Yang Shan pushed the paper version of the script in front of Xu Wan: "The filming of this movie will be at the end of next month. Is your time convenient?"
Xu Wan nodded, and then said: "Director Yang, I... the play needs to be toured, which may delay a little time."
"It's okay. I've already understood this. I'll let them make adjustments."
"Thank you, Director Yang."
"You don't have to be so polite with me. I just hope I can help you."
Xu Wan lowered his eyes and looked at the script, his lips slightly pursed.
Yang Shan took a sip of coffee and then said: "By the way, is the Mr. Su you met that day your boyfriend?"
Xu Wan raised his eyes and shook his head slightly: "No."
"No, it's okay. I went back and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't remember seeing him at any cocktail party. He is too utilitarian and not suitable for you."
After saying that, Yang Shan added, "But if you have the right person by your side, you can start a new relationship. Don't always be stuck in the past and bear the mistakes of others."
"I understand, thank you, Director Yang."
"Then I'll see you when the phone is turned on."
…
After separating from Yang Shan, Xu Wan wore a mask and a hat and walked aimlessly on the street.
I don’t know how long it took, but she stood in front of University A.
This was the place where Ruan Chen once stayed.
The students inside have changed batch after batch, and they are all fresh and energetic faces.
She sat on the bus stop opposite and remembered the day when he came to her in the rain even though he was at home with a cold.
Every move made her fall.
Can life really be started over?
Xu Wan sat there for a whole afternoon, watching the students go to class and finish class.
They all seem to have clear goals in life and know what they want.
On the way back, Yan Xiang called her: "I just got off the plane and I'm going to have dinner tonight."
after an hour.
Yan Xiang sat down opposite her: "What's wrong? Didn't the play go smoothly? Why do I see you looking so depressed?"
Xu Wan picked up the water and took a sip: "Is there any?"
"Of course I do. It's just that I can't tell you what I'm worried about on my face. Tell me now and I'll help you analyze it."
Xu Wan lowered his head and did not speak for a while.
Yan Xiang added: "Could it be that Mr. Su is still chasing you and beating you up?"
"not him."
Yan Xiang keenly captured the deeper meaning of her words, leaned a little closer, and whispered: "Then there is more."
Xu Wan: "..."
She put down the water glass and was silent before saying, "Actually, when the accident happened three years ago, I had a boyfriend."
Yan Xiang was slightly surprised: "I thought those were rumors..."
Not long after that incident, Xu Wan just stayed in the crew. The matter itself was sensitive, so Yan Xiang didn't ask any questions.
Xu Wandao: "The cause of the matter started with him. Qin Yuhui took the photo..."
She held the water glass, closed her eyes, and finally continued in a solemn voice: "Qin Yuhui showed the photo to him in person."
Yan Xiang didn't expect that there was this level. She opened her eyes slightly: "Then you..."
"Qin Yuhui's original intention was to provoke him, but he succeeded... He made a move on Qin Yuhui and was taken away by the police, while Qin Yuhui was lying in the intensive care unit with his life and death uncertain."
Those two days were the most difficult days of her life.
"and after?"
"Later...Later, the lawyer told me that if I could take the initiative to stand up and accuse Qin Yuhui, the judge would try the case based on the cause and effect, and I would be able to give him a chance to win the case."
Yan Xiang suddenly realized: "No wonder, let me tell you why you sued Qin Yuhui directly. Although his actions are very dirty, once a female artist gets involved in this kind of thing, even the victim will be criticized by the public."
As he spoke, Yan Xiang tentatively spoke again: "So your boyfriend broke up with you because of this?"
Xu Wan whispered: "I broke up with him. I thought we broke up. Because of this incident, he went abroad for a few years and came back recently, but... he thought we didn't break up, so..."
Xu Wan didn't say the rest, and Yan Xiang understood.
She stirred the straw in the cup: "The rumors are indeed half true and half false, but that boyfriend of yours is very bloody, and I have to beat Qin Yuhui to death."
Yan Xiang then analyzed: "Then your boyfriend's attitude when he comes back this time is that he wants to continue to be with you?"
Xu Wan nodded lightly.
Yan Xiang said: "That's good! It shows that he is a good man! Those things were not your fault in the first place, but that turtle bastard Qin Yuhui's. If he can do it, he doesn't mind, really..."
"But I mind."
Yan Xiang fell silent instantly.
Xu Wan took a breath and then spoke slowly: "Every time I think about the scene of Qin Yuhui standing in front of him and handing him those photos, I feel very broken, and I can never do it anymore.
Be with him without any grudges."
Yan Xiang held her hand: "These are not your fault."
Xu Wan smiled: "I know, everyone comforted me like this, and I told myself this countless times, but it was of no use. I couldn't control the images in my mind, and I couldn't forgive myself."
"But your boyfriend really loves you. He should have never said a word to blame you from the beginning to the end, otherwise you wouldn't feel so uncomfortable."
Xu Wan lowered his eyes: "He is very good and excellent. He deserves a better choice. I don't want to delay him."
"Then what's wrong with you? You are also a movie queen after all. You are a top-notch female star. You have so many trophies that you can hardly keep them at home. You are not inferior to others. If you really want to go public with him, maybe your fans will think so.
He doesn't deserve you."
Xu Wan smiled and shook his head: "These are just a gorgeous coat."
"It doesn't matter if it's just a coat or not, there are specialties in the profession. Don't forget that you have suffered a lot along the way. If you deny your achievements, you are denying your efforts.
Although I don’t know how good your boyfriend is, but since I can make you think this way, let’s just assume that he is really good, and that he is good enough for you.”
In fact, before meeting Ruan Chen, Xu Wan probably had the same thoughts as Yan Xiang.
Men, it's just for fun. If you like it, you can stay together. If you don't, you can separate. There is no burden.
But Ruan Chen is different, he is the brightest moon in the darkness.
Just when she finally worked up the courage to be with him, something happened again.
She felt that they might not be destined.
But now, he answered her again.
She couldn't refuse him, whether it was three years ago or three years later, it was the same.
Yan Xiang continued: "Xu Wan, really, let's start over. I believe your boyfriend loves you very much."
