In Southeast Asia, which is far away from mainland China, a beautiful island stands quietly in the blue waters. The French colony continues to this day. The collision of history and modern civilization has created a unique cultural landscape here.
Yuan Youning has been here for a week. Since he went to the island, his mobile phone has been thrown on the table in the hotel, and it has been turned off. Looking crazy.
He was slovenly, and soon his beard was unshaven, and he lost the appearance of a youth idol. He wore the traditional clothes of the locals every day, pulling a pair of clogs and sandals, wandering aimlessly in the streets of the island.
Anything on the island may attract his attention. He often crouches on the ground, chatting with the hawkers on the market, learning their dialect, and laughing heartlessly.
However, whenever it was quiet at night, when he lay in the hotel with his eyes wide open, all the disguise during the day were automatically removed, and he returned to his true self, filled with emptiness and helplessness, and the thoughts of Jinglan swept away like a flood. Come on, keep him up at night.
The more he escapes, the more he misses, and the love that he cannot face has turned into his pain. In the face of this inexplicable torture, he wants to resist and has expectations. He seemed to be forcing the woman to appear in an extreme way, but this time he wasn't sure.
On this day, Yuan Youning was greeted by several black youths to the flea market to dance in the street dance. As a professional dancer, he was very itchy. Accompanied by music, he quickly integrated into it, with a tall figure and a handsome Chinese face. Soon it will shine.
He found a sense of belonging in dance and music, and danced ecstatically. However, there were so many tourists that it was inevitable that he would be recognized. Hearing a Chinese calling his Chinese name, Yuan Youning woke up from a dream, and then changed his dance steps and hid behind the black youth. , quietly left.
At the moment of turning around, I don't know if he was dazzled or had an illusion. Why did the figure that flashed by in the crowd looked so much like Jinglan
You Ning regretted hurriedly escaping, and wanted to turn back the same way, but it happened to encounter a heavy rainstorm.
The rain was pouring out in an instant. Yuan Youning was soaked all over, so he had to hide under the eaves of the duty-free shop in a hurry. He hurriedly cleaned up the rain on his body. He inadvertently looked through the window and saw the traditional jewelry displayed on the counter. One was inlaid with crystals. Mushroom's cheap ring made his heart beat.
A couple suddenly blocked his sight, Yuan Youning rushed in like crazy, took out all the cash on his body and slapped it on the counter, pointing at the ring, "This, I want it!"
When the rain stopped, it was already evening, the sky was getting dark soon, the moon was rising, and the tropical island was sultry. Yuan Youning stuffed the velvet box with the mushroom ring into his trousers pocket and looked around, thirsty.
Going all the way along the silver-white coastline, he soon came to a cozy bar town. Yuan Youning casually found a bar with various wine glasses on the walls and entered. He stood in front of the bar and pointed to the flowery wall. He said to the bartender in pure French, "I want red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, have a cup of each, and make a rainbow for me!"
The burly and dark bartender frowned, looked him up and down, expressionless, and the boss reluctantly gave him a cup of tune up.
Yuan Youning drank very slowly, but this "Rainbow" had a lot of stamina. After a while, he became a little dizzy. He didn't pay attention, and knocked his head on the table. After that, he didn't want to get up. After falling asleep, perhaps subconsciously, he hoped that someone would come and take him away, so he murmured Jinglan's name unconsciously in his mouth, but unfortunately he would not believe it.
I don't know how long it took before he slowly opened his eyes. There was a hustle and bustle in front of him. There was a lot of people in the bar, but no one came for him. Yuan Youning chuckled, looking forward to the turning point. How ridiculous it is.
It was getting late, he staggered and moved off the seat, intending to settle the bill and go back to the hotel to rest. When he touched his pocket, he only took out a few coins. Damn, he just bought the ring and put all the cash in it.
You Ning embarrassedly put the coin on the bar and grinned, "Can you owe it first?"
The bartender gave him a disdainful look and didn't respond.
Yuan Youning has never been so embarrassed since he became a star. He scratched his head irritably and discussed with him, "Can you let me go back to the hotel first? I'll take the money and send it to you."
The bartender rolled his eyes at him, still refusing.
Yuan Youning looked up to the sky and sighed hopelessly. It was really a tiger who fell and Pingyang was bullied by a dog. He was not reconciled, and he shouted out of the wine, "Hey! You really don't know me?"
The bartender was busy mixing drinks, and he shook his head resolutely without even looking at him.
Yuan Youning was speechless, put his hands on the bar, and then put on a face that was about to die, "Brother! Can you not be so out? After all, this is also Southeast Asia, so how can I say that I am also a little popular here? When you came to do the promotion last year, your fellow brothers and sisters crowded the door of the hotel to see me! Even if you don't care about me, can't you give me some love?"
"NO." The bartender simply and rudely rejected him
Yuan Youning doesn't believe it anymore, he can't do anything about this guy? "Okay! Take it! Take this as collateral! I'll go back and get the money!" He took off the watch from his wrist and slapped it on the bar.
Unexpectedly, the bartender replied to him even more inhumanly: "NO!".
"Hey! Are you mistaken! This watch of mine is worth 160,000 RMB, isn't it worth your bottles of broken wine?" Yuan Youning was about to be mad at this dumb or treacherous bartender. .
"How much, I'll pay." Suddenly, a slender figure squeezed beside her, this voice made Yuan Youning's heart tremble, he immediately turned around and saw Yuchi Jinglan.
It's been a long time, but Jinglan still has her iconic short mushroom hair, and her delicate face still has a calm expression without wind or rain. She takes care of him as usual, as if the two have never been separated.
When she paid the bill, Yuan Youning's eyes were already full of clutter, she moved her mouth, and before she could say anything, she was pulled into her arms by Youning, and he held her tightly, Jinglan felt There was a tingling pain in the shoulder, frowning and bowing, and found that Yuan Youning was biting her hard, and his low whimper could be heard vaguely in his ears.
"You Ning." Jing Lan hugged him, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Yuan Youning finally let go, turned her head and rubbed the tip of her nose sideways, "I miss you."
Jinglan burst into tears in an instant, holding him for a long time, unwilling to let go.
Unknown local songs were playing in the bar, the music was as low as running water, and the colorful streamers fell on the two of them, quiet and distant.
Jinglan slowly let go of him, You Ning grabbed her hand and refused to let go, Jinglan lowered her head and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'm not leaving."
You Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and after unloading his burden, he was completely a child who had not grown up in front of Jinglan. He missed her so much, and when he saw her again, he would never let her go again.
"Let's have a drink, I'll invite you." Jing Lan suddenly became interested and jumped on the bar seat.
Of course Yuan Youning accompanied her, and ordered the "Rainbow" set again. Jinglan smiled again, "You are really luxurious."
You Ning also smiled, "How do you know I'm here?" After asking, she felt like she was superfluous. She is Miss Tangtang Yuchi, but she is looking for someone, she always has her own way.
Jinglan didn't answer, she just picked up the glass and drank slowly. From the perspective of You Ning, the way she was drinking was fascinating. Looking at it, some distant images appeared in his head.
"Jinglan, let me tell you a story about Yan Yu." His voice was low, with a nostalgic atmosphere.
"Let's hear it." Jinglan put down the wine glass, resting her chin in one hand, and looked at him with blurred eyes.
You Ning smiled and said in a succinct manner, "Speaking of it, it was a long time ago. At that time, I was studying in Italy, shooting scenes and making micro-movies. One day I caught up with a local festival. I was very excited that day. Dressed in the same clothes as hundreds of thousands of people, running in the crowd." At this point, his eyes lit up, "You know what? It was at that time that I found out that there was a girl who had been taking pictures of me, she was super beautiful. , It can really be described as shocking, until now I have never seen a woman more beautiful than her, I was stunned at the time."
"You remember her because she's so beautiful?" Jinglan asked.
"Of course, when I was young and energetic, I couldn't hold back when I saw such a beautiful girl, I just wanted to get to know her."
"And then what?"
"Later, when she saw that I had found her and wanted to leave in embarrassment, I asked her, why did she secretly take pictures of me? She said that she just took pictures by accident. I laughed at her, stop teasing, you ran after me a few times. Street, aren't you tired? She actually said she was not tired, and I burst out laughing at that time."
"What's next?"
"Then? Of course, I invited her to drink with me. But she is very strange. She wants to see me only if I have a tattoo. It's the one at my ankle." Yuan Youning reached out and stroked Jinglan's waist, "You are here. I have the same one. Last time I asked you, you said you got the tattoo yourself after you were with me. In fact, I should confess to you that this thing is a sign of my youth and frivolity. If you like, we can re-tattoo the same."
Jinglan seemed to avoid this question and asked directly, "Then you two have a drink together?"
"Well, I did as she said, and she will naturally keep her promise."
"Why did you tell me about this?" Jinglan leaned closer to him and pouted her pink lips, looking a little jealous.
Yuan Youning smiled lightly, "I don't know why, but when I looked at you just now, those long-standing things came up. Maybe... Maybe I'm old." He told a joke.
"Then do you remember her name?"
"Um... Ai... Alicia. She is Chinese and only told me her foreign name."
