Chapter 2: ."monologue"

Chapter two
Early in the morning, Xie Ning woke up in the sun.
Unexpectedly, a dozen missed calls and unfamiliar numbers were displayed on the mobile phone. I don't know if Xu Qing changed his card or borrowed someone else.
This stalker posture is a bit ugly, Xie Ning can't figure it out, too lazy to deal with it.
He still wants to sleep again in the warm bed, but it is already past 10 o'clock, and he will miss the hot pot with Yan Xi again.
Seeing the face of the hot pot, Xie Ning lingered for a while and slowly got up to change clothes.
Yan Xi was not only afraid that Xie Ning would be trapped in the sadness of breaking up, but also afraid that he would believe Xu Qing's rhetoric. It was a positive response to him in the past two days.
The two have been friends for many years, long past the stickiness of going to the toilet together. Xie Ning was taken aback by the rise and almost thought Yan Xi was going to chase him.
Yan Xi laughed and cried: "If I have an idea for you, can that fool Xu Qing dominate you for four years?"
After a pause, he sighed: "I am actually quite guilty. If I hadn't made a mistake and made a joke with you back then, you wouldn't be with Xu Qing."
He would hope that Xie Ning could step out of his own world, and no longer resist and make friends with others, but unexpectedly self-defeating.
Yan Xi's initial impression of Xu Qing was quite good. He was well-dressed and showed talent, and his eyes were especially affectionate. When he looked at Xie Ning, it always made people feel how deep he was for Xie Ning.
Later, it turns out that these are just appearances.
Looking at the weather outside the window, Xie Ning pulled out a scarf from the closet, recalling how the man who arrived that day surrounded him.
This elegant and warm surrounding method is indeed very innovative, Xie Ning praised the aesthetics of art students.
When going out, he put on himself a pair of white cashmere gloves to keep him warm, and his hands were slender and slender.
Xie Ning was born to be afraid of cold. After he was fully armed, he raised his mouth and went to the hot pot appointment in Yanxi.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, the corner of his mouth immediately collapsed.
Xu Qing stood at the door with a haggard face and a bleak expression, holding a bunch of roses in his hand, and bumped him in the face.
"Xie Ning..." Xu Qing trembled when she saw him, "You, you are finally willing to see me."
Xie Ning took out his mobile phone and looked at the inbox that was automatically blocked by him. As expected, among a large number of unfamiliar text messages, one of them was "I'm waiting for you at your door. Would you please come out and meet me?"
The letter is sent at 8:30 in the morning.
Xie Ning explained: "I didn't see your message, I just happened to be going out."
Xu Qing said: "It's okay, I can see you, I... I'm here to ask for your forgiveness."
Xie Ning frowned: "I made it very clear last time."
Xu Qing: "I know that I am not good, but I am so obsessed with my heart that I am sorry for you."
Xie Ning looked at him calmly.
Xu Qing: "Will you give me another chance?"
Xie Ning did not hesitate, and said directly: "Not good."
"Why?" Xu Qing said in pain, "Xie Ning, I know it was my fault, I will change it! As long as you can forgive me! I will change it!"
why?
Xie Ning was surprised. He tilted his head and asked in confusion: "I should ask you about this, right?"
"Why do you feel that after I see you in bed with someone else, I can still be with you?"
Xie Ning's voice was calm and confused, as if he was just a good scholar asking about the trouble in his heart.
Xu Qing suddenly became dumb.
Xie Ning didn't want to pester him anymore, and was about to go downstairs when Xu Qing suddenly stretched out his hand to him, as if to hug him.
Xie Ning was startled and took a step back subconsciously.
Xu Qing grabbed his hand and his voice was hoarse and trembling: "Xie Ning, you scold me! Hit me! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
As he spoke, he pulled his hand and hit his face.
Xie Ning didn't know where he was making trouble again, but he really didn't have the energy to spend with him.
"Xu Qing." Xie Ning leaned back and leaned on the door. "Is the way I scolded you when I hit you, is it very similar to Zhuang Yan?"
Xu Qing was stunned.
Taking advantage of his stunned chance, Xie Ning broke free and ran straight down the stairs.
After such a delay, I was naturally late when I arrived at the hot pot restaurant.
After explaining what happened just now with Yan Xi, Yan Xi was even more angry than him: "The ghost is not going away! How can this person be so annoying!"
Xie Ning nodded approvingly: "Yeah, can't you all get together?"
Yan Xi scolded for a long time before stopping.
"That's right." Yan Xi looked at Xie Ning's face and asked, "Before I was afraid of irritation, you never dared to ask, how did you and Xu Qing break up?"
How did you break up?
Xie Ning smiled: "Don't you always say that he is behaving badly, and his bedmates have not been cut off one by one, and persuaded me to break up with him every day?"
Yan Xi was taken aback: "You always don't believe me then! You also asked me for photos. The scandals between him and those little stars are flying all over the sky. No one knows about this, but I can get bed photos!"
Xie Ning said: "I'm not unbelieving, I just think there are photos to break up."
Yan Xi pondered: "You are investigating a case when you break up in a relationship, do you need evidence to convict someone?"
Xie Ning was at a loss: "Isn't it?"
Yan Xi choked. He knew that Xie Ning had his own set of logic in life, but he didn't expect his brain circuit to be so strange.
"Forget it," he waved his hand. "Let's not mention this. Then you are breaking up now to find evidence. Can you convict him?"
Xie Ning said slowly: "I had a drawing that fell in his house two days ago."
Why did you suddenly change the subject?
Yan Xi didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Then?"
"I'll go to his house to get it. Then..." Xie Ning tilted her head, "just happened to ran into him in bed with someone else..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Xi was already furious: "Fuck!!! He even dared to take people home!!!"
Yan Xi poured him a glass of ice coke: "You calm down..."
"Come on with your mother! I knew I should find someone to beat him up! I got rid of his third leg!"
Yan Xi knows that Xu Qing's private life is not very good. He is the heir of Qingfeng Film and Television. There are many little stars who voluntarily stripped off and lay on his bed.
Xu Qing is not Liu Xiahui either, how can he hold back the fishery that he delivered to the door.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qing could be so arrogant to take the little fairy home and let Xie Ning run into it!
Just thinking about it, Yan Xi felt that Xie Ning's eyes were stained.
He recites "Murdering and breaking the law, I am a good citizen who abides by the law" several times in silence, and he can suppress his anger.
"Have you beaten them on the spot?" Yan Xi asked.
Xie Ning shook his head.
"Scold them?" Yan Xi asked again.
Xie Ning continued to shake his head.
Yan Xi glanced at him with hatred of iron and steel, and took out his cell phone to call Xu Qing.
The phone was connected, and before Xu Qing could speak, Yan Xi uttered a national curse. The curse was so cool that he didn't give the opponent a chance to fight back, so he hung up and pulled the black in one go.
Xie Ning was stunned.
"Have you seen it, this is how you can relieve your anger." Yan Xi cursed dryly, picked up the ice coke and drank it. "You learn more!"
Shaining people are good-looking, talented, and temperamental. Many people like him, and many people are jealous of him. When he was a student, he was innocent, and he was very bullied when he looked at it. Yan Xi would break his heart for him.
When someone came to the door, Yan Xi scolded him back. Some people blocked Xie Ning at the door after school, and Yan Xi beat him back one by one.
For this reason, Yan Xi recorded a lot of punishment, and his reputation was once spread outside the school.
Some people were not convinced even after being beaten, and they called Yan Xi the old mother guarding the calf, and Yan Xi was rightly confident: "I protect the calf, whoever dares to touch Xie Ning is to touch me! You can try if you don't want to live!"
This protection is now protected.
On the other hand, Xu Qing stomped on Xie Ning's place, feeling sullen in heart, and at noon he just pulled the young star he had taken out of the crew to eat with him.
The little star is Xiao Shi, the little fairy who Xie Ning ran into last time. It stands to reason that if Xu Qing is sincere, he should be broken.
But Xu Qing was not willing to do this.
The angled profile of Xiao Shi is similar to that of Zhuang Yan in college. Xu Qing thought about it, but still couldn't let it go.
Halfway through the meal, when Xu Qing's anger almost subsided, he was receiving a curse call from Yan Xi.
"are you crazy!"
The response to Xu Qing was the busy beep on the phone.
Xiao Shi looked at him wrong: "What's the matter?"
Xu Qing said with a solemn face: "It's okay."
Xiao Shi was cautious: "Is... Xie Ning?"
Xu Qing's face became darker: "What are you talking about! Eat well!"
Xiao Shi dared not speak anymore.
Xu Qing's temper was not very good at first, and the two days were even more moody, making him tremble at the meal.
Xu Qing glanced at the phone, feeling more irritable.
Xie Ning has always been a well-behaved and obedient image in his heart. He has never interfered more in his private life, so Xu Qinglang became unscrupulous.
No one around him knew about the little star. Xie Ning had never cared about it, nor did he break up this time.
Xu Qing thought for a while, and felt that most of it was swayed by someone.
It might be Yan Xi!
The roses that were not given out in the morning were thrown aside. Xu Qingman thought indifferently, what Xie Ning knows, I guess he is still in anger, as long as he apologizes and coaxes two sentences, Xie Ning will probably forgive him.
He had dreams here, but Xie Ning and Yan Xi were discussing how to avoid his entanglement.
"The community where you live is not very safe, why did you let Xu Qing come to the door? You should talk to the guard quickly and don't let him in next time."
Xie Ning swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said slowly: "I mentioned it to the guard, but the guard can't stop it either."
Yan Xi patted the table: "Why can't you stop it? You print out his photo and paste it at the gate of the community, saying that this person is a suspected fugitive. I don't believe the guard can let him in again!"
"But," Xie Ning said, "Xu Qing also bought a house in the community. He is one of the owners."
The single apartment Xie Ning bought in the city center was surrounded by white-collar workers. With Xu Qing's current value, buying one is not a big deal.
Yan Xi frowned: "Then you can't let him harass you so much, or you can just move to my place and live for a few days. If he dares to find the door, I dare to destroy him!"
Xie Ning shook his head: "Don't have to be so troublesome, I plan to stay at the Lakeside Villa for a while."
The Lakeside Villa is a luxury residential area close to the Tyumen Lake. The Tyumen Lake is introduced into the community with artificial design. There are only 49 buildings in total. The single-family design is extremely safe and confidential.
Xie Ning's set is a coming-of-age gift given to him by his grandfather. He rarely lives there, but someone will always clean it. Moving in is a matter of minutes.
Yan Xi was relieved: "Then you move quickly."
Xie Ning nodded: "I found a good movie in the past few days, but unfortunately it was not shown in China. I bought the Blu-ray and want to watch it at the Lakeside Villa."
The lakeside villas have complete supporting facilities. Dogs can be walked in the large garden. There is a projection room inside, and the viewing effect is better than some small cinemas.
Xie Ning went to the Lakeside Villa this time, not because of Xu Qing, but because of this movie.
Xu Qing didn't have such a big weight in his heart.
"What movie?" Xie Ning is not a movie enthusiast, and it is the first time Yan Xi has seen him so interested in a movie.
Xie Ning replied, "The Monologue."
Yan Xi thought for a long time: "I haven't heard of it."
"It's not very famous in China," Xie Ning said. "In fact, it's not well-known abroad. Later, it was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival in a big hit, and its popularity was a little higher-although it didn't win in the end."
Yan Xi stopped interested when he heard something about the Cannes Film Festival. He is a fan of Hollywood blockbusters. Stars, superpowers, and superheroes are his hobbies, and the Cannes Film Festival is accompanied by this name, and it is a literary film.
"What's so good about literary films?"
Xie Ning smiled: "The picture of this movie is very distinctive, I like it very much."
There was a delay at noon, and the hot pot meal ended in the afternoon.
Yan Xi didn't worry about him, so he sent him home, and looked back downstairs again. He was relieved that he didn't see Xu Qing's figure.
Yan Xi also drove to help on the day of the move. Xie Ning didn't have a driver's license, but fortunately, he took some clothes. There was no need to call another moving company. Someone cleaned the room.
After moving things, Yan Xi stayed for dinner and watched this "Monologue" with Xie Ning.
As Yan Xi thought, this is a standard literary film-he can't understand it.
The protagonist of "The Monologue" is a theater actor. The protagonist is very old when the movie opens. The whole movie looks back on his life with his inner monologue.
Yan Xi almost fell asleep several times in the middle, and turned to see Xie Ning's serious expression, did not dare to disturb him, and endured the movie.
After suffering a full 2 ​​hours of mental devastation, Yan Xi complained: "Its pictures are indeed beautiful, but honestly I didn't see the meaning of this movie. I can understand why it is so popular."
"It's normal." Xie Ning nodded. "This is exactly what the director wants."
"The ups and downs of a drama actor's life." Yan Xi shrugged, "artistic films are just like that."
Xie Ning said: "I like the art design of this film very much. The director used it very boldly in terms of composition, shots and tone."
When it comes to fine art, Yan Xi suddenly comes across.
His good friend has no obsessions in his life, only loves art.
Yan Xi got up to organize the disc, and suddenly saw a line of words, surprised: "Huh?"
"The director of this movie is...Zhuang Yan?!"
