The years are long

In the box of the barbecue restaurant, the smell of meat is permeating, and the meat on the grill makes a sizzling sound.

"Don't drink, just drink some juice." Xu Xinzhou poured a glass of orange juice for Xia Xingchen, Qin Yu, and Lu Nian, and handed them over one by one.

"Are you busy recently?" Xia Xingchen took the cup.

Xu Xinzhou took a sip of orange juice, nodded and said, "Yes, after I finish recording the song, I'll talk to you about opening a store."

Xia Xing pursed the corners of his lips lightly, "Don't worry, you should do it first."

Sitting next to Xia Xingchen, Qin Kuang felt that Xia Xingchen was not so alienated from Xu Xinzhou, so he took another look at Xu Xinzhou.

Xu Xinzhou's gaze happened to meet Qin Yan's, and he couldn't help joking: "Sister Qi, you won't be jealous, right?"

Qin Yu was startled slightly, then smiled softly and said, "Why? I know you are friends."

When recording the first episode of "Joking About Light and Shadow", Xu Xinzhou greeted Xia Xingchen in the lounge. Although Xia Xingchen's reaction was not as warm and familiar as ordinary people, it was obviously different from the usual alienation with business partners.

In addition, it was also said at the time that they had known each other for a long time, so the relationship between the two must be good.

"Really?" Xu Xinzhou was dubious, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't you don't mind in front of us, you will vent your anger on Xingchen when you get home."

Qin Kui looked at Xia Xingchen's side face, and the warm smile in his eyes rippled like ripples: "Really not, don't worry."

The tone was gentle and solemn, as if promising to the mother-in-law that she would not bully her daughter.

Xu Xinzhou gritted her sore teeth, and sighed: "In order to avoid that you might be jealous in the future, I'll just confess to you, just to chat." She stopped to take a sip of orange juice, and continued: "Xingchen and I are I met at an opening ceremony, when I was going to sing on stage, and Xingshen happened to be the investor. After getting to know each other for a long time, I became more familiar, and I would ask Xingshen if I wanted to develop some side businesses."

Seeing that they were having a good chat, Lu Nian didn't interrupt, and just turned over the meat on the baking tray.

Qin Yu listened carefully, and finally nodded: "So that's the case."

Xia Xing sank to prevent Xu Xinzhou from talking with Qin Kui, and listened silently.

"Sister Qi, I see you like this, why do you look like Xingchen never mentioned me to you?"

Xu Xinzhou glanced suspiciously at the immobile Xia Xingchen, with a bit of resentment in his tone.

Qin Yu pursed his lips and smiled softly, "I probably don't remember..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xing said suddenly: "It's true that I didn't mention it."

Xia Xingchen ruthlessly punctured Qin Yu's well-intentioned circle, and Lu Nian couldn't help covering his lips and laughing.

Xu Xinzhou glared at Xia Xingchen and scolded with a smile: "Xingchen, you who value sex and despise friends, you don't even mention me!" She paused, and there was something in her words: "Is it true that you are too/lovely with Sister Qi? ?”

Qin Kui's brows twitched when he heard Xu Xinzhou's words, and he looked at Xia Xingchen calmly.There was nothing unusual about the latter, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised in a joking manner.

How magnanimous do you have to be in your heart to face it so freely?

The same magnanimity Qin Yu couldn't do it, her heart was throbbing for Xia Xing, and all her thoughts would fluctuate with Xia Xing.And when they had to face the truth of the initial lie, she was still struggling to find a little light in this dark darkness.

It's just that at this point, the hope in her heart has been more and more wiped out.

"Okay, eat your meat quickly, so much talk." Lu Nian put the meat into Xu Xinzhou's bowl and joked, "Here, I'll eat it for you first, and shut your mouth."

"Okay, everything is easy to talk about if you have meat." Xu Xinzhou was discouraged, and with a smile in his eyes, he pretended to let Xia Xingchen go, and chose to eat barbecue as the next best thing.

"Sister Qi, Xingchen, move your chopsticks quickly." Lu Nian continued to take care of Qin Xing and Xia Xingchen, and did not forget to tease Xu Xinzhou: "If you don't eat any more, Xinzhou will get rid of it in a while, she eats meat It's coming soon."

"Then we won't be polite." Qin Kuo smiled, first put the barbecue meat into Xia Xing's bowl.

Xia Xing lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, tacitly playing the role of a loving lover with her.

No one noticed that Qin Yu was full of emotions, and she never showed the slightest. Even though she was depressed, she still maintained a calm appearance. Only the left hand that was placed under the table and couldn't help but hold on to her trousers showed the iceberg in her heart. corner.

A few people just started eating when Qin Kuang's phone on the table vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID, held up her mobile phone and apologized, "I'm going to answer the call." Then she stood up, walked a few steps away and pressed answer.

Opposite was the producer of the program group of "Joking about Light and Shadow". After the call was connected, he said enthusiastically, "Xiao Qin, did I bother you?"

Qin Yu smiled politely: "No, is there anything Zhang Zhuo wants me to do?"

The middle-aged man smiled cheerfully, "I do have something to tell you. It's the next program. Wei Yiling has something to fly over to Ling Hai to record. Xiao Tang reported to the program team and proposed to perform together with you."

"Merge show?" Qin Kui frowned, suddenly feeling bad.

Her doubtful tone and the content of her words made the three people on the side look over.

The producer continued: "Yes, you can continue to perform the scenes you were originally assigned to. She will replace Xiao Xia's role, and you will not suffer."

Qin Yu was so surprised that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. What kind of operation did Tang Yi do?

It is absolutely impossible for Wei Yiling to fake it for her. Presumably, it should be true. Tang Yi probably used this incident to propose the so-called "merged performance".

She knew that Tang Yi would probably do some tricks on this show, but she didn't expect Tang Yi to be so blatant.

Due to the face of the Qin and Tang families, the producer probably wouldn't say anything about it, otherwise Tang Yi would ask her to perform together, and it would cause an uproar if it got out.

"Xiao Qin?" Seeing that she didn't speak, the producer began to persuade again: "You don't need to be pressured, the program team has agreed after discussion. It is beneficial for you to choose your plot for the combined performance of the two of you. And let Tang Yi replace Xiao Xia, the collision of acting skills between the two of you will be even more exciting, no matter how you look at it, it's acceptable."

Acceptable no matter how you look at it?

It seems that the producer is pretending not to know anything.

Not only did he not offend Tang Yi who took the initiative to ask for a combined performance, but he also used a business-like persuasion tone and analyzed the advantages clearly so as not to offend Qin Yu.

She took a deep breath and replied in the polite tone just now: "Okay, I have no problem."

Others are concerned about their family's face, so she can't rely on this to slap each other in the face, face must be given to each other.

"That's good, then I won't bother you." The producer who got a satisfactory answer couldn't help laughing.

Qin Kuang hung up the phone and returned to his seat. The faces of Lu Nian and Xu Xinzhou opposite were full of curiosity, and Xia Xingchen beside him also stopped his chopsticks and waited for her to speak.

"A good thing?" Xu Xinzhou hesitated when he saw Qin Yan's smile, "... Could it be a bad thing?"

Qin Yu looked at her and didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xingchen asked with a slight frown.

"There will be some changes in the recording of the next program." Qin Yu wanted to pretend to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the barbecue naturally, but in the end she didn't even bend the corners of her mouth, "I will perform together with Tang Yi in the next episode, and she will replace Xingshen's role. "

Her voice was very low, but it seemed that there was a bombardment sound in the box. After she finished speaking, there was only the sizzling sound of the barbecue in the box, and no one spoke.

Replace Xia Xingchen.

It sounds like it's just a change in the personnel who recorded the show, but there seems to be another layer of vague meaning in it, which makes people have to think too much.

Lu Nian and Xu Xinzhou looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Xia Xingchen at the same time.

Xia Xing's eyes fell on the baking tray again, his expression was as usual, and his brows that were furrowed just now were relaxed.It's just that her quiet appearance inexplicably made people feel a bit chilly, and even the atmosphere was frozen.

"Hmm..." Xu Xinzhou pulled his smile away, trying to dismantle the gradually frozen atmosphere, "Let's eat first, and then talk after eating, it's not easy to talk when you're hungry."

As she spoke, she secretly elbowed Lu Nian who was next to her. Lu Nian came to his senses and greeted him, "Yes, eat quickly."

Qin Yu could feel this slight ailment, and she had some expectations in her heart, hoping that Xia Xingshen would be like what Lu Nian and Xu Xinzhou were worried about, even if she cared a little bit, if she showed some traces, she would be greatly comforted.

These comforts will turn into motivation for her to go further towards Xia Xing.

But Qin Yu's expectation was shattered in the next second.

I saw that Xia Xingchen had no extra emotions or movements, and said in a shallow and indifferent voice: "Continue to eat."

For others, indifference is an emotion, but for Xia Xingchen, indifference is the norm.

Qin Yu slowly picked up the chopsticks, her fingertips seemed to lose the temperature suddenly, and then her whole body lost her senses.

How many times, she tried to find the courage to express her feelings in their relationship.She tried to collect them bit by bit, gathering them into a driving force that pushed her forward, but failed every time.

After coming out of the barbecue restaurant, Xu Xinzhou quickly pulled Lu Nian away.

Qin Fu drove Xia Xingshen home. Along the way, the two of them had a tacit understanding as if they had discussed it. No one had extra words, and no one mentioned the next program recording arrangement.

When Qin Yu parked the car at the door of Xia Xing's Shen's house, the car suddenly fell into an endless silence, until Xia Xingchen moved his body.

She asked, "Do I not have to go next week?"

"En." Qin Yu lowered his voice, looked straight ahead, and couldn't help but want to turn his head to look at Xia Xingchen.

"Then I'm going home. Be careful on the road." Xia Xingchen wanted to get out of the car after speaking.

Qin Kui pursed her lips tightly, the waves in her heart were churning repeatedly, she pinched the steering wheel vigorously, wanting to push back the branch that was growing in her heart back to the bottom of her heart.

Do you really want to let this relationship see the light of day?Really don't try again, maybe Xia Xingshen is willing to try to be with her?Many lovers develop from friends, don't they?

Maybe because they have always been friends, Xia Xingchen didn't think much about it. What if Xia Xingchen was willing to consider it?

These reasons overthrew the boulder in Qin Yu's heart one by one, pulled up her flourishing branches, and wrapped her heart in an instant.

"Xingchen!" She called out Xia Xingchen's name heavily, and stretched out her right hand to grab Xia Xingchen's left hand.

"What's the matter?" Xia Xing turned his head back, staring at Qin Kui who was holding his hand.

"Next week's co-starring is arranged by the program team." Qin Yu said without hesitation, because she was about to show her heart, she was serious but gentle, "It was also proposed by Tang Yi, and the program team will not offend her in order not to offend her." I, so deal with this matter with a more fair attitude. I don't want to co-act with her, but this is work, and I can't be willful."

"I understand." Xia Xing nodded deeply, she really didn't think much about it, Tang Yi's purpose had already been revealed.

Compared with Tang Yi's behavior, she felt that Qin Yu's actions at this moment made her puzzled.

Pulling her so suddenly and so hard, and explaining as if afraid of her misunderstanding...

"You know, I don't like her..." Qin Yu paused, and his grip on her became tighter.

Something seemed to flash through Xia Xingshen's mind, she frowned, her face was icy cold, and quickly cut off what Qin Kui was about to say: "You don't need to tell me these things, I'm going back."

She moved her arm, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and did not let go: "Xing Chen, listen to me..."

"Let go." Her voice was devoid of emotion, as if it had dropped to freezing point in an instant.

Qin Yu opened his mouth, and met Xia Xing's indifferent gaze as if he was looking at a stranger, his heart ached.Her lips moved, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, and gradually let go of her hands.

Soon, the co-pilot's door was closed, and the woman who was sitting next to her just now left her sight without looking back.

Did Xia Xing feel it?Just now they were able to sit together and talk freely, but now she abruptly ruined this relationship.

Instead of going further, there is no going back.

After entering the house, Xia Xingshen's chest heaved unsteadily, and the scene just now flashed before her eyes.

Qin Yu suddenly grabbed her, with a solemn and gentle expression, as if he had made a decision at that moment.

She grabbed the doorknob in disbelief, clutching it tightly in her hand.
