Colton’s voice was trembling, the kind of ecstasy:

"I watched your movie! "Day Rain"! Just this morning... Oh no, it was last night! No, no, it was at midnight! Uh-huh, that's it, you acted really well

Awesome!"

Qin Jue blinked in surprise and emotion. "Don't worry, speak slowly, I'm listening." She said warmly with a grateful smile, "I'm listening, Colton."

Colton seemed to be about to cry, and he said "uh huh" incoherently:

"I am, I want to say thank you! Zayde, the movie you acted in helped me a lot! Uh, I... I was taken to watch your movie by my friend, oh, yes! This is me

Friends! This is Damon, this is Jasper, that is Roberto, Shane and David, Marvin is not here today..."

Colton's friends all laughed. "Speak to the point, brother!" the boy named "Damon" reminded with a smile.

"Oh! That's it!" Colton quickly came to his senses, licked his lips that were a little dehydrated due to nervousness, and said, "Well, Zayde, thank you for starring in "Daytime Rain"... Before this, I

I don’t really know how to make friends. I mean, although Damon and the others were my friends, they weren’t the kind of ‘common friends’ at that time...well, I mean...yes..."

He was suddenly at a loss for words, and his words stopped for two seconds.

"Hmm. What do you mean?" Qin Jue looked at him gently.

Colton showed an expression on the verge of tears again:

"That's so kind of you - I, well, I want to thank you, because after we watched your movie together, Damon, Jasper and Roberto all apologized to me, uh, actually I

I don't really mind what they did to me before - I mean, none of us were very good at getting along with friends before! It's because I'm not good at expressing my feelings, so I didn't know how to say no when I should say no before.

No'——"

"Stop!" Jasper said.

"That's our problem!" Roberto continued.

"——You are taking responsibility again!" Damon added.

The trio's rebuttal made Colton burst into laughter. He faced Qin Jue's smiling face, his shyness mixed with pure joy that he wanted to convey and share:

"Anyway, we are very, very good friends now. We even played football together before coming here today! Ah, also, when I said I wanted to thank you in person, everyone also helped me and made me successful.

Saw you here!—even talked to you!”

Colton finished these sentences in one breath, and his nervousness eased a lot. He gasped twice and smiled broadly under Qin Jue's kind and encouraging eyes:

"Thank you! Zayde! To be honest, before I met you, I was worried that you would be a bit gloomy like Mawson... a bit scary? I'm sorry, what am I talking about, you are an amazing actor! I just,

It’s just because your acting skills are so great that I can’t help but think of you and Mohsen as the same person - I didn’t mean to offend you!”

"Anyway, I am so, so happy to see you so... healthy, cheerful, handsome, and so kind! I am really, really happy - you are such an amazing actor! I have become a big fan of yours

!I will support your works in the future!”

Colton's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest several times.

God, is this real? Zayde is so gentle and patient. He is so kind——

The surroundings are noisy, but the strange tranquility is like the curled leaves blooming quietly, sprouting in the heart, shaking out a small flower as big as a fingernail, with light and soft color. Qin Jue blinked, took half a step forward, and stood across the door.

Cordon reached out and reached for Colton's back.

This is a courtesy hug. It's sudden and friendly.

Colton's pupils shook, and for a few seconds he felt that time suddenly slowed down, as if a river was flowing gently around him and Qin Jue, who was half-hugging him.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to hear what you said." Qin Jue patted Colton on the back, then let him go, "Congratulations on having a good friend, and congratulations on them having you."

Colton was stunned. He clearly felt the weight of these words - even though they sounded very similar to those common scene words, when he was face to face with Qin Jue, he more intuitively touched the meaning of these words than anyone else.

Full of sincerity.

"Sign!" Damon reminded again, "and your letter!"

"...Oh! Sorry, I was so excited that I forgot!"

Colton came to his senses in a panic, hurriedly touched his pocket, and took out an envelope with a slightly wrinkled corner.

"Well, here are some things I want to say to you. Although it may be similar to what I just said - I didn't expect to be able to talk to you for so long - if you don't mind..." Colton shook his head in embarrassment.

Smoothed away the wrinkles at the corners.

"Of course I don't mind." Qin Jue thanked him with a smile and took his handwritten letter solemnly, "It's my pleasure."

She opened her long suit jacket a little, put the envelope into the inner pocket, then thought for a second, removed the pocket watch chain from her waist, took off the ring on her left hand, let the small ring pass through the bronze chain, and then stretched out her hand

Under Colton's disbelieving gaze, he put them around his neck.

"This is a return gift, my dear. I hope you can work hard. I hope you are healthy both physically and mentally and have a clear conscience." Qin Jue said.

Then he smiled and asked: "Do you still need a signature?"

Colton was in a daze until he successfully took out his notebook and pen. He got an expectation and a blessing at the same time. They were so sincere and simple that when Damon and Jasper were helping to answer Qin

When he asked the ultimate question, he realized that he had shed tears unconsciously.

"...the last letter is n? OK."

Qin Jue listened to Colton's friends spelling out his full name letter by letter without showing any signs of impatience. The gentle smile at the corner of her mouth made the boys involuntarily quiet down.

Everyone inexplicably feels that they are being watched by the kind eyes of their elders.

The person in front of me has a pair of eyes full of relief. They are dark brown, the same as, but different from, Mawson on the big screen.

"Okay."

Qin Jue handed back the pen and paper and made sure that although Colton's hands were shaking, he was holding them firmly before letting go.

She faced them and took two steps back. Before turning around, she reached out again through her long suit jacket and patted the place below her heart. There was Colton's letter there, like a warm medal.

Qin Jue smiled and waved to Colton and others.

"Come on, too!" Jasper next to Colton responded on his behalf, "Zayde, you are truly the most kind and friendly actor I have ever seen!"

"I wish you the prize!" Roberto also shouted.

"I hope everything goes well for you!" Damon put his hands to his mouth, "May you succeed!"

At that time, Qin Jue had already walked two meters away. She was still leaning sideways, leaving half of her face and eyes for them. She waved her hands and walked forward amidst the warm and sincere blessings.
