unspeakable ice

After nearly a month, as Xia Cong said, he did not appear again.

Changhang's work finally passed the selection of the director group, which means that they were officially invited to participate in the production of the film. Although the final production space accounted for a small proportion, this milestone channel development still made Wang Haoyang and the others very excited. With tears in my eyes, I called everyone to a meeting in the afternoon to announce the good news.

Yu Xiaolong has been busy with this with all his body and mind during this period, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Strictly speaking, this is also the first time he has received such a formal recognition from the industry other than the market.

Who doesn't like to be affirmed, especially those who value and go all out, Yu Xiaolong admits that he can't be exempt from this point, because even when he was doing the most despicable job back then, he hoped that at least Uncle Yin would be satisfied.

In the evening, the team had a dinner with an unprecedented scale. They were all young people who had just graduated. They were generally younger than Yu Xiaolong. They could eat and make noise.

Shi Jie called to check the post, and Wang Haoyang answered it. Hearing about this situation, he immediately drove the bread and set off on the road.

"Your friend is really interesting. I said I would call you a car but I wouldn't do it." Wang Haoyang joked with a smile, "I also said that I would like to drink in his shop in the future, and he invited me."

"..." Yu Xiaolong leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes were a little distracted, and he couldn't hear what he said clearly. He was indeed too strong to drink, and he would deteriorate even more if he didn't drink for a long time. Fortunately, he was in a good mood this time, so he didn't want to vomit. .

Shi Jie came very quickly and didn't make him wait too long. Since Yu Xiaolong drove Xiao Jinbei into the repair shop last time to consider a major repair, he seemed to have improved a lot.

"Master, if we can't drink, we can just drink less. I'm too old to chase after me every day." Shi Jie had an old problem, and he said while fastening his seat belt, "Everyone thinks I'm long-winded, what the hell? There’s just no one to worry about.”

"...No problem." Yu Xiaolong slumped in a comfortable position.

"It's not a fart." Shi Jie scolded, "Don't think I don't know, telling you to be careful when you go out is completely ignored."

He threw a bottle of water to Yu Xiaolong and asked him if he wanted to vomit, if he wanted to vomit, bring him a plastic bag, don't vomit in the car later, he won't wash it.

Yu Xiaolong shook his head, his head was heavy from the alcohol, as if a jar of water was bubbling in it, but he didn't feel dizzy, he opened the car window slightly, and the little bit of wind that poured in was cool, and it was just right.

Hearing that they were selected, Shi Jie happily chatted with him about the movie. Yu Xiaolong was bored and hummed at him from time to time. He felt the wind blowing his hands a little cold, so he groped into the pocket of his down jacket .

In the past two days, a new round of rain started, and there were two light snowfalls in the middle. He couldn't bear the cold when he went out, so he put on the down jacket he took off before.

He stretched out his hand to the bottom, and the tip of his ring finger seemed to be caught in some kind of ring. It felt a little hard to the touch, but it was a little warmer than his fingers. Yu Xiaolong forgot what it was, and took it out to his eyes, trying to see it clearly.

"What is this, a ring?" Shi Jie noticed his movement, "Where did it come from?"

The ring was gently moved on the fingertips, and the arc of shaking up and down stopped suddenly.

"It was stolen." Yu Xiaolong said.

"Pull it down." Shi Jie smiled, "I still need to grab a broken wooden ring, lend me some tools tomorrow, and my brother can sharpen one for you."

Yu Xiaolong also laughed, turned to the other side to see, it was quite broken, the paint was almost gone, and it was so mottled that it would not be too prickly to wear around the neck.

To be honest he really forgot.

During the month when Xia Cong didn't show up, Yu Xiaolong gradually began to doubt whether those absurd and farce-like meetings were just his subjective imagination. In fact, nothing happened, and life was still the same as before.

You see, Shi Jie doesn't know anything, and no one around knows, except himself.

And he doubted the purpose of Xia Cong's appearance, and felt that everything was so unreasonable. He had clearly given up on him two years ago and chose to marry another woman, so how could he suddenly come back and flirt with him again?

But now this ring that shouldn't be here tells him that it all existed and happened. Xia Cong not only came to him, but also told him that he loved him very much in the underground garage that day.

Yu Xiaolong can still recall the expression on his face when he said this, pretending to be so affectionate.

"Bullshit."

"What are you talking about?" Shi Jie asked.

"Give me...a plastic bag, quick." Yu Xiaolong's cheeks suddenly felt sour, he swallowed, trying to swallow the discomfort back, but it's okay if he couldn't bear it. violent convulsions.

"Damn it!" Shi Jie hurriedly pulled over and braked, turned around to grab the plastic bag Zhao Fei had prepared for loading in the car, but it was too late, Yu Xiaolong grabbed the center console, bent over and vomited.

"..." Shi Jie was so angry that he whipped him with a plastic bag, "Yu Xiaolong, did you do it on purpose! Ah! Didn't you! Smile, you fucking have the face to smile, laugh at your uncle!"

"Just wash my car when you get back. Don't fall asleep until you finish washing." Shi Jie threw the newly bought floor mats on the side of the road and threw away the paper towels that could be wiped with water, and he went back In the car, the windows are fully opened for ventilation.

"Okay." Yu Xiaolong leaned against the window like a tree with a crooked neck, with half of his head hanging outside the car, and Shi Jie didn't dare to drive too fast after he got back on the road, because the wind was too strong.

After a while, it was almost done. The main thing was that people couldn't stand the blowing any longer. He called Yu Xiaolong and told him to raise his head. He was about to close the window.

Yu Xiaolong moved, his head was retracted, but his hand was stretched out to the window. As the window continued to rise, Shi Jie suddenly felt that something was thrown out, and it flashed past his peripheral vision.

Just as he was about to ask what it was, he turned around and saw that Yu Xiaolong's eyes were red from the blow, tears were about to flow out, so he hurriedly pulled him and closed the window completely.

The phone rang twice, and the sound should be a text message. Yu Xiaolong rarely reads the text message, but this time he clicked on it. Not only that, but he squinted his eyes trying to read the words clearly.

【congratulations. 】

【proud of you. 】

Someone told him that there was no note on the number, but he guessed it almost immediately, moved his finger, and deleted it.

The next day Yu Xiaolong didn't go to the company, he slept until noon, woke up and ate something casually, his head hurt a bit, he lay on the bed, looked at his phone for a while and fell asleep again, until Shi Jie called him to eat I didn't wake up until after dinner.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had a good night's sleep, especially during the few days when Xia Cong appeared, the persistent insomnia made him feel confused for half of the day.

Yu Xiaolong washed up briefly and went out. In this kind of sleet weather, there were still many people in the bar street. He turned in from the alley, and on the way to the back door, he saw Xiao Zhou squatting in the distance feeding cat.

There were few stray cats in Bar Street before, but it has only increased in the past two years. This one came here about a week ago. Its yellow fur is drenched and it looks like it is just full term. No one cares about the weather. But one night.

Xiao Zhou kindly adopted it, and made a simple nest for it by the back door with old clothes in cardboard boxes.

"Why don't you go in and stand here?" Yu Xiaolong saw that his ears were turning red from the cold.

"Wait for Luo Shaoqin." Xiao Zhou said, "He will come over to get the cat later."

"Ok?"

"Isn't it that we can't raise it here? He said he will raise it."

Xiao Zhou took the cat litter and turned it around, and then turned it around again, the old clothes inside flew out, and the wet cardboard was almost torn apart by him. Seeing Yu Xiaolong watching, he curled his lips, "Will he buy it over there?" I got a new one, and it’s useless.”

Yu Xiaolong nodded, and wanted to leave, Xiao Zhou called him back, "... About the last time, Brother Long, can you chat with me a few more words?"

He looked very sullen, his head almost hanging on his chest.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Xiaolong gathered his clothes and sat down with him, "To make a long story short, it's cold."

"Oh..." Xiao Zhou responded, sniffing, "I just finished chatting with you that day, and I will think about it after I go back."

"What did you come up with?"

"I..." He got stuck again, hesitated to speak, a sentence was brewing in his mouth for a long time, and finally said it as if he had made a lifelong determination, "I might really like him, and I would be happy to stay with him .”

"Doesn't he like you too, so what are you worried about?"

"But the key is that he is a man." Xiao Zhou scratched his hair, "You know I used to... I never thought about it, just this, this is very subversive, it's not normal."

It's quite abnormal, Yu Xiaolong wanted to say, just like on this street, you can do whatever you want when you enter the ear, but once you leave, you are a different kind that ordinary people can't understand, but he can't tell Xiao Zhou what he said. explain.

It is said that they will live up to the expectations of another person. It is true that they are heterogeneous, but they are heterogeneous in human beings. The first thing they cannot escape is human emotions and desires.

After the cat finished eating, the cat came to rub their feet and purred contentedly while rubbing. Xiao Zhou pushed it into the box, saying that it was too cold outside, but it insisted on running outside, so he just pulled off his clothes and put it in his arms up.

"So I just want to ask," Xiao Zhou looked at him, "You used to... who, how did you live?"

"I'm different from you," Yu Xiaolong understood what he wanted to say, "I always like men."

"Ah?" Xiao Zhou was surprised, Yu Xiaolong thought it was no secret between them.

"I rely on what I always thought was Xu Yinliang's relationship, he harassed you so much..." Xiao Zhou said angrily, "Hey, I saw him two days ago, and he still looked dead."

Yu Xiaolong snorted softly, a little indifferent.

"And this idiot actually has the face to come over and ask me about you. My fists were itchy at that time. Really, it's a shame that I didn't step on it back then."

"It's over, it doesn't matter to me what happened to him." Yu Xiaolong smiled, and said, "Luo Shaoqin is very nice."

"I know he's pretty good. He... told me that day, that he met me when he didn't know you, and he was there." Xiao Zhou pointed to You Er next door, "I don't remember anything about me. I’ve been there before, and I didn’t catch up with you when you cleaned up the vegetable poles, and he also said that he came to me later, who knows.”

"Really?" Yu Xiaolong didn't know there was such a relationship.

Xiao Zhou put his arms around the cat and sighed, "It would be great if he was so nice. I'm still struggling. I just feel that if my parents find out later, they have to beat me to death. They didn't like me before." I mess with..."

Yu Xiaolong slapped him hard on the head, and he could only listen to it, and couldn't give any advice, so he decided to do it himself, not to say that experience can make him a senior, and that he himself has failed.

Shi Jie called him and asked him where he was, and told him an hour ago why he hadn't arrived yet.

Yu Xiaolong told him not to rush, it was at the back door.

"It's not me urging, someone is looking for it."

"Who?"

"The surname is Xia." Shi Jie was a little annoyed, "Come in and see if you recognize him."
