we are not friends anymore

It was late when Ji Yan was smoking a cigarette on the balcony, but he didn't feel sleepy, so he went back to the bedroom and read the script again.

There are still a few months before the filming starts, and what he got is the second version of the script, which will be revised later, but the general framework is already like this.

In this film, he will play a nervous man who has been depressed and suffers from a very serious communication barrier. He can only vent his inner depression by making pastries.

In the current version, the man is obsessed with the heroine, obstinate to the point of almost pathological.

Ji Yan has acted in dramas for several years, and there are many affectionate characters, but there are almost no such crazy and stubborn ones, so he has not thoroughly studied this role so far.

He closed his eyes and drew the portrait of the hero in his mind, but the image was still blurry.After thinking about it, Qiao Mingxi's face suddenly appeared.

The boy sat on the sofa with his knees hugged, and looked at him without saying a word, until he closed the door and left, those eyes seemed to be still looking at him through the thick door, like awns on his back.

At first, Ji Yan didn't like the script of this film very much. He is a person who is more rational than emotional, and he never understands the psychology of people who are willing to die or live for love.But he read the actor's lines bit by bit, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity lasted until now.

He had a long phone call with the national teacher just now, and had a disagreement on the behavior of this character.

"Sorry, I really can't understand this paragraph." He said to the national teacher at the time, "Why does she have to let go of everything to bear my love because I love her? I can't understand the so-called despair of not getting a response, On the contrary, I feel that my own behavior is very unreasonable.”

Maybe he couldn't understand the character, he thought, just like he couldn't understand Qiao Mingxi back then.

One by one emails jumped into his mind, and he could almost memorize the content, every word contained a Qiao Mingxi crying.

When he first saw the email, he still felt a sense of suffocation.But soon, he discovered that the last farewell email was not only Qiao Mingxi saying goodbye to him, but also the other party personally holding Qiao Mingxi who was closely following him in the past, which put an end to it.

This is very good, Qiao Mingxi should have his own way, instead of following that person named Ji Yan step by step.

As for Ji Yan who resolutely left at the beginning, even though he finally saw Qiao Mingxi who was walking his own way, he no longer had the position to look back at him.

All the karma in this world is for everyone to taste. Ji Yan walks the road of fulfilling himself, and naturally understands that those things left by him are the losses he must bear from now on.

He laughed at himself, and carefully read a classic scene in the script.The silent phone next to the pillow suddenly lit up, and the strange number with the prefix of country r lit up for dozens of seconds, and then quietly went dark again.

Since accepting "Old Friends Apartment", Qiao Mingxi's pace of life has suddenly accelerated, and time flies by at a fast speed. It has been a long time and two months have come to an end. Although the show has just aired halfway, the recording here has reached the end Expect.

As the closing part, the program team strived for perfection, and specially held a meeting before the recording started to explain the special settings of the last episode.

After the meeting, Qiao Mingxi was about to go back with Xiao Yan when Xue Qiao who came out from behind stopped him.

"Is there someone in your mind?" Xue Qiao walked up to Qiao Mingxi, and took advantage of her height to place her palm on the top of Qiao Mingxi's soft head, "Please invite a good friend for the link."

Qiao Mingxi was very resistant to this action that would make him have special memories, so he tilted his head to the side, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xue Qiao was originally just a random movement, but he was used to it.Seeing Qiao Mingxi like this, he also put down his hands, and said troubledly: "Oh, I don't know either."

"I thought you would have many friends." Qiao Mingxi said slowly.

"It doesn't mean that we can find a suitable candidate in no time." Xue Qiao shrugged, and glanced at his assistant next to him, "Otherwise, let Qiumei go."

The assistant jumped up angrily and beat his chest muscles: "How many times have I told you not to call me ball girl!"

As soon as he landed, he smiled happily and said: "I can go, brother, give me a bonus."

Xue Qiao gave her an expression of "what are you dreaming about?" Qiao Mingxi tilted her head beside her, and then turned to ask Xiao Yan who was walking behind, "Otherwise, you should go too."

"Please forgive me Brother Mingxi." Xiao Yan said weakly, "Two brothers, can you be more serious, the director is holding a knife behind us."

Qiao Mingxi frowned in distress. Apart from Jia En, he really couldn't think of a suitable candidate at all.

Give Jiaen a call tonight.He planned in a daze.

Coincidentally, before Qiao Mingxi remembered to call Shen Jiaen at night, the other party called.

"I know you don't have work today! Come and play!" The other end of the phone was noisy, and Shen Jiaen's excitement could be felt through the receiver.

Qiao Mingxi asked suspiciously: "You sound so happy... The appearance fee has been raised or Lu Yuan has been promoted..."

"No!" Shen Jiaen said loudly, "Where else can he ascend to! Outer space?! I can't tell on the phone, come quickly! I invite you to sing, hurry up!"

He was urging like he was about to take off, Qiao Mingxi had no choice but to agree, greeted Qiao Mingyue, and then took Qiao's car to the address sent by Shen Jiaen.

This is a ktv with a very hidden location, and most of the people who come to spend are entertainers and rich people who prefer to play.

Qiao Mingxi entered the door, and the KTV waiter didn't show any abnormality when he recognized him, and led him respectfully all the way to the box.There are very few people in the hall and corridor, and the orange light is a little dark, even if someone walks by, it is difficult to see the face clearly.

But when a person wearing a peaked cap passed by him, Qiao Mingxi still recognized him.

He stopped, the man was walking too fast, he had disappeared around the corner before he could stop him.

Qiao Mingxi stood quietly for a while, the waiter waited silently in front of him, he smiled apologetically at him, and followed to the box.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Shen Jiaen's inexplicably out-of-tune singing came to her face.

"...The idol singer is dead." Qiao Mingxi complained expressionlessly.

"Mingxi, you are here!" Shen Jiaen was originally standing on the sofa, but when she saw this, she dropped the microphone and rushed towards Qiao Mingxi, "Come and share my joy! Let's sing a duet!"

Qiao Mingxi was staggered by him, and the two of them fell onto the sofa together.A hand reached out and grabbed Shen Jiaen by the back collar, pulling him away from Qiao Mingxi like a small animal.

Qiao Mingxi sat up and looked around the room. There were only him, Shen Jiaen, and Lu Yuan.

"What's wrong with him?" Qiao Mingxi looked at Shen Jiaen who jumped back on the sofa again, who was screaming rather than singing, and asked Lu Yuan suspiciously.

Lu Yuan glanced at Shen Jiaen, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, completely different from the indifference that Qiao Mingxi often saw.

"One sentence will drive him crazy, let him go."

Qiao Mingxi showed doubts, until Shen Jiaen finally returned to normal after being tired from singing, and sat beside him to drink water, then he asked again: "What's wrong with you today?"

Shen Jiaen gulped down a glass of juice, put down the quilt with a "bang", turned her head and smiled "hehehe" at Qiao Mingxi.

Qiao Mingxi: "..."

"Let me tell you." Shen Jiaen leaned over. If he didn't know that he was drinking fruit juice, Qiao Mingxi would almost think he was playing a drunkard, "Lu Yuan's mother... his mother..."

There was a silly smile on his round face, and his whole body was shining like a light.

Qiao Mingxi's heart skipped a beat and he blinked.

"His mother..." Shen Jiaen repeated several times while laughing, and then suddenly opened her hands and shouted, "His mother told me to go back for dinner on weekends!"

Qiao Mingxi thought to himself, "Sure enough," and then became happy.

With a smile on his face, he tilted his head and watched Shen Jiaen collapsed in Lu Yuan's arms like a boneless man: "That's great, Jiaen."

Shen Jiaen and Lu Yuan have been together for more than ten years, and finally Lu Yuan's mother took the initiative to mention it. It is indeed a great thing.

Two of the three were not of a rowdy personality, Shen Jiaen was bouncing up and down on the sofa singing songs with boundless energy, Qiao Mingxi got a headache from his noise, got up halfway and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

He stood in front of the sink and looked at the person in the mirror. The air in the box was stuffy, his face was a little red, and he looked like he had drunk alcohol.

He stood quietly for a while, then suddenly stretched out a finger and pulled the corner of his mouth upwards.

The handsome boy in the mirror showed a weird smile.

Qiao Mingxi tilted her head, amused by herself.

Thinking of Shen Jiaen's eyes shining with joy, Qiao Mingxi's mood also improved.

It turns out that there are so many happy things in this world.

He smiled at himself in the mirror, turned around and prepared to go back to the box.The bathroom door was pushed open at this moment, and two young men came in.

"What's going on with Xiuyan today? Is there a rocket growing on his butt?" One of the men complained, "He left without drinking."

Hearing the familiar name, Qiao Mingxi paused.

The other man laughed "hehe" twice: "You don't know? He recently fell in love with a little... no, a big star, and finally got it today. Who is drinking here with you, an old bachelor?"

"Who? Where are the big stars? There are no big stars on Zhuo Xiuyan's bed, aren't they all little actors who are here to catch up?"

"That's why you don't understand, you think it's precious if you don't catch up. Besides, that Lin guy is really pretty, tsk tsk, when I came here I saw Xiuyan talking to him at the door, just looking at that face It's going to be hard..."

"Bah, shut up, damn gay, is it disgusting?"

The two of them solved their physical problems while talking. One of them turned his head and saw Qiao Mingxi standing not far away. His gaze paused. Qiao Mingxi quickly turned his head away and opened the bathroom door.

He had already confirmed that the person he saw when he came here just now was Lin Zining.

At the same time, the underground parking lot.

Lin Zining lingered in front of a car for a long time, stood up and squatted down, squatted down and stood up again, until after a long time, he took out his phone and looked at the time. It was only a few minutes away from the person who said "wait for me for 10 minutes". It's 2 minutes.

People may not believe it when they say it, but Lin Zining, who debuted nearly nine years ago, is facing the problem of being unspoken for the first time in his life.

He used to feel that he was unlucky, but he was actually very lucky. He debuted as a member of c.air, and with Qiao Mingxi around, they didn't need to drink with investors, and they didn't need to face the eyes of so-called financial backers.

But now, he, who once smashed the head of a salty pig's hand with a wine bottle at a banquet, took the initiative to find Zhuo Xiuyan, a well-known "bad guy" in the northern rich second generation circle, just because the other party was generous, and because he lacked money.

Lin Zining squatted in front of the sports car, the huge parking lot was empty, only a few luxury cars parked sporadically.

He looked at the cars one by one blankly, and the number on the phone jumped again.

1 minutes left.

He stood up abruptly.

In the distance, a car was slowly approaching with its headlights on. The dazzling lights were inexplicably a bit like spotlights at a concert.

Fans say that c.air's facade is a Persian cat, always proud and flamboyant, and even Heizi wants to black him, mostly using reasons like "it's not just because of his good looks".

Lin Zining stared at the ball of light, tears streaming down his eyes.

The car drove by slowly, but no one saw the beautiful young boy in the shadows.

Lin Zining suddenly felt a sense of retreat, and the two villains in his mind had already had an earth-shattering fight.

Forget it.

He pursed his lips and turned to leave.

"Hey."

When a voice came, Lin Zining paused hesitantly, and turned his head to look for the source of the voice.

"I thought you'd be tolerant, but I don't know." The male voice was very low, but his tone was a bit annoying.

Lin Zining turned his head, and the window of an off-road vehicle next to him was lowered halfway. A man was lying lazily in the driver's seat, with his long legs folded on the driver's seat. Hard and fortitude.

——It still looks familiar.

Lin Zining frowned and sized him up. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he had seen this man wearing a camouflage vest and wearing military boots at night.

Seeing his frowning, the man gave him a meaningful look: "Zhuo Xiuyan can't help you."

Lin Zining pursed her lips: "What's none of your business? - Also, have we met somewhere?"

The man glanced at him unexpectedly when he heard the words: "Don't you remember?"

"Why should I remember?" Lin Zining asked angrily, "Who are you? Why do you know about me?"

The man stared at him for a while, then suddenly opened the door and jumped off the off-road vehicle.

He walked up to him, only then did Lin Zining realize that he was surprisingly tall, and the arm muscles exposed by the camouflage vest even made him subconsciously take a step back.

"What are you afraid of?" The man had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it at all, "Could it be that you're really a girl?"

Lin Zining: "...!!!!"

"Who is your sister?"

"Ha, it's not a girl, sorry, sorry."

……

"What's wrong with you? Can you get up?"

"none of your business?"

"What happened to get so angry?"

"roll!"

"Ok."

……

"...It's you." Lin Zining finally remembered who was in front of him.
