Not far away, Liang Sizhe and Wang Haiming had already reached the school gate. At this time, they stopped and waited for the three people behind to follow.
The three of them stepped up to follow, and when they were still a few meters away, Mu Ke pulled Meng Yangxin's arm, so Meng Yangxin slowed down again. Cao Ye noticed that the two girls had something to say to avoid him, so he walked over first.
"I think we should not mention this," Mu Ke whispered to Meng Yangxin when Cao Ye walked to the front, "Mr. Mo said before in our class that she asked Liang Sizhe if she needed everyone's help. Liang Sizhe only said that he didn't want what happened to him to be the talk of others."
"I only said that because he and Liang Sizhe have a good relationship... Otherwise, Liang Sizhe wouldn't have brought him over to meet us," Meng Yangxin said in a low voice, "so he should know if we don't say it?"
Mu Ke cautiously said: "I think it's his own business whether Liang Sizhe tells him or not, let's not talk about it..."
"Okay, listen to you, don't say anything." After Meng Yangxin finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Ke with a smile, and joked, "You like him so much, then go and confess to him, you can't miss the opportunity. "
"Forget it," Mu Ke blushed quickly and patted Meng Yangxin's arm, "Everyone is about to become a big star, what am I?"
"Anyway, you're also a deputy chief, and maybe he needs someone else's company at this time." Meng Yangxin glanced at Liang Sizhe in front of him.
Mu Ke shook his head disapprovingly: "When he was hospitalized at the time, a few of our friends wanted to see him, and they all went to the door of the ward. He called the nurse to persuade us to leave, and then Wang Haiming went to see him himself. , came back without seeing anyone, Wang Haiming had the best relationship with him before..."
Cao Ye followed the two people in front and approached. Liang Sizhe looked at him and asked, "Why are you walking so slowly?"
It should be a happy event for old friends to meet, but Liang Sizhe's complexion seemed slightly gloomy, and it turned into the sharp and cold look they had just met.
"Let's chat for a while." Cao Ye smiled at him and stood beside him. In fact, he saw that Wang Haiming just wanted to talk to Liang Sizhe alone, so he deliberately walked a few steps slower, but Liang Sizhe didn't seem to appreciate it.
When Cao Ye followed, Liang Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Wang Haiming came to ask about his situation out of good intentions, he still couldn't avoid his rejection. In front of Cao Ye, Wang Haiming should not mention anything related to the car accident.
Moreover, just now Cao Ye was walking behind with Mu Ke and Meng Yangxin, he was a little worried, afraid that the situation in his home would be revealed to Cao Ye by them. Mu Ke is also reassuring. Teacher Mo should have mentioned in the class that he does not want others to talk about this matter, but Meng Yangxin, a classmate from an outside class, is not necessarily so. They are not very familiar with each other. Ordinary friends who have been in the same symphony orchestra.
Liang Sizhe didn't want Cao Ye to know everything about him, and it had nothing to do with trust, but he extremely rejected all the "sympathy" expressions and emotions that others put on him, and even more hated the words that others used on him related to sympathy— "Poor", "Unfortunate", "Too miserable", all of which he resisted.
After the incident, he was suddenly extremely sensitive to the emotion of "sympathy", and no emotion could anger him and break him as quickly as "sympathy". Almost as if he was allergic to this kind of emotion, he doubted whether all the friends and classmates who knew about it had sympathy for talking to him and helping him in the first place.
He even began to use this emotion to divide the people he came into contact with—Zheng Yin said that if he lost the election, he could introduce himself out of sympathy, while Cao Xiuyuan said that fair competition was not; Wang Haiming said that there was an element of sympathy to ask him for help at any time. Now, Cao Ye gave him the script because he wanted to "make him happy".
It's hard to imagine if Cao Ye wanted to make him happy out of sympathy, then whether he would be happy or not.
Or maybe Cao Ye has such a sympathy for himself, but he hides it so well that when he gets along with him, he doesn't care about these details at all...
Liang Sizhe thinks that it's not that he doesn't need company, it's just that he doesn't need someone who can accompany him through the difficulties. The difficulties are to be overcome by himself. Even if there is no one to accompany him, he can get through it by himself after all. What he really needs is A person who can accompany him to forget the past and make him happy. And Cao Ye is the one who can make him happy, maybe not, but he is really happy these days, especially when he came out this morning.
Thinking of wanting to laugh again in the morning, Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at Cao Ye.
Mingming didn't seem to be in a good mood just now, but now the expression on his face suddenly softened, and there was even a faint smile in his eyes. Cao Ye said strangely, "What's wrong?"
Liang Sizhe chuckled and shook his head: "No, I just suddenly thought of what happened in the morning."
"Stop, stop," Cao Ye really exploded, "in broad daylight!"
Wang Haiming also wondered why Liang Sizhe's mood seemed to suddenly become brighter, and asked curiously, "What happened in the morning?"
Liang Sizhe stopped laughing: "It's alright," seeing the two girls following behind him, he added, "Let's go, go in and visit your school."
The central sound area is not large, but the construction is very distinctive, and the shadow of music can be seen everywhere. Wang Haiming dutifully acted as a tour guide, introducing their usual practice venues, performance venues and class locations.
"That's Steinway Gardens," Wang Haiming pointed forward, "Can you see the design inspiration?"
"Like a treble." Cao Ye said aside.
"Yes," Wang Haiming nodded and smiled, "it's the treble symbol in the staff, you also study music?"
Cao Ye smiled at him and said nothing.
"He's also pulling Xiaoti." Liang Sizhe said for him.
"By the way, when it comes to violin, Li You came to give a lecture last year," Wang Haiming pointed not far away, "in that building."
"Can I invite Li You?" Liang Sizhe glanced in the direction he pointed, "So powerful."
"Yeah, it's a pity we didn't catch up this time. I heard that Li You played a solo session at the time."
"Is it Li Youmei?" Cao Ye asked from the side.
"Of course she is beautiful," Wang Haiming said with a smile, "I heard from the senior and senior who attended the lecture last year that Li You is not only beautiful, but also has a special temperament."
"Oh, that's it." Cao Ye said.
It was almost evening after visiting the school. Several people found a nearby restaurant and sat down. At the beginning, the conversation was all about Liang Sizhe. After all, being selected by the great director Cao Xiuyuan was a legendary experience.
Meng Yangxin asked with interest: "He's standing in front of your house? How did he find your house?"
Liang Sizhe's tone was normal: "The vocal teacher brought it with me."
"And after seeing you? What did he say?"
"Ask me if I want to go back to Beijing with them and try, and I'll come."
"Wow—is that easy?"
"Well, so there's nothing legendary," Liang Sizhe took the topic away from himself, "Let's talk about you, what professional courses do you usually have?".
A few people were talking about school, Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and ate slowly, and occasionally when he came across something of interest, he would look up at the person who was talking.
Cao Ye was not interested in the campus life they were talking about. He was eating and sneaking glances at Liang Sizhe from time to time. Although after getting along for this period of time, he was already very familiar with Liang Sizhe, but when Meng Yangxin mentioned it, he couldn't help but search for traces of publicity and high spirits in Liang Sizhe.
But can't find it. Liang Sizhe looked unusually calm, and his every move was calm. Compared with the other three high-spirited classmates, he was taciturn and even out of place.
Halfway through, Liang Sizhe got up and went to the bathroom to settle the bill in advance, and the topic of several other people fell on him again.
Meng Yangxin drank the orange juice in front of him, pushed the glass aside, lay down and whispered, "Tell me, next year, will Liang Sizhe be a big hit?"
"It's hard to say Dahong Dazi, but I think he will become popular." Mu Ke said.
"Then do you think you will win the Best Newcomer Award? Cao Xiuyuan won the last protagonist he won."
"Then how can I be sure."
"I think it will," Cao Ye added to the discussion and said with a snort, "Maybe he will win the best actor."
"Haha," Meng Yangxin laughed, "it's too difficult for a movie star."
"The director is Cao Xiuyuan." Cao Ye drank the ice-cola in front of him, and the straw made a "hooah" sound. He took the straw out and put it aside, and continued, "Cao Xiuyuan's films have already produced two film stars and two After the movie."
"I know, Cao Xiuyuan is very good," Meng Yangxin said, "but Xu Mingyue and Qi Sheng, two movie stars, one in his thirties and the other in his forties, have very hard acting skills, but Liang Sizhe has never acted. movie."
"Oh, yes," Wang Haiming had not participated in the discussion, and then sighed in agreement, "And just now Si Zhe told me that it would take several rounds of auditions alone, and it has not yet been decided whether he will be the lead actor or not. I said that these big directors are really tormenting, maybe a year and a half will be loaded in, and in the end the bamboo basket will be empty, and what he will do at that time will be a problem..."
The phone on the table vibrated, Cao Ye looked down, Zheng Yin called, he picked up the phone, got up and went to the door to connect: "Uncle Yin, what are you doing?"
"My dad and I were scouting abroad, and there was no signal for a while," Zheng Yin smiled on the phone. "What's the matter? Are you finally willing to prepare for the role?"
"You're abroad... When can you come back?"
"I can't tell you, it will take a week at the earliest. Now you know that you are urging me. I have never seen you in a hurry when I was in China."
Cao Ye exaggerated: "I'm in a hurry all of a sudden. I've been so anxious lately that I can't sleep, just like... ants on a hot pot!"
"Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan, where did you learn this from elementary school?" Zheng Yin was amused by him, "Okay, then I'll let Zhang Minghan talk to you first. He was also cultivated by a pure rookie, and some experience will help you. It should help."
"Then I'll call him?"
"Let me tell him," Zheng Yin said patiently. "If you tell him as a child, he may not take it seriously. I'll finish talking to him in a while, and ask him to call you back. You can just wait. Now, when he finishes talking to you, I will find an assistant director to take you to the crew to talk about it in detail."
"Don't look for that Jingqiang." Cao Ye still remembered the bad things that Jingqiang said about Liang Sizhe outside the door that day.
"Which one?" Zheng Yin responded, "Oh, you said Wu Feng, he is a photographer, don't look for him... Besides, other people are not bad, but sometimes they speak more straight, and those people will be your predecessors in the future, you can You can't have such a big prejudice."
"I just don't want to talk to him."
"Okay, okay, don't talk to him," Zheng Yin smiled along with him, "the child's temper."
Zheng Yin has always acted cautiously and prudently. Seeing that Cao Ye was finally interested in the role of Xiaoman, he arranged things in a few words.
Cao Ye Anxin hung up the phone. In this world, the first person he believed in was his mother Li You, and the second person he believed in was Uncle Yin. Ever since he was a child, there was no such thing as Uncle Yin agreed but eventually broke his promise.
Sure enough, after they said goodbye to those classmates, Zhang Minghan quickly called.
In the darkness of nine o'clock, people came and went on the sidewalks around the campus. Cao Ye answered the phone, and Zhang Minghan said on the other end, "Has Xiao Ye eaten yet?"
"I have eaten Brother Minghan." Cao Ye said.
Hearing that, Liang Sizhe glanced at him, and when he heard the tone and name, he knew that Cao Ye had begun to behave again. Brother Minghan... Is that Zhang Minghan you saw in the last audition? In the middle of the night, why did Zhang Minghan suddenly ask Cao Ye for something
The students on the opposite side came in groups. Some of the boys seemed to be drunk. Cao Ye lowered his head and made a phone call. When he was about to collide with the person on the opposite side, Liang Sizhe raised his arm and went around his back. , took him by the shoulders and brought him to his side.
The group of people walked over, but Liang Sizhe didn't take his hand back and put it on Cao Ye's shoulder. It would be better if Cao Ye was shorter, but that's not bad for now.
Cao Ye was different from his "covered with thorns", he obediently let him rest on his shoulders, and even turned his face and smiled at him between calls.
The juvenile's bones are thin, probably because the joints are too fast, the body is not fully grown and strong, and the arms are even a little nervous.
When meeting some old friends, Liang Sizhe was always in a tense state. After saying goodbye now, walking side by side with Cao Ye on the street, he felt a sense of relief. Although he knew that no one was malicious towards him, and even if he occasionally mentioned the past out of kindness and concern, he still couldn't face them calmly and relaxedly.
But unlike Cao Ye, he doesn't need to stretch himself and beware of the past that may be mentioned at any time, whether it's glorious or tragic. He can completely relax and get along with Cao Ye, and he doesn't need to hold on to a skin with a proud past - it's too tiring, but he can't let go of his self-esteem in front of others, show his vulnerability, and present a powerless and incompetent Liang Sizhe.
There was constant traffic on the road, and after walking for a while, Liang Sizhe waved and called an empty taxi on the side of the road. The car quickly stopped beside them. He retracted the hand on Cao Ye's shoulder. Just as he was about to open the car door, Cao Ye grabbed his wrist and stopped him. The taxi driver who came out said, "Uncle, wait a moment."
"Tonight?" Cao Ye loosened Liang Sizhe's wrist, and continued what he just said to the phone. He nodded and said, "Then I'll go look for you in a while."
"Let's go?" the taxi master pointed out and urged.
Cao Ye hung up the phone, replied "immediately", then turned to Liang Sizhe and said, "Get in the car, I won't be going back tonight."
Liang Sizhe looked at him in surprise: "Where are you going so suddenly?"
"My friend insisted that I go to play..." Cao Ye raised his hand and scratched his forehead.
"Oh, okay... Then you can go in this car." Liang Sizhe opened the car door for him.
"Sit down, I'll take another taxi." Cao Ye stretched his neck, wanting to search the street for another empty taxi.
Liang Sizhe looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Did you bring any money?"
"Ah," Cao Ye turned his face and looked at him with a wink, "I really didn't bring it."
"I knew it," Liang Sizhe raised his hand and held his shoulder, using some strength in his hand to stuff him into the car, and took out three hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to him, "I didn't bring too much when I went out. Is it enough?"
"Enough," Cao Ye took over, "Are you enough?"
"I've had enough, let's go." Liang Sizhe closed the car door.
"Goodbye." Cao Ye pressed down the car window and looked at him.
His hair was a little messed up by the night wind, Liang Sizhe looked at him, the boy lying by the window looked like a puppy, his eyes looked bright in the night, and his hairy head made people want to reach out and touch them .
The driver's master was probably in a hurry.
Liang Sizhe watched the car merge into the traffic, turned around and went to the subway station. The 300 yuan he gave to Cao Ye was the only few large bills left on his body. Now he only had the change for the checkout during the meal.
On the way to the subway, he thought that he was probably possessed by Zheng Yin. When he just gave Cao Ye the 300 yuan, he actually gave him a feeling of being a father... It's just that raising Cao Ye is too expensive, Liang Sizhe is a little bit I thought with a headache, if it goes on like this, I should really think about selling the house.
