Chapter 75

The street lamps are extremely bright at night when there is no moon, and the dim light is shrouded in fine rain. Every flicker of the dim light and shadow is like the night quietly opening the eyes.

There is no light in the tall buildings, and the bustling and hustle and bustle are also isolated from the overlooking. In the desperate quiet and deep darkness, it is like an invisible hand strangling the throat. Only the ethereal breathing can restore a ray of vitality.

After a long silence, Qu Xizhi raised her chin to make her turn her head to look at him.

“Tell me, why did you return to China?”

The outline of the other party was not clear in the darkness, Gu Xizhi only looked at those bright eyes, his voice was trembling with tears, “I want to act in this movie.”

“I’m not going to come back without this movie, are I?”

“Knowing that there must be a suitable movie.”

“Is there any place in my heart for love besides career.”

“Loving parents, relatives, and friends want to make their love more meaningful, and hope to be more worthy of being loved.”

“So.” Her voice was a little self-deprecating, “In the purpose of returning to China, the name has never appeared before, and I have never thought of getting back together, even if there is no such thing as ara, is it?”

The ticking sound of the rain hitting the south window became clearer due to the long silence. Qu Xizhi closed his eyes and kept quiet for a while, then suddenly he kissed her almost madly again.

Tears seemed uncontrollable, soaking the entire face in a short while. A salty taste gradually appeared between the kisses, and Qu Xizhi left her abruptly.

The scorching skin immediately cools completely after being exposed to the air, and the rustling sound of cloth rubbing against each other and the sound of light footsteps paint a picture of leaving in the darkness.

“There is one thing I forgot to tell.” After the door opened, a bright light came in. Qu Xizhi stood still before leaving, “The judges gave a score of seven to six when I lost to Yin Ci. Yin Ci’s The seventh vote came from the Danish director Thomas Nielsen. Before the awards, he insisted on voting for him, but he left for a long time during the awards show, and when he came back, he denied his vote.”

She looked at the thick and colorful carpet in the living room, and paused for a while before saying, “The thing you want has already been there, and the thing you want has probably been crushed together.”

Half of her figure is in the light, half in the darkness, and between half-light and half-obscure, her straight back image is dazzled with a layer of mysterious light, just like the goddess holding a scepter in ancient Greek mythology.

Gu Xizhi closed his eyes, half of the pillow was already wet with tears.

The next day was the weekend, early in the morning Gu Xizhi was woken up by the wet and greasy touch of his face, opened his eyes and found that Qi Qi was stepping on the collapsed bed, and immediately sat up from the bed in shock.

Liang Ying, who was watching her obsessively by the bed, saw her open her eyes, holding her chin with both hands and raised her head, “Little girl Gu, it’s so beautiful.”

Gu Xizhi had just woken up, and seeing her was even more unusual, “Why here?” He threw the dog next to him off the bed, “Has it bathed yet?”

Liang Ying sighed and stood up from the bed, “Sure enough, it’s more beautiful when you’re sleeping.”

Gu Xizhi didn’t bother to talk to her, and after getting out of bed, he put on a coat before turning around and asking, “Parents are on a business trip again?”

“Who is so reassuring?”

“You can’t talk properly.” Gu Xizhi put on his clothes and went to open the door, “Are you coming by yourself?”

“Xiao Tang will accompany you, but he will wait in the dining area downstairs.”

Gu Xizhi paused when he opened the door, “Why is he free?”

“He said he was living with Xiao Aqu, so he asked to come over to see it.”

Gu Xizhi looked at her, saw that she didn’t seem to be lying, so he opened the door and walked to the bathroom.

Qu Xizhi had already woken up at seven o’clock in the morning. Gu Xizhi saw that she was using the bathroom to water the flowers on the balcony. When he glanced at the bathroom, Gu Xizhi’s footsteps stopped for a moment. Liang Ying, who had just left the bedroom at the time of the conflict, had already screamed , “Xiao Aqu, what on earth have you been throwing up after eating?”

Qu Xizhi turned on the faucet and wiped his hands with a damp cloth. When he turned around, he didn’t seem to have any discomfort, “It’s okay, I’m in a hurry, let’s go first.”

Liang Ying tilted her head and rubbed her chin, looked at her indifferent look, then looked at Gu Xizhi who was watering the flowers on the balcony as if nothing had happened, wrinkled her nose and snorted.

Tang Yu had a rare vacation these days. After having breakfast with Gu Xizhi in the morning, he sent her to the set, and picked her up on time at six o’clock in the evening.

Liang Ying, who had played with Tang Yu all day, was obviously very happy. As soon as he entered the set at night, he called his sister everywhere. After receiving a lot of praise, he happily ran back to Gu Xizhi, who was still taking off his makeup.

“Hey, they said it was cute.”

“That’s because my mother has a good relationship.”

Liang Ying wrinkled her nose unhappily, hugged the dog in her arms and threatened, “Throw away pee pee carefully.”

Gu Xizhi ignored her, but Qiqi suddenly broke free and jumped towards the dressing table because she was afraid of the constant struggle in this position.

The actress in the dressing room with Gu Xizhi originally wanted to avoid Liang Ying when she saw Liang Ying approaching, but now that Qi Qi jumped in front of her, she jumped up from her seat almost immediately, and even knocked over the makeup tools in the hands of the makeup artist.

There was such a big movement all of a sudden, Gu Xizhi looked at the actress inexplicably, but the actress was quick and said to Liang Ying immediately, “Take it back.”

Liang Ying looked at her frightened look, hugged the dog without saying a word, blinked her eyes and made a very apologetic look, “I’m sorry, sister, I didn’t expect it to jump out.”

The female celebrity seemed to have lingering fears, she waved her hands casually and walked out of the dressing room.

Gu Xizhi asked inexplicably after she left, “What happened to her?”

“I’m allergic to animal hair.” Liang Ying said nonchalantly, “Xiao Ah Zhong is too.”

Gu Xizhi nodded, and after a while, he seemed to think of something again, “Is it Zhong Linshan?”

“Hmm.” Liang Ying snorted casually, and then urged, “Hurry up, Brother Tang is still waiting outside.”

Gu Xizhi seemed to be overwhelmed. After looking at her for a long time, he still didn’t move his eyes away. In the end, the makeup artist just followed her direction and continued to remove makeup for her.

It’s been a while since work was over, and the crew on the set is almost gone, because it’s still raining, and some actors are waiting for their assistants to take umbrellas. When Gu Xizhi went out, Ling Xian had just held up an umbrella to pick up Qu Xi and got into the car. It was misty and rainy outside. When Ling Xian saw Gu Xizhi, he said by the way, “Miss Gu, there is another umbrella here, please send it.”

“No need, Big Brother Tang will be here soon.” Liang Ying immediately turned to Ling Xian with sparkling eyes.

While she was speaking, Tang Yuzhen walked over holding a long black umbrella, Ling Xian looked at Tang Yu, then at Gu Xizhi, and held up the umbrella for Qu Xizhi with a smile.

There was a rustling sound on the falling leaves of the rain, and Er’s back quickly disappeared into the rain. Gu Xizhi looked at it for a long time before saying to Tang Yu, “Let’s go.”

Sometimes it’s very strange. I obviously hated a certain food before, but I can suddenly become obsessed with the taste of that food at a certain moment.

For Gu Xizhi, although alcohol is far from fascinated by her, it is definitely a huge leap for her to go from loathing it to barely accepting it, and her body is able to accept it.

After dinner, Gu Xizhi went back to the hotel in a slightly drunk state. Tang Yu sent her to the door of the room before going back. He happened to meet a few familiar people on the way, and most of them would give them ambiguous looks.

There are many rumors in the entertainment industry, but Gu Xizhi didn’t care about this one.

After saying goodbye to Tang Yu, Gu Xizhi took out the key and opened the door after he left. There is no light in the living room, only the light from the LED LCD TV lights up the entire space. After Gu Xizhi turned on the lights, he found that Qu Xizhi was half lying on the sofa watching TV, and then turned off one of the lights to make the indoor light less bright.

Open the bedroom door, take a shower, do the laundry, and go back to the bedroom. When doing these things, Gu Xizhi has been calmly doing nothing, and Qu Xizhi has been quietly watching the same program in the living room. If you don’t check carefully, you may even think that she has already fallen asleep on the sofa.

It took Gu Xizhi two full hours from returning to the hotel to finishing drying his hair. After turning off the bathroom light, Gu Xizhi looked at Qu Xizhi on the eye socket sofa, as if to be more polite, and also as if she wanted something for herself. Something she didn’t understand, she didn’t turn her head until she opened the bedroom door and said, “Good night.”

Qu Xizhi still sat on the sofa watching TV with no expression on his face, as if his eyes were a little sluggish in the already rigid and dim light and shadow.

She raised her head to look at Gu Xizhi, but didn’t say a word, she just looked at her for a long time, the emotion in her eyes was covered by thick eyelashes.

“I still have to film tomorrow morning, so get some rest early.”

Gu Xizhi dropped his words and looked away.

The door lock slammed, and once again only the chatter of the host on the TV was left in the living room.

The weather forecast said that there will be rain for a week, but the rain for two days and two nights has paralyzed the city’s traffic several times.

After the windows were closed, the room was obviously much quieter. Gu Xizhi lay down on the bed, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he could not sleep peacefully as if caused by alcohol.

Although the sound of the TV in the living room is very small, the sound of needles falling at midnight is still very clear. After turning over again, Gu Xizhi fumbled for the phone, and the time clearly showed one o’clock in the middle of the night.

People with insomnia always yearn for sleepiness. Gu Xizhi turned on the light and turned out the French textbook she carried with her to study hard, trying to get back to the state of feeling sleepy after reading a page, but after a long time, she also read it. A lot, but more and more spiritual.

When he was thinking about something in his heart, he would toss and turn and find it difficult to sleep. After trying to find many ways to get sleepy but with little success, Gu Xizhi turned off the light again and listened quietly to the sound of rain outside the window.

Girls always like to dream about some romantic and far-fetched things when they dream back at midnight. For example, tomorrow they can receive a large bouquet of flowers and diamond rings from them. For example, the person they like may also like themselves. Even after many years, he still regards her as the only one who remains unswerving.

Think too much and finally just sigh.

In Gu Xizhi’s gradually calming thoughts, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep quietly.

The roar of thunder outside, the sudden heavy rain and the dazzling lightning seemed to herald some kind of change in the world. Although it was on a tall building, Gu Xizhi’s mind was stunned by the trembling of the debris in the house.

In an island country like Japan, she has encountered three earthquakes in the two years. Although she has a strong awareness of prevention, the surrounding people are often injured, so her precautions against such disasters have also reached unprecedented heights. Therefore, when When there was a sign of shaking on the floor, she got up almost immediately, put on her clothes and opened the door.

The living room was still the same as it was before she entered the bedroom, but Qu Xizhi leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly, wondering if he had fallen asleep.

The floor was still trembling, Gu Xizhi didn’t care much, and immediately walked to her side after turning on the light and patted her on the shoulder, “Qu Xizhi, it seems that an earthquake has struck, hurry up and follow.”

When she opened her eyes, Gu Xizhi realized that her eyes were still calm and clear, but they were not much better than before. Before Gu Xizhi could explain more to her, he took her hand and said, “Whatever?” Whatever you think, follow immediately.”

On the way to escape, Gu Xizhi kept knocking on the door on the same floor to remind everyone, because it was midnight, and many of them were already asleep at this time, so the calling process was extremely slow, and the floors of the two schools were as high as 16 floors, so Gu Xizhi was halfway through the call He said to Qu Xizhi, “Go down first, don’t take the elevator, go and call Lili now.”

Qu Xizhi seemed to be a creature that had finally regained consciousness. Hearing her words, he just said, “Go and call her, now.” He walked away without looking back.

After the knock on the door just now, more and more rooms sounded the door opening sound, and the floor was still shaking. Everyone quickly realized what happened and rushed to the emergency.

Gu Xizhi watched Qu Xizhi’s back getting farther and farther away, felt the shaking under his feet, but couldn’t help but ran up to hold her hand, “Come along, let’s go together.”

Lili’s room was on the thirteenth floor of the room, just at the turn of the stairs, and ran into her just as she was going down the stairs. Gu Xizhi took her hand and ran down together without thinking.

Due to the rain outside the house, those who had avoided the disaster outside the hotel appeared to be in a state of distress. Although there was no large-scale shaking, the occasional vibrations on the ground still made everyone extremely uneasy.

Because he walked so fast that he didn’t have time to put on his coat, Qu Xizhi, who was only wearing suspenders, was almost swallowed by the rain.

There is not much open space around, it is everywhere, Gu Xizhi took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, “Go and cover things from the rain, I will be right back, just stand here and don’t move.”

When more people tried their best to flee to the outside of the hotel, only a few ran to the inside of the hotel. Gu Xi ran out of the guest room on the first floor with a few pieces of bed sheets and bath towels. No time to take care of those around you.

When Gu Xizhi returned to the original place, there were many production crews gathered in space and place. Those female stars who usually showed off their beauty finally became ordinary people at this moment. Only Qu Xizhi still stood upright in the face of wind and rain, like a machine that doesn’t know how to get tired.

Gu Xizhi used the sheets to cover her from the wind and rain, looked at her side face and said, “If the earthquake is not too strong, go home, that kind of villa is the safest.”

Qu Xizhi looked back at her sideways, but didn’t speak.

The constant shaking lasted for nearly half an hour. Some people with mobile phones found that the earthquake had appeared in the news. At the same time, the tragedy at the epicenter made more people prefer to shiver in the wind and rain than return to the upper floors of the hotel.

If this continues, the whole night will be spent in the wind and rain. After waiting for half an hour, Gu Xizhi wiped off the water on his face, propped up the bed sheet and said to Qu Xizhi, “Go home, this place is still close to home, and you can walk for at most 20 minutes.” Minutes, besides, mom will be worried all the time here.”

Ling Xian, who had already come down, also persuaded, “Yes Xiaoqu, go home quickly, the environment here is too bad.”

Qu Xizhi raised his head and looked at the boundless darkness. After thinking for a long time, he turned his head and said to Gu Xizhi, “Can I give it away?”

Gu Xizhi froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

Although the ground tremors came to an end for the time being, Gu Xizhi still protected Qu Xizhi to avoid the buildings on both sides of the road due to the earthquake that might come again at any time.

The disaster made the deserted road no longer so deserted. Gu Xizhi sent Qu Xizhi all the way to the end of the road, and the turning was already extremely empty.

Looking at the green belts on both sides of the road, Gu Xizhi stopped at the fork, looked at the back who had been two steps ahead of her, and said, “Just send it here, be careful, and remember to wear more clothes when you go back so you don’t get sick.”

The street lamps elongated the figures of the two, and Qu Xizhi stood in the same place and listened to her finish speaking quietly, before saying, “Okay.”

“En.” Gu Xizhi looked down at her shadow, thought for a while, and seemed to feel that he didn’t have anything to say, so he turned around slowly.

The skin hurt from the big raindrops, Gu Xizhi turned around and stepped on his own shadow with his head down, his eyes did not have the fear of experiencing a disaster, but were very calm.

Many times, when we learn to survive in pain, we become extremely numb.

The lonely shadow seems to be printed deeper on the wet ground, and the two figures from different directions are so alike.

Another shadow intersected in the rain, Gu Xizhi stopped abruptly, and looked up at the dim lights in the distance.

Qu Xizhi put his hands around her waist, and leaned his head on her shoulder, as if he suddenly changed, and the hug seemed extra sensitive and cautious.

“Yes, there is really no other way.” She tightened her hands, her fragile voice seemed to have been baptized by wind and rain, “Let’s turn around, okay?”
