The conversation in the living room continued for a while, and the boy suddenly said that he had something to leave early.
Yin Chang hurriedly made some noises at the entrance, put on his shoes again, and pretended that he had just arrived home.
When Shao Junling heard the movement, he quickly walked around and saw Yin Chang lowering his head to change his shoes: "Brother?"
Yin Chang responded, and looked up at the boy following Shao Junling: "Your friend?"
The boy was about the same height as Shao Junling, with a thin body, but he looked upright.
"Well," Shao Junling introduced, "This is my classmate in Deyin, He Hongjun, he... is passing by, so I'll invite him to sit up for a while."
"Hello," Yin Chang nodded to He Hongjun, "It's rare for Jun Ling to invite a classmate to your door, welcome."
He Hongjun opened his mouth slightly, and stared at Yin Chang blankly. He didn't react for a while, until Shao Junling patted his arm, he looked away in a panic, and said, "Hello, big brother."
Yin Chang was amused by this title, and said politely, "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Shao Junling took the coats of the two of them and came over, and refused for He Hongjun expressionlessly: "No, he is leaving." Then he pushed He Hongjun who was in a daze into the elevator, "I'll see him off downstairs."
Yin Chang: "..."
He Hongjun has been silent since he got into the elevator. When he got downstairs, he seemed to have figured something out, and looked at Shao Junling with a complicated expression: "Hey, Shao Junling, are you..." Shao Junling just sent a WeChat to the driver, carrying Looking at He Hongjun, he heard He Hongjun spit out the last two words in a trance and tentatively: "Love...brother?"
Shao Junling: "..."
"Then what, your brother is really good-looking... No, he is really too good-looking..." He Hongjun usually saw Yin Chang's commercials, TV dramas, etc. outside, but today when he met the real person, he was completely amazed It's here, "I just saw your brother, and I seemed a little dumbfounded, so embarrassed. If there is such a beautiful woman who asks me to 'please stay with me' and 'don't leave me', it will be difficult for me Refused... So, you just said that, I seem to understand now... "
Shao Junling: "..."
A black car slowly stopped at the entrance of the community. Shao Junling opened the door of the passenger seat, bent down and said to the driver inside: "Uncle Fang, please take my friend to where he wants to go."
"But I have one thing to say, Shao Junling." He Hongjun looked at him with sympathetic eyes again, "Understanding does not mean agreeing. I admit that people are attracted by beautiful things, but a man has a long-term ambition. I think you One should not be fooled by beauty..."
Shao Junling looked at He Hongjun who was still chattering, and gave him a murderous look and a contemptuous middle finger: "Shut up, get out."
He Hongjun: "..."
After returning home, Shao Junling turned around and went to the living room, and saw that Yin Chang had changed out of the complicated fashion, only wearing an open-necked silk shirt and trousers, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and trimming his toenails. Nine out of ten people would look vulgar and vulgar when doing this movement, but Yin Chang still showed a sense of elegance when doing this... even, because he bowed his head and exposed a large nape, he looked a little sexy.
"Your classmate is gone?" Yin Chang raised his head and continued to move his hands. He wanted to show himself as relaxed as possible so that Shao Junling would not see the clue.
"Yeah." Shao Junling felt that the heating in the room seemed to be turned up again by Yin Chang, and it still felt hot after taking off his down jacket.
"Are you on good terms with him?" Besides Xue Zi asked, this was the first time Yin Chang saw Shao Junling's other friends back home. However, since Shao Junling skipped grades again and again, the contact with Xue Ziwen has become less and less. The young master of Xue's family went to school dutifully, and he just started junior high school this year.
"Very good," indeed, if he hadn't had a strong relationship, he wouldn't have let people come to his house. "In the FRC competition I mentioned to you before, he and I did the core programming of the robot together." Shao Junling explained.
"Since the relationship is good, why don't you let him sit for a while?" Yin Chang pretended to be completely ignorant of the past, and deliberately teased him, "I will drive him away when I see you. Why, your brother, I can't see anyone ?”
Shao Junling glanced at Yin Chang, and said in his heart that he couldn't see it, and made people say such stupid words as "beauty deceives people".
But of course Shao Junling couldn't say that, "He has something to do later, he was planning to leave when you came," he said.
Yin Chang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After cutting the nails, Yin Chang took a few wet tissues from the coffee table, wiped his toes and nail clippers carefully, and then got up to wash his hands. When he came out and saw Shao Junling sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, Yin Chang said again, "Oh, by the way, is that classmate of yours planning to go abroad?"
Shao Junling was startled, and glanced at Yin Chang sharply: "Did you hear that just now?"
"What did you hear?" Yin Chang pretended to be stupid, but his heart was pounding. This child is too sensitive now, so it's hard to fool him.
"...It's nothing," Shao Junling lowered his head, "My classmate also came to tell me about going abroad today."
Yin Chang didn't expect him to confess, so he poured water for himself, sat down and asked after drinking, "Oh? What did you say?"
Shao Junling still said the same thing: "I said I won't go."
Yin Chang asked strangely: "Your classmates are all going abroad, why don't you want to study abroad? Teacher He told me that the foreign school for your major is better, and your English is not bad now. Are you so afraid of going abroad?"
Shao Junling looked at Yin Chang and said, "No."
Yin Chang: "What is that? Can't apply?"
Shao Junling didn't answer, but still stared at him. Yin Chang was flustered by his look, and asked with a sudden smile, "Could it be because he was reluctant to leave me?" When he said this, his eyes lit up, and his tone was full of teasing, It's really hard to be serious.
Shao Junling, who has a stronger personality, really looked away and refused to admit it: "...you are so narcissistic."
"Okay," Yin Chang said helplessly, "I just went abroad to study for a few years, and it's not like I won't come back. Teacher He advises you, your classmates advise you, and I advise you too. I don't even know what you are doing alone. horns."
"Are you persuading me?" Shao Junling looked at Yin Chang again, looking a little stunned, "You want me to go?"
"Going abroad is a better choice for you at this stage." Yin Chang said.
"What about you?" Shao Junling asked.
"Me?" Knowing that Shao Junling cared about his own thoughts, Yin Chang said intentionally, "Of course I hope you can go abroad to exercise. If you leave, I will be happy for two years."
"... Happy and happy?" Shao Junling stared at him in disbelief.
"Isn't it?" Yin Chang gestured, "Look, I brought you home when I was eighteen years old, took care of you, protected you, educated you, and I had to worry about you every day, worrying about you and that. This year I am twenty-four years old. In the past six years, except for work, I have put almost all my thoughts on you alone. I don’t even have the energy to go out and have a relationship. I am happy to be a monk. You Now that I'm older, it's time to learn to be independent."
Shao Junling: "..."
Shao Junling's expression was complicated. He emphasized several times in front of Yin Chang that he would "not go abroad", not to put pressure on Yin Chang, but to see his brother's happy reaction because he decided to stay, just like last year...
If the brother could be more honest and say "that's great", he might be happier.
After all, Yin Chang has always enjoyed his company.
But what Yin Chang just said revealed another meaning—he thought he was troublesome and wanted to drive him away.
Shao Junling's heart was agitated, and it was the first time that he wondered if he was being too self-indulgent.
... no, it shouldn't be like this...
Shao Junling quickly calmed down from the chaotic state.
During these two thousand days and nights together, Shao Junling has seen countless appearances of Yin Chang, proud and unrestrained, laughing, feeling lost, sensitive and vulnerable... Every moment he spends with Yin Chang, he observes him . After six years, Shao Junling was already so familiar with this person that he could feel whether his brother was happy or unhappy even with his eyes closed.
In the past two years, although Yin Chang has improved his acting skills a lot because of filming, in Shao Junling's eyes, the camouflage that he thought he was familiar with was still so clumsy that he could see through it. Although the person involved may not know about it, Shao Junling didn't bother to expose it. He has been carrying out the spirit of "letting him go" since five years ago, pampering Yin Chang in every possible way.
Although the meaning of Yin Chang's words just now is to drive him away, every word of his is full of "reluctance" and "uneasiness" caused by duplicity.
Having seen what is true, one can clearly discern what is false.
There is still a big difference between a truly relaxed look and "pretending to be relaxed". Even if Yin Chang cuts his toenails in front of Shao Junling, he can't hide it.
He was lying to him, Shao Junling was very sure.
But Shao Junling was not without feelings. He would be sad, wronged, and even angry when he heard Yin Chang say that.
He looked at Yin Chang, endured it, and finally didn't say anything harsh, but frowned and said, "I... think about it."
Yin Chang breathed a sigh of relief seeing that his goal was half achieved.
Half a month later, Yin Chang asked Shao Junling if he had finished thinking about it.
Shao Junling glanced at him, and asked, "Is that why you want me to go?"
Yin Chang: "..." He hopes? How could he hope
Just when he was about to refute, Yin Chang realized that he was almost surrounded by Shao Junling: "No, what does this have to do with my hope or not?" Shao Junling asked like this, as if the other party was forced to leave by himself if he really went abroad...
But, that's right.
Yin Chang said: "I just accepted a play these two days."
Shao Junling: "Huh?"
Yin Chang: "A feature-length historical TV series will join the cast in September next year, and it will take eight months to shoot."
He didn't want his own existence to be a burden to Shao Junling, so he could only find a way to cut off Shao Junling's childish thoughts.
Shao Junling opened his eyes wide. In his impression, his brother didn't seem to have taken over this kind of drama, and he rarely went to the crew for such a long time... Could it be because of himself
— That's right, Yin Chang joined the group, and the two of them couldn't meet each other, so it was no different from him going abroad.
Shao Junling was very powerless. In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he had been hesitating for the past two days, but Yin Chang's words brought his decision to the surface in advance.
"Who are you playing?" Shao Junling didn't want to just go along with Yin Chang's wishes, and talked to him about the topic at hand first.
Yin Chang: "Cao Pi."
Shao Junling asked in a calm tone: "That's a politician with a lot of power, brother, you are so stupid, did you play well?"
——
[Interlude]
Yin Chang: Hurry up and go abroad for me!
Shao Junling: ...Okay, I'll go.
—You wait, I'm going to make you realize that you can't do without me.
