Mi Sheng packed up in order to see Song Baiyang. He had not seen him for almost two months. During this period, Wei Kang called many times, but Mi Sheng rejected them.
On the day when the plaster cast was removed from his arm, Mi Sheng took the initiative to call Wei Kang and asked him to ask Song Baiyang to meet. Song Baiyang had a busy schedule, and Mi Sheng waited for a week until he was free.
They made an appointment at Song Boyang's house, and Mi Sheng went to him early in the morning to prevent him from waking up and getting drunk again. Mi Sheng didn't have the key to Song Boyang's house, so he was waiting outside. He was familiar with Song Baiyang's routine, and knew that he would wake up around eight o'clock, then add alcohol and fall asleep again.
He figured out the time to make a phone call. Song Boyang, who had just woken up, came to open the door. Seeing Mi Sheng, his dispirited expression paused.
"Yo, the sword is not old."
Mi Sheng said, "Let me in, I have something to tell you."
Song Boyang turned away, and Mi Sheng walked into the house. When passing by Song Boyang, Song Boyang suddenly bent down and smelled Mi Sheng's shoulder.
“Taste…”
Mi Sheng ignored him and went straight into the living room. Song Baiyang closed the door and sat down on the sofa. On the table was the red wine that he drank last night, and he poured half a glass. Mi Sheng sat opposite him and said straight to the point: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."
The pouring hand stopped.
Mi Sheng said: "I thought about it for a long time, but I still can't say 'thank you' to you, so just say 'goodbye'."
Song Baiyang hooked the corner of his mouth, started pouring the wine again, and said lazily: "The first time I saw you today, I felt that something was wrong. How do you say that word..." Song Baiyang thought about it, slapped his thigh, "Old man The tree is blooming? Hahaha!" He laughed, Mi Sheng was expressionless, Song Baiyang looked at his slender eyes, took a sip of wine, and said, "I slept with someone, and I slept with a new look."
Mi Sheng said: "I will move out of your house next week, and I will explain my work to Wei Kang."
Song Baiyang watched silently.
"Really?"
"What do you say?"
Song Baiyang laughed. "Mi Sheng, how old are you, you're already in your thirties, why are you still like a child." He pointed at him, "You have to know how to leave room for things, and cut off all the way back without a single word. Now, so impulsive, how good is this person in bed."
Mi Sheng was speechless for a while, then got up and said, "I'm here to tell you this. We won't meet again in the future, so take care."
"Stop." Song Boyang lowered his voice and implied a warning. "You've been in Shanghai for three years, and it's all about me spending money. If you want to leave now, take me as someone else."
Mi Sheng turned his head and said with a smile, "If Boss Song feels that he has suffered a loss, just tell me the number, and I will give it back to you. But don't be too much, you know me, and I will default on my debt."
Song Baiyang's eyes twitched slightly, as if angry.
Mi Sheng: "Don't say it? Then I'll go." He turned around and took two steps when he heard the wind blowing behind him, and Song Boyang's wine glass hit him on the head accurately. Mi Sheng's clothes were pulled, Song Boyang turned him roughly, slapped him in the face, and cursed angrily, "I didn't let you go, where do you want to go?!"
The slap made Mi Sheng dizzy, and he covered his face. Facing Song Baiyang's thunderous wrath, he actually laughed.
He sighed softly, and said quietly, "I really like punching people with my fists rather than slaps."
His senseless attitude further angered Song Baiyang, who beat and kicked, shouting and scolding. "Say it again! Say it again! Say it again!" Mi Sheng covered his head and let him be beaten and scolded. Song Baiyang was so emotional that he even tripped and fell to the ground in the end.
He just happened to see Mi Sheng's bowed expression, he was clearly beaten to the point of blood on the corners of his lips and trembling all over, but he still smiled. "Boss Song, take it lightly." He said angrily, "Don't accidentally kill me. Although my life is worthless, the good days without you will come to an end."
Song Baiyang didn't speak, only the sound of his heavy breathing was heard in the room, and after a while, Mi Sheng slowly got up and flicked the dust off his body. "Enough? Enough and I'm leaving."
He limped toward the door.
"Not a good day..."
Song Baiyang's voice was hoarse.
"It's not a good day, Mi Sheng, I'm in pain..."
Mi Sheng turned his head, Song Boyang sat on the ground and covered his face.
"I'm in pain, it's really painful. In fact, some people have long known that I'm gay, and they're all waiting to see me laughing. When I was filming, Wei Kang always stared at me and made me try my best to make out with actresses. I'm going to vomit."
He got up from the ground, came to the door, and squeezed Mi Sheng's shoulder tightly.
"Mi Sheng, there is no one around me who can speak my heart... I know you hate me, I don't ask you anything, I will give you money, you can live whatever you want, you can be with anyone you want, as long as Just come over when I come back, okay?"
Mi Sheng was quite surprised, and said with a smile, "Spend money to support me to live with others? Song Boyang, you used to be able to afford a loss."
Song Baiyang's eyes were red, "Whatever you say, would you like it?"
"I don't want to."
Song Boyang clenched his hands tightly.
"That doesn't work either?"
"No, I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid he will find out."
"Don't worry, we are very strict in this circle."
"That's not OK."
"Misheng!"
"It's not even possible at all." Mi Sheng looked at Song Boyang, "I wouldn't dare to make any mistakes with him, I'm afraid he'll get angry."
Song Baiyang couldn't believe it, "You like him so much?"
"right."
Mi Sheng thought of Chen Xingze, the way he was sitting on the sofa reading, the way he listened to music with headphones on, the moonlight on his face, and his eyes gradually became wet.
"I love him." He looked at Song Boyang with a smile, "I love him so much that I am even willing to bless you."
Song Baiyang was completely stunned.
After a while, he finally let go of his hand, took three steps back, and watched Mi Sheng leave.
Mi Sheng left Song Baiyang's house and did not return to his residence immediately, but rested in the roadside cafe. He sat by the window in the smoking area and ordered a latte, but because he was only interested in smoking, he didn't take a sip of the coffee when it was cold.
Chen Xingze sent a message asking where he was. Mi Sheng said he was outside. Chen Xingze asked him what time he would come back, and Mi Sheng said he was not sure.
-Then I'll go out too, just as my mother told me to do something, call me in advance when you want to come back.
On this day, Chen Xingze went to see Zhao Yu.
In fact, Wu Xingzhi had already arranged for him to see Zhao Yu, but Chen Xingze was worried about Mi Sheng's injury during the holidays and kept looking for reasons to delay it. Zhao Yu came to Shanghai earlier than other freshmen, and was sent by his parents by car. On this day, Chen Xingze contacted Zhao Yu and served as half the host to entertain their family of three, took them to several Shanghai landmarks, and had dinner together in the evening.
Zhao Yu himself is the same as in the photo, a shy and shy child. When he first met his parents and asked him to greet Chen Xingze, he only lowered his head and whispered "Hello, brother", and then never opened his mouth again. He didn't dare to look at Chen Xingze the whole time, and he blushed as soon as Chen Xingze spoke to him.
When visiting the Bund, Zhao Yu's parents deliberately walked behind to give them space to chat. Chen Xingze was afraid that the awkward atmosphere would make Zhao Yu more nervous, so he took the initiative to talk to him.
"I heard from my mother that you did very well in the college entrance examination."
"… Well, it's okay."
"This is the first time so far from home."
"Um."
"It's better to be far away, the emperor is far away, free and no one cares."
Zhao Yu was amused by him, "You are afraid that your family will take care of you."
"Yeah, I'm scared to death."
"I don't like being controlled by my parents either."
Thanks to Chen Xingze's efforts, the atmosphere is no longer so rigid.
After dinner in the evening, Zhao Yu's parents insisted on sending Chen Xingze, and they chatted with Chen Xingze enthusiastically along the way. When the car drove into the community, Chen Xingze swept out the window at will, and was horrified to find Mi Sheng sitting in a chair downstairs smoking a cigarette.
This fright was no trivial matter, and it almost broke him on the spot.
The car stopped, Chen Xingze got out of the car with the weight of the five mountains, Zhao Yu's mother poked Zhao Yu, "Say goodbye to brother." Zhao Yu stuck his head out of the car window, waved at Chen Xingze, and said softly. : "Goodbye brother."
"goodbye… "
The car drove away, Chen Xingze shrank his shoulders and came to Mi Sheng's side. "Why are you sitting here, I'm still waiting for you to call during the day, and you haven't contacted me."
Mi Sheng didn't speak, just smoked quietly.
Chen Xingze was sweating profusely on his back. "Um, have you eaten dinner, do you want to—" Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was getting late now, and there were no street lights in the old community. Just now, Chen Xingze recognized Mi Sheng only from his appearance, but did not see his face clearly. Sitting next to him at this time, by the light of the smoke, he saw that the corners of Mi Sheng's mouth were green, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be dried blood.
Chen Xingze's expression changed instantly. "What's wrong?" He grabbed Mi Sheng's hand, "what's wrong with your face?"
Mi Sheng was pulled by him, and Chen Xingze asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on, talk to me."
Mi Sheng never looked at him, and said lightly, "Who was that just now?"
Chen Xingze: "No one, my mother's friend."
Mi Sheng: "The little ones too?"
Chen Xingze knew that Mi Sheng had sharp eyes, and he could see the people in the circle at a glance. He didn't hide it, and said frankly: "My mother's friend's child is also gay. He came to Shanghai for the exam this year. He hasn't traveled far, and he wants me to help take care of it."
Mi Sheng said nothing, put out the cigarette, and went upstairs.
Chen Xingze looked at his back, scratched his head frantically, and quickly chased after him.
Chen Xingze knew that Mi Sheng was angry, and he also knew why he was angry. Mi Sheng never mentioned what happened to the injury on his face, and didn't pay much attention to him all night. Chen Xingze knew he was wrong and could only desperately apologize. As a result, there was an accident in the middle of the apology, and Wu Xingzhi called.
Chen Xingze knew what she was going to talk about on the phone. Mi Sheng was by his side. He didn't want to answer it, so he cut it off, but the call came in after a while.
In embarrassment, Mi Sheng whispered "Come on", then got up and went to the balcony.
Chen Xingze was heartbroken and answered the phone.
Wu Xingzhi went straight to the point and asked Chen Xingze what he thought of Zhao Yu.
"Mom, I don't mean that to him..."
"What's the matter, do you think he's not good?"
"It's not bad, I didn't think about it at all."
"Your Aunt Zhang called just now. Their family is very satisfied with you, and Zhao Yu also likes you very much."
Chen Xingze pondered for a few seconds and clenched his phone tightly.
"Mom, I already have someone I like."
Wu Xingzhi was quiet for a while, then sighed: "Actually, I should have guessed, what kind of person is he?"
"Nice person."
"What is this called?"
Chen Xingze did not speak, staring at the balcony.
Wu Xingzhi said in a slow voice: "Mom, let me tell you this, there are not many families in China that can accept gay children, and it is even harder to find good conditions. I have also discussed this matter with your father, and I think Zhao Yu's family is the right match for our family. Zhao Yu is also a good boy. If you can be together smoothly, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary harm. Do you understand what your mother said? "
Chen Xingze lowered his head.
"Understood, I understand."
"That's good, you can think about it again. I really don't want your parents to force you."
After Wu Xingzhi finished speaking, he wanted to cut off the phone.
"Mom..." Chen Xingze stopped her, "I love you."
Wu Xingzhi smiled, "What did the little fool say?"
Chen Xingze's eyes were hot, "I love you, tell my dad, I love him too."
"Okay, I'll pass it on to you."
Putting down the phone, Chen Xingze rubbed his face, still feeling that his emotions were uncontrollable, he walked quickly to the balcony and opened the glass door.
Mi Sheng was in a daze on the balcony when he heard the sound and turned back. Chen Xingze saw the bruises on Mi Sheng's face, and the tears he had just controlled flowed out.
Mi Sheng didn't expect him to cry, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xingze shook his head, he walked over and hugged Mi Sheng, and said in a low voice, "I think I'm so lucky." Since childhood, he was surrounded by people who were unbelievably gentle.
He is much luckier than he is.
"Really..." Mi Sheng let him hold it.
Chen Xingze choked and said, "Don't worry, I won't see Zhao Yu again, I won't see each other again, and I won't see you as a friend, you believe me."
"Is Zhao Yu the child just now?"
Chen Xingze tightened his arms, "It doesn't matter who you are, just know that I will never let anyone bully you again."
Mi Sheng murmured "Yes" again, his voice getting softer and softer, as if it had melted into the moonlight. Chen Xingze hugged him too hard and pressed the wound on his body, but he didn't push him away, he liked the pain, as if it could add weight to his commitment.
