14 years time difference

There was a rapid burst of shutters under the sycamore tree across the street.

Lin Zhique turned his head and saw three or four young girls who were standing there empty-handed just now, each holding a SLR in their hands, as if they had conjured them out of thin air.

Chen Jia stood on the steps at the entrance of the villa building, and helplessly shouted to the opposite side of the street: "If you do this again, I will be angry."

The girls were smiling, and one of them asked loudly, "Sister, who is this sister? I haven't seen her before. Is it a new staff? You can't secretly fall in love behind our backs."

Chen Jia stopped talking to them, Lin Zhique entered the room, and she closed the door directly.

"Illegitimate meal".Lin Zhique had heard about it a little bit.

It refers to crazy fans who pay too much attention to the idol's private life, and even try to spy on the idol's private space.

Chen Jia lowered her head and did not look into Lin Zhique's eyes when she spoke, "There is no need to change your shoes. Please come in. I am alone." She has no makeup, her hair is soft and docile, and she wears a simple white hoodie shirt.

Lin Zhique said: "If you pamper them like this, they will only make more progress."

Chen Jia led her through the entrance.

"There were times when we were not condoned before, calling the security guards and calling the police, and it was very difficult to end the trouble. Some were still underage, and the police wanted to call their family members, and they cried and begged for mercy. The next batch will come. I have to make an unwritten agreement with them, only come to the studio, only outside."

Chen Jia became more talkative than when she was young.

Looking at Chen Jia's back, she thought to herself, is this Chen Jia, or another Chen Jia?

The living room looks like it has been tidied up hastily. The trash can is full of empty sparkling water bottles and crumpled writing paper. The musical instruments that occupy most of the space have been kept shiny. A huge window has been cut into several small squares. , On both sides of the window, thick dark green curtains hung down.There are rolling hills in the distance outside the window, and the greenery is everywhere.

There is a small bar under the window, an expensive-looking coffee machine, several bottles of wine, and a side cabinet displaying dozens of exquisite and beautiful cups with different uses.

Chen Jia pulled out a chair by the bar for her.

There is a photo frame on the bar counter, which is a large group photo.At a glance, Lin Zhique saw Du Siren standing on the farthest edge, raising one arm high, and laughing without hesitation.She took that photo.The photo frame was wiped clean without any dust.

When Chen Jia saw it, she said, "It was taken during the concert tour in 05."

There are twelve people in the photo, the top ten players, plus Zhu He and Li Miaomiao.No Lucanne.

Time and space seem to have split since 2005, like a river diverging into two tributaries at a fork, flowing forward independently of each other.

Lin Zhique said, "I thought you wouldn't miss that time."

Chen Jia has always been reticent. In her impression, she has never seen her shed tears, nor have she ever felt any reluctance. She has always been silent and kept walking. She is not like someone who would value an old photo so much people.

"It seems that the public often thinks that I am an indifferent person." The coffee has already been brewed, and she asked if she would like to add milk or ice cubes.

What Lin Zhique admired since he was a child is this kind of "indifference", or indifference, being able to stand alone in all the troubles.During the draft that year, fans of other contestants often attacked Chen Jia as "cold-blooded", and Lin Zhique scoffed at this.

She hands her an iced latte.

The other side wall by the window is an entire built-in cabinet, filled with a lot of records, and only a few compartments for magazines and books.Chen Jia found a record in a certain compartment and handed it to her.

She's never seen it, it's an album by the Duces.

On the cover, the Dusi people stand between the green land and the blue sky, open their arms like wings, and smile with their eyes closed.

The white letters are printed on the sky, like clouds. This album is called "Miss.Missing". It was released in 2007, and there are only five songs in total.

She opens the lid.On the title page is Du Siren's handwriting: Chen Jia, Miss. Missing missu!

The handwriting was not so good-looking, and there were too many repeated letters, making it even more silly.

Lin Zhique said honestly: "I haven't heard it. Can you play it for me?"

"Haven't you heard it? Don't you have one at home?" Chen Jia went to operate the record player, "It's hard to buy it now. I probably still have some at home. I'll find one for you."

"Is this the only one? This is the only album she has released?" In fact, she had already seen related introductions on the Internet, but she couldn't accept that Du Siren had only released an album.

"...Yes, there is only this one. In our session, and even in our next session, there were many people who failed to release a record."

The first song is a dance song with a fast melody. To be honest, it doesn’t sound good. The arrangement is too complicated. Dusi’s voice is covered by a large number of sound effects, and even a little distorted after post-processing.The record player was vertical, and it was placed on a certain shelf of the cabinet. The CD was spinning rapidly on the reading disk. It was spinning so fast that Lin Zhique kept staring at it, trying to see clearly what was printed on it. A photo of the Dusi people.

Chen Jia sat down beside her. "Actually, Miaomiao was not there that day, so she went to look for me."

Lin Zhique turned his eyes: "What?"

"The company probably didn't explain this to your family back then, right? I asked the company to terminate the contract that day, but Miaomiao wasn't here, so she went to look for me." Chen Jia looked into her eyes and said.She hadn't looked her in the eye the whole time.

"...I don't care about your love-hate entanglements. You don't have to excuse her, and you don't have to excuse yourself. I'm an adult, and I understand that this incident is an unintentional accident for everyone, and I know it too. For you, it has been eight years, and I don't need you to explain to me or repay anything." Lin Zhique paused, "But I will not forgive you for her."

Although she knew that Chen Jia did not need to bear any responsibility for this matter.

Chen Jia nodded and replied, "Okay."

"I used to think that you were a very decisive person, but I didn't expect you to be the same. You would act in such a vulgar play where you take all the responsibility on yourself for the sake of your sweetheart."

After hearing this sentence, Chen Jia actually smiled a little softly, "You are young, and your words are quite poisonous. Strictly speaking, it is not a sweetheart, but an old friend."

"You are not together?"

"Didn't you say you don't care about our love-hate entanglement?"

Lin Zhique turned his head to look at Qing Cui in the distance outside the window, and took a sip of coffee.

Chen Jia said: "We are not together. But even if we are not lovers, we have the past together, we have the present together, and we will have the future together. So, I want to say sorry to you all the more. There is something between me and her. The more I learn, the more I owe the thinker.”

"...Then you owe it." Lin Zhique held the cup with cold water dripping out of her hand, and pretended to speak out harsh words easily. There was a trace of pity in her heart, but in her opinion, love is all about love. There is nothing important in life, she is just a little envious, they have the past, present and future together. "...By the way, did she fall in love in those years? Those years after her debut."

She didn't know how she would ask such a question.

"Hmm..." Chen Jia frowned and recalled, "There should be. I heard about it once or twice, but it didn't seem to be long. Maybe she likes dancing more than falling in love."

"Oh. Your coffee is delicious." She skipped the subject quickly.

Chen Jia told her many things about those few years, such as Love Culture, which signed a large number of newcomers through the joint draft with Satellite TV every year, but there were too many wolves and few flesh, and they couldn't train them. They often just took advantage of the heat of the draft to quickly drain the newcomers. Even Chen Jia, in his first year of debut, had to keep running messy business performances.Looking at the entertainment industry, in the first decade of the 21st century, all brokerage contracts were heavily tilted towards the management, and the accounts were not evenly distributed. Struggling on the fringes of the circle on their own, or giving up their acting dreams early and returning to an amateur life.

What Chen Jia didn't go on to say was that after the first ten years passed, the circle began to develop in another deformed direction.Come to think of it, if the interests involved in anything are too huge, once you invest in it, you can no longer talk about pure dreams.

What Lin Zhique didn't ask is, you know that you have run counter to your original intention, why do you all leave for the sake of fame and fortune?

Chen Jia said that when they first arrived in Beijing, they all lived in several apartments rented by the company. The apartments were in the same community, and Du Siren lived in Chen Jia's building.Siren and a few others are playful, often sneaking out very late, with an underage Tao Lexin, Zhu He called her and couldn't find anyone, so he called her and told her to go upstairs to find him, so she had no choice but to Pretending to be asleep and not answering the phone.

Speaking of the first few years of his debut, Li Miaomiao did not teach Dusi people, but dialects. "Then who is Du Siren's agent?" Chen Jia thought for a long time, "I don't remember, the company had several brokerage groups at that time. Dialect terminated the contract earlier than me. Around 2010, Miaomiao was in charge of Whale Star. But since those two years, the popularity of the talent show has dropped a lot, Ai Ai has streamlined a lot of personnel, and many contracted artists have no team to follow, and Miaomiao is also Siren's manager."

"Dialect terminated the contract, didn't seem to have heard any news back then?"

"Well. Her family background is quite special. There was no lawsuit at that time, and liquidated damages were quickly negotiated."

After all, interests are still afraid of power.

Chen Jia said that Dusi people threw away their coats when they danced solo in every tour. Acting like a baby and admitting his mistakes, it never ends." He also said that Dusi people don't drink often, but they seem to be born with a good capacity for alcohol, no matter how much they drink, they will not get drunk, but they will blush when they drink.

The green mountains outside the window are kind and silently listening to her.

Dusiren has filmed many films, but most of them were not broadcast. She also worked as a host of children's programs, playing a dinosaur in a dinosaur coat. She recorded ten episodes in three days. No one knew it was her. "Once, she told me about it as a funny thing. I was very angry and asked her which TV station she was from, and she laughed at me for making a fuss out of a molehill."

In the first 21 years of her life, has she ever experienced such frustration?

After playing the album with only five songs for the fourth time, Chen Jia told Lin Zhique all the bits and pieces about Du Siren in his memory, but the more she listened, the more strange she felt that what Chen Jia said was true. There is nothing wrong with being a Dusi person, but it was the Dusi person who only took No.5 in the competition. It was the Dusi person who had never known the 27-year-old her. She began to be confused: Are they the same person?If not, the life of this one has come to an end, what about the other one?where is that one

Chen Jia said: "A few years ago, I went to work in Jincheng and visited your grandfather once. He...was very talkative. He also mentioned your grandma, saying that your grandma had a strong heart. After the incident happened, she couldn't accept it, but Nothing can be done, and there is no way to pursue it, after all, your family participated in the investment..."

Lin Zhique frowned: "Our family? What investment?"

"You don't know? Your father is one of the investors in that play."

"Which play?"

"It's the film that Siren went to Girl Mountain to film. Because of this, your family still loves to reconcile with the crew."

Lin Zhique suddenly stood up.

"Didn't it mean that her female number one was cut off?"

Chen Jia replied: "Yes, it seems to be. I heard Miaomiao say it."

"Ha!" She couldn't believe it, "The investor's own sister was replaced before the start of the business?"

Chen Jia was taken aback by her, "Yes...but there should be several investors. The new heroine may be someone from other capital. At that time, Miaomiao went to look for your father several times, but he didn't seem to agree. Too concerned."

She grabbed her bag, turned around, and was about to leave. Regardless of Chen Jia's astonishment, before she stepped out of the living room, she turned back again, pressed the pause button, and took out the CD from the record player. take away."

Chen Jia tried to stop her: "Shall I find another one for you? I bought some for myself. She wrote a gift for me on this one."

Lin Zhique was unreasonable: "I want this one."

Then she rushed out the door, and the bastards on the other side of the street were still there. Seeing the door open, she hurriedly went to get the SLR, and she yelled, "Don't worry about it! What a fart? Don't you have your own life?" After cursing , walk away.

Her car was parked nearby. She slammed on the accelerator all the way, turned the steering wheel in a hurry, violated the regulations at least four times, and drove for half an hour in 15 minutes.

If the property owner hadn't recognized her as the Du family's daughter, he would have called the police long ago.

The Du family lived in a luxurious complex in recent years. There were only two buildings in the north and south, one household on the first floor. The elevator directly entered the house. The property steward informed her while leading her upstairs.She turned her head and gave him a hard look: "I'm not from their family, you don't have to be so respectful to me in the future."

The elevator is gone.

Tang Li came out of the room.

"Knowing magpie?"

"... Aunt Li." She called her.After so many years, every time I call him that, I still feel a little awkward.Tang Li is old, older than every person she has seen these days who suddenly spanned 14 years. Counting, Tang Li has passed the year of knowing her destiny.Therefore, as soon as she saw her, the raging anger in her heart cooled down a little.

"What's the matter with you? Did your father call you? He's not at home."

"where is he?"

"I don't know, maybe at the company, or maybe eating and drinking out or something. He is also obsessed with playing golf recently."

"Then I..." She wanted to leave directly, but suddenly remembered something, "Aunt Li, one year, you went to Jincheng, do you remember? You went alone, it seems to be 2005... "

She wanted to test whether Tang Liji in front of her remembered drinking with her in a certain bar in Jincheng.

But Tang Li replied: "How do you know? Your father told you about this?"

Lin Zhique replied without thinking, "Yes."

Tang Li seemed a little dazed, "It's unexpected that your father is willing to tell you such a thing. I thought he was going to take him into the coffin." After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly.

Lin Zhique, who was about to leave, stopped.

The living room is sunken. Tang Li walked down the steps, and there was a pot of cold brewed tea on the coffee table, "Do you want some water? Or are you going to do something about yourself?"

Lin Zhique also took two steps down, "Aunt Li, when you went to Jincheng for that matter, what happened afterwards?"

Tang Li raised her eyes to look at her, then smiled, her cheeks and the corners of her eyes wrinkled softly, "Little girl, are you trying to trick me?"

was spotted.

She had no choice but to answer frankly: "Yes."

"Forget it, come here." She waved to her, "Anyway, I wanted to take revenge on your father a long time ago." She seemed to be joking, "The Du family is all gone, there is nothing to take into account his broken self-esteem."

Lin Zhique obediently walked down the steps.

With a calm tone, Tang Li said to her, "I went to Jincheng that year to see off Du Shen's father."

Lin Zhique couldn't react for a while.

Tang Li said: "He kissed his father. The prison called and asked him to collect the ashes. He was not born to the Du family. When his father was sentenced to life, he was a student in Du Jingguang's class. You know, your father took this This matter is regarded as the biggest stain in his life, but he is also very funny, he doesn't want to admit it, and he claims to be loyal and filial, so he asked me to collect it for him. His father's ashes are still stored in Shenshui Temple in Jincheng .”

She couldn't speak for a while, and a huge wave was set off in her mind.

The past piles of piles hit my heart one by one.

Why at that time, Du Siren didn't know Tang Li's purpose in going to Jincheng at all.

Why in the era of family planning, a family with two teachers in Du's family can have a second child in a grand manner-she said: "They all call me a related household."

When she was young, she said that Du Shen was not like a child of the Du family at all, and he almost turned against her.

She even suddenly embraced a little bit of luck, and wanted to ask, what about me?Could it be that I am not Du Shen's own?When the words came to her lips, she realized that these words would hurt Tang Li.

Du Shen and Du Siren have never been brothers and sisters, he has no love for her, no pity, maybe even jealousy, so, as an investor, he did not fight for her, he is just a lunatic who only loves himself .

The sound of the elevator arriving again sounded.

"Mom? The butler said that someone is coming from home..." Du Zhian's voice came.It seems that the property manager was so frightened that he filed a complaint.Before he finished speaking, Du Zhian saw Lin Zhique, "It's you? Why are you running here? Last time I went crazy at my place, I haven't settled with you yet, my carpet was vomited into a mess by you."

"Why are you so thick-skinned? You vomited it yourself, Miss Du." Lin Zhique had no time to quarrel with Du Zhian. She walked over and stopped the elevator that was about to leave, "I'll go first." She said to Tang Li nodded.

She is going to settle accounts with Du Shen.

The elevator door opened and closed, only Tang Li and Du Zhian's mother and daughter were left in the living room.

Du Zhian changed his shoes and walked to her mother, "Mom, are you okay? Why is that crazy woman here?"

"No reason. She came to look for your father, but your father is not here. Don't talk about a crazy woman, your mother never taught you that." Tang Li poured her daughter a cup of cold brewed tea.

"She's been nagging recently, and she ran to my place last time to ask about my aunt. I suspect that she went to Jincheng and was bewitched!" Du Zhian sat down on the sofa.

"What about your aunt? After so many years, why do you think of asking about it?"

"I don't know her. Mom, tell me, in my aunt's play that year, the lead actress who was temporarily replaced was so capable? It will be turned on immediately, and if it is airborne, it will be airborne. I saw her new one a few days ago. The show is on, huh, she is quite popular. I suspect that my dad also participated in the unspoken rules."

"Drink your tea and don't make wild guesses. A girl's reputation is so important. If you don't know it, don't talk nonsense and wrong her. I'm not surprised by anything that a person like your father does."

"Mom," Du Zhian put down the cup in his hand, "Since you know my dad is this kind of person, why haven't you left him for so many years?"

Tang Li turned to look at her daughter. Her eyelids had begun to loosen, drooping slightly, and a pair of once beautiful eyes were sad and soft, "What do you think? Mom doesn't know. You look down on mom, right? I'm getting married." She took her hand.

Du Zhi'an felt a little sad in his heart, and the words on his lips became bitter, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Tang Li went on to say: "Mom hopes that you will never follow in the footsteps of mother. Zhi'an, do you know? Love exists. But there is still one thing in this world, called the illusion of *love."

A few hours later, Du Zhian drove to one of the most luxurious private wedding dress studios in the city to try on the dinner dress for the wedding ceremony. The dress she wore for the ceremony had already been decided. I hope it will be more concise and convenient, and it has been changed several times before and after.

This studio is in a French-style western-style building. It was the mansion of a certain family during the Republic of China. The interior decoration has been renovated, but it still maintains the original appearance. She sat down on the antique-style fabric sofa in the living room on the first floor, with It is a fan of open glass windows.

She had just tried on the gown and had it measured, so the dressmaker went upstairs to help her modify it on the spot.The fiance is sitting on another sofa beside him, playing a mobile game.

She told him what happened that afternoon.

Her fiancé was chosen by herself. After dating for a year and a half, both families urged her to decide to get married.He has a gentle appearance and is right in the door with her. His family has invested in many properties. He loves to dance and write, so his family bought a literary magazine for him. He usually writes articles and poems, and occasionally appears on talk shows. She has liked it since she was young. Genius" type.

While playing the game, the man occasionally raised his eyes to show that he was listening. After listening, he hummed for a long time.

"Hey!" She patted his knee.

He put down his phone, got up and moved to sit beside her.

He said in a good voice: "I know that you are not worth it for your mother. Marriage is like drinking water. Your father once made a mistake, but without your father, you and your mother would not be able to live such a good life." Life. Good and bad, so many years have passed, and your mother has let go. You don’t need to poke her sad things. People have many sides, and I think your dad has a good side. You see, he started from nothing and can turn his career Make it like this today..."

"...I think you like the Lamborghini he gave you?"

The fiancé smiled, he was handsome, and he smiled shyly with thin lips, "What are you talking about? I mean, your parents are old, so don't worry about this kind of thing. You can be with you until you grow old Love, how can it be an illusion? Love is long-suffering and kind. I believe they must love each other, just like us." He came to embrace her shoulder.

She looked at the man in front of her who was about to marry her, and suddenly panicked, wondering if she really understood him.

"By the way, didn't you say that you have an appointment with an old friend tonight?"

He originally said that he would not come with her, and he would delay for a long time every time he hated it, but when he heard that she had made an appointment with an old friend, he suddenly became happy again.

"It's all about girl friends. What are you paranoid about?"

"Where?"

There is a figure walking outside the flower window.

Du Zhian turned his head away.

The man outside the window met her gaze, grinned at her, and waved to her.

It was Xu Xinan who came.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Recently, I found that there is a very interesting and moving thing in the process of writing.

That's how my story actually grows on itself.

I sometimes write things that are completely out of my plan, and it's like my characters are speaking to me in my head.

For example, in the previous section, Wang Yang said to Lu Wei, I am Wang Yanghai, and I am not raising a pond with water flowers like your dogtail grass.

After reading it, my friend said to me that Jiamiao is a pair of CPs that made her very sad, because they love each other but always go against each other.why?To be honest, when I first conceived it, I didn't know why, I just wanted to write a pair of sidelines that were completely different from the Sunbird, to be more "adult", more "inexplicable" but "entangled" a little.

But when she said this line, I suddenly understood why.

Because they all love ideals more than each other, and it is difficult to agree with each other on the road of ideals.

I found that I was quite familiar with most of my characters, although many of them were just a flash in my head and thought, "It's time to let such a person appear!", but looking back, maybe I didn't write much, I There are family backgrounds designed for most of them, or I didn't design them, but they came out of my mind.

For example, Xiaohua is an atypical eldest lady, she has a single parent and grew up in a small town.

For example, Wen Jing was born in a small third- and fourth-tier town, a family of employees, with a good family background, and a pair of simple and enthusiastic parents with conservative ideas.

Lu Wei comes from a small coastal town in the south. He cut off from his extremely feudal family in his 20s and pursued his dream alone in Guangzhou. (This paragraph was mentioned in 5-1)

Cyclone was born in a patriarchal family, and was oppressed by his father since he was a child. When he grew up, he fled to the south farther south than his hometown without looking back.

There is a very interesting thing, in the 11-6, the cyclone went to Jincheng to see the reed, and the reed said to her: Then you are like me, you come from a far away place.

When I look back at this line, I feel a strange sense of fate, because I didn't design it on purpose: these two girls are so similar in a certain way, and she is her idol.

In today’s section, for the first time, I let the story deviate from my original track—originally, I wanted to write that the swan married the one I love and had a grand and happy wedding.

In the end, I couldn't bear it.

(To be honest, I have written many times that I feel that Asuka and Swan are a bit good just from the character design...)

As for the bloody plot of Shen Sifei's own life, it has been paved several times before, and finally I decided to let it go gently. This kind of plot is really not my thing...

In addition, the chapters of my document are actually based on the number before the title, but jj forces "chapter" as the unit of each update. In fact, in my document, the sun bird is only divided into two chapters (not yet to) that's all!If you can't wait, check back later.

Thank you all for reading.
