After Sheng Min returned to N City, Li Xuan always felt that time passed faster. These days, which were like the golden autumn sun, passed by in the blink of an eye in a minute, a day, and a week.

Sheng Min got up early and sat on the bedside to change clothes. Li Xuan slept late yesterday, heard the movement, dimly, and subconsciously leaned over to put his arms around his waist: "Leave?"

"You sleep a little longer, chicken soup wontons are simmering in the casserole, remember to eat before going to the company when you wake up..." Sheng Min said softly, seeing that Li Xuan was silent, he bent down and kissed his cheek that was exposed outside the quilt,"Remember? I'm going to the recording studio first."

But Li Xuan didn't let go, with his eyes closed and the corners of his lips raised slightly, he rested his head on his leg, and rubbed against Sheng Min's waist.As the temperature dropped, Sheng Min changed into a sweater, which was soft and furry: "What time is the recording finished today, I'll pick you up."

"It should be seven o'clock...you will pick me up? Don't you work overtime today?"

Li Xuan shook his head, and said lazily: "Yesterday, there was a bug in the system, and it has been fixed... Whether to work overtime or not is not up to me. I will accompany you to the drama tonight? Didn't you watch today's show last night?"

"In order to be worthy of your ticket, I go to the theater three times a week, and it's not just last night... I'm so excited today? Is it a special day?" He looked at Li Xuan, ticked his fingers jokingly, and usedIn a childish tone, "We've known each other for a hundred days, after...a hundred days of dating?...It's not..."

"It can be seen that my boyfriend is really dereliction of duty. If he says he wants to accompany you, he has to be suspected of having ulterior motives." Li Xuan sighed pretendingly, and held his fingertips against his face.? How do you still count the days?"

"I have a good memory." Sheng Min whispered awkwardly, and Li Xuan brought his fingers to his lips and kissed again: "It's okay. I also remember... It's just that we remember differently? The date of falling in love and meeting each other are not the same.?"

"Is it the same?"

"Where is it not?" Li Xuan asked in disbelief, "I thought I fell in love when we met...Is it impossible for me to drown alone?"

He always took the opportunity to flirt, and Sheng Min answered him sternly: "I was afraid you would drown, so I quickly jumped down to save you."

"Then thank you, swimming is also learned for me." Li Xuan hugged him and smiled, Sheng Min also smiled, and said, "I don't watch drama today, the tour is on Friday, and there is Kunqu opera today, do you want to watch it?"

"It's the same." Li Xuan didn't care much, "I see you, today is the day I can see you for five more hours."

Sheng Min held his hand instead: "Actually, you don't need to accompany me... You are a competent boyfriend, and I will write you a guarantee letter for this. If you have work, go to work, and I don't think it is necessary to go by myselfWhat a gap."

"What kind of capitalist are you?" Li Xuan pretended to be serious, "Allow yourself to rest, and don't let me have a free day?"

"I mean, you have your own business, so you don't need to accompany me." Sheng Min knew that he did this on purpose, so he still explained very seriously.

"Then you stay with me." Li Xuan turned his face sideways, wanting to ask Sheng Min for a kiss, "You stay with me."

Sheng Min pretended not to understand, stretched out his hand to scratch his chin, and finally said: "Okay, I'll accompany you...I'll pick you up. It doesn't start until eight o'clock, and it's about the same time from the software park."

Li Xuan paused for a second, and then said in a relaxed tone: "I'll talk about it when the time comes. If I finish dealing with today's affairs, I'll come here earlier."

"It's fine, anyway, neither side is much closer." Sheng Min took the coat, and his mood was visibly better, "Then I'm leaving."

Li Xuan rested his hands on the edge of the bed, the light fell on his bare shoulders, and his shoulder blades were like undulating mountain peaks.Lazily said: "Let's go now?"

Sheng Min stopped, saw that he was still looking at him with a smile, quickly turned back and kissed him, then touched his ear: "See you tonight."

The dubbing went smoothly today, and it was only a quarter past six when we left the recording studio.

"I'll take you back later." Walking into the elevator, Sheng Min said to Yang Xu, "Actually, you don't have to follow the dubbing every day, and you don't have anything else to do. Just wait for me there, and I want you to stay with me at home."Auntie...Yang Xu?"

"Huh?" Yang Xu asked anxiously.

"What are you thinking?"

"Brother, I didn't hear what you just said."

"I said send you off."

"Don't send me, I'll take a taxi back...I'm your assistant, of course you have to work with you. I stay at home with my mother every day because I don't like my eyes."

Yang Xu answered absent-mindedly, and then pressed the first floor again, twirling his fingers, looking at the numbers that kept jumping on the screen, and then at Sheng Min, as if he had made up his mind, and called him: "Brother."

"Um?"

"I've been following you for the past few years, and I've saved a lot of money." He compared a number with his fingers, "That's a lot."

"Oh." Sheng Min was taken aback, then smiled, "What's the matter? Show off?"

"What am I showing off to you?" Yang Xu withdrew his hand a little embarrassedly, as if he had made up his mind, "I just want to say, even if I don't work as your assistant in the future, I can still live. I can go openIt’s a bookstore or something, don’t think I don’t read, I like reading comics, it can be opened next to the school, and the children’s money is best earned. The owner of the bookstore at the door earned a lot of my pocket expenses when I was studying.”

Sheng Min paused, looked at him and asked softly, "Why did you say that suddenly? Who told you what?"

Yang Xu lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes: "Brother Zhang came to ask me again yesterday, how do you read the script, and when will you take on a new job...he kept asking me recently, thinking I couldn't hear it,I just want to ask if you plan to renew the contract... I really think I'm a fool."

"You are not stupid, you are the smartest."

"elder brother!"

Sheng Min still had a very gentle tone: "How did you tell him?"

"I said you were looking at it, but you didn't pick the right one. It's not because his eyesight is too bad. You don't like the notebooks you sent over. He stares at you every day, so you might as well do your job properly." Yang Xu saidFilled with righteous indignation, Sheng Min never expressed his opinion, and his momentum was a little weaker, "...When I told him, of course, I was tactful, but the meaning is really what it means."

He looked begging for praise, and the elevator door opened to the lobby on the first floor. No one came in, so Sheng Min pressed the door close button again.

"Don't go out, I told you I'll see you off." As the elevator continued to go down, he smiled lightly, "It's okay, next time he asks you, you let him ask me... But, IIndeed, I should ask you, what do you think?"

"I want you to be happy." Yang Xu hardly thought about it, and blurted out, "It's just as long as you are happy. Just like I don't like Li Xuan very much, if you are happy with him, I will support you..." He was a little embarrassedHe scratched his hair, "It doesn't really matter whether I support or not."

"Very important." Sheng Min smiled, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me." Yang Xu blushed, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to say, brother, just do what you want. Don't worry about me, I'm very good, don't worry about the company, youDon't owe them anything."

"No one owes nothing, and no one owes me."

"Obviously you don't care about it." Yang Xu sniffled, "I'll listen to you anyway, even if I'm not your assistant, you're still my brother."

The elevator stopped at the garage on the first floor, Sheng Min smiled: "Well, of course."

Yang Xu's remarks probably took several days to type out, and she was a little excited after she finished speaking. She didn't have time to observe Sheng Min's reaction, but she was moved first.Blinking desperately and gasping softly.

This recording studio is located near the outskirts of the city, and there are only a dozen or so cars in the parking lot.Sheng Min didn't want to expose Yang Xu, so he pretended not to notice.Deliberately moved his gaze to the side, was taken aback for a moment, and smiled again.

"Brother?" Seeing that he didn't leave suddenly, Yang Xu looked along in bewilderment, and then said a little disgustedly, "I'd better go back by myself, don't send me off."

"Drive me back." Sheng Min handed him the key, "Be careful on the road."

"You're the one who pays attention to safety..." Yang Xu's sadness was gone, she pursed her mouth, looked at Li Xuan's car, and walked away like a worried old father.

"Yang Xu's eyes look like I'm a flower lover." Li Xuan said as soon as Sheng Min got into the car.

"Yes, you lied to me with candy."

"Really?" Li Xuan took the candy box that Sheng Min prepared for him in the armrest box, "Mints?"

Sheng Min pursed his lips to take it, but Li Xuan withdrew his hand briskly, and spread out the palm of the other hand like a magic trick. Inside the glass candy wrapper was the kind of rose jelly that Sheng Min often ate.

The candy was shared by them, and with a kiss, the rich fragrance of roses spread all the way between their lips and teeth, until it was replaced by the beautiful fragrance of hosta flowers at the tip of their noses.

Today's performance of Kunqu Opera "Jade Hairpin" is very small, and the staff thoughtfully prepared fresh hosta flowers as souvenirs, and distributed them to the audience who came to watch the movie at the door.

The bouquet was delivered from nowhere, and the white stamens were still covered with dew. Until "Autumn River" was sung, the lovers finally got married, and the dew was still crystal clear.

"Do you want to take it back?" Li Xuan also handed the flowers in his hand to Sheng Min, who sniffed lightly, and Li Xuan asked.

"Yeah." Sheng Min nodded, "Take it back and put it in a bottle. If you take care of it well, you can live for a long time."

"Like it? Then when you buy flowers next time, add the hosta." Li Xuan said.

Ever since Sheng Min came back, Li Xuan bought flowers for the family every day, and a joke on the phone, he practiced it as if it was some kind of golden rule.Sometimes people didn't go home, but the flowers arrived first. Sheng Min told me twice, so changed it to bring one home after get off work. Sunflowers and gerberas are always in warm and bright colors.Each one was carefully raised by Sheng Min. The ones from a week ago and today are all in full bloom in the ceramic vase on the dining table.

"The flower shop will remember you." Sheng Min laughed at him.

"I'm a big customer. If I don't buy one day, I will be called."

After chatting and laughing, we walked to the theater lobby again, and the people in the queue waited to enter the theater in an orderly manner as always under the instructions of the staff.

The promotional wall next to the ticket window is still full of various promotional pictures.Due to the recent drama tour, it is natural that Yin Qianpin's dramas over the years have occupied the most conspicuous promotional booth. There is "When the Moon Sets" that watched on birthday, and there is also "The Mountain".

This scene is so familiar, it seems like it happened again yesterday.The difference is that the text of actor recruitment has been changed to selection in progress, and the deadline for registration has long since ended.

Sheng Min has often come to the theater these days, so he has seen it for a long time.Still unconsciously stopped, took another look, sighed lightly, there was almost no sound, only the dew on the petals trembled slightly.

Li Xuan gently squeezed his wrist bone under the cover of his body: "What are you looking at?"

"We watched the drama last time." Sheng Min smiled concealedly, and pointed at the promotional picture, "There are also shows in this tour, it seems to be next week, I remember, it is included in the tickets you bought, wait for that dayIf you have time, watch it with me, okay? The actors are also the two from last time."

When he was nervous, he would talk too much, Li Xuan only replied softly: "Okay, I have time."

"Yeah." Sheng Min nodded indiscriminately, turning his eyes away from the wall, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant first, the reservation time is over."

Dinner is a Cantonese restaurant, and neither of them is actually too picky about food, but their preferences are obvious.This shop found by accident, all kinds of porridge are good, and the sweetness of the desserts is just what Sheng Min likes.It's a good way to go from the theater.

According to the usual practice, ordered a cup of lily porridge and a cup of raw fish. was afraid of overeating at night, so only ordered red rice sausage and powdered fruit for dim sum. Looking at the menu, there was also water chestnut cake that came out of the sweet-scented osmanthus mouth. added another portion and placed it on both sides.It is sweet and salty.

Sheng Min always ate less for dinner, mainly to accompany him, but now he lacked interest, he didn't make much porridge, but he ate two extra pieces of horseshoe cake.

"Can I order another one for you?" Li Xuan asked.

"I can't eat any more." Sheng Min shook his head, this place is by the window, his hair was a little disheveled by the night wind, and his expression looked a little lonely. Seeing Li Xuan looking at him, he smiled, "Why are you staring at me?", Is there something on my face?"

"I don't have it on your face, I'm afraid you have it in your heart." Li Xuan looked at him with a smile, and said easily, put down his chopsticks, poured a cup of Pu'er Xiaoshi, and when Sheng Min finished drinking, he didn't talk anymore and brought back the topic just now, "I'llGo and order a horseshoe cake to take home, okay?"

Standing up while talking, seeing Sheng Min still sitting, he also sat down with a smile: "Two copies?"

Sheng Min didn't answer, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "You did it on purpose."

"Deliberately trying to feed you some meat?"

"You definitely did it on purpose." Sheng Min kicked his calf lightly, and Li Xuan walked around the table and sat next to him, "It makes no sense, didn't you play dumb with me first?"

Sheng Min was silent for a moment, but what he said was: "Didn't you ask me today, what did Yang Xu talk to me when I left?"

"What are you talking about?"

"About whether I want to renew the contract." Sheng Min briefly told him, then lowered his eyes, "Yang Xu has been with me for many years, and I have always known that he probably thinks that I am doing well in the company.Unsatisfactory, but also sincerely for my own good, you can see that I may also be like this..."

"I don't think so." Li Xuan denied, "But I hope you do what you like more and don't let anyone influence you."

Sheng Min's tone was a bit sad, and he put his hand on the window sill: "I've been thinking about it for a while, and I still haven't come to a conclusion. Sometimes I want to try it, but... I'm notEvery time I see those promotional pictures, I feel lost or something, but as long as you're here, I'm... actually fine."

"I know." Li Xuan nodded, "But you tell me first, but what."

"But there are a lot." Sheng Min deliberately kept his tone relaxed, "For example, Mr. Yin's plays don't require experienced artists, and my contract still has two months..."

"You just need to tell me whether you want to go to the end or not." The eyes looking at him were always gentle and firm.

"...I don't want to." Sheng Min exhaled, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp, "Next time."

"Why wait for the next time?" Li Xuan said.

Sheng Min really laughed now: "It's too late. You came out so late at night, and you didn't even notice that the registration deadline has passed..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Xuan took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen and handed it to him, Sheng Min stopped talking.

It was an email with a very simple content, inviting Sheng Min to go to Room 1006 on the 10th floor of the theater office area next Friday to participate in the selection of the leading role of "The Mountain".

"It's never too late." Li Xuan smiled lightly and rubbed his face, "I've signed up for you a long time ago."
