After dinner, Li Guangzong drove Shao Si back.
He bought this car in the second-hand market as soon as he saved his first sum of money. It cost less than 40,000 yuan, and it was the most common brand.
Li Guangzong received the bonus that day, holding his bank card in his hand, and insisted on taking him along to pick it up: "The first pot of gold in my life, don't you want to witness it with me?"
"What to witness, it's not all second-hand cars when you pick and choose."
Shao Si doesn't quite understand where Li Guangzong's enthusiasm for shopping in the second-hand car market comes from: "You listen to me, wait a minute, Dad will take you around a corner to pick a car in the 4S shop next door Nice car."
Li Guangzong didn't believe in this evil: "You are getting better now, but you may be out of breath soon... I'm afraid that I will eat instant noodles with you until I can't bear to buy a car, so I'd better buy it first."
In the end he picked a white one.
Since Shao Si is here, he must play the role of 'intervener' well. He patted Li Guangzong on the shoulder: "This car, this model, do you think white is a bit ugly. Why don't you buy a black one."
Li Guangzong, a commoner, said solemnly: "Black absorbs heat."
Shao Si frowned: "Huh?"
Li Guangzong: "In summer, the inside of the car will not be too hot. White is definitely better than black... Save money on gas, and turn on the air conditioner if you can."
Shao Si: "...you must be sick."
Li Guangzong: "I'll take you for a ride then!"
Shao Si: "Thank you, I appreciate it."
Li Guangzong put the key in, and turned on the ignition several times before turning it on. The car had already had some minor problems, especially when it was starting: "Speaking of which we found, can it be used in court?"
"Who told you that you're going to court?" Shao Si opened his eyes, and just after he finished speaking, the car body trembled violently, causing his stomach to hurt, "...what's the matter with your broken car."
Li Guangzong: "This car is not very obedient. But don't worry, it is easy to stall when it just starts, and it is still a good horse when it is really on the road."
"..."
Shao Si was thinking about his own safety: "Your car should be replaced."
Li Guangzong waved his hand, turned on the fire again, turned the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator: "It still works, I have been with it for so many years, and I have feelings for it. Speaking of which, what did you just say? Not going to court ?… Aren’t we going to sue them?”
Shao Si said lightly: "No fight. I'm too lazy to mess with them."
Li Guangzong didn't quite understand: "Then what are we doing?"
After the car drove steadily, Shao Si slowly opened his mouth and said, "Let's watch a play."
"Watching a play?"
"The name of the play is, Dog Bites Dog. It's very interesting."
Li Guangzong half-knowledge: "Oh?"
Shao Si was closing his eyes and going to sleep when Gu Yanzhou sent another WeChat message.
[Gu Yanzhou]: Check Weibo, An Yin has stepped forward.
These few words surprised Shao Si.
He paused with his fingertips on the screen, and then replied with three words "Got it". Before pressing the send button, he stopped again, found a cold and particularly flat emoticon in the emoticon library, and added it.
An Yin wrote a long Weibo this time, with a lot of information.
She should have posted it secretly without telling Sister Ping. If Wang Ping knew about this kind of thing, she would scold her to death—why come out and speak out when the storm is on the cusp? Everyone has nothing to do with themselves and shrinks to the side, what can you do.
On that long Weibo article, An Yin wrote the first sentence: During this time, I have been thinking about what kind of person I want to be. Including my career... I am an actor, I am an entertainer, but what is my ultimate pursuit of my career? Besides money, why should I choose this career and fight for it
An Yin analyzed herself frankly and profoundly.
She wrote at the end: Sorry, because of cowardice and selfishness, I only stand up now.
Shao Si casually gave her a thumbs up, then propped his head and thought: This is it.
An Yin is really a timely rain.
What is most panicking now is not Qi Ming, but Qi Xiayang.
After this fluctuation, there must have been a gap between them. Qi Xiayang was the one with the weakest stand among them. In other words, she no longer trusted Qi Ming, but she suffered from the fact that there was no better choice now.
So... what if
What would she do if a "better" option were presented to her now
She would think that she had grasped a life-saving straw, thinking that she could get out of the muddy water and go ashore, but she didn't know that this straw would wrap around her neck and drag her to a darker, deeper, and more difficult place to struggle.
—they will all be lost forever.
Qi Xiayang hasn't been out these few days. The windows are closed.
Because as soon as she went out, she had to face the swarming media, and she couldn't answer those sharp questions, fearing that she would make too many mistakes. And surrounded by layers, she felt like a joke who had been stripped naked and placed on the street. She was already naked but tried her best to pretend that she was wearing beautiful clothes.
Unprecedented pressure enveloped her.
On this day, the weather outside was bright, but she didn't even dare to open the curtains.
Qi Xiayang walked back and forth in the living room, biting her nails while walking. The manicures that had been done for several hours were all pitted by her, and there was a bucket of instant noodles at her feet.
She hasn't combed her hair for a few days, and her curly hair is very messy. Walking to the window, carefully opening a corner, there are several vans downstairs, the windows are wide open, and two cameras are driving on them.
The big lens is like a silent monster, staring at her silently, making her hairs stand on end.
"I'm going crazy, I really can't take it anymore." Qi Xiayang called Qi Ming with shaking hands, "You said you can solve this matter soon, when is it soon, huh? My life is in shambles! I can't even leave the house, I…”
Qi Ming was eating slowly and methodically in the hotel, and he even had time to take out a tissue to wipe his mouth: "What are you in a hurry for?"
"Tell me, why am I not in a hurry? You are not the one who is emotionally blocked. You are lucky now, hiding abroad alone." Qi Xiayang gritted his teeth and said, "The family is about to fall apart, you know, the reporters are all I chased them all over the house. Your mother chased me two days ago and asked me what was going on... I didn’t even know how to answer. They have to be pointed at when they go out now. How about you, are you comfortable in the United States? ?”
Qi Ming said: "I told you, I have something important to do this time, and I came to America to do business."
Qi Xiayang sneered.
As if he hadn't heard of it, Qi Ming continued, "Let's make a fuss, let them make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better. Don't worry, as long as you have the last laugh, whether it's fifty or a hundred steps, it doesn't matter, you have to hold your breath."
"Qi Ming, don't make me a fool." Qi Xiayang clenched his fists angrily.
He and Yang Yu were obviously thinking that if the final situation was irreversible, they would push her out as a shield.
As soon as An Yin spoke up, the situation that had already been settled was reversed again, and everyone began to maintain a wait-and-see attitude, even because the few words they gave were too thin—
Especially Qi Xiayang, who plagiarized the author's testimony, looked ridiculous.
Looking at the sea view outside the window, Qi Ming raised his red wine glass and said perfunctorily, "Don't think too much, it's not that complicated. Don't talk about it, the client is here, I'll contact you later."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Qi Xiayang felt weak for a while. Leaning against the door panel, she slid down slowly, and finally sat down on the ground.
——Her originally good life was messed up! All the copyright fees obtained are in vain!
She gritted her teeth and trembled all over.
During this period of time, she was locked in the room, and all her emotions were backlogged together. She couldn't help but start thinking wildly: They just want to abandon me, and then they will definitely push me out... Then I will be ruined.
Qi Xiayang can't do anything while staying at home during this period, the only thing she can do is go online, but even if she goes online, she dare not log in to any social accounts.
Except email.
Qi Ming is now in the United States, and it is not very convenient to make a phone call, and he often cannot answer the phone, so they usually contact by email if they have something to do.
It's just that there are fewer and fewer emails now...
Qi Xiayang sat on the ground with dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, the computer placed on the sofa not far away made a ding-dong sound, and a light flashed on the screen:
[You have a new email. ]
Just as Shao Si sent the email, Gu Yanzhou happened to come out of the gym. He was wearing a vest, and his hair was dripping with water, flowing down his chin.
Gu Yanzhou walked to the refrigerator, bent down and took a can of ice water: "She will watch?"
Shao Si looked at the words 'delivered successfully', and then threw the laptop aside: "Qi Ming likes to contact people by email, and Qi Xiayang was blocked by reporters and couldn't get out."
Therefore, she must be able to surf the Internet, otherwise how would she stay at home for so many days.
Gu Yanzhou just opened the can with one hand, curled up his index finger, and before he could drink it, Shao Si went straight off the sofa, grabbed the can of ice water, and said with a blank expression: "Drinking cold hurts your stomach, you sit, I will drink it." Pour you a cup of hot water... How about West Lake Longjing?"
Gu Yanzhou knew from his appearance that this person was very concerned about the day's affairs.
"There is no Dragon Well at home," Gu Yanzhou, with both hands free, wrapped his arms around Shao Si's waist and coaxed him, "You're still angry, ancestor, you have a bad stomach...I pressed you yesterday and didn't touch you a few times, but after I just rubbed your stomach."
Shao Si: "Oh, it sounds like you are aggrieved?"
Gu Yanzhou nodded: "A little bit."
"There's a ghost." Shao Si returned the ice water to him, wanting to get out of his arms, "Stay away from me, you're covered in sweat."
Gu Yanzhou took it readily, but the other hand showed no sign of letting go. Instead, he grabbed his hand and burrowed into the hem of his vest, and said in a deep voice, "Just to discuss... I'll let you touch your abdominal muscles. I kiss."
Shao Si: "Who cares about your abdominal muscles?"
Gu Yanzhou: "You say the same thing yourself."
"..."
Shao Si's temples twitched twice, and then he kicked him directly: "I already have it, but it's not obvious... You hurry up and take a shower, or you'll consciously stay three meters away from me."
Gu Yanzhou smiled and leaned over to ask for a kiss without any explanation. His hands were clasped on the back of Shao Si's head, close to him.
Shao Si spoke harshly, but in reality he didn't even care about the aggressive "three meters away" just now. It didn't take long before he actively wrapped his arms around Gu Yanzhou's waist, pinched his waist with his hands, and let the other party slowly deepen the tension. kiss.
"Listen to you, go take a shower."
Gu Yanzhou kissed Shao Si's lips comfortingly for the last time, and whispered, "Do you want to go together?"
When Shao Si opened his eyes, there was a layer of mist in his eyes, and his voice was not quite right—the ending sound was dragged out, and he hooked up slightly. But he still turned his face and said: "Are you dreaming? Go away, three meters away, don't even think about it."
