The dancing flames seemed to be engraved in Lai Yang's heart, so much so that when he took a taxi to Hongqiao Station, he looked out the window and felt that the buildings were also dancing.
The tranquility ignited a fire in his heart, making everything seem unreal in his eyes.
Those flashing neon lights seem like torches connecting to the end of the world, and I am sitting on a train called time, heading towards the end of happiness.
Behind the wheels, the whole city became soft, hot and restless!
He especially wants to quickly create a place for himself in this city and give his baby a warm home. This is his biggest wish now.
…
It was only after checking into a hotel near Hongqiao Station that Lai Yang discovered that Li Liangxin had replied to his message.
He said he was running around the studio all day yesterday discussing cooperation, and when he heard Jiaqi say that she was looking for him, he forgot about it the moment he turned around.
Laiyang lit a cigarette, lay on the bed and replied that it was okay, he was short of people now, and asked him if he was interested in working together
After half a minute, Li Liangxin asked him if it was convenient for him to call.
Lai Yang replied that it was convenient, so he called and just after the call was connected, he said hello and Jia Qi hummed beside him.
"Go to sleep, don't make any noise~"
"Shh, go to sleep first, I'm going to go out and play~"
"No no no, honey, I want to hold you while sleeping."
Lai Yang suddenly felt his throat become dry. Is it necessary in the middle of the night
Who do you want to bully when you have no one to blame
After a while of comforting, Li Liangxin quietly asked Lai Yang how he wanted to cooperate
It can be heard that his tone has changed. He is not as blunt in his rejection as before. This may also be because the success of the recent performance of the Boxiao Club in the cinema has given him hope.
"Here's what I thought. Since you're a stand-up comedian, I'll let you lead a team after you come here. I'll provide the actors, all of whom are students. You train them to lead the team, and I'll split the box office revenue with you 70% and 30%."
Having said that, Lai Yang paused for a moment and added.
"This is the maximum profit I can give you. I have to give 70% to Yun Bin, the cinema, the ticketing platform, and I may have to set up an online publicity team in the future. All these costs need to be considered. You only need to take 30% after deducting the actor fee for each show. If you calculate the profit, it will definitely be more promising than your small-scale operation in Zhoushan."
Lai Yang was telling the truth. If calculated on a per-game basis, he would only get 30% of the profit in the end.
Li Liangxin is also a performer, so he definitely understands his own concessions.
After a while, Li Liangxin took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, if I were alone, I would definitely come here. The main reason is that I still have Jiaqi with me. I'm afraid she won't be used to living in Shanghai for a long time."
"Yes, yes, I don't want to go to Shanghai, I just want to stay here." Jiaqi shouted from the side.
Lai Yang put out the cigarette, rubbed his head with his hands, and spoke.
"Jiaqi, do you like Disney? There is Disney in Shanghai, with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and beautiful fireworks shows. If you want to come, your husband can take you there. In Zhoushan, you can only see birds on the sea. What is there to see?"
After a moment of silence on the other end, Lai Yang heard Jia Qi speak in a very low voice.
“…Honey, it’s Disney~”
Lai Yang almost laughed. This Jiaqi is really a funny person. There will probably be a lot of fun things when she comes.
After another round of whispering, Li Liangxin replied, "You're amazing! Jiaqi said that if I don't go, he'll kill me."
"Hahaha! So... have you decided to come over?"
"Well, help me find a house. I'll call you before I leave."
"Oh, no need to look for it, Shengda just moved out, I'll keep the house for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang felt more cheerful. He looked at the white ceiling, and in a burst of joy he suddenly thought of what Yuan Shengda said before they left.
She joked that she was a jinx and that Ting Jing was the heroine, so whenever she got close to Ting Jing, good things would happen...
It seems like a bit of coincidence.
As soon as he had this thought, Lai Yang shook his head immediately. Yuan Shengda was not the supporting actress. She was his best childhood friend. Like Tian Jing, she was an irreplaceable person in his life.
…
At one o'clock the next afternoon, as soon as Lai Yang exited the high-speed rail station, he felt the temperature drop sharply!
Xi'an is located in the northwest, and the autumn atmosphere can be felt in October, with a hint of chill in the dry wind.
Among the passengers getting off the high-speed train, some were wearing thin down jackets, but Lai Yang was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, which attracted many people's strange looks.
After taking a taxi home, my parents were obviously not as enthusiastic as before.
Especially my mother. She was still angry when I left last time, and with the incident involving Yuan Shengda, she didn't give Lai Yang a good look.
After a simple lunch, his parents went with him to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University in Yanta District.
Laiyang could feel the heavy mood of his parents along the way. They hardly spoke a word the whole time.
I just asked briefly about Yuan Qing and Aru.
When she heard Lai Yang say with certainty that they had broken up, her mother sighed.
"Yangyang, Mommy just doesn't understand. Xiaoqing is beautiful and kind to you, and you grew up together and know each other well. Why don't you seize the opportunity?"
As soon as these words came out, even the driver looked at Lai Yang through the rearview mirror, feeling very embarrassed.
"Mom, don't say this for now. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Where are you going back to? Are you going back to Shanghai?"
"… "
Lai Yang chose to shut up and turned to look out the window. At this moment, the car just passed through the city wall of "Yongning Gate". The wall blocked the sunlight and also blocked Lai Yang's joy that had lasted from last night. A shadow covered his mood.
…
Half an hour later, the family of three arrived at the hospital. Lai Yang walked faster, mainly because he was afraid that his mother would nag again.
When he walked to the stairs in the hall, a figure suddenly passed by him. Lai Yang didn't see who the other person was, but the familiar smell of shampoo made him stop and look back.
As a result, the figure also turned back at the same time.
The moment their eyes met, they both froze.
The woman who was only two steps away from Lai Yang at this moment was Gu Qian, who almost married him.
She gained a little weight, but her skin became much more radiant and her whole temperament was completely different from before.
Perhaps the only thing that has not changed is that pair of lively eyes. From those eyes, Lai Yang instantly saw those youthful years.
After being stunned for a moment, Lai Yang took the lead in greeting with a smile; "Long time no see, are you... feeling unwell?"
Gu Qian held a test report in her lowered hand. She hid the report behind her legs at first, but soon relaxed again and forced a smile.
"Long time no see Laiyang, I'm... pregnant, come here for a check-up."
"… "
The taste of speaking it out flashed through my mind.
Although he and Gu Qian had broken up a year ago and she had already gotten married, he still felt a little pain in his heart when he heard such words in person.
After all, she had...
Oh~
Lai Yang sighed inwardly, but still kept a gentlemanly smile. But just when he was about to say congratulations, his parents followed him...
Now Lai Yang also frowned.
How would they feel if they heard that their future daughter-in-law was pregnant with someone else's child
