Time jumped back to ten minutes ago, when Wen Liang had just answered the unknown phone call.

"Hey, is it Wen?"

On the other end of the phone, an unfamiliar middle-aged male voice came.

"It's me, you're it?"

"Hello Xiaowen, I'm Mr. He's driver, when will I pick you up today?"

Hearing the naturalness and eagerness revealed in the other party's words, she was warm and cold, and analyzing the meaning of the words in her mind, she asked tentatively:

"Yes...... Is there a family banquet arranged by Mr. He? ”

The other party smiled: "Yes, Mr. He told you before, right?" And didn't the natural mother see you yesterday, she said that you have time, and then Mr. He gave me your phone number and asked me to contact you directly today, don't let the natural know, give him a surprise. ”

Warm and cool, I was stunned, yesterday? Yesterday, I flew to the capital, and I didn't see any He Tianran's mother.

She cautiously said, "I...... I know about the family feast, but ...... But I haven't seen my aunt, I came to the capital yesterday. ”

There was an "ah" on the phone, obviously puzzled, is the person these two people to pick up?

"Xiao Wen, you...... You're Koga's girlfriend, right? ”

"It's ...... me"

Inside and outside the phone, the two of them were silent for a while, Wen Liang's heartstrings tightened suddenly, she was looking forward to this meeting with He Tianran's family, but it was not a good time at the moment, now that the crew has started up, ordinary crews can still take a leave, but the Winter Olympics project is very meaningful, if the other party wants to meet within these two days, then Wen Liang can only regret and decline, although it is inappropriate to choose another day, but the reason is also reasonable.

It's just that the situation seems to be more complicated than I think now, and when I think of the photos Sheng Qidong sent to me, Wen Liang's heart is beating even more, and I can't say anything for a while.

As He Panshan's driver for many years, through a few conversations, he quickly sorted out some relationships, and he still smiled on the phone:

"Okay, when will you come back from the capital, Xiao Wen? I will convey it to Mr. He later. ”

“…… I...... I'm about two days later. ”

"Well, okay, let's do this first, Xiao Wen, you get busy first."

"Good...... Thank you. ”

Hung up the phone, Wen Liang only felt that his eyes were full of stars, who else was He Tianran's girlfriend besides himself? Who was his mother seeing yesterday? Why did he go to see Cao Aiqing? Will he take Cao Aiqing to meet his parents tonight?

The answers to all the questions seem to be self-evident.

Thinking of this, Wen Liang's body trembled slightly, and after Zhangjiakou entered autumn, it was connected to a few snowfalls, which caused the temperature to plummet, and today's minimum temperature was only minus one degree, and the girl's mouth was white and she stood in place at a loss.

After a few minutes, she shook her head and put some of her thoughts away, she believed He Tianran, she knew that she shouldn't think about it until she got an accurate answer from the other party.

So, she dialed He Tianran's phone, and there were a few beeps in the receiver, and soon the other end was connected.

"Hey, Ah Liang."

He Tianran's deep voice came, which made Wen Liang's heart have mixed feelings, because she now knew that this tone of her boyfriend would usually only appear when pretending.

"Natural ......"

"What's wrong?"

“……”

The questions that worried Wen Liang in the last second were stagnant in this second, what should I say?

Are you with Cao Aiqing now?

This is actually very easy to verify, as long as you send the photos taken by Sheng Qidong and ask your boyfriend to explain clearly, or now directly turn it into a video chat, everything can be revealed, but what's the use?

What should I do next?

Angrily asked, why did you go to see Cao Aiqing behind your back?

Or why don't you tell yourself about the family gathering today?

In fact, she can think clearly about these Wen Liang, although she repeatedly wants He Tianran not to provoke Cao Aiqing again, but if the boy really ignores the sins he committed before and treats him indifferently from now on, then he is really not He Tianran.

As for the family dinner, this is originally his family affair, although he wants to help him reconcile with his family, but it has to be willing by others, right?

He is so active, but it is difficult to ride a tiger, and now he doesn't tell himself, doesn't it mean that he has some concerns?

If this happens every time I leave him, what can I do in the future?

If Sheng Qidong hadn't happened to bump into him and Cao Aiqing together, he wouldn't even know about it.

"Nothing...... It is...... I miss you...... You didn't reply to me when I sent you a WeChat message just now, so I called and asked what you were doing......"

Wen Liang asked in a normal tone as much as possible.

"Really? Ah, there was something just now, I haven't looked at my phone, and now it'...... Now I'm eating out, how is it, is the food of your crew good? Did the shoot go well? ”

"It's going well, I just finished filming, and I haven't eaten yet...... I guess I'll wait a while......"

"Oh, so are you still shooting in the afternoon? Is it cold over there, do you have enough clothes? ”

“……”

He Tianran asked softly, and he couldn't find any right or wrong in the words.

Wen Liang actually wanted He Tianran to confess to her directly, saying that he was eating with his ex-girlfriend now, not like now, the bland conversation was like a rusty blunt knife, with indescribable frustration and pain, and kept tugging in his heart little by little.

The port city and the capital are separated by 2,200 kilometers, if Wen Liang is by He Tianran's side, even if she is in the port city, she can come up with many ways to solve the current difficulties, but ...... Now that she is thousands of miles away, she can't do anything but one thing......

The mountains in the distance are covered with snow, the ice and snow on the ground have not yet melted, the busy set is full of people, stepping on rows of foot pits on the ground, and not far away, several helpers of the lighting team gathered together to smoke a few puffs of cigarettes.

In the smoke, their eyes looked at the young and beautiful actress standing outside the nanny's car from time to time, making phone calls, and then they didn't know what to say, and immediately laughed again.

Wen Liang walked a little farther alone, out of their sight, she leaned her back against the wall, and finally said:

“…… Naturally, I love you. ”

She whispered into the phone, and the girl turned her anxiety and love at this time into such a simple five words, as if she wanted to pass on all her thoughts to her lover thousands of miles away through those radio wave signals that were as invisible as love.

That's the only thing she can do now.

It's just that He Tianran didn't seem to notice anything wrong, he laughed a few times, and laughter came over the phone:

"Haha, what's wrong with you, why did you just leave for a day, and suddenly become so hypocritical? It's not like you. ”

"I love you...... Do you love me? Natural ......"

“…… While...... Absolutely! ”

Wen Liang said it again, and He Tianran also gave a positive answer, but he didn't say that he loved himself.

Is it impossible to say it in front of Cao Aiqing?

Are you afraid that when you say the word "love", it will embarrass the other girl in front of you?

Hanging up the phone, a chill swept over me, and the cool back slid down the clinging wall.

The girl who thought she had found love squatted in place, her arms were wrapped, she had indeed asked the most important question she should ask, but in her eyes at this time, there was only helplessness and confusion.

……

……

"Click!"

At half past nine o'clock in the evening, in a large green screen studio somewhere in the suburbs of Beijing, with the director's roar, the actors who were still smiling just now died down in an instant, not only them, but also the staff present showed exhaustion in their expressions.

Today's shooting was not particularly smooth, because of the transition and the weather, so some shots had to be readjusted, and the actors were not very good, and the long shot of a group portrait was shot back and forth many times, delayed for nearly half an hour.

"Wen Liang, come over for a moment."

Outside the studio, Director Chen stood up from the director's chair and shouted, and Wen Liang walked over quickly when he heard the sound.

"Director......

"Let's take a picture and play it back just now."

Watching the little girl approach, Director Chen was holding back the fire in his heart and it was not easy to vent, this is not just for Wen Liang alone, she has an interaction with Sui Chulang in the camera, it is very simple, that is, the athletes meet each other and smile and say hello, because this shot will make a creative transition in the later stage, and it will definitely be used in the film, so it is very important.

At first, it was Sui Chulang's performance that was a little embarrassing, but he quickly adjusted back, and gradually, the director found that the cool state was not right.

In fact, since noon, the girl has obviously been out of state, but fortunately, those shots don't need to be emotional, and it's just over two or three more shots, but the one taken now is different......

"Look at Wen Liang, why are you laughing so weird? You're not ugly, you're beautiful, it's okay for you to let go of your smile, you don't have any baggage, okay? ”

The director pointed to the material just shot, and in the monitor, his eyes were warm and low, so the smile he showed at the moment was indeed reluctant, compared to the one in the morning, it was a world of difference, not like an athlete who was actively preparing for the competition and maintaining a good condition, but like a defeated general who was timid before the race.

Wen Liang looked at his performance expressionlessly, the actor's line of work is like this, you need to maintain your emotions or mobilize your emotions at any time, in case of special circumstances, you are the protagonist of the wedding in the morning, with a happy face, and in the afternoon it is a funeral scene, and you need to cry darkly.

Of course, if you want to adjust the state for some time, it's just that it's not a special situation now, and the films like promotional videos and advertisements are paid by the number of days, and now dozens of people in the entire studio are waiting for you to adjust the state alone, just smile happily and pass the shot, is it difficult?

"I'm sorry director, I see."

Wen Liang bowed and admitted his mistake, and Li Lan on the side smiled and played a round scene: "That makeup teacher, take a few minutes to make up the makeup for the actors, and everyone will rest for five minutes." ”

Several makeup artists on call repaired the looks of the actors in front of the camera, Li Lan took the opportunity to pull Wen Liang aside, and took advantage of the gap in makeup to touch-up, and said:

"Xiao Wen, if you really can't laugh, just think of something pleasant."

Wen Liang nodded and said in a low voice: "Sister Lan, I know, it's my fault that delayed everyone's time." ”

Li Lan thought that it was the first time that the little girl was on the camera after many years, and it was still such a major promotional video, so she was inevitably nervous, and she comforted her:

"The director has such a temper, after all, he is responsible for the entire crew, and sometimes he speaks heavily, you must not take it to heart, who said that you laugh weirdly, you are good-looking."

It's okay not to say this, but when I say it, I really poke the cold tears.

Thinking of something pleasant?

This afternoon, Sheng Qidong called himself, saying that after He Tianran and Cao Aiqing finished eating, they left happily hand in hand, this best friend was fierce and very angry, but due to the unknown situation, Wen Liang didn't tell her anything, so she and Li Wang didn't dare to act rashly.

It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the family banquet should be over, right?

Or, now He Tianran and Cao Aiqing are talking with He Panshan and Uncle He, and they are happily chatting about the past of the two of them?

Wen Liang hurriedly diverted her thoughts, not daring to think about it again, the more she thought about this, the more sad she became, and she kept telling herself repeatedly in her heart that she would laugh, laugh, laugh when she was going to shoot.

"I understand Sister Lan, I'm fine!"

Wen Liang squeezed out a smile.

Li Lan looked at the girl and saw that there must be something in her heart, but the other party didn't say it, and she couldn't comfort herself, so she could only take out a mobile phone and say:

"I heard the phone in your bag vibrating just now, I brought it to you, maybe it's urgent, do you want to see if you want to reply?"

Wen Liang took a look, and his heart trembled, only to see that there were thirty-five missed calls from above, all of which were called one after another by He Tianran in the past half hour.

Her fingers hesitated, considering whether to go back to one when the thirty-sixth call came just in time!

The girl pressed it directly, but immediately another one came, and she had no choice but to connect and put the phone close to her ear.

“…… Feed? ”

"Wow, you finally answered the phone, are you done shooting? Where is your hotel, I'm in the capital! ”

On the phone, her boyfriend said this cheerfully and heartily.

Wen Liang's mind was blank for a moment, and her ears "buzzed", the girl only felt numb, her heart beat rapidly, and the lowness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a little flickering light, and there was clearly no music in her ears, but at this moment, it was as if she heard a passionate drum beat.

Ten minutes later.

"Click!"

All the actors looked at the director, not knowing why.

"What's that...... Xiao Wen, this time is very good...... Ahem, it's just that you're smiling a little more restrained, we're not making some love at first sight romance movie, don't be so ...... Cough...... And Sui Chulang, you should give the reaction, others greet you, where are you doing! Fascinated by it, right? Come on, keep one more, good, keep it up. ”

Everyone laughed, it seems that today's shooting is nearing the end.

……

……

Time back to noon.

Cao Aiqing watched He Tianran hang up the phone, she frowned, although she said that she wanted to see how He Tianran lied to the person she loved, but when all this really happened in front of her, she had a little unspeakable disgust and rejection for it.

"Is this the love you want to redeem even if you travel through time and space?"

Cao Aiqing's words were asking He Tianran, but at the same time, he was also asking himself.

The boy did not answer the question directly, but continued what she had just said, and sighed:

"Ai Qing, I found that all people who are a little older, or smart, precocious, and experienced people, like to watch the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world coldly, and then put their own mistakes on the body of others, in order to prove that the development of some things in life is really traceable, if it is in, it is the insight into fate, if not, it is a stupid maverick, which includes my father, mother, and also includes the former me and the current you."

"He Tianran, are you laughing at yourself, or are you boasting? Are you any different now? ”

Cao Aiqing asked in a cold voice, and He Tianran shook his head:

"I'm no different, I'm just a mortal, an ordinary person, if you really want to say anything lucky, it may be more than others, go one more way, in this period of time that can allow immaturity, there is a chance to be stupid again, we have all experienced so much, we should know how to be simple, try not to be numb, can be naïve, don't keep thinking about the truth of maturity."

After listening to his speech, Cao Aiqing couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do?" ”

He Tianran smiled, very happy, he should have said:

"Thirty-one-year-old He Tianran will choose to hide everything, if he goes home with you at night, he sees what his parents are going to say, and how to coax his girlfriend to come back, the belly manuscript in his heart has already been knocked; And you ask what the eighteen-year-old He Tianran in front of you wants to do? Of course he just wanted to do what he should have done when he was eighteen! Ai Qing, can you bring a message to my mother? ”

"What?"

He Tianran stood up, clasped his five fingers, slammed it on the table, and said loudly:

"Tell her, it's not that she wants to see me, I have to see her, and don't point fingers at my life, why have you gone all these years? I'm not a pawn that she can regain her dignity in front of He Panshan, just the matter of the two of them, how adult, solve it on your own, pull me, pull you guys, what's the matter? She doesn't want to go back to this home, anyway, I don't want to go back, we are a family of three, and if we want to meet, we will see each other. ”

The corners of Cao Aiqing's mouth hooked, "There are too many words to remember." ”

He Tianran was not embarrassed, and said freely: "That's simple, anyway, I can't see it today, so you can reply with four words - something, wait." ”

Cao Aiqing looked sideways and said, "When you talked to Wen Liang on the phone just now, you weren't so decisive, what's the difference between that and concealment?" ”

"It's not called concealment, it's called surprise, tsk, you're really a girl...... Born timid, he doesn't understand romance yet. ”

"What did you say?" Cao Aiqing's face was gloomy.

He Tianran didn't dare to continue to pick up the stubble, he grinned and said, "Aren't you sorry that Wen Liang is not there, and the kind of Shura field you expected has been shattered?" Okay, I'll fulfill your wish now, I'll fly to the capital this afternoon, invite her back to you, and I'll watch you two fight another day to see what you can do. ”

Cao Aiqing was stunned, she really didn't expect that He Tianran could still have this kind of mentality.

"Heh, that's what you said, like to hear it?"

"It's not."

He Tianran, who was still in his prime, was suddenly silent for a moment, and then he looked at Cao Aiqing squarely and said seriously:

"Ai Qing, I still have the same attitude just now, I don't want to see such a scene happen, but what I want to do now is to pick up, find, and make up for the dignity you lost in love little by little......"

He Tianran walked to the other table of men and women after leaving such a sentence, he said a few words to the two, and then turned his head to look at Cao Aiqing deeply, the girl deliberately did not look directly at his gaze, but in the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of his back walking away.

Once upon a time, I had also witnessed He Tianran's image today.

In her heart, a gentle voice sounded-

"He was on the playground that day, and he also came to himself, and he didn't change."

It's just that at this moment, the back is left in vain.

……

……

10:42 p.m.

Sitting on the return bus, Wen Liang has never been so eager and eager.

She kept confirming with He Tianran in her mobile phone again and again, did the other party really come to the capital, and the reply she got was also her boyfriend's affirmation again and again, it was not enough to send text, and she sent voices, photos, and positioning, until they shared each other's locations like last time, which made the girl finally confirm that he was really here, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

In the girl's heart, another warm current flowed through her body.

Soon after, the bus arrived at the door of the hotel, and as soon as she stopped and opened the door, Wen Liang rushed down as soon as possible, and she hurriedly looked left and right, looking for the familiar figure.

"Hey, here."

Behind the girl, there sounded the voice that made her worry all day today, and she suffered from gains and losses.

She turned her head slowly, and finally saw him with a tired face after traveling thousands of miles.

Subsequently, the grievances and uneasiness of the cool day finally found a cathartic valve, once twisted, her eyes finally couldn't hold back the tears, she rushed to it, regardless of the surprised eyes of the crew's peers, in the cold wind, a pair of men and women hugged each other tightly, their love was wanton and public, turning into a romance itself.

"Uh......h I won't film anymore, if you don't behave as soon as I film, you're going to have an accident......"

Wen Liang in his arms was too excited, talking nonsense, He Tianran couldn't laugh, he patted Wen Liang's head and said, "Hahahaha, what are you talking about, what are you doing if you don't film, I'm still waiting for you to support me." ”

"I said I missed you, and you pretended not to see it, I said I loved you, and you didn't respond properly, I hung up the phone and didn't know what to do......"

Wen Liang raised her head, although her mouth was crying, she still asked stubbornly on her face, it seemed that she was really angry with the phone call at noon.

"I love you......" He Tianran said softly, probably being stared at by the people who got off the car from the crew, and everyone stopped to watch the excitement, causing him to be a little embarrassed, but at this moment, he still stubbornly said: "This kind of thing has to be said in person to be sincere, right?" ”

Wen Liangfang's heart was overjoyed, and just when she was about to say something, Director Chen on the side suddenly spoke, dispersing the crowd of onlookers.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, young and angry, can you compare with others? Someone else hugs, what are you hugging? Hurry up and go back and grab the quilt, start work at six o'clock tomorrow, don't delay. ”

The crowd dispersed, and then Wen Liang realized that He Tianran, who was wearing a single coat, was trembling slightly.

I saw him smile bitterly and said:

"Let's go in quickly, it's really cold here, I'm in too much of a hurry, I didn't bring thick clothes......"

Wen Liang sniffed a few times, cried and laughed and plunged into He Tianran's arms again, and shouted with his little face rubbing the urn and shouting:

"Well deserved! I'm going to freeze you, freeze you! ”
