Chapter Twenty-Six: As a friend, you've done enough
Chinese restaurant, as soon as the food came up, Tao Lei ate a little wolf, he was really hungry, he could say that he hadn't eaten for almost two days, and he had no chance to eat yesterday when he had a meeting to inspect the construction site or something, and he called Ai Jiatong almost after work and wanted to eat, who knew that she had a situation, and then rushed to T City non-stop, and then waited for a long time downstairs in her.
"Eat more." Ai Jiatong put some dishes into Tao Lei's bowl and said.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Tao Lei raised his head and asked, but he didn't forget to eat.
"See you're full." Ai Jiatong teased.
"You have no conscience!" Tao Lei complained.
Ai Jiatong smiled, picked up the cup and drank water while saying casually, "People who don't know still think you love me." β
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Tao Lei was swallowed when he heard this while eating, he kept coughing, his face turned red, Ai Jiatong was taken aback, and hurriedly handed him water.
It took a while to recover, but luckily it was noisy, so no one noticed the corner.
"Really, just kidding, do you need to be so excited?" Ai Jiatong frowned, stood up, bent over and stretched out his hand to pat his back and complain.
It took a long time for him to get better, and Ai Jiatong had a black face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Tao Lei said with an embarrassed smile.
Ai Jiatong pouted, "Do you still eat?" If you don't eat, we'll go. β
The two of them strolled leisurely on the street, surrounded by neon lights, the sound of vehicle horns sounding wantonly, as well as the noise of the surrounding crowd, the sound of advertisements on the large LED screen, all kinds of sounds mixed together, this is the sound of the big city, there is no quiet in the countryside.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Ai Jiatong asked suspiciously.
"There's nothing to do." Tao Lei smiled and said that in fact, his mobile phone was about to be blown up, and he could only choose to turn it off.
"Thank you, but I'm really fine, you go back, I know you're busy." Ai Jiatong stroked his hair and said.
"What about you? When will I go back? β
"It's been two days."
"I'll wait for you to go back with you."
Ai Jiatong stopped and looked at Tao Lei, Tao Lei looked at her puzzled, "As a friend, you have done enough, you really don't need to." β
Tao Lei was stunned for a moment, and a lot of thoughts instantly surged in his heart, did Ai Jiatong know?
"Tao Lei, if you like me, you will be sad." Ai Jiatong said this lightly and walked forward, she was not stupid, and she was somewhat aware of Tao Lei's difference in her.
Tao Lei froze in place, unable to say a word, Ai Jiatong, is this a warning?
Suddenly, Ai Jiatong turned around and raised a bright smile at him, "My good friend Ah Lei, let's go, I'll take you around." β
Tao Lei looked at her smile, although he was very excited, it was difficult to laugh.
Seeing this, Ai Jiatong walked up to him, grabbed his arm, and smiled, "What are you doing?" Let's go, you are so good to me as a friend, and I will be good to you, because you are my best friend, and I will always be a friend. β
"Yes, forever, friend." Tao Lei said with a smile uncomfortably.
When Ai Jiatong got home and found her mother watching TV, she hesitated for a moment, and called out while taking off her shoes, "Mom." β
"Well, why did you come back so late?" Ai's mother couldn't hide her joy and asked.
Ai Jiatong was silent and didn't speak, she had already taken off her shoes, but she was reluctant to walk in, she always felt very awkward.
"I bought corn, it's already steamed, you go to the rice cooker and eat it, I'll go back to the room first." Ai's mother also seemed to feel the embarrassment of the atmosphere and spoke uncomfortably.
Ai's mother entered the room, Ai Jiatong's eyes turned red instantly, she walked to the kitchen, took out the corn to the hall to eat, and shed tears while eating, she couldn't eat the taste of corn anymore.
Although her mother's slap that day was very hurtful, but after all, it was her mother, and Ai Jiatong didn't particularly care about it after this incident, but there was an indescribable awkwardness, her personality was like this, she didn't like to show favor first, corn, it was her favorite food, but she rarely bought it at home, and now it's like this, is it considered a mother to show favor first?
I believe that everyone who has had trouble with their family knows that only time can dilute everything, and there is no one who will really be angry with his family after all, and Ai Jiatong is no exception.
Ai Jiatong and Tao Lei went back together, and Ai Jiaying started the opportunity given by Director Qiao despite everyone's opposition.
Family affection is not the same as love, family affection is forgivable and forgivable no matter how wrong or sad things are done, but love is not, this is the difference between love and family affection.
Ai Jiatong often calls Ai Jiaying, but Ai Jiaying is very busy, and she has to study on both sides, so that Ai Jiatong can't help but feel sorry for this sister, and sent her a lot of money to buy more food, because there has been nothing to do, so Ai Jiatong learned cooking, and now Ai Jiatong's cooking skills are very good, of course, thanks to Tao Lei's chef, she makes Tao Lei every time she learns a new dish, Tao Lei is equivalent to becoming a white mouse, every time he sees Ai Jiatong's new dish, he takes stomach medicine first......
In the cold winter, Ai Jiatong stays in the dormitory as long as he doesn't have to go out to socialize after work, and he never goes out......
The Beijing film press conference was crowded with reporters, and internationally famous directors and actors stood on the stage, all smiling to answer reporters' questions and posing for everyone to take pictures.
"Director Qiao, what is the expected box office of your movie that you spent a lot of money on?" The reporter asked.
"I'm not worried about the box office at all, we use first-class actors and first-class production skills, and I believe that people who will appreciate it will enter the cinema to watch my work." Qiao Dao said.
"Miss Bai Yuemei, did you make a movie with Mr. Zhou Chi, did you have any sparks?" The reporter asked.
Bai Yuemei glanced at Zhou Chi beside her and smiled, "Mr. Zhou Chi is the object of my admiration, I am very happy to be able to play with him, and I have learned a lot from him." β
"What about Mr. Zhou Chi? Miss Bai Yuemei is so beautiful, is she tempted? The reporter asked.
"A successful actor must fall in love with his heroine, as long as this is the way to make a good show, Miss Bai Yuemei is very good, the title of international white is not called in vain." Zhou Chi replied gently.
"Director Qiao, we watched some clips, and the poster also came out, isn't there a young lady who plays Mr. Zhou's fiancΓ©e? Now netizens are searching for human flesh and discussing whether she is the next Joe girl, but now she is missing from many press conferences, can you respond? The reporter asked.
"I believe this young lady also knows that she has filmed advertisements before, and her performance this time is just a coincidence, she does not have many scenes, and she herself has no intention of stepping into the showbiz, so I hope that the media will raise your noble hand, as for the next Miss Qiao, it will appear in my new work 'Remembering Youth', which will start filming in January, please look forward to it, thank you." Director Qiao said with a smile.
"Then, Director Qiao, this young lady."
"Okay, okay, that's all for today's press conference, thank you, thank you for coming." The moderator said on stage.
Director Qiao bowed and left with a group of actors, ignoring the fact that the reporters on the stage made a fuss.
Because it was a movie that she had a part in shooting, Ai Jiatong was very concerned, and she was startled when she saw that the reporters looked like they were going to get her to the bottom, and she was very worried, so she also called Director Qiao, and Director Qiao told her not to worry, she would not shift her attention to her.
On this day, Tao Lei was rarely free, he asked Ai Jiatong and Zeng Baifei to eat at the restaurant together, and before he started eating, Ai Jiatong's mobile phone rang.
"Hello, Director Qiao."
"Well, Jiatong, the movie premieres tomorrow night, I have already left you the ticket, do you want to come?"
"Well, okay, thank you." Ai Jiatong said with a smile.
"Nothing, do you need me to send a car to pick you up?"
"No, I can go by myself, but, can you give me another ticket?" Ai Jiatong glanced at Zeng Baifei and Tao Lei on the other side and asked.
"Of course, then I'll mail it to your unit."
"Okay, thank you."
"Well, there will be a celebration party after the premiere, you can come too, there will be no reporters, even if there are, they are all acquaintances, it doesn't matter."
"Okay, I got it."
"Well, let's do it first."
"Well, goodbye."
Ai Jiatong hung up the phone, Zeng Baifei looked at her curiously, Tao Lei was nothing, eating lunch leisurely.
