Wayne quietly looked at Ni Yuying, the girl who looked like his sister Xueche. Memories flooded her mind like a movie. How could he forget such a deep memory? He thought that he would never see her again…
Ni Yuying looked at him in surprise. She had yet to recover from such a coincidental encounter. At this moment, Ran Xusheng walked up to her and gently grabbed her hand. Inadvertently, he glared at Wu Zisong. Of course, Wu Zisong's expression was naturally not too good.
However, Wayne's expression was interesting. He frowned but soon relaxed. However, this small change didn't escape Ran Xusheng's eagle-like eyes. It was obvious that Ni Yuying and Wayne knew each other before. Ran Xusheng smiled and walked over in a friendly manner. Then, as if he was performing magic, a big and powerful hand appeared and reached out to Wei." Boss Xu, long time no see…Do you know my colleague, Miss Ni?"”
Ah Wei smiled, but before he could say anything, Ni Yuying had already rushed forward." Uh, I know Boss Xu's wife." After saying this, the atmosphere froze. Ni Yuying also regretted her " rash words ". Did everyone here know Li Xing 'er? First of all, she knew that Wu Zisong was the first to feel upset. Li Xing 'er, the girl who was sentenced to death by Pan for drug trafficking, was only 23 years old. She was Wayne's wife and Wu Zisong's physical lover three years ago…
Wayne's expression didn't change. He sighed and suddenly turned to Ran Xusheng." Do you remember the short public service advertisement I posted when I was the first generation of Fu 'er Pharmaceuticals in Tianchao District?”Seeing Ran Xusheng shake his head, Wayne's lips curled into a faint smile." That public service advertisement was Miss Ni's idea!”
"Oh? Is that so?" Ran Xusheng turned around and looked at Ni Yuying. Ni Yuying nodded." I was still a student at that time. It was more than three years ago…"
"There's still me. I'm one of the producers and designers of that film!”Wu Zisong was afraid that someone would steal his credit. Even though he was already a famous advertising director in the media industry and might even be able to make a movie, Wu Zisong still could not help but steal the credit from Ran Xusheng and Wayne. Firstly, he wanted to prove that he was not neglected. Secondly, he wanted to remind Ni Yuying that he was her former partner. Without him, she could not have done anything…
Ni Yuying turned to look at Wu Zisong and glared at him." You still have the cheek to say that you're the producer and planner. I wonder who was the one who was always missing at that time!”Her voice was very soft, but she was sure that Wu Zisong and Ran Xusheng were the ones who heard it. Even Wayne, who was sitting opposite her, heard it. Ni Yuying thought that she did it on purpose. He didn't want those old sesame seeds and rotten grains from three years ago to jump out and disturb his peaceful life…
However, these people were very tactless. Wu Zisong looked at Ran Xusheng." She's in the same company as you now? Why do I remember that you are a freelance lighting technician?”
"Can't you find a place to settle down?”Ran Xusheng smiled innocently as a response, but it was ambiguous.
Liars, they were all liars. They didn't even blink when they were lying! Ni Yuying said in her heart.
" I'll find out which company you're working on…" Wu Zisong whispered into Ni Yuying's ear. Coincidentally, Ran Xusheng, who was beside her, could hear him. Of course, he said it on purpose for Ran Xusheng to hear. After he finished speaking, he revealed a charming and polite smile to everyone. He left Ni Yuying with a tall and straight back that was not as desolate as it was three years ago.
Ran Xusheng insisted on being a guest.
It was already close to one o'clock in the morning when they walked out of the nightclub. Wayne was carrying his daughter, Xue Li, while Ran Xusheng was still holding Ni Yuying's arm. They found a 24-hour bar and sat down.
Xue Li's big, clear, and beautiful eyes were staring at Ni Yuying and Ran Xusheng from left to right, and her small mouth was smiling. In Wayne's arms, little Shirley really looked like a doll.
Li Xing 'er's daughter?" After a long silence, Ni Yuying finally found a topic to talk about. She remembered that three years ago, Li Xing 'er had shown her a picture of her daughter, who was still a baby in swaddling clothes. Time really flew by…
Wayne nodded. However, his eyes were fixed on Ni Yuying's face as if he was deep in thought.
"Your name is Xue Li, right?" Ran Xusheng suddenly teased the little princess in Wayne's arms." Do you like ice cream?" Uncle knows that there's delicious ice cream at the counter in front. Do you want to go?”
The little girl in his arms immediately clapped her hands happily. After a while, Ran Xusheng picked her up and went to eat ice cream. Ni Yuying nodded as she watched Ran Xusheng leave with Xue Li in his arms. She knew that he was doing this to free up some time so that she could talk to Wayne alone and reminisce about the past.
"You, are you okay?" Suddenly, Wayne looked up.
Thinking about it, he had always been a deep man. He didn't talk much and only showed his eloquence when he was with her. And now, he seemed to be so clumsy that he didn't know what to say to her. However, wasn't she the same?
"I heard that you're from the National Security Bureau?”He asked tentatively. Ni Yuying knew that some questions were very sensitive, and the person involved could not answer every detail.
Wayne was silent, and Ni Yuying took it as a silent agreement.
After a while, Wayne looked at Ni Yuying and said seriously,"Not anymore…" Ni Yuying only reacted after a while. She smiled, and that smile was directed at herself.
Is it because of Li Xing 'er?" She took a sip of her favorite mocha and asked casually. Based on Wayne's identity at that time, he must have approached Li Xing 'er because of a mission. But he had Shirley with her. The strict National Security Bureau would not let him off the hook…
"No." Wayne shook his head." Another thing.”He was concise and did not want to talk about it. For some reason, he did not want Ni Yuying to know that he knew Ye Xiaozhou. Yes, he had made a big mistake about Li Xing 'er. However, the series of complicated events that happened later was the main reason why he left the National Security Bureau. Now, he didn't want to mention it. Three years had passed as long and depressing as three centuries.
"Don't talk about me. How about you? Are you alright?" Wayne's eyes were filled with concern, but it was unfamiliar to Ni Yuying. Because she saw an unknown emotion. Before this, she had always treated him as an older brother. It could be said that she also felt that he had always treated her as his younger sister. However, she only realized now that his gaze was not as complicated as before.
"Me?" "What can I do?" Ni Yuying smiled.”
Ni Yuying recalled that she had worked in a few internship units over the past three years. She had worked as a TV series planner, an editor in an online company, an editor and reporter in a magazine agency, and a small newspaper. She had even worked in a few small production teams, and she had almost been caught in an 'unspoken rule'…Ni Yuying smiled bitterly. Now, she was the director's assistant. She had put in a lot of effort in the work at hand, but the person who was often named as the director was not her. Instead, she was the boss who ordered her to do this and that. Are you alright? It was probably alright…
Ni Yuying shook her head and added some sugar and milk to the coffee." This coffee is too bitter…Speaking of which, I'm doing pretty well now. " I'm just a small editor with a monthly salary of just over 3,000 yuan. Compared to the three-digit internship fee back then, it can be said to be filled with the stench of money…" She laughed at herself. She liked to laugh at herself. Wayne also looked at her in surprise, as if he was not used to seeing her like this. In Wayne's memory, no matter what, wasn't Ni Yuying the confident girl who smiled at the spring breeze? However, only those who had experienced the pain would understand. It was difficult to describe the feeling. People would eventually change. However, Wayne was certain that Ni Yuying's eyes had not changed. They were as pure and innocent as his younger sister's! This was also the fatal reason why he could still remember her when he saw her again three years later. There was even an unknown emotion swimming in his body.
Xue Li was sitting on Ran Xusheng's lap and eating ice cream, but Ran Xusheng's eyes never left Wayne and Ni Yuying. At this moment, a familiar figure walked past him. Ran Xusheng frowned vigilantly.
"Uncle, I need to pee." Xue Li suddenly pouted. A child who was not even four years old was indeed troublesome. Ran Xusheng tried his best to be patient as he told Shirley," Go straight ahead and turn right. Do you recognize the sign for the restroom? Well, it's good that you do. Turn right and go in when you see the sign!"”Shirley was smart. She nodded at Ran Xusheng and jumped off his leg, walking slowly to the bathroom.
In an unnoticed corner not far from Wayne and Ni Yuying, Wu Zisong and a woman with long hair whose face could not be seen sat down. Ran Xusheng observed carefully. They all wanted tea. Wu Zisong wanted hot black tea while the girl wanted Pu 'er tea, 50 years old.
Wu Zisong sat down and looked at the girl opposite him with a complicated expression.
The girl was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but there were fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She was very fair, and under the ambiguous light, her snow-white skin was even more prominent, emitting an alluring transparent light. Ran Xusheng found an angle where he could see them clearly. With his back facing them, he ordered a cocktail and drank by himself.
"Ye Xiaozhou, how long are you going to torture me?”Wu Zisong said in a low voice. It was obvious that he was suppressing the emotions in his chest that were about to explode.
"Are you alright?" He did not expect the girl to speak so indifferently.
"What do you think?" Wu Zisong's words almost escaped his nostrils." I broke up with Ni Yuying. You know that I will choose to be with you, but what about you? Why did you leave? Where did you go? Do you know how sad I was when I thought of you leaving without saying goodbye these past few years?……”
"Wu Zisong, you know that we're all adults!”The girl named Ye Xiaozhou smiled heartlessly." Whether you break up with Ni Yuying or not is between you and her. It has nothing to do with me."”Seeing Wu Zisong's face suddenly turn gloomy, Ye Xiaozhou's tone was still as calm as water." I'm a free person. We're just classmates and friends. If we get closer, okay, I admit that I once liked you." But so what? I can't be your girlfriend just because you broke up with your girlfriend, right? Don't you think so?" Ye Xiaozhou's big innocent eyes sparkled. The smile on his lips was undoubtedly mocking in Wu Zisong's eyes. He was laughing at his stupidity, laughing at his foolishness, laughing at him being played by her…However, Wu Zisong still did not flare up.
"Why did you come back this time? You know that I haven't had a good time these past three years. You came back to make my life worse, didn't you?”Wu Zisong said mockingly," I'm just a cheap person. I don't know why I'm so cheap in front of you.”
"What about Ni Yuying? Aren't you cheap in front of him?" Ye Xiaozhou was still smiling gently, but the words he spat out still pierced Wu Zisong's heart.
Yes, it was. Wu Zisong also thought that he was actually quite cheap in front of Ni Yuying. However, Ni Yuying did not notice it herself, so she would not torture him even more.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Wu Zisong smiled. This smile hid his bitterness. Or perhaps, it was a probing tone.
Ye Xiaozhou remained indifferent.
"Me? Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" She elegantly sipped the Pu 'er tea in her cup." I'm just reminding you that you're not just that cheap in front of me…"
Wu Zisong was at a loss for words and his face turned red. However, Ye Xiaozhou laughed. It was a straightforward laugh, and it could even be said to be hearty. He even laughed until tears came out.
"Why me again?" He was so agitated by her that he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could get back to the topic.
"I heard that an international Hong Kong director has taken a fancy to you and wants to support you in making a movie?”Ye Xiaozhou had already taken out a box of cigarettes from his bag and lit it. The cigarettes were Captain's, chocolate flavored. In her memory, she liked 520 roses. Just as he was watching in a daze, he was pulled to reality by Ye Xiaozhou's mention of him wanting to make a movie.
"Changed the taste?" His gaze fell on her cigarette. He didn't know if he was glad or happy. He had always liked this brand of cigarettes.
"Can't I? Recently, a friend of mine is selling cigarettes, mainly this brand!”Ye Xiaozhou said unhurriedly. In her opinion, what she smoked depended on her mood. However, Captain's brand of cigarettes was an exception. She could not tell Wu Zisong about this secret.
"Has the female lead been decided?" As always, Ye Xiaozhou was more interested in his acting. Wu Zisong had also roughly guessed the reason why she had appeared again and found him.
Wu Zisong shook his head." Not yet…You know, I'm very picky about the female lead.”Looking at Ye Xiaozhou's rather ambiguous gaze, he felt a little uncomfortable." This time, it's a commercial movie with a relatively large investment. It's also a popular theme of gangs and gun fights. My ideal female lead must be pure and hot, and I don't want to use a big name. Before filming started, the publicity team had already announced that they were going to use a newcomer. So, our company is auditioning, but I'm not very satisfied with those who came out of the auditions…"
"You don't have a suitable person in your heart?……”Ye Xiaozhou was obviously testing him.
'Ni Yuying.' Wu Zisong almost blurted out these words, but he swallowed them back down. He stared at Ye Xiaozhou's smiling face in embarrassment. It was obvious that Ye Xiaozhou had thought of the same thing as him and asked this question on purpose.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Ye Xiaozhou suddenly moved closer to Wu Zisong, almost touching his face." Do you think I'm suitable?”Ye Xiaozhou sounded very serious.
Wu Zisong smiled." She's a little old."”
Ye Xiaozhou's face was a little embarrassed. In her memory, Wu Zisong had never said anything bad about her in front of her. It seemed that time had really made people very terrifying.
After thinking for a while, Wu Zisong suddenly put away his mischievous smile and said seriously," Little Zhou, do you really want to be in my scene? For you, I can change the script!”
Ye Xiaozhou couldn't help but nod, perhaps because he was touched. Wu Zisong's face also revealed a knowing smile. In his heart, she had always been the girl who guided and attracted him. It had never changed. He did not tell her because he felt that she should be able to understand him. Some words weren't spoken, but expressed through perception. As the saying went, silence was better than sound. Ye Xiaozhou and Wu Zisong had always used this method to express their feelings for each other.
On the other end, Ni Yuying and Wayne stood up, seemingly about to leave. Xue Li had also returned to Wayne's arms. Ye Xiaozhou and Wu Zisong also called the waiter, paid for the tea, and tipped the waiter. At the same time, they walked toward the door. As they passed each other, Ran Xusheng appeared out of nowhere and took Ni Yuying's hand and left in a hurry. Wayne, who was standing at the door, was facing Wu Zisong and Ye Xiaozhou.
Ye Xiaozhou looked at Wayne with eyes full of sparks, which made Wu Zisong feel very uncomfortable. In fact, he had long disliked this fellow.
"Are you alright?" Ye Xiaozhou spoke first.
Wayne smiled and nodded. Xue Li, who was in his arms, opened her eyes wide and shook her head. She shouted at Wu Zisong," Uncle, did you change auntie to play house again?……”Wu Zisong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned to look at Ye Xiaozhou. Who would have thought that Ye Xiaozhou didn't know what the child was talking about at all? He was only attracted by the cute doll.
Li Xing 'er's child?" He asked casually.
Wayne nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Xue Li."
"How old are you?"
The beautiful doll stretched out four white and fat fingers, then pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. That little smile looked very much like Wayne. As a result, Ye Xiaozhou was a little dazed.
"Good girl." Ye Xiaozhou muttered. Suddenly, he took out a piece of chocolate candy from his bag." Here, this is for you…"
"Aren't you going to thank Auntie?" Wayne finally opened his mouth.
"Thank you!" Little Shirley was as quiet as her father.
Ye Xiaozhou stared at Wayne's face for a while and then at Xue Li. He suddenly felt a little awkward. " I, I came back this time…" She still wanted to say something to Wayne, but was interrupted by him.
"It's already very late, and Xue Li is tired. We'll be leaving first…Say goodbye to Auntie!”Wayne hugged Xue Li. Xue Li was indeed so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting. She barely opened her mouth." Auntie, goodbye; Goodbye, Uncle!"
Little Shirley had just said goodbye when Wayne smiled at Ye Xiaozhou and Wu Zisong. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left their sight in a hurry.
Looking at Wayne's back, Ye Xiaozhou felt a little reluctant. That child was so beautiful, but it was Li Xing 'er's... Was it because if she had a child with Wei, she would definitely be prettier than the child named Shirley? Vaguely, a woman's natural jealousy began to wreak havoc. The unreasonable comparison made Ye Xiaozhou's face instantly contort. After a while, she smiled again. All of this fell into Wu Zisong's eyes, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"You came back for him?" It was as if he had drunk a few kilograms of Shanxi vinegar, and his entire body was sour.
"You know that." Ye Xiaozhou patted Wu Zisong's shoulder and pretended to be cool." No man can control me. I am who I am! I won't give up on myself for any man! Regardless of past, present, or future, I am Ye Xiaozhou!”
She had spoken so passionately for Wu Zisong, but it was more like she was speaking to herself. Ye Xiaozhou's heart ached for a few seconds. Only she knew that she was not as independent and free as she looked…
