Jiang Dianying drank so much wine that she was completely drunk. At a certain moment, it was as if she woke up from a dream.
She was burping, her hair was disheveled, her drunken face was in the light, her skin was cold and pale, she was leaning against Gu Qingwu's shoulder, chatting endlessly: "Baby... I found that everyone has to suffer. You suffer first and then enjoy happiness, and I will enjoy happiness first and then suffer."
Gu Qingwu was afraid that she would get alcohol poisoning if she continued drinking, so he took the goblet away and intentionally stopped her from drinking. He continued the conversation: "Dian Dian, don't be too obsessed with a certain feeling, so that you can get out of it safely."
"precious."
Jiang Dianying raised her head and looked at Gu Qingwu carefully. At such a close distance, she could even see her curled eyelashes clearly. What she wanted to see more was her gentle eyes at the moment. She burped again and asked, "You have been obsessed with He Suichen for seven years. Have you ever thought of letting go?"
“Yes.”
Gu Qingwu did not hide anything from her and spoke out her true feelings: "Ever since He Suichen left Nanming Temple without saying goodbye... I have not set foot in the temple again. Later, I was taken back by the Gu family and was admitted to the Film Academy. I devoted myself to acting and had long forgotten about him."
If He Sui Chen had not set up a trap for her after they met again after a long separation, and had not used threats and inducements to force her to acknowledge their relationship.
Gu Qingwu is not the type of person who would look back on her own initiative, nor would she risk her life for a man. Influenced by her primitive family since childhood, she has been unable to truly experience normal emotions. She is a little lacking in love, and is extremely afraid of being abandoned by that little bit of warmth.
And by accident, she used her already cold body temperature to warm up He Sui Chen's dark life.
Gu Qingwu was absent-minded for a while, and then said softly: "I love this man deeply. If He Suichen falls in love with another woman one day, I will be very painful, but I will choose to break up with him in the most painful way and never see him again in this life."
"Then... after I survive the pain of near-death, I will try my best to live to be a hundred years old. After I outlast He Suichen, I will hold up my cane and curse him at his tombstone every day."
Jiang Dianying's sense of humor was very low, and tears immediately fell: "Okay, then after Cheng Shu dies, I will also hold up my cane and scold him."
Gu Qingwu stroked her disheveled hair with his fingertips and said softly, "Go take a shower."
Jiang Dianying's eyes were all red, and she hugged her tightly, her voice choking and unclear: "Baby, it is natural for He Suichen to love you. You are the best and warmest woman in the world..."
Gu Qingwu appears to be cold and aloof outside, but she will show her softest side to the people closest to her.
I don't want to drink anymore.
Jiang Dianying was coaxed into the bathroom to wash off the smell of alcohol. During this time, she even vomited on the toilet. When she was almost sober, she casually pulled a bathrobe over her body, flipped through her phone with her pale fingers, and deleted all the traces of Cheng Shu in her WeChat Moments.
All the photos of the two, their chat content and contact information were deleted.
There was no more message from Cheng Shu on this phone. Her fingers loosened weakly and the phone slid into the toilet.
Gu Qingwu knew that she was completely heartbroken, so he said nothing and helped the intoxicated Jiang Dianying to the bedroom.
Half an hour later.
The door closed gently and there were two knocks outside the suite.
Gu Qingwu put down her rolled-up sleeves and walked over to open the door. It was Cheng Shu who came out. He was still wearing the same light blue suit, which made his handsome face look particularly clear. When he saw her, his brows seemed to be filled with heavy emotions. He asked in a low voice, "Where's Diandian?"
"I sent you a message because I wanted you to have a good talk with her tonight." Gu Qingwu paused, looked at the closed door behind him, and said, "Dian Dian is drunk now. I'm afraid she won't want to see you when she wakes up."
Cheng Shu was not discouraged by this, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law... Sui Chen is waiting for you downstairs in the hotel. I will take good care of her."
Gu Qingwu: “…”
He asked He Sui Chen to come to the rescue late at night because he was determined to talk to Jiang Dianying about what happened.
After a moment.
Gu Qingwu raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a calm tone: "For the sake of our old relationship, don't hurt her again."
The hotel’s heavy curtains were closed, not letting in any light, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.
When Jiang Dianying woke up from the drunkenness, he found himself lying on a soft bed.
It had been a long time since she had drunk so much. Her first reaction was a sharp pain in her forehead. When she wanted to raise her hand to rub her temple, she found that she could not move. She turned her head slightly and saw Cheng Shu sitting on the edge of the bed.
Cheng Shu held her slightly cold hand tightly, and with his eyes lowered, he watched her surprised expression when she woke up with great concentration.
Jiang Dianying was slow to react until she heard him whisper softly, "Would you like some water?"
I drank too much and my throat was really dry.
Jiang Dianying coughed subconsciously, and the next second, Cheng Shu let go of her hand and stood up to pour a glass of water.
She hid herself under the quilt almost immediately. Her defensive intention was obvious. Cheng Shu was a very sensitive person and it was impossible for him not to notice it. However, his gentle smile and his attitude towards her were as intimate as before, which made people mistakenly think that this was deep affection.
Jiang Dianying didn't know why, but she felt it was so boring. She said in a hoarse voice, "... Between us, it seems like I was the one who forced it all the time."
If she hadn't insisted on forcing this entangled fate, Cheng Shu and her would never have started.
Jiang Dianying realized it too late. Now she wanted to break up, but the gentle and refined man in front of her disagreed. His eyes were always deep and calm, but at this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion or they were slightly moist under the bright light.
"Diandian, don't sentence me to death, okay?"
This sentence struck directly into the softest part of her heart, almost making Jiang Dianying reach out and grasp the slim hope again, but she couldn't continue to degenerate. After taking a deep breath, she spoke again: "I gave you a chance. I have been waiting for you since the old man's birthday party."
She returned to being a friend, waiting for Cheng Shu to take the initiative to move closer to her.
But things don't always go as planned. Cheng Shu is always busy taking care of his ex-wife, so what is she
Apart from Cheng Shu, Jiang Dianying had never loved a man so humbly in her life. In her bones, she was as proud as Gu Qingwu. She smiled, and her hoarse voice was not pleasant to hear: "I love you for being gentle and considerate. You do everything yourself for the people around you, and you respect women and don't act like a superior... But it's a double-edged sword. I enjoy your warmth, and so can your ex-wife."
Cheng Shu wanted to hold her slender white fingers on the quilt, but she dodged him. This made him show obvious emotion between his eyebrows, revealing a rare strong attitude: "Dian Dian, give me three minutes to explain, listen to me."
"Zhong Tingruo is in trouble again and wants your help, right?" Jiang Dianying could guess what was going on with her eyes closed. This woman, relying on her wealthy family background, was used to shuttling among various dignitaries in the business world to obtain the resources she wanted.
In Zhong Tingruo's eyes, men are objects that are strictly divided into different levels.
She can indulge her ambitions to her heart's content.
Cheng Shu stared at her cold expression, and the long-lost bitterness in his heart emerged. He smiled bitterly and said, "There is a problem with her company's project, and she needs some funds to tide over the difficulties."
"You promised to help her?"
"No."
This answer surprised Jiang Dianying, and she turned to look at him.
The emotions in Cheng Shu's eyes were very complicated, but when they fell on her side, there was a hint of warmth and clarity. He whispered, "Zhong Tingruo's project cannot be saved. No matter how much money is invested, it will only be a bottomless pit. He Suichen was unwilling to invest at the beginning, and he had already reminded her."
"You didn't help out of compassion?"
With Cheng Shu's temper, Jiang Dianying knew that even if he knew it was a bottomless pit, he would still be willing to invest money in it.
But she ignored the fact that Cheng Shu was the heir to the Cheng Group. His businessman nature prevented him from making a wrong judgment. He sighed softly, "I feel I owe Zhong Tingruo because I knew she had a 100-year engagement with the Xie family, but I relied on my brotherly relationship with Xie Lanshen to pursue her."
Cheng Shu firmly believed in cause and effect. If he had not interfered back then, Zhong Tingruo might have been able to use this engagement to qualify and fight for the man she loved.
However, because he fell in love with Zhong Tingruo at first sight, Xie Lanshen was determined to be the matchmaker and introduced his nominal fiancée to him.
Over the years, Cheng Shu knew that he could not let Zhong Tingruo down, so he was obedient and accommodating to her, fearing that he would not serve her well enough and make her regret marrying into the Cheng family.
But after the divorce.
Cheng Shu's feelings for Zhong Tingruo gradually faded, and his long-empty heart was completely occupied by Jiang Dianying. On the one hand, he reminded himself that a girl with Jiang Dianying's personality was not suitable for him to be a couple, but on the other hand, he could not help but sink into her hot love.
He was in love with the woman in front of him, truly and without a trace of falsehood.
Cheng Shu expressed his deepest feelings to her, his eyes still deep, in the semi-darkness, he described the outline of Jiang Dianying's profile bit by bit, called her again, and murmured to himself: "Dian Dian, I love you."
The bedroom was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.
Jiang Dianying had been waiting for so long, and when she finally heard these three words, she did not feel as excited as she had imagined, but rather very calm.
She lowered her eyelashes and watched Cheng Shu's slender and handsome hand clench her fingertips, the warmth coming through her. She suddenly came to her senses and pulled it out, with rejection in her eyes: "Even if you love me, it can't change the emotional situation of the three of us... I don't want to live the rest of my life worrying about you running to your ex-wife to show your warmth, and I don't want to see Zhong Tingruo crying in front of you again and again as a victim."
"Cheng Shu, I've thought about it... After all, our love is different from He Suichen and Gu Qingwu's."
"At least there is no third person in their love. There is Zhong Tingruo between you and me. You can't avoid her or hide from her."
“… Let’s just go our separate ways.”
-
Jiang Dianying didn't want to look back. After breaking up with Cheng Shu, she went to the villa that day to move out all her belongings. She filled several suitcases full. She didn't expect that after living there for two years, she had left so many things without realizing it.
She didn't even leave a pair of socks in the closet, and threw them into the garbage collection outside the villa because she couldn't take them away.
Gu Qingwu came with her. She glanced at the man downstairs and said to Jiang Dianying who was controlling the photo frames on the wall in the master bedroom, "No wonder Cheng Shu is known as a good guy in the circle. He can tolerate your moving in such a high-profile manner."
"He is a gentleman... He only knows how to accommodate women."
Jiang Dianying's tone was slightly sarcastic. She quickly took out a photo of the two of them from the frame, and with a few clicks of a pair of scissors, tore up her photo.
After the master bedroom was tossed around like it had been robbed, he clapped his hands contentedly and raised his eyebrows at Gu Qingwu: "Let's go."
Jiang Dianying asked the assistant who came with her to take away all the suitcases. She walked past Cheng Shu in ten-centimeter high heels without even glancing at him. Her beautiful and tall figure quickly disappeared at the door of the villa.
Gu Qingwu let Cheng Shu stop him. He looked normal and said gently, "Thank you for taking care of Diandian during this period... If she has any problems, please let me know."
"Are you this dedicated and conscientious with every ex? This breakup service is really great."
"Diandian and I haven't broken up."
Cheng Shu stared intently at the sarcastic smile in Gu Qingwu's eyes, pinched his knuckles with his long fingers, and said slowly and emphatically: "For me, it doesn't count."
…
"Cheng Shu, do you still have the dignity of a man? You actually told you that I haven't broken up with him?"
In the car, Jiang Dianying was so angry that she almost asked the driver to drive back to argue with Cheng Shu.
Gu Qingwu said calmly, "Has Cheng Shu's mental illness in bed been cured?"
Jiang Dianying reacted quickly: "Baby, are you afraid that he doesn't want to break up, and you're using me as a tool to satisfy your sexual desires?"
Gu Qingwu didn't want to speculate on a man's thoughts like this, but since it was related to Jiang Dianying's future happiness, she didn't miss any possibility and said softly: "From the conclusion I drew from He Suichen... Once a man breaks his vow, he won't be able to abstain from sex in this matter."
Jiang Dianying felt very disappointed, thinking that Cheng Shu seemed to be particularly passionate towards her only in bed.
It's almost to the point where whatever you ask for will be granted. I guess he would be willing to die this time.
"Baby... why don't I go find Shen Xingdu to date? We're a good match, and we're childhood sweethearts... What a perfect match!"
Jiang Dianying has always been a person of action. She said verbally that she wanted to find Shen Xingdu, but within a few days she started making efforts.
The crew of "Snowy Night" has officially started filming. Chu Sanyan's team are all familiar faces who have worked together before. Gu Qingwu and Shen Xingdu, as the protagonists, did not stay in a hotel this time. Instead, they brought their assistants and others to live nearby in a villa that Chu Sanyan bought in Hengdian in his early years.
Jiang Dianying also moved in in a hurry with her suitcase. No one knew how she convinced Chu Sanyan to get a small supporting role.
She could have finished her role in a day or two, but she made it so that she would have to stay for two months, sharing a room with Gu Qingwu, and chose a room next to Shen Xingdu.
Without He Sui Chen, Gu Qingwu decisively chose to abandon the man she was waiting for at home in order to live with her best friend.
Three months have passed since He Sui Chen received the rabies vaccine, and he is still practicing abstinence and has no sex life.
Jiang Dianying's scenes for the day had already been filmed, so she took on the role of a gentle babysitter, preparing careful meals for Gu Qingwu and Shen Xingdu every day. She also did not forget to show off her cooking skills in the group photo of the "Snowy Night" crew.
Once, after He Sui Chen finished talking with his friends about a new charity project, he casually opened the WeChat group and saw the photo of Jiang Dianyingfa.
She prepared two heart-shaped lunches, put name tags on them, and prepared to send them to the Hengdian Film Set.
"The heart-shaped fried eggs are my baby Wuwu and Dudu's favorite."
In the group, Luo Yuan jumped out to complain: "Jiang Dianying, why do you make it look like a couple's meal every day..."
After reading the chat history, He Suichen quietly exited the WeChat group chat. He didn't show much emotion from beginning to end. His slender joints gently tapped his knees. After a while, he opened his thin lips and asked Yan Shu next to him slowly, "How long has it been since I visited the crew?"
Yan Shu replied: "Mr. He, you went to visit the crew last week, but because you had no place to stay... your wife was busy filming, so you didn't stay at the hotel. You just had a quick meal and came back."
To put it mildly, He Sui Chen was forced to stay and eat this simple meal.
Since Gu Qingwu started filming, she has been concentrating on the crew and has forgotten her married status.
He Suichen pondered for a few seconds, then whispered without any prelude: "I'll go remind her."
Yan Shu's mind was full of question marks: "..."
Reminder of what
The author has something to say: Guess where Mr. He, who is eagerly waiting at home, will stay when he visits the crew:d
There will be two updates in the evening, at the usual time.
