The taxi turned into a ray of light, speeding along the asphalt road of Laiyang with a broken heart.
Everything outside the window seemed to have turned into pieces of paper; those tall buildings and elevated overpasses became illusory.
They are so unreal, as if a gust of wind or a rain could blow them away and melt them away.
Yes, this world is so unreal!
… …
Lai Yang opened the car window as wide as possible, letting the wind blow into his mouth, making his throat very dry, but his eyes were blown very red and wet...
In this city, Lai Yang has loved two women in total, but both ended in tragedy...
The root cause of tragedy is that one cannot give the other person what they want.
He suddenly felt so pitiful, like a humble insect in the dust.
Lai Yang supported his forehead with his hands, blocking his eyes and crying. He didn't want anyone to see him. He just wanted to cry loudly and silently for a while.
Tears brought back many memories of the past and Tian Jing. I remembered the scene of her feeding me sugar water, the scene of her touching the cake with her fingertips and putting it in her mouth, saying it was delicious, and the scene of her gently holding the red beans and cheering me up...
The wheels rolled over the road madly, crushing these memories and sadness that were growing wildly over and over again.
But they grew like wild grass in March, crawling in through the car windows and piercing every inch of Laiyang's skin...
His tears were almost dried, and the car arrived at the entrance of Wanda Cinema. Lai Yang wiped his eyes, pushed the door and got out.
Lai Yang never wants to touch love again. The only thing he wants to do and can do is to develop his career!
Otherwise he would really have nothing.
…
After entering the cinema hall, Lai Yang saw from afar Sun Hao communicating with the front desk with a gloomy face.
"Is everyone still there?"
Lai Yang stepped forward and asked. Seeing that it was him, Sun Hao hurriedly walked out from the front desk, pulled him to sit at a small round table nearby and spoke.
"You're finally here. Please explain to Momo that I really didn't do anything wrong. I've been asking people to distribute your discount tickets. It's not my fault if they don't sell well."
Lai Yang's red eyes suddenly froze, and he slightly widened them and asked, "What... did you say?"
Sun Hao was stunned: "You don't know? Didn't you check the ticket purchase link? So far, not a single ticket has been sold. This matter really has nothing to do with me!"
A strong feeling of dizziness came over him again. Lai Yang held his forehead with his hand. After a long while, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the ticket purchasing background.
Indeed, not a single one was sold!
"Impossible, how is it possible?"
Lai Yang's mouth twitched. The cinema model he had thought of relied on the cinema's own traffic conversion. How could it be possible that not a single ticket could be converted!
If this is the case, then October... that school... and everything I have done, wouldn't it be a waste?!
If there is a problem with the underlying logic, all the structures on the upper level will definitely collapse and be completely shattered!
"Buy a ticket, quickly! Buy it quickly!"
Lai Yang looked up and shouted, tears welling up in his eyes.
Sun Hao bought a ticket in a hurry. Lai Yang looked at the counter and saw that only one ticket had been sold, and he completely collapsed!
The link is good, but it’s also true that no one buys it!
how so
The moment Lai Yang stood up, his feet went weak and he fell over with a thump, and Sun Hao and the front desk quickly helped him up.
He numbly pushed them away and staggered towards the theater.
As soon as I entered the theater, I saw that everyone was sitting on the seats like clay figures. When they saw Lai Yang, their eyes were extremely complicated.
Hu Zi also came, and everyone looked at Lai Yang blankly.
After a few seconds, Li Dian said in a very low voice.
"Laiyang... I don't think I can perform tomorrow night."
This answer made Lai Yang stand there in a daze, and Yuan Sheng spoke loudly at this time.
"I just asked a few moviegoers, and it seems that there is something wrong with the demographics... The people who can come to watch movies nowadays are a bit older, and they don't know anything about talk shows."
Qianying continued, "There are young people too, but they prefer to go to the theater to watch performances. Their focus is on experiencing the atmosphere and taking photos. For the same price... they prefer to go to a small theater."
Hu Zi looked at everyone silently, and finally glanced at Lai Yang.
"If this is the case... where will the students trained in this school go to perform in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Then, his gaze instantly turned back to Lai Yang, as if he wanted to pierce through his body.
At this moment, Lai Yang met Song Wen and Yun Lu's gaze, and really saw a kind of despair in their eyes.
And this despair originated from Lai Yang, which made him more like a sinner!
… …
I forgot how the meeting ended, and Lai Yang couldn't remember the expressions on everyone's faces when they left.
He just felt that his life was extremely disappointing, extremely...
Back to the cold room,
Lai Yang lay paralyzed on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, his emotions on the verge of collapse.
After an unknown amount of time, Lai Yang's cell phone vibrated. His heart trembled as he immediately picked it up and took a look.
It was Li Dianfa who asked him if he was okay.
After replying with "It's okay", Lai Yang felt lonely again.
He clicked on the quiet WeChat dialog box with his finger, and looking at the messages one by one, he burst into tears again.
After holding his finger for a while, he clicked delete...
…
Throwing away his phone, Lai Yang lay on the sofa again, completely not knowing what to do next.
Snap~
The door lock made a sound. Yuan Shengda was the only one who had the key to his room, so Lai Yang was not surprised who it was.
Yuan Sheng poked his little oval face in, glanced at him without saying hello, then went into the house, put a bowl of rice noodles on the coffee table, and turned and went into the bathroom.
Lai Yang looked at the ceiling and slowly lowered his eyes. He watched her cleaning the living room with a broom and said after a while.
"Stop pretending. You don't even sweep your own room, and you come to sweep mine?"
Yuan Shengda turned around and glared at him: "I am happy to do so. I just love sweeping your room. Is that not okay?"
"You know that the dust you sweep is choking, right?"
"Did you choke to death? Hey~ Who told you to bully me when we were little? Now I'm going to kill you!"
"I'm so sad tonight, can't you just calm down? Can you go?"
"Sad? Then why aren't you sad? Beat me up?"
Lai Yang stood up, came closer and raised his hand and shouted: "You think I don't dare! I'm just a piece of trash, what's wrong with me hitting you?!"
Yuan Shengda choked with tears in his eyes.
"Go ahead and hit me. If hitting me makes me happy... Go ahead, but you are not allowed to say that about yourself... My heart hurts."
The hanging hand froze in the air, and the four words "My heart hurts" seemed like a warm current flowing into the heart, instantly making the crazy Lai Yang's eyes red.
After a moment, he let go of his hands and hugged Yuan Shengda tightly, while her cheek was pressed against Lai Yang's chest, wet with tears.
"It's okay. No one can succeed easily... You are already very good. If you want to cry... just cry. It's okay for a man to cry... It's not a sin."
"I'm sorry for being so loud... I'm sorry."
"What are you saying sorry for? You have been sorry to me so many times. Don't pretend this time..."
Lai Yang's tears flowed down and he nodded heavily.
"I'm tired, really tired... I want to go home."
