Chapter 80 Missing You (Revised) She is not here, she is everywhere...
After returning to the hotel where Qiao Zheng was staying, she went into the bathroom to take a shower first. Qiao Zhizheng was still busy packing the suitcase and taking out the items he had brought specially for Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng came out of the bathroom drying her hair after taking a shower. Seeing the red bottle in Qiao Zhizheng's hand, she asked in surprise, "Why did you bring fermented tofu?"
"The dishes here are all sweet and spicy. I thought you wouldn't be used to it, so I brought a can when you came."
"And this. When I was filming, there was a small market nearby where someone was selling these bobblehead figurines. I thought they looked pretty interesting, so I gave her a photo of us and asked her to make one for me."
"Look, just put the batteries in. It's working, it's working."
Qiao Zheng squatted beside her, looking at the bobblehead ornament in her hand - a thing half the size of a palm, with a battery slot underneath and an acrylic crystal plate fixed in the shape of a pony. On the Internet, it was a picture of Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng with their heads leaning against each other. As long as the battery had power, their heads would shake back and forth on the small ornament. Qiao Zheng thought it was a bit childish and a bit cute.
Qiao Zhizheng watched her staring at the little ornament without blinking, her eyes curved and her lips curled up. "I knew you would like it too."
“A great gift.”
Qiao Zhizheng was still pulling out an old, out-of-print book, a dried flower specimen, a small, irregular pearl, a Stella Lou puzzle...
The items taken out were of different kinds, some were even unrelated, and Qiao Zhizheng enthusiastically recounted their origins.
"This book tells stories about ancient Greek mythology."
"This flower was just a small bud when I sent you away from Huadu. When you came back this evening, it had already bloomed. I wanted to keep it so that you could witness its most beautiful moment."
"There was a small river where we were filming. I found a clam in it and it opened up a pearl. Although the quality wasn't great, it was a pearl from a clam! It was the first time I'd ever seen one!"
"I see you haven't played with the Rubik's Cube much. You can do a jigsaw puzzle when you're bored."
…
A bunch of ordinary little gadgets, but given unique meaning because of the seriousness of the person in front of them.
They represent Qiao Zhizheng's longing. When Qiao Zhizheng sees flowers, she will think of Qiao Zheng. When she sees interesting things but cannot share them with Qiao Zheng, she will miss her very much.
Especially when she returned home at night, washed up and was about to go to the bed, she subconsciously wanted to take a look at what step Qiao Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the bed, was on with her Rubik's Cube. The moment she looked up, she remembered that Qiao Zheng no longer played with the Rubik's Cube. Seeing the empty headboard, she remembered that Qiao Zheng had gone out of town. Qiao Zhizheng was lying dejectedly on the bed. There seemed to be Qiao Zheng's breath in the quilt, as if Qiao Zheng was hugging her, but her mind was clearly aware that this was an illusion. At this time, Qiao Zhizheng missed her the most.
The advantage of staying in Huadu to film is that you can go home every day, and the disadvantage of staying in Huadu to film is also that you can go home every day.
If you are alone, home is a haven for rest, but when you have someone to rely on, even though she is not at home, she is everywhere.
Qiao Zheng looked in one direction, feeling the invisible connection between the two of them. She wanted to make a video call, but she felt that if she could only touch the cold screen, her heart would feel even emptier.
Since you feel so empty, then find the source of the emptiness to fill it.
Take these little things I bought and travel thousands of miles to meet her.
After Qiao Zhizheng had almost put away the pile of messy little things, she went in to take a shower.
When I came out, I saw Qiao Zheng lying in the quilt with only her head sticking out.
Qiao Zhizheng threw away the cashmere towel in her hand, quickened her pace and walked over to lift her quilt.
In her opinion, a long separation is better than a new marriage, and it would be a shame to not have a hot night together for this short reunion.
Qiao Zhizheng was stunned by being humiliated.
...As expected of Qiao Zheng.
The sheets and quilt covers are icy white, with a warm jade-like white flowing on the icy white. A thin and intricate gold chain falls on this white. I don’t know whether it is the golden light of the chain that is dazzling, or the warm white light that is dazzling.
Qiao Zheng wore a pink satin choker around her neck. The choker was sewn with tiny pearls, and there was a small bow in the middle of the pearls.
Qiao Zheng changed her posture, supporting her head with her left hand and slightly raising her body. The thumb and index finger of her right hand gently twisted the tail of the bow. Half of her long hair was draped over her chest, hiding the red beans, and the other half fell behind her. She looked lazy, her eyes charming, and she uttered two words softly in a breath like silk: "Gift~"
Qiao Zhizheng gladly accepted Qiao Zheng's gift.
The butterfly fluttered up and down, and the thin gold chain was thrown high into the air and wrapped around the butterfly's wings. The butterfly struggled and fell down with the gold chain.
The butterfly's final destination is to fall to the ground along with the golden chain.
The clouds dissipated and the rain stopped. Qiao Zheng leaned on Qiao Zhizheng's shoulder. She glanced at "Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng" who were still "running" on horseback on the bedside table and chuckled.
In a tender moment, Qiao Zhizheng told Qiao Zheng a piece of good news that had been forgotten in the corner, "'If It Doesn't Rain Tomorrow' has been nominated for the Golden Goose Award for Best Supporting Actress. Li Jingzhu said it has a high chance of winning."
"Another Me" was nominated for Best Actress last year, but too many things happened at the end of last year, and the waves in the entertainment industry were too big. Under the deliberate suppression of some people with ulterior motives and the avoidance of the award organizers, this matter was quietly suppressed.
Although I knew that there was a high probability that I would be a runner-up, I still felt regretful that I didn't get to see those few short seconds of the screen introduction on the podium.
But this year is different. Qiao Zhizheng is full of confidence. He has prepared his acceptance speech in advance and is ready to give the speech on stage at any time.
What if the result is just a runner-up?
No. Believe me, I will win the award.
Qiao Zheng paused while stroking Qiao Zhizheng's head, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Qiao Zhizheng said as a matter of course, "Yes, I want you to be with me at such an important moment. I will give it to you as soon as I win the award."
Qiao Zheng continued to move her hands, a gentle, not too heavy, pressure sending tingling sensations across her scalp. She felt so comfortable that her insteps stretched and her toes blossomed. Trying her best to suppress the trembling in her voice, she spoke as steadily as possible, "I know you've won many awards, including three Best Actress trophies. I know mine aren't that big. Just wait for me, two more years. This time you won Best Supporting Actress, and next time I'll give you the Best Actress trophy."
If you want to be a woman worthy of the title of "Three Golden Film Queen", it is not enough to just talk about it. Qiao Zhizheng has been working hard for it.
The road to success is difficult to replicate.
Qiao Zheng's journey has never been smooth sailing. She is either being scolded or on the way to being scolded. Her fans are constantly changing, from fans to haters, from haters to fans, from supporters to haters, and from haters to supporters. The fans who remain are extremely powerful and the most loyal.
As Qiao Zhizheng has walked along the road, there has been a big net called Qiao Zheng covering her world, blocking the bad things out and filtering the good things in. Her fans are also gentle and friendly, and have unexpectedly strong cohesion.
Fate had already taken a fork in the road when the two met. Qiao Zheng felt very fulfilled as she watched Qiao Zhizheng's life become brand new under her protection.
Through the window, you can see the sky full of stars. Time passes, things change, but the starlight remains the same for many years, as if it has never changed.
The starlight flows backwards from ten years later to ten years ago, the passion in our hearts remains and the starlight always shines brightly.
"The separation is only temporary."
After saying this, Qiao Zhizheng sighed.
Qiao Zheng hooked her pinky finger with hers and drew a semicircle in the air.
After his attention was drawn, Qiao Zhizheng's disappointment also subsided a little.
But it was only a little bit. Looking at the nonchalant Qiao Zheng, he said, "I don't even want to go back to Huadu."
Qiao Zheng knew that Qiao Zhizheng was just saying that, so she just followed her words and said, "Then stay."
Qiao Zhizheng's sense of responsibility made her shake her head with difficulty, and she joked, "If I really stay here, do you believe that Chen Yuzhi will fly over and take me back?"
Qiao Zheng smiled and said, "It sounds like a young couple running away and their parents disapproving."
Qiao Zhizheng immediately cooperated and lowered her voice, "You are the only one I have, please don't let me down."
Qiao Zheng suppressed her laughter and said solemnly, "I'll go to the construction site and move bricks to support you."
The image of Qiao Zheng, covered in dust and wearing a hard hat, pushing a dust cart immediately emerged in Qiao Zhizheng's mind. He didn't say the construction site was bad, and every penny earned through legitimate means was right. He was just used to Qiao Zheng's glamorous appearance. Thinking of it this way, he had the humor of a beautiful kitten that fell into the dust and became dirty, but still tried hard to say it wanted to support its owner.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Qiao Zhizheng gently stroked Qiao Zheng's hand, and within a few seconds, their fingers were intertwined, with no gap between them.
Qiao Zheng stretched out her free hand and gently placed it on Qiao Zhizheng's waist.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be no filming in this timeline."
"?Why?"
Yes, why? Because there’s already a Qiao Zhizheng here, and there’s no need for another similar person to be active in the entertainment industry.
There are too many opinions online.
Some people scolded Qiao Zheng, some scolded Qiao Zhizheng, and some scolded both of them together. If you put them all together and organize them together, everyone has different ideas, which can easily lead the topic into a whirlpool of public opinion.
Qiao Zheng was used to hearing these words, but she didn't want Qiao Zhizheng to hear them.
Qiao Zheng said, "I'm going to make some money. Xu Xunzhen has made some new progress recently. I believe holographic games will be launched soon, and then gradually spread to other fields."
"Is it more profitable than acting?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Boss Qiao, I'm determined to hold you as my thigh."
"Then Mr. Qiao asked you to go to bed early, will you go to bed?"
"Okay, okay... Eh? It's already so late?! Go to sleep and get enough rest. You still have filming tomorrow."
Qiao Zheng was probably filming on the set during the day, and then she came back to "film" in the hotel. She had consumed too much energy, so she tightened her arms, pressed the person in her arms a little closer to her, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After a while, Qiao Zhizheng said softly, "I'm so tired..."
Martial arts scenes consume a lot of energy, and Qiao Zheng doesn't like to eat much, so her energy is not replenished enough and she gets tired quickly.
Qiao Zhizheng closed his eyes and fell asleep with Qiao Zheng.
The next day, Qiao Zheng and the director took half a day off to see Qiao Zhizheng off at the airport. When they came back, they saw the small gadgets Qiao Zhizheng had brought with her on the table in their rented hotel room. It felt like she was still here and hadn't left.
Qiao Zheng's heart suddenly felt empty, and she began to understand how Qiao Zhizheng felt when she came home every day and saw an empty bedroom.
She's not here, she's everywhere.
It seemed that the next moment, the tightly closed bathroom door would suddenly open, revealing Qiao Zhizheng's brilliant smile.
Missing this thing is so torturous.
