Confessions of a retired star

The two sat down, the sleeves of the hoodies were rubbing against each other, Q Bu curled up his legs naturally, grabbed the manga on the floor and read it, Zhu Shisi put his knees together in front of him, having nothing to do, I also took the manga with "JOJO" written on the cover and flipped through a few pages.

Exaggerated onomatopoeia, bulging limbs, weird outlines... Uh, I don't understand.

Q Bu on the side read with gusto, Zhu Shisi closed the book, and secretly observed him with sideways eyes. The young man had a smile on his face and his eyes were concentrated.

Is it so pretty?Maybe this is the generation gap, Zhu Shisi defaults that Q Bu is younger than himself, but he doesn't know how old he is, three years old?six years old?nine years old?It is impossible to be nine years old, and the younger nine years old is a minor.

"coming."

Q Bu’s eyes focused on the manga suddenly lifted up, just in time to catch Zhu Shisi’s eyes about to escape, a series of footsteps sounded outside, and then the shoji was pulled open, and Ah Tiao, wearing a chef’s hat and gloves, pushed He entered the door with a three-story car.

"Let me introduce to you, these are our specialties, matcha mille crepe cake, lightning puffs, wasabi pea macaron, hazelnut mojito..."

Plate after plate of desserts and drinks were transferred from the trolley to the low table. In addition to the signature features, there were Zhushisi's favorite strawberry cake and mango mousse.After more than a dozen dishes of exquisite food were set up, a large smell of mellow wheat and rich milk rushed to Zhu Shisi. He swallowed and looked straight.

"Please taste these first, and call me if you don't have enough." Ah Tiao said.

Q Bu was next to him impatiently scratching the wooden strips on the barrier, and Ah Tiao threw a look that I understood and I was about to roll, and retreated sensibly.

Zhu Shisi was dazzled, smelled this, poked that with a fork, and finally locked his target on a small chocolate cube.In the small disc containing it, Zhu Shisi found something that caught his eye.

"look."

Zhu Shisi happily knocked on the disc, asking Q Bu to share his discovery.

Q Bu looked down, and there was a bright star in the plate.

It was a small golden five-pointed star surrounded by an equally golden halo.

"What ingredients are these made of?" Zhu Shisi's eyes curled into two with a rare smile, and the brown eyelashes brushed his lower eyelids, "The planetary rings shouldn't be drawn like this, they should be like this..."

Zhu Shisi took a small fork to smear out the golden halo of the stars, Q Bu leaned leisurely on the backrest, looked at Zhu Shisi's focused side face, and stretched out his hand to hold his hat rope.

"You really like astronomy."

"Of course, do you like it?"

"I'm average."

"So-so?...Then why did you go to the planetarium?"

"Because the people I care about like astronomy."

Zhu Shisi paused for a moment, then he asked casually, but he didn't expect Q Bu's tone to be so serious... This liar, when we met at the planetarium last time, he said, "I followed you as soon as I saw you." ", Zhu Shisi can remember clearly.

"Why do you like these stars?"

Q Bu played with the rope of Zhu Shisi's hoodie, looking at ease, Zhu Shisi gave him a sideways glance, grabbed the rope back, and straightened the crumpled hat.

"Ancestral."

"Ancestral? Hobbies can still be passed down from one's ancestors."

"Why can't hobbies be passed down from one's ancestors? It's so rare, so strange," Zhu Shisi muttered in a low voice, holding up the painted plate in front of Q cloth, "See, Saturn's rings are like this."

Q Bu stared at the small chocolate cube next to the star, and directly lowered his head and took a bite: "I see."

There was a little bit of chocolate sauce on the corner of his mouth, but Q Bu didn't notice it, he lowered his head again, and ate the sharp corner of the cube with Zhu Shisi's hand holding the plate.Zhu Shisi laughed, and handed him the napkin. Q Bu pretended to be dazed and asked Zhu Shisi to wipe it for him. The two had a quarrel for a while, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

"I'm going to start tasting. Do you mind if I share a little of everything?"

"It's all yours. If you don't mind, you can give me what you can't finish."

Are you kidding me, can't finish it?Zhu Shisi set a record of eating [-] ice creams in a day in the fourth grade of elementary school. Although he ended up in the emergency room, Zhu Shisi never failed in the face of sweets.

"Don't underestimate the appetite of a grown man."

Zhu Shisi raised his eyebrows confidently, and stretched out the fork in his hand to the lightning puff in front of him.

"Well……!"

If you want to make a soundtrack for Zhu Shisi's expression at this moment, then the background music of the top-notch cuisine in "The Little Master of China" should do my part.

The fluffy and soft puffs entered the mouth, and the dense cream overflowed between the teeth. Q Bu saw the slightly intoxicated intoxication on Zhu Shisi's face. In the girl manga, there are only a few shining roses blooming gorgeously around him.

"It's amazing! Is your friend a master of cooking? I want to open a small account to give him good reviews."

After eating a whole puff, Zhu Shisi took a sip of the hazelnut mojito, squinted his eyes, savoring the sweet and mellow aftertaste.

"Haha, is it so delicious?"

“Super super super delicious!”

"Then I'll ask him to make a few more, or do I want this flavor?"

"...uh, wait a minute."

Zhu Shisi's eyes that were stained with intoxication and blush blinked, lowered his head, took a sip of his drink, and looked at Q Bu seriously: "...my postcard."

As the saying goes, eating people's mouth is short, Zhu Shisi was a little hesitant.

"When are you going to pay me back?"

"I didn't bring it with me."

Q raised an eyebrow disapprovingly.

"...This postcard is very important to me, when can I give it to me, I need an exact time."

Returning things to their original owners is a matter of course, Zhu Shisi overcomes the little embarrassment in his heart, and speaks more firmly.

I only heard Q Bu sigh from deep in his throat, he threw the ball of paper to wipe his mouth on the comics aside, with a slight mockery in his cynical smile: "Is the postcard or the received book cloud more important?"

"Have you seen the postcard?"

"Of course," Q Bu laughed out of his nostrils, leaning back on the backrest with his left hand holding his right arm, a sharp arc flashed in his dark pupils, "Is Shuyun the person you like?"

"..."

Zhu Shisi's mouth stopped half-open.

"Right? You like Shuyun."

Q Bu's voice was lowered a bit, with some questioning taste.

Inexplicably, Zhu Shisi felt that the sound was so familiar, he must have heard it somewhere.After only being distracted for a moment, Zhu Shisi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Q Bu, the visions of the two pairs of eyes intertwined.

Zhu Shisi stared at him, knowing that he was sneering, but couldn't find the focus of his gaze, why did he ask such a question?Why this expression?Zhu Shisi couldn't figure it out, he tried to think, but the torrent of thoughts in his mind shattered the trickle of his thoughts, a little messy and annoying.

The sweet smell swelled and fermented in silence, blended into the perfume smell on Q Bu's body, and the shampoo smell from his hair, mixed together, and swelled infinitely.The eyes of the two sides crossed and wrestled like this. Afterwards, crisp notes rose from the corner of the room, piercing the silent embarrassment of pulling each other like needlepoints. Zhu Shisi withdrew his emotionally turbulent eyes and moved his face aside. , Shen Shen replied:

"This is my privacy and has nothing to do with you."

The melody flowed out from the speakers at the corner of the wall, and gradually merged into a gentle and joyful song, driving away the dead silence that filled the entire room.

"Why do birds suddenly appear

Everytime you are around

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Everytime you walk by

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

......"

At the end of the two short paragraphs, Zhu Shisi stood up impatiently, pushed aside the screen with a bang, and waved to Ah Tiao who was smoking on the opposite side of the corridor.

"Can you turn the music off?"

Zhu Shisi's complexion was a little duller than before, and Q Bu sat behind him with a trace of sincere depression on his face.

Ah Tiao looked at Q Bu in embarrassment: "This..."

"Shut it off."

"But this, this is what you asked me to let go..."

"Shut it off, it hurts my hands."

Q cloth interrupted resentfully.

"what?"

Ah Tiao looked at Q Bu in bewilderment, scratched his head and retreated.

The singing stopped abruptly, and silence surrounded the two of them again.Zhu Shisi's chest felt tight, he wanted to leave, but what's the point of leaving?He glanced back, intending to say goodbye. Q Bu was boringly digging at the graffiti on the plaster with his left hand, and he was not happy.

Zhu Shisi sat back.

"You don't like this song?"

After a while, Q Bu looked at Zhu Shisi next to him, his voice was a bit muffled.

"...No," Zhu Shisi shook his head lightly, "This song means a lot to me, but I don't really want to listen to it at this time."

Q Bu's sullen face suddenly regained energy, and his tone became urgent: "Did you remember something important?"

"I don't need to think about important things, and I will never forget any of them."

"Is there one thing about..."

"about?"

After Zhu Shisi showed a dazed expression, Q Bu's wide eyes drooped down again.

After a while.

"...Sorry, I shouldn't have asked about your privacy, I was offside."

Q Bu bent his legs, half hugged his knees, his chin retracted into his collar, his long eyelashes brushed his soft bangs, and two or three slightly longer hairs scratched his eyes.He tilted his head, fiddling with the comics and paper balls on the ground, with a slight sense of sadness and fragility in his brows and eyes.

The aroma of desserts on the table settled down, and the chocolate cube eaten by Q Bu solidified on the plate. There was a star on the plate, and the halo of Saturn painted by Zhu Shisi.

Zhu Shisi's heart softened.

"It's time for me to apologize. I overreacted just now." Zhu Shisi leaned towards Q Bu and gently brushed away the hair in front of his eyes. "The postcard is not packaged, so it is easy for people to see the content... I Shouldn't have been so sensitive, sorry."

Q Bu raised his head from the soft hoodie, and he grabbed Zhu Shisi's hand suddenly: "I will return the postcard to you, can we still meet?"

"Since you want to give it to me, then we will meet," Zhu Shisi didn't dodge, let him hold his wrist, and smiled tolerantly, "Don't you want to return it to me with your own hands?"

"Think," Q Bu's listless expression finally disappeared, fearing that Zhu Shisi would run away, and he grasped tighter and tighter, "How can I contact you?"

"My phone is—"

Zhu Shisi gave out a series of numbers.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Shisi was lying on the bed and scrolling through Weibo, his eyes fixed on the topic "Shiyu compound" which was the fourth most searched topic, motionless.On this page, Zhu Shisi stayed on it for 10 minutes without turning his eyes, but he didn't see anything.

He is in a daze.

He didn't expect that he would tell a person who had only met four times with his cell phone number.

Moreover, he was also taught a lesson by this person, a lesson about the new role.

Time went back to three hours ago.

Zhu Shisi reported his number and promised that he did not cheat this time. If you don't believe it, you can verify it on the spot.

Q Bu smiled: "I can't verify it, I don't usually carry a mobile phone."

Zhu Shisi: "...I suspect that you traveled from ancient times."

Then Zhu Shisi went out and called A Tiao, asking him to bring a thick enough pen, A Tiao responded positively, and directly presented the largest marker pen.

With a flick of the cover, Zhu Shisi signed his number on the plaster of Q cloth with graffiti.

"Keep it safe and don't tell anyone."

"I can actually recite it..."

"Recite it again."

"183110120119..."

"Stop, stop, why did you start reciting the fourth number?"

"Because you're standing in front of me, so close, all my attention is on you."

In the background of Q Bu's deep pupils, there was a faint red light. Zhu Shisi and him looked at each other for two seconds, and then hurriedly took a step back.

Don't you blush as soon as you open your mouth?Zhu Shisi is a little suspicious that this person's pitiful appearance just now is just pretending. He is obviously a person who can throw himself into the toilet cubicle with one hand, and he is obviously a person who secretly wears someone else's white coat and pretends to be a doctor without blinking his eyes. The person... Which face is the real one?

"When is the best time for me to contact you?"

Q Bu showed a gentle and sincere expression, Zhu Shisi faced him, a little distracted, and almost blurted out: anytime.But he reined in the precipice and swallowed the words abruptly.

"Well... the boss of the new drama has given way. I have a relatively high success rate in auditions. I must prepare well in the past few days. Well, let me do the math..."

"Pfft." Q Bu suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"I've seen clips of your audition, and it's still a little far from that role."

Zhu Shisi frowned and thought about it, some crews would post the audition clips on the Internet to build momentum in advance, and no matter how he saw it, this person spoke too directly, a layman, how dare to judge the experts?I wish you all the best.

"Then what do you think?"

The author has something to say: The song is "Close To You" by the Carpenters
