Zero-sum game

As soon as he finished his late dinner, Shen Yan saw a notice from Tian Xin in the troupe group, saying that there was a small problem with the rehearsal venue of the theater tomorrow morning, and the rehearsal time was changed to the afternoon.

Shen Yan answered "received" obediently, at this time Zhou Xingchuan hugged him from behind, with the fresh scent of shower gel on his body, he reached for Shen Yan's mobile phone to see what messages were sent in the group, and briefly A slightly damp arm pressed against Shen Yan's face.

Shen Yan ducked down a little uncomfortably, and then said: "Tomorrow's rehearsal time has been changed to afternoon."

"Oh, then I'll answer it too." Zhou Xingchuan said.

"En." Shen Yan turned the phone screen to the side, as if he didn't want Zhou Xingchuan to see other news.

Then he reached out and picked up Zhou Xingchuan's mobile phone on the table. Before he could ask, Zhou Xingchuan said, "The password is six zeros."

When he turned on Zhou Xingchuan's phone, he saw that the messages on WeChat and other apps were all 999+, which was very popular. It seemed that Zhou Xingchuan was the kind of person who was too lazy to deal with messages. All the WeChat groups had not set do-not-disturb, but he was still very happy. Yi easily found the troupe group in the top message, and replied with "received".

Immediately, he saw his profile picture under the troupe group, but the remarks were a string of English words.

"mein..." is followed by a long word beginning with a. Shen Yan thinks that his English is not bad, but he has never seen these two words.

"What does this mean?" Shen Yan asked, casually clicked into the conversation between Zhou Xingchuan and himself, and found that the background of their chat was a photo of himself falling asleep. Judging from the angle and scene, it was yesterday when he was feigning sleep in the car At that time, Zhou Xingchuan secretly filmed, "You still secretly filmed me sleeping."

"Huh?" Zhou Xingchuan had already put on a T-shirt and squeezed to sit beside him, "Guess?"

"I can't guess." Shen Yan picked up his phone and asked for Baidu.

Zhou Xingchuan pressed his hand down, "No, I have to guess first."

"Okay." Shen Yan was helpless.

However, Zhou Xingchuan didn't wait for him to answer, his hands became restless, slipped in along the hem of Shen Yan's clothes, and pinched the soft flesh around Shen Yan's waist.

Shen Yan hid with a smile, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Xingchuan reached out to hug him, and let him sit on his lap, "You only have a little flesh when you sit. I'm afraid that if the wind is stronger outside, I'm afraid it will blow you away."

Shen Yan looked at him sideways, "It's been like this since I was a child, I can't get fat from eating."

Zhou Xingchuan raised his hand and touched the ribs on his side, "No, I have to find a way to make you fat."

"I still have to go on stage, I won't look like Shen Yi when I'm fat."

Zhou Xingchuan hugged him up and took advantage of the situation to kiss Shen Yan's side face.

Shen Yan felt something, and said with a smile: "You started again..."

"It's more normal for me to be like this," Zhou Xingchuan objected, "To be honest, you are like that kind of medicine to me."

His hand slid down, causing Shen Yan to breathe unevenly, he reached out to hug Zhou Xingchuan's neck, and straddled him.

The warm light in the living room was pouring down from the ceiling, half of Shen Yan's face was in the shadow of the light, there was some hazy light in his slightly squinted eyes, there was a sense of pure desire under the soft light.

He leaned on Zhou Xingchuan's shoulder, breathing unevenly.

After a while, Zhou Xingchuan reached out to wipe the paper towel on the table, Shen Yan saw that he didn't intend to go any further, and asked, "What about you?"

Zhou Xingchuan smiled and said, "It depends on your performance."

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly knelt down.

There was no rehearsal the next morning, and the two of them logically slept until after ten o'clock. The sun shone in through the gap in the curtains. Shen Yan rubbed his eyes and found that Zhou Xingchuan had woken up and was sitting on the bed, watching something with his tablet.

Noticing the movement beside him, Zhou Xingchuan put the tablet aside, lay down again and moved to Shen Yan's side, asking, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "I'm not hungry."

Then he moved a bit, frowned and said, "The knee hurts."

Zhou Xingchuan lifted his legs, rubbed his knees under the quilt, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for my mistake."

"By the way, school will start next week," Zhou Xingchuan said, "I'll help you move all the books in the dormitory over then."

"Oh." Shen Yan reached out to touch his mobile phone, and then replied a few messages, "Wu Shuyu said to have dinner with us tonight."

"Huh? When did you get so familiar with him?" Zhou Xingchuan felt very strange.

"Because... knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win a hundred battles," Shen Yan lifted the quilt and got up, "To defeat the enemy, you must cut in from the rear."

Zhou Xingchuan also got up, caught him and kissed him on the face, "You don't need to cut in, I surrender."

Shen Yan ignored him and went straight to the bathroom, Zhou Xingchuan followed him like a dog.

The rehearsal in the afternoon went more smoothly than yesterday. Brother Liang Zhe came to watch the rehearsal as usual, but he didn't say anything until the end, and left after watching the rehearsal.

There is not much time left before the show starts, and school will start next week, and rehearsal time will be reduced, so the team atmosphere is still a little tense.

After the rehearsal, Tian Xin watched Shen Yan go to change clothes, secretly pulled Zhou Xingchuan aside, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you yesterday."

The smile and gossip on his face carried a trace of obscenity, Zhou Xingchuan said in a bad mood: "Say something quickly."

Tian Xin gestured to Shen Yan to go, and said, "What's the situation with you two? Are you in a good relationship now?"

Zhou Xingchuan thought that Tian Xin would have noticed it so soon.Although they didn't officially announce their relationship to others, they didn't deliberately cover it up either, so they said, "It's pretty good."

"Not bad, keep it up," Tian Xin was relieved, although what she said to Zhou Xingchuan was not the same thing at all.

Thinking of the rehearsal scene when Zhou Xingchuan and Shen Yan had an awkward quarrel last time, she still had lingering fears. She felt that these two people must be kind and friendly, and don't lose the chain before the performance.

In the evening, Wu Shuyu made an appointment at a Hunan restaurant, and while Zhou Xingchuan was going to the bathroom, Shen Yan returned the earring to Wu Shuyu, saying: "No matter what the other party's reaction is, you don't need to tell Zhou Xingchuan."

Wu Shuyu thought to himself that this kind of behavior is simply an empress in the palace, "ok."

Shen Yan asked again: "By the way, are you going to start school too?"

"I don't know where to go yet," Wu Shuyu said, "Wait until my dad finds a way for me to get a place in school. It's difficult. I, a sea turtle studying abroad, might go to a vocational school for junior college."

Zhou Xingchuan just came back at this time, and said, "Your American Pheasant University is not much better than a junior college."

Wu Shuyu also smiled frankly, "I can't help it, I'm not a student at all."

The three of them had a good meal, and during the dinner, Shen Yan pretended to be casual and asked: "How is Mo Qiang these two days?"

Wu Shuyu glanced at Zhou Xingchuan and found that he had no special expression, so he said: "I don't know, I haven't contacted me for several days, and I probably think of me as your accomplice."

Zhou Xingchuan smiled and said, "Aren't you?"

"Don't, don't," Wu Shuyu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's fine for the two of you to live together, and I won't let a third party get involved."

The school will start next week. In the past few days, some students have returned to school one after another, and the dormitory is also open. After dinner, Zhou Xingchuan and Shen Yan went back together. They stopped at the school along the way. Shen Yan said that he would go back to get some things.

"Do you really not need me to go up with you?" Zhou Xingchuan asked.

Shen Yan shook his head, "I'll go by myself, let my roommate see them and have something to say."

Zhou Xingchuan laughed and said, "Your roommate is so gossip?"

"No." Shen Yan thought about it and felt that he couldn't say a few words, "In short, you can wait for me here."

Zhou Xingchuan's Lexus is not a top-of-the-line car, and the total price is only about [-] yuan. It is not conspicuous on the street, but it is still somewhat eye-catching when parked downstairs in the dormitory.

He was waiting for Shen Yan to come down while playing with his mobile phone in the car, when someone knocked on the window of the car suddenly, he looked up and found that it was a girl, he remembered seeing him before, she seemed to be called Xiao Ya.

"Zhou Xingchuan is really you, isn't this your car?" Xiao Ya said pleasantly.

Zhou Xingchuan paused for a moment, not telling the truth, "No, it's my dad's car. What's the matter with you?"

"Ah, no, I just passed by and saw that the people inside looked a bit like you, so I just said hello, what are you doing here? I remember you don't live in the dormitory."

"Well, I'm waiting here." Zhou Xingchuan replied with a smile on the surface, his fingers were already tapping the steering wheel impatiently, why didn't Shen Yan come down?

Shen Yan went upstairs to open the door, thinking that it would be better if no one was there, at least Hu Dongdi would be fine.

However, as one wished, he opened the door, and there was already a roommate inside. He said hello to his desk, and Hu Dongdi just came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Shen Yan coming in empty-handed, Hu Dongdi asked: "Hey, Shen Yan, you came so early too, why didn't you see your luggage?"

"I'll take something and leave." Shen Yan didn't want to explain further.

He didn't know when he offended Hu Dongdi. On the surface, this person was affectionate to him, but in fact he knew very well that it was Hu Dongdi who was secretly cooperating with other roommates to exclude him.

"Are you staying in a hotel? Are you so rich?" Because school has not officially started yet, and hot water has not been uniformly turned on in the stingy school dormitories, so many people live off-campus for the first two days.

"No, I'm staying with a friend." Shen Yan quickly packed up a few books and notes, and started to walk outside.

Hu Dongdi blocked him and said, "Friend? Could it be Zhou Xingchuan?"

Shen Yan looked up at him instantly, Hu Dongdi giggled, "It seems that I guessed right."

"I heard that someone invested in your gay drama. It's really lucky. How much money can you make for a show?"

Shen Yan quickly said: "I don't know either."

Then, ignoring what he said later, he opened and closed the door in one go, and went directly downstairs.

Zhou Xingchuan, who was dragged by Xiao Ya to chat here, saw Shen Yan coming from a distance, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, saying: "The person I was waiting for is here, let's talk next time."

"... If you don't mind, can I take the co-pilot for a while..." Xiao Ya's words were interrupted by Zhou Xingchuan, and he followed his gaze to look at the person coming, and found that it was actually Shen Yan, his eyes became a little colder.

Shen Yan only met her a few times, and he didn't say a few words in the school theater troupe before, but he still knew her, so he didn't say much, opened the car door and got in after saying hello.

"We still have something to do, let's talk next time when we have a chance." After Zhou Xingchuan finished speaking, he closed the window and started the car to drive away.

After the car drove away, Zhou Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but found that Shen Yan's actions were actually the same as his. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together.
