Open hours

[Time point: Ning Jue has just returned to China not long ago]

Qingqing came to the boss's office with a cardboard box in her arms, and knocked gently on the door.

Soon, He Dingxi's voice came from inside the door: "Please come in."

After Qingqing entered the door, she saw He Dingxi sitting at the desk and flipping through documents.The big boss, Xie Sizhao, was sitting faceless on the office chair opposite He Dingxi, with a laptop on his lap, wondering what he was busy with.

Not only is He Dingxi's position in the industry not what it used to be, but Xie Sizhao has become much calmer after being hammered in the mall for several years.

"Brother Dingxi, Mr. Xie." Qingqing greeted the two of them briefly, and then placed the carton on He Dingxi's desk.

"What is this?" Xie Sizhao poked his head out from behind the computer. Today, he found a pair of thin-rimmed glasses and put them on his nose. He looked quite successful.

"These are all the letters Ding Xige has received since his debut, written by fans." Qingqing explained from the side: "Preparing for the debut special."

It has been many years since He Dingxi made his debut, and this year the company plans to shoot a debut commemorative documentary for him.This documentary will use fan letters as an introduction, leading to various branches.

He Dingxi does not accept expensive gifts, but he can receive letters.Since his debut, he has kept all the letters sent by fans.With the development of his career, these letters also moved with him several times.

The box on the table was initially "selected" by Qingqing from the letters in the room, and they will then find out some content that fits the theme of this time to create.

"Let the colleagues from the planning team come in and take a look." He Dingxi put down the documents in his hand, took out a stack of envelopes from the box, and placed them on the table one by one.

Xie Sizhao also leaned forward with great interest. Some of the letters were quite old, and the pages were starting to turn yellow and brittle.

At this time, a postcard on the desktop attracted He Dingxi's attention. He picked out this postcard from a pile of colorful letter papers, held it in front of his eyes, and looked through it carefully.

Xie Sizhao glanced at the postmark, and said in a fuss, "It's terrible, Lao He, do you have fans in far away Europe?"

He Dingxi carefully studied the postcard in his hand, but did not speak.He noticed the postcard not because it had come across the ocean from Europe, but because of what was on it.

In addition to the former address of He Dingxi's studio, this postcard only left a simple line of words in the blank space, and there was no signature or sending address.

But He Dingxi recognized it at a glance, it was Ning Jue's handwriting.

Ning Jue wrote on the postcard: "Mr. He, thank you for taking me out tonight, I am very happy."

For a while, He Dingxi couldn't remember when Ning Jue sent him this postcard in Europe. It wasn't until he saw the town scenery printed on the front of the postcard that he remembered that this was the first time he and Ning Jue recorded a variety show together. place to go when.

At that time, the two were still working together on "Xuan Yin", and they left the group together to go to Europe to participate in a homestay management program during the filming of the film.After the last day of filming, He Dingxi and Ning Jue slipped out of the inn with the program team on their backs. The two took advantage of the night to wander around the town, and finally wrote postcards together by the fountain in the center of the square.

It turned out that his postcard was addressed to me at that time. Thinking of this, He Dingxi couldn't help laughing as if he had unintentionally dug up a treasure many years ago.

He picked up the phone beside him and sent Ning Jue a message.

The phone on the table vibrated, Ning Jue glanced at the screen, and saw that the message was from He Dingxi.

He Dingxi asked in WeChat: [Where are you? 】

Ning Jue picked up the phone and replied: [Ritz Carlton on Qingyuan Road, what's wrong? 】

After replying to He Dingxi's message, Ning Jue put the phone back on the table and looked up at the woman sitting opposite him.

This woman has curly dark brown hair. She has a gorgeous face and elegant manners. A camel-colored cashmere coat sets her off gracefully and luxuriously.

Ning Jue took a sip of the coffee on the table and asked, "How long will you stay this time?"

"Half a month." The woman pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and pushed a plate of pastries on the table to Ning Jue: "The red velvet cake in this hotel is pretty good, try it."

Ning Jue poked the cake with a small silver fork, but didn't eat it: "Is Alexzander back too?"

The woman was staring at Ning Jue intently. When she heard Ning Jue's question, she shook her head and said with a smile, "He's back. He's on a business trip in China, so I'll come back to see you by the way."

It turns out that the elegant lady in front of Ning Jue is his mother Ye Qing.After the death of his father, Ye Qingyuan went to a foreign land, and the mother and son never saw each other again.

Ning Jue picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, but didn't answer.Ye Qing looked at Ning Jue, his eyes were still as gentle as water.

After a while, she suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back to America with me?"

Ning Jue paused, put down the fork in his hand, and asked, "What am I going to America for?"

"I heard that you have recently encountered a bottleneck in your career. You also know the domestic market. It's not easy to make a comeback. It just so happens that Alexzander has some resources in the United States." Ye Qing tentatively put his hand on the back of Ning Jue's and said : "Mom just doesn't trust you to stay here alone...it's better to change the environment and start over."

In fact, what Ye Qing said is not wrong. After Ning Jue returned from studying abroad, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the circle, and the top stream has been rotated for several rounds.

After Ning Jue's comeback, he quickly joined several crews. Although it can't be said that he was without splashes, his current popularity is far less than when he was popular.

While the two were talking, Ning Jue's phone screen lit up again, and He Dingxi said: [Today I found another evidence that you love me hard to say. 】

Ning Jue didn't know what stupid things He Dingxi was talking about, and was about to reply, when a new message appeared on the screen again: 【Go home for dinner tonight? 】

Because of Ye Qing's relationship, Ning Jue's mood is not too good at the moment, but these two inexplicable messages from He Dingxi made his brows relax.

He calmly withdrew his hand from Ye Qing's palm, slid the screen away, and replied with a smile: 【Okay. 】

It is not polite to send frequent messages when talking with others. Ning Jue put down the phone and filled the cup in front of Ye Qing, "I'm fine now, I won't go to America with you." Ning Jue put the teapot in his hand Putting it down, I looked up at Ye Qing: "Besides, after my father passed away, I have come through the most difficult years. Although my career is at a low point now, I am living a very happy life."

Although Ning Jue's few words were understated, they all pierced Ye Qing's heart.She looked at Ning Jue, her eyes gradually began to moisten: "Xiao Jue, have you been blaming Mom?"

Ye Qing and Ning Zhiyuan have known each other since childhood, and they love each other deeply.After Ning Zhiyuan's death, Ye Qing couldn't face this reality, let alone the "instigator" Ning Jue, so he chose to flee to a strange country, and never cared about his son ever since.

It wasn't until recent years, under the comfort of time, that she came out of the shadow of losing her beloved.

"No, I can understand you." Ning Jue didn't lie to Ye Qing, he really didn't complain to her.But after so many years of blankness in front of the two, the mother and son will never be able to return to the past.

At this point, Ning Jue didn't want to make Ye Qing more sad, so he changed the subject: "Is Alexzander treating you well?"

Mentioning Alexzander, a smile appeared on Ye Qing's face immediately: "He loves me very much."

Ning Jue nodded and said with a smile, "That's good."

The distant and polite conversation between mother and son came to an end soon, Ning Jue and Ye Qing got up and left the coffee shop together.Ye Qing stayed in this hotel during this time, and out of courtesy, Ning Jue sent her to the elevator.

Just as the two passed by the hotel lobby, Ning Jue saw a person sitting on the sofa in the lobby.The man was wearing a black overcoat, and the scarf around his neck covered most of his face.He obviously saw Ning Jue not far away, put down the magazine in his hand, and waved to Ning Jue.

Ye Qing glanced at that person and asked Ning Jue: "Is he the reason you stay here?"

Ning Jue looked at He Dingxi and nodded, "En."

Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a little relieved, she took the coat from Ning Jue and said to him: "Go, don't send it away, don't make people wait for a long time."

He Dingxi knew who the lady next to Ning Jue was, he didn't rush forward to interrupt their conversation, but sat on the sofa and waited for Ning Jue to come over.

Soon, Ning Jue ended the conversation, turned around and walked towards him.

"Why are you here?" Ning Jue came to He Dingxi and asked.

He Dingxi stood up, he didn't ask anything about Ye Qing, but said: "Come to pick you up, and go to the supermarket by the way."

Ning Jue waved at Ye Qing and said something, then turned around and asked with a puzzled face: "What are you doing in the supermarket?"

"Of course I'm going to buy groceries." He Dingxi showed an expression of "what kind of stupid question is this", took off the scarf on his shoulders and wrapped it around Ning Jue's neck, and asked casually: "What do you want to eat tonight? "

"Then I have to think about it." Ning Jue took He Dingxi's hand naturally, turned and walked out: "Today I gave up the chance to enter Hollywood because of you."

"I can't afford this loss." He Dingxi followed Ning Jue's footsteps, and said beside him: "All my belongings are not worth as much as me, so I can only promise it with my body. You can see it."

It's rare that Ning Jue didn't bargain with him this time, and agreed without hesitation: "That's the deal."

Speaking, Ning Jue put He Dingxi's hand into his coat pocket.

It was cold and windy outside the door, but Ning Jue's palm was dry and warm.

Before walking out of the hotel gate, He Dingxi looked back at Ning Jue's mother.Ye Qing stood where he was, smiled and nodded towards him.
