Underwater

Gu Ling's frantic footsteps gradually slowed down. He turned around and saw that the elevator had already gone up, and the corridor was quiet.

He turned his head, letting his forehead hair fall down to cover his eyes, calming down his chaotic breathing.

Back in the room, as soon as he opened the door, he heard Yu Chen laughing: "Yes, I'll go back tomorrow - but I won't stay for too long, I have to come back in two or three days."

Gu Ling walked in and saw that Yu Chen was making a voice call, and there was a female voice on the other side of the video.

"Hey wife, I won't tell you anymore, my colleague is back, see you tomorrow." Yu Chen glanced at Gu Ling, and immediately whispered into the screen, "Come on, have a word."

Gu Ling walked to his bed in silence, and heard Yu Chen blowing a kiss from the air very naturally.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that people who fall in love want to kiss anytime and anywhere like this?It's unreasonable...

Just halfway through the bullet screen in his head, Gu Ling suddenly realized something, pursed his lips unnaturally, and manually closed the bullet screen in his head.

"Gu Ling?" Yu Chen turned off the video and explained to him, "Are you back? Did you drink too much?"

Gu Ling turned to look at him and shook his head.

Yu Chen: "Hey, that's good, go to bed early, will you go home tomorrow?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Go back."

When the crew changed scenes, they had to go to set up the scene first, which could have been seamlessly connected, but there was an unexpected delay in the progress of the next filming location, so there was a gap of two or three days in the middle.

Gu Ling originally didn't intend to go back to Jingzhou, but thought it would be safer to send back the picture frame left by his mother first, so he booked the ticket temporarily.

Yu Chen didn't ask any more questions, and went to brush his teeth while humming a song.

Gu Ling changed his clothes, and after thinking about it for a while, he said hesitantly, "How long have you and sister-in-law been together?"

When Yu Chen heard the question, he immediately became energetic: "Guess?"

Gu Ling thought for a while: "Two years?"

Yu Chen shook his head again and again.

Gu Ling guessed again: "Five years?"

Five years should be too much guesswork, after all, it seems that they are still in the period of passionate love.

After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth, Yu Chen came out of the bathroom, stretched out a finger and shook it, obviously very satisfied: "Unexpectedly, 20 years!"

Gu Ling's eyes widened, and he said unexpectedly, "20 years??"

Yu Chen nodded seriously: "I have known her since I was 15 years old, and I liked her at that time, it was love at first sight!! It has been 20 years since I caught up with her?"

Gu Ling opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

"20 years...you look like..." He couldn't help but say what he was thinking, but felt that it was not appropriate to say so, so he didn't continue.

Yu Chen guessed what he was thinking, and filled in for him: "It's like still in love, right?"

Gu Ling paused and nodded.

"Ham, I've heard many people tell me that." Yu Chen smiled nonchalantly, "If you want me to tell you, it's not surprising at all, as long as you put in a little effort, you can do it."

Gu Ling rolled his pupils and asked softly, "For example?"

Yu Chen stretched out three fingers: "There are three points."

"First, maintain a sense of distance appropriately. As the saying goes, a little goodbye is better than a newlywed. Sometimes a short-term separation is very helpful. In our industry, it is actually quite easy to do. There are always a few months in a year. Although In the eyes of others, this is gathering less and leaving more, but I think it is a good thing."

Gu Ling listened carefully, and subconsciously thought that he and Qi Che could do this too.

"Second, we must always create a sense of freshness and ritual, and take every festival seriously."

Gu Ling nodded, thinking that this is not a difficult task.

"The last one is also the most important one." Yu Chen nodded his mouth heavily, "Tell me, what is the mouth used for?"

Gu Ling blinked and answered the question: "Eat?"

Yu Chen: "It's talking!!"

"Uh..." Gu Ling nodded obediently, "Well, yes."

"So what does this mean?" Yu Chen looked at Gu Ling expectantly.

Gu Ling looked at him, and realized after a while that he was asking himself, showing hesitation.

Yu Chen sighed: "Forget it, let me say it myself. It means having the courage to express it! If you like it, you have to say it, if you want to kiss, you can kiss it, think...um."

Yu Chen swallowed the rest of the words, and completed the earnest teaching to the younger generation this time.

Gu Ling lowered his head, scratched at the corner of his eyes, and found that he seemed to be doing very poorly on the third point.

That is to say, Qi Che looks so cold but always speaks directly, otherwise I really don't know what will happen to me and him up to now.

Yu Chen turned on the bed, played with the phone for a while, and suddenly realized something belatedly, threw the phone away: "Ling Lingzi."

Gu Ling raised his eyebrows. Recently, he learned this oral habit from his wife. He always called him that from time to time, but he didn't like this name very much. He always felt like he had become a pair with the silly dog ​​at home named Ling Lingqi.

"Are you..." Yu Chen leaned over and asked actively, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Gu Ling's eyes flickered, and he looked away: "No."

"Impossible!" Yu Chen pondered for a while, "I really haven't seen you doing anything recently, that is... being chased by others?"

Gu Ling paused when he took the phone, and even wondered if Yu Chen was also reborn and took the script.

"Looking at your expression, it's almost enough." Yu Chen had a look of seeing through everything, "Being chased by someone, I'm still a little shaken, right?"

Gu Ling lowered his head in silence, tracing the veins on the back of his hand back and forth with his eyes, a little lost in thought: "I'm afraid..."

"Afraid?" Yu Chen looked at his expression, and put away his joking expression.

When this person is not joking, it makes people feel safe and makes Gu Ling subconsciously want to confide in something.

Ever since his parents passed away, he was used to solving everything by himself. Although his sister tried his best to take care of him in life, he always wanted not to cause trouble for her.

Apart from studying, working, and living hard, he didn't seem to have any mood swings in his time. Even if there were, they were roughly digested by alcohol and sleep.

But this time, it seemed that no matter how much alcohol he drank and how many days and nights he slept, there was no way to solve it silently.

"I've seen a lot of couples who break up like enemies."

Talking about this kind of thing is like a faucet that cannot be turned off. Once it is turned on, it is difficult to stop. Gu Ling heard his own voice without any ups and downs, stumbling, "If that's the case... it's better to be friends forever."

Yu Chen smiled, looked at him, lay on his back on the bed and looked at the ceiling, and said in a low voice:

"There are so many people in this world, who is not a stranger at the beginning? If there is a chance to change from a stranger to a lover, it is very rare, so you must seize it, even if there is no result."

"Even if it's like you said, if you just be friends because you're afraid of breaking up, you're happy, and it's not fair to that person."

"For things like feelings, others have taken 99 steps. If you also like him, then you must at least take this last step, otherwise you will be cruel to him."

Gu Ling was lost in thought for a while, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.

Yu Chen's eyelids became heavier, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Love is the rush of two people. If a person walks 99 steps towards you alone, how lonely will he be? In the end, if he doesn't get your response, what should he do?" How pitiful is it?"

These words seemed to have touched an extremely sensitive nerve in Gu Ling, and a fine soreness spread in his heart.

After Yu Chen said this, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell asleep.

After a long 5 minutes, Gu Ling regained his five senses from the frozen state.

He stood up, walked lightly, simply washed and turned off the lights.

Yu Chen drank and slept soundly until Gu Ling lay on the bed and didn't wake up.

Gu Ling curled up, slowly opened and closed his eyes, to relieve the soreness in his heart.

Countless pictures flashed in front of him, Qi Che's delicate and indifferent side face, those calm eyes like a deep lake, and the faint scent of snow mint that only he possessed.

Gu Ling suddenly thought, this man has two sides, one side can be seen by everyone, he can be described with countless beautiful words, he is a dazzling existence that can be written in books and painted in paintings.

The other side that others can't see is that once Gu Ling thinks about it, it feels as if there are small sand and stones grinding on the softest place, and it hurts so badly that he can't breathe.

Qi Che had already walked 99 steps towards him.

However, during these 99 steps, he never raised his head.

The next afternoon, the plane landed at Jingzhou Airport.

In order to keep the picture frame properly, Gu Ling walked out with a big suitcase in one hand.

When walking on the arrival floor of the huge airport, Gu Ling couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He should have agreed to Gao Lin's proposal to help him carry his luggage before leaving. He really overestimated himself.

Gu Ling walked for a while and took a break, standing on the empty arrival floor for a while, and saw some fans gathering not far away to pick up the plane.

The cast and crew arrive at about the same time, so there are a lot of fans here today.

Gu Ling glanced at the time, thinking that Qi Che should be coming out soon.

He subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He didn't meet Qi Che before he set off from the film crew. In addition, after leaving the airport, the big star had to go directly to catch a schedule, so there should be no chance for the whole day today. seen.

Gu Ling whispered to himself: "What are you doing, just to catch a glimpse of you in the crowd..."

I was really stunned.

He stood there and looked at it, and suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder.

Gu Ling turned his head to look, his expression froze.

Standing behind him was a young man wearing sunglasses. He smiled at him, said something in French, then took off his sunglasses as if he had reacted, and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."

Gu Ling couldn't react for a while, and after a long time, he said softly: "Ze Yi? You... have you returned to your country?"

"That's right." Yang Zeyi said, "I told you in the group last night that they all replied to me, but Brother Ling didn't reply to me."

Gu Ling subconsciously wanted to touch the phone, but he couldn't free up his hands, so he could only say, "Sorry, I was a little busy last night, so I didn't take care of it."

He just remembered that Yang Zeyi in his previous life also returned to China this year, but at that time he had already been forced to leave Jingzhou to regret his marriage, so of course he didn't see him at this time.

Yang Zeyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't, don't say sorry to me, why would I blame Brother Ling?"

Gu Ling felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't call me that, I've grown up after all."

He looked up and was speechless for a while: "I haven't seen you in seven or eight years, and you are taller than me."

Yang Zeyi looked a little shorter than Qi Che, but he was taller than himself anyway. Gu Ling suddenly felt a bit of resentment about his height for not exerting himself in the later stage.

Yang Zeyi insisted: "That can't be done, how old are you still my brother? By the way, you are carrying so much luggage..."

Gu Ling said: "I came back from the set and was preparing to..."

In the middle of speaking, there was a burst of cheers from a distance, Gu Ling immediately turned his head to look over, and sure enough, he saw Qi Che appearing in the center of the crowd.

Yang Zeyi also looked over there, said another sentence in French, which sounded like a sigh, and then said, "Is this an actor? A star? Such a big presence."

Gu Ling coughed lightly, and touched the tip of his nose: "It's... a star, um. His name is Qi Che, have you heard of it?"

"No." Yang Zeyi raised his eyebrows, "I'm not very interested in this kind of person."

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, feeling a little wrong, turned to look at him: "What kind of person is this?"

Yang Zeyi remembered what Gu Ling said just now, "I just came back from the set", and immediately changed his words: "No, no, it's just...it means I don't follow stars very much, I don't pay much attention."

Gu Ling let out a "hmm" without emotion, and turned his head to look in Qi Che's direction.

Qi Che was wearing a silky moon white shirt and a thin black tie today. His exquisite jaw line was covered by the lower edge of the mask, and his familiar indifferent eyebrows and eyes were exposed. He had no makeup, and was covered by a black man who hadn't taken care of much. Faintly blocked.

Gu Ling suddenly felt that Qi Che's overall look at the airport today was a bit different. It was not as neat and serious as before. Instead, it seemed a little loose and casual, with an inexplicably youthful look.

Yang Zeyi's voice suddenly sounded: "Do you know each other?"

Gu Ling suddenly came back to his senses, and stuttered: "I... no, it's just a crew."

"Oh, no wonder." Yang Zeyi's eyes were glued to Gu Ling's body all the time, and the smile on his face couldn't hold back, "I said you see him taking it so seriously."

Gu Ling: "..."

It was fine if Yang Zeyi didn't say anything, but he realized that his heart was beating a little faster.

"Let's go." Gu Ling came back to his senses and asked, "Are you going home directly? Ask them out for dinner tonight?"

"I won't go back." Yang Zeyi moved closer, "Brother, can I stay at your house?"

Gu Ling paused: "Yes, yes, but you have seen my small apartment before, can you get used to it?"

"No problem." Yang Zeyi was immediately happy when he heard his promise, "It's just that Brother Ling has to be wronged for a few days."

Gu Ling shook his head and said, "It's okay, I won't live there anymore."

Yang Zeyi's smile froze: "Why?"

"I... moved to live somewhere else." Gu Ling said ambiguously, "I'm getting married."

The look in Yang Zeyi's eyes disappeared instantly.

A few seconds later, he covered up this strange emotion again, and asked with a smile, "You... are getting married? Why haven't I heard?"

Gu Ling didn't want to talk about this topic, after all, he didn't want to bring Qi Che out for the time being, so he used the same rhetoric as he did to Zhang Chen and the others: "It's just... the marriage arranged by the family."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the exit: "Don't mention this, let's go, go back first..."

Yang Zeyi took a few steps to catch up: "Marriage? The Gu family? Are you crazy? Are you working for the Gu family??"

Gu Ling was dragging a suitcase in one hand, and it was extremely difficult to walk. Yang Zeyi kept asking questions, which made him feel restless.

Fans from Qi Che's side also gradually came towards each other. Gu Ling raised his eyes, and happened to see Qi Che getting closer among the crowd.

Gu Ling didn't even want to answer Yang Zeyi's words, so he quickened his pace and walked among the fans.

"Are you forced?" Yang Zeyi caught up and refused to give up, "You can go back on your word, I can help you..."

Gu Ling tripped on the sole of his foot and staggered when he was suddenly tripped by the suitcase.

Yang Zeyi reached out to support his left hand. Just as Gu Ling stabilized his figure, he suddenly noticed that there was also a hand on his right arm.

This hand was long and thin, and there was a small mole on the joint of the index finger. Gu Ling recognized whose hand it was at a glance.

He immediately raised his eyes and met Qi Che's light and gentle eyes, but only for a short second.

The hand was released immediately, just like every artist casually helping a passer-by at the airport. Fans passed by lively and enthusiastically, without looking at Gu Ling for a long time.

Qi Che continued to walk forward, but when he passed by Yang Zeyi, he suddenly raised his eyes, and his eyes flicked across his face coldly.

"Are you okay?" Yang Zeyi lowered his head and asked Gu Ling, completely unaware that a glacier-like gaze swept over him.

Gu Ling shook his head, straightened up, and when he looked back, Qi Che had already gone far away, surrounded by fans following him, he couldn't see his back clearly at all.

"This big star is pretty good." Yang Zeyi commented casually, "I just don't know if it's just for show?"

Gu Ling frowned again, pulled his arm out of Yang Zeyi's hand, and said calmly, "Don't speculate on others."

Yang Zeyi's face was not very good-looking, but he still said, "Understood, Brother Ling."

Gu Ling didn't speak any more and left the airport.

Steward Chen had already arranged for someone to pick him up. Gu Ling arrived at the agreed place and signaled for Yang Zeyi to get in the car too.

Yang Zeyi took a look at this car, recalled the market price and rarity of this car in his mind, his eyes changed.

After getting in the car, Gu Ling first told the driver about his old and small location, then turned around and asked, "Why don't you stay in a hotel, why are you staying at my place?"

Yang Zeyi immediately smiled and said, "No, I think it's best to live in your place."

Gu Ling didn't say anything more, and acquiesced.

Picking up his phone at this moment, he saw that there were indeed a lot of messages in the group.

【Thousands of flowers in the bushes, a leaf does not touch the body (5)】

[Master Zhang Chen: Our mysterious fifth person has finally returned to China! ! 】

[Luo Yuan: Brother Ling, did you see it?Come out for a dinner date. 】

[Lin Yiwen: Tonight? 】

[Master Zhang Chen: I'm OK, but I just don't know how Ling Bao and Ze Yi's time is. 】

Gu Ling said, "They asked you the time."

"I can do it." Yang Zeyi propped his chin and turned his head to look at Gu Ling, "Brother Ling, set a time."

Gu Ling didn't speak, wondering if Qi Che would go home after shooting the magazine.

He subconsciously withdrew to look at Qi Che's WeChat box, but found that there was no message, so he thought about it and didn't send it to ask.

"It might not work tonight." Gu Ling still wanted to be on the safe side. After all, they haven't been home for a long time, and tonight is considered a relatively important day. "Tomorrow?"

Yang Zeyi nodded: "OK."

Gu Ling replied in the group and put away his phone.

Yang Zeyi wanted to say something, but his eyes passed over the driver driving in front.

The driver is wearing a neat uniform, and he is well-trained at first glance, which is obviously not the configuration that ordinary people can have.

All the way to Gu Ling's old house in silence, Gu Ling got out of the car and helped Yang Zeyi get his luggage, and sent him upstairs.

"Here are the keys." Gu Ling took out a bunch of keys that were no longer used much from the back of his backpack and handed them to him, "Maybe there are many things in the house missing, and you have to work hard to buy them."

Yang Zeyi took the key and gently tossed it up and down in his hand: "It's all right. Shall we have something to eat at home tonight?"

Gu Ling put his luggage in the small living room, and shook his head when he heard the words: "No."

"Let's have something together." Yang Zeyi smiled, "We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, Brother Ling just let me go?"

Gu Ling looked at him, a little hesitant.

After all, people have grown taller than themselves, so can they still be treated like children in the past? ?

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

Gu Ling took a look and saw that it was a WeChat message from Qi Che.

【Qi Che: What do you want to eat tonight? 】

Gu Ling turned off the screen, and said to Yang Zeyi, "I'm leaving first, I'll catch up when I have time."

Yang Zeyi frowned: "What's wrong?"

Gu Ling walked out the door and said casually, "Don't ask, just have a good rest."

Yang Zeyi opened his mouth, but finally didn't ask: "Be careful on the road."

Gu Ling went downstairs and messaged Qi Che back:

[Gu Ling: Are you coming back for dinner at night? 】

Qi Che didn't reply anymore.

Gu Ling didn't think too much, went downstairs to the car, and returned to the other courtyard that he hadn't been back for a long time.

The kitchen was already busy, and Gu Ling didn't see Qi Che's person on the first floor, so he asked Butler Chen, and when he learned that he had gone to the lower floor, he also went downstairs.

There was no one in the gym, so Gu Ling glanced over to the swimming pool and saw water ripples on the surface of the huge swimming pool.

Gu Ling walked in and called out, "Qi Che?"

Echoes echoed in the great room.

After a splash of water, Gu Ling saw Qi Che rushing out of the water, but was surprised to find that he hadn't changed into his swimming trunks, and was still wearing the white shirt from the airport. He was soaked through, and his thin muscles were clearly visible.

Gu Ling suddenly felt the top of his head go numb.

This feeling is very subtle. At the airport, he and so many people present saw Qi Che's appearance, but now he bumped into his drenched appearance in the water in private.

Comparing the two, this strong sense of impact and the sense of secrecy that only you can see this picture magnifies the sensory stimulation to the limit.

He struggled to keep his expression from looking so strange, walked to the edge of the swimming pool, and waited for Qi Che to go ashore.

However, he waited on the shore for a while, only to realize that Qi Che just glanced at him from a distance, and then dived down again with a blank expression on his face.

Gu Ling remained silent, vaguely feeling that Qi Che was in a bad mood.

He belatedly recalled the scene at the airport just now.

Qi Che was able to support him so well, maybe his eyes stayed on him all the time.

This awareness made his heart thump. Inexplicably, he seemed to suddenly understand the literal meaning of the word "Little Deer Crashing".

At the same time, he also remembered that he was not standing alone at the time.

Did Yang Zeyi get close to him?Does it seem very intimate?Do you have……

Gu Ling watched as Qi Che dived down, and then swam a few meters in his direction.

He squatted down, leaned against the shore, and leaned forward to touch Qi Che's side a few times:

"Qi Che."

"Are you...jealous?"

This kind of question seemed a bit narcissistic, and Gu Ling's ears turned red when he said it.

Another splash of water, this time Qi Che broke through the water very close to him.

The man's black hair was soaked and dripping with water. When he was expressionless, he looked extremely indifferent, making people shudder at the slightest approach.

Gu Ling glanced at him, subconsciously panicking.

"That boy... was born to me, and I looked up to him like a younger brother." Gu Ling squatted still, shaking his arms restlessly, "Don't think too much about it."

Qi Che looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly dived down again.

Gu Ling thought he was about to go ashore, and was about to stand up.

In just a split second, his arm was pulled, before he could utter a full cry, he lost his center of gravity and fell into the swimming pool.

The water in the swimming pool is a bit cold, but it looks just right in this summer, and the cool air passing through the skin rushes straight into the bones.

Gu Ling lost his balance and flopped in the water for a while, feeling a hand firmly support his side waist, and his upper body floated out of the water.

"Qi Che!!" Gu Ling was covered in water, wiped it vigorously, and screamed, "What are you doing??"

He was also soaked at this time, the thin cloth was tightly attached to the skin, and the warmth of the palms on the side of his waist gradually penetrated, making him shiver uncontrollably.

After Gu Ling wiped away the water in front of his eyes, he saw Qi Che's face that could make people throb at any time in the patter of water flowing from his forehead.

He was so close that he seemed to be exchanging breaths.

Gu Ling panted hard, didn't know what to say, and felt that his sobriety sanity was lost the moment he fell on the water.

"He looks very close to you." Qi Che suddenly said softly.

Gu Ling was dumbfounded, and panicked even more.

There were a few drops of water hanging on Qi Che's eyelashes, covering his deep eyes with unclear emotions.

He looked down at Gu Ling, and saw water drops sliding on the deeply sunken collarbone. The young man was actually very thin, and his skin was so fair that even a little red mark would be very obvious, but the struggle and collision just now under the water made him His neck and shoulders were stained with patches of pink.

Qi Che's Adam's apple slipped, and he slowly looked away.

Gu Ling noticed that his eyes turned to the side, refusing to look at himself.

Qi Che frowned slightly, revealing a seldom-revealed depression and resentment: "But he didn't help you with the suitcase."

Gu Ling was startled, blinked to get rid of the last drop of water in front of his eyes: "?"

It took him more than ten seconds to understand what Qi Che was talking about.

"Are you... angry about this?" Gu Ling suddenly wanted to laugh, but he didn't know whether to laugh or not, after all, Qi Che looked really unhappy.

Qi Che turned his eyes back and looked at him: "If he helped you, you wouldn't almost fall down."

Judging by the tone of his voice, he felt that his logic made sense and he was a little bit confident.

Gu Ling looked at him for a while, and saw that his face was wet, and his brows and eyes, which were always as cold as ice, showed a childish look.

After staring at each other in silence for half a minute, Gu Ling suddenly lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

In order to hide the fact that he laughed because he thought the iceberg Alpha in the fan's mouth was cute, Gu Ling plunged into the water and dived in.

He liked the thrill of being about to drown, and got used to it after diving a lot, so his vision under water was still clear.

Then he saw Qi Che's thin black tie, which looked like a lock to lock up desire during the day, but now it was like a pair of pliers to open impulsiveness.

He dived for a while, spitting out a string of bubbles, and heard Qi Che's voice calling him faintly from the surface of the water, with a somewhat anxious tone.

Before being picked up by Qi Che again, Gu Ling's last sanity was consumed by the oxygen that was about to run out. He raised his hand, resisting the resistance of the water, and grabbed the tail of Qi Che's tie.

Then he exerted all his strength and dragged the person in front of him into the deep pool of desire.

Qi Che only had time to hold his last breath, and felt that from the tie to the neckline, the hand that worked hard under the surface of the water tugged at the top button.

Gu Ling's hands climbed up, hooked Qi Che's neck, and raised his head with difficulty.

Then there is youthful, impulsive, relentless, hastily.

Under the surface of the water where no one notices, kissing.
