Chapter Ninety-Eight: Listen to the Story
The two soon arrived at the barbecue restaurant that Qi Yayi said, and the business in the store looked pretty good.
Listening to Qi Yayi skillfully greeting the boss, "Uncle Li, it's still the same as before, by the way, bring me a beer." ”
"Okay, you find a place to sit first, and I'll get it done in a moment. ”
Qi Yayi thanked him before walking to Ji Lingbai and sitting down.
"Do you want to hear a story?" Qi Yayi also wanted to vent, and Ji Lingbai happened to be a good object, so he would be so direct.
Ji Lingbai glanced at him: "As long as you want to speak, I will listen to you." ”
Qi Yayi opened a bottle of beer, and while drinking, she turned on the spit mode.
"She and I were high school classmates, and her family was in good condition, but she wasn't the kind of girl who was very snobbish, and soon we were together. ”
"We agreed to be admitted to the same university for the same major, because I am very interested in directing and have some talent, so our ideal school is the one we are now. ”
The story has been going smoothly so far, and Ji Lingbai didn't interject, waiting for Qi Yayi to continue.
"However, when we entered the university, we had a big disagreement because of the different teachers and personal preferences. ”
When he said this, Qi Yayi was a little depressed, and the boss walked in with the barbecue he ordered.
"Xiao Qi, everything you ordered is on it. The boss didn't leave immediately after putting the things in order, but stared at Ji Lingbai several times.
Then he said to Qi Yayi with some hesitation: "Xiao Qi, the girl who was with you every time before didn't come?"
Qi Yayi didn't speak.
Boss Li glanced at Ji Lingbai and didn't speak, just pulled Qi Yayi up and walked aside.
"What's the matter with you kid, Mengqing's girl is very good, what did you say you did?"
As he spoke, he looked in Ji Lingbai's direction. Although Ji Lingbai couldn't hear what they were saying, he could guess how to do it, so he didn't even look here.
"I don't think this girl is a bad girl, is it your kid stepping on two boats, I can tell you, this is not bad. ”
Qi Yayi was a little helpless, "Uncle Li, what are you talking about? She is an ordinary friend of mine." ”
"Friend, why are you two here to eat, don't think I'm old and don't understand you young people. Boss Li still didn't believe Qi Yayi's words.
Qi Yayi had no choice but to move out of Liao Huaqing: "That kid from Huaqing was also going to come over, but he was embarrassed to be told a few words by me in the crew today." ”
Liao Huaqing still knows Boss Li, when Qi Yayi and Shi Mengqing were filming here, Liao Huaqing played the second male lead, and he also came over to eat a few meals with them.
So when Qi Yayi said Liao Huaqing, Boss Li's attitude was much better. "Then what's the situation between you and Mengqing?"
"We broke up. For this old man who has always taken good care of himself, Qi Yayi has no intention of hiding it.
"You...... Why are you doing this?" Boss Li was anxious for Qi Yayi.
Qi Yayi shook her head, "How can there be so many whys, if it is not suitable, they will be separated." ”
Boss Li obviously didn't accept his explanation, "Why is it not suitable, I think you are very suitable, old man." ”
Qi Yayi couldn't laugh or cry, "Uncle Li, don't worry about this." ”
Boss Li was about to say something, but the proprietress suddenly called him, as if a guest had ordered, so Li Lao glared at Qi Yayi and returned to his post.
Qi Yayi only returned to her seat at this time, looked at Ji Lingbai's teasing expression, and silently poured herself a glass of wine.
"What, that boss misunderstood our relationship again?" If it was Ji Lingbai who encountered this thing in the morning, he wouldn't be able to understand it, but there was already a Liao Huaqing before, and Ji Lingbai could probably understand the mood of this old man.
Qi Yayi looked at her and smiled, "It should be impossible for me to be with her." ”
The sudden words made Ji Lingbai not react for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "You and Shi Mengqing?"
Qi Yayi nodded.
Ji Lingbai still couldn't understand, "But why do they all think you are very suitable?"
Qi Yayi still shook her head, but continued the story: "In the previous film cooperation, we did fit well in some aspects, but more of them were contradictions. ”
Ji Lingbai still couldn't understand, so he looked at Qi Yayi.
Qi Yayi took a sip of wine, "She may think that the audience prefers special effects because of family reasons." But I prefer to put emotions and express life in films. ”
This Ji Lingbai can feel a thing or two in his script, "But this is not a big contradiction." ”
Qi Yayi smiled bitterly: "I originally thought the same, but things are not so simple. In the films we worked on before, I was the director, and she was the assistant director. Once or twice, you can continue because of someone's concessions, but the end result of the whole film is not what any of us wanted. ”
"Then, is it okay for each of you to shoot what you like soon?" Ji Lingbai still didn't understand how the two of them got to this point.
"But she's a very authoritarian person. I didn't even think she would be so serious about this. She insisted that my point of view was wrong and that she was always committed to creating something better than me. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Yayi sighed deeply: "And her behavior also makes her use more and more on this road." It's like the distance between the two of us. ”
The storyteller fell into depression, but Ji Lingbai heard a different taste.
"But she still loves you. "Only love can make a woman so desperate to prove herself.
"Love, maybe?" Qi Yayi didn't surprise Ji Lingbai's thoughts, "However, I can't accept her love like this." ”
"And who are you......"
"I brought it up, how can there be such a couple, I really can't stand it. Qi Yayi said as she drank the wine in her glass.
Ji Lingbai didn't know how to persuade him, "Then she agreed?" According to Ji Lingbai's opposite, that Shi Mengqing should like Qi Yayi, theoretically speaking, she shouldn't agree.
Unexpectedly, Shi Mengqing was a person who played cards out of common sense, and she actually agreed. Not only agreed, but probably because he felt that he had torn his face, he began to dig Qi Yayi's people.
Its practical digging may not be a good word, but it is. Because the two have been working together before and have a close relationship, Qi Yayi has never hidden this girlfriend from her.
So much so that things have developed to this point, and before Qi Yayi can react, his male number one and the investors he has been cooperating with before were pulled over by Shi Mengqing.
Of course, it was impossible for Qi Yayi to go to those people to make trouble. Whether it's a male protagonist or an investor, it's not exclusive to one person, and it's normal for others to get it. But Qi Yayi just couldn't accept that person was his former girlfriend.
It's the same with this graduation homework, originally Liao Huaqing couldn't be the male lead, and it wasn't because the male protagonist was booked away in advance by Shi Mengqing.
Even Shi Mengqing gave Qi Yayi a "battle post", just to show her ability at the graduation show and make Qi Yayi realize her mistake.
But Qi Yayi has never been so easy to admit defeat, he worked as a tour guide for those outsiders in many scenic spots in Kyoto, and he began to prepare money for filming, although those were far from enough.
This is also the main reason why the two met, but Qi Yayi has never told Ji Lingbai about these things. After all, it's quite embarrassing for a boy to be forced into this role by a girl.
"Then ...... she came over today" Ji Lingbai found that he couldn't understand Shi Mengqing, a girl, who obviously loved but had to separate, but obviously loved but had to do the right thing.
Ji Lingbai probably forgot that he once saw an autobiography written by a famous female director at some point, which wrote: "I love him more than myself, but he can't pay attention to the tenderness around him, so I chose to be the thorn rose opposite him." ”
Qi Yayi shook his head, he didn't know what Shi Mengqing came here for today, but it was definitely not a good thing.
"Probably just come here to show off, you didn't see the male protagonist she carried, in fact, the original male in my heart. ”
"Then does Liao Huaqing know about this?"
Qi Yayi didn't understand why Ji Lingbai asked like this, "I know, because I originally gave Liao Huaqing the script for the second male." ”
Then why did he still ...... "He always matches you and Shi Mengqing, doesn't he know that if you reconcile, his male protagonist will be in the soup?"
Even if Ji Lingbai's words were not finished, Qi Yayi understood what she meant. "The relationship between the four of us has always been very good before, but that kid in Huaqing simply treats me and Mengqing as his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so I have no way to accept it. ”
"Then he is by your side because of ......"
"Well, he has always wanted to match me and Shi Mengqing, but neither of us has any intention of getting back together. For the director, we are like this, maybe it is better to be an opponent than a partner. Qi Yayi was a little melancholy when she said this.
Ji Lingbai didn't know what was going on, so he thought of himself and Xi Zimo, will he and Xi Zimo face such a situation in the future? If so, what will he do?
Thinking about it, I felt very distressed, and I also picked up the wine on the table and drank it.
Seeing Ji Lingbai start drinking, Qi Yayi was a little happier. Originally, it was to drown my sorrows through wine, and it was not interesting to drink alone.
Because I was thinking about things in my heart, no one got drunk in the end. Qi Yayi settled the account and prepared to go back to the place they rented to sleep.
Ji Lingbai was even more sober than him, and after sending him off, he took a taxi back to school alone, anyway, it was still early, and it was just right to wash and sleep.
