lark

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Mr. Lin Nan, congratulations!"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the last scene ended, and Lin Nan's scene also came to an end.The crew surrounded him, and brought a large bouquet of flowers to him, and there was a strong fragrance when he smelled it lightly.The protagonists and supporting actors took a group photo one by one, and at the end, a fondant cake in the shape of the play was brought up for everyone to pose for a photo.

The words on the cake: The geese are gone and the geese are returning to the south, resting in the depths of the forest.

Such a lively scene, such a degree of care, is many times better than that of the previous film.

In the end, both the chief director and the director of Group B also came over to say hello to him, thanking him for his cooperation during this time, and expressing that there will be many opportunities to cooperate in the future.This made Lin Nan very embarrassed, for fear that he would delay the crew's progress at night.

When he walked out of the set, He Shan was so happy that he was fine.

She covered her head with flowers, and showed Lin Nan a thankful expression: "Finally out of the sea of ​​suffering, I feel that my gray hair has come out."

Lin Nan smiled at her, and pointed to the bun on his head: "My scalp is almost bald with this hairstyle every day."

He Shan burst out laughing, urging him to remove his make-up quickly, and he will be able to leave for City Y after dinner.

In the dressing room, two or three makeup artists on duty gathered together to chat, one of them gave up his seat as soon as Lin Nan and He Shan came in: "Brother Nan, sit here, sit here."

Lin Nan nodded to her, sat down facing the mirror, closed his eyes and waited for her to help remove the bun.He Shan was sitting on the chair in the back row with her bag in her arms, playing with her mobile phone boredly.

"Hey, have you guys heard that two of Benyun's projects have gone viral recently?" A girl in the distance was checking Weibo.

"Really? Which two."

"The one adapted from science fiction, and the one co-produced by China and the United States."

The makeup artist behind Lin Nan also joined the gossip team: "Why is it yellow?"

"Lack of money, what else can I do. The two projects that cost more money will be stopped first, so as to ensure that the movies being made will not be affected."

People in the circle have always been very concerned about these upcoming big projects, but in the past it was mentioned that Benyun was rarely related to the lack of money.Lin Nan slowly opened his eyes and listened to their conversation in silence.He Shan had already raised her head to observe his expression through the mirror.

It's a pity that the makeup artists have limited knowledge, and it ends with a few words back and forth, and there is not much information.

After returning to the hotel and checking out, Lin Nan and He Shan boarded the car back to City Y.The road was unimpeded, and the driver drove very fast.

Lin Nan sat in the back row, turned on his mobile phone and searched for some Benyun news, but found no reliable news.Most were vague, mentioning only the delay of two key projects.

"Shanshan, do you know what's going on?" Lin Nan couldn't help asking.

He Shan raised her head with a blank face: "What's going on?"

Lin Nan pulled the blanket on his body, and pretended to say two words casually: "Ben Yun."

He Shan rolled her eyes immediately: "I don't know, I don't care, I don't care."

Lin Nan stopped talking, with a worried look on his face.He Shan looked at him for a while, then sat down next to him and said, "You look like this, don't you worry about that person again?"

Are you worried?

Lin Nan couldn't answer for a moment.

After a moment of silence in the carriage, He Shan said, "It's been a few months, and it's time for you to come out. Embrace your new life, Brother Nan, and you can find better ones in the future."

She thought, with Lin Nan's current conditions, she didn't have to rely on Qi Yubai anymore, and if she continued to act step by step, she would have fame, fortune and status, as well as feelings.The person is gone, so go.

It's a pity that she doesn't know that, for Lin Nan, this relationship is like a movie without a perfect ending, a typhoon that engulfs the storm and a bad cold that lasts for a long time.

When it comes to recovery, it is still a long way off.

"For example, Qi Jiawen, I think he is pretty good." He Shan said.

Lin Nan was taken aback when he heard the words: "It's impossible for the two of us to mention what he does."

"Impossible?" He Shan wrinkled her nose, looking like a serious little comedian, "Really, I, I thought you were going to let nature take its course... If so, then he, then he It's a bit miserable... I think he is full of energy all day long, and he probably thinks he has something to do with you..."

She spoke in a low voice, with a bit of sympathy for Qi Jiawen, the brother, and a bit of regret.She sincerely hoped that Lin Nan and Qi Jiawen could become a couple, so that she could be considered a half-matchmaker.

Lin Nan said seriously: "We really have nothing. I have always regarded him as an ordinary friend, but we can chat better."

He Shan was silent for a long while, and also restrained her jokes and looked at Lin Nan seriously: "If this is the case, can you make it clear to him as soon as possible? Brother Nan, I have no other intentions, I just think...he is a fool , it’s easy to take it seriously, don’t get bogged down more and more..."

The two were very close, and their voices were as low as mosquitoes. The driver in front couldn't hear them chatting, and just listened to the route guidance.

Lin Nan nodded slightly in the mechanical female voice of "go straight ahead" and "take the main road at the second intersection", and solemnly agreed to He Shan.

The nanny's car drove to the entrance of the community. In order not to be too ostentatious, Lin Nan got out of the car and walked home as usual.

He wasn't too familiar with the location of this new apartment, so he couldn't find it the first time, so he went in through the gate and walked around to another area.I don't know if I was thinking of something, but before I walked back to the first area, the phone in my pocket buzzed and vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was Qi Jiawen.

"Lin Nan, are you home?" Qi Jiawen still had a leisurely tone, as if there was nothing in the world that would upset his young master.

"Soon." Lin Nan held up his mobile phone and turned around to find the way, struggling to identify the building number, and finally got a clue.

"Just arrived in the neighborhood."

"Just arrived." Qi Jiawen sounded like he was still on the set, and there was a lot of noise around him, "I thought you had arrived early, but He Shan said that you left after seven o'clock."

At night, the street lamps in the community illuminated a quiet scene, and a few small flying insects flapped their wings chaotically under the lamps.

Lin Nan walked slowly under the street lights, not in a hurry to go upstairs, and was going to end the conversation before getting into the elevator.

"What do you want from me?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"

"That's not what I mean." Lin Nan lowered his eyes and lingered on his feet, "It's just that there are quite a lot of people on the set, and you keep calling me, I'm afraid others will misunderstand you."

"What is the misunderstanding?" Qi Jiawen raised the decibel, "We are good friends, if I call you, will someone care?"

The manager next to him seemed to curse, "Hush your voice, kid!".

Lin Nan didn't speak for two or three seconds, and then slowly said: "Well, we are good friends, we have always been, and we will be friends in the future. You...do you understand?"

It's somewhat embarrassing for him to break through this meaning, but he doesn't want the other party to misunderstand any further.

Qi Jiawen really stopped talking, and after a long silence, he tentatively asked: "Are we just friends forever?"

Occasionally, there are residents walking by, or young people in sports clothes jogging with earphones plugged in.Lin Nan walked along the edge of the grass, trying not to attract attention, and the mask on his face tightly covered half of his face.

"Yeah." He didn't hesitate, "We will always be friends."

After saying this, he looked up and saw the number 5 on the side of the building, which meant that building No. 6 was in front.

Qi Jiawen wanted to say something on the other end of the phone, but Lin Nan looked forward, but landed ten meters away.

There was a car there, the black body hidden in the night, silent, low-key, with the tires sticking to the lawn tiles, trying its best to avoid the range of the streetlights, as if it didn't want to be discovered by anyone.

Leaning against the car door was a man wearing glasses, with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand scrolling through his cell phone, looking a little idle from the side.

Zhang Hong is here.

What did he come for? Did he come alone?

Lin Nan's footsteps stopped for a moment as if stuck in place by glue, and the other end of the phone called him "Lin Nan, Lin Nan?"

He just came back to his senses, pulled up his feet and walked forward, and said to the phone: "Let's talk about this for today."

The car was parked at the entrance of Building No. 6, and I couldn't avoid it no matter what.Lin Nan took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it from his lungs, then crossed the rear of the car, walked to the person who came, and patted the person on the shoulder lightly: "Zhang Hong?"

Zhang Hong was obviously staring at the screen in his hand with all his heart and soul. When he slapped him, his whole body shook slightly.He turned his head with some surprise, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with the index finger of his left hand, stared at the person wearing the mask in front of him for two seconds, and then said, "Lin Nan?"

The mobile phone in his hand was still playing a video of a child riding a balance bike on the road in the community, and there were two sweet smiles from time to time.

Lin Nan didn't make a sound, and pulled down the mask a bit.

Zhang Hong stood upright from the car body, and quickly put the lock screen of the phone into his pocket with his right hand.

Since Lin Nan separated from Qi Yubai, he has hardly seen Zhang Hong again, so seeing him now makes him feel embarrassed.He paused, put on a smile and asked, "Is that your son in the video? So cute."

But Zhang Hong refused to say more, nodded his head slightly twice and remained silent.

The car next to him is Qi Yubai's car, which Lin Nan knows.It was also a Rolls-Royce, the body of this car was obviously longer than the one I used to sit in, at first glance it was obvious that it was for business purposes, and the people in the car must have come directly from the company.

It's just that he waited on the spot for a few seconds, and no one behind him pushed the door to get out of the car.

The willow branches hang down, the moonlight shines on the ground, and there is no sound around.

This kind of silence is a kind of torture for Lin Nan, as if there is a sharp knife hanging on his head, he is always worried that it will fall down in the next second, and worried that it does not exist.

He hesitated for a while, and finally asked Zhang Hong softly: "Are you here to find me? You, how do you know that I live here."

Zhang Hong's expression was indifferent, and his facial expressions were also stingy, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Lin Nan.He tilted his head back: "Of course I came with Mr. Qi."

Qi Yubai was indeed there.

Lin Nan imagined that there was a familiar deep look looking at him in the back row, and he felt a little at a loss. He tugged the sleeve of the sweater on his right hand with his left hand, and stood stiffly on the spot without moving a step.

He didn't know what he should do at this moment, he turned around and left or stayed here, his heart and body seemed to be separated.

Zhang Hong glanced at him and said in a very low voice, "Don't be nervous, he's asleep."

Fell asleep?

Lin Nan was stunned, his face full of surprise.He seemed to have never seen Qi Yubai falling asleep in the car, that person was always strong and indifferent in front of him, except for the negligible fragility last time.

He involuntarily turned his body sideways, holding the sleeves in the palm of his hand with five fingers, and looked at the back row through the glass.

The distance is not close, the car is pitch black, and there is a vague outline.

"What... what is he here for?" Lin Nan's voice became softer.

It's been another month since the last bad breakup, and Qi Yubai hasn't contacted him or seen him again.He thought that this time the two finally came to the finish line after torturing each other, like a marathon, no matter how many stages there are, there will always be a day when they finish.

"I heard that you're done, I'm here to give you a bouquet of flowers, and I'll leave when I'm done." Zhang Hong said indifferently.

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed by his attitude. He didn't know how he had offended him, so he lowered his eyelashes and didn't know what to say.

"You can wake him up now, or leave directly, and I will tell him." After Zhang Hong said this, he turned his back expressionlessly.

With Qi Yubai's character, if he chooses to go upstairs now, he won't bother him after he wakes up.As for the flower, it will probably appear in a trash can.

Lin Nan suffered for a moment, but finally bent down slowly, keeping his face very close to the car window, and only then could he see the situation inside the car clearly.

The people in the car are closing their eyes at this moment, maintaining a posture of sitting upright, still wearing their work attire.He didn't seem to be sleeping soundly, and his brows were slightly frowned.

It's only been a month since I saw him, and this person seems to have lost a lot. His facial features, which were originally sharp and angular, are now more clearly defined, and his eye sockets are also a little sunken.

Is it possible that he is not having a good time?

Looking down, I saw that there was an obvious bandage wrapped around the wrist of his left hand on the central armrest box, from the center of the palm to two inches above the wrist.

Lin Nan was startled, straightened up, turned around and asked Zhang Hong, "What happened to his hand?"

Zhang Hong turned around and looked at him for a while, as if confirming that his concern was true, and then said: "Go to the side and talk about it."

Lin Nan nodded in confusion.

The two walked side by side and walked under a tree three meters away from the rear of the car. They were silent for 2 minutes at first.The occasional passers-by didn't notice the two people in the corner, and hurried past.

Lin Nan stared at his blurred shadow with lowered eyes, couldn't wait, and asked again: "What's wrong with Mr. Qi's hand?"

"Nothing." Zhang Hong's answer was unexpected, "It was wrapped in a bandage to make others think that his hand was injured."

Deliberately making others think that his hand was injured.Lin Nan was even more puzzled, and turned his head with slightly parted lips: "This...why is this?"

"One of the medicines he's taking recently has some side effects." Zhang Hong said calmly, "The left hand will shake. Use the excuse of being injured so that others won't get to the bottom of it."

Lin Nan's eyes gradually filled with surprise, and his tone was a little anxious: "Take medicine? What kind of medicine will have such side effects..."

"Medicine for Mental Disorders."

Zhang Hong's tone was calm, as if it was no big deal at all.Lin Nan felt that the word was very strange, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously, "Psychological disorder?"

"Well." Zhang Hong's eyes have been staring at the rear of the car not far away, "Stress disorder, it's been a few years. I can't tell you the specifics, you can ask him yourself. But it's nothing serious, just like a cold It’s the same as drinking cough syrup when you have a cough, and there is nothing special about this medicine.”

They shared the same bed for half a year, but they didn't even know that he was sick.Lin Nan suddenly felt that he didn't know Qi Yubai at all. If he hadn't happened to run into him and fell asleep today, maybe he still didn't know anything.

His complexion was slightly condensed, and doubts grew in his heart. He no longer cared to hide his concern, and asked eagerly: "Stress disorder... is it a very serious mental illness?"

"I told you it's not convenient for me to talk about it." Zhang Hong frowned, "If you are interested, you can check it out, or ask him directly. If he is willing to tell you, he will tell you naturally."

"Willing to tell me..." Lin Nan repeated, looked at the rear of the car, then lowered his head and muttered, "Why didn't he tell me before?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Nan suddenly remembered what Qi Yubai said that night, he still needs some time to get better.

"Do you think everyone is willing to show weakness in front of others?" Zhang Hong asked back.

"But I am not someone else, we..." Lin Nan muttered, "We are the closest people..."

"The closer you are, the harder it is for you to speak." Zhang Hong's tone was as cold as ice, as if there were already countless words in his belly, which he couldn't hold back and finally uttered, "If you don't understand other people's difficulties, don't blame them for not telling them. Don’t you think it’s not easy for you to live alone? People live in this world, no one has any difficulties and hardships. You are carrying it, and he is carrying it even more. If it weren’t for him, Guang Duanran and Xie Shen would let you eat If you can't walk around, how can you have a smooth journey now?"

Lin Nanru was struck by lightning and couldn't get off the stage when asked by Zhang Hong's tough words. He clasped his fingertips tightly in his palm and shook his head: "I didn't think so... I know that Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi have helped me a lot, and I feel grateful—— "

"No need to say much." Zhang Hong waved his palm, "I just want to remind you that if you have a chance to talk tonight, please don't provoke him again. His illness is not serious and is improving. Because of you, he will As his friend and subordinate, I am very grateful to see a doctor, but you are not a psychiatrist, so don’t disrupt the rhythm of his treatment.”

"I..." Lin Nan's mind was dull, he almost thought he heard it wrong, let go of the sleeve with his right hand, and slowly pointed at himself with his index finger, "Shall I stimulate him?"

He was about to continue asking, Zhang Hong suddenly turned around and walked towards the car.Lin Nan turned his head and saw that Qi Yubai was opening the door and getting out of the car.

The two looked at each other, both slightly dazed.

Qi Yubai glanced at Lin Nan, and quickly said something to Zhang Hong.Two seconds after Zhang Hong got into the driver's seat, the trunk of the car slowly opened.Qi Yubai bent down with his back to Lin Nan and took out a half-person-high black gift box, lifted the lid, supported the whole box with his right arm, and walked slowly to Lin Nan.

"For you, congratulations on your smooth completion."

The plump and elegant champagne roses are layered among the fresh and green gardenia leaves, and the front and back are well arranged. The background of yellow flowers and white baby's breath is loosely tied with brown grid paper and brown ribbons on the outside, which is beautiful and moving.

At this moment, Lin Nan has no intention of admiring it.His mind was full of what Zhang Hong said just now, and he felt wronged and confused.In the darkness, Lin Nan looked at the person in front of him with a somewhat confused expression, and for some reason felt a little unclear.

Seeing that he didn't reach out to pick it up, Qi Yubai asked him in a low voice, "Don't you like it?"

Lin Nan's heart seemed to be pierced by a hair-thin rope, and the two ends were held in the hands of a person, shaking and trembling.

After waiting for a while, Qi Yubai turned his head and looked around, and the flower box in his hand had already been taken away: "Although it is secluded here, there is no guarantee that no one will take pictures. Since you refuse to accept it, then go upstairs."

His tone was free and easy, and he didn't sound like a sick person.

"Why don't you hold it with your left hand?" Lin Nan looked at him.

Then no one spoke, only the breeze, the sound of insects and two indistinct breaths.

After a while, Qi Yubai helplessly raised his left hand and smiled at him, "The left hand is hurt a little, it's not convenient to use it."

"What injury?" Lin Nan asked.

The man obviously didn't expect Lin Nan to be so persistent, and asked him, "Do you care about me?"

Lin Nan's nose suddenly turned sour: "Did I cause you to become like this?"

He would have misunderstood Zhang Hong's meaning, and he didn't understand stress disorders at all. He thought that Qi Yubai had a heart attack due to his stimulation, and he became like this after taking medicine.

Qi Yubai paused: "What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Nan looked at him stubbornly: "Did I quarrel with you and stimulate you..."

Qi Yubai frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Hong who had already sat in the car, and then turned his head to look at Lin Nan, "What are you thinking?"

"I just wanted to ask you what's wrong?"

It's been a long time since Lin Nan looked directly at Qi Yubai for such a long time. Looking at his face now, his eyes gradually became moist.The other party asked them to be honest with each other, but the opportunity was repeatedly missed.

Maybe it was because their previous atmosphere was too strange, a middle-aged man walked by with a large dog two meters away, and looked at them curiously.

Qi Yubai saw it from the corner of his eye, and moved his position in the next second, blocked Lin Nan with his body, and ordered him: "Put on the mask."

Lin Nan didn't seem to hear it, the mask was still half hung on his chin, and all his facial features were exposed.There was nothing Qi Yubai could do, so he simply pulled him up with his own hands, and the movement of his left hand was a bit awkward when he exerted a little force.

"I'll talk to you about this when I find time." Qi Yubai's figure blocked most of the light from the street lamp, and his brows and eyes became blurred again, "You go up first today."

He took a deep look at Lin Nan, and was about to turn around to leave, but someone grabbed his left wrist through a bandage.

"I want to know tonight." After two seconds, Lin Nan added: "Is it okay?"

Qi Yubai couldn't resist him, so he paused for a moment and said slowly, "Okay, let's talk in the car."
