lark

After calming down, Qi Yubai gave Lin Nan a slight push, motioning him to get up from him.

Lin Nan stood up blushing, and whispered, "I'm going to brush my teeth."

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Lin Nan looked at his flushed cheeks in the mirror and thought a little embarrassedly, would others do this for Qi Yubai?

Should be.No matter how comfortable Qi Yubai wanted, someone would give him that.

As for Qi Yubai, would he hold others in his arms like he did to him? Although it was very short, there was indeed a period of time when he hugged himself and did nothing, as intimate as a lover.

can you?Lin Nan didn't have an answer, and he didn't dare to look for it.The water washes away the toothpaste foam, and at the same time takes away the absurdity and indulgence just now, and washes away all delusions along the invisible channel.

When he came back after a while, Qi Yubai had already gone back to his room to change clothes.Lin Nan was indeed a little hungry. He put the porridge in the microwave for a few minutes and sat quietly at the table to drink a small bowl.

"Do you not eat every time you come to see me?" Qi Yubai's voice sounded not far away.

Lin Nan turned his head and saw that the man was standing by the cooking table looking at him.He put on a clean shirt and trousers with two buttons still unbuttoned, not as serious as in the workplace.

"Just lost weight." Lin Nan smiled.

Qi Yubai looked at him for a while, but Lin Nan couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.He said, "Actually, you don't have to."

Lin Nan thought that Qi Yubai was going to say something nasty like using another mouth.He thought, if Qi Yubai really said something indecent, and he didn't know how to deal with it, he might as well just eat porridge with his head down.He buried his head on the bowl and drank the porridge quietly as if he didn't realize anything, but there was a little smile in the corner of his eyes.

But Qi Yubai said, "If I don't look for you in the future, you don't need to see me."

Lin Nan paused with his hand holding the spoon, and the taste of the porridge in his mouth changed instantly.No aroma, no delicious taste, only astringent, slightly bitter.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Yubai added: "This way you can save yourself a few meals." His tone sounded like he was saying: I'm kind, you better understand.

Lin Nan shuddered silently from the depths of his heart, his eyes were still fixed on the bowl, and he kept stirring with a spoon in his right hand to hide his panic.

"The director said that I look a little fat on camera, so it doesn't matter if I eat less."

He felt as if he was actively asking to sleep with Qi Yubai, and he dared not look at that person no matter what.He hoped that Qi Yubai would end this topic after listening to this sentence, and stop saying words like "I won't look for you" and "I won't see me" to him.In fact, it did as Lin Nan wished. Qi Yubai just stood there silently for a while, wondering if he was looking at Lin Nan's stubborn appearance, and said after a while, "I'll take you home after eating."

Lin Nan ate this meal much more slowly than before, chewing slowly every time, and his appetite seemed to improve all of a sudden. After eating one bowl, he added another bowl, and drank the last bit of porridge in the pot. into the stomach.Later, he carefully cleaned up the kitchen, washed the used tableware, and put everything back in its original place.

The bowls were originally taken out of the disinfection cabinet.Lin Nan thought for a while, then went out and asked Qi Yubai, "Should the tableware be disinfected now?"

Qi Yubai was sitting on the sofa watching his laptop, when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "I've never used it, if you know how to use it, you can sterilize it now."

"Yeah." Lin Nan nodded, "Then you may have to wait a while until the virus is fully disinfected before you can leave."

The disinfection cabinet, which runs and stops automatically, no longer needs to be watched by anyone to work. Qi Yubai, who has hardly been in the kitchen, didn't find anything wrong with Lin Nan's words, so he nodded to signal him to take care of himself.

Lin Nan walked back to the kitchen and put all the tableware into the disinfection cabinet, tapped the screen a few times and had nothing to do.He felt that he was a little mean, selfishly occupying Qi Yubai's precious time, and there was nothing he could do about himself.

Qi Yubai didn't come to urge him again. When Lin Nan finally walked out of the kitchen, the man had already turned off his laptop and was talking on the phone on the sofa in the living room.

He first glanced at Lin Nan, then said to the phone, "I should be there at three o'clock," and then glanced at his watch, "It should be fine, you guys start on time."

After hanging up the phone, he got up and looked at Lin Nan, "Can I go?"

Qi Yubai was already dressed in a suit, with a tie resting on the armrest of the sofa.Lin Nan tacitly agreed that helping him tie his tie was his exclusive job, so he walked over and consciously picked up his tie to help him fasten it. He tilted his head and straightened his shirt collar while saying, "I'll take a taxi back by myself, Mr. Qi, if you have something to do, you can do it." Busy first."

The phone call just now woke him up.Lin Nan felt that he should be more sensible and not cause more trouble to Qi Yubai.

After listening to his words, Qi Yubai seemed to think about it, and then said: "That's fine."

The two went downstairs together with their good things. Qi Yubai casually glanced at the floor count on the screen while standing at the door waiting for the elevator, and asked, "Is there anything you want, I'll buy it for you."

It sounds like a kind of compensation that I thought of casually. I don't know if it is compensation for Lin Nan's sore knees or the lunch made for him.

"No need." Lin Nan shook his head, "I don't want anything, and I have enough troubles for Mr. Qi."

In Lin Nan's heart, Qi Yubai had already given himself too much.A hug between two people, a kiss on the body when Qi Yubai is emotionally moved, and the occasional eager eyes looking at him, these are the unexpected joys in his life, far more precious than material things.

But Qi Yubai didn't think so.He has approached several people before, and the rare moment of tenderness is the best time for the other party to speak, as long as it is not too much, Qi Yubai will usually agree.Some people want an important role in a certain director's next masterpiece, some people want a new sports car, and some people want an apartment. They set a price for themselves in their hearts, and wait for Qi Yubai to weigh it before buying it.

"I'm not used to you like this." Qi Yubai straightened his sleeves, "I don't want anything, is it necessary to follow me?"

They each take what they need, and if one side doesn't take what it needs, the relationship ceases to exist.

Lin Nan also understood the truth.He didn't have the guts to talk to Qi Yubai about love, but he had to talk about money with him. The relationship between the two drifted between the most mundane and the purest extremes, and it was up to others to interpret it.

"Then Mr. Qi will decide."

The temperature outside is much cooler than inside, even the elevator lobby is cold enough.Lin Nan smiled and put his hands into the pockets of his coat, "Just give me a gift."

A relationship that is uncertain until the end, if it can leave something behind, it will not be considered as non-existent.

Qi Yubai glanced at his coat, thought for a while and said, "Okay."

Lin Nan thought that Qi Yubai would go straight out of the garage and drive, but he didn't know that the other party had no such intentions, so he walked all the way to the door with him.Fortunately, Qi Yubai led the way, otherwise it would be really difficult for Lin Nan to find the right way to walk back to the gate of the community.

The taxi stopped in front of Lin Nan, and Lin Nan turned to Qi Yubai who was standing behind him and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Qi."

Qi Yubai didn't speak, just nodded to him to indicate that he could get in the car.

-

Qi Yubai hasn't lived in Bohai Apartment for a long time.He is still dissatisfied even if there are housekeepers who come to clean the house on a regular basis and even help prepare flowers.

He didn't like living in Bohai very much, thinking it was a bad omen.

After sending Lin Nan away, Qi Yubai stood in front of the gate of the community and waited for nearly 10 minutes, the cold wind blowing away the heat all over his body.He began to regret letting Lin Nan take a taxi home, because if he drove him himself, he wouldn't have to freeze outside for such a long time.

When the car that picked him up arrived, Zhang Hong looked at Qi Yubai's white ears when he got out of the car and opened the door, and said apologetically, "Boss Qi, did you wait for a long time?"

"No." Qi Yubai said not too concerned, "I called you here temporarily."

He was sitting where Lin Nan would usually sit. As soon as he closed the door, he saw a gray scarf on the floor mat of the back seat. He picked it up and asked, "Whose is this?"

Zhang Hong glanced back quickly: "It belongs to Mr. Lin. I saw him walking around in the morning, so he probably dropped it accidentally."

The floor mat wasn't dirty, but since it fell on it, the scarf must still be dusty.Qi Yubai threw the scarf on the back seat and didn't intend to ignore it, but after a while, he remembered that he had seen Lin Nanwei once or twice, maybe it was something he cherished very much.

"You send me to dry cleaning."

"Huh?" Zhang Hong asked unexpectedly while driving the car, "Scarf?"

"Yeah." Qi Yubai turned his head to look at this cheap and ordinary scarf again, "Bring it back to me after washing."

"I see." Zhang Hong looked at Qi Yubai's expression from the rearview mirror, and felt that today is the right time to talk about something.

"boss."

Zhang Hong called Qi Yubai the boss not because he was unfamiliar, but because the relationship between the two was different from others.

Qi Yubai smiled in the back row, "Is there anything you can ask me for?"

"Tomorrow's three-day business trip, can Secretary Qin go instead? I have to send Mr. Lin back to the set."

Tomorrow, Zhang Hong's son's school will hold a parent-child activity. Last time he didn't go to become a son, he cried all night, arguing that he should never be such a stinky father again.

Qi Yubai was amused by his obvious excuse, and said, "If you don't want to go on a business trip, you can find a better excuse. Are you not afraid that I will send Lin Nan back?"

"You won't." Zhang Hong said in a confident tone, the steering wheel in his hand was not frightened by Qi Yubai's words at all, and turned to the right smoothly.

"Why not?"

"I drive long distances more safely than others."

Qi Yubai was choked by his words, and said with a relaxed expression: "I forgot to give you an extra driver's fee."

The two talked to each other to pass the boring time on the road, and somehow the topic slowly turned to Lin Nan.

Zhang Hong reported to Qi Yubai as usual: "I talked to the producer yesterday, he will go to the director, and there will be no more problems with publicity in the future."

"En." Qi Yubai knew that he was capable of handling things, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"The assistant and the nanny car have also been ordered."

"Ah."

"Is there anything else that needs to be done for Mr. Lin? I happen to take care of everything tomorrow."

I don't know if there was some scraping accident at the intersection ahead, and the traffic lights were blocked in both directions, so the car had to stop and wait in place.

Qi Yubai was caught by his question, and thought for a while to answer the wrong question: "Zhang Hong, if a person obviously can ask for something, but doesn't ask you, what do you think he means?"

Zhang Hong understood seven or eight points as soon as he heard it, held the steering wheel for a moment, and said, "Is it possible that he hasn't thought of what he wants yet?"

There is some truth to this, Qi Yubai thought, Lin Nan's living conditions are obviously not good, and his career is also struggling, probably after meeting him, he didn't know where to improve for a while, so he simply maintained the status quo.

"There is another possibility." Zhang Hong paused, "What he wants is beyond what the other party can give, and it's useless to say it."

Is there anything you can't afford?Qi Yubai didn't think of it for the time being.But he saw that Lin Nan's slender appearance did not look like a person who could speak like a lion, so he didn't answer Zhang Hong's words for a while.

The car just turned off and stopped in the middle of the road, and the two of them could do nothing but wait.

Qi Yubai glanced at the crowded parking lot-like road outside the window, knowing that it would be late at three o'clock.He flipped through the mailbox, and said a little irritably: "Sure enough, you shouldn't go to Bohai Apartment."

Zhang Hong's hand was still holding the steering wheel, but now he let it go, and he said after a while: "It's just a coincidence, you don't have to worry about it."

"Really." Qi Yubai's whole body was warmed up by the heater in the car, and he stretched out his hand to loosen his tie, "Maybe."

This apartment was bought the year before last, and it was already in a state of renovation.Qi Yubai had some unhappiness with his family, and quickly moved from the old house to Bohai.It didn't take long for things to happen one after another. He took it for granted that the house was not good. Without this house, Qi Yubai might not be the Qi Yubai he is now.Fortunately, life is not a TV series, there is not so much hysteria and betrayal, and life can be lived no matter what.The house was not sold, so Qi Yubai would still be Qi Yubai, no matter what he became.
