red and white roses together

Ji Congxiao looked at the phone, and dialed the number he knew by heart again and again, but the notification sound of turning off the phone always came from the receiver.

He frowned severely, and wanted to call Xue Heng's man to ask what Sheng Huai was doing.However, as soon as he took off the phone, before he hung up the phone, he saw the word "Sheng Tianxian" flashing on the screen, which was the address book he had changed after talking with Xue Heng on the phone some time ago.

To him, isn't Sheng Huai the same as what is in the sky and what is not in the earth?

He closed his eyes, put the phone back into his pocket, and finally restrained his impulse, not to mention, the current time did not allow him to stay outside.

The last road show will start soon.

Following the path back to the auditorium through the back door, he heard He Liuliu on the phone as soon as he turned a corner, his voice still a little excited.

"Work, work, work every day, what else do you think about besides work?"

"Didn't I specially prepare tickets for you? A rare concert! Why don't you invite people to go? Can you catch up with people like this? I'm not talking about you, really, my second brother and I both care about your feelings Life, you finally got out of the shadows, and you fancy one, why don't you know how to hurry up?"

"Can't you show a bit of the momentum of bidding in the mall?! No, this is not a project that you can grab again. If you miss this village, you won't have this store..."

"...It's not what I thought? It's not what I thought, so what's going on? You send people things and resources, watch their itineraries and help them get ahead, don't tell me you are Chasing stars? Hello...?"

"Brother? He Feng?! Hello???"

He Liuliu stared blankly at the phone call that was hung up by his elder brother for the first time, feeling incredulous.Ever since he was a child, his brother has never hung up on her phone...

When He Liuliu looked at the phone and turned around, he saw Ji Congxiao standing not far away. Thinking of how he yelled just now, he was a little embarrassed for a while.But she was embarrassed for a moment, and she twirled her hair and greeted, "Ji Chongchong, shall we chat?"

Ji Congxiao didn't like listening to other people's phone calls, so he wanted to leave at that time.It's just that the movement was a little slow, and before he had time to go far, he heard the words in his ears.He subconsciously recalled what He Liuliu had told him about the fact that the boss of the He family had a crush on his childhood sweetheart but failed. His thoughts were scattered for a while, his movements slowed down, and he was caught.

Ji Congxiao pinched his brows, he was still thinking about the unanswered calls, and he was not in the mood to chat with people.But He Liuliu has already greeted him, and the relationship between the two is not bad, so naturally he can't walk away so rudely, he can only follow the other party's wishes.

The two of them found a corner to squat down and talk like they did in the crew before.

"I heard from Han Lue that you didn't ask anyone to keep tickets for the premiere? What about relatives and friends?" He Liuliu found a topic to start with.

"I don't have anyone to give away, I don't have many friends," Ji Congxiao shook his head, "The only one, Xiao Qiao, is still on the set, so I can't go back."

"Little Qiao? Qiao translated? The one who often supports you on Weibo?"

"How do you know?" Ji Congxiao looked at the girl next to him in surprise. He and Qiao Yi had quite a few interactions on Weibo, but it was not so easy to find it in his pile of Weibo. unless special attention is given.

"I found it myself," He Liuliu said with a smile and bent his eyes, "I'm about to shoot another novel, and I'm looking for a suitable actor. How is he?"

Ji Congxiao does not doubt that he has him, and He Liuliu has the capital, the script is also good, and the people are also very good. This is a very good opportunity for Qiao Yi.

"Little Qiao is very nice, and he is good to friends, but he is a bit cold-tempered and doesn't like to socialize. In terms of acting, he is talented and works hard. He is different from me. He loves acting and loves it to the bone. I won’t bear it hard for so many years, and now I don’t even think about giving up.”

Ji Congxiao sighed, and continued: "If he hadn't been hidden by DK for so many years, with his acting skills, he would probably stand taller than me now."

Ji Congxiao tried to do his best to praise Qiao Yi, to impress him in front of He Liuliu.However, the exaggerated words were swallowed by him before they could be uttered.Straightforwardness is sometimes the most touching thing.What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see Qiao Yi's current situation clearly.It may be easier to make people feel false if they boast too much.

He Liuliu had heard about Qiao Yi's current situation. She asked, "He's not doing well, so you never thought of helping him?"

It was such a familiar question again, Ji Congxiao smiled: "Where is it that I don't help? He forbids me to intervene. We have both fought over this matter, he is too stubborn——"

"Hey! What are you two squatting there for? It will start in a while, He Liuliu, your makeup is all over!"

Han Lue's loud voice came from a far away place, interrupting Ji Congxiao's words, and made He Liuliu's voice pop up in an instant, leaving behind a sentence of "We'll talk later", and then quickly left to touch up the makeup.

Han Lue walked towards Ji Congxiao with a cigarette in his mouth, stopped beside him, handed him a cigarette, and helped him light it up.

"Come out to get some air, I'll be miserable if I don't smoke for a day."

Ji Congxiao took a deep breath between the cigarettes, and the nicotine eased his irritability: "You also smoke less, it's not good for your health."

"You who smoke more fiercely than me have the nerve to say me?" Han Lue clicked his tongue lightly, then thought of something, changed his expression, looked left and right to see if there was no one, and then leaned over to Ji Congxiao and said, "You But don't tell Sheng Huai that I gave you cigarettes, or he will miss me to death!"

Ji Congxiao held the corner of his lips, but did not speak.

Although Han Lue is very nervous about certain things, he is particularly sensitive when it comes to emotional issues, especially other people's emotional issues.Just like how he once revealed Sheng Huai's feelings towards Ji Congxiao, seeing Ji Congxiao's smile, he immediately felt something was wrong.With a raised eyebrow, he asked, "Is there a conflict?"

"No." Ji Congxiao denied.

Han Lue didn't believe it, he just thought he was stubborn.

"I don't know why you guys are having conflicts, but you are both big men. If you have something to say, don't hold it in your heart. How many couples are separated because of communication problems..."

He had a cigarette in his mouth, put his hand on Ji Congxiao's shoulder, and winked at the person: "No matter how bad it is, there is nothing that can't be solved by fighting, either on the bed or under the bed."

Ji Congxiao: "..."

The innocent little director who has never been in love is possessed by something? ? ?

Han Lue didn't notice his mental activity at all. He stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then said: "What about under the bed... He probably won't do anything with you. That guy loves people to the sky, so it's very likely It was you who beat me unilaterally, remember to be gentle."

Ji Congxiao silently took his hand from his shoulder: "I don't do domestic violence."

After speaking, he took a step back to show that he and Han Lue were not the same kind of people.

Han Lue was puzzled by his actions, and he was confused for a while before he realized: "Bah! I don't do domestic violence either! It's not... What I want to say is not this... Come here..."

Unmoved, Ji Congxiao looked at him suspiciously.

"...Come on, I'll go there." Han Lue rolled his eyes at the sky, "I just want to say that Sheng Huai is not in good health, so you should take care of him more."

Ji Congxiao frowned. In his opinion, Sheng Huai was in good health, no different from ordinary people.It's just... Thinking of being in the river that day, he knew that he had been in the water for a longer time, but Sheng Huai couldn't bear it first... He couldn't help but believe it.

"What's going on?" he asked, frowning.

"Did he tell you the reason for his retirement?" Han Lue asked.

Ji Congxiao nodded.

"I don't know the specifics. It's just that when he was discharged from the hospital after treatment, I went to see him, and he was all skinny. His attending doctor said that he had injured his foundation. His strength is much lower than that of ordinary people, so he needs to be raised well. This is why he lives like an old man at such a young age. After so many years of raising him, he has managed to get back to being a human being."

So in the river back then, if he was one step later, would Sheng Huai really have lost his life for him?

Thinking of this, Ji Congxiao's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he barely managed to catch the smoke between his fingers.

Seeing his appearance, Han Lue asked in doubt.

Ji Congxiao took a deep breath, extinguished the cigarette, and wiped his face: "It's okay, I'll look at him."

He opened his mouth to respond, already taking Sheng Huai as his responsibility, but completely forgot that he and Sheng Huai were not in a real relationship at the moment.

……

Sheng Huai was in a hurry on the streets of Changnan in the middle of the night, his expression was anxious and slightly annoyed.

Today, there was some temporary situation at the master's place, and there was not enough manpower, so he stayed there to help.He originally planned to talk to Ji Congxiao when he called on time every day, but the phone didn't ring all night.After he finished his work, he felt strange and planned to call the child to ask what happened.It's just that when he picked up the phone, he realized that the phone turned off automatically when the battery was low.

Sheng Huai hurried home, charged the phone, and didn't care about waiting for it to turn on, so he contacted Ji Congxiao first with the tablet.

The video was dialed, and it was picked up instantly, as if it had been waiting for him.The guilt in my heart grew a little more.

Ji Congxiao had indeed been waiting for news from Sheng Huai.

From the end of the road show to returning to the hotel, from the hotel to the airport, from the airport to returning to the imperial capital, and returning home, he has been waiting, but he has not waited.

Until now, it is late at night...

"You..." As soon as he connected to the video, he wanted to blurt out countless questions, where did you go, why did you turn off your phone?What's going on?

However, when his eyes touched the burnout written on the corners of Sheng Huai's eyes and brows on the screen, all the words were stuck in his throat.

He remembered Han Lue's words.All the questions, the answers sought, are suddenly not so important.

The storm stopped suddenly.

"Are you tired?" He asked softly.

Such an opening sentence made Sheng Huai startled.Immediately, his brows and eyes slightly curved, and he shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little worried, I couldn't contact you in time, my phone is out of battery..."

He tried to explain to Ji Congxiao, but was interrupted in an instant——

"It's not urgent, have you eaten yet?" Ji Congxiao asked.

"not yet."

"Then go eat first, and take a good rest after eating."

Sheng Huai chuckled, the kid's reaction today was not quite right.If it was in the past, he might have asked the bottom line to find out, but today...

He pushed the boat along the way and responded: "Then what about you?"

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep in a while, I won't wait for you today." Ji Congxiao said, otherwise Sheng Huai would have insisted on staying with him.After thinking about it, he added, "I have to go to the premiere venue tomorrow morning. I guess I'm busy. I'll contact you when it's over. You can sleep longer in the morning."

Ji Congxiao wanted Sheng Huai to rest more, but Sheng Huai secretly wondered about the possibility of children monitoring his brain.Otherwise, how could this arrangement solve all his problems?

The two had their own concerns, and hung up the video after a while.

Sheng Huai didn't finish eating and take a good rest as Ji Congxiao asked, he ate something casually to fill his stomach, then packed up and went out immediately.

On the empty street, Sheng Huai walked forward for a while, and suddenly stopped.

He raised his eyebrows, glanced back, and saw the elongated figure under the big tree under the street lamp, he smiled.

"Come out, I'm looking at you."

He was talking, but the other party didn't move at all.Sheng Huai had no choice but to go straight to the man.

The little rookie sent by Xue Heng was taken aback: "Didn't you lie to me?"

"There's no need to lie to you." Sheng Huai raised his chin towards his shadow.

These days, he has been faintly feeling that he is being followed. After careful observation, he found this young man whose stalking skills are too unbearable to look directly at.

He originally thought it was a robbery, but after waiting for several days without seeing any movement from the other party, he ruled out this option.He asked himself that he didn't offend anyone, and the other party didn't look like a fanatical fan or paparazzi. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered what Ji Congxiao said that day - I will find someone to follow you - and immediately he had a vague idea of ​​the other party's identity guessed.

"How many days have you been following?" Sheng Huai asked.

"Seven days."

"Who asked you to come?"

"My boss."

"...I mean who is the client."

"Oh, he said it was your red rose."

"Red Rose." Sheng Huai smiled lightly, and the last doubt was swept away at this moment.In a good mood, he teased the rookie, "Don't you guys need to keep it secret? Why do you say everything?"

"We are professional!" The rookie stared and maintained his company. "It was the employer himself who said that if you find out, you can tell me anything."

"What else did he say?"

The little rookie shook his head.

"Don't tell him my itinerary tonight." Sheng Huai instructed.

"That's not acceptable!" The little rookie retorted immediately.

Sheng Huai took out his mobile phone and looked at the ticket page: "I'm not going to other places, I'm going to the imperial capital, I'm going to see him. Surprise before joy, you know?"
