111 "Muddy Waters"

When Zheng Hengzhao walked into the gate of Shen's house, a woman in a floral dress was holding a long-handled pot to water the vegetable garden in the courtyard.

The autumn sun shone softly over her side face through her somewhat thin shoulders. When she saw him walk in, she turned her head sideways with a surprised smile on her face.

"Heng Zhao, are you back?" put down the kettle a few steps to meet him, stood in front of him and took a closer look, she bent her eyes, and smiled like Shen Jue.

"I was talking to your uncle yesterday, but you haven't been here for a while. Isn't the company busy today?

"Hmm...... There is still something to do in the company, and he can't leave. Smiling at the woman in front of him, Zheng Hengzhao looked away and looked at the entrance in the distance.

"Auntie, is my uncle at home? I have something to talk to him about. ”

"Oh, yes, he's back early today," took off his gloves and took Zheng Hengzhao's hand, Shen Yaqin's smile was dyed with a little helplessness, "He's not been in good health recently, and his heart is not happy." When you see him, be careful what you say...... If he loses his temper, don't take it to heart, child. ”

"Auntie, don't worry. patted Shen Yaqin's hand soothingly, and Zheng Hengzhao's eyebrows were clear. As if calmed by his look, Shen Yaqin smiled with relief and sighed inexplicably.

"Let's go, my aunt will take you there, he's feeding the fish by the pond in the backyard, and he's been sitting all day lately...... I don't know what's wrong, but I have a lot of thoughts every day......"

Following behind Shen Yaqin in silence, Zheng Hengzhao looked away and did not answer. After a few turns behind the woman, the familiar scenery in my memory kept passing by. For a moment, Zheng Hengzhao suspected that he was still wandering through his childhood. He is still the naughty boy who loves to get into trouble, and Shen Zun is still the child with different hearts. They laughed and ran past the red bricks around them, stepping on the cold bluestone slabs. In this house, the years of laughter and carefree continued indefinitely, and nothing changed.

But such an illusion is only a moment after all. When he saw the back of the man sitting by the pond, Zheng Hengzhao was stunned for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Time has changed everything. The man with a straight back and high spirits back then was finally bent by the rapid passage of time.

"Hengzhao, you go first, I'll bring you tea. Sighing silently, Shen Yaqin turned around and walked away along the road she had come. Zheng Hengzhao paused, walked over silently, and stood silently behind the man.

"Here you are, sit down. Sitting lazily by the pond, Shen Xiwen pointed to the position next to him, and stopped talking.

"No, I'll leave when I'm done. Standing in front of the man with his back straight, Zheng Hengzhao took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed them over naturally.

"Take it, this is SG's recent profit. With these, the funds should be able to turn around. ”

Looking at the contract in Zheng Hengzhao's hand with a hesitant expression, Shen Xiwen paused, and finally reached out to take it.

The paper exuded the familiar aroma of ink, and Shen Xiwen clenched the contract in his hand and pulled the corners of his mouth a little self-deprecatingly.

"It's the third time. ”

"Every time I reach out to you, I feel like a beggar. ”

Not wanting to see the once invincible Shen Xiwen show such a look, Zheng Hengzhao opened his eyes, but his tone did not show any pity.

"I took Shen Zun away, this is what I should pay you back. Although today's business world is not as good as it used to be, it is not difficult to make a comeback as long as you want to. ”

Seeing the man's pen slowly signing the document, calmly meeting the man's eyes, Zheng Hengzhao took out the ink in the bag and pressed his handprint on his name.

"Do you regret it? Pingbai waded into the troubled waters of the Shen family-" Throwing out the hesitation in his heart in a dumb voice, Shen Xiwen looked deeply at the young man in front of him, and the corners of his eyes floated with deep exhaustion.

Last week, Shen Zun confessed to the person he liked, and he started to fall in love. Answering the question, Zheng Hengzhao raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xiwen who was surprised with a calm expression.

"A few days ago, SG came forward to clarify the scandal between Luo Yi and a woman that had been rumored for many years, and Luo Yi came to me and said that he was very glad that he chose to leave the star. ”

"Yesterday, when I was eating, Shen Jue complained to me, saying that the company's newly invited chef is too good, and he has a good appetite recently, and he weighed two pounds. ”

Quietly looking at Shen Xiwen, who was speechless and deep in thought, Zheng Hengzhao raised the corners of his mouth, and a light soft color appeared under his eyes.

"You probably won't believe it. ”

"Those things that the Shen family can't give them, SG just can afford them. ”

"For that alone - this muddy water, I don't regret wading in the muddy water. ”

His gaze swept over the trembling paper in Shen Xiwen's hand, Zheng Hengzhao raised his eyes and smiled softly.

"The ones that need to be carried are what I am willing to carry. In exchange for what I want to see—"

"The money, I'm worth it. ”

"Yin Ze, have you seen where Shengge went?"

On the set of people coming and going, Tai Wei clutched the thick small square blanket in her hand and stared at Gu Shengge's empty seat in surprise.

It's just a matter of going to the car to get a blanket, and Gu Shengge, who was still sitting here talking to Yin Ze just now, disappeared inexplicably.

"Hmm, it seems like it's convenient to go, right?"

In view of the fact that it was filming in the field, in order to make it easier, the staff set up a simple toilet in a tent in the far corner for the actors to use.

Looking at the tent in the distance, Tai Wei decisively rejected Yin Ze's speculation, "Impossible, I just saw Qu Yanran's assistant guarding outside...... This is really weird, was it called away by the Feng Dao?"

Fetching two large bags of snacks from the car for Yin Ze, Shen Zun happened to hear the last sentence when he walked to Tai Wei's side. Raising his head and glancing at Tai Wei suspiciously, Shen Zun asked with some hesitation, "Didn't you ask Sheng Ge to explain Qi Junyan......?"

"What did you say?!" interrupting Shen Zun's words in amazement, Tai Wei almost couldn't help but scream, "Did he go to find Qi Junyan?"

Yaoyao pointed to the nanny car that was closely watched by the crowd, and Shen Zun nodded expressionlessly.

"That car, Sheng Ge just got up-"

"Sneeze ......"

Sitting in the strange nanny car, Gu Shengge, who had been locked by Qi Junyan's strange gaze from the opposite side since he got in the car, rubbed his itchy nose calmly, and couldn't help but put his hands together and sneezed.

The person on the other side handed over the tissue without saying a word, and Gu Shengge took it behind him, and did not forget to sniff and thank you.

"Well, thank you. Probably it was too warm in the car......"

Silently looking at Gu Shengge, who was wrapped in a coat and had a red nose in front of him, Qi Junyan suddenly felt a little inexplicable guilt. Pulling out a few more pieces of paper from the tissue box and stuffing them to the person opposite, Qi Junyan noticed for the first time that some words were so unspeakable.

“...... You're waiting cold, aren't you?...... No, it must be cold......"

Feeling like he was asking himself and answering himself, he only said some meaningless nonsense, and opened his eyes inexplicably, Qi Junyan's fist clenched and released. The word sorry lingered back and forth between his lips and teeth, but he couldn't say it anyway. An inexplicable embarrassment filled this enclosed space, almost taking him breathless. I had forgotten why I opened the door by ghost, so I let Gu Shengge board the car. Qi Junyan gritted his teeth, feeling like an idiot for the first time.

"Well, your car looks very comfortable," Gu Shengge had gradually adapted to the temperature in the car during his cranky thinking, and threw the used tissues into the trash can in the car, "That's right! I brought something for you." ”

A huge thermos cup was suddenly stuffed into his arms, obviously glowing with a cold metallic luster, but unexpectedly warm to the touch. Looking at Gu Shengge with some surprise, Qi Junyan held the cup in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The person on the other side was much more natural than him, seeing that he looked stunned, he shook his head with a smile, reached out to take back the thermos cup and unscrewed it, and poured a hot and fragrant milky white liquid into the lid.

"Oh, you try it, this is a soup made of stick bones and several ingredients," handing the hot soup in his hand, the young man bent the corners of his eyes, and his smile was warm and gentle, "I guess you must have never drunk such a delicious soup, this is the exclusive secret recipe of my company's medicinal dietitian, it is delicious and healthy, and it can prevent colds if you drink it." ”

Looking at the steaming thick soup in his hand with complicated eyes, Qi Junyan looked at Gu Shengge who was looking forward to it opposite, and inexplicably couldn't help but refuse. Although before entering the circle, Qi Heng repeatedly warned him not to casually import things handed over by others, even if it was a colleague in the crew. And over the years, in those socials that can't be pushed away, he has always followed the advice of his eldest brother, and has never shared any utensils with anyone, let alone a cup directly attached to his lips.

But at this moment, Gu Shengge, who was on the other side, looked at him with anticipation in his eyes, which made him lose the courage to refuse for the first time. Silently raising the cup to his lips, Qi Junyan closed his eyes, raised his head and took a big sip. The smooth soup slid down his throat, with a somewhat scalding heat, washing away his gloomy mood all the way. Involuntarily softened his gaze, Qi Junyan looked at his reflection on the wall of the cup, and the depression that had been blocked in his heart before slowly disappeared.

Surprised to see Qi Junyan suddenly raise his head and drink the hot soup, Gu Shengge was stunned, and smiled softly.

"Qi Junyan, do you know?"

"The cup in your hand is new. ”

Seeing Qi Junyan's eyes widen in surprise, Gu Shengge laughed, and an inexplicable relief appeared in his eyes.

"But I'm really glad you're willing to use it. 166 Reading Network
