once i loved you

Chapter 22

Chen Xize felt that the polite words of Cen Xiao were really stupid, as if they were printed in a book.Not grounded at all.He shouldn't have laughed, but he was giggling heartlessly, and something in his heart collapsed inch by inch and turned into powder.

He himself had no idea how forced and ugly his smile was.

Cen Xiao didn't intend to say these words to Chen Xize, but it was such a coincidence that he hit his heart.But before she had time to find out that something was wrong with Chen Xize, Gu Weiye had already called Chen Xize aside.

Cen Xiao didn't understand, so he didn't know what Gu Weiye wanted to say to Chen Xize alone.But it was not suitable to disturb them at the moment, so she put down her curiosity and asked Song Qian to take a photo of herself and Bai Gu.

When Song Qian took the camera, Cen Xiao had already sat cross-legged a little behind the bone.Her left hand hangs down from the knee on the same side like running water, and her right hand supports her chin. Her upper body naturally tilts to the right center of gravity. Her brown hair contrasts nicely with the yellow sand in the background.

She is wearing a loose and flowing white chiffon hakama today, a white basic T-shirt on her upper body, and a black straw hat with a small brim on her head.In the picture, she is like a white cat strayed into the desert, wild, lazy and cute.

When Cen Xiao and Song Qian returned to the car, they glanced at Gu Weiye and Chen Xize from a distance. Although their expressions were a little serious, fortunately, they were not at the point of being tense.From this, Cen Xiao was sure that they didn't have a conflict, maybe they just had something to discuss, so he got into the car with peace of mind.

Gu Weiye and Chen Xize remained silent since they got back into the car.Cen Xiao has been busy grasping the scenery passing by, but also kept quiet.During the whole journey, Song Qian was the only one talking and joking with Master Chen.

Leaving seemed easier than coming.

Somewhere, Cen Xiao always felt that someone had set the pointer of time forward.

She didn't check the time specifically, but felt that Master Chen didn't take long at all, so she drove the car out of the desert.

She told Gu Weiye her feelings, and he smiled lightly and told Cen Xiao, "You are not the first to feel the same way. I remembered a story I heard before."

Cen Xiao asked him to listen. Gu Weiye glanced at the seat where Chen Xize was sitting, and was silent for a while. In the end, he ignored Song Qian who was on the side, put his mouth to her ear, and said in a low voice: "When there are only two of us, I Let me tell you—"

There was a very faint smell of grass after the rain on him, which made her heart beat fast.

She also imitated him and said helplessly in a very low voice, okay.But my heart is already looking forward to his story.

I don't know if it's because of how much older she is, because she has experienced more human affairs, or because he is really talented. Anyway, he always seems to be able to easily understand her thoughts.

Gu Weiye nodded her nose and told her, "Don't expect too much, it's just a very ordinary story."

It's not a joke, he chose not to talk about it now because he was taking Chen Xize's feelings into consideration.

Gu Weiye saw Chen Xize's abnormality based on what Cen Xiao said just now, so he felt that it was necessary to have a talk with him.

When talking, he did not make loud claims of sovereignty, nor did he sound a warning in a nasty tone.He just told him very simply that he respected his right to participate in the competition, but he would never let it go, and advised him to think carefully.

Gu Weiye has always been a person who is very clear about himself and others—it is mine, and I will always hold on to it, and it is not mine, and he will not care about it from the beginning.

After Cen Xiao returned to Beijing, the number of meetings with Gu Weiye did not become more frequent just because his movie was finished.On the contrary, because he has been away for a long time, his studio has accumulated a lot of things that he needs to deal with, and he has become even busier.

He seems to be intentionally changing his previous semi-retired state, especially since entering the summer, Gu Weiye has taken on many more events than before, and even once or twice, as a guest, he abnormally attended two more moderate-style events variety show.

However, with the experience of traveling hand in hand, Cen Xiao is already used to the feeling of him being by his side, and she can hardly adapt to such a long separation.

On a Saturday in mid-May, it rained all day in Beijing until night fell.

She was unwell during her menstrual period, so she didn't go out. Holding a hot fruit tea, she sat on the bed and watched TV dramas all day long.

When she received the call from Gu Weiye, she was watching the parting scene of the characters in the play. Then, when she heard the gentle voice from the phone, all the grievances she had accumulated for many days suddenly jumped out.

"Yesterday you said that the weather was suddenly hot and you lost your appetite. Did you eat well today?" She suppressed her emotions and didn't want him to find out her emotional disappointment.

"Miss me?" He answered irrelevantly, with a hint of complacency in his voice.

When Cen Xiao was told, her suppressed emotions were like a group of horses that had opened the brakes, and they all jumped out at once. She endured and endured, and finally she let out a very long and light "um".

"Me too," he said, "I miss you too."

There is no time to meet.When she was thinking of him, why didn't he think of her?
In the past half month, he went to participate in activities during the day, participated in commercial shooting, and negotiated new scripts. After the event, he had to return to the company to call his subordinates for meetings until late at night.It's only free for a few hours in the wee hours of the morning.Of course Gu Weiye would be happy to take these few hours to meet her, but he really couldn't bear to delay her normal rest.

"Tomorrow I will participate in the filming of an advertisement, maybe I can finish it earlier. If not," he seemed embarrassed and apologetic, obviously he said this because he had no other choice, "Can you come and visit my class? During the break , I can stay with you for a while."

Cen Xiao immediately agreed, and after asking the specific location, he took note of it carefully, and then suggested, "You have a bad appetite, can I make vegetarian dumplings for you? Forget it, it will be dumped... Do you have any other dumplings?" If you really want to eat, I can bring it for you tomorrow."

"Just eat the dumplings." His laughter came from the phone, a little tired and full of expectation, "Cen Xiao, I want to eat the vegetarian dumplings you made."

Cen Xiao got up very early the next day, washed up, soaked the black fungus and wild mushrooms, and then went out to buy other ingredients.She likes to use long beans as the main filling. In addition to the above two, she also puts eggs, vermicelli, and a small amount of chopped shrimp, minced ginger, minced green onion, etc. in the dumplings for seasoning.

With something to do, this day will not be difficult.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the shooting location he told her.

Gu Weiye failed to show up in time, and it was Ben who received her.Long time no see, Cen Xiao exchanged a few words with Ben. Ben was busy with other things, and finally arranged for her to sit in the nanny's car and left.

She was mentally prepared before coming here, so she could still accept such an arrangement calmly.

Cen Xiao checked the time a few times, and by the time she saw the display on the phone at [-]:[-], she had already been waiting for him for three hours.After a short hesitation, she decided to go down and take a look.In order not to disturb Gu Weiye, she didn't intend to get too close.

The news that Gu Weiye participated in the advertisement here was leaked somehow.Dozens of fans appeared at the entrance of the studio set up by the filming party.She was mixed in the crowd, pushed to and fro, no matter how much she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't see what was going on inside.

In the end, Cen Xiao had no choice but to back out, keeping a certain distance from the crowd, standing far away and waiting.

She stood for too long, and when it was close to nine o'clock, she felt a stomach ache.There is usually no physical pain on the second day of the special period, and she did not bring painkillers when she came out this time.

She struggled to find a pharmacy, but the place was remote, and she walked past two pharmacies along the way, but none of them were open 24 hours a day, and they had closed their doors a long time ago.

The subway entrance was not far away from her. In this situation, although the decision was difficult, Cen Xiao thought about it and finally took the subway to go home first.She wasn't angry with him, but she still felt uncomfortable, a little wronged and disappointed.

Because of a problem with an important prop involved in the shooting, the shooting of this day was interrupted, and the unfinished part was postponed to the next day.When Gu Weiye walked into the lounge, Ben just put down Cen Xiao's phone.

Ben told the boss that Cen Xiao left first because of physical discomfort.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Weiye heard this, he hurriedly changed his clothes, put on a plain black baseball cap and chased after him.

Ben is a master who has been trained in wind and rain, and he is able to deal with any emergencies with ease.Although there are not many movie fans gathered outside, if Gu Weiye really rushes out like this, the situation will not be optimistic.

Fortunately, when he followed suit step by step, Ben discovered that Gu Weiye had copied a different path, which did not cause any confusion for the time being.

But if I really just chased him to the subway like this, it was really hard to predict whether there would be other problems.He knew that even if he rushed over to stop him, it would be impossible to stop Gu Weiye, so he had no choice but to follow the boss's wishes.

On the subway after nine o'clock, there are many empty seats, and as far as the eye can see, there are only three or two passengers.

Sitting and resting, she soon felt less pain.There was a cool air blowing in the subway, Cen Xiao couldn't help wrapping up the cardigan he was wearing outside.She was so tired, she felt that her eyelids were getting heavy, and she even fell asleep lightly.

The cloth satchel containing the lunch box was hanging on her wrist, but as she gradually lost consciousness, her hand also lost the power to control it.The bag started from her palm to the base of her fingers, and finally slid to the tips of her fingers. When it was about to fall to the ground, it was caught by a slender hand.

Her bag didn't have a zipper, and there was a snap button in the middle. When he lifted it up, he saw the crisper inside through the open gap of the bag.

The man held the bag, looked at her again, and sighed almost incomprehensibly.

In the sparsely populated subway, he adjusted the brim of his baseball hat while bending down, lightly supported her chin with his palm, and kissed her eyes like a dragonfly.

When the subway announced that the next stop was the terminal, she finally woke up.It was the first time that I fell asleep so deeply while sitting up.

Turning her eyes following the rustling sounds, Cen Xiao saw Gu Weiye holding the chopsticks she had prepared in one hand and the fresh-keeping box in the other, eating the cold dumplings in the white plastic box.

Feeling the eyes on him, he temporarily stopped the chopsticks, measured his body, and smiled at her, "Are you awake?"

The grievance and discomfort of the whole night have disappeared in no time.

With red eyes, she wanted to ask him: Why did you come here?
But he didn't know whether it was tired or excited, Cen Xiao found that at this moment, he couldn't make a sound.
