Chapter 18: Twilight
Ping An has always felt that this man is incredible, his eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and his smile and smile are as if they have been copied from the painting, especially those eyes, the ink-colored pupils seem to always have a clear spring flowing in them, clear but not murderous. But this man, he doesn't like to laugh, and what is directly proportional to his appearance is his temperament.
You often ignore his appearance because of his temperament. When he doesn't speak, his temperament is like ink, warm and warm, but whenever he opens his mouth to confront you, his temperament turns like a front, domineering, and when he looks at you gently, you will feel that he is like a babbling stream, indifferent but left a mark in your heart.
Yang Hua often complained about God's unfairness with Ping'an, gave him superior looks and temperament, and selfishly gave him outstanding talents.
Yes, he is a world-renowned genius director at a young age, and he has won countless awards, which should arouse the envy and jealousy of countless people.
But Ping An felt that God was fair. This genius director had a gloomy childhood.
Twilight emigrated abroad with her parents since she was a child, and her father was a successful businessman, but before Twilight was ten years old, she had a good life, her family was wealthy, her parents were loving, and she was happy.
But when Twilight was ten years old, everything began to change. Twilight's father has a failed business and is in debt, and the family is forced to move from a cottage to a slum. Mu Shen's father, Dusk Ge, was depressed because of this, and he was always drunk every day, and he got drunk every day before he came home, and after returning home, he began to insult Dui Shen and his mother, sometimes he was emotional, and he would grab his mother and beat him, and the next day he woke up and kept apologizing to them, begging for their forgiveness.
Twilight's mother loves his father so much that she chooses to forgive him every time. But the nature of the country is easy to change, and after repentance, he turns his head and forgets, and Dusk Pavilion still drinks heavily all day long, and even intensifies, and finally gets involved in gambling.
Dusk Pavilion wants to use gambling to turn the tables and live a good life again, but gambling can never have a winner. When he had no money, he went to borrow a loan shark, and then lost all his money. The debtor came to the door with a machete, and Twilight hid in the house in fear, pushing Twilight and her mother out to stop the gang.
In this place, how can there be any good people, Twilight was pressed to the ground by the debtor, watching his mother being hacked to death with a knife, and his father hiding in the closet was scared and urinating, and finally the neighbor called the police, and the debtor fled in the wilderness.
From that day on, Twilight had no mother, and in his heart, there was no father.
Twilight dropped out of school, locked Twilight in the house, and did not allow Twilight to leave, Twilight tried to escape, but was caught each time, and then was beaten by his father, knocked unconscious and left in the room, locked the door, and starved for a few days before giving Twilight a little leftovers. The young Twilight was so scared that he didn't dare to run away anymore, and in the dim room, there was no ray of sunlight shining in, so Twilight shrank in the corner of the small house, holding his knees with his hands, burying his head deep between his legs, and crying silently.
Twilight stayed in that small room for three years, even he didn't know how he got over these three years, he couldn't eat all day, he didn't have a single piece of clothing when it was cold, and he almost froze to death several times, but fortunately, Twilight survived.
Later, Twilight's father made a comeback and was finally able to move out of the slum, so he released Twilight.
It was the first time Twilight had seen the sun in three years, but Twilight was not happy at all, because he was afraid, afraid that it was just a dream, and that when he woke up, he would have to spend the rest of his life in that room after all.
As a rich man again, Twilight seems to have changed back to the old Twilight Pavilion, he finds a school for Twilight, buys Twilight his favorite toys, and helps Twilight recuperate.
But Twilight knows that he is no longer his father, but Twilight will no longer rebel against Twilight Pavilion as he did when he was a child, and he has learned to forbear. He would smile and take the gift that Twilight had bought for him and say thank you to his father, even if he turned around and threw the gift in the corner when Twilight couldn't see it. He will obediently go to school, study hard, and become a good child in the eyes of teachers and students, even if he secretly learns self-defense skills behind his back.
In the life that Twilight thought was immutable, Twilight had slowly learned to protect herself.
Later, Twilight Pavilion found a stepmother for Twilight, and brought a younger brother who looked five points like Twilight, who was eight years old.
Eight years ago, it was the year when Twilight's mother died, but Twilight's heart was unwavering, he just wanted to laugh, laughing at his mother's love for this beast so deeply, losing his life for him, but in the end it was just a void.
Twilight Shen took this opportunity to move out of this house, and Twilight threatened him, as long as Twilight dared to leave a step, he would no longer have his son, Twilight Shen just smiled, I, I can't ask for it.
In my heart, there is no father for a long time.
Twilight loves movies, and his dream is to become a director one day, and he wants to make Twilight Pavilion hated by the whole world. So he started from the lowest level of field workers and walked step by step to today's position.
After becoming famous, Twilight Shen was not in a hurry to make this story into a movie, he always felt that it was not the right time, he felt that no one could perform him as an adult, not even himself, until she met peace.
At that time, she was already a famous director, and he had successfully taken revenge on his father, a middle-aged man, who had moved back to the slums after a few years of comfort.
And Ping An is a puppet who is disheartened and forced to sell his art every day to make a living.
Twilight was glad that he would walk down that street on a whim that day, and stop for a less brilliant performance, because he saw the eyes he had been most familiar with in years, the hollow, boundless void that contained hatred.
Even if he didn't know what this person had been through, he could feel the sadness of despair.
Twilight thought that he had finally found a reason to make this movie.
Twilight Shen has been standing on the periphery of the crowd, silently watching Ping An and Yang Hua finish their performances, and when all the onlookers have left, Twilight Shen stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and handed out his business card in a friendly manner.
He saw the glint in the girl's eyes when she saw him, and the gloom that followed.
Twilight asks Ping An if he likes acting, Ping An nods firmly, and Twilight asks Ping An if he would like to play the heroine of his movie, but Ping An hesitates.
If one day your life hits rock bottom, and suddenly a ladder to the light appears in your despair, you will be afraid, afraid that all this is just an illusion.
So Ping An hesitated, she didn't dare to take the business card.
