The author has something to say: I will update it!

There is plenty of warm air in the car.

Ye Xi wore Zhou Yichao's coat on his back, Zhou Yichao's scarf around his neck, and held the warm tea that Zhou Yichao handed over to him, and Zhou Yichao's special car sat underneath.

Zhou Yichao himself, who constantly appeared in commercials, programs, and endorsements in the streets and alleys, is now sitting beside him.

No camera, no cameraman, no director.

There were only two people breathing in the car.

The door in front of him easily blocked the raging wind and snow outside, and even blocked the cruel reality that constantly stimulated the nerves. The story that can only be written in fairy tales happened to me at this very moment.

No matter how you think about it, it is too illusory scene.

As his body warmed up a little bit, his reason gradually awakened like a spring bud. Ye Xi held the cup of hot tea that he hadn't drunk since he got in the car. Can barely stop.

"...to trouble you."

Reunion after 6 years.

After deliberating for a long time, he still said the worst opening sentence.

Ye Xi lowered his head, touched the phone in his coat pocket that had been vibrating non-stop with his left hand, and returned the hot tea to the person beside him with his right hand.

A total of 36 missed calls, all from different numbers.

None of them are familiar to me.

Just leave as soon as possible.

Ye Xi frowned subconsciously, put the phone back into his trousers pocket, and removed the scarf around his neck with his left hand.

One hand was inconvenient to move, and the cup of tea in the right hand had not been taken for a long time, so Ye Xi had to put half of the long scarf on his knees, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yi who had been silent since getting in the car Tide, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"I thought you'd keep avoiding me."

After successfully getting the other party's line of sight, Zhou Yichao took off his hat and mask neatly, casually brushed his bangs in front of his eyes, and raised his hand to easily take the teacup in Ye Xi's hand.

"Waiting for you for a long time, it's so boring."

With his hands free, Ye Xi easily took off the scarf and laid it on his knees, stacking it neatly little by little, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved into a tiny arc.

Still very persistent in such a strange place.

Ye Xi took off the overcoat on his body, folded it in the same way, and put it together with the scarf between himself and Zhou Yichao.

How are you?

Did you have a good meal?

Is sleep still sound?

Six years is really too long, the other party has already become an existence above the cloud when he was struggling desperately from the quagmire.

These trivial questions are as inappropriate as the cold cup of coffee, so Ye Xi swallowed them one by one, and bid farewell to Zhou Yichao.

"I still have something to do, I have to go first, thank you today."

Ye Xi nodded politely to Zhou Yichao, stood up while supporting the seat with his left hand, stepped on the open space in front of Zhou Yichao's shoes, and gestured to pull the car door with his right hand.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't eat in the morning and noon, Ye Xi's eyes were suddenly covered by a black fine net, his right fingertips slipped from the car door, and his body fell obliquely uncontrollably.

If you hit your head, it will probably hurt.

Ye Xi blinked his eyes extremely slowly, and completely gave up struggling in the vision blurred into a shadow.

The shoulder blades were held, and the warm body greeted him, but the pain he imagined did not come.

After the sound of the plastic package being torn, a hard candy was stuffed between the teeth, and the taste of grapefruit gradually spread in the mouth.

Ye Xi was so soured that his facial features were wrinkled together. After a short period of blindness, he returned to his original position.

"Sorry, that's all I have in my pocket."

Zhou Yichao raised another grapefruit-flavored hard candy to Ye Xi, unpacked it and threw it into his mouth, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the dimple on one side slowly sank.

How can someone eat such candy and still laugh?

Ye Xi pursed his lips, frowned and looked at Zhou Yichao, who was smiling more and more for some reason, unconsciously rolled the tip of his tongue half a circle on the spherical hard candy, and immediately his facial features wrinkled together again.

"hiss--"

Zhou Yichao bowed and cupped his lower abdomen, his eyes narrowed in laughter, his slender eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings.

Compared to the smile just now, Zhou Yichao simply laughed out loud this time.

——Exactly the same as when he teased himself 6 years ago.

Ye Xi stretched out his hand and slapped Zhou Yichao's shoulder. The sugar in his mouth was neither swallowed nor swallowed, but he couldn't eat this taste, so he was so sour all the time.

"Sorry sorry."

While the other party pretended to beg for forgiveness, he smiled to the side.

Obviously no remorse.

Ye Xi pinched the inside of Zhou Yichao's forearm angrily, but at this moment the door on the driver's side was pulled open.

Ye Xi hastily picked up the folded scarf to cover his face, the visitor sat down in the driver's seat, closed the car door while looking at the rearview mirror, and finally threw a question without any ups and downs in tone——

"Am I not supposed to come in?"

Ye Xi lowered his eyes, just in time to see that his hand, which seemed to be holding Zhou Yichao's arm, suddenly lifted up like an electric shock, and pressed the scarf tighter on his face.

"This is my agent."

Zhou Yichao took the paper bag handed over by the manager in the front row, and watched Ye Xi at the side amusedly trying to wrap himself into a zongzi.

"Are you trying to suffocate yourself?"

Zhou Yichao raised his hand to remove the scarf covering Ye Xi's face, and stuffed the paper bag into his arms.

"See if something is missing?"

Ye Xi lowered his head, and found the coat he wore when he came here, the key to the rented house, the bottle of vitamins, and today's hourly wages in the paper bag.

"…No."

Zhou Yichao turned to the manager in the driver's seat, smiled and asked——

"What did that scum say?"

"It is said that there will be no more unnecessary entanglement."

Ye Xi silently put on his coat, and bowed halfway to Zhou Yichao's manager.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today."

After Ye Xi finished speaking, he hugged the paper bag and pressed against the car door on his side. Zhou Yichao grabbed Ye Xi's hand quickly, and frowned unconsciously.

"where do you want to go?"

"go back."

Ye Xi lowered his head, bent his index finger back to his palm, and the paper bag in his arms creaked and creaked.

"why?"

"Because the hourly wages are high there."

The tightly held hands were released, and Ye Xi pressed down on the door handle again, only to hear Zhou Yichao's deep and cold voice behind him——

"That scumbag, has he threatened you with your identity?"

The blood around him seemed to congeal at that moment, his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by both hands, Ye Xi's fingers trembled uncontrollably, thus he missed the last chance to break into the wind and snow.

The creaking sound of the paper bag intensified, the jaws clenched unconsciously, Ye Xi clenched his fists, his nails dug into his flesh, trying to restrain his body's desire to tremble.

"……Let me go."

After being silent for a while, Ye Xi heard his own voice trembling first instead of his body.

The sound of chewing the hard candy beside him was heard clearly.

Ye Xi curled up to the side of the car door, the paper bag was thrown under his feet, and the pain in his palm hidden under the bag suddenly shifted to his knuckles.

The cup of hot tea that I declined before returned to my palm, the red nail marks were covered by chocolate wafer biscuits, the latest black mobile phone was placed on top of my knees, and the words "boiling" and "explosive" on the hot search list clearly come into view.

Ye Xi's eyes widened, and a white fingertip protruding from one side poked out an image on the screen.In the 2-minute clip, the host's question only takes up two seconds, and the more part is actually the protagonist's abnormal silence.

One of the most easy-to-answer questions ever asked by a popular idol.

There are only three standard answers available——

Family, fans and lovers.

A problem that can be easily solved within three seconds, the completely still silent film occupies the progress bar for one minute and 43 seconds.

15 seconds countdown——

Zhou Yichao finally raised his head with the microphone in his hand during the long silence.

Counting down tens of seconds——

"I miss you."

The black pupils locked the lens firmly, and what flickered in the depths was the enthusiasm and determination like a sinking boat.

Countdown to five seconds——

Everything that matters in the world comes last.As if to prove the existence of this unverifiable theorem, until the end of the video, the protagonist arrives belatedly and makes his grand debut——

"Ye Xi."

The moment my name is called——

Breathe, pause.
