Chapter 12: Loneliness, Emptiness, and Coldness
Then there was a pause and screamed, "Dong Ruirui, your uncle, where have you been?" It's been two days since your phone was turned off, do you know how many calls I make to you? If I can't reach you again, I'm going to call the police. β
Dong Ruirui was a little moved, and then explained, "Didn't I tell you before that I was filming commercials?" I didn't know in advance that I would come to Rome at this short notice, the plane at five o'clock in the morning, I thought that if I called you at that time to wake you up, you would definitely fly back and kill me, I was too sleepy when I got off the plane,
I forgot to turn it on and slept until this morning. β
"I'll forget it, do you know that Lin Yize also called you?" I can't contact you, I'm here, I'm very anxious to hear the voice, I think you should call someone back, okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to class. β
Ah, she was stunned, what could Lin Yize do when she called her? She thought about it and texted him anyway.
"Lin Xi said you were looking for me?"
The phone rang within a minute of the prompt being successfully sent.
When she picked it up, she heard a pant and shouted to her, "Are you going to drive me crazy?" Where are you now? Dong Ruirui was frightened, she saw him angry for the first time, and he left directly when he was angry several times before, and he didn't yell at her.
After she told him the address, he hung up. She only reacted when she hung up, why did she obediently tell him, and he really looked like crazy, wouldn't he know her address and send someone to beat her?
She was a little apprehensive in her heart, feeling that a dingshi bomb would be delivered to her at any time for her to sign for.
Rome is a city with many European BC landmarks, and the location of this photoshoot is the Colosseum, one of the seven most iconic wonders of the world. Yishu Chrome particularly emphasizes the need to show wildness and madness, Dong Ruirui secretly discussed, what wildness and madness should be for a chocolate advertisement, she really felt that she didn't understand
People who create art.
The Colosseum is located in the south of Piazza Venezia, with an area of more than 20,000 square meters and a capacity of more than 90,000 people. Rome is a tourist city, and the biggest feature of a tourist city is that there are a lot of people.
It wasn't until standing in the empty Colosseum that Dong Ruirui began to feel that Yishu Chrome was indeed very good, he actually arranged the venue in advance, she was very curious about how he did it, can this kind of place still be reserved?
"Card"
The big director said, "Dong Ruirui, wild, crazy, will it?" Don't be stupid to stand up? β
Dong Ruirui tried hard to show himself those two things.
"Card"
The director asked, "Do you need help?" β
Yes? She wanted to ask how to help, and when a dog about the same age as her and looked heavier than her, with a more serious expression than the director, met her eyes, Dong Ruirui couldn't help screaming, her legs were weak, and she almost didn't fall to the ground.
She heard the director say calmly, "I think it should help you show what I want." β
Immediately after that, the entire Colosseum heard one terrible scream after another
By the time the shooting was over, she was tired like a dog, and her voice had become hoarse.
Someone who had gone out in the morning in a good mood came back to the hotel in the afternoon and felt like she had gone to hell, and she secretly swore that she would never go to the Colosseum again.
In the afternoon, when I returned to the hotel, I had free activities, and other colleagues discussed taking a walk around the city of Rome. asked Dong Ruirui if she was going, and she shook her head directly. The others were frightened and sympathetic. And the culprit took an early shower and went out with the camera on his back.
She went back to her room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and in her sleep she felt a hairy thing touching her, and it was very big, and it was chasing her. It runs fast. The skin on her face fell down piece by piece, she wanted to scream but found that she couldn't, she wanted to escape, but the whirring breath behind her was getting closer and closer.
She was suddenly awakened, looking around in panic and relieving when she finally decided that it was just a nightmare.
She lay motionless on the bed, her heartbeat still ringing. Her face was wet and she cried.
It may be that being in a foreign country, surrounded by unfamiliar environments and strange people, makes her feel extra lonely and lonely, which she has never felt before. Especially in the dead of night, she misses her mother very much.
She didn't want to make herself feel so bad, she felt like she could go out for a walk. It is said that Rome is also beautiful at night.
Standing outside the hotel gate and looking into the distance, you can see the old buildings, the most distinctive part of which is the cross on the roof of the building, which shines in the night light.
Dong Ruirui's mother, Ms. Xu Yingying, is an out-and-out Christian, and she remembers that when she was a child, she often pestered her mother to go to church, when she was only six or seven years old, but every time she went, she could sit quietly for an hour or two like everyone else.
Dong Ruirui's footsteps involuntarily walked in the direction of the church.
Lin Yize looked at a place silently, and the driver of the car asked, "Boss, are we still going to the hotel now?" β
He retracted his gaze and said, "You go first, I'll get off here." β
He hung up the phone in the morning and flew over, and then felt that his IQ had also become zero. He felt that he had completely lost his mind, and that he had lost his usual calm, until he sat in the car and saw the figure standing stupidly at the door of the church.
He came to her and waited for her to spot him.
Dong Ruirui looked back and seemed surprised to see him, but she didn't ask why she came? She didn't want to be alone on a night like this.
Lin Yize said, "Are you crying? β
Her eyes were red, like rabbit's eyes. Sometimes the more you comfort a sad person, the more aggrieved she is.
She lowered her head and didn't speak, and in her ear was Lin Yize's voice that sounded very magnetic at the moment, and said, "I came to tell you, I miss you very much." β
After a pause, he asked her, "Do you want to be together?" β
Dong Ruirui looked up and didn't answer his question, but said, "I'll tell you the story of my parents." β
Before he could answer, she had already spoken to herself, "Mr. Dong Chenglong is a good-tempered person, he has only fought with people once since he was a child, or for my mother, my father said that it was a very clichΓ© story, even the beginning was that it was a month of high wind and dark night, and he couldn't see his five fingers, by the way, my father is from Shaanxi, and my mother is."
Beijingers, you must be curious about how two people separated from the map by thousands of mountains and rivers can meet, my mother is 69 years of rural educated youth, she often goes to the town to send letters to the family, and then I met my dad who works at the post office, my dad was handsome at that time, a cream boy, my mother is also very beautiful, there is a village next door
Xiao Young in front of my mom around, I've seen photos of my mom when she was young and it's really beautiful, I'm like my mom a little more, my dad, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as he said, at most it belongs to the facial features, it's far from the cream Xiaosheng, I secretly saw the photo of him hiding, oh, I continued to talk about it later, and then one day my mom
When I returned to the village, I was stopped by a little hooligan who used to walk around in front of my mother every day, as for what people said, my mother said she didn't know, because they hadn't opened their mouths, my dad rushed up and beat people, but instead he was beaten by people and had a nosebleed, and the man saw the blood and thought what was wrong with my dad, so he was scared away, and then my dad
I think it's too unsafe for a girl to walk at night every day, so I insist on picking up and dropping off every day, and then the old people in the village said that they were dealing with objects, and my dad said that they should not be everywhere? My mother also thought it was okay, so the two of them fell in love, and later after replying to the college entrance examination, my father and my mother were admitted to college together, and they both chose
Department of Archaeology, in fact, I don't know much about this, and then they went to study in the UK together, and then there was me, to be honest, my mother has a bit of a big temper, anyway, older than me, in our family she has the final say, my dad is happy about everything, I didn't see him and who rushed to the eye, and then I went to college two years ago
At that time, they joined the United Nations archaeological expert team together, in fact, my mother wanted to go, and then my father went with him without hesitation, my father said that no matter where he went, he would keep following my mother, because only where my mother could see it, he felt that my mother would be at ease, I am twenty-one years old this year,
Sometimes I secretly think that I must find someone who thinks like my dad did to my mom and can make me feel at ease all the time. β
She turned her head and looked at him quietly, "Obviously, you are not, when I injured my foot before, I was actually very helpless and scared, and I didn't have a sense of security with you." β
Lin Yize was silent, then gently hugged her and said in her ear, "I will try not to make you scared anymore, you believe me." β
She listened to him, lay on his broad shoulder, and tears flowed again.
The next day, I don't know what reason Lin Yize used to persuade Yishu Chrome to take a day off, he took her to drink delicious coffee, ate fried bread slices for breakfast, and then they drove to Venice, and Dong Ruirui slept all the way on a three-hour journey. By the time she woke up, it had been a long time.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lin Yize asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Oh, I forgot, you're pretty good at sleeping. β
Dong Ruirui looked constipated and thought, is this person praising me or hurting me?
I heard Lin Yize show a smile and say, "I'll tease you." β
Suddenly she was messy in the wind, and the great Lin Yize, who was usually unsmiling, actually told her with the expression and tone of a chicken thief that he was teasing her. Well, she said she was frightened.
The two come to this city known as the Water City, which is a quiet and peaceful world. Tall and funny Italian men can be seen everywhere here, and Dong Ruirui is almost dazzled just by admiring beautiful men. If it weren't for Lin Yize beside the scenery, she thought there would definitely be a lot of handsome guys coming over to talk. I remember going to college before
At that time, the usually serious female professor talked to the students about the city they wanted to go to the most. Lin Xi said loudly that she wanted to go to Venice, there were many handsome guys and many hotels.
Lin Xi's bold words and deeds directly led to the failure of the course taught by the female professor that semester. At that time, Dong Ruirui laughed the loudest with the whole class.
At this moment, Dong Ruirui touched his chin and watched the handsome guys who were sitting or standing or walking or stopping, and he was as excited as a deer in his heart. Lin Yize's face over there had already darkened.
"Nice?" He had an expression on his face that if you dare to say yes, I will dare to strangle you.
Dong Ruirui looked at him and smiled sweetly, "I think you are the most handsome, let's take pictures." β
She ran to a nearby distance to find a passer-by to help them take a picture, and the Venetian with the camera said, "Come closer." β
Lin Yize silently approached her, and then approached until the two of them touched their shoulders.
Just a second before the camera pressed the shutter, Dong Ruirui stood on tiptoe and kissed the face of the person next to him, the sky of Venice that day was exceptionally beautiful, the weather was exceptionally fresh, and the typical Mediterranean climate made everyone who appeared relaxed and happy. The Chinese girl smirks at the camera, and the boy, oh no, should not lose at all
The handsome face of the Italian man actually had a suspicious hint of red.
Passers-by heard the girl shouting, "Lin Yize, you actually blushed, haha." Of course, passers-by couldn't understand what they were saying, but they could still get a glimpse of something on the face of the smiling girl and the man with a black face.
Dong Ruirui, who was sitting in the open-air cafΓ©, was very satisfied, and the scene that just appeared also made her very satisfied, who asked him to tease her, he teased her, then she would come back.
She took a big sip of her creamy coffee. Hum a song.
Lin Yize asked her, "Are you happy today?" β
She said, "Well, it's fun, especially," she shook the camera in her hand.
Lin Yize didn't change his face for the first time, he was thinking about whether to find someone to steal the camera.
"Hungry or not? Do you want to eat cuttlefish noodles? He digressed.
As soon as he mentioned eating, Dong Ruirui's eyes lit up.
When they sat down in the specialty restaurant, Dong Ruirui began to shamelessly ask, "Cuttlefish noodles?" It's a noodle made of cuttlefish, isn't that black noodle, and have you been to Venice before? It's familiar."
Lin Yize put down the water glass and said, "It's made of black cuttlefish, the taste is very unique, I haven't been here before, I used to have friends in their hometown in Venice to hear him mention these places." β
Last night, I was still on the phone with someone who was in Venice asking for travel tips, and I cleverly chose to hide it.
