Let go of the past

Li Ziqing drove into the familiar central area of ​​the CBD. The twin-tower office buildings towered into the sky from far to near. The weather in S City was pleasant at the end of spring. The blue sky and white clouds matched the grandeur of the buildings. Burst out extremely dazzling light.He turned the steering wheel and drove into the underground parking lot. After a complete stop, he found the elevator in the shopping mall. As soon as he stepped in, the other party called to urge him.

"Mr. Li, our appointment is at twelve noon, are you coming soon?"

Li Ziqing raised his watch and looked at the time displayed on it, it was 11:55.

"Immediately." He replied, "It's already in the elevator."

The elevator reached the sixth floor, and the doors on both sides opened. Outside the door stood a burly young man with trousers and a jacket. He recognized him at a glance, smiled politely, and bowed to guide him towards the restaurant: " Mr. Li, I am Lin Rui, this way please."

Li Ziqing followed Lin Rui, who politely explained to him as he walked: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, because Director Bai has an appointment for an audition here at 12:20, so I was in a hurry, please forgive me."

"……It's ok."

Using the spare time after work to deal with his son's emotional problems, Dao Bai is a very conscientious father.

The two turned into a Cantonese restaurant with simple and elegant decoration, and went straight to the innermost private room.

"Director Bai," Lin Rui pushed open the door and respectfully said to the people inside, "Mr. Li is here."

Li Ziqing walked in, and sitting behind the round table directly opposite was an old man with half-white hair but a handsome appearance, wearing an indigo-colored improved Chinese tunic suit, even if he was sitting, it could be seen that he was slender and well-proportioned, well-maintained, White mist rose from the teacup in front of him, and a sense of immortality rushed over his face.

"Hello, Director Bai." Li Ziqing greeted simply, and stood at the door without moving.

Bai Cen watched him quietly across the huge round table, and after a while, he turned his eyes to the side and said slowly, "Come and sit down."

Li Ziqing approached, pulled out the chair and sat down. During this period, he could feel the other party's gaze wandering over him from the corner of his eye, and he never stopped.

After sitting down, he really heard Bai Cenfu speak again, with a calm tone, neither praise nor criticism: "I've seen many boys who are prettier than you."

Li Ziqing smiled very lightly at the other party, and asked politely: "What does Director Bai want to say?"

"That's why I don't understand why my son would do such an outrageous thing for you." Bai Cen's eyes showed genuine confusion: "Do you have any advantages that outsiders can't see at a glance?"

Li Ziqing smiled, "Although I do have many advantages, your son didn't come out because of me," he said unhurriedly, "He just wanted to come out, and he just happened to fall in love with me." .”

Bai Cen showed that his words were wrong, and expressed his doubts euphemistically: "I can't contact him now, and I can't believe one-sided words."

"Because you can't contact him, it can explain the problem better." Li Ziqing said: "If he came out because of me, it should be the two of us standing here, shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand. Facing your harsh criticism."

Bai Cen remained silent, and it was impossible to tell from his expression whether he was persuaded, but after a while, he picked up the purple sand pot from the tea tray in front of him, poured a new cup of tea and pushed it in front of Li Ziqing, and said lightly: "Moisturize your throat. .”

"Thank you." Li Ziqing took it, took a symbolic sip, put down the glass and looked at Bai Cen.

Bai Cenfu spoke again, and asked slowly: "Then how did you and Bai Lisheng get to know each other?"

"I've known him for a long time," Li Ziqing replied, "We are classmates in high school."

After hearing this sentence, Bai Cen stared at Li Ziqing's incomparably open eyes for a while, then nodded slightly, and said, "I understand." He turned to look at Lin Rui beside him, and asked him, "What time is it?" gone?"

Lin Rui looked at his watch and replied, "Twelve twenty-five."

Li Ziqing remembered what he said earlier that they were going to have an audition here, and realized that the other party might be tactfully seeing off the guests, so he stood up and said to Bai Cen: "Director Bai, since the conversation has come to an end, it's none of my business. The juniors will take their leave first."

Bai Cen nodded, and immediately stood up, walked around the table and walked towards the door.

Lin Rui followed behind and asked in surprise, "Director Bai, what about the audition?"

"I won't wait for those who are not punctual." Bai Cen said flatly, but stopped at the door, Li Ziqing stretched out his hand to open the door for him, and said with a smile: "Please."

The three of them left the restaurant and stood at the elevator entrance to wait for the elevator to come up. A staff member of the shopping mall walked up to them with an apologetic face and explained to them: "Sorry three, there is a temporary problem with the direct elevator here. Emergency repairs are expected to take half an hour. If the three of you are in a hurry to leave, you can make a detour to the opposite escalator."

"This...will we have to wait for a while?" Lin Rui looked at Bai Cen in embarrassment. There were many people on the escalator. After all, Bai Cen was a public figure, and it would be terrible if he was recognized.

The other party waved his hand, and said indifferently, "Just go over there, we're in a hurry."

The three made a semicircle, followed three or five passers-by, turned into the escalator and lined up to go down.As soon as he arrived at the first floor of the shopping mall, a fiery young man rushed towards him. He was well-dressed and handsome, with neatly trimmed silver hair. Quickly turning back, after seeing Bai Cen's face clearly, he shouted excitedly: "Guide Bai!"

Lin Rui cursed secretly, then hurriedly protected Bai Cen, staring at him warily, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"How can you admit your mistake?" The other party argued, "I came to audition today."

"..." Lin Rui looked at him speechlessly, and nodded his finger on the dial on his wrist, "You see what time it is?"

"Alas..." The other party sighed, hesitated for a moment, looked at Bai Cen and Lin Rui sincerely, and explained, "I'm sure you won't believe me, but I was really late because I had to help the old lady cross the road."

Lin Rui: "...Who are you fooling?"

The young man frowns: "I really didn't fool you..."

Bai Cen stopped Lin Rui, looked at the young man, and lightly poured a basin of cold water: "No matter what the reason is, I was late for the first audition, and I won't give it another chance."

"Farewell, Director Bai," the young man stepped forward and grabbed Bai Cen's arm, begging, "I promise, I will never be late for the second audition."

Lin Rui: "..." Are you sure about your mother?

Li Ziqing stood aside, at first he just had the mentality of watching a show, but when he took a closer look at the appearance of the silver-haired handsome young man, he felt more and more that the other's slightly upturned fox eyes, vaguely An eerie familiarity.

"Let go!" Relying on his strength, Lin Rui crossed his arms to protect Bai Cen, and then pushed the young man away. The young man's strength was no match for Lin Rui, who was tall and burly, and he was pushed back two steps. , happened to bump into Li Ziqing.

He turned around and apologized again and again, the two looked at each other for half a second, the young man's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head immediately.

Li Ziqing grabbed his arm, narrowed his eyes and asked him, "Have I seen you?"

"Maybe, I'm an actor after all," the other party laughed, and withdrew his arm from Li Ziqing's hand: "I've seen it on TV."

Over there, Lin Rui was protecting Bai Cen, but he couldn't hold back the desire to complain: "Just you? A peripheral [-]th line? Still have a chance to be on TV?"

"Director Bai! Just give me a chance!" Unexpectedly, the young man rushed forward again with perseverance, his voice suddenly raised several decibels, and instantly attracted the attention of a group of passers-by around him.

"Fuck, did you fucking do it on purpose?" Lin Rui cursed angrily, and hurriedly said to Bai Cen, "Director Bai, let's go."

However, it was already too late. There was already a themed event on the first floor of the shopping mall today, and the crowds were so crowded. The young man’s white guide attracted the attention of more than half of the people who were participating in the event. The air condensed for a few seconds. Then, people from all directions swarmed over.

"Director Bai? Is it Bai Cen? My God! I saw a living person!"

"No way? Is it really Director Bai? I want to take a picture and send it to Moments!"

"Why did Director Bai come here? Is it a lie?"

"You'll know if you go and have a look, and you don't need money to watch the fun."

In the blink of an eye, Bai Cen and Lin Rui were submerged in an impenetrable sea of ​​people, and the mountains and seas continued to expand in scope.

"Mr. Li!" Lin Rui was being pushed back and forth by the crowd, while trying to protect Bai Cen, he shouted hoarsely to Li Ziqing for help: "Help find a way!"

Li Ziqing stared dumbfounded at the commotion in front of him, subconsciously searched around, and found that the young man had indeed slipped away.

"Mr. Li!" Lin Rui howled again.

Li Ziqing had no experience in dealing with this kind of situation, and there were so many people, even if the security guards were called, they might not be able to evacuate for a while.

At this moment, the normal elevator ding-dong opened a few steps away from the crowd, and Ji Bing, who had finished lunch with two other executives of the company at the restaurant on the top floor, walked out slowly.

"What's going on?" One of the executives was distracted by the chaotic noise, looked over there, and speculated, "A star is coming?"

Ji Bing also casually glanced there, and before his sight reached the destination, he suddenly stopped halfway, barely locked on Li Ziqing, whose back was turned to him, and the entangled emotions in his eyes instantly surged. He stared fixedly for a moment, then walked quickly towards the other party.

"President Ji?" The two executives watched him resolutely walk in the direction of the commotion with astonishment on their faces, and looked at each other, both confused.

Li Ziqing was still standing on the outside of the crowd, helpless. Lin Rui kept shouting at Mr. Li, making him anxious and impatient. A few security guards rushed over from the shopping mall, but as expected, facing the restless and crazy crowd, he was completely overwhelmed. big tree.

It's nothing.

While thinking quickly about what to do, Li Ziqing made a decision in his heart, and blocked all of Bai Lisheng's contact information when he returned home.

But suddenly, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the attached force made him feel a little terrified. The familiar voice, low and calm, asked him, "What's wrong?"

Li Ziqing stared in astonishment at Ji Bing, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and after a few seconds of stunned, he quickly came back to his senses, pointed at the commotion crowd, and hurriedly said to him: "Bai Lisheng's father is surrounded by people, you have a way ?"

Ji Bing's hand still maintained the posture of pinching Li Ziqing's arm. He raised his head and looked over there, pondered for a moment, then suddenly let go of his hand, took two steps back and looked at Li Ziqing, his eyes flashed for a moment. Become deep and infatuated.

Li Ziqing: "???"

"Why!" Ji Bing suddenly raised his voice, and asked in pain: "Why did you leave me? I love you so much and care about you so much. I will give you whatever you want. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Li Ziqing: "..."

Ji Bing's series of sincere confessions really attracted the eyes of half of the crowd. When they saw clearly that it was two men breaking up and tearing each other up in public, they became even more excited and booed loudly. Shouting, he raised his phone and frantically took pictures.

Li Ziqing took a deep breath, then took a step forward, forced Ji Bing in front of him, looked at him fixedly, and complained loudly: "Why? You still ask me why? Why don't you ask yourself, what did you do? How much are you sorry for me?" He smiled wryly, with tears in his eyes, "You think I'm stupid because you think you're smart? After all these years, I've had enough and I don't want to bear it anymore. Since you can't change your flirting, then Just go, I will fulfill you now, and you are free."

"Oh my God!" The people around watched the excitement attentively, and began to discuss in whispers.

"Scumbag!"

"It's so pitiful, that little brother is crying..."

"Is that Gong on the other side? The domineering president of the three-dimensional dimension is simply so handsome!"

"Have all the rich people gone to get gay?"

"Homosexuality is disgusting..."

"The one who says homosexuality is disgusting is disgusting!"

"Little brother, I support you to break up, give up the scumbag, and seek true love!"

Li Ziqing pretended to be heartbroken, covering his eyes and lowering his head. His gaze swept out of the crowd through his fingers, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Rui and a group of security guards disappearing behind the glass door of the shopping mall with Bai Cen.

Before he could recover, his eyes suddenly went dark again, followed by an uncontrollable excited scream from the crowd, and his arm was grabbed again, he raised his head, and was facing Ji Bing, who was staring at him steadily. In the eyes, many emotions surged inside, and it was hard to tell whether it was deliberate or real for a while.

"Come with me, don't be embarrassing here." After Ji Bing said, he couldn't help but dragged Li Ziqing up, and half hugged and half pushed him to the elevator entrance. There were even more excited screams behind him, faintly The posture to catch up.

The elevator quickly stopped on the first floor, and the two walked in one after the other. Ji Bing quickly closed the door, blocking the chaos and commotion in sight.

"..." In the cramped elevator, Li Ziqing subconsciously took two steps back, leaning his back against the elevator wall, keeping the farthest distance possible from Ji Bing.

Ji Bing noticed his movement, and then moved half a step to the opposite corner. The distance between the two of them was further away. His expression returned to normal, he glanced at Li Ziqing, and said: "In a hurry, I can only focus my attention like this. Attract it."

"Yeah." Li Ziqing replied indiscriminately, staring at the advertising poster on the elevator without turning his face.

"Where are you going?" Ji Bing put his hand on the elevator button and asked him.

"Parking lot, thank you," Li Ziqing replied.

"You're welcome."

When the elevator went down to the underground parking lot, Li Ziqing lifted his foot and walked out, while Ji Bing stood still inside.

He turned his head, Ji Bing smiled at him and said, "Goodbye."

He turned his face away in silence, and walked towards the distance.

"Li Ziqing." A voice called from behind, he stopped but did not turn his head.

"Whether you live well or not in the future, as long as you want, you can come to me at any time."

Li Ziqing turned his head, looked at Ji Bing in the elevator without any emotion in his eyes, and then slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "It won't be bad," he said with a smile, "Because the worst, I have already experienced it. .”
