Recalcitrant

After coming out of the house, Chen Zhuo drove the car and walked back alone.

He and Lu Shaoheng have known each other for seven years, and they finally came to this step.

It was approaching midnight, and the city center was still crowded with people. Chen Yao parked his car steadily in front of the red light, and indifferently watched the continuous flow of people on the zebra crossing. A thought suddenly came to his mind—maybe four years ago, The first time a rift appeared between them, the relationship should have ended in time.

One day four years ago, when "Long Road" had just finished filming, Xie Siwen pestered his father for a while, talking and talking, and finally let his father relax, and allocated funds to buy him a large imported luxury yacht.

On the day when the yacht first arrived at the pier, he couldn't hold back his eagerness, called friends and friends all the way, and took a boat full of celebrity young models, and went out to sea in a mighty way.

Naturally, Xie Siwen would not forget to call his good brother for such a money-burning activity.Lu Shaoheng has always stayed away from water sports, and a yacht is nothing unusual, so he found an excuse to decline.The movie in Chen Zhuo's hands had just finished, and he couldn't bear Xie Siwen's soft and hard words, and finally got on the thief's boat.

On the flybridge, a coolly dressed DJ is playing discs. His eight-pack abs shaking back and forth makes it difficult to concentrate on his music.As soon as the yacht reached the middle of the sea, the crew put down the slide and the sea swimming pool, and a group of hot men and women jumped into the water playing and playing, which was dazzling.

A long-legged sexy beauty with tanned skin came up from the sea. After washing her body on the deck, she put on a towel and sat down beside Chen Yao.

"Why don't you go down to play?" The beauty's voice floated along with the fragrant wind, and her knee seemed to rub against Chen Zhuo's thigh.

Chen Yao turned to look at her, and said politely: "The waves are too big, I'm a little seasick."

Between a man and a woman, it can be the thunder that stirs the ground, or it can be the deliberate flow of flowers and ruthless water. With a look, a hint, both parties already know it well.

The beauty didn't like to fight, she dried her hair provocatively, and left gracefully.

"I said, Old Chen, there is something wrong with you." Xie Siwen looked straight at the side, and after finally regaining his senses, he teased Chen Zhuo: "Cassie just walked a dozen shows at Fashion Week, and finally returned to China for vacation. "The more he talked, the more he felt that there was something wrong with his brother's designation: "Such a beautiful woman throws an olive branch at you, and you turned a blind eye?"

Chen Zhuo ignored Xie Siwen, and his eyes returned to the water. He saw the buoy on the sea move, and slowly began to take up the line.

That's right, in such an environment full of beauties, Chen Zhuo was actually fishing without distraction.

"In the past two or three years, you have been really difficult to make appointments." Xie Siwen pouted, and began to complain half-truthfully: "Why, are you really in love with Young Master Lu, and are you ready to take it easy?"

"Well, it's true, take it easy." As expected, the last hook came up empty, and Chen Zhuo was not discouraged, so he put on the bait again and threw the hook into the sea again.

"Who?" Xie Siwen was shocked, his hands trembled, and he almost smashed the fruit plate on the table.He stared at Chen Yao with wide eyes, and couldn't even speak: "Who do you really like?"

Chen Zhuo glanced at him, and clearly said the person's name: "Lu Shaoheng."

Chen Zhuo's words were astonishing, and Xie Siwen was so frightened that he didn't even bother to drink wine. He sent the little beauty around him to avoid for a while, and asked Chen Zhuo repeatedly: "No, hey, are you serious? ah?"

Chen Zhuo responded lightly: "Yes."

"Oh my god, this is a tricky matter." Xie Siwen wondered if he was dreaming, or if he drank too much champagne before sailing and began to experience auditory hallucinations.

"What about Miss Lu Yu?" Xie Siwen asked.

Chen Zhuo looked puzzled: "What's the matter with Lu Yu?"

"Didn't you like her since you were a child?!" Xie Siwen wondered if there was some deviation in his memory.

"You also said that you were young." Chen Zhuo did not deny it: "I used to like her very much."

This is the first time that Chen Yao has confessed his feelings to others, and this person is still not enlightened Xie Siwen: "When she told me that she likes Bai Jie, I only regarded her as a sister, and she could only be a sister. "As he spoke, Chen Yao paused and laughed: "And then I found out that my feelings for her are different from Lu Shaoheng's..."

Xie Siwen was dazzled by the overly gentle smile on Chen Zhuo's face, and took a long sip of wine dryly.I thought to myself, Chen Zhuo, it's over, you're asking for trouble, and you're going to make a big fall.

"Then you're full, you're full of energy, what kind of movie is it, and you look like her heroine in auditions all over the world..." People's emotional changes are too complicated, and it is difficult for a single-celled creature like Xie Siwen who is currently drunk and drunk. understand.

"These are two different things." Chen Yao was about to be annoyed by the stubborn Xie Siwen, regretting that he had said so much to him inattentively, ""Long Road" is the first script I wrote after I decided to change my career as a director , of course I have to do my best to make it well. The heroine's character inspiration is indeed Zhang Luyu, I restore the script characters, what's the problem?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Xie Siwen asked again: "Then what about that Ding Ling in your crew, don't say it's nothing, the two of you are on the set, that's called a sweet and sweet relationship. All eyes see."

Ding Ling is the heroine of "The Long Road", which was selected by Chen Zhuo based on Zhang Luyu's image. The two are known for filming, and they have been fighting fiercely in the crew recently.

"Oh, I got it." Before Chen Yao could answer, Xie Siwen had a flash of inspiration, and he analyzed clearly: "You just want to know whether Lu Shaoheng is jealous, whether you are in your heart or not, and it happens that Ding Bao is pulling you to stir up gossip , you follow the trend."

Chen Zhuo got impatient with Xie Siwen's question and didn't bother to answer him. In Xie Siwen's view, this was a tacit consent, and persuaded him: "But I think there are so many twists and turns in relationships. It's not good to try it like this... "

"I can't tell you clearly." Chen Zhuo said.

Xie Siwen stopped talking and leaned back on the chair back, but suddenly thought of a conversation between him and Lu Shaoheng not long ago.

"Hey, Old Chen, I'm not the one who poured cold water on you." Xie Siwen glanced at Chen Zhuo's face, and said falteringly: "To be honest, a few months ago, that time in Chashan, Xiao Lu asked About my sister Lu Yu."

"What did he say?" Chen Yao finally turned his attention away from fishing, and turned to look at Xie Siwen.

"I told him everything I knew, but he didn't respond, he didn't take it seriously at all. Think about Zhou Yang, and Xiao Ding now, doesn't he care at all?" Xie Siwen Scratching his head, he asked cautiously: "So I think your matter is quite serious, does he know what you're thinking?"

"He doesn't know yet." Chen Zhuo cast his eyes on the blue line where Haitian meets, and said, "I don't know what he thinks, and I don't know when to tell him."

Lu Shaoheng repulsed a real intimate relationship extremely, no matter who tried to get close to him, he would run away without hesitation.In fact, Chen Zhuo had tested him a few times, and his senses were very sensitive. Whenever Chen Zhuo exceeded the limit by a little bit, he would immediately put a safe distance between the two of them.

This question also stumped Xie Siwen. He has rich experience in love, but zero experience in love.But he has a kind of optimism unique to the rich second generation. I saw him frowning and thinking for a while, and then he smiled and said: "What's so difficult about it, confession, isn't it just the same thing? Isn't it common in movies? Act."

Xie Siwen took Chen Zhuo's shoulders, and said as if he had experienced it himself: "Get the ring ready, find a romantic place, eat a meal, drink a little wine, see the right time, and kneel down on the ground. It’s not going to happen.”

After imagining this scene, Chen Zhuo got goosebumps all over his body, slapped his hand away, and scolded with a smile: "Crazy."

However, after the yacht docked, Chen Yao went straight to the shopping mall and picked out a pair of rings.

***

A few days later, it was the finale banquet of the "Long Road" crew.

The main creative team this time is generally young, and the ending song is sung by an underground band that has just entered the public eye, so the production director was ingenious and booked a livehouse where the band performed regularly, and held this wrap-up banquet.

The theme of "Long Road" is relatively heavy, and the staff have been depressed in the crew for several months.Today I can finally let go of my hands and feet and have fun, everyone is playing crazy.

There is only one exception.

During the interval between the band's performances, Lu Shaoheng sat at the bar far away from the stage, watching his colleagues in the crew booing for Chen Zhuo and Ding Bao to drink a cup of wine.

Ding Ling is the heroine personally selected by Chen Zhuo from tens of thousands of people. In order to give her a boost, he spared no effort and invested a lot of manpower and material resources in an audition. Sedan.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Zhuo took extra care of Ding Bao in the crew, and Ding Bao also had some meaning for Chen Zhuo.In order to please the director, under the instigation of alcohol, under the guise of celebrating, everyone spared no effort to send the two into a pile.

If it wasn't for Lu Shaoheng still sitting here, he might be sent directly to the bridal chamber.

Lu Shaoheng looked at the girl under the spotlight from afar, but it was hard to think of Zhang Luyu just looking at Ding Bing's appearance.But as long as the photos of the two of them are put together, you can find that from certain angles, Ding Bao and Zhang Luyu are almost carved out of the same mold.

It can be seen that Chen Zhuo is really in love.

Throughout the night, Ding Bao was chased and toasted by the drunk creators all over the place. In the end, she hid in Chen Zhuo's arms with a panicked expression, and barely escaped the catastrophe.

Lu Shaoheng laughed while watching, okay, what a substitute script for Bai Yueguang.Especially when going out today, Lu Shaoheng accidentally saw a pair of rings in Chen Zhuo's car. It can be seen that Chen Zhuo, an unintentional prodigal son, may fall on this fledgling little girl this time.

The bartender at the bar was a good-looking Chinese-French mixed race. Seeing that Lu Shaoheng was always looking lazy and unmotivated, he mixed a glass of cocktail not on the menu in a fancy way and put it in front of him.

"Unhappy?" The bartender wiped the empty glass and said to Lu Shaoheng, "This glass is for you."

"It's much better now." Lu Shaoheng glanced at the brightly colored liquid in the glass, smiled at him, and accepted the kindness gladly.

After a short break, the band returned and the young people started a new round of carnival.In order to avoid drinking, Chen Zhuo left the crowd and came to the bar, and sat with Lu Shaoheng in a corner where the stage spotlights could not reach.

Chen Zhuo doesn't look good when he drinks, and others can't tell how much he can drink, but Lu Shaoheng is clear.He asked the bartender to serve Chen Zhuo a glass of lemonade with honey, and stared at him to finish it.

"How long have we known each other?" After finishing a glass of lemonade, Chen Zhuo pushed the empty glass onto the table and asked.

He was surrounded by everyone and drank a lot of wine tonight, even the corners of his eyes were red, looking extraordinarily alluring.

"Three years? Or two years?" Lu Shaoheng felt his throat a little itchy. He looked away and took a sip of the wine in his glass: "I can't remember."

Chen Zhuo didn't intend to let this problem pass easily, he followed Lu Shaoheng's gaze, and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with us now?"

"Oh? What do you say?" Lu Shaoheng had a premonition in his heart. He squinted at Ding Biao in the distance, and roughly guessed what Chen Yao wanted to say.

He wanted to abandon evil and follow good for his girlfriend, so he washed his hands and went ashore.

The relationship between him and Chen Zhuo lasted intermittently for three years. It was impossible for him or Chen Zhuo.

Lu Shaoheng thinks that he and Chen Zhuo are the same kind of people, and the last thing they need is emotional ties. When two people are together, they gather and part as they please. If they get along, they will play together, and if they don't, they will separate.

But today, he didn't want Chen Zhuo to continue talking.

Sure enough, in the next second, he heard Chen Zhuo say: "I want to reconsider this relationship, so..."

"Not good."

No matter how Chen Yao wants to change, Lu Shaoheng doesn't want him to say these words, at least not at this moment, he hastily interrupted him first: "You don't like me, and I don't like you either. How can it be so complicated."

The opening remarks that Chen Yao had finally prepared were blocked by Lu Shaoheng. He looked at Lu Shaoheng blankly, not knowing what to say next.

Lu Shaoheng was so upset that he didn't have time to care about Chen Zhuo's reaction. He picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, hiding the embarrassment in his eyes.

Just at this time, the second female lead, Wang Aimin, came to invite him to dance. Lu Shaoheng said "excuse me", put down his wine glass, took Wang Aimin with him, and walked into the dance floor together.

The band on the stage sang a lyrical song, the music slowed down, and Lu Shaoheng gentlemanly embraced Wang Aimin and danced with the music on the dance floor.

"President Lu, do you have something on your mind?" Wang Aimin asked considerately, she was chosen by Lu Shaoheng, and she has always had a good relationship with him.

"How could it be?" Lu Shaoheng smiled and said, "Not everyone has the luck to dance with you."

Lu Shaoheng was indeed still thinking about Chen Zhuo, his gaze passed over Wang Aimin's head, and landed in the corner where the light couldn't reach.

Not long ago his position had been taken by Ding Bao, Ding Bao was always like a little sun, the place where she was always surrounded by people.

Under the leadership of Ding Bao, a large group of people booed for Chen Zhuo to drink. Chen Zhuo was very indulgent to Ding Bao, and almost never refused to come. He drank several cups of extremely high-strength tequila in a row, which gave Ding Bao enough face. .

Lu Shaoheng looked away, feeling a little self-defeating.He was like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand, as if they could maintain the status quo as long as they didn't let Chen Zhuo finish his sentence.

It turns out that in his heart, the desire related to Chen Zhuo is so simple, just maintaining such a fragile physical relationship is enough, and he never expects too much.

But fortunately, Chen Zhuo didn't want to confess to him, Lu Shaoheng had fun in the bitterness, and optimistically explained himself.

Otherwise, he doesn't know how to end it. If there is such a day, he and Chen Zhuo will really come to an end.

The music was still going on, and a pair of drunk young men and women beside them were kissing affectionately.Lu Shaoheng was soberly exposed to the dreamy colorful lights, and felt a little lost.

Before the end of a song, he stopped the male lead passing by, handed Wang Aimin's hand into his, and left the bar alone without saying hello to anyone.

The author says:
