The next day, everyone got up very early, it was the end of the year, and everyone was eager to return home.
Zhou Jianchen originally wanted to go with Liang Yin, but last night the director of photography dragged him and said that he would take his car back today, so he had no choice but to watch Liang Yin get into his own car.
Instead, they made an appointment to go together all the way, Azhao drove ahead, and Oda followed behind. Oda drove steadily, and Ah Zhao only drove slowly.
When they arrived at the service area, they stopped once, but Liang Yin didn't come down. When Zhou Jianchen came back, he handed her a bottle of hot drink and two rice dumplings - she hadn't had much breakfast since she got up early.
Zhou Jianchen really wanted to go in and sit down, but seeing the director of photography came back, he had no choice but to rub her head and walk away.
It was still early at this time, and there was no one in the service area, and the sunglasses and masks were all in place, so he was not recognized.
He couldn't chat with Liang Yin along the way, the director of photography was a chatterbox, he kept catching him talking, and didn't even give him a chance to send a message.
Very tired.
After a long journey, we finally arrived in the capital at twelve noon.
Looking at the familiar city, the director of photography stretched, "Finally back."
Zhou Jianchen looked at the time and said, "Let's have a meal together first." After speaking, he dialed Liang Yin's number.
Liang Yin will go back straight away. He still has to deliver the photography director, and he has to go to the company after delivery. If he doesn't eat, he has to say goodbye directly.
He is reluctant.
There is also an annual meeting in the company at night.
Liang Yin didn't refuse when she heard the call, and she also wanted to meet him again.
The director of photography was a little surprised. He glanced back at her car and asked, "Hey, Yinyin is always behind." He knew that they were going together, but later he didn't care at all.
Zhou Jianchen didn't bother to answer him.
"Is she also in the capital?" The director of photography asked again.
"Um."
"What a coincidence, where does she live?" the director of photography asked again.
Zhou Jianchen took a deep breath, his patience was almost exhausted, "Dongcheng District."
Fortunately, the director of photography didn't ask any more questions, just turned around with an "oh". As for why Zhou Jianchen knew that she lived in Dongcheng District, there was no doubt at all.
The place to eat is a Cantonese restaurant, which is also opened by an acquaintance. There was no incident during the meeting, but Zhou Jianchen's interest has not been high. The two were not sitting together, and the director of photography was talking during the whole process.
During the period, the director of photography asked, "Yinyin, are you also staying in the capital for the New Year?"
Liang Yin replied, "Yes."
When it was time to leave after eating, they left one after another. The director of photography walked in the front, Zhou Jianchen walked in the back, and when Liang Yin was about to go out, she was pulled back. When she turned her head, she was pulled into her arms again.
"We're about to separate." He said softly, with infinite melancholy.
Oda saw it from the side, and walked out with his head down.
Liang Yin listened, and just comforted him, "I'll see you soon."
See you soon, just a few days away.
Walking to the parking lot, they parted ways again. When Zhou Jianchen got into the car, he turned his head and glanced at Liang Yin, unable to say a thousand words, Liang Yin also looked at him, just smiled lightly.
Waiting for the car to leave, that is, each going in its own direction.
…
For the next two days, both of them were busy by themselves. After Zhou Jianchen attended the annual meeting, he had to participate in various decision-making matters of the company. He was the major shareholder, and there was always a lot to sign at the end of the year. In the evening, there are various banquets to be dealt with.
Liang Yin is also busy, busy packing things, busy buying things, and the Chinese New Year is coming, so she always wants to give herself some new atmosphere. Ruona also came the next day, and took her to buy clothes, do hair, eat, drink and play together. Liang Yin knew what she was thinking, she was afraid that she would be too lonely.
Her home is not in the capital.
Ruona was naturally also curious about her and Zhou Jianchen, Liang Yin did not hide anything, and told everything.
There were also photos of the two of them walking together, which naturally became popular again. A movie queen and a movie queen seem to be completely out of touch, but they are really close friends in the boudoir.
In the photo, the two are sitting in a cafe, Liang Yin is holding a mobile phone, and Ruo Na is leaning against her to watch together, the sun is shining on them, they are so warm and loving.
—“I ran into two goddesses in a cafe”, said the passer-by who took the photo.
Liang Yin didn't care about such exposure for a long time. After following her consent, Ruona only sent a "happy" emoji in response.
It's an announcement of their friendship.
In addition, Liang Yin finally met Tong Xiaohua.
Tong Xiaohua, a screenwriter and director of the new generation, won a lot of awards for "Compassion", and is also a loyal fan of Liang Yin. A script in his hand, the protagonist is written according to her. I heard that she kept asking Ruona to contact her after she came back, but after learning that Liang Yin took over the filming of Chen Huaen's movie, she became even more urgent, and kept urging Ruona to arrange a meeting.
Liang Yin had no time before, but now that he was free, he agreed to his request. In fact, she also admires this young director who is less than 30 years old. She has seen his movies, and aside from technical issues, the whole story is thick and full of connotations.
She hadn't thought about making a comeback before. It was an elder's invitation to take over the filming of "Winter", and she didn't have any plans for the future. But now that she is with Zhou Jianchen, it seems that it is not impossible to continue filming. accepted thing. After all, she really loves movies too.
Tong Xiaohua was very excited when he saw her. He is talented, but still has the most simple and stubborn temper. Now that his wish has come true, he almost burst into tears. He repeatedly begged Liang Yin to act in his movie, as long as she was willing, he could agree to anything.
He is also a person who regards movies as his life. When he first filmed "Compassion for Life", he lost his family and property. Later, "Compassion for Life" won the award. Once he became famous, countless people wanted to cooperate with him, but he just refused. What he wants is something very pure, and he doesn't want to be tainted by money. It's like if he can't find the ideal actress, he would rather keep it in his hands than shoot.
Liang Yin did not immediately agree, the script was a good script, a rare good script, but she still needed to think about it.
…
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ruo Na will finally leave. She will eventually go back to her hometown for the New Year, and she stayed for these two days only to accompany her.
When they left, they asked Liang Yin to go back with her, but Liang Yin didn't agree.
In the afternoon, Oda also left. She originally wanted to leave tomorrow, but Liang Yin was afraid that she would be stuck in traffic, so she just asked her to go back as soon as possible. When I left, I booked a plane ticket for her, and I didn't forget to seal a big red envelope. Xiaotian's salary is still going from Zhong Jianian's account, but she has her own mind.
She also thought that if Oda wanted to stay, she would have to transfer her relationship from Zhong Jianian.
As soon as the two left, the whole house fell silent again. The smell of the New Year on the street is getting stronger and stronger, everyone is returning home, but she has no home.
Looking out the window, Liang Yin took a deep breath, and the smile that had been on her for the past two days finally faded away.
Another message from Zhou Jianchen came from the phone, "What are you doing?"
She looked at it, and just replied, "I just packed it."
I dare not say too much.
They have been in touch with each other by mobile phone these few days. Zhou Jianchen often reported her itinerary and talked about various things to her. She would also tell him what she did, eating, shopping, and pretending that she was busy.
…
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Jianchen finished everything, gave A Xian and A Zhao a vacation, and went home by himself.
The car drove into Zhou's house, and Zhou's mother came out with a feather duster, "Achen is back." Consciously or unintentionally, she glanced into the car again. Seeing that there was only one unlucky son inside, he curled his lips, a little unhappy.
When Zhou Jianchen got out of the car, he quickly put on a smile again, "Are you tired, have you eaten?"
In his sixties, he looks very young, smiling, rich and kind, just like jewels, which is incompatible with the feather duster in his hand.
He is a very lively person, seeing that the servants are cleaning for the New Year, and they can't be idle, so they get involved.
Zhou Jianchen threw the key to the welcoming servant, looked at his old lady and was a little speechless, "Called me 800 times early in the morning, dare I not come back."
"Not tired, just eat." After throwing a sentence, he walked into the door again.
I was invited to dinner again last night, and it was very late. I was falling asleep this morning, and the phone kept ringing. I saw that my old lady.
"Aren't I afraid that you won't come back today?" Zhou's mother hurriedly followed up, "You said that you have been back for so many days, and you won't come back to live. It's almost New Year's Eve."
"Brother didn't come back, why didn't you ask him?" Zhou Jianchen found a sofa and sat down, then took out his mobile phone to look.
I just sent a text message to Liang Yin, but I haven't replied yet.
"Didn't I love you?" Mother Zhou smiled and sat down beside him, but her eyes were also aimed at his mobile phone.
"Thank you." Zhou Jianchen saw her movement, put away the phone, and took a sip of the water brought by the servant.
Zhou's mother said cautiously again: "Achen, I heard that you have a girlfriend?"
"Cough—" Zhou Jianchen almost choked.
"Is it Liang Yin?" Mother Zhou smiled secretly again.
Zhou Jianchen put down the cup, "Who told you?"
"Rong Xin told me." Zhou's mother said, "Don't act like you don't admit it." When Rong Xin came back a few days ago, she told her about Zhou Jianchen's finding a girlfriend, and told her not to worry.
Zhou Jianchen was speechless, tolerant of this eighth woman.
"When will you bring me back to see..." Mother Zhou said again.
"Just wait." Zhou Jianchen didn't want to quarrel with his old lady anymore, stood up and walked upstairs, "I'm going to sleep, don't bother me."
He wanted to bring him back, but...
Back upstairs and into her room, Liang Yin's text message also came back: Ah, I was shopping, I didn't see it just now.
- I'm home, what are you doing. He asked just now.
Looking at her text message, Zhou Jianchen felt so empty in his heart. One day, two days, three days, four days, I haven't seen her for four days, she seems to be busy every day, but what can she be busy with.
- I miss you.
He said again.
— Be good, see you soon.
She just replied like this.
The time passed by little by little, and soon it was half past five in the evening. The whole afternoon was spent in one-on-one conversations, and Liang Yin's reply was not timely.
The kitchen had already started preparing dinner, and there was another car horn in the courtyard. It was his elder brother Zhou Zuokang who had returned.
"Achen, come down and prepare to eat!" After a while, Mother Zhou came and knocked on the door again, "Your elder brother is back!"
Zhou Jianchen frowned, and finally turned off the phone and stood up.
The food is gradually on the table, and the kitchen is busy. Every time they come back, the old lady has to prepare a large table of dishes, not to mention that it is a festival now.
Zhou Jianchen still couldn't be happy, sat down on the sofa, and looked at his phone again.
After making a phone call just now, Liang Yin said he was going to take a shower, but after half an hour, he still didn't reply to her message.
"Hey, you're back?" Zhou Zuokang came over after changing his clothes, and jokingly said when he saw his brother sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
He came back more often than Zhou Jianchen, that is, he was busy these few days and lived outside.
Zhou Jianchen didn't bother to talk to him.
This was intentionally embarrassing him.
Seeing his sullen look, Zhou Zuokang asked with a smile while buttoning his cuffs, "Why, didn't you bring your girlfriend back with you?"
Hearing what he said, Zhou Jianchen's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Zhou Zuokang still laughed happily, without any fear.
"You'd better take care of yourself." After a while, Zhou Jianchen glanced at him and replied coldly. The matter between himself and Rong Xin has not been settled yet, how can he have the face to talk about him.
With that said, he picked up the clothes beside him and turned around.
"Hey, Chen, where are you going? We need to eat!" Mother Zhou shouted again when she saw it behind her.
"Don't eat!" Zhou Jianchen dropped a sentence, only took the car keys and walked out the door.
…
Along the way, Zhou Jianchen drove fast, and in the night, his expression was a little dark and inexplicable.
He really wanted to take Liang Yin home, but he was afraid that Liang Yin would not want to. He is also thin-skinned, and the two brothers never deal with each other, and they don't want their eldest brother to see how much he cares about others.
But if you don't deal with it now, don't deal with it, just watch the jokes, he can't control anything.
What can she be busy with for the new year alone. Forget about the first two days, and now everyone is gone.
It's just, I just don't want him to find her!
He hasn't said anything these two days, but his heart is clear.
…
Jiayuan is less than an hour's journey away from Zhou's house. I have been here once, and I am familiar with it.
Drive all the way into the underground parking lot, and then take the elevator all the way up to the thirty-seventh floor.
When I walked to the door, I remembered that I hadn't asked, so I called again.
The phone was connected quickly, "Are you at home?"
"Ah, yes." Liang Yin's doubtful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then open the door." Zhou Jianchen said, and reached out to ring the doorbell.
…
Liang Yin was cleaning the cups and putting them away one by one, when she heard the voice on the phone, she hurried over to open the door. Then I saw Zhou Jianchen standing at the door with a mobile phone in his hand.
"Do you want to go home with me to celebrate the New Year?" He put down his phone, looked at her, and asked with deep eyes.
"Ah?" Liang Yin was full of surprise.
"If you don't want to go back with me to celebrate the New Year, I will stay here to accompany you to celebrate the New Year." After Zhou Jianchen finished speaking, he was silent for two seconds. Seeing that she was silent, he walked in with the bag in his hand.
Liang Yin hadn't had time to recover, so she hurriedly followed, but just in time to turn around, she heard the door behind her slam shut, and a figure pushed her down, her face was held, and her mouth was kissed again.
"You don't want me to find you so much, huh?" He kissed her, full of emotion.
