Chapter 31

When she got home, Xia Xiai didn't unpack the watch and put the watch together with the box in the back of the drawer.

If he took it out and put it on, Jiang Liushen might have discovered it, and that person would have ridiculed him for buying the same watch. He was embarrassed to explain the reason. It can't be seen by fans, otherwise CP fans are afraid to explode.

So 250,000 is equivalent to a waste of water... Hey, just take it as a lesson for yourself, don't be too self-righteous in the future.

In the past few days, Xu Tong's family had something to do, and no one helped to bring meals. He bought some fresh vegetables and beef in the supermarket in the shopping mall, and prepared to cook a pot of curry by himself for two days. It’s been a long time since I cooked by myself. I used to help my grandfather to cook it every day when I was in the countryside. After all, the children in the countryside are in charge early. Although it’s not delicious, every meal is delicious.

Xia Xiai rolled up her sleeves, cut the beef into small pieces and threw them into cold water to blanch the blood. After rinsing, put in ginger and cooking wine and cook until half cooked. At the same time, cut the potatoes, carrots and onions into pieces. The pot is fried, and when the heat is almost on, add the beef and ready-made curry cubes, cover and simmer until the soup is thick, and a pot of fragrant curry potatoes and beef can be served on a plate.

Perhaps it was because the food he made was particularly rewarding. He ate two large bowls in one go, his stomach was bulging, and it was almost eight o'clock after washing the dishes.

Today is Saturday, which happens to be the broadcast date of the fourth episode of "All the Way West". According to the program plan, this episode should be the content of their fishing in Barcelona.

He didn't watch the last issue. He was focused on practicing the piano a while ago and didn't know how to comment on the Internet. Suddenly, he was a little curious, so he turned on the TV, sat on the sofa and waited for the show to start, swiping Weibo with a trumpet, and posted the photo of curry beef. out.

His trumpet is like a zombie account, with a string of random numbers and no avatar. He seldom posts it, but occasionally uses it to read news. Accidentally like something that shouldn't be liked, it may cause trouble.

Searching for the words "all the way to the west, Xia Xiai", almost all the content that came out was from fans. Fortunately, fans took screenshots of some passers-by's comments on the third issue to show his ability to promote his fans:

[Xia Xiai looks so salty and is actually a warm family man who can cook! Suddenly he felt so good! ]

[Xia Xiai's life experience is so pitiful, I, a passer-by like me, are so distressed, you will be my good boy from now on, woo woo mother loves you! ]

[No wonder he didn't have a vcr sent by his parents when he participated in the draft finals... It was half a wall back then. After watching the show today, I officially became a fan. Who doesn't want such a good-looking and well-behaved son. ]

The focus of passersby was basically on the fact that he mentioned that he had no parents at the dinner table in the last issue. Fans saw this and could become fans. They also played a wave of sympathy cards and attracted a lot of new fans.

But he doesn't really want to gain attention in this way.

There are too many people in the world without fathers and mothers. People who are poorer than him may still be in embarrassment to this day. In contrast, he is already so lucky, not only has food, housing, and work, but also earns ordinary money. People may not earn money in a lifetime, what qualifications are there to sell miserable sympathy?

But the fans are kind after all, he can't say anything to stop them, he can only let them go.

Xia Xiai deleted the words in the search box, thought about it, and entered "Jiang Liushen".

I don't know if the film festival is going well or not.

The content that jumped out was varied, a large part of which were high-definition pictures taken by the media at the film festival. Even without repairs, Jiang Liushen's appearance and figure are still impeccable. In the latest set of red carpet pictures, he is dressed in all black, but it does not look dull and boring. The different fabrics of the satin shirt and suit jacket are flashing in the flash. Different degrees of light were reflected from below, making him look noble, elegant and full of tension, like a black panther pacing in the dark.

This face... is indeed handsome enough to be an idol. But Jiang Liushen's temperament is not suitable. Compared with the popular idol who sings and dances on the stage, he is more like a king who sits on a throne and enjoys the worship of all.

Since it is a film festival, there is naturally also movie-related content. Xia Xiai then scrolled down and saw a well-known movie blogger posted a Weibo:

[Jiang Liushen attended the film festival for the first time after his return! It is very likely that the next new film will be determined during this period! I don't know which director Shen will take over the olive branch thrown by him? It's a pity that the last film "Flying" missed the best actor at the Academy Awards. Do you think Brother Shen's new film can bring him back to the top? ]

The comments below are both praised and black:

[My brother Shen has been thanking him at the peak, not eating cakes, and waiting for the official announcement. ]

[Jiang Liushen performed so brilliantly, showing the mentality of depression incisively and vividly, but he didn't win an award. I don't believe it if there is no shady scene. ]

[Is Zheng Wenbin also acting well? The best actor is well deserved, why is it a shady story for Jiang Liushen to not win the award? ]

[I'm curious about what Jiang Liushen's next movie is. After taking such a long time out of the movie, it is estimated that his acting skills have regressed? ]

[My brother Shen, who has been out of film for ten years, will come back to act and beat all actors of the same age, so don't worry about it. ]

[I heard that Jiang Liushen went to the film festival and walked the red carpet with He An this time? Are they going to work together again? ]

[What is another? Have they worked together before? ]

[Yes, Jiang Liushen's first film was directed by He, called "Country Road", but it was a supporting role, and he didn't have many scenes. At that time, his acting skills were average. It is estimated that not many people have seen it. ]

[Isn't He An a judge of the Golden Film Awards? Does Jiang Liushen want to go through the back door to win back a city for himself? ]

When Xia Xiai saw this comment, she was immediately annoyed, and quickly typed back: [Jiang Liushen, he has the strength, don't need to use this method, don't treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ]

After pressing send, he realized what he had done, and was instantly embarrassed. Why was he so angry? In fact, he hasn't seen much of Jiang Liushen's movies, and his confidence seems to be a little lacking...

In order to make herself more confident, Xia Xiai decided to make up for the two movies mentioned in the comments.

"Flying" is quite easy to find. After all, it was a popular candidate for the Golden Film Awards the previous year. A certain video website bought out the copyright of the online broadcast, and you can watch it for a fee. He glanced at the introduction, and it was about a depressed patient. The tragic story of fighting with a demon and finally jumping off a building and committing suicide. Jiang Liushen on the poster is much thinner and gaunt than he is now. Obviously, he has deliberately lost weight. His dark eyes reveal deep sorrow and helplessness, as if there is endless sadness in his heart. Just a static poster can put people in the role at a glance.

How could such a strong acting skill lose to Zheng Yunbin? Although Zheng Yunbin is also a very good actor, in terms of popularity and acting skills, no matter who you ask passers-by will say that Jiang Liushen is better. He is the leader among young actors. This is an undoubted fact.

Xia Xiai closed the page after collecting the movie, and then searched for "Country Road". This movie is too old. It was made by Jiang Liushen when he first entered the industry 14 years ago. There are almost no resources on the Internet, only some sporadic clips, and the picture quality is rough and fuzzy. Xia Xiai clicked on a video and watched it for two minutes, and happened to see Jiang There are very few scenes in the stream.

The 12-year-old Jiang Liushen's acting skills are still very young, and he can't hide the nobleness of the rich children who are flamboyant, but he has to play a rural child. No matter how awkward, even Xia Xiai was amused, where can rural children know? Walking around looking at the mud under his feet like he did, he would run around with bare feet, and he would not walk around with his trouser legs in his hands, as if he was afraid of getting his clothes dirty.

The rural environment in the movie is very similar to that of her hometown. Xia Xiai looked at the familiar countryside with low resolution and couldn't help but immerse herself in her memories.

Speaking of which, when he was in his hometown before, he seemed to have met some people who came to film and shoot movies, but he was too young at that time, only six or seven years old, and he had almost forgotten about it. He only remembered a large group of people in Wuyangyang. Playing with equipment he had never seen before, the children of all sizes in the village gathered around and looked around curiously. Some of the more aggressive staff will scold and drive people, but there are also friendly ones.

Xia Xiai vaguely remembered that there was a big brother who was a few years older in the crew who treated him very well.

There was a time when my eldest brother had a sudden stomach ache. In order not to delay the progress, he kept silent. He saw it and helped him massage for a while. He made a cup of wormwood tea to ward off the cold, and it was really cured. In order to thank him, the elder brother gave him a box of milk tea that he said was brought back from the United Kingdom. There were about ten long small packages in the box, which was also a rarity in the city at that time, let alone the countryside.

At that time, Xia Xiai didn't even know where England was, but only knew that the milk tea was very sweet and delicious, completely different from the wormwood tea he had grown up drinking. It’s a pity that the number of milk tea is limited. After the big brother left, he was so greedy that he drank it in half a month. He even tore the packaging bag and licked it clean. Every day, he ran to the entrance of the village, looking forward to when the big brother would come back to deliver it. He has a box.

However, in the next four or five years, he never tasted that sweet taste again.

It was not until his relatives took him to the city that he secretly ran out to buy the long-awaited milk tea with a dozen pocket money that he had saved for a long time. It was delicious, but he was already satisfied.

No matter if he ran away from home recklessly and impulsive later, or later lived on the streets with no money, as long as he had extra money, he would always buy a drink.

Life has been so hard, and you always have to give yourself some sweetness to continue living.

The video is only four or five minutes in total, and it ends quickly. Xia Xiai couldn't find the complete video, so she had to give up making up this video for the time being. It was almost eight o'clock, and she was about to close her heart to watch the show when suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang.

The caller was actually You Qing.

Xia Xiai frowned, but took it anyway, and said coldly, "Hey, what's the matter."

The last time the two of them parted ways unhappily, You Qing's tone at this time was also blunt: "Then what, Long Jie seems to be drunk at the Boguang Club, and no one picks up, you go pick her up."

"Why don't you go by yourself? Long Jie...she shouldn't want to see me."

"She doesn't want to see you, does she still want to see me? She didn't even tell me about her departure, she told you." You Qing said angrily, "She took me five years and couldn't trust me, you are a newcomer. , why..."

"She knows that you will definitely go with President Zhao, don't you?"

"Why not? I'm very grateful to Long Jie, but I'm not still on the rise like you, so I don't have to worry about running out of resources to change to a new company. I can't take this risk. Besides, don't you abandon her? What's the matter? Qualified to speak to me?"

Xia Xi'ai was at a loss for words: "Okay, I'm right, so do you want to go with me to apologize to Long Jie?"

You Qing hesitated for a while: "No, I have an audition to prepare, and I... don't dare to see her yet."

"Me too." Xia Xi'ai and You Qing rarely have a common language, "But sooner or later, you have to face it, so go ahead. Is it the Boguang Club? I'll check the address, which private room is it?"

"302."

Xia Xiai wrote it down, and suddenly became a little confused: "How did you know she was there? I've lost contact with her for a long time."

"President Zhao said, Long Jie's friends don't know that the two of them broke up. Seeing that Long Jie was drunk and no one sent them back, they called Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao said that he was inconvenient to go, you and Long Jie. Good relationship, let you pick it up."

"Okay, I know, let's go."

Xia Xiai hung up the phone and was about to turn off the TV when the show just started.

At the beginning is the summary of this issue. In the picture, there is a scene of Jiang Liushen chasing him on a fishing boat with a 30 to 40-pound tuna on that day. The two people fight like three-year-old children, so naive they can't see it. , but against the backdrop of the vast sea and blue sky, it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Xia Xiai chuckled to herself.

In fact, it is quite interesting to be with Jiang Liushen. If we all live such a life in the future, would also have some aspirations.

After being bitter for so long, life seems to have finally begun to taste a little sweet.
