Liang Sizhe stood up and paused, looking up at the screen.
In Lan Yan's shabby room, the afternoon sun shines all over the room. Ten years ago, Liang Sizhe appeared in the camera. He had just washed his face, the hair on his forehead was soaked with water, and there were drops of water on his face.
His reaction to the camera was unnatural, he turned his face away, and his eyes deliberately avoided the camera: "What are you doing with the camera?"
"Don't you want to audition later, get used to the camera in advance... Don't turn your face away and say something."
They chatted for a while, then Liang Sizhe leaned over and took the camera from Cao Ye's hand.
The camera is aimed at Cao Ye. There are also drops of water on Cao Ye's face. The young man's hair has been tanned into a fluffy and soft chestnut color by the sun. With a smile on his face, he looks lively and agile. Then he got closer, with one eye facing the camera: "Hey, am I on camera?"
He was laughing when he spoke, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and his amber-like eyes glowed with moist light.
The one-hour video recorded their moments on Yinsi Street.
Liang Sizhe didn't even know that Cao Ye took so many scenes at that time - Caesar, Xiaobai, the fruit shop across the street, the Lao Du noodle restaurant, and the Xiaoke video room on the street were all captured by him.
Other than that, it's all Liang Sizhe.
Liang Sizhe, who came out of the bathroom in the morning, had water drops on his face and his hair was not tied.
Sitting on the opposite bed, Liang Sizhe was biting on the black hair rope and pulling his hair together.
Liang Sizhe, who opened the door and came in with breakfast in his hand.
Liang Sizhe, who bent his legs and leaned on the pillow, looked down at the script.
Liang Sizhe fiddled with the acoustic guitar with his fingers jerky.
Liang Sizhe, who squatted down to feed Xiaobai ham sausage.
Yin Si, who has been with the two of them, only has Liang Sizhe in the camera, and as for Cao Ye, it has always been a voiceover outside the camera:
"Morning, Liang Sizhe, you woke up earlier than me again..."
"Do you want to correct the lines today? I'll be Peng Yan... Why can't I be Peng Yan?!"
"Xiao Bai's belly has grown a little bigger. Hey, do you think the baby born will look like Xiao Bai or Caesar?"
"Are you still afraid of the camera now?... Don't be afraid, the person you want to take the camera to shoot you is me."
At the end of the video, Cao Ye finally appeared in the camera. He was sitting on the sofa facing the camera, and his bent legs looked very long.
Liang Sizhe recognized at a glance that it was not the Cao Ye of the Yin Si period. The Cao Ye on the screen still looked like a teenager, but he was wearing a school uniform and looked obviously grown up.
He faced the camera with a serious face, and waved: "Morning, Liang Sizhe. It's a morning in March, and I heard from Uncle Yin that more than half of your movie has been shot, so slow... When will I see it? The movie you acted in? Uncle Yin said that you acted very well and had a lot of talent..." He said this, as if he was stuck, he was silent for two or three seconds in front of the camera, he raised his two hands in his hair and scratched After a few moments, it became Cao Ye of Yin Si Shi again, "Ah, I forgot the words!!... Forget it, the original words are awkward to memorize... I'll just say where I think of them."
"What am I going to say... Happy 19th birthday, Liang Sizhe, I have made a few new friends since I came back from Yinsi, but they are not as good as you, I miss you so much, brother Sizhe... Or else, you Come and accompany me to university after the performance of "Thirteen Days", you should study in the Department of Acting... Well, do you want to continue acting? You can... Anyway, I think you will definitely win the best actor. On the day of the awards ceremony, I will take my All of my friends have called, will I go and cheer for you? Also, can I go to your celebration party after the awards ceremony? Surely I can? Calculate?"
"Hey what I'm talking about... Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet." The video was recorded here, Cao Ye's hair was messed up by himself. Brother Si Zhe, I wish you good morning, good afternoon and good night."
The picture on the screen turned black, and the title "Yin Si" jumped out.
Cao Ye was sitting next to him, and at first he had been observing Liang Sizhe's expression. Liang Sizhe's eyes were always on the screen, he looked focused, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down occasionally. Cao Ye knew that meant his emotions were fluctuating. Liang Sizhe was accustomed to hiding his emotions, but Cao Ye could still detect his emotional fluctuations exposed to the smallest details from his trembling eyelashes, the rolling Adam's apple and the blue blood vessels on the back of his hands.
Later, when Cao Ye faced the camera alone and said that long series of words, Cao Ye was embarrassed to observe Liang Sizhe. He felt that he was really stupid at that time, and he was foolish in his words and deeds.
He propped his forehead with his hands and didn't look at the screen or Liang Sizhe, but he could still hear Liang Sizhe laughing beside him, sometimes in a soft voice, sometimes in a very low nasal voice. When Cao Ye started to speak incoherently, Liang Sizhe laughed. out.
After the video was over, Cao Ye's embarrassment had not yet eased. He held his forehead and paused for a while.
He could feel Liang Sizhe turn his face sideways, his eyes fell on his face, his eyes were as focused as he was looking at the screen just now.
"Isn't that stupid?" Cao Ye put down his hand, "I was..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Sizhe looked at him and said with a chuckle, "Cao Ye, why are you so cute?"
He leaned over to kiss Cao Ye, his palm fell behind Cao Ye's head, and his breath was staggered, wrapped in hot emotions.
Seeing that the gun was about to go off the rails, Cao Ye sobered up from indulging desire: "Wait for Liang Sizhe..."
"Huh?" Liang Sizhe tapped Cao Ye's Adam's apple with his fingers, "Is there no surveillance here?" He whispered in Cao Ye's ear, "Tonight you can..."
"But..." Cao Ye struggled to make a choice, but... He hasn't made up for Liang Sizhe's birthday tonight!
"Oh..." Liang Sizhe responded quickly and smiled, "Do you have other plans?"
"Well," Cao Ye raised his hand and scratched his forehead, "this is just... your nineteenth birthday. I wanted to bring you here, but it didn't work out, Liang Sizhe," he looked into Liang Sizhe's eyes, "nineteen years old. Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Liang Sizhe said, he changed back to the nineteen-year-old Liang Sizhe, and looked at the seventeen-year-old Cao Ye, "What have you been doing this year?"
Cao Ye was startled for a moment, and then he continued: "I learned how to cut films, and I cut the video of us in Yinsi into a documentary. Brother Si Zhe, have you missed me this year?"
"Yes," Liang Sizhe smiled, looking into his eyes, "often."
Cao Ye stood up, tidied up his clothes, and dragged Liang Sizhe to the shooting studio on the third floor of Utuo. Just like he hurried up the stairs of Lanyan ten years ago, he stepped up a few steps: "Liang Sizhe, please walk slowly. , I'll go up first."
"Okay." Liang Sizhe raised his chin and looked at him, replied.
"The slower the better..." Cao Ye ran up quickly and dropped a sentence.
Liang Sizhe guessed that he needed some time to prepare. He slowed down and walked to the corner of the second floor. A few heads stuck out from the editing room on the second floor. They were from the cast of "Mandala". They first saw Cao Ye striding up the stairs. Seeing Liang Sizhe appearing in Utuo again, someone was about to scream when another person quickly covered his mouth with his eyes and hands.
Liang Sizhe smiled at them and continued to walk upstairs.
Pushing open the iron door of the recording studio, only a few warm yellow wall lamps were lit in the huge and empty space. Cao Ye sat on the high stool with a violin on his shoulders, holding the bow lightly on the strings. .
Liang Sizhe appeared at the door, Cao Ye began to draw the bow, and the melodious music of the violin rang out. The tune was buried deep in Liang Sizhe's memory. When he remembered the tune, he knew that it was the music he played in Yinsi many years ago. The whistle that was blown to Cao Ye.
Liang Sizhe walked over, and a few steps closer to Cao Ye, he saw Cao Ye's forehead hair shaking slightly as Cao Ye played the violin. He stopped in front of Cao Ye and looked at his boy.
After the tune was played, Cao Ye lowered his hand holding the bow. He jumped off the high stool, as if embarrassed, but his eyes brightened in the light: "I picked up the score according to memory, there may be some places in it. No." He handed the violin to Liang Sizhe, "Liang Sizhe, happy seventeenth birthday."
Liang Sizhe took the violin and looked down. The dark red glaze on the violin had faded slightly. It looked a little different from ten years ago, but he could still recognize it at a glance. It was the violin he used back then.
At that time he carried it to and from school every day, participating in rehearsals, performances and competitions.
After the accident, he learned that he could no longer play the violin. When he was desperate, he broke it in a fit of anger. He still remembers that scene.
But now Cao Ye has connected it, if you don't look carefully, you can't even see the traces of the connection.
He didn't expect Cao Ye to make up for his 17th birthday. He couldn't remember what he did on his 17th birthday. At that time, he lost his parents, was alone, and could no longer play the violin. He was at a loss. Experiencing adversity in life. t
"Liang Sizhe, don't be sad," Cao Ye stood in front of him, Liang Sizhe's slightly red eyes made him feel distressed, he whispered, "You will act in movies in the future, you will become the best actor, and you will become very powerful..."
"I will meet a little boy named Cao Ye." Liang Sizhe continued his words. He put the violin on his shoulders and held the bow on the strings. This movement was both familiar and unfamiliar. Ten years ago, he had put the violin on his shoulders countless times, "I haven't played the violin for a long time. , I forgot a lot of songs." Some things always have to come out.
Liang Sizhe continued: "But the one who has a score still remembers it clearly."
With his injured left hand, he pressed the notes one by one, and pulled the bow with his right hand. The music sounded. He remembered the crisp and clean timbre of the youth back then, and then he looked at Cao Ye and sang in a low voice:
"Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky."
"I taught you." Cao Ye said. He looked at Liang Sizhe, and Liang Sizhe, who was playing the violin with his head slightly turned, seemed to be glowing, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Well." Liang Sizhe took the violin off his shoulders and looked at the body, "How did you get it?"
"I'll admit I'm wrong first..." Cao Ye didn't want to spoil the scenery, but he had to say this. He raised his hand and scratched his hair, "In order to get this violin out, I removed the lock on your door..." He observed Liang Sizhe's expression, afraid of causing trouble, quickly added, "But don't worry, after taking it out, put the lock back on..."
"Demolish it as soon as it is demolished," Liang Sizhe was amused by him, looked at him, and said warmly, "It doesn't matter if you demolish the house as long as you are happy."
"I won't demolish the house." Cao Ye retorted in a low voice.
Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye. He thought that the 17-year-old Liang Sizhe had suffered a great misfortune, but he didn't expect that there was still great luck waiting for him.
"It ran over." Cao Ye suddenly lowered his head and said.
Liang Sizhe also lowered his head, followed his gaze and looked down, a small dog was rubbing his trousers.
He bent down and picked it up carefully. It was a small husky.
"Does it look like Caesar?" Cao Ye gently touched the puppy's head with the back of his hand.
"Like." Liang Sizhe smiled, "So it's called Little Caesar?"
"Why are you so smart!" Cao Ye said, paused and lowered his voice, "Happy twenty-eighth birthday, Liang Sizhe, let's raise him together, okay?"
"Okay." Liang Sizhe replied.
"There's more," Cao Ye said, pulling out the hidden contract from behind, with a pen on it, "Mr. Liang Sizhe, Mr. Cao Ye invited you to be Lomon's wife, if you agree, sign it. your name."
That was Lomon's equity transfer, and Cao Ye gave half of his share to Liang Sizhe. Liang Sizhe knew that this contract meant that he would share everything about Lomon with Cao Ye. Even he himself felt that this contract was too risky for Cao Ye.
"You sign it," Cao Ye urged, seeing that he didn't finish writing, he was inexplicably nervous, and said with a lively atmosphere, "Aren't you afraid that Lomon will go bankrupt one day? Don't worry..."
Liang Sizhe looked up at Cao Ye: "Cao Ye, I was thinking, you don't need to do this step to give me a sense of security, there is still a long way to go, and falling in love with me may be very tiring..."
"There's still a long way to go," Cao Ye interrupted him, "so Liang Sizhe, don't you want to come with me? Don't treat me like a child all the time, I'm not the Cao Ye of ten years ago, no I need to hide behind you all the time so that you can protect me. Liang Sizhe, I can stand side by side with you and face everything."
"You will be photographed, you will lose your freedom, and you will be involved in the whirlpool of public opinion. Does it matter?"
"I don't care about that." Cao Ye said, "On the contrary, you are more adventurous, okay? But I also thought about it, if something really happens, we will go abroad to develop, anyway, you have to be the best actor in Cannes, and you will be abroad. You can also get a good role, and, if it’s a big deal, you can cooperate with Cao Xiuyuan again, he will definitely not care about public opinion, then I will shake it in front of him every day, mad at him.”
Liang Sizhe was amused by him. He held the contract and looked at Cao Ye standing in front of him.
He thought that Cao Ye was right. Subconsciously, he always regarded Cao Ye as the little playboy of the year, but he kept ignoring the fact that Cao Ye grew up as fast as him. He was no longer the little playboy of the year. With Liang Sizhe's overprotection, they can stand together to face all the turbulent future.
He turned the contract to the last page, and joked: "Lomon's boss lady... Is boss daddy okay?"
"Hey... Is it ungrateful that you are competing with your benefactor to be a father?"
"I helped him to accept his son, it should be considered affectionate and righteous..." Liang Sizhe wrote with a smile, signed his name behind Cao Ye, and handed it to him, "Come to Xiaoye, call Dad to listen."
"You don't have to go too far!"
When Liang Sizhe was driving on the way home with little Caesar at night, Cao Ye felt that his nerves were overexcited and he couldn't calm down for a while.
They talked about dealing with the media in the future, and it was easy to reach a consensus-they didn't need to avoid the media deliberately. .
But despite this, Cao Ye still couldn't hold back his mood. The group is full of friends who have played since childhood. Cao Ye said to Liang Sizhe and typed a sentence in the chat box: "Are you all there? I have something important to announce."
"Go ahead." Dabai replied, "What's the important thing?"
Cao Ye solemnly typed out a line: "I'm with Liang Sizhe." After reading it for a few seconds, he made sure there was no typo, then clicked send, and then excitedly and anxiously waited for other people's replies and blessings.
But the group did not have the enthusiastic response picture he expected.
"Oh, what do I think," Dabai said, "Is there anyone who doesn't know?"
Cao Ye: "..."
After a few seconds, someone replied: "I'm more interested in when you two were together."
Cao Ye: "On eleven."
Da Bai: "...It's so late that you two didn't get together before?"
Fang Yixiang: "This is still to be announced... Only you and Liang Sizhe in the world just know the news, okay?"
He Fangwen: "Eleventh? Are you slow to respond, and you just woke up."
Chi Mingyao: "Oh, I thought you guys have split and combined eight hundred times."
Cao Ye: "..."
After a while, Lin Yan also replied: "So who is going up and who is going down?"
The group suddenly became lively, and the lively scene that Cao Ye had expected before appeared.
Dabai: "Hahahahaha I want to know too."
Chi Mingyao: "You can guess it."
Dabai: "Chi Mingyao, guess who is on top? Do you want to bet? I bet on Liang Sizhe."
Chi Mingyao: "Liang Sizhe +1"
He Fangwen: "Liang Sizhe +1"
Lin Yan: "Liang Sizhe +1"
Fang Yixiang: "Liang Sizhe +1"
Cao Ye: "... Get out."
