Sawyer Ji still hadn’t figured out the reason until the takeaway food was completely cold.
He put the spicy hot pot in the microwave for three minutes, then sat down to continue eating. He simply stopped thinking about things that he couldn't figure out. In his previous life, he died young because he was too obsessed with trivial matters. Even if he still didn't have many years left in this life, it was better to live happily and enjoy life today than to live in fear and count the days on his fingers every day.
After he finished eating, he remembered that he had not dealt with the text message. He wanted to call him directly for the most efficient and least boring communication. When he was about to press the call button, he changed his mind and thought, since he had sent the text message first, why not go with the flow and watch Mr. Qin slap himself in the face repeatedly?
Sawyer Ji happily started to reply to the message: [Very good]
Graham Qin replied in less than three minutes: [Have you eaten? Wear more clothes when it’s cold.]
Sawyer Ji was confused. What was Mr. Qin up to? He hesitated for a moment: [Eat it]
Then more than half an hour passed and there was no reply from the other end.
Sawyer Ji had nothing to do, so he went to the balcony and threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine. The machine started humming, and he suddenly woke up from a dream and pressed a lot of buttons to stop the washing machine. He squatted down to pull out the wet clothes and took out a crumpled business card from the pocket of a coat.
After returning to the living room and spreading the business card on the table, Sawyer Ji turned on his phone and took a look. It was still empty without a single message. He suddenly became a little angry, picked up the business card, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can. On the crumpled paper ball lying in the plastic fast food box, he could vaguely see the word "Qin".
This is Qin Wei Yu's business card. The reason it appeared in his pocket was the same as in his previous life - he accidentally fell into the water while filming a reality show a month ago. After waking up in the hospital, he learned from Harper that he was rescued by a young man, and the coat beside him was left by that man.
Sawyer Ji found such a business card in the pocket of the coat, and revealed the true identity of the rescuer in a low-key and unobtrusive manner. When he saw the business card for the first time, he felt warm and hot in his heart. He held the coat tightly until he was discharged from the hospital. When he got home, he immediately made the first shy call to Graham Qin, pretending that he had just learned his mobile phone number.
, carefully invited him to dinner over the phone to express his gratitude. Later, he carefully put the business card into a book and kept it as a token of their love.
Sawyer Ji didn't want to recall what happened afterwards. It was nothing more than that he foolishly fell into a web that was woven specifically for him without hesitation. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank, until he could no longer get out.
This time, when he saw the coat and heard the familiar story of "the hero saving the beauty", he just wanted to mock himself in his previous life. How could an excellent local TV station and a mature program allow such an accident to happen on the set? Even if he was destined to have such a disaster, there were more than a hundred people on the set, so why did an outsider who was not related to him jump into the river to save him?
Sawyer Ji, who had lived again, could objectively analyze and treat some things that he had never understood until his death in his previous life. In fact, his ending had already revealed clues. He didn't know what had blinded him, and he didn't realize it at all. He naively trusted the people around him completely, and was even more open-hearted and unreserved to his closest people.
"The closest person..." Sawyer Ji chewed on these four words over and over again. His face gradually turned dim and gray. He shook his head and didn't dare to think any further.
He decided to take a nap, hoping to realize his dream of becoming a movie star. This was his wish when he was young. When he first debuted, he had expressed his ambition to become a movie star in many public occasions. Unfortunately, within two years of his previous life, this ambition was completely wiped out by reality and became a joke among passers-by.
He didn't ask for anything else in his life except to continue acting, preferably to the point where he couldn't tell the difference between being in the role and being outside of it, and spend the remaining years (who knew how many years) in a daze, and then get the lunch box that he deserved.
I might be the least motivated person who has been reborn... Sawyer Ji buried his head in the pillow, thinking dazedly.
For someone who has suffered from sleep problems for a long time, the worst thing is to be suddenly woken up just when you are about to fall asleep.
Hearing the loud ringing of the cell phone, Sawyer Ji suddenly sat up from the bed, picked up the cell phone on the bedside, and shouted fiercely before the receiver reached his lips: "What are you doing?"
Little did he know that his so-called "ferocity" was at most just a irritation in the other party's ears, and his lazy voice with a nasal tone had an inexplicable flavor of coquettishness.
Graham Qin was in a trance for a moment, and said: "Sorry, I was in a meeting just now, so I didn't reply to the message in time."
Sawyer Ji woke up instantly. He took away his phone and looked at the screen. It was Graham Qin.
"What's the matter?" The voice suddenly became much lower.
"Did I disturb your rest?" Qin Wei Yu asked.
It's only 11 o'clock now. Most people wouldn't eat lunch and go to bed at this time. Sawyer Ji said unhappily: "No, tell me what you want to say." He didn't believe that Graham Qin called just to apologize for such a trivial matter as not replying to the message in time.
Graham Qin didn't seem to mind his impolite tone, and said slowly: "Are you free on Saturday night? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Sawyer Ji thought, here it comes, the most important and necessary step in a blind date is here.
When he heard these words in his previous life, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He wanted to agree hesitantly, but was too embarrassed to respond so quickly, for fear that his image in Graham Qin's heart would be damaged.
"Okay." Sawyer Ji was straightforward now, because he knew he had to get through this stage no matter what. "I'll book the hotel and send you the address when the time comes."
Graham Qin was silent for a few seconds and said, "Okay."
Leisurely days always go by quickly, and from Tuesday to Saturday it only takes a few meals.
Sawyer Ji got out of the taxi fully armed, but he still shivered in the cold wind. He regretted not wearing his thick down jacket. He had stayed at home for too long and almost forgot that it was such a cold weather outside.
He was extremely afraid of cold, so he hated winter. During the years when his mother was still around, he would even ask for leave from school during the coldest days of the year as long as he acted cute. While other students were running on the playground, he would sit on his bed wrapped in a quilt and play with remote control cars, with only his eyes exposed.
and after?
After that, no one loved him like this anymore.
Sawyer Ji walked into a roadside barbecue restaurant. The end of the year is the busiest time for all restaurants. The small shop was already full of people, but he still saw Graham Qin in the crowd at a glance.
Graham Qin is tall, half a head taller than the 1.80-meter-tall boy. Since he deals with businessmen all day long, he wears formal clothes most of the time. His clothes are ironed straight, and his shoes are polished to a shine. He has an upright posture and is serious, looking like a real social elite.
Today he didn't wear a suit, but an iron-gray cashmere coat. The stiff fabric perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and healthy body. Sawyer Ji suddenly remembered Felicity Zhou's frequent saying "muscles are the key to good looks", and he felt unhappy again.
The barbecue shop was steaming hot. Sawyer Ji took off his sunglasses and squeezed inside by walking around the crowd. In this situation, he was not worried at all about being recognized.
Before he even got to her, Graham Qin stood up and said, "You're here."
Before he came, he sent a message to Graham Qin asking him to go in and find a seat first, and Graham Qin actually did so.
Sawyer Ji sat down unceremoniously, put down what he was holding, pulled the mask under his nose, took a deep breath, and then looked at the person in front of him.
Graham Qin was the same as before, or rather, he had never changed. Sawyer Ji knew that he was born with a good appearance, a full forehead, deep eyebrows and eyes, and even the line of his jaw matched his high nose bridge perfectly. Sawyer Ji had seen a description of a person's appearance as "a gift from the Creator" in a script before. At that time, he did not believe it and did not take it seriously, but when he saw Graham Qin for the first time, he believed it.
Graham Qin saw that he didn't say anything, and his face didn't show any embarrassment. He sat down, picked up the stainless steel kettle on the table, poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Sawyer Ji: "It's cold outside, right? I'll pick you up next time."
Sawyer Ji was puzzled. If you come to pick me up, will I be able to avoid the cold? Besides, who wants to have another time with you?
Of course, he didn't say this. He didn't want to try so hard to please Graham Qin in this life, but he didn't want to be his enemy either. After all, this person was a man with deep thoughts, and if he really annoyed him, he wouldn't be well off.
Sawyer Ji took a sip of water and asked, "Have you ordered?"
"No, I'll wait for you."
Sawyer Ji picked up a pen and quickly ticked a few items on the menu. When he was done, he pushed it in front of Graham Qin and said, "It's your turn."
Graham Qin stared at the menu for a moment, then looked up and said to the waiter, "I want the same one as his, thank you."
Sawyer Ji rolled his eyes in his heart. He knew that Graham Qin had never been to such a street stall with such a strong atmosphere. He asked him to come here this time just to see him being unhappy but unable to say anything. However, he was not embarrassed at all. His gestures were still as natural and calm as before. He did not show any discomfort at all. His face was also calm, which surprised Sawyer Ji.
The grilled skewers were brought to the table one after another. Sawyer Ji picked them up and started eating as if no one was around. Graham Qin sat there calmly. When Sawyer Ji finished three kebabs of lamb, he finally reached out and took one.
Seeing those slender fingers picking up the greasy skewers, Sawyer Ji couldn't help but want to laugh. He tried to hold back his laughter while stuffing food into his mouth, thinking that the scene in front of him was really appetizing, and the two taels of fat that he had finally lost due to a stomachache were probably going to grow back again.
Mr. Qin is not only good-looking, but also has first-rate acting skills. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become an actor.
Qin Wei Yu ate a few skewers of vegetables slowly, placed the bamboo sticks neatly in one place, then wiped his hands with a tissue and placed his fingers clasped together on the table.
Sawyer Ji didn't look up and just kept eating.
"I heard you were sick, are you feeling better now?"
Sawyer Ji thought about this question and thought it seemed someone had asked him before. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said vaguely, "It's all right now."
Graham Qin nodded and pushed the cup closer to him: "Drink some water and eat slowly."
Sawyer Ji picked up the cup and took a big sip, and Graham Qin picked up the kettle to fill it with tea.
After finishing most of the large plate of grilled skewers, Sawyer Ji rubbed his stomach and felt that he would not get gastrointestinal problems this time. After all, he had been eating meaty and greasy food gradually over the past few days just to be able to eat barbecue to his heart's content.
He wiped his mouth with a tissue, and suddenly glanced at the clothes on the chair next to him. He threw the tissue casually on the table, stood up and went to pick up the dark suit jacket.
"Here, I give it back to you. It's washed." Sawyer Ji handed over the coat.
The jacket, made of fine fabric and exquisite workmanship, is now wrinkled, and it is obvious that it has been washed in a washing machine. It has also been immersed in the fumes of the barbecue restaurant for a long time, so the smell must be very unusual.
Thinking of this, Sawyer Ji's eyes flashed with mischief. He couldn't wait to see the reaction of Mr. Qin, who was very concerned about his reputation and cleanliness. Graham Qin liked people who obeyed him the most. After what happened today, he might have to spend some time to think about his marriage when he returned.
Marrying someone you don't like is a painful thing in itself, and if this person doesn't meet your expectations in every way, it can be said to be adding insult to injury, right?
Graham Qin didn't take the coat. He pointed to the right corner of his lips and said, "Here."
"Ah?" The story did not develop according to the script, and Sawyer Ji was unable to react for a moment.
Graham Qin didn't put down his hand: "It's dirty here."
Sawyer Ji quickly raised his left hand and subconsciously wiped the corner of his lips where Graham Qin pointed.
"No." Graham Qin frowned slightly and stared at Sawyer Ji's lips.
Sawyer Ji was still wiping and rubbing without knowing why, when Graham Qin reached out his hand.
The moment Graham Qin's thumb touched his right cheek, Sawyer Ji shuddered violently. Before he could figure out what it felt like, he slapped Graham Qin's hand away with great force, making a loud snapping sound, like a crisp clap.
Someone at the next table heard the noise and looked towards them. Sawyer Ji picked up the mask hanging on one ear and put it on, lowering his head and saying nothing.
When he had dinner with him for the first time in his previous life, the silly Sawyer Ji was trying hard to perform from beginning to end, trying to show his best side. He knew that Graham Qin had high standards and he only hoped that he could catch his eye and reach the passing line in his mind.
Now, don’t even mention the grade, the score on the paper is probably already negative.
Graham Qin saw more and more eyes gathered around him, and whispered: "Let's go, let's go out first."
Sawyer Ji was walking in front, and his cheeks felt hot where he had been touched. He wondered if it was because of the chili powder that had not been wiped off. He hesitated and wanted to put his hand into the mask to scratch it, but when he saw the oil stains on his fingers that had not been wiped off, he felt a little disgusted.
Sawyer Ji's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute, doesn’t Graham Qin have mysophobia?
