Chapter 16 - process
16
The art clock on the wall goes by minute by minute.
Ye Liuying hung up the phone early, keeping Shen Xingzhou’s questioning out of her heart.
She never thought that Wu Pei’s words would come true.
Yet it actually happened.
Shen Xingzhou must have broken his brain.
Ye Liuying didn’t want to talk to Wu Pei about this for the time being, so she estimated that it was almost time and walked out of the apartment.
“Don’t worry, take your time.”
Jiang Chi’s message popped up again on WeChat, she clicked it, and heard his grinning voice.
Jiang Chi actually rarely spoke to her.
It should be said that he rarely texts her.
His voice is clean, his words are well-spoken, and he doesn’t appear deliberate, and he really has the effect of a spring water and a stone.
Ye Liuying raised the corners of her lips and pressed the down button of the elevator.
The elevator came quickly.
As soon as the door opened, several people came out carrying large cardboard boxes, looking at the packaging like brand new furniture.
This apartment is a one-story five-family design.
Ye Liuying turned around and found that they went to the house opposite her.
Why is it so coincidental that someone on the opposite side wants to move in?
But she didn’t think much about it and walked in before the elevator closed.
The afternoon sun fell on the crystal clear snow, shimmering with shreds of light.
Gu Fan’s three-story French-style building with floor-to-ceiling windows is elegant and particularly eye-catching in such light.
Ye Liuying smoothed her hair and rang the doorbell as calmly as possible.
It was Jiang Chi who opened the door for her.
Wearing a loose beige turtleneck sweater and light-colored jeans, with soft bangs half covering his forehead, he looked like a college student just out of school, young and energetic.
Jiang Chi’s facial features are not outstanding when viewed alone, but they are very attractive when combined.
Single eyelid, bright eyes, long and thick eyelashes, drooping eyes like small animals with a sense of innocence.
The bridge of the nose is tall and straight, the lines of the face are smooth, salty and sweet, full of youthful feeling.
Ye Liuying has a lot of information about Jiang Chi.
Otherwise, looking at his face, she really couldn’t tell that he would turn 30 in two months.
“I haven’t seen you for a long time and don’t you know me?” Jiang Chi tilted his head and smiled at her, like a spring breeze.
“I’ve been in Lingnan for a long time, and I haven’t seen a handsome guy very much.” Ye Liuying returned Jiang Chi with a half-smile and followed him inside.
Lingnan Town is a remote place, so Jiang Chi didn’t need to disguise himself when he came over.
The person I saw in the magazine not long ago jumped out of the paper and appeared in front of her, more attractive than the photo.
If Shen Xingzhou listened to her words, he would be very angry.
The red plums in the courtyard swayed, and the snow that fell out immediately fell to the ground.
The light fragrance of plum blossoms scattered in the air, lingering around them for a long time.
There was a flash of white light in the distance, as if someone was secretly recording all this.
Gu Fan should be making tea in the tea room.
Before Ye Liuying could walk in, she smelled the scent of tea.
“Are you nervous?” Jiang Chi followed her with one hand in his pocket.
When he laughs, he will show the pear vortex on his right cheek, which is called the small pear vortex by fans.
Ye Liuying turned her head to look, just in time to see Jiang Chi’s light pear vortex.
“Don’t be nervous.” She blinked, thinking that it might be more appropriate to describe it as apprehensive.
It probably started with the call from Shen Xingzhou.
She felt much less nervous about the meeting with Gu Fan, and always felt that something bad was about to happen.
“Teacher has seen your materials and works.” Jiang Chi saw Ye Liuying’s reaction in his eyes, thinking she was embarrassed, “His selection criteria are different from other directors, but as long as he thinks you are suitable If so, nothing else matters.”
“Do you think I’m suitable?” Ye Liuying looked at Jiang Chi.
Based on Gu Fan’s personality, it is estimated that the script has not been changed yet, and she can’t even see the abandoned version of the script.
It is an opportunity and a challenge for her.
Ye Liuying and Jiang Chi have a certain height difference, and when he looked up at the person, his cold and delicate little face was fully revealed in his eyes.
Even if you don’t speak, it makes people feel itchy, like a feather.
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me.” Jiang Chi rubbed his hands unconsciously, and stepped forward to lift the tea room curtain for her.
Ye Liuying’s professional grades are among the best, but there are not many film and television works.
In addition to the dramas and graduation dramas in the school, there are some small roles she took.
When Jiang Chi came over today, he found Gu Fan watching a movie in the video room.
I still watched the online drama “Wild Rose” by Ye Liuying.
This is one of her more roles.
The web drama is divided into four short stories, each of which also has a relationship in one way or another, which constitutes a complete story.
Ye Liuying plays a gourmet who suffers from severe depression and crowd phobia in the third story.
The shooting style is rare in domestic film and television works.
In addition, there are unknown actors who are used, and they have not been able to turn up too much sparks after the broadcast.
But it is also highly respected by minority groups.
Director Wei Tingxuan has some connections with Gu Fan.
Gu Fan had read it once last year, but when he took it out today, he was clearly paying attention to Ye Liuying.
Jiang Chi thinks there is at least a 65% chance of her being selected.
He didn’t say it.
But silently looking forward to working with her.
Ye Liuying calmed down and stepped into the tea room.
But just as she was about to greet Gu Fan, she was stunned.
Gu Fan’s tea room uses light wood grain as the main color, imitating the simplicity and purity of the Zen temple, creating a fresh and elegant Japanese style.
Pushing open the lattice door, you can see the view of the courtyard.
Now the door is wide open, but Gu Fan is nowhere to be seen, only the steaming tea on the table, and the three-flowered cat lying lazily on the cushion.
Ye Liuying didn’t know why she suddenly panicked.
She looked back at Jiang Chi and asked tentatively, “Where’s Director Gu?”
Jiang Chi was not in a hurry to answer her questions.
He walked over, squatted down and picked up the three-flowered cat, carefully smoothing it, “This is a hemp ball, the teacher specially found it.”
This is an English short three flowers.
With a big head and a round face, harmonious colors, and stubby and well-developed limbs, he looks like a pampered master.
“Do you like cats? It’s a little grumpy, you should take it easy.”
As if to verify Jiang Chi’s words, Ma Qiu scratched him and slipped away from his arms.
“You mean…?” Ye Liuying already had a bad premonition in her heart.
hemp balls.
Mostly to test her.
“It’s what you think.” Jiang Chi raised his head and smiled at Ye Liuying, “You can take it back in a while.”
“…” Is it too late for her to give up now?
Ye Liuying was stunned for a while, she was embarrassed to say that she was afraid of hairy animals.
She looked at the hemp ball that was paralyzed on the cushion again, trying to restrain the fear in her heart.
“You sit first.” Jiang Chi was very familiar with Gu Fan’s territory.
He washed his hands before sitting down in front of the tea table, “Teacher has good tea here, you can try it.”
Ye Liuying sat down opposite him, “Then can I see Director Gu today?”
“I’m afraid not.” Jiang Chi pointed to the hemp ball on the side, “You can take care of it and come back.”
It seems that she has to get along with Ma Qiu well before she has the chance to meet Gu Fan.
Ye Liuying was in a complicated mood, and felt that her chances of being selected were less than half.
Compared with her, Jiang Chi was much calmer.
He scooped up the tea leaves with a wooden spoon and put them into the gaiwan. The cloud-mist tea was straight and beautiful. When it was gently poured with boiled water, steam rose with the fragrance of the tea.
The sun slanted on Jiang Chi’s side face, his eyes were calm, and the action of brewing tea was as pleasing to the eye as it was flowing.
Seven soaks and seven soaks, the boiling water is repeatedly brewed, and the fragrance of tea lingers in the room.
Ye Liuying looked stunned.
This was the first time she had been alone with Jiang Chi in private, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but unexpectedly felt familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.
When she returned to the cage, she saw Jiang Chi smiling and handing over a cup of fragrant tea.
“Thank you.” Ye Liuying took over the tea.
The color of the soup is blue-green with yellow, the tea fragrance is refreshing, and the entrance is sweet.
Her irritability seemed to have been soothed.
“Maqiu will also appear in the movie, it’s always good for you to get close to it.” Jiang Chi added another cup of tea to her.
Ye Liuying completely understood what he meant. In short, if she didn’t have a good relationship with Ma Qiu, she would have no chance at all.
“Do you have a cat?” She picked up the teacup and wanted to learn from him.
“I have dogs because I’m afraid they will fight.”
Getting along with Jiang Chi is not difficult.
He treats people kindly, brings a three-point smile when he speaks, and takes the right measure.
“Then I’m afraid I’ll fight it.” Ye Liuying whispered, and Jiang Chi laughed even more when she heard it.
The tea room is quiet and peaceful, and the scenes of handsome men and women drinking tea and chatting are like movie shots.
Look up.
A video room on the second floor separated by a ceiling.
On the dark green sofa sat two handsome men.
One of them was wearing a light gray crew-neck sweater and slacks. He was tall and had long legs and a slim figure.
Black frame glasses covered his deep eyebrows, high nose and thin lips, and a thin cheek that was sharp and sharp.
It is the owner of the house – Gu Fan.
The other was a little younger.
A light blue denim shirt is paired with dark cargo pants, and a black painter’s hat is worn on the head.
His drooping eyebrows could not be seen clearly under the brim of his hat, and the interplay of light and dark revealed his bad mood.
Just like the scandal-ridden Shen Xingzhou.
They sat on the dark green sofa and watched Ye Liuying on the big screen together.
The former is light and calm, and there is not much emotional fluctuation throughout the whole process.
The latter frowned, clearly not paying attention to the plot of the movie.
In the end, only Shen Xingzhou couldn’t sit still.
“Do you really want her to have a cat?” He raised his jaw slightly, and the small red mole under his right eye was exposed in the air, enough to forgive his absent-mindedness.
Shen Xingzhou knew better than anyone that Ye Liuying was afraid of cats.
He originally kept a short-haired Alaska, because she couldn’t touch any furry animals, so he gave it to Wu Xudong.
“Didn’t you all break up?” Gu Fan didn’t go to see Shen Xingzhou, but still focused on the movie.
His seven words can probably be simplified into—
It’s none of your business.
Shen Xingzhou’s forehead jumped, and Ye Liuying’s face reappeared in his mind.
She can use the most gentle tone and say the most indifferent words.
Yes.
They have broken up.
A slap doesn’t make a sound.
Being together or breaking up is a matter of two people.
Being forced to accept is also accepting.
Even if there are 10,000 unwilling people in his heart, he will not be able to pull back the people who are eccentric.
He regretted it as soon as he went out that day.
He couldn’t get used to life without her, so he came here to coax her, and even the apartment and Gu Fan took care of it for her.
But he just couldn’t see her cold face, and when he was angry, he began to speak indiscriminately.
So that he was not idle when he went back.
The tourbillon cufflinks were deliberately put in by him, and although it took a long time, there was nothing good.
When he came today, he met Jiang Chi at the airport.
It’s not a big deal, but he happened to see his mobile page. Not only is he chatting with her, but even the background of the chat is her photo.
So he couldn’t help but call her…
The result is better not to fight.
Shen Xingzhou had never been so frustrated in his life.
Although he could hear her being angry, he was shaking with anger at the slim chance.
Shocked, angry, stupefied, unwilling…
He has his own arrogance, but after getting to know Ye Liuying, he becomes less and less like himself.
Shen Xingzhou took off his hat and scratched his hair irritably.
He leaned back on the sofa, raised his right hand to cover his eyes, and said sullenly, “Do you think she has no heart?”
“Are you sure you want to ask me?” Gu Fan finally found time to look at Shen Xingzhou.
The love of young people is boring and childish, and he usually doesn’t care about these little things.
Who made Shen Xingzhou the nephew of his ex-ex-girlfriend?
A woman he hated very much, but also impressed him the most.
“Who asked you to introduce someone to her in front of me.” Shen Xingzhou squinted at Gu Fan.
“You dare not go down to see her.” Gu Fan sneered.
“Why don’t I dare?” Even if Shen Xingzhou couldn’t hear such words, he didn’t want to be disadvantaged.
He really lacks a reason.
The earlier phone calls could have used cufflinks as an excuse, but it made no sense to appear in front of her now.
“Then you go down.” Gu Fan turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, “so as not to turn around and ask me for someone again.”
It’s an endless loop.
Shen Xingzhou couldn’t think of a countermeasure for a while.
He looked up at the dim ceiling and suddenly thought of when they were together.
A girl who was pressed on a soft couch in an audio-visual room that also saw no light.
Black ribbons wrapped around her hands, her complexion was extremely white, and the contrast between black and white created a stunning effect.
The breaths are intertwined, and the ears are rubbed together.
Love and **** come from her.
Now they were only tens of meters apart, but he couldn’t touch her.
Shen Xingzhou sat there without speaking for a long time.
“She’s not for you.” Until Gu Fan’s cold voice reached his ear.
He turned his head sharply, stared at Gu Fan with burning eyes, and silently expressed doubts.
“Or make a bet?”
“Look at you and Jiang Chi, who is more popular with her.”
Gu Fan’s words never meant it literally.
Shen Xingzhou knew him fairly well, but he came to understand after a while.
What’s not suitable or not.
Whatever you like is suitable.
Jiang Chi is also not the point.
The point is that anyone other than him can easily get her smile.
“She’s afraid of cats.”
“Afraid of all furry animals.”
Shen Xingzhou put on his hat and said stubbornly.
Gu Fan couldn’t deny it.
He moved his fingers and turned off the projector without warning.
The audio-visual room was plunged into boundless darkness.
Eyes open and closed are the same color.
“Do you remember how many days you drank last week?”
“…”of course not.
“You remember the clothes she wore the day she left, the colors she wore the most, the milk tea she bought the most…”
“…”
“I remember.”
“Then do you want the face or her?”
“…”she.
