Chu Jin and the others came back one after another, holding several plates of fruit in their hands. When they saw me carrying my bags and leaving, they hurriedly said, "What's going on? Boss Liang, are you bullying me? I've already picked up my bags." Now, is this the way to go?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment: "Ah, my friend is still waiting for me. Anyway, I have almost eaten, so I will go back first."
Chu Jin and Director Qin turned their attention to Liang Sheng's face, and Liang Sheng spread his hands with an innocent look.
"What kind of friends are more important than my brothers?" Chu Jin pulled Xuanxuan to sit beside him and asked Xuanxuan casually, "Does Xuanxuan know who Ana Shen has made an appointment with?"
Xuanxuan glanced at me and said, "Is he the good friend who called you?"
Xuanxuan was of course referring to Wang Xiaodan. When Wang Xiaodan and I were on the phone, Xuanxuan was standing next to us and almost heard us. But several people sitting here seemed to have misunderstood, especially Liang Sheng. He tilted his head and asked me, "Did she call you?"
I nodded nervously: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Chu Jin interrupted: "Boss Liang has already warned them not to harass you, why do they still dare to call you!"
I was so ashamed that it took me a long time to realize that they all thought that the 'good friend' in Xuanxuan's mouth was Yuan Yushan. I shook my hand awkwardly, "It's not her, it's not her." Then I thought about it, but it was wrong again. How did Chu Jin know Liang Sheng? Warned Yuan Yushan and the others.
I turned to look directly at Liang Sheng, "Have you told them everything about our meal?"
Liang Sheng warned Yuan Yushan and Liu Nanhao that it happened in the restaurant where we dined at the beach. He and I were the only two people at the time. If he didn't tell Chu Jin, how could they know.
Liang Sheng was noncommittal, "No?"
The way he looked at me was clearly saying, is it necessary to hide our dinner from them
"Yes!" I answered deliberately.
Then he explained to Chu Jin and the others again: "Don't worry, it's not Yuan Yushan, it's Wang Xiaodan. Director Qin knows it." I glanced at Director Qin, who also nodded, but he said: "Since it's Wang Xiaodan, let's call him over. Once you’ve finished eating, if you have more people, you’ll have more pairs of chopsticks, and it’ll be more lively.”
As soon as Director Qin said it, Chu Jin echoed it, and I suddenly felt guilty. To be honest, I had personal relationships with Liang Sheng and the others several times, but I never told Wang Xiaodan once. If Wang Xiaodan knew about my private relationship with Liang Sheng, If I'm so good, she will definitely be angry and think I'm not a friend enough, even hiding this from her.
In fact, I didn't deliberately hide anything from her at first, but I just felt there was no need to say anything. I didn't think there would be any intersection with Liang Sheng. Who could have imagined that the relationship would evolve to what it is now. Since I didn't confess at the beginning, now, even with a sincere heart, Wang Xiaodan will feel that I deliberately concealed it from her.
"No." I refused with a guilty conscience, "She and I still have something to do. Let's get together next time."
Then he told Xuanxuan, "Then please Xuanxuan have a chat with these gentlemen."
Xuanxuan nodded happily, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
Just when I opened the box door and was about to go out, Liang Sheng suddenly stood up and said softly: "I'll see you off."
I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head: "No, I'll just take a taxi back. Thank you."
I stood outside the box door to calm down, and did not leave immediately. I only heard Chu Jin in the box still coaxing Xuanxuan: "Let's just make an agreement like this. Xuanxuan will come to be my assistant. I will definitely be better than Liang." It’s always better for you.”
Xuanxuan replied without hesitation: "No, I will stay with Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang, please tell Xuanxuan that I don't want to go to Mr. Chu's place."
I didn't hear Liang Sheng's response, so I stood for a while and then left. In fact, I urgently want to leave here, not because I am anxious to find Wang Xiaodan, but because the terrible thought of liking Liang Sheng makes me unable to breathe. I dare not look into Liang Sheng’s eyes or face him, because I am afraid of staying longer. After a while, all these messy little thoughts were seen through. I think it's better not to meet Liang Sheng until I sort out my little emotions.
I took the car all the way home. Before coming to Yuansheng, I had been sharing a small apartment with Yuan Yushan. After my relationship with Yuan Yushan broke up, I moved to Wang Xiaodan's place. In name, I now share the apartment with Wang Xiaodan. In fact, I have never paid any bills. Paying rent is equivalent to living here on loan. In the past, when we had a good relationship, I didn't feel anything wrong sleeping on the same bed. Now I don't know when the estrangement developed. I always feel uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed again, although many times, Wang Xiaodan stays up all night.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wang Xiaodan kneeling by the coffee table, drinking wine. There were several empty wine bottles on the coffee table, and a few were poured on the floor. The room smelled of cigarettes and was smoky. I immediately changed my shoes. Xiao ran up to Wang Xiaodan and squatted down, frowning and asked: "Did something happen? Why did you drink so much?"
Wang Xiaodan asked with drunken eyes: "Shen Yan, do you care about me or criticize me?"
To be honest, I am a bit mysophobic and hate the smell of cigarettes. I did feel a little uncomfortable when I saw this scene when I got home. But Wang Xiaodan is my friend after all. I understand her. If nothing happened, she would not become like this. so.
I answered without hesitation: "Of course I care about you. Please tell me what happened."
Wang Xiaodan shook her head, smiled bitterly, picked up the bottle and took another sip of wine. The beer slid down her chin and onto her chest, and her clothes were all wet. She said: "What can happen to me is nothing that has happened. Ana Shen, if you still treat me as a friend, can you do me a favor?"
I looked at her and said with some distress, "You tell me what you are busy with."
"You should be the chief makeup artist for this movie." Wang Xiaodan's eyes were a little hollow, as if he had lost focus. Before I could say anything, she continued: "I don't want to be a makeup artist anymore. I'm so tired. I'm really tired!"
