Ceaseless

After a long time, he was the first to speak softly: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Nie Jingze let go of his hand in the dark, retracted his long stretched legs to make way for him, "The bathroom is not in your direction."

Su Xi reacted, passed in front of Nie Jingze, and walked towards the glowing light in the dark.The bathroom was quiet and spacious. When he bent over to wash his hands at the sink after using the toilet, he caught a glimpse of a watch and two cufflinks in front of the sink from the corner of his eye.Like something left behind by a moviegoer.

The watch and cufflinks looked expensive. He turned off the faucet in front of the pool and wanted to go out to inform the cinema staff.But at the moment when he looked up, he heard a slight knock of the door panel from the compartment behind him.The voice was intermittent, and it was not difficult to hear that there was even a faint low gasp in it.

Su Xi paused, looked clearly at the watch and cufflinks on the sink, and quietly retreated out of the bathroom.But in his mind, he couldn't help but associate the watch he saw just now with the watch on Nie Jingze's wrist.

The sense of familiarity has not diminished with the passage of time, but even worse.

He walked absently back along the way he had come.

Nie Jingze still bent his legs and knees to make way for him, and Su Xi walked slowly past the opponent, but because his vision was too dark, he kicked the opponent's side, and he staggered a step forward due to inertia.

Nie Jingze reached out to pull him.

Su Xi managed to stabilize his body that was falling forward, but was pulled back a step, and his heel stepped on the man's foot.He subconsciously moved his foot away from the opponent's foot, but he couldn't find any open space to settle down.The moment his body lost its fulcrum, he fell down on Nie Jingze's lap, and pressed his hands tightly on Nie Jingze's arm resting on the edge of the armrest of the chair.

Bearing the sudden weight, Nie Jingze's thigh muscles tensed slightly.

Su Xi wanted to retract his hands, but realized belatedly that the palm of his left hand seemed to be stuck on some hard object.He immediately realized that the thing he pressed under his palm was the watch that Nie Jingze was wearing.

The heating outlet above the head is still sending hot air continuously, the voice of the actors reading their lines on the big screen is mixed with the sensational background music, and the cool touch on the watch seems to have soaked into the skin of his palm, jumping up into his skin in brain memory.

Su Xi finally remembered that the watch Nie Jingze was wearing now was somewhat similar to the one he gave him back then.

The watch he bought that year was not a limited edition, but he still hoped that what he gave Nie Jingze was unique.When he bought the watch, he had someone engrave something on the underside of the dial.It was not Nie Jingze's name, nor his and Nie Jingze's names, but his own name.He hoped that the other party would wear a watch with his name engraved on it.

The plot of the movie is coming to an end, the people watching the movie in the front row are drowsy in the warm wind, and the sign of the safe passage emits a faint green light in the darkness.

Nie Jingze extended an arm around Su Xi's waist.

Su Xi quietly picked up the watch.

Both of them are a little distracted.

The arm wrapped around Su Xi's waist slowly retracted, gently pinching his earlobe in the darkness.

The slender fingers pressed against the skin of Nie Jingze's wrist, and slowly reached under the dial.

Nie Jingze pressed his broad palm against his face.

Su Xi's fingertips paused slightly.

He felt the familiar but unfamiliar notch on the bottom of the dial.

Nie Jingze kissed him on the chin.

The movie screen jumped to the scrolling cast list, and the lights suddenly turned on in the projection hall. The sleepy person in the front row woke up rubbing his eyes in the dazzling light, and Su Xi turned his head to look at him in a daze.

Nie Jingze stared at him closely, and there were clusters of lights flowing in his pupils.

The voices of complaining gradually poured into the ears, and the people watching the movie in the front row seemed to have started to get up and leave.

Su Xi seemed to wake up from a dream, and stood up from Nie Jingze's lap without a moment's hesitation.

Nie Jingze frowned slightly, pulled him back into his arms and sat down, put one hand on the back of his head, pinched his jaw with the other, and kissed him on the lips.

The voices of people around were infinitely amplified at this moment, rushing towards his position, but fell rapidly at the moment they reached the critical point, and finally turned into a vast silence.

Nie Jingze raised his hands to cover his eyes.

The light on the retina disappeared instantly, and his brain went blank.

The behind-the-scenes staff list on the big screen has rolled to the end, and the next thing is egg time.

The cleaning lady carried a broom and a dustpan and swiped from the first row to the ninth row, and the unattended Easter eggs finally finished their one-man show.

The cleaning aunt couldn't help coughing.

Nie Jingze let him go, Su Xi stood up with a little unsteady heartbeat, and walked out absent-mindedly.

A promotional advertisement before the start of the next movie has already been placed on the screen, and the audience has entered the venue one after another.Su Xi walked against the flow of people towards the door, and only when he walked out of the movie theater did he gradually regain his composure and remembered that he hadn't taken his umbrella.

When he went to bed that night, he had some insomnia.

Whether it was the fact that Nie Jingze still kept the watch he gave him, or the sudden kiss at the end of the movie, he was caught off guard.When he was tossing and turning in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, he sent a message like a bewilderment asking Zhong Qing, the ex-boyfriend who broke up for many years still has the things you gave him that he thought he had lost, why?

After expressing his surprise that he hadn't slept at this point in time, Zhong Qing replied nervously, that watch must be very expensive, right?Is it studded with diamonds?

Su Xi couldn't help lying on the bed and smiling, put down the phone and turned over, and gradually fell asleep.

When he went to work the next day, the chef who was drinking soy milk at the door next door stopped him and asked him if he had gone to the movies.If not, go to see it earlier, if the expiration date has passed, it will be a real waste.

Su Xi nodded and said, "I've already gone to see it."

The chef brother was very interested, "What movie did you watch?"

Su Xi replied: "Romance movies."

The chef brother asked again: "Is the movie good?"

Su Xi paused after hearing the words, recalling what happened yesterday, but stopped talking.She just smiled at him, hurriedly covered it up with the sentence "The movie didn't end well", and walked towards the store.

Leaving the chef to ponder for a moment, he hesitated and said to himself: "Does this mean... the movie is not very good?"

Business as usual for the day.In the evening, I clocked in to get off work, and walked home on a remote and uninhabited path.Open the sofa bed in the bedroom, find a change of clean clothes from the closet shared by the two lovers, and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he turned on the old TV in the living room, turned on the hair dryer and sat in front of the TV to dry his hair.The phone on the sofa next to him rang.

When it was Zhong Qing's call, he turned off the hair dryer in his hand, picked up the phone with the other hand, and almost slid the answer button with his fingertips.However, when his gaze swept across the lit screen in the next second, the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.

Not a love call, nor a call from anyone in your phone contacts.The beating caller ID in sight is a string of numbers that have not been saved.

Maybe he wouldn't be able to recognize it if he changed to another number, but he would never fail to recognize Nie Jingze's phone number that he had always memorized when he was in college.He didn't expect that the other party still kept the phone number he used when he was in college.

He also didn't know why Nie Jingze's phone number was saved in his current phone number.

Su Xi picked up the phone, but didn't speak.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little puzzled, "Hello, can you hear me?"

Knowing that it wasn't Nie Jingze's voice, he paused, "Hello, I can hear you."

The man blurted out the name of a bar, "This gentleman is drunk at our place, please come and pick him up."

Su Xi remained silent.

He didn't know why the other party called here, but he didn't know much about Nie Jingze's social circle in the past two years, and after thinking about it, he could only think of Shen Sui.He said: "Call Shen Sui, his phone address book has this name, Sui is Sui from the Sui Dynasty."

The other party was also silent for a second, "I'm sorry, I've already called that Mr. Shen you mentioned, but the call couldn't get through."

Su Xi lowered his eyes, "What about the other people in the address book? Can't you get through?"

The other party didn't speak, and there was a noisy ringing on the other end of the phone.After the noise, the man finally spoke, but his tone was a little hasty: "Sorry, what did you just say, please say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

"It's nothing." Su Xi said slowly, "Send me the address."

He hung up the phone, touched the still wet hair with his fingers, and was a little lost in front of the TV.

The waiter at the bar handed the mobile phone to Shen Sui, and Shen Sui sent him a tip.The waiter smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Sui waved his hand, turned his head and returned the phone to Nie Jingze, and grinned at him.

Nie Jingze raised his eyes and glanced at him without making any judgments.
