Jingxiu looked sideways at Ji Youyan, his eyes were obscure, and he hesitated.
Disappointment is not without it. But Buddhism pays attention to causality, and Daokong would say such things, she is not surprised. Although she was looking forward to finding the cause of Daokong's constant pain, but if this is something that cannot be forced, she also does not expect Ji Youyan to find Daokong.
You can't force it, there is a price to force it, she knows it better than anyone else. Now that Ji Youyan is peacefully by her side, it is better than anything. This was her original request. The Buddha satisfied her. If she had to take something away from her, she would do it willingly.
However, she also knew what Ji Yuyan was unhappy about these days. If she doesn't go this time, she's afraid she'll be stuck and won't be able to pass her own test.
Jingxiu turned on the direction signal, turned a corner at the entrance of the alley where he could temporarily stop, and stopped.
"Is Master still in Bhutan?" Jingxiu asked with a calm expression.
Ji Youyan looked gloomy, shook his head and said, "I don't know. The master seems to avoid it intentionally, and Zhuo Rin's friend can't force him to keep him. Before I can notify someone to continue tracking, he has left silently."
Missing this time made Ji Youyan stunned. If it weren't for the movie's inability to walk away, she would have wanted to put her wings on and fly over.
Jingxiu thought thoughtfully: "Then is there any news over there now?"
Ji Youyan said in a low voice: "No. But according to the itinerary he disclosed at the scripture debate before, he should visit temples of all sizes in Bhutan and Nepal in the past six months." She picked up a little confidence and said with certainty: "With this direction, be patient, you can definitely find him."
Jingxiu was too rational, "Then how long are you going to follow along?"
Ji Yuyan's nails sank into the palm of his hand. She bit her lip and looked at Jingxiu, but did not answer immediately.
Jingxiu's long eyelashes drooped down, and said realistically, "Yanyan, finding a needle in a haystack is not something that can be done with sincerity and hard work. Sometimes, it is a chance."
And chance is the most incomprehensible thing. Ji Yuyan couldn't afford to delay his time.
She raised her eyes and stared at Ji Youyan, made a decision in her heart, and discussed with Ji Youyan: "You said that he will be in Bhutan and Nepal for half a year. When our movie is finished, there are about three or four months left in this half year. Yan Yan , we will set this time, three months, you will go to him, find the best, it's okay if you can't find it, come back, let's live in peace and wait for the next opportunity, okay?"
Seeing Ji Youyan hesitate, she wrapped Ji Youyan's hand in her palm and coaxed her, "It's just a little pain, it's alright."
Where is just a little pain? Her pretending to be relaxed made Ji Yuyan's chest hurt. She held Jingxiu's hand instead, not saying that.
Jingxiu's voice became softer: "Besides, I actually thought about it, maybe we were too anxious. When the year is almost up, we can go to the place where I found him in the last life and find him."
They said so, but they all knew in their hearts: Rebirth brings the butterfly effect, and who can be sure that Daokong's footprint will still be the footprint of the past.
Ji Youyan was afraid that there would be more variables in these two years. She was afraid that Jingxiu would not be able to wait for these two years, and that Jingxiu would endure the pain and danger of the last time again.
But Jingxiu sighed and said, "Yanyan, isn't it the most important thing to leave no regrets? Instead of wasting time on separation and searching, we should cherish our time and be together, right?"
This sigh hit Ji Youyan's heart, making her nose sore. She knew that what Jingxiu said was right.
She just, just can't be reconciled.
She lowered her head, her jet-black hair covering her astringent eyes. She lifted Jingxiu's catkin and fondled it under her lips. "I promise you, three months."
As if comforting Jingxiu, and as if comforting herself, she whispered, "I will definitely find him."
Jingxiu's eyes showed softness, and she stroked Ji Youyan's fine hair, echoing her: "Well, it will definitely happen."
But if it's a price for a price, then forget it. She prayed secretly in her heart.
The atmosphere was a little dull, but Jingxiu deliberately relaxed. She seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in a low voice, "If that's the case, you won't be back for Christmas, are you?"
Ji Youyan was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Jingxiu's slightly wrinkled face, and tasted the loss hidden in her eyes, and there was a bit of sweet and sour taste in her heart.
She cheered up and teased Jingxiu: "Maybe it's not just Christmas, I can't accompany you on birthdays, and even New Year's Eve."
Jingxiu raised his eyebrows unhappily, and said in a cool tone, "Why do I think you seem so proud?"
Ji Youyan sensed the danger, and hurriedly denied it: "Illusion!" She raised Jingxiu's hand and kissed it several times, with sincerity and tenderness: "When I come back, I will supply you everything. Axiu, you I'll give you anything you want."
Jingxiu was delighted by her, biting his lower lip, he couldn't hold back his overflowing smile. She turned her face away and looked out the window. At the end of the road, on both sides of the T-junction, there was an endless stream of cars coming and going.
There are really many people in this world, and when you turn around, you can meet countless people.
But, "I just want you."
She couldn't help expressing herself.
The sun shines on her through the leaves, her profile is sharp and deep, but her expression is so soft. Ji Youyan was not bathed in the light, but his whole body was warm.
She opened her mouth to respond with some emotional words, but Jingxiu seemed to have recovered, feeling a little embarrassed. Her ears blushed, she started the car, and changed the subject: "Jiang Chun and I are going to join forces with Xinhu Technology next year to invest in two online dramas as the producer. Jiang Chun sent me a few books. You have more TV series here. Experience, can you help me refer to it tonight?"
Ji Youyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay." After speaking, she teased her again, "Is there any reward for the gang?"
Jingxiu sneered, and answered her deliberately in confusion, "Give you two bottles of eye drops?"
Ji Youyan: "…"
The corners of Jingxiu's lips raised a little arc, and he pondered: "If you happen to see the role that you want to leave to your newcomer, let me know."
Ji Youyan's studio also signed people, but mainly Wei Yi has a wide network. Ji Youyan has become famous in the TV series. There are many external resources that can be divided, which is a different direction from her studio.
Ji Youyan was stunned for a while, and he was not polite, but only teased: "They are so lucky."
"Um?"
Ji Youyan said slyly: "Sign me, there is such a generous boss lady."
Jingxiu glanced at her angrily and let out a nice laughing sound.
The atmosphere was relaxed, Jingxiu hesitated a little, but still took the opportunity to ask: "The drama has been a little depressed recently, and I just came back. I want to make an appointment with a familiar consultant tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
She said it naturally, but the whitish fingertips on the steering wheel still showed her nervousness.
Ji Youyan's heart softened, and he was no longer stubborn, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you. I also feel that I need to chat recently." The tone was light, without any reluctance.
Jingxiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Youyan with a little surprise. Ji Youyan's eyes twitched, and she looked at it generously.
If vulnerability can be understood, there is no shame in showing weakness. Jingxiu made her uneasy nakedness turned into a kind of reassuring happiness.
Many words do not need to be stated outright, tacit understanding.
An undisguised smile crept up the corner of Jingxiu's lips.
In mid-October, the sunflowers in the night were finished in Yingzhou. Jingxiu and Ji Youyan spent three days in Yingzhou to relax after finishing their work. In order to avoid extracurricular troubles, the two left at the airport directly. Jingxiu returns to Beicheng to deal with work, and Ji Youyan returns to Yanzhou to visit his parents.
Two days later, Ji Youyan set off from Yanzhou and flew to Bhutan via Nepal.
This is a very personal itinerary, but some media dig it out. Ji Youyan had been in retreat for a long time for the movie, and when all the media were eagerly waiting, she actually retreated again. She went to the Buddhist country of Bhutan, and it has been more than two months.
This is very intriguing.
The media people who are moved by the wind and some Huadans who have conflicts of interest due to Ji Youyan's rise in status over the past year have fished in troubled waters. The most prudent guess is that Ji Youyan suffered a huge blow during the filming, seeing through the red dust, and borrowing Buddha to heal. This speculation deliberately did not say what kind of blow it was, and it was spread through the trail, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became, and the more filthy it became.
Jingxiu sneered angrily, and resolutely cleaned up the people behind him. The Lin family is not as good as before, but Jingxiu, Jiang Chun and Wei Yizhen have been deeply involved in the circle for many years, and they also have their own connections and channels. If some news cannot be suppressed or withdrawn, then use other news to divert the focus and distract everyone's attention. She acts more cautiously than before, but she is not afraid of offending people.
The people behind saw that Jingxiu was protecting Ji Youyan and acted ruthlessly, and they dared not continue to bite Ji Youyan. Jingxiu asked Jiang Chun and Wei Yizhen to guide public opinion. The reason why Ji Youyan was stamped was because the movie had too much stamina and Ji Youyan was too devoted, so he needed time to play. He went to Bhutan to relax and seek a peaceful state.
After this statement appeared, fans spontaneously supported it, Ji Youyan's dedicated personality was consolidated, and the audience became more and more curious about "Sunflowers in the Night". The movie became popular before it was released, which saved a lot of publicity costs. Gu Lingfeng was most happy.
There are wind and rain outside, but it has little effect on the two. Except for the news that Daokong appears from time to time, people always leave with excitement and return when they are disappointed, everything is fine.
In Beicheng, Jingxiu studied film post-production with Gu Lingfeng while entertaining various matters in the studio. Ji Youyan searched for people in Bhutan and Nepal, and changed to an environment far away from the hustle and bustle, and her heart gradually calmed down. She had new inspiration and new insights about the album, about acting, and even about the script Jingxiu showed her.
The two keep in touch every day. Sometimes they get excited and talk until the phone is out of battery. It's like returning to the time when they first debuted. Both of them are full of sincerity and are fighting for the career they love and for a better future together.
Although separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the heart seems to be sleeping peacefully in each other's arms every day.
Until one evening in January, a phone call from Yanzhou broke the calm day.
Zhong Qingyu said helplessly: "Miss Jing, I'm Yanyan's mother. Can you contact Yanyan? Yanyan's father said that his heart was uncomfortable, his hands and lips were shaking, and I immediately drove him to see him. When he went to the hospital, he passed out as soon as he entered the emergency room. The doctor said it was a sudden myocardial infarction, and the heart stent operation that was recommended before could not be delayed any longer. I wanted to discuss with Yanyan, but I couldn't get in touch with her. She Where are you now?"
Jingxiu's heart thumped, his hands and feet went cold.
