The Eye of the Storm

The woman across the table was the little boy's mother. She was afraid of delaying the progress of the crew, so she urged in a low voice: "Jiahao, sit back quickly."

Only then did Xiaomeng walk back, climbed onto the chair and sat down, and grinned at Cao Ye twice.

Cao Ye also smiled at him, the auras of the two were very compatible, and after a while, it seemed that they had formed an alliance of friends.Before turning his eyes back, Cao Ye took another look at Liang Sizhe. Liang Sizhe had lowered his head and was turning the pages of the script, but the faint smile on his face seemed to have not disappeared.

After this little episode, the crew continued to read the script.Xiaomeng was just reading the passage before being abandoned by his mother, when his slightly childish voice came out, the strange atmosphere of silence before gradually came alive.

Cao Ye absently listened to their discussion of the content of the script. He always felt that everyone present saw that something was wrong between him and Liang Sizhe, but they all tacitly pretended to be confused, thinking that this is the so-called guilty conscience...

Liang Sizhe's voice sounded from the opposite side, it was a kind of lazy, bummed-out tone: "I don't have the money to pay you back... Don't mention yesterday's scene, fuck, you didn't see yesterday's scene, I was about to be beaten to death Well, the medical expenses are all discounted, brother, you have to save some money for me to eat."

He entered the state very quickly, obviously there is no trace of acting on his face, but just listening to his voice can make people enter the scene.Liang Sizhe who said before that "Brother Sizhe also agrees" is completely different from Liang Sizhe.

This man is mine.This idea suddenly popped up in Cao Ye's mind.

Everyone can see the crazy Scar, the repressed Xiao Man, the enchanting Li Nian, the silent Lu Hechuan on the screen...but only he can see the other side of Liang Sizhe that he never shows to the camera.

Obviously not a person with a desire for monopoly, but thinking of these still has a very hidden sense of satisfaction.

He thought about it wildly until he heard the dull sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground, someone standing up and stretching next to him, and the sound of chattering. Only then did Cao Ye come back to his senses, realizing that the script reading session was over.

Du Zhui accepted the script and said with a smile to Cao Ye, "It's boring, right? You've been in a daze."

"I've read this script five or six times." Cao Ye stood up and smiled at him, "I can almost memorize it."

He intentionally slowed down a few steps towards the door, waiting for Liang Sizhe to come around from the other side.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to be so familiar with Sizhe." Walking out of the meeting room, Du Zhui and a few crew members followed, "You must have known each other for many years, right?"

"Hasn't the media already talked about it?" The assistant director answered from the side, "We competed in "Thirteen Days"."

"And you were in a life-and-death competition," the photographer also interjected, "is there such a thing?"

For so many years, this is the only report on Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye in the media, but this statement alone is enough to make people think about various details and processes.

"Guess." Liang Sizhe smiled and glanced at the photographer.

"It's a secret again." The photographer knew Liang Sizhe very well, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

The closer the room was, the more guilty Cao Ye felt. Just now the whole group noticed that they were wearing the same clothes, and now they were actually living in the same room. He almost felt like they had not announced to the world that they were officially together last night.

Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at him at this moment: "Didn't you have something to talk to me about in my room?"

"Okay." Cao Ye also looked at him and replied.

Once these words were laid out, it seemed much more natural to enter the same room together.

The two stopped at the door of the room, and a clear and childish voice sounded from behind: "Brother Sizhe." Then there was the sound of pattering footsteps, and Xiaomeng ran over and opened his palms to him: "Thank you I just told a play for me and gave you sweets."

"Okay," Liang Sizhe bent down, grabbed a few candies in his palm, and smiled at him, "Thank you too."

"To this brother too," Xiaomeng raised his palm to Cao Ye again, "What kind of brother are you?"

"Brother Xiao Ye." Liang Sizhe said for Cao Ye.

"Brother Xiao Ye." Xiao Meng repeated.

After Cao Ye grabbed a few candies from his palm, Xiao Meng raised his head and looked at the door of the room: "Do you live together?"

He had a loud voice, and his tone was full of envy, as if he also wanted to live with other children.

Two or three steps away, several people in the director's team still stood where they were, and they all listened clearly.

Cao Ye: ...

Tong Yan Wuji, professional dismantling.

This kid has a bright future ahead of him.

Xiao Meng didn't realize it, and didn't give them any time to explain, and ran towards Du with bumpy steps: "Uncle Director, I'll give you sweets too."

Du Zhui went to pinch Xiaomeng's face, and jokingly said as he walked, "I'll be an uncle, right..." He turned around and reminded the two of them, "Drink together at night, don't forget."

Several members of the director team walked away, Cao Ye looked at Liang Sizhe, and Liang Sizhe also looked at Cao Ye.Looking at each other for a few seconds, Liang Sizhe smiled and reminded in a low voice: "What are you doing, the room card is with you, forgot?"

"Oh yes." Only now did Cao Ye remember, he lowered his head and took out the key card to open the door.

Entering the house and walking into the living room, Cao Ye said with a guilty conscience, "Do you think they will see it?"

"They're all human beings," Liang Sizhe put the script on the table in front of the sofa, "You can guess it even if you don't see it, it's okay if you don't talk about the shirt..."

"I didn't know that children's memory would be so good."

Liang Sizhe glanced at the T-shirt on Cao Ye's body: "I just wore this shirt the day before yesterday when I was filming, and Xiao Meng kept running over to play with the zipper on the sleeve. You know how to pick it, and I happened to pick this one."

Cao Ye sat on the sofa, a little depressed and a little funny: "I didn't choose at all, I just took the top one."

"Oh, that's my fault," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "After the dry cleaning, I brought it over, and I just put it on it."

He finished and went to the bathroom.

When Cao Ye came out, he was sitting on the sofa, holding the zipper of his cuff with one hand, and was pulling it up and down.

The rain outside has lightened a bit, but the sky is still gloomy, and the living room with no lights turned on is dimly lit.

Liang Sizhe approached, and the water dispenser stopped aside to receive water: "It seems that children like to play with zippers."

Cao Ye stopped holding the zipper, "I'm only two years younger than you."

"Two years and three months." Liang Sizhe said, he took a glass of water and handed it to Cao Ye, and held the glass up to drink.

When he drank water, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and Cao Ye's eyes fell there, and he also swallowed, and then he felt a little thirsty.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and couldn't help but think back to Liang Sizhe ten years ago—was Liang Sizhe's Adam's apple so obvious when he drank water back then?It seems that I don't remember clearly.

Liang Sizhe's side face was outlined with a beautiful arc by the dim light. Cao Ye looked at him and felt that the feeling of liking someone was really strange and unfamiliar.He couldn't move his eyes away, and he couldn't help being happy when he thought that the person in front of him belonged to him.

Liang Sizhe finished drinking the water, put the cup back on the table, walked over and sat next to Cao Ye.

He seemed a little tired, and leaned his head back on the sofa back, looking at the rain outside the window: "Do you want to go out for a walk in the afternoon?"

Cao Ye replied "Yes", and did the same as him, leaning his head back on the back of the sofa.

Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at Cao Ye, put his hands on the back of the sofa, and wrapped his fingers around Cao Ye's hair.

Cao Ye lowered his eyes to look at Liang Sizhe's lips, there was still a little water on it, obviously he just drank water, but at this moment he still felt a little thirsty.

He moved closer and licked the water stain on Liang Sizhe's lower lip.Then he backed away a little and looked at his lower lip, the water stain expanded, glowing faintly, and he felt thirstier, so he leaned closer and licked it again, and then, like Liang Sizhe sucked him last night, also Sucked Liang Sizhe.

Maybe it was because they drank water just now, this kiss was wetter than the previous few times, the lips touched and separated, making a slight sound.

"Liang Sizhe." Cao Ye said against his lips.

Liang Sizhe let out a "hmm".

But Cao Ye seemed to just want to call his name, and didn't intend to say anything, so he started to suck his lower lip again.

Liang Sizhe summed up a rule, Cao Ye was like a docile puppy when kissing, he could touch his hair unscrupulously.

After eating at the hotel at noon, the two of them left the room and planned to go for a walk.

It was a bit cold outside, so Cao Ye put on Liang Sizhe's denim jacket over his T-shirt. When he went out, he took a look at himself in the mirror and thought that this outfit really looked like Liang Sizhe's.If Cheng Duan was present, he might have to make another fuss.

When getting off the elevator, Cao Ye touched Liang Sizhe's shoulder, and looked up at the surveillance camera: "Will we be photographed?"

"Yes," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "What should I do if I get photographed?"

"It's okay to be photographed..." Cao Ye quickly found a reason, "A shoulder between friends can always explain it?"

He just wanted to put Liang Sizhe's shoulders on his shoulders. This feeling was like that at Lan Yan, he wanted to be next to Liang Sizhe no matter what he did.

Liang Sizhe smiled and said nothing.

Before getting out of the elevator, Liang Sizhe put on his hood, lowered his head slightly, and walked out of the hotel lobby with Cao Ye.

Few people go out on rainy days, and there are only a few waiters in the lobby, all of whom are absent-minded. When they react, two tall and long-legged people have already pushed the door out of the lobby, and they can only see the two people under the umbrella. back view.

Both of them were dressed in the style of Liang Sizhe, with their shoulders covered by a black umbrella, and it was impossible to tell which one was Liang Sizhe just from the back view.

The typhoon has probably passed through, and only the final tail is left. The wind has stopped, and the rain has reduced by half, but it still keeps falling.

The whole city was shut down for one day, and this place was located in a remote area on the outskirts of the city. There were few people and cars on the street, and it took a long time for a car to pass by.

After walking for a while, Cao Ye looked back and said, "Will there be paparazzi secretly taking photos?"

"The paparazzi are not that dedicated," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "They also have a holiday."

"Are they going to be on vacation too?"

"On rainy days, paparazzi rarely come out, so I have been looking forward to the rain because I can go out for a walk."

"Hmm." Cao Ye went to put Liang Sizhe's shoulders again, "So you won't be photographed like this, right?"

"Probably not." Liang Sizhe said.

They picked the path with few people and walked aimlessly.

The raindrops hit the umbrella surface, and the whole world seemed very clean.After walking for a while, Cao Ye wanted to take the handle of the umbrella from Liang Sizhe's hand. Liang Sizhe said, "How can you help me with the umbrella?"

Cao Ye said "Oh" and felt that this made sense, so he didn't insist on taking the umbrella over, and continued to hold Liang Sizhe.

They chatted naturally as they walked.At the beginning, we talked about the crew, but then the topic gradually shifted to Cao Ye.

Cao Ye didn't shy away from his experience in the past few years, but he didn't go into details. He only said that after Li You passed away, he applied for an internship in a film company abroad. The senior made films and started as a production assistant. Later, the producer gradually reassured him and let him run the project independently.

He said it lightly, but within two years, a total of four or five projects were invested in production and publicity. Liang Sizhe knew immediately that Cao Ye should have lived very hard in those two years, otherwise he would not have grown so fast.

"Later, I came across a Bollywood film. I thought it was quite suitable for the Chinese market, so I bought the distribution rights of that film with my mother's inheritance, and asked Chi Mingyao to help him contact his brother and talk to them. The cooperation sent this film to the mainland theaters, and then there was Luo Meng... As for Cheng Duan, he is my senior and has a lot of experience in film companies. We have cooperated before, and I heard that he has the intention of returning to China for development Thinking about it, I tried to find a way to dig him over. It's nothing special, I just hit the right one, and I'm just lucky."

"So it's Luo Meng's mascot?" Liang Sizhe glanced at him with a smile.

When his young man talked about his past experiences, he was calm and calm. He was no longer the little boy in the surveillance screen, squatting in the corner of the elevator and curling himself up to fear the wind and sand.He didn't know whether he should be happy for Cao Ye who was forced to grow up like this.

Without the experience of these five years, Cao Ye might still be that ignorant little dandy now... There is nothing wrong with being a little dandy all his life, the only thing is that the little dandy Cao Ye might not be with him.It's quite contradictory.

"Cao Ye," Liang Sizhe said with a soft sigh, "At that time, I didn't know that your mother was sick and couldn't accompany you..."

Halfway through his words, Cao Ye turned his face and looked at him: "Then if you knew, Liang Sizhe, would you come with me?"

"Yes," Liang Sizhe said, and thought about it for a while, "And I think there should be a better way to deal with it, such as asking Teacher Cao to postpone the shooting time or something."

After all, when I was young, I thought that if I took one step forward, there would be no way out, so I could only resolutely walk on the single-plank bridge. Little did I know that there are still many compromised roads in this world, which can accommodate two people walking side by side.

The two walked forward in silence for a while, and turned into an alley.

The buildings in the alleys were dilapidated, and the alleys were very narrow. The rainwater washed the ground and then flowed into the sewers on both sides.

On the opposite side of the building are small shops with dimly lit lights. The shop owner is sitting on the bench at the door, staring at the rain curtain, waiting boredly for customers to come to the door.

"Does this look like Yinsi ten years ago?" Cao Ye stopped and looked at the street.

Liang Sizhe also stopped: "It's pretty similar." Then he looked up at the gray building, "It looks more like the scene of "Thirteen Days" than Yinsi."

"Really, we should have been sent here at that time," Cao Ye hooked Liang Sizhe's shoulder, "Go in and have a look?"

They walked into the corridor, the door was very low, and the two of them had to lower their heads slightly to enter.Liang Sizhe put away the umbrella and walked in with Cao Ye.

The sensor light on the first floor seems to be broken, and the light in the stairs is dim, and we can only see things with the faint light leaking in from the door.

"There is also a basement here. Peng Yan came down from the stairs, and Xiaoman hid here and watched her secretly." Cao Ye recalled the content of the script, let go of Liang Sizhe's shoulders, and held his wrist, "Do you think it looks like it? Here." He walked down the stairs, stopped and turned to face Liang Sizhe.

The light in the cramped space was dim, but Cao Ye's eyes looked extraordinarily bright, like two warm glass beads glowing with light.

Liang Sizhe took a step closer, approached him, and looked into his eyes through the chaotic air.

They looked at each other, unable to tell who got closer to whom first, their lips touched, and they kissed again.

First they suck each other's lips like all the kisses of the day.

But Liang Sizhe felt that this was not enough. He raised his hand to press the back of Cao Ye's head, and pried open the gap between his teeth with the tip of his tongue. He didn't use much strength, as if he was still probing, but Cao Ye quickly stuck out the tip of his tongue. , entangled with him.

There was a sound of closing the door upstairs, and then a sound of footsteps, at first a little far away, and then quickly walked in, the heels of the shoes stepped on the old and dilapidated stairs, as if they were so close to the top of the head.

The kiss was like a secret adventure.

No one called to stop first, even though the footsteps kept approaching.

The man pushed open the door, and the iron door made a "squeak" sound, and then the sound of footsteps melted into the sound of rain, and the disturbed air gradually became quiet again, and then they heard the fine sound of saliva mingling between their lips and teeth.
