The pungent smell of smoke wafted from the front seat, and the curtain next to it slammed and was pulled shut abruptly.

Xu Jingzhou pulled the mask on silently.

"Hey, little brother, please make room, there are no seats." The aunt had a few leather bags hanging on her arms, and when she turned around, the plastic cloth rubbed against the seat and made an unpleasant sound.

She wiped the floor with her bag indiscriminately and sat down.

The bus to Lincheng takes nearly six hours and there are many people.

Xu Jingzhou looked at the car door, the driver was still calling for someone to come up.

"Xiaozhou," the girl from the reporter obviously didn't suffer from such grievances, holding the camera and hanging her head in dejection, "Didn't you say you want to tell me about your boyfriend? Why did you bring me here?"

Xu Jingzhou explained: "He's not in Ancheng."

"Then let's go to another place, why not take a plane? Your agent should be able to help you arrange a better means of transportation," she said dissatisfied: "Traveling in a passenger car is crowded and tiring."

The girl turned her head to look at Xu Jingzhou.

This person seemed to be in a hurry than her, with a canvas bag in his arms, and the makeup on his eyes hadn't been removed.He wore a peaked cap, a mask, and a scarf, with only his eyes exposed on his entire face.

Xu Jingzhou ignored her.

This person seems to often take this kind of transportation, close his eyes and sleep, no more, no less, exactly six hours.

When I opened my eyes again, it was dark.

"The Qinglushan tourist attraction is ahead! Has anyone gotten off?" the driver shouted in front.

The girl was taken aback,

Xu Jingzhou quickly woke up from sleep, pulled her arm and walked out, "It's here," he also called the driver: "Master, let's get off in front!"

"What are you doing here?" The girl was even more confused.

Xu Jingzhou had already booked the hotel last week. He turned on the navigation to find it, and said, "After you clarify the matter, you can go back with the tour group. I booked the ticket when I came."

"What about you?" the girl asked.

"I won't go back," Xu Jingzhou said, "You can release the news of this report publicly."

Navigation tips, it takes 15 minutes to walk.

Hearing what he said, the reporter girl fell silent and didn't make a sound.

Perhaps it was her illusion, along the way she always felt that Xu Jingzhou's emotions were like a horse on the verge of a cliff, and there was an extremely gorgeous moment before returning to the light.

Xu Jingzhou really seemed to take her on a trip this time. He was in a good mood and the arrangements were well organized.

But she was clearly at the recording site of the show just now, and she watched Xu Jingzhou lose control of his emotions after being stimulated by a few insignificant words, and rushed out of the crowd.

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Jingzhou helped her arrange the room.

"It's cold here at night, there is an electric blanket on the bed, remember to turn it on." Xu Jingzhou glanced at her bag, "Can you lend me the machine? I'll return it to you tomorrow."

The girl looked up at him, "It's okay to borrow from you, but tell me clearly, what are you using the machine for so late?"

"Don't you want to collect material?" Xu Jingzhou blinked and laughed, "I'll help you. Tomorrow you will be able to know the news from the front line of the entertainment industry, so you don't have to work overtime."

He lowered his voice and joked, "Maybe there will be a bonus."

The girl lent it to him dubiously.

Xu Jingzhou thanked her earnestly, and said that she would give her money within the stipulated time.

The bus was bumpy, and she was already very sleepy. The girl jumped on the bed immediately after washing, and then she took a look at the news. She clicked on Weibo, and her eyes fell on the trending topics that have recently risen.

His expression froze.

After running through four train stations, Li Qing racked his brains to figure out Xu Jingzhou's account password.

"Brother Qing! I got a message from Brother Qing!" The assistant nearly sprained his feet when he jumped out of the car, and stumbled over, "A girl who said she was a reporter called! She said she knew where Xiaozhou was! "

Li Qing's eyes widened, and he answered the phone hastily.

"Hello," the person on the other end of the phone said in a flustered tone, even crying, "I'm Shuya, the female reporter from last time. I just saw the news on the Internet. I'm sorry."

"Don't panic," Li Qing took a deep breath, "Are you with Xiaozhou now?"

"Yes, he said he could tell me about his boyfriend, so I followed." The girl hurriedly explained: "I didn't know there would be such a big commotion, I didn't think about it, he borrowed the machine just now .”

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized something.

Li Qing hurriedly urged: "Go and see if he is in the house! Why are you lending the machine to him in the middle of the night??"

There was a bang on the other side of the phone, as if the phone had been dropped to the ground.

Li Qing immediately heard the girl's hurried footsteps, and a few minutes later, the voice came again from the sound hole:

"Come here quickly," she seemed to be frightened, and said in a flustered tone, "The people in the hotel said that Xu Jingzhou asked about the route up the mountain, and it seems that he went to the mountain."

·

Meanwhile, the restaurant.

"Zhou Jing," the man who was fiddling with the tableware frowned and glanced at him, "Did you really tell Wei Zhun about the birthday party? He promised to come back?"

Zhou Jing was impatient, "I agreed."

"Then why haven't you seen anyone yet?" He raised his wrist, showing the time on the watch, "Don't be a liar, everyone here knows about you and Wei Zhun."

Zhou Jing glared at him.

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the private room was opened.

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he got up to greet him, only to be greeted by Song Lin who was on the phone.

"Okay, I see." He frowned, and when he looked up at the people in the room, he relaxed his brows and smiled, "Everyone is here, I'm a little late."

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, "Didn't you come with Wei Zhun?"

"Wei Zhun?" Song Lin was taken aback, "I don't know, why don't you call him?"

Zhou Jing looked at him expressionlessly.

"..." Song Lin felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and waved his hands, "Okay, I'll hit you."

He called Wei Zhun's personal phone, but he didn't answer.

"You call his company," someone said, "at least ask clearly, so that everyone won't worry about him."

Song Lin called the company again.

This time it was connected.

"Song Shao," an unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Song Lin recognized that it was Wei Zhun's assistant, so he asked directly: "Where are you Mr. Wei? Do you remember that there is a birthday party for him tonight? Everyone is waiting here."

"Ah? Boss Wei didn't say he was going. Didn't Mr. Zhou make it clear that he wouldn't go when he came over that day?" The assistant explained, "President Wei really has something urgent tonight."

All the people in the room looked at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing was so embarrassed that he couldn't breathe in this atmosphere, his face turned red, "What's the hurry?"

"He went to find Mr. Xu," the assistant said politely, "What's the matter, you should wait for Mr. Wei to find Mr. Xu before communicating. He may not be in the mood to answer your call right now."

·

With a flashlight on, Xu Jingzhou slowly walked up the stone ladder step by step.

With a canvas bag on his back and a machine on his front, this man is also wearing a white down jacket, looking like a penguin.The old man who was walking in front would look back at him every two steps,

"The young man wants to go up to the mountain to take pictures of the stars, right?" He said with a smile, "You young people just love to play romance. I have met many young people around your age who always like to look at the stars at the top of the mountain at night."

Xu Jingzhou held the camera steady and smiled, "It's not for the stars, but it's for the lover."

"That's also romantic!" the uncle said, "It's just that you went up the mountain too late today. I usually take people up the mountain before dark. I rarely come at this time. It's tiring and dangerous."

"It's too late to get off work," Xu Jingzhou wanted to speak again,

But I was so tired that I was almost out of breath, so I could only respond and adjust my breathing.

He didn't intend to climb too high.

This place is not a famous scenic spot, but the air is very good, and it can be regarded as a scenic spot with relatively beautiful surrounding scenery.Further up, there are dots of fire, which should be the stargazing brigade the old man said.

Xu Jingzhou picked a place with few people and set up a tent.

Take the picture book out of the bag.

"..."

The wind on the mountain was biting, blowing the bonfire into chaos.

Xu Jingzhou clutched the picture album tightly in front of the fire, his knuckles turned pale with force, he didn't prepare hot water or medicine this time, he just stubbornly wanted to hand over the picture album to that person.

I tried to send it last time, but failed.

Xu Jingzhou put the picture album on the fire, but before he got close, his fingertips seemed to be picked up by the fire, and he quickly drew back.

Shortness of breath.

He obviously didn't take a few breaths when he climbed the mountain, but at this time it seemed like he didn't have enough air.

"No," he murmured, "he won't receive it."

Xu Jingzhou raised his eyes, and his eyes eagerly glanced around, and finally stopped on the edge of the cliff.

Wei Zhun has been paying attention to every cliff edge on the mountain all the way.

When Li Qing told him the news, he was at the bus station, and the reporter girl told him exactly which bus it was and where the destination was.

He also said that Xu Jingzhou went up the mountain.

"Wei Zhun, I told you earlier that I asked you to send Xu Jingzhou to the hospital for treatment. What the hell were you thinking at that time? It's fine if you don't send it, and you just keep an eye on people like this?" Lin Feng called him over the phone. Cursed out of flowers.

Wei Zhun let him scold him, and climbed up the mountain with his head buried.

"Why did Xu Jingzhou go to the mountain?" Knowing that cursing is useless at this time, Lin Feng took a deep breath, "Calm down and think about it, if he wants to die, what is the reason?"

Wei Zhun's voice was hoarse, "I don't know,"

"His obsession is his ex-boyfriend, are you trying to contact that Han Zhou?" Lin Feng said, "It's been so long, you should know who this Han Zhou is, right?"

There was a momentary pause on the phone.

His answer was drowned in the mountain wind, "I don't know."

"Wei Zhun," Lin Feng laughed angrily, "If I take back what I said before, you really deserve to be alone forever."

He is very embarrassed at this time.

It is not convenient to climb mountains in a suit. The tight fabric has many cracks. The mountain is already cold, and the wind directly pours in through these gaps.Wei Zhun simply tore off his tie and tied it on his hand for strength.

He glanced over the side of the mountain and saw an old man coming down from the mountain.

The old man held a canvas bag in his hand.

Wei Zhun's gaze paused, and he rushed up immediately,

"Old man!" He was emotional and spoke intermittently, "Where did you get this bag?"

"Ah," the uncle was taken aback by him, "It's a young man. I took him up the mountain just now. He thought he had too many bags, so he asked me to take one down." The uncle pointed back, "It's just 50 meters ahead."

Before he finished speaking, the man ran over.

When Wei Zhun ran over, someone was squatting on the edge of the cliff, concentrating on flipping through the album.

Every page of the album was rustling.Xu Jingzhou looked at it carefully, put the album on the edge of the cliff, and picked up a few small stones to surround the album.

He got up and took two steps back.

After being frozen in the cold wind for so long, his fingers were a little stiff. When Xu Jingzhou was about to turn around, someone grabbed his wrist!

The other party pulled him back violently.

"What are you doing??" Wei Zhun's heart rose to his throat, and he would not let go of this man. He turned around to block Xu Jingzhou's way, to prevent this man from getting closer to the edge of the cliff.

All the things I thought about to say on the road disappeared after meeting the blank gaze of the young man.

Xu Jingzhou blinked, staring at the bloodshot eyes of the person in front of him, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

He lowered his tone: "Boss Wei?"

"Xu Jingzhou, what are you dissatisfied with me, or Zhou Jing, what can't be resolved, you can say it." This person has always been used to being calm in the business field, but now he is out of control, as if even the most basic Lost the ability to organize language, "If you don't want me to help you, others can help you,"

Xu Jingzhou stared at him.

"If you don't want to see me, then disappear. I stay far away from you. Whether you want to film or not, I will never interfere with your work." Wei Zhun tried his best to convince the person in front of him with these words.

"If you want Han Zhou, I'll help you." Unable to tell whether it was the cold wind that hurt his skin, or these few words that tore his heart, or whether he was too tired from traveling all the way, Wei Zhun took a sharp breath:

"You tell me where Han Zhou is, and I'll find him for you. If you like him, I'll help you stay with him forever. When you get married, I'll help you with the housing and money in the future."

The sky is full of stars.

The picture book that was placed on the edge of the cliff was still being blown by the wind, the four corners were pressed by stones, and the pages flew randomly.

As if someone was flipping through it,

Xu Jingzhou withdrew his gaze from his eyes and remained silent.

The man broke away from him, turned around and walked towards the path with his usual expression.

Did you take two steps?

He slowed down his pace, and the sobriety and calmness he had worked so hard to maintain for so many days finally collapsed at this moment.

"How can you help me?" Xu Jingzhou suppressed his emotions and reluctantly asked.

Wei Zhun noticed the crying in his voice and was stunned.

"I couldn't send this picture album out. I originally wanted to send it to him, but the address and zip code were different from there. Then I wanted to burn it again, but I couldn't bear it,"

At first, it was just a few cries caught in the voice, and after each word, it turned into an uncontrollable collapse.Xu Jingzhou squatted down, as if only this posture could make him feel better,

"It took me a long time to think of a way. If I put the picture album here, he can see it, whether he's still there or not," Xu Jingzhou stopped crying and looked up at him.

The moonlight shone into the eyes of the young man, revealing excessive sobriety and truth.

"Wei Zhun," Xu Jingzhou stared at him, as if wishing to vent out the grief accumulated in his life, "Brother is dead."

Wei Zhun's hands and feet were cold, but he didn't dare to approach him even if he looked at him.

"He wouldn't let me act, so I quarreled with him. He spoiled me since I was a child, and I was spoiled by him. I threw my temper and flew abroad without telling him," the man seemed to be out of breath. Barely speaking in a broken voice: "His parents are different

If you don't like me and him, just lie to him and say that I will never go back. "

"Then he," Xu Jingzhou took a deep breath, "then he went to the airport to chase me under heavy snow, the snow was so heavy, the ground was covered with ice, and he was speeding,"

"He was hit by a car on the way to find me! He was not decent at all when he died!" He seemed to be saying to him, and he seemed to be saying to himself, "He died because of me!"

The sound of fireworks on the mountain sounded one after another, and the bright fireworks set off the sky full of stars.

The crowd cheered, probably because someone was confessing their love.

Xu Jingzhou fell into numbness after the violent emotional shock, and muttered to himself: "I killed my brother."

The veiled scars were scabbed and graffitied.

At first, he was able to lie to himself that he didn't exist, and later he told all kinds of lies to make up for it, but no one knew better than himself that some things can be pretended not to exist without escaping.

Xu Jingzhou never thought it was a disease, and what the doctor said was all nonsense.

Even if he wanted to tear off the scab, he had to do it himself, decisively and without hesitation.

Xu Jingzhou was silent for a long time after these words.

These words used all his strength, he couldn't stand up, he just squatted like this, a small ball, he didn't even want to lift his head, buried in his arms.

So he didn't know when Wei Zhun walked up to him.

The sound of fireworks was silent, and the surroundings fell into silence.

The breathing of the two began to become clear, caught in the wind, blowing into each other's ears.

"Xu Jingzhou,"

The man opened his mouth, his voice was no better than when he was tearing his heart out just now.He still stumbled a little while speaking, as if he didn't know if he said it right, he seemed very clumsy,

"Today is my birthday, and I want to give you a present."

Xu Jingzhou raised his head and stared at him with red eyes from crying.

"Believe me, give me a few days, and I'll make a magic trick for you." Wei Zhun tremblingly said, "I, I'll help you make your brother out, okay?"
