Almost at the same time as his words fell, Tao Xi slowly lowered her eyes.

She didn't speak, but she seemed guilty of acquiescing to what he said, although it was indeed true.

But it was a bit embarrassing to be pierced by him face to face.

In order not to make the atmosphere of getting along with each other uncomfortable, Tao Xi lied bluntly: "I didn't peek at you, but I was watching the last light of the sunset." "Oh."

Shang Huai Qing slightly sipped the herbal tea in his hand, his eyes were clear and cool, looking at Tao Xi, he added in a neutral tone, "Is the light falling on me?"

Tao Xi lowered his eyes again.

Where she couldn't see, Shang Huaiqing's cool eyes gradually began to smile, seeing her lower her head and blushing, his smile gradually became more doting.

The dinner didn't end until nearly nine o'clock. Although there was not much traffic jam on the way back, it was almost ten o'clock at night when we got home.

Originally, Taoxi wanted to watch the sunset, and when he returned home, he wanted Shang Huaiqing to see his cat, but now it was so late, it was a little inconvenient.

Standing at the door, Taoxi asked Shang Huaiqing while taking out the keys from her bag, "About when will you return to the set?" "The

flight at noon the day after tomorrow." Shang Huaiqing turned back to her.

"That's it." Taoxi took out the key, but didn't open the door, and continued to ask him, "Then are you free tomorrow?" As soon as she asked

this sentence, she felt that something was wrong. After sunset and dinner, when she was about to part in the middle of the night, her words seemed to hide too much side emotion.

Nostalgia, reluctance, or fermented ambiguity.

When he realized something was wrong, Taoxi quickly added: "I mean you haven't seen your cat yet." Shang

Huaiqing was not in a hurry to speak, he turned slightly and entered the password on the combination lock, unlocked the door, Then he turned around again, slightly hooked one corner of his lips, and looked at her with a faint smile.

In this short blank time, Tao Xi always felt that he had seen through the hidden feelings in her heart.

"I might not be able to take care of it tomorrow. I have other things to do before I leave Qingbei."

Hearing what he said, it seemed that he didn't intend to see the cat at all when he came back this trip, but just to watch the sunset with her.

"However."

Tao Xi squeezed the key in his hand, and continued to listen to what he said later.

"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon, and we can have dinner together in the evening, and then." Seeing that she seemed a little nervous, Shang Huaiqing smiled lightly, and continued, "Let's take a look at the cat by the way."

 He said the meaning here, it does sound like she came back this trip just to watch the sunset with her, the meaning is unclear.

Tao Xi secretly jumped for joy in her heart.

"Then what do you want to eat tomorrow night, tell me in advance, and I'll make it for you tonight." Although she secretly hid the excitement in her heart, her brisk tone still betrayed her happy mood at that time.

Shang Huai listened clearly, and could see the light in her eyes that couldn't be hidden. He didn't poke it, but just nodded calmly: "Okay, then I won't be polite." After a short chat, the

two finally opened the door and returned to their respective homes.

Taoxi locked her door, turned back to the room, just turned on the light, and saw Shang Huaiqing's three cats, Huihui and Niannian were playing on the cat climbing frame, Awang and Xiaofu were nestling on the sofa go to bed.

Seeing the three cats, Tao Xi recalled that she had randomly guessed whether Shang Huaiqing came back this trip to see the cats, or to accompany her to watch the sunset. When guessing his mind like this, she felt that she was jealous of the three cats. It seems so childish.

Sitting on the sofa, next to Awang and Xiaofu, she recalled her behavior just now. Not only was she jealous with the cats, but also because of Shang Huaiqing's words, she thought she had won the three cats, and she was so happy.

Too strange.

But after thinking about it, she is not the only one who is strange today, Shang Huaiqing is also very strange, especially when he was eating in a small restaurant, he poked himself and peeked at him viciously.

Recalling his appearance at that time belatedly, I always feel that he is not only bad, but also a little seductive, seducing you like a fairy.

Leading to crime.

While thinking about it, Tao Xi's mind flashed the evening when he stood in the last light of the setting sun, slightly raised his head and drank water, his protruding adam's apple wriggled up and down, shiningly exuding the unique maturity of a man hormones, straight Gu people have the urge to kiss his Adam's apple.

When such unscrupulous thoughts suddenly appeared, Tao Xi was startled.

After reacting, she only felt that her cheeks were a little hot. Even though there was no one around, her shame still made her feel ashamed. She was obviously recalling how he drank water, but the painting style suddenly changed.

And it's changed.

So provocative?

She threw herself onto the sofa sideways, buried her whole face in the soft cloud cushion, and curled up there motionless like a caterpillar.

After a while, Taoxi sat up again. Although she was very curious about why she had that kind of thought, she didn't dare to think about Shang Huaiqing any more, fearing that she would come up with something even weirder .

She touched her cheek with the back of her hand, and it was still a little hot. She probably still blushed. Fortunately, no one saw her at home, but when she got up and was about to go to the bedroom, she turned her head and saw lying on the other side of her. Ngawang.

It was lying there on its side, with golden hair, like an old monk in cassock, looking at her with an expression of seeing through the world and not caring.

He saw all the embarrassment she had just now.

It was late at night.

It was pitch black outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was silence. Although it was already midnight, Shang Huaiqing didn't feel any sleepiness, and instead became more energetic as the night progressed.

When he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the floor lamp next to the sofa.

The room was very quiet, without the figures of the three cats running around, Nuo Da's room looked particularly empty. Thinking of coming back this time, let alone taking the cats home, he didn't even bother to take a look at the three cats. cat.

When I came back to finish my work, I only remembered to go to Shengying Avenue with Taoxi to watch the sunset.

I don't know if Sanxiao will hate him because of this.

Shang Huai smiled. He sat down on the sofa, and then picked up the script on the table, wanting to study the character's psychological activities while he was still awake, but he couldn't calm down when he opened the script. I was thinking about Taoxi just now, but now I can see her smile in the restaurant in the evening from time to time.

When she opened her eyes slightly, she looked pure and innocent, those eyes were particularly beautiful, black and white were distinct, and the bottom of her eyes was stained with rippling and clear broken light, but her natural charm was not diminished by half.

Like a poppy that blooms in the dark, it is addictive.

When you blush because you teased her, you can't help but feel the urge to hold her in your arms, hold her tightly, and don't let go even if she struggles, wanting to see her shyly go straight to your arms drill in.

Realizing that his thoughts had crossed the line, Shang Huaiqing stopped the out-of-control imaginary images in his mind in time. He lowered his eyes slightly, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see too many bright emotions.

But under the dim light of the desk lamp, the end of his eyes, the brows, and even the lingering smile on his lips were somewhat ambiguous and charming.

Sitting there quietly for a while, Shang Huaiqing turned his attention to the script, but he still couldn't read a single word. He remembered that he had invited Lu Zhaomin to dinner tomorrow, and planned to discuss the role with him, a psychiatrist, so that he could understand the script. You can have a more accurate understanding of the role, so you don't have to think about it here.

The next day coincided with the first day of the May Day holiday, the streets were full of people, even the restaurant where I met Lu Zhaomin was overcrowded, the two had to temporarily change to a private room in a western restaurant.

"I didn't expect there would be so many people on the first day of the holiday." Entering the private room, Lu Zhaomin casually complained.

Shang Huaiqing took the menu from the waiter: "This is the case in big cities, and there are people everywhere on weekends."

After the two of them finished ordering, the waiter walked out of the private room.

"I saw the message you sent me on WeChat, so is the new character encountering psychological problems?" Lu Zhaomin asked directly into the topic.

Shang Huai nodded with a smile: "I'll trouble you every time." "

It's okay, this time I need to find some information for you, or give you some pointers."

"Just chat." On the chin, he continued, "The characters in the new movie have traumatic stress disorder, and it is difficult for me to get out of it. I want to hear you talk more about this, and then...

" I told Lu Zhaomin one by one about the psychological confusion.

After chatting about the business, Lu Zhaomin casually asked something else: "Does your character have any emotional scenes?"

Shang Huaiqing raised his red wine glass: "Yes, but not many. It's the kind of inseparable emotion with the heroine."

" Well, it fits well with the male lead's psychological problems." Lu Zhaomin then picked up the red wine glass and added, "Patients with traumatic stress disorder are generally autistic in terms of emotions, it is difficult to open up, and it is not easy to be able to Entered into an intimate relationship smoothly."

Shang Huaiqing nodded, speaking of his own experience, he had a little in common with the hero of the movie, and he also closed himself for a period of time because of the death of his parents. Intimacy, he doesn't even bother to deal with ordinary social interactions.

But unlike the male protagonist, he later walked out of that hazy experience with his own willpower, gradually returned to normal, and met the girl who was in his heart.

Tao Xi.

Shang Huaiqing took a sip of the red wine, pulled away from the serious thinking just now, and when talking about feelings, Taoxi uncontrollably came to his mind.

"If in real life I met a girl like the male protagonist who has experienced psychological trauma, would it scare her if I entered into an intimate relationship too quickly?" He asked as tactfully as possible.

In fact, he knew early in the morning that he should approach Taoxi slowly, and that he would scare her too quickly. He understood the reason, and he did slow down, but now he has clearly felt that the emotional flow between him and her has begun to become uncontrollable. It's a little hot, although it's hidden in a dark place, it's just about time to pierce a layer of window paper.

And this timing is what troubles him the most. If it is not just right, too early or too late will have an immeasurable impact, and it is difficult to grasp the speed.

Because once some words are spoken, the relationship between friends is broken, and there is no room for maneuver.

In the worst case, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make friends.

Lu Zhaomin didn't speak, just looked at him silently, relying on the analytical ability of the psychiatrist, he guessed that what he said was not a random question.

"Does this mean that you met your heroine in real life?" Lu Zhaomin said to the point.

Shang Huaiqing smiled: "Just asking casually."

Knowing that Lu Zhaomin had seen through him, he still made such a far-fetched explanation.

I don't want to talk too much. After all, Taoxi had seen a doctor at Lu Zhaomin's place. If she inquired too much, she would have the illusion that the doctor would reveal the patient's privacy.

It's still later, when his relationship with Taoxi is confirmed, it won't be too late to confess.

Lu Zhaomin was very interesting and did not pursue the question, but simply gave him a trick: "If it is a girl, the mind will be more sensitive. You must not be too hasty in chasing such a traumatized girl. Try it out, give her some hints, and see how she responds."

Shang Huaiqing nodded slightly, lowered his eyes, cut a small piece of steak, and did not continue this topic.

Later, they chatted about other things, because Lu Zhaomin had to go back to the clinic in the afternoon, and after lunch, they didn't stop any longer, and the two parted at the entrance of the restaurant.

Shang Huaiqing drank some red wine and was unable to drive when he returned, so he had to find a substitute driver. As soon as he got in the car, he leaned against the back row and took a nap. When he woke up, the substitute driver had already taken his car Stopped at the gate of the community.

"Brother, it's here."

Shang Huaiqing opened his eyes slowly, and he took out his mobile phone: "Okay, I'll transfer the money to you through WeChat."

"Okay."

After the transfer, after the driver left, Shang Huaiqing He got out of the car, but instead of going home, he went to a nearby supermarket.

On the way, he sent Taoxi a WeChat message.

——I'm going to the supermarket now. I'll buy what I want to eat at night.

In just a few seconds, Taoxi over there replied to him.

——No need, I've bought everything, see what you want to eat, I'll cook it for you tonight.

Shang Huaiqing stopped, he stood under the shade of a tree, thought for a while, and after two or three seconds, he typed a sentence on the keyboard.

——I can do anything, as long as it is done by you, I like it.

Knowing that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, and it was similar to the old-fashioned routine of a bad man deliberately flirting with a girl, but after he finished typing, he still sent it directly to Taoxi.

After the message was sent, there was no reply after waiting for a long time. After about three or four minutes, I finally received the message from Taoxi.

A very simple message.

--oh.
