24 Lies

Mingzheng slept very well that night.

He woke up at [-]:[-] in the morning, because it was raining outside, and he thought he couldn't go outdoors to exercise, so he simply fell asleep with his head covered.The last time I slept until noon, I woke up from hunger.

I was still washing in the bathroom when someone knocked on the door.Mingzheng put on some clothes and went to open the door, wondering why the room service was so early.

It turned out that the person who came to look for it was Ah Mai.

The other party handed him two thermos buckets and said, "Good afternoon, Brother Mingzheng, this is the lunch that Brother Guanyu asked me to give you."

Ming Zheng: "...Lunch??"

"Well, Brother Guan Yu made it." A Mai explained with a smile, "He would borrow the kitchen from the hotel to cook food, you have eaten."

Mingzheng was very shocked: "He drank like that last night, and he can still get up to cook today?? Doesn't his hand hurt??"

"He didn't feel any pain when he said it." A Mai said, "I also think it's strange. He got up at seven o'clock today, and he looked refreshed. He asked me to have breakfast together. After eating, we We went out for a stroll together, and then he came back to cook..."

It's not uncomfortable to drink so much...

also cooking...

Ming Zheng asked: "Then have you eaten?"

"Not yet, he's ready and I'll bring it to you first." A Mai smiled and asked him, "He should still be eating at the restaurant now, he eats very slowly."

Ming Zheng said "Oh."

Ah Mai actively added: "Brother Mingzheng, the hotel is very empty today. The crew has all gone to the villa, and there are not many people shouting."

"..." Mingzheng nodded, "Well, I'll go and have dinner with him."

He went back to the room and took a coat, went downstairs with two thermos buckets, and walked towards the restaurant.

After all, it is a small city, and the hotel is not big. The facilities are not as good as star hotels, but it is clean and tidy.

The restaurant was indeed empty.Zheng Guanyu was wearing a gray striped shirt, sitting in a relatively secluded place in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking to an aunt in overalls at the moment.

Mingzheng walked up to him without saying a word and took a seat. Auntie was about to take a photo with Zheng Guanyu, and left with a smile on her face.

He doesn't seem to think of himself as a movie star most of the time, and he can chat with anyone without putting on airs.

After she left, Ming Zheng asked him: "Why are you still chatting with Auntie?"

"I asked her how to make a dish, and I ate it by chance last time, and it felt good." Zheng Guanyu said, "I will cook it for you after I learn it."

Taking a closer look, Zheng Guanyu's face is not too bad, he doesn't look tired after drunk.I probably cleaned it up on purpose today, and it looks like it was back in the past.

amazing.Mingzheng admired him in his heart, he could recover in one night.

Taking out the food boxes one by one, Mingzheng felt that Zheng Guanyu probably cooked two meals, and his own dishes were obviously much richer, but what Zheng Guanyu had in front of him was... very healthy and fat-reducing.

Ming Zheng thought that seeing him would be a little embarrassing, but when he sat down, he realized that nothing was wrong. Zheng Guanyu's aura makes people feel at ease.

They sat side by side and began to eat.

Zheng Guanyu's cooking is really delicious, it seems to have the taste of... the taste of home in Ming Zheng's imagination?It is very comfortable to eat.

He has never had much food cooked by his family since he grew up.Because of the complicated family situation, her mother passed away early, her father was a busy person, and my aunt Ming Wenyu didn’t know how to cook. He basically ate Yanli’s cooking all these years, and he just ate casually when he went out...Yanli is a Dai nationality, Most of the dishes I cook are local dishes, and other dishes are not very good.

None of the real relatives seemed to have cooked him a single meal.

Mingzheng tasted the borscht soup, it was sour and sweet, very appetizing.

"Does your hand still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zheng Guanyu replied, "It's weird, it doesn't hurt after drinking a drink, but it hurts a little as if my head hit somewhere... Then what, Ah Mai said you came to take care of me last night?"

"I didn't take care of it either, I was going to watch you joke." Ming Zheng said, "See if the gentleman will go crazy when he's drunk."

Zheng Guanyu smiled: "Oh, it's raining heavily and came back from the villa to watch me get drunk?"

Mingzheng looked at him with a smile, "I came back to pick up something, I just wanted to see you by the way."

"Yeah, by the way." Zheng Guanyu said sincerely, "Then thank you for coming to see me. I was a little noisy after drinking, if I said something or did something last night...don't worry about it."

— don't worry about it.

Ming Zheng didn't answer the question.

He was really hungry, he said to eat first before talking about anything else, and began to eat silently with his head down.

The restaurant was very quiet, only the two of them were sitting.

"I saw that the gift for you was taken away, do you like it?"

"……Um."

It seemed to be skipped lightly.

Then Zheng Guanyu suddenly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair on the back of his neck.

He didn't feel disgusted either, so Mingzheng didn't hide.

Zheng Guanyu said casually: "...the hair has grown a bit, it's time to cut it."

His movements were more like probing. Seeing that Mingzheng didn't dodge, he began to touch slowly... The movements and strength were very intimate and ambiguous.

Ming Zheng: "I'll ask the director if they can cut it in two days. I also think it's a bit long...don't touch it, it's itchy."

Zheng Guanyu withdrew his hand regretfully, supported his head and began to watch him eat.

"Director Yan came here, and I feel that everyone is going to misunderstand again." Zheng Guanyu shook his head, "I don't want others to know about your relationship... so why not show up with you at all? Look at Director Li's celebration banquet last time, how many people were there?" Misunderstood, and this time too, come directly to visit the class..."

"Did you think I wanted to go to the celebration banquet? It was because he wanted to introduce Director Li's film to me. I agreed to go after thinking about it for a long time." Mingzheng said, "It's because... when I was very young My mother is gone, and although he is very busy, he feels obligated to spend every birthday with me."

Zheng Guanyu sighed.

"It's fine to say that it's a relative, but why is it so badly spread outside?"

Mingzheng shrugged: "Actually, some people know that he is my father, but no one told you."

Zheng Guanyu: "...Because the information I got has been misleading me, and you didn't explain it."

The son is rumored to have an affair with his father... It's the first time I've heard of it when I'm so old, I've heard it a lot for my godfather, and it's the first time I've heard it for my own father, it's amazing.

Mingzheng nodded: "Rumors are always miscellaneous. People will always believe what they want to believe. I don't think there is any need to explain anything."

"Do you think it's embarrassing for Yan Mao to be your father?" Zheng Guanyu was very puzzled, "Isn't it even worse to hear that he is your benefactor?"

Mingzheng looked indifferent: "What is the difference between saying that I rely on my own father and saying that I rely on the father of the donor? I feel the same as ugly."

"..." Zheng Guanyu nodded, "Yes, you are right."

There was a moment of silence.

Zheng Guanyu looked up at the rain outside the window and stared blankly for a while.

The patter of the rain sounded gentle and peaceful.

Ming Zheng beside him suddenly asked him: "Have you never tried it with anyone before?"

"try what?"

Mingzheng lowered his head again and took a bite of his meal: "I have seen some interesting news about you by chance, about spending a night with a certain young actor in a hotel, man."

...What kind of gossip, Zheng Guanyu didn't know that he had been on the gossip.

Zheng Guanyu glanced at him: "Do you also believe that kind of news?"

Mingzheng shrugged: "You can just tell the truth, I don't care. You are almost thirty, it would be really strange if you have never talked about it, I just want to know about your relationship experience."

Zheng Guanyu sighed silently.

It's true that many people don't believe it, but it's true.

It's not that there is no chance, it's just that I don't want to.Zheng Guanyu feels that he is the kind of person who would rather be short than excessive. If he feels something is wrong, he will never start, but if he starts, he will always work hard to persevere.

Zheng Guanyu stared at his profile for a while, then smiled and said, "Ming Xiaozheng, do you think I'm casual?"

"Not casually? Then why did you say you wanted to flatter me when you didn't know each other for a long time, and acted like you wanted to rule me unspoken."

"I didn't say I wanted to sneak into you at the time, I just wanted to be nice to you." Zheng Guanyu sighed, "I finally met someone I like and confessed, can't I? It's the first time I chased someone and you were like that." Doubt, you really broke my heart."

Mingzheng shook his head, with a look of disbelief, but he didn't say anything to Zheng Guanyu, and lowered his head to eat his meal.

He also couldn't tell whether he didn't trust Zheng Guanyu, or the relationship between the same sex, or he didn't trust himself very much.

But his attitude really made Zheng Guanyu a little helpless.From the beginning to the end, he has no reservations about Mingzheng, and every show of affection and devotion is sincere, but Mingzheng is always hesitantly testing himself...

This kind of feeling is not very good, which makes Zheng Guanyu feel very anxious.

He was hungover from the beginning, and he didn't have a good appetite all day today. After a few mouthfuls, he didn't feel like eating. He took out his phone and flipped through it casually.

The two just sat like this, one eating and the other playing with their mobile phones, maintaining a superficial peace for a while.

After reading the news, Zheng Guanyu unexpectedly discovered that there was an entry that had exploded - the person involved was the well-known mainland actor Zhuang Chao, and the content was very explosive, saying that the actor was revealed to be in a relationship with many homosexuals at the same time, and his private life was very exciting. News The accompanying picture is also very hot, it is the picture of Zhuang Chao and two little boys kissing at the same time...

To be honest, Zheng Guanyu was taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't believe it for a while...

After watching it, he raised his mobile phone to show Ming Zheng: "...If I hadn't accepted this movie at that time, you might have come with him to shoot the current movie. Director Li asked him out at that time."

Ming Zheng leaned over to look at the person on the phone screen, then at Zheng Guanyu, compared them, and continued to eat with his head down, without commenting.

Zheng Guanyu said happily: "Zhuang Chao really likes to play very much, and now only a part of it is exposed on the Internet. If I hadn't accepted this drama at the beginning, you would have been waiting to be treated lightly by him."

Ming Zheng said loudly: "Didn't you treat me lightly when I took pictures with you?"

"..."

Before Zheng Guanyu could think of what to say, someone suddenly walked in from the restaurant.

The sound of the small high heels clicking...a bit crisp.

He and Mingzheng turned their heads to look together, and found that it was... Yang Yijie, the actress who played Fang Yu in the play.

She was holding a set meal in her hand, and when she walked in, she saw Zheng Guanyu and Ming Zheng sitting in the corner... She felt very embarrassed for a moment, carrying the meal, in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Zheng Guanyu: "..."

Mingzheng: "..."

They both felt like they were being raped for no reason.

... Didn't they all go to the villa? Why is there a fish that slipped through the net? ? !

Yang Yijie felt the atmosphere for a while, and was very sensitive to find that something was wrong, so she planned to turn around silently and leave...

But it would be hard to tell if she was really let go... Zheng Guanyu let out a breath slowly, put on a gentle smile and called her to stop: "Xiao Yang, come and eat together."

"..."

Yang Yijie had no choice but to walk over with the meal, sat down anxiously, and explained with a smile: "Mingzheng, Teacher Zheng, what a coincidence! I came back to get my cosmetic bag, thinking that I would have a meal before going back to the villa. I ran into you!"

Zheng Guanyu also smiled back at her: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed awkwardly for a few seconds, then began to eat sullenly.

After being silent for a while, Yang Yijie saw that Mingzheng and Zheng Guanyu were using the same lunch box, and thought it was something special made for them by the hotel, and enviously pointed to the dishes in Mingzheng's box and asked: "Mingzheng, you actually There are burritos to eat! What's in the roll?"

Every time Zheng Guanyu came to Mingzheng, he just ate and didn't ask what it was. He didn't know how to answer, so he had to push his lunch box to him: "Would you like to try one?"

As a result, this action was immediately stopped by Zheng Guanyu next to him.

The other party silently pushed Mingzheng's lunch box back, and then pushed the lunch box he hadn't eaten to Yang Yijie: "Xiao Yang, try this... eat mine."

Yang Yijie shifted her attention to Zheng Guanyu, she was stunned for a while, and said very embarrassedly: "Ah, no need for Teacher Zheng, how can I have the nerve to eat yours..."

She and Mingzheng are both newcomers with relatively low qualifications, so it's normal to share a meal together in the group, but if someone of Zheng Guanyu's level gives you something from his bowl... it will make people feel a little stressed.

Zheng Guanyu is indeed very gentle and elegant, and has a sense of propriety in dealing with people, which makes people very comfortable, and treats everyone with equal kindness... But to be honest, this kind of gentleness is also a sense of distance.

"Eat, have a taste." Zheng Guanyu urged her with a smile, "You are welcome, eat quickly."

Yang Yijie could only hesitantly pick up the shredded lemon chicken in his lunch box with his chopsticks.

Ming Zheng couldn't help but tilted his head and smiled, thinking how this Zheng Guanyu could be so jealous, others would be upset if they ate his food.

Yang Yijie was actually a little afraid of Zheng Guanyu in her heart, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable when getting along with him. She even asked Ming Zheng in private how to play with Zheng Guanyu without being nervous.

Mingzheng could understand her uneasiness very well. He could see that she was uncomfortable, so he kindly raised a topic and asked her: "How long has it been since you finished filming?"

Yang Yijie breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly answered him: "It's probably next month, and I'll invite everyone to drink then!"

Mingzheng smiled: "It's good, I can finish work and go home early, and I will stay in the team for a long time."

Yang Yijie nodded: "I would like to continue working with the group...Although filming with Director Li is still quite exhausting, and I can't watch the monitor...But I have learned a lot, and I want to continue filming with Director Li."

Yang Yijie was not used to it because she couldn't watch the monitor playback in time when filming on film, but later found that this method made her grow a lot.

Then they chatted about how Director Li's way of narrating dramas is also very abstract, he doesn't ask them to discuss the script very much, and asks them to imagine by themselves...

They are all newcomers, and they have a lot in common when talking about dramas, and they get together to chat in full swing.

In normal times, Zheng Guanyu would definitely actively participate in the discussion and communicate with them.

But the strange thing is that Mingzheng's peaceful and friendly attitude towards Yang Yijie today inexplicably made Zheng Guanyu very fond of it.

After all, Mingzheng liked girls before.

Yang Yijie is a young and beautiful girl, which can easily make Zheng Guanyu feel a sense of crisis.

Although she is not the type who looks amazing at first glance, she is more beautiful in her bones... She is unforgettable and memorable.

Participating in Li Zhiyuan's movie at such a young age, I don't have to worry about not having a movie in the future.

Listening to their chatting happily, Zheng Guanyu felt that he didn't want to say a word anymore.

He lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone to reply to the manager's message, pretending to be very busy.

Yang Shu knew about his relationship with Mingzheng, and she had been wanting to come over to see him recently, but she also had a lot of things to do, Zheng Guanyu told her not to worry, don't come here if you are busy, and take care of the newcomers.

After eating for a while, Yang Yijie began to ask Mingzheng Wanding if there was any place suitable for a visit, saying that he wanted to go shopping while taking a break.

Mingzheng thought for a while, and answered her: "Do you like to see banyan trees? It's not bad to see a single tree forming a forest. You can also go to Wanding Bridge, and what is the Moli Waterfall... But the weather is bad these two days, why don't you Let’s go to the Jade Bazaar? Buy some small accessories, but remember not to buy Jadeite lightly, it’s easy to be deceived if you don’t understand it.”

Yang Yijie nodded and was about to speak when Zheng Guanyu, who was doing nothing beside him, interrupted suddenly: "Xiao Yang, do you like jadeite?"

Yang Yijie let out a sigh: "It's... okay? I don't know much about jade, I don't know much about it."

"Well, I don't really understand it either." Zheng Guanyu smiled, "But last night, I learned a little bit about it. I learned that the best color of jadeite is... the glass variety, have you heard of it?"

Ming Zheng, who was still drinking soup, suddenly stopped, almost choking.

Yang Yijie asked curiously, "Glass species?"

"Well, the glass species." Zheng Guanyu rubbed his wrist, "I checked, and it's a kind of jade with a high purity, with a luster like glass, and the color is crystal clear. It belongs to a high-grade grade... ..."

Ming Zheng didn't even finish listening, he just put the half-drinked soup on the table, stood up, and strode outside.

Yang Yijie, who didn't know why, was taken aback by Mingzheng's sudden departure, and pointed at his back while chewing a mouthful of rice: "Ah, why is Mingzheng...he..."

"I lost my temper, I just want to coax you." Zheng Guanyu stood up with a smile and said, "These dishes are left to you, eat slowly, I will take a step first."

After speaking, he also stood up, and slowly chased the person who strode away.

Yang Yijie looked at the food that Zheng Guanyu had left for her, and then at their backs. After thinking for two seconds, she faintly felt that she had swallowed something extraordinary...
