recession

In the next half a month, everything went smoothly.

Xu Yunqing had chosen the script for his next play, a crime film, in which he played the illegitimate son of a drug lord, who became an informant for the police after his mother died of a drug overdose.The film will start in mid-April, and Xu Yunqing has already signed the contract of intent.There is still a month before he joins the group, and he didn't take on too many jobs. He only cooperated with the promotion of "Long Summer" in China, and at the invitation of a friend, he volunteered to play a guest role in a drama .

There is only one performance every week at the N City Theater, and the roles are not heavy. Besides, Xu Yunqing has always liked this kind of performance, and the performance is far more enjoyable than exhausting.Tao Liyang originally hoped that he would take advantage of this time to take a good rest, seeing that he enjoyed it so much, he didn't say anything and let him go.

"Have you finished removing your makeup? I thought I'd have to wait a little longer...the thermos is filled with hot milk, so be careful not to burn it. I'll change this scene and we'll leave."

Tao Liyang has been a bit busy during this period. He originally had two scripts in hand at the same time. Last week, Yaoxing’s historical film project did not pass the platform meeting. I asked him temporarily to help adjust.

"There's no rush, you do your work first." Xu Yunqing took the cup but didn't drink it, leaning his elbows on the car window and staring at Tao Liyang in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Tao Liyang finished correcting the rest of the manuscript, put away his laptop and saw that he was still looking at him quietly.

"It's okay." Xu Yunqing said, and when Tao Liyang started the car, put on his seat belt, he took another look at him.

Tao Liyang noticed his gaze: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see you."

Xu Yunqing said softly, after driving for a while, Tao Liyang heard him ask himself: "Didn't you go to the company meeting this afternoon? Why did you come again suddenly?"

Tao Liyang glanced at the rearview mirror and turned on the left turn signal: "It ended a little faster than expected, I think I can catch up, so I came here. Zhao Jing is really looking for you. It doesn't cost a penny, and the attendance rate doubled." It's more than three times as big? The people sitting in front of me, on the left, on the left, are all your fans."

"Then are you?"

"Don't you know?" Tao Liyang said smoothly, "You have always been the best actor in my heart."

"Where did I find out? You live off a pen, and you can't count the beautiful words you say." Xu Yunqing shook his head and smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I found you here today..."

Tao Liyang didn't hear the second half of his sentence: "What?"

Xu Yunqing lowered his eyes: "There were several moments on the stage. I felt like I was back in the small theater when we were in college. Whether it was rehearsal or performance, you were always looking at me... just looking at me."

"Is this not good?" Tao Liyang asked him, "You don't look happy."

"It's good for me, not for you."

"why?"

"Because I've always known." After a short period of silence, Xu Yunqing's Adam's apple twitched, "It's just that I wished I didn't know a lot back then, and I did that."

After he finished this sentence, he stopped talking, and Tao Liyang had nothing to say, so he could only spread the silence.Xu Yunqing didn't speak again until he stopped at the red light at the intersection ahead, "Why didn't you ask me?"

Tao Liyang stared at the constantly beating numbers in front of him, his voice was still very gentle: "What do you ask?"

Xu Yunqing pursed her lips and did not speak.Tao Liyang reached out and squeezed his palm: "Do you think I didn't know before?"

These words were like playing charades, tongue-twisters, but the meanings of each other were very clear.Tao Liyang secretly sighed in his heart: "Why do you mention this?"

Xu Yunqing's Adam's apple moved up and down: "I don't want to mention it, but I have to say it."

"Why?" Tao Liyang asked this time.

Xu Yunqing paused for a long time, did not answer his question, shook his head, and said in a somewhat irrelevant way: "Every time you are here, I feel very at ease. In fact, there is nothing disturbing, but you are here It was different when we were in the past, whether it was in the past or today, it’s the same.”

He spoke slowly, and every word was clear.Tao Liyang turned his head, Xu Yunqing also looked at him quietly, not without a little anxiety.

Tao Liyang pinched the back of his neck, his tone was very gentle: "Then why are you still unhappy, this is enough."

"is it?"

"Yes, at least for me."

Tao Liyang looked into his eyes with a smile. After a long time, Xu Yunqing stretched out his hand to hold Tao Liyang's jaw from the side and gently touched his face, and quickly touched his lips. Although there were some other emotions in his eyes, In the end also smiled.

There was a traffic accident ahead while crossing the tunnel.I heard it wasn't too serious, but it was blocked for more than half an hour, and it was past twelve o'clock when I got home.

Xu Yunqing's habit for many years is that he is always on an empty stomach when he is on stage or when he is filming the main scene. He is really hungry after taking a shower, and was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, when he heard Tao Liyang calling him in the study: "I just ordered porridge, and I am in the dining room Here, eat something before you go to bed."

Sure enough, there was a casserole on the dining table. The ginkgo porridge inside was still steaming when the lid was opened. The temperature was just right and the thickness was right.He filled half a bowl and took it into the study to eat. Tao Liyang looked up at him from the screen: "Didn't you eat during the day?"

Xu Yunqing smiled a little guilty, ignored his words, and fed him a spoonful: "Do you still want to write a manuscript?"

"Yeah." Tao Liyang nodded, his hands didn't stop, "Go to sleep after you eat, don't wait for me."

"You write yours, don't worry about me."

Xu Yunqing neither said good nor bad, but waited for Tao Liyang to finish changing the scene, looked up from the gap between writing, and saw that he was still sitting quietly on the sofa in the study.Can't help but sigh: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed first?"

Xu Yunqing put down the script in his hand: "It's almost two o'clock. You've been staying up late for half a month."

"It will start up next month. This script is really a mess, and it's all in my hands. If you don't hurry up and change it, it will be more troublesome later in the project." Tao Liyang pressed his temple hard, got up, went to hold Xu Yunqing's hand, and brought him back. to the bedroom. "Go to sleep by yourself. You got up so early this morning. You don't have to stay with me. I'll come and sleep after I finish writing."

"I'm not too sleepy..."

"Okay." Tao Liyang smiled and pushed him down on the bed, "I don't have the mood to write anymore as you sit in the study. I can write faster without you."

"Then come and sleep early." Xu Yunqing gave way, and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Yes." Tao Liyang leaned over and kissed him, "Good night."

This film was originally based on a romance film, but later changed directors and historical consultants, and finally decided to make it into a drama.It turns out that the loopholes in the script cannot be covered up in the slightest.

Tao Liyang wrote back for two hours at a stretch, and in the middle of the revision, he found that there seemed to be some problems with the age.He sent an email to the historical consultant, and started searching for relevant information while flipping through the book.However, I haven't found the information yet, but I noticed the push on the homepage first. The names of Xu Yunqing and Li Shuang are very close together.

Tao Liyang's hand was faster than his brain, and he clicked on the page before he could react.

He checked the date first, and it was indeed a report that just came out.The content is not news anymore, it's something about the film festival.

Half an hour ago, someone posted a video on a certain forum, recording Li Shuang's expression off stage when Xu Yunqing and the crew went on stage to accept the award.The camera shakes a little, but the smile on Li Shuang's face is still very clear.Correspondingly, they also spliced ​​together the images of Xu Yunqing on stage at the same time period, and posted the seat map of the scene thoughtfully, as if to prove that Xu Yunqing had gestured in Li Shuang's direction several times.

Unsurprisingly, the relevant link below naturally leads to the scene on the red carpet.

Tao Liyang stopped himself in time and did not continue to click on it, and he was really not in the mood to review it again.He closed the webpage expressionlessly, and continued to write the manuscript. However, the exhaustion of being absent for a night came out belatedly at this moment.

This shouldn't be, Tao Liyang leaned back in his chair, thinking a little discouraged.

He can't always be swayed by these tabloids.In those one or two blurry shots, it was impossible to tell who Xu Yunqing was looking at, so it didn't matter if it was Li Shuang, of course he could look at anyone, as long as he was by his side.

But is he really there?For a moment, Tao Liyang suddenly became suspicious again, pressed the laptop screen, stood up and went to the bedroom.

He pushed open the door impatiently, the bedroom lights were still on.

Xu Yunqing closed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand hanging beside the bed, apparently still waiting for Tao Liyang - in some respects he was too stubborn.

Xu Yunqing didn't sleep deeply, but when he heard the door open, he woke up again in a daze, and turned his head: "What are you doing standing by the door?"

Tao Liyang looked at him steadfastly, the warm yellow light shone on Xu Yunqing's eyebrows and eyes, stretching and smiling, gentle and unbelievable, like a fragile dream.Tao Liyang walked over and hugged him without saying a word.

Xu Yunqing was sleepy, and his voice was a bit sticky: "Are you done?"

"En." A few seconds later, Tao Liyang let go of the book in Xu Yunqing's hand: "Go to sleep, it's late."

Xu Yunqing responded, rubbed his eyes, and moved in.Tao Liyang turned off the light and lay down beside him, reached out and hugged him again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yunqing turned sideways and faced him.

"It's nothing." Tao Liyang buried his head on the side of his neck, his lips gently brushed against the throbbing artery, "I'm very tired, don't move, let me hug you for a while."

Xu Yunqing seemed to smile, and leaned on him very docilely.In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, only their breaths were intertwined.

No one spoke again.

Tao Liyang was full of exhaustion, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.He took Xu Yunqing's hand hanging by his side, and touched his knuckles one by one.Xu Yunqing moved in a half-dream and half-awake state, moved closer to him, and clasped his fingers tightly with his fingers.Tao Liyang smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and disappeared again.

After a while, he put Xu Yunqing's hand on his heart, leaned over, and kissed his hair lightly.
