Liang Sizhe straightened up from the door frame and gave Cao Ye a position to enter and exit the room.

Cao Ye walked in with him and changed his slippers at the entrance. When he changed his shoes, he felt that the excuse he just made was really stupid. What a dog, just come and pick up the car. The ready-made reason was in front of him, but he didn't think of it for a while.

But when I think of Liang Sizhe's "scolding people", I think it's funny. This person has been attacked like that by public opinion, and he is still in the mood to make a joke. Is he pretending to be relaxed or is he used to it

"When did you get up?" Liang Sizhe looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

When he asked, Cao Ye felt that he was really hungry. After waking up, he hadn't eaten anything, so he called the driver directly. He didn't feel very hungry at first, but when Liang Sizhe mentioned it, he suddenly felt that he was so hungry that his chest was on his back.

"No, I'll go back to eat later." Cao Ye said while changing his shoes.

Liang Sizhe didn't speak, walked over to the sofa, bent over and took the phone, turned around and went to a room.

There were faint voices in the house, it should be Liang Sizhe calling. - Who do you talk to on the phone? Does Liang Sizhe have a girlfriend? This thought flashed through Cao Ye's mind.

After changing his shoes, as soon as Cao Ye turned around, Xiao Xiaobai stood a few steps away, staring at him. It wasn't as crazy as Caesar back then. It didn't pounce directly, but just stood there, wagging its tail tentatively at him. It seems that the character is still more like Xiaobai.

Cao Ye took two steps towards it, squatted down, raised his hand and touched its head. Although he is a stringer, he looks quite majestic, and he is well raised by Liang Sizhe, and his hair looks smooth and smooth.

The dog's tail wagged a little more cheerfully, and he seemed to like him.

Cao Ye stood up and tried to walk a few steps. Xiao Xiaobai followed him, but he was always two steps away from him, as if he wanted to come closer, but he was a little scared. He looks very good, looks like Caesar, and has a personality like Xiaobai.

Cao Ye raised his head and glanced. Liang Sizhe was still talking on the phone in the room, so he should not have heard anything in the living room. He crouched down again, lowered his voice, looked at the pair of round black eyes in front of him and called out, "Little Xiaobai. "

This name was quite naive back then, and after calling out, he felt that he was a bit out of character, but he still couldn't help but stretched out his arms and hooked his palms at Xiao Xiaobai: "Come here."

Xiao Xiaobai didn't move, just stood there and looked at him.

Cao Ye half-squatted and took two steps towards it, and said softly, "You don't know me, do you? It's me who gave you your name."

Xiao Xiaobai is quite human. I don't know if he understands what he said or if he just likes him more. He approaches him and sniffs at his neck. His ears rubbed against Cao Ye's chin, letting him feel a little itchy.

Cao Ye really likes small animals, and Xiaoxiaobai has an indissoluble bond with him. He raised his hand around the back of Xiaoxiaobai's neck, rubbed it hard, and looked down at him: "What are you sniffing? I raised it before. Your father, he fed your mother, did you smell it?"

Xiao Xiaobai made a "woohoo" sound in his throat, and arched towards him again.

At this time, Liang Sizhe opened the door and walked out of the room. Cao Ye immediately fell silent, rubbed the hair on the back of Xiao Xiaobai's neck, and didn't speak to it again. In front of Liang Sizhe, it seemed silly to talk to a dog.

Liang Sizhe came over, patted Xiao Xiaobai's head, and looked at Cao Ye: "Go to the sofa and sit, how tired you are from squatting."

Cao Ye responded, let go of Xiao Xiaobai, stood up and walked towards the sofa, Xiao Xiaobai also followed him, lying on his bed.

Cao Ye sat on the sofa, teasing the dog on the surface, but he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

The matter of public opinion cannot be mentioned. Anyone who is labeled as a drug addict will be very embarrassed. I don't want to add trouble to Liang Sizhe.

He didn't want to talk about the bar, and he couldn't even explain why he insisted on opening such an underground bar on Yin 4th Street.

He thought about it and asked, "Why didn't you sleep?"

Liang Sizhe leaned on the back of the sofa, looking relaxed, his tone dragged a little lazily: "I just wanted to sleep, isn't that you coming here?"

Cao Ye turned his face to look at him: "Did I disturb your rest, I just came to pick up the car, let's go now, you can sleep." Then he let go of Xiao Xiaobai and wanted to get up.

"Hey, don't go," Liang Sizhe stopped him, raised his hand and pressed his wrist, "It's more important for you to come here, do you want to sleep? You can sleep anytime, no hurry." The hand only touched Cao Ye's wrist. The wrist was retracted, like a simple touch between friends, not beyond the norm.

What I said, people couldn't take it, I couldn't say what was wrong, but it just didn't sound right. Cao Ye didn't like Liang Sizhe's words very much, as if he had to force himself to follow his words and think in a certain direction.

He pretended to be at ease with a smile: "What's so important for me to come here, you didn't sleep for a long time the night before the night scene, and last night you helped me deal with the bar thing and didn't sleep all night, in my opinion, it's better to sleep more important."

"Cao Ye." Liang Sizhe leaned forward, his elbows on his thighs, and turned his face to look at Cao Ye.

When his voice sank and called the word "Cao Ye", Cao Ye's heart beat for no reason, but his tone was still pretending to be calm: "Huh?"

"I went to Yinsi last night. Do you want to talk about that bar?"

Cao Ye put his hand back on the back of Xiaoxiaobai's neck again, and touched it twice: "...let's talk about something else." He said it bluntly, for fear that Liang Sizhe would force himself to explain why he had to be like Yinsi. Open a bar on the old site.

But he didn't expect Liang Sizhe to follow him with a good temper: "Okay, then we won't talk about this, we will talk about it when you want to talk. By the way, how is Caesar?"

"I don't know," Cao Ye said. "It was given away a few years ago."

Liang Sizhe nodded and asked again, "Do you want to know what happened to Xiaobai?"

Cao Ye turned his face and looked up at him.

"It's gone," Liang Sizhe said, "It happened four years ago, Qin Yizhuang, do you still remember? I asked him to help me take care of Xiaobai when Yinsi was the resident singer in that bar, and once Xiaobai ran away by himself. On the street, he was accidentally hit by a car and left on the spot."

Cao Ye didn't respond, his palm fell on Xiaobai's head, he swallowed his throat, and his Adam's apple moved.

It's still sad to hear the news that I've been late for a few years. In a blink of an eye, Caesar and Xiaobai are doing bad things in broad daylight. The picture of him and Liang Sizhe squatting against the wall and eating ice cream seems to have happened just yesterday.

Liang Sizhe looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Bai and Caesar, do you still feel disgusted when you think about it now?"

"I haven't thought about it anymore," Cao Ye said, looking down at Xiao Xiaobai, "It's all in the past, I rarely think about it."

Liang Sizhe nodded and did not continue to speak.

Cao Ye stood up: "I have to make a record, you can sleep, I won't disturb you."

"Let's go now?" Liang Sizhe looked up at him, "Don't you want to play with Xiao Xiaobai for a while? I think you like it quite a bit."

Cao Ye looked down, and Xiao Xiaobaiwo was lying on his leg, biting his trousers lightly with his teeth: "Is it sleepy too? It doesn't seem to be in good spirits."

"How lively do you expect a ten-year-old dog?" Liang Sizhe smiled, leaned down and pinched Xiao Bai's face, "It's also old, it used to be quite energetic." He stood up and walked towards the door , "Cao Ye, come here."

Cao Ye followed him to the door for unknown reasons. Liang Sizhe tapped a few times on the electronic screen on the wall beside the door, turned to look at him, and said, "If you want, you can record a fingerprint, and you want to see it later. , come over at any time. He had a stomach problem a year ago, and when he went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that he would not have long to live. "

Cao Ye looked back at Xiao Xiaobai, who was lying on the floor and didn't follow him, and then at Liang Sizhe. He thought that Liang Sizhe might be very sad, but he couldn't see a trace of sadness on Liang Sizhe's face. Liang Sizhe's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

What is Liang Sizhe thinking? He seems to be indifferent to everything, the vitriolic slander and abuse on the Internet, the sudden death of Xiaobai four years ago, and the imminent departure of Xiaobai who has been with him for ten years soon.

He seems to be deliberately hiding his emotions, and when those emotions are so full that they can't be hidden and overflowing, he will occasionally reveal a trace of vulnerability.

Cao Ye raised his hand and pressed his index finger on the display screen. After pressing it three times, the fingerprint was recorded into the system with a beep.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Song Qingyan's face was displayed on the screen behind the door: "Brother Si Zhe, it's me."

Liang Sizhe raised his hand to open the door, and took the pocket in Song Qingyan's hand: "It's quite timely."

"Hey, is it in time?" Song Qingyan also laughed, "I was at the gate of the community when you called, and was about to come in to give you the contract. I heard that I wanted to buy vegetables, so I asked Brother Chen to drive to the nearby one. Supermarket, Brother Sizhe, haven't you eaten at the company at noon?" Halfway through the sentence, she turned to see Cao Ye who was standing beside her, "Mr. Cao is also here." Even though she said that, her tone didn't change. How surprised.

"I have a guest, I have to entertain." Liang Sizhe smiled.

"You will serve the guests with a bowl of noodles..."

"Listen to what this is saying? The guests haven't made any comments yet, so you should stop me from coming to the stage." Liang Sizhe smiled and looked at Cao Ye, "Is it okay to have a bowl of noodles?"

"What's next?" Cao Ye glanced at the thing in his hand and responded, "Do it for me?"

"if not?"

Song Qingyan suddenly felt that staying here seemed a bit unnecessary: "Then... I will withdraw the items after they are delivered. Brother Sizhe, you should look at the contract first, and I will come back and pick it up later."

Liang Sizhe replied "Okay", Song Qingyan consciously closed the door outside.

"Eat something light. I drank so much last night." Liang Sizhe glanced at Cao Ye.

"You can cook?" Cao Ye looked at him strangely.

"You've never watched my films, have you?" Liang Sizhe smiled, turned and walked towards the kitchen, "I've made noodles many times in 'Red Boys and Red Girls', and I've also cooked dishes, so it's easy to know. "

"Then, let me help you." Cao Ye followed.

"No, it's all half-finished products that have been washed and bought. You can go to the living room to play with Xiao Xiaobai."

"Oh..." Cao Ye responded, but stood at the kitchen door and didn't move.

Liang Sizhe moved very skillfully. He took the water in the pot and put it on the induction cooker to boil. Then he took two eggs from the refrigerator and a bowl from the kitchen cabinet. He held the egg with one hand and gently touched the edge of the bowl. Knock, the egg whites and yolks fall into the bowl.

"Do you often cook by yourself?" Cao Ye leaned against the door frame and watched Liang Sizhe's cooking action, which was actually quite pleasing to the eye, and the words Cao Yuning said suddenly flashed in his mind: "Have you seen "Wangchuan" "The River"? His figure in that play is absolutely amazing, he's just my heavenly dish!" - If nothing else, Cao Yuning's vision is not bad.

"When I'm not filming, I usually do it myself." Liang Sizhe said. When the water in the pot boiled, he put his face in and stirred it twice with chopsticks.

Cao Ye suddenly felt that the ordinary scene in front of him was quite dramatic.

All kinds of rumors spread all over the city, but the protagonist of the incident stayed at home calmly, and was able to order a bowl of noodles calmly.

This is going to be another piece of news.

The noodles were ready soon, Liang Sizhe picked up the pot, poured the noodles into a bowl, and brought them to the dining table.

With green vegetables and a poached egg on top, this steaming bowl of noodles looks quite appetizing.

"Eat." Liang Sizhe said, "I went upstairs to sleep." After speaking, he took a tissue from the table to wipe his hands, and then walked towards the stairs.

"Okay," Cao Ye responded, turning to look at him, "That... Liang Sizhe, for the bar, thank you."

Liang Sizhe was walking to the stairs when he heard the words and looked back at him: "How are you going to thank me?"

Cao Ye was stunned for a moment: "Why thank you all, you mention it."

"I'll mention it..." Liang Sizhe smiled at him, "It's going to be a long time in the future, I'll think about it when I look back, you can remember this."

"Okay." Cao Ye responded, bowing his head and taking a mouthful of noodles. The warm noodles slid down the esophagus, and the internal organs that had been spoiled by alcohol all night seemed to return to their places in an instant.

Liang Sizhe walked upstairs to the bedroom, stopped on the second floor, put his arms on the stairs and looked down at Cao Ye: "After dinner, you can play with Xiao Xiaobai for a while, I'm sleeping on the second floor, you just follow It speaks, I can't hear it."

"What did I tell it..." Cao Ye looked up at him, "I'm not that naive."

"Is it naive?" Liang Sizhe laughed, "I often talk to it."

"say what?"

"Say I have a friend named Cao Ye, and he gave you the name."

He just said this, Cao Ye thought to himself, he looked up at Liang Sizhe, and then asked, "What else did you say?"

"Also said, he raised your father and fed your mother."

Cao Ye: "..." Isn't this what he just said? Actually, Liang Sizhe heard everything without missing a word...

"You did it on purpose, Liang Sizhe?" Cao Ye gritted his teeth.

"I'm afraid I'll hear you talking to the dog," Liang Sizhe looked down at him and smiled, "Cao Ye, you are so cute." After speaking, he straightened up and pushed the door into the bedroom on the second floor.
