Eighteen bronze figures in the entertainment industry
Chapter 26: The Shepherd of Arcadia
I was about one step away from Jiang Yilan, walking behind her.
We chatted one after another, and while chatting, I suddenly realized that in the chat after I met her by chance, we didn't mention tonight's audition a word
Maybe she was worried that if I didn't perform well, she was afraid that if I asked, it would hurt me again. I remembered that she didn't seem to know that today's audition had been changed to the leading role audition, so I was a little hesitant to tell her, thinking that if I said so , Lanlan was uncertain and felt that she didn't remind me to audition for supporting roles in time, after all, supporting roles are easier to get than leading roles.
As I was hesitating, I noticed that she stopped and looked at me.
What are you thinking, she asked me.
I smiled and prevaricated.
I decided to talk about it when the dust settled. If I got it, it would be a double surprise. If I didn’t, I would find a way to comfort Lan Lan. I had already missed the supporting role audition.
"Xiamen, don't go so fast."
I turned my head and saw that the distance from me being half a step behind her became the distance that she was one step behind me.
I laughed at her: "It's not easy to wear high heels, I tell you not to wear them normally."
She caught up with me, and gently pinched my arm: "Who told you to rush to reincarnate, who would have thought that you love painting so much."
It turns out that I love painting so much, and I have heard the words of deja vu. She also said that she didn't know that I was so enthusiastic about the performance.
Unknowingly, I replied with the original words of the year: "I just hide it so deeply, and I have a deep love for art and music."
She reacted quickly and taunted me directly with that incident: "I got the concert tickets but ate a bad stomach, and then lay in the hospital and missed the concert. It is the greatest regret in my life."
I thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's Qin Zhen's concert after all."
After all, he is your favorite pianist. Unfortunately, that concert was originally intended as a birthday present for you.
And thinking of those days lying in the hospital, I can't help but think of someone.
I said: "Think about it, whether Qin Yue's and Qin Zhen's same surname is the first step to win your favor."
However, as soon as the words came out, we all fell silent in unison.
The atmosphere turned cold all of a sudden, I was very annoyed at myself, why did I mention this taboo name, Qin Yue, this big scumbag, was the only wolf with a big tail that I couldn't guard against, who was close to Lanlan.
We walked silently, and the distance between the front and the back appeared again in silence, she was in front and I was behind.
I wanted to pat her several times, or call her to stop, but I put down my hand several times and closed my mouth.
I don't know if it was because she changed her attire to play Jiang Qi, her beauty has increased several times, and her aura has also increased several times when she is angry.
But Jiang Yilan is still Jiang Yilan, she is really simple.
"Xiamen, how long are you going to walk behind me? It's inconvenient to talk like this, and it's also inconvenient to scold you." She turned her head to look at me.
Will not fight coldly, will not be silent, will never leave you alone unless it is absolutely necessary, this is Jiang Yilan.
"...I immediately stepped forward to let you scold me." I surrendered.
And I walked up to her, she didn't scold me, she just said.
"Xiamen, don't be so far away from you and me."
"...just a few steps," I said.
I felt her sigh softly.
A gust of wind happened to blow through the open window in the corridor, blowing her long skirt.
I don't know whether it is the classic and elegant evening dress that makes her so bright and dazzling, or the beauty that makes the evening dress so simple and moving.
My heart moved uncontrollably and I leaned towards her, but my steps retreated again.
But this time, she didn't wave to me and call me over, she just said: "Turn another corner, you will see the stairs, and the next floor is the entrance of the corridor, go by yourself."
I don't know if it's my illusion, but I think there is deep fatigue in her tone.
"Are you okay?" I asked, and I didn't know why I asked.
"It's nothing. I don't have enough physical strength recently. I'll just go back and catch up on sleep after I'm busy today."
"I shouldn't increase your fatigue."
"Xiamen, you have always been a big burden."
I couldn't laugh or cry: "You are too honest."
"But I asked for it."
Jiang Yilan, who spoke harsh words but kept leading me, finally left me with only a back view, and parted ways with me.
The pedaling sound of the high-heeled shoes going away, for some reason, sounds like stepping on the heart.
Hey, I got into trouble again, I thought to myself.
In the past five years, there will always be such moments, I don't understand what she said, and she refuses what I said, and then the emotions of each other suddenly stand on the strange opposite side, and the emotions tripped together for no reason.
But I know that there is a reason for all of this. The past is always restraining us, making it impossible for us to take a step closer or step back.
Too many things happened in our last year of college, and we can't talk about it, and we don't want to talk about it.
Following the road pointed by Jiang Yilan, I walked into the art gallery in a daze, looked at the "Scream", looked at those people covering their faces in fear, and wondered if I was so distorted and pretended to be normal , but my heart is full of such shadows.
I have no intention of appreciating the paintings. The colorful oil paintings and black and white silent sketches I have seen in my eyes are all forgotten the second I leave. Although this corridor is straight, I feel that there is no end. It feels very strange. It's frustrating, like being in an unsolvable maze, only the despair is more explicit.
But I still walked, walking aimlessly, and there were often sounds of others giving up and turning around, because it was getting late after all.
And when I got to the end, there were only a few shadows looking back.
When I was wondering whether I should also turn back, I saw Jiang Qi, although he was covering his hands tightly, but I recognized that suit, it was blue.
She was quietly admiring the painting in front of her, and I walked to her side and greeted her gently.
"Hi."
"..." But Jiang Qi didn't respond to me, as if she didn't hear me, she stared at the painting in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
I also looked up.
The name of the painting is "The Shepherds of Arcadia". In the painting, several medieval shepherds are gesturing to a tombstone, as if guessing or discovering something unbelievable, and a woman next to her is meditating , Well, according to the clothes, this should be a goddess.
"Etin Arcadiaego" Jiang Qi said suddenly.
"Huh?" My attention shifted from the painting to her because of this sentence.
Jiang Qi said: "This is a good painting."
"What do you mean by that alien language?" I asked her.
"That's ancient Latin, this sentence means 'I' also in Arcadia, the words on the tombstone. Arcadia is a place in Greece near the sea of love. In the hearts of people at that time, it was similar to We are in paradise."
"I'm also in Xanadu, which me?" I asked.
"grim Reaper."
I scrutinized the painting, "So that's why the shepherds were surprised, and the surprised shepherds didn't believe that death would appear in their paradise."
"But death can appear in every place and every moment." Jiang Qi's voice sounded far away.
I took a look at her, her current expression was very similar to the goddess in the painting, she couldn’t tell whether she was happy or sad as she stared at the tombstone, the noncommittal expression on her expression seemed to be thinking, as if she was recalling, what she had been thinking about It is no longer the tombstone itself.
And I was in a low mood at first, and when I saw this painting, I couldn't help but think of my senior brother who died of drowning.
"Death is night, and birth is day, but since the astronomy class said that the sun also appears at night, and the moon also appears during the day, I have been a little confused between day and night." I said, "So I thought that death is a clear line , but one day one of my substitute seniors fell into the water, and I watched him from birth to death, from struggling to breathing, and I felt that the sun will go out when it says it will go out, and death will come when it is said."
Jiang Qi reached out and touched my head: "Did that death hurt you?"
I said: "Anyone's death will hurt relatives and friends, and anyone who sees the god of death wielding a knife will feel pity for his own future fate."
Jiang Qi said: "So, I think it may be the best choice for a person to die quietly, why add fear and grief."
I said, "Wouldn't there be some loneliness, some loneliness?"
Jiang Qi nodded: "There is no way to avoid that, Mu Xia, do you feel lonely?"
I shook my head: "I don't know. After all, I only know when this incident comes. Only the mood at that time is probably the real mood."
Jiang Qi smiled: "You are really real."
"Well," I lowered my head and thought for a while, "Maybe there will be a few last wishes, or they may simply be fulfilled within a limited time, such as eating all the delicacies that everyone likes, seeing all the scenery, and finding someone to fall in love with... Well, The last one is not to harm others."
"For me, let's reduce some things that make me regret. For example, find my sister."
I smiled wryly: "You are starting to prepare for your old age at this time."
Jiang Qi said: "However, being able to find Yilan is the happiest thing for me recently."
I asked, "Have you never thought of looking for her before?"
Jiang Qi said: "Looking for it, but it's not that easy. It's quite difficult to restore the broken sisterhood."
"No way, although Jiang Yilan is stubborn, she's not that stubborn. I think it's easy for her to think about the other party, but her mouth is a little clumsy."
And sometimes just because I think too much about others, I make others and myself struggle...
Jiang Qi shook his head: "If you think she is easy to compromise, it's because the other party is you. I actually found her two years ago, but she told the private detective that she didn't want to see my sister and moved. "
"Uh……"
"And even if the situation has improved this year, when you come out to meet me, you are always wrapped tightly, saying that because you have not gone out like this a few times, you are recognized as me, and I feel very annoying. It is really sad to hear that. .”
Being slapped in the face, I touched my nose in embarrassment: "You are not such a glass-hearted person."
"I haven't said anything too close to me until now, and I look serious every day. It turns out that it's so easy to pinch."
"sweat……"
"I once wondered if she had a lover, but she said no, but sometimes when I saw her in a daze, I felt like there was someone in my heart...was it you."
My heart trembled: "Sister, don't make random guesses."
Jiang Qi said, "Then you have to produce evidence."
I thought for a while: "Lanlan, we talked about one in college, but they split up after a while, and then they never disappeared. I think it's him, no, it's him..."
Jiang Qi suddenly asked very seriously: "The one you are talking about can't be you!"
I was silent for a moment: "It's a man, my boyfriend."
Jiang Qi had a shocked expression on his face: "Didn't you know each other in college? How did you let others get ahead?! What did you do then!"
I smiled wryly: "It's none of my business. Hey, can you stop talking about such a difficult topic and see what we talked about—death and love. However, I would rather talk about death than love."
"...Well, that's it..." She looked as if she already understood, "Then my sister will be entrusted to you."
I said contemptuously, "Don't act like you're saying your last words."
"What's the answer? According to the general development, you shouldn't be patting your chest and saying——I never thought of leaving her behind."
"..."
I can't vouch for it because I've been away.Some things are not better said, I already know.
"Has Yilan ever hurt you?" Jiang Qi is really smart and powerful.
I sighed: "Sister, please let me go."
"Actually, I have a lot of time to listen to the whole story."
"I don't mean to talk about it," I said, "You have no morals, you have forgotten that your sister is still attending the reception instead of you."
She said: "Of course I remember, but I accidentally met this painting and you, which made my stay here longer."
I said: "There are so many things that can hold you back, unfortunately I am one of them."
She smiled: "The whole world is, but let's go, the time for those who should go has come, and there is no time for nostalgia."
The author has something to say:
I almost thought I couldn't post it today, hehe, it's okay!
We chatted one after another, and while chatting, I suddenly realized that in the chat after I met her by chance, we didn't mention tonight's audition a word
