In the silent place

Chapter 44 One finger quicksand

In the stillness of the night, Bai Yutang was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, the scenes of the past, like an old movie, appeared in front of his eyes.The picture is so clear that it doesn't seem to fade with the passage of time.Just inadvertently, the person in the picture has already left without even saying goodbye, leaving only himself still standing still.Maybe life is like this, the seasons go by, people come and go.He is used to the existence of that person, whether it is warm and happy, or confused and painful.He knows that feelings cannot be forced, and he let go of them while talking, but he always expects them with duplicity.They are no longer innocent teenagers, and the beauty of the past seems to be just yesterday.But the past is the past, and it will never come back...

No matter how many unsatisfactory things are in life, time will not stay for anyone.

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang came to the set on time.Before the car stopped, Tao Peng ran over with a smile. "Young Master Bai, how are you talking with your friend?"

Bai Yutang got out of the car with a gloomy expression, without any emotion in his tone, he said coldly: "Find someone else."

Tao Peng was overwhelmed by his icy aura, and stood there with his mouth half-opened, watching the other party enter the studio in a daze.Liang Yigu watched from the side, frowned and came over to ask, "No success?"

"En." Tao Peng replied in a deep voice, then sighed. "It seems that there is no play here, and we have to find another way."

"At this juncture, where can I find someone?" Liang Yigu lost his temper again when he heard this.

"Don't talk so frustratingly, you have to look for it if you can't find it!" Tao Peng glanced at Liang Yigu, and his words were full of dissatisfaction. "Aren't all the candidates' information still available? Let's see if we can find a suitable one."

Liang Yigu felt irritable and had nothing to do, so he said in a muffled voice, "Go in and discuss it with Young Master Bai."

"Well, I'll call Liu Xian later and call her too."

"Okay." Liang Yigu took out his phone and dialed Liu Xian's number.

Tao Peng looked in the direction of the studio, thought for a while, and walked over.

In the empty studio, Bai Yutang was sitting in a canvas chair next to a pile of wooden shelves, smoking a cigarette.Tao Peng walked over slowly and sat down on the chair next to him. Seeing his unkind expression, he didn't dare to ask about the previous matter again.But the matter must be resolved, he turned around and looked at the other party, half reassuring and half suggesting: "It's fine if you can't do it. I'll ask Director Liang to call Liu Xian to see if he can be recruited before." Find a suitable one in there."

Bai Yutang carefully recalled the scene when he applied for the recruitment, but he couldn't find any suitable face in his mind. "Old Tao, do you have a backup candidate in mind?"

"To be honest, there really isn't one." Tao Peng said, feeling a little discouraged.

After a while, Liang Yigu strode in from the outside with his mobile phone in hand. "Liu Xian said she'll be there soon. And Tian Pin just got a call, and she's out of danger."

"This kid's fate is really great, but if he loses this opportunity, it will be difficult to get ahead in the future." Tao Peng said regretfully.

"Actually, in my opinion, the lesson this time may not be a good thing for him." Liang Yigu said with emotion.Since the filming started, I have had a lot of contact with Tian Pin, and I have gradually gained some understanding of his character and temperament.This person is very good at playing things by ear, and in public, his attitude and words are just right.It's just that in the audience, I feel too good about myself.It's not that no one in the film crew has had a chat with him, but for the sake of the overall situation, he always acts as a peacemaker.Working together, looking down every day, who wants to find trouble?Now that this person has come to such a fate, although it is pitiful, it is not without personal reasons. "Man, it's better not to be too snobbish."

Tao Peng sighed, understood what he meant, shook his head and said nothing.

Not long after, Liu Xian rushed to the set.During the phone call, Liang Yigu had already mentioned the situation on Bai Yutang's side, but the result was beyond her historical records.She always thought that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had a good relationship, but regretfully felt that there seemed to be something else hidden, but it was inconvenient to ask too much.

The situation was urgent, Tao Peng saw that everyone had arrived, bowed his elbows on his knees, and said eagerly: "Let's express our opinions, who is the candidate?"

As soon as the words fell, several people fell into deep thought. For a while, the empty studio was silent, and the atmosphere became more oppressive and dull.

Several faces kept changing, and suddenly, a name popped into Tao Peng's brain. He slapped his thigh and said a little excitedly: "By the way, what do you think of the Tong Yu Festival recommended by Director Jiang before?" ?”

Liu Xian's impression of this person was only on one photo, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't explain why, so she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Liang Yigu.

Sensing Liu Xian's gaze, Liang Yigu looked back at her and said, "Director Jiang recommended him at that time. His acting skills were good and he was quite popular. During the time he was recruited, he was the most popular person on the Internet. At that time, he thought that the role of Jian Shu I didn’t quite match his acting path, so I didn’t think too much about it.”

Bai Yutang sat at the side and never said a word.Liu Xian turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Young Master Bai, what do you think of this man?" She trusted Bai Yutang's vision and paid more attention to his thoughts.Because she knew how much this person valued this drama, and she saw his hard work and dedication after working together for several months.

Circles of curly red hair appeared in front of his eyes, Bai Yutang frowned slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen the drama he made, and his acting skills are not bad."

"Well, he is a professional actor after all." Liang Yigu echoed.

Apart from Tong Yujie, there seemed to be no better choice. Finally, several people reached a consensus, and Liang Yigu came forward to talk to Director Jiang.Tao Peng finally saw new hope, and encouraged him: "It's not too late, Lao Liang, this time it's up to you."

"En." Liang Yigu looked at his old partner's expectant eyes, and responded heavily.

In the morning, Liu Rong was worried and insisted on checking her nephew's wound.Zhan Zhao couldn't hold her back, so he had to roll up his trouser legs to show her.The gauze was tightly wrapped, and the oozing blood had dried up, showing a small piece of dark red.

"Does it hurt?" There wasn't much blood, but Liu Rong felt a burst of heartache, as if the blood flowed from her heart.

Aunt's soft tone, as if coaxing a child, made Zhan Zhao's heart sore and warm. "It doesn't hurt, auntie." He smiled at auntie with the corners of his lips bent, and gently put down the trouser legs.

"How did you knock?" It was too late last night, so I didn't have time to ask in detail.At this time, Liu Rong began to question again.

"If you're not careful, you'll hit it." Zhan Zhao leaned on the head of the bed, lowered his eyebrows, and faltered.

Seeing his evasive words, Liu Rong sighed slightly and sat down on the edge of the bed. She blamed her and said, "If you feel dizzy, don't move around. I'll let you lie down. If you still don't listen, you'll be fine now." Looking sideways at her nephew, seeing him With his head down, like a child who made a mistake, he didn't dare to vent his breath, his heart twitched, and he leaned over and pulled the quilt over his lap for him. "These days, you have to be honest with your aunt, and you are not allowed to get out of bed. Did you hear me?"

"En." The nephew answered honestly with his head sullen.Liu Rong knew that he was also feeling bad, but his body was the most important thing, and when he recovered, she would not stop him from doing whatever he wanted. "Lie down and sleep for a while. My aunt goes out to buy some vegetables. When I come back later, let's make steamed buns."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao raised his head and smiled slightly, then lay down obediently.

Liu Rong stood up and tucked the quilt for him, walked out of the bedroom with a smile, and gently closed the door.

After a soft sound, the person on the bed sighed softly, the smile in his eyes slowly dissipated, and the heart-pounding pain seemed to drown his whole body.He just wanted to be able to do something, but what could he do like this?There was an unspeakable emotion in his heart, so that he could only breathe heavily in order not to suffocate.

Jiang Dong bid farewell to his girlfriend and drove home all the way.The last time I went home to catch my cousin contracting conjunctivitis, I didn't have time to ask him how the shop was doing.To say that his cousin is not qualified enough, he swore at that time and kept saying that he would support him, but now he can't even open a book club to help him.As he went upstairs, he fumbled for the card in his pocket, pursed his lips and smiled involuntarily, and must give this to him today.Taking out the key to open the door, Jiang Dong looked around the living room for a long time, but he didn't see anyone.

"Mom? I'm back." He raised his voice and shouted into the room.

Zhan Zhao thought it was because his aunt forgot to take something, but when he heard Jiang Dong's voice, he hurriedly got up, opened the door and went out. "cousin."

"Why are you alone at home?" Jiang Dong walked towards his cousin after changing his shoes.

"Auntie went out to buy vegetables." Zhan Zhao replied leaning on the door.

"Woke you up?" Seeing that his cousin was only wearing thin pajamas, Jiang Dong hurriedly dragged him into the bedroom.

"No, I'm awake."

"Why are you jumping around in this little clothes? Just stay under the covers."

Zhan Zhao grinned, kicked off his shoes and leaned against the head of the bed, pulling up the quilt casually. "Cousin, why are you back?"

"Don't mention it, something happened to the crew, and it was a mess, and the filming stopped. I'll come back and wait for hello." Jiang Dong said and sat down on the other side of the bed.

With a sudden pain in his heart, Zhan Zhao tightly gathered the quilt, and silently lowered his head.

From the moment Jiang Dong entered the door, he felt that his complexion was not good, and his face was almost transparent, so he turned his head and asked worriedly, "Is he sick? Why is his complexion so bad?"

"Maybe I didn't sleep well, I'm fine." Zhan Zhao said, raised his head to look at his cousin, his eyes flickered, and asked softly, "Have the crew found the male number two?"

When Jiang Dong heard this, his eyes widened immediately, he straightened up and asked loudly, "How do you know that it was the male number two?"

"I..." Zhan Zhao slipped his tongue for a while, then turned his head around, and hurriedly said, "I read the news from the Internet."

"Help me recuperate honestly, don't worry about these things? Do you hear that?" Jiang Dong stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhan Zhao, sternly.If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have mentioned the film crew to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was so intense, Zhan Zhao knew that it would be useless to ask again, so he obediently kept his mouth shut.Seeing his gloomy expression, Jiang Dong couldn't bear it.If he didn't tell him, he would ask Young Master Bai.With a dark sigh, he leaned back to the head of the bed, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Bai Shao, they have contacted someone and are waiting for news."

"Oh." Hearing this, Zhan Zhao felt a little relaxed in his heart, and slid down.

Seeing this, Jiang Dong raised his hand and patted his head, saying, "Lie down, why are you being polite to me?"

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, as if deliberately against him, instead of lying down, he leaned up.Jiang Dong glanced at him helplessly, thinking, "It's really not honest at all!" Suddenly remembering the business, he asked loudly: "Xiao Zhao, how is the arrangement at the book bar going?"When will it open? "

"I have bought all the furniture and everything, and I think I will open for business after a while."

"Cousin has been busy recently, so I haven't been able to help you much. I may go on a business trip with the crew in a few days." Jiang Dong said, leaning up and taking out a bank card from his pocket and grabbed it. The cousin put the card into his hand, and said: "Cousin is a rough person, and I don't know what to give you, you take this card, the money is not much, it's just a heart. The password is your birthday."

"I don't want it." Zhan Zhao shook his arms, wanting to return the card to Jiang Dong.Helplessly, the other party held his hand tightly, and the bank card seemed to be stuck to his hand, and he couldn't even shake it off.

"Are you looking down on your cousin?"

"No, I'm not short of money." Zhan Zhao hastily explained.

"I know you are not short of money, but this is what I gave you." Jiang Dong said, and put his other hand on his cousin's hand, and slowly gathered his five fingers together tightly in the palm of his hand inside. "If you don't take it, I'll throw it away. I mean it."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and slowly calmed down. I don't know if it was because of the violent pushing or something just now, his chest heaved violently, and even Jiang Dong could clearly feel his breathing hard.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?" Jiang Dong said, feeling his voice trembling. "You don't want it, brother, just take it back. You... don't get excited."

"I want." After a while, Zhan Zhao's breathing finally calmed down.He slowly raised his head, his eyes were reddish. "Cousin, you are so kind to me."

Jiang Dong looked at his wet and bright eyes, and the eye sockets also became hot. "Okay, I didn't sleep well, so I'll sleep a little longer. I'm almost catching up with the panda's eyes."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, put the bank card in his hand into the drawer of the bedside table, and lay down slowly. "Cousin, go to the book in the future, I will give you free."

Jiang Dong knocked on his forehead, and said with a smile: "You boy, is it possible that you still want to ask me for a fee?! Okay, don't play tricks, go to sleep, and I will call you for lunch."

"En." Zhan Zhao responded, and gently closed his eyes.

People live not only for themselves.Even if there is sadness, hide it away.
