Orange and Uncle (29)
Cheng Cheng's eyes swept around, and it was easy to see Jiang Yichen.
His table was in the innermost, and at tonight's dinner, Zhou Peipei and Lin Zequn did not come, but Director Ye Rong was very face-saving and present, Jiang Yichen sat with him, next to the screenwriter and other actors. Although they were in the same hall, the atmosphere at this table was obviously different, everyone was paying attention to that side, and the crowd was subconsciously quiet as soon as there was a little voice, so as not to miss their speeches.
At this moment, a man walked over from another table and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I'm here to toast." I don't know if there is such an honor to have a drink with the new husband of thousands of girls? ”
He should have wanted to compliment Jiang Yichen, but he probably drank too much wine, and his words were a little too intimate. Jiang Yichen leaned back in the chair, tilted his head to look at him for a few seconds, and did not move. The people next to him suddenly became nervous, Teacher Jiang, don't be angry, right? He really didn't talk much tonight, so he was in a normal mood......
Even the toasters began to feel uneasy, Jiang Yichen smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass, and said half-admonishment-half-jokingly: "Next time, dare to tease me like this, let alone drink, I won't even let you eat." ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief and clinked glasses with him with a smile, "Understood, understood." Brother Chen really gives face! ”
Cheng Cheng took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message, "I'm outside, I have something very important to say, can you come out for a while?" ”
Then, she stared at Jiang Yichen, found that he was holding a wine glass in one hand, but with the other hand felt something out of his pocket, looked down, and then put it back as if nothing happened.
Cheng Cheng said hello to the coordinator and left the hall alone, all the way to the end of the corridor. There is a European-style round balcony with marble balustrades and vines, flowers blooming at the four corners, and an iron swing chair on the right, like a small paradise.
Cheng Cheng sat down on the swing, swaying and shaking, and after ten minutes, there was still no one.
She looked down the hallway, a little tangled. It's bad, are you too confident, what if Jiang Yichen doesn't come out? Does this kind of dinner count as working hours? No, he doesn't have the time to take care of himself now......
was thinking about it, but saw a figure walking over, a white T-shirt with light blue jeans, such a simple match, but it didn't look good on him.
Jiang Yichen stood by the balcony door and looked at her quietly.
Cheng Cheng held the iron cable of the swing in one hand, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Why is it so long?" ”
Jiang Yichen paused, walked to the balcony first, the cold breeze was blowing, Cheng Cheng smelled the faint smell of wine on his body, "You said outside, it's so big outside, remember to be specific next time." ”
I see.
Cheng Cheng imagined him probing his brain in the corridor, looking for his appearance, and couldn't help but smile deeper, "You can't find it, won't you ask me?" Why are you so stupid. ”
He glanced at her and raised an eyebrow, as if surprised that she was so bold. Cheng Cheng Cheng was not afraid of him at this time, got off the swing, stood in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'm leaving." ”
Her tone was brisk, "Director Ye said that there is no need to shoot the rest of the scenes, so I can go home today." Thank you for taking care of me during this time, I hope I will have a chance to see you again in the future, or the next fan meeting, you will give me tickets after the opening? I promise never to resell at a high price! ”
She thought as she spoke, try to be as happy as possible, and don't make Jiang Yichen feel sorry for herself.
There is a feast all over the world, since the director asked her to go, of course, it is better to go, and there is no need to have more complications.
But as she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Jiang Yichen had been looking at himself very quietly, but when he heard such news, he didn't even show a trace of surprise.
Cheng Cheng blinked, "Your expression...... You already know? ”
Jiang Yichen paused, walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing with one hand, and said, "Well, I was also there when Director Ye decided." ”
Cheng Cheng looked at his back in a daze, a little unable to react.
It took a while for her to say, "You know? Then why don't you say that you went to dinner with them......"
Jiang Yichen turned his head to look at her, "Didn't you tell me at the beginning?" I thought you wanted to go quietly. ”
She really thought so, so she went straight back to the hotel in the afternoon, but ......
"But here I am! I wanted to say goodbye to you, so I'm here ......"
She still couldn't control the sadness in her tone.
She endured it for a day. She thought that she could be very strong and would not complain in front of him, but at this moment, all the accumulated emotions came to her heart.
His mind was full of one thought, if she hadn't changed her mind, would he have left her like this, and he wouldn't even have the chance to say goodbye in person?
And she didn't even know when the next time we would meet......
The girl tilted her head and stared at herself intently, her expression so aggrieved, as if he had made some heinous mistake.
Jiang Yichen looked at her like this, no longer carefully concealing her emotions, but clearly expressed her dissatisfaction, but somewhere in her heart was touched. For a long time, overflowing with a silent sigh.
He raised his hands as if in surrender and said with a smile, "I was wrong." ”
Cheng Cheng didn't speak.
He repeated: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended not to know, I should have taken the initiative to find you. Don't be angry, okay? ”
He told her not to be angry, and Cheng Cheng was even more angry.
Without saying a word, she sat back on the swing and turned her head to look at the lights of the city in the distance. Jiang Yichen looked at her for a few seconds, as if he was a little helpless, Cheng Cheng caught a glimpse of him with his hands in his pockets, walking towards the balcony door, as if he was planning to leave.
Cheng Chengxin almost wanted to shout "stop" when he mentioned it, but he turned his steps around, actually came around again, stood directly opposite her, leaned on the railing at will, and looked at her like this.
Cheng Cheng: "......"
The night breeze blew on his cheeks, bringing a burst of coolness, and also calming down Cheng Cheng a little.
Jiang Yichen stood there, with a smile in her eyes, revealing a sense of connivance, as if what she did was reasonable. Cheng Cheng suddenly forgot what he was angry about, only felt that his eyes were too seductive, his cheeks were red, and he avoided his gaze in a little panic.
She began to feel annoyed, she had been too impulsive just now. But he apologized to her, and he still said that tone, he actually coaxed her like this!
She blinked, suddenly a little confused.
Like him all these years, she has never asked for anything in return.
However, since when did she start asking more and more? Since when will she also him?
Cheng Cheng felt in a daze that something was different. But what this thing is, she can't grasp. She didn't know.
"Since you're leaving, I'll pay back what I owe you." Jiang Yichen said suddenly.
Cheng Cheng was still immersed in his thoughts and was startled, "What? ”
Jiang Yichen's eyes were gentle, ""Stars, do you remember?" I said I would sing it to you. ”
That night, he promised her on WeChat, and Cheng Cheng once planned how to let him fulfill it.
It turned out that he still remembered.
Jiang Yichen walked over, half-squatted in front of her, and looked at her at eye level. Cheng Cheng was subconsciously nervous because of this angle and what was going to happen next, and hid back.
He noticed it and smiled lightly, "This song is dedicated to the beautiful Miss Cheng Cheng, thank you for the surprise you brought me this summer." ”
After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and began to sing.
When Jiang Yichen was 18 years old, he participated in the singing competition, and it was smooth sailing in the early stage, but after entering the top ten in the country, he fell into a bottleneck. He was on the verge of elimination for several games in a row, until he sang "Stars".
This song is Jiang Yichen's own lyrics and composition, with this song, he not only proved his singing skills, but also showed his creative talent. Cheng Cheng remembered that Mr. Xia Zhifang, who was a judge at the time, commented that although the words of "Stars" were average, the music was quite amazing, and praised Jiang Yichen for his potential to develop into a singer-songwriter.
In that PK, he won the first place without any suspense.
“…… When I was young, I even spoke so contemptuously forever.
Remember?
The stars in the sky for you, that is our best time. ”
In the cool breeze of the summer night, his voice was low and melodious, like a cello, and like a distant dream. Countless past events come back, and that is each other's best youth.
Seven years ago, at the age of 13, she stood outside the gymnasium, and the teenager on the big screen seemed to be the most dazzling light, instantly illuminating her whole world.
Seven years later, she was sitting on the 17th floor, in front of her the city lights brighter than the stars, the swing frame was shaking, and he was half-crouched in front of her, staring at her, singing the song she had fallen in love with him at first sight sentence by sentence.
The stars in the sky for you, that is our best time.
There were no stars tonight, but she looked into his eyes as if she saw a sky full of stars.
Cheng Cheng sat there in a daze. The night is a gentle embrace, and everything in heaven and earth is quiet. Only one of her hearts, beating faster and faster, became clearer and clearer.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Each blow shook her ribcage, making her fingertips tingle.
Something is wrong.
Cheng Cheng subconsciously clenched her fists, thinking hard, she seemed to be very wrong......
After Jiang Yichen finished singing, seeing that Cheng Cheng didn't react, he didn't care, he raised his hand and touched her hair, "I won't send you, be careful on the road, send me a message when you get home." ”
After a pause, he finally stretched out his arms and hugged her. The man's breath blew in his ears, his voice was soft, and he finally said the goodbye.
"Orange, goodbye."
In the summer, the sky always brightens up very early, and before 7 o'clock, the gentle sun is already shining on the entire campus. The grass and trees are lush, the lake is glowing with blue light, and the old people and students who are exercising in the morning are walking on the boulevard.
In the faculty dormitory area on the west side of the school, Cheng Cheng was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, sweating on his forehead and slightly red cheeks, trotting all the way into one of the buildings, pushing open the door and smiling: "I'm back!" ”
Grandma was sitting in the living room reading the morning newspaper, and when she heard the words, she looked up from the newspaper and said angrily: "Come back, come back, what are you doing so loudly?" ”
Cheng Cheng stuck out his tongue.
Grandma looked at her and instructed, "I'm sweating, go take a shower, and get ready for breakfast." ”
This is grandma's house in Big A, after Cheng Cheng left the crew, considering that it was already August, he simply didn't go back to Chengdu and went back to school in advance. She lives with her grandmother,
I also returned to my old habits, and every morning, I would go out for a run, sweat all over, take a shower, and start the day full of vitality.
Waiting for Cheng Cheng to come out of the bathroom, breakfast was also set on the table.
Grandma is old, grandpa died early, and daily life is taken care of by Aunt Bai, a nanny hired by the family.
Aunt Bai cooked a good dish, breakfast was not ambiguous, mushroom cod porridge stayed up all night, every grain of rice was boiled well, melted in the mouth, with the delicious and smooth cod, the strength of the mushrooms, so delicious that people almost want to praise life!
Cheng Cheng drank porridge, ate Sichuan pickles pickled by Aunt Bai, and flattered: "Aunt Bai, you are really the most capable person in our family!" The rice was so delicious! My father, my mother, my grandmother, and myself, we are all inferior to you! ”
Aunt Bai had already understood her routine, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know, make the tomato brisket you want to eat at noon, wait." ”
Cheng Cheng reached the goal and shouted: "Long live!" ”
Grandma also drank porridge and said unhurriedly: "Since you like Aunt Bai's cooking so much, you should come over early, if I had known that you had returned to Beijing and were still hanging around outside for more than 20 days, I would definitely call and teach your mother a hard lesson." Dare to hide it from me. ”
As soon as she mentioned this stubble, Cheng Cheng didn't dare to speak.
When she returned to Beijing, she didn't tell her grandmother in advance, because she was afraid that the old people would worry. However, when Cheng Cheng moved over, he didn't dare to continue to hide it, and 1510 explained it clearly.
So, for a whole week, the topic was provoked from time to time. Grandma is rich and rich, but she is no different from ordinary old people in dealing with her granddaughter, and she occasionally chatters.
Sure enough, grandma's words changed and turned to Cheng Cheng, "You too." In that kind of place in the entertainment industry, it is very chaotic, and I actually ran over alone, what should I do if something happens to my family? ”
"I'm not alone, Xiaoling is with me, she takes care of me......"
"That girl surnamed Zhao? She's a daredevil, too, and the two of you put together a bunch of who can take care of whom. ”
Aunt Bai saw that Cheng Cheng's face was about to be buried in the porridge bowl, and her little appearance was really pitiful, so she came out to play a round, "Professor, don't keep talking about Weiwei, no matter how smart she is, she is still a child, and it is normal to mess around occasionally." Besides, why did Chengcheng go to that crew this time, don't you also know it, she likes that male star so much, and it is hard to meet her, what a rare opportunity. ”
Cheng Cheng's action of drinking porridge paused.
Grandma was also thoughtful. Cheng Cheng's liking for Jiang Yichen is well known to the family, and grandma specially watched "Cold Night" because of this. The dramas with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War are easier to please the elderly than Jiang Yichen's previous idol dramas, and after watching it, grandma likes the role of Zhao Mingshen very much, and she also has a good impression of Jiang Yichen.
Thinking of the heroic patriotic young man, the old professor's tone softened a little, stared at Cheng Cheng and said, "Then now, people have seen it and made a wish?" ”
Cheng Cheng bit the spoon and nodded slowly.
Grandma said with satisfaction: "It's okay, don't mess around anymore in the future." ”
I got my wish.
Cheng Cheng fell on the bed and let out a long sigh.
Life, it's really unexpected. One of her wishes came true, but it seemed that another wish had emerged.
A larger, more unrealistic wish.
That night, at a height of the 17th floor, she was thrilled in his singing. Before that, she had also had her heart racing because of him countless times, but not once, like that time.
The whole heart, as if it was about to jump out of the chest. She faced him, like facing the beauty of the whole world, and just wanted to open her arms and embrace.
That throbbing.
Cheng Cheng is so big, he has never been in love, and he has never liked anyone.
Her growth experience is different from ordinary people, she lacks the opportunity to fall in love, and besides, the time outside of study has been occupied by star chasing, and she has no time to think about it.
But even if she didn't experience it personally, she had watched so many movies and heard so many stories, and she probably understood what her mood at that time meant......
She took out her phone, saw WeChat, and she pinned the dialog box with him to the top. The last message was that on the night she left the crew, she told him that she was safe, and he replied with two words: Okay.
