lark

The meal was enjoyable, mainly because Lin Nan was in a good mood.At the end of the bill, it was not as expensive as he had imagined. The wine was stored here by Qi Yubai, so it was not included in the bill.

When he got down to B2, Lin Nan was just about to get out of the elevator when he suddenly remembered what Wei Jing had told him, so he stopped and looked for a mask from his bag.Qi Yubai had already walked outside the automatic door, but realized that Lin Nan hadn't followed, so he turned around to look for him, just in time to see him about to wear a mask.

"Wait for me." Lin Nandai said.

Qi Yubai didn't speak, and observed for a while two steps away, then turned around and walked to Lin Nan, took off his coat and put it on him.

"It's cold outside."

The automatic door opened and closed after sensing Qi Yubai, and the cold air from the empty parking lot entered here.The overcoat still had Qi Yubai's body temperature on it. Lin Nan was taken aback for a moment. The mask was crooked and he hadn't had time to tidy it up. He stared at Qi Yubai who was putting on the overcoat with his lips slightly parted, and said, "Mr. Qi... ..."

Qi Yubai could only see his bright eyes, and reached into his coat pocket to take out the car keys, "I'll go drive first, you can come out later."

Occasionally, someone would pass by the parking lot, and the elevator behind him closed the door again with a soft sound, and went up to pick up people.Lin Nan disagreed, took his arm and said, "It's okay, I'll go with you."

In fact, he felt a little guilty when he said this, but he didn't want Qi Yubai to drive the car over like his own driver.

Qi Yubai gave Lin Nan his coat, and he put on a thin suit, took his hands off his forearms and said, "It's better to be cautious and be obedient."

This time Lin Nan didn't insist anymore.He touched his oversized coat, looked at Qi Yubai's leaving back, and suddenly felt the slight change in their identities.When the two met, Qi Yubai also gave him his coat to wear. At that time, it was an absolute protective gesture, and even put his arms around his shoulders.Today's actions are more like caring, and the feeling of protecting him has faded.

Of course he was happy that Qi Yubai was willing to think about him like this, at least it showed that he was cared about.But such a change also made him uneasy. Their way of getting along was slowly changing. He couldn't figure out what Qi Yubai was thinking, whether he was satisfied or not.Is it because he has become more famous than before, and he is no longer the Lin Nan who can only obey Qi Yubai's words, Qi Yubai will not be so happy?This kind of thinking is very strange, even a bit despicable, but Lin Nan just can't help thinking like this.

It's like this dinner, it was impossible for Lin Nan to pay for it before, he couldn't afford it.But today is different from the past, his living conditions are much better, and his younger brother Qin Peng has a way out for the time being, so he also wants to treat Qi Yubai as well as possible, as a repayment, and also wants to feel equal.But whether Qi Yubai thought the same way, he didn't know.Having lived as a giver for so long, it is very possible that Qi Yubai might not be able to get used to Lin Nan who no longer needs his sympathy and money.

Lin Nan was a little flustered. He wasn't sure if he should talk to Qi Yubai and tell him that no matter how he changed, his love for Qi Yubai was still the same, and that his heart belonged to that person completely, just like before. There is no difference.

Before he could figure it out, a horn sounded outside, and the car arrived.Lin Nan gathered the warm and thick coat on his body, pulled up the mask tightly, and got into the car with his head down.

The car drove out of the parking lot, drove on the ring road for nearly half an hour, and then drove to the destination at the high speed.Qi Yubai didn't speak much along the way, as if he was thinking about something.Lin Nan also had some work matters to deal with. He answered two or three calls while sitting in the co-pilot, and replied to many WeChat messages.

When passing the supermarket that Lin Nan had been to, Qi Yubai suddenly said, "Someone is following us."

"What?" Lin Nan held the phone in his hand, still a little bit unresponsive.

Qi Yubai glanced at the rearview mirror again, "There is a car that has been on the same road with us, it may be a paparazzi." He has observed the whole way, but he did not tell Lin Nan.

Lin Nan turned his head and looked back in an instant, and found that there was a Volkswagen driving at a constant speed with their car about ten meters behind the car, and there was nothing wrong with it from the outside."Could it be a coincidence?" he asked.

"Maybe." Qi Yubai said, "I'll go around a bit longer."

"Okay, okay..." Lin Nan asked for help in his eyes, "Should we be able to get rid of it?"

Qi Yubai hummed, glanced at him and said, "Put on the mask."

They were all tired today, especially Qi Yubai.The endless schedule has exhausted him, and today he quarreled with two directors in the Benyun Building because of the implementation of the new project.Calling Lin Nan out for dinner was originally to relax, but he didn't expect to meet a follower.

He drove the car around the road outside the community for a long time, leaned outside the west gate for a while, and then turned back. Finally, the car behind him did not appear again.Lin Nan was very disturbed, and kept looking back at the back of the car and then at Qi Yubai from time to time, his expression hesitant to speak.

Qi Yubai said: "I'll talk about what I want to say later, now is not a good time to talk."

Lin Nan hesitated and nodded, feeling stuffy after wearing the mask for a long time, so he pulled it down to expose his nose.

It's a pity that they couldn't find a chance to have a good chat after they got home.Lin Nan is about to join the group soon. The costume drama that passed the interview last time already has a name, it is called Yanlai Pavilion, and it will start in half a month.As soon as he got home, his agent called to inform him of the script reading time.

Interrupted by the phone call, Lin Nan's energy fell on the script again.He borrowed the study room from Qi Yubai, checked his mailbox with his laptop, and made sure that he had received the revised version that Wei Jing said.

It took more than an hour to watch it, and he was very devoted to work as soon as he started working. He was fascinated by the fictional world of the script.When he went out of the room again, Qi Yubai had disappeared, and the apartment was quiet.

"Mr. Qi?"

He stood in the living room and yelled, but no one answered.There was no one in the bedroom, and even the coat was gone. There was a half-drunk cup of coffee on the marble counter in the kitchen. Lin Nan probed the wall of the cup with his fingers, and it was no longer warm.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Qi Yubai drank half a cup of coffee by himself at home, and then went out, not knowing where he went.Lin Nan quickly ran back to the room, took out his mobile phone and dialed out. The phone rang a few times, and Qi Yubai's voice came from the other end.

"Lin Nan, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Qi, are you out?" Lin Nan asked.His voice was a little anxious, with a panic of not knowing where Qi Yubai was.

"I left my passport at the company, drive back and get it." Qi Yubai said in a calm voice.

"Why didn't you tell me when you went out?"

Qi Yubai smiled on the other end of the phone, "You're not a child, are you still scared when you're alone at home?"

"No..." Lin Nan walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa with his mobile phone in his hand, looked at the dark sky outside, and whispered, "I won't see you, you will be worried."

"worry about what?"

When Qi Yubai stayed in this house, Lin Nan felt at ease in everything he did.Once Qi Yubai is not around, Lin Nan's heart is always hanging, he is too insecure.

"I'm worried that you won't come back tonight..." Lin Nan said.

Qi Yubai was quiet for two seconds, and said to him, "I'll go back soon, but I have to go abroad tomorrow."

Lin Nan asked, "Why are you so busy recently?"

"Recently there are more foreign projects." Qi Yubai said, "It will inevitably be a little busy."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yubai turned off his phone.

Just one second before Lin Nan called him, he had just ended the call with Bai Shaorong.Qi Yubai finally turned down that dinner, using the excuse of going abroad.

He remembered that he had promised Lin Nan after the last quarrel with Lin Nan that he was the only one with him.He decided to keep his promise and not allow himself to become heinous.

If Lin Nan knew that he had met someone else behind his back, even if he was a woman, he would be so sad that he would cry, that would be too troublesome.He always has nothing to do with Lin Nan's tears. In order to make Lin Nan happier, he is willing to make changes and keep his promise.

For the time being, there is no other way to go, so I can only procrastinate like this, and it will be a day if I can procrastinate.

But the situation often comes faster than imagined, and God has his own rules.When Qi Yubai was abroad, Lin Nan was also busy at work, and the two would make a phone call every day, just like ordinary couples.Four days later, Qi Yubai was going back to China, Lin Nan deliberately finished work early, went back to Bohai to order fresh vegetables and meat, and waited for Qi Yubai to have dinner together.

As soon as the plane landed, Qi Yubai received a long-lost call.

It was his father calling.Qi's father hadn't called Qi Yubai on his own initiative for a long time, so this call made Qi Yubai stop in the airport hall and find a corner where no one was around to answer the call.

"Dad." Qi Yubai called him first.

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and a sentence came: "You still have the guts to call me." The voice was very cold, with a feeling of contempt for him.

Qi Yubai suddenly felt that it was true, and asked, "What did I do?"

"Where are you now?" Qi Zhonghui spoke without getting angry, and Qi Yubai even learned the tone of his subordinates from his father.

"I'm at the airport, just returned home."

"Don't go back to your apartment, come directly to the old house, I will wait for you at home."

Qi Yubai stood upright beside the floor-to-ceiling glass, outside were the airport shuttle bus, bus, and people in a hurry.He let go of the suitcase lever in his hand, subconsciously touched the cigarette on his body, and then remembered that he had thrown away the lighter during the security check.

"What happened?" he asked.

"You do a good job, you know it in your heart."

Qi Zhonghui is like a most traditional father, speaking to his son who has done something wrong is just a reprimand for no reason, there is no need for Qi Yubai to think of a way to refute.Qi Yubai could only say: "Okay, I'll go back soon."

Zhang Hong came to pick him up today. When he saw him in the parking lot, he greeted him. He helped him put his suitcase away and opened the door. He waited for him to sit firmly before starting the car.

Zhang Hong looked at his watch: "It's not a good time now. The airport expressway was very congested when I came here. I guess it won't be much better now. Boss, would you like to call Lin Nan and tell him not to leave?" Then wait eagerly."

His tone was very relaxed, thinking that his boss was the same as him, maybe he would even joke with him.In the end, Qi Yubai said, "I don't want to go back to Bohai, go to the old house, and drive faster."

"Old house?" Zhang Hong frowned and looked at Qi Yubai, "Now?"

"Yes, now." Qi Yubai unlocked the phone and wanted to make a call. He stared at the 17:24 on the screen for a while, and finally changed it to the edited text, "I can't go back if I have something to do. You can eat by yourself, no need wait for me."

After sending this message, he threw the phone on the seat, closed his eyes and sat quietly, and didn't look at the phone until he arrived at the old house.
