Chapter 70: Confrontation and Relief
The summer sun was too scorching, Gu Nanjia was busy looking for a shade, watching the artists and staff shooting under the scorching sun, and felt a little like a world away.
Today is the first day of the micro-film "The Last", and it also happens to be the day when Su Qiming told himself that Shenhai and the hospital have officially reached a cooperation agreement.
I just returned to school last week to complete the graduation defense, and it stands to reason that for a student like Gu Nanjia in the Department of Communication, the thesis required for graduation is not the focus, but the graduation project composed of a group is the most important.
But after all, she is not like other graduates, and the school's recommendation and early employment allow her to participate in the defense with the programs she participated in the production of the company.
I chose entertainment media, so I naturally used the first show I did in Qingfeng to participate, and the thesis also happened to choose the topic of content output and commercial value, and the process was generally quite pleasant.
The only accident was probably the person I had to face after returning to school - Liu Pei.
The other party has disappeared for several days since the last time I went to the company to find myself, which led to a storm of negative news, and I don't know if it was the day when the graduates returned to school to defend themselves, and easily waited for her at school.
"Jiajia, let's talk. It was the first sentence of the day, and it's still a little hard to let go of it when I think about it.
Maybe he was used to the other party following him like a little tail before, and he was suddenly invited by such a formal invitation, and he couldn't refuse it at the first time.
There was no place to sit and chat around the school, so the two walked a long way to find a dessert shop near the subway entrance.
She used to come to this shop a lot when she was in school, or maybe they came a lot for a while.
"First of all, I want to apologize to you for causing you so much trouble. Liu Pei stirred the milk tea in front of him, but his mind was not on it at all.
Gu Nanjia could see that he wanted to take the opportunity to explain everything, so he nodded patiently.
But the other party didn't have the heart to eat, she liked the desserts of this house anyway, especially the matcha ice cream that was special in summer, so she simply ordered a medium portion.
"I'm tired of hearing apologies, things have already happened anyway, and it's useless to say anything now. The refreshing taste of matcha combined with the sweetness of fresh milk makes her tone not sound so stiff.
"I didn't know that the company you signed was actually Shenhai, I always thought it was Qingfeng's, and you didn't say you were going on a business trip, and I haven't seen you go home for a few days..."
"Needless to say. Since the other party believed the rhetoric thrown out by the deep sea, she didn't need to explain any more, "I said a long time ago that we broke up, I don't have to report to you everything, right?"
Gu Nanjia didn't think of the pungent smell of alcohol in the bedroom that Su Qiming was drunk that night, and she suddenly felt relieved of Liu Pei in front of her.
He appeared in Qingfeng twice, both times because of his naivety, he let himself fall into the whirlpool of gossip, and consumed the original guilt in his heart again and again.
simply told the truth: "Liu Pei, don't be so naΓ―ve, I like someone else." β
The other party's hand stirring the milk tea paused, and suddenly raised his head to look her in the eyes.
What kind of expression was it? Anger? Suddenly, Hatred, Surprise? She couldn't read it.
Then she heard the somewhat self-deprecating words: "Since when?"
"It's been a long time, and if you have to say it, you have to start from the last time we quarreled. Gu Nanjia didn't look at him again, trying to make his expression appear unconcerned, and at the same time clenched his fists through the cover of the table.
With what she knew about him, it was time for hysterical questioning, right? Or give herself a slap in the face?
Liu Pei's breathing became heavy, and Gu Nanjia simply closed his eyes, waiting for the other party to vent his anger.
There is no difference between herself and the other party who is right and who is wrong, maybe everyone feels guilty, but she feels that if she really suffers today, she can be much relieved.
As a result, several seconds passed, and the expected slap did not fall, but the other party's emotions calmed down first: "Actually, I guessed, I saw you get into a black Mercedes Benz later." β
The girl let go of her clenched fist and sighed in her heart: "Liu Pei, I know that I am sorry for you, but we really can't go back to the past, so long before, didn't you live well without me?"
Maybe the feelings will be light, three years of pain and seven years of itching, the kind of indifferent and alienated connection between them has long been only supported by habits, Liu Pei actually felt relaxed for a moment.
I have to admit that many of my previous behaviors were just to make myself feel better, and I didn't think from the other party's standpoint.
The girl in front of him is no longer the high school girl he is familiar with, and over the years, the lives of the two have gradually drifted apart, and those deliberate mutual accommodations have long been exhausting, and what he has been waiting for may be her letting go.
picked up the milk tea and took a sip, I don't know if the tea was added a little too much, but I could only taste the bitter taste: "Actually, I don't think we are very suitable, but after so many years, we are a little used to it." β
No one knows how undesirable this sentence is, but it can vaguely distinguish a trace of the strength of a young man of this age.
Gu Nanjia doesn't remember how that day ended in the end, she only remembers that the taste of ice cream is not as delicious as she remembers, and she can't break free from the shackles of this summer's heat.
But this should be a matter of mind, right?
"Nan Jia, are you stunned?" Liu Xi patted her on the shoulder and pulled her out of her memory.
The scheduled shooting for this morning has been completed on the set, and the artists have all started to remove their makeup in twos and threes, ready to continue the second half of the day's work after lunch.
took a bottle of mineral water from Liu Xi's hand, drank half a bottle in one go, and really calmed down his emotions: "I thought I would be very busy as an assistant director, but you all regarded me as an outsider." β
"So you don't know what to think about here? Now that you are the representative of Party A, who dares to really trouble you to do any work, but fortunately, thanks to you, I, the editor-in-chief, can control the company's first-line artists." β
Liu Xi waved her hand and asked her not to care, and took the two working meals from the field and gave them to Gu Nanjia.
"Don't say so much, eat and eat, when these few days have passed, you have to accompany me to go shopping, so many days in the sun, if you don't buy something whitening, I won't be able to go out to meet people." β
"Okay. Gu Nanjia smiled and nodded, with a relaxed smile on her face.
