CHAPTER XXXIV
"Nothing Happens on Dawn Street" finally started airing on TV on Christmas Day.
Three episodes aired on the first day, followed by two episodes every Friday, and were scheduled for primetime at 8 p.m.
On Christmas night, Zhou Yiting spent the holiday alone in his apartment. After Lu Pin made dinner for him, he hurried home to accompany his parents, although it was a foreign festival, the little assistant was still very happy to show his cooking skills in front of his relatives. Originally, he planned to invite Zhou Heting to come to celebrate the festival together, and by the way, let his parents feel the pleasure of "the starring actor of the TV series being played on TV is eating melon seeds by his side", but Zhou Heting resolutely refused with a calm tone.
He knew that Zhou Er listened to this person who was slow and unsociable, so it was not feasible to rashly invite him to come to his house for the holiday, so he didn't force it.
Zhou Er listened to a Christmas tree dragged back from the store near the community, bought some colored balls to hang on it, and finally wrapped layers of neon lights, and after the power was turned on, the streamer flickered, and the empty apartment finally had a festive atmosphere.
He turned on the TV and tuned to the TV station that was playing the first episode of "Breaking Dawn", the time was almost half past eight, and the plot happened to develop to the first meeting between the detectives and the policemen, Pei Ji's face with a wicked smile appeared on the LCD screen by the camera in a close-up.
Zhou listened to the noisy laughter of the characters in the TV series, but gradually recalled the scenes of Christmas in those years in his mind.
His Christmas was always spent with two people, when he was young, with his mother, and they would also save up to buy a small Christmas tree, buy some fluffy snow-white Christmas ornaments, and if there was any money left, then his mother would buy him a Santa hat or a small handful of candy made in the shape of a Christmas cane. Over the years, Christmas Day was one of the few warm moments he had with his mother.
When he grew up, his mother left, and for a few years he spent Christmas with another person, in a small apartment they shared. They were relatively wealthy at the time, and he got a steady job as a resident actor in a big theater, and that man was still traveling to and from various filming sets in search of opportunities. Their wages are not very low, but the two of them have always wanted to save money to buy an apartment of their own, so they have been living frugally. That man can be very naughty occasionally, and Zhou Heyan remembers that he stole a Christmas tree from a community property to decorate the community on Christmas evening, in order to save a sum of money to buy trees and decorations, but was unfortunately caught and fined money, which was naturally much higher than the price of a Christmas tree.
Zhou Ji remembered that he was very angry at first, but then what happened? That person must have played tricks on him again, in fact, such a big man was coquettish and had no sense of beauty at all, but he always forgave that person very willingly, as he had done again and again. Then the two of them went to the Christmas market by the Thames, and the man picked up the coins left for the homeless man on the ground and bought a cup of bubble chocolate, but he was so stingy that he could only taste a slight bitter sweetness from the lips and the tip of his tongue during the kiss.
The wind on the banks of the Thames was cold, and the man would always take off his scarf and put it on for Zhou Erting, and put his cold hands into his armpits to keep warm. Men say that their skin is not as rough as their white people, but as smooth and bright as silk, and they look so delicate that they always feel that they need to be cared for too much. In fact, Zhou Erting has never needed the protection of others, he is more like the one who protects others, but that person always has a heart for him that he can't let go, and he has endless advice. Zhou and Obey don't like others to dictate to him, but that person is a complete exception. They spent a lot of festivals together, and those memories were so deep that Zhou Yiting couldn't control his thoughts at all.
He had always had that person in all his fantasies about happiness, and pain did come with the man's departure.
Zhou Erting's eyes were a little sore, but he refused to blink.
Think about what you said to Pei Ji two days ago, since you have decided, you can't regret it, and since you have done it, don't imagine another possibility. Where can he comfort people, he is just on the way to comfort himself, practice makes perfect.
Zhou He suddenly came back to his senses, he took a sip of beer, but found that the TV series had been broadcast, and some miscellaneous advertisements were interspersed. The light and shadow flow on his face and there is no trace of time, but Christmas does not snow like it did back then, and the city has completely changed.
Is this really a new life, he thought?
"Would you like to ask Mr. Zhou to come with you for Christmas?" asked Xiaojing as she decorated the Christmas tree.
Pei Ji got out of the pile of wine and meat friends, he slipped to Xiaojing to avoid being drunk, but he was inadvertently stopped by such a sentence.
He paused for two seconds and said with a smile: "What are you asking him for, so many people must be embarrassed and disappointed with the temperament of that goods." ”
Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, but heard Pei Ji, who was caught by the group of men and women again, add a second before leaving: "After the party is over, I will go directly to his house to find him." Immediately afterwards, Boss Pei had already returned to the boiling crowd again, and he was drinking happily while hugging for himself.
Xiaojing knows that every Christmas day, Pei Ji will invite a few friends who get along well to come to the house for a small party. Although he is an assistant, he always stays for the holidays, but he doesn't like that group of impetuous and babbling people, and always sneaks into the kitchen to make fruit bowls and open wine bottles.
Although Pei Ji is a hot star in the circle, he has always been famous for making good connections, and he has all kinds of friends and is willing to make friends. Although most of them are just a few words of friendship, whenever it comes to Pei Jiqi, he will definitely say a good word. In the past two years, Pei Ji has been preparing to establish his own studio, his business is busy, and the schedule is very full, and he has not had the energy to solve personal problems, and he has been single for nearly two years. However, in fact, Pei Ji didn't have many relationships in the past, as far as Xiaojing knew, he only talked about a girlfriend in college, and then he didn't know what the girl thought, and he split his legs with Pei Boss, and Pei Ji didn't bother to have a good relationship with any one in the future, most of them came to an end in the most vulgar form, which was no different from finding a cannon & friend.
Pei Ji also complained to him, saying that he couldn't find a suitable fit, which often made him not even interested in chatting, and he didn't want to see those vulgar faces every day.
Xiao Jing thought at first that Pei Ji's vision was too high, but after seeing him even throw off the supermodel cleanly, Xiao Jing slowly realized that Pei Ji was not a high vision, he just couldn't find someone he really loved.
In fact, Pei Ji is afraid of loneliness, otherwise he would not have invited so many people who can toss to come to his house to play so noisily during the festival, but in Xiaojing's opinion, instead of fooling around with these superficial young people, it is better to have a glass of wine with Mr. Zhou and talk about the script.
Pei Ji and the gang of people quarreled until late at night, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that the group gradually left, and there were only two people left in the apartment in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Jing looked at Pei Ji, who was leaning on the sofa with a somewhat messy collar and obviously slightly drunk, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you want to sleep directly?"
Pei Ji propped up his forehead, there were only two buttons left in his shirt that had not been unbuttoned, but he still felt hot, probably because the air conditioning and heating were turned on too much, he frowned and thought for a while before hesitating: "...... What time is it?"
"It's two o'clock, the twenty-sixth. Xiaojing replied honestly.
Pei Ji's brows furrowed even tighter, "Tsk, why didn't you tell me earlier......" He complained and sat up, looking much more awake, "I guess I'm asleep at this point." ”
Xiao Jing looked unhappy and nodded depressedly, "Mr. Zhou must have slept." ”
Pei Ji pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Let's go." Go to his apartment. ”
"Boss, no, maybe they're already asleep. ”
"It's hard to go downstairs to his house, if you haven't slept, the lights must still be on. ”
“…… You have an idea...... Xiao Jing didn't know what his expression should be, but he was still a little happy in his heart to go to Mr. Zhou's house.
Driving downstairs, Pei Ji sat in the passenger seat and was a little sleepy, "What kind of broken car are you, the noise is so loud." ”
Xiaojing ignored him, turned off the fire and went out, only to see that almost no house in the building in front of him had the lights on, and the floor where Zhou Erting was naturally not lit, and the window was dark.
Pei Ji stared at the window a little dazed, "Xiaojing, you count, is that his house?"
“…… I counted it twice, and yes. ”
Pei Ji leaned back in his chair in extreme disappointment, as if deflated, "Damn......"
Xiao Jing shook his head, and was about to restart the car and prepare to leave, when he saw a figure popping out of the bushes on the side of the road. Xiao Jing was so shocked by the man that he shuddered, squinted his eyes and looked over, but found that the person's figure looked familiar.
Pei Ji had already pressed the window of the car, poked his head out and shouted, "Hey!
The figure was about to trot away, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped, turned around, and seemed to be discerning the people in the car.
Pei Ji had already opened the door and got out of the car, his tone was full of energy, completely different from the drunken decadence before, "What are you running around outside in the middle of the night!"
Zhou Erting was wearing a warm windbreaker, but he wore a pair of slippers on his feet, and he looked nondescript.
“…… Why are you here?"
Pei Ji raised the wine bottle in his hand, "I'm here to drink with you! Why don't you stay at home honestly?"
Zhou Jiting looked down at the ham he was holding in his hand, and said lightly: "It's nothing." I just saw a wild cat at the door and wanted to feed it something, but I chased it all the way here. ”
Pei Ji smiled, "What is it?"
Zhou Heting sighed, "Blame me for opening the door and scaring it, and ran all the way out of the building." It's so cold outside, it's probably going to freeze. ”
Pei Ji was a little absent-minded when he heard it, he didn't have the IQ margin to think about it for a long time, and he heard what kind of wind he had smoked to chase a wild cat here, he was a little confused after being poured so much wine before, and the light was dim at this time, and he was even more confused.
Zhou He heard that the other party didn't make a sound, but walked over a few steps and stretched out his hand to put his shoulder, and then a faint smell of wine came to his nose.
"Let's go, what kind of cat, I'll accompany you upstairs for the holidays." ”
Zhou He let him take him, and semi-voluntarily followed him all the way to the building, followed by a bewildered Xiaojing.
“…… Christmas is over. ”
"So what's the matter, drinking doesn't matter the day!"
You yourself said that you were going to accompany the holiday, and now there is no day......
Zhou Jie sighed, "You don't drink much." The wine was not good, but he didn't say it, only complained a little in his heart.
However, he thought about it again, and he was disturbed by the past events that he forcibly remembered, and even chased wild cats like an idiot when he went out in slippers, and he didn't seem to have any position to criticize other people's abnormalities.
