Chengxi Film and Television City.

Two o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time is seven o'clock in the morning in France.

After finishing filming and removing her makeup, Sheng Yuan prepared to return to Xuyang. In another hour, Zizi would call her via video.

Recently, Beijing has entered the rainy season as if it were the opposite of the season. The temperature dropped by ten degrees and the intermittent rain only stopped in the afternoon.

The sunlight in the sky was dim and dull, the sky was very low, and the moisture in the air became humid, touching the skin, making people feel cold and shivering.

The road from the film and television city to Xuyang is very short. Sheng Yuan did not let the driver drive over. She wanted to walk back slowly by herself and kill some time on the road while waiting for the video call.

At this time, Sheng's mother called first. During the time he was in Chengxi Film and Television City, the family's phone line had actually never stopped contacting him.

In fact, there is a special person who records Sheng Yuan's current situation every day without affecting her normal life, and then makes a daily report and sends it back to the Sheng family. Sheng's father and mother will never feel at ease when their daughter has to stay away from home for such a long time.

On the other end of the phone, Sheng's mother's voice was as gentle as water. She scolded this heartless boy for playing outside for so long and why he didn't think of going home to visit. The old father at home was almost in tears.

A black Bentley drove quietly on the asphalt road which was wet with raindrops.

The inky rear window was not closed tightly.

The man held the script in his palm. The pages with black words on a white background were filled with dense analysis and notes. A cool breeze rushed in, brushing across the man's silver-gray pupils and nose.

The scattered hair on his forehead was blown up a little, and Xu Lizhi raised his cold eyes casually, and his sight happened to fall on the girl who was walking slowly and casually on the roadside two meters away from the car.

The girl was wearing a pink short plush jacket, her soft and shiny hair was loose, she had a white mask on her face, and her grey trousers were loose to her waist. She was tall and slender, full of a vivid sense of slimness.

She was dressed quite thickly and wrapped herself tightly, but it was not because of her identity as a "female star". After all, no female star would make a phone call on the side of the street.

The man looked at the shoes with thin velvet edges on her feet. She was simply cold.

It was very strange. She was clearly wearing a mask covering her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. Xu Lizhi recognized her as the actress named Sheng Yuan in the crew at a glance.

His eyes moved from her shoes upwards, and finally landed on the wrist where she held the phone, sticking out from the pink sleeve. It was thin and white, and so fragile that it seemed like it would break if it was bent.

As the cars passed by.

Xu Lizhi heard her voice coming from the white mask. The girl's voice couldn't cover up the sweetness, and it was a little soft at this time. She was talking to the other end of the phone.

"I know, mom. I'll be home tomorrow."

She seemed bored as she spoke, and even touched the green branches in the green belt of the film and television city, brushing the topmost leaves with her fingertips.

Xu Lizhi only had time to take a look at the leaf before the car drove past it, completely passing by the pink figure. Just as he realized that he had been distracted while reading the script, he frowned and tried to focus again -

Before he could completely withdraw his gaze, it was attracted by two Volkswagens coming towards him.

Xu Lizhi's excellent memory allowed him to remember instantly that these were the two cars that sped away from the club's parking exit that night.

That’s right, it can be identified just by the license plate number.

But why did these two cars appear here, in the film and television city? They appeared in two completely different occasions by coincidence.

That night, they were following a Rolls-Royce Dazzle, and now - Xu Lizhi raised his hand as if possessed by a ghost and completely pressed down the half-open window, then glanced behind the car.

I saw that pink figure again.

Normally, a car would not drive so slowly. The person in the driver's seat was so leisurely that he stepped on the accelerator and brake at the same time, even slower than a person walking.

Obviously, it seemed to be accommodating, accommodating the pink figure in front.

…

When they were almost at the entrance of the film and television city, Sheng Yuan repeatedly assured them that she would go home tomorrow before the call was over.

She just put down her phone.

Then I heard a quarrel coming from not far away.

"It's really just a simple skin disease. It can be easily cured. Please tell Sister Ning not to throw it away. The temperature will drop soon. If you throw it away, it will die."

The girl cried helplessly, but the other person was completely unmoved and said in a harsh voice: "What are you talking about? Sister Ning is busy filming in there. Besides, you said it was a simple skin disease, but don't you know that ringworm in animals can be contagious to humans?"

"If Sister Ning gets infected, can you take responsibility and bear the consequences?"

Sheng Yuan looked up and saw two girls standing in front of the gate of the film and television city. One of them was holding something that looked like a pet airline box. She was obviously the girl who had just spoken in a crying voice.

At this time, she looked at the other girl and shook her head pleadingly: "No, no, I can take care of it. I will never let it come into contact with Sister Ning before it heals. Please don't throw it away, okay?"

As a result, I got a sarcastic reply: "You take care of it, fine, then you take care of it, then you should take it to the veterinary hospital and take good care of it."

The man curled his lips in disdain: "If you go, don't come back."

The girl's face turned pale and she bit her lip: "I, I don't have any money..."

She dropped the airline box in her hand to the ground with great effort. She felt desperate and helpless.

She had finally interviewed for this job as an artist intern assistant. The rent had to be paid soon and she needed this job. How could she have the extra money to go to the veterinary hospital when she could barely take care of herself?

If Sister Ning doesn't care, then there's really nothing we can do.

She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Another girl couldn't bear to see her crying, and rolled her eyes to the sky: "Hurry up and throw it in the trash can. Sister Ning has sent us a message. Don't let me get involved if you commit suicide."

"Hurry up! The trash can is in--"

Just when the girl was impatiently pointing her finger in a certain direction.

"How much."

A sweet and low voice interrupted her.

The two girls looked up at the same time, and were both stunned by the beautiful girl in front of them.

I couldn't see her entire face. To be more precise, I was amazed by her eyes that were exposed outside the white mask. I could tell that she didn't wear any eye makeup or pupils.

A pair of extremely standard almond-shaped eyes, with long and soft eyelashes, and pupils that are transparent light brown, clean and clear.
