The camera passes over the imperial capital in the early morning
The world is full of fireworks
——
The biggest difference between the situation in 1992 and now is that there were very few private cars on the streets and alleys, but teams of retro-looking 28-style bicycles shuttled endlessly.
"Send an invitation to send yourself to your fiancé's brother's bed..."
When he walked all the way to Xizhimen Inner Street to stop the car, Yu Ge whispered to himself: "In addition, I stayed out all night. If my father finds out, he will probably send me to the pig cage with his own hands, right?"
After entering the company, Yu Ge buried her complex emotions deeply under her cold appearance, and returned to her appearance as the devilish woman who speaks her mind in front of her subordinates.
It's just that this morning she still hasn't seen a copy of the promotional copy for Coca-Cola can packaging.
Sitting at her desk, Yu Ge stared at the two newly packaged cans of Coca-Cola in a daze. Her clueless work progress, messy love life, guilt, and guilt made her feel increasingly anxious and intolerable.
Sweeping the two cans of Coke into the neverfull handbag, Yu Ge said hello to her colleagues and hurried out of the company carrying her commuting bag.
Stopping a taxi downstairs in Fenglian Plaza Building, Yu Ge got into the back seat and said concisely: "Master, Nantang."
——
Soon, everything will be shot
The taxi stopped steadily at No. 141, Qianmen West Street, Imperial Capital
Xuanwumen Catholic Church
——
Familiar with the road, Yu Ge lowered his head and walked quickly into the confession room on the side of the church.
Wetting her fingers in holy water, she devoutly made the sign of the cross in front of her body. Yuge bowed her head to the priest she was familiar with and said, "Please bless me, priest. I, a sinner, am willing to repent in the church."
The door of the confessional was gently opened, and the priest's voice carried an echo that was neither light nor serious: "May the Holy Spirit illuminate your heart so that you can sincerely confess your sins and accept the grace of the merciful Heavenly Father."
Yu Ge confessed: "Please forgive me, Lord, I haven't come to confess for two months."
"child…"
The kind voice of the confessor: "What do you want to confess?"
"I abused the name of my Heavenly Father and made two mistakes..."
Her voice was timid, and Yu Ge's eyes were full of shame. She continued to confess: "I had an affair with my fiancé's brother once, and I fired three subordinates once, but...their work attitude is indeed extremely incompetent."
"You're just following the rules..."
The priest said tolerantly: "Then this case doesn't count."
In the close-up of the camera, the priest's hand holding the cross suddenly paused, and he asked: "Wait a minute, the first thing you said was..."
Yu Ge bit her lip and frowned. She closed her eyes tightly and repeated her confession: "I had an affair with my fiancé's brother..."
"This is a serious crime!"
The priest's voice was extremely serious: "You should reflect on it."
"I know…"
With tears in her eyes, Yu Ge whispered softly, her attitude was extremely sincere: "I understand."
"You will be punished by copying the Rosary twice!"
After that, the priest quietly closed the confession window.
…
After completing the punishment mission in the church, Yu Ge seemed to feel less guilty.
After returning home and putting away his things, Yu Ge continued to stare at the two cans of Coke he took out of his bag in a daze. His expression didn't look like he was thinking about a plan, but rather he was wandering.
Lan Juan went home after grocery shopping and found Yu Ge sitting blankly. She leaned closer and asked softly: "Where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night, and you didn't change your clothes."
Yu Ge resisted and replied: "I don't want to say it."
"Just like your dad..."
Lan Juan complained lightly and patted her daughter's shoulder gently: "I lied to him and made him think you came back last night."
"Thank you mom..."
Yu Ge hugged Lan Juan warmly. She sensitively sensed that her mother's mood was not right: "What's wrong with you?"
Lan Juan hesitated and said: "Your dad... cheated..."
"impossible!"
Based on his inherent impression of his father, Yu Ge’s first reaction was disbelief: “Where did you hear that?”
Lan Juan smiled sadly: "Just think of it as a woman's intuition."
Yu Ge hugged Lan Juan tightly again, but she still didn't believe it: "Then you must be overthinking. How can such a rigid Taoist gentleman like him be possible?"
"Both of you have the same moral character. You go out early and come home late every day. You don't love home..."
Lan Juan murmured: "Your dad's business has changed a lot over the years... You and your daughter have little communication."
Glancing at the newly purchased gramophone in the living room, Lan Juan complained: "He has started listening to the Second and Third Symphonies recently..."
"Isn't it good..."
This topic made Yu Ge feel confused, and she lowered her head unconsciously: "It's just a good time to use classical music to educate his Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism."
As she stood up to pack the food basket, Lan Juan mentioned casually: "The old man is going out to visit, and we are the only ones having dinner at home tonight."
"I'm not coming back for dinner tonight either."
After bowing her head and thinking for a long time, Yu Ge changed into her dinner bag and planned to go out again. Before leaving, she kissed Lan Juan and said, "Mom, don't think too much. A very authentic French restaurant has opened on Chongwenmenwai Street. I suggest you just go ahead."
Stop cooking tonight and go change your taste."
…
Li Hanyuan lamented: "So this is how Lanjuan discovered her husband's cheating."
"Wow, this bridge section is designed..."
Xu Mo'er praised: "It's so clever, it just reminds Yu Ge of tonight's date."
Zhou Peipei, who has successfully learned a lot: "Details are hidden in the devil..."
"I discovered that the cheating was definitely more than that. Lanjuan's speaking style is more reserved..."
Zhang Yameng's eyes wandered: "The main reason is that Yu Qikuo has changed his attitude towards her. Women are very sensitive."
"This Yu Qikuo's setting is very interesting..."
Shao Qing, who is extremely talented in acting, grasped the key point. She analyzed the character's personality: "In front of lovers and business partners, he looks open and Westernized, and in front of his family, he still maintains his image of a sanctimonious Taoist gentleman..."
Weng Huaijing affirmed: "Well, it's a common image of two-faced people in classical dramas."
Shao Qing secretly added: "If this kind of person is good at acting, you won't be able to believe his words, every move, and even his expression..."
"The setting of Yu Qikuo's double-faced character was also a joke on my part... Shao Qing also specifically mentioned his acting skills. Isn't it really about me?"
Yan Qing felt that he was offended again, so he pointed at the TV screen and skillfully performed the magical power of diverting attention.
"Look, girls' favorite Cinderella plot is here."
…
"Then let's leave a beautiful memory for each other."
Yu Ge, walking in Yansha Friendship Department Store, said to herself, for which she dedicated many firsts in her life:
I tried wearing contact lenses for the first time in my life.
She walked into a beauty salon anxiously, straightened her naturally curly hair, and then tied it up high.
Ms. Yu even tried manicure, eyebrow shaping, and facial care for the first time. Finally, she was encouraged by the makeup artist to put on a beautiful evening makeup.
Comparing it with the "Vogue Clothing and Beauty" magazine in his hand, Yu Ge finally spent a lot of money to get the most popular Lu brand evening dress and high heels of the season.
"咻咻～"
This was also the first time that thirty-five-year-old Yu Ge was walking in the Yansha business district where she grew up, and a player looked at her figure from a distance and whistled.
The metaphor of Cinderella is that with a lot of money, she transforms into a princess wearing glass slippers.
…
As the lanterns begin to light up, the fountain square in front of the National Center for the Performing Arts is bustling with people.
Wearing a formal tuxedo and tidy, Lu Yue was waiting for someone, his eyes clear and bright, until he saw Yu Ge from a distance.
The camera first gave Lu Yue a close-up, his deep eyes bursting with dazzling splendor, conveying the surprise to the audience outside the frame in a subtle way.
There is no need to search hundreds of times for her, Yu Ge is like a dazzling diamond, you can see her at a glance among thousands of people.
Lu Yue leaned over naturally without any conscious drive.
The close-up of the camera turns to Yu Ge, from below to above, showing perfect body proportions, fair skin, deep and charming collarbones, a slender neck like a swan, a handsome face, elegant temples, and a pair of affectionate bright red peach blossom eyes.
"You're here."
"Um."
A restrained verbal exchange, mixed with wanton eye contact.
"Come in."
Yu Ge generously handed his hand to Lu Yue.
This couple, who are not lovers but are better than lovers, walked into the National Center for the Performing Arts hand in hand in such an open and frank manner.
…
Neither her husband nor her daughter came home for dinner. Thinking of Yu Ge's words before leaving, Lan Juan, who was extremely still and restless, went to the Maxim Restaurant on Chongwenmenwai Street to dine alone.
The professor sitting at the table next to her happened to be the same professor, but the girl in front of the man was replaced by Miao Miao.
Young girls all have one thing in common, they don't like to be lectured. Miao Miao poured a glass of red wine on the professor's face and turned around to leave while Lan Juan looked on coldly.
The professor still responded to the embarrassing situation in the same way, calling the waiter to remove Miao Miao's plate, and ordered a large glass of foreign wine and drank it in one gulp.
Maybe it was the professor's generosity that made Lan Juan amused, or maybe she was feeling depressed and didn't know who to talk to, so she generously invited this stranger to dine at the same table.
Starting with the topic "Why men are so keen on chasing women", the two had a very pleasant exchange.
I have never come across such an intellectual and elegant middle-aged woman as Lan Juan. The professor reluctantly walked her to the door after coming out of the restaurant.
The clear rays of the full moon shone on the two people looking at each other on the steps, making their silhouettes extraordinarily slender, and the atmosphere was somewhat charming.
The professor jokingly invited her to his home, and the elegant man encouraged Lanjuan to try something new.
From her eyes, it can be seen that Lanjuan has a lot of emotions in her heart, but her reason makes her still have a deep sense of responsibility for this seemingly beautiful but not harmonious family.
Under the intoxicating moonlight, Lan Juan finally chose to be loyal to her family and declined the professor's invitation.
…
With nothing on the TV screen, Lu Yue and Yu Ge were quietly listening to "He Zhizhen's Second Violin Sonata" in the auditorium.
The song takes the Huangpu River, moonlight, lovers, and thoughts as its themes and is divided into four chapters.
At this time, the performance has advanced to the second movement (Moonlight), a very emotional Adagio in B flat major, the theme and variations form a free variation.
The warm and lyrical movement, the violin melody is as soft as moonlight, tightly wrapping the listener's ears, as if singing or telling.
There is hope and sadness, which seems to imply a kind of warmth and melancholy, just like the way Lu Yue glances at Yu Ge from time to time.
…
The third movement (Lovers) has an infectious Adagio in G-flat major. The piano slowly plays a beautiful and lyrical theme melody, and then the violin repeats this theme.
The clear violin and the melodious piano come together and leave, interspersed with each other, like a pair of lovers whispering sweetly, interweaving a movement that makes people think about beautiful love.
Little by little, the river of love in Yu Ge's heart was moistened.
In the close-up shot, the two of them were intertwined with each other unknowingly.
…
The beautiful time is always so short. As the concert came to an end and everyone was about to leave, Yu Ge gently broke away from the warmer palm of her hand. She held up the skirt of her evening dress and slowly walked down the steps with the surging crowd after the concert.
"Cinderella has to go home before twelve o'clock, and I want to marry your brother on the 30th of this month."
She couldn't look into the man's talking eyes, and Yu Ge suddenly stood still and spoke softly and firmly.
I don't know whether she was trying to convince herself, or warning Lu Yue who was following behind and was about to make a move.
The two of them just faced each other in a unique way.
The crowds of people around were still moving slowly, and the scene seemed to be frozen.
"The violin sonatas written by Mr. He Zhizhen are truly extraordinary..."
A male voice sounded very familiar to Yu Ge from the crowd.
The voice continued to talk: "It does not just blindly choose to use the violin as the main part and the piano as the supplement to build the structure of the movement, or the piano only plays the role of accompaniment..."
A sweet and artificial flattery greeted me: "My dear, you know a lot."
In the face of the woman's flattery, the male voice seemed reserved and steady: "The two instruments can be said to be equally matched, and it is this kind of harmony that makes the style of the whole song rise to a higher level."
The camera turned following Yu Ge's surprised eyes:
A charming middle-aged woman was wearing the same Lu brand evening dress as hers, and her whole body seemed to be glued to the body of Yu Ge's father, Yu Qikuo.
As they walked down the steps, they looked at each other lovingly and sweetly.
The charming woman coquettishly crawled into Yu Qikuo's arms: "I am so happy. You are willing to study these highbrow things just to please me..."
"These things are not too difficult, and are far inferior to the sacred teachings that Russian customers are interested in..."
Yu Qikuo maintained a reserved posture while observing his surroundings.
The eyes of father and daughter met at this moment, and Yu Qikuo's voice condensed.
…
The TV in the living room of Xiangshan Du8 Building is full of bullet screens that are refreshing rapidly:
…(Hahahahahahahahaha~burp(
…(Large-scale derailment scene(
…(This is the funniest part of the whole film(
…(Weng Niang’s godson is too weak(
...(What kind of "Moonlight Sultry" is this? (
…(Father and daughter express their heartfelt feelings to each other(
…(So you are here too(
…(Don’t forget that Chanjuan almost cheated on her as well(
…(It’s Lanjuan! She’s so temperamental, I love her()
…(It is recommended to change the name to "Let's Have an Affair Together" (
Looking at the awkward expressions of the father and daughter on the TV, Zhang Yameng just pressed pause at the instigation of the girls and temporarily opened the barrage.
The living room of Shao Qing's house also had a cheerful atmosphere.
"This is a dramatic conflict."
Yan Qing responded with a shrug.
"Life is often more outrageous than drama."
Weng Huaijing said something silently, and Yan Qing felt strange in her heart as she didn't know who she was talking to.
