Zhu Qingyue returned to the club dormitory in a daze, and stood in front of the mirror. He was wearing a low-neck sweater today, and the hickey on his neck could not be covered. If his teammates saw him, he didn't know how to explain it. In addition, his eyes are red and his face is pale at the moment, and there is something wrong at first glance... The teammates are not stupid. He will definitely attract suspicion when he goes to the training room with his appearance. Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue simply sent another text message to Qin Mo: "Captain, no Excuse me, can I continue to ask for leave tonight?"
Qin Mo quickly replied: "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
Zhu Qingyue made up an excuse: "I ran into my uncle at the company. I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to have a meal together. Maybe I won't be back until later."
"Okay, be careful when you come back at night." After putting down the phone, Qin Mo rubbed his chin with his fingers thoughtfully, and looked out the window.
Xiao Han poured a cup of coffee and handed it to him, stood beside him and asked, "Are you here to watch the night scene?"
Qin Mo took a sip of the coffee, and whispered in Xiao Han's ear, "I just saw Qingyue walk into the club, but he sent me a text message to ask for leave, saying that he had dinner with his uncle and would not be back tonight. "
Xiao Han was stunned: "You mean Qingyue is lying?"
Qin Mo nodded: "Well, I didn't expose him, so don't talk too much... He may have encountered a problem and didn't want us to know."
Xiao Han thought for a while and said, "When Chu Yan appeared in the advertisement today, Qingyue's expression froze. Is it because the knot between master and apprentice has not been resolved yet?"
"I guessed that way too." Qin Mo glanced at Xiao Han and said, "We can't get involved in this matter, we still have to rely on Qing Yue to solve it. Let's organize training first."
Qin Mo turned and returned to his seat, Xiao Han followed him back to the computer, and called other teammates to continue to the arena.
…
In the dormitory, Zhu Qingyue was taking a bath with hot water on, and the marks on his body became redder and redder, looking shocking.
Thinking of the scene of being pressed on the bed by Chu Yan and wantonly kissing today, the strong sense of shame in his heart made Zhu Qingyue wish to peel off this layer of skin.
After washing, the skin all over her body was red, and those hickey marks finally faded, Zhu Qingyue dried her body, turned around and went back to the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
At this moment, the phone suddenly lit up, and when I looked down, there were many unread messages swiping the screen.
Zhu Qingyue picked up the phone to unlock the screen, opened WeChat, and it was all messages from Chu Yan——
"Are you at the club?"
"When the time comes, I'm worried about you."
"I'm sorry, Qingyue, I was wrong today."
"It doesn't matter if you ignore me in the future, but please give me a reply and tell me that you arrived at the dormitory safely, okay?"
Zhu Qingyue's eyes became hot, and he typed a few words with trembling hands: "I'm here..."
Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately replied: "That's good. Don't think too much, get a good sleep, and forget about it."
—You said it easily, can you forget it after sleeping? !
That was his first kiss. At that time, his mind was blank and his mouth was numb. He felt as if he was going to be eaten by Chu Yan. Zhu Qingyue still remembers that kind of strong, exciting and spine-tingling kiss. . Later, I was kissed by Chu Yan again, in a fully awake state, as gentle as a dragonfly on water...
Zhu Qingyue thumped his head hard to get rid of these messy memories, sat down at the table and turned on the laptop.
He has never been in love, and he has no idea what to do when he is confessed by his respected master. After thinking about it, Zhu Qingyue simply registered an account called "Head hurts", and posted a post on a large domestic irrigation forum: "Today I was confessed to by my respected master and even kissed by him. I am very confused. I know what to do, can everyone give me some advice? Do I want to break up with him? Remarks: Both he and I are men."
As soon as the post was posted, many onlookers immediately responded—
1L: Catch a white and tender landlord alive! Newly registered account, it seems that this is true
2L: Sir, it can be seen from your hesitation that you are not willing to break up with Master!
3L: Upstairs +1, if you really want to break up the relationship, you will come to the forum to ask
4L: Excuse me, the host, is he the one who kissed you forcibly
My head hurts: Well, the kiss came suddenly, and I didn't even react...
6L: Wow, forced kiss! So you didn't beat him
7L: Exactly! If you are forced to kiss someone you hate, you will be slapped on the spot! You also said that you were in a mess, and you still posted on the forum for help? Actually, you don't hate him kissing you, do you
8L: If someone hates me and kisses me forcefully, I will hit him with my fist until he knelt down and shouted for help! The landlord didn't do anything, which means he doesn't hate it.
My head hurts: No, I have a very good relationship with my master. He helped me a lot when I was young and took good care of me. It can be said that without him, I would not be where I am today. I actually respect him very much in my heart, how could I beat him up
10L: He was nice to you before, so he kissed you forcibly and didn't resist? Landlord Baozi!
11L: You respect him so much and he treats you like this, he is a scum! Why are you being polite to him
12L: Your master still bullies you because he is old and disrespectful, next time you see him, just hit him with your fist!
13L: It is suggested that the host should carry an electric baton in his pocket, point the baton at his head, and see if he dares to bully you
My head hurts: Don’t get me wrong, my master is not the kind of perverted old man who molests his disciples. He is very young, only four years older than me. I recognized him as my master when I was fifteen, and it has been many years now. He didn't deliberately bully me, he had been pretending very well before, but this time he had a fever and was confused, so he kissed me in a daze, and by the way, he opened the conversation... What should I do
14L: The poster has been subconsciously defending Master. Isn’t it obvious how good it is to read Master between the lines
15L: You call him a scumbag of the master, but he speaks for the master, yo, this partiality!
16L: Everyone also suggested that the poster should beat someone up, but the poster obviously can't do that! If you are kissed once, you can't let it go. If you are kissed the second or third time, you will get used to it.
17L: Steamed stuffed bun! Identification is completed!
18L: Let's break up, I wish the host happiness.
19L: If you don't want to beat up Master, you don't want to break up your friendship, so let's stay with Master, don't hesitate! I wish the landlord happiness!
20L: I wish the host and the master love each other O(∩_∩)O~
Zhu Qingyue couldn't help being stunned when he saw the netizens' replies. He came to the forum to ask for help because he was so upset and went to the doctor in a hurry. As a result, the netizens on the forum said he was Baozi...
Of course, he knew what Baozi meant. He was the kind of weak person who didn't dare to resist after being bullied, but Zhu Qingyue was not. If someone else treated him like this, he would have beaten him to the ground long ago. . But that person is his master, the master who single-handedly trained him to be a world-class assistant. That person took good care of him for many years, turning him from a crying little boy into a responsible Captain Qingmu. Without Chu Yan, he would not be where he is today.
How could he beat Chu Yan? Wouldn't that be "rebellious"
In his heart, Chu Yan's status is no lower than that of his cousin's family who raised him...
All the posts on the forum became "I wish the landlord happiness", and Zhu Qingyue shut down the webpage in embarrassment, feeling a little dazed for a while.
If he was more decisive, he should actually break up with Chu Yan. But what happened to the deep reluctance in my heart? When he thought that he would never see Chu Yan again, he felt extremely sad.
…
That night, Zhu Qingyue didn't sleep well, and his eyes were still a little red when he woke up in the morning, but it was much better than yesterday, and he took care of himself in the mirror.
After breakfast, Zhu Qingyue consciously came to the training room. Qin Mo greeted him when he saw him, "Qingyue is early."
Zhu Qingyue smiled as calmly as possible: "Morning, do you want to continue playing ranked this morning?"
Xiao Han came over and said: "Qingyue, you don't need to train with everyone for the time being. You will go to Qingyang Company today and tomorrow. Manager Meng just called me. Your commercial shooting plan has been released and will be finished within two days. "
Zhu Qingyue was startled: "Should I go alone?"
"Well, the following video commercials will be shot in batches. You shoot first, then Sister Xiang and Ah Hong, and Xiaomo and I will shoot at the end." Xiao Han paused and asked, "How about I drive you there? ?”
Zhu Qingyue hurriedly said: "Don't bother, I'll take a taxi by myself, don't delay the training."
Qin Mo reminded: "Then be careful on the road, it's raining outside today, remember to bring an umbrella."
Zhu Qingyue nodded, turned around and went back to the dormitory to tidy up, found a white turtleneck sweater and put it on, put on a blue coat, picked up the umbrella and turned to go out.
The temperature outside was colder than he had imagined. Zhu Qingyue pulled up the collar of his coat to wrap himself up, waved a taxi and headed to the company headquarters.
Manager Meng was waiting for him in the lobby and took him to the third floor. The studio was set up yesterday, and the two-dimensional single photo was taken. Today is a short video. The girl from the advertising company enthusiastically described the scene to Zhu Qingyue, and Zhu Qingyue listened carefully.
The focus of the short video will be on the brand-new touch-screen control panel. Zhu Qingyue needs to sit in front of the computer to control it personally. The commercial shooting will focus on his fingers and the blue streamer of the control panel. The camera will gradually change from Move your hand up to bring out his smiling face, and then transfer it to the computer screen, which happens to be the game screen of Dubu Jianghu. The action Zhu Qingyue needs to do is very simple - use your fingers to manipulate the LCD panel yourself, and just put a smile on your face.
It's much easier to just play games and perform in person than to shoot couple photos with models yesterday. This plan was checked by Chu Yan. Could it be that he simplified the shooting plan because he knew that he would not do too difficult movements? Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue couldn't help feeling a little complicated.
Seeing that Zhu Qingyue was in a daze, Meng Ke couldn't help but reminded with a smile: "Qingyue, go and change clothes."
Zhu Qingyue came back to his senses, and said embarrassedly: "Can I just wear this sweater? This is also a new dress I just bought a while ago..."
Meng Ke said: "You are a turtleneck sweater. If you wear a low collar that exposes your collarbone, you will look more masculine. Yesterday's new dress was specially bought for this commercial shoot. It turned out very well."
Zhu Qingyue's expression was very embarrassing. Although the hickey on the collarbone was very shallow, it could still be seen on closer inspection. With so many people present, he couldn't be said to be bitten by a mosquito in the winter, right
When I was in a dilemma, I heard a deep voice from behind: "It's raining and it's too cold today, so I don't need to change clothes. Let's take a picture first to see the effect. The low-necked dress will be filmed on location another day."
It was Chu Yan's voice, which was slightly hoarse due to the cold.
Zhu Qingyue immediately turned his head and looked away nervously.
Chu Yan walked over slowly, and said to Meng Ke: "Since this scene is a real performance, there is no need to embarrass him too much about clothes."
Meng Ke smiled: "Okay, let's take a picture first."
The photographer and prop master started working immediately. Zhu Qingyue sat in front of the computer and logged in to his account, and began to operate the LCD panel. However, due to restlessness, his account Mingyue Qingkong stepped on the air and fell off the cliff.
The camera is taking pictures of his fingers. The young man's long and slender fingers are a little unnaturally pale, and the fingertips are so tense that they almost puncture the LCD screen.
The photographer smiled and said, "Relax, don't be nervous."
As a result, the more the photographer talked, the more nervous he became, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and the smile on his face was also very ugly.
Knowing the reason, Chu Yan walked behind him, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Relax a little, don't worry about me, I'm leaving now."
Zhu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Yan striding away, turning around and quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
After Chu Yan left, Zhu Qingyue took a deep breath and adjusted his expression. It was true that he was not as nervous as before. He smiled embarrassedly at the photographer, and then cooperated with the required actions. The short video was shot quickly, and the planning girl Ask him to change another scene.
The shooting of the advertisement in the morning went very smoothly, and Manager Meng was also very satisfied after watching the replay.
It's winter now, and Zhu Qingyue is wearing a turtleneck sweater. Because of his slender neck and well-proportioned figure, he is also very temperamental. The fingers photographed in the camera are very beautiful. Swipe quickly on the LCD control panel, and skill icons will appear clearly where the fingertips touch. Matching the skill release screen in the game, the young man has a faint smile on his face , The appearance of playing the game seriously is very charming.
This is the simplest short film, which can be used as a few-second advertisement during the intermission of future competitions. It will be accompanied by a voice-over to introduce the product later, and the effect should be good.
Meng Ke emailed the clip to Chu Yan for review, and Chu Yan also said it was okay, so she asked the advertising company to do post-processing.
…
During the lunch break, Meng Ke ordered a takeaway and bought a copy for Zhu Qingyue. He called him and said, "Let's go upstairs to the office to eat, and take a nap by the way. Work won't start until 2:30 in the afternoon."
Zhu Qingyue smiled gratefully and followed Manager Meng all the way to the office on the tenth floor.
This office is located at the end of the corridor. The floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall make the room very spacious and bright. The bookshelf on the left hand side is full of professional books. The desk in the middle is very large. Folders; on the opposite side there are several sets of black leather sofas, and a transparent glass tea table.
Meng Ke said: "You eat here, you can lie down on the sofa for a while after eating, and I will call you again at 2:30 in the afternoon."
Zhu Qingyue was flattered and asked, "Manager Meng, is this your office? If I rest here, then you..."
Meng Ke smiled slightly: "This is Mr. Chu's office. He went out just now and told me to call you up. You have the habit of taking a lunch break, right? Just sleep here, and I'll get you a blanket." She walked out of the closet He found a blanket, put it next to the sofa, and said, "Go to sleep in peace after eating, Mr. Chu said he won't be back until afternoon."
After Manager Meng left, Zhu Qingyue sat on the sofa like a needle felt, thinking that Chu Yan had explained all this, he felt very embarrassed.
The master had been very considerate and cared for him before, but he had made it clear yesterday that he knew that Chu Yan liked him, so how could he continue to enjoy Chu Yan's care with the cheek
Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue quickly finished his meal, turned around and walked out of the office.
As soon as I went out, I heard a conversation between the two next to me. It was Zhu Ran's voice asking: "Have you recovered from your cold? If you don't feel well, go home and rest."
Chu Yan coughed and said, "The fever has subsided, but the throat is a little sore."
Zhu Ran said: "By the way, Qingyue took care of you yesterday afternoon, right?"
Zhu Qingyue's back stiffened suddenly when he heard this, and his ears immediately perked up.
Chu Yan said: "Well, he took good care of me and even ordered takeaway for me."
Zhu Ran patted his friend on the shoulder: "I don't want to see such a sudden fainting again. Yesterday Qingyue was so frightened that his face turned pale. He called me for help. I carried you back."
Chu Yan smiled: "I know, he definitely won't be able to carry me on his back."
The two paused for a moment, Zhu Ran changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Meng Ke likes you, your heart is like a mirror, right?"
Chu Yan didn't speak.
Zhu Ran said seriously: "Ayan, I'm not against office romance. You and Meng Ke joined the company in the same year, and we are alumni. I'd be very happy if you two can succeed. Meng Ke is beautiful and capable. Qiang, no matter in terms of appearance, schooling time, and family background, she is a perfect match for you, why do you dislike her?"
Chu Yan said calmly: "Emotional matters can't be judged by compatibility or not. I only regard Meng Ke as a school girl, and I already have someone in my heart."
Zhu Ran was surprised: "Do you have someone you like? Who is it?"
Zhu Qingyue: "..."
Standing at the corner, Zhu Qingyue's face was pale, and he clenched his fists nervously, afraid that Chu Yan would say his name.
After a while, he heard Chu Yan's plain voice coming over: "It's inconvenient to say the name, anyway, he is someone I have liked for a long time, and it always haunts me, and I can't rest assured. I will probably fall into his hands for the rest of my life." Even if I can't be with him, I won't fall in love with anyone else... So put away your thoughts of being a matchmaker, and don't worry about my affairs."
Zhu Ran laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you are still a lover! I'm really curious, who made you fall in love so deeply?"
Chu Yan lowered his voice and said, "Not being able to love has gradually become an obsession. You and your girlfriend's childhood sweethearts are going well, so naturally you won't understand my feelings."
Zhu Ran had never seen Chu Yan in such pain before, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Then why don't you go after her? With your ability, appearance and means, it's not easy to chase someone?"
Chu Yan frowned and said, "I don't want to hurt him."
Zhu Ran was taken aback: "What?"
Chu Yan smiled slightly: "There are too many obstacles between us. He will be under a lot of pressure when he is with me. He is very simple, and I can't let him live so hard. If I don't take this step, no If this matter is broken, he will live a much easier life."
Zhu Ran sighed for a long time: "What about you? Are you going to suffer alone like this? I really don't understand, who are you in love with, and you don't even dare to chase after him?"
Chu Yan thought amusedly—if you figured it out, I’m afraid that instead of standing opposite me and chatting with me now, you would chop me up with a knife.
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a "bang" sound from the corner, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Zhu Ran looked back and said in surprise, "Qingyue, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Chu Yan's back stiffened suddenly, and he walked forward in two steps, and sure enough, he found that Zhu Qingyue was squatting down and frantically picking up his mobile phone, with a distressed expression and tears on his face.
Zhu Ran said with a smile: "Hey, your eyes are so red, don't you cry? What's so sad about breaking a mobile phone? I'll buy you a new one."
Chu Yan frowned, and helped Zhu Qingyue pick up the battery that fell to the side and handed it to him. Zhu Qingyue took it with trembling fingers, said "thank you", then hurriedly turned around with his head down, and Chu Yan pulled gently. Holding his arm, he whispered: "Qingyue, let's talk."
Zhu Qingyue's body froze.
Zhu Ran looked at his nephew, then at his friend, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yan said perfunctorily: "Some unpleasantness happened during the commercial shooting in the morning. It's nothing serious. You go back first, and I'll talk to him."
Zhu Ran had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then I'll go back to the office first. Qingyue, if your phone doesn't work, tell me, and I'll buy you a new one."
Zhu Qingyue gave a soft "um" and said, "Goodbye, uncle."
Zhu Ran waved his hand and turned to walk away. After he left, Chu Yan brought Zhu Qingyue into his office, and asked in a low voice, "How much did you hear just now?"
Zhu Qingyue's eyes were a little red, and he choked up and said, "I almost heard everything."
Chu Yan took a step forward, stroked Zhu Qingyue's hair gently, and said softly: "I told your little uncle the truth, I have liked you for a long time, but considering that you will face extreme pressure from your family A lot of pressure, plus you respect me so much, that's why I've been hiding it from you, and I don't intend to pursue you. Qingyue, I don't want to bring you into the quagmire, you will have a better life... The asshole that Master did yesterday you Just forget it, I believe that you will find a gentle and kind girl in the future, and you will be very happy."
The man's voice was so gentle that it almost melted people. Zhu Qingyue clenched his fingers tightly—Chu Yan meant that he would stop pestering him and let him go to find his own happiness. He should be happy, but why? , listening to this man's gentle voice, will he feel even more sad
——My whole life is probably in his hands. Even if I can't be with him, I won't fall in love with others.
—I don't want to hurt him.
—He will bear great pressure with me, he is very simple, I can't let him live so hard.
What Chu Yan said to Zhu Ran just now echoed clearly in his ears.
That kind of repressed affection is like wine that has been hidden in the cellar for many years. Once opened, the strong taste can no longer be dissipated.
The man in front of him thought about him everywhere, buried all his deep feelings in his heart, because he was afraid of hurting him, he didn't even dare to take the step of pursuing...
In this world, who else would love him more than Chu Yan
Zhu Qingyue was originally a soft-hearted person, and he could feel Chu Yan's affection.
Facing a person who protected and took care of himself since he was a child, and loved him deeply after he grew up, he really couldn't help himself.
— If you don’t want to beat up Master, and you don’t want to break up your friendship, then stay with Master, don’t hesitate!
When asking for help on the forum last night, a reply from a netizen suddenly came to mind. Seeing Chu Yan forcibly suppressing the pain, Zhu Qingyue felt soft, and suddenly blurted out a sentence: "Why don't we try together? Bar."
Chu Yan: "...??"
