Golden Boy

Su Pei's anxious scolding made both sides quiet for a while.

Su Pei immediately regretted it.

There are only a handful of times he has congratulated Yiming so fiercely, and only when the two of them really quarreled and got angry would they stand up.But today when He Yiming came to take good care of him, he lost his composure.

He braced himself to sort out his emotions, and said again slowly, "It's not a big deal. Let it go."

He Yiming asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Su Pei said, "No."

He doesn't know how to deal with He Yiming now.

"What happened?" He Yiming asked.His voice was lifeless, on the contrary there was a steady calm.It's the kind of calm that makes people feel at ease.

But Su Pei could already feel the waves behind that calmness.

He also kept his emotions in check, saying "It's fine. It's just a little uncomfortable. I want to rest early."

He Yiming said, "I'll come and see you."

What Su Pei can't bear now is He Yiming's kindness to him.

He originally wanted to tell He Yiming not to come, but when the words came to his lips, he said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

He Yiming came, and he happened to be able to talk to He Yiming.

After four or ten minutes, He Yiming rushed over.

His feet haven't fully healed yet, but he's able to walk as long as he avoids strenuous exercise.

Su Pei opened the door for him.He was wrapped in a blanket and was really uncomfortable.As soon as He Yiming came in, Su Pei said weakly, "You sit down by yourself, I'm going to lie down for a while."

He didn't know whether he was shocked too much today, or he was infected in the crowded subway area of ​​the hospital. He didn't feel very comfortable after he came back, and now he has a little fever.

He Yiming saw a bowl of noodles on the dining table, and he didn't seem to move much.And the hospital bag with bottles of medicine in it.

"Did you go to the hospital for a follow-up visit today?" He Yiming asked.

He cleaned up the table and poured a cup of hot water.

Su Pei was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.He Yiming could see it under the light, Su Pei's cheekbones were a little flushed, and his breathing was a little short, as if he had a fever.

"Su Pei, is your heart hurting?" He Yiming really started to worry. Su Pei has a heart problem. If the high fever doesn't subside, it will be very difficult. He has to go to the hospital immediately.

Su Pei closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I just came back from the hospital this afternoon... Maybe I caught a cold."

He Yiming stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and tested the temperature.Su Pei suddenly opened his eyes and met He Yiming's eyes.

"It should be a low-grade fever." He Yiming said calmly.

Su Pei said, "The thermometer is in the drawer under the TV cabinet."

He Yiming found the thermometer and said, "I will accompany you tonight, and I will leave after your fever subsides."

Su Pei knew that tonight was bound to be a long night.He never thought that it would be so difficult to spend a night in the same room with He Yiming, and it would be too difficult to get through without cigarettes and alcohol.

Although he had a fever, his mind was clear.He even had an illusion that his spirit became light when his body was heavy, and he could even break free from this body.

He Yiming bit Su Pei's ear with an ear thermometer.

"37 degrees 8."

"You're always like this," Su Pei'an said quietly, "You take care of me too much."

Although He Yiming and Su Pei have never been a couple for a day, their tacit understanding is not comparable to ordinary couples.He knew that Su Pei was abnormal today.Although he is still not sure why, Su Pei must be hiding some thoughts today.

He Yiming responded lightly, "Because you have the ability to mess yourself up without any mistakes. If you let you go, who knows how far you can mess yourself up. Don't thank me."

Su Pei smiled and coughed.He said, "You want to say, you have taken care of me so much, I was not polite at all before, how do you know how to be grateful today?"

He Yiming said, "I didn't mean that."

He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, opened the refrigerator, and said, "It seems that you have hardly moved for dinner. Let me make you a lighter soup, and you will feel better after drinking it."

Su Pei thought, this is He Yiming's dedication to him, and it is also "cannibalizing" him.In the past ten years, he has gotten used to He Yiming's presence. No matter how they quarrel or have any conflicts, he is sure that He Yiming will always be there and be his friend forever.

He Yiming invaded his life little by little, and slowly devoured his sense of boundaries.

How close can two best friends seem weird?What words should not be said even between good friends?Is there no limit to relying on good friends?

These problems gradually disappeared between him and He Yiming.It seems that everything can be explained by using the three words "He Yiming".Because he is He Yiming, everything is taken for granted.

Now Su Pei knows that this is wrong.

"Don't be too busy, I can't eat." Su Pei said.

He Yiming didn't listen to him, so he made a call with his mobile phone and ordered fresh food to be delivered to his door.

Su Pei sat up slowly and said, "Xiaohe, don't be busy. Let's have a chat."

He said it seriously.

He Yiming has the intuition of a wild animal. He feels that what Su Pei wants to say now will not be what he would like to hear.But he still sat in front of Su Pei.He has the self-confidence to grasp the situation.

Facing He Yiming's gaze, Su Pei couldn't ask directly, "Do you like me?"

Because he couldn't think that he and He Yiming could continue after this question was brought to light.

But He Yiming is so smart, maybe he doesn't need to point it out.

At the moment of his hesitation, He Yiming had already made a preemptive strike.

"What are you going to do about the turmoil on the Internet? Just let people slander you like this? Throw the cauldron of the broken script on you?"

He knows how to dominate the conversation.

Su Pei knew that he had missed the opportunity, but this was indeed a problem he had to face.

He said, "I thought about it. I will write an article to defend myself, and then let Xiaoyan post it. She wants to be a marketing account, and she just needs a topic. It just happens to be a series of articles on the theme of screenwriting, so that the public can pay attention to it." The screenwriter's question. It's not about who blames who, but about the current industry phenomenon."

Fuck his master's industry phenomenon.He Yiming didn't care about the status quo of the industry at all, he only cared about Su Pei.He quickly thought about Su Pei's abnormality in his mind, and what Su Pei wanted to say.

Su Pei went on to say, "What do you think? This can occupy a high point and distract the audience's attention. Besides, I think they have something to find someone to scold. After a few days, there will be other news in the entertainment industry. Or after the show is over, no one will mention it again."

He Yiming rubbed his fingers and said, "That's fine, deal with it in your own way. But why did you let Xiaoyan post? Wouldn't it be better to find a big V with more traffic?"

Su Pei said, "It's not easy for her to start. And she has potential, I can't be wrong."

He Yiming said sourly, "Yes, your eyesight is very accurate. Then I look forward to her explosion."

Su Pei couldn't help smiling, and then he stopped smiling immediately.

He shouldn't enjoy every moment with He Yiming too much.This kind of small chat was the happiest time for them, just like before.But it's different now.

He shouldn't trip He Yiming anymore.He himself should be freed from this abnormal dependence.

He Yiming had already dragged the computer and said, "Anyway, you have to rest now. How about this, you dictate, and I will write this article for you, don't waste time."

Su Pei was led by him again, so he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay."

He still wasn't determined to cut to the chase.

He still longed for this moment of peace.

The two of them cooperated tacitly.They used to write scripts together when they were in the drama club. After so many years, writing an article together is still effortless.

He Yiming had just finished polishing the article when the Fresh Express arrived.He put down the computer, sorted out the ingredients, and prepared to make soup for Su Pei.

"Don't say you don't want to eat it. In fact, I came here directly from the company and haven't had dinner yet. You don't want to eat it, but you can't stop me from wanting to eat it?" He Yiming said.

Su Pei was speechless now.He Yiming made a pot of soup with broccoli, mushrooms, dragon fish, and eggs. He chopped the broccoli and sliced ​​the mushrooms. The fish was very delicious and refreshing.

He Yiming served Su Pei a bowl of soup with some rice.Su Pei didn't eat, but finished the soup.

After eating, Su Pei took his temperature again.The temperature has dropped a bit from before.

"It should be fine in a while," Su Pei said, "I feel much better."

He Yiming was still sitting beside him, "Don't be careless. If your temperature is high, I have to send you to the hospital right away."

Su Pei said, "Actually, in addition to seeing my heart, I also went to see a psychiatrist recently."

He Yiming frowned and asked, "How is it?"

Su Pei relaxed a little, and said, "My doctor is not bad, he is very kind, and he helped me a lot. He helped me sort out a lot of things."

He could finally speak.

He Yiming looked at him, "I don't think I'd like to hear what you're going to say next."

He seemed incredibly candid.

Su Pei thought, if He Yiming was really frank, what would they be like?Will they be friends for so many years?

"The psychiatrist advised me to let go of the failed relationship and not get entangled. In fact, I have already let go of the relationship with Shen Lan... There is really nothing to tangle with." Su Pei's voice was calm.

He Yiming listened, "What else?"

He knew the point was below.

Su Pei said, "Then I can also establish new emotional connections..."

He Yiming immediately understood what this sentence meant.

"Building a new relationship" equals "getting a new girlfriend."

"Is this a doctor's suggestion?" He Yiming asked, "Which doctor did you find?"

He couldn't contain the sarcasm in his tone.

Su Pei avoided his question, and he went on to say, "I trust this doctor very much, and I have talked to him a lot. Career, family, friends, all of them. Of course including you."

If He Yiming had thorns on his back, they must all stand up at this moment.

Su Pei thought, he really shouldn't drink that bowl of soup, now he feels like throwing up.

"The doctor said, my dependence on you is not healthy. The relationship between friends can't replace love. I know that I have always regarded you as a good friend, but because my career is not going well and I divorced Shen Lan, so I hold on to my friendship even more. , so it puts too much weight on you psychologically. But this is wrong and unhealthy, because we all need our own space, and only when we develop well in our own independent space can we be truly healthy. Friendship can’t replace Love, love is no substitute for friendship."

He finished in one breath.

He Yiming's first reaction was that he knew.No matter how Su Pei knew, he already knew.

But He Yiming immediately denied this idea that flashed like lightning in his heart.

He thought, Su Pei was just lonely for a long time and wanted to fall in love again, so he used a psychiatrist as a cover.

It must be so, it must be so.

Because if Su Pei knew about it and said such things, it would mean that his biggest nightmare in the past ten years had become a reality.

He Yiming could still maintain his calm, he said, "Then who do you want to find? Xiaoyan?"

Su Pei saw his reaction, he didn't want to talk anymore.

He wasn't sure if his words would cause more trauma.

He Yiming slowly showed a smile, "If you want to sleep, she will go to sleep. Did I hinder you? Didn't give you enough space? I told you before, you don't believe my judgment on Shen Lan. Now you don't either Trust my judgment on Xiaoyan. That’s up to you. Anyway, I won’t be the one who gets hurt in the end.”

Su Pei couldn't speak anymore.He knew that He Yiming pointed the contradiction at Xiaoyan because he was unwilling to face up to the problem - "their friendship is not healthy".

He didn't know whether he was lost, sad, or escaped.

They didn't talk about it for the rest of the evening.

In the middle of the night, Su Pei lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.His fever went away.He Yiming put on his coat and was about to leave, he went to the bedroom to look at Su Pei again.

Su Pei breathed evenly, but still frowned slightly in his sleep.

He Yiming stared at his face, he couldn't get enough of it.

Su Pei suddenly said vaguely, "I'm sorry..."

He was talking in his sleep.

He Yiming leaned over and heard more clearly.

"Xiaohe...I'm sorry..." Su Pei murmured sorry several times, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

He Yiming's heart was shocked, he slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the corner of Su Pei's eyes.
