Where should I send you? Chen Shuang He asked ndly, Your house, or that movie theater?
Ning Ning took a look at him and felt her head hurting a little, he was still hung up over Life Theater.
But upon further consideration, after experiencing such a strange nightwitnessing a fightparable to a fantasy film at the entrance first handif one were to be able to ignore thatthen that person definitely either had amnesia or dementia.
Wait. Ning Ning looked out of the window as she shouted abruptly, Stop here.
The Cayenne stopped. Ning Ning opened the door and walked into a little bookstore by the road. The inte flourished in the modern day, paper media had been on a decline. Therefore, although it was the weekend, besides the cashier who was dozing off, the only other things in the shop were the books that were silently sleeping on the shelves.
Ning Ning stopped in front of a bookshelf. Seeing that the book she wanted was a little bit high up, she stood on her tiptoes, but it was not enough.
A hand reached out from behind her and brought the book down.
Ning Ning looked back. Chen Shuang He was standing behind her, flipping through the book then shrivelled his mouth. He closed the book up with both hands and looked up at the tall shelf in front of him as he asked, What else?
Evening, entrance of Life Theater.
The movie theater had even less customerspared to the bookstore. Boss Qu was sitting on the steps of the entrance, he slowly looked up, Why are you here again?
Ning Ning shoved a big bag at him, Im here to give you guys something.
What are you giving us? Boss Qu opened the bag to have a look.
Novels. Ning Ning ced her hands behind her as she smiled. While you and Shi TouGeare in prisonno, you can read them while you are bored. I rmend <<three kings="" one="" queen="">>, <<colorful bone="">> and <<i have="" a="" unique="" sleeping="" technique="">>. Simple and pure romance works by Her Highness, Nightmare are very good, theyre especially sweet.</i></colorful></three><i have="" a="" unique="" sleeping="" technique="">
Boss Qu,
Holding up the colourful romance novels, Boss Qus eyes showed a trace of dislike, but he did not want to reject her, so he could only warmly say, Alright, Ill keep the books, you should go.
Okay Ning Ning turned around and took two steps before she suddenly turned back and asked, Thats right, who opened this movie theater?
What are you asking this for? Boss Qu seemed to not want to answer her question, he would rather read the romance novel in his hand.
Land is so valuable, every piece ofnd in this city belongs to someone. Ning Ning looked at Life Theater under the setting sun. It would not be an exception.
Everything about Life Theater was mysterious and strange, Ning Ning often felt small and powerless being near it, as if she was inside the stomach of a whale, the peristaltic stomach walls felt like it would excrete stomach acid anytime, melting her and the other masked people like food.
She decided to not think from within this stomach but from the outside, to look for the owner of thisnd, the owner of this movie theater.
She had this idea, Chen Shuang He seemed to have this idea as well.
A fortuitous chance. Ning Ning found out that he seemed to have found something after getting someone to check up on thendowners for the movie theater, but he was unwilling to share it with her.
Shooting for <<big brothers="" lover="">> had started. They had tender affection for each other in the show, but they wouldnt talk to each other outside of the show unless it was necessary. Ning Ning did not know where his hatred for her came from, but she was not about to court an unwilling audience.</big><big brothers="" lover="">
In reality, she had something else that was bothering her at the moment.
Youre here, have a seat. Director Chen said to Ning Ning while grinning from ear to ear.
Ning Ning sat across from him, the man beside him smiled at her in a friendly manner. His face was quite familiar, but she could not remember who he was exactly at the moment. That was until Director Chen said, Let me introduce you, this is Rising Dragon Technologies President Li.
Hello, Miss Ning. President Li shook hands with her. I saw you in <<the great="" empire="">>, you acted really well, my family and I love the show.</the>
It turned out that he was a famous young millionaire on the wealthy list. Ning Ning shook his hands frantically, she heard Director Chenugh as he said, President Li is young and promising. Because he has been focusing on his work, he still has no girlfriend at the moment. His mother and I know each other, even I am getting anxious for him.
Wait a minute, why was there a strong sense of matchmaking?
Ning Ning started to feel awkward. She took nces at Director Chen as she dealt with President Lis passion, shouting in her heart, Director Chen! What has happened to you Director Chen? Why did you suddenly be a busybody, trying to be a matchmaker for me? This, this ispletely out of character!
Oh, look at me. Seeing that Ning Ning was giving him looks repeatedly, Director Chen pped his thigh. What is an old man like me sitting here for? Alright, Im leaving. You two young people should rx a little, have a nice chat.
No!! Dont go, Director Chen!!
Ning Ning took great pains to send President Li away, but Director Chen introduced another man to her soon after, a pretty good actor. Although he was not popr, he had a good reputation in the business, he wasnt a celebrity that looked good on the outside but was rotten on the inside.
The matchmaking ended, Director Chen called Ning Ning over. He asked with a pleased expression, What do you think?
I think Im going to feel drunk soon.
Director Chen. Ning Ning took a deep breath, looking at him with an extremely rigid expression. What exactly are you trying to do?
Im trying to get you a boyfriend. Director Chen said with a smile. Little Wu is not a bad person. Hes a very honest man, he doesnt fool around. Moreover, you two are in the same line of work, you would have amon topic if you were to be together, you should really consider him.
Theres nothing to consider. Ning Ning tly rejected him.
Why? Director Chen said in a guiding manner, A modern female star does not have to be what they were in the past where they had to stay single or hide their marriage, otherwise, they would lose fans. Nowadays, if you were to find someone, you can show off your love for each other and go on the news for it. After you have a child, you can even go on <<where are="" we="" going,="" dad?="">>1together and gain even more fans.</where>
Oh my God! He had even considered up to the child stage!!
Child? It doesnt existoh thats not right. Ning Ning felt so awkward that she could not even speak properly. What I mean is, I dont intend to get a boyfriend for now, not to mention giving birth to a child. My career is my priority, careeres first, hahaha
Careeres first, then all the more you should fall in love. Director Chen said sternly, Dont you think that your current Zhang Xin Ai iscking a little something?
What is itcking? Ning Ning asked in surprise.
A crew member walked past them right at this moment, they were holding a rose prop. Director Chen took it out of their hand and handed it to Ning Ning.
A little fervour. Director Chen smiled. I cannot help you with that, no one can help you with that, only you can experience it yourself when you are in love.
Ning Ning stared at the rose in her hand for a while. She said with some difort, I had fallen in love before
When, who? Director Chen let out a coldugh, A crush in highschool doesnt countno, as long as you are not willing to die for him, none of them would count.
Based on your standards, she should stay single to keep herself safe. What was so bad about being single? At least she would not have to die!
What about you? Ning Ning with angst, Have you ever loved anyone like that?
Director Chen hmph-ed, Youre asking the obvious.
He left a rose holding Ning Ning behind. Director Chen walked into the rest area with his hands sped behind his back. He saw that there was a person waiting for him after he walked in.
Father. Chen Shuang He had a very bad expression on his face. He sat on the sofa with a tea cup in hand, the tea was filled to the brim, he had not taken a single sip. If you want to find a boyfriend for her, can you put it off until we finish shooting the movie? With you messing around, she will get distracted.
Theres only a week of filming left, why else would I try to introduce a boyfriend to her? Director Chen sat across from him, looking at Chen Shuang He with a smile. I know what other people are saying behind our backs. They said that shes like my biological daughter, while you are like a stepchild. Whats the matter? These gossip are getting to you?
Chen Shuang He kept his mouth shut.
You dont even need me to find a girlfriend for you, dont you have quite a number of suitors? Director Chen smiled as he shook his head.
I Chen Shuang He did not finish speaking before a phone rang. Director Chen answered the phone then got up and said, Ill take this outside.
Another matchmaking prospect? Chen Shuang He said sarcastically after staying silent for a while.
Thats right, another matchmaking prospect. Director Chen sighed. I hope I will seed this time, the littledy has quite the high expectations
He rambled on as he left. Behind him, Chen Shuang He was looking down, his hands that were ced on his knees slowly curled into fists. He said in a repressed volume, When will you be able to care that much about me
A powerless despair was exuding out of Chen Shuang Hes heart. Why did he work so hard for? What had he gotten for his hard work? His side view was reflected in the window, looking so much like his mother. His mother was always like this. Sitting hunched by the window, the table would beid with his fathers favourite dishes. They went from warm to cold, cold to warm, the sky darkened then it brightened again, he had stayed out all night again. When she asked where he had been, he would answer impatiently, Dont bother me, I am filming.
Director Chen abandoned his mother, then abandoned him. No matter how much the mother and son pair did for him, he would be blind to it, he would only ever have eyes for his movies, and his Phantom.
A sh of lightning shed across outside the window, the surroundings turned white, Chen Shuang Hes side profile also turned white.
The sky and thend was getting connected by drops of rain, umbres opened one after another like blooming flowers.
One of those ck flowers belonged to Director Chen, beside him was a white flower. Ning Ning stood under the flower with a face of awkwardness, shaking the hand of a man Director Chen introduced. After exchanging a few words, Ning Ning shifted her umbre above the head of the other party and walked to the door with him.
Chen Shuang He stood in front of the window as he coldly watched the events unfold.
As if she felt it, Ning Ning stopped in her tracks and took a look in his direction.
Let me woo you. Divided by the window, divided by the rain, Chen Shuang He pressed a hand on the ice cold window sill, muttering at Ning Ning who was faraway, Make you fall in love with me, marry me, then leave the entertainment industry to cook, wash and give birth for me at home He will never get the phantom he wants.
