After helping Li Qian sit down on the sofa in the hotel room, Tong Liya went to the bathroom to get a towel, wet it with hot water, and handed it over.
Li Qian took the towel and wiped his face, feeling a little better.
Shaking his head, "I still can't drink enough. I worked as a tool for a professor in my junior year and took on a lot of films. I started to learn to drink at that time. Later, when I opened a studio, I couldn't avoid socializing. I often had to go out to eat and drink with clients. I still haven't done it in more than two years.
Work on your drinking."
Tong Liya took the towel to the bathroom and took a box of yogurt from the refrigerator.
"Then drink less. Didn't you drink much at the closing party of "Sniper Phone Booth"? Why did you drink so much today?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "I'm glad. Although I have filmed some advertising documentaries and two for Internet University, it is the first theatrical film after all, so it has a different meaning."
"You can't get drunk, it's not good for your health."
Tong Liya complained, then got up and wanted to do something else.
Li Qian grabbed her and said, "Stop being busy, sit down, rest, and chat for a while."
"I'll get a hot towel and put it on your head. It will make you feel better."
"No, just take a nap later and nothing will happen when you wake up early tomorrow morning."
Li Qian shook his head and held Tong Liya's slender waist.
Tong Liya also blushed and leaned against Li Qian, feeling a little quiet for a while.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, I couldn't help but find a topic, "By the way, you said you had made some documentaries before, were they all shot in college?"
"That's right. I finished everything I needed to learn in my freshman and sophomore years. I started working as a tool for the professor in my junior year. I spent a year in Hengdian in my senior year. After graduation, I opened a studio?"
Li Qian talked about the past, "I loved watching movies when I was a kid. When I was almost in high school, I wanted to be a director and make movies that I wanted to make and that the audience liked. Then I got admitted to the Department of Directing and Directing at Jiangnan University."
"The professor needed a tool. I wanted to make a film, so I worked for him for a year. I made commercials and documentaries. I traveled to some places. The most difficult one was in a mountainous area. A company donated a school to the mountainous area.
I hope the primary school will also promote their company and make a documentary."
"That documentary was only twenty minutes long. It was about filming a mountainous primary school with missing table legs, the conditions of families in mountainous areas, and the difficulty of going to school. Anyway, it was to highlight the education problems in mountainous areas, and then the students were happy to learn in the new school.
The joy and relief of the parents, as well as the footage of the local education bureau and the company boss playing games with the students."
Although Li Qian did not talk about the hardships of the filming process, Tong Liya could already picture scenes in her mind from these two short sentences.
A college student from the city took a camera deep into the impoverished mountainous areas, climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, and lived in dilapidated brick houses with leakage, just to record the real scenes in impoverished mountainous areas and let the outside world understand their difficulties.
, and also gives them the opportunity to get more help.
Tong Liya looked up at Li Qian with admiration, "This is so meaningful and great."
"What a great thing."
"I didn't expect it to be so remote. I took a bus from the town for an hour and then walked for an hour and a half on the mountain road. I regretted it when I got to the village."
Li Qian shook his head, feeling a little helpless, "I thought that I had already come here, and if I went back without finishing the filming, it would be a trip in vain."
"Then at least you insist on finishing the documentary!"
So what if the filming is finished? In the end, the Hope Primary School was built near the town. The children in the village had to take an hour's bus and walk an hour and a half on a mountain road. No one went to the Hope Primary School to attend school.
According to local leaders, there are too few students in such a small village and it would be too wasteful to build a Hope Primary School. Building it in a town can provide a good learning environment for all students in the town.
When the school was built and opened, the only students who could go to the new school were children from the town or those close to the town.
There used to be a primary school in the town, and these students attended this school.
After the new primary school was built, the old school was simply moved to the new school, and the students who really needed it were still the same.
A year later, the boss learned about the news and asked the county education bureau. The answer he received was that the school did not have dormitories and could not provide accommodation for students in remote areas.
The boss donated another sum of money to build dormitories for them.
As a result, the dormitories were built, but they were faculty dormitories. The reason was to attract better teacher resources.
Although the original intention is to promote one's own company, no one wants to make someone else's money easier with their own money.
The third time, the boss asked him to recruit a construction team and build the dormitories himself.
But the Education Bureau refused and this time vowed to build a student dormitory.
As a result, the student dormitories were transformed into brand-new movies, and the backward rural primary schools were equipped with modern computer classrooms. During the inspection by the Municipal Education Bureau, they were named and praised by the leaders and were selected as advanced schools.
Later, Li Qian didn't know, but he knew it with his toes.
There is no need to talk to Tong Liya about these things, it would be too embarrassing.
I also talked about some of the more interesting things that happened when I was working as a coolie in my junior year and shooting movies everywhere.
After hearing this, Tong Liya looked stunned and said with a smile, "So, are you trying to say that hard work pays off? It is precisely because I used to work for my tutor for free that I developed my abilities and achieved today's success."
"That's right."
Li Qian smiled and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. At that time, our classmates from the Food Biology Department next door were also sent for internships every year. Do you know why they went there?"
"What are you going for?" Tong Liya listened with interest.
"A certain leader of the school opened a food processing factory. Every year when the time comes, they are taken to the factory to make mooncakes, with food, accommodation and no wages included."
"ah???"
In the blink of an eye, the inspirational story turned into poisonous chicken soup, and Tong Liya was confused.
"Making mooncakes?"
"Yes, mooncakes are also food. They correspond to the Department of Food Biology. You must go there and you won't lose credits."
"That's too overbearing."
Tong Liya said angrily, but she didn't really want to talk about this topic. She just heard Li Qian talk about his past, and she felt very inspiring and touched. Li Qian's image also improved in her heart. Now
The atmosphere was ruined.
...
As we were chatting, the topic of the first meeting between the two suddenly came up.
"Yaya, do you still remember the first time we met? You were quite fierce at that time. I was a little scared when I saw you."
Recalling that Tong Liya was like a mother protecting her calf at that time, Li Qian still wants to laugh when he thinks about it now.
"How could I be so fierce?" Tong Liya became a little nervous.
Li Qian smiled, hugged her and leaned against him, "But later I discovered that you are completely different from then."
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Li Qian also understood Tong Liya's character.
A girl who is very weak will sometimes deliberately pretend to be untouchable in order to protect herself, just like the first time they met.
"Li Qian."
Tong Liya suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
Tong Liya plucked up the courage and looked up at Li Qian, her eyes full of anxiety, "Do you really like me?"
"Of course, Yaya, why do you ask that?"
"But you still confessed to me."
From the day Li Qian left Hengdian and signed with Tong Liya's hand, and when Li Qian returned to the capital to pick him up at the airport, Tong Liya naturally took Li Qian's arm, and both parties had acquiesced in their relationship.
However, Tong Liya never heard any sweet words from Li Qian, not even saying "I like you", and there was always an uneasy feeling in her heart.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Didn't you confess your love to me too?"
"Then...it's the boys who confess first." Tong Liya was a little anxious.
"Yes."
Li Qian suddenly realized that he was the one being chased when he was in college.
Suddenly I remembered something again, so I got up and rummaged through my bag...
Seeing Li Qian take out a small box from his bag, Tong Liya immediately put her worries behind her and started looking forward to it.
"What's this?"
"I bought you a gift when I came to the capital. It was originally your birthday on the 8th last month, but I was busy auditioning for Zhang Hanyu that day. I forgot to take it out, and you didn't mention it. Later, I was bored at home writing the script.
I forgot about it, so I kept it in my bag, hoping to find an opportunity to give it to you."
Li Qian opened the small box, and inside was a Cartier Tank solo women's watch.
"You have a weak temper and always pretend to be strong in front of outsiders. I don't know much about watches. This one is the Cartier Tank solo series. I hope that like its name, it will make you stronger in the future. The square dial is also
It can give people a feeling of strength.”
"Like it?"
"Um!"
Tong Liya nodded with tears of joy in her eyes.
He stretched out his hand and asked Li Qian to put the watch on him. He looked at it over and over, and from time to time he stretched it out to Li Qian's eyes to show him.
He took Tong Liya into his arms again, "Yaya, no matter you are pretending to be strong or you are weak, I like you all. There is no need to pretend to be strong to protect yourself in the future. With me behind you, you are the most important person."
Strong support!"
"Um!"
Tong Liya smiled through her tears, "Li Qian, I've liked you since the second time we met, even though you were so boring and only talked about unnutritious things."
"Although you are only averagely handsome, can't sing, have no talent, can't even play basketball or football, can't make me happy, and are quite boring, I just like you."
Li Qian had a sad expression on his face, "No, it's like I'm worthless. It hurts my heart so much."
Tong Liya curled her lips and looked arrogant, "Who made it take you so long to confess your feelings!"
"I gave it to you as a gift, and you scolded me!"
"Humph, who told you to send me late?"
...
The two sat on the sofa and chatted on and off for more than two hours.
Sometimes we just lean together quietly without talking, enjoying the rare good time.
Suddenly Tong Liya felt a weight on her shoulder. She turned around and saw that Li Qian had fallen asleep. He was leaning on Tong Liya and his head was resting on her shoulder.
She could fall asleep even while sitting, and Tong Liya felt a little distressed when she thought of Li Qian's workload during this period.
Meetings in the morning, filming during the day, and taking people to watch the developed films at night. There was never a moment of leisure all day long, just over five hours a day.
No matter on the set or after work, Tong Liya didn't dare to disturb him for fear of affecting his work and rest.
After looking at the time, it was already very late, Tong Liya weighed the weight of both parties, and it was obviously unrealistic to carry Li Qian to the bed.
But I didn't want to wake him up, so I could only get up slowly and let Li Qian lie on the sofa.
Fortunately, the sofa is wide enough so sleeping will not be uncomfortable.
She took off his shoes for him, took a pillow from the bed to put on it, and covered him with a quilt.
Squatting on the ground, he just looked at Li Qian's sleeping face quietly. If he looked closely, he could see a look of exhaustion and tiredness.
After staring at Li Qian for a while, Tong Liya suddenly slowly lowered her head, kissed Li Qian gently on the mouth, and then quickly retracted her head.
A blush crept up her cheeks and gradually spread to her slender neck.
Finally, he straightened the pillow for Li Qian, made sure the cup was covered, and left briskly.
...
Li Qian, who was sleeping, suddenly stretched out his hand from the quilt, touched his mouth unconsciously, and then naturally lowered it to the edge of the sofa.
