chapter 19
On Saturday morning, Zhou Jiyou made an appointment with the students of the graduate school entrance examination to sketch in Guta Park.
Guta Park has little foot traffic and a quiet environment that is not disturbed.
Zhou Jiyou also chose a good perspective, set up a portable painting box with a stand, and sat on a small folding bench to concentrate on painting.
In the distance, the sky under the canopy of trees is golden and white, and rows of thin tree trunks hold hands and cast straight shadows on the trees.
The heat is slowly steaming little by little.
A few steps away, the girls of the two graduate school entrance classes started the draft with charcoal without hurry, listening to the voice, and the mood was very happy.
"Eh, did you watch the news channel in the morning?"
"Which news channel? CCTV 13 sets? β
"Yes, yes, 13 sets. The anchor who broadcast the morning news today is so handsome, and I can't help but watch it for a while when my dad watches the news. β
"How handsome is handsome?"
"I've got a photo of Baidu, and I'll show it to you."
The two of them leaned together and looked at the screen of their phones.
"Ah, he, I know him! Two years ago, there was a host contest on the Economic Channel, and I and the people in our dormitory voted for him. β
The girl was excited: "I know about his participation in the competition, and it is written on Baidu Encyclopedia that he is the runner-up of that year!" β
"It's true that he was the runner-up, but in the eyes of our dorm people, he is the real champion."
"I know I know, and it is also written in this encyclopedia, saying that he caught a cold on the day of the finals and his voice was not in good condition."
"This is all written? I guess it's a shame that the person who edited the entry is just as sorry as I am. β
β¦β¦
When Zhou Jiyou talked about the host competition, his hand holding the paintbrush paused.
Two years ago, in the CCTV TV host contest, she was eating in the cafeteria one day and accidentally saw a TV replay.
At that time, it was already in the semi-finals, and for the first time, she saw him in a straight suit, tall and slender, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, which was particularly spirited.
Even several judges unanimously praised him for being handsome.
She was in a trance, because she never seemed to pay serious attention to his appearance before, she only knew that he was tall, very thin, but very strong.
The kind of firmness is different from the deliberate training in the gym, the brachial muscles and pectoral muscles are not so eye-catching, but the lines are very obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Probably...... Probably she has been paying attention to it since she was a child, she doesn't think he is handsome, she just thinks he has size and strength.
In addition to his appearance, the 40-30 game subverted many of her previous fixed perceptions of him, such as speech eloquence, logical thinking, and adaptability...... Outstanding in every way. So much so that when he came to the school to look for her, she suddenly felt that this person was so strange in her eyes that it seemed to be reborn.
What she can't see, what she can't feel, it's just that she can't see, it's just that she can't feel it.
She smiled and teased him: "Eh, I saw you compete the day before yesterday, congratulations on making the cut." β
His expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see joy.
She slipped into words and teased casually: "How did you think of participating in the competition, it's not like your character." β
"What kind of personality am I?" He asked this sentence coldly, but she choked up.
I couldn't answer, and I didn't want to answer, so I looked away and ignored him.
He was silent, and after a while, he suddenly called out to her in a low voice: "Xiaoyou." β
Casually turning his eyes away, he almost immediately held his breath in a daze.
The quiet and deep gaze flickered slightly, just like the bright lights of the night that year.
"CCTV will hire newcomers for this competition."
She didn't say anything.
"I'd like to give it a try."
She knew that he had interned at CCTV for three months in the second semester of his freshman year, and he failed seven or eight auditions. She thinks it's normal, after all, she has just been in contact with the profession for less than a year, and she is still immature, and there will be opportunities in the future. But he didn't want to, before he graduated, he couldn't wait to embark on a competitive shortcut. Is it too much confidence, or too little self-confidence?
"I don't know if I can make it, but if I can get in......" he looked at her for a moment, "give me a chance." β
The sunlight shone down through the canopy, enveloping half of Zhou Jiyou's body, and his exposed skin was quickly dyed with scorching heat.
Jing Qiao's call came, she got up and walked away, answering.
"Porridge, 100,000 urgent!"
"Say."
"My grandma called me and asked me if I had a way to help my cousin get a CCTV internship, isn't this funny, where did I come from, but the old lady spoke, there is no way to help find out accurate information, I can't let her go all the way to Beijing and run for nothing."
At this point, the meaning is clear. Zhou Jiyou pretended to be stupid and didn't squeak.
Jing Qiao waited and begged weakly: "Congee Congee, help me ask the one in your house?" β
The ...... in your family
Zhou Jiyou had a headache: "I emphasized to you for the last time, I have nothing to do with him." β
"Yes, yes, it's okay, it's okay, he often runs to the studio to look for you in the fourth year of college, so that everyone mistakenly thinks that you have a tall and handsome boyfriend, and it doesn't matter how much of your peach blossoms are on the road and not on the road yet."
ββ¦β¦β
There is no way to refute it, this is a fact, and she slowly figured out that something was wrong.
He didn't move out of school before, and it was reasonable for him to go to the classroom to find her, but after moving out, he still ran a lot, so he had to be suspicious. It's just that she herself tried to save her mind, she didn't break it, she didn't stop it, and she let him go.
Jing Qiao sighed: "Tell me about you, knowing that he has that heart for you, and you still acquiesce to his behavior, do you want to reject him, or are you giving him hope?" β
Zhou Jiyou subconsciously bit his mouth.
Jing Qiao continued: "Congee Congee, I'll be honest, he is definitely a potential stock, while he still has a heart tied to you, hurry up and hold on to it." People's hearts are warm and dark, and if you continue to push him out, you will give up your crooked neck tree one day and go to find the vast forest. β
Coincidentally, just half a month ago, she just pushed again.
"Give me a chance." He had been looking at her silently as if he had to wait for an answer.
Once this person is stubborn, that feeling can be very weak.
For the first time, she was stunned for a second and then turned her head away, covering her panic with a cold sneer: "Who are you, why should I let you take care of it." β
The second time, she felt the frequency of her heart beating at high speed, and left him and walked away.
Third ...... That is, this time, her whole scalp was numb when he was about to come over, and he grabbed her wrist the moment she turned back to the living room, "I don't want to wait any longer." β
She earned it, but she didn't make it, "let go." β
Silence, strength only increased, and she gradually felt pain.
"Shen Feibai, don't get an inch!" She tried to calm down, but failed again and again.
Fortunately, in the end, he let go of his hand.
She stepped into the glass door, and he stood still on the balcony: "Xiaoyou." β
She rubbed her wrists and stopped.
"When will you need me?"
She was stunned, and all the clamor of love died down. The heart is empty, and there is no boundary.
Came out to drink water but didn't drink, returned to the room, stood stiff with his back against the door panel for a long time, so long that he suddenly heard a slight footstep stop outside the door, a moment later, the footsteps were far away, and after a while, the sound of the door opening and closing the door ...... Finally, tranquility is restored.
He's gone.
The lake under the wooden plank road was sparkling in the sun, Zhou Jiyou held it on the railing with one hand, and his tone remained calm: "I'll send you his number, you can ask yourself what you want to ask." β
Jing Qiao was speechless: "If you help me ask, I'll die!" β
"Do you want to?" Threat.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask myself." Jing Qiao rolled his eyes over there, paused, and sighed, "I'm also convinced of you, I've watched it all these years, are you really not moved by him at all?" β
"Do you want to hear the truth?" She said.
It was rare to hear that she had the intention of relieving, Jing Qiao hurriedly said: "Nonsense, of course you have to listen to the truth." β
Zhou Jiyou looked at the sky that was not transparent at all, and sighed almost inaudibly: "I don't know." β
Jing Qiao didn't understand: "Hey, what do you mean?" β
Zhou Jiyou's voice was very low, mixed with a trace of confusion that is not heard on weekdays: "Qiaoqiao, I don't know if I am all the way with him." β
***
After returning to Beijing from the earthquake-stricken area, Shen Feibai returned to the anchor station and continued to follow the duty schedule to rotate with other anchors to broadcast news.
A senior producer in the station asked him to record two sample films, and a new social program that focuses on people's livelihood and public opinion is looking for a suitable host, in addition to him, there are two other candidates. The details are to be determined, waiting for notice.
He didn't have any feelings, didn't refuse, didn't expect, just let it be.
In the eyes of his colleagues who are familiar with him in Taiwan, he seems to have a bright future, but only he knows that a certain part of his life, the most important part, is so dark that it seems to be about to sleep forever.
He shared a house with Chen Xueyang, a friend in the news comment department, and Chen Xueyang's girlfriend Cao Yue came over early Saturday morning to catch Chen Xueyang and go shopping, clamoring for him to make up for his birthday.
After being woken up, he never fell asleep again.
Sunlight penetrates through the curtains into the small rental room, and is projected on the head of the bed. He put his hand over his eyes, and the argument outside the house continued.
"Chen Xueyang, I'm your girlfriend! Can you give me a snack, you forgot my birthday and it should be a page, and I let you make up for your birthday? β
"Your voice is smallβ"
"I was born with a big voice, not small! You are doing an interview in Mianyang, and I can't get through to call you all night, do you know how worried I am! β
"I know, I know, Grandma, you're quietβ"
Cao Yue interrupted angrily again: "I told you that it's not a big deal!" Do you know how scared I am of you encountering aftershocks or landslides or something, I am worried every day, you don't understand at all! I don't have to make up for a birthday, I just want you to accompany me so that I can settle down! β
"Grandma, I didn't say I wouldn't make it up to you, I'm so sleepy, you let me sleep a little longer, and we'll go out later." Chen Xueyang pleaded in a low voice.
Cao Yue was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Go to sleep with your big head, you just want to accompany me!" β
A series of angry and anxious footsteps, coupled with the sound of slamming the door, Chen Xueyang chased out with a scream of "baby baby".
The world is quiet.
Shen Feibai closed his eyes and buffered for a while, it was difficult to fall asleep recently, and he didn't sleep for long, it was estimated that it was less than four hours.
Get out of bed and open the door.
Walking to the small living room, he happened to bump into Chen Xueyang and came back helplessly.
"Sorry for the noise." He rubbed his short hair vigorously.
"Did you stay up late last night to write?" Shen Feibai saw that his sleepiness was written on his face.
"yes." Chen Xueyang sighed and sat on the sofa, picked up a cup of overnight cold white on the coffee table and drank it, holding the empty cup, his eyes paused for two seconds, "It's also my fault, I followed the locals into a mountain village in Beichuan for an interview, the mobile phone was out of power and there was no place to charge, she called me for a night on her birthday, and I was in a hurry." β
Shen Feibai listened, his heart moved inexplicably, his throat suddenly became extremely dry, and after a while, he whispered: "Only people who care about you at any time will call you in the middle of the night." β
Chen Xueyang thought he was persuading himself to cherish it, and smiled: "I know." I love her very much, she's angry, I'll coax her later. Can you help me think about it, how can I make up for her a more romantic birthday? β
Turning his head, he saw that his gaze was deep and almost distant.
"Feibai, what do you want?"
He paused, and his eyes moved to him: "When she is angry, she won't need you anymore." β
Chen Xueyang blinked, a little confused.
He didn't even explain, he went into the bathroom to wash, quickly, and then went back to the room to change his clothes, and when he came out again, Chen Xueyang was still sitting in place.
When I saw that he was about to go out, I grabbed him and asked, "Eh, what did you mean by that?" β
He turned around and recalled a little, a little abruptly, and a little sorry: "I don't understand romance, I can't help you." My personal advice is, don't let your girlfriend sulk alone, she can digest it herself, what else do you want you to do. β
