Gu Xun was also looking at Qi Cong. The relaxed smile between his eyebrows clearly disappeared, but he still raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Qi Cong again, while he took another piece of roasted meat and put it on Qi Cong's plate, and asked in a low voice: " When we return to the hotel after supper, let's go to the hotel tea bar? Huaxia security is very good, and I will be very careful not to let the paparazzi take pictures of you."
Qi Cong couldn't resist Gu Xun's pitiful and caring appearance, so he almost instinctively nodded, but halfway through he thought of something, he looked at Zhao Zhenxun, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Brother Zhao, I can… "
"Okay." Zhao Zhenxun secretly pierced Gu Xun, who was acting, with his eyes, and then withdrew his eyes out of sight to look at Qi Cong, "Don't stay out too late, I will go to the ward round at half past eleven, you tomorrow morning. There is a play, so don't go to bed too late."
With permission, Qi Cong no longer had any worries, nodded in agreement, and then turned to look at Gu Xun beside him.
Gu Xun also heard Zhao Zhenxun's words, he pretended not to hear the slight warning hint in Zhao Zhenxun's words, smiled at Qi Cong again, gestured for the barbecue in Qi Cong's plate, and said in a good mood: "Eat, for a while. It's cold."
Qi Cong looked at Gu Xun's face with a much more real smile than before, and his mood became a little better. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat to eat.
"Is it tasty?"
Qi Cong glanced at Gu Xun, who was looking forward to it. He tasted the tender and tender beef roasted on the tip of his tongue, and his heart felt like a small flower. He chewed a few times to swallow the meat, and nodded: "It's delicious. "
Gu Xun originally had an expression of anticipation, but his eyes suddenly deepened, moving down a little bit, landing on the corner of Qi Cong's slightly raised mouth, and then moving up to meet Qi Cong's eyes, the curvature of the corner of his mouth deepened, but his voice became Somewhat low, he replied, "It's delicious... just fine."
…
A barbecue meal didn't end until 10:30, and the group of four left the food street and drove back to the hotel.
The four of them came to the food court in the same car, so they naturally sat together when they returned. When he came, Shen Jia was sitting in the back seat, next to Gu Xun who was "invited" by Zhao Zhenxun to the back seat, and Qi Cong was sitting in the co-pilot. Before getting into the car this time, Shen Jia's eyes turned on Qi Cong and Gu Xun who were talking together a step behind. Suddenly, a thief smiled, went around first and got into the co-pilot, and said to Zhao Zhenxun who was driving: "Brother Zhao, I will accompany you. You sit in front."
Zhao Zhenxun looked at the "sensible" Shen Jia, expressionless: "I don't need your company."
"What you want, brother Zhao, are you tired, do you want me to drive?"
Zhao Zhenxun took a look in the rearview mirror and raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing Shen Jia sitting in the co-pilot. He immediately put on a pure appearance and opened the door for Qi Cong Gu Xun, and answered Shen Jia's question by starting the car. "Smart" asked.
The door was closed, and only Qi Cong and Gu Xun sat in the spacious back row. Qi Cong also saw Shen Jia's little "help". After he got in the car, he leaned over to support the driver's seat and said to Zhao Zhenxun: "The vocal music teacher said that my "Delusion" is almost done, so I can try to formally record."
Zhao Zhenxun's expression became better when he heard this. He looked at Qi Cong in the rearview mirror and said, "I will contact the crew and arrange for you to record the episode as soon as possible."
Qi Cong responded and came into contact with Shen Jia's playful gaze through the rearview mirror, reached out and patted Shen Jia's arm, sat back, and finally looked at Gu Xun beside him.
After Gu Xun got into the car, he kept sitting against the door, without doing any intimate actions that would make Qi Cong uncomfortable, and he didn't talk nonsense until Qi Cong looked over and asked, "Do you want to record? New song?"
In fact, Qi Cong was not very good at dealing with the intimate behavior Gu Xun showed to him in front of others, and refused to be afraid of Gu Xun's sadness. Gu Xun's "knowledge of proportions" at this time made him relax a lot, he nodded and replied, "Well, it's an episode of "The Legend of Qinggu"."
Gu Xun made a "uh", suddenly took out his phone from his pocket to unlock it, pressed it on the screen for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at Qi Cong.
Qi Cong was puzzled by Gu Xun's behavior. Just as he was about to ask, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He realized something, glanced at Gu Xun, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone and turned it on.
A new WeChat message was lying on the prompt bar, from Gu Xun.
really.
Qi Cong glanced at Gu Xun again, then looked at Zhao Zhenxun and Shen Jia who were sitting in front of him, lowered his head and opened the news.
Gu Xun: Then for your second song, will I still be the first listener
Qi Cong was stunned and looked at Gu Xun.
Gu Xun smiled at Qi Cong and typed again.
The phone vibrated again, and when new news came in, Qi Cong looked down.
Gu Xun: I'll trade my vacation with you.
Holiday
Just as Qi Cong was about to look up at Gu Xun again, another message came in.
Gu Xun: During the holiday, I want to watch "Tianwen" with you.
Watching "Heavenly Questions" together... Xinhu seemed to be gently fiddled with by a pair of hands, and began to be deeply uneasy again, Qi Cong tightened his fingers.
So far, he hasn't seen Gu Xun's video—
Suddenly there was movement around him, the person who was sitting next to the car door leaned over, and then the other party's mobile phone stuck under his nose. A message that has not been sent after inputting is printed in Qi Cong's eyes.
[I trade my vacation and a movie ticket for the first right to your new song. change? ]
The slender finger clicked to send the message, and then suddenly opened the emoji bar. Qi Cong watched as a cat meme package "You have to ask me to ask you to love me a little more" was selected and sent out.
The phone in his hand vibrated, very lightly, as if someone was pulling his hand pitifully and shaking it, carefully looking for an excuse to meet for a holiday.
Qi Cong's heart trembled violently, holding the poor Shake firmly in his hand, turned his head to look at Gu Xun, who was sitting next to him, and met the eyes of the other party that seemed to have been falling on him and never looked away, with the fierceness in his heart. On the contrary, he shook his head slightly and gently.
"I'll change." The voice was barely audible.
Gu Xun immediately smiled brightly, sat a little further away, picked up the phone and clicked again.
Looking at Gu Xun's smile, Qi Cong couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth a little, and looked down at her phone in cooperation.
Two seconds later, a new message came in with the vibration.
Gu Xun: Why haven't the holidays come yet... I'm so anxious.
…
The food street is not too far from the hotel, less than ten minutes by car. Zhao Zhenxun watched Gu Xun tease Qi Cong all the way with his mobile phone in the front seat. When he got out of the car, he was too lazy to say anything. He reached out and grabbed the inexplicably excited Shen Jia, waved to Gu Xun and Qi Cong, and took Shen Jia to leave first.
Gu Xun walked around the back of the car and walked to Qi Cong's side and stood still, watched Zhao Zhenxun and Shen Jia leave together with Qi Cong, then raised his watch to check the time, turned his head to Qi Cong and said, "It's ten forty-five now. We still have half an hour before we send you back to your room... it's too short." With a shallow sigh.
Qi Cong looked back at Gu Xun, took a careful look at Gu Xun's expression at this time, and tightened his hand on the strap of the backpack, and said, "Not short... We will have many more half-hours like this in the future."
Gu Xun was obviously stunned for a moment: "You..."
"Let's go." Qi Cong grabbed Gu Xun's arm and asked as he walked towards the elevator, "I've eaten too much barbecue, I want to drink some tea that can relieve my tiredness. Do you have any recommendations?"
The warmth and strength on his arms were very clear, Gu Xun passively followed Qi Cong a step forward, his eyes dazedly moved down to Qi Cong's hand holding him, the gentle mask on his face shattered a little, and when Qi Cong let go Shi suddenly returned to his senses, and suddenly took a quick step to be side by side with Qi Cong, to see the expression on Qi Cong's face.
Qi Cong seemed to have known that Gu Xun was going to show up for a long time, and seemed to have not noticed Gu Xun's gaffe. He looked at Gu Xun, carefully recorded Gu Xun's expression at this time, and asked, "Do you have a recommendation? ? I don't know much about tea."
Gu Xun grabbed Qi Cong's arm almost fiercely.
Qi Cong paused for a while, but did not break free, but took Gu Xun's arm to signal the direction of the elevator again, and said, "Let's go, let's drink tea."
Gu Xun stared at Qi Cong's expression at this time, and then released his hand a little bit.
Qi Cong, who has a gentle and relaxed expression, will not avoid his gaze and words, and will take the initiative to expand and continue the topic... Qi Cong, who is not forced to move by poking at him, but takes the initiative to send some signals to him... It's three years The former Qi Cong, the Qi Cong who had his thoughts in his heart and was forced to hide by various pressures and realities, was gentle in his relationship but never timid, and would take the initiative to hold his hand and ask him if he wanted to spend the Qixi Festival together.
Gu Xun suddenly had a feeling that the hidden brave and powerful Qi Cong was trying to peel off the layers of shackles that had shrouded him in reality and the past three years' experience, and truly reached out to him and opened up the world for him again.
"Gu Xun." The released arm was suddenly grabbed back, Gu Xun recovered and looked into Qi Cong's warm and serious eyes.
"I've played both scenes today, and Director Wang said I'm very talented." Qi Cong looked at Gu Xun's expression just because of his initiative. With a smile, the hand holding Gu Xun's arm used a little strength, "He said that I have a bright future... Gu Xun, wish us success."
Obviously Qi Cong just repeated what he said yesterday, but... Gu Xun suddenly turned his head and took a deep breath, restraining the urge to hold Qi Cong in his arms now, looked at Qi Cong again, and replied: "Quick It'll be... soon."
If it succeeds, it will fly over at the fastest speed, push the person in front of him and stride to him, and then tie them together forever.
…
What was the taste of the tea that night, Qi Cong didn't drink it. He only knew that Gu Xun was very happy, very, very happy.
The two talked about a lot of meaningful or meaningless topics in this half hour, Gu Xun always had a smile on his face, and his tone was gentle but high.
The distance between time and reality has been shortened infinitely at this moment. The two seem to have returned to three years ago, back to the place where they could meet in a coffee shop every day, and then drink coffee together, talk about daily life and the future, and know each other well. Mingdi let the ambiguous emotions that both of them have in the air flowing in the air, and finally looked at each other and smiled, and asked about three years ago tomorrow.
"Would you like to come to my house when you have a chance? I have a little surprise from the past that I want to show you."
Gu Xun looked across the tea table with a smile, and the invitation came naturally. Qi Cong recovered from the slight trance, remembered the tie pin that Gu Xun was wearing on his chest during the live broadcast today, lightly rubbed the teacup with his fingers, and nodded: "Okay." When the dust settles, he will definitely go.
After drinking the tea, Qi Cong did not ask Gu Xun to send him off. The two lived in different buildings. The tea bar of Huaxia Hotel was in the building where Gu Xun lived. If Gu Xun sent him off, he would need to come and go again. It's too time consuming to go back and forth.
The two took the elevator down to the lobby of Building 1, and then Qi Cong turned around to block Gu Xun's footsteps and said, "You caught the plane today and need to rest early."
Gu Xun frowned slightly: "I'm not tired, I'm not even a few steps away anyway, I—"
Qi Cong said, "Good night."
Gu Xun shut his mouth and looked at Qi Cong, no surprise that he compromised, his frowning eyes loosened, he wanted to raise his hand to hug Qi Cong, but in the end he just put his fist into his pocket, took a step back, and said: " Good night."
Qi Cong smiled at Gu Xun, said good night again, and turned to leave.
Gu Xun stood there and watched Qi Cong walk away. He didn't look back until he could no longer see Qi Cong's figure. He turned around and was about to take the elevator upstairs. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a very familiar figure walking into the hotel lobby. Stop and look sideways.
