Xie Xuanming dropped the call and left, Ji Sheng was given a hard lesson, and he didn't have the heart to eat anymore.
He picked up the staple food twice with chopsticks, and ate a few mouthfuls without taste.
About ten minutes later, the driver sent a message saying that he had arrived at the door, and Ji Sheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he also got up and went back.
When we arrived at the villa, Xie Xuanming was still in the study, looking like he was indifferent, which made Ji Sheng even more puzzled.
He knocked on the door and walked in, went to Xie Xuanming's side, and knocked on the table lightly.
"Can I use the basement?"
"Whatever." Xie Xuanming didn't raise his eyes, and didn't ask him why he wanted to borrow the basement, completely cutting off Ji Sheng's plan to use this to break the ice. "The access card is in the second drawer on the left, the blue one."
Xie Xuanming cut off the topic, Ji Sheng had no choice but to go to the cabinet in dejection, find out the card, and walk out of the study to the basement.
Open the door to the basement, remove the drumsticks from the wall, and sit down on the drum stool.
Ji Sheng moved the chair and raised his hand.
As the drumstick fell to the drum, his thoughts also drifted out.
When practicing drumming freely, Ji Sheng's brain cells are always extremely active. The drum set is like his emotional pacemaker. All emotional thoughts and troubles are constantly spreading from the center of the ripples at the moment when the tip of the drumstick touches the drum surface.
Ji Sheng buried his head in beating the drum, the faster he moved his hands, the more depressed he felt.
He knew that he was wondering, because Xie Xuanming was abused wantonly by netizens who didn't know the truth, because his feelings were questioned.
The former is force majeure. Ji Shengtong lives in the entertainment industry, so he naturally understands that he has to suffer for this job. Compared with paying attention to unwarranted abuse and criticism, ignoring is the best solution.
He beat hard for several minutes, forcing himself to accept Xie Xuanming's bad comments.
So the question comes to the latter item.
Xie Xuanming denied his emotions.
This really made Ji Sheng feel at a loss.
Ji Sheng is not so stupid that he can't even feel his own emotions, although he did have such a stupid time in his previous life... But after being reborn and awakened, he turned his head and looked back at the past time, and realized that a long time ago, the relationship between himself and Xie Xuanming Getting along has been sprinkled with colors that Ming likes.
But Xie Xuanming didn't think so.
Ji Sheng beat the drum, changed his perspective to look back, and was puzzled to find that from the perspective of a bystander, his emotions were indeed abrupt, and it was more like a polite expression of being forced to respond than a natural expression.
No wonder Xie Xuanming misunderstood.
Ji Sheng exhausted his physical strength in the basement as if venting. When he stopped, his wrist was shaken to pain, and his ankle was also numb due to strenuous exercise. Panting for breath, he hung the drumstick back on the wall, lay down on the ground, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
He lay down for a long time, but he still couldn't understand the current situation, and he couldn't figure out why the two of them would make their relationship so stiff when they liked each other.
Ji Sheng couldn't figure it out. His only emotional experience was too complicated to provide him with a corresponding solution. In desperation, he chose to ask others for help.
Ji Sheng called Su Jing.
"Hey, have you finally figured out that you are going to run away?" Even though it was late, Su Jing answered the phone in seconds.
"No." Ji Sheng said, "Didn't you say that I can come to you if I have any problems? I need help now."
"Oh, so I don't want to leave, so I hang up."
"Don't hang up, don't hang up!" Ji Sheng hurriedly stopped him, "It's a very important question, I really can't help it."
"what is the problem?"
"It's like this..." Ji Sheng explained the situation thoroughly, and then repeated what Xie Xuanming said at noon.
After he finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell into a strange silence. A few seconds later, Su Jing gritted his teeth and asked, "You called me in the middle of the night just to ask me how to solve the emotional problem between you and Xie Xuanming?"
"Yeah." Ji Sheng affirmed.
"Am I the fucking late-night emotional male anchor?!" Su Jing exploded.
"Didn't you also do this part-time job!!" Ji Sheng was very aggrieved.
"..." Su Jing was speechless for a moment, "OK."
Su Jing calmed down, recalled Ji Sheng's retelling just now, and suddenly became angry again: "What is 'I don't believe in your liking', isn't this just complaining that you don't like him enough? Xie Xuanming is really PUAing you, right?"
He was very angry, but Ji Sheng caught the point: "I don't think I like it enough? Why do I feel this way?"
"I don't know." Su Jing groaned, "Maybe he lacks love, maybe he wants you to give more, maybe you really didn't show how much you like him... But this is a good thing, after all, you also know that in love Those who are deeply affectionate will never end well... "
"Oh..." Although Su Jing's words may be random nonsense, Ji Sheng still grasped something from it, "Thank you, I understand."
"? What do you know?"
"It's because he didn't show that he likes Xie Xuanming very much, that's why he thinks so. I have to take the initiative."
"What kind of enterprise-level understanding do you have..." Su Jing obviously didn't expect that his nonsense, not only failed to persuade Ji Sheng to think about it, but actually had the opposite effect. He was so angry that he was about to scold him for waking up his love-conscious friend...
Ji Sheng didn't give him this chance.
"Good night!" Ji Sheng knew Su Jing's virtue, so naturally he didn't intend to give him room to play
He ignored Su Jing's angry growl and simply died.
call.
Ji Sheng let out a long breath, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the ground.
Do you like it...
He lay down for a while, stretched his hands, and stood up from the ground.
Ji Sheng turned off the lights, took the card and came out from the basement, not surprised to see that the lights in the study room were still on.
He glanced down at the time, it was almost two o'clock.
Ji Sheng knocked on the door, and there was a sound of "Come in" from inside the room.
Ji Sheng pushed the door open, and Xie Xuanming was still sitting at the desk, maintaining the same posture as when Ji Sheng took the card and left for a few hours.
Ji Sheng stood at the door and asked nonsense: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"The job isn't done."
"It's late."
Xie Xuanming paused, and closed the document in his hand: "Sleep right away."
He piled a stack of papers on the side of the desk, and didn't get up immediately, Ji Sheng hesitated, and went to stand beside him.
"looking at what?"
"script."
"The one from the web drama?"
"Yes." Xie Xuanming said, "See if there is anything that needs to be changed."
"Is there any?"
"It's quite a lot." Xie Xuanming was finally attracted by the meaningless conversation, "Do you have anything to say?"
Ji Sheng touched his nose: "Yes."
Xie Xuanming looked up, waiting for his answer.
Ji Sheng didn't move for two seconds, he felt that it was not good to speak up and down like this, so he squatted down.
Xie Xuanming's gaze followed him down, Ji Sheng went from high to low, his eyelids were lower than the height of Xie Xuanming's eyes, his face was very small when looking down, and the moles at the corners of his eyes were eye-catching in the light and shadow.
"Huh?" Xie Xuanming made a single sound.
"Didn't I confess to you before?" Ji Sheng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "But it seems that I haven't said that yet."
"Ok?"
"I like you."
"..."
Ji Sheng let out a long breath, and the tension accumulated in his heart gradually dissipated with the words of the confession.
Xie Xuanming didn't respond to this, Ji Sheng mustered up the courage to look up and look at Xie Xuanming.
"I like you." After a pause, the voice dropped again, "Are you still angry..."
"No." Xie Xuanming finally spoke, he seemed to have a short smile, but quickly recovered his expressionless expression, "Didn't I say that I don't get angry so easily."
"… Really?"
"Really." Xie Xuanming looked down at him, "Stop squatting, it's getting late, wash up and go to bed."
After all, he pushed the chair one step later and stood up.
Ji Sheng responded, got up too, and put the card back in the cabinet.
Xie Xuanming had already put away the desktop first, and stood at the door. He put his hand on the switch and turned off the light after Ji Sheng came out.
Ji Sheng walked out of the room, stopped at the door, and raised his head unwillingly: "Do you have anything to say?"
His eyes were bright, as if he had filled in all the fragments of light and shadow.
Xie Xuanming looked at his own reflection shining in his eyes, and asked calmly, "What should I say?"
"..." Ji Sheng bowed his head discouragedly, "Good night."
He was about to go out, but his shoulders were held back.
Xie Xuanming grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and turned off the light with the other.
Snapped.
The switch is closed.
The moment the lights went out, Xie Xuanming lowered his head and quickly approached Ji Sheng.
Ji Sheng felt the corners of his eyes being touched lightly.
"Good night." Xie Xuanming lightly pecked on the tear mole, "I like you too."
