When I returned to the villa at night, it was almost 11 o'clock, and the lights were on at home, so Le Mingxiao guessed that Yan Duo was also there. When passing by the living room, I saw a beautifully packaged chocolate on the coffee table, with a card attached, Le Mingxiao picked up the chocolate, the card was put aside, and I didn't look at what was written inside. He opened the box on the outside of the chocolate, uncovered the wrapper inside, and then sat on the couch and "clicked" the chocolate.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen suddenly arranged a temporary notice for him, and when he arrived at the scene, Le Mingxiao knew that it was a Valentine's Day theme activity planned by a cosmetics brand, and the original guest invited for this event was his senior brother Xie Tianlin in the same group, but Senior Brother Xie couldn't rush to the scene because of an emergency, so Lin Chen pulled him to come to the rescue temporarily.

After figuring out the situation, although Le Mingxiao still muttered a little in his heart, as an artist, dedication is the minimum professional ethics, and when the event officially began, he still played a twelve-point spirit, interacted with the crowd at the scene, played games together, and cooperated with the host to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, in short, the whole event went very smoothly.

After the event, the representative of the organizer specially shook Le Mingxiao's hand to express his gratitude, saying that this cooperation was very pleasant, and he hoped to continue to cooperate next time, and gave him a gift bag as a souvenir. And judging from the smile on Lin Chen's face, Le Mingxiao felt that his appearance tonight was still very good, although because he couldn't go to the scene to the east, the little resentment in his heart still couldn't dissipate.

When Yan Duo went downstairs, he saw Le Mingxiao nestled in the sofa with a loveless face, less than half of the chocolate in his hand was left, and he was still nibbling on it one bite at a time, as if he was gnawing on a flatbread. Yan Duo felt that his face was a little dark, he walked over and asked, "Is the flatbread delicious?"

"Flatbread ......" Le Mingxiao subconsciously said, and only reacted halfway through his words, he smacked his lips and said, "It's not bad, the chocolate taste is quite strong, but it's a little bitter, I prefer the milk flavor." ”

Yan Duo's face darkened, and he directly knocked on Le Mingxiao's forehead with his fingers, and said, "No matter how good the chocolate is in your mouth, it is like a cow chewing a peony." ”

"Do you want to be so venomous?" Le Mingxiao rubbed his aching forehead and complained in his mouth, "Anyway, it's already given to me, why can't I eat it, I have to eat it in my stomach anyway." ”

"Who said it had to be given to you?"

"Who else can I give it if I don't send it......" Le Mingxiao muttered, reached over the card he put aside, opened it, and then saw that in addition to the sentence "Happy Valentine's Day" and Yan Duo's iconic sign, it really didn't make it clear who it was for. He looked up at Yan Duo, threw the remaining half of the chocolate back on the table, and continued to mutter, "It's like someone is rare." ”

Yan Duo smiled, he also sat on the sofa, picked up the half of the chocolate, and peeled off the wrapping paper outside, not disliking whether it was stained with Le Mingxiao's saliva, and took a bite of the place where Le Mingxiao had gnawed. Compared with Le Mingxiao, his movements can be described as elegant, watching him eat is like watching a commercial.

Le Mingxiao's gaze stayed on his lips for a few seconds with Yan Duo's chewing movements, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that his face was hot. He looked around at a loss, and was about to get up and go upstairs, when his cell phone suddenly rang. Le Mingxiao looked at the caller ID on his mobile phone and snuggled into the sofa again.

The moment the "Hey ......" phone call was connected, Yan Duo saw that the corners of Le Mingxiao's lips curled, and the whole person changed into a very relaxed state.

"You're done, how was it going, aren't you cool?"

"Oh, I don't have no choice, suddenly I have a temporary job, you still have a second game, no, even if there is a knife in the sky, I will definitely go to ......"

"Well, okay then...... I'll invite you and Ah Yue to dinner another day, you can choose the vegetarian food in the entire capital, even if it's a palace meal......"

Le Mingxiao chatted with the other side about some things and didn't know what to say during the period, he laughed out loud from time to time, and he still laughed from ear to ear until the end of the call.

Before he hung up the phone, he turned his head and saw that Yan Duo was staring at himself intently, and he didn't know how long he had been staring at himself like this, and the piece of chocolate in his hand seemed to have not moved since he took a bite. Le Mingxiao was stared at by him a little inexplicably, muttered a few sentences in his mouth, and was about to raise his legs and leave, Yan Duo suddenly spoke: "You guys...... You've known each other for a long time?"

Le Mingxiao was stunned, and then understood that you were referring to him and Bian Xiangdong in Yan Duo's mouth, so he nodded and said, "It's been a long time." ”

"How long?"

"Well, I think about it, it's been more than ten years. Le Mingxiao counted with his fingers for a long time, and said, "When I was a child, my father served in the army, so I lived with my mother at my grandfather's house, and Dongzi lived with his grandmother. Our two families are neighbors, and I heard my mom say that we were already playing together when we couldn't run, and then I was older and wanted to learn the piano, and he was always with me when I couldn't go out to play, but when I started elementary school, my dad also changed jobs, and our family moved away. Speaking of this, he paused and added, "Later, I met again after I went to junior high school, at that time I had a conflict with my family, I skipped school for the first time in my life, and then I met Dongzi on the street playing the guitar and singing on the side of the road, and then it has been until now." ”

After hearing Le Mingxiao say this, Yan Duo's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips, "The legendary bamboo horse and bamboo horse?"

"You can say the same thing...... bar. I always felt that Yan Duo looked at him strangely, but it was rare for him to take the initiative to mention it, and it was just right to solve the doubts in his heart, "In short, Dongzi and I are lifelong friends, we grew up together, played music together, came to participate in competitions together, and said that we wanted to make a name for ourselves in this circle together, but ......" Speaking of this, he stopped and looked at Yan Duo, and saw that the other party's expression was not unusual, so he continued, " I really don't understand why you and Brother Yuan are blocking the two of us from going back and forth, even Sister Lin. ”

That's to the point. Yan Duo smiled, but did not directly answer Le Mingxiao's question, but gave him a mention: "If you want to know the reason, why don't you ask your distant brother directly, isn't he the mentor of your two good brothers, there must be no one who knows better than him." ”

"If asked, he wouldn't say. Besides, he didn't dare to ask.

"So you're sure I'm going to say it?"

Yan Duo looked at Le Mingxiao, and the latter nodded without hesitation, completely forgetting how Yan Duo fooled him at the dinner table that time. And Le Mingxiao's almost knee-jerk reaction obviously made Yan Duo very useful, he adjusted his posture, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and spoke again after a while: "How well do you know your brother?"

"Of course I know him very well!" Le Mingxiao almost patted his chest and said, "Except for Dongzi's parents, there is definitely no one who knows him better than me." ”

"Oh? ”

"Dongzi has a very good personality, and he is also very careful, that is, he is not very courageous, he thinks too much about things, but it's nothing," Le Mingxiao smiled, "He's still young, he's a few months younger than me." ”

"Then what do you think he will do in this circle?" Yan Duo asked again.

This question made Le Mingxiao hesitate for a moment, he thought about it for a while, and then he spoke again, his expression became a little strict: "Dongzi's foundation is a little worse, but he has his strengths, and he works hard enough, he will not be bad in the future......" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Yan Duo, "Why do you want to ask such a question, is it ...... Do you think there will be competition between us?" Seeing that Yan Duo didn't speak, Le Mingxiao understood that his guess was correct, "Even if that's the case, so what? No one will inevitably have a time when peers compete, but I don't think this will have any impact on the relationship between our good brothers, even if the development of the two of us is unbalanced in the future, but the relationship of more than ten years will be dissolved?"

"You think this way, but others don't think so. Yan Duo smiled again, as if he was laughing at the simplicity of Le Mingxiao, "There is a kind of person who can share difficulties with you, but he can't share blessings with you." This circle is not without people like you, when they know each other, they support each other all the way, but with more and more conflicts of interest, it is already good to be able to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and the stricter ones even turn against each other, which is like fire and water. ”

In the end, the smile on his face disappeared, as if he had felt something, and Le Mingxiao's mind became active again, he blinked his eyes and asked, "Mr. Yan, you were also an artist, and you didn't have a friend at that time?" I remember that you and Brother Yuan were about the same period, you should be quite familiar......, right? Could it be you and Brother Yuan?"

The last sentence was purely Le Mingxiao's brain-opening, but as soon as he spoke, Yan Duo's face instantly turned cold, and his voice cooled down, he glanced at Le Mingxiao and said, "I'm not familiar with him." ”
