Chapter 60 New Year and New Roommate

Li Bai stayed in Shanghai for more than three months. The last scene had a hairstyle, and the actor was the top brand under Xie's banner. The hottest little flower in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles is extremely strict with her image. In addition, her friends and colleagues can't lose the chain to lower the movie's fashion value , the workload of the makeup and hair team can be imagined.

In fact, this is not Li Bai's home game. The reason why he first joined the group was that Zhu Yantang came over to make a cameo appearance as the heroine's first love in white.It can be done in a few days of shooting. However, although Zhu Yantang is a fledgling, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is no less picky about his own image than that little red flower. The stylist who has worked with him and is more assured, Only Li Bai is still in the country, and there is still time.Calling someone to save the scene, Zhu Yantang called Li Bai himself, not asking him if his stomach was growing well, but just asking him if he had run out of money.

This is simply poking at a sore spot.When he received the call, Li Bai was eating noodles in a large white porcelain bowl at a wedding in rural Hebei, with firecrackers ringing in his ears and his mind buzzing.He just bought a big one, and the remaining savings from the operation are indeed empty, and the money he earned from this trip is only enough to keep him fed and clothed for about half a month, and he is about to run out of all kinds of pills for his brain, so he has to open a new one .But at that time, he was only thinking that October [-]th was coming, and he had to return to Beijing no matter what—he was thinking about what Yang Jian was doing. I know if I can make it through."

"Then I can only ask the people in their team to do it for me? I haven't seen any of them, and I can't help but make me look like a taxi driver," Zhu Yantang said in a nasal voice, sounding extremely aggrieved, suddenly He changed the subject again, but he was quite considerate and thoughtful, "Brother Bai, do I still want to find you some extra money?"

Li Bai: "..."

On October [-]th, he still saw Yang Jian.

He spent the first few hours on October [-]th in bed with Yang Jian.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, he got on the plane to Shanghai.

Zhu Yantang was right, no one would have trouble with a foreigner.

What should a campus first love in white be like?Li Bai nestled in the front row of the economy class, the air conditioner was quite cool, and a stewardess sat opposite.He traced with his finger on the porthole.It should be black hair, black eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a bright smile.This shape does not require high technical requirements, but the feeling must be right.Li Bai never went to school, but this does not prevent him from having a first love. His first love may also be the first love of many people at the same time. It fits all the above characteristics, except for one thing - white clothes are rare...

Yang Jian was dressed in black on the bustling campus of Peking University, with a silver pick pendant hanging around his neck, and walked quickly with his textbooks in his hands. arrive.

Draw under your fingertips.

Yang Jian is the black moon, the lake and mountains under the moon, and the dark side of the mountains.

Is this how it feels?

If you have to find out some changes brought about by the years, Yang Jian doesn't always cut his hair very short like at that time, scratching and scratching his hands. Now that his bangs are long, he tends to look loose; I don't know if the shadow under his eyes is due to dark circles. Still, the eyelashes grew thicker, always making Li Bai feel thicker than before.

When not smiling, there is a kind of indifference and gloomyness of not being here out of thin air.

But that's all, almost 30 years old, Yang Jian doesn't even have wrinkles.Li Bai looked for a long time with his chin propped up at dawn in the morning, but he couldn't find anything from the corners of his eyes to the wings of his nose.At that time, he felt that there was only one wish left for him, big and small, and he hoped that in another five years, he could lie here and see the same result.

However, a day has not yet passed, and a new wish popped up——Li Bai pulled up the collar of his jacket, buried his face in it, put his hands in his pockets, and hoped that Yang Jian could find the thing he left behind.

The envelope was pressed under the chair. Yang Jian was keen and would definitely find it. Li Bai had no doubt about it.His wish is that after Yang Jian took it apart, he still had the patience to read the paper, and he could follow the crooked route he drew through the huge city of Beijing, and receive a message from him after the reunion. First birthday present.

I didn't dare to ask for a whole three months.

Li Bai thought it was just a short-term job, and after a few days sent away Zhu Yantang, the big Buddha, he could take the money and leave.Unfortunately, the make-up and hair team was short of manpower. Seeing that Li Bai knew what he had to say and knew how to use it very well, I couldn't do without him.It wasn't that he tried every means to keep him, but the team leader's sentence "We'll settle the bill together" and the salary in the new contract increased from [-] to [-], which made Li Bai unable to leave by himself.

Anyway, there is no other place to go. I have a job and a box lunch. Isn’t this kind of life something you can’t ask for?

Every day, either it was almost dawn and he didn't have time to sleep, or he was about to wake up before dawn, and he didn't have the energy to stare at his phone and wait for a message, or he was wondering whether he should take the initiative to contact.

On the day when Zhu Yantang was sent away, the crew gathered for a simple meal, called and ordered more than [-] plates of spicy seafood, and more than [-] plates of pizza. A lot of people clinked glasses with soda on the lawn of the set. Behind the scenes was the heroine's second boyfriend. Villa in Huangpu District.

The protagonists of this dinner seem to have also become the two of them—the golden boy and the jade girl, the two peaks of popularity inside and outside the cast, who also went around in the movie and finally got married.Together with the director, they are surrounded in the middle.

The first love who was about to leave disappeared after some courtesies. At this moment, he was squatting with Li Bai beside a neatly trimmed green wall on the outer edge of the lawn.

"You said that I will become famous in the future, will it become like this?" Zhu Yantang stared at the crowd, chewing gum and asked.

"Big red and big purple," Li Bai said, biting the mouth of a Coke can. He thought it was like blowing a conch shell. He squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see his colleagues were still disheveled and huddled together Among handsome men and beautiful women, seafood only eats the few plates on the side. "I thought you would ask, 'Do you think I will be famous in the future?'"

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhu Yantang bumped his shoulder.

"Of course it will become like this," Li Bai said. "Everyone will surround you, and everyone wants you to remember them."

Zhu Yantang laughed loudly: "Brother Mingyi will be very happy!"

The nanny's car drove up, the bodyguards were standing outside the garden, the assistant had already helped to open the wrought iron gate, Zhu Yantang stood up, he had to go back to the crowd, and finally said hello.Before that, he was holding the mineral water bottle, touched Li Bai's jar, and said solemnly: "Take care of yourself, Lao Bai. When I become famous, I hope you have developed healthy living habits and come out of broken love."

"I'm broken in love?" Li Bai frowned.

"Yeah, you are in the midst of a boundless lovelorn. It's been the day I met you, and it hasn't ended yet—" Zhu Yantang blinked his eyes as if reciting the lines, which was quite playful, "If you want someone, just make a phone call Well! I'm going to be popular soon, you have to hurry up!"

After speaking, he left on his own.

When Zhu Yantang left, the nanny's car drove away outside the green wall, and Li Bai squatted there all the time.He smoked a cigarette and dusted the ashes into his half-drinked soda, thinking that the man was right.

He took out his mobile phone to make a call, but no one answered, and then sent a text message to Yang Jian, no, it was a WeChat message.Not long after he registered, he pushed Yang Jian with his nose that night, forcing that person to register as well, and only after he was added did he allow people to sleep.Yang Jian is his first friend, and so far, the only one.

I passed your friend verification request, now we can start chatting.

Post a picture?Gotta take advantage of the features.In October, the sky in Shanghai was blue and gray, with thick clouds, and it would rain if you twisted it. Li Bai was a little nervous, and subconsciously took a sip of Coke, which smelled like soot, and felt a little embarrassed.But he smiled, feeling inexplicably happy, following the light, and finally discerning the approximate position of the sun, he took a photo and sent it to Yang Jian.

The picture is a bit blurry.

The 3G network was also as slow as ever. After staring at it for a long time, it finally got out.

The accompanying text said: I squatted by the Huangpu River.

There was a reply in the evening. Li Bai was applying foundation on the back of his hand, biting a brush and turning on his phone. It was also a picture. The twilight in Beijing was unreasonably thick. Yang Jian said: I am stuck on the West Second Ring Road.

Blocking?Walking will not be blocked.You can't even walk on the second ring road.What is Yang Jian sitting on, and what is driving?

Have you received a gift yet?

Li Bai thought, the answer should be yes.

He started to send Yang Jian WeChat messages, and there were several messages every day, what he thought of and what he saw—his working life was really lackluster, but if Yang Jian was on the other side, he would have a lot to say.Sometimes he could get a reply, and sometimes he didn't know what to say when he looked back.On November 11th, he was in northwestern Yunnan, where there was no shortage of sunshine, and called Yang Jian. The first sentence he said after connecting was "Happy Birthday".

"Thank you," Li Bai said, "I have a half-day off today, and I'm going to the county town to buy myself a cake."

"When will you be back?" Yang Jian asked suddenly, the surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of pages turning could be heard.

"Ah?" Li Bai couldn't react for a while, "... probably around the time of the Chinese New Year. I heard they said that the female number one has always been going home to spend the Spring Festival with her family, and she may have a few days off to rest."

"Find me when you come back." Yang Jian stopped flipping through the book and said again, "I'll give you a present."

The Spring Festival in [-] was on February [-]th, and Li Bai returned to Beijing at the end of January, because the female number one unfortunately contracted acute pneumonia before celebrating her grand Spring Festival, and she might have contracted it. Li Bai was admitted to the hospital with the same symptoms, and the crew had to shut down completely after a big oolong, and paid part of the salary to the staff as the New Year's fee, and Li Bai was able to take the money to take the holiday early.

He didn't expect Yang Jian to choose McDonald's as the meeting place.

I didn't expect that the gift from that person turned out to be several commercial insurances. For serious illnesses and accidents, the insurance premiums would be deducted from Yang Jian's card, and the beneficiaries were written by Li Bai himself.

He needs to be present to conduct various inspections and certificates to take effect.

"This is so expensive..." Li Bai stared at the lists, almost unable to read.

Especially for someone like him who has been seriously ill and whose conditions are not stable in all aspects.Occupational reasons, five insurances and one housing fund are things that have nothing to do with him. He himself has no awareness of savings and investment. He thinks that he can do whatever he wants.

"Isn't the one you gave me more expensive?" Yang Jian retorted.

"However," Li Bai was a little speechless, "I should buy this kind of thing myself."

Yang Jian was a little impatient: "If you say that, giving a gift itself is meaningless."

"You seem to be most worried about my death, brother." Li Bai smiled, and the foot of the page in his hand was about to crumpled.

Yang Jian also smiled, and pushed an unremarkable small box in front of him, "And this, I wish you a happy 26 years old."

Really misleading packaging, a sterling silver lip ring, and a pack of disposable piercing tools pressed under the sponge.Yang Jian knows him too well, and he can even guess that his lip hole has grown again—the original one that Li Bai wore on his little finger has never been taken off again, and he has no time to pick out new ones, the flesh on his mouth is natural. will heal.

Now he's going to poke it through again.Yang Jian reminded him.

Li Bai almost did it directly in the McDonald's, in front of a group of noisy middle school students at the next table.My hand is very steady, I won't poke much blood, he thought, will you kiss me then?Still stopped by Yang Jian, the man confiscated his box, stuffed it into his shriveled backpack, and pulled him out of the store.

Accidentally misunderstood again, Li Bai was woken up by the cold air hitting his head, feeling a little palpitating.

At the same time, he was also nailed to the last step and suddenly couldn't lift his feet.Just now before entering the door, he just went up and looked into the store, but he didn’t see a red Yamaha parked by the roadblock, almost brand new, the last three digits of the license plate were still 111, and there was still a flat white bold sticker on the trunk, “パプリカ",Red chili.

Paprika.

Li Bai read it softly, and time was reversed at that second, he could see the wind receding, the road was also shrinking, the burnt aroma of roasted sweet potatoes on the roadside turned into the damp smell among the grass and forests, they were not in Wangfujing The bustling city, but the deserted railway tracks at Wudaokou.Getting out of Peking University all the way east, passing Tsinghuayuan Station, Yang Jian always drove him without saying a word, chasing the train, spending some rare and boring dusks in the dust.

"There is no previous model," Li Bai said again, "I think this one looks very similar."

"The difference is only in the engine and the shock absorber." It seems that Yang Jian has already done a comprehensive study.

"It's so pretty." Li Bai grabbed Yang Jian's sleeve.

"Indeed." Yang Jian pulled him down the steps and let him hold his fingers.He was still holding the key with McMug hanging on the base of his finger.

There are two helmets tied to the handlebars, one of which belongs to Li Bai.He stepped onto the back seat and hugged Yang Jian's waist tightly.He still finds it unbelievable. When he bought the car, he didn’t have a driver’s license or a license plate. He also hired a small bread to deliver it. According to the map, he drew the treasure map and hidden it in the envelope nervously.But Yang Jian not only found it, but also gave it the old license plate... Even the stickers were made by Yang Jian.There is no place to sell this kind of stickers. In the past, Li Bai bought the glued paper to draw the shape of the poster title and then cut it out.

Yang Jian must have done the same thing patiently.

As a result, they were silent on the phone and on WeChat?

Send over "I miss you" "I want to have sex with you", or send a few self-consciously beautiful photos taken in the mirror of the dormitory, and that person still ignores him.

Li Bai secretly laughed and laughed. At that moment, he even had the feeling that time can be chased. As long as they keep walking on this road, everything will return to the original state. He opened the helmet eyepiece and buried his face in Yang Cut behind, he never wanted to look up.

However, compared with the daydream, the road was still too short, and after about half an hour, he was taken to the insurance company.

Li Bai inquired from the salesman that Yang Jian did not buy related products for himself, and it was evening again when he came out of the building after finishing the formalities. The hotel took the subway back to his basement, and he kept thinking about going back to work in his head.

He also hid a stack of insurance brochures in his bag, flipping through them. Accidents and diseases are really scary!People are so fragile, and there are so many risks in life.He also had to buy a few copies of the same one for Yang Jian to feel at ease.

The little New Year's fee now is not enough to do anything, but this is not the top priority. Li Bai packed all his odds and ends, and also threw away the red sofa. It was too dirty and old, and the rental contract had expired. Prepare to move out, according to what Yang Jian said, find a safe place to live.

Next to Ping'an Lane, on Zhao Dengyu Road... This is what I remember.Just want to be closer.Li Bai looked at more than a dozen housing listings, and chose an old two-bedroom apartment on the third floor in Guanying Garden as his first choice.It’s not because the co-renting is cheap, it’s just because I heard from the agent that the “roommate” who is currently living there claims to have bad habits such as smoking and inverting black and white. If you want to play rock and roll outside, you can find someone who can tolerate the co-rental, and there are no requirements for other aspects.

Sounds like a coincidence?

Li Bai swore that his initial thought was really just to get closer.

"Is it okay to be mentally ill?" he asked.

"Are you mentally ill?" The intermediary asked in surprise, "Is it serious?"

"It's okay!" Li Bai said sincerely, "Go and ask him if he can accept it. If something is wrong with me, can you do me a favor and remind me to take medicine or knock me out and send me to the hospital?"

The feeling of being scary was not bad. The next day, Li Bai received a cautious call from the intermediary and got an answer: The other party felt that they needed to meet.

Have you hit the jackpot?

It seems that among the various coincidences in a lifetime, only this time is the best.

But still pretty clueless.

Li Bai thinks that there is a high possibility that he will be returned.

On the day of Lichun, there are only a few days left before New Year’s Eve. I love that my family will be on holiday. He followed the agent through the winding old community. Before he went upstairs, he vaguely heard it on the agent’s phone. familiar voice.

"I'm at home," said the man, "well, come up."

Climbing up the third floor, he was terrified, but he couldn't hold back his joy. He wanted to escape and put his pockets in a smile. The door was already opened, and his new roommate was standing at the door.

"Ah?" Li Bai poked his head out and looked up at him over the intermediary, "...Hi."

Does it look surprising enough?

There was no surprise on Yang Jian's face: "Hello," he stretched out his right hand to Li Bai, "My name is Yang."

Li Bai blinked, and shook hands with him lightly, "Hello, my surname is Yang too."

"Isn't your surname Li?" The agent blurted out, and while Li Bai was looking around, he pulled Yang Jian aside and muttered. He always seemed a little unnatural when he introduced the situation and even signed the contract at the end.It was probably the first time I was dealing with a client who admitted to being sick, and it went incredibly smoothly.The more Li Bai watched it, the more he found it funny. After the agent left, he glanced at the advertisement on TV, put away his deflated kraft paper bag, and walked around beside Yang Jian, "Are you a teacher?"

"A few students have been recruited to make up lessons at home," Yang Jian looked at him, "Do you mind?"

"Morning, afternoon or evening?"

"Both of them." Yang Jian lowered his head slightly, almost touching the tip of his nose with him, "Two will come soon."

"I can make you a late-night snack, and let them have some by the way—" Li Bai brushed the scraps of thread from Yang Jian's shoulders, and went to the master bedroom, "I don't have a wardrobe in my room, does Teacher Yang mind if I use yours?"

"And... sleep in your bed, can I?"

Yang Jian inserted his trouser pockets and leaned against the door frame, watching him open the wardrobe, laughing without speaking.

Li Bai blushed suddenly, and took down a pair of thin clothes from the hanging rail.

It was the nightdress, Yang Jian actually took it home, washed it clean, and hung it next to his suit.

"By the way," Li Bai said in a low voice with his hands frozen in mid-air, "After I left that day, how much was the room bill?"

"Two thousand. The skirt accounts for eight hundred."

"We share it equally." Li Bai tiptoed and hung up the skirt.

"It's not necessary," Yang Jian said, with an understatement, "I'll see you off."

"Should I wear it now? Wait for your student to come—"

"Wear it when I was knocked out and sent to the hospital."

Li Bai stayed for a few seconds, his face was burnt into an apple, he suddenly jumped up and gnawed on him, gnawed on his lips, and was gnawed back by his chin. The two entered the living room and fell down on the sofa. Li Bai asked, why are you shy, I will also give you the one you are wearing now.The top button of the peacock blue jacket was unbuttoned one by one, revealing the soft thick sweater inside. The collar of the sweater was also pulled down, and Li Bai's neck and chest were covered with a few more shades of red. He laughed and screamed, firmly grabbed Yang Jian's shoulders, and retaliated with his teeth, on the side of the man's neck and the corner of his mouth, where the students could see.

Then they hugged each other and looked at each other.It seems that there is no need to say anything more.Today's meeting is a coincidence, and it has been planned for a long time. It is a tacit understanding between the two sides.Li Bai saw the distance, there are still thousands of kilometers between the skin... The distance is always far and near.He often felt that Yang Jian didn't care about him at all, but sometimes he firmly believed that this person needed him so much, and at such times, he unscrupulously broke into Yang Jian's territory and left his own traces.

Breathing is close to his ears, Li Bai can only spare a little energy to listen to the TV, the news has already started to broadcast, the major policies are finished, the international situation is also finished, now we are talking about people's livelihood, after talking about the medical reform, the four major changes will solve people's medical treatment Difficult and expensive to see a doctor, the screen cuts back and starts to say the next one:

"Recently, the police in Zhejiang and Fujian jointly destroyed two dens of the 'Sun and Moon God' cult, and arrested sixteen members, and two are still at large—"

Wheezing, wheezing, Li Bai's eyelashes trembled.

Puff, puff, Yang Jian turned his face away, was watching the news, and covered his eyes.

Other related information was only mentioned in a few sentences before being passed on. Li Bai heard that the hostess began to happily broadcast the customs and activities of welcoming the spring in various places, such as the early temple fair in Beijing, the ice sculpture festival in Harbin, and the flower market in Guangzhou... There were accents from various places in the interview, There are children laughing.

New Year is coming.
