Borrowing a Kiss

At 06:30, Cen Nan and Liang Muqiu left the hotel on time and took a taxi to the agreed restaurant.

The Hyatt Building is not far from the hotel, and it takes about [-] minutes to arrive.

Along the way, Liang Muqiu propped his chin and looked out the window.

The last time he came to Yanyan was in his senior year. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and he is even less familiar with this place, but the high-rise buildings in every city are similar, with steel and iron frames, cold and familiar.

The only thing that shows a little human touch is the sycamores on the whole street. When it is close to summer, it becomes wider and thicker, and the crown of branches extends out, like an umbrella covering the sky, leaving only a sparse opening to reveal the evening sky.

Liang Muqiu couldn't help but think of the apartment he and Cen Nan lived in, the Yulan apartment next to the university, and the street is also surrounded by sycamore trees, and there will be catkins flying in spring, which is a bit annoying, but also a bit beautiful.

He waited for Cen Nan to finish class on the bench under the plane tree, and once kissed Cen Nan under the street lamp at night.

There are often wild cats next to the apartment. In spring, the cats meow loudly and play around beside the tree. After kissing him, Cen Nan pinches the back of his neck and shows him the little white cat rolling its belly beside him. Said, "See that cat, you are just like it on the bed."

After seven or eight years, Liang Muqiu was still flustered with embarrassment when he thought of this, his eyes scratched Cen Nan like a knife, and he turned away more resolutely.

Cen Nan didn't know why, and didn't know where he had provoked him again.

When we arrived at the Kaiyue Building, Liu Fengtao was already sitting inside, and his girlfriend was also there. She was a kind girl with a round face, named Wang Ni, and she was sitting with Liu Fengtao, who looked like a husband and wife.

After Cen Nan and Liang Muqiu arrived, the two young leading actors arrived. They looked even better than in the photos. They were really young, wearing simple shirts and trousers. At first glance, it looks out of place with the adults who are almost thirty at the table.

Liang Muqiu's meal was not only to bond with Liu Fengtao, but also to see the two leading actors in advance.

These two young people took the most important roles in the play. As the screenwriter, Liang Muqiu, although he didn't participate in the casting too much at the beginning, he still cared about them.

Seeing him now, I have to admit that Liu Fengtao has a good eye.

The one who played the honor student Chen Mingsheng looked dignified and elegant at first glance, with a white and clean face, he looked cold when he didn't smile.Next to him, who played the little gangster Xu Jie, was very handsome, with dark skin, even if he was polite in his speech, he still had a kind of wildness and arrogance that couldn't be concealed.

The key point is that the two are still very familiar with each other. Friends from a school have a much better understanding than other newcomers, which saves the step of getting familiar with each other.

But the appearance fits the bill, and it looks quite aura. Until the official shooting, everything is uncertain, especially since these two children are still freshmen at the Academy of Film and Television.

Liang Muqiu suffered from an occupational disease, squinting his eyes slightly to look at the two young men up and down, he still has aura when he is not smiling, like a shrewd gem merchant pondering two rough stones, measuring them without emotion, and treating others with respect nervous.

Liu Fengtao smiled, mediated from the side, and introduced Liang Muqiu to the two leading actors, "This is Mr. Liang, our screenwriter, if you have any questions about the plot, you can come to him at any time, don't be afraid, Mr. Liang is actually Very good-tempered."

The two nodded quickly, called the screenwriter politely, and wanted to toast according to the rules of the wine table.

Liang Muqiu was amused, and waved his hands again and again, "You're welcome, we'll be together for another month."

He looked at the beer in front of the two boys, summoned the waiter, and said, "Remove their wine, children, don't drink, and replace it with fruit juice. There will be plenty of opportunities to drink in the future, let's forget about it today."

Cen Nan's lips curled up when he heard it.

He once said the same to Liang Muqiu. At the high school graduation reunion, he snatched the beer in front of Liang Muqiu and replaced it with a cup of lemon tea. He told him that children should not drink, or he would carry it back when he was drunk.

Time passed, and it was Liang Muqiu's turn to say this to the younger generation.

Obviously he himself was a quiet and introverted young student back then, but now he has become a considerate and thoughtful elder, taking care of others.

Cen Nan smiled, peeled the prawns, and put them into Liang Muqiu's bowl.

He picked up a wet towel to wipe his hands, and when he looked up, he happened to see the boy who played Xu Jie also peeled a shrimp and put it into "Chen Mingsheng"'s bowl.

Cen Nan couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Right now, Liang Muqiu was talking to Liu Fengtao, and Liu Fengtao's girlfriend was looking at his mobile phone. No one seemed to notice this scene except him.

Those two people didn't know that their little tricks had been discovered, and they looked at each other with a smile, their eyebrows and eyes revealed their own feelings, their arms touched their arms, and the chairs were a little closer than others.

Cen Nan couldn't help laughing, thinking that he really was a child, a young man with deep love, so bright that it hurts people's eyes, but he always thought that he was covering it up very well.

Or maybe she never thought of hiding it at all, always thinking that the sky is high and the sea is vast, and she is so in love that she can't care about the eyes of others.

He quietly looked away, unable to tell what was in his heart for a while, and remembered himself at that moment.

This meal lasted until 09:30.

When the group broke up, the moon and stars were scarce outside. Liu Fengtao originally wanted to send Liang Muqiu and Cen Nan off, but Liang Muqiu waved his hand and pointed to the two leading actors next to him, "Just send them off. I want to go for a walk. I'm tired of walking." Take another taxi."

Liu Fengtao can do it if he thinks about it.

He greeted the two leading actors to get into the car, and said to Liang Muqiu, "Then you pay attention to safety, go back to bed early, don't be too tired, and call me if you need anything."

Liang Muqiu smiled, "Whispering, why are you still so worried, Ms. Liu?"

Liu Fengtao was caught off guard by his nickname back then, and slapped on the car door, "Don't bark! You're being a donkey."

The girlfriend next to him chuckled.

Liang Muqiu jumped up the roadside steps, proudly said, "I praise you for being careful, well, you can go back too, see you tomorrow."

A few people waved goodbye, and the Wrangler drove away.

Only Cen Nan and Liang Muqiu were left on the side of the road.

It wasn't too late now, walking on the sidewalk, the two sides of the road were quite lively, even though Liang Muqiu had just had dinner, he was a little greedy when he saw the jelly on the side of the road, so he bought a bowl.

The way he eats these snacks has always been very cute. Cen Nan looked at him with more gentle eyes than he imagined.

Walking halfway, he remembered what happened at the dinner table just now, and asked Liang Muqiu, "Did you see just now that the relationship between your two leading actors is not ordinary. Pay more attention when shooting, young people tend to lose their temper when they are in love, don't Delay your filming."

Liang Muqiu was a little dazed, he didn't realize what kind of "unusual" it was for a while, and he didn't realize it until he caught Cen Nan's line of sight, and he still didn't quite believe it.

"No way, they're from the same school, and they're still good brothers. It's normal to get close." He spent most of the night chatting with Liu Fengtao about movies, and didn't pay much attention to the two children. There are so many gays in the crew."

Cen Nan thought he was slow, "Good brother? Have you ever seen a brother who helps peel shrimps, wipes hands, looks at each other frequently during a meal, and secretly holds hands when going down the stairs?"

Liang Muqiu was stunned for a while, but he really didn't notice.

"Then I really have to pay attention," he pondered, "Let them play brothers, play family members, don't play too much for me, and you won't be able to pass the trial later."

After finishing speaking, he threw the small bowl in his hand into the trash can, and spread his hands at Cen Nan as he was used to.

Cen Nan took out a tissue from his pocket and helped Liang Muqiu wipe his hands.

He heard Liang Muqiu say, "You are careful. We were so busy eating and chatting that we didn't pay attention to those two children."

Hearing this, Cen Nan looked up at Liang Muqiu.

"I'm not careful, it's because the way Xu Jie looked at Chen Mingsheng was just like how I looked at you back then."

The eager eyes that couldn't be concealed, the arms that were lightly bumped together, and secretly hooked the little finger while no one was paying attention.

Which one, which one.

It wasn't what he did to Liang Muqiu back then.

There are more excessive ones.

Time flies, he has passed by a long time ago, but he looked at the two young boys opposite him, as if he saw himself back then.

Liang Muqiu was taken aback for a moment, then stopped, and looked up at Cen Nan.

Cen Nan reached out and touched his head, and said, "I'm actually a little jealous of them."

Liang Muqiu bit his lip, he didn't understand at all, but he asked, "Why are you jealous, what do you want to be jealous of these two young students?"

Cen Nan smiled, "I can't tell, but I just feel sore."

In fact, these two young people had it, and he and Liang Muqiu had it too.

Not only did he and Liang Muqiu not lose in that passionate love, but even worse.

But still jealous.

Maybe they are jealous that they are still so ignorant and fearless, they have not been bent by reality, they have not been forced to the cliff but have nowhere to fall.

Cen Nan sighed, and he gently hugged Liang Muqiu into his arms.

Under the lush plane trees, they embraced each other, as if they were not in Yandu, but next to the Magnolia Apartment back then.

Liang Muqiu struggled perfunctorily, and let Cen Nan hold her.

He heard Cen Nan say, "Sometimes I do envy those eighteen or nineteen-year-old students, but if I had to choose, I would still choose now. Because only now can I do what I want more freely."

And love who I want to love.

Liang Muqiu raised his head from his arms, and it was clear that Cen Nan didn't say a word, but he understood it in an instant.

When I was a student, I was really fearless, as if I was not afraid of anything. When I really entered the society, I realized that there are cliffs everywhere.

It was rare that he didn't contradict Cen Nan, and quietly let Cen Nan hug him for a while, until the passers-by looked at him with surprise in their eyes, Liang Muqiu couldn't stand the embarrassment, and gently pushed Cen Nan down.

"Stop dawdling, go back to the hotel." He whispered.

Cen Nan didn't insist, and let go of his hand obediently.

The two walked side by side on the path, stepping on the leaves of the sycamore tree under their feet. The two shadows were still separated by a little distance, but unconsciously, they stuck together again.
