The two of them hung the clothes they brought in the closet, and went downstairs to the kitchen together. The person who looked after the house left a lot of ingredients, but Xu Luoyang looked at it blankly. He counted with his fingers, "I can combine tomatoes and eggs, I can also cook porridge, and I can cook with a rice cooker!"
With such a number, you seem to know quite a lot
Seeing Xu Luoyang's proud expression, Qi Changan rubbed his hair, "Then eat tomatoes and eggs, I'll wash the tomatoes for you."
Half an hour later, when the food was served, Xu Luoyang gave Qi Changan the chopsticks. Seeing him smiling while looking at the dishes on the plate, he was curious, "Why are you smiling so happily?"
"I remembered that when I first met you in Qinli Town, you also cooked these two dishes. I was waiting outside the kitchen at that time, and thought seriously about how to praise you."
Xu Luoyang looked away embarrassedly, "To be honest, I scrambled eggs five times and threw them in the trash without you finding out."
"Actually, I found out. I saw it when I was washing the dishes, but I decided to pretend I didn't see it."
His eyes widened slightly, and Xu Luoyang immediately put his face on the table and wailed, "I really don't want to know the truth at all!"
I also want to face!
After lunch, the two went out for a walk together. The weather in April was very good and the breeze was mild. Xu Luoyang didn't want to get up when he lay down on the grass, and tried his best to pull Qi Changan to lie down and spend time together.
He picked a light purple wild flower and gave it to Qi Changan, Xu Luoyang squinted his eyes in the sun, "I just remembered, when my mother used to be a girl, she encouraged my dad to come here every day to buy a castle. , is like this, the surrounding area is open, with mountains, lakes and grasslands. In order to let me support her and pass this family resolution, she came to persuade me specially, saying that if our family lived in the castle, then she would be the queen, I could be a prince, I was just in the second grade of elementary school."
"and then?"
"Then my dad, the wife-loving demon, really brought my mother over to see the castle, but it was too expensive. The two of them finally bought a model of the castle, and they needed to stitch them together manually."
Qi Changan propped his head with his right hand, lay on his side, and shielded Xu Luoyang from the slightly dazzling sunlight with his left hand, "Are they disappointed?"
"Not at all. As soon as my mother came back, she hugged me and faked crying, crying and saying, 'The trouble in this palace, my mother can't make you a prince, so, turn grief and anger into strength, and make a model of this castle. Let's spell it!'" After speaking, Xu Luoyang curled his lips, "The castle model is very complicated, but I was too good at that time, so I really did it seriously, and it took half the summer vacation to complete it!"
He concluded, "This is the pain of growth!"
Qi Changan looked at him deeply for a while, then leaned down to kiss the end of his curved eyes, his voice was very soft, "Noisy."
"Um?"
"Do you want to know... about my family?"
There was silence between the two, except for the sound of the wind blowing.
Xu Luoyang blinked. After getting along for so long, he could already sense that Qi Changan was very secretive about this topic, so although he would talk about his parents from time to time, he never took the initiative to ask Qi Changan.
Now that Qi Changan suddenly said this, Xu Luoyang hesitated, "Can I ask?"
It would be a lie to say that he is not curious. He sometimes feels uneasy. What if Chang'an's relatives don't like him and throw a huge check worth 500 million in front of him and let him leave Qi Chang'an
"Of course." When Qi Changan answered these four words, his throat was slightly dry. He took a deep breath and continued, "You can ask me anything you want to know."
Since the last time Xu Luoyang asked him "Why do you want him so much, but pretend you don't want him", Qi Changan has noticed that, perhaps subconsciously, Xu Luoyang has never mentioned this matter again. The two would still hug each other to sleep every night, and exchange a good-morning kiss when they woke up, no different from before.
But Qi Changan knew that he couldn't rely on the connivance of the other party all the time. Although Xu Luoyang showed that he didn't care and didn't care about it, he would definitely think wildly and be sad.
This is his problem, he has to try to take the first step.
Noticing Qi Changan's unsteady breathing, Xu Luoyang put his tone lightly and tentatively asked the basic question, "Then Chang'an, do you... have any relatives?"
"Yes, I have a brother named Qi Changyin."
Qi Changyin? Feeling that the name sounded familiar, Xu Luoyang didn't think much about it and continued to ask, "He is in China now?"
"No, he's been in Montreal the whole time, and he won't come here except for work needs." Qi Changan relaxed a little, but the next second, he heard Xu Luoyang ask, "What about your parents?"
parents.
As if the lead was ignited by sparks, the moment he heard these two words, Qi Changan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and there seemed to be a bloody color in front of his eyes. There was a steady stream of blood spreading from the ground, and it quickly filled his eyes. The instep, as if to drown him.
At this moment, in Xu Luoyang's eyes, Qi Changan's face instantly turned extremely pale, as if he had seen some terrifying scene, his pupils shrunk, and there was even a fine cold sweat on his forehead.
Surprised, Xu Luoyang sat up quickly, instinctively embraced Qi Changan in his arms, lightly patted him on the back, and reassured him, "Changan... I won't ask about Changan, don't think about it, don't think about it... "
Seeing that Qi Changan was tensed and his whole body was shaking slightly, Xu Luoyang sat up straight, cupped each other's face with both hands, and tried to calm down his tone first, "Changan, look at me, look into my eyes. "
After repeating it several times, the eyes of the two people met, Xu Luoyang tried his best to smile, and his tone was very gentle, "Now you just want me alone, okay? I'm in front of you, we just ate together, walked together, and washed together. The bowl... just thinking about me alone is enough, don't think about the rest..."
Every second passed extremely long, nearly a minute before Qi Changan's breathing gradually calmed down, the sweaty hair on his forehead stuck to his skin, and his eyes were dark.
Xu Luoyang stretched out his hand and gently trimmed his hair, then leaned over and pressed the other's cold lips, "Okay, it's alright, it's me, I'm here."
Qi Changan pressed his forehead against Xu Luoyang's, felt the other's body temperature, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely, "Sorry."
I still can't do it.
"Don't be sorry," Xu Luoyang shook his head, his smile was gentle and bright, "I love you, so I will love everything about you, good or bad, all within the scope. As for those little secrets, you can Continue to hide, doesn't it mean that lovers must also maintain a sense of mystery, otherwise it is easy to lose their attractiveness? You have completely done it!"
Qi Changan looked at Xu Luoyang very intently. The person he loved was very good-looking. His facial lines were not as stern as a knife or axe. He had big eyes, long eyelashes, fair skin, and he liked to laugh. Everyone seemed warm and soft, like a throbbing flame.
Leaning down slowly, Qi Changan put a pious kiss on Xu Luoyang's eyebrows.
How lucky I am to meet you.
In the evening, it started to rain, Xu Luoyang took Qi Changan to run back, laughing while running, and when they got to the yard, their clothes were soaked. Wiping the rain off his face, Xu Luoyang grabbed Qi Changan's wrist, "Let's go, go take a shower, and change your clothes!"
Pushing Qi Changan into the bathroom, Xu Luoyang took off his coat, wearing only a knitted sweater, and wiped his hair casually with a towel in his hand. At this time, the phone rang, he pressed the answer, and after saying a few words, he found that Zheng Dong's tone was unusually calm.
"Brother Zheng, what happened?" After a quick turn in his mind, Xu Luoyang was sure that he was not in trouble, so he asked nervously, "Do you want to take back my three-day vacation? I will really refuse. Yes! You must not try!"
Zheng Dong was in a good mood and said the answer directly, "I just received a call, Stu has confirmed that they will sign you as their global spokesperson."
Stu is a top-tier luxury brand in the world. This time, Xu Luoyang came to the show as the only male star officially invited by the brand in China, but he and Zheng Dong were both conservative in this regard and did not place their hopes on being able to. Got an endorsement, so it was easy from start to finish.
So, Xu Luoyang, who was not mentally prepared, lost the towel in his hand when he was shocked by the news. He opened his mouth and finally made a voice, "How would you choose me?"
"I also really want to ask this question! You have endorsed Duanning's ready-to-wear and perfume, Cherexi's watches and sunglasses before, but Stu's global endorsement is not a heavyweight at all, and there is no news at all! "
"Yes, yes, I have exactly the same question as you!"
"..." Zheng Dong rationalized his thoughts and asked him, "Isn't it a celebration feast after yesterday, what did you and Wilson talk about?"
Wilson is the creative director of Stu, wearing glasses and a beard, Xu Luoyang tried to recall, "After taking a group photo according to the process, he handed me a cocktail, first praised my accent for being very pure, and then started Chatting ramblingly. From folk myths to design ideas, from the presidential campaign to the food in the surrounding countryside, to my terrible electives in college and his own experience at the Costume Institute in Rome.”
"anything else?"
"No," Xu Luoyang confirmed. "After that, he was called away by others. Until the end of the banquet, I never found a chance to talk to him again."
The sound of paper flipping came from Zheng Dong's side, "I checked, and there are several keywords in recent Stu brand conferences, one is death and new life, one is resurrection, and the other is the front and back of self. I Guess, his choice of you may have something to do with your previous exposure from the age of seventeen to nineteen."
After thinking about it, Zheng Dong continued to analyze, "In the past two years, despite the slump in physical records, your album sales have basically been stable at number one, and the box office appeal of your movie is definitely in the top three domestically. Endorsements, Cherexi's watch is almost out of stock, he should have taken all these aspects into consideration."
Xu Luoyang's fan base is mainly young women in their twenties and thirties, with strong cohesion and purchasing power.
Looking at the raindrops falling on the glass window, Xu Luoyang thought about it and asked, "How long will this news be released?"
"It's two o'clock in the morning in China, the news will be released on time at seven in the morning, and there are still five hours." Zheng Dong has completely calmed down, "You have to stay in London for a few more days, I will come tomorrow, can you? After that, unlocking other first-tier luxury brands is just a matter of this hammer.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Luoyang picked up the towel that had fallen on the ground, threw the phone aside, and jumped on the spot happily. After jumping, he wanted to knock on the bathroom door, and finally resisted the urge.
He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to distract himself, and inadvertently, his eyes were drawn to the books on the shelf.
After picking out one of them, Xu Luoyang discovered that it was Qi Changan's middle school textbook, which was densely packed with notes, and it was very serious at first glance. There were a few sheets of paper sandwiched between the pages, which should be classwork, and one of the five questions was wrong.
Xu Luoyang looked at it with relish. It seemed that just through these handwritings, he could see the young Qi Changan, wearing a well-cut school uniform—dark uniform jacket, cashmere vest, tie, sitting in the classroom listening carefully, maybe even pointing fingers Turn the pen flexibly.
Wait, Xu Luoyang has a doubt in his heart, do monsters also need to study in high school and university next to each other? Is it to learn human knowledge and better integrate into human society? It must also be adjusted according to the age of human beings, it is really hard!
Xu Luoyang took out another textbook and found that the handwriting on it was much smoother and more beautiful than before. He sighed again in his heart - in order to disguise the characteristics of human beings' continuous growth and progress, Chang'an is really attentive!
At this time, the familiar footsteps approached, Xu Luoyang put down the book, ran over in a few steps, and threw himself directly on Qi Changan, throwing all the doubts in his heart to one side, and excitedly announced the news, "Changan Changan, Stu's creative director, Wilson, has finalized me as a global spokesperson!"
Xu Luoyang emphasized, "It's not a watch endorsement, nor a ready-to-wear endorsement, it's a global endorsement!"
"Congratulations on the trouble," Qi Changan also laughed, "I'm the most troublesome!"
"Of course!" Xu Luoyang raised his chin, but soon became frustrated again, "Mr. Zheng will come over tomorrow, it's uncomfortable, and he has to start working again."
Qi Changan comforted him, "Your career is on the rise now, and you must devote more effort to your work. I won't disappear. When you finish work, you will see me again."
Xu Luoyang stared at him, pursing his lips and not speaking.
"Then I'll take you there tomorrow?"
Xu Luoyang continued to stare.
"I will come to visit the class and bring you something delicious."
Xu Luoyang still did not speak.
Qi Changan was helpless, "I'll accompany you, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Xu Luoyang tightened his arms and didn't let go at all, "You said it yourself, you will accompany me!"
"Well, I said that."
Qi Changan thought, after passing the "Don't Eat Carrots Act", can it also pass the "Act on Limiting the Times of Coquetry"
