The next morning, Cao Yuning woke up first. After getting up, he looked around and realized that he was in the hotel. After he recalled what happened last night, he quickly looked down at himself.

- He didn't take off his clothes at all. What's the situation? Didn't he get drunk and brought back to the hotel by Liang Sizhe

He quickly got out of bed and walked around the lobby with his hotel slippers, but he still didn't see Liang Sizhe.

The door of the master bedroom was tightly closed. Cao Yuning was not sure if Liang Sizhe was inside, so he gathered up his courage and walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no answer inside.

He knocked twice, and this time he asked tentatively, "Brother Si Zhe?"

Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock for the third time, someone knocked on the door of the suite.

dong dong dong.

Who is it? Cao Yuning drowsily walked over to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he instantly got out of sleep—Liang Sizhe was standing outside the door.

Cao Yuning was stunned for a while, and just as he was about to open his mouth to call "Brother Sizhe", Liang Sizhe put his index finger in front of his lips and motioned him to keep his voice low. Cao Yuning immediately shut up.

"Your brother hasn't woken up yet?" Liang Sizhe asked.

"No..." Cao Yuning raised his hand and scratched his hair, trying to save his image a little, "Are you looking for him?"

Just as Liang Sizhe was about to speak, Cao Ye's voice came from the master bedroom, a slightly hoarse voice with the air of getting up: "Cao Yuning!"

Cao Yuning turned to look at Liang Sizhe, Liang Sizhe raised his chin, motioned for him to go over, then walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Cao Yuning walked towards Cao Ye's room and pushed open the bedroom door: "Brother Si Zhe..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Ye interrupted: "Cao Yuning, come here." He just woke up, not naturally, but just woken up by Cao Yuning's knock on the door, and he looked very uncomfortable. Jia, he pointed to the edge of the bed, "you sit here."

Cao Yuning realized that Cao Ye was on the verge of being bombed, and his state might be like the sleepy hair on top of his head...

"Brother, Brother Sizhe..." Cao Yuning instinctively moved out Liang Sizhe as a rescuer, reminded him that Liang Sizhe was outside, and asked Cao Ye to pay attention to his words.

However, Cao Ye didn't give him a chance. He frowned: "Brother Sizhe, how many times have you called me Brother Sizhe since last night? Let me ask you, is Liang Sizhe your brother or I am your brother?"

"no… "

"Isn't it? Do you have a brain? Cao Yuning... Was it Liang Sizhe who poured you wine last night?"

"He also insisted on not drinking me," Cao Yuning felt a little guilty, "I drank it myself..."

"Oh, I get it, you're rushing to put him to bed, right?" Cao Ye's waking up anger was written all over his face, and he frowned at him. I always thought that his younger brother was quite good. It was hard to imagine that Cao Yuning had been pestering him to come to the crew a few days ago, actually wanting him to pimp in the middle.

Cao Ye raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. He closed his eyes and asked, "I can't see what's good about Liang Sizhe, can you tell me?"

He mentioned what happened last night, and Cao Yuning recalled some clips before the clip. Liang Sizhe sat opposite him and half-truly said that he had a crush on Cao Ye, wouldn't it be true

His idol Liang Sizhe wouldn't really have a crush on his brother, would he? This guess made Cao Yuning unacceptable, and almost made Liang Sizhe fall from the altar in his mind. He doesn't know others, but he is familiar with his brother Cao Ye. Every time he returns to China from vacation, he will find that Cao Ye has a new girlfriend next to him.

Although Liang Sizhe has always been riddled with scandals, but the idol filter is a problem, Cao Yuning still thinks that Liang Sizhe is a high flower in his eyes, and should not be associated with the word "secret love". Should I have a crush on another Gao Ling flower

Why is it Cao Ye? Cao Yuning muttered in a low voice, "I didn't see anything good about you."

This arrogant child was quite protective of Liang Sizhe, Cao Ye laughed angrily at him, and quarreled with Cao Yuning: "If you really see it, it's fine, why do you still want to incest with me? I I warn you, Cao Yuning, don't hit me."

"Who is going to hit you!" Cao Yuning was so excited by his words that he almost jumped up.

"Don't hit Liang Sizhe's idea again!"

Cao Yuning held his breath and sat on the edge of the bed with his neck tangled.

Seeing that Cao Yuning seemed to be really upset, Cao Ye stopped joking with him, but he felt that it was necessary to make it clear to Cao Yuning so that he would stop pestering Liang Sizhe. Judging from Liang Sizhe's reaction last night, he doesn't seem to want Cao Yuning to go to the crew again to cause trouble.

He tried his best to act like a cousin, put his heart to Cao Yuning, and tried to analyze Liang Sizhe's thoughts from the perspective of an adult man: "Okay, you and Liang Sizhe are not in the same rank at all, if he wants to play with you, That's really easy, it's so easy that he doesn't get started, it shows that he really has no interest in you at all."

Cao Yuning snorted lightly, obviously not convinced, Cao Ye said more seriously to dispel his thoughts of continuing to pester Liang Sizhe: "There are too many people rushing to sleep for Liang Sizhe, why should he condescend to follow him? A guy he's not interested in wasting his time..."

Halfway through his words, he heard footsteps in the living room. Are there other people in the room? Cao Ye raised his head and looked out of the house in surprise, and then his voice stopped - Liang Sizhe came over, leaned on the door frame and smiled at him: "You know me well, so tell me what rank I am?"

Cao Ye: "..."

"Go on, I'm also very interested," Liang Sizhe looked at him and smiled, "So, with such a high rank, Liang Sizhe would condescend to waste time with what kind of people?"

Cao Ye's momentum disappeared immediately, he clenched his fist against his lips and coughed, "... When did you come in?"

"Brother Si Zhe came before you woke up." Cao Yuning whispered.

"Oh...Is something wrong?" Cao Ye looked at Liang Sizhe as if nothing had happened, and changed the subject.

"It's alright to find you, I'll find Cao Yuning." Liang Sizhe didn't dwell on the words just now, but smiled, "I'm sorry, because the topic just turned to me, so I think if I don't stand up and call in time Breaking you up will make me seem a little unkind."

"Oh, it's alright... Then what, Cao Yuning, go over there." Cao Ye waved at Cao Yuning, indicating that he can retire.

Liang Sizhe left the bedroom first. Cao Yuning was about to get up and leave. Cao Ye stopped him from behind and lowered his voice: "Why didn't you tell me Liang Sizhe was outside?"

Cao Yuning looked at him innocently: "You didn't give me a chance to say it, as soon as I said Brother Si Zhe, you would blow up, okay..."

"Forget it, go over there," Cao Ye waved his hand weakly.

Cao Ye was the only one left in the room. Cao Ye leaned on the head of the bed, raised his hand and tugged at his hair.

You don't seem to say anything too much, do you

It must be true, right

There's nothing wrong with Liang Sizhe's expression, right

… except for a bit of a detriment to his own majesty.

Yes, majesty... Cao Yuning is usually no big or small with him, and he rarely pretends to be an older brother with Cao Yuning, so even though the two are seven years apart, Cao Ye often bickers with him, and sometimes deliberately annoys him he. Think it's a bit of a middle school.

Forget it... Forget it, Cao Ye ruffled his hair twice, leaned over and took the bedside phone, called the front desk, and asked the waiter to bring the clothes that were sent for dry cleaning last night.

Outside the bedroom door, Cao Yuning walked nervously in front of Liang Sizhe. He didn't know what Liang Sizhe did to him, but his intention to sleep with him last night must have been seen through...

Liang Sizhe opened his mouth, but he said something unimportant: "How much did you spend on ordering meals for the crew these days?"

Cao Yuning didn't react: "Huh?"

"Didn't you add me on WeChat last night? Go back and send me the card number."

"Ah?" Cao Yuning waved his hands hastily, "That's why I ordered meals for the crew without your consent..."

"I can't really ask you to invite me..." Liang Sizhe said while holding the phone, "Send it to me now."

At this time, Cao Ye pushed open the door and walked out, wearing a bathrobe from the hotel. When they went to the bathroom, two people who passed by the living room glanced at them: "No need to pay it back, he swiped my card for it."

"Well," Cao Yuning scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I asked for my brother's card."

Cao Ye walked to the door of the bathroom and put his fingers on the door handle: "Remember to return the card to me later, Cao Yuning." After speaking, he pushed the door and walked in.

"If that's the case, then forget it for now." Liang Sizhe put away his phone and asked Cao Yuning again, "I'm sorry about drinking you last night."

"Ah, it's alright, you said it too, it's my freedom to ask or not..." Cao Yuning said immediately, this morning, Liang Sizhe came specially to pay him back the money, and now apologize to himself, Cao Yu Ning felt that Liang Sizhe had returned to the altar in his mind.

The sound of water in the bathroom came, Cao Ye was taking a bath in it, Cao Yuning couldn't restrain his strong curiosity, hesitated for a few seconds, and then lowered his voice and asked Liang Sizhe, "Brother Sizhe, do you really have a crush on my brother?"

Liang Sizhe was lowering his head to reply to the news on WeChat. Hearing that, he raised his eyes and smiled at him. He didn't speak, and then lowered his eyes and continued typing back the news.

Cao Yuning wasn't sure what to pay attention to. Liang Sizhe smiled at him just now, with a hidden meaning that he couldn't explain. It was like the sentence "You really believe it" he said last night, and it was like he often dealt with the media. That "you guessed it".

"However, my brother is homophobic..." Cao Yuning said with some confusion.

"Homophobia?" Liang Sizhe's eyes moved from the screen to Cao Yuning's face.

Cao Yuning nodded in embarrassment, and hurriedly explained to himself: "I'm not making up nonsense... When I dined with Brother Lin Yan several times, Brother Lin Yan said it in front of us, and my brother didn't refute it, so I think It should be true…”

Liang Sizhe was thoughtful, but he didn't seem surprised: "Oh, I guessed it."

His tone was normal, and Cao Yuning was even more unsure if he was really interested in Cao Ye. He observed Liang Sizhe's expression and couldn't help but continue to inquire, "Then what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Liang Sizhe smiled.

When he asked this, Cao Yuning felt that he was talking too much. It seemed that Liang Sizhe didn't want to answer this question directly. He raised his hand and scratched his head: "Nothing..."

After Liang Sizhe left, Cao Yuning sat on the sofa, digesting the conversation with Liang Sizhe last night and this morning in a complicated mood. One moment he thought it was true, and another moment he thought he was overthinking.

Cao Ye pushed open the door and walked out, wiping his hair and asking, "Liang Sizhe is gone?"

"Well..." Cao Yuning looked at him.

"What's your expression?" Seeing Cao Yuning's tangled face and hesitant to speak, Cao Ye couldn't help teasing him again, "I said don't hit me, I'm homophobic, you know."

Cao Yuning's mood became more complicated: "...you can have some snacks, brother."

"Well, it's time for me to grow dim sum. Your dad was thinking about buying my company, but you actually swiped my card to chase Liang Sizhe with peace of mind." Cao Ye walked over to him and stretched out his hand, "Return the card to me."

Cao Yuning got up and went back to the room, and couldn't help but whisper, "How could Brother Si Zhe like you..."

Cao Ye only heard the three words "Brother Sizhe" clearly, and said behind him, "Brother Sizhe again, you can change to another brother."

"I think so too!" Cao Yuning said.

After having lunch in the hotel restaurant, when Cao Ye and Cao Yuning walked towards the elevator, the elevator door was about to close. Seeing that they couldn't catch the elevator, neither of them hurriedly accelerated their pace and walked forward unhurriedly.

But the next second, the elevator door opened on its own. When I walked in, Song Qingyan was standing at the elevator door, pressing the "open door" button with his fingers and waiting for them to come over. Liang Sizhe was standing in the back.

"It's such a coincidence," Cao Ye greeted Liang Sizhe, "Didn't you go to the crew this morning?"

"Well," Liang Sizhe said, "Pang Ying is here in the afternoon."

Cao Ye nodded and saw that Cao Yuning was touching the pockets of his trousers. After touching the front and back, he asked casually, "What are you looking for?"

"Did you steal my cigarette?!" Cao Yuning looked up at him with a firm tone.

"...Why should I steal yours if I own a cigarette?" Cao Ye said speechlessly, thinking that Cao Yuning's elbow was really turned outwards. Liang Sizhe was picked clean by him.

Cao Yuning obviously didn't believe it, and said in a plausible manner, "You didn't steal it, so where did my cigarettes go?"

Cao Ye leaned against the side wall of the elevator with his pocket in his hand, and was too lazy to pay attention to him: "I don't know."

"I stole it." Liang Sizhe spoke from the side.

Cao Yuning suddenly became agitated, and said indifferently, "Ah... Then, that's not called stealing..."

Cao Ye glanced at him: "Oh, putting it on me is called stealing, right?"

Cao Yuning was speechless. Song Qingyan couldn't help laughing.

Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at Cao Ye: "Did you bring a cigarette?"

"It's still smoking..." Cao Ye glanced at him, but did not move, "Save it."

But the next second Liang Sizhe put his hand into his pocket, Cao Ye's hand was empty holding the cigarette case, Liang Sizhe's palm touched the back of his hand, and before he could react, Liang Sizhe took the cigarette case from his hand. He took it out and threw it to Cao Yuning: "If it's not called stealing, then it's a loan, and I'll pay it back to you."

Cao Yuning instinctively raised his hand to catch it, then looked at Cao Ye with the pack of cigarettes.

Cao Ye looked at Liang Sizhe: "That seems to be my cigarette?"

"If you want to mind," Liang Sizhe also glanced at him sideways, "deduct it from the final payment of "The Darkest Choice"."

At this moment, the elevator descended to the parking lot on the basement floor. With a "ding", the door opened. Liang Sizhe straightened up from the elevator wall and walked out. Song Qingyan trotted after him.

Cao Ye also walked out. Cao Yuning looked down at the black cigarette case, and his mood became more complicated. He followed up and asked Cao Ye, "Brother, did you really give it to me?"

"Don't pay me back." Cao Ye extended his hand to him.

"I don't." Cao Yuning quickly put the cigarette back into his pocket.

Cao Ye's car was parked at the exit of the parking lot. He got out of the elevator and turned left. He still had to walk a dozen meters. He walked to the car and was about to open the door when he heard Liang Sizhe calling his name not far away: " Cao Ye."

Cao Ye turned his head and looked over. Liang Sizhe was sitting on the high chassis of the off-road vehicle, pressing down the window and looking at him. Cao Ye's hand let go of the door handle and stood up straight and waited for him to speak.

"I have a question that I want to ask you." Liang Sizhe opened the car door, jumped out of the car, stood not far away, looked at him and said.

Cao Ye walked over and stood in front of him: "What's the use of the word 'ask'?"

"About filming."

"What do you think."

"I'm wondering whether Scar's reaction should be more extreme in the scene where Qin Nanming was captured."

"The one I saw that day?"

"right."

Cao Ye was a little surprised, and then smiled: "You have won so many movie stars, so you can't be sure about your understanding of the role? Why do you need to ask me a layman."

"According to what you said, I should win the best actor every time," Liang Sizhe looked at him without changing his face, and didn't seem to intend to take back the question, "but the truth is, the film that I have not won the best actor is far better than the one that has won the best actor. Much more."

Liang Sizhe's tone of voice when he said this and the look in his eyes made Cao Ye unable to continue to perfunctory him. He recalled the plot in the film, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Are you comparing with Huang Qianshi's version? To be honest, although His version of the reaction is also very tense, but I think his reaction is a bit extreme, but Scar looks a little angry. In fact, for Scar, an extremely arrogant person like him should enjoy playing Qin Nanming on The feeling of a palm."

"I have the same idea," Liang Sizhe said, looking at him, "Thanks."

"If I have nothing else to do, then I'll go." Cao Ye said and was about to turn around and leave.

"Cao Ye, wait a minute." Liang Sizhe stopped him.

Cao Ye paused, waiting for his next sentence.

"Has the reconciliation succeeded?" Liang Sizhe looked directly into his eyes.

There were so many things in his eyes that he couldn't explain, and Cao Ye couldn't help but look away.

After a pause, he raised his hand and stretched out in front of Liang Sizhe, then raised his eyes to look at him.

Liang Sizhe smiled and held his hand.

No one spoke, but they all knew that it was over.

When he got back to the car, Cao Yuning, who had been looking outside, turned his head to look at Cao Ye, and curiously asked Liang Sizhe what he was looking for.

"Discussing the role." Cao Ye said.

"Really?" Cao Yuning obviously didn't believe it. "Why would he ask you to discuss roles? You haven't acted before."

"How do I know, you ask him." Cao Ye pulled the seat belt buckle, thinking that I really almost wanted to act. Not only that, he and Liang Sizhe discussed roles more than once in Yin 4th Street.

"What do you think Xiaoman's feelings for Peng Yan are?"

"It should be a little envious."

"Envy? It seems to be a little bit, should there be gratitude?"

"Well, grateful, curious, I'm wondering... if there's still love."

"Ah?" The young man was stunned, "Where did you see it? Peng Yan is married..."

Cao Ye suddenly thought of the scene where they were on the roof. Liang Sizhe sat on the edge of the roof and put his legs down. Cao Ye was really afraid that he would fall off.

He remembered Liang Sizhe blinking, his eyelashes moving up and down.

Yin 4th Street, Lanyan, Rooftop, that's really a long time ago...
