Chapter 49

The first ray of warm sunshine in the morning shone on his eyelids, Jiang Liu squinted his eyes deeply, frowned, adjusting to the disturbing light, yawned loudly, still feeling very sleepy.

For some reason, he slept very unsteadily that night. He woke up from a dream several times, flustered for no reason, as if he had lost something important, and his heart was empty for a while, and he barely fell asleep until the middle of the night.

Just as he was about to fall asleep again, he suddenly heard a small movement outside the room, which seemed to be coming from the kitchen.

There was a jolt in his mind, and he woke up instantly.

It must be the child making him a loving breakfast, and yes, after all, today is their big day.

He immediately rolled over and got out of bed, washed quickly, made sure that his breath was fresh and his face was clean, then he touched the kitchen with bare feet and light hands, trying not to make a sound, and was about to rush in with a stride for a hug from behind—

"Crash", the kitchen door was pulled open from the inside. What came out was not the shy and cute little angel in his dream, but Xu Yang with a tired face and unshaved beard.

"Fuck! Scared me to death!" Xu Yang took a step back and almost knocked over the sandwich on the plate, "Why are you hiding here, my ancestors!"

Jiang Liushen didn't hold the person he wanted to hug, and he was furious: "I want to ask you, don't you have a spare key? How did you sneak in?"

"How can I slip, the one from your family let me in!"

Hearing the words "that one from your family", Jiang Liushen's anger subsided: "Where are the others?"

"When I came, he was about to go out and said he was going to the studio to practice songs."

"What time did you come?"

"About half past six."

"So early?" Jiang Liushen was slightly surprised. But thinking that Xia Xiai has always been diligent and motivated, it is normal to go to practice songs early in the morning.

"You call the vocal music teacher in our studio and ask him to accompany you to practice."

Xu Yang thought he had heard it wrong: "We have a vocal teacher in our studio?"

"Don't you want to invite me?" Jiang Liushen frowned and pointed to the clock on the wall, "Your big boss's little baby has been alone in the studio for an hour now, without eating, drinking, or drinking. You are alone and lonely, and you are still making breakfast here leisurely?"

"Didn't I make this for you, boss!" Xu Yang shouted.

"You can find out who is the master and who is the second." Jiang Liu had a look of disgust on his face, "You can't teach children", and poked his fingers on Xu Yang's body.

"Little baby, always, es, first!"

The studio is located on the bank of the river, with a three-story single-family building, surrounded by a number of high-rise office buildings, showing the owner's wealth and wealth.

Jiang Liushen is usually busy going out to film and participate in activities. He can't go to his studio several times throughout the year. Today, in order to deliver a loving breakfast, he appeared in front of the singing room before work time.

He put on a smile that he believed to be able to fascinate all beings, opened the door and walked in: "Ai Ai, it's really early to get up, don't tell me a word, here, I brought you breakfast."

Xia Xiai, who was sitting on the ground reading the score, seemed startled, and looked over with wide eyes, the circles around her eyes were red, like a panicked rabbit.

"Didn't you sleep last night?" Jiang Liushen walked up to him and squatted down. He touched his delicate eyebrows distressedly. He was about to tease him with a few words to make people happy, but the little boy turned his head and avoided him. hand.

Jiang Liushen's hand was frozen in mid-air for half a second, and then he pinched his cheek. There was not much flesh, but it felt quite soft.

"What are you hiding? Show me your face, why do you feel so miserable."

"I've had breakfast." Xia Xiai's voice was cool, "I want to concentrate on practicing songs, you can sit elsewhere."

Jiang Liushen was stunned for a moment, seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, so he had to temporarily put aside his unreasonable thoughts: "Okay, I'm going out, come to my office to find me after practice, let's go to lunch together, I booked a restaurant that tastes bad. Sweet restaurant, you should like-"

"I won't go out to eat, just order takeout." Xia Xiai interrupted him, "Go back first if you have nothing to do, don't accompany me, I won't come back until late after practicing."

Jiang Liushen had an intuition that something was not quite right.

The shy child who was willing to lean on his shoulders yesterday, why is he rejecting people thousands of miles away today like when he first met?

"I'll accompany you as late as you practice." He smiled and his face sank, "Don't eat messy takeout, I'll bring it in for you at noon."

Xia Xi'ai shrank, seemed to be frightened by his tough tone, and his stubborn expression was shaken, probably because he was afraid that he was really angry, he pursed his lips and said "um" softly, which was considered a compromise.

After all, Jiang Liushen couldn't bear to be too fierce, sighed, and rubbed his gloomy head: "Don't work too hard, your body is your capital. I know you want to be recognized by everyone, but this matter can't be rushed. This time has experienced So much, I'm worried that you are under too much pressure. Relax first, and give yourself some time to settle down and learn, so that you can be inspired to write good songs. I have asked Xu Yang to find the vocal music teacher, and I promise to give you the best resource support."

"...I'm in a hurry..." Xia Xiai's voice was barely audible.

Jiang Liushen didn't hear clearly, so he approached and asked, "What?"

Xia Xiai lowered her eyes: "It's nothing, thank you Brother Shen."

A plain and distant "Brother Shen", like a polite conversation between an ordinary junior and a senior. Jiang Liushen couldn't help but wonder, why did the relationship between the two of them seem to have regressed to before liberation overnight?

I thought that my children just woke up too early this day and were in a bad mood, but this happened for the next two or three days in a row.

"He went to the studio again?" Jiang Liushen asked Xu Yang as soon as he got in the car as soon as he came back from Director He An.

"Yeah." Xu Yang turned his head from the co-pilot and reported truthfully, "The vocal music teachers all sighed to me that I have never seen such a diligent artist. At seven in the morning and ten in the evening, except for eating and going to the toilet, he never left the studio. ."

Jiang Liushen frowned: "Don't you think he's not quite right recently? Is this too hard?"

Xu Yang pondered: "Does he want to hurry up and release a new album? The last single was six months ago, and I am worried that fans will forget him after too long?"

"How is it possible, although there is no new song, which star has more exposure than him in the past six months?" Jiang Liushen said, "And he is not a person who cares about exposure. I just don't understand why he is so anxious, even if he I want to win the Huaqu Award, but there is still one year left for the Huaqu Award, and there is time to polish a good song."

"Then I don't know. To be honest, I haven't been able to see through Brother Xia."

"You can't see through his simplicity? Can you see it to the end at a glance?"

"That's for you! Although he is polite to us, he has almost no expression, and the sense of distance is very obvious. Otherwise, how did you get his nickname of 'Salt Angel'?"

In normal times, Jiang Liushen must be happy to hear this. Xia Xiai treats him differently, which shows that he has a special place in the other party's heart. But recently, Xia Xiai seems to be no different from him and others, even more indifferent, that is to say, his status has been downgraded?

The thought of this possibility made him irritable to death.

It was late at night when I got home, the apartment was silent and silent, and the cold moonlight spread on the floor, showing a bit of loneliness. Jiang Liushen didn't go to his room, he stood in front of the guest room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a few seconds of quiet waiting, the door opened from the inside.

Xia Xiai only opened a crack, scratched the door frame, stuck out half of his head, and asked him what was going on with his eyes.

Jiang Liu smiled deeply, and lifted the bag in his hand: "I bought milk tea on the way back on the way back. Will the children open the door?"

"It's too late, you'll get fat if you drink it." Xia Xiai stared at the milk tea, but said, "No need, thank you."

"Be fatter, you're too thin." Jiang Liu looked at his face, which had lost a lot of weight, and felt that there was no more flesh, "Why do you make yourself so tired? With me here, You don't need to fight that hard."

Xia Xiai tightened her fingers on the door frame, her fingers turning white: "It's because of you that I have to fight..."

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Liushen didn't understand.

Xia Xiai raised her eyes and stared at him with burning eyes, but her voice was very soft, as if she had no confidence, but she still recklessly said: "I want to catch up with you as soon as possible, let you recognize me... let you—"

He suddenly pursed his lips and stopped.

Jiang Liu laughed deeply: "Why are you chasing me? We are not in the same trade. If you have this mind, you might as well study how to chase me."

He deliberately threw a bait, trying to induce Xia Xiai to follow his words and talk about the "business" that the two of them had delayed for many days, but Xia Xiai turned a blind eye: "I have my reasons, if it's okay, I will continue to write songs. ."

"Hey wait." Jiang Liushen held the door to keep him from closing, "Do you remember tomorrow's event?"

"Remember, I will be there on time for the live broadcast of your new film's main creator."

"Yeah." Jiang Liu thought about it for a while, but was still not reconciled, so he tentatively said, "You really have nothing to say to me?"

"……No."

"Then if I have something to tell you, would you like to hear it?"

Xia Xiai looked at him silently, her eyes gradually dimmed, not as black and transparent as before: "I think... But, let's talk about it later, go to sleep first."

The door closed in front of him.

Jiang Liushen held the cold milk tea and stood there.

Dare to love his own child like a mirror in his heart... Since you already know what he wants to say, why don't you want to listen now? Could it be that he is the only one who can't wait to pierce this layer of window paper?

According to his original temper, he can't wait to rush in and hold people down and ask bluntly: What do you think of me? The whole world thinks we are real, can we implement the rumors as soon as possible?

But when she thinks that Xia Xiai may be in the beginning of her love affair, her mood is sensitive and repeated, and if she is too impatient and impulsive, she may actually scare people away.

Hey, thought it would be smooth sailing, why is it so twists and turns? According to the current situation... let alone two lovers, it is possible to be affectionate.

Jiang Liushen gritted his teeth irritably, feeling that it would be of no use here to eat a closed door. He turned around and was about to go back to his room, when he glanced around, he suddenly saw a warm light from under the crack of the door. After a closer look, he was stunned.

A shadow was reflected in the middle of the light, and a certain silly child was quietly leaning against the door, motionless, and there was no sound in the room.

Jiang Liushen narrowed his eyes.

Tsk... how about playing hard-to-get?

The irritability in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Okay, let's endure this night again, tomorrow will give you one last chance to confess, if it's not good enough...you can only be hard.

If you don't give the child some color to see, really think how patient and gentle he is.
