red and white roses together

When things come to light, regardless of the process, it is destined to end in one shot and two parts.

Looking at the back of Du Mingjing leaving in a hurry, Ji Congxiao heaved a sigh of relief.Problem solved for one.He didn't want to play for a long time, since he found out that he was interested in Sheng Huai.

No one likes to see his sweetheart flirting with others, even if it's just a hypocrisy.

"It's clean, now you can eat with peace of mind. What do you want to eat?" Sheng Huai canceled the dishes at Du Ming's scenic spots one by one, and waited for a while without waiting for a response. When he looked up, he saw the child leaning on the seat and lost in thought.

"Cong Xiao?" Sheng Huai called out to him.

Ji Congxiao came back to his senses, recalled Sheng Huai's words, and replied, "Let's have hot pot."

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, they should visit some lively things.

Hot pot is naturally much faster to prepare than delicate dishes, and the table is full in a short while.

"Aren't you going home?" Sheng Huai asked.After knowing each other for so long, he vaguely knew that Ji Congxiao didn't have a good relationship with his family, but he thought that no matter how bad the New Year was, he would always go back.

Ji Congxiao watched the waiter close the door and go out. Then he sat up straight and threw everything into the spicy pot—the bottom of the pot that Sheng Huai ordered was mandarin ducks.

He answered casually during the movement: "My father does not lack sons, and my mother does not treat me as a son, so it is meaningless to go back."

Sheng Huai stopped his hand, and poured the remaining half of the plate into the clear pot: "I have a bad stomach, eat less spicy food."

He asked, and then said: "I originally thought that the reason why you wandered away was because you didn't want to go home, and because of this, your phone was turned off and you couldn't make calls or see messages, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case."

Sheng Huai paused: "Then, you should have seen my message."

So, why no reply?

"The phone is broken, did you send me a message?" Ji Congxiao asked doubtfully.

"lie."

Sheng Huai just opened his mouth to say two words, he raised his head, looked at Ji Congxiao, his brows furrowed tightly: "Aren't you willing to find a suitable excuse?"

The curvature of Ji Congxiao's lips gradually decreased, and the frivolity on his face also slowly receded.He lowered his eyes, his expression was unclear: "Brother Sheng, you are deceiving yourself and others."

Turning off the mobile phone can be interpreted as avoiding people who don't want to answer the phone.But what about other contact methods?In today's electronic age, as long as there is a network, you can still access WeChat and send and receive emails with your mobile phone in airplane mode, not to mention the existence of computers and tablets.No one can be contacted, unless the person is in a mountainous patch with no signal, otherwise, there is only one possibility——

He doesn't want to be in touch with you.

Sheng Huai paused with his fingertips, but did not speak.The eyelids were half closed, and the corners of the lips, which were used to smiling, were drawn into a straight line, forming a stubborn arc.

"Building Dreams" is a short film, and the filming cycle is not as long as "Li Daitao Zombie", and he finished his career and returned to the imperial capital even earlier than Ji Congxiao.After many years and several months of intensive shooting, he, who is used to living a leisurely life abroad, couldn't adapt for a while. After finishing filming, he just wanted a holiday to rest.I had already thought about it on the return plane, and it was almost time for the kid to wrap up. When the time came, I would pick him up at the airport, which would be a surprise.Then, the two of them can go out for dinner and play as before, and maybe they can go to the playground to see the lights of Wanjia that the children love.

Then, during the Chinese New Year, Dali waits for people to finish the New Year's Eve dinner at home. If possible, he will call out people to celebrate the New Year together. After all, this year is much better than living alone.

However, "Li Dai Tao Zombie" was finished, Han Lue came back, and the crew also came back, but only Ji Congxiao was nowhere to be seen.I made a phone call and only said that I had a job, so I watched him fly to Moscow to shoot a promotional film that was not in a hurry, watched him play around, and then watched him go to visit Qiao Yi’s class—Ji Congxiao didn’t hide from reporters at all, His whereabouts can be seen almost completely from the reports-but no one has returned.

Can't even get in touch.

Sheng Huai is not stupid, it's not that he hasn't considered the reason why the other party doesn't want to talk to him.However, as soon as the thought flashed by, he was vetoed.

Rather than deceiving myself, it would be better to say that I know him too well.Just like you could see through the opponent's disguise at a glance just now.

Ji Congxiao, although he often treats many people like this, if he doesn't want to get along with him, he ignores him and makes people retreat.But that was only to other people, he would never do that to himself.Sheng Huai was very clear about his position in his heart.Ji Congxiao can do this to anyone, except for some people, such as Qiao Yi, such as him.

Because I care, I don't make decisions lightly.

To be honest is to restore the relationship, because it may be a misunderstanding.Similarly, that is the last respect for friends.

Therefore, Sheng Huai never took this reason into consideration.

He thinks he understands Ji Congxiao, but in this world, no one has seen the complete and real Ji Congxiao, and what he has seen is not complete, so what, can we talk about real understanding?

There was silence in the box for a moment, and it was extremely quiet.Ji Congxiao still lowered his eyes, the warm tea in his hand gradually cooled, and the sneer on his lips was reflected in the golden tea soup.

Sheng Huai is probably very angry now.After all, a friend who was sincerely with each other, in the end...

"So, what's the problem? Did I make you angry?"

Ji Congxiao raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock.He was startled when he saw Sheng Huai's serious expression, then the corners of his lips became more and more curved, and finally he couldn't stop laughing.For the first time tonight, he showed his most lively appearance.

"Isn't it you? Brother Sheng, I just realized now that you are the kind of person who starts to reflect on himself when others ignore me?"

Sheng Huai sighed, there was no other way.He still didn't think that the children would treat him like that, and he could only find the reason from himself.

Ji Congxiao moved his fingers, trying to flatten the gap between his brows, but in the end he just slightly bent his lips: "My question."

No one spoke anymore.

Until the boiling in the pot broke the silence in the box, the stagnant air re-flowed with the aroma of the hot pot.

"Eat first." Sheng Huai finally said.

Ji Congxiao seldom disobeyed him, not to mention the several hours flight plus the delay time at the airport, it was enough for him to digest the contents of his stomach. It's just that his stomach hurts too many times, such a little bit of pain, he habitually endured it, and it passed.

He raised his chopsticks and stretched towards the spicy pot. Although he is not very picky about food, things with a little taste are more likely to stimulate people's appetite after all.However, before the chopsticks entered the pot, they were stopped by someone.

"I have a bad stomach and eat less spicy food. I just reminded you. Why are you so disobedient?" Sheng Huai sighed.

Ji Congxiao hadn't been supervised by anyone for several months. Hearing this sentence now, his eyes felt hot, he put away his chopsticks and propped his head up, with a smile on his lips: "It's New Year's Eve, you won't Just let me be so calm?"

"Chinese New Year is not a reason for you to mess around." In this matter, Sheng Huai can be said to be unyielding.

Ji Congxiao didn't have to eat. Instead of arguing with Sheng Huai for this, he was more willing to follow Sheng Huai's wishes in exchange for a smile from the other party.So, I was obedient and obedient immediately, and didn't touch anything in the spicy pot.He didn't even look there from the corner of his eye.

Sheng Huai adjusted the sauce for him, even if it wasn't spicy, it was not bad.

He was appeasing his nearly rampant stomach when suddenly something fell into his bowl.Subconsciously picked it up and put it in his mouth, the just right amount of spiciness stimulated the taste buds.

His movements slowed down, and he raised his eyes to look at Sheng Huai.

I saw that the other party picked up a dish covered in red chili oil, put it in a glass of water twice, and then brought it to him.

My heart skipped a beat.

It is said that spiciness is actually a pain sensation.Ji Congxiao thought, the peppers in this store were too hot, and he felt pain from the tip of his tongue to his heart.Destroyed, unable to resist.

He dropped his chopsticks, raised his hands to rest on his forehead, his eyes were covered by the shadow of his palms.

"Brother Sheng will still take care of people as always. He is considerate, thoughtful and meticulous, and respects people." He raised the corners of his lips slightly, opened his eyes and looked over, with emotion and sigh, "Such a man is the most attractive Liked it."

"Really? Did you like that trick?" Sheng Huai put a piece of yam into his bowl, deliberately joking, trying to ease the too stiff atmosphere between them.

Ji Congxiao showed a helpless smile, originally thought that the last meal could be finished safely, but in the end...

"Ah."

He responded in a low voice, propped his forehead, and looked at Sheng Huai greedily.The lines and outlines were so familiar that he could clearly trace them even with his eyes closed.His eyes lingered over his face little by little, and he hadn't seen him for several months. The man's face had softened a little, making his eyebrows and facial features more handsome and deep, but the gentleness and softness between his eyebrows and eyes remained undiminished.

It's still heartbreaking.

Although Ji Congxiao's low response was light, it fell into Sheng Huai's ears without any hindrance.He froze, and suddenly raised his head, just in time to bump into a pair of gentle eyes.

In an instant, he was captured by the affection in it, and was speechless for a while.

Ji Congxiao took his expression into his eyes, pursed the corners of his lips a little bit, and repeated one sentence——

"I like you."
