The Eye of the Storm

Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe walked to the door to see him off. As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere changed immediately.

Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye. Cao Ye had no expression on his face, his head was slightly lowered, and he was still holding the handheld camera in his hand.He always had a three-point smile on his face, but now he stopped smiling suddenly, and his shoulders slumped. He was not as lively as usual, and he looked in a terrible mood.

Liang Sizhe sighed in his heart, this lie still didn't work out, maybe he should have done it better at the beginning, such as talking to Zheng Yin or something, but he couldn't bother Zheng Yin because of this kind of thing.

The two walked back one after the other, and sat face to face on their respective beds.

"Then what..."

"Liang Sizhe."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he bumped into it, and at the same time closed his mouth.

"Tell me." Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye.

Cao Ye looked up at him: "So it's not my dad who asked someone to install the air conditioner, right?"

Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that maybe he could still struggle a bit: "It was really your father who told me that morning, if you don't believe me..."

"I believe you are a ghost." Cao Ye interrupted him, turning his head and muttering in a low voice, "This is really a man's mouth, a man's mouth... what's the next sentence?"

The proprietress kept saying this a few days ago. Cao Ye probably thought it was interesting, so she repeated it twice at the time, but now she couldn't pick up the last half of the sentence.Seeing that Cao Ye was still in the mood to say these words, Liang Sizhe heaved a sigh of relief, and joked with him, "Aren't you a man?"

"I've never lied to anyone." Cao Ye retorted, looking up at Liang Sizhe, "So you actually installed the air conditioner, right?"

It's meaningless to continue this lie, Liang Sizhe could only admit it and said: "Hmm..."

"So he never asked me if I was hot or not?" Before Liang Sizhe could speak, he immediately followed up, "Don't lie."

"This..." Liang Sizhe looked at him for two seconds, and replied helplessly, "Yes."

Cao Ye suddenly looked downcast and said, "So he didn't buy me the breakfast that day at all." This time, he didn't even ask a question.

"This isn't..." Liang Sizhe quickly explained, "It is true that he bought the breakfast, and he specifically asked me to bring it to you."

Cao Ye bent down, put his elbows on his thighs, and covered his face with his hands: "You still want to lie to me."

Now even the truth has become false, Liang Sizhe said with a wry smile: "I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can call your dad about breakfast."

"You know I can't fight."

Liang Sizhe was sitting across from him, looking at him with some worry, with his nervous credits on his face, Cao Ye probably wouldn't believe anything he said now.

"You deceitful ghost." Cao Ye said after a while.

"Ok?"

"I remembered the second part of the sentence." Cao Ye muffled.

After Liang Sizhe came to his senses, he laughed out of nowhere. He looked at the top of his head facing Cao Ye, and the little hair twirling in the center. He wondered why this kid is so cute when he is angry... …

"Your dad came over that day..." Liang Sizhe was about to say something to comfort Cao Ye, but Cao Ye interrupted him immediately.

"Don't speak for him!"

"I'm not speaking for him. I don't need to blame myself for what he did. Your father is not indifferent to you. He—"

"Don't comfort me either!" Cao Ye said again.

Liang Sizhe didn't know what to say, he didn't want others to comfort him when he was sad.Seeing that Cao Ye kept his face buried, he tentatively turned his face to look at him: "...are you crying?"

"You're crying!" Cao Ye still didn't look up, but there was no sound of crying in his voice, "Don't comfort me, it's too embarrassing, I should have guessed it a long time ago, how could he think of installing the air conditioner for me, He even got angry about Uncle Yin ordering food for me, how could he install the air conditioner for me, and he doesn't know if I'm afraid of the heat..."

Liang Sizhe was both distressed and funny, he wanted to coax him and tease him at the same time, the two thoughts clashed in his mind, and finally looked at Cao Ye who was facing him with his face buried, and still couldn't help but want to tease him.It's so cute, I can't help but want to tease it.

Maybe teasing is better than comforting, Liang Sizhe guessed, he thought for a while and said: "That... I didn't want to comfort you, I wanted to say something else."

"Then go ahead." Cao Ye really let go.

"I want to say..." Liang Sizhe deliberately stopped in the middle of the sentence, Liang Sizhe knew how to whet people's appetite the most.

Cao Ye really took the bait, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see the other half of the sentence. He raised his head from the palm of his hand and asked in doubt, "Huh?"

Only then did Liang Sizhe look at him, and said solemnly: "Actually, you can also call me Dad, I don't mind."

"...you go away!" Cao Ye exploded as expected.But it didn't look really angry, it looked like a cat that raised its claws to scratch someone after being teased.

"Just kidding." Liang Sizhe laughed.

"Oops!" Cao Ye suddenly yelled.Then he took the hand-held camera that was still on the side, lowered his head and turned off the recording, and clicked playback, "I forgot to turn it off, I just recorded a lot of empty shots, I want to delete this part."

"Don't delete it." Liang Sizhe stopped, "Leave a souvenir."

"There's nothing to keep here..." Cao Ye muttered, "Shame on me."

The phone on the bed vibrated, Liang Sizhe took it over to have a look, Zheng Yin sent a text message: "Sizhe go downstairs, don't call Xiao Ye."

"Uncle Yin asked me to go down, maybe he asked about the air conditioner." Liang Sizhe stood up, "Don't delete it."

"Understood." Cao Ye responded unwillingly, but he still didn't delete that paragraph, turned off the camera and put it aside, and continued to sit on the bed with slumped shoulders in a daze.

Zheng Yin went downstairs a while ago, and first asked the proprietress about the air conditioner, but she didn't ask anything. Liang Sizhe did a good job in this scene, and even the proprietress insisted that "Director Cao asked someone to install it".

Zheng Yin opened the door to get into the car, started the engine, stepped on the brake and turned it off——Why did Liang Sizhe do this?How did you think of installing an air conditioner in the room in the name of Cao Xiuyuan?If it's just out of good intentions to comfort a friend, it's really troublesome, how many lies you have to tell back and forth to make it work...

And Liang Sizhe left him with the impression that he didn't seem like a character who would pay more attention to unrelated people... That child has a very unique personality, Zheng Yin can see it.Then, the scene of the two sitting side by side on the opposite bed just now flashed before his eyes, and a strange feeling flashed across his mind. The two teenagers who seemed to have very different personalities before, gave him an inexplicable similar feeling when they sat in front of him just now. ...

I had to talk to Liang Sizhe. Zheng Yin took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then took out his phone and sent a message.He wanted to test Liang Sizhe's thinking, whether it was a big deal or a small thing, but if it really led Cao Ye astray, he couldn't explain it to Cao Xiuyuan - if he wanted to enter the entertainment circle, homosexuality was not the way to go. easy to go.

Liang Sizhe came down from upstairs, Zheng Yin was leaning against the side of the car, smoking a cigarette and waiting for him, wisps of white smoke covered half of his face.

Seeing him coming, Zheng Yin straightened up, pinched the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, walked back and looked at the young man in front of him: "Did Xiaoye not find out about the air conditioner?"

"Found it." Liang Sizhe said truthfully.

"What's his reaction?" Zheng Yin asked, looking at his face, the gentle temperament just now disappeared again, Liang Sizhe standing in front of him was still like a sharp blade.

"It's been a mess for a while, but it's better now." Liang Sizhe said.

"It's conceivable..." Zheng Yin smiled, "Sorry, I didn't expect you to install the air conditioner in advance, how could you think of finding someone to install the air conditioner in the name of Director Cao?"

His tone was ordinary, as if he was asking casually, but Liang Sizhe immediately felt a kind of vigilance in his heart. This vigilance even felt a little inexplicable to him. I installed the air conditioner, and it happened to be the day when Director Cao came over, so I sold my favor, but I didn't expect you to see it."

Zheng Yin glanced at him, the boy was still too young, he thought he could hide it from him, but in his opinion, he was trying to cover up... After all, he was still a young man who hadn't had much experience with the world.

"I didn't expect you to sell favors," he smiled, and knocked calmly, "Xiaoye is Director Cao's only son, so it's not bad for you to sell favors, but he is still young and doesn't understand anything. I'm afraid you'll sell this favor for nothing." Every sentence was insinuating, and he thought that Liang Sizhe should understand what he meant.

Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it, it's a matter of convenience."

"However, since I know about it," Zheng Yin raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I have accepted this favor for him, and I will definitely find a chance to repay you later."

"Thank you Uncle Yin," Liang Sizhe said, "Then I'll go upstairs."

Zheng Yin watched him go upstairs and pondered for a while, whether he asked the proprietress to open another room to separate them. Liang Sizhe's cautious and cautious attitude didn't seem like a character that would say it casually.

In this case, let him hide it, who doesn't have something hidden in his heart... Zheng Yin walked to the side of the car, opened the door and sat in.

Liang Sizhe walked up the stairs, and stood outside the door for a while before pushing the door in. Even he himself couldn't explain why he lied just now. He just told the truth. What was he worrying about...

The words that Zheng Yin said were also a little strange, as if they were separated by a vague screen window, he wanted to get closer to see clearly, but he was afraid of seeing what he didn't want to see.

Don't want to think about it.

I didn't dare to think deeply.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, Cao Ye was still sitting in the original position, looking as if he was in a daze, and he came back to his senses when he heard the door ring and looked up at Liang Sizhe: "What does Uncle Yin want you for?"

"It's about the air conditioner." Liang Sizhe closed the door behind his back and walked in.

"Oh." Cao Ye said.Liang Sizhe felt that he was not very happy. Cao Ye seldom hid his emotions. He always had a smile on his face, not pretending, but because he really lived a carefree life.But now he is quiet and sullen, which is enough to prove that he is really unhappy now.

The past few afternoons were spent discussing the script. Today Cao Ye said that he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while, obviously he just slept at noon.

He slept on his stomach with his face turned sideways, with the back of his head facing Liang Sizhe. Except for the time when Cao Xiuyuan came two months ago, he had never slept in this position since then.

Liang Sizhe felt that he might have screwed up, maybe Cao Ye didn't want to be deceived by such self-righteous good intentions at all.

He sat on the bed, flipping through the script absently, and glanced at Cao Ye every once in a while.Not thinking about the script, he couldn't help thinking, what kind of feelings does Cao Ye have for Cao Xiuyuan?When Cao Ye talked about Cao Xiuyuan in front of him, he actually had a somewhat proud tone, not the kind of showing off pride, but the pride that he thought Cao Xiuyuan was powerful from the bottom of his heart, but he never called Cao Xiuyuan, as if he was a little scared... ...Worship and awe, Liang Sizhe thought, probably such feelings.

So for Cao Ye, he is actually eager to gain Cao Xiuyuan's approval, right?In fact, the role of Xiaoman is not insignificant to him, is it?

He looked at Cao Ye, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Could it be that Cao Ye also thought about using the role of Xiaoman to become a blockbuster in front of his father Cao Xiuyuan?

If this role meant nothing to him, how could he obediently lie on the bed and read the script on the night of the conflict with Cao Xiuyuan?

At that time, he was actually holding a breath in his heart.

Wanting to prove that he is not a good-for-nothing dude in the eyes of Cao Xiuyuan.

This kid also has something hidden in his heart, although he never showed it.

What Cao Ye wanted was not just an air conditioner, what he really needed was Cao Xiuyuan's approval and concern.So the role of Xiaoman was very important to him, but he easily gave it up to himself.

Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye's back and thought, Xiaoman is yours, it was born for you, and it should be done by you.Go play him well and prove your father wrong.

But after a while, Liang Sizhe made a decision in his heart. He thought that he would leave quietly before the audition and return Xiaoman to Cao Ye. As for himself, fate should make its own arrangements.
