not because of love

The day of the party.

The size of the small auditorium is not large, and the seats are not too many. It can accommodate up to two to 300 people.

This time Yan Lei was pulled temporarily to warm up the scene, and the only people who knew about it were the person in charge and Li Che. Fortunately, Yan didn't get the news, and he didn't make a big fanfare or even use media power to pay attention to Yan Lei like last time.

Yan Lei had already changed into costumes and put on makeup. He was wearing a white knight uniform, dark brown boots, dark blue silver-rimmed metal buttons on his chest, and dark blue epaulettes with a gold thread border.The makeup is not too heavy, but it fully reveals Yan Lei's advantages of big eyes and high nose bridge.

Li Che and Yan Lei stood together under the stairs on the side of the stage, Yan Lei was waiting to go on stage, Li Che was waiting to see Yan Lei go on stage.

After the hostess finished her opening remarks, she finally invited Yan Lei.

Yan Lei raised his eyebrows at Li Che: "Applause for me."

Li Che smiled knowingly: "You don't need to remind me, definitely."

Yan Lei sang an English song this time. The melody of the chorus part was more exciting and slightly difficult. Yan Lei soared high-pitched presumptuously, and even sang a bit of an opera, which fully demonstrated his solid singing skills.In the middle of singing, he squatted down and put the microphone on the ground. The light changed leisurely, from warm to cool. Yan Lei smiled slyly at the audience, and suddenly reached out to button his collar, and pulled his coat away , revealing a white shirt with a large neckline.

The audience roared.

The music was changed to a classical dance piece, Yan Lei took off his coat and threw it towards the auditorium, and started dancing.

He once again shocked the audience. He no longer sang ballads, and the type of dance was Latin. Everyone who saw his first performance was surprised.

What else does Yan Lei not know?

Li Che couldn't look away at all.

Suddenly he understood the meaning of Song Zhicheng's words, Yan Lei, he was really born to live under the spotlight.

"Ah Che." Tang Jia patted Li Che's shoulder.

Li Che recognized Tang Jia's voice, but he didn't want to turn his head: "Tang Jia, how do you know that Yan Lei will be performing today?"

"The person in charge is friends with my younger sister. My younger sister has seen Leilei, so she mentioned it to me. I asked about the time and came over." The person who spoke was Cheng Xiao.

"Your sister has met Yan Lei?"

"You forgot that you were at KTV when school just started..."

"I remembered it, I remembered it, stop talking..."

Cheng Xiao smiled, "Look how confident Leilei is when he smiles!"

Yeah, how happy and confident he is smiling.

Li Che bent his lips.

Li Che's expression was in a trance, and he didn't even know that Yan Lei had stepped down. Yan Lei took the microphone and lightly touched Li Che's forehead: "What are you thinking?"

"I miss you." Li Che touched his forehead.

"What about me just now?" The smile on Yan Lei's face has not yet restrained, and his self-confidence seems to emanate from the inside out. It’s a bitch tossing and turning, but I didn’t dare to dance Latin in public, fortunately, at most I didn’t dance on the stage at the time, and I kept learning and didn’t give up, ha, isn’t it sexy enough?”

Li Che laughed out loud, glanced at Yan Lei's "big V-neck", and said, "That's right, when you threw down the coat, the little fans went crazy."

"Oh, you're still a little girl! Then what are you? Girlfriend?"

"It's your uncle!"

"Come on! Uncle Li!" Yan Lei leaned over slightly, doing the gesture of putting a towel on the shoulders of the waiter in the ancient shop.

Li Che gave him a push: "Okay, stop playing and change your clothes. I'll treat you to dinner."

"Candlelight dinner?" Yan Lei's eyes lit up.

"If you don't want to change, let's go back to the dormitory and order takeaway."

Yan Lei immediately disappeared in front of Li Che, and rushed backstage without looking back.

Li Che followed slowly, and Yan Lei was taking off his makeup. Fortunately, there were a few girls in charge of makeup in the background, who were very enthusiastic to help Yan Lei.

"Just now, Cheng Xiao and Tang Jia also came to see you, but you left when you were about to come down. It seems that Cheng Xiao's sister told him to go out. She didn't tell me what she was doing. They asked me to tell you, sing It's a great dance, it's perfect, impeccable." Li Che helped Yan Lei hold the clothes he was going to change, and stood leisurely against the wall with his head tilted, and he said a word verbatim by the way.

Yan Lei sat in front of the make-up mirror with his eyes closed, waiting for the girl who helped him to remove his make-up: "Oh, what do I need to say? I know it too!"

The little girl next to her smiled, blushing, but said nothing.

"What time is it, are there any seats for us to eat?" Yan Lei opened one eye.

Li Che took out his phone and looked at it: "It's a quarter past seven, I don't know, it's still early anyway, you can eat wherever you say, wait when it's full, and change places if you can't wait."

"That's great, I'm sure I won't save money with you, I found out that you are a rich second generation! Linhai villa is just to buy it!" Yan Lei also clapped his hands.

Li Che didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Hey, why are you so anxious to take off your makeup! Aren't you going out to watch the show?" A female voice and footsteps came from outside the door at the same time.

The girl who came in was very beautiful, with flaxen long curly hair, a white off-the-shoulder dress, and black stiletto shoes. She was Su Wanyu, the host tonight.

"Hurry up, girls, check if my face is oily, come and touch up my makeup!" She said and found an empty seat to sit down.

"No oil, no oil, very beautiful!" The girl who helped Yan Lei remove makeup shouted.

"Really? Then I'll go and wait!" Su Wanyu hurriedly stepped on her high heels and ran out again.

The girl shook her head helplessly: "She has come in several times, why is she so beautiful and not confident about her face?"

"Where is the lack of confidence!" Yan Lei stood up, ready to wash his face: "That's obsessive-compulsive disorder!"

After washing her face and changing her clothes, she was about to leave when Su Wanyu came in again. Seeing that Yan Lei had even changed into her own clothes, she quickly came over and grabbed him: "Are you going to leave? Don't! The children's performance is short! It will end at 08:30! We have agreed on a celebration banquet for all members, so you are not allowed to run away!"

"Don't, people are waiting for me!" Yan Lei raised his chin in Li Che's direction, Li Che was still standing against the wall, expressionless.

Su Wanyu ran to grab Li Che in her high heels again: "Hello, hello, well, can your friend have a meal with us... Everyone is very grateful to him for coming today, without him total……"

Li Che's cell phone rang, and when he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Li Che turned off the sound and ignored it: "Sorry, just keep talking."

Su Wanyu really continued, as if she hadn't been interrupted just now: "I don't think that's the case, don't you think? Or are you with us? You are Yan Lei's friend, and you must be very special." Let's get to know each other too, and see if we have the opportunity to do each other a favor in the future..."

Just as Li Che was about to speak, his phone vibrated again. When he saw that it was still the same number, he hung up immediately, "Continue talking."

"Speak? I can't say it anymore, I have to go!" Su Wanyu ran out with her skirt in her hands, and when she reached the door, she turned her head and shouted to Yan Lei, "Don't go, you have to come ! It's done!"

"Say something, it's done!" Yan Lei looked confused: "Why didn't you say this earlier, ouch!"

"Indeed, they specially came to our courtyard to invite you to participate in their performance. They must appreciate that you want to get to know you. It's hard to have a celebration banquet. You can't go if you don't. Don't let everyone look forward to it in vain." Li Che laughed She smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go to Tang Jia, I heard that Cheng Xiao has something to talk to his sister, now Tang Jia is staying alone, isn't that just right?"

"Are you serious...?"

Li Che nodded.

"Then... I'll take you out."

Li Che's mobile phone screen was on, but Li Che still didn't care: "No need, I'm at school, can I still get lost? You can rest here for a while, see you tonight."

Yan Lei wanted to hug Li Che, but at least there were outsiders in the dressing room, so he could only hold back: "See you tonight."

After leaving the small auditorium, I realized that it was a little windy.Li Che buttoned up his coat, turned on his phone to check the temperature, to see if it was going to cool down tomorrow, he had to remind Yan Lei to add some clothes.

As soon as the phone was unlocked, I saw two missed calls and one unread text message.

The missed call was from that strange number, Li Che knew it, but this text message...?

Li Che opened it, but was stunned in place.

"Xiao Che, hello, maybe you don't know me, but I miss you very much, I wonder if I can treat you to dinner? I didn't answer the call, maybe I'm busy, sorry to bother you! But I really hope you I can come! The address is the hotel across the road from the back gate of Nanda University, I will wait for you at any time, I am Li Jing."

Li... Li Jing?

Li Che's fingers holding the phone were already turning red from the wind, but he didn't realize it.

He knew that he had a sister since he was a child, but he only knew about it. He had never met or contacted her, and all of a sudden, they all appeared. It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked.Fortunately, he didn't resist this sister very much. After all, Li Shi abandoned him back then, and it had nothing to do with Li Jing, who was still a toddler. Li Jing had never met his mother for so many years. Speaking of it, they were the same of.

Taking a deep breath, he wrapped his collar tighter, and walked towards the back door.

There is only one large-scale hotel out the back door of NTU, so there is no need to look for it.

Li Che went in, asked the waiter, the waiter made a gesture, he looked over, and saw the familiar person on the booth who should have been unfamiliar.

Li Jing hung his coat aside, only wearing a gray woolen skirt, with his long hair hanging behind his head, from a distance, he could only see his profile, but he still felt beautiful.

Li Che pursed his lips, walked over quickly, and sat down opposite Li Jing.

Li Jing was startled: "Xiao, Xiao Che?! When did you come? I was still looking out the window and waiting for you..."

Li Che showed an inconspicuous smile: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient to answer the phone just now, I just saw the text message and came over, I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay, I haven't been here for long!" Li Jing pushed the menu in front of Li Che: "I've actually ordered some, but I don't know what you like to eat. You can add some of your favorite dishes."

Li Che smiled slightly, with a sense of alienation in his politeness: "No, just order it."

"Uh...then, before the food is served...let's talk?"

"Ok."

"Don't...don't be so...I'm sorry, actually I don't know what to say. I didn't return to China on the same day as my father. I only found out that he had met you during the day, so I hurriedly asked my mother for it. Contact information... I want to see you, but I don't know if I'm bothering you..." Li Jing smiled, his eyes were worried, and he was still holding the empty glass on the dining table tightly, looking a little nervous.

"I'm not busy, so I won't bother you." I have to say, he really doesn't hate this... Sister, at least when communicating, she won't be like Li Shi, who is obviously angry but has to bear it.

"Okay, okay, that's good, that's good." Li Jing laughed, two round dimples appeared on his cheeks, "I will work in China from now on, and it just so happens that the US side needs to transfer people over, so I applied quickly Yes, haha, fortunately it was approved, otherwise I might have to resign!"

"Do you work in Dongcheng?" Li Che asked.

Li Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, my mother and I have agreed, she told me not to live in a hotel, and move in with her quickly, I also went to see it at home, it's great! You can watch it every day ocean!"

Li Che was a little surprised that his mother accepted Li Jing's sudden return so quickly: "Oh...that's it."

"You... If you don't want me to live in it, I can rent a house myself. Don't worry, I have a job and I will make money. I..."

"No, no, sister, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"What do you call me?!" Li Jing patted the table and stood up.

Li Che's eyebrows moved: "Calm down."

"I, I, I, I, I... No, that, ah, that's... Then what... Right?" Li Jing scratched her hair: "I thought you would hate me..."

"do you hate me?"

"Why me, how is it possible! I like you so much!" Li Jing shouted like a confession.

"That's it, I don't hate you either." Like?Just wait and see later.
