Lai Yang's hand that was about to lift the lid of the trash retracted like a spring, and in a burst of excitement he took out his cell phone to check.
The call turned out to be from an unfamiliar number. After a few seconds of hesitation, Lai Yang answered the call and said hello.
"Hello, is this Laiyang?"
"Who are you?"
"Oh, it was President Wei who gave me your phone number. My name is Xiao Yi, and I'm a director of film and television programs."
At the same time, Sister Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Laiyang, I just happened to meet Director Xiao tonight, so let me introduce him to you. Director Xiao is a big director, and the variety shows and movies he has shot are all very popular. Are you free now? Can you guys chat?"
"… "
At this moment, Lai Yang felt as if he was compressed into a shadow.
Unable to speak, without expression, without heart organ, and without any senses. Just a human-shaped shadow, stretched and shortened by the light of passing cars.
Until Sister Wei spoke, Lai Yang was still wondering if it was a prank by Tian Jing.
Maybe she was hiding nearby and asked someone to make the call deliberately, just like she did last time with the hostess.
But the fact is not so, so half a second later, an indescribable feeling spread from the tip of the heart to the tip of the nose, and quickly filled the eyes.
Some are sad, some are funny.
Lai Yang looked up blankly and looked around. The number of tourists on the street had dropped sharply. It was difficult to hide a person, and even a heart, on the spacious road.
Lai Yang felt as if his heart was covered with a layer of frost. After taking two difficult breaths, he forced a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Wei. I didn't expect you still remember it."
"I don't have amnesia, how could I have forgotten? Have a good chat with Director Xiao, I'll give him the phone."
There was a whirring sound from the other end of the line.
In this brief second, Lai Yang repeated Sister Wei's words in his heart.
Yes, I haven’t lost my memory, so how could I forget
"Hey, Laiyang, I watched your performance video. To be honest, it's quite interesting. You have developed to that level now. Can you give me a rough idea of the number of actors in your team and how many performances you can hold in a year?"
“…Director Xiao.”
Lai Yang sniffed and looked at the wilted Platycodon grandiflorum in the trash can.
Sour road.
"Director Xiao, why don't you catch up with Sister Wei tonight? We can talk again when we have time, okay?"
The other end obviously didn't expect Lai Yang to say that. After a long pause, he smiled and said, "Okay, you are still very caring. Your sister Wei was right about you, haha."
Sister Wei also interrupted: "Laiyang, I'm leaving tomorrow. If I leave too early, you probably won't be able to get up. So when you have time in the future, remember to come to Zhoushan to visit me."
"Okay, sister, I will definitely go."
"Okay, bye."
Sister Wei hung up the phone, and the whole world seemed to become quiet in an instant, so quiet that Lai Yang's empty heart had nowhere to rest.
He stood there in a daze for a long time before he opened his phone and took a look.
The magical thing is that no one tagged him in the group that afternoon, and Li Dian and the others remained silent.
However, Lai Yang quickly realized that Yunlu might have told them about his itinerary when he went to the theater.
This Yunlu really made me feel heartbroken today.
Just when I was thinking about this, Song Wen suddenly sent a WeChat message, asking how I was doing with Tian Zong now? He also said that this matter was all thanks to him, and if the relationship progressed, he would invite him and Xiaolu to dinner at the Bund~
What the hell, I'm killed by you two, and tranquility never comes!
Less than ten seconds after Song Wen replied to the message, Yunlu called him via video.
Lai Yang held the cell phone in his hand and sat on the bench with his tired body. He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff before answering the call.
Yunlu looked at him in surprise, and then asked him to change the camera angle.
Lai Yang held a cigarette to his lips with one hand and turned his cell phone with the other. The street lights made the street look particularly desolate. There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and the cars passing back and forth made Lai Yang's face dim.
"Really not coming?"
"No, I won't say any more. I need to save some battery to take a taxi back."
"Wait a minute, Brother Yang, I think... why don't you give me a call and ask?"
"hehe."
Lai Yang snorted coldly: "What are you asking? Asking her why she didn't come? She said she didn't want to come. What does Disney represent? The meaning is very clear. Maybe it's too clear that's why she doesn't want to come."
Yunlu paused for a long time, with some confusion in his eyes.
"Brother Yang, I think you shouldn't call her anymore. Just go to her house. Don't you know where her house is? Go and ask her clearly. If it's okay, she can give you a definite answer!"
"Come on, am I not embarrassed enough?"
As he was talking, Lai Yang was about to hang up the phone, but Song Wen added something on the other end.
"Brother Yang, don't jump to conclusions. You don't care about your reputation anyway, so why would you bother to ask her for clarification?"
"Hey! Who are you scolding?"
"I'm not scolding anyone, I just think it's unrealistic for President Tian not to come."
"Then they don't want to come, why are you arguing with me about this?"
"Brother Yang, don't always think the worst. Maybe she had a car accident on the way here, so... woo woo!"
YunLu covered Song Wen's mouth with his hand, and the other party's phone fell and hung up.
Lai Yang was stunned on the street, but after hearing what he said, he was really a little worried.
"Yes, go find her and tell her you're worried she's had a car accident."
After Lai Yang shouted, he looked at the street blankly and muttered to himself: "Fuck, I'm really a genius..."
…
Fifty minutes later, Lai Yang stood at the door of Tian Jing's house, but after knocking for a long time, there was no response from inside.
Now he was really nervous, so he called Li Rouhe to ask.
As a result, she told Lai Yang that although today was Saturday, there was a high-level meeting held in the afternoon which ended only an hour ago.
President Tian was acting strange during the meeting. She was distracted all the time. I thought she was not feeling well...
Because of this sentence, Lai Yang felt as if he had ascended from hell to heaven!
Tian Jing didn't mean to not come, she just really couldn't spare the time.
"But... then why didn't she send me a message to tell me?" Lai Yang asked puzzled.
Li Rouhe sighed: "You are really a straight man. Didn't you say you would wait and see each other? Maybe, President Tian also wants to see if you keep your word?"
“Ah~~~”
"She drove away right after the 8 o'clock party. Maybe... she forgot to charge her phone. Oh, why don't you go back and find it now? What are you still talking to me about? Stupid!"
