In the city [entertainment circle]

43

Shen Xiao left Song Yi's room and stood in the corridor. He suddenly thought that not long ago, Li Ruosen lived in this hotel just like them.

But where is he now?

Shen Xiao took out his mobile phone, Li Ruosen's Weibo was never online again, and WeChat did delete friends, he looked at the number in the address book.

After thinking about it, I still chose to dial.

After a few short beeps, the phone was connected.

"Hello?"

"It's me." Shen Xiao said, he breathed out, holding the cigarette case in his pocket, he thought for a while, and walked to the safe passage, "Shen Xiao."

"Mr. Shen." Li Ruosen said, his voice was slightly alienated, without the enthusiasm before, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"The script is finished?" Shen Xiao asked, in fact, he wanted to ask why Li Ruosen left so suddenly, why he didn't reply to his message after leaving, and why he blocked himself.

But after thinking about it, these didn't seem suitable to ask, so I chose the safest answer.

"I've written seven episodes of the plot." Li Ruosen said, his voice sounded businesslike, "Did Ruoyu contact you?"

"Song Yi wanted to accept this show and asked my opinion." Shen Xiao said, he was leaning on the stairs of the safe passage. cigarettes in the pack.

"Are you ready to pick it up?"

"I have to see the whole script." Shen Xiao said.

"Oh." Li Ruosen replied over there, and then did not speak again.

Shen Xiao didn't speak either, and the two of them just remained silent. The faint sound of breathing was accompanied by the faint sound of electric current, which was transmitted thousands of miles away through the signal connection.

The silence was short and long.

Neither of them hung up the phone.All the lights in the safe passage were extinguished, leaving only a little light on the screen of the mobile phone, illuminating the square inch.

Shen Xiao couldn't see his expression, but he knew how cautious he was at the moment, he didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

He has lived for so many years, and he has never been the kind of person who is good at words.He was worried that after what he said, Li Ruosen would hang up the phone, so he didn't speak at all.

Li Ruosen didn't hang up the phone either, Shen Xiao could hear his faint breathing, perhaps because the safe passage was too quiet, or because the darkness bred a hotbed of ambiguity, he almost felt that the breathing sound in his ear.

"I'm 37 years old." Shen Xiao said suddenly, "I've never liked anyone. This is how I've lived for so many years."

"But now I know, I want to see your face."

In the final analysis, he is not a saint. He really misses Li Ruosen and wants to see him. This is a fact, just like what Li Ruosen said before.

Anything that shouldn't be is an excuse.

Like it or not, there is nothing you should or should not do.

There was no word on the other end of the phone, and Shen Xiao's sudden confession was like a stone thrown into the sea, without arousing the slightest sound.

There was no one in the safe passage, Shen Xiao waited quietly, his palms were sweaty, only he knew that he was so nervous.

It seems to be back in junior high school, facing the girl I like.

However, at that time, he didn't know what liking was, he just thought that girl was nice, and the brothers around him made a fuss, so he expressed his feelings noisily.

When he grew up, he didn't like anyone, he was born with weak feelings, and the affectionate appearance in the movie was just the result of careful rehearsal over and over again.

But until now, he didn't understand that when facing the person he really likes, any rehearsal or premeditation is bullshit, the most straightforward and simple, but also the most thrilling.

"... Teacher Shen." Finally, Li Ruosen's voice came from the phone, "It's late now?"

Shen Xiao squeezed the cigarette in his hand.

"How about seeing you tomorrow?"

The cigarette was thrown into the trash can by Shen Xiao, he beat the wall in silence a few times, and then said to the phone, "Can't it be done now?" He looked at the time on the phone, "It's only ten o'clock. "

"But I'm already lying on the bed." Li Ruosen's voice was soft, without the alienation before, "Where are you?"

"I'm in the hotel." As Shen Xiao said, he followed the safe passage and climbed to his own floor, "The progress of the crew here is very smooth." He took three steps in parallel and climbed to his own floor.

Then he opened the safe passage, and without apologizing to the customers who were frightened by his sudden appearance, he took the key card in his pocket, swiped the card to enter the room, and said, "You deleted my friend?"

"Huh?" Li Ruosen seemed a little confused on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Then I'll add it again?"

"I'll add you." Shen Xiao said, then hung up the phone and added Li Ruosen's friend again.

Li Ruosen passed the application, and Shen Xiao immediately sent a video request.

After a while, Li Ruosen agreed.

Then Shen Xiao saw Li Ruosen leaning on the bed, he looked like he had just woken up, wearing a nightgown, showing a part of his collarbone.

His hair was much longer than before, and now he looked at Shen Xiao, "Did you go out to exercise?"

Shen Xiao looked down at his sportswear, "I'm used to it."

Li Ruosen nodded, and he yawned, "Actually, I'm not going to answer the phone." He said to Shen Xiao, perhaps because he was suddenly woken up, his tone was more charming than usual, " But I thought, if you called late at night, there should be something to do, so I answered."

"What did you and Song Yi talk about?" He seemed to be out of sleep right now, and started to inquire about other news, "Ruoyu did tell me before that he wanted to find Song Yi."

"What do you think?" Shen Xiao asked.

"Actually, I don't care." Li Ruosen said, he didn't have any plans to adapt it, and if Ruoyu didn't make it happen, he wouldn't have the current development, so he didn't care much about casting.

Shen Xiao looked at the faint dark circles under Li Ruosen's eyes, and guessed that he should have been writing scripts during this time, so after thinking about it, he said to him, "It's late, why don't you rest first."

Slowly dimmed the light around him, and then whispered, "Your voice is quieter."

Shen Xiao unconsciously lowered his voice, and then inexplicably had the illusion that he was talking to a high school student, as if Li Ruosen was worried about his parents' rounds at the moment.

Although from some perspectives, it is true.

Shen Xiao thought about Li Zhengying's face, and remained silent.

Li Ruosen didn't realize what Shen Xiao was thinking, he leaned on the bed and whispered to the screen, "What's Song Yi thinking?"

"Don't you care about casting?" Shen Xiao asked, he hadn't showered yet, so he didn't want to sit on the bed, so he walked to the side sofa and sat down.

"But Ruoyu cares." Li Ruosen said, he was leaning against the head of the bed, his nightgown was loose, perhaps because his voice was lowered, it sounded softer than usual.

"He's also hesitating." Shen Xiao said, he was thinking whether he should remind Li Ruosen that his nightgown was loose, and now most of his chest was leaking out.

Li Ruosen nodded thoughtfully, and talked to Shen Xiao for a while, and then he spoke more and more slowly, looking really sleepy.

"Go to sleep." Shen Xiao said, "It's time for me to take a bath too."

Li Ruosen nodded, he said good night to the screen, and then turned off the video.

Shen Xiao looked at the call that had ended. In his original opinion, the word cute probably only applied to children under 5 years old, or small animals.

But for the first time, when he saw Li Ruosen's eyes narrowed because of sleepiness, he felt very cute, what did he look like?Like a cat napping in the sun.

Shen Xiao put down his phone, he took out the cigarettes in his pocket, he wanted to smoke now.He suddenly recalled his teenage years, when he felt that he was a person with no future.

The future is too far away to be practical for him, he just wants to live in the present.

But now, he is so looking forward to the future, looking forward to every day in the future.

The years have smoothed the edges and corners of his heart, but the stone still exists... He picked up the phone, looked at himself on the screen, and there were traces of time in the corners of his eyes.

On the chin is a new stubble.

His eyes were cold and stern, and he didn't look like a young man anymore.

However, Shen Xiao felt that he was happier now than when he was young.
