The light in the bathroom was dim, and the copper-colored faucet carved in the shape of a rose gave off a soft and bright luster under the light. The cool stream of water washed away the wine-red liquid on Qi Yan's hands, leaving traces on the porcelain-white sink.

The lighting above the door frame was half blocked, Xia Shishen's tall figure was projected on the marble countertop, and the clear scent of cold pine perfume dilutes the strong smell of alcohol in the room.

"The wine you spilled on your hand is 97 Romanee-Conti. It costs about 1500 dollars a bottle, and the half bottle you spilled costs about 600 yuan." A bottle of aged vinegar.

Xia Shishen looked at Qi Yan, his light brown pupils were like translucent glass beads, and under the light, people felt flustered.

"Since you are my employee now, you rely on me to make money." Xia Shishen leaned against the door frame, with his hands crossed over his chest, showing his beautiful wrist bones, "I promise you to owe it first."

Qi Yan didn't speak, he turned around, took out a piece of paper from the paper holder hanging on the wall, dried every finger carefully, rolled up the paper towel and pinched it in the palm of his hand.

"When did you know." Qi Yan stood in place and looked up at him.

"Charity reception." Xia Shishen replied, looking at Qi Yan's wet eyes, he suddenly felt a small piece of his heart sink, "Maybe earlier."

"Every time you park the white van downstairs of my house, the telephoto lens is too conspicuous, and the footsteps are too loud when you follow up."

Probably because he couldn't see Qi Yan's increasingly serious gaze, Xia Shishen ignored the shortcomings of Qi Yan's forgetting to remove the lens cap, and the fact that he was too slow to follow the camera. He pursed his lips and said that was about the same.

Qi Yan lowered his head and smiled, he spread out his palms, revealing the crumpled paper balls, smoothing the wrinkles while talking.

"You smoke downstairs, take out the garbage in the middle of the night, and walk around wearing a hat." As if there was an obstacle in the way to smooth the paper ball, Qi Yan paused for a while, and then said: "It's all done on purpose for me to see. of."

"Xia Shishen." Qi Yan raised his head, blinked his eyes twice slowly, and chuckled a little tiredly, "Are you kidding me?"

Xia Shi was taken aback for a moment, the arm wrapped around his chest fell to his side at some point, and he didn't know how to answer.Qi Yan's question baffled him, just like a student who has been preparing for the exam all the time, only to find out that what he was reviewing for was not the test center on the day of the exam.

Xia Shishen was a little dazed, Lu Weiyang said that he would tease cats and dogs when he was too free, and he seemed to be teasing Qi Yan.

But it seems not.

Qi Yan stood motionless by the wall, Xia Shishen avoided Qi Yan's gaze, stared at the mirror hanging on the wall, and replied calmly: "Not really."

Xia Shishen was telling the truth, but for some reason, Qi Yan's face became even uglier.

Qi Yan didn't answer, Xia Shishen could see Qi Yan's face from the baroque mirror, that face looked a little lonely because of the red eyes and the straight corners of the mouth.

"I heard you're resigning."

Qi Yan shook his head, "No, I need money."

Xia Shi tensed his jaw deeply before suppressing the corners of his upturned mouth. It may be that nothing went well recently, which made him so happy to hear that Qi Yan didn't resign.

"I've talked with your boss. From now on, your manuscript can be directly connected with my assistant..."

"But I won't shoot you anymore." Qi Yan interrupted Xia Shishen, his back was pressed against the tile wall, and he couldn't help shivering from the cold touch.

It took Xia Shishen a while before he asked, "Then who are you photographing?"

Qi Yan lowered his head and said he didn't know, and then added, "But I won't shoot you again."

Xia Shishen suppressed the steps he wanted to take towards Qi Yan, he watched Qi Yan's hand holding the paper ball gradually relax, then turned around and threw it into the trash can.An inexplicable irritability welled up in Xia Shishen's heart, like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He clearly remembered that the thorn was very thin and soft, but now it seemed like it was going to prick him to bleed.

"Whatever."

Qi Yan looked at Xia Shishen and raised his eyebrows indifferently. His beautiful wrist bones were hidden in the sleeves of his overlong jacket. He turned around and disappeared in front of the door without looking at him.

The body against the wall was like a ball of quicksand, flowing down uncontrollably.Qi Yan took a deep breath, walked to the sink and turned on the faucet again, and washed his hands carefully again.He used too much force, and his knuckles turned red, like erythema on a skin patient.

When Qi Yan returned to the box, Xia Shishen had already left.

Qian Youwei was busy dismantling the king crab on the plate, and when he saw Qi Yan standing at the door, he said without raising his head: "Xia Shishen said that there is still a schedule to go tonight, aren't you in a hurry to go home?" ?”

"You can go first." Qian Youwei took out a long strip of orange crab meat from the thin crab shell, and stuffed his mouth bulging.

Probably because there are too many expensive seafood, the braised pork on the Jun porcelain plate has not been touched, and the oil is shiny.

"Can I pack and order food?" Qi Yan met Qian Youwei's gaze, and he pointed to the unattended plate on the far side, "Just a piece of braised pork."

Qian Youwei put down his chopsticks and leaned back, revealing his unbuttoned belly.

"In the future, I will come out more often to see the world, and I won't pick the cheapest braised pork among a bunch of good dishes."

Qi Yan smiled and said nothing.

There was not much time delay. When Qi Yan came home, the old lady was still awake. She was sitting on the massage sofa, listening to the bloody dialogue between men and women in the TV series with half-closed eyes.

Qi Yan pulled a bench and put the opened packing box on it.

Lin Yiling sniffed, she didn't raise her eyes, but shook her head twice with a smile, mumbling indistinctly about braised pork.Lin Yiling has few teeth left, but it doesn't seem to affect her eating meat.She ate a whole piece with her deflated mouth. The old lady's mouth was full of red oil, and she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up another piece.

"It's hard to digest if you eat too much meat at night." Qi Yan wiped her mouth with a piece of paper.

"It's okay, I can leave it in the coffin to digest slowly." Lin Yiling probably felt that her words were very humorous, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Qi Yan also laughed, and it lasted less than two seconds.

The clock hand slipped past eleven o'clock, Lu Weiyang sat in the driver's seat and turned his head, Xia Shi was hidden in the darkness, sitting motionless behind the car.

It has been nearly two and a half hours since Xia Shishen left the hotel expressionlessly.Xia Shishen asked him to turn off the car and park it downstairs in this residential building. Lu Weiyang remembered that he came here to pick up Xia Shishen.

Lu Weiyang was dull, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.During this period of time, there was a dead silence in the car, Lu Weiyang could see and didn't speak, he could even hear Xia Shi's deep breathing clearly.

Xia Shishen has a guest appearance in a night scene in the early hours of this morning. He will drive from the northernmost point to the southernmost point before preparing for makeup and hair.

He shouldn't be wasting time in this shabby neighborhood.

The light on the upper floor next to him went out again, and Lu Weiyang seemed to hear the breathing of the person behind him stagnate for a few seconds, and then let out a long breath.

"Let's go."

When the car started, Xia Shishen looked away. He was very glad that Lu Weiyang didn't ask him why he was waiting here.

To see if someone has the answer to get new curtains, stupid.

And he didn't change it.
