The Eye of the Storm

Liang Sizhe stood up straight from the door frame, giving Cao Ye a place to enter the house.

Cao Ye followed him in and changed into slippers at the entrance.When he was changing his shoes, he felt that the excuse he made just now was really stupid. He just said that he just came to pick up the car. The ready-made reason was right in front of him, but he didn't think of it for a while. It's really a drop in IQ...

But when I think of Liang Sizhe's "swearing", I think it's funny. This person has been attacked by public opinion like that, and he is still in the mood to make a joke. Is he pretending to be relaxed or is he used to it?

"When did you get up?" Liang Sizhe looked at him from the side and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

When he asked, Cao Ye felt that he was really hungry. After waking up, he didn't eat anything, so he called the driver over.He didn't feel very hungry at first, but when Liang Sizhe mentioned it, he suddenly felt that his chest was pressed against his back.

"No, I'll go back to eat later." Cao Ye said as he changed his shoes.

Liang Sizhe didn't speak, walked to the sofa and bent down to take the phone, then turned and went to a room.

There was a vague voice in the room, it should be Liang Sizhe on the phone. —Who are you talking to on the phone?Does Liang Sizhe have a girlfriend?This thought flashed through Cao Ye's mind.

After changing the shoes, Cao Ye turned around, and Xiao Xiaobai stood a few steps away, staring at him intently.It wasn't as crazy as Caesar was back then, it didn't charge directly, it just stood there, wagging its tail tentatively at him.It seems that his personality is more like Xiaobai.

Cao Ye took two steps toward it, squatted down, and raised his hand to stroke its head.Although it is a string, it looks quite majestic, and it is well-raised by Liang Sizhe, so its hair looks shiny and smooth.

The dog's tail wagged a little more cheerfully, and seemed to have a good impression of him.

Cao Ye stood up and tried to walk a few steps, Xiao Xiaobai followed him, but was always two steps away from him, as if he wanted to come closer, but was a little scared.He looks very good, looks like Caesar, and has a personality like Xiaobai.

Cao Ye looked up, Liang Sizhe was still talking on the phone in the room, he probably couldn't hear the living room, he squatted down again, lowered his voice, looked at the pair of round black eyes in front of him and called out: "Little Xiaobai. "

This guy was quite childish back then, and after he called out, he felt a bit out of character, but he still couldn't help stretching out his arms and clapping his hands at Xiao Xiaobai: "Come here."

Xiao Xiaobai didn't move, just stood there and looked at him.

Cao Ye squatted down and took two steps toward it, and said softly, "You don't know me, do you? I gave you your name."

Xiao Xiaobai is quite human. I don't know if he understands his words or simply has a good impression of him. He moves closer to him, sniffs his neck, and rubs his pricked ears against Cao Ye's chin, letting him I feel itchy.

Cao Ye likes small animals from the bottom of his heart, and Xiao Xiaobai has an indissoluble bond with him. He raised his hand around the back of Xiao Xiaobai's neck, rubbed it vigorously, and looked down at him: "What are you smelling? I have raised them before. Your father, who also fed your mother, sniffed it out?"

Xiao Xiaobai made a "woo-woo" sound from his throat, and arched towards him again.

At this moment, Liang Sizhe opened the door and walked out of the room. Cao Ye immediately fell silent, rubbed the hair on the back of Xiaobai's neck, and did not speak to it again.Talking to a dog in front of Liang Sizhe seemed silly.

Liang Sizhe came over, touched Xiao Xiaobai's head, and looked at Cao Ye: "Go and sit on the sofa, how tired you are squatting."

Cao Ye responded, let go of Xiaobai, stood up and walked towards the sofa, Xiaobai followed him and lay on his bed.

Cao Ye was sitting on the sofa, teasing the dog on the surface, but in his heart he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

Don't mention the matter of public opinion. Anyone who is labeled as a drug addict will be very upset. I don't want to add trouble to Liang Sizhe.

I don't want to mention the bar, even he himself couldn't explain why he insisted on opening such an underground bar on Yinsi Street.

He thought for a while and asked, "Why didn't you sleep?"

Liang Sizhe leaned on the back of the sofa, looking quite relaxed, with a lazy voice: "I just wanted to sleep, didn't you come here?"

Cao Ye turned his face to look at him: "Did I disturb your rest? I'm just here to pick up the car. Let's go now. Go to sleep." Saying this, he let go of Xiaobai to get up.

"Hey, don't go," Liang Sizhe stopped him, raised his hand and pressed his wrist, "It's more important that you come over, why don't you sleep, you can sleep anytime, don't worry." The hand only touched Cao Ye's The wrist was retracted, like a simple touch between friends, not to mention exceeding the norm.

What he said made people unable to answer, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it just didn't sound right.Cao Ye didn't like Liang Sizhe's talking like this, as if he had to force himself to follow his words and think in a certain direction.

He pretended to be comfortable and smiled: "What's so important that I come here? You didn't sleep long the night before yesterday when you filmed the night scene, and you helped me deal with the bar affairs last night. In my opinion, it's better to sleep It's more important."

"Cao Ye." Liang Sizhe leaned forward with his elbows on his thighs, and looked sideways at Cao Ye.

When his voice sank and called "Cao Ye", Cao Ye's heart beat for no reason, but his tone was still pretending to be calm: "Huh?"

"I went to Yinsi last night. Do you want to talk about that bar?"

Cao Ye put his hand back on the back of Xiao Xiaobai's neck and stroked it twice: "...Let's talk about something else." He said it bluntly, for fear that Liang Sizhe would force himself to explain clearly why he had to be in Yinsi like this. Open a bar on the former site of the hotel.

But I didn't expect Liang Sizhe to follow him with a good temper: "Okay, then let's not talk about this, we will talk about it when you want to. By the way, how is Caesar?"

"I don't know," Cao Ye said, "I gave it away a few years ago."

Liang Sizhe nodded, and asked again: "What happened to Xiaobai, do you want to know?"

Cao Ye turned his face and looked up at him.

"It's gone," Liang Sizhe said. "It happened four years ago, Qin Yizhuang, do you still remember? I always asked him to help me take care of Xiaobai when he was the resident singer in the bar in Yinsi. Once Xiaobai ran away by himself. On the street, he was accidentally hit by a car and left on the spot."

Cao Ye didn't respond, but put his palm on Xiaobai's head, swallowed, and his Adam's apple twitched.

It was still sad to hear the news, which was several years late. In a blink of an eye, the scene of Caesar and Xiaobai doing mischief in broad daylight, and the scene of him squatting against the wall and eating ice cream with Liang Sizhe seemed to happen just yesterday.

Liang Sizhe looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Xiaobai and Kaiser, do you still feel sick when you think about it now?"

"I haven't thought about it," Cao Ye said, looking down at Xiao Xiaobai. "It's all in the past, and I seldom think about it."

Liang Sizhe nodded and didn't continue talking.

Cao Ye stood up: "I have to make a record, you go to sleep, I won't disturb you."

"Leave now?" Liang Sizhe looked up at him, "Shouldn't you play with Xiao Xiaobai for a while? I think you quite like it."

Cao Ye looked down, and saw Xiaobai lying on his legs, nibbling his trousers with his teeth: "Is it sleepy too? It doesn't look energetic."

"How lively do you expect a ten-year-old dog to be?" Liang Sizhe smiled, leaned down and pinched Xiao Xiaobai's face, "It's old too, it used to be quite energetic." He stood up and walked towards the door , "Cao Ye, come here."

Cao Ye followed him to the door without knowing why. Liang Sizhe pressed a few times on the electronic screen on the wall next to the door, turned to look at him and said, "If you want, you can take a fingerprint. If you want to see it later , come here at any time. Years ago it had a stomach problem, when it went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said it didn’t have much life left.”

Cao Ye turned his head to look at Xiao Xiaobai who was lying on the floor and did not follow, and then at Liang Sizhe. He thought that Liang Sizhe might be very sad, but he couldn't see a trace of sadness on Liang Sizhe's face.Liang Sizhe's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

What is Liang Sizhe thinking?He seems to be indifferent to everything, to the sharp slander and abuse on the Internet, to the sudden death of Xiaobai four years ago, and to the imminent departure of Xiaobai who has been with him for ten years soon.

He seems to be deliberately hiding his emotions, and when those emotions are too full to be hidden, he will occasionally show a little fragility.

Cao Ye raised his hand and pressed his index finger fingerprint on the display screen. After three presses, the fingerprint was entered into the system with a beep.

Just then, the doorbell rang.Song Qingyan's face was displayed on the screen behind the door: "Brother Sizhe, it's me."

Liang Sizhe raised his hand to open the door, and took the bag from Song Qingyan's hand: "It's quite timely."

"Hey, is it in time?" Song Qingyan also smiled, "I was already at the gate of the community when you called, and I was about to come in to give you the contract. Supermarket, Brother Sizhe, haven’t you had lunch at the company?” Halfway through the conversation, she turned and saw Cao Ye standing aside, “Boss Cao is here too.” Even though she said that, her tone was not What a surprise.

"Here's a guest, I have to entertain you." Liang Sizhe smiled.

"Just serve a bowl of noodles to entertain guests..."

"Listen to what you're talking about? The guests haven't made any comments yet, so why don't you let me get off the stage first." Liang Sizhe smiled and looked at Cao Ye, "Can I order a bowl of noodles?"

"What's next?" Cao Ye glanced at the things in his hands, and then realized, "Make it for me?"

"if not?"

Song Qingyan suddenly felt that staying here seemed a bit redundant: "Then... I will withdraw the things after they are delivered, Brother Sizhe, please read the contract first, and I will come to pick it up later."

Liang Sizhe replied "Yes", and Song Qingyan consciously closed the door outside.

"Eat something light, I drank so much last night." Liang Sizhe glanced at Cao Ye.

"You know how to cook?" Cao Ye looked at him curiously.

"You've never seen a movie I acted in, have you?" Liang Sizhe smiled, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, "I've made noodles and fried vegetables many times in "Red Man Red Woman", so I know some simple things. "

"Then, let me help you." Cao Ye followed.

"No, they are all semi-finished products that have been washed and washed. You can go to the living room to play with Xiaobai."

"Oh..." Cao Ye responded, but stood still at the kitchen door.

Liang Sizhe was very skilled in his movements. He took water in the pot and put it on the induction cooker to boil, then took two eggs from the refrigerator, and took out a bowl from the kitchen cabinet. Knock, the egg white and egg yolk fell into the bowl.

"You often cook by yourself?" Cao Ye leaned against the door frame and watched Liang Sizhe cooking, which was actually quite pleasing to the eye. Suddenly, the words Cao Yuning said flashed in his mind: "Have you read "Wang Chuan?" "The River of Water"? His figure in that drama is amazing, ouch, it's my heavenly dish!"——Aside from anything else, Cao Yuning's vision is not bad.

"When I'm not filming, I usually do it myself." Liang Sizhe said.The water in the pot boiled, he put the noodles in and stirred it twice with chopsticks.

Cao Ye suddenly felt that the ordinary scene in front of him was quite dramatic.

All kinds of rumors spread outside the city, but the protagonist of the incident stayed at home calmly, and could calmly order a bowl of noodles.

This is another piece of news to spread.

The noodles were ready quickly, Liang Sizhe picked up the pot, poured the noodles into a bowl, and brought them to the dining table.

With green vegetables and a poached egg on top, this steaming bowl of noodles looks quite appetizing.

"Let's eat." Liang Sizhe said, "I'm going upstairs to sleep." After speaking, he took a tissue from the table to wipe his hands, and then walked towards the stairs.

"Okay," Cao Ye responded, turning to look at him, "Well... Liang Sizhe, thank you for the bar matter."

Liang Sizhe was walking to the stairs, when he heard this, he turned to look at him: "How are you going to thank me?"

Cao Ye was stunned for a moment: "Thank you no matter what, just mention it."

"I'll mention it..." Liang Sizhe smiled at him, "It will be a long time in the future, I will think about it later, you remember this matter."

"Okay." Cao Ye responded, bowed his head and ate his noodles.The hot noodles slid down the esophagus, and the internal organs that had been ruined by alcohol all night seemed to be in their places in an instant.

Liang Sizhe walked upstairs to the bedroom and stopped on the second floor. He lay his arms on the stairs and looked down at Cao Ye: "After dinner, you can play with Xiaobai for a while. I'm sleeping on the second floor. You can just follow me." It talks, I can't hear it."

"What did I tell it..." Cao Ye looked up at him, "I'm not that childish."

"Naive?" Liang Sizhe laughed, "I often talk to it."

"say what?"

"Say I have a friend named Cao Ye, and he gave you your name."

He said this just now, Cao Ye thought in his heart, he looked up at Liang Sizhe, and then asked, "What else did you say?"

"Also, he raised your father and fed your mother."

Cao Ye: "..." Isn't that what I just said?Liang Sizhe actually heard every word...

"You did it on purpose, Liang Sizhe?" Cao Ye gritted his teeth.

"I'm afraid I'll overhear you when you talk to a dog," Liang Sizhe looked down at him and smiled, "Cao Ye, you're so cute." After speaking, he straightened up and opened the door into the bedroom on the second floor.
