60.The End (I)
Chapter 59: Regret is so long
Wen Jiang admitted: "You think too much, it's just that the individual words in the poem look more pleasing to the eye." β
Just looking at certain words that look pleasing to the eye?
Xin Lingxi sighed, wanted to complain, and endured it again.
Xin Lingxi re-read the poem "Mountain Walk".
Those lines lay quietly on the yellowed white paper, and she didn't think there was anything special about any of the words in the poem.
But seeing that Jiang didn't seem to be telling a lie, Xin Lingxi mobilized his brain cells and began to guess: "This poem contains someone's name?" β
Hearing Jiang Zheng's eyes reading the music, his eyes suddenly shifted to look at Xin Lingxi's face.
Xin Lingxi smiled, and immediately understood: "Yes, I guessed correctly, my father was really prescient when he gave me this name." β
Wen Jiang also smiled, laughing a little too deliberately, and a treacherous light flashed between his eyes: "You always have such a good heart with me, what else do you want a man to do." β
Xin Lingxi didn't answer Jiang's words, poked Jiang's shoulder lightly and asked, "What about the person you said last time to let me see what nose and eyes he has, see you this time?" β
Wen Jiang didn't give an answer immediately after hearing this, but glanced at his phone a few times.
She hadn't told Lu Shihan about her friend Xin Lingxi's existence and the fact that Xin Lingxi was in her apartment.
The last time we met, when she mentioned these tight schedules, Lu Shihan said that if she was busy and didn't have time to see him, he would come to her.
Wen Jiang glanced at the text message he received, and told Xin Lingxi: "People are already on their way here, and they should be almost there." β
Lu Shihan sent a text message a moment ago: I'll go over in a while.
What he has said has never been a blank check.
Xin Lingxi is here, Lu Shihan can't stay overnight, but Wen Jiang will not refuse Lu Shihan to come to the door.
Sharing her life with Lu Shihan, introducing her friends to Lu Shihan, and introducing Lu Shihan to them is a plan that Wen Jiang has long had and has not yet put into practice.
***
As soon as Jiang Jiang's voice fell, the inner line in the apartment suddenly sounded.
Xin Lingxi laughed a little meaningfully when he heard the bell: "It's so fast, the speed is good, hey, how about the body?" β
Wen Jiang picked up the manuscript that had not yet been put away and threw it in her face: "Pay attention to proportions later, don't talk about the people who scare me." β
Wen Jiang walked over in a few steps, picked up the internal phone at the entrance of the apartment, and only heard the security of the community say a word, so she turned around and looked back at Xin Lingxi.
When I heard Jiang's eyes as bright as the stars outside the window, it instantly seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and the gray veil hung a whole layer.
Xin Lingxi was inexplicably seen by Wen Jiang's hesitant expression.
Wen Jiang only said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Yes, please open the door for him." β
Wen Jiang quickly hung up the phone, walked back to Xin Lingxi's side in a few steps, and solemnly told Xin Lingxi: "People can be outside the door in two minutes, you can't see it, you make your own choice." β
Wen Jiang didn't name and say who that person was, but Xin Lingxi already understood.
Except for Xu Lai, it won't be anyone else.
But Xu Lai will find it, Xin Lingxi is not unsurprised.
Wen Jiang still didn't know what was going on, and Xin Lingxi didn't know where to start for a while.
During these days, her and Xu Lai's relationship for several years quickly fell apart and fell apart, so fast that it felt unreal to her.
But when it came time to state the reason to a third person, she couldn't quickly explain it in a few words.
Xin Lingxi only looked up at Wen Jiang, and after learning the news that Xu Lai was about to appear, her relaxed and flirtatious expression disappeared, and there was even a trace of dependence on Wen Jiang in her eyes: "You say, do I see it or not?" β
For this multiple-choice question, Wen Jiang did not have the right to choose for her.
But the hesitation revealed in Xin Lingxi's question, based on Wen Jiang's understanding of her over the years, Wen Jiang already has an answer.
Xin Lingxi will hesitate, indicating that her heart is already biased towards seeing.
The obvious answer is, "See." β
**
After Xu Lai went upstairs, it was Wen Jiang who came to open the door.
This was exactly the same situation he expected, Xu Lai did not show an anxious or lost look on his face, and he handed a black woven tote bag to Wen Jiang.
After officially changing to a new owner, he shouted that Jiang also had a new title: "Senior sister." β
Wen Jiang stood motionless at the door.
Xu Lai was not invited to come in the door, nor was he asked to leave.
Wen Jiang didn't even take the handbag that Xu Lai handed forward.
After hitting the wall, Xu Lai didn't show any discomfort in his expression, but said: "She is in a hurry, these things are often inseparable from her, please take them in." β
Wen Jiang still didn't stretch out his arm to pick up the woven bag, but only asked, "I took it, and then, you're leaving?" β
Xu Lai did not deny it.
Wen Jiang endured a "heh": "I thought you were here to find her and see her." β
Xu Lai moved his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Wen Jiang just wanted to close the door to see off the guests, but there was a force behind her that dragged her to the side.
It is self-evident who this power comes from, Wen Jiang consciously retreated to the back, leaving the space at the door to two people.
*******
Xin Lingxi stepped forward and took the black woven bag that Xu Lai had always handed forward, even if Wen Jiang didn't take it over, he didn't take it back: "The things are delivered, you can go." β
Xu Lai looked at her quietly, his face had always been pale, and at the moment it was even more bloody: "You're good." β
Xu Lai turned around as soon as he finished speaking, and Xin Lingxi saw his back and suddenly threw out the black woven bag he had just taken over, smashing it into the back that Xu Lai left for her.
After this blow, Xu Lai stopped, but did not look back.
Xin Lingxi's instantly hoarse voice immediately sounded behind Xu Lai's ears: "You have a terminal illness?" β
Xu Lai's throat rolled violently and replied, "No." β
Xin Lingxi continued to ask: "Your adoptive parents forced you again?" β
Xu Lai still denied: "No." β
Xin Lingxi paused, and then asked: "You need money, do you have a handle in the hands of others?" β
Xu Lai still had a similar reaction: "Neither." There is no other her, it has been too long, this is the most normal result. β
After so many years of walking together, a few words can declare the end.
Xin Lingxi sighed, and at the last moment remembered to maintain his dignity: "You remember that you gave up first." Xu Lai, I said to break up, but you give up first, don't go down together. You can go away and never come back. β
Xu Laiying: "Okay." I won't come again. If you're good, you should be ...... I haven't been here before. β
***
Xu came and walked fast.
To Wen Jiang's surprise, Xin Lingxi threw aside the black woven bag sent by Xu Lai, and quickly calmed down, his face was as usual.
Not long ago, he met Xu Lai in the company, and Wen Jiang remembered that Xu Lai wanted her to keep it secret at that time, and asked her to give him time, and he would deal with it.
At that time, Wen Jiang clearly remembered that although Xu Lai's expression was confused and hesitant, it was more confidence after thinking.
At that time, he was firmly convinced that he and Xin Lingxi would have a future.
It's not been long since she last met Xu Lai, what happened in between?
Wen Jiang frowned together, and kicked the puppet at Xin Lingxi's feet: "Did you really decide to break up, there is no hidden secret?" β
Xin Lingxi smiled: "Didn't you hear that I confirmed it again just now?" No. β
If someone who knows about this underground affair asks her what the reason for the relationship is, she will break up peacefully except for her vulgar personality...... I really can't think of any other way to say it.
Xu said that she would change the new owner, and she didn't feel the sudden low contact frequency.
When this sister-brother relationship began, the people around me were not optimistic.
Xu Lai's sudden rise to popularity in recent years does not mean that she is without pressure.
This kind of relationship, which was forced to end because of less contact and indifference, without much explanation, was almost the worst thing she had ever encountered in the past thirty years.
Wen Jiang snorted: "If you want to know, you have to ask, if you don't try, it's stupid to take what you guessed as the truth; But if you can't ask it, you have to die. β
Xin Lingxi tilted at her: "Ready to be reasonable? I remember that I started my first love before you. β
Wen Jiang shrugged: "Coupled with the emotional experience of the characters I have played, I am richer than you." A little later doesn't stop me from giving you some pointers once in a while. β
She even asked Xin Lingxi: "Should I lend you shoulder, or should I lend you something else?" β
Xin Lingxi really had to lean on her side, the two were already sitting side by side, Xin Lingxi moved, and really had to put his head on Wen Jiang's shoulder: "Borrow both." β
Xin Lingxi wrapped his arm around Wen Jiang's arm: "Wenwen, men come and go, and you are the only woman who accompanies me......"
Wen Jiang listened quietly, Xin Lingxi closed his eyes and continued: "The more I live, the older I get, the more I feel that love is a very ridiculous and cruel thing. At the beginning, you will feel that you can do anything for the other party, even if you are willing to do it; But at the end of the day, you may even want to ask why you want to take the initiative to contact the other party and say a word of retention? I took the initiative to ask him, probably tomorrow when he woke up and regretted it. Maybe I'm really that kind of career-type person, and I don't even want to shed any tears when he leaves. β
Xin Lingxi hugged Wen Jiang's left arm, and Wen Jiang touched the top of her head with his right hand.
*****
Lu Shihan arrived later than Wen Jiang imagined.
Lu Shihan left her the access card of his apartment before, and the gift was still exchanged, and Wen Jiang also gave him a gift in return.
When the doorbell rang, Wen Jiang took the sleepy Xin Lingxi off her body and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Shihan took off his mask.
Wen Jiang retreated to the door, but after dozens of hours, the bandages on his arms disappeared.
Wen Jiang could see it, only to see him raise his legs lightly, stretch out his arms and walk in, put his arms on her waist, and let her go in his arms again.
Wen Jiang looked at him, straightforward and straightforward: "I thought you would hold it for a little longer." β
Lu Shihan closed the door behind him and smiled: "Don't you have to do it in one go for a long time, and don't allow people to continue unfinished?" β
He reciprocated to her, but his body did not move further.
Wen Jiang waited for three seconds and told him, "My friend is here." β
Lu Shihan nodded and waited for her to continue.
Wen Jiang glanced back, and met Xin Lingxi's eyes, she first introduced to Lu Shihan, who was close: "Xin Lingxi, my friend." β
He turned around and said to Xin Lingxi: "Lu Shihan." β
The two gestured to each other as she gave her a short introduction.
Xin Lingxi then said very consciously: "I'll go to the bedroom to catch up on sleep first." β
As soon as she withdrew, Lu Shihan didn't go to the living room again, but stood where he was and said to Wen Jiang: "I'm coming to see you, I can't stay for a long time." The itinerary is early, and I will go northwest tonight. Tomorrow's screening, you can't watch it together. β
Wen Jiang: "I'm in the guest seat, you're in the middle, and you can barely watch it together, it's a pity." β
What she cares about is, "When will you come back?" β
Lu Shihan lowered his eyes, his thoughts were precipitated on Wen Jiang's face at the moment, looking at the look between her eyebrows, carefully examining her every trace of expression.
"Do your best", he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the back of Wen Jiang's neck and hooked the back of her head, bringing her in front of him, "When you need me, I'll be back."
The body was hooked in front of him by Lu Shihan, and Wen Jiang could feel his warm breath spurting against her eyebrows and lips.
She sighed: "At such a close distance, it seems that a woman can only do one thing to a man. β
Kiss.
Hearing Jiang Xiao, at the moment when she tiptoed slightly, Lu Shihan took the first step and lowered his head and put his lips on her lips.
From gentle sucking to intense entanglement, the temperature between the lips and tongue is getting higher and higher, and the two bodies that are close to each other are getting hotter and hotter.
The kiss was all over before it ended.
Smelling ginger's lips was red, and there was a little mist between his eyes.
Lu Shihan picked her up horizontally and carried her from the entrance to the sofa in the living room.
Wen Jiang sat on the sofa, he slowly squatted down, squatted in front of Wen Jiang, and took out a magnetic card from his pocket: "This is the backup of my apartment access card." β
He took Wen Jiang's hand, opened it, and put the access card in for Wen Jiang to hold: "I'll ask you to get it when I come back." β
That way, she would know when he was coming back and where she was.
To find her is to find the way to open the door of the house.
Wen Jiang was not polite, and put it away: "Anything else to instruct?" β
Lu Shihan shook his head: "No." Wen Jiang, you are already an adult. β
So should a qiΔ be able to take care of oneself can be reassuring?
According to the routines of all the scripts she has received, when he comes, shouldn't all the lines be related to a warm goodbye?
Hearing Jiang Dengshi, he broke free from his sensual feelings: "You think about it carefully, think about it clearly, whether you want to say it again." β
Lu Shihan smiled, shook her hand, ignored her fierceness, and only said, "It's time to go." β
He stood up and didn't say anything else, Wen Jiang stood up with his movements, and inevitably gritted his teeth.
Lu Shihan walked out, and Wen Jiang stood in place.
He walked a few steps behind the door, then suddenly turned around and added, "I'm leaving." When I don't see you, I'll miss you when I'm free. β
Wen Jiang's reflex arc was slightly longer at the moment, and when she changed her smiling face, Lu Shihan had already disappeared in front of the door.
****
Lu Shihan left Wen Jiang and was going straight to the airport.
Cheng Fang was still waiting for him on the side of the road outside Wenjiang Community.
On this trip to the northwest, Lu Shihan revisited some of the places he had walked through last time and Cheng Fang, and excerpted some of the exterior scenes in advance.
The camera team, which has cooperated many times, went west with them, and as soon as Lu Shihan got in the car, Cheng Fang asked: "Brother Han, are you really not on a flight with us?" Leaving tonight? β
Lu Shihan hummed: "You guys will leave tomorrow morning and go directly to Licheng, and I'll take a detour." Go tonight, and you can meet at the same time. β
The ticket was booked by Cheng Fang, he was not curious about where the destination was, but he was curious about what Lu Shihan was going to do: "Brother, do you want me to book an additional one to accompany you first?" β
Lu Shihan refused: "No, I'll deal with some personal matters." β
Cheng Fang still wanted to ask, but as soon as he spoke, he was blocked by Lu Shihan again: "It has nothing to do with you." β
Cheng Fang had no choice but to let go of his curiosity.
He sent Lu Shihan to the airport.
As soon as the person was sent away, Cheng Fang's mobile phone rang again.
The caller's number was never saved, but he knew who the caller's number was - it was his stepmother.
Cheng Fang didn't answer.
This is already the fifth call from the Cheng family in a week, with whom he has almost dissociated.
But he didn't answer, this time the caller didn't give up, after the phone was automatically interrupted, the other party sent a message: sister is sick, call back.
Cheng was relieved and called the phone back.
*****
When Lu Shihan arrived at Qiaocheng, which was not far from Licheng, the night was still dark.
This northern city was unfamiliar to him, and he set foot in it for the first time in his life.
If you want to go to Qicheng, you should go to Qiaocheng a little in advance to have a look, it is not his whim.
Because in addition to being a famous ancient city in the north, Qiaocheng is also the place where Wen Jiang lived when he was young.
Before the poisoning case that changed the fate of Wen and Qi's family, it was the city where the girl Wen Jiang lived.
Lu Shihan didn't have much information in his hands.
Wen Jiang's life history before college, except for the draft debut, the information that can be searched on the portal is extremely limited.
Fu Yansheng helped find someone to find it, and he only got the names of two schools.
Qiaocheng is a small school, and Qiaocheng is 14 middle schools.
This is the elementary and junior high school that Wen Jiang studied.
**
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, Lu Shihan began to walk around the city.
He went to Qiaocheng No. 14 Middle School first.
Integrity Weekend, there was almost no one at school.
The control of entering and leaving the school gate is not strict, the doorman stopped him, Lu Shihan explained that he was an early alumnus, and he wanted to go back to the school to have a look, so he was able to enter.
It's already the season for everything to grow, but there is not much vegetation in the school, and it looks extremely empty.
Several buildings with obvious functions are displayed in the middle, and you can see the whole school from the school gate.
The campus buildings in the north are relatively simple in color, and the teaching building of this junior high school looks very old, and it should have been renovated later, which must be far from the appearance of Wen Jiang when he was a student.
Lu Shihan walked on the plastic track in the playground.
In the stands on the side, a pair of boys and girls in school uniforms sat and chatted together.
Lu Shihan looked at it from a distance, and immediately could capture the carefree and brilliant appearance of the two of them laughing and playing.
He began to imagine how the young Wen Jiang had laughed and grown up in this space at the same age when he was growing like a sunflower.
The little girl who called his brother to give him candy back then came out of here and walked into his world.
He still owes her a confession.
When he returns to N City, he will open his mouth to sue her for a qiΔ.
***
Leaving Qiaocheng No. 14 Middle School, Lu Shihan went to Qiaocheng for a small time.
It coincided with the school's 80th anniversary and the school was opened to the public.
It may be because the celebration month has lasted long enough, and although there are people visiting the campus, there are not many people in the school.
Lu Shihan walked along a road of banyan trees that had been planted for many years and had thick and flourishing branches in the school, and there were some propaganda boards on both sides.
Lu Shihan looked over and found that it was the introduction of some schools and the list of well-known alumni.
He looked at the propaganda boards one by one, and on one of them, he finally found Wen Jiang's name.
This city is not big, but it is not small, and Wen Jiang is one of the public figures whose ancestral home is Qiaocheng.
Lu Shihan read the short text introduction on the propaganda board, which is the text that most people in the world use to describe Wen Jiang: XX alumni. Chinese pop singer and actress. Over the years, it has won many trophies in the industry, and has achieved remarkable results. He is also passionate about public welfare and has made a positive social impact.
How would Wen Jiang himself react when he saw this statement?
Lu Shihan couldn't help laughing, she would be disgusted, he could almost imagine Wen Jiang's frowning.
Two color-printed photographs are attached to the text.
One is a photo of Wen Jiang now, and the other is a young photo of Wen Jiang with extremely immature eyebrows.
Lu Shihan took out his mobile phone, pointed at the photo of the immature Wen Jiang, and took a picture of it.
Even if he walked the same path that Wen Jiang had walked, he still couldn't get closer to her past.
But the preservation of the past is to remind people to cherish the future.
Those pasts that he did not participate in, he did not want to go back in time; All her future, he will go ahead and spend it with her.
***
A few days after Lu Shihan left, Wen Jiang finished working on the platform for "Old Man", and set off for the film and television base to shoot "The Legend of Xuan Jiang".
The meeting with Gu Sui was also repeatedly postponed.
The TV series has already started, and Wen Jiang is already one of the actors who joined the group relatively late because he is going to run the roadshow of "Old Man".
Wen Jiang's first few scenes were all in cooperation with his old partner Cheng Jing.
Because of director Wei Li's strict style, the atmosphere on the set was relatively not so relaxed, and at the end of the day, the two didn't have time to talk about the old days on the set except for walking, listening to Wei Li's talk and exchanging their understanding of the roles and scenes.
After the night shooting, Cheng Jingcai insisted on picking up the wind for Wen Jiang.
Wen Jiang knew that Cheng Jing's character was a very important factor, and after refusing to see the results, he chose to accept it.
There are film crews filming in the film and television city all year round, and there are more and more businesses around it in recent years, and the entertainment venues and catering venues are becoming more and more diverse.
The surrounding masses have seen too many artists over the years, and it is no longer strange.
It's also easier for people to go in and out of these places.
Cheng Jing chose a club on the periphery of the film and television city, and by the way of giving Wen Jiang a reason to catch the wind, he invited the crew of the two film crews that he had cooperated with the most since the start of the filming.
A group of people rushed straight into the box, and after Wen Jiang entered the box, he sat in the corner to reduce his sense of storage after greeting everyone.
After Cheng Jing greeted everyone, he leaned towards her, leaned into her ear through the hustle and bustle of the room and asked, "Tired?" β
Wen Jiang denied: "I haven't participated in this kind of occasion for too long, I'm not used to it." β
Cheng Jing was a little skinny: "You can adapt to me." β
Wen Jiang squinted slightly: "Stay away from me." β
Cheng Jing knew the degree of certainty, and didn't get closer to her: "Listen to you." β
Smelling Jiang Bai, he glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
However, Cheng Jing couldn't help but gossip, and told her the interesting story in the group before she joined the group: "Director Wei asked the little junior sister to take charge of a scene a few days ago, and made our female number two cry. β
Little junior sister?
Wen Jiang reacted for a moment before remembering that it was Chen Xitang.
Female number two?
Wen Jiang thought for a while before he got on the number, the second female number of "The Legend of Xuan Jiang" was Tang Wei.
Cheng Jing continued: "I didn't have lines in that scene, so I sat there as a human flesh background. She kept NG, and Director Wei watched again, I can't go, I have to continue to sit down with dedication as a human background, and I am about to sit out of spondylosis after filming for a long time. β
Wen Jiang glanced at his appearance of being paralyzed on the soft collapse of the clubhouse, and said, "The way you are paralyzed in bed now is good for your spine?" Less poverty. β
Cheng Jing immediately sat upright, sat solemnly and looked at Wen Jiang.
The crew was still making a fuss, and Cheng Jing and Wen Jiang sat in this corner of the box and no one bothered.
He looked, and Wen Jiang let him see it.
Cheng Jing thought for half a minute, and finally retracted his gaze and decided to confess to Wen Jiang: "I'm quite happy to see her NG, I heard about it." β
Wen Jiang rewarded him with a straight eye: "Don't play with me, you understand, I understand." β
Cheng Jing smiled: "You have such a temper, alas! β
He then explained: "When you recorded the show, there was a choreographer who was a ferromagnetic man, and he knew that you were my idol, so he made a small report to me." β
Wen Jiang didn't show any emotion, but said lightly: "Oh." β
Cheng Jing was not shocked by Wen Jiang's cold reaction: "I don't like the fact that some little princesses in the circle always want to be self-respecting and humble. β
Wen Jiang said, "You like it." β
Cheng Jing laughed angrily at her indifferent reaction when she stayed out of the matter: "I won't beat her, don't you allow me to gloat?" β
Wen Jiang turned around and looked at Cheng Jing solemnly: "You won't always mention these people to me who have nothing to do with me, I will like them more." β
Cheng Jing: "You really don't mind? Everyone wants to ride on top of their predecessors. β
Wen Jiang glanced at him: "You can consider breaking off relations with you, adding oil and vinegar is not a good habit of life." I never mind only the important things. β
Cheng Jing smiled when he heard this: "What is something important?" β
He tentatively mentioned a name: "Lin Xisheng?" β
Wen Jiang immediately cooled down.
Cheng Jing knew that he was speechless, but he had no chance to withdraw and start over.
Wen Jiang stood up, and did not leave directly in Cheng Jing's panic and uneasiness, but softly told him in a volume that only Cheng Jing could hear: "That's the past, I can't erase it." Even if it's not a good time to get together, I don't want to be ashamed of my past years. Cheng Jing, have I told you many times that I am not your beloved? Change the goal, I have found the important person, he is there, I will not have the next man. If he's not there, he'll be the last. You know I'm just telling the truth. I never wanted to play, I refused, it was never really possible. You remember to listen to me. β
***
After leaving the box, Wen Jiang did not go outside the clubhouse, but stood on the open-air balcony of the clubhouse to blow the wind.
The inherent thinking pattern of human beings is very stubborn.
The night was dark, and Cheng Jing's words made Wen Jiang a little irritable for no reason.
Wen Jiang has witnessed the experience of being tied up with his predecessor for several years after the marriage change of his predecessors in the circle.
The name Lin Xisheng will not be completely divorced from her in recent years, and in such a situation, every time she thinks of the situation Lu Shihan will be in in the future in public opinion, she wants to grit her teeth.
The friends next to her will still mention the former degree in front of her, not to mention the public who occasionally use the artist's private affairs as a pastime.
***
After standing for about a quarter of an hour, there was a movement in the adjoining toilet on one side of the terrace.
Wen Jiang wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, she seemed to hear someone screaming from the direction of the bathroom.
Wen Jiang pressed the bell of the waiter set up in the corridor of the clubhouse, and then walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Before she could push the door, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling from inside.
After the play, in order to come out to participate in this reception banquet, Wen Jiang's outfit was quite casual and simple, which provided convenience for his actions at the moment.
She kicked open the doorβbehind which Wen Jiang was in sightβthe backs of a woman and a man who had been squeezed into the bathroom by a medium-sized man, with a slightly messy collar.
Wen Jiang subconsciously squinted his eyes to assess the situation, and at the same time saw the woman's face clearly at the moment of breaking the door, it turned out to be Chen Xitang.
Wen Jiang frowned, barely thought about it, raised his leg and slashed at the back of the man's neck while shouting to Chen Xitang: "Run." β
The attacker who suddenly appeared behind him instantly attracted all the man's attention, and he suddenly let go of the hand that had restrained Chen Xitang before.
Seeing this, Chen Xitang took the opportunity to quickly run out and retreated behind Wen Jiang.
Wen Jiang stood in place, and the moment the man turned around and saw her face clearly, his eyes lit up.
"Get out", she tilted her head back slightly, and said to Chen Xitang behind her, "Tidy up your own clothes and stay away from here."
The moment the words fell, the man took a step forward.
Wen Jiang picked up the wooden bench lying on the ground on the side, bit his lower lip, first bent over and leaned right to avoid the other party's touch, and then leaned forward to smash the wooden stool against the man's face.
At the moment when the man hid, Wen Jiang quickly retreated to the bathroom, slammed the bathroom door shut, and bolted the door from the outside.
***
Door-banging and swearing were heard from inside the restroom to outside.
When Wen Jiang left the bathroom door and walked out, he saw Chen Xitang negotiating with the waiters in the clubhouse.
Chen Xitang was a little calmer than she expected.
In this short period of time, Chen Xitang has already informed the waiter to call the police, and at the same time, the waiter will further pass the news to the superiors, and notify the security to go upstairs to deal with follow-up problems.
Seeing Wen Jiang coming over, Chen Xitang looked at her slowly, and finally completely focused his eyes on Wen Jiang's body.
The picture when Wen Jiang suddenly appeared, and Wen Jiang's thin back standing in front of her, as well as Wen Jiang's neat skills, Chen Xitang still remembers.
Someone in the circle once commented that Wen Jiang was a maverick.
Some people have also said that smelling ginger is cool.
But Chen Xitang recalled those clips of Shicai, but every time he came into contact with Wen Jiang before, Wen Jiang's behavior and words only felt that this woman was ...... Handsome.
"Thank you." As he got closer, Chen Xitang's voice was a little low, but it still reached Wen Jiang's ears clearly.
Wen Jiang: "You're welcome, I happened to meet it, so I started and didn't think too much about it." It's impossible for me to beat him hard, and I'm not as pompous as the people in the play who can still play one-to-many. I'm just running one step slower than you. β
Wen Jiang's words seemed to mean that her actions just now were completely unintentional.
She said that her help was not worth mentioning.
Chen Xitang shook his head: "No matter what, in short, you helped me." β
Wen Jiang frowned: "I learned a little bit about filming before, it's your luck to meet people instead of having no one around when you need them." β
Chen Xitang: "I should have come over early and come with everyone, so that I wouldn't provoke such ill-intentioned people because of my own actions." β
The night through the window was even richer, and the wind blew the ends of the hair covering his face, presenting Chen Xitang's face completely in front of Wen Jiang's eyes.
Chen Xitang had a finger pinch mark on his face.
The red marks were especially obvious against the white light of the moment, against the background of her fair skin.
Wen Jiang moved her lower lip, and only told her at the end: "Remember to protect yourself when you encounter danger, the most important thing is to protect yourself, people still have to rely on themselves." β
Wen Jiang didn't say anything more to her, she turned around and planned to go back to the hotel after saying goodbye to everyone in the box.
But as soon as she turned around and took a step, suddenly Chen Xitang reached out and grabbed the hem of her long shirt: "Smell ...... Sister. β
Wen Jiang turned his head, and inexplicably felt that it was a little strange to hear this title from Chen Xitang's mouth.
Miss Chen also told her very frankly not long ago that because of the relationship between the two of them, she might say bad things about herself in front of Lu Shihan.
Why did you suddenly become "sister"?
Wen Jiang stopped his steps and turned to look at Chen Xitang.
Chen Xitang's eyes were lowered, and he didn't look directly at Wen Jiang's eyes: "I now understand why he likes you, you are very similar." Do you know where the wound on Brother Han's face came about? β
Wen Jiang was silent and waited for Chen Xitang to continue.
She once asked Lu Shihan, but Lu Shihan chose to change the topic.
Throwing out the question, Chen Xitang raised his head: "I have often asked him since I met him for a long time, but he never said why." It was my dad who sued me. β
Wen Jiang waited for that answer: "You say." β
Chen Xitang's eyelashes trembled, and he sighed in his words: "Before graduation, they went out to shoot their homework and did the robbed person a favor, which was a souvenir." β
Souvenir?
Smell ginger has some stalks in his throat.
She suddenly missed Lu Shihan a little.
His heart was never hotter than his words.
She already knew.
She was going to leave early in the morning, but after Chen Xitang said this, Wen Jiang rarely opened his mouth and added: "I help you because if he encounters this matter today, he will not stand idly by." You swiped his favor card, you remember to thank him. β
She is willing to bring more kindness into Lu Shihan's life.
Hearing Jiang's words, he turned around and left, this time Chen Xitang stood in place and watched her leave.

The wind in the film and television city is blowing fiercely, but the wind in the city seems to be there.
Lu Shihan announced the end of work under the expectation of everyone, which attracted several applause.
The moon in the north always makes people feel farther from the horizon, the sky is vast, and the moon is not satisfied, like most things and things in this world, it is missing a piece and will not be perfect.
Before Lu Shihan got into the car, he found that the side of the body was a little red and bright.
The moment the red light completely disappeared, Cheng Fang walked out of the darkness.
When Cheng Fang saw Lu Shihan, he was a little annoyed by being caught, and shouted with great confidence: "Brother Han." β
Lu Shihan looked at Cheng Fang, who was standing stiffly at the moment, and only instructed him: "Get in the car." β
The accompanying personnel had already decorated and drove the rented vehicles out one by one, and in the end, only Cheng Fang and Lu Shihan were left in the same place.
"How many years have you been with me?" In the silence with only the slight churning of leaves, Lu Shihan suddenly asked.
Cheng Fang: "It's been more than three years. β
Lu Shihan looked at him sideways: "In addition to the employment relationship, with the personal relationship in the past few years, I thought you still trusted me." β
Cheng Fang immediately clarified: "Brother, I believe you." β
Lu Shihan nodded: "In that case, let's talk about what happened." β
Cheng Fang immediately denied: "No." β
Lu Shihan didn't force him, only said: "In addition to listening, I will also refer to the facts I see with my eyes." If you don't say that I won't force you, but a man has a responsibility, which is not the same as having something to shoulder. β
Cheng Fang's face turned pale, moved his lips a few times, and finally said partially: "I haven't sued you, I have a family." β
Lu Shihan hummed.
He knew, but Cheng Fang thought he didn't know, so he didn't mention it.
The Jing Yuan family in the northeast, as far as he knows, is not unknown.
"My sister is sick", Cheng Fang clenched his fists, "the transplant donor gave up, but she may not be able to wait for the next one".
Lu Shihan stared at him.
Cheng Fang moved his lips at the end to say something, but he didn't make a sound.
He has something to hide.

Lu Shihan informed Han Feiyu, one of the partners who opened "Ten" together, and asked him to help verify it, but he received a call from Han Feiyu at one o'clock in the morning.
Han Feiyu's voice was extremely calm: "Sixteen, it's not good news. β
Lu Shihan was already mentally prepared: "I'm prepared, you say." β
Han Feiyu sighed: "The part he sued you is all true. Things are tricky, and the people who give up the donation have something to do with you and the old man. β
Lu Shihan pursed his lips, and there was already a faint guess in his mind.
Han Feiyu continued: "Chengzhidong of Dacheng Petrochemical, you should be familiar with it. β
How can it be strange?
After the launch of "Gray Country", he and Fu Yansheng have already encountered a siege and interception by a ruffian hired by Cheng Zhidong.
After the video was released, one of Cheng's factories was exposed for illegal sewage discharge, which for years caused a large number of crops to die around the factory site, farmers had no way to complain, and even caused many local people to suffer from a series of chronic diseases due to water pollution, which caused a very bad social impact.
Cheng's stock price plummeted, the market value evaporated rapidly, and the subsidiary factory was punished by the relevant departments for suspension of production and rectification.
In Cheng Zhidong's eyes, he and Fu Yansheng are probably thorns in the flesh.
Lu Shihan asked: "The donors who gave up their donations are family members?" β
Han Feiyu gave him a positive answer: "Yes, it is the youngest daughter of the second brother of Cheng Zhidong." They didn't find out about the relationship in the morning, and the little girl who got married was a volunteer for a long time, so she really wanted to donate, not make a show. This incident is probably the damn coincidence in the rumors. β
That's an even worse outcome.
Because they so-called speak up for the environment...... And an innocent life can be lifeless.
Lu Shihan straightened his back and opened the window to let the early morning wind pour into the hotel room: "What else?" β
Han Feiyu: "Jing's family is not a nobody, but it has nothing to do with the Cheng family, the family is far away, the Cheng family is looking for someone to pull the strings, and the Cheng family is still indifferent." Cheng Zhidong should have contacted your people, as for what kind of request was made, I don't know. But it's not hard to guess, it's nothing more than to fix you, harm you, and kill you...... Such. Sixteen, this kid next to you is very sadistic when he encounters this, but you've been careful of him lately-"
Lu Shihan interrupted him: "This time I am the one who has affected him." β
Han Feiyu: "After all, he is young and his concentration is not so strong." I can understand that I choose to believe him from your standpoint, but Cheng Zhidong is not a good stubble, you should be careful. You can't help but be afraid of people who might do anything to save your sister's life. I know what you're going to do if you know what's going to do, or sue you, and the old man will know in the future, I don't know if I'll torture and kill me. I will give you all the contact information of Cheng Zhidong. I know you're going to ask this next. β
Lu Shihan: "Thank you." β
Han Feiyu continued to sigh: "The wood is already in the boat, Cheng Zhidong has found a scapegoat to bear the responsibility of the subsidiary and be exempted from punishment, but his loss is real, he will not stop if he is angry, you can exchange anything you remember, but your life will not work." β
Lu Shihan responded: "I know, I haven't taken you to see your brother and sister yet." I'll give my life. β
Han Feiyu said on the other end of the phone: "Sixteen, in this way, I will accompany you." β
Lu Shihan didn't refuse: "If you need it, I will look for you." β

Although the new film "Missing Person Notice" has not yet officially started, there is an outdoor blasting scene that needs to be filmed in advance.
Participating in the filming is an old actor who does not have many scenes in the film, as the father of the hero, he died in the quarry explosion.
The shooting schedule had already been set, and Lu Shihan had communicated with the blasting team many times about the amount of explosives used, and at the same time carried out several small-scale test explosions, repeatedly confirming the safety of the operation.
The filming schedule is set in coordination with the actors' schedules, and it is inconvenient to change it.
But human life can't wait, the assistant director and Cheng Fang are a bunch of people, Lu Shihan chose to leave first and return to N City to go to Huicheng, giving up personally holding this set of shots.
***
Cheng Zhidong waited for Lu Shihan to come to the door, and he had been waiting for a week.
Human life, something he sometimes doesn't care much about, is what these "moral guardians" like to make a fuss about.
There was a human life in his hands, and he thought that these moral guardians would rush to him.
Lu Shihan came much later than he thought.
Han Feiyu did not enter the gate of Chengzhidong's courtyard with Lu Shihan. First, Lu Shihan only needs him to wait outside the door; The second is that the people of Chengzhidong do not allow the second person to enter the door with Lu Shihan.
**
When I saw Chengzhidong, it was already a blazing afternoon in N City.
Passing through the winding corridor of Chengzhidong's courtyard, under the green shade of an umbrella shade of green vines, Lu Shihan saw Chengzhidong who was taking a break with his eyes closed.
Hearing footsteps, Cheng Zhidong opened his eyes.
Lu Shihan stood, Cheng Zhidong looked him up and down, and finally asked very calmly: "Isn't your arm broken?" Did I hear the wrong thing? β
Lu Shihan replied to him: "It's not strict, the external injury, it's already healed." β
Cheng Zhidong still stared at him: "I said a few words so calmly, I didn't expect me to have such a day with Mr. Lu." β
Cheng Zhidong seems to be in no hurry and very patient.
Lu Shihan couldn't wait like this, he directly stated his intention: "Mr. Cheng should know why I came." β
Cheng Zhidong smiled lightly: "Really? I really don't know. β
Lu Shihan: "It's not easy to find a donor, I hope Mr. Cheng will be successful." β
Cheng Zhidong nodded: "I have no grudge against the little girl, why do you want to hurt her?" β
Lu Shihan was silent.
Cheng Zhidong continued his words: "I have a good relationship with Mr. Lu. β
He looked at Lu Shihan like a fish on the board that was about to struggle, with some pity: "The bone marrow can be given to you." Don't ask me what I want? β
Lu Shihan stood straight: "Please Mr. Cheng for advice." β
Cheng Zhidong got up from the rocking chair, his long figure almost the same as Lu Shihan.
"I've thought about taking your life, and I've thought about what it's like to step on human flesh...... But I have been a law-abiding citizen all these years. He approached Lu Shihan step by step, "You came to beg me with a low posture, and I am not unkind." Since you're here, don't just leave and have fun in my courtyard. I asked someone to invite Mr. Lu once, but Mr. Lu moved too fast and ran far. β
He punched himself in the chest: "I'm here, I've been blocked for a long time, and I need to dredge it." β
Lu Shihan didn't hesitate and responded: "Okay." β
Cheng Zhidong smiled again: "Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it after I'm done playing?" β
Lu Shihan's eyes were full of clarity and looked at him: "Is there still a way out?" Mr. Cheng can rest assured, I can afford to lose. β
Cheng Zhidong laughed a few times and motioned to his subordinates behind him to step forward: "First ask Mr. Lu to visit the basement, take a good look at Mr. Lu's face, and don't bump into it." β
***
When he was dragged out of the basement, Lu Shihan's face and hands, which were β‘β‘ outside, were intact and there were no wounds.
But the bloody breath between his lips and tongue and the lingering pain that seemed to have been run over all over his body reminded him of what he had experienced in the dimly colored basement.
The man in black dragged him out and threw him in front of Cheng Zhidong.
Lu Shihan tried to stand up with his arms propped up on the stone slab, but in vain.
He gave up, and the large glyph remained as it had been dragged out, lying flat on the ground.
Cheng Zhidong asked, "Did you shout?" β
The man in black replied: "No, no sound." β
Cheng Zhidong was condescending and stepped on Lu Shihan's right arm.
Lu Shihan's facial expression was quickly distorted because of the pain, and his eyes looked misty because of the pain.
He still endured it, and did not say anything.
Didn't cry out in pain, didn't beg for mercy.
Cheng Zhidong glanced at his subordinates: "Take it back, the second round." β
***
Round 2, Round 3......
Lu Shihan realized that when he was dragged out of the dark basement again, he was already a little unclear.
Cheng Zhidong frowned slightly: "Sober up." β
A basin of water splashed over, he coughed slightly, and opened his eyes to look at Cheng Zhidong.
Cheng Zhidong said to him: "Stand up, Mr. Lu can walk out of my yard before sunset, and what I promised will be done." β
Lu Shihan laughed silently.
Walk?
Cheng Zhidong now asked him to go out, and when he stood up, he would only kneel down helplessly and fall down.
He looked around, and behind him was a wall.
Lu Shihan climbed a step and a half, his arms climbed on the wall, and he stood upright with all the strength of his body.
It was difficult for him to stand upright, and Cheng Zhidong kept watching.
As he walked out step by step with the help of the wall, he vaguely heard Cheng Zhidong say, "After you go out, there is still a gift waiting for you." β
***
It didn't take a long time, Lu Shihan walked for a long time, and slowly, the twilight was four.
Han Feiyu saw that the door of Chengzhi's courtyard opened, and Lu Shihan's forehead was completely wet.
He stepped forward, and Lu Shihan climbed his arm.
Han Feiyu held him back and squeezed his hand his arm.
Lu Shihan inhaled fiercely, and his face turned white in an instant.
His face and hands were clean and unharmed, and Han Feiyu's heart moved, and he reached out to pull the shirt collar button that he had buttoned tightly inside the suit.
Lu Shihan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Get in the car first and leave here." β
Han Feiyu didn't do so, and pulled the button directly, and saw all kinds of scars after his neckline was opened: "Can you still walk?" MD, Cheng Zhidong is a slut. β
Lu Shihan frowned: "Flesh wounds, it's merciful." β
As soon as the two of them sat back in the car, their bodies bent and sat down, and Lu Shihan calmed down for a long time before his breathing was stable.
Han Feiyu didn't ask his opinion, and drove straight to the hospital.
Lu Shihan's mobile phone that had been resting on Han Feiyu's car was ticking twice at this moment, and a message came in.
He was in pain all over his body and sweating profusely.
The moment the hand trembled and touched the phone, there was also a watermark when the finger touched the screen.
He opened his inbox, and the message at the top of the list was a link to a web address, with the news headline of the link: "An accident occurred in a blasting scene on a set, resulting in a serious injury, suspected to have been caused by the director surnamed Lu not listening to the persuasion of professional technicians to change the amount of explosives without permission." β
The one listed below is: Mr. Lu is worried about the people below, but the other party has betrayed you for his sister's life, this kind of love is stronger than Jin, do you like it?
Cheng Fang......
Lu Shihan's eyebrows twisted into a dead knot, and the willpower of his whole body to support himself against pain collapsed instantly.
At the same time, Cheng Fang, who was in the hospital with all the crew members, also received a similar message.
He made the worst choice, and at the moment when he knew that Lu Shihan had already sought Chengzhidong for him, he was even more sure that in this life, there would be no worse choice than compromising with Chengzhidong and accepting the quid pro quo he threw to create an accident and frame Lu Shihan.
Lu Shihan abandoned certain principles for him.
And he, abandoned, has some conscience.
It was just an excuse to have no choice, Cheng Fang stared at the phone screen, and tears fell down when he looked at it, covering the back of his hand.
From then on, he could no longer face Lu Shihan calmly, no longer had no choice, and was no longer qualified to appear in front of Lu Shihan.
