Chapter 31 Determination
During the meal, Wei Bo noticed Xu Jiamu's abnormality and said, "Jiamu, what happened?"
"It's probably because the jet lag hasn't reversed. I should be fine after I get some sleep."
Wei Bo nodded, exchanged glances with Lu Dong, and stopped talking.
Xu Jiamu, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Thinking about the past, he suddenly felt that he might have shown the wrong feelings.
Maybe it's because Xu Tianyi treated him too well in this life, so he thought Xu Tianyi liked him.
And what happened that night, he was forced to have a relationship with him, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Jiamu irritatedly slammed the pillow in front of him against the opposite window.
In a daze, Xu Jiamu heard his cell phone ringing, and when he glanced at the night outside the window, he realized that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.
"Jiamu! You didn't even know to call me when you came back?"
Hearing Zhou Chuyao's slightly dissatisfied accusations on the phone, Xu Jiamu smiled and said, "Sorry."
"doing what?"
"Just fell asleep, but now I'm awake."
"Then come and drink with me?"
Thinking of the depression that came to his heart because of thinking of Xu Tianyi, Xu Jiamu nodded and said, "Okay."
The place where Zhou Chuyao drank was located in a very remote place. Although there were not many people, the decoration of the bar seemed to be very nice.
When Xu Jiamu entered, he immediately saw Zhou Chuyao who was drinking on the bar, wearing a dark shirt and a hat next to him, looking bored.
"What happened?"
"What can be the matter?" Seeing Xu Jiamu's wide innocent eyes looking at him under the light, Zhou Chuyao rubbed his hair in a good mood and said, "Come and sit down."
What Zhou Chuyao drank was pure whiskey with ice. Xu Jiamu thought of his low drinking capacity, so he asked the bartender to make several different cocktails for him.
"You get drunk more easily if you drink like this?"
Xu Jiamu drank up the cup of Long Island iced tea in front of him, took another cup of Caribbean Beach and put it in his hand. When Zhou Chuyao asked him, he shook his head and said expressionlessly, "Only once in a while."
"What? Are you also troubled?"
Thinking that he was filming "Jianghu" and that Yao Keyu and Chen Peiyi's acting skills were outstanding, Zhou Chuyao pushed him and said: "Acting skills need to be honed slowly, there is no rush."
"Ok, I know."
After saying this, neither of them spoke again.
Xu Jiamu remembered a sentence he had read in a book, proud people don't want to hide, and frustrated people can't hide. Although Zhou Chuyao has clearly noticed that Zhou Chuyao has something on his mind, he doesn't want to say anything now.
The low and melodious blues lingered in the bar. After a while, Zhou Chuyao whispered: "Jiamu, I want to quit the entertainment circle."
In his previous life, he left around this time. Xu Jiamu took another glass of Pink Girl and said in a calm tone, "Why?"
"tired."
Seeing Zhou Chuyao buried his face in his arms, Xu Jiamu laughed and said, "You are only a little over 30 years old now, you are in your prime, and you are popular, why can't you figure it out?"
"I'm not very interested in the entertainment industry."
"Then why have you stayed here for so long?" Thinking of the doubts in his heart and the things in his previous life, Xu Jiamu said, "Because of Lu Dong?"
Seeing that Zhou Chuyao didn't answer, he said again: "Do you like Lu Dong?"
Zhou Chuyao, who was lying on the bar, trembled visibly. Just when Xu Jiamu was sure of his thoughts and thought he would deny it, Zhou Chuyao raised his head at this moment and said, "Obviously?"
With his chin resting on his hand, there was a slight smile on his face, his eyes were in a trance caused by alcohol, making him look lazy and dazzling. Seeing him looking at him provocatively, Xu Jiamu smiled and said, "You are quite heavy-mouthed." of."
Remembering that the two of them seemed to have known each other a long time ago, Xu Jiamu drank the glass of wine in his hand and said, "Why?"
"what why?"
"Why do you like Lu Dong? Based on your conditions, if you hook your finger, there will probably be many people rushing towards you."
"I don't know." After finishing speaking, Zhou Chuyao lay on the bar counter in a daze, and said, "Lu Dong and I met in the orphanage. At that time, I was often bullied because of my short stature and my appearance. The first person to help me."
It turned out to be the same reason that he liked Xu Tianyi in his previous life. Xu Jiamu drank his fourth glass of wine and motioned him to continue.
Zhou Chuyao clenched his hands into fists and put them under his chin, and said: "Every time I meet, he is helping me. I am nine years old and 19 years old. Do you know that I almost died when I met him for the second time?" See Xu Jiamu raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise, and said, "Maybe it's because of low self-esteem? An orphan who doesn't even want his own parents, coupled with other people's contempt for his own poverty, at that time I felt that there was something hidden in my heart. A ball of anger, I can't wait to vent it, and even feel that I don't care if I die."
"How old were you then?"
"Nineteen, I haven't seen Lu Dong for two years since I came out of the orphanage, but the strange thing is that he recognized me at the first sight."
With a bright smile on Zhou Chuyao's face, Xu Jiamu also smiled with him, and said in a reassuring way: "You were probably in a rebellious period at that time, and this kind of thing will happen to many people."
"But I didn't understand at that time, and my situation is much more serious than others."
"How serious is it?"
"What about gangsters, do you think it's serious?"
Xu Jiamu nodded in surprise, and said, "I really didn't expect that."
"However, when I met Lu Dong, I was in the most embarrassing time. A sum of money was lost in the gang. I was framed, beaten and thrown into an alley with stinking garbage next to me. At that point I really thought I was going to die."
Xu Jiamu didn't expect him to go through so much. While feeling sorry for him, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Then he asked you to be a star?"
"Well, I begged my father to tell my grandma to let the gang members let me go, but how could it be so simple? At the beginning, he knelt down for me, but the gang leader refused to let me go. Later, Lu Dong became ruthless. , directly took a bottle and smashed it on his head, the blood flowed profusely, and the group of people kept retreating in fright. Just when everyone was stunned, he directly pulled me behind him, and said From now on, I will cover Zhou Chuyao! If you dare to make trouble for him, don’t blame me for fighting you all! Damn! I have never seen anyone so handsome as him.”
"Are you excited?"
Seeing the unnatural expression on Zhou Chuyao's face, Xu Jiamu shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "It was not easy for you at that time."
"Yeah, but at least I survived."
"Then why didn't you tell him?"
"Don't tell him what?"
"Tell him you like him."
Zhou Chuyao's eyes gradually dimmed, and after drinking the half glass of wine in front of him, he said, "I don't know, I probably like it too much."
Thinking of his previous experience, Xu Jiamu shook his head helplessly, and said, "You should tell him."
"What if he hates me?"
"At least you fought for it."
Zhou Chuyao lay on the bar without saying a word. After a while, Xu Jiamu said again, "Maybe you can think of another way."
"any solution?"
"Do something to show him your intentions, isn't Lu Dong very kind? You dare to move into his apartment, or simply get him drunk and have sex with him. He treats you so well, at most it will happen for a while If you confess to him at that time, if he will forgive you, you will stay under the street lamp and wait for him to catch a cold all night or in the rain, making your life worse than death. Wait until his heart softens, maybe you Then we can be together naturally.”
Zhou Chuyao stared blankly at Xu Jiamu, and said, "Are you telling the truth or not? Or do you think you're making a movie right now?"
Xu Jiamu drank another glass of wine with no expression on his face, and said, "Don't you like him? If you like him, you will definitely want to be with him, right? As long as you work a little harder, you don't think you can impress him?"
Xu Jiamu's expression seemed a little abnormal, Zhou Chuyao was about to ask him what happened, but Lu Dong's voice sounded at this moment, saying, "I knew you were here! Hey! Jiamu, are you here too? Aren't you still filming tomorrow? It's already so late, shall I take you back first?"
"Need not."
Xu Jiamu pushed his hand away, and said calmly: "Lu Dong, Zhou Chuyao has liked you for a long time, the kind is similar to a man's liking for a woman."
"what?"
Just when Zhou Chuyao was shocked and Lu Dong looked at him inexplicably, Xu Jiamu had already walked out of the bar.
"Jiamu, what happened to you?"
Seeing Zhou Chuyao catch up and grab his hand, Xu Jiamu has returned to normal, and said, "I'm fine, and you can treat Lu Dong step by step. Don't worry." Zhou Chuyao, said: "When you love someone so hard, he will feel your sincerity sooner or later."
He actually said these words to himself, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Jiamu shook his head and walked across the street.
"Hey……"
Hearing Zhou Chuyao calling him, Xu Jiamu turned around and said, "I'll go to the opposite side to buy anti-alcoholic medicine, and I have to film tomorrow."
"Chu Yao, what happened to Jiamu today?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him so abnormal before."
The two looked at Xu Jiamu's back thoughtfully, and were silent for a moment. Lu Dong looked at Zhou Chuyao belatedly, and said, "Chu Yao, what did Jiamu mean when he said you liked me? What did he mean? Really?"
There are a lot of gays in the entertainment industry, but Zhou Chuyao has kept himself clean all these years, and Lu Dong doesn't think he will fall in love with him.
Lu Dong looked at him blankly like an idiot, or a bear, but as soon as their eyes met, Zhou Chuyao felt the temperature on his face burn up quickly.
"Chu Yao, do you have a cold? Your face is so red?"
Zhou Chuyao backed away in embarrassment, but because he had drunk a lot of wine just now, his reaction was a little slow. When Lu Dong put his warm palm on his forehead, he froze in place at a loss.
"Chu Yao..."
Thinking of Zhou Chuyao's anomalies during this period, Lu Dong just wanted to speak, when Xu Jiamu came over there already drinking the anti-alcoholic medicine.
Under the light, he was wearing a white T-shirt and light blue ripped jeans. He looked like he was drunk just now, but at this moment he looked extremely sober.
His eyes were firm, even a little ruthless, with an expression of not giving up until he reached his goal.
With his outstanding appearance and his expression, Lu Dong and Zhou Chuyao found it difficult to take their eyes off him.
Such Xu Jiamu was not the Xu Jiamu they knew at all.
"Are you still leaving? Brother Chu Yao, you don't have a job tomorrow?"
"Huh? Oh! Let's go now."
After finishing speaking, he looked fiercely at Lu Dong who was still in a daze, and said, "Did you drive?"
"Open, open."
"Then why don't you leave?!"
Lu Dong nodded repeatedly, and opened his car door before the two of them. At the same time, he was full of doubts, thinking about these two people, why did they look so abnormal tonight?
When he got home, Xu Jiamu saw Xu Tianyi who was drinking water in the kitchen.
Seeing himself, he frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you just come back from abroad? Why don't you rest at home?"
"Brother, what about you? Where did you go?"
"Of course I work overtime in the company, otherwise where would I go?"
The corners of Xu Jiamu's mouth were raised slightly, with a somewhat innocent expression, he said, "Brother, let's just pretend that what happened that night never happened, okay?"
Xu Tianyi stopped drinking water and said, "What did you say?"
His expression looked very stern, even though Xu Jiamu felt nervous, he still maintained his superficial composure and said, "I said what happened that night, let's just pretend it never happened."
There was a moment of dead silence in the room, Xu Tianyi looked at him, finally put down the cup in his hand, and said coldly: "It's up to you."
