Who wants to sit at the same table as you? I want to eat with Xie Yuancheng and watch the fish next to us.
"Sir, let's skip this one. It's my wife's birthday today, and we'd like to celebrate together."
"Oh, I see. Remember the business card I gave you? Our film has been postponed, and the male lead hasn't been cast yet."
"Know."
Xie Yuancheng said a lot of nice things to him, and mentioned that his work schedule was very tight. He inquired about our accommodation and said he would visit us when he had time. Xie Yuancheng gave us a random address, and only left after his people urged him to.
We were finally able to be alone together. The private room was small but very quiet, and usually no one would walk by because we were sitting at the last seat.
“Yuancheng, you’re not allowed to go. Filming requires you to hug and kiss actresses, and there might even be other scenes.”
What is filming?
I searched for the actors on my phone and showed them to him. He shook his head repeatedly after looking at them: "How could they like wearing our clothes? Isn't that just suffering?"
"Fame means money. An actor or star can earn more from just one movie than many ordinary people earn in a lifetime."
“I understand. It’s similar to being an opera singer, but the opera singers in our area don’t earn much money and can’t even support themselves.”
Xie Yuancheng smiled as he opened the menu to order. He placed the order on his tablet, and the restaurant could see it in the backstage, so there was no need for a waiter to take the order.
"Ying'er, come and see."
He waved me over, and I looked at the spot he pointed to. It was a coral with some fish floating on it, which looked really interesting.
"This place is so beautiful."
"If Ying'er likes it, I'll bring you here every day from now on."
"No, it's really giving me a headache that a bunch of girls surround you as soon as you come out."
“Ying’er is worried about me now. Back then, you could date both men and women, and all I could do was stand by and watch.”
"You still remember that old almanac?"
"I will remember this for the rest of my life."
"The stingy marquis."
Our faces looked better in the mirror than in the bronze mirror. When I looked in the clear mirror again, I knew why Xie Yuancheng kept staring at me; this face could look good on anyone.
Xie Yuancheng gave me some facial care products, and now I look better than when I first arrived. I only need to apply some products before going out, so I don't even need to use face powder.
However, I always pull my hat down low when I go out, so most people can only see half of my face.
It was already dark when we went out. He started fiddling with his phone again. I took off my hat. My hair doesn't need to be tied up here, so it was loose like Xie Yuancheng's. The night breeze here was still quite cool.
I stood next to him, feeling the sea breeze. The wind was stronger at night than during the day, and my hair was blowing right up to his hand.
"Ying'er, you've taken your hat off again."
"It gets so stuffy wearing it for a long time."
"Luckily there aren't many people here, otherwise that person would be trying to get you to be a female celebrity."
"You're the kind of person who thinks so much."
I took his arm and we walked out. He really is a jinx; we actually ran into each other at the corner.
"Handsome, what a coincidence." The agent greeted me with a smile. When he saw me, his eyes lit up: "Beautiful lady, wow, you look so gorgeous without your hat."
Xie Yuancheng pulled me behind him: "Sir, we're leaving now, goodbye."
"good."
This time he was with a girl, so he didn't say much. I put on my hat and walked with Xie Yuancheng on the beach.
Dazhao is some distance from the sea, but there is also a sea on its southeastern border. Many people died in the sea disaster, so no one lives there for many years.
This place is different. A wooden walkway has been built by the sea. You don't have to worry about being swept away by the sea when you walk on it, because there are trees in the sea blocking the way. The wooden walkway is also cleverly built, so it is a certain distance away from the sea.
After walking for a while, I had to ask him to carry me because it was just too difficult to walk.
"Ying'er, you're throwing a tantrum again. I'm going to tell Yu'er when we get back."
"I'm his mother, and you're my husband. You have to put up with my complaints."
It was so comfortable leaning against his back, I wanted him to carry me.
"Yes, Ying'er is right."
He carried me for quite a long way, and by the time we got back it was already 11 p.m. After I took a shower, I wanted to lie in bed and sleep, but he remembered that I wanted to watch a war movie with him.
"Yuancheng, let's look at it again tomorrow."
"No, Ying'er promised me."
I had no choice but to lean against him and start watching from the earliest ones. I chose a few representative ones, but I fell asleep halfway through. These war scenes were really not my type.
When I woke up in the morning, Xie Yuancheng was already busy downstairs. I was afraid he would get angry, so I obediently leaned on his shoulder and watched him type.
"Ying'er, you're lying to me. You fell asleep first last night."
"Then I'll spend the whole day watching with you."
"Who's home watching movies during the day? I'm going out."
I yawned: "So where do you want to go?"
He turned off the projector on the wall, crossed his arms, and thought for a moment: "Let's go out to sea."
"No, I saw on the news the other day that the girls who go to sea have such a hard time."
"With me here, if they dare to do anything, I'll cripple them all and throw them into the sea."
"But I'm so sleepy, Yuancheng, lie down with me for a bit." I leaned against him. The beach was full of sluts in bikinis. Going out to sea with him would just be sending him to be seen by them. I didn't want to go.
"Ying'er~"
"Go to sleep first. We can take a boat trip when we go on vacation. That's also a way to go out to sea." The people on vacation are dressed normally, much better than those in bikinis.
"Too."
I'm so satisfied that Xie Yuancheng was fooled by me.
These past few days, he's become quite familiar with the library's electronic system, and he hasn't gone to the library anymore. He's started seriously studying it at home. Every time I go to the door, I see him busy, and I don't want to open the door and go in, so I just go and learn what the manager has given me. As soon as I opened the screen, I saw an endless starry sky.
There were arrows and images explaining it, and I looked around. It was truly amazing; I never imagined the sky looked like this. From below, it appeared pure white, but above it was pitch black. The stars were very large, and the moon wasn't very bright, needing the sun for illumination.
I'd heard before that the place where she lived was a big sphere, and looking at it now, it really does look like the book described. I searched for the places Ji Shuang used to frequent, based on my memory, but she's no longer there.
I tried searching her name online, but none of the results were for her. It's such a common name; a ton of people with it came up, including mine. Surprisingly, there are a lot of boys with it. No wonder no one has ever suspected it; it's truly unisex.
"Ying'er, you're looking at men again!"
Xie Yuancheng stood behind me with a gentle expression. I quickly showed him: "Look, this is someone whose name was found by me. It's not just random searching."
He took it and looked at it carefully before nodding: "None of them are as good-looking as me. Don't search for them again."
