dance with you

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of filming. Tonight, according to the plan, Jiu Lanshu would board the plane and set off. The shooting location of "Letter" was also transferred to a sanatorium in the suburbs.After the shooting ended that night, the crew members were very excited, and they wanted to hold a barbecue meeting in the open space of the grove next to the nursing home. Cone Shengling had no intention of participating, but was forced to stay by the smiling prop masters .

Everyone went to buy ingredients, and Zhuo Shengling didn't have any special preference for ingredients, so he handed over this task to his assistant, and sat alone on the bench in the backyard of the sanitation center in a daze.

Taking out the phone, he unconsciously flipped out the address book with his fingers, and his gaze stayed on the only name in it for a long time.Since the death of Nadeko Shindo, Sui Shengling still carries his mobile phone every day out of habit, but he almost never uses it again.And Jiu Lanshu also happens to be a person who hardly uses a mobile phone. Usually, when the two of them are together every day, they don’t feel anything. But this separation, Cone Shengling feels as if the two of them have walked into a black hole and completely disconnected. .This feeling made Cone Shengling very uneasy.Cone Shengling also seemed to realize for the first time that the relationship between the two of them was so fragile that once they were separated, they might never find each other again.

In a few hours, Jiulanshu will be leaving. Have you already headed to the airport?Have you encountered any problems?Cone Shengling hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help typing a text message. Just after pressing the send button, the door of the backyard was suddenly pushed open with a "snap!"—the panting Lan Tangying appeared there!

"That, that... did you see a dog?"

It was the first time I saw Lan Tangying's face showing such an undisguised panic, I forgot to be on guard against Cone Shengling, so I stood there with one hand on the door, stammering and asking.

"Dog?" Zhui Shengling turned off the phone, and at the same time subconsciously repeated the question.

"Yes, yes...a pure black wolfhound...I'm looking for him..." Lan Tangying said still a little sluggishly.

Cone Shengling shook his head.

"It's strange... it should be near you..." Lan Tangying seemed very frustrated, but unexpectedly walked in without any defense, and sat down on the bench beside Zhui Shengling. down.

Hearing what Lan Tangying said again, Zhui Shengling seems to have a little impression: I don’t know when it started, but when I was shooting, it seemed that there was a black wolf dog that was almost half a person’s height wandering around me, which was not surprising. The thing is, probably where is the dog nearby?Cone Shengling didn't think much about it, now it seems that he came with Lan Tangying?On the first day, I didn't seem to see Lan Tangying with the dog.

Seeing that Lan Tangying was in such a low mood, the originally reticent Zhuo Shengling couldn't help asking:

"Your pet?"

"--no!"

Lan Tangying quickly denied it as if frightened, but after noticing Zhui Shengling's surprised expression, he calmed down again and muttered in a low voice:

"I'm just helping other people..."

Feeling that Lan Tangying was a bit unusual at this time, Zhuo Shengling didn't say any more.Lan Tangying unexpectedly didn't intend to leave, the two of them just sat side by side silently.

In the long silence, Zhui Shengling's thoughts could not help but slowly fly away again, to the bits and pieces of the past with that person.In the process of recalling, without any precautions, the person next to him suddenly spoke again, saying:

"—Whose news are you waiting for?"

This unexpected question instantly pulled back Zhuo Shengling's thoughts!When he came back to his senses, he realized that he kept sliding the screen to glance at it and then lock it, sliding the screen to glance at it and then lock it again, almost forming a subconscious action.

The pair of blue-green eyes next to him were still watching him, their eyes were different from the previous cautious ones, as if they were penetrating and understanding something.For a moment, Zhui Shengling had a feeling that someone had seen through his thoughts, and slowly put the phone in his palm with some difficulty. Before he could finish saying "No...", Lan Tangying then slowly spit out another name, which made Zhui Sheng Ling was completely stunned:

"Jiu, Lan, Shu?"

Being exposed so defenselessly, it took a lot of effort for Zhui Shengling to react!The rumors about the relationship between Lan Tangying and Jiu Lanshu that I heard before abruptly came back to Zhui Shengling's mind. Suddenly, Zhui Shengling decided not to hide it. He tried to calm down and nodded at the same time:

"Yes."

Lan Tangying shrugged her shoulders clearly, with a look of indifference:

"Actually, you don't need to be nervous at all. People in the circle already know about your affairs. The reason why the public hasn't found out yet is because you don't want outsiders to pay too much attention to your affairs, so Master Shu suppressed all the news. , otherwise, do you think those reporters who have a keener sense of smell than dogs would miss such explosive news?"

"What, he...?!" Hearing about this suddenly, Zhui Shengling was completely stunned.He...Jiu Lanshu, Jiu Lanshu suppressed all the news about them? !Indeed, both Jiulanshu and Zhuo Shengling are heavyweight public figures now. If their affairs are exposed, it is hard to imagine how the media and the public will react. The only thing that is certain is: Zhui Shengling will not be able to Live the peaceful life he longed for.Therefore, suppressing the news is indeed the result that Cone Shengling hopes to see.But... why Shu never told himself that he did these things?Why does this kind of silent giving make Zhui Shengling feel an inexplicable heaviness in his heart...?It's as if it's something that belongs to me, but I don't know much about it like an outsider, or—in fact, I'm the real outsider?

Facing Zhui Shengling's silence for a while, as if he had guessed what Zhui Shengling was thinking, Lan Tangying shrugged again: "Shu was originally not a person who would ask others for credit for what he did." As he said, Lan Tangying He folded his hands behind his head, lay down on the back of the bench, and even cocked his legs in a carefree manner, as if he had just been released from prison, and got along with the past and Cone Shengling mode is completely different.

"Well, now that there is finally no one else, we can also talk about other topics."

Lan Tangying put her head on the back of the chair and looked up at the sky.In the gray-blue sky at night, the first stars can already be seen faintly.Lan Tangying stared at those faint lights, her blue-green eyes unblinking, and slowly, it seemed that her thoughts had drifted to that distant place.When he spoke again, his voice was a little dazed, as if talking to himself, saying:

"To be honest, I am the one who is most curious—Master Shu, why did he choose you?..."

Lan Tangying suddenly raised this question, and Zhuo Shengling fell silent.While thinking about it, the courtyard was silent, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the nearby bushes.In the end, it was Lan Tangying who broke the silence:

"Perhaps none of these Shus have told you that Shu's life experience is not simple, perhaps more complicated than you imagined. Shu's parents passed away when Shu was a child."

Instead of looking at Cone Shengling, Lan Tangying looked at the sky and murmured:

"When Shu was a child, he was already granted the 'crown'. The glory of this crown is supreme, but it is so heavy and cruel for a child. I don't know how many people want to take this crown from him, And he finally climbed to the top by stepping on the bones, won the crown, and became a well-deserved king. To tell you the truth, I have followed Lord Shu for many years, and I never feel that I see through him. Not now. He is calm, meticulous, Wisdom, so perfect that it makes people shudder. Because he is a god-like existence, I am even more puzzled, why, God would choose you, why? I really can’t figure it out..."

I can't figure it out...until—until the words Jiu Lanshu said that day:

"—The person I like, even in the midst of decay, will still struggle to bloom."

The first time I saw Zhui Shengling, at the reception, Lan Tangying seemed to have an epiphany when he saw the teenager struggling in the seizure.At the same time, Lan Tangying felt unprecedented despair: What Jiu Lanshu was looking for was not only the night sky that accompanied him faithfully, but also another star that was shining like herself unwillingly.

"For so many years, I've been going the wrong way..." Lan Tangying slowly closed her eyes as she muttered to herself.
