The night is already deep.

Yuan Ru's eyes were dull and her back was slightly hunched, but she still subconsciously clenched the half-burned cigarette in her hand, and her thin shoulders seemed to rely on such things in her hand to find a sense of security.

Wu Xingyan and Fu Zhan had already left, leaving Fang Ningjie alone with Yuan Ru.

"What do you want to ask?" Yuan Ru said softly, her tone was full of exhaustion, as if these words had already carried all the strength in her body.

At an unknown time, the curtains were left halfway open, and the room could see the dark night outside the window and the two figures reflected on the glass window.

Fang Ningjie frowned, "This window...is it a one-way glass?"

Yuan Ru didn't think it was this question, and didn't realize it for a while, "What... one-way?"

Fang Ningjie strode over, pulled up the curtains, and blocked the whole room tightly, "...it's nothing."

"You insist on talking to me alone," Yuan Ru adjusted her sitting posture while supporting the sofa, trying not to look so decadent, "You don't want to talk to me about the windows?"

Fang Ningjie glanced at her indifferently, "Of course not."

Yuan Ru chuckled, "Isn't that right? Young man, sit down, drink a cup of coffee, and have a peaceful chat. I'm not young anymore, you can't deprive me of the time for beauty sleep."

young people……

Fang Ningjie really wanted to laugh sarcastically, but when he heard the latter sentence, he couldn't laugh anymore.

This year... Yuan Ru should be 29, right?

Perhaps this age is close to the golden age of men, but for women, it has entered a period of accelerated withering.

Taking a closer look, Yuan Ru's eyes really have some wrinkles, and her skin is not as tender and fair as before...

"Mr. Fang, is it impolite to stare at me like this?" Yuan Ru said with a light smile.

Fang Ningjie looked away, and replied indifferently, "I was just thinking about what you experienced in the United States, how old you are so quickly."

This sounded very offensive, but Yuan Ru didn't get angry, "You're right, half a month ago I was a happy and beautiful woman."

She sighed, threw away the stub of cigarette, and lit a new one. Seeing Fang Ningjie cast his eyes on the cigarette in her hand, she sighed and laughed at herself: "Mr. Fang is not used to watching women smoke? I didn't smoke before either, before, a long time ago."

"You're wrong." Fang Ningjie shook his head, "I never comment on the issue of women smoking. It's just that I thought you wouldn't smoke... this kind of thing."

He frowned slightly, as if it was difficult to think of a suitable word to describe it.

Maybe there are, but for women, men always have to be tolerant and tolerant.

Yuan Ru glanced at the body of the cigarette, paused for a while, and then said, "You think I'll smoke one or two hundred? Mr. Fang, you think I'm too rich."

"No matter how rich Jiang Mu is, it's his," Yuan Ru snorted coldly, "it's not mine."

Fang Ningjie frowned.

"I did marry a rich man when I stayed in the United States." Yuan Ru closed her mouth, then shook her head, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "No, I can't say I'm rich, I can only say... well-off? But So what, I don't get a penny, and I'm in debt for $50."

"..."

Yuan Ru looked at Fang Ningjie's dazed face, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled the cloud of smoke, "Isn't that what you want to know? Or is there something else you want to know from me?"

"Debt," Fang Ningjie froze for a while, then asked slowly and in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Yuan Ru brushed her hair, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "If it wasn't for the Wu family's manipulation, do you think I would be willing to come back from the United States?"

Fang Ningjie was silent, only feeling that the corners of his eyes were dry and sore.

"Young man, you are thinking too far." Yuan Ru said calmly, "I heard from Wu Xingyan and Fu Zhan that you are Jiang Mu's student, and you seem to admire him a lot? It seems like you are questioning a woman who once chose to betray for an idol. It’s justified.”

"Jiang Mu is rich, talented, famous, and dedicated. Although he can't compare with celebrities, he is still a handsome guy. When he was in college, he chased a truckload of girls. You want to ask, why? Will I still choose to leave?" Yuan Ru continued, "Indeed, if I were someone else, I would definitely scold myself to death. I don't know how to be blessed. But am I really happy? I date him once a week , the place I went to was either an amusement park or a restaurant, and I couldn’t find any tricks at all. When watching a movie with him, he even took a notebook to analyze the plot and rhythm of the movie. The atmosphere was better. I thought this man would When he kissed me, he would suddenly write down the conversation between us, saying it was material..."

Her voice became sharper, "I can bear all this! I know he is a screenwriter, and he puts great effort into his professional development. But! What disappoints me the most is that he doesn't love me at all! Even when I When I was naked and lying on the bed, I felt like a puppet made of plastic in his eyes, no different from a book or a computer in his hand! Can you imagine? I and such a, no People who are passionate about life and have no romantic feelings stay together for five years, five years!"

She took a breath, as if she realized that she was too excited, "I endured it for five years, thinking that after I had paid so much, he would always change. But no, not until the end."

Yuan Ru's eyes suddenly became very sad, "I used to think that the most painful thing in this world is not getting what you ask for. But then I found out that the most painful thing is that you live together, you have a very good relationship, and you both feel It's very suitable, but he just doesn't love you. When I realized this, I felt like the whole world collapsed."

Fang Ningjie silently listened to her ridicule, her anger, and her final despair.

"Can you understand me?" Yuan Ru said, her voice was as soft as a withered leaf slowly falling from a branch.

"Later I went to the United States──I met my current husband in the United States. He is a very enthusiastic and romantic person. He seems to have endless energy and novel ideas. We danced on the Macau Tower I have done bungee jumping, stood on the top of a snow-capped mountain thousands of meters away and looked into the distance. We have been to the tropical rainforest in Africa and gambled in Las Vegas. Being with him, I have experienced the happiness that I have never had before. My wife is back, Jiang Mu can't do all of this. My husband, let me understand the meaning of love again after five years. "

"Because I left Jiang Mu, I got a new life." Yuan Ru's ashen face seemed to shine brightly for an instant, "I know this is cruel, my happiness is that he sacrificed his life for it." It came—but so what? For a woman, if she can have a man who makes her crazy and burns her life, it is worth it."

She cast her eyes on Fang Ningjie's rather handsome face. Under the pale yellow light, the other party's face still looked pale, and his lips had lost the color of blood, as if he was a patient recovering from a serious illness.

Still a child who worshiped idols?

Yuan Ru's expression gradually softened, "You and Wu Xingyan seem to have a very good relationship."

She paused, recalling a series of small interactions between the two of them after entering the door, and said with a shallow smile, "His parents are not very good──but he is still good, I hope you will not become like me Such a tragedy."

Fang Ningjie's lips trembled—in fact, his whole body was trembling, but the arc was too small to attract attention. Finally, he asked, "Why did you help me?"

Yuan Ru was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't think he was still struggling with this issue. After thinking twice, she said softly, "I didn't want to at first—but the moment I saw you after you entered the door, I suddenly felt a kind of The feeling that I owe you a lot... Does it sound a little mysterious? But, it is true. "

Fang Ningjie sat blankly for a while, Yuan Ru ignored him and smoked his own cigarette.

Fang Ningjie stood up when the cigarette in Yuan Ru's hand was almost burning to her fingers, and said slowly, "From now on, you don't owe me anything."

Yuan Ru looked at him in surprise, a little surprised at his strange behavior.

Fang Ningjie turned around and walked towards the door.

Yes, starting today, you don't owe me anything anymore.Whether it's Fang Ningjie or Jiang Mu.

One life offsets your five years of companionship.

We owe nothing to anyone.

He closed the door, leaned gently against the wall, and sighed deeply.

"I used to think that the most painful thing in the world is to get what you ask for."

"But then I found out that the most painful thing is that you live together, you have a very good relationship, and you both feel very suitable for each other, but he just doesn't love you."

What a simple truth, why didn't they understand it at the beginning.

He is a wealthy and talented boyfriend, and she is a beautiful, considerate and gentle girlfriend; he gave her dedicated company, and she gave him a meticulous life.They are suitable for everything, but they are missing the most important thing: love.

But it was not too late for them to wake up.

Fang Ningjie took out his mobile phone, and it was already showing 12:30.

You should sleep in words.

He put his hands back into his pockets again, and the pace of leaving seemed to be lighter than when he came.

Two footsteps staggered gently.

"Won't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?" Fu Zhan raised his eyebrows.

Wu Xingyan shook his head, "It's too late."

Fu Zhan was a little bit persistent, "If he doesn't come back, can you sleep?"

"There is no necessary connection between the two." Wu Xingyan frowned, his tone a little impatient, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Of course." Fu Zhan looked at him firmly, "Do you really not give me a chance to chat with me?"

Wu Xingyan looked at him firmly, and finally leaned against the wall and replied lightly, "Let's talk here."

"Here?" Fu Zhan circled around and chuckled, "Are you sure you want to talk in the corridor?"

"If your matter is really that important." Wu Xingyan crossed his arms and looked down at the toes of his shoes.

Fu Zhan looked at him for a while, and finally confirmed that he really would not change his mind, so he sighed, turned around and leaned against the wall like him, feeling a little helpless, "You are really... an old friend, even if you talk about it Can't you..."

"Fu Zhan," Wu Xingyan said, "I—"

Fu Zhan seemed to have expected something, and interrupted him hastily, "Words!"

Wu Xingyan raised his head and looked at him, his pupils were dark.

"Okay, I'm the one talking today, you listen." Fu Zhan said slowly, even showing a smile on his face, "It's hard to have a face-to-face talk, can you save some face?"

"..." Wu Xingyan was noncommittal.

"Speaking of which, we haven't had a good conversation for a long time. It's either about work or something else. How many years have we known each other?" Fu Zhan narrowed his eyes, as if he was calculating seriously, After a while, he said softly, "Ah, it's been ten years."

"Do you remember what you said before? If you become a big star, I will be the editor of a fashion magazine. In this way, I can ask you to be a cover model for my magazine. Later, I changed my job and became an entertainment reporter. It should be said that I left You are one step closer, but for some reason, you always feel far away from you."

Wu Xingyan lowered his eyelids and said, "You should do what you like."

"I like it." Fu Zhan replied as a matter of course, "At that time, I felt that as long as I was closer to you, I could do anything. Speaking of which, I also applied for the agent of your company, but I was not accepted. Isn't it perverted?"

He smiled lightly.

"It's okay." Wu Xingyan didn't know what to say, and he held back for a long time before slowly saying, "I didn't become a star because of Jiang Mu."

Fu Zhan was choked, and it took him a long time to let out an even breath, "You are really... so bad at comforting people."

"You don't need to," he thought for a while, and felt that this half sentence was really ambiguous, so he added, "I mean, you don't need to waste your time, it's useless."

"I know." Fu Zhan replied.

After all my time is running out.

Compared with Fang Ningjie and Yuan Ru, the two of them had very few conversations.

Fu Zhan turned around in his mind, thinking that the only intersection between the two of them was the entertainment circle and Jiang Mu, but because Wu Xingyan entered the circle... In the final analysis, Jiang Mu is the only bond between them.

Thinking about it this way makes me angry and sad.

Fu Zhan asked self-destructively, "How are you and...him?"

Wu Xingyan was a little surprised, but he replied honestly, "Very good."

"I thought you had such deep feelings for Jiang Mu..."

"You never called him Jiang Mu before." Wu Xingyan replied calmly, "Didn't you?"

Fu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then turned his face away and sighed deeply, "You didn't call me Xiao Zhan before... We have all changed."

Wu Xingyan really wanted to say that I have not changed, but thinking about Fang Ningjie's special status, he still held back.

"I know you are a stubborn person, and you don't ask for anything in return from the people you approve of, but it's easy to suffer." This topic has already been mentioned, and it's not bad to simply spread it all out. What's more, he found that, as expected It was only when Jiang Mu or Fang Ningjie was mentioned that Wu Xingyan added a sentence or two.

It's depressing.

"After all, he is still young. There is such a big difference between the two of you. Whether it is status, class or preferences, you don't get along very well." Fu Zhan paused, and suddenly realized that what he said was really annoying, so he quickly added Said, "I'm worried that you will be cheated."

If it is another ten years, who will heal your wounds then, a fool like you?

He thought sadly.

"I like him. It's my business. Besides, this kind of thing is not 100% paid, and you can get 100% back." Wu Xingyan's tone was so serious that Fu Zhan was surprised, "I believe he will become A first-class screenwriter, he will definitely stand on the international podium. As for other things, he doesn’t like to accommodate, so I will accommodate.”

"What you get in exchange for it won't last long." Fu Zhan suddenly raised his voice, with a kind of outraged anger, "You know it very well! You have a knife on your head. Besides, you are so good, It should be worth better, why should you wrong yourself?"

"I'm not wronged." Wu Xingyan said calmly, "If it doesn't last long, it's because he doesn't love me. It's his business and has nothing to do with me. You think I'm excellent and deserve better. How do you know? In my eyes, isn’t it excellent and better?”

"You..." Fu Zhan knew he couldn't say anything about him, so he could only hold back his breath, "Forget it, you chose it yourself, don't regret it."

"will not."

"Talk to you one more word, I will really be mad at you..."

"Have you ever regretted it?" Wu Xingyan interrupted him and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"What do you regret?" Fu Zhan's face turned cold, "Regret for ruining Jiang Mu's reputation? Regret for planting Fang Ningjie? Or regret for falling in love with you?"

He suddenly stood up straight and faced Wu Xingyan.

The light in the corridor was very bright, according to which his face was very pale, but he was also firm, "You asked this question before, Shi Yi asked it, and I asked it myself. But I can tell you again now, I have done it I never regret anything. Whether it is against you being the leading actor in a movie, changing your career to be an editor... or liking you, I never regret it."

"I'm jealous of Jiang Mu, not because he was jealous of his former high position, but because he occupied something I cherished for ten years without knowing it." Fu Zhan chuckled, "So I poured dirty water on him, When Wu Guangchuan approached me, I didn't refuse directly, but recommended Yuan Ru to him. I do hate him, but I won't kill him directly. In words, you are right not to choose me. I have a high heart Arrogant and ruthless—don’t look at me like that. Why did Yuan Ru return to China? Why did her husband suddenly go into debt and jump off the building? It’s all because of me. I did a lot of nasty things in places you can’t see, but I will never regret."

Fu Zhan gently turned his chin thirty degrees, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and said with a half-smile, "Why that expression? I am indeed your rival in love, but don't look at me like a murderer for the time being." .”

Wu Xingyan turned his head in surprise, and he saw Fang Ningjie behind him with a gloomy expression.

"Ning Jie!"

Fu Zhan interrupted him, and looked at Fang Ningjie with a smile, "Do you mind if I have a few words with Xingyan?"

Fang Ningjie took a step forward, and the light finally hit him, revealing that expressionless face.

"Tired? Let's go back and rest." Wu Xingyan was not worried that Fang Ningjie would suspect Fu Zhan and him, but he was a little worried that he would be sad when he heard the last words.

Fang Ningjie nodded at him, and then walked over without looking at Fu Zhan.

It's just that when passing by Fu Zhan, he said softly: "Even if you owe it, it's Jiang Mu who owes his words. What does it have to do with you? Don't make excuses for your behavior."

Selfish.

He ignored Fu Zhan who was frozen, walked up and put his arms around Wu Xingyan's waist, leaned his head on the other's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "I'm exhausted, hungry and sleepy."

Wu Xingyan pushed open the door, with a 'big head' stuck in his chin, he turned around with some difficulty, and said, "Let's rest first."

With his back turned to him, Fu Zhan nodded inaudibly.

"It's so late and there's nothing to eat in the hotel, what should I do..."

"Click."

"I brought instant noodles." Fang Ningjie threw off his two shoes as soon as he entered the room, and hopped onto the bed with hooves. "There are no spicy ones! You can just soak whatever you want."

Wu Xingyan paused while flipping through his travel bag, "Really? You can't eat anything spicy? How about I go to a convenience store to buy it?"

Fang Ningjie turned over, put the pillow on the back of his head, and watched him messing around, "Whatever to buy, it's so late. Just eat these flavors, you can go clubbing as you like, I'll eat whatever you choose .”

Wu Xingyan couldn't help smiling, and walked over to touch his hair, "So obedient?"

Fang Ningjie leaned over, wrapped his arms around his waist, and muttered, "Of course, you are my boyfriend, I don't listen to you, who do I listen to?... I will eat less of these things in the future."

"You...you don't have to wrong yourself for me. You can eat whatever you want." Wu Xingyan's heart was soft and messed up, he was happy but also a little bit uncomfortable, "I'll make you whatever you want."

"Who said I'm only doing it for you?" Fang Ningjie snorted softly, "I can't do it for myself? I'm still so young, so I must pay attention to my body. Eating more junk food can easily cause cancer."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want." Wu Xingyan replied dotingly.

Fang Ningjie nestled in his arms, like a large pet cat, clingy but gentle.

"I believe he will become a first-class screenwriter, and he will definitely stand on the international podium. As for other things, he doesn't like to accommodate, so I will accommodate."

"What you get in exchange for will not last long."

Wu Xingyan stroked his hair lightly, feeling a little sour and sweet in his heart, "Ning Jie, are you happy?"

Fang Ningjie was silent for half a second, and then he replied in an unimaginably gentle tone, "Happy."

"I'm happy too." Wu Xingyan said.

Fang Ningjie smiled lightly. He originally wanted to talk nonsense, but thinking of what Yuan Ru said to him tonight, he suddenly changed two words.

"fool."
