Ceaseless

Shen Qingyi didn't stay for long.Someone on the side of the road soon recognized her.She got into the car and left before the pedestrians gathered around.But before she left, she wanted Su Xi's phone number.

Nie Jingze drove him to the rental apartment downstairs, Su Xi thanked him and got out of the car, and was stopped by Nie Jingze when he turned to leave.The other party glanced at him, and after a second of silence, he suddenly asked, "Will you go to the school's centennial celebration?"

"Why should I go?" After he finished speaking, he seemed to smile, "I'm not a student there."

Nie Jingze's face was slightly frozen, and he didn't speak.The next second, he remembered the watch he bought in the mall, and Nie Jingze glanced sideways at the exquisite gift box in the back of the car, and said casually, "Give me the watch for Zhong Qing."

Su Xi nodded, and reached out to pull the rear door.

Seeing this, Nie Jingze felt a little depressed for no reason, felt remorse temporarily, and stopped him with a deep voice: "Forget it, I'll give it to him next time."

After hearing this, Su Xi's expression didn't change much, and he closed the car door for him again.

Nie Jingze went to the company again.When returning to the apartment after dinner, he also took the watch out of the car.After entering the door, he threw the gift bag on the coffee table in the living room and went into the cloakroom to change.

When he walked past the cufflinks and watch display, and saw an old watch in the corner out of the corner of his eye, he paused for a moment, and then felt a little familiar.He changed into his home clothes, took the new watch out of the box in the living room, brought it to the cloakroom, and compared it with the old watch.

I don't know if the designers of this watch brand have the same preferences in recent years, or Su Xi has made no progress in the aesthetics of watches in recent years.It is clear that one was bought a few years ago, and the other is only bought today.

Nie Jingze stared at the two watches in front of him, and for no apparent reason, he saw something of a couple's style.

The expression on his face remained the same, but for some reason in his heart, he didn't really want to give away the new watch in his hand.

However, this thought was only fleeting, and Nie Jingze did not pursue it carefully.He put the watch back into the packing box, turned on the TV in the living room, switched to the sports channel, glanced at the content of the program in a disenchanted manner, and turned to take a shower in the bathroom.

When I came out of the shower, the content of the program had been changed to the commentary of the basketball game.He covered the top of his wet hair with a dry towel, bent down and sat down on the sofa, and when he picked up the mobile phone beside him, he noticed two missed calls from Shen Sui above the screen.

He moved his thumb to the top of the screen, and when he was about to press the dial button, the long doorbell rang first.Nie Jingze put down his phone, and without looking at the surveillance video outside the door, got up to open the door for the other party.

There is no one who will ring the doorbell of his house at this time, except Shen Sui.

When he returned to China a few weeks ago, he was unwilling to move back home, so he simply bought an apartment in the building where Shen Sui lives now.During his two years abroad, although he didn't make any plans to root his future business abroad, after making small troubles, he still had a lot of spare money in his hands, except for daily living expenses.

The living expenses that Nie Mingrong called him are still left intact on the bank card, but the other party seems to have never thought of checking his account.

Shen Sui changed his shoes and entered the door with ease, raised his head and asked, "I called you, why didn't you answer?"

Nie Jingze left him at the entrance, went back to the living room and sat down first, "I'm taking a shower, I didn't hear you."

Shen Sui stepped on the pair of house slippers that he often wore, and first glanced at the TV, then sat down beside him, and leaned back lazily, "Are you going to the school celebration?"

Nie Jingze didn't answer directly, "You came here to ask this question?"

"Isn't it because the college classmates are making a fuss and asking the monitor to organize a class reunion?" Shen Sui lowered his eyelids, "Didn't the fucking position of monitor when I was studying back then just stay on my head for four years?"

Nie Jingze reached out to pick up the cigarette case on the coffee table, his expression was unclear in the dim TV light, "No."

Shen Sui immediately jumped up from the sofa when he heard the words, "Aren't you going? Isn't your school team also planning to take this opportunity to organize a party?"

Nie Jingze was noncommittal, "It's not interesting, I won't go."

Shen Sui was silent for a while, really couldn't think of any good reason to persuade him, nodded and said: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. You don't have to go, but I can't." He sighed and said yes After watching the basketball game on TV for a while, I realized the strangeness of my body.

Sitting up from the sofa just now in amazement, something was vaguely pressed under him.

He reached out and took out a gift box containing a watch.

Shen Sui opened the gift box, "When did you start wearing watches of this brand?"

Nie Jingze glanced at him, "Bought it as a gift."

"Who is it for?" Shen Sui's tone was puzzled. After waiting for a while, he didn't wait for the other party's answer, so he took out the watch on his own initiative and put it on his wrist. It seems that this watch is quite suitable for me, why don't you give it to me."

Nie Jingze frowned, reached out to take the watch, and said with a cold face, "Don't mess with my things."

"If you don't move, don't move." Shen Sui nodded perfunctorily, and said to himself, "I'd like to see who will wear this precious watch of yours in the end."

Shen Qingyi wanted to ask Su Xi to come out to catch up on the old days, but she didn't want Su Xi to be busier than her.She thought about Su Xi's attire when they met that day, and she didn't mention Su Xi's work too much in the WeChat chat.However, Su Xi told the story frankly, she thought about it, and finally simply went to the shop where Su Xi worked to eat hot pot in the blue sky and daylight, wearing a hat and a mask.

She entered the private room on the second floor, and under the strange gaze of the waiter, she generously ordered a meal for two.When the pot bottom and side dishes were brought out, Shen Qingyi excused the waiter from the private room and called Su Xi in.

Su Xi vaguely guessed Shen Qingyi's purpose of reminiscing with him, and just as he didn't have time to eat lunch, he pulled the chair across the table and sat down.The two faced each other face to face, and there was no strangeness in the topic of conversation that they hadn't seen for two years.

Most of this is also due to the relationship between him and the other party who gradually became acquainted because of Yang Ji, and Shen Qingyi's much more generous and straightforward personality now.

Although he didn't spend much time watching TV, and he rarely paid attention to the news in the entertainment industry, he had heard about Shen Qingyi's popularity and reputation in the past two years.The news that occasionally fell into his ears was pieced together, and Su Xi could also learn from it that the other party became famous overnight as an actor of Chinese descent abroad about a year ago.

The two of them were halfway through the meal, but Shen Qingyi never mentioned the business.Su Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and deliberately diverted the topic in one direction: "Domestic actors want to go abroad, but you want to return to China to develop."

Shen Qingyi was slightly stunned, and curled her lips, "Isn't that right? My manager said the same thing. It's just that his words are far less pleasant than yours." She lowered her eyes and hesitated a little, "I'm going back to China It's because..." As if she didn't know how to speak, Shen Qingyi paused slightly.

After a while, she raised her head and smiled brightly, straight to the point: "Su Xi, are you still in contact with Yang Ji?"

Su Xi shook his head.

Shen Qingyi didn't have much disappointment on her face, instead she nodded as expected, "That's right." She thought for a while, and then added, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for asking you to help me keep a secret from Yang Ji, You really did it. Obviously you have a better relationship with him."

Su Xi seemed to be lost in memory, and after a long time, he asked: "Do you still like him now?"

Shen Qingyi raised her hand to brush her long chestnut-colored curly hair, with a calm expression, "I chose my current career because of him. Although I don't know," she looked blank for a moment, "Has he seen it all these years?" I."

Su Xi frowned, "If that's the case, I regret that I didn't tell him your secret before leaving school."

Shen Qingyi shook her head, "I didn't say it at the beginning, because there were reasons and concerns." She looked calm and murmured, "I heard that your class will organize a reunion on the day of the school anniversary, and I want to meet him—"

She didn't explain the reason clearly, and Su Xi didn't intend to find out.He said to Shen Qingyi: "If you need a reasonable identity to be able to appear at the class reunion, I can accompany you."

Shen Qingyi was silent for a second, looked at him with a bright face, and laughed, "I wanted to ask you out for dinner earlier, and it was indeed on my mind. It's just that I didn't know your specific situation at the time. Now I know, but I I can't say this anymore. You have a good relationship with Yang Ji, but you also have no contact with him. To be honest, I don't think you would want to join the class reunion at the university."

Su Xi finished listening quietly, "You also know that I have the best relationship with him. Back then, I unilaterally cut off contact with him." He looked serious, "Now, I also kind of want to see him."

What's more, after thinking about it carefully, Su Xi began to feel more and more that the class president in college would not send him an email inviting him to the class meeting.The person who sent him an email in the name of the squad leader must be Yang Ji.
