Open hours

[Time point: Ning Jue's study abroad period]

"Dingxi! Happy birthday!"

As soon as the director finished speaking, there were enthusiastic cheers from all around, and a huge birthday cake was pushed in front of He Dingxi by the crew.

This cake has five layers, and each layer is decorated according to He Dingxi's classic works, and a fondant doll is placed on the top.

This doll is designed according to He Dingxi's appearance in the new movie. It is very delicate and cute, which shows that the crew put a lot of effort into it.

Under the booing of everyone, He Dingxi closed his eyes and made a wish, then lowered his head and blew out the candles in front of him.

Someone on the set asked curiously, "What wish did Mr. He make?"

He Dingxi raised his head and said with a smile, "Of course I wish our movie a big hit."

Today is He Dingxi's birthday. Due to work reasons, his birthday this year was spent in the crew again.

He Dingxi took the knife from the staff and cut the first knife on the cake together with the director.Looking back, the last time he celebrated his birthday in the crew was when he was filming "Suspended Seal".

Thinking of this, He Dingxi inevitably thought of Ning Jue.Ning Jue went to England alone after retiring from the circle, and now she has been studying abroad for more than a year.During this period, the two got together less and separated more, and hadn't seen each other for a while.

"Boss, boss?"

Qingqing noticed that He Dingxi was distracted, and reminded him twice.He Dingxi came back to his senses, turned around and handed the knife to her, and confessed: "Help me share the cake with everyone, I'll go out and make a phone call."

The two have been together for a long time, maybe they really have a heart-to-heart connection. He Dingxi was about to dial the number when Ning Jue called.

"get out of class is over?" He Dingxi picked up the phone, and his tone softened unconsciously when he saw the name jumping on the screen.

"No class today." Ning Jueyuan's voice from the other side of the ocean came from the other end of the phone. Ning Jue didn't know what he was busy with today, and his voice sounded a little tired: "The old lady left us to go abroad for academics, what are you busy with?"

The "old lady" in Ning Jue's mouth is his tutor. This little old lady is about to retire, she is serious in her daily life and is very strict with her students.

"We're on the set, there's a night scene tonight." The set was a bit noisy, He Dingxi nodded to greet the oncoming staff, and walked towards a secluded place alone.

What He Dingxi is currently shooting is a modern suspense movie, and the director is his old acquaintance.The shooting location of today's scene is a large themed playground, and He Dingxi will stage a life-and-death battle royale with the heroine in this romantic playground.

Ning Jue heard the movement from He Dingxi's side on the other end of the phone, and joked: "I still work overtime for my birthday, Mr. He is really dedicated."

"Do you still know that today is my birthday?" Since Ning Jue started the conversation, He Dingxi took advantage of the opportunity to find fault: "There is nothing that means I don't accept it."

Hearing this, Ning Jue laughed softly, and said, "I knew you would come here, so you come to the little labyrinth to the east of the studio now."

Under Ning Jue's guidance, He Dingxi soon came to the shrub maze.The bush walls of this maze are as high as a person, and it is impossible to see what is inside from the outside.There is nothing outside the maze, only the entrance is covered with colorful lights.

He Dingxi looked at these colorful lanterns purchased from the commodity wholesale market, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing?"

Ning Jue pretended to be mysterious and said, "Go in and have a look?"

He Dingxi guessed what Ning Jue had prepared. He has filmed nine if not ten idol dramas, and he has long been familiar with all kinds of industrial saccharine routines.But as long as he thinks of Ning Jue's deceiving tricks for him, his mood still jumps up.

He Dingxi enthusiastically followed the guidance of the colored lights, stopped and walked all the way, and soon came to the depths of the maze.After he turned a right-angled bend, a huge fountain suddenly appeared in front of him.

There is a statue of the Virgin in the center of the fountain, which looks quite chic on such a quiet night.

"How do you know such a place?" He Dingxi asked.

At this moment, all the lights around the fountain suddenly turned on, and the dots of light stretched into a sea of ​​stars.

The sound of water sounded, and the water column of the fountain reached the highest point in an instant.Various streams of water jumped and circled in the air for a while, and then fell down lavishly.

After the water splashed down, He Dingxi saw a palm-sized cake in front of the pool, and a music candle with a strong local flavor was inserted on the cake.Perhaps because the battery was dying, this candle sang a "Happy Birthday" out of tune.

Ning Jue's voice came from the phone: "He Dingxi, happy birthday."

"You're still doing all this stuff at an old age, you're not childish." He Dingxi said so, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.He walked quickly towards the fountain, and said as he walked, "Who arranged these for you? Xiaoye? Or Qingqing? To be honest, I will stop doing these little tricks after graduating from elementary school."

"Look, you can do it." Ning Jue didn't refute He Dingxi's words, but said with a smile: "Take a look back?"

He Dingxi was slightly taken aback, this time the voice came from behind him.He Dingxi turned his head suspiciously, and he saw Ning Jue standing behind him with a smile.

Ning Jue just stood quietly in the dense light, like an illusion formed by his longing day and night.

He Dingxi didn't know how he came to Ning Jue, and when he came back to his senses, he had already hugged her into his arms.

He Dingxi hugged the person in his arms tightly, lowered his head and took a deep breath, and said, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you won't come back until the Christmas holiday?"

Ning Jue put her arms around his waist, leaning her whole body on He Dingxi's body: "I miss you, I can't wait for the holiday."

He Dingxi laughed, and pretended to criticize: "Slick."

After careful calculation, the two of them have not been separated for too long. Two months ago, He Dingxi lived with Ning Jue in a small apartment in London for more than a week.

Ning Jue glanced at the precarious small candle on the cake, and let go of He Dingxi: "Come here and blow out the candle first."

As he spoke, he dragged He Dingxi to the fountain, where two big men squatted indistinctly by the pool, surrounded by a small cake that didn't look good.

He Dingxi looked at the music candle that was about to run out of electricity, and teased Ning Jue: "Why is your birthday greeting always so shabby no matter what time it is?"

"It's good if you have it." Ning Jue glanced at He Dingxi, his eyes seemed to dislike him for being blessed and ignorant of his blessings: "I came here as soon as I got off the plane, didn't I have no time to prepare? Even the cakes are at the airport I bought it from Star B Kerry." Then, Ning Jue carefully picked up the small cake and held it in front of He Dingxi, looking at him seriously: "Make a wish."

Ning Jue held this small cake as if holding his heart.He Dingxi stared at Ning Jue behind the candlelight, and said, "I've already thought about my birthday wish for this year."

Ning Jue asked, "Oh? What is it?"

He Dingxi said: "I will spend every birthday with you in the future."

"It's not easy." The candlelight gradually went out, and the smile on Ning Jue's face was extraordinarily gentle: "I promise you."

The next scene was He Dingxi's scene. After cutting the birthday cake on the set, He Dingxi disappeared.The scene manager Xiao Li walked around the set, but couldn't find anyone.

Finally, he came to He Dingxi's RV outside the venue and knocked on the door politely: "Mr. He, the next one is coming to you."

After a while, He Dingxi's voice came from the car: "Okay, come right away."

"Okay, there is still some time, don't worry." After receiving He Dingxi's reply, Xiao Li left with peace of mind.

Seeing Xiao Li's figure disappear around the corner, He Dingxi withdrew his gaze: "Relax, I'm already gone." As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Ning Jue's sweaty forehead, and said in a low voice, "Ning Jue , you... hold me tight."

Under the double attack of the stranger's sudden visit and He Dingxi's off-kilter nonsense, Ning Jue couldn't bear it any longer, and let out an undetectable sound from his throat.

He Dingxi kissed Ning Jue's mouth at the right time, making the secret moan completely disappear in the car.

The cold leather seat kept stimulating Ning Jue's nerves, his heartbeat hadn't calmed down from the surprise attack just now.Ning Jue was so angry at He Dingxi's audacity, he bit He Dingxi's lip hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly get out, you're not done yet?"

He Dingxi ignored Ning Jue's words, leaned over and hugged this person tightly, but took a step forward: "Of course, you promised to spend every birthday with me every year."

As soon as Ning Jue got into the car, He Dingxi peeled him into a boiled egg, but He Dingxi himself was well-dressed, even his tie was not messed up.Ning Jue was worried about staining He Dingxi's costume, and didn't dare to leave marks on his skin, so he could only look up at the overhead lights on the roof of the car, and turned his back on the spot: "I didn't agree Let's live like this."

He Dingxi lowered his head and rubbed Ning Jue's face, saying: "I don't care, if you agree, you agree, and I have the final say on how to proceed."

He Dingxi doesn't want to leave Ning Jue's side for a moment now, but the reality doesn't allow it.After everything was over, he simply helped Ning Jue tidy up, then reached out for his long down jacket, and wrapped Ning Jue tightly.

He Dingxi carefully pulled the zipper of the down jacket to the top, and smoothed out the furry hat behind Ning Jue, and said to him, "I'm done with this job, just stay in the car and wait for me to go home together."

The space in the car was too small to use, and Ning Jue was so tired that his calves started to turn sour.He raised his eyelids and glanced at He Dingxi, and said angrily: "Go, go, or the media will say that you are playing big cards again."

Seeing that time was running out, He Dingxi did not delay any longer.After a few more instructions to Ning Jue, he opened the door and got out of the car to leave.

After He Dingxi got off the car, Ning Jue sat up and looked out of the window, through the dark glass that was transparent on one side, he stared at He Dingxi's back in rapt attention,

There is actually another reason for Ning Jue to return to China this time.A few months ago, he was approached for a film project, and the director was Wang Yusheng, whom he liked very much.This movie is a very good resource for Ning Jue at this stage.

But Ning Jue felt that he was not fully prepared yet, and he did not forget the promise he made to fans when he announced his retirement.On the one hand, Ning Jue feels that he is not yet capable of leading the charge alone, and on the other hand, he is also a little worried that the entertainment industry will update and iterate quickly. If he returns after completing his studies, he may never come back again.

At this moment, He Dingxi, who had gone far away, suddenly turned his head, as if he had noticed Ning Jue's gaze, he turned and walked towards him.

Ning Jue knew that He Dingxi couldn't see him, so he watched him approaching him step by step through the car window.

Soon He Dingxi came to the front of the car and stood still. He bent down, stretched out two fingers, and lightly tapped on the car glass.

Ning Jue slowly rolled down the car window and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Dingxi stood outside the car, looked at him with a smile and said, "I forgot to kiss you before leaving."

Ning Jue stretched out his hand to grab He Dingxi's tie without laughing, pulled him closer to her, raised his head and kissed him tenderly on the lips.

He Dingxi reached out to caress the back of his head, deepening the kiss.After the kiss fell, He Dingxi looked at his own reflection in Ning Jue's eyes, and said to him: "Do what you want to do, go forward boldly, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you to come back."
