Fan Lina drove out of the hotel parking lot and drove out onto the street. The contract she had just signed was placed in the co-pilot's seat, Fan Lina turned her head to look at it, let out a long breath, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

Fan Lina saw Tao Ye walking on the street, hesitated, ignored him, and drove away.

Tao Ye walked in the bustling flow of people, today is the 30th, the day after tomorrow is the New Year, the street has been filled with a festive atmosphere to welcome the New Year.

Tao Ye passed in front of the hot pot restaurant where he and Xiaoting had been together, the time was still early, and the waiting seats had already lined up outside the door, which was very lively, and it seemed even more lonely to him.

At night, Tao Ye smokes on the balcony, two of the balcony windows are glassless, and through the empty windows, you can see the neon signs of the hot pot restaurant in the distance.

Tao Ye looked indoors again, remembering that on the day Xiaoting just moved in, she sat on the sofa bed while brushing her teeth, while watching variety shows on TV, and smiled back and forth. He missed Xiaoting, and Tao Ye suddenly realized that he seemed to have such feelings for the first time to worry about a girl.

。。。

Early in the morning, Tao Ye was still asleep, and was awakened by a burst of WeChat messages, he took his mobile phone and opened it to check, all of them were photos sent by Xiao Ting, some photos taken by Xiao Ting in the streets and alleys of her hometown, and some of them were selfies in various rooms at home, obviously these photos were specially taken for Tao Ye to see, Tao Ye looked at these photos one by one.

was watching, suddenly the mobile phone rang suddenly, Xiaoting made a WeChat video call to him, Tao Ye quickly sat up and leaned on the head of the bed, and picked up the phone. Xiaoting appeared on the screen, her face haggard and sad.

"Hey, how are you?" Tao Ye asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's all done, yesterday passed the first seven."

"Then don't be too sad, grandma is over eighty, which can be regarded as a joy and mourning."

"Well, it's not sad anymore... How are you? ”

"I'm fine, I signed the contract with the crew yesterday. Wen Hao became a director, and he said that he would invite you to dinner when you came back, and asked you to introduce him to a girlfriend. ”

Tao Ye deliberately said something lighthearted, wanting to make Xiao Ting happy, but Xiao Ting suddenly cried when she heard it, and kept sobbing, Tao Ye hurriedly comforted her.

"Don't cry, what's the matter, didn't you say that you wouldn't be sad."

Xiaoting cried a few more times, and suddenly said, "I'm not going back to Beijing... ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Tao Ye was very surprised.

"I'm not going back, let's break up." Xiaoting was sad and heartbroken, and her emotions seemed to be about to collapse.

"If you don't come back, you won't come back, why don't you be a scorer." Tao Ye hurriedly expressed his attitude.

Tao Ye didn't know what had happened to Xiao Ting herself, and he was a little surprised to hear her shouting to break up, but after thinking about it, with his understanding of Xiao Ting, he guessed that Xiao Ting might just want to vent his emotions, so he joked with Xiao Ting.

"Did your parents introduce you to a boyfriend? That's why you're going to kick me. ”

"How can you think about this now! I just want to spend more time with my parents at home, but I'm not there, they are so lonely, and as soon as my grandma died, I felt like my mother was broken. ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Tao Ye asked again: "Then you won't be admitted to film school?" ”

"Well, if you don't take the test, you won't be able to pass the test, it's a waste of time, just take it as a dream."

"You told your parents, and they agreed?"

"No, I haven't told them yet!"

Tao Ye smiled understandingly, "Ah... Yes! Then I'll pack up your things and send them back to you. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? This time it was Xiaoting's turn to be scared.

"You're not coming back!"

"Are you really going to break up with me?"

"So what do you mean? Didn't you come up and say you were going to break up, and you didn't come back. Tao Ye teased Xiaoting with words.

Xiaoting hurriedly said seriously: "I didn't mean that!" ”

"And what the hell do you mean?"

"Why don't you come to our house, didn't you say you like the beach, and you're usually alone, so you don't have much to do."

"Do you really think I'm idle?"

"You didn't say it yourself! You can also continue to take photos here, the scenery by the sea is very beautiful, and many people come here to take wedding photos, which is just right to give full play to your strengths. ”

"Okay, that's it, go to your house to be a son-in-law."

Xiao Ting's simple suggestion made Tao Ye feel a little frustrated, he smiled unnaturally, and said in a perfunctory tone.

"Really, you agreed?"

In the video, Xiaoting smiled happily, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Someone is coming, I won't tell you yet, let's discuss it later, I'll call you later."

"Who's looking for you?"

"I don't know."

Xiaoting insisted, "Then don't hang up the phone yet, you go and see who it is." ”

Tao Ye threw the phone to the pillow, the WeChat video was still on, he got out of bed and walked over to open the door. Outside the door was a real estate agent with a young couple in their early 30s.

"Brother Tao, I'm sorry to disturb you, take them to see the room." The young man of the real estate agent said politely.

The couple also greeted Tao Ye: "Hello, excuse me." ”

Tao Ye said to the intermediary a little irritably: "Didn't I tell you a few days ago, don't bring people here to see the house first, and why don't you say anything first." ”

"I happened to be passing by, so I came up to take a look, I didn't expect you to be really at home, so let them take a look, and it will be over soon."

The intermediary asked sincerely, Tao Ye couldn't listen to other people's soft words, and he didn't want to be long-winded, Xiaoting was still waiting for herself on the video.

"Okay, okay, look, hurry up, I still have something to do."

Tao Ye let them in, and the three of them stood in the small living room and looked around.

"This is the bedroom, and the kitchen and bathroom are over here." The intermediary introduced the couple to the couple, "Brother Tao, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The intermediary took the couple to see the kitchen and bathroom, and Tao Ye returned to the room to pick up the mobile phone and found that Xiaoting had hung up the phone.

After looking at the room, the three of them stood in the middle of the room and discussed, and it seemed that the couple was quite satisfied with the house.

"Let's go down a little more, this house is too old, and the orientation is not very good." The woman wants to keep the price down.

Tao Ye smiled indifferently and didn't speak, and the intermediary hurriedly retorted.

"Although this house is a little older, but the location is very good, on the edge of the fourth ring road, and it is a school district house, close to the subway, you want to hurry up, there are a lot of people to see. That's all the price can be, you've seen a lot, there's no cheaper, it's going to go up soon. ”

"Why did you remember to sell this house, are you married?"

The question asked by the man was a bit rambling, and Tao Ye was a little annoyed by the question.

"This has nothing to do with your buying a house, you have also seen the house, I still have something to do, I'm sorry."

Tao Ye unceremoniously wanted to send off the guest, and the couple was a little flustered.

The woman said to the intermediary, "Then it's decided." ”

The intermediary gave a thumbs up to the woman, "Sister is really discerning, then you can go to the company with me to go through the formalities, and pay a deposit first." ”

Tao Ye suddenly said to the intermediary: "Hey, wait, why don't you ask me." ”

"Ah, Brother Tao, what's wrong?"

"I can't go through the formalities now, I have to wait for a while, I still have to use this room."

"Gee, that can't wait." The woman raised her voice and shouted, "We bought this house, and we came to the school district here, and the child is about to be promoted to junior high school." ”

"Brother, what's wrong, didn't you say you could do it at any time?" The intermediary looked at Tao Ye with pleading eyes.

"It's a little bit different now."

The intermediary pulled Tao Ye to the balcony door and whispered: "Brother, I have already helped you talk about the highest price, haven't you heard, the state will soon regulate again, and the house price will most likely fall." ”

"It's not about money, it's not about money."

Tao Ye hated the way the intermediary talked to him, like a whole cat who was pulling his partner to deceive people. The couple vaguely heard the agent say that the house price was high, and they glanced at each other, and immediately felt that they had suffered a loss.

The woman took the opportunity to reproach the intermediary: "I can't do it again, how did you say this." ”

The intermediary is torn between seeing the cooked duck fly.

"Don't worry, let's discuss it again."

"This house price is still a bit high, the house is too old, and there is one thing we have to say ugly things ahead. . . ."

The man wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price again, and his speech became more and more unpleasant, and Tao Ye's heart had already begun to burst into flames.

The intermediary was still cautious and asked, "What's the matter, brother." ”

The man hesitated for a long time before he said, "Your room... Isn't it... An old man passed away in this room before?

"Fuck off!" Tao Ye suddenly became furious.

"How are you swearing!" Both husband and wife were frightened.

Tao Ye scolded loudly, "Don't talk nonsense, let me go!" ”

"Let's go, let's go"

The intermediary young man hurriedly calmed down, pushed the couple out, and took the two out of the door, Tao Ye angrily closed the door in the back, and he returned to the room, and his anger did not subside.

At this time, Tao Ye's mobile phone received a reminder of the bank information sent to him by the crew, and then the production director also sent the time and train number of the day after tomorrow. Tao Ye hadn't left Beijing for a while, and he was happy when he thought about joining the group. The main scene of the movie is in the mountains on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou, where the mountains and rivers are steep and magnificent, the scenery is strange, and the food is tempting.

Although the life of the crew is hard, he can always encounter something interesting and interesting, and a large group of people are together, lively and unrestrained and free all day long, which is exactly the life he likes, and can satisfy his yearning for unknown new things, which is one of the reasons why he likes photography.

。。。

Tomorrow is the New Year, today is the last day of the year, Tao Ye feels that he actually has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, before the arrival of the New Year, he must "dust the house", commonly known as cleaning, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable as if he has not taken a bath for a few days. But the room has been cleaned and sorted out by Xiaoting very clean, there is no work to do, Xiaoting's cleanliness standard is several notches higher than herself, all she can do is wash her clothes, clean up her personal hygiene, and pack up her bags to go to the crew. Although he didn't leave until the day after tomorrow, he didn't want to put it off until tomorrow, tomorrow was the first day of the new year, and he wanted to be clean and refreshing in the first second of tomorrow.

Doing housework is a typical "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", the more work is done, the more and more the clothes are washed, and most of the day passes unconsciously, and the sky is going to be dark. Tao Ye had been hungry for a long time, so he soaked noodles, instant noodles with beer from Lao Gan Ma, a mouthful of noodles and a sip of wine, and ate very fragrantly. was eating, the mobile phone rang, Tao Ye took a look, the call was a landline number, and the area code showed the city where Xiaoting's house was located, Tao Ye quickly picked it up.

Xiaoting lowered her voice on the phone and said, "Hey, it's me, what are you doing?" ”

"No, at home, why are you sneaking around."

"Alas, I lost my phone and can only call from my landline at home, for fear that they will hear."

"Ah, I lost my phone, where did I lose it?"

"I don't know, maybe someone stole it when I went out, it's so decaying, my mother said it was a disaster."

"Don't contact blindly, your mother doesn't understand you, in fact, you want to change your phone. Hey, why am I talking so sneakily, and I'm not afraid of being heard. ”

Tao Ye suddenly found that he unconsciously lowered his voice, and Xiao Ting was also amused.

Xiaoting asked, "Where are you going to play on New Year's Eve?" ”

"Don't go anywhere, pack up at home, do laundry, sleep."

"It's really fake, you can be so honest! I won't be able to call you for a while, my aunt has come to my house and wants to stay in my room at night. ”

"I won't be able to send WeChat at the New Year's Eve meeting." Tao Ye said regretfully.

"yes, how annoying."

Xiaoting understood what Tao Ye meant, and she felt so too, she couldn't say a happy new year to each other as soon as possible, and it was undoubtedly a pity for lovers to be absent at such a major moment.

Xiaoting asked again: "You leave the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

"Yes, trains."

Then I'll call you again tomorrow, hang up, and call me for dinner. ”

Xiaoting hung up the phone in a hurry.

At the beginning of the news broadcast, Tao Ye's clothes were finally washed, he was drying clothes on the balcony, and WeChat came in on his mobile phone. After drying the clothes and returning to the room, Tao Ye picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat group of the crew, which was a booking message sent by the life producer, and the boarding date displayed in the message was January 1, that is, tomorrow. Tao Ye scolded "" and hurriedly called Wen Hao.

"What's the situation, didn't you say the ticket for No. 2, how can you change it to tomorrow?"

"There's no way, the director said that the ticket is not easy to buy, and there is no No. 2."

"The boss is too ruthless, and he won't let people celebrate New Year's Day." Tao Ye said half-jokingly, "My clothes have just been washed and dried, and I won't be able to dry them tomorrow." ”

"How did you become a mother-in-law, buy new clothes before they dry."

"Damn, you're talking very imposingly now, who's next to you."

"Nobody, it's loading. Other departments are even harder, the lighting equipment has gone first this afternoon, and the costumes and props will set off after loading the car for a while, and it is estimated that the New Year's Eve will still be on the road. ”

In the parking lot of the hotel, several field workers are carrying props to the van, Lao Pan and Jiezi of the art group are counting one in the car and one under the car, Juzi and the assistant of the service team are carrying the sorting boxes to the Iveco van, Wen Hao is watching next to the car while talking to Tao Ye.

"Awesome, you're moving fast enough, when are you leaving?"

"I'm on the plane early tomorrow morning, and the main creators and directors of various departments will fly with me, and I will review the scene first."

"Okay, look at what excites you, you can finally make a big difference." Tao Ye could feel his excitement in Wen Hao's tone.

"Yes, I don't think so. I mean, if you're alone in an empty room and no one to accompany you, it's better to get to the group early and have a lively time with everyone. ”

"Okay! See you in Sichuan, and you'll have a safe journey tomorrow. ”

Tao Ye hung up the phone, hurriedly went to the balcony to pick out a few freshly dried clothes, and took them into the room to spread them on the heating. Wen Hao's excitement infected him even more, and he couldn't hold it back and wanted to set off quickly.

。。。

The time came to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the bell of Beijing Railway Station played the familiar movement of "Dongfang Hong", and the new year arrived.

Tao Ye stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette, looking out the window, and the cheers of Happy New Year could be heard in the brightly lit night.

The room was dark, Xiaoting hadn't slept yet, her eyes were open, and the aunt lying next to her was sleeping soundly. Xiao Ting held an alarm watch in her hand, Xiao Ting held the alarm watch in front of her in the dark, trying to see the time on the alarm watch, the dial had a faint fluorescence, and the watch hand had just passed 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiao Ting said softly "Happy New Year", and a happy smile appeared on her face.

。。。

In the bustling square in front of Beijing West Railway Station, Tao Ye walked out of the exit of the subway station, carrying a camera bag on his shoulder and a large suitcase in his hand, and walked into the station building.

A taxi stopped downstairs at Tao Ye's house, the door opened, and Xiaoting actually stepped out of the car.
