Chapter Twenty-Five: Finally Missed
Qiao Xiang didn't know whether to comfort Ding Yao or scold her bastard father, so he was stunned and said, "No wonder I think that Miss He looks a little like you at first glance." ”
Hearing this, Ding Yao remembered the past again, and her heart ached, if it weren't for her three-point similar face to He Yurou, Pei Jinghan wouldn't have noticed him at the beginning, maybe everything would not have happened.....
She laughed for a long time before raising her hand to wipe her tears, and asked angrily: "I'm the school flower of the Beijing Drama Academy, can you tell me where she looks like me?"
"The eyes, it's just that the feeling between the eyebrows and eyes is very similar, but if you look closely, she is much less faint than you. ”
Ding Yao nodded thoughtfully: Since this is the case, the eye makeup part should be more focused in the future, and it is good to distinguish it from her.
After dinner, the two took a taxi back to the school, walked all the way back to the dormitory along the north gate, and when they passed by the library, Qiao Xiang suddenly touched Ding Yao with his elbow: "Jiang Shuo is over there, do you want to go and say hello." ”
In fact, Ding Yao also saw it early in the morning, it was the weekend, most of the students were out, there were not many people on campus on the weekend, and Jiang Shuo's size was already conspicuous, standing on the high steps of the library, it was difficult to pretend not to see.
Ding Yao saw that the other party was standing there motionless and looked at him the same, and handed the bag in his hand to Qiao Xiang: "Help me take it back to the bedroom, and I'll talk to Jiang Shuo about something." ”
"Go on, go on, it's okay to talk about it for as long as you want, it's better to fake it. Qiao Xiang said with a smile and ran away.
Ding Yao walked up the stairs and walked towards Jiang Shuo.
"I heard that you have taken on a new play, congratulations. ”
"Thank you. ”
The two have never been in touch since they broke up in Shencheng that night, and now when they suddenly see each other, they seem to be a little restrained, Jiang Shuo simply said two words and stopped talking, and his lips pursed into a line.
Ding Yao stood there and looked at him, he hadn't seen him for more than half a month, he seemed to have lost weight, and the coat that originally fit became wide, Ding Yao remembered that the last time he saw him wearing this coat, they had just known each other, and he had a sunny smile on his face, but now, .....
Ding Yao lowered her head guiltily.
"Can we still be friends?"
Being friends? He really didn't think about it. Jiang Shuo looked at Ding Yao's lowered eyelashes and was speechless for a while.
Ding Yao couldn't wait for the other party's reply, so he had to say again: "I never thought of hurting you, but now, it doesn't make sense for me to explain, I just want to say, I'm sorry." ”
"If you say I'm sorry, I want to push all the responsibilities away. Jiang Shuo pulled a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
With the passage of time, Jiang Shuo gradually withdrew from the role of "Pure White Love", and his feelings for Ding Yao became more and more calm and rational, coupled with that quarrel, he has realized that they may be really inappropriate between them, but the unwillingness in his heart makes him uneasy.
"You're the first woman I've ever liked, and you know how happy I was the day you promised me? You said you didn't want to hurt me, but I tried so hard to be with you, what did you give me?"
Ding Yao was dumbfounded.
It is far more painful to have gained and lost than to have never received. At this moment, she hated herself for provoking Jiang Shuo in the first place, if he was a veteran in the love field, maybe everyone would have ended up with an ambiguous relationship tacitly for the sake of filming, but he was as clean as a blank sheet of paper emotionally, which made Ding Yao's guilt even heavier.
"The problem between us is not because of others, but because we started too hastily. Ding Yao's low voice sounded.
"I promised you at the beginning, I didn't think about it, we didn't know each other well enough, and our personalities and backgrounds were too different, I knew that we would definitely have conflicts, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, so we quarreled that day, and I directly chose to end it, because I was afraid that in the future, we would wear out each other's good feelings. ”
"Please forgive me for withdrawing, emotionally I am a timid person, I am afraid of paying, afraid of being hurt, once I see that the signs are not right, I will turn around and run, but even so, you still moved me, the night I promised you, I remember everything you said, you said that you will try to accompany me, and all the money you earn in the future will be handed over to me, all of this, I remember. ”
That was the first man to move her, how could she forget, and how could she bear to deceive again.
"So I took the courage to nod to you that night. ”
Ding Yao said this, her voice was a little choked, maybe there were too many things happening today, she was a little emotional, and she talked about the vulnerability that she usually refused to show.
"But my courage is only enough to say a good word, and it will not stand any test. So the first time we had a conflict, I ran away. ”
Jiang Shuo was stunned.
He had maliciously speculated about Ding Yao, thinking that she had ulterior motives for refusing to agree to break off contact with Pei Jingxuan, but after calming down, he knew that he was wrong to blame her, with Pei Jingxuan's character, if he really fell in love with Ding Yao, he would definitely pursue Ding Yao with all kinds of tricks, and even tried to sign her to Xingyao Entertainment, but the fact is that since the stills of "Pure White Love" were released, those posts on the Internet begging for Ding Yao have been quiet and nothing.
He thought that Ding Yao said that she broke up because she didn't like herself, but he didn't think about the root of the problem.
As early as Ding Yao's mother was hospitalized, he should have known that she was an extremely insecure person, with a family surrounded by walls, only dependent on her mother, and she cared more about the protection of reality than about nihilistic love, but he didn't care, and he didn't even explore, he just blindly thought that she was too sophisticated, and the words she said when she rejected herself were just excuses.
She treats herself sincerely, otherwise she wouldn't have cooked porridge early in the morning and rushed from Shangjing to Shencheng, just to surprise herself.
When she found that other women were spending the night in her room, she chose to trust herself and listen to her own explanations, while she was furious and even suspicious of her by the provocation of others' words.
Jiang Shuo's face turned pale, and it was only now that he suddenly realized how bad he was.
It was he who pushed her away!
"Don't say it again!" Jiang Shuo said sharply.
His heart ached, and he was afraid that if he listened to it again, he would be ashamed and unable to face her.
Ding Yao let out a long breath, he did say too much.
She noticed that Jiang Shuo's face was a little strange, and whispered: "Then I'll go first, if you don't feel well, rest early." ”
Turning around to leave, Jiang Shuo suddenly grabbed her wrist and said anxiously, "Wait." ”
Ding Yao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shuo suspiciously, seeing that he didn't speak, and then looked at the wrist that was being held tightly by him, Jiang Shuo realized that he was holding too hard.
He hurriedly let go, "I'm sorry for hurting you." ”
"It's okay, what do you want to say?"
Ding Yao's emotions had calmed down, and her voice had returned to normal, and when she asked her like this, Jiang Shuo suddenly didn't know what to say.
Apologize or make amends, or explain what you did?
In a moment of silence, Jiang Shuo knew that he had finally missed her.
"I understand what you said, it's better for us to be friends. ”
Ding Yao was a little surprised, just now he asked him to stop talking, as if he was going to break off friendship, why did he turn his face and say that he wanted to be friends?
She pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Jiang Shuo didn't want to let her go, he took on a new play and was about to join the group, and this time it would be a few months, and the two of them might not have such a quiet time in the future.
Jiang Shuo came back to his senses, thought about it and changed the topic and said: "Recently, several media want to interview you, Director Xu has pushed it for you, the movie will be released soon, and your popularity will increase greatly, you may encounter a lot of problems, you should be mentally prepared in advance." ”
Ding Yao nodded seriously: "I know, thank you for the reminder." ”
Jiang Shuo saw that she was polite and detached, and his heart was astringent, he suppressed the sourness on the tip of his nose and chuckled: "Don't be so polite to me, don't you say that you will mix with me in the future." ”
Hearing this familiar line, Ding Yao's heart that was half hanging finally let go.
"Senior brother will cover me in the future. ”
The atmosphere became a lot more relaxed, and Jiang Shuo said the apology on his lips: "Yaoyao, I'm sorry ....."
Ding Yao was stunned again, thinking that he suddenly spoke out just now and didn't let herself continue to speak, she seemed to understand something.
Many times in life, they are often so helpless, they obviously don't want each other to be hurt, but they hurt each other because of their kindness.
However, Ding Yao was still warmed by Jiang Shuo, and she shook her head: "None of us is wrong, it's just that the time is wrong, don't think too much." ”
Jiang Shuo smiled: "I will work hard." ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and hugged her, and the two of them standing at the door of the library had already attracted the attention of passing students, and this action attracted the attention of all passers-by.
Fortunately, it was a weekend night, and there were not many people in the school, otherwise I was afraid that it would have attracted onlookers by now.
Ding Yao didn't want to be too noticeable, and was about to make a reminder, Jiang Shuo let her go at the right time.
"It's getting late, you go back, take care. ”
After saying this, the two left separately, Ding Yao thought that Jiang Shuo's voice would not be heard again until the movie premiere press conference, but he didn't expect that only two days later, he suddenly called.
The phone was connected, and Jiang Shuo asked straight to the point: "Yaoyao, what do you think about the brokerage company? Last time, I heard you say that you don't plan to sign a contract for the time being, is it to tell others, or do you really have such thoughts?"
Ding Yao didn't know why Jiang Shuo suddenly asked this, but she didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's not that I don't have no plans, it's just that I'm still a little transparent at the moment, and I don't have the capital to negotiate at all, so I want to wait for our movie to be released before considering this matter." ”
Jiang Shuo said: "Your idea is good, but when the movie is released, if you don't sign an economic company and no one helps you build momentum, your attention will definitely be greatly reduced." ”
He is right, Pei Xiwen was able to rely on this film to become popular in her previous life, and Xingyao contributed a lot to her in a series of public relations.
Ding Yao let out an "um" and waited for his next step, Jiang Shuo continued: "Are you interested in joining Fengchen?
Fengchen is Jiang Shuo's agency, although it is not as good as Xingyao in scale, but it is very experienced in star-making, and its artists can pull out one at random, and they all have a place in the entertainment industry.
