No one spoke for the rest of the road. There was only soft soft music and buzzing vibrations in the car. After the vibrations disappeared, Liang Sizhe turned off the phone.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Cao Ye glanced at Cao Yuning in the back row, and asked Liang Sizhe casually, "Is the hotel full?"
"You ask me if the hotel is full..." Liang Sizhe laughed, "Do you want to live here?"
"It's so late, I'm too lazy to drive back," Cao Ye unfastened his seat belt, "I'll go to the front desk and ask."
"Let's get your cousin over together," Liang Sizhe said, "I live in a suite. If I don't have a room, I'll make a bedroom for you."
"One room isn't enough," Cao Ye frowned. "I might not be able to sleep with him." He was used to watching all kinds of boring movies to fall asleep, especially the ones that Lin Yan invited him to watch tonight. It’s boring and endless, and with 360-degree surround sound, you’re guaranteed to fall asleep quickly. If he sleeps in the same room with Cao Yuning, he is not sure if he can fall asleep tonight.
"Then you sleep with me?" Liang Sizhe looked at him with a smile, and joked, "Did you sleep well when you slept with me before?" Seeing Cao Ye looking up at himself, Liang Sizhe explained before he could speak, " Just kidding, you can have an extra bed in the living room, are you planning to drive to another hotel so late?"
Cao Ye didn't respond immediately, but he felt that Liang Sizhe's words were quite reasonable. He really didn't want to drive around with a drunk looking for a hotel so late. What's more, when the hotel was booked, it is said that the crew chose the one with the highest specification in a ten-kilometer radius around the filming location. This place is a wild country, and maybe there is no other star-rated hotel.
"Okay, let's go and have a look first." Cao Ye pushed open the car door to get out of the car and moved Cao Yuning out. Liang Sizhe helped him close the car door, turned his head and saw Song Qingyan not far away.
Song Qingyan was squatting at the door of the hotel with a sad face, looking at the main road not far away, when she saw Liang Sizhe getting out of the car, she immediately regained her energy and almost jumped up.
Song Qingyan consciously encountered the biggest career crisis in her life. She squatted here and waited all night with her cell phone in her hand, thinking that if Liang Sizhe took Cao Yu Ningye and did not return home, and when the report came out tomorrow, she would be the culprit who did not stop Liang Sizhe. At that time, if Sister Yunchu asked her for sure, maybe she would be fired directly, and the consequences would be unimaginable...
After a whole night of trembling, I saw Liang Sizhe getting out of the car, followed by... Mr. Cao? ! Song Qingyan almost cried with joy, as if receiving an amnesty.
"Why are you squatting here?" Liang Sizhe lifted his legs up the steps and looked up at her, "Wait for me?"
Standing on the steps, Song Qingyan nodded hurriedly: "Brother Si Zhe, you are back! President Cao is here too? Oh, that's great!"
Liang Sizhe gave her a funny look: "Where's the good thing?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I'm happy to see you and President Cao!" Song Qingyan said in his heart that it was good when President Cao came over. If Liang Sizhe carried a drunk Cao Yuning back to the hotel, then this scene would be her Lingchi scene...
"Go and ask the hotel if there are any suites." Liang Sizhe said.
"It's ordered!" Song Qingyan ran and jumped to the front desk, and quickly ran back, "Brother Si Zhe, there is one more suite left!"
"Okay, thank you." Cao Ye put Cao Yuning on the sofa in the hotel lobby and went to the front desk to check in.
When checking in, the hotel's waiter came over and helped Cao Yuning get into the room ahead of time. When Cao Ye came over after completing the formalities, Cao Yuning had been brought upstairs by the waiter.
The three of them took the same elevator. Song Qingyan stood beside Liang Sizhe, wrinkled his nose and sniffed twice, raised his head and asked Liang Sizhe in a low voice, "Brother Sizhe, are you smoking again?"
"Smell it?"
"You seem to be drinking?"
"The dog's nose is so smart."
"I said that my eyesight is poor but my sense of smell is excellent," Song Qingyan raised her hand and pushed her glasses, took out her phone and flipped through the memo, "I do the math, you have quit drinking for two and a half months this time, and quit smoking. Three months and twenty-three days, wow, the smoking cessation score has broken a record."
Cao Ye stood by and listened to their conversation. At this time, he looked at Liang Sizhe unexpectedly: "Quit smoking and drinking, are you serious?"
Liang Sizhe smiled: "Do you think I lied to you?"
Cao Ye didn't say anything, thinking that I really thought you wouldn't have the truth in your mouth.
"I don't remember lying to you." Liang Sizhe said again.
Song Qingyan muttered while burying his head in recording on his mobile phone: "The seventh time to quit drinking, the ninth time to quit smoking..."
"Your elevator is here." Liang Sizhe reminded her.
"Oh!" Song Qingyan raised her head, the elevator door opened, and before she stepped out, she did not forget to say, "Happy birthday Brother Si Zhe, I will give you a present tomorrow! Good night, Mr. Cao!" After the voice fell, the elevator door closed.
"Why did you think of quitting smoking and drinking?" Cao Ye asked. After asking, he felt that he was asking in vain. Liang Sizhe answered him with two words - "Guess".
But this time he guessed wrong, Liang Sizhe didn't say that, just said in a flat tone: "If you want to quit, quit."
The suites of the hotel are all arranged on the twentieth floor, the night is deep, the doors of a row of rooms passing by are closed, and the corridor is empty and silent.
This side-by-side atmosphere was so familiar that Cao Ye couldn't help thinking that they were like this ten years ago. They passed through closed doors one after another, walked to the end of the aisle, and pushed open the innermost door.
However, the corridor at that time was dark, with only the sparse chandeliers overhead, but today the corridor is brightly lit.
Cao Ye thought that if Liang Sizhe asked himself for another birthday wish, then give it to him. Liang Sizhe is not inferior to his happy birthday, and he does not need to be stingy in giving this blessing.
"My room is here," Liang Sizhe said, reaching out to indicate the direction of his room, interrupting Cao Ye's thoughts.
"Oh," Cao Ye raised his eyes and glanced at his door, "Good night."
"Good night." Liang Sizhe walked to the door of his room, took out the room card and put it close to the door lock, which made a "beep" sound.
Cao Ye continued to walk forward. His room was still in front of him. After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned around.
Liang Sizhe was holding the door handle and was about to push the door to enter the house when he heard Cao Ye calling his name behind him, "Liang Sizhe."
He turned to look at Cao Ye.
Cao Ye stood at a distance of five or six meters away from him, and the warm yellow light reflected on his face, making him look exactly like the gentle and handsome young man in Liang Sizhe's memory.
"Happy birthday." The shadows of the teenager and the youth overlapped and intertwined, and Cao Ye stood under the light and looked at him and said.
Liang Sizhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled a moment later, shook his head and said, "Cao Ye, you are really..." Soft-hearted and cute, do you know that... He looked at Cao Ye and didn't finish his sentence.
"Thank you," he said. It's so easy to let me succeed, you really let me.
After Cao Ye said "Happy Birthday", he turned around and left. The "thank you" was left behind by him. He didn't look back at Liang Sizhe, he went straight to the door of the room, opened the door with his key card, and pushed the door. Go in the door.
When the door was closed, Liang Sizhe retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and smiled, and pushed the door into the room.
—
The waiter placed Cao Yuning in the second bedroom. When Cao Ye walked in, he asked him if this arrangement was appropriate. Cao Ye went to the back room and took a look. Cao Yuning was lying on his back on the bed, sleeping unconscious.
Is Cao Yuning actually gay? Cao Ye looked at Cao Yuning on the bed with mixed feelings. Perhaps when he was having dinner with Lin Yan before, Lin Yan made a joke about his "homophobia" at the dinner table. he said.
It's okay to be gay, but I actually want to sleep Liang Sizhe... Cao Ye looked at Cao Yuning who was asleep, and planned to wait for him to wake up and have a good talk with him, although he didn't think about what to talk to Cao Yuning for the time being. .
When he was about to turn around and go back to his room, there was a knock on the door of the room. Cao Ye walked over and opened the door to see that Song Qingyan, Liang Sizhe's assistant, was standing at the door.
"Is something wrong?"
Song Qingyan handed him the medicine box in his hand: "Mr. Cao, Brother Si Zhe asked me to deliver the hangover granules."
"Oh, thank you," Cao Ye took it and looked down, "Just went out to buy it?"
"No," Song Qingyan explained, "I prepared it before I came to the crew, just in case."
"It's really thoughtful."
"I'm an assistant." Song Qingyan said with a smile.
After closing the door, Cao Ye pushed open the door of Cao Yuning's room with a hangover granule: "Cao Yuning."
Cao Yuning fell asleep with his back to the sky and did not respond.
"Do you want to drink hangover granules?" Cao Ye asked again.
But the question was in vain, Cao Yuning turned over and turned a deaf ear to his words. Cao Ye walked over and put the alcohol-free pills on his bedside table, then walked out of the bedroom.
After taking a shower, Cao Ye leaned on the sofa in the living room and recalled the movie he watched in Lin Yan's company tonight. Although he fell asleep intermittently at the time, he did not miss the approximate turning point of the plot.
He sorted out tonight's viewing experience and post-adjustment comments on his mobile phone and sent it to Lin Yan. Lin Yan hadn't slept yet, so he quickly replied to him after receiving the news: "It's so late, I still remember brother, follow me. What happened to Liang Sizhe, did you fall asleep or not?"
Cao Ye only glanced at the message, then immediately pressed his thumb on the few suggestions that had just been sent on the screen, and clicked the message to withdraw.
Lin Yan: "..."
Cao Ye threw his phone aside, walked to the door, turned off the ceiling light in the living room, and then picked up the remote control to turn on the projector. He was not used to the equipment in the hotel. He sat on the back of the sofa, staring absently at the screen.
The phone on the side vibrated after a while, and it was estimated that Lin Yan realized that he was short of words, and was trying to make up for it at this time.
But Cao Ye ignored it. Although he knew that Lin Yan's jokes were not malicious, he occasionally felt a little bored.
The phone vibrated again, and Cao Ye suddenly thought that in the car just now, Liang Sizhe's phone was buzzing non-stop - how could his birthday be so deserted? It was quite lively a few years ago...
Probably because he had driven the car for too long at night, his body was a little tired, and before the movie entered the main line of fighting, Cao Ye leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
He slept in a drowsy sleep for an unknown time, and heard an "Ouch" in his ear. He opened his eyes and saw that Cao Yuning was standing in front of the master bedroom door. The movie on the projection wall had finished broadcasting, and it stayed on the final "replay" interface. With the dim light on the screen, Cao Ye narrowed his eyes, barely able to see Cao Yuning standing there, raising his hand and rubbing his forehead.
"Cao Yuning?" Cao Ye rubbed his eyes, his throat was a little hoarse, he resisted being sleepy and got up from the sofa, "Where are you sleepwalking?"
"Brother Si Zhe?" Cao Yuning turned his face and looked at him sleepily.
"..." Cao Ye walked over with a slight frown, "Are you drunk, Cao Yuning?"
"...Brother? Where is this..." Cao Yuning looked confused, "Where's the toilet?"
"I don't even know if you were sold?" Cao Ye grabbed his shoulder and took him to the side, "It's true."
Fortunately, Cao Yuning was more worry-free than he was in the past. After finishing the solution, he walked out of the bathroom and looked at Cao Ye very troubled and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
Cao Ye leaned against the wall and waited for him to come out. He closed his eyes and grabbed him into the bedroom: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh," Cao Yuning stumbled onto the bed, "I'm so dizzy..."
Cao Ye closed the door for him, walked back to the living room by himself, picked up the remote control and turned off the projector. When he bent down and put the remote control back on the coffee table, he swept to the mobile phone beside him, picked it up, pressed the bright screen and glanced at it, Lin Yan sent a full screen message:
"Don't withdraw, Yezi, I haven't had time to watch it yet!"
"Hurry up and post it again, I'm worrying about it."
"Brother is wrong, I won't make fun of you in the future, okay?"
"Brother, you are my brother, post it again, brother!"
"Are you asleep, remember to send me when you wake up!"
As Cao Ye walked towards the bedroom, he lowered his head and dug out the post-production suggestion he had written from the memo on his mobile phone, and sent it to Lin Yan again. He took off his robe, then lifted the quilt and lay on the bed.
When I fell asleep, I vaguely noticed that it was raining outside, and the raindrops knocked on the window, making a small crackling sound, so the last picture in my head before falling asleep was the one I saw when I looked up in Qingwei's backyard a few hours ago. a cloud. Is that cloud floating over now, otherwise why would it suddenly rain? When he was half asleep, Cao Ye vaguely thought of Liang Sizhe who was smoking under the cloud.
Then he thought of the scene many years ago, two people who hadn't seen for a long time sitting on a wooden chair on the street, he lit a cigarette with a lighter, and after a couple of puffs, Liang Sizhe stretched out his hand and put his finger between his fingers. The cigarette was taken away, and he took two puffs, "How old are you to smoke?" Liang Sizhe bent down, pressed the half-lit cigarette on the ground, and extinguished it, "When did it start?"
Don't think about it, Cao Ye said to himself in his mind, go to sleep.
