I'm off powder

A year passed by in a flash.

In the process of constantly switching between receiving, filming, wrapping up, and showing, Shen Huai suddenly found himself one year older.

This year, he tried his best to keep himself busy, and when he was busy, he would not think about what he had or what he didn't have.

He knew that with every step he was getting closer to the end, he felt more motivated than ever.

But at the same time, he began to reduce some unnecessary exposure within the scope allowed by the company.

Resisting Zhang Yue's nagging, Weibo has not been updated for a long time. The last Weibo was more than half a year ago, and the retweets and likes have exceeded one million.

Except for occasional brand events, press conferences, and film and television productions, he is almost invisible, and he refuses to accept even the most popular variety shows.

Walking on the verge of breaching the contract, Shen Huai also knew that this would bring considerable losses to the company, so he specially organized a team of lawyers and an economic team to analyze this issue, and finally signed a supplementary agreement.

This year and the rest of the year, what he got was almost cabbage money in the industry.

But he didn't care.

Shen Huai has several properties, several cars, some investment, and a lot of deposits. These are more or less accumulated. As long as he doesn't do anything illegal or dig his own grave, it is enough for him to spend money like dirt. Live your life recklessly.

He has been burdened by money for half of his life, but now, he has finally got rid of the embarrassment, and everything seems to be moving in another bright and better direction.

What else does he want?

Shen Huai was lying on a deck chair by the swimming pool, reading a book.

In the past few months, he has been obsessed with reading, reading all kinds of books.

In the past, besides the script, he was dizzy when he saw the densely packed characters. Sometimes he had to read the original work in order to better understand and interpret the characters in the play, which was more painful than memorizing the lines.

Now, by chance, I have tasted the beauty of reading—it's like appreciating the colorful life of all kinds of people in the world, and I can't put it down.

Moreover, reading made him calm and focused, and his former impatience has changed a lot. Zhang Yue described him as "steady", but at the same time sighed: "It's a pity that you will leave in a year. It seems that I don't deserve the 'steady' you."

He filmed the night scene yesterday, and it didn’t end until early in the morning. Today is another day’s location shooting. He got up early in the morning. After filming, he went home, took a shower, and lay down. At this moment, he was tired and sleepy at the same time. .

Shen Huai closed his eyes and opened the book to cover his eyes.

When he was about to fall asleep, two birds sang lowly and flew over the swimming pool, bringing up a few drops of clear water in the pool and splashing it on his arm. Shen Huai woke up suddenly, and before he could react, the doorbell rang.

He was sleepy, and even his footsteps were a little wandering, forgetting who it looked like, he opened the door directly.

Jiang Yingxin stood at the door.

Dust-laden memories burst through the gate like a stream of water.

Shen Huai's mind stopped for a few seconds, and then he showed a decent smile: "Sister Jiang, long time no see."

matured.

This was Jiang Yingxin's first feeling when she saw Shen Huai.

Looking back, it has been more than a year since the last time they met. At that time, he helped himself out of a coincidence—more precisely, when he helped Gu Han.

Shen Huai welcomed her into the house.

"Sit wherever you want, tea or coffee?"

"Water is fine, thank you."

She walked to the sofa, but didn't sit down, she just looked around the whole room and praised, "Your home is really special. It's very stylish. I'm also decorating the house recently, and the designer showed me the renderings, but I always feel... ...something is wrong."

Although Shen Huai no longer checks Weibo, but in the entertainment industry, he still hears about some big and small things.

Jiang Yingxin divorced the domestic violence man Yang Zhongyuan half a year ago just after giving birth, and divided a considerable amount of family property. She just came back to take on the show recently, and it was revealed that she bought a mansion in the Mid-Levels, which can be considered reckless.

She said so, Shen Huai simply took her around and said: "The decoration design of this house was designed by a Chinese designer. It was not brand new when I bought it. The previous owner lived in it for half a year. I am ready to emigrate, and I am in a hurry to change hands. I didn’t want to buy a second-hand one at first, but I really like it after seeing it.”

Jiang Yingxin listened with great interest: "Do you know who the designer is?"

"I vaguely remember the name." Shen Huai smiled, "If you are interested, I can ask the former owner and tell you."

"Then trouble you."

After Jiang Yingxin finished speaking, the two suddenly fell silent.

Shen Huai knew that she definitely didn't come to seek his relationship on purpose, besides, she had already found her family - this should be extremely private, and their relationship was actually only a little closer than that of strangers.

The water boils at this time.

Shen Huai went to the kitchen and poured a glass for her, and the two of them sat down on the sofa.

It's really talking now.

"Little sister Jiang, you didn't come to see me today to look at the house, did you?"

"No." She smiled gently, "I'm here to give you something."

This answer was beyond Shen Huai's expectation.

He was stunned: "Something?"

She took out a black box from her handbag and handed it to him: "I will pass it on behalf of others."

Shen Huai immediately understood.

It is difficult to describe his mood at this moment.

He didn't really want to discern either.

The name that hadn't appeared in his mind and dreams for a long time suddenly appeared, making him dizzy for a moment.

Jiang Yingxin handed it to him, with her hand hanging in mid-air, his eyes swept over the box, smiled, but didn't answer: "I made it clear enough when we broke up. I have nothing to do with him for a long time. What does this mean?"

Jiang Yingxin shook her head: "He only asked me to hand it to you."

"Oh." He nodded, "When did it happen?"

"Sent it to me probably shortly after he went to America."

At that time, the matter of Gu Hanshi and Le Shaokai dominated the top three Weibo hot searches for a whole month. Later, the people who eat melons were annoyed, and the black fans were also annoyed. Gu Hanshi was like a coward until he finally had to show up.

He simply held a press conference to apologize to the public for the negative impact of this incident, but dropped a bombshell a few days after the end, saying that he would take a break again and go to the United States for further studies.

Since then, there has been almost no news about him.

This man is determined enough, just like back then, once he decides to disappear, no one will catch a trace of him.

Shen Huai hesitated for a while, then asked, "Did he say anything?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there was a slight tremor in his voice, wondering if Jiang Yingxin could hear it.

"Say happy birthday."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

He may have wanted to send a WeChat message or voice message, but Shen Huai loved him to the bone and hated him to the bone, and determined not to have any entanglements, so he deleted all his contact information, WeChat blocked, even The origin of everything, Weibo, has also broken traces.

Gu Hanshi had already logged off Weibo.

Seeing that his expression was so indifferent that he was in a daze, Jiang Yingxin was afraid that he would be annoyed, so she carefully explained: "He should feel sorry for you in his heart."

"It's all over." Shen Huai smiled lightly, "Is he okay in America?"

Jiang Yingxin didn't expect his thoughts to jump so fast, and hurriedly said: "In fact, he..."

As soon as she said a few words, Shen Huai interrupted her: "Forget it, it's none of my business for a long time."

This time it was Jiang Yingxin's turn to be silent.

She is a stubborn woman, and she has been friends with Gu Hanshi for many years, and he is very devoted to what he told him to do, even though Shen Huai refused many times, before leaving, he still insisted on keeping the gift.

Jiang Yingxin said: "I am only responsible for completing the task, and other things are beyond my ability. If you really don't want it, just throw it away. Remember to sort the garbage."

Shen Huai: "..."

But he didn't even have the courage to open it.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what Gu Hanshi meant.

Of course, maybe Gu Hanshi didn't have any deep meaning, just out of guilt.

But the two of them had already said their words to death at that time, if Gu Hanshi wanted to save face, there was no need to make such a fuss.

It's so ridiculous.

Shen Huai stared at the black box in his hand for a few minutes, then threw it into the glove box.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Gu Hanshi woke up.

The author has something to say: It’s too late today, there are relatively few, sorry.
