The moon rises above the willows, and the lights from door to door in the apartment building gradually disappear, eventually sinking into a deep web of darkness.
Low pure music was playing in the car, and the man's eyes were staring at a certain room that had already fallen into darkness. The cigarette curled up from his fingertips, and he didn't know which number it was.
At four o'clock in the morning, a few drops of rain fell from the night sky, drifting to the back of my hands, and the coolness spread.
It would be dawn in two hours, and he was not going to sleep. Qi Si just lit a cigarette and sat quietly, thinking about something in his mind frame by frame.
When the sky was dark, a light suddenly came on in a certain room. He opened his eyes and straightened up slightly.
Xu Qingchan went to bed early last night and forgot to close the bay window. At dawn, she caught a cold and woke up. She went to the window barefoot and found that rain was still falling outside.
Stretching out his hand, raindrops fell on his palm, making him feel itchy.
After staring for a moment, she retracted her hand and closed the window.
Qi Si opened the door and got out of the car, but was stunned when he saw the lights in the room go out.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Qingchan finally got up after going back to sleep. She was going to see Sister Hong today.
I took the milk and bread and took the elevator downstairs. The driver I booked in advance on my phone was only 0.5 kilometers away from me.
Holding an umbrella and walking into the rain, a black figure appeared in my sight.
"Mr. Qi?"
The man was still wearing yesterday's suit, his eyes were a little gray, but his eyes were very calm.
Looking at her shoulder bag, he asked: "Want to go out?"
"Yes." The bread in her hand was still unopened. After thinking about it, she asked politely: "Have you had breakfast?"
Qi Si didn't answer, "You eat."
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
The call from the online ride-hailing driver just came in. Xu Qingchan pursed her lips and said, "My driver is here."
"Here it is!" She waved to the approaching driver, turned to Qi Si and said, "Goodbye Mr. Qi."
As the online car-hailing car went further and further away, the man watched quietly, his thin lips pursed tightly.
When Ni Hong received her call last night, she couldn't believe it for a while. She waited until someone finally arrived before hugging her.
"It's been a year since I left. I thought something had happened to you."
"I missed my appointment."
Ni Hong had some tears in her eyes and looked at her carefully, "I haven't seen her for a year. She has lost weight and her jawline is sharper than before. By the way, has your matter been resolved?"
"about there."
"You won't disappear without any news for another year and a half, right?"
"Won't."
"My fans missed you during your absence for a year. They thought you had quietly withdrawn from the industry. You have to work hard in the future."
Xu Qingchan was silent for a moment: "I may have to terminate my contract with the company this time."
"Why?"
She and Shen Yunan also had a grudge, and the other party might not be able to tolerate her.
"For personal reasons, I haven't decided yet whether to sign with another company or quit the industry in the future."
Ni Hong's face tightened slightly, "No, you are so talented. You are a good actor. You will surely shine in the film and television industry. It would be a pity to quit."
"I'll give you an answer after thinking it over carefully."
"Think carefully and don't be impulsive."
"Um."
"By the way, the award you won at the year-end ceremony last year is in the exhibition cabinet. I will take you to get it."
Winning an award?
There is a shiny golden trophy in the glass cabinet, with 'Best Supporting Actress of the Year' engraved on it, and her name is on the second line.
The trophy was heavy in her hand. Looking at the shiny golden thing, the corners of Xu Qingchan's lips curved slightly. She didn't expect that she could have such an honor.
It still feels pretty good.
In the evening, she, Ji Qingbai and Yang Wanwan had a drink at a bar. When he saw her, Yang Wanwan curled up his lips and said, "It seems like you haven't had a good year."
I heard that Xiaojiao is now a very popular traffic star, with a lot of fans, a lot of good resources, and a more charming and sexy person than before.
Xu Qingchan chuckled, "Teacher Yang looks so radiant, he really looks like a big shot."
"Humph." Yang Wanwan hummed softly, taking a sip from the wine glass without speaking to her.
Xu Qingchan chatted with Ji Qingbai for a while, while Xiaoqiao was angry at the side and tentatively poured her some fruit wine.
"Teacher Yang, are you worried about something at work recently?"
"Asshole." Yang Wanwan cursed in a low voice.
Xu Qingchan hurriedly coaxed her, "Who made you unhappy?"
"Leaving without saying a word or saying goodbye to me, she is simply a scumbag."
It was funny in her heart, but Xu Qingchan still pretended not to understand, "Who, who scummed our Teacher Yang?"
"Xu Qingchan, little bastard."
"Ah...it's me you want to scold?"
"Scumbag."
"Okay, I'm a scumbag and I made Teacher Yang sad."
After stroking Little Pepper's back, Xu Qingchan said innocently: "You went to other provinces to film, so I couldn't say goodbye to you."
"I couldn't get in touch with you after that. I thought you were terminally ill! Scumbag."
"No, no," Xu Qingchan smiled lightly, "It turns out that Teacher Yang cares about me so much, the previous hot pot meals were worth it."
Yang Wanwan snorted again, "You still need ten hot pot meals from now on to comfort me!"
"It's a small problem. If you want to eat, I can cook it for you. You can come to my house often."
I thought this would comfort Little Pepper, but I didn't expect that she drank some wine, her head hung slightly, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she tilted her head in a shameless manner.
The lights in the booth area were slightly dim, which actually accommodated her gaffe.
"You don't have any family or friends. You are alone and can't be contacted." Yang Wanwan lowered her head, her voice was slightly crying, and her tone was fierce, "I'm afraid no one will collect your body after you die."
Xu Qingchan paused slightly, looking at Little Pepper with helpless and funny eyes, "I've been thinking about my fault for so long, don't you think I'm here to see you now?"
Yang Wanwan sniffed, "Are you happy now?"
"Happy, very happy."
"What a coincidence, Miss Xu, are you here too?"
Mu Xiuze's voice came. When he heard the sound, he looked around and saw that the Yan brothers and Qi Si were also there.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come here to drink too."
It stands to reason that this group of noble men would either go to Mu Xiuze's bar or to Lishangsidu, but they would actually come to such a little-known Qing bar.
"I'm tired of the wine over there. This kind of quiet and artistic bar is quite good." Mu Xiuze glanced at Yang Wanwan, who had red lips and white teeth, "Do you mind if we come together?"
"do not mind."
"Thank you. Since you share the territory with us, I'll treat the girls to drinks tonight."
Yang Wanwan raised her glass, her little face slightly pink from the alcohol, and politely said, "Thank you then."
Qi Si sat down and looked at Xu Qingchan with a vague gaze. She had really lost weight, and her facial features were more three-dimensional and colder than before, but the atmosphere around her was much calmer and calmer.
It’s as if a person in his old age has seen through everything and has no desires or desires, like a bright moon in the middle of the lake.
He heard some of the conversation between Yang Wanwan and her just now. The words "No one will collect your body after you die" were like a soft needle piercing into the heart, spreading out like dense ripples of pain.
