According to inertia, Chen Gong could vaguely guess what Sean's plan was when he asked him to meet.

After hanging up Sean's call, Chen Gong stayed in the car for more than 20 minutes, repeatedly switching over many recent troubles in his mind, and finally decided to go to the appointment - Chen Gong turned the car key back again.

When driving out of the garage, Chen Gong glanced at the time—15:12.

It's already October, and the heat is still strong, mixed with the dryness unique to northern cities, making people feel depressed.

The sky was clear and cloudless, so the sky was scattered freely.

One layer was weakened by the window with the heat insulation sticker, and another layer was weakened by the mirror. When it finally fell into his eyes, Chen Gong still felt that the sun was a little dazzling.

The two have been entangled with Sean for seven years.

In his senior year, Chen Gong was half an intern in a photography company and half a freelance photographer. At that time, Chen Gong met Sean, and it was like a thunderbolt suddenly hit the chaotic world - so the young man became enlightened.

Sean later became a professional model, thanks to Chen Gong. At that time, the clumsy Chen Gong had no experience and no bargaining chips. He only took a second-hand camera and frequently contacted Sean in the name of appointment shooting. . Chen Gong took a set of photos of Sean, in which Sean was fresh and cute, with a refined and refined temperament; at that time, it was still the age of blogging, and that set of photos was also popular on the Internet.

The moves are clumsy, but useful.

The evening when Chen Gong's university graduation ceremony was over and he left the school dormitory with his luggage and moved into the newly rented small room, Sean called. He cried and said that he couldn't bear you. to send you.

That night, Chen Gong and Sean clumsily fired the first shot of their seven-year-long battle in the cramped and musty tattered small booth.

This is the catch.

At that time, both of them were still poor and lived in Chen Gongzu's small studio.

Chen Gong couldn't hate him later, because he felt that no matter what Sean chose later, at least he chose him with nothing at the beginning.

The first time Sean mentioned the breakup was after a year of being together - when Chen Gong followed Wang Yao to create HALO, he was busy all day long. At that time, Sean signed into the first brokerage company, and a case could earn Chen Gong's salary for a month.

Chen Gong said "OK" and helped him carry the box down the old building without elevator.

After Sean left, Chen Gong often paid attention to his developments online: within a week, Sean and another model frequently interacted on social media.

The friend said that Sean was riding a donkey to find a horse - "You should see clearly now?"

Chen Gong snorted: "Then what else can he do? In the end, I blame myself for being a donkey, not a horse."

Later, Chen Gong's pursuit of "success" was very strong, and there were some factors like this - the only thing that can make you feel safe in life, isn't it the capital that you can hold in your hands

Half a year later, Sean found Chen Gong again, using the same words as the first time - saying that he couldn't bear you, and also said: Where have you moved, I have a gift for you.

He was willing to send it, and Chen Gong was also willing to accept it all.

In the following seven years, every time Sean knocked on Chen Gong's door, Chen Gong knew the answer clearly in his heart - he was used as a temporary residence by Sean again, but Chen Gong didn't want to keep him out. .

Love is not love anymore... But looking back, the strange city outside the window is colorful, and the craving in my heart that continues to collapse due to loneliness, the deeper and more elusive it is.

And Chen Gong always climbed all the way towards the goal of "success", and was reluctant to take a breath; despite this, Chen Gong did not feel that he was qualified and capable of starting the next relationship. When you are rational, you also know that this is an overkill from another angle; but when the bottom is empty, it is difficult to open your emotional valve easily.

So Ren Xiaoen repeatedly pushed open his door, occupied his bed, or generously donated to him, or even more...

What if there is no love? Dispatching is just, everyone gets what they need.

Zheng Yi called Yang Yi "Little Sheep".

Every time he heard it from him, Chen Gong felt a little funny - Chen Gong called Sean also "Little Sheep".

When entering the restaurant, before Chen Gong had time to ask the waiter's seat number, "Little Sheep" waved over there.

Chen Gong sat down, his face was not very good-looking, and his tone was indifferent: "What are you looking for?"

Sean smiled with the dessert spoon in his mouth, the dimples were a bit sultry, and pushed another cheesecake towards Chen Gong's direction: "I have a gift for you!"

Sean is one year younger than himself, and he is 27 this year. He can be properly maintained, and there may be a lot of medical and aesthetic means bonuses - he still looks like a college student. Chen Gong looked at Sean's delicate face, but couldn't find any emotions from the past after looking at it for a long time, and said, "I'm tired recently and need to be quiet."

"You said to be quiet, didn't someone come to the appointment?" Sean raised his eyebrows and teased Chen Gong: "Could it be that you found someone?"

Chen Gong didn't say a word, he sipped the straw to drink water.

"I got it right?"

"None of your business."

"What kind of beautiful boy - do you have any pictures to show me, is it a model again?"

Chen Gong shook his head: "Not a model."

Sean laughed "pochi": "Still a fool, nothing has changed."

Being suddenly ridiculed of his IQ, Chen Gong reacted for a long time before he understood the logic: denying that the "object"'s profession is a model is to admit that he has a new love.

Chen Gong glared at him angrily, but still didn't say anything - less talk and less mistakes.

"It's not a model, it's definitely not as good-looking as me."

Chen Gong thought about it, and admitted in his heart that Sean was good-looking - like a silk shirt, smooth and soft, you can pull out his charming folds with every move.

- But Zheng Yi is pretty...

- What is Zheng Yi

Realizing that he had put Zheng Daidai into the role of "object", Chen Gong choked, and added a little more impatience to his emotions: "Speak up - otherwise I will go back!"

When Chen Gong threw out such a sentence indifferently, Sean pouted: "Tsk, so ruthless? - I've been playing with someone recently, and I don't care about an old guy like you - then let's get down to business: our company A group of newcomers have been screened in, and there is no exposure. I would like to chat with you HALO. Can you do something like an event for the newcomers to mix works and exposure. Will you accept it?"

"Okay—you put a budget, and I'll give you a plan."

"A group of newcomers won't cost much, 800,000 - but I have to keep 30%."

Chen Gong gave Sean a cold look, and then he dipped his head to drink water: "Then you can just tell me 600,000 yuan? - OK, let me think about it."

"I'll send you the information back, and you can give me a word as soon as possible."

Chen Gong muttered "um".

"Try the cheesecake too, it's delicious."

Chen Gong felt the small golden spoon, dug out a small piece and put it in his mouth, leisurely looking for a topic: "How are you doing recently?"

"Recently, there is a lot of life..." Sean said with a smile: "There are a few newcomers who want to fight for some resources, and they take turns to bother me - there was a child in yesterday's game because of his good looks, Pretend to be drunk and go straight to me - unfortunately, in the wrong place, I didn't expect me to bump into him - do you want me to introduce it to you?"

The cheese melted into his mouth and was sticky, Chen Gong felt a little nauseated: "No need."

"It's quite photogenic - you can take some pictures of his private room, maybe he will become popular?"

A crisis that had been missed in his mind was awakened by Sean's words inadvertently, and Yang Yi's lingering voice message sounded in Chen Gong's ears again - "Brother Zheng, I've booked a room, what time will you come?"

Putting down his spoon, Chen Gong pressed his phone and glanced at the time—16:35.

Stand up and say goodbye simply: "If you can't eat, go first."

"Yo..." Sean laughed playfully, "I still want to invite you to my new house to play."

Chen Gong was also too lazy to take over.

Quickly walked out of the restaurant to the elevator and took out his mobile phone, just as Qiumang called: "Senior Chen, what are you doing?"

"I was about to call you—do you know where Zheng Yi is?"

"… What's wrong?"

"You think of a way to hold him back, don't let him go out and play with people!"

Qiumang smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Why are you jealous, I'm okay, don't joke about it, I can't eat anything when I think of him now!"

"Then you still mind him playing with others?"

Arriving on the B2 floor, Chen Gong paused, and separated from the crowd in the elevator car, Chen Gongcai continued: "I tell you yes, I trust you, and you also trust me - that Yang Yi is not a good thing. , he wanted to date Zheng Yi... what, then secretly photographed Zheng Yi and corrupted him in the future!"

Qiumang didn't look back on the other end of the phone - probably shocked.

Chen Gong added: "I heard it with my own ears!"

"Okay I know... I told him. But... don't you hate him?"

"That doesn't allow him to fall into the mouth of the sheep and enter the tiger's mouth—" The shell stuck in his head, and Chen Gong corrected meaninglessly—"The tiger enters the mouth of the sheep!"

"Why didn't you tell him yourself?"

Chen Gongpu unlocked the car and got in the car: "Can I say it? Can he believe what I said? People are being fascinated by that lamb - I don't get along with him, so I'll go now. Say that Zheng Yiyi will think that I am provoking!"

Qiumang expressed his understanding: "That's right—Zheng Yi is an idiot anyway. You don't have any credentials, and it's not easy to prove this kind of thing yourself. When the time comes, Director Zheng's forehead is hot and he'll throw you a Coke or something..."

Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "What are you calling?"

"Oh..." Qiu Mang paused and said, "Zheng Yi suddenly said he was leaving..."

Chen Gong was stunned: "Why?"

"He didn't want to say anything, he just said he was an asshole, that he had done something wrong and that he had no face to stay in HALO, that he wanted to apologize and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to make it up—hey, Senior Chen, he has been with him for the past two days. Stay with you, do you know who he offended?"

Chen Gong, who was "offended", said his words to Qiu Mang, and his mind got stuck.

"Can you persuade him?"

"I persuade him?... It's not that you don't know if we don't get along."

"Huh?... The person who Zheng Yi offended... couldn't be you?"

"Oh no..."

"Did he speak rudely again? Did he beat you up?"

Chen Gong denied: "If he hit me, I hit back—what's the point of getting angry?"

Qiu Mang laughed "puchi": "I'm still a fool, nothing has changed."

The second time he was ridiculed for his IQ today, Chen Gong reacted for a long time before he understood the logic: denying that the act of "offending himself" was Zheng Yi's beating, that is, the one who admitted that Zheng Yi offended was himself.

Chen Gong was a little suffocated.

Qiumang chased after the victory over the phone: "What did he do that you can't forgive - tell me!"

"It's nothing... ah, don't ask!" Chen Gong was a little impatient with the girl's entanglement: "Don't think too much, it's nothing - okay, take care of Qiu, don't worry, the employee's resignation must have been yours, you When the time comes, just bite the bullet and don't let him go - as long as Zheng Yi doesn't leave, I can guarantee that I will do business in the future and not seek personal revenge!"

"Don't you want him to go?—He's gone, and you're the director."

Chen Gong was stunned for a long time. The air-conditioning in the car was running a little too far, and the temperature of his forehead was a little hot.

After taking a long breath, Chen Gongcai replied, "Well, I don't want to."

Then he hung up Qiu Mang's phone.

The phone was hung up, and the four looked at each other.

After a long while, Zheng Yi "hehe" broke his tears into a smile: "Have you heard? - He doesn't want to."

The author has something to say: Little Theater—

Zheng Yi: "Hey, you're in a hurry!"

Chen Gong: "No."

Zheng Yi: "Hey, you're in a hurry!"

Chen Gong: "No."

Zheng Yi: "Hey, hey, you like to speak Sichuan dialect when you are in a hurry!"

Chen Gong slammed the table: "I said that if I don't have a slap, I don't have a slap. I'll beat you to death!"
