When the phone rang, Yi Chang was still in a chaotic nightmare.

He stood up with difficulty, and found that he was still on the previous bed, covered with a quilt.

He glanced at the phone number, it was his mother calling, and he picked it up right away.

"Hey, mom..."

When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse. The other side of the phone said, "Are you sleeping?"

"..."

He glanced at the time and found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He coughed a few times and said, "You're taking a nap, what's the matter?"

"Oh, actually... Actually, there's nothing wrong, I just want to make a phone call and listen to what you have to say."

He was still a little embarrassed there, but he imagined her shy smile, and his heart warmed up.The two girls were chatting, and they hung up the phone when their mother said they were going to perform in a bar.

He thought of the scene when he heard his mother sing last time, her voice was still so gentle and delicate.

Time passed too fast, but probably God favored him and returned to him the family affection he had lost.Thinking of this, he felt extremely fortunate.

He wanted to stand up from the bed, but the moment he lifted his leg, he felt a sharp pain from below, and the sticky feeling at the back made him feel nauseous.

This feeling is familiar.

The first time with Shen Yusheng was not easy either.Both of them were stunned at the time, he helped each other to mess around, and in the end he deserved to suffer.

Thinking of his childish deeds, he couldn't help smiling wryly.

Sheng Yueze probably left after venting, leaving him lying on the bed half-conscious.When he thought of that moody and perverted man, he felt so frightened that he didn't even have the energy to scold him.

Psychiatrist? ...

Isn't he the one most in need of healing?

He propped himself up and walked out of the room. He saw a sink diagonally opposite, and thought it should be the bathroom.Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot stepped in, a voice behind said: "Wake up?"

After turning his head, he saw that the object of his slander was standing behind him calmly, as if nothing had happened, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He just felt irritated, and walked inside as if he hadn't seen it.

Sheng Yueze looked at the slanted back in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Meet Zhong Ming's crew at night, you can go after packing up."

He turned around, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Meet tonight? Why didn't I know?"

"It was decided temporarily." The other party looked at his legs, "You just happened to catch up."

When sitting in the car, Yi Chang couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He has not been to such a formal occasion for a long time, and he has not been in contact with movies for a long time, and he always feels that all these are far away from him.In addition, the meeting with Peng Xiwen also made him both look forward to and apprehensive.

Sheng Yueze saw his state of mind, and said: "Your shitty things are over long ago, so why worry about them."

He froze for a moment, then thought again that the other party already knew his past well, and it would be futile to explain and cover up.

The meeting this time was still in the clubhouse last time, and it seemed to have become more luxurious in the past half a year.

When he walked to the meeting hall, Zhong Ming happened to be sitting near the door. When he saw Yi Chang, his face showed joy, and then when he saw Sheng Yueze beside him, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he was quickly covered up in a sophisticated way. .

"Great, the distinguished guests are here!" Zhong Ming stepped forward and patted Yi Chang's shoulder, "Finally back. It's not easy, young man."

Yi Chang couldn't hide his excitement, and shook the director's hand vigorously.At this time, a person walked by Zhong Ming's side and extended his hand to him.

"Long time no see, Xiao Chang."

His heart trembled, and he looked up at the gentle face as before.

Peng Xiwen was wearing an intellectual plaid skirt, his hair was neatly pulled behind his ears and tied into a low-key half ponytail, and he was looking at him with a smile at this moment.

He held her hand tightly and said, "Sister Wen, long time no see!"

The discussion started soon, and it was still led by Zhong Ming. He first told everyone about the changes in crew members and shooting plans over the past few months, including changes in actors.

Probably in consideration of Yi Chang's feelings, when it came to the heroine Zhong Ming, he understated it, only mentioned the actor's name, saying that he happened to be out of town for filming today and couldn't make it back in time, so he would tell her alone what he had to explain.

He is very grateful for the director's reservation, but in fact, he can face those things calmly now, and his emotions will no longer be easily affected.

The most important thing for him now is to shoot the show well.

During the conversation, the atmosphere in the team was very relaxed, and even interacted with Sheng Yueze, as if the unhappiness caused by the dispute with Sheng Ye had dissipated.From their words, Yi Chang could hear that this time the investment was still made by the owner of Sheng, and he couldn't help but lament that the changes in the world are really unpredictable.

Zhong Ming would sometimes turn the conversation to the screenwriter, teasing Peng Xiwen for being a busy person, and joked that this time he finally invited her, a big Buddha, to sit in the township, and everyone felt a little more confident.

In fact, the status of domestic screenwriters in a work is generally not very high. Some strong and domineering directors are used to suppressing the power of screenwriters, and do not respect the wishes of screenwriters in terms of plot direction and casting.And Zhong Ming is one of the few exceptions. Although his temper is a little more violent and he is more sophisticated, he has an attitude of striving for perfection in his works. He knows the importance of screenwriting in this, so he shoots His feature films are often well-received and well-received.

Peng Xiwen only smiled at the director's teasing, occasionally opened his mouth and fought back vigorously, and Zhong Ming and Zhong Ming were like a pair of bad friends, making everyone laugh.

During the break, many people went to the nearby teahouse to chat.Yi Chang chatted with an actor next to him for a while, then turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

Sheng Yueze next to him was joking with a female star in the crew, when he noticed that he was looking for someone, and motioned him to look at the balcony: "It's outside."

He followed his line of sight and found that Peng Xiwen was standing on the balcony, as if thinking about something.

He went to pour two cups of tea, then walked up to her and handed her one of them.

Peng Xiwen looked down, smiled at him, and said, "No, thank you. I can't fall asleep easily after drinking tea."

He also smiled and said, "It's just that I can write some more words."

The other party squinted at him and said, "I'm more inspired during the day, and it's not like you don't know it. You just want to harm your sister Wen, right?"

He thought for a while, then nodded apologetically: "It seems to be. It's been too long, and I forgot..."

It has been nearly five years since they last met.

He has experienced a lot and changed a lot in the past few years, and he can see that Peng Xiwen is the same.The torrent of time washed away each other, and their former friendship became so ethereal in the process, as if it never existed.However, the relaxed conversation just now made him believe again that he and Peng Xiwen might be able to return to the time when they were close friends who talked about everything.

"Forget it, give me the tea and cover your hands."

Peng Xiwen turned to him, took the cup in his hand, looked at him with a heavy voice and said: "Xiao Chang, I've heard about your sister. I'm very sorry."

He shook his head, turned around and leaned against the railing: "It's all over."

The breeze in early spring carries a hint of comfortable coolness, gently caressing the tired body, giving people a short-term sense of relief.Yi Chang closed his eyes and said, "Sister Wen, tell me about your years, I'm very curious."

In fact, he has occasionally seen news about Peng Xiwen over the years, such as which school she became a visiting professor, where she gave lectures and book clubs, etc., but because she is relatively low-key and does not like to make publicity, there is very little information, even if he takes the initiative Going to search can only learn a little bit.In the past few years, she has only published one new work, and he also found time to read it, and found that the level was very different from what he expected. He could feel that she didn't have much time for writing.

"My, it's a long story... To put it simply, I'm too busy," Peng Xiwen laughed out loud, and she wasn't used to the young people's language, "My life is so boring, Let's talk slowly when we find time later. I think your matter is more urgent."

"mine?"

At this time, he followed the other party's line of sight and looked into the glass door.

In the meeting hall, a group of people were sitting around a man.The man folded his arms in front of his chest, with an unrestrained smile on his face, as if he was telling some joke, the people around him laughed and fell down, and some clapped desperately.

This is really a person who can be the center of attention no matter where he is, and is also very happy to be the center of attention.

"At the beginning when his assistant came to me and told me about you being recuperated, I felt something was wrong, but today you came here together again." Peng Xiwen looked at him seriously, "I would venture to ask, is there any relationship between you?" Is it the kind of relationship I'm thinking of?"

Yi Chang was startled for a second.He didn't mind her directness, but felt a little hard to say.

"...Yes." He nodded.

The other party's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly recovered his calm: "I think so, he probably isn't your type."

He smiled bitterly, and blurted out: "Then what type do I like?"

"..."

The conversation seemed to hit a sensitive forbidden zone, and the air froze for a second.The buried past poked out again, like a lingering soul, lingering around the two of them.

First, Peng Xiwen broke the silence.

"Xiao Chang, I have heard some things recently, and I know that they may not be true, but my intuition tells me...the relationship between you and Yusheng is very complicated."

After Ye Li's death, the lives of the three of them have been completely separated.Over the years, she has been traveling around, and often went abroad to participate in some activities. It was not until she returned to Shanghai at the beginning of this year that she began to formally integrate into the literary and artistic circle here. It was also because of the opportunity of the movie that she heard about Shengye. rumor.

When she knew Yi Chang's achievements in the past few years, she was really happy for him, but a series of changes followed, which made her feel sorry for the young man.

Those somewhat exaggerated claims about Shengye's young male star's posting of the group's future important successors may be regarded as dubious talk by others, but as a bystander who knows the two of them somewhat, she is really worried. The innocent and persistent boy who was a little crazy may have fallen again.

At this moment, the young man in front of him turned his eyes away, looked at the lights on the other side of the lake, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his eyes were dark.

"No matter what happened between you, what I want to say is that from the standpoint of an elder, what I want to advise you is," she looked at him with concern, "don't choose to let yourself be happy for the sake of immediate benefits and temporary comfort." An unhappy way of being, that's not like the you I know."

The person with his head bowed turned around at this moment. In the darkness, there seemed to be the strong look in his dark pupils that she admired at the beginning.

"Sister Wen, I understand what you mean." Yi Chang raised his head and drank the cold tea in the cup. "The reason why I made this decision is actually a bit complicated. But I am very clear that, I didn't choose this path because I was broken in love, not for the so-called emotional comfort. I know what I want, and I chose the fastest way to achieve my goal."

He looked at the light and shadow reflected on the lake, and his tone was a little lonely: "Your words remind me, maybe... it's just for survival. As for whether you're going to be happy..." He raised the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, I don't care anymore .”

He didn't want to dwell on the decisions he made in the past. Now that he had made them, he would go all the way to the dark, without asking whether he was right or wrong.

Peng Xiwen quietly listened to his words, sighed lightly, and said: "This is your private matter, you can decide for yourself. Just don't forget to keep calm and don't be deceived by appearances."

She looked into the house, "Young master of the Sheng family, I always think it's not easy, so be careful."

"Well, I will," he replied.

At this time, someone poked his head out from the door and said to them, "Hey you two, Director Zhong said you can come in."

"Okay." Peng Xiwen gave him a look, "Go in."

He stood there thinking for a while, then shouted at her back: "Sister Wen!"

Seeing Peng Xiwen turn around, he took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's a little too late, but... about the professor, I'm sorry."

He didn't know why the photo fell into the dean's hands at that time, but no matter what, it was always a thorn in his heart, and he knew that he owed her a formal apology.

The other party frowned and said to him: "Silly boy, you don't know anything about what happened afterwards, why take all the faults on yourself."

"What happened next?" He couldn't wait to know, he took a few steps forward, and looked at her eagerly.

"Actually, I was also wrong at the beginning... Let's talk about it later, as you said, it's all over."

She walked up to him, touched his head, and said, "Xiao Chang, you need to look forward, and we all need to look forward."
