Wu Wan

Chapter 5

Zhao Duobao's first job following Jiang Shuowang back to City B was to pick up Qi Yan for a dinner party.

In the narrow carriage, the affection exuded by the two of them when they were affectionate was like an invisible hand strangling his neck, making him unable to breathe.

Naturally, he was not eligible to enter the dinner party and stayed in the hotel room with the makeup artist.There was a funny variety show on the TV in the room, and the little girl was laughing while holding snacks. Zhao Duobao was not interested in these, and he didn't want to compete with the girls, so he simply went to the balcony to blow air and let himself go.

Opposite the hotel is a vast artificial lake. The evening wind blows, reflecting the lights of the hotel, sparkling.He looked at his watch. At nine o'clock in the evening, it was almost the time he usually returned home. He didn't know if Jiang Yi would go to his house to look for him again. Zhao Duobao was shocked and came back to his senses. The most important thing is Jiang Yi's always foolish look.

During the usual blank waiting time, he always thinks about Jiang Shuowang, the way he exudes charm on stage, the way he falls asleep tiredly in the nanny car, the way he greets him with a smile and says goodbye...

Maybe it's because they know that the two people who are in love with each other in the hall downstairs are exchanging love for each other, so they instinctively avoid thinking about it.Zhao Duobao said this to himself.

After the dinner party, everyone stayed in the hotel, Jiang Shuo and Qi Yan slept in the same room, Zhao Duobao started to think about other things in order to prevent himself from thinking about what might happen in the next room, but thinking about the picture It became his own small rental house, and Jiang Yi messed around in front of him.

The next day, in order to send Qi Yan to work, Jiang Shuo forgot to drive away the car he had come in, and the rest of them had to borrow the car of another artist from Fuying to return home from the deserted suburbs.

Even though the sun is shining brightly outside, the corridors of the urban village that has not seen the sun all year round are still cold and gloomy, and the cold wind leaking from nowhere is directly drilled into the collar and cuffs.Zhao Duobao wrapped the thick coat around his body and quickened his pace upstairs.

There were a few cigarette butts scattered at the door of the house. He immediately stopped, looked around vigilantly, and approached the door quietly. Seeing that there was no suspicious person, he took a close look at the cigarette butts. The condition of the filter should be left over from the day before.

"1, 2, 3, 4." Zhao Duobao counted with his fingers, frowning slightly, "Who is smoking so much in front of my house?"

Jiang Yi.

The name popped up again, Zhao Duobao shook his head dissatisfied, scratched the cigarette end casually with his foot, and opened the door to go home.

Jiang Shuowang will prepare to join the filming team in more than a month, no longer accept new work, and concentrate on preparing for the drama, Zhao Duobao also has a leisure time, and has entered the holiday from now on.

"Bang bang bang-"

Just as night fell, the familiar knocking on the door sounded again, Zhao Duobao muttered in a daze, "I also dreamed of that broom star in my dreams." He turned over while hugging the quilt.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound didn't disappear.

Only then did Zhao Duobao realize that it was not a dream, it was someone who really smashed the door of his house, frowned, covered his head with a quilt, and tried to fall asleep again.

The sound of knocking on the door kept ringing, Zhao Duobao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "Don't knock!"

"Zhao Duobao, open the door!" Jiang Yi's voice sounded without any surprise.

"Aren't you bothered?" He said so, but the knocking on the door disturbed people so much that they couldn't sleep at all, and there was a tendency that if he didn't open the door, he would be smashed into the sky. Zhao Duobao could only get up with his eyes closed.

As soon as the door was opened, a cool breeze blew into the room. Zhao Duobao was only in his pajamas, shivering from the cold, and instantly sobered up a lot.

Jiang Yi stood at the door with a dark face, "Let me in."

"I said, what are you doing running to me all the time?"

"The feet are on my body, where do I need to report to you?"

"You are unreasonable, you came to my house!" Zhao Duobao reasoned with the person in front of him with his neck stuck.

"Don't talk." Jiang Yi stepped into the room, carrying a round lunch box in his hand, and put it on the table, "Eat."

"I don't want to eat it!" Zhao Duobao was so angry that he completely regarded this place as his home.

Jiang Yi lifted the lid, and the scent came out immediately, then turned to Zhao Duobao and raised his left hand, "You pinched my hand, it's not too much for me to ask you to accompany me for a few meals."

Zhao Duobao froze for a moment, "You, are you okay?"

Jiang Yi didn't answer him, but withdrew his hand, dragged the table to the side of the bed, sat down on the chair by himself, "Come over for dinner."

Zhao Duobao picked up a coat by the bedside and draped it over his body. He looked at the lunch box on the table. Inside was ramen with rich soup, "I don't want to eat it."

"Bring the bowl." Jiang Yi continued to give Zhao Duobao orders as if he couldn't understand human words.

"I don't want to eat." Zhao Duobao repeated again, and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "no".

Jiang Yi stood up and walked towards the kitchen-like compartment, took out two bowls and placed them on the table.

"I said I don't want to eat. If you want to eat out, don't come to my house." Zhao Duobao couldn't stand his words being ignored, and immediately issued an order to evict the guest.

Jiang Yi paused for a moment, then looked up at him with anger in his eyes.

After staring at each other for a while, Zhao Duobao lost the battle first, pointed at the gate, and paused every word, "Please go out."

Jiang Yi ate his noodles in suspense and didn't speak. Zhao Duobao repeated it again, but the other party was still indifferent.There was still half a bowl left in a large box of ramen. Jiang Yi stood up, picked up the roll paper on the table, wiped his mouth, glanced at Zhao Duobao, and left without saying a word.

"baffling."

Looking back at the ramen on the table, he walked over to clean it up and throw it away, but his stomach growled untimely, he hadn't eaten all day, and now he was really hungry because of the smell of the noodles.

Zhao Duobao hesitated again and again, picked up the lunch box and put it down again. After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yi used serving chopsticks to pick up the noodles and ate them in a small bowl, and the noodles in the lunch box were not touched at all.He gritted his teeth, sat at the table and ate directly from the lunch box.

After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, his whole body was warm, Zhao Duobao secretly scolded himself for being worthless in his heart, and comforted him in a blink of an eye, anyway, he left it by himself.

When working continuously, I always fantasize about taking a vacation to rest and plan to do such and such things, but when I really have a vacation, I don’t know what to do until the next day.

Zhao Duobao didn't bother to think about it, so he decided to stay at home and catch up on the variety shows that he hadn't watched before, saving money and effort, turning day and night upside down every day, and experiencing the life of sleeping until he woke up naturally.

However, it only took two days to make up all the files, and on the third day, I fell into endless boredom. I clicked here and there on the video website, and I quit within a minute after entering. I still couldn’t find what I wanted. Simply lie back on the bed in a daze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, he thought of Jiang Yi again. The two "broke up unhappy" that day, and he never came again.Zhao Duobao recalled the contact between the two of them, and before he knew it, the relationship between him and Jiang Yi, a friend who was not a friend, and an enemy who was not an enemy, had lasted for so long.

After eating ramen that day, he found that although there was only half of the portion left, it was just enough, not too much, and only then did he understand that maybe Jiang Yi brought it for him, including those who exchanged food with him before. Things also became clear.

Although I don't know what his purpose is, it may be to compensate for hurting himself, or it may be to thank myself for repairing his camera, in short, Jiang Yiren does not seem to be as bad as the established impression.

After thinking about it, Zhao Duobao's dislike of indebtedness made him want to apologize to Jiang Yi, but he didn't see him again for two days in a row, and he never left his contact information.It was also at this time that he realized that the thread that maintained the relationship between him and Jiang Yi had never been in his hands.
