lark

Lin Nan got out of the car in a daze, with heavy sandbags on his feet, and walked out of the clubhouse with heavy steps.

Cheers and applause came from the direction of the venue behind, and the volume could not be stopped through several doors.But the road outside the clubhouse was very quiet, with almost no vehicles passing by.

He stood at the door and took a taxi for a while, but no one took the order, so he took a deep breath and walked forward in a daze.Not sure where to go to find a taxi, just walking forward aimlessly, dragging his steps slowly, the pain in his body radiated into the cold wind little by little, taking away the pitifully small amount of warmth.

But until his whole body was frozen cold, he still felt the infinite pain accumulated in his heart, as if it couldn't be dissipated no matter what, it was unbearable.

People's liking can be very long, but getting along may be very short, just like him and Qi Yubai.Not only did this relationship stop there, but it was somewhat embarrassing to stop in such an unpleasant situation.

This was something Lin Nan had never imagined.He thought that even if Qi Yubai didn't want him anymore, it would happen peacefully and quietly.It's like disposing of an old bed sheet, you can put it aside or throw it in the trash, there is no need to shred it with scissors.Unexpectedly, Qi Yubai regarded him as a worn-out teacup, throwing it away was not enough, and he had to drop it to keep others from picking it up.

After walking a few hundred meters further, a bus stop appeared in front of us.

Lin Nan felt that the weight of his body was too heavy, and he couldn't walk any further, so he slowly squatted down in front of the billboard, holding himself tightly with both arms, his teeth trembling with cold.

A bus came speeding up from a distance and slammed on the brakes in front of him.

"I can't get on—" the driver yelled impatiently behind the partition glass.

Lin Nan squatted on the spot, shaking his head wearily.The door of the bus closed again hastily, and walked away as if he thought he was wasting time.

Even if someone from Xingying came over now, it would be difficult to recognize Lin Nan who was squatting on the ground at a glance.He lowered his head, as if separating himself from the world, and ignored everything around him.

It was only at this moment that Lin Nan realized clearly how much he hated Qi Yubai again.He saved himself, hugged himself, scorched himself like a fire, gave him light, gave him warmth, even though he also gave him pain.

Why on earth would you say that?Obviously it can be explained well, Lin Nan hammered his head.He was just so worthless, and he completely regretted it before walking a kilometer away.She only regrets that she couldn't travel back to mend the relationship with Qi Yubai and stop the conversation that hurt each other.

After a long time, there was the sound of a car approaching again, and it stopped beside him.Lin Nan raised his head from his knees and wanted to tell the driver that he would not sit, but looked forward with blurred eyes, but stayed where he was.

The driver's window was lowered, and a man's voice came from overhead: "You left your coat on the car."

Lin Nan rubbed his face on his trousers and stood up, his legs were a little numb.He knew that he must be very ugly now, probably his face was all stained.

I thought Qi Yubai would give it to him, but the man didn't move, he just watched him without saying a word, his bony fingers tapped unconsciously on the steering wheel, like a silent urging.The coat was on the passenger seat. He summoned up the courage to open the door and took the coat in his hand, but he couldn't bear to close the door in front of him anymore.

The car stayed on, crawling and panting like an impatient horse.Lin Nan held the door of the car, looked at Qi Yubai's faint eyebrows and sideways, and said, "Can you give me another ride?"

Qi Yubai was silent for a while, looked into the distance and said, "Get in the car."

This journey was depressing and dull at first, and the two of them seemed to be competing with each other, neither of them willing to admit defeat.Street lights passed by one pole after another, street signs passed one after another, and both of them felt physically and mentally exhausted in the dark night.

Qi Yubai looked at the expression on his face that didn't calm down for a while, and finally said: "Put on the coat first if you feel cold, and then take it off when it's hot. Do you want me to teach you this?"

He is just like the one who sent Lin Nan back the scarf before, he never said what he meant, and what he said hurt already and hurt others.

The coat stays in the car for a long time, and it still carries the warmth of the car.Lin Nan definitely didn't do it on purpose this time, but it was God's will that they still had a chance to stay in the same space again.

All the past is still vivid in his memory, Lin Nan felt sore, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Qi Yubai glanced at Lin Nan, said nothing, but stopped at the side of the road and got out of the car.He closed the car door smoothly, obviously not wanting Lin Nan to come out.Lin Nan waited quietly in the car for a few minutes, and when he came back, Qi Yubai's body smelled faintly of tobacco.

Before the car had time to start, Lin Nan slowly grabbed Qi Yubai's hand on the steering wheel and said softly, "I can explain, will you listen?"

Qi Yubai's fingers stiffened for a moment, "Explain what?"

"Explain my relationship with Qi Jiawen. No... Actually, we don't have any special relationship, and I also... I never had anything to do with him."

The car was parked under a street lamp, and the dim light shone on their faces.Qi Yubai turned to look at him, the coldness of his facial features dissipated a little, "You didn't lie to me?"

"No."

Qi Yubai paused, "What about the stairwell? Did you kiss?"

"How is it possible!" Lin Nan grabbed his hand, "I...I followed you wholeheartedly...Why do you ask that?"

Qi Yubai's eyes stayed on Lin Nan's face for a while, "I saw him coming out of the stairwell that day."

"What?" Lin Nan was startled, "I don't know... I was drunk that day." He said in a dull voice, "But I remember very clearly, I only kissed you." Waiting for Qi Yubai to look at him After taking a look, he said again: "So it's probably just a coincidence that Qi Jiawen appeared there."

"Maybe." Qi Yubai said, "I will figure it out, but I believe you dare not lie to me."

"I won't lie to you." Lin Nan's fingers tightened, his eyes never leaving Qi Yubai's face for a moment.He thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "So that day... I drank too much nonsense, did you hear it all?"

"No." Qi Yubai looked uncomfortable, shook his head and said, "You just said that you accepted your wish." He raised his eyebrows: "Probably the main content is that Qi Jiawen heard it."

"It turned out to be like this." Lin Nan was thankful and disappointed, "It's okay if you didn't hear it, I was reciting the lines." After a pause, he said, "So you never called me..."

"What's your name?"

"Nothing." Lin Nan smiled.

A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity. It is impossible for Lin Nan to say those words to Qi Yubai again.

Not long ago, the two hurt each other with words like sharp knives, and at the same time they felt extremely sorry.The air in the carriage was a little still because of embarrassment. Qi Yubai rubbed his fingers unconsciously on the steering wheel a few times, and finally pulled it out of Lin Nan's hand. Instead, he pressed his five slender fingers under his hands, and whispered : "I've been in a bad mood recently, and I talked too much tonight."

It was the closest he could come to saying sorry.Lin Nan suddenly remembered those conversations in the parking lot, and then lowered his eyelashes and said, "Me too." After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Qi Yubai was at a loss for words for a while, and said for a while, "Don't talk about this. Get out of here first, there are people coming here at any time."

Lin Nan looked at his face for a while, hummed lightly, turned around and put on his seat belt.

The car that had carried Lin Nan back and forth between City Y and the film and television base several times was now speeding in the dark.Lin Nan was happy for a while because of the restoration of the relationship between the two, but suddenly remembered about Duan Ran, and his heart sank.

He turned his head to look at Qi Yubai several times, Qi Yubai stared at the road ahead and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Is it because of Duan Ran that you are in a bad mood?" Because Duan Ran made him angry, that's why he was so angry.

"What does it have to do with him?"

"I saw him in the parking lot. Is it because he refuses to accompany you?"

"Huh?" Qi Yubai said indifferently, "No. I didn't let him accompany me and drove him away."

"Drive him away?" Hearing this, Lin Nan felt relieved, and asked with suppressed joy, "What's going on?"

Qi Yubai turned his head and glanced at Lin Nan before focusing on the way forward again, "He wants me to invest in his new movie. He has been pestering me for the past few days, and today he asked me to take him home." His tone was like Describe today's dinner.

He shook his head slightly, "I asked Liu Ming to borrow a driver to take him off, but he wasn't satisfied, so he came here to argue with me."

"Huh?" Lin Nan said doubtfully, "But I clearly heard..."

"Hear what?"

Lin Nan said embarrassedly: "You promised to take him home. I'm sorry I accidentally heard you talking..."

With a faint smile on the corner of Qi Yubai's mouth, he said, "You followed us all the way, and you said you were not careful?"

"I..." Lin Nan couldn't refute, and turned his head in a murmur.

Qi Yubai didn't continue to explain the matter between him and Duan Ran, it seemed that it was not worth mentioning to him.Lin Nan saw that he was concentrating on driving, so it was inconvenient to disturb him, but he still had a few most important words in his heart. After the car got off the expressway, he finally asked, "Can I continue to follow Mr. Qi?"

Qi Yubai paused, and hummed without looking sideways.

"I have one more request." Lin Nan said carefully.

"tell me the story."

"Can Mr. Qi not look for others when we are together?"

Lin Nan wanted to say this a long time ago.Even if it is an unequal nurturing relationship, he can't bear Qi Yubai having the same thing happen to others at the same time, this is his bottom line.But he didn't know whether Qi Yubai was willing, so he was very worried.It's not that Lin Nan's nerves are fragile, but their relationship is fragile.Any untimely word has the potential to shatter everything that exists, and it will be difficult to repair it.

After he finished speaking, he stared nervously at Qi Yubai's expression, and Qi Yubai was expressionless and silent for a moment, with a look of helplessness, "Am I as dissatisfied as you imagined? It's not enough to find you."

"..." Lin Nan's voice froze, feeling that Qi Yubai had really missed the point, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I'm... just..."

"That's what."

"I just don't want you to find someone else." Lin Nan said with downcast eyes.

Qi Yubai paused, and took a good look at Lin Nan, "I don't have the habit of multi-threading, and you alone are enough to give me a headache."

"Me?" Lin Nan approached him, "What's wrong with me."

He breathed across Qi Yubai's face, and the faint smell of tobacco lingered in his nose.The man turned his head uncomfortably, "Stay away from me, I'm driving."

"Okay." Lin Nan sat upright obediently, looked at the road sign ahead and gasped, "Where are we going?"

This road didn't seem to be the way back to the city, and he was worried that Qi Yubai would go in the wrong direction because of his interference.

"Go to the movies." Qi Yubai said without changing his expression.

"...Watching a movie?" Lin Nan asked in surprise, "Is there a movie theater near here? Is there still a movie at this late hour?"

Qi Yubai's words were stingy, "Night show."

Lin Nan didn't expect Qi Yubai to take him to a night movie.Tonight, sad and painful and happy and joyful at the same time, the emotions are like a roller coaster.He sat in his seat honestly and looked forward to it, and couldn't help asking: "What movie are we watching?"

Qi Yubai said: "There is no choice, you will know when you go."
