Chapter 29 fireworks

When she and Xie Yu were still together, she inadvertently mentioned her birthday and the little things at home, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Xie Yu listened to her unintentional words and immediately told her He promised to wait until next year to give her a birthday of her own, and swore to assure her that she would spend every birthday with her from now on.

At that time, she was really touched, and for the first time in her life, she had a strong sense of anticipation for her birthday, but later facts proved that everything he promised her was a mirror image, and the beautiful illusion was broken as soon as it was poked.

After that unforgettable wedding, she no longer had any expectations in her heart, whether it was for him or her own birthday.

Now listening to Xie Yu say this, she only feels hypocritical and even disgusting: “I don’t need you to remember, don’t call me again in the future.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation, and then blocked the strange number.

In fact, she had already blocked all of Xie Yu’s contact information, but she had no way of predicting in advance what Xie Yu’s newly registered mobile phone number would be.

After hanging down her phone, she let out a long sigh and glanced at the tray in her left hand again. Suddenly, she lost the desire to eat cakes, or to say, she lost the desire to celebrate her birthday, so she decisively left the long queue and put the strawberries away. The cake was put back in the freezer.

There are many ways to spend lonely time, not necessarily a birthday.

Su Yan decided to love herself in a different way.

When she walked out of the dessert shop, it was just after seven o’clock in the evening. The summer sky was in the transition period from white to black. She went to the convenience store and bought Baxi ice cream. She was going to watch a movie when she returned to her room. While eating ice cream.

The Presidential Suite in a five-star hotel is equipped with a home theater—a separate space, an oversized projection screen, a white leather movie sofa, a surround sound system—that makes me yearn just to think about it.

I was busy with work a while ago. After returning to the hotel every night, I had to fine-tune the follow-up script according to the actual situation. After the adjustment, I had to send it to the director for verification. After correcting it, I continued to revise it, and then send it again and correct it, and wait until it was completely revised. It was almost twelve o’clock in the morning, so she didn’t have time to enjoy such a high-end home theater.

Fortunately, she got off work early today, and all her work was postponed for a day. She didn’t have to continue picking scripts. She was able to steal a half-day leisure, and finally had time to devote herself to the embrace of home theater.

In order to watch a movie well, she not only bought two boxes of ice cream for herself, but also bought a lot of snacks and two bottles of fruit wine, one bottle of plum-flavored sake and one bottle of cherry-flavored sweet wine.

The convenience store did not provide shopping bags, so she put all the things she bought into her canvas bag. The white handbag was stuffed to the top, and the black cartoon kitten printed on it looked like it was fed three times. , She couldn’t carry it, so she chose to hold the bulging bag in her arms.

The temperature in the summer evening was sultry, and when she walked to the hotel’s gate, a hot flush appeared on her fair cheeks, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her smooth and plump forehead.

As soon as she walked into the door of the hotel, the comfortable cold air rushed towards her. She couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and her mood improved a lot. However, in the next second, she froze and stared at the center of the hotel lobby. Man posing on black leather sofa.

Bai Xingfan wore a light gray suit today, with a white shirt and a black tie. The silver tie clip echoes the platinum Patek Philippe on his left wrist. A line is exposed at the left breast pocket. The edge of the black handkerchief is just right to embellish his meticulous dress, and the whole person looks elegant and extravagant.

And what he exudes is not the kind of extravagance that is dressed up by dressing up, but a kind of extravagance that is innate and deep in his bones, a kind of temperament that ordinary people can never cultivate.

No matter how high-end the clothes are, they are just icing on the cake for him.

After seeing Su Yan, his expression did not change, he calmly tapped the armrest of the sofa with his right index finger.

Su Yan was unprepared, at a loss, and froze in place sluggishly and forcefully.

Bai Xingfan sighed lightly and stood up from the sofa.

Su Yan finally regained her senses, pursed her lips uneasily, and finally said nothing, lowered her eyes, and walked towards the elevator with her head buried in it.

Bai Xingfan followed her into the elevator.

There were not many guests at this time, and only the two of them took the elevator. After the elevator door was slowly closed, the confined space magnified the awkward atmosphere countless times.

At first, neither of them spoke. Su Yan held the canvas bag in her arms, buried her head tightly, and kept reciting in her heart: Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t be embarrassed, as long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s him who is embarrassed!

However, this self-suggestion could not save her embarrassment.

This hotel is thirty-six floors high, and the elevator has not yet reached the eighteenth floor, so Su Yan couldn’t help it, she gritted her teeth and glanced at the reflection of Bai Xingfan on the elevator door in front, and asked in a low voice, “You How come?”

Bai Xingfan didn’t change his face, and slowly opened his lips: “Didn’t Miss Su say it? Let me take care of you more.”

Su Yan: “…”

She did say this, because she wanted to borrow Bai Xingfan’s name, so as to enhance her voice and status in the crew, so that she could effectively prevent her script from being tampered with.

But at that time, he hadn’t given her so many precious gifts, and she didn’t have the attitude to return the gifts resolutely. She just wanted him to do her a favor, as an ordinary friend.

But now, everything has changed a bit.

On the premise that he has already rejected others’ wishes, how can he be so embarrassed to continue to ask others for help?

Su Yan became more and more embarrassed, so embarrassed that she could dig a hole in the sole with her toes.

But she couldn’t show this embarrassment, otherwise it would only make it more embarrassing, so she tried her best to show a natural look and tone: “Thank you, but you don’t need to continue to help in the future, they will definitely not change the script again. Now, and it’s troublesome for you to come all the way from Dongsuke.”

Bai Xingfan looked down at Su Yan in the mirror: “Miss Su means you don’t need me now, right?”

Su Yan: “…”

Why are you speaking so bitterly and resentfully? Makes me seem like a bad woman crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!

She couldn’t help blushing: “I didn’t mean that!”

Bai Xingfan asked again, “What does Miss Su mean?”

Su Yan bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and told the truth: “Don’t continue to waste time on me, it will be fruitless.”

Bai Xingfan was indifferent: “This is my business, don’t bother you.”

“…”

Su Yan’s hands and fingers slammed **** the bulging canvas bag a few times. At the same time, she was in a struggle in her heart, tossing back and forth between compromising with him and completely explaining the words, and finally chose the latter. He said to him in an unquestionable way: “We really don’t fit, and I don’t like you either, you deserve a better person.”

“You are the best.”

Bai Xingfan’s voice was calm and his tone was firm, like a dose of poison, which instantly paralyzed Su Yan’s willpower, and she felt dizzy, and her emotions and reason both fell into a state of out of control.

She feels like a wild horse that is about to get out of the rein now. She is bound by only her remaining rationality. Once her emotions break free from the reins of rationality, or her rationality falls apart, she will be desperate. Hit the south wall.

The man standing beside her at this moment is the southern wall of her life.

Su Yan fell into complete silence, not because she had nothing to say, but because she was desperately trying to maintain her sanity and not allow any distraction.

Fortunately, Bai Xingfan didn’t speak again, otherwise she really couldn’t continue to resist.

The car finally reached the thirty-sixth floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, Su Yan seemed to have finally been released from the oxygen-free vacuum, and quickly walked out of the elevator, heading towards her room without looking back. He walked over and left Bai Xingfan far behind.

But when she walked to the door of the room, she remembered that the key card was still in her purse, and the purse was at the bottom of the stuffed canvas bag she was holding in her arms.

With a long sigh, she bent down and put the bag on the ground, then squatted down, just when she was about to flip through her wallet, the door opened with a “drip” sound.

Bai Xingfan opened the door with his room card.

Su Yan squatted on the ground, looked up at the tall Bai Xingfan, and suddenly felt like a stupid little radish.

After she stood up from the ground holding the bag, Bai Xingfan gently opened the door and said warmly, “Go in.”

Su Yan lowered her head, silently walked into the room, and saw the black suitcase in front of the shoe cabinet.

She recognized that this suitcase belonged to Bai Xingfan.

It seemed that he had already arrived at the hotel, but instead of waiting for her in the room, he deliberately went to the first floor and sat in the lobby to wait for her to come back.

In an instant, her heart began to feel awkward again: if only the gap between status and class was not so big, she would be worthy of him, and there would not be so many worries and concerns.

Sighing lightly, she walked into the living room with her things in her arms, then put the canvas bag on the coffee table, and began to take things out one by one. The first thing she took out were two boxes of ice cream and two bottles of fruit wine.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Bai Xingfan frowned slightly: “Someone is coming?”

“No.” Su Yan was stunned.

Bai Xingfan: “Why did you buy two copies of everything?”

You are watching very carefully.

Su Yan replied confidently: “Because I want to eat two flavors, change one bite at a time, and eat them alternately.”

Bai Xingfan suddenly thought of eating Sichuan food at noon that day, and she ordered two cups of milk tea by herself.

Su Yan glanced at him quietly: “Aren’t you going to start health science again?”

Bai Xingfan smiled helplessly: “No, it’s good.”

Su Yan was noncommittal and looked at him: “Aren’t you mocking me again?”

“…”

Bai Xingfan sighed lightly: “It seems that Miss Su has misunderstood me quite a bit.”

Su Yan: “You are!”

Bai Xingfan explained: “If this thing makes you happy, it’s a good thing.” After a pause, he added, “It’s not limited to buying double milk tea and ice cream, but also buying bags and shoes. , buy lipstick.”

Su Yan was taking things out of the canvas bag. After hearing his words, her movements froze. After a few seconds, she slowly returned to her senses and turned to look at Bai Xingfan: “I don’t think I am very Vanity?”

In order to cater to the eyes of others, in order not to be looked down upon by others, go shopping without buying cheap milk tea or cheap cosmetics, blindly pursuing expensiveness and luxury. In the eyes of most people, this is vanity and money worship.

But in fact, she was just very afraid, afraid of being looked down on by others – it was a feeling of fear from the bottom of her heart, she was afraid that others would call her a scumbag, that she was a country love heroine, so she tried her best to wrap herself up and let herself see Looks bright and shiny.

“I don’t think so.” The setting sun outside the window fell on Bai Xingfan’s face, softening his angular facial features and reflecting his look very tenderly, “You just need to do whatever you want.”

He never thought she was a vain and money-loving woman, and if she really was, he wouldn’t have to bother so much now.

In the past month or so, he has also thought about the differences between them many times. Although he still does not agree with this kind of mentality that cares too much about other people’s opinions, he understands this kind of mentality—

Not everyone is born with everything, everyone is qualified to pursue the lifestyle they want, and he is not qualified to judge others.

“I apologize to you for what I said that day.” He looked serious and opened his mouth frankly.

Su Yan was startled again and looked at him in astonishment. After a few seconds, she frowned slightly: “Which sentence are you referring to?”

“…”

Bai Xingfan was silent for a moment: “It seems that I said a lot of things that made Miss Su unhappy.”

Su Yan showed no mercy: “Yes, a lot.”

Bai Xingfan did not excuse himself: “Apologize for every sentence.”

Su Yan felt much better, but she was still a little aggrieved: “I have never looked down on myself. If I really look down on myself, I don’t have to worry that others will look down on me.”

On that day, his original words were: “No one will look down on you, only you will look down on yourself.”

This sentence is really heart-wrenching, and she still broods about it to this day.

Bai Xingfan also expected that it was mainly because of this sentence, and apologized again: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”

Su Yan finally let go, but it was mainly for the relief of this sentence, and there was another sentence that made her resentful to this day. This sentence is not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting. As long as she thinks about it, it makes her very angry. : “Normal people finish their undergraduate degree in four years!”

Bai Xingfan recalled the conversation that day, but never thought that what he said at that time would make her so angry, so he asked: “What did I say?”

“Undergraduate degree is not difficult, two years is enough to complete all the credits.” Su Yan repeated this sentence without changing a word, and even vividly interpreted his expression and tone at the time, “This is Calling Versailles without knowing it is really worth it!”

Bai Xingfan: “…”

He thought for a moment and asked seriously, “What is Versailles?”

It seems that you really don’t know… Su Yan sighed: “It’s just a show of indifference, a high profile in a low-key form!”

Bai Xingfan: “For example?”

Su Yan: “For example, you rented a private jet, then took a photo and posted it on your Moments, with the caption: The weather is really nice today. It seems that you are talking about the weather, but you are actually showing off the private jet you rented.”

Bai Xingfan frowned slightly, puzzled: “Why should I rent someone else’s plane?”

Su Yan: “Because you want to show off.”

Bai Xingfan: “But I have it myself.” When he said this, he wasn’t sure if he was in Versailles, so he said cautiously, “I don’t like taking pictures of planes either.”

Su Yan: “…”

She felt the blow.

Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to look calm: “Okay, let’s be here today, I’m going to take a bath.” She quickly put the ice cream and fruit wine into the cupboard under the TV cabinet In the small refrigerator, he walked towards the bedroom without even looking at Bai Xingfan.

When he was about to enter the room, Bai Xingfan’s voice came from behind: “Come out early.”

Su Yan paused and looked back at him: “Is something wrong?”

Bai Xingfan stood against the light with a soft expression: “Well.”

Su Yan: “What’s the matter?”

Bai Xingfan: “I can’t say it for the time being.”

Su Yan: “…”

Well, it’s also mysterious.

She didn’t bother to talk to him so much, she said “got it”, then walked into the bedroom, took off her clothes and took a shower.

Although she promised to come out earlier, she didn’t take this sentence seriously, and the girl was slow to take a shower, so when she came out of the bedroom again, it was almost half past eight, and the people outside the window It was already dark.

There was no one in the living room, Su Yan looked around with her eyes, and saw Bai Xingfan in the sky garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

There is a set of leisure tables and chairs in the center of the garden. At this time, Bai Xingfan is sitting on the sofa chair on the right side of the round table.

The chair is a light yellow walnut structure with a light grey soft sponge cushion on top.

Su Yan walked into the balcony, walked towards the sofa chair on the left, and asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Bai Xingfan looked back at her with a slight smile in his eyes: “Sit down first.”

“Okay.” Su Yan sat in the sofa chair and looked up to see the entire film and television city.

The night is bright, moonless, but the sky is full of stars.

Under the Milky Way of Kyushu, the antique-style buildings are magnificent and full of charm. On the periphery of the film and television city, there are mountains and mountains, which are endless and ups and downs.

Martial law tonight, no one in the city, but the lights are on, and bright yellow light is shining under the eaves of each carved beam and painted building, reflecting the beautiful outlines of one palace after another.

In the night, a palace is exquisite, a palace is brilliant, and time seems to return to thousands of years ago in an instant.

Su Yan was instantly overwhelmed by the scene in front of her.

When she was stunned, Bai Xingfan’s voice suddenly reached her ears: “Want to watch fireworks?”

Su Yan turned her face and looked at him inexplicably: “Huh?”

Bai Xingfan raised his left hand and glanced at his watch: “The time is just right.” Then he began to count down, “Five, four, three, two, one.”

The moment his voice fell, a loud noise suddenly exploded in front of him, Su Yan turned back suddenly, and at the same time, a huge firework exploded in the night sky above the film and television city. the whole sky. After fully blooming, the fireworks did not dissipate, but turned into countless small colorful fireworks, one after another connected into pieces, covering the entire starry sky like brocade.

Su Yan stared blankly.

After several gorgeous fireworks exploded in the night sky, she suddenly recovered and looked at Bai Xingfan in disbelief.

Bai Xingfan’s eyes were fixed on her face from beginning to end, and his expression was as gentle as water.

The moment he looked at her, he opened his mouth slowly and said in a dignified tone, “Miss Su, happy birthday.”
