Chapter 25 That One Red Camellia

The golden trophy is dazzling and bright as a mirror, reflecting thousands of joys and sorrows.

Lu Li only felt a "buzz", but couldn't hear other sounds clearly.It was as if a firework had exploded in his mind, with mixed flavors and mixed feelings.

When the fireworks cleared, what appeared was a summer night starry sky eight years ago.

In that sweltering season, the 513 dormitory at that time did not have air-conditioning.He and Shen Xing chose to lie on the roof of the apartment building with their mats in their arms to watch the meteor shower.It was Lu Li's first bet: whoever gets the title of Best Actor of Jin Cong first in the future can make a request.

is any requirement.

For a very, very long time, Lu Li always firmly believed that he would be the first to win the trophy.So he also revised over and over again the request he wanted to make to Shen Xingze——

Initially, he wanted to travel around the world with Shen Xing.If there is no time, one country a year until they are gray-haired.

Later, he wanted Shen Xing to destroy the 20-year contract, hoping that Shen Xing could set him free.

In the end, he wanted Shen Xingze to admit that Lu Li was a stronger and better actor than Shen Xingze.He wanted Shen Xingze's complete respect, and perhaps, love based on absolute equality.

Unfortunately, none of these wishes were ever fulfilled.And now that Shen Xing chose to win, what kind of wish would he make?

Suddenly, there was a booing sound in Lu Li's ear.

It turned out that Ma Meng and the others used this sentence to tease him, making some low-level jokes.Lu Li dismissed them with the word "Fuck off", then hid aside and took out his phone.

Of course, Shen Xingxuan did not update any news about the Golden Cong Awards. The most recent one was a photo with the photographer in early October.Lu Li thought for a while, typed "Congratulations Senior Brother" in the dialog box, and clicked send.

Of course, Shen Xingze didn't reply right away, but around ten o'clock the next morning, Lu Li's phone popped up with the words "Thank you" signed by Shen Xingze.

This back-and-forth conversation of no more than six words, like some kind of tacit code word, reopened the channel of communication between the two people.

Lu Li began to describe life on the China Film campus intermittently in Moments.He wrote about the persimmon tree that was slowly turning red in front of the graduate student building in the early morning of late autumn; he wrote about how he instructed his classmates who were late in bed to take a shortcut to the playground for morning exercises; 26 Performing class 1 and class 2 compete with each other for the rehearsal room, building blocks and scenery...

All kinds of fun here have been like this in the past, and will not change in the future.

Late autumn in Beijing is just a fleeting moment. Just after seeing the red leaves in Xiangshan, the frost began to fall in the early morning.When the students from the south began to experience the power of heating, the content of the final teaching report of the first semester had also been finalized.

The end-of-term report is a tradition of the Acting Department of China Film and Television, and it is also the root of the nightmare for most students in the four-year university.The report in the lower grades is relatively simple - prose recitation, provided that the prose must be created by oneself and passed the teacher's review.

As a result, the performance department at level 26 temporarily became the Chinese department. No matter the dormitory or the rehearsal room, day and night were filled with chanting, occasionally accompanied by a few mournful roars.

The most tragic thing is that the prose that was written with great difficulty has to be rewritten by the line teacher over and over again because of groaning, toothache, and even suspicion of plagiarism.It's no wonder that the students who passed the essay one after another clamored to raise funds to produce a collection of essays, passing on their painstaking works to future generations.

In this regard, Lu Li was not nervous at all.He was the first batch of students in Class 1 to pass, so he had plenty of time for preparation, and he could even help correct the essays of Ma Meng and Wang Ruoqiu.

On November 11th, Lu Li suddenly received a call from sister Anna.Anna said that knowing that his family was struggling financially, Shen Xing chose to take on a Republic of China drama at the end of the year, and asked him if he had time to be an assistant to the crew, and the salary and treatment were all favorable.

At present, there is no reason to refuse.After Lu Li agreed, he would ask about the place of work—it was at the Qiushan Film and Television Base, where the tragic car accident happened last year.

Lu Li suddenly felt that Shen Xingxuan was testing him.

It doesn't matter when Shen Xingze's suspicion started.The important thing is how Shen Xing will react once he finds out the answer.

Lu Li was almost 90.00% sure that he would go crazy.

Ever since the day Lu Li was picked up from the hospital, Shen Xingxuan had always opposed Lu Li's continued filming.Focusing on the 20-year contract of prostitution, he abused his power and operated it into an indefinite forced recuperation.

Later, the contract of prostitution was finally annulled, but Shen Xingze was still stubborn and opposed Lu Li's dedication to his career.And the car accident seems to be the strongest evidence of his paranoid desire to protect. It is not difficult to imagine that after the loss and recovery, his paranoia will inevitably rise to a new height.

Not wanting to completely fall under Shen Xingxuan's control was always the main reason; but after the Jin Cong party, two other voices began to emerge in Lu Li's heart.

A voice, hoping that Shen Xingxuan will get out of the maze of memory as soon as possible, and no longer be lingering on the shadow of the past.

And the other voice was actually jealous of his past self, jealous of the dead body that had been forged into a lock in the fire, and locked Shen Xingze's heart.

In any case, an immediate refusal will only lead to greater suspicion.Lu Li had no choice but to agree temporarily, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the winter vacation.

--------------

This winter is warmer than last year.

The weather forecast said that there was a heavy snowfall in the capital city last night, but City X on the eastern coast was still green and verdant.

After convincing his mother to agree to his winter vacation work plan, Lu Li packed his simple luggage and braved the cold wind to wait at the side entrance of Hailing Studios.Five or six minutes later, a car slowly drove over on the deserted street and stopped in front of him.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment - the license plate number was right, but he thought he was waiting for the production van, but he didn't know that it was a GMC Business Star.

The driver got out of the car to help him put his luggage, and the electric door opened slowly.The person sitting in the independent seat in the front row was none other than Shen Xingze.

It had been almost three months since the meal at Sanheju, and Lu Li didn't know where to start when he first met him.The two people, one in the car and the other outside, stared at each other silently for a few seconds, but Anna, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help it.

"It's freezing to death, close the car door!"

After excluding sister Anna, some luggage, bags, coats and other items were also placed.Although a bit presumptuous, Lu Li could only sit on the seat to the right of Shen Xingze.

He had nothing to say: "Brother Shen, long time no see. Congratulations on becoming the actor."

Shen Xing chose to lean on the back of the chair and closed his eyes: "You're not called Senior Brother anymore?"

"...Senior brother."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Li suddenly felt that he was being taken advantage of by Shen Xing.

Fortunately, Shen Xingxuan didn't talk much at all, and he was probably tired all the way, so he didn't say anything more.The people in the car followed suit and remained silent.

For the first half an hour, Lu Li would wipe off the moisture on the glass and take a look at the scenery outside the window; but the heating and poor air soon made him drowsy.Before his consciousness became blurred, he fastened his seat belt for himself, took another peek at Shen Xingxuan's waist, and then closed his eyes in peace.

As expected of a full-time driver, the car drove very smoothly.Lu Li thought he hadn't slept for long, but suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced his dream.

The past and reality penetrated together, and he opened his eyes wide in shock, just in time to see a huge black shadow flash past outside the foggy car window.

It's an engineering vehicle!

Lu Li pulled up his sleeve and wiped the glass.The scenery outside the car window suddenly came into view—the vehicle was already driving on the road in front of the Qiushan base, which is the road where the accident happened last summer...

Although he had already done psychological training, when it came to this point, Lu Li was still unavoidably nervous.He even felt as if there was a piece of ice hidden in the amulet hanging around his neck, and the chills stimulated his heart.

"What are you looking at."

Shen Xingxuan's voice came from beside him abruptly.

The scattered emotions and thoughts quickly shrank in an instant, Lu Li quickly adjusted his expression and turned his head.

"Brother, we seem to be arriving at Qiushan soon."

Shen Xingze had obviously woken up a long time ago. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding a script in his hand.

"How do you know it's almost here?" He asked Lu Li, "Have you been here before?"

"I haven't been here." Lu Li shook his head and raised his phone again, "But I have a location."

Shen Xing chose not to look at Lu Li's phone, as if he was sure that there was not even a navigation software installed in it.

He looked into Lu Li's eyes calmly: "Do you know what happened on this road?"

Lu Li remained silent. He was already sure that Shen Xingxuan was testing him, but he decided to continue the scene in front of Shen Xingxuan.

"know."

"What do you think?"

Lu Li bowed his head and pondered for a while, carefully discarding all the words he couldn't say; he struggled with himself, trying to keep some.

"...I was surprised at first, but later I felt regretful and pity. But to be honest, the earth is not the same without everyone. It is said that sitting on the ground travels 500 miles a day, more than [-] days a year and a half, almost from the earth. Half the distance to Venus. In fact, we have long been far away from the past, far away from those people and things in our memory. And one day, I will also be part of other people’s memories. I don’t want people who love me to indulge in the past and cannot extricate themselves , so I will not shut myself in the memory, because that is meaningless."

As if confirming his words, the vehicle slowed down, turned a corner, and drove smoothly into the diversion ramp leading to the Qiushan base.

Although it was only a few seconds, Lu Li still saw the location of the car accident that year.

A spacious isolation zone has been built in the middle of the rough road in the past. A newly transplanted camellia is blooming in the withered yellow grass. The color of the flower is like blood, and it looks like the setting sun is slowly setting in the sky.
