Back home, Xie Lansheng still felt aggrieved, and when his mother scolded him, he felt even more aggrieved.

Li Jingrou said: "There is nothing serious all day long!"

Xie Lansheng tried to defend again: "Making movies is a business."

"Don't keep hanging around with me!" Li Jingrou spoke Beijing dialect, "By the way, a man called, and the voice was quite calm." She took out a manuscript paper, "This is from his hotel phone number!"

"Oh, thank you, Mom." Xie Lansheng looked down and found that it was the main station number of the VIP Building of Beijing Hotel, which is also the most luxurious hotel in Beijing. Thinking that Xinye is really rich, he picked up the phone and dialed it.

The phone was transferred into the room, and a male voice rang: "Huh?"

Xie Lansheng said, "It's me."

"I heard it." Xinye asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"It's not a big deal." Xin Ye said, "I thought you were...frustrated? He said he wanted to take you to have a nice meal."

Xie Lansheng still felt aggrieved and asked, "Then have you finished eating too?"

"I haven't, I'm waiting for your call back."

Xie Lansheng didn't eat a few mouthfuls of mutton in "Donglaishun", and only took care of the printing workers. At this time, he wanted to eat and see Xinye again, and said: "I'm not full. I want to have a good meal, I want to eat 'Hong Kong Food City'.”

Xin Ye smiled: "Success, wait."

"Ah."

So, even though it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Xie Lansheng opened the door and went out to continue the stall amidst the complaints of his mother Li Jingrou.

When I went out, I didn't see Xinye, but I heard a "beep"!Just as he was about to scold him for being crazy, he saw clearly the familiar face of Xin Ye in the driver's seat!

"..." Xie Lansheng got into the car and asked, "Where did you get the car again?" I don't know what happened, but when he saw Xinye, his grievance dissipated a lot.This is the hero of "Rooting", his companion, his comrade-in-arms, they have the same DNA, he is not alone.

"It's rented." Xinye said lazily, turned on the left turn signal, looked in the rearview mirror, and glanced at the blind spot, then drove the luxury car into the main street very smoothly.

Xie Lansheng asked, "Rent?"

"Well," Xinye pressed down the car window with a long finger, put one hand on the gear lever, and lightly held the steering wheel with the other hand. Every time he turned, he pressed his palm on the steering wheel with ease, "Beijing can rent a car now. Yes, only this year."

"Renting a car..." Xie Lansheng thought about it, "Then, do you have to rent a car and drive it yourself during your stay in Beijing?"

"should be."

Xie Lansheng looked at him with his eyes, and asked Xin Ye very seriously: "Is it much more expensive to choose bread? I think bread is more practical, and it can attract people and goods." After speaking, he quickly explained, "I didn't mean this The car can pull the crew and props, and it’s very easy to go to Lishu Township, just hit ‘Dafa’ and you’ll be there. I mean, it’s more convenient for you.”

Xinye was waiting for the red light, with one arm resting on the edge of the window, and his index finger resting on his lower lip. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smiled, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Xie Lansheng was very proud when he saw that he was helpful, "Okay!"

It only takes 15 minutes to drive from Dongsishitiao to Donghuamen. Xinye has a good sense of direction, and he arrived at the place in a short while.

"Hong Kong Food City" is Cantonese cuisine, the first of the "three swords and one axe". Xie Lansheng has never been here, so I don't know how it is better than "Da Sanyuan".A few years ago, Cantonese cuisine was very popular in Beijing, and the seafood was so delicious that it was the first time that the people of Beijing knew that a meal could be so expensive.

The inside is really magnificent, and there is a waitress standing behind every diner. If they want to drink, the waiter pours it into the cup; But there is no such battle at all.

"Hey..." Xie Lansheng was shocked.

Xin Ye was indifferent, sat down carelessly, opened the menu, lowered his eyes, and ordered four or five dishes at once.

The dishes came up one after another.Shark fin needles are transparent and soft, tough and crisp, thick but not greasy, very delicious.

After Xie Lansheng finished eating, she was also a little happier. She narrated to Xinye all the things that happened in the past few days, and finally said: "It's like a movie plot to use Chi Zhonghe."

Xin Ye felt a little shocked when he heard it.He could even imagine the embarrassment and embarrassment they had bred in the silence of "Donglaishun" just now. They were complicated and subtle, and they became more and more viscous amidst the bustle of diners.

The apex of the heart is like being stabbed by a needle.

This guy bumped into walls everywhere, his head was already bleeding, but he still didn't repent. He liked to laugh, he laughed at everyone, until his cheeks were sore on both sides, but his teeth were cold.He was stuck in the quagmire, but he wiped his sweat on his own, and walked over on his own, and made a re-shooting plan within a day, just to find the oasis in his mind that was fertile and beautiful.

Xinye said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that x-rays can't be done."

"What does it have to do with you? It's because I haven't researched it thoroughly." At this time, only half of the dishes on the table in front of me were left, and Xie Lansheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. 40 re-shoots after a week?"

"Ah."

"Here, it's all on this piece of paper, and I sent it to my daughter. I have some new ideas about some of the scenes, and I want to discuss them with you."

"Okay," Xin Ye took a bite of the roasted pigeon, "say."

During the meal that followed, Xie Lansheng took out several scenes and talked about them, and explored with Xinye, Xinye felt really good, took the new script in his hand, and beckoned Xie Lansheng to order a mullet egg As for the soup, Xie Lansheng still didn't have a single bite left, and he felt that after eating this meal, he would be able to enjoy the first half of the year.

…………

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when I came out.The stars in the sky are competing to twinkle, as if they can be overwhelmed.

As Xinye walked, he asked Xie Lansheng, "Is that suffocation gone?"

"It's a lot better after eating." Xie Lansheng replied, "However, I'm still a little depressed and suffocated."

As he said that, Xie Lansheng took out the cigarette, took out one and squeezed it in his mouth, and asked Xin Ye: "Would you like one?"

Xin Ye shook his head.

Xie Lansheng is not addicted to smoking.Apart from writing books and socializing, he never smokes on his own initiative. However, at this time today, because of the psychological humiliation, he kind of wants to have a cigarette, so that the suffocation in his chest can be visibly taken out by the naked eye, and the nicotine can also stimulate dopamine. Make him happy.

After smoking this one, it will be fine.

It was a bit cold and windy tonight, Xie Lansheng held a cigarette in his hand and didn't light it for a long time.Lighters flashed and disappeared on the streets of Beijing, and the sound of clicking and clicking was annoying.

"..." Xie Lansheng was a little irritable again, without thinking too much, he held a cigarette in his mouth, took Xin Ye's arms to shield him from the wind, and shielded himself from the wind.

Xinye looked down, only seeing Xie Lan's long eyelashes.

Tried it a few times and it's still gone.

Xie Lansheng bit his cigarette with his teeth, still didn't think too much, and said: "Xinye, I'm sorry, please use the lapel to protect you from the wind."

Xin Ye didn't say anything after hearing the words, and lifted one side of the coat with a few beautiful fingers.Xie Lansheng took another two steps closer, buried his head in Xinye's arms, and asked the other party to pull the other side of his jacket, and his forehead almost touched Xinye's chest.In order not to let the wind leak, he tried his best to get inside, the hair on his forehead rubbed against Xinye's gray shirt, he held a cigarette in one hand, and lit a lighter, so that all directions were blocked.

Xinye felt his heart beating violently, hitting his chest one after another, he was even afraid that Xie Lansheng who was buried in his arms would hear something wrong.

Fortunately, Xie Lansheng focused on lighting cigarettes.After a few puffs, the cigarette was finally lit, and he just took a big deep breath just to ignite the fire. Now that the cigarette was lit, he bit it lightly with his teeth, while stepping back, slowing down the cigarette. Spit it out slowly.

A puff of light smoke spread out and curled up, hovering between the two people.

Xie Lansheng suddenly thought that Xinye might hate the smell, he was a little sorry, and hurried to look, but when he raised his head, he bumped into two deep pupils.

Xinye was looking down at him.

Xie Lansheng also looked up at him.

Because a certain dish was a bit spicy, Xie Lansheng's lips were flushed, a slit was parted, and a cigarette was in his mouth, revealing some fine white teeth, and even a little pink tip of his tongue.The two of them looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes, through a thin cloud of rising smoke.Inexplicably, because of the light smoke, Xie Lansheng felt that the other person's eyes were blurred and unclear, and he himself seemed to be infected by this unclearness, a little dizzy, as if he was drunk.

Xin Ye thought, this is really a beautiful person.Such a beautiful person should be held and pampered most, not like today.

After a long time, Xie Lansheng came back to his senses, hastily withdrew his gaze, turned around and continued walking forward.He took another deep breath of the cigarette, trying to break the silence, and said, "Ah, after two puffs of cigarettes, I feel much better. After this, I'll be fine! At least everything is on the right track."

Xinye tidied up his coat slowly and followed.He thought, Xie Lansheng's happiness is so simple, not wealth, not status, but just making a movie.

While smoking a cigarette, Xie Lansheng casually talked to Xinye, talking about things about when he was studying, when he applied for the exam, and about when he was a child. Xie Lansheng himself didn't know why he could tell so much to Xinye In the past, it seemed that Xin Ye was different, and he must be able to understand a little bit of his crazy or insane experiences.

When they smoked most of the cigarettes, the two walked to the bus stop, and a bus drove in slowly.Xie Lansheng looked at it and said, "Okay, Xinye, I'm going home by bus. If you go east, I'll go west. It's not on my way. It's getting late."

Xinye nodded.

Xie Lansheng put out the cigarette in his mouth on a pillar, and looked around, but there was no trash can.Beijing's facilities are not perfect these days, and trash cans are not everywhere.

"Okay," Xinye guessed Xie Lansheng's intention, and said, "Give it to me, you can get in the car."

Xie Lansheng felt in his heart that this was too troublesome for Xinye, but he had no other choice, so he stretched out his index finger and middle finger with the cigarette in it, and said, "Okay, thank you."

Xinye took it over: "Yes."

"Then come to the guest house at 30 am on the 8th, and we will start the re-shooting of "Rooting"."

Xin Ye frowned: "Don't worry."

Xie Lansheng had given all instructions and had nothing else to say, so he waved his hand, turned and ran towards the bus.His figure flashed in front of the door, and he went up. The bus door slammed shut and started slowly.

After Xie Lansheng got on the bus, Xin Ye turned around and went back.He didn't see a trash can, so he returned to the car with Xie Lansheng's half cigarette.This Mercedes has an ashtray, just throw it away.

However, when he opened the ashtray lid, his hand suddenly stopped.

He remembered that when Xie Lansheng looked up in his arms, the faint mist in the entangled eyes of the two of them seemed to be very fragrant and smelled very good.

Honghe cigarettes... what brand is this?

By coincidence, Xin Ye sat in the driver's seat and lit the half cigarette in his hand on the lighter in the car.

The smoke swirled lightly again, rising in wisps of smoke.

He turned the cigarette sideways and looked down at the smoke.

It doesn't seem right.

It smells too light.Indistinctly, if there is nothing.

Not enough... not enough.

Xin Ye gently closed his eyes, leaned his head on the back of the driver's seat, his whole body was stiff.A few seconds later, his fingertips trembled slightly, he pinched the cigarette with his thumb and forefinger, put it between his lips, and pressed the tip of his tongue against the filter, just like what Xie Lansheng did just now, there was a kind of trembling pleasure, secret and strong.

He took a deep puff, and pressed all the smoke that seemed to contain something into his lungs and melted into his five internal organs. After a long while, he slowly exhaled. He opened his eyes and watched them rise and drift away.

That taste is fragrant and strong.

It's crazy.

He gently opened his eyes, looked at the void, chuckled self-deprecatingly, then pushed out the cigarette, pushed the Mercedes-Benz handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped away.

The author has something to say:

Xinye: "Mom, am I normal?"

Xin Yingdi's panda mother: "I don't think you are normal."
