MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 36

It was an exciting day.

Tao Xiaodong came to Tang Suoyan's place early in the morning, and the things he experienced for a long time were quite challenging. The afternoon passed fairly peacefully. Tang Suoyan played a movie, and the two of them watched it together. After watching it, they felt a little drowsy.

After that, they each lay down on one side of the sofa, Tao Xiaodong on the other side of the reclining chair, Tang Suoyan on the side of the long sofa, and fell asleep for a while. Tang Suoyan was too tired during this period, lacked sleep, and slept soundly.

Tao Xiaodong woke up once in the middle, and stretched out his hand to close the floor-to-ceiling curtain to block some light from Tang Suoyan.

It's not easy for them to spend time together doing nothing like this, as both of them are busy, this kind of time can only be had on a good weekend. Except for the day when Tao Xiaodong drank wine on Tang Suoyan's birthday, there has never been such a peaceful day together.

Staying like this is very close to the relationship. You stay with him all day without even changing your clothes. What you see is the original appearance of this person. What is he like at home, what is he like when he sleeps, this is such a person, you will understand after seeing it.

Tang Suoyan intended Tao Xiaodong to see him and understand his life.

Now that Tao Xiaodong has come into contact with, he is getting closer and closer to the real him, which is still far from Tang Suoyan when the two of them were doing activities together. Although Tang Suoyan is gentle in the eyes of unfamiliar people, he also has a distance. Now that the distance is gone, Tao Xiaodong can touch his face with his hand.

Tang Suoyan woke up and the sky was a little bit dark, and it was also dark early in winter, so it was even darker when the floor curtain was covered. Tao Xiaodong sat on the sofa with one leg bent, looking at his mobile phone and chatting with others.

Tang Suoyan squinted at the small electronic watch on the coffee table and made a sound.

"Are you awake?" Tao Xiaodong looked over and smiled at him.

Tang Suo said "Yes", closed his eyes again, and lay there to wake up.

I lay down for ten minutes, half asleep and half awake. Tao Xiaodong has been talking to people, tapping his fingers on the screen.

There was a program director who asked Lao Mao to find Tao Xiaodong before, and wanted to do a variety show related to tattoos, and wanted a few regular judges. You have no status in this kind of program, who will listen to you if you sit there and comment. Tao Xiaodong pushed this show, and the niche circle moved it to the mass media and used it as a variety show. In his opinion, it was a joke. Whether the program is produced or not, it is not a good thing. If it's cool, and the audience sees what it is, can it be used on the show? An industry that is already prejudiced will only be more trampled. If it really works, what is your orientation? Now that children are not short of money, their ideas are right. After watching the show, they get a tattoo and follow the trend. They don’t even think about the consequences. After getting a tattoo on their body, some industries will directly accept it. You close the door.

Tao Xiaodong immediately rejected the plan after reading it, no matter how much the signing fee was, he didn't intend to go.

It was an old friend of Tao Xiaodong who sent a message to him today. He took the job and originally wanted to go out and advertise for himself, but recently something happened at home and life was messed up, so he really didn't have the energy to do it. But I have already agreed to it before, and the contract has been signed, and the show is about to start recording. If you just withdraw now, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

The first thing this friend thought of was Tao Xiaodong. If he could replace him, there would be nothing wrong with the program team. Tao Xiaodong has the status and ability to be praised, and he is qualified to be a judge, and it is enough to replace him.

Normally, Tao Xiaodong could help with trivial matters, but it was really a matter of asking, and Tao Xiaodong couldn't possibly look at it. But he really doesn't want to do this. He is indeed not a low-key person in this line of business, and he can stand out, but he doesn't take all the work on himself. Tao Xiaodong mentioned a few people and asked him to ask.

The other party said: "Those directors have already asked, but they didn't come out at all, and they didn't like it."

Tao Xiaodong didn't like it either, the money he gave sounded like a lot, but to them, it was actually just a matter of three or two big plans, and it wasn't worth accepting this for that little money. Those who want to go are not rushing for money, they are all for fame.

At the end of the chat, Tao Xiaodong said: I will help you think about it.

The other party said: I have thought about everything I can think of. When I signed the contract, I didn't think too much about it. The liquidated damages will be tripled, or I will just pay the compensation, and I won't tell you about it.

Tao Xiaodong said a few more words to him and put down the phone.

"Sleeping again?" He asked in Tang Suoyan's direction, and he remained silent for a long time.

Tang Suoyan closed his eyes and said "no", not intending to get up.

It was the same in the morning, and it is also the same now. Tao Xiaodong looked at him, and smiled after a few minutes: "I suddenly found that you are a bit sleepy."

"It's like this when you lack sleep." Tang Suoyan told him.

"I really think you are a superman. You come back in the middle of the night and start at four or five o'clock, which can last for many days." Tao Xiaodong recalled that when they went out together for the first time, they could barely see others.

"I don't feel tired when I'm busy," Tang Suoyan said with his eyes closed. "I keep holding my breath, and I don't feel tired if I can't relax. It will take a few days to recover if I relax."

Tao Xiaodong let him lie down for a while, then moved over and said, "I'm telling you something."

Tang Suoyan opened his eyes and looked at him: "Speak."

"I may have to visit next week." Tao Xiaodong said, "help a friend save the day."

"Where are you going?" Tang Suoyan asked.

Tao Xiaodong mentioned a place, and Tang Suoyan asked how long it would take. Tao Xiaodong said he didn't know yet, and it would probably take more than ten days.

Tang Suoyan blinked, sat up, and said, "Go, pay attention to safety, and rest more."

Tao Xiaodong moved to this side again, and sat next to Tang Suoyan. The two of them didn't have much time to rest. Tao Xiaodong actually put off a lot of things this year, so he only worked in the store and set aside time for it. But it's still very busy, and I don't know what to take up the time.

Tang Suoyan had just finished the annual meeting, and it lasted two weeks and nearly three weeks. He can relax a bit after finishing work, and Tao Xiaodong is leaving again.

It seems particularly difficult for these two to get together.

Tang Suoyan made dinner, neither of them was very hungry, and cooked noodles with the soup base left over at noon.

Tao Xiaodong turned around behind him and said, "You take less, I'm not too hungry."

Tang Suo said yes.

After dinner, I sat for a while, and it was almost eight o'clock.

Tao Xiaodong stood up and said, "I change clothes, I have to go back."

Tang Suoyan raised his hand and grabbed him.

Tao Xiaodong looked at him, and Tang Suoyan asked, "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Come." Tao Xiaodong replied.

Tang Suoyan stopped talking and didn't let go, just looked at him. Both of them looked at each other, you blinked once, and I blinked slowly again. Tao Xiaodong moved his fingers and asked tentatively, "I...wait a little longer?"

Tang Suoyan didn't answer well, just said: "I remember before you said that you would accompany me after I was busy."

"I'm here," Tao Xiaodong sat down again, Tang Suoyan let go of his wrist, "Aren't I here to accompany you?"

"Aren't you leaving next week?" Tang Suoyan asked him.

Tao Xiaodong thought about it for two seconds, his brain was enough, he stroked Tang Suoyan's words, and asked in a low voice: "Then... Anyway, I have to come tomorrow morning, or should I... don't go?"

Tang Suo said: "Yes."

Tao Xiaodong really didn't think about it that way, he didn't think about anything dirty when he came, he just came with breakfast. After coming here, the rapid progress of the day has always been beyond his expectations.

It seemed that Tang Suoyan was carrying a bag of small firecrackers and blasting one at him every once in a while.

"But I didn't think about it..." After Tao Xiaodong finished speaking, he was still a little worried that according to today's rapid development, he would lose control at night. Although Tang Suoyan felt that Tang Suoyan was not such a person, he still said: "I didn't think about anything else, where should I sleep at night?"

As soon as he said that, Tang Suoyan laughed, and pointed to the direction of the guest bedroom: "Wash the things in your mind by yourself."

"What am I washing!" Tao Xiaodong said quickly, "It's clean."

Tang Suoyan glanced at the pillow next to him, which was the one that Tao Xiaodong put in his arms in the morning. He didn't need to say anything, he lost his eyes just by glancing at Tao Xiaodong, and turned away with a smile.

Tang Suoyan asked him to stay. First, Tao Xiaodong had to come tomorrow morning, so there was really no need to make a fuss. In addition, he wanted to leave some time for a chat. It was supposed to be chatting in the afternoon, but I fell asleep at that point in the afternoon.

Tang Suoyan spread a carpet on the balcony, moved the tea table over, and took two square mats, one for each side.

Tao Xiaodong was wearing short sleeves, and the balcony was not as warm as indoors, so Tang Suoyan brought him a coat.

From the moment they met, they hardly had a good chat. The longest time was on the terrace in Gansu, where we chatted for three hours. First let's talk about Tao Xiaodong and his younger brother, and then talk about Tangning. At that time, everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak so clearly, they all held it. There was no chance and no time after that.

Now they are both like this, hugged and cuddled, no matter how vague it is, it is not the case, it is really time to talk.

"We'll be walking for more than ten days next week, why don't you give me some time?" Tang Suoyan sat there and asked.

"Stay." Tao Xiaodong smiled and nodded.

Tao Xiaodong leaned against the glass door at the back and looked outside. The moon could not be seen, and the lights in every house in the opposite building were on. The glass is reflective and can reflect the room clearly. The reflected image was just as real, warmed by the night outside.

Warm lights, a small tea table, and two people on the left and right.

Tao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I really like your place."

Tang Suoyan said: "Just like it."

"Actually, I'm still a little unreal now. I've never thought about staying with you at night." Tao Xiaodong hasn't told Tao Huainan that he won't be going back at night. If he wants to tell him, the little fox will have to make up for it. play.

Tang Suoyan also leaned against him, and laughed in a low voice: "You seem to be doing something when you say that."

"It's enough to live alone," Tao Xiaodong recalled carefully, and said honestly, "I haven't spent the night at someone's house for a long time."

"Not used to it?" Tang Suoyan looked at him.

"It's not that I'm not used to it," Tao Xiaodong took a sip of tea, "It's just that I haven't thought about it yet, I'm afraid you will think it soon."

Now that he's said this, Tang Suoyan followed his words and continued: "I really didn't plan to go so soon before."

Tao Xiaodong knew that the two of them had always had a tacit understanding on this matter.

Tang Suoyan has a purple sand pot here, which was given to him by his father. This is what he uses to make tea today, and it is suitable for tossing slowly when chatting.

"I don't know if you're trying to circle me on purpose or not." Tang Suoyan shook his head mockingly, "Anyway, as I told you, I can't bear it anyway."

Tao Xiaodong just smiled and drank tea quietly.

"So just go with the flow, whether it's fast or slow," Tang Suoyan said, "just follow your heart."

Only at this age, with a lot of things on my shoulders, do I realize how extravagant the word "follow one's heart" is. Compared with others, Tao Xiaodong seems to be more free-wheeling, and there are no restrictions on work or life attitude.

"I don't dare to follow my heart." Tao Xiaodong said this very directly, and he always spoke sincerely, "In the past, I really didn't dare. I have to be careful everywhere, because I have nothing. I am afraid of offending others. I dare not lose, because my brother and I have to live a good life, to live a good life."

Tao Xiaodong smiled: "Later, I got used to it. People always think about and solve problems in one way, so I'm used to it. So I don't know what it means to follow one's heart. I don't dare to do other things, and I don't dare to follow you."

Tang Suoyan poured tea for him again, and Tao Xiaodong continued, "I've really played tricks on you. I intentionally stuck with you, and I also intentionally hung you up. I've been scheming everywhere until today."

This was too frank, Tang Suoyan paused, then shook his head and smiled.

"You are so smart, you know everything." Tao Xiaodong smiled at him, "You can also see that I intend to circle you. I will tell you, I did. But I also said that I am true."

Tao Xiaodong tapped his heart with his right hand backhand: "The calculation is true, and everything else is also true."

"You don't have to be so sincere. You didn't say you were plotting against me. Don't use such words." Tang Suoyan could hardly listen to it anymore, the sincerity was so unbearable.

"Now tell me what you want, but to be honest, I don't know how to do it." Tao Xiaodong looked out the window and said, "I say what I want today, but when I wake up tomorrow morning, I still have to think about how to say something nicely and how to do things properly. I'm used to it. "

"I don't need it here." Tang Suoyan said softly.

"Especially with you." Tao Xiaodong lowered his head, tugged at his ears, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Other things don't matter to me now, but you can't."

Tang Suoyan looked at him, Tao Xiaodong half-spoken, but did not continue.

Tang Suoyan wanted to hear him talk about himself today, and Tao Xiaodong was not stingy about talking about himself. This process of getting to know each other is very good, and if you say a few more words, you will get closer.

"I haven't talked about friends for a long time, and I can't remember when was the last time." Tao Xiaodong confessed with a smile, "When I was in my twenties, it didn't matter age, and it was easy to find at that time, but I was busy. After three years When I’m ten, I don’t like people who are younger than me anymore, I find it difficult to talk. So the more I go on, the more I can’t meet the right ones, and I can’t touch the older and stable ones.”

"It's so easy to meet one now." Tao Xiaodong glanced at Tang Suoyan, who was also looking at him, "On the contrary, I don't care about age and other conditions. It's fine, it's fine. Except I don't want to miss it. Didn't even think about it."

Tao Xiaodong always speaks the truth, and every sentence of this kind of truth burns people's hearts.

"I'm serious, this time I really... really want it. I can't take it seriously, so I'm playing tricks and so on. Brother Yan, don't care about me."

There was also honest emotion in his eyes. Tang Suoyan had heard him say something, but now he said: "Don't talk like that."

Who can suffer from him, he dares to say anything, he will say anything that matters.

Tang Suoyan stood up, turned around and entered the living room, smiled and said, "Let me cut a plate of fruit for you, I really can't stand you talking like that."

Adults are used to being euphemistic, turning their words around, and spreading their emotions through two layers. Tao Xiaodong just doesn't follow the usual routine. He sits in front of you and stares at you, saying that I have tricked you, and I hang you because I care too much about you and want you too much.

When Tang Suoyan cut the fruit, he still kept these few words in his ears, and the stamina was too strong.

When he went back, Tao Xiaodong changed his posture, sitting with his long legs bent and his shoulders slumped, quite casually.

Tang Suoyan handed him the fruit and said, "Don't tell me everything as soon as I chat with you, just like I want to interrogate you. Have a good chat and don't be so honest."

"Can't I be more honest?" Tao Xiaodong took the fruit, forked a piece of pineapple and ate it.

"If you want to talk like this, you won't be able to continue talking." Tang Suoyan said.

"You don't like to hear such talk?" Tao Xiaodong asked.

"I can't stand it whether I like it or not." Tang Suoyan forked an apple from the plate in his hand, and said, "If you say a few more words, and you want another one, I have to go and give it to you." Sliced ​​fruit."

Tao Xiaodong paused in chewing, then turned his face away, shrugged his shoulders and laughed twice.

"So you talk and chat well." Tang Suoyan said.

"Okay." Tao Xiaodong replied before turning his face back.

The author has something to say:

Dong: "I don't think about anything else."

Little sisters: No, you think about it.
