red and white roses together

"Brother Sheng, there is murderous intent in your voice." Ji Congxiao laughed.

Before receiving a call from Sheng Huai at night, he never thought that there would be a turnaround in this matter.Of course, what he didn't expect was that even Sheng Huai's good temper would be turned into this by Du Mingjing...

Before I got home, I made a call first.After a simple greeting, he directly talked about the follow-up.The anger and sarcasm in the voice almost broke the screen.

"I don't know how many times I have rejected him, and I haven't seen him stop." Ji Congxiao opened his mouth to comfort him, and thought for a while, "But I probably don't take it seriously when I reject him, after all, I am a famous visitor. No rejection."

Sheng Huai opened the door and entered the room, raised his hand and loosened his tie.Hearing his words, he couldn't help but smile.Although it was not obvious, he could still hear the comforting meaning.

In the morning, Du Mingjing left with a satisfactory answer.Although Sheng Huai had no intention of entangled with him, but he couldn't stand the fact that this person's words and demeanor were really "impressive", and he couldn't avoid it, so he simply continued playing the interrupted game.After all, watching him act is better than disgusting yourself.

So at night, on the recommendation of Du Mingjing, he went to a well-known restaurant for an appointment.

"Actually, as long as you don't talk about relationships, that's acceptable. But I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, so I just want to touch my own advantage." He sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of cold water. .As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw the rose that Du Mingjing had inserted in the slender vase on the coffee table, and immediately raised his hand to take it out, and turned his wrist to fold it.

"What did you ask him?" Ji Congxiao was curious.

"I asked him," Sheng Huai twitched his lips, "has he ever thought that his pursuit will cause trouble to me?"

Ji Congxiao answered, "How did he answer?"

"He said—" Sheng Huai squinted his eyes, and recalled the situation at that time.

Hearing his question, Du Mingjing's flowing movements did not change at all.Western food etiquette is still as standard as a textbook.He took a sip of champagne, pressed the corners of his lips, and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, as if he was ready.

At that time, Sheng Huai looked at him like this, thinking that he had some high-sounding reason or excuse.However, Du Mingjing's answer opened his eyes -

He said: So, it will do you no harm to agree to me as soon as possible.

"brazen."

Ji Congxiao rummaged through the thesaurus in his mind, but he could only find such a word to describe it.He could even imagine what it was like at that time, while pursuing affectionately, but at the same time speaking words that did not respect people at all.It's no wonder Sheng Huai was so angry.but……

"Didn't he always take the gentleman's line in front of you? Why did he start acting like a domineering president?" Ji Congxiao was puzzled.

"Probably because I thought the old way wouldn't work, so I found a new way." Sheng Huai replied, after all, Du Mingjing said the same thing in the morning, and he agreed in a fit of anger.It may give the other party the illusion that this method may be effective.

He was leaning on the sofa with one hand resting on his forehead.Looking at the night outside the window, his eyes are far away.

He used to think that he knew Du Mingjing well.However, after returning to China, he discovered that there were too many things about this person that he could not understand.For example, why pursue him and Ji Congxiao at the same time?Another example, why can't you just let go after being rejected?He has no sense of humor at all, and he even wants to pull up a banner of love as a disguise.

There was still a little anger in his voice, and the volume was raised a little, but it lost a lot of calmness and added a bit of youthful vitality.Ji Congxiao was particularly curious about it.

But no matter how novel it is, it can't continue. What if Sheng Huai gets mad?

So he took the initiative to change the subject and asked about their itinerary tonight.

"I went to the sky garden on the top floor of the Century Hotel."

The Century Hotel is where the two escaped the paparazzi a few months ago.

According to Du Mingjing, the sky garden is a gift from the owner of Century Hotel to his lover.Although the name is a garden, it is actually a restaurant.Occupying the terrace with the widest view of the Century Hotel, it is all glass and open-air design.Known for its romance and uniquely designed scenery from the restaurant, it is a good place for couples to date.

"Although it has a good reputation, it's actually nothing more than a superficial appearance. Things are colorless and tasteless, and only desserts can be eaten. As for the terrace design," Sheng Huai pulled the corners of his lips, "it's really good to put it in other places, but in the smoggy imperial capital, If you can't see the bright galaxy, what good scenery can there be?"

Listening to his complaints, Ji Congxiao clicked his tongue on the other end of the phone.Sheng Huai is obviously still angry, otherwise, with his temper, how could he be so critical of a place?

Du Mingjing's contribution is really not small.

"Brother Sheng likes to watch the stars?" It was inevitable that he would continue, so Ji Congxiao had no choice but to pick topics that the other party was interested in talking about.

This question hit Sheng Huai's point just right.He immediately left Du Mingjing behind and told Ji Congxiao what he saw and heard when he was traveling abroad.

He has been abroad for many years, and in his free time on weekdays, he would walk around with his bag on his back.He has seen gloomy and ancient castles in Northern Europe, seen the mysterious and splendid aurora, and experienced many unique scenery of mountains and rivers, but what really impressed him deeply was the bright galaxy in the small town of Tekapo, New Zealand.

Ji Congxiao had heard of this place.It is a very famous dark night starry sky reserve.

"It happened to be winter in the southern hemisphere at that time, and it was the dry season. There was very little moisture in the air, and the view was excellent."

When it comes to favorite topics, Sheng Huai talks eloquently.Ji Congxiao lay on the sofa and listened to him talking about the band of Milky Way light that can be seen piercing the sky as soon as he looked up, listening to him talking about the bright sky covered with scattered stars, and listening to him talking about the stargazers around him unconsciously opening their eyes. The lights are easy to affect the line of sight but can't be persuaded...

Hearing the word-by-word description in my ears, I felt as if I followed him for a walk, saw the brilliance of the sky, and saw the scenery that shocked the soul.

Sheng Huai's voice was calm and calm as always.It's just that the voice line is slightly raised, with some bright colors.Ji Congxiao could hear little jumps and joys in it, it was a kind of excitement to share his treasure with others.

like a child.

Fortunately, he succeeded in changing the subject, and he knew that his anger had disappeared as soon as he heard it.

Ji Congxiao curled his lips.

Turning his eyes, he glanced at the heavy curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows.He raised his eyebrows and sat up.With a frown, he called out "Brother Sheng",

"There is something wrong at the moment, I will call you back later."

Sheng Huai responded naturally.

He leaned back on the sofa and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.Thinking of just now, I can't help but smile.He has gone out a lot, there are many photos, and there are many stories.But there are few people who can listen to him quietly.This is the first time to share what I have seen and heard with others.It feels... very good.

It is shocking to see the beauty.

And when you share it with others, it is joy.

Speaking of which, children are really good listeners.Although he looks alive and kicking and restless for a while on weekdays, in fact, he doesn't say a word when it's time to be quiet.The atmosphere is just right.

When the phone rang, he raised his eyebrows.So fast?

It's not a phone call, but a video call.

Sheng Huai casually nodded, intending to see what the kid was up to.However--

Once caught in the eye, the screen is full of bright stars.

Silent for a while.

"The time is short, and I can't make a more refined scene."

The voice came, and in the picture someone was walking with his back to the bright starlight, his face could not be seen clearly, only a slightly thin silhouette, the same color as the starlight.

Beyond the shock at the first glance, I listened to Ji Congxiao's prompt and the silhouette with an obviously wrong color tone.It was only then that Sheng Huai discovered that the so-called bright stars were actually lights in tall buildings in the city.

The pixels of the mobile phone are not high, the distance is too far away, the picture is zoomed out, and the details are not clear, but it is just right to shrink the neon and billboards to the size of dots, and deliberately find the angle to avoid the strings of street lights and light strips on the street , and added a filter that simulates the color of the starry sky, at a glance, it really looks like a sky full of stars.

"I don't have any stars in the sky, so I can only use thousands of lights as a disguise."

A clear voice came out of the receiver with a smile.Sheng Huai raised his hand to cover his face, and leaned back against the back of the sofa.The curvature of the corners of the lips could not be controlled to rise high, and could not be restrained no matter what.

"There's no bigger surprise than that."

He murmured a few words.

Although Ji Congxiao didn't hear his words clearly, he could see his obvious smile, and couldn't help but also frowned.On a whim, the effect is really good.

He didn't rush, just lay on the table and stared at the phone.He turned off the light here, but Sheng Huai's place was extremely bright.It was enough for him to see the other person's expression and movement, even the broken rose on the coffee table.

"Brother Sheng."

He shouted.

Warm and soft.

Sheng Huai looked over.I can only vaguely see his outline, in the darkness, under the starlight, quiet and soft.

His mood then calmed down, and he responded in a low voice: "Yes."

"How are you feeling?"

Sheng Huai was startled, and turned off the bright lights in the living room with his backhand.Hide the uncontrollable corners of her lips into the darkness.

"Happy."

"Don't be angry anymore."

It wasn't until Ji Congxiao asked that sentence that he suddenly understood that the indistinct change of the topic that night, and this deliberately pleasing surprise, were all ways for the children to comfort them.

My heart is full of ironing.

He repeated: "I am very happy."

"But I'm not happy anymore!"

A clearly joking voice came from the opposite side.

Sheng Huai raised his eyebrows.

"It's so dark that you can't see anything."

"It's too bright here, which affects stargazing." Sheng Huai replied of course, and then said, "Remove the filter, let me see your Wanjia lights."

Slender fingers appeared in front of the camera, and with a few movements, the scene on the screen returned to its original appearance.

The dim ones are residences, the bright ones are high-rise buildings, and the bright ones are neon signs.

The dark silhouette is a thoughtful little friend.

The child picked up the phone and approached the floor-to-ceiling windows.Point the camera at the window.

The lights of Wanjia drew closer, and even the street lights and traffic on the street were included in the lens, and the bustle caught the eye.

"Doesn't it look good? How is it better than your starry sky?" When the camera turned, the handsome young man occupied most of the screen, reflecting the radiance outside the house, and his sharp face was a bit deeper, but he was abruptly captured The curvature of the lips and the smile in the peach blossom eyes became bright.

"Each has its own advantages." Sheng Huai replied, "However, in other respects, your Wanjia lights are naturally better."

Ji Congxiao raised his eyebrows and asked him to explain.

"When you open the curtains, you can see the lights of thousands of houses." And if he wants to see the stars in the sky, he must have the right time and place to be harmonious with people.

Ji Congxiao bent his lips, and didn't say that the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his house can't be opened a few times a year.

Looking at the lights of thousands of houses alone, you will always feel lonely.Because the light belongs to someone else's house, and the joy of the whole family in the light belongs to other people's house.

It was only today that he dared to pull away to take a look at this beautiful scenery.Because Sheng Huai is there.

Even if the two are separated by the Internet, even if they are both in the dark.But he knew that the person opposite was real.What's more, the same background, the voices that are close at hand, give people the illusion of being in the same room in a trance.

The corner of his lips curled, and he looked at the dark screen of the phone: "There is a new playground on the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the entire imperial capital, Du... I will take you to play someday when I am free."

It's better not to mention Du Mingjing, so as not to spoil such a good atmosphere.

Sheng Huai clearly recognized the word Du, and the corners of his lips twitched.The corners of his lips were bent carefully for the child's care.He was not in a bad mood when he heard the name, let alone how to return the gift to Du Mingjing after his anger subsided.

He naturally accepts all of the children's thoughtfulness.

The invitation to travel is even more omnipresent.

Speaking of which, after meeting the children, his life has indeed been enriched a lot.So, children may still be little angels, or the one with fulfilled wishes?
