Dayfall

"I kind of know why you look so fake." He Lian sighed after finishing the phone call, and looked at the people with black lines on their heads in front of him, hating iron for being weak.

Maybe I just experienced a group of younger generations, and the boys' friendship didn't have so many twists and turns. He Lian is so sincere, it's hard for others to treat him as an ordinary airborne person who wants to get hot. .

Pei Mian touched her nose: "Why is it fake?"

"It's not fake." He Lian overturned it himself, thinking about an exact word but failed, "I watched a lot of your variety shows and MV shooting highlights when I was abroad... I feel that this group is working hard. , and a bit strange, as if they don't understand each other at all..."

Then he slapped his head and said with a wonderful metaphor: "It's the kind of couple who live together, you know what I mean!"

Responding to a neat silence, He Lian scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and was about to speak, but Li Yubai said unequivocally, "It's just to live with a partner."

He Lian: "Huh?"

"Those fans are right, they are just colleagues." Li Yubai said, dismantling the camouflage of warmth without saving face, "If there is any difference between them and ordinary colleagues, they often stay up late together and get bored together."

"That's why you are not popular." He Lian concluded, "There is no sense of 'it's true' at all."

Li Yubai was used to being told that he was not popular, so he smiled noncommittally.The rest of the people were not so big-hearted. When He Lian said this, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, but what he said was right, unlike Yan Yan, who was purely for ridicule. If he wanted to refute, he didn't know where to start. feeling terrible.

Seeing their unnatural expressions, He Lian rubbed his face and said, "However, I see that Chu Changfan doesn't seem to take you seriously at all...Maybe he hasn't told you these things at all?"

"That's true." Jiang Zhuliu said in great frustration, "He cares a lot about the newcomers, but he was really kind to us before, so don't kill everything with one blow."

"Have you ever been trained on the basic qualities of an idol?" He Lian asked.

Gu Sui: "It happened when I was a trainee, but then the company didn't make any arrangements, so we were left alone."

He Lian covered her eyes in disbelief: "I'm really convinced, I'm sorry, it's my prejudice. I thought you didn't want to do business because you were emotionally unstable due to those black marketing materials, and the company hid it... It turned out that you didn't want to do business. Knowing how to open, how could such a high-quality Wanyan group get this level—"

Li Yubai asked at the right time: "What business?"

"Idol business, don't you think it's only when they are on the show? Then I really want to interrupt Sanlian."

"No, there are some active businesses. The company told us to be more united and friendly." Pei Mian thought for a while and added, "We often play games together."

The other three had weird expressions.

Gu Sui: "Really?"

Pei Mian smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it happened before!"

"...Anyway," He Lian turned on the phone tiredly. Li Yubai, who was close, only had time to see clearly the string of messages he typed and sent, before hearing him mumble, "Let's solve the accommodation problem first, and the rest ... If you want to find a way to be popular with those few, we will discuss it later."

As if he had become a spiritual leader, Li Yubai wanted to laugh at his own brain hole.

The spiritual leader asked, "Where do you all live?"

Pei Mian: "The hotel has fixed suites."

Jiang Zhuliu: "I share the rent with my companion, and commute half an hour away from the company."

The rest of the eyes fell on Li Yubai, and the few people who had never communicated with each other about the accommodation realized the difference at this moment.He inexplicably felt a sense of superiority, and said naturally, "Stay at home."

"Is your home here?" Pei Mian felt uncomfortable after asking this, and laughed dryly, "I never heard you say that."

"Well, I've been studying here since I was in junior high school. You didn't ask me..." Li Yubai said, seeing the embarrassment on everyone's faces, he had to step down the steps, "It's okay, I'll get to know it later."

Pei Mian: "I think what he said is true, we deserve to fail in business."

He Lian, who had been silent for a while, buried his head in replying to the news. After chatting for a while, their private life fell into dead silence, and they quickly played the role of smoothing things over: "I have asked someone to find a good house. If it is suitable, I can spend the next two days properly. Move in... oh yes, it's over there."

After speaking, he pointed in the direction of a residential area near the company, about 5 minutes away from the office building of Guanghua Entertainment.

Comparing the location with his bank card balance, Jiang Zhuliu couldn't help shivering, and said in a low voice, "It seems quite expensive. I heard that Su Su lives there."

He Lian has good ears and eyesight, heard what he said but didn't say anything, and continued to play on his mobile phone: "Then let's come here first today, let's create a group, and I will post the dormitory arrangements later... By the way, the one who moved Time can also tell me, there are people I know to help, don't be polite to me!"

"How do you calculate the rent?" Gu Sui folded his arms, "It's impossible for you to pay too."

"Don't worry, it must be a reasonable price." He Lian said, flirting with Jiang Zhuliu, "After a while, there will be an income if there is an announcement. Are you still worried about the rent?"

Although these words were not very credible, they at least calmed the floating mood. Jiang Zhuliu looked at him, and the other party still looked easy to get along with.

Li Yubai watched everything from the sidelines, thinking, this kid He Lian is really strong.

Say the same thing.

This day passed like a roller coaster, Li Yubai returned home, slumped on the sofa physically and mentally exhausted, before he had time to feel that the work was difficult, a black shadow fell from the sky and hit his belly.

Li Yubai was dizzy for a while after being hit, and when he looked closely, it was his family's English short that was too fat to recognize its original breed.The briquette-like fat cat licked its paws nonchalantly, and when its golden eyes met his resentful gaze, it narrowed dangerously, which meant "if you dare to say that I am wrong, I will immediately show you the power of cats".

"Sage of poetry, you continue." Li Yubai said.

The black cat named Du Fu glanced at him again, and Li Yubai quickly stretched out his hand and started purring on its back.After serving Du Fu comfortably, he finally sighed, his stomach still aching.

There was a commotion outside, and a middle-aged woman quickly walked out of the study: "You're back?"

Li Yubai raised his eyelids and said hello: "Mom."

Guan Xiaonian is nearly fifty, with a poetic spirit in his belly, and with proper maintenance, he looks much younger than his peers. Seeing Li Bai's sluggish face, she poured him a cup of tea: "What's wrong?"

Li Yubai simply said that it was cold outside, so he didn't say anything more.Guan Xiao was not annoyed at him either, and returned to the study by himself after a few words of comfort.

This is something even the fans don't know.

Li Yubai's father and grandfather were both doctors. His father taught at a university after his qualifications were improved, and his mother was also a professor at the same university. They could be regarded as an out-and-out intellectual family.He didn't publicize it, and he never said it outside, just because his father had a stubborn prejudice against his choice.

At first he applied for volunteering, and his father wanted him to follow his father’s career to study medicine. Li Yubai had no interest in this, and did not dare to fight blatantly, so he sneaked into the study in the middle of the night and turned on the computer to change his volunteering, and went to the same university chemistry major.When the admission notice arrived, it was already a done deal, and my dad made a fuss and didn't say anything about him.

If it is said that changing one's choice is a trivial matter and cannot cause trouble, then his behavior of becoming a trainee in his junior year and then making his debut as an idol is a naked "bad deed".

Up to now, I can't hold my head up very much at home. Fortunately, Li Yubai had a hard time and got his bachelor's degree certificate in his busy schedule. Otherwise, he might have been kicked out by his strict family tradition.

His family has a strict father and a loving mother, and a younger brother who is in high school. Compared with him, he is a good boy.

There are many things in my heart that I don't want to talk about, Li Yubai thought with his eyes down, even if Pei Mian and the others asked, maybe he just put it in a perfunctory way.In his opinion, the path he is currently taking is not considered a success, and he doesn't like to continue. If He Lian hadn't joined suddenly, the first thing he would do when he came back today would be to admit his mistake to Guan Xiao.

Others would not understand why Li Yubai thought it was a mistake, so he never said it.

After playing with the cat on the sofa for a while, Li Yubai glanced at the wall clock reflexively when he heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole.When he opened the door, he looked over and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy leaning against the wall to take off his sneakers.

The black and red AJs are exactly the same as He Lian's pair.

Li Yubai was a little surprised.

But I can't figure out why I was surprised.

Because the younger brother suddenly owned this pair of expensive sneakers, he still thought of He Lian at this time.

"You're back." Seeing him, Li Shanqing greeted him in a nonchalant manner, and then he didn't ask a word, leaving only this polite and distant greeting, put the basketball shoes on the shelf, and went back to the room to close them the door.

Before Li Yubai even had time to respond, he pursed his lips.

Everyone in the circle of friends of Mom and Dad knew that he had two sons, both of whom were very promising.The elder brother is a star—after all, you can’t expect the elders to distinguish the difference between idols, variety shows and actors, etc.—and the younger brother is the best high school in the city, the best grade one, and won the Olympiad.

I completely forgot that my brother also holds a diploma from a top university.

This is one of the reasons why he hates Li Shanqing so much.

With Li Shanqing around, he and his parents had nothing to talk about, like an outsider, eating and dying all day long.

Du Fu, who was resting on his belly, let out a soft meow, and Li Yubai rubbed its head: "Hungry? I'm the only one who can understand what you're talking about, just wait."

He opened a can, fed the cat, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he went to the study and told Guan Xiao that he had something to do, and he changed his shoes and rushed out the door—as embarrassing as if he was running away, Li Yubai thought.

In the end, he ate a bowl of noodles at the entrance of the community. He didn't want to go home against the cold wind, so he went into the well-heated Starbucks to find an empty seat, and took out his mobile phone to play mentally handicapped games.

Halfway through the mini-game, a message box popped up at the top of the screen, from the group they just created.

He Lian: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture] The second-hand house will be cleaned up quickly, when will you come [very happy]

It has to be said that the moment this news fell into his eyes, it was like a needle pricking his lower eyelid lightly, and he almost forced tears.Li Yubai attributed the sudden sentimentality to the double grievances of the company and his family. He didn't say anything, but it didn't mean he never took it to heart.

Thinking of this incident later, He Lian obviously didn't say anything, but inexplicably saved his rare collapse.

He put down the hot milk with vanilla syrup in his hand, picked up the phone with both hands and started typing.Li Yubai adjusted the wording several times before deleting, deleting, modifying and modifying, and finally clicked the send button.

Li Yubai: Is anyone there at night?

He Lian:?

Li Yubai: I can go there after I pack a few clothes

He Lian: ...

He Lian: I am here

Li Yubai: Address

Soon He Lian sent him a location, attached the unit number of the community, and enthusiastically added that you don't need to bring blankets and everything here, brand new.The landlord must not be so considerate of the tenants. When Li Yubai was walking home, he couldn't stop laughing just thinking about He Lian jumping up and down to clean up the so-called "men's team dormitory".

So much so that when he got home, his depression had disappeared without a trace.

Dad probably went to the hospital and was not there all the time, while Guan Xiao and Li Shanqing were sitting on the sofa, one was watching a TV series, the other was holding his mobile phone, frowning, and swiping his fingers from time to time—maybe he was watching the scientific research official account.

Li Yubai didn't speak to them. He walked into the room by himself, dragged out a 26-inch trolley case from under the bed, wiped off the dust, opened the closet and began to put the clothes in it.

At first, it was winter, with a down jacket, a coat, and a turtleneck sweater on one side, and underwear, socks, and pajamas on the other side.Li Yubai went to the bathroom to get his facial cleanser and razor, put the towel and toothbrush into a separate storage bag, thought about it when he returned to the room, and brought a few more clothes from other seasons until the whole big box was filled .

After finishing the work and pushing out the door, Li Yubai carried a pair of shoes and changed into a pair of Martin boots himself.A navy blue checkered scarf was wrapped outside a coat of the same color. He picked up the key and slipped the sleeping Du Futi into his arms from the cat climbing frame.

"Where are you going?" Guan Xiao finally asked.

Li Yubai gritted his teeth, trying not to hide his expression: "Live with teammates."

Guan Xiao stared at him with a strange expression, which was familiar to Li Yubai—from childhood, whenever he did not meet his parents’ expectations, Guan Xiao would look at him like this—but now that he has grown up, his dearest It is a cat, holding a bank card with its own name, ready to run away from home in a panic at any time.

"Go." Guan Xiao let go, and touched Li Shanqing next to him with his knee, "Say goodbye to your brother."

Li Shanqing snorted from his nose, signaling him to get out of here.

Can't stay for a moment.

Going out, taking the elevator, leaving the community, taking a taxi and giving the address He Lian gave, Li Yubai sat with the cat in his arms for a long time, finally recovering from the suffocating tension.

He picked up his mobile phone and texted He Lian: "I'm leaving."

He Lian: I bought a supper and waited for you^^

Li Yubai: ...Thank you
