On the set thousands of miles away from Anjiang City, Xia Zhijin finally finished filming the scene where she finally had two days off on New Year's Day but was temporarily asked to do extra filming.
Even though it was New Year's Eve, the crew didn't have any festive atmosphere. Everyone is busy with their heads, orderly in chaos. The leading role came to an end for the time being, and the supporting roles entered the stage, and the crew had to continue to the middle of the night.
The night was getting dark, and the north wind was bitter. Fu Zhiqiong assigned one of her assistants to Xia Zhijin. As soon as the director finished calling, Xia Zhijin couldn't help coughing. Assistant Xiao Liu hurriedly delivered a heavy down jacket and wrapped Xia Zhijin tightly.
A few days ago, Xia Zhijin filmed a swimming scene. In the winter, he went up and down in the water for more than half an hour, and developed a high fever that night. Xia Zhijin didn't want to drag down the crew's progress because she had to catch up with the show on the second day, so she took some medicine, put on makeup to cover her sick face and continued to play, but the burn continued intermittently for several days, and she only got better today.
Xia Zhijin greeted the director, politely said to the surrounding actors and staff that you have worked hard and happy new year, and then called Xiao Liu back to the hotel, ready to pick up the luggage and leave for the airport.
Xia Zhijin has a better temper than Fu Zhiqiong, she is humble, and acts with restraint. Xiao Liu has been with her for almost two months, and treats her as half an employer and half a sister from the bottom of her heart. Until they were about to get in the car and set off, Xiao Liu still couldn't help worrying and said: "You haven't recovered much from your illness, so you can stop for a while, really don't you want to rest in the hotel for two days to catch up on sleep?"
Xia Zhijin wore a mask, showing only a pair of tired eyes with a bright smile, and joked in a hoarse voice: "Sister Liu, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going back. If I feel better, my illness may be cured without medicine." And, sister Liu, don't you want to go back and meet your boyfriend?"
Xiao Liu had nothing to do with her, and said with a smile: "Aren't I worried that you will be more tired?" She murmured in her heart, she wanted to go back to see her boyfriend, so who are you in a hurry to go back to see
Xiao Liu knew that Xia Zhijin had a sister named Shiman whom she cared about very much. When Xia Zhijin was on the stage, she would often help Xia Zhijin receive calls from him. Occasionally, she would feel that it was too sticky for her younger sister, right? But in this line of work, everyone knows that there are some things that you shouldn't care about and you shouldn't ask. No matter how curious Xiao Liu is, he dare not take the initiative to ask.
When he arrived at the airport and waited for the flight, Xiao Liu saw that Xia Zhijin hadn't answered the phone even twice, so he asked her concerned, "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhijin's bright eyes darkened just now, paused for two seconds, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I wanted to surprise Manman, but no one answered her phone call." Disappointed, so I told Shiman to go back tomorrow. But in the end she couldn't hold back her desire to see Shiman sooner, and she booked the latest flight as time allowed.
The broadcast announced that it was time to board the plane. Xia Zhijin turned off her phone, as if she was saying to Xiao Liu, but also as if she was comforting herself: "It's okay, let's go, just go back." Or... he was angry with her and deliberately refused to answer.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and the atmosphere at Anjiang City's New Year's Eve concert was in full swing. Since the finale of the song, almost all the audience stood up and sang in chorus.
At first, Lin Xian worried that she would scare Xiao Panpan if she was too excited, but she found that Xiao Panpan was much more relaxed than she thought. No matter how fanatical the screams of the fans around were, Xiao Wanqing always had a smile on her face, and occasionally hummed along when she got excited, Lin Xian gradually felt completely relieved.
Lin Xian waved the fluorescent stick following the rhythm, and stared sideways at the aroused Xiao Wanqing through the dim colored lights, watching her waving the fluorescent stick with one hand and lifting the somewhat messy bangs on her forehead with the other, with a rare briskness Recklessly, the smile in Lin Xian's eyes involuntarily deepened.
When the song on stage reached the chorus part, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Lin Xian leaned close to Xiao Wanqing's ear and raised his voice to call her: "Xiao Panpan, I want to hear you sing."
As early as the moment Lin Xian approached, Xiao Wanqing stopped humming, covered her other ear, and listened intently to her girl's whisper. Hearing this, a bright smile bloomed on the corner of her lips.
She turned her head and saw Lin Xian looking at her with crooked eyebrows. Glancing at each other, Lin Xian turned his head sideways, lifted the hairpin from his ear and put it on his little ear. Xiao Wanqing raised her hand to touch Lin Xian's little head affectionately, and leaned closer with a smile.
"If you're not by my side, no one else can see you, and I'm used to missing you. I want to say that I love you and love you unchanged, and give you all eyes..." Lin Xian covered his other ear and listened, and the whole world seemed to be quiet , only the soft and soothing singing of the sweetheart in the ear, and the warm and long breath that stirred the heartstrings remained.
She couldn't help turning her head back, and pressed her forehead against Xiao Wanqing's. In the darkness, she could clearly see the tenderness in her lover's eyes, and in the hustle and bustle, she could clearly hear each other's beating hearts. Look at me, I stack you, there is me in you, and you in me.
The countdown to the new year has already begun, but the sky has started to rain lightly. The audience in the stands didn't feel it, and the people in the infield were a little agitated. The host pressed the scene and responded: "It's raining, we have ushered in the nourishment of the first rain in the new year. This is a good sign. It seems that in the coming year, our lives will be nourished and prosperous. .”
Everyone was happy when they heard the words, and they were not afraid of the cold, and continued to count down while laughing and applauding in the light rain.
Shi Jinglan sat upright with a calm face throughout the whole scene, out of tune with the surrounding heat. At this moment, she finally stood up slowly, looking up at the numbers on the big screen, as if she was counting down silently in her heart.
Wen Tong raised his hand to applaud, and inadvertently touched the back of Shi Jinglan's hand, and was shivered by the temperature of her hands. She subconsciously looked down at Shi Jinglan's hand, only to realize that the tips of her slender fingers were already faintly purple in color.
Just as she was about to say something, the bell rang suddenly, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers resounded through the square in an instant.
In 2013, a new year has arrived.
Shi Jinglan looked up at the fireworks for a moment, then turned his head to Wen Tong, with a slight smile on his peaceful face, and said softly, "Happy New Year."
The surrounding voices were too loud, and Wen Tong couldn't hear Shi Jinglan's words clearly, but from her mouth movements, she could probably tell that Shi Jinglan was saying Happy New Year.
It seemed to be the first time that Wen Tong saw Shi Jinglan smile so sincerely. The smile in her pale amber eyes was shallow but gentle, as if she had finally shed the thick mask of coldness and hypocrisy, revealing her harmless and soft inner appearance.
Wen Tong stared at her smile for a second, closed his eyes, smiled, and wished her sincerely: "Happy New Year."
She unconsciously squeezed her five fingers, hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand out of nowhere under Shi Jinglan's astonished eyes, and grasped Shi Jinglan's ice-like hands. She held Shi Jinglan's hand in front of her face, lowered her head and blew on the hot air, then raised her head and said with a smile again: "Happy New Year."
Shi Jinglan stared at Wen Tong, his usually calm eyes fluctuated almost imperceptibly.
The moment the New Year's bell rang, Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing looked at each other almost at the same time, and said "Happy New Year" together. Then, as if they were sweetened by each other's tacit understanding, the two looked at each other and smiled, taking advantage of the surrounding atmosphere, they hugged each other generously.
Shi Man was in the back row, and clearly saw Wen Tong in the front row holding Shi Jinglan's hands and exhaling, and Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing embracing each other. She wiped off the cold rain that hit her face, turned around and looked at Chen Zhi who was still admiring the fireworks by her side, her heart was involuntarily sore, the chill seemed to seep into her heart from her body.
"Happy New Year." Shi Man clasped his hands to keep warm, listened to the lively laughter around him, closed his eyes and said silently to Xia Zhijin from the bottom of his heart.
It was nearly one o'clock in the middle of the night before the party was declared over. There were too many people at the end, looking at the dense crowd of people, Lin Xian, Xiao Wanqing and Shi Man were afraid of being crowded, so they waited silently until the end.
When she was on the stage, Shi Jinglan passed by Shiman, stopped, and asked her indifferently: "How do I go back?"
"I'll ask the driver to come and pick it up." Shi Man said as he took out the phone, tapped the home button twice to wake up the screen, but there was no response, only to realize that the phone ran out of battery at some point. She looked at Shi Jinglan, then at Wen Tong behind Shi Jinglan, who was having a supper appointment with Xiao Wanqing, sighed, and said helplessly: "My phone is out of battery, mom, call Uncle Chen for me, or , Leave your driver to me."
Shi Jinglan frowned, asked Shiman to borrow Chen Zhi's phone to write down the number, and replied, "Lao Zhang is in the parking lot opposite, call him when you're done. Be careful on the road."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and greeted Xiao Wanqing, then gathered her coat and walked out leisurely.
Wen Tong heard the conversation between Shi Jinglan and Shi Man, and probably heard that Shi Jinglan left the driver with Shi Man. She looked at Shi Jinglan who was walking out confidently, a little annoyed and a little funny, but in the end she was still uneasy, and said goodbye to Xiao Wanqing: "Forget it, I'll go first, I'll send Shi Dong back."
Lin Xian suddenly laughed ambiguously, and Xiao Wanqing also laughed, teasing Wen Tong and said: "Let's go, or we won't be able to catch up."
Wen Tong waved his hand, and strode out in pursuit.
Wen Tong left, but Wen Tong's idea of having a supper moved Chen Zhi who had been standing aside. She played so hard at the concert that her stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Would you like to find a place to eat?" Chen Zhi took Shi Man's hand and suggested as they walked out. She doesn't even know how to cook noodles, and her parents must be asleep when she gets home. If she doesn't eat something, she will probably have to drink some hot water to warm her stomach when she goes back.
"I can do it." Shi Man thought of the black lights at home, and replied calmly.
Xiao Wanqing didn't speak, but asked Lin Xian with her eyes. Lin Xian asked her warmly: "How about some food?" She was also a little hungry.
Xiao Wanqing said kindly: "Okay, then go and eat some."
It's just that it was almost midnight, and the surrounding stores were either closed or occupied by people who came out first, and it seemed that it would be difficult to line up for a while.
"My friend opened a shop a little bit in front of her. She must still be open at this time. Do you want to go there?" Shi Man asked.
"Is there any food? As long as there is food." Chen Zhi looked at the long queue for ordering food in the glass window of the restaurant in front of her, and she no longer wanted to be picky about food.
Shi Man smiled and said, "Of course, let's go."
However, what he never expected was that the shop Shiman was talking about was actually a bar. Before entering, the noisy voices and music could already be heard inside.
In the bar, the lights were feasting, and the dynamic music made Lin Xian feel like his heart was about to jump out. Chen Zhi and Lin Xian came to the bar for the first time, standing at the door, looking at each other, like Grandma Liu who strayed into the Grand View Garden. Xiao Wanqing calmly pinched Lin Xian's palm, who was a bit cute, and smiled lovingly to reassure her not to panic.
Shi Man said a few words to the waiter, and then the waiter left. She turned around and greeted Lin Xian and the others: "Let's go, let's go to the box upstairs and wait for a while, someone will bring food in."
She led the three of Xiao Wanqing and the three of them to walk in the familiar way. On the way, a mature and enchanting woman with smoky makeup and big waves greeted her from nowhere. Are you inspecting the business? What about your baby Zhijin, don’t you dislike you coming to this kind of place?” This bar was invested with part of the funds that Shi Jinglan gave her when she was training her two years ago.
Shi Man smiled, didn't care about the thorn in her words, and said casually: "I'm hungry, I miss your sister's craftsmanship, come to eat."
"Do you think this is a late-night cafeteria?" The woman gave her a dissatisfied look. But like a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, she turned around and replied while walking: "Sister, I am preparing to play cards, it is you, just wait."
"Alright, thank you sister." Shi Man said sweetly to the figure of the woman.
"Ms. Shi hides his secrets, disrespectful and disrespectful." Lin Xian and Chen Zhi looked at Shi Man with the eyes of a big brother, and cupped their hands together as a joke.
Shiman was amused by her, ignored them, squeezed between Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing, took Xiao Wanqing's hand and said softly: "Aunt Xiao, let's go."
Lin Xian immediately failed, squeezed back and said angrily: "Hey! Time is full, let me go!"
Chen Zhi, Xiao Wanqing and Shi Man couldn't help laughing.
After closing the door of the box and finally cutting off the noise outside, Xiao Wanqing stretched her brows calmly. But I never expected that the private room is very big and equipped with complete ktv equipment. Chen Zhi didn't enjoy singing along with her at the concert just now. When she saw the microphone, she became excited all of a sudden. She ran to the karaoke station and ordered several Song, and began to send noise crazily again.
"..." Lin Xian listened to Chen Zhi's singing that was completely out of tune, frowned and complained in Xiao Wanqing's ear in pain: "I will never go to ktv with her next time, it's too scary. I feel sorry for the one who was just next to her Friends of the audience."
Xiao Wanqing's ears also hurt a little, she couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, raised her hand to rub Lin Xian's brow gently,
"Chen Zhi, I get a headache from hearing it." Shi Man couldn't bear it any longer, and cried out plaintively.
Chen Zhi pursed her lips, snorted, and sang the whole song arrogantly, only to realize her conscience: "Then you don't sing. Manman, you sing."
"I was seriously injured by your singing and I have no strength." Shi Man was not in the mood tonight, and declined: "Lin Xian, come on, soothe my nerves."
Lin Xian looked at the chair under the big screen in front of him, then at Xiao Wanqing, rolled his eyes, and suddenly sat beside Shi Man, and said a few words in her ear.
Xiao Wanqing only saw Shiman's lips curled up, said "Yes" and stood up and left the box. She asked Lin Xian curiously, but Lin Xian blinked and played tricks.
After a while, Shiman came back, followed by a waiter holding an accordion. Lin Xian glanced at Xiao Wanqing, got up to meet her, and took the accordion.
She sat on the chair facing Xiao Wanqing, adjusted the position of the accordion and the position of the microphone in front of her, stared at Xiao Wanqing, and said tenderly at the corners of her brows and eyes: "Xiao Panpan, remember your first When was the first time you saw me play the accordion?"
Chen Zhi and Shi Man sat on the edge of the sofa, looked at Lin Xian, and then at Xiao Wanqing, with smiles in their eyes. Her cp soul is burning.
Xiao Wanqing looked at the young and delicate girl in front of her, her eyes were watery, and she nodded to express her memory.
"Then do you still remember when I said that when I marry you, I will play to you every day?" Lin Xian bit his lip and said shyly. "This song is what I wanted to give you for Christmas last year. At that time, I liked you so much that I couldn't help myself."
The melodious melody sounded, and Lin Xian's slender five fingers were dancing on the keys. Xiao Wanqing was immersed in the music, and the movie seemed to slowly appear in front of her eyes. Under the dark sky, the heavy rain outside the floor, Xue Ye chased out the scene of crying and hugging Qiuyue with bare feet. She thought of herself and Lin Xian, and thought of them walking away. Along the way, my nose gradually became sour.
As the music faded away, Lin Xian stared at Xiao Wanqing, and affectionately confided the sentence she had written on the paper but never sent: "The sky is faintly thundering and cloudy, but I hope that the wind and rain will keep you here."
Xiao Wanqing's throat was choked with pain, she stood up, forgot the existence of Shi Man and Chen Zhi, went to Lin Xian's side, stretched out her hand and hugged the girl tightly in her arms.
She lowered her head and responded softly to Lin Xian, "Even if it doesn't rain, I will stay here."
Lin Xian looked up at the woman's smooth and charming jaw line, and called her movingly: "Xiao Panpan."
Xiao Wanqing twitched her nose, suppressed the sweetness and sourness in her heart, scratched Lin Xian's nose, raised her smile and said, "Don't you want to hear me sing to you?" Sitting next to the karaoke table, Chen Zhi said, "Xiao Zhi, can I order a song for me?"
She said softly word by word: "Lin Xian, listen, I will sing me to you."
The prelude to the song sounded, and Xiao Wanqing stared at her with the microphone. Before she could speak, Lin Xian felt that she was about to drown in her lover's tender and affectionate eyes.
"Missing is a very mysterious thing, like a shadow..." Xiao Wanqing opened her mouth, and a cold, soft and ethereal voice flowed from her throat. Chen Zhi and Shi Man immediately sat up straight, eyes full of surprise. Can't tell, Aunt Xiao is really hiding something.
"... I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be exiled to the sky for you, as long as you are sincere and respond to me with love, you are willing to do anything..." Lin Xian listened to the melodious and charming voice lingering in his ears, and his whole heart was in awe. Softened, full of heart and eyes, all of them are the charming woman in front of her singing affectionately for her.
She thought, she is the one who is willing to do anything for her.
"Ah, Aunt Xiao has another song!" After the song was over, Chen Zhi instantly became a fan girl, calling frantically.
Lin Xian couldn't help but stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Wanqing, and wanted to kiss her when he raised his head. Xiao Wanqing looked at the two people eating melons on the sofa, and subconsciously tilted her head. Lin Xian's passionate kiss fell on her cheek.
She bit her lip, looked at the excited Chen Zhi and Shi Man who looked moved, and belatedly began to shy, her little ears exposed to the air were red and bleeding.
She cleared her throat, touched her hot ears unconsciously, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to the bathroom." She walked out shyly as she spoke.
Lin Xian didn't kiss Xiao Wanqing, she was stunned for a moment, the next second, she looked at Shi Man and Chen Zhi, and immediately understood. She bent her eyebrows and said, trying to cover up, "I'll go to the bathroom too." Then, regardless of Shi Man and Chen Zhi's ambiguous expressions, she followed quickly.
As soon as Xiao Wanqing entered the bathroom, she turned on the faucet of the sink, and Lin Xian followed in, closing the door and locking it with a bang.
Xiao Wanqing turned around to look at the source of the sound in surprise, a familiar breath came into her nose, a warm body leaned forward, hugged her tightly, and offered a passionate kiss.
The girl's kiss was domineering and gentle. For the first time, Xiao Wanqing held back her shyness and opened her eyes to look at the long eyelashes that were fluttering close to her. Her eyes seemed to be dripping with tenderness. She hugged Lin Xian's neck tightly, full of love, and actively and enthusiastically responded to her, encouraging the girl to become more enthusiastic.
"Kang, kuang, kuang..." Suddenly there was a rapid and violent knock on the door.
Lin Xian froze for a moment, and wanted to continue, but Xiao Wanqing turned her head away, pushed Lin Xian, and signaled her to open the door. Lin Xian pouted, kissing off the water stains beside Xiao Wanqing's bright red lips, helping Xiao Wanqing's hair, and then took Xiao Wanqing to open the door together.
The people outside the door looked at them strangely, and murmured, "What kind of door are you closing..."
Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing glanced at each other, smiled embarrassedly at the same time, and ran out quickly with their heads down.
"Let's go back, I'll send Chen Zhi a text message." In the aisle, Lin Xian suggested with burning eyes.
"Okay." Xiao Wanqing fiddled with Lin Xian's messy hair, and agreed with her softly.
They walked out of the bar side by side with their fingers intertwined, into the hazy night, and walked in the light rain like silk. Lin Xian opened up his long coat, and wrapped Xiao Wanqing in intimately.
The neon lights ahead were flickering, and Lin Xian asked Xiao Wanqing's ear, "Xiao Panpan, what is your New Year's wish?"
Xiao Wanqing closed her moist eyes, opened her lips and said:
"Every year has today, and every year has today."
