Cheng Shuo put off a whole day's work, stayed in the apartment alone for a day, and only got up in the evening to cook a bowl of noodles for himself in the kitchen, he sat at the dining table, watching the heat linger in a daze.

After leaving her, on this day every year, he would cook a bowl of noodles, then look at it in a daze, and wait until the noodles were cold before eating.

No one knows but her how delicious the noodles he cooked.

After leaving her, no matter who asked for it, no matter what the occasion, he would rather cook an unpalatable dish than make his best noodles.

He stubbornly decided that in this life, he would only cook noodles for her alone.

Before meeting her, he never knew that the hurt from his relatives could be so deep, he didn't know that a person could be humbled in front of family affection, let alone understand that it was so beautiful, that she should be loved by thousands of people, and that she deserved to get the best of everything in the world.

He knew her always gentle and quiet, so when she curled up in his arms like a wounded little beast and cried secretly, he was so distressed, he wanted to give him everything he had, let her not be sad, and make her smile, but all he could do at that time was to hug her tighter, and then secretly vowed to give her a warm home, help her get back the missing love, and never let her shed tears.

For her, he learned to cook the best noodles, just to let her eat a bowl of longevity noodles in his memory on this day every year, and he also wanted to learn more things that could make her happy, but before he could do it, they were so caught off guard and separated, and it was he who caused all this.

After separation, he still maintained this habit, making a bowl of noodles on this day, even if she couldn't eat it, he made it every year, as if only cold noodles and soup flowed into his stomach could make him feel better, was it punishment?

Cheng Shuo, who hadn't slept all night, took a shower and went back to the company, Shi Yu said that he wanted to talk to him about the work in the future, even if he believed Shi Yu, but after all, he had been betrayed and fell so badly, he couldn't be negligent at work.

When he left the company, he actually met Yueyue.

Yueyue, who was married to a woman, matured a lot, but he still recognized it at a glance, she stood there smiling, and his face was full of surprise. Cheng Shuo asked Xiao Du to go back first, he went to dinner with Yueyue, the restaurant was still the one he liked very much back then, she still remembered.

He will never forget that when he was calculated by Liu Feng but was powerless to fight back, it was Yueyue who had been taking care of him. At that time, his future was dark, he suffered the first setback in his life, his career was ruined, and he was devastated by the death of his grandfather, and before that, he pushed away the person he loved with his own hands.

Refusing to show his weakness in front of others, he locked himself in the room without eating or drinking, it was Yueyue who was always by his side, and even at the airport at the end, she watched him leave.

After he left, Yueyue resigned and got married, and he was unable to attend the wedding that had been postponed because of him.

In the familiar restaurant, the two chatted happily as if they had never been separated, and Yueyue, who was married to a woman, returned to her former appearance in front of Cheng Shuo, and Cheng Shuo also let down her guard and showed a real smile. When he came back this time, he thought of her more than once, but he never had the mind to find her, he knew that she had repeatedly postponed the wedding with her childhood sweetheart fiancé because she couldn't worry about her survival in this circle, and he may have made a promise to send her to marry in person. She was the only person around him who had seen Shui Lian, and she had witnessed how much he loved Shui Shui.

After the ups and downs, he only hopes that Yueyue can be happy, if she has left this circle, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back, as long as she is doing well, what if she can't meet? The experience of the past few years has made him see through a lot of things, there are many kinds of friends, some are destined not to be with each other every day, as long as they know that the other party is very good, it is enough.

Yueyue went back to T City with her husband this time because she was helping a friend make a play, and she learned the news of Cheng Shuo's return on TV and wanted to come back to meet him. Coincidentally, one of the jobs that Shi Yu talked about with Cheng Shuo was this drama.

The two chatted for a long time, the time was really not early, Cheng Shuo sent Yueyue back, left a new number, she stood at the door and said, "Go back and rest early, we will work together for a while in the future." ”

Cheng Shuo waved his hand, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

Fate is like an entangled curve, and some people are entwined no matter where they are.

When she and Jolene came out of the company, it was already past the time to eat, and Jolene started the car and said, "It's all this time, let's eat something and go back." She agreed, she went back, Aunt Fang knew that she hadn't eaten and was going to start Zhang Luo, she didn't want to bother, so she just ate a little bit outside, and she wasn't hungry anyway.

I went to a restaurant that Jolene frequented, and there were few people because of the time, and I met an acquaintance before I got to the seat arranged by the waiter.

Brother Qi, the assistant director of "Trajectory", Zhao Jin's old partner.

When filming "Trajectory", she was learning and filming at the same time, and among the many staff members, Brother Qi took the most care of her, and later she went to make a cameo appearance in Zhao Jin's play, and he was also the assistant director, and he was very familiar with him for many years.

Everyone is busy on weekdays, and it is difficult to have a chance to meet outside of work, so I finally sat down to talk when we met, only then did I know that Brother Qi was busy with a book of Ajing, who was originally going to be the sister of "Trajectory", but for various reasons it has not been filmed, and now there is an opportunity to do a drama, A Jing decided to try, Zhao Jin helped to draw the line, and Brother Qi also came to help.

"At the beginning, Director Zhao took a fancy to our Zhuan to play Xiao Xia at a glance, and said that there would be no one else more suitable than Zhuan Zhuan, what is the result, our Zhuan is Xiao Xia!"

"That's also Director Zhao's insight and careful teaching, otherwise how can there be a trickle, speaking of Ajing, her books are good, why didn't she talk about it?"

"I've read this book, it's really good, everyone knows Sister Jing's level, but there are too many problems on the investor's side, and you also know Sister Jing's temper, she agreed when she had a chance. Although the drama is more of a test of the ability of the book and the screenwriter, but in terms of influence, it is really not as good as the platform of TV, but since it is going to be done, everyone will try to go to a better place. I'm in contact with actors these days, and this time I don't plan to use professional drama actors, what I want is a fresh and natural style! The two of them who have just settled down are both popular idol stars, and I will continue to talk about it for a while, time is tight. ”

"A good book is not afraid of grinding, and if you have this opportunity, you can open up another place. ”

"Actually, there is a role in Sister Jing's book that is really suitable for Zhuan, sisters, it is estimated that Sister Jing has left a shadow of Xiaoxia. I know that Zhuan is busy, but this look, Zhuan and Cheng Shuo, who just settled today, are really suitable to be partners, and the more you look at it, the more suitable it is. ”

"Brother Qi just takes care of us, and if there is a good character, I always think of her, and we must cooperate again if we have the opportunity to go back!"

"It must be certain, it's normal for you to be busy and don't have time to take on dramas, but "Trajectory" is really pleasant, and if you have a chance in the future, let's work together again!"

Yan Lianxin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Sister Qiao, help me leave time, I have always liked Sister Jing's style, and they all say that drama is the best way to learn things, if Sister Jing can afford it, I would be willing to give it a try, but I was not originally from a professional class, and drama is the most test of acting skills, so Sister Jing doesn't think I'm stupid." ”

Brother Qi sat up straight all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "How come!" If you can come, it would be great, Sister Jing will definitely be happy! Sister Qiao, there is no problem with the schedule, right?"

Qiao Lin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Zhuanzhuan's new drama is still talking, I can help her arrange other work, if Zhuan wants to go, I will set aside the schedule, but it won't be too long." ”

"That's really good, I'll tell Sister Jing now, let's discuss the rest of the matter, it's all easy to say!

After eating a working meal, he picked up a powerful actor for nothing, and Brother Qi seemed to be afraid that Yan Zhuan Xin and Qiao Lin would regret it, so he decided on the time of the next meeting and hurried away.

On the way back, he looked at Jolene, who was concentrating on driving and not talking, "I'm sorry." ”

Qiao Lin looked ahead, "I don't care how you make your own decisions in life, as long as you are happy, but at work, this is the first time, you have never been an impulsive person, why do you have to take it? Even if the company does not force you to shoot what you must and can't shoot, but your current situation is not suitable for acting in dramas." ”

"I know, but I really want to go, I think, confirm one thing. In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her, did she want to see him? Three years ago, she really wanted to ask those things in person, but now, when she had enough capital, she was a little timid.

Jolene didn't speak again, and the two of them were speechless all the way.

She dropped her off at her lodgings and drove home by herself. Four years after her debut, she has never been so willful not to say hello to herself to do one thing, she knows that there must be a reason behind this, but she is reluctant to say it, and she is not good at asking again.

Back at home, she poured a glass of red wine after taking a shower and thinking about how to explain to the company.

From the company's point of view, with Yan Zhuanxin's current influence and development, she should appear in the audience's sight while the iron is hot in order to maintain her current influence, and her current workload and exposure have made some of the company's senior executives dissatisfied. Even though this is an important recognition of becoming a performing artist, the company needs to become a star, a star who can bring influence and huge benefits to the company. What's more, dramas are time-consuming and laborious but not more widely disseminated than film and television dramas, she is not worried about her ability to accept and learn, but what can she do to balance the stakes between them?

The habit of years of cultivation made Jolene wake up early the next day even if she slept late, she did not go back to the company, but contacted Brother Qi first, she needed to know all the circumstances of this drama.

She turned on the computer, and the script had been sent to her mailbox, along with a brief email from Ah Jing to her.

A Jing is well-known in the screenwriting industry, her book is naturally good, Qiao Lin probably glanced at the content introduction, it is indeed a good story, if it is made into a TV series, it will not be much worse than "Trajectory".

Jolene recalls the details of her meeting with Brother Qi the day before, trying to find out what she had missed.

After four years of getting along, Zhuan Zhuan's performance yesterday was indeed abnormal, what made her insist like this, suddenly, Qiao Lin remembered something, and after a little thought, she didn't know if her guess was right, and she had a plan in her heart.

Jolene picked up her mobile phone and made a few calls, and after the matter was basically confirmed, she logged in to the mailbox and saved the script to the attachment and sent it, then got up and changed her clothes and drove to the company.

He is not a person who is very good at hiding his thoughts, especially in the face of people he knows and trusts. It's hard for her to let down her guard and trust someone completely, but if this trust is given, there will be no more concealment.

Smart and meticulous as Jolene, she quickly found clues in her reactions and actions, but she didn't show it. She has been circling in the company, drama, and Zhuan at the same time, all she wants is to help Zhuan do this, whether she guesses right or not, she has to try her best.

The first thing to settle down was the drama side, hung up Brother Qi's phone, Qiao Lin showed a smile, the rest of the things were easy to do, she called Lulu, said that she was going to eat in the evening, and then went back to the company to take the folder prepared before, and went to the cake shop to buy the cake before setting off to the residence of Zhu Zhuanxin.

Jolene arrived early, Aunt Fang went out to buy groceries, and Lulu opened the door for her, took the cake and told her to read the script upstairs.

She nodded, changed her shoes, took off her coat, and went upstairs.

In the small hall on the second floor, he was huddled on the sofa reading the script, and there were several thick scripts on the table next to him, all of which had been sent over before and had not finished reading.

She looked up when she heard the movement, Jolene smiled and sat down across from her, put the file bag on the table in front of her, and told her straight to the point that the matter of the play had been decided, the roles, the time and place of rehearsals, and the performance plan.

She leaned into the file bag, took out the documents inside and looked at it, Jolene poured herself a glass of water, and looked at her without speaking.

After a long while, she raised her head, reached out and picked up the pen on the table and scratched it twice on a piece of paper, then handed it to Qiao Lin, and said, "Sister Qiao, help me go and talk to Brother Qi, I will only go to these two places for the performance, please arrange it." ”

Qiao Lin glanced at it and nodded, it was easier to do it this way, originally this drama was a role with different actors to play in different scenes, and Zhuan Zhuan only chose these two places, which could be regarded as a favor to Ah Jing, with her ability, she could completely turn this drama into a tripartite benefit.

However, to her surprise, she didn't ask any meaning about the character's question, which also confirmed the doubt in her heart in a certain way.

She was thinking like this, and suddenly said, "Sister Qiao, this time I was willful and didn't discuss with you in advance, thank you for helping me so much." She paused, then said, "Thank you for everything you've done for me all these years, and thank you for tolerating my ignorance—"

"Trickle," Jolene interrupted, "Don't say thank you to me, the trust you give me is worth everything I do, and don't forget, we're the most outlier partners." She smiled and looked at Zhuan, "We have been together for four years, and I can see that you have something in your heart and don't have enough courage to face it, but it doesn't matter, when you are willing to say it, I will still be by your side, and before that, no matter what kind of road it is, I will accompany you." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, no more need to say anything.

Qiao Lin looked at the heartfelt smile of the water, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Zhuan, your willful appearance is very similar to me back then.
