…

The capital, Linshui Mansion.

Of course Wen Xingze can’t blow suona, not to mention that he doesn’t have a suona in his hand, even if he does have it, it is impossible to blow it at Ji Meng’s Christmas Eve banquet! What’s going on? !

Although the atmosphere of this banquet is obviously more easy-going, Wen Xingze came here wearing a hooded sweater. He originally planned to change into a formal dress after he came. Before entering the door, he found that he might not need to change it-wear everything, not to mention the hooded sweater. , There was even a middle-aged uncle who walked in with a thermos cup and swayed a fan.

After the guests confirmed that Wen Xingze really didn’t intend to blow suona, they were truly lost, and the atmosphere on the first floor was suddenly a little depressed:

“I really want to hear it, I have a friend who heard it in the “Yulongye” group, and he always shows off…”

“Since listening to Xiao Wen Suona jump over Di, I have no taste in other wines!”

“I thought Xiaowen was going to sue the band and dismissed the band. It’s really not as good as heaven.”

“Meow–”

“Is the band deliberately dismissed?” Wen Xingze is getting more and more confused. Is it because he didn’t know that Suona has become an exclusive instrument for national holiday celebrations? Is it a bit too sudden, “And this is not Is the banquet for the Queen of Seasons? You dismissed the band. How can you tell the Queen of Seasons?”

Ji Meng is a well-known woman in the history of Chinese film. In Wen Xingze’s conjecture, she must be the kind with a poem and book-like spirit, a special aesthetic taste, high and low-quality, and music must be listened to by a Vienna master…

Everyone: “…”

Wen Xingze: “…”

Wait a minute, who was he talking to just now?

“I thought they were too expensive, and the performances were not good. They were in a posture that didn’t want me to live a long life.” The voice master who had just spoken to Wen Xingze walked out of the crowd, and the crowd consciously separated a path. , It was a woman holding a white cat, “It’s better to listen to Suona, cool.”

…It turned out to be Ji Meng himself!

Ji Meng is over 50 years old this year and is well maintained. Even though the years left a lot of marks on the corners of her eyes, it turned out to make her show a different kind of charm and tolerance, beautiful and free.

She wore a tailored red dress, and the white cat in her arms was fat, lazily licking its paws. Ji Meng walked down the spiral staircase, and the juniors on the first floor stared at her blankly. There was a feeling of admiration and trepidation when facing the big senior.

Ji Meng walked in front of Wen Xingze, and Wen Xingze didn’t know what to do for a while, leaning over and giving a kiss.

This is what makes Ji Mengle a flower. Although Ji Meng is from Tianjin, she married an Englishman. She likes this kind of gentlemanly little etiquette.

Everyone looked at Ji Meng. Even though most of the elders and Ji Meng at the scene were friends, they really didn’t dare to act rashly after meeting Ji Ying.

Ji Meng looked around, laughed, and clapped his hands to announce: “What are you doing in a daze? Let’s eat, wait for Xiaowen and I to tell you the cross talk? We forgot what we came here tonight?”

Wen Xingze answered casually, “Isn’t it. Can you tell me something?”

Ji Meng: “?”

Everyone: “?”

“Hey,” Ji Meng suddenly meant to meet his opponent, “To make a long story short, we are here today to celebrate our good friends from childhood…”

Everyone feels the DNA is starting to move.

Wen Xingze interrupted the cast in time: “What’s this all about! Let’s let people eat!”

Ji Meng: “Well, parents of food and clothing have to remember to buy tickets and refuse to use prostitutes.”

Wen Xingze: “Thanks for listening.”

Then Wen Xingze and Ji Meng made a curtain call and bowed together.

“…”

“Hahahahahahaha!!!!”

Everyone burst into laughter!

The slightly embarrassing atmosphere just disappeared instantly. Everyone had never thought that Ji Meng was of this character before. He didn’t hold it at all. How approachable a senior! At the same time, I couldn’t help but look at Wen Xingze again in my heart. This adaptability and emotional intelligence are really not comparable to ordinary people.

Everyone scattered around, each looking for food to find friends. Of course, Wen Xingze couldn’t continue to stand next to Ji Meng. Although he came to Ji Meng tonight, it is obviously not a suitable place to ask for advice. Wen Xingze intends to wait for a suitable opportunity later:

“Sister, then I’m going to eat first.”

Ji Meng’s elder sister’s name was ecstatic. There should be no women who don’t want to be called sister by a handsome guy. Don’t mention how happy she is, and said: “Okay, you are free, just be your own home.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Xingze turned around, suddenly a paw was placed on his coat, grabbing Wen Xingze’s hood:

“Meow—”

Wen Xingze: “?”

Wen Xingze slammed the brakes again and again, turned around and squatted, staring at the white cat in Ji Meng’s arms.

This cat Ji Meng has been raised for more than 20 years. It is a stray cat who came home with a ham sausage on the side of the road when filming a movie, and a Linqing lion cat with mandarin ducks and different pupils. Ji Meng loves this cat very much, like a baby, but the cat’s condition doesn’t look very good-the white hair is very dull, and the whole cat is ashamed, as if sick.

“Is it sick?” Wen Xingze couldn’t help asking, and the cat cleverly handed the pad to Wen Xingze’s hand, Ren Rua.

“I have a cold. I don’t like to eat or drink for several days.” When I mentioned this Ji Meng, I was sad. “I have seen a private veterinarian for several times. They all said that Ji Mi Tuan is a cold. Take some Suuo. Just keep warm…”

It’s winter, and it’s normal for an elderly cat to catch a cold. Their domestic cat Ji Mi Tuan doesn’t like to wear clothes. Ji Meng can only hold it for artificial warmth. But after taking the medicine for so long, I haven’t heard of it for a moment to keep warm, but the illness never gets better.

“…It’s okay.” Ji Meng shook his head and smiled, realizing that it was useless to talk to Wen Xingze, and Xiao Wen was not a professional veterinarian. What’s more, professional veterinarians are not good.

Ji Mi Tuan dragged his throat: “Meow–”

This cat is more than 20 years old, and in terms of human age, it is equivalent to a centenarian… an old cat. Wen Xingze leaned down, and the white cat who could have imagined suddenly stretched out its claws and patted it randomly on Wen Xingze’s head.

In the next second, two white beast ears grew on Wen Xingze’s head.

Fluffy, soft, and trembling in the air.

Wen Xingze: “…”

Ji Meng: “…”

Wen Xingze: “Hush.”

Once he was born and then cooked again, Wen Xingze covered his ears and squatted down before the others noticed it. He heard the white cat scream more than once:

“Meow—you human kid, can you understand me now?”

Wen Xingze never expected that this beast ear was not a decoration, and he could understand what the cat said. !

Ji Mi Tuan’s golden and blue pupils blinked, and finally gave birth to some dazzling colors from their sleepiness: “Meow, I am mad at me. I don’t have a cold at all. Meow, those people told my master not to let me eat well. The snacks I eat won’t let me catch butterflies on the windowsill…”

Wen Xingze thought it was verbose, but out of respect for the elders, he still patiently listened to these complaints and the inconsistent chatter of the preface.

“You don’t have a cold? What’s going on, looking listless.” Wen Xingze asked when he finally stopped talking in Ji Mi Tuan.

“Of course I don’t have a cold, Meow,” the white cat licked her paw nonchalantly. “I’m just going to die, Meow.”

Wen Xingze was stunned.

The life span of a cat is indeed only more than twenty years long. Unlike humans, many animals in nature have a premonition of their death in advance.

It’s rare for Ji Meng to see Ji Mi Tuan’s spirited look. He looked down at her happily. The old white cat licked Ji Meng’s cheek with his head up and said, “Meow…Bah, the smell of liquid foundation.”

Wen Xingze: “…”

Ji Meng was even more surprised: “Jimi Tuan has never licked me.” Cats are different from dogs. Not every cat loves to lick humans.

Ji Mi Tuan: “Meow! Meow…”

Wen Xingze listened carefully.

Ji Meng didn’t speak any more, she seemed to feel something, leaving absolutely quiet time for Wen Xingze and White Cat. About five minutes later, the white cat stopped talking, but lay back in Ji Meng’s arms cleverly. The beast ears on Wen Xingze’s head also returned to their original shape.

Ji Meng: “How to say?”

“He wants to eat ham,” Wen Xingze said, “the kind you gave him when you first met him.”

Salt in ham sausage is actually bad for cat kidneys, but Ji Mi Tuan doesn’t like cat food for several days. Ji Meng didn’t even care about being still on the way to the banquet, so he immediately called his assistant to buy ham sausage.

The assistant didn’t dare to neglect, and soon came back with the ham. Ji Meng just peeled the ham, and Ji Mi Tuan, who didn’t want to eat for several days, opened his mouth and gobbled it up!

When the two ham sausages went down, the white cat regained his spirit, and even went to the ground and left. It stretched lazily on the ground, its tail hooked Xingze’s legs, and after two laps around Ji Meng, it suddenly rubbed upstairs again.

They quickly followed.

Ji Mi Tuan went straight to the third floor with a definite destination. After going around all corners, he didn’t know where to bite out a shabby ball of wool, playing with Ji Meng like a cat.

“Xiao Wen, thank you,” Ji Jimeng was not too happy. “I heard from them before that you know a lot of things. I didn’t expect you to cure Mi Tuan’s disease.”

Wen Xingze didn’t know what to say, his heart felt sour, and he suddenly couldn’t bear to look any more: “I…I really didn’t do anything, then, I will go down first.”

The life of a cat is very short, even if the owner takes good care of it, it can live up to more than 20 years.

All creatures live on their own time scale. For cats, twenty years is a lifetime. The life of a cat is too short for humans.

——What about human life for cosmic creatures? What about bionics?

On this winter night, Wen Xingze finally realized this problem very clearly. He can only live for a hundred years at most.

In the definition of a robot parent, it is considered a puppy love before the age of two hundred. The dragons, blood, mermaid, bionics… his parents, his lovers, and the most important people in his life all have a life span that is so long as if they are boundless.

The coldness of the long river of years clung to Wen Xingze’s bones a little bit, on this night when he was still very young.

One day he will leave them, and this time after a long absence, there will be no reunion.

“Xiao Wen,” Ji Meng’s call from behind interrupted Wen Xingze’s thoughts. She said, “Wait a minute.”

Wen Xingze turned around.

-Downstairs is the bustling lights of the banquet, upstairs is only softly covered with the light of the moon and wall lamps, the night is as cool as water. The old chubby white cat bit the ball of yarn and rolled on the ground, then went to lick Ji Meng’s palm.

Ji Meng looked at the cat.

After a while, she looked up at Wen Xingze again.

Then she smiled and asked:

“Mi Tuan will leave me soon, right?”

Many cats who have never licked people for a lifetime will suddenly start licking their owners before they die, which is equivalent to helping their owners “groom their hair”.

This is a kind of unreasonable instinct. It may be to help the owner to dress up beautifully, or it may be to keep his own taste on the owner for a longer time.

I also want to play previous games with my owner, and I want to eat the food I ate when I first saw the owner.

Animals’ emotions are not as rich and abundant as humans, but Wen Xingze sometimes thinks that they must be so reluctant to have this instinct…like wanting to go back to the past long ago, to the way they were when they were young, and life Meet the most important person here again.

But the hand of time has always been unselfish and selfless. After the hand is held tight, it will not relax a little because of anyone’s prayer.

“I actually guessed it, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast this day.” Ji Meng brought a glass of red wine and stood by the window. The tired Ji Mi Tuan lay in her arms and snored.

“It was raining heavily back then, it was hiding under my car, the little one was very dirty and pitiful, whoever called it would follow…”

Ji Meng’s eyes were a little red, and soon she blinked to conceal the emotion.

Ji Meng said that he didn’t actually need to get an answer, so Wen Xingze just listened quietly beside him.

“…Xiao Wen, I still have to thank you.” After Ji Meng finished speaking, she looked out the window in silence. She has slowly sorted out her emotions and can face everything calmly.

Suddenly, Ji Meng looked at Wen Xingze and sighed: “It really is the person Chi Yan likes. The child’s vision of Chi Yan is very good.”

Wen Xingze: “?”

“Hahaha, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone,” Ji Meng said, “I guess-today, your late actor called me several times in an unprecedented way. Please ask me to take care of you. It seems I didn’t guess. wrong.”

Ji Meng let out a sigh of relief: “Come on, let’s talk.”

“Really want to talk?” Wen Xingze immediately felt a little embarrassed, his ears were a little red, “Uh, I am indeed in a relationship with Teacher Chi, we were in the beginning–”

“??” Ji Meng was caught off guard and was stuffed with dog food, almost laughing to death, “Hahahahaha, I said, talk about the bottleneck you encountered in the filming of Lao Li.” Who said about the love experience?

Wen Xingze: “…” This is too embarrassing!

“Why is this child so cute, where did Chi Yan pick up such a baby?” Ji Meng made a gesture to call Chi Yan, but Wen Xingze finally dissuaded him.

Wen Xingze knew that Ji Meng was going to help him, and was very grateful, of course, he didn’t say much. He told Ji Meng carefully about the situations he encountered during the filming, especially the situation with Chi Yan.

Ji dreamed about it, and simply said: “You play a section for me, here, this section.”

Wen Xingze Yiyan acted.

“Xiao Wen, you are indeed very talented,” Ji Meng made no secret of his appreciation for the younger generation, “…oh! I see!”

“After all, you just started making movies. I know your modern state… You are pursuing ‘technique’ and ‘perfection’, but instead you forgot your own existence.”

This is a state that many actors will have. The higher the talent, the easier it is.

No one’s acting is perfect.

When challenging a difficult character, some good actors may try to eliminate themselves, turn themselves into an empty shell, and then enter the soul of that character.

This method is not necessarily wrong, but for a child with a distinct personality like Wen Xingze, it is more suitable for him to integrate himself with the character. He is a very typical experiential school.

Chi Yan and Wen Xingze are good at acting in different directions. “Your late actor can teach you basic skills, but it really can’t solve your dilemma.”

……Ji Ying Queen is indeed the Queen of Ji Ying, and in a few words, he analyzed Wen Xingze’s problem clearly. Wen Xingze suddenly felt that the mist shrouded in front of him had dispersed a little, but it had not been completely cleared.

Then, Ji Meng called the assistant again, and after a while, the assistant brought a notebook.

“These are some of the insights and experiences I recorded when I was filming in my early years,” Ji Meng said, “you can watch it when you have time, it should help.”

“…!” Wen Xingze was flattered at once, and he didn’t know how to thank her, “Thank you Senior Ji, when “Dust Planet” won the best actor award, I will definitely invite you to dinner…”

Wen Xingze is really a confident kid.

Ji Meng was drinking water and almost choked. He looked at Wen Xingze more and more and liked it: “Puff – well, I’ll wait!”

Wen Xingze: “What can I do to help you?”

Ji Meng is strange: “Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m not hungry.” Wen Xingze said immediately. After speaking, his stomach groaned.

Wen Xingze: “…”

Ji Meng: “…”

Ji Mengle was overwhelmed and drove Wen Xingze down to dry the food.

“Zubzai Development Plan”.

“Ding Dong, congratulations to the parents, the current side task has been successfully completed!”

“In order to facilitate the opening of the travel system and the successful completion of the hidden ending conditions, the parents’ travel application is open for a limited time, the countdown is ten or nine… Congratulations to the parents of the orcs, the appointment is successful!”

“…”

Linshui Mansion.

There were still many people on the first floor waiting for Wen Xingze to blow suona. Wen Xingze was afraid that he would be besieged, so they went to the second floor. The entire Linshui Mansion is from Jiyinghou. The third floor is the bedroom, open-air swimming pool and garden, and the second floor is the living room.

Wen Xingze quietly took the dinner plate on the first floor and went to the balcony on the second floor.

I’m not actively doing food, and my brain is problematic.

Wen Xingze was actually hungry very early, but because he was thinking about some propositions about life, and because he was discussing acting with Ji Meng, he forgot about hunger for a while. As soon as this was finished, that feeling immediately surged, Wen Xingze was starving to death.

The craftsmanship of the chef in Ji Yinghou’s family is nothing to say. Wen Xingze does not need to deliberately go on a diet in “Dust Planet”, just keep the original figure, so he took two slices of roast duck on the first floor.

The skin of the duck roasted on charcoal with Shanghaoguo is ruddy and greasy, and exudes a crisp, burnt aroma that makes the population watery. One bite, the meat is fat but not greasy, and tender on the outside…Unfortunately, there are only two slices, and Wen Xingze is immersed in this rare delicacy, and he still has no idea after eating.

Wen Xingze turned around, and just wanted to go down and add something, but saw someone who never thought he would see here.

——It turned out to be Xu Baijing.

“Wen Xingze, long time no see.” Xu Baijing stood behind him and said coldly, “I didn’t expect to see me here.”

Xu Baijing looked haggard a lot. Obviously, his life was not very good, and he was no longer the same extravagant style as before, as if he had entered the Linshui Mansion to serve dishes.

Click, a drop of water fell from the terrace.

Time seems to stand still.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… five seconds later.

Wen Xingze’s eyes were confused: “…Sorry, are you?”

Xu Baijing: “…”

Xu Baijing died of anger: “I am Xu Baijing!!!”

Wen Xingze: “?”

“Grass, you absolutely pretended,” Xu Baijing gritted his teeth, “We used to be a variety show, you can’t forget… I am the protagonist of “The Giant Koi is Super Rich”!”

Wen Xingze’s confusion does not seem to be fake: “???? What are you talking about?”

“Don’t pretend, I really want to tear up your face,” Xu Baijing suddenly stopped being angry and sighed, “I know, you also know that this world is a book…I won’t be against you anymore. You can rest assured.”

Wen Xingze: “Have you ever been against me before? I’m sorry, because it’s really irrelevant to me, I don’t remember it anymore.”

This is the truth…

Xu Baijing: “I fucking—”

Wen Xingze felt that Xu Baijing was still the same as before, really lacking in temperament. If he said a few words, his angry face would be crooked.

But surprisingly, Xu Baijing actually endured it this time and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here, and I should never see you again. I took this opportunity to tell you the truth.”

Wen Xingze was startled: “The truth?”

The parallel world they are in is a book called “The Rich Koi is Super Rich”. The protagonist is Xu Baijing, and Wen Xingze is the little cannon fodder inside-he thinks this is the truth, look at Xu Baijing’s meaning, and other What he didn’t know?

Xu Baijing opened a can of beer, walked to Wen Xingze, and said, “Actually, I am not the protagonist, I am wearing a book.”

Wen Xingze: “I guessed it.”

After awakening his self-consciousness, he vaguely realized that “The Giant Koi is Super Rich” is actually a best-selling novel. If the protagonist of this best-selling novel is really Xu Baijing, it is impossible to become popular.

“Where is the original Xu Baijing?” Wen Xingze asked him, “Original owner, he was taken over by you, and you robbed him of his due life and relatives. You owe him an apology.”

Xu Baijing laughed at himself and said, “Where is the original Xu Baijing… Wen Xingze, the protagonist of this book was originally you.”

Wen Xingze: “…?????”

grass.

This is something he didn’t expect.

“I once read this book. You have five adoptive fathers in this book-because of a certain agreement, they all decided to adopt you. With the help of the five fathers, your life goes smoothly and you quickly reach the top. Entertainment.”

“When I crossed over, I was just an unknown person,” Xu Baijing said, “I…jealous, I don’t understand why, you can be born with those, if I have the conditions like yours, I can definitely become the protagonist of this story. .”

So, Xu Baijing, who came through the book, dropped the baby in the swaddle. He naturally owns everything he once envied.

But the result is obvious, he failed.

The plot that Wen Xingze saw after awakening his self-awareness was already the plot that Xu Baijing, a book wearer, intervened and modified. In other words, what he knew was how Xu Baijing hyped and sold corruption and how to rob various people. The resources of Xingze and the various ambiguities with several adoptive fathers are the plot trend after Xu Baijing Chuanshu’s intervention-if Wen Xingze had not awakened his self-consciousness.

That is not the original face of the book. It seems that I really blamed the author.

Wen Xingze: “…”

Wen Xingze was shocked.

How can it be so cliché…

“I have lost everything now. There is no place for me in the entertainment industry. My five fathers were extremely disappointed in me and gave up on me.” Xu Baijing laughed at himself, “I came here today, but you are just a friend. You It must have been personally invited by Ji Yinghou.”

“…I’m sorry,” Xu Baijing actually bowed deeply to Wen Xingze, and he said in a reluctant tone, “I stole your life. If you want, I can give you everything back, and I can follow My five fathers said that what they should really adopt is—”

Wen Xingze: “???”

Imagine what Xu Sichao and Xu Bianzhou are his fathers. Wen Xingze is about to explode, and I feel like I am getting goosebumps: “No, no, no, no, I have parents, I really don’t care. ……Uh, no need!!!”

Xu Baijing felt that he was stubborn, why would anyone be unfamiliar? Xu Baijing smiled sadly: “How could they not be needed? They are very powerful. With such parents, you will surely be even more powerful…”

Parents of the muse: “???”

Are humans floating or are they unable to handle the knife? !

What offal, dare Xiao want to be the father of their cub? !
