call my name

It started to rain early the next morning, and the location scene that was supposed to be filmed couldn't be filmed, and the entire crew was lazily hanging around in the hotel.

When going downstairs for breakfast, Lin Xia greeted acquaintances with two dark circles under her eyes, and found that Qi Yue rarely appeared in the restaurant.He occupies a table by himself, holding a deep-fried dough stick in one hand and flipping through a newspaper in the other. He sits upright and eats slowly.Probably because of the aura of eating fritters and bean curd in a French style, no one went to share a table with him.

Apparently, the production crew all agreed that Qi Yue was a dandy who came to play with tickets deeply. Someone pretended to glance at him casually, and whispered to his tablemate: "The young master of a rich family is not only handsome, but also where does this extravagance go?" Where to put it."

"Well, it doesn't look good to flatter."

……

Lin Xia lowered her head and wanted to quietly grab some food before going back to her room.It wasn't because he was afraid of being criticized by others when sitting with Qi Yue, but because the scene in his dream last night made him so guilty that he would not dare to face Qi Yue for a while.

But Qi is more intuitive and sensitive, as if he was equipped with a sensing antenna, he looked up and found him in time, put down the newspaper and said, "Ah Xia, come and sit here!"

Everyone in the crew called Lin Xia Xiaolin.Qi Yue is different from others, never calling him that; yesterday in his room he got inspiration from somewhere and invented the nickname "A Xia" on his own initiative, and today he continues to call it that very naturally.

Hearing Lin Xia being called that, several people looked up at him with a smile on their faces, and the monkey who was eating raw fried food a few tables away gave him a meaningful glance.

This nickname may seem too intimate, but you can't find anything wrong if you think about it seriously.

In fact, in the language of a minority ethnic group in Yunnan, "Axia" is a name for a lover; but this ancient nickname should not be known to many people in modern times. Qi Yue was born in a metropolis like City S, and has lived in Going to school and living overseas, let alone know this.

Lin Xia felt that it would be embarrassing to explain clearly, so she bit the bullet and walked over to sit opposite Qi Yue, accepting the title without saying a word.

There was a little girl who was usually very lively and probably wanted to strike up a conversation, so she took the opportunity to come over and showed Lin Xia the link of the video on her mobile phone: "When did you take this picture of Xiao Lin? It's all on the trending list now! Look! , the comments say you are more handsome than Roy, you are going to be hot now!"

Overnight, the click-through rate of this video link soared, and the comments and likes of passers-by pushed Roy's fans down.This was exactly what Tian Bin was worried about on the phone yesterday. Lin Xia hurriedly explained: "It was really just a coincidence that I was photographed. No one looks good to me. Don't say that..."

"Of course you are prettier than him!" Qi Yue cut him off, finished eating the leftover fritters, and commented directly in a flat and unquestionable tone: "You are the prettiest in this crew."

"Wow——I love handsome guys complimenting handsome guys!" The little girl almost stared, and then handed the phone to Qi Yue: "Look at handsome guy Qi, Xiaolin here is really cute, Hahaha."

Qi Yue signaled that his hands were stained with oil, and didn't pick up her cell phone, but just glanced at it with a smile: "I've seen it a long time ago."

"Wow——" the little girl exclaimed in surprise, "So you pay so much attention to Xiao Lin?"

Qi Yue raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when he saw Lin Xia opposite him with an embarrassing expression that almost buried his face in the soy milk bowl, he closed his mouth, smiled politely at the little girl, wiped his hands and folded his hands. Pick up the newspaper: "I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly."

The little girl stared at Qi Yue's back rather melancholy and sighed: "Ah—— handsome Qi, he is always polite but really not easy to get close to! Hey, it's hard to say a few words to the mysterious handsome Qi. He will leave soon. Hey Xiaolin, you have a good relationship, tell me what you know about him."

Lin Xia was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he actually knew very little about Qi Yue.Because every time I am alone, I am talking and Qi Yue is listening. The real conversation is not too much, but even if there are few words, it is not embarrassing; and I grew up in an orphanage, and I have very few good memories. Not much, so he deliberately avoided talking about his personal experience in front of Qi Yue, so Qi Yue tacitly kept silent about himself.

The little girl toiled for a long time, but seeing that he couldn't say anything, she left disappointed.

Why on earth did you become friends with Qi Yue?Or, does Qi Yue really regard himself as a friend?Lin Xia only felt that he could not taste the food.

***

The rain keeps falling.

In the evening, Tian Bin took a minibus and came to the hotel with a suitcase covered in mud. He first greeted the director and the crew, and after sharing the snacks he brought, he went to Lin Xia's room.

Lin Xia was languid all day long, sitting by the window to watch the rain, and listening to Tian Bin open the box and place things while scolding: "You should tell me about this sooner, brother Liu, please say hello I’m going to make a special trip here to save money. Hey, let’s not talk about whether I, a little assistant, can’t cover the scene. I’m not reimbursed for the air tickets and accommodations. Look at how much money is wasted... I’ll just sleep on your sofa and save a little money. a little."

The clusters of red flowers and green leaves outside the window are particularly bright and eye-catching after being washed by the rain, and it is hazy through the moisture of the glass.

It is clearly an astonishing and breathtaking color, but it is hidden in the approaching twilight, and people want to get closer to observe it.

Thinking of Qi Yue is like looking at flowers through fog.

Tian Bin was still nagging, Lin Xia didn't look back, just stretched out a finger to smear on the moisture on the window glass.

Tian Bin babbled to no avail, snorted, not surprised: "I have committed another stupid disease, and it was all caused by that unscrupulous old Mi Tao in the front yard." After finishing speaking, he left him, picked up a change of clothes and went to take a shower by himself.

Lin Xia continued to paint on the glass. "Mi Tao" means "Old Granny" in the minority language of Yunnan. The "black-hearted old Mi Tao" mentioned by Tian Bin is actually not black-hearted. She has been a childcare worker in an orphanage for half her life and is dedicated to the children. , but too strict, not kind; but she has always disliked Lin Xia, and often punished him to stand up for trivial matters.After many years, Lin Xia still remembers her disgusted eyes.At first he hated her, but when he grew up, he was more cold-eyed and relieved: no one would like a stupid and dull child with scary scars on his face.

Just as I was thinking, someone knocked on the door.When I heard the rhythm of the voice, it was unhurried and the volume was right—it must be Qi Yue.

Lin Xia jumped up from the window reflexively to open the door.Tian Bin walked out of the bathroom just after taking a shower, and opened the door. Although he didn't know him, he greeted warmly: "Hey, buddy, hello! Come to see us, Xiao Lin?"

"..." Qi Yue obviously didn't expect that there would be someone more in Lin Xia's room, and he just finished taking a shower, so he couldn't help being stunned—but his surprised expression disappeared in an instant: "Oh, hello, I'm here to have dinner with A Xia go."

"A-Xia?!" Tian Bin looked back at Lin Xia, and was immediately amused: "When did you come up with such a nickname?"

Lin Xia had a ghost in her heart, blushed suddenly, Qi Yue introduced: "This is our company's manager assistant, Tian Bin, a friend I grew up with."

Tian Bin was wiping his hair carelessly with a towel, water droplets splashed, Qi Yue frowned imperceptibly, and took a step back.

Tian Bin didn't pay attention, let Qi Yue into the room to sit on the sofa, and explained to him: "Dude, don't blame me for laughing, this nickname doesn't matter in other places, but it has ambiguity in our hometown, in the Mosuo language It means 'lover'! Haha, but it's normal if you don't know, even if you are from Yunnan, you may not have heard of it; in the orphanage where Xiaolin and I stayed since childhood, there are two childcare workers from ethnic minorities, and I often hear about them You only know about it by telling stories.”

Being punctured face-to-face with the intentional or unintentional concealment, Lin Xia almost wanted to dig three feet into the ground and bury herself in it, trying to calm down and said: "I don't remember these, friends can call you whatever you like. Call me."

Qi Yue didn't seem to care. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't object, he didn't intend to change his words, so he got up and ended the topic: "Ah, let's go have dinner together."

It was just a small detail, Tian Bin wisely stopped talking and brushed his hair a few times: "Okay, let's go, I'll clean up after eating."

The three of them went downstairs and had a simple dinner together.Qi Yue still doesn't talk much today, Lin Xia has been distracted, but there will be no silence at any table with Tian Bin; especially he has not forgotten the purpose of coming here, taking Qi Yue as the first audience, and began to explain that Lin Xia accidentally The video that was shot was full of bitterness: "...We Lin Xia is just an honest kid, how could we have thought that when we went to a shopping mall, we would be regarded as celebrities by such a coincidence, and even be photographed and posted on the Internet... Hey, I didn't take care of it Well he..."

Qi Yue ate while listening, the more he ate, the slower he ate, and finally put down his chopsticks altogether.Although he kept one hand idle on the table, looking polite and focused, and occasionally agreeing with Tian Bin, Lin Xia was sensitive to the fact that he was not willing to listen any longer, and hurriedly persuaded Tian Bin: "Don't hold me back." Let others talk endlessly, let him eat?"

Qi Yue smiled at him: "I'm not very hungry."

Lin Xia was a little depressed.Qi Yue's smile is very standard. He has always smiled at all kinds of people in the crew. It is said that female employees of different ages have unanimously commented that his smile is very charming; but Lin Xia doesn't like him smiling at himself like this.Although this kind of smile is not hypocritical, it has an obvious sense of distance, which makes Lin Xia feel that he is pushing himself away.

Tian Binshun expressed his apology: "I'm sorry buddy, I was too anxious because I was afraid that my colleagues in the crew would misunderstand us Xiaolin! Dude, you are Xiaolin's friend, and you are a righteous person at first glance. If you meet someone who watched that video, please help me We explain explain..."

Seeing that he was eloquent and refused to shut up, Lin Xia quietly stepped on his foot under the table, and began to exert force mercilessly.

Tian Bin was in pain, and stopped talking after speaking, and jumped to his feet to stand up: "Okay, then you eat slowly, I will go to the hotel reception to see if I can add an extra bed in your room for the next two days."

The two saw him walking towards the front desk, but they started chatting with others on the way.Lin Xia was very embarrassed: "Tian Bin is like this, he is cooked...you really don't want to eat? You will be hungry at night if you eat so little."

Qi Yue didn't answer, but asked casually: "He's going to add an extra bed? Is he going to share a room with you?"
