superficial dialogue

After lunch at noon on the second day, Xie Baijing took the initiative to go to the hotel lobby to wait.The driver drove Ke Jiang and him all the way to S City.

On the expressway on the second day of the new year, compared with the previous few days, the traffic flow was much sparser.The two had just had a semi-embarrassing conversation in the car last night, and there was always some awkwardness remaining when they met today.In the car, one was lying on the side seat with the seat flat, wearing a blindfold to catch up on sleep, and the other was sitting in the back seat on the other side, silently fiddled with the phone.If the drivers were not accustomed to driving with soft music, the car they were in would have become the most silent car on the road.I arrived in S city in the afternoon, and the banquet was arranged in the evening, so I first rested in a suite reserved by Ke Jiang all the year round.

Ke Jiang woke up and said he was hungry, and the hotel immediately served authentic English afternoon tea, which he liked to eat here before.

Ke Jiang instructed Xie Baijing: "You eat half of it."

Xie Baijing shook his head.

Ke Jiang is like a parent facing a child, half preaching and half complaining: "You will be hungry at night. Eat."

Xie Baijing took a deep breath, sat opposite him, and picked up a small finger sandwich.He doesn't like Western-style desserts, and he has almost never cast his eyes on those beautiful and sweet little cakes and snacks, and he seems to be quite used to black tea.And Ke Jiang happened to like sweets the most. Although for the sake of his health, a nutritionist strictly controlled the intake of sugar in his diet when he was a child, but after he went to his mother abroad, he didn't have so many scruples and ate it whenever he wanted.Ke Jiang glanced at him, rang the bell, and simply ordered some more Chinese dim sum to be delivered.

Xie Baijing was a little surprised, pursed his lips, and didn't say much.The hotel quickly sent several baskets of various Cantonese dim sum and wonton noodle soup, which were more to his taste, but when he noticed that Ke Jiang only moved his chopsticks a few times, he stopped quickly.

In case it happens in the future, Ke Jiang sat in a daze, muttering in his heart, the aunt he invited had to take care of both Chinese and Western food, otherwise he would not be able to eat a piece.

In the evening, Director Lu's birthday party was not large.Ke Jiang just wanted to find an excuse to get Xie Baijing to meet him, so taking Xie to attract resources was the next best thing.He has used hard and soft methods against Xie Baijing, but the progress bar is still zero, and the future is long and hopeless.After thinking hard for this period of time, he had to attribute it to Xie Baijing's brain problem - but there was no way, who made him care about this one.He can only use a gentle offensive, cooperating with rewards to lure, and finally try again.

Everything is no more than three, if it is still cold this time, he will let it go completely, whatever he loves, there is no shortage of this one.

This was also the first time that Xie Baijing met these so-called upper-class celebrities on a formal occasion.He has never experienced it before. Fortunately, he has this kind of skin and the indifferent temperament that allows you to ride the waves and let me sail across thousands of mountains in a small boat. Many so-called second generations seem to be more restrained and stable, and they are still very handy.Although he is not good at flattery, but people rely on clothes, and Ke Jiang sits beside him, so others dare not underestimate him.The one who benefited most from this was Ke Jiang, who took Xie Baijing to wander around the venue, laughed and laughed when he saw acquaintances, and introduced the handsome and steady young man beside him, anyway, he looked more attractive than Zhang Yuntian, who was hugging an Internet celebrity. Much face.

Director Lu, the protagonist of the birthday party, was really busy, but he still came to chat with Ke Jiang for a while.It was mainly Ke Jiang who was talking, smiling and wishing people a happy birthday and fortune, watching Changhong Yunyun.Seeing him and the young man behind him, he also understood, and promised to let Xie Baijing try the new year's drama.

Such words are enough, Ke Jiang hinted with his eyes, and Xie Baijing spontaneously came up to toast, with a humble and not obsequious appearance.

After Director Lu left, Ke Jiang whispered to him, "You're quite obedient."

Xie Baijing glanced at him.Ke Jiang only drank a little wine, and his eyes looked very clear under the resplendent crystal lamp.He has a handsome appearance, and he wears a high-end suit that is extremely expensive. Years of experience have made him familiar with such occasions, and all communication behaviors seem to be easy to handle. At first glance, he seems to be an elegant and calm nobleman.It's just that he was whispering to Xie Baijing at this time, he smelled of men's perfume faintly, his tone deliberately had a bit of cheapness, and his demeanor revealed his childish nature, which really contrasted with his appearance.

Ke Jiang wondered why this person didn't stab me anymore, and then teased tentatively: "It's good to be so good from now on."

Xie Baijing came back to his senses with a calm expression: "Mr. Ke, pay attention to your words and deeds."

"Pull it down," Ke Jiang whispered, "Are you panicking here? I think you're about to suffocate."

Xie Baijing pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ke Jiang slapped him on the shoulder: "It's time to run away."

Before anyone could react, he turned around smartly and walked towards the gate of the banquet hall.Xie Baijing followed behind him step by step, and saw that this person walked two steps and stopped one step, as if he was just strolling casually, when he met someone, he would nod to those he was not familiar with, and smile to those he was familiar with, calmly and leisurely all the way Haw, no one thought there was any difference, so he just walked out of the gate openly.The waiter came up to put coats on the two of them, and sent them to the car waiting for them gently and politely.

The driver sent them to the hotel suite where they rested in the afternoon.The living room of the suite has a complete floor-to-ceiling window, which is located on the upper floors of the city center of S, overlooking the thousands of lights of the entire city.A night of socializing is more brain-consuming than writing a thesis. In addition, the past few days have not been smooth, Xie Baijing is a little tired, sitting on the sofa in the center, not playing with his mobile phone, as if he is relaxing.But Ke Jiang has long been used to it, sitting on a high stool next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, drinking champagne and admiring the night view.The hotel prepared dinner for them, but neither of them moved.Ke Jiang said unintentionally: "Let's rest at the hotel tonight, and I will open a suite for you."

Xie Baijing: "No need, I'll go back tonight."

"I won't do anything to you," Ke Jiang said with a smile in his voice, "I've already known my mistake and corrected it, don't you believe me?"

Xie Baijing frowned slightly, and looked at him sideways.There were only the two of them in the huge suite, and it was as quiet as if time had stopped for a few seconds.

Ke Jiang looked at him and put down his glass involuntarily."You look tired," he said softly.

Xie Baijing: "Chinese New Year is always very tiring."

"Yeah," Ke Jiang looked out the window, lazily, "There are countless entertainments... like tonight, I really don't like it, it's boring, I'm nervous, but I can't help it, if I don't go, I have to go Right. Although I am a rich second generation, I am not a rich second generation who can do whatever I want. To get to that point, my father has to work harder. Who can do whatever he wants in life."

Xie Baijing was a little taken aback.

Ke Jiang turned to smile: "Don't be so serious. Xiao Xie, I see that you are too tired, and I want to share my insights on life. When it comes to suffering, I am sure I am not suffering as much as you, but how can suffering be put together? What about Erbi. I don't understand why you always resist me. I just love you and want you to stop being so miserable and tired. Am I wrong? "

"Some kindness may not be needed by others. But you can't understand me, just like I can't understand you." Xie Baijing said calmly.

Ke Jiang: "It's like I like you, right. You can't understand me, and I can't understand you. You say, why don't you accept it? Am I really that ugly? You have to find a fairy or how."

Xie Baijing: "Because I'm not gay, and I don't like you either."

Ke Jiang laughed at himself: "Sometimes you are too straightforward."

Xie Baijing seemed to be thinking about his words, he was silent for two seconds, and in a rare non-hostile tone, he said calmly: "President Ke, maybe we should have an effective communication..."

"Stop." Ke Jiang gestured, "It's time, come and have a look."

Xie Baijing stopped.

From his line of sight, he could see that above the bright lights of the city, in the dark sky, after a few seconds of silence, several dazzling light spots rose once, twice, and three times.After the soundless roar, each of them bloomed with astonishing and brilliant colors, as if the light wrapped in fire suddenly scattered all over the sky and fell at an extremely fast speed.When there was still a faint smog in the sky, several more fireworks rushed to the sky, blooming vigorously, fiery trees and silver flowers.No matter how charming and extravagant the bustling night scene of S City is, at this time, he still has to give up three points.The entire huge hotel suite was in silence, and extremely romantic piano music sounded from all directions, ranging from light to heavy.If this is the proposal scene of a pair of lovers, it is enough for them to be recorded in the memoirs of their lives.

The corners of Ke Jiang's lips curled up slightly, when he noticed that the young man was briefly absent-minded.

The first thing that Xie Baijing thought of in his mind was that burning in urban areas was banned.

He quickly felt that he was too funny, as Ke Jiang, how could he care about this.

Ke Jiang asked softly: "I was let go, do you like it?"

Xie Baijing still didn't speak.His second thought was——

What kind of trick to chase a little girl is this?

Do you want to add flamboyant roses, a purse or two, and a car key?If Ke Jiang thinks that he is someone who would commit himself to others for a few fireworks, it would be too funny and ridiculous.

At this time, he was not angry, but felt helpless.Whenever his perception of Ke Jiang got a little better, Ke Jiang would prove in various ways that it was unnecessary.He once evaded Ke Jiang's intimacy when he crossed the line, indifferently rejected Ke Jiang's gentle overtures, beat up Ke Jiang's forceful kiss, said "I'm not gay" three times, and tried to communicate normally.But until now, Ke Jiang still regards him as a doll for obscenity, with only a small amount of sweetness, he can be held in the palm of his hand, and Xie Baijing's voice will never enter his ears.

What disappointed him most was not Ke Jiang's frivolity, but his own powerlessness.Crossing the gap of class status, burdened by burdens, and unachievable ambitions, he should have torn apart this absurd situation without fear, but he was bound by all kinds of restraints, tied his hands, feet, and tongue.

"After the holiday, I have to add acting classes, and I'm going to join Director Lu's crew, but it's okay if I don't act well." Ke Jiang didn't notice it, watching the fireworks outside the window, and there were still dimples on his cheeks. "I just received the news that a friend has invested in a private hospital in your house, and can pick up your grandmother to recuperate."

Xie Baijing stood up and said suddenly: "I'm going home." I'm afraid that if he stays any longer, the two of them will inevitably fight.

"Now?" Ke Jiang looked back at him. This young man who was just 20 years old, still wearing a suit, stood upright and looked at him.

Ke Jiang originally left a lot of programs.Fireworks are just the beginning of the atmosphere. He originally planned to have a quiet chat with Xie Baijing—not a dispute like "I am gay" or "I am not gay", but seriously, wanting to tell Xie Baijing that he still I really like him.It's not an unspoken rule of nurturing, and it shouldn't have anything to do with arrogance and self-esteem. It's just a try, it's okay.

But he keenly noticed that Xie Baijing's lips were tightly pressed, and there was no wave in his eyes, as if he was suppressing something.

Ke Jiang was at a loss, but his intuition told him that he should postpone the rest of the arrangements.He said, "I'll call the driver now to take you back."

Xie Baijing nodded silently.He went to the room to change into casual clothes, put the suit back into the suitcase as it was, and put it on a corner of the wall.He didn't even say goodbye to Ke Jiang, and went straight out of the room.After getting off the elevator and leaving the hotel lobby, the driver was already waiting for him by the car, opened the door for him, and sent him to the car.After Xie Baijing sat down firmly, the driver turned around and handed him a document bag: "Mr. Xie, this is what Mr. Ke told me to give you earlier."

Xie Baijing took it, which contained a draft contract for brand promotion.The resources that people in the circle are jealous of are just a few thin sheets of paper in his hands at this moment.There was a post-it note on it, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the flamboyant writing on it:

"Xiao Xie, happy new year! I wish you a happy day."

so funny.Xie Baijing thought that the first New Year gift he received in his life came from Ke Jiang.
