Nowadays, the relationship between Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining has become semi-public. Although they have not released a relationship announcement, they have recently shown off their affection in various photos taken by passers-by.
After eating, shopping, and even Director Cen's closing party, Sheng Jiaoyang got out of the car and was photographed entering the country with the man in the car window. Anyone who has been following her recently will know that that man is her boyfriend who has been trending towards conjoined twins lately.
There were already many people in the banquet hall, everyone was wearing formal clothes, and their glasses were flowing.
When Sheng Jiaoyang came in, he attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Our heroine has arrived, everyone is here now." Cen Jin clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes fell on the person standing next to Cen Jin. There was surprise in her eyes.
"Brother Lin Yan, why are you here?" Sheng Jiaoyang approached.
Lin Yan smiled at her, with such a dazzling smile that the female staff member pouring wine next to him was confused. The glass of wine was so full that it almost overflowed.
"Miss you," he said.
Sheng Jiaoyang's heart was touched, but only for a moment. It was more of an embarrassment.
"Ouyang is a very important second male lead in our movie. How could he miss such an important closing party!" Cen Jin said.
Gu Zhou walked over from the side.
"Everyone is here, let's open the champagne and take a photo first."
Gu Zhou's suggestion was very pertinent. It would be best to take group photos while everyone is there, but he is afraid that some people will leave midway and it will not be easy to find everyone by then.
Cen Jin directed the staff to get busy, gathered everyone on the crew together, and then said a message to wish the movie a smooth release and if the box office is not too bad, he opened the champagne, and the wine overflowed layer by layer from the top glass. Looking down from the floor, the color of the champagne tower is magnificent and dazzling under the lights of the banquet hall.
Then everyone took a photo behind the champagne tower, and then dispersed, standing in twos and threes chatting together.
"Cen Jin, you are very bold in selecting actors. The heroine and the second male lead are both new faces on the big screen. This Xu Jiaojiao has been in the news a lot, and she has only acted in one youth TV series..."
"Teacher, Xu Jiaojiao is not a new face anymore. She has also appeared in a movie directed by Steve. Although she has little filming experience, her acting skills are not inferior to those of actors with professional backgrounds. She is a A spiritual actor." Cen Jin's attitude towards his teacher is very respectful, but now that he has just made his mark in the directing world, he is confident in facing his teacher who is an established director.
"Where did you hire your ridiculously handsome second male lead? Why doesn't he look like someone from the entertainment industry?"
"He is indeed not from the entertainment industry. He is just a friend of Xu Jiaojiao. And then, wasn't there someone who let me down before? He happened to come to visit Xu Jiaojiao, so he helped me catch a young man." Cen Jin said with a smile. .
"A person outside the circle? You are also fooling around. Can he act?"
"It's just right to play true to form." As for the story between the second male lead and the female lead, he didn't care. The filming process of this movie was really full of twists and turns, and now it is finally completed.
"You can cut a scene with the heroine later and show it to me. I happen to be preparing a New Year's movie for next spring, and I'm looking for someone with acting skills and a supermodel figure."
"Teacher, just look for Xu Jiaojiao. She is a supermodel in her own right, and now she is an actress. She fully meets your requirements." Because he almost changed the heroine last time, Cen Jin still felt a little guilty. , so I knew the teacher wanted to select someone, so I quickly recommended him.
"Well, I'll send her an interview notice if she's suitable."
"An interview is still needed? Teacher, can you find someone more suitable than her? An actor may not necessarily have the body of a supermodel, and a supermodel may not necessarily be an actor."
The old director looked at Cen Jin suspiciously, "Why are you so active in recommending actors to me today?"
"No, I'm telling the truth." Cen Jin laughed and quickly changed the subject, asking the teacher about the concept and content of the next movie.
At this time, Sheng Jiaoyang was facing Lin Yan alone.
"I don't know why, but I always had a bad premonition before coming here this time." Lin Yan looked at her deeply.
Your hunch is coming true. Sheng Jiaoyang said silently in his heart.
"Brother Lin Yan, I..."
Before she could say anything, Lin Yan stopped her. He raised his index finger and lightly touched her lips. He quickly pulled it back as if she was electrocuted, but this was enough to interrupt her words.
"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have told that person your identity." Lin Yan's eyes darkened, and the smile on his face had dissipated, leaving only the melancholy that made people feel heartbroken.
As the saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes, he didn't expect that he would be held back by those things, and he also underestimated that person's feelings for Jiaojiao, giving that person time to take advantage of it. He had such a good initial hand, but he was beaten to the point of losing everything.
"Brother Lin Yan, even if you don't tell him, one day I will tell him in person. Nothing in this world is inseparable from the word fate. We can't be together if we are destined but not separated. We can only leave if we have both. Let's get together." She found that facing Lin Yan at this moment, she was calmer than ever before.
She really stepped out of Lin Yan's shadow.
Lin Yan looked at her and closed his eyes, feeling very disturbed. This was so unwilling, but he could only watch her getting farther and farther away from him like watching quicksand flowing away between his fingers.
"Brother Lin Yan," Sheng Jiaoyang smiled with relief, "We are all adults. We have to deal with impossible things rationally. I don't want to be sloppy. From now on... we can't meet without meeting."
Lin Yan's expression was shaken, and his heart suddenly contracted. He asked in a tight voice, "Can't we even be friends?"
"As early as when I returned to China, I had already made the judgment that since something is impossible, it should be completely cut off. Moreover," Sheng Jiaoyang paused, with a smile on his face, "He You don’t want me to meet you.”
She looked at Lin Yan and added: "Now I care about his feelings."
Lin Yan looked at her quietly, the expression on his face became calm. Only his fingers holding the foot of the cup could reflect his mood at the moment. The knuckles were so hard that veins were about to burst.
"I'm sorry." Sheng Jiaoyang said softly.
Lin Yan smiled bitterly, "It's not you who should say sorry, but me."
Yes, he should always be the one to say sorry. If he hadn't hesitated or worried too much, he and she wouldn't be like this now, even if they were standing face to face, they seemed to be half a century apart.
"Brother Lin Yan, I wish you can find your happiness as soon as possible." Sheng Jiaoyang said sincerely.
Her mood is also very complicated, but she is no longer entangled. If it is broken, it will be broken. If the lotus root is broken, both sides will suffer.
Of course, she was able to make such a choice because another person lived in her heart, and she had the courage to confess to Lin Yan that she would never see each other again. If it were her before, even though she knew they couldn't be together, she still wanted to remain friends. She thought that even if they weren't together, it would be good to know what the other person was doing. She thought so because she didn't let go in her heart.
But now, she can calmly say "never meet again".
"Take me to the airport later, as a final farewell." Lin Yan said softly.
Sheng Jiaoyang hesitated for a moment, and finally said cruelly: "I'm sorry, my guy will be jealous."
The corners of Lin Yan's mouth moved, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Then I won't force you."
Sheng Jiaoyang lowered her eyes, thinking that she was lying if she said she had no feelings. After all, the person in front of her was the person she had liked for so many years. But she has no regrets. After all, she has worked hard before, and now that she has found someone who truly makes her feel at ease, she has nothing to regret.
Goodbye, Lin Yan.
When Lin Yan left, Sheng Jiaoyang just looked at his back and silently said goodbye in his heart.
Then she added in her heart that it was better not to see each other again. The best ending would be for each other to live their own lives under their own sky.
There was something lingering in my heart, as if I was feeling lost, but also seemed to be relieved.
"Hey, Ouyang just left?" Cen Jin stopped when passing by Sheng Jiaoyang.
"He has a lot of things to do." Sheng Jiaoyang could only say this.
"Oh, Ouyang is gone. Don't stand here in a daze. I'll take you to meet my teacher. He is preparing a new movie and there is a role in it that is particularly suitable for you." Cen Jin asked her to follow him.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't want to think about Lin Yan anymore, and she quickly followed Cen Jin's footsteps.
By the time the final banquet was over, Sheng Jiaoyang had already met Cen Jin's teacher and left a good impression.
After getting in the car, she relaxed the moment she saw Shen Zhining.
"I... met Lin Yan." Leaning on Shen Zhining, Sheng Jiaoyang thought for a while and decided to talk about it.
Hearing that she saw Lin Yan again, Shen Zhining's eyes dimmed. He couldn't help but care. After all, Lin Yan was the person she had liked for several years.
"I made it clear to him, and I also told him not to meet each other again in the future, because," Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at Shen Zhining, "I care more about your feelings now."
Shen Zhining was slightly startled, and then an uncontrollable smile emanated from between his eyebrows and the corners of his raised mouth.
He raised his hand to hold her face, and couldn't help but kiss her, but today he just touched his lips, as if he were treating a treasure, unwilling to use more force.
"Have you been drinking?" He smelled the faint smell of alcohol on her breath.
"Drink a little, I have control." Sheng Jiaoyang didn't dare to be too presumptuous before her aunt left.
Shen Zhining pressed his forehead against hers, their eyes facing each other, so close that their eyelashes were almost touching.
"Two more days," he said.
Sheng Jiaoyang blinked, "I remember it."
His birthday was only two days away. (To be continued)
