time becomes poetry

Chapter 20Cloudy

Ruoqi has lost contact with Lihua for a week.

She didn't know where he went, let alone when he would come back, or if he would come back.

During this period of time, the news that Wang Rui'en and Li Xiangli's grandson met covered the entire media.

Wang Ruien has been pushed to the cusp of public opinion once again since the Academy Awards.

Li Xiangli's condition gradually improved, but he still had to undergo surgery and had to rest for a long time.

Wang Ruien took over the filming of the film "A Generation of Song Queen Zhong Xiang" left by him.

Ruoqi received a notice from the company to let her return to the set and continue the unfinished work.

The two haven't seen each other since they separated from Wang Ruien in the hospital last time.

In fact, Ruoqi has a grudge about cooperating with Wang Ruien again, after all, the conflict between her and Li Hua was caused by him.

But with the contract in hand, she couldn't avoid it.

When Ruoqi arrived on the set, Wang Ruien's spirit was much better than before. He was very happy to see Ruoqi.

Wang Rui'en: "Ruoqi, I didn't thank you properly before."

Ruoqi: "Don't be so polite, you would do the same thing for me. How is Director Li's condition?"

Wang Ruien: "It has improved a lot, and the operation is about to take place. The doctor is very optimistic."

Ruoqi smiled: "That's good."

Wang Rui'en: "By the way, I just took over this movie and found that some parts of the script are not very perfect. For example, Zhong Xiang's life after quitting the art world is missing."

Ruoqi: "Director Li also talked to me about this issue. He said that he hoped to find Zhong Xiang himself, but there are so many people..."

Wang Ruien: "Actually, there are no clues about this matter. It is said that someone saw her go to a folk song restaurant. She likes to listen to nostalgic songs."

Ruoqi: "Folk song restaurant? Uncle Mo's?"

Wang Ruien nodded: "Actually, I should do this job, but I have too little time recently. If you have time, can you..."

Ruoqi: "I see, if I have time, I will try my luck."

Wang Ruien: "Then I will trouble you."

Although there were a lot of gaps during this period, Ruoqi was well prepared, and her one-day scene passed smoothly.

Ruoqi wanted to go home, but it was still early, and Li Xiang was filming in the studio next door, so Ruoqi went to visit the set.

When Ruoqi arrived, Lixiang was reading a newspaper.

When he saw Ruoqi, he hurriedly hid the newspaper.

Ruoqi sensed his strangeness: "What are you hiding?"

Lixiang pretended to be calm: "Nothing."

Ruoqi ran behind Lixiang, and Lixiang turned around to avoid her: "It's really nothing, it's just gossip, it's useless to watch more."

Ruoqi: "Then you still watch."

Lixiang: "I'm resting, entertaining and entertaining."

Ruoqi sat down: "Have you proposed to Ruoyun?"

Lixiang: "Hush, keep your voice down. Not yet."

Ruoqi: "What's the matter?"

Lixiang: "She has been staying with her mother in the hospital recently. She is in a very bad condition. I think we will wait and see."

Ruoqi: "Alright, what kind of scene do you want to propose? Shall I ask Tong Jingyang to help you plan it."

Lixiang waved his hand: "Ruoyun is a relatively ordinary person, so I'll do it myself, and I will find you if I need help."

Ruoqi: "Hey, it's boring, I wanted to watch from the sidelines."

At this moment, Gu Qianjing walked up to Lixiang and saw Ruoqi.

Because the last meeting at the party was not very pleasant, Ruoqi just nodded politely at her.

Gu Qianjing sat next to Ruoqi, and said slowly, "How is your recovery?"

Ruoqi was puzzled: "Restore what?"

Lixiang got up and grabbed Gu Qianjing's arm, trying to take her away.But unable to stop it in time, Gu Qianjing still said: "Break up with Li Hua."

Ruoqi was taken aback: "We didn't break up."

Gu Qianjing smiled: "Did Li Hua tell you this? Little sister, you are still too naive. When you heard this sentence, you should know that he has dumped you."

Ruoqi: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Qianjing took out a newspaper and threw it to Ruoqi, and Ruoqi recognized that it was the one hidden by Lixiang.

She turned the newspaper to the front page, and saw the headline "Li Hua's Mysterious Girlfriend? The secret dating process of the two on the island is fully exposed!".

The person in the photo is undoubtedly Li Hua, her mind went blank, she didn't read any of the remaining words,

She raised her head in a daze and looked at Li Xiang, who was staring at Gu Qianjing with his hand resting on his forehead.

Lixiang: "It's over, let Ruoqi calm down."

Gu Qianjing shrugged, turned and left.

Lixiang patted Ruoqi on the shoulder: "You also know that the gossip reporter's news may not be true, you'd better wait for Li Hua's explanation..."

Ruoqi acted as if she didn't hear anything: "He said he just wanted to calm down and asked me to wait for him to come back. He said we would not break up."

She raised her head and looked at Li Xiang: "I don't believe that Li Hua is such a person, he would not treat me like this. Or, he treats every girl so well, and then finds an unreasonable reason to dump her. Open, move to the next target. Is that right, Lixiang?"

Lixiang looked at her and felt very distressed: "Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily true, you'd better wait for him to come back..."

Ruoqi: "Wait until he comes back, listen to his explanation, and give him more chances to deceive me?"

Lixiang: "That depends on whether his explanation is reasonable, and whether you are willing to believe him."

Ruoqi's eyes were blank for a while, and she stood up to leave.

Lixiang grabbed her: "Don't be impulsive, don't do things that you regret, wait until I finish work, I will accompany you today."

Ruoqi: "I want to be alone for a while."

Lixiang: "I'm not worried that you will think wildly by yourself."

He half-jokingly said: "Besides, if you have any accidents, the police will question the manager first."

Ruoqi looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll wait until you finish your work."

In the evening, Lixiang took Ruoqi to the folk song restaurant.

Ruoqi stepped into the gate, even though she hadn't been here for a long time, she still felt like home.

The warm halo in the restaurant, the upside-down goblets at the bar, and the bluesy music gave Ruoqi the urge to sing.

She walked to the stage and picked up the long-lost microphone.

This stage has no brilliant lights, no glow sticks waving, but she can sing until she sheds tears.

She still remembers that when she sang there before, she couldn't sing sad love songs well.

Uncle Mo said it was because she didn't have a story, so naturally she couldn't sing that feeling from the bottom of her heart.

But now she can finally empathize with every word.

At the end of the few songs, Ruoqi got off the stage and sat back to her previous position.

Li Xiang went to the bar to get her a drink.

At this time, a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam sat next to Ruoqi.

She introduced herself as Ruoqi's fan.

Fan: "Miss Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you have any other work recently?"

Ruoqi: "Yes, I'm making a movie now."

Fan: "What movie."

Ruoqi: "Zhong Xiang, the queen of a generation of singers."

The fans were slightly taken aback: "Really, how is the progress?"

Ruoqi: "Actually, I have encountered a bottleneck, because she has left the showbiz for 20 years, and I don't know her future life, and the director doesn't want to make up, so...it's a bit troublesome."

The fans smiled slightly: "Actually, I am Zhong Xiang's friend."

Ruoqi's eyes widened: "Really?"

The fans nodded.

Ruoqi: "Aunt Zhong Xiang, how are you doing now?"

Fan: "She... fell in love with a man, left showbiz for him, and got married."

Ruoqi: "In such a hurry... Then will she be happy after marriage?"

The fan shook her head, her eyes were melancholy: "She was cheated by her husband, and her family was broken..."

Ruoqi looked at her for a long time: "You...are Aunt Zhong Xiang."

She smiled: "You still saw it."

Ruoqi: "Auntie, are you okay now?"

Zhong Xiang: "The unhappy things have passed for many years, and I am very calm now. But I think you are the one who is worried."

Ruoqi: "Me?"

Zhong Xiang: "Well, I can still hear emotions from your songs. It must be a relationship problem."

Ruoqi nodded.

Zhong Xiang: "A young relationship is the purest and most beautiful."

Ruoqi smiled wryly: "It's not all like this. I'm still thinking today whether it would be better if nothing happened."

Zhong Xiang: "When and who you fall in love with is not something you can decide. All you can do is pray that he is the right person."

Ruoqi: "How do I know if he is the right person?"

Zhong Xiang smiled: "Until the end, we will never know."

Ruoqi stopped talking.

Zhong Xiang stood up: "I'm leaving, I wish you good luck, and see you soon."

Ruoqi said goodbye to her and fell into deep thought.
