In the city [entertainment circle]

53

Although I had thought about going home for a long time, the real trip was already approaching summer.

The temperature gradually became hot and dry, and the ten-year contract between Shen Xiao and Xinghai also officially ended.On the day when it was officially over, Shen Xiao dressed a little more formally and went to Xinghai's building.

In fact, in the past ten years, he didn't spend much time in the company. At first, he was not taken seriously. Later, Zhang Lin was responsible for his affairs, and there was no need to come to the company.

In fact, it stands to reason that no special procedures are required when the contract expires, but he is used to it, so Shen Xiao came here, and without accident, he saw Wang Zezhi and Zhang Lin.

The two were in the reception room, Wang Zezhi had a polite smile on his face, and Zhang Lin was the same as before.

When Shen Xiao walked in, Wang Zezhi said hello, "Shen Xiao is here."

Shen Xiao also smiled, Wang Zezhi said some more polite words, and finally asked him about his plan, "Plan to set up your own studio in the future?"

"I haven't thought about it." Shen Xiao said, "Maybe I will take a break."

Wang Zezhi didn't continue to ask, after the two said some polite words, the ten-year contract with Xinghai officially expired.

"I wish you all the best in the future." Wang Zezhi finally said this to Shen Xiao, no matter what his thoughts were at the time, since leaving has become an established fact, there is no need to worry about it.

Shen Xiao nodded, and then Zhang Lin said, "I'll see you off."

After the two left the reception room, Zhang Lin thought for a while and said, "Going to smoke a cigarette?"

"Quit." Shen Xiao said.

Zhang Lin opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Shen Xiao looked at it for a while, then sighed, "I really quit smoking, it's not an excuse." He looked at the scenery outside the window, Xinghai's building is in the best location in the city, standing by the corridor right now, he can easily overlook the whole city He looked at the scenery for a while and said to Zhang Lin, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Zhang Lin said, "It's just that I didn't expect that ten years would pass like this."

"Time is very fast." Shen Xiao said, ten years, whether it is long or short, when I first signed the contract, I felt that the time was too long to see the end, but now I feel that it is only a blink of an eye.

Perhaps, as others have said, the time after the age of 30 always flies by.

Zhang Lin didn't say anything at the end, but just asked again about his future plans.

"I really have no plans." Shen Xiao said, leaning on the corridor, "I don't have any ambitions, I'm just an actor." After he finished speaking, he patted Zhang Lin's shoulder, "I'm leaving, I still have things to do."

"where to?"

"go home."

When Shen Xiao came home, he saw Li Ruosen dressed in sportswear - and Wu Tao.

The other party stood behind Li Ruosen expressionlessly, like a patron saint.

Shen Xiao nodded to Wu Tao, then squatted down, and asked Li Ruosen, "Shall we leave tomorrow?"

Naturally, Li Ruosen has no reason to disagree. He has never been to Shen Xiao's hometown. This time, the eldest brother asked Wu Tao to follow him, hoping to take care of him.

He glanced back at Wu Tao, Wu Tao nodded immediately, "Listen to the young master."

"I haven't been back for many years." Shen Xiao said to Wu Tao.

"The transportation is much more convenient now." Wu Tao said, his attitude towards Shen Xiao has always been the same, neither good nor bad, and he doesn't like it in his heart, but he won't show it obviously.

This time Li Zhengying asked him to follow these two, that's what she meant, after all, Shen Xiao hadn't gone back to that place for many years, and Li Ruosen's body was also inconvenient.

"I'll drive this time." Wu Tao said to Shen Xiao.

Considering Li Ruosen's physical condition, Shen Xiao did not object, "Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?" Shen Xiao said.

Wu Tao glanced at Li Ruosen who was sitting on the sofa, and Shen Xiao who was squatting on the ground. It was exactly 6 o'clock in the evening. Before they went out, Li Zhengying didn't ask Wu Tao to bring Li Ruosen back.

It seems that Li Ruosen has tacitly allowed Li Ruosen to stay overnight...

Wu Tao was a little tangled in his heart. He repeatedly recalled what Li Zhengying said to him when he took Li Ruosen away in the afternoon——

"Take good care of Ruo Sen."

He also didn't say whether he should go back tonight.

"Help me go back and look at my luggage." When Wu Tao was struggling, Li Ruosen spoke.

Wu Tao looked at Li Ruosen, then at Shen Xiao, and felt that Shen Xiao probably wouldn't do anything, so he nodded, "I'll come tomorrow afternoon with my luggage." After speaking, he left Shen Xiao's home.

Shen Xiao is not a fool either, of course he can see what Wu Tao is hesitating, it is true that he wants to get close to Li Ruosen from the bottom of his heart, but he will also consider the other party's mood.

"Is Teacher Shen's luggage ready?" Li Ruosen didn't know what Shen Xiao was thinking, and seemed to be still excited about this rare trip.

Shen Xiao motioned Li Ruosen to look at the luggage bag he had placed in the corner. The style was a bit old, and it looked like it had been used for many years.

"I didn't expect this luggage bag to still be there." Shen Xiao said to Li Ruosen with some emotion, when he left, he was not carrying this luggage bag, it was a worse bag, so he thought, he has money After that, be sure to replace it with a better one.So this luggage bag was purchased when he received the first sum of money.

After so many years, it is still there, and it is not broken.

Shen Xiao walked over and brought the luggage over, and then opened it for Li Ruosen to see.Because I'm not sure how long I'm going to go, I put a few sets of clothes in it, as well as some necessary daily necessities.

Since he often goes out for filming, Shen Xiao still has a lot of experience in packing luggage, "Actually, I didn't have so many things in my luggage before." Sitting on the carpet, he raised his head and said to Li Ruosen, "Do you want to sit down? "

Li Ruosen nodded.

Shen Xiao stretched out his hand, hugged Li Ruosen on the ground, and let him lean into his arms, "In the past, there was only a winter padded jacket and a few down jackets in this bag. I didn't think so much when I left. I just feel that I can't stay there for the rest of my life, and then I will really be useless."

While talking, he gently stroked Li Ruosen's back, as if to comfort him.

Recalling the past is not a difficult thing for Shen Xiao now.It's just that some details are unclear. He picked up some interesting things in his memory and told Li Ruosen.

Then he heard Li Ruosen's breathing becoming more and more gentle, and he looked down.He was found to be asleep.

This should be the first time Shen Xiao saw Li Ruosen when he was asleep.He was already pretty and harmless, but now with bangs drooping on his forehead and his eyes closed, he looked more like a beautiful doll.

He's not short either. Although I don't know his exact height, he should be 180. After all, both Li Zhengying and Li Ruoyu are quite tall.

But at this moment, he was curled up in Shen Xiao's arms, but he looked extremely small.Can't help but soften my heart.

"Falling asleep." Shen Xiao sighed softly, he looked at the distance between the bedroom and here, and finally did not move.Just cuddling him in his arms made him sleep more comfortably.

With the remote control by his side, Shen Xiao turned on the TV, and happened to turn to the movie channel, which was playing his first movie that year.

The young people in the movie made a big show, because they didn't want to disturb Li Ruosen, so Shen Xiao didn't make a sound.

At that time, he didn't appear in many scenes, and his mental state was actually a bit bad. The unbelievable incident that he met in the hotel that year didn't know whether it was true or not, or it still affected his state.

Watching the movie, even with lighting, the dark circles under his eyes could not be eliminated.Shen Xiao also sighed in his heart.If he hadn't left that place back then, if he hadn't chosen his current career, maybe he would never have met Li Ruosen.

At the end of the movie, the young man in the picture finally died. He was not reconciled, but he still had to pay the price for what he did wrong.

Perhaps growth is like this, each imperfect self dies, leaving only a more mature and smooth self.

Shen Xiao felt some inexplicable emotion in his heart, but found that Li Ruosen in his arms had already opened his eyes, staring at the TV for a while.

"Woke you up?" Shen Xiao asked softly.

Li Ruosen shook his head, he seemed to be in a dazed state of just waking up, he watched the gradually darkening picture on the TV, and the ending song as the subtitles sounded.

Suddenly looked up at Shen Xiao.

"Mr. Shen, did I tell you?" He put his arms around Shen Xiao's neck and kissed the corner of his lips, "It's really great to meet you."

Shen Xiao's body froze for a moment, then he put his arms around Li Ruosen's waist, then licked and kissed Li Ruosen's lips, "...I know, I know everything."
