star shift

During the minute of silence, Pei Shan went through countless alternatives in his mind.But these thoughts were finally suppressed by a voice of affirmation. It has grown vigorously for decades. Whenever Pei Shan was disappointed or hesitated, he would jump out to remind him to remember to believe in hope.

Believe in Shi Pei, believe in the market, believe in the audience, and believe in Tang Liyan.

"Mr. Guan, you are a businessman, not a creator. Even the producer can't interfere with the arrangement of the troupe and the theater. As long as the troupe of "Mr. Smiling Face" agrees to advance the schedule, then please feel free." Pei Shan turned his head to one side , shrugged, "Anyway, our themes are very different, so it's not certain what the result will be."

Guan Ligeng sneered and shook his neck, "Okay, why don't you stick your tongue out? Then keep playing. If you really get to the point of selling the copyright at a lower price, don't come back to me crying."

"I don't need to bother you. Anyway, no matter what the result is, Li Yan will go to see it." The anger was evident in his eyes.Pei Shan didn't want to argue anymore, turned around and opened the door.

When I walked out of the coffee shop, the stars and the moon were shining brightly, and the disk hung above my head, illuminating the outside brightly.

Pei Shan suddenly regretted wasting half an hour that he could have spent enjoying the moon with his lover.

The words just now stopped in his mind for a while, like a demon, lingering.Shi Pei needs to be notified of this bad news in advance so that he can discuss a plan.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so Pei Shan could only pick up his mobile phone and call Shi Pei, voluntarily admitting his mistake.

Of course Shi Dao didn't blame him, instead he helped him to scold Guan Ligeng.

"Shanshan, this kind of person, you have to be tough with him!" Shi Pei's voice was louder than usual, "What's wrong with "Mr. It’s bad, we’ll fill up the theater by then! Everyone will be snatched!”

Pei Shan told Shi Pei about the coping strategies he thought of, such as actively staggering the schedule.

"No, the tickets are already open!" Shi Pei resolutely refused, "Let's go as planned, why panic?"

Pei Shan was silent for a while, and finally he could only say sorry.

"Oh, it has nothing to do with you!" Shi Pei laughed at him again and again, "Even if you weren't involved, the troupe would definitely know how to pick soft persimmons. I guess they set their schedule early, so they aimed at our performance time. Woolen cloth!"

Pei Shan had no choice but to accept this explanation, but he still felt sorry, and said angrily, "Okay, we will talk about the details when we meet."

The bus is about to arrive at the station, and it will take a while to get back to the main city by car. By the time I get home, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is probably over.After Pei Shan hung up the phone, he immediately called Tang Liyan, wanting to report why he had been delayed for so long.

There was a beeping sound in the receiver, and Pei Shan heard a familiar ringtone behind him - "It should be good in summer, if you were there", it was recorded by Pei Shan when he was listening to the song, and he set it as theirs despite the police officer's objection. Couple ringtones for two people.

"Liyan?!" Although Pei Shan hadn't seen anyone yet, he was pleasantly surprised to hear the movement, and danced around for a week.

Sure enough, near the station, that cool Harley was parked.His sergeant sat reclined in the car, legs crossed carelessly, the moonlight pouring over his head.At this moment, Pei Shan felt that this was the price of eternity and infatuation, as fresh and unfathomable as Chang Xia.

"Come out?" Tang Liyan walked over with a smile, and buckled his helmet on his curly hair, "Come on, brother Yan will take you for a ride!"

"How did you come?"

"Before seeing you, Guan Ligeng called me and said he was going to clean up the mess for me, but I scolded him away!" Tang Liyan said, "He just came to the theater for a meeting. I was afraid that he would trouble you, so I followed him What did he say to you?"

Pei Shan struggled for a while, and finally decided not to mention this unpleasantness to Tang Liyan, got in the car, and concealed the topic just now, "I also said that I wanted to help you - in fact, you don't need to come, just wait for me at home gone."

"Wouldn't it be a few hours later to see you?" Tang Liyan smiled and twisted the handle, "Mid-Autumn Festival, how can I let you go home alone."

Pei Shan wrapped his arms around his waist with a smile, tapped on his helmet, and reminded him to ride his bike well.

"Let's go--"

"Let's go!"

The two shouted towards the theater behind them, and their voices were scattered into the wind, blowing into the moonlit night sky.

Early the next morning, Pei Shan found Shi Pei and carefully discussed the countermeasures.The two argued from morning to noon, Pei Shan thought it would be safer to change the schedule, but Shi Pei insisted on proceeding with the original plan.

In the end, Pei Shan had no choice but to plan ahead.What if the attendance rate is really unsatisfactory?

Shi Pei didn't seem to have considered this issue, just smiled and lifted his neck, and said: "Before you always advised me not to think too much, the result must be good. Why are you panicking now? This station lost , go to another city to make more money!"

"No, we still have to prepare for the worst. I'm afraid we don't have the funds to go on tour." Pei Shan was exhausted and rubbed his temples tiredly, "If they really withdraw their capital, let's go to the next stop N City. You have at least friends from the Provincial Theater Troupe there, remember to say hello; I will ask Teacher Shen and my friends from the Provincial Writers Association to help write the manuscript. "

The eyes that were radiant just now dimmed, and the normally bright lips also lost their color, "In City N, we will change to an in-house performance. Although the ticket price will be lower this way, at least the audience is probably fixed, anyway. We can get back the cost. Let’s release the remaining tickets at the original price to a few media outlets, and we’ll make a profit. Is this okay?”

Shi Pei's answer should be straightforward.

This method is feasible, but it is necessary to contact all parties in advance, especially the audience of the performance.After all, internal performances are different from public ticket sales, and the number of tickets and ticket prices have to be discussed with various organizations.

Originally, it was Shi Pei who did these things.

However, the day before the departure, someone from Shi Pei's family suddenly came and said they wanted to interview Tang Liyan's social relations.

"Why did you interview me instead of Shanshan?" Shi Pei was confused and asked the visitor, "At that time, he was the one staying in the room with Officer Tang."

The person who came was Ruan Mingzhi.He met Shi Pei once, and was very impressed with this handsome but loud man.

Ruan Mingzhi said: "Boss Pei and Brother Yan have a special relationship, so they are not suitable to be clarification witnesses. Now that Sister Zheng's KTV has been found out, there is no problem. So, you follow her, and that kid Cai Xun, the three of you Let’s go to the Municipal Bureau to talk together. You can answer whatever you ask there.”

Only then did Shi Pei hurriedly follow to the main city.Therefore, the task of negotiating in N City fell on Pei Shantou.

The night before leaving, Pei Shan was worried that Tang Liyan would be bored staying at home, so he specially bought a bunch of movie discs and put them in the TV cabinet.

After all, Tang Liyan was idle, so he helped Pei Shan pack his luggage and folded a pile of clothes from his closet.

Seeing that he piled those things all over the bed, Pei Shan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, why are you stuffing me with so many clothes?"

"Isn't it convenient for you to choose? Dress up better and go meet other men!" Tang Liyan's tone couldn't tell whether it was real jealousy or fake anger, in short, it was ambiguous, "Why don't you change your eyebrows, eyes or something? At that time, when people see that you are good-looking, they will be stupefied and agree--I really don't understand, you are a screenwriter, why do you want to discuss business with others?"

Pei Shan listened to the long list with a suppressed smile.When the vinegar jar said "make eyebrows", he hurriedly took the cosmetics out of the box to show his loyalty.

"No need!" Tang Liyan put those boxes back again, "It makes me look so stingy."

The two were laughing and making noises. This childish activity like playing Tai Chi ended with Pei Shan pulling Tang Liyan over and forcefully applying full make-up to him.

Tang Liyan didn't like these sticky things covering his face, so he threatened Pei Shan to remove them.Of course, the two of them were so close when removing their makeup, so other actions were unavoidable.

The follow-up activities triggered by a cosmetic box lasted for three full hours.Pei Shan originally wanted to go to bed early, but he was tossed into the early morning and lay back on the pillow limply all over.

"My mobile phone has been turned on. Remember to tell me when the investigation results come out." Pei Shanlin's nasal voice was a bit sticky when he fell asleep, which made the person next to the pillow get up again and kissed his hair.

It's just that Pei Shan is too tired to be distracted to kiss back, "Also, I will call you every night."

"Check my post?" Tang Liyan smiled.

"It's for you to check my post."

"You are quite enlightened. When you talk about things, just talk about things. Don't drink."

"understood."

……

Pei Shan went to N City in this way.Tang Liyan was confined at home, bored, and annoyed by waiting for the result, so he had to find more things for himself to do.

In fact, at that point last night, he should have slept.But with the matter of investigation under the pressure in my heart, I always took a deep breath and couldn't fall asleep.

There were some sleeping pills prescribed in Ning Cheng in the cabinet, but he was afraid that he would have to have a physical examination in two days, so he didn't dare to take them, so he could only find something easy to do.Tang Liyan found it boring to watch movies; he couldn't find anything to watch online.In the end Tang Liyan chose the one thing he was most unlikely to do before—reading.

It's not that he really wants to read, but he just wants to find some sleepiness between the lines that he can't understand.

So Tang Liyan set his sights on Pei Shan's big bookcase.To be honest, he really doesn't understand how a young man in his 25s loves to read these "obscure and difficult" books every day.

Tang Liyan chose the thickest one, and he almost couldn't hold it with one hand, and he didn't know how Pei Shan moved these big guys to such a high position.

The bookcase was much taller than Tang Liyan's. Although it had a head advantage, Tang Liyan stood on the chair and pulled out the book for safety's sake.

When he took it in his hand, he realized that the width of this book was actually narrower than normal books, but it was placed parallel to other books in the cabinet.

"Huh? Is there something inside?" Tang Liyan poked his head inside.

His curiosity was aroused, and he took out a few more books, and found that there was indeed a hidden compartment at the back of the book.The police officer's attention was sharper than that of ordinary people, he patted the surrounding wood with his hand, and found the door of the hidden compartment based on the change of voice.

With a click, Tang Liyan took out an exquisite secret from the bookcase.

The rediscovered box, carved in gold, the lacquered wood has faded slightly.

For no reason, Tang Liyan felt flustered, as if he had predicted something, he felt that he could not stand on a high place to open this.This psychological construction has been done for a long time, and he even regrets holding this thing in the palm of his hand.

What will it be about?Is that the person who went to "heaven" but made Pei Shan obsessed with it for many years?

Tang Liyan's hands actually started to shake. He knew that he shouldn't be so vicious, that he shouldn't spy on other people's past after saying that the story "turned over".

Fingernails left shallow marks on the lacquered wood. Tang Liyan took two deep breaths, put the box back on the bookcase, and covered it intact.But the moment he picked up the board, he caught a glimpse of the hasp on the box.

There is a red, five-pointed star-shaped rope tied to it, which looks exactly like Pei Shan's tattoo.

Tattoos...stars...old friends...long summer...

Tang Liyan suddenly felt a headache.The aftermath of last night's insomnia came back very uncomfortable. He felt that he was about to lose his standing, so he could only hold the cabinet and bend down.

Blood rushes to the brain.

He seemed to see some familiar and unfamiliar scenes.They had appeared in his dreams and were quickly forgotten.

This time it was not a dream, but what it was, no one could tell.

He could only hold on to the wooden cabinet tightly, holding on to his strength, and took out the wooden box again.It's instinct.

It was a strange instinct.It was as if, he knew that it was an abyss, and a force was pulling him out, but he was attracted by the darkness, defeated by confusion, dreamed of everything in his previous life again and again, and was washed away by something.

But what can't be washed away is those strange feelings of familiarity, those tacit understandings that seem to be old acquaintances at first sight, that incomparably compatible soul and body... And, he loves him.

His dreams are fleeting, his lover is full of secrets, his past is riddled with holes, and his memory is messed up...

But he seemed to have caught something this time.

After untying the concentric knot and tremblingly opening the carved cover, Tang Liyan burst into tears.

He swore it wasn't his intention.Before Tang Liyan could even see clearly, his vision was blurred by tears.All of this is just an instinctive reaction. Decades of pain, unwillingness, remorse and deep love were all pressed on this heart, and they were all returned to the 23-year-old Tang Liyan in the wind and snow.

He saw it.

He saw the letter written by Zhibai, saw Pei Shan's diary soaked in tears, saw their love and helplessness, saw the pain in the hot years, and there was still hope.

He saw a married couple embracing each other and said that they would go back to their hometown and stay until the next century, waiting for the sky, the rain to stop, and the smoke to clear.

He saw the story behind the last dream.Opposite the young officer, the terrible cage, is his lover, his soul, his unattainable love.

He saw that the officer's face was exactly like his.

Standing under the rising sun, Pei Shan said to him, Zhibai, don't come here without any harm.
