headlines if they are not careful, and they may not be able to explain clearly even if they try their best.

"I don't have such a fluke idea." Du Mingjing smiled.

Sheng Huai raised his eyebrows: "Then are you here today?"

"I'm chasing you." Du Mingjing handed the rose to him again, "You rejected me, but it doesn't mean I can't keep pursuing."

He leaned over and approached Sheng Huai, but stopped at just the right distance, and said in a low voice: "Give up once you refuse, you underestimated my liking for you."

The deep male voice whispered almost love words in his ear, but Sheng Huai didn't even move his eyebrows: "Then how many times do you plan?"

"Of course until you agree." Du Mingjing said as a matter of course.

Sheng Huai pointed it out without hesitation: "Your efforts are wasted."

Du Mingjing retorted: "How do you know if you don't try?"

If Du Mingjing had come earlier, before Sheng Huai called Ji Congxiao, he might have followed suit in order to allow the children to continue the game. However, now, with the affirmative comparison from the children, he would naturally not do it again. Wronging myself and Du Ming Jingxu and wronging the snake.Reject immediately and categorically:

"Don't try, it's impossible, just give up."

"It's up to you whether to accept it or not. It's up to me to decide whether to give up or not."

Sheng Huai originally thought that with Du Mingjing's arrogance, it was naturally impossible for him to tolerate repeated rejections from others.

He frowned: "Does it make sense?"

"Of course." Du Ming nodded, "Even if you don't accept it all the time, you've spent your whole life with me."

Sheng Huai's eyes suddenly turned cold.In the past, Du Mingjing's words might have made him feel so affectionate, but now, after all his actions have been exposed, Sheng Huai just felt his stomach churning when he heard such a sentence.He has always been kind to others, and this is the first time that he hates or even loathes a person so much, in a word.
