Recalcitrant

Jiang Xiaobo looked at the rising entries on the trending search, paced back and forth in the office several times, and uttered a few foul words in succession.

"Haven't you got in touch yet?" He turned and asked the assistant in front of the computer.

Holding the phone in his hand, the assistant cautiously replied, "Not yet...not yet."

Jiang Xiaobo didn't give up, he grabbed the mobile phone from the assistant's hand, and tried to call Chen Yao again.

But this time the result was the same as the previous few times. After a long busy tone, the phone hung up automatically.

Ding Ling's latest Weibo became more and more popular, and Jiang Xiaobo couldn't wait any longer. He told his colleagues in the studio to pay close attention to the public opinion on the Internet, and he grabbed the car keys and rushed to Chen Yao's house.

Just at noon today, during the peak noon traffic hours of various social media, the news that the well-known director and actor took the crew members home for eight hours together, just quietly appeared on the Internet.

The most widely disseminated video is a video. The video is a bit blurry. It was obviously shot secretly far away, but the key information is not ambiguous. In the video, you can clearly see Ding Bao hooking Chen Zhuo and walking down the taxi. They went back to Chen Zhuo's apartment in Tanwan together.

It was not until the next morning that Ding Bao came out of the apartment in a hurry alone.

Tanwan is the place for Chen Zhuo and who, and the paparazzi in the circle know it. Combined with the past and the past, a plain gossip about a director's unspoken rules about female stars suddenly becomes exciting.

Almost at the same time, a group of Lu Shaoheng's photos flooded the screens of well-known gossip forums.In the photo, Lu Shaoheng came out of Tanwan with a livid face, which aroused more conjectures.

Some people said that Chen Zhuo had returned to his old ways and gave the gold master Lu Shaoheng a big green hat, and some people said that it was not a day or two for these two people to be unrestrained. Drama.

For a while, everything was said on the Internet, and Chen Zhuo's fans started a scolding war with various netizens, and even put "Ding Lu", a name that is unfamiliar to most people, on the top of the hot search.

It was the evening rush hour right now, and Jiang Xiaobo made great efforts to get to Chen Yao's house, but ended up in vain.Chen Zhuo was not at home, and there was no one at home, not even Lu Shaoheng's shadow.

Jiang Xiaobo sat down in front of Chen Yao's house with some exhaustion, and sent him a message again, telling him to call back immediately after seeing the message.

Chen Zhuo's scandals have been going on all the year round. If things just developed like this, Jiang Xiaobo would definitely not be in such a hurry, and usually he would not respond.

But today, Chen Zhuo immediately asked Jiang Xiaobo to refute the rumors on Weibo in the name of the studio, saying that Ding Bao just sent the drunk Chen Zhuo home after the crew party, please do not speculate maliciously.

There have been too many major events in the entertainment industry in the past few years, gossip and scandals such as cheating on whorings have not attracted much interest from the public, and the matter should subside when it comes to this.

Unexpectedly, half an hour after Chen Zhuo's studio responded, Ding Bao posted a photo on his personal Weibo.

The protagonists of the photo are two people. Chen Zhuo is lying on one side of the bed, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, while Ding Bao is lying half naked beside him, looking at the camera and smiling affectionately, clearly in love A sweet and happy look.

Ding Bao also accompanied this photo with a sentimental text. She first reminisced about the happy time of the two of them in the past, and then expressed her disappointment with Chen Zhuo's response today. Between the lines, she expressed her reluctance and affection for him .

Such a "bed photo is a real hammer", coupled with a paragraph of lovely and pitiful words, successfully confirmed Chen Zhuo's reputation of "being unlucky" and "dare to act but not to be", and attracted a large number of netizens to stand in line for her. The heat reached a climax.

Even Jiang Xiaobo couldn't help but wonder if there was really something between Chen Zhuo and Ding Yan.

***

The person Jiang Xiaobo couldn't find after digging three feet, is now in Juxing.

It was approaching the off-duty time, and the underground parking lot was no longer crowded as usual. Chen Zhuo parked the car near the elevator and entered the company's gate.

Chen Zhuo is usually eye-catching, but today he is a hot spot on the Internet. Whether it is in the elevator or in the office area, there are people who are looking at him inquiringly along the way.

Chen Zhuo turned a blind eye to everything around him, and walked straight to Lu Shaoheng's office without stopping.

"President Lu, Director Chen..."

Secretary Lydia dutifully knocked on the door and came in to report. Before she finished speaking, Chen Yao had already come behind her.

Lu Shaoheng was facing the huge glass window in a daze. Hearing the movement, he turned around and saw Chen Zhuo standing at the door. He asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

"I should be asking you this question." Chen Yao and Lydia thanked, and walked towards Lu Shaoheng: "I have been looking for you for a long time."

Lu Shaoheng doesn't come to the company often, let alone stay in the office peacefully, so Chen Zhuo searched every place Lu Shaoheng might go today, but missed this place.

Lu Shaoheng scratched his hair, and said with some distress: "It's not my old man, he said that if he doesn't come to some shit meeting today, he will break my leg."

Chen Yao's patience has been worn out for a day, he is not interested in exploring the purpose of his coming to the company, and asked directly: "Did you see today's news?"

Lu Shaoheng's indifference made him more irritable, and even his voice became a little cold, which sounded stiff.

"Oh, I see, you and Ding Bao were photographed by the paparazzi." Lu Shaoheng left from the window, returned to his desk and sat down.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter, don't pay attention to such news." He still looked indifferent, and even comforted Chen Yao kindly: "Let the support club come forward to appease the fans. It will take a few days for no one to pay attention. In the future Just keep a low profile."

"No, I didn't mean to say that."

Lu Shaoheng's words precisely stepped on Chen Zhuo's painful feet, making him feel like a fool that he was looking for him all over the world today.

But after all, it was his fault. He was not influenced by his emotions. He still came to Lu Shaoheng's desk, looked at him, and finished what he had to say: "I want to tell you that what was said in the news is not true. What happened last night?" Nothing happened, she just sent me home and stayed at home overnight."

Chen Yao really doesn't care what happens on the Internet, and he doesn't care about how the outside world evaluates his private life and his character.

He only cared about what Lu Shaoheng thought.

"Okay, I see." Hearing what Chen Zhuo said, Lu Shaoheng finally raised his head to look at him, with a layer of mockery in his eyes.

"You don't believe it." Chen Zhuo calmly stated a fact.

Chen Zhuo had to admit that he had known for a long time that Ding Bao and her economic company intended to follow him to form a CP scandal, but he wanted to test Lu Shaoheng's attitude, so he turned a blind eye to them and acquiesced in many actions.

Now things are out of control. Lu Shaoheng went back to Tanwan last night to meet Ding Bone. In front of the conclusive video pictures and Ding Bone's sincere blog posts, it is really hard to be convincing when it comes to the fact that there is nothing between the two of them. .

Feelings cannot be tested, this is a truth that even Xie Siwen understands.After experiencing thousands of sails, Chen Yao faced his sincerity for the first time, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he chose the most inappropriate way.

Lu Shaoheng stared at Chen Zhuo, and suddenly raised the end of his eyes, truly releasing this specious smile.

"No, Chen Zhuo, I think you got the point wrong." Lu Shaoheng raised his chin with one hand, tapped his cheek with his fingers, and looked at him innocently: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. In fact, you No need to come and explain this to me."

In an instant, Chen Zhuo felt a sense of clarity. Everything he cared about before had already been answered.

Lu Shaoheng was unaware of this, and asked him several questions one after another: "Do you like Ding Ling? Do you want to start a formal relationship with her? Have you ever considered getting married?"

"As I said, there is nothing between me and her." Chen Yao denied one by one.

"Understood." Lu Shaoheng nodded, and said empathetically, "It's another episode where everyone gets what they need. She's just Zhang Luyu's substitute. You like Zhang Luyu, right?"

"That's not the case." Chen Zhuo rubbed the center of his brows, suddenly feeling a little tired.Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu Shaoheng's attitude has become very clear. He has no intention of explaining any more. It's good to keep a little dignity. Continuing to talk will only embarrass each other even more.

"Okay, it's not important."

Chen Zhuo didn't explain whether he didn't like Zhang Luyu or Ding Bao was not her substitute.But Lu Shaoheng didn't ask, but got up and walked out from behind the desk, and came to Chen Yao.

"You and I are both the same kind of people, selfish, ruthless, and greedy for pleasure." Lu Shaoheng leaned halfway on the corner of the desk, knocked out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and handed the other to Chen Zhuo: "Continue with our respective Live the life you like, and you don’t need to change for anyone. You are free, and so am I, and we are still as we were at the beginning, each at peace and not interfering with each other.”

After Lu Shaoheng finished speaking, Chen Zhuo took a little time to re-understand the meaning of his words.

"Lu Shaoheng, are you sincere?" Chen Zhuo didn't take the cigarette, he grabbed the lighter that Lu Shaoheng had just taken out, and pressed it on the table with a "snap": "You mean, we can each make new friends , dating, kissing, having sex with different people."

"Of course, as long as you're happy, I don't mind what you do with others outside. I won't restrain you, and I don't want to be restrained." Seeing that the cigarette could no longer be smoked, Lu Shaoheng was not angry, and looked at Chen Zhuo with a smile: "Since you don't have anyone you like now, and you don't plan to settle down with Ding Bao, it's fine for us to continue like this."

"At any rate, we've been together for so long, and we've got a good fit in every aspect." Lu Shaoheng suggested thoughtfully: "In the future, when you meet someone you really love, let's break up together without disturbing each other, how about it?"

Chen Zhuo didn't answer Lu Shaoheng immediately, he lowered his eyes to meet that smiling face, he just felt that something in his heart was extinguished, and the embers left behind made him feel at a loss.

"Lu Shaoheng, I want to ask you." Chen Zhuo finally asked Lu Shaoheng a question for himself: "In the future, if someone says that he really likes you, loves you, and wants to be with you, what will you do?" ?”

"Me." Lu Shaoheng thought of Shi Qing's struggling hands in the water before his death, and Ding Bone's drooping eyes last night. His heart was already deserted, and the smile on his face remained the same: "Probably he will not have a head." Let's run back."

Chen Zhuo nodded. The relationship between him and Lu Shaoheng should have been simple. Going back to the beginning is the best way for them.

Finally, Chen Yao spit out a word softly: "Okay."

Upon receiving this answer, Lu Shaoheng's wrists propped on the table collapsed a little, his straight back bowed a little, and was buried in the thick shadow.

Chen Zhuo took a step towards Lu Shaoheng, stretched out his hand and raised his face, lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, looked into his eyes and said, "Okay, this is the best."
