The Eye of the Storm

Lying on the bed, Cao Ye felt his chest swell and swell, filled with a lot of emotions.He recalled the first 20 years of his life, although he didn't get much paternal love from Cao Xiuyuan, the love Li You gave him was even more than the part he was missing.

"By the way, Cao Ye," Liang Sizhe said, "I have a guess, it's about your mother's suicide note."

"What?" Cao Ye asked.

"Your mother said in that suicide note that she separated from your father a long time ago and that there was no deception in their marriage. She also said that your father and Zhang Minghan were in a normal relationship and had no obscene behavior... I was thinking, according to your mother's friend She was very disappointed with your father before she left, and there is no reason to make any excuses for Teacher Cao, so it is very likely that she did this..."

"It's the suicide note left for me." Cao Ye continued his words.

"Well, she's afraid that if your dad keeps falling into this kind of malicious public opinion of being attacked, it will hurt you too."

Cao Ye was silent for a long time, then stretched out his hand, groping to hold Liang Sizhe: "Liang Sizhe, when you have time, you can accompany me to see my mother."

"Okay." Liang Sizhe turned his palm over, inserted his fingers between Cao Ye's, and interlocked with his.

Cao Ye thought he was going to tell Li You that he had Liang Sizhe now, so she wouldn't be so worried.

He thought that Li You was so open-minded, and knowing that he had such a good boyfriend, he would be happy for him.

After a while, Cao Ye moved closer to Liang Sizhe: "Brother Sizhe, can I ask you a question?"

"You said."

"I want to know, what are your parents like?"

Hearing this, Liang Sizhe fell silent and didn't speak for a while.

Cao Ye realized that Liang Sizhe might not want to talk about it, so he quickly said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"It's not that I don't want to say it," Liang Sizhe said, "I'm thinking about what to say. You just asked me why I'm unhappy. This is probably the source."

Cao Ye turned to look at Liang Sizhe, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Liang Sizhe sighed in the night, covering his eyes with the back of his hand: "Because every time I think of them, they are constantly arguing, arguing, arguing... My mother is actually very gentle, she teaches violin Even if the child is stupid, she won’t be able to learn it even if she teaches it many times, and she won’t get angry. My dad...is an interior designer, very handsome and elegant. They met in college. From outsiders’ perspective, Deng is so right. But I don't know why, they treat everyone very well, they just look at each other like enemies, and they can quarrel over any trivial matter."

Liang Sizhe's volume was very low, and his speech was slow. While recalling the events of more than ten years ago, he told Cao Ye: "I remember that they were not like this when I was young, but they became more and more noisy. I have been waiting for them to announce their divorce. , but they just don't mention it. Every time I hear them quarreling, I really want to yell at them, stop arguing, you two should separate quickly! But I can't open my mouth, I don't know what will happen to them after divorce, Will one of them fade out of my life and form a new family that has nothing to do with me."

"I'm waiting for them to bring it up with me so I can force myself to accept it, but they keep fighting and they just don't mention the divorce. The last time they fought was on the way to the airport when I asked I went to Sydney to participate in a very important violin competition. The atmosphere was good at first, but on the way they had a quarrel because of the route. The quarrel was very fierce. As soon as the word 'divorce' was said, our car collided with a car coming from the opposite direction. They both died instantly. I only hurt my fingers because my mother leaned over to help me block the impact. "

Many years have passed, and now Liang Sizhe talks about the upheaval in his life when he was young, he just feels that these ten years are like a dream, and that car accident is the beginning of his falling into this dream.

Cao Ye did not expect that before the car accident, Liang Sizhe grew up in such a family environment. When he was a child, he could not see Cao Xiuyuan all the year round. The three of them could only have a meal together when they returned home from long vacations. They were all harmonious, probably at that time Li You deliberately created the illusion that their marriage was harmonious.

Cao Ye couldn't think of how Liang Sizhe spent his youth. It must have been very depressing to face the endless quarrels of his parents for several years.The past that Liang Sizhe talked about was so heavy that Cao Ye didn't know how to comfort him.Cao Ye suddenly thought of Liang Sizhe's "Liang Sheng Zhu Meng", which seemed to be somewhat similar to his parents' marriage trajectory.

Just when he thought of this, Liang Sizhe happened to ask, "Did you think of anything?"

""Liang Sheng Zhu Meng"?" Cao Ye hesitated.

"Well, when I saw the first version of the script, the first thing I thought of was my parents. At first, I didn't even realize that my parents' marriage would have such a great influence on me. Later I figured it out. You were moved but kept silent, largely because I was afraid that once I started, it would lead to this inevitable end."

"I filmed "Liang Sheng's Dream" three years ago, just trying to use my parents' past to tell me that even if I got it, it might not be so good. If we are not together, we don't have to worry about the relationship going bad. However, I can't completely convince myself to quit. Get rid of you, I still want to try with you."

"So Cao Ye, I also worry about gain and loss. I am afraid that we will become like my parents. One day we will keep arguing and we will get bored."

Cao Ye knew early on that "Liang Sheng Zhu Meng" was probably shot by Liang Sizhe because of him, but what he didn't expect was that Liang Sizhe would use such a tragic way to cross himself, tearing apart the bloody past, and using the last thing he wanted to face Convince yourself of your past.

For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort Liang Sizhe, the root of this problem was too deep, and it was far from being able to be effective with just a word of comfort.

"I promise, I won't quarrel with you, I will give you everything." Cao Ye said this, but felt that the promise was too pale. In order to prove that he meant what he said, he held Liang Sizhe's hand and let it go. to his own head, "Don't you like to touch my head? You can touch it casually, and I won't resist in the future."

Liang Sizhe was amused by him, and touched his head twice: "Really?"

"Really," Cao Ye stood up and looked at Liang Sizhe, "I won't get bored with you. Have you forgotten? The first time I saw you at the Blue Banquet, I thought you were pretty."

"Oh... remember, you still want me to cook meat for you."

"Hey, don't misinterpret history... In short, I still look good at you now. Liang Sizhe, you didn't act in my movie that time, I wanted to break up with you, but when I saw you, I couldn't hold back and told you You reconciled. Therefore, it is only possible that you hate me, but it is impossible for us to hate each other."

Liang Sizhe laughed: "I couldn't get rid of you even after filming "Liang Sheng Zhu Meng", how could I hate you?"

"So Brother Sizhe, don't be so pessimistic. Your parents' stories belong to them, and you are with me now. We will be together for a long time, we will not quarrel, and we will not get bored with each other. We will work together on movies , chat late at night, do it every day, until I am too old to do it anymore, this is our story."

Liang Sizhe thinks that Cao Ye is the same as when he was young, with an optimistic nature, which always allows him to easily come out of the unpleasant past.

Maybe Cao Ye is right, everyone has their own story, there is no need to use other people's endings to make predictions for yourself.

He thought for a while and then said: "Cheng Duan said that you don't like hidden romances, but as long as we are together, there will be cameras on us at any time, just like Berlin this time."

Cao Ye said: "I didn't like to hide from the paparazzi before, but with you, I think having an underground romance is quite exciting."

They chatted for a while, and the sky began to turn white. Cao Ye thought that Liang Sizhe might not have had a good rest when he came back from Berlin, so he restrained his desire to continue chatting, and said, "Go to sleep, let's go watch together when we wake up." my mother."

Liang Sizhe let out a "hmm".

"Good night, Liang Sizhe," Cao Ye hugged Liang Sizhe, and leaned closer to kiss him, "I love you very much."

In the past, Cao Ye always fell asleep very quickly, but this time, he didn't know whether it was due to jet lag or because he hadn't fully calmed down yet, so he couldn't fall asleep.

He thought of the documentary that Liang Sizhe had made for him, which completely solved the knots in his heart these years, but when Liang Sizhe mentioned his own concerns, he didn't know what he could do for Liang Sizhe.

Liang Sizhe made up for his birthday once, and he also wanted to make up for Liang Sizhe, but how should he make up for this birthday?He has a documentary about Yin Si ten years ago, but it is a record about the past after all, and he always feels it is not enough.

Cao Ye closed his eyes, planning in his mind to make up for Liang Sizhe's birthday.

When I woke up the next day, the discussion on the video and recording continued on the Internet.

Before leaving the house, Cao Ye called the florist to make an appointment for a bouquet. Liang Sizhe waited for him leaning against the door frame, and took time to browse Weibo for a while.

He doesn't use Weibo very often, but since the video and recording were exposed, his frequency of checking Weibo has skyrocketed.

Although Cao Ye said that he was not afraid of being exposed, Liang Sizhe still couldn't feel completely at ease. He has encountered several public opinion attacks since he was in the film industry, and he knows how terrible some unprovoked malice can be. He is worried that those malice will be transferred to Cao Ye.

The car drove to the parking lot of the cemetery, and the two got out of the car and walked to Li You's grave.

Cao Ye bent down and wiped Li You's photo on the tombstone: "Mom, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Liang Sizhe."

"Hello, Auntie." Liang Sizhe squatted down and put the bouquet under Li You's photo.

"He is very powerful. He is the youngest winner of the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards in China. A few days ago, he was also shortlisted for the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival. Are you curious about how we changed from friends to lovers, um... This is a very long story, I will tell you slowly later, but don't laugh at me after you have heard it, because I seem to be a little dull in that story..."

Liang Sizhe laughed beside him.

"Don't laugh either." Cao Ye turned his face to look at him.

"Although a little dull," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "but still very brave."

"We have just collaborated on two films, one is the remake of "The Darkest Choice", and the other is "Try Saying One More Sentence" that I told you last time. We will cooperate in many films in the future, and we will Be great together."

Cao Ye told Li You what had happened in the past few months like he did every time he came here. Liang Sizhe stayed with him, occasionally adding a sentence or two, and most of the time he listened to what Cao Ye said.

In the end, Liang Sizhe gave Cao Ye time to be alone with Li You, walked a few steps towards the parking lot, and stood a few meters away waiting for Cao Ye.

"Mom, I haven't lost my expectation of love," Cao Ye thought for a while, and said to Li You, "I feel like I love Liang Sizhe very much, and it will last for a long time."

The wind was a bit strong, and when Cao Ye turned around, the ends of Liang Sizhe's hair and the corners of his windbreaker were shaken by the blow.This reminded Cao Ye of Yinsi Street, the evening when he and Liang Sizhe met for the first time. He quickened his pace, walked towards Liang Sizhe, and walked to the parking lot with him.

And in the afternoon of that day, the news about Liang Sizhe visiting Li You with his friends quickly spread across the screen.
