Chapter 33:

Song Wenye came by car, and the three of them arrived at the parking lot, opened the door and got on the car one after another. Xia Hong got into the car, he looked around excitedly, and said with emotion: "I'm really a big cow today. After drinking, it's Mr. Song as the driver!"
Song Wenye: "What about your car?"
Xia Hong: "Looking for a driver."
Chu Xiaxing didn't know the true meaning of Song Wenye's coming, she said casually: "We just have a drink, take a taxi or drive on behalf of us, why let Song always run?"
Chu Xiaxing felt that Xia Hong was making a small matter, and Song Wenye was not too busy watching it. It was ridiculous to run over and drive at night.
Xia Hong listened to her casual tone, he immediately brought up the old things, and took the lead in reporting: "Director Chu is super drunk today, and I feel scared! She went down with a'ton, ton, ton, and vomit' directly. , And vomiting out!"
Xia Hong couldn't stop Chu Xiaxing who was drinking at the dinner table, so he was so scared to call Song Wenye, lest he cause trouble. He looks like a cynical little dude, but he is actually very timid. If he intends to do bad things, he is also guilty and courageous.
Song Wenye condensed slightly between his eyebrows. He glanced at the rearview mirror and said with concern: "You drink a lot?"
He opened a little car window casually, and a cool breeze came in, like a veil on his face.
Xia Hong looked at Chu Xiaxing seriously: "It seems that I am not drunk."
Chu Xiaxing didn't take their fuss seriously, she said casually: "Drunk is a romantic art. If it is in a movie story, the plot has to promote the plot, and finally it has to work. How can I be drunk casually, this Doesn't the scene completely collapse?"
Chu Xiaxing is a well-measured person. She will never get drunk in front of outsiders. She really wants to get drunk and get a place of peace of mind, otherwise she can't even let down her sense of alertness.
Song Wenye curiously asked: "Why do you say that being drunk is a romantic art?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Simply drinking can only be called alcoholism, and being drunk has always been a matter of drunkenness and not intoxication, so it is a romantic art.
"Wine" has very rich connotations in art, and "drunk" is given other meanings, especially in poetry and other literary works.
Song Wenye raised his eyebrows and said: "People are not drunk because of wine, wine is just an image?"
Chu Xiaxing nodded: "You can say so."
Xia Hong's eyes were dumbfounded. He was like a latecomer who had entered an excellent class, and said blankly: "...The conversation between you two made me look like a second fool."
Xia Hong: Now you can't ride a car without any culture!
Xia Hong arrived at his residence soon, and he happily waved goodbye to the two in the car, and then reminded: "Director Chu, then we will talk about samples from the company tomorrow!"
Chu Xiaxing had no objection, she waved to Xia Hong and watched him disappear into the night.
In the car, Song Wenye adjusted his mobile phone navigation and asked patiently: "Where do you live now? I will send you back."
Xia Hong's residence is close to the restaurant, but Chu Xiaxing's address is confusing. She used to return to the Cultural and Creative Park, and now the crew has finished her work, and she doesn't know where to stay.
Chu Xiaxing replied: "Just put me in Chengxia subway station."
Song Wenye was taken aback for a moment, he looked back at her thoughtfully, and said in doubt: "Do you live near Chengxia? There are not many communities there."
Near Chengxia subway station is a prosperous business district, and there is no residential area at all. The night is brightly lit and quite lively, and many young people wander there all night.
Chu Xiaxing confessed: "I want to stroll around."
Chu Xiaxing unexpectedly ran into Wang Zhi today, and suddenly recalled a lot of past events, inexplicably irritable. She didn't plan to go home and sleep right now, and didn't want to disturb other people, so she decided to relax by herself. Chu Qiuyi and Han Chuning should be resting soon, and calling them again is too much. They both have their own lives.
Song Wenye's eyes were like black gems with excellent luster. He pondered for a few seconds before turning the steering wheel: "Okay."
In the Chengxia business district, the trees on both sides of the pedestrian street are covered with colorful neon lights. Young people are laughing and laughing in groups, laughing wildly in front of the bustling shops, which is quite a city that never sleeps.
Chu Xiaxing walked two steps on the block, she sighed, turned her head helplessly, frowned and said, "Ms. Song, what are you doing with me?"
Song Wenye didn't drive away, but followed her quietly. He looked around at the bright street lights and said calmly: "You just drank alcohol. Girls are walking around at night. It's actually not safe."
Chu Xiaxing was impatient: "But I just want to relax by myself..."
Song Wenye blinked, he thought for a moment, and took two steps back lightly, no longer walking in the same row with Chu Xiaxing, but staggering the two of them. He gently raised his left hand to signal, suggesting that Chu Xiaxing was walking forward alone, while he silently followed behind, as if performing a pantomime.
He can't wait to write "This is also considered to be alone".
Chu Xiaxing: "..."
Seeing Song Wenye's persistence and calmness, Chu Xiaxing felt like slamming a fist on the cotton. She was irritated and funny. She gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, follow you if you want, I will treat you as if you don't exist."
She can deal with the wicked, but it is difficult to deal with the good old person and simply ignore him.
Song Wenye cleverly and honestly did the background board and the game follower, he followed silently throughout the whole process, without saying anything to disturb people.
Chu Xiaxing went straight to the cinema. She bought a ticket for a night movie at random, and went in to watch it when she was ready. Song Wenye didn't buy a ticket to join her, but bought a row later. He really guarded himself and had no sense of existence.
This is a foreign popcorn special effects film. The screen is full of dazzling explosions and the plot is messy. Chu Xiaxing stared blankly, either the young couple whispering in the front row, or the boring audience dozing off, everyone was obviously not attracted by the plot of the film.
Song Wenye was sitting behind Chu Xiaxing, he could only see her back and profile, the dazzling and exaggerated explosion light reflected on her face, but her eyes were clear and calm.
Chu Xiaxing picked up a row of unmanned seats. She was far away from the other audiences. She didn't know whether she was watching the movie or watching the audience, like a spectator of the world.
She seems to keep away from others when she is watching movies. The same was true when she watched "Man Ran" last time. She was clearly sitting in the audience, but she didn't blend in with others, but wanted to get away.
Song Wen Ye thought about this and his heart moved slightly.
She is the spectator of the world, and he is now the spectator of the world.
After the movie ended, Chu Xiaxing found that Song Wenye was still not far and near, she even wanted to walk her opponent badly, hesitating whether to run around Chengxia business district to see if it would tire him in the end lie. However, no matter how she wandered around the block, Song Wenye guarded without complaining, and she really wouldn't be annoying with her mouth open.
In the open-air street, Chu Xiaxing bought two bottles of mineral water from the convenience store, and after going out, she sat on the bench facing the convenience store. She had no temper for Song Wenye's stubbornness, and handed him one of the bottles of water, lazily: "Okay, you are not tired, come and sit down."
The two were sitting on open-air benches drinking water, and directly across from the bright and busy convenience store, people kept coming and going.
Chu Xiaxing stared at the customers in the convenience store dreamily, not knowing what he was thinking about, even a bit in a daze.
Song Wenye looked at her.
Chu Xiaxing noticed Song Wenye's inquiring gaze, she slowly turned her head, raised her eyebrows and said: "What's the matter? Don't pretend to be dumb, just say it if you have something."
Song Wenye looked at the convenience store. He turned his head again and asked humbly, "What are you looking at?"
"People in the convenience store." Chu Xiaxing raised her chin toward the entrance of the convenience store. She motioned Song Wenye to see the customers who had just come out. "The two little girls are college classmates. They should go to KTV to meet up with their companions now. I bought a lot of water and snacks..."
"The person eating by the window just finished working overtime. Even if tomorrow is the weekend, he probably still has to work, otherwise his expression won't be so dull."
"The guy in the corner who keeps looking at his mobile phone is waiting for someone. He has no place to stay, he doesn't buy anything, just rests."
Chu Xiaxing's eyes passed by the customers in the store one by one, and she reasoned about their stories slowly, which was something she often did when she was relaxing. She silently observed the people around her, trying to figure out their joys, sorrows, sorrows, and trivial life based on her appearance and demeanor, but no matter how accurate her judgments were, she still had nothing to do with these people.
She sits in the busiest business district and has been in the busiest crew, but she is still sensible and sober, and she has not yet integrated into the group.
Song Wenye's dark eyelashes trembled lightly, and asked in a low voice: "You often run out to observe like this now?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes."
Song Wen Yeyi pointed out: "Director Chu is worthy of being a director. He can see through other people's lives at will, but always keeps a distance from them and will not confess his concerns to anyone."
Song Wenye felt that there was an incentive for Chu Xiaxing to come out to hang out today, but she was always calm and restrained, as if she was sitting behind the monitor of a crew and working. She will carefully observe the emotional ups and downs of each scene, but she is not moved by herself, she is still a bystander and guide behind the scenes.
She has a burning heart, covered by a thick layer of ice, can only see the light through the frost, but can never touch the temperature of the flame. She has a completely different temperament from her peers, as if she doesn't tell the world through.
Chu Xiaxing squinted at him and said indifferently: "Don't you think it's stupid to be open about your mind? Even if you struggle to confide in others, who will understand you 100%, at most it will be sympathetic, but not It means the other party understands you."
"Whether it is a good friend or a family member who is connected by blood, they can't fully understand you, so many things are meaningless and even cause worry." Chu Xiaxing spent her entire life alone, and she had already seen this. At one point, I got rid of the stage of seeking understanding and gradually got used to the state of loneliness on the sidelines.
She does have many friends and loved ones, but she is one person in life. They can share a lot of time, but they will have their own stories in the end, not necessarily completely separated, but they can't stay together.
Wang Zhi used to be like-minded with her, and Xu Xiancheng also competed with her for a long time, but there will always be days for change.
It's like Chu Qiuyi will grow up and get married, and Han Chuning will also move away as an adult, all with their own life journeys.
The only thing that has not changed is her, and the only thing that has not changed is change.
Song Wenye looked at the neon lights on the side of the road, then raised his eyes to the faint stars in the night sky. He suddenly recalled the night in Yanchuan City, showing a look of nostalgia: "But someone told me that even though most of his life It is running alone, but as long as you run down with full concentration and hope, you may be able to meet someone who understands you and makes you trust at the next corner..."
Chu Xiaxing glanced at him in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would talk about chicken soup with a handsome face. She couldn't help but laughed and said: "This is to coax a child? I might have believed it before, but now I don't eat this set."
Song Wen's eyes flickered: "This is indeed what I heard when I was a child, and the person who said this is inexplicably similar to Director Chu."
Chu Xiaxing vomited: "If you look at a smart person, how can you still take childhood things seriously? I forget what I was doing when I was a kid..."
Song Wenye asked back: "But I think there is nothing wrong with this. You have never been drunk, have you?"
Chu Xiaxing was surprised: "...what do you mean? Your topic is jumping fast?"
Song Wenye has a methodical reason: "You said that'wine' is not ordinary wine. Human beings are subject to two basic impulses. One is the spirit of helioness, which is pragmatic, rational and orderly, and the other is the spirit of Dionysus, which treats individuals. The expression of inner emotion..."
"So I said that Director Chu has never been drunk. You have been restraining your emotions and looking at external things sensibly. There is no fanatical, excessive, or unstable state. This is really incredible, especially you are still engaged in art. "Song Wenye didn't understand the formation of Chu Xiaxing's character, and logically young people wouldn't be like this. She was really confusing.
The spirit of Bacchus has a profound influence on the creation of literary artists, but she usually speaks and works well, but in reality, she is quite disciplined and does not act recklessly.
Chu Xiaxing was stunned when she heard the words, her eyes were rarely cold, and she said displeased: "Mr. Song, I told you before, don't be interested in the existence that you can't control, and don't speculate on the hearts of others too much. A dangerous thing."
What Song Wenye said when he watched "Man Ran" last time made her a confidant, but what he said now made her a little unhappy.
The reason was that she felt that he was right, and this was a terrible thing.
She can accept that the audience understands her own movies, but she does not accept others to understand her own heart.
Song Wenye was not repelled by her cold face, his eyes were soft, and he said relaxedly: "Director Chu, it's not that people can't understand each other. It's because you are afraid of being read by others, and you are very repulsive of losing control."
Seeing him calm and relaxed, Chu Xiaxing ridiculed, "No, I'm not afraid of being understood by others, I just don't want to be understood by Mr. Song, who is from an unknown source."
Song Wenye's pupils trembled slightly. Facing her full of disgust, he said blankly and innocently: "Why?"
Chu Xiaxing didn't bother to pay attention to him before. Now she is a little bit angry and becomes angry, and she naturally counters with a smile. "I think I am worthless. It is not worthy of the Yuansheng Group's executives to speculate. Of course, I don't want to be understood by you. From the beginning to the end, President Song was not honest enough. He never mentioned the reason for being close to me, and he asked me why?"
Chu Xiaxing didn't plan to be close to him in the past, so she naturally dealt with it as a partner, but now he said something beyond the distance, she cleared it through and decided to clear the distance cleanly.
Song Wenye was taken aback for a moment, he showed an unexpected look, as if he was considering the words, but he didn't answer for a while.
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows: "Why? Can't answer? Then I will guess based on your personality. You can be so appropriately concerned about others because of so many reasons. Did you know me before?"
Song Wenye honestly said: "I don't know."
Chu Xiaxing nodded calmly, and she continued to ask: "Oh, is that the relatives and friends who know me?"
Song Wenye faced her pressing step by step, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Chu Xiaxing said blankly: "Have you owed my family members before? Have you ever been taken care of by them?"
Chu Xiaxing has read countless personal biographies, and she can basically guess the character's history from her personality. Song Wenye is not someone who posted it for no reason. He can be tolerant of Xia Hong, and there must be a reason for taking care of her. This person has a strong sense of morality. He is very afraid of defaulting on favors and will always try his best to repay it. This is shown when the crew is visiting the crew.
Song Wenye didn't expect her speculation to be so accurate, he could only show off: "...Yes, I have met my uncle before, and he was taken care of as a child."
Song Wenye didn't mention it before because he was afraid that Chu Xiaxing would be burdened, but he didn't expect that she would be so sharp that she could push it out by himself.
Chu Xiaxing: "What month is your birthday?"
Song Wenye glanced at her unknownly, and replied, "September."
Chu Xiaxing said happily: "Okay, let's just use this number. You pay nine million to my account."
Song Wenye looked at her as she opened his mouth and asked for money, he was dumbfounded: "?" Is this topic jumping fast?
Song Wenye whispered: "...Can I ask the reason?"
Chu Xiaxing frowned directly, and she said unceremoniously: "If you want to hit it, don't talk too much!"
Song Wenye hesitated for a moment, he didn't provoke the irritable Chu director anymore, but slowly stood up, politely and kindly: "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."
Chu Xiaxing was upset when she saw him rubbing, she was still sitting on the open-air bench, waiting for him to return.
After a while, Song Wenye came back calmly holding the phone, and said calmly: "People have already been sent to transfer, it should take some time."
Chu Xiaxing nodded clearly. She jumped off the bench decisively, bowed her head and patted the corners of her clothes, and said generously: "Okay, Mr. Song, even if we have two debts, you don't need to be bound by morals. Don’t get involved with me anymore."
Chu Xiaxing made a carefree gesture. She showed a relaxed expression and said with a smile: "In the future, we will go to the other side of the road and you will no longer have to feel burdened."
Doesn't he just want to pay the debt, she just asks him to pay it back!
Song Wenye was slightly stiff when he heard this, he pressed his lips tightly, and looked at her carelessly, like a layer of opaque clouds, which seemed a bit unbelievable.
Chu Xiaxing didn't respond to his expression, she still looked like a fool.
A few seconds later, Song Wenye took a deep breath, calmed down his inner emotions, and said calmly, "I really don't have to feel burdened anymore."
Chu Xiaxing jokingly said: "Right, let Yuansheng's great leader follow me behind my ass, I myself have to look at it."
When Song Wenye heard her continue to make up for the knife mercilessly, he looked straight at Chu Xiaxing, and said slowly: "Since I have paid the debt, can we meet again?"
"I'm not considered as an unknown source now, I should be qualified to understand you."
His voice is like a double bass in an orchestra. No matter how it is suppressed by other instruments, he still has his own calm and powerful tone, with a gentle pace.
