Chapter 76
Xia Yan is a man of strong action.
This can be seen from the fact that in his last world, he repeatedly watched the same movie in order to play a good scumbag. With a new goal, he quickly dealt with his own affairs.
Wen Changming has not contacted him since the last chat, and he will not make things boring for himself.
Shen Wenqing often sends him messages, but the fact that he was suppressed by the Omega really hit someone hard, so he perfunctorily replied a few words and tried to avoid meeting him.
The only thing he needs to deal with carefully is the Sunday band.
After the news that an agent found Tang Zihang and hoped that he would enter the entertainment industry spread, the atmosphere of the band became a little subtle.
Who in a band doesn't want to stand out?
Tang Zihang has not agreed yet, and he is reluctant to leave everyone, but they all know that one day, he will leave.
And Fan Ting has saved a sum of money over the years, and is planning to open his own store to provide a stable life for his wife and unborn child.
They were reunited because of fate, and after a pleasant journey, they went their separate ways for the future.
Since no one is willing to speak? Then he will be the villain.
Xia Yan booked a restaurant and notified the time and place directly in the group, saying that he had something important to say and asked them to come.
Everyone is not stupid, and they vaguely smelled the smell of parting.
They forced themselves to cheer and broke the silence with silly words, but the last meal was still a bit forced, and everyone's smile was superficial.
Xia Yan sighed silently, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a wet towel: "I wanted to tell you after we finished eating, but it seems that you can't eat now."
The voices of the three people stopped abruptly, and only the hum of the air conditioner was left in the box.
The young man sat upright, and his previous frivolity and debauchery were gone, showing a bit of peace. His beautiful and passionate peach blossom eyes blinked gently, and the people he stared at sat up straight involuntarily.
"Sunday band, disband."
His tone was very light, but it did not allow for rebuttal.
Silence, a long silence.
"That... is it because of me?" Tang Zihang bit his lip and stretched out a hand weakly, like a primary school student raising his hand to answer.
Xia Yan shook his head: "No."
Fan Ting: "It must be because of me. I have been slacking off recently because of the store business. After a while--"
"It has nothing to do with you." Xia Yan interrupted them, "It's my fault. I am going to leave Shanghai and can't participate in the band's performances anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples arose.
Three people stood up at the same time, six eyes staring at him at the same time, still chattering.
Shao Jiaze exaggerated and cried: "Xia Yan, you can't leave! After you leave, where can I find a beauty like you?"
"What happened?" As the oldest member of the band, Fan Ting considered it more comprehensively.
Tang Zihang's eyes were filled with tears: "Is it, is it because of me? Because of Yan Ming, those words I said made you, Brother Xia, uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I was so mad at him at that time that I lost my mind, wuwuwu."
The three sounds mixed together were simply noise pollution.
Xia Yan rubbed his temples and stretched out a hand: "Stop! Speak slowly one by one. Although I won't change even if you tell me, I can listen."
"..."
Shao Jiaze cracked his fingers: "My fist is stiff."
"Don't hit people in the face. Also, remember to find a better real estate agent."
The topic changed too quickly, Tang Zihang didn't react, and asked stupidly: "Why do you want to find an agent?"
Xia Yan: "My price is too expensive, our sister Shao will lose everything."
"Damn! You are too cruel to our relationship." Shao Jiaze took a step back and pretended to be shot by a bow and arrow, "I only see the new people crying, but don't hear the old people laughing." With
this commotion, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed. Fan Ting held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist: "Hahahaha, you guys are so funny."
Tang Zihang was a little slow to react and smiled with pursed lips.
After they laughed enough, they discussed the band. Xia Yan's reason for leaving was that he had had enough fun and wanted to change places, which was in line with his personality.
Shao Jiaze was not from the music college. She was now a junior and would go for an internship next year as a senior. In fact, she didn't have much time.
Everyone had a reason to leave, and no one had to let anyone down.
Everyone was looking forward to the future, but also sad to leave. But at this moment, everyone tried their best to suppress their sadness and wished each other all the best and a happy life.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was already half drunk.
Fan Ting put the wine glass heavily on the table, looked at the bewildered Tang Zihang, and said earnestly: "Xiaohang! You must learn to think about yourself in the future, be thicker-skinned, and don't be so shy." "
Ah?"
"It's a good thing that your agent wants you to go to the entertainment industry. You should go when you should. Don't delay your future for others. Even if we are friends, it's not worth it."
Tang Zihang was also drunk, his face flushed: "I can't bear to leave you."
"Nowadays, transportation is well developed, and it's not ancient times. We can still get together in the future!" Shao Jiaze patted his back with a big hand, and almost slapped him into the plate with one slap.
Tang Zihang coughed twice, trembling as he looked at the silent young man, his eyes full of expectation: "Brother Xia, can I come to play with you in the future?"
Xia Yan's alcohol tolerance had long been trained, and now he was the most sober in the room.
He nodded: "Yes...if I didn't disappear."
The latter sentence was spoken very softly, and Tang Zihang didn't hear it clearly. He only heard the first two words and smiled with satisfaction.
After eating and drinking, the four people came out of the hotel. Fan Ting had his wife to pick up people, Shao Jiaze had his girlfriend, and finally only Xia Yan and Tang Zihang were left.
Tang Zihang held his mobile phone: "My roommate will be here in ten minutes."
"Yeah."
Xia Yan pulled open his collar to let the cool breeze take away the heat.
A small piece of skin was exposed at the clavicle, and it was gleaming under the bright street lights. Tang Zihang lowered his head in panic, but after two seconds, he couldn't help but look up and secretly looked at him.
"Brother Xia."
Xia Yan turned his head to look at him.
Being stared at by him, Tang Zihang couldn't help but get nervous. He rehearsed the sentence several times in his mind before he stammered, "I'm sorry. I know you may not need it, Brother Xia, but I still want to say it again, really... I'm sorry."
Xia Yan had almost forgotten what happened that day, and he didn't care about the rumors: "I forgive you."
"Thank you, Brother Xia." Tang Zihang sniffed, his eyes full of admiration for him, like a puppy praised by his owner.
"My roommate is here. Brother Xia, I'm leaving."
"Wait."
"?"
"Here's the scarf for you." Xia Yan pulled off the wool scarf from his shoulders and draped it around the young man's neck, "Don't wear so little next time you go out." He was sniffling from the cold.
Tang Zihang, who was moved and wanted to cry, gasped even louder: "Ah... OK, thank you, thank you Brother Xia."
Xia Yan: "..." Something seemed wrong.
*
The disbandment of the Sunday band caused an uproar in the bar.
People speculated on the reasons. There were gossips that Xia Yan and Tang Zihang were not in harmony because of Yan Ming, there were cold-blooded remarks that Tang Zihang left and abandoned his teammates, and there were also rumors that Xia Yan climbed up the ladder and decided to be a gigolo in the future.
In general, everyone believed the latter more.
Shen Wenqing got the news from somewhere and asked Xia Yan, but was dismissed by Xia Yan in a few words.
In the blink of an eye, there were only fifteen days left before the Chinese New Year.
Xu Rang did not resign, but took a long vacation, packed lightly, and set off for his hometown with Xia Yan.
Xia Yan never wronged himself. He booked business tickets for the two of them. Most of the people in the computer case were glamorous urban beauties. Xia Yan was also wearing branded clothes. Xu Rang mixed in with them, like an ugly duckling running into a group of swans.
He followed Xia Yan cautiously, like a little follower, serving him.
Perhaps it was because the young man's appearance was too handsome and eye-catching. Even during the tiring journey, there were still Alphas who were eager to approach him.
The man was about thirty years old, with regular features, barely handsome, and a good figure. His muscles lifted his suit, making his shoulders look broad and his legs look long.
"Hello." He bowed slightly, his posture calm and proper. "May I have the honor of having a drink with you?" Champagne and red wine were provided on the plane.
The young man raised his eyelids: "No."
The man compromised and said: "Can we exchange contact information? I am a fashion designer, maybe I can design clothes you like for you."
"Sir." The young man put down the magazine in his hand, "It's really rude to chat up in front of my boyfriend."
Xu Rang was choked by the mineral water: "Ahem."
The man pointed at Xu Rang and said in disbelief: "Boyfriend? Him?? This is impossible."
Xia Yan: "It's normal for Beta to be together."
"No...but you..." The man sighed and took two steps back, "OK! I know you are not interested in me anymore, I'm sorry to disturb you, but you don't have to... tell such a completely untrustworthy lie."
Xia Yan: "..."
Xu Rang: "..." Although he knew himself well and knew that he was not worthy of Xia Yan, he was still angry when he was belittled like this.
There were not many people in the business class. After the man's commotion, those who were not confident of winning the beauty did not bother them.
The plane landed in City B. Xia Yan and his friends rested for a night. The next morning, they took the high-speed train back to their hometown.
A poor and remote place.
