Looking at Jiang Yuduo's careful and serious expression, Cheng Ke really didn't know if it was necessary to communicate with him any more.
"For what?" Jiang Yuduo asked again.
"Give the rent." Cheng Ke said angrily, bowing his head and continuing to eat noodles.
"It's not time yet," Jiang Yuduo said, "I just didn't understand your words, so I'm angry? Are you a little too angry?"
"GAY," Cheng Ke swallowed the noodles, hesitated for a moment, and wrote on the table with his fingers, "GA..."
"Is it an English word?" Jiang Yuduo suddenly realized, and said while digging in his pocket, "Why can't I understand what I said."
He took out a pen and a piece of cut cigarette paper and put it in front of Cheng Ke.
Cheng Ke glanced at him, took the pen and wrote these three letters, and then pushed the cigarette case paper in front of Jiang Yuduo.
"How to fight?" Jiang Yuduo picked it up and looked at it, "Brother, do you give it?"
Cheng Ke lay on the table: "Just give it."
"What does this word mean?" Jiang Yuduo asked.
Cheng Ke didn't speak and closed his eyes.
Jiang Yuduo didn't ask any more questions. After a while, there was no sound. Cheng Ke opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yuduo frowning and looking at his phone.
Probably looking up the meaning of the word, he sighed, sat down and continued to eat noodles.
"Understood," Jiang Yuduo said, "a gay bar, right? Lin Xu asked you to go there, so he is gay too."
"Well." Cheng Ke nodded.
"Oh." Jiang Yuduo also nodded, then put down the phone, "How come everyone knows you're gay?"
"I didn't hide it," Cheng Ke said, "I'll definitely know it after a long time."
"Oh." Jiang Yuduo responded, frowning after thinking about it, "Then does Lin Xu want to chase you? Just like a normal man chasing a woman or a woman chasing a man."
"No," Cheng Ke ate the last bit of noodles and soup, and wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I just want to make friends, but it may not happen in the future."
"Understood." Jiang Yuduo said.
Cheng Ke glanced at him, wondering what he was thinking about with a thoughtful look on his face.
The next day was still shooting a video. It was no different from the previous day. Jiang Yuduo was still sitting on the small sofa in the corner, watching with a cup of tea.
There is one person today, who didn't come yesterday, and those who came yesterday are all here today. This is extra. Jiang Yuduo stared at it for a long time, but he didn't find any specific work for him.
When Xu Ding sat next to him to rest, he asked, "Is there more people today than yesterday?"
"Well," Xu Ding smiled, "a friend of mine came over and wanted to discuss cooperation with Cheng Ke."
"...Oh." Jiang Yuduo did not continue to ask.
Anyway, no matter what kind of cooperation, he couldn't understand.
The filming ended earlier today, and it was over just after lunch, but Cheng Ke never left. We chatted with Xu Ding and that friend for two or three hours.
When Jiang Yuduo went to the toilet halfway, Cheng Ke followed.
"It will take a while," Cheng Ke said, "do you want someone to take you back first?"
"No, it's too troublesome, make a special trip," Jiang Yuduo said, "you say yours, don't worry about me."
"Boring?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Well," Jiang Yuduo smiled, "I'm bored every day, I don't feel anything."
"You can go upstairs and have a look," Cheng Ke said in a low voice, "there is a room upstairs, and there are collections in it..."
"What?" Jiang Yuduo also asked in a low voice.
"All kinds of love, sex toys." Cheng Ke said.
"What sex toys?" Jiang Yuduo was stunned for a while, but after two seconds he reacted, "Fuck me? Who else collects these things?"
"It's not the kind you can usually buy in the store," Cheng Ke cleared his throat, "If you're bored, you can watch the solution to relieve boredom. That room is usually not open. Today, as long as Xu Ding is with us, you can enter. "
"Have you seen it?" Jiang Yuduo asked.
"No," Cheng Ke said, "I don't have time to watch it yet."
Jiang Yuduo hesitated for a moment, and asked in a very low voice, "Do you want me to take some pictures for you to see?"
Cheng Ke glanced at him, endured it for a long time and finally laughed without restraint. He leaned against the wall for a long time and said, "No, I'm just afraid that you will be bored, so I can help you find some fun."
"Well." Jiang Yuduo smiled.
"Then I'll go in," Cheng Ke glanced at the people sitting in the room, "the chat was over in about half an hour."
"Okay, I..." Jiang Yuduo looked towards the stairs, "I'll go up and have a look later."
Cheng Ke turned around and entered the house.
After Jiang Yuduo came out of the toilet, he hesitated for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, he went up the stairs.
He has been sitting on the sofa for the past two days, and it has almost merged with the background of the hall where the video was shot. Several times when a staff member came over, he suddenly saw him sitting there when he was in front of him, and he would be scared. One hop.
It feels very good and safe.
So this is Jiang Yuduo's first visit to the small halls of this private museum.
But after he looked at the exhibition halls one by one, he suddenly understood why Cheng Ke let him see those sex toys. Probably Cheng Ke also knew that he couldn't understand these things in other rooms.
For him, a painting is a painting, a bottle is a bottle, a plate is a plate, a lump of iron is a lump of iron...
He stood at the door of the house, stunned for a long time, and finally did not go in, turned and lay on the railing of the corridor.
There is a small ashtray hanging on the railing. According to the observation of the past two days, this means that smoking is allowed here. He touched a cigarette and lit it.
Sometimes he would wonder if it was a bit sloppy for him to regard Cheng Ke as a friend.
For the first time in so many years, when he only knew a person for a few months and didn't even know him, he regarded this person as his friend.
He didn't even know if someone like Cheng Ke would treat him as a friend, or if he could accept such a friend.
The more contact with Cheng Ke, the more he feels that such a friend is destined to disappear. He may be bored and dull for too long. Cheng Ke is like a little light, he stares at this. When it's a little brighter, you can't see the gray around you. Once the light disappears, the original gray will turn into black, and it will take a long time for it to lighten.
It's just that it's too late to retreat now, no matter what Cheng Ke thinks, he has to guard.
A friend can disappear, but a friend cannot disappear because of him.
There were voices coming from downstairs, it should be Cheng Ke and the others who had come out after chatting.
Jiang Yuduo pinched off the cigarette, and was about to go downstairs when a figure flashed past the window on the first floor, which was diagonally facing the corridor.
He turned sharply, staring at the window.
Outside the window is the parking lot, where everyone's cars are parked and can be seen through the window, but now he can only see the snow covered by the car, and a few small black and yellow bare ground.
Cheng Ke took out his mobile phone and was about to call Jiang Yuduo when he saw him coming down from the second floor.
In a room of erotic collectibles, this kid actually watched it for almost 40 minutes... As expected of a person on the street.
But when Jiang Yuduo came over, he found that Jiang Yuduo's face was not very good.
Others might not be able to see it, but he could see it clearly. Jiang Yuduo was a little nervous. After pulling the corners of his mouth at him and Xu Ding and smiling, he kept staring at the window on the right.
Cheng Ke followed his gaze and saw nothing except a few cars parked outside the window.
"If you say you don't want to eat, then you won't eat," Xu Ding looked at his watch, "I asked the driver to take you and the third brother back?"
"Well." Cheng Ke nodded.
"I'll come back from a business trip in two days, so let's find a time to visit the store." Liang Yi said.
Liang Yi is a friend of Xu Ding. The sand painting-themed restaurant that Xu Ding mentioned before was built with him. However, Liang Yi only pays and does not participate in the management.
"Okay," Xu Ding said, "I will handle the rest with Xiao Ke."
A few people went to the parking lot together. When they passed the outside of the window, Cheng Ke took a special look and saw nothing unusual, and there was no one in the parking lot.
He even glanced at the base of the wall under the window, only to see a layer of snow, not even the footprints of wild cats and dogs.
Xu Ding drove him and Jiang Yuduo back. After getting in the car, Jiang Yuduo was still a little nervous and looked back twice.
After leaving the suburbs and returning to the busy street, he seemed to relax, and he didn't speak all the way, but he didn't look like he was in a daze with nothing to say.
Back downstairs, after Xu Ding's car drove away, Jiang Yuduo finally said, "Did you see something?"
"Huh?" Cheng Ke was stunned.
"The people in the parking lot." Jiang Yuduo said.
"No." Cheng Ke replied, he guessed right, that's what Jiang Yuduo was nervous about.
His answer made Jiang Yuduo frown: "Really?"
"Really not," Cheng Ke said softly, "only that window can see the parking lot. If there are people there, there will be footprints, right?"
Jiang Yuduo looked at him and did not speak.
"From the wall of the window to the parking line, there are not even footprints," Cheng Ke said, "I specifically watched it."
Jiang Yuduo was silent for a long time, staring at him with complicated eyes, Cheng Ke couldn't even judge any emotion in his eyes.
"You didn't see anything," Jiang Yuduo also said softly, "Why did you specifically look for footprints?"
Cheng Ke sighed: "You looked there when you came downstairs. I thought you saw something, so I took a special look when you went to the parking lot."
"But you didn't tell me." Jiang Yuduo frowned.
"What can I say?" Cheng Ke asked.
This time, he could clearly see the emotion in Jiang Yuduo's eyes, and he was full of discomfort.
He had never seen such a look in his eyes, and he could clearly feel the pain of this person in an instant.
When Jiang Yuduo spoke again, his voice was low and a little hoarse: "Cheng Ke."
"Huh?" Cheng Ke responded.
"You don't believe me." Jiang Yuduo said.
Cheng Ke was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"You don't believe me," Jiang Yuduo repeated softly, "do you?"
"I don't know what I should... believe," Cheng Ke replied with a bit of difficulty. Jiang Yuduo like this made him faintly scared, but it made him feel distressed. He wanted to hug Jiang Yuduo and pat him more. He was back, but he didn't dare, so he could only rub his arm through the coat, "I don't know what happened."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yuduo said.
Dinner is still a problem. The empty refrigerator seems to be wasting electricity. After Jiang Yuduo swept away the eggs and ham yesterday, he can really unplug the power and use it as a cabinet.
"Takeaway?" Cheng Ke picked up his phone.
Jiang Yuduo didn't speak, looking a little hesitant.
"Okay, takeout is boring, or...let's order a few dishes," Cheng Ke said. "Usually I'm alone, so it's boring to order one dish, but I order two more dishes..."
"Okay." Jiang Yuduo nodded.
Cheng Ke studied for a while, and ordered a big bone soup, a steamed pork, and a sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Enough?" he asked Jiang Yuduo.
"You..." Jiang Yuduo looked at him, "how did you stay in shape?"
"Huh?" Cheng Ke was stunned.
"Two dishes and one soup, they're all pure meat, not even a single bite of vegetarian food?" Jiang Yuduo sighed, "No wonder I'm going to the gym."
"Fuck off," Cheng Ke smiled, "I just like to eat meat. If you want to be vegetarian, you can buy fruit."
"Where's the fruit?" Jiang Yuduo said.
"Go buy it tomorrow." Cheng Ke said.
The whole meat dishes were delivered soon. Cheng Ke was a little tired talking to Xu Ding and the others today. He hadn't used his brain like this for a long time. When he smelled the meat, he wanted to rush up to make two dishes and one soup. They all grabbed one to eat.
Jiang Yuduo was still the same as usual, eating very seriously, not letting or robbing.
"Aren't you hungry?" Cheng Ke asked while eating.
"I didn't do anything this day," Jiang Yuduo said. "I just sat there and didn't consume anything."
Cheng Ke sighed: "I really admire you, let me be like that all day..."
Before the words were finished, there was a sudden explosion from downstairs, and Cheng Ke shuddered in fright, followed by another sound.
The cars parked downstairs all screamed, beeping and beeping.
"Fuck!" When he realized that someone was setting off firecrackers, Jiang Yuduo had already stood by the window and was looking down.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Yuduo. After waiting for a while, he saw that Jiang Yuduo didn't mean to come back to continue eating, and then he said, "It's a child setting off firecrackers, it's almost New Year's Eve."
"Well, I know." Jiang Yuduo said, but still stood still.
Cheng Ke ignored him and continued to eat with his head down.
After the bowl of rice was exhausted, Jiang Yuduo returned to the table.
After eating, Cheng Ke wanted to find a movie to watch, not a horror movie, but Jiang Yuduo didn't say a word for almost an hour after he finished eating.
There should be no nervousness, but be alert.
Cheng Ke didn't know how to make him relax, and he felt that there was no way to make him relax.
Lying on the sofa just felt a little depressed.
Not knowing what to do is the most frustrating state.
After being stunned for an unknown time, he felt that the cat lying on his lap was almost rubbed off by him, so he turned on the projector, poked a random movie and started watching.
This is a love movie, Cheng Ke didn't watch it at all except knowing that the two were in love.
When the movie was about to end, his phone rang.
There is news coming in.
The ringtone made him suddenly feel breathless, and he took out his phone and looked at it.
The news was sent by Lin Xu.
- Brother Cheng, are you free tonight
Cheng Ke looked at the message and did not reply immediately.
are you free tonight? available.
But in fact, he didn't really want to go out, but the depressed and depressed mood at the moment made him very uncomfortable.
He didn't make a decision until the phone's screen went black, he just held the phone and turned it around.
Finally, he turned on his phone again, poked a few times, and clicked into Lin Xu's circle of friends.
Lin Xu's circle of friends didn't post much, most of them were photos, but he didn't have a single private photo in his imagination. They were all work photos, and they were all taken casually during the work process.
It somehow made him feel a little better.
After staring at the photo on Lin Xu's profile picture for a while, he sent Lin Xu a message back.
-where
Lin Xu replied quickly, still "give it" that day.
Cheng Ke thought for a while and asked again.
-Who else
- i drink alone
-Fine
After Cheng Ke returned, he put his mobile phone on the coffee table and turned to look at Jiang Yuduo who was reading the novel.
"Huh?" Jiang Yuduo looked up at him.
"I'm going out," Cheng Ke said, "a friend made an appointment for a drink."
Jiang Yuduo was stunned for a while, then glanced at the time on the phone subconsciously, and then replied, "Oh."
Cheng Ke didn't say anything else, got up and put on his coat.
When he was ready to go out, he found that Jiang Yuduo had been looking at him in confusion, so he thought about it and walked to Jiang Yuduo: "pen and paper."
Jiang Yuduo took out the pen and cigarette case paper from his pocket and handed it to him, on which he wrote the name of the bar.
"I'll go here," he said.
Jiang Yuduo took the cigarette paper and looked at it. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
He didn't want Jiang Yuduo to worry too much, but from his own point of view, he really couldn't find any reason to tell Jiang Yuduo his destination, so in the end he had to say nothing.
A car drove in front of Jiang Yuduo, and Chen Qing stuck his head out: "Third brother."
"Have you gone home already?" Jiang Yuduo opened the door and sat in the co-pilot.
"Well, it's fine at home," Chen Qing turned the car around, "Where to go?"
"A bar called something similar." Jiang Yuduo told Chen Qing the address.
"It's quite far," Chen Qing said. "Jaeger-LeCoultre can play quite a bit. If I go to the bar now, I'll definitely pick one that's close."
I probably didn't give this piece, bro, give it, probably not... Jiang Yuduo recalled, GAY, these three letters also mean happiness.
What is the joy of being gay, finding a boyfriend and girlfriend is more difficult than others.
After driving for a while, Chen Qing looked at the rearview mirror: "Third brother, the car behind..."
"I know." Jiang Yuduo said.
The car at the back came out of their community, and it has been behind it. It has followed almost three streets now.
"I've turned a corner." Chen Qing said again.
"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded.
After the car pulled away, no other car followed.
But Jiang Yuduo didn't feel safe. After all, their goal now is not only themselves, but also Cheng Ke.
According to the navigation prompt, they had reached the street where the bar was located, and Jiang Yuduo looked out of the car window.
The bar streets in this world are all similar in appearance. There are all kinds of neon lights everywhere in the dark, no matter how many neon lights are not illuminated on the streets, the music changes every ten meters, and we cry and cry when we are happy, and weep when we are sad. Shouting again, in this kind of place, the expression of emotions becomes monotonous and hysterical.
"Going forward, it should be almost the same," Chen Qing looked outside. "These are all dazzling, third brother, you should also look at them."
"What is the same?" Jiang Yuduo looked at him.
"Bar, isn't it almost the same?" Chen Qing thought for a while, "Oh, it seems to be two words..."
"Similar." Jiang Yuduo pinched his eyebrows.
"Yes, similar... it's that one!" Chen Qing pointed to the front.
Jiang Yuduo looked in the direction he pointed, a large sign, and at a glance, you could see a large piece of silver, with black hollows in the middle of the silver, and two simple black characters.
"Yes," Jiang Yuduo nodded, "find a place to park."
Chen Qing drove the car slowly, and drove about 20 meters forward, and a car just drove away.
"It's there, it's there," Chen Qing hurriedly gave a direction and drove a car in front of him. It looked like he was about to grab it. Chen Qing immediately took the accelerator and grabbed half of the body. Cursing and reversing the car, "Fuck you uncle! It's still tender to want to grab a seat with your uncle! Stupid! Let's see how your uncle parked!"
Jiang Yuduo slapped him on the arm: "Give you ten seconds, if you don't stop slapping him, shut up!"
Chen Qing closed his mouth.
After parking in the parking space, the car passed in front of them, and the driver turned to stare at them with a defiant expression.
"Come on, hey." Chen Qing opened the door and got out of the car.
Jiang Yuduo sighed, like Chen Qing, if you go down to ten, no one will take a second look.
He opened the door and got out of the car, walked slowly to the front of the car, and stared at the man.
After the man stared at him for two seconds, he withdrew his gaze and the car continued to drive forward.
"My name is fox fake tiger power, right." Chen Qing said.
"I'm looking for my brain now." Jiang Yuduo got back into the car.
"Aren't you going in?" Chen Qing was stunned, "Sit here?"
"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded, bowing his head and lighting a cigarette.
"No, what should happen to Jaeger-LeCoultre," Chen Qing said at a loss, "We can't help you here."
"I'm afraid I'll run into him when I go in," Jiang Yuduo said, "I don't want him to know that he's out for a drink and I'm still following him."
"You're protecting him, so you can't let him know?" Chen Qing frowned, "Besides, we often go to bars, but we can't go in for a drink? There are so many people, how many people can be like you? You can recognize people at a glance from a bunch of people.”
"...Do you know what kind of bar this is?" Jiang Yuduo sighed.
"Isn't a bar just a bar?" Chen Qing looked at him.
"This is a give." Jiang Yuduo said.
"For whom?" Chen Qing was stunned.
Jiang Yuduo didn't speak, staring at the door of the bar. There were about seven or eight people who entered at the moment, all of them were men, and it was estimated that all of them were men... If he and Chen Qing went in, it would not be too noticeable .
And just like Chen Qing said, sitting here, if something really happened to Cheng Ke, it might be too late when they noticed the movement.
"For whom?" Chen Qing asked again.
"Okay," Jiang Yuduo gritted his teeth and pushed open the car door, "Go in."
