When Song Wenye came out of the study, Duan Dong behind him had calmed down a lot, and both grandfather and grandson seemed to have calmed down. Mother Duan quickly stood up and looked at her father with concern: "Dad."
Duan Dong stretched out his hand to signal that it was okay, he looked at Chu Xiaxing again, and smiled kindly: "This is the director, right? It's a joke, I wasted a little time, I heard Cheng Yan mention you."
Chu Xiaxing shook his hand politely: "Duan Dong, hello, I'm Chu Xiaxing."
Duan Dong's mood fluctuated quite a lot today, but he also cheered up at this time, and said in a greeting: "Wen Ye should have told you about the film and television city, and he is solely responsible for this project. Don't ask too much, just communicate with you..."
"I also want to understand, we have to retire sooner or later, and the future belongs to you young people." After talking with Song Wenye, Duan Dong found that his grandson was far stronger than he thought, so naturally he didn't have any more concerns. Let the other person do it. He originally wanted to stare at Yanchuan, but now it seemed that Song Wenye was much more awake than himself.
Chu Xia Xing's heart was clear, Duan Dong really regarded Song Wenye as the new leader at this moment, which meant that he would gradually give way.
"It's rare for Director Chu to come to the house, so let's not talk about work today, let's have a good meal together, and thank the director for taking care of Cheng Yan!" Duan's mother saw that her father was tired, and she adjusted the atmosphere in a timely manner, using the auspiciousness of the family. things to talk about.
Duan Dong: "It's good, then I'll go back to the house to rest for a while. Wen Ye accompanies the director for a walk. The flowers in the yard are blooming."
Mother Duan introduced with a smile: "My dad did it all by himself when he was free."
Chu Xiaxing nodded politely, and Duan Dong went back to the house to rest first, while Duan's mother went to the kitchen to order the meals.
There were only two people left in the living room. Chu Xiaxing looked at Song Wenye, who was silent, and said bluntly, "Actually, you don't need to accompany me. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go back to the room to rest for a while."
Although Song Wenye had no flaws in front of Duan Dong, Chu Xiaxing was very aware of his state of mind. The other party was holding on tightly, suppressing the waves in his heart.
Song Wenye: "It can't be uncomfortable yet."
Chu Xiaxing smiled and said, "Children can feel uncomfortable at any time."
Song Wenye looked at her in surprise and reminded, "I've been an adult for a long time."
Chu Xiaxing: "It doesn't matter how old you are. You can choose to be an adult, or you can choose to be a child. It's not a shame to feel like a child once in a while."
Although Song Wenye switched to President Song when he returned to the mansion, it did not mean that Xiao Xiao Duan disappeared completely. He might be out of breath in a dark corner, but he just couldn't appear at this moment.
Song Wenye was stunned for a moment. He was calm and composed in front of Duan Dong, more like a state of numb stress. At this time, he was slightly touched by her words and eased a little. He lowered his eyes and said, "Then suffer for two minutes."
Chu Xiaxing looked at his restrained and quiet attitude, and really found a little bit of feeling, she couldn't laugh or cry: "That's it?"
Two minutes later, Song Wenye got up accurately. He seemed to have managed his emotions and said, "Let me show Director Chu around."
Chu Xiaxing: "...fast enough."
At this time, she admired Song Wenye a little, the other party was indeed rational enough, and it would be difficult for an ordinary person to recover immediately.
The yard of the mansion is lush and green, Duan Dong not only grows flowers, but also has nothing to do to cultivate vegetable seedlings. The other party is indeed a traditional old man. Even if he is in a high position, he still can't change his hobby of farming, showing the diligence and bravery in the bones of the Chinese nation.
The two of them relaxed a lot outside. Song Wenye looked at Chu Xiaxing, who was observing the cauliflower, and asked curiously, "Will Director Chu ever choose to be a child?"
Chu Xiaxing said decisively, "No."
Song Wenye: "Why?"
Chu Xiaxing: "I don't deserve it."
This is what Chu Xiaxing said in her heart. She was originally an older sister at home, and she had to take care of her younger sister Chu Qiuyi, so naturally she couldn't get emotional. After graduation, she chose to be a director. She had to compete with other male directors for opportunities, and she had to eliminate the characteristics that made people vulnerable, otherwise it would be difficult to get ahead as a director. She was the boss of the crew when she was working, and she had to take on a lot of invisible responsibilities, and she had to stay away from these emotional parts.
So she is not worthy, she has no chance, she will always be an adult.
Song Wenye blinked: "But it's not a shame to feel ashamed like a child once in a while."
"Are you now learning and selling now?" Chu Xiaxing heard him repeating his words, both angrily and funny, "It doesn't matter, I have the second half of the sentence here, although there is nothing shameful, but you will not be understood when you are uncomfortable. , so it's useless in the end."
Song Wenye: "No, at least I felt understood just now, so it's not useless."
Song Wenye noticed that Chu Xiaxing's heart was different. Although it was useless to say that she was uncomfortable, she also cared about the emotions of the people around her. She could only say that she felt uncomfortable and useless.
Chu Xiaxing was stunned for a moment. Seeing his serious expression again, she pondered for a few seconds, and then tentatively said, "...Then is it too late for me to change my mind? Actually, it's really a shame to feel uncomfortable like a child."
Song Wenye said slowly, "Then you just lied to me and humiliated me. You have to even out on both sides, otherwise I can't get over it."
Chu Xiaxing: "?" If you want to cheat, why bother
Song Wenye smiled and said, "So Director Chu can occasionally choose to be a child, maybe it's not completely useless."
"You're really the first person to say this to me." Chu Xiaxing was used to handling everything independently. People around her felt that Director Chu could handle everything, and she herself felt the same way over time.
Song Wenye: "You are also the first person to say this to me."
When Chu Xiaxing heard his serious tone, she felt quite emotional for a while. She didn't know what to say. She finally said lightly, "Okay, that's a coincidence."
They are all used to walking in front alone, and there are some inexplicable similarities.
Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye didn't hang out in the yard for a long time, and they were called over to dinner by Mother Duan after a while. Because the two were busy with business, they didn't stay for a long time. Song Wenye also had to communicate with the organization that investigated Duan Hui, while Chu Xiaxing went back to his home and began to read the information of Yanchuan Film and Television City.
Although Chu Xiaxing had consulted a lot of documents, but as the memory gradually dissipated, it was too long.
Song Wenye provided materials that had been sorted out in recent years, but Chu Xiaxing remembered that Duan Hui had given her some ancient books of local folklore, but she was in a hurry when she left Yanchuan, and she didn't even remember what she was wearing at that time, so she couldn't find it. Luggage to take to Yanchuan.
Inside the villa, Xie Zhaoyan heard the reason why Chu Xiaxing was looking for her. She said in disbelief, "Are you looking for a suitcase from decades ago? Can you still find this thing?"
Chu Xiaxing rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "I forgot what luggage I brought at the time. Do you still remember what happened when you drove to pick me up? I really can't remember..."
When Chu Xiaxing left Yanchuan City, the local situation was chaotic, and Duan Hui evaporated. Xie Zhaoyan was afraid that her friend would get into trouble out of town, so she simply drove Chu Xiaxing away.
Xie Zhaoyan: "You seem to be carrying a small suitcase, but you can't find it now, right?"
Chu Xiaxing: "It may be in the warehouse."
Because Chu Xiaxing is filming outside all year round, she has a lot of suitcases, and she doesn't tend to throw them away casually, and she basically keeps them in the warehouse at home.
As soon as Chu Xiaxing opened the door of the warehouse, Xie Zhaoyan choked on the dust in it. She said speechlessly, "Are you tricking me into cleaning?"
Xie Zhaoyan wanted to complain, but she suddenly looked at the suitcase in the corner and said with joy, "Hey, I bought this one for you. When we were filming in Hong Kong... It's been a while, you still have it. !"
In Chu Xiaxing's warehouse, there are various types of suitcases piled up. It's not so much the suitcases she packs her stuff in, it's more like her working partners. The story behind each suitcase is also different, some were worn and bumped on the way to work, some were gifted by the same group of actors or friends, and they have been to different places.
"I guess it was only used for "Blood Sky", after all, there are no wheels..." Xie Zhaoyan looked at the old things with nostalgia, "I really should have come here to collect materials, isn't this the history of your works?"
Xie Zhaoyan looked at the suitcases very interestingly. She felt that this reflected part of Director Chu's characteristics. The other party was always in a state of wandering, but in fact, he rarely stayed at home.
Chu Xiaxing: "Hurry up and help me find the box at that time. You can look at the rest for as long as you want."
Xie Zhaoyan: "Then look for one without wheels. I remember that the box is not big."
Finally, with the help of Xie Zhaoyan, Chu Xiaxing found the suitcase that was brought to Yanchuan City. Because she didn't plan to stay for too long at that time, plus the inconvenient way to and from, she didn't bring too many clothes.
Chu Xiaxing studied the lock for a long time. She finally succeeded in opening the old box, and she saw a pile of yellowed paper slipping down and splashing all over the ground. The box was empty, and there were only some useless old books left. At first, Chu Xiaxing felt that Yanchuan's affairs were yellow, and he didn't even have the idea to clean them up.
Xie Zhaoyan helped her pick up the books, and said, "You didn't bring much stuff back then, and you sold your eldest brother before you left. At that time, I was so angry..."
Chu Xiaxing said blankly, "Ah? What else?"
Xie Zhaoyan: "When you went, you brought a newly bought big brother, and when you came back, you had to ask someone to buy it again. Don't you remember? I was the one who helped you find it."
Chu Xiaxing really couldn't remember what happened when she left. She looked really dazed at the time, so she remembered getting in Xie Zhaoyan's car and leaving.
"I drove thousands of miles to pick you up, but you refused to leave at that time, and insisted on going to Duan Hui's family. We were still arguing on the side of the road..."
Xie Zhaoyan was afraid that Chu Xiaxing would be detained by the local forces, so she naturally felt that she ran back to risk herself: "Later you seem to meet an acquaintance, that man took you for a ride when he came, and we didn't have any cash on us either. You sold the eldest brother to others, and before you took his money, let him send the money to Duan Hui's house."
"It's said to pay Duan Hui's son back for the snacks." Xie Zhaoyan laughed, "These are expensive snacks, you have to sell a big brother to pay them back. Fortunately, you finally agreed to leave after being stupid. I didn't stop you."
Xie Zhaoyan knew that Chu Xiaxing was ashamed at the time, and they didn't know Duan Hui's whereabouts at that time, so Chu Xiaxing naturally felt that she was running away. She was only willing to get into Xie Zhaoyan's car after she had arranged all this thoroughly.
Chu Xiaxing was a little confused when she left. She really couldn't remember many details, but at this time, with Xie Zhaoyan's reminder, she felt that some things were gradually becoming clear.
