Hedgehog

On the night I left City C, I received a call from a stranger.

I thought it was a harassing call, but when I answered it, I knew who it was from the voice over there.

"Ye Sangqing?"

Ye Sangqing is Bai Yu's wife. The Ye family probably has music genes. Huatian music director Ye Xiao, whose talent is so high that I can hardly match her, is her twin brother.She composes music, and I compose music too. I am very jealous when we meet each other, and she is good at lyrical songs, suitable for a top female singer like Diva Ni Jing. "The Most Loved Person", "Clouds", and "Fireworks in the Day" are all her favorites The songs are all standard pop music, with a square 4/4 structure.The verse is tactful, the chorus is majestic, and progresses layer by layer. The highest note is generally in the third stanza.But I like swordsmanship, "Street Light" is more folk, "Empty Joy" is a bit bluesy, and "Madness" has a heavy rock style, she despises them all.But Bai Yu likes my songs, and gave me the best lyrics. She was so angry that she has always been at odds with me.

"It's me," she always pre-empted: "Why, you haven't starved to death yet?"

"You're not dead, how could I die." I ignored her knives and guns at all: "How did you get reduced to stealing the phone now? Don't meddle in the matter between me and Bai Yu, it's none of your business."

"Why is it none of my business?" She began to show Mrs. Bai Yu's posture: "You bastard, every time you secretly send a song, leave the money and leave, what kind of place are we? A vending machine Is it? We Bai Yu are very busy, every time we deal with your song first, we have never heard you say thank you, are you suitable?"

"If I want to say thank you, I won't tell you. What about Bai Yu? Let him answer the phone. Your own song is too bad, and Bai Yu refuses to fill it out in advance. Is it my fault?"

Ye Sangqing was trembling with anger.

In the past two years, the Chinese music market has been sluggish. Although Ye Sangqing occasionally has a good song, she is unable to recover from it. Ni Jing's new album has hit a record low. My words hit her sore spot.However, when I encountered a bottleneck in Huatian, I happened to meet her during her fertile period, and she laughed at me a lot, at most it was a tie.

"I really want to strangle you to death," she gritted her teeth in hatred, "I'm crazy to let Bai Yu fill in your words first. It's really kind of unrewarding!"

"Oh? That's it, thank you. Call Bai Yu." I said thank you without distraction.

"Why do you keep looking for Bai Yu? He's writing lyrics for you."

"Not yet filled out? Then why did you ask me?" I vaguely noticed something.

There was a moment of silence over there, and then a thick-skinned person like Ye Sangqing said with a little guilt: "Yin Xi is now cut off from the Nie family..."

I hung up the phone without hesitation.

Ten seconds later the phone rang again, I hung up again, and then blocked Ye Sangqing's number, completely eradicating it.

What is more disgusting than experiencing disgusting things is that all the people around you who you value are reminding you every minute, wanting you to forgive the person who disgusted you.

I was not affected by that phone call at all, and went back to Beijing happily.

This month's tasks are basically completed, and the rest of the week is spent resting, so I can't be too happy, I indulge in tenderness every day, and rely on Ji Rongfu's side.I'm too lazy to cook, and I can't bear to watch the little love songs I play all day long.After moving to a bigger place, I went to ride a horse again. This time I started to trot, but I still didn’t learn much. I walked around the lake, and my bones were all broken. I came back with pain for two days.

Ji Rongfu is still very busy, I drive my car over, sometimes I sleep until noon, and go to Ji Rongfu to have lunch with him, in fact, I am more or less popular now, and it is inconvenient to go out, but it is winter already It was almost here, I wrapped up tightly, showed my eyes, and went directly from the elevator in the parking lot to Ji Rongfu's office.The Ji family cherishes him very much now, and they have bodyguards around them all year round, all of whom are retired soldiers. After all, one of them is already in a wheelchair, so he has to be kept no matter what.

Speaking of this, Ji Rongze's yard is actually very close to us, but I have never been there.Ji Rongze is not a good character for me. If you want to see the darkened version of Ji Rongfu, I just go to their negotiating table and watch it.

Ji Rongfu has a special sense of beauty when he works, it doesn't look like he has changed into a different person, just like a lazy leopard suddenly showing its claws, I have occasionally bumped into it twice, it is very amazing.It seems that I'm lucky, I haven't even seen Ji Rongfu without a smile.

When I was young, I admired Lu Yan's sharp-edged appearance more, his shrewdness can be seen at a glance, but later I gradually understood the truth of rigidity and fragility. under the shell.But Ji Rongfu is a good hunter by nature, knowing when to strike and when to hide his edge. I was attracted to him at the beginning, probably because I smelled the dangerous aura under his gentle and elegant shell.

He said that his soul is equal to mine, which probably means that we are actually the same kind of soul, and we don't bother to look at things we don't want even if they are good.What you want, you have to go after all obstacles.Yu said that Lu Yan had a long window of time. I lived for 26 years and finally met Ji Rongfu. I don’t know how to calculate this window of time.

It's a pity that I didn't meet him in the early years. At that time, I was sharper and braver. Now, although I can barely keep the core, I can only give him a shell with countless spikes.

If it was me when I was young, I would have accompanied him to ride a horse for the first time when I went to the racecourse.I will not say those words that seem to be witty and cold and humorous, but they are actually sarcasm, and I will not be too timid to touch new things.

I am not tamed by the years, but frightened.I gradually grew a body of hard thorns, stabbing everyone who dared to approach me.And Ji Rongfu, because he likes me, and because he stretched out his defenseless hand, is more likely to be stabbed and scarred.

I tried hard to be gentler, and then gentler, but it was still in vain, I couldn't control myself, I tried my best to convince myself: Ji Rongfu is different, he is someone I love deeply.

However it never works.

On Friday, before picking up Ji Rongfu from get off work, Ye Ning and I had lunch together.

Ye Ning is a bastard, not to mention the wind and rain in life, he probably has never even seen a cloudy day.On the night we moved here, I received a call from him. He tried his best to pretend to be dying, saying that he was starving to death and wanted to come to my house for dinner.

I said that I have moved, and the beef tofu in the kitchen is about to be out of the pot, and the taste will drop to three levels within 5 minutes, and it is too late to wait for his old man.

As a result, the doorbell rang 2 minutes later, and he and his concubine Xia Huaian stood at the door, all dressed up.

I have seen Xia Huaian twice occasionally. If the Antarctic iceberg can become a spirit, it should look like this. He walks aloofly, tall, with a good-looking body, handsome and cold face, and very beautiful Danfeng eyes. I have seen him in military uniform He looks like a rebellious man with a straight appearance. When he became an adult, he directly resisted the arrangement of his family and went to S City to conquer the world. When everyone was still wondering, he was already engaged to Ye Ning, a family friend, in a flash. .He is already full-fledged, and the Xia family can't really break his legs.

This kind of person followed Ye Ning and learned how to eat.

Ye Ning has the guts to stay in Schrödinger's box all year round. When talking about why he didn't go to City S with Xia Huai'an, he would use the way of a literati and talk about his beliefs all day long.Once it was related to Cengfan, he lived in the house that Xia Huaian bought without saying a word, it was next to us, 2 minutes away, not to mention beef tofu, sushi can be eaten warm.

It was the first time I saw Xia Huaian and Ji Rongfu appear in the same room, the picture was pleasing to the eye, in fact, Xia Huaian went to S City, it should be a mountain without two tigers, didn't I see the picture of Ji Rongfu meeting young people of the same generation, like a gust of wind in a wheat field, Thousands of ears of wheat all bowed their heads.Maybe these two people have already divided their territories, and each of them picked a place.Given their friendship, this is not surprising.

The two contemporaries of Ji Rongfu I know, Zhang Wenbin and Fu Yong, didn't go to any good schools. Zhang Wenbin didn't know that Fu Yong studied abroad, but the only thing I heard from him was all kinds of fanaticism Confused party, and foreign "pilot" culture.

From this point of view, the Ji family and the Xia family were so forward-looking, and they were sent to endure hardship at the age of six or seven, and it was their turn to shine.

After eating, Ye Ning still didn't roll, I stood on the porch outside to blow the air, he was still flirting in front of me, I pushed him away: "What are you doing, haven't you weaned?"

Ye Ning grinned: "I heard you met Ji Rongze?"

"Speak straight."

"Can you go and meet him for me." He did something wrong as soon as he saw it: "He has a painting of the Northern Song Dynasty there, I want to borrow it to have a look."

"You don't know where to go?"

"He doesn't see outsiders. Last time I heard that he went to Ze, I rushed over and didn't see him."

"Take your painting to knock on the door, don't you have the confidence?"

Ye Ning also wanted to die, but he took out a cigarette from nowhere, lit it up and took two puffs, then suddenly asked me: "How about I draw eight feet for you, and you can borrow his paintings for me, don't tell me I just borrow it."

This man looks like a literati when he looks serious. I glanced at him and guessed the reason: "Could Ji Rongze be a master of connoisseurship? What are you afraid of him doing?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just..." He stammered, his long eyelashes drooping, and his beautiful and long eyebrows furrowed: "Wait another two years, it's not enough now."

I want to say more, but when I heard footsteps behind me, Ji Rongze and Xia Huaian came out. Xia Huaian's eyes were extremely sharp, and he looked at the cigarette in Ye Ning's hand at a glance.

Ye Ning had sharp eyes and quick hands, he couldn't help but put the cigarette into my hand, pretended to be cute, and smiled at Xia Huaian, showing his two pointed canine teeth.

Xia Huaian didn't say anything, probably because he was going to go home and settle the score, so he pulled Ye Ning over.

"Let's go." He nodded to Ji Rongfu.

"Goodbye..." Ye Ning didn't know that his death was approaching, so he smiled and waved at me: "Lin Sui, I'm still here for dinner tomorrow, I want to eat quail!"

He really came back the next day, at the time of lunch at twelve noon, he looked very sleepy, and was wearing a blanket that looked like a paddy field outfit. On the sofa: "Dinner hasn't been served yet, I'll go to sleep and call me for dinner."

I couldn't exhaust him, so I ordered Tang's family food to be delivered to my house, and he got up as soon as he smelled the aroma, flattering him while eating: "Lin Sui, you are so good, the takeaway you order is even better than mine."

On the third day, he was locked out of the door by me. On the fourth day, he learned to behave. When the doorbell rang, I looked at the surveillance screen first, and saw a lifelike ink shrimp. He held a painting and pointed it at the surveillance camera, probably It's a new painting, and the ink hasn't been eaten yet.

I don't think it's troublesome, but I have no plans to keep a pet for the time being. Although this pet's paintings are good and good-looking, the first time I saw him, I also regarded him as an independent genius painter. Knowing that it is a foodie who can be cheated by a meal.

He came again on Friday, with a tired face, saying that he had drawn all night, and he didn’t even have the energy to eat. I made chicken tacos with sauce. His movements were as slow as a sloth, slowly rolling up the tortilla, Slowly stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it slowly, and I couldn’t respond to his name. I waited for him to finish eating a roll, threw him into the guest room, and ordered the servant to check on him every once in a while. He was in poor health. It was said that he was seriously ill Have a game.During the re-examination, he ran away from the doctor because he drew a few more paintings during his recuperation period.

I'm probably the only one who won't persuade him to live a regular life. When inspiration comes up, it disappears in the blink of an eye. Should I stop and go to sleep?I often wake up to hear a song I wrote, which is completely unfamiliar as if it was written by someone else, so how can I continue?There are so many people in this world who have lived to be 80 years old in a stable way, one more than me, and one less than a lot, we have our own things to do.

I seldom cook for others, but Ye Ning eats the most. Rather than saying that I want him to paint for me, it’s better to say that I just want him to continue painting. What to paint and who to paint have nothing to do with me.In fact, we don't have many personal relationships. Xia Huai'an is probably the only one in his world, painting, eating, three things, and he doesn't know how to hide it at all. When he likes someone, he talks non-stop all the time. "An'an" "An'an", in order for me to listen to him, and gossip about Ji Rongfu, I was too lazy to chat with him, and threw him out after confirming that he was full.

However, he also revealed a lot of information about Ji Rongfu to me, and even mentioned Lu Yilan once, jokingly said that Lu Yilan and Ji Rongfu had a little overlap when they were studying in the UK, and Lu Yilan returned to China halfway, it seems to be because of family affairs.The Lu family was still playing the movies of the Republic of China, and even wanted Lu Yilan's father to adopt a boy from the Lu family branch.

In this way, I have a deeper respect for Lu Yilan, a woman.

There was a strong wind outside. I drove to Ji Rongfu’s company. Before entering the parking lot, there seemed to be some kind of event in the opposite square. The inflatable arch was about to be blown away. Many people dragged the rope together, and the wind made the banners with the slogans of the event rattle. , The human voice was swept away by the wind as soon as it exited, turning into indistinct fragments, and the whole world was in chaos.

I entered the elevator and went up to the top floor. In the elevator, there was a remnant smell of women's perfume, as strong as an invisible person.

There are not many female employees in Ji Rongfu's company, and there are a few, wearing expensive professional suits, thin, white, with exquisite makeup, like walking robots, all of them are copied out of Yang Yue's genes.

In this kind of weather, it is estimated that they will be blown away by the wind as soon as they go outside the building.

Japanese restaurants are very popular recently. This weather is the weather for eating ramen, hot soup, soft-boiled eggs, eel covered on the noodles, blanched bean sprouts... a bowl of noodles will warm the whole person, I don’t know Will they eat it?

I started cooking to survive, but later I liked to cook. I think cooking is similar to music. They are both the same thing, but different people feel different when they eat it.A really just right meal is like a bowl of beef noodle soup when it’s freezing cold, like the song you heard at the right time, even after many years, when you look back, it feels as clear as if yesterday.

But music can be listened to by 1 people, but the dishes can only benefit the few people who eat it.When we talked about this concept once, Ye Xiao laughed and said that I have roots of wisdom, others are writing songs, and I am crossing people.

It's a pity that from the day I mentioned this idea to now, nothing has been achieved in six years.

When the elevator reached the top, there was a ding, and the door opened. The security guard was still the same old face. I walked along the marble-covered circular lobby. Ji Rongfu's own office only uses a reception desk, and Yang Yue usually guards there. She greeted me. Nod.

"Aren't you in a meeting?"

"It's a few people from the entertainment company, it's not a formal meeting." Yang Yue flipped through the schedule quickly: "There will be a small meeting within the company at six o'clock this afternoon, and then there will be nothing else."

"Then I'll go in." After I finished speaking, I took two steps towards the office and turned around again: "Let's eat ramen after get off work."

Yang Yue was taken aback.

"Mr. Lin, are you with me?" She didn't understand what I meant.

"No, you can go alone, or you can go with colleagues." I recommended to her: "There is a restaurant in Dongzhimen, Yixin Ramen, which is good, and it takes 10 minutes to drive there. It is very windy outside."

"Oh, good." Yang Yue finally came to his senses and smiled at me: "I see, thank you."

I pushed open the door of Ji Rongfu's office.

As I mentioned two days ago, his office has been replaced with a woolen carpet, and the furnishings are much warmer. I really like his books on the entire wall, although most of them are not interesting to me. Last time I found a set of fables in it, bronzing The four corners of the shell are covered with metal, and the illustrations are also very exquisite. I have already seen half of it.Behind Ji Rongfu's desk is a full-length floor-to-ceiling window. It is a gray and windy day outside, and it still looks very cold.

There were two guests, one looked like the introducer, a solid middle-aged man, I met once, he was a fat and decent type, wearing a three-piece suit with a pocket watch chain on the vest, the other was very thin, not It is very tall, about the same as me, with dark suits. There are roughly two types of young people in this world who wear suits well.Another kind of person looks like a decent butler, exquisite and well-mannered, but it is not the master at first glance.

There are many hereditary insiders, and hereditary butlers are rare.

I knew who he was before he turned his head.

However, when he looked back, he still had thick glasses and a thin face, as if he had suffered a serious illness. Everyone said that he came out of Nie's house, but I didn't believe it.

When he saw me for the first time, surprise appeared on his face, and infinite guilt, timidity, and remorse poured out instantly... All kinds of emotions were intertwined, because he is a person who rarely shows his emotions, so this scene is very rare.

Too bad I have no interest in watching him perform anymore.

"Get out." I looked indifferent and pointed at the door: "I'll give you three seconds."

The introducer looked surprised, and Ji Rongfu behind the desk also stood up. He probably has never seen me look so vicious, but it doesn't matter, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, and it's better to see me sooner.

Yin Xi stood up from his chair hastily. His documents were still spread out on Ji Rongfu's desk. His fingers were trembling. He wanted to put the documents away and stuff them into his office bag, but his movements were clumsy. I went straight over and picked up his papers and grabbed him by the collar.

"I..." He glanced at me, countless emotions intertwined in the distorted black eyes behind the thick lenses, his lips trembled, as if soaked in hot wax, and he was speechless.

However, I didn't give him a chance to speak, so I dragged him to the door, opened the door, took him with the documents, and threw him outside. He was as thin as a person recovering from a serious illness, and fell directly on the smooth marble. On the floor, the documents were scattered, like a heavy snowfall, he struggled to get up, but staggered a bit.Yang Yue stood up from behind the table in surprise, wearing slender high-heeled shoes and wanted to help him, but when she saw the expression on my face standing at the door, she withdrew her hand in fright.

The fat introducer stood up.

I am so vicious, but Ji Rongfu allows the situation to develop, he naturally sees the situation.But he probably claimed to be righteous, and when he walked away from me, he still taught me in a decent way: "Young man, when you are proud, you have to leave a way for others to survive."

For this kind of people who want to uphold justice, I have never bothered to count the past events like Mrs. Xianglin and let them judge right from wrong. I have always only had one sentence.

"roll."

I slammed the door heavily, and saw Ji Rongfu who had already walked beside me.

It was rare to see worry in his eyes.

"Want to talk?" He looked into my eyes, amber eyes as clear as the sky.

"Do not want to."

"it is good."

He turned around and walked to the wine cabinet, and poured wine for me. The liquid in the square glass was also a beautiful amber color. I took it and drank it down.Handed him the cup again.

After drinking three cups, I curled up in the sofa chair, and even the chair that Yin Xi sat on was uncomfortable for me, and I kicked it to one side.

Ji Rongfu dragged the overturned chair away to prevent me from tripping when I got up, covered me with a blanket, and then half-knelt down beside me.

I was drunk and felt guilty, avoided his eyes, and scratched the dark deer embroidered on the blanket with my fingers.

He held my hand, the temperature in his palm was very warm, and his eyes were gentle, as if I wasn't the madman who suddenly drove away his guests. For a moment, I almost wanted to cry, but I held back.

"Is it cold?" He reached out to touch my cheek, brushing the hair out of my eyes for me: "You still don't want to talk?"

I shook my head.

"Then let me say a few words, okay?"

I nodded.

"The person you kicked out came to invite me to invest in their new company, which is engaged in entertainment, film and television. Now only I and the Ning family are interested. If you don't want to see him again, and don't want me to cooperate with them, I'll just say no to them, okay?" He stroked my hair like a child.

I rolled up the blanket and curled up in the sofa chair, just wanting to fall asleep at this moment.

That name is like a plague, as long as it gets contaminated with his things, I will throw them away without hesitation, Ye Xiao, Su Qi, Ye Sangqing...

I like Ji Rongfu so much, but when he mentions Yin Xi, I still don't want to hear a word.

Ji Rongfu was very helpless with my passive resistance, sighed, and tidied the blanket for me, lest I suffocate to death inside.

Then I heard him on the phone, asking Yang Yue to reject Yin Xi.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, Ji Rongfu came back from the meeting and found that I was awake.

I woke up, but the alcohol still didn’t wake up. The whole portrait turned into a glass bottle full of wine, and my emotions were magnified. When I saw the gloomy weather outside, I felt very angry. I picked up the fable and read it. The result One missed and landed on the face.

When Ji Rongfu came in, I was staring at a kind of wine that I had never seen before on the wine cabinet, while rubbing my cheek that was hit.

"Let's go eat ramen." I told him as soon as he came in.

"Isn't it impossible to eat food that is too hot?" He put the bottle of wine in it, lest I couldn't help drinking it.

"I want to eat ramen." I told him seriously.

"it is good."

"Don't go to Yixin Ramen, you will meet Yang Yue." I complained to him: "Yang Yue sees you like a mouse seeing a cat, and will have indigestion."

He laughed and said "yes" again.

I raised my eyes to look at him, and suddenly felt that he was extremely handsome, probably because the shirt he was wearing today was too light in color, which made his complexion like jade. I like to see his long and straight browbones, and he frowned while working. Lips are also beautifully shaped.He is like the only candy in the world, peeling off the beautiful candy wrapper, the soul inside is actually my favorite taste.

I curled up in the couch and watched him intently.He caught my gaze and looked up.

"Ji Rongfu, what if I suddenly kiss you now?"

He stood up and walked towards me, against the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the cloudy sky didn't seem so ugly.

He bent down and kissed my cheek, then the corner of my lips.

He said: "The consequence is probably that the time you arrive at the ramen shop today will be an hour late..."

I couldn't help laughing because I thought of a new way to die.

I said, "Is it only an hour?"
