Before taking his seat, Tan Zixian slightly raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"Three and 10 minutes should be enough."

If the conversation is too long, the conversation will become more and more deadlocked, and you will not be able to get out of the deadlock; if it is too short, it is not good, either you can’t continue the conversation or you have already started a fight-he thinks it should be appropriate to go back in 10 minutes, even if the two people really The fight is also just to the extent that it can make people happy, but it will not be disabled.

He found a place to sit down, and then calmly tapped the hardwood bar with his index finger to let the bartender come over. He seemed very used to the bar environment: "Let them talk about their own affairs, and we drink ours. Look at you What wine do you want?"

I didn't hear Qi Xi's answer for a while, so I looked sideways and saw that his eyes were still fixed on the direction he came from, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was worried about the progress of the conversation.

Tan Zixian snapped his fingers in front of him, and he suddenly returned to reality, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, what did you ask me just now?"

The corner of Tan Zixian's lips slightly raised, and he took the cocktail list handed over by the bartender, but did not give it to Qi Yu, and monopolized the choice: "It's too late, I'll make the decision for you if you don't answer. Mingming came out to accompany I'm still distracted while drinking, so I'll order you the most expensive one, which will make your heart ache."

"Haha," Qi Jin really laughed this time, sat down next to him, and said generously, "Order, order, and your cup too. I will pay the bill, as an apology."

Tan Zixian ordered two cocktails specially recommended by this restaurant. Qi Yu was given a kind of wine that was based on colorless rum and brandy, revealing a thin golden color, and he chose a kind of absinthe A milky white wine paired with wine and champagne.Both belong to strong alcohol, but the former is slightly inferior to the latter.

After listening to the bartender's introduction, Qi Min stopped Tan Zixian when he was placing an order: "You still have to record tomorrow, how about drinking such strong wine?"

Tan Zixian smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I drink this kind of wine often, and I'm used to it, besides, I'm a good drinker. What about you?"

Qi Jin smiled and said, "I'm also good at drinking, and I usually have to drink with the leader when I'm socializing, and I've practiced it."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the night when he and Shen Yan drank together before—on that rainy night, Shen Yan took his hand drowsily, letting him lead the way like a bewildered child, and suddenly hugged him by the door. She hugged him and begged him in a low voice not to leave... Finally, amidst the pattering rain outside the window, they had their first kiss on that bed, and also had the tenderness of embracing and sleeping together for the first time.

The past was played back scene by scene like a movie, and a trace of warmth involuntarily flowed from his eyes.

"He can't drink very well." It didn't specify who "he" refers to, but anyone can guess the tone of doting, "A glass of red wine can make him drunk, although he is very drunk when he is drunk." cute."

"Well, that guy's drinking capacity is also very poor." Tan Zixian's next words were like a small drop of ink sinking through the water, the sound was not loud, but the ink dispersed in the water all of a sudden, just like the slight shock in Qi Jin's heart Feeling the shock, "This, it's probably a family inheritance—"

Qi Min was stunned for a moment, and the words were interrupted for a moment.

He stared blankly at Tan Zixian and blinked his eyes a few times, and it took him a while to regain his voice and ability to think.

"you say……"

"I said, family inheritance." The person beside him repeated it slowly, and took a sip of the wine without changing his expression, "Anyway, you will know sooner or later."

Qi Jin heard himself take a slight breath, and subconsciously covered his mouth.

His heart seemed to hit his temple, and the rapid flow of blood made him a little dizzy.

"How come... that guy, he is obviously not named Shen..." Because he was too shocked, he still muttered to himself to deny it at the end.

Tan Zixian took the conversation at this time.

"Yes, but his mother's surname is Shen—"

"Shen".

This surname and the people under this surname should have been the most embarrassing and inappropriate topic.However, Shen Yan chose to bring it up.

Hearing that the other party spoke first, Qiu Tianyang was stunned for a moment, then unconsciously let out a wry smile, his eyelids drooping.

Suddenly it wasn't embarrassing anymore—it was more bitter than embarrassing.

"Uncle...it's okay," he clasped his hands and put them on his knees in as natural a position as possible, rubbing his thumbs mechanically from side to side as a way to calm himself, "he is no longer in Beijing, you Don't worry. You won't meet him here."

There was silence in the box.

Shen Yan remained silent for a long time, wondering if he didn't want to ask more details—for example, the whereabouts of his father.

Shen Yan didn't continue, but Qiu Tianyang started to say slowly: "Uncle has resigned some time ago and went abroad to settle down. Now he is in Canada because..."

The conversation stopped here, and the tone of the voice became more cautious while lowering the voice.

"Because, your sister... was admitted by the University of Toronto as a graduate student, and went there for further study, so..."

The person at the other end of the seat remained silent, with an indifferent expression, and no reaction at all.But "no reaction at all" is better for Qiu Tianyang.

At least, it's much, much better than the old hatred mixed with deep pain...

"You don't seem to have such a big reaction to your uncle's family."

When you think about it, you blurt it out unconsciously.

When Qiu Tianyang said it, he was also taken aback, and shut his mouth hastily, regretting his slip of the tongue.Shen Yan just sat silently, and he didn't even respond to this sentence at all, like a clay sculpture.

"I know, uncle was sorry for you back then." After a long time, Qiu Tianyang finally put the topic of this conversation on the table, "I also—"

"Enough." At this time, Shen Yan suddenly interrupted him, as if he didn't want to hear the rest.But Qiu Tianyang insisted.

"Can you listen to me once? I have never had a chance to talk face-to-face with you like this. Just once, please listen to me."

Shen Yan didn't answer, but didn't veto it either.

Qiu Tianyang took a deep breath, the palms of his left and right hands were sweating, wet and cold.Although the beginning of his story has the kind of bright colors that every house is decorated with during the Chinese New Year——

"When I was young, my uncle and his family would come to visit us every Chinese New Year and holiday, to eat and chat together... In my impression, my uncle cared about his family, was prudent, and always thought of his family. The three of them were always in front of me. It was fun and seemed very happy. At that time, my father went out of town to discuss business every three days, and my mother was busy with work, so there were very few opportunities to get together, so I envied my uncle's family." He smiled a little downcastly, and confessed his thoughts, "I admire him, admire him, and once regarded him as a role model for a husband and a role model for a father in my mind."

Yes, role models.

The man's appearance is very serious and unsmiling, but he often has an unexpectedly gentle expression in front of his relatives.

The man's wife is dignified, well-behaved, and of a very respectable parental background.

The man's daughter is very clever and lovely.

Both the man himself and the man's family are like a perfect template for him to dream of, making him want to copy his own life on it.

"I didn't know I was wrong until that day..."

He stated one by one, the original warm tone was peeling off layer by layer like unpacked wrapping paper, and finally the black box inside was revealed.

"That day, I heard my aunt crying to my mother in the living room while accusing my uncle of having a woman outside, and that the son that woman gave birth to my uncle was already in his 20s, and he was still arrested by the Shen family with his uncle's acquiescence. Secretly brought up..."

His breathing stagnated slowly, and there was a sense of pain in his voice.

"My... beliefs of the past 20 or [-] years completely collapsed overnight. Do you understand the blow that is similar to being betrayed?"

Shen Yan remained silent, her lips were tightly pressed from beginning to end, but her eyes were lower than before.

Qiu Tianyang continued to speak numbly.

"I, just say this on my own behalf...My aunt is very kind to me. Since I was a child, every time she came to visit, she would bring me delicious and interesting things, and her smile was always very kind. When I heard that my uncle Doing such a sorry thing to her outside made me angry all of a sudden, and I was trembling with anger."

Speaking of this, he laughed out of embarrassment "heh".

"And I actually found out that I know you—yes, I also found out that it was not a coincidence that I knew you. It was grandpa...that is, your grandpa made it happen."

——【Tian Yang, can I ask you to bring someone with me? 】

The old man who had not seen him for a long time unexpectedly appeared at the door of his daughter's house one day. After entering the door silently, he didn't say much. He just gently held his grandson's hand, chatted about the current situation without a word, and then talked about how he was with a few friends. When dubbing on the Internet, I suddenly said such a sentence.

Bring someone?

What's so hard about bringing someone along.

At that time, there were only five of them, and online dubbing was just in its infancy. There was no concept of an "online dubbing circle". One point lively, very good.What's more, the old man has a very special reason: [The child has a speech disorder, I hope this can help him get out slowly, and you can also make friends].

So he agreed without thinking about it.

Although his mother, who was sitting and listening at the time, looked a little evasive and scrupled, he didn't delve into it very much, and obtained the other party's online contact information from the old man.

There are two differences between contacting online and contacting in reality.

One, no meeting is required.

Two, no real name is required.

"Grandpa deliberately concealed your name and identity. I hope that we can get to know each other without knowing each other, and gradually get acquainted, and then slowly repair the relationship between you and the rest of the Shen family in our generation." Qiu Tianyang whispered, with At the same time, he looked down at the ground.

The line of water that was accidentally spilled on the ground happened to be between him and Shen Yan, drawing a line of dots and dots.

But the water marks will dry up slowly over time, and the boundaries will always disappear little by little.

"He always insisted... You have the blood of the Shen family on your body, and you should come back to us one day and become a member of our family."

It's a pity that the paper couldn't contain the fire after all-in less than a month, the man's wife found out about the plan, and went to his mother crying in grief and anger.

"I pretended not to know that your Shen family raised him secretly for so many years. He didn't make any moves, so I endured it. Now you plan to take that illegitimate son back in a fair manner? You are a big sister Also turn a blind eye, then what are our mother and daughter in the Shen family?" The tearful woman left him, who didn't know how to speak, so only the silent mother, as if holding on to a piece of driftwood tightly. Grabbing his sleeve tightly, "Tianyang! Tianyang! Do you even know who you're making friends with!"

He didn't know, he didn't understand until now.Understand who this "old six" who was introduced to the dubbing team by himself and became the No.6 member is.

At the same time as he understood, a deep sense of anger welled up in his heart——

"At that time, I only had one idea," he said word by word, "that is...how to teach you, the son of the mistress, so hard that you can no longer cheer up."

At that time, whether in terms of traditional morality or public opinion, people generally held a one-sided and strong critical attitude towards the third party in marriage, and they also deeply despised illegitimate children.

"They must have only given birth to a daughter because they disliked me, so they want to keep the son born to your uncle and an outside woman. In the future, the surname 'Shen' will be passed on to inherit the family property, and the child born to me, the first wife, and your uncle will be upright. But there is no good end, is there any reason for this?"

The woman said so in a shrill voice.

Even though these were just the reasons she imagined, but he, who didn't know what had happened, completely took these reasons as real.

——Yeah, instead of being on the side of the first wife, why not be on the side of the mistress?

——Doesn’t everyone understand this truth?

"what……"

After Qiu Tianyang finished speaking such a long paragraph, his throat was slightly hoarse due to lack of water, and the sentences became more and more intermittent as they went on, and it really stopped here.He rubbed his temples decadently with his hands, and a few locks of hair fell down slightly with his movements, which was similar to his current mental state.

He suddenly took a long breath, pulled out the cork of the bottle of wine in front of him, poured half a glass, and drank it down.

At this moment, Shen Yan's gaze was raised to face him, but she just watched silently as the wine in the glass emptied little by little, without saying a word in the end.

Qiu Tianyang frowned tightly and finished drinking, then put the cup on the table, and said the last thing he didn't want to say with the help of alcohol.

"At that time, I was far from restraining my temperament, especially when I entered the online supporting circle. After I had so many small fans, I became arrogant. After I decided to teach you a lesson, I continued to smile and say that I would help you overcome you. In fact, I have been secretly waiting to see how you make a fool of yourself."

"But I didn't expect you to be so serious, to work with everyone in a down-to-earth manner, the second child and the others all liked you very much, and instead let me see my own shortcomings. At that time... I was very similar to this Tongque Terrace now. I know the advantage of my own voice, and use this advantage to hang out in the circle leisurely. The fans' compliments make me self-righteous, and I don't care about dubbing at all. So when I saw that you are really serious After practicing and playing against each other, I... want to defeat you even more."

He paused, his voice trembling.The process of acknowledging this past was harder and more shameful than he had imagined.

Only when I said it myself did I realize how bad my behavior was at that time——

"I never let you have the chance to play the lead role. I always give you the most out-of-the-ordinary and least-desired characters in the script, and even find some...books with illegitimate children and throw them out for you to play. Listen to your role in SK. I made frequent mistakes when I was on the stage, and I was happy in front of the screen."

He reached out his hand now, wanting to pour a second glass of wine.

Shen Yan suddenly clasped the wine glass tightly with her hands, not letting him touch it.

"Enough." This is the second time Shen Yan said this sentence tonight, it was still tasteless, but this time it was obviously a little more depressed.

Qiu Tianyang stared at his hand in front of him in a daze, his eyes were ups and downs, the focus was not on that hand, but dazedly turning around in the reflection of the cup under the lamp, and his words were a little scattered.

"When I found out that you were a comrade... I was very happy and ran to tell my aunt that it was absolutely impossible for you to snatch your sister's inheritance right, because you couldn't pass on the Shen family's lineage."

"I actually don't discriminate against people with this sexual orientation, because there are many such people in the CV... At that time, I would say that in order to clear up a problem for my aunt, but I didn't expect... ...I didn't expect that she would reveal this matter in front of uncle and the others to insult you."

Shen Yan's lips moved slightly, and her tone was like a blank sheet of paper without any trace of emotion: "I am me, whether she says it or not, I will only be myself."

Just like in the third year of high school, when the woman discovered his existence for the first time and made a scene in the school so that everyone knew that he was an illegitimate child, he did not deny it.

Because facts are facts.

Who said it, when it was said, and to whom it was said... can't change these hard facts.

"I'm the same now as I was before. I don't need my father to agree with me, I don't need him to interfere in my life choices, I don't need any of his property..." His eyes were fixed on Qiu Tianyang, and his breathing was suppressed by all his strength. Feeling slightly anxious, he said hoarsely, "But there is one thing that I will never let go."

Qiu Tianyang was startled.

After a while, he smiled with a pale face, an ugly smile.

"You mean the house you grew up in?" he asked, clasping fingers as hard as they could.Even so, he couldn't hide his embarrassment, "Is that... the house where I almost obeyed my aunt's wishes and kicked you out during my grandfather's hospitalization?"

At this time, Shen Yan suddenly stood up, grabbing his neckline with both hands, and violently pulling him up from the seat!

"Only this, only the memories that grandpa left me, you can't take away—"

His hands were tightly clutched at the tie of the opponent's tie, trembling.

His voice was also trembling, and he couldn't tell if it was because he remembered the grief of the old man when he passed away, or because he was stopped by the Shen family at the door of the ward, struggling on the cold floor, trying to go in and see the old man for the last time. Deep in despair and anger, a group of tears burst out of their eyes suddenly uncontrollably, and fell hastily.
