At dusk, the roses planted near the school had already lost all their leaves, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a milky white veil.
In the evening, Yiran deliberately took Gu Tai to a western restaurant with American beef burgers for dinner. By the way, he cared about the children's homework and emotions. Compared with having dinner at home with Gu Tingyong and the others, Gu Tai was more casual when eating with her. Some.
"Many students in class today came to ask me if you married my uncle."
"Well, there are also children who came to ask me." Yiran was a little worried, and asked him directly after thinking about it, "Is there any classmate who is dissatisfied with you?"
The kid took a bite of beef, took another sip of iced tea, and said slowly, "How is it possible, I'm so good, who can be dissatisfied with me?"
The corner of Yiran's mouth twitched slightly, yes, even if someone didn't like him, she should be more worried about him.
Gu Tai blinked his good-looking eyes, and asked again: "Then you two will officially disclose your relationship? When are you going to hold the wedding?"
"You villain, you care so much about me. I want to ask you, how is your father doing now?"
Yiran put the french fries dipped in ketchup on the plate for him, and the little boy said calmly: "I've been at home lately, and my mother is still angry with him... But, I know she likes those of my father' Tricks'."
Yiran couldn't help but secretly slandered, she had seen the methods of the men of the Gu family through someone, but if it was Gu Tingchuan's turn to flirt with other women, that would be a different story.
Yiran sent Gu Tai home safely. After returning home, she practiced the content of the open class by herself. When she was tired, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned alone. The big bed in the bedroom was soft and warm. Every time she lay on it, she felt It's like being sucked in.
It was at this time that Gu Tingchuan called. As soon as she connected, she heard the man's deep voice, which was of course very pleasant to hear: "Do you remember that I said that I will go abroad to participate in a film festival this week, and I am preparing for some film festivals?" thing."
She knew before that "The Way Home" was going to be exhibited, but she didn't notice that in the past few days, the man saw that she didn't respond, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
When Yiran heard the invitation at first, her heart was full of joy and ambiguous soreness, and her ears were itchy slightly. Although she really wanted to stay close to each other, she couldn't let go of her work casually, and he mentioned it so suddenly, she felt a little nervous. Caught off guard.
"... My school has classes, so it's inconvenient to ask for leave."
Besides, as Director Gu's wife, she has to get used to this status step by step. At present, just letting the people around her know is enough for her, and she has to log in to Weibo for a long time every day.
If she really wanted to dress up and appear in front of this kind of media, she would probably be blinded by the flashing lights, and even, the degree of freedom in the future would be greatly reduced in this way.
Gu Tingchuan didn't want to force her either. If it was the past, maybe he would have been tougher, at least let her come and stay by his side, but recently his emotions have also fluctuated. Judging from the feedback from all parties, it is completely unknown whether "Return" will win the award , he also had this kind of "uneasiness" for the first time, and he didn't want to affect her emotions.
"Well, if you're bored at home these few days, go back and spend time with your parents."
Yiran didn't know that Gu Tingchuan's mood had changed. She was very close to the microphone, and said softly, "I know, you don't need to worry about it... Gu Tingchuan, can you tell me about your work arrangements in the future?"
Gu Tingchuan was working overtime in his office, and he could see a bright moon from the window of a high-rise building. His clear brows were covered by this bright halo, and his eyes were like diamonds studded with stars.
"Well, I forgot to mention this time. Oh... Come on your public class, don't be nervous, you have always had excellent expressiveness and memory."
Yiran: "..."
His voice is indescribably sexy.
Gu Dao is doing everything he can to remember such a small thing... Hey, it's really useless, how can you be so happy after being cheered up by your husband.
She sniffed and replied, "I won't let you down."
With the time of marriage getting longer, Yiran's understanding of Gu Tingchuan is also increasing day by day.
For example, she knew that he wrote his first screenplay at the age of fourteen, studied literature, history, and drama at an American university, received many scholarships, and directed his first film when he was in his twenties. The movie made him famous overnight.
Gu Tingchuan has the trendy thinking of learning western culture, and also has the inheritance of oriental heritage. For his movies, she can't give an evaluation like a professional, but she still has confidence in the future of "Return".
Yiran turned over and faced down, and smelled Gu Tingchuan's breath from the bed sheet. He knew it was just a phantom left behind, but he couldn't resist it.
A scent that would give her a good night's sleep.
…
Yiran has successfully completed the school's open class, and the feedback it has received from students and teachers is not bad. In a blink of an eye, New Year's Day will soon be ushered in.
Gu Tingchuan had been busy at the company for a day, and then flew overseas directly with his team. They were only separated for three days, but they felt that time passed very slowly.
The hustle and bustle of the day faded away. There was a six-hour time difference between S city and where Director Gu was. The awards show would be at 1:00 a.m. Beijing time. Yiran was destined to stay up late, and she would go back to her natal home at night. , hid in the room and closed the door, and immediately began to wait for the press release and the red carpet photos of the stars to be published on the Internet as soon as the time came.
After twelve o'clock, I unexpectedly received a call from Gu Tingchuan.
In the corner of the hotel where the team stayed, he leaned against a corner, put one hand in his pocket, and held the phone in the other, deliberately avoiding the noisy media and crowds outside. At night in a foreign country, some thoughts always come suddenly out of reach.
Even though Director Gu often went out to socialize, but when he was in China, he could see her as long as he went home, and the feeling was completely different from now.
Yiran was also full of thoughts, she suddenly wanted to do a lot of things to him, when they were together before, due to various reasons such as reserved, shy and unfamiliar, she rarely took the initiative to be intimate with him, but now she misses him more and more Those tight, hot hugs and kisses.
But she didn't know how to say this, and in the end, she held back her little thoughts and said, "Gu Tingchuan, why don't you take a selfie for me?"
His eyes darkened slightly, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he replied directly: "No."
Yiran curled her lips, and joked unwillingly, "Why, I'm more worried about the fact that there are so many beauties around you. Otherwise, let's take a video when you're free?"
Gu Tingchuan glanced at the bright moonlight over the hotel pool, his eyes flickered slightly: "... Which kind of video?"
Yiran paused when she heard this, her heart pounded like a roller coaster for a few seconds.
If she was blushing and shy when she first got married, now she has some ability to fight back, so she said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, which one do you want? Otherwise, you can book a time and I will prepare it." ?”
Gu Tingchuan shook his fingers vigorously, and was about to answer when someone called him over there. Of course, Yiran knew that he was very busy. There were dinners, luncheons, and award ceremonies these days... Can he spare time for her? Calling is already rare.
She haunted her voice and said, "Go and do your work, and we'll talk about it when you get back."
Gu Tingchuan said "um" and paused silently, a cluster of light in the distant starry sky was reflected in his eyes, he wanted to say something sweet, but he still didn't know how to turn the unfamiliar throbbing and longing into words. The most touching words of human beings, in the end, he still said: "Don't stay up late, go to bed early."
Just a simple sentence, but extremely gentle.
Like Yiran, there are entertainment reporters from major media who have not slept yet. She even followed a few tags on Weibo, and saw the photos of Gu Tingchuan walking the red carpet with starry eyes.
He was wearing an expensive and low-key formal suit with fine patterns on the black placket and neckline. He had a dignified and handsome demeanor. His face was as indifferent as ever, and his complexion was fair and tender. Only the corners of his lips were slightly raised, which was not even a smile.
She was a little nervous, but also a little excited. As the awards dinner began, the awards of the film festival were also won by the strong one by one.
In the early morning night, on the other side of the earth, there is a celebration full of voices, but on this side, it is also a sleepless night of silent boiling.
Just when Director Gu's fans were waiting for him to once again add glory to domestic films, "Returning" received an unprecedented cold reception, without any awards, and returned in a shambles.
Except for the fact that Gu Tingchuan's qualifications were not enough when he first debuted, and the awards he has received over the years have been soft. This is a long-lost defeat for him, and the situation is completely different from before.
If you are just a newcomer, maybe no one will pay attention at all, but when your reputation is loud enough, this is a blow to the head, and it is also a headline that reporters will inevitably criticize.
Yiran previewed all kinds of information, the more he looked at it, the more he felt drowsy, and his heart was greatly shaken.
A well-known film critic also participated in this film festival. After watching the film, he wrote: From the perspective of martial arts films, "Return" is indeed full of courage and a new approach, but due to too much emphasis on Gu Tingchuan's Personal style, separated from the audience, seems too lonely.
Gu Tingchuan, he is a master who constantly surprises and expects, however, he failed when placing countless people's expectations.
Yiran's complexion changed again and again, only to feel that those square characters kept hitting her eardrums one after another, making a buzzing sound.
Shouldn't she stay here? Whether it's glory or failure, she should stay by his side and share the burden with him.
... This is a couple.
Yiran clenched her fingers tightly and covered her chest in discomfort.
In the quiet night, she sat in front of the computer and waited for a long time. She couldn't help taking out her mobile phone, thinking that Gu Tingchuan should be exhausted from all kinds of interviews at this time, but she still wanted to call him, to hear his voice, to comfort her. he.
The phone was dialed out, but it rang for a long time, but no one answered. Yiran bit her lower lip. For the first time, she didn't know what she could do and what she should do. She was at a loss.
She couldn't sleep, she hung her head and hugged her knees, and tightly pinched the fuselage with one hand, feeling the coldness of her fingers.
