red dust upside down

Everyone fell asleep on the plane back. People who are used to being on the set just returned to the bustling world, and they often feel uncomfortable. What's more, facing the hustle and bustle of pick-up fans, even Huang Lei, who was in charge of this aspect, also felt uncomfortable. I couldn't handle it, and I was still complaining to Luo Wei when I got in the car: "I almost squeezed out one of my shoes."

The center of the eye of the storm must be Li Shang. He used to have a black face when he went to the airport. He was originally a face with a sense of distance. Some of them are Ye Gong and good dragons. After all, no one is a masochist, and stars who are good to fans are more popular.So it took Rita a long time to grind him back, and now she occasionally greets fans.

However, today he seems to have stepped back three years ago, with a frighteningly cold face, but fortunately, the fans don't feel it after a long absence.Huang Lei and the others didn't dare to say it, after all, the agent had been responsible for talking about it before.

It's not that Su Rong didn't notice it, but he thought that Li Shang just didn't sleep well on the plane, and it was only once, so it won't be too late next time.And his attention was actually mostly attracted by wheat.

Wheat doesn’t know what’s wrong today, she’s been feeling uncomfortable all the time, she’s making a lot of noise, it’s not the kind of quarrel, it’s just a little humming, she doesn’t like doing anything for him, Su Rong puts on clothes for him when he leaves in the morning He didn't cooperate with the shoes at first, he kept twisting into Su Rong's arms, and he didn't catch a cold after taking his temperature. Su Rong thought he didn't sleep enough, but he fell asleep on the plane and drove back to the company. Happy, twisting and turning on the safety seat, stopped playing with toys, and seemed to be sulking.

But this day was really busy, I sent Li Shang to the rehearsal as soon as I got off the plane, and I was still late—I haven’t been back to Beijing for a long time, and I forgot how bad the traffic jam was. I have a cold and almost get motion sickness.After finally sending Li Shang there, the director over there smiled and said, "It's all right, it's fine when we arrive, this time the stage positioning is a bit complicated..."

As soon as Su Rong said this, Su Rong knew that the schedule would basically be in the afternoon, and an event was scheduled in the evening. It was the annual meeting of the brand endorsed by Li Shang. It was said to be a blue blood brand. In fact, no matter how big a luxury brand is in China, it will also be localized. It's like saving face and being lively. The head of the Asia-Pacific region personally rolls the name and asks Li Shang to help support the stage.

So he left Li Shang in the rehearsal of the party, leaving Huang Lei with him, and went to the annual meeting of the brand to see the venue and the process. The more private events are, the more cautious and careful they are, because it is easy to relax, and in fact, the exposure is every minute As for the matter, last year Xia Yi was called by his family's financial backer to go to the internal annual meeting, but he was coaxed to drink a cup of wine, and even recorded a video and posted it on the Internet, wearing thin clothes. Later, Xia Yi's family spent nearly eight yuan to buy the video. number.

After checking the process, I exchanged greetings with the person in charge of the brand. It seemed to be a joke, but it was actually a clear boundary, so that he would not let the host do any impromptu programs, give out benefits, and invite female fans of Lishang to come up for interaction. Class, so as not to make everyone lose face.The person in charge obviously also knew Li Shang's "heavy reputation" in the industry, and said with a smile, "How dare I, it's almost as good as lending me two guts."

After finishing this, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the company. Su Rong finally had time to sit down and eat. It's not that I've arrived at the company, Su Rong said yes, and she came over with a smirk.

At that time, Su Rong didn't know why, but after eating, she went back to her office and saw a bunch of flowers on the table.

This time it is light color, the color is very fresh, a little more approachable, there are green apple-colored hydrangeas, cotton and milky white roses, and there are candies and macarons inside. Su Rong thought it was for decoration, but ended up making a The petals are really edible, and the flowers are also interesting, they don't look like flowers, Su Rong pulled out a petal and checked it, it should be the eternal flower.

Huang Lei was still babbling about how this bouquet of flowers can be stored properly, Su Rong felt a headache seeing it, so she went to find Mai, who was playing in the trainee dormitory upstairs, this wave of trainees is about to debut, maybe The dormitory has been refurbished, it is very beautiful, and there is a big bookshelf, but unfortunately no one reads the books, Mai now has what Su Rong used to be, walking freely in the building of Baili Media, Think of this dormitory as a library.

But Maimai was still unhappy today, Su Rong searched for a while and he couldn't find him, but found him hiding in a utility room, fighting with toy soldiers by himself muttering.

"What did you have for lunch?" Su Rong stroked his head smoothly: "How about going down to play, there is too much dust here."

Mai Mai didn't say good or bad, he still looked awkward before, he didn't seem to be angry with Su Rong, because Su Rong touched his head, he came over and hugged Su Rong's leg without saying a word.Su Rong has always been good at getting along with children. Ordinary people like children because of their good temper. He really has a child's perspective. Adults may find it funny to know that Mai Mai's entanglement, but it must be a big deal in his heart, so he doesn't Urging him, he simply squatted down and played with him for a while before asking him: "Can I carry you down?"

Although Mai Mai was still awkward, she still wanted to be carried, hesitated for a moment, and lay on his back.

Su Rong carried him downstairs, and everyone in the company joked on the way: "How old is Wheat, and I have to recite it, sorry." He just smiled, and Wheat listened, and silently buried her head on his shoulder.He has been raised by Su Rong for more than a month, and he is still as thin as a little monkey. In fact, Su Rong didn't intend to spoil him, but he always feels surprised when he faces children. Such thin arms and legs are so light. It will break if it is lightly dropped. In such a huge and dangerous world, such a small and fragile creature has to go through so many difficulties before it can grow up to adulthood without incident. He can hardly remember how he spent those long hours. It's been ages, and my heart softens just by seeing a child.

There were fewer people in the elevator at this point, Su Rong deliberately called him: "Maimai will help brother press the floor."

Mai Mai was actually obedient, so she obediently stretched out her hand to press the floor, the lights in the elevator were bright, Su Rong deliberately did not look at the mirror image on the wall, and asked him softly with her head tilted: "Can you tell me why you are unhappy, brother?"

After he asked, Maimai didn't speak for a long time, just when he thought that Maimai would not answer, he heard Maimai on his back whispering: "Why do you want to be my brother?"

"Because I like wheat." He replied instinctively, and couldn't help being startled after he finished speaking.

He understood what wheat was asking.

The company has heating, and he wears very thin clothes, so he can clearly feel the temperature of the wheat sticking to his back. When a child trusts him wholeheartedly, he can actually feel it too. Su Rong never knew before that it was a Such a huge responsibility.

"Then who does Xiaomai want me to be for you?" He heard his own voice asking a little nervously.

Mai Mai didn't answer for a long time, but Su Rong waited patiently until the child on his back whispered the reason for his entanglement and pain.

He said, "I want you to be my father."

After putting Mai Mai to sleep, Su Rong called Lin Sa and said, "I'm free now." Lin Sa was also straightforward, and said directly, "Then I'll come down now, and wait for me at the old place."

The old place is not any other place. Just behind the factory of Baili Media, there is an open space surrounded by discarded machines. There is a small door to go through. There is rust everywhere. No one will come here if they have nothing to do. This is Su Rong’s secret. base.Long before Li Shang appeared, when Baili Media was just established, there was still a large abandoned factory building below, and Su Rong had already found this place.In fact, Lin Sa hadn't been here much before - he left directly from Huatian when he left, and their senior brother's "old place" was actually in a utility room in Huatian Building.But after returning, Su Rong showed him this place immediately.

When he came down, he saw Su Rong smoking a cigarette standing beside the barbed wire.

He came back late and didn't know the process of Su Rong smoking and quitting smoking, so it was the first time he saw Su Rong smoking, but he didn't ask more questions, Su Rong didn't speak, and glanced at him, Lin Sa came down with a box .

On a windy day in Beijing, people always have the urge to hide. The paper is easily blown away when it is taken out. The two formed a semicircle behind an unknown machine. Lin Sa dumped the documents in the box, and Su Rong Ignite the fire, the orange flame flickers, and the paper full of characters is ignited at one point, and soon a raging fire is ignited. The thick stack of paper rolls up from the corner, and soon becomes charred, cracked, and is blown by the wind. Rolled up to the sky, and then smashed to pieces.

The two of them didn't speak during the whole process, during which Su Rong found a stick and pushed the stacked papers apart - it was too thick to be burned through.As soon as the stick was flicked, the flames brightened immediately, and countless small sparks flew up like fireflies. The fiery temperature was like an invisible hand, stroking people's cheeks. This scene was like an ancient sacrificial ceremony.

"Does it look like burning paper money?" Lin Sa was still in the mood to joke.

Su Rong still didn't speak, he was always a little careless, it was rare to be so concentrated, staring at the fire, as if he had a grudge against this pile of documents, he wanted to see them burned clean to be happy.

In fact, they all knew that what Lin Sa burned was not paper money, but the past seven years of his life. The so-called seven years of the youngest life were just a flick of a finger.Lin Sa is an elegant person, he doesn't think it's a pity, but Su Rong can't.

"Today Xiaomai said that he wants me to be his father." Su Rong said suddenly.

"That's a good thing, it means the kid loves you."

Su Rong didn't speak, he was like wheat sometimes, he had to be patient enough to say what was tormenting him in his heart.

"Last time, Li Shang joked with me that Mai Mai was my son. I said no, and he said I was stupid. I didn't understand at the time." He stared at the fire, and finally said: "It turns out that he knows Mai Mai better than me."

Lin Sa could understand him.

Many people were surprised by Su Rong's adoption of Mai. They were not surprised by the fact that he adopted a child. This is normal. Su Rong was just repeating the process of Vincent's adoption of him, but why wheat?Huang Lei asked, Pei Yin asked, even Tong Xiaojia was curious, but even Lin Sa didn't understand at first, until he saw Mai Mai's angry look.

Why does Li Shang know more about wheat than Su Rong, because he used to be wheat.Most of the abused children will become frightened birds, and some of them, because of their high talents or tenacious minds, will grow up quickly and erect thick walls. Evolving into a whole new person, someone stronger than their abuser, smart and cold, scoffing at the world, playing with the world...

So Li Shang knew what Mai Mai wanted at a glance.So Su Rong couldn't help adopting Mai. He couldn't go back to the streets of New York ten years ago, and find the Li Shang who ran away from home and slept in a cardboard box. This thought tormented him day and night, so he instinctively used all his love and patience to go Making up for wheat is not for proof, not for regret, but just to feel better when thinking about Li Shang back then.

He has no way not to forgive Li Shang, because Mai Mai is here, every moment, explaining why Li Shang became what it is today.The defense he had worked so hard to build could be defeated by a word. He is a soldier who has discarded his helmet and armor, a fish waiting to be slaughtered.

"Brother, how did you make up your mind to end all of this?" Su Rong asked softly.

After Lin Sa came back, Su Rong never asked this question, but just like that phone call, as long as he asked, Lin Sa would answer.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a normal day. I got up that day and had breakfast in the kitchen. I remember it very clearly. It was a sunny day, and the kitchen floor was full of sunlight. As I was eating, I suddenly felt that I wanted to leave. , and then left, Xiao Su happened to be promoting outside at that time, we didn’t meet or quarrel, we just thought we should leave. So when we came out, we didn’t bring anything, only a card and a mobile phone.”

"Do you think you can't take it anymore?"

"No," Lin Sa paused, as if thinking of a more appropriate way to say it: "Actually, it's more like a will to survive, just like you want to drown yourself in the bathtub, but in the end you can't help but emerge. Like the surface of the water. It should have triggered some kind of self-preservation mechanism deeper in my heart."

"Do you think I will have this kind of self-preservation mechanism?"

Lin Sa obviously didn't know the answer to this question, but he was silent for a long time, and then said: "I will be your self-protection mechanism."

Su Rong didn't speak, just came over, hugged Lin Sa like hugging a tree, put his forehead on his shoulder, he was still holding the fire poking stick in his hand, this scene probably won't be too much nice.

But Lin Sa just patted his head comfortingly.

"Want to do something fun?"

"What's the matter?" Su Rong said in a muffled voice.

"The paper money is burned out, we can burn something else."

In fact, Su Rong is still timid. When he heard about burning other things, he looked eager to try. When Lin Sa took him up to the third floor, opened the door of the studio, and took out the clothes inside, he didn't dare at all. The mess came up, and Lin Sa was persuaded: "Don't burn it, it took a lot of hard work to get it done."

Lin Sa laughed when he heard it: "So it's hard to watch the design work?"

"Then don't burn it."

"I want to overthrow and redo, it's useless to keep it, and it also restricts thinking."

"Then at least keep this one, and this one, this one is also fine..." Su Rong herself felt that the more she said it, the more shameful she was, so she remedied it: "It's better to give it to me than to burn it."

What he was holding were all heavy handmade evening dresses, silk fabrics, beaded crepe, layers of taffeta, brocade Japanese satin... Lin Sa was amused by him: "Why, you want to wear a skirt?"

"I keep the useful ones..." Su Rong just insisted: "Aren't you going to hold a design show? If you redo so much, let alone spring and summer, you won't be able to keep up with autumn and winter."

"If you can't make it, then next season." Lin Sa smiled and said, "I just figured it out. It doesn't matter what wearability is. It's meaningless to be in a hurry to make fashionable fashion. If you don't be down-to-earth, you won't be down-to-earth. It's just as elegant as death. If you don’t go out, you won’t be able to sell it, and you’ll starve to death. I was also scared by Zacposen. Now that I think about it, it’s boring. In fact, I hesitated because of this seven years ago. I haven’t changed it for seven years. I just didn’t change it .”

Lin Sa's design style is like him, with romanticism in his bones. When he was studying design, his idol was John Galliano of Dior.In fact, this time when he came back Su Rong also felt that his style was much simpler, not as gorgeous and romantic as before, and more everyday.Of course, it is more suitable to be a personal ready-to-wear brand. After all, it is said that ten thousand is ten thousand, and customers pay the bill, and they have to wear it when they buy it back.Besides, the entire fashion industry is now bowing to fashion brands, and blue blood brands that have been around for hundreds of years are also taking on the street style. Lin Sa's show is actually looking for investment to build a personal brand, so naturally he has to consider the consequences.

But Su Rong didn't expect him to endure until the end, and he still failed. Knowing that he was serious, he couldn't help hesitating a little, hugging his clothes and not talking.

Lin Sa saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these are the products of my compromise. I will burn these and make more beautiful ones for you to play with."

"Really?"

"real."

So the two returned to the fire, but this time the things burned were much more precious than the documents. Lin Sa felt a heartache when he threw a suit of Su Rong, and his brows became more and more wrinkled. The ice melted and the snow melted, and the smell of burning silk would never be forgotten. Maybe it was because of the extreme distress. Su Rong was a little dazed. Looking at Lin Sa's face, she vaguely remembered what he looked like back then.

In fact, he hasn't changed in the past seven years. He is still the same Lin Sa who is free from worries and wild cranes. He comes and goes, and there are some things that only he can do. What about handmade custom evening gowns?But having said that, burning trendy brands has no such effect, because it is expensive but not beautiful, and burning [-] T-shirts is not as good as the sight of brocades that can only be woven a few inches a day burning in the fire.

Such a strange and rare scene can really stimulate people's cognition, Su Rong felt inspired to watch it, and after this scene, he can also design some clothes.

"In this way, maybe Meixi is also a designer." Lin Sa joked while watching.

Su Rong didn't accept the joke, in fact he didn't understand it either, he was thinking about other things.

The fire not only gave Lin Sa courage, but probably also gave him the courage to stand firm without breaking through. The red light of the fire reflected on his face, as if the expression in his eyes was also changing.

"Li Shang is still sending me flowers." He said suddenly.

"I know."

"Last time he said that I deliberately didn't sleep with him to catch him. I thought about it for a while, and it might be because I subconsciously felt that he would lose interest after having sex with me, so Don't dare to gamble..."

He just stared at the firelight, and didn't see Lin Sa's sharp eyes when he heard his first words, only knew that Lin Sa didn't interrupt him.

"Last time I said that I slept with Li Shang, but you said it was still far away." He turned to look at Lin Sa seriously and said, "How far is it, brother, teach me."
