singer of the so-called director of love

After Christmas comes the New Year. Not long after the New Year, the Spring Festival is here again.In this festival where all the stars are busy making appearances, Shui Le is almost "idling".Every year around the Spring Festival for about a week, Shuile is basically in a state of evaporating from the world. This practice started when Shuile first joined the company.It's hard to imagine that an entertainment company would condone such unreasonable behavior of its artists. The reason behind it is not about Shuile or the company's senior management, or even the relationship between Shuile and the company's senior management. It's just that Shuile has an all-round manager.

Country A's four seasons are not clear, especially in this small southern city, even in winter, the trees are still lush.Shui Le walked alone on the shady road, the warm winter sun unintentionally shone on her shoulders, but it made her shiver.

This place is so familiar, yet so strange.She left when she was 13 years old, and when she came back, only the old man who guarded the grave knew who she came for, and today, the only person in this city who knows her past has grown up long before she knew it. buried in the ground.There is only rot, no hell or heaven, Shui Le has always known.

So when she stood in front of the tombstone of the joint burial, she didn't try to say anything to anyone, and she had nothing to say.

Compared with the surrounding tombstones, this tombstone, which is visited only once a year, looks a bit desolate.Shui Le put down the flowers in her hands, knelt down to clean up the weeds beside the tomb, carefully wiped the dust from the white cross, and stroked the two distant names with her fingertips, feeling neither sad nor happy.

Then she sat down and stared dreamily at the great blue bouquet.They said it was called Platycodon grandiflorum, which represented eternal love, and Shui Le laughed, oh, eternal love.But it doesn't matter, she just thinks the blue flowers are very special and beautiful, that's all.

Sometimes, Shui Le will just sit like this, or be in a daze, or be forced to recall some unclear past, until the sun sets.Sometimes, other past events are vivid in my mind, and the memories are overwhelming, and Shui Le will stand up and wander aimlessly, looking at the epitaphs with sincere words, and the overly bright smiles on those posthumous photos. At that time, no one thought that this would eventually become the entire impression they left on the world.

So one time, Shui Le had a whim, should he prepare a photo like this in advance?When I mentioned it to Ian after returning to China, Ian was terrified, and he was more severe than ever. "Shui Lele! Why are you crazy?!" He said.He shouldn't be so angry, Shui Le knew that he was really scared.Later, Shui Le spent a lot of effort to convince him that it was just a joke.

Shui Le occasionally thinks, what would he be like now without Ian, if he hadn’t met that old man at the age of 13?Fortunately, there is no if.

It was getting dark, as winter days are always so short.Shui Le took one last look at the tomb with only two names, and walked slowly towards the exit of the cemetery.In the past, there was only so much space here, but now you can't see the edge at a glance, and people are dying every day...

After coming out of the special passageway at the airport, I got into Ian's car, without talking all the way.Back home, Shui Le fell directly on Ian's sofa and shouted loudly: "I want to eat, eat rice one by one! Eat sweet and sour pork ribs! Eat fish-flavored eggplant! Eat ants climbing trees! Eat,... ...Food!" Ian pretended not to understand the last paragraph of the tape, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he put the dishes that had been prepared in the microwave oven to heat.

This kind of drama is staged every year, and Ian has almost risen from habit to conditioned reflex. Her favorite dishes have never changed for so many years.

"Lan Bing called you several times, and I told her that you are not in the country."

"Oh, about the movie?"

"Of course not. Why do you come to me for the movie? What else do you think you can do besides 'acting'?"

"...wow, so many ants! Watch me eat them all!"

The next day Shuile called Lan Bing. "Lan, I'm sorry, I didn't bring my mobile phone with me a few days ago~"

"It's okay, you just came back today?"

"No, last night, it was very late so I didn't call you, do you need me or—?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just want to say blessings to you during the Spring Festival, and it's the same now, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"at work?"

"No, I'm being lazy, I've been lazy all day~"

"It sounds good, so let me steal it too. Do you want to go to the cafe last time? Go and listen to the sound of wind chimes?"

"Haha, I miss their wind chimes! Now? I'm at home."

"Well, I'll pick you up later." Lan Bing hung up the phone, explained the work to Ye Xiaotong, picked up her bag and coat, and left the studio, automatically shielding Ye Xiaotong from the gossip.What a joke, if Ye Xiaotong knew that she was going to meet Shui Le, she would hide in the back of the car and follow her.

When Lan Bing drove the car downstairs, Shui Le was already standing there waiting. He didn't wear a hat or gloves. He just turned up the collar of his coat and pulled the zipper up to his nose.

Lan Bing hurriedly opened the car door to let her in, touched her cold ear tips, and said slightly reproachfully, "Why don't you wear a hat? And gloves?" Shui Le was so comfortable by the warm air in the car that he sighed , "Troublesome, aren't you indoors anyway?" He opened the zipper without wearing a scarf inside, Lan Bing had the urge to hit someone, so he thought of another thing before giving up...

Shui Le didn't know that he had just escaped a catastrophe, "Is the cafe open at this time? Will you go home for the New Year?"

"It's on, I called to confirm."

"Yes."

"What's right?"

"You must have thought about these things a long time ago, and then arranged them properly. I just need to follow you, and I don't have to worry about it at all." Shui Le said it as a matter of course.

Lan Bing was very satisfied with her awareness, and reached out to touch the back of her head, "So cute~"

After parking the car in the parking lot near the cafe, Shui Le unfastened his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car, but was held back by Lan Bing, and watched as Lan Bing took out a gift box from somewhere and handed it to him. "New Year's gift, just in time."

Shui Le didn't know why she suddenly felt a little hot on her face, and while trying to pretend to be calm, she took time to think that fortunately this is an underground parking lot.Open it carefully, and there is a beige scarf inside, dotted with sporadic colors, Shui Le likes it very much.So she stretched out her hand to touch the soft and warm ball, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Lan Bing, "Thank you~" her eyes were full of stars.

Lan Bing felt her heart throbbing for a moment, and her fingertips felt numb. She quickly squeezed it firmly, took the box in Shui Le's hand, took out the scarf and helped her put it on.

In fact, Lan Bing bought this gift when the winter just started. When I saw it by accident, I thought it was very suitable for the person in front of me. I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to give it out. This moment was just right, it was just natural.

Shui Le only felt that her mouth, nose and ears were covered under the scarf, although she trusted Lan Bing's aesthetics, she couldn't help but protest: "Do you think it's embarrassing to walk with me in this way? "

"So you know?" Lan Bing was surprised, and then comforted him: "It's cold outside, and there is still a long way to go, let's take it off there."

When they reached the door of the cafe, Shui Le opened the door first, played a burst of crisp wind chimes, and then signaled Lan Bing to stand still and walk in by herself.Lan Bing stood in place and watched the wooden door close behind Shui Le, and suddenly understood what she wanted to do, so she had to push the door open by herself, and there was a gust of wind chimes again, and she saw Shui Le standing behind the door, the scarf was gone Pulling it down, he was looking at her with a satisfied smile on his face.

Now Lan Bing directly reached out to ruffle her long hair, and pulled her to a corner to sit down.Shui Le looked around and found that they were the only guests at the table again, only to realize later that it should not be due to working hours.

"A friend in the circle opened it. In this area, almost no one will come." Lan Bing saw Shui Le's doubts and explained.Sure enough.

Even though she was ridiculed by Ian for knowing nothing but acting, Shui Le still decided to care about the progress of the movie. After all, she was the lead actor, right?As a result, Lan Bing suddenly talked about her drawing a portrait of Yuan Shuiyun, and finally asked her with a dark smile: "When are you going to draw me a portrait? There is no need for a portrait, you can do whatever you want, I ask you no." High~"

Shui Le quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it seemed unprofessional to admit this, it was really hard for her to imagine staring at Lan Bing's face for an hour or more.Moreover, it's not that she has never thought about giving paintings to Lan Bing, but she has never been sure whether Lan Bing is willing to accept such a gift. After all, it is not a famous work.

"But I'm very demanding on the gifts I give to others. You don't mind waiting for a while?"

Lan Bing replied leisurely: "Of course I don't mind, I can wait for a long time, a long time..."

When the two were enjoying their coffee quietly, the wind chime at the door rang again. Shui Le looked up happily at first, but when he saw the person who came in, he didn't have much appreciation.Lan Bing was curious about what caused her sudden lack of interest, turned her head and saw two people came in from the door, she happened to know both, Yi Keer and her manager Su Jing.

"Director Lan Bing! Are you coming to drink coffee too?" Yi Keer stood outside the cafe door with her trademark sweet smile on her face. Su Jing opened the door for her. After a gust of wind, she walked into the coffee shop Pavilion, slightly shy and reserved.However, there was only one person in the audience, and this person turned out to be—Shui Le? !Yi Keer's smile instantly froze on his face, and then he looked over with a haughty look.It just so happened that Lan Bing turned his head at this time, so his expression, which was too late to hide, turned into an exaggerated surprise, and he blurted out an opening sentence that no one was willing to answer.

This exclamation, which was barely regarded as a greeting, seemed abrupt and sharp in the quiet cafe. Lan Bing obviously had no intention of answering the conversation, but just nodded politely and distantly, and Shui Le watched coldly.Su Jing hurriedly said, "Director Lan, I didn't expect you to be here too, sorry to bother you." She and Shui Le nodded to each other.

"Sister Su was joking, everyone is here to drink coffee, this coffee shop is not my home, where did you bother?" Su Jing called Lan Bing respectfully because Lan Bing did have status in the film industry, and Lan Bing Calling Su Jing "Sister Su" is because of her age and qualifications.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Su Jing has brought many artists, most of whom are very popular, among them there are many masters at the level of empresses, and they are veritable gold medal managers.And Yi Keer is an artist that Su Jing's entertainment company has recently promoted. She is the heroine of all the hit TV series created by Su Jing herself from a newcomer to the present.

Of course, the actor and queen are determined by their acting skills, but not the male and female protagonists.Yi Keer’s acting skills, how should I put it, it’s hard to describe it positively. If you reflect it from the side, the audience with a little vision may think that she is an actress with a backstage when they see her acting as a heroine for the first time, but they see her one after another. It was only later that I discovered that she was actually an actress with a hard background.

But in this world, sometimes appearance can determine everything, not to mention the entertainment industry, not to mention Yi Keer not only has a sweet and lovely face, but also Su Jing, a skilled manager, and a very hard backstage, right? Did you say it?

The youngest daughter of Yi Chengxi, the heir of the Yi family, is naturally doted on by thousands of people. Lan Bing has seen her several times at various boring banquets.Someone from the Yi family approached Lan Bing before, hoping that Yi Ke'er could play a certain female number two in her movie, but she rejected it because "the image does not match".

As for the feud between Yi Keer and Shui Le, or Yi Keer's unilateral malice towards Shui Le and Shui Le's attitude of being too lazy to care about her, Su Jing didn't want to get into the details. The matter of Miss Yi's family was not her agent. People can manage it.Knowing how Yi Keer behaves in the world, she has always avoided close contact between Yi Keer and Shui Le in public, and secretly glad that Shui Le is a singer and not an actor.

But I managed to hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, I finally met, so I couldn’t die, Shui Le was still with Lan Bing, Su Jing hadn’t forgotten that Lan Bing’s movie came out and Yi Keer looked at the screen The distorted expression on the face of the water music inside...

Sure enough, Yi Keer ignored Su Jing's dissuading eyes, stepped on her high heels and walked straight towards Lan Bing. First, she expressed her longing for Lan Bing earnestly and shyly since her birthday party, and then showed her love for Lan Bing in a girlish manner. Praise and adoration for a film on ice.

Shui Le, as a very discerning audience, just sat there quietly watching her performance, without commenting.Finally, Yi Keer turned around and said to Shui Le with a concerned face: "I haven't seen Shui Le show up in the past few days during the Chinese New Year. Have you gone home to spend the New Year with your family?" The fake smile could hardly hide her face The color of pride.

That's why Shuile hates her.This question sounds nothing to Lan Bing and Su Jing, at most it feels hypocritical and polite, but Yi Keer knows very well that Shui Le is homeless.Treating other people's misfortune as a pastime, as a bargaining chip to humiliate others, and finally a face of self-appreciation, such a heart!

However, Shui Le was indifferent and didn't even blink his eyes.The more she faces malice, the tougher her heart becomes.She had been forced to experience the cruelest thing in the world at the weakest age, and in her life after that, only beauty and kindness could move her.

So Shui Le's answer was, looking past Yi Ke'er and seeing Su Jing behind her with a tangled and powerless face, her tone was sparse and normal: "Sister Su is here for coffee or do you have something to talk about?"

"Don't make fun of me, how can a person like me have the leisure and elegance to drink coffee!" Su Jing laughed at herself, and said to Yi Keer following Shui Le's words: "Ker, Director Feng should be here soon, we're looking for Sit down and wait."

How could Yi Ke'er just go down the steps like this? From the day her grandfather brought Shuile back to Yi's house, she didn't know how many times she had tripped up Shuile in private, but she had never taken advantage of it verbally. . "It's not here yet, you should find a seat first. Can I sit here, Director Lan Bing?"

"Of course." Lan Bing answered quickly and stood up.Yi Keer glanced at Shui Le provocatively, and was about to go around Lan Bing and sit in. Lan Bing continued, "We are leaving, you can do whatever you want."

Shui Le almost laughed out loud.Lan Bing's attitude was so natural that even Su Jing couldn't be sure if it was true or not, so Yi Ke'er naturally didn't dare to say anything, so she had to say goodbye in an embarrassing way, and then resented Shui Le in her heart .

Before going out this time, Shui Le consciously put on the scarf, and hid under the scarf as soon as she stepped out of the cafe door and complained vaguely, "I haven't finished my coffee yet!" Typical of being a good-looking guy who gets cheap, Lan Bing laughs Without saying a word, he took her hand and urged her to walk faster.

Back in the car, Lan Bing didn't start the car immediately, but stared at Shui Le quietly for a while, with one hand resting on the steering wheel and gently supporting his chin.Shui Le didn't pay attention to her at first, and fiddled with her clothes and scarf without saying a word, then pretended to be calm, and met her gaze directly, and finally couldn't take it anymore, and yelled at her fiercely: " What are you doing?!" Then he looked at Lan Bing lying on the steering wheel inexplicably, trembling with laughter.

Laughing to herself for a while, Lan Bing kept lying on her stomach, tilted her head to look at Shui Le and said seriously: "I know why you have so many lovely female fans."

Dare Ye Xiaotong even discuss this with Lan Bing? ! "……Why?"

Lan Bing teased with a half-smile: "You look ruthless, and you're quite handsome!"

Shui Le choked, not knowing how to answer.She felt that she should confess something to Lan Bing, about Yi Keer, about herself.Although Lan Bing didn't ask anything, she just maintained her calmly, and naturally pulled her away from the turbulent undercurrent of low-level boringness.But she couldn't say it, she never could.I had to joke, "Then, are you a little tempted?"

"Yes! Just a little bit." Lan Bing said while stretching out his index finger and thumb for a little comparison.

Shui Le snorted from his nose, expressing his disdain.

Lan Bing laughed, started the car, sent Shui Le downstairs and left. Ye Xiaotong was still waiting for her in the studio.

Shui Le returned home, closed the door and went straight into the studio. She stayed from the afternoon until late at night, and then came out hungry and disheveled. There was a wet watercolor painting on the easel, and there was clearly a beautiful woman sitting in the blurry cafe. back view...

As soon as he walked out of the studio, Shuile could smell the strong smell of mushroom stew in the air. He felt that he was so hungry that he was empty, but he still ran to the kitchen. Sure enough, the stove was simmering Soup!

"It's ready to eat. There are still a few dishes in the refrigerator, let's heat them up." Shui Le turned around when she heard the voice, only to find that Ian was sitting in front of the bookshelf with some documents spread out on the table. He didn't know what he was busy with. He didn't lift his head when he spoke.

"Ian! You are the snail girl? No, you are the snail boy!"

"I don't have time to talk to you, Uncle Jiang came here before, and he went back before you came out. I was ordered by him to stay here and watch the fire!" Ian finally took the time to raise his head and glared at Shui Le.

Shui Le opened the refrigerator and took a look. Sure enough, only Jiang Bo had the thought and skill to cook these troublesome dishes for her. This was something that everyone in Yi's family, including grandpa, envied and hated. Ian was quite fond of her. light.

Standing by the microwave for a few minutes, Shui Le suddenly remembered a poem written by her mother on her deathbed: "I never loved the world / It was the same to me".These two sentences, she has always kept in mind.After all these years, she kept meeting certain people who made her never love this world, but she never hated it either, wondering if it was the same for her.

After the food was hot, Ian really came over to eat.Shui Le laughed at him, "I thought that warming up means eating by myself!"

"Our Chinese teachers are different."

"..." Shui Le was speechless. "Did Jiang Bo say something?"

"Say you don't eat well, you are disobedient."

"Oh."

"Say you haven't gone back to see it for more than half a month."

"Oh."

"Say you need to wear more clothes, don't freeze yourself for the sake of beauty."

"Oh."

"Say that the entertainment industry is not a place for girls, and ask me to take good care of you."

"Oh, hey, that's for you!"

"It is said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, grandpa will travel far away, so we will have this year's reunion dinner a few days earlier."

"Oh ah?"

"Ah, your head!"
