Ambiguous boundaries

Jiang Yi had a dream when he was sleeping at night.

In the dream, Qi Zhen was still a milk dumpling who had just joined the company, the little one was very thin.When the company staff took him to the practice room to introduce them, Qi Zhen timidly called them brother next to each other, like a shy puppy.

After a flash in the picture, Qi Zhen really turned into a dog.It's a white bichon christmas, following Jiang Yi all the time.

Whether it's in the practice room, in the cafeteria, or in the recording studio.As long as he is in the company, Qi Zhen can be seen clinging to Jiang Yi in any corner.

If Jiang Yi saw other people not playing with him, he would angrily scratch Jiang Yi's neckline with his fluffy paws to express his dissatisfaction.

Once Jiang Yi rubbed his head to comfort him, he would open his round black eyes and look at Jiang Yi with his tongue out.

The cute and fluffy Jiang Yi's heart is about to melt.

Jiang Yi slept very soundly throughout the night, even when he woke up he was still smacking his memories.

He felt that maybe he lived alone for too long and wanted to raise a dog.

After washing up, he took out his phone, and besides some work contacts, he saw a friend request in the address book.

The id is 1, and the avatar is all black.

The word Qi Zhen was written in the application notes, which was recommended by Xiao Yang's business card.After he left the company that year, he cut off all contact with Qi Zhen. ?

He had no idea when Xiao Yang joined Qi Zhen.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yi clicked pass.

He poked open Qi Zhen's circle of friends with a desire to spy, and what he saw was a gray horizontal line.

.........

Dude, block him.

Jiang Yi returned to the chat interface, and saw the message from Qi Zhen.

1: Brave Xiao Jiang?

Brave Xiao Jiang:?

1: Do you have anything to do with bravery?

........

A beautiful day begins with the dream that Qi Zhen turns into a dog, and ends with him not speaking human words.

Jiang Yi didn't want to engage in unnecessary disputes on this kind of topic, so he replied with an emoji with an ellipsis and closed WeChat

When Jiang Yi arrived at the company, he checked the upcoming itinerary with Rence, and found that there were a few more activities that he had no impression of.

"What are these?" Jiang Yi knocked on the table, "Isn't this the premiere of Qi Zhen's new movie, what does it matter to me?"

Rence took a puff of a lady's cigarette, and the office smelled faintly of red wine.

"Didn't you start to hype CP? Of course you will go to his movie premiere."

"It seems that I haven't agreed yet."

"I've already discussed with his team and the producer, and you can go to be a guest to help promote it." Ever since Rence knew the actual relationship between him and Qi Zhen, he began to be merciless at work, "The essence of frying CP Isn't it mutual benefit?"

.....

In fact, Jiang Yi knew that if he insisted on not cooperating, the company would have no way to deal with him.

But the words of refusal came to his lips, but he couldn't utter them. He still didn't know whether it was his own selfishness or compensation for Qi Zhen back then.

"I have a question, isn't the company afraid that it will be difficult to untie Qi Zhen after I bind it?"

"The two of you are not in a bonded relationship, and your popularity doesn't need to be bonded. It's just that you have some proper interactions to make the fire of cp fans burn more fiercely." Rence analyzed to Qi Zhen, "You used to be a There is no shortage of food for CP fans when the group is together every day, but now we need to create communication for you on the itinerary that you have no communication. You don’t have to deliberately sell rot like those people, the two of you in the same frame are food.”

Jiang Yi felt that Rence had worked so hard for CP fans.

When it came to the premiere ceremony of Qi Zhen's movie, Jiang Yi was inexplicably nervous while sitting in the background putting on makeup.

He looked at the boy who put on makeup on him with gossip, and looked at him in the mirror several times before hesitating to speak.

Jiang Yi knew that everyone felt very surprised. From being in a group to not socializing, to being on variety shows and popular searches together, some inexplicable people came here temporarily to promote.

Everyone would feel that the entertainment industry is changing rapidly, including himself.

Qi Zhen walked into the dressing room with a cup in his hand.

His look today is very simple, a black leather jacket with a light-colored lining, and black straight-leg pants on his lower body, making his legs look long and straight.Half of the hair was styled at the back of the head, revealing sharp and deep eyebrows.

Jiang Yi met Qi Zhen's gaze in the mirror.

He thought to himself that everyone had to bite the bullet and come here, and he still had to do a full set, so he took the initiative to say hello.

Qi Zhen glanced at him, and this time replied him cooperatively.

"You've already finished your preparations." Jiang Yi had nothing to say.

"En." Qi Zhen replied with a single word.

".....Did you drink coffee? I remember you didn't like to drink bitter ones before." In order not to be cold, Jiang Yi continued.

"You still remember these?" Qi Zhen sarcastically.

"..."

Jiang Yi felt that he and Qi Zhen couldn't go on.

Seeing the make-up artist's eyes that couldn't hold back the gossip, Jiang Yi let out a laugh and found himself a step down.

"After all, we are all teammates together for so long, how can we not remember?"

"Then you remember them too?" Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course." Jiang Yi nodded.

After saying this, he saw Qi Zhen snorted, turned his head and obviously didn't want to continue talking to him. ?

He didn't know which sentence he said wrong again.

The whole process of the premiere ceremony went smoothly, and Jiang Yi appeared as a guest during the media Q&A session.Because no rumors were released in advance, only some media knew about the gossip, and the audience didn't know about it.

So when he came out, he heard an uproar from below.

It's just that the direction of the media is a bit biased in the middle, and all the discussions that should have revolved around the movie have all revolved around him and Qi Zhen, which seems a bit overwhelming.

Some of the media's questions were quite sharp, which caused him to hang up on the spot.

"Actually, everyone knows that you have not been in touch for a long time after you left Galaxy. I would like to ask why you came to promote the movie starring Qi Zhen this time?"

"The lack of contact at that time does not mean that there is no contact now. We grew up together. This is the first time he has starred in a big movie. As an older brother, he will definitely come to join us."

"Then why didn't the other three team members come?"

"They couldn't meet the schedule, maybe, the producer only invited me."

"Do you think Qi Zhen's acting skills have improved compared to before? Because you are in the transformation of idols, and there are many slanders."

"Of course, he works very hard." Jiang Yi's words are sincere, because no one knows better than him that Qi Zhen is a hardworking person.

"I have watched other TV series and movies he acted in before, and his acting skills will be a little jerky at the beginning, but in the last suspense drama, I found that he has changed a lot, and he has a good grasp of the characters, and there are several places. Shocked me."

"People make progress through continuous learning, and Qi Zhen will get better and better." Jiang Yi turned his head after finishing speaking, "Besides, being able to get into the eyes of a great director like Director Li is naturally excellent. Everyone can Ask the production team about the experience of inviting Qi Zhen."

After speaking, the media and the production team were all laughing, knowing that Jiang Yi was reminding them to change the subject.

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded towards them.

When answering, he could feel that he was surrounded by Qi Zhen's hot gaze, but he didn't look back.

After the premiere ceremony, Jiang Yi returned to the backstage lounge.

Xiao Yang went out to buy coffee for him, the whole lounge was quiet and he was the only one.

After a while the door was opened, Jiang Yi thought it was Xiao Yang, and was about to put it on the table when he saw Qi Zhen.

Jiang Yi was trying to dismiss Xiaole, so he couldn't give him more eyes.

Qi Zhen closed the door, walked to his sofa chair and asked casually, "Have you seen the things I acted before?"

Jiang Yi thought he was going to ask something, but it turned out to be what he said at the premiere.

Jiang Yi nodded.

"Why do you want to watch?" Qi Zhen was very straightforward.

Jiang Yi was stopped by the question, and he didn't know why.

Just subconsciously pay attention to his movements.

"I usually watch it when I have nothing to do. Besides, those few dramas of yours are all big hits. If I have nothing to do, I will follow them up on Weibo." Jiang Yi replied very officially.

"Oh."

Qi Zhen's expression turned cold all of a sudden, Jiang Yi didn't hear the answer he wanted, which made him look a little aggrieved for no reason.

The lights in the room were only half turned on, and Qi Zhen was half alone in the dark looking lonely for no reason.

Jiang Yi felt very uncomfortable seeing Qi Zhen like this, and the guilt that had been sealed in his heart broke out.Coupled with the connivance towards Qi Zhen cultivated since childhood, he grabbed Qi Zhen with his hands faster than his brain.

Qi Zhen probably didn't expect it, and looked back a little surprised.

"That... I want to say that I have actually watched all your dramas, which are really good." Jiang Yi avoided Qi Zhen's gaze, and said sincerely, "As an actor who was born as an idol, you have grown to be able to A solo actor has really made great progress."

Qi Zhen waited for him to grab his wrist, although his mouth was still pursed, his expression was much better than before.

Jiang Yi felt that he almost missed seeing Qi Zhen wagging his tail.

He suddenly felt that Qi Zhen, who had softened now, might be able to communicate normally, and maybe the two of them could return to a normal friendship and there was no need to stand still.

"Actually, if possible, I would like to tell you that we can start as friends again." Jiang Yi summoned up his courage and continued, "After all, we still have a relationship at work. If we continue to maintain this, it will not be good in front of the camera. .”

After he finished speaking, he wanted to slap his own mouth. He just wanted to continue to maintain a normal relationship with Qi Zhen. Why did his taste change when he said it.

Sure enough, when Qi Zhen heard these words, his face that hadn't softened for half a minute immediately became ugly again.

Qi Zhen shook off his hand, Jiang Yi felt that Qi Zhen's silent grievances were about to spread.

"You always seem to care about your career? If it weren't for the cp pink bonus this time, you wouldn't have come to my premiere. Do you think I'm really bad at this traffic?"

"Or am I bad for your friend?"

Qi Zhen's eyes were so cold that they could drop scum, and he left without looking back after saying this.

Jiang Yi felt as if he had messed up the matter, causing the relationship between the two to go backwards.

He didn't want Qi Zhen to feel that he was because of the camera, he just wanted to start as friends with him again.

Even if there is nothing else, since they reunited and worked together after so many years, the unhappiness in between should have ended long ago.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a WeChat message to Qi Zhen to explain, but he received a red exclamation mark after sending a long series of messages.
