red and white roses together

Ji Congxiao leaned against the wall and stared at the red light on the door of the operating room, pursing the corners of his lips.

At the moment when he held Sheng Huai, the scaffolding on the set fell down suddenly, smashing Director Li and Han Lue in front of the camera. Han Lue was far away, but only injured his arm, while Li The director fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital and directly pushed into the operating room.

"Amber" was not filmed in a covert manner. It happened to coincide with Director Li's birthday. Reporters were already guarding outside the crew, and ambulances and police cars rushed in. Such a big event must not be hidden.

Right now, the assistant directors, Sheng Huai and Han Lue are coming forward to appease the reporter and try to control the situation.However, the effect is not good.After all, the fallen scaffolding is still there, and the location is clear at a glance, so you don't need to guess to know what happened.

Now that it has been spread on the Internet, many people are guessing what happened to Director Li, what should the crew of "Mute" do, and some people are even guessing whether it was an accident or man-made.

Not only on the Internet, but even investors can't sit still.Along the way, the producer's cell phone rang several times, and without exception they were all asking about the specific situation. These businessmen said they cared, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were evaluating the feasibility of continuing to invest.Many people in the crew are already panicking.

Ji Congxiao stood at the end of the corridor, and just sent Qiao Yi, who had already had a fever, to hang himself.He looked at the red light at the other end that hadn't changed in the slightest, frowned and found a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Although he couldn't smoke, the smell really made him relax.

After an unknown amount of time, the cigarette he was biting was pulled out by someone, and the wall beside him supported the figure of the other person.

"How's it going?" Ji Congxiao asked Sheng Huai.

"It depends on Director Li's situation." Sheng Huai shook his head, and put the cigarette confiscated from Ji Congxiao under his nose. The smell that he hadn't touched for many years still kept refreshing.

Looking at the plain white ceiling, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Facing the unexpected again.

The unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the hospital poured into his nostrils, and he instantly remembered the biting coldness in the hospital back then.

His brows were furrowed, his muscles tensed.

Immediately, the plain white ceiling was covered by someone, and a shadow blocked the glare of the light, and stood in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Congxiao asked.

He clearly felt that something was wrong with Sheng Huai.

Sheng Huai didn't answer.

"Brother Sheng?"

He shouted again, and raised his hand to touch Sheng Huai's forehead.

Before touching the end of the hair, someone grabbed his wrist.Sheng Huai smiled at him: "It's okay."

His smile was a little pale, obviously not the truth.But he didn't want to say it, and Ji Congxiao didn't ask too much.Just stood aside, holding the lighter on and off.

The air was really oppressive, Han Lue at the other end of the corridor signed another critical illness notice, Sheng Huai tugged at his collar, and finally couldn't bear the dead atmosphere.

"I don't like hospitals."

"I see."

He opened his mouth abruptly, but Ji Congxiao answered it smoothly, obviously paying attention to him all the time.Sheng Huai looked up at the young man who was leaning against the opposite wall and staring intently, the corners of his lips curved.After opening the first sentence, it will be much easier to say the next words.

"My parents, one is a tuner and the other is a violinist. I inherited their talents and followed in their footsteps. From the very beginning, I planned my future path, entering a conservatory of music, and then studying abroad. In the end, which band to stay in, domestic or foreign. Entering an acting circle was never in my plan, it was just an accident, but there are too many accidents in my life.”

Ji Congxiao paused and looked up at him.

Sheng Huai's resume has been exhausted a long time ago. A top student at the Conservatory of Music, a closed student booked by a world-renowned master, and a reserve member of a major orchestra, everyone thought that his path should be as he said just now. general planning.But no one knows why this top student in the field of classical music suddenly joined the acting circle, abandoned everything in the past, gave up the olive branch of a world-class palace, and even the cello that he once loved no longer...

He was also curious before, but he also knew that this was a past that Sheng Huai didn't want to mention, so he never mentioned it.Didn't expect to get an answer here.

"In my senior year, it is a tradition in the Conservatory of Music that every graduate will hold a personal recital. My parents traveled thousands of miles from a foreign music festival just to attend the first recital in my life."

"However, when I sent them away, on the way to the airport, the taxi driver was driving tired—"

The words came to an abrupt end, and Sheng Huai took a deep breath.

Needless to say, Ji Congxiao can guess what happened afterwards.Pursing the corners of his lips, he took a step forward and raised his hand to hold Sheng Huai's forearm.

Sheng Huai raised his eyes, and the worried face of the young man was reflected in his pupils. Suddenly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he was wrapped in his arms.Burying his head on his neck.

Ji Congxiao froze in place.After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to wrap his arms around his back, stroking and comforting him carefully.He didn't care if someone saw it, and he didn't care what kind of storm it would be if it spread out. He only saw the fragility and pain hidden in the past of the man in front of him. He only knew that Sheng Huai needed His reassurance.

The fingertips patted along the back, again and again, methodically soothing.At the same time, what was straightened out was also his emotions that he couldn't explain clearly.

Worried about what the other person said, worried about his pain, didn't want him to recall the bleak past, didn't want to see him sad, didn't want to see such an expression again...

To get to the bottom of it, there are only two words——

Distressed.

Ji Congxiao lowered his eyes where Sheng Huai could not see.

Something, out of control.

Sheng Huai hugged the person, his arms tightened subconsciously, the past still continued in his mind.

The fragmented front of the car covered his parents' bloody and mottled bodies, and... the biting coolness in the mortuary.

And, the serious sequelae left over for a long time afterwards——

I dare not go to the hospital, no matter how seriously ill I am; I dare not stay alone, otherwise I will see the pale and lifeless faces of my parents, and the eyes full of blood when I opened my eyes after the car accident; I dare not get in the car, all All travel can only rely on the subway or walk.

The same place, the same scene, everything that happened today can easily wake up the nightmare of the past.But fortunately, not alone.

He tightened his arms, closed his eyes, let the darkness replace the plain white, and let the lemon scent from the tip of his nose dispel the smell of disinfectant.

The two hugged against a small recess in the stairwell at the end of the corridor, their overlapping shoulders exposed beyond the shelter of the wall.As long as the people outside the operating room on the other side of the corridor look back, they can see their actions clearly.

It's just that all the people's thoughts were in the operating room, only Han Lue, after calling home, accidentally glanced over here, was startled suddenly, and then quietly covered the two of them.

……

I don't know how long it took before Ji Congxiao felt the strength around his waist loosen, and he couldn't help touching his hair from the side: "Is it better?"

"En." Sheng Huai replied in a low voice.

He was not as serious as Ji Congxiao thought, the sequelae were quite serious back then, but that was only at the beginning.

People always have to grow, and it is impossible to stay in the past forever.

Many years ago, he was able to face everything he was afraid of naturally.There is no fear in going in and out of the hospital, and there is no fear of living alone in a huge villa, and the only thing is driving. If he can choose, he will try his best to control himself instead of handing over the driver's seat.

This time today, it is indeed just an exception.The situation was too coincidental, and it was just a sudden nightmare.

Unexpectedly, it frightened the children.

Sheng Huai relaxed his body, resting his chin on Ji Congxiao's shoulder, giving most of his body strength, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.Children don't like to use perfume very much, and they don't have any smell on their bodies. It wasn't until such a close distance that they smelled a very light lemon fragrance. I don't know if it is the fragrance of laundry detergent or shower gel.

It is fresh and natural, but it has a homey taste that makes people not want to let go.Especially knowing that after letting go, what you need to smell is the smell of disinfectant that you don't like at all.

……

Ji Congxiao put on the sunglasses mask, looked at himself whose face was covered by the glasses, and finally put on a baseball cap.

Director Li's operation was very successful, and he is now out of danger and transferred to a general ward, but after all, he injured his spine and must stay in bed to recuperate.It can't be recovered for a year or a half.

The filming of "Amber" is bound to stop, but the person is still there, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

Early this morning, Director Li's wife had already arrived here, and all the affairs of the crew were explained, and everything was on track and handled in an orderly manner.Although Han Lue is a nephew, he also has a movie in the works, so it is impossible to stay here for a long time.Seeing that there was nothing that needed help, he booked a flight ticket for tonight according to the original plan, and returned with Ji Congxiao.

"What are you going to do?" Ji Congxiao turned to look at Qiao Yi who was standing behind him in a daze.

Qiao Yi was brought back to his senses by him, and smiled at him: "Go back to film Lei drama, I have to make a living, and I have to treat you to a big meal."

Ji Congxiao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and suggested, "I still have the script..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Qiao Yi.With a slight smile, the friend raised his hand to interrupt him, as firm as ever.

"It's only a year, I can afford to wait." Qiao Yi patted Ji Congxiao on the shoulder.

Early this morning, when they went to visit the doctor, Director Li said, I'm sorry for these actors, and they don't need to be bound by a contract. Those who want to terminate the contract can go, and those who are willing to stay, just wait for him for a year.

This statement, in fact, is nothing but empty words.It is said to be one year, but the human body cannot be accurately estimated.What's more, a year is such a long time, and there are too many changes.Who knows what the situation will be like at that time, it may not be possible to shoot.But the people in the circle are all good people, one by one said yes on the spot, but in fact they all have a wait-and-see attitude.Only Qiao Yi and Sheng Huai agreed.

One is desperate and puts all hopes on this movie.

One is due to temperament, thinking about the kindness of Bole back then.

Ji Congxiao knew that he couldn't convince him, so he just sighed, turned around and gave him a hug, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Then you have to work harder, the big meal I want is not something ordinary people can afford. "

Qiao Yi laughed and nodded in response.

……

When Ji Congxiao came, there were several boxes of snacks in a big backpack, and when he left, he only took his mobile phone and wallet, and of course, the clothes that Qiao Yi had brought along.

With one hand in his pocket, he wandered to the parking lot alone, opened the door and got on the co-pilot.

Han Lue said that he had found someone to take them to the airport, and the license plate number had already been sent over.

There was Han Lue's bag on the back seat of the car, and the door was not closed, so he didn't know where he went.Ji Congxiao didn't care, opened the car window, took out a cigarette and lit it, squinted his eyes into the void, and began to puff.

A hand stretched out from the open car window and squeezed the cigarette between his fingers.Ji Congxiao paused, then turned around to see Sheng Huai leaning sideways against the car door, just putting out his cigarette.

"It's not good to smoke too much, children eat candy."

Originally, it was just a coaxing talk, but there was really a lollipop in Sheng Huai's open palm.Ji Congxiao couldn't help laughing, and he was not polite, he took it apart and stuffed it into his mouth.With his arms resting on the car window and his jaw resting on it, he bit the candy and mumbled, "I thought you should be in Director Li's ward right now."

"That's why you didn't tell me to leave?" Sheng Huai asked back.

Ji Congxiao pulled out a smile: "There will always be a time to meet."

Sheng Huai didn't say much to him. After rubbing his hair, he turned around and got into the driver's seat.

Not a while after he got into the car, Han Lue also rushed over, looked at the two people in front of him, and said, "It's all here? Driver Sheng, let's go!"

Ji Congxiao: "..."

When did these two become so familiar?

Before he could ask, Han Lue brought up the business first, asking Sheng Huai about his future plans.

Shenghuai's situation is special. It has returned after several years of silence, and it is just a matter of relying on its old roots to maintain such popularity.Like all comeback artists, he needs an excellent work to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry again.Originally there was "Amber", so it was bound to be foolproof.But it must be hopeless now, or after a year... the day lily will be cold.

Holding the steering wheel firmly, Sheng Huai drove out of the parking lot and mixed into the traffic before releasing a shocking news.

"I took a small role abroad last year, and I sent a message a few days ago that I was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor in a certain A-category international film festival."

Han Lue: "..."

Ji Congxiao: "..."

The author has something to say:

ps: Can you see the process of enlightenment now?

pps: I have something to tell you. The author is going to go out for a short trip with his friends tomorrow, so the manuscripts for the next few days will be archived, and the comments and replies will probably be spared.

But that's not the point, the point is - I'm probably going to run out of manuscripts in the past few days! ! !It also means that when I come back, I can’t guarantee daily updates, because there will be an important exam in the second half of the year, and I have to devote myself to it. I don’t know how much time I can squeeze out every day to write, and how fast my hand can be, so... ...emmmm, if the little angels still like it, they can keep it for fattening, I won't cheat.Of course, it's normal if you want to leave. Thank you for accompanying me all the way here.

Bow, love you~
