we are not friends anymore

Ji Yan opened the door of the attic, it was dusty for too long, the air smelled of dust.The small room can be seen at a glance, and he has to bend down to enter the door.

In fact, there are not many traces of Qiao Mingxi's life in the room, but standing in the center, he still feels that there is a young child sitting on the ground, looking at the door alone day after day.

He went to the window and pushed the window. Too many years had passed, and the old window frame seemed to be broken if he pushed it.He withdrew his hand and glanced downstairs, and found that the area he could see from here was very small. Maybe a small bunch of flowers could come into Qiao Mingxi's sight by chance before, but at this moment, all he could see was a piece of bare soil.

Ji Yan didn't stay here for too long, he locked the door, put the key that Aunt Hui gave him back into his coat pocket, turned around and went downstairs.

The whole building is filled with the quiet atmosphere that has been covered with dust for more than ten years. He almost walked out the door stepping on the dust all over the floor. Ji Yan looked back and guessed that even when there were still people living in the past, there was probably not much here. What a breath of fresh air.

He remembered that black fans used to tease Qiao Mingxi for being "mourned", thinking that he was full of negative energy, and fans who liked him probably had a tendency to be masochistic.

In fact, people often do this, standing in the sun and saying to the people in the shadows, why are you unhappy?The light is so good here, why don't you try to take a few steps?

Ji Yan may have been like this before, he thought Qiao Mingxi was just not motivated enough.He thought that Qiao Mingxi's stubborn rejection of his opportunity and replacement of Lin Zining's resources was just spoiled and playing young master's temper.

In a person who needs patient companionship, he has no patience.

Ji Yan stood in front of this old building for a long time, until dusk gradually fell, he crushed out the cigarette in his hand, and threw the cigarette butt and the whole pack of untouched cigarettes in his pocket into the trash can.

Yi Huan came to Ji Yan's house with beer, but no one came to answer the door after knocking for a long time.He circled to the side suspiciously, poked his head in from the low flower wall, and said to the vague shadow in the swimming pool, "What are you doing? Open the door."

Ji Yan jumped out of the water and came ashore to open the door for him.

Yi Huan looked at his wet shirt and trousers, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter? You suddenly called me to drink, and you're swimming in your clothes?"

Ji Yan wiped the wet hair behind his head, and smiled when he heard this: "It's nothing, I just want to confirm one thing."

Ji Yan changed into dry clothes and went downstairs, Yi Huan was already drinking by the pool, he sat down beside him, and also opened a can of beer.

"You're not in a good mood." Yi Huan said directly, "Because of Ming Xi?"

Ji Yan glanced at him: "How to say?"

"I'm at the company every day, so of course I know that Sister Na has pushed all of Mingxi's recent work." Yi Huan smiled, "Boss Lou hasn't come to the company recently, did something happen to Mingxi's family?"

"Yeah." Ji Yan's hair was still wet, and he didn't speak after taking a sip of wine.

Yi Huan smiled playfully, and Ji Yan turned to look at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Yi Huan shook his head with a smile: "A Yan, you have always been so calm that even I feel ashamed. But now—of course, I just think—your mind is a little messed up."

Ji Yan also smiled very lightly when he heard the words, and he was silent for a while before asking: "What did you think when you left Qin Wan and chose your ideal?"

"Correct me a little bit." Yi Huan said, "I haven't left Wanwan. Love and ideals have never been opposed to each other."

"What is love?" Ji Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, "What I have always loved is my ideal."

Yi Huan shook his head when he heard the words: "I always thought that the problem between you and Mingxi was that you didn't know how to communicate, but now you understand that you don't even understand yourself, how to communicate with him."

After talking, he laughed again: "No one will take care of another person for so many years without love."

Ji Yan said: "It's not that I don't understand, before... I really wanted to walk with him for the rest of my life."

"So have you talked to Ming Xi?" Yi Huan asked, "Have you talked to him as seriously as you talk to me now? I guess not, you just keep analyzing yourself and thinking about what you should do."

"A Yan, you are too calm, don't always think about analyzing yourself, being emotional is not a bad thing at all."

"You're right." Ji Yan said in a deep voice, "Even if I see him in an accident today, I still need to spend time analyzing myself. Unless I want to understand, I can't 'act on emotions'."

"You are now." Yi Huan said with a smile, "Talking to Yue is not what you used to do. What are you hesitating about? In fact, you can't let Ming Xi go, can you?"

"Correct a little." Ji Yan imitated him, "I'm not talking to you, I'm just confirming one thing."

Yi Huan turned to look at him: "Is it confirmed now?"

Ji Yan also looked at him, and suddenly put the beer can in his hand on the ground, and stood up: "Yes."

Looking at the dark night, he bent his lips and smiled.

verified.

Whether it is sympathy and guilt, whether it is the so-called sense of responsibility.

The off-road vehicle stopped in front of the door, Lin Zining jumped out of the car, turned around suddenly and said to the man who was opening the door from the driver's seat: "You just wait here, don't follow."

The man paused when he heard the words, and looked at him with the steering wheel: "Am I a driver in love?"

"No." Lin Zining said, "It's still a bodyguard—the eyes are sharp, if I get photographed today, just wait and see."

After that, he made a grimace, and ran to the door a few steps to ring the doorbell.

The man looked at his back, shook his head and smiled.

Finally, he became lively again, regardless of whether the thorn in his heart has been completely removed, this is a good thing.

Lin Zining rang the doorbell a few times and waited for a while, but no one came to open the door.He was a little confused, and sent a message to Qiao Mingxi when he came. The other party obviously said that he was at home.

Just as he was wondering, the door opened, and several middle-aged men and women with ugly faces came out, followed by a smiling housekeeper.Lin Zining had a face-to-face meeting with these people, but they left without paying attention to him.

Seeing Lin Zining, Aunt Hui smiled and said, "Xiao Lin is here? Come in quickly."

Lin Zining took another look at the few people who had left, followed Aunt Hui into the door, and saw Qiao Mingxi sitting in the living room with a computer on his lap, bowing his head and typing something.

He turned his head when he heard the voice: "You are so fast."

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zining was taken aback by his appearance, and went a few steps to touch his forehead, "You have a fever, my friend."

Qiao Mingxi dodged back: "It's okay, I've retreated a little."

"That's not complete yet." Aunt Hui said, "Don't look at these things, I'll pour you some water and take your medicine."

Qiao Mingxi nodded obediently, put down the computer after replying the last email, and moved aside to signal Lin Zining to sit down.

"Are you... busy?" Lin Zining asked, "Who were those people just now?"

"Bangzhi's uncle." Qiao Mingxi said, "I can't greet you for too long, I'm going to the hospital to see my sister later."

"It's okay, I'll come and see you." Lin Zining said, looking at Qiao Mingxi with beautiful eyes, "I haven't spoken to you since I came back."

"I thought you didn't have a chance to win the song king, so I'm sorry to see me." Qiao Mingxi tilted her head, making a rare joke.

"Who said that?" Lin Zining fell back, "Did you know about the new variety show on Channel 7? You sent me an invitation. There's no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay!"

Qiao Mingxi said slowly: "Although I feel that I should congratulate you at this time, I really don't know what it is."

"TV 7 is more authoritative than Pineapple TV in terms of music." Lin Zining said, "What they want to do is also a music competition. Just wait, I'm still the king of singers!"

Qiao Mingxi smiled: "Then, come on."

"You too." Lin Zining turned to look at him, "If you need help, you can call me."

Under Aunt Hui's supervision, Qiao Mingxi took the medicine obediently, and then went out with Lin Zining, one got into Qiao's car, and the other jumped into the off-road vehicle parked aside.

Qiao Mingxi came to the hospital and went to see Qiao Mingyue first.She was sleeping quietly in the hospital bed surrounded by instruments, Qiao Mingxi always felt that she would slowly open her eyes in the next second, and show him a pale and gentle smile; but looking at it, she felt that she would never wake up coming.

Lou Feng hurriedly came from the other end of the corridor, and when he saw Qiao Mingxi, he asked, "Are those old people in your family looking for trouble with you again?"

Qiao Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Well, they've already been sent away."

"Next time you come back, please inform me directly." Lou Feng frowned and said, "Haunting ghosts, bullying the younger generation."

"It's okay." Qiao Mingxi blinked, "Brother Feng, I can solve it, it won't bother me."

Lou Feng looked at him, smiled suddenly, and patted him on the shoulder in relief: "Okay, as expected of Third Sister's younger brother."

Qiao Mingxi smiled at him, but looked a little sad when she lowered her head.Lou Feng turned his head and glanced at the ward, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Third Sister will be fine."

Qiao Mingxi nodded. In such a situation, they can only comfort each other in this way.

Luna has pushed back all the work that Qiao Mingxi could push in the past few days, so as not to make many partners smile, but as Dongxing's gold medal manager for ten years, these things can't bother her too much.

But on the side of "Bright Moon and Dark Clouds", she encountered difficulties.

The contract between Qiao Mingxi and the crew has already been signed, and the official has already publicized it on the Internet, and the film will be launched almost next month.

But when the Qiao family's matter will be resolved, there is no exact time.

In fact, "Bright Moon and Dark Clouds" is not a top-notch book, but Qiao Mingxi's love for the role of Mosa is in Luna's eyes.This child seldom fought for anything by herself, and she was seldom obsessed with a role. She subconsciously wanted to keep this role for her.

It would be the best if he could play the role, after all, the contract has already been signed, and it would be Dongxing's breach of contract to reject it.But procrastinating day by day like this is not the best way.
