Excessive

Du Shuyao packed up his things and went back to City L on the second day after the finale, and Sheng Jiang was with him, and Sheng Jiang invited him out for dinner that night.

Sheng Jiang chose a western restaurant again this time, and the two of them sat by the window facing each other, but more than a month had passed in a blink of an eye.

The two people who got along day and night suddenly separated, somewhat unaccustomed, so Sheng Jiang was a little depressed.

In fact, it's not like they won't be able to see each other in the future. The promotion period of "Dark Night" is coming soon, and the two of them are in the same city. As long as they have time, they can always see each other.

Sheng Jiang didn't know what was wrong with him. He used to want to finish filming quickly so that he could go back and rest for two days, but this time he was so reluctant.

"Shuyao, eat steak?"

"I want pasta." Du Shuyao really couldn't get used to the bloodshot steak that Sheng Jiang often ordered.

Sheng Jiang looked at the menu and said to the waiter next to him, "One steak, one pasta, and another mousse cake."

"OK, just a second."

"Shuyao, you don't like western food, do you?" Sheng Jiang asked suddenly.

"...It's okay." Du Shuyao didn't understand what he wanted to say.

"Actually, I saw it the first time I invited you to eat Western food, but do you know why I still insist on treating you to eat?"

Du Shuyao shook his head.

Then Sheng Jiang said very seriously: "Because I want you to think of me when you see Western food in the future."

Du Shuyao laughed, why are the people around him so naive, his younger brother is, so is Sheng Jiang who is sitting opposite, and... Lu Zhenqing is too.

"Are you still afraid that I will forget you?" Du Shuyao said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true." Sheng Jiang retorted.

Du Shuyao feels that Sheng Jiang always thinks too much about irrelevant things. He and Sheng Jiang are good friends now. He doesn't have many friends in the first place, and few of them can stick to each other. Therefore, Sheng Jiang's worry is pure. is redundant.

"No." Du Shuyao replied.

"That's good, come on, cheers!" After speaking, Sheng Jiang drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp.

Du Shuyao was not as good at drinking as he was, but he couldn't take advantage of his kindness, so he had no choice but to be bored as well.

Halfway through the meal, Du Shuyao received a call from Du Zhengyang.

Knowing that his brother was coming back today, Du Zhengyang wished he could come over quickly, but he had no choice but to ask for too much leave before, and the teacher refused to give him any more leave, and threatened to fail other subjects, so Du Zhengyang had to obediently finish the evening elective class.

Seeing Du Shuyao answering the phone, Sheng Jiang guessed that the other party was busy, and the meal was almost finished, so the two broke up at the entrance of the western restaurant.

When Du Shuyao got off the elevator, he saw his younger brother squatting in front of his house, looking like a homeless stray dog.

"Zhengyang, don't you have a key, why don't you go in?"

Seeing his brother coming back, Du Zhengyang threw himself into his arms and said, "Brother, you are finally back, I miss you so much."

"Miss me? Do you still miss my cooking?" Du Shuyao laughed at him.

"Think about everything." Du Zhengyang's eyes almost bent into a bridge.

"Come on in, I'll cook for you." Du Shuyao shook his hand. The ingredients he just bought from the supermarket were almost all his brother's favorite food.

Du Zhengyang was so hungry that he came right after class. After waiting for his brother for a long time, he was finally able to eat.

"By the way, brother, this is for you." Du Zhengyang took out a box from his backpack.

Du Shuyao opened it, and inside was a black shirt with a very simple style, but it was worth a lot at first glance, at least it would cost Du Zhengyang more than a month's living expenses.

"You bought it?" Du Shuyao hesitated.

Du Zhengyang was seen through at a glance, a little embarrassed, and said: "...No, it's Brother Lu, but I chose the style!"

Du Zhengyang quickly explained.

In fact, Du Zhengyang fell in love with this dress when he was shopping in Hong Kong. He liked it very much, but he didn't have his own size, and the price was even more frighteningly expensive.

Lu Zhenqing, who was on the side, saw his entanglement, and suggested to him that he could buy it as a gift for Du Shuyao. Du Zhengyang thought it was a good idea, and this dress would look good on his brother.

But here comes the problem again, the price is more than one month's living expenses, and my brother is not here, so I have very little pocket money left, let alone such an expensive dress, even if I buy another ordinary dress I can't afford it either.

Du Zhengyang thought for a while, and finally put down the dress reluctantly.

As soon as he put it down, Lu Zhenqing picked up that expensive dress and went to pay for it.

"Brother Lu, this is not good..." Du Zhengyang was so embarrassed that his face turned red. It was already troublesome for Lu Zhenqing to leave work and take him out to play, but now he has to buy clothes for him, no matter how ignorant he is Can't do that either.

Coming out of a wealthy family, one still has basic upbringing.

"It's nothing bad." Lu Zhenqing smiled dotingly at him. The money is indeed a lot for Du Zhengyang, a student, but for him, it's just a few meals.

Du Zhengyang still felt sorry, so he said in a low voice: "I will return it to Brother Lu..."

Lu Zhenqing couldn't help laughing when he heard him say so seriously, the person in front of him was like a child who would never grow up.

"No, just treat it as a gift from me to your brother." Lu Zhenqing thought for a while and said, it seems that he has never bought anything for Du Shuyao, and Du Shuyao has never asked for it. The jiao brand-name bag is in hand, and the breakup fee is at least a sports car.Many people stay by his side just for money and face. Compared with these, Du Shuyao's request seems to be too little.

"Okay then, I'll tell my brother!" Du Zhengyang had no choice but to accept it with the audacity of not being able to refund the payment.

Speaking of this, Du Shuyao remembered that his younger brother went to Hong Kong with Lu Zhenqing.

"Zhengyang, you... how are you doing with Lu Zhenqing in Hong Kong?" Du Shuyao was worried that Lu Zhenqing would do something out of the ordinary to Du Zhengyang.

"Okay, Big Brother Lu took care of me and took me to many places. We even went to see dolphins at sea. It's a pity that you couldn't go together." When it comes to this matter, Du Zhengyang always feels a little regretful. Too busy, I seldom see him go out to travel and relax.

"That's good..."

"Brother, don't you worry about Brother Lu?" Du Zhengyang said jokingly.

Du Shuyao smiled and didn't say anything. He was really worried about everyone, but he was worried about Lu Zhenqing.

After the meal, Du Zhengyang insisted on refusing to go back, so Du Shuyao had no choice but to call the old house to let them not worry.

After the phone call, he tidied up the study and asked Du Zhengyang to sleep in his own room and the study by himself.

During the following period, Du Shuyao was free, sitting in the study every day, reading books and reading newspapers, he couldn't live more comfortably.

There was still some time before the movie was released, and Du Shuyao didn't take on any new movies. Chen Han knew that he spent a lot of effort on this movie, day and night, so he asked the company for half a month's leave.

The company was busy promoting newcomers and didn't want to spend too much time on Du Shuyao, so he agreed.

Sheng Jiang went to France to shoot a MV two days ago, and he didn't forget to ask Du Shuyao out for dinner before leaving, this time he didn't invite him to eat western food or Japanese food.

In mid-December, Du Shuyao received the edited movie from Puhe.

Exactly one and a half hours.I heard from Pu He that he plans to release it in Taiwan at the end of the year, and the film has already been handed over to the selection committee of the New Arts Awards, but the films participating in the selection this year are not easy, and the possibility of winning the award is not high.

Du Shuyao, who had just finished watching the movie, received a call from Lu Zhenqing.

"Hey?"

"Where are you?" On the other end of the phone was Lu Zhenqing's unrecognizable voice.

"at home."

"Pick out a formal dress and accompany me to a reception at night."

"……understood."

"I'll pick you up tonight."

"it is good."

Although Du Shuyao didn't understand why Lu Zhenqing asked him to go, he went to the closet to try on a few clothes.

In the end, I chose a more stable black suit with a wine red tie.

Lu Zhenqing came early in the afternoon, before Du Shuyao had time to change into formal clothes.

Du Shuyao looked down from the window, and saw the red sports car that Lu Zhenqing was driving today at a glance.

"Mr. Lu, wait a minute, I'll go down right away." Du Shuyao didn't expect him to come so early, and it's not yet four o'clock.

"No hurry, it's still early, I'll go up and sit for a while." Lu Zhenqing closed the car door, looked up and looked upstairs, just in time to see Du Shuyao talking on the phone with himself by the window, and then entered the apartment building without any hesitation.

Du Shuyao couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree. After hanging up the phone, he realized that he was still wearing pajamas and was about to change when the doorbell rang.
