The woman had a nightmare again. She woke up from the nightmare and after a few minutes, she noticed that the window in the room was not closed. She got out of bed to close the window and suddenly saw a small and blurry figure running downstairs. It seemed to be a little boy...
The woman didn't know what she was thinking of, her pupils dilated rapidly, she didn't have time to close the window, she hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out. When she ran downstairs, the child's voice was long gone. She opened her lips, as if she wanted to shout something, but no sound came out.
A neighbor saw the scene from the corridor upstairs. She had just moved in and didn't know much about the situation, so she asked others who seemed to be used to it, "What happened to the woman downstairs?"
"Oh, she was in a car accident a few years ago, and her son died. When it rains, she becomes mentally unstable."
"Then let her run in the rain like this. She will get sick."
"There's no way to persuade her. Go back, everyone."
The woman was like a madman, searching for the child in the rain. Just when she was doubting whether what she had just seen was an illusion, a trash can not far away suddenly caught her attention. She could vaguely hear an unusual rustling sound coming from there.
The woman's silent eyes gradually brightened, and she moved forward step by step.
It was a pair of eyes filled with fear and panic.
There was a little boy hiding behind the trash can.
"Cut!" the director's voice rang out.
The staff nearby immediately brought umbrellas and coats to Shen Xingyao and the others. This scene was either artificially caused by rain or was deliberately filmed on a rainy day. It was cold enough to be raining in October. After the director shouted "cut", the mother of the little actor rushed over, wrapped the child up, and hurriedly fed him hot ginger tea.
Ying Yanluo also handed the ginger tea in her hand to Shen Xingyao, "Drink it quickly, don't catch a cold."
After Shen Xingyao received it, she immediately took several gulps. She still had several scenes to shoot and could not delay the filming.
"Teacher Ying." Zhao Ranran called her from not far away.
Zhao Ranran likes to call Ying Yanluo "Senior Sister" in private, but when she is working, she will still call her "Teacher Ying" politely.
Ying Yanluo looked over and then said to Shen Xingyao, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Shen Xingyao nodded.
Ying Yanluo: "Writer Chen and the others are back?"
"I'm back. I'm in the conference room now."
"That's great, let's go."
Zhao Ranran followed behind Ying Yanluo.
In the next few hours, Ying Yanluo and the screenwriter team were in the conference room adjusting the script.
Director Xu Zhiyuan attached great importance to this script. In addition, they had strong investment funds, so the director had very high requirements for every frame. The script would be changed from time to time for temporary better adjustments. As the chief screenwriter, Ying Yanluo spent most of his time in the crew's screenwriter meeting room.
When she came out of the conference room, it was almost eight o'clock, and she took the script to find Teacher Gu Lian.
This period of time was not Teacher Gu Lian’s shooting time, so Gu Lian was in his own rest shed.
On the way there, she faintly heard the staff around her talking about something, like what Teacher Wu was saying... Ying Yanluo didn't really care, but just walked quickly towards Teacher Gu Lian's rest shed.
Gu Lian was chatting with his friends and stood up when he saw Ying Yanluo walking towards him.
"Teacher Ying?"
The man who had his back to Ying Yanluo also stood up and seemed to be...
Ying Yanluo paused slightly. She originally thought that Teacher Gu was talking to the staff, but she didn't expect that it would be Teacher Wu Youyan.
Wu Youyan took the initiative to greet Ying Yanluo, "Teacher Ying, long time no see."
Come to think of it, they haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time they saw him was at the platform's party last year, but their seats were far apart, so they just met when they were leaving and said hello.
Ying Yanluo: "Long time no see, are you here to visit us?"
Gu Lian laughed and teased him: "How could he, a busy man, come to visit me? His new drama is also being filmed in Hengdian, and he knew I was here, so he came to see me. By the way, Teacher Ying, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ying Yanluo took out the script and said, "Yes, there are some things. Director Xu said last time that your scene 47-2 needs to be revised. Now several of us teachers have discussed and revised it. Take a look."
When Gu Lian heard that it was about the script, he immediately became serious and reached out to take the script.
"Okay, let me see. Teacher Ying, you sit first." Then he asked Wu Youyan, "Old Wu, you sit too."
Zhao Ranran was walking towards the screenwriters' meeting room when she ran into the stage manager.
"Is Teacher Xiao Zhao going to see Teacher Ying?"
"Yes."
"Teacher Ying is not in the conference room. I just saw her going to Teacher Gu's rest shed."
Zhao Ranran guessed that she must have taken the revised script to see Teacher Gu. After thanking the stage manager, she walked towards Teacher Gu's rest shed.
…
Su Weichu felt the child in his arms gradually quiet down, so he closed the story picture book in his hand and was about to get out of bed.
"dad."
Su Weichu: "You haven't fallen asleep yet?"
He kept his eyes closed for a long time without speaking, and his breathing was even, so he thought he had fallen asleep.
"Dad, I can't sleep."
"I've told you four stories today."
"I want to hear my mother tell me a story."
There was an inexplicable sense of grievance in his tone.
Su Weichu knew that he missed his mother, so he touched his head and said, "But mom is working."
"Then let's go to Hengdian to see mom?"
Ying Yanluo has been in Hengdian for more than half a month. Although Ying Yanluo has called and video chatted with him every now and then during this half a month, Beibei still wants to go to Hengdian.
Su Weichu looked at his son's expectant yet aggrieved expression and said, "How about we go on the weekend?"
Beibei pursed his lips. He actually wanted to go tomorrow.
Su Weichu knew what his son was thinking, of course, but Ying Yanluo said when she left that although it was a kindergarten, they should not develop the habit of asking for leave casually. Su Weichu naturally listened to his wife, and it just so happened that he still had some work to deal with in the next two days.
"Can you give mom a video call now?"
Su Weichu glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock.
During this period, they basically talked in the morning. They had to get up early in the morning, so they could talk for a while during lunch. They talked in the evening, especially since Ying Yanluo's working time was not fixed on the crew. He knew that she was busy with work, and he didn't want to disturb her rest after returning to the hotel. Usually, he would call her back in the evening according to her schedule, but by that time, Beibei had already fallen asleep.
"Dad, let's make a video call." Beibei pulled Su Weichu's sleeve.
Su Weichu finally dialed the WeChat video call.
When Su Weichu called over the video, Ying Yanluo was having dinner with the crew.
She, Shen Xingyao, Gu Lian and Wu Youyan.
Su Weichu saw her in the background and asked, "Are you not going back yet?"
When Ying Yanluo answered the call, she subconsciously pressed the Amplifier button, so everyone at the table could hear Su Weichu's voice.
Shen Xingyao subconsciously asked Ying Yanluo: "Is he my brother?"
Ying Yanluo nodded and turned the phone around.
Su Weichu could only see clearly that they seemed to be in a private room, having a dinner together.
"Brother." Shen Xingyao waved towards Su Weichu in the video.
Gu Lian also greeted Su Weichu.
Wu Youyan: "Mr. Su."
Su Weichu raised his eyebrows calmly.
When Beibei saw that the video call was connected but his father had not given him the phone yet, he hurried over and shouted at the other end of the video.
"Mom, mom... aunt?"
Beibei saw Shen Xingyao.
"Beibei, are you happy to see your aunt?"
Beibei immediately said, "I'm happy, auntie, where's my mother?"
Beibei's mother was holding a cell phone. When Ying Yanluo heard Beibei's voice, she immediately turned the phone back.
Ying Yanluo greeted them, then walked out of the box with her cell phone.
"Baby, it's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"I miss my mom. Did you eat just now?"
Ying Yanluo could hear the concern in Beibei's voice, and her heart warmed. "Mom has already had dinner. She just had a midnight snack with aunt and her colleagues and teachers from the crew after work."
After hearing this, Beibei's delicate brows finally relaxed.
After a pause, he couldn't wait to say, "Mom, Dad said we'll go to Hengdian to see you this weekend."
