lark

Lin Nan spent the past two months in the crew very peacefully, and there was nothing wrong with it except that the work was too intensive.

He hadn't experienced this kind of feeling of peace of mind for a long time. He stopped thinking about someone all the time, and his mood fluctuated a lot.It's not intentional, it's natural.

Because thinking of Qi Yubai would cause him insomnia, his heart would be like an amusement park cleared of scenes, enjoying the excitement and fun throughout the day, and at night, when the door is closed, all the dolls, gifts, and candies are hidden into the darkness And he is the forgotten tourist, wandering around and unable to find the exit.This feeling is very bad, and I will be afraid after experiencing it a few times, so Lin Nan forced himself not to think about Qi Yubai anymore.As long as you start to miss, find a way to divert your attention, listening to songs, watching movies, calling home, or eating a biscuit, it will always work after a long time.

After this week, he can go back to City Y to rest for two days, just to catch his breath.In fact, spring is the most suitable season for costume dramas. The thick costumes are warm and elegant, and the makeup is also heavy. It can cover the outside but also cover the inside.

Who knows who leaked the news, Qi Jiawen found out about the rare vacation, and a phone call came.

"Mr. Lin, do you have time to show off tomorrow? I'll be the host." Qi Jiawen put on a teasing tone, and recently sent messages to Lin Nan and always used the word "teacher" to tease him.

"Tomorrow?" He sat on the folding chair and thought for a while, "Not tomorrow, I have something to do."

The silk and white jacquard satin short boots under her feet looked beautiful, but in fact the soles of the shoes were full of mud, and the hem of the robe naturally couldn't let go of it for a moment.If it falls on the loose soil and wet mud and gets dirty, it's a trivial matter to wear awkwardly, the important thing is not to continue the show.

He rolled up the hem of his robe in one hand, and held the phone in the other, Qi Jiawen's complaints rang in his ears.

"What's the matter, it's rare for you to go back to City Y and you can't make an appointment for dinner? We haven't seen each other for more than a month."

The hem of the robe was picked up and there were long tassels around the waist. Lin Nan held it in his hands together: "We don't have to meet every month, do we?"

He Shan came over with the food and shouted, "Dinner is ready." Seeing that he was on the phone, she sat next to him and opened the lunch boxes one by one, tearing the plastic lid with a rattling sound.

The steaming three boxes of vegetables and two small boxes of rice smell tempting, and the steam condenses into water droplets and gathers on the inner lid, which makes people's index fingers move.

"Is it He Shan, asking you to eat? Is she thin or not? You should eat more, so that she can get enough." Qi Jiawen said.

Lin Nan smiled and turned his head, holding up the phone to provoke trouble: "Jiawen asked me if you lost weight."

"He's going to die!" He Shan purposely shouted into the microphone.

"Hey—" Qi Jiawen dragged his voice on the other end of the phone, "You've learned too well."

People with packed lunches shuttled back and forth, the crew was busy building tables and laying tracks, the lighting engineer was squatting in his van with food, and the table next to him was eating while chatting about their last play, which was well broadcasted. A few words of congratulations from everyone, and a few words of encouragement from the poor audience, the set is like a busy little world.

"Then I'll go eat first, and we'll talk another day."

Lin Nan was about to hang up, when he heard Qi Jiawen yelling "Hey!", "Don't hang up yet, we haven't finished discussing yet, why are you in a hurry."

He snapped his fingers: "I have something, I just said it."

"I know, but you can't be busy for two days..."

"It's really something."

Lin Nan had indeed already made arrangements. The day before, he planned to check on the Internet how the car that Qi Yubai gave him could be sold as soon as possible. The next day he needed to move, and he had already asked He Shan to find a house, not far from the airport.

"What's the matter? I'll be busy for two days? Tell me."

Qi Jiawen had inquired with He Shan a long time ago. Lin Nan didn't have any arrangements for the past two days, and if he had something to do, it could only be a purely personal matter. He didn't believe that this person wouldn't even give him an hour or two.

He Shan pushed the food towards Lin Nan, motioning him to chat while eating.Lin Nan took the chopsticks and gently broke the phone between the chopsticks, then scraped the wooden thorns, and began to eat in a gentle manner.

He picked up a small ball of rice and brought it to his mouth, chewed it quietly a few times and swallowed it, Qi Jiawen didn't urge him.

"Have you ever sold a car?" he asked.

"Sell a car?" Qi Jiawen said, "What kind of car, a nanny's private car? There is no nanny's car, but I have sold my second-hand car."

Today's dishes were a bit greasy, Lin Nan didn't put his chopsticks on the meat and vegetables, but picked some green vegetables and ate some. After hearing Qi Jiawen's words, he pulled the chopsticks out from between his lips little by little, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "It's my own." car."

"But it's very new, basically never opened. Do you know any organization or website that can sell it in the fastest time? It's best...it's better not to discount too much."

"Very new? Then why are you selling it, don't you like it?"

Lin Nan paused: "Yes."

"You're wrong. What's wrong with saving some money? Investment and financial management are fine too. Don't follow the fashion in terms of cars. Brother is someone who has experienced it. There is no end to the pursuit of this thing."

Lin Nan was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Do you know, or not, that I'm dead?"

"I know." Qi Jiawen, who was on the other side of the phone, knew that he must be smiling when he heard the voice, as if the more rude Lin Nan talked to him, the happier he would be.

"What brand of car are you selling?"

"Mercedes." After he finished speaking, he glanced at He Shan beside him, and saw that the other party was indeed looking at him.

Qi Jiawen said leisurely: "It's a trivial matter. I have a hair boy who runs a 4S store. I'll take you to him tomorrow, and I'll let you sell it at a good price, and the commission is still small."

Lin Nan really didn't know anything about this.He usually only knows about filming, and he has no chance to practice after he got his driver's license. Naturally, he has never been in contact with used car trading websites and 4S stores.Hearing what Qi Jiawen said, he was anxious to cash in the car again, so he simply agreed.

Owing a small favor to Qi Jiawen and alms to that person, he can only accept the former now.

"Okay. See you at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I'll send you the address later. Can you..."

"Can you do something?" Qi Jiawen asked expectantly.

"Can you help me drive the car over there? I haven't had my book for a long time, and my skills are not good."

He Shan laughed out loud, almost ruining the food in her mouth, and Qi Jiawen laughed too.

Lin Nan's face was a little hot, and he said in a stern voice: "If it doesn't work, forget it, I will drive it myself."

"All right, all right!" Qi Jiawen said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with that, I'll look for you tomorrow!"

-

At the same time, City Y, Carlton West.

Qi Yubai and Fang Qiran appeared here together, but they didn't go upstairs, they just had a meal in the western restaurant.

The two picked a small square table facing the street, and sat face to face. It was Fang Qiran who insisted.

"I like to sit by the glass, bright."

She put away her handbag, stroked a skirt behind her with her right hand, and crossed her hands in front of her chin as soon as she sat down, "Look at what to eat, I'll pay for it today."

It was time for dinner on Friday, and there were quite a lot of people in the hall, almost full.Qi Yubai was not used to sitting in public places, and his expression was a little displeased.

"Why do I have to agree to sit outside when you pay the bill?"

"I'm thinking for you, okay?" Fang Qiran said, "If we are alone in the same room, unfortunately, your sweetheart finds out, and you can't tell how many mouths you have."

Qi Yubai simply calmed down and ignored her teasing.

The meal was served slowly, and the two of them didn't talk too much. Coming out today was just a routine, to gag the mouths of the elders on both sides.

"Boss Qi!"

A person came in at the porch door, led by the waiter, and stopped to say hello as he passed their table.

"So excited to come here for dinner?"

Qi Yubai put down his knife and fork, and the person at the table was a colleague in their circle, they didn't have close contacts at ordinary times, but they knew each other, so they nodded their greetings.

There is another person behind this person, who is not tall, with slightly bald hair, and looks about 40 years old.

He half-hidden behind the person in front of him, he didn't say hello to Qi Yubai, but his eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, with a strange expression on his face.

"Don't bother you to dine with the beauty, let's make an appointment another day."

The visitor smiled and said a few polite words to Qi Yubai, in exchange for Qi Yubai's indifferent "OK".

They left the sight range of the two of them and walked towards the inner table. Fang Qiran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her chin inconspicuously in the opposite direction: "They are talking about you, the one behind seems to be very afraid of you."

Qi Yubai paused while holding the cup, and didn't turn his head immediately, but carefully went through the appearance he saw just now in his mind.

People you know?

no impression.

Afraid of him?

And why.

etc.He vaguely felt that the other party did look familiar.The flat facial features, the sparse hair, and the evasive gaze always gave him a very disgusting intuition.He seemed to have met the other party once, but he couldn't remember where he met him.

"Have you dealt with him?" Fang Qiran stared at him more and more, as if watching a joke, she simply stared at the other side, "They have changed two tables in a row, and they are getting farther and farther away from us, avoiding you."

Qi Yubai thought for a while, "No, I have no impression."

"It seems that too many people have been cured." Fang Qiran gave him a ambiguous smile, "Sooner or later someone will treat you."

Her description successfully aroused Qi Yubai's curiosity.What kind of tricks make the other party want to hide when they see him, but they dare not bring it to the table, but they have no impression of themselves as the party involved.

At the end of the meal, Qi Yubai got up to go to the bathroom.

As soon as he walked outside the door of the men's bathroom, accompanied by the sound of liquid being spilled into the urinal, there was a conversation between two men.

"Why do you say you are so afraid of him? Can he still eat you?"

Qi Yubai recognized this voice, it was the one who greeted him.

So this "he" is naturally himself.Normally, he would disdain to listen to this kind of wall, but today is an exception. He would like to hear what terrible things he has done to make the other party fear him like this.

"Fuck it, it's too small. It's not good to meet anyone, but I met him!"

This voice was thicker and thicker, and it sounded very old. It must be the companion of the person who came - the person who was afraid of him.

"How long has it been? They may have forgotten it long ago. Haven't they come to you to settle accounts in a year or two?"

"Fuck, he forgot, how can his concubine forget? You're so fucking prudish, you can sleep with him, but you can't sleep with me. That little boy named Lin has become a star now, and he has to come to me to settle accounts. I'd better fucking be more sensible, and stop swaying in front of the two of them..."

The concubine, surnamed Lin.

They were talking about Lin Nan, using the dirtiest and vulgar words.

"Hey, can you compare with others? At best, you have an entertainment company. What do they have? There are more leaks out of your fingers than an entertainment company. If you want me to say, just be tougher and talk about yourself It's better to have the same ass with the Qi family, and to be able to brag about it, than to be killed by him for no reason."

The two talked more vigorously, straightened their trousers and turned on the faucet to wash their hands. The sound of running water mixed with meaningful laughter spread outside, which was heard clearly by Qi Yubai, who was less than half a meter away from the door frame.

He didn't go in to interrupt because his thinking nerves were still disconnected at this moment.There are indeed a few clues, but they are still close to the truth.

Almost almost, just like when he was young, standing under the jujube tree in the yard picking dates, standing on tiptoes and stretching his arms, he was only a little bit close to getting what he wanted.

"I don't dare. I've worked so hard to make a name for myself. It's not worth falling over for a butt seller."

The other person laughed: "Then remember to continue to be a man with your tail between your legs from now on, oh no! It's to put away your little leather rope and be a man!"

leather cord.

Upon hearing this word, Qi Yubai woke up instantly like an electric shock.

The probability of an ordinary person seeing a leather rope in his life may be very small, and he is no exception.

He had only seen it once, so he was deeply impressed, so even if he couldn't remember the two faces in the car when the door opened, he still remembered the leather ropes tightly tied around the wrists of the young man in the back seat.

Circle after circle, dark red blood oozes from the white and tender skin, the skin is torn apart, its shape is terrifying, and there is nowhere to hide the fear.

At this second, the picture became extremely vivid again, completely piercing Qi Yubai's calmness.

Bang!

The rubber soles of the leather shoes kicked against the bathroom door as if they were about to knock the door down. The metal doorknob slammed back against the wall and rebounded violently, which seemed to cause the wall to tremble slightly.

Before the middle-aged man by the sink could react, his head was firmly pressed into the basin by a pair of palms, and his face was pressed down against the water-stained porcelain surface.

"Fuck! Who!!"

He struggled desperately after only a second, his head went up as hard as he could but he couldn't move.

Seeing that it was Qi Yubai, the other person opened his eyes wide and shouted with a pale face, "Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi!!" He wanted to save someone but was a bit afraid, so he hung in mid-air and waved helplessly.

"President Qi! What's the matter?! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! If you have something to say, speak up!"

"Qi...President Qi?!" The face of the person with his head in the basin changed drastically.

There was another muffled bang, Qi Yubai grabbed his neck with his right hand, lifted it vigorously and then slammed it down hard, the skull collided with the surface of the tile instantly, successfully eliciting a loud cry of pain from his subordinates.

"Fuck! Mr. Qi is merciful, Mr. Qi, you will die if you hit such a heavy hand!" The onlookers couldn't hold back anymore, and bravely pressed Qi Yubai's hand, "Speak well if you have something to say, Speak well..."

"Speak." Qi Yubai finally spoke, his voice was as cold as coming from hell, "Tell me exactly what you talked about just now, without leaking any details."

"Fuck your mother softly!!" The person under his palm roared angrily, and could not stop making "hissing" sounds.

Qi Yubai's patience burned out like a cigarette butt, and he stuck his hands and feet so that the opponent had no room to fight back. He grabbed his hair and gave another blow: "Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, let's say, let's say..."

The other person almost knelt down in front of him, pressed down with both hands as if trying to appease, and finally opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Actually, I just heard him say it, more than a year ago..."
