Back to the Future [Kai Yuan]

At the end of the last performance session, Wang Junkai finally let go of his tense rhythm and went backstage to wait for his assistant and driver to pick him up.The aftertaste on the stage was still there, and he sat alone in a corner of the dressing room in a daze.

The door was pushed open suddenly, and someone walked in.

It was Qianxi. Wang Junkai raised his eyes and glanced, but his posture did not move.

Seeing Wang Junkai listlessly off the stage, Qian Xi asked, "I heard you're not going to the celebration? They're all waiting for you."

Wang Junkai waved his hand indifferently, not interested.

Qian Xi found a stool by the way and sat down, chatting with him casually.

"I'm not happy what happened to me."

"fine……"

Wang Junkai himself was still confused, coping feebly.

"Actually." Qian Xi thought for a while, and tried to say in a comforting tone, "You're doing pretty well today, really."

"...Well, thank you."

Seeing Wang Junkai's unwavering expression, Qian Xi sighed silently, got up and prepared to leave.

Just as he walked to the door, a hesitant voice suddenly came from behind.

"Uh...that?"

"?"

"...That is, have you ever been afraid?"

Qian Xi looked at the person sitting in the corner in doubt, the radiant appearance on the stage just now seemed to be still in front of her eyes.

Wang Junkai rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, they rarely talked about these topics in the past, "I see you have always been so calm..."

It's a bit difficult to think about it, and not everyone can open their hearts anytime and anywhere, and they have to look at the person they want to pour out their hearts and lungs.

What's more, since they each opened their own studios, they have always been regarded as each other's competitors by the outside world, although he himself has never taken it seriously.

"Yes," Qian Xi thought for a moment, then said while recalling, "...When I first entered the circle, I often didn't know what to do and how to do it well. Don't look at me with a paralyzed face, but I was also very scared in my heart .”

"Really?" Wang Junkai raised the corner of his mouth, thinking of someone's nickname.

"What about now, after so long, are you not afraid now?"

"Of course there are, but very few."

Qianxi: "Although I still have a lot of work every day and there are very few people, I have already decided to develop as an actor anyway, and then this year I successfully got admitted to the Chinese opera. I think so... Although I don't know if I can Where will you go in the future, but since you have decided on the direction, go slowly, there is nothing to panic about.”

"It's good," Wang Junkai said with envy on his face, "It's also good for you." At least do what you want.

"I'm not you and Wang Yuan," Qian Xi said, probably affected by emotion, "You two can sing well, and you can also act. There are many choices for what you want to do. It's rare for me to come up with a single. It’s okay, it’s really not good to be a professional, so I can only film, but I also like acting.”

Singing and acting, this choice seems to have been made once last year.

"I... hey, I can't tell... Wang Yuan, I don't know where he is."

Wang Junkai felt a bit sour, that's right, Qian Xi was able to be calm and at ease because he had already seen his future path clearly, so he was able to walk truly calmly.

As for myself, I spend most of my time in filming, and my initial intention of singing has become a sporadic itinerary embellishment. On the surface, I accept all the arrangements of the studio, but in fact, only Wang Junkai knows it. In his heart, he has always been Never really obeyed.Yes, it was himself who pushed himself into this path of no return with various reasons and excuses.

Obviously, I can't balance my career mentality, but I still want to master other people's life plans.He knew very well that he couldn't let go of Wang Yuan, but he always didn't know what to do.

Even if he was given another chance to do it all over again, he would just be like a fool blindly looking for guarantees from Wang Yuan, asking for that pitiful sense of security, is he still a man?

Wang Junkai rubbed his tired cheeks, he could see his weakness clearly.It turned out that he himself had been standing still, still counting on others to turn around and wait for him.

When Wang Junkai came back to his senses, Qian Xi had already left silently, and he was the only one left in the room.

Beside him was an unremarkable cardboard box with a note on it, which was left by Qian Xi.

"Souvenir from Jakarta, cheap for you, second birthday present."

Then the assistant came in and told him the car was here.Wang Junkai picked up the carton and went to the basement with a group of people.Detouring a few aisles to avoid possible encounters with fans, Wang Junkai got into his newly bought Land Rover, leaned on the back seat, poked his head out to say goodbye to the staff, and evacuated with the driver.

"Go straight home?" the driver asked.

"Ah."

Wang Junkai was still thinking about the conversation in the lounge just now, and looked at the roadside scenery absently.

The more lively the night is, after the car drives out of the wide Yuelai Avenue, there are more and more food stalls on the side of the road, and the supper life has just begun.

A kind of intimacy called "hometown" invaded, and the tired limbs and bones instantly relaxed.

Wang Junkai took the carton left by Qian Xi, opened it and looked at it under the dim headlights.

Inside lay a pair of small handcrafted mugs, with swirls like Van Gogh's stars printed on the surface of the cups, and the handles of the two cups have bumps on each other, and when put together, it happens to be a complete last quarter moon.

"This kid..." You don't care if he doesn't see it, even if you give it a gift, Wang Junkai raised the corner of his mouth, and the previous low mood gradually dissipated.

As if inspired by something, Wang Junkai had a new idea.

Wang Junkai immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his assistant asking if he had seen Wang Yuan, and the other party replied quickly, saying that Wang Yuan had gone to the airport as soon as he got off stage.

……

Wang Junkai immediately asked the driver to change the route: "Turn around, I'm not going home! Take Tongmao Road, go to the airport first!"

The driver skillfully turned the steering wheel and slammed on the accelerator, and the performance of the off-road vehicle exploded instantly, like a white horse galloping towards a new destination.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Junkai finally pressed the call button, and the beeping and waiting tone repeated indefinitely, making one's heart beat faster and his patience was almost exhausted.

"Hey?"

"Where are you? Have you taken off yet?"

"No, it's late."

"Then you wait for me! I'll be right there!"

Ten minutes later, Wang Junkai's car was parked in the airport parking lot. Wang Junkai found the hat and mask in the trunk to make himself look as low-key as possible.

At this time, Wang Yuan's phone call came, and Wang Yuan told him to lean the car against a certain exit of the parking lot, and told him to sit in the car and not get out.

While Wang Junkai was still in doubt, a boy wearing a long windbreaker with the brim of his hat pulled down came from the elevator, turned his head and glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention, walked up to him, quickly opened the car door and got in.

Wang Yuan took off his hat, looked sideways from his seat, his eyes sparkled and seemed very excited.

"... When is your plane?" Wang Junkai asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I've changed my booking," Wang Yuan said with a smile, "I can catch the earliest flight tomorrow. By the way, why are you here suddenly?"

"..."

Wang Junkai felt that he was at a loss for words at the moment.

"Uh...that's right, I want to tell you about that, that gift of yours that I like very much..." Wang Junkai answered indiscriminately.

"What? Hot pot?"

Wang Yuan looked at him meaningfully, but said in his mouth, "But I saw you didn't like the way you looked on stage just now. Didn't you say 'it's okay'?"

Wang Junkai was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to explain.

"That's not what it means..." Wang Junkai sighed helplessly. After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said, "You gave me hot pot, so you should accompany me to eat..."

Hearing this, Wang Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, covering up the gloom that flashed in his eyes.Wang Yuan looked at him with a smile, patted Wang Junkai's arm pretending to be serious, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, just eat! Where's my pot?"

"Uh, the pot you sent... seems to have been divided up after stepping down..." Wang Junkai said quickly, "It's okay, let's go to the store to eat now, I treat you!"

Wang Junkai called the driver again, found a clean and unremarkable small hot pot restaurant near the airport, and settled for supper first.

Gu Nian was outside, and the driver had to drive, the three of them didn't order any wine, and there was only a table of guests far away.

"Happy birthday! Xiaokai." Wang Yuan raised his teacup and repeated it again.

Wang Junkai nodded, needless to say some things now, the two lightly clinked glasses.

People who have been wandering for a long time, when they smell the smell of red oil at the bottom of the pot, they don't think about anything. In front of the hot pot in their hometown, they don't have any troubles.

After eating and drinking, Wang Junkai went to pay the bill, and sat in the back seat of the car with Wang Yuan, and the driver drove back to the city.

"I'm so full, go for a drive anywhere." Wang Yuan suggested.

The driver was their elder brother who had worked together in the old company, so he naturally knew Wang Yuan, and the driver kept chatting with Wang Yuan during supper.

I sigh how fast time is, the trainee era seems to be still yesterday, but now they are getting more and more popular.

"Believe it or not, Wang Yuan, if you go shopping on the street now, there will be 100 girls rushing up, they are too crowded to walk."

Wang Yuan didn't care, and shrugged with a smile, while Wang Junkai looked out the window expressionlessly.

The driver brother seems to be very concerned about the entertainment industry recently, and another topic came up: "Xiao Kai, my niece is chasing your new drama, and she shouts "Kai Kai is so handsome" in front of me every day!"

Wang Junkai scratched his head embarrassingly, glanced at Wang Yuan from the corner of his eyes, Wang Yuan regained his energy, and started chatting with the driver again.

"It's "The Secondary School Boys in Northeast Tunli", isn't it really good?" Wang Yuan said, "I haven't even had time to watch it yet! Haha, how does Lao Wang feel about himself?" Wang Yuan poked him with an elbow, and Wang Junkai seemed Not wanting to talk about this much, I picked up my phone and started swiping.

"That's right! Let's just say that our Chongqing Diwaer is good-looking, and everything he plays is good-looking, that's..."

"Is it Sazi?" Wang Yuan asked curiously.

"It's just that the Northeast accent doesn't sound like it. I knew it was Chongqing when I opened it! Hahahahaha..."

"Ha..." Wang Yuan seemed to have been turned on some kind of laughter switch, and he and the driver immediately laughed together.

Beep, WeChat prompts new information.

Wang Junkai [Are you happy to be kidding me! (Smile)】

Wang Yuan [Don't be so cold, just sit next to the two and send WeChat (ghost faces)]

Wang Junkai put down his phone helplessly, but the person next to him ignored him and turned to continue chatting with the driver.

"Hey, cauldron, have you seen my play?" Wang Yuan asked casually.

"Yes! It seems that there is. The one with the little beauty is filming that one? What is it called..."

"..."

Wang Yuan suddenly felt the pressure from the eyes of the neighbors, and tried to explain: "No, we are not together, so... just filming!"

"Beautiful!" The driver's elder brother was still unsatisfied, and gave his pertinent comment, "It's a good match, we are good-looking, we are well-matched!"

Wang Yuan stopped talking, sighed, picked up his phone and started sending WeChat messages.

Wang Yuan [...well, the driver brother likes to joke, hehe (black line)]

Karry Wang [You filmed movies together, and recorded variety shows together. (Indifferent face)]

Wang Yuan【Hey, I said it during the day, I have nothing to do with her!What do you mean by sarcasm? 】

Wang Junkai [I won't say anymore, anyway, I can't control you when you grow up]

Wang Yuan【Ah... Take care of me, I beg you to take care of me!Hey, big brother...]

Wang Junkai【Then you promise I won't gossip with her】

Wang Yuan [You think too much...and my gossip is not only... (boo)]

Wang Junkai [Not in the future!You promise me! 】

Wang Yuan held his phone and didn't reply for a while, thinking of the next round of publicity strategy handed over by the studio not long ago, the item of "scandal publicity" is still listed.

In Wang Junkai's eyes, his hesitation was naturally interpreted as a signal of disobedience.

Wang Junkai closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. He frowned and thought for a while, opened WeChat to consider a few lines and then deleted them. It took a while for the message to be sent out.

Wang Junkai [You are not yet an adult, playing with your friends, even gossip is not good for you. 】

Wang Yuan [I know, but, isn't it too soon? 】

Wang Junkai [What is coming soon?Coming of age, or just playing with friends? 】

Wang Yuan […]

Wang Yuan【No, I mean adult】

Wang Junkai [You want to play tricks on your friends, tell me how old you are, be careful not to be fooled by others]

Wang Yuan [oh]

Wang Yuan [I'm going to be eighteen, and I'm not a little monk]

Wang Junkai [You are kidding, are you really going to play with your friends? 】

Wang Yuan【No, just... just say whatever you want】

Wang Junkai【Wang Yuaner, tell me the truth, do you like someone again? 】

Wang Junkai became nervous and looked at Wang Yuan.Wang Yuan also happened to turn his head to look over, put down his phone, and stopped playing the game of sending WeChat face to face.

Wang Yuan looked at what Wang Junkai was about to say, he was stunned and smiled, but turned his head to look out the car window.

Wang Junkai pondered for a moment, asked the driver to pull the car over to the side of the road, and ordered the driver to take a taxi with two big bills, and he drove by himself.

Wang Yuan also took advantage of the opportunity to sit in the front row and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Don't you want to go for a ride?" Wang Junkai reminded him to put on his seat belt and stepped on the accelerator.
