Capital, Linshui Mansion.
Of course it is impossible for Wen Xingze to play the suona, not to mention that he doesn't have a suona in his hand, even if he really has one, it is impossible for him to play it at Ji Meng's Christmas Eve banquet! What did that become? !
Although the atmosphere of this banquet is obviously more casual, Wen Xingze came here wearing a hooded sweater. He originally planned to change into formal clothes after he arrived, but before he entered the door, he realized that he might not need to change - he can wear anything, not to mention the hooded sweater. There was even a middle-aged uncle who walked in holding a thermos cup and waving a cattail fan, acting as if no one else was there.
After the guests confirmed that Wen Xingze really didn't intend to play the suona, they were genuinely disappointed, and the atmosphere on the first floor suddenly became a little depressed:
"I really want to hear it. A friend of mine heard it in the "Yu Long Ye" group, and he still shows it off all the time..."
"Ever since I listened to Xiaowen suona jumping over Di, I have no taste in other wines!"
"I thought Xiaowen was going to play the suona, so I deliberately disbanded the band. It's really not as good as God."
"Meow-"
"It's not enough to disband the band on purpose?" Wen Xingze became more and more confused. Did suona become an exclusive instrument for national holiday celebrations before he knew it? Would it be a bit too sudden, "And this is not The banquet of Ji Yinghou, you disbanded the band, how can you tell Ji Yinghou?"
Ji Meng is a well-known woman in the history of Chinese film. In Wen Xingze's guess, she must be the kind of woman who is full of poetry and calligraphy, has a particularly high-end aesthetic taste, and must listen to Vienna masters for music...
Everyone: "..."
Wen Xingze: "..."
Wait a minute, who was he talking to just now
"I thought they were too expensive, and they didn't play well, as if they didn't want me to live forever." The voice owner who had just talked to Wen Xingze walked out of the crowd, and the crowd consciously parted ways , it was a woman holding a white cat, "It's better to listen to the suona, it's cool."
... It turned out to be Ji Meng himself!
Ji Meng is over 50 years old this year and is well maintained. Even though the years have left many marks on the corners of her eyes, it actually made her show a different kind of charm and bearing, beautiful and free.
She wore a tailored red dress, and in her arms was a fat white cat licking its paws listlessly. When Ji Meng walked down the spiral staircase, the juniors on the first floor all stared at her blankly, feeling admiration and a little fear when facing the seniors.
Ji Meng walked up to Wen Xingze, Wen Xingze didn't know what to do for a while, so he leaned over and kissed his hand.
This made Ji Mengle bloom. Although Ji Meng is from Tianjin, she married an Englishman. She quite likes this kind of gentlemanly etiquette.
Everyone looked at Ji Meng anxiously, even though most of the elders present were good friends with Ji Meng, but they still didn't dare to act rashly when they met Ji Yinghou herself.
Ji Meng looked around, laughed, clapped her hands and announced, "What are you doing in a daze? Let's eat, wait for me and Xiaowen to talk about cross talk with you all? We forgot what we're here tonight?"
Wen Xingze continued casually: "Isn't that right. Can you tell me?"
Ji Meng: "?"
Everyone: "?"
"Hey," Ji Meng felt as if he was meeting his opponent, "To make a long story short, we are here today to celebrate our good friends from childhood to adulthood..."
Everyone feels that the DNA is starting to move.
Wen Xingze interrupted the casting of the spell in time: "What is this all about! Let people eat quickly!"
Ji Meng: "Okay, parents who need food and clothing, remember to buy a ticket and refuse to go whoring for nothing."
Wen Xingze: "Thank you for listening."
Then Wen Xingze and Ji Meng made a gesture of bowing at the curtain call.
"..."
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Everyone roared with laughter!
The slightly embarrassing atmosphere just now dissipated immediately. Everyone didn't expect Ji Meng to have such a personality before. At the same time, I couldn't help but look at Wen Xingze differently again in my heart. This adaptability, this emotional intelligence, is really not comparable to ordinary people.
Everyone scattered around, looking for food and friends. Of course, Wen Xingze couldn't continue sticking next to Ji Meng—even though he came here for Ji Meng tonight, it is obviously not a suitable occasion to ask for advice. Wen Xingze Xingze intends to wait for a suitable opportunity later:
"Sister, then I'll go eat first too."
Ji Meng who called her sister again was elated. There should be no woman who would not want to be called sister by a handsome guy. Not to mention how happy she was, she said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, just be your own home."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Xingze turned around, a paw suddenly landed on his coat and grabbed Wen Xingze's hood:
"Meow—"
Wen Xingze: "?"
Wen Xingze slammed on the brakes again and again, turned around and squatted down, staring at the white cat in Ji Meng's arms.
This cat Ji Meng has been raising for more than 20 years. It is a stray cat who came home from a ham sausage on the side of the road when filming a movie. It is a Linqing lion cat with different pupils. Ji Meng loves this cat very much, like a baby, but the cat's condition doesn't look very good - the white hair is very dull, and the whole cat looks sick, as if sick.
"Is it sick?" Wen Xingze couldn't help asking, and the cat obediently handed the meat pad to Wen Xingze's hand to be rua.
"I have a cold, and I don't like to eat or drink water for several days." When Ji Meng mentioned this, she became sad. "I have seen a private veterinarian several times, and they all said that Ji Mituan has a cold. Take some Su Nuo and be careful." Just keep warm…”
It's winter now, and it's normal for an elderly cat to catch a cold. Their cat, Ji Mituan, doesn't like to wear clothes, so Ji Meng can only hug him for artificial warmth. But I have been taking medicine for so long, and I have never heard of keeping warm for a moment, but my illness is still not cured.
"...it's okay." Ji Meng shook her head, smiled, and realized that it was useless to talk to Wen Xingze, and Xiao Wen was not a professional veterinarian. Not to mention professional veterinarians.
Ji Mituan dragged his throat: "Meow—"
This cat is already in his twenties. According to the conversion of human age, he is already equivalent to a centenarian...an old cat. Wen Xingze leaned down, and who would have thought that the white cat suddenly stretched out its claws and patted Wen Xingze's head indiscriminately.
In the next second, two snow-white animal ears grew out of Wen Xingze's head.
Fluffy, soft, trembling in the air.
Wen Xingze: "..."
Ji Meng: "..."
Wen Xingze: "Hush."
Once a stranger and second acquaintance, before other people noticed this, Wen Xingze covered his ears, squatted down, and heard the white cat yelp once:
"Meow—you human brat, can you understand me now meow?"
Wen Xingze never expected that the animal ears were not decorations, and he could understand the cat's words. !
Ji Mituan's pair of golden and blue pupils blinked, and finally some radiance emerged from the sleepiness: "Meow, I'm so mad, I don't have a cold at all, meow, those people talk nonsense to my master, and don't let me eat well The snacks I eat don’t let me catch butterflies on the windowsill…”
Wen Xingze thought it was very long-winded, but out of respect for his elders, he patiently listened to these complaints and non-coherent chatter.
"You don't have a cold? What's the matter? You look listless." Wen Xingze asked when Ji Mituan finally stopped talking.
"Of course I don't have a cold, meow," the white cat licked its paw nonchalantly, "I'm just dying, meow."
Wen Xingze was stunned.
The longest lifespan of a cat is indeed only twenty years. Unlike humans, many animals in nature have a premonition of their own death in advance.
It's rare for Ji Meng to see Ji Mituan look so energetic. He looked down at her happily. The old white cat obediently raised his head and licked Ji Meng's cheek, then: "Meow... bah bah, the smell of liquid foundation."
Wen Xingze: "..."
Ji Meng was even more pleasantly surprised: "Jimi Tuan has never licked me." Cats are different from dogs, not every cat likes to lick humans.
Ji Mituan: "Meow! Meow..."
Wen Xingze listened carefully.
Ji Meng didn't speak anymore either, she seemed to feel something, and left absolute quiet time for Wen Xingze and Baimao. After about five minutes, the white cat stopped talking, but lay back obediently in Ji Meng's arms, and the animal ears on Wen Xingze's head also returned to their original state.
Ji Meng: "How to say?"
"It wants to eat ham sausage," Wen Xingze said, "the kind you gave it when you first met it."
The salt in ham sausage is actually not good for the cat's kidneys, but Ji Mituan didn't like cat food for several days, Ji Meng didn't even care that he was still on the way to the banquet, so he immediately called his assistant to buy ham sausage.
The assistant didn't dare to be negligent, and soon came back with the ham sausage. Ji Meng just peeled off the ham sausage, and Ji Mituan, who hadn't wanted to eat for several days, opened his mouth and started to gobble it up!
The two ham sausages went down, and the white cat regained its energy all of a sudden, and was even able to get off the ground and walk by itself. It stretched on the ground, hooked Gouwen Xingze's leg with its tail, circled Ji Meng twice, and then suddenly went upstairs again.
They hurried to follow.
Jimi Tuan went straight to the third floor with a clear destination. After turning around in every corner, he bit out a worn-out wool ball out of nowhere, and played with Ji Meng lively like a kitten.
"Xiaowen, thank you," Ji Jimeng said, not to mention how happy he was, "I heard from them before that you know a lot of things. I didn't expect you to be able to cure the disease of rice balls."
Wen Xingze didn't know what to say, his heart felt sour, and he suddenly couldn't bear to read any more: "I... I really didn't do anything, then, I'll go down first."
The life of a cat is very short. Even if the owner takes good care of it, it can live for more than 20 years at most.
All creatures live on their own time scale, and for cats, twenty years is a lifetime. A cat's life is too short for a human.
—What about the life of human beings for the creatures in the universe? What about androids
On this winter night, Wen Xingze finally realized clearly that he could only live for a hundred years at most.
In the definition of robot parents, it is considered puppy love before the age of two hundred. And the dragon clan, the blood clan, the mermaid, the bionic... his parents, his lover, the most important people in his life, all have a lifespan that seems endless.
The coldness of the long river of time clung to Wen Xingze's bones little by little, on this night when he was still very young.
One day he will leave them, and this time, there will be no reunion after a long separation.
"Xiao Wen," Wen Xingze's thoughts were interrupted by Ji Meng's call from behind, she said, "Wait a minute."
Wen Xingze turned around.
——Downstairs is the bustling lights of the banquet, upstairs is only softly covered with a layer of light from the moon and wall lamps, and the night is as cool as water. The old chubby white cat rolled on the ground biting the ball of wool, then went to lick Ji Meng's palm.
Ji Meng looks at the cat.
After a while, she looked up at Wen Xingzhe again.
Then she smiled and asked:
"The rice ball is leaving me soon, isn't it?"
Many cats that have never rubbed and licked people in their entire lives will suddenly start licking their owners before they die, which is equivalent to helping the owner to 'groom'.
This is an unreasonable instinctive behavior. It may be to help the owner to dress up beautifully, or it may be to want to keep his own smell on the owner for a longer time.
They still want to play previous games with the owner, and want to eat the food they ate when they first met the owner.
The emotions of animals are not as rich as humans, but Wen Xingze sometimes thinks that they must be so reluctant to have such an instinct... It seems that they want to go back to the past a long time ago, change back to their childhood appearance, and live with each other. The most important person, meet again.
But the hand of time has always been unselfish, and after it is tightened, it will not relax a little because of anyone's prayers.
"I actually guessed it, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." Ji Meng took a glass of red wine and stood by the window, while Jimi Tuan, who was tired from playing, lay in her arms and snored.
"It rained heavily that year, and it hid under my car. It was so dirty and pitiful, and it would follow whoever called it..."
Ji Meng's eye sockets were a little red, and soon she blinked to hide that emotion.
Ji Meng said that these actually don't need to be answered, so Wen Xingze just listened quietly.
"...Xiao Wen, I still want to thank you." After Ji Meng finished speaking, she silently looked out of the window. She had slowly sorted out her emotions and could face everything calmly.
Suddenly, Ji Meng looked at Wen Xingze and said with emotion: "Sure enough, Chi Yan likes the person, Chi Yan's vision is really good."
Wen Xingze: "?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't tell others," Ji Meng said, "I guessed—your family Chi Yingdi called me several times today, asking me to take care of you, it seems that I guessed right .”
Ji Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "Come on, let's chat."
"Really want to talk?" Wen Xingze immediately felt a little embarrassed, the tips of his ears turned a little red, "Uh, I'm indeed in a relationship with Mr. Chi, we started as—"
"???" Ji Meng was caught off guard and his mouth was full of dog food, and he almost died of laughter, "Hahahahaha, let me tell you about the bottleneck you encountered in filming Lao Li's movie." Who said you have talked about your love experience
Wen Xingze: "..." This is too embarrassing!
"Why is this child so cute? Where did Chi Yan pick up such a treasure?" Ji Meng pretended to call Chi Yan, but Wen Xingze managed to dissuade him.
Wen Xingze knew that Ji Meng was planning to help him, so he was very grateful, and of course he didn't refuse much. He told Ji Meng carefully about the situation he encountered during filming, especially the scene with Chi Yan.
Ji Meng thought about it, and simply said: "You play a part for me, here, this part."
Wen Xingze acted as he said.
"Xiao Wen, you are indeed very talented," Ji Meng made no secret of his admiration for the younger junior, "... Oh! I know!"
"After all, you just started making movies. I know your modern state... You are pursuing 'skill' and 'perfection', but instead you forget your own existence."
This is a state that many actors will have. The higher the talent, the easier it is to be like this.
No one's acting is perfect.
When challenging a difficult role, some good actors may try to clear themselves, completely turn themselves into an empty shell, and then enter the soul of that character.
This method is not necessarily wrong, but for a child with a distinctive personality like Wen Xingze, it is more suitable for him to integrate himself with the character. He is a very typical experiential school.
Chi Yan and Wen Xingze are good at acting in different directions. "Your Best Actor Chi can teach you basic skills, but it really can't solve your predicament."
... As expected of Ji Yinghou, she analyzed Wen Xingze's problem clearly in just a few words. Wen Xingze immediately felt that the fog covering his eyes had lifted a little, but he hadn't completely understood yet.
Then, Ji Meng called the assistant again, and after a while, the assistant brought a notebook.
"This is some insights and experiences I recorded when I was filming in the early years," Ji Meng said, "Read it when you have time, it should be helpful."
"...!" Wen Xingze was overwhelmed immediately, and he didn't know how to thank her, "Thank you Senior Ji, when "Dust Planet" wins the best actor award, I will treat you to dinner..."
Wen Xingze is really a confident kid.
Ji Meng was drinking water and almost choked. The more he watched, the more he liked Wen Xingze: "Pfft—okay, I'll wait!"
Wen Xingze: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Ji Meng was surprised: "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Wen Xingze said immediately. After speaking, his stomach growled.
Wen Xingze: "..."
Ji Meng: "..."
Ji Meng was overjoyed and drove Wen Xingze away to cook.
"Cub Cub Development Plan".
"Ding Dong, congratulations parents, the current side mission has been successfully completed!"
"In order to facilitate the opening of the travel system and the smooth fulfillment of the hidden ending conditions, parents are allowed to apply for travel within a limited time. The countdown is ten or nine... Congratulations to the parents of the beastman family, the reservation is successful!"
"..."
Linshui Mansion.
There were still many people on the first floor waiting for Wen Xingze to play the suona. Wen Xingze was afraid that he would be besieged as soon as he went there, so he went to the second floor. The entire Linshui mansion is for Ji Yinghou. The third floor is the bedroom, outdoor swimming pool and garden, and the second floor is the living room.
Wen Xingze quietly took the dinner plate on the first floor and went to the balcony on the second floor.
I am not active in cooking, and my brain has problems.
Wen Xingze was actually hungry a long time ago, but because he was thinking about some propositions about life and discussing acting skills with Ji Meng, he forgot to be hungry for a while. As soon as the busy work was over, that feeling came back immediately, Wen Xingze was about to starve to death.
The cooking skills of Ji Yinghou's family are nothing to say. Wen Xingze doesn't need to go on a diet deliberately in "Dust Planet", as long as he maintains his original figure, so he took two slices of roast duck on the first floor.
The skin of Shanghaoguo charcoal-roasted duck is ruddy and shiny, exuding a mouth-watering crispy aroma. One bite, the meat is fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside... It's a pity that there are only two slices. Wen Xingze is immersed in this rare delicacy, and he is still unsatisfied after eating it.
Wen Xingze turned around, just about to go down and add more, but saw someone who never thought he would see here.
—It turned out to be Xu Baijing.
"Wen Xingze, long time no see." Standing behind him, Xu Baijing said coldly, "I never expected to see me here."
Xu Baijing looked a lot haggard, apparently life was not going well, and he was no longer the same extravagant style as before, as if he sneaked into the Linshui mansion to serve dishes.
Pat, a drop of water fell from the terrace.
Time seemed to stand still.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... a full five seconds later.
Wen Xingze's eyes showed a hint of confusion: "... sorry, are you?"
Xu Baijing: "..."
Xu Baijing was about to die of anger: "I am Xu Baijing!!!"
Wen Xingze: "?"
"Fuck, you're definitely faking it," Xu Baijing said through gritted teeth, "We used to have a variety show, you can't forget... I am the protagonist of "The Rich Koi Super Rich"!"
Wen Xingze's confusion did not seem to be fake: "??? What are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending, I really want to tear your face apart," Xu Baijing suddenly stopped being angry, and sighed, "I know, and you also know that this world is a book... I won't fight against you again, you You can rest assured."
Wen Xingze: "Did you fight against me before? I'm sorry, because it really doesn't matter to me, I don't even remember."
This is the truth...
Xu Baijing: "I fucking—"
Wen Xingze felt that Xu Baijing was still the same as before, and he really didn't have much courage. If he said a few words to him, his face would be distorted in anger.
But surprisingly, this time Xu Baijing endured it and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, and I probably won't see you again in the future. I'll take this opportunity to tell you the truth."
Wen Xingze was startled: "The truth?"
The parallel world they live in is a book called "The Rich Koi is Super Rich", the main character is Xu Baijing, and Wen Xingze is the little cannon fodder in it—he thinks this is the truth. unknown
Xu Baijing opened a can of beer, walked up to Wen Xingze, and said, "Actually, I'm not the protagonist, I'm wearing a book."
Wen Xingze: "I guessed it."
After he awakened his self-awareness, he vaguely realized that "Great Koi Super Rich" is actually a best-selling novel. If the protagonist of this best-selling novel is really Xu Baijing, it would be impossible to become popular.
"Where is the original Xu Baijing?" Wen Xingze asked him, "Original owner, he was occupied by you, and you robbed him of the life and relatives he deserved. You owe him an apology."
Xu Baijing laughed at himself, and said: "There is no such thing as the original Xu Baijing... Wen Xingze, the protagonist of this book was originally you."
Wen Xingze: "... ???"
Grass.
This is what he did not expect.
"I have read this book, you have five adoptive fathers in this book—because of a certain agreement, they all decided to adopt you, and with the help of the five fathers, your life went smoothly and you reached the top soon lock up."
"When I crossed over, I was just a nobody," Xu Baijing said, "I... jealous, I don't understand why, you were born to have those, if I had the conditions like you, I would definitely be able to be the protagonist of this story. "
So, Xu Baijing, who came through the book, dropped the baby in swaddling clothes. It is logical that he has everything that he once envied.
But the result is obvious, he failed.
And the plot that Wen Xingze saw after awakening his self-awareness was already modified by the intervention of Xu Baijing, the book walker. resources, and how to deal with several adoptive fathers in all kinds of ambiguities are all the plot trends after Xu Baijing intervened through the book—if Wen Xingze had not awakened his self-awareness.
That's not what the book was supposed to be. It seems that I really blamed the author.
Wen Xingze: "..."
Wen Xingze was shocked.
How can it be so cheesy...
"I've lost everything now. There is no place for me in the entertainment industry. My five fathers were all disappointed in me and gave up on me." Xu Baijing laughed at himself, "I came here today because of my friend's favor. It must have been personally invited by Ji Yinghou."
"...I'm sorry," Xu Baijing actually bowed deeply to Wen Xingze, and he said in that tone of reluctance to part with you, "I stole your life. If you want, I can give you everything back. I can give you everything with me." of five fathers said that what they should really adopt is—”
Wen Xingze: "???"
Imagine that Xu Sichao and Xu Bianzhou are his father, Wen Xingze is about to explode, and I feel goosebumps all over my body: "No no no no no no, I have parents, I really don't care … Ugh, no need!!!”
Xu Baijing felt that he was being stubborn. How could anyone not care about it? Xu Baijing smiled sadly: "How could you not need it? They are very powerful. With such parents, you will definitely be like a tiger with wings..."
Muse Parents: ""
Are the humans floating or are they unable to hold a knife? !
What bastard, how dare you want to be their cub's father? !
