Chapter 36: Nightmares and Hugs
What is Despair?
It's not that when you're in the abyss, you find that no one reaches out to pull you. Instead, you find that the so-called abyss was created by the people you care about the most.
Su Nian looked at the sunset on the horizon, as red as blood. She looked up again, and saw a pair of indifferent eyes on the high roof, all staring at her.
There was a jumble of voices, the screams of women, the cries of children, the sound of sirens and ambulances. Su Nian felt a little tired, but he couldn't close his eyes.
Suddenly, she felt that there were countless more hands on her body, and those hands were pulling her, scratching her, scratching her, and scratching her to the ground, but Su Nian couldn't move.
And quietly, a pair of hands gently covered her neck and grabbed her throat tightly.
Su Nian began to gasp, she waved her arms, and she couldn't even make a sound for help.
The red glow in the sky seemed to be collapsing, Su Nian shouted in despair, and then woke up from the dream.
She touched the cold sweat on her head, sighed weakly, got up and poured herself a sip of water to drink. looked out the window, it was dusk at this time, the red glow outside the window was all over the sky, she slept long enough this afternoon, at this time she only felt tired, and she couldn't slow down for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Mengqian's voice came from outside the door, and she seemed to have just come back. While opening the door, he also talked to others.
"Don't send it, Su Nian is still at home. Thank you, Mr. Yang! Zhao Mengqian spoke softly, and there was no emotion in her tone, and she was even a little more alienated than ordinary friends.
You don't have to think about it to know that it was Yang Miao who was standing outside the door.
"Do you have a job tomorrow? Am I coming to pick you up? โ
"No, I'm going to join the group in a few days, and then I'm going to shoot in other places. Don't bother! Zhao Mengqian said a few polite words, and then closed the door without waiting for Yang Miao to say anything more.
Su Nian walked out and glanced at Zhao Mengqian meaningfully.
"What are you laughing at there!" Zhao Mengqian handed the bag in her hand to Su Nian and said, "Give it to you!" โ
"Yang Miao is interesting to you?" Su Nian said with a smile.
"It's okay, but my sister is not interested in men now!"
"Yo, I'm going to be a strong woman!" Su Nian sat beside her and said with a smile: "See? โ
"Not really!" Zhao Mengqian leaned on Su Nian and said: "After leaving Lin Yuanfan, I only knew that with my current salary, I would have to shoot three episodes of TV series to buy a bag!" I've got to work hard for my bags, my shoes, my jewelry! โ
"If only you could think like that!" Su Nian patted her cheek.
"Davin Jewelry's endorsement fee for you should be a lot of money, why don't I see you buy some bags and jewelry, we are female stars, and we must have pomp and circumstance when we go out. You don't know that those paparazzi, one camera after another, can always shoot you ugly. Then peel off the brand of clothes on your body, compare with this and that, and you have to be careful not to hit the shirt like others. It's so hard! โ
"I've saved all that money and used it to buy a house in the future!" Su Nian smiled and said: "Besides, the jewelry I attended the event was provided by Dai Wen, clothes or something, and I am about to be the spokesperson of Y&J, and it is estimated that there is no shortage!" โ
"What kind of house do you have to save money to buy, you are Sheng Yankai's bright girlfriend now, different from when I was a junior, you let Sheng Yankai buy you a set of ten sets of eight, even if you quit the entertainment industry in the future, you can sit at home and be a charter wife!"
Su Nian was amused by her words, Zhao Mengqian was so simple, no matter how much she was hurt, she could recover quickly.
"Mengqian!" Su Nian remembered Guo Yalin's attitude when she saw Zhao Mengqian's photo today, and asked tentatively: "Your contract with Yuexin is about to expire, right?" โ
"Yes, we signed a contract together when we graduated, but because we were newcomers, we only signed for three years, and it was about to expire."
"Then do you want to stay in Yuexin?"
Zhao Mengqian glanced at Su Nian suspiciously and said, "No one came to dig me, I haven't been a famous person for three years, and it's a question of whether I will keep me." โ
"If, I mean if, can you go to Huasheng?" Su Nianyi grabbed Zhao Mengqian's hand, her eyes full of hope.
"Huh? Don't be funny, how can I go to Huasheng? Zhao Mengqian waved her hand and said, "You also know how high the threshold of Huasheng is!" โ
"How do you know if you don't fight for it!" Su Nian's expression became serious.
"Oh! I know, you want to go to Huasheng yourself! Zhao Mengqian patted her thigh and said, "It's not surprising, you are Sheng Yankai's girlfriend now, and you are Huasheng's crown princess." Think about the past is not just a matter of one sentence! โ
Su Nian shook his head and said, "No, I didn't want to go to Huasheng. I also told Sister Wu today that I will continue to stay in Yuexin! โ
"Why?" Zhao Mengqian was puzzled.
"Because of my appearance, there is no advantage in going to Huasheng. Huasheng has more small flowers, and I take the route of Tsing Yi, so I should stay in Yuexin honestly and hone my acting skills. โ
"If you don't go, I won't go either!"
"You're going!" Su Nian suddenly said seriously: "There is also a need for someone to replace Yao Junyi!" โ
"What did you say?" Hearing this name, Zhao Mengqian reflexively sat up straight, with a panicked expression on her face. It seems that that day still left a big shadow on her.
"If you could, would you be willing to become the next Yao Junyi?"
Zhao Mengqian pursed her lips, who doesn't want to go to Yao Junyi's position? But that doesn't mean she can do it if she wants to.
"I ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"I can help you if you want!" Su Nian's firmness made Zhao Mengqian's heart a little shaken.
"This is Yao Junyi's agent's phone number, you should have heard her. Wait until you and Yuexin have terminated the contract, but try to contact her! โ
"But if I go to Huasheng, it won't be easier for Yao Junyi to bully me!"
"No, with me! And your Mr. Yang! Su Nian squeezed his eyes and said, "If you really go to Huasheng, you must be a key training object." If Yao Junyi dares to move a finger of you, then she won't want to mess around! โ
Zhao Mengqian smiled in disbelief and said, "Look at what you said, am I that powerful?" โ
Su Nian also laughed, and after the two played for a while, they went to wash and rest.
At the same time, in the Sheng family, Sheng Yankai looked at the man in front of him with his legs crossed, with a look of disdain.
"Can't you sit down?" Sheng Yuefeng said coldly.
"It's good for me to sit like this, I sit like this when I shoot blockbusters! You can't get used to moving to another location! Sheng Yankai replied with a sneer, it was rare for the father and son to meet once, and the smell of gunpowder was full.
"Big brother, Akai!" At this time, a few people walked in outside the door, and a beautiful woman led by her looked at her eyebrows and eyes, and she was very kind. This is Sheng Yankai's aunt, Sheng Yueshan. She was followed by Guo Ming and Guo Yalin, and the family was happy when they saw it.
"Auntie!" Sheng Yankai immediately stood up and moved a chair for her.
"Hasn't Ke come back yet?"
"It's said that there are more things in the company, and it will be a little later, so let's eat first!" The butler said respectfully on the side.
"Auntie, you're getting younger!" Sheng Yankai leaned over to her and said, "Look, the wrinkles are gone!" Auntie, how do you maintain it? Those female celebrities are envious of you! โ
"Alright, don't be poor!" Sheng Yueshan patted his face and said, "Sit down and eat!" โ
Compared with Sheng Yuelin, Sheng Yankai is obviously closer to this aunt. Since his mother died, he has been raised by Sheng Yueshan.
"Arlene is back!" Sheng Yuefeng said hello to Guo Yalin and Guo Ming, everyone sat down one by one, and the housekeeper instructed his subordinates to start serving.
"By the way, Akai, this is what I prepared for you!" Sheng Yueshan took out a delicate jewelry box from her bag and handed it to Sheng Yankai.
"What is this?" Sheng Yankai took it and opened it to see that it was the new ruby necklace of Devon Jewelry this year.
"Didn't you have a girlfriend? It's rare for you to officially admit a girl, so my aunt has to say something! โ
"Wow, auntie, you're so nice!" Sheng Yankai said happily: "I thank you for Su Nian!" โ
Guo Ming looked at Sheng Yankai's appearance, thinking to himself, why was he not surprised by this matter at all? After all, when he was shooting the commercial, he felt that something seemed wrong with the two.
"This one, it was brought by Su Nian when he first shot the advertisement, the number is 01, the first in the world!" Guo Ming then added: "I knew that you, a little cub, wouldn't choose a gift, this gift is sweet enough and romantic!" โ
Sheng Yankai took the necklace, put it on his mouth and kissed it, and then said: "Thank you so much, uncle, I don't want to be paid for the next movie!" Be the leading actor for you for free! โ
"If you have the male lead, you can come and play a eunuch!"
Sheng Yueshan snorted and laughed, Sheng Yankai still nodded and said, "No problem, as long as my uncle speaks, don't talk about eunuchs, even if it's a dead corpse, I will play it!" โ
"Eat!" Sheng Yuefeng suddenly slapped the table and said, "What can't die?" โ
Sheng Yueshan hurriedly gave Sheng Yankai a look, and he sat back in his seat stupidly.
"Shanshan, you don't know what kind of person this girl is, so you're in such a hurry to give a meeting gift!" Sheng Yuefeng said dissatisfiedly: "I have investigated, a little star who is not famous, only through the advertising of Dai Wen Jewelry and Akai's kiss scene has he gained a little popularity these days. This kind of girl must have taken advantage of you to get on top, and you are stupid to cause such a big disaster for her! โ
Sheng Yankai listened to it and said disdainfully: "What does that mean, it means that as long as I am still Sheng Yankai, she will not leave me." How nice! โ
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
"I don't need to!"
The father and son glared at each other angrily, and Sheng Yueshan hurriedly stood up to play a round.
"Okay, okay, you father and son, as soon as we meet, we will quarrel. Can't you just have a good meal? Isn't it for Arlene? โ
Sheng Yankai turned his head and snorted coldly and said, "It's not because of my cousin that I'm too lazy to eat this meal!" โ
"Akai! Say less! Sheng Yueshan glared at him, and Sheng Yankai lowered his head and continued to eat.
"Uncle, I've seen that girl, she's a very smart girl, I don't think she's bad in nature, I think you can rest assured." Guo Yalin said with a smile, and Guo Ming also echoed on the side: "It's a very simple girl, I think you can rest assured!" โ
Sheng Yuefeng's face was only slightly better, then he looked at his watch and said to the housekeeper: "Make a call and ask Ah Ke when he will come back, if it's too late, forget it, let him come back and come directly to my study!" โ
"No need, I'm back." Sheng Yanke walked in from outside the door, and then greeted everyone with a smile.
"Ah Ke is back, sit down!" Sheng Yueshan also smiled politely, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. For this illegitimate child who came home at the age of ten, she never liked it in her heart.
Guo Yalin glanced at Sheng Yanke, after coming out of Su Nian's house during the day, she caught up with Yao Junyi, and persuaded her to go home after saying anything, looking at Yao Junyi's attitude, Guo Yalin was a little convinced that Su Nian would not do anything to seduce the two brothers. After all, in the past, as long as a woman was close to Sheng Yanke, she would be miserable by Yao Junyi. Some normal actions in her eyes are to seduce Sheng Yanke, maybe Su Nian is really a lucky person. Yao Junyi just suffered retribution for her many injustices.
In other words, retribution is yet to come.
Seeing Sheng Yanke, Sheng Yuefeng's face was obviously much better. As we all know, he is much better to this eldest son than the younger son who is rightfully named.
"Ah Ke, is the work hard?" Like a normal father, he began to shush and ask for warmth.
"It's okay, it's just that there is a project that needs funds to start recently, Dad, you have time to read the plan book."
"No, I trust you!"
As soon as Sheng Yanke wanted to say something, he heard the sound of chopsticks being smashed, Sheng Yankai stood up angrily and said, "I'm full!" After saying that, he went back to his room without saying hello.
Sheng Yueshan saw this scene and sighed leisurely. Sheng Yanke's face was also a little unsightly, but he still stood up politely and said, "I'm not very hungry, Dad, I'll go back to the study to deal with things first!" โ
Seeing that the two sons had left, Sheng Yuefeng also put down his chopsticks and sighed.
"Big brother, you're still so partial!" Sheng Yueshan shook her head and said, "No wonder Akai is not close to you. โ
"So what else do you want me to do? I've tolerated him enough! โ
Sheng Yueshan knew that she couldn't persuade this brother, for so many years, their father and son have been getting along like this, Sheng Yankai's cynical temperament was mostly cultivated to anger him, I just hope that he really likes a girl this time, and I also hope that he can accept his temperament because of this.
In the middle of the night, Su Nian finished applying the mask and was about to sleep, but received a call from Sheng Yankai.
This guy really makes three calls a day.
"What's wrong?" Su Nian still spoke in a gentle tone.
"No, I can't look for you if it's okay?" Sheng Yankai's voice was a little tired.
Su Nian heard something wrong, and then asked softly, "I said it was okay, but my voice changed." Say, what the hell is going on? โ
"I feel a little uncomfortable!" Sheng Yankai said helplessly: "I want to find someone to talk to!" โ
Su Nian paused, then turned on the mobile phone hands-free and got up to get dressed.
"Then you say, I'll listen!"
"I don't know where to start, what did you do today?"
"Me? Didn't I tell you at noon? Play games at home and eat takeout! It felt so good to have a long, long nap in the afternoon. But I heard Sister Wu say that she has been busy all day today, and all kinds of invitations have come! โ
Sheng Yankai listened to Su Nian's delicate and soft voice, and only felt that it was so good?
"By the way, my aunt gave you a gift, I'll give it to you when I find time!"
"Really? Thank you so much, Auntie! โ
"Auntie so soon, you want to enter my house?"
"Nasty!" Su Nianjiao snorted and said, "Otherwise, what am I going to say?" Mrs. Guo, or Boss Sheng? โ
Sheng Yankai also laughed dryly, but did not speak.
I had already changed my clothes, picked up my phone, and while answering the phone, I went out the door.
"What the hell is wrong with you? If you don't say anything, I'll hang up the phone! Su Nian pretended to be angry and said.
"Niannian, do your parents love you?"
Su Nian paused, and he knew a rough idea in his heart. I heard that the eldest son of the Sheng family was an illegitimate child, but Sheng Yuefeng gave him the company against public opinion, and he was also very fond of him, just because his mother was Sheng Yuefeng's first love. And Sheng Yankai's mother is just a victim of the marriage of interests.
Just like all romances, Sheng Yanke's mother is the female number one, they are reunited after a long absence, and they are reunited. And what about Sheng Yankai's mother? It should be the vicious female number two, and the organs are exhausted, but they can't die well.
But romance has always been the end of the male and female protagonists living happily together, what about the next story?
Even if she is the vicious female number two, her child is innocent.
Sheng Yankai is that innocent child.
Thinking of this, Su Nian's heart suddenly softened, he was just a child who lacked love, right?
"My parents love me very much, didn't I say before, although they didn't have money, they still sent me to dance lessons, I thought, I want to save money and change them to a big house. Raise them another dog, I will not be by their side all the year round, and they will tease the dog, and they will not feel bored. But now they're still young, and they're still working! My mom is a textile worker, my dad is a taxi driver, I don't think I even told you! โ
Sheng Yankai listened to Su Nian's chatter, and felt a little warm in his heart.
He is used to seeing fairies who do not eat fireworks in the world, and it is the first time he has come into contact with such a family with a strong sense of life.
"No need to save money, I'll give them a big house tomorrow!"
"Come on, they also called me today to ask me, saying how I fell in love with such a popular star, and asking you what this big star likes about me, it's funny to think about it!"
Sheng Yankai also smiled, smiled and laughed, and was silent again. After a long while, he said, "My father doesn't like me, and my mother died early, so I envy you!" โ
Su Nian was also silent, everyone envied the identity of the young master of the Sheng family, but who knows?
"Then you miss your mom so much, don't you?"
"yes, I really want to!" Sheng Yankai looked at the stars in the sky and muttered to himself: "She is a very kind woman, just like you!" โ
"Like me?" Su Nian paused, inexplicably speechless.
Don't be like me, I'm not kind.
"Did you quarrel with your father?" Su Nian asked cautiously.
"Sort of, I'm used to it!"
"So every time you have a fight, do you find someone to talk to?"
"No, it's all about calling my brother to go outside to play!" Sheng Yankai said casually, but he immediately reacted, this is talking to his girlfriend!
"No, no, now that I have a girlfriend, I naturally don't go to play. If there's anything wrong, just talk to you! โ
"Just talking, okay?" Su Nian smiled mischievously, and then said, "You go and see what's outside your door!" โ
Sheng Yankai was stunned, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and found Su Nian standing at the gate of the Sheng family!
Su Nian saw Sheng Yankai open the window, and hurriedly beckoned.
Sheng Yankai's eyes were hot for some reason, and he turned around and rushed downstairs.
When he heard Sheng Yankai's voice was wrong, Su Nian knew that he must be unhappy. When you're unhappy, it's better to say a thousand comforting words than to give him a hug in person! Fortunately, the Sheng family is only two streets away from her apartment, and she quietly takes a taxi with her mobile phone, and it will be there in ten minutes!
The door opened, and Sheng Yankai ran out quickly. Su Nian looked at him with a smile, then opened his arms and said, "If you're not happy, just hug it!" โ
Sheng Yankai looked at the girl who stretched out her arms towards her, and her breathing stagnated for a few seconds. He suddenly felt that his impulse at that time was the most correct thing he had done in his life!
Without saying a word, he stepped forward and hugged Su Nian, very hard, very hard. Su Nian was almost out of breath.
"Wow, do you need to strangle people to death when you fall in love and hug?" Su Nian patted Sheng Yankai and said, "My ribs are going to be broken by you." โ
But holding the fragrant and soft Su Nian, how could Sheng Yankai be willing to let go?
"How do you know that I need you now!" Sheng Yankai let go of his hand, looked at Su Nian and said, "How do you know I want a hug?" โ
Su Nian looked at him affectionately, smiled and said, "Because I had a nightmare in the afternoon, a terrible nightmare. When I woke up, there was no one around me. At that time, I really wanted someone to take me into my arms and tell me that it was all just a dream. So when I feel sad about you, I think you should also need a hug, need someone to tell you that you are not unloved, you have me to love you! โ
After saying the sentence "I love you", Sheng Yankai stepped forward and kissed Su Nian's lips. The two kissed under the streetlight, and unlike that advertising shoot, this time they were both very emotional.
And in the Sheng family's mansion, another window let in a little light. Sheng Yanke lifted the corner of the curtain and looked coldly at the little couple kissing under the street lamp, with a disdainful smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Compared with giving expensive gifts and sweet confessions, Su Nian really used the most time-saving and money-saving way to trap Sheng Yankai!
Before Sheng Yankai opened the window, Sheng Yanke noticed that Su Nian was here. It's just that she didn't have a sweet and shy smile on her face at that time. Before she saw Sheng Yankai, her face was indifferent or indifferent.
"The acting is so good!" Sheng Yanke lowered the curtain and took a sip of wine silently.
