Eternal flower

Chapter 22

"Qing Xun came to terminate the contract." Lin Fan in the office of the production department said to Jiang Li on the phone.

"Why this time again?!"

"What did you say that the film was delayed for too long in the early stage, and the later schedules are all full, so I can't move it."

"You wait for me to come down."

Not long after being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Li returned to the company, unexpectedly hearing such news again.

Jiang Li pushed open the door of the office, and found the director of the production department, Lin Fan, Qing Xun and her assistant, the four of them looked at each other and were at loggerheads.

"Please go out first, everyone, I want to have a private talk with our heroine."

After they walked out, Jiang Li sat opposite Qing Xun: "Why do you have to terminate the contract?"

"Didn't you say it clearly before?"

"First you were dissatisfied with everything, but now you don't have time, right?"

Qing Xun stared at Jiang Li, feeling a little haggard on her face.

"You are not a person who demands a lot." Jiang Li lowered her head, "Are you dissatisfied with everything, or are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Yes, I'm just dissatisfied with you." Qing Xun felt that Jiang Li looked up at her, like a child who didn't know what mistake he had made. "The heroine in the script is not like me, that person is me at all! Don't you have anything to say to me? Screenwriter."

Jiang Li was stunned, "Is this the reason? I didn't tell you specifically, didn't you see it too? Besides, I remember I told you." I told you many years ago, didn't I?

During the 2012 holiday, Jiang Li went to Hong Kong for a business trip due to Jiahe's work, and sometimes went to Qingxun to watch them film TV dramas.In addition to work, Jiang Li visited the set in his spare time and brought food to Qing Xun.

One night, Qing Xun and Jiang Li lived together in the business suite of the hotel.After nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Li and Qing Xun sat on the sofa watching TV together after washing.

"Aren't I acting well? You're stunned." Qing Xun looked at Jiang Li while watching TV.

"No... I'm looking at the man who kissed you. Did he... stick out his tongue?!"

After hearing this, Qing Xun threw the pillow on Jiang Li's body: "Who told you to watch this?!"

"So... stretched?"

Qing Xun leaned over and pinched Jiang Li's face: "No! I met someone sticking out his tongue once! And you saw it! Think about it, I still have a lingering feeling of nausea."

"Oh...then do you have someone you like now?" Jiang Li didn't know why she asked such a question, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the last topic.

Qing Xun returned to her previous position and stared at her. "Yes, I have a crush."

Jiang Li only felt his heart sink: "Do you still have someone you have a crush on?? Is it someone close to you?"

"Yeah, why can't I have a crush?"

"Who wouldn't like you? Unless he's blind!"

"Yes, I also think he is blind."

"What are you guys talking about so late, it's time to go to bed. I have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to put on makeup, Qing Xun." The manager who knocked on the door from outside said in a serious tone.

"I feel like Lu Zheng wants to tear me apart every time he sees me?"

"He is like this, he looks very fierce, but he is still a good person."

"Hey, don't you..."

"Don't think about it, everyone else is already married and has children."

Jiang Li nodded, with an expression that we can't do that.As soon as the words were finished, there was another knock on the door, and even without saying anything, he knew it was Lu Zheng who killed them back to their carbine.

"Got it! We're ready to go to bed!" After finishing speaking, Qing Xun tremblingly turned off the TV and signaled Jiang Li to go back to their respective bedrooms.

After eleven o'clock, Jiang Li tossed and turned on the bed, repeating Qing Xun's words in her mind, I have a crush, and I just feel complicated.Suddenly Qing Xun came in, quietly lay beside Jiang Li, and whispered, "Hey, are you sleepy?"

Jiang Li saw Qing Xun next to her. She was not sleepy at first, and she was even more so now, so she shook her head.

"How about we..." Qing Xun pointed outside with his finger.Then the two changed their clothes, tiptoed out of the hotel through the corridor, and walked to the street, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked in the bustling and narrow Hong Kong night market, surrounded by stalls, colorful and crowded.The attention of the two was also attracted by various things around them.

"Wow, this is delicious." Jiang Li bought curry fish balls, egg waffles and milk tea from the side of the road.

"Give me a bite."

"It's so late, can you eat? Female star?"

"What female star, feed me quickly."

Unable to bear Qing Xun's longing eyes, Jiang Li picked a fish egg and put it in her mouth, then buried herself in eating the egg waffle.Unknowingly, Zhong Qingxun leaned over, his eyes focused on the egg waffles in the paper bag.

With their heads buried, they were eating snacks in a paper bag at the same time. They were so close that they could see each other's eyes as soon as they raised their heads, and could clearly feel each other's breathing.When Qing Xun raised her head, her nose accidentally touched the tip of Jiang Li's nose, and then she ruthlessly laughed at her: "Why did you eat so much that your face turned red?"

"The weather is a bit hot. But, you eat so much that you are afraid that your skirt will not be able to zip up for filming tomorrow..."

"Then you can exercise with me."

Jiang Li thought to herself, it's so late, we two, why do we exercise?Until passing the hotel's outdoor swimming pool.Qing Xun reached out to her: "Give me your phone and wallet."

Qing Xun put both of their belongings on the table next to them, and then approached Jiang Li who was standing by the pool step by step. "I want to ask you a question."

"what?"

Qing Xun got closer and closer, and had already put her face next to Jiang Li. "are you……"

Jiang Li felt her heart beating so fast, she subconsciously took a step back, and it turned out...

It fell into the water with a thud.

"What are you hiding..." Qing Xun looked helplessly at Jiang Li who fell into the water, only to see that she was thumping in the water as if she couldn't swim.Then Qing Xun immediately jumped down, and just when she was about to swim to her side, Jiang Li swam to the shore at a faster speed... Qing Xun immediately asked her after getting out of the water: "You can swim?!"

"How could it be that you can't swim? You're so naive." In order to resolve the embarrassment, Jiang Li played a prank, then immediately walked out of the swimming pool and rushed back to the room.After taking a shower, he took out the small notebook in his bag, sat by the bed and began to write.

All of a sudden, he felt someone sticking to his back.

"what are you writing?"

Qing Xun's gentle voice came from behind.

"The script."

"You? Write a script? Why?"

"Didn't you always say that the most regrettable thing is that you have never encountered a particularly exciting script?"

"How long have you been writing?"

"It's been a long time, and I don't write every day."

Jiang Li felt the softness behind her, and Qing Xun leaned her cheek against her ear.

She immediately closed the book in her hand, "It's too late, you go to bed first, you should get up again soon."

"Okay..." Qing Xun returned to her room unwillingly.

Qing Xun, who was confronting Jiang Li in the office, instantly remembered the previous scene.From the perspective of the script, I really have no reason to blame her, and even feel very moved.but……

"I have explained the reason very clearly. According to the normal schedule, the filming should have come to an end, but according to the current schedule, it has hardly started, and the schedule that has been scheduled later cannot be adjusted."

"Okay, I get it." The feeling in Jiang Li's heart could hardly be described as loss, it was almost a feeling of sadness and despair. "I'm preparing to terminate the contract here, and you can come back to sign in two days."

Qing Xun nodded and walked out of the office.

Watching Jiang Li walk back to the office dejectedly, sitting at the desk seems to have lost his soul.Lin Fan felt a little worried, and followed her after get off work. Sure enough, Jiang Li didn't ask the driver to take her off, nor did she drive herself, but took a taxi on the side of the road.Lin Fan took a taxi and followed her all the way, only to find that she was going to a bar.

Lin Fan who entered the bar quickly lost Jiang Li's way among the crowd, but she knew in her heart that Jiang Li should not be allowed to drink, so she searched everywhere, but she was nowhere to be seen.I vaguely remembered that Jiang Li didn't like places with many people.So Lin Fan went to the box next to each other to look for them.

When she found Jiang Li, she was already drunk on the sofa, unconscious, with cigarettes and wine beside her.

Lin Fan walked over angrily and pulled her up: "You don't want to die?" But he found that the corners of Jiang Li's eyes seemed to be wet. "Why do you humiliate yourself like this?!" After speaking, he helped Jiang Li and walked out.After getting a taxi, Lin Fan asked her if she needed to go to the hospital and where she was going back.

"Zitong Road..."

Hearing what Jiang Li was saying, Lin Fan said to the driver: "Master, go to Zitong Road." Lin Fan watched Jiang Li lying on his lap, brushed her hair away with his hands, and looked at her calmly .

When Lin Fan helped Jiang Li into the villa, he vaguely heard Jiang Li say: "Don't turn on the light."

"It's so late and you don't turn on the lights in such a big house?" Lin Fan only thought that she was talking in sleep, and turned on all the lights he could see. "Which one is your bedroom?" Lin Fan looked confused when he saw several rooms upstairs.Jiang Li pointed to the room on the left, Lin Fan opened the door and turned on the light, and helped her onto the bed.

Looking at the huge room and Jiang Li lying on the bed, the house is spotlessly clean, and the surrounding area is so empty that there is not even a photo.Thinking of her in the small apartment in the CBD again... Lin Fan seemed to understand why Jiang Li wanted to live in a small house.

Qing Xun, who was sitting in her bedroom, was surprised to see that all the lights on the opposite side were turned on. Thinking about it, it had been a long time since she had seen the lights on the opposite side, and Jiang Li probably hadn't gone back to live in it for a long time.Could this abnormality be some special signal from Jiang Li?Or is it a thief?Qing Xun went downstairs to the door of the nearby villa, rang the doorbell, but it was Lin Fan who came out to answer the door.

"Why are you?" The two said almost in unison.

"Is Jiang Li in there?" Qing Xun asked.

"exist."

"Can I go in first?"

Lin Fan opened the door and led Qing Xun to the bedroom, and the two looked at Jiang Li who was drunk and lying on the bed.

"What happened to her?" Qing Xun asked Lin Fan suspiciously.

"I don't know. It has been abnormal for a while. I lost contact a few days ago. I suddenly called and was hospitalized because of gastric perforation. I asked me to sign for her. It was only two days after I was discharged from the hospital, and I went to the bar today Smoking and drinking." Lin Fan glanced at Qing Xun, "Do you know what she said the first time she saw me in the hospital?" Lin Fan couldn't help but choked up, "She said she found a suitable location. "

"A movie?"

Lin Fan nodded, "I don't understand why this guy insists on asking you to act, and why you insist on resigning."

Qing Xun felt an inexplicable heartache. "Why don't you go back first, I live nearby, I'll take care of her."

"It's so late... I can't seem to get a taxi."

"That's right, it's not convenient if it's too late, you can just stay here for one night." After speaking, Qing Xun led Lin Fan to a side sleeper, "Can I just stay here?"

"You know the structure here very well?"

"We are in the same community and the same type of villas are similar..." Qing Xun found that Jiang Li didn't tell Lin Fan about their relationship, and out of an inexplicable tacit understanding, he didn't say much either.
