Can't fly

The press conference also asked other questions, such as what Fang Fei has done these years.

Won the title of Golden Olive Actor at a young age, then fell silent and never acted in another play.It was later revealed that the temperament was completely different from when filming "Absurd Stories", becoming cold and alienated.

This itself is like the plot of a movie, but Fang Fei tactfully used his studies to avoid the answer that the reporters wanted to hear.

The reporter asked persistently: "Why don't you continue to make movies after graduation? As far as I know, many projects have not continued to show cooperation intentions after contacting you. Is there any hidden secret in this?"

Feeling suddenly on pins and needles, Fang Fei has no doubt that the reporter asked on purpose.

"Because I was very tired at the time..."

"Please don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the movie." Next to him, Yang Yuanyi cut off his clumsy cover-up and looked at the reporter, "Banana video? I'm sorry, I don't remember inviting you."

Immediately, two security guards surrounded him, and the reporter smiled, but Fang Fei was not forced.

Fang Fei breathed a sigh of relief while sitting in his seat.

At the end of the press conference, no one asked about the reason why he suspected of quitting the entertainment industry and came back to filming, nor asked the truth about Cao Xinran's replacement that everyone cared about.As for the latter, even people like Xu Mu and Chang Huaiyu who are fairly familiar with Yang Yuanyi kept silent, as if this person had never participated in it from beginning to end.

After the end, Fang Fei didn't go to Xu Muzan's game.

He was stared at by He Xiaoshi, and there was a commercial shooting later in the day, so he needed to work non-stop.

This is also Fang Fei's first initiative to come to him for cooperation in several years. He Xiaoshi feels that the traffic is starting to cash in, and he has a lot of love for him. He not only hired a female college student as an assistant for Fang Fei, but also personally supervised his important announcements.

With He Xiaoshi here, Fang Fei's contact with Yang Yuanyi was also forced to decrease.

He started to get busy. In addition to commercials, there are also some fashion events that approach him because of his excellent performance on the Golden Rose red carpet, brand cooperation, variety show invitations... As long as the movie has not officially started, Fang Fei can't just turn it down. .At this stage, he needs to accumulate resources and contacts, and He Xiaoshi will handle these.

There are fewer meetings, it's not like they haven't met before, and the result is that the two of them are drifting away.

Cao Xinran planted a thorn in Fang Fei's heart. He half-pushed and half-worked, guessing that he would repeat the same mistakes this time, thinking that Yang Yuanyi would be equally indifferent.

Fang Fei even did psychological training. If Yang Yuanyi finds someone else to replace him like Cao Xinran because he hasn't seen each other for a long time and is disobedient, then he may be sad, but not necessarily hysterical.

But when the content in the chat box became more and more, Fang Fei took a moment to pick out a little between the lines...

"You are so busy recently that you don't come to see me."

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what Yang Yuanyi said, but he just typed it out so frankly, and arranged naturally at the back: "Come over after today is over, I found a movie for you to watch together."

This is different from dependence. Yang Yuanyi only likes generous orders, and even makes requests with a proud tone of course, as if Fang Fei really doesn't go, and he has nothing to lose.The tone was just right for Fang Fei's most sensitive hobby, Yang Yuanyi was not acting like a baby, he bet that Fang Fei could not refuse him, and he was not defeated.

This time too, Fang Fei turned down the evening dinner with his new partner, and rushed to the Xincheng mansion after the interview.

Watching a movie was just an excuse. As soon as he entered the door, Yang Yuanyi told him to take a bath.

With the blackout curtains drawn tightly, the home theater room seems to be isolated from the world, leaving only the bright light of the screen.Fang Fei was wearing Yang Yuanyi's clothes, and was pulled by him to lean against him.

I thought it was another obscure black-and-white literary film, but as soon as the bright colors emerged, Fang Fei found that he still didn't know Yang Yuanyi very well.

On the screen, the male and female protagonists hug each other inseparably.

But in reality, Yang Yuanyi hooked Fang Fei's shoulders, caressed his collarbone through his clothes, and ignited sparks all the way.

Fang Fei didn't know how to spend these two hours, Yang Yuanyi seldom spoke, and even if he did, he coaxed him to "be good", "Leave it to me", and "don't move your legs around".Yang Yuanyi kissed him almost all over his body, just like the protagonist in the movie, the bright light from the screen reflected the outline of Fang Fei's body, he was breathing heavily, tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Being hugged, with his back to the screen, Fang Fei could only hear the undisguised gasps from the speakers, part of which was covered up by the background music, which outlined the glamorous atmosphere so provocatively that he felt like he was in it.

Maybe he is indeed there, and the opposite actor is Yang Yuanyi.

They kissed a lot, and finally their tongues were numb, and the tactile sensation of entanglement gradually weakened, as if they had merged into one.Even though the curtain came to the end of the show, Yang Yuanyi didn't stop. He hugged Fang Fei, untied the tie that bound his hands, and the two of them fell on the carpet. He bowed his head and kissed the sweat off Fang Fei's neck.

His chest was heaving and unsteady, Yang Yuanyi pressed on him, pulled his clothes to cover Fang Fei's face.

He gently pressed his ear against Fang Fei's heartbeat, and closed his eyes.

"Afei." Yang Yuanyi was like talking in his sleep, "Afei, you can stay with me."

Several years later, recalling the movie about France in the 60s, that night, the frail Yang Yuanyi, Fang Fei can still feel the unprecedented heartbeat.

He seemed to have returned to the first night when he had a blind date with Yang Yuanyi and obtained unparalleled satisfaction.

At that moment, Fang Fei couldn't convince himself that Yang Yuanyi said this because of love, maybe a little, but he was still wary.The turmoil of changing roles cast a shadow over his unconditional obedience, and selfishness prevailed.

And selfishness cannot give way to love, love requires dedication.

He can't do it yet.

But he still said, "Okay."

Fang Fei couldn't remember whether he had slept that night, as if he had been hovering on the edge of waking, sensing breathing, hugging, and murmuring love words.But he couldn't open his eyes, lest the sensory feedback would run counter to reality.

This sleep was very tired and he didn't move his place. The next day Fang Fei woke up unexpectedly, and the surrounding was still dark.

Turning over, and then one leg directly touched the ground, Fang Fei was taken aback.His eyes adapted to the environment, and he stared in confusion for a while before realizing that he was actually sleeping on the sofa in the projection room, covered with a soft black blanket.The floor heating keeps the room at the optimum temperature of 26 degrees. Although it is already November, Fang Fei does not feel cold.

With a long sigh, he dragged his tired limbs to sit up, and turned on a small lamp on the table.

Warm yellow light filled the entire space, and the messy carpet from the night before was rubbed up and folded twice, and then fell to the corner to cover up.Fang Fei didn't dare to look too much, so he hurriedly picked up the clothes on the other side of the sofa and put them on, then looked around for the mobile phone, and finally found it on the lower side of the coffee table, with 1% battery remaining, ready to strike at any time.

East Eighth District, eleven o'clock in the morning.

There are more than 20 unread messages, but apart from He Xiaoshi's unnutritious official account, Fu Yicheng's concern, and my mother's repertoire "Good morning! May you be in a good mood!", it seems that there is nothing important.

Fang Fei thought about it, and he was right, he came to Yang Yuanyi only after he had arranged work early in the morning.

But where did Yang Yuanyi go?

It was a sunny day behind the heavy door of the projection room, Fang Fei was so shaken that he had to stand there for a while, tried to call "Teacher Yang", but got no response for a while.

No one in the master bedroom, no kitchen, no living room.

Fang Fei quickened his pace towards the last place, stopped in front of the tightly closed study room, just raised his hand to knock, the solid wooden door opened from inside without warning, his posture of stopping was dull and funny.

A short distance away, a woman with exquisite make-up has obvious facial features of mixed blood, and she also has doubts on her face, but she doesn't look at him, and turns her head to ask the person inside.

"Hey, why did you stay overnight yesterday?" Her tone was as natural as a master's.

Yang Yuanyi finally appeared, and belatedly walked from the two rows of bookshelves to the door.First grabbing Fang Fei's wrist and pulling him in, Yang Yuanyi raised his chin towards the desk: "Go and drink some water."

Fang Fei said yes, saw the glass, picked it up, and turned his back to Yang Yuanyi intently.

The conversation behind him didn't avoid him because of this.

Fortunately, the topic has nothing to do with him.

"You are always on his side." The woman said sadly, "This time he wants to divorce me, and you don't persuade him."

Yang Yuanyi said: "He won't really leave."

"Come on!" the woman snorted, "You'll only speak for him! Let me tell you, Yang Yuanyi, I'm not afraid of him. We've all agreed to go our separate ways. If we insist on a divorce, it's not embarrassing. I am the owner of his Chen family."

"Your tone reminds me of my mother."

The woman laughed, and the sadness just now was swept away again: "Really? Then I will still live the most annoying way."

Yang Yuanyi also smiled.

"I won't bother you today. I have an appointment at noon. What about new Chinese molecular cuisine, oh, it's very complicated. If it's delicious, I recommend it to you. Go and swipe Chen Yusheng's card!" After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and changed to a With an ambiguous tone, "You take the children to eat, don't always hide them at home, they are so beautiful, I was just startled—"

"Grandma! Let's go!" Yang Yuanyi pushed her out helplessly.

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the marble floor sprinkled all the way to the door, and with the sound of the lock, the house returned to silence.

"A Fei." He broke the silence, "It's okay, she's gone."

There was no shortage of water in the glass, Fang Fei turned his head.

Yang Yuanyi finally didn't wear black today, but also a light gray hooded sweater, sweatpants, barefoot slippers, one high and one low trousers.This attire made him much younger, even more handsome than five years ago. Last night, Fang Fei didn't have time to take a closer look. Only then did Fang Fei realize that his hair had also grown, with slightly curly ends, piled up in the hollow of his neck.

Standing obediently beside Yang Yuanyi, Fang Fei asked: "The one just now was..."

"My sister, Yang Wanyi. It was she who asked me to accompany Luo Qiaoan in filming with the group." Yang Yuanyi took the glass, took a sip, and rubbed the back of Fang Fei's neck, "My dear, she was 10 minutes older."

Fang Fei was really surprised: "Dragon twins?"

"It doesn't look like it, right?" Yang Yuanyi pulled him to look at a group photo on the desk, "I look more like my mother."

In the photo, Yang Yuanyi was wearing a bachelor's uniform, with his elder sister on his side, and his parents on both sides. The family happily took a group photo with the scientific research building of a university's School of Management as the background.

Fang Fei looked at Yang Yuanyi's appearance in his twenties: "I thought you used to study literature or journalism."

"My mother's request." Yang Yuanyi didn't want to mention it obviously, he put the photo frame upside down on the table, "Look at other things, don't keep staring at it."

The desk is large, and this photo frame makes Fang Fei look at the side that he doesn't usually pay attention to.

Several photo frames, transparent, with simple lines and unclear boundaries, are placed together in a random manner.Yang Yuanyi should like to collect the important moments for him. Fang Fei glanced over and saw many selfies from different angles - using a tripod to frame people, scenery and things, freeze them, and keep them forever.

"In East Africa, Ethiopia." Yang Yuanyi followed Fang Fei's gaze and explained, "I was studying film with an Italian teacher. He made documentaries and filmed animal migrations in the dry season. We stayed there for six months."

"France, this is my first short film, and the leading actor was randomly drawn from a nearby crew."

"Tuscany, later when Shen Jun was filming a movie, he was going there to shoot scenes, and he even asked me for a guide and local transportation contact information. That place is really beautiful, I will take you there when I have time."

He is ten years older than Fang Fei, and the years are very partial to him, which doesn't make him overwhelmed by life, on the contrary, he has a mature charm.

The endless introduction suddenly stopped when he touched a photo. Fang Fei didn't hear the follow-up for a long time. He lowered his head and found that the photo was just an ordinary garden.

It would have been June, and the hydrangeas were in bloom, and there was a party in the garden, and the faces of men and women were youthful.

Fang Fei noticed the girl in the white shirt at the very edge of the photo. She was not too old, but she was beautiful, quiet, elegant, and indescribably indifferent.She stared at the hydrangea in a daze, instead of looking at the camera like everyone else.

"...that's my sister's friends in the orchestra." Yang Yuanyi was silent for a while, and then said flatly, "Her birthday, please invite other people to come to the house to play. She asked me to take a photo for everyone. It was a good one. She took them all away, but somehow this one stayed, I think it’s okay, so I’ve kept it until now.”

"Band?"

"The orchestra is from the city." Yang Yuanyi smiled, "My sister's flute is pretty good."

Fang Fei still wanted to ask—he was full of curiosity about Yang Yuanyi when he was in his 20s—but Yang Yuanyi's next sentence quickly diverted his attention: "A Fei, look, you are here."

He said "ah", and saw Yang Yuanyi pointing to a 6-inch photo next to the stand.

Fang Fei was speechless.

At the Golden Olive Awards Ceremony, his proudest and most embarrassing highlight moment, Yang Yuanyi did not know where to photograph him.At that time, he said a lot of things, thanking this and that, but he didn't have the courage to name and thank Yang Yuanyi.

Fang Fei's heart rate started to beat again, and it seemed that he didn't need to confirm what he said last night.

He was incoherent, and finally asked: "...Why did you shoot this?"

"I don't know." Yang Yuanyi thought for a while, "I don't know."

"..."

"You told the reporter that day that you were very tired after filming and didn't want to continue." Yang Yuanyi asked, "Why are you tired?"

"I don't know." Fang Fei used his answer just now.

After Yang Yuanyi was quiet for a long time, he said, "I regret it a bit."

But what do you regret?

Didn't you ask a few more questions?Or did they break up happily at that time?

What's the use of asking more?

It would only make Fang Fei's situation more difficult at that time.

Fang Fei shook his head: "It's nothing, I deserve it."

He chose to kiss Yang Yuanyi, and any consequences would be borne by him.

He and Yang Yuanyi started on absurd rainy nights. In the first days, they always met in the dim early morning and made love in a hurry. After the sun came out, they pretended to be ordinary colleagues of the crew, using the camera and eyes to bury the dark tide.

Xing Tao's dream has been fulfilled, he should come out, sooner or later.

Only the first time is called a chance encounter, as Yang Yuanyi said, he only likes long-planned encounters.

So Yang Yuanyi loves him, maybe it's an extremely low probability event like a comet hitting the earth.

It sounds unbelievable, but maybe one day it will become a reality.
