The second time he came to Tibet, Gu Zian's mood was very different from the last time.
A year ago, he was still sad and helpless because of the anti-fans' attacks on Xia Zhitang and his inability to make his relationship public. Now, he is worried that Xia Zhitang is about to follow Lin Jingming into the heart of the Qiangtang Plateau.
The beautiful snow-capped mountains outside the window were twisted into a mountain of man-eating bones as his depressed thoughts progressed. Gu Zian was lost in thought all the way. After an unidentified amount of time, the car finally stopped in front of a bright herdsman's building.
Lin Jingming, who was communicating with the locals at the door, was stunned when he saw Gu Zian getting out of the car: "Is it finished? Zhitang is inside."
Gu Zian was really angry with Lin Jingming, so he just nodded stiffly at him and ignored him.
Lin Jingming pretended not to notice Gu Zian's anger towards him and continued to communicate with the guide and translator about the filming route.
Gu Zian walked into the hall decorated with various bird patterns, and saw Xia Zhitang holding a piece of light yellow ghee and patting the water out of it with his left and right hands alternately.
"Zi'an?" Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zi'an who had suddenly arrived. "Look, this is butter pastry. I'll make you butter tea when it's ready!"
Her face, which was twice as dark as hers, was full of vitality, and her smile was brighter than the sun in the sky.
For the first time, Gu Zian saw the overflowing vitality in her.
What was Xia Zhitang like in the past? Gu Zian thought, she was undoubtedly tough and tolerant, but not as unrestrained and free as she is now.
"Okay." Gu Zian's throat was choked, and he didn't know how to persuade her not to go.
After Lin Jingming reached an agreement with the locals, and as the sky gradually darkened and there were no special events to film, he began to organize his team to receive training in wilderness survival skills in preparation for future filming of wild yaks.
"The night temperature in Qiangtang can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius in September. Wild yaks will travel from the Aru Basin through Lumajiangdong Co and Zhari Namu Co to the Shiquan River Valley."
Lin Jingming sat in the front row, operating the remote control to control the projected PPT and introduce the migration route of wild yaks.
Gu Zian sat down next to Xia Zhitang. Lin Jingming said he would search for each place and his face turned pale after reading the introduction.
"Ensuring safety when filming in the wild is the most important thing. Here is the wilderness survival knowledge we are about to learn. Today we will learn how to tie knots."
Lin Jingming took out a large basket of ropes and handed it over.
The guide came up and introduced several types of knots and their functions to everyone in Chinese with an accent.
Xia Zhitang felt that he understood what he heard and saw, but when it was his turn to practice, some problems seemed to arise.
Before I had time to grasp it, the guide started talking about the next content.
Until the end, Xia Zhitang still hadn't figured out the different ways to tie knots.
In the evening, Xia Zhitang took Gu Zian into her room in the ambiguous sunshine of the same group - due to limited conditions, only she and Lin Jingming had independent housing.
While Gu Zian was answering questions about work over the phone, Xia Zhitang was sitting cross-legged on a mat, practicing tying knots according to a tutorial he had found online.
He looked at Xia Zhitang's focused expression, and his mood became even more complicated.
By the time Gu Zian hung up the phone, Xia Zhitang was already able to tie several different knots smoothly without following the tutorial, and had even passed a round of advanced combination applications.
"Zi'an, look." Xia Zhitang smiled and held up the results of his practice. "I learned it!"
Gu Zian sighed and hugged her: "Sister, what should I do?"
He gently stroked Xia Zhitang's slender neck and couldn't help but bite it lightly.
"I originally wanted to persuade you not to go." Gu Zian unconsciously tightened his grip on the man, "But now I feel I shouldn't stop you."
Xia Zhitang seemed to feel the pain that Gu Zian was suffering from the impact of two completely different thoughts in his heart.
"Sister, you broke the rules." Gu Zian felt the icy tears falling on the back of his hand, "How could you cry before me?"
"Zi'an, I'm sorry." Xia Zhitang felt guilty instinctively. She knew what Gu Zi'an was thinking and she cared about him, but she still chose to listen to the voice of her heart.
This is a road that will cause pain to both people no matter what choice is made. There is no way to have the best of both worlds, and it can only end with one side compromising.
"Don't apologize, I won't let go." Gu Zian kissed Xia Zhitang fiercely.
When the two separated, panting, Gu Zian whispered, "I won't give you to anyone else."
"There's nothing between Lin Jingming and me." Xia Zhitang wiped her tears onto Gu Zian's collar. "We are work partners, but the ring you gave me is the one closest to my heart."
"Not enough, sister." Gu Zian and Xia Zhitang interlocked their fingers, "Prove to me that you like me so much that you're out of control."
Although he gave up on stopping Xia Zhitang's outdoor filming plan, Gu Zian urgently needed to vent his surging grievances and anxieties.
The person he loves is the gentle and strong Xia Zhitang, who has his own firm ideals and beliefs and will not change himself for money, fame or fortune.
However, when such a strong-willed person encounters something he really wants to do, Gu Zian cannot control or easily change it.
He looked at Xia Zhitang's smooth and round shoulders, and the strings of his rationality were being swept away by his uncontrollable emotions, and were on the verge of collapse.
When Xia Zhitang, covering her lips with her hands and shaking her head at him with her hair scattered, Gu Zian couldn't help but think of the lines from "Pipa Xing": "The big strings are as noisy as heavy rain, the small strings are as soft as whispers. The loud and soft strings are played in a mixed manner, and pearls large and small fall on a jade plate. The warbler's song is slippery under the flowers, and the gurgling spring is difficult to flow under the ice."
When the sudden rainstorm in Tibet subsided, Xia Zhitang kicked Gu Zian's calf with a hoarse voice: "Water."
Gu Zian stood up carelessly, and Xia Zhitang subconsciously looked towards the window.
Only a few stars can be seen in the empty Tibetan pasture, and no one can take any photos that will make Gu Zian a hot topic.
Gu Zian took out his thermos, poured a cup of warm water, and walked back to the card mat barefoot.
Xia Zhitang stretched out her white arm to take the cup of water, but Gu Zian drank it himself as if to be naughty, and leaned over to pass the warm water in his mouth to her while she was slightly stunned.
Xia Zhitang tilted her head back to accept it, and her face, which was already covered with a layer of powder, became even more radiant and charming.
Gu Zian finally stood up when her breathing became unstable and used his thumb to wipe the water stains on her cheek.
Xia Zhitang felt that the other party was like a black panther crawling forward, ready to pounce at any time. She unconsciously curled up her toes like round grapes.
"Sister, it's not enough." He took Xia Zhitang's palm-sized face in his hands and said, "One more time, it's still not enough."
It was unknown how long it took, but Xia Zhitang was about to cry before Gu Zian let her go.
Lying on the bed and letting his roughened fingertips massage her aching back with a comfortable strength, Xia Zhitang suddenly felt that Gu Zian had grown from a tender sapling into a tree with lush branches and leaves.
The next morning, Gu Zian and Lin Jingming woke up the latest, so it was natural that they met at breakfast.
Gu Zian had not yet adapted to the Tibetan food culture, so he put down his cutlery after drinking only half a cup of butter tea.
Lin Jingming finished his glutinous rice cake in a few bites and drank a cup of butter tea. Just as he was about to get up, Gu Zian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke.
"My family contacted the Academy of Sciences that studies wild yaks. Their team has data resources on tracking wild yaks for several years."
Lin Jingming was a little surprised. He could see that Gu Zian didn't want Xia Zhitang to follow him to shoot in the wild.
"Thanks. Feel free to ask for anything." Lin Jingming took the note with the phone number written on it that Gu Zian pushed over. "Do you want naming rights or something?"
"Protect Tangtang." Gu Zian's expression was unusually cold. "I can arrange the best medical support for you, but you must protect her even if you die."
"This is what I should do." Lin Jingming's expression also became serious.
"I hope you remember what you said." Gu Zian stood up with a cold face, lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Lin Jingming stared at the white smoke rising from the copper pot, and suddenly understood Xia Zhitang's original choice.
It is very clear what choice to make between myself, who has a family and is still entangled with her, and the protective and sincere little wolfdog.
In fact, no normal person would choose me.
Unfortunately, he understood it too late. He was too arrogant and did not understand the true meaning of what Xia Zhitang said about exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
Lin Jingming closed his eyes in pain. When he thought about how he had treated Xia Zhitang in the past, he felt that he deserved everything that happened today.
A few years ago, Lin Jingming probably never imagined that he would have a day to reflect on himself.
"Sister, please tell me once the departure date is set." Gu Zian and Xia Zhitang stood in front of the SUV and said goodbye reluctantly.
"Are you here to see me off?" Xia Zhitang lowered the umbrella, tiptoed, pulled down Gu Zian's collar, and kissed his cheek.
Gu Zian's eyes flickered slightly, he hugged Xia Zhitang's waist tightly and lowered his head to bite her lower lip.
Both of them were a little out of control. Amid the noisy background sound of Lin Jingming directing the filming crew around, they kissed each other under the cover of the umbrella without caring about anything else.
"'The Echo of the Blue Luan' is about to be broadcast." Gu Zian said this without thinking when he let go of Xia Zhitang.
Xia Zhitang understood what he meant: "No matter what the result is, I will agree to it."
"I hope to be a man worthy of you." Gu Zian hopes to propose to her with the trophy in his hand.
"You are already very outstanding. I just graduated seven years earlier than you." Xia Zhitang, who just graduated, could not attract the pursuit of Gu Zian.
"Sister, I think our meeting is just perfect." Gu Zian took out a Zhigong Tibetan knife from his backpack and handed it to Xia Zhitang. "This Tibetan knife can dismember yaks and split frozen soil. The back of the blade can crush wolf bones."
He hugged Xia Zhitang again: "Promise me that you will come back safely."
"good."
"If I had an appointment that I couldn't postpone, I wouldn't be here to see you off." Gu Zian opened the car door and looked back at Xia Zhitang, "I believe you can do it."
