Do not lie to me

After Shang Xuechen made the phone call, he felt a little relieved.Sitting by the bed, I began to think about where to get the money.Now that his hand is injured, he can only do odd jobs after his hand heals, but the money from part-time work is too slow. Shang Xuechen rubbed his temples. From the current point of view, it seems that the money comes quickly just from sleeping with him.If you make Ji Shuping happy, can you advance 500 million in advance?

Shang Xuechen felt that maybe he would wave his hand to give the money when he was happy, so he really had no idea.Ji Shuping is not like the kind of person who uses money to make people happy, what kind of rich people, they say they are generous and generous, and they say they are stingy and stingy.

Shang Xuechen was so anxious about the money that he pulled the hairs on his head, and he couldn't think of a way for a long time. After thinking about it, it was Ji Shuping.Simply go downstairs to get yourself a glass of water, calm down, and take a look at what Ji Shuping is doing by the way.

Looking downstairs, Ji Shuping was still sitting at the kitchen bar with his computer in his arms.Shang Xuechen didn't understand, why would he sit in the kitchen all day without a study in such a big house.Shang Xuechen walked over lightly, "Hey, what are you having for lunch?" As for what to eat, that little pebble was an eternal topic.

It's a pity that Ji Shuping didn't raise his eyes, and continued to look at the computer.Shang Xuechen walked over to sit on the high chair next to him, and only then did he see Ji Shuping's computer screen clearly. It seemed that he was having a video conference, but it was only one-way. Only Ji Shuping saw the status of the meeting, and the people on the other side of the meeting It seems that they don't know about Ji Shuping's situation.Shang Xuechen looked up at Ji Shuping's side profile, also, his current face didn't seem suitable for the scene.Shang Xuechen didn't want to disturb him when he was engaged in work, but he really had nothing to do, so he could just sit aside obediently and watch along with him.

The meeting lasted for two hours before it ended. Shang Xuechen sat by and watched the people on the screen discuss for a long time without any result, just listening to them yelling.When the meeting was over, Ji Shuping closed the computer, got off his chair and walked around the bar. Shang Xuechen looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cook."

Hearing his answer, Shang Xuechen saw that it was indeed time for lunch.He himself had a broken arm anyway, so he propped his chin with his left hand to watch Ji Shuping's busy back, "Hey, every time you make a plan, do you have to hold a meeting to be so fussy?"

Ji Shuping turned on the stove and poured olive oil into the pan, "It depends on the customer. If the customer says the plan is not good, they have to change it. The person in front of the video is the customer this time, and they make underwear. I mentioned it earlier. He didn’t think several plans would work. This time we have made several proposals in turn, but we don’t know what his tendency is, so we invited him to a meeting to find out.”

Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, nodded, but didn't speak, and stayed quietly waiting for his meal.Ji Shuping's actions were quite fast, and he prepared a few dishes in a short while, but when they were served, Shang Xuechen felt that he was really taking revenge on himself.Three dishes and one soup, the three dishes are: vegetarian stuffed bitter gourd with bitter gourd, carrots, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms; simple fried shredded bitter gourd; bitter gourd stuffed with steamed beef and bitter gourd; one soup is bitter gourd small fish soup .

The three dishes and one soup made Shang Xuechen bitter, "Did you do it on purpose? I didn't do it on purpose that time. I only know how to scramble eggs. If you curse at me because of me, you want to make me angry." But no, it’s okay if I don’t swear in the future? Is it okay for you to do this?”

Ji Shuping patted the rice in the bowl with a spoon and handed it to Shang Xuechen. Shang Xuechen was still complaining, saying Ji Shuping was careful.Before eating, Ji Shuping bowed his head and said something that made Shang Xuechen suspicious, "I didn't do it on purpose, and I only know how to make bitter gourd."

Shang Xuechen was questioning the credibility of Ji Shuping's words, Ji Shuping raised his head and said, "My dad only taught me how to make bitter gourd."

Shang Xuechen picked up the bowl and wondered who your father loves bitter gourd so much. After thinking about it, he sighed, "I only know how to scramble eggs, and you only know how to make bitter gourd. Can we live together?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shang Xuechen was dumbfounded, and carefully raised his eyes to look at Ji Shuping, seeing him continue to eat with his head down, he felt relieved.I secretly cursed again in my heart, damn it, this damned psychological hint.

After Shang Xuechen shut up, he was angry and embarrassed for a while, so he pretended to mention it casually, "What plans have you all come up with? Why are the bosses not satisfied? I think it's better for women to come up with underwear. You guys don't have any plans. How to grasp the consumption psychology of prospective women if you have worn a bra/cover.”

Ji Shuping put a piece of bitter gourd stuffed with meat on Shang Xuechen's rice mound. Taking advantage of Ji Shuping's inattention, Shang Xuechen picked up the bitter gourd with his chopsticks and threw it into the trash can beside his feet with a bitter face.

"The boss of the client is also a man. What we want to focus on is not the consumption mentality of women, but the brand plan of the client. I asked someone about it, and it seems that the son of the boss came up with an idea and wanted to find an online shop. Hong wrote a review post to promote their underwear. The boss didn't say anything bad, and didn't agree with our proposal, so I wanted to test him out."

Shang Xuechen couldn't help asking curiously, "Then what plan did you come up with?"

"I met that boss several times at the reception. I also know his personality. Older people are a bit conservative. Judging by his appearance, he has no idea of ​​product transformation. Underwear is also a consumable product. In terms of efficacy There is no sex at all, and the tightness is supported by a steel ring below, and it will basically cause deformation once it is put into the water. Therefore, our plan here is to follow the traditional publicity route, focusing on skin-friendly comfort.”

Shang Xuechen listened to Ji Shuping's words and nodded, "It seems to be true. Women's underwear is like children's diapers. It seems more practical to wear and comfortable."

"Although the boss has a conservative personality, he values ​​his son very much. I guess he doesn't want to discourage his son's enthusiasm and participation, so we have also made a plan for Internet promotion, but we don't know what he wants. Which one is it? Judging from his expression during the meeting, he seemed not very satisfied with the conservative plan."

"I think it's better to be conservative."

Ji Shuping looked up at him, and Shang Xuechen was picking bamboo shoots from the plate of stuffed bitter gourd with chopsticks, "Why is it a conservative plan?"

"Ah?" Shang Xuechen raised his head in astonishment, and the bamboo shoots he picked out with great difficulty fell on the table.

Ji Shuping glanced at the bamboo shoots on the table, and gave him a piece of mushroom, "Let me ask you, why do you think the conservative plan is better?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and picked the rice in the bowl, "I just said it casually, and you won't believe the reason."

"I believe you."

Hearing Ji Shuping's words, Shang Xuechen raised his head to look at him, and met his shiny black eyes, causing him to say his reason out of nowhere, "In the video conference just now, someone mentioned something Regarding the opinion on Internet promotion, the boss first pursed his lips."

Ji Shuping frowned and recalled, "Why didn't I find out?"

"The degree of pursing his lips is very small. There is a dimple on his chin, and the dimple on his chin deepens when he purses his lips. This shows that he actually has a negative attitude towards this plan. When he mentioned it later, he glanced at the person on the left. , and the nasolabial folds are obviously deepened. The deepening of the nasolabial folds indicates that he is unhappy. He may not want to continue listening. He glanced at the person on the left because he is left-handed with a pen in his left hand. Maybe his usual habit of shaking his head starts from the left. In short, I I think he may not agree with the Internet promotion. Later, when it comes to traditional publicity methods, he raised his shoulders, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin slightly, and pursed his mouth for a while, but the dimple of his chin did not appear, although he looked serious , but this is an expression of recognition. It means that he himself agrees with your plan."

"Why did he act more serious later, but you said he agreed with our conservative plan more?"

Shang Xuechen tilted his head slightly, "Well, how should I put it, because recognition is a derivative emotion of joy. The expression of joy is exaggerated, and recognition is to make the expression of joy more introverted. When you smile when you are happy, you also purse your lips first and then Slowly open your mouth and laugh, which is different from pursing your mouth in negative emotions. When you purse your mouth in negative emotions, the corners of your mouth will twitch, and your chin will protrude. At this time, the protruding chin will look bumpy. When you purse your lips again, the dimple didn’t appear, and when you smile, the lower eyelid will lift up and bulge, revealing fine lines. People with fat eyes have bulging lower eyelids when they smile, which is often called lying silkworm. He half-squints his eyes, so the expression on his face when he agrees is quite serious at first glance."

Ji Shuping nodded after listening, and watched Shang Xuechen continue to pick and choose on the plate, picked up a chopstick of bitter gourd shreds to eat, his face wrinkled into a ball of rubbish paper in the trash can, Ji Shuping chuckled, turned around and gave it to him A bowl of sweet plum tomato soup.Shang Xuechen stuck out his tongue, took a sip of the sweet soup, put down the bowl, and tried his best to run Ji Shuping with his eyes, and sure enough, he still held grudges.

But he didn't choke him with words, took a bite of his meal, and tapped the side of the bowl of the person opposite him with his chopsticks, "Eat something else in the evening."

Ji Shuping chewed bitter gourd and asked him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Shang Xuechen bit his chopsticks and thought for a while. He actually wanted to eat hamburgers, but also wanted to eat hot pot, large plate chicken, and beef stew. I compromised myself, "Look at what I can eat, not bitter melon, not sweet."

"You don't have to eat bitter gourd." Shang Xuechen didn't expect Ji Shuping to agree so easily, maybe he gave him advice on the plan, man, as expected, he still has to be able to read his words.Ji Shuping raised his eyes to look at him, it was rare for Shang Xuechen not to look at him coldly on purpose and stop eating bitter gourd for dinner. "I don't want to sleep on the sofa tonight, though."

Shang Xuechen still turned cold, "You have so many rooms, no one is forcing you to sleep on the sofa."

Ji Shuping lowered his head and picked up another piece of bitter gourd stuffed meat and put it in Shang Xuechen's bowl, then looked up at him, "Eat it."

Ji Shuping stared, Shang Xuechen had no choice but to secretly pour out the bitter gourd in the bowl, looked at his own bowl as if there was a deep hatred, looked at it for a while, took a breath, then closed his eyes and ate it, chewed two mouthfuls, and swallowed abruptly , just wanted to have a sip of sweet soup, but Ji Shuping took it away and pushed the bitter gourd fish soup up.Shang Xuechen held back forcefully, dug two more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth to bury the bitter taste in his mouth, and he didn't know why he was so stubborn.

Ji Shuping looked at Shang Xuechen, who was swallowing rice, still calm, and he was also calm when he was forced to die, "I bought too much bitter melon, so I will eat bitter melon tonight, and tomorrow morning until the bitter melon is finished."

Shang Xuechen let go of the bowl in his hand, and the bowl was placed directly on the table, making a loud and clear sound of protest, but Ji Shuping didn't care, calmly took the chopsticks, and placed the bitter gourd in the solid bowl on the table.

"Only tonight."

Ji Shuping retracted his chopsticks, "That one won't eat the bitter gourd feast tonight."

It doesn't matter to Shang Xuechen, leave tomorrow's affairs to tomorrow's self to deal with, he has always thought so.

After finally finishing the meal, Shang Xuechen sat on the sofa in the living room and touched his belly. He took a look at the fish tank in front of him, and you are all set. , unlike me, so unlucky.After complaining, pinch some fish food and sprinkle it into the tank, and watch the two fish puff their mouths to suck the fish food.

Ji Shuping stood at the junction of the living room and the kitchen and made a phone call. Shang Xuechen held the fish food and heard him say, "Let's finalize a conservative plan and give it to the customer."

Shang Xuechen heard him say this into the phone, looked down at the goldfish sucking, and remembered Ji Shuping's words "I believe in you." Shang Xuechen squeezed the fish food in his hand into a ball and threw it away with a "boom". When I entered the fish tank, one or two drops of water splashed up, and my heart began to feel uneasy, and many words echoed in my ears, such as the phrase "I believe in you", such as the forgotten "I come to love you."

The two flapping fish tails cooperate with each other to create ripples in the water, like the regular swing of Newton's billiard balls. "Tick tock" hypnotizes the time and wakes up the innocence and sincerity of the 12-year-old.

The goldfish on the cabinet in one corner of the classroom swam back all night, and the class as a whole mourned their loss in the morning assembly.

"Teacher, it was the study committee who sprinkled a lot of fish food after school yesterday to kill them."

"I don't have a teacher. I sent my homework to the office yesterday and left without going back to the classroom."

"Teacher, he lied. He blinked three times when he spoke, and he was lying."

"How can Shang Xuechen slander his classmates!"

"Teacher, I don't."

All eyes were cast on him, bright and dazzling.

"I heard that his father is a gangster."

"No wonder the slander is so righteous."

It was the sarcasm in his eyes, the disdain in his eyes that made him lower his head, "I didn't."

No one took care of the belly-turned fish, so he waited for someone to pick him up at the school gate with the fish tank in his arms. The passing classmates pointed, "Look at him, holding a dead fish, the child of the underworld is indeed a pervert." He lowered his head , Looking at the white belly floating on the water, I just feel that it is very pitiful to pour it into the toilet.

Uncle came after dark and knelt down to touch his head. "Why don't they believe me?"

The uncle stretched out his hand to take away the fish tank he was holding in his arms. He saw that his uncle's arm was bruised again, and the bruised hand led him to the house, "Xiao Xuechen, if you want to live like a goldfish, I have a poor memory. Only when I forget easily can I live comfortably.”

When it is easy to forget the pain, it is also easy to forget the happiness. If both pain and happiness are forgotten, then love is forgotten.

"Shang Xuechen!" He heard someone calling him, the voice was familiar, and he heard it somewhere.

Goldfish can live up to 10 years.

It turned out to be the voice that said those words.

"Shang Xuechen!"

Shang Xuechen finally came to his senses, it was Ji Shuping who was calling him, and Ji Shuping came over to take the fish food from his hand, "Stop feeding, the fish will die."

"Oh." Shang Xuechen withdrew his hand, looked at the stupid fish who couldn't measure hunger, "Do you really believe that I chose the conservative plan? Internet promotion is very common now."

"Well, I believe you." Ji Shuping also sat down on the sofa, "The reputation of their products has always been good, and they have no plans to transform themselves. Today's female consumers are not blindly following before, and they have their own discrimination. Celebrity promotion will also be recognized as an advertisement at a glance. And the reason why the client’s son wants to be promoted by Internet celebrities is because he is chasing Internet celebrities, and the client does not know this news.”

Shang Xuechen heaved a sigh of relief, if it was all based on his speculation, he would not be able to bear the responsibility, "Your plan is sure."

"No." Ji Shuping knocked on the fish tank, causing the two fish to swim again, "I'm not so sure, but your words seem to give me reassurance."

When Shang Xuechen heard this sentence, he was thinking about something else. Why did they accept such psychological hints so easily for those fragments that he missed? It is obvious that there is no basis for trust between them, so they just accepted it. , seems a little unreasonable.But there are too many unreasonable places between them.

Ji Shuping is a person who keeps his promise. In the evening, there is no more bitter gourd, and the food is very rich, including bamboo fungus and quail soup, cabbage with sour cheese, stewed gizzard liver, salt-baked chicken, beef tendon mixed with fungus, and steamed short ribs with tofu.This made Shang Xuechen suspect that Ji Shuping's father was not a foreman before, but a big ladle on the construction site.

Shang Xuechen, who ate three meals of clear soup and little water, couldn’t control much, so he ate three bowls of rice in a row with a table of delicacies. His right hand was inconvenient, and he couldn’t handle chopsticks in his left hand. Fortunately, he had a good brain and found a spoon and fork , did not delay eating at all.Ji Shuping still eats the same amount of food as before, but it is more delicious than usual, mainly because the people at the same table no longer frown.

A delicious meal, full of food and drink, Shang Xuechen's original plan to play tricks lost all confidence, except for the sour cheese and cabbage that didn't take time to cook, the other dishes, Ji Shuping, also took an afternoon.Forget it, he gave so much money, everyone was raped, and he was so coy, the people who had a hole in the house were afraid of sharing the same bed, it sounded like a cold joke.

To give himself enough psychological training, Shang Xuechen took a bath and went to bed with peace of mind, turned over on the bed, saw the empty sofa next to him, and thought it was pretty good, he was used to sleeping on his side, so he didn't have to see Ji Shuping on the sofa, he was used to it It was quite uncomfortable to force myself to correct the posture for a while.Thinking about it this way, when Ji Shuping lay down next to him, he didn't feel any awkwardness, anyway, he couldn't see it from behind, which was fine, fine, fine.

It was just fine for a couple of times, after the people behind him lay down and made no sound, Shang Xuechen felt something was wrong again, exactly what was wrong, he couldn’t describe it in any words, the frequency of the air conditioner blowing the bed curtain above his head It made him feel familiar. He lay on his side and watched the bed curtain sway with the wind, and listened to the breathing of the people behind him. What appeared in his mind was the 18 forbidden pictures he didn't know when he had seen them. His body was bouncing up and down , in coordination with breathing, blending with body temperature, exchanging postures, dripping sweat.The love and greed with eyes closed, the comfortable moans with slightly raised neck, are all covered under the curtain that moves with the bed.

When had I seen such a powerful movie?Shang Xuechen couldn't remember, thinking about turning over and lying on the top of the bed, the air conditioner above the head was blowing "huh, hoh", and another noise broke into his ears, "We are lovers", "I think Hug you", "I will love you from now on", "I swear!" Accompanied by the noise, Ji Shuping's face flashed across the picture in his mind, and Shang Xuechen sat up in shock, as if this was a fragment he had forgotten .

Ji Shuping sat up and asked him what's wrong, he looked back at Ji Shuping's face in a daze, the sentence "Can you sleep in another room" was replaced by a full belch, the meal with heart tonight made him deeply understand the soft mouth of eating people, and avoid asking Sight, only said that he could not sleep.

"Then watch a movie?" Ji Shuping asked him, and he just nodded.

After setting up the projector and plugging in the stereo, the two leaned against the bedside to watch a movie.What happened was Happy Together, the colorful waterfall table lamp at the beginning of the movie, the sex/love in black and white, the solo monologue in soft Cantonese, the actors are good, the tone is good, the story is very slow, and the color is constantly switching between black and white, Shang Xuechen finally felt drowsy in the black-and-white swirling images, and woke up again in the tango music of the color images, struggling in sleepiness repeatedly, tilting his head and straining his eyelids, wanting to see the end of the story.

Ji Shuping looked at it seriously, anyway, he was serious about everything he did, and he was good at summarizing, and summarizing well.This is a lonely story in which personality differences lead to love not being on the same channel. This is very common among couples regardless of the same sex or the opposite sex.

Shang Xuechen was startled and dozed off by the sound of quarrels on the colorful screen, and raised his hazy eyes to see where the movie was going.He is very familiar with the way men quarrel. It's not that he quarreled before, but he heard it when he was a child. It's more intense than movies.Shang Xuechen didn't quite understand the movie, so he squinted his eyes and asked, "Why are they arguing?"

"Because of a communication problem."

Hearing Ji Shuping's answer, Shang Xuechen thought that this is the case. It seems that it has always been difficult for people to communicate with each other, and everyone has their own cognition.He seemed to suddenly understand the fights he had heard as a child.Then it started to become a solo monologue again. Shang Xuechen's drowsiness emerged in the monologue. The sound effect was very good. The wailing and crying from inside did not allow him to simply fall asleep. He saw the lighthouse in a blur, and asked Ji Shuping sleepily, "Has the show come to an end?"

"almost."

"Oh." Shang Xuechen tried his best to keep his eyes open, wanting to see the ending, looking at the scenery of the movie and starting to find something to talk about, otherwise he would really fall asleep, "What is the place in the movie?"

"Ushuaia."

"What's that place?"

"The end of the world. The movie says that this lighthouse used to be the South Pole. People who are broken in love like to go there and leave the unhappy things behind."

"Where is this place?"

"In Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia was his capital."

"You know so well, do you also have the unhappiness like broken love and want to stay there?"

"Ushuaia used to be a place of bitter cold, where criminals were exiled. He is famous not only for the lighthouse at the end of the world, but also for the prison at the end of the world. He was exiled there to isolate himself from the world, wash away his sins in the bitter cold, and then escaped from the island. Go back and start again. Whether it’s a lighthouse or a prison, it’s just telling you that you can say goodbye to the world when you get there, and you can start a new life when you come back.”

Ji Shuping didn't hear the answer, and turned to see Shang Xuechen falling asleep with his head hanging down. He fell asleep before the end of the movie and didn't make it to the end. He didn't know if it was because the movie was too long or the story was too slow.Ji Shuping felt that it was okay to fall asleep like this, so he reached out and put his head on his shoulders, and then sat up straight to watch the end of the movie. What appeared at the end was a lively snack alley, and the people in the movie sat lonely on the street. edge, and end.The original ending was cut. In the movie, some people left as usual, and some people cut their wrists. Probably such a story was too bloody and lacked the flavor of life, so it was cut with a single knife.Who knew that the drama in life is only worse than movies.

When Ji Shuping saw the credits on the wall, he looked down at Shang Xuechen, who was lying on his shoulders, and only saw the eyelashes with his eyes closed from the angle of his head.Ji Shuping thought it would be better if their ending wasn't like this, then he lowered his head to find Shang Xuechen's lips, and silently said good night in the soft touch, hoping that the dream would also be soft.
