Chapter two

Chapter two

The call was disconnected, and when I dialed back, there was only a busy signal indicating that the service was interrupted.

Sui Si clutched the phone.

They had a fake marriage for two years and nine months, and Yu Tang had always been very sensible.

Don’t talk too much, don’t do wrong things, never cross the line, don’t make excessive demands, and always stay in the position you should be in.

No matter what Sui Si says, Yu Tang will definitely listen and do it.

Sui Si never felt that he owed Yutang anything.

It was stipulated in the original contract that it would last for three years.Their marriage was just a lie from the beginning.

…

"Someone has been sent to pick up Ke Ming." Someone knocked on the door twice and pushed it open. "They will take care of it and deliver it to your home."

The person who came in was a middle-aged man, in his early forties, with a rigid expression and a meticulous suit and tie.

Sui Si raised his head and managed to regain his composure: "Brother Nie."

The person coming was Nie Chi, a professional manager sent by the Sui family.In principle, he assists Sui Si in handling various affairs of the studio. In fact, he is responsible for supervising Sui Si and reporting his movements to the Sui family at any time.

If Yu Tang hadn't been away and the studio was in chaos, Sui Si wouldn't have asked Nie Chi for help.

Nie Chi nodded: "Is there anything else?"

Sui Si slowly held the phone tightly.

In a row of red call records that no one answered, there were two event reminders set by Yutang for him.

It was still the usual tireless nagging. One section reminded him to eat on time, keep warm, and included a weather forecast of rain tonight, asking him to remember to bring an umbrella.Another paragraph said that the assistant brought the ground coffee powder, but the siphon pot in the studio was not good, and it had to be filtered again after brewing to get the right taste.

"Yutang..." Sui Si said, "I can't contact him."

Nie Chi was a little surprised: "Yutang? Don't you dislike him?"

"It has nothing to do with this."

The last call still failed to get through. Sui Si was a little irritated and stood up with force: "He was very strange today and said some inexplicable words. I'm afraid something happened to him, so I want to find out."

Yu Tang is his assistant, and so far, he is still his legal spouse.

Although he didn't like Yu Tang, there was no reason to be so cold-blooded as to leave him alone at this time.What's more, if something happens to Yu Tang, it will inevitably involve a lot of trouble.

Sui Si frowned and walked around the room a few times.

Nie Chi didn't close the door when he came in, and the cold wind blew in the wet rain and mist, which was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

Anyone who goes out and runs around in this kind of weather is simply mentally ill.

Sui Si felt even more upset. He put his cell phone into his windbreaker pocket, picked up two umbrellas, and walked out quickly.

Nie Chi had never been in the habit of asking questions. He had already started the car in advance and parked it at the door, waiting for Sui Si to get in the passenger seat.

Nie Chi fastened his seat belt and turned on the heater: "Where can I find it?"

Sui Si opened his mouth, then suddenly paused.

"Where to find me?" Nie Chi thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again, "Go back to your home?"

Sui Si said: "Yutang doesn't live in my house."

Nie Chi: "Where do you live?"

Sui Si whispered: "I don't know."

Even Nie Chi felt confused this time and turned his head to look at Sui Si.

Sui Si opened his phone and flipped through the memo Yu Tang gave him.

In order to hide their love from others, the two reluctantly showed off their love in public for several months after receiving the certificate.Yu Tang was very sensible, and when the limelight passed, he consciously packed up his things and moved out of his house.

Knowing that Sui Si was upset when he saw him, Yu Tang never appeared in front of Sui Si when he didn't need him.Even if you have to stay overnight, you will only stay in the guest room. Before leaving, everything will be returned to its original place, clean and tidy, leaving no trace.

Sui Si suddenly realized that he had never asked Yu Tang where he could live if he didn't live in the studio's staff dormitory or his home.

"I heard water."

Sui Si recovered his mind and dispelled the random thoughts that came from nowhere: "It should be by the river..."

"Which river?" Nie Chi asked, "Does he have a place he often goes to?"

Sui Si: "..."

Nie Chi had already figured it out, so he stopped asking him and drove towards the nearest river.

Sui Si lowered his head and flipped through the memos on his phone.

The studio's agent position was occupied by Nie Chi. Sui Si's team was small, and half of it was assigned to Ke Ming, who could hardly come back.Except for professional departments such as public relations and public relations, there are not many people who can do things and run errands.

Fortunately, Yu Tang is here. He was originally Sui Si's assistant, and he is very good at doing these things. When he gets really busy, one person can take care of four or five people.

These memos were all written by Yu Tang, mainly for the assistants in the studio, who arranged everything from life to work in an orderly manner for Sui Si.

But none of them mentioned where Yu Tang lived or where he wanted to go.

"He listens to you very much." Nie Chi noticed Sui Si's anxiety, turned on the car lights and slowed down the car along the river, "Doesn't he listen to everything you say?"

"Yes." Sui Si said, "There is only -"

Nie Chi asked: "Only what?"

Sui Si looked at the text messages on his phone.

Before hanging up the phone, Yu Tang sent a few more messages.

It's very long, and it was undoubtedly drafted in advance. It's all about future work arrangements and possible problems.

Sui Si didn't have the intention to look carefully at the moment. He swiped the screen, flipped forward, and read the one-sentence text message again.

Yu Tang sent him a text message and asked if he could not get divorced first.

Yu Tang always listened to his words, but the only thing he refused to do was this matter.

Sui Si's thoughts were almost a little slow. His thoughts were all on Ke Ming these days. In fact, he couldn't remember why Yu Tang refused to agree or what conditions he raised that were out of bounds.

Ke Ming had just left at that time, and the two met while recording a program, but they had to avoid suspicion, keep a safe distance, and act polite and unfamiliar, like two strangers passing by.

Ke Ming was good-looking. When he looked at him through the crowd, his eyes were unfamiliar, and the ends of his beautiful eyes were slightly red.

Sui Si looked at the text message and thought of Ke Ming's eyes, almost feeling that Yu Tang was selfish to the point of being cold-blooded.

His heart was completely cold, and the things he had been thinking about had come to a conclusion.That night, Sui Si notified the team to recruit new members, deleted Yu Tang's identity information backed up in the studio, and prepared the money in the contract.

That was a lot of money, enough to buy Yutang's attention to him over the years.Ordinary people like Yu Tang can take it, buy a house, and start over. As long as they don't squander it, they can live a peaceful and comfortable life.

Sui Si never felt that he owed Yutang anything.

…

"Yutang asked you, can you not get divorced first?" Nie Chi suddenly asked.

Sui Si nodded.

At that time, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind and could hardly remember the specific situation. After thinking about it, he continued: "He didn't go into details. He just asked me if I had time to talk. I asked him what his intentions were.What’s the purpose…”

Nie Chi said, "I asked him to ask you."

Sui Si's eyes widened suddenly.

It was as if a hand was thrust into his chest, and his lungs were all grasped, and he could hardly breathe: "...What?"

"Your grandfather is celebrating his birthday in three months, and everyone has to go back."

Nie Chi: "You were divorced at that time. It would be hard to explain when you go home, and you might make your grandfather angry."

Even though the car window was closed, Sui Si still seemed to be wrapped in cold, wet rain, and her body was getting colder.

Sui Si's voice became hoarse. He didn't know what to do. He could only vaguely hear his own voice: "Why don't you just tell me?"

Nie Chi was puzzled: "Don't I always handle your affairs with Yu Tang?"

Sui Si was speechless and sat blankly, his eyes falling on the call record.

"The Sui family's affairs are too involved to be made public. I asked him to send you a text message to mention it first, and then we can talk about it in detail on the phone when we find time."

Nie Chi said: "If conditions permit, it would actually be better to talk to you in person."

Sui Si said hoarsely: "He is..."

In the past two days, Yu Tang had indeed mentioned unusually several times that he wanted to come to the studio to see him.

But the program being recorded is a rare opportunity for him and Ke Ming to share the same stage.

Sui Si focused all his energy on the show and was in a bad mood, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree to Yu Tang's request that crossed the line.

…

These anomalies were regarded by him as Yu Tang's persistence and greed.

"Speaking of which, Yu Tang is seeing a psychiatrist recently. I originally thought he was contacting him on your behalf."

Nie Chi honked the horn twice, turned on his high beams, and walked around the embankment: "This is not included in your studio's expenses."

Sui Si asked: "Why should I see a psychiatrist?"

"I don't know." Nie Chi was just completing the Sui family's commission and had never cared about this. He just mentioned casually, "Do you still remember this place? When you were filming on this bridge, you scattered a large bouquet of flowers."

Sui Si was very upset and rubbed his temples vigorously.

If you really need to see a psychiatrist, then the professional manager sent by the Sui family who is worse than an artificial intelligence should go see a psychiatrist.

He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and glanced out the window, his heart suddenly jumped: "Stop the car!"

Nie Chi stopped the car in response and looked sideways at him.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the car almost with a crackling sound.Sui Si didn't have time to take an umbrella, so he opened the car door and rushed out in the rain.

He filmed on this bridge and threw a whole bouquet of flowers down.

It was a movie from the early years. At that time, Yu Tang was just his personal assistant. The relationship between the two had not become weird due to the fake marriage, and they could still chat together.

He was young at the time and actually had a good impression of this dull and well-behaved assistant.Yu Tang talked very little and would just be alone in a daze when he had nothing to do. On a whim, he took the handful of prop flowers to tease Yu Tang.

A group of people were fooling around, and no one could hold the bouquet of flowers firmly.Yu Tang reacted and stretched out his hand to catch it. Before he could touch it, the flowers were thrown away by someone and they all fell into the river.

Because of this, the production director gave each of them a scolding.

Yu Tang wanted to go down and fish them out, but the flowers had already been washed away by the river.

Not a single petal was left.

…

It was dark and steamy by the river, and even colder than on the shore.

Sui Si's hands were numb from the cold. He tried his best to turn on the flashlight on his phone and looked around carefully.

This river embankment is equipped with guardrails, and there is only a very inconspicuous clearing channel to get down.

It's very high, five or six meters higher than the river.

Sui Si clutched the guardrail and groped down step by step.

Yu Tang was afraid of heights. When he first showed off his affection to outsiders and stood with him on the stage for interviews, he didn't dare to look down at the audience.During one of the program requirements, Yu Tang hung up Wia. When he came down, his face was pale and he was so weak that he could not stand.

Yu Tang is seeing a psychiatrist. He seems to be normal and can laugh and talk. Why is he still seeing a psychiatrist?

What’s such a big deal that it’s worth seeing a psychiatrist?

Sui Si went down to the bottom of the passage and walked a few steps with the bitingly cold water flowing.

Nie Chi found a parking area, parked the car, and walked along the road holding an umbrella.

The flashlight on the mobile phone can emit very little light. It barely passes through a few layers of rain and fog, and is completely swallowed up by the dark night.

In the faint light, Sui Si was half-kneeling, picking the person up from the water.

Yu Tang slept on his chest, closing his eyes obediently, still looking calm and docile as usual, silently, his arms hanging down softly.
