Cen Nan took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
He and Song Wei were walking behind each other. Song Wei, who was dawdling in front of the elevator, picked up a call and informed the new little assistant where the information for the day’s meeting was.
When he raised his head, the door of the elevator had already opened and Cen Nan came out neatly dressed. There was a smile on his lips and he seemed to be in a good mood.
However, as soon as the two pairs of eyes collided, the smile on his lips dropped.
Song Wei placed his mobile phone back into his pocket. He noticed Cen Nan’s gaze fall on his shirt. His toiletries were at Liang Muqiu’s apartment, but he didn’t have a complete set of clothes to change into and this shirt was taken from Liang Muqiu’s wardrobe.
He still didn’t like seeing Cen Nan and his lips were tense, not wanting to talk to him.
Cen Nan was the first to speak, “Good morning. My manners weren’t very nice last night and I didn’t greet you properly, I apologise.”
Song Wei’s eyes widened and blinked, thinking that it was raining red from the sky. Since when had Cen Nan ever been so civilized and polite.
But as the old saying goes, 'Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.' He bit his lip and nodded. “Good morning to you too.”
In fact, in terms of attitude, his was more fiery than Cen Nan’s last night. Since Cen Nan had handed over the steps, there was also no reason for him to confront the other. After all, there was still a Liang Muqiu in the middle.
However, they were classmates who hadn’t seen each other in years and they didn’t have much to say to each other. After A greeting, they had run out of things to say.
Cen Nan didn’t intend to say anything else after greeting so he walked to his car.
Song Wei’s car was parked in a row next to him. When he passed by Cen Nan, he hesitated for a while, but stopped.
“So..” he cleared his throat, “You may think I’m an outsider, but to me, Mu Qiu is my best friend. Whatever grudges you have, it’s not up to me to solve. But…” He paused and said softly, “Be nice to him.”
Cen Nan’s hand was on the handle of the car and he turned to look at him. There was no expression on his face and he couldn’t distinguish his happiness or anger.
Song Wei sighed and said helplessly, “Liang Muqiu is a fool, otherwise he wouldn’t have waited for you for seven years. Since you’re here to chase him again, don’t disappoint him again. No matter how soft-hearted he is and no matter how much he loves you, you can’t always corner and bully him. ”
After he finished speaking, he stared at Cen Nan almost stubbornly.
Cen Nan was not used to making promises to people other than Liang Muqiu. He always cherished words like gold, but he nodded slightly to Song Wei’s words.
“I will.”

Song Wei snorted lightly. “I’ll accompany my childhood friend. It’s not your turn to thank me.”
After that, he walked away.
The two men drove their cars and left the parking lot respectively. They both had a tacit understanding and neither of them told Liang Muqiu about this conversation.
When they sat down for dinner a week later, they were also well-mannered.
Liang Muqiu looked at them both and thought he was really a genius for adjusting the atmosphere.
They were eating hot pot and while Song Wei went to get the sauces, Liang Muqiu looked at his back. In the name of their childhood friendship, he was concerned about Song Wei’s love life. He secretly asked Cen Nan, “Do you have any handsome young men in your law firm? Taller than 180, sunny and gentle. Song Wei likes this type. He spends all his time in the fashion circle and the rest are all like goblins, they don’t suit him.”
Cen Nan thought carefully, “There are 180, but the weight is also 180.”
Liang Muqiu suddenly lost interest. “Then let Song Wei mingle with the pile of goblins.”
A few days after the dinner, Liang Muqiu was going on a business trip again.
A film script he wrote last year was finally to be launched this year. The director was still young in the circle but had won several awards. They were good acquaintances and the director called him to ask if he could join the group for a month. Some scenes needed to be adjusted on site and it was more convenient to have a screenwriter present.
Liang Muqiu thought about it and agreed.
In fact, he usually didn’t follow the crew, but he paid a lot of attention to this script and wanted to watch the filming.
He mentioned this when Cen Nan came to his house. The two men were playing chinese chess and Cen Nan played ruthlessly, defeating him.
Liang Muqiu stared at the chess game with furrowed brows and said casually, “I’m going on a business trip to Yandu next week. The book “Parasitic” I sold before and the filming for it is about to start. I’ll be staying with the crew for a month.”
After he said that, he looked up at Cen Nan. Sure enough, Cen Nan was frowning and didn’t look very happy.
Liang Muqi could never stand up to him and he blamed it on Cen Nan being too good-looking. Whenever he saw Cen Nan showing the slightest bit of grievance, he felt so distressed he didn’t know what to do.
However, this matter had already been discussed and it was also work. He can’t be King Zhou and couldn’t be confused just to win a smile from a beauty.
With one hand supporting his chin, he said lazily, “Don’t be so sullen. It’s no use being coquettish. If you can ask for leave, I can bring you along with me.”
He was merely saying it on a whim since Cen Nan’s lawfirm wasn’t as lax as him. Cen Nan had basically been working late into the middle of the night the past few days.
Cen Nan didn’t say anything and took his King in one fell swoop.
“You lose.” His finger was pressed on a chess piece, as white and beautiful as a jade carving.
Liang Muqiu pouted, feeling quite sad in his heart.
His chess was taught by Cen Nan and would naturally be unable to beat the teacher.
Cen Nan obeyed him in everything now, but refused to give him half a stepGo easy on him
/tn] on the chessboard. He just loved to watch him stomp around in anger.
Liang Muqiu pursed his lips, “You just wait, when we play video games, you’ll be calling me Dad.”
Cen Nan calmly said, “Then wait until you win.”
He packed up the chessboard and casually teased Liang Muqiu, “We didn’t decide the bet just now. Now that you’ve lost, how should I punish you?”
Liang Muqiu widened his eyes and vaguely realized that he seemed to have pitted himself.
He said quickly, “I’m not calling you that.”
The corner of Cen Nan’s mouth ticked up, “I don’t have a hobby of listening to you call me Dad outside of bed either.”
He spoke calmly and seriously as if he was presenting his own evidence in court. But when he said it with an abstinent face, there was a unique erotic feel to it.
Liang Muqiu almost choked on the water.
Cen Nan looked at Liang Muqiu and thought of something. He said seriously, “Call me gege.”
Liang Muqiu was reluctant and stared at Cen Nan awkwardly.
Cen Nan coaxed him, “It’s not like you haven’t called it before.”
This sentence brought back memories for both of them.
Liang Muqiu had indeed called out this title a lot.
Cen Nan was a few months older than Liang Muqiu. In their third year of high school, Liang Muqiu often forgot to do his homework. In order to copy Cen Nan’s answers, he threw face and laid on Cen Nan’s arm. With watery puppy-like eyes, he called out “gege”. It was much cuter than Edamame.
Cen Nan was only eighteen years old at the time. How could he resist this? He was calm on the surface, but in fact his ears were secretly red.
Liang Muqiu never found out because he was just a fool.
Now the young man who called him “gege” had grown up long ago and had become a beautiful young man sitting across from him. He no longer acted like a spoiled child and no longer followed him.
He only had himself to blame.
Liang Muqiu thought of another thing. He had called Cen Nan ‘gege‘ countless times, but he didn’t know since when but when they were alone, Cen Nan would sometimes call him Qiuqiu or Baobao.
It was very cringe and it didn’t seem like something that would come out of the mouth of a cold and noble person like Cen Nan, but whenever he was sad and went to Cen Nan coquettishly for comfort, Cen Nan would call him that.
But before meeting Cen Nan, he was not so coquettish. He grew up with his mother and grandmother and learned to be independent early on so that they wouldn’t have to worry so much.
Only Cen Nan, who didn’t look like a gentle person, indulged all his small outbursts and told him that he could be lazy if he wanted to.
For a while, he couldn’t tell whether he was happy or sad. It was as if preserved plums were stuffed at the bottom of his heart, sweet and sour.
Cen Nan had left his seat at some unknown time. He gently hugged him and took him into his arms. The two of them changed their positions. Liang Muqiu was sitting on Cen Nan’s legs and facing him.
Twenty-eight-year-old Cen Nan lost his youthful innocence and became more handsome and cold, extremely charming.
He gently stroked Liang Muqiu’s forehead, as if pleading, “Say it, Qiuqiu.”
Liang Muqiu hesitated for a moment.
He’s so old now, not as shameless as he used to be.
But Cen Nan’s embrace was so comforting that he almost forgot how long they’d been separated.
It was as if Cen Nan had gone on a long trip and returned to take him into his arms.
He didn’t know why but his nose was a bit sour.
He grabbed Cen Nan’s shirt, hesitated and whispered, “Nan ge.”
That was what he called Cen Nan at the age of eighteen.
With the earnestness and dependence of a juvenile.
Cen Nan hugged him tightly, clasping his shoulders, as if someone would snatch him away.
The two didn’t speak for a while.
After a while, Cen Nan kissed Liang Muqiu very lightly.
“I’m here, Qiu bao.”
