After interrupting the call, Ruan Yu frowned, opened Xu Huaisong's WeChat dialog box, swiped back and forth a few times, then put down the phone, and picked it up again after a while.
Is it simply out of power, or something else
Xu Huaisong is a person with a history of overwork. Most of the time before he arrived in the United States, he didn't have a good rest due to jet lag. He had a late night snack last night, and today he has been busy with the trial for another day. Is there something wrong with his health?
How can I go to bed after six o'clock.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and her eyes gradually became scorched.
Several other screenwriters in the car asked her if something was wrong.
Ruan Yu shook his head to indicate no, but when he lowered his eyes, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
She is so far away from Xu Huaisong, and she doesn't know his friends, how can she confirm his safety.
She pinched her phone and flipped through it repeatedly, when her fingertips suddenly stopped on Lu Shenglan's WeChat dialog box.
The strong anxiety made her lose the room for hesitation. She pressed the cursor and typed a line: "Miss Lu, if you disturb me in the middle of the night, I can't get in touch with Huai Song, and I'm a little worried about him. I don't know if it's convenient for you to ask him for me Roommate, is he in good health?"
The road view outside the car window reversed rapidly, and Ruan Yu pressed the send button.
But Lu Shenglan probably doesn't use WeChat in general, so he didn't reply for a while.
The car got off the highway and drove into Suzhou city. Ruan Yu didn't receive a message from her until she drove to the gate of No. 1 Middle School: "Wait a minute, I'll get in touch and have a look."
She let out a sigh of relief, got out of the car, and saw Xu Huaishi standing at the school gate waving at her: "Sister!"
Ruan Yu was stunned, greeted several screenwriters, and then went forward: "It's cold, why are you here?"
"Wait for you!" He said and looked behind her, "Aren't the actors with you?"
She smiled helplessly: "The actors will arrive at night, why don't you continue to wait?"
Xu Huaishi took her arm: "No, I'm not afraid of missing big stars if I follow you."
Ruan Yu glanced at her, she held one hand, and took out his phone with the other to look through it.
"What are you looking at, sister?"
"I can't contact your brother, so don't worry."
"Huh? When did you start not being able to get in touch?"
"About an hour ago, someone called him and transferred the voice mail."
"Well, but I called him two hours ago."
Ruan Yu was taken aback, it should be not long before Zhou Jun contacted Xu Huaisong.
She asked, "Is he all right?"
Xu Huaishi snorted in a low voice: "It's okay, it just sounds sleepy. I woke him up, and he was very angry. He said his phone was running out of battery and told me to hang up."
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
She really fell asleep, fell asleep and ran out of battery, so she was so concerned about it, what did she think about? He even contacted Lu Shenglan.
She was about to send a message to tell her not to contact her, but she sent a message: "I asked, his roommate said he was sleeping in the room, can you wake him up?"
Ruan Yu hurriedly replied: "No need, let him sleep well, please."
The stone in her heart fell to the ground, she felt relieved at once, turned her head to look at Xu Huaishi's knee-length school uniform skirt, and asked, "Isn't it cold to wear so little?"
"Isn't this the film crew coming to shoot the scene for the school's New Year's Day fireworks show? We don't have classes in the afternoon. My classmates and I signed up for the group performance in the evening. Of course, we have to dress better."
"There are thousands of people on the playground, and it's the middle of the night. When the fireworks explode, who can recognize who?"
"Then sister, why did you wear a short skirt at the fireworks show eight years ago?"
Ruan Yu choked. This is the sadness that every detail of the relationship history is made public.
She sighed: "If I had known that even if I was wrapped into a bear, your brother would like me, I wouldn't be so stupid to suffer from the cold."
The two chatted all the way and walked in.
Xu Huaishi said enthusiastically, "Sister, are you going to the playground now?"
Ruan Yu nodded.
"Isn't it going to be frozen until night? My brother is so distressed."
"For work, I posted Nuan Baobao, it's fine."
"The actors haven't arrived yet, and the staff are still setting up the venue. You're just sitting there when you go. Why don't you go shopping with me. In the evening, I'll invite a few classmates to celebrate the festival together and treat you to a barbecue!"
Ruan Yu shook his head: "You can just go with your classmates. Our director is a well-known vicious person in the industry. It's not good to ask him for leave on the first day."
Xu Huaishi's face was full of disappointment: "But I have already boasted to everyone, saying that there is my prospective sister-in-law in the crew..."
She was called out by the words "quasi-sister-in-law" with a sense of responsibility and mission, and said silently, "Then let me ask."
Ruan Yu turned around and called the director. Before he could fully express his intention, the male voice said with a smile: "Hey, you came so early. Maybe I forgot to notify you. You are here at ten o'clock in the evening. Just get there."
She choked: "Then I now..."
"Don't come to the playground to suffer from the cold when it's so cold, and let you know when the actors come."
Ruan Yu hung up the phone, looking at Xu Huaishi's expectant face: "How is it, director, can you talk?"
She nodded blankly.
What a gold medal director, what a vicious person, obviously gentle like her father.
In the evening, Ruan Yu left the school with Xu Huaishi and a group of students participating in the group performance, and went to a nearby barbecue restaurant.
The simple and unadorned decoration exudes a warm atmosphere. Barbecue, carbonated drinks, chattering students, and childish truth-or-dare games, all of these together filled the gap without Xu Huaisong by her side, and made her feel happy. There is a real feeling of celebrating the festival, and even the heart seems to have become younger.
Following their quarrel until nine o'clock in the evening, she received a message from Xu Huaisong: "I woke up, what are you doing?"
She was completely relieved, talked to Xu Huaishi beside her, then got up and left her seat, went outside the barbecue restaurant, and dialed his voice call.
The call was connected within seconds, and she was shivering in the cold wind, but with a smile on her face: "I'm eating barbecue with Huai Shi and her classmates. It's nice to be young, I want to go back to seventeen."
Xu Huaisong smiled lowly, his voice a little hoarse after waking up: "What's so good about being seventeen, you're not even under the legal age."
Ruan Yu was taken aback, and just about to ask him what the legal age is, he heard him say, "Old Baigan can't drink."
"..." He was also addicted to drinking.
During the silence, a whistle rang through the phone.
Ruan Yu asked in surprise, "Are you outside?"
"Well, drive out and have breakfast."
"Then pick up my voice, drive hard, and talk about it later."
"good."
After hanging up the voice, Ruan Yu looked at the time and asked the students to go back to school together. The playground has been set up in place, with bright lights on all sides. Several huge cameras stand on the green field.
Ruan Yu said goodbye to Xu Huaishi, said hello to the director, walked to the actor's shed, and saw Li Shican and Sun Miaohan wearing the school uniforms of Suzhou City No. 1 Middle School, holding scripts and playing against each other.
She sat down opposite them, and just rubbed her hands when she saw Li Shican handing over a hot water bottle: "I have a lot, here you are."
She thanked her and asked casually, "How are you doing?"
Sun Miaohan patted her chest: "No problem!"
Li Shican also nodded: "Okay."
Seeing their overconfident appearance, Ruan Yu didn't seem particularly relieved, and warned: "Don't look at the six-character line of the male lead in this scene, but the emotion contained in it is the most abundant in the whole movie. .It’s like the feeling of pumping a fountain pump to the extreme and then suddenly suppressing it on the verge of explosion... The externalization without lines is the most difficult, and I wonder why this part was filmed as soon as the machine was turned on.”
Sun Miaohan hurriedly said: "Maybe it's to save money, and there are ready-made group performances and atmosphere props."
Ruan Yu nodded, frowned again, and whispered, "But why do you have to wait for zero o'clock?"
The weather is not too bad for a while. Wouldn't it be better to finish filming early and call it a day? She still wants to hook up with Xu Huaisong.
Sun Miaohan smiled "hehe", scratched her head and couldn't answer, so she bumped Li Shican with her elbow.
Li Shican said "Oh" and explained: "Uncle Cen pays more attention to the sense of ritual and thinks it is a good start, so he asked the director to take the first scene at zero point. I think this has a good meaning, right Miaohan?"
"That's right, it's pretty good!"
Ruan Yu blinked dryly, picked up the phone and complained to Xu Huaisong: "This crew is amazing, from investors to directors to actors, everything seems abnormal."
Huai Song: "When you find that the whole world is abnormal, you should reflect on whether it is yourself who is abnormal."
Nephrite: "What are you doing, do you hide a knife in your mouth?"
Huai Song: "It's a joy in life to annoy your girlfriend and then coax her back."
Nephrite: "There seems to be something wrong with you, maybe it's me who is abnormal..."
Ruan Yu put down his phone and waited for the zero o'clock sadly.
Until 11:30, thousands of extra performers were finally called to the playground by the director to take their seats. Immediately after 11:50, the two protagonists also walked into the green field.
The staff went back and forth to confirm the location of the lights and fireworks. At fifty-five minutes, someone called Ruan Yu's name: "Sister Ruan, please take a look at the viewing angle."
Ruan Yu was about to spend New Year's Eve with Xu Huaisong, when he heard the sound, he put down his phone, got up and went over in a daze.
Why should she look at the viewing angle? She is not "Director Ruan".
Ruan Yu was led to the center of the playground by the staff, and after listening to the director's technical terms that she didn't understand, she finally understood a sentence: "Little Ruan, the first scene does not feature the leading role, but the big scene, you just stand here and feel it." The following scene symbols do not conform to the original work."
"..."
Although I have never made a movie, why do you think this mode is weird? Ruan Yu asked cautiously: "Director, this is the center point under my feet, won't I be photographed standing here?"
The director said "no" and explained a bunch of technical terms to her.
She was stunned for a moment, and by the time she realized it, it was fifty-nine minutes.
The director slapped his thigh with an "oops" and raised his horn and shouted: "Countdown is ready." After speaking, he solemnly explained to her, "Be sure to stand at this point, raise your head, and feel it with your heart!"
"..."
Ruan Yu began to wonder if she had encountered some weird paddling crew.
Under the direction of the director, the ensemble performers surrounded her in a circle, and she stood in the center of the playground, looking at the dark blue sky, as if she had been driven to a shelf.
The Milky Way spreads overhead, and the sky is full of stars.
The countdown started on all sides: "Five, four, three, two..."
When the word "one" fell, the fireworks exploded, and the fiery trees and silver flowers suddenly rose into the sky, falling in colorful colors in the sky.
At the same moment, a hand held Ruan Yu.
She almost screamed out, "Ah" came out of her mouth, but she turned her head and saw the owner of the hand first.
In the flickering lights and shadows, she saw this man wearing a decent suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking down at her with a smile on his head.
Xu Huaisong.
At this moment, Xu Huaisong should be more than 10,000 kilometers away.
Ruan Yu opened his mouth slightly, he was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, he turned his head stiffly, looked at all the people smiling and looking at them, and reacted.
Movies aren't made that way at all.
There has never been any magical crew, only the hearts of the people who have been bought. Thousands of hearts were bought.
She stared at Xu Huaisong, her heart beating fast without knowing it, and it became a frequency with the fireworks above her head.
But this time, he didn't let her go until the fireworks burned out.
As if anticipating what was going to happen next, Ruan Yu swallowed nervously.
There were thousands of people around, but none of them made a sound. Everyone was waiting for Xu Huaisong to speak.
Then, they saw him holding the hand of his heroine under the light as bright as day and saying: "On this day eight years ago, I lied here to the girl I like. Eight years later On this day, I lied to her again, and let more than a thousand people lie with me for a day. So many lies, in order to explain the first one, in order to tell her, I had a mouth full of lies, but only one from beginning to end. A heart that loves her."
Xu Huaisong smiled when he said this, took out a dark blue ring box, opened it, and knelt down on one knee facing her.
The crowd on all sides finally couldn't help but exclaim and cheer.
Ruan Yu's nose was sore for a while, and his eyes flickered with crystal. The diamond ring and him reflected in his eyes seemed to be more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
Xu Huaisong looked up at her, and continued: "It took me eight years to go around and go back to this day, to come to her again, and to tell her that the next eight years, eighteen years, eight years For ten years, I don't want to be separated from her anymore. Ruan Yu, will you marry me?"
— Ruan Yu, will you marry me
When this moment didn't happen, she thought that, as a romance writer, she should have many ingenious answers to this sentence.
Romantic, special, unconventional.
But when this moment really came, she lost all ability to think in the silence of the world.
It's like being able to respond to "I love you", it seems that only "I love you too", she can't say any unique words.
Ordinary and insignificant, when they met love, they finally fell into a clichéd ending.
And she, like all the loved girls in the world, burst into tears at this moment, nodded solemnly to the person staring at her, and told him: "I am willing."
