Zheng Baozhu still remembered that day she wore a new dress, used her mother's curling iron to perm her favorite curls, and went out happily.
Meng Yaxin set a spot in the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and invited a few good classmates to have dinner. She had no plan to invite Qu Zhi, but Meng's mother, who paid for the meal, asked her to invite the first place in this grade so that she could study with others more often.
Meng Yaxin wanted to use Qu Zhi's indifferent character. She might not necessarily come when she invited others. I didn't expect Qu Zhi to be very talkative about being invited to dinner. As soon as she invited him, he agreed.
Zheng Baozhu and Qu Zhi live in the same community, and logically they can go there together, but the relationship between the two has always been different, so they both chose to take a taxi by themselves.
Although the walk is separate, but the time of arrival is very consistent.
The two got out of the car at the same time, Qu Zhi glanced at Zheng Baozhu, who had been dressed up today, and walked into the hotel. Although he didn't say a word, Zheng Baozhu had already understood 10,000 words from his eyes.
"Qu Zhi, what did your eyes mean just now?" Zheng Baozhu took the gift prepared for Meng Yaxin and followed, "Why, can't you see the beauty?"
"..." Qu Zhi didn't speak, went straight to the elevator, and pressed the elevator. Zheng Baozhu didn't want to take the same elevator with him, but after seeing the other elevators, he still had to wait for a while, so he went up.
There were only the two of them in the elevator. Zheng Baozhu looked up and down and said, "You won't come empty-handed, will you? Where's your birthday present?"
Qu Zhi said: "In the bag."
Zheng Baozhu glanced at Quzhi's schoolbag. Oh my God, who would come to a female classmate's birthday party with a schoolbag on her back? :)
Shouldn't he be going to make a math paper for everyone to perform later? :)
Thinking of this, Zheng Baozhu looked at him suspiciously: "You didn't prepare a set of papers for her, did you?"
"… You think too much."
"That's good." Zheng Baozhu said here, picked up the small gift box he prepared, and shook it in front of Qu Zhi, "This is the lipstick I prepared for Meng Yaxin, the color is very beautiful."
Qu Zhi glanced at it and said, "Makeup is not allowed in school."
"Then she can use it when she goes to university, anyway, we will graduate soon." Thinking of this, Zheng Baozhu was a little excited. She heard that Qu Zhi was going to study abroad, which was great news.
She is Zheng Baozhu! I can finally get rid of the calamity of Quzhi!
Just thinking of the word "disaster", the elevator shook uncomfortably, and even the lights suddenly went out.
Zheng Baozhu screamed in fright, but luckily the light came back on again, but the elevator was still stuck there. Zheng Baozhu shrank in the corner and looked at Quzhi tremblingly: "What's wrong?"
Qu Zhi was still standing in place, he stepped forward and pressed other floors, and found that there was no response, so he rang the emergency bell: "It should be a malfunction."
"Failure?" Zheng Baozhu's face turned pale when he heard these three words, and images of elevator crashes in various movies and TV dramas suddenly appeared in his mind, "No, then why are you still like nothing?"
Qu Zhi turned to look at her: "What should I do? Scream with you?"
"..." Zheng Baozhu pursed her lips, took out her cell phone, and wanted to call someone, but found that the signal was so poor that she couldn't make a call at all. Zheng Baozhu's mentality collapsed: "Qu Zhi, you really are a disaster, I shouldn't take the same elevator with you!"
"..." Qu Zhi also took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The signal was indeed very weak, and his phone could not be dialed out. "I just rang the emergency bell, and the people in their duty room should have heard it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator suddenly fell for a while, causing Zheng Baozhu to shrink aside and scream, "Ahhhh!"
No matter how calm Rao Shiquzhi was, he was only a 16-year-old boy, and he was a little scared at this time. He glanced at Zheng Baozhu, raised his hand and pressed all the floors of the elevator, then walked up and pulled Zheng Baozhu up from the ground: "Put your back against the wall, and the back of your head, with your legs bent and on your tiptoes."
As he spoke, he adjusted Zheng Baozhu into the correct posture, and then he stood beside her like this. With tears in his eyes, Zheng Baozhu looked at him sideways: "This pose is so ugly."
Qu Zhi: "… "
As expected of Zheng Baozhu, she was still thinking about whether she was ugly or not.
He reached out and turned Zheng Baozhu's head back and pressed against the wall: "Don't look at me, the back of the head is against the wall, this posture can protect the spine. Bending the knees is because the ligaments are the only elastic tissues in the human body. If an elevator Falling, it's better to take the pressure with the ligaments than with the bones."
After Zheng Baozhu heard him, her heart beat faster than before: "So the elevator really will fall down, right?"
"..." Qu Zhi pursed his lips slightly and told her, "Usually the elevator has five to six steel cables, the traction machine has a holding brake, the car also has a speed limiter and a safety gear brake, unless all these things fail, otherwise The elevator won't go down."
Qu Zhi's words comforted Zheng Baozhu's fragile heart a little. She sniffed and said to Qu Zhi, "When will the maintenance team come? It's so tiring to stand like this."
Qu Zhi: "… "
It's a bit exhausting.
"The elevator should not fall again, you can relax, if the elevator falls again... "
"Shut up!" Zheng Baozhu quickly interrupted him, "Please don't crow mouth."
"..." Qu Zhi shut up.
Both of them changed into a relatively relaxed posture and stood in the elevator waiting for someone to rescue them. Halfway through, they also called out, Qu Zhi briefly communicated with the other party, and told them about their approximate floor. The time it took to wait for someone to rescue them seemed extraordinarily long. Although the elevator did not fall again, Zheng Baozhu did not dare to relax his vigilance.
When there was movement outside, Zheng Baozhu patted the elevator door as if he had seen his relatives: "Uncle, we are inside, we are inside!"
After a while, the elevator door was finally pried open, and Zheng Baozhu breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Zheng Baozhu, you go up first, and I'll support you below." Qu Zhi asked Zheng Baozhu to go out first, but Zheng Baozhu was not polite to him, but she climbed halfway and suddenly realized the skirt she was wearing, and quickly turned around to look. Eyes turned straight: "You, you don't peek!"
"..." Qu Zhi said solemnly, "I closed my eyes."
"..." Whether what he said was true or not, Zheng Baozhu believed it anyway.
After Zheng Baozhu went up, the rescuers also pulled Qu Zhi out. The two were trapped in the elevator for more than half an hour. Meng Yaxin, who was on the top floor, had heard the news and was waiting outside. Meng Yaxin's mother also rushed over. If something happened to the two children in the elevator, her responsibility would be great.
"Baozhu, Baozhu, are you alright!" Seeing them coming out, Meng Yaxin hurried over to look at Zheng Baozhu. Zheng Baozhu hugged her tearfully: "It scared me to death, I thought I couldn't get out, wow—"
"It's alright, it's alright, be good!" Meng Yaxin patted Zheng Baozhu's back and comforted her like a child.
"I had a very beautiful curl today, but the curls are gone, wow—"
"It's okay! You're still the prettiest!"
"Really?"
"real!"
"Woooooo." Zheng Baozhu cried a few more times and took the lipstick out of his bag, "This is a lipstick for you, but it fell on the ground when the elevator broke down, and I don't know if it broke. No."
"It's okay, it can be used even if it's broken!" Meng Yaxin said, without forgetting to go up to express condolences to Qu Zhi. This is the first place in their grade. This head has also represented the country in competitions. She can't afford it if it breaks!
"Qu Zhi, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Qu Zhi glanced at Zheng Baozhu, who was crying, "You better comfort Zheng Baozhu."
"...Okay." Is this the Xueba, who was sleepy in the elevator for more than half an hour, but still didn't change his face.
"Remember, what's wrong?" Qu Zhi's voice came from the receiver, pulling Zheng Baozhu out of his memory, "I still remember that you cried even more that day than the day I saw the puppy."
Zheng Baozhu: "…"
The dog Quzhi really couldn't spit out ivory. :)
"Does this have anything to do with the circle of friends you posted?"
Zheng Baozhu said, "I was just trapped in the elevator again."
There was a moment of silence at the other end of those words, and then came the voice of Qu Zhi: "Then are you all right? Where are you now?"
"It's okay, I've come out safely and I'm about to go back to the hotel."
Qu Zhi frowned slightly: "Are you driving by yourself?"
"Um."
"Then you should take it easy for a while, and then drive when you feel calm. Pay attention to safety."
"Um..." Zheng Baozhu listened to the more and more inconsistencies, did Qu Zhi care so much about her? Called and asked her before her mother.
Suddenly she felt a little ashamed, she raised her hand to the tip of her nose, and changed the topic: "What, you are quite busy today, you saw it as soon as I posted on the Moments. You are not fishing, are you? "
"… I was outside in the afternoon."
"Oh..." Zheng Baozhu responded, and another call came in from the phone. She glanced at it, and it was her dear mother who called.
"My mother called, let's do it first."
"Yeah." Qu Zhi reminded her before hanging up the phone, "Be careful while driving, or call a driver if you can't."
"No, no, I'll hang up first." Zheng Baozhu hung up the phone and picked up her mother's phone, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Su Mingxi said on the other end of the phone, "Baozhu, I saw the Moments you posted just now. What's wrong with you? Did you see a mouse or a spider?"
"..." In a sense, her mother knew her well, "I just came out to work, and the elevator encountered some trouble, and it's all right."
"Ah? Why did you encounter an elevator failure again? I still remember that when you were in high school, you also encountered an elevator failure once, which scared you and cried so badly..."
"..." Zheng Baozhu quickly interrupted her, "Mom, I'm fine now, I'm driving, so I won't tell you."
"Oh, then you concentrate on driving, you really didn't get hurt, right?"
"Not really."
"That's fine, I'll hang up."
After Su Mingxi hung up the phone, Zheng Baozhu went to the circle of friends to reply a message uniformly, and drove out of the car.
As soon as she arrived at the hotel, she received a call from Gao Boyun. Zheng Baozhu opened the door, picked up the phone and walked in: "Director Gao, the casting results won't come out so soon, right?"
"Of course not." Gao Boyun said at the other end, "Didn't this see your circle of friends saying that you had an elevator accident? I came here to condolence to you."
"Oh, it's okay, thank Director Gao for your concern."
"It's fine." After Gao Boyun consoled her, he changed the subject again, "By the way, let's talk to you about the role of Ye Ling by the way."
"Okay." Zheng Baozhu put down the car keys, walked to the sofa and sat down, "Is this also part of the interview?"
"It's just a small talk, it doesn't need to be so formal." Gao Boyun asked her, "Because Ye Ling didn't have a lot of scenes, and he didn't end up with the male protagonist, some people said that this character was written by the author to cheat the manuscript fee for the number of words, even if she was deleted. It won't affect the plot, what do you think about it?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "I don't think so. Instead, I think it is necessary and meaningful for the author to create this character."
"Oh, you spread it out."
Zheng Baozhu thought about it and analyzed it with him: "From the performance of the male protagonist during the period of amnesia, his essence is a kind and innocent person, and he also saved the people in the village together with Ye Ling, which shows his character. There is chivalry in him, which also paved the way for him to put down his hatred and choose the righteousness of his family and country, so that this choice would be logical and not abrupt, because the background color of this character is white. And I think the character of Ye Ling is It is symbolic. She symbolizes the pure land in the male protagonist's heart that has not been swallowed up by hatred. It is because of this pure land that he retains his humanity and is not completely reduced to a tool for revenge. Ye Ling changed into a villain, I can't understand at all, such an adaptation has completely deviated from the original intention of the author to create this character."
After Zheng Baozhu finished speaking, he added: "Of course, this is all my own understanding, and I am not saying this to prevent you from deleting this character."
Gao Boyun laughed and said to her, "Don't think too much, we didn't plan to delete this character, that's it, I won't disturb your rest." Gao Boyun hung up the phone and looked at Lin Ziqin who was sitting next to him: " How about it, the actors we selected are not sloppy, right?"
Lin Ziqin nodded slightly and said to him, "She has a very deep understanding of the role, and her appearance is also very good. It's a pity to play such a small role."
Gao Boyun doesn't see it this way: "I think this role is just right. Although it is not the main role, it is an important role. This adaptation of the character design is also more in line with the audience's aesthetics. She uses this role to enter the audience's field of vision. That's right. With her current acting skills, Ye Ling can completely control her. If she were replaced by another main character, she might expose some of her shortcomings."
After listening to him, Lin Ziqin couldn't help laughing: "It can be seen that our little director really likes this actor."
Gao Boyun did not refute, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to Lin Ziqin: "You know great directors, they all like to discover and cultivate actors by themselves, Zheng Baozhu was discovered by me in the film and television city, and I also have this kind of feeling for her, just Like Su Mingmei and my dad, we can achieve each other."
Lin Ziqin said, "Oh, I thought it would be me who made each other with you."
Gao Boyun smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is modest. With your current coffee position, it's me who has climbed high, or Zheng Baozhu just right."
Zheng Baozhu had no idea that Gao Boyun had already regarded her as someone who "achieved each other for each other", and was still making friends there. Qu Zhi has never posted a photo of himself in the circle of friends, so Zheng Baozhu was subconsciously stunned when he swiped his picture in the circle of friends.
What's wrong, did he finally have the awareness that "a handsome guy should post a selfie"
She stopped her fingers and took a closer look. This circle of friends was not posted by Qu Zhi herself, but by the head teacher of her primary school, Teacher Zhang.
Zheng Baozhu was stunned for a moment. The reason why she has Teacher Zhang's WeChat is that when Teacher Zhang came to play at Xingguang Farm, she recognized her. Thinking of this, Zheng Baozhu had to admire Teacher Renmin. After so many years, she didn't recognize Teacher Zhang at once, but Teacher Zhang recognized her at a glance.
After that, they added a circle of friends. Teacher Zhang has not yet retired. The circle of friends is generally the daily life of primary school students in their class. But today, her best student from more than ten years ago has shown her face in her circle of friends.
Teacher Zhang: The students from more than ten years ago came to the school to give lectures to the children today. Are they handsome? [laughing]
