Chapter 26 "I Know It All"
"Brother... I didn't find anyone... Did he go back?" Li Xuan came out and dialed Yang Xu's phone, and Yang Xu was out of breath looking for someone.
"Where have you been looking?" Li Xuan heard a faint echo from his end, "Where are you now?"
"Garage, if he wants to leave, can he go from the garage..."
"You have the car keys here. Why did he leave the garage? I asked you to find someone. Do you think someone is waiting for you in the car?!" Li Xuan had a headache when he heard it.
"Brother, I'm not an idiot." Yang Xu yelled, "I didn't even take the elevator when I got off the garage. I used the stairs and I found the stairwell."
"did you find it?"
"No……"
"Then what can you do?!"
I met two staff members head-on, saw Li Xuan, and walked up as if they wanted to take a photo.Li Xuan shook his head, indicating that he was talking, and walked over quickly.
"Then what should I do..." Yang Xu said, "Why did he leave... Did you guys have a fight today?"
From his tone, Li Xuan knew that the improper relationship between him and Sheng Min had already taken root in Yang Xu's mind: "Why am I arguing? Why don't you say that you got mad at him?"
"I don't have one!" Yang Xu said quickly.
"Cheng Chengcheng, I know, and I didn't scold you." Li Xuan pressed his eyebrows.
"Then shall I come to you now? Brother, are you still upstairs?"
"Don't come, you go and wait in the car." At the end of the corridor, there was a floor plan of the building, and Li Xuan looked at it, thinking about where Sheng Min might go.
"Oh." Yang Xu sounded a little aggrieved, "I don't need to look for it."
"You are in the car, in case he comes again later, there must be someone there." Li Xuan said perfunctorily.
"That's right." Yang Xu believed his excuse, and his voice immediately became cheerful again. Li Xuan answered a few words and hung up the phone.
He guessed that Sheng Min didn't go too far, he is not such an irresponsible person.So took a picture of the floor plan and searched for possible places.
This building doesn’t take up too much space, but it still takes a lot of effort to find it. When you meet the staff, you ask them. Either you don’t see it or you only have a vague impression, which is better than nothing.
Not finding anyone for a long time, Li Xuan couldn't help doubting his own certainty, and gradually felt uneasy.When I finally saw a familiar figure on the rooftop, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time nearly an hour had passed.Sheng Min stood with his back, unaware of his arrival.
Li Xuan should be angry, out of emotion and reason.In order to search for so long in vain, in order to find the anxiety and worry on the way, but at this moment when he saw Sheng Min, he really didn't have a trace of anger.
It was getting late, layers of clouds piled up, and the sky showed a magnificent dark blue.The shadow cast by the tall buildings behind him blocked most of the light from the rooftop.Absolutely not on the open and bright rooftop, Sheng Minyue's white shirt is the only bright color.
Li Xuan didn't make a sound to disturb him, and sent Yang Xu a message telling him that someone had been found, and after letting him go first, he just stood silently by the roof gate.He knew that he should be called Sheng Min at this time, but he didn't want to speak at all.
Sheng Min's shadow was drawn very long by the setting sun, almost falling to his feet.Li Xuan looked down at the figure on the ground, and then at Sheng Min's thin figure like a sculpture.
For a while he was also in a trance, not knowing where his gaze fell.However, this was probably just an illusion, when Sheng Min suddenly walked towards the rooftop, he rushed over swiftly and held his hand firmly.
"What are you doing?" After looking at each other for a few seconds, Li Xuan finally found his voice.
He appeared suddenly, Sheng Min was caught by the hand, forgot to speak for a while, just looked into his eyes, and tried to pull out his hand after a long time, but a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out.
"Don't move." Li Xuan didn't let go, but gripped even tighter, "What are you doing?"
"There are cats." Sheng Min recovered.
"What?" Li Xuan was taken aback, only to discover that a black cat had appeared outside the railing of the rooftop at some point, shrunk into a small ball at the edge, its tail trembling uneasily.
"It jumped from the building next to it." Sheng Min explained, "You release it first, and I'll go and hug it. It's too small, don't fall in a while."
Li Xuan knew that he had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain why, but he still didn't want Sheng Min to go to the rooftop.Never let go.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't want to go."
Sheng Min looked at him puzzled, Li Xuan could have just hugged him without explaining, Sheng Min would not get to the bottom of it.
But he would definitely think too much, Li Xuan was a little helpless, so he could only bite the bullet and make up an excuse: "I'm allergic to cat fur."
"ah?"
"Allergy." Li Xuan repeated, and then asked seriously, "Aren't you allergic?"
Sheng Min hesitated and shook his head.
"Okay, I'll go hug." He just let go of his hand.He walked quickly to the railing, bent down and stretched out his hand through the gap in the railing, grabbed the naughty black cat by the back of the neck, and caught it in.
The cat was terrified, and curled up in the stranger's arms, it turned out to be very docile, just meowing softly twice.
He walked back with the cat in his arms, and just wanted to let Sheng Min take a look at it to confirm his excuse that he was allergic to cat fur.But Sheng Min looked at the cat with bright eyes, like a child looking at Tang, Li Xuan couldn't help but asked again: "Do you want to hug?"
"You're not allergic to..."
"It's just a little bit. You can hug it if you want."
Sheng Min pursed his lips and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said, "You're not allergic, are you?" He sighed, glanced at the place where the cat was just now, and said softly, "The railing is so high, I can't jump out, and I don’t intend to jump.”
After all, he was still exposed, and he already thought about it if he didn't want him to think about it.
"I didn't think so, I just didn't react just now."
This is indeed a truth, Li Xuan believed that Sheng Min would live well if he promised him not to die.If at first he thought that Sheng Min was going to seek death again, how could he bother to find someone after dealing with the matter?It's just that the lie comes first, and the credibility of the truth will be greatly reduced in Sheng Min's ears.It was rare for Li Xuan to pretend to be smart and do something wrong. Under the embarrassment, his tone became a little harder, and he only asked: "...Do you want to hug or not?"
Sheng Min stretched out his hand, but hesitated for a moment: "Is it really not allergic?"
"Yes." Li Xuan was so embarrassed that he wanted to laugh, "Okay, hurry up and take it, I don't like small animals."
Sheng Min pursed his lips lightly.Finally hugged me.The cat wasn't afraid of strangers at all, and it didn't move when it was hugged. It just stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Sheng Min's hand.Sheng Min raised his hand and slowly stroked its smooth fur.
"Do you want to take it back to raise?" Li Xuan saw that he liked it very much.
Sheng Min raised his eyes, Li Xuan hurriedly said again: "I really don't like it, I didn't lie to you. But if you want to raise it, I have no objection at all."
"I don't keep animals." Sheng Min shook his head, "I haven't kept animals for a long time."
"Why?" Li Xuan asked subconsciously.
Sheng Min pursed her lips, not really wanting to answer.But Li Xuan kept watching him and waiting for the next sentence. Sheng Min was helpless and hesitated for a moment: "I used to have a dog..." He lowered his eyes embarrassedly, "It's not actually my dog, but it's just that it often lives downstairs in my house.That vegetable market. I met him every day after school. If I had money, I would buy a ham sausage and feed it... After two or three months of feeding, I wagged my tail when I saw me. Later, I went to filming and came back to it.It disappeared...it was a yellow dog with a tuft of white hair on its head, and it probably went somewhere else."
That being said, in fact, both of them understood that a stray dog that suddenly disappeared was the most likely end.
Li Xuan didn't respond, but Sheng Min smiled lightly, and the smile was fleeting: "Little animals are too delicate and precious, and I can't even raise myself so-so. I can't even afford them, soI won't raise them anymore."
As he said, he stroked the black cat's head with his palm, and was about to let it go.But he was afraid that it would go outside the roof again, so he hugged him all the way to the stairs, and then he squatted down and let go, letting the cat jump out of his arms.
The black cat meowed, and quickly ran down the stairs, never to be seen again.Sheng Min was still squatting in place.
It was getting late and there were no lights on the roof.The lights from the opposite building scattered over Li Xuan's shoulders, but no matter what, they couldn't reach the square inch of Sheng Min's place, as if people were about to melt into the night.
With this thought, Li Xuan immediately couldn't help but walked over, Sheng Min heard his footsteps, turned around and stood up.
Two steps away, Li Xuan stopped.It was very quiet on the rooftop, except for the occasional faint human voices from the building, and the sirens of cars passing downstairs, there was only each other's breathing.
Li Xuan felt that he wanted to say something. He didn't like to talk too much, but as long as he thought about it, it was a matter of turning his mouth into words. But at this time, he really forgot what to say.
So in the end it was Sheng Min who spoke first, but what came out was a solemn apology.
"Why are you telling me this?" Li Xuan frowned heavily.
"I should have said it." Sheng Min said seriously, "This afternoon...the recording room is too stuffy, and I really can't stay here. I just wanted to come out to catch my breath, and I lost my mind and forgot the time. Did you find it?It's been a long time...Did you call? I didn't hear..." He took out the phone again, only to find that it had been turned off due to lack of battery.
"I didn't look for it for a long time." Li Xuan still frowned, and said, "It's really boring."
Sheng Min paused lightly: "Also... I didn't expect..."
"It's okay." Li Xuan didn't allow him to continue, but Sheng Min still insisted on finishing the sentence: "I really didn't think about what happened today, and I shouldn't have left if you were to deal with it for me on stage, but at that time...He didn't finish speaking, and turned to say: "If something like this happens again next time, just don't record it, it's fine."
His tone was sincere, and the night of guilt on his face couldn't hide it.
"If you are here, don't you record?"
"It's different." Sheng Min looked into his eyes, "Even in our current situation, you don't have to suffer because of me, it's not fair to you."
Li Xuan wanted to ask if that was fair to you?But he didn't say anything, but frowned even tighter.
Sheng Min lowered his eyes and kicked away a stone under his feet, then raised his head again, his tone deliberately lighter: "So you see, I really should apologize... Well, don't keep frowning, I won't say anything if you don't like it."
"You're the one who's talking. Whether you like it or not, you've finished talking." Li Xuan shook his hand and wanted to leave, but Sheng Min quickly grabbed his arm.He didn't use much strength, Li Xuan could easily break free but couldn't break free at all, his tone was impatient: "What else?"
It was supposed to be gone.But seeing his unfriendly expression, Sheng Min hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand, and then said again: "It's not stomach cancer, it's a problem with the pancreas. I didn't start acting after I was diagnosed. Children always like to show off.In fact, filming is just a game, and I am very proud... In short, it is not all true..."
These words were not what he expected, and they were spoken lightly and quickly.After speaking, I also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, it's really nothing...so don't be angry, you must have been angry a lot today. I..."
"I know." Li Xuan said, his expression was still not good.
Sheng Min smiled lightly: "What do you know?"
"I know what you need me to know."
What he said couldn't be more certain, but it seemed to be just a casual sentence.Don't continue this topic after talking.Pushing Sheng Min's back: "You want to blow the air, but you have blown it for long enough, and your hands are cold. Don't stay here, go downstairs."
