Cao Ye looked at the projection screen. After watching the video, he could hardly breathe normally, so much so that he felt a little stuffy in his chest. He took a deep breath and exhaled again.
He thought about many possibilities about the marriage between Li You and Cao Xiuyuan. For example, this marriage started with Cao Xiuyuan's deception. For example, Li You's mistakes led to this marriage and his birth. His own birth was full of disgust, so much so that for a long time he dreaded the arrival of his birthday.
But now Liang Sizhe made this documentary to tell him that Li You and Cao Xiuyuan had a brief but passionate love, and he was the union of their love.
Cao Ye didn't know when he started crying. Probably from the phrase "Li You said that he would make him the happiest child in the world", he could no longer control his tears.
He thought of many scenes before Li You became seriously ill - Li You insisted on returning to China despite the hospital's dissuasion, met Cao Xiuyuan without telling him, was photographed by the media with emotional breakdown, and the phrase "regret giving birth to Xiao Ye", it turned out that his mother Everything he did before his death was because of him, but he misunderstood her for so long because of the few words he overheard.
Li You doesn't regret giving birth to him, but now he himself is filled with regret and self-blame.
Cao Ye leaned down, resting his forehead on his knee, trying to hide his embarrassment.
But the tears kept pouring out. He thought of the eyes that Li You looked at him before he died. There seemed to be thousands of words and countless worries in them, but Li You had no strength to speak at that time—she wanted to say what? Is it not to lose hope in love, or to live a good life alone in the future
Liang Sizhe paused the video with the remote control, raised his hand and rubbed Cao Ye's hair twice, then dropped his palm and patted Cao Ye's shoulder a few times. He accompanied Cao Ye to release his emotions and let him cry.
When Cao Ye was sad, he always curled up his body. Liang Sizhe thought of the elevator monitor he had watched many times. Cao Ye, who was huddled in the corner of the elevator, buried his head in the same way and curled up in the corner. He felt like his heart was being squeezed by a hand, squeezing out the sour juice.
"Your mother loves you very much," Liang Sizhe leaned down, looked at Cao Ye and whispered, "She doesn't regret giving birth to you."
Cao Ye buried his head and moved the back of his head, nodding.
He cried for a while, but his mood gradually calmed down. Liang Sizhe went to the bathroom and twisted a hot towel. He half-squatted in front of him, with one knee on the carpet, and said warmly: "Okay Cao Ye, you can cry as you like in front of me. You don't need to hide from me."
"I didn't cry." Cao Ye justified himself with a crying voice.
When Liang Sizhe heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, that's me crying. I'm already crying, why don't you raise your head to comfort me?"
Cao Ye wiped tears on his sleeves, raised his head and looked at Liang Sizhe with red eyes.
Liang Sizhe took a hot towel and gently wiped the tears on his face, while wiping it, he whispered to him: "Don't you think the short-lived love that burned in those seven days is beautiful? Cao Ye, your birth began with a beautiful encounter. , During the whole process of your birth, your mother was in a state of passionate love, and you came in an atmosphere surrounded by love, that's why your mother gave birth to such a beautiful and attractive child as you."
Liang Sizhe said this, Cao Ye's tears that had stopped flowing down again, he didn't know what was wrong with him, as if there was a problem with the lacrimal glands.
"Why are you so good, Liang Sizhe." Cao Ye said with a weeping voice.
The towel was a little cold, and Liang Sizhe put it aside: "Is there any?"
"Yes." Cao Ye said.
He cried like a child, his eyes were red, and his nose was red from crying. Liang Sizhe held Cao Ye's face, looked at him, kissed his salty lips wet with tears, and said softly. : "Because I love you, and I love you as much as your mother."
Cao Ye cried and said, "I love you too."
Liang Sizhe was stunned for a moment, then asked after a while, "Really?"
Cao Ye eased his emotions and raised his hand to wipe away the tears: "Why do you seem to be unconvinced?"
Liang Sizhe smiled: "I believe it, then you can say it again."
"I love you too."
"What about removing the word 'also'?"
"I love you."
"You're so cute," Liang Sizhe raised his hand and rubbed Cao Ye's hair again, "Also, how can your existence be meaningless? For your mother, you are the baby she is willing to give everything to, for me , I love you, and it has nothing to do with who your father is. For your friends, they like to be friends with you, just because you are cute, not because your father is Cao Xiuyuan..."
Cao Ye interrupted him: "No one has ever said I'm cute, they probably think I'm good-looking and interesting."
Liang Sizhe was amused by him: "No one ever said you were cute? What are their eyes..."
Cao Ye said with a nasal voice: "Actually, I also think that the word cute is a bit inconsistent with me."
"How could that be?" Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "I think this word is very cute, and it's just right for you. I haven't finished, your family, lovers, and friends all love you because you are Cao Ye. As for Those who have nothing to do with you, you don't care what they say, don't you?"
Cao Ye nodded: "You are right."
"There is still a short video, do you want to continue watching?"
"Yes, what's next?"
"I went to interview the assistant director who worked with your father in the same crew."
Hearing this, Cao Ye fell silent. That is to say, Li You's friend told the front, and Cao Xiuyuan's friend followed. To be honest, he didn't really want to read about Cao Xiuyuan.
Seeing his hesitation, Liang Sizhe said, "It's just a description of your dad's state at the time, Cao Ye, I hope you can stand a little further away and look at your dad, but if you don't want to, we won't."
"Look," Cao Ye said, "you've already taken it, you can't let it go in vain."
"Okay." Liang Sizhe smiled.
He picked up the remote and pressed it, and the video continued to play.
"Of course Xiu Yuan is happy. He received the photo of his son and invited the crew to dinner."
"How could he marry her if he doesn't love Li You? He is such a rambunctious bastard. He has so many lovers behind him, and they all get married without seeing him. Does he only marry Li You, does that mean the problem?"
"Before the film festival, Xiu Yuan should have never been in a relationship. Li You was his first love... What, was it unexpected? Hahaha... He has had many lovers in the back, but he did not have one before."
"Yes, he really didn't pay much attention to his son later, sigh, to be honest, people's energy is limited, you know? Si Zhe, you have also worked with Director Cao on several films, you can see his shooting state, even his own You can't even take care of eating and sleeping, so how can you take care of your son? So why are some masters and famous directors, but only he is recognized as a genius, because even if ordinary people think about it, they can't reach his kind. Dive into the state of a movie…”
"There must be gains and losses. His achievements in film are unmatched by others, but if he wants me to become Xiu Yuan, I really dare not agree."
Compared with Li You's friend's delicate and emotional description, the assistant director's description is rough and brief.
After reading it, Cao Ye didn't speak for a while. He didn't know what to say, things had passed for a long time, and the truth had been revealed. He no longer hated Cao Xiuyuan, but if Liang Sizhe wanted him to reconcile with Cao Xiuyuan, he wasn't sure if he could do it.
Liang Sizhe seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "I didn't shoot this video to make you reconcile with your father, but to make you reconcile with yourself."
Cao Ye turned his head to look at him: "Huh?"
"Your father's light is really dazzling. If you ask me how to avoid it completely, I can't answer you. But Cao Ye, you also have your own light, otherwise how could you attract such outstanding people as Du Zhui and Zeng Ran? Director, a good partner like Cheng Duan, and a good boyfriend like me, right?"
Cao Ye's cheeks rested on his knees, and he looked sideways at Liang Sizhe: "You're right."
Liang Sizhe smiled and continued: "You founded Lomon, and you also built Uto. In the future, there may be directors as good as your father in Utori..."
Cao Ye didn't remember taking Liang Sizhe to Utuo, he asked, "When did you go to Utuo?"
"The time someone was carrying drugs in 'Burning', Huang Ying took me there."
"Oh..." Cao Ye thought for a while and said, "It's all my own designs."
"I know, Huang Ying told me," he seemed to be asking for praise, and Liang Sizhe smiled at him and said, "Cao Ye, why are you so amazing."
"All of Lomon's designs are also my ideas." Cao Ye was praised and made persistent efforts to take credit.
"Well," Liang Sizhe nodded and said, seeing that he didn't underestimate himself this time, "If I have such a powerful son, I promise to spoil him to the sky. Otherwise, Cao Ye, don't recognize Teacher Cao as your father... "
Cao Ye was a little surprised that he would say this. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Sizhe answered, "You can call me dad instead?"
Cao Ye immediately exploded: "Go away!"
