no Guanyin

Chapter 16, 16

After seven o'clock in the morning in winter, the bright sky is completely blocked by several layers of curtains in the hotel room, the room is pitch black, and all the furniture is swallowed up until only vague outlines remain.

After a night of hangover, the continuous vibrating and ringing bells under the pillow seemed to come from a dream. You Yingxi rolled around on the bed, and accidentally stretched one leg to the edge of the bed. The sudden feeling of suspension made her heart thump ,woke up.

The sound is still ringing, it's not a dream.

You Yingxi frowned and fumbled for her phone, it was an alarm.

The moment it was opened, messages from Xu Nian and several other people flooded in.

You Yingxi yawned and opened WeChat, and Xu Nian's avatar was marked with more than a dozen unread messages.She was very sleepy at first, and when she read one by one, a carp stood up from the bed.

Fumbling to open the wall lamp, the orange light gently streamed around.You Yingxi glanced around the strange room in a hurry, this is not a low-grade hotel.The woolen coat she wore over the sundress when she went to the bar last night was meticulously hung on the hanger in the corner.

There is a landline on the modern white side cabinet, with a light blue post-it note pasted on it, and the warm air from the central air conditioner blows up and down gently.

Xu Nian expressed his apology and concern for You Yingxi on WeChat.

The more she thought about it last night, the more regretful she was. She shouldn't have handed over people to Jiang Wanzi to take away at will. At one o'clock in the morning, she called Jiang Wanzi and said that she was resting in another room.Xu Nian was worried, so he came to ask in person.

Jiang Wanzi.

Taking the opportunity of this person's name, the episode after being drunk last night flashed back in his mind without a timeline at all.You Yingxi couldn't help but bury her face in her palms, and lay back, trying to get off the warm bed to numb herself, but it wasn't enough, so she pulled the quilt over to cover her head and face.

After a while, she got up again and peeled off the sticky note on the landline.

Jiang Wanzi really did not rest in this room. The words on the paper, like her, are neatly arranged horizontally and vertically. The frame is large but elegant, which may be the only trace left by her.

You Yingxi glanced at the suspender skirt she was wearing, she pursed her lips, and dialed the phone number on the note.One sound, two sounds, three sounds... Sweat dripped from the palm holding the post-it note.

When the girl was a little disappointed and wanted to hang up, the phone was connected.

Her heart lifted, but she heard another person's voice.

Xiao Zhou: "Miss You, did you wake up so early? Can I call the hotel service for you? Maybe drinking some hot porridge in the morning will make your stomach feel better."

It's Jiang Wanzi's assistant. She has a round face and looks similar to Song Keqi. She looks small, so she's easy to bully.

You Yingxi thought, luckily she was Jiang Wanzi's assistant.

After a few polite words, You Yingxi went straight to the point: "Where's Jiang Wanzi?"

Xiao Zhou: "She is directing and filming, so she is not very free."

The rest of the content is some instructions, Xiao Zhou is careful and serious, she thanked her, and hung up the phone.

You Yingxi replied to her friends’ WeChat messages, and just after replying, the hotel waiter brought breakfast, which was a combination of hot porridge, side dishes and steamed stuffed buns.

Her body smelled of alcohol and sweat, and You Yingxi's sporadic drowsiness had long since disappeared. She couldn't bear her slovenliness and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

You Yingxi leaned on the sink and moved closer to the half-length mirror.She is a little short-sighted, not very tall, about two or three hundred, and she doesn't usually wear glasses unless she is in class.She raised her neck slightly, and the bruise on her neck seemed to have faded a little. After touching it, it didn't hurt so much.

It seems that it is not a dream.

She woke up in a daze once at night, with her eyes half-closed, and the feeling of a cotton swab on her neck being lightly smeared with medicine. She felt pain, as if she had kicked that person.

The light in the bathroom reflected on You Yingxi's face. The fair and moist complexion was the natural effect of no makeup. She was at an age where she would not be swollen and haggard even if she stayed up all night and caroused.But right now, what she was thinking about was, did Jiang Wanzi help remove the exaggerated makeup last night?

The woman brought her back, applied medicine to her, removed her make-up, and seemed to have done everything, but the one thing she didn't do was to change her clothes.

You Yingxi's fingers touching the bruise trembled slightly, and she stared at herself in the mirror for two seconds in a daze before she began to undress and take a bath.

Xu Nian was worried about the wrong person, she was not afraid, it was her who was afraid.

This morning was filming an exterior scene.

This movie is called "Nobody Intoxicated", a commercial film.Chu Xu knew that Jiang Wanzi had a background in making literary films, but he wanted to make money, and Jiang Wanzi wanted to try, so he found a book with a wide audience, and the two hit it off immediately, and most of the film crew they formed were young.

The Wetland Park in Jiang City, the area near the lake was surrounded by strings drawn by the crew.

Just finished filming a scene, the leading male is Qu Li, a young literary student, and the leading female is Zhao Hehe, who won the TV show last year. The two are wearing down jackets, and Qu Li is still holding two buns in his hand.Jiang Yang and Fang Bai are in Group B in charge of the assistant director.

The water and the sky are the same color, the sun is about to come out but has not yet come out, and a faint golden color is outlined by the clouds.Last night, the snow stopped in the middle of the night, and there were still remnants of the dead branches of the withered trees on the shore.A group of white swans swim in the subfreezing lake, with long and slender necks, they bend down to look for food in the water.

Xiaozhou handed over a mobile phone, she bent down, and whispered beside Jiang Wanzi.

Jiang Wanzi, who has always been courageous, had a rare hesitation on whether to call back the phone.

During this period, I overheard the conversation between the photographers.

They looked into the distance. Outside the lake in the Wetland Park, only a temple with a golden roof could be vaguely seen halfway up the mountain.

"What do you mean? It's Huayan Temple, a place we must go to during the Chinese New Year in Jiang City. There is also a Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival. It has a history of hundreds of years. I heard that making a wish is quite effective."

Jiang Wanzi rubbed the center of her eyebrows, but still dialed the phone.

On the other end was a person who had just taken a shower. Halfway through blow-drying his hair, Fuzhi paused for a moment, and heard the phone ring.

A familiar phone number, she dialed just before taking a shower.Opened and connected, there was a short silence between her and the other party.

Then, You Yingxi recognized Jiang Wanzi through this seemingly awkward but ambiguous silence, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "Hey, why don't you talk?"

Slightly frivolous laughter, just as the girl said, without the mask, she has to show a lot of demeanor.

I don't know how much she remembered about the confession and teasing last night, but in the face of the magnanimity of young people who are always better than adults, Jiang Wanzi has no choice but to bow down, regretting that she didn't speak first, and seized the opportunity to not set the tone of the atmosphere like this Vague.

Jiang Wanzi: "Do you have a headache?"

She skips the questions and speaks out of concern, like she thought her older sister would.

"It's okay, did I drink a lot last night?" You Yingxi didn't intend to go to the bar to get drunk. In fact, she got drunk very rarely. indulgence.

At the time when I had made up my mind, I went to spend the night at Min Younian's house, which was very close to the bar.

Jiang Wanzi was an accident in the plan, and this variable made You Yingxi indulge in the sensual and grotesque nights, indulge in enjoying the world of the two of them, and forget her original intention of drinking.

Maybe getting along with Jiang Wanzi is a great relaxation, surpassing the effect of alcohol.

The beautiful woman with her legs crossed on the director's chair remembered how hard it was to support her all the way last night, so she smiled helplessly: "What do you think?"

It’s actually not a lot, but how good can a high school student drink.

"Oh, I've caused you trouble again."

The half-dry hair was still dripping with water, and fell on the shoulders of the clothes along the slightly upturned ends of the hair that had not been combed.A small piece of wet cloth was moist, like a girl's thick fan-like eyelashes, a pair of clear glass beads soaked in spring water.

She blinked lightly, and was about to turn the conversation to last night's confession mixed with alcohol, but she forgot, she didn't mention it, and she didn't mention it, but it was obvious that the other party was the most sober one last night.

The sound of people walking on Jiang Wanzi's end and the sound of equipment came over, before You Yingxi could speak, the man said lightly: "It's okay, you can trouble me next time there is such an occasion."

"After all, you are Uncle You's daughter."

You Yingxi was taken aback, but she wanted to add this sentence at the end, and the distance between them was widened, as if returning to the starting point of neighbors.The unspoken words rolled in his throat, and he swallowed them back.

She heard that Jiang Wanzi was going to hang up the phone, she was not reconciled, and asked again: "Is this your mobile phone number?"

Jiang Wanzi closed her eyes and sighed in her heart, she is good at refusing, being indifferent and ignoring, but this time she has nothing to do with this girl who is only short of liking her on the surface.

Because she knew that she was also insincere.

"A work phone is not always with you."

Deliberate alienation, Jiang Wanzi hoped she would understand.

Someone shouted on the other end of the phone: "Director Jiang, is this light suitable now?"

Jiang Wanzi hung up the phone as if she had been invited, because she was in such a hurry that she seemed to be fleeing.

You Yingxi's arm holding the mobile phone fell down, and she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Such ups and downs of mood were rare for her, and her emotions were controlled by another person.

She couldn't help but wonder at what moment in the past she fell in love with Jiang Wanzi.

Sadness is only for a moment, You Yingxi has a tough side in her bones.

She didn't draw from elementary school, and her basic skills were poor. She made up for it with time and hard work, spending night after night in the studio without company.The summer cicadas will rest, and the winter trees will freeze. Year after year, she tirelessly brushes up the words on the inscriptions, in order to satisfy Yu Shurong's excellent dream that has not yet woken up.

You Yingxi is concerned about what the people around her expect of her, and she does not hesitate to lock her true self in a cabinet that has been neglected for many years.

Jiang Wanzi wanted You Yingxi to be a dispensable person in her life, but You Yingxi understood her implication, but she couldn't return herself to her original position.It's not like the stubbornness of "I prefer not to", but somehow, she feels that the other party may not be willing to stop hastily like this. She thinks, it may be Jiang Wanzi's gentleness from beginning to end that gave her the courage to be sure.

From New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the lunar new year, You Yingxi didn't have to go to cram school or studio for a few days off.But because You Zhuangchen and Yu Shurong are also on vacation, it is often the most difficult time for her at home.

This year is better, probably because You Yingxi wandered outside for two days. On the day she returned home, she took off her jacket with a stand-up collar. The bruises that hadn't completely faded seemed to hurt Yu Shurong's eyes.

Her mother stood up with a bang, the expression on her face changed again and again, the anger suddenly faded, and the pitiful pity was unrestrained, as if she couldn't decide for a while, what attitude to treat her The daughter who had hurt and was deeply hated by her.

You Yingxi called her parents and went upstairs.

Her back was stubborn and indifferent, like a wall, and Yu Shurong shrank back when she wanted to go forward.

Ever since my grandfather passed away, I spent every Chinese New Year at my home. Even the adults found it boring during the Spring Festival Gala. You Zhuangchen was snoring in the background of the skit cross talk.Yu Shurong was flipping through the photo album, the first half was all about You Yinuan.

Half an hour ago, the family sent their thoughts of her to the underworld through the medium of incense.

You Yingxi went to the second floor. The wild horse night in the studio was more than half finished, she continued to paint, and got up to go outside near the early morning.

Counting down the countdown, You Yingxi put on her coat, pushed open the foggy glass door, walked to the balcony, leaned against the European-style railing, and dialed the phone. The fireworks bloomed in clusters, colorful, reflected in the dark night sky.

The beeping stopped abruptly, and a female voice that was familiar and hadn't been heard for a long time sounded, the voice was lowered, and the timbre was low and charming.

"Hey."

yes hello.

Not hello?She knew it was the girl.

You Yingxi: "Jiang Wanzi."

The other side hummed.Hearing You Yingxi's unconcealed pride, Jiang Wanzi gave her her work phone number in order to alienate her, but forgot that she had called when she was picking her up at the gate of Jiangshi No. [-] Middle School.

He also underestimated You Yingxi's determination. It took him a long time to look through the call records before he found this number.

"Happy New Year."

What came was the girl's low voice, as if whispering in her ear only for her.

Happy New Year, I only say it to you alone.

Jiang Wanzi smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

She was lying on the bed in the hotel without turning on the lights, and the movie was projected on the wall, black and white.In order to avoid You Yingxi, she lied that she would be filming today, but did not allow You Zhuangchen to go to her home for the New Year.

The hotel is by the river, where people celebrating the New Year gather.The fireworks in full bloom are as bright as the day, different fireworks, but the same sky.For the first time, Jiang Wanzi didn't find the bang bang bang annoying.

She looked out the window and smiled.

Jiang Wanzi received the first gift of the new year.It is You Yingxi's longing, engulfing her lonely courage.
