Tossing and turning in bed at night unable to fall asleep.

Shen Qiaohe suddenly wanted to smoke, and they had quit smoking for several years.But during this period of time, I was really in a bad mood, so I always wanted to smoke two cigarettes to relieve myself.

He turned on the light and walked up and down on the floor with his bare feet.

Today is cloudy, and the weather is not hot, but it may be because of the rain, and it is a bit stuffy.

Shen Qiaohe paced to the window and opened the curtains to let in the air.

A gust of wind swept in, blowing the curtains rustling.

It is now two minutes past the morning, and the streets at night are too quiet.

There were only a few faint dog barks from the direction of the low-rise residential buildings in the old city in the distance.

A black Maybach parked under the dim streetlights, Shen Qiaohe saw a man leaning against the streetlights and smoking a cigarette.

The tall body was shrouded in a halo, the light elongated his figure, and the wind was loud, making him look a bit lonely.

Suddenly, Qin Luoning raised his head, his eyes met.

His body shook violently, he stood up straight, looked up at Shen Qiaohe quietly, then lowered his head and took out his cell phone.

The phone in his pocket vibrated.

[Why are you still up so late? 】

Shen Qiaohe glanced at it, but drew the curtains without replying.

·

Early the next morning, Shen Qiaohe was woken up again by the scolding of the cleaner's aunt.

Today is the weekend. After washing up and having breakfast, I put on my sports clothes and start running in the morning.Originally, he had a fitness card, but he was often harassed by coaches or other members, so he stopped going over time.

Some time ago when Qin Luoning was here, they would go to the badminton hall to play badminton together on weekends.With Qin Luoning by his side, no one came to harass him.

After running for more than half an hour, Shen Qiaohe stopped, only to realize that he had unknowingly ran to the front of the arena.

Shen Qiaohe bit his lip, his expression was extremely ugly.

In the afternoon, Huo Qing sent him a text message asking him to go to the bar at night.

The matter of finding a partner last time was messed up by Qin Luoning, and Shen Qiaohe said hello.I started to prepare clothes to wear to the bar at night.

In order to reduce some sense of distance, he suddenly wanted to break through his image today and wore a leather jacket and jeans that he had never worn before.Then I rolled out the locomotive given by my friend on my previous birthday from the garage.

This outfit, which he had never experienced before, gave him a lot of attention along the way. When he got out of the car, someone looked straight at him and bumped into a utility pole.

When Shen Qiaohe walked into the bar, Huo Qing didn't recognize him for a while.

It's just unexpected that there are not many people in the bar today.

"What's going on?" There should be quite a few people at this point.

Huo Qing gave him a resentful look: "It's not because of you. I didn't see you last time, and I asked you to smash my signboard. Some old customers who came that night were playing tricks and stopped coming. "

A foreign man who had chased Shen Qiaohe before came over and said in a strange way: "Shen, don't play role-playing in the future, okay."

Shen Qiaohe: ...

Huo Qing said: "Did you see that, David is saving face, so he came to take care of the business anyway. Now everyone thinks you and Qin Luoning are a couple, and they are having a temper tantrum."

Hearing that Shen Qiaohe who was drinking water here almost didn't spit out.

"It's fine if others don't know, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Because of the sudden drop in turnover during this period, Huo Qing let out a cold voice: "Actually, I saw it early in the morning. The kid likes you. He can't hide the look in your eyes, so you're just blind. Don't say anything else, Actually, let me tell you, this Qin Luoning is rich, powerful, and handsome. He still likes you after you have done such a thing. He is a loyal little wolf dog. These days, especially where are we going in this circle? Find such a good person. Anyway, you are not related by blood, why don't you think about it?"

Shen Qiao and Hui gave him a murderous look.

Shen Qiaohe said: "There is no blood relationship, but he was brought up by me alone. Anyway, I have been his guardian for a few years. If this matter gets out, what will other people think of us?"

Huo Qing shook the wine glass in his hand: "Hey, when did you become so concerned about the world's opinions? Weren't you very determined when you ran away with infamy? If you didn't like him, what did you do for him back then? Why did he make such a big sacrifice for him, if he is not careful, he will be jailed."

"That's different."

Back then he was able to make such a sacrifice for Qin Luoning because they only had each other in this strange world.Qin Luoning was a child raised by him alone, his liking for Qin Luoning was not that kind of liking.

Seeing that Shen Qiaohe was about to leave, Huo Qing said, "Why are you leaving so soon today? You don't even have a glass of wine?"

Seeing the wine in Huo Qing's hand now, Shen Qiaohe recalled that hot and taboo night.

The opponent's rough fingers wandered on his body, and the man's hot breath was close to his ears.His lips and fingers seemed to be on fire, and he flicked and set fire to Shen Qiaohe's body.His lips were also ravaged so hot that it took three days for it to disappear, which made him wear a mask for three days.The neck and waist were the hardest-hit areas, and it took a full week for the marks from being gnawed to disappear.It is really a dog.Although Qin Luoning didn't make it to the end with him, Shen Qiaohe couldn't help but blush when he thought of this.

Although the brain is not sober when drunk, the senses are not paralyzed. When I wake up, those restricted-level pictures are exceptionally clear.

Shen Qiaohe refused: "No." He finished the juice in the glass. "It's a mistake to drink."

Coming out of the bar, Shen Qiaohe didn't see the small car he usually drives.

Suddenly my brain short-circuited and I forgot that I came here by motorcycle.

He stood on the side of the road for a while, when two men and women driving luxury cars stopped and asked him if he would give him a ride.

Shen Qiaohe just raised his eyelids indifferently, without even taking a second look.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights came on.

Shen Qiaohe looked up at the smoggy sky and started walking back.

He was carrying his trouser pockets. Although he was handsome and upright, he had a rather cold expression on his face, and the words "Don't approach strangers" were written all over his body.

Walking out of the bustling business district, I arrived at a relatively secluded road.

There were only a few cars passing by on the road, and no pedestrians.

Shen Qiaohe followed a shadow, as if he had sensed something, when he turned his head, the shadow quickly hid again.

Shen Qiaohe pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces, and as expected, he saw Qin Xiaogou standing behind the street lamp.

childish.

Shen Qiaohe pretended not to notice, and continued to walk forward.

It took more than an hour to get home.

It was almost eight o'clock when I returned home. As soon as I walked into the community, I heard the security guard shouting: "Hey, it's Xiao Qin. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qin Luoning stared closely at Shen Qiaohe's figure, in his heart he neither wanted him to hear it, but also hoped that he could hear it.

But the man's footsteps did not stop at all, and he quickly disappeared around the corner.

·

At night, Shen Qiaohe didn't fall asleep again.

Once he was irritable, he wanted to smoke, but he didn't go to the supermarket these two days, and there was no cigarettes at home.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing by the window.

He lowered his eyelashes, and the light coming in through the gap in the curtains cast a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelashes.

After a while, Shen Qiaohe opened the curtains.

This time Qin Luoning saw him immediately.

The young man stood tall and straight under the street lamp. His tall body and mature face all showed the fact that he was already a mature man.

The phone dinged, Shen Qiaohe blocked Qin Luoning last time.

The other party used a new number.

【Still sleeping? 】

Shen Qiaohe let out a snort.

old-fashioned.

The format of the two conversations did not change.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being blocked again, Qin Luoning hurriedly posted two more.

[Some time ago, I went back to City A on urgent matters, so I didn't come to see you.Are you angry? 】

[I missed you so much when I left, I was going crazy, do you miss me? 】

[I don't regret confessing to you that day, anyway, it will be a matter of time. 】

Dead nature does not change.

Shen Qiaohe laughed angrily at him.

From the first time we met, Qin Luoning had the ability to make his teeth itchy and helpless.

The curtains were drawn again.

Qin Luoning stood under the streetlight, staring in the direction of the window without blinking.

It's ten o'clock at night, and he's been standing here for hours.But looking at Shen Qiao and the lights coming out of the window, he didn't feel bored at all.

At least this man was still within range of what he could find.The only difficult thing is not being able to see people.

Some time ago, Mr. Xie was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital. As the sole heir designated by Mr. Xie, he had to go back to Xie's house for a few days.

As soon as there is a gap, he will fly back immediately.

After hearing the reports from the people who followed Shen Qiaohe during his absence, he knew that now was not the best opportunity to appear in front of the other party.

But the longing for the man almost drove him crazy, especially after returning to Xie's house.

Qin Luoning simply stayed at Shen Qiao and downstairs, as long as he could catch a glimpse of him from a distance.

Because he hadn't had a good rest for several days, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard.

I thought I would never see Shen Qiaohe again tonight.

Qin Luoning leaned against the street lamp and silently lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the ground, blocking most of his body.

The cigarette in Qin Luoning's hand was snatched away.

He raised his head, and saw Shen Qiaohe standing in front of him, taking a cigarette into his mouth.

Although he is wearing a simple white t-shirt, he looks very cool.

"Excuse me for a cigarette."

Qin Luoning didn't expect Shen Qiaohe to appear in front of him suddenly, and he didn't understand what the other party said to him at all, so he just nodded in a daze.

As long as he is in front of this man, all the rationality and calmness in front of others will be destroyed in an instant.

It took a while before Qin Luoning calmed down.

He knew that Shen Qiaohe went to the bar tonight, and he was afraid that the other party would really find someone behind his back. As long as he thought of this possibility, he felt so sad that he was about to suffocate.

To Qin Luoning, this was simply a destructive thought.

He couldn't wait to show his loyalty to the man, to prove that he wasn't dizzy for a while, that he was really in love with Shen Qiaohe for ten years.

"I don't regret confessing to you."

Shen Qiaohe squatted aside, took two puffs, and then extinguished the cigarette.

The man looked up at him.

Qin Luoning instantly forgot the language.

Shen Qiaohe stood up and asked him, "Is there any more cigarettes?"

Qin Luoning stupidly gave him the only pack of cigarettes left in his pocket.

Shen Qiaohe patted his shoulder.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Qin Luoning explained word by word: "I'm not joking with you. From today onwards, I will never call you uncle again. From the beginning you are no longer my guardian, the two of us It doesn't matter a long time ago. I will pursue you again as a man."

Shen Qiaohe walked calmly, as if he didn't listen to his confession at all.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around: "Remember to dispose of the cigarette butts when you leave. Who are you leaving here on purpose for someone to see?"

Qin Luoning didn't react until Shen Qiaohe walked away.

What does Shen Qiaohe mean by this?

He was ready to be beaten up by the opponent, or threatened with verbal violence.

But Shen Qiaohe was suddenly so calm, and the calm made Qin Luoning more flustered than the violence.

When they reached the gate of the community, the security guard glanced at Qin Luoning in the distance: "Why doesn't he come in. These days, you two are still having a temper?"

Shen Qiaohe: "Who told you that we are a couple?"

Security guard: "Aunt Liu in the supermarket said that you young people just like to make troubles."

Shen Qiaohe originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he was not a relevant person, and there was no need to explain.

He took out the pack of cigarettes he snatched from Qin Luoning and threw it to Uncle Security: "Here, but he's not my partner."

The security guard was still muttering behind his back: "It's not that the partner treats you so well, and he buys vegetables and cooks, and also goes for a morning jog with you. Back then, I was not so diligent in chasing my wife."

·

Going to work on Monday, while still on the way, Shen Qiaohe received a call from the studio.

While stuck in traffic, he took out his phone and searched.

It was found that the tag of #贺清物笑# had already been posted on the hot search.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the company, Liu Tao happened to come too.

As soon as Liu Tao saw someone, he asked angrily, "What's going on here!"

Shen Qiaohe ignored him, walked into the office and asked Xu Lei, "What did He Qing say?"

Holding the phone, Xu Lei panicked and said, "He Qing hasn't answered the phone all morning, so I can't reach him. I'm going to his house now."

Bai Wei said: "The tag was rushed up at four o'clock in the morning this morning, and it was eleven o'clock last night. A person who claimed to be He Qing's classmate posted on Weibo, saying that He Qing's famous works of snow series were plagiarized from his ideas. .”

Liu Tao cursed and said: "Damn it, I knew it! This He Qinghua has no real kung fu, plagiarism! He actually plagiarized! Does he know what plagiarism means to an original cartoonist! He—"

Shen Qiaohe said: "Shut up! Don't draw conclusions until the matter is clear. Didn't you see how He Qing completed the Snow series?"

Liu Tao patted his head twice: "I'm also in a hurry! I tolerated his temper before. After the signing, there were so many things, he just didn't show his face! And his mother, every now and then Call and scold!"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Our studio staff is not perfect, and we lack experience in public relations. First contact Tianyin and ask them to assist us in crisis public relations. Let's remove the trending search first."

Bai Wei asked: "Will Tianyin agree?" If an original cartoonist is involved in such a thing as plagiarism, it would be good if the other party doesn't disregard the relationship.

Liu Tao finally came to his senses at this moment: "The copyright of the contract we just signed was sold to them. It is impossible for them not to help."

The two looked at each other, and Liu Tao said, "I'll find someone to find out who the person who broke the news is. I will also deal with the brand side, and He Qing will leave it to you."

Shen Qiaohe first sent two text messages to He Qing.

I went to Weibo to find out the so-called breaking news and took a closer look, and found that many of the details said by the other party were actually correct.

If it was a false accusation, then I am afraid that the other party has planned it for a long time.

Bai Wei pushed the door in and said in a panic: "Boss, I called Tianyin, and they said that Mr. Zhang is not in the company right now. Boss, do they want to ignore us?"

After pushing people away, Shen Qiaohe sat on the chair and thought for a long time.

In the end, he took out his mobile phone and found the blacklist from WeChat. After thinking for a while, he pulled Qin Luoning out of the blacklist.

His fingers hesitated on the keyboard for a long time, and finally, he sent it out.

【exist? 】

As soon as the news was sent out, Shen Qiaohe felt a little regretful.Some even want to withdraw.

He looked at the time on his watch, maybe the other party is in a meeting right now.

The time has not reached 2 minutes, if you withdraw now...

But in the next second, it was displayed that the other party was typing.

【I always. 】

Seeing these words, Shen Qiao and Mo Ming felt relieved.

He typed on the keyboard one by one: Can you help to contact Mr. Zhang of Tianyin?

It hasn't been sent yet.

Another message came in.

[Zhang Song is here with me now. 】

[Don't worry, leave it to me, you can rest assured. 】
