Chapter 53 53

A few days later, Li Qiong and I arrived in Qingdao and lived in Qingdao's famous Taipingjiao Road. When boarding the plane from Beijing, Li Qiong also met a former colleague who flew with her domestically and is now the flight attendant of an international flight. When we met her, she had just finished her mission to Paris, wearing Wearing a decent uniform, she walked out of the work passage elegantly with a suitcase, and saw Li Qiong waving from a distance.Li Qiong asked me, "Are you waving to us?" "If it's with you, I don't know her anyway." When she got closer, Li Qiong could see who that person was. She took the stewardess's hand and almost jumped up happily, "You see, you are still so slender, how do you maintain it? It hasn't changed much from that time."

"You're still young, my son is five years old..." The two held hands and chatted in the lounge for a while. I was flipping through magazines in the bookstore next to me. The latest issue of Hong Kong Weekly introduced Gao Yuan's exhibition in Berlin. Next to the text is a photo of Gao Yuan at work. I was so happy that I paid for a copy and sat on a chair beside it to read it carefully. The weekly magazine said that Gao Yuan’s movies represent the new generation of Chinese The highest level of director is also a representative in the Asian film industry. They thought that Gao Yuan was the favorite to win the award. I was so excited that I called Gao Yuan at that time, but I was criticized by this workaholic.

On the plane, I showed the weekly magazine to Li Qiong. Li Qiong stared at the photo of Gao Yuan in his hand and smiled at me. The big sunglasses that cover half of the face, the lenses are slightly triangular, from a distance, it looks like a big-headed fly. After reading the report, Li Qiong smiled ferociously at me, "Okay, the plateau is finally over, you should clean up yourself, don't wear jeans and a vest all day long." "How can we clean it up? Isn't our soul beautiful?" "Don't look at the plateau, you have nothing to do with it now, just wait and see, and don't blame me for not reminding you." Li Qiong opened the visor, and the clouds outside the plane passed by us, flying fast.

I asked Li Qiong, "Li Qiong, how does it feel different to be an airplane?" She thought for a while, and looked at the back of a flight attendant for a long time, "If I hadn't married Xiaobei at that time, maybe I would have looked younger, and I would have been able to survive like my former colleague... ...Man, there is no way to say, you get it, you lose it, you lose it and you get it again...fuck." "Li Qiong, if something happens to the plane we're on... just this one, what do you want to do the most?" When I asked Li Qiong this question, I imagined the scene when I married Gao Yuan in my mind, and I thought, My mother will definitely dress beautifully and be very happy. Her daughter is finally married. I think Gao Yuan will be very happy too. The skin on his face is stretched together like a blooming flower. As for myself, I will definitely It was the one wearing a wedding dress with shoulders exposed, and many friends gathered around us with joy.

"I want to call Xiao Bei the most." Li Qiong turned his head out of the window, not knowing whether he was looking at the sky or the ground, "I want to tell him that I don't regret being with him for the past few years, and I even told him that I was going to die Now, I hope he can shed tears for me, cry for me..." She seemed to be muttering to herself, and then suddenly faced me, "This wish is simple, I will give you my best years I left him." She looked at the stewardesses passing by and smiled, "When I married Xiaobei, I was just like them, young and beautiful, and I am old." She looked very sad, which made me a little confused Overwhelmed.

"Come on, if you don't believe me, ask these girls, who doesn't want to be an actress, stewardess, rich lady, actress, you are good enough." When I said it myself, I felt my throat was astringent, and Li Qiong felt the bitterness in his heart. I should know. "Married people are different from unmarried people. You are much younger than me." She actually looked at me enviously. "Bullshit." I squeezed two words between my teeth, reached out and put down the visor again, the sun shone into my eyes, and tears would flow involuntarily. "If something really happened to this plane, Xiao Bei would cry." She looked at me with an unfathomable look behind the sunglasses, "Chu Xiao, what I told you that day was true, I mean, I It means... about Zhang Xiaobei, I often call your name in my dreams..."

"You should know who did it to you." I was a little indiscriminate, as if I didn't think about it, and blurted out a sentence. I didn't really want to know who did it, I just wanted to change the topic open. Li Qiong smiled at me knowingly, "It's all over, it doesn't matter who does it, how can you care about it." After she finished speaking, she leaned her head on the back of the chair and fell asleep. I didn't know whether she was talking about the murderers or me, and I was very disturbed. It took more than an hour from Beijing to Qingdao. The friend arranged by Dami Porridge was waiting for us at the airport, and after meeting us, he sent us directly to a seaside villa on the way to Taipingjiao.

It is said that a few years ago, taxis were not allowed in this area, because this area was the resting place for the central government leaders in summer. The road we lived on was all European-style small western-style buildings with a history of more than 100 years. It was built by the Germans back then. When you come out of the building, you can walk up to the seaside for more than 20 steps. Go out from another door and you will find a quiet path. Many green trees block the sun. Li Qiong and I live here. Beauty flies. Throwing the salute into the room, Li Qiong wandered around. One of us with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the other with a thick plaster cast on his arm, we walked around twice in slippers and shorts, not far from where we lived. Far away is a resort village, full of live seafood, Li Qiong immediately forgot all the unpleasant things in Beijing when he saw the seafood, turned his grief into appetite, and ate all he could.While eating, a tourist next to him recognized Li Qiong, ran over and pointed at Li Qiong's face, "Oh! I know you." He opened his mouth wide, and the two faces on it The mare humorously put on a figure of eight, Li Qiong and I were taken aback for a moment, we didn't know this person, Li Qiong was really taken aback, wiped his mouth, and asked him, "I'm sorry, who are you?"

"I'm a viewer, hey, viewer, I've seen you on TV..." Before he finished speaking, I saw Li Qiong heaved a sigh of relief.She adjusted her big sunglasses and smiled at them, "Oh, hello, hello." The person in front of him still thought to that, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, you are the one... Look at my memory, why can't I remember it for a while, it's on the far side..." When he was anxious, his face turned It was red, his entire facial expression was like a deformed potato, ten times more pitiful than Li Qiong's beaten face, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, you are that, that, that ...That's right, your name is Li Xia!" He laughed, his whole face as if someone had just pulled it out of a blender, "Oh, Li Xia, we all like to watch your shows, I heard you are from Xinjiang People? We are fellow villagers, fellow villagers, my hometown is Lanzhou..."

When I heard it, I almost swallowed a crab claw directly. Damn, where did this kind of person come out? Don’t tell me if you misidentified the person, and even said that Lanzhou is from Xinjiang. I guess, it’s not him at the moment If he was too drunk, it was when his father was too drunk that he and his mother jointly gave birth to him. I looked at Li Qiong, that guy's face turned blue. The enthusiastic audience was still chattering, "Oh, Li Xia, last time you starred in the Princess of the Desert, we all watched it, it was very good, it was very good... By the way, do you have a boyfriend? Now, everyone in the family is fine. ……"

I thought to myself that this is fucking in Qingdao, I don’t know Li Qiong’s place of life well, and I’m going to eat at the ginger duck in Beijing, I’m so angry, I’ll definitely wave my hand and shout again: Come on , pull it down, call me!Here, I really dare not. "I said this master, you have identified the wrong person, you have identified the wrong person, she is not Li Xia, nor is she an actress, she is our waiter, just a waiter, you made a mistake." Enthusiastic audience stopped. "No, no, people in the literary and art circles are all like this. If people recognize you, you will never admit it." He shook his head desperately, pointing at me, "You can't be her manager, I can see that you are the literary and art circle The people here, look, otherwise why would she wear sunglasses, people in the literary and art circles always wear sunglasses when you go out..." I really wanted to wave my hand and punch him, if it wasn't for the fear that I wouldn't be able to beat him, and Li Qiong wouldn't be able to run fast.No way, I yelled: "Waiter, call the manager!" Like that day, there were many times when Li Qiong was recognized by the enthusiastic audience. There were a few times when Li Qiong was in a good mood, he signed his name for others in a serious manner. I really didn't expect it. This guy has only debuted for a few days, yet he is so famous!Even I, an old Jianghu who has been in the circle for so many years, has never managed to get someone to sign back. I was disappointed and comforted myself, who made me the hero behind the scenes. In the evening, Li Qiong and I usually go to a bar called Lang Yuan not far from where we live to have some drinks. Several times, Li Qiong got drunk and I got drunk too. They ran wildly on the deserted street until their legs became weak and they couldn't move anymore. Regardless of whether they were clean or not, they just lay down on the ground. After lying down enough, they helped each other back to the villa. I went to Langyuan again that day, and actually saw the long-lost old B’s ex-husband inside. He sat around with another group of local actors, talking nonsense, like a gangster brother, sitting next to him. The chick looked at him adoringly. As soon as I saw him, I rushed forward in two steps and shouted, "Take out your ID card!" He turned around in surprise, saw Li Qiong and me, and immediately laughed out loud, saying, "What's the matter, the big screenwriter, came here to experience life again? This time it's not..." I knew he wanted to talk about prostitution, so I immediately took He picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate on the table and blocked his mouth. Then he introduced me and Li Qiong to the people present, "Here, a big disaster in Beijing, Chu Xiao, Gao Yuan's wife." He slapped him, "I'm not married yet!" He laughed loudly , and introduced to the people around him, "Although I'm not married yet, there are already many facts." He then introduced Li Qiong, "This, big beauty, actress Li Qiong." All the people present were very excited and dragged us to sit down. A reporter from a local newspaper immediately came over to do an exclusive interview with Li Qiong. Another reporter from Jinan also dragged me, insisting that I talk about the plateau.Li Qiong and I were almost beaten to death by them, and we managed to break free after three times, but the bar owner chased us out again, and he wanted to drag us back and buy us a drink, he said very sincerely, "Look, you are here So many times, I didn't pay attention, if you know it's you, I have to give a discount anyway, let's go, let's go, let's go back and have a drink or two, I'll treat you." Li Qiong was so scared that he didn't care about me, and ran away Well, she was also wearing sunglasses in Daheitian, but she didn't bump into the wall. After that time at the Langyuan Bar, Li Qiong and I settled down for a while. The wound on her face has healed. Occasionally she would go to the beach to swim, and I would watch her on the beach. Occasionally we also went to Qingdao’s famous Zhongshan Road, a commercial street, sells some gadgets, goes to the trestle bridge to enjoy the breeze, and goes to a real fishing village to watch fishermen go out to sea. Most of the time, we both stay in the villa and don’t go out. There is no phone, and no one comes to us. I will The conceived script was dictated, and Li Qiong helped me type it out. Like sisters, we lived happily and hurriedly every day. Often after dinner, the two of us take a walk along the wall by the sea, talking about the stories when we first met many years ago, and laughing unscrupulously in the crowd. Calm, very happy, when I can't sleep, I think about Gao Yuan, wondering how his new movie is going, Li Qiong also calls Hu Jun every now and then, the days are just as fleeting as usual. In a blink of an eye, three months passed. Li Qiong and I finished the script for the cultural company. The weather in Qingdao in October began to heat up. We returned to Beijing. I didn’t expect that Beijing was waiting for me. Farce that borders on disaster.
