[Zhang Yunlei] Do not forget

In Beijing tonight, there is no moon or stars. The sky seems to be covered by a huge black cloth. The deepest part of the night seems to be an endless hell...

Standing in front of the French windows on the balcony, Niannian looks at the boundless and bustling city at night, the vehicles that flow like water, the little lights on the side of the road, and countless towering high-rise buildings, the courtyard houses in the old Beijing hutongs... all the charms of Beijing city , as long as you stand on a high place, you can have a panoramic view.

At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in Nian Nian's mind. It was when she debuted on the stage. Although she didn't change her face, she didn't see any youthful air, but only she knew how nervous she was at that time. She was scared, but opera makeup and Bai Niangniang's heavy headgear successfully concealed all her micro-expressions and small movements. Slowly, Nian Nian even showed a relieved smile.

For a long time, Nian Nian has always regarded singing as the most important thing in her life. It was the opportunity she had been waiting for for 18 years!

But in the past three years, she has sung countless performances. She can no longer regard singing as a hobby and pleasure. It is more of a responsibility, a job, and to be worthy of the tickets bought by the audience. The more hated she is by others, The more she felt tired, the more tired she felt.

When she knew that her voice was going to go through a recovery period, she was very sad, even desperate, but after that, she felt relaxed and comfortable for a long time. Perhaps, she should also give herself a holiday, give her voice, It's time for a holiday...

Looking at Nian Nian's thinning back, Zhang Yunlei hugged her gently from behind, and asked in his most gentle voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Nian Nian smiled slightly, from the reflection of the window, one could clearly see Zhang Yunlei's haggard face, which was more attractive than the dim night of Beijing...

"Peking opera career is like walking on thin ice, and it is like a passing cloud. This is Master's evaluation of Peking opera career in his later years. I didn't expect me to realize it so soon. After 18 years of hard training, the applause, flowers and glory received in the past three years, now It seems that it really went down one step at a time, and finally dissipated like a passing cloud, although it is vivid in the eyes, it can only stay in the mind."

"Don't think so much, and don't think too much, the most important thing for you now is to keep your throat well."

Nian Nian asked softly, "Are you tired?"

"I'm okay."

"You've been haggard a lot, is it because of me?"

"Hai, you don't have to worry about me. Who am I? You can't beat me! The theater has just issued a statement. Everyone is waiting for the day when you come back. My sister and brother-in-law are still trying to come to see you. Don't worry. It's all your backing!"

"Sister and brother-in-law are coming to see me?"

"That's right, didn't I hear that something happened to you, especially my sister, I'm very worried about you."

"It's not appropriate, we have to visit them when we meet!"

"Okay, I'll go and tell them, someday, let's go together."

"Okay, Zhang Yunlei, I want to smoke."

"The doctor won't let you smoke, drink alcohol, or eat spicy food. You have to keep your throat well."

"Just this time, nothing will happen..."

"No, do you still want to sing again?"

"I want to sing, but I feel uncomfortable..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunlei hugged the girl in front of him even tighter: "I know...I know you are at a loss...I also know you are confused and desperate, I know..."

"Give me one, otherwise, I really can't hold it anymore..."

The girl's pleading voice made Zhang Yunlei's heart ache, Zhang Yunlei sighed softly, took out a box of Xuanhemen from his pocket, took out one, and handed it to Niannian, who put it in his mouth, Zhang Yunlei lit the fire for her again, and said while lighting it up, "Just this time!"

Zhang Yunlei looked at Niannian's proficient smoking posture, skillfully swallowing clouds, and gently lowered his eyes: "When did you learn to smoke?"

Niannian looked at the cigarette in his hand, smiled and sighed: "I was 17 or 16, I forgot, it was a rebellious period."

"I was also in the rebellious period. At that time, I was working everywhere. I was forced by life and the pressure was too great. I could only use this kind of harmful and vulgar way to relieve pressure."

"Smoking is vulgar or not, it's just a personal choice! Some men obviously smoke, but they hate their girlfriends smoking. Standing on the high ground of morality and accusing others, it is shameless and disgusting. Fortunately, you are not like this. Kind of people."

"I didn't expect you to say such a thing."

"It's not a good girl who was harmed like this. If I were a good girl again, wouldn't everyone be able to bully me?"

Nian Nian put out the cigarette...

Zhang Yunlei jokingly said: "Is it on the top? Another one if it's not on the top?"

Niannian smiled slightly, and refused: "No, just one if we agree. Besides, if I really want it again, can you really give it?"

"How does it feel to be in a daze?"

"Shu Tan, nothing seems to be a problem! Zhang Yunlei, you are my husband, you make a decision for me. If the recovery period is very long, and if I can't sing anymore, what should I do? manage?"

"I raise you!"

Three words, let Niannian feel at ease immediately, let's talk about what happens in the future, at least it can explain one thing now, she, Chen Xi, did not marry the wrong person!

Zhang Yunlei said in relief: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side, so don't be afraid of anything!"

Niannian smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

That night, the two held hands, their hearts were connected, and they spent a night of mutual possession. That night was beautiful, peaceful, and peaceful...

On this day, on the banks of the Kunyu River in Beijing, white carved railings enclose the river, which is both safe and beautiful. The banks are lined with green willows, and above the clear and calm river, a few small boats float by from time to time.

Nian Nian was dressed in a quiet white knee-length dress, standing by the river, with the breeze gently blowing her orchid-scented hair, looking at the Kunyu River in front of her, which is said to be the place where Da Lian and her sixth brother died in love, It's really beautiful...

Wang Mengting looked at the normally glamorous Chen Niannian from a distance, but now she looked like an ordinary person, no, she was not an ordinary person, how could Chen Niannian be an ordinary person?She is the most beautiful star in the opera world, but the sky is not merciful, causing this superstar to fall temporarily and become dim.

Wang Mengting walked to her side lightly, Niannian glanced at the visitor from the corner of her eye, then looked at the scenery directly in front, and said softly: "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Wang Mengting tilted her head slightly and asked, "Why should I laugh at you?"

"Laugh at me for always treating people with sincerity, but it ended up like this in the end."

"I told you a long time ago that in the Jianghu, people's hearts are treacherous. This road is extremely difficult."

Niannian laughed at herself: "I remember, this is the first time we met, what you said to me, at that time, I didn't know you well!"

"Actually, you are quite easy to get in touch with! At first glance, I think you are cold and arrogant, repelling people thousands of miles away, but in fact, you are quite gentle!"

"That's right! It's because of my gentle nature that I gave others the chance to harm me."

"How does it feel to be betrayed by someone you trust the most?"

"Have I become the laughing stock of your after-dinner chat?"

"To be honest, upon hearing this news, I believe that every Peking opera actor in Liyuan who has not yet become a role will be more or less happy in his heart. If you can't sing, many newcomers will have hope again, but I will not be happy. real."

"why?"

"Because you have always been the person I admire the most."

Nian Nian smiled and said nothing.

Wang Mengting sighed with a smile, put her hands on the carved railing, and said: "This scenery is so beautiful! I only heard it in the song "Exploring the Clear Water River" before, but today is the first time I have seen it. "

Niannian also raised the corner of her mouth and said: "Don't say it's you, Zhang Yunlei has never been here before, and it's my first time here. Oh, it's ridiculous to say, I never thought that until now, the friends who accompany me, It's actually you..."

"Accidental?"

"Accident, not accident. In fact, I deeply know that my background is envied and my voice is resented. I have always been very careful, very careful. But I still overestimated myself and underestimated the world.

In fact, in the final analysis, I still blame myself. It is because I met people unkindly, because I made friends carelessly, and because I trusted others too easily. Up to this day, it is all myself, and it is my own fault! "

"Chen Niannian, it's not that you can't sing, you don't want to sing anymore, right?"

"My throat is useless..."

"Don't deceive yourself, your voice is not broken, it's just that you can't go back to the past temporarily."

"When I open my voice now, I can't even stand the ugly voice, so how can I make the audience accept it?"

"Is there no solution at all?"

"The doctor said, it takes time. It may take a lifetime, or it may be fine in a second, but no matter what, how I came here is how I go now!"

Wang Mengting smiled slightly, and said: "Chen Niannian, do you know what I admire most about you? It's this free and easy energy! The corner is just the corner, and even the back view of you leaving is magnificent! This is something no one can compare to. Fuck you, I've been studying for so long, but I still haven't learned it..."

"Why do you want to learn? In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"

"Everyone says that Lady Pipa is the legend and hope of the Beijing opera world, and even the whole opera world. We all envy you, admire you, and even imitate you inadvertently. Unexpectedly, Chen Niannian became a legend, but also It's not easy."

"But now, I'm just an ordinary person... It's been many years, it seems to be many years, from the beginning of learning art to the present, it seems that it has been a long, long time, I have sung thousands of plays, so tired tired……"

"It's really a trick of fate..."

"God is fair! He gave you success and fame, and he will make you suffer! Just like me and Zhang Yunlei...

He gave me a miserable family, and gave me a master who loves me...

He gave me a good voice that everyone envied, and then took it away at the peak of my career. I don't know when to give it back to me. Perhaps, he will never give it back to me...

He made Zhang Yunlei a young man, but made it difficult for him to lose his position.

He let him fall from a high place, through life and death, but let him come back to the stage, reborn from the cocoon, and became popular.

You said, is he very angry? "

"I have never experienced the feeling of being betrayed by my best friend, but you and Zhang Yunlei have both experienced it. You really are a match made in heaven!"

"I just thought you were blessing us! In fact, sometimes I often think again, if she does this, she might as well just kill me!"

"Don't think so, life is still worth cherishing and looking forward to."

"Cutting off my future, making my singing career in this life bleak, it's no different from killing me! What I'm most afraid of now is that my voice will not improve in the future. to the end..."

"No! Don't think about it!"

"Since it's a play, it's still going to have a curtain call!"

"Curtain call? As I said, you are a legend. Since you are a legend, how can you call a curtain call so easily?"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

For 26-year-old Chen Niannian, her Peking Opera career is too long, 21 years!But her stage career was so short it was regrettable!

What Wang Mengting said was right, since he has become a legend, how could he call the curtain down so easily?There is no dead end in this world, you are the one who pushes yourself to a dead end...

Entrance of Public Security Bureau of Beijing Anti-drug Brigade

Zhang Yunlei held the steering wheel, and Niannian sat on the co-pilot, looking inside with hesitation in his eyes.

Zhang Yunlei: "Go in, there must be a result sooner or later, otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well every night."

Nian Nian: "Then you wait for me here."

Zhang Yunlei: "Yes."

Nian Nian: "It may take a long time, why don't you come in with me?"

Zhang Yunlei: "Let's forget it, there are some things you want to talk to them alone!"

Nian Nian: "Alright then."

Zhang Yunlei watched Niannian walk into the Public Security Bureau building, and inadvertently sighed softly.

Ren Jianfei: "Coming?"

Nian Nian nodded slightly.

Yan Lan: "Li Zhen and Zhu Yu are arranged in two rooms respectively, which one do you want to see first?"

Nian Nian: "Li Zhen, Zhu Yu... I'm not ready to meet her..."

Ren Jianfei: "Okay, Ms. Chen, please come with us!"

Several police officers brought Nian Nian to the outside of an interrogation room. Through the glass, Nian Nian could clearly see Li Zhenan sitting quietly on a chair with his hands fixed.

Shen Qingxin: "She's inside, and there are monitoring equipment inside. After you go in, we can hear all your conversations."

Nian Nian: "Can she not see outside?"

Huang Wei: "I can't see it, this glass is made of special materials, you can rest assured."

An Huanan: "We're just outside. If something unexpected happens, we'll go in as soon as possible."

Niannian nodded slightly, turned the doorknob, and went in.

Li Zhen lowered her head, but she smelled a familiar fragrance. It was the scent of Lancome perfume that Nian Nian used all the year round. It was a scent of jasmine. Every time she smelled it, she felt very at ease...

"Are you here?"

Niannian sat across from Li Chen and said, "You guessed that I would come?"

Li Zhen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "I've hurt you like this, it's strange that you don't come to me."

Nian Nian nodded clearly, and said with a smile, "Isn't it tiring to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger for so many years?"

"Fortunately, I'm used to it. In fact, over the years, I've acted in front of you more than once that I don't understand anything, I'm stupid, I'm confused..."

"You want me to quit you?"

Li Zhen smiled wryly and said: "Yes, so I can confess to Dolores (Dolores), and leave you in a fair and honest manner, but you didn't, you are too kind, kind like a fool."

"Dolores, are you talking about Zhu Yu? Her English name? Or, her drug dealer's code name? Oh, but these are not the most important. I want to know why she ordered you to harm me?"

"Chen Niannian, your voice is already like this, does it matter whether you know it or not?"

"Of course it's important! If I gave you a knife and turned away without mercy, wouldn't you want to know why I did this? Comparing my heart to my heart, I have the right to know why I became like this?"

Li Zhen smiled wryly, looked at the black glass on the side, and said: "The reason why she hurt you is better for her to tell you herself. The reason why I hurt you is a long story...

Those anti-narcotics police are all outside, right?I know what you want to know from me. In fact, I don’t care if the sentence is reduced or not. I just hope that after I say it, you can save my mother. "

"Your mother? It's been three years, and you've never told me what's going on in your family!"

"Would you like to hear it?"

"I'll listen to what you say."

Li Zhen sighed for a long time: "I said my hometown is in Shandong, it's true! I said my family is poor, it's true!

My dad died in a car accident when I was one year old, leaving me and my mother, orphans and widows.Originally, I thought, for the rest of my life, I would just live in a small village!Doing farm work every day, marrying a villager, and serving a good mother, I am content!

But the sky didn’t go my way, my mother was sick and had a tumor in her stomach, I had to earn money, a lot of money, to continue her life, so I chose to come to Beidiao, because only in Beijing can there be so many Chance!But when I came to Beijing, I realized that earning money is not so easy!

I have worked as a waiter, swept the streets, picked up trash, accompanied drinks, slept in subway stations, laid on park chairs, any dirty work, as long as I was paid, I would do it. Originally, when I was almost desperate, I met Zhu Yu in the bar. She was accompanying a big client, holding a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other.Seeing that I was young, she asked me if I would like to hang out with her and have a chance to make a lot of money?I said, do it!She dragged me into the group, and after I got in, I realized that they were drug dealers, but when I wanted to leave, I hesitated, because we would get huge dividends for every successful order!Gradually, I began to get used to this sneaky day.

Three years ago, Dolores told me, let me stop working in drug trafficking. She arranged for people to come to you, follow her instructions, and find opportunities to harm you. She promised me, give me white medicine, and send my mother abroad. , which has the best medical facilities! "

"Baiyao, what is that?"

"Our organization calls the life-saving medicine Baiyao, but Nico expressly forbids it. People under him are not allowed to buy or sell Baiyao without his permission. My mother is in danger. I really can't do anything about it. Dolores has the guts It’s big, and it’s far away in China, and I’m also Chinese, so I can only do things for her!”

At this time, Shen Qingxin pushed the door in with a notepad and a pen, sat next to Niannian, and said to Niannian: "I'm sorry, it's related to the clues of our next action, I have to come in and give Li Zhen a simple question." ask."

Niannian smiled softly, and said softly: "I understand, you can start!"

Shen Qingxin: "Who is Brother Ni? Your boss?"

Li Zhen: "There should be a boss, but most people in the organization still obey him."

Shen Qingxin: "Then why didn't you report your mother's condition to your brother Ni?"

Li Zhen: "Brother Ni is so busy, and there are many people under him who are fawning on him, so why would he care about my little bastard!"

Shen Qingxin: "What is your contact information with the organization?"

Li Zhen: "We have an intermediary in Yunnan, and that person is in charge of our emergency communication with Neko."

Shen Qingxin: "What's your last name? What's your name? What does it look like?"

Li Zhen: "Well, I don't know, it's because Dolores has been in touch. I only know that everyone calls him Xiaoma."

Shen Qingxin: "This range is too broad, think about it again, does he have any facial features?"

Li Zhen: "Facial features... just an ordinary person with a long face..."

Ren Jianfei announced with a pager outside: "Qingxin, take Li Zhen to do face synthesis."

Shen Qingxin: "Yes! Ms. Chen, I'm sorry, we need to take Li Zhen to take a face composite photo first."

"Catching drug dealers is a serious matter, you go first!"

"Okay, soon!"

Nian Nian got up, ready to leave.

Li Zhen: "Teacher Chen, don't hate me! You can only blame God, let me know Zhu Yu first, and then you!"

Niannian looked at Li Zhen and smiled slightly, that smile was as bright and gentle as when Li Zhen first saw her, just like a spring breeze.

Chen Niannian: "I still want to thank you for being soft-hearted at the last moment. You notified the police and sent me to the hospital."

"In the future, be a bad person, at least, you won't suffer!"

"Right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, you are no longer qualified to discuss these things with me!" Nian Nian opened the door of the interrogation room.

"Teacher Chen!"

Nian Nian stopped.

"Sorry……"

This time, Niannian didn't look back, but responded with a smile: "When you and I arrive in the underworld, then you can apologize to me, I should be able to forgive you..." After finishing speaking, he left.
