Chapter 43 I won’t break up with you.
At this moment, Sun Ziyi was lying on the bed in Sasa's house in a daze. She had just been kicked out of moma by her teacher.
Sasa rummaged around the bedroom with a bottle of red wine, and finally found a corkscrew and prepared to open the wine.
Sun Ziyi looked at Sasa and asked, "So? What did I answer wrong?"
She poured half a glass of red wine for Sun Ziyi, watched Sun Ziyi half sit up, and drank it all in one gulp.
Sasa said, "Honestly, Bao, you've been living in the world of film and television for too long. I think the motivations behind many of the things you do are very...film-like, so they're not real."
Sun Ziyi gulped down a mouthful of wine and asked Sasa, "For example?"
Sasa said, "For example, in the real world, when your teacher asks you what kind of person you are, what she needs is some fake yet sincere flattery from you, rather than you directly telling her that you have a bad temper, are difficult to get along with, and that you feel suffocated and uncomfortable every time you are around her."
Sun Ziyi thought for a while, then said slowly, "I believe honest people will be rewarded..."
Sasa said awkwardly, "You have no emotional intelligence... Those unemotional people on TV are all blessed with golden fingers. In real life, we all have to be careful and cautious in our conduct, hoping for a little bit of luck to befall ordinary people like us, rather than crossing the river by feeling the stones and gamble on uncertainties with a righteous and resolute attitude."
Sun Ziyi first reached out and touched Sasa's face. "Don't ask me to be compared with a beauty like you. I'm not worthy."
Sun Ziyi asked again, "Do you think she will join Li Bei in saying bad things about me?"
Sasa said, "What are you thinking? Your disappearance is no different from losing a hair to the teacher. She won't chat with Li Bei, an executive producer. Besides, someone at that level, complaining about you is like giving you a boost. Do you think she will?"
After hearing this, Sun Ziyi pressed the pillow against his head. "I'm going to suffocate myself to death."
Sasa knew she was regretting something, so she struck while the iron was hot and brought a glass of red wine to her muffled ear, saying gently and coaxingly, "Baby, tell me, if one day you are fifty years old and a famous screenwriter in the industry, and you want to give a twenty-year-old screenwriter a job, and you ask her who she is, what answer do you hope to hear?"
Sun Ziyi unfolded the pillow, turned over and looked at the ceiling. After thinking for a while, he said, "I should hope that she would talk about my achievements in the past half of my life to comfort herself."
Sasa said, "Oh, that's right. You said that you have a bad temper and you should change. Can I not kick you out?"
Sun Ziyi wanted to cry. "What should I do now? I'm completely jobless. I feel like I've blocked all my paths."
"People who do great things don't care about trivial matters. Don't worry about not having a job. If you are willing to go to the factory, you won't starve to death." After saying that, she poured another half cup for Sun Ziyi.
Sun Ziyi drank it all in one gulp. "It's different. When I went to the factory, I had a great mission for my ideal in my heart. I felt that I was honored."
Sasa asked, what about now?
Sun Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "Now I just want to eat five Ningbo peanut dumplings every day, because sweets make me want to live."
Sasa was amused by her and said, "Maybe things haven't been going well for you lately. Can I help you get some film and television scripts? Write film reviews or soft commercials?"
Sun Ziyi said, "This is the only way. Otherwise, I'm almost out of savings. I'm planning to participate in the Douban Reading Station rally. The first place winner can get tens of thousands of yuan."
Sasa said, "It's certainly good to strive for excellence, but if you don't invest five to seven years in writing novels, it's hard to see the rewards."
Sasa then asked, "What kind of story do you want to write about that rally?"
Sun Ziyi finally found his interest tonight. He rolled out of bed, sat on the carpet, hugged his knees, and looked at Sasa. "It's about the growth of a small town girl. Two people with the same name and surname, in different circumstances, begin their lives as intruders."
In the small room, Sasa lit the aromatherapy and turned on the projector. She had just taken a shower and was holding her wet head while listening to Sun Ziyi's talk.
After Sun Ziyi finished speaking, Sasa said wow, "Actually, I envy you too. You are always so energetic and have so many stories you want to write."
Sun Ziyi took the initiative to pour himself another glass of wine. After drinking it, he rested his chin on the edge of the bed, looking extremely lonely.
Sun Ziyi said, "Once I finish writing down the stories in my heart, I will probably be able to make a living with peace of mind. Otherwise, I will always feel unhappy and feel that I have a lot to say."
Sasa had too much hair and the towel could hardly cover it. Sun Ziyi pulled up the bath towel beside her, took off the towel on her head, and began to wipe her hair.
Sun Ziyi wiped it and said, "My novel is called Companion Animals."
Sasa thought about it, looked up and looked at her, "Why do I feel that this movie won't be a big hit?"
Sun Ziyi was silent for a moment, then said, "The name is indeed not attractive enough, but I really want to use it because sometimes I feel that the me who writes is my own companion animal."
Sasa reached out her hand to touch her soft hair, and Sun Ziyi also helped Sasa blow dry her hair.
This was a very sad day for Sun Ziyi. He met Li Bei, helped the teacher cook, went to Dingdong to grab food, drank some wine and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. Sasa had to wait until her hair was completely dry before she could go to bed, so she leaned against the back of the bed and read with the desk lamp on.
When Sun Ziyi started snoring softly, Sasa finally realized that she hadn't heard her talking about Xu Zecheng for a long time.
-
Half a month later, Xu Zecheng saw Sun Ziyi in a hot pot restaurant in Sanlitun. This was the first time they met after returning to Beijing.
Xu Zecheng was accompanied by two of his cronies. After parking his car, he came over and saw Sun Ziyi standing at the door welcoming guests.
As the fox friends walked in, they said, "Cheng, I heard that you are in love. When can you bring your little sister out to show me?"
Sun Ziyi pretended not to know Xu Zecheng, walked up to his friend, and asked, "How many customers are you?"
Xu Zecheng didn't expect to see Sun Ziyi. He stretched out three fingers and then slowly added another one...
All his friends turned to look at Xu Zecheng and asked, "Who's the fourth one?"
Sun Ziyi remained calm and said into the microphone on his collar, "Dismissal 618."
Xu Zecheng turned around and asked the lobby manager, "Can I treat your waitress to a meal? I'll pay her salary today when I pay the bill."
The lobby manager took three seconds to react, glanced at Sun Ziyi and said, "If Xiao Sun is happy, go ahead."
Sun Ziyi smiled awkwardly, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing this, Xu Zecheng's friends whispered to him, "What if your wife knew about this? ...Is this okay?"
Xu Zecheng didn't care whether Sun Ziyi answered or not, he just pulled her into the house and sat down in the 618 private room.
Xu Zecheng turned around and said to the two people behind him, "Let me introduce you. This is your younger brother and sister."
Sun Ziyi smiled awkwardly and said hi to them, then whispered in Xu Zecheng's ear, "Actually, I can just pretend, you don't have to act so seriously..."
Fox Friend looked at her and asked, "Is this the person you were talking about? Are you two a couple..."
Sun Ziyi and Xu Zecheng were both silent for a while. After a while, Gouyou punched Hupeng and shouted, "Of course they are. What a perfect match, this handsome man and beautiful woman."
Sun Ziyi said silently, "Why don't you sit down and place an order... Just scan the code, and I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some fried meat."
She wanted to leave, but Xu Zecheng grabbed the corner of her apron and said, "Are you here to experience life in the hot pot restaurant again?"
Sun Ziyi tried to please him as if he were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that he would be angry. Sun Ziyi asked, "You don't like hot pot restaurants? Then I'll change to another one next time."
Xu Zecheng asked, "Don't I like hot pot restaurants? Last time you went to the garment factory, I told you that you had to tell me. Every time I messaged you, you said you were busy. If I hadn't bumped into you, you would have fainted before the lobby manager could be considered happy, right?"
Sun Ziyi turned around and grabbed back the edge of his apron, saying, "Don't be angry, I really didn't mean it."
This conversation made Sun Ziyi's friends think that she was some rich girl who really came out to experience life.
Hu Peng asked: "Um, what does my sister-in-law do?"
Sun Ziyi laughed and said, "I do some freelance work, working here and there."
Xu Zecheng was not satisfied with her answer, fearing that she was underestimating herself, so he quickly said, "The play that XXX starred in a while ago was written by her. She is the screenwriter."
The dog friend exclaimed, "What a talented woman!"
Xu Zecheng opened a bottle of Sprite and handed it to Sun Ziyi, "Yes, she was very powerful when we were little."
The friends were obviously very sociable, and the atmosphere during the meal was not awkward. However, the three of them originally wanted to go for a drink, but now two of them said they wanted to give the young couple some independent space, so the plan was canceled.
When Xu Zecheng brought Sun Ziyi out, the lobby manager also noticed something was going on between them and said hurriedly, "Xiao Sun, if you have something to do, you can leave work early today."
Sun Ziyi bowed and apologized, and Xu Zecheng said thank you and walked out.
After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, they finally breathed a breath of fresh air. Xu Zecheng was already used to her movements, so he pulled her out.
Xu Zecheng parked his car in the garage of the building across the street. He dragged her across the street, taking photos of the streets of Sanlitun and asking for promotions on WeChat. But nothing stopped Xu Zecheng. He didn't say a word until they entered the underground garage and got into the car. Then he turned and asked Sun Ziyi, "Where did you live after returning to Beijing?"
Sun Ziyi said, "I live in Daxing."
As she spoke, she turned on the navigation.
Along the way, both of them were silent, no one spoke until the navigation ended. Sun Ziyi said, "I'm leaving," and was about to get out of the car, but Xu Zecheng suddenly locked the car. She turned her head and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Xu Zecheng said slowly, "We are in a fake relationship, right?"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Zecheng didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand in front of her and took out a brand new e-cigarette from the passenger seat and gave it to her.
Xu Zecheng said, "I always feel that you can't express your discomfort. E-cigarettes are not harmful. Just smoke when you have nothing to do. You need an outlet for your emotions. Don't always rely on fortune-telling to relieve your worries."
Sun Ziyi held the box of e-cigarettes stiffly, wondering whether to thank him or how to react.
"Actually, I don't have any emotions~" After she said this, she didn't hear Xu Zecheng speak for a long time.
To ease the awkwardness, she forced a smile and unpacked the cigarette box, saying, "I didn't even know when you bought this for me."
"I didn't buy it for you. I bought it for myself." Xu Zecheng said slowly.
Sun Ziyi stopped dismantling the e-cigarette and looked at him.
Xu Zecheng turned off the car. "When you're not looking for me, I always wonder what you're doing. When I get tired of thinking about it, I go smoke. Today, I thought about it and realized that maybe our relationship was unclear from the beginning. I might have been a little serious, and you just wanted to ask me for help."
He continued, "So I think if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to smoke so many cigarettes, so this cigarette is for you today."
Sun Ziyi was confused by his tricks and finally asked, "...If I'm not around, you don't have to smoke?"
Xu Zecheng reached out and pressed the unlock button, and a loud unlocking sound came from the car.
Xu Zecheng looked at her slowly and said, "Let's break up. You make me anxious and worried."
The atmosphere in the car froze for a moment. Sun Ziyi quickly went over this sentence in his mind ten times. After reacting, Sun Ziyi reached out and locked the passenger door again.
Xu Zecheng was stunned for a moment, then opened it again, and she closed it again.
Xu Zecheng got excited and opened the door again, and she closed it again.
Xu Zecheng pulled out the car keys and threw them into her arms. "Okay, drive now."
After getting off the car, he walked across the street, trying to stop a car.
Sun Ziyi felt that the story happened too quickly, so she couldn't react. She subconsciously got out of the car and shouted in the direction Xu Zecheng left, "I will never fucking break up with you!"
The two looked at each other across the street. Sun Ziyi suddenly realized, isn't this the Korean drama plot he had always dreamed of?
