Chapter 84
<<"Like enough, whether it is infinitely inclusive or exhausted.">>
When Zhang Xingzhi received Leo's message it was already 12am, he was looking at the messages sent by the children in his class.
In order to settle the quarrel and the interview with the Secretary, Zhang Xingzhi had found a solution by coming to an agreement with the class teacher during the day. It was inconvenient to inform them online and so he thought about gathering the children in the afternoon and hold a class meeting.
The students who took the lead in talking about the video were the ones who fought with their friends. Now they had to apologize publicly to their circle of friends. As for the pictures, all the public posts were deleted, and the college had addressed the situation. He and Zhong Yi sent out relevant announcements to explain the situation about the legitimacy of the "Hot Flow Master" award.
Everything that had to be done, and everything that could be done, had been done. The announcement with the official seal changed the public opinion which had never been too much of a thing that mattered anyways.
The matter about him and Zhong Yi had spread around. The current rumor was waived off as a joke by the students as a guise for saving the reputation of the school...
If it was only Zhang Xingzhi who was treated like that, he would not have cared much but now that he was with Zhong Yi he had to think about it.
He didn't need to look for information everywhere. Only looking at the screenshots sent by the children in the class group got him all of Zhong Yi's personal information.
The students dug out Zhong Yi ’s information from various interviews etc... The only photo of Zhong YI that was on the internet where he hugged Liang Sili on the red carpet was also put out there. There were also the so-called inside stories from the forum.
That's what Yang Youan had told him when they met for the first time that Zhong Yi had a close relationship with Liang Sili and that he relied on sleeping with people.
Zhang Xingzhi had seen Zhong Yi ’s many achievements. After all the years of hard work, all of it was ridiculed at negatively. They had said things and it was no exaggeration to say that it was cyber-bullying, but the students subtly controlled the scope of the violence within the campus, as if this could change the nature of the event and pretended as if it was just something trivial.
Not only he and the 19 photography students, even Dean Jiang who was unable to return from the business trip did his best. He angrily called the Secretary several times and asked him to contact the administrator of Shudong to work with him to ensure that all the mess was cleared.
Zhang Xingzhi hadn’t been pulling Zhong Yi into the group because of this matter, and after he read the message Leo sent him, he was startled.
Leo first sent him a location.
Nowhere else, it was of the hotel opposite to 1977 which was on the hot search during the day.
-"Zhong Yi spent the night here with someone"
-"Anyways, I've been slapped because of him so I can't suffer in vain"
There was a picture after that, but it was too dark, and the picture was taken in a hurry. Only the figure of Zhong Yi who could be slightly recognized in the photo and the other person was intimately leaning on him, he could only notice that the other guy was taller than Zhong Yi and was a man but nothing else could be figured out.
The messages were simple, but only Ji Haochuan knew that Leo was not as cool as he sounded in the words that he typed.
To be honest, when he found out that Leo had decided to let go, he almost thought that Leo really liked his brother until he saw grind his teeth like a "little man".
Ji Haochuan found out later that Leo was a little older than him, but they got along, his social experience was poor, but his muscles were strong.
If this was just for the person whom he liked, Leo's nature was far from this step.
Only for his loved ones.
Only the most cherished relatives can't ignore the existence regardless.
-"I hate Zhong Yi, but I don't lie"
-"If you insist on being with him and say that it’s not true, you can come and find him by yourself"
These were the last two messages that Zhang Xingzhi received from Leo.
Zhang Xingzhi’ s mood was rarely complicated on one hand there was the student matter and the Zhong Yi thing on the other.
He held his phone and looked at it for a long time without knowing how to reply to the picture sent by Leo.
Leo waited in the car for another half an hour before receiving the reply, his brother said.
-"I know you are not lying, go home and rest early"
Zhang Xingzhi went to bed that night, he didn't find Zhong Yi or verify anything, didn't send a message, and didn't call.
He didn't sleep well and woke up at four in the morning.
Zhang Xingzhi laid on his large bed, where he once slept and stared at the ceiling for several seconds before finally deciding to get up.
Last night, he persuaded Leo to go home early and not care about it. When he was on his run, early in the morning the next day he turned towards the direction of 1977.
It took about 20 minutes to drive there by car, and Zhang Xingzhi reached there in half an hour.
He didn't know what he wanted to do after he got there. He entered 1977 at 8 o'clock in the morning. He silently took the towel off his shoulder and went inside. He chose a spot by the door from where the hotel entrance across the street was visible.
At that time, it was just six o'clock, and it was all bright.
Liang Sili had separated from Yang Youan and he hadn't had time to find Xinhuan. As soon as he dropped Zhong Yi last night, he straight up laid down and went to bed early when Ji Haochuan questioned him. Liang Sili opened his eyes the next morning and saw a Yes, there was one more question mark after a sentence.
-"Why can't Yang Youan join the group?"
-"Didn't you two break up ??"
-"Zhong Yi told me, why let go of Yang Youan????
To be honest, Yang Youan would be involved in the group, and Liang Sili himself was the first leader of the prosecution.
Of course, it wasn't that no one told him, but he was used to professional matters and was too lazy to ask any questions.
So, he just scanned all the work groups that were neatly shielded by him and clicked through them to find out. It turned out that after the little fart boy slept in last night he was snoring, Zhong Yi saw that they had roughly booked the auditions for the cast.
After the male gender in the form, Yang Youan's name was written impressively.
In the work group, when Liang Sili turned to four in the morning, Zhong Yi responded to the message in the group, but in fact it was only five o'clock.
Liang Sili thought for a while and tried to call Zhong Yi.
Sure enough, that one picked up quickly.
There was a sleepy sound in Zhong Yi's voice: "You woke up so early?"
If Zhong Yi was sleeping, the phone must be on silent, and it would impossible to get through.
Liang Sili frowned: "Did you stay up all night yesterday?"
"Something...cough...something." Zhong Yi then turned his head and coughed twice. After he returned to his room yesterday, he opened the desktop computer in his room
Liang Sili just realized that this man didn't go home last night because he couldn't sleep even if he went home anyways. So, he simply found a hotel nearby to save his time and effort.
His face was ugly: "I'll pick you up now."
It had been two days and two nights, it had already been 48 hours since Zhong Yi was staying up.
"Good." Zhong Yi's voice was completely dumb. "I’ll wait for you at the hotel entrance."
But he said so, he actually knew that he could not take a rest. It took less than two months to start the group and a small part of the cast had not been figured out yet and the clock was ticking.
According to Liang Sili's idea, he wanted to bring Zhong Yi back to bed and let him sleep. When he got to the crossroads near the hotel, he received a call from Zhong Yi.
"You haven't left yet right? Don't come over." Zhong Yi obviously didn't think Liang Sili would move so fast, he thought that it would take a long time for this person to just get off the bed.
Liang Sili couldn't help but ask: "Why?? Do you need to go to the crew again ???"
After a moment of silence, Zhong Yi stood at the hotel door and said dumbly, "Zou Chao."
Liang Sili stayed quiet for a while and said, "So fast?"
Zhong Yi stroked his forehead: "Well, it's faster than we expected, but he can't always run away, he needs to get stuck over there, the problem of time needs to be solved sooner or later."
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the temperature in Izumi City was lower than Zhong Yi thought. He was wearing only a thin long sleeve. He turned his head to sneeze when he felt cold and the taxi app reminded him that there were three minutes for it to arrive.
Liang Sili: "... What do you think?"
Before answering, Zhong Yi took a deep breath of cold morning air and said, "I have come to this step, and I have no choice."
In the beginning, people always pushed the project away, but later, the project pushed people away.
Zhong Yi could only move forward and not give up.
Zhong Yi laughed: "Actually I am still a little bit uncomfortable, but I can manage."
The red light above his head turned green, and Liang Sili finally compromised: "... there is a liver-protective medicine with the crew, remember to eat it before heading out."
"Okay, the audition for the actors will happen this morning. Can you pick me up at noon." Liang Sili heard Zhong Yi said over the phone, "I want to drink porridge for lunch, I want Chen Ji."
Liang Sili sighed: "I see."
As soon as the phone was disconnected, Zhong Yi was spotted from behind.
Zhang Xingzhi was sitting across the street from the hotel in 1977. Although he was a little far away, he recognized him. Now the guy who stood beside Zhong Yi had a good talk with him and he was the one who chased Zhou Rui that day and Zhong Yi was wearing the same suit that was spotted in yesterday.
If he hadn't felt anything about the child before, he saw that Zhong Yi smiled and pulled the child's arm, then pushed the child into the car, and then sat in with him.
At that moment, while looking at the car leaving the dust behind, Zhang Xingzhi realized that he could not sit still, even if the other party was just a high school student.
He didn't know how to answer the respond to the text sent by Leo. The children in the class asked if the person he was searching for was Zhong Yi, and he didn't know.
In fact, it was time to admit that those indestructible thoughts in his heart had long been cracked.
Not for high school students, not for Yu Jin, or for anyone who might spend the night with Zhong Yi, simply because he couldn't be satisfied with Zhong Yi and never promised him anything about it.
Suddenly, the man who said that he did not care, had disappeared.
A question that has always remained in Zhang Xingzhi’ s heart finally came before him: Like enough, whether he was infinitely tolerant or just exhausted.
But he had seen this more than this one.
Zhang Xingzhi still stared at the already empty hotel entrance through the glass wall and didn't look back. He heard a low male voice: "Did you tell him you came?"
Liang Sili said that after he sat down opposite to Zhang Xingzhi and saw that Zhang Xingzhi only had a glass of lemonade in front of him and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
He had just talked to Zhong Yi's phone and didn't turn around. He originally thought that when he got to the entrance, to just look at him and walk away. How could he not notice Zhong Yi at this glance, but he also saw Zhang Xingzhi who was wearing an unfit sportswear outfit and sitting in 1977?
Zhong Yi stood at the entrance without wearing glasses and could never tell it was him.
Zhang Xingzhi felt that he had already guessed what Liang Sili wanted to do. He slowly said, "It's okay, I can drink."
"Then I’ll order something." Liang Sili said and called the bartender. "Two glasses of fast whisky and pour another glass of water."
Just now Zhong Yi and the little boy next to Zhong Yi, he could tell by a glance, that the child was going to school and Zhong Yi was going to make a roundabout before going to the crew.
But apparently Zhang Xingzhi, who was sitting opposite him at the moment, was unaware, and Liang Sili did not intend to explain.
Since Zhong Yi really felt embarrassed for this person, he simply fed the two people a dose of strong medicine. It was a decision, and it was the last chance for Zhong Yi to apologize, so that they as a group of people could do less work.
Compared to being paranoid, Liang Sili was always better at stopping losses in time.
He looked at Zhang Xingzhi in front of him and said: "What are you up to now, do you think you know Zhong Yi very well?"
In the last few days, a similar question to what Leo had asked was posed in front of him, and then it rang in Zhang Xingzhi's ears, but his mood had changed a lot.
"Or, do you still think you know yourself well?"
The author has something to say:
Note:
Fast drink: Blend without any drink, pure or neat.
Blended with water: can improve the aroma and taste of whiskey.
Teacher Zhong: Don't you have a car? Just grab Zhang Xingzhi and drink?
Mr. Liang: You control me, I love to be a driver.
