He flipped through the newspaper on the breakfast table. This was too old-fashioned for Shen Huai,
But he had to pay attention to the foreign news. From time to time, he would take out his phone to check a few words,
The newspaper was still the most professional and convenient,
So there was the current scene. Shen Huai was wearing silk pajamas,
There was a cup of steaming coffee in his hand. He was holding the newspaper in one hand and reading it. He was so engrossed in reading that he did not care about eating. Ren Xuanyu noticed it and sat beside him from across the table. He also stopped eating,
He only fed Shen Huai.
Shen Huai's gaze stopped on a certain page for a long time. He read it back and forth twice before he put down the newspaper and smiled.
"What good news?"
"Take a look for yourself." Shen Huai pointed at a piece of news that was not a big page,
Ren Xuanyu glanced at it. It was talking about the country they had just returned from. The leader of the opposition was confirmed to be an important member of the government,
And it was revealed after the assassination.
"What happened to us..,
The culprit can be said to be this person,
When I went there to do business, his people beat me up,
In their political circles,
It's no secret that he's the leader of the opposition. It's just that for complicated reasons, to maintain balance and so on, we can't touch him. "
Ren Xuanyu retracted his gaze from the newspaper and turned to stare at Shen Huai. The meaning was self-evident.
"No, it's not me. I've just caught my breath. I won't touch any of the projects in Africa. Li Ming is avoiding me now. Even if I have money, I don't have the ability."
Ren Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief.
"But I think it's Lin Xiu."
Ren Xuanyu was a little surprised.
"After all, his brother died there." Shen Huai reached out and flipped the newspaper over. "After he came back, he gave away more than half of the stocks in his hands. Qin Shuo and I even helped him think that he was not interested in running the business. After all, his brother used to run the business. Then, he sold the house and the land. Some people even said that his brother was gone and Family Lin was going to be ruined by him. Now that I think about it, he should be raising money."
Ren Xuanyu didn't say anything. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a complicated mood.
"I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"Yes, it can be considered revenge."
Shen Huai stopped reading the newspaper and focused on eating breakfast. Ren Xuanyu sat beside him and helped him spread his toast.
Ren Xuanyu remembered that anxious and desperate corridor. When he asked Lin Xiu if he wanted to avenge Lin Yuan, the fire in Lin Xiu's eyes was instantly ignited. It was just to rescue Shen Huai and then pretend that everything was peaceful. How could this be considered revenge? Li Ming was not hiding from Shen Huai, but from Ren Xuanyu. Because after returning to China, Li Ming's unfinished leverage was used as a threat. Lin Xiu and himself took out money as a lure to build a relationship and facilitate the cooperation with a certain politician over there. In this world, money makes the world go round. A politician in a poor country also needed real money to promote his political career and then the career of the whole country. This kind of personal assistance could even be regarded as a performance that did not need to be recorded in the cooperation between the two countries.
In short, he would always do his best to protect Shen Huai.
After Shen Huai finished the last small sandwich, Ren Xuanyu used his finger to wipe the egg off the corner of his mouth.
***
They lived together again, in the same house. After returning to China, Ren Xuanyu originally wanted to move immediately, but Shen Huai delayed it for more than half a month. Every day, Ren Xuanyu was like a little girl who wanted to go to the amusement park, euphemistically, straightforwardly, and coquettishly, asking Shen Huai, "When can I move over?" Compared to the first time, it was more hurried.
Later, when they moved in, Ren Xuanyu found out that the room next door was also Shen Huai's room. After opening the door in the middle and expanding the space, a huge cloakroom was opened for Ren Xuanyu, and the decoration was unified. Everywhere was designed to be a space that two men could use comfortably: the sink, the sofa in the study, the rattan chair on the balcony, and so on. There were pairs of things everywhere. That night, Shen Huai loosely wrapped a bath towel around himself and lay on the bed. He told Ren Xuanyu that he had also changed to a sturdier double bed.
Ren Xuanyu personally tested it. He felt like he was f * cking Shen Huai on a soft and thick grassland. The noise reduction and comfort level were simply amazing.
"Now I really feel like I'm being kept." Afterward, Ren Xuanyu looked around the room with a high dome ceiling and the smell of money. He sighed. Although he had earned a lot in the past few years, when it came to enjoying life, Shen Huai's aesthetics, taste, and financial resources were really not comparable to anyone.
"What's wrong? Do you feel that you've suffered losses in the past?" Shen Huai got up and put on a bathrobe. He wanted to go to the balcony for a smoke. The electric curtains opened, revealing a very precious night sky in the downtown area. The air was good, and a few stars could be seen.
"Well, I've suffered losses. When you kicked me out, I didn't even ask you for a breakup fee."
"It doesn't matter. It counts now." Shen Huai puffed out a wisp of smoke, which drifted into the dark blue night sky. He turned back and smiled at Ren Xuanyu.
The word flirtatious flashed through Ren Xuanyu's mind.
So he got up, and the sheet slid down from his naked body. He walked behind Shen Huai and hugged Shen Huai.
"If we break up one day …" Ren Xuanyu paused. The mention of this word made him feel uncomfortable. "Can I only take you with me?"
Shen Huai frowned. It seemed to be a rustic love word, but the movie king was serious. He had to say, "You have a big appetite. Obviously, I'm the most expensive."
"I really don't want to break up with you anymore." Ren Xuanyu tightened his arms around Shen Huai's shoulders. "We won't break up again, right?"
Shen Huai felt that this scene was familiar. Making a promise after sex was much more old-fashioned than a rustic love word. No matter how impatient his former lovers were, they would not directly ask, "We won't break up, right?"
Shen Huai burst out laughing. Ren Xuanyu was a little confused.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I think you're quite naive. How many years has it been since I heard this? Even the girlfriends I had in junior high didn't talk like this. "
Ren Xuanyu looked at the side profile of Shen Huai's smiling face. This person really found it interesting. There was no ridicule in it. Ren Xuanyu's Adam's apple rolled twice and said,
"I've always been a very ordinary and boring person."
"Hmm?"
Shen Huai turned his head and looked at Ren Xuanyu with his eyes lowered, a little embarrassed.
"That's why I try my best to be interesting, cute, and attractive in front of you … If you knew me in college, you definitely wouldn't be interested in me."
Shen Huai stared at Ren Xuanyu for a while and then showed a very interested expression.
"Then can I see your college photos?"
Ren Xuanyu was confused again. He didn't understand how he got here.
But it was Shen Huai's request. Even if Ren Xuanyu was reluctant, he still searched through his old online photo album and found a few photos for Shen Huai.
"I didn't often take photos before, and I don't know why I did the work of facing the camera later."
The two of them lay on the bed and used the tablet together. Ren Xuanyu held his chin with one hand and pretended to be indifferent, but he covered his mouth and chin with his other hand to hide his emotions. He glanced back and forth between Shen Huai's face and the screen, afraid that Shen Huai would show a disappointed expression.
But Shen Huai was always in high spirits.
In the photos, Ren Xuanyu looked young and naive and didn't know how to face the camera at all. Therefore, although he had a handsome face, there was no spirit in the photos. In some photos, he even wore a pair of ugly glasses. If it weren't for Ren Xuanyu pointing it out to Shen Huai, Shen Huai might have really ignored it. It was clearly a photo from a few years ago, and it was not so long ago that the clarity of the photo was not a problem. But it did look like two people. In short, the Ren Xuanyu in the photo was the typical kind of person. He had a good figure, but he was dragged down by his temperament and became a passerby.
Moreover, Ren Xuanyu couldn't be described as stiff, timid, or gloomy. He was simple. There was no haze on his face, and there was no trace of cheerfulness. If one had to define him, it could only be said that he had no temperament. He didn't have that kind of thing that could be summarized and could be sensed even subtly.
Ren Xuanyu was right. If he had met such a boring boy in the past, Shen Huai wouldn't have missed him at all.
After flipping through the photos, Shen Huai turned his face and looked at Ren Xuanyu again. He felt that he was so cute now, and he even thought that if he really missed him, he would be a little sad.
"I said it was boring." Ren Xuanyu turned the tablet over, and his eyelashes flickered twice, which made Shen Huai feel comfortable.
"Tell me." Shen Huai supported his head with his hand and smiled. "What did you like to do before?"
"I don't have any hobbies." Ren Xuanyu recalled. "My parents divorced when I was young, and they didn't care much about me. I did whatever my peers around me did. I'm not stupid, and I can learn everything quickly. But maybe I didn't have any interest in them. Games, basketball, and so I'm not the kind of person who's popular among my friends."
"I can tell. You're the only one with a bored face in the photos. Haven't you ever thought of delving into something to become more powerful and popular?"
"I'm not interested in being popular."
"You're not interested now? You have so many fans who want to give birth to your children every day. They cry and scream when they see you. Won't your vanity be satisfied? "
"No, I can understand their excitement, but I don't feel it. My vanity comes from watching my own movies. I can become another person, and the camera zooms in so much that I become another person perfectly. I'm very excited."
"… In a sense, it's quite strange."
Ren Xuanyu pursed his lips and smiled. He was a little shy. "What about you? Are you born to be so popular? "
"You can say that. But I also like to be popular, so I'm good at it." He was quite proud of himself. "Hmm …" Shen Huai thought for a moment. "Then, since you're alive, do you have a person you want to become the most?"
Ren Xuanyu was stunned, and his eyelashes didn't move at all.
Shen Huai suddenly reacted. For a moment, he couldn't tell what he was feeling. But compared to caring about his own feelings, the first thing he did was to touch Ren Xuanyu's face and touch it intimately with his knuckles.
"I've already guessed your reaction."
Ren Xuanyu looked over timidly, and there was a trace of embarrassment. "I thought about it a long time ago. At that time, I felt that Yuan Han was very amazing. He could also become another person in front of the camera, but at the same time … he was very special."
"You admire him that much?" Shen Huai deliberately dragged the last word, pretending to be jealous.
Ren Xuanyu's fingers dug into the quilt.
"The first time I clearly felt the thought of 'if only I was Yuan Han' was after I knew that you two were together and I paid attention to you."
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows.
"After that, I would think about the way the two of you kissed during the few kissing scenes, and it was more … emotional. I rarely bring my own feelings when I'm filming. I don't have any material in my life that can help me. After that time, I always thought that Yuan Han is different from me. He is a person who has material in his life. The way he looks when he cries when he looks at you is very touching, so you … "
"So I might be a good material?"
"… I had this thought before."
"Hur." Shen Huai originally wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with Ren Xuanyu, but in the end, he got angry first.
When Ren Xuanyu saw Shen Huai's sneer, he did not dare to say anything. However, he did not immediately coax him like before. He felt a little uncomfortable. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Huai had always wanted to dissect him. However, the dissected Ren Xuanyu, Shen Huai should be well aware that he would not be liked.
Then why was he so persistent?
When Shen Huai saw that Ren Xuanyu did not say anything, he became even angrier. Just admit defeat and act cute. Why was he not happy?
"Go to sleep. I'll go take a look at the work that I have to deal with tomorrow." Shen Huai got up and did not hide his emotions. He left Ren Xuanyu alone on the bed and walked away like a heartless man.
As a result, both of them did not sleep all night. In the morning, they met in the bathroom, and they could not ignore the dark circles under each other's eyes.
"I …" Ren Xuanyu held the toothpaste, as if he had not woken up yet, and he was a little dazed.
"Forget it. It's my fault." Shen Huai stabbed the toothbrush into his mouth and said vaguely, "This is called looking for trouble. It's not like I don't know what kind of person you are. It's my fault."
Ren Xuanyu turned his head and looked at him without joy. "Will you still be angry because of this in the future?"
Shen Huai, with a mouth full of foam, stared at Ren Xuanyu. "If you let me do it once, I won't be angry anymore."
"… Now?"
"…"
The phone in the living room rang at the right time. Shen Huai quickly rinsed his mouth and went to answer it. It was Lin Xianyu on the other end of the phone. As soon as he spoke, Shen Huai frowned.
Ren Xuanyu followed him slowly and leaned against the door to look at Shen Huai.
After talking for more than ten minutes, Shen Huai hung up the phone with a bad look and looked at Ren Xuanyu.
