Qi Boyuan took a while to understand the logic of his words. Shocked, he couldn't help but look at Li Xuan again: "You, why are you doing this? Why do you think like that? I want to marry Jia Jia, and I'm definitely planning on being together for the rest of my life. But we're both in our twenties, and the future..."
"No." Li Xuan understood his implication and said in a low and decisive voice, "I won't leave him."
"Don't be so absolute... What if they change their mind first?"
He was afraid that Li Xuan would be unhappy when he said this, but the latter's expression did not change: "Of course he can regret it, at any time, it's up to him."
Qi Boyuan was completely speechless. He scratched his hair and smiled helplessly: "You have confused me. This is totally unlike your style. I shouldn't have come in here to advise you. It's just like talking to you about work. I have never been able to win over you every time... It's just that plans are useless for things like this. I used to think that my girlfriend must be tall and beautiful, younger than me, so that she will stick to me. But look at Jia Jia. She is really beautiful, a few years older than me, and independent. It's impossible for her to stick to me. I have always been the one chasing her, but there is nothing I can do. We just met. How can we be exactly the same?"
After the rain, the sun came out again, and the light reflected on the water droplets, causing the temperature to rise very quickly. The air became a little hot.
"I didn't plan it. This has never happened." Li Xuan said after a while.
His memories before the age of three were very vague, and his parents were unlikely to appear in his memories after the age of three. He was used to being alone, and had never established a close relationship with anyone, nor did he feel the need, at least before he met Sheng Min...
"You go out first. I'll be quiet for a while." Li Xuan suddenly realized that it was stupid to seek reference from others. He drove people away without saying anything. He looked at his watch and said, "Meeting at 6:30. Have you tested the new scene map?"
"Do you have two systems in your brain for public and private affairs? ... No, you didn't originally have a processor for private affairs. It seems that the new research and development is not going well." Qi Boyuan wanted to make him laugh, but Li Xuan lowered his head and began to smoke without saying a word.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Li Xuan didn't say anything for a long time, so Qi Boyuan could only accept his fate and leave. He tried to sneak his cigarette box away, but Li Xuan held his wrist and took it back with an expressionless face, "Let's go."
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
After testing the map of the new scene and sorting out the plan that needed to be confirmed at today's regular meeting, Li Xuan's office door was still closed.
Qi Boyuan thought it was a miracle that the smoke alarm didn't go off according to his method of extraction. He looked at his office several times out of concern. The second time he passed by with a cup of water, Zhou Jia, who was sitting in the living room, saw him and asked him with a smile.
"I wonder why Li Xuan hasn't come out yet."
"Why did he come out? If you want to find him, can't you just go in? Is your hierarchy so serious?" Zhou Jiaqi said.
"No." Qi Boyuan laughed, "You have an appointment with your friends, so why don't you go?"
Zhou Jia held the pillow against his chin and spoke without taking his eyes off the screen: "There's still half an hour left, why are you rushing me? I'll leave after I finish watching."
"How dare I rush you. It's been the whole afternoon. What are you looking at? Why do I feel like this scene has been repeated several times?" Qi Boyuan said casually.
"Last week's "Picking the Moon." Zhou Jia pulled the progress bar back, "I'm watching what our Sheng Min said at the end... Li Xuan." She patted Qi Boyuan, "It's out."
"What?" Li Xuan heard his name and looked over.
"It's okay, it's okay. I want to go over the plan with you." Qi Boyuan didn't want to offend him again, so he quickly changed the subject. Seeing that he was holding a coffee cup, he asked, "Why don't you get some water first?"
Li Xuan didn't say anything. Thinking of what he heard when he opened the door just now, he walked over unconsciously and his eyes fell on Zhou Jia's computer.
He also watched last week's "Picking the Moon" several times. Of course, he chose to watch only Sheng Min, so he didn't pay attention to the part that was playing on the screen.
This is a competition where the contestants are selected from 30 to 20. The contestants are randomly divided into five teams. Each team draws a theme and arranges a stage on their own.
The theme this group drew was forever. After the performance, the host asked the contestants about their understanding of the theme as usual. After saying a bunch of nonsense that was boring to anyone, the host probably felt it was boring and asked the mentors in the audience: "How far is forever in your understanding?"
He had chosen a female instructor, who obviously hadn't expected this, and was probably cursing in her heart that there was no such part in the script. After an awkward smile, she hesitantly picked up the microphone and commented on the shortcomings of the performance.
However, in the corner of the screen, Sheng Min's lips moved slightly. He didn't turn on the microphone, so the sound naturally didn't come out. I think the sound was originally soft, and people around didn't notice it, but it was recorded by the camera truthfully. He did say something, very short, probably just a few words.
"The fans have been guessing for a week. Our Sheng Min never responds to other people's conversations." Zhou Jia was still explaining to Qi Boyuan, "This female instructor always likes to pick the thorns on her hand. We wonder if Sheng Min is reminding her, but we don't think so... There is also a man in this group, yes, the ugliest one, who has bitched Sheng Min on Weibo before. He doesn't know how many fans he has, and he always likes to fight with our family, but he always gets crushed. Some people also guessed that they were talking about him. Look at this shot, he glared at Sheng Min like a black-eyed chicken, but I don't think Sheng Min can do that, he doesn't care about these things at all..."
Qi Boyuan actually felt a little speechless, thinking it was really boring. But he never dared to comment on Zhou Jia's star-chasing. Moreover, Sheng Min was half the spokesperson for "One Corner", so he pretended to be very interested: "Oh, so..."
"Don't try to fool me." Zhou Jia exposed him mercilessly, looked up at Li Xuan behind him, and joked, "When are you going to meet, please help ask. We fans are so curious..."
He was about to finish his words when the mouse was suddenly taken away by Li Xuan. His hands were shaking slightly, and he quickly pulled the camera back to look again. His expression suddenly changed. Qi Boyuan and Zhou Jia were left staring at each other.
Qi Boyuan should have called him, but Li Xuan didn't listen and couldn't hear it at all. The mouse fell on the sofa, and the screen continued to play the next stage. He was lost, and his mind was full of the words Sheng Min said.
It was like a code that had been passed around by thousands of people, but no one had figured it out. The person who sent the code had never intended to deliver it, but somehow it ended up in the palm of the only recipient.
How far is forever
Fifty-one days.
