The Eye of the Storm

With the door open, Liang Sizhe leaned in and lowered the back of the co-pilot's seat so that Cao Ye could lean more comfortably, then bent down to fasten Cao Ye's seat belt.

As soon as the seat belt was buckled, Cao Ye stretched out his hand to pull it, frowning slightly, half-closed his eyes to look at Liang Sizhe, and muttered uncomfortably: "Don't strangle me, I want to vomit."

"I'll be home in a while, don't move." Liang Sizhe lightly held his wrist and asked him to loosen his seat belt.He looked down at Cao Ye, the dim light from the underground garage reflected on Cao Ye's face through the front window, and fell on his warm eyebrows and straight nose. Youthful appearance, but childish shadows can still be seen in the details.

If you can't drink, don't drink so much, Liang Sizhe looked at him and sighed, is it so important that the crew's friends are happy?But Cao Ye seems to be like this all the time. Ten years ago, he gave up the script for his happiness. Ten years later, he is happy for these crew friends who don’t have much friendship, and he will not refuse anyone who comes to toast.He looks like a dandy, but his heart is soft-hearted, but when others are happy, are you happy yourself?

Liang Sizhe raised the hand on the seat belt and rubbed it on Cao Ye's hair twice. The feel has not changed, it is as soft as before.

"Don't touch my head." Cao Ye closed his eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Liang Sizhe looked at him: "Why?"

"If you touch my head, I will..." Cao Ye stopped in the middle of speaking, probably realizing that he really won't grow any longer at his age.

Liang Sizhe looked at him and smiled, ignored Cao Ye's dissatisfaction and rubbed his hair twice, then closed the car door, walked to the other side of the car and sat in the driver's seat.

When the car started, the audio system automatically connected to Cao Ye's cell phone, and the jazzy episode of "The Darkest Choice" began to play.

Used to driving cars with automatic transmission, Cao Ye's car is really difficult to drive, he must always remember to switch gears, thanks to the fact that the road is not too congested at this time, otherwise driving this car would be quite exhausting.Liang Sizhe thought about the gears, probably only Cao Ye's fun-loving temperament would buy such a sports car on purpose and come back to toss around.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Ye, who was leaning on the co-pilot seat, uttered a drunken voice that sounded a bit vague: "Guess...why did Lianye finally agree to me to be the music director for this film?"

Liang Sizhe reached out to turn down the volume of the stereo, and glanced at him: "Didn't you mean prostitution?"

"What are you selling yourself for?" Cao Ye closed his eyes and sneered, "How many songs are I worth?"

"I can't guess." Liang Sizhe said.Lianye is not easy to invite, everyone in the industry said so, but he was invited by Cao Ye. Could it be... As soon as a guess emerged in his brain, Cao Ye gave him an affirmative answer.

"Because it's because of Cao Xiuyuan's face, is it ridiculous? I went to him so many times, and I said all the good things. I asked him to let him go, but he never let go. Later, I don't know who told him that Cao Xiuyuan was my father. I went there for the fifth time, and before I said anything, he agreed to leave the mountain."

"You said it earlier," Cao Ye slowly imitated Lian Ye's tone, "I have known your father for many years, and I am still his loyal fan. His son came to me to cooperate. This I always have to give face... Liang Sizhe, you guessed it right, he agreed to be a music director, it doesn't matter how many times I've been there, it doesn't matter who I am, it's just because Cao Xiuyuan is my father."

People who drink too much probably talk too much. Cao Ye vaguely felt that he shouldn't continue talking, but he couldn't stop. The feeling of pouring out the words that have been stuck in his chest for a long time is actually quite good: "I came back from Taiwan that day. On the plane, I wondered what I would be without Cao Xiuyuan? Is everyone working with me just because I am Cao Xiuyuan’s son? Without Cao Xiuyuan, would there be Luo Meng? Would there be any seniors willing to cooperate with Luo Meng? ? Including you, Liang Sizhe, without Cao Xiuyuan, would you agree to this reshoot?"

"It has nothing to do with your father that I promised to make up the shoot." Liang Sizhe said, his voice sounded a little heavy.

Cao Ye laughed, shook his head, closed his eyes and did not continue.

"Cao Ye, you've already done a good job," Liang Sizhe said while driving the car, "Your father is at your age, and no one cares about the films you made. You already have such a big company..."

Cao Ye interrupted him: "I know, I already have such a big company, but without Cao Xiuyuan, I might not be able to stand firmly in this circle." He turned his head and said in a low voice, "Don't comfort me, I No need, maybe I should thank Cao Xiuyuan, without him I am nothing... I am also pretty useless, I have to hang out with him."

Liang Sizhe didn't know what to say for the first time, and when the words of relief came to his lips, he felt that Cao Ye didn't seem to need it.In a sense, Cao Ye is quite similar to him. Once he falls into a certain state of mind, he can’t listen to any words of comfort. The comfort of others is meaningless. Only when I am willing to come out by myself.

Liang Sizhe sighed, the boy who was innocent back then has become preoccupied now, he was not innocent during the ten years.If Cao Ye played the role of Xiao Man back then, what would things be like now?

At this moment, a mobile phone rang abruptly in the carriage. Liang Sizhe looked down, and a screen popped up on the car display screen.

——Qin Zhenzhen.It looks like a girl's name.

"You're calling." Liang Sizhe turned to look at Cao Ye, "Qin Zhenzhen, do you want to answer?"

"No." Cao Ye said in a daze, "Hang up for me."

"girlfriend?"

Cao Ye vaguely replied "Yes".

"Isn't it good to hang up on your girlfriend's phone? You cut off the bluetooth and use your phone to answer it."

Cao Ye didn't answer, and the ringing continued for tens of seconds. It is estimated that there was a notification tone on the other end of the phone, and the car was quiet.

Neither of them spoke, and after a while the bell rang again, this time with perseverance, the other party called three or four times in a row.

Only then did Cao Ye open his eyes impatiently, and raised his hand to press the connect button on the display screen.

The girl's peculiar and delicate voice sounded: "Where have you been? You haven't answered the phone for so long. Are you with someone else?"

"Yes." Cao Ye leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and responded.

"With whom? A man or a woman?"

"Why do you say this every time..."

"I'm afraid you're with someone else... Are you drinking again?"

Cao Ye didn't answer her question: "What's the matter with calling?"

"My classmates and I are playing Truth or Dare, and the topic we got is that my boyfriend said to me I love you, and I will take the phone over in a moment, can you tell me?"

"What do I love you..." Cao Ye thought hard for a few seconds, "I remember you said it was over last time, right?"

"Didn't you hear that angry words? I regret it, okay?" Qin Zhenzhen sounded aggrieved, "Didn't I come to ask you for peace?"

"Then can I take it seriously?" Cao Ye frowned.He suddenly felt that being in a relationship was annoying. He hadn't been so annoying before. Probably the girls in the past were pretty neat, and they hit it off from the beginning to the end. Only Qin Zhenzhen was more sticky. A few days ago, he took the initiative to break up. Now Let him cooperate with some truth-or-dare again. If falling in love is just taking part-time and reunion as fun, then it is really boring.

"Tell me, okay? The classmates are waiting, I will lose face if you don't say it." Qin Zhenzhen's tone softened again, she knew that Cao Ye would not take hard things.

"Don't tell me." Cao Ye said, he was so dizzy that he couldn't summon up the energy to deal with Qin Zhenzhen.

"You really don't love me?" Qin Zhenzhen asked aggrievedly.

"I love you," Cao Ye said indistinctly, "I told you, do you believe me?" He thought that Qin Zhenzhen was also quite a funny girl. He had known her for only a month and had met several times. How can there be so much love...

Maybe there is also love, Cao Ye thought a little self-deprecatingly, but she may love Cao Xiuyuan's son instead of Cao Ye.

The world regards love as a standard, but isn't love really a false proposition?Nobody loves him, and he doesn't love anyone.

"I believe it." Qin Zhenzhen said.

"But I don't believe it," Cao Ye said, "Good boy, it's over when it's over."

After hanging up the phone, the car was quiet for a while, Liang Sizhe drove the car and asked, "How long have you been together?"

"I can't remember clearly, it's been more than a month." I said it was more than a month, but in fact I only met a few times.

"Break up after more than a month?" Liang Sizhe laughed, "What kind of flash love are you talking about?"

Cao Ye didn't speak. He felt that he was in a mess. This call really shouldn't be connected to the car stereo.

"Why did you break up with Lin Huan?" Liang Sizhe asked again, "Didn't you like her many years ago?"

"You still have the nerve to ask." Cao Ye muttered.

Liang Sizhe smiled: "Are you still angry with me for this?"

Cao Ye didn't respond for a while, Liang Sizhe glanced at him, Cao Ye was leaning on the car seat, his head was slightly tilted to the side of the car glass, he seemed to be asleep, his eyelashes covered his lower eyelids, just like many years ago, like a A small black fan.

Liang Sizhe didn't speak for the rest of the journey. The car's soundproofing effect was excellent, and the space was almost airtight. Cao Ye's steady breathing could almost be heard.

When parking at the intersection of traffic lights, Liang Sizhe turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, and raised his hand to stroke Cao Ye's hair. Cao Ye didn't respond, and it seemed that he was really asleep, otherwise he wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted when he was awake.

The car drove for another 10 minutes, and arrived at the address given by Cheng Duan. The security system at the gate of the community automatically recognized the license plate number. Liang Sizhe followed the roadside signs and drove the car to the underground parking lot.

After getting out of the car, he walked to Cao Ye's side, opened the door, and leaned in to unbuckle Cao Ye's seat belt.

Cao Ye frowned, turned his face to the other side, and let out a muffled moan, looking quite uncomfortable.

Liang Sizhe raised his arm and put it on his shoulder, and with great effort got him out of the car.

After sleeping in the car, Cao Ye was now more completely drunk, almost unconscious, with all the weight of his body on Liang Sizhe.

Liang Sizhe locked the car and carried him to the elevator. After so many years, the bones grew and the cells replaced, but their height and weight were still very close.It's been a long time since I dragged a drunk home. Liang Sizhe didn't experience it for the second time in these years.

The elevator door leads directly to Cao Ye's house, and the access control is recognized by facial recognition. Liang Sizhe put his arms around Cao Ye's shoulders, raised his hand and touched the electronic screen at the door to bring up the identification interface, and then used the hand that passed behind Cao Ye to go to the door. Lift his jaw so that his face is aimed at the camera.

Cao Ye reluctantly turned his face away from his hand, and buried his face on Liang Sizhe's shoulder.

"Look at the camera." Liang Sizhe turned his face and looked down at him, "otherwise you tell me the password."

Cao Ye didn't look at the camera and didn't say the password, so Liang Sizhe had no choice but to grab his jaw again and make him raise his face to the camera.

On the electronic screen, Cao Ye frowned impatiently, which made Liang Sizhe laugh out loud. Fortunately, the recognition system was very sensitive, and the lock unlocked with a beep.Liang Sizhe let go of Cao Ye's jaw, pushed open the door and carried him into the room.

The house was quite big, and it looked like there were several bedrooms, making it difficult to know which one Cao Ye lived in.Liang Sizhe first put Cao Ye on the sofa in the living room and helped him to sit down.Cao Ye seemed to like the sofa quite a bit, and he became honest as soon as he sat on it, his frowning brows relaxed, and he reclined down along the back of the sofa, his head also slid down to rest on the armrest of the sofa.

Liang Sizhe leaned on the armrest and looked down at him for a while, then got up and went to the refrigerator to find a box of milk and took a look at the outer packaging. It was still within the expiration date and could be drunk.He took the carton of milk to the kitchen and dug out a small saucepan from the cabinet.

The pot still looks new, it seems that it has not been used since it was bought, and the plastic wrap on the pot lid has not been removed, so it seems that it is just a decoration.He put the pot under the faucet and cleaned it, then poured the milk in, put it on the induction cooker and turned it on to a low heat to heat it up, stirred it slowly with a spoon a few times, then found a porcelain cup and poured the milk in.

Holding the porcelain cup and walking out of the kitchen, Cao Ye was lying on the sofa and fell asleep again, Liang Sizhe went over to put the milk on the tea table, then leaned down and patted Cao Ye's face twice: "Cao Ye, wake up first. "

"Huh?" Cao Ye responded vaguely, and buried his head a little deeper.

Liang Sizhe helped him up and let him lean on the back of the sofa. Cao Ye frowned and said, "Don't touch me, I'm going to die of pain."

"Get up and drink some milk first." Liang Sizhe inserted his hands into the gap between the back of his head and the sofa, supported the back of his head, and then held the cup to his lips.

Cao Ye turned his face away from the cup impatiently.

He looked very funny when he was drunk, just like when he was young, like a cat that would jump up and scratch someone when he was provoked.

"You want me to feed you, don't you?" Liang Sizhe couldn't help but want to tease him, and moved the hand holding the back of his head to pinch his face, "That's called Brother Sizhe." The baby back then had lost almost all of its fat Yes, but it feels good to touch.

"Liang Sizhe, you're so annoying." Cao Ye closed his eyes and raised his hand. The back of his hand touched the cup. Liang Sizhe didn't notice it for a while, and the cup in his hand was tilted by him. The milk splashed out and splashed on Cao Ye's face. Some of the clothes on the chest and chest slipped in along the neckline.

Cao Ye finally opened his eyes. First, he looked down at the splash marks on his body. The liquid felt a little itchy as it passed through his skin. He raised his hand to rub against his collarbone. Liquid said with a broken face: "What is this..." After finishing speaking, he rubbed his face, "Liang Sizhe, what are you doing...?!"

Liang Sizhe looked at him amusedly and helplessly. Originally, he just wanted Cao Ye to drink a glass of milk to soothe his hangover, but the scene in front of him seemed to be a bit out of style, which made people have no choice but to think about it...

"It's none of my business..." Liang Sizhe smiled, "I'll find you a towel." He put the remaining half cup of milk on the table, and the moment he turned to go to the bathroom, he couldn't help laughing .

"I'll go by myself..." Cao Ye tried to stand up while supporting the sofa, but when he got off the sofa, he felt dizzy and fell back down.
