Dayfall

"I do not know."

"Ah Hui and the others all know that you can't—"

"Ask if you still regard you as a friend, other thoughts have nothing to do with me."

His voice turned cold, Li Yubai drank the last sip of wine, and chewed the orange peel in his mouth.Seeing that the bassist was no longer talking, he pushed the glass back to the bar: "Don't talk to death. You must have seen that video. I don't remember what happened that day. Can you tell me?"

The bass player rubbed the hem of his clothes, the music on the stage was louder, and the lights flickered like flickering.

He said after a long time: "There is a person who went to Ah Hui once after you didn't come. He knew that video at that time and showed it to me. He asked me to keep it. It might be useful in the future. Brother Bai, we really didn't shoot it." .”

It was a copied version, and he still remembered that perspective was hidden in the deck of the bar.

Li Yubai's eyebrows twitched: "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

The bassist thought for a while and said, "Male, about 40 years old, very gentle, with a scar on the corner of his mouth. Later, a girl said that he had been squatting in the bar for a long time, and he might be looking for a beautiful person."

When he said "there is a scar at the corner of the mouth", Li Yubai's breathing almost stopped.

He didn't know how else he could get out of Luchuan Bar and get into He Lian's car.He Lian didn't start it directly, but opened the skylight, revealing a small piece of night sky covered by leaves.

He Lian said, "Are we thinking of the same person?"

Li Yubai nodded firmly: "Chu is unusual, it's him."

He Lian gritted his teeth: "I knew, maybe he was the one who exposed the captain's relationship before? The routine is exactly the same as this time, just trying to use public opinion to bring FALL down—"

"Isn't he affiliated with Shuotian? I guess he still wants to bring TSU to the top." Li Yubai looked at the dark blue sky, "We blocked TSU's way once, twice. Pei Mian, Xiao Jiang, I ..."

"Stupid/crazy." He Lian cursed.

But Li Yubai smiled: "If someone confesses to me in front of you, it's fine if you don't get angry, but this is what you think? My Xiao Lian really deserves the most dedicated award of the year."

He Lian pouted: "Didn't you reject it on the spot, it's none of my business."

Li Yubai deliberately teased him: "If I react a little slower, should I be sent to the scene of the proposition?"

"That's a must!" He Lian grabbed his neck and pressed it down, kissed Li Yubai viciously on the lips, then started the car, and screamed belatedly, "Damn it, what if I was caught just now? ?!"

"Quit the entertainment circle." Li Yubai smiled wickedly, "These two days just happened to apply for the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Don't even think about it, if you want to be hot, come with me." He Lian said.

He smiled for a moment, feeling that the peace did soothe him.Maybe it was because of He Lian. Before he could think of a solution, He Lian proposed it and took him to a bar on Sichuan East Road, looking at the ceiling of the Blue Whale Gymnasium.If he had made his own decision, Li Yubai might never want to come.

Subconsciously, he avoided all this, and he was not unaware of what the bassist said "like".Adding all these together, Li Yubai had a hard time facing the past.

It was He Lian who forced him to drink the wine he liked before, after hearing that sentence.

Then he faced it and realized that the familiar environment and the confession of his old friend were not as hard to say as he imagined, and they didn't shake him at all.

"I still want to ask a question..." When He Lian spoke, the syllables stuck together, as if he could appear not stingy, "That Xiaoxi, did you have a good relationship before? And who is Ahui?"

"You still say it doesn't matter?" Li Yubai raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He Lian stared at the white line on the asphalt road and whistled.

"Ah Hui is the lead singer of the band. I used to hang out with them all the time. Everyone in school thinks about grade points, lectures, research papers and scholarships. My parents prefer Li Shanqing and don't care how I study. Alone, I just want to find some sense of existence." Li Yubai leaned back, pulling the seat belt back and forth with his fingers.

"Are you actually such a person?" He Lian released a hand to pinch Li Yubai's face.

Li Yubai asked him to concentrate on driving: "Humans, social animals, I have felt this way since I was a child. If no one gave me this sense of existence, I would be very anxious-when I was found by scouts and signed Guanghua, on the one hand I felt that Finding something to do to keep yourself busy, on the other hand, is also to relieve this anxiety."

He Lian said softly: "What anxiety... I know you like to sing. When I saw you that day, it was like light, sinking in the middle of the melody... The song on the second anniversary was very nice."

Li Yubai said: "I didn't sing well before, and I want to listen to you again."

"Is that so?" He Lian's side face was cast in a hazy orange color by the light from the street lamp through the car window, "But in my heart, that time at the bar was very, very good."

Li Yubai turned his face away, staring at his own reflection on the car window, without making a sound.

He didn't want He Lian to see the strange change in his expression, and he tried hard to suppress the sour smell in his nasal cavity.

Then He Lian didn't mention anything else, and he drove quietly.

It was already late when I came out of the bar, and it would take more than half an hour to go back. There was less traffic on the elevated road at night, and only the lights and the lights from the residential buildings on both sides converged into a river in the sky. They drove at the intersection of the river and the road. , like two fishes that are inseparable from each other.

He drove into the community, swiped through the access control, and drove into the underground garage.He Lian helped Li Yubai unbuckle his seat belt, thinking he was asleep, so he pushed him and shouted, "You're home."

"I think..." Li Yubai said, about to open the car door, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, ask Brother Chen to help hold a press conference. Xiaoxi's recording may not be available, sorry."

"Maybe they just want you to hold a press conference, and your reputation has plummeted?" He Lian asked, "Are you worried that Chu Pingfan will have a backer, and he will be unscrupulous if he is not in the same company."

Li Yubai flicked his forehead: "Xiao Lian won't let me get confused, right?"

He Lian shook her head with a smile, and got out of the car with him.

It wasn't until the two entered the straight ladder that he grabbed Li Yubai's hand, kissed his eyes, and said something like a line from a few months ago: "Then you have to trust me."

"Yes." Li Yubai nodded.

"I will prove it to you, Brother Bai." He Lian nodded his heart, "You just need to love me."

Ding dong, the elevator arrived at the designated floor, Li Yubai pushed him out, put his hands on He Lian's shoulders, and scolded with a smile that the little bastard was good at boasting, so he wasn't ashamed.

He Lian didn't turn his head back: "I am the king of beasts, woohoo!"

Li Yubai almost burst out laughing again.

The idea of ​​holding a press conference drove Chen Ge crazy for a long time. He almost made himself bald, and then said to Li Yubai very seriously: "I now suspect that you are going to come out of the closet. You will be lenient when you confess, and you have to discuss it."

"Brother Chen, I'm really not gay, so just rest assured." Li Yubai patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Ge said vigilantly: "Then you have to report to me first."

Li Yubai briefly talked about Chu's ordinary things, and scratched his hair under Chen Ge's shocking white eyes: "I don't know how long he has been squatting at the bar...why is he there, his debut experience... some words, I Want to speak out."

Previously, Pei Mian and Jiang Zhuliu had cast a psychological shadow on the poor manager. Li Yubai said it sincerely, but Chen Ge still couldn't believe it: "Is it enough to post on Weibo? I can also find someone to write for you."

"It's better face to face, Xiao Lian said, please!" Li Yubai said, clasping his hands together.

"Have you discussed it with He Lian? Does he have a backup?"

Li Yubai nodded: "He said that as long as I make things clear, there will be a way to make this topic disappear from now on. But he kept it a secret from me about the way."

Chen Ge didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes rolled away, and then his eyes shot out: "Okay! I'll give you this chance."

Li Yubai hurriedly said thank you, Brother Chen, and sent him away with a nod and bow.

Words must be followed, and the agent found Qin Yi within two hours to get approval, and then discussed the next trend of public opinion with the public relations, and confirmed that there should be no major problems, and gave Li Yubai feedback: Yes.The time was set for the next morning. Guanghua Entertainment has a special press room, which can be lent to him once.

After the news was released, there was another frantic speculation in the fan circle, inferring that "Li Yubai really doesn't want to do it anymore", "Will Li Yubai come out on the spot", "Li Yubai and the bass player may have an underground relationship, there is CP Are you a fan?" and so on, making the person under discussion laugh out loud at night.

He slept with He Lian in his arms for the night, and went to the company early the next day.

In the Internet age, very few artists would use the form of "press conferences" to clarify work. The most extreme thing is to send a lawyer's letter on Weibo to defend their rights, and what's more, they use subpoenas and court acceptance notices.The face-to-face communication seems to end here, but some people say that daring to explain to reporters in person is enough to show sincerity.

"Just this one?" Li Yubai said, showing He Lian a look in the mirror.

He Lian was sitting on the sofa behind him playing with his mobile phone. Hearing this, he raised his eyes: "Handsome."

A simple black short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, not formal attire.I simply made a base, for the MV of the new single, I just dyed my silver-gray hair two days ago, thanks to my strong facial features, I can hold it up.

Li Yubai scratched his hair: "Then I'll go."

He Lian stood up suddenly and blocked the door of the lounge.

Li Yubai laughed: "What are you doing?"

"Kiss of victory." He Lian said, before Li Yubai could express his lips, he put his lips in his mouth, and then quickly let go, "Okay, you go. I'll watch the live broadcast right here."

"Hmm." Li Yubai thought for a while, then pressed He Lian's cheek with his fingertips.

There was a soft depression, and He Lian's canine teeth were exposed: "Why..."

Li Yubai withdrew his hand: "Tell me that you love me?"

"I love you." He Lian stood up straight, and shook Li Yubai's hand wearing a Buddhist bead.

The next moment, the string of Buddhist beads was taken off. It was originally decorated as a bracelet, but when it was torn apart, it was found to be a long string. He hung it on his chest and made a heartfelt gesture to He Lian.

"Come back later."

The flashing lights haven't stopped since he appeared, illuminating the somewhat dim sky like daytime.The room was crowded with dense people, and Li Yubai sat on the stage by himself, feeling extremely cold at the height.

He raised his head, and the crisp sound of pressing the shutter suddenly stopped for a moment.His mind was inappropriately active, and he actually had fantasies: so many people?It seems that our little sticky ball is really promising...

He has always had a cold image, he smiled at the reporters for the first time, and provoked a frantic photoshoot.

"Can you turn off the flash?" Li Yubai said, pointing to the lighting behind it, "The lights in this room are quite bright, and the flash made me a little dizzy."

Someone laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became less dignified, and then several portal websites took the lead in responding. One minute later, the flashes were turned off in various ways, and the cameras responsible for the live broadcast were also installed in place.

Li Yubai took a sip of mineral water and said, "There's nothing to explain first, friends from the media can ask if they want."

Strawberry TV has always cooperated closely with Guanghua, and their reporter was the first to raise his hand: "Is the video of you and that boy kissing that was released two days ago a fake?"

"No." Li Yubai shook his head, causing an uproar before he said again, "But there was no kiss."

"Why so sure?"

"I'm friends with the band members in that bar. After the video came out, I confirmed it immediately." Li Yubai paused, "I was drunk on the day of the video shooting, so there were some inappropriate behaviors."

"As an idol, you go in and out of bars every day, have you ever considered the negative impact?"

"Thanks, I want to correct one point, this is a pre-debut video, I haven't even joined the company as a trainee, so I don't have 'idol self-awareness', go to bars to decompress and relax, no hookups, no exposure to drugs. At that time Studying is too tiring, everyone who has gone to college should have the same feeling."

"If it's friends, why didn't they speak up for you?"

"No need, I should take on this matter, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Don't dare to expose them to the public. Are you also guilty of today's remarks and afraid to confront them?"

"I'm not guilty, it's just a private negotiation."

Suddenly, a female reporter's voice sounded sharply: "Then why do you take the initiative to hug someone of the same sex and make this gesture, are you gay?"

The atmosphere in the arena froze for a moment, which is undoubtedly what many people did not ask.

Unexpectedly, Li Yubai didn't evade or evade this question, and just pursed his lips: "Whether it's the time in the video or after my debut, I have never had a deeper relationship with any man."

The female reporter persisted: "So are you gay?"

"What do you think?" Li Yubai looked at her and even smiled, "When I fall in love with a man, I will be it."
