"Actually, before I met you, I had speculated more than once about the relationship between you and He Tianran, because..."
"Because of what?"
"...Although He Tianran has always acted like he has to be with you, looking back, you seem...not to love him that much."
This question has been buried in Wen Liang's heart for a long time. The answer she saw in He Tianran was indeed infatuation, but that was only a one-sided perspective.
Wen Liang didn't need to have any scruples to talk everything out now. She liked Cao Aiqing's way of communicating. At least she didn't have to wear masks like in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry.
Cao Aiqing's eyes were still soft. Not only did he not show any anger towards this slightly offensive conclusion, but he smiled and said:
"If I try my best to express how much I love him in front of you now, would it be a bit self-proclaimed? So let me guess first, why do you think so..."
Wen Liang acquiesced to her behavior and did not interrupt her. Cao Aiqing pondered for a moment and said:
"You think that I have known him for so many years and have never confirmed our relationship, but I still want to occupy the position in his heart and make him wait, but I have done nothing, so this approach makes you feel... disgusted , as if I’m not worthy of his waiting for me, is that right?”
Such an idea is not difficult to guess. Wen Liang nodded slightly:
"It is undeniable that some of my initial thoughts were indeed very worldly. He Tiantian's family has a great business. Before I got to know him, I was reluctant to believe that such a rich second generation would be so simple to wait for someone. This seemed incompatible with the environment he was in, but in this industry and in this world, it seems that there should be such people existing. Later, I gradually accepted this.
Is he stupid? No, he is very smart, but sometimes he will be clumsy in his bones when dealing with some things. I really like this about him, but after all, I am not the person he wants to wait for.
To be honest, it makes me jealous...
I sometimes wonder if you are taking advantage of your relationship over the years to deliberately hang him up. If that's the case, then it would be nice to watch me Wen Liang Heng Dao immediately play a beauty saving the hero …”
At this point, she paused briefly, smiled to herself, and shook her head:
"It's just that the more I think about it, the more I feel that we shouldn't think about it that way. We are both women, and I know that the youth he is waiting for is also your youth. Whether it is four or five years, or seven or eight years, time has a great impact on each of us. Personally speaking, it's all fair. If you really want something and want to master him, you should do it as quickly as possible instead of dragging it out and wasting your time...
So, I just can’t figure out why you are doing this..."
Naturally, this was not the first time Cao Aiqing had heard this argument, but when these words were spoken by Wen Liang, they had a completely different meaning.
Because she is not a busybody who is watching the excitement and making trouble; rather, she is a caring person who will personally participate in it.
Cao Aiqing listened quietly. Unlike Bai Wenyu's answer to a similar question last time, facing this girl of the same age, the same beauty, and who liked the same person, she didn't want to reveal the terrible incident that happened to He Tianran. Past events, because this will bring the conversation between two people back to the most basic level.
I loved him, he betrayed me, I was angry, he came to comfort me...
Cao Aiqing really didn't want to repeat this ridiculous plot that happened when he was young in front of a love rival like Wen Liang, just to make it laughable.
Although that is indeed one of the main reasons for Cao and He's current situation, love is ultimately a matter between two people and does not need to be known to a third person. From Cao Aiqing's point of view, the separation and lovesickness in the past few years are also a matter of love. She was deeply touched, and what she has to do now is to prevent such an incident from happening again.
Just listen to her slowly say:
"Actually, you don't have to think about it. After all, you and I are two different people. As for the purpose of love, we may reach the same destination through different paths, but our concepts of love are ultimately different.
For example, I have seen the Vlog you shot with Tianran. You seem to like this kind of exciting and adventurous things. Can I think that this can also be regarded as your attitude towards love? "
"...That's right."
It was a rare opportunity to be honest and honest. Both girls wanted to talk in depth, and Wen Liang was the first to say:
"As I said just now, this is the kind of person I am.
My philosophy is to do whatever you want to do boldly. If you hold back and are secretive, then this kind of life is really boring. You may feel uncomfortable saying some words, but since we have talked about it here, I'm not afraid of offending you for a while..."
Although both women looked calm at the moment, Wen Liang was very excited from the inside. To be precise, she seemed to be in a state of about to launch an attack. It seemed that Cao Aiqing's appearance , it indeed aroused a certain desire to win that she had suppressed for a long time.
If Wen Liang wants to take a step closer to He Tianran, she has to face Cao Aiqing. This is bound to happen sooner or later, and the fact that she can't decide the time is what makes Wen Liang most uncomfortable.
Now, the other party actually appeared in front of us. No matter how polite the other party was before fighting, no matter how calm the scene was, Wen Liang knew that this could not change one fact -
That is, when the two of them see He Tianran next time...
Everything will have a choice.
"..."
In Wen Liang's superficial impression of Cao Aiqing, he has already realized that the other person is not a person who will compromise, and the same is true for himself. Therefore, before formally meeting the man, there are certain things that Wen Liang would not be able to do to Cao Aiqing. To put it lightly, what is important is humility and gentleness.
After all, if you don’t say these words now, you may never have the chance to say them again...
Wen Liang said in a deep voice:
"Cao Aiqing, it's not that I'm deliberately asking for help, but if our identities were reversed and the person He Tianran was waiting for was me, then I don't think I would allow such a thing as 'waiting' to happen..."
"...Want some candy?"
Just when Wen Liang was about to make a splash and launch an offensive, Cao Aiqing suddenly reached out and touched the canvas bag he was carrying, took out a long small iron box, poured two mints out of it, and asked with a smile. …
"..."
The girl who was about to get up was suddenly interrupted, and the emotions she had just raised disappeared. Her eyes moved from the other party's cute smile to the open palms in front of her.
"Take one. If you eat something sweet at this time, you will feel much better."
The other party remained warm, and Wen Liang sighed, "I'm not in a bad mood..."
She reluctantly picked up a piece of candy with her fingers and put it into her mouth. She didn't taste it carefully. She just closed her teeth and crushed it immediately. A refreshing and refreshing taste of mint spread in her mouth instantly.
Cao Aiqing also put the mint candy into her mouth, but instead of chewing it directly like Wen Liang, she preferred to sip it carefully until the taste slowly melted in her mouth, and then she continued the topic. asked:
"Wen Liang, do you think...'waiting' is not worth it in love?"
After eating the candy, Wen Liang's tone was no longer so harsh, but her attitude did not give in at all. She said bluntly:
"Not only is it not worth it, it is simply a waste of time. In my opinion, if two people are really in love, then what should be tested is their time together, not to separate each other and make each of them endure After a period of suffering, we can be together.
what is this? Is it successful? But why do people who should be together long ago still drag their feet in various aspects and provide resistance to each other?
It seems that you have used time to prove your own character, but you have never personally tested how to get along and accompany each other. Clearly, this should be the most important part of love...
That's why I feel that the agreed-upon 'waiting' between you and He Tianran is essentially a waste of time..."
Cao Aiqing listened in silence, her lips moving slightly, gently stirring the candy in her mouth.
Originally, Wen Liang felt that her words would negate some of the things the other party had adhered to over the years, and that she would no longer have a good look on her. However, Cao Aiqing just paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her and said happily:
"But if you change your perspective, in response to this 'expectation', you will look at nature more vividly..."
Wen Liang was puzzled: "Do you think this is a good thing?"
"At least it's not bad for you."
Cao Aiqing hung the canvas bag on his shoulder, put his hands on the railing, looked at the river in the distance, and said to himself:
"If he wasn't waiting for me, it would be very difficult for a person of his status to notice certain qualities in him. For example, as you just said, you like his clumsy energy very much. I like his misfit.
I think it was precisely because of this 'waiting' state between us that you occasionally got to know him a little more deeply and liked him a little more. If you think about it, between me and him, there is no difference between you and me. What you say is so useless and a waste of time...
After all, we are all showing our good sides to others. "
Following Cao Aiqing's seemingly retreating words, Wen Liang was instantly speechless.
Yes, Wen Liang once said that she did not want to kill a romantic idealist. Although He Tianran's life is not only filled with distant love, responsibility, loyalty and vows, these are undoubtedly thanks to Cao Aiqing. It was only during the more than half a year that Wen Liang had been in contact with He Tianran that he could experience his character firsthand.
Wen Liang knew that his liking for adventure or excitement was not praiseworthy at all, because there were too many people in this world who flaunted their own uniqueness. Some people said they liked flying. When they talked about the sky, they were free and unrestrained. To lose weight and lose balance, throw your soul into the air.
But in fact, whenever there is a little thunder in the sky, a little rain, or a little wind, they will only care about the muddy road, soaked clothes and trousers, and their mood that becomes gloomy and depressed along with the weather.
They sat in a clean room and stood under the clear sky, thinking that it would be romantic to be able to fly against the wind.
And these spiritual beliefs are always more convincing when put into practice than verbally...
Because only those who can soar in the rain, fly against the wind and still laugh out loud are the true idealists.
After thinking about it like this, Wen Liang felt that maybe he didn't understand He Tianran well enough...
In other words, it was what Cao Aiqing and he had experienced together that made Wen Liang feel dwarfed...
"Wen Liang, the waiting is over now, I'm back, and when I come back this time, I don't want to argue with you about which of us loves He Tianran more, or who is more suitable for He Tianran, and I don't ask you to understand me. The way he was being treated, it didn't make sense.
Does it matter whose romance it is? Every rain has its own plants and trees that need it and regard it as a blessing. Some people regard it as the water splash illuminated by street lights in the depression. Some people regard it as God's fireworks. The same is true for the way people get along with each other. We are all in different situations. At this stage, everyone just takes what they need. Being at war with each other is not what I came for...
Tomorrow, do you want to go back to Hong Kong City with me? "
Finally, Cao Aiqing suggested this.
…
…
The next day.
The plane flew across the blue sky. It was a two-hour flight from Shanghai to the port city. Cao Aiqing was sitting next to Wen Liang. But the closer to the port city, the less communication the two girls had. They both had their own concerns.
“It’s useless to be longing for lovesickness, but it’s just pure madness to feel melancholy…”
Cao Aiqing put down a biography of a poet called "A Guest from Chang'an", which happened to be about Li Shangyin. After reading, she closed the page, looked sideways at the white clouds outside the porthole, and recited with emotion.
Wen Liang raised his eyes to glance at her, then silently closed his eyes and put on his headphones.
Knowing that longing for lovesickness is futile and melancholy is endless, but the love is so deep that it is unforgettable and unforgettable.
Compared with the other party who can use poetry to directly express his feelings at the moment, Wen Liang's mood is at a loss, and he doesn't know how to face some of the things that are going to happen next...
A tense situation is not Cao Aiqing's intention...
But her appearance did achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
This can be said to be the most peaceful and decent way...
Of course, this is also the cleanest way...
Until now, Wen Liang was still at a loss.
What does Cao Aiqing mean to He Tianran? If Wen Liang only had a vague concept before and had positive thoughts about competing with each other, now that Cao Aiqing's image has become completely clear, she is so pessimistic that she doesn't know what to do.
Now, Wen Liang can only selfishly hope that Cao Aiqing did not perform so well in front of him. She will make mistakes and have some flaws...
Because only in this way can Wen Liang see a little bit of the shadow that he can linger on when the long-lost white moonlight shines on He Tianran.
But what she didn't know was that in Cao Aiqing's life up to now, she had never made a single mistake...
On the phone, there was a song demo sent by Wei Xing this morning. Her own singing voice came from the earphones, sad and silent at the right time, as if she was telling her feelings at the moment...
The face of the vulture in the sky, the memory of half a life is hovering
The day and night line after the 31st day, wait for the dark night to ask the day
Can I be forgiven, this gray world...
Don't exchange day and night...
Frozen tears, one drop is very salty
…
…
"Why do you want to change the lyrics to 'The day and night line after the 31st day'?"
"Because they only loved each other for thirty days."
"ah?"
"It's more in line with the plot of the drama, because you see, starting from the wedding on September 1st, Yu Wen only served as queen for thirty days. During this period, she became jealous because of love, rebelled and revolted. It just so happens that September only has thirty days, and we can’t see the end of the new day, so the symbolic meaning will be even stronger.”
"Symbolic meaning? You mean, I am the night?"
"Haha, this is what you said. Let's discuss the matter. After all, in the play, the character you play is Yu Wen, who is a bit of a villain. If the heroine symbolizes light and is full of warm sun, then you It is indeed the night and the moon. Whether it is the feelings for the male protagonist or the promotion of the entire plot, such a symbol of the unity and metaphor of opposites naturally determines the ending of the character, so I changed a few lyrics. You sing Give it a try.”
…
…
Recalling the scene when He Tianran explained the lyrics to himself when he first got the lyrics, Wen Liang was in a daze, thinking that drama is like life, so why are there only people in the drama singing in this song?
The moon has no temperature, so when the sun rises, the lingering warmth is naturally not important...
The bruises under the skin ooze blood.
The despair in the cells screams injustice
Being whipped by the loneliness of September...
…
It's nice to be in mid-air, not noisy and there are few people
But I can see the storms in the horizon...
The song kept looping in her ears. The plane arrived at the airport without any delay. When she got off the plane, Wen Liang's footsteps were extremely heavy. She was wondering if He Tianran would feel a little bit uncomfortable if he saw her and Cao Aiqing appear together. What's the dilemma?
If that were the case, it would be better...
Because this shows that he has indeed considered himself in his emotional choices...
When she walked out of the domestic arrival passage, there were many people picking up the plane in the terminal lobby. Some people were holding signs in twos and threes. Soon, she heard someone shout...
"Wen Liang!"
She looked around with some surprise, and was a little disappointed when she found the person coming, but soon, a happy and bright smile appeared on her face again.
They were a group of fans holding up her "Inner Wild" character posters and support signs...
There are not many of them, only eleven or twelve of them together. Since the filming of "Into the Wild" was completed, for the sake of publicity, the company will occasionally publish some of her schedule announcements and put them in the fan club.
It's just that in recent years, Wen Liang's fans have been losing rapidly due to the frequent exposure of black material. Although her reputation has improved in the past six months, the series has not yet been aired, so it has not yet reached her true ascension.
However, along the way over the past few years, there have been people who have always liked her, and among them there are some loyal fans who have been following her since she was in the band...
Their eyes were filled with the kind of enthusiasm and admiration they felt after seeing their idols, and these smiles were so real that the warmth and coolness that had been trapped in worries about gains and losses almost made them shed tears...
Yes, I am such a good person, how come no one likes me?
Wen Liang raised his head again and walked towards the gathering place of his fans. He greeted them one by one, talked about his recent work, and signed autographs...
However, just as she was signing her name, through the gap in the crowd, she saw a tall man standing not far away...
In his hand, he still held flowers...
The eyes of the two people interacted in mid-air.
The man smiled and nodded at her. Wen Liang immediately looked away and took the poster handed over by another fan...
A woman slowly walked up to the man, and the latter handed over the flowers.
Then, the two slowly embraced each other, like a pair of lovers reunited after a long separation.
He Tianran...
Sure enough, he is still the He Tianran that I like...
He didn't have any trouble.
Should I suffer, or should I be blessed?
Wen Liang's heart was full of bitterness. She stood not far away, surrounded by a circle of fans. All the omens and signs seemed to tell her that everything in her life was getting better.
At this moment, all the voices were quiet, the stage was set, the curtain was opened, and the spotlight finally shone on her.
She is colorful, brilliant, and full of vitality...
However, she, who attracted so much attention, looked away from the crowd...
The couple who hugged each other intimately without anyone else around them were so happy.
The changes of the sun and the moon are so natural. This proud rose that has lost all its colorful colors is finally defeated by a sugar cube that has traveled thousands of miles across mountains and seas to reach your hands and put it in your mouth...
Thank you for your time, my eyes are red
The aperture of the past, every moment is stunning
The days and nights that passed by were lonely cultivation practices
Saying goodbye is worse than forgetting to see you again, today...
On this day, Wen Liang's fans will never forget Wen Liang's gratitude to them, because when she said these words, although there was a smile on her face, there was a mist in her eyes.
This girl's personality would not let her cry over such a thing. (End of chapter)
