Chapter 76 Proposal
Xu Wei has a secret.
She is not from this world, but a person who traveled through the book world, into a novel that her friend had mentioned to her.
She doesn't like reading novels and abstains from all entertainment activities. She just wants to get away from her poor home, her weak mother and her alcoholic father as soon as possible. After promising her friend that she would read the book, she put the matter aside.
When I woke up, I saw a strange room.
A stranger called out a strange name to her.
The huge shock made her almost unable to think.
She did not answer whoever spoke to her and stumbled out of the room.
The TV was on in the unfamiliar living room, and on it was playing the news that the wife of Chairman Song had passed away. It said that she had suffered from a disease that currently has no cure, and like a few people with the same disease, she passed away after a painful struggle.
Xu Wei leaned against the wall, unable to describe her feelings at that time.
She remembered this setting.
The hero of the novel is a child of the wealthy Song family. He lives a smooth life with a happy ending. The background of the hero's father's wife passing away and his subsequent remarriage is briefly mentioned.
But she remembered her friend telling her that the second wife had the same name as her.
Song Cheng is gentle, polite and doesn't drink too much. Most importantly, she is rich. Her friends joked that it would be great if she was like Xu Wei.
Why can't she be that Xu Wei?
Xu Wei accepted the facts with extraordinary acceptance and responsiveness, and she also had a goal.
She was no longer herself, but Xu Wei, the Xu Wei who was going to marry the chairman of the Song Corporation.
Song Cheng was still young at the time, good-looking, rich and powerful. There were many people eyeing the position of Mrs. Song, including many wealthy and noble ladies.
But in the end, she won with her patience.
Others gave up after finding out that Song Cheng had no intention of remarrying, but she continued to create opportunities and show concern for him over the years.
Because she knew that she would eventually take that position.
In the end, she got what she wanted, and she and Song Cheng had their own child, and she finally stood firm on her feet.
But there is another problem.
Including her child, there are three children in the Song family, and she is not sure which one is the protagonist.
But then one day her son said something to her that sounded a little out of the blue.
She knew that her son was the protagonist.
She thought that as long as things continued like this, her son would have a perfect life and she would be able to be a lady for the rest of her life.
——Until she discovered that her son began to feel inferior.
Song Yunyang has been abroad for many years and has two children at home. Before the physically weak and intellectually mediocre Song Zishu, there is always the sunny and cheerful Song Yunhui, who is in great shape and in great shape. He is like a contrast... like a protagonist.
The protagonist could not feel inferior. She touched her son's head and slowly started her plan.
She can't stop him from becoming excellent, but she can change other people's views of him.
The plan was successful, Song Yunhui fell from the clouds and hit the ground heavily.
She thought that everything would continue to develop as in the novel.
Until one day Song Zishu told her that he was no longer the protagonist.
This is where things started to go wrong.
Song Yunhui turned the tide, and Song Zishu's life was no longer smooth. She was forced to divorce and ended up in the police station.
She used her money to hire an excellent lawyer, who let her get out immediately after she went in and put her in a hotel.
She originally thought that the matter could be settled as long as she had money, until one day she saw Zhong Xu.
The other party has already begun to take over the Zhong family's large group with a warm and humble smile on his face.
He stood at the door of the hotel, saying nothing, his suit neatly on, a smile on his face, but he looked at her as if she were a dead person.
She later understood what the other person meant.
After seeing him at the hotel, she realized something was wrong and bought a ticket to go abroad, but was stopped at the airport.
Someone sued her.
She knew why she was being sued.
Of the huge amount of money that had been saved over the years, apart from a small amount, the rest was spent on places Song Cheng didn't know.
The evidence was conclusive, the court hearing was held, the lawyer defended her, but she ultimately lost the case and was sentenced. Her application for probation was also rejected as an attempt to circumvent the issue.
After entering, she saw her son through the railings.
Song Zishu sat on the bench, looked at her and smiled.
It was a smile of relief.
She stared at him, as if she was recognizing her son for the first time.
As if he didn't see her expression, Song Zishu stood up and told her to take good care of herself in there.
She yelled for the first time without caring about her image, saying that without her, the other party would not be able to go far.
But the other party didn't listen.
——
It has been more than a month since they were apart as agreed upon, and neither Song Yunhui nor Qin Shu has mentioned the trial period.
They both knew that the moment they decided to be together, it was set and there would be no regrets.
A long time had passed since they last made their relationship public. A year later, Qin Shu finally took on another movie. Song Yun went out to collect materials and was then persuaded by Ye Min and the other two to go to their place.
The old couple usually have to work and are very busy. Song Yunhui does not stay in their big house. Most of the time, he goes to various places to collect folk songs and has traveled to many places.
He had seen vast lavender fields, visited magnificent cathedrals, and seen snow-capped mountains half hidden in the clouds at the foot of mountains covered with wild flowers and grass.
He composed a little tune for a little girl who lived in a hut at the foot of the mountain and was herding sheep. The little girl liked it very much and gave him a bunch of flowers.
When Ye Min and he are not busy, they will accompany him to play, go shopping, and visit tourist attractions together.
Ye Min also likes taking photos wherever she goes.
The camera that Song Yunhui bought for taking scenery photos came in handy at this time.
Professional camera stand Qin Jianyuan didn't know how to use a camera at first. He only knew how to turn it on and off and press the shutter button. Later, he probably learned a lot secretly. He even learned how to compose and adjust the mode, and knew what aperture priority was.
Sometimes there are enthusiastic passers-by who offer to help them take pictures.
They were having a great time here, and the person who could only calculate the time difference and make a video call through the mobile phone screen finally became Qin Shu.
Sitting between Ye Min and Qin Jianyuan, Song Yunhui was still holding the fruit cup they handed over in his hand. He puffed out his cheeks and chewed while greeting him vaguely.
Ye Min and the other person were eating fruit and laughing, their faces flushed. Song Yunhui's face was also flushed and his eyes were crooked.
I am so happy that I don't want to leave.
A ball of orange and yellow appeared silently behind the three people, and a pair of woolen gloves aimed at the colorful fruit cup.
"Meow!"
Before Orange could succeed, his failed sneak attack claws were caught.
Chengzi was forced to nestle in Qin Jianyuan's arms.
Qin Shu has to travel around for filming and won't be at home all the time. Song Yunhui also has to go on a long trip, so they can't just leave Chengzi at home, even if someone takes care of her regularly. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to let Song Yunhui bring Chengzi here.
Living at my grandparents' house, the oranges have become visibly round.
Song Yunhui touched his paw and said, "Say hello to your father."
When Orange saw the familiar face on the phone, he meowed at the phone and looked a little angry.
Although the kitten is usually partial to his dad, he still likes his dad a little bit.
I haven't seen it for such a long time, so it must miss its dad very much.
A few people were chatting slowly. Qin Shu talked about nothing but filming. There was not much to say. Ye Min and the other person were talking more.
Seeing Qin Shu's eyes constantly glancing towards Song Yunhui, Ye Min rolled her eyes, then covered her mouth and laughed, saying:
"When I was out playing today, someone approached Yunzai. He was really good-looking and very talkative. All I wanted to do was add his contact information."
She pretended to sigh with regret and said, "What a pity."
Everyone could hear what she was regretting.
Song Yunhui acted as if the person being chatted up was not him. He just kept nodding and smiling, having fun the whole time.
Qin Shu looked at him carefully and didn't fall for Ye Min's trick. Finally, he said, "Have fun here, but be careful."
Song Yunhui nodded while holding the fruit in his mouth.
The person on the other end of the phone had to go back to work, and the video call ended.
After finishing the last bite of fruit in the cup, Song Yunhui stood up and walked upstairs.
Ye Min seemed to have guessed what he was going to do and asked him, "Are you leaving?"
Nodding slightly, Song Yun smiled and said, "It's time to go back."
The two elders didn't stop and smiled as they stroked the furry oranges.
Song Yun returned to his room and started packing his things.
He hadn't been here for a long time, but there were already a lot of things in the room without him noticing. Some were bought by him, and most were bought by Ye Min and the other person. There was everything.
He probably would come to visit again in the future, so he didn't plan to take these things with him. He only brought the necessary things for returning home, which filled a small suitcase, which was not too heavy.
He was packing up, and the oranges downstairs were also being packed.
The kitten was trying to resist at first, but when it saw the kitten was frozen dry, it exerted its subjective initiative and went into the cage without saying a word.
Song Yunhui had already booked the flight ticket in advance, so there was still time.
Ye Min and two others sent him to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, the two of them did not leave. After checking in the orange, they waited with him.
Knowing that he was leaving, the old couple did not try to persuade him much, but they talked a little more than usual at this time.
When the airport announcement sounded, Song Yunhui stood up, and they followed suit and waved.
They stood there for a while until they saw the figures of the people who had passed the ticket gate disappear from their sight, and finally turned around and slowly walked out of the airport.
Song Yunhui spent most of the time on the plane sleeping.
在醒來時看了一眼時間，他閉上眼睛打算繼續睡，結果手機抖了一下，有人發了一條消息。
之後這些人像是約好了一樣，消息開始一起響個不停。
他重新拿起手機看了一眼。
最頂上的是之前在《暮歸》劇組遇到的那個男生，對方不知道怎麽找到他的微信，之前加上了，對方會找話題，有時候問一些事情，一來二去算是熟了。
這次對方是來報喜的，說《暮歸》之前送去國外那邊評獎，現在已經入圍。
擡手回複了兩句，宋雲回退出界面往後翻，看到了陳晨發來的消息。
這個人像是不加“打游戲”三個字就說不了話一樣，前面半截還在講之前說好的今天要做的正經事，後半截果然又是問他打不打游戲。
之前大概是因為菜，這人還沒游戲瘾，現在還是菜，但是有人帶他，于是膨脹了。
毫不猶豫拒絕了對方，他繼續看消息。
消息回完算上去也沒花多少時間。
距離落地還有一個半小時，他閉上眼睛再眯了一會兒。
這一會兒就是一個多小時。
等他再睜眼的時候，乘務已經開始播報目的地。
起飛的時候還是白天，現在天已經完全黑了。
飛機開始慢慢降落，宋雲回轉頭從窗戶往下看。
現在就已經能夠看到像是連成一片星海的燈光。
看了眼手機上彈出的消息，他随手揉了把頭發，慢慢打着呵欠。
飛機順利降落。
接到同樣睡了一飛機的橙子，他提着貓貓和行李箱出了閘機。
晚上的機場比白天安靜一些，人少了不少。
壓了下頭頂上的棒球帽，宋雲回低頭看了眼手機上的地址，之後出站打了輛車。
他沒有直接回去，而是半路去了一趟其他地方，之後再折返回去。
上了車，橙子終于可以出來放風，大眼睛裏映着越來越熟悉的景象。
他們還經過了上次一起去過的公園。
現在已經是春天，車窗開了一小條縫，夜間的晚風吹進車內，橙子好像很喜歡這種感覺，身上的橘黃色的茸毛都被吹得飛起，一雙眼睛都眯了起來。
但是宋雲回沒讓小貓吹太久，之後就關了車窗。
已經到小區門口了。
橙子放風完畢，又被塞進了籠子裏。
行李箱在路面上滾過，發出的聲響在一片安靜中被無限放大。
得虧這條路沒有挨着居民樓。
路燈綿延向前，光亮一連到了家門口突然消失。
這是太久沒住人連路燈都不給了？
也只看了兩眼，宋雲回原本想打開手機手電筒，手裏又不怎麽騰得開，最後就這麽借着原本的微弱的光亮走到了家門前。
他開的是秦書的門。
這裏應該是有人定時來打掃，屋內很幹淨，看上去跟他們剛走時沒兩樣。
宋雲回進屋開燈後的第一件事情就是把橙子放出來讓它盡情撒歡，之後把行李箱提起來進了屋。
把手裏的東西放桌上，他沒有立即躺下，而是開始倒騰自己的行李箱。
他倒騰行李箱的時候門鈴就響了。
站在門口的是陳晨，還給他說了句“好久不見”，順帶感概他們這安保是真的嚴。
“昨天游戲裏才見過。”
宋雲回招手讓他進來，說，“來得剛好，幫我搭把手，我一個人做不完。”
陳晨一邊挽起袖子一邊控訴，“好家夥，原來你之前說讓我大晚上過來是讓我過來當苦力。”
宋雲回不置可否，把手裏的小絨花遞到他手上，讓他把這個放彩帶上去。
陳晨拿着手裏的小絨花，不知道為什麽還驚訝了一下，說：“你居然準備這麽多花。”
裏面有花外面也有，手電筒一照全是花。
沒想到這個人還挺喜歡花。
宋雲回一邊搗鼓着手裏的東西一邊應了聲。
兩個人一通忙活，終于趕着把所有東西都準備好。
所有的事情都倒騰完畢，陳晨坐在一邊擦汗，宋雲回給秦書發了一條消息外加一個在幹什麽貓貓頭。
對方回得也快，說已經下班了，現在正在小區門口。
之前聊天的時候他就說過他們劇組在之前去了不少地方，這次剛好要回這邊拍攝，今天就是他拍的最後一天，劇組還要接着拍其他人的戲份，他可以直接回家休息。
秦書向來不會隐瞞什麽，又更新了最新消息，說經紀人和助理他們也來了，看上去像是要在這裏過夜。
宋雲回回了一個表情包，之後再看了一眼時間，兩個人一起把燈關掉。
安靜不到一會兒，已經可以聽到門外的腳步聲。
鑰匙轉動，門打開的瞬間，蠟燭亮起。
秦書進屋的第一眼看到的就是已經太久沒有真正見過的人。
他像是沒什麽變化，也可能瘦了一些，眉眼一如既往的溫和。
溫暖的燭光映亮了秦書沉靜的臉側……和後腦勺。
“……”
宋雲回拿着手裏的蛋糕，和後面同樣捧着蛋糕的幾個人幾目相對。
水果三兄弟笑點出奇的一致，三個人一前一後一起笑出了聲。
他們一笑，所有人反應過來，終于在時間剛到另一天的時候說了一句“生日快樂”。
宋雲回也想笑，但是忍住了，迎着秦書的視線，他認真說：
“很好，這次生日你可以許兩個願了。”
于是秦書就在生日這天擁有了許兩個願的權力。
宋雲回原本以為他會配合着吹個蠟燭直接走流程，沒想到他居然還真閉眼睛像是許了願。
還一連許了倆。
這個貪心的男人。
吹完蠟燭之後屋子裏的燈亮起，大家一起進了客廳。
客廳裏顯然很認真地布置過，十足的生日風，頭頂上面還有小絨花蕩啊蕩。
兩個蛋糕并排放在桌上。
一堆人坐擠一點剛好可以圍一桌，這樣一起看着桌面上的蛋糕。
買蛋糕的時候很快樂，吹蠟燭的時候也很快樂，但是大晚上吃蛋糕對身上脂肪來說還是略微有些痛苦。
并且現在成了雙倍的痛苦。
一桌人一邊慢慢嘴角流着淚一邊期待着承受這份痛苦。
切蛋糕的還是秦書。
宋雲回坐在他旁邊看着，之後半睜着的眼睛微微睜大，像是有些不可思議一樣，問：
“你是不是在緊張啊秦小書。”
他沒覺得秦書切個蛋糕會緊張，但對方手臂肌肉緊繃，表情也比平時更認真一些，看上去就是緊張的樣子。
這麽一段時間沒見，這個人切個蛋糕都會緊張了嗎？
秦書否認了。
雖然他外表看上去疑似在緊張，但是下手倒是很利落，手起刀落，兩個蛋糕剛好一分兩份，不同蛋糕一樣一份。
原本還在樓上撒歡的橙子像是聞到味了，也下樓來，這次選擇先貼着秦書褲腿貼貼，之後毫不猶豫跳上了宋雲回的腿。
只是遺憾小貓咪沒有吃蛋糕的權力。
但是蛋糕上有水果，還沒沾奶油，宋雲回于是低頭給小貓咪開了個小竈。
秦書坐在他身邊，就這樣看着他低頭揉揉摸摸小貓咪，嘴邊還挂着淺淺的笑。
“……”
他手上的肌肉更緊繃了些。
工作暫時告一段落，獲得了寶貴的幾天休息時間，加上有人生日，桌上的酒和飲料擺開，原本想送完蛋糕就走的一堆人留了下來，又變成了快樂小聚會。
秦書也罕見地主動喝了口酒。
桌上的笑聲就沒停過。
盡管之前一直有在打視頻電話，但是和真正見面還是有很大差別，其他人在講着話，宋雲回和秦書也在小聲聊天。
一邊講一邊吃，吃完奶油和蛋糕，盤子裏剛好還剩一顆草莓，宋雲回順手叉進了秦書嘴裏。
在他懷裏的小貓咪順着草莓的運動方向轉頭，最後眼睜睜看着草莓消失不見。
橙子虎軀一震，深受打擊，于是決定離開這個不屬于它的是非之地，去找自己貓糧吃吃。
在又一次試圖放松身上肌肉之後，秦書低頭說：“陪我出去走走吧。”
宋雲回擡眼看他：“現在？”
秦書點頭，說：“我們去年種的花應該已經開了。”
他們在之前說要把兩個院子之間的圍欄拆掉，後來的确拆了，兩邊還一起種上了花，一直放陽臺上的種花幾件套終于派上了用場。
他們種的有些花應該已經開了。
吃掉最後一口蛋糕，宋雲回站起來伸過手，稍一颔首，說：
“走吧，大壽星。”
秦書拉過他的手。
其他人注意到了他們的動作，但都默契地沒有多說，問了一下他們去哪後就繼續聊天。
單獨散步是小情侶的情.趣——即使時間是在深夜。
兩個人不去哪裏，就在院子裏轉轉。
宋雲回還記得外面的路燈已經熄了，随手開了門前的燈，至少能照亮一點地方。
在他沒看到的地方，原本還圍着桌子聊天的人突然感覺到一側突然亮起來，轉過頭去。
就這麽一瞬間，他們眼睛不自覺睜大。
有人直接又準确地“woc”了一聲。
出了門後，秦書交握着宋雲回的手，帶着他往院子裏走。
一瞬間，淡粉色的光亮映亮了淺色瞳孔。
There is a tree in the courtyard, a tall cherry tree, the kind that you need to look up to see. The branches of the tree keep extending outward, and the branches are full of cherry blossoms. The branches are emitting warm white light, which illuminates the overlapping layers of light pink petals, and the whole tree seems to be glowing.
The evening wind was still blowing, and the petals were slowly falling onto the grass where small flowers were still blooming. A pink and white layer had accumulated, like a natural carpet.
It was like a dream.
Song Yunhui's eyes widened slightly.
He remembered the tree and recognized the small flowers beneath it.
The tree was transplanted last year and was completely bare at that time.
The small flowers under the tree were planted by them together last spring.
"Qin Xiaoshu..."
When he turned around, he found that Qin Shu had unconsciously let go of his hand and was standing not far from him.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with his sleeves half-rolled up as before, and holding a bouquet of bright red flowers in one hand.
