The Eye of the Storm

Two people sat on the ground leaning against the trunk.The twilight was completely shrouded, and the moonlight projected on the ground in front of the eyes through the mottled tree shadows. When the wind blew, the light and shadow swayed.

Cao Ye suddenly felt a little dazed.With Liang Sizhe's explanation, all the anger he had just surged up was in vain, and it seemed inexplicable and ridiculous.

The girl walking with Liang Sizhe in the video is Qin Zhenzhen?He was only focused on identifying Liang Sizhe's back, and didn't even notice whether the back next to him looked familiar.In fact, he had long forgotten that Qin Zhenzhen was also arranged by him in the same crew, and these days he was preoccupied with the matter of Liang Sizhe leaving him alone.

Liang Sizhe asked him to think about why he was angry, but at the moment his mind was completely blank, staring at the swaying tree shadow on the ground without thinking about anything.

He was afraid to follow this clue to think deeply, always feeling that it would involve the fact that he had been evading all these years.He lowered his head and put his forehead on his knees. He thought he was an ostrich, and when he encountered danger, he would bury his head in the sand, never daring to face it.But there's nothing wrong with being an ostrich. He's been safe and sound for so many years, and he's pretty happy most of the time.

But ever since he reconnected with Liang Sizhe, Cao Ye could feel that he was always forcing himself intentionally or unintentionally, trying to lead him into things he didn't want to face.

"Same as before," Liang Sizhe asked beside him, "When do you mean before?"

"When Yin Si was here," Cao Ye said with his head buried, "don't you want to go back to that time?"

Liang Sizhe was noncommittal, and smiled lightly: "Can I go back?"

"Yes." Cao Ye whispered.

His tone was firm, and Liang Sizhe felt that he really had nothing to do with him.

He thought that Cao Ye seemed to mature faster than anyone of his age, but there was still such a small part that stubbornly did not grow up, where his self-willedness, innocence, stubbornness and withdrawal were contained, and this small part he did not dare to grow up. For anyone to see, but Liang Sizhe showed it vividly.

But now his little boy is like a beast with sensitive touch. Although he has closed his feelings, he is so smart that he can sense that he is forcing him, and he can also sense that their current relationship has exceeded the scope of normal friendship. , He knows everything, but he just hides in his own shell, unwilling to think deeply, and unwilling to poke his head out.

This is really difficult, you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.And Cao Ye pretended so thoroughly that even he himself believed it.

Back to Yinsi, why don't I want to?Cao Ye was still a carefree young master, and he himself came out of the drastic changes in his life peacefully. They were intimate and talked about everything, and he had to admit that it was the best time in his life

But ten years ago, his feelings for Cao Ye were still hazy. After ten years of fermentation, sometimes even he himself felt that he would be swallowed up at any time.Going back to ten years ago, how can it be so easy to say that you can be friends with no grievances again?

Cao Ye wanted to hide, why didn't he want to hide himself?During the screening that day, he really wanted to test Cao Ye's reaction. He made a gesture of wanting to kiss him, and wanted to see Cao Ye's reaction. It was expected that Cao Ye would take a step back, but he didn't. Thinking about it, he had dinner with Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin that night, and suddenly wanted to go to Yinsi to take a look, but he witnessed the drunk Cao Ye walking out of the bar with his arms around a girl.

This was not enough, he persuaded himself not to think about it, and concentrated on reading the project book and script that Cao Ye handed over. After all, they were completely free before they were together, but when the project book was opened, Qin Zhenzhen's name Impressively on the list - Liang Sizhe dropped the project proposal at that time, so Cao Ye really felt that he was invulnerable to all poisons, didn't he?

But he had to accept this film, otherwise the reconciliation would seem too insincere, he had to accept this film, and he had to act with his ex-girlfriend to perform this film well, as he said, and get another Best Actor together.

I kept thinking about this when I was reading the script, and I couldn't settle down to get into the role. He had been an actor for ten years, and he knew that this was not the state for him to act well, so he could only try not to think about Cao Ye.After getting drunk for a while, he wanted to force Cao Ye cruelly, but he suddenly cooled down and didn't contact him. Cao Ye should follow along and think about why, right?Maybe he suddenly figured it out and stopped running away.

This move was also very effective. Cao Ye sent a message asking him to climb the mountain. After the meeting, he looked like Cao Ye from ten years ago, touching and getting close to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Could forcing him again completely force him out of his shell?Liang Sizhe turned his face and glanced at Cao Ye. Cao Ye buried his face in his knees and remained silent at the moment, looking completely passive and evasive.

Unable to be ruthless, and afraid of being forced again, Cao Ye would really retract his slightly protruding head even deeper.Five years ago, Cao Ye was able to completely cut off contact with him, and it is the same now. After finally being able to reconcile now, Liang Sizhe thinks that he really dare not take another risk.

Not far away, Lin Yan came over and yelled: "Have you coaxed my brother?"

Neither of them responded, Cao Ye raised his head from his knees.

Lin Yan came over: "Yezi, I'll take you racing, can you go?"

"How many cars?" Cao Ye asked.He's back to his normal voice again, and seems to have recovered from the emotion he just had.

"Hey, it will be ready so soon?" Lin Yan squatted down and looked closely at the expression on his face, "How did Liang Sizhe lie to you? Let me tell you."

Cao Ye ignored him: "How many cars?"

"A total of four cars came up, are you okay? Don't get too emotional and overturn."

"Get lost," Cao Ye forced a smile and cursed, "Don't curse me."

After Lin Yan left, Cao Ye stood up on the ground, looked at Liang Sizhe and asked, "I also want to go racing for a while, do you want to go?"

"Do you want me to go?" Liang Sizhe also looked up at him.

They looked at Cao Ye and then looked away. After a moment of silence, they stretched out a hand to him: "Let's go together."

Liang Sizhe held his hand, Cao Ye pulled him up vigorously, but quickly withdrew his hand.

Liang Sizhe followed him towards the parking place, and slowly retracted the hand that had just been held, and squeezed the heat from Cao Ye's palm.

Just as he guessed, he took a step forward when explaining the scandal, and now Cao Ye took another step back. Compared with the unscrupulous touch when climbing the mountain, the hand that Cao Ye quickly retracted just now was exposed. Uneasy and uncomfortable in his heart.

Two of the four off-road vehicles were driven away. Cao Ye took the keys from the driver, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, while Liang Sizhe sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Cao Ye started the car: "You don't get carsick, do you?"

"Don't get dizzy, drive as you please."

"The road is a little narrow, I will drive a little faster, but..." The loud sound of the engine completely drowned out the second half of his words, and the car suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the winding and steep mountain road not far away.

The road was really narrow, with one side leaning against a steep cliff and the other side facing an unobstructed cliff. Drivers must pay full attention, otherwise they will overturn and fall down if they are not careful.The car's searchlights were shining straight ahead, reflecting the mountains in the distance that melted into the night.

"But what?" Liang Sizhe asked.

"But don't be afraid," Cao Ye said as he drove the car, "I drove very steadily."

Liang Sizhe smiled.It's strange that the turning point in his life began with a car accident, but he didn't feel flustered about taking this dangerous road with Cao Ye.

The winding mountain road is not easy to walk, and the narrow part can only accommodate the width of a car. Sitting in the car, looking at the bottomless cliff outside, there is a thrilling feeling that the cliff will die at any time.

But Cao Ye's driving skills are not bad, and he turned several steep turns skillfully and beautifully. When the car drove through a detour and roared towards a steep slope, Cao Ye sang a song, the jazzy rock song from "The Darkest Choice" , with a tone of insolence and fearlessness.

He seemed to be in a good mood, completely different from the state of passive escape sitting under a tree half an hour ago.Seeing that he was in a good mood, Liang Sizhe's mood also improved a little.

Cao Ye concentrated on driving the car.He likes this state of concentration. The road is too narrow, and he has to be tense all the way, which is why he can't spare any extra energy to think about other things.

When he first came back to China, Lomon was a startup, and he had a lot of things on his mind. He drove for a while every once in a while. After driving for half an hour, his nerves were stretched to the extreme, and his palms would sweat. On the way back, the driver drove. He can get a long-lost sleep in the back row.

After driving the steepest part of the road, his tense nerves relaxed. Cao Ye turned to look at Liang Sizhe, and joked with him: "You said if we overturned and rolled down, we would be in the headlines for a few days?"

Liang Sizhe thought about it cooperatively and said, "From the accident to the conclusion of the accident investigation, it should take about a week."

"How will the news headline be written?" Cao Ye seemed to be very interested in this topic, and quickly came up with a headline, "Actor Liang Sizhe and Cao Xiuyuan's son raced late at night and both fell off a cliff."

Liang Sizhe smiled, shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand the style of the media too much."

"Then what do you think they would write?"

"According to my experience, they will write more gimmicks, for example..." Liang Sizhe said slowly, "The son of actor Liang Sizhe and Cao Xiuyuan fell off a cliff in a car late at night, and they seemed to die in love."

Cao Ye didn't speak, the car became quiet, the road became smoother, the night wind poured into the speeding car, and the whistling sound of the wind could be heard, the ambiguous atmosphere was as strong as the silence, and could not be blown away by the wind for a long time.

"So you have to be careful." Liang Sizhe said again, adding some jokes to this temptation, and made a less extreme ending.

Started to shrink back again.Liang Sizhe sighed in his heart, when did he end up?

If you don't want it, let it be.As Cao Ye said, go back to Yinsi and end this seesaw state.As long as Cao Ye can return to the carefree young man he was in Yinsi period, he can do whatever he likes.

The young master wants to play Plato with him, so let's play with him.Maybe one day I will be exhausted and I can't continue to toss, so it's a big dream that ends without a problem.

It's just so ridiculous, Liang Sizhe thought, how many girls Cao Ye has slept with may not even be counted by himself, but now he wants to play Plato with him if you don't tell me I don't know.

You are too naive Cao Ye, do you know what I want to do to you?

He thought that Cao Ye was probably the doom in his life, appearing at the lowest point of his life, starting from Yin Si, every step he took in the future could not be completely separated from Cao Ye.

What is his relationship with Cao Ye?He was a childhood friend who experienced ups and downs when he became famous at a young age, a friend he could talk to, the only son of a mentor who single-handedly promoted him to the position of film king, and also a benefactor who was kind to him.

Maybe I should retreat to whatever position I want, so that I can be friends with Cao Ye easily like Lin Yan and Chi Mingyao, and get together every now and then to make some harmless jokes.

He has played the leading role in many stories, and the only supporting role was played in a film cast by Cao Ye. Perhaps fate had predicted to him early on that he had already overdrawn his life's leading role quota in other people's plays, and in Cao Ye In his life, he can only become a supporting role that is not the only one, but only has some weight.It's really sad.

Okay, Cao Ye, then as you said, Liang Sizhe leaned his head on the back seat tiredly, looked out of the window and said in his heart, back to Yinsi Street, get along as before, my first actor is you Give it to me, if you want to hide, then I will accompany you to perform.

On the way back, neither of them spoke. Cao Ye didn't drive the car so fast this time. Maybe he was too preoccupied and couldn't even concentrate on driving.

Parked the car to the original location, and the two walked over to set up the tent together.Straightening up, Cao Ye saw that the lights in several other tents were on, and he thought of Chi Mingyao and Li Yangxiao, as well as the association on the way when they came, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yan was in another tent, poking his head out of the small window and calling him over.

"Do you want to go there together?" Cao Ye asked Liang Sizhe.

"You go." Liang Sizhe said.

Cao Ye knew that he and Lin Yan were not dealing with each other, so he responded, then raised his jaw towards the RV not far away and said, "You can wash in the RV over there."

"know."

Cao Ye walked towards Lin Yan's tent: "What's the matter?"

"Are you ready?" Lin Yan asked.

"What to prepare?"

"Pretend to be stupid." Lin Yan smiled meaningfully, "If you haven't prepared it, my brother has prepared it for you here, just say what you want, don't be shy, ah."

"...You are sick, Lin Yan!" Cao Ye realized what he was saying, his expression changed, he cursed, got up and walked back.

"Hey, hey, don't go!" Lin Yan leaned over to hold him, "I'm just kidding, I have business to see you!"

"What's the matter?"

"What's going on with Chi Mingyao and his little love?"

"You ask him to go."

"He didn't tell me, you must know the situation," Lin Yan approached with a gossipy face, "Hurry up, tell me why he suddenly bent?"

"I still want to know." Cao Ye said.

Lin Yan kept pulling him to prevent him from leaving. After a while, Dabai also came over to gossip, trying to say that he wanted Cao Ye to reveal some truths, but Cao Ye was very strict and didn't let them get out of the way.

Seeing that the routine was fruitless, the two discussed going to the corner outside Chi Mingyao's tent to listen to the wall, and they also wanted to pull Cao Ye as a backing.

"I'm not going," Cao Ye said with a smile, "You two are both boring." After he finished speaking, he really got up this time to leave.

"Just say what you need!" Lin Yan shouted behind him.

Walking towards the tent, the small window of the tent was open, and there was a warm orange light inside.

He approached the tent with light steps, instead of going in through the main entrance, he bent down to look in through the small window, wanting to see what Liang Sizhe was doing in the tent.But Liang Sizhe was not in the tent.Both sleeping bags were empty.

"Liang Sizhe." Cao Ye yelled, but there was no response. He walked in from the main entrance and looked around. Liang Sizhe was really not in the tent.

He got up and looked around, but he didn't see Liang Sizhe, so he called him again with his mobile phone, and his mobile phone was turned off.

Cao Ye went to wash up in the car, thinking that Liang Sizhe might be back in a while, but after he washed up and lay down in his sleeping bag for a while, Liang Sizhe still didn't come back.

Will it go downhill?Cao Ye sat up, although he felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of living with Liang Sizhe tonight, but now that Liang Sizhe is not coming back, it is even more difficult for him to fall asleep.

He got up from his sleeping bag and went looking for Liang Sizhe aimlessly.There weren't many trees on the mountain. After walking for a few minutes, he saw Liang Sizhe. The trunk was not too thick, and it couldn't block his straight shoulders.

Cao Ye walked over and stood a few steps away from Liang Sizhe. He saw Liang Sizhe sitting close to the roots of the tree in the dark night, golden sparks looming, Liang Sizhe was smoking, and the night was windy, and he exhaled white smoke , and then quickly drifted away with the wind.
