Chapter 596: I Don’t Know I’m Just a Guest in My Dream
After Xie Jin won the Golden Lion Award and became the talk of the town, many directors began to set their sights on international awards.
After all, this would make you famous overnight.
But many people know that although winning an international award sounds very desirable, it is not easy to achieve.
After all, international awards are not so easy to obtain.
In terms of fame, Michael's Oscar is more famous than the Golden Lion Award.
But can Cheng Xuyuan really get it this time?
Although he did not win the director award, as a screenwriter, it would be amazing if he could win the best screenwriter award!
Although the two people had doubts, they would not say it out loud.
However, while persuading people to drink, I ended up chatting with Cheng Xuyuan more.
The meal took three hours.
After the four of them drank two bottles of wine, Xie Jin asked someone to open another bottle.
Cheng Xuyuan, whose mind was already somewhat confused at this time, refused to let Xie Jin open the wine no matter what.
He knew very well that if he allowed Xie Jin to drink the wine, he would definitely be the first to fall down.
And Cheng Xuyuan's excuse that he had to board a plane tomorrow finally stopped Xie Jin from opening the wine.
After having enough food and drink, Xie Jin said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, you should stay here. I'll send a car to take you to the airport tomorrow."
In the past, Cheng Xuyuan might have directly agreed to this arrangement of Xie Jin.
But this time, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment before saying to Xie Jin, "Director Xie, do you have a bicycle?"
"I'll ride my bike back to the Bund first."
"I can get up early tomorrow and go to the airport from there."
Seeing that Xie Jin was still trying to persuade him, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "My luggage is still over there."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Xie Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Xuyuan, if you really want to go back, I'll have someone take you back."
"Master Li from our small car team is on duty today."
Since he could take a bus back, Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not insist on riding a bicycle.
He had already drunk quite a bit of wine at this point, and although his mind was a little dazed, he still said to Xie Jin: "Thank you, Director Xie!"
Although Xie Jin can drink a lot, time is not forgiving.
So I was a little confused at this time.
He said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, have a good sleep when you go back."
"I'll have someone pick you up at the airport tomorrow."
"I'm a little dizzy from drinking, so I won't see you off."
Getting in the jeep arranged by Xie Jin, Cheng Xuyuan quickly returned to Shen Yumo's villa.
Because he drank a lot of wine and the car was bumpy, Cheng Xuyuan was getting drunk.
He staggered and waved goodbye to Master Li who had come to see him off, then knocked heavily on the door twice.
After the knock on the door, Shen Yumo's hesitant voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"Me!" Cheng Xuyuan said loudly.
This answer could be said to be meaningless, but Shen Yumo recognized from the voice that the person was Cheng Xuyuan.
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's drunken voice, Shen Yumo was not angry, but instead felt a sense of joy inexplicably rising in his heart.
Although he only came back to stay for a while, she felt extremely happy.
This kind of happiness rose in Shen Yumo's heart.
Shen Yumo quickly opened the door and saw Cheng Xuyuan holding on to the wall, looking a little unstable.
"Why did you drink so much?" Shen Yumo couldn't help but ask with concern.
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Old Xie is an old friend. I can't do anything if he keeps pouring wine."
Having said this, Cheng Xuyuan walked towards the yard and asked as he walked, "Is An An asleep?"
"What time is it? You must be asleep." Shen Yumo said softly.
Cheng Xuyuan responded and continued walking towards the yard.
Shen Yumo closed the door again and quickly caught up with Cheng Xuyuan.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan was completely drunk.
He walked unsteadily, looking careless and like he might fall at any moment.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's appearance, Shen Yumo felt helpless.
She quickly walked to Cheng Xuyuan's side, held up Cheng Xuyuan who might fall at any time, and said: "See you tomorrow, Xiao Anan, go to rest now."
Shen Yumo's support gave Cheng Xuyuan some support. He instinctively held Shen Yumo's shoulders and said, "No, I want to go see my son."
Although Shen Yumo was tall, the strength of half of Cheng Xuyuan's body still made it difficult for her to support herself.
Fortunately, when he was an educated youth in the village, he often worked in the fields, so he was able to barely support Cheng Xuyuan.
As she supported Cheng Xuyuan and walked towards the guest room, she said, "Okay, I'll take you to see An An now."
Although the guest room was not far away, when Shen Yumo reached the room, sweat appeared on his forehead due to exhaustion.
She was really a little scared at this moment. Wang Yian had dinner and left, and Aunt Zhao took a temporary leave to go back home because of something at home.
If Cheng Xuyuan drank a little more, she really wouldn't be able to help Cheng Xuyuan into the house by herself.
After helping Cheng Xuyuan to sit on the bed in the guest room, Shen Yumo quickly said, "I'll go get you a glass of water."
As she spoke, she quickly came to the living room.
When Shen Yumo prepared the water with honey and brought it over, he found that Cheng Xuyuan was already lying on the bed, snoring.
This situation made Shen Yumo stunned.
She looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was wearing a coat, hesitated for a moment, and then gently shook Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, get up and drink some water, so you can feel more comfortable."
But what responded to her was Cheng Xuyuan's sound sleep.
After calling Cheng Xuyuan for three minutes, Shen Yumo discovered that Cheng Xuyuan was still sleeping.
Feeling that he couldn't wake Cheng Xuyuan up in this way, Shen Yumo put the cup of water on the table and helped Cheng Xuyuan up.
"Xuyuan, drink some water quickly."
In a daze, Cheng Xuyuan opened his eyes. He drank the sweet honey water and became a little more sober.
He felt that Fang Yuqing was right beside him at this moment.
So after drinking the water, when the person who was supporting him was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed the hand that was about to leave.
He felt Fang Yuqing seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then stayed by his side again...
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xuyuan opened his eyes dazedly.
He felt a slight headache.
It seems that drinking alcohol really does harm to people.
Rubbing his head, Cheng Xuyuan found that it was already getting light outside the window.
Picking up his watch and taking a look, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that it was just past five in the morning.
That is when the day just dawned.
How did I get back last night? Oh, Director Xie sent someone to take me back, and after I got back...
Suddenly, Cheng Xuyuan's expression changed.
He felt as if he had done something last night.
Because at this moment, there was a vague memory in his mind.
Thinking of the things in his memory, Cheng Xuyuan quickly looked around himself and saw that he was the only one on the bed.
He was wearing the clothes he wore when he went out drinking.
Only the shirt was thrown on the chair.
I went to sleep without taking off my clothes!
What was my memory of last night like? Could it be that I drank too much and had a dream?
Cheng Xuyuan was shocked and looked around quickly, only to find that everything in the guest room seemed normal.
But did I really remember it wrongly? It was just a dream!
With doubts in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little thirsty.
At this time, he noticed a thermos, a large cup filled with half a cup of boiled water, and a bottle of honey on the table in the guest room.
No need to ask, this should have been placed here by Shen Yumo.
As for Shen Yumo's purpose, it was to find water to drink when he was thirsty.
Cheng Xuyuan made himself a cup of honey water with warm water. After drinking it, his stomach, which had a slight fever, immediately felt much better.
Just then, he heard some noise outside.
Cheng Xuyuan, full of doubts, pushed the door and walked into the living room, and saw Shen Yumo cooking something in the kitchen.
Shen Yumo, who was wearing home clothes and had her hair tied up, looked even taller and more slender.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming out, Shen Yumo scolded: "Why did you drink so much yesterday? I almost vomited."
"Luckily you didn't vomit, or it would be troublesome."
At this point, Shen Yumo said very naturally: "I'm making hot and sour soup. Drink a bowl later and your stomach will feel much better."
After hearing what Shen Yumo said, Cheng Xuyuan became even more suspicious.
Was he really dreaming? He was a little far away from Shen Yumo, so he didn't see that Shen Yumo's hands were actually shaking a little while he was cutting vegetables.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thanking him, he heard Shen Yumo ask, "How did you get back last night?"
"It's not close from Shanghai Film Studio to here!"
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "Director Xie asked someone to drive me there. When I got off the car, I didn't even know if I said thank you to them."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "If you drink too much, people won't care too much."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still remember that when you came back last night, you must visit Xiao An'an."
"You won't listen to me."
"As a result, you woke up the sleeping little An An, and made her cry for a long time."
Hearing Shen Yumo's words, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to be looking for Xiao An An.
But I really don’t remember what happened afterwards.
Did he really meet Xiao An'an? Did he really make Xiao An'an cry? How come he had no impression of this? But Cheng Xuyuan felt that Shen Yumo had no need to lie about this matter.
After all, this is what makes a child cry.
"Really? I can't quite remember." Cheng Xuyuan said embarrassedly, "I'll apologize to Xiao An'an when I see him later."
"I hope I can get his forgiveness."
Shen Yumo, who was cooking, felt a lot more relaxed when he heard Cheng Xuyuan say this.
Sure enough, it is easy to forget things after drinking too much.
Since Cheng Xuyuan cannot deny something he did not do, he probably won't remember what happened last night very clearly.
All you have to do is insist that nothing happened.
Shen Yumo is still very satisfied with his current life.
It is precisely because of this satisfaction that she is unwilling to change her life.
So, when Cheng Xuyuan fell into a deep sleep last night, she was actually thinking about what to do next.
Now, she was sure that what she was thinking was right.
Just as Shen Yumo gradually calmed down, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help but ask: "Didn't I do anything else last night?"
"You just made little An An cry, and then you went straight to sleep. As a result, I had to coax little An An for half an hour."
Shen Yumo frowned deliberately when he said this: "Drinking so much alcohol doesn't do any great good except making your stomach uncomfortable."
"Xuyuan, don't drink too much in the future."
"I'm going to talk to Director Xie later. Drinking too much is bad for your brain. Ask him to drink less with you."
Listening to Shen Yumo's nagging words, Cheng Xuyuan became more and more certain that he was definitely dreaming.
And still did it...
Just when he was feeling a little embarrassed, Shen Yumo suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, I just... I'm just afraid that I'll drink too much and forget what I did." Cheng Xuyuan quickly waved his hands in response to Shen Yumo's question.
Shen Yumo became calmer at this time. She smiled softly and said, "If you want to talk about things you forgot, there really are some."
"When you were drunk, you told Xiao An An that you wanted to buy him a big truck, and you made the child cry."
At this point, Shen Yumo changed the subject and said, "The soup is almost ready. Hurry up and wash up, then come over and have some soup."
"Drink more, sweat a little, and your stomach will feel better."
After hearing what Shen Yumo said, Cheng Xuyuan threw all the thoughts in his mind aside.
While washing his face, Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about some disjointed scenes in his memory. Could it be that these were all his own imagination?
But this is a bit too real.
It must be my wild imagination, after all, I have forgotten so many things.
The hot and sour soup made by Shen Yumo was very much to Cheng Xuyuan's liking. Cheng Xuyuan, who still had alcohol in his stomach, drank three bowls in one breath before he was completely sober.
"How is the soup? If it's not salty enough, add some salt?" Shen Yumo asked Cheng Xuyuan while drinking the soup.
Cheng Xuyuan's mind was still in a mess at this time. He said casually: "It's very well done. I think professional chefs are at this level."
"If you want to drink, you can always come back and drink."
Just as the two were talking, Xiao An An woke up.
Hearing little An An's crying, both of them put down their chopsticks and walked quickly towards the bedroom.
After being picked up by Shen Yumo, little An An stopped crying and even laughed.
This situation made Cheng Xuyuan unable to help but want to take him over.
However, Xiao Anan didn’t know if it was because Cheng Xuyuan smelled of alcohol, but after being held in Cheng Xuyuan’s arms, she started crying again.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Xuyuan could only quickly hand his son to Shen Yumo.
Seeing this, Shen Yumo chuckled and said, "You offended Xiao An'an last night. If you want him to listen to you in the future, you have to coax him more."
Looking at the grinning little An An, Cheng Xuyuan once again concluded that he must have offended his son last night.
Otherwise, he wouldn't start crying before I even hold him.
Chen Xuyuan threw aside the messy memories in his mind and coaxed his son with a smile.
What's more, in just a few minutes, little An An ran from Shen Yumo's hands into Cheng Xuyuan's arms.
After breakfast, Cheng Xuyuan was busy with Shen Yumo for a while, and then he heard a car horn.
When Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the house, he saw a short middle-aged man waiting outside the door in a jeep from the Shanghai Film Studio.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, he said very politely: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xie asked me to follow you today."
"When are you going to the airport? Tell me."
Looking at the middle-aged man, Cheng Xuyuan thanked Xie Jin for his kindness in his heart, and then said to the man: "Master, you sent me back yesterday, right?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's my duty to give it to you."
"I haven't caused you any other trouble, have I?" Cheng Xuyuan said with a lack of confidence.
"No, you are Director Xie's distinguished guest, which means you are a distinguished guest of our factory. It is my honor to drive for you." The middle-aged driver waved his hand quickly when he heard Cheng Xuyuan say this.
Looking at the middle-aged man, Cheng Xuyuan became less suspicious.
I must have drunk too much last night, otherwise how could I forget so many things.
Because the flight was at twelve o'clock in the morning, Cheng Xuyuan packed up simply and prepared to leave.
However, just as he and Xiao An An were reluctantly saying goodbye, those memories once again flooded into his mind.
So much so that he couldn't help but ask Shen Yumo: "Nothing else happened to me last night, right?"
"What do you want to happen?"
Shen Yumo said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why, do you want to do something else?"
"You were drunk and played with the child, and now you are sleeping like a pig."
"What else do you have?"
Shen Yumo's final words, with a hint of sarcasm, made Cheng Xuyuan completely put his mind at ease.
He smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that I might do something wrong for a while."
"That's good."
"When I come back, I'll buy some gifts for Xiao An and more."
Watching Cheng Xuyuan's car whizzing away, Shen Yumo's eyes were filled with tears without her knowing when.
“Mom, mom!”
As if sensing her mother's tears, little An An's voice became louder.
After hearing his son's voice, Shen Yumo wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands, then smiled and said, "An An, what do you want to eat later?"
"Ahhh..." Little An An didn't have much idea about what to eat and could only make a fuss.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan was chatting with Master Li who was driving. After a few words of gossip, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly asked: "Master Li, have you ever forgotten something when you drank?"
Master Li didn't know why Cheng Xuyuan asked this, but he still said casually: "I forgot it several times."
"It's not just me. I have several friends who forget things when they drink too much."
"I remember that before, a friend of mine got drunk and completely forgot where he put his bicycle. But after searching for a long time, he found that he had given the bicycle to his parents after getting drunk..."
Listening to Master Li's words, Cheng Xuyuan felt relieved.
