For the rest of the day, Xie Yao and Zhou Qiming maintained a tacit understanding and got along with each other in a non-salty way. It may not be very close, but they always maintain their appearance in front of people. At least it seems that they are friends.

The past few days have been quite leisurely. Xie Yao's favorite thing to do every day is to lie on a rocking chair under the shade of a tree and relax, experiencing the life of old people in advance.

Then in the evening, Zhou Qiming would prepare dinner and ask him to come out to eat. They had reached a consensus and the division of labor was clear. Zhou Qiming cooked and he washed the dishes.

Four days later, Xie Yao and Zhou Qiming formally bid farewell to the enthusiastic proprietress and prepared to return to Changyuan City.

The two were on the same flight, but the seats were not next to each other, and no one said that they would take the initiative to switch.

Those seemingly good memories came to an abrupt end, as if nothing could be taken away. When they returned to the original place, they were more like two familiar strangers.

When I arrived in Changyuan City, it was exactly ten o'clock in the evening.Hearing that he was coming back, Xu Xinghuai specially sent a message, saying that when he was free the next day, the two of them would have dinner together, and Xie Yao readily accepted.

Apart from a few old fans, Gao Yang was the one who came to pick Xie Yao up.Xie Yao separated from Zhou Qiming after Xiaohan finished picking up the luggage. After all, Zhou Qiming was famous there, and he had to go through the VIP channel to leave every time, otherwise it would be easy to get blocked.

After arriving at the parking lot, Xiaohan followed Chen Yi and Gao Yang took Xie Yao away, saying that he was going to send him home, but Chen Yi didn't stop him, but told Xie Yao to come to the company at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow and have work arrangements.

After sitting in the car, Xie Yao remembered that he hadn't contacted Gao Yang for a long time. The two of them didn't have much contact in daily life. There were a few occasions when Gao Yang would send messages, but they were all simple concerns., and on the last birthday, I sent myself a red envelope, but Xie Yao confiscated it.

Xie Yao admitted that when he was young, he really liked chasing after Gao Yang, because Gao Yang was a sensible and steady brother who would always take care of him, even though he was only a child at the time.

It was very silent in the car, Xie Yao was rarely sleepy, after all he was already rested on the plane, although sleeping on the plane was not so comfortable.

Probably Gao Yang also felt that it was too quiet, so he broke the silence first: "Want to listen to music?"

Xie Yao looked out the window, and it was fine to reply.

So Gao Yang randomly played a piece of pure music, the singing echoed in the car, it was very pleasant to hear, but Xie Yao felt that this piece of music was inexplicably sad.

Until the song gradually reached its climax, Xie Yao heard the person beside him speak again.

"Did the filming period go well?" Gao Yang asked, it was a common concern.

"The whole thing is going well." Xie Yao said, he suddenly realized that everyone seemed to like to ask himself such a question during this time.

"Did you have a good time in the crew during this time?"

"Well enough."

The two were chatting with each other, and Xie Yao realized that he didn't know what topic to bring up with Gao Yang, as if the other party didn't ask, and he didn't have a particularly strong desire to share.

After all, after meeting Zhou Qiming, he seemed to give Zhou Qiming all his desire to share, no matter whether the other party accepts it or not.

"Xiaoyao," Gao Yang said again, "Do you still remember that before you joined the group, I told you that I would tell you something when you came back?"

Xie Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then began to recall. He nodded and replied, "Well, I have an impression."

As soon as Xie Yao finished speaking, Gao Yang parked the car, then he turned his head to look at Xie Yao, and said word by word: "Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise, so I decided to confess to you."

For some reason, Xie Yao choked when he heard this, and always felt that the next sentence was very important, so important that he would change something, but Xie Yao couldn't tell what he felt.

"I like you." Gao Yang said, he was really frank, without any modifiers.The pure music was still playing at the side, but Xie Yao unexpectedly didn't know what to say.

Perhaps because he noticed his abruptness, Gao Yang wanted to add a few more words after saying this, but was interrupted by Xie Yao.

"Why?"

Gao Yang heard Xie Yao ask this.

Not to check the truth, nor to ask other relevant questions, but "why".

Why did you suddenly confess, why did you hide your heart for so long, and when did it start?

This was what Xie Yao was eager to know. He suddenly felt a little funny, but it wasn't Gao Yang who was laughing, but himself.

In his last life, he was close to death, no one told him love, no one, but why did more than one person express their love for him after his rebirth.

This is really weird, even Xie Yao finds it strange that his relationship with Gao Yang did not become stagnant in the last life, although the contact was not frequent, but he still maintained it, but he couldn't figure out why Gao Yang liked him.

"Why do you like you?" Gao Yang asked softly, "Xiaoyao, I had a crush on you a long time ago, probably in high school."

Xie Yao was taken aback again, he didn't expect it to be so early.

"But... I don't understand," Xie Yao thought for a while, and asked in the most appropriate way, "There is no sign of this, Gao Yang."

"I know you think it's sudden," Gao Yang pursed his lips, and finally decided to tell him what was on his mind, "Actually, when I realized what I wanted, I was already abroad, and that was when I met you in my senior year.That semester, but before that, I also thought that my feelings for you were just between friends."

Xie Yao looked at the man who was speaking slowly, fell silent, and listened quietly.

"Do you still remember that once I met a thief at home. I was actually very scared at that time. I saw that the gap in the door was not right, and I almost pushed the door open." Gao Yang recalled the past scene, "During that time, there were frequent thefts in our area, which made people panic, but when I was about to open the door and enter, I suddenly thought of you."

Speaking of this, Gao Yang seemed to find it a little funny: "Isn't it strange, but at that time, I suddenly thought of you, and I thought that if I pushed the door and walked in, there would really be a thief waiting for me with a knife inside.manage?"

Gao Yang looked at Xie Yao with firm eyes: "I was thinking what to do if something happened to me, because that night, I also promised to make a video call with you, if I broke the contract suddenly, I was afraid that you would be angry with me."

"Probably because I suddenly thought of you, so I chose to let the thieves do whatever they want, but on the other end I backed out, called the neighbors, and called the police." Gao Yang took a deep look at Xie Yao, "That's right.After that time, I suddenly realized how important you are to me, it sounds ridiculous, but it is true. "

After listening quietly, Xie Yao replied: "I remember, you told me about this matter that night. I was also very worried at the time, and specifically asked you to change to a better lock."

Gao Yang chuckled when he heard this: "Yes, so after that night, I also spent a lot of money to change a more secure lock."

"But I still don't understand," Xie Yao lowered his eyes, "Gao Yang, you have never mentioned it to me for so many years. According to your temperament, I feel that you should not decide to break this relationship so easily."

Gao Yang nodded and smiled wryly: "Xie Yao, in fact, I am a person who likes to remain the same, and I am not fully sure about our relationship."

Speaking of this, Gao Yang squeezed his hand, but then said firmly: "But when we were drinking last time, I noticed the man who came to pick you up."

Xie Yao was slightly surprised. The last time the three of them got together, except for Peng Fang, he and Gao Yang drank so much that they couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north, but how could Gao Yang have an impression of Zhou Qiming.

"But... I don't understand the relationship between the two?" Xie Yao asked.

"When I woke up the next day, Peng Fang and I went out to have lunch. At that time, Peng Fang told me that you were with that person because of me." Gao Yang said slowly.

Xie Yao felt a headache, even after hearing the explanation, he didn't connect the two.

"Although I don't know what gave Peng Fang such an illusion..." Xie Yao thought for a while, and was afraid of hurting the people around him, so his tone was much lighter, "But Gao Yang, I have never been with him....not because of you."

After he finished speaking, Gao Yang turned his head to look at him. For a moment, Xie Yao finally understood why Gao Yang and Peng Fang had such a misunderstanding.

Gao Yang's profile looks a lot like Zhou Qiming's. In addition, after Gao Yang went abroad after junior high school, he later met Zhou Qiming. At first, it was because Zhou Qiming took care of him.

And this way of getting along is very similar to the way he got along with Gao Yang at that time, no wonder it was misunderstood.

The atmosphere became quiet. Gao Yang watched him not speak for a long time. After some time, Gao Yang realized that it was his own wishful thinking.

"So I thought too much..." Gao Yang laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's right, with your personality, if you like it, you might have said it earlier, and you probably wouldn't do... such a thing."

Yes, Xie Yao has always been frank. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you really like it, why find someone to replace it.

"I'm sorry." Xie Yao felt a little guilty, but decided to explain the misunderstanding clearly, and the words he said were naturally cruel, "But Gao Yang, even without Zhou Qiming, my feelings for you will only be friends."

"It's okay, I understand." Gao Yang looked free and easy, but he didn't know if he was strong, "But it is also because of this misunderstanding that I have the opportunity to tell you my heart."

He smiled at Xie Yao, still with such a gentle smile: "It's late, Xiaoyao, and you've been on the go all day, go back and rest early...I won't see you off."
