Chapter 11
Peng Fang's winery has just opened, and friends are invited to experience it, hoping to take the opportunity to promote it.
After dinner, before leaving, he prepared gifts for them. He Gu looked at the red wine in the bag and planned to leave it at home. When Song Juhan came to him, he would occasionally drink a glass or two.
Walking side by side to the parking lot, Feng Zheng looked at his watch: "Would you like to go to the bar for a drink?"
He Gu smiled and said, "You can't drive anymore if you drink, let's do it another day."
"Alright." Feng Zheng patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, a relative of mine bought a manor in the suburbs, and it was built very beautifully. I remember you like fishing. When are you free to go together?"
He Gu often went fishing with his dad when he was a child. Since his dad passed away, fishing has become a way for him to remember, and it is also an activity that can make him meditate. Sometimes when he has nothing to do, he will find a place to fish, but He was too busy with work recently and didn't have time to spare. Feng Zheng said that he was a little moved. He nodded: "Okay, if you have time, you must go."
Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Be careful on the road."
"Okay, Feng Zheng, thank you today."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for introducing me to friends, and the seafood is delicious."
Feng Zheng laughed twice: "If you like it, I still have a lot of good things I want to show you to try."
He Gu was stunned and panicked in his heart: "Feng Zheng, you don't have to be so kind to me."
Feng Zheng looked at him intently: "You were also kind to me back then."
"That's all over, let's say we're friends..." During his internship, of course he was very kind to Feng Zheng. Feng Zheng was also a junior and colleague he liked, and the boss's son. He also gave him in the middle of the night. Feng Zheng has bought medicines, he has also tried his best to give birthday gifts, and he has worked overtime a few nights just to make up for the loopholes in Feng Zheng's work. There are not many people he is close to.
Feng Zheng shrugged: "That's it, we are friends, why can't I be nice to you."
He Gu thought to himself that he couldn't be too affectionate, so he smiled calmly: "Yes, we are friends. Then I will go back."
Feng Zheng waved his hand.
Song Juhan released the title song of the new album, which swept the major music charts for a while. During this time, he appeared in the public eye like a jumping high. He was everywhere on TV, on the Internet, and in print media. Every station can see his advertisement.
In order to warm up the new album, Song Juhan ran non-stop to promote it, and the two of them had no chance to meet in a short time, but He Ge occasionally sent Song Juhan a message, whether he replied or not, he didn't care.
On GuQingPei's last day in Nanchuang, he got together with a few well-connected people and had a meal in the company's canteen. He had already eaten countless meals and drank countless bottles of wine. This last meal was actually very simple. .
On the big-screen TV in the cafeteria, Song Juhan's new song just happened to be playing. It's a dark jazz song with some depressing lyrics. followed by humming.
GuQingPei turned his head and glanced at the TV, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and then he glanced at He Gu with a half-smiling smile. He Ge nodded awkwardly.
"Xiao Chen, do you like this singer?" GuQingPei asked the person who was humming.
"I like it." Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Song Juhan's songs are all very nice, and people are talented. Most of his songs are written by himself."
"Is he a mixed race?" GuQingPei's understanding of Song Juhan was limited to being able to match his name to his face.
"Yeah, a quarter of German blood, his mother is a Chinese-German supermodel, she is super beautiful." The female colleague next to her said as she took out her mobile phone and showed everyone her screensaver, which was a poster The photo shows a splendid hybrid goddess with a perfect figure like an engraved version. She is only covered in tulle, holding a little boy of three or four years old in one hand. The boy has slightly curly black hair and finely carved facial features. His eyes were so bright that he seemed to hide the entire starry sky: "This was taken when his mother took him on the cover of Vogue when he was four years old."
"Wow, what a beauty, this figure."
Why did he collect this series of photos, it was the first pair of Asian mother and son who appeared on the cover of the US version of vogue, and caused quite a stir in the fashion circle. Although it was not Song Juhan's first appearance in the media, but It was the first time that the world knew him. This is a real delight for the mother and son.
He Ge had met Song Juhan's mother several times, a Chinese-German half-blood born in the United States, warm and intelligent, with unparalleled beauty, but Song Juhan had little resemblance to her in personality except for her appearance.
"Her figure is still in good shape." The female colleague shook her head and sighed: "It doesn't look like a human being."
GuQingPei praised: "It's really beautiful."
"Song Juhan's father is also quite handsome, oh my, this family is really good." The female colleague talked about her idols, and she didn't care whether the colleagues next to her were interested or not, she desperately displayed the photos on her phone.
GuQingPei glanced at He Gu and deliberately teased him: "He Gu, do you like his songs?"
He Gu suddenly choked on the soup, lowered his head and coughed.
"President He is definitely not interested in these." Xiao Chen teased: "Maybe he doesn't even know who Song Juhan is."
GuQingPei chuckled, his eyes twinkling with a playful light.
He Gu cleared his throat and said casually, "Well, I really don't know what you young people like."
"Oh, Mr. He is only 28, and he is very young. Why do you talk and act like a middle-aged person all day long?"
"That's right, Mr. He's character is too old, and he is usually stern. When he is angry, it can be scary. Mr. Gu, talk about him."
He Gu smiled and said, "You little bastards, relying on the support of President Gu, you will harass me, right?"
GuQingPei patted He Gu on the shoulder and said seriously: "He Gong, smile more often, don't keep your face straight, you won't be able to get a wife in the future."
Laughing at the dinner table.
When he got off work, GuQingPei sent He Gu a text message: Come with me for a drink in the evening.
He Gu guessed that GuQingPei still wanted to dig him, so he replied: Good.
After a while, GuQingPei sent the time and an address. He had heard the name of the bar in Bar Street, but he couldn't remember it for a while and didn't care.
After work, He Gu came home, cooked himself a bowl of noodles, and ate it while watching TV. He didn’t watch TV much, but when he thought that the TV of more than 40,000 yuan was not enjoyed, it really hurts.
A familiar face suddenly appeared on the TV, not Song Juhan, but Zhuang Jieyu. This little fresh meat starred in a big-name director's movie, the second male. He looked like a bright and cheerful baby on TV. It was really difficult to connect with the people he met at Song Juhan's house that day. But thinking about the gap between Song Juhan's predecessors and his predecessors, there is nothing to make a fuss about.
When He Gu saw him, he couldn't eat anymore. Song Juhan is surrounded by a group of people who are so good-looking all the year round. It is really amazing that the two of them can go through six years.
He packed up the dishes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The warm water washed away the tiredness of the day, he closed his eyes, his mind gradually emptied, and Song Juhan's face appeared in his mind.
It will be his birthday in two days, and one third of this month has passed. wonder if Song Juhan still remembers the promise to accompany him on his birthday. Song Juhan won't feel guilty either, so he'll make a phone call to remind him at that time. Although Song Juhan had a bad memory, he never failed to honor what he said to him.
After taking a shower, He Gu changed into casual clothes. He looked in the mirror. The people in the mirror were tall and straight, gentle and upright. Compared with the youthful and thin students in his school days, he had achieved remarkable results in fitness all year round.
He dried his hair, put on his coat and went out.
When I got to the place, He Gu suddenly felt his scalp go numb. Looking at the people coming and going, this "" is clearly gay. It was only then that he remembered that he had seen people mention it on the Internet. It was a family clear, quite stylish. He was very famous in the gay circle in Beijing. He was nicknamed "Black Gate". Named, the boss is a star who is not out of the closet, but the whole world knows that he is gay. He also met the boss at Song Juhan's party.
He Gu looked at his watch, it was still early, he didn't like to be late, so he must leave enough time to go out, and now he has enough time to calm down.
How could GuQingPei ask him to be gay? ! Even if it's to dig him, he doesn't have to do it to such an extent, not to mention that he doesn't like this kind of gay dating place at all.
This is really embarrassing, it's like going out to eat, he's a vegetarian, and everyone at the table insists on eating with him, GuQingPei's behavior really confused him.
After thinking for a while, he decided to stop Gu Qing Pei at the door and change to a normal place, otherwise both of them would be uncomfortable.
He Gu parked the car and stood at the door of the bar waiting.
Just less than half a minute after standing, a little girl came to chat up, He Gu said politely, "I'm waiting for my friend."
"Is that your boyfriend?" Xiao Niangpao blinked.
"Uh, no."
"Then your friend is here, you can play with us too."
"Thank you, no need." He Gu has always been unsmiling, and after he refused with aggravated tone, the other party was a little frightened and turned away.
I didn't expect that just after this front foot, another one came, why was my heart funny, it seemed that I was quite popular?
After sending the second one away, He Gu also saw Gu Qing Pei walking towards him.
With a smile on his face, GuQingPei stood in front of him and looked him up and down.
He Gu frowned slightly: "President Gu? Why are you making an appointment in such a place?"
"Why, don't you like this kind of place?"
"I don't come here very often, and this is not the place to talk. Let's change it."
"It's okay, it's not noisy here."
"Really, uh..." He Gu widened his eyes, "Have you been here?"
GuQingPei smiled and said, "Yes, come here often."
Why did his eyes widen even more, could it be that GuQingPei also...
But, that's not right. He heard that Gu Qing Pei was divorced. His ex-wife was also an employee of Nan Chuang.
GuQingPei grabbed his arm while he was in a daze and dragged him in without any explanation.
The two found a seat and sat down, GuQingPei skillfully called the waiter: "Bring me the wine I kept here last time."
"OK."
Why did he believe that GuQingPei really came here often, he was full of doubts, GuQingPei was...
GuQingPei looked at He Gu's stunned look, and burst out laughing: "What kind of expression do you have, what the hell."
He Gu said embarrassedly: "President Gu, this..."
"It's rare to meet a similar person in a serious life circle, and I'm quite happy."
He Gu was surprised: "President Gu, you are really gay."
"What's the matter, doesn't it look like it?" GuQingPei spread his hands openly, with an expression of "appreciating you".
"Yes... not quite like it."
"Hahaha, you still think I don't look alike, so you don't look alike. I admit that I have some vision for knowing people. We have known each other for so many years, but I really didn't see it at all, and I didn't know it was you. Hidden too deep, or I am too clumsy."
He Gu smiled helplessly: "I don't know if I should be happy." In fact, GuQingPei doesn't look like it, and it's not like that. GuQingPei has the peculiar delicacy of being gay, but his speech and demeanor are not at all sullen, and he is very popular with women. The important thing is that he was divorced, so it is impossible for people to think in the wrong direction. On the contrary, he, even standing in a gay bar, looks like a stupid straight man.
When the wine came, the waiter poured wine for the two of them, GuQingPei raised his glass: "Seriously, if I hadn't quit my job, we would never be sitting here today, but since we're no longer colleagues, I want to give it to you. this friend."
"Mr. Gu is polite and flattered."
The two clink their glasses lightly and taste the wine.
Why is it not clear what GuQingPei wants to do, but GuQingPei has always been measured, so he shouldn't make a fuss about it.
GuQingPei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I know what you're thinking. I don't mean anything else, just, um, how can I say it, it's a little lonely. There are not many people around me who know my sexuality and can talk to each other. Friends who come here and have similar circumstances sometimes feel quite depressing, I believe you feel the same way, right?"
Why nodded. He has very few friends, only a few college classmates occasionally contact him, and he counts them carefully. Except for Feng Zheng, there is really no friend who knows his sexuality. Because he didn't have the pressure from his parents, he didn't feel any misery because of his sexuality, but he could also feel the sense of disapproval, which was given to this group by the whole society, and no one could be spared. GuQingPei's few words entered his heart.
"So, it's not a bad thing to have such a friend." GuQingPei winked at him and smiled.
He Gu smiled: "Mr. Gu, thank you." Until then, his dangling heart fell back to its original place, and the whole person relaxed. GuQingPei is right, it would be a lucky thing to have such a friend, not to mention that so many people want to make friends with GuQingPei, but he has the advantage because of the same sexuality, which is a good thing.
The two clink glasses again.
At this time, a person came over and called from a distance, "Qing Pei."
"Yo, why are you in the shop today." GuQingPei stood up.
He Gu turned his head and saw that the light in the bar was very dark, but he still recognized it at a glance, that was the boss of "" - Ou Taining. Ou Taining is an actor. To be precise, he is an out-of-date actor. When he was in his twenties, he also became popular because of a play. Later, he became a little quiet. But after being in the entertainment industry for many years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth and connections. , now gradually turning to the background. This was Song Juhan's party last time. Komatsu wentssips with him. Although he wasn't very interested in this person, he had a good memory.
Ou Taining is about the same age as Gu Qing Pei, and his temperament is quite unique. There is a sense of vicissitudes that has nothing to do with age hidden in those deep and melancholy eyes, which makes his already handsome appearance a little darker. Those who do not have sexual orientation were only known to the public after they made news two years ago because of emotional problems.
This is what Komatsu told him, Komatsu is a gossip kid.
The two exchanged a few words of courtesy before Ou Taining noticed the reason. He said, "Have we met? Last year at the Four Seasons Hotel..."
He Gu nodded: "I'm an alumnus of Song Juhan. I didn't expect Mr. Ou to recognize me." Song Juhan didn't like his contacts with people in the entertainment industry, so if Ou Taining didn't recognize him, he would definitely pretend that he never knew him. I've seen it, I didn't expect Ou Taining to have such a good memory. There were hundreds of people at the party, and the two of them didn't even say a word at that time.
Ou Taining looked at He Gu with a smile: "Why don't you recognize it? Song Juhan's assistant has been with you all the time. At that time, everyone was very curious why Song Juhan sent his assistant to take care of others."
He Gu smiled: "I'm not in the circle, maybe I'm afraid of being embarrassed." He guessed that Song Juhan was afraid that he would make a fool of himself or say something nonsense. Song Juhan really thought too much. Going to drop the gift and leave.
GuQingPei said unexpectedly: "So it's a coincidence that you have met before."
"Yeah, I also happened to be in the store today, and you haven't been here for a long time. It's not a coincidence that I met you as soon as you came."
"Come and sit down and talk?"
Ou Taining looked at his watch: "No, it's enough to say hello to you. I still have a booth at night, so I can't push it."
"So busy, big star." GuQingPei patted him on the shoulder, "Go, drink less."
Ou Taining asked the waiter to give a bottle of wine and left.
He Gu asked, "Mr. Gu, how did you meet?"
"I come here often, and I know him when I have a mutual friend. He is a good person, and he doesn't have the impetuousness of a star."
He Gu could hear what GuQingPei meant, but he could only pretend he didn't understand and pour GuQingPei some wine in disguise.
GuQingPei took a sip of wine and squinted at He Gu: "Since we are friends, how about you, can you let me gossip about you and Song Daxing?"
