secret movie

The midsummer wind outside the car window was still noisy, blowing away Duan Shu's voice in an instant.

More fragmented memories flooded into my mind.

He finally understands that the current relationship between Qi Yan and Zhuang Yue is just a projection of his relationship with Lu Mingye in reality. Although the industries and details are different, they have also gone from fighting side by side to falling apart.

Just as Zhuang Yue was blinded by his inner jealousy, Lu Mingye was seduced by more and more grand success, and began to pursue flashy fame and fortune, forgetting the belief when he set out with Duan Shu in the first place.

For Duan Shu, he used to have no self and no dreams, so Lu Mingye, who was the first one to promise him the future in high spirits, almost became the pillar of his life. He became an actor just to fulfill Lu Mingye's dream. Because in this way, my life seems to be no longer mediocre, as if it has real value and meaning.

And before Lu Mingye changed, their relationship had always been very good. Duan Shu's interpersonal communication was weak, and the focus of his life and career was completely revolving around Lu Mingye.

If he had met Qi Yan at that time... Duan Shu could almost imagine the ending.

He will regard Lu Mingye who has known him for several years as very important, and this must be something that Qi Yan cannot bear.

In the story, he only appeared after Qi Yan and Zhuang Yue broke up. Even so, he would still be worried about Zhuang Yue's existence, let alone when the two relationships coexisted.

The relationship between Duan Shu and Lu Mingye is just a pure friendship, but he unilaterally put many unspeakable sustenances in it, but unfortunately these sustenances were finally shattered, he thought that Lu Mingye would not change, but the other party changed, so he life becomes empty.

The forgotten Qi Yan was obviously classified by Duan Shu as something he didn't dare to look forward to, but it wasn't until this moment that he realized that Qi Yan's patience and persistence were beyond anyone's imagination.

If the person he meets first is Qi Yan.

However, the world is full of mistakes.

The figure making desserts in the kitchen, the voice commenting harshly on the movie in the hotel breakfast room, the man whispering in his ear on the set...they gradually became clear and eventually overlapped with Qi Yan's appearance.

They met because of director Lin's film, and then he starred in the script written by Qi Yan.

In the surging memory, Duan Shu found the screenwriter's name, not Qi Yan, but Xia Xun, which was a nice pseudonym.

He never knew Xia Xun's real name, so he had no memory of the name Qi Yan, and it was not found in his notes.

In Double Indemnity, until the end of the story, he only knew that one of Qi Wenxiao's followers was called Lin Zi, but he didn't know his full name.

Because Duan Shu didn't approach him, nor did he ask.

All the clues have already been written, just waiting for him to string them together bit by bit.

And why didn't he ask Xia Xun?

Is it because he felt like everyone else he met in his life, the two of them would gradually drift away after the filming ended, or was it because he had realized at that time that his pale and weak self could not repay equal love, so he retreated cowardly ?

Duan Shu didn't know.

Those distant memories came flooding in like ocean waves, and he tried hard to pick up the shells scattered on the beach, and the overloaded thoughts made him dizzy.

A stray wild dog came running on the deserted road ahead, Qi Yan recovered from his seemingly endless words, and said hurriedly, "Stop the brakes!"

Before the Zeus system forced him to leave for a rest, Duan Shu forced himself to regain his composure, and stopped the car before hitting the stray dog.

In the sharp noise of the sudden brake, accompanied by strong inertia, his body leaned forward uncontrollably. Fortunately, he was stopped by the seat belt, but his forehead still inevitably hit the front fender.

Duan Shu heaved a sigh of relief when he braked in time. He didn't feel any pain, but he felt a little dizzy, his thoughts were confused, and even the anxious voices of the people around him became distant.

"Are you hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Duan Shu shook his head, his consciousness began to blur, but it was not because of injury.

He didn't want to leave, and his mental fluctuations were controlled again, not reaching the limit where he had to quit, so the system had to force him to enter a rest state in the story, just like every time he went back to his room to sleep, it was not as good as real sleep , but can be detached from the current situation.

When he woke up, he wished he could recall more memories.

"Don't let him know."

Before his consciousness fell into darkness, Duan Shu told Qi Yan who was unbuttoning his seat belt beside him.

The figure who was very close reacted for a while, and warm breath swayed in his ears: "Okay."

So he fell asleep in peace.

When Duan Shu woke up again, he was already in the hospital ward.

He looked out the window, but didn't see the familiar club.

Not the hospital where Wen Youlan worked.

It seemed that Qi Yan understood what he meant.

Although Duan Shu had promised Wen Youlan that he would not hide anything from him, whether it was the mood swings caused by Zhuang Yue in the past few days, or this small accident that seemed close to a car accident in the eyes of outsiders, it was difficult for him to treat Wen Youlan mention.

That must not be what Wen Youlan wanted to hear.

The door was gently pushed open, Qi Yan walked in just at this moment, holding a bunch of receipts in his hand, seeing that he had woken up, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The doctor said it was a mild concussion, and there's nothing serious about it." Qi Yan put down the order and poured him a glass of water, "I helped you go through the hospitalization procedures, observe for two days, and leave the hospital after you're completely fine. Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"It's not uncomfortable, it's like sleeping."

His emotions have calmed down, but it's a pity that he didn't think of more past events. Those trivial fragments were collected in his mind, with many gaps scattered in the middle, and the dusty memories have not been fully unlocked.

Duan Shu took the transparent glass water glass from Qi Yan and listened to his patient whispers: "I asked the club for leave, saying that we would go out temporarily and come back in two days. Even they don't know, your brother You probably won't know that you are in the hospital now, you can think of a reason to cover up the past."

"I'll be here with you these two days, if you have anything you can tell me anytime."

After Qi Yan finished speaking, the air between the two became silent.

Although these aftermaths were meticulous and appropriate, it did not need to appear in the first place.

A few seconds later, Qi Yan said calmly: "Zhuang Yue will not appear in the club again."

"Everything will be the same as before, don't worry about any changes."

He apparently attributed the accident to himself.

Before Duan Shu could speak, Qi Yan abruptly changed the subject: "The hospital has sick meal, let me know when you want it."

He has already decided to take responsibility for the accident, decided to stay away from his former partner completely, and decided to reconstruct reality in the story, so he will not change his mind.

He was the most stubborn person Duan Shu had ever met.

Also the most mysterious.

So Duan Shu didn't bother him about this issue anymore, he thought about it, and whispered: "I want to eat dessert."

Qi Yan was a little surprised by his sudden change of thought: "You should eat light——"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly.

Of course Qi Yan knows the rules that patients should abide by, light diet, less oil and less sugar...

But he saw that Duan Shu was staring at him intently, his clear eyes contained only himself who was close at hand.

That's just a small request.

It was hard for him to say no.

"What dessert would you like?"

"Tiramisu."

"Okay, I'll buy it."

In the dusk that came quietly outside the window, there was no huge shadowy building, and there was no need to hide from anyone's sight. Duan Shu liked this time alone.

No brother, no club, no competition, just them.

After a while, Qi Yan came back with a light sick meal and tiramisu that was not light enough.

When Duan Shu opened the snack box, the rich creamy aroma wafted out, and he reflexively backed away.

Duan Shu noticed his dodge and asked curiously, "Don't you like this smell?"

"Too sweet." Qi Yan replied truthfully, "I don't like sweets."

Duan Shu was stunned for a moment, his heart trembled slightly when he thought of Qi Yan who knew how to make desserts and made them very well.

"So... have you never eaten sweets before?"

Qi Yan didn't notice his complicated emotions, nor did he realize the other meaning of "before", so he nodded and said, "Well, I almost don't eat."

This younger Qi Yan must never have imagined that his later self would be able to make many beautiful and delicate desserts.

As the night falls, the brightly lit windows and the stars shine together.

In order to prevent Duan Shu from being bored living here alone, Qi Yanyan didn't go home until he was about to go to bed.

After dinner, Duan Shu thought for a while, and offered to propose, "Do you want to watch a movie?"

This is a good way to pass the time, Qi Yan did not refuse, he turned on the TV in the ward, ready to tune to the TV channel.

"What genre do you want to see?"

Duan Shu already had a vague expectation in his heart: "Watch a lighter comedy."

Qi Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so he switched to the comedy category according to his words. As a result, the originally dizzying list of movies seemed to have some kind of program error, and all the movies became the same one, with the same cover and name. "Running All the Way".

When Duan Shu saw the name, a smile appeared in his eyes.

The menu is just decoration, anyway, only lattes are served.

Qi Yan was surprised: "Is there something wrong with the TV?"

Duan Shu looked at the "culprit" who didn't know about it, and said lightly, "Just watch this one."

Director Lin, whom Duan Shu met in the breakfast room of the hotel, was not recognized by Duan Shu because he shaved off his beard. At that time, he and the man sitting across from him had a heated argument about this film.

This movie, which looks terrible just by its name, was the breakthrough of director Lin's bold transformation at that time, but it attracted merciless criticism from his colleagues around him.

Qi Yan frowned slightly when he heard his decision, he didn't think this movie would be good.

But seeing Duan Shu's excited look, he had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say and hit the play button.

Duan Shu turned a blind eye to this, and pretended to watch this movie seriously, which he had already seen in the real world.

It's just that during the movie watching process, he would secretly look away from time to time to observe Qi Yan's expression.

This is a very popular road comedy in the early years. The protagonists have to embark on a journey for some reasons, chasing true love or enemies, and as a result, one after another hilarious trivia happened in the process.

When the main character, whose work was in a mess, tried to commit suicide with a bitter face at the beginning, but failed, Qi Yan was expressionless.

Qi Yan frowned when the bad friend who was full of vulgar jokes came to the protagonist and clamored to find true love.

After the two stumbled on the road and were forced to bond with the punk beauty they met along the way, Qi Yan began to lose his mind completely.

After he was distracted, he noticed Duan Shu's gaze, and he looked away from the TV screen with relief, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The smile on Duan Shu's face became stronger and stronger: "It's nothing."

Qi Yan really seemed to hate this movie, no wonder he made a long series of outspoken and harsh comments to the director who made it that day.

"...Forcing the audience to be happy, if you like this effect, why not just add mechanical canned laughter like an old-fashioned melodrama, as happy as you want, don't embarrass the poor fidgeting audience in the theater .”

Poor viewers fidgeting.

Duan Shu noticed that the poor audience seemed to be staring at the vase next to the TV in a daze, maybe thinking why people around him could laugh at such a bad movie.

A strange, tender emotion swept over his heart.

Although many memories are still unclear, based on the memory of the hotel restaurant, he must have never seen the real Qi Yan when he watched the film for the first time.

But now, this first time is miraculously reappearing.

Start over.

Duan Shu remembered that he said to Director Lin that day: "When I heard your companion's evaluation of it, it was the only time I laughed because of this movie."

But today, the memory was rewritten.

Duan Shu was always smiling when watching this movie that wasn't funny at all.

Not because of that comment anymore, but because of that companion.

The lights in the ward were deliberately dimmed, only the light from the TV screen flickered on their faces.

Under the frequent gazes of the people around him, Qi Yan finally realized dully that Duan Shu didn't seem to be concentrating on watching the movie either.

The noisy excitement on the screen continued, but there was silence between them.

Occasionally, the line of sight intersects, the light in the eyes floats vaguely, everything converges in silence, and the landing point is the pounding heartbeat.

After a while, Qi Yan broke the silence with a low voice. The night was dim, and his voice sounded much softer.

"Is today's tiramisu delicious?"

There still seemed to be that bitter sweetness in the air.

"It's delicious." Duan Shu regretted, "You should try it too, it's a very special taste."

Although it is not as delicious as Qi Yan made it himself.

"A long time ago, I seem to have tasted it once." Qi Yan searched for memories, uncertain, "My cousin bought it. At that time, she was learning Italian. In the first class, the teacher taught this word."

"She said the meaning of the word was very romantic, and told me a long love story, and then tricked me into taking a bite."

"I remember it tasted very sweet, but also very bitter." Qi Yan opened up his memory a little bit, and said with emotion, "I don't like this taste, but it does fit those meanings."

The TV screen with changing light and shadow has become the background sound, Duan Shu held his breath subconsciously, waiting for another mystery to be revealed.

"What is it?"

"Take me away," he said, "and remember me."

The author has something to say:

I have grown thick! (pride
