Nothing in this world travels faster than gossip.
Yan Xi's hometown is out of town. Every Spring Festival, he packs his luggage and goes back to his hometown to spend the New Year with his parents.
After the holiday, as soon as he got back on the plane, he heard about Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning in his circle of friends.
"Do you know about Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning?"
"It seems that Zhuang Yan has a crush on Xie Ning and is chasing him."
"Of course it's true, this is what Qi Rui told me personally. Qi Rui and Zhuang Yan grew up wearing almost a pair of pants. Can what he said be false!"
Yan Xi: ? ?
When he contacted Xie Ning, the rumors had escalated again and again, from Zhuang Yan to Xie Ning, to Zhuang Yan already chasing Xie Ning, and then someone firmly stated that they were already together.
Yan Xi asked Xie Ning: "You and Zhuang Yan..." What is the situation
Before he could finish the question, he saw Xie Ning blushing slowly.
"!!!"
Yan Xi took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "You guys are really together?!"
For a time, his heart was filled with the heartache that the Chinese cabbage that he had worked so hard to grow was arched by a pig.
Xie Ning shook his head and said in a weak tone, "Not yet together."
Yan Xi didn't feel much better when he heard the words.
Seeing Xie Ning's blushing face, wandering eyes, and suspicious pauses when he spoke, he looked like a budding heart.
Although they are not together yet, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time.
Yan Xi sighed deeply and asked, "Then what step have you...
Xie Ning: "… "
Xie Ning had always had nothing to hide from Yan Xi, but this time he was very embarrassed.
Yan Xi: "You didn't agree?"
Xie Ning shook his head: "I'm not mentally prepared yet."
Yan Xi remembered that Xie Ning asked him for the contact information of Dr. Ji in the middle of the night, and his heart moved.
He also asked Dr. Ji later that during the Spring Festival, Dr. Ji's mobile phone was turned on as usual, but he said that Xie Ning hadn't contacted him, and he didn't know if he forgot.
Even so, Yan Xi felt very relieved.
This is Shainin's first initiative to try to contact a psychiatrist.
He doesn't know if this has anything to do with Zhuang Yan, but there is no doubt that Xie Ning now has the mind to go out from his closed space and slowly contact the world.
As long as he has the will, it is a huge improvement.
"If I remember correctly, you and him should have known each other for less than two months." Yan Xi thought for a while, "I think you should think about it."
Seeing Yan Xi's dignified expression, Xie Ning bit the straw, took a sip of the drink slowly, and nodded: "... um."
He recalled it with hindsight, as if he and Zhuang Yan had just known each other for a while.
only two months...
With his indifferent temperament and someone else, two months may not be enough for him to remember the other person's name.
But facing Zhuang Yan, he always had the illusion that he had known him for a long, long time.
The warm and reassuring feeling in Zhuang Yan made him feel less defensive, and he unknowingly let go of his alienating attitude.
He looked hesitant, and the blush on his face didn't go away for a long time. Yan Xi became vigilant in his heart, and asked him and Zhuang Yan bewilderingly.
When asked what time Zhuang Yan had done to him, Xie Ning blushed even more and hesitated for a long time before saying, "He... he kissed me."
Yan Xi: "!!!"
Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.
Yan Xi's face was dark: "He dares to underestimate you?!"
"No, no." Seeing that he was angry, Xie Ning quickly explained, "He didn't underestimate me..."
Yan Xi: "He has already kissed you! Isn't it frivolous!"
Xie Ning retorted subconsciously: "He didn't force me, I also..."
The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and finally the voice was barely audible: "...I'm willing too."
Yan Xi's face was expressionless, and he felt even more angry after hearing this.
Although Xie Ning like this is a little more popular than before, he is no longer an attitude of "it's none of my business".
But... think about it or not.
Yan Xi suddenly understood why those old fathers were sulking when they married their daughters.
Even if the son-in-law is excellent, in the eyes of the old father, there are still all kinds of shortcomings, and he is not worthy of his excellent daughter at all.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and then asked, "What else has he done to you?"
"There is nothing else." Xie Ning quickly shook his head, afraid that Yan Xi would ask the question, he called the waiter, ordered another drink and pushed it in front of Yan Xi.
Yan Xi knew that his tone was probably a little more urgent, so he took a sip of the drink and suppressed the depression in his heart.
After a long while, he said, "Ningning, I don't want to take care of your personal affairs, I'm just... a little worried."
Xie Ning hummed: "I know."
Yan Xi said: "No matter what decision you make, I support it, and I have no position to interfere with your decision."
Xie Ning was stunned.
"Zhuang Yan, I haven't had in-depth contact with him, and I can't comment on it. I know that he must have a very important position in your heart now." Yan Xi said this and laughed at himself, "But you and him The contact time is not long, you may not be able to see what kind of person he is."
Xie Ning subconsciously wanted to refute: "Zhuang Yan he..."
Yan Xi stretched out his finger and stopped him from speaking: "I'm not trying to slander him. It's just that I hope you can think clearly and don't do things that you regret because of impulsiveness."
Xie Ning was silent for a few seconds and said, "Thank you."
Yan Xi smiled: "Why do you need to thank me?"
Shainin just said, "Actually, I know you've been worrying about me all these years... I'm grateful."
Yan Xi raised his eyebrows: "I'm your best friend no matter what, these are what I should do."
The two looked at each other as they spoke, and both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Then they chatted again, Yan Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "You and I asked for the contact information of Dr. Ji before..."
Shainin's hand holding the cup paused.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yan Xi didn't ask him why he asked for a phone number but didn't contact him. He just said, "After the spring break, Dr. Ji will officially open for business, but he is very famous, and many people ask him for consultation. I guess you have to wait in line. two days."
Xie Ning nodded, looking a little dazed.
Yan Xi said softly, "You can make an appointment first, and if you need it, I can also contact you."
"No need!" Xie Ning hurriedly refused, and when he rushed out of his mouth, he realized that his reaction was a little more intense, and pursed his lips, "...I'll get in touch myself."
Yan Xi didn't force him, only said: "Okay."
Yan Xi didn't talk much about the topic of psychiatrists. In just a few words, he found that the resistance in Xie Ning's heart was still very strong.
This is not surprising.
He changed the subject and talked about a newly opened restaurant nearby: "I have a friend who has been to that Sichuan restaurant, and he said that the taste is quite authentic, spicy enough and strong enough, and the recent opening of the restaurant is still discounting. You don't just like to eat it. It's hot and sour, how about going to try that shop together at night?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Ning blinked and refused: "At night... no."
Yan Xi wondered: "What are you doing tonight?"
Xie Ning nodded: "I have an appointment at night."
Yan Xi was keenly aware of something, and asked faintly, "Who did you date?"
Xie Ning shrank his neck and whispered, "I have an appointment... Zhuang Yan."
Yan Xi: "..."
Xie Ning was afraid that he would be angry, and quickly added: "This is an appointment long ago."
Yan Xi murmured: "I never imagined that one day I would be able to experience one day, what it's like to be overestimated by a friend."
Shainin tried his best to defend: "I'm not, I don't."
Yan Xi glanced at him and said with a smile, "I don't blame you, we can make an appointment another day."
Xie Ning felt at a loss for words.
It was enough to chat for an afternoon. Xie Ning had to make an appointment in the evening and left first.
Yan Xi stayed on the seat and rubbed the cup. He thought for a while, and his expression changed and changed.
In the end, he took out his phone, opened the address book, found someone's name, and dialed it.
Yan Xi: "In?"
A lazy voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Rare guest, you actually called me?"
Yan Xi ignored his question and said bluntly: "I remember you have Zhuang Yan's contact information, give me a copy."
The man was silent for a few seconds, and his voice became frivolous: "What? You want to fight for your little Xie Ning baby, and are you going to fight Zhuang Yan?"
"Go away." Yan Xi said irritably, "It's none of your business."
He chuckled: "I only have Zhuang Yan's personal number, so I can't give it to anyone, I'll ask him first."
"Go ask. Just give my name and say that I want to talk to him about something." Yan Xi thought about it, "Or give him my contact information and let him come to me."
"Okay." The man yawned, "I hung up if I had nothing else to do. I was woken up by a phone call while I was still asleep. Remember to invite me to dinner and treat me another day."
Yan Xi: "Okay, the location is up to you."
Ten minutes later, Yan Xi received a text message with Zhuang Yan's contact information.
…
Xie Ning told Yan Xi that he had an appointment with Zhuang Yan at night, and it was really not because he valued sex over friends.
Previously, because of the original film and television painting, Mr. Yang Rui acted as a middleman, contacted them separately and wanted to establish a line, and also arranged to meet and talk after the year.
Later, each of them knew the identity of the other, so there was no need to do more.
But both of them were grateful that Yang Rui had been busy for them for several days, and after summing it up, they decided to invite Mr. Yang to have a meal together.
The time is set for tonight.
Mr. Yang pays attention to health preservation and has a light taste. Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan catered to his taste and ordered an authentic Cantonese-style tea restaurant.
I heard that this restaurant will also give away some Cantonese-style snacks after meals, which should be very popular with Mr. Yang.
Sure enough, Mr. Yang was very happy to eat this meal: "I rarely eat such an authentic Cantonese-style taste. Those shops outside have Cantonese-style signs, but the taste is not authentic at all."
Zhuang Yan was curious: "Mr. Yang has eaten authentic Cantonese cuisine before?"
Yang Rui recalled: "When I was young, I also took over the film and television projects in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. I lived in Hong Kong for a few months and stayed in Guangdong for a while. I didn't remember anything else, but I remember the special morning tea there. Taste."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yan greeted the waiter and served some side dishes: "This store also provides morning tea. If you like it, come here often."
"How can I have this energy now, I'm old." Yang Rui sighed, "Every day I come all the way, and my wife has to talk in my ear for a long time."
Zhuang Yanbian chatted with Yang Rui, and gave Xie Ning some steamed chicken feet in soy sauce.
Xie Ning blinked and whispered, "Thank you."
The meat of the steamed chicken feet in soy sauce is soft and full, and it can be peeled off the bones with a light bite, especially the unique sauce, which makes Xie Ning's eyes light up, and the taste is delicious.
He eats slowly and slowly, which reminds Zhuang Yan of the way the little white rabbit eats in the mobile game.
If nothing else, it's pretty similar.
Mr. Yang looked at them cheerfully, turned his head and said to Zhuang Yan: "I am a student, although I have no experience with the group, but my level is really good, and I can grasp the essence of design, many of which are in our place. People who have worked for many years may not be able to do it.”
Zhuang Yan replied in agreement: "I have seen his works, and they are all very good, which suits my heart very well."
"It's just as you like." Mr. Yang said, "For film and television design, there will always be differences between your director's ideas and our painters' ideas, but as long as everyone has the same understanding of the script, minor differences can be discussed."
Zhuang Yan said a few words along the way, and then gave Xie Ning a meaningful look: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will take good care of him."
Mr. Yang touched his stomach and nodded: "I am relieved with your words."
They chatted vigorously, and Xie Ning only said a few words when he mentioned professional-related matters, and his voice was clear and light.
Later, I just kept my head down to eat and listened to Zhuang Yan and Yang Rui talking about the internal rules of various industries in the domestic film industry.
After dinner, the sky was completely dark. The two put Mr. Yang into the car. When the back of the car disappeared on the street, Zhuang Yan approached Xie Ning and hugged him.
Xie Ning tilted his head to look at him: "... It's still on the street."
Zhuang Yan hugged him and rubbed his head again: "No, I can endure it all night, I just wanted to hug you like this."
Xie Ning blushed slightly and whispered, "Why are you so clingy?"
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "I am so clingy, I not only want to hug you, but also kiss you."
Shainin was taken aback and looked up at him.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yan said so, and didn't really want to do anything.
Xie Ning: "Then think about it."
After holding him for a while, Zhuang Yan was satisfied, just let go of him, and went to hold his hand again.
"Are you hungry, there seem to be a lot of snack bars in this street, let's go shopping?" He wrapped Xie Ning's hand and made a gesture of interlocking his fingers.
Xie Ning was dumbfounded: "Didn't we just finish dinner?"
Zhuang Yan said, "You haven't eaten much at all, right?"
Xie Ning: "..." How could he remember that he seemed to have been eating just now.
Zhuang Yan said solemnly, "Cantonese-style dishes are too bland and not to your liking. I'll take you to eat some heavy flavors."
Xie Ning said, "But I'm not hungry yet."
Zhuang Yan thought for a while: "Then go around for a while now, and when you're hungry, I'll take you to dinner."
The two walked side by side, he shook Xie Ning's hand back and forth, and asked, "What do you want for supper? Barbecue? Skewers? Crayfish? Grilled fish? I remember there was a small square in front of me, and at night There are all kinds of food stalls.”
Xie Ning was moved by what he said, and subconsciously swallowed: "All, all."
Zhuang Yan chuckled lightly: "That's ok, all your time tonight is mine."
It was only then that Xie Ning found out that he seemed to have been abducted by Zhuang Yan unknowingly.
The author has something to say: Yan Xi: Have dinner together at night
Ningning: ... I made an appointment with Zhuang Yan.
Zhuangzhuang: Let's go, I'll take you to dinner.
Ningning: (unconsciously) Good.
Yan Xi: ? ? ? ?
