[Zhenhun Weilan] Don't frown, I'm leaving

Shen Wei was wearing a pair of light-colored jeans and a wrinkled striped shirt casually over a white T-shirt. He was a little fatter than when Zhao Yunlan last saw him on the monitor three years ago, and his face was paler. Before, she was rosy and healthy, and her hair was longer than before, with half tied behind her head, and a small knot was raised.What remains the same is his gentle eyes even under the foreign sun, Shen Wei is smiling at the moment, the end of his eyes are so tender that they bend into a familiar arc to Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan seemed to have never seen that person so relaxed and joyful. He was so good-looking that he wanted that person to appear in his arms in a second, even though he felt that the little guy didn't match Shen Wei himself.

Zhao Yunlan had already walked up to those two people before he could react, and the three stopped at the side of the road facing each other, all stunned for a moment.

It was Shen Wei who first came back to his senses and smiled in surprise: "Why are you here? Retired from the army?" His voice and eyes are full of obvious and appropriate concern and joy, neither hiding nor hiding, no more, no less.

No flaws.

Zhao Yunlan didn't think about Shen Wei's reaction, but somehow felt that the way and attitude this person treated him at this moment was indescribably awkward. He was clearly in front of him, and he greeted him warmly and gently, but it made him deeply feel that, I am not the one who can take another step forward.

Zhao Yunlan clenched his fists secretly, and his voice was a bit difficult: "Ah... I... just retired..."

"Come here to relax?"

"Um... well..."

The Asian girl holding Shen Wei's arm showed a polite and bright smile to Zhao Yunlan, and then asked Shen Wei in a low voice in English: "Wei, who is it?"

Shen Wei glanced sideways at the girl, his eyes paused almost imperceptibly.

"This is Zhao Yunlan, my friend." Shen Wei pulled out his arm and took advantage of the situation to hold the girl's wrist, then raised his head and smiled and introduced to Zhao Yunlan, "This is what I met after I got here. My friend, her name is Jin Yuan."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, looked at Shen Wei holding Jin Yuan's hand, couldn't help being dazed, even forgot to respond to Jin Yuan's greeting.

"Are you still hanging around here?" Shen Wei glanced at his watch.

Zhao Yunlan came back to his senses, and replied vaguely: "Ah?...um..."

"Are you okay? I still have to go to class, so I'll leave first. Let's get together again when we have time." After finishing speaking, Shen Wei led Jin Yuan and left in a hurry.

I don't know if it's because of the time difference, Zhao Yunlan stood alone on the streets of New York, feeling dazed for a while.Half of his body was hidden in the shadow, and half of him was exposed to the sun. It wasn't until his right cheek was a little hot from the sun that Zhao Yunlan suddenly turned his head and looked anxiously into the distance, but there was no familiar person on the street. shadow.

Zhao Yunlan's mind seemed to be stuffed with something, his nerves were jumping suddenly, he couldn't live for a moment, but it was so empty that he didn't even know the traffic lights.He just walked through this block in a half-dream, walked through the market, passed the stop sign, saw the commercial street, stepped on the lawn, and imagined Shen Wei's life in a corner of this developed, open and free city.Without the annoyance of the domestic circle, it should be fulfilling and comfortable, but Zhao Yunlan's heart is sore and swollen.

Is it a grievance?Is it resentment?Still sorry?Probably just because, in Shen Wei's beautiful life, there is no place for him, Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan stood for a long time just one street away from the address on the paper, watching the lights in the upstairs window turn on and off, but he couldn't move forward.

The phone rang several times before Zhao Yunlan was pulled back from his thoughts.

"Hey……"

"Is it enough to rest for a day? Are you up? Where are you?" It was Zhou Qing.

"what happened?"

"I have an appointment with the media for a press conference tonight, so hurry up and get ready."

"What press conference?"

"You disappeared for three years. If you don't hold a press conference, who would know you're back?"

Zhao Yunlan didn't think so much when he came here, let alone Zhou Qing would find him so soon: "I'm in New York..."

Zhao Yunlan's comeback unexpectedly went smoothly this time. Zhou Qing accepted a commercial film for him, and it became a hit as soon as it was released.The company's studio was overjoyed, and even Zhao Jinyuan no longer praised him when he called.

Zhao Yunlan has been busy in black and white for half a year. Occasionally, when he is free, he just holds his phone in a daze. When the screen is dark, he touches it again, back and forth, only two interfaces are displayed, either Shen Wei's photo, Either it was the string of numbers that Shen Ye had managed to obtain but had never dialed.

On the first day of Zhao Yunlan's vacation, he lay in bed for a whole day. He didn't sleep, and he didn't sleep. He stared at the ceiling, from sunrise to sunrise, and finally rushed out with his passport key. Airport.

Zhao Yunlan took a taxi like last time, reported the address, and got off at the same place.There is still some distance from Shen Wei's residence, and he still has time to think about what to say when he meets someone.

Turning around the commercial street, Zhao Yunlan saw a familiar Asian face from a distance, and he would never admit his mistake, even though he only saw it once.

Jin Yuan, wearing the uniform of a restaurant waiter, is dragging a large bag of trash down an alley.

Zhao Yunlan walked over and took off the sunglasses mask on his face. He didn't know how to greet the girl, and it was even more awkward to speak in English: "Jin Yuan? Am I right?"

The moment Jin Yuan raised his head, he seemed a little stunned: "Ah... yes! How are you!"

"Come on, give it to me." Zhao Yunlan said while helping the girl drag the garbage to the garbage sorting box, "Don't you have class at this time?"

"Yes...no need..." Jin Yuan replied vaguely.

Seeing Jin Yuan's embarrassed look, Zhao Yunlan relaxed a little: "Are you nervous?"

"No!" Even though he said so, Jin Yuan's eyes couldn't help but glance towards the direction of the restaurant.

"What are you looking at? Is Shen Wei at school..." Zhao Yunlan casually followed Jin Yuan's gaze towards the restaurant as he asked, and through the glass door, he saw the person he was thinking about day and night at a glance , Shen Wei was bending over to order a customer, with a naturally polite smile on his face, Zhao Yunlan's eyebrows twitched, he knew that that person should not appear in that place in any case in uniform, but he pretended to be nonchalant Turning his head to ask Jin Yuan, "Why is he here? To help you?"

Jin Yuan looked at Zhao Yunlan, then lowered his head, hesitant to speak.

"I'll ask him myself." Zhao Yunlan said as he turned around and was about to walk over, but Jin Yuan grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Zhao, Wei probably doesn't want you to see him here."

After hearing Jin Yuan's words, Zhao Yunlan's heart sank inexplicably.Some questions that he hadn't paid attention to before suddenly flooded into his mind, drowning his whole body.

He never thought about why there was no media follow-up news after Shen Wei went abroad; he never thought about why no media mentioned Shen Wei when he returned to the entertainment industry; he also never thought about why Shen Wei had acted for many years. The play, the acting skills are exquisite; never thought that on the street that day, Shen Wei didn't even dare to leave him a phone call.

He said he was going to class, but he actually believed that, and didn't care about that person's fleeing figure at all...

Regardless of the time difference, Zhao Yunlan made a phone call to Shen Ye.

"What's wrong with Shen Wei?" Zhao Yunlan's voice was so low that it was scary, but when he listened carefully, he trembled uncontrollably, "I want the truth..."

Shen Wei had just finished the operation. On the day when Zhao Jinyuan's adjutant found the ward, Shen Wei chased him out shortly after the adjutant left. He met Commander Zhao himself in the military vehicle.

Zhao Jinyuan told Shen Wei that Zhao Yunlan was from the Zhao family, and he could not escape being a soldier in his life, but if Zhao Yunlan stepped into the army willingly, he would release him in three years. If he is willing to agree to his conditions, he can also guarantee that he will not interfere with Zhao Yunlan's affairs in the entertainment circle after three years.

And that condition is to let Shen Wei go abroad for further study.

Shen Wei knew almost from the beginning that this was a empty promise.Zhao Jinyuan wanted to force him out of the circle in a grandiose manner, to make him fade out of the public eye, and keep him as far away from his grandson as possible.

But he still agreed.

Shen Wei went to the United States, and Zhao Jinyuan's adjutant personally watched him board the plane.

Naturally, Shen Wei didn't get any training places, he couldn't act, he didn't even know what else he could do.After thinking about it for many days, Shen Wei decided to use the money he had saved from filming to rent a shop in this place where no one knew him, to start a small business, so that life would not be too boring.

It happened that the house was leaking and it was raining all night. Not long after Shen Wei rented the shop, his uncle was instigated to gamble. As a result, he even lost the house, not to mention owed a huge debt.Shen Wei had no choice, that was Shen Ye's father, besides, uncles and aunts were kind to him in nurturing him.

"...After my dad's accident, I checked it for a long time day and night, and found that the gambling game was related to people from the military region. I said I wanted to find you, but he told me to stop me. Otherwise, these things will rot in his stomach for the rest of his life..." Shen Ye's voice was also a little heavy, "I don't care what you think of him before, anyway, you are going so smoothly now, if you don't thank him, please don't do it again. I can't get past him..."

"I can't make it through...heh..." Zhao Yunlan repeated these three words and hung up the phone, and then smiled softly, like a wry smile, like a sneer, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, hanging on his mouth in embarrassment.

So that's the meaning of the phrase "too much"——Shen Wei once didn't want to give up the career he loves...

Zhao Yunlan remembered the heaviness between Shen Wei's brows that day in the hospital that couldn't be relieved, and his heart throbbed, and the pain couldn't be worse even when he breathed out.

Shen Wei walks among the tables, occasionally stops, presses his fists against his waist with his lips pressed together for a while, and then raises his head with that standard smile again.

Zhao Yunlan watched from afar, and his eyebrows were slightly raised again and again following Shen Wei's stopping movements, but he never took half a step closer, but the fingertips clenched on his chest became more and more pale.

Shen Wei came out of the restaurant after sunset, carrying a guitar in addition to his backpack.He ran for a not-so-long distance, but when he stopped he was panting heavily. Shen Wei stroked his chest, coughed lightly, and then just walked quickly while looking at the time.

Zhao Yunlan just followed silently until Shen Wei arrived at the destination without being noticed.Three years of closed training came in handy at this time.

Zhao Yunlan stood across the street and looked up at the light sign on the roof. It was a bar.

Zhao Yunlan casually ordered a bottle of brandy, sat in the booth and looked at the people on the stage.

The man was very quiet when he played the piano and sang, peacefully and calmly, not any kind or gloomy appearance he had seen before. He sat on the high stool, slightly tilted his head, plucked the strings lightly with his fingertips, and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed, the dust fell, causing his eyelashes to tremble slightly, and the whole person was in a state of pure relaxation. Even though the face under the light was pale and tired, Zhao Yunlan still couldn't look away. .

"The last song is called 'I Want Two Grapefruits'."

The title of the song, Shen Wei, was spoken in Chinese. After drinking most of the bottle of spirits, Zhao Yunlan froze for a moment, and after realizing it, his nose felt sore.

I would like two grapefruits.

I want to see you.

After the last chord trembled, Shen Wei thanked the audience with a gentle smile.The employment model of this bar is the same as that of restaurants outside, and the only income for service staff is tips.Shen Wei crouched by the side of the stage and put away the tips in the piano bag, but when he was about to get up, his wrist was grabbed.

It was a young man with his hair slicked back and wearing a very unisex floral shirt. He pulled Shen Wei off the stage with a single force.Shen Wei was caught off guard. Although the stage was not high, he still staggered a step before he managed to stand still. His right hand unconsciously supported his lower back.

The man was obviously drunk, clamoring for Shen Wei to accompany him to the booth for a drink, and he was surprisingly strong.Shen Wei didn't want to disturb the boss's business, so he followed the man to the booth.

Shen Wei gave up struggling, stood by the table and stared at the man and said in a deep voice, "Can you let go of your hands first?"

"I'll let you go after you drink this glass of wine, huh?" The man said and put a glass of wine in front of Shen Wei.

Shen Wei struggled again, but still couldn't break free, his chest heaved up and down twice, just as he picked up the wine glass on the table, he was pushed back on the table with a "boom" by another big hand.

The scorching alcohol smell mixed with the familiar smell sprayed in the ears: "Aren't you here to study? This is your study result?"

Although Zhao Yunlan's tone was gloomy and stinging, he picked up the wine bottle on the table without stopping, and threw it at the man on the seat.

Zhao Yunlan heard a muffled groan amidst the clear and crisp sound of the wine bottle being broken. Under his hands was a half-broken wine bottle, and under the wine bottle was Shen Wei's back.There were jagged pieces of broken glass stuck in it, and the blood from the wound had already stained a large area of ​​the shirt red.

The author has something to say: You can find the song "I Want Two Grapefruits" and listen to it.
