(1) Wandering into troubled times
Banner hunting, war horses neighing.
I looked up at the man who had come back from his horse in the harsh sun, and tears could not stop falling from the corners of my eyes.
"Diao Chan ......" he jumped off his horse, strode up to me, sighed and clasped me tightly in his arms.
"I don't know when we will see each other again...... I grabbed his sleeves tightly with both hands, buried my face in his arms, choked up, and the broken sound was scattered with the wind into the dust, inaudible.
His eyes were slowly soaked with pain, his palms clenched into fists, and slowly released, and then gently held up my face, and said softly: "In the battle of Baimenlou, if I, Lu Fengxian, survive, from now on, I will accompany you to the breeze and the moon, swim in the mountains and lakes, and never leave you." β
He looked into my eyes and made a solemn promise, a dark red robe fluttering in the wind, the sound of hunting.
"Hmm." I smiled with tears in my eyes, "I'll wait for you." β
The wind is swaying, and the horses are neighing...... How desolate......
"Cards!" The director shouted, "OK! Get ready for the next one! β
Putting away my tears, I reached out and pushed away Mo Fei, who was still in the play, and asked the assistant who was already waiting on the side to drape his coat over my shoulders.
Taking the thermos cup and paper towel handed by the assistant, I wiped the tears on my face that were blown cold by the wind, and held the thermos cup and shrank into a ball. In order to ensure that the picture is good-looking, the costume on my body is very elegant, but such a flowing costume is really unbearable in the weather of minus five or six degrees.
Stiff hands unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, a stream of heat with water mist rushed to the face, the face that had been frozen and numb suddenly felt numb, so comfortable that even the pores were dilated, I squinted my eyes, lowered my head and drank a sip of the steaming rose tea in the cup, and then I felt a little warmth in my stiff limbs.
Mo Fei, who was already wearing an overcoat, walked up to me and sat down with a hand warmer bag, and stuffed a delicate gift bag into me.
"Yo, what is this?" Makeup artist Sister Lin said sharply.
"New Year's gifts, everyone has a share." Mo Fei smiled and pointed to the big plastic bag in the opposite corner, and through the translucent plastic bag, he could see that there were all small gift bags inside.
"Mo Fei really has a heart, but An Ruo's New Year's gift seems to be more special." Sister Lin glanced at the gift bag in my hand and smiled a little ambiguously.
Inside the gift bag is a sky blue suede jewelry box, which is worth a lot of money by looking at the LOGO.
"I really can't hide anything from Sister Lin's sharp eyes, but Sister Lin must keep it a secret from me!" Mo Fei smiled and winked at her, the electrified peach blossom eyes were full of lethality.
"What secrecy?" The director walked over, smoothed the hand warmer bag in Mo Fei's hand, and interjected.
Sister Lin smiled and touched up my makeup, and handed Mo Fei an indescribable look.
I smiled a little, casually put the gift bag in Mo Fei's hand, and didn't rush to clear it, not even a hint of shyness.
Because I play a couple in the play, the scandal between me and Mo Fei has been spreading recently, and it has been on the cover of many gossip publications, and even the people in the crew often make fun of us. A few years ago, I might have blushed and my heart beating, or I was anxious to explain it, but now I ...... I am almost an old fritter in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, and I have already learned to be calm, not to mention that this scandal is still the first news released by the crew, and there is an element of hype.
It's just that I don't know what kind of wind this Mo Gongzi smoked, but recently he used the scandal to put on a fake show and make a real appearance, and frequently showed favor to me, which made the scandal more and more intense, fortunately, I am no longer the little girl who yearns for love at the beginning, otherwise I would probably have fallen under his suit pants.
After being in the industry for so long, I don't believe that there is any real love in this circle, let alone the love of this world-famous Mo Gongzi. Mo Gongzi is an authentic playboy rich second generation, acting is to play tickets, and picking up girls is the main business, but what makes people envious and jealous is that he can also play an actor by playing tickets.
Therefore, people are more popular than dead people.
But these have nothing to do with me, the amorous and golden playboy changed his evil and returned to the right for love, and since then he has been weak for three thousand, and the story of only taking a scoop of drink has never been suitable for appearing on the screen, and it will be exempt in real life, and mortals such as me really can't afford it.
"An Ruo, you prepare for the last scene today, Lu Bu died in Baimen Tower, you killed yourself with a horizontal sword, shoot and call it a day, everyone has a good year today." The director looked left and right, and when he saw that everyone was laughing and silent, he guessed it too, and patted me on the shoulder with a smile.
I slightly curled my lips, which had been painted pale by the makeup artist, "Okay." β
Rubbing his slightly red and swollen eyes, and finishing the last crying scene, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the Spring Festival Gala had already begun. Since I stepped into this circle, I have never sat in front of the TV with my family on time.
The film and television city has been newly decorated, and there are lights everywhere, revealing a strong New Year's flavor. It is said that from the third day of the Lunar New Year, this film and television city will be open to the public, and at that time, the ticket alone will be a lot of income.
At this time, in addition to our crew, only the crew of "Big Dream Spring and Autumn" is left in the film and television city, after all, unless there is a particularly rushed film, no one wants to be busy in the Chinese New Year's Eve. It just so happened that the directors of the two crews had a relationship, so they spent the New Year together. This side has just finished work, and a large pot of hot dumplings has been cooked there.
Dong Taishi, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and Xi Shi, a beautiful woman I see pitiful, are drinking together, Wu Wangfu sent a big bowl of dumplings for Goujian, the king of Yue, and Situ Wangyun drank with a red face and bragged with the makeup artist, and the scene was quite harmonious.
"An Ruo, come and eat dumplings, there are carrots and meat fillings." The amazing General Fan Li held the bowl and waved at me with a smile.
I smiled and waved my hand, I have been a trapeze artist for a whole year, and if I don't go home in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will definitely be read to death by my mother, but fortunately, this film and television base is not too far from X City, and it can be reached in more than three hours by walking at high speed.
"If you don't have a chance in this life...... Will we ever see each other again in the next life...... Beauty has always been in a dilemma since ancient times......" At this moment, a melodious and mournful song sounded coldly, the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching, and I reached out and took out my mobile phone from my coat pocket.
The ringtone of the mobile phone was recently set up by the director, and he said that he would strengthen my acting mood...... It's really dirty and scum.
"If you are a dead girl, what time is it now that you promised your mother to go home for the New Year! If you don't go home, you won't have to come back! "As soon as the phone was connected, before I could open my mouth, there was a roar that shook my eardrums and almost burst.
I couldn't help but reach out and pluck my ears, I took the phone farther away, and said helplessly: "Queen Mother, I just finished work, and I'm about to come back, Chinese New Year's Eve you curse me like this, am I your own......"
"You'll be thirty years old today! If you don't marry, you won't be born to me! Come back soon! After roaring in a hurry, there was a "snap", and the phone hung up.
β¦β¦ It's related to getting married again.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I habitually put the phone in my pocket, and when I looked up, I saw that the director who stood next to me at some point was gossiping at me with a smile on his face.
"I was forced to marry by your mother again."
"Well, I can't hide for a while, and it seems that this catastrophe is inevitable today." smiled and straightened my hair that was blown by the wind, and I didn't try to hide anything, anyway, the forced marriage of my queen mother is no longer news in the crew. I also want to know that today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is definitely a Hongmen banquet, the three aunts and six mothers-in-law gathered together, the scene is spectacular, plus this girl is twenty-nine years old this year, and Yun Ying is still unmarried, waiting for the purdah, naturally it is the target of the public.
"What is not robbed, Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know how to avoid it." The director scolded with a smile, and bumped my shoulder with a lewd face, "Who would have thought that our famous scandal queen Miss An Ruo would be forced to marry by her mother, hey, it's better to think about Mo Fei, although that young man is a little exaggerated, it's really good for you." β
I smiled and glanced at the director: ""Mochizuki" will only be released in the summer next year, why are you in such a hurry to stir up scandals?" β
"Na Na Na, I'm a good heart, why is you so embarrassed by you." The director touched his nose and was a little uncomfortable.
I hooked the corners of my lips and didn't say anything about his words.
As he was talking, he saw Mo Fei, who had changed his clothes, walking over with his long legs and a graceful demeanor, full of aura and a natural star style.
The director squeezed his eyes at me: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, I won't bother you, don't forget the scene where you want to dance under the moon tomorrow night, and you will return to the crew tomorrow afternoon at the latest." As he spoke, he smiled obscenely at Mo Fei, who came over, and strode to grab dumplings with General Fan.
"You forgot to take your gift." Mo Fei smiled, walked up to me, and shook the small gift bag in his hand.
That's what I fell on purpose.
I pursed my lips and made a look of embarrassment.
"It's a New Year's gift, everyone has a share." Mo Fei looked at me with a smile on his face.
"I'm not going to return the favor."
"Then as a return gift, let me take your car home, it's quite a ride anyway." Mo Fei climbed the pole.
β¦β¦ Way?
"Don't you live in S City?"
Going all the way from City X to City S? The two opposite directions will not be too much of a stretch.
"I just recently moved to City X, don't you know?" Mo Fei looked at me with an exaggerated expression.
All right......
I suddenly remembered a legend. Legend has it that this playboy has "palaces" in several cities, so that he can pick up girls at any time, and this kind of large-scale method of picking girls is really not something that ordinary people can afford to emulate.
I sneered and silently walked to the nanny car on the side, Mo Fei followed very consciously, and without waiting for me to say hello, he followed me very cheekily and got into the car and found a comfortable position to sit down.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I adjusted the car seat to a comfortable height, half-lying and planned to rest, and when I got home later, I would definitely not be able to rest well, just listening to the nagging of those three aunts and six women, I am afraid it will be enough for me to drink a pot.
Probably seeing that I was really tired, Mo Fei didn't talk to me anymore, and before I knew it, I was asleep.
In a trance, I had a dream that I was pushed off a cliff and fell into the abyss, and my body fell endlessly, and the feeling of dizziness was very real......
"Anruo, wake up." In fear, someone pushed me.
Opening my eyes suddenly, I stared at the roof of the car in a daze.
"Nightmare?" Mo Fei's voice sounded in his ears, with an inexplicable ambiguity.
I came back to my senses all of a sudden, pushed him away a bit, and looked out of the car, which had already gotten off the highway: "Where do you live?" I'll send you first. β
Mo Fei raised his eyebrows and returned to his place and sat down: "Lanzhou Flower Garden." β
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mo Gongzi looked at me with a smile.
I shook my head and smiled fakely: "What a coincidence, I also live in Lanzhou Flower Garden." β
"Oops! Is it really such a coincidence?! Mo Gongzi looked at me with a surprised expression.
I finally know how he came to be the best actor, and he really deserves it.
"yes, what a coincidence." I laughed even more fakely.
Because it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family was reunited, and there were very few cars on the road at this time, so the car drove all the way to the Lanzhou Flower Garden.
After getting out of the car, something even more coincidental happened, Mo Fei actually lived opposite my house.
"Oh, we're really fated." Mo Fei looked at me without blushing and without a heartbeat.
I didn't bother to complain about him, and waved at him to go home.
"An Ruo......" Mo Fei grabbed me.
I looked back at him to see what else he could do.
"This Chinese New Year, I'm too lonely and pitiful, why don't you let me go to your house for the New Year." Mo Fei said with a blushing face.
I struggled for a moment, and was thinking about how to shake off this piece of kraft candy, when the surprise came.
βSurpriseοΌβ A blonde girl with big breasts and fat buttocks tiptoed out of his house, then shouted and hugged him from behind unexpectedly.
Mo Fei was so frightened by this surprise that he almost sat on the ground.
I couldn't help laughing, looking at Mo Fei's pale face, and glaring at the foreign girl with ghost-like eyes.
"You, you, why are you here?!"
"Happy to spend the Chinese New Year with you? Dear Fly! The foreign girl spoke fluent Chinese, and after finishing speaking, she flew a big wink at him.
I was thundered by "dear fly" and couldn't help but shake off a layer of goosebumps.
"Happy New Year, I'm Susan, who are you?" The girl turned to look at me with a hint of hostility on her face.
"I'm Mo Fei's colleague, I won't bother you, Happy New Year." As I spoke, I held back a laugh, waved at them, and hurried home.
"Miss Ruoruo, you are back." It was the housekeeper Liu's mother who opened the door, and when she saw me, she was relieved.
I nodded, remembering the colorful expression on Mo Fei's face just now, and finally couldn't help laughing.
I was smiling heartily, and suddenly I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and when I looked up, the smile suddenly froze on my lips.
The sofa in the living room was full of people, in addition to a few relatives, there were three strange men, all of them in suits and ties, and one turned out to be a foreigner.
"What are you laughing at like crazy, come here." Mom waved at me.
"These are ......" wiped the smile from the corner of my mouth, and the uneasiness in my heart gradually expanded.
"It's rude, don't call someone quickly." Mom glared at me.
"Auntie, third aunt, second aunt." I'm honest with people.
"Well, ouch, if we really grow more and more, we will be more and more smart." The aunt smiled with a wrinkled face, "It's even more beautiful than what you see on TV!" β
"These are ......" I looked at the other elite men, it shouldn't be my cousin's cousin, after all, our family doesn't seem to have mixed blood......
"This is an assistant researcher at your aunt's research institute, who lives in Y City. This is the department manager in your third aunt's company, who lives in W City. This is the new foreign teacher in your second aunt's college, and he is from country F. They didn't go home for the Chinese New Year, so they came to our house to celebrate the New Year. My mother was busy introducing them one by one with great interest, and after finishing her words, she winked at me for fear that the world would not be chaotic, "Especially Mr. Steven, he is particularly interested in the Chinese New Year." β
Looking at my mother's smiling appearance, I suddenly remembered Mo Fei's Surprise, and at this moment, I suddenly deeply realized the ultimate meaning of happiness and sorrow.
"Miss An, I like your performance of "Summer Worm" very much, that Liu Xiaoxiao is so beautiful and real...... I don't know what kind of person Miss An is in life? On the side, Mr. Assistant Researcher stood up and smiled politely.
"Miss Ann, it's such an honor to meet you." Mr. Steven, a foreign teacher, strode over enthusiastically and opened his arms to give me a veneer salute.
I looked at my smug mother in horror...... It's a naked blind date! It's so * naked!
Looking at the enthusiastic smiling faces in front of me, I felt that my head was as big as a bucket.
"Damn, where are you going?" Mom's octave voice suddenly sounded, and I realized that my feet were unconsciously running out the door.
Alas, Chinese New Year's Eve's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner turned into a ridiculous blind date feast...... If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Even if you are in a hurry to marry me off, you don't have to rush like this......
Without much thought, I turned and opened the door and ran out, like a jackal, tiger and leopard chasing after me.
"Dead girl, don't come back if you have the courage to step out of this house today!" Mom's angry voice sounded behind her.
My mother's threat was like wind in my ears, and I was already running and jumping out of the house.
Standing at the door of the house, I subconsciously looked up at the villa of Mo Fei's family opposite, the villa was brightly lit, and a pair of embracing figures were reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor.
A cold wind blew in my face, and I shrunk and wrapped my coat tightly, pulling my collar up to cover my face.
With my hands in my pockets, I slowly walked out of the villa area, outside which was a newly built commercial street, filled with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year could be seen all over the street.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year...... I wish you all a happy new year......" There was joyful singing in the restaurant next to it.
Although it was late at night, the road was still brightly lit, and I wandered casually down the street, occasionally with a couple snuggling in front of me, which was enviably sweet.
"Ah, roasted sweet potatoes!" A girl next to her laughed and shouted, and then the boy who hugged her chuckled a little dotingly, and took her by the hand and ran to the stall where the sweet potatoes were roasted.
I stood there and watched the boy rub his hands and buy sweet potatoes and put them in the girl's hand, and the girl smiled sweetly and held the boy's hand with the sweet potato, looking as if she already had the whole world. Pursing my lips slightly, I reached out and patted my cheek that was about to freeze, so simple touched, so simple love......
After acting in so many life and death, vigorous love, but I seem to be more and more lost in myself, in the story, I can make a promise of life and death, and meet in the next life. I watched the characters in the script with a cold eye, and then played them, I could control their fate, but in real life, I couldn't control my own destiny at all.
Love should exist, but it just doesn't happen to me......
When I was young, I didn't fantasize about the story of Prince Charming and Cinderella, but unfortunately, there is no prince in this world.
Even if I am a prince, I don't want to be the tragic little mermaid in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale...... Well? Or the poor little match girl? When I was a child, when I saw the little girl who struck matches one by one in the corner of the wall on a winter night, I didn't know how much I longed for a prince to come down from the sky, riding a snow-white horse, wearing a black cloak, with a clear smile, and extending a warm hand to the little girl who sold matches...... Hehe, it's a pity...... At the end, I could only sniff and wipe my tears...... Prince, after all, he didn't show up......
Shaking my head, I don't seem to have time to sigh about this at the moment, I should think about how to deal with my mother's endless blind date tricks. If one day, I really get married, I think it must be succumbing to my mother's "forced marriage", which has nothing to do with love.
"When...... While...... When the bell on the ...... city tower strikes twelve, the new year has arrived.
"Bang!" Dazzling fireworks burst into the air.
As I stood on the street, looking at the endless fireworks in mid-air, I suddenly felt unprecedented loneliness.
It turns out that being disease-free* is a must, and as soon as I felt lonely, the crowd around me became lively......
Sensing signs of movement in the crowd around me, I subconsciously turned my head sideways to look at the person closest to me.
"You...... Are you Anruo?! The man was staring at me stunned, and then suddenly pointed at me and yelled.
"Ahhh That's Anruo! β
"Anruo!"
"Is it really her?!" The whispers in my ears grew louder and louder, and by the time I came back to my senses, I was exposed to the hot gaze of everyone like a rare animal in the zoo being watched by tourists.
I was slightly stunned for a long time, and there was no time to hesitate, so I pulled out my feet and ran.
"It's really An Ruo, chase after it!"
"An Ruo, sign it for me!"
"Anruo!"
"An Ruo, I like you so much......"
"An Ruo, I love you!"
"An Ruo ......"
The cold wind lifted my coat, and I ran panting like a cow and sweating, but the team chasing me behind me grew and became more and more spectacular, alas...... While running resignedly, I took out my mobile phone and called my mother for help: "Hey, Mom, come and save me!" β
"You damn girl dare to call back!" Mom's angry voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, okay, I know it's wrong, hurry up and drive to save me, I'm recognized on the road!" I ran desperately and begged for mercy.
"Haha, let you be unfilial, and you will be punished." On the other end of the phone, there was a voice from my mother, very gloating.
I wanted to cry without tears: "I really know it's wrong, Queen Mother, come and save me!" β
"Hmph, since you sincerely admit your mistake, I will be merciful and forgive you, where are you?"
I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly looked around, and said quickly: "I have now run to Taoyuan Road, and I have met next to the bar in my previous life......"
Before I finished speaking, the mobile phone "snapped" and fell to the ground, accompanied by the screaming and gasping sound behind me, my mind went blank, and I felt like I was falling straight down......
Damn it! Which one doesn't even cover the manhole cover!
Yes...... My life is at rest!
I couldn't have imagined that my short life at the age of twenty-nine would end in this little well......
Mom, this time I really don't have to participate in the blind date banquet you prepared for me, and I really can't enter the house again, alas, I said the New Year, don't curse me...... What to do, now it is a prophecy......
I can almost imagine how sensational the newspaper headlines will be tomorrow...... The scandal queen An Ruo fell into the yin well and died on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve......
Consciousness gradually blurred, and I finally lost consciousness.
