Most of the time, Ji Xiunian is wise and clear-headed, polite and restrained.

But tonight, with a little bit of alcohol, his emotions were infinitely magnified, and he spoke according to his heart.

After the competition, the players will move out of the apartment and return to their own homes, and Lu Xu is no exception.

Ji Xiunian has known this for a long time. Even though his reason tells him that it is easy to meet even if they don't live together, he still doesn't want to separate emotionally.

"How about going home with me tonight?" Ji Xiunian's eyes were hot and frank when he spoke, as if he was a child waiting for his grades.

The people around him laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Nian, how about we go to your house together?"

Ji Xiunian frowned when he heard this and thought about their words seriously. He originally thought that it would be bad to dirty the house, but after a closer look, he saw that they were all trainees he was teaching, so he nodded and said, "Let's go to my house together."

"It's too late today, we won't go."

"Yes, there will be a chance in the future!"

The others were just talking and didn't really plan to go.

Tang Yanqing guessed that Ji Xiunian might be drunk when he saw his appearance, so he said to Lu Xu, "Let's go, let's send your brother home together."

Lu Xu glanced at Ji Xiunian, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The group said goodbye to each other and then went their separate ways.

Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian were both drunk, and Tang Yanqing was the only one who could drive.

The black Aston Martin was driving on the viaduct, and the surrounding street lights and buildings were quickly moving backwards.

Light and shadows shone into the car, passing by their faces.

Before Ji Xiunian got in the car, he seemed fine, but when he sat in the car, he couldn't stand it anymore. He leaned against the car door with one hand to support his temple , his eyes were a little dazed.

"Brother Nian, do you want to sleep for a while?" Seeing this, Lu Xu couldn't help but lean towards Ji Xiunian and said with concern.

"I have a headache." Ji Xiunian's voice was very light, which was very different from his usual appearance. If you didn't know, you would think he was acting coquettishly with Lu Xu.

Lu Xu didn't hesitate to hear that. He directly put his hands around Ji Xiunian's head and let him lean on his shoulder: "Sleep for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

His tone and actions were very natural and frank, and he looked as if he had done it countless times and it was natural.

But Ji Xiunian didn't refuse, and leaned on Lu Xu's shoulder as he was told, not forgetting to slightly adjust his body to find a relatively comfortable position.

Tang Yanqing watched their interaction from the rearview mirror, and inexplicably felt a faint lemon scent of love in the air. Later he found out that it was he who turned into a lemon spirit in a second.

Not long after Ji Xiunian leaned on Lu Xu's shoulder, he fell asleep. His breathing was very light, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked a little uncomfortable. Lu Xu looked down and saw it, and couldn't help but raise his hand, and gently pressed his index finger on his brow to help him calm down.

"You and Xiunian have a very good relationship." Tang Yanqing saw Lu Xu's actions, and suddenly felt that the two of them were really not just Ji Xiunian's one-man show.

Lu Xu smiled and didn't deny it.

Tang Yanqing couldn't help but take another look at Lu Xu, always feeling that he was a little different from the rumors outside.

It seems that Lu Xu's fans think he is a little sweet, just turned 18 years old, and has a smile on his face most of the time. He looks handsome and sweet at ordinary times, and super A on the stage. This contrast makes people want to stop.

But today, when they were alone together, Tang Yanqing found that Lu Xu was a very interesting person. Even though he looks very young, the calmness and maturity in his bones can't be changed by anyone.

Before, he was worried that Lu Xu was young and unstable in temper, and if Ji Xiunian fell too deeply in love, he would be hurt.

But now even he feels that he took it for granted at that time. If it was Lu Xu, then maturity really has nothing to do with age.

Thinking of this, Tang Yanqing envied Ji Xiunian.

Thinking of his friend's previous life, Tang Yanqing couldn't help but nag a few words: "Your brother Nian is a very good person and he values ​​feelings. He keeps many things in his heart and doesn't say them out, but he understands everything. His first half was a bit bitter. As a friend, I sincerely hope that he can live the life he wants in the future."

Ji Xiunian's resume is not a secret. Everyone in China knows that he was orphaned at a young age.

Although his family is wealthy and he became famous at a young age, he really has never felt the warmth of a family.

Tang Yanqing has known him for so long, and he has never seen him try to like anyone, nor has he seen Ji Xiunian have any intention of getting married and finding a companion.

Now that my friend finally has someone he likes, he never thought that the first person he would fall in love with would be a man.

Tang Yanqing is naturally not the kind of person who likes to nag, but since it concerns his friend's lifelong happiness, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

Coming back to his senses, he felt that he seemed to have said too much. He was about to tell Lu Xu not to worry about it, but he saw that Lu Xu, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, suddenly smiled at him: "Don't worry, Brother Tang, I will accompany Brother Nian in the future."

Even though he said this with a smile, Tang Yanqing could hear the seriousness in Lu Xu's tone.

"Okay, okay, that's good." Tang Yanqing nodded, and the stone in his heart seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Coming back to his senses and thinking about himself, he couldn't help but ask Lu Xu: "Um, is your senior sister busy recently?"

"Hmm?" Lu Xu didn't have much contact with Yu Manman in private. He just saw them chatting in the company group and occasionally replied a sentence or two to keep in touch.

As a junior, he really didn't know much about Yu Manman's schedule.

After Tang Yanqing asked, he felt that what he said was nonsense, and hurriedly found a platform for himself: "Look at me, I forgot that you didn't go out during the closed training."

Lu Xu knew from his look that he really liked Yu Manman, but one was a human and the other was a demon. The unequal lifespans were destined to be too much hardship.

He was not the person involved, so he couldn't think about the pros and cons for them.

Tang Yanqing likes Yu Manman, but whether Yu Manman likes humans is her own business.

Thinking of this, Lu Xu didn't say much, just said: "Brother Tang, if you really want to know about Senior Sister's schedule, you shouldn't ask me."

"Then who should I ask?"

"Senior Sister's schedule, Senior Sister must know it best."

Lu Xu smiled slyly, as if he saw through Tang Yanqing's mind, with a little bit of humor.

"Ahem..." Tang Yanqing wanted to ask if this would disturb Yu Manman, but then he changed his mind and felt that what Lu Xu said made sense.

The person he likes is Yu Manman, so instead of asking others to ask indirectly, he might as well ask her directly.

For a player like him who plays a roundabout way, it's hard to say when he will be able to win the beauty.

It's not shameful to like someone, if you like someone, you should pursue him openly.

After figuring this out, Tang Yanqing felt a lot more relaxed.

Ji Xiunian lives in a garden house that his parents bought before. The community environment is elegant and clean, but it's a bit quiet because there are not many residents.

Tang Yanqing turned the steering wheel with one hand and parked the car in front of Ji Xiunian's door.

He turned around and asked Lu Xu: "Do you want me to help him in?"

Lu Xu waved his hand: "No need."

He gently patted Ji Xiunian's hand, his tone still gentle: "Brother Nian, wake up, we're at your home."

Ji Xiunian's sleep quality has always been poor, but leaning on Lu Xu, he felt rare and at ease.

Hearing Ji Xiunian calling him, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked out the window, only to find that he was really home.

"Brother, thank you for your trouble." After a nap, Ji Xiunian was a little sober. Seeing Tang Yanqing sent them back, Ji Xiunian thanked him immediately.

"Oh, you are my brother, why are you being polite to me?" Tang Yanqing smiled, and then thought of something and asked Lu Xu again, "Do you want to live with your brother Nian or do you want me to take you home?"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yanqing felt a knife in his eye fall on his back. Looking back at Ji Xiunian's complicated eyes, he almost wanted to slap himself -

look, he finally brought his brother home, look at what he asked.

Tang Yanqing wanted to tell Lu Xu that you didn't say it, but words spoken are like water spilled, and it seems even weirder to deliberately correct it.

Fortunately, Lu Xu didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere between them, and just casually said: "Don't bother, I can just live in Nian Gejia. It's so late, why don't you stay with me."

"No, I have work to deal with when I go home." Tang Yanqing rejected Lu Xu's kindness without thinking. Good guy, at this time, even if there is no work, you have to create work. If he really went with him, God knows how Ji Xiunian would react. After

finally asking the two people to get out of the car, Tang Yanqing did not rush to start the car, but just took out his mobile phone and clicked on a chat interface that he had seen countless times.

Last time, by chance, he added Yu Manman's WeChat. The two of them chatted politely for a few words and nothing happened afterwards.

Tang Yanqing really wanted to chat with Yu Manman, but every time he saw her profile picture, he couldn't help but back off.

Today was the same. After hesitating for a long time and thinking about backing out, his hand shook and he clicked "pat".

"Ahhh, no way!" Tang Yanqing was so embarrassed that he poked his sweetheart without any preparation, and the whole person was a little flustered.

He wanted to withdraw but couldn't. His brain was working quickly to think about what to say to explain his behavior.

Just when he was struggling, a new message suddenly popped up on the chat page——

["Manman patted you"]

!!!

Although they were just interacting over the Internet, Tang Yanqing felt inexplicably happy, as if Yu Manman had really patted him on the head.

Perhaps Yu Manman's response gave him courage, Tang Yanqing immediately cheered up and sent her a message right away -

[Tang Yanqing: Manman, are you free to have dinner together? ]

He even added a cute cat emoticon after sending the message, and waited anxiously for Yu Manman's reply.

Soon, there really was a message from the other side -

[Manman: Sorry, Director Tang, I've been a bit busy these two days. ]

Uh...

he died before he could accomplish his mission.

Tang Yanqing felt a little disappointed, and he even felt that his question was abrupt. Just when he was about to find a way for the two of them to move forward, he saw Yu Manman sent another message -

[Manman: I'm off next week, how about we make an appointment on Wednesday, I wonder if you have time. 】

【Tang Yanqing: Yes, yes, then we'll see you on Wednesday! 】

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

The first show was a success, Tang Yanqing was so excited that he wanted to scream.

Just when he was in high spirits and was about to start the car, he suddenly saw a round cat-shaped object climbing over the wall into Ji Xiunian's villa.

"Huh?" Tang Yanqing's first reaction was Eighth Sister, but then he thought that Eighth Sister was still in the apartment waiting for Lu Xu to pick her up. It takes at least an hour and a half to drive from the apartment to here, and you have to take the highway.

Eighth Sister is just a little cat, I must have seen it wrong.

Thinking of this, Tang Yanqing didn't take this episode to heart, and his mind was full of his first dinner with Yu Manman.

He remembered that Yu Manman liked salmon, so it seemed that he had to quickly book a table at that super delicious Japanese restaurant.

On the other side, Lu Xu helped Ji Xiunian into the room.

Although Ji Xiunian had been away for a long time, the room was still super clean because someone cleaned it regularly. There were very few furniture inside, and the house was originally large, which made it look even more empty.

"Brother Nian, did you live alone before?" Lu Xu couldn't help asking after looking at the scene inside.

"Yeah." Ji Xiunian nodded, thought for a while and joked, "Maybe I'm not alone, there are also invisible things to accompany me..."

For children, those invisible things are not beautiful memories.

Even for Ji Xiunian as an adult, nightmares are always with him.

Before he could finish his words, the doorbell rang.

The night was quiet with only the sound of cicadas, and the ringing sound was a little abrupt and discordant.
