song for the city

Liang Zhang imagined many ways to have a showdown with Yin Jing, maybe one day he finally couldn't bear those blind dates, or when he was 40 years old and still unmarried, but he never thought of such a dramatic unfolding, and he didn't give it to him at all. He prepares the space.

In the confined space, only the plastic bags of beer were shaking. Liang Zhang and Yin Jing stood at the two corners behind the elevator, each with their own thoughts. Xiang Pei stood in the middle of the elevator door, with his back to Liang Zhang, his head slightly lowered. Hanging, a few strands of hair.The atmosphere in the elevator was strangely silent, Liang Zhang bit his fingertips, hoping that the number in the elevator could be picked faster.

When she was anxious, Yin Jing snatched the plastic bag from Liang Zhang's hand, opened it to take a look, her face seemed to relax for a moment, and then frowned: "I'm not telling you to drink less."

Liang Zhang didn't want to argue in such an embarrassing situation. In order to avoid the quarrel starting early, he spread his hands: "I'll pay attention later."

Xiang Pei coughed lightly, and the elevator door opened.Yin Jing squeezed Xiang Pei from the door, and walked out first, as if fleeing the scene of a fire.Xiang Pei didn't stand still and was knocked aside, he looked at Liang Zhang helplessly: "I haven't seen you for many years, your mother is getting more and more irritable."

Liang Zhang looked towards the door: "It's menopause, be careful later."

There was a familiar plastic bag in the trash can in the living room. Liang Zhang bent down to pick it up. As expected, it was the beer he just bought, which was still cold.

"Throw it away without drinking it, it's too wasteful, and I'm not a rich man." With a smile on the corner of Liang Zhang's mouth, he pulled it apart, and the white foam of the beer came out a little, he took a big gulp from his lips, refreshing sigh.

"At least let me have a drink."

He handed another bottle of wine in the bag to Xiang Pei next to him: "Would you like a sip while it's still cold?"

Xiang Pei took the beer and put it on the table without drinking it.

Yin Jing turned pale with anger, she pointed at Xiang Pei and said to Liang Zhang, "He lives with you?"

"He has a name, and his name is Xiang Pei." Liang Zhang held Yin Jing's finger and pressed it down slowly. "He has no place to live, so he stays at my house temporarily."

Yin Jing sneered and said, "No place to live? He has no place to live in such a big day city, who is he lying to? Liang Zhang, let him go out, I want to talk to you alone."

Xiang Pei didn't object, and turned to leave, but Liang Zhang grabbed his arm and pulled him back: "There's nothing you can't say in front of him. Tell me what you want to say now, and I don't want to talk about it in the future."

Yin Jing took a step closer, her mouth opened and closed seriously at Liang Zhang: "I don't care what your relationship is, separate me immediately, you can't let him continue to live here, and you have to see the girl I arranged for you this time."

Liang Zhang regretted not leaving his ears out. Every time he heard Yin Jing's long-winded accusations, he just wanted to lose his hearing, and it would be best if he lost all his senses.

"What if I don't see you?"

"Then you will never want to go home, neither your father nor I will recognize you."

Liang Zhang found it ridiculous. He really didn't think Yin Jing would deny him, but Liang Ansheng was indeed a possibility. Since this threat had no gold content, he said, "He has no place to live. What if I help as an old friend?"

"Liang Zhang!" Yin Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and then lowered her voice after screaming sharply, "Don't you feel ashamed? Have you ever thought about how you will live in the future?"

"I have arms and legs, normal intelligence, and a good income. Can't I survive in this world?"

"That was not what I meant!"

"You just can't admit that your son is gay. You are not afraid of what others think of me, you are afraid of what others think of you. Mom, I beg you to be sober, you have controlled me enough, you should stop deceiving yourself .”

Yin Jing's lips trembled, and she didn't speak for a long time. Her appearance was still meticulous, her hair was always well-cut, she wore expensive suits, and she stepped on high-heeled shoes. Even at her age, wearing high-heeled shoes would risk spraining her feet.Her wrinkles are no longer hidden under the skin, but emerge quickly like buds after the rain, and spread conspicuously on her fair skin. Liang Zhang knows that Yin Jing is just bluffing, and her strength can no longer impress Liang. threatening.

She stared at Liang Zhang with fine lines of eyes, as if she wanted to burn a hole in his skin, and finally she could thread another thread, and the thread was to be held in her hand.

The natural reaction of family affection prevented Liang Zhang from rebelling forever. He couldn't bear it, and couldn't directly witness his mother's instant aging. He relaxed his dry voice, and before he could speak in the future, he said to Pei without opening his mouth: "Auntie, Liang Zhang has no intention of reconciling with me."

Yin Jing raised her wet eyes and looked at Xiang Pei, as if the words were more believable when said from Xiang Pei's mouth.

"But I can't reassure you, because I'm trying to redeem our relationship, but I believe you shouldn't be too surprised, after all..."

Liang Zhang turned his head slightly and stared at Xiang Pei.

In the second half of Xiang Pei's words, I don't know which nerve hit Yin Jing, and her voice became higher: "Are you going to continue to delay Liang Zhang's life?"

She raised her hand, but the slap didn't fall on Xiang Pei's face, but on Liang Zhang's who was blocking him. Yin Jing didn't expect it, and wanted to touch Liang Zhang's face in a panic.

Liang Zhang's face was slapped aside: "Xiang Pei is not your son, you can hit me if you want, but what's the matter with hitting him?"

The farce ended with Yin Jing dragging the suitcase out. Liang Zhang glanced at Xiang Pei by the door. He actually wanted to ask Xiang Pei what he hadn't finished.

Said to Pei: "Is there something wrong with your face?"

Liang Zhang touched his face: "Why don't you let me call back?"

"It's okay," Xiang Pei smiled and shook his head, "But let's chase your mother back first. I'll be staying in a hotel these days."

Liang Zhang's skin was not white, and he didn't leave any obvious palm prints.The slap just now sounded quite crisp. Yin Jing thought about slapping Pei, so she didn't hold back the strength. If the slap really fell on Xiang Pei's face, his white skin would definitely turn red. I feel very lucky.

"Then pack up your things, my mother will only stay for a few days."

Xiang Pei tore off the hair tie from his hair, and the black hair fell out in a mess, making him look tired all of a sudden, but in fact he was really tired.His body and soul felt tired, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for days and nights.

He looked at Liang Zhang with sunken eyes, and the smoke in his hand was concealed. Liang Zhang couldn't see Xiang Pei's specific expression clearly. He wanted to get closer and see more clearly, but Xiang Pei turned his head: "I can Don't you want to pack your luggage? Just leave your luggage with you, and I'll take some clothes and go."

The dishes on the table were already cold, the soup was covered with a layer of oil, and the lights made the house look warm.After living in Xiang Pei for a few weeks, a lot of things have been added to the house, and it gradually looks like a home instead of a temporary hotel.

Liang Zhang thinks that he is quite naive sometimes, cooking and drinking some wine and watching movies, these normal people can do together, he is destined to not be entitled to enjoy.

Liang Zhang replied, "Okay."

Liang Zhang tried his best to persuade Yin Jing to go back, saying that Xiang Pei was not at his house anymore.Yin Jing asked if Xiang Pei moved out?Liang Zhang answered truthfully, saying that it was only temporary, Yin Jing didn't say anything more, insisted that he would go home tomorrow, and asked Liang Zhang to go home when he was clean with Xiang Pei, or else he would not come back.Liang Zhang didn't fight for it, he didn't think it was necessary, and he didn't want to go back and hit the gun.

She didn't talk to Liang Zhang anymore. She brought a series of food from Nanchuan and put some new clothes on the sofa. , she may not be able to tell, Liang Zhang decided to keep this secret forever.

Yin Jing came in a hurry and left even more hastily, without letting Liang Zhang see her off, she went to the airport alone.

After she left, Liang Zhang felt sore in the face of a much cleaner home. He missed home and also missed Yin Jing and Liang Ansheng. Home is the backing of people, a shade that cannot be lost, Liang Zhang does not want to lose the only backing, But it seems that Yin Jing didn't give him a way out, and he insisted on losing it.

Before Liang Zhang called Xiang Pei, Lai Yu called first, and as soon as he got through, his loud voice came over quickly. Liang Zhang took the phone away in pain, rubbed his temples and asked him what was wrong.

"Are you busy recently, big director?"

Liang Zhang smiled and scolded: "Fuck you, don't call me that. Talk to me quickly."

"Isn't this afraid that you are still filming?"

"No, I'm giving myself a vacation."

"Then do you have time to come to my wedding next week? Be my best man." Lai Yu sounded happy, showing off on purpose.

"You and Qiao Yujie are going to get married? Then I will definitely come." Liang Zhang sighed, and Lai Yu said that the invitation would be sent to him tomorrow.

Perhaps at a critical point in life, friends and family members around him are getting married one after another, and life has become a little faster. Liang Zhang is still not used to it, and Xiang Pei's face appears in his mind, and Xiang Pei's firm expression in front of Yin Jing.

Xiang Pei didn't expect to be able to go back so soon, and he didn't use much of the things he brought to the hotel.In the evening, Liang Zhang asked Pei to go out for dinner, saying that he wanted to make up for his mother's actions last night.

Liang Zhang ordered a table of dishes, and Xiang Pei was startled: "Are you sure we can finish it?"

"Why can't I finish eating? You underestimate me too much."

Xiang Pei added tea to Liang Zhang: "I see you have lost a lot of weight, so I thought you didn't eat well."

"I'm exercising. I should show you my figure. It's not that I don't have any flesh. However, I did not eat regularly during filming. The main reason is that I'm too busy and it's not easy to be a director."

He began to tell Pei Xiang the bad things he had encountered in filming, such as which actor didn't cooperate to play big names, and the recent disagreement between the editor and him, which made him not in the mood to eat properly.When Liang Zhang started to chatter, he forgot to eat, and Xiang Pei picked up vegetables while listening to him. Liang Zhang stopped talking, and found that the vegetables in the bowl were piled up into mountains.

"Why do you just bring me food?" Liang Zhang looked at Pei and didn't eat much, and turned to bring him food.

"Liang Zhang, you are finally willing to talk to me."

Liang Zhang looked at Xiang Pei in confusion: "Are all the things I told you before talking to idiots?"

Putting down his chopsticks to Pei, the chair moved a little closer to Liang Zhang: "I'm talking about normal speech. You used to talk too much. You even told me about an ant you saw on the road."

Liang Zhang frowned, scratched his chin, and fell into self-doubt: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes, but now you don't tell me anything, I almost thought you really didn't have feelings for me."

Xiang Pei seemed a little aggrieved.

"No, it's just that there's not that much to say."

"Then you mean that you have feelings for me." Xiang Pei didn't feel wronged immediately, and changed to a bright expression.

The technique of cliché was as good as ever, Liang Zhang couldn't say no to Xiang Pei, so he silently picked the dishes in the bowl.

"Just kidding, don't be unhappy." Xiang Pei said.

Liang Zhang swallowed his food and said, "I'm going back to Nanchuan next week."

The chair made a "thud" sound on the smooth ground, which aroused Liang Zhang's goosebumps. He bit his chopsticks and looked up at Pei.

Xiang Pei stood up straight, put his hands on Liang Zhang's shoulders, his eyes approached Liang Zhang's lips, the breath around his body was terribly low, his forehead was about to touch Liang Zhang's, his chest rose and fell.

Liang Zhang could clearly see the crooked red blood in Xiang Pei's eyes.

"Don't go on a blind date."

"Who said I went on a blind date, I'll go back and be the best man."
