After Being Scumbed - Chapter 45

After the Thorn Flower Award, Zuo Jingyou reinvested in his busy work. Without seeing Zuo Jingyou, the fixed video call at 11 o’clock every evening becomes the only source of happiness for Yin Bai’s second-oh, another source of happiness is playing with his friends.

In her busy life, Zuo Jingyou allocated part of her time to Yin Bai to cultivate the feelings between them.

Since Zuo Jingyou set the time, Yin Bai has become the little fox in The Little Prince waiting to be tamed by his friends. Take a shower at ten o’clock in the evening every day and do all the skin care work. Open a book at half past ten and read it while waiting for eleven o’clock to come.

Usually when ten thirty comes, Yin Bai will feel restless. But as time approaches eleven o’clock, this anxiety will be filled with happiness and joy.

Zuo Jingyou is a very punctual person. Since the appointment is made, no matter what the occasion is, he will make a fixed video call to Yin Bai. The only time I drank a little while socializing, I missed the time to call Yin Bai without hearing the alarm clock on my mobile phone.

When she remembered the time and hurried to ask the assistant for her phone, it was already half past eleven.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Jingyou quickly found an excuse, hid in the toilet and dialed Yin Bai’s video call. The call was basically answered in seconds, and Yin Bai’s beautiful face appeared on the screen after a while. She tightened her brows and said anxiously, “What’s the matter? Why is your face so red? Is something wrong with you? NS?”

Although Yin Bai lent Zhang Yu to Zuo Jingyou, in order to maintain the distance between the two, Yin Bai did not use his assistant to inquire about Zuo Jingyou’s itinerary as before.

Zuo Jingyou leaned against the sink, his face flushed slightly. She raised her eyes, smiled lightly, looked at Yin Bai on the screen and said with a vague look: “I thought that the first line you said would be asking me why I missed the appointment tonight?”

Yin Bai drooped the corners of his mouth and said unhappily, “Am I such an unreasonable person? Seeing his friend’s look so embarrassed and in a dangerous situation, how could he still think of this one. What’s the matter?”

Zuo Jingyou found the hidden information in her words, and Yin Bai was still angry because of her missed appointment.

Zuo Jingyou raised her hand and patted her face, and said with a strong spirit: “I’m fine, I’m just too worried that you will be angry because of my missed appointment. Then, I won’t know how to coax you.”

The corners of Zuo Jingyou’s lips twitched slightly, and some teasing said like a baby, “Yin Bai, you are so hard to coax.”

Yin Bai watched her face flushed, his eyes blurred with a drunken head, and his brows frowned: “Am I? There is a reason for your missed appointment, of course I won’t be angry.”

She squashed her mouth and watched Zuo Jingyou’s appearance in the video. She finally sighed and said: “Zuo Jingyou, if you drink too much, let Zhang Yu take you away soon. You drank too much by yourself. , It’s always a little unsafe.”

Zuo Jingyou nodded and smiled: “I was planning to leave.” After that, Zuo Jingyou raised the corner of his mouth and looked unhappy: “Hey, among the people I met today, there is an annoyance. …”

Yin Bai puzzled: “How to say?”

Zuo Jingyou sighed and looked at Yin Bai helplessly: “She’s pursuing me… both inside and out don’t mind if I have a child. She means being rich…”

Zuo Jingyou bit her lip lightly and looked at Yin Bai faintly: “I think it’s very annoying. I have no plans to remarry.”

Yin Bai could perceive how annoying she was from Zuo Jingyou’s tone. She thought for a moment, and said to Zuo Jingyou: “This is unavoidable. As long as it is for socializing, you will inevitably encounter these strange people.”

Zuo Jingyou tilted his head, looked at her deeply, and did not speak any more.

Yin Bai pursed his lips and hesitated for a while and said, “Actually, you don’t have to go to the party on your own. Whether it’s film distribution, investment, negotiation on theaters, announcements…you can give it to others. “

Zuo Jingyou lightly opened her lips, and asked leisurely: “For example, who?”

Yin Bai straightened his back and looked at Zuo Jingyou without blinking his eyes and said, “Like me. I have a mature film announcement line in my hand. I can help you deal with anything if you want.”

Zuo Jingyou curled his lips with a smile, and said softly, “But it would be too troublesome for you.” She knew very well how much Yin Bai was afraid of trouble, so she would be a rich third generation of doing nothing at home. .

Yin Bai tightened his lips and said for a while, “But friends sometimes need to trouble each other. Since I can help you in your career and I am willing to be your sharp edge, why don’t you be happy? Accept it heartily?” As long as you accept her help, you can go out to socialize without having to go out so often.

Zuo Jingyou raised his hand, rubbed his painful forehead, and said helplessly: “Yin Bai, I am very happy that you are willing to help me, but I don’t know what I can bring you.”

“What else is there, business returns are not enough.”

Zuo Jingyou sighed, looked at Yin Bai and said helplessly: “But your heavy friendship is just a business return is not enough. I will unconsciously feel that I owe you too much, too much… and thus psychological imbalance and destruction. The relationship between us. This will make the emotions between us seem not so pure.”

“Yin Bai, I will be very relaxed with your help. But even without your help, I can still handle these things well.”

Yin Bai curled his lips and fell into a depression: “I see, you don’t need me.”

Zuo Jingyou smiled helplessly, slowed down her tone, and softly coaxed her: “Well, I obviously need you. Obviously work is very hard, but every day I think of a friend waiting to meet me at eleven o’clock. I am very happy.”

“After ten o’clock every night, my work efficiency is the highest, because I have to deal with everything before eleven o’clock to see you.”

Zuo Jingyou leaned on the sink, looked at Yin Bai softly and said, “Between friends, being able to draw the warmth of moving on from each other is the greatest help.”

Not in terms of money, nor in terms of benefits, but in terms of emotions, she really needs Yin Bai.

Yin Bai understood what she was saying, and clenched one hand into a fist to cheer her up: “Well, since this is the case, my friend, then I will cheer you up every day!”

“Meet at eleven o’clock every evening. I will definitely give you a lot of motivation, okay?”

Zuo Jingyou nodded, bending his eyebrows and smiling at Yin Bai: “Okay, next time, I will definitely not be late.”

Zuo Jingyou did what he said and never missed another appointment. Whether it’s windy or raining, whether at home or on the road, at eleven o’clock every day, Yin Bai can receive a video call from Zuo Jingyou while sitting on the bed.

Sometimes when Zuo Jingyou is ready, he will call her on the bed in pajamas. Sometimes when he was not ready, Zuo Jingyou leaned against the window of the rear seat and looked at her softly with a mobile phone with a tired makeup.

Most of the time, the duration of the call was only a few minutes, because Yin Bai was sleepy very quickly, and Zuo Jingyou was too busy. But as long as Zuo Jingyou is free, Yin Bai can chat with each other until twelve o’clock, until he can’t hold on anymore, and then he falls into a deep sleep while holding the phone.

In so many video meetings, Yin Bai had seen Zuo Jingyou a lot of appearances. Tired, lethargic, radiant, and energetic… But no matter which Zuo Jingyou is, she is full of expectations for tomorrow.

Time blinked until late September. After Yin Bai took the children to the beach for vacation, sent Tongtong to the first grade of elementary school, and so on, it finally ushered in the premiere of Zuo Jingyou’s debut.

On September 29, Yin Bai rarely gave Jin Xiangyu a holiday. He brought his familiar employees and Zuo Jingyou’s mother, Sun Yulan, to the capital to participate in the premiere of Zuo Jingyou’s film.

In the dimly lit auditorium, Yin Bai sat in the guest seat, holding the crutches in his hand, looking up at Zuo Jingyou, who led a group of protagonists sitting in the front row.

This time, Zuo Jingyou put on a white cheongsam with beautiful bamboo, elegant and beautiful, slim and moving. The light in the field gathered on Zuo Jingyou, and under the hazy light, the woman wearing a cheongsam was like a peerless beauty from an old story, very touching.

Yin Bai stared at Zuo Jingyou on the stage, watching her calmly face the host’s various sharp and ridiculous questions and answers, his mind swayed.

She is so good-looking, Zuo Jingyou, wearing a cheongsam, is so beautiful that people can’t look away.

Yin Bai thought so, leaning on the crutches, keeping his head up, and fixed his eyes on Zuo Jingyou.

At this moment, the film interview came to an end. Zuo Jingyou took the microphone and turned his head to look down the stage. He watched the countless filmmakers present and said with a smile, “I hope this movie will make you like it, my friends.”

The voice fell, and there was a round of applause from the audience.

In this lively applause, Zuo Jingyou tilted her head and glanced in Yin Bai’s direction as if nothing. When meeting Yin Bai’s focused gaze, Zuo Jingyou couldn’t help bending his lips and smiled.

She is looking very seriously, is she looking at herself, or is she looking at this cheongsam?

Thinking of this, Zuo Jingyou handed the microphone over to the host, and brought a main creative from the stage to the audience.

Soon, all the lights in the auditorium were extinguished, the huge white curtain fell, and a projection seemed to come across the distant years, and fell on the white curtain, casting a misty picture.

The picture above the curtain flickered, and gradually revealed an old shadow of the late Qing Dynasty: in the lively long street, a young woman wearing a men’s suit, braiding her hair and wearing a hat, carrying a suitcase, Passed by countless men and women with shaved heads and small feet.

Carrying the suitcase, she walked around the seemingly bustling street, through the alleys, and when she came to a mansion with two stone lions in front of it, she opened the copper ring with her slender hand and knocked on the door.

With a creak, the door slowly opened.

The handsome young woman raised her head, calmly looked at the person in front of her, and said hello politely: “Hello, I am the new gentleman, please tell me…”

As the voice fell, the thick but mottled vermilion door slowly opened. A few large characters faded into the picture from the open door, and finally gradually solidified, engraved on the screen, forming three large characters: Mr. Female

With the appearance of the title, this story about the awakening of women’s consciousness and the awakening of national and national consciousness in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China also unfolded.
