put on a show

Pei Qing returned to his home first, put down his luggage and drove directly to his parents' house.

Both Pei's father and Pei's mother are old, if you say that Pei Qing still misses the most when he goes out to film, it's the old couple.Fortunately, the old couple are both in good health, so he feels at ease when he goes out. He often calls to greet him, and the first thing he does when he comes back is to come and have a look.

Mother Pei knew that her son was coming home today, so she has been busy in the kitchen since the afternoon, personally setting up a table of Pei Qing's favorite dishes, even if the aunt at home wanted to intervene, she sent her away.

A pot of mutton was stewed on the stove earlier, and the meat is already full of fragrance.Mother Pei was making dumplings, and when she saw Pei Qing coming into the kitchen, she asked him to wash his hands and help roll out the dumplings.

"I adjust the stuffing a lot, wrap some more and you can take it home to eat."

Pei Qing has also rolled the skin for his mother for many years, and he said quickly, "Don't waste your energy, trouble."

"Excuse me for a while, it's convenient for you to take it home and cook it."

"You can buy it in the supermarket."

"Don't think I don't know, you don't eat the ones bought in the supermarket." Mama Pei is telling the truth. Her dumplings are different from ordinary dumplings. It's not just a matter of ingredients and seasoning. It is the thick soup made by the genuine old hen for half a day, which penetrates into the meat bit by bit, so it is so delicious and unforgettable.

The whole family ate happily together, and Pei Qing also chatted about some things in the crew, and mentioned that Senior Brother Qu came to visit him on set.

Father Pei suddenly said: "Little Qu is engaged, you know that?"

Pei Qing also nodded: "Yes, I heard."

"I went with your mother, and I took tea from him as a mentor," Father Pei said with a smile, "He said you were filming, so he didn't invite you. The engagement is simple, and there are only a few people in the family, and there is no publicity."

Pei Qing also lowered his head and gave a "hmm".

"Your senior brother Qu and his wife are very affectionate and nice." Father Pei said, winking at Mother Pei.

Mother Pei took the words and continued: "Son, your senior brother has been drifting for so many years. We teachers feel relieved after his engagement. This person, you can't always be alone, you should find someone Yes, even if it is to accompany and talk."

Pei Qing almost choked on a mouthful of vegetable soup, and quickly wiped his mouth: "I know about my own affairs."

"I know every day, what do you know?" Father Pei pretended to be angry, "When we talked about this before, you said you like boys. If you like boys, you like boys. Your mother and I are not old antiques. What about your partner? Take the boy home and show me and your mother."

Pei Qing frowned helplessly: "No, I can't just grab someone and bring them back."

"I see that other boys can find a partner. Tell me, why are you worse than them? You can't find it. Should you reflect on your own reasons?"

Pei Qing was simply helpless.

Mother Pei hurriedly sang red face: "Hey, old man, why did you start to attack personally while you were talking. Our youth is not bad at anything, it's just that we haven't met the right one. You eat your food, and I will tell my son later. .”

Pei Qing also looked at his parents' seamless acting skills, and for a moment felt that the title of actor should be given to them.

Sure enough, after dinner, Father Pei honestly went to wash the dishes, and Mother Pei knocked on the door and entered Pei Qing's room.Pei Qing is still arranging his bookshelf, from top to bottom, his elementary school textbooks are still stored on the top floor.

Mother Pei leaned against the bookshelf, and asked him with a smile, "Did you encounter any interesting things during filming this time?"

"It's nothing, it's just the same as before, very ordinary."

"Who is there? Is there any student of mine?"

Pei Qing even showed the still photos to his mother. He knew that she still missed the time when he was in front of the camera, so he often told his mother about the set when he came back from filming.

"Hey, this young man is so handsome, what's his name?"

"Xing Pei, he is the leading actor."

"Such a handsome actor? Does he have a date?"

Pei Qing also snatched the phone back: "What are you and my dad thinking about all day long? You don't even go to the villa in Beishan to recuperate. Every day in this family courtyard, you hear too much gossip about getting married and having children. , all my heart is on it.”

"Just kidding, of course your dad and I are thinking about you all day long. We want you to shoot the scene you like and find someone you like to live in peace. Son, you are not young anymore. Your dad and I will not be able to live together one day. Be with you. You don't like girls, and we can't force you if you don't have children, but you must have a companion, otherwise we will be gone, and you will be alone in the world." Mother Pei's eyes were moist as she said.

Pei Qing was also feeling very guilty and uncomfortable. At this age, he still caused his parents to worry about it. After all, it was all his fault.He put his arms around his mother's shoulders and comforted him: "Mom, don't think so much, I will take care of my affairs. Don't always think that you are old and still early."

"There is no parent who doesn't worry about their children. You, Aunt Qin, remember that your father's colleague used to go to the United States. Do you have any impression?"

Pei Qing nodded, why did the topic suddenly turn to Aunt Qin.

Mother Pei lowered her voice as if whispering: "His son also likes men, and now he is a literature professor in an American university. He is two years younger than you. Look at the photo." As she spoke, Mother Pei took out a photo from her pocket , "Son, I know you have a good eye in the movie industry, but good looks can't be eaten, it's important to get along well. He returns to China next week, do you think you have time to meet and chat?"

Pei Qing was still speechless, the old couple had performed such a big show together, so they were waiting for him here.

What else can he do, but take the photo: "Okay, I'm going to bed, you go out first."

While being pushed out by him, Mother Pei said, "Think about it carefully."

Pei Qing also closed the door, glanced at the well-groomed middle-aged man in the photo, and immediately saw Xing Pei's handsome, domineering and aggressive face.He knew it was unfair to compare this person with Xing Pei, but he did so subconsciously.

He felt that it would take some time to expel Xing Pei's face from his comparison map.

Pei Qing stayed with his parents for two days before returning to his home.As soon as I got back, I received a call from Chen Yali, saying that he was approached by scripts and variety shows recently, and asked to find time to go to the company.

Pei Qing had already heard from Luo Jia that he was not interested in the last few jobs.

"Sister Li, I just finished filming and I want to take a break and stay at home with my parents."

There was silence for a while, not very satisfied with Pei Qing's lack of cooperation, but what he said was the truth, Chen Yali couldn't force it: "Well then, take a good rest. There are quite a lot of people looking for you recently, this is an opportunity , take care of yourself."

Pei Qing also knew what Chen Yali meant. Since Xing Pei's hype last time, not only did he have more than 200 million fans, but he also had more messy jobs, but he was not interested in any of them.

The filming of "The Piano Teacher" went smoothly, and it was finished within the scheduled time. In fact, for Pei Qinghuan, it was still far from his standard.In the past few months, he has gained nothing in the film, has no new experience, and has not had the joyful resonance brought by the integration with the characters.

If you have to say something has been gained, it may be Xing Pei.

Such a dewy relationship with him is a rare and beautiful emotional experience for Pei Qing in all these years.The reason why it is beautiful may also be because it is short-lived, you can be as free as you want, you don't have to think about anything, and you don't have to be responsible. What you ask for is exactly what you can give, so he enjoys the process with peace of mind, so when it's over, Pei Qing is still a little unsatisfied .

More importantly, Xing Pei comforted him and let him pass through the difficult time when he heard the news of Qu Lian's engagement.Or maybe it was precisely because of this blow that he threw himself into this meaningless vortex of desire without hesitation.Xing Pei made him have no time to think about the thought of being ruined suddenly, and the fresh scars had no time to care about it. After a while, it also started to scar, and when he touched it again, it didn't seem to hurt so much.

After a few months, the first night when I returned to my home was a bit deserted.It was probably because the nightlife was too rich in the previous period, and suddenly I came back to this room with only myself, and I felt a little uncomfortable lying on the bed alone.

Obviously he didn't like to share time outside of work with others before, so at first when Xing Pei insisted on sharing a bed with him, he suffered from insomnia every night.It's not very kind to drive away the person who just kissed and hugged him after the incident, so I just endured it.I don't know when it started, he is also used to someone next to him who will come to hug him after he falls asleep, and will bury his face in his vest, and he is used to the smell of Xing Pei when sharing the same bed and exchanging breath.

Pei Qing still got up, and lit a stick of incense as usual in sleepless nights.

--

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, in the detached villa in Beishan, Xing Pei, with his unkempt hair and two dark circles under his eyes, frantically slapped on the door of the room next door to him: "Li Mo, Li Mo, open the door!"

Li Mo hurriedly opened the door, and even had time to put one of his trousers in: "What's wrong?"

"Is it the mattress from the previous hotel that was changed for me?"

"Yes, it was replaced this morning when it was shipped back."

"You watched them change it yourself?"

"I looked at the replacement, and the replaced mattress is still in the guest room."

Xing Pei plucked two handfuls of hair: "Then why can't I still fall asleep?"

Li Mo: "..."

He is a bit picky about the bed, he only has a soft spot for one brand of mattress, and occasionally suffers from insomnia when the mattress is changed.But this is Xing Pei's house, all of them are mattresses of that brand, and he suffered from insomnia for a few days after returning home. He suspected that the problem was with the mattress. Today, he changed to the one he had been used to sleeping in the hotel, but he still couldn't sleep.

Xing Pei suddenly remembered the few nights he spent in Pei Qing's return room, and he slept on a hotel mattress, but he didn't suffer from insomnia.Xing Pei felt that it might be the reason why Pei Qing still lit the incense, the smell somehow made people feel at ease.

"Give me a stick of incense."

"What scent?"

"The one on the table the day I left, and the one I asked you to wrap in a cotton t-shirt is the incense seat." Looking at Li Mo's blank eyes, Xing Pei immediately widened his eyes, "Did you not take the incense next to it together?" let's go?"

"I took it, but I didn't see it when I came back to collect it."

Xing Pei's eyes widened again, and his eyebrows were twisted into hemp ropes: "Go and find it for me, if you can't find you, you can get lost."
