MTL - His Marriage Partner is Scheming-Chapter 28
The maple leaves all over the street are turning red very quickly.
With the growing intensity of autumn, the scenery that Chi Xueyan looks out from the window of the consulting room every day has subtle differences.
Thanks to the telescope given by He Qiao, he was able to see exactly how many maple leaves on a certain tree had turned red.
This also adds a bit of freshness to the autumn that comes every year outside the clinic as scheduled.
Although Chi Xueyan put down the telescope, he didn't use it to look at He Qiao's office window.
He didn't really want to invade the other party's privacy.
Doing business always involves complex interpersonal interactions, which can even be called commercial secrets in many cases.
On the contrary, there are only children coming and going and the permanent dental chair in the window of his consulting room, and there is no personal privacy, so he doesn't mind He Qiao seeing it.
From the day when he fell asleep listening to the project plan and saw two telescopes when he woke up, Chi Xueyan had a more and more clear feeling.
Even putting aside those mysterious unknowns, he still thinks that He Qiao is a fun person.
For example, the way to send a telescope.
He Qiao didn't hand him a copy directly, but put down two brand new boxes silently, telling him that this was related to the change of two people's vision, and at the same time giving him full freedom of choice and decision.
If Chi Xueyan just pretended that he didn't see it, then he would obviously regard these two telescopes as still life decorations and would not use them.
If Chi Xueyan took the initiative to accept it, it meant that He Qiao was also given the freedom to look back, and the other telescope would also be unpacked.
The communication between them seems to be like this all the time, it doesn't need much words, just a look or a movement can complete it.
Chi Xueyan likes the seriousness and introverted rationality of He Qiao, they are extreme.
It's as extreme as Su Yu, who would laugh and cry and drag a strange classmate for three hours after breaking up in love.
And he just happens to know how to appreciate these unusual personalities.
If he and He Qiao hadn't agreed to get married, there was a high probability that they would become good friends.
...However, even if we agree to get married, it doesn't seem to affect being friends.
Maybe it can also make this essentially cold relationship a little more light-hearted and fun.
After living with roommates with similar temperaments for a long time, it is a matter of course to gradually become friends.
Besides, Chi Xueyan no longer has any special thoughts about He Qiao.
When people simply make friends, it has nothing to do with sexual orientation, it is only related to love.
In the eyes of Chi Xueyan today, there is no difference between He Qiao and Su Yu.
One is very moving and the other is very quiet, both of which meet the fun standard in his heart.
So Chi Xueyan has not returned to her home for two weeks.
Anyway, the parents who finally enjoyed the long-lost world of the two also thought he was a light bulb.
It's better to live with friends who can chat, so as not to be disgusted.
Today is the day when He Qiao produced the first key advertisement after taking over Wanjia Media, and it was broadcast on the TV station.
At night after get off work, after dinner, Chi Xueyan and He Qiao sat on the sofa together, waiting for the commercial to be broadcast on TV.
This is what he asked on his own initiative, and he also offered to see it when he came out of the room.
Chi Xueyan often reaches out to interested people proactively like this.
He rarely hides his emotions, and does whatever he wants, whether it's out of fun, boredom, trust, disgust, or the rarest of emotions.
Now, he is happy for He Qiao's career progress as a friend, not as an agreement lover who has always been indifferent to this.
Although it was already cool autumn outside the window, the warmly decorated living room of the new house was filled with real warmth and liveliness for the first time at night.
The sofa is spacious and soft, the screen is flickering, and two glasses of grapefruit juice with ice are placed casually on the coffee table.
With one minute left before the broadcast time, He Qiao saw the sluggish person beside him pick up the remote control and carefully adjust the volume to the maximum value within the acceptable range.
He was looking forward to that ad very seriously.
The screen of the mobile phone left on the coffee table remained on, and new messages kept popping up.
Chi Xueyan only glanced at it, then looked away clearly, and deliberately turned the screen upside down so as not to see it light up all the time.
He Qiao looked at his actions that he seemed to be used to, and subconsciously asked, "Don't you need to reply to the message?"
"Not for the time being." Chi Xueyan said casually, "I'm just a tree hole now, and he won't look at it when I get back, and just talk to himself."
He Qiao didn't know who the "he" in this sentence was, but it was a conversational tone that could continue to ask.
But before he could continue asking, the ad started.
The unique voice and moving melody reverberate in a rare and warm home.
He Qiao has seen many different versions of this advertisement, and is very familiar with every detail.
He knew when the people in the picture would start talking, knew every movement of the actors, and knew which line was the most touching in the newly written commercial song sung by Duan Ruo.
So he was distracted.
The people around him were staring at the screen in front of them, unaware of the gazes on them.
The warm yellow ceiling lamp and the colorful light and shadow make the wind that seems to be unable to catch it temporarily stop on a small red maple.
The usually flamboyant hair color is rendered by the night, showing a bit of dark richness, reminiscent of the young face, soft and clear black hair that was only glimpsed on the bar poster.
The singing continued.
This is the most touching sentence.
"...closer to you from the farthest place."
The chorus is completely over here, and only the fading music remains in the air.
Duan Ruo, who was sitting in front of the computer, breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the cup to drink water to relieve the tension after singing a new song.
One after another compliments popped up on the screen. There were not many people, but they were all filled with sincere joy.
When it was a flash in the pan, many people liked his songs. After several years of silence, there are still some loyal fans waiting for him to come back, sending sincere private messages to singer accounts that have stopped posting new updates for a long time information.
So Duan Ruo chose to spend the night when the ad was launched with fans who still remember him.
He sang the song for them, called "Closer."
It wasn't the song he took to Wanjia Media at the beginning.
That song was recognized, and many of the songs he had accumulated in the past few years were recognized, and in exchange for a preferential contract for a long-term cooperation.
But both Duan Ruo and the staff in the music department thought his latest song was the best, so they unanimously decided to use "Close" as the soundtrack for the commercial.
His life has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. This emotion that is difficult to describe in words has been turned into inspiration and composed into this song.
It comes from the accident of fate.
During the time when he was writing the new song, Duan Ruo kept thinking, if he hadn’t received the job at the wedding, if he hadn’t offered to use his stage name, if one company after another had rejected him, if it would have taken him a long time to decide cheer up...
In the longer and hopeless wastage, he didn't know what he would become.
Having survived the misfortune of being betrayed by someone he trusted, he finally regained his luck.
Excited fans were discussing this new song that was bought by a big company on the chat screen, discussing his unchanged voice and improved singing skills, and also discussing his new name that was a little funny when he first heard it.
On the other side of the screen, Duan Ruo showed less shyness on his face, and he took the initiative to open up the chatter box, chatting with these fans who are almost old friends.
"I like the new name Duanluo very much. I remember that someone called my name off the stage before, and sometimes they called it as Duanlu by mistake, and the people next to me laughed."
"It doesn't matter now, because whichever name is called is right."
In the text full of laughter, the unique voice narrates quietly, delivering sincerity to them.
"I'm still me, but I'm not me anymore."
"My life has a new beginning, I am trying to get closer to freedom, to get closer to those things that have been lost."
"...and close to you who have been away for a long time."
Sound and light linger in front of the transparent glass windows.
Other commercials have already started to play on TV, Chi Xueyan stared at the screen, still not satisfied.
It's not the song I've heard in the studio before, but it's better, full of heartfelt, complex emotions that grab the listener's ears and hearts.
It's a pity that only the most memorable part of the chorus was selected in the advertisement, not the complete song, and it ended before he had listened to it.
But Chi Xueyan could predict that this song would shine.
Apart from the music, the rest of the ad is of high quality.
This will be a win-win cooperation.
After turning the TV volume back to normal, Chi Xueyan asked the people around him: "Is this a new song he wrote?"
He Qiao nodded: "The latest one, after they discussed it, they temporarily decided to use this song as the soundtrack."
"It can be heard that there are many personal feelings in it. He really loves music." Chi Xueyan chatted with him casually, "I want to listen to the full version, do you have it there?"
"Yes, do you want to listen now?"
"want."
After Chi Xueyan finished his answer, he suddenly stopped He Qiao who was about to get up to get the computer.
"Wait a minute." There was a little helplessness in his voice, "I probably don't have time to listen tonight."
The phone, which had been turned to silent, vibrated on the coffee table.
Chi Xueyan picked up the phone and very presciently held the phone far away from her ear.
The excited voice suddenly erupted inside, even He Qiao who was standing aside could hear it clearly.
"Old Chi!" The excited Lawyer Su broke his voice, "I'm in a relationship!"
Chi Xueyan congratulated calmly: "Congratulations on your first love I don't know how many times."
That's why he didn't bother to read the news before.
Whether it's breaking up or falling in love again, Su Yu will first treat him like a tree hole and express his feelings in words, and then ask him to chat about the details face to face if he is still not satisfied.
For Lawyer Su, every love and breakup is like the most unforgettable first heartbeat and first heartbreak.
In his eyes, love is the most interesting thing in the world, and each stage of love has different interests, not to mention experiencing with different people.
"Are you free tonight?" Su Yu made an appointment with him very skillfully, "If you are free, you can choose a place. Let me tell you, this time is really different..."
"That's what you said last time."
While talking on the phone with him, Chi Xueyan looked up at He Qiao.
He lay motionless on the sofa, and seemed to have no intention of getting up and going out.
He Qiao understood exactly what he meant, and took the initiative to ask, "Do you want him to come to your house?"
Chi Xueyan really didn't want to go out tonight.
The sofa is so comfortable.
In the past, when he was too lazy to go out, Su Yu, who couldn't hold back for a moment, would consciously come to the door and chatter. At first, Han Zhenzhen wentssiped twice and listened in. Later, when he heard that Su Yu had relationship problems again, he just turned around and ran away. .
With the permission of her roommate, Chi Xueyan said to Su Yu: "If you don't want to go out, come to my house, He Qiao is here."
"Okay, it's the first time I'm going to your new house, should I bring some gifts?"
Half an hour later, the quick-moving lawyer Su brought a large bag of beer.
As soon as Chi Xueyan opened the door, a smirk full of love bloomed on his face, and he repeated today's key point loudly: "Old Chi! I'm in love!"
Chi Xueyan: ...
He really didn't want to fall in love.
Watching Su Yu keep dating and breaking up with different people is more fun than talking with himself.
Su Yu also greeted He Qiao with a familiar tone: "This house is so beautiful, Aunt Sheng is really amazing, if I get married in the future, can I copy the design style..."
The color of the home is like a fairy tale. A pair of newlyweds who have just finished their wedding. One is going to get a beer glass and ice cubes with a gentle attitude, and the other is lying on the sofa with the remote control to search for programs as the background sound. It is a match made in heaven.
Perfect for sharing his radiant first love mood.
It may be that the atmosphere was too good, which led to Su Yu's extraordinary performance. Today, he finished talking after only two hours of nagging.
It was two hours packed with information.
He started from the memory at the first sight, talked about approaching step by step, and communicated with each other like fireworks blooming.
"I really didn't expect it at first, you know Lao Chi, I hate that law firm the most, the hooligans and scum in the red circle, their boss is just a fool... Forget it, don't swear today."
"Every time I meet the other person, it's their case. Even if it's not my case, I will help them for free. But that day, I was sitting in the auditorium and distracted, and I couldn't listen to the case at all."
"She is very special, I can't think of another word, you know? It's just special, the most special among the crowd, people can't take their eyes off."
"Although she was sitting there, she always looked like she was doing business. When she got out of the court and chatted outside, she also had the same attitude. She didn't want to talk to me."
Hearing this, Chi Xueyan, who was watching the game and listening to Su Yu's thoughts, concluded, "So this time it's a secret love?"
"That's right, start with a crush." Su Yu poured wine into the three glasses in turn, "Then chase her."
The bright yellow beer was poured into the glass with a bang, and countless fluffy hop foams surged instantly.
He Qiao on the side listened quietly.
"...I invited her to dinner and knew that she was going to watch a new movie that was released recently, so I took the opportunity to ask her to go with her. It turned out that she was really concentrating on watching the movie, but I couldn't help but peek at her."
"Someone in their office is also chasing her. I really want to beat up that idiot—damn, don't swear."
"I can't always figure out what she is thinking, because she doesn't ask me anything, as if she has no curiosity about me."
Chi Xueyan interjected naturally: "No wonder you started sharing music in Moments recently. It's midnight, will anyone really listen to it?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't listen, and it's not for you to read." Su Yu grinned, emphasizing every word, "Anyway, when I woke up in the morning, I found that she liked me."
"..." Chi Xueyan was silent for a moment.
He glanced at He Qiao, who was staring down at the beer mug, and reminded, "Can you control your expression a little?"
"No, I can't do it, anyway, there are no outsiders here."
Su Yu couldn't wait to say: "I continued to talk, and then I started from that song and chatted with her again, only to find that our tastes are very similar. The mood at that time was really—I can't describe it."
"Seriously, Lao Chi, love is definitely the most wonderful thing in this world..."
Before late at night, Su Yu, who had talked enough, bid farewell to the couple contentedly.
In addition to the sense of comfort after sharing the joy with his friends, there is still a trace of surprise in his heart.
Unexpectedly, He Qiao, who participated in this activity for the first time, listened so intently throughout the whole process that he didn't even take a second look at the extraordinarily exciting football game on TV.
This refreshed Su Yu's understanding of He Qiao.
Good temper and patience beyond imagination.
After all, except for Chi Xueyan who is good at dual-tasking and can listen to his nagging and do other things at the same time, most people will more or less lose sight of him after he talks, but he really can't restrain the excitement in his heart, he must get Just finish.
As expected of the person who made Lao Chi suddenly decide to get married.
...ah, get married.
Su Yu, who was still immersed in love and acted foolishly, got into the car and waved goodbye to the two who sent him downstairs together.
The cars carrying excited passengers gradually drove away, and the night fell silent again.
After Chi Xueyan watched him leave, she couldn't help saying to the people around her: "Is he really good at talking? No wonder he's a lawyer."
Before Su Yu came, he gave He Qiao a rough description of what would happen, and he didn't have to be with him all the time, and he could do his own thing at any time.
But to his surprise, He Qiao listened to the whole process quietly.
The autumn night was slightly cool, and Chi Xueyan was still wearing short sleeves that were suitable for the temperature at home. When the wind blew by, his exposed skin instantly felt a chill.
He Qiao responded softly to his emotion: "Well, it's very good at speaking, and it also makes people learn a lot."
Hearing this, Chi Xueyan was a little curious, and couldn't help turning to look at him, and asked, "For example?"
When he looked over, he realized that He Qiao knew the temperature outside better than himself, so he went downstairs with a long-sleeved shirt.
Under the dim street lights, the white shirt held in the palm of the hand was a little transparent, like a hazy mist.
He Qiao also looked sideways at him, his gaze was soaked by the deep night, making it difficult to see clearly.
Chi Xueyan heard his serious voice, like a student who just finished reading a brand new textbook.
"For example, it turned out that it was a secret love."
The white shirt fell gently on his shoulders like snow that suddenly fell.
