123 『 Stone Break 』
The western suburbs of City A are a somewhat cold place.
Especially in late autumn like this, the early morning sun is not strong, and the wind is a little humid and cool. The air is filled with damp moisture, and when the breeze lifts the hem of the clothes, it always carries a refreshing coolness.
Gu Shengge stood up from the bench on the side of the road, raised his hand and lowered the brim of his hat.
The flower shop across the street had just opened its curtains, and the owner was a good-looking girl. Watching her busy moving out pots and pots of blooming plants from afar, Gu Shengge tightened the windbreaker on her body and walked towards the flower shop with her head down.
The wet wind ruffled the hem of his clothes, and the black fabric was of excellent texture without a trace of wrinkles. The neckline and cuffs are finely aligned, and the placket is rigorous, making it an extremely dignified style.
The moment he walked into the flower shop, he was surrounded by the warmth of melting, and Gu Shengge looked sideways at the fragrant lilies in the flower tube in the distance.
The slender petals are still stained with dew, and the stamens are tender yellow and fragrant.
"Hello, is there anything you need?"
Almost the moment he walked in, he greeted him, and the quiet and delicate girl hugged the sunflower in her arms that she didn't have time to put down, and smiled at him kindly.
"Excuse me......" Unconsciously lowered his voice, Gu Shengge lowered his head, and avoided the girl's gaze with a side face without a trace, "Help me wrap a bunch of lilies, thank you." ”
Purple kite, smoky white ribbon. After paying the bill and taking the flowers, Gu Shengge thanked him in a low voice, turned around and pushed the door open.
The fragrance of the lily still permeated the tip of his nose, and he clipped the cash in his hand into the cash register, and the young florist stood in his own flower shop, and suddenly remembered where he seemed to have heard a voice very similar to that of the customer just now.
After recalling it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a clue, and the shopkeeper girl, who has always been very pragmatic, simply decided to give up. Squatting down to turn on the stereo outside the door,
She turned around humming the song and habitually ticked the daily cycle of "Crush" in the song list.
The soft melody wraps around a faint but impossible to ignore astringency, slowly flowing through the cold streets.
A clear and clean male voice, with just the right amount of hoarseness and heart-palpitating sighs, and a low chant to the melody.
"Build a wall in your heart
Time goes by
be in full leaf
Outside the walls is you
Inside the walls, it's my forbidden ......"
The thin sunlight brushed his cheeks, Gu Shengge held the flower in his arms, stepped on the melody behind him, and took a silent step.
"I think I care
Don't dare to mention it
careful
No trace
Like a glass-covered roof
Fragile and secretive......"
The wind that skipped over his shoulders brought a chill, and Gu Shengge protected the bouquet in his hand, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line.
"You say, the weather is nice
I should, smile and agree
I want to hide your smile in my corner
My eyes betray me all the time......"
Drifting away in the thin sunlight, Gu Shengge lowered his head and gradually quickened his pace.
"You say, I'm glad to have me
I laughed, and could only bow my head in silence
All it takes for you is to cooperate
It's one step away
It's about keeping a distance
I couldn't have come closer to a friend......"
Until the taxi drove into the parking lot of the cemetery in the western suburbs, the familiar melody still echoed in Gu Shengge's ears over and over again.
After paying for the car and pushing the door open, he turned his head and thanked the driver, Gu Shengge picked up the dew-stained bouquet on the side, and stared at the cemetery in front of him silently.
The black and white tombstones are solemnly arranged, and the wet and cold air of late autumn condenses into fog, and the silence and haze envelop the entire cemetery.
Silently stepping forward, Gu Shengge lowered his eyes. When his body naturally stopped in front of a certain tombstone with his memory, he raised his eyes, and the corner of his eye touched the photo on the tombstone, and suddenly he was a little hot.
The gentle and elegant eyebrows and eyes are not very handsome. It's just that the smile on the corner of his lips is still alive in his memory, and every time he thinks of it, tears wells up.
Squatted down and carefully placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tomb, not caring about the coldness of the ground in late autumn, Gu Shengge straightened his back and knelt in front of the man's tombstone upright.
The wet autumn wind blew red the corners of his eyes, and he bowed his head and kowtowed deeply to the tombstone.
"Dad, I'm late. ”
The damp wind carried his somewhat hoarse voice, which had lost its former warmth and stability, and it was a little trembling. The sound of footsteps gradually approaching behind him came to his ears a little hurriedly, and then stopped, Gu Shengge did not get up, nor did he look back.
"Why did you come here by yourself? Didn't you say I'm going to pick you up?"
A warm palm grabbed him from behind, as if trying to help him to his feet. Gu Shengge didn't move, he closed his eyes, and suddenly he couldn't suppress the dampness and heat in the corners of his eyes.
"Obedient, get up first, the ground is cold. The man's voice was a little hurried, with a real concern. He barely had to look back to imagine the man frowning at the moment.
Suddenly skipped all kinds of previous lives and that person in front of me, like fragmented shots that switched one after another, and piles and piles appeared in front of me.
The hand that opened to him when he was at his most down, with eyes with a warm smile. Dressed in a cheap waiter uniform, holding a tray and smiling at him.
He said, Shengge, believe me.
He said, let's hold on together, this is not the end of the road.
Closing his eyes tightly, Gu Shengge trembled and took a deep breath.
It was probably because the autumn air was so humid and cold that he was cold at the moment, and even his breath was full of pain.
The people behind him seemed to notice his abnormality, and actually took a step back and did not persuade him again.
Lowering his eyes with a wry smile, Gu Shengge slowly stood up and turned to look at the man behind him.
"Heng Zhao," he called him, a smile on his lips, but the tears in his eyes could no longer be hidden, "I saw two people before I came here. ”
Seeing the man's body visibly stiffen, Gu Shengge stared at the man in front of him fixedly, his eyes reddened silently, "Do you want to know, who are they?"
"Who? Gu Shengge is here? Yes, let him in." Handing the peeled apple in his hand to Luo Yi on the hospital bed, Shen Jue hung up the phone from the assistant asking for instructions, carefully helped Luo Yi sit up on the hospital bed, and stuffed two pillows behind his back, "It was Gu Shengge who was outside and came to visit you." It's early in the morning, how can you choose this time to come?"
"Shengge, isn't he filming in Y City?" Slowly sitting up with Shen Jue's movements, Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky outside the window that had just been lit up for a short time, his eyes became more and more puzzled, "Could it be that the crew rushed to the show all night last night, and this time just ended?"
"Okay, everyone is here, don't bother thinking about this," patting the pillow behind Luo Yi softly, Shen Jue glanced at Luo Yi, who was smiling, and combed his hair smoothly, "I slept so much that my hair was curled, beware of being ridiculed." ”
"What are you afraid of, just mess up, he's not an outsider. Laughing silently, Luo Yi turned his face sideways and grabbed Shen Jie's hand, "Hard work, my General Manager Shen." ”
Glaring and patting Luo Yi's hand, Shen Jue didn't open his eyes, his face was a little uncomfortable, "If you really think like this, hurry up, Luoshen!"
Withdrawing the hand that was slapped away by Shen Jue indifferently, Luo Yi bent his eyes, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of satisfied smiles.
When Gu Shengge pushed the door open, he saw such a scene.
He was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Yi, who had a good complexion, a little distracted. After all, in his impression, no matter how cold and warm his senior brother was, he had never shown such a soft smile.
"Shengge, you're here. Luo Yi on the hospital bed looked at him the moment he pushed the door open, and beckoned to him in a good mood. Walking into the ward with a large bag and a small bag, Gu Shengge brought the door, walked over and put the oversized bag on the small table next to the bed.
"Senior brother, what's wrong? I've been filming before and I haven't been able to come to see you...... These are several of the nutrients and supplements that the dietitian recommended to me, and I have brought them all. Go back and ask the doctor, if you allow it, you can ...... in a few days."
"Nutrition and other things are not allowed by doctors recently, and I have asked before. Walking over and removing the bag he had placed on the table, Shen Jue vacated the small table and moved a chair to the side of the bed, "Sit down, it's hard for you to bring so many things." Next time, he won't have to prepare these again, he won't be able to eat them anyway, it's all wasted. ”
After he finished speaking, he lifted the thermos on the table and opened the door and walked out. The action of closing the door was not heavy, but it still made a lot of noise.
Silently watching Shen Jue's series of actions, Gu Shengge hesitated for a moment, but still sat down in front of the hospital bed according to the man's wishes. He vaguely felt that Shen Jue's attitude towards him seemed to have changed somewhat, but if he really wanted to talk about it in detail, he couldn't say why.
"It's okay, what's a waste, just eat it after a while. As if sensing his embarrassment for no reason, Luo Yi on the hospital bed looked thoughtfully at the door that was thrown shut by Shen Jie, and then raised the corners of his lips to look at him, "How is the movie going?
Seeing that Luo Yi seemed to be deliberately easing the sluggish atmosphere, Gu Shengge lowered his head and pursed his lips, trying to raise the corners of his mouth to take over, "No, I haven't played much in the past two days...... At this time, I made an appointment to meet at the café next to it. I thought that since I was near the hospital, I might as well go out early and come up to see how you are recovering, and give you these things by the way. ”
"Oh, who made an appointment with you so early? Heng Zhao?" Luo Yi on the hospital bed seemed to ask casually, which made his back stiffen like a reflex. Passing over the contract that the old man showed him yesterday, Gu Shengge clenched his fingers, and was in a trance for a while.
"Shengge, Shengge?" His shoulders were gently shaken, Gu Shengge raised his eyes, and looked at Luo Yi in front of him who frowned at some point. As if seeing his abnormality, Luo Yi's eyes gradually became solemn, "Your reaction...... Could it be that Heng Zhao did something? Tell me, what's wrong with you two?"
"No, I didn't ...... much" Somewhat hastily looking away, Gu Shengge stood up and took a step back, standing farther away from the hospital bed, "Senior brother, I still have an appointment, so I'll leave first...... Take good care of your injuries, and I'll come back to see you in a while......"
With some nonsense goodbyes that he couldn't understand, looking at Luo Yi, whose brows were furrowed even tighter in front of him, Gu Shengge took a step back, turned around and walked out of the ward.
Pushed open the door and took a few quick steps, but almost bumped into the person outside the door. Raising his eyes in a trance and apologizing, Gu Shengge realized that the person in front of him was Shen Jue, who was carrying a thermos and looked unpredictable.
"Are you leaving, don't you want to sit down again?" Shen Jue frowned and said with some hesitation, "...... What's wrong with you?
"No, not much," trying to calm down, Gu Shengge pursed his lips, thinking of Luo Yi's worried look just now, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Shen Jue in front of him was still motionless waiting for an answer, Gu Shengge sighed in his heart, and could only find an excuse to prevaricate,
"The shooting hasn't been going well recently, so I'm emotionally ......" glanced at Shen Jue inexplicably, Gu Shengge opened his eyes, and his voice was a little slow, "Please Manager Shen help me tell my senior brother, don't worry, after a while, I will definitely be able to ease up." ”
"The filming didn't go well, do you mean that the requirements of Feng Yu are too high?" glanced at Gu Shengge with some understanding, thinking of the "devilish" actor training of Feng Yu, which was widely circulated in the circle, Shen Jue sighed silently, and couldn't help but speak, "You can only think about this, Feng Dao's style is like this." There have been many actors who have complained about his problems before, but as long as the filming is over and he wins the award, no one will have the heart to complain anymore. Everyone is for the movie to be popular, so you try to cooperate a little. What's more, opportunities like Misen don't come easily, and you have to seize them. You must know that Heng Zhao put so much effort into trying his best to get you into the eyes of Feng Yu, isn't it just for this day? Compared to the success in the future, these are nothing ...... now."
"Wait!you, what did you just say?......" Looking at Shen Jue with a surprised expression, Gu Shengge's face turned pale, trying to suppress the tremor of his voice, "He tried his best to think about it...... Let me get into the eyes of the Feng Dao?"
"What, you don't know?" Looking at Gu Shengge in surprise, Shen Jue opened his eyes and sighed a little helplessly, "You don't want to think about it, how can there be such a coincidence in this world...... If Heng Zhao hadn't sent someone to find out about that orphanage in advance, the huge Hong Kong, how could Feng Yu have been bumped into by you?"
There was a sudden emptiness in front of me, with boundless loneliness and overwhelming pain.
His limbs were stiff as if he could no longer move, and when his body fell in vain, what sounded in his ears was that moonlit night, he and the man stood at the door of the dilapidated orphanage, and the question and answer were so clear that it was terrifying-
- "Heng Zhao...... We're here for no other purpose, are we?"
"yes, don't think about it. Stay with them in peace—" 166 Reading Network
