In the Ice Blue Bar, the voices of people were as loud as ever, and the people were drunk.

In the VIP room, Jian Ningze poured spirits into his mouth one cup after another. Zheng Yihang, who was sitting by the side, didn't step forward to stop him, just watched Jian Ningze drink for himself.

After a while, the door of the room was pushed open, and a figure walked in.Jian Ningze looked up and saw that it was Chen Zixi.

Seeing that Chen Zixi had arrived, Zheng Yihang stood up from the sofa, "If you don't come again, I'm really afraid I can't help but beat him up." Zheng Yihang walked towards the door while saying, "Don't persuade him to drink less, drink It's better to be dead, so as not to make people look uncomfortable."

After Zheng Yihang went out, Jian Ningze poured himself another glass of wine, "Why are you here?" He asked Chen Zixi.

"Ihang called me."

Jian Ningze didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

Chen Zixi also poured himself a glass, "What's the point of drinking alone, I'll accompany you." As he spoke, Chen Zixi drank all the wine in the glass to the bottom.

"Ningze, wake up, I bought your favorite crab noodle soup dumpling, Ningze..."

"...Ran Ran? Ran Ran, are you back?"

Opening his eyes suddenly, Jian Ningze sat up from the bed. He looked around to find the figure that haunted him, but the huge space was as empty as ever.

He raised his hand and squeezed the space between his eyebrows. He drank too much wine yesterday.

After getting out of bed, Jian Ningze went into the bathroom and took a shower.

After the bath towel was used up, Jian Ningze casually placed it beside the sink.Suddenly, the familiar voice sounded again.

"Jian Ningze, you're like this again, throwing towels away every time you take a shower."

Turning back to the bathroom, Jian Ningze picked up the bath towel and put it in the laundry basket.

The past flashed in Jian Ningze's mind frame by frame like a movie shot, and those once beautiful things can only drive people crazy now.

Qi Ran, should I hate you?

It should be hated.

But why are there only four words in my mind?

I miss you so much.

After the film and television project discussion meeting, Qi Jia returned to the office and just put a stack of documents on the desk when he heard the phone ring.She glanced at the caller ID, a set of strange numbers, like a foreign phone number.

"Hi, hello, I'm Qi Jia."

"Miss Jia..."

Hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Qi Jia was stunned for a moment, and she asked in disbelief, "Xiao Ran?"

"it's me."

"Where are you?" Qi Jia hurriedly asked.

"I'm in Canada."

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Qi Ran smiled helplessly, "If I say goodbye, can I still leave?"

After hearing Qi Ran's words, Qi Jia also sighed helplessly.

"Ning Ze... how is he doing?"

"As a manager, I think he is doing well. He works hard every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is working hard. But as a sister, I think he is doing very badly." Qi Jia said honestly. "Xiao Ran, can I ask why you left Xiao Ze?"

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, "Ning Ze's dream has always been to become a good actor and make good works. I don't want him to give up his dream and even lose his family because of me. If that's the case, I would rather disappear from his life."

It's not that Qi Jia didn't guess Qi Ran's good intentions, but when she heard Qi Ran's words with her own ears, she still felt a pain in her heart, for both Qi Ran and Jian Ningze.

"Then what are your plans for the future?" Qi Jia asked Qi Ran.

"Study, I applied for a postgraduate program in communication at the University of Victoria."

Hearing what Qi Ran said, Qi Jia finally felt a little comforted, "It's a good plan, sister Jia supports you."

"Thank you, Miss Jia."

one year later

After several scenes were filmed, Jian Ningze returned to the nanny's car to rest. He picked up the cigarette case and found that there was only the last cigarette left in it.

"Lele, go and buy some cigarettes and come back."

"Ah? Still buy it?" Lele showed a look of embarrassment, "Brother Ze, you are smoking too much now, aren't you? In the past, Teacher Qi was still able to control you, but now you are really..." Halfway through, Lele Le suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he stopped and stood there awkwardly.

Jian Ningze didn't seem to hear anything, but he smiled lightly, "It's okay, there is a big night scene to be filmed tonight, smoking a cigarette will refresh you, go."

"Oh." After hearing Jian Ningze's order, Lele, who was about to regret it, quickly opened the car door and fled.

Jian Ningze took out the last cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a deep breath.

The smoke lingered in the car, like years of pain that lingered for a long time.

"Qi Ran, I have something to do and I won't be able to attend the editing and directing class tomorrow, can you lend me your class notes later?"

"No problem, I'll email the notes to you after class tomorrow."

"Thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner later, bye." After waving to Qi Ran, that classmate walked out of the classroom first.

Just as Qi Ran put away his books and was about to get up, the phone rang. He took the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Why is Mr. He calling me today when he is free?"

"How are you doing in class?"

"Very good. We have a very good professor who won a Pulitzer Prize this semester. I am busy doing some projects with him every day."

"Then you have to take some time out of your busy schedule."

"..." After hearing He Zhimo's words, Qi Ran was at a loss.

"Ruichen and I will go to your place to register for marriage next month."

"Really?" A look of surprise appeared in Qi Ran's eyes instantly, "Then I have to prepare a red envelope."

"Not only do you have to prepare red envelopes, but you have to make arrangements for me to understand all the food, drink and fun."

"Don't worry, I promise you will have fun with Lao Zhou."

"You can rest for a few days before joining the group, or you will join the group seamlessly as soon as the filming here is over. I'm worried that your health will not be able to bear it."

"It's okay, I'm not tired, it's hard to justify asking the whole crew to wait for me."

"You haven't rested a day in the past three months, how can you not be tired? Let's rest for a few days."

"No, I don't need to rest." Jian Ningze said, turned and walked out of Qi Jia's office.

Looking at Jian Ningze's stubborn back, Qi Jia sighed while touching his forehead.

Coming out of Qi Jia's office, Jian Ningze, who was passing by the conference room, happened to face the person who came out of it.

"It's been a while since I saw you." He Zhimo said.

"Well, I just came back from filming for a few months." Jian Ningze nodded and smiled.

After saying hello, Jian Ningze was about to leave, but his steps froze.After a pause for a while, he turned to look at He Zhimo and couldn't help asking, "Is... is he okay?"

Jian Ningze knew that Qi Ran must be related to He Zhimo, and He Zhimo couldn't pretend that he didn't know about Jian Ningze.

"He's pretty good." He Zhimo felt that he should tell Jian Ningze more, "He's studying for a master's degree in communication, and he lives a fulfilling life every day."

It's been almost two years, and this is the first time Jian Ningze heard about Qi Ran. He wanted to calm himself down, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably.

Trying her best to pull out a smile, Jian Ningze nodded lightly, "Very good."

When he returned to the hotel after filming, although it was already late at night, Jian Ningze didn't feel sleepy at all.Turning on the TV and connecting it to the computer, he found an anime and played it.

This is a comedy cartoon, Jian Ningze watched it with gusto.

When seeing a funny scene, Jian Ningze was amused and "giggled" twice, but she smiled, but shed tears.

Why are you still crying?baffling.Jian Ningze laughed at himself, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously.

sleep!He picked up the remote and turned off the TV, got up and walked towards the bedroom.

On the table, the screen of the tablet computer was still on, and a name was clearly visible in the column of the main voice of the cartoon.

"Edo TV invites you to participate in this year's New Year's Eve concert. I plan to find someone to write two songs for you to sing at the party."

After listening to Qi Jia's words, Jian Ningze fell into deep thought.After a while, he said to Qi Jia: "Sister, I will write the song for the New Year's Eve concert myself."

After returning home from the company, Jian Ningze went to the sofa and sat down.Since Qi Ran left, he seldom returns here, most of the time he either stays in the crew hotel or returns to his previous apartment.

Leaning on the sofa, Jian Ningze lit a cigarette.The smoke scattered in the air, obscuring a plain white wall, and the photos hanging on the wall still kept their original appearance, even though their owners were no longer here.

Stuffing out the cigarette in the ashtray, Jian Ningze stood up and walked towards the photo wall, looking up slightly, a photo came into his eyes.

In the photo, there is a figure standing in the golden sunset.

The photo frame has accumulated a thin layer of dust after it has not been moved for a long time. Jian Ningze took the photo frame off the wall and took out a paper towel to gently wipe the dust on it.

"Eh? Isn't this me? When did you take the picture? Why don't I know."

"It was just when work was over, the sun was setting, and you were standing on Nanshan overlooking the whole city. The scene was beautiful, so I took it."

"Is the sunset beautiful or me beautiful?"

"You are beautiful."

With a bang, the photo frame slipped from Jian Ningze's hand and fell heavily on the ground, the glass frame shattered.

Jian Ningze reached out to pick up the photo without thinking, and the broken glass was immediately stained with bright red.

"Fortunately, the photo is fine."

Ignoring the bright red on the fingertips, Jian Ningze carefully wiped the photo with the cuff of his sweater.At this moment, with a casual glance, Jian Ningze unexpectedly discovered that there was a line written on the back of the photo.
