"There's nothing to talk about." Xu Chengyan put down the script, took the backpack on the side, and pulled out the diary from inside.
"You raised the goldfish to death and deliberately lied to me." Xu Chengyan flipped to the first page, "Negative points."
He Yang took the diary and was silent for a while after seeing the negative points on it.
He Yang looked at the youth in front of him again and still said, "It wasn't on purpose."
"I was afraid you would be angry, so I bought a new one, thinking I wouldn't be found out." He Yang explained.
Xu Chengyan frowned slightly and said, "You could have just told me that my goldfish was dead."
"I was afraid you'd be angry." He Yang came to the sofa and half-crouched down, holding one of the youth's hands, "I won't lie to you in the future."
Xu Chengyan answered softly.
He Yang added, "Also, you didn't reply my message yesterday."
"I don't reply your messages when there’s a negative point, I'll reply again when I have a positive point."
"Then add it back today." He Yang got up a little bit and leaned towards the sofa, "Ten goldfish, I'll buy them for you now and add them to one hundred."
Xu Chengyan couldn't help but say, "You don't get points even if you buy a hundred of them."
"Then advance first." He Yang leaned down and slowly pressed closer, both hands also propped up on the youth's side, encircling him in his arms.
Xu Chengyan reached out and put his hand against the front of He Yang's chest, asking somewhat lazily, "You've got negative points, what's the advance for?"
"I'll make it up next time." He Yang rubbed against the side of the youth's face, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "An advance first?"
He Yang's voice became softer and softer as he gradually moved closer and kissed the youth on the lips.
Lips pressed against each other, breaths entwined.
He Yang rubbed his lips gently against each other, occasionally extending his tongue to lick over them.
Only with the touch, He Yang was a little less satisfied and wanted to go deeper.
And just as He Yang was about to go deeper, Xu Chengyan turned his head sideways and took the initiative to end the kiss.
He Yang opened his eyes and asked softly, "Yanyan?"
Xu Chengyan panted slightly and said, "I’m going to shoot a scene later, they'll be able to see it."
He Yang responded, lowering his head to rub against the youth's neck, "Give me a hug."
Xu Chengyan responded.
He Yang also quietly leaned on the youth's neck and rubbed him, and only after a while did he let go of his hand.
Xu Chengyan also said, "You should go out first, staying too long will make you suspicious."
He Yang got up and left the lounge first.
The director was not far away, and when he saw He Yang coming out of the lounge, he hurriedly went over to talk to him.
He Yang was still somewhat inattentive, listening to the director as he walked towards the set.
And not long after He Yang left, a figure appeared outside the lounge.
Gu Nian looked at the figure of He Yang leaving, and then glanced at the lounge room door, and guessed something.
Gu Nian lowered his eyes, hid the emotions in his eyes and knocked on the door.
After receiving an answer, Gu Nian pushed the door in, and his face was instantly replaced with a smile.
"Qin Zhou Laoshi, it's almost our turn to fix our make-up."
On the sofa, Xu Chengyan also got up and looked over, nodding, "Okay."
Xu Chengyan picked up the script and headed outside.
Gu Nian was standing outside the lounge, waiting until Xu Chengyan came out, looking towards the other party's face and noticing the colour of his lips, which were a little brighter than usual—
It looked like it had been kissed.
There were still two more scenes in the afternoon before the shooting ended.
Xu Chengyan was shooting, while He Yang was sitting on a lounge chair, quietly watching Xu Chengyan's side.
When the shooting was over, Xu Chengyan went to the rest room to remove his make-up.
He Yang was still sitting on the chair and was just about to leave when he suddenly saw someone coming over.
"Mr. He, how are you." Gu Nian walked over somewhat timidly, "My name is Gu Nian, you probably don't remember me....."
Gu Nian spoke somewhat cautiously, "I'm a student you sponsored, we met last time when you went to the charity thanksgiving."
At this moment, Gu Nian was wearing a white shirt and thin-rimmed glasses, fresh and clean.
He Yang looked at the big boy in front of him and suddenly remembered that the last time he had attended a charity event with the youngest son of the Lan family, he had come across a student who had struck up a conversation.
"Hmm." He Yang casually replied, glancing down at his wristwatch to see the time.
And Gu Nian smiled and said, "It's really nice to see Mr. He..... This time, not only did I get to shoot a scene with Qin Zhou Laoshi, but I also got to meet Mr. He."
Hearing the word Qin Zhou, He Yang had a little reaction and looked at Gu Nian in a smooth manner.
So when Xu Chengyan came out from removing his makeup, he saw He Yang and Gu Nian standing together and the two were chatting.
To be precise, it was Gu Nian who was talking and He Yang who was listening.
Xu Chengyan looked at the two and did not go over, but turned around and left the set, heading towards the parking.
Xu Chengyan got into the car and played with his phone while waiting for his manager to come over.
Not long after, Xu Chengyan heard the car door open and looked over.
But it was not the manager who came, but He Yang.
"Why are you here?" Xu Chengyan froze, and hurriedly looked out the car window again, "Did anyone see?"
"No one saw." He Yang got in the car.
Xu Chengyan looked around carefully to make sure no one was passing nearby, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
Xu Chengyan asked again, "Do you and Gu Nian know each other?"
He Yang said casually, "A student I sponsored, I just happened to run into him."
Xu Chengyan also knew that the He family would do charity every year, sponsoring poor students and so on.
He Yang: "He's a bit like you."
Xu Chengyan looked over and asked, "Does he?"
"The old you."
Xu Chengyan thought about it carefully and realized that it did look a bit like that.
Back in the day, when he was still in college, he used to wear a white shirt and glasses because He Yang liked him to dress like that.
It just so happened that Gu Nian was playing a college student in the new drama, wearing a white shirt and glasses.
He was only eighteen years old, so he could be said to be acting in his own right.
Xu Chengyan leaned back in his chair, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then do you think, is the old me better, or the current me better?"
He Yang replied casually, "Both are the same."
Xu Chengyan didn't say anything else, he just leaned quietly against the car window, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
The car drove towards the hotel and stopped not long after.
Xu Chengyan got out of the car, and He Yang followed him.
Xu Chengyan came to the elevator and looked at He Yang beside him, thinking that He Yang was also staying at this hotel, so he asked, "What floor are you staying on?"
He Yang then said, "I forgot to book a hotel, so I'll go back with you."
Xu Chengyan didn't say anything and went into the elevator.
After returning to the hotel room, Xu Chengyan pointed to the sofa and said, "There's no room, you'll sleep here tonight."
He Yang asked, "Where will you sleep."
"In the room." Xu Chengyan took off his jacket and went back into the bedroom first.
He Yang was in the living room and sent another message to his secretary.
It didn't take long for the secretary to bring the luggage over.
When Xu Chengyan heard the sound of movement and came out of the bedroom, he caught a glimpse of He Yang's suitcase and also saw the secretary at the door.
The secretary stood at the door and respectfully said, "Mr. He, then I'll go back to the hotel first."
After saying that, the secretary turned around and left, closing the door.
Xu Chengyan looked at the suitcase, then looked at He Yang and said, "Your secretary has found a hotel to stay in, and you still haven't found a place?"
"I'm saving money." Boss He looked self-conscious and carried the suitcase to the bedroom.
Xu Chengyan followed behind, and then he saw Boss He sorting out the suitcase and putting all the clothes in the wardrobe.
There were already quite a few clothes hanging in the wardrobe, and now He Yang had hung his own clothes in there as well.
The clothes that He Yang had brought with him were basically all suits, with white shirts hanging neatly in them.
Xu Chengyan looked at them and casually asked, "Bringing so many suits?"
He Yang said indifferently, "I'm used to it."
Xu Chengyan recalled, suddenly realising that since he had known He Yang, He Yang had always worn suits and rarely saw him wearing other clothes.
He Yang's style had never changed, it was still the same as before.
Xu Chengyang leaned against the wardrobe, took out his phone again and started swiping through Weibo.
As he swiped, a message suddenly popped up on the homepage...
【Gu Nian: Autumn at Eighteen】
Xu Chengyan looked at the pictures and found that they were all in the style of white shirts and glasses.
When Xu Chengyan looked at the photos, he suddenly remembered the time when he was in college.
"He Yang." Xu Chengyan raised his head and asked again, "Do you think the old me or the current me is better?"
He Yang had already put his clothes away and looked over.
Instead of answering the question, He Yang asked, "Then do you think that it was the old me that was better, or the current me?"
Xu Chengyan subconsciously replied, "Is there a difference?"
"There is." He Yang walked over, "I wasn't good to you before and my attitude was poor."
Xu Chengyan slightly lowered his head, "I'm not good to you now either."
"It's not the same." He Yang stretched out his hand, touching the side of the youth's face and rubbing it, "It's always been good."
Xu Chengyan didn't say anything.
Four years had passed and he was already different from before.
Sometimes he felt that those five years were painful, begging for more than he could get.
But sometimes it felt like those five years were happy and satisfying—
That wholehearted, defiant love for someone was all he remembered.
He Yang lowered his head and gently touched the youth's eyes, "Don't think too much."
Xu Chengyan casually responded and added, "I'll go take a shower first."
He Yang also let go of his hand and walked towards the living room.
Xu Chengyan grabbed his clothes from the wardrobe and went to the bathroom to take a shower first.
He Yang stayed in the living room and listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
After a long time, the sound of the water stopped and the sound of the hair dryer came again.
Only when the sound of the hairdryer stopped, there was no movement in the bathroom.
He Yang waited patiently on the sofa, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw that Xu Chengyan was still in the bathroom and had not come out.
He Yang got up and walked over, knocked on the bathroom door and shouted, "Yanyan?"
No one answered in the bathroom.
He Yang frowned slightly, put his hand on the door handle, found the door unlocked, and pushed it open directly.
Only when He Yang looked up, he saw the youth in the bathroom wearing a loose white shirt with nothing on underneath.
The youth's hair was still a little damp and he was wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses as he stood in front of the mirror.
And the youth also noticed He Yang in the bathroom doorway, a smile on his face as he looked back at the man.
"Do you like it, sir?"
The youth's voice was gentle, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved.
He Yang's footsteps stopped and froze in place—
The youth in front of him was as if he had returned to the age of eighteen.
It was the one, Xu Chengyan, who still liked him.
