Chapter 193: Limited Commitment
At this time, Belu turned her face to the few men who were standing behind her chatting.
Dressed in glasses, they are holding wine glasses around a silver tray on the bar, from which they take small snacks made with caviar and foie gras.
"Daniel," she shouted to one of them, "come here, I want you to meet my guests." β
So a man with glasses, an unusually handsome appearance, and a tall and straight figure walked out of the crowd.
Come over and join them in the conversation.
"This is Daniel Henry, maybe you've seen him in a movie. But you wouldn't expect him to be even better on the runway. β
Belo introduced them to each other.
"Daniel, this is Zhuo Qun and his wife Wei Li, your favorite "Global Roundup" is his work......"
"Nice to meet you. β
Before Zhuo Qun could react, Daniel was already very happy to hold Zhuo Qun's hand.
"It's a great honor, and I can honestly say that "Global Roundup" is the best spy movie I've ever seen, and I know now that it's more enjoyable than the movie. Especially the Chinese version. I really regret that I watched the movie first for convenience. β
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you liked the story I wrote. β
Zhuo Qun nodded in thanks, then squinted his eyes again, and finally found the screen image in his mind that corresponded to this man who looked a little familiar.
"Excuse me, have you ever acted in the movie "Wolverine"?"
"Yes, Agent Zero. I really didn't expect you to have an impression of me. As an Asian-American actor in Hollywood, I'm not very well-known, and it's an honor for you to remember my role. β
At this time, Wei Li also interjected, "Excuse me, have you also acted in the Korean drama "I Am Kim Sam Soon"?
Daniel laughed outright.
"Haha, you gave me a full surprise. It was actually my first TV series, and I was of mixed Korean descent. Only later went to Hollywood. β
He was also the only Asian model chosen by Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Now, of course, he's working for me. β
Belle added, smiling at Daniel, "It gives me a sense of accomplishment. β
Daniel echoed and reached out to put his arm around Bellu's shoulder.
"Please don't compliment me like that, you're like that, as if I wasn't there. β
There was no doubt that they looked like a couple.
Wei Li immediately showed a sudden look of "I see", and was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.
But such a "surprise" made Zhuo Qun's face darken, and he himself felt the uncontrollable stiffness of his face.
Fortunately, Belo and Daniel did not make any further intimate moves, and Belo made a new suggestion.
"Zhuoqun, I have a few French friends who would like to meet you individually, they are publishers in Europe and are interested in your French edition. You don't mind giving me a face and meeting them, do you?"
Zhuo Qun heard that there was a subtext in this, so naturally he would not object.
Bei Lu was more intimate with Wei Li's arrangement.
"I'm afraid I'll have to borrow your husband for a while. If you don't mind, I'd love to see you help me out. Take a look at my ready-to-wear room, try on my creations, and give me some advice. Truth be told, there are a few pieces of clothing that I think are particularly suitable for you. If you like it and are willing to wear it on your body to do free advertising for me, I will appreciate it. β
Then she immediately said to Daniel, "Can you help me take care of Wei Li?" You take her to Shirley, Shirley knows what clothes to wear, let her help Wei Li try them on. Then you guys are waiting for us in the garment room. We'll go to you as soon as we're done. β
In this way, under the seamless language routine, Daniel led Wei Li away.
And Bei Lu was finally able to take Zhuo Qun alone to the fourth floor, an empty floor.
"This handsome half-race guy is very good, he is 1.9 meters, right? How long have you been dating......
As soon as he went up the floor, Zhuo Qun couldn't help but hint at jealousy.
But Beilu just laughed softly and ignored him at all.
He was just pulled into a closed clothing showroom, and closed the door behind him while hanging a "temporarily closed" sign.
In the middle of the room, the plastic mannequins shrouded in spotlights are interesting.
A man and a woman are companions, about 30 groups.
These plastic couples come in a variety of poses and wear a variety of outfits.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, school uniforms, swimsuits, hunting suits, and ski suits are available, and they are very old.
Some have a Walkman in their hands, some have turned it into an MP3, and some have a textbook or newspaper in their hands.
But what attracts the crowd even more is the images displayed in the room.
On the four walls of the room, four projectors are projecting images.
At the beginning, Zhuo Qun was just watching casually, but gradually his eyes focused and became excited.
He began to realize what he was looking at.
It's the past.
This showroom is full of his and Bellu's past.
The first thing he noticed was the news clipping.
China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, successfully bid for the Olympic Games in 2002, successfully launched the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft in 2005, launched the Shenzhou 6 spacecraft in 2006, won the 2008 Olympic Games and the snow disaster in the south, and held the Shanghai World Expo in May 2010......
Then I found that some of them were also clips from film, TV, and music MTV editing.
"Sweet Honey", "Titanic", "Avatar", Faye Wong, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Ren Xianqi, Pu Shu, Xu Wei......
Suddenly, he saw the tent he had lived in Inner Mongolia, the villa that Belu had once wrapped up in Feng Totem, the old house with treasures that he had bought in Nice, and the manor and hunting grounds of Monsieur Capet, the lavender fields of Provence and the Oriental Train......
followed by a close-up of his photo in the yearbook of the University of China, followed by a photo of Bei Lu when he was in college, and a photo of their respective parents......
Zhuo Qun's eyes were no longer enough, and he circled between the screens that surrounded him.
He longs to see the picture of everything and does not want to miss anything.
He saw the picture of the stock market soaring, saw the nightclubs he used to visit in Paris, saw the location where Bei Lu used to run a film and television company, saw the Beijing Mansion where he once occupied one floor, saw the Gusu Museum where he and Bei Lu once met, the cinema on Guanqian Street, and the ChΓ’teau Lafayette Hotel where the feast of death was held......
"I ...... I really don't know what to say. β
Zhuo Qun was amazed by the mixed montage of these images related to their rebirth.
"How did you find these things?"
"Historical images are relatively easy, and there are TV station archives and news archives. But some of them had to be filmed by myself. France, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, ......"
Belle smiled.
The soft glow of the screen lit up her face and eyes.
"What do you think I've had all these years? In order to soothe my soul, I walked alone through almost all the life journeys of the two of us. There are places I am familiar with, and there are places I have only heard from you, and I have been there. I gotta say, it was really helpful......"
The images on the four walls are still playing, and the endless dynamic images piece together many of their past lives, together or separately.
"Really...... It's really unimaginable. Zhuo Qun's voice was a little hoarse, "I can't accurately express my feelings, I can only say that it's great to have the opportunity to see such a picture." Thank you ......."
"It's done for you. Also made for myself. No one can understand all this but you and me. β
Zhuo Qun finally took his eyes off the screen, and he stared at Beilu with a slightly pensive expression.
"These ...... You're just ...... for us."
Beilu looked back with a look of course.
"Of course, do you think I've forgotten our shared past?
"That'...... You and Daniel ......"
"I'm just his boss. Although he is not famous, he is indeed a good actor and a top male model. I really didn't expect that you would be jealous of your wife's peace of mind. I hate jealous people, except for you. β
Zhuo Qun was immediately embarrassed.
"I beg your pardon, it's mostly me...... We've been apart for too long. β
"It's been too long. Luckily, after a few months, it all started again. β
"Next time, next time it must be ours, as long as you want. β
"How could I not want to?" Bei Lu smiled bitterly, "To be honest, after all these years, it would be a lie to say that I have no regrets at all. Sometimes, I really don't understand, am I a third party, or is your wife a third party?"
At this time, she turned her head to look at a screen that was showing the place where they were holding their wedding in the capital.
She couldn't help but sigh again.
"Only, that might be my last time. The timing of my rebirth this time has been deviated by seven years, and I am afraid that it will take even longer for me to come back next time. Will you wait for me? You're going to ......."
Zhuo Qun didn't allow Bei Lu to say any more, and pulled her into his arms, blocking those fearful words.
Zhuo Qun used his body and emotions to make a limited commitment to Bei Lu to spend a short life together.
And so, they embraced in the silence of the room, becoming one of the plastic models.
And the images from their past lives still flickered around them......
