Find him in the crowd

Without the school's dormitory and canteen, Xiang Sixi deeply realized what graduation means unemployment.

In fact, he was very lucky. When he was recruiting on campus, he was hired by a company to write scripts full-time.The company only recruited less than ten people in their school. He really thought he was the chosen one, so he resigned from his job in the magazine because of this. He had never written a script, and after half a year of adaptation, he was able to write well. That's it.

There is no remuneration for the days without works, but Xiang Sixi has always been confident in her professional field, but she never expected that she would have to wait in line for the first time to submit a manuscript at the company.All of them graduated from prestigious schools, and even have rich experience, so this little gadget of mine has become worthless.Xiang Sixi was a little flustered, not surprisingly, the first script was so lost, and after a few days, there was an extra bonus for the manuscript, and once the rent was paid, it was the same as if there was nothing.

Xiang Sixi was lost for a few days and then re-created. The result was even worse this time. He didn't even have a bonus fee, and he was beaten back face to face.In order not to be kicked out by the landlord, Xiang Sixi began to make a special trip to write the outline. Although the money is less, the pass rate can be higher and the cycle is short.

Naturally, this is not a long-term solution. I'm afraid that if this mess continues, even such a job will be lost.

Shen Yi couldn't stand it anymore.

"Otherwise, let me help you find a job as an editor. I just happen to be asked for it. The salary may not be much, but it's no problem to support yourself."

"No! I'm going to be a screenwriter, I'm going to take root here, and I'm not going anywhere!"

Shen Yi smiled, "Why didn't I see it before, you still have this backbone."

Xiang Sixi smiled wryly, "I don't have any backbone. If my spine could be sold for money, I would have sold it long ago. I'm not forced by life, I can't help it."

There is indeed another reason. An Mingye's card and Zhao Yunxiu's debts have to be paid off, which is not a small number. They have to rely on dead wages to pay back, and they have to spend most of their lives on it.Xiang Sixi is actually very ambitious, and he really didn't include "stability" in his plan.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Shen Yi couldn't say anything, so he could only give him a few packs of instant noodles. "Take it, it's better than white steamed buns."

Xiang Sixi didn't intend to be polite either, "Great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it, so I bid farewell!"

……

Xiang Sixi's "moonlight" life lasted like this for a year, during which time she went to Shen Yi's to grab instant noodles from time to time.

On May [-]st of this year, I went to He Fei's wedding.He actually didn't want to go, and He Fei didn't invite him viciously.It was a classmate from the club who mentioned this matter, and they were still calling people one by one in the group. Xiang Sixi originally wanted to refuse, but everyone in the group was already standing to discuss how much money is suitable for members.In order to get his money back, he went.

In fact, it was not as embarrassing as imagined, He Fei couldn't see him as he was busy running around.It's boring to compete by yourself, sitting with classmates and eating haysai, and hearing that everyone's life is not satisfactory, Xiang Sixi also feels balanced.

When he came back, Shen Yi laughed at him, "Didn't you make trouble at his wedding?"

Xiang Sixi laughed at the rustic balloon arches and He Fei's red tie at the wedding, and praised "the fish is delicious."

Shen Yi was very relieved, "Just eat it."

That summer, Xiang Sixi knew from some gossip that Mr. Shen had a project on the Silk Road, and he was going to investigate along the route.Xiang Sixi didn't know what was wrong, so he insisted on following him at his own expense, but Shen Yi just thought he was relaxing and didn't stop him.

But Xiang Sixi really didn't want to relax.He had conceived a story before, telling the story of what a young businessman saw, heard, and grew up along the Silk Road.I just took this opportunity to collect folk songs, and Mr. Shen can provide a lot of professional help.The script took half a year to complete.In the end, he dared not submit it for a long time, for fear of sinking into the sea again.

Shen Yi looked at his sad face and found him an investor - Zhao Yunxiu.

The expected Xiang Sixi——

"You can't keep catching this wool, I can't stand it anymore."

Zhao Yunxiu's family doesn't work in the film and television industry. In order to complete the task assigned by Shen Yi, he specially found a friend's company, and he only used it as a personal investment.It's okay if I make money, but if I lose money, I guess my friends can't do it well.

For this reason, Zhao Yunxiu specifically warned Xiang Sixi, "You'd better make sure you don't lose money, or you'll sell yourself to pay off the debt."

Fortunately, except for a certain investor and screenwriter, the other main creators are veterans in the industry and very reliable.After the film was released, the response was good, and Xiang Sixi followed suit, making her official debut in this industry.

Finally earned his first pot of gold.Xiang Sixi stared at the bill and counted it several times to make sure that she counted correctly.The next day, he went to find Zhao Yunxiu in a high-spirited manner.

"Give it back to you."

Xiang Sixi slapped the envelope on the table.Zhao Yunxiu opened it suspiciously, and the neat and tidy Grandpa Mao only remembered what was going on when he saw the small ticket inside.

"Make it up, the extra 20 is the fare."

Zhao Yunxiu became angry when he heard this, "Your family plays Ferrari 20?! Not enough for me to pay for gas."

"Just kidding, kidding, don't be mad."

Zhao Yunxiu was angry, but he accepted everything, and didn't mean to forget it.He is usually not polite to people other than Shen Yi, especially Xiang Sixi.

Xiang Sixi was also quite helpless.Originally, they wanted to hide away, but because of Shen Yi, they often had to get along together, and they knew that they didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.After watching it for a long time, I can actually see some advantages, and it is not as annoying as it appears.

Moreover, Xiang Sixi admired Zhao Yunxiu, because he knew that the two had been dating for more than ten years, yet they still pursued him relentlessly.Later, I found out that the two of them were bamboo horses and bamboo horses, and I respected Zhao Yunxiu even more, as if they were real people.

So in order to get along peacefully in the future, Xiang Sixi planned to help him.

"Let me tell you something, I personally inquired about the gossip."

Zhao Yun repaired his head without raising his head, "What."

"Inquired about the news from Shen Yi."

Zhao Yunxiu became serious, "What?"

"Shen Yi said, 'A friend is the standard of a friend, and a lover is the standard of a lover.'"

Zhao Yunxiu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Just... think about it for yourself."

"What you said is a fart, but you don't even know it."

"I'm not the roundworm in his stomach."

"If you are the roundworm in his stomach, can I keep you? Go, go, I'm still busy."

Xiang Si wants to know the fun and leave.Before going out, he turned back, "You really don't think about whether you offended Shen Yi somewhere? According to his character, he won't make eyebrows at people for no reason."

Leaving Zhao Yunxiu with a puzzled face behind, Xiang Sixi took him to the door and left.

On the way back, I bought a bottle of perfume that I used to use.It was the smell that An Mingye had chosen for him, and it finally came back to him after many years. The smell of the reunion after a long absence aroused the cloudy mist in his heart, looking for the smell to cover his eyes, the sense of smell is infinite The magnification spreads to every cell.

He is addicted to scents.

Zhao Yunxiu didn't know what the result was. Anyway, he was addicted to filming, and the cooperation between the two continued. He became a shareholder of a friend's company and became a decent filmmaker.

But fortune and misfortune depend on each other, we spend more time together, and leave more messages, and even spread the interesting ones, mainly about the domineering president's support and debts, and the content of the small script, which was only spread in a small circle.This is even more troublesome, let's explain it, it seems that people who didn't know it before are even more curious now.If you don't explain it, it spreads more and more.As a result, somehow it got into Shen Yi's ears, and he ran to Zhao Yunxiu's door to ask the teacher for his crimes, and warned him, "Stay away from Xiang Sixi in the future! Don't bring your bad atmosphere to him."

Zhao Yunxiu was puzzled.

Soon Zhao Yunxiu learned the aggressive method from someone who didn't know where, and dragged Xiang Sixi into the water.If you have nothing to do, you will find reasons to go to various public places with Xiang Sixi. There is no intention of avoiding suspicion.Only then did Zhao Yunxiu calm down, buying all those photos and news, and this farce was calmed down.

Afterwards, Xiang Sixi learned a lesson - he still had to stay away from Zhao Yunxiu.The farther the better!

Not long after this incident, Xiang Sixi hooked up with a popular actor.Because they have acted in Xiang Sixi's several plays, they got together naturally.

Shen Yi always felt that he was still immersed in He Fei's affairs and hadn't come out. He was quite happy to know that he had a new relationship.Unexpectedly, half a year later, I saw the scandal between the actor and another actress.Shen Yi only lamented that Xiang Sixi's love life was bumpy, and just after a few words of persuasion, Xiang Sixi said. "We broke up a long time ago."

Shen Yi wondered, "Then who did you go to the movies with yesterday?"

Xiang Sixi: "Well...one, friend."

"A friend who slept with?"

"Not that fast."

"That's the plan."

"..."

"What's your name? What do you do?"

Xiang Sixi felt for a moment that she was talking to her mother.

As soon as the name was mentioned, Shen Yi had even heard of it.The male singer who was drafted two years ago is more famous for his appearance than singing, and he sang the theme song of Xiang Sixi's new film.

Shen Yi felt helpless, "It's up to you, I don't care anyway."

"Then... I'll tell him to forget it."

"Then how do you find the next one?"

……

Xiang Sixi doesn't know what's wrong with him, but he just likes it like this, there is no demand from each other, and no one needs to be responsible for the other.He is obsessed with this kind of relationship, which is like love but not love.It's like knowing that eating too much junk food is bad, but you just can't stop.

Later, Xiang Sixi also participated in the actor's wedding and was his best man.The wedding arrangement was very delicate, with white roses all over the place.Sacred sense of ritual, like a grand funeral.It's just that I don't know what is buried, Xiang Sixi is just melancholy, not too sad.

It was the most chaotic period for Xiang Sixi, but the chaos and contradictions brought him unprecedented thoughts and inspirations. He wanted to get rid of it, but he was also addicted to it.Even with the struggle and anxiety of that period in the works, miraculously, the response was good.The company also set up a special team for him at this time to assist his creation and external image.And all of this made him feel uneasy.It was a mess under the glamorous, don't know how to strangle him to death one day.

Fortunately, he still feels uneasy, and he thinks he should be saved.

Talk to your boss about it.

"I came to you today because of the contract."

The smell of hot coffee brought back Xiang Sixi's wandering thoughts, waiting for Ye Jiwen to continue.

"We have known each other for five or six years, time is really fast. In these five or six years, I feel that you are changing every day. When I first met you, you were still a young student, but your dressing style , it hasn’t changed.”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Ye Jiwen stroked the cup, as if thinking about where to start. "My husband and I have been divorced for five years. I suddenly saw him again the day before yesterday. I was very happy, but he didn't come to see me."

Xiang Sixi suddenly had an idea in his mind, which flashed by.

"You should know him, An Mingye."

Xiang Sixi silently counted the time in his heart.Ye Jiwen said again, "He and I divorced five years ago, but we separated long before that."

"It may be a little too high of myself to say this, but you should come to Yanda specifically to recruit me? Couldn't your company be opened for me, too?" Xiang Sixi's words already had a bit of sexiness in them.

"It's not a special trip for you, but there are indeed reasons for you. In fact, if you didn't come at that time, maybe it's just like that. I didn't expect it, such a coincidence..."

"Blame me." Xiang Sixi felt a little scary, "Why have you kept me by your side for so many years? If I had contact with An Mingye during this period, would you still plan to catch the adulterer? Fortunately, I have no contact with An Mingye. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really have to get out of this circle if this happens."

"No, I didn't mean that." Ye Jiwen quickly explained, a little flustered, "If I were that kind of person, I might as well not tell you, sign a long-term contract with you, and continue to disgust you."

Xiang Sixi thought for a while and thought it made sense, "So."

"I met An Mingye on a blind date. I am also a woman in the new era. I hate blind dates, but to deal with errands, but An Mingye made me feel that blind dates are not so unacceptable. He treats me very well, even in I am very busy in China, and I will regularly find time to return to Canada to date with me, and in order to marry me, I decided to return to Canada."

The more Xiang Sixi heard it, the more frightened he became. It turned out that An Mingye's days of flying back and forth at home and abroad were not for work, but for dating.

"Less than two years after we got married, he filed for divorce. He said he had someone he liked, and he couldn't continue to lie to himself and me. I hated you very much at that time. In my heart, you were the one who destroyed other people's families. The third party. I didn’t know until later that I was the third party.”

"What can I do to you? I just want to see what kind of person he likes. Later, when you were able to be with anyone, I was quite angry. I was not fair for him. It's really stupid."

"You..." Seeing that her eyes were red, Xiang Sixi quickly handed over the tissue, and the anger in her heart flowed away with Ye Jiwen's tears.

"Actually, today, I just want to say sorry to you. You are also a victim. You can't find an answer, and you can't get redemption." Ye Jiwen wiped her tears, "I'll accept the script this time, do you want to be a victim in the future?" Go ahead, it's up to you to decide."

"So, he has treated you like this, and you still want to help him create opportunities?"

"How can I be so kind. It's just that the price he gave is very suitable."

"Then...thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"Ah."

Xiang Sixi didn't know what happened to Ye Jiwen later, whether she was relieved or more entangled.But as she said, they are both victims, and no one can save the other.

Ten years later, An Mingye returned to this apartment.It was very clean, as if someone cleaned it regularly. The furnishing of the room was still the same as when he left, not changing at all, even the coat hanging in the hallway when he left was still there.There are several stacks of money neatly placed in the drawer, each stack has a small amount, tied with a note, and the date is written on it.Xiang Sixi once said that he would pay it back, and it really was a lot.

The perfume he used in the bedroom, unopened and half used, were all neatly placed in the cabinet.The same is true for the clothes in the wardrobe, hang them according to the shade of color.An Mingye couldn't remember what clothes he had bought for him and how much he had spent, but Xiang Sixi must have remembered clearly, even some of the clothes were new and the hang tags were not removed.It must have been too old to return, so I bought a new one.

The so-called compensation that he has been thinking about has become his burden after all.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were Xiang Sixi's favorite place in the past. No matter whether it was winter or summer, he liked to sit on the floor, leaning against the window to read or write, and sometimes he lay down on the floor to sleep when he was tired. Every time, An Mingye carried him back to the bedroom.

The garden outside the window changes the scenery according to the four seasons. Now that I think about it, it is probably the quiet years.

An Mingye imitated Xiang Sixi and sat on the ground. When he looked up, he saw the study on the second floor, where he used to work.

"In ten years I'll be your age."

"Wait for me..."

When the Spring Festival was approaching, Chu Zifan went to participate in a music award presentation, and Xiang Sixi also packed his luggage and went to the neighboring city to participate in the start-up.Because this time the script was not created by himself, and there was nothing he had to do, so he slipped away early.

Luo Rui insisted on sending him to the airport that day, and bid farewell to each other, as if they would never see each other again.But thinking about it again, in a circle, it's not just a matter of meeting each other. In the future, it's really uncertain.It's really sad.

Luo Rui sent him an address, "In the future, if you have something to do, come here to find me. As long as it's not about work, you are welcome-you can come, and Chu Zifan will not bring it."

……

Two childish ghosts.

Xiang Sixi was woken up by Chu Zifan's phone call.Chu Zifan on the other end of the phone shouted angrily that it was snowing heavily over there and the flight was delayed.

Xiang Sixi comforted him, "Postponing is postponing, safety is important."

"But in this way, I can't see you years ago, and I can't take you to the airport. I can't kiss you goodbye."

"Then you pick me up when I come back. It's not a big deal."

"Then do you miss me?"

"Thinking about it, thinking about it to death, thinking about it without thinking about food or tea."

"Liar, you obviously had a drink with Shen Yi yesterday, I've already seen his circle of friends."

……

Shen Yi's studio opened yesterday, Xiang Sixi also went to celebrate.By the way, he brought all kinds of gemstones that he had collected for a year to use as paints for Shen Yi.Having known each other for so many years, Xiang Sixi was actually happier than Shen Yi to finally be able to help him.

"Didn't I think that you can only drink away your worries?"

Chu Zifan chuckled on the other end of the phone, "You are the only one who can speak well."

Xiang Sixi took the afternoon flight home.Before leaving, Shen Yi stuffed him with a bunch of gifts for him to take back.I originally planned to travel lightly, but now I have to carry a suitcase back.

His mother was waiting for him at the airport.The mother who used to not know the way, now can pick up her son at the airport by herself. Xiang Sixi was too busy with work and didn't go home much. I don't know how many times the mother ran back and forth before she knew the way.
