Su Mingmei has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is the youngest in the family, the most beloved in the family. She is also smart and talented in acting. She left home to learn acting at a young age and followed the crew all over the country. At that time, as long as there was her TV program, everyone would watch it in front of the TV, and when she released a CD poster, the family would buy a lot of it.
Later, all these things were put away, and no one wanted to watch TV anymore, and the whole house was shrouded in an invisible haze.
No one mentions the name again, as if this will stop the sadness.
Su Mingxi always thought that Zheng Baozhu's saying that she wanted to be a female star was just a star dream that children love to have. Now that she thinks about it, she stubbornly glued the torn composition together, which may herald today's ending.
"Don't be too angry. It's a big New Year's Eve, and the child finally came back." Dad Zheng sat on the side and persuaded Su Mingxi, "Let's have a good chat with Baozhu tomorrow."
Su Mingxi looked at Zheng Baozhu's poster on the phone: "What's the chat? Do you think she can listen to us?"
Dad Zheng sighed: "The child is old and has his own ideas, what can we do? We can't tie her at home, right?"
Su Mingxi raised his head to look at him: "I think your method is feasible."
Dad Zheng: "..."
At Qu Zhi's house, Zheng Baozhu had finished drinking a can of beer, and reached out to get the second one. Qu Zhi moved the beer aside without letting Zheng Baozhu get it: "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?"
Zheng Baozhu looked at him and raised her eyebrows lightly: "It's not like you don't know how much I drink."
Qu Zhi nodded slightly: "You mean Sailor Moon?"
"..." Zheng Baozhu suddenly recalled some moments when the society died, and he didn't speak as confidently as before. "Is that drinking white wine? Two cans of beer can get you drunk? Then you underestimate me too much."
"Oh." Qu Zhi answered dispensably, but he still didn't take his hand off the beer.
Zheng Baozhu simply stood up and took a drink from a farther distance, and raised his eyebrows at Qu Zhi defiantly.
Qu Zhi: "… "
Is Zheng Baozhu too reassured about the man, or just reassured of him
Zheng Baozhu didn't know the doubts in his heart, he pulled the beer away with a "pop" and took a sip: "By the way, did you delete the last video?"
Qu Zhi looked at her, eyebrows raised slightly, but did not answer.
Zheng Baozhu was about to speak when Qu Zhi's cell phone rang. Qu Zhi glanced at the table, it was a video call from his mother.
"It's my mother." He said, bent down and took the phone, picked it up, "Mom."
"Xiao Zhi, have a good New Year." Qu Zhi's parents squeezed together in a camera, smiling and saying New Year's greetings to him. Qu Zhi nodded and said to them, "You too."
"We're fine, don't worry, you have to take care of yourself by yourself."
"Well, I have experience with this."
Zheng Baozhu on the side: "..."
"What did you eat at night?" Qu Zhi's father didn't hear or pretended not to hear his overtones, and asked him cheerfully, "Have you eaten dumplings?"
"Um."
"Huh?" Qu Zhi's mother noticed something was wrong, "Why are you at home? Didn't you go to your Aunt Su's place?"
"That's right." Qu Zhi's father also found out that Qu Zhi's video background was in his own home. "You went home so early? We also said that we would like to say goodbye to your Aunt Su."
"..." Qu Zhi pondered, thinking about how to tell them. At this time, the sharp-eyed mother Qu found something wrong again: "Is the one sitting next to you Baozhu? Is Baozhu also in our house?"
Hearing Aunt Qu calling him, Zheng Baozhu put his head close: "Uncle Qu, Aunt Qu, Happy New Year."
"It's good for you, the pearl is getting more and more beautiful!"
"Yes yes yes!"
"Where, uncles and aunts are getting younger and younger!"
"Hahaha Baozhu is still so good at talking." Qu's mother laughed a few times, then paused and asked again, "You and Qu Zhi..."
"Oh, we just finished our meal at my house, and we went downstairs for a walk because we ate too much, and then thought of coming up to have a look." Zheng Baozhu was afraid that they might misunderstand something, so he quickly explained half-truths.
"Oh..." Qu Zhi's parents nodded clearly, and then smiled and said to them, "If that's the case, we won't bother you anymore, hang up!"
As soon as the voice fell, the video call was cut off.
Zheng Baozhu: "…"
She stared at the blackened screen for two seconds, then raised her head to look at Qu Zhi: "I feel like your parents have misunderstood something."
"… Um."
"..." Well, it's over
Qu Zhi put away his phone, stood up and said to Zheng Baozhu, "It's getting late. I'll confiscate the rest of the beer. You can rest early after drinking this beer. I'll accompany you to see Aunt Su tomorrow."
"Oh, good." Zheng Baozhu looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and took a sip of beer inexplicably.
Qu Zhi brought the beer to his room, really afraid that Zheng Baozhu would drink it secretly. After a while, he came out with another set of clothes: "This is my mother's pajamas, clean, you can wear this for the time being tonight."
"it is good."
"This is a towel, new." Qu Zhi said, put everything on the sofa, and turned back to the house. Zheng Baozhu looked at the door he closed and smiled casually while holding the beer.
After drinking the beer, she took the things that Qu Zhi gave to wash up. Although this house has two bathrooms, they are independent and not connected with the bedroom. Zheng Baozhu put on his pajamas and came out of the bathroom, and glanced at Qu Zhi's room again. The door to his room was closed, but the light was still on inside, so he probably hadn't slept yet.
Zheng Baozhu felt as if he was waiting for him to wash up first, and then he went to wash up.
She smiled, walked to another room, and closed the door.
Qu Zhi heard the door closing and walked out of the room with a towel and pajamas. Zheng Baozhu was visiting his trophy in Quzhi's room when he heard a slight sound of running water outside.
It's not that loud, but it's especially noticeable on a quiet night. A few years ago, fireworks and firecrackers were not banned in the city. At this time, it was very noisy outside, but now the community is much quieter, and only a few dogs can be heard from time to time.
The sound of rushing water entered Zheng Baozhu's ears like this, and it was not too far away from him, but it was hard to ignore. She stood there listening to the sound of water for a while, and then the sound suddenly stopped. Zheng Baozhu glanced at the door, opened it, and headed out.
Qu Zhi came out of the bathroom and was wiping the water from his hair when he saw Zheng Baozhu sneaking around there.
He stopped for a while, and subconsciously covered his chest with a towel, and met Zheng Baozhu's gaze: "What are you doing?"
Zheng Baozhu blinked and walked out of the room: "It's nothing, I want to drink some water."
She said, and deliberately glanced at Qu Zhi's upper body, which was not properly collared: "What are you covering, it's all too small, be honest."
Qu Zhi: "… "
He felt that Zheng Baozhu might be drinking alcohol again. :)
"I suddenly remembered, didn't you build a gym at home? You said that you need to exercise regularly, and that you are in good shape." Zheng Baozhu looked at him, "But you didn't say that to my mother today. You should You're not lying to me, are you?"
"...You're drinking too much." Qu Zhi stood there, his tone a little stiff.
"That's just beer." Zheng Baozhu didn't take this wine in his eyes at all.
Qu Zhi looked at her: "When you took the wine, I saw it specially. The alcohol content is very high."
"It's so-so." Zheng Baozhu still looked at him, "You're diverting the topic here, did I get it right? Would you dare to let me see if you're in good shape?"
"..." Dare not.
"Didn't you say you want to drink water?" Qu Zhi raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "There is bottled water in the refrigerator, but it's cold. If you want to drink it, you can warm it up first."
"Oh." Zheng Baozhu nodded and walked in the direction he pointed, but when he passed by him, he suddenly slapped his foot.
"Oops." Zheng Baozhu groaned and fell in the direction of Qu Zhi, who subconsciously stretched out his hand to support her. Zheng Baozhu was caught by his landlord, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a large chest and abdominal muscles.
"… "
The room seemed to be quieter than before, Qu Zhi realized something and wanted to let go of Zheng Baozhu, but Zheng Baozhu raised his hand just before he let go, and placed it on Qu Zhi's chest exactly.
It's tough, and it seems that I usually exercise.
Qu Zhi's whole body stiffened for a moment, then he let go of his hand suddenly and took two steps back, as if Zheng Baozhu was some kind of beast.
Zheng Baozhu stood up straight, looked at Qu Zhi's direction and smiled: "You're right, you really feel better than Lin Ziqin when you hold it up."
"..." Qu Zhi was silent for a while, then stared at her and said, "Do you remember Lin Ziqin?"
"Remember, he's still filming with me!" Speaking of filming, Zheng Baozhu recalled the fact that her mother saw the stills today, "It's over, my mother and the others found out about my filming! What to do!"
Qu Zhi: "… "
He felt that Zheng Baozhu really couldn't be allowed to drink in the future. She seemed to be normal after she got up, but no one knew what she would do next.
"Drink your water and go to bed early." Qu Zhi said this quickly, walked around Zheng Baozhu and walked back to the room, locking the door behind him.
... Who would have thought that he would be the one who locked the door in the end? :)
Zheng Baozhu went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, and sure enough, she saw bottled mineral water. She didn't pick up the heat, just opened it and took a sip.
The cold liquid made her feel more comfortable. She closed the refrigerator door and went back to the room with the water.
The next morning, Zheng Baozhu woke up groggy with a dull headache. She rubbed her temples, thinking that she shouldn't choose wine with such a high degree of alcohol yesterday, but she was in a bad mood yesterday.
It's a pity that she has a good alcohol capacity and can't get drunk easily.
She felt a little hot after taking a shower last night, so she went out to get a bottle of water. She glanced sideways, and the water was still on the head of her bed.
But what seems to have happened in the middle
She thought about it and moved her right hand slightly.
Wait, this feeling... She raised her hand, raised her hand in disbelief, staring at her palm.
Did she touch Qu Zhi with this hand yesterday?
… No, it must be a hallucination, she has always had good wine.
Zheng Baozhu persuaded herself like this, and changed back to her clothes and went out to wash. When he opened the door, he noticed that there was some noise from the kitchen. Zheng Baozhu walked over curiously and saw that Qu Zhi was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
She looked at him in surprise: "Can you still cook?"
Hearing her voice, Qu Zhi turned to look at her, his eyes flickering slightly: "Awake?"
"Well." Zheng Baozhu stepped up and looked into the boiling pot, "Are you cooking glutinous rice balls?"
"Well, I only have these quick-frozen foods at home. Let's eat them alive."
"Oh..." Zheng Baozhu looked back, "I just said how can you cook?"
Qu Zhi was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth to defend himself: "When I was in junior high school, I would cook by myself. During the few years I studied abroad, my cooking skills were even better."
Zheng Baozhu was amused by his serious look: "Really? Then when will Chef Qu be able to show off his skills."
After she finished joking, she went to wash and put on makeup, and when she appeared in the living room again, it was the jeweled Zheng Baozhu again.
"Be careful." Qu Zhi sat opposite her and reminded her, "We'll go to Aunt Su after eating."
When it came to going to find Su Mingxi, Zheng Baozhu was still a little empty, but when Qu Zhi saw her frowning slightly, he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm on your side."
This sentence seems to have some magic power, which makes Zheng Baozhu feel a lot at ease.
Yes, she is not alone, she and her friends are all behind her.
After eating the dumplings, Zheng Baozhu took the phone and went back to his home with Qu Zhi. Su Mingxi sat on the sofa early in the morning and waited for them as if he knew they would come. Today, she looked a lot calmer than yesterday, at least she didn't scold Zheng Baozhu as soon as she saw it.
Zheng Baozhu tactically cleared her throat and called her, "Mom."
"Do you still know that I'm your mother?" Su Mingxi looked at her, "Let's not make up these falsehoods, let's get to the point."
She Zheng Baozhu and Qu Zhi sat down on the sofa, looked at Zheng Baozhu and said, "Since the filming of the movie you are afraid of is over, I can't do anything about it, but this is the end of the matter, you can be considered a dream come true. Now, let me do other things with peace of mind in the future."
Zheng Baozhu knew that she was not so good at talking, but she didn't intend to give in today: "Mom, doesn't my dream seem like a joke to you? It's like playing a house? You think that's fine, but I don't think so, I said I want to be a female star, and I've always been serious."
Su Mingxi pursed the corners of her mouth. Of course she knew she was serious, and it was because she knew she was serious that she had to cut off her thoughts so strongly.
"You've already filmed the movie, what do you want? Do you have to watch your grandmother enter the hospital before you're willing to stop?"
Zheng Baozhu frowned and did not speak for a while. In the aunt's suicide, the one who hurt the most was her grandmother. She couldn't make her grandmother think that nothing had happened. But what was wrong with her
Thinking that she could only hide her dreams in her heart since she was a child and didn't dare to tell anyone, Zheng Baozhu would also feel wronged: "Mom, I know you can't forget about my aunt, but why use my aunt's story? What about punishing me? I know it may be selfish for me to say this, but in my third year of high school, I gave up my ideals once because of you, can you make concessions for me now?”
Su Mingxi heard her say this, and her eyes were a little red. In the third year of high school, the night when Zheng Baozhu gave up the art and physical education exam, she knew that she was crying in the room.
She heard it all.
She knew that it was unfair to Baozhu, but Mingmei's matter was a thorn in their hearts. For so many years, everyone was careful not to touch them, so that they could continue to live.
She choked up, looked at Zheng Baozhu and said, "Baozhu, we don't want you to act, not only because of the fear of mentioning Mingmei, but also because of the fear that you will be the same as Mingmei... In your grandfather's words, those who act are lunatics. When you are acting, you cannot tell what is reality and what is in play."
"I admit that it is true that good actors can't make plays, but not everyone will do extreme things." Zheng Baozhu looked back at her mother, "The first lesson my teacher gave me was to make plays. ."
Su Mingxi's eyebrows moved: "What, you still found a teacher for yourself? It seems that you really want to show your skills in the showbiz?"
"..." Zheng Baozhu's tears were held back again, "Why don't you have a teacher?"
"...Okay, I've said what I should say anyway. I definitely don't agree with you if you want to continue acting. Before this matter gets to your grandmother, I have to settle it." She said, then got up and moved. The chair, blocking the door, sat on the chair with him: "Before you think about it, I have been sitting here, and no one should think about this door."
Zheng Baozhu: "…"
Qu Zhi: "… "
Just when several people were deadlocked, Zheng Baozhu's phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it, it was Gao Boyun who called her.
She glanced at Su Mingxi, who was at the door like a doorman, and went into the room to pick up the phone: "Director Gao, what's the matter?"
"Baozhu, happy new year!" Gao Boyun greeted her with a beaming New Year's greetings over there, "Did you see the makeup photo posted by the official blog yesterday? Everyone's comments on you are very good, by the way, how can you even I don’t have any Weibo, so quickly open an actor Weibo.”
"..." Zheng Baozhu took a deep breath and roared at Gao Boyun who was on the other end of the phone, "You are ashamed to say, why didn't you notify me in advance when you sent your makeup photos! You also released my photos, My family saw it! Now my mother won't let me out!"
Gao Boyun was confused by her series of outputs: "Wait a minute, why won't your mother let you go out?"
"What do you think? You also know that my aunt is Su Mingmei, right? What my aunt means is that she is my mother's sister, my own sister! The most taboo thing for them is the entertainment industry, especially female stars who act!"
Gao Boyun: "… "
"What do you say now!" Yizhen
"..." Gao Boyun scratched his head, very troubled, "Ah, I didn't expect it, and my dad didn't mention it to me. I also said that I wanted you to make a scene after the festival, but you can't come now. already?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "My mother is sitting at the door just like Guan Gong, and she is about to take a big knife."
"..." Gao Boyun thought for a while and said to her, "Then you give your home address, and I will do ideological work for Auntie in person?"
