The phone went dark, and the only light in the room also dimmed.
"goodbye."
In silence, Zhong Xu slowly placed the cell phone on the table.
The headache became less and less severe, and as the alcohol consumed me, I felt weaker and weaker.
A voice told him that he could not drink any more.
His mind gradually became confused, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own voice or some other voice.
It doesn't matter.
No longer trusting any voice, he just follows his instinct.
Despite his weakness, he still sat up, leaned forward, and was able to reach for the bottle of wine on the table.
“…”
As he moved, something seemed to be disconnected invisibly.
It's like a taut string. No matter how strong it is, it will break if something on the string tries to break free.
a moment.
The headache went away and the alcohol filled my mind.
Zhong Xu allowed himself to sink.
“…”
In the empty room, the sound of a wine bottle falling on the carpet was heard, and then there was silence.
That night, in a daze, Zhong Xu recalled many things that happened before.
His own, about Song Yunhui.
These things happened a long time ago and were not a big deal. He thought he had forgotten them long ago.
I didn't expect that he remembered every detail clearly.
These things are disorganized, without any chronological order, and are just random images that come to mind as they appear.
He suddenly remembered that he was not the one who played best with Song Yunhui when they were children.
They were originally the best, and the children and adults around them thought so.
But then things changed.
When Song Zishu appeared, the children around him had never seen such a child before and were very surprised. Their parents were also the same and asked them to take better care of this frail child.
Song Yunhui was the child's older brother. At first, he helped them take care of him, but then he unknowingly withdrew from the group of children.
He began to see each other less frequently.
It was not until later that he accidentally saw the other person running towards another unfamiliar yard.
He heard from adults that it was the Qin family's yard, and the children there never played with the people around them.
He saw that Song Yunhui did not go through the main gate, but instead skillfully climbed over a tree and stood at the edge of the fence, then jumped down without hesitation.
Someone caught him.
There was laughter from the yard.
This was the first time he knew that besides him, Song Yunhui had another very good friend.
Hide it like a treasure and don't let anyone know.
Not even him.
Later, he thought about the time when he was in high school and went to Song Yunhui's school to find him.
He found Song Yunhui at the playground.
He waved at him, but he looked in another direction with a sudden smile on his face.
That was the first time he knew what a sense of crisis was.
But later facts proved that passers-by can only be passers-by. Song Yunhui never mentioned his high school friend again, and in the end, he was the one who stood on the other side.
My thoughts were in a mess, and I suddenly thought of the deep male voice I heard from the phone earlier.
"I can take good care of Song Yunhui."
fart.
Zhong Xu thought.
Only he can take good care of Song Yunhui.
***
Maybe because he had been sitting in the car for a long time, Song Yunhui only watched Big Eyes for a while that night. After that, he felt bored and sleepy, so he went to sleep directly.
He had a rare moment of dreaming.
He dreamed of the blue and white school uniform, the small piece of paper leaping through the air, the on-stage lamp in the dark room, and the lines of words on the letter paper under the light.
He should have been able to see the contents of the message at that time.
“…”
The next morning, Song Yunhui sat up in shock with a dickhead on his head, looking dying.
He stared at a corner of the void with his lifeless dead fish eyes, then fell back and tried to continue dreaming.
He had to see what was written in the letter at all costs.
“…”
Song Yunhui opened his eyes again.
Very good, can't sleep.
Abominable.
Song Yunhui could only sit up from the bed again. Just as he was about to put on his pajamas, he found something lugging under the quilt.
The quilt squirmed, and finally a cat's head emerged.
Orange looked at him with her big round eyes.
He picked up Xiumao, patted the kitten's head, and said, "Good morning."
Orange meowed.
Song Yun looked back at the mobile phone he had placed on the bedside table after using it yesterday.
As he glanced over, his cell phone rang.
Casually pulling on his pajamas, he answered the phone.
On the other side came a voice that was obviously old, but very energetic.
"Are you busy recently?"
Holding the cat in one hand and the phone in the other, Song Yunhui put on his slippers and said, "Not too busy."
Even without looking at the contact, he could tell that the person on the other end was his mentor.
He had a good relationship with his tutor in college, and the tutor often took him to work on projects, and they kept in touch from time to time.
"Well, have you seen the algorithm that was recently optimized?"
Although it was a question, the other party's tone was very affirmative.
He affirmed that a person who had graduated for several years and was no longer working in the industry was still paying attention to the profession and was still learning.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but he is right.
“I have.”
He went downstairs carrying Orange, then squatted on the ground and watched the other person eat cat food. Song Yunhui listened to the lecture while touching the cat.
The person on the other side said that his acquaintance had a project, but was short of one person anyway, and asked him if he was interested in going.
The instructor asked him if he was interested, but didn't mention the urgency of the matter. However, coming to him at this time must be somewhat urgent.
"What do you want?"
"As long as you know how to modify the algorithm, you can get started. But time is tight and the results need to be out in the next two days."
Seeing that Chengzi was eating happily, Song Yunhui stood up and went upstairs while chatting about the details.
At the end of the conversation, he gave his tutor a positive answer.
The serious topic ends here.
The person on the other side sighed and said, "I thought you would come back to the last school celebration. I also wanted to chat with you face to face. So, will you come back to the school celebration this time?"
Song Yun smiled and said, "I'm not in City A right now, and I probably won't be back this year."
"That's a shame."
The other party smacked his lips and said, "I have many good talents to introduce to you."
I guess when people reach this age, both men and women, they seem to automatically develop a side job.
Song Yunhui didn't want to meet these promising young people he mentioned, so he hung up the phone after chatting for a few more words.
Today is another day without playing with the phone.
This was a very ordinary day for him, and it was also an ordinary day for many people.
It may be a bit stressful for Song Zishu, but the company has hired some online trolls to temporarily suppress the negative comments. Now the comments have warmed up and are better than before.
The most uncomfortable ones are the crew. They have truly felt like riding a roller coaster in the past few days.
They originally chose Song Zishu just to take advantage of Song Yunhui's recent traffic, but they didn't expect to directly take away the male lead and the eldest son of the investor, and they suffered backlash due to improper marketing, and now they are still begging for help everywhere.
The director and the main crew members held a meeting early in the morning.
They decided to learn from the director of "The Departure"'s previous coping method, and they would definitely shock everyone by threatening to kill Song Zishu. They said they believed that all the rumors would be self-defeating by then.
When the director of "Departure" decided to cast Song Yunhui, he was criticized by the entire network. The criticism was not comparable to the drizzle now, but in the end he received more rewards, and now many people praise him for his vision.
As long as they can withstand this pressure and persevere to the end, the crew feels that even if they can't get the same effect as the director of "Departure", they can at least attract a wave of investment.
As for whether Song Zishu can surprise everyone in the end or whether he will be scolded, this is not within their consideration for the time being.
They just need to give the attitude.
So, in the morning, the director released a big-eyed boy.
[I believe Song Zishu has talent that is not inferior to others, and he is also hardworking and far superior to ordinary people.]
With this big-eyed guy and the internet trolls hired by Song Zishu's company, the tone of the comment section finally changed a little.
People outside the circle saw the director's determination and affirmation of Song Zishu, but people inside the circle saw that the other party did not care about Song Zishu's life or death at all.
[? So confident, do you really have the ability? Is this a last-ditch struggle?]
[Laughing, you can’t shoot without money, and there’s no leading actor. So what if you work hard and have talent?]
[“Talent that is not inferior to others”, I don’t need to explain who the “someone” is]
【I believe Zishu has this ability! 】
[Not to mention his acting skills, I think Zishu’s character is definitely better than Song Yunhui, and he can definitely play this role well! ]
[Don’t brag, if you look at his previous works, they are not so amazing]
There are still disputes in the comment section, but at least it is no longer as one-sided as before, and the reputation has been barely saved.
Peace has returned to the Internet.
But this peace was broken at night.
Once one line is broken, more weak lines are doomed to break.
Tuesday, a normal weekday, evening.
When netizens get home from get off work or school, they originally want to have some fun, check their phones for a while, and then go to sleep.
As a result, a video was released late at night before going to bed, which successfully attracted a lot of people to stay up late.
The incident of Song Yunhui pushing someone into the water is still being debated online. Even though the person involved has come forward to explain that Song Yunhui was the one who saved the person, there is still a voice online saying that it was a self-directed act.
He pushed people into the water and then went back to rescue them.
No one has evidence that he pushed the person, but everyone can see that he rescued the person.
This is a very dark idea, but surprisingly many people support it.
But all the arguments ended that night.
The video is not exclusive. It was released by several big Vs and received a lot of attention as soon as it was released.
The video is a surveillance video. It is not long, but it allows you to understand the whole process of the incident.
最開始是成果和宋雲回站在河邊說話，他們應該是在争論什麽事情，成果大少爺，脾氣爆，跟爆竹一樣噼裏啪啦炸開，宋雲回的表情自始至終都很淡很冷靜——除了在戲裏有豐富的情感，他在戲外一向是這個表情。他先是點頭表示認可成果的一部分話，之後又開始反駁。
這就是之前據說他們關系不和的傳聞的來源，也是所謂的宋雲回動手推人的動機。
畫面中出現了另外一個人。
應該是劇組裏的一個場務，他手裏托着一把很長的扶梯，從兩人之間路過，之後離開。
視頻到這裏都還正常。
宋雲回遮住了其他人的視線，但是遮不住監視器。
在場務離開鏡頭之後，監控器居高臨下，拍到了扶梯的一個腳直接從成果腰邊拍過。
河邊本就濕滑，對方被拍了一下後直接順着力道方向退了一步，結果沒站穩，就這麽倒了下去。
監控器拍的畫面并不算高清，看不到他的表情，但即使是這麽模糊的畫面，看的人同樣可以感受到當時的迷茫和無助，之後是随之産生而來的絕望。
他就這麽直接跌進了河裏。
最近幾天大概是下過大雨，河水暴漲，看上去洶湧澎湃。
他剛掉進去就被河水裹挾着向前帶去，速度很快，就這麽一會兒就要消失在監控器範圍內。
然後他們就看到宋雲回脫掉外套，直接跳了下去。
他的反應速度很快，動作也很利落，在其他人還沒有反應過來的時候已經進了河裏。
兩個人的身影全都消失在了視線範圍內。
是很平靜但又同時很心焦的等待時間。
視頻畫面裏只有不斷圍過來的人群，還有一直濤濤向前的河水。
視頻沒有加速，等待的每一分每一秒都是真實的。
等得越是久，心裏就越發揪緊。
岸邊的人一直有在試圖做什麽，但是試了很多種方法，都沒有用。
等待的每一分每一秒都是煎熬。
終于，在視頻最後，河裏終于出現了兩個人影。
他們離得遠，畫面很糊，看不清具體的樣子，但是仍然能夠看出在河裏前進的艱難。
岸邊的人這次終于反應得快了一些，朝河裏伸過長杆。
宋雲回握住了長杆。
兩人終于到了岸邊。
最前面的是成果的助理們，幾個大男人一起把已經昏過去的成果拉了上來，趕緊查看情況。
宋雲回是自己上去的。
他渾身濕透，支着地慢慢站起來。
他應該是說了兩句話，但是離得遠，其他人看不到也聽不見他到底說了什麽。
他們就只看到他說完話之後往後一仰，就直接癱軟倒在地上。
所有人的視線都在成果身上，沒有人注意到他，聽到了一聲響之後這才反應過來。
視頻到這裏就結束了。
原本應該風平浪靜的晚上注定不再安靜。
【？？？怎麽這麽突然！沒有一點預告真的很吓人啊！】
【woc！看得我心髒都要跳出來了，就算知道結局還是好吓人】
【看清楚了嗎？人真不是宋雲回推的】
【宋雲回反應好快！！！是我的話肯定就傻愣在那兒了】
【之前成果解釋沒人信，現在信了吧？】
【對事不對人，為什麽會突然多了這麽多正義使者啊？我看你們之前不都罵得挺開心嗎，主頁上面的那些話還沒删呢】
【握草握草握草！好心疼啊！最後救上來的時候大家都去關心成果，沒有一個人注意到他，但凡有人扶着他他都不會倒下去啊嗚嗚嗚】
【最後那一下是摔着頭了吧？看上去都好痛】
【這麽急的水都敢下去，救的還是之前在吵架（？）的人，dbq，我馬上删之前的話】
【劇組裏的監控器就只有可能是劇組自己裝的，既然這個視頻一直都在，為什麽之前不發出來？好惡臭的劇組】
【所以之前說親眼看到了宋雲回把成果推下水的人在哪，出來放個屁好嗎？】
【明明這次宋雲回沒有錯，為什麽不出來解釋一下啊？】
【解釋有用嗎】
【……】
視頻發出的最開始，網友們還在質疑其真實度，覺得這麽個視頻應該不會在毫無鋪墊的情況下發出來，懷疑是營銷號的炒作。
結果視頻越看越真，真到隔着屏幕都能感覺到在水中的窒息感和在岸上的人的心焦和驚駭。
這是最原始的監控錄像，中間沒有經過任何剪輯和後期處理，最為簡單也最為直接。
千百句的解釋比不上一個普通的視頻。
劇組首當其沖，被沖了個稀巴爛。
【劇組裏的監控器，劇組肯定有錄像吧，手裏捏着證據就是不發，就貪這點小破流量，這就是格局】
【救命我下班回來就順手看一下大眼仔，現在好了，明天早上開會，我現在還氣得睡不着】
【“不輸他人的天賦”，人都退圈了，自然好話賴話都由你們說】
【上午還在罵宋雲回人品不好的人呢？在哪裏啊，出來溜一圈（我也罵過我先說）】
【為什麽啊，為什麽之前這些人說什麽我就信什麽，我怎麽那麽傻.逼啊！沒有一點自己的主見，真的傻得不像我一樣】
【我也，不理解】
和劇組一起被沖的還有宋子舒。
上午劇組前腳發話力挺他，其他人默認他們統一戰線，挨罵也一起。
***
宋宅
宋子舒安靜坐在床邊。
房間裏沒開燈，手機也被遠遠地放到一邊，他就這樣坐在這，一言不發。
他已經看到網上的消息了。
現在公司正在幫他進行緊急公關，認識的朋友有的選擇明哲保身，有的選擇為他發言。
所有的這些他都沒有關注，遠離了手機。
他能感受到有什麽東西在隐隐消散，在超出掌控，從昨晚開始就是這樣。
樓下傳來汽車引擎的聲音，應該是宋成或者宋雲揚回來了，放在平時，他應該會下樓去見他們才對。
但是現在他絲毫不敢邁出自己的房間。
這原本算不上什麽大事，一場輿論罵戰，對很多藝人來說都必須得經歷。
但是他沒有經歷過，并且也覺得自己不該經歷。
從小到大，他從來都是順風順水，收到的都是誇贊和鼓勵。
他進娛樂圈并不是有多熱愛演戲，就只是為了收到更多人的贊美，而不是經歷現在的罵戰。
他現在害怕看到別人。
害怕看到保姆，看到司機，看到徐薇，看到宋成和宋雲揚。
——尤其是在今天宋雲回的事情爆出來之後。
他莫名覺得自己像個小偷。
他現在在三樓，只要站在陽臺上往斜下角看，就可以看到那間被他占領的房間——宋雲回原本的房間的陽臺。
那間房間他占來壓根沒什麽用，但他就是想要。
這就像是一個保證一樣，可以讓他感覺心安。
現在這些他一步步試探着得來的東西卻讓他坐立難安。
他害怕自己得來了多少，到時候就要如數還回去。
他得到的東西太多太多了。
樓下的引擎聲音消失，之後傳來說話聲。
房間離那邊離得太遠，聽不清具體的聲音，不知道回來的是宋雲揚還是宋成。
大門打開。
說話的聲音從屋外傳到了屋內，宋子舒雖然在三樓，但是房間離走廊近，剛好可以聽見下面的聲音。
是宋成回來了。
徐薇已經在第一時間去見他。
她和平時一樣的溫柔小意，對方卻沒怎麽說話，說自己還有事情要處理，也沒吃晚飯，直接就進了書房。
他一進書房，樓下的聲音瞬間就小了下去，不再熱熱鬧鬧。
徐薇應該是問了什麽話，有傭人說：
“雲揚少爺說是公司裏有事，今晚不回來。”
平時都是歡聲笑語的屋子裏一下子安靜了下來。
***
已經是深夜，公司裏的人都走盡，原本明亮的大樓暗淡下來，只有中間一層還亮着光。
宋雲揚坐在辦公桌前，眼睛看着電腦屏幕，眉眼間盡是疲倦。
他再重新播放了一次視頻。
這個視頻他已經看了好幾遍，看到眼睛酸脹，但仍然像是沒有看過一般，看了一次又一次。
不管看了多少次，每次看到沒有絲毫猶豫就跳進水裏的那個身影時，心髒都會止不住地狠狠一跳。
腦子像是要炸裂一樣，各種畫面交叉。
許文惠去世時他在國外，得到消息後接待他玩的叔叔就帶他回國。
房裏是前來哀悼的客人，院裏只有家裏的傭人。
“夫人可不就是小少爺害死的，身體都那樣了還要起來一起玩。”
他站在牆角，腳步忽然就頓住。
這一句話，他記了十幾年。
他開始疏遠這個曾今一步也不想離的弟弟，在父親找到另一個喜歡的人後選擇接納，接納那個女人，接納她的孩子。
他就單純的想要宋成高興，想要他從過去中走出來，讓這個家重新活過來。
——但只唯獨他自己留在了原地，留在了葬禮那天，永遠沉湎于過去。
其他人走向了新生活，他卻不能。
It was not so much that he believed the servant's words, but rather that he needed support, something to keep him going.
——Even if it’s a negative emotion.
With his eyes sore, Song Yunyang finally pressed the pause button and paused the video before the figure jumped into the river.
He finally realized what mistake he had made.
He had support, but he also left Song Yunhui in the past.
He made it impossible for them to move on from the past.
——
"Aqiu!"
Sitting in front of the computer, the computer in the room was still running, and it was warm, but Song Yunhui yawned inexplicably.
He took a sip of hot coffee when the doorbell rang downstairs.
"Hello, there's a delivery for you!"
Song Yunhui put on his slippers, went downstairs, put on a mask, and then opened the door.
It was a courier sent by Ye Min. There were two copies, one for him and one for Qin Shu. They were not very big and not very heavy.
After putting away the package, Song Yunhui sat on the carpet and opened his own package with Chengzi.
They are two custom-made frames, one with a small dinosaur and one with a small orange sunflower, with photos already inside.
In the photo, four people are sitting on the sofa together and smiling. Sugar-free whole wheat bread is sitting in the middle, looking at the camera, with curiosity in his round eyes.
