Chapter 21

Zhou Ze was already guilty, and this made him even more frightened thinking that he had said something wrong, so he nodded and bowed his head: "Auntie, hello, I'm Zhou Ze."

After coming out, Zhou Ze asked Wang Yiyi: "Is my mother dissatisfied with me?"

Wang Yiyi kept holding back her laughter in front of her mother. She had never seen Zhou Ze shy like this. After she came out, she lost all scruples and laughed so hard that she squatted on the side of the road holding her belly and almost burst into tears, " No, you just get used to it."

Zhou Ze took it for granted that Wang Yiyi's words were just casually perfunctory him, and became even more nervous. He hid aside and silently reflected on what he had done to make his mother-in-law hate him so much.

After much deliberation, it is to hide the matter of getting the certificate from both parents, and wait until the Dongchuang incident is revealed before telling the matter.

Only after meeting Wang Yiyi's mother did he know where Wang Yiyi's ability to reject people thousands of miles away came from.

Even so, he found it strange that Wang Yiyi was not like this ten years ago. She not only showed emotions of joy and anger, but also cried and laughed, dared to love and hate, all expressions were on her face.

As for what happened in the middle, Zhou Ze couldn't muster up the courage to face it.

But there are some things that don't mean that they don't exist if they don't mention it in a self-deceiving way.

Thinking of the past, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Ze touched the cup in Wang Yi's hand: "The movie is not bad, keep up the good work."

Wang Yi was taken aback, but clinked glasses with him mechanically. She put the glass to her mouth and drank it in one gulp. Her mouth was sour and astringent. She put the glass aside, unwilling to drink any more.

She understood that she was talking about the film festival some time ago, she was not nominated for this film again, and he was comforting her.

It's strange to say that ten years ago, she and Zhou Ze won the best actor and actress award at the film festival in one fell swoop.

It is the best honor for this film that the male and female protagonists of the same film won this award at the same time.

In the history of the film festival, it is not that there are no, but very few.

Those few couples are all on the same path, and they have been smooth sailing ever since.

Without exception, except Wang Yiyi.

Since then, the situation has gone from bad to worse, and many people have not even seen her works, and preconceived that she is the queen of bad movies.

It's amazing to say that each of the movies she has participated in these years has won some big or small awards, but she is the only one who is disappointed every time.

Although most of the awards in the major film festivals now require participation in the operation of capital and the influence of fans, the gold content of various awards is no less than before.

Although Wang Yiyi expressed that she didn't care, after all, she had already owned the thing that everyone was fighting for.

But the investor needs it, the advertising side needs it, the brokerage company needs it, and the audience needs it.
Since Wang Yiyi entered the door today, she and Zhou Ze acted as if they had never seen each other outside, eating together and discussing family matters like an ordinary couple.

Just like they used to do, they went home and kept silent about work.

Zhou Ze also admitted that today he was influenced by Yang Bowen and Lu Bin. Under the catalysis of alcohol, he was emboldened and wanted to try, "I always thought, if there is no such thing, you can stay in China and make that play If you leave after filming, will you?"

Wang Yi frowned, his hands were tightly intertwined, and he interrupted before he finished speaking, "I made the decision, and it has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Ze knew that if he continued speaking, the result would be another big fight, so he had to finish the sentence without hesitation: "Then what if I didn't say that sentence in front of the reporters at that time?"

Wang Yiyi didn't want to destroy the hard-won peace that he had managed to maintain these days. He stood up with a evasive expression but pretended to be calm: "If there is no if, let me say it again, I made the decision and it has nothing to do with you."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and walk inside.

Zhou Ze grabbed her wrist first, blocking her way back, his eyes were scarlet: "I ask you, how was it that I didn't say that in front of the reporter!"

As soon as Wang Yi stared at him, he couldn't smile enough, but his eyes were firm: "Do you want me to tell you?"

Zhou Ze was most annoyed by Wang Yiyi's concealed appearance, looking down at her: "Say it!"

Wang Yiyi chuckled vaguely, "It's nothing more than breaking up a few days later, or waiting for me to go abroad, long-distance relationship, separated by distance and time difference, and finally ended up breaking up."

However, Zhou Ze suddenly lost the battle like a deflated ball, concentrating all his strength on his hands, and asked incredulously, "You really think so?"

Wang Yi didn't answer the question, and his words were full of powerlessness: "So what if you are? So what if you are not? It's all over."

"What about after that?" Zhou Ze held on to the last glimmer of hope, despite Wang Yiyi's struggle, refusing to let go.

Wang Yiyi shook his head and stopped struggling. At the same time, he calmed down his hostility, "Zhou Ze, what I just said was serious. It has nothing to do with you to get to where I am today. I don't need you." You don’t have to feel guilty about it.”

Zhou Ze subconsciously denied, "No, I didn't want to influence your decision, and I respect your choice. I just want to make your journey smoother."

"But I don't necessarily need it," Wang Yiyi smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't know what people outside say about me, how can I play a good deck of cards like this, even the people around me can't figure it out, Obviously there is a shortcut in front of me, but I am not hesitant to seek far away. If I insist on saying that I don’t care, it must be a lie, but now I don’t have to worry about losing all day long, I am very magnanimous and down-to-earth.”

Zhou Ze actually wanted to ask, "What about me", but he held back because he wasn't sure what answer he would hear, or he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.

He thought that Wang Yi would cry and make trouble, so he would know what to do, and he was afraid that she would be too calm and rational like she is now.

Wang Yiyi noticed Zhou Ze sitting in the corner out of the corner of his eye today when he stepped off the stage to comfort the fans. At that glance, Wang Yiyi was sure that Zhou Ze knew that she had seen it, and it was true.

Although she was in a trance for a moment, she looked away before everyone noticed her distraction.

The words she said afterwards were what she wanted to say before she saw Zhou Ze. She admitted that she had hesitated, and when she turned back to the stage, she had made a decision.

She didn't say these words to Zhou Ze, but they were indeed what she really thought in her heart.

Wang Yiyi originally thought that if she didn't mention it, Zhou Ze wouldn't mention it again, just like every time before, pretending that nothing happened.

But tonight, Zhou Ze wanted to break the balance between them that they had never stated explicitly but both sides agreed to.

Zhou Ze silently let go of Wang Yiyi's hand. Whether it was seeing her red wrist or because of his recklessness today, he bowed his head first: "I'm sorry."
