Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Beep beep beep—police.
Outside the chairman's office on the top floor of Yating Group, Fu Mingya's secretary Lin Li raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The second season of the show "Change Your Life" was officially launched at 12 noon yesterday.
Not long after the show started, former child star Ji Ning made an appearance, sparking a lot of discussion online, with searches for her name skyrocketing.
The content published by one of the marketing accounts was very thoughtful.
The blogger edited a clip of Ji Ning's acting highlights when she was a child, which was very technical. A magical transition compared Ji Ning's current appearance with that of the past. The first half of the video brought people a feeling of the passing of time, and the second half was not abrupt. Under the sunlight, the corners of her lips were raised and her eyes curved into a crescent shape. She could vaguely find the shadow of her past. In addition, the background music was very suitable. Not long after the content was published, the platform gave traffic, and as a result, the blogger gained some fans.
The blogger was very emotional and wrote a short essay to express his feelings.
The gist is that her parents were busy with work when she was a child, and she lacked family companionship during her childhood. Most of the time, it was the characters on TV that accompanied her growing up. Unconsciously, each role played by this child star had a profound impact on her. Later, Ji Ning retired from the entertainment industry, and in the process of growing up, many memories were naturally diluted, and the blogger slowly forgot about this little idol from her childhood.
When I grew up, I happened to recall my childhood favorite star with my friends, and I went back to watch the drama again. I thought I would never know the current situation of my childhood idol, but I didn't expect to see the grown-up Ji Ning in this program.
The blogger's essay is very sincere. She wrote that when she was editing the video, she had been looking for clips about Ji Ning in this variety show as material. At that time, she found that the rumors from the outside world did not hinder Ji Ning's growth and progress. The blogger does not know what netizens think the child star Ji Ning will look like when she grows up, but in her opinion, Ji Ning should be like the classic little characters in her works, smart, brave, and full of strength.
[This variety show is full of big names, and Ji Ning had very few shots. But as the blogger said, although she had little room to perform, she still gave us some surprises.]
[The blogger spoke my mind! When the show started, as soon as I saw her, I was thinking, if the little sister Yuanbao in "Go Far Away" grew up, she would probably look like this. It felt like little sister Yuanbao was living a good life in a parallel world, which was very touching. ]
[The blogger is a true fan, so sincere. 】
【So who said that we Ningning have no fans! 】
In the comment section, everyone praised the blogger's editing skills and provided her with editing ideas and urged her to update.
Not long after, the blogger responded to the netizen's comment.
The blogger said that maybe it was a copyright issue, the video was suddenly restricted, and the official required it to be removed from the shelves for rectification. The editing was just for fun, and similar works will probably not be released in the future.
There are many replies under this comment.
It turns out that this is not the first time that the same situation has occurred. In the early years, some small marketing accounts released clips of Ji Ning's classic childhood works and were also restricted.
[What do you mean? I'm a little confused. ]
[So is Ji Ning some kind of unspeakable person? ]
[Someone is covering their mouth? So should my post disappear in a while?]
[How strange, let’s take another look.]
"Mr. Fu," Lin Li said, "Are you sure you want to contact the main title sponsor of the show?"
The variety show industry is in a downturn, investment is shrinking, and many projects have died in the planning stage. The first season of "Change Life" was a hit, but the second season went through a rectification storm. Although the guest lineup was strong, no one could guarantee that the show would be popular again, so investors also took a wait-and-see attitude.
In such circumstances, the program's main sponsor has relative say.
From the official announcement of the program to Ji Ning's participation in the program recording, Fu Mingya put pressure on her. Even until the second before the program officially started, Fu Mingya thought that Ji Ning would not let her down.
Apparently, it was Ji Ning's gentle and well-behaved appearance during the past four years that gave her the illusion.
"Mr. Fu——" Lin Li hesitated to speak.
Fu Mingya glanced at her.
Lin Li hesitated for a long time before expressing her concerns.
They are just two amateur guests. If they are replaced, the impact will not be that big. At most, it will cause heated discussions online for a few days, but time will dilute everything.
The program's title sponsor was naturally happy to give Ms. Fu this honor.
"But if you insist on doing this, the relationship between you and the young lady will become even worse."
There was no emotion in Fu Mingya's eyes.
She gave Ji Ning a chance.
But perhaps it was because Ji Ning had not suffered much since childhood that she could act so recklessly.
It has been less than 24 hours since the show officially started. Netizens are very resourceful and have uncovered the so-called secrets of the wealthy families, which are close to the truth.
If things continue like this, from now on, when people mention the Ya Ting Group, they will only think of the scandal of the second-rate child star who grew up and had unmarried children, and the children who were abducted...
Even some more unbearable past events.
"What time is the appointment?" Fu Mingya asked.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon."
Fu Mingya glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time. Let's get ready."
…
"I'm not three and a half years old!"
After the words were spoken, Zhuzhu's expression gradually became determined.
But such certainty became confused because there was no response.
Three years and four months, three years and five months, three years and six months?
Zhuzhu's two little fleshy hands stretched out three fingers on one side and made four, five, and six on the other side, which was quite flexible.
[Hahahaha, is this a new type of Morse code? ]
【Information is being transmitted...】
[I am about to faint from Zhuzhu’s cuteness! 】
[Baby is not sure, here we suggest that baby download an anti-fraud app for real-time monitoring, so he doesn’t have to learn it so hard. ]
Ji Ning raised her hand and rubbed Zhuzhu's round little head like she was kneading a dumpling.
What is going on in the mind of such a young baby?
She and Zhuzhu had only known each other for a short time, and it was difficult to simply brush off the three years that had been missed with the word "make up".
The relationship between mother and daughter relies on the natural bond, but many times, Ji Ning does not understand her and clumsily adapts to the role of mother, groping at every step.
"That's not right?" Zhuzhu tilted his head.
Little Tuanzi has been growing up in a terrible environment since he was abducted.
The baby who is used to being ignored is also used to trying to gain adults' attention by being more well-behaved and sensible. No one has ever taught her what to do, so whenever she encounters a problem, the first thing she does is doubt herself.
"That's right." Ji Ning pinched the puffy flesh on the baby's cheeks, "Smart baby."
【Wuwuwuwu, Zhuzhu's eyes suddenly lit up! 】
[Today is another child being praised! Reward the baby with a little red flower! ]
[Although our baby is small, she understands everything and she also wants to be recognized...]
[I give Ji Ning a perfect score for this. She probably felt sorry for Zhu Zhu during those few seconds of hesitation.]
There are also some netizens who are still obsessed with the side profile that was accidentally captured by the camera just now.
However, the guests from the leaf cleaning team had already come out, and they became the protagonists of the live broadcast room. Even the cameraman did not notice that he had just accidentally photographed the "guests" who came from afar.
But Director Tao, who has been paying attention to the growth of live broadcast room data, noticed this.
[Did some damn trafficker kidnap my husband? Where did he go? Give him back to me!]
[Was that a fish that slipped through the net in the entertainment industry? ! ]
[Impossible! Based on my experience and perspective in the fan circle, such a top-notch person cannot be a nameless person.]
[It shouldn't be. He has the obvious aura of a superior, especially when combined with the followers and passers-by around him. He doesn't look like someone who works in the entertainment industry.]
Director Tao stood up and walked into the yard to look for the figure.
In the past, he had been in the industry for some years, but he never got the chance and was just a small shrimp. At that time, he had to do everything himself, no matter how big or small.
At that time, variety shows were at their peak and still had great advantages, but not every investor was willing to take the money. When faced with a new variety show director like him, the other party was also choosing. During the preparation stage, there was no sponsorship negotiation. When Tao Shaorong was at his lowest point, he met Jiang Cheng.
To be precise, it should be Jiang Cheng's parents. As investors, the two decision makers of Hecheng Group acted more conservatively and were still hesitating. It was Jiang Cheng's words after reading the plan that dispelled their doubts.
That was eight years ago. If I remember correctly, Jiang Cheng might have just become an adult at that time. He was not as powerful as he is now, but he was full of vigor and vitality. One word decided the survival of the project. Later, Director Tao asked people and found out that he had such absolute right to speak because he was the heir of the Hecheng Group and was trained as a successor since he was a child. His unique vision was recognized by the board of directors.
Later, the variety show became a big hit and Tao Shaorong was promoted from assistant director to chief director.
He didn't expect that he would meet Jiang Cheng again here.
…
Jiang Cheng came with the answer to the question.
During the years when Ji Ning disappeared, searching for her seemed to have become a part of life.
All the identity information she had given in the past was fictitious. Everything related to her disappeared in the past four years.
Jiang Cheng never doubted it until he saw her face on TV.
The Ya Ting Group released a statement last night about adopting Zhu Zhu, but the statement was deleted shortly after it was released.
At first, rumors were rife on the Internet, but overnight, almost all news related to this disappeared.
After knowing her real name, it is not difficult to investigate information related to her.
亞亭集團的千金，紀凝。
即便北城紀家低調，甚至因紀凝曾經童星的身份而刻意抹去許多對外的消息，但越遮掩，越是欲蓋彌彰。
并不是殺豬盤。
殺豬盤是為了騙錢，人家紀大小姐，只玩弄感情。
此時，江乘的腳步不再向前，只是面無表情，望着紀凝的背影。
枯黃的葉子紛紛掉落。
根本就掃不完，紀凝提着掃帚，躲到鏡頭盲區。這顯而易見的偷懶行為，戳中網友們笑點，攝像大哥也知道大家愛看什麽，扛着攝像頭直接就跟過去了。
只留下竹竹小朋友，獨自兢兢業業，勤勤懇懇地掃落葉。
注意到有人過來時，小團子轉頭望過去。
午後陽光暖洋洋的，卻有些刺眼，那人的個子好高，竹竹仰着臉，小脖子都要發酸。
呆呆萌萌的崽崽落了單，安全教育小課堂裏的知識點在腦海中閃回。
那些有關于個人信息的問題，她已經在心底對答如流——
不叫竹竹、不是三歲半、媽媽不叫紀凝、不是住在節目組的三號房！
文特助走上前。
他剛要開口詢問小朋友一些問題，卻被制止。
文特助疑惑地望向江先生，到底不敢輕舉妄動。
“你好。”
江乘有着低沉好聽的聲音。
竹竹歪頭。
刺眼陽光灑落，黑葡萄一般的眼睛不由半眯起來，臉蛋便更像一顆很好捏的小桃子。
心底的答案，已經預設。
網友們關注的親子鑒定資料，提醒了江乘。再順着這個方向調查，紀凝曾入院，兩個月後，紀家報警，稱孩子失蹤。
按照時間推算，失蹤嬰兒就是現在的竹竹。
而竹竹，很有可能是他的孩子。
至于那天在酒店見面，紀凝假裝不認識他，是擔心他來搶孩子。
這就是網上所說，給小孩挑選一個父親，而後去父留子？用上假身份，證明早有目的，這樣一來，邏輯通了。
于是四年前的恩怨，成了一筆糊塗賬。
但又并不是一切都有合理的解釋——
孩子出生後的兩個月，紀凝再次入院。她出國散心，一走就是三年年頭，沒有回來，也不再追查孩子的下落。
雖符合他對她的認知，任性、自私、極度不負責任……
可不管玩什麽，都應該有個度。
想到這裏，江乘的眸光冷了些。
直到小團子思考過後認為，不能和陌生人說話，可問好是最基本的禮貌，奶聲奶氣地開口。
“你好哇。”
江乘的心軟了一下。
他微微俯身，這是從未有過的心情，或許應該學着更溫和一些，才不會吓到孩子。
目前來看，一切懷疑，都只是基于最離譜荒唐的猜測。
就算懷疑屬實，後續還有一系列麻煩事要處理，他也會盡可能地，不影響孩子。
更不能傷害孩子。
江乘擡了擡手，也不知道該怎麽和小朋友打招呼才夠溫柔，大手落到她的腦袋瓜子上。
大手落下，擋住落在竹竹眼底的陽光。
小團子眨了眨眼，可愛的小米牙都要露出來時，定睛一看。
看完江乘，她又轉頭去看文特助。
現實生活遠比影視劇狗血。
文特助的一系列反應都慢了半拍，卻也察覺到江先生在懷疑什麽，此時面對眼前的崽崽，咧開嘴露出一個最和善的笑容。
說不定崽崽是将來的小老板呢……
然而，在文特助露出标準八顆大牙之後，竹竹的小臉，瞬間垮了下去。
竹竹認出來了。
這是上回酒店抓着媽媽胳膊的叔叔！
後來，媽媽還找保安了呢！
可愛的臉蛋，即便是垮着，仍舊毫無殺傷力。
可這不妨礙她回憶媽媽所說的氣勢逼人臉該怎麽演，小短腿踢着，仿佛踢出了正步，轉身時，大步流星，遠離這個地方。
媽媽在安全教育講堂上說過了，遇到壞人，更不能露怯。
要表現出最勇敢的樣子，才能在短時間內，以氣勢吓退對方。
竹竹越走越遠、越走越遠……
直到慢慢走近媽媽，才安心下來，放松地小眉頭舒展。
安全教育小課堂，畢業！
而身後，江乘望着竹竹離開的背影。
小身影很忙，也不知道在忙什麽。
決絕、冷酷、頭也不回！
和她媽媽一樣。
同時，攝影大哥扛着器材凱旋，鏡頭又不經意帶到江乘臉上。
【剛才竹竹——等一下，又看見帥哥了，我剛才想說啥來着！（doge）】
【啊，他好像要碎了。】
小團子發現可疑人物，邁着“噔噔噔噔”的步子去找靠山。
軟軟糯糯的懷抱襲來。
紀凝差點沒站穩，等聽清楚她的話，視線望過去，落在江乘臉上。
他站在那兒，肩寬腿長，眸光冷淡，清爽利落短發襯得輪廓分明的五官更加淩厲。
紀凝見過他，上回在酒店認錯人的，就是他。
四目相對時，陶導出來，快步越過紀凝和竹竹，笑容滿面地走到江乘面前。
“江先生！”
“不是啦。”紀凝收回目光，對竹竹解釋。
“巧合而已，那位應該是導演的朋友，來找導演叔叔敘舊的。”
……
陶韶榮熱情地招待了江乘。
當年還年輕，他畢業後獨自留在異鄉，最難的時候，交完房租連泡面都吃不起，咬緊牙關熬下去，也不知道什麽時候才是個頭。從起初認為自己的才華得不到施展，再到後期，懷疑自己壓根沒有才華，陶韶榮甚至打算熬到年底，就回老家找一份踏實的工作，安穩度日算了。可沒想到，就是在那個節骨眼上，他遇見貴人。
雖然……
貴人早已忘記他。
綜藝寒冬，現在的項目，是越來越難做了。
陶韶榮并不清高，深知再好的內容輸出，也需要真正的實力作為資本底氣，在這樣的大環境下，多個人脈多條路，因此——
他直接給江先生把茶給泡上了。
陶韶榮談起當年，也說起對鶴乘集團的感激。
他後續手中的項目，自然不止這麽一個，甚至還有一些構思，在腦海中形成了雛形。陶導聽着，按照江先生的意思，近年來，集團将重心放在海外市場份額的拓展上。
但陶導并不想錯過這難得的機會。
“其實節目的錄制還是很有意思的。”陶韶榮說。
“你看，這邊的每一個屏幕，代表着每一個直播間。”
“除了把控節目的節奏和呈現出的效果以外，還有時刻關注網友們的反饋。”
“如果江先生有時間，可以親自感受一下，就當是度假，要是能給我們節目組提供寶貴的意見，那就更好了。”
八年前那檔節目，江乘并沒有來探班。八年後的今天，曾經的少年，成長為如今內斂沉靜的模樣，不茍言笑，氣場迫人。
陶韶榮以為自己的邀請，必然會被拒絕，可沒想到的是，他竟接受了。
“陶導。”副導演急急忙忙地過來，都還沒看清邊上的人，就說道，“勸退這活兒，你丢給我，直接就不管了？剛才我找紀凝，半天沒好意思開口，還是她自己先猜到的。”
話音落下，副導演才意識江乘與文特助的存在。
陶導擺擺手，讓他先出去。
江乘：“勸退？”
提起這件事，陶韶榮就一個頭兩個大。
就在剛才，他接到主贊助商的電話，要求素人嘉賓退出節目錄制。其實這不是多為難的事，操作起來也是可行的，勸退紀凝和竹竹，對外則表示兩位素人因私人原因無法繼續參與後續節目的直播，再另外換一組素人嘉賓頂上，就能高效處理這個問題。
但是，陶韶榮心裏還是不樂意。
一開始，他以為紀凝只能打一個情懷牌，就連觀衆們也認為，素人嘉賓湊在一起，給出的節目效果一定悶上加悶。
然而沒想到，當節目正式錄制，偶爾跳脫的紀凝搭配有些膽怯的小不點，營造出讓人意外的火花與驚喜。節目開播沒多久，有關于她倆的話題度，成了網友們讨論的一大話題，就這樣把她們給換了，實在很可惜。
并且，兩位素人嘉賓，一個二十年前是自己的童年小女神，另外一個，則是嘉賓中唯一願意捧哏的暖心小甜瓜。
就算是出于私心，陶韶榮也不願意換掉她倆。
“好端端，為什麽要跟兩個素人過不去呢？”陶韶榮身不由己，感慨道，“也不知道她倆是得罪了誰。”
文特助豎起耳朵聽。
這些都是知識點，後續江總要考的。
而江乘，則透過玻璃窗，望向院子裏的紀凝。
她應該已經知道，自己即将退出節目的錄制。
大小姐百無聊賴，踩着地上的落葉，眼簾低垂，也不知道在想些什麽。
……
節目正式直播的第二天，嘉賓們都逐漸進入狀态。
只不過，這檔綜藝說是以探讨修複親密關系為主題，明眼人也看得出來，嘉賓雙方不願探讨，也不樂意修複。
【只願意賺通告費咯？】
【一點誠意都沒有，上節目，黑着臉就把錢拿了，這錢真好賺啊。】
【這又什麽好yygq的，戾氣沒必要這麽重吧……如果親密關系有數值，現在嘉賓們拿到的分數肯定是負分，節目組的修複，從負分開始，總得先找到一個契機和切入點。現在是堅冰融化的過程，大家不能多一點耐心嗎？】
【剛才節目組讓嘉賓們填寫題目卡，他們雖然不情不願，也還是配合了，這肯定是一個好的開始。】
【希望經過這段時間的錄制，嘉賓們能真正敞開心扉。】
下午的任務，大多是在休閑區做一些零七八碎的活兒。
很顯然，接下來的大部分時光，嘉賓們都将在這裏度過。
晚飯同樣由節目組準備，飯後，嘉賓們收到題目卡。
題目卡要求，每一組嘉賓填寫相識以來對方做過最讓自己感動的一件事。
題目卡上交時間，為明天早上。
至于現在到直播結束的兩個小時，則為自由活動時間。自由活動，也就意味着嘉賓們自由發揮，唯一需要遵守的規則，是必須與搭子綁定，不能單獨行動。
【紀凝和竹竹好像沒收到任務卡？剛才沒給她們分吧……】
【啊，我還想看寶寶答題來着。】
【她們和另外三組嘉賓不一樣啊，又不是為了修複關系來的。】
【不過我也想到一件奇怪的事，昨天彩蛋那張任務卡，就不提了嗎？就好像沒發生過似的，搞得我都懷疑自己是不是記錯了。】
【總感覺從掃落葉開始，凝凝和竹竹就被邊緣化了，鏡頭特別少。】
【吃晚飯的時候，鏡頭就根本沒帶到竹竹，如果不是崽崽小聲說‘好吃’，我都差點忘記她也在。】
【素人組人氣确實沒有其他組這麽高，但也不能區別對待得太過分吧。】
回到三號房，紀凝随手将昨天畫的任務卡丢到垃圾桶。
結束今天的錄制後，她和竹竹，将離開這檔節目。
小團子已經知道這個消息，似懂非懂，問媽媽可不可以把任務卡撿回來。
等到紀凝同意，她伸小手，将任務卡收好。
那上面畫着從前的媽媽，還有吐泡泡的嬰兒竹。
竹竹好喜歡。
房間裏有節目組準備的油畫棒。
紀凝教她畫畫，小手指胖胖短短，握着着天藍色的油畫棒，将泡泡吐成彩色……
孩子的眼睛清澈明亮，就像鏡子一樣。
缤紛世界成為畫作，竹竹的眼睛亮亮的，唇角揚起稚嫩笑容。
早上出門散落在床上的雜物亂七八糟。
竹竹要自覺整理時，被媽媽攔住。
下一秒，軟乎乎的寶寶躺倒，翹起小腳丫。
紀凝對她說了好多好多的話。
比如不用乖巧，不用懂事，就算是調皮一些，也不會被責怪。
“那會被丢掉嗎？”竹竹小聲問。
在趙家，大人們常說的話是，不聽話就趕走她。
竹竹牢牢記住，規避一切可能被趕走的風險，一天又一天。
可是現在，媽媽看着她的眼睛，說不會的。
“不會。”紀凝輕聲重複。
小團子揉了揉眼睛。
也許是前些天太累，現在不過七點，她的眼皮子就已經打架。
“竹竹永遠不會被丢掉。”
聽着媽媽這句話，竹竹終于放心地，進入夢鄉。
……
影後和兩位小花的直播間，人氣非常高，因為倆直播間已經并攏了，可以說是強強聯合。
潘思然有很多鬼點子，在聽到節目自由活動規則是不能單獨行動後，立馬就沖着方曼吟掃了一眼。她們互不搭理，又有詭異的默契，一同敲響三金影後的房門。
丁暮芸與向星晖抽到的房間本來就大。
這對夫妻，彼此之間雖相顧無言，卻都是好說話的人，熱情地招待了兩位小花旦，甚至向星晖還給她們準備了水果拼盤和點心，幾個人打趣，稱這是一場小型的茶話會。
【感覺姐姐好喜歡潘思然啊，經常給她逗得笑眯眯的。】
【她一口一個姐姐，一口一個姐夫，就是很讨喜啊！】
【這樣一看，方曼吟就呆頭呆腦的，連話都不太接得上，一點人情世故都不懂。不是說在這一圈混出名頭的都是人精嗎？我看她好木讷。】
【又不是選公關，還需要時時刻刻高情商發言嗎？方曼吟是優秀的演員，演什麽像什麽，這就足夠了。 】
刺頭兄妹不知道其他兩組已經抱團消磨時光。
他們倆在房間裏，各自選了個角落，背對着彼此，一聲都不吭。
“喂。”童之奇喊，“你在寫題目卡嗎？”
“沒寫。”童之樂說，“你能做過什麽讓我感動的事？根本沒有。”
當哥哥的，往椅背靠了一下，将題目卡丢到床上：“确實。”
妹妹童之樂順着抛物線的方向望去，擡了擡眼皮。
“你不寫了？”
“不寫。”
“你最好是真的不寫。”
童之奇長腿一疊，懶懶地靠在椅背上，雙手在後腦勺後随意撐着。
【啊啊啊啊！哥哥和平時好不一樣，吊兒郎當的樣子，除了舞臺上，生活中都沒見過。】
【松弛感拉滿，這個表情好欠扁，截圖截圖截圖！】
【之前一直覺得童之奇溫吞的快樂小狗性格不夠符合頂流特質，現在好了，對味兒！】
“別像小時候，說不願意寫作業，到學校門口又吓得哭鼻子，還得我給你擦——咳，善後。”
童之樂說完，把頭轉回去。
難得的，她哥哥沒有再回怼，直播間裏安靜了很長時間。
【哈哈哈哈哈來自親妹的無情爆料。】
【為什麽感覺哥哥的表情有點怪？好像不太自然。】
【照理說，那都是小時候的事情了，不應該啊……】
【所以他倆小時候感情應該還不錯吧？妹妹都會在哥哥哭鼻子的時候給他擦屁股耶。】
【文雅一點，是善後！妹妹都故意改口了，為這個節目的審核操碎了心！】
【借樓問一下，隔壁凝凝和竹竹的直播間怎麽是關着的？剛開始以為是設備調試問題，但現在都過去很久了，也沒有動靜，請問可以去哪裏反應？】
【@節目組，別拿我們素人組粉絲不當粉絲！（叉腰）】
……
房間裏沒有任何娛樂設備，甚至連信號都差。
紀凝将手機舉到頭頂，才能搜到一格信號，小圓圈轉個沒完，半天都顯出不出頁面。
她給竹竹蓋了小被子，起身出了門。
紀凝不敢走遠，獨自在門外的小道踱步。
最後，在門口小石階坐下。
秋夜有點涼，她仰着臉，望向天邊皎潔的明月。
沒有高樓大廈的遮擋，她好像很久很久，沒有看過月光。
“江先生，剛才和您提的項目——”陶韶榮送江乘離開。
半天沒等到老板回應，文特助好奇地看去。
原來江先生的目光，望向另一個方向。
又偶遇了。
陶韶榮：“江先生……”
“我會考慮。”江乘淡淡應了一聲，卻還沒收回視線。
夜裏起風了，有點冷。
紀凝獨自坐在門邊，雙手環着自己的手臂，下巴埋進臂彎，只露出一雙明亮的眼睛。
記憶中，她一直有着向上的生命力。
很少像現在這樣，蔫蔫兒的。
“媽媽。”
聽見奶聲奶氣的呼喚時，紀凝差點沒反應過來。
她回頭，看見一只手揉着眼睛，一只手抱着小被子的竹竹。
紀凝差點忘記，竹竹睡着時沒有安全感，會揪着自己的衣角。
剛才，應該是醒來之後，她發現自己不在，就跑了出來。
紀凝站起來，要牽小團子回房。
可還沒有完全睡醒的寶寶，變得懶懶的，坐在媽媽的身邊，小臉蛋蹭一蹭她的臂彎。
還是這樣的懷抱，最溫暖。
秋天的夜風吹來，也不再涼了，多了溫柔的撫慰。
月光靜悄悄的。
紀凝與竹竹并肩坐着，一人扯着小被子的一角。
紀凝以為，寶寶又睡着了。
她仰頭，望着漫天星光。
“媽媽，節目不錄了嗎？”
“對啊。”
竹竹是心思細膩的寶寶。
她依偎在媽媽懷裏，是安慰，也是陪伴。
江乘站在原地，眸光沉靜地望着這一幕。
她不開心。
直到手機鈴聲響起，他低頭看。
那是一條文字編輯的短信。
當年，紀凝因一起重大車禍入院，蘇醒後，她失去記憶，被安排出國。
直到半個月前才回北城。
……
此時，丁暮芸與向星晖房間的門開了。
夫婦倆站在門邊，非常客氣，與兩位小花揮手道別。
小花組的攝影姐姐跟上她倆。
無意間看見竹竹和紀凝，就坐在門邊。
兩位小花還不知道素人組嘉賓即将被換下的消息。
剛要和她倆打招呼，就見她們“騰”一下站起來。
“竹竹，有沒有聽見那邊的聲音？”
【啊啊啊啊啊我們小竹寶！想死ee啦！】
【竹竹剛睡醒嗎？聲音奶呼呼的，像吃了奶片兒。】
【紀凝的眼圈怎麽有點紅？】
不遠處的大樹後，顯然有動靜。
紀凝拉着崽崽的手：“我們去看看。”
前邊好黑，但有動靜。
而後，紀凝打開手機手電筒。
一束強烈的光射去。
【哔哔哔——警察喔。】
【小賊！哪裏跑！】
Zhuzhu was wrapped up in a soft little quilt, with only her round head and the cute little tufts on it showing.
"Who is it?" Ji Ning shouted into the darkness.
Zhu Zhu's firm voice also rang out: "Who is it?"
Jiang Cheng, Special Assistant Wen and Director Tao walked out of the darkness.
Standing in the glare of a flashlight.
As if under arrest.
Netizens: …
What is going on?
Ji Ning shook the flashlight to create a rhythm.
It's like watching a concert.
The three of them:?
Jiang Cheng was dazzled, and at the same time his eyes were attracted by the little dumpling who rushed to the front.
Zhuzhu's eyes were closed, and her eyelids and eyelashes were trembling.
Both hands were clenched into round fists at the sides of the body, and the whole chubby face was exerting force.
【Baby: Tell my mom, I’m not a coward! 】
[But mom, this is really scary, wuwuwu/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~]
