Did Zhou Jing retire today?

It was almost eight o'clock after dinner, when Zhou Jing was cleaning up the mess, he nudged Tang Jue with his elbow.

"How long are you staying in Nanjing?"

"I would like to stay longer," Tang Jue sighed, "but I have a material to shoot tomorrow afternoon, and I have to go back to Beijing early in the morning."

"So fast?" Zhou Jing frowned.

Seeing this, Tang Jue frowned: "What? Can't bear to let my brother go?"

"Gewuen..."

"Brother Zhou, the takeaway boxes have been washed, is there anything else to do?"

Zhou Jing turned around and saw that Lin Xuanyin was looking at him with a smile, and quickly said, "There's nothing else, we'll do the rest, thanks for your hard work."

After thanking Lin Xuanyin, Zhou Jing turned around and continued to scold Tang Jue: "Go away! Who is so reluctant, I'm just a little surprised. Will you still be in double row at that time?"

"Row! Why not? What time is it now?"

The corners of Lin Xuanyin's mouth froze slightly, and she was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Shubai: "I told you two, don't play too late at night, one has to go to work, and the other has to catch a plane, don't miss it, you know?"

"When did I miss something?" Tang Jue raised his head and glared at Shen Shubai.

Shen Shubai ignored him, folded his arms and said to himself, "Anyway, I'll knock on the door at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and you can figure it out."

Tang Jue clicked impatiently: "Okay, okay! Let's go!"

Zhou Jing saw Mi Tao standing beside Shen Shubai with a look of hesitation, and said with a smile: "We won't play too late, don't worry."

"..." Am I worried about this?I'm worried about your chastity!

Mi Tao pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Then...you pay attention to your time...I, I will knock on the door at six o'clock!"

"Six o'clock?" Zhou Jing froze for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Okay. Then you can help me get my washing things later."

"Washing things? Aren't you going to sleep in your room tonight?" Mi Tao asked anxiously.

"I originally planned to go back to sleep after playing until after eleven o'clock!" Zhou Jing said innocently, "But you knocked on the door at six o'clock in the morning, so I don't want to bother if I sleep a little longer. Anyway, Tang Jue Room available."

"..."

She didn't expect to lift a rock but hit her own foot, Mi Tao was speechless for a long time.

At this time, it was too deliberate to change her words and say that she would come to call the door later. After holding back for a long time, she could only exhort feebly: "...don't play too late."

"I know." Zhou Jing waved his hand.

Seeing that Shen Shubai and Mi Tao had already said they were going to leave, Lin Xuanyin couldn't hold back any longer, so she forced a smile on her face and said she wanted to go back to rest, and then left Tang Jue's room step by step.

Watching Lin Xuanyin leave, Tang Jue glanced at Zhou Jing who had already taken out his phone and nestled on the sofa, and pretended to say unintentionally: "I feel that Lin Xuanyin is a bit reckless!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jing was a little surprised: "Why? She has a very cheerful and generous personality."

Tang Jue walked up to Zhou Jing and sat down, and said thoughtfully, "Really? She basically didn't look at me today, and I thought she was shy."

"Huh?" Zhou Jing was even more puzzled, "I saw that you two had a good chat when you were peeling the lettuce just now."

Tang Jue smiled: "That's because it's about love and marriage."

"Love and marriage?" Zhou Jing frowned, "Why did you talk about this?" It couldn't be Lin Xuanyin...

Tang Jue deliberately turned her head and thought for a while before answering: "She said she wanted to learn how to cook, but she couldn't always eat takeaway food. What will happen when she gets married..."

The more Zhou Jing listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. She panicked inexplicably, and said hesitantly, "She...couldn't be..."

"Ah!" Tang Jue suddenly called out, "She doesn't like you, does she?"

Unexpectedly being robbed, Zhou Jing slowly opened his mouth wide: "...what the hell?"

"Look," Tang Jue sat sideways on the sofa, facing Zhou Jing and analyzed carefully, "She said she wants to learn to cook, and she doesn't want to eat takeaway all the time, and it's impossible for someone to do it all the time after she gets married. Hinting at you?"

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but his heart was inexplicably relieved: "Why did you hint at me? She said she wanted to get married in front of you, maybe she was hinting that she likes you!"

Tang Jue twitched her lips: "I've only known her for a long time."

"I've only known her for three months, how could she like me?"

"How is it impossible? Three months is enough time to spend day and night together," Tang Jue rested his arms on the back of the sofa, supported his head with his palms, and looked at Zhou Jing intently, "Besides, you really don't feel anything at all?"

"I..." Lin Xuanyin's inadvertent feelings for the past three months finally took shape in her mind, and Zhou Jing was momentarily at a loss for words.

Tang Jue's eyes darkened, and then he forced himself to smile and said, "What? Finally realized it?"

Empathy for people and things is the basic quality of an actor. When necessary, you can cry when you look at the bleak autumn scene, let alone the fresh feelings from one person?

Zhou Jing was silent for a while, then lowered her head and picked up the phone: "Oh."

"Oh? Knowing that a girl likes you, is your reaction like this?" What about joy?proud?This reaction is too flat, right?Although Tang Jue was quite happy in his heart, he was even more puzzled.

"Otherwise?" Zhou Jing looked up at Tang Jue, "I don't like her."

Before Tang Jue could speak, he continued, "And what does she like about me? I only see her as an ordinary colleague, and there is no difference between her and the rest of the crew. She only sees my working side. She doesn't know what the real me looks like, so what does she like about me? Face?"

At the end, Zhou Jing sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Tang Jue instinctively sensed the meaning behind Zhou Jing's words, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with liking your face, you are so pretty."

"It looks good but can't be eaten," Zhou Jing scratched his hair irritably, "Are you still playing the game? If you don't hit me, I'll go back."

Tang Jue quickly picked up the phone: "Take a call! Who said no more calls? Come!"

After playing a few games, seeing that Zhou Jing was in a good mood, Tang Jue tentatively asked, "What are you going to do about Lin Xuanyin?"

"Stay as it is," Zhou Jing picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, "I can't control other people's feelings, but my attitude will not change. If I like it, I like it, and if I don't like it, I don't like it. She is an ordinary colleague and friend, and I will reciprocate courtesy. But if she says something outrageous, I will refuse, and then cut off contact."

Tang Jue's face changed slightly: "Why do you want to cut off contact?"

Zhou Jing gave him a strange look: "Before telling the truth, this matter is just our speculation. It may be that I have too much self-awareness and misunderstood her. But if I tell the truth, I know she likes me, what else can I say?" Isn’t it Neptune’s behavior to be friends? So it’s better to break up the friendship.”

Late at night, Tang Jue tossed and turned on the bed because of Zhou Jing's words, unable to sleep peacefully.

I was in a panic before I came here, but now... I'm even more panicked.

"It's over..." Tang Jue lay on his back on the bed, with his arms half covering his brows and eyes, and smiled silently.

This smile was both bitter and sweet, it was so bitter that his eyes were astringent, but it was sweet all the way to the depths of his soul.

The next morning, Zhou Jing was woken up by Mi Tao's serial phone call, opened the door and went into the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out of the wash, he bumped into Tang Jue who had just woken up, and he was startled with just one glance.

"Why are the dark circles so heavy? Did you not sleep last night?"

Tang Jue leaned against the wall and yawned: "I didn't fall asleep."

"Insomnia?"

"Ah, that's right," Tang Jue laughed, "Are you going to work now?"

"Go to the gym for a run first," Zhou Jing paused, and couldn't help reminding, "Drink a glass of milk before going to bed at night, and don't play with your phone."

Tang Jue smiled: "Isn't playing with your phone before going to bed a standard ritual for falling asleep?"

"And insomnia until dawn?" Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, "Let's go, what time do you go to the airport? I'll see you off."

"08:30."

Zhou Jing gestured OK and left, leaving Tang Jue still leaning against the wall savoring his white eyes.

"Well, I feel cute even if I roll my eyes, it's hopeless."

Sentencing himself to death happily, Tang Jue walked into the bathroom to wash up, and then at seven o'clock, Shen Shubai screamed.

"Did you go digging coal with Zhou Jing last night? The dark circles under your eyes almost fell to the ground! You still have to shoot commercials in the afternoon, sir, are you trying to force Anton to death?"

An Dong is Tang Jue's exclusive makeup and hair stylist, taciturn but tender-hearted.

"Okay, stop howling, who doesn't want to sleep if they can?" Tang Jue rubbed his forehead, went to the sofa and lay down.

"You think I want to howl? Where's the mosquito? Mosquito... If you're here, make a noise!" After being patted on the shoulder, he realized that Guo Ziwen was behind him. He applied hot compresses for an emergency."

After Guo Ziwen left, Shen Shubai walked to the sofa and asked Tang Jue curiously, "What did you and Zhou Jing say last night?"

Tang Jue covered his brows and eyes with his arms, lay on his back on the sofa, and after a long time said, "What do you say?"

"Don't play dumb with me, it's about Lin Xuanyin!" Shen Shubai sat down on the single sofa closest to Tang Jue, "I said why did you suddenly figure out that you want to come to visit the class? I dare you to find a rival in love! Don't tell me. You didn't see it, but Lin Xuanyin almost had the words 'I like Zhou Jing' engraved on her forehead! You two masters fought against each other in two rounds but there was no winner. If you say you didn't take advantage of the opportunity to be alone with Zhou Jing to make trouble ,I do not believe!"

After waiting for a while, seeing that Tang Jue didn't respond, Shen Shubai stretched out his hand and shook him: "Don't pretend to be asleep, speak up!"

Knowing that Shen Shubai loves gossip and never gives up until he achieves his goal, Tang Jue took a deep breath, got up and briefly explained what happened last night.

Shen Shubai rubbed his chin for a long while: "Zhou Jing looks very sensitive, but she is unexpectedly very slow in emotion... Oh no, you were so obvious in front of Lin Xuanyin yesterday, aren't you afraid that she will be like you, and be in front of Zhou Jing?" Did Jing pierce your mind in front of you?"

Tang Jue was silent for a while, then shook his head: "She won't."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because she's smart," Tang Jue laughed at himself. "Just like me, I took the initiative to break Lin Xuanyin's mind because Zhou Jing was emotionally more inclined to me than her. But if she did this, it would be because of slander. If my friend loses Zhou Jing's trust, she must wake up Zhou Jing and help us. And even if she succeeds, she can't guarantee that she can replace me."

Tang Jue sighed, leaning on the back of the sofa, looking up at the ceiling: "Smart people are too thoughtful, so they look forward and backward, and don't dare to put all their eggs in one basket."

"just like me."
