Self-knowledge

After eating hot pot, the child stammered that he and his parents had fallen out.

The child wanted to pursue his music dream, but his parents cut off his financial resources when they disagreed. As he was approaching graduation, the money in his card was not enough to pay the first installment of rent.He blushed and asked, could he stay at Sun Xiao's house for a while?

"I can help Brother Xiaoxiao with housework! I can also learn to cook!"

"There is already a music talent show looking for me, Brother Xiaoxiao, when I win the award and sign with the record company, I will be able to pay back your rent."

The child's eyes were shining, and the eyelashes were long and trembling slightly. Sun Xiao looked back and felt that the content in these eyes was very familiar.

He rinsed a piece of hairy belly, wrapped it in peanut butter and ate it while breathing hot, then put the chopsticks on the table, grinning and showing his canine teeth, "Let's go shoot, I promise you if you win."

An hour later, when the two of them came out of Tom Bear, they were both holding their stomachs. Sun Xiao felt that he was really brain twitching, why not eat so full and go to exercise immediately.

The kid had exhausted all of his skills, and now he was covering his stomach with a pale face. The two found a corner seat in the shopping mall and sat down in a daze.

Five minutes later, Sun Xiao laughed out loud to himself.

He laughed until tears almost came out, passers-by frowned and swept across here from time to time, Ding Wanda was also smiling, his lips were beautifully shaped, pursed and turned up, outlining a nice line.

The two looked at each other, one's eyes were full of longing and affection, while the other's eyes were bottomless.

"Move tomorrow."

Sun Xiao thought about the game currency in his hand, shook it at Ding Wanda, and said.

The child officially moved in and slept on the sofa. Sun Xiao was also free recently. During the day, he helped him prepare for the competition and did some song adaptation work.

Ding Wanda described to him longingly that after getting the ranking and signing with the record company, he would invite Sun Xiao to be his arranger and print the words Ding Wanda and Sun Xiao on the cover of the album.

Then he also wanted to rent a music rehearsal room, buy a set of drums that he had liked for a long time, and make a sound-absorbing wall, with photos of him and Sun Xiao on the wall.

Such a future is not too bad to think about.

Occasionally, Sun Xiao also receives some interview calls, and now he not only applies for firms, but also for some corporate resumes.

Regarding the background check, he was hesitant to find the company he left before, but he didn't expect that one day the partner who brought him contacted him and asked him to come out to meet.

He originally thought of a lot of excuses to explain everything mentioned in that email, his relationship with Gu Cheng, the two did not cross the line after Gu Cheng got married, and the ABCD man who did not exist at all.

The partner sat down and said straightforwardly: "Sun Xiao, I know what kind of person you are. An email is not a judgment. Haven't we seen enough of these things in our business?"

"I'm here today to tell you two things. One is the background check. You don't have to worry about it. You are a very good employee. The company will not define your morality based on rumors that have not been investigated and have no clear evidence. ;"

"The second thing. After all, this incident has had a relatively bad impact on your personal reputation. Do you need to go through legal channels?"

Sun Xiao's heart seemed to be floating in the icy ocean all this time, but now it was wrapped in a spoonful of warm water just right.

Opposite is his immediate boss, who scolded him bloody when he first joined the job. Sun Xiao still remembers that he and Ye Xiang secretly vomited bitterness several times, saying that the boss Zhou was picky, and he blamed him for the fourth day for three days in a row. Wear jeans to work.

But now, looking at the leader in a straight suit with a serious face in front of him, he feels that today's sunshine is really good, the music in the coffee shop is also his favorite song, and even the latte in his hand is beautiful enough to be just right.

He raised his head, smiling confidently as he had done countless times before, and the light plated on his hair, dyeing it a beautiful dark brown.

He knows that he is back again, he already knows that the world is hard and not easy, and he still laughs and looks silly.

Ding Wanda stayed at Sun Xiao's house for almost half a year. In the end, he didn't win the award, and he couldn't pay back Sun Xiao's rent.

They failed to make an album with their names on the cover, and they failed to complete their dream music rehearsal room.

On the day of the graduation dinner, the child drank too much at school. He is the grass of their department. He is tall and can sing. He is the admiration of many girls.

Several buddies in the department wanted to pull him to stay and sing all night after dinner, and some girls also wanted to seize the last chance to confess their love wildly, but he refused.

He stopped the car and rushed home in a hurry. With the help of alcohol, he had a strong desire to ask Sun Xiao the answer to the question a few months ago.

When he asked, he regretted it, because he saw Sun Xiao's beautiful eyelashes flicker, and he answered his question a second later.

He looks after him as a younger brother.

Afterwards, Ding Wanda disappeared for a few days. When he came back, his eyes were swollen, and he said calmly that he wanted to have hot pot with Sun Xiao again.

Sun Xiao didn't ask too much, he nodded, went to the Chengdu hot pot restaurant they often go to, ordered Jiugongge, and ordered their usual beef, hairy tripe, bullfrog, duck intestines, and yellow throat.

The child was depressed all the time while eating, and Sun Xiao held chopsticks for him, and chatted with him intermittently about the latest game.

The music elective program that Ding Wanda participated in is a strong promotion project of the local TV station this year. He found a well-known music tutor. He passed the audition, the semi-finals, selected a tutor, and competed on stage for two rounds. He has already been counted among the top [-] in the country. .

Music talent shows are popping up one after another now, and the one that Ding Wanda participated in is not considered a big hit. In fact, Sun Xiao has never been very optimistic about this kind of talent show. Any red spot or hot spot depends on the behind-the-scenes promoters. The national singing is so good. Wan Wan, as someone who has experienced it, Sun Xiao knows how difficult it is to stand out from the crowd.

However, the child has quietly become popular. Single-person cuts about children on Weibo and video sites have become popular, and even trended on Weibo.

Sun Xiao has seen those short videos, he is very handsome under the spotlight, such a long-legged handsome guy is so nervous holding the guitar that his hands shake, and he is easy to eat screws when he talks, but he seems to be a different person when he enters the melody, pure and timid His eyes immediately became affectionate. Such a cute contrast made him popular on the Internet. Many girls left messages under the video and called him Wangzai.

He retired at this stall.

Listening to Ding Wanda's intermittent narration, Sun Xiaocai knew that the child was the only son of the chairman of Greentown, a famous real estate group in City A.

He refused to accept the family business and chose music dreams, and his parents cut off his financial resources and wanted to force him to submit.

But I didn't expect that he could last so long alone, nor did he expect that he could really achieve some achievements in music.

After all, it is his own child, Ding's father and Ding's mother softened a bit, and even secretly asked someone to help run the hot search on Weibo, and even went to say hello to the TV station, hoping to get a default quota.

Ding Wanda gave up.

He went home and told his parents with a determined and pained expression that he had given up.

What he didn't tell Sun Xiao was that his musical dream was a dream he wanted to fulfill for Sun Xiao.Originally, he just wanted to accompany Sun Xiao silently, whether as a friend or as a music partner.

But he was more and more dissatisfied with this identity. When he heard the word "brother", fear and anxiety rose from his heart.

He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.

There are many desires in a person's life, but there is only one obsession.

Ding Wanda let go of the countless dreams in his heart. He accepted his parents' proposal to study abroad and inherit the family business after returning to China—so that he could grow faster.He didn't want to be a brother forever.

"Brother Xiaoxiao, can you wait for me?"

Wait for me, wait for me to grow up, stop treating me as a younger brother, wait for me to become the man who can protect you from wind and rain.

After receiving Sun Xiao's answer, he begged for a parting hug at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.

Over the years, he needs to rely on the remaining warmth of this hug to survive the long time alone.
