After separating from Tao Tao, Lin Xiwen and others had already left, and Jiang Se drove out of the garage.
The capital was very cold after midnight. Under the dim light, one could see the falling drizzle forming mist. Jiang Se saw at a glance several cars parked illegally on the road in front of him. Nie Dan and his friends were talking to Pei Yi, and the two girls who followed them were laughing. As soon as Mo Anqi stopped the car, she instinctively looked back at Jiang Se.
Pei Yi leaned against the car door, put on the hood of his coat, and crossed his long legs. When he heard the sound of the car driving out of the garage, he stood up straight and strode towards Jiang Se.
Before Mo Anqi had time to get out of the car to open the door for Jiang Se, he had already opened the door and unzipped his jacket. As soon as Jiang Se came out, he pulled the jacket and wrapped her in his arms.
Jiang Se was quickly surrounded by his breath and body temperature. His hot breath blew on her head and ears. This intimacy immediately awakened the longing buried in her heart. She put her arms around Pei Yi's waist, put her face on his shoulder, and asked him vaguely:
"When did you come back?"
He kissed her forehead and hair closely, but was reluctant to go further, fearing that this intimate feeling would be shared by others.
When he was in the cinema earlier, he wanted to hug her. In the two months since he left the capital, the heavy workload and courses were not the most difficult thing for him to endure. Instead, it was the longing for her that made him suffer.
"I'm on a six o'clock flight. I'll come over as soon as I get back."
His voice was a little hoarse, filled with hidden longing, and his eyes seemed to melt people.
As soon as Jiang Se came, there was no room for anyone else in his eyes or heart. Nie Dan and the others were already accustomed to such situations. However, the two girls who came with them looked at each other with surprise.
"Sese, congratulations, the movie is great."
Nie Dan and the others followed. Jiang Se said hello to Mo Anqi and asked her to go first. After hearing what Nie Dan said, she smiled:
"Congratulations to you, your investment has been saved."
Cheng Runing seemed to have just remembered about the investment and became excited:
"Yes, we invested. How much did we earn this time?"
Several people invested more than 200 million yuan in total, and Pei Yi alone accounted for most of the share. Currently, the pre-sale box office of "Beijing Events" has reached 300 million yuan. In the evening, Jiang Se heard Lin Xiwen mentioned excitedly that the theater chain intended to increase the screening rate again. Once the screening volume increases and the word of mouth of the movie comes out, it should not be a problem for the Chinese box office in the later period to be conservatively estimated at 1 billion.
Apart from costs and film operations, any additional income is pure profit.
To be honest, Nie Dan and his friends didn't lack the money, but the idea of making money easily by relying on their own vision and abilities without relying on family connections still made them happy when they thought about it.
"By the way..." After chatting for a while, Nie Dan suddenly remembered something: "Brother Yi, you just came back, you may not know..."
"I see."
Pei Yi seemed to know what he was going to say, interrupted him, and pulled Jiang Se towards his car: "We're leaving first, and we'll contact each other tomorrow."
Nie Dan was stunned for a moment, then laughed again and waved at him. The others left first. Pei Yi did not rush to start the car. Instead, he put down the chair and hugged Jiang Se into his arms:
"I miss you so much."
In the narrow space of the car, he couldn't stretch his long legs, so he had to bend them and rest them on her legs.
He traced her facial features with his lips, felt her eyelashes trembling gently beneath her thin eyelids, and her breath blowing on his chin, melting his heart.
Pei Yi liked this feeling. She obediently rested her head on his arms. He raised his body to cover her, completely enveloping her in his breath.
Half of his reason and half of his instinct were in tug of war. He finally sighed, reached out to hook her hair, and whispered:
"Sese, your grandfather called the family doctor."
When she heard this, her body trembled, and all thoughts of romance disappeared. She instinctively held Pei Yi's hand tightly. His palm was much larger than hers, and was strong and warm. As soon as she moved, he held her hand in his palm, giving her silent comfort.
Jiang Se used to think that Pei Yi was younger than her. Even after she was reborn, the situation was reversed. But psychologically, when she looked at Pei Yi, she often still felt that he was childish and would coax him like a child.
She had seen him in his youth, seen him being young and frivolous, and seen him cry, but this was the first time he held her hand and coaxed her softly:
"Don't panic."
At this moment, he was like her spiritual support. She nodded reluctantly, and Pei Yi said:
"The situation shouldn't be serious, otherwise you should go to the hospital."
There should be no major problems, but minor problems are inevitable.
Jiang Se knew Feng Zhongliang's character. He had a private doctor who would go to Feng's house every month for routine physical examinations.
He had been to the battlefield and suffered when he was young, but he had maintained good health as he got older. He did not sit in his spare time, but instead tended flowers and plants. Before his rebirth, the doctor confirmed every time after the examination that, apart from the old injuries, there were no other problems.
"What's going on?"
After a long time, Jiang Se asked, Pei Yi stood up, put the chair away, and fastened the seat belt for her:
"I'm not sure either. My grandfather mentioned it when he called me. He said he fell at home."
After he said this, he turned to look at her. Her face was a little pale and her lips were tightly pursed.
"It's too late now. Let's go to the Feng family tomorrow morning."
She was not qualified to go to the Feng family now, but he was, Jiang Se nodded.
He came back suddenly. Jiang Se originally wanted to ask him why he came back suddenly, but the news that Feng Zhongliang was injured made him lose interest.
It was already very late when she returned. She took a shower and went to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. Pei Yi kept talking to her. Fortunately, he was by her side at this time.
At this time, those who were still awake in the middle of the night included Tao Tao, who was still working overtime at Longxing Studio to finish the news for tomorrow morning, and Shu Peien, who attended the premiere of "Peking Events" and watched the movie again.
He hasn't stayed up late like this for a long time.
Unless his body does not allow it, his life has long been regular and he usually goes to bed around ten o'clock.
But tonight he sat at his desk, carefully recalling the plot and characters in "Peking Events".
He wanted to write a film review again. The last time he had this urge was when he watched Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation". (To be continued)
