The clothes hanging on the balcony were all put away, the sink in the bathroom was clean, and the things for washing the face and removing makeup were put into the cosmetic bag. A huge suitcase was quietly lying at the end of the bed, next to it was a round cat bag. It was so easy to leave after staying in the place for more than 20 days, but within an hour, there was no trace of it.
Jian Wei sat by the bed, silently lost in thought.
It's 7:00 p.m. and the car to pick her up is still an hour away. Jian Wei returned to the hotel after talking with the director in the afternoon, and started to pack her luggage. She has a good living habit and puts things regularly, so the process is very fast. But at some point, this is not an advantage. People are less likely to think wildly when they have something in their hands.
Jian Wei lay down on the bed bored, took the phone and checked the time again, just in time a WeChat message popped up on the top of the screen: "Wow, this dish, you must take a picture and post it on Moments, otherwise it will be for nothing!"
It's the crew's WeChat group, it's dinner time, Jian Wei clicked in and saw several photos. King crab, big lobster, a whole steamed sea bass, the person who posted the picture is the big cameraman of the film crew, the photo was taken really well, and the aroma seemed to be smelled through the screen, Jian Wei, who hadn't eaten dinner, couldn't help covering it Stomach.
The crowd below echoed, "Oh, since Brother Li gave the picture, I'm not going to be polite, so I'll send it to hurt my friend who eats dirt!"
"I'll post it too, I'll post it too! Just waiting to steal your photo!"
"It's been a long time since I've had meat. I'm grateful to Mr. Jiang for his great kindness. I won't gain weight anymore. I'm going to post on Weibo to praise the male god! Fans will be so jealous of me!"
Jian Wei's eyes stopped on the word "Teacher Jiang" and did not move.
Tonight happened to be Jiang Yi's treat.
As early as the day when he returned to the crew, Jiang Yi said that he would invite everyone to dinner, but unfortunately he never made time. Jian Wei was looking forward to this meal, but who knew it would come, but it was the day she left.
She couldn't help but swipe up. Among all the lively news, no one asked why she didn't go.
Jian Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the phone aside casually, feeling that she was really thinking too much. It's normal for no one to ask. Judging from everyone's attitude today, they just want to use her as a prop. If you see it and say hello, if you don't see it, you will never take the initiative to mention it.
Besides, none of them knew she was leaving.
Probably because he wanted to deal with this matter with the least amount of noise, Director Ye never told the crew that she would leave today. Jian Wei felt that he probably planned to wait until tomorrow when he needed to use Yuangulu, so he said calmly, oh, we are not going to shoot the cat scene, let's change it to something else.
Jian Wei doesn't blame him, it's business, he has his stand. It's just that, seeing everyone having such a happy dinner together, it was so lively that she couldn't help but think about another question.
So, Jiang Yi doesn't know either.
Didn't know she was leaving.
Jian Wei lay there on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling. The phone kept vibrating, and someone posted a photo in the WeChat group again, but this time it was not food.
In the gorgeously decorated restaurant, Jiang Yi sat there lazily. He should have drunk the wine, his cheeks were slightly red, and with a few strands of messy hair on his forehead, he looked more and more lazy and unruly.
The corners of the man's lips were raised. Although he was smiling, his dark eyes showed strange emotions. Like he doesn't really like this kind of occasion, or maybe, he has something on his mind.
Looking at the photo, Jian Wei suddenly remembered that day when Jiang Yi invited her to dinner alone. He was sitting across the dining table like this, the difference was that the smile in his eyes was so real at that time, full of himself.
She turned over and sat up suddenly, and walked straight out. When she unscrewed the door, she used a lot of strength, almost a little aggressive!
Why do you want to hurt the spring and the autumn here? Even if you want to leave, you have to say goodbye! Otherwise, how can they be worthy of their revolutionary friendship these days!
The place where Jiang Yi treats guests is at the restaurant on the 17th floor of the hotel. Jian Wei took the elevator and looked outside the door for a while.
Although there were not so many people, Jiang Yi still reserved the entire hall to avoid being disturbed by outsiders. Everyone sat at seven or eight tables, drinking and drinking, and the noise could be heard from a long distance away. Jian Weiyi walked in step by step, and soon came into everyone's field of vision.
The coordinator saw her first, "Gu Ma, you, you are here..."
The coordinator knew that Jian Wei was going to leave early, because she was in charge of arranging the daily shooting plan, so the director didn't hide it from her, and only she knew about the entire crew. The two had already said goodbye on the phone in the afternoon, so the coordinator was a little surprised to see Jian Wei appearing here.
The rest of the people also looked over, and their expressions changed slightly.
Jian Wei pretended not to see anything, and said with a smile: "Yes, you guys are so lively in the group, it's really a seduction!"
The coordinator thought for a while, then walked over and put his arms around her shoulders, "It's fine if you're here, let's sit down and have something to eat. We'll talk about big things after dinner!"
She asked Jian Wei to sit next to her, and everyone came back to their senses, continuing to eat and drink as if nothing had happened. The coordinator whispered in her ear: "Teacher Jiang is the host tonight, how about it, is it your first time to eat a big meal invited by the male god?"
Jian Wei smiled reservedly. I'm sorry, I've already eaten a big meal invited by the male god, and the two of them still have dinner alone.
Jian Wei glanced around, and it was easy to see Jiang Yi. His table was at the back. Neither Zhou Peipei nor Lin Zequn came to tonight's dinner, but Director Ye Rong showed up to show respect. Jiang Yi sat with him, next to the screenwriter and other actors. Although they are in the same hall, the atmosphere at this table is obviously different. Everyone pays attention to the other side, and when there is a sound, the crowd subconsciously quiets down, so as not to miss their speech.
At this moment, a man passed by from another table and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, I'm here to toast. I wonder if I have the honor to have a drink with the new husband of thousands of girls?"
He probably wanted to compliment Jiang Yi, but he probably drank too much and the words were a little too intimate. Jiang Yi leaned on the back of the chair and tilted his head to look at him for a few seconds without moving. The people next to him suddenly became nervous, Mr. Jiang, don't be angry, right? He really didn't talk much tonight, maybe he was in a normal mood...
Even the toasters became uneasy, Jiang Yi smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass, and half warned, half jokingly said: "Next time you dare to tease me like this, let alone drink, you won't even be allowed to eat."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and clinked glasses with him, "Understood, I understand. Brother Yi really gave me face!"
Jian Wei took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message, "I'm outside and I have something important to say, can you come out?"
Then, she stared at Jiang Yi, and found that he was holding the wine glass in one hand, but with the other hand he took something out of his pocket, looked down, and then put it back as if nothing had happened.
Jian Wei greeted the coordinator, left the hall alone, and walked all the way to the end of the corridor. There is a European-style circular balcony here, with marble railings and vines twining, flowers blooming at the four corners, and an iron swing chair on the right, like a small paradise.
Jian Wei sat down on the swing, swayed, and after a full ten minutes, there was still no one.
She looked down the corridor, a little confused. Bad, am I too confident, what if Jiang Yi doesn't come out? Does this kind of dinner count as working time? Maybe, he doesn't have the time to take care of himself now...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a figure walking towards him. A white T-shirt and light blue jeans, such a simple match, looked ridiculous on him.
Jiang Yi stood by the balcony door, watching her quietly.
Jane Weiyi held the iron chain of the swing in her hand, and smiled, "Why is it so long?"
Jiang Yi paused, and walked to the balcony first, the cold wind blowing his face, Jian Wei could smell the faint smell of alcohol on his body, "You said outside, it's so big outside, remember to be more specific next time."
It turned out to be like this.
Jian Wei imagined him poking around in the corridor, looking for himself, and couldn't help but smile deeper, "You can't find it, won't you ask me? Why are you so stupid."
He glanced at her and raised his eyebrows, as if surprised at her boldness. But Jian Wei is not afraid of him at all right now, she got off the swing, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving now."
Her tone was brisk, "Director Ye said, there is no need to shoot the rest of Yuangulu's scenes, so I can go home today. Thank you for your care during this time, I hope to see you again in the future, or the next fan meeting , you give me tickets after opening? I promise I will never resell them at a high price!"
She said while thinking, try to be happy, and don't make Jiang Yi feel sad for herself. There is always a banquet in the world, since the director let her go, of course it is better to go, there is no need to add more details.
But as she spoke, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Jiang Yi has been looking at himself very quietly, but he didn't even show any unexpected emotion when he heard such news.
Jian Wei blinked, "Your expression... you already know?"
Jiang Yi paused, walked to the balcony, put one hand on the railing, and said, "Well, I was there when Director Ye made the decision."
Jian Wei stared at his back in a daze, unable to react.
After a while, she said: "You know? Then why didn't you say that you went to dinner with them..."
Jiang Yi turned to look at her, "Didn't you plan to tell me at first? I thought you wanted to leave quietly."
She really thought so, so she went back to the hotel directly in the afternoon, but...
"But I'm here! I want to say goodbye to you, so I'm here..."
She still couldn't control the sadness in her voice.
She endured it all day. She thought that she could be strong and would not complain in front of him, but at this second, all the accumulated emotions flooded into her heart. One thought filled her mind, if she hadn't changed her mind, would he just let her leave like this, without even having the chance to say goodbye in person
And she doesn't even know when the next time we meet...
The girl raised her head and stared at herself intently, her expression was so aggrieved, as if he had made some heinous mistake.
Looking at her like this, Jiang Yi no longer carefully concealed his emotions, but she who clearly expressed her dissatisfaction was touched somewhere in her heart. For a long time, there was a silent sigh.
He held up his hands, as if in surrender, and said with a smile, "I was wrong."
Jane Wei didn't speak.
He repeated: "I was wrong. I shouldn't pretend I don't know, I should have taken the initiative to find you. Don't be angry, okay?"
He told her not to be angry, and Jian Wei became even more angry. Without saying a word, she sat back on the swing and turned her head to look at the lights of the city in the distance. Jiang Yi looked at her for a few seconds, as if a little helpless, Jian Wei caught a glimpse of him walking towards the balcony door with his hands in his pockets, as if planning to leave.
When Jian Weixin mentioned it, she almost wanted to shout "Stop", but he turned around and came around again, standing directly opposite her, leaning against the railing casually, just looking at her like this.
Jian Wei: "..."
The night wind blew on her cheeks, bringing a burst of coolness, and it also calmed Jane down a little bit.
Jiang Yi stood there with a smile in his eyes, showing connivance, as if everything she did was reasonable. Jian Wei suddenly forgot what she was angry with, only felt that his eyes were too attractive, her cheeks were flushed, and she avoided his sight in a panic.
She began to feel annoyed that she was too impulsive just now. But he apologized to her, still in that tone, he actually coaxed her like this!
She blinked, suddenly a little confused.
She has liked him all these years, and she has never asked for anything in return. However, since when did she have more and more demands? Since when did she get angry with him
Jian Wei felt in a daze that something was different. But what is this thing, she can't grasp it. she does not know.
"Since you are leaving, let me pay back what I owe you." Jiang Yi said suddenly.
Jian Wei was still immersed in her thoughts, startled, "What?"
Jiang Yi's eyes were gentle, ""Stars", remember? I said, I want to sing it to you face to face."
That night, the promise he made to her on wechat, Jane only once planned how to make him fulfill it.
It turned out that he still remembered.
Jiang Yi came over, squatted halfway in front of her, and looked straight at her. Because of this angle and what will happen next, Jian Wei is subconsciously nervous, and hides back.
He noticed it and smiled softly, "This song is dedicated to the beautiful Miss Jian Wei, thank you for the surprise you brought me this summer."
After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and sang like this.
When Jiang Yi was 18 years old, he took part in the singing competition, and everything went smoothly in the early stage, but after entering the top ten in the country, he fell into a bottleneck. He hovered on the edge of elimination for several consecutive games until he sang "Stars".
This song is Jiang Yi's own lyrics and composition. With this song, he not only proved his singing skills, but also showed his creative talent. Jian Wei remembers that teacher Xia Zhifang, who was a judge at the time, commented that although the lyrics of "Stars" were mediocre, the music was quite amazing, and praised Jiang Yi's potential to develop into a singer-songwriter.
In that PK, he won the first place without any suspense.
"...When I was young, I even said forever so lightly.
do you remember
The sky full of stars sent to you is our best ever. "
In the cool summer night, his voice was deep and melodious, like a cello, and like a distant dream. Countless past events came one after another, that was the best youth for each other.
Seven years ago, when she was 13 years old, she stood outside the gymnasium. The boy on the big screen seemed to be the most dazzling light, instantly illuminating her whole world.
Seven years later, she was sitting on the 17th floor, in front of her was a city full of lights that were brighter than stars, and the swing frame was rickety, while he squatted halfway in front of her, staring at her, singing her love at first sight for him line by line. that song.
The sky full of stars sent to you is our best ever.
There were no stars tonight, but when she looked into his eyes, she seemed to see the sky full of stars.
Jian Wei sat there in a daze. The night is a gentle embrace, and everything in the world is quiet. Only her heart beat faster and clearer.
boom. boom. boom.
Every blow shook her chest, making her fingertips numb.
Something is wrong.
Jian Wei subconsciously clenched her fists, thinking hard, she seemed to have something very wrong...
After Jiang Yi sang, seeing that Jian Wei didn't respond, he didn't care, he raised his hand to stroke her hair, "I won't see you off, be careful on the way, and send me a message when you get home."
After a pause, he finally stretched out his arms and hugged her. The man's breath blew in the ear, and the voice was soft, and finally said the farewell.
"Xiao Wei, goodbye."
