Song Wenye drove over, the three of them arrived at the parking lot, opened the door, and got into the car one after another. Xia Hong sat in the car, he looked around excitedly, and said with emotion: "I'm really crazy today, after drinking, President Song will be the driver!"
Song Wenye: "What about your car?"
Xia Hong: "Looking for a chauffeur."
Chu Xiaxing didn't know the true meaning of Song Wenye's visit, so she casually said, "We just need to drink some wine and take a taxi or drive instead. Why should Mr. Song go?"
Chu Xiaxing felt that Xia Hong was overthinking things, and Song Wenye didn't have time to watch, it was outrageous to run over and drive at night.
Xia Hong listened to her casual tone, he immediately brought up the old story, and took the lead in reporting: "Director Chu can drink so much today, and I am scared! , and vomited out!"
Xia Hong couldn't stop drinking Chu Xiaxing at the dinner table, so he was so frightened that he called Song Wenye, lest he cause trouble. He looks like a cynical little playboy, but he is actually very timid. If he intends to do bad things, he is also a thief.
Song Wenye frowned slightly. He glanced at the rearview mirror and asked with concern, "You drink a lot?"
He opened the car window a little, and the cool breeze came in, like a veil on his face.
Xia Hong looked at Chu Xiaxing seriously: "It doesn't look like he's drunk."
Chu Xiaxing didn't take their fuss seriously, she said casually, "Drunk is a romantic art, if it's in a movie story, the plot has to advance the plot and play a role in the end. How could I get drunk casually? Isn't the scene completely broken?"
Chu Xiaxing is a measured person. She will never get drunk in front of outsiders. She really wants to get a place of peace of mind when she is drunk, otherwise she will not be able to let go of her vigilance.
Song Wenye asked curiously, "Why do you say that getting drunk is a romantic art?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Simply drinking can only be called alcoholism. Getting drunk is never intoxicating, so it is a romantic art."
"Wine" has a very rich connotation in art, and "drunk" is given other meanings, especially in literary works such as poetry.
Song Wenye raised his eyebrows and said, "People don't get drunk because of alcohol, but alcohol is just an image?"
Chu Xiaxing nodded: "You can say that."
Xia Hong's eyes were dazed when he heard it. He seemed like an underachiever who got into the top class, and said blankly: "...The conversation between the two of you makes me look like a second fool."
Xia Hong: Now you can't ride a car without a little culture!
Xia Hong arrived at the residence soon. He happily waved goodbye to the two people in the car, and reminded: "Director Chu, then we will talk about samples at the company tomorrow!"
Chu Xiaxing had no objection, she waved at Xia Hong and watched him disappear into the night.
Inside the car, Song Wenye adjusted the mobile phone navigation and asked patiently, "Where do you live now? I'll take you back."
Xia Hong lived close to the restaurant, but Chu Xiaxing's address was confusing. She used to return to the Cultural and Creative Park, but now that the crew work has ended, she doesn't know where she will end up.
Chu Xiaxing replied, "Just put me at Chengxia subway station."
Song Wenye was stunned for a moment. He looked back at her thoughtfully and asked in doubt, "Do you live near Chengxia? There are not many communities there."
Near Chengxia Metro Station is a prosperous business district. There is no residential area at all. It is brightly lit and quite lively at night. Many young people wander there all night.
Chu Xiaxing said frankly, "I want to just stroll around."
Chu Xiaxing accidentally bumped into Wang Zhi today, and suddenly recalled a lot of past events, feeling a little upset for no reason. She didn't plan to go home to sleep right now, and she didn't want to disturb others, so she decided to relax by herself. Chu Qiuyi and Han Chuning should be resting soon, it would be too much to call them again, they all have their own lives.
Song Wenye's eyes were like black gems with excellent luster. He pondered for a few seconds and turned the steering wheel: "Okay."
In the Chengxia business district, the trees on both sides of the pedestrian street are covered with colorful neon lights, and young people are laughing and laughing in groups of three and two, laughing wildly at the door of the bustling shops, which is quite the style of the city that never sleeps.
Chu Xiaxing took two steps on the block, she sighed, turned her head helplessly, frowned, "Mr. Song, what are you doing with me?"
Song Wenye didn't drive away, but quietly followed behind her. He looked around at the bright streetlights, and said calmly, "You've just had a drink, and it's not really safe for a girl to go shopping at night."
Chu Xiaxing showed impatience: "But I just want to relax by myself..."
Song Wenye blinked, he thought for a moment, then took two steps back lightly, no longer walking in the same row with Chu Xiaxing, but staggered the distance between them. He raised his left hand in a gentlemanly gesture, implying that Chu Xiaxing was walking forward alone, while he silently followed behind, as if performing a pantomime.
He can't wait to have "this is also considered to be alone to relax" written all over his face.
Chu Xiaxing: "..."
Seeing Song Wenye being persistent and calm, Chu Xiaxing was both angry and funny as if she had smashed cotton with a fist.
She can deal with wicked people with heavy punches, but it is very difficult to deal with good people, and she simply ignores him.
Song Wenye obediently and honestly made the background board and followed the game. He followed silently throughout the whole process, without saying anything to disturb others.
Chu Xiaxing went straight to the cinema. She bought a night movie ticket at random and went in to watch it when she saw the time. Song Wenye didn't buy a ticket to join her, but bought a row later. He was really keeping his feet and had no sense of existence at all.
This is a foreign popcorn special effect film, the screen is full of dazzling explosions, and the plot is messed up. Chu Xiaxing watched blankly. The front row was either a young couple whispering, or a bored audience dozing off. Obviously, no one was attracted to the film's plot.
Song Wenye sat behind Chu Xiaxing, he could only see her back and profile, the dazzling and exaggerated explosion light reflected on her face, but her eyes were clear and calm.
Chu Xiaxing chose a row of unoccupied seats, and she distanced herself from the other audience members, she didn't know whether she was watching the movie or watching the audience, like a spectator in the world.
She seems to always distance herself from others when watching movies. The same is true when she watched "Man Ran" last time. She was also sitting in the auditorium, but she would not integrate with others, but rather withdraw.
Song Wenye thought about this, and his heart moved slightly.
She is a spectator of the world, and he is now a spectator of the world's spectator.
After the movie ended, Chu Xiaxing found that Song Wenye was still following him not far or near. She even wanted to walk him wickedly, hesitating whether to run around the Chengxia business district to see if he would get tired in the end. lie. However, no matter how she wandered around the block, Song Wenye guarded without complaining, and really wouldn't open her mouth to be annoying.
In the open-air street, Chu Xiaxing bought two bottles of mineral water from the convenience store and sat on the bench opposite the convenience store after going out. She had lost her temper against Song Wenye's stubbornness, so she handed one of the bottles of water to him, and said lazily, "Okay, are you tired? Come and sit."
The two sat on an open-air bench drinking water, directly opposite a bright and busy convenience store, with people coming in and out constantly.
Chu Xiaxing stared at the customers in the convenience store in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking about, even a little like being in a daze.
Song Wenye looked at her.
Chu Xiaxing noticed Song Wenye's inquiring gaze, she turned her head slowly, raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Don't pretend to be dumb, just say something."
Song Wenye looked at the convenience store, he turned around again, and asked humbly, "What are you looking at?"
"The people in the convenience store." Chu Xiaxing raised her chin towards the door of the convenience store, she motioned Song Wenye to look at the customers who just came out, "The two little girls are college classmates, they should go to ktv now to meet up with their companions, so Bought a lot of water and snacks…”
"The person eating by the window has just finished overtime. Even if tomorrow is the weekend, he probably still has to work, otherwise his expression will not be so blank."
"The boy in the corner who is constantly looking at his mobile phone is waiting for someone. He has no place to stay for the time being, he doesn't buy anything, he is just resting."
Chu Xiaxing's gaze swept across the customers in the store one after another. She reasoned about their stories slowly, which was what she often did when she was distracted. She silently observes the people around her, figuring out their joys, sorrows, joys and life trivialities based on their appearance and demeanor, but no matter how accurate her judgment is, she still has nothing to do with these people.
She sat in the most prosperous business district and had been in the busiest crew, but she was still rational and sober, and she did not integrate into the group at all.
Song Wenye's dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you often like now, running out alone to observe?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes."
Song Wenye pointed out: "Director Chu is worthy of being a director. He can see through other people's lives at will, but he will always keep a distance from them and will not reveal his heart to anyone."
Song Wenye felt that there was an incentive for Chu Xiaxing to hang out today, but she had always been calm and restrained, as if she was working behind the monitor of the crew. She will carefully observe the emotional ups and downs of each scene, but she is unmoved, and is still a bystander and guide behind the scenes.
She has a burning heart fire, covered by a thick layer of ice, and can only see the light through the frost, but can never touch the temperature of the flame. She has a completely different temperament from her peers, as if she can see through the world without saying anything.
Chu Xiaxing squinted at him and said lightly: "Don't you think it's stupid to open up your mind? Even if you try to talk to others, who will understand you 100%, at most you can agree with understanding, but you won't be able to. It means the other party understands you."
"Whether it's a good friend or a relative who is connected by blood, they can't fully understand you, so many things are meaningless and even cause worry." Chu Xiaxing has spent her whole life alone, she has long seen through this. At one point, it will get rid of the stage of seeking understanding and gradually get used to the state of being alone and watching.
She does have many friends and loved ones, but she is alone in life. They can share a lot of time, but after all, they will also have their own stories, not necessarily completely separated, but not always compatible.
Wang Zhi used to be like-minded with her, and Xu Xiancheng also competed with her for a long time, but there will always be changes.
It's like Chu Qiuyi will grow up and start a family, and Han Chuning will also move away as an adult, each with his own life journey.
The only thing that hasn't changed is her, and the only thing that hasn't changed is change.
Song Wenye looked at the neon lights on the side of the road, and then looked up at the faint stars in the night sky. He suddenly recalled the night in Yanchuan City, showing a nostalgic look: "But someone told me that even if most of my life is It’s a lonely run, but as long as you run with full concentration and hope, maybe you will meet someone who understands you and makes you trust at the next corner…”
Chu Xiaxing glanced at him in disbelief. She didn't expect him to use his handsome face to talk about chicken soup, so she couldn't help laughing, "Is this a way to coax children? I might have believed it before, but I won't eat it now."
Song Wenye's eyes flashed slightly: "This is indeed what I heard when I was a child. The person who said this is inexplicably similar to Director Chu."
Chu Xiaxing complained: "You look like a smart person, how can you still take childhood events seriously, I forgot what I was doing when I was a child..."
Song Wenye asked back, "But I don't think it's wrong. You've never been drunk, have you?"
Chu Xiaxing looked surprised: "...What do you mean? Your topic jumps so fast?"
Song Wenye said logically: "You said that 'wine' is not ordinary wine, human beings are subject to two basic impulses, one is the spirit of the sun, which emphasizes seeking truth from facts, rationality and order, and the other is the spirit of the god of wine, which affects individuals. The expression of inner emotions…”
"That's why I said that Director Chu has never been drunk. You have been restraining your emotions and looking at external things rationally, and you are not in a state of fanaticism, excess or instability. This is really incredible, especially if you are still engaged in art. "Song Wenye didn't understand the formation of Chu Xiaxing's character. It is reasonable to say that young people would not be like this. She is indeed confusing.
The spirit of Dionysus has a profound influence on the creation of literary artists, but she is usually sophisticated in her speech and work, but she is actually quite disciplined and does not act recklessly.
Chu Xiaxing was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, her eyes were cold, and she said unpleasantly: "Mr. Song, I told you before, don't be interested in the existence that you can't control, and don't speculate too much on other people's hearts, this is a a dangerous thing."
What Song Wenye said when she watched "Man Ran" last time made her feel good about her confidant, but what he said now made her a little uncomfortable.
The reason was that she felt he was right, and that was a terrible thing.
She can accept that the audience can read her own movies, but she does not accept that others can read her own heart.
Song Wenye was not repelled by her cold face. His eyes softened and he said lightly, "Director Chu, it's not that people can't understand each other, it's that you are afraid of being read by others, and you are very resistant to feeling out of control."
Seeing that he was calm, Chu Xiaxing laughed unhurriedly: "No, I'm not afraid of being read, I just don't want to be understood by Mr. Song, who is unknown."
Song Wenye's pupils trembled slightly. Facing her full of disgust, he asked blankly and innocently, "Why?"
Chu Xiaxing used to be too lazy to pay attention to him, but now she is a little annoyed and angry, so she naturally responded with a smile, "I feel that I am worthless and not worth the trouble of the Yuansheng Group's executives to speculate, and of course I don't want to be understood by you. Mr. Song was not frank enough from the beginning to the end, he never mentioned the reason why he was close to me, and he asked me why?"
Chu Xiaxing didn't intend to have a relationship with him in the past, so he naturally handled it as a partner, but now that he said something overstepping the distance, she clearly broke through the matter and decided to draw a clear distance.
Song Wenye was stunned for a moment. He showed an unexpected look, as if he was considering his words, but did not answer for a while.
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows: "What? Can't answer it? Then I'll guess based on your personality. There are only a few reasons why you can be so considerate of others. You know me before?"
Song Wenye said honestly, "I don't know."
Chu Xiaxing nodded calmly, and she continued to ask: "Oh, that is to know my relatives and friends?"
Facing her pressing step by step, Song Wenye replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Chu Xiaxing said blankly: "You owed my family before? Have you ever been taken care of by them?"
Chu Xiaxing has read countless biographies of characters, and she can basically infer the history of characters from their personalities. Song Wenye is not someone who posted it for no reason. If he can tolerate Xia Hong, there must be a reason for taking care of her. This person has a strong sense of morality. He is very afraid of defaulting on favors.
Song Wenye didn't expect her to speculate so accurately, so he could only show off: "...Yes, I met my uncle before, and he was taken care of when I was a child."
Song Wenye didn't mention it before because he was afraid that Chu Xiaxing would be burdened, but he didn't expect that she would be so keen that he could push it out himself.
Chu Xiaxing: "What month is your birthday?"
Song Wenye glanced at her for unknown reasons, and replied, "September."
Chu Xiaxing said happily: "Okay, let's take this number, you can put nine million into my account."
Song Wenye looked at her asking for money when she opened her mouth, and his eyes were dazed for a moment: "?" How fast is this topic
Song Wenye whispered, "...Can I ask why?"
Chu Xiaxing frowned directly, and she said unceremoniously: "If you want to fight, just fight, don't talk so much!"
Song Wenye hesitated for a moment, he did not provoke the irritable Director Chu, but stood up slowly, politely and kindly: "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."
Chu Xiaxing was upset when she saw him rubbing and rubbing. She was still sitting on the open-air bench, waiting for him to return.
After a while, Song Wenye returned calmly with the phone in his hand, and said calmly, "We have already sent someone to transfer money, it should take some time."
Chu Xiaxing nodded clearly, she jumped off the bench decisively, lowered her head and patted the corner of her clothes, and said generously: "Okay, Mr. Song, even if our debts are cleared, you don't need to be bound by morality now. Don't have anything to do with me anymore."
Chu Xiaxing leisurely made a gesture of severance, she showed a relaxed expression, and she said with a smile: "We will walk towards the sky in the future, and you will no longer have to feel burdened."
He didn't just want to repay the debt of love, she just asked him to repay it!
Hearing that, Song Wenye's body was slightly stiff, he pursed his lips tightly, and looked at her indifferently, as if surrounded by a layer of opaque clouds, which seemed a little unbelievable.
Chu Xiaxing didn't respond to his demeanor, she still looked like a fool.
A few seconds later, Song Wenye took a deep breath, calmed down his inner emotions, and said calmly, "I really don't need to feel burdened anymore."
Chu Xiaxing jokingly said: "Right, let the leader of Yuansheng follow my ass, I can't see it myself."
Song Wenye listened to her continuing to make up for the knife ruthlessly. He looked straight at Chu Xiaxing and said slowly, "Since I have already repaid the debt, can we get to know each other again?"
"I don't know where I came from now, I should have the qualifications to understand you."
His voice is like a double bass in an orchestra. No matter how much it is suppressed by other instruments, it still has its own steady and powerful timbre, with an unhurried pace.
