Chapter 73
However, Guan Heng left the dormitory that night.
Not one person was told.
The luggage had been packed long ago. There weren't many things originally.
When I left, I pulled a suitcase. Fans were waiting at the door. The weather was a bit cold. The girls got the news from somewhere and their lips turned white from the cold. However, they were reluctant to leave and just stared at the empty iron gate.
I shouldn't have gone there in the first place, but I ended up taking a detour.
He waved at the iron gate, said "Don't worry", and got on the bus as his name was suddenly called loudly.
The heater was on in the car.
The person who picked him up was his cousin, who was not from the entertainment industry and was just passing by.
There was quiet music playing in the car, and his cousin said, "Brother, your parents are at my house, let's have dinner together tonight?"
He responded, but was dazed for a moment because of a certain name.
Ai Qingyuan didn't come in the end.
Guan Heng felt a little regretful and a little fortunate.
It's a pity that after so many years of relationship, the departure was so sudden and we didn't even have the chance to say a few words to each other in the end. Fortunately, he met Xichao who understood him.
Jie Xichao understood him.
So someone finished up the unfinished words for him.
That's enough.
The car started and he looked in the rearview mirror. The place that had once given him his last hope gradually disappeared from his sight. He knew he would never come back.
He will run towards his future.
He was not sure what the future would be like, but at this moment, he felt more relaxed than ever.
On the other side, after Xie Xichao said that, Ai Qingyuan's eyes turned red.
There is no air conditioning or heating on the rooftop. The fewer people there were, the more lonely it seemed. The young man just stood there, staring at the gentle and clean boy in front of him, as if he had said something unforgivable.
Xie Xichao said: "...Don't stare at me."
The stare was creepy.
He thought for a moment and said, "Eat candy?"
He took out a handful of candies from Fu Wenzhe from his pocket.
Ai Qingyuan didn't answer.
Jie Xichao silently took it back, peeled one and chewed it and ate it.
After eating, he left the rooftop.
Ai Qingyuan did not catch up with him, but when he was going downstairs, Jie Xichao saw his dejected figure reflected in the glass.
-
Ai Qingyuan was depressed for many days.
He used to be in a bad mood sometimes. When he was in a bad mood, he would have a sullen face and say very little. People rarely annoyed him, but he rarely had such moments of complete silence.
Even Fu Wen Ze couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He probably knew something about the situation, but he didn't know everything.
He said, "I'm just withdrawing from the competition. It doesn't mean we won't contact each other anymore. Why do you have to?"
The tone was full of disapproval.
He has always disliked Ai Qingyuan, and he dislikes everything about him.
Ai Qingyuan didn't say anything.
He didn’t say anything at first, but after a while he said, “…maybe we won’t be in touch anymore.”
The voice is a little hoarse.
Fu Wen Ze almost forgot to put down the dumbbells in his hands.
He looked at Ai Qingyuan, then at Jie Xichao who was pretending to pass by, and always felt that the way he got up today was wrong.
He provoked Ai Qingyuan when he was in a bad mood, but he didn't get angry and instead explained to him. Although this explanation is a bit of a make-up and the timing is awkward, this is really a surprise that red rain is about to fall.
After Ai Qingyuan left, he asked Jie Xichao: "Is he crazy?"
Xie Xichao:.
So direct.
"Maybe." He said, "I think he has changed his personality."
Fu Wenze didn't understand: "Just because Guan Heng withdrew from the competition?"
Xie Xichao: “Yeah.”
Fu Wenze: “…”
He didn't understand, but accepted it.
After Ai Qingyuan's temper improved, he indeed had fewer worries.
Occasionally, he still missed the noisy atmosphere in the dormitory when Guan Heng was there.
*
On the fifth day of Ai Qingyuan's depression, Jie Xichao brought a tray and sat down in front of him.
He said, "You're still angry with me."
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
"When have I ever been angry with you?" he said.
baffling.
Not angry indeed. I just don't want to face him. Children are thin-skinned, and when their problems are pointed out to their faces, they feel guilty and regretful, so they subconsciously want to avoid the source of their emotions.
Xie Xichao knew it very well.
It’s clear, but I still want to tease: “You ignored me these past two days.”
"You don't even call me for dinner," he said.
The voice sounded a bit aggrieved.
Ai Qingyuan: “…………”
no.
He thought incredulously.
How old are you?
Can’t you eat by yourself?
He began to stare at Jie Xichao, and as he stared, he remembered something. So Jie Xichao watched the changeable expression on his face, which finally turned into an indescribable frustration.
He said: "...Then I will call you next time."
Xie Xichao almost choked.
He turned his head and coughed a few times. Ai Qingyuan looked at him with disgust on his face, but still honestly handed him the tissue.
After Xie Xichao finished choking, he calmed down and said:
"Be normal."
Ai Qingyuan was filled with sorrow: "What's wrong with me?"
Xie Xichao said: "Even if you want to change your temper, take it slowly. Also, don't use too much force."
Very scary.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
He wanted to say something, but finally held it back.
Finally, he said, “I can’t.”
The sound is muffled. All the resentment, self-hurt and grievances accumulated over these days.
He really can't.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never cared about anyone's expression, even at home, he would slam the door whenever he wanted. No one in their family will be in a "stabbed" state.
In fact, his parents, especially his father, said countless hurtful words to him, but he just ignored them.
He has never learned to empathize with other people's emotions.
He only knew that he felt comfortable being with people like Guan Heng and Jie Xichao, but he never thought about why it was comfortable. And why is he often shunned?
Jie Xichao observed the man's expressions and sighed secretly in his heart.
Then he said, "If your brother knew how hard you work, he would be very pleased."
Ai Qingyuan suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "Actually, what you said that day wasn't just because of my temper."
Not suitable to be friends.
Why is it not suitable?
His inability to learn to be considerate of others was one factor, but the fundamental reason was the huge gap in background between him and Guan Heng. It's just that if his emotional intelligence was higher, he could avoid some possible resentment caused by this gap.
But the gap still exists.
"You've really improved." Xie Xichao praised him generously, as if he were praising a child.
Ai Qingyuan snorted, lowered his head and poked the rice grains with chopsticks.
Then he said, "I have been thinking about this question these past few days. I have always said that I want to compete with you fairly... but in fact, it is not very fair."
The tone was somewhat self-deprecating.
-
He has been thinking a lot these days.
He could not understand Guan Heng's state of mind because he had never been in such a difficult situation.
Similarly, what he called fair competition with Xi Chao was actually a greenhouse created by the company and the program team. He claimed that he wanted to leave the protection of his family, but in fact, he was still enjoying the benefits brought by the surname Ai.
And he didn't actually refuse.
In comparison, Xie Xichao was able to reach the center position despite being suppressed like this, relying not only on his strength, but also on his intelligence and emotional intelligence.
There is indeed a huge difference between him and Jie Xichao.
"I lost," he said, "but... I don't know what to do."
He raised his head, looked at Jie Xichao, and pursed his lips, "Can you, can you teach me?"
Saying this, he almost used up all his self-esteem.
He literally grew up overnight.
With a lesson that will remain in his memory forever.
Xie Xichao looked at his face and suddenly said, "What you just said is indeed correct. But there is one thing I didn't tell you."
Ai Qingyuan blinked.
Xie Xichao smiled and said, "Guan Heng is a good person, but he can't be friends with everyone. Being friends with you is so stressful, and you still treat him like that, but he has been taking care of you until now, and he even refused the information the company asked him to give you. Guess why?"
Ai Qingyuan was stunned.
Xie Xi drank water from Shi Ran and said, "Your brother said yesterday that we shouldn't contact each other recently."
Ai Qingyuan:!
The haze of many days was swept away, and he finally saw the light.
right!
Guan Heng was talking about recently!
This shows that he is not completely useless, he still has some good points. He was just disappointed in him temporarily. So, he still has a chance to recover.
The thought cheered him up.
Xie Xichao saw his expression and knew that he was motivated again. He just smiled and finished the second half of the sentence: "As for the rest, this is a balance that you need to slowly explore."
“I’m groping, too,” he said. “We all are groping.”
"For myself, in this regard, one of my life principles is to have a clear conscience."
"I think that's enough," he said.
After all, wealth and status are objective things.
Xie Xichao actually has a deep understanding of this.
As a top figure in the entertainment industry, whether intentionally or unintentionally, people everywhere are making things convenient for him. This is an objective fact. At that time, Jie Xichao acted as a villain because of the role required, but he was secretly reminding himself in his heart.
Remind yourself that once you return you will have the opportunity to stand in such a position, so don't forget your original intention.
Don't be too hard on yourself, and don't indulge yourself either, and you will have a clear conscience.
Ai Qingyuan suddenly realized.
For a moment, everything in the past seemed like a dream.
After a while, he said solemnly: "Thank you."
"... Even if you say thank you, I won't forgive you for letting the chicken drumsticks get cold." Xie Xichao reminded, "Are you going to eat it or not?"
That was the last big chicken leg, fresh, fragrant and soft.
As a result, it was taken away by Ai Qingyuan, who was standing in front of him and was in a trance.
He stared for a long time.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
All his emotions were gone, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Eat, eat, eat. Just eat!"
"Take it away from me!"
Xie Xichao blinked and said, "Did you really take it away?"
Ai Qingyuan: "Take your chicken legs and get out of my green grassland, thank you:)"
Jie Xichao silently took away his chicken leg, gave him a cup of yogurt, and ate it happily.
And at this moment, the related forums and super topics of "Super Rookie" have become lively again.
At twelve noon, the song selection for the third public performance ended.
In the five minutes before the deadline, there was a big drama in the race for votes.
