Chapter 92: Night for Day (5)
What does it mean for Cao Aiqing to see Wen Liang?
Just like they don't know where their lives will go now, maybe for He Tianran at this moment, this may just be a slightly embarrassing phone call.
Before this, He Tianran had already handled what he should say and do well, for Wen Liang, he did not have any guilt and panic, the only thing that made the two of them restrained may be that he called the wrong person.
Accidental?
It doesn't seem to be, whether it's Cao Aiqing's return to China, or the two girls will meet, although the process is somewhat unexpected, but the result was clear a long time ago, so there is nothing worth panicking about at the moment.
Tell Wen Liang whether to tell Wen Liang Cao Aiqing to return to China, this is He Tianran's own business, just as Cao Aiqing wants to go to Shanghai first, Wen Liang wants to temporarily stop pursuing himself before seeing the other party, these things are all personal wishes, everyone is an adult, something happens, there is no need to explain anything, just do it according to the original wishes.
And as He Tianran expected, Wen Liang's side adjusted quickly, and the interview situation and Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman's greetings came from the phone, and then she turned on the outlet, and He Tianran interacted with everyone on the phone familiarly, promoting his own film.
Mo Yo chatted for seven or eight minutes, and the content of the telephone interview ended, but the editor-in-chief on the other end seemed to want to say something to Bai Wenyu, so he didn't rush to hang up, handed over the mobile phone to his mother, and He Tianran just listened to their chat and eat.
After a while, after hanging up the phone, Bai Wenyu returned the phone to his son and teased:
"Naturally, it looks like you do have a 'clear conscience'."
He Tianran rummaged through the dishes on the plate, and suddenly felt a little tasteless, he simply put down his chopsticks and said:
"Mom, do you want something to happen around me with a 'guilty conscience'?"
Bai Wenyu shook her head, "I just want to care about my son's love life, after all, you are almost 26 this year." ”
"Dad thinks I might get married later, and I think so."
"Having a love life doesn't necessarily mean getting married."
He Tianran spread his hands, "Maybe it's just that I combined these two things, and I don't think there's anything wrong." ”
Bai Wenyu smiled slightly, "I didn't expect my son to be quite innocent, this is much more promising than your father, who taught you?" Ai Qing? ”
"No, it's you."
“……”
Innocent?
He Tianran seems to have heard similar words from Wen Liang's mouth, but he doesn't think this is a compliment, because in today's society, this word has more or less a joking color, and this background color on He Tianran's body is all thanks to his parents' bad marriage, and he doesn't want to follow in this footsteps.
This ironic answer made Bai Wenyu smile bitterly in silence, like a kind of self-deprecation.
"What if the person you marry is Ai Qing? Do you also think you're going to get married later? ”
He Tianran hesitated for a moment, shook his head, slowly leaned back in the chair, tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:
She ...... The exception, or in my case, she just had to say 'I do'. ”
Bai Wenyu looked at this son with relief in his eyes, and said with emotion:
"Mom thought you'd prefer someone to be there for you."
He Tianran was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Because your dad is such a man."
“……”
Bai Wenyu also put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at the bustling night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked into the distance, and at the same time looked at some memories of the past......
He ...... Have you ever told you to cherish more people who can participate in your life and can be there for you? ”
“…… Said. ”
"Heh......"
Bai Wenyu let out a sneer, her voice was very soft, but it was full of disdain and disdain, she turned her head and looked at her son.
"What do you think?"
26-year-old He Tianran's emotional outlook on his parents, no longer like when he was a child, crying and shouting, unable to act, he already has a set of his own concept of looking at the world, although there are some places he is still groping, but it does not mean that he will choose to remain silent at this moment.
"What do you want me to say? On your side, or on Daddy's side? To love someone is to set her free, just like Mom you are pursuing? Or is it that feelings should take on a responsibility, just like Dad to Aunt Tao?
I may be the continuation of your life, but it should not be the reference system of your feelings, let alone your answer, I have my own life, Ai Qing is the same, Wen Liang is the same, we are all pursuing our own answers, this is what we should do in our lifetime......
Blaming the next generation of the next generation of your own life problems is evasion...... Mom. ”
……
……
By the end of the interview, it was already 9 p.m.
During the work, Wen Liang did not dwell too much on Cao Aiqing's identity, and the latter also concentrated on completing his work.
There is nothing to be shocked, let alone to reveal the identity, the love rival is very red when they meet, these are all secondary in front of work and outsiders.
The order of life is greater than everything in the face of reality.
Until after the filming was completed, a group of people got into the nanny car, passed through the Huangpu River on the way, and arrived at the Bund, Cao Aiqing said that she wanted to get out of the car to take a look, and followed her with Wen Liang tacitly, Li Lan knew that the two girls needed some personal time, but fortunately, the hotel they booked today was nearby, so they did not object, and let them get off the car.
On the side of the Huangpu River, the lanterns are on at the beginning, and the ten miles of foreign fields are full of tourists.
In front of them is the neon river, behind them is Wanguo Street, and the evening breeze is gentle, ruffling the hair of the two girls.
Cao Aiqing brushed her broken hair behind her ears and said softly:
"It's still the Bund in Port City, which is more intimate."
"I feel the same way." Wen Liang nodded and asked, "Haven't you been to Shanghai before?" ”
"I came to the show a few times when I was in high school and college, but that was four or five years ago......
"With He Tianran?"
"The one in college, yes, what about you? Are you familiar with Shanghai? ”
Wen Liang turned around, leaned his back against the fence, leaned his hands from side to side at will, and replied:
"I've been here many times because of my work, but I've always been purposeful to go from point A to point B, and then from point B to point C.
After speaking, Wen Liang suddenly smiled and continued to the girl next to him:
"Kind of like my impression of you?"
"Impressions of me?"
Wen Liang nodded:
"But no, you said that we were high school classmates, and you were so important to He Tianran, I should have recognized you at first sight, but it wasn't until your person and name were matched that I had a clear image in my mind, and even if I wanted to find you, we also had a WeChat group in high school, do you still have it?"
"Yes, but it's been a long, long time since that group spoke, and occasionally there will be a message or two, but it's either a New Year's greeting or a ......"
"Either someone is married, send a message to save some heads."
With that, the two girls looked at each other and smiled.
Wen Liang asked, "When was the last time we met?" ”
Cao Aiqing also followed her example and turned around, looking at the fence with her back and carrying her canvas bag in both hands.
"It should be at the orientation party in my junior year of high school, I was very impressed, because you sang very well, and you didn't seem to come to school again after that, and I can't remember."
"Really? I can't even remember what I was singing......"
"Maybe it's just an ordinary show for you."
What is Wen Liang singing?
Cao Aiqing remembered that she believed that Wen Liang should also remember, but the moral of that song was not very good, especially the relationship between her and He Tianran at the moment, so she pretended to forget......
"So you and He Tianran have been ...... since then?"
"Almost, because some ...... Coincidentally, we were friends from that point on. ”
Wen Liang wondered:
"He Tianran should have been very homely at the time, right? It's completely different from what you do now, how could you want to suddenly be friends with him? Could it be that because you are a class leader, the task assigned to you by the teacher? ”
Cao Aiqing smiled and said nothing, Wen Liang sighed when he saw her like this.
She turned again, folded her hands on the railing, and leaned down, her chin resting on it.
"I feel like I'm missing out on a lot......"
"Me too......"
Wen Liang looked sideways at her:
"And what are you coming back now? Compensate? ”
Cao Aiqing shook his head slightly, "We don't owe each other anything, so this is not any compensation, to be more precise, it is more like a ...... Let it be. ”
"But He Tianran once said...... It looks like you're going to have to work abroad for a few more years before you come back. ”
“…… You want me to come back later? ”
Although Wen Liang did not answer directly, he looked directly at Cao Aiqing and threw out a more direct answer:
“…… I love Nature, you know? ”
The other party's strength and straightforwardness didn't seem to put too much pressure on Cao Aiqing, she just smiled, as if this was the best answer to the question just now, and her response was naturally concise and to the point:
"So, I'll be in front of you right now."
There was no extra saber rattling, Wen Liang heard the words, and even a trace of pride flashed in his eyes:
"It seems that I'm doing a good job as a rival in love, and people like you have a sense of crisis, but I don't understand, why don't you go back to see He Tianran first, but come to see me first? Spying on the enemy? ”
Cao Aiqing thought for a moment, and then said sincerely:
"Because...... To tell you the truth, from the very beginning of your acquaintance, he naturally mentioned you to me, and his attitude was very interesting...... From the initial with a little disgust and confusion, to the gradual acceptance later, and even to help you tide over the difficulties, and now to the current support of you, planning your development, he described you as a girl who has been covered by the torrent of sand and gravel in the entertainment industry, and every time he mentions you to me, he is proud of his vision.
This makes me curious, prompting me to come and see with my own eyes what kind of girl you are to make him praise like this, you say that I am jealous, or have other thoughts, I don't deny these, but I am thinking, we are the first side, or don't have a hostile eye because of the natural relationship, this will make us not see each other really, and it is not my intention. ”
In the oncoming evening breeze, on the riverside where the moonlight and neon are intertwined, the two girls are hearty and quiet, the skirts of the girls are slightly rippling, and the surrounding cars, human voices, footsteps, and all kinds of lively sounds reflect the faces of the two, as if they are quieter a lot, and in the end, everything is attributed to the murmuring and eternity in the reflection of the river.
Their beauty has its own merits.
And the most fortunate thing is that they all have smiles on their faces.
Wen Liang suddenly felt that He Tianran fell in love with Cao Aiqing, and he really could understand that he had waited for her to not give up for so many years......
A trace of sorrow finally appeared on the bright girl's face, and she murmured:
"You...... Don't you mind if I like He Tianran? ”
"I said, if I didn't mind, I wouldn't be here, but more than this, I want to know what kind of person you are to make him take it so seriously......"
"Ai Qing, you are so generous, so generous that I am a little jealous......"
Wen Liang looked at the railing, was silent for a long time, and slowly said with a smile:
"And me? What kind of person am I?
I am the opposite of you, this girl is stubborn, selfish, straightforward, stubborn, rather than seek from the straight.
My mom said that I had a personality like my dad, my dad used to be a soldier, he was upright, and he raised me as a boy when he was a child, but I think some of the things I identified, once I became paranoid, I was more like my mom.
He is a person I finally met, I really want to love, I know that people's hearts are especially cloudy and sunny, and I agree that feelings are half fighting and half gambling, but I am willing to gamble, willing to fight, in my father's words, lose and lose beautifully.
I know that when He Tianran, who is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and waiting for you to come back, my feelings for him will face a huge challenge, even if he never thinks that we will be together, even if the weeds at the foot of the mountain have always admired the snow lotus on the top of the mountain, and the flowers of the city are destined to be not fellow travelers, but I just want to delay the end of the time, I just have to see how far he and I can go......
Ai Qing, I may only tell you these words today, I hope it will not give us today's short friendship to draw an unsatisfactory end. ”
For these sincere and somewhat burning words, Cao Aiqing suddenly understood why He Tianran liked it so much......
At this moment, the same feeling arose in the hearts of the two girls, which was a kind of contradiction and sadness, and neither of them would give up, but everyone could appreciate and understand each other.
Originally, Cao Aiqing still had a lot to say, but in the end, when the words came to his lips, they all turned into a calm smile on his face, and he turned into a soft sentence:
“…… It doesn't matter, people just live for a few moments, it's worth it. ”
