X City is just a second- and third-tier small city in China, and the only thing that is famous is this old-fashioned film and television base.

The distant mountains are like daisies, and the near water contains smoke. Several low mountains with an altitude of just over a thousand meters surround the town, and the bluestone road is crooked and connected to the people's homes, except for the busy sound of the crew and employees working and setting the scene, there is no noise.

Zhou Heting was dressed in a brocade costume, leaning against a gazebo slightly away from the shooting center with a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at the water and mountains in the distance.

A long time ago, some afternoons when his mother was not yet sick and her mind was still lucid, he remembered vividly that the woman was sewing and mending the costume and telling him that when they had saved money for a while, when she had won the job that was completely illusory, or even after a benefactor had squandered it, they had saved enough money to buy two plane tickets to a certain fishing and rice town in China.

By that time, she would be able to teach the town's children to sing and perform, and she would be able to play with children her age, and they would live a peaceful and peaceful life, without stained glass bottles, without spherical stage lamps over their heads, without having to drink strong liquor to read bills, and without starving children and drunken mothers.

"During the Chinese New Year, I will buy you a small Tang suit, it must be made of silk, do you know silk? It is as shiny as water, and it will reflect like water in the sun...... When the time comes, we can also ask the neighbors to make dumplings in the small yard, and then you can go to the fireworks with the older children and run around the streets during the New Year's celebration......"

Zhou Jie knew that what his mother was best at was deceiving people, whether it was herself or others. But that passage undoubtedly left an indelible trace in his heart at a young age. Zhou Ruchen has built a picture of a happy and ordinary future, but it seems that neither she nor her children can realize this wish. Zhou Yiting also thought about living his life peacefully with someone, without high achievements and not caring how many people knew, but it backfired, and that person finally left him.

Since he learned more about Ren Fengyu and Lu Rui, he has been suffering from slight insomnia.

Every word he argued with Pei Ji that day was very clearly engraved in his mind, and Pei Ji's confident appearance at that time suddenly reminded him of his former self...... I firmly believe that I will go through decades of long years hand in hand with Frank. In fact, he had seen it a long time ago, and he also understood the cruel decision made by Frank at that time, he understood the other party's suffering, but he felt that the front was bleak, and there was no sense of epiphany thoroughness.

Is the relationship he needs the same as Ren Fengyu, destined to have a bumpy road? Or is his requirements too harsh? Is the partner who can give up his glamorous career and live an ordinary life not exist in the circle he has come into contact with? He can't give himself an answer, but he has to admit that Pei Ji's firm gaze that day did make him have too many thoughts of crossing the line.

Anyone can say beautiful things, and he has always enlightened himself like this. Instead of unrealistically expecting others to cater to your own view of love, think about something more realistic, such as what breed of dog is more suitable for a man who lives alone, and which type of dog has the longest lifespan?

Zhou listened to himself amused, he couldn't find a suitable person to spend a small life with him, and finding a suitable dog could also be considered.

After thinking about it, he took a sip of hot tea, and the fragrance of tea mixed with warm current melted into his body, which really dispelled a trace of the cold of deep winter.

"Listen?" Pei Ji's hoarse voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

Zhou Yiting shook his head, could it be that he was already hungry and thirsty to the point of auditory hallucinations?

"Are you deaf?" This time the voice brought a sense of reality, and it was getting closer and closer, "Playing a big name with me?" Before the words fell, Pei Ji's face appeared in front of him, and the proximity was really startled.

The hand was unstable, and the hot tea in the cup spilled out a little, and it landed on the back of Zhou Erting's hand, and there was immediately a slight burning sensation.

Pei Ji quickly helped him hold the cup, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What are you doing here in a daze, and you just happen to be standing in the position of the tuyere, isn't it cold enough?"

Zhou He listened and steadied his heart and counterattacked, "I'm colder when I see you." You're done filming?"

Pei Ji said casually while taking him down the pavilion: "After filming, the acting skills of the person who played the rival play were too poor, and he was called away by Director Han to talk about the play." I guess I'll have to shoot another hour before it's over...... It's been a hell these days, and it's been so cold. ”

"You have rough skin and thick flesh, and you're afraid of freezing?"

"You really can't talk...... By the way, are you free tonight?"

"What are you doing, do you have a new situation to share?" Zhou He listened to his coat tightly, he was thinking about it all the time just now, but now when he came back to his senses, he realized that the temperature around him was indeed quite low, and his nose felt frozen red.

"What's new...... I want to ask if you have time to go to the hot springs, I just heard that there is a private bath here, and it is too cold these days, let's go enjoy it?"

Zhou and listened to his mention, only to feel that his scalp was a little numb. Like him, who is naturally curved, entering a public bathroom is like a straight man breaking into a women's bath, even if it is a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, he has to avoid it, let alone soak in a hot spring alone with a man of Pei Ji's quality...... Where is enjoyment, it is clearly sin! It is better to blow in the cold wind!

"No, no, no. He showed some perfunctory impatience on his face, "I feel bad with you in the bathwater." ”

Pei Ji didn't seem to be very happy, and his tone also revealed such a little meaning, but how did he look at it with a little treacherous smile, "What's the matter, the actor is still picky when he takes a bath with you?"

"I have a cleanliness fetish, and I can't stand it. ”

"Excuses! I haven't heard you say it before!"

"You didn't ask me to go to the hot springs before. ”

"Fart! Look at your appearance, you are just perfunctory to me, you are not telling the truth!" Pei Ji stubbornly became stubborn, thinking that he finally saw that he wanted to develop well with Zhou Heting, and finally came up with a way to make the relationship between the two develop rapidly for several nights, but he was actually vetoed by one vote? Boss Pei resolutely did not allow this to happen! And as far as he knew about Zhou Erting, it was no problem for this person to shit in front of people who had no ideas, but he minded people who were a little interesting. His current strong refusal is clearly two words in Boss Pei's eyes - there is a play!

Boss Pei sighed with emotion in his heart, it was not in vain that he had been entangled every day for most of the past half a month, and he had thoughts about him when he heard it, and he didn't run away! I think that at the beginning, he still minded his words and deeds everywhere for the image of others, for fear of invisibly provoking others, but now it is only half a year of effort, but he wants to have something to do with others.

After the suspected deviance of the hot pot restaurant, he has always suspected that he has feelings for Zhou Heting that transcend friendship, and he thought about it for five days and recalled almost everything they had experienced, and finally Boss Pei realized that in fact, he treated Zhou Erting differently from ordinary friends a long time ago, but he couldn't turn around for a while after being straight for thirty years, so he realized it later.

However, even the late awakening did not prevent him from devoting himself to the revolutionary cause. Pei Ji knew that he was still in the stage of crush and ambiguity, and if he wanted Zhou Heting to have unstoppable feelings for him, he must take a fierce medicine and break through this stage to enter a new world.

Soaking in private soup together, he felt that he really couldn't think of a trick more fierce than this, after all, he couldn't run to someone's suite in the middle of the night to take off his clothes and show off his muscles...... Now God helps him, the weather is so cold, it is very reasonable to soak in the hot springs!

"No matter what you say, I just won't go. And I have to play against Cui Menghua at night, I made an appointment with him before, and tomorrow there is our rivalry, I need to warm up. Zhou listened but didn't give him a chance, and inadvertently, he also stimulated Pei Ji.

"Cui Menghua?" Boss Pei's tone changed, "You mean...... You refused to go to the hot springs with me because you wanted to play against that kid?"

Zhou Yiting nodded, "Well, my comprehension ability has improved." ”

Pei Ji only felt that his throat was tight, this was obviously a big hidden danger! Why didn't he notice it before!?

"As for the acting skills surnamed Cui, it is useless for you to warm up with him! I can tell you clearly, the hot spring restaurant I invited you to is ......" Pei Ji was still gushing and working hard, and the two of them were arguing, when they suddenly heard a woman's loud scream not far away.

"Ahh!!h
