50. Chapter 50
"Raichu, get up!" Song Pingguo opened the heavy curtains in the bedroom, letting the sunlight outside shine directly on Lei Qiu, "It's time for the hibernation to end, right?" β
Raichu rolled over to avoid the glare of the sun, "The hibernation won't end until the sting, little Apple." β
"Then lie down on the bed until you are stung, and I will not provide food during this time." Song Pingguo made a gesture to turn around and leave the room, "For humanitarian reasons, I can provide you with some more water." β
"From the beginning of not providing food, it has nothing to do with humanitarianism." Raichu pulled the quilt up, "You can't be so cruel to your girlfriend. β
"If you don't get up for breakfast, I can be more cruel."
"Alright, I'll get up right away......" Raichu wrapped himself in the quilt and moved to the edge of the chair to grab his clothes, then threw himself back on the bed wrapped in the quilt, and began to get dressed, "Alas, how did winter pass so quickly." β
"I used to think you were a very diligent person, but now it seems that I was very wrong."
When Lei Qiu yawned and walked to the living room, Song Pingguo had already served all the breakfast on the table, hot porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and fried dough sticks that had just come out of the pot.
Raichu sat down at the table with a sigh of relief, grabbed the fritters with his right hand and put them in his mouth and took a bite, then reached under the glass of the table with his left hand and opened the script that had been placed on the shelf.
Compared with the scripts of other movies, the script of "The Basement" is not only not thin, but also a lot thicker, Gong Xiao is obviously not prepared to abide by the rules that should be followed when writing the script from the beginning, except for the necessary lines and descriptions, the script is almost full of annotations, at this time the protagonist is thinking about what Lei Qiu should pay attention to when acting, what she wants to express here - and so on, all of which are written, which greatly slows down the speed of Lei Chu's digestion of the script.
As soon as Lei Qiu read three pages, he specially called Gong Xiaoye to inform him: "I told you in advance, it is absolutely impossible for me to act according to what you wrote, and there will definitely be a lot of parts that I can play freely at that time." β
"Whatever you want! I believe in your strength! Gong Xiao also agreed to Lei Qiu very happily, and then hurriedly asked while Lei Qiu didn't hang up the phone, "Lei Qiu, I asked you a question seriously, and you answered me seriously." β
"Okay, you ask." Raichu was busy flipping through the script and absentmindedly replied, "I'll listen." β
Gong Xiao also took a deep breath: "...... Why do you think I haven't been able to catch up with mulberry branches so far? β
"Maybe it's because Sang Zhi is the kind of person who has been looking at himself in the mirror for too long, so he has become very picky about his appearance?"
"Don't you think that people all over the world are not good-looking enough because you are not good-looking, right?"
"Gong Tou'er, I'm taking care of your psychology, generally speaking, being single because of being ugly is the most uncomfortable reason for being single, at least you can comfort yourself that it is a congenital reason, not because you always want to be a play that gives people a very unreliable feeling."
"What do you say? Say it again. β
"I said, Sang Zhi doesn't fall in love with you because of your congenital reasons, not because you always want to play a play that gives people a very unreliable feeling."
"Raichu, what's wrong with you today?"
"Oh...... Little Apple told me to speak a little more tactfully, not so bluntly. β
"Then I really thank you for being tactful." Gong Xiao also gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, "You concentrate on preparing, I'm going to prepare too." β
Such a tactful way of speaking is really not suitable for Lei Qiu, she quickly wanted to ask before Gong Xiao successfully hung up the phone: "Are you going to prepare the basement or to prepare to chase the mulberry branch?" β
It's a pity that Gong Xiao also hung up the phone fast enough.
However, Lei Qiu still has deep sympathy for Gong Xiao's bumpy love life, she shrugged her shoulders, put down her phone, picked up the script, and began to study intently.
It's that Song Pingguo can't figure out why Sang Zhi just refuses to be with Gong Xiao, if he doesn't like it, it's fine, but the fool can see that these two people like each other?
"How do I know why." Lei Qiu shook his head helplessly, "Eight achievements are Cheng dΓΉ who hasn't liked Cheng dΓΉ who wants to fall in love?" Oh, I told you all that I don't really understand their homosexuality. β
"I don't really understand who they talk about in love." Song Pingguo sat next to Lei Qiu and glanced at her script, "I don't talk much about it." β
"Coincidentally, I don't talk much, except for the ones with scripts." Lei Qiu marked a line with the marker pen in his hand, "If the love in life also has a script, Gong Touer and Sang Zhi will not be so entangled, as long as they can clearly know what will happen next and clearly know the future, there will not be so many strange forward-looking futures." β
"Isn't that nonsense?" Song Pingguo poked her cheek, leaned on her shoulder and looked at the script together, "It's not just love at all, if there is a script in life, then almost every worry will disappear." β
"Because most of human fear comes from the fear of the unknown. I think the plot of "Basement" is a mix of all the unknowns, I don't know if I can survive, I don't know why I'm imprisoned here, I don't know what will happen in the next second...... When one feels helpless about one's fate, it is easy to fall into this despair. β
This kind of despair may seem like a rare experience, but it's actually very relatable.
No one knows exactly where their life path leads, no one knows what kind of people and what kind of things they will meet next, people are trapped on this planet all their lives, living with a fixed amount of food and water, because only by living can they have the opportunity to go to the outside world - just like the heroine who is locked in the basement, everyone is so small, so powerless.
"Wow......" Song Pingguo admired in surprise, "It turns out that the metaphor of this movie is so profound?" β
"No, no, no, this is my own interpretation that I added to it, Gong Touer really wants to write a curious story."
At this time, Lei Qiu's mobile phone rang, Qiu Yichen and Lei Xiaotian didn't know what they had sent her again, she hesitated a little, turned her head and asked Song Pingguo: "Little Apple, can you go down and help me get the courier?" β
"Why are you so appealing now?" After staying with Leiqiu in winter for a long time, Song Pingguo was also a little lazy, reluctantly got up from the sofa and went downstairs to get the express.
As Song Pingguo expected, Qiu Yichen and Lei Xiaotian worked tirelessly to sort out a box of apples and send them over.
Generally speaking, everyone likes to see "things sent from their hometown", and Song Pingguo ate a lot of hometown souvenirs brought by classmates in the same dormitory when she was in college. But it's one thing to eat souvenirs once in a while, and it's another thing to eat apples every day!
Could it be that since I was named Song Pingguo, my fate has been sealed?
Fortunately, the "one box" this time was not so amazing in terms of weight, Song Pingguo carried the box upstairs alone, and shouted for Lei Qiu to come over and help while knocking the door open with his elbow, only to find that Lei Qiu was not sitting at the table in the living room.
"Raichu?"
There was silence in the room, and there was no answer.
There was only one last fritter left on the plate where the fritters were placed, and the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork in the bowl had been scraped clean, and it looked like Raichu had finished eating and returned to her roomβbut her script was still spread out on the table, and the marker pen was caught in the script, showing no signs of leaving.
Song Pingguo put a whole box of apples in the corner of the kitchen, panting and pushing open the door: "Lei Qiu! Where have you gone? β
Song Pingguo turned back to the living room, she glanced at the script on the table, and suddenly thought of a very ridiculous possibility-Lei Qiu couldn't have found a small dark room to lock himself in, right?
The word absurd is probably misused, and it is not absurd at all when it is placed on a person like Raichu.
From the time Song Pingguo went downstairs to the time she signed for the big box of apples to the time she went upstairs, it was only a few minutes, and Lei Chu didn't have time to go out - besides, unless she jumped out of the window and went out, she would definitely bump into Song Pingguo downstairs.
In other words, at least she remained in the room, and there was basically only one place to hide.
Song Pingguo walked to the front of the storage room and knocked on the door: "Lei Qiu!" I see that you and Gong Xiao are the same, and they really want to come out one by one. β
"Oh, it's just to tease you...... You'll definitely guess I'm here anyway, that's too good to guess. Raichu's snicker came through the door panel, "Since you've found me, hurry up and open a door for me, this hellish place hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it's all dust......"
"Raichu."
"Huh?"
"I don't have the key."
"What did you say?"
"I said, I don't have the key...... Song Pingguo shook the doorknob and tried to open the door, but she obviously didn't have the strength to shake the lock of the explanation, "When I rented this house, the landlord gave me the key to the door and the keys to a few rooms, but she said that the key to the storage room was lost, and if I wanted to use the storage room, I would have to change the lock myself." I thought it was too much trouble, so I didn't care about it - you locked it yourself from the inside, can't you open it from the inside? β
There was a clicking sound in the door, and it seemed that Raichu was trying to turn the lock.
After Raichu's attempt failed, she pretended to be calm and asked Song Pingguo, "...... So what to do? β
"Why don't you stay inside and continue hibernation, it's nice to have the right light and be quiet."
