Chapter 39: Comfort Yourself as You Normally
I answered the phone while standing in the hot summer breeze, and then asked Angel eagerly, "How is it, have you heard from Mi Cai?" β
The silence on the other end of the phone, like a basin of cold water, poured on my body head-on, I realized that things did not develop as I expected, finally, Angel said to me in a low voice: "Zhaoyang, we went to find Wei Ran, he is very sure to tell us, Mi Cai She is not in the United States now, but he doesn't know where she went, and then we managed to find Yan Zhuomei, but she was very resistant to Mi Cai's departure from the United States. I judged that Mi Cai should have had a very strict conflict with her when she left the United States, she just said that Mi Cai went to other countries for vacation, as for when she will come back, it depends on Mi Cai's mood! β
I was stunned again, if Mi Cai was really out on vacation, it also meant that she had regained her freedom, and she was less monitored, so why didn't she contact me? Does she really regard "Mo Chou" as an irreversible contract between us, even if she is lonely, even if I worry about her day and night, I must regard the distance as an exam paper between us! β
Angel seemed to sense my feelings, and comforted: "Zhaoyang, don't worry too much, Mi Cai is the most measured woman I have ever seen in doing things, maybe she has experienced so much, all she needs is a solo trip I deeply understand, she is using this way to relieve pressure on herself!" β
"Hehe, if that's really the case, then I'm jealous of her current unrestrained and carefree!"
Angel was silent for a while, as smart as how could she not hear the grievances in my heart, and she finally said: "Anyway, I think you should give Mi Cai some trust, believe that she is justified in doing this, or, now she is also thinking about what appropriate way to get in touch with you again, what do you say?" β
"Hopefully, all my contact information hasn't changed anyway, and as long as she wants to contact me, it's only a matter of seconds."
"Well, give yourself some patience, and give Mi Cai some patience Many things are destined, just like me and Zhang Yixi, I once left him with hatred for nearly two years, and finally entrusted my life to him, so relax and throw all the incurable diseases in life to time to solve, it will always give us an answer!"
"Maybe you're right."
"You, don't come to the United States for the time being, we can be sure that Mi Cai is not in the United States, you still have peace of mind to do a good job in the country, you are not only burdened with love"
Perhaps, I am not a too rational person, but I also understand the responsibility I bear at this time, especially the responsibility to the investor, Zhang Yixi has made himself bankrupt for the road of literature and art, I can't be too selfish, so I decided to give myself another month, if there is no news of Mi Cai during this period, I don't want to be a too rational person, even if the world wanders, I want to find her but I believe more, she is also looking for a suitable way to contact me again, maybe a few days, I'm going to get a message from her, and I'm comforting myself in my heart.
I finally said to Angel: "If I can be sure that she is going on vacation, I will not run to the United States impulsively, I plan to wait and see, and wait for her to send me a message, thank you this time, I can't help but ruin your original planned trip." β
"These are small things, as a friend, I just hope that there can be more mutual understanding and trust between you and Mi Cai, so that there can be fewer twists and turns."
After the conversation with Anqi, the feeling in my heart is indescribable, the current situation is not terrible, but it is not as good as I imagined, I finally lost a qiΔ news about Mi Cai, but I don't know what mood she is in and what magnificent exotic territory she is traveling in.
I finally came to her door with the soup I had cooked for Janeway, and knocked on the door, and after a little wait she opened the door for me in her pajamas, looked at me in some surprise, and asked, "What are you doing at such a late hour?" β
"I cooked you some soup, stewed with wild walnuts and fish heads, which is very nutritious for the brain."
Jian Wei blocked the door and didn't give me a place to enter, she said, "You seem to be a little too good to me, you are just a friend of Dr. Mo, and we don't know each other very well!" β
I was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out some smiles and said: "I'm a friend of Dr. Mo, he asked me to take care of you before leaving, since I promised him, I should do things competently, but I'm very busy with work, otherwise I should have sent it to you before dinner." β
I entered her suite, and then found a rice cooker, and poured the soup that had been cooled into it to heat it up, I didn't communicate with Janeway in the process, just stood by the windowsill, looking at the very classical corridor of smoke and rain dotted with colored lights outside, at this moment, it seemed that the whole world was made by the quiet night out of the poetic taste, which made me indulge in it, so that I forgot the disturbances of the world.
The soup in the rice cooker was already boiling, but I didn't seem to have finished a dream, so I hurriedly came back to my senses, and under the soft light, I put the fish soup out again, put it on the coffee table, and said to Jian Wei: "The soup is still a little hot at this time, don't wash the bowl after you drink it in another five minutes, there will be a waiter to pick it up tomorrow!" β
"Oh."
I looked at her, and after a moment of silence, I said, "I should go back when you finish drinking and rest early." β
"Hmm."
I looked at her again, and finally turned and walked outside, but she opened the window, leaned on the carved wooden windowsill, and asked me under the flickering lights, "Will Dr. Zhaoyang Mo come back?" β
I stopped, looked back at her, smiled and asked, "Do you miss him so much?" β
"A little."
"Didn't he leave you a business card? You can try to give him a call or send a message, as long as you are brave and he will definitely give you an answer. β
Half a month later, Le Yao's film entered the post-production shooting as scheduled, and on this day, I fulfilled the promise I made to her and came to the city of Weihai with her to shoot the last shot in the whole movie for her.
This afternoon, her film crew and I stayed on a small island waiting for dusk to fall, and according to the script, I should carry a guitar on my back and let my back be reflected in the calm sea with the sunset, so this mood must be completed in a calm dusk.
Dusk was coming, the film crew was nervously preparing all the filming equipment, and Le Yao and I were sitting on the high reef, I was smoking, and she took the script and told me the feeling I was going to create later, she hoped that I could use my back to show a kind of loneliness that was secretly sad
I didn't think it was so difficult, but after nodding my head to show that I could do it, I looked intently at another island in the distance, which was different from the desolation of this island, where some fishermen lived, and I vaguely saw the wisps of cooking smoke rising from the chimney, and the seabirds fluttering their powerful wings, following the ethereal cooking smoke, and going west with the wind
I finally said to Le Yao beside me: "The island you dream of is probably like this, right?" β
Le Yao put down the script in her hand and looked up at my gaze, she replied with a smile: "It seems that everything should be there, but unfortunately there is still a man on the sail!" Hehe, fantasy is just fantasy after all, and it can't be equated with reality, I've seen this a long time ago! β
I smiled with her, didn't say anything more, and then threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, lying on the reef and looking at the sunset hanging on the sea level, I also became lazy, but in this laziness I thought of Mi Cai again, this has been more than half a month has passed, I still have no news of her, still look forward to it every day
The equipment for filming was finally ready, and after I got the instructions of the film crew, I pulled Le Yao down the reef, and then put on the somewhat heavy guitar on my back, facing the sea, looking at the island with the heroine's tombstone on the other side
Maybe it was because I hadn't participated in the filming of this movie before, so I couldn't brew that kind of sad feeling, and soon this indifference came out on my body, Le Yao stopped the shooting, sat down next to the camera and said to me dissatisfiedly: "Zhaoyang, what about secretly hurting yourself?" What about the lonely back? It's going to get dark and we have half an hour to go at most, so you need to get ready and get the picture I want, or you'll have to wait until tomorrow to shoot! β
I turned around and made an OK gesture, then closed my eyes and faced the magnificent sea again, and I subconsciously took out the wedding ring that I hadn't put on for Mi Cai from my pocket
I opened my eyes and stared, only to see the afterglow of the sunset falling on the ring, as if telling a kind of grievance, my love was finally brewed, and then I remembered the heroine's tombstone on the opposite island, my heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade, I knew that this was just the plot of the movie, but I still unconsciously substituted myself, I lowered my head in pain, and took a step forward with my body on my back, and the surging sea water instantly wet the leather shoes on my feet
The last shot of Le Yao shouting through guΓ² finally came from behind me, and I only used it twice to get through guΓ², but my love xΓΉ still couldn't come out of this tragic ending, and I didn't look back for a long time to face the group of people who were reveling because they were completely done!
It wasn't until I heard Le Yao's crying behind me that I turned my head and saw all the staff around her, asking her with concern what was wrong and why she was crying so sadly
She wiped away her tears and smiled, but she still choked up and told her team, she cried only because the filming work had been completed, she was reluctant to this crew, and even more reluctant to everyone in the crew, so everyone's feelings were also infected by her sadness, and they wiped their tears, indeed, this crew has been established for more than half a year, and the members have feelings between them, they have been working day and day for this drama, and they have traveled to several countries, and the hard work and friendship established in the hard work are only known to themselves.
So, I became the only one in the whole scene who didn't shed a tear, I once again left everyone behind, turned to look at the sea, and I comforted myself as usual: wait, wait, maybe Mi Cai will bring me her latest news in an unpredictable way tonight!!
