superficial dialogue

City S, noon.

After Ke Jiang got off the plane, he couldn't think of where he should go for a while.

Xie Baijing's crew is not in S City, it is more than 100 kilometers away.He wanted to come here without telling Xie Baijing, pack his luggage, beat the jet lag, and then go to the crew to give a surprise.But now in the huge city of S, it is absolutely impossible for him to go back to the Ke residence where his father and brother are. When he left, he sold a lot of properties, and the remaining one or two houses have not been cleaned up.As for the one he used to like the most, the big flat that his mother gave him, only the house where he and Xie Baijing lived in...

Ke Jiang hesitated for a while, then called a car to take him to the hotel.He wanted to go back to that house with Xie Baijing.

Occasionally, he couldn't help but recall the scene that day: he came out of the police station, didn't wait for Xie Baijing, and went back to that big and empty apartment alone.He still retains a little illusion, but soon, that illusion will be ruthlessly broken.That was the darkest day in Ke Jiang's life. Even though it had been a long time, Xie Baijing tried his best to prove his change, but Ke Jiang still couldn't help but get chills down his spine when he thought about it, and he didn't want to experience it again.It seems that this psychological shadow has to be gradually eliminated in the future.

Ke Jiang put the luggage in the hotel room.He didn't bring anything, seeing that it was still early, he slept on the bed and rested.When I woke up, it was already night.Hungry, he ate the dinner delivered by the hotel, and suddenly discovered something: Xie Baijing hadn't contacted him until now.

He tentatively dialed a video call, but was cut off there.Xie Baijing returned an ordinary phone call: "Are you up yet?"

Ke Jiang opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes. Is today's filming finished, are you still busy?"

"It's not over yet, I'm resting." Xie Baijing sat in the nanny's car, his eyes fell on the constantly sweeping scenery outside the window.The assistant drivers in the car were all quiet, not daring to make a sound, listening to Xie Baijing speaking into the mobile phone in an unprecedented gentle tone, "You remember to eat breakfast, I will continue filming later, maybe I can't Let's talk."

"Okay," Ke Jiang expressed his understanding, "When...are you willing to come over?"

Xie Baijing was slightly taken aback, this was the first time Ke Jiang asked him the date of his visit, which made his heart beat a few beats faster.It's a pity that this kind of surprise was quickly overshadowed by regret, Xie Baijing said seriously: "The crew has no holidays during this period, I can't leave...wait for me a little longer, okay?"

Ke Jiang's tone was relaxed: "Okay, you can film with peace of mind, don't worry about other things."

Of course, don't worry about other things, because Ke Jiang is going to see him soon.

He didn't go there empty-handed. The most important piece of luggage was a small black flannel box with two beautiful plain rings inside.Presumably Xie Baijing will not dislike the generous and not exaggerated design.It is not convenient to carry it to work on weekdays, but it can also be hung around the neck.Although Ke Jiang felt that it was too ordinary due to the rush of time, it was not bad as a transitional ring.This is something Ke Jiang has been planning for a long time, and even though it was interrupted on the way, he can continue to deliver it now.Ke Jiang has slowly figured it out, he doesn't want to blackmail Xie Baijing for the rest of his life with what happened before, and he can't do such a thing.He and Xie Baijing are always equal.Now that some time has been missed, we must cherish it even more in the future.

In order to shorten the time on the road, Ke Jiang asked someone to book a high-speed rail ticket.He has calculated the time, and when it happens to be late at night over there, he can directly sneak into Xie Baijing's hotel room, knock on the door, and give a surprise.He could even imagine, the moment that indifferent and serious young man saw him, he would have a childish expression on his face, he didn't know if he would express his happiness bluntly, or he would be as sneaky as before hide it?He even packs some things in his pockets that he might need if necessary, such as condoms.

When Ke Jiang arrived at Xie Baijing's hotel, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.He didn't bring any luggage, only the left coat pocket bulged out a little, and the ring box seemed to be placed casually, but in fact his left hand was always hanging by his side, as a gesture of protection.He got off the taxi, just in case, he still wore a black mask on his face, only showing a pair of tired but shining eyes.He walked into the hotel lobby and went straight up the elevator.Before that, he had asked Xie Baijing's room number pretending to be unintentional during the conversation. Fortunately, the hotel's facilities were old and there was no card-swiping elevator, which allowed him to go there directly all the way.Xie Baijing lived in a suite. After confirming the room number, he took off the black mask at the door and stuffed it casually into the right pocket of his coat. He was about to raise his hand when he froze again.

He was actually like a kid who had never been in a relationship before, pacing back and forth nervously, even breathing a bit short of breath.After a while, he knocked cautiously on the door.

It was quiet and no one answered.

He knocked a few more times and still got silent feedback.

Ke Jiang frowned, and then slowly relaxed it.There was no one in the corridor, he pressed the doorbell with determination, and waited firmly behind the door.

Thank you.

There was obvious anger in Xie Baijing's voice: "What on earth did you ask me to come back for?!"

"Is there anything wrong with letting you go home?" Xie Mu's eyes widened, without any fear, "I'm not your mother? Isn't this your house?"

Since Xie Baijing started to make money, he sold that extremely dilapidated old house that had been exposed to the public, and rented a decent apartment in a more secure neighborhood for his mother to live alone.But people’s hearts can never be satisfied. Xie’s mother consciously jumped from the market class to the upper-class life, and the people around her have also changed levels. Her desires are deeper, and she is no longer satisfied with the previous monthly living expenses of 1000 to [-].But Xie Baijing is not a puppet that can be manipulated by her. Except for giving the money from the old house to Xie's mother, the monthly payment is not too much, which is enough for people to live on, but not enough for people to squander. Aggravated portion.

Xie Baijing said coldly, "You said something happened to grandma."

"It's late at night!" Xie's mother's voice began to sharpen, "Can't we watch it tomorrow? The hospital won't give you visits, so you don't even want to stay at home for one night? Xie Baijing, do you have a conscience? Are your wings stiff now?"

Xie Baijing had no intention of having another useless quarrel with her, the phone in his pocket was buzzing, and when he took it out, there was only one word "Jiang" on the screen.He immediately glanced at Xie's mother with cold eyes, and warned her not to speak again, then walked into the room while holding the phone: "Hello?"

Ke Jiang: "Are you asleep?"

"I'm going to sleep soon," Xie Baijing whispered, "What's the matter, Jiang Bao, just finished lunch?"

Ke Jiang was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Well, I'm bored. You haven't slept in the hotel, just finished filming?"

Xie Baijing: "Yes, we have to shoot a lot today."

Ke Jiang: "Why do I feel...you are not in the hotel."

Xie Baijing thought to himself, Ke Jiang is really smart enough, this can be guessed.He laughed helplessly, and felt the sound of Xie Mu's approaching from behind, and immediately turned his head vigilantly, stopping her with extremely fierce eyes, and his mouth was still unhurried, and his tone was never even given. Xie Mu's gentleness: "Can I not be in the hotel? I'm going to take a shower first, wait a while, and I'll call you back right away, okay?"

Ke Jiang held the phone firmly and said hello.He held the phone with a black screen in his hand and rang the doorbell again.If the doorbell rang for 10 minutes without interval, even Ke Jiang, who was sleeping deep inside, should have been woken up.

Xie Baijing is not here.He was almost sure.

But what he couldn't control was the strong uneasiness and resentment welling up in his heart.

His uneasiness lies in why this happened, and his resentment lies in why this happened again?

He felt that he was a more open person.He wished he could tell Xie Baijing everything he was thinking, even after the two broke up in an ugly posture, he would try to express his feelings in the emotional quarrel, not to mention his love and enthusiasm up.Ke Jiang never doubted that love should be spoken out, how cowardly is a person who dare not even express love?Later, Xie Baijing broke his belief with his own hands, and made him understand that digging out his heart and lungs may not necessarily get a good return.Later, Xie Baijing chased after him hard. He saw with his own eyes how the man who had always been taciturn expressed his guilt and sincerity clumsily. He boldly and recklessly decided to try again.

But why did Xie Baijing do this again?What is there to hide?Where did Xie Baijing go?

Those bad cold memories all surged up like a tide, almost drowning him over the top of his head.Ke Jiang impulsively took out the ring box and threw it hard on the ground.The moment he finished the fall, he regretted it again, knelt down to pick it up, his fingers were cold, and put the ring box back into his pocket.

After standing up, Ke Jiang was still standing at the door of the room.He looked at the closed door tiredly and blankly, as if looking at Xie Baijing's closed and secretive heart.

Mother Xie said with a bit of yin and yang, "Who is it?"

"What's none of your business?" Xie Baijing put away his phone, he looked at his mother coldly from top to bottom, "You can go out now."

"Don't think I don't know," Xie's mother said, "it's Boss Ke, isn't it? Xie Baijing, you are really confused! When I persuaded you before, you made people look like you would rather die than submit, Now when you shouldn't be messing with him, you still want to do this! You still think you are smart?" She paused, her face turned pale with anger, "Let's have a good talk."

Xie Baijing turned a deaf ear to it, and only repeated emphatically: "You can go out now."

When he was really angry, Xie's mother didn't dare to provoke him rashly, she walked out of the room with hatred in her heart, and slammed the door hard.Xie Baijing didn't care, he decided to see how his grandma was doing first tomorrow, and then had a mandatory conversation with Xie's mother when he got home: they must reach a consensus, either Xie's mother will stay at home obediently and stop causing trouble, or he will never go out again. half a cent.As for his personal emotional life, no one is qualified to interfere.He is confident that he will win the game with his mother, and the only thing he worries about is how his grandmother is doing.The old man has worked so hard for a lifetime and has suffered from too many diseases. Even if he is taken care of properly now, he may fall ill like a mountain.Although judging from his fucking performance, at least his life should not be in danger, but considering how cold-blooded Mother Xie is, everything is still unknown.

Xie Baijing had been working all day, so he hurried over by car at night.Both the assistant and the driver are staying in the hotel, and he has to face his particularly distressing mother alone, which makes him feel extremely tired.The only good thing is that Ke Jiang cared more about him, and even took the initiative to mention the meeting today.Xie Baijing hastily rushed through the shower, made sure that it should be afternoon, and called Ke Jiang back.

The "beep" sounded for a long time before it was connected.Xie Baijing cleared his throat in advance: "Jiang Bao?"

Ke Jiang remained silent.

Xie Baijing: "What are you doing?"

Ke Jiang: "Lie down."

"Take a nap," Xie Baijing said, "Don't sleep on the sofa, it will make your back sore."

"..."

Xie Baijing: "The production team is still very busy these days, but it's not far from my filming. I'll come to see you after this is over."

Ke Jiang finally couldn't help it: "How long are you going to pretend?"

Xie Baijing was stunned.

"Xie Baijing, what the hell are you trying to do?" Ke Jiang raised his voice, "I don't understand, you're there when you're in the hotel, and you're not if you're not, what's the point of hiding it from me? It's fun to lie to me, isn't it? Do you dare to touch your conscience and say, where are you?! I came all the way here, and you pretended to be five people and six people on the phone, but in the middle of the night, don’t tell me that you are staying in Kecheng What about the bed? He's fucking bald! You can do it too?! Are you human, Xie Baijing?!"

Ke Jiang hadn't scolded anyone so heartily for a long time, and he almost knocked Xie Baijing into a daze.

After a while, Xie Baijing's hands trembled slightly: "You came to see me?"

"Get lost." Ke Jiang said, "I'm almost exhausted." He paused and said hoarsely, "I'm so disappointed in you."

"No...I'm not!" Xie Baijing then belatedly thought of defending himself, "I'm at home, my grandma may have had an accident, and I knew about it temporarily, not long after I got home."

"Oh." Ke Jiang said calmly, "Then why are you lying to me?"

What he said was too similar to the tone of the two when they confronted each other, as if they were about to leave decisively in the next second.Xie Baijing's heart was lifted high, pinched tightly until it shrunk together, and all the sour water was squeezed out.He hurriedly: "I didn't do it on purpose! I just don't want to worry you. I don't think it's a big deal. I can solve it myself..." He took a few heavy breaths, and all his sanity was cleared with one click. Phrases to piece together a sentence, "I'm sorry. Jiang Bao, where are you? I'll come to you right away. Are you in the hotel over there? Are you home? The apartment in S city can be occupied at any time, I will clean it up Yes. Is there anyone around you? Are the driver and the secretary there? Wait for me, I'll be right over!"
