time becomes poetry

Chapter 2Opportunities

In the first week when Lixiang took over as Ruoqi's agent, he helped her get an audition for the heroine of the movie "The New Yorker".

"The New Yorker" is a major movie produced by Joya Films Li Enguang this year, starring the superstar Li Hua.

This is Li Hua's transformation work. Li Hua's image is more feminine, but here he will play a tough guy.

Originally, the heroine was supposed to be a newcomer, but after filming started, it was discovered that her temperament was too rigid, and standing beside Li Hua was not right enough.

Therefore, the crew temporarily changed roles and fell into trouble.

After Lixiang learned of the situation, he recommended Ruoqi to Director Li Enguang.

In Lixiang's words, Ruoqi "behind a gentle appearance but a strong heart", is the best choice for a heroine.Director Li Enguang agrees to let Ruoqi audition.

Ruoqi was notified to go to Lixiang's home to get the script materials, but Lixiang left temporarily.

Lixiang is obviously not suitable for single life, and his home is messy.

Although Ruoqi didn't have tidying addiction, she still couldn't bear it, so she tidied up the room for him.

Leaving Lixiang's house, she was going to drink a cup of coffee to refresh herself, and then go home to prepare for the afternoon audition.So she turned to a nearby coffee shop.

It was a weekend, and the cafe was full, so Ruoqi had no choice but to buy a cup of coffee to take away.

She turned around grabbing her coffee, and was caught off guard, bumping into someone waiting behind her.

At this moment, she slipped her hand and poured a cup of boiling coffee all over the man.

Ruoqi hurriedly apologized, and wiped him with a tissue.

The man said slowly, "Fang Ruoqi? No need to apologize, I'm fine."

Ruoqi froze for a moment, then raised her head.

Although the man was wearing sunglasses, he could be identified from the two iconic earrings on his left ear.

He took off his sunglasses and smiled at Ruoqi, it was indeed Li Hua.

Ruoqi didn't know what to say.

Li Hua: "Do you remember me? We met at the Golden Melody Awards."

Ruoqi was a little nervous when talking to Li Hua for the first time: "Well, I remember."

Li Hua smiled: "I'm really pleasantly surprised to see you here, but every surprise comes with a price. It seems that I'm going home to change my clothes."

Ruoqi: "I'm really sorry."

Li Hua: "It's okay, I won't waste your time, I'll go first, see you by fate."

Ruoqi: "Goodbye."

After Li Hua left, Ruoqi took a deep breath of relief.

She immediately called Li Xiang: "Why did Li Hua appear near your house?"

Li Xiang: "Because he lives in this community."

Ruoqi: "What?"

Lixiang: "That's right, there are many artists in this community, as well as Tong Jingyang, Lin Niwen, Yuan Peiqi... What? Have you met him?"

Ruoqi: "Well, it's in the coffee shop."

Lixiang: "Have you talked?"

Ruoqi: "Well, what's the matter?"

Li Xiang: "Because he is the one who chooses the heroine, so it's not a bad thing for him to have a little impression of you in the selection team this afternoon."

Ruoqi: "I accidentally knocked over the coffee and spilled it all over him."

Lixiang was silent for a while: "Then you can only pray that he likes your coffee very, very much, haha."

Ruoqi: "Stop joking."

Lixiang: "Let's get down to business, he's not angry, is he?"

Ruoqi: "To be honest, I can't tell. His expression..."

Lixiang: "I understand the face of a gentleman for thousands of years. Don't be nervous, he won't be so petty and angry at a girl, you go home and prepare, time is running out."

Ruoqi: "Okay, I have news to inform you. Bye."

In the afternoon, Ruoqi arrived at the selection site on time.

She found that it was not only herself who came to audition, but also many familiar faces from movies and TV shows.

It seems that this role is still very popular, Ruoqi can't help but get nervous.

At this time, the staff called her name, and Ruoqi was very disturbed.

Sure enough, as Li Xiang said, besides director Li Enguang, there was also Li Hua in the selection team.

Ruoqi went straight in without looking directly at him.

She performed her part as required, but Li Hua stopped suddenly.

Li Hua: "Fang Ruoqi, can I ask you a few questions?"

Ruoqi: "Of course."

Li Hua: "Have you ever acted before?"

Ruoqi: "No, I'm still a rookie in this area."

Li Hua: "Why did you choose acting?"

Ruoqi looked into Li Hua's eyes, paused, and asked, "Why not?"

Li Hua smiled, and said to Director Li Enguang, "It's her."

Li Enguang: "Stop looking at others?"

Li Hua: "No, it's her."

Li Enguang nodded, and came forward to shake hands with Ruoqi: "Miss Fang, it's a pleasant cooperation. I'll go and get the contract. After the negotiation is completed, we can start working tomorrow."

Li Enguang left the room, only Ruoqi and Li Hua were left.

Li Hua: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ruoqi: "You want me to say, thank you?"

Li Hua smiled.

Ruoqi: "Why did you choose me? Among so many people, I am definitely not the most powerful one."

Li Hua: "When the door of the film industry you have longed for is finally opened to you, you rush in without asking why."

Ruoqi looked at Li Hua: "It seems that I still want to say thank you."

Li Hua stretched out his hand: "It's a happy cooperation, Fang Ruoqi."

Ruoqi smiled and held his hand: "It's a happy cooperation."

In the evening, Lixiang, Mo Wei and a few friends celebrated Ruoqi at the folk song restaurant.

A group of people were chatting with great interest when Wen Ningshan suddenly appeared in the restaurant.

Her dark almond-colored curly hair was very soft in the light, and she stood awkwardly in the doorway, looking around.

Ruoqi saw her and touched Lixiang.

When Li Xiang saw Wen Ningshan, he immediately sat up and wanted to walk over.

Ruoqi grabbed Lixiang's arm and shook her head.

Lixiang looked at Ruoqi: "She should be looking for me."

Ruoqi: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Lixiang: "I can do it myself."

Lixiang walked up to Wen Ningshan.

Lixiang: "Why are you here?"

Wen Ningshan: "Awei said that I should be able to find you here, why didn't you answer my call?"

Li Xiang: "Because you are getting married soon."

Wen Ningshan raised her head and looked at Lixiang: "I went to Boss Qian's office a few days ago, and he said that you left YOGO Records, is it because of me?"

Lixiang: "It's not all, I mainly think about it from the perspective of career. Don't think too much."

Wen Ningshan: "Then I won't be able to see you again?"

Lixiang: "I'm afraid so. Did you come here to ask me this?"

Wen Ningshan: "No, I didn't realize until you left that I never apologized to you. I'm sorry, Li Xiang, for everything that happened, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

As she spoke, tears kept flowing: "Forgive me for my willfulness, my selfishness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Li Xiang stepped forward and hugged her gently: "Fool, how could I blame you."

After seeing Wen Ningshan off, Lixiang sat back next to Ruoqi.

Ruoqi: "How are you, are you okay?"

Li Xiang sighed: "Maybe I'm just waiting for her to say sorry."

Ruoqi: "Looks like you've waited, did you relax a bit?"

Lixiang: "When I hugged her just now, there was no attachment or nostalgia. I just felt that everything that happened between us was just a ridiculous mistake. She always belonged to another person. She was his first love, his bride. And I'm just passing by. I think I can finally accept that we're apart."

Ruoqi raised her glass: "Congratulations then. Tomorrow, a new beginning."

Lixiang clinked glasses with Ruoqi: "Tomorrow."

Tomorrow is a brand new day.Lixiang thought about this sentence and returned to his home.

He turned on the light in the bedroom and found that the previous chaos had been replaced by order, and only his own things were left in the room.

Wen Ningshan's cat slippers, soft pajamas, coffee mug with rabbit ears, Hello Kitty's key chain, and Winnie the Pooh's toiletries are all gone.

He knew Ruoqi cleaned everything up for him before he went home.

He lay back on his bed and sucked on the pillow—it was his smell, his shampoo that was no longer mixed with Wen Ningshan's orange scent.

He closed his eyes, thinking, tomorrow is a brand new day, and fell asleep peacefully.
