Qin Shaocheng stood where he was, his frowning filled him with a sense of oppression.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to ask you to borrow money this time. Don't look so fierce." Jiang Yishan smiled: "The pork ribs and chicken soup are all cooked, and there are egg dumplings in the pot. I bought stewed vegetables Beef. Veggie what do you want besides broccoli?"

His expression was calm and gentle, acting as close as if the two were still together.

Qin Shaocheng felt a little disgusted.

Seeing Qin Shaocheng's expression, Jiang Yishan smiled disappointedly: "You hate me so much that you can't even eat a meal?"

Here it comes again, he is trying to irritate himself by showing weakness again, Qin Shaocheng thought to himself. It's been five years since they broke up, and they haven't seen each other for four years apart from the entanglements of the first year of breaking up. And on New Year's Eve of the fourth year, Jiang Yishan deliberately cooked his favorite food, and then came back innocently speaking.

Deliberately annoyed him by not changing the door lock. After breaking up for four years, they did not change the rented house or the door locks. The idea that the lover could turn back was seen through, which made people angry from embarrassment.

Then came the textbook show of weakness.

Talk about today's New Year's Eve, say that I have no money, and leave after eating the last meal.

And he was like the prey caught in the hunter's trap, and he took the bait as soon as the bait appeared. I went to the study to check his news, and when I saw the photo, I went to the kitchen to hear how bad he was.

— all under the control of the opponent.

Qin Shaocheng looked at Jiang Yishan, and he found that this beautiful young man had never changed, he was still rational and shrewd as before, and he could measure every detail of his feelings.

Qin Shaocheng turned and walked out of the kitchen. He knew how to face Jiang Yishan, be a little more indifferent, and stop being led by the nose by the other party. As he was thinking this way, the image of Jiang Yishan's thin shoulders and shaking eyelashes flashed before his eyes.

Qin Shaocheng regretted it.

He should have left the room the first time he saw Jiang Yishan.

Jiang Yishan cooked the New Year's Eve dinner alone in the kitchen.

They rented this room together, and they arranged everything in the room together, and everything is a carrier of a memory. In this environment, Qin Shaocheng sat on the sofa in the living room, he felt that the sound of cooking in the kitchen was more harsh than the TV right in front of him.

"Okay, let's serve dinner." Jiang Yishan appeared next to him at some point, and he brought the dishes to the coffee table. At the beginning, because there was not enough space, I didn’t buy a dining table. Jiang Yishan used to like to sit on the carpet and eat takeaway.

Qin Shaocheng went to the kitchen to wash his hands and serve the bowl, and when he came back, Jiang Yishan unscrewed the wine bottle.

"Either?" Jiang Yishan poured Qin Shaocheng a small cup: "Have a drink, just one."

The hot dishes on the table are emitting heat, and the TV on the wall is playing laughter and laughter. Jiang Yishan raised his wine glass, touched it on the table and said, "Happy New Year's Eve."

Qin Shaocheng didn't hold the wine glass. Jiang Yishan didn't care, and drank the wine in the glass.

When eating vegetables, Jiang Yishan deliberately chewed for a while before saying: "It's not as delicious as before, and the hands are raw."

Qin Shaocheng lowered his head to eat.

"Have you tried fried pork with fungus? This level is the closest to before."

No one responded to him.

"Then don't eat." He drank another glass.

This year the city bans smoking. If it weren't for the Spring Festival Gala on TV, no one would know that they were having a New Year's Eve dinner quietly around the tea table. Qin Shaocheng ate very fast, and put down the bowls and chopsticks after a while.

Jiang Yishan looked at the bottom of his empty bowl and asked, "Shall I serve you a bowl of preserved egg porridge?"

Qin Shaocheng got up to clean up the dishes. Jiang Yishan leaned lazily on the sofa. It wasn't until Qin Shaocheng entered the kitchen that he looked away and sighed faintly: "Ignore me."

The Spring Festival Gala program is not good at all, and the choreography is also scumbag. Jiang Yishan drank while complaining. Drinking with the boss and investors every day these years, I have already practiced drinking. In fact, he hates drinking. It was because of a glass of mixed liquor that ruined his singing voice.

How well he used to sing. Jiang Yishan couldn't help but put down his wine glass and hummed a few times along with the music on the TV. When he entered the chorus, his voice was no longer as ethereal and clean as before. Jiang Yishan laughed only after singing a few lines: "Pfft."

He drank another glass and said to himself: "It's like broken cymbals, it's really ugly."

Jiang Yishan sat on the carpet for an hour, while Qin Shaosheng washed the dishes in the kitchen for an hour.

After drinking the wine in the bottle, Jiang Yishan lay on the corner of the sofa, waiting for Qin Shaocheng to come out and drive him away. He wanted Qin Shaocheng to talk to him, even if the other party got angry and scolded him.

He missed him, and he knew he was wrong.

But Qin Shaocheng ignored him. Qin Shaocheng seemed to have never seen him at all. After washing the dishes, he came out to pack the clothes on the balcony, and then went to take a shower. Jiang Yishan got up from the carpet, staggered to the bathroom door and knocked.

"I want to go to the bathroom."

There is no dry and wet separation in this old house. Even the bathroom is small. When Jiang Yishan wanted to put the bathtub in it, there was almost no room for the toilet. The door was opened, and Qin Shaocheng stood at the door covered in steam.

Jiang Yishan lowered his head and chuckled: "I lied to you, but the fact is that I can't see you, it's boring."

Qin Shaocheng frowned again.

He finally reacted. Jiang Yishan hugged Qin Shaocheng's waist, feeling his body temperature and breath, and said softly, "Shall we watch TV together?"

Qin Shaocheng pulled his hand away forcefully: "Don't pretend to be drunk."

"I'm not drunk. I can drink very well now." Jiang Yishan straightened his body and was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Qin Shaocheng, "Will you watch the New Year with me?"

Qin Shaocheng ignored him.

"Can you talk to me?" Jiang Yishan followed behind him, "Shao Sheng, don't ignore me."

There was a soft sound. Jiang Yishan was blocked from the bedroom door.

The world is finally quiet.

Qin Shaocheng sat by the bed and turned on his phone, replying the New Year's greeting text messages one by one. The employees in the company were booing and asking him for a New Year's red envelope, and Qin Shaocheng sent it out very readily. Wei Feng called within a minute, and the first thing he said was to question: "Jiang Yishan is at your house?!"

"how do you know?"

"He posted the photo on Weibo." Wei Feng sounded quite angry, "Are you crazy? You still ignored him?! Have you forgotten what he did back then?"

Qin Shaocheng's head hurt again, he rubbed his forehead: "He came by himself."

Wei Feng scolded: "It's so damn haunting."

"Don't talk about this during the Chinese New Year."

Hearing what Qin Shaocheng said, Wei Feng muttered bad luck and stopped talking. The two ended the call after saying some congratulatory words to each other on the mobile phone.

Qin Shaocheng leaned against the head of the bed and opened Jiang Yishan's Weibo.

The latest Weibo is just a photo. Above is the New Year's Eve dinner just now. People who are familiar with the coffee table and carpet in the background can tell it is Qin Shaocheng's house. Pull down the comments, there are all kinds of messes, and the sentence "I finally laughed out of relief after seeing you scolding people so badly during the New Year's Eve" topped the list of hot comments.

Has his reputation gotten so bad

Qin Shaocheng threw away his phone and lay on the bed, recalling that he asked Jiang Yishan why when they broke up.

Jiang Yishan said calmly that he wanted to be popular, he couldn't bear the satisfaction of being a star and being praised by everyone, he said he was vain, and he couldn't stand being accused of being gay. He said that he can temporarily give up everything in order to continue to be his star.

Yes, it was this "temporary abandonment" that prevented Qin Shaocheng from completely giving up. On the contrary, he was still entangled after the breakup, and was bewitched by Jiang Yishan to be his underground lover for a whole year.

Come and go when you call.
