13 whiskey
"White April Fool's Day" has been a success for several performances, and the studio has been making a lot of money lately.
During this period, Chen Li made friends with several leaders in the school. Most of them are old cadres who are literature and art lovers, and they appreciate Chen Li's talent in conversation, plus the juniors in the old cadres' families also go to watch stage plays, and Chen Li's tickets are always half sold and half given away. I got to know a lot of people from back and forth.
So Su Yi was originally resting on Sunday, but was forcibly dragged to a party by Chen Li. said that he would take her to see the world. said that you can't underestimate this small party, there are huge opportunities hidden in it, and ordinary people are really not easy to squeeze into.
As for the fact that he was able to come in, it was because he borrowed the vine of a few old literary and artistic cadres.
"There are those who are engaged in education, and there are those who are engaged in publishing. There is also a mess of investment, and there are a lot of twists and turns in it. Seeing the entrance, Chen Li's chaotic cage said something in unison.
When he entered the door, he took out a card similar to an invitation, Su Yi glanced over and asked, "I don't have this, how can I get in?" ”
Chen Li raised his hand and knocked Su Yi's head with the invitation, "Silly, you follow me, and your identity is my female companion." ”
Su Yi stared at him wide-eyed: "......"
Chen Li ignored her and went inside.
Su Yi thought, why is this person like this? Shouldn't you ask for her consent in advance? How did he deserve it?
And the further she went, the more weak she became, because the meeting was too close to the medical university, in a private house behind the living quarters. As a result, Murphy's Law is honest and does not deceive, and he really met Zhou Yanshi.
Zhou Yanshi sat under the open hall of the courtyard, with a small half glass of freshly poured whiskey in his hand, and was playing chess with an old gentleman.
At the urging of the old gentleman, the chess piece was lost, and then the elder and the old man sitting opposite him smiled and said, "Yan Shi, you lost, but you can't concentrate." ”
"No, it's your old chess skills that have improved again." Zhou Yanshi smiled and picked up the small half glass of wine and handed it to his mouth, and his eyes fell directly on Su Yi.
To be precise, when Su Yi and Chen Li were just standing at the gate and hesitating, he saw someone.
Chen Li is too unreliable, and when he came in, he saw a leader he had dealt with before, so he hurriedly went over to talk to people.
Su Yi was brought in, and then left to fend for himself.
The whole banquet is not big, it is more like acquaintances talking together. But the small yard is tasteful and the place is spacious. The atmosphere of talking and laughing in twos and threes is very good, that is, except for Zhou Yanshi and Chen Li, the rest of Su Yi don't know anyone. And Su Yan didn't want Zhou Yanshi to notice him, so he took a cream cup next to him and found a secluded location with a balcony and a distant view.
It just so happened that Jiang Yi sent her a WeChat message, asking if she wanted to make an appointment for dinner together, saying that she would not make an appointment for the past two days, and she was afraid that there would not be many opportunities in the next month.
Su Yi hugged his mobile phone and put his arms on the railing to reply to the message: [What do you mean? 】
Jiang Yi: [I want to participate in a clinical genetic research project, which has just been approved, and the tutor in the school will take it with me, and I heard that it will be busy for a month. It is said that it may run the data until late at night, and it is a little inexplicable thrill and excitement when you think about it. 】
Su Yu: [......]
Jiang Yi: [Oh, by the way, the project leader is your husband [baring teeth/]]
"......" Su Yi's hand stopped at the input key and paused directly.
"Are you used to living in an apartment?"
Then a voice in his ears directly made Su Yi quickly extinguish the mobile phone chat screen.
Then he turned around, and the cream cup in his hand rubbed against the corner of Zhou Yanshi's clothes very ignorantly.
A white streak was drawn.
Su Yi frowned in annoyance, and said in his heart: Su Yi, what are you panicking about?
He was wearing a black blazer, and a white stain rubbed against it, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Brother Yanshi, are you here too?" Su Yi was sloppy with others, and knowingly asked, he took out a tissue from his bag to help him wipe it.
The position where Zhou Yan sat was directly opposite the entrance, and it was difficult for anyone who came in not to notice.
Zhou Yanshi took the tissue away directly from the person's hand, and his low voice was quite casual, "It's okay, I'll do it myself." ”
Su Yi's hand was empty, he shook the skin of the palm that had just been touched, and leaned against the half-fence behind him and could only watch the people wipe the stains off little by little. Of course, it is impossible to wipe it completely without leaving a trace, Su Yi went to rummage through the wipes in the bag again.
It didn't turn over.
And Zhou Yanshi had already thrown the tissue to the side of the trash can, as if he didn't care much.
Then he put his hand in one of his pants pocket, standing on Su Yu's side, the balcony is facing Jingsu Park, looking forward from the standing position, there is a lawn, and the fence around the lawn is planted with various varieties of flowers, colorful, and it is the best time to bloom.
Su Yan took a bite of the cream cup in his hand, and glanced at Zhou Yanshi beside him, Zhou Yanshi lowered his eyes and looked at her. Su Yan's expression was in a trance, so he pretended to be natural, and retracted his gaze without a trace.
In this case, it seems that it will be more difficult to find something to talk about. She didn't understand why Zhou Yanshi was playing chess with Mr. Ren just now, why did he suddenly appear here. Obviously, this position is quite hidden.
However, Zhou Yan's expression was very idle, looking into the distance, he didn't seem to feel bored and embarrassed because of the silence between the two.
About five or six minutes passed.
It was Zhou Yanshi who opened his mouth first, he took a sip of the wine in his right hand, didn't look at anyone, still looked at the flowers and plants in the park not far in front of him, tapped his fingers on the cup noodles, and repeated the question just now, "Are you used to living in an apartment?" ”
Hearing this, Su Yi first glanced at him, then retracted his gaze again and put it on the cream cup in his hand, and said, "Fortunately, it's quiet at night." ”
Environmentally, she likes it very much, and it is more suitable for her to conceive the script. Because the apartment is indeed quieter than at home, the old community of Chenfang Street where Su Yi and Shen Huiying live is very close to the busy road, and there are many vendors on the street in front of them who hold a night market at night. The hustle and bustle is usually difficult to stop until late at night. Su Yi usually closes the window at night, and he doesn't feel it when he gets used to it. Unless it's a very loud shouting outside.
And after moving to Zhou Yanshi's apartment, Su Yi really felt what real quiet it means at night. The kind of quiet without natural noise.
At most, I can only occasionally hear the doors of the surrounding residents in the building.
"I forgot to tell you that I have a cleaning aunt who will come over to clean up once a week." Zhou Yanzhi said and turned sideways in the direction where Su Yan was standing, the elbow of his right hand holding the wine glass was propped up on the fence, his jaw was still cold and hard, but a layer of moistness gradually appeared under his eyes, "So as the hostess, you don't need to do everything yourself, you have to give the cleaning aunt a chance, after all, I paid for it." ”
Zhou Yan's words seemed to be very casual, and after speaking, he withdrew his gaze and didn't look at anyone again, and took another sip of the wine in his hand.
Su Yan's ears were hot when he heard this.
She is indeed much more diligent than when she lived with Shen Huiying on Chenfang Street, because she enjoyed the convenience while not wanting to cause trouble to others.
"The person in charge of your studio who just came in with you?" Zhou Yanshi asked unhurriedly.
Su Yan swiped her fingers holding the cream cup, thinking that he had seen it when she first came in.
"Well," Su Yi responded, "His name is Chen Li, and he is in charge of all the usual things." But he's not the boss, our boss belongs to the kind of shopkeeper who just invests. In fact, he also interfered before, but I heard that he meddled once, and then he simply ignored it. Su Yi pursed his lips and laughed when he said this.
The two eyes are also bent, and the watery apricot eyes are slightly narrowed, shining, indescribably moving.
Zhou Yanshi's expression was loose, and he couldn't help but laugh, looking at people without obstruction, and asked, "Really?" ”
The smile on the corner of Su Yan's mouth has not yet fallen, and the straightforward gaze on Zhou Yan's mouth, the "yes" that has reached his mouth, stopped there vividly, and then his gaze avoided the direct gaze of the person, and the corners of his mouth that were smiling excessively were slowly flattened awkwardly, and his expression became reserved. In response, he licked his lips and heated his face.
Thinking about why he looked at himself like that, was she talking too much?
It seems to be a bit much, and it is the first time that Su Yi has spoken to Zhou Yanshi with such a sense of boundary. Speak ill of your boss.
I don't know if it's going to be annoying.
Zhou Yanshi took a deep breath, looked at Su Yan, who was silent and silent, cleared his throat and asked, "Do you know how to drive?" ”
Su Yi sighed and looked at him again.
Zhou Yanshi stared at the person, Su Yan's eyes were dark and clear, half of his cheeks were crimson, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "I drank wine." The implication was that he needed her to drive him.
Although the courtyard of the meeting is at the back of the school's living quarters, there is a wall that requires you to cross the road and make a circle to the main entrance of the medical university.
That's why most of the people who come here are driving.
"Yes, yes, but the technology may not be very good." Su Yi told the truth, after all, he stopped the car last time and scraped his car.
"It's okay, just drive back." As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, a voice came out of the house, shouting his name, as if he was looking for something. Zhou Yan picked up his feet and explained to Su Yan before leaving: "I'll call you when you leave, don't drink, don't run around." ”
Su Yi's gaze followed the man who turned around and walked in, and responded.
When Chen Li called, the cream cup in Su Yi's hand was about to bottom, Su Yi picked up the phone and fed her, Chen Li asked her where she ran away, why did she lose it?
Su Yi rolled her eyes and unconsciously pursed her mouth, how long has it been before her good leader found out that she had lost it.
"I'm here in the pool landscape, with Director Lu of Wenhua Performing Arts, come here." Chen Li's tone carried a bit of hatred for iron and steel.
Su Yi remembered that when she signed the contract for only two times, Chen Li asked her what her original intention was to do this business, and she said that it was because she liked and loved it.
Ask her if she has any goals in the past two years.
She said she wanted to win a prize.
But it is undeniable that as time goes by, there are still a few works of large and small that have received mediocre responses. Su Yan's love is gradually being worn out and hit. When there is no inspiration, anxiety and lack of confidence will often replace that love, and from time to time become the main theme.
Cao Bingyin was bent on jumping to a wider platform, but she was trapped in self-doubt, Su Yi felt that she was not as good as Cao Bingyin. It's a little bad.
When Su Yan went out, he didn't see Zhou Yanshi. Looking at the pool landscape that Chen Li said, he was sitting on the sofa talking to people, and when the afterglow swept to her, Su Yi knew that he had also seen him, so he sped up his pace and rushed over.
Director Lu in Chen Li's mouth is a middle-aged woman wearing a retro long dress, sitting there dignified.
Su Yi went over to say hello to someone, but this time he didn't wait for Chen Li to mention something, and took the initiative to talk about his work. What was very surprising was that this Director Lu actually said that she had seen it, but as for the evaluation, she did not give an evaluation.
After all, evaluation and allocation, where would it be so arbitrary.
Su Yi finally asked for someone's WeChat.
When Zhou Yanzhi sent her a message, Chen Li went to the bathroom, and Su Yan called Chen Li and said that he was in a hurry and wanted to go first. Chen Li was quite tolerant, saying that he had already met people anyway and had gained something, so he just let her go.
Su Yi was still afraid that he would shirk if he said that he would go with him, but fortunately he didn't.
Zhou Yanshi was waiting in the parking lot outside, and when Su Yan walked, he was already sitting in the co-pilot's seat.
Su Yu went directly to the driver's seat.
"Your person in charge let you over so easily, I thought I would have to wait a while." Maybe it was because he drank some wine, and Zhou Yanshi's eyes were a little chaotic.
Su Yi smiled, a little far-fetched, she didn't want to be peeped at her weakness, but at this moment in front of him, she couldn't help but laugh at herself and said, "He may be ...... Already lost faith in me. ”
"If he loses faith in you, he won't try to bring you here." Zhou Yanshu looked at her and said in one sentence, "Did you lose confidence in yourself, and your work didn't go well?" ”
Su Yan's car withdrew half from the parking space, because of Zhou Yan's words, she paused there, and after a few seconds, she turned the direction and turned the front of the car, muffled, a word hum, which actually made her bring out three points of grievances: "I wrote a few books and the response was very flat," not to mention the praise and criticism, "I just think, will I not be suitable for this industry?" ”
"Didn't you do this because you liked it?"
"yes, I like it." Su Yi was still noncommittal about his original intention.
"Then hold on a little longer, after all, it's rare to like to do something, and success sometimes needs to be accumulated, even one-sided. Moreover, there are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand readers. ”
When Su Yan heard this, he looked at Zhou Yanshi with straight eyes.
Zhou Yanshi immediately confessed: "Don't look at me, look at the road." ”
I was silent all the way until I entered the gate of the medical university, and the car was parked in the parking lot.
Zhou Yanshi saw Su Yan tell someone that Zhou's mother was going to stew the pork rib soup tomorrow night, and asked her to go over and drink a bowl together.
Su Yi suddenly thought of the words she heard in the study that day, her eyes fell on the steering wheel she was holding, and she was quiet for a moment and said in a muffled voice......
Zhou Yanshi took out a box of cigarettes from the center console, knocked out one and put it in his mouth, probably thinking that Su Yan was there, but he didn't smoke it. After a pause, he took the cigarette off with his hand and tapped the cigarette column on the switch of the window lift of the passenger door.
The contrast in people's attitudes during the period after receiving the certificate is too obvious, and the girls are careful, and they don't necessarily take it true when they hear some rumors. Zhou Yanshi knew that he had a bad reputation in his family in this regard, and he didn't care about it all the time, he didn't care much, he really didn't care about it. But I also know that the more you draw, the darker it will become. Thinking of this, his snort came out lightly, as if he was laughing, and turned his face to look at her, but the smile was more obvious, conniving, and a little helpless, "Gardenia ......"
Zhou Yanshi looked at her like that, his voice was gentle and he couldn't hear any fluctuations, and a faint smell of wine came from the side, seeping into the pores little by little. Su Yi stared at the steering wheel, his hands stiffened, and he tightened unconsciously. Although he only shouted his name, it was in a tone like he was going to drown someone. He had never had a tone like this before. The roots of Su Yu's ears were numb, and the tips of her ears were suddenly red.
Zhou Yanshi paused, and turned directly away from the topic of asking people to go back to dinner, "There is something you need to know, that is, I may be a little busy in the next period of time." ”
"Hmm." She already knew it from Jiang Yi. But whether he's busy or not, obviously it doesn't have much to do with him.
Then Zhou Yanshi said slowly: "It's inconvenient to run back and forth in the laboratory late at night, so I will go to the apartment to rest at night." ”
Su Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then turned his eyes to look at the person directly, and then quickly dodged away, and in just a few seconds, the whole person quickly heated into a cooked shrimp, and it took a long time to find a voice to respond.
"But the time to go back at night is uncertain, you just have to be busy with you, don't worry about my side, I have the key with me, I just want you to know about it." Zhou Yanzhi understated between his words, as if he was explaining an ordinary family trivial.
