red dust under the lamp

"Making a movie to be the heroine?" Xie Yichen was puzzled.

The narrow path only allows two people to pass side by side. Ning Jue leaned over the wheelchair to let the old man who had run in the morning, and waited for the man to run far away before explaining leisurely: "It's shit luck."

"You never said anything about being a leading lady, you like acting?"

Xie Yichen was very cautious. The Ning Jue she met before was no match for an actress. From her experience, she was probably deceived by others—but on the road of being deceived and deceived, Ning Jue went even further. Hei, who has more experience than her, won't see the snare and sneak in ignorantly. She has no position to mention Ning Jue in terms of social experience.

"It's confusing to talk about, and I can't explain it clearly."

Ning Jue pushed Xie Yichen to the tree-lined avenue, passed a pram that was parked unattended on the side of the road, Xie Yichen picked up the coat that was about to fall off the floor, and put it back in the car.

Walk slowly.

For this so-called movie, Ning Jue temporarily asked the boss of the housekeeping company for leave, saying that he had some troublesome things to deal with, and the boss happily said, "Is there anything I can do for you? You have to come back as soon as possible, when the time comes we The backbone of the organization will go to Japan to study team building, and you must be indispensable, and you will be the supervisor at that time."

So Ning Jue said half-jokingly and half-seriously that she was going to make a movie.

The boss was not surprised: "That's even better, we will ask you to be the spokesperson when you become popular! I'll say you look like Momoe Yamaguchi, a star."

"Didn't you still talk about Sayuri Jiyong two days ago?" Ning Jue wondered what kind of face he had.

"You are much prettier than them."

"Stinky rascal." Ning Jue labeled the boss out of thin air. The boss touched his head and smiled, feeling ashamed that the people he knew were too old-fashioned. What the women said was that there was something to do at home, and the boss didn't talk too much.

Xie Yichen suddenly interrupted her recollection: "Then, which company is it?"

"I haven't signed the company yet."

"Who did you sign the contract with?"

"I haven't signed yet..."

"Have you received any money?"

"Not at all."

"Then..." Xie Yichen hesitated for a while before asking firmly, "Are you going to take advantage of you?"

"not yet."

Ning Jue said "not yet", and she was not sure. She always felt that Boss Kong was going to abduct her into bed next time, but she didn't have any evidence. Boss Kong was making a fuss, but there are many people doing it. , Not all of them are colorless.

Xie Yichen thought it was true, and after thinking about it based on his experience, he always felt strange: "Students can't be taking homework, right?"

"It's not."

Boss Kong and her are in accordance with the so-called "gentlemen's agreement". Ning Jue herself does not dare to sign the contract. Her education level is limited, and if she signs it, she will suffer legally. There is a little room for development... She is so innocently thinking about things based on past experience.

I met the director, a director who is neither famous nor unknown, had a meal together, and talked about some literary and artistic creations. Ning Jue didn't understand. Bring a notebook, and when the menu comes up, he grabs the menu after ordering, and copies the menu in his own notebook, dragging the waiter to ask how the dishes are made.

Boss Kong, the investor, did not overly coerce anyone with his own story. He just took out a thick autobiography. Of course, it was written by someone else and placed it in front of the screenwriter. He asked him to refer to it. Characters of first love.

The director said: "You have explained it eight hundred times, and you have seen it with our team... Art creation is completely dependent on reality, which is boring."

Boss Kong sneered: "I don't know how to create literature and art, you can think about it, but I spent money and asked for something."

"All right."

Ning Jue drank a glass of lemonade to the bottom, thoughtful.

Boss Kong used to be a director, so it's interesting to say that now.

That night, Boss Kong gave her 10 yuan in cash and told her to wait a week before joining the team, and he would cover all board and lodging by then, and he would also send her an assistant.Ning Jue thought of Zhang Li's miserable appearance in Pingdu, and thought of the position of assistant pitifully, so he immediately gave the assistant a vacation, and came back when he joined the team.

However, this week is still not free. Boss Kong invited an acting teacher to teach Ning Jue. It seems that he is concentrating on presenting the image of a perfect and playful girl on the screen. Ning Jue is naturally used to pretending. The teacher said that she has aura and talent. points, but it's too late, she lacks systematic exercise and needs to be cultivated by the director-she can eat this bowl of rice.

But Ning Jue didn't want to eat this bowl of rice.She is now 21 years old, she is not young, and she does not dare to compete with those children in professional colleges in terms of strength and acting skills - during these times, she also watched movies in recent years, and met Li Juanjuan after a long absence.

Li Juanjuan is really powerful, Li Juanjuan is the only one who wants to eat this bowl of rice, but she is half-hearted and forced. Boss Kong insists on setting her up on the altar. She left Nancheng immediately, but she didn't want to leave.

The day before the start-up, she found Xie Yichen and was able to rest for a day and tell the story.

Xie Yichen is always worried: "Although the literary and art circles are similar, my aunt and I are not familiar with people in the film industry, so we can't take care of you, you will suffer..."

"Think about me, why would I suffer if I go?" Ning Jue let go of the wheelchair and walked in front of Xie Yichen. Xie Yichen cared about her unscrupulously. law to respond.

She walked in front of Xie Yichen with her hands behind her back, Xie Yichen walked by herself, she walked backwards, and smiled for a while facing Xie Yichen: "Don't talk about me, I will ask you about Jiang Wang - he goes to him after work...to that man's place, Two days and two days, there will always be some days with you, will that man be happy?"

"Be quiet."

"understood."

"Robin has not made excessive demands so far. Sometimes he will come, but not overnight. The two of them are still measured and polite, which is different from...other people I have met." Xie Yichen said.

Since Ning Jue came to Nancheng, she has not met Jiang Wang formally, let alone her boyfriend who does not exist in the eyes of outsiders. The last time she stole Jiang Wang's wallet, she hadn't let Xie Yichen know. So what, Jiang Wang concealed it too well, and put a photo with Xie Yichen in his wallet. If he didn't know the truth, it was an impeccable disguise.

"Then both of them are men, both of them are... um... who is on top of that thing?" The more Ning Jue asked, the more outrageous she became, but she was full of smiles, and she was not annoying just because of her pretty face. He walked briskly with his hands behind his back, as if mocking.

"Just ask around." Xie Yichen was annoyed, turned the wheelchair, turned his back to Ning Jue, and was about to leave.

In fact, when I asked men, I naturally thought of women, what should women do with each other?Ning Jue is also very curious, but curiosity is curiosity, Xie Yichen must know it?But is this trying to test Xie Yichen?Or are you deliberately harassing her?Obviously not responding...

Ning Jue knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, took the wheelchair and dragged it back: "I saw Li Juanjuan two days ago."

He abruptly changed the direction of the wheelchair, and the topic changed accordingly. Xie Yichen stood up and walked with a cane. Ning Jue walked slowly while supporting the empty wheelchair: "Actually, I didn't see it, but I heard that there is such a project. Li Juanjuan Back in Pingdu, it is said that the "White Snake New Edition" has been selected again, and it is going to be adapted into a movie. It is said that some dance elements will be innovatively added, and it is still being discussed."

Speaking of the White Snake, Xie Yichen's face softened a bit: "It's a good thing."

"That white lady, and dancing..." Ning Jue said in her heart that Xie Yichen would be better, but Xie Yichen was still limping, and what did he say "I don't think about these things anymore", she knew she was bored and didn't understand today. Why do you always say the wrong thing.

"Then Li Juanjuan is the most suitable, her dancing skills are very good." Xie Yichen praised Li Juanjuan frankly.

Ning Jue touched her hot earlobe, and took half a step back, not letting Xie Yichen notice her embarrassment.

Xie Yichen took the initiative to talk about the past in the dance troupe: "Li Juanjuan is like a proud peacock, if I don't go, she must be better - but the director is my aunt, and I came back from abroad, so I directly took the lead dancer's position She works very hard, she has a good attitude and method in doing things, and she never makes small moves behind her back... I was too narrow-minded at the beginning, but I actually recognized her, but I wanted to show myself, as if I was crazy, and felt that I I have nothing, I have to grab something..."

With a faint smile, Xie Yichen was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ning Jue: "What do you think?"

"What you say is what you say." Ning Jue didn't say much.

"Then you don't agree?"

"Of course I think you're better... But I don't understand these literary things, and I'm not as educated as you," Ning Jue walked forward, "But I think there is a certain energy, like a Although I can't tell you the soul of the play, I can see it clearly. Knowing that there is such a soul, this play makes people cry and make people laugh. I have never seen you dance, only saw you fall, but I think Li Juanjuan is almost there."

"So boastful?"

"Don't like to hear it? Then I'm good at cursing." Ning Jue said.

Xie Yichen had a good understanding of this, stretched out his crutches and pretended to poke her waist, Ning Jue hurriedly dodged, turned around and smiled: "I will join the group tomorrow, and I won't see me for a long time, you should cherish me today."

"Tomorrow?" Xie Yichen was shocked again.

Not to mention the delay in joining the group tomorrow and today, I just joined the group without signing anything...Which group did I enter, who was the director and who was the screenwriter... She inquired one by one, and found that it was indeed a serious director and a serious screenwriter Serious camera...all of them are decent people, it seems that Ning Jue is the least serious one among them.

Acting...acting...they stopped being themselves one after another and became others.

But Xie Yichen had already returned to herself, but Ning Jue wanted to be someone else. She was stunned for a moment, and finally said nothing more: "You know how to measure."

"It seems to be threatening me." Ning Jue said.

Xie Yichen: "Of course not... But this is too unexpected, what do you want me to say? Gou Fugui, don't forget each other?"

Ning Jue giggled, which made Xie Yichen hard to keep a straight face.

Ning Jue considered many things.She should have avoided it, but she was about to leave Nancheng, and she didn't want to leave Nancheng, so she chose and chose, and simply gambled that the joy in her heart watching Xie Yichen could support her, like a new rush ——

It's pure love without any intention.

What about liking?If Xie Yichen said now that he divorced in one go in spite of the eyes of the world, and confessed his feelings in front of Ms. Xie, Ning Jue would be willing to die with her immediately.

But in the end, everyone has their own concerns, and Ning Jue still has doubts about the relationship between women. She is extremely contradictory, and feels that half of Xie Yichen's love is in line with what she once thought - and she should not respond to such feelings. emotion.

It's a little weird, even Xie Yichen asked her to keep her voice down when she mentioned Jiang Wang and others.

After all, there was a sense of shamelessness missing.

But this decency is Xie Yichen's own traits.

After thinking about this, I can't eat it or live it if I like it. Even if I like the exquisite gifts in the window, I have to think about it for a long time through the window. It's not easy to get.

She was suddenly very sad.

Smiling and blinking, he deliberately grabbed the crutches, making Xie Yichen scramble to maintain his balance, and finally had to sit in a wheelchair again, and Ning Jue pushed her for a walk.

At the end, we went shopping together, made tofu skin buns, fried chicken legs, and cooked porridge. Xie Yichen watched her busy at the kitchen door.

Cover the pot and let it steam hot.

Ning Jue wiped her hands and looked back at Xie Yichen: "What are you looking at? I'm not cooking for a show."

A little bit of blame, she has been doing housekeeping for a long time, and she can cook some dishes. Sometimes she will help when the client is lazy, and occasionally learn some dishes, which is very different from Zaiping.But when Xie Yichen watched, she always felt weird, and suddenly thought that in the past in Pingdu and Haijing, Xie Yichen often stared at her silently.

She didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she almost tied herself up.

"I'll bake you a cake when my leg is healed." Xie Yichen made a special promise probably because he was standing by and did nothing.

Cake... Ning Jue remembered the cake that Xu Liwen gave her, and it was the only one alive so far.

She suddenly wanted to mess around, and said don't wait until her leg is healed, she wants it now... But she has no position, Xie Yichen has always kept his word, if he tells her, he will definitely give it to her.

"Oh yes, your house has an oven..." In the end, it was just a casual sentence.

"I'll teach you later?" Xie Yichen said suddenly.

Ning Jue smiled, turned her back and turned on the tap to wash her hands. How could anyone not like Xie Yichen?It's never been this difficult for her to get just the right amount of attention to her subtle needs.

"I don't learn, the skills are overwhelming and heavy." Ning Jue walked towards Xie Yichen.

"People say you don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills."

Xie Yichen was still laughing, but Ning Jue suddenly held her shoulder, lowered his voice, and heard the gurgling sound of the pot next to her ear: "Xie Yichen, say it again, you like me."

The surroundings were suddenly silent, everything disappeared, the sound stopped, the space turned white, the feet were empty, and there were only two people left.

Ning Jue sent herself into Xie Yichen's arms, with a soft body, a soft tone, and a somewhat conciliatory attitude... Xie Yichen let go of the hand holding her against the wall and hugged her, but he always felt uneasy.

"I could say it many times...but you don't want to hear this..."

"Don't like me..." Ning Jue turned his face and paused every word, "I will, run, run."

"Why do you have the nerve to say it with honor?" Xie Yichen shrank his head and looked at Ning Jue, and suddenly confessed frankly, "I like you."

Ning Jue was startled, and immediately jumped away: "Didn't you say it or not?"

"You don't want to hear it, but I want to say it."

"Don't say it!" Ning Jue covered her ears.

"Anyway, you're going to join the group tomorrow. I don't know when we'll see you again. You just want to make excuses for yourself." Xie Yichen said.

Ning Jue escaped from the kitchen.

"I like Ning Jue." Xie Yichen's voice chased after her.

Ning Jue hid in hiding, this voice was everywhere, covering his ears, it penetrated through the bone marrow.She was like a mouse caught in a trap, bumping into walls on all sides, panicking, unable to find an exit, and struggling blindly.

"I'm older than you...how can I be calculated by you...you don't allow me to say, Ning Wangyu...why are you so afraid? I like me, I didn't ask you to respond, I didn't put pressure on you , I didn't say now that I want a divorce, and I will coerce you if you don't come with me, I didn't... it was you—"

"I'm not afraid!" Ning Jue stood up fearlessly, resolute as if she was going to die, rushed to the kitchen to turn off the fire, took out the tofu skin buns from the steamer and put them on the plate, adjusted the sauce separately, turned her back to Xie Yichen, and cooked With a carefree look: "I'm afraid that if you are obsessed with obsession, Ms. Xie will say that I am a mistress and destroy family harmony!"

The chopsticks hit the corner of the white porcelain dish, making a crisp sound.

She opened fire to fry the chicken, the skin was facing downwards, and the fat collided with the hot aroma. Ning Jue turned it over with long chopsticks, and added in a panic: "What am I afraid of? We are friends, to persuade you to return from the wrong way... that is I’m not afraid of being a mistress, I’m making a film to be a mistress, the boss of the investment said I’m like a first love, 20 bought me—”

It’s over.

She said the wrong thing three times today, today's almanac should remind her in large characters, she should shut up, avoid talking too much, and don't talk about love/things!

Ning Jue never felt that she could not speak so well.

He shut his mouth, poured the chicken leg meat into the pot, picked out the shredded ginger, and the chicken skin sizzled against the bottom of the pot.

She stayed in Nancheng because of Xie Yichen. She didn't want to hide at first, but she didn't want to respond. That's why she accepted Boss Kong's idea and planned to take a step at a time.

Speaking of it this way, it really seems to echo Xie Yichen's saying that "people like me" are not even as good as mistresses, because their morals are damaged...

It was the invisible dust under the lights, and everyone pretended to turn off the lights.

The light in her heart was on and off, Ning Jue wanted to apologize, but if she continued speaking, she was afraid that she would be ashamed and angry, so she jumped out of the window and fell into the rose bushes, dying a romantic death.

They took them out and put them away, scooped up the porridge for dinner, and the two moved their chopsticks silently.

The tofu skin was filled with meat, radish, corn, and cabbage. Ning Jue couldn't eat half of it.

Because Xie Yichen said: "When you were in Lianhua County, if you stayed with us, at least you would know how to love yourself."

Ning Jue opened his mouth, but remained silent.

"Of course I'm not a normal person... I shouldn't like you..." Xie Yichen's chopsticks trembled a little, but he didn't say anything, his voice hung in the air and never fell.

Then, there is the dull chewing sound.
