Chapter 19 Jade Leopard Town Ruler

The premiere ceremony of "Browning's Love" was held at the Guci Grand Theater as usual. At that time, He Zhengxu and Chen Dong and other officials of the Ministry of Literature and Art, the Military and Political Department, and the bosses of various film companies attended the ceremony. Huai Yan also dressed up at Xu Zhengyang's request today. Fan, in order to match the role, put on a military uniform, with a posture like a bamboo, and a face as beautiful as a jade, standing in front of the stage when the light shines, it is so dazzling that it is too dazzling to make people look at it.

There are a lot of celebrities coming today, Miss Su and Qin Shengru are both there, the theater is full of people on the third and third floors, and there is a large circle of eager fans outside. Yan, the eyes from the audience looking at him are also complicated, there are admiration and jealousy, and Huai Yan doesn't care. According to his previous character, he must be blushing and nervous when he speaks in front of so many people. Just now, he had been thinking about more important things, but he became calm and calm, letting the flash light on.

After the ceremony such as speeches and group photos, the film also began to be shown. Huai Yan and Liang Wenmo and other colleagues from the Literature and Art Department were sitting together. Liang Wenmo was dissatisfied with his brother's restraint on him, so he seized the opportunity to meet with the audience and the Palesi company. Huai Yan sat alone, and was surrounded by people who complimented him. Qin Shengru, who was beside him, kept his face cold. After sitting for a while, Huai Yan got up and retreated silently to the dark place, standing beside the railing. Looking at the division of the Military and Political Department, he didn't see the figure of the man, not only sighed helplessly, but at this time he didn't want to go back to his seat, so he turned his head and walked into the box, pouring himself a glass of water to drink.

He was sitting under the orange light, only to find a handsome and upright figure on the other side of the table. The man was wearing a gray-brown English suit, with straight and thick shoulders and a perfect slender waist. He was smoking a cigarette in silence. While watching the movie, Huai Yan stared at him for a moment, and when he saw the profile of his face highlighted by the screen, he recognized that it was Lu Jingyun, and the screen outside the gate was just his own shot, he became shy, the shot Cut it before you dare to walk over and say hello.

"Sir Lu..."

Hearing this soft call, Lu Jingyun turned his head. In fact, he had seen him long ago, so he was confused just now. When he saw Huai Yan's face, he felt a little more agile than in the movie, and his heart was confused again, so he reached out and pressed it. Two-thirds of the cigarettes left.

Huai Yan had never actually seen him smoking, but when he saw him, he put out the cigarette and hurriedly said, "Sir, it's fine."

Lu Jingyun just pointed to the opposite side and motioned him to sit down, "The finished film is good, but you don't seem to be in high spirits."

"Because I've been in the city for the past few days... it's really better to get used to it in the military camp." After hearing this, Huai Yan felt something almost rushed out of his heart, and he gathered up the courage to ask, "Have you eaten dinner, Chief Lu? ?"

Lu Jingyun said lightly, "I've already used it."

Huai Yan couldn't say the second half of the sentence. In the literary and art circle, it was normal to invite people to eat and drink. However, because he cared about it, he felt extremely difficult to say. He thought about the purpose of today, so he had to say again : "There is a tea room upstairs in the theater. Can Chief Lu move around to enjoy the light? I know that Chief's time is precious, but after leaving the barracks, it's not easy to see Chief..."

He had a beautiful voice and a gentle tone. He heard a clear spring splashing into the narrow-mouthed pot and bottle. Ripples appeared layer by layer, and the walls of the bottle trembled. Lu Jingyun looked at him for a moment and knew him. Such an active invitation must have a purpose. Lu Jingyun didn't intend to get involved in the matter about "Lu Jiang" that the admiral said that day, but at this time it became more and more difficult. However, he carried his same secret selfishness, or Tucked the matchbox on the table into the inner pocket and stood up.

The two went up the open-air stairs behind the box to the tea room. The guests were watching the movie attentively below, but seeing that the rows of seats in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were empty, the waiter was so excited when he saw Huai Yan coming here. No matter what, she brought the menu over, and after they ordered tea, she asked Huai Yan to sign the back of the empty bill, and then she left like a treasure.

"The commander saved my life and gave me all kinds of help. I couldn't repay it, but..." Huai Yan cherished this rare alone moment in his heart, but was afraid of delaying his time, so he could only cut to the chase. "I have one more thing to ask..."

Lu Jingyun nodded, "If you have something to do, just say it."

Huai Yan raised his eyes to meet his gaze, "Sir, I want to... join the army and enter the camp."

Lu Jingyun's heart sank fiercely. Judging from Huai Yan's request, he has almost confirmed his spy status...

So bold, so straightforward, so ignorant of hiding... How did he live so long...

Thinking of this, Lu Jingyun couldn't help laughing softly, "Why?"

"I had this desire since I was a child, but I had no access in the military before, and I couldn't go to a military school." Huai Yan said earnestly: "You said before that I can shoot and target well... Can I ask for an introduction from the military? Letter... If I pass the examination of the recruit sniper battalion, I will definitely serve the commander well in the army..."

Huai Yan didn't say any more. In fact, it was understandable to ask someone for help and give some kind of return, but he didn't know what Lu Jingyun liked, he only knew that he didn't like money, so Huai Yan took out a silk bag from his pocket and put it in. On the table, Lu Jingyun raised his eyebrows. He pondered for a moment before opening the silk cloth. Inside was a leopard-shaped ruler carved from rough jade. It felt smooth and cold to the touch. Lu Jingyun saw that the leopard's shape was almost the same as the one on his badge. Knowing that the person in front of him had put a lot of thought into it, he sighed and said, "Carved it yourself?"

"I drew the appearance, I wanted to carve it for the officer, but unfortunately I didn't have the skill." Huai Yan told the truth, from the time Lu Jingyun rescued him, he wanted to give him something, and he actually took time to practice secretly. , I grinded a few bubbles on my hand, but they couldn't form, so I had to hand over the drawing to the master.

"It's a good thing, but unfortunately I can't." Lu Jingyun sighed and pushed the silk bag back, "I can't do it because of your business."

Huai Yanru was slapped with a sap. He originally had some hope, but he didn't want Lu Jingyun to refuse so decisively.

Lu Jingyun continued: "The reason why the army is called the army is because its procedural system never fails. Therefore, Lu has never done things like letters of introduction, and will not make exceptions for anyone in the future."

He has always been concise and clear in his words. Huai Yan already knew that this was no longer possible. He suppressed the endless loss in his heart and smiled bitterly: "But three years ago, it was precisely because of the lack of this letter that I could not enter the military academy... "

"The atmosphere in the Chen'an army should change, but I don't have the ability for the time being. I can only do my best to maintain the Qingming of the Eighth Regiment." Lu Jingyun knew that what he said was a bit high-sounding, but he could only do so at this time. The waiter brought up two bowls of Yuanxiao. Lu Jingyun looked at Huai Yan and lowered his head, as if some liquid was dripping on the Lantern Festival in front of him. He suddenly felt his heart throbbing.

It was the night of the Lantern Festival. Outside the window, the lotus root gauze lamp with riddles written on it swayed, blurring the light to pieces. Fireworks bloomed from time to time in the distance. Bao pushed back, "Sir, take it... as a Lantern Festival gift... Is it okay?"

Lu Jingyun had no reason to refuse. He took the jade leopard and clenched it tightly in his palm.

They went back downstairs after the Lantern Festival. The movie was almost over. Huai Yan went back to Liang Wenmo and sat beside him. He couldn't watch the movie again. Liang Wenmo kept asking him where he was, but he didn't quite Answer, wait until the end of the movie, and everyone will go to the banquet hall to hold a reception. At this time, Huai Yan, as the protagonist, can't hide, so he can only socialize.

Although he doesn't like to drink, he can't save face. In addition, because of the sadness in his heart, he drank a little more, and gradually his face became warm, but he also took precautions. Thinking silently, the red wine was poured from a public bottle, and the glass itself has been checked. Although Liang Wenzhe is not here today, it is impossible to guarantee that there are no other suspicious people...

Alas, what a humble and insignificant person I am, how can I still live to this point, I have to be on guard at all times... How can I have such value!

Huai Yan is humble by nature, and success in movies cannot give him much self-confidence. At this moment, he feels a little bit emotional after drinking, but he underestimates himself. Although his self-esteem no longer allows him to talk to Lu Jingyun, he still can't help but talk to Lu Jingyun. Looking at it frequently, when he realized that he couldn't control his eyes, a new round of melancholy and powerlessness came up again, and he had to raise his glass to cover it up.

"Huaiyan seems happy today." Xu Zhengyang smiled and said to Liang Wenmo, "Mr. Liang, when did you see Huaiyan drinking so much wine?"

"I think he seems to have something on his mind." Liang Wenmo replied, and went to hold Huai Yan, "Huai Yan, you have already paid respects, don't drink anymore."

Huai Yan smiled and said, "Wen Mo, today the movie is on, I'm happy."

Liang Wenmo saw that his eyes were starting to loosen, and he hurriedly called Jinghua's bodyguard to escort Huai Yan back to the hotel next to him.

"Wenmo, won't you come back?" Huai Yan had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to talk about. Although it was impossible to tell Liang Wenmo about Lu Jingyun, it was good to talk about him.

Liang Wenmo wondered: "Huai Yan, I would like to hear their Americans' opinions on my script. You know, if it wasn't interesting to read my script, Palesi might also regret my contract because of my brother. of……"

Huai Yan sighed to show his understanding. He let the bodyguards take him back to the Xihua Hotel next to him. When he stepped into the door, he felt that the wine was coming up, his head suddenly became heavy, and he closed the curtains. Just fell asleep.

An hour later, it was already dark, the door was swiped open again, and Lu Jingyun walked in with a suit hanging on his arm. His ears were very good, and as soon as he came in, he heard the light breathing on the bed in the dark.

It seems that the waiter gave the wrong key card. Lu Jingyun turned around and withdrew. Just as he was about to close the door, the lights on the porch reflected on the hangers in the room, and he saw his familiar military uniform.

Lu Jingyun stood at the door and paused for a few seconds, then walked into the room, the door was closed inside, and the corridor returned to darkness and silence.

After all, it is also a token of love, oh!
