One by one

After Yu Yi came out of the darkroom, he quickly went to the living room to pick up his clothes and put them on, and then he checked his hair in the mirror.

After finishing all this, he went to the balcony and took out the lighter and cigarette case.

Now compared to when he just woke up, it has not been too long, the two of them have been in the darkroom for no more than half an hour, but Yu Yi feels that the light outside has changed subtly.

At the beginning, Qi Shengying said that he liked this studio very much, because among the many buildings in this city, the room on this floor is clean, bright, and because the floor is high, it is not subject to the shadow of any tall buildings, and it faces the sun from noon to evening. It is a very suitable place for taking portraits in natural light.Even if you are tired, looking at the peripheral vision of the city on the balcony, your mood will be washed away and become clear and bright.

Yu Yi took a cigarette in his mouth, rubbed his lips with his knuckles habitually, and stared silently for a while.

After a while, he lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and leaned against the balcony with his cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes in the wind, feeling very comfortable.

After a while, he finally remembered Qi Shengying, took out his cell phone and checked, there were three or four missed calls.It seemed that after giving up on waking Yu Yi up, Qi Shengying still sent a text message, telling him that a friend named Luo Lian would come to develop the film in the afternoon, and asked him to pay attention to his image, blah blah blah.

Yu Yi smiled and scolded his mother, thinking that there was no use in telling me in the text message, and he should have told him before he fell asleep.Either way, the image is completely corrupted now, but fortunately, it is only corrupted in the darkroom, so it doesn't matter much.

He didn't call Qi Shengying back. He looked at another missed call, hesitated with his fingers on the screen, and called back.

The phone was quickly picked up, and the voice of the person on the other end was gentle: "Yu Yi?"

"It's me, what's the matter?" Yu Yi asked casually, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"I heard that you went to Qi Shengying's side. I kept saying to apologize to him last time, but I didn't have time."

So it was because of this, Yu Yi smiled.Xin said that you made a move against Qi Shengying last time, and regretted it afterwards. When it was time to pretend to be a grandson, you didn't want to, and instead let him be the peacemaker.He himself didn't care, anyway, he was used again and again by this person, it was just Qi Shengying's relationship with him, so he couldn't let him say this for that person.

"Qi Shengying has left and is on vacation. If you need anything, you can find him yourself. That's it, hang up." Yu Yi was about to hang up the phone.

The people over there stopped him eagerly at this moment: "Are you still angry with me?"

"Why are you angry? There is something wrong between us. It's embarrassing to tell others that I'm ashamed. Why bother with yourself?"

The person over there didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it, how to persuade Yu Yi to be the peacemaker for him.

Yu Yi simply made it clear: "Song Qi, the relationship between the two of us is settled, I hope you don't get involved in any other matters between us. After all, it took us a long time to settle this debt."

This time it seemed that even breathing was quiet.

"I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." Yu Yi said slowly, "Whether your matter is related to me or not, don't have anything to do with me again."

He hung up the phone almost at the last word, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe.

Going back to the door of the darkroom, the door closed again.Quiet, without any movement.If he didn't know that Luo Lian was inside, he would almost think it was an empty room.

"I came in?" Yu Yi asked.

"Don't." Luo Lian's voice came out vaguely from inside, "It's still being processed."

"Don't you need to come out? You've been inside for so long."

"It's ok."

"Oh." Yu Yi looked down at his toes, took two steps back and forth, and said, "I'm leaving, why don't you see me off?"

There was silence for a while, and said: "I can't deliver it, let's go first."

Yu Yi groaned again, looking a little depressed with his head down.He stood at the door for a while, and for some reason, the irritability that just finished answering the phone has been entangled with him, and he could not be dispelled for a long time.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye." He heard Luo Lian say.

"Will I see you again?"

"Come and pick up the film next time when you have time." Luo Lian answered casually inside.

This time Yu Yi didn't say anything else, he picked up the coat hanging on the sofa, lightly flicked it on his shoulder, put on his shoes in the hallway, and left.

With his coat hooked on his left shoulder, he walked alone on the street for a while, looked up at the reddish sunset, suddenly hummed a little tune like a nursery rhyme, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Three days later, at two o'clock in the morning, Yu Yi woke up from his sleep, and at the same time, he saw the screen of his mobile phone slowly dimming.Someone texted him.

Yu Yi swiped open the phone, the text message was from Qi Shengying.Others are on vacation in Bali, and they are still good at listening to all directions.

What he sent to Yu Yi was a chat record, the profile picture and name were blurred, so it looked like it was sent to him by someone else.Qi Shengying would not disturb Yu Yi with the usual gossip about the key, especially at two o'clock in the morning.

But this text message is about Yu Yi.

"Do you want to bring the little fish back?"

"Impossible, regardless of whether Yu Yi accepts it or not, neither the outside world nor the sponsors may accept it."

"But it's been so long..."

"Xiaoyu really has no choice. Don't touch his thoughts until the end."

Yu Yi put down his phone and sneered softly.

Qi Shengying didn't say anything, but just sent this screenshot, obviously everything was in plain sight, let Yu Yi see it by himself.

Yu Yi didn't want to think about the past, the memory of being entangled with Song Qi.Ever since that incident happened, he unilaterally cut off all contact with Song Qi and his entertainment circle.I have never received any information about that side.

However, during this period of time, Song Qi first took the initiative to find him, and then Qi Shengying sent a screenshot...

Yu Yi didn't know where this picture got out, but he knew that if anyone in the circle saw it, they would understand that it was nothing more than an internal discussion about whether to ask Yu Yi to come out again.

To Yu Yi, none of this made any sense.If it wasn't for Song Qi back then, as a behind-the-scenes musician, he would have been behind the scenes all his life, and there was absolutely no possibility of making commercial pop songs.

Now that he and Song Qi are completely clean, the other things are naturally ignored.

Yu Yi deleted the text message and lay in bed in a daze.

Slowly, he remembered the man he met in the darkroom that day.

Luo Lian.

By accident, Yu Yi turned on his phone, opened Weibo, and typed his name.

To his disappointment, there was no one he was looking for in the search bar.

So he typed down again, photographer, film, Luo Lian, three keywords permutations and combinations, searched in various ways, but still found nothing.

Yu Yi threw the phone away angrily, and lay motionless in the middle of the double bed in a large font. After a while, he fell asleep again against the pale sky.

After dawn, in the manager's office of an entertainment company, agent Xu Xia and the young manager were sitting.At the back of the room stood two or three artists who had just become popular in recent years.The entertainment and gossip reports on the big TV screen were loud and loud, and those artists were like eggplants beaten by frost, listless.

Xu Xia turned off the TV first, and folded her arms to look around at the people present: "Let's talk about it. As soon as the new song list falls, there are endless scandals on the entertainment page! Do you feel that you are popular and promising?"

The artists bowed their heads and remained silent, obviously afraid of Xu Xia.

As the gold medal agent of this entertainment company, Xu Xia worked in the entertainment industry in her teens and became an agent in her 20s. She has more than ten years of experience.Song Qi is the most successful artist she has come out of, and everyone knows it.

It's just that among her new batch of artists, the performance of this year has continued to decline.

The reason is simple. Song Qi, who was Yu Yi's lover before, took the route of pure singer.Therefore, as the youngsters that Xu Xia regarded as the same type as Song Qi, they were trained in the same way.

But she ignored a very important factor for Song Qi's popularity - Yu Yi.

"I invite you the best composition teachers and analysts to cooperate with you. Is this what you are making now?" Xu Xia threw the prepared playlist on the table in front of several people, "If you can't do well in this issue , just prepare to be given up.”

The young manager who had been silent for a while suddenly moved.If you look carefully, his face is somewhat similar to the popular Song Qi.

"If there's still no good stuff coming out at the end of the month, I'll invite Yu Yi back," he said.

"No." Xu Xia interrupted him almost without thinking, "Yu Yi has been ruined in the entertainment industry. What's more, he is not a person in the entertainment industry."

"I naturally have my own thoughts, do as I say." Song Tianyong leaned back.

Xu Xia took a deep breath, as if she was trying her best to endure her emotions: "Even if you want to invite Xiaoyu back, he is still a tough bone, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to chew on."

"If I remember correctly, the signing agreement between him and our company is not over yet?" Song Tianyong said.

"You mean..."

"Although that incident happened back then, it was announced to the outside world that our company would terminate the contract with Yu Yi. But in the end, it ended in chaos. If both parties have time to terminate the contract, let's forget it, right?"

Xu Xia quickly understood Song Tianyong's meaning, but her attitude hesitated: "But it's really inappropriate to do this..."

"Please put the interests of the company first, Miss Xu." Song Tianyong narrowed his eyes.

"That agreement, if I remember correctly, is limited to the cooperative relationship between Yu Yi and Song Qi..."

"Then let him go back to Song Qi." Song Tianyong threw the pen in his hand on the table, "Given the bad feelings between them, Yu Yi will definitely not choose to go back to Song Qiong at this time. Then he only has one Choice, liquidated damages. But as far as I know, Yu Yi has no money now."

"But the liquidated damages at the beginning, our company just dealt with it in name, and it has long been judged that it will not be pursued..."

"Is there any written evidence?" Song Tianyong asked.

Xu Xia was stunned.

"I'll say it again, please put the interests of the company first." Song Tianyong rubbed his forehead, "I'll leave this matter to you, go ahead and contact him."

Xu Xia wanted to say something, but seeing Song Tianyong's face, she finally said nothing.
