superficial dialogue

Xie Baijing is still waiting.

He is using his last rationality to determine that it is impossible for Ke Jiang not to come back.No matter how cool and unrestrained that person is, he doesn't want to turn his head back, and when he leaves without taking away any dust, the old man of the Ke family is still in S city.From what Ke Jiang once said, Xie Baijing could almost hear the story of how the old man indulged and spoiled his little grandson, even though he had some criticisms in his heart when listening to him before——If Ke Lao really prefers, why? Will it keep Ke Jiang, not Ke Cheng, away from the power center of the Ke family?If it is really pampering, how could Ke Jiang have to behave to his elders to confirm the scope of action since he was a child, and he dared not do anything really out of line, and his eldest brother even got involved in the foolish things in his youth. news?

But these little doubts, he never raised his mouth.Xie Baijing knew the biggest difference between himself and Ke Jiang, if he really made it clear, the two would inevitably have a quarrel.He has always only believed in what he can hold in his hands. Nothing is more real than real money and power. This is derived from the utilitarianism and reality in his blood; Seeing some of his thoughts, Xie Baijing even suspected that one day he would take a pillow and wander around.It is also because of this that Ke Jiang's concern for his grandfather is always just his concern for his grandfather. As long as Mr. Ke is still in S City for a day, Ke Jiang will come back one day.

This is Xie Baijing's gamble with Ke Jiang's heart.

As for why Ke Jiang didn't come back now, and what Ke Jiang should do when he came back, Xie Baijing didn't want to think about it for the time being, his usual rationality and sobriety persuaded himself to escape for the first time.

Time passed day by day, this year's cold air once again swept across city S, and his birthday also followed.All work is being carried out step by step, and the popularity is rising.If we were to talk about the keywords of this year, "Xie Baijing" would definitely be on the list. An ordinary young man was born out of thin air and was accepted by the public smoothly. One in a million is lucky. How many people secretly gritted their teeth because of jealousy.Looking at the age of faces, it seems that he is at home in it.The company held a birthday party for him. He stood on the stage and looked down. The bright fluorescent colors of the same color were constantly flickering, and a large crowd of people crowded in the dark. The stage was hot and noisy, and the lights were blazing in all directions. roasting him.He played some boring games, sang and danced, connected with fans outside the venue, read the long thank you letter written for him by the company, and performed every step of the way.

Thank you for your faith until the end, Xie Baijing suddenly said: "Will there be cakes and flowers this year?"

The host was only stunned for half a second, and reacted very quickly: "Of course there is a cake! Come on, Bai Jing, let's share today's birthday cake with fans and friends..."

Backstage staff hurriedly pushed up the cake that was supposed to appear in the last session.A very tall and beautiful cake, cut by Xie Baijing blowing out candles and holding a knife and fork.

Only Xie Baijing himself knew that his rash words were meant for someone.Although he said countless specious things to the camera, deliberately hinted on Weibo, and was warned by the company countless times.Just standing on the stage, he still couldn't help but think of this day last year when he threw the cake and flowers that Ke Jiang gave him into the trash can without hesitation, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered it.That nagging and stubborn young master was only a matter of last year, but it seemed like a long time had passed.

It is not that there is no news about Ke Jiang.Xie Baijing began to slowly learn how to deal with people, he began to have wine and meat friends, and he began to meet seniors who wanted to support him a little bit.But for everyone, his attitude seems to be not bad, gentle, polite, steady and reliable, he doesn't say any sweet words, and at the same time, he doesn't seem to tell others your secrets. This character, coupled with his overwhelming momentum and behind him There is no lack of people in the circle who are willing to talk to him.Slowly, as long as he wants to inquire, he can always inquire a little.For example, Ke Jiang went back to his mother before, for example, Ke Jiang’s property abroad was saved, for example, he went on vacation with Zhang Yuntian a few days ago...

Zhang Yuntian didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Baijing.Xie Baijing went through many people before he got a recent photo of Ke Jiang, which was posted by Zhang Yuntian in his circle of friends.Most of the picture is Zhang Yuntian himself, only in one corner of the photo, there is a man with bare upper body, natural fair skin, wearing fancy beach shorts, sitting on the beach chair of the holiday villa.He was wearing sunglasses, and the corners of his lips were curled up without smiling, looking leisurely and happy.

Xie Baijing's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

What made him very uncomfortable was that there were one or two beauties in bikinis standing beside Ke Jiang.

Of course, who is Ke Jiang, how could he give up the opportunity to be happy and romantic.Xie Baijing unconsciously pressed his tongue against the most sore place on the side of his mouth. He still restrained him before, pretending to go out without touching men and women.As soon as he goes out now, as long as Ke Jiang still has money, what kind of "little star raised with a wallet" can't be found?

But Xie Baijing still held back his anger.He decided that after he coaxed the man who left his stall and ran away to come back, he had to use this trick to make people obedient.

Even though he had already vaguely realized that they might have ended long ago, everyone in the world recognized that, even Ke Jiang couldn't go back, only he was still addicted to that expired relationship and couldn't extricate himself.When he returned to a strange hotel alone in the middle of the night after work every day, he still had to control his eyes from tracing the man's body in the photo, and looked at the half of the man's exposed face over and over again, wondering if there was something wrong with that body. There are traces.Seeing later, he couldn't help but dial a number that no one answered.

One day the assistant found that he didn't answer the phone no matter what, and he didn't answer when he knocked on the door.The assistant made an exception for the first time and forcibly opened the door.There is still a pungent smell of smoke in the room, and the pile of cigarette butts on the coffee table is about to overflow—I don’t know when, maybe for the convenience of socializing, Xie Baijing started smoking—and that glamorous big star outside is like this He curled up on the sofa, fell asleep in a very awkward posture, and looked very embarrassed.I had a low-grade fever, no wonder I couldn't wake up.

The assistant hurriedly asked the intern to ask the doctor to prepare towels, hot water, etc., turned around and bent down to put the mobile phone on the side of Xie Baijing's arm away, only to find that the mobile phone had turned off automatically. I don't know if it was because the owner used it too much , even the electricity is exhausted.

"It's so strange," the little assistant muttered, "I don't usually see brother Xie likes to play with his mobile phone, or is the mobile phone broken?"

New Year.

It was the time when everyone was wearing down jackets to wrap themselves tightly, but Ke Jiang only wore a black coat and a thin plaid cashmere scarf for decoration.The mother next to him didn't give in too much. She was nearly fifty years old, dressed thinner than the little girl, and stepped on high heels with bare legs. Even though she really felt cold, she still walked in a leisurely manner, without showing the slightest embarrassment. She sat in the car gracefully and calmly, and someone closed the door for her.

"It's still time to catch up with friends and get in touch with each other." Mother Jiang said, "I know you are in a bad mood, so you can't stay in the old house all the time. Go out and have fun."

Ke Jiang said helplessly: "Mom, I'm not a child, when is it, are you still going out to play?"

Mother Jiang smiled compromisingly.Her son was born handsome and perfectly inherited his facial features, which is the work she is most proud of in her life.It's just a pity that this child's heart is still too weak.Ever since I got that little injury a few months ago, I seem to have completely changed my temperament, even ordinary friends don't know it, except for Zhang Yuntian, who still has contacts, everyone else has abandoned him like a shoestring.If it wasn't for Ke Lao being seriously ill this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even go back to S City.

She lowered her head and checked her nails, feeling a little dissatisfied.Looking up again, he found that his son was staring out the window in a daze.

On the large billboard outside the window, a young man turned his face halfway.The light and shadow beautifully portrayed his straight nose and sharp jawline, his brows and eyes drooped slightly, as if he was meditating on something, and people couldn't help but peek at the half of his exposed dark pupils.The huge picture shows his astonishing sternness and handsomeness to the maximum extent, which is indeed somewhat eye-catching.

"I don't like him." Mother Jiang said very bluntly, her tone was calm and indifferent, "He doesn't deserve to stand here."

Ke Jiang withdrew his gaze, with a calm expression, nothing unusual: "Who cares."

Mr. Ke couldn't bear the cold winter of this year, and his condition suddenly worsened, so that he was a little unconscious, and he was especially afraid of loneliness. He urged his children and grandchildren repeatedly, almost pleadingly, to return.Naturally, Ke Jiang would not refuse. After returning, he could hardly leave the ward—the tough old man finally showed his fear of death, which was exactly the same as the child's fear of pain.As if holding onto a life-saving straw, he always needs the most considerate, gentle, and sincere little grandson by his side, wants Ke Jiang to have fun and chat with him, wants Ke Jiang to wipe his body and change his medicine, and even No one else is allowed to come close.Only after he took the medicine and fell asleep, did Ke Jiang have a chance to go out to catch his breath.

In fact, Ke Jiang is also willing to take care of his grandfather.He had so many things he wanted to say to his grandfather, but every time he stopped talking halfway through.On the first day he just came back, he choked up and apologized, but the old man on the hospital bed was weak and thin, and forgave him calmly and peacefully, telling him not to say any more.This kind of performance seems to tell Ke Jiang how ridiculous he was before, and ignored the last time with the elderly for his own little love.

In his eyes, this is an atonement that is far from being redeemed.But in the eyes of others, it is not the same.Before that, Ke Jiang came out of the closet and was expelled from the house. Ke Cheng let go of his harsh words in public, saying that he had never vividly remembered such a younger brother.But in a blink of an eye, Ke Jiang, who left in despair, came back again, and Mr. Ke valued him more than before.Ke Cheng was not allowed to serve the old man in front of the hospital bed when he was awake, but Ke Jiang was allowed. Didn't this clearly slap his elder brother in the face?

Not long after she was confinement, Mrs. Ke was dragged by her husband to enter the ward for the reason of letting the old man meet his great-grandson.The baby who was still in its infancy was carefully held by a nanny, half squatted and half kneeled by the side of the bed, and sent to the old man, his mouth was still full of flattering and auspicious words.But Ke Lao looked at it for a while, and the first sentence he said was: "It's really like Jiang'er when he was a child!"

Ke Cheng's expression turned ugly immediately.

He tried his best to frustrate all his younger brother's vigor, but he forgot that the elders behind him were all biased.And the old man even asked that, taking advantage of New Year's Day as a holiday, a big New Year's banquet should be held.The words are really moving, I am happy for my illness, and I don’t know if I can survive the Lunar New Year; in fact, everyone understands that it is the old man who wants to take advantage of the days when he can still speak, and announce to the world that his little grandson will be justified again welcome home.

Ke Jiang didn't care.When he was standing in the middle of the hotel lobby, he was still well dressed, a hand-made suit that fit perfectly, outlining his figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist.Compared with his brother's mediocre appearance, his facial features that resemble his biological mother make him look very charming, with fair skin, black eyes, and a natural smile, which is easy to be liked by people.Compared to last year when he never refused to come, today he seems to be more dignified, with indifferent indifference in his eyes.Although surrounded by crowds, he can still hold a wine glass, laughing and cursing with others, appearing calm and playful, but careful eyes can always find that he is a little different from before.

Too many people came and went to flatter him, toast and care for him.But Ke Jiang was not timid at all, and his face remained unchanged after drinking glasses of wine.Everyone was staring at him secretly, but one of them was too hot and intense, and it was unknown which family it was from, still so ignorant of etiquette.It was not until the second half that Ke Jiang left the crowd for the first time and went to the bathroom alone.

A young man followed him closely, standing motionless in front of the bathroom door like a stiff knight.

And Ke Jiang seemed to be unaware, washing his hands calmly, waiting patiently for drying, and turning around in an orderly manner, as if he finally found the person, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

The young man in front of him was undoubtedly handsome and beautiful, but the red blood in his eyes could not be reduced, and he was thin, making him look particularly haggard.When he met Ke Jiang's eyes, he was shocked, and subconsciously half opened his lips, but the next second Ke Jiang's words made him feel as if he was being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water——

"Good evening," Ke Jiang said politely, but as if speaking to a stranger, "You are blocking my way."
