After same-sex marriage was legal, we left [entertainment circle]

Bai Zhe stared at the phone in a daze for a while, swiped the screen, and answered.

"Xiaobai," Mr. Ji called his name at the same moment the receiver was close to his ear, "The formalities are over?"

Bai Zhe and Ji Qinzhang have known each other since they were teenagers. They have known each other for more than ten years, and they are both in their 30s. Ji Qinzhang still stubbornly calls him by his childhood address.

"It's over, it's going well." Bai Zhe said.

"He didn't make things difficult for you anymore?" Ji Qinzhang asked.

"It's all come to this point, there's nothing else to do." Bai Zhe smiled lightly, and glanced at the lawyer sitting beside him, "And the lawyer you introduced is very good and very capable."

"Of course I want the best for you. He is my old friend for many years, and to tell you the truth..." Ji Qinzhang lowered his voice, as if he knew that his old friend was sitting next to Bai Zhe, "He's getting a divorce A good hand in lawsuits, those around me who want to leave cleanly but don't want to make a big deal are rushing to beg him to file a lawsuit."

Ji Qinzhang is an indifferent Mr. Ji in front of outsiders, but when he arrives at Bai Zhe's place, he shows his original shape, speaks very casually, and even gossips occasionally.Bai Zhe was amused by his mother-in-law's tone, and said in a low voice, "Stop teasing me, I'm already in a mess."

Ji Qinzhang knew how much trauma this failed relationship had caused Bai Zhe.He resolutely stopped mentioning all the words related to divorce, and asked instead: "When will you return to China?"

"The plane tomorrow morning." Bai Zhe glanced out the window, the car was driving very fast and had already entered the hotel garden.

"Then do you have any plans for later?" Ji Qinzhang asked again.

Bai Zhe looked at the flourishing flowers and plants outside the window: "Maybe go back to the room and sleep. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I want to surprise you, but I don't know if you have time later." Ji Qinzhang smiled softly, "Look to your right."

Bai Zhe looked over as he said, and couldn't help being stunned.

At the entrance of the hotel, Ji Qinzhang was standing there.

Uncharacteristically, he has no suit and tie, a light gray POLO shirt on his upper body, and khaki slacks on his lower body.Through the car window, he waved to Bai Zhe and smiled softly.He and Bai Zhe are only two years apart, but their states are completely different.Bai Zhe seems to be forgotten by the years, he will never grow old, but Ji Qinzhang greets all the traces of the years as usual.He looked about three or four years younger than his actual age, and there were a few fine lines around his eyes when he smiled.But the fine lines and wrinkles are the most vivid footnotes for his mature demeanor.Some men get more attractive the older they get, and that's about him.

Bai Zhe didn't expect that he would cross the barrier of the ocean and appear here, so many feelings were mixed in his heart.He put down the phone slowly and sighed softly.His manager Cheng Jia saw Ji Qinzhang from the window and cried out in surprise.

"Ji Xian..." She stopped after shouting, because Bai Zhe's movements and expressions showed that he had seen Ji Qinzhang. "...too sua." Cheng Jia sighed while holding her face.

When Bai Zhe got out of the car, Ji Qinzhang came up to meet him, hugged him on the shoulder in a vague way, and exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer.The lawyer was very discerning and didn't talk too much. When it was time to talk politely, he left the scene voluntarily.Seeing Bai Zhe's bewildered look, Cheng Jia was anxious for him from the bottom of her heart, and deliberately asked, "When did Mr. Ji come?"

"Just arrived in the morning." Ji Qinzhang smiled, "Cheng Jia, thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Jia hurriedly said, "It's my responsibility to take good care of Teacher Bai. If you say that, you'll be offended."

Ji Qinzhang smiled approvingly, and turned to look at Bai Zhe.Bai Zhe felt uncomfortable with his smiling eyes, and said softly, "What are you doing here? Have a job?"

"Can't you come if you don't have a job?" Ji Qinzhang said softly, "I'm not at ease. I'm here to see you."

Bai Zhe glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Thank you so much for making a special trip. By the way, have you eaten yet? I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something."

After speaking, he looked at Cheng Jia and motioned Cheng Jia to book a table in the restaurant of the hotel.

Cheng Jia understood, and Ji Qinzhang stopped her before she moved.

"I guessed that you would be hungry, so I already made a reservation." Ji Qinzhang looked at Cheng Jia and said with a smile, "Please go and report my name and tell the waiter that the food is ready."

It is said that this hotel hires a French cook, who is hired with a high salary and has a great reputation.As soon as the table starts, from appetizers to desserts, every dish is delicious.It's a pity that Cheng Jia accidentally became the third party of the two, and after a few mouthfuls, she felt that the atmosphere was weird and she couldn't swallow it. He put down the knife and fork as soon as he opened his mouth, so a table of delicacies was wasted in vain.

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.Cheng Jia learned her lesson and used an excuse to go for a walk to digest food and avoid walking with the two of them. Only Bai Zhe and Ji Qinzhang took the same elevator back to the room.After entering the elevator, Bai Zhe reported his floor to the elevator attendant. When it was Ji Qinzhang's turn, the man smiled and said briefly: "Same."

Bai Zhe didn't quite understand, so he turned to look at him suspiciously: "You live on the same floor as me?"

Ji Qinzhang made a fool of himself: "You will know later."

After getting out of the elevator, Bai Zhe walked towards his room, and Ji Qinzhang naturally followed.The two stood side by side, and Ji Qinzhang didn't see any thought of stopping or turning a corner, as if he planned to follow Bai Zhe all the time, all the way to Bai Zhe's room.The doubts in Bai Zhe's heart were getting bigger and bigger, and he finally stopped when he walked to the door of his room, and said helplessly, "I'm here."

Ji Qinzhang smiled, walked a few steps forward, walked to the door next door, and deliberately raised his eyebrows at him: "I'm here too."

As he spoke, he took out his room card and swiped it on the electronic lock.

It turned out that he lived in the room next to Bai Zhe.

"Want to come in and sit down?" Ji Qinzhang extended an invitation to Bai Zhe.

Bai Zhe was funny and helpless, but he couldn't say no to it.He shrugged and said, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The structure of Ji Qinzhang's room is basically the same as that of Bai Zhe. Ji's family is bigger than Bai Zhe's. Ji Qinzhang is the second son of the long family. He has enjoyed the best since he was a child. Letting him live in such a hotel and such a room is actually wronging him.But he didn't complain at all, he greeted Bai Zhe to sit down when he entered the door, and asked him whether he would like black tea or red wine.Bai Zhe seldom drinks alcohol, but he is in a really bad mood today. No matter how much he laughs, his heart feels stuffy like a huge boulder is crushing him, so he chose red wine.

Ji Qinzhang pulled out the cork with a corkscrew and poured the red wine into the decanter.While waiting for the red wine to fully absorb the air, he asked Bai Zhe, "How about some music?"

This is really what he likes. You must know that Bai Zhe only loved two things in his life in the past, music and Du Zixiao—or Du Zixiao is not a thing at all—now that Du Zixiao has left his life, Bai Zhe There is only one thing Zhe loves left, and that is music.

He readily accepted.

Seeing Bai Zhe's smile, Ji Qinzhang took out a disc from the drawer like a believer who has received an oracle.The hotel's sound system is good, but it's still far worse than the one at Bai Zhe's house.When the first sound came out from the speaker, Bai Zhe frowned because of the quality of the sound. When the second sound came out, he didn't care about the sound at all.

The Beatles!

The Beatles!

Red wine and Britpop, what an odd pairing.However, Bai Zhe didn't feel that anything was wrong. He sat up straight on the sofa, listening to every syllable from the stereo, and gradually became intoxicated by the wanton singing of the church-level band.

After a while, he sighed between the two songs: "I fell in love with music because of them."

Ji Qinzhang liked the vivid expression on his face when he talked about music. He poured some red wine into two goblets, kept one for himself, and handed the other to Bai Zhe.

"Cheers," he said.

You fell in love with music because of the Beatles, and I fell in love with the Beatles because of you.

Bai Zhe raised his head and took a sip of the red wine. The liquid flowed down his lips into his mouth, wrapped around the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, and swirled down his throat.His graceful and slender neck stretched out a graceful arc, and his Adam's apple trembled in front of the thin neck, giving him an inadvertently sexy look.If Ji Qinzhang's temperament comes from years of experience, then Bai Zhe's temperament comes from the generous gift of heaven.He always shows his charm inadvertently, and he doesn't know how his every move has seduced the other party.

Ji Qinzhang only felt that what he swallowed was not a sip of wine, but a ball of fire.The fire burned fiercely, along the throat, and burned all the way to his heart.

He looked away to avoid seeing Bai Zhe again, coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you've been recruiting people recently and want to start a record company?"

"En." Bai Zhe agreed, he couldn't hide any troubles in this circle from Mr. Ji, and he wasn't surprised that his actions would be known to him.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Ji Qinzhang asked with a smile.

"No." Bai Zhe replied.

"Really?" He answered too quickly, and Ji Qinzhang didn't believe it. "How did I hear that there is something wrong with your funds, and finding new people is not going well?"

Bai Zhe was raising his head to take a second sip of wine, when he heard the words, he paused, and put down the glass: "Who did you listen to?" He paused, remembering that he had provided a list of his personal property to the lawyer when he got divorced, Then I understood, "That old friend of yours told you?"

"Don't worry about who told me, just tell me if it was true." Ji Qinzhang avoided answering.

Bai Zhe couldn't hold him back, so he sighed and said, "Yes, there is indeed a problem with the funds, but I can solve it myself."

"How much is there?" Ji Qinzhang asked directly, ignoring his stubbornness.

Bai Zhe frowned slightly, and repeated: "I can solve it myself."

"The funding problem appeared three months ago, and there has been no progress so far. You tell me that you can solve it yourself?" Ji Qinzhang sighed helplessly, "Yesterday I asked my chief financial officer to talk to your people. , don’t worry about funding, I’ll help you solve it. However, I really can’t help you with how to find newcomers, it’s up to you.”

How to find a newcomer Bai Zhe already has a series of plans, in fact, his biggest headache is that the funds are not always in place.Ji Qinzhang's actions can be said to have helped him a lot, and Ji Qinzhang has never asked for anything in return for his help, which is tantamount to giving him money for nothing.Bai Zhe didn't like this. He and Ji Qinzhang had known each other for more than ten years, and they had always been very clear about financial issues. Ji Qinzhang's move made him feel that Ji Qinzhang was taking care of him.

Frowning tightly, he refused in a blunt tone: "I really don't need it, I can..."

"I didn't invest in you for nothing." Ji Qinzhang interrupted him, "Xiaobai, don't be nervous, I will give you such a large sum of money, and I naturally hope to get something in return."

Bai Zhe's eyebrows stretched a little, and he asked, "What return?"

Ji Qinzhang approached Bai Zhe, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. The smell of Bai Zhe's body was mixed with the aroma of red wine, which made the fire in his heart that had finally dimmed surge up again.Holding the wine glass, he leaned forward slowly, gradually confining Bai Zhe in the semicircle formed by his body and arms.

"Don't hide from me anymore, okay?"

Bai Zhe's heart tightened suddenly, his first reaction was - he found out.

He found that he was deliberately reducing contact with him, and even avoiding him.

Ji Qinzhang was very close to Bai Zhe, and his breath sprayed on Bai Zhe's cheeks, causing Bai Zhe to tremble from top to bottom, and couldn't help becoming nervous.He shrank back into the depths of the sofa, trying to say something to ease the atmosphere: "Brother Qin, you're drunk."

"It's just one sip, how can you get drunk?" Ji Qinzhang smiled, his voice was extremely low, and in this voice, everything he said seemed to be deceptive, "Xiaobai, don't hide from me anymore, okay? Okay? You are free, you can start over. You can change your life, change someone...that person can't give you happiness at all, but I can..."

freedom...beginning again...happiness...

Ji Qinzhang understood Bai Zhe's fragility and anticipation very well at the moment, his words hypnotized Bai Zhe like a mantra, and he couldn't help relaxing his shoulders, letting Ji Qinzhang cover his cheeks, and brought his lips closer.

At the moment when a kiss was about to fall, a sentence exploded in Bai Zhe's mind.

That was what Du Zixiao yelled out with malice or jealousy.

"I wish you and Ji Qinzhang a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

For some reason, Bai Zhe was shocked by these words, the red wine glass in his hand was unsteady, and the whole thing fell on his lap.

Ji Qinzhang frowned, hesitation flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then he became worried.He got up and took a tissue to help Bai Zhe wipe it off, but Bai Zhe stopped him before his hand touched it.

"Brother Qin," Bai Zhe's clothes and trousers were dyed red, and he looked extremely embarrassed, but he didn't rush to wipe it off, "I know you are worried about me, thank you."

Ji Qinzhang didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

Bai Zhe swallowed secretly, and continued: "But I'm really tired. You're right, I can start a new relationship, but that's not now. Recently, or for a long time, I don't want to Let's think about the relationship again. Brother Qin, thank you for caring about me, but I... I'm so tired, I'm sorry. "

He leaned forward and put the red wine glass on the low table, smiled at Ji Qinzhang, and then walked out of Ji Qinzhang's room.

The sound of automatic locking came from the door, Ji Qinzhang took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.
