After spending a few days with Jiang Dazhang, Paradise felt something was wrong. Maybe he really liked him as Wu Jiakun said...

It's just that the other party didn't rush over directly, didn't say any explicit confession, just stayed by his side, almost like a shadow from morning till night.Therefore, Paradise was a little dazed, wondering if he was being sentimental, maybe he just treated him as a friend who came from afar.

Jiang Dazhang took him around Hong Kong every day. He didn't go to any famous attractions, but just ate various small shops.He is still a frequent visitor to some places, and he can always chat with the boss for a long time, but it is a pity that the paradise can't understand a word.

And whenever Paradise asked him about the follow-up production, release, and promotion of movies, Jiang Dazhang always shook his head and refused to answer: "I don't talk about work when I'm on vacation." Instead, I chatted with him about various personal topics, such as hobbies, tastes, He even asked him if he liked cats or dogs, as if he wanted to get to know him completely.

This made Paradise feel as if he wanted to quietly blend into his life, a way of boiling frogs in warm water, accumulating little by little to the point of qualitative change.

However, Paradise is not disgusted, and believes that this is mainly due to Jiang Dazhang's personal charm.As a friend alone, he can make others feel at ease.He always listens very carefully when Paradise speaks, and then responds appropriately.Besides, he is much older than Paradise after all, so he naturally has a bit of an elder attitude.

Even the more he gets along with him, the more at ease, Leyuan thinks that such a knowledgeable and experienced person will definitely not like her.

On this day, Jiang Dazhang took the paradise to Shi'ao to see the sea, rented a homestay, and planned to stay overnight before returning to the city.

Paradise likes the sea, so it fluttered all afternoon, until the sun was about to go down, and then reluctantly went back to take a bath and change clothes.

The two had dinner by the beach, the sun was gradually engulfed by the sea level, and the whole sky was dyed purple.

Leyuan kept looking towards the sea, and didn't look at Jiang Dazhang for a long time.The attraction of the sea is obviously much greater than the living people right in front of us.

Jiang Dazhang took a sip of beer: "You like the sea so much?"

Paradise came back to his senses, and glanced at him with a smile: "I don't see much."

Jiang Dazhang handed him the beer mug, the two clinked their glasses, and Le Yuan took a sip and smacked his lips: "It's delicious," he said after a pause, "I grew up in Beijing, where can I see the sea?"

Then he turned his head and looked into the distance, and said with a chuckle, "It's probably the same as southerners are looking forward to snow. When I went to Shanghai to study in university, I dragged it as soon as I finished my application..." The words stopped abruptly. Stopped, he pursed his lips, "I ran to the Bund and looked at the Huangpu River as if it were the sea."

Paradise lowered his head and smiled, pinching his fingers aimlessly.

"I grew up by the sea when I was young," Jiang Dazhang said, "Dalian, and later moved here because of my father's business."

Paradise supported his head with one hand, his eyes widened a bit: "No wonder your accent..."

"Now you dislike my substandard Mandarin?"

"How could that be?" Leyuan shook his head, "I was surprised before that you are obviously from Hong Kong, but sometimes you pop up some words that people from the north say. Now I understand."

Jiang Dazhang folded his arms on the edge of the table, and leaned his upper body slightly forward: "I'm a little dissatisfied with the way you speak."

Paradise was startled.

"Have I told you many times, don't call me 'you' anymore, it makes me look old."

Paradise breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm used to it...we call people we respect that."

Jiang Dazhang stretched out one hand and gestured in the air: "The filming is over, now I'm not the director, and you are not my leading actor." He frowned, raised his palm in the air, and made a prohibitive gesture, "You are not allowed to Respect me and treat me as a friend."

"Okay, listen to...yours."

Jiang Dazhang raised his eyebrows, showing some satisfaction.

For a while, only the sound of wind and waves remained. I don't know how long it was silent like this, and suddenly there was a "ding ding" sound.It's not very loud, but it's very crisp, easily poking out from the background sound of wind and waves, making it hard to ignore.

Both of them noticed it and glanced at each other in unison.

"What do you think this sound is?" Jiang Dazhang said first

Paradise looked around: "I don't know, but it sounds very happy."

Jiang Dazhang stared at him, and suddenly laughed softly.

"What's wrong?" Paradise was puzzled.

Jiang Dazhang smiled and shook his head—this is what attracted him most in the paradise.

"What do you think this sound is?", anyone who listens will answer-"It's xxx" or "It seems to be xxx".Paradise does not define this thing, but describes its own feelings - it sounds very happy.

It was because of this that Jiang Dazhang first chose him to play the leading role.

Paradise does not seem to like to evaluate any environment, things, and is unwilling to make judgments on them.He is in a state of immersion, every cell is feeling the effect of the environment on him.He is sensitive enough to learn a lot of external information, but he only guards his own thoughts from beginning to end.

He is a person who is open to the outside world, but at the same time habitually closes himself off.

Such a sense of ambivalence made Jiang Dazhang catch his eye, thinking that Paradise was the most suitable candidate, but it turned out that he was right.

And this quality of Paradise also fascinated him, almost irresistibly.

Jiang Dazhang kept smiling, and Yuanyuan felt uneasy because he didn't understand it. He was just about to bring up a topic without saying anything, but the other party first asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Paradise was taken aback, shaking his head.

"Boy friend?"

"No, I'm single."

Jiang Dazhang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at him through the smoke: "You shouldn't, you are at the right age to fall in love. The company won't let you?"

"No," Yuanyuan lowered his head, clasped and loosened his hands under the table, repeated this, and finally put his palms on his knees, raised his head and smiled at Jiang Dazhang, and said softly, "It's my own problem," After a pause, "I still can't forget my first love..."

Jiang Dazhang was holding a cigarette, but didn't smoke any more: "Why did you split up?"

Paradise licked his lips, breathed out, raised his eyes, and didn't know what he was looking at. After a long time, he said: "I don't know... He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, and I shouldn't have done anything wrong, just Inexplicably broke up."

Jiang Dazhang stared at him firmly, and slowly looked away: "I will always forget."

Yuan Yuan felt that his breathing was disordered, and quickly turned his head to look at the sea, and adjusted quietly.After a while, he said, "What about you?"

"Me? First love?" Jiang Dazhang seemed to laugh in disbelief, "I have long forgotten what happened more than 20 years ago."

"No, I want to ask why you are single."

"I haven't met a suitable person." Jiang Dazhang put out the cigarette in the ashtray, looked at the paradise, and continued after the smoke cleared and there was no shelter between the two: "Now I have someone I like , I just don’t know if he is willing or not.” After speaking, he kept looking at Paradise, as if he didn’t intend to let him go until he got a satisfactory answer.

Le Yuan supported the edge of the chair with both hands, gripping the thin layer of wood tightly, and said nothing for a long time.

Jiang Dazhang finally looked away, pushed down his glasses, and then stood up: "It's getting late, go back and rest."

Paradise didn't move, looked up at him, and slowly opened his mouth: "Do you want to sleep with me?"

Jiang Dazhang stopped, looked at him in surprise, and subconsciously spread his hands in front of him: "Young people seem to be quite open now."

Paradise sat motionless.

Jiang Dazhang looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I have no problem if you want."

"it is good."
