Half a catty

One night's dream was complicated and messy, and He Yue could always hear a voice asking him "Which hand?" As if chanting a mantra, he couldn't bear it anymore, shouted to shut the voice up, but woke himself up from the dream.When I woke up, my head was groggy, but fortunately I didn't have a headache, and suddenly felt a movement of the pillow, He Yue opened his eyes, and there were snowflakes in front of his eyes.

"Tang Fan?" He Yue called out the person's name uncertainly.

"Well, I heard you shouting just now, let me come and see you."

It was only then that He Yue discovered that Tang Fan was wearing a bath towel, and the tips of his hair were dripping with wetness, apparently running out after taking a bath.In autumn, the weather is getting colder every day, even if the air conditioner is turned on, it is easy to catch a cold, so he frowned and drove Tang Fan back.

It was bright outside, He Yue picked up the watch beside the bed, and found that it was almost noon, and after calling the company a few times to explain the work arrangement, he threw his body back on the mattress again.He drank too much in the second half of yesterday, He Yue's last memory was on sending the deputy director away, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

Tang Fan came out after taking a shower, saw He Yue lying on the bed slumped, walked over, climbed onto the bed and sat down cross-legged, pressed He Yue's temples with both hands, and kneaded them with moderate strength.

"Did a tall, young man send me back last night?" He Yue asked him.

Tang Fan paused, and replied: "Yes." After a few seconds, he asked again: "Who is that person?"

"Oh, staff." Feeling Tang Fan's "service", He Yue closed his eyes so comfortably that he didn't see Tang Fan's complicated expression.

It has been a while since Tang Fan moved into He Yue's apartment. Ever since He Yue knew that he was renting out with others, the monthly rent was still quite a lot. A live-in invitation has been issued.

It is not accurate to say that they live together, He Yue has a lot of real estate, and this apartment is just the one he visits most often.Tang Fan had dreamed about it at first, he thought it was the beginning of a relationship, but He Yue was working and socializing almost every day, and it was normal to return late and leave early, which made Tang Fan understand that this relationship was far from the so-called "love". .

"I'm not going to the company today, I'll take you to dinner later?" He Yue dragged back Tang Fan, who was wandering away, with a single sentence.

Sensing that Tang Fan was not in a good mood, He Yue raised his hand and scratched Tang Fan's chin: "Not in a good mood?"

Tang Fan denied it, and He Yue didn't pay much attention. He pushed the other's hand away and sat up: "Wait for me to take a shower, baby."

The coat that was originally stained with alcohol was taken off, and now only a shirt was left on his body with the front open. Tang Fan probably couldn't take it off.He Yue walked to the bathroom while stripping himself naked. When he passed by the door of the bedroom, he stepped on something. He bent down to pick it up. It turned out to be a blue tie.

Wrapping the tie with the clothes he had taken off, He Yue threw it to Tang Fan: "Help me throw it in the laundry room."

Tang Fan picked up a corner of the tie and asked hesitantly, "Is this tie yours?"

"Yes." He Yue affirmed without hesitation.Wasn't this the tie he wore yesterday?

Standing in front of the mirror, He Yue squeezed the toothpaste, glanced at his chest, and suddenly wondered, was the tie he wore yesterday blue or red?

This innocuous question was fleeting in He Yue's mind, but Tang Fan outside was stuck in his throat.

He carried He Yue's clothes and walked towards the laundry, and when he walked through the living room, he stopped in his tracks and looked at the closed door.Last night, shortly after Tang Fan fell asleep, he was awakened by the movement at the door. He immediately realized that He Yue had returned, and ran out while still in a daze, but the moment he opened the door, he woke up instantly.

The strange man was half hugging He Yue, and He Yue's head was lying on the neck of the man, at an extremely ambiguous angle. This scene made Tang Fan feel at a loss.

"I... I'll help him in..." After a short pause, Tang Fan stretched out his hand, but the other party took He Yue back and dodged him.

Tang Fan was stunned, only to hear the other party "understanding" think for him: "You can't carry him."

After he finished speaking, he squeezed into the room involuntarily, and Tang Fan followed behind, seeing that he found the bedroom without much effort, and he didn't see anything. After putting He Yue on the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed very naturally.

Tang Fan stood at the door, watching He Yue put his fingers between He Yue's chest and abdomen, and was about to unbutton He Yue's suit. Suddenly, the other party was taken aback, as if belatedly remembering Tang Fan's existence, and made a gesture to Tang Fan. Gesture, said: "You come."

Tang Fan instinctively resisted this person, but he couldn't let go of He Yue, so he could only walk over obediently.The other party seemed impatient to wait, hooked his fingers on the tie and tugged at it, then he simply took it off and held it in his hand.

Tang Fan walked in front of him, and suddenly heard a short and frivolous laugh.

He understood why he was so thorny under the other party's gaze. It turned out that the other party's eyes were full of sarcasm.

The man walked quickly, throwing the tie on the ground before leaving.

During this process, the communication between them did not exceed ten words, but it gave Tang Fan the illusion of being extremely humiliated.

When Tang Fan cleaned and washed He Yue who was drunk, he found that the tie was the same style as the one on He Yue's neck.

"Why are you sitting here in a daze?"

Tang Fan, who was immersed in memories, was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he found that He Yue was fully dressed.

"Waiting too long?" He Yue rubbed Tang Fan's cheek with the back of his hand and pulled him up from the sofa.

"Are you in a good mood today?"

The Xinghuan planning department is still the same station, and it still has the same cherry-flavored hard candy.

Facing this question, Wang Chengyi couldn't give a definite answer, so he could only say truthfully: "I can't tell."

"What can you tell me?" Xiao Zhou volunteered.

"Well... Then I told you, you have to keep it a secret." Wang Chengyi knew that this "secret" would not survive get off work, but he didn't care.

Xiao Zhou nodded like a pounding garlic.

"I found that the person I like is with someone else." Wang Chengyi curled his lips, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, he changed his tone: "But I'm sure, they will break up soon."

Xiao Zhou swallowed his saliva, and asked gossipingly, "Who do you like?"

"What's wrong? Can't I like people?"

"No." Xiao Zhou was afraid that Wang Chengyi would make a mistake, so he asked in a low voice, "I actually want to ask you what you like..."

"Guess." Wang Chengyi was mysterious.

"There are so many people in the world, how can I guess."

"Be bold, just guess in our company."

Xiao Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief.

During the lunch break, people came in and out one after another. The colleagues from the finance department came to Wang Chengyi to have dinner together. Wang Chengyi winked at Xiao Zhou and left.

"What to eat?"

"Thai food, I'll treat you." Wang Chengyi said.

After starting the car, He Yue asked the person next to him, "What do you want to eat?"

"It will be all right."

He Yue gradually got used to Tang Fan's personality. If it sounds good, he is honest, but if it sounds bad, he is not assertive.He Yue knew that Tang Fan could not be expected to make a choice, so he decided to drive to a restaurant with a more distinctive taste...

Thai restaurant.

The restaurant is built on the edge of the park, next to an artificial lake, it is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.The wind blows from the layers of green, passing over the lake, refreshing.In the distance is the CBD, and you can see the top of the star ring from the window of the restaurant.

In this pleasant environment, He Yue always felt a little bit of unhappiness after he sat down, for no reason, this feeling made the back of his neck itchy, and his hairs stood on end.

He scratched the back of his head, suppressed the creepy discomfort, looked around, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure sitting at a table not far in front of him obliquely, meeting his eyes and smiling sweetly.

Maybe it's such a coincidence that when you come to a place so far away from the company for a meal, you can meet Wang Chengyi. The "culprit" stood up and came towards him, He Yue flashed many thoughts in a second, and finally decided that Wang Chengyi's expression must be something bad.

He said to Tang Fan who was immersed in studying the menu: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette, you watch first."

The restaurant has three floors, and the top is an open-air balcony. However, the weather has been cold recently, and few customers choose to dine on the balcony.He Yue turned around and leaned against the glass fence, facing Wang Chengyi.

"Take your boyfriend out for dinner?" Wang Chengyi asked knowingly.

"You did it on purpose?" Wang Chengyi asked again.

"Where does this start?" He Yue pretended to be stupid.

"You deliberately let me know that you have someone now, and you only asked me to accompany you to socialize yesterday and take you home." Wang Chengyi said firmly.

He Yue disagreed: "I'm introducing you to contacts. I will do my best for the tasks assigned by your father. Although those people yesterday are old-fashioned and rigid, they are much more reliable than the rich second generation who hang out in hotel nightclubs all day long. "

With a half-smile, Wang Chengyi took a step closer to He Yue, and the distance between the two was subtle.

"You know the look on his face when he saw me yesterday, it was so funny."

He Yue's gaze fell on the other's fluttering lips involuntarily, and with just one look, he looked away and said coldly: "I don't know, just speak up if you have something to say."

Wang Chengyi spoke harsh words to Tang Fan without hesitation: "I didn't expect your taste to be so mediocre, are you just this kind of person?"

He Yue seemed unmoved, and said in an orderly manner: "First of all, you don't need to judge my affairs with him. Second, I have a boyfriend now, so you need to keep a certain distance from me." He Yue Just as he was talking, he pushed Wang Chengyi away from him.

"Are you so particular?" Wang Chengyi mocked.

"I'm responsible for each other's health. Don't play so crazy. No matter how good your body is, you can't prevent it." He Yue pursed his lips and smiled earnestly. He looked at the time and said that he should go back.

Walking halfway, He Yue suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and told Wang Chengyi, "Eat more food."

There was only one person left on the balcony, Wang Chengyi leaned against the place He Yue had leaned against, if he got something.

"Responsible" Wang Chengyi chewed on two words. In his short 21 years of life, this word had never appeared at all until just now.

If someone told He Yue that Wang Chengyi had listened to what he said, then he would be pleased to eat two more bowls of rice, but no one would tell him that Wang Chengyi not only listened, but also understood He Yue's original intention. Distorted beyond recognition.

It seems that the dishes in this restaurant are very suitable for Tang Fan's taste, and he cleaned up the table in every possible way.He Yue put down his chopsticks after he was [-]% full. Seeing a small piece of crumbs on the corner of Tang Fan's mouth, he picked up a napkin to wipe it off for him.

"Where do you want to go in the afternoon? How about watching a movie?" He Yue suggested.

Tang Fan looked embarrassed: "I still have class in the afternoon."

"Didn't you graduate?"

"I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination." Tang Fan was a little embarrassed.

He Yue realized that he knew very little about Tang Fan's daily life. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "Just tell me if you need help."

"No, I'm pretty sure." Tang Fan was full of ambition, as if he was sure of everything, He Yue didn't ask any more questions.

As everyone knows, He Yue's "point-to-point" concern is more perfunctory.

He Yue led the planning department to work overtime for a whole week. The script was finally finalized after more than a dozen major revisions. A proper director.

In fact, this list has long been on his desk, and he has come into contact with many directors, big and small, but he has no schedule for capable ones, and He Yue, who has no achievements and no faults, still looks down on him.There are also very well-known directors who expressed their interest in the script, but after several discussions, they had to give up because the director's personal style was too different from the script.

The names inside are ticked off, there are not many left, and one of the Chinese names spelled in English is particularly conspicuous.

This is one of He Yue's achievements at that film festival——Chen Jiepei, a well-known and talented director, immigrated abroad with his family when he was ten years old. Perhaps because of a sudden change in the environment, his studies were not smooth, and he studied intermittently for six years. He was admitted to university after seven years of high school, and he chose a major in finance that the director did not want to do at all. He struggled to graduate with the lowest GPA.

The amazing thing is that Chen Jiepei, who has not received any professional guidance, is almost self-taught. First, he made a big splash on the Internet with a few short films, and then he took some commercials. Someone saw his talent and asked him to Directed a low-cost literary film, this small film unexpectedly won many awards, and Chen Jiepei has since then had his own place in the film industry.

He Yue thinks it should be because Chen Jiepei is not from a major, so there are less dogmatic restraints, and the language of the camera has a unique aesthetic of unconstrained style, which is unique.Although he is not well-known in China, He Yue is very optimistic about his development. Unfortunately, He Yue's optimism is one thing, and whether Chen Jiepei is willing to take this movie is another.

The Yueda team sent several emails to no avail, and Chen Jiepei himself lived in seclusion, so it was even more difficult to talk to him.

"Why do you have a bitter face?"

He Yue is already used to the voices that suddenly come out of his side from time to time, compared to this, he is more afraid of Wang Chengyi's sudden teasing.This person can always find a suitable time to say something ambiguous, and then pull away, executing He Yue's request to "keep a distance" extremely perfectly.

But this is more like torture for He Yue.

He Yue showed Wang Chengyi the list in his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't find a suitable director."

Wang Chengyi walked behind He Yue, took a look, and pointed at a few people at random: "Aren't these people okay, and this Zhang Keke, I just watched the movie directed by him two days ago, it's really funny."

"I don't shoot comedies." He Yue flicked his hand away, and pressed on another name: "I like this one more, but I haven't been able to get in touch with it, so it's probably out of action."

Wang Chengyi's eyes moved. Could it be that he was dozing off and someone was giving him a pillow? The calculations in his mind were running fast, and he said after deliberation: "This person..."

"Mr. He, someone is looking for you." Seeing that the door was open, Assistant Li poked his head in and said, "A Mr. Tang."

A friend's hot spring hotel opened, and he was invited to stay for two days. He Yue had to sell his face, and wanted to take Tang Fan to have fun, so he made an appointment today when Tang Fan got out of class and the company came to him.

He Yue lowered his eyes and focused on his own hands, Ying De casually said, "Well, bring him up."

"Okay." After Assistant Li finished speaking, there was no more sound.

"What did you just say about this person?" He Yue was curious about what Wang Chengyi hadn't finished speaking, but there was only silence to answer him.

"Wang Chengyi?" He Yue looked to his left and right, there was nothing, such a big living person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Haunted and haunted all day long..."

Wang Chengyi caught up with Assistant Li who was about to go downstairs to pick him up: "Sister, I'll help you."

"Huh?" Assistant Li was flattered by this sudden enthusiasm.

"You are busy with your work. I have nothing to do anyway." Wang Chengyi discussed with Assistant Li in an unquestionable tone.

Then Assistant Li naturally had no reason to refuse, but was full of suspicion and turned around every three steps.

Wang Chengyi waved at her, telling her to put her heart in her stomach, turned her head to look at the blurred reflection on the metal door of the elevator, straightened her clothes, and showed a confident smile.

Tang Fan stared at his toes in front of the reception desk, feeling bored, a shadow suddenly enveloped him, and a familiar voice sounded above his head: "Come with me."

In the elevator, Tang Fan huddled in a corner, trying to keep himself away from Wang Chengyi who was showing his imposing manner around him.As soon as the elevator door opened, Wang Chengyi walked away with his long legs. Tang Fan felt that the other party would embarrass him, but he had never been to He Yue's company. Can follow Wang Chengyi.

After turning left and right for three to five minutes, he still hadn't seen He Yue, but there were fewer and fewer people around. Tang Fan finally bit the bullet and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"What are you panicking about? I'm just chatting with you." Wang Chengyi stopped in front of a door and pushed it open with one hand, only to see that there were many piles of paper and disposable utensils piled up inside, which was a utility room.

"We don't know each other, so we have nothing to say." Tang Fan was on guard and refused to enter.

"But I know you, Tang Fan." Relying on his stature, Wang Chengyi grabbed Tang Fan's shoulders and pushed him in forcefully. After closing the door, he said modestly, "To show my sincerity, my name is Wang Chengyi."

Tang Fan didn't care what his name was, and kept asking, "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to help you." Seeing that he was agitated, Wang Chengyi backed away, spread his hands and explained: "I can't do anything to you, listen to me, and I'll take you to find He Yue."

Tang Fan didn't believe it, there seemed to be an abyss between the two of them, you enter and I retreat, you enter again and I retreat again, if Wang Chengyi hadn't blocked the only exit of this room, he might have fled the door long ago.

"You are taking the postgraduate entrance examination, right? It seems to be very important to you." Wang Chengyi cut to the point, his attitude was as common as chatting and discussing with his friends, and he said with his fingers: "J University, F University, F Polytechnic, and What's going on?"

Seeing that Wang Chengyi was very fond of his target school, Tang Fan's mood could no longer be described as fear.

Wang Chengyi chased after the victory: "I'm not sure, but why don't you let He Yue help you? It's not difficult for him..."

"Of course, for me, it's just a matter of little effort."

Tang Fan said tremblingly, "I can pass the exam myself."

"Self-knowledge is the most important thing in a person, and it's not a good habit to be brave. For example, there is an opportunity in front of you right now." Wang Chengyi thought for a while, and made a decision for Tang Fan: "Let's go to F University. Far... In fact, as long as you pay a small price, you can choose anywhere except J City."

"I do not need."

Tang Fan's categorical decision made Wang Chengyi's expression blank for a moment, and then he burst out laughing.

"No way, you really fell in love with him!" Hearing something like a fairy tale, Wang Chengyi laughed so hard that he finally calmed down. The corners of his eyes were still wet from laughing, so he mercilessly threw the last A Straw: "So what about him?"
