"Cheng Yu, you made a good call. Your Cheng Ran has been living in the downstairs guest room of my house for several days. When will you pick him up?"
"Just let him live, I don't want to see him, so get angry."
"Why are you so angry... Hey, my doorbell rang, wait a minute."
Xia Rongjin pulled on his slippers and walked to the door where the doorbell kept ringing. He still held the phone in his left hand, and opened the door with his right hand. After seeing the people standing outside the door, he sighed helplessly: "...Director Li, isn't it Is it better to find Ye Mang than to find me? And I have already promised you that I will do my best, so don't waste your time with me... "
The person who rang the bell outside the door was indeed Li Yan, and he said calmly, "Ye Mang will always be more towards Amber, let him persuade, maybe later it will become a meeting between the two of them against me."
"No, no, Ye Mang also knows how hard it is for you two." Xia Rong said, "And Brother Yi will be angry with you because he can't contact you for two days, which means you still have you in his heart, so go back and coax him , Speak softly, if you can’t do it, kneel on the washboard, and promise a few more times, it’s absolutely fine, ah.”
"Really?" Li Yan asked.
"Really! That's how I coaxed Su Chi, try everything!" Xia Rong supported his shoulders and helped him turn around, "You can rest assured!"
When the door was closed, Xia Rong turned around and walked back to the living room. Just as he was drinking a glass of water, he heard Cheng Yu asking on the phone: "Who is going up and who's going down between you and Su Chi?"
"Pfft..." Xia Rong almost spit out a mouthful of water that he had just swallowed, "...he fucked, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yu was slightly suspicious and asked, "Really?"
"Is someone lying and saying that he is suffering!"
"Then you are still coaxing him? Where is his dignity as an attacker!"
"I said, Cheng Xiaoyu, you are too one-sided in view of attack and perception." Xia Rong took a bite of a lemon that Su Chi had put on the dining table before going out, "I coaxed him because I have a big heart, and I don't care about it every day." Damn, can I stop coaxing him when he's aggrieved and anxious? He treats me with care and attention to every aspect. Unless I do it on purpose, there's nothing to be angry with him at all... "
Cheng Yu couldn't bear it anymore: "That's enough, I didn't come to listen to your show of affection!"
"... Hey, you asked me first." Xia Rong stomped upstairs with a lemon in his mouth, "Then back to the original question, when will you pick up Cheng Ran from your family?"
"I told you that I don't want to see him, so I'm angry. Didn't I help you raise the cat for so long, can you help me look at him?"
"No, of course, but why are you angry with him? Didn't you want to support him for the rest of your life without complaint or regret?"
"Bah, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake? The farmer raised the snake with good intentions, and he just touched it, and it bit back! Do you think it has no conscience and can not make people angry? ?"
"Uh... how did the snake bite people with an 'ow' sound?"
Cheng Yu: "... What weird issues are you focusing on?"
Xia Rong: "Oh...then where did you touch the snake, and where did it bite you?"
Cheng Yu: "..."
"...Anyway, I don't want to see him right now." After an awkward silence, Cheng Yu said a little guilty, "Let's live with you first, anyway, he can take care of himself, and the food is quite delicious."
"Farewell, I haven't seen him enter the kitchen since he came here, I guess he just washed his hands and made soup for you alone." Xia Rong said, "I don't know if Su Chi's cooking suits his taste, our house is far away from his school , and a detour, he wakes up early and stays late every day after class, and in just a few days, he has lost a little weight... Tsk tsk."
Cheng Yu said in a tense voice: "It's far away from the school, won't he live in the school?"
"I also asked him, and he said he couldn't live in it. Because when the school first allocated the dormitory, he didn't go to live in it. Now his bed is full of debris on the top and bottom of his bed, and he can't live in it at all."
"Zhucao, what kind of roommates are these?" Cheng Yu exploded at the time, "Is there such a bully? Although Cheng Ran didn't go to live, he paid for the accommodation! If it were me, I would Just throw all their rags out of the window! He just forgets it? How can a person who has lived two lifetimes be so bun... "
"I have lost my memory, and I only have a short memory of one year when I came to this world." Xia Rong reminded him friendly.
"... No, I have to talk about it." Cheng Yu said, "I've never been afraid of anyone in terms of convincing people with reason! You tell Cheng Ran to wait at the east gate of the school tomorrow. Those dormmates, don't think that no one will give him an answer." Early…”
"Didn't you say you get angry when you see him? You don't want to see him?" Xia Rong suppressed a smile.
"... That's different!" Cheng Yu said, "I don't want to see him as an internal problem, leaving him to be bullied by his classmates, and the scale I raised for more than half a year just fell off like this... That's a waste of me money!"
"Yes, yes, you can't waste money. Be careful, don't let people recognize you when you go to school." Xia Rong threw the leftover lemon peel into the trash can, and pushed away the room next door, which was originally a guest room, but has now been abandoned. A door that transforms into a cat's bedroom.
"It's okay. Besides, I'm here to seek justice for him. How about recognizing him? I always convince people with reason!" Cheng Yu said nonchalantly, "I'm dead, don't forget to tell Cheng Ran!"
"Hmm..." Xia Rong responded subconsciously, and only after the echo of "beep" and "beep" came from the phone did he wake up to the mess on the ground, "—brother, brother, you two give me come out!!!"
=====
"You two, do you still have the dignity to be civets?" Xia Rong squatted on the ground, in front of two cats with drooping eyebrows, one of them raised his forehead, "Look for yourself, over there, over there , and over there..."
When I was young and immature, I didn't care about it. I didn't expect that Xia Rong would have to face the pain of messing up the house again when the tension was so great.
"Look for a kitten and don't want it, say neutering and don't go." Xia Rong pinched the fleshy faces of the two cats, "Just stay at home all day doing basic and live things, and say, what do you want to do? "
"The masterpiece of the two of them?" A voice came from the door. It turned out that Su Chi had gone home and went upstairs. He loosened his tie and frowned slightly, "Rongrong, I'm too tired today and I don't want to clean up. You call the housekeeping."
"Oh, good." Xia Rong hurriedly got up and stood up, muttering, "Glass, that scumbag..."
"—What are you talking about me behind my back?"
Glass followed Su Chi, jumped in in two steps, and with a slight flick of his ears, the whole room returned to its original state, clean as ever.
"Have you seen it? A small spell for cleaning and dust removal." Glass turned his head and looked at the two cats behind him—the blue and white Yingshou nodded in a daze, and the pure orange cat shook his head blankly.
"...how could there be such stupid civet cats like you." Glass shook his head in pain, then turned back and said to Xia Rong, "I came back this time to teach them a double-cultivation spell, which can refine spirituality, catch yin and replenish yang. It won't be so annoying meow."
Tiantian also walked into the room with graceful steps, and Glass hid her paws by her beard and coughed lightly: "... Tiantian is not considered a civet in the first place. We have used this spell for a long time to get what we are now."
Xia Rong imagined Glass Tiantian's romantic past, and silently dropped his jaw.
"There are also a few little civets in the generation of the Mu family who are born with weak spiritual power—" Mu Kun also came up, panting and pawing at the door frame, "Glass, do you want to go home and teach them? It can be regarded as catching up. Keke..."
"The old cats in the clan can teach you better than me." Glass rolled his eyes at him, and said to Xia Rong, "If you have something to go out in the future, just entrust them both to Mu Kun. He knows how to raise civets. .”
"What? I raise them?! Then how can I chase you..." Mu Kun protested.
"Just don't move around in City B." Glass said calmly, "Recently, the cultivation world will make a big move in City B. If you stay here, it will be beneficial to your cultivation. When we have had enough fun, we will come back to find you."
"I haven't had a girlfriend yet, so you just let me be your baby daddy, Glass, do you still have humanity?"
Glass said: "I am a cat."
Mu Kun: "..." He held back for a long time, "Do you have cat nature?"
Glass: "Not getting a girlfriend is your own problem."
Mu Kun: "..."
Mu Kun, rush to the street.
=====
It was hard for the guests in the room to perform their duties. Those who should leave left, and those who should teach spells taught spells. The apartment of the two finally returned to tranquility.
When Su Chi came back, he was so tired that he fell asleep. Xia Rong sat on the bedside and rolled his eyelashes, and decided to go downstairs to cook him a loving dinner.
It's a pity that his eldest and young master have not touched the spring water for many years, and he stumbled when he checked the recipes. He finally prepared the ingredients.
Xia Rong was holding a knife in one hand, flipping through the recipes on the phone with the other, trying to find a slow-motion decomposition video. When he was concentrating on it, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, and a warm hand covered the back of his hand: "It's not right for you to cut like this." .”
Su Chi's voice was still hoarse and lazy as if he had just woken up.
"I know it's wrong, this is not looking for a tutorial."
"Well... why didn't you look for it?"
"With you, what tutorial do you need?"
Su Chi buried himself on his shoulder and let out a muffled laugh: "Rongrong, why are you getting sweeter and sweeter?"
"Close to vermilion is red, and close to sweet is sweet." Xia Rong let Su Chi hold his hand and slowly taught him to chop vegetables, "What did you do? Why are you so tired?"
"It's nothing..." Su Chi laughed, "Well, I put all the recent necessary schedules in these two days and settled them."
"So anxious? What are you doing with so much time?"
"Since other people's affairs are almost settled..." Su Chi kissed his side face, "Shouldn't our global travel also be put on the agenda?"
=====
At the end of December, it was the busiest time in the entire entertainment industry. Everyone was busy presenting awards, receiving awards, and rushing between various parties. Xia Rong, who had just been nominated for Oshika and was the most popular in the industry, was mysterious at this time. Disappeared, only popping up occasionally on Weibo.
[Neon, this cat store is really cute... [Picture] x9]
[The wild cat I met when I was changing planes in the United States looked like a little leopard, and kept rubbing against my legs. [Picture] x3]
[The stewed dried eel eaten by Bolin is so delicious! Can't wait to pack it away! ! [Picture] x4]
[I live in an old hotel in Ruidian. The waiters are all old men over 60 years old.]
…
Fans and melon-eaters on Weibo responded to these Weibo with both admiration and envy. Occasionally, there would be some sharp-eyed Sherlock Holmes—
[Xia Rong is really big-hearted, everyone is busy exposing and swiping his face card, but he actually travels everywhere!]
[... Is this, is this the legendary world tour?]
[Uh uh uh! Have you noticed that Su Chi also disappeared recently!]
[Su Chi disappears too frequently, as his fan, I can't judge his whereabouts at all. =_=]
[[Tears streaming down the face] Fluffy really did it... Anyone who understands will understand, let me cry for a while...]
[Holding together and crying, what is going on with this heartwarming and touching feeling...]
[See if there is someone sitting across from his dining table! I magnified the reflection in the fork twenty times, and sure enough... it's a man! !]
[I think, a man doesn't necessarily mean Su Chi...]
[Why bother to get to the bottom of it, just bless silently.]
…
Similar speculations emerged endlessly, until the beginning of February of the following year, Xia Rong posted a new Weibo:
[Xia Rong V: The big windmill is spinning around... [picture]]
Contrary to his previous style of posting a long list of styles whenever he posted a picture, this time he only matched one picture.
It should be summer in his place now, and the blue sky is as clear as water. He looks at the camera with a smile brighter than the sun. Behind him is a retro-style white church, and behind him is a beautiful flower field full of cornflowers. Through the screen, it seems that you can hear the sound of large and small windmills turning leisurely.
[Wow, where is this, it's so beautiful!]
[Fluff is so pretty, lick, lick, miss him so much]
[Look at Fluffy's hands! ! !]
[Ah, is it a ring! ! ! I didn't have any photos before! And still on the ring finger? ! What do you mean, go crazy! !]
[This, is this a marriage proposal? ?]
[Looking at the church behind him, I think it's obvious...]
[Hold the grass! ! ! Look carefully at the reflection of his glasses, is it Su Chi who took the picture of him? ! !]
…
Not long after, Su Chi, who had grown grass, also posted a new Weibo:
[Su Chi: How could you be the first to do this kind of thing. ^_^]
Neither of the two made it clear what the ring represented, and Su Chi didn't explain what kind of thing "this kind of thing" was. It was just like the saying "Those who understand will understand", and they were unwilling to accept it. Those who are willing to accept can still choose to avoid; while those who are willing to accept these two microblogs will either smile knowingly, or be so cute that they will roll around and pinch a few corners of the quilt...
=====
In late February, "Waiting for the Aurora" finally landed in domestic theaters on a small scale after going through untold hardships.
After playing around the world, and then returning to the cinema in China, Xia Rong almost felt as if he had passed away.
Su Chi had just returned after picking up the ticket, and handed him a glass of Coke, and lightly touched the rings on each other's ring fingers: "Let's go, it's time to check the ticket."
"Yeah." Xia Rong grabbed his hand and shook it lightly with a smile.
They didn't come back on the premiere day in China, so "Waiting for the Aurora" has already had a lot of film critics in China. Before the official screening, Xia Rong turned the brightness of his phone to the lowest and started watching Xiaoyugan online. Movie reviews.
Maybe it was because of being shortlisted for Ao Shika, or maybe because of the blessing of Li Yan's own light, almost all of them received good reviews:
[The distant scene, the purely realistic lens, and the natural magnificence are so shocking at this moment.]
[Under the backdrop of the Antarctic glaciers, the simple to the extreme plot moves like water flowing under the ice. You can't help but be in that scene, watching how they overcome the extreme cold and hunger, how to climb mountains, how to save a penguin and laugh at each other. There are no fancy stunts, no stand-ins, only two people who are simple to pure, and a crew that is dedicated to the extreme.]
[The acting skills of the two leading actors are very moving, and Xia Rong has officially joined my "must watch every movie" list.]
[On the sensitive topic of homosexuality, this movie is as subtle and beautiful as a traditional Chinese landscape painting. Love happens naturally. Two strangers burst into love in a strange and extreme environment. The way of love is different from daily life. The most familiar soy milk fritters are almost the same. I think Li Yan has no intention of using this film to advocate for gay rights, nor does he try to show how special homosexuality is. He just expresses such a story from an artistic and aesthetic perspective: love is interlinked, and in front of it, There has never been a difference between the opposite sex or the same sex.]
[The only thing that makes people criticize is the happy ending at the end, but I really enjoyed watching it.]
…
When Xia Rong saw this, Su Chi touched his finger. He raised his head and realized that the movie had already started.
It's not the first time Xia Rong has watched this movie, but it's the first time he's watched a pure Chinese version without English dubbing. Speaking of which, this is still a movie that is all performed by Chinese actors, so it is still a bit subtle.
The movie is still so pure and distant, soul-stirring, and, in the later stages of filming, Li Yan completed the last scene in the script——
Ran Yi injured his left leg and gave up on himself. Under the aurora, he asked Yan Jun to abandon him and survive alone. Yan Jun fed him wine, let him fall into a drowsy sleep, split the bed in the hut, and made a small trailer for Ran Yi, then carried him up and dragged him, in the long distance Difficult but determined trek through the snow.
When Ran Yi opened his eyes again, he found not only his lover's face flushed with excitement, but also a helicopter hovering above his head.
Yan Jun pinched his face and told him: "Whatever you say won't work, how do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it! Little coward, hang out with me from now on, don't get lost!"
Ran Yi laughed and shed tears at the same time, the tears condensed into ice crystals on his face, and melted away in an instant.
End.
Although "Waiting for the Aurora" was shortlisted for Oshika, it failed to win the gold just like Xia Rong. Although the biggest reason is the homosexual theme, some people attribute the reason to this ending—too perfect, too complete, lacking the beauty and tragedy beauty that art often has, and the compulsion is also reduced.
But when the lights came on and Xia Rong saw that the audience around him also had tears in their eyes and a contented smile on their lips, he felt indifferent for a moment.
Fearing that they would be recognized if they crowded with too many people, both he and Su Chi sat still in their seats for the time being.
He casually swiped through Weibo, and found a lot of new news. He clicked on it, and it turned out that Li Yan's work in China had been posted on Weibo for an unprecedented time, and Aite had posted him.
[Li Yanhuaguo Studio: Unforgettable and beautiful scene. @张欣@夏荣V@苏池@… [Picture]]
The picture above is a group photo of Su Chi and the whole crew when he came to Antarctica to explore the crew. Everyone's faces were reddish from the cold, but there were bright and innocent smiles on their faces.
This is also one of the promotions for the release of "Waiting for the Aurora" in China, and judging from the reaction of the Weibo audience, it has tens of thousands of retweets and comments in just half an hour. This time the promotion is obviously effective——
[Ah, ah, it looks so good and warm! ! !]
[Who did I see, besides the starring role, how could there be Su Chi? ! Is he on a visit? ?]
[It must be ahhh, it's too sweet!]
[Ben Rongxue came to smash candy at the speed of light! I blow up! ! It's so delicious, isn't it, such a cute pair of CPs is so happy!]
[At first, I was a little sad to see Rongrong and other people on CP, but now I am completely relieved.]
[You interpret other people's stories in the movie, but I love you sincerely in reality. TVT is the highest realm of real CP...]
[I've never cracked RPS, and I'm a little ready to move... Although I know there are a lot of sugar, I'm asking, is it okay to crack? Is it worth knocking?]
[It's so awesome! ! !]
[Only from my personal point of view: this cute CP is worth it, it is a precious memory for a lifetime.]
…
When walking out of the theater, Xia Rong heard a folk song being played in a milk tea shop not far away, and a slightly hoarse female voice sang:
“…actually I didn’t/much expecting
After all, life is short/seldom fulfilled…”
Su Chi said, "What are you looking at? Want to drink milk tea?"
Xia Rong pushed down the brim of his hat again, took his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Let's go, I see there are vacancies inside!"
The wafting aroma of milk tea mixed with the aroma of food not far away, turned into a familiar and warm smell of earthly incense.
It is only when you know that there are so many discontents in the world that you can hope to get through them eventually and to have a happy ending.
He thinks so.
