pure white crown

This is a studio apartment located in the UK.

It includes a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a long and narrow corridor.In the room covered with woolen jacquard carpet, various clothes were scattered on the sofa and bed where the two sat, and the subtle sound of water flowing came from the half-closed bathroom door facing the bed.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a person standing in front of the mirror of the sink with his back to the door.

The sound of running water came from the faucet of the sink.

The person standing in front of the mirror was wearing loose and sloppy clothes and trousers, his hair fell to his shoulders, and a messy beard surrounded his lips and chin.

A baseball cap is upside down on the shelf on the left side of the sink, and a pair of sunglasses are randomly placed beside the baseball cap.

The mirror reflected the face of the man in front of him.

His face was both familiar and unfamiliar, it was Lu Yunkai who came to England before.

After Lu Yunkai finished looking at his face in the mirror, he frowned slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't intend to take care of his shaving. Instead, he put the baseball cap on the side on his head and put The brim is depressed.

He looked in the mirror again, and found that he couldn't even recognize the person in the mirror. He was satisfied immediately, stopped tossing, turned off the faucet, and walked outside.

He went to the living room, picked up the tramadol and several other medicine bottles on the cabinet, poured out a dose, and swallowed it with water.

Then he walked to the entrance, put on his shoes and left the house.

Today is the first day that Jiang Xingxin's play will be screened in cities other than the troupe's local city.

This is not uncommon for a drama troupe, but for Jiang Xing, taking the leading role in a play for the second time, and being able to tour the country for the first time playing the leading role, no matter what, it is a very good start.

This kind of "very good" is reflected in various aspects, for example, the people in the troupe are becoming more and more friendly to him, for example, Hosea is becoming more and more friendly to him, for example, the audience who like dramas are more and more fascinated by his performance .

They are keen to talk about him, keen to pay attention to him, and even keen to follow in his footsteps, watching drama performances repeatedly from city to city.

But maybe... some of them are just too keen?

Jiang Xing is not sure if this is his illusion, but in the past two months, he has always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from behind, and someone was following him.But when he tried to look back, there was nothing behind him.

Jiang Xing was playing with the star chart that Lu Yunkai had given him before landing. Apart from this sudden thought, he didn't have any other bad feelings.

Maybe I've been under too much stress lately?Jiang Xing thought.He put his watch on the mirror table in the dressing room 5 minutes before the time was up, and walked out of the actor's dressing room.

Huozia was doing the final inspection outside, when he saw Jiang Xing coming out of the room, he smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Not bad?" Jiang Xing responded.

Huozia nodded in satisfaction: "You are always so calm." Jiang Xing laughed.

They hugged each other, and then Jiang Xing, along with other actors, prepared to go on stage behind the curtain.

As brilliant and brilliant as ever, the grand performance under the watchful eyes of the public won applause from the audience at the end.Jiang Xing returned to his dressing room with heavy make-up on his face. Just as he entered the door, his progress stopped.

In the temporary dressing room of the theater, everything remained in its original position.

But there was one extra that appeared on the table of his dressing table.

A delicate red rose appeared next to his watch, pretending that they were a couple.

Jiang Xing stepped forward and picked up the rose from the table.

He fiddled with the petals of the rose, which were still a little dewy.

He buckled his watch back on his hand, and as for the rose that suddenly appeared, he glued it to the mirror of the dressing table.

The mirror reflected his face, and there was a little swaying and stretching out, the deep red of rose petals.

The intensive national tour continues.

Every time Jiang Xing went to a place, every time he participated in a performance, there would be some little things in the dressing room that seemed to be just gifts from fans, but were as eye-catching as the roses that were placed next to his watch in the first place.These insignificant and inconspicuous things were piled up among the gifts sent by the real audience, but Jiang Xing could always see them at a glance.

It was a strange feeling.

Jiang Xing pulled the little gift out of the flower mud of the flower basket again.

He received a little snowman today.

The snowman is wearing a red Christmas hat and colorful clothes, with a smile on his face and a naive attitude.He paused before touching the snowman with his hands, and tried to lick it with his tongue instead.

Candy indeed.

While the taste of sweetness was spreading to the taste buds, the powdered icing sugar was enthusiastically alive in his mouth.

It was delicious, very rich in flavors - he took another bite and added a crescent-shaped lace to the Christmas snowman's hat - soft like mousse, but more delicate than mousse in taste Soft, with a cotton candy feel.

...but these are not the most important.

Jiang Xing thought.

He has never traveled as smoothly as this time, almost to the point where he can get what he wants, for example, a taxi will stop in front of him as soon as he wants to travel, for example, he can get it immediately when it rains. An umbrella or something.

Just little things.

But isn't life made up of these countless little things?

Jiang Xing was indeed very curious about the person behind him.He tentatively named the man behind him "X".

Who is this "X"?What purpose does it do this?

The first thing Jiang Xing thought of was Lu Yunkai.

But he had confirmed that Lu Yunkai was filming in the United States at this time, and to be honest, why did Lu Yunkai do this?If the other party has time to come, they can live and act together.

After he ruled out this candidate, other people he knew were of course even more unlikely.

Jiang Xing tried to find the other party, but just like his guess, this search ended in vain; he also tried to refuse, but "X's kindness" was also very stubborn, no matter how many times he refused with any attitude, when The next time he needs everything, they will always appear in front of him in the most appropriate way at the most appropriate time.

He felt that he had probably encountered a ghost hiding in the dark night.

Or goblins.

Lu Yunkai has been following Jiang Xing's itinerary, from one city to that city, and from that city to another city.

He hid in the shadows, stepped on another person's footsteps, stared at another person's figure, and his restless heart gradually felt peaceful.

At the same time, he was still in contact with Jiang Xing through his mobile phone.

The news and words from the mobile phone also gave Lu Yunkai great comfort.Every time after talking with the other party, he would have this idea: Maybe after a period of time, half a month or a month, his mood will gradually calm down, and he will regain his previous feeling-he can Get a little better, a little stronger.

It was a rare night of rest.

Jiang Xing in front suddenly left the troupe and walked in a new direction.

The street lamps on the side of the road made his shadow as long as the shadows of the street greening trees. Lu Yunkai watched them and found that they meandered between the asphalt road and the stone brick ground, and there was an uninterrupted movement between the shadows. Fusion and separation, ever-changing.For a moment, he caught sight of these shadows moving forward on the road, and walked about half a long street away. When the figures and footsteps in front of him became more and more chaotic, he suddenly noticed Suddenly, a slightly smaller shadow could no longer be found!

Lu Yunkai was startled suddenly, he raised his head immediately, and found that he had walked from the quiet and remote road to the center of the business district, the storefronts on both sides were colorful, the pedestrians in the center were endless, the sound of conversation, music, traffic, All kinds of big and small sounds and high and low lights gathered together to form a huge and invisible impact, and gave him a head-on blow!

Jiang Xing was gone.

Lu Yunkai suddenly started running.

He quickly shuttled among the pedestrians, quickly searching back and forth between the long street and several nearby turning points.

nobody.

He ran to the storefronts on both sides. He hurried in and out of each storefront, bumping into several people, and was almost accidentally hit by a car while crossing the road.

He didn't care.

But he couldn't find Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing was gone.

The sky did not know when it started to rain and snow.

The dark and cold raindrops and the dots of snow white and light gray mixed in these raindrops make the street spread down from the sky, and are rendered into colorful colors by the lights on both sides of the street.

Pedestrians on the street propped up the rain gear they carried with them, and either went into the surrounding shops to shelter from the rain, or continued to move forward.

Their footsteps became hasty, and the bustling street became deserted at some point, and the heat flow that existed just now seemed to have been blown away by the wind and frozen by the snow.

The rain made Lu Yunkai's coat wet, and Xiaoxue covered his hat and shoulders with a layer of white.

Maybe half an hour, maybe an hour.Maybe shorter, maybe longer.

Lu Yunkai stopped his futile efforts.

He suddenly felt terrified, and this terrified almost knocked him down the instant it rose.

Jiang Xing was gone.

He thought so for the third time.

He is gone.

Did I lose him, or did he lose me?

Does he even want me?

The colorful commercial street is as colorful as ever.

Everyone is on their way home.

Lu Yunkai stood alone, looking around blankly, not knowing which direction he should go.He stood alone, like a majestic rock in the waves among the passing crowd.Together with street lamps, trees, colorful billboards, and smiling dummies, he stood motionless in the wind and snow.

One by one the lights went out.

One by one people also left.

He was dropped here.

Jiang Xing and his possible new partner walked into the hotel building.

They are here this time to discuss the cooperation of a certain new movie, because the movie is still in the process of being cast, so the other party hopes to do their best not to disturb any media—that is, to try their best to get the most out of everyone. Keep a secret in one session.

According to the other party's wishes, Jiang Xing contacted the other party alone during non-working hours. They discussed the role and the script, and the other party seemed to be quite satisfied. targeted audition work.

Jiang Xing had no objection.He went back to rest in the room the other party had booked, and when he was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call or send some text messages to Lu Yunkai, his hand in his pocket found nothing.

He froze for a moment, recalled it a bit, only to realize that he hadn't used his phone all day today, and he didn't hear the ringtone or anything... So he should have left it with the theater troupe?

[I forgot my phone? ] he asked 0021.

[Yes. ] 0021.

[Why didn't you tell me before? ] Jiang Xing said something casually.

[Am I your nanny?Worry about everything? ] 0021 asked indifferently.

[…] Jiang Xing was completely speechless.

They didn't talk much.

Such a itinerary for a tour performance is an exhausting activity for the actors. Even with the medicine in hand, Jiang Xing still feels more tired than usual.

He washed up and rested quickly, and then from the next day, he participated in the interview with the director next door.

For four full days, they talked again, got to know each other, and exchanged ideas with each other. Jiang Xing was generally satisfied with the script and the characters, but the director on the other side was obviously still hesitating and thinking.

No matter what, this was a contact that satisfied each other. The two parties said goodbye to each other, and Jiang Xing walked out of the hotel lobby.

It was another gloomy and cold night.

There was another light snowfall just now, yesterday's snow has not stopped, and today's snow has covered the old one again, layer by layer, shallow enough to lose the ankle.

Jiang Xing found that he was wearing less clothes - he didn't feel it in the hotel, but after he came out on the street, the difference between yesterday's temperature and today's temperature was at least three or four degrees.He let out a breath of white air, turned up the collar of his clothes to shield himself from the wind, checked the direction from left to right, and walked on the way he came and went.

As he took his first steps, he thought incongruously of the little helpers who had been present before him—no one had just sent him a heavy coat today.

Although this is normal, it still feels a bit strange... Thinking about it this way, the reason why he didn't call the police before is because all the behaviors of "X" are just right so that he doesn't feel troubled or worried?

Not long after, the steps Jiang Xing had just taken stopped again.

On a bustling street in a foreign country, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and face separated by many unfamiliar faces.

The other party stood on the street like him.

The other party had a scruffy beard and ragged clothes.

The moment he saw the other party, almost without thinking, Jiang Xing realized what he should be aware of the most.

—He's been here a long time.

——Lu Yunkai has been here for a long time.

But why is Lu Yunkai here?

Shouldn't Lu Yunkai work in the US?

Those scattered beads were suddenly linked together by a rope running through the head and tail.

Why is "X" so patient and caring.

Why does "X" understand everything he needs and be able to achieve it in the most appropriate way that least affects him.

Jiang Xing knew the result.

But why?What is Lu Yunkai's reason for doing this?

He doesn't know... no no, he knows, he must know.

He knows all the pain and suffering of the other party, and he has seen the other party's most down-and-out appearance.

Lu Yunkai looked for him in the crowd.

There is no second answer.

It was him that Lu Yunkai was looking for in the crowd.

He walked back and forth among the crowd, entering one shop after another and coming out quickly again.

He didn't seem to dare to be distracted for a moment, his eyes and head were moving rapidly together, trying to get everything around him into his eyes as much as possible.

He suddenly grabbed someone's shoulder, and the other person turned around, Jiang Xing saw Lu Yunkai slowly let go of his hand, and then he was pushed away by someone, he shook, fell to the ground, he didn't care, he Standing up quickly, he continued to look for another place——

Jiang Xing didn't realize that he had already walked quickly in the direction of Lu Yunkai.

It was a brisk walk at first, and then turned into a trot.

The heart seemed to be stabbed by something abruptly, and it hurt a little, and then the pain seemed to have undergone a rapid splitting and regeneration movement, and it began to become dense and unbearable.

Jiang Xing really felt that he couldn't bear it.

His brisk walk turned into a trot at some point, and then from a trot into a run.

He broke out from the crowd, rushed behind the opponent and grabbed the opponent's arm——

The person caught by him turned his head.

He had a scraggly beard, a purple face, and green eyes.

He is not Lu Yunkai.

Jiang Xing let go of his hand.

He looked around in a daze. He didn't recognize any pedestrians coming and going in the countless shops on the whole street.

He wants to find the one who belongs to him in a strange city, a strange road, and a strange crowd.

The lights at night are still bright, illuminating the city more brilliantly than daytime.

But he couldn't see each other.

It seems to be a certain festival in the city, and the faces of passing men and women are filled with happy smiles.

But he couldn't find Lu Yunkai.

The lights dimmed, and the smiles were like masks.

He walked on the street, just like Lu Yunkai used to, from the street to the end of the street, going in and out of one shop after another.

He realized that he seemed to have lost each other.

...But hasn't he already kept it well in the box?

Time is as unbearable as being imprisoned at this time.

Jiang Xing walked back and forth to many places, countless times he felt that he could see the other person's figure and face when he turned another street corner, countless times he felt that he had already seen the other party's figure and face.

But none of them were Lu Yunkai.

Panic seemed to have found the most suitable breeding ground, and it made people feel at a loss in a short period of time.

Jiang Xing walked quickly on the street, he walked very fast, almost trotting, his eyes were firmly fixed on the space beside him, on everyone near and far away, his fingers were trembling slightly , Feeling that the throat has been dry...

Suddenly, a wave of students who didn't know where they came from walked past Jiang Xing happily. There were so many of them, men and women, embracing each other, occupying most of the street, telling jokes to each other loudly, turning all The line of sight was blocked.

Jiang Xing was pushed away from the original direction by them.

He bumped into another man in the crowd.

He looked back, and just said "I'm sorry", he saw that the person who bumped into him from behind also turned his face back at the same time, with red eyes, and a haggard face that didn't know how many days he hadn't slept well...

Their eyes met.

They stopped.

The crowd separated them, the crowd brought them together, the crowd went on, and they stood still and saw each other.

Snow started to fall again.

The frolicking and exclamation around became the best sound effects to embellish this gorgeous night.

Someone pushed a cart and rumbled past Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing didn't think too much at all, his eyes stayed on Lu Yunkai, he hadn't spoken to Lu Yunkai yet.

He took a black umbrella on the car and a black coat hanging on a hanger.

The umbrella is huge, and the coat is even bigger.

Jiang Xing unfolded his coat and put it on the left half of the sleeve, then he opened the right half enough to accommodate a person, and pointed to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai's gaze also fell on the spare right half. Without thinking too much, he walked over quickly and put his right hand into the spare sleeve.

They were huddled together, body to body.

Jiang Xing found that the opponent's body was limp.

Jiang Xing raised the umbrella with one hand, and wrapped his other hand around the other.

Fine white snowflakes swirled one after another.

They walked into the crowd together and became a very ordinary and unsurprising couple among the countless happy crowds tonight.

Fate brought them together.

Fate made them fall in love.

Fate at the beginning and the end, told them to hold each other's hands.
