Comparable species

Lu Weiyang sat at the end of the long table with his tablet in his arms and looked around. This was the first time that all members of his team were present.When he raised his elbow a little, it would touch the arm of the person next to him, so he could only squeeze his arms and legs and curl up on the seat.

The most relaxed person in the audience, apart from the principal, Kang Ruwen, was Xia Shishen, who was sitting by the door with his legs crossed.

Kang Ruwen stood up from her seat, her black curly hair loosely tied behind her head fell to her chest, she put her hands on the table, and clicked twice on the photo on the table with her index finger painted in nude nail polish.

"Because of this photo." Kang Ruwen turned her head, glanced past Xia Shishen who was sitting beside him with an expressionless face, and scanned the room, "The Asia-Pacific correspondent of Card C called me three times and asked me Do you know what brand value is?"

Kang Ruwen pinched the corner of the photo, and smiled deeply at Xia Shi, "In the neighborhood where you live, the main street lights don't turn on until after ten o'clock in the evening."

"I don't ask you why you go out with an empty plastic bag in the middle of the night." Kang Ruwen raised her hand and threw the photo back on the table.

"This one, because you were standing in front of the trash can in the middle of the night sorting garbage." Kang Ruwen paused, "You, the company, and I were listed on the hot search for 24 hours."

"Fans need me to explain whether Xia Shishen was hidden by me, so he would be free until midnight every day to sort garbage."

Kang Ruwen stepped on stilettos and returned to the main seat. She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, flipped through a few pages, pretended to be unintentional, and flattened her mouth: "Oh yes, and I went crazy at the event today, which led to the failure of the investment in the next play." .”

"I don't ask any more questions."

Everyone sitting around the long table didn't dare to show their anger. They watched Kang Ruwen walk up to Xia Shishen, dragged a chair and sat opposite him.She leaned forward and met his gaze through Xia Shi's deep vertical eyelashes.

Kang Ruwen rested her chin on her hand, she grinned, revealing the small dimples around her lips, and said softly, "But oh."

"Who is Qi Yan?"

The man who had been lowering his eyelashes moved slightly, Xia Shishen raised his eyelids, and his gaze swept over the shiny lip gloss on the woman's lips.

"Writing news copy."

"Are you familiar?" Kang Ruwen replied quickly, with the smile on her face undiminished.

Xia Shishen met Kang Ruwen's gaze, he pulled the corner of his lips, and answered quickly: I don't know.

It was unclear whether Kang Ruwen was satisfied with the answer, so Lu Weiyang took advantage of the time when the person in the main seat turned around, and breathed out in a low voice.Kang Ruwen is a typical southern woman. She has a charming appearance and a soft voice. In the past few years in the company, he has never seen Kang Ruwen speak harshly.Relying on those soft and thorny methods, she walked to her current position step by step.

"Because Lu Weiyang didn't have timely public relations, he was removed from the trending search, and his performance in the next three months was cancelled."

"The additional PR copy is too bad, please write a new one and send it to me within half an hour."

"Contact Lawyer Qin and ask him to issue a warning letter, don't write the date yet." Kang Ruwen spoke very fast, she stared at the laptop on the table without lifting it, and occasionally people who didn't keep up with her just tilted He glanced at the electronic screen of the person beside him, and dared not make a sound.

"Linda, please contact Qian Youwei from Nansheng." Kang Ruwen closed the computer, "In about an hour, if he can't spare the time, tell him to bear the consequences."

Just as Kang Ruwen took a step, Xia Shishen, who was sitting by the door, got up one step ahead of her and stood at the door. He turned around and said in a normal tone, "Give me a lift."

Standing face to face with Xia Shishen like this, Kang Ruwen realized that she hadn't seen Xia Shishen for a long time, she was thinner than six years ago, but her eyes were still shockingly beautiful.

"Do you want to have a phone call with President Shan?" Kang Ruwen's words were ambiguous, she folded her arms and looked at Xia Shishen, "Otherwise, if you want to keep the investment in that drama, your starring role may not be guaranteed. "

"It will be replaced by Ren Xiaonian." Kang Ruwen added.

Xia Shishen put his hands in his pockets, he seemed to lower his head and think for a while, then raised his head and sighed a little embarrassed.

"But my schedule for the afternoon is full, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make time for that fat man."

Kang Ruwen nodded, left a sentence to wait for him in the parking lot, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.Xia Shishen put on his hat slowly, looked at the projection on the glass door, and leaned slightly to smooth his wrinkled collar.

Lu Weiyang ran to his side with his laptop in his arms, looked at the elevator and said in an indignant tone, "I knew it would be a bad thing for Ren Xiaonian to come back! I'm thinking about your play before he arrives!"

Seeing that Xia Shishen was about to leave, Lu Weiyang hurriedly grabbed his hem, "But, I remember you don't have any plans this afternoon..."

"I just arranged it." Xia Shishen reached out and put on the hood of the sweater, his whole face hidden in the shadows.

"Why are you going?"

Xia Shishen took out the mask and hung it on his left ear, because the movement was too big, the sweater hat on his head fell back.The black mask completely covered most of Xia Shishen's face. His hands went around to pull the hat behind his head, and his voice was muffled through the mask: "Buy coffee."

The seat next to the window was hot from the sun, like a sealed container filled with hot air.Xia Shi's tall and slender body was nestled in the seat, and his right leg was stretched to the front seat along the gap of the seat. He was wearing a loose thin sweater and turned sideways, with his head against the window glass, without moving.

On the way to Nansheng, Kang Ruwen hardly stopped talking on the phone. She stared at the tablet on her lap, and relaxedly rejected the third plan made by the company team.The video conference on the screen was still going on, and the phone at hand suddenly vibrated, she connected it casually, and said to the receiver in a moderate voice: "The next part is almost finished, I will let Lin Da sent you the first half of the script."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Kang Ruwen covered her mouth and laughed wildly, but her eyes drifted unconsciously to Xia Shishen beside her.

He still maintained the initial posture.

The car just stopped at the back door of the building. Xia Shishen seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He tilted his head and stretched on the seat. He stretched out his hand to open the car door, turned around to say hello to Kang Ruwen, and got out of the car quickly. .

Just as the car was about to start, Kang Ruwen said to wait, she watched Xia Shishen lower her body and walk into the cafe quickly.

The lights in the corridor shone brightly on Xia Shishen's side face. Because of the long waiting time, the ice cubes in the coffee had already melted, and the liquid like traditional Chinese medicine gradually turned into a translucent amber color.The water vapor condensed on the wall of the cup, and the sparse drops of water fell down the palm of the hand and into the cuff, leaching a piece of water color.

The number above the elevator stopped at 1, and with a ding, a man in a light-colored shirt came out of the elevator with a black wallet with a big logo under his arm.

The man was obviously taken aback by the sudden appearance of the masked man. His eyes widened and he took two steps back. He pointed his stubby fingers at him for a long time, his lips were trembling, and he didn't say a word.

Xia Shishen pulled the mask up to his chin, revealing a thin chin and tight lips.

Qian Youwei was stunned for a moment, took two steps closer, half-closed his eyes, and said in an unbelievable tone: "... Xia Xia Shishen?"

Xia Shishen took two steps back to widen the distance, and nodded lightly. Qian Youwei's yellow eyes shone brightly, and he saw that his hand was about to pull on Xia Shishen's sleeve.

"Where's the paparazzi." Xia Shishen's voice was hoarse after he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Qian Youwei's hand that wanted to pull his sleeve was hanging in the air, he asked with some doubts: "Who?"

"Qi Yan."

"Oh." Qian Youwei continued, "Today, he is scheduled to rest."

Qian Youwei looked at the mobile phone stretched out in front of him in bewilderment, Xia Shishen put on his mask again, and blinked slowly twice.

"Give me his home address."

There were a few low clouds floating in the dark gray sky. Qi Yan, who was carrying two bags full of vegetables, stood on the path and looked up. He felt that the two clouds above his head were frighteningly black, as if they would fall down at any moment. heavy rain.

Qi Yan sighed, and he changed the position of the plastic bag that weighed about the same as that of his left and right hands, which would make him feel lighter symbolically.

The cicadas chirped endlessly on the trees on both sides. Qi Yan put the bag on the ground and turned around to look back.

Except for the stray cat lying on the trash can, there was no one in the empty alley, and the footsteps I heard just now were like hallucinations.

Qi Yan picked up the bag and quickened his pace towards the door of the house.

The knuckles were strangled by the heavy plastic bag, but Qi Yan didn't dare to stop and rest, his steps became messy due to panic.Until the mouth of the plastic bag on the left hand cracked due to overwhelm, and finally got out of control, and the whole part broke from the handle.

The green lettuce rolled down the slope of the asphalt road, Qi Yan hurried to pick it up, he squatted on the bed, and used his hands in a weird-looking posture to catch the lettuce that was about to move.The heart that he had just let go, was suspended again because of the figure cast in front of him.

Qi Yan squatted on the ground, holding the dusty lettuce in both hands, and stared at the figure on the ground.

The old newspapers on the steps were blown up by the wind, Qi Yan stood up with the corners of his lips pursed, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then turned around.

The person in front of him was wearing a loose long-sleeved sweater, and a black mask almost covered most of his face, only his eyes were still clear in the darkness.

The trash can next to him smelled of rotting food, and the grass seemed to echo his uneasiness. Qi Yan watched the person in front of him take off his mask. He lowered his eyelashes and glanced at the disheveled lettuce in his hand. , and then the gaze returned to his face.

It was still bad in his impression, Xia Shishen didn't intend to help him carry the bag.

Qi Yan watched him put the hand hanging by his side into his pocket, and then said lightly, "I'm lost."
