Xia Yizhou

Bai Ze picked out a bunch of ingredients and came back, Xia Yizhou wanted to go over and help him, but he refused, Bai Ze pointed to the sofa with a kitchen knife and said, "Sit there and rest, watch TV, you Today is your birthday birthday, you don’t have to do anything, just wait for what’s ready.”

Xia Yizhou couldn't do it, Bai Ze was very good at washing, choosing and cutting vegetables, and he didn't have a chance to help himself at all, so Xia Yizhou could only sit on the sofa, and as soon as he sat down, little Cindy lay on his lap, stood up and grabbed His clothes meowed, Xia Yizhou had a relaxed expression on his face, he gently picked up little Cindy, rubbed its face, and purred in his arms.

When Bai Ze heard the cat meowing, he looked back. The scene in front of him made him warm as if holding a hot water bag to his chest in the winter. He had dreamed of such a scene countless times.I cook for myself for my beloved, and my beloved sits on the sofa not far away smiling so comfortingly, eating together, watching TV together, and playing with pets together, if he hadn’t left back then, now Everything that was dreamed of has already come true.

Bai Ze turned back and clenched the knife in his hand, as if this would make him feel better, he must find out the reason why Xia Yizhou left that year, otherwise he might really have no chance at all.

Xia Yizhou got up with his arms around Cindy, took out the small bowl that he usually feeds her, poured some milk into it, and while chopping vegetables, Bai Ze said: "At the beginning you really wanted to raise a cat, I remember I gave you a puppet What's the cat's name?"

"It's called Zhouzhou."

"Yes, it was Zhouzhou, but you were too busy at that time, and you didn't have a chance to take care of it yourself, so you could only foster it at your friend's house."

"It is said to be in foster care, but it is no different from other people's cats. I can only visit it in my free time, buy some food and play, and send it over. Sometimes I think that you really shouldn't give it to me. Basically, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities, how is it doing now?”

"Died a few years ago."

Xia Yizhou's eyes drooped, he walked back to the sofa with the milk in his hand, and put the bowl on his lap, little Cindy wished he could bury his head in it, and drank the milk.

"I'll give you another puppet cat, and keep this little guy as a companion."

"No, I only need one of them."

Little Cindy seemed to understand Xia Yizhou's words, raised her head and licked her mouth, rubbed against Xia Yizhou's hand, lowered her head and continued to drink milk.

Bai Ze was a little disappointed, Xia Yizhou intentionally or unintentionally wanted to distance himself from him, and refused to give him any chance to make him look forward to.

The sound of the frying pan and the sound of the range hood temporarily broke the embarrassment. Bai Ze was cooking seriously, and Xia Yizhou was sitting on the sofa and stroking Cindy's hair. The two of them each occupied a corner. Did not speak again.

Half an hour later, the meal was ready, five dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, bright in color, tangy in aroma, and two dishes seemed troublesome.

"Try it. I like to study recipes when I have nothing to do at home these years. They are all your favorite flavors. Eat them while they are hot."

Xia Yizhou took a sip, and it was indeed his favorite taste, every dish was his favorite.

His hands trembled a little, fearing that he might not be able to hold the chopsticks, so he temporarily put them down, pretending that he was chewing the food in his mouth attentively, and the little Cindy, who was sitting on his lap, poked his head, moved his nose and stretched his neck.

"Zhouzhou be good, you can't eat these, you are too young."

"It's called Cindy."

"But I want to call it Zhouzhou, a Mandarin name and a foreign language name, it doesn't conflict, right, Xiao Zhouzhou."

Bai Ze stretched out a finger to tease it, and Cindy narrowed her eyes comfortably.

"Eat fast, Zhou'er, you are so thin, eat more."

For some reason, Xia Yizhou felt a tightness in his chest. He wanted to cry but couldn't cry. Looking around, this is Emgrand International, which is Barnes' territory. They are not the stunned young people who were full of expectations for the future when they first met nine years ago.

Bai Ze is now an internationally renowned actor, but what about himself?

He was tied to Barnes, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he was tied to Barnes, he got on a thief boat, and when the boat capsized, he thought he had a chance to escape, but he didn't expect his own There are iron chains tied to his hands and feet, and the other end of the iron chain is in the hands of the owner of the pirate ship, so he can't run even if he wants to.

Now this pirate ship has put on a new look and started a legitimate business, but it has been attacked by other pirate ships, and there are waves of ups and downs. I am afraid that even Barnes himself does not know when the end will be.

"Don't be so nice to me, it's useless." Xia Yizhou took a deep breath and said to stabilize his emotions.

"Eat vegetables, don't talk about these things, eat vegetables, today is your birthday, let's not talk about unhappy things." Bai Ze picked vegetables for Xia Yizhou, and said in a relaxed manner.

"Then when do you want to talk? When will you be willing to face reality."

Bai Ze put down his chopsticks and said with a wry smile, "Facing reality? What reality do you want me to face? The reality you want to leave me? How do you want me to face this reality."

"You are a big fool, do you know that? You refuse to face reality, and you are the one who gets hurt in the end, do you know that?"

"Why do you think I'm bound to get hurt? There's only one reason it's going to break my heart, it's going to hurt me, and that's you're not in love with me, you're in love with that Steve Barnes! Are you going to get me hurt? Or Have you let me get hurt?"

Xia Yizhou's answer is irrelevant when he speaks this sentence, his answer can make him go to heaven or he can go to hell, whether he lives or dies depends on his words.

"I can't be with you. Whether I love him or not, I am tied to the same boat with him. You have seen what happened today. Do you want to live in fear every day like me?"

"You didn't answer me directly, Xia Yizhou, please answer me directly!"

Seriously calling Xia Yizhou by his full name, only when Bai Ze felt that he needed a reasonable explanation would he do so.

"Answer positively? How do you want to hear me answer? Why are you all forcing me to ask the same question?" Xia Yizhou stood up from the table with a little impatience on his face.

Bai Ze's heart felt cold, Xia Yizhou refused to answer directly, and avoided this question. From his words, it revealed that he was not the only one who asked him this question. What does this mean?It shows that in the eyes of others, he also showed obvious feelings for Barnes.

If Barnes was really just his mission and he hated him to the bone, would he have rushed to save him so desperately that day.

There was a moment of silence between the two, the dishes on the table were slowly getting colder, the heat gradually stopped rising, and the only sound in the room was Cindy's meowing.

"Sit down and eat, the food is getting cold." Bai Ze finally gave in, and said to Xia Yizhou whose back was facing him stiffly.

"Bai Ze, let's go."

Xia Yizhou really couldn't finish this meal, the awkward atmosphere, the awkward topics, the conversation between the two started when Bai Ze wanted to reminisce about the past, and finally ended with Barnes, Xia Yizhou couldn't continue to feel at ease again. Having dinner with him, there is no way to turn to face him again.

A meal that could have been finished with peace and harmony, messed up.

"You don't even want to finish this meal with me." Bai Ze got up, walked towards the door after saying this, stopped at the door and looked at Xia Yizhou, still with a cold back.

Bai Ze gripped the doorknob, opened the door and walked out.

After the door was closed, Xia Yizhou's tense body relaxed, and he slowly sat on the sofa, staring at the table of food with blank eyes, Cindy grabbed his trousers, trying to call his attention.

Bai Ze didn't leave immediately, but leaned his back against the door. How did he come to this point? He still remembered all the good things seven years ago very clearly. How could everything be different after seven years?

Bai Ze took out his mobile phone and called up a video. Xia Yizhou looked at the camera with his head on his head, blinked his big eyes, then stepped back and said, "Happy birthday, big fool! Since tomorrow night at twelve o'clock You are on the plane, so I recorded this video for you, happy birthday, stay safe abroad! Don’t flirt with girls everywhere, think about me, think about the washboard at home!"

After speaking, he picked up the guitar at the side, and began to play and sing affectionately. The singing voice was melodious and pleasant, his eyes were tender and watery, and the naughty little tongue that popped out from time to time gently moistened his lips, and the moist lips gleamed seductively. shine.

This man was once his own, his own!Why leave!Why!If I didn't leave him, I wouldn't become what I am now, I wouldn't meet Barnes, I wouldn't get further and further away from myself, why on earth!Why!

"Mr. Bai, have you finished eating with Mr. Xia?"

Bai Ze raised his head, and Benson stood in front of him, turned off the video and put away his phone calmly, and was not in the mood to answer, just nodded at him, turned around and was about to leave.

"Mr. Bai, I have something to give you, it may be a gift for you."

When Bai Ze turned his head, Benson smiled and handed him a USB flash drive.

"What?" Bai Ze didn't pick it up immediately, but asked cautiously.

"It's a gift. Mr. Barnes asked me to hand it to you. He said that you will thank him after reading it."

With a decent smile on Benson's face, he looked at Bai Ze without any aggression. Bai Ze hesitated for a while, and finally took it and left the hotel.
