Keeping up with the dry brother

Duan Zhe sat at the dining table, slowly cutting the steak.It is his favorite medium-rare, with a bright red color leached along the blade of the knife, and the mouth is very smooth and chewy.The lemon slices are fresh and slightly salty, and they are really bright in the white porcelain.

The red wine in the goblet was soft in the mouth, and Duan Zhe praised: "It tastes good."

Qiao Yi sat across from him, her drooping eyelashes casting deep shadows under her eyes as she finely sliced ​​the steak.Wen Yan looked up at him and smiled.

Duan Zhe came to Qiao Yi's place today and was treated grandly.Duan Zhe has become accustomed to the casual and relaxed relationship between the two for a long time. He is different from other benefactors.

Duan Zhe reached for the wine bottle, his eyes touched the year, and said, "Hey, what does this mean today?"

The wine bottle was placed in front of Qiao Yi, and Duan Zhe pointed at the year with his fingertips: "I'm cooking Western food and I'm taking red wine from the same year as my voice. Why, this is a sex change. I know how to please you." Me?"

Qiao Yi shrugged. With a casual and indifferent elegance, he said, "I'm not busy with work recently. I have time to pay attention. Don't you like it?"

Duan Zhe looked at him for two seconds and smiled: "I like it, of course I like it." The pasta not far from his plate was steaming hot, and the aroma of seafood was very attractive.Duan Zhe stretched out his fork and stirred some noodles to put them on his plate, but the noodles were slippery, and he managed to get some out and dropped them on the table.

Duan Zhe looked at the slight distance between the noodles and his own plate, and smacked his lips regretfully: "Chopsticks are more convenient."

Noodles with pepper sauce and oysters were placed on his plate with a pair of chopsticks. Qiao Yi casually withdrew his hand and said to himself: "Do you think you can eat it?"

"Tsk, Comrade Qiao Yi," Duan Zhe pointed at him with the end of his chopsticks, "You can't be proud of a little credit!"

Qiao Yi drank the red wine slowly, and suddenly said, "The house lacks candles."

"What do you need candles for?" Duan Zhe asked, "The power is cut off? Or does Auntie want to use it?"

Qiao Yi: "...that's what's missing here." He turned his head and said, "I want to prepare a bit."

"Oh." Duan Zhe nodded: "That's easy to say. The head of the audit department, Zhou, is dead. I'll go to his house and bring you some along the way."

"......" Qiao Yi: "It's not funny at all!"

Duan Zhe smiled very happily. He looked very relaxed and said lazily: "Qiao Yi, I'm sharing good news with you." He sighed: "It's a pity that you don't understand."

At this time, the long distance between the two is clearly displayed.And Qiao Yi hated this.

After eating and drinking, Duan Zhe put down his chopsticks and said with emotion: "I never thought you would do this again. You shouldn't be an actor, you should be a Michelin-starred chef."

Qiao Yi ignored him.

Duan Zhe picked up a piece of macaroni and said, "Actually, I still like to eat Chinese food. After all, this foreign food is not suitable for Chinese people."

The creamy mushroom soup on the table was never touched except for Qiao Yi's bowl.

Before Duan Zhe left the dining table, he heard Qiao Yi asking: "Are you coming tomorrow?" He didn't care: "You should be free, I'm not sure."

The next day, Duan Zhe looked at the winter melon pork ribs soup, fried black truffle, pineapple shrimp balls, fried pork and scallion egg pancakes on the table, and silently put down his chopsticks.

Qiao Yi seemed a little interested: "Eat, why don't you eat?"

Duan Zhe said: "Tell me, Qiao Yi, is there anything you lack recently? A car, a watch, or something? Could it be that your manager offended someone? Not at all, I think that kid is quite shrewd... Or is there no investment in movies? I said, why do you only like literary and artistic movies? Making money is king these days. Those movies talk about art. Last time I went to the cinema to watch one, and I fell asleep halfway through watching it. I almost caught a cold.. ...."

Qiao Yi: "......" He picked up a shrimp ball and stuffed it into Duan Zhe's eloquent mouth, and started to eat lunch calmly.

"The taste is okay..." Duan Zhe asked thoughtfully, "Aren't you filming today?"

Qiao Yi ignored him, chewing the rice slowly in small bites.

Although Duan Zhe was puzzled, he felt that Qiao Yi seemed to be in a good mood, so he didn't take it too seriously.There was not much time for the two of them to sit and eat together, Qiao Yi ran here and there, Duan Zhe was on a business trip, and most of the time they woke up on the big hotel bed, eating the service meal in the living room relatively silently.Either in the only time, Duan Zhe took Qiao Yi out to eat some delicious food, and lived the world of two people.

Qiao Yi finished eating early.He eats very little, especially the staple food.It is necessary for him to maintain his body as an actor.On this point, Duan Zhe is completely military-style, with a large appetite and fast speed, and most of the food belongs to him.

The fruit is on the coffee table in the living room. Duan Zhe is very busy today. He had previously rushed to work and saved up vacation time to travel with Duan's mother Chen Yi.

Duan Zhe looked at Qiao Yi who was flipping through the newspaper by himself, and said, "Your mother is going tomorrow too, do you have to accompany her?"

The newspaper Qiao Yi was holding was placed on his lap, his legs were gracefully crossed, his eyes remained on the newspaper, and he slowly scanned every line and every word.

He is from Z Academy, so he should be regarded as an art student.But Qiao Yi always gives people the impression of a gentle scholar, probably because of his calm and introverted personality.

Qiao Yi often hits the point in what he says and does, but leaves room for it.Because of this, Duan Zhe felt that Qiao Yi was smart.But he didn't like Qiao Yi's sensitive and thorough feeling of superiority, such as at this moment - Qiao Yi probably felt that Duan Zhe's question was nonsense, so he ignored it.

"Be careful tomorrow, be careful not to be recognized by others, big star." Duan Zhe said.

The newspaper in Qiao Yi's hand turned another page.He seemed to be very comfortable when he was nestled in the sofa. He would read scripts all afternoon, and he could concentrate on watching boring TV, with colorful and complicated lights floating in his eyes.

The phone beside him buzzed.

Qiao Yi glanced at it, it was Duan Xi's call.Duan Zhe was sitting on the other side of the sofa, looking at him with a half-gnawed apple in his hand.

Qiao Yi remained calm.

Duan Xi asked pleasantly after the call was connected: "How is it? Have you cooked for him?"

Qiao Yi: "Yes."

"It worked well, didn't it?"

Qiao Yi glanced at Duan Zhe, Duan Zhe looked at him, and took a bite of the apple.Qiao Yi looked away: "That's it."

"That's it? Isn't she very moved?"

"No," Qiao Yi smiled, "He has a rough nerve."

"If a boy is willing to cook for her himself, most girls will be very touched, right?" Duan Xi was depressed: "The one you like is really... hard-hearted."

"It doesn't count, he just..." Qiao Yi turned over a page of the newspaper, staring at the back cover of the newspaper, he could feel Duan Zhe's inquiring eyes, "The EQ is relatively low."

Duan Xi said: "For two days in a row, I cook her western food for romance and Chinese food for her hobby, the next step is to confess, right?"

Qiao Yi quickly said, "I think it's too early."

Duan Zhe was alert, and asked with great interest, "What's too early?"

"...We have to proceed step by step when exploring the true inner thoughts of the characters." Qiao Yi said: "We still have a lot to do."

"So academic?" Duan Xi said: "But, brother, you are chasing your girlfriend, is filming really useful?!"

"I think I know him better." Qiao Yi said seriously, "I'm serious and want to do this well."

Duan Xi: "...Cool! Brother, you are so slow, just for your attitude towards feelings, Ning Xin and I will help you to the end!"

Qiao Yi said lightly: "Thank you."

Duan Zhe watched Qiao Yi put down the phone, and asked very puzzled: "What are you and Duan Xi talking about?"

Qiao Yi: "...How do you know it's Duan Xi?"

"Your phone is leaking. I can hear a little sound." Duan Zhe threw the apple core, drew a parabola, and fell into the trash can accurately. Call up?"

"She stayed in the crew every day, and the director gave her a small role." Qiao Yi said.This is true, Duan Xi is very beautiful, a rich girl with a kind of nobility, there is a very vivid emotion overflowing when she speaks and smiles.He said: "Call me now and ask me how to figure out the inner drama of the character."

Duan Zhe's face became stiff.He said: "This child, she has to scold her to stop messing around!"

Qiao Yi was surprised. He looked at the anger on Duan Zhe's face: "It's just a scene, why are you messing around?"

"It's fine if you're willing to go to the set at ordinary times. Is this kind of thing just for fun?" The more Duan Zhe said, the more angry he got, he stood up and went to get dressed, intending to take Duan Xi home who was playing outside, " Where is the entertainment industry, is it a child from a good family..."

"Duan Zhe!" Qiao Yi said anxiously, "What do you mean!"

Seeing that Qiao Yi's face turned pale, Duan Zhe felt a little guilty, and his hand that was squeezing the buttons of his clothes slowed down: "I'm not talking about you!"

Qiao Yi's complexion became more and more ugly, and his lips even lost all color.His hands stretched out in mid-air, as if he wanted to hold onto something, and he frowned tightly, looking uncomfortable.Duan Zhe was startled, he strode up to Qiao Yi's side, and supported him: "Qiao Yi!"

Qiao Yi was supported by him and slowly sat down.He closed his eyes, his face became paler, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.Duan Zhe's heart sank gradually: "Qiao Yi? Qiao Yi!"

Qiao Yi raised his hand with difficulty and waved it to signal him not to make noise.After a while, his lips gradually returned to normal, and he whispered, "It's all right. A little hypoglycemia."

Duan Zhe was very complicated.At this moment, he actually felt a kind of unspoken and inexplicable emotion towards Qiao Yi - guilt.

He actually felt guilty!

But Qiao Yi turned his head away expressionlessly, unwilling to talk to him again.

Duan Zhe looked at Qiao Yi's thin, bowed back because he was curled up, raised his hand, but still put it down.Qiao Yi's voice sounded calm: "Duan Xi's hobbies and her life should be resolved by herself. Even if you are her brother, you should respect her."

Duan Zhe: "......"

Qiao Yi scratched the lines on the sofa with his fingers, and lowered his eyes almost tiredly. He felt sleepy, but he continued: "Even...you look down on people in the entertainment industry, feel dirty or something, You have to use a method that Duan Xi can accept."

Duan Zhe sat silently.He didn't realize that while he felt unprecedentedly guilty towards Qiao Yi, he had also listened to Qiao Yi's lecture for a long time, and he actually listened to it.

Duan Zhe didn't go out that afternoon, he was here with Qiao Yi.He was in the house he bought, while the man Duan Zhe raised was always resting in the bedroom.

At six o'clock in the evening, Duan Zhe climbed into bed.

Qiao Yi didn't make a sound, but his eyes were open, and his gaze scattered in mid-air.Duan Zhe leaned over, touched Qiao Yi's cheek with the tip of his nose, and said, "Don't be angry."

Qiao Yi ignored him.

Duan Zhe scowled: "I really didn't mean that, the filming was pretty good, every day is beautiful, how happy I am."

Qiao Yi closed his eyes and frowned quickly.Inexplicably, Duan Zhe felt that Qiao Yi sighed silently and heavily, which made him feel bad, and said, "I won't scold Duan Xi anymore. She is so old, so she can do whatever she likes."

He stretched out his hand, touched Qiao Yi's face, and said, "Actually, what I'm worried about is that in our family situation, if Duan Xi really wants to be an actress, it will be too high-profile, and her own safety is also a problem."

Qiao Yi's face was slowly pressed against Duan Zhe's palm, Qiao Yi said slowly: "It's okay, go to sleep."

Duan Zhe was speechless.After he lay down, he did not fall asleep for a long time.In the middle of the night, Qiao Yi's light breathing was barely audible.He became irritable again.Because it was the first time he felt that he could no longer control Qiao Yi.
