Hey, who's the boss?!
Xuan Jiazhuo was not there today, so there were only Bing Jie, Meng Jingxuan and Qi Jixin in the meeting room. Meng Jingxuan was sitting in the boss's position in the middle, feeling very uncomfortable.
Qi Jixin's left hand was still hanging around his neck, and his right hand held a pen, flipping through the script in front of him.
Meng Jingxuan looked at Bing Jie cautiously. The man looked at Qi Jixin without blinking. He knew Bing Jie too well. In fact, if it were not to rationalize his behavior, what Bing Jie wanted to do most was to ask Qi Jixin to help him analyze the script word by word.
Now that she had taken the initiative to propose changing the script, Bing Jie could be said to be extremely happy about it, although he had actually already glimpsed most of the truth.
Qi Jixin flipped through the script that almost reproduced her memories, and stopped the probe at the last and most important scene - the quarrel over childbirth.
From downstairs to the small conference room upstairs, Qi Jixin finally figured it out. Bing Jie's plan to speed up the process was nothing more than two plans: one, to go on vacation with him; two, to stay away from him.
The former is unlikely, because Qi Jixin found that his expression was very wrong from morning till he saw her. He was so close to her before, but now he was so cold and distant. However, subconscious actions could not deceive others. She found that Bing Jie was restraining his emotions.
That can only be to stay away from myself.
Qi Jixin was not sad about this, but after walking up a few steps, he roughly guessed the reason. His parents kept the child as a trump card in order to hold Bing Jie hostage. It was not surprising that they used the child to threaten Bing Jie to stay away from them.
Once you have a guess, you need to verify it.
"Mr. Meng, I'm actually very curious about the creative concept of this script. If I was a little curious before, now I can say that I don't understand it at all."
Qi Jixin looked up at Meng Jingxuan and could already sense his uneasiness. Of course, tormenting Bing Jie's friend in the process of verifying his hypothesis was a good idea.
This was an old grudge between her and Meng Jingxuan. It all started when Meng Jingxuan dared to introduce so-called wife candidates to Bing Jie at his bachelor party before his wedding... and was caught red-handed by Qi Jixin.
Since then, Qi Jixin has been bullying Meng Jingxuan a lot.
Speaking of this, Meng Jingxuan still felt innocent. After all, he just thought that Bing Jie was just looking for a celebrity to have fun with. After Bing Jie heard it, he told him his feelings seriously. Only then did Meng Jingxuan dare not mention the matter of taking him out to fool around.
Meng Jingxuan suddenly recalled the time when he was asked by the teacher to recite the text. Fortunately, he held his face with one hand to block the angle of his jaw, so he could clench his back teeth without restraint.
"Tell me something and let me hear it." Meng Jingxuan said with a slight smile.
Qi Jixin lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, tapping the table with the unopened pen in his hand, giving Meng Jingxuan enough time to ask Bing Jie for help.
3, 2, 1—time’s up.
"Look, for example, this plot, no matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense to me."
In fact, most of her experiences with Bing Jie involved swapping genders, which was all reasonable. However, the last scene, after the genders were swapped, made the tone of the whole scene very strange.
In reality, after giving birth, Qi Jixin learned from Bing Jie that her child had died, which broke her last bit of sanity. The two of them were completely alienated from then on. Qi Jixin finally escaped from the hospital and Bing Jie could never find her again.
Although the roles are reversed in the script, the general plot direction remains the same, but the plot of giving birth cannot be inserted into Bing Jie's role after all. That is to say, it is Qi Jixin who has to give birth to the child.
The script says that Qi Jixin gave birth to a child who died, and Bing Jie couldn't accept this. The two had a quarrel, and Qi Jixin filed for divorce. She never saw Bing Jie again, and the two parted ways.
"Do you feel anything strange? I just gave birth and I'm very fragile. Why did Bing Jie come to argue with me? Even the reason is that the child died... But it's Bing Jie and I's child after all. He loves the child, so does that mean I, the mother who carried the child for ten months, don't love him too much?"
Qi Jixin held the pen cap with one hand, sketching on the script as he spoke. He then analyzed, "According to the previous script, Bing Jie loves me very much. Then why did he quarrel with me and even divorce me when I was at my most vulnerable and helpless?"
Bing Jie, who had been silent all this time, had an increasingly complicated look in his eyes. She used two people's names directly when she was describing the plot, which made him a little dazed - children, yes, their two children were still alive.
He really wanted to tell Qi Jixin the truth regardless of anything, but she had lost her memory, and he had not yet found where the child was. Under so many conditions, Bing Jie could only say nothing.
Meng Jingxuan raised his hand and scratched his head, thinking that professional things should be done by professionals. How could he answer this question? While Qi Jixin lowered his head to read the script and write something, he looked at Bing Jie.
Bing Jie nodded calmly, and Meng Jingxuan felt a little relieved. When Qi Jixin looked up again, Bing Jie spoke.
"Boss Meng actually discussed this with me. This part of the script is indeed not quite right, so we can revise it."
"How to change it?" Qi Jixin looked at him curiously, and of course, Meng Jingxuan too.
"First of all, the child didn't die—"
"Cough cough..." Meng Jingxuan was almost choked to death. He covered his mouth and coughed violently, wondering what happened to Bing Jie today?
The child has always been a knot in Bing Jie's heart. After drinking, he told himself guiltily that if he knew this would be the consequence of telling the truth, he would rather make up a lie to deceive Qi Jixin.
Why are you suddenly talking about the child now?
Meng Jingxuan's unusual behavior attracted the attention of the other two people present. Bing Jie was just a little confused, while Qi Jixin frowned tightly, and she was actually hiding her true feelings.
Sure enough, Bing Jie knew about the child!
Qi Jixin has already obtained the test result she wanted, not to mention that she has Meng Jingxuan, a temporary ally, who "helps" her divert Bing Jie's attention. It is perfect.
"It's okay, it's okay. I smoked too much yesterday and my throat hurts." Meng Jingxuan explained hurriedly. Qi Jixin raised the end of her eyebrows and offered a favor: "Mr. Meng, please take care of your health. Smoking too much can cause lung cancer."
Even if this matter is over, Bing Jie goes on to talk about the parts that need to be changed. In order to intensify the conflict between the two people before the birth scene, the appearance of supporting actors is inevitable. The second male lead played by Wei Hong must appear on stage, and not only that, he must have more roles.
This includes, but is not limited to, confronting Bing Jie and posting pictures of him and Qi Jixin going out together with Bing Jie. In short, he did everything he could to show how close he and Qi Jixin were in order to destroy the relationship between the couple.
Qi Jixin understood as soon as she heard it. Bing Jie created Wei Hong's role based on Hua Shaoshi's work. Hua Shaoshi had indeed bullied her in the same way back then.
"Many conflicts built up until the final scene erupted. When we were arguing, I begged you to give me the child, saying I had no other relatives. I would never interfere with whoever you ended up with."
Having said that, Bing Jie lowered his eyebrows and was obviously depressed. Meng Jingxuan keenly caught the change in his mood, but he couldn't understand why. However, Qi Jixin on the opposite side understood.
These are what she said to Bing Jie. In fact, her collapse at that time was not all acted out. At least when she heard the news of her child's death from Bing Jie, Qi Jixin really collapsed.
She begged for a divorce and asked him to let her go, just to keep her promise to Bing Jie's parents. Even if there was a slight hope of saving the child, she did not dare to slack off.
When she first proposed divorce in the ward, they were sitting opposite each other, looking at each other in silence. Bing Jie's expression of disbelief at that time broke Qi Jixin's heart.
Time has passed to today, and the two are still sitting opposite each other, recalling the circumstances of that day. Bing Jie is visibly depressed, and today Qi Jixin can finally speak something.
"That's a good plot," she interrupted Bing Jie, no longer letting his grief consume him. "Then we had the expected argument. I naturally couldn't give you the child. My idea was simple: keeping the child might allow me to keep you, but in the end, we still divorced."
Meng Jingxuan was surprised at both ends. After being puzzled by his brother's abnormal remarks today, he was also surprised by Qi Jixin's words. After all, Bing Jie had said this to him before.
Also after drinking, also starting with "if" -
"If the child was still there, I would have used the child to keep her at all costs, even if it meant threatening her. She was in such a bad state at the time, I was worried that something might happen if she left like that... Unfortunately, there are no ifs."
Meng Jingxuan was wondering if Qi Jixin had reached the highest level of perfection and could travel back in time to eavesdrop on their conversation. He was so frightened that he got goosebumps all over his body.
The same was true for Bing Jie standing beside him. He had just lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in his eyes, but now he didn't care about anything else. He looked up at Qi Jixin in surprise, shocked by what she said.
"You..., your arrangement is very good." Seeing her relaxed yet serious expression, Bing Jie stiffly affirmed her statement, thinking that his fantasy was too outrageous. How could she know what he had thought?
Qi Jixin didn't say anything else. After making a major change to a scene, Qi Jixin smiled and saw Mr. Meng off. He said that the two of them had to go to shoot the TV show quickly, and asked Mr. Meng to come back early. Then he left with Bing Jie.
In fact, he left the meeting room and turned into the next room.
Bing Jie was a little confused, but let her pull him away. Qi Jixin was holding him with one hand, so naturally she had no hands to close the door. She signaled him to close the door with her eyes. Bing Jie didn't even turn his head, but kicked the door closed.
"What did you do yesterday? Why do you look so haggard today?" Qi Jixin asked first, looking at him with concern. Bing Jie just forced a smile and shook his head, saying that it was nothing, he just had been discussing cooperation for too long and was too tired.
"Did you cry yesterday?" Bing Jie raised his hands to hold her face, and slid his thumb under her eyes. It was obvious that her eyes were a little swollen.
Qi Jixin curled her lips and blinked. Bing Jie knew it all too well. This was a sign that she was about to cry. Looking at her eyes, he felt even more distressed. Only then did she say angrily, "Isn't it possible for me to cry twice while I'm alone in an empty room?"
Bing Jie held her in his arms and apologized repeatedly, but Qi Jixin just rested her head on his neck and said she didn't blame him.
"You know, those were tears of happiness yesterday." She told him quietly, but she didn't dare to point out the meaning of her words.
