drunk
There was no conversation along the way. After sending Xie Qi back home, Xie Qi was still looking at the sky.
"What are you doing staring at the sky?"
"It's going to snow."
"Then go in early."
I thought he would say a few more words, but unexpectedly, Xie Qi really turned around and walked in without any reluctance.
Yu Xiushi, on the other hand, stared at the closed door for a long time before leaving.
That's right, he probably meant nothing to Xie Qi. Although he didn't point it out, there was no need to be nice to him after being rejected.
It was almost dark when Yu Xiushi got home. He saw a car parked outside his house.
When he arrived at the door, someone got out of the car and waited for him.
This person will not admit his mistakes when he is repairing.
He parked the car at the door. Seeing that he had no intention of driving in, Cheng Zeyu could only walk over.
"Xiu Shi." When he saw that there was no one in the car, he secretly rejoiced.
"Why are you here?"
"I saw you were unhappy today, so I went to your studio to look for you when I was free, but you weren't there. I had no choice but to come to your house, but you weren't home either, so I waited until now."
In reality, he had lost Yu Xiushi on the way, and he was unwilling to accept this, but also worried that Yu Xiushi would take Xie Qi home, so he came here specifically to block them. Just as he was hesitating on how to subtly tell Yu Shengda and the others about Yu Xiushi and Xie Qi without Yu Xiushi knowing it was him who said it, Yu Xiushi came back.
"Well, I'm fine. It's getting dark. You should go back early."
Cheng Zeyu wanted to ask about Xie Qi indirectly, but Yu Xiushi directly ordered him to leave and didn't even bother to let him in.
Cheng Zeyu patiently bent over and said to him, "Are you in a bad mood? Do you want me to have a few drinks with you? It seems like we haven't had a drink together for a long time."
"No." Yu Xiushi pressed his phone against the car window. "Jin Man asked me if I knew where you were and asked you to go back early."
The smile on Cheng Zeyu's face froze for a moment.
Yu Xiushi threw the phone back to the passenger seat and said, "Let's go home early. There should be a lot of relatives coming to our house for dinner today. It's a good opportunity to get to know each other."
Cheng Zeyu felt that Yu Xiushi was mocking him for not going back to support the Tao family, and he clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves.
Yu Xiushi didn't notice his expression and drove in after saying this.
Snowflakes drifted down from the night sky, landing in this silent manor covered in thick fog, and immediately turned into water droplets and merged into the ground.
A lantern dispersed the surrounding fog, and Xie Qi, draped in his coat, walked along the path illuminated by the lantern. The closer he got, the more he could sense a sense of danger.
When he entered the main house, the path became wider. On both sides of the path stood servants holding lanterns, their faces hidden under their cloaks.
Quiet and solemn.
The lights in the main house were bright, as if waiting for him.
Xie Qi walked into the main house and immediately saw Cen Yuan fast asleep on the sofa. Beside him sat a chair, a person embracing a book, reading it for a few seconds before flipping through the pages. Xie Qi could see his and Cen Yuan's names written on the book from ten meters away. He tossed his coat to a servant and walked over to sit beside Cen Yuan.
"I told you that you are abnormal." The man closed the book after reading the last page. His voice was as clear as the wind, with a hint of charlatanism.
"You're back from the dead, Xia Ji. I heard you were alive a long time ago, why did you show up now?"
Xie Qi took the pendant that was placed on the small table beside him and looked at it carefully to make sure that it had not been stolen by "someone" during his absence, and that nothing inside was missing.
"He's been dead for too long, and there's something wrong with his brain."
After closing the book, Xia Ji covered the lower half of his face with the book, leaving only a pair of black eyes staring at Xie Qi.
"Did you figure out anything?" Xie Qi asked him.
"Do you like Yu Xiushi?"
Xie Qi's heartbeat was steady.
"I don't know about that. I think I'm just watching the fun." He thought for a moment and said this.
"There's no need to go in and watch the fun." Xia Ji's eyes became sharp. "And thinking is also hesitation, and hesitation will lead to avoidance."
Xie Qi actually felt speechless. Silence was the right thing to do when one didn't know.
"Since you don't understand, the people in the council will make it clear to you."
He came suddenly and left suddenly. Xia Ji disappeared into the boundless darkness surrounded by a group of servants. In the huge house, only Cen Yuan's faint breathing could be heard.
When the filming started again, Xie Qi followed Cen Yuan to film as usual, but he no longer appeared in the crew. It was when Cen Yuan returned to Xie Qi's car during dinner that someone saw Xie Qi in the car and realized that Xie Qi had been waiting for Cen Yuan in the car.
The crew members gradually realized that something was wrong.
Zheng Jicue only found out when Zeng Xin asked him if he knew what had happened. He went out early and came back late after restarting the machine from the opposite side.
Every day, he would leave the house before anyone came to the opposite side, and would only go home after seeing the surveillance footage of the other side finishing work. Luo Ming was amazed at how much he loved his work.
He wanted to ask and understand, but he was not qualified.
Soon, Zeng Xin also noticed that something was wrong with him. She didn't know what she had imagined, but she never asked him about Cen Yuan and Xie Qi again after that.
Apart from the information he learned from the Internet, Zheng Jicue had completely lost his source of information about Cen Yuan.
Obviously the distance between them is so close.
After returning to work, Luo Ming felt that Zheng Jijue was terrifyingly strong. He was more active at work than he was, yet he was even more silent than before. He used to sneer at him, but now he wouldn't even glance at him. He was still alive, but he felt like he had lost his soul, a hollow place. Luo Ming tried to ask him several times what was wrong, but Zheng Jijue clearly didn't want to talk to him. Luo Ming was terrified every time he saw him, afraid he would suddenly go crazy.
By the end of March, Zheng Jijue had finally signed the copyright for "Becoming a God." Qiu Yusese shook hands with Zheng Jijue at Yinxing and expressed her anticipation for Cen Yuan's performance.
When Zheng Ji Jue heard Cen Yuan's name, he was obviously stunned. It had been so long that Qiu Yusese even suspected that he was just trying to cheat the copyright and change the actor.
He smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."
Everyone, including Luo Ming, breathed a sigh of relief. His expression just now was truly intimidating. Qiu Yuse finally felt relieved.
Even though Cen Yuan's name was on the contract, she was really afraid that Zheng Jijue was rich and would act first and ask for permission later. After the film was finished and the show was broadcast, she wouldn't be able to get much compensation even if she made a fuss.
She has made up her mind that if Cen Yuan can really make the film, she will be a fan of Zheng Jijue and Cen Yuan's CP from now on!
The Silver Star CEO wanted to invite them to dinner, but Zheng Ji Jue refused without a second thought. The Silver Star CEO could only send them off with regret.
Luo Ming came here today to sign the contract, so he took Zheng Jicue's car to come here.
Zheng Jicue didn't ask Luo Ming and drove straight towards his home.
After driving for a while, Luo Ming asked quietly, "What's going on with you lately? Are you having trouble with your family again?"
After asking, the car returned to silence. After a while, Zheng Jijue replied, "No."
"Oh, do you want to go for a drink to celebrate signing 'Becoming a God'?"
"No, drinking is harmful to your health."
He said it was harmful to his health, but the car drove to Xiqiao Road Square. Before Luo Ming could feel his expression and say a few soothing words, Zheng Jijue got out of the car with two bottles of beer. He found a seat, opened a can of beer and drank it.
I don’t know when it started, but there were so many people drinking on the roadside in Xiqiao Road Square.
As he drank, Luo Ming found that he was dizzy, otherwise how could he see Zheng Jicue crying.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure that it was not the alcohol that splashed into the corners of his eyes when he tilted his head back to drink beer.
Then Zheng Jicue took out a bottle of white wine from somewhere and drank it quickly, which scared Luo Ming.
"Fuck." Luo Ming scratched his yellow hair and cursed inwardly.
If Zheng Jichou gets drunk and goes crazy, this little yellow-haired boy won’t be able to beat him!
He asked tentatively, "How about I take you back?"
"don't want."
Zheng Ji Jue refused flatly.
"Today... the filming is over..."
Later, this sentence was said vaguely, and Luo Ming only understood a little bit. He didn't think anything of it at first, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
As far as he knew, the only crew that Zheng Jichou cared about was Cen Yuan's "Silent Mourning". He didn't pay attention to when it would be completed, but it was about this time.
The fact that he bought a house right next to where Cen Yuan was filming revealed just how much Zheng Jicue would go to in order to chase his idol. The crew was about to wrap up filming, and today, this idol-chaser was actually drinking beer and refusing to leave.
It can't be that he is reluctant to let Cen Yuan see his idol every day when he wakes up, so he is so sad that he dare not even look at him, right?
Luo Ming was shocked by his own idea.
Is Zheng Jijue such a melancholic person? Obviously not.
You don't have to get drunk and cry just to finish the game, right?
However, no matter how Luo Ming tried to hint at it, Zheng Jicue did not reveal any useful information.
The big screen in Xiqiao Square is about an artist who has become popular recently. Since Cen Yuan appeared on the big screen last year, it has promoted the big screen check-in trend. Now, celebrities buy big screens in Xiqiao Square every day for fans to check in.
While drinking, Zheng Jicue's depressed and heartbroken appearance had attracted many people.
Luo Ming was terribly anxious. These were all people in the fan circle. With Zheng Jicue's face that had been trending on the search results, it was only a matter of time before people recognized him.
Unfortunately, no matter how he winked, Zheng Jicue only had eyes for wine.
As a last resort, Luo Ming could only carry Zheng Jicue and find a designated driver to take him home.
As soon as the car stopped, Zheng Jijue got out and covered his mouth, about to vomit.
After vomiting for a long time without any result, he looked up and saw that the power across the street had been cut off and the building was deserted.
He couldn't even say congratulations on the completion of the filming.
His eyes gradually became moist, the alcohol made his brain dull, and when he vomited, he was already supported by Luo Ming.
"Sir, do you need any help?" the designated driver asked before leaving.
"No need, you should go back early." Luo Ming gritted his teeth as he was pressed down by half of Zheng Jicue's body weight. He was sweating even though he was outdoors in the middle of winter.
After finally carrying Zheng Jijue into his house, Luo Ming was so tired that he threw him directly onto the sofa. Zheng Jijue didn't even blink at him, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Luo Ming went to look through his refrigerator, but found nothing inside except a few bottles of water.
He could only take two bottles of water, sit down on the sofa opposite Zheng Jicue, and drink the water with his head tilted back.
Wait...where's the person lying opposite?
Luo Ming didn't see Zheng Jicue out of the corner of his eye, and he choked on the water and coughed for a long time.
"Brother Zheng?"
"Zheng Ji Jue?"
"Where are you?"
Luo Ming searched room by room, even scanning the entire large swimming pool for fear that Zheng Jijue had dove in. He couldn't find him on the first floor, so he climbed up to the second floor. Passing by the window facing the main door, he saw a man stumbling out through the streetlight.
