Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe walked to the door to see him off, and as soon as the door closed, the atmosphere immediately changed.
Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye, Cao Ye's face was expressionless, his head was slightly lowered, and he was still holding the handheld camera in his hand. He always had a three-pointed smile on his face, but now he suddenly stopped laughing, his shoulders slumped, and he didn't have the lively energy he usually had on weekdays, and he seemed to be in a terrible mood.
Liang Sizhe sighed in his heart, this lie still failed to be fulfilled in the end, maybe he should have done better at the beginning, such as stringing a word with Zheng Yin or something, but he couldn't harass Zheng Yin because of this kind of thing.
The two walked back in tandem, sitting face to face on their respective beds.
"Then what..."
"Liang Sizhe."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he collided, and at the same time he closed his mouth.
"You said." Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye.
Cao Ye raised his eyes and looked at him: "So the air conditioner isn't something my dad wanted to find someone to fix, right?"
Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that he might be able to struggle a bit: "It's really what your dad told me that morning, if you don't believe it..."
"I believe you are a ghost." Cao Ye interrupted him, tilting his head and whispering, "This is really a man's mouth, a man's mouth... What's the next sentence?"
The proprietress kept repeating these words a few days ago. Cao Ye probably sounded interesting, and he repeated it twice at the time, but now he can't catch the second half of the sentence. Seeing that Cao Ye was still in the mood to recite this sentence, Liang Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief and joked with him, "Aren't you a man?"
"I haven't lied to anyone." Cao Ye retorted, looking up at Liang Sizhe, "So the air conditioner is actually yours, right?"
This lie is meaningless if it goes on, Liang Sizhe can only admit it and say, "Well..."
"So he never asked me if I was hot or not?" Before Liang Sizhe could speak, he followed up, "Don't lie."
"This..." Liang Sizhe looked at him for two seconds, then reluctantly replied, "Well."
Cao Ye immediately lowered his head and said dejectedly: "So he didn't buy me the breakfast that day at all." This time, there were no questions.
"This is not..." Liang Sizhe quickly explained, "He did buy the breakfast, and he specifically told me to bring it to you."
Cao Ye leaned down, put his elbows on his thighs, and covered his face with his hands: "You still want to lie to me."
Now even the real thing has turned into a fake. Liang Sizhe smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe it, you can call your dad about breakfast."
"You know I can't fight."
Liang Sizhe sat across from him, looking at him worriedly, with a critical credit score, Cao Ye probably wouldn't believe what he said now.
"Liar ghost." Cao Ye said after a while.
"Um?"
"I remember the second half of the sentence." Cao Ye muttered.
After Liang Sizhe reacted, he burst out laughing out of nowhere. He looked at the top of his head facing Cao Ye on the opposite side, as well as the little swirl in the center. He thought to himself, how can this child be so cute when he is angry...
"Your dad came over that day..." Liang Sizhe was about to say something to comfort Cao Ye, but Cao Ye interrupted him immediately.
"Don't talk for him!"
"I'm not speaking for him, I don't need to take it upon myself for what he does, and your dad isn't indifferent to you either, he—"
"Don't comfort me!" Cao Ye said again.
Liang Sizhe didn't know what to say, and he didn't want the comfort of others when he was sad. Seeing that Cao Ye had been burying his face, he tentatively leaned over to look at him: "... Are you crying?"
"You just cried!" Cao Ye still didn't look up, but there was no crying sound in his voice, "Don't comfort me, it's too embarrassing, I should have guessed it long ago, how could he have thought of putting an air conditioner on me? He was even angry about Uncle Yin ordering me a meal, how could he put an air conditioner on me, and he didn't know if I was afraid of the heat..."
Liang Sizhe was both distressed and funny. He wanted to coax him and tease him. The two ideas clashed in his mind. Finally, when he looked at Cao Ye with his face buried in the opposite direction, he couldn't help but want to tease him. It's so cute, I can't stop laughing.
Perhaps the effect of teasing is better than comforting, Liang Sizhe guessed. He thought about it and said, "That... I didn't want to comfort you, I wanted to say something else."
"Then tell me." Cao Ye was relieved.
"I meant to say..." Liang Sizhe stopped deliberately in the middle of the sentence, and Liang Sizhe knew what was the most appetizing.
Cao Ye really took the bait. After waiting for a while, he didn't see the other half of the sentence. He raised his head from the palm of his hand and asked, "Huh?"
Liang Sizhe then looked at him and said solemnly, "Actually, you can also call me dad, I don't mind."
"...You go away!" Cao Ye really exploded. But it doesn't look really angry, like a cat that scratches its paws after being teased.
"Just kidding." Liang Sizhe laughed.
"Oops!" Cao Ye suddenly shouted. Then I took the handheld camera that was still on the side, lowered my head and turned off the video, and clicked playback, "Forgot to turn it off, I just recorded a lot of empty footage, I want to delete this part."
"Don't delete it." Liang Sizhe stopped, "Do you want to keep a memory?"
"What's there to keep..." Cao Ye muttered, "Shame."
The phone on the bed vibrated, Liang Sizhe took it over to take a look, Zheng Yin sent a text message: "Sizhe go downstairs, don't call Xiao Ye."
"Uncle Yin asked me to go down, probably to ask about the air conditioner," Liang Sizhe stood up, "don't delete it."
"Understood." Cao Ye replied reluctantly, but he still didn't delete that paragraph. He turned off the camera and put it aside, and continued to sit on the bed with his shoulders slumped and startled.
Zheng Yin went downstairs a while ago. First, he asked the proprietress about the air conditioner, but nothing came out. Liang Sizhe did a good job in this scene, and even the proprietress insisted that "Director Cao asked someone to come to safety".
Zheng Yin opened the door and got in the car. He had already started the engine, and then stepped on the brakes to turn off the car—why did Liang Sizhe do this? How did you think of installing an air conditioner in the room in the name of Cao Xiuyuan? If it's just to comfort a friend out of good intentions, it's really troublesome. How many lies will it take to go back and forth...
And Liang Sizhe's impression on him is not like a character who would spend a little more thought for unrelated people... That child has a very unique personality, Zheng Yin can see it. Then, the scene of two people sitting side by side on the opposite bed just now flashed before his eyes, and a strange feeling flashed across his mind. It seemed that they were two teenagers with very different personalities. When they just sat in front of him, they actually gave him an inexplicable similar feeling. …
He had to talk to Liang Sizhe. Zheng Yin touched a cigarette, lit it, took a breath, and then took out his mobile phone and sent a message. He wanted to test Liang Sizhe's thoughts, whether it was a big deal or a small one, but if he really misleads Cao Ye, he can't explain it to Cao Xiuyuan - if you want to enter the entertainment industry, the road to homosexuality is not good. Walk.
Liang Sizhe came down from the upstairs, Zheng Yin was waiting for him by the side of the car smoking a cigarette, strands of white smoke filled half of his face.
Seeing him coming, Zheng Yin straightened up, threw the cigarette into the trash can, and walked back to look at the young man in front of him: "Isn't Xiao Ye aware of the air conditioner?"
"I found it." Liang Sizhe said truthfully.
"What's his reaction?" Zheng Yin asked, looking at his face, the gentle temperament just now disappeared again, and Liang Sizhe who stood in front of him was still like a sharp blade.
"It's been a while, but it's okay now." Liang Sizhe said.
"It can be imagined..." Zheng Yin smiled, "Sorry, I didn't expect you to install the air conditioner in advance. How could you think of finding someone to install the air conditioner in the name of Director Cao?"
His tone was normal, as if he was asking casually, but Liang Sizhe immediately felt a sense of alertness in his heart, which even he felt a little inexplicable, he didn't tell the truth, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I'm afraid of the heat, so I'll find it myself. The person installed the air conditioner, and the time was just in time for the day Director Cao came, so he sold his favor, but I didn't expect you to see it."
Zheng Yin glanced at him, the boy was still too tender, he thought he could hide it from himself, but in his opinion he was trying to hide it... After all, he was still a young man who had not had much contact with the world.
"I didn't expect you to sell your favor," he smiled and tapped calmly, "Xiao Ye is Director Cao's only son, so it's not a loss to sell your favor, but he is still young and doesn't understand anything. Your favor, I'm afraid it will be sold in vain." Every sentence was sidelined, he thought that Liang Sizhe should understand what he meant.
Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it, it would have been easy to do."
"However, since I found out," Zheng Yin raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I took the favor for him, and I will find a chance to pay you back when I look back."
"Thank you, Uncle Yin," Liang Sizhe said, "then I'll go upstairs."
Zheng Yin watched him go upstairs, pondered for a while, and did not let the proprietress open another room to move them away. Looking at Liang Sizhe's cautious and cautious attitude, it didn't seem like he would say it casually.
In that case, let him hide, who doesn't hide something in his heart... Zheng Yin walked to the side of the car, opened the door and sat in.
Liang Sizhe walked up the stairs and stood outside the door for a while before pushing the door in. He couldn't even explain why he lied just now. It would be fine if he told the truth. What was he thinking about...
Zheng Yin's words were also a bit strange, as if there was a layer of screened windows, he wanted to get closer to see clearly, but he was afraid of seeing pictures he didn't want to see.
I don't want to think deeply.
Don't even think about it.
Pushing the door and entering the room, Cao Ye was still sitting in his original position, looking like he was stunned. He recovered when he heard the door slamming and looked up at Liang Sizhe: "What did Uncle Yin want you to do?"
"Just asking about the air conditioner." Liang Sizhe closed the door and walked in.
"Oh." Cao Ye said. Liang Sizhe felt that he was not very happy. Cao Ye rarely concealed his emotions. He always had a smile on his face. But now he is taciturn and sullen, which is enough to prove that he is really unhappy now.
I was discussing the script in the afternoon a few days ago. Today, Cao Ye said that he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while, but he had just slept at noon.
He slept on his stomach with his face turned and the back of his head facing Liang Sizhe, except when Cao Xiuyuan came two months ago, he has never slept in this position since then.
Liang Sizhe felt that he might have screwed up, and maybe Cao Ye didn't want to be deceived by such self-righteous good intentions.
He sat on the bed, flipping through the script absentmindedly, and glanced at Cao Ye every once in a while. Not thinking about the script, he couldn't help but start to wonder, what kind of feeling does Cao Ye have for Cao Xiuyuan? When Cao Ye talked about Cao Xiuyuan in front of him, he actually sounded a little proud, not the kind of show-off pride, but the pride in his heart that Cao Xiuyuan was powerful, but he never called Cao Xiuyuan, as if he was a little scared... Worship and awe, Liang Sizhe thought, probably such feelings.
So for Cao Ye, he is actually eager to get the approval of Cao Xiuyuan, right? In fact, the role of Xiaoman is not insignificant to him, right
He looked at Cao Ye, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Could Cao Ye have also thought about being a blockbuster in front of his father Cao Xiuyuan with the role of Xiaoman
If this role meant nothing to him, how could he obediently lie on the bed and read the script on the night when he had a conflict with Cao Xiuyuan
At that time, he was actually holding a breath in his heart.
He wanted to prove that he was not a scumbag who did nothing in the eyes of Cao Xiuyuan.
This child is also hiding something in his heart, although he never shows it.
What Cao Ye wants is not just an air conditioner, what he really needs is Cao Xiuyuan's approval and concern. So the role of Xiaoman was very important to him, but he easily gave it to himself.
Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye's back and thought, Xiaoman is yours, born for you, and it should be done by you. Go play him and prove your father wrong.
But after a while, Liang Sizhe made a secret decision in his heart. He thought that he would leave quietly before the audition and return Xiaoman to Cao Ye. As for himself, fate should have its own arrangements.
