【Zhou Xiang】The Tropic

1.

Walking to a secluded place, Zhou Zekai dialed a certain number.

As soon as the connection was made, the person on the other side made no secret of his anger: "The video has been taken down by public relations! Now, give me an explanation."

Zhou Zekai seemed to have been prepared for a long time, not surprised at all, and asked instead: "What video needs public relations?"

"What video?" Ye Wanyi sneered, "You turned down the dinner, claiming to have something important to do with Ye Mingkang, and it turns out that the so-called important, important, and important thing is to watch that kind of messy game?"

"Oh." To this day, Zhou Zekai has long since given up convincing her that e-sports is not something "messy".After listening to the questioning calmly, he asked again, "That's all?"

"..." The opposite party took a deep breath, as if trying to control his emotions, "Isn't that enough? The two men were making out in public, whispering to each other, which made people think that they would be taken by that bitch Lisa to whisper to the old man. ——I'm not happy with this result, but you sound happy?"

"Of course." Zhou Zekai smiled briskly, "I don't need a key."

The key is a keepsake of the Ye family, and it has always been passed on only to the heirs.With the example of Ye Mingbei, everyone knows that the traditional old man would never allow a junior who "likes men" to take over the key.

"Zhou, Ze, Kai——" Ye Wanyi suddenly raised her voice, followed by a soft tone, as if she remembered something, "You are young and have a gentle temper. I understand that you don't want to fight."

Zhou Zekai didn't speak.

Ye Wanyi continued to lure her: "Anyway, Mom has no other intentions in making this call. I just want to remind you that I have withdrawn the video. As for you, you have moved out for so long, and you are missed at home. Enough self-willedness, hurry up Come back. People like us are different from others after all. Be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't do anything out of line to make grandpa unhappy. If you don't have the key, we'll discuss it later when you come back. "

Ye Wanyi's words were inside and out, and she didn't mention who Zhou Zekai moved out to live with, and with whom he was photographed tonight "whispering and arousing people's imagination".The whole point was to imply that Zhou Zekai would change his mind as soon as possible and help her fight for that position.

Zhou Zekai was extremely disappointed, and secretly laughed at himself who had unrealistic expectations just before he connected the phone.

He should have known that since the marriage change, his mother has been completely different.She is no longer the little girl in love back then, the kind and gentle "mother", but the "Miss Ye family" who set her eyes high.Her focus was on how to gain control of the Ye family, and she didn't feel that the existence of Sun Xiang would affect the relationship between their mother and child, so she arrogantly and ignorantly thought that all Zhou Zekai's off-track actions were just "being self-willed on the outside" .

Zhou Zekai clenched the phone slightly, and replied in a calm tone: "There is no need to delete the video. I have no ghosts in my heart."

"You—" Ye Wanyi was so angry that her voice trembled, she was speechless for a long time, and finally said, "Okay. Your wings are stiff. Whatever you do, you feel that you are right. Don't regret it in the future."

2.

After Zhou Zekai left, Sun Xiang couldn't help thinking about the sentence "Call me back immediately", the more he thought about it, the more numb his scalp became.

Feeling frustrated, he sat there for a while, and slowly realized something that should never be ignored——

The "crux", or "conflict", no matter what it was called, it was the incident that happened on Zhou Zekai's birthday, and it was not resolved at all, including his mother's taboo against Zhou Zekai and himself.

He should have realized it earlier!But Zhou Zekai is too smart!

This guy prevaricates himself with "nothing" several times.When I had doubts, I cleverly used "active and honest" to make myself have the illusion that "although things are difficult, they are under Zhou Zekai's control, so there is no need to worry".

However, this whitewashed peace was punctured just now, the moment Zhou Zekai lowered his eyes just now——

At that moment, Sun Xiang caught the flash of anxiety and tension in Zhou Zekai's eyes.Although the cover-up was extremely good, it did not prevent Sun Xiang from comprehending that it was a conditioned reflex similar to the triggering of a psychological shadow.

That's why Zhou Zekai made a strategic mistake—again using the word "nothing" to prevaricate himself.

He is so dull!Sun Xiang thumped the armrest of the seat bitterly.Why didn't he hear it, Zhou Zekai's tone was too deliberate - obviously pretending to be relaxed, so relaxed that he was even a little indifferent, it didn't look like "it's okay" at all.

3.

Sun Xiang originally wanted to wait for Zhou Zekai to come back and ask him face to face.As a result, we waited and waited, and the people who cleaned the venue had already appeared one after another, but this friend was still nowhere to be seen.

In addition, Zhao Yaoyao happened to be looking for him on business, so he had no choice but to send a message to Zhou Zekai: "I'm leaving first. What do you say at night? You go back directly?"

After the message was sent out, Sun Xiang walked for a while and took out his phone again: "How are you doing there? Is there anything I can do to help?"

In the next second, Zhou Zekai's WeChat message came in: "Reply later."I'm fine.

Sun Xiang held his breath in his chest, staring at that sentence with flickering expression, and after a few seconds, he pressed the phone off.

Fang Minghua and Zhao Yaoyao happened to be walking towards each other.They didn't know what happened, they saw Sun Xiang slightly lowered his head, with a strange expression, and asked casually what was going on.

"It's okay." Sun Xiang shook his head without thinking.

After blurting it out, Sun Xiang once again realized that the word "nothing" is really, really super perfunctory!

He straightened his lips, and unconsciously turned his head to glance at the direction Zhou Zekai was leaving, and the feeling of irritability in his heart became more intense.

4.

The reason why Zhou Zekai didn't look for Sun Xiang immediately after making the phone call was because he was stopped by Ye Mingkang on the way.

Ye Mingkang acted uncharacteristically for his grievances and insisted on asking him to buy a drink to make up for the fact that "uncle deliberately refused to entertain you to watch the game with you but was released as a pigeon".

It happened that Sun Xiang's news came in, Zhou Zekai didn't shy away from it, and checked it in front of Ye Mingkang, who joked, "I'm not nervous about you at all, let's stay with uncle."

Zhou Zekai hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, they drove to the old place - Ye Mingkang's studio on the outskirts of the city.A courtyard, two small villas connected by terraces, inside which are piles of various artworks collected by Ye Mingkang. During the day, there are occasional exhibitions only open to the circle, but there is actually another mystery.

Take the elevator up to the terrace on the top floor, and you will find that it is covered by an egg-shaped ceiling made of one-way glass.There is a stage big enough to squeeze out the band, and a swimming pool that can hold a party, surrounded by scattered sofas, lounge chairs, plus a small circle of independent bar counters, and bartenders provide them with exclusive services.

Ye Mingkang waved his hand, and the idlers left immediately.They watched the stars and chatted for a while, Ye Mingkang went to make drinks, but Zhou Zekai insisted that he only wanted Coke with ice, saying that he had to drive back to Binjiang's apartment tonight.

Ye Mingkang was very speechless, he drank half a glass of wine, and gave up struggling, completely acquiescing to the fact that Zhou Zekai would be with Sun Xiang in the future: "...Please let me, a loner, be spared."

"Well, uncle." Zhou Zekai had already picked a sofa to lie down on, looking at the starry sky leisurely, and smiled silently.

Ye Mingkang was taken aback, and couldn't bear to look at Zhou Zekai's reaction - he knew that with Zhou Zekai's personality, uttering these three words was almost the limit.

To be honest, the word "uncle" alone brought Ye Mingkang great relief, but it was accompanied by an equal amount of loss and depression.

This is the ending he wants most as a refined egoist, isn't it?Zhou Zekai doesn't intend to continue to be obsessed with him about the past, doesn't worry about who is more selfless in it, and is willing to admit that he is his "closest relative" in the Ye family, isn't that enough?

Maybe the blood relationship will affect people's emotions somewhere, Ye Mingkang leaned on the bar, took a sip of his wine, and smiled slowly.At first, it was a little self-deprecating, but later it became a relaxed and comfortable arc.

It seems that there is nothing more to explain to Zhou Zekai right now, Ye Mingkang ate the candied cherries, and simply checked Weibo in boredom.

As a result, not long after opening the client, he shouted in surprise: "What's going on? You and Sun Xiang made headlines!"

To his surprise, Zhou Zekai was extremely calm: "Oh. I know."

5.

It turned out that Ye Wanyi did what she said.Zhou Zekai told her not to take down the video, but she acted "pissed off" and asked someone to re-release it immediately.Not only that, but she also "kindly" helped him buy back the trending searches and headlines, just like a parent who "taught you a lesson, don't regret it".

So what is raw video content?

It was telephoto candidly filming the whole process of Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai watching the game in the auditorium.

The emergence of the revelations was full of surprises, but it was also very easy to understand—Sun Xiang had pretended to be true, but all the secrets were kept secret, and the damage was on his wristband.

This leather wristband with metal buckle has a very special design.It comes from the hands of a small group of designers, and each piece is individually customized according to customer needs.And Sun Xiang happened to post a high-definition picture of it in his ins a few days ago.

In this way, the identity of the owner of the wristband is beyond doubt.

After confirming that he was Sun Xiang, the melon eaters quickly became curious about the man next door who seemed to have a close relationship with him.

This round, the main work of gossip is undertaken by CP fans.This group of fans who are familiar with Sun Xiang's "gossip target characteristics" lived up to expectations and handed in a satisfactory answer within minutes - a screenshot compared to a long Weibo.

They analyzed the profile of the man wearing a mask beside Sun Xiang, and found that he and Zhou Zekai, who was carried into the community by Sun Xiang a few months ago, almost completely overlapped in multiple angles!

what does that mean?big news!Traffic!

Mercury just won the headwind today, which was already enough to attract the attention of netizens, but then it was revealed that the young and handsome boss did not sit in the related seats, but painstakingly disguised himself, went to the ordinary VIP seats and had already refuted many rumors. The next seven-year gossip watched the entire game with affection.

This is not what is love? !So fucking touching!

What's more, he took the opportunity to reveal that not long after the video was released, a "mysterious force" tried to withdraw the video from the entire network, but only half an hour later, all the withdrawn videos were quietly restored.As we all know, the same-sex marriage bill has been passed right now, and the two are not active players. If the relationship is normal, just come out and clarify it. Why is there any need to remove the hot search?

Is it possible that the "Double One" love is true, and it is also true that the forces behind the scenes want to obstruct it?

——This twists and turns, ups and downs, is comparable to the script of a bloody TV series!

The marketing account was overjoyed—they were worried that they had nothing to write, and the fresh and hot material was brought directly to their eyes—they quickly tried their best to drive out the long Weibo Jiugong grid with different angles, trying to get a wave of them heat.

All Lele does not include Ye Mingkang.

At this moment, he was asking one of the parties with a complicated expression, with a probing tone: "It must be very troublesome to be seen by the people in the old house. Anyway, I should find someone to remove the trending search first?"

"No." Zhou Zekai resolutely refused.

"Huh?" Ye Mingkang thought he heard it wrong.

"Keep the hot searches." Zhou Zekai repeated.

Ye Mingkang had a premonition that he had guessed Zhou Zekai's plan, and took a deep breath, "You won't plan to—"

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded, "Almost."

The more intimate, the more limited my patience becomes.Maybe it's time to check if what you said was true: about "he might like me".
