Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ordinary Men and Ordinary People
Graphite didn't return to the hotel until nine o'clock in the evening.
Qin Yu drove her 'Wrangler', which was very incompatible with her, to deliver graphite to the door of the hotel lobby. When Graphite got out of the car, she stopped him, looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, held it for a long time, and finally said: "Eh, it's a pity that you are not an actor." ”
Graphite closed the car door, looked back at the beautiful woman in the car outside the window, the corners of his mouth curled, and deliberately asked, "Are you praising me?" ”
"You can take it as a compliment to you," Qin Yu seemed to be smiling, his eyes rolled, he looked at him deeply, and then said, "However, I still want to say thank you, thank you, Mr. Shi, I'll invite you to dinner when I find time." ”
"It's an honor." Graphite also replied playfully.
"Well, wait for my call," Qin Yu nodded and said playfully, "Let's go, bye." ”
"Bye-bye, drive slower on the road......"
As soon as Graphite raised his hand, Qin Yu had already started the car and drove away.
Graphite stared at the shadow of the wrangler in the distance, and suddenly felt something in his heart.
Those who have seen the beauties of Allure on the screen, when they really come into contact with them, are also like ordinary friends and colleagues, they are ordinary people with flesh and blood, joys and sorrows, they need to fall in love, get married, have children, and need to eat, sleep and go to the toilet like most women, they are no different from most people, they are also ordinary people.
In a sense, there is no distinction between high and low, and there are just different circumstances.
Graphite looked at the lights, and under the night sky, the city was brightly lit and full of traffic.
……
Graphite went back to his room, changed his clothes, and went to take a hot shower.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, he threw himself on his back on the soft and wide bed, his body sunk into the comfortable bed, and his eyes looked at the ceiling silently.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
He got up, opened his phone, and saw that it was Karen calling.
"Hey."
"Jack, are you back?" Karen's crisp, sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'm back, in the room." Graphite smiled kindly.
"Oh, then I'll come and sit with you, is it convenient?" Karen asked cautiously.
"Come here, what's inconvenient." Graphite said immediately.
Soon, there was a knock at the door.
Graphite opened the door, and the two stood in the door and looked at each other. Karen was slightly stunned when she saw that Graphite was only wrapped in a white cotton wool bathrobe, and her face seemed to be slightly red. However, she quickly adjusted herself, said hello to Graphite, and was let into the room by Graphite.
"Sit down," Graphite said, closing the door and turning around, "coffee or tea?" ”
"Otherwise, just boiled water, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I drink tea and coffee at night." Karen laughed.
Graphite nodded, went to the small bar and poured two glasses of water, then took two glasses of boiled water, handed one of them to Karen, took a sip of it himself, and asked casually, "Where did you eat at night?" ”
"I went to the buffet by myself." Karen glanced at Graphite and smiled softly.
Maybe it's because of the lonely man and widow being alone, or for some other reason, Karen seems a little restrained and uneasy, and while she speaks, she habitually lowers her head and strokes her long hair, and her posture is gentle, showing the charm and touching of a mature woman.
One of them sat on a chair and the other on the edge of the bed.
Graphite faced the beauty on the side, and in the dead of night, out of some deep instinct, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, in order to avoid this embarrassment, graphite stood up, walked to the window, exhaled slightly, and diverted his attention.
Looking at the brightly lit city outside the window, thinking of all the things he had experienced during this time, his heart gradually settled down.
The two stood and sat down, silent for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward and ambiguous for a while.
After a moment, Graphite broke the silence first, and he turned to face Karen.
"Karen, the matter with Warner here is basically over, I met a TV station guy today, maybe I have to stay in Beijing for a long time, and by the way, I will recruit a few people to go back. What about you? If you stay, you still want to go back to Shanghai, does it matter with AD? Graphite asked.
Karen looked up and glanced at graphite standing by the window, his eyes ticking for a moment.
"I'd better go back to Shanghai tomorrow," she said, "and the AD side will be handed over by the end of the month, and I'll be back to Xiagang on New Year's Day, and in addition, at the end of December, I'll take time out of Shanghai to visit some film companies and directors." Oh yes, Jack, how will our office in Summerport be renovated? She asked again.
"Well, it should be fine before New Year's Day, and after New Year's Day, we can officially start working in the new office." Graphite said with a smile.
"That's good." Karen nodded slightly.
After pondering for a while, Karen looked up at the graphite again, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he joked about graphite: "How did you accompany Qin Yu today?" You ......" she dragged the old coda, meaning self-evident, her eyes shining at Graphite.
Graphite read what she meant, and couldn't help but smile, "What do you want to ask?" Don't think nonsense, I'm just doing her a small favor, where can a big star look down on ordinary people like us. ”
"You know what I'm thinking?"
Karen raised her chin and asked deliberately. Her gaze was straight on Graphite, as if trying to capture every subtle change in Graphite's face.
Graphite was a little weak and flustered by her bold and direct gaze, and he hurriedly drank water to hide the wild beating and thoughts in his heart. But after all, he couldn't hide the embarrassing result when the blood flowed through his face, yes, his old problem, his face was red.
Graphite is actually a very contradictory person, on the one hand, he is a normal person, and he is currently single, although the star spirit is already close to him, but it does not belong to the category of human meaning, but it is difficult to clearly define an intimate relationship; As the star spirit said, as a member of the human race, deep down in his heart, he still needs an ordinary human woman as his wife, so that he can form a normal family and reproduce children.
However, he was now conflicted about what position to put the star spirits in.
There is no doubt that graphite likes children, and he also wants to continue his blood factor, which is the instinct of life.
It's this damn instinct! He was red-faced and disgraced in front of Karen.
In fact, this thing is not new, any young man of the same age as him will actually have the same psychological activities as him, the desire for the opposite sex, from the impulse driven by the instinct of life, especially, when he faces a person of the same age, sexually touching the opposite sex, plus the two are still alone in the same room, to say that if there is no idea in the mind of a normal man, either there is a hidden danger, or there is a problem with sexual orientation.
Graphite is a normal person, so I can't suppress that thought.
What's more, his current identity is different from the past, and the combination of his inner self-confidence and his original self-conditions naturally has a mutual attraction to many people of the opposite sex. So, more or less, the temptations he will face will be much more and more real than before.
Karen's sitting, her smile, her every move, showed him her charm as a woman.
Graphite is not a fool, not a junior brother, his emotional intelligence is not low, and he doesn't know the ambiguity between the two at this moment, so this is a bit fatal, the temptation is so huge, he seems to be standing under a grapevine, and the bunch of ripe grapes hanging on the tree, he can easily pick it as long as he reaches out lightly.
However, he hasn't thought about it yet, his reason is still firmly in control of him, he and Karen are currently in the relationship between the boss and his subordinates, and reason tells him that before the relationship between the two is completely clarified, he must not act rashly, otherwise, he will harm others and himself.
He took another sip of water, put down the cup, and then smiled gently: "I guess, you must be wondering if Qin Yu and I will develop a relationship between men and women, right?" ”
Whether or not Karen was so cranky, Graphite decided to limit the topic to the two of them, and the flush on his face had faded as he said this.
Karen naturally looked at the graphite that was embarrassed before, a shy big man, a big man who would blush.
In Karen's life, she rarely met a big man like graphite who seemed to be excellent in all aspects and would blush, and the moment she saw him blushing just now, she felt that her heart was really moved, and her heart was like a deer.
Under her willow-like eyebrows, the pair of mature and intellectual beautiful eyes seemed to contain a layer of wavy water, rippling countless ripples and reverie, but years of self-esteem and self-love made her still reserved, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, not allowing them to easily break down her defense.
This mature man and woman consciously control themselves and resist the temptation of life instincts.
"Actually, celebrities are not necessarily unattainable, you can actually try, I think Qin Yu still approves of you." Karen thought one thing in his heart, said one thing on his lips, and said generously.
"It's too far away," Graphite sighed and smiled, "What's more, I'm still focusing on the future of our company now," After speaking, Graphite glanced at Karen, the two looked at each other for a moment, and Graphite continued to smile: "I'm just like you, everything is fate." Moreover, I just struggled out of my previous marriage, and I really didn't think about it now, yes, fate! He emphasized it again, as if to Karen and as if to tell himself.
Karen suddenly read some past and sorrow on the graphite face that she didn't know, and when the man said the word "casually", she noticed that he suddenly and unconsciously looked up, but there was nothing on the ceiling, and Karen knew that through the layers of floor barriers, above was the endless sky and the vast starry sky.
Karen vaguely knew at that moment that he was going to be finished, and the moment this person looked up, his voice and smile seemed to be imprinted in his heart, the finished bird.
Is it a matter of fate? Karen asked herself, is this my fate?
She has lived for thirty-two years and has a clear understanding of the world, the easier it is to get, the less she will cherish it, this world, this era, everything seems to be at your fingertips, so love becomes a legend or drama.
