faint star

Gu Heng was hit in the head again, they were surrounded by hurried pedestrians, but he could clearly hear the sound of his eardrum congested.

"We didn't have a good talk before we broke up," he said.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they broke up in a hurry.

Xu Zhiwei didn't intend to say any more, nor did he give Gu Heng a look: "No need."

He cherishes words like gold, carrying the bag and walking towards the subway.

Gu Heng knows that breaking up should be broken, so that we can look good to each other.But at this moment, he felt like he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't care less about face.He could only follow behind Xu Zhiwei and say, "Zhiwei, I'm sorry."

Xu Zhiwei paused, and then he glanced at Gu Heng.He didn't know what Gu Heng was planning again, and then he came to his senses, no matter what Gu Heng was planning, it had nothing to do with him.

He hastened away.

Gu Heng did not chase after him.He felt that maybe he said "I'm sorry" just to make his conscience feel better.

After all, from the beginning to the end, he was the one who took the initiative.Xu Zhiwei started dating because he believed that he would not contact Shen Lian.He really is responsible for the breakup.

It's just that he didn't even say an apology because of the hasty breakup.

Now that he finally said it out, no matter whether Xu Zhiwei accepts it or not, the matter cannot be changed.

Gu Heng thought, he should also let this matter go.

On the way back, he calmed down a bit, thinking that Xu Zhiwei was preparing for the exam while working.Time is tight, and a calm person like Zhiwei should put Kaobo first, and will not rashly start another relationship.

But after thinking about it, Xu Zhiwei was always unexpected, and he never did anything strange.

Gu Heng told himself not to think too much, he also has a lot of things on his hands now.

Xu Zhiwei came out of the subway and walked to the neighborhood where he lives now.There is an old man in his 70s and [-]s by the outer wall of the community, digging through trash cans and collecting bottles.

Although he has only lived here for more than a week, he has already seen this old man picking up trash twice.That back reminded him a little of his grandfather.

"Master, this is for you." Xu Zhiwei handed the bag in his hand to the old man.

The old man took it over: "You don't want this anymore?"

Xu Zhiwei shook his head: "No more."The old man thanked repeatedly and accepted these "waste products" that were not old at all.

Gu Heng had another night of dreams this night, they were all messy, and he had to release himself after waking up in the morning.Only then did he remember that after he broke up with Xu Zhiwei, he had been plain.

He didn't think much about it, but his body's natural reaction was more honest.

After taking a shower in the morning, Gu Heng fell into a depression again - the other half of the double bed in the room was cold, reminding him once again of the fact that he and Xu Zhiwei broke up.

I don't know where Xu Zhiwei lives now... What kind of house did he rent... Is he still used to living alone...

"Boss, boss?" Someone pulled him back from the meeting.

Gu

Heng looked at the screen and said, "I'm listening."

Today, I was discussing plans with Shen Lian's company again, and held a video conference.He found that in his studio, the more enthusiastic he introduced the new plan, the colder the feedback he got.

When proposing a new solution, the other party will first ask: "Are there any other similar success stories for me to see?"

Gu Heng could tell that the other party wanted safety more than novelty and creativity, and they didn't even care about "creative reference".This made Gu Heng completely unmotivated about this kind of meeting, and participated only for Shen Lian's face.

In the end, Shen Lian Company did not choose any of the three abc plans, but proposed another plan, which had nothing to do with the documentary, it was just a common plan, very popular.

There was quite a lot of criticism about this plan in the studio - such an ordinary plan did not need to find a cutting-edge director to shoot, and an ordinary commercial director could shoot it, which was an overkill.

The only advantage is that the work is simple and the checkout can be done quickly.

After the plan was finalized, Shen Lian called Gu Heng to say sorry.

Gu Heng said: "You don't have to be sorry. Since I took this job, I have to be mentally prepared to encounter various situations. Besides, you are not the only one who has the final say on this kind of thing."

Shen Lian said: "I know who you are, and you definitely won't blame me. But I still feel sorry for it. I thought it was a win-win situation, and it would be a good publicity for the company."

Gu Heng comforted him: "Even if it's an ordinary plan, I'll try my best to photograph flowers for you. You have to trust my ability."

Only then did Shen Lian laugh: "Of course I believe it!"

The plan was finalized and preparations for shooting began.Shen Lian sent Xiao Zhou, a young boy who just graduated from university for a year, to be the liaison officer.Xiao Zhou is not tall, with delicate features, and he admires Gu Heng very much in his words.

Xiao Zhou is Shen Lian's junior, knowing that Shen Lian and Gu Heng are old classmates, and has been making friends with Gu Heng in his spare time.Gu Heng thought that he wanted to change jobs and come to his studio.

After the commercial shooting was completed, Shen Lian, Xiao Zhou and a few people from their studio went to have dinner together.

Shen Lian sat drinking with Gu Heng, he asked Gu Heng: "How is Xiao Zhou?"

Gu Heng said, "He's very diligent, and he's a quick learner."

Shen Lian took a sip of beer: "I'm not talking about work, Xiao Zhou was your fan before, and I'm very excited to hear that I want to cooperate with you."

Only then did Gu Heng remember what Shen Lian said before, the pain of losing a relationship needs to be healed with new feelings.

It turned out that Xiao Zhou was the person he said.

Gu Heng sighed, he didn't want to compare Xiao Zhou with the previous one, because they were completely different and couldn't be compared.He is now in a gray area, knowing that he and Xu Zhiwei broke up, and accepting this fact, but his emotions cannot return to the point before the breakup.

This kind of weight is not something that Xiao Zhou can pull up.

Shen Lian was still looking at him, he could only say: "Personally? It's impossible..."

And when he thought that it was Shen Lian's "concern", he felt even more uncomfortable.

Shen Lian said: "I see that you are in a bad mood, I just want you to come out quickly."

Gu Heng said casually: "Impossible, I can't get out..."

Shen Lian asked: "What?"

Only then did Gu Heng realize what he was talking about. He felt that he probably drank too much.He said, "It's nothing, just don't introduce me any more."

Shen Lian joked: "I know you are always demanding."

Gu Heng looked at Shen Lian.Shen Lian has not changed much from before, but now he has matured a lot.

It's just that he can't confide his thoughts now.

"Let's try it." It's easy to say.But now he hasn't sorted out his mood, and he doesn't want to bring Shen Lian back to that apartment.

"It has nothing to do with high requirements, the most important thing is liking from the bottom of my heart." Gu Heng said.

Shen Lian said with emotion: "I always feel that the older I get, the harder it is to like someone from the bottom of my heart. Don't talk about falling in love, even making friends. When I think about it now, the really good friends are still the old friends I met in school. .After graduating from university, there are fewer and fewer close friends.”

Gu Heng looked at him and listened to him quietly.

Shen Lian added: "Maybe you don't resonate with me on this point? You are a person who can make friends with anyone. I have always admired you for this."

Gu Heng said: "I understand."

He suddenly asked again: "After you came to Beijing, have you met Gu Xin?"

Shen Lian's tone was natural: "I saw him once before I left in my hometown, but I haven't seen him since I came to Beijing. Is he busy now?"

Gu Heng nodded: "Yes. He is flying around now. Even I can't meet him often. Let's have dinner together next time when we are free."

Shen Lian was a little surprised: "You two have a better relationship now? I heard Gu Xin complain last time that you always ignore him."

Gu Heng: "After all, my brother." He no longer brought up the subject of Gu Xin.

After dinner, Gu Heng took a taxi home alone. He wanted to make a phone call to chat with someone because he was a little drunk.Now of course he can chat with Shen Lian anytime, no one cares about him anymore, but he just had dinner with Shen Lian and chatted.

His fingers crossed Xu Zhiwei's name, knowing that Xu Zhiwei must be reviewing at this time.

And it's too tasteless to call your ex-boyfriend when you're drunk.

Gu Heng warned himself not to lose his status again and again.

In the end, he called his younger brother Gu Xin.

Ever since the fight with Gu Xin that day, Gu Heng and Gu Xin would call each other from time to time.They're a little more connected than before.But Gu Heng didn't let go of what he did to Gu Xin.

He knew that Gu Xin also had reservations about him.But no matter what, they have more contact than before.

Gu Xin quickly picked up his phone: "Brother?"

Gu Heng asked straight to the point: "What have you been doing recently? Have you done anything bad?"

Gu Xin was speechless: "Have you been drinking?"

Gu Heng rubbed his chin, without denying it, he asked again: "Have you contacted Zhiwei recently?"

Gu Xin paused, "No."

Gu Heng immediately exposed him: "It's a lie. Have you met him? You should apologize to him. What did he say?"

He only wanted to hear Xu Zhiwei's reaction now.

Gu Xin admitted: "I apologized, but how can he react? Just listen politely. He is very cold to me and doesn't accept any compensation from me."

Gu Heng laughed out loud: "It's not that you broke up with him, what compensation will you give him. Of course he won't ask for it."

Gu Xin backhanded the knife: "Then did he ask you for any compensation?"

Gu Heng was speechless: "You didn't contact him after that?"

He didn't know what answer he wanted to hear.It's because Gu Xin and Xu Zhiwei still keep in touch, how can he hear some news about his ex-boyfriend?

Gu Xin said: "Not yet, I think he is still angry and won't forgive me so quickly."

It means that after a while, he may still contact Zhiwei.

But Gu Heng did not have such an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng became angry again. He said to Gu Xin: "Zhiwei has to prepare for the exam during this time, so don't harass him."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xin returned to the restaurant, where he was eating with Bai Yang and the guests.

He whispered to Bai Yang, "It's the elder brother calling."

Bai Yang smiled and said, "Oh, is he still mourning?"

Gu Xin said vaguely, "It's okay."

He didn't want to mention Xu Zhiwei in front of Bai Yang.

Bai Yang pouted: "I thought Shen Lian would be happy when he passed. You didn't let him know, did you?"

Gu Xin replied immediately; "No. I took the whole matter on myself and picked Shen Lian clean."
