No one spoke any more on the rest of the road, and there was only soft light music and buzzing vibrations in the car. Later, the vibrations disappeared, and Liang Sizhe turned off his cell phone.

The car stopped at the hotel door. Cao Ye glanced at Cao Yuning in the back row and asked Liang Sizhe casually: "Is the hotel full?"

"You ask me if the hotel is full..." Liang Sizhe laughed, "Do you want to live here?"

"It's so late, I'm too lazy to drive back," Cao Ye untied his seat belt, "I'll go to the front desk to ask."

"Get your cousin over together," said Liang Sizhe. "I live in a suite. If I don't have a room, I will free up a bedroom for you."

"One room is not enough," Cao Ye frowned, "I may not be able to sleep with him." He was used to watching all kinds of boring movies, especially the kind that Lin Yan invited him to watch tonight. When fighting, it was boring and endless. With the 360-degree surround sound effect, he would definitely fall asleep quickly. If he slept with Cao Yuning, he was not sure if he could fall asleep tonight.

"Then do you sleep with me?" Liang Sizhe looked at him with a smile and joked, "Did you sleep well when you slept with me before?" Seeing Cao Ye looking up at him, Liang Sizhe explained, "Just, you can have extra beds in the living room. Are you planning to drive to find another hotel so late?"

Cao Ye did not respond immediately, but he thought Liang Sizhe was quite reasonable. He really didn't want to drive a drunkard around looking for a hotel because he was so late. Moreover, when he booked the hotel, it was said that the crew ordered the highest-level one in the radius of ten kilometers around the shooting site. This place was in a wilderness, and maybe there was no other star-rated hotel.

"Okay, go and have a look first." Cao Ye pushed open the car door and got out of the car, moved Cao Yuning out. Liang Sizhe helped him close the car door. When he turned his head, he saw Song Qingyan not far away.

Song Qingyan was squatting at the hotel door with a frown, looking at the road not far away. When she saw Liang Sizhe getting out of the car, she immediately became energetic and almost jumped up.

Song Qingyan felt that she had encountered the biggest career crisis in her life. She squatted here and waited all night with her cell phone, thinking that if Liang Sizhe took Cao Yu and never returned home at night, and when the report came out tomorrow, she would not stop Liang Sizhe. At that time, Sister Yun Chu would ask her, and she might be fired directly. The consequences would be unimaginable...

After a night of fear, I saw Liang Sizhe getting out of the car, followed by... Mr. Cao?! Song Qingyan was almost crying with joy as if he had been amnesty.

"Why are you squatting here?" Liang Sizhe raised his legs and stepped up the steps, looked up at her, "Where are you waiting for me?"

Song Qingyan stood on the steps and nodded quickly: "Brother Sizhe, you are back! Mr. Cao is here too? Oh, it's so great!"

Liang Sizhe looked at her with a funny look: "What's the good thing?"

"Ah, nothing, I'll be happy when I see you and Mr. Cao!" Song Qingyan thought to himself that it was good that Mr. Cao came over. If Liang Sizhe brought the drunk Cao Yuning back to the hotel, then this scene would be her Lingchi scene...

"Go and ask if there are any suites in the hotel," said Liang Sizhe.

"Get order!" Song Qingyan ran and jumped to the front desk, and soon ran back, "Brother Sizhe, there is still a suite left!"

"Okay, thank you." Cao Ye put Cao Yuning on the sofa in the hotel lobby and went to the front desk to check in.

When checking in, the hotel waiter came over and helped get Cao Yuning into the room in advance. When Cao Ye finished the procedures, Cao Yuning had been brought upstairs by the waiter.

The three of them took the same elevator. Song Qingyan stood beside Liang Sizhe, frowned and sniffed twice, raised his head and asked Liang Sizhe in a low voice: "Brother Sizhe, are you smoking again?"

"Smell it out?"

"It seems like I've been drinking?"

"The dog's nose is so good."

"I said I had poor eyesight but my sense of smell was very good," Song Qingyan raised his hand and pushed the frame glasses, took out his phone to flip the memo, "I'll do it. You quit drinking for two and a half months, and quit smoking for three and twenty-three days. Wow, the record-breaking results of quitting smoking have broken."

Cao Ye stood beside him listening to their conversation, and looked at Liang Sizhe with some surprise: "Stop smoking and drinking, are you really here?"

Liang Sizhe smiled: "Do you think I lied to you?"

Cao Ye didn't say anything, thinking to himself that I really thought you wouldn't have the truth in your mouth.

"I don't remember lying to you," Liang Sizhe said again.

Song Qingyan buried his head in making records on his mobile phone while muttering: "The seventh time quit drinking, the ninth time quit smoking..."

"You have arrived at the elevator." Liang Sizhe reminded her.

"Oh!" Song Qingyan looked up, the elevator door opened, and before she stepped out, she said, "Happy birthday to Brother Sizhe, I'll give you a gift tomorrow! Good night, Mr. Cao!" After the words fell, the elevator door closed.

"Why did you think of quitting smoking and drinking?" Cao Ye asked, and after asking, he felt in vain. Liang Sizhe replied with two words - "Guess".

But this time he guessed wrong. Liang Sizhe didn't say that, but just said in a plain tone: "If you want to quit, just quit."

All the hotel suites were arranged on the twenty-floor floor. It was already dark, and the row of doors passed by were closed, and the corridor was empty and silent.

The atmosphere of side by side was too familiar, which made Cao Ye involuntarily think that they were like this ten years ago. They passed one closed door after another, walked to the end of the aisle, and then pushed open the innermost door.

However, the corridor at that time was dark and deserted, with only the sparse chandeliers above the head, but now the corridor is brightly lit.

Cao Ye thought that if Liang Sizhe asked him for another birthday wish, then give it to him. Liang Sizhe would not miss this happy birthday, and he would not have to give this blessing.

"My room has arrived," Liang Sizhe spoke, reached out to signal the direction of his room, interrupting Cao Ye's thoughts.

"Oh," Cao Ye looked up at his door, "Good night."

"Good night." Liang Sizhe walked to the door of his room, took out the room card and approached the door lock, and the door lock made a "drip" sound.

Cao Ye continued to walk forward, his room was still in front. After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned around.

Liang Sizhe held the door handle and was about to push the door into the room when he heard Cao Ye calling his name behind him, "Liang Sizhe."

He turned to look at Cao Ye.

Cao Ye stood five or six meters away from him, and the warm yellow light reflected on his face, making him look exactly the same as the gentle and handsome boy in Liang Sizhe's memory.

"Happy birthday." The shadows of the boy and the young man overlapped and intertwined, and Cao Ye stood under the light and looked at him and said.

Liang Sizhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled after a moment, shook his head and said, "Cao Ye, you are so soft-hearted..." He is soft-hearted and cute, do you know what you think... He looked at Cao Ye and didn't say the whole thing.

"Thank you." He said. It would be easy for me to succeed, and you really gave in to me.

After Cao Ye said this, "Happy Birthday", he turned around and left. The "Thank you" was left behind by him. He did not look back at Liang Sizhe, and walked straight to the door of the room, opened the door with the room card, and pushed the door open and walked in.

When the door closed, Liang Sizhe withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and smiled, and pushed the door into the room.

——

The waiter placed Cao Yuning in the second bedroom. When he saw Cao Ye coming in, he asked him if this arrangement was correct. Cao Ye walked to the inner room and took a look. Cao Yuning lay on his back on the bed, sleeping unconsciously.

Cao Yuning was actually gay? Cao Ye looked at Cao Yuning on the bed in a complicated mood. Perhaps when he was having dinner with Lin Yan before, Lin Yan accidentally joked about him as "homophobia" at the dinner table. Cao Yuning took it seriously and never told him.

It would be fine if it was gay, but he would actually want to sleep with Liang Sizhe... Cao Ye looked at the sleeping Cao Yuning and planned to wait for him to wake up and have a good talk with him, although he had not yet decided what to talk to Cao Yuning.

Just as he was about to turn back to the room, the door of the room was knocked. Cao Ye walked over and opened the door and saw Liang Sizhe's assistant Song Qingyan standing at the door.

"Is there something wrong?"

Song Qingyan handed him the medicine box in his hand: "Mr. Cao, Brother Sizhe asked me to give me a hangover powder."

"Oh, thank you," Cao Ye took it and looked down: "I just bought it?"

"No," Song Qingyan explained, "I prepared it before coming to the crew in case of emergency."

“It was thoughtful.”

"I am an assistant." Song Qingyan said with a smile.

After closing the door, Cao Ye pushed open the door of Cao Yuning's room with the hangover powder: "Cao Yuning."

Cao Yuning slept with his back to the sky without any response.

"Do you want to drink the anti-alcohol powder?" Cao Ye asked again.

But it was in vain to ask. Cao Yuning turned over and ignored his words. Cao Ye walked over and put the wine-quitting powder on his bedside table, and then walked out of the bedroom.

After taking a shower, Cao Ye leaned on the sofa in the living room and recalled the movie he watched at Lin Yan's company tonight. Although he fell asleep intermittently, he did not miss the rough plot turning point.

He sorted out his experience of watching tonight and post-adjustment opinions on his mobile phone to Lin Yan. Lin Yan was not asleep yet, and soon replied to him after receiving the message: "I still remember my brother so late, how are you doing with Liang Sizhe? I still haven't fallen asleep after I finish sleeping?"

Cao Ye only took a look at the message, then immediately pressed the few suggestions he had just sent on the screen with his thumb, and clicked on the message to withdraw it.

Lin Yan: “…”

Cao Ye threw his phone aside, walked to the door and turned off the ceiling light in the living room, then picked up the remote control and turned on the projector. He was not used to using the hotel equipment. He casually flipped out a Hollywood routine of monster-killing movie, leaned on the back of the sofa chair, and looked at the screen absent-mindedly.

The phone that was on the side was shaken every once in a while. It was probably because Lin Yan realized that he was ungrateful and was trying every means to make up for it.

But Cao Ye ignored it. Although he knew that Lin Yan's joke was not malicious, he occasionally felt a little bored.

The phone shook again, and Cao Ye suddenly thought that Liang Sizhe's phone was buzzing and buzzing in the car just now - how could his birthday be so deserted? It was obviously very lively a few years ago...

Maybe it was because I had been driving for too long at night and was a little tired. Before the film could enter the main line of the fight, Cao Ye leaned against the sofa and went to sleep.

After sleeping in a daze for a while, a "Oh" sound came from his ear. When he opened his eyes, he saw Cao Yuning standing in front of the master bedroom door. The film on the projection wall had been broadcast, and he stayed at the last "replay" interface. With the dim light on the screen, Cao Ye squinted his eyes and barely saw Cao Yuning standing there, raising his hand and rubbing his forehead.

"Cao Yuning?" Cao Ye rubbed his eyes, his throat became hoarse. He forced himself to stand up from the sofa, "Where are you sleepwalking?"

"Brother Sizhe?" Cao Yuning turned his face and looked at him sleepily.

"..." Cao Ye frowned slightly, "Are you stupid? Cao Yuning?"

"...Brother? Where is this..." Cao Yuning looked confused, "Where is the toilet?"

"I don't know if you've been sold?" Cao Ye grabbed his shoulder and brought it to the side, "It's OK."

Fortunately, Cao Yuning is more worry-free than him back then. After he solved the problem, he walked out of the bathroom and looked at Cao Ye with great trouble and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"

Cao Ye leaned against the wall and waited for him to come out, grabbed him with his eyes closed and stuffed him into the bedroom: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Oh," Cao Yuning staggered onto the bed, "It's so dizzy..."

Cao Ye helped him close the door, walked back to the living room by himself, picked up the remote control and turned off the projector. When he bent down and put the remote control back on the coffee table, he scanned the phone next to him, picked it up and turned on the screen and took it. Lin Yan sent a message from the entire screen:

"Don't withdraw, Ye Zi, I haven't had time to see it yet!"

"Send it again quickly, I'm worried."

"Brother is wrong. I'm OK if I won't joke about you in the future, right?"

"Brother, you are my brother, please post it again!"

"Are you asleep? Remember to send me when you wake up!"

While walking towards the bedroom, Cao Ye lowered his head and took out the post-production suggestions he had written from the phone memo and sent them again to Lin Yan. After sending them, he threw his phone on the bed, sat down at the edge of the bed, took off his bathrobe with his eyes closed, and then lifted the quilt and lay on the bed.

When I fell asleep, I vaguely noticed that it seemed to be raining outside. The raindrops hit the window, making a slight clicking sound. So I fell asleep. The last scene in my mind was the cloud I saw in Qingwei’s backyard a few hours ago. Is that cloud floating over now? Otherwise, why would it suddenly rain? When I was half asleep and half awake, Cao Ye vaguely thought of Liang Sizhe standing under the cloud smoking.

Then he thought of the scene many years ago. Two people who had not seen each other for a long time were sitting on wooden chairs on the street. He lit a cigarette with a lighter. After taking a few sips, Liang Sizhe reached out and took away the cigarette between his fingers. He took two sips by himself. "How old are you, just smoke?" Liang Sizhe bent down and pressed the half-burned cigarette to the ground and squeezed it out. "When did it start?"

Don’t think about it, Cao Ye said to himself in his mind, go to bed.
