duet

——He didn't even know that Lin Chen was here.

Lin Chen squeezed a glass of wine between his fingers, and swayed it gently with his steps.His approaching movements carried a natural eagerness, not too urgent, but enough to make the target perceive his intentions, and every step became a tease.For experienced lovers, a successful flirting should start when the eyes meet.

So Pei Xun turned his face sideways and looked at him.

Lin Chen imitated his movements, resting his elbows on the bar, leaning half of his body slightly.From Zhou Nian's point of view, Pei Xun was mostly blocked by him, as if he was in his shadow.

Zhou Nian stood up.

"Brother Nian?" Li Jin returned to the table with a plate of food.

"It's okay." He replied, still staring at that side - Lin Chen seemed to have said something witty, Pei Xun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled politely.He maintained his usual politeness to others, with a gentle look on his face. When Lin Chen spoke, he looked at him intently.Not overly enthusiastic, but never alienating.

And Lin Chen was obviously not satisfied with this.He moved forward a few inches indistinctly, past the carefully controlled distance at first.In the dark and hidden corner, he lowered his head, and Pei Xun leaned sideways, their postures were quite subtle.

It's like kissing.

Li Jin opened his eyes wide: "Brother Nian! Champagne!"

She called Zhou Nian's soul back.The tulip glass in his hand was knocked down by him, and the light golden wine trickled down the edge of the table.He straightened the wine glass, pulled two napkins, turned them up casually, and looked over immediately:

Someone stepped forward.

It was Song Yuzhen who came.He didn't put on the airs like Lin Chen, and walked straight over, putting his hands on Pei Xun's shoulders.Compared to Lin Chen approaching calmly, he and Pei Xun were obviously much closer. The three of them stood together, and it was clear at a glance who was close and who was distant.

Naturally, there is no serious relationship between Song Yuzhen and Pei Xun.His arrival finally broke the previous invisible ambiguity between the two.Lin Chen took a step back knowingly.

It was as if the shell covering him suddenly cracked a gap, and the air flowed again.He can breathe again.

Li Jin poured him another glass of wine and pushed it over.Zhou Nian just froze there, not even paying attention to her movements.

Following his gaze, Li Jin glanced back: "Ah, Shao Pei and Yuzhen... who is the other person?"

"What...you called him?" Zhou Nian was taken aback.

"...Huh? Who are you talking about?" Li Jin didn't react, "Hey, that person is gone."

With Song Yuzhen standing aside, the previous atmosphere immediately disappeared.Of course, Lin Chen couldn't just continue to strike up a conversation as if nothing had happened, so he chatted with her for a few words, took his leave and left first.He walked towards the outer hall, as if to go to the bathroom.Li Jin withdrew his eyes and found that the people around him followed him immediately: "Brother Nian? Where are you going?"

Zhou Nian didn't look back and waved to her.Li Jin turned his head full of doubts, and asked Chen Anru beside him: "He is so strange today, what's wrong?"

"Are you young?"

After watching everything, the actress just laughed.She picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and smiled meaningfully: "They are all for food protection."

As soon as he walked into the bathroom, Lin Chen was grabbed by the collar.

"Zhou Nian?" He was shocked, turned his head suddenly, saw who was coming, and immediately lowered his voice: "What are you doing?!"

Zhou Nian ignored him.He turned around and snapped the hidden lock, dragged him into the compartment, and pushed him.Lin Chen didn't guard against his move, slammed his back against the wall, and immediately cursed: "What are you crazy about?"

"What were you doing before?" Zhou Nian locked the door with his backhand.

"What did I do?" Lin Chen asked back.

"Just now," Zhou Nian repeated, "what are you doing."

"just……?"

Lin Chen calmed down and recalled, "I didn't do anything? Wasn't it just with... wait..."

He stared at Zhou Nian in disbelief: "Just for this?"

"What do you mean."

"What do you mean? - Shouldn't I ask you this sentence? What do you mean?" Lin Chen stepped forward, stared at him, and laughed in surprise, "You look like I slept with your wife— Who are you? Get angry with me for this?"

Zhou Nian just looked at him.

"Didn't I say that I broke up with that woman?" The anger on his face disappeared, replaced by an ugly expression mixed with sarcasm and a sneer, "What does it feel like to be helped by no one? Can you be unclear? Can't I still find a next home? "

"Isn't Pei Xun the perfect next wife? He's rich, generous, and must be very exciting in bed." He squinted his eyes, "Look at you, you've only slept with him a few times, and you're fascinated like this ,I--"

The rest of the words were cut off by Zhou Nian's sudden fist.Lin Chen was beaten to the side, and he staggered back two steps: "Fuck!"

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.Lin Chen gritted his teeth and wiped it off vigorously: "You fucking..."

"Stay away from him." Zhou Nian said slowly, "If I see you again..."

"What about you?" Lin Chen smiled angrily, "Why are you angry here? Do you still have anything to do with him now? Is he your thing?"

He approached and spat: "Who is Pei Xun? Even without me, there are countless people rushing forward! ——Who do you think you are?"

"The thing you mentioned last time... I found someone for you." Song Yuzhen said in a low voice, "Someone gave me a business card. It is said that it is very magical and can dig out everything. Come on, continue."

They were standing in the shadow of the colonnade.The charity auction of the dinner was over, several popular singers came to the stage to sing, the organizer came to the stage to give a speech and bowed, and the guests from all walks of life left under the guidance of the hotel waiter.After saying hello to the acquaintances, the two of them went against the flow of people and found a remote corner to stay.Previously, no matter where they were standing, someone stepped forward to disturb them, but this time they dispersed, and they finally stole a moment of peace.

He stuffed something into Pei Xun's hand.Pei Xun glanced down, and there was a line of low-key black words "Investigation Office".

"Thanks." He silently put away the business card.

"Leave this matter to a professional. Don't worry about it all day long." Song Yuzhen said, "Have you not slept well recently?"

"You know all of this?" Pei Xun raised his eyebrows.

"Please, the sound of you opening the door in the middle of the night makes you so noisy, okay?" Song Yuzhen quickly glanced around, and when he saw no one around, he immediately rolled his eyes, "And your pajamas are full of paint early in the morning, don't you wonder Why did you go? It's hard."

Pei Xun ignored him.

"I think you may be lacking in sex life." Song Yuzhen sneaked up to his ear and whispered, "But let's just rely on that one today, I don't think he's a good person..."

"..."

"I'm not joking. But it's time for you to take a rest and find a place to travel." Song Yuzhen said.As if there was some telepathy, he suddenly turned his head to the side, and saw Li Jin at a glance, his eyes lit up: "Ah, she is here."

Li Jin also saw him, immediately laughed and waved at them.

"Why are you pestering Young Master Pei again?" Holding up her skirt, she walked quickly to Song Yuzhen's side, and said first, "Is it annoying you to be noisy around people all day long?"

"He doesn't bother me." Song Yuzhen said so, but immediately left Pei Xun, pretending to go to hold her, "Hey, aren't you jealous? I said there is a sour smell..."

"Go away." She said, but didn't push his hand away, "If you want to eat, you will eat it from Mr. Pei. He is my current 'boyfriend'..."

Pei Xun just laughed.He put his hands in his pockets, his eyebrows stretched.

"Come on, it's out of your eyes, let's go." Song Yuzhen was dragged forward by Li Jin, and he didn't forget to turn around and blow him a kiss, "Go to sleep!"

"En." Pei Xun nodded.

He watched the two black and orange figures walking towards the door.The driver opened the car door for them, Song Yuzhen bent down comically, and made a gesture of "lady please first".Li Jin glared at him, and was about to close the door as soon as he got into the car, Song Yuzhen quickly got stuck, and sat down next to her.

The door is closed.Their car turned on the turn signal, turned onto the main road, and merged into the sea of ​​lights like thousands of stars.

Pei Xun stood where he was.After a while, he turned around and walked into the hall.A waiter who knew him came quickly and courteously, trying to press the elevator for him.Pei Xun just shook his head.

"No thanks," he said.

The elevator is surrounded by smooth white jade, and the top is inlaid with bright lights.As if he couldn't stand the scorching light, Pei Xun closed his eyes slightly.

With the sensor door closed, the elevator goes up smoothly.He counted in his heart, five, four, three, two...

One.

The door receded to both sides.This floor is his private room, almost no one will come here, and it doesn't matter if he is seen.Pei Xun lowered his head, pulled off the tie with two fingers, and threw it aside casually.In order to socialize, he may have had a few more drinks tonight, and the feeling of alcohol slowly spread on the ground at this moment, and his eyes were a little hazy for a while, as if separated by a thin layer of fog...

... Otherwise, how could there be someone in front of the door?

Pei Xun looked up.

He saw Zhou Nian standing upright.

The long and tall young man stood there, and as soon as he caught his gaze, he immediately froze into a beautiful stick.

"……Um?"

"you……"

I don't know how long I have been waiting here.Zhou Nian's voice was hoarse, like a traveler thirsty for too long.

"Tonight," he said slowly, "do you have an appointment?"
