Chapter 279: She guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the ending
The cold milk tea lost the warm and sweet taste, and even had a faint bitter taste of tea. Tears overflowed on Lu Jiujiu's face. She was like a puppet whose soul had been taken out. She was stunned in place, except for crying in pain.
He couldn't do anything, not even holding Ning Yuan's hand tightly at the beginning to prevent him from leaving.
That boy taught me a lot, and now he finally taught me how to face a life without him.
She remembered a lot in a daze, her mood when she first met him, the hottest summer in her memory, the endless chirping of cicadas and the white clouds when the breeze blew by.
The blue sky was as clean as a painting. She gently used her pen to frame the scene. In the blink of an eye, she found that the young man sleeping next to her suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her.
At that time, she didn't understand what heartbeat was, but she did feel a panic. But such a memory could not be maintained for a long time. Over the years, Lu Jiujiu had forgotten Ning Yuan's expression at that time, and had forgotten that time.
Their conversation, I only vaguely remember the feeling of panic.
If new memories cannot be created, those old memories will one day be buried in the past and covered with dust.
She thought desperately, desperately trying to find other heartbeats that she and Ning Yuan had experienced - she thought of the rose that Ning Yuan handed her when she went to the closing banquet of "The Tuner", and of the press conference.
Her heart was pounding, and she also recalled the words Ning Yuan said to her that night that had troubled her for a long time:
"A naive guy like you might not even be able to tell what is a habit and what is love...don't you think so?"
No one told her what to do if the person she liked fell in love with someone else. Growing up, she was used to accepting the arrangements and protection from her grandmother and family members. Later, when Ning Yuan joined in, she was like a spoiled child raised in a greenhouse.
Weak rose, one day the hands on her head left her and went to take care of another rose.
A stupid person like me can't tell the difference between habits and likes...Ning Yuan is so smart, he must be able to tell the difference.
He takes care of me like this...is it just a habit?
Lu Jiujiu closed her eyes gently, her whole body trembling slightly as if she was going to fall down next moment. After a while, she opened her eyes again, as if she had shed tears, and the lively look in her eyes disappeared completely.
"I'm so tired, let's go home." She said to herself in her heart.
So she called a car and left the campus gate just before bedtime. The car's taillights flashed and then gradually merged into a field of light and disappeared.
It was only then that Ning Yuan dared to slowly walk out of the shadows not far away. He looked at the speeding car, and his eyes dimmed little by little.
Lu Jiujiu finally left.
What happened tonight was accidental, but it seemed inevitable. The girl in front of him who existed in almost every corner of his youth, he finally waved and formally said goodbye to her.
The strategy of boiling frogs in warm water that he had implemented came to naught the moment the girl showed a helpless expression. He knew clearly that there were other people around her to protect her, and he knew that his current situation was no longer suitable for appearing in front of Lu Jiujiu, but he
Still, he stopped at that corner and told Jiang Manyue a lie that tested his IQ.
Of course, maybe for Jiang Manyue, that shouldn't be called a lie at all, it's just another way of communication between two people.
He originally thought that after Gu Guanxue's emotional failure, he had completely matured and had made up his mind to be with Jiang Manyue. Only today did he realize that he regretted the scene when he faced Lu Jiujiu.
Always escaping.
He escaped for a long time, far longer than Gu Guanxue's escape. For such a long time, he seemed to have successfully deceived himself, making himself feel that he was only regretful that he could not stay with Lu Jiujiu because of his love. Gradually,
It has accumulated into a kind of love for my sister.
But he seems to have never come out.
Without the courage to face the facts, he naturally couldn't deal with his feelings. He still felt heartbroken when he saw her being bullied. He couldn't see her lost, and he couldn't let her be abandoned alone, so he stepped forward.
One step forward.
Because I know I will never go back and see it again, I feel nostalgic.
From the girl's stunned expression when she saw him and the hope in her eyes, it is easy to see that Lu Jiujiu thought she had waited for a miracle - Ning Yuan had never left, and he would still stand up when he was at a loss.
Cover the harm for her and hold her little hand all the way forward.
It's just that she guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
"I used to like you too." Ning Yuan said softly: "It just takes a lot of courage to keep disguising your love as a habit."
He turned around slowly, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again. All that was left was a vague sigh, but it quickly dissipated in the extremely silent night.
No matter how hard you can't let go, you still have to slowly learn to let go, whether it's Lu Jiujiu or him.
Ning Yuan slowly walked towards the place agreed with Jiang Manyue, walking very slowly step by step. Their school's bedtime is later than that of Lu Jiujiu's school. Even at this time, there are still people walking around the campus.
There were couples enjoying their leisurely walks at night, and postgraduate candidates returning from the library holding books. They hurried past Ning Yuan without even looking at him.
He came to the intersection of the girls' dormitory and stopped to look around. Jiang Manyue was standing alone somewhere with a calm expression. People around her couldn't help but look at her a few more times. They seemed to be very curious about the fact that Miss Hua was standing here.
do what.
Fortunately, they quickly got the answer they wanted. They met each other's eyes from a distance. Jiang Manyue's eyebrows, which were originally as beautiful as a still life painting, finally had some vivid colors. Ning Yuan paused.
After a moment, he started walking towards the person in the painting. He walked to Jiang Xihua and stopped gently.
"Full moon..."
Before she could say anything more, the girl in the painting asked slowly:
"Mobile phone, found it?"
Ning Yuan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then replied with a chuckle: "I think I found it."
Her tone was calm and calm, as if her motive for waiting here for so long was just to ask him a question and then leave after getting the answer. Ning Yuan smiled weakly after hearing this. He actually wanted to talk to Man Yue.
The young lady stayed for a while, but at this moment, his state was actually not much better than that of Lu Jiujiu. In order to prevent the girl from further noticing the hidden emotions in his heart, he had no choice but to nod lightly.
"Um."
He wanted to say good night before leaving, but when the words came to his lips, he unconsciously shook his head:
"I'm sorry about what happened tonight."
"I know, I want to eat fried pancakes from the cafeteria tomorrow morning." Jiang Manyue said calmly, "You should still remember my taste."
Ning Yuan: "..."
"Is there a problem?" Jiang Xihua raised her eyebrows slightly.
He was silent for a moment, then laughed softly.
"Okay." Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Would you like to bring some of your roommates with me?"
"Of course they have their own people to help guide them."
"Understood." Ning Yuan chuckled and waved his hand. This time he said good night as he wished, and his originally extremely depressed mood seemed to have found a point of release.
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
He will continue to be depressed for a while, but fortunately it should only be for a while.
…
After making it clear to Lu Jiujiu, Ning Yuan gradually realized the changes in his life - he no longer had to avoid the girl who looked a bit naive. She did not appear in front of Ning Yuan again. That night she
After getting in the car and going home, she didn't even go to school.
Several of Lu Jiujiu's roommates even sent messages to ask what happened to Ning Yuan. That night, they received the news that Lu Jiujiu would not come back to stay. They thought that the two of them could not be more stable. Who had ever
I think what came next was the news that Lu Jiujiu was asking for leave.
She hasn't come to school for a week.
Ning Yuan had no way to tell them, and the last thing he could say was a slightly pale reply:
【I don't know either.】
He should have thought long ago that Lu Jiujiu was totally incapable of handling such a complicated emotional change. She had been extremely nostalgic since she was a child. A pet that had been raised for several months fell ill and died, which even made teenagers sad.
Lu Jiujiu cried so much that she couldn't take care of herself, and she was depressed for several weeks. If Ning Yuan wasn't there to cheer her up, I'm afraid her depression cycle would be measured in months.
So, did the farewell that day become a farewell forever?
Even though he had already made such preparations in his heart, Ning Yuan, who knew the news, couldn't help but grab a few dozen beers from the supermarket and pretended to celebrate the movie's release in the dormitory with the brothers Xiao Hei, Lao Wu and Houhou.
After a long drink, after several people drank so much that they couldn't speak clearly, he silently leaned against the balcony window with a can of beer and remained silent for a long time.
The phone screen turned on and off, off and on again, but the number could not be dialed after all.
He didn't know what would happen to Lu Jiujiu after she returned home, but if she had the comfort and protection of her family, it would probably be a way to recover faster.
November is coming to an end soon.
Frustrated in love, proud in the workplace. Although Lu Jiujiu's side is not completely considered Ning Yuan's love, God seems to have added a thick layer of success buff to him based on this theory. Once "Charlotte Trouble" was released,
The effect was overwhelming, with film schedules and attendance rates continuing to rise. Upon seeing this, the film company did not skimp on its own publicity. The original publicity plan was a dark horse strategy, but now it has truly become a dark horse. How could you not make money if you have money?
Thanks to the fermentation of word-of-mouth and the intensity of publicity, "Charlotte" was a dark horse that took off again and again, directly breaking through the box office peak of the movie released that month and quickly surpassing the box office of several small and big-budget movies.
In a certain scene, the protagonist Charlotte shouted: I am going to be popular. Those words seemed to be some kind of wonderful prophecy. For a time, the movie became very popular, and various movie invitations and variety show invitations rained down on the movie.
A leading actor smashed them over; when attending an event, a certain movie star who had seen them dismissive before actually stopped and waited for them, saying hello with a smile.
This is very realistic, but it is also a reflection of the fact that they became popular.
As a director, Ning Yuan should be behind the scenes. Most of the time, the most popular movies are due to the popular actors. Only a few scripts have exquisite ideas that make the director more popular than the actors. Charlotte Annoyance is naturally not that good, but
Thanks to Master Ning's status as the former Dragon King, many variety show producers sensed the traffic and also extended invitations to him.
Shockingly, the former Dragon King has become the director of the highest-grossing movie in recent months! He is playing a big game!
Master Ning declined all such invitations to create buzz. However, even so, the movie is still a huge hit and even has the potential to exceed 100 million at the box office.
A new director with a box office of tens of millions and a new director with a box office of hundreds of millions cannot be measured by the same standards at all. If this popularity trend continues, many industry personnel predict that this movie is likely to break the box office record of comedy movies in recent years.
However, I don’t know if there is such a metaphysical theory as plundering luck. Several popular movies released during the same period all failed invariably. Investors were pounced on, and the public opinion on the Internet was also vaguely negative.
The meaning of awakening. This made several investors panic. They spent a lot of money to ask the navy to give them good reviews. It is bound to make the era of small fresh meat continue to be glorious.
If you praise your own company, you will inevitably put others down. So overnight, all kinds of trolls began to smear various bugs and unreasonable plots in the movie "Charlotte Trouble", and they were quite convincing.
, passers-by and fans who had watched the movie couldn't help but reply a few words. Instead of easing the situation, the situation intensified, and an online troll war was ready to start.
However, this is just getting ready to go.
Within a few days, the General Administration of Optoelectronics issued a document on regulating network behavior, focusing on accountability for the current chaos of traffic trolls. To some extent, it became a decisive blow to kill the small fresh meat economy. Ning Yuan
Before the company here even had time to exert its efforts, they found in confusion that all their opponents had been defeated.
Maybe this is what the legend says: You fell before I even took action?
The Propaganda Department of Ningyuan Company thought that the headquarters had taken action to affect the market, but then thought about it, there was no need for the headquarters to do such a thing that would hurt the enemy a thousand times and harm itself eight hundred-although they were not the biggest vested interests in the small fresh meat economy.
, but there is still a point in related cooperation. You can’t just squeeze the KPIs of other departments to death just to promote a new movie, right?
Unless the boss at the headquarters has a crazy brain, he wouldn't be able to do such a bad thing.
This group of workers probably would never have imagined that the big boss at their company headquarters was really going crazy right now. He was just being stared at by the sharp eyes of his mother-in-law and his wife.
Grandma: "Lu Tianjiao, do you have anything else to tell me?"
