Lai Yang went out and lit a cigarette. After he exhaled a straight line of smoke, he spoke.
"Aru, do you know why I agreed to let you chase Shengda in the first place?"
“…Because I’m nice to her.”
"Yes, I have always believed so. Yunlu also told me that you were sincere to Shengda. I still remember that you made soup for her every morning. At that time, I firmly believed that you were worthy of trust."
Aru didn't say anything, but his breathing became heavier.
Lai Yang flicked the ash off his cigarette. The dim yellow light in the corridor cast shadows on the uneven and worn steps. These shadows were imprinted in Lai Yang's heart, causing it to twitch slightly.
"But I saw the wrong person. You are really good at hiding. You said that you and that woman are innocent? If that were the case, would she be holding a banner like a madman in front of the audience? Do you know what your expression is when the noise is loud?"
Lai Yang put out the cigarette fiercely on the steps, his voice choked with sobs.
"Fuck you, you told me that woman left? And now you still have the nerve to ask me to help you? I really want to beat you to death right now, you bastard!"
"Brother Yang..."
A-lu's voice broke when he shouted, and he burst into tears: "I am sorry to Shengda, I am sorry to her, but, but I really only love her, really... I want to ask you to meet my dad and help me speak up. I want to explain this to him tomorrow. I will not marry anyone else. In this life... I will only marry Shengda, okay? Please."
This is a request for a word.
Lai Yang suddenly thought of the time at Putuoshan Airport when Tian Jing was about to separate from him completely and he also said this word.
So at this moment, Lai Yang resonated.
He sat on the steps, supporting his forehead with one hand, and asked after a wave of heartache.
"What if your family insists that you marry her?"
"Then I'll jump into the Huangpu River! I want to be with Shengda even if I die."
These words made Lai Yang breathe a sigh of relief, and he spoke after a pause.
"…Okay, remember your words, what time tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock, Brother Yang, I will send you the location later. When we meet, just tell me the truth about what happened between me and Shengda from the time we met until now. I will take care of the rest."
After saying this, Alu begged Lai Yang in a crying voice to persuade Yuan Shengda tonight. He couldn't come because he was afraid that Su Mengjie would find Yuan Shengda's neighborhood.
Lai Yang then remembered Alu's fiancée
The name is Su Mengjie.
…
After another cigarette's time, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Li Dian and Qianying arrived first. After Li Dian climbed the stairs sweating profusely, he asked Lai Yang, panting, "Where is she?"
Lai Yang pointed inside the house, and Li Dian ran in again. Then there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"It's too loud. Open the door. Don't lock yourself in. It's too loud..."
"roll-"
"I'm not Aru, I'm Li Dian."
"I just want you to get out!"
"… "
In the corridor, Lai Yang and Qian Ying looked at each other, then he stood up, brushed the dirt off his butt, and walked back to the room.
Li Dian was standing at the bedroom door, looking extremely disappointed.
Lai Yang knew that Li Dian liked Yuan Shengda, so he also knew how he felt at the moment, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"She's very sad. She just said the same thing to me. Don't take it personally."
Li Dian shook his head with a painful expression, then sat silently on the sofa, turning into a stone statue.
After a while, Song Wen, Yunlu and Hu Zi also arrived. As soon as they entered the house, Hu Zi immediately pointed his mobile phone screen at Lai Yang and shouted.
"Oh no! Look, some bastard posted the video of your performance online, and it's now trending on the Internet!"
Lai Yang frowned and looked at his phone. It was released by an entertainment news company half an hour ago.
From the perspective of the video recording, it was provided by the actor Dusi.
Although the video was a bit blurry, one could still clearly see the words on the banner, as well as Yuan Shengda and his face.
Most importantly, the big words "Boxiao Club" and the label logo were playing on the big screen of the movie.
Lai Yang opened his mouth and let out a cry, feeling indescribably upset.
Then he turned to look at Li Dian and asked him to quickly refund the tickets for his show to the audience, and it would be best if he could post a public account to clarify the matter.
“Don’t, the more you explain, the worse it will be. If you post this, people might cancel their tickets for the next few shows,” Yunlu reminded.
Lai Yang sat down on the cold floor.
He just couldn't understand it. They say that when God closes a door, he opens a window.
Why is God always so shameless when it comes to me, welding wires on the windows and opening and closing the doors, just to tease me on purpose
Yunlu walked to the bedroom and called out softly twice.
"Sister Sheng".
Then the door opened a crack, and Yuan Shengda asked her in, saying that he wanted to talk, and asked everyone else to leave and not stay in the living room.
Li Dian rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted at Yuan Sheng.
"Sounds loud, can I stay and chat with you for a while? I..."
"You go first!"
“… Why? I… I… Look carefully, it’s me, I’m Li Dian~”
"Even if you are Li Yuanba, be the first to leave! I don't want to talk to someone who plays two-timing. Get lost—"
"… "
Li Dian wanted to say something, but Lai Yang stepped forward and held his shoulders, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's all go, let Yunlu stay with us for a while."
…
After leaving the community, Gao Yunjian drove a Cayenne and waited for Qianying.
Lai Yang glanced at the Porsche logo, frowned, and told Qianying and Li Dian to go back and rest early. Hu Zi also took a taxi and left first.
Li Dian took a few steps towards the car and then turned back. His small eyes were shining in the dark and he said with a serious expression.
"How come I'm playing both sides?"
"Hey~ In Shengda's eyes, you just fell in love with someone else while you were with Xu Mo."
"But the one I like... is her."
"She doesn't know."
After Lai Yang finished speaking, Li Dian suddenly slapped himself. The sudden sound echoed in the night, causing Lai Yang's expression to tremble.
“Ah~”
Li Dian's expression was extremely struggling. He sighed and said, "Sometimes I really feel disgusted with myself. Why... why didn't I say it earlier... why, Li Dian, Li Dian! What a coward!"
"Don't say that about yourself. It's already a mess. Go deal with the box office. I'll take care of this."
Li Dian nodded heavily and muttered something as he turned and left.
"Why am I not called Li Yuanba? Why..."
Laiyang: “…”
When turning around to go back, Lai Yang's eyes were attracted by the sycamore tree at the entrance of the community. Its trunk became darker in the night, and its leaves swayed slightly in the moonlight.
As he was shaking, Lai Yang was a little dazed. Would tomorrow's meeting with Aru's father promote the development of this relationship, or put an end to it
Coincidentally, I will meet Tian Jing's father soon.
At that time, just like this moment~
