"Private life?" Lu Xu's middle finger and ring finger played with the metal necklace around his neck, and the silver necklace jingled in his hand.

This made Jiang Chengyue realize that Lu Xu's Chinese thesaurus might not have included this word yet.

He was about to explain when he heard Lu Xu say, "Although I don't understand the literal meaning, I guessed it. It means 'Jiang Chengyue likes Lu Xu', right?"

Jiang Chengyue opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Shameless, he thought.

The plastic wrap covering the tattoo can be removed in three to four hours. Jiang Chengyue went to the soundproof room where he practiced drums, sat on a stool, played a song, and set up a basic rhythm and speed practice.

When Lu Xu arranged this drum practice room, he found a special design. The sound insulation material wrapped the entire room. There was an entire wall of electronic screens on the wall facing the door, which could be used to play audio. In addition, the shelf There are all drum shields and radio equipment for drums, and Jiang Chengyue can complete the recording of the drum part only in this room.

"What are you thinking?" The door of the soundproof room was pushed open, and Lu Xu knocked on the door, "Come out and have something to eat."

Jiang Chengyue followed him to the living room, recalling her state of playing percussion in recent days: "In the past two days, I suddenly felt that I don't know how to improve the drum set."

Lu Xu listened to him quietly, and pushed the black and white checkered plate on the table over: "When did you have such an idea?"

Lu Xu gradually accepted his dietary preferences, and the desserts at home were no longer the private desserts of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, but replaced by cheap and high-quality street food.

Grilled chicken wings and spiked potatoes were placed on the black and white checkered plate, drenched in fresh sauce, and a small piece of tiramisu dotted with red berries was placed next to it, next to Lu Xu's black coffee.

"That time I went to assist Wujiang Band, and it started from that time." Jiang Chengyue said, "Sometimes I feel that this road has an end in sight, and sometimes I can't see it. I can't see where I can go in the end." expected."

This state is very mysterious, it seems to be shaken, but it doesn't seem to be. He doesn't even know how to describe it.

But Lu Xu understood: "Well, I understand how you feel."

Lu Xu: "You are not unpredictable. You need to jump out. If you want to improve, you should go to see different forms of music. And, let me be honest, the route you Mengbai chose from the very beginning was very commercial. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it seems that many people in your circle criticize commercialization, but in my opinion, commercialization is not a bad thing, which old active band is not backed by a commercial company?"

While biting a potato, Jiang Chengyue fixed her gaze on a small spot in the air, drooping her eyelashes in thought.Lu Xu saw farther and more objectively than him, which miraculously calmed down the anxiety in his heart especially since this afternoon.

But he had to admit with some frustration that Lu Xu was much more mature than him in certain things.

Snack time is short, and the black and white checkered utensils on the table need to be cleaned up.

Lu Xu accidentally broke the dishwasher two days ago, and no one came to help at the moment, so Jiang Chengyue had to collect the dishes and go to the kitchen to wash them by hand.

Lu Xu glanced at the dandelion tattoo that he just took off the plastic wrap behind his ear, it was red, beautiful and pitiful.

"Leave it alone, I'll do it." Lu Xu took the plate in his hand.

Jiang Chengyue followed to the kitchen and watched helplessly as Lu Xu turned on the tap.

"Let me do it!" He grabbed the plate, "Brother Lu, that's vegetable oil...not dish soap."

He just bought the kitchen supplies a few days ago, and he often uses them when cooking by himself.

Lu Xu put the vegetable oil back to its original place without any shame, wiped the water drops in his hand on his face, and pushed him away: "I'll do it."

"Go and answer the phone." Lu Xu said, "I've called 4 times from an unfamiliar number."

Lu Xu didn't save a note, but Jiang Chengyue had seen this number before, and it was Chen Andi's mobile phone number.

"What are you doing?" Andy Chen asked, "Are you busy?"

"It's okay." Lu Xu stood holding the plate in his foamy hands, "Wash a bowl."

Chen Andy was silent for two seconds, and said, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"It's up to you." Lu Xu stretched out his five fingers in the water, let the water wash away the foam on the back of his hands, and handed the plate to Jiang Chengyue, "You check."

"Speaking of business, I'm looking for Jiang Chengyue. The clothes for the shoot are ready and have already been delivered. I can let Jiang Chengyue try them on tomorrow." Chen Andy said, "I have also expanded the fashion business of short videos. During the shooting process, some small clips are featured, which can make a lot of money."

"Got it." The first thing Lu Xu did when he dried his hands was to hang up the phone.

Jiang Chengyue wiped the dishes, and quietly curled the corners of her mouth in the shadow by the cabinet.

He thought that for such a trivial matter as trying on clothes for a print shoot, he could do it by himself, but Lu Xu still followed him the next day.

"Aren't you working?" Jiang Chengyue put one hand on the car window and turned to ask Lu Xu.

"You think I'm annoying?"

"That's not true." Jiang Chengyue shook his head, "I don't want you to delay any work because of me."

"No." Lucy said.

The car drove past a certain square in the city, and a swallow stopped on the silver-white landmark of the city.

"In this season, swallows can still be seen here." Jiang Chengyue looked out the car window.

"Migratory birds migrate from north to south, they are just left behind." Lu Xu followed his gaze and glanced out the window.

"Then I hope it finds its way quickly."

The car quickly passed by the side of the square, and Jiang Chengyue lost sight of the migratory bird in a blink of an eye.

Chen Andi himself didn't have time to come over, so the clothes were sent to the shooting studio under NancyDeer. Jiang Chengyue came here once, and when he came again this time, he was a lot less curious.

For him and Lu Xu, the clothes to be worn in this plane shooting are all brand-new styles. They are from a small domestic brand. The combination of red and black is very bold, and the national style embroidery is matched with modern silver borders. .

But even though it is a brand new style, this time the look was also selected by Lu Xu from 7 alternative brands, and the shooting plan has also been revised many times.

In the huge dressing room, there were only Jiang Chengyue and Lu Xu. Jiang Chengyue was used to being stared at by Lu Xu when changing clothes. He lowered his head to fasten the belt with tassels. I called the makeup artist and talked about the shooting plan.

"This style needs hair extensions, the hair stands upright, and the makeup reflects the neat youthful feeling..."

At the beginning, Jiang Chengyue could still understand, but he felt a little sleepy when he heard the following details. When he raised his head again, Lu Xu had already finished talking about the plan with the makeup artist.

"Bored?" Lu Xu asked.

"It's okay." Jiang Chengyue dragged her slightly longer skirt, "It's just that I'm a little distracted."

"Mr. Lu, I will fly directly to the headquarters to find you next month?" the makeup artist asked one more question.

"Well, yes." Lu Xu said.

Jiang Chengyue looked up at Lu Xu with a puzzled expression on his face.

Lu Xu, this is... going away again?But having said that, Nancy Deer's spring and summer show is coming soon, it stands to reason that Lu Xu really has to go back and prepare.

No wonder Lu Xu has always tried every means to find time to accompany him recently.

On the way back, the car they took passed the square again, and it rained, and the stupid swallow on the landmark had disappeared.

Jiang Chengyue, who was wearing pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, watching the rainwater bloom transparent flowers in the swimming pool downstairs through the glass. Lu Xu pressed the light in the room with a snap, and appeared in his behind.

"Why did you come here? Play hide-and-seek with me? I've been looking for a long time." Lu Xu held his waist with both hands, with his five fingers sticking to his waistline, sliding to the position of his lower abdomen, and slowly tightened it. It's an intimate hug.

Jiang Chengyue was looking at Yuhua in a daze, and being hugged and lifted by Lu Xu, his feet were still off the ground. He tiptoed in a panic to find the carpet, and stepped on Lu Xu's instep.

"Let go." He patted the back of Lu Xu's hand.

Lu Xu was unexpectedly easy to get along with, he let go of his arms around his waist, and slowly pressed him against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window from behind, Jiang Chengyue panted lightly, and his cheek was pressed against the cold glass.

"Don't move, let you be happy." Lu Xu pressed him with his left hand, and slid his free right hand into the clothes along the neckline of his pajamas.

The thin callused hands from holding paintbrushes and cutting needles all year round contrasted with Jiang Chengyue's milky white skin from the collarbone down. avoidable.

Behind his ears near his neck, the little dandelion tattoos have faded red, making the skin behind his ears white, but Lu Xu still avoided that area, and there was a heavy weight on the slightly lower part of the back of his neck. He took a small bite, leaving a clear red mark.

"I'm sorry." Lu Xu said without sincerity, "I asked you to help me last time, and I forgot to coax you. If I don't do anything else today, I will help you."

Jiang Chengyue's reaction was half a beat slow: "Huh?"

There was a contrast between the coolness of the glass and the temperature of Lu Xu's hand. Lu Xu's hand was pressed down against his waist, and at a certain moment when he was holding him, he struggled a little with his head raised.

From Lu Xu's point of view, he is like a white swan whose wings are pressed against his back. Fragility and beauty are very softly mixed on his body. Touching the neck, brought trembling after another.

When Lu Xu made him face him, he bit the corner of his mouth, and there were still tears in his eyes.

"Are you scared or happy? Are your eyes so red?" Lu Xu said relentlessly, "It shouldn't be because of fear."

His voice was deep and thick, with the magnetism of a mature man, and when it fell in Jiang Chengyue's ears, it showed a faint sense of control.

Jiang Chengyue blinked and asked Lu Xu: "Wipe me clean."

"Where to wipe?" Lu Xu asked knowingly.

Jiang Chengyue glared at him, grabbed the sleeve of Lu Xu's pajamas, wiped away the tears by herself, deliberately ignored the slight itching and tingling at the end of her eyes, turned around fiercely, stepped on Lu Xu's instep with her bare feet, He hooked Lu Xu's neck and kissed him.

Lu Xu didn't care about the ridicule this time, he just stroked his back with one hand, again and again.

Lu Xu and he were equally afraid of his tears.

Three days later, Lu Xu dragged a small suitcase back to Nancy Deer's headquarters, and Jiang Chengyue sent him to the airport.

"Study hard, and don't skip class." Lu Xu ignored the eyes of the people around him, and kissed him on the forehead, "I'll be waiting for you when the spring and summer show comes."

"I know, I won't run around," Jiang Chengyue promised.

They have already had a long-distance relationship. Although it is not long, Jiang Chengyue has rich experience. He knows how to calculate the time difference to send messages to Lu Xu, and also knows how to report his daily schedule to Lu Xu interestingly. .

As the big show was approaching, Lu Xu seemed to be very busy. The once-a-day phone call became once every two days. Occasionally, when chatting, he would say that the composition of the photos he sent was not good.

"I won the band support fund from Barometer Records. Unlike the previous album contract, this time it is aimed at the overall development of the band. If there is funds, Meng Zhe's home side may be able to make sense." Jiang Cheng When Yue was talking to Mengbai's friends, an international phone call came in with an unfamiliar number.

But it's not surprising that Lu Xu sometimes calls him from the counter.

"Why is your husband still looking at you after he's gone abroad?" Meng Zhe teased.

"Shut up, shut up." Jiang Chengyue blushed slightly, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Brother Lu."

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, the redness on his ears faded, and his breathing became much lighter. A strange female voice said, "Hello, is this...Jiang Chengyue? Nurse Qu Jing's son?"

He slowly clasped his hand holding the phone, his fingertips felt cold, and tried his best to adjust his voice to a calm tone: "Yes, I am."

His fear of answering the phone reached its peak at that moment.

"It's like this, don't be too nervous." The other party probably heard the unnaturalness of his voice, "Today there was a conflict near us, Dr. Qu was slightly injured, but he was not feeling well that night and suddenly had acute appendicitis. After surgery, we transferred her to a nearby hospital, because she needed to recuperate and could not return to China, after thinking about it, we still need to inform her family.”

"I see." Jiang Chengyue's heart dropped a little when he was suddenly picked up. He was a little weak and couldn't hold the phone in his hand. "Please apply for me, and I will go and take care of her."

Jiang Chengyue has a passport. At the beginning of this year, she wanted to see Qu Jing, and she had been vaccinated against yellow fever, but she couldn't go because of the college entrance examination.

But now, it came in handy.

He calmed down, returned home, and simply packed the clothes he needed.

He has collected a wooden carved bird ornament, which he once placed on the window sill of the old house, and then brought to the dormitory of the university, and now he puts this unsent gift on Lu Xu's workbench.

In Manhattan, New York, the sun shone through the gauze curtain and climbed onto the window sill. Lu Xu opened his eyes and saw the voice message on the phone that Jiang Chengyue sent a few hours ago.

"Good morning, Lu Xu! Because of some unexpected circumstances, I'm going to a place far away. I sent you a screenshot of the ticket. But don't worry, I didn't skip class, and I didn't listen to you."

"The only thing I violated was that I didn't stay in this city obediently."

"Remember that stupid swallow we saw that day? Migratory birds migrate in fixed seasons, from north to south. One day, their wings will fly back to their original habitat with the southern wind."

"I'm a dull science student, I can't speak..."

"Please also treat me as a migratory bird. I will fly farther and for a shorter time. I am smarter than that swallow. I will not get lost on the way. Migratory birds will always fly back to the original place. When you think the time is up, You reach out to the sky, and I will fall into your palm."

"You are mine, Habitat."
