waiting for your starlight

Chapter 100

Hu Zhengzhi was near the hotel, and Li Chenglang went to pick her up in person. After entering the banquet hall, he said, "I didn't expect Alice to be in Beijing."

Hu Zhengzhi said: "I didn't expect that you still remembered her. She seldom came to Hong Kong these years, and the friends around Yilu almost couldn't remember what she looked like. Even I rarely met her all year round. .”

Li Chenglang smiled, "Do you want me to accompany you to find her?"

"No. I came here so suddenly, I have to say hello to Mingda's Director Zhou first, and then go find her."

Hu Zhengzhi stepped on his high heels and left, leaving Li Chenglang standing there, lost in thought.

As the time approached 11:[-] noon, the number of guests in the hall gradually increased. Some people began to notice that Best Actor Li was actually at the scene, and kept looking at him while whispering.Finally, a girl plucked up the courage to come up to talk to him, but before she approached him, she turned around suddenly and left the banquet hall without warning.

The hustle and bustle in his ears was getting farther and farther away, and it felt like returning to 13 years ago, when he left the noisy birthday party and walked alone to Shen Yilu's garden.

Thinking of Hu Zhengzhi's surprise just now, she was like this only because he never mentioned to anyone that he and Alice still have such a relationship.No one would have thought that a 23-year-old man would have a good time with an eight-year-old girl.

It may sound unbelievable, but to him at that time, he really regarded her as a friend.

Li Chenglang made his debut at the age of 18. His first work was a film by the great director Xu Hua, and he played with Shen Yilu at his peak.Because of such a high starting point, in many people's minds, his career as a filmmaker went smoothly from the very beginning.Maybe it was really too long ago, they all forgot that after his initial emergence, Li Chenglang disappeared from the entertainment industry for two full years.

The contract dispute with the brokerage company made him fall into the first trough in his life. He had no job and no income. In the end, he couldn't even maintain his place of residence, so he could only borrow at a friend's house.At the time, he didn't even know if he would be able to continue acting and have this dream job.

When Shen Yilu invited him to his daughter's birthday party, he was actually very surprised, because it would undoubtedly offend many people.But Shen Yilu's status in the circle was high enough at that time, and she always went her own way, so she was not afraid of those threats at all.She personally called him to come over, and joked that she might meet Bole at the banquet to help him through this difficult time.

So he went, did not meet Bole, but met an angel.

Until now, he still clearly remembers everything that happened that day.Memory is a river that washes away the irrelevant grit and leaves only what is worth cherishing.

He met little Alice in the sunny garden, he was smoking, and she was sitting on the swing with the puppy, looking at him curiously.She was so beautiful that he guessed her identity at the first sight.The small face was carved with jade, and the eyes were clear, like the purest gems.He didn't really like children at that time, but he was moved by her eyes and walked over uncontrollably.

It's interesting to think about what happened next.She was the little birthday star of the day, but she frowned and sighed. The little girl's serious appearance was unexpectedly mature, which made him want to laugh.

So she got angry, "Obviously you are not happy, why are you laughing at me?"

He was surprised, "How do you know I'm not happy?"

She raised the puppy and whined at him, her face swollen into a little bun, "Not only I know, but Hami also knows. The way you frightened people just now is exactly the same as when Mom and Dad are usually angry."

After saying this, her mood suddenly fell, and she hugged the dog into her arms.Maybe it was because of too much strength, the puppy barked twice, was patted on the head by her and became quiet again.

Li Chenglang had vaguely heard before that Shen Yilu and her husband had a bad relationship, and they had rarely seen each other in the past six months.Seeing the dejected look of the little girl at this moment, I suddenly felt boundless love and affection.

Just about to say something comforting, she raised her head again, blinked her eyes and said, "I don't want to celebrate my birthday. Is there any way you can make it so that I don't have this birthday?"

He froze, "Why don't you think about it?"

She was bored for a while, "She has never celebrated my birthday like this. I don't like it. Grandma said that children can only eat one candy a day. If I don't want my mouth to be bitter at night, I have to keep the candy." Let's put it to the end to eat..."

He understood the childish words.The little girl was only worried that after this time, there would be no next time. After her parents celebrated her, it would be a long separation.

His heart softened, and he said softly: "But Alice, everyone is here, the party has already started..."

"Then can I not cut the cake? If I don't cut the cake, this birthday doesn't count, right?"

She looked at him eagerly, and he wondered: "Why don't you cut the cake?"

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a solution, come with me."

The girl's little hand held his, so soft, with a sweet fragrance, that he didn't dare to exert any strength.She led him in through the side door, watched ghostly outside the kitchen for a long time, and after seeing that no one was there, she quickly dragged him in.

An eight-layer birthday cake was placed in the kitchen, symbolizing that she was eight years old this year. On the top was a little girl made of cream, and the skirt was exactly the same as the one she was wearing.

She explained to him, "They won't roll out the cake until after five o'clock, and they're all busy dancing now."

"so?"

"So, we'll just have to break it before then and save the cake!"

He was dumbfounded, but she looked at him nervously and expectantly, her eyes were ridiculously bright.Seeing him hesitate, she clenched her small fists and wriggled like brown sugar, "Uncle Li, how about you, Uncle Li! Help me!"
