A Nameless Rain Chapter 4

Silas Zhong's call didn't last long. He hung up after a few minutes and came back to continue eating. This further proves that he and Ivy Nian actually have nothing major to talk about, they are just hiding from ridicule.

Breakfast is seafood porridge, siomai, steamed chicken feet, Cantonese style. Silas Zhong once made a movie related to food. He specializes in cooking Cantonese cuisine and his cooking skills are pretty good. But for Finn Xi, who grew up eating famous chefs since childhood, it is not worthy of praise. At best, it is not unpleasant to eat and is better than the taste.

With this intention, Finn Xi didn't care about the phone call. After finishing breakfast slowly, he entered the study.

Even if he doesn't go to the company, Finn Xi still has work to deal with. "A few days off" is just a casual term. The number of vacations in his life that he can truly relax and enjoy is not much more than that of Silas Zhong, who has to catch up with announcements all year round.

Two busy people, dating so infrequently that each one is worth marking on the calendar. When Silas Zhong came last time, the Christmas cactus on the window sill had not yet bloomed, but today it has bloomed brilliantly.

Silas Zhong had nothing to do, so he poured some water on it. It is said that this plant can live for twenty or thirty years. Maybe after Silas Zhong and Finn Xi part ways, it will still be blooming in front of the window.

In fact, a long time ago, Finn Xi considered whether to live with Silas Zhong.

No matter whether two people are in love or not, there will always be certain moments when their hormones are over the top and they fall in love with each other. Finn Xi once found Silas Zhong cute, especially when she was still awake in the early morning and cuddled up against him in a daze. He stretched out his hand to push, but Silas Zhong was unconscious and K!ssed him with his eyes closed.

Finn Xi allowed the other party to K!ss her for a while, then pushed her awake and asked on a whim, "Do you want to move here?"

Silas Zhong was stunned for a moment, he really woke up.

But before he could react, Finn Xi said in the next second: "Forget it, I'm not used to having one more person in the house."

...

Finn Xi thought about it alone and rejected it alone. It only lasted a few seconds. It was so short that it was impossible to guess what was going through his mind in those few seconds.

But the reason is true, he is not used to living with others.

This is also the reason why Finn Xi, now twenty-nine years old, still does not plan to get married.

Finn Xi is a strange person. He is a celibate, but he is not anti-marriage, not tired of having children, and he is not like other rich men who act recklessly in the name of freedom. But this does not mean that he is traditional. "Tradition" is nothing in his eyes. Similarly, "new trends" have no value and he doesn't care.

No matter what kind of ideological trend, new or old, people who believe in it are essentially following the herd, being coerced by the times and others, and becoming slaves of the collective will. Finn Xi hates all factors that affect his personal will. He is extremely self-centered and cannot tolerate a second person in his world.

Because of his ego, he respects himself and others, and he also respects the ego of others. Whether it is good or bad is subject to legal judgment, whether it is enlightened or pedantic, what does it have to do with him?

This almost indifferent logic of life is the root of his ruthlessness.

He did not have an unfortunate childhood, nor was he emotionally injured, nor did he suffer from mental illness. He was just born like this and it was difficult to change.

Silas Zhong knows him better than most people and knows that when Finn Xi is doing things, the correct way to avoid annoying him is to not look for presence. Not even any courtesy.

After all, Silas Zhong is just a component in Finn Xi's life.

Like the flower that blooms silently on the windowsill without attention, like the two dogs that have been strictly trained not to act coquettishly, like the car that was bought on a whim but has no time to drive, they are all part of Finn Xi's regular life. The important thing is not the components themselves, but the consistency of the rules.

When Finn Xi left the study, it was already lunch time. But he seemed to have an appointment and would not eat at home.

Silas Zhong stayed on the sofa all morning, reading the book he threw away yesterday. It was the original German version of Schopenhauer's philosophical masterpiece "The World as Will and Representation". Silas Zhong did not understand German, so he was reading Finn Xi's notes in Chinese.

They had talked about Schopenhauer before, and knowing that Finn Xi was watching, Silas Zhong took advantage of him and took time to study it for a month. But Silas Zhong only had time to make an opening statement: "Do you like Schopenhauer's theory?" Before the topic could be further developed, he was blocked by a ridiculing "I don't like", leaving Silas Zhong speechless.

Finn Xi is simply too difficult to please, and the spiritual world is even harder to touch. People need courage to even get close to him.

Seeing someone coming out of the study, Silas Zhong put down his book.

Finn Xi unbuttoned her shirt and walked towards the cloakroom while taking off her shirt. She finally turned around and said as if she remembered him: "I have something to go out and may not be back in the evening." The implication is: Silas Zhong can stay if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to stay he can gone.

This was the end of a brief reunion after a long absence. It seemed like they had only spoken a few words since they met yesterday.

The cloakroom is on the second floor, and Finn Xi's appearance has changed when he goes downstairs again. The attire was not formal, which meant that the occasion he was going to was not serious. He still held something in his hand, walked straight to the sofa, and suddenly said: "This is for you."

Silas Zhong was surprised: "This is..."

"I was celebrating Christmas in North America a few days ago, and I bought it when I went to a jewelry store with a friend." Finn Xi opened her palms, and there was a cactus-shaped diamond pendant lying in her palms. It was exquisitely designed, and it was obvious at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.

what is this? Souvenir?

Finn Xi always gives things as he pleases. It's possible that he liked them at the time but didn't like them anymore after buying them, so he threw them to Silas Zhong.

But Silas Zhong couldn't read the book just now, and he kept thinking about when the Christmas cactus would die - it would be better to die early than if it was so late, and a similar "cactus" was suddenly stuffed into his hand. It is a souvenir and will never die.

The coincidence was astonishing, as if Finn Xi and him had a clear understanding.

"...Thank you." Silas Zhong seemed to be gripped by some unspeakable strong emotion. He stood up slowly, his expression too complicated to describe. He made the most appropriate reaction based on instinct, hugging Finn Xi's waist and wanting to K!ss him.

Finn Xi refused, raising his hand and pushing: "It's very cheap. There's no need to show off your dedication. Just rest."

... Silas Zhong paused and asked, "Will you come back tomorrow?"

"That's not necessarily the case. There's a good chance I won't come back." Finn Xi walked to the door, "If you have something to do, just go and do it. You don't have to wait for me."

After saying that, Finn Xi didn't mention when they would meet next time and left without looking back.

At the end of the year, it gets colder every day. The weather forecast predicts that the temperature in Caspian City will almost plummet in the future, and there will be sleet and snow tomorrow.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Delia Tang was wrapped in a warm woolen coat and doing a manicure in the store.

Since Secretary Fang took over the public relations work of Hot Search, she relaxed and no longer cared about Blaine Yu's madness.

In fact, Blaine Yu did not make any further comments. His background was suddenly revealed. How much money he had received and who had been instructed to expose the scandal were all made public. He suddenly changed from a messenger of justice to rectify the atmosphere in the entertainment industry to an unscrupulous marketing account that maliciously spread rumors. He was criticized verbally and written by netizens - mainly Silas Zhong fans - and fell overnight.

His "last day in 2023" has already ended before it arrives. Some netizens mistakenly guessed from the perspective of conspiracy theories that Silas Zhong has a strong background and is like a new generation of "unspeakable". Blaine Yu has kicked the iron plate. . However, black material without evidence cannot be considered black material. The agency can solve the main problems and leave the rest of the battlefield to the fans to clean up.

Public opinion is like a gust of wind, and people with a will can control it and blow it.

After the hot search ended, Delia Tang felt refreshed at first, but when she thought about it, she felt a little flustered for no reason.

She stared at her nails. Before she could get rid of her panic, her phone suddenly rang. It was Silas Zhong's call.

Delia Tang avoided people and went to the corner to pick him up.

"What time will the commercial be shot?" Silas Zhong said, "I'm ready. Come pick me up at Minghu."

Delia Tang: ...

"Didn't you say you need to rest for a few days?" Delia Tang habitually scratched her hair. The nails she had just put on were not dry yet, and it caught her hair, which made her hiss in pain. "I'll help you at the risk of being scolded for being a big name." Postponed, now you tell me that you can shoot? Are you going too far? "

Silas Zhong couldn't help but asked her, "Do you want to take a picture?"

Delia Tang understood: "Mr. Xi kicked you out?"

"No."

"That means he left without you." Delia Tang understood, and sighed in an unstable mood, "I suddenly understand you a little bit now, white rice is not that delicious. He wants the wind to blow and the rain to rain. Yu, we are just little grasshoppers under his hands, relying on people's looks to make a living, what will we do in the future? "

Silas Zhong didn't answer, so Delia Tang asked himself: "What happened to his fiancée? Have you found out clearly?"

"I don't know." Silas Zhong always has a negative attitude in front of his agent.

Delia Tang knew that he was annoying her, and he would only spread anxiety without solving it every time. She was also annoyed, but this matter couldn't be solved, what could she do?

"Forget it, I don't want to be verbose all the time. I want to say a few serious words," Delia Tang pressed her long nails on her temples and whispered, "First of all, please don't blame me for being bad-mouthed. I don't like hearing it." I don't know what happened today, but I'm even more panicked than yesterday. "

"Have it?"

"Yes!" Delia Tang said, "I have a bad premonition. I always feel that--how should I put it, we may have to come to an end on this road of Finn Xi."

...

Silas Zhong was silent for a moment, and Delia Tang said: "Don't worry about what he thinks. A family like his will definitely choose a well-matched daughter to marry in the end, which is what happened in the past two years. Instead of hoping that things will not happen, It’s better to find a way out in advance, what do you think?”

------Find a way out.

Ms. Tang has always wished she could be Finn Xi's B!tch and hug him till she grows old. She has never said such depressing yet sober words.

"Hey, I used to fantasize about when Finn Xi would fall in love with you? The kind of love that cannot live without you, betray the whole family for you, give up everything and elope with you ---"

Delia Tang's tone is like a CP fan who relies on his brain to eat fake sugar, but the CP fan's brain supplement is for sweetness, but she is for money.

Silas Zhong may have been shocked by her whims, because the phone was silent.

Delia Tang changed the subject and said: "But it's been seven years, seven years - even if he were a stone, it would have been worn away by the rain. But what about the reality? He doesn't love you at all. Looking for the future The only way out is for us. You can either talk to him about the breakup fee and put forward some conditions, or you can think of other ways and make plans to get out early------"

Before he finished saying the word "body", the call ended suddenly and Silas Zhong hung up.

Delia Tang was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, what's going on? Silas Zhong usually only hangs up the phone when he is angry.

But what is he so angry about? No way......

It is the agent's job to help him plan for the future. Yesterday Delia Tang asked him to take the initiative to please Finn Xi, but he was unwilling. Today I asked him to find a way out, but he was unwilling. Neither left nor right, where did he want to go?
