Chapter 189 The Second Movie Night
Xu Yiru hadn't seen this movie, neither had Han Yi.

Two single dogs who have maintained a stable form for a long time will not easily abuse themselves with such stories.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't heard it.

One Day is an adaptation of David Nichols' best-selling romance novel of the same name.The heroine Emma Molly and the actor Dexter Mayhew, on July 1988, 7, the evening of the graduation ceremony of the University of Edinburgh, the two attracted to each other launched a platonic romantic encounter.Instead of becoming a loving couple, they each decided to take a step back and remain friends.

The following plot stretches for a full twenty years, taking July 7th every year as the fulcrum, and outlines the fate of Emma and Dexter who are sometimes intertwined and sometimes alienated.

To use more straightforward language, or to explain it with the values ​​​​of normal people, it is a pair of souls who are the most compatible in the world and should be together forever, but use the stupidest reason of friendship to make each other the best His years were wasted until heaven and man were separated forever.

He indulged in flowers, playing with life, until the other party passed away unexpectedly, only to realize that he had lost all the meaning of life.She waited silently and was bitterly infatuated, but she couldn't find the courage and time to express her inner feelings.It took them 18 years to step out of the church door hand in hand, but the truck that ruthlessly ran over her only gave them a countdown of two years.

A back-and-forth tango, an unspoken love, an exhausting entanglement—between two best friends who adore each other.

Sounds familiar, right?
Han Yi didn't know if Xiaoru had read the outline of this movie or the novel...

Probably not... After all, if you read it, you probably wouldn't choose to read it, right?
Han Yi turned his head, looked at Xu Yiru's slightly upturned nose, and thought to himself.

"Look at me for what?"

Within a few seconds, Xiao Ru noticed Han Yi's gaze.Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. She stretched out her hand and pressed it against Han Yi's side face to correct his direction.

"Watching a movie."

"Oh, you're leaving?"

"It's getting light outside, so I figured I should..."

"If you want to go, go."

"I thought you'd want to sleep... I don't have to go."

"It's okay, let's go, I don't mind. Slip away."

"I'm not going to slip away."

"I don't care if you jump off the building, anyway, this is the fifth floor."

"Look, look, I'm not leaving, I'm staying."

The first kiss scene came unexpectedly. At the beginning of the film, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess "rolled the sheets" as soon as they met.Of course, that's not actually accurate, because Jim Sturgess' Dexter thought about brushing his teeth, washing his teeth, and even picking up the vinyl record before seeing Anne Hathaway's Emma go to bed. I put on the stylus of the machine, played romantic music, panicked as if I was going to turn the dewy love into a partnership, and hurriedly wanted to put on my clothes and sneak out, but was caught by Emma who returned to the room after dressing up. It's right.

"Ann Hathaway is so beautiful, but he panicked just because she's trying to make an effort."

Xiao Ru crossed her arms and softly helped the heroine on the screen.It seemed that she felt that speaking in Chinese would be too harsh, so she paused for a moment and switched to English.

"It doesn't matter how handsome he is, I started to hate this Dexter within 5 minutes."

"I think so too." Han Yi nodded, and echoed quite seriously, "This is not Emma's problem, but Dexter's own problem... His own personality flaws prevent him from enjoying the best Beautiful stuff."

"What is the most beautiful thing?" Xu Yiru folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, tilted his head on the sofa to the right, and asked with great interest.

"The effort." Han Yi spread his hands and pointed at the screen, "Someone is trying to change something for you."

"I think I'll have a good time here."

"What does that taste like?"

"Onions...the taste of onions and disappointment."

"haha, okay."

"No, it's actually okay. Put some paint on it, throw a nuclear bomb, and everything will be solved."

The time in the movie has come to the second July 7, one year later, when Dexter, who has become Emma's friend, helps her move into an apartment in London.

"There's the typewriter, there's the book, and being in London...it's going to be all right, I'm going to do something here."

"You know what, you might still meet a nice man here."

Listening quietly to Emma's rhetoric, Dexter put his hands on the bedside table that was randomly placed in the living room and hadn't been put in place, and said with a smile.

"Dexter, come on."

Emma raised her black hair on her right temple, deliberately avoiding this topic.

"A good man, delicate in emotion, in a cardigan. A pair of spectacles, and knowledge to match."

"As I said, I'm not interested in this aspect." Emma picked up a book and waved it in the air casually as a tool for self-defense. "I'm so glad you're going to India soon."

"Fine, because I really have to go to catch a plane," Dexter said, looking at his watch.

"Already?" A counterattack put herself in a situation where she was about to lose the other party. Emma lowered her eyes, looked at the book in her hand, and could only utter one word.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Let's go." Emma sighed, "Go find yourself."

"Remember to write to me." Dexter put down the typewriter that he didn't know when he was clutching in his hand, "Long letter."

"I will."

"Have a nice time here, Emma."

"of course."

"I have a hunch that this day next year... you're going to hit London like a storm."

"This part...he's not bad."

Seeing Dexter's performance as a good friend on the screen, Han Yi was obviously relieved, and a smile reappeared from the corner of his mouth.

"Although we were not together, he still accompanied her. He was present at every important moment in his life, and he did his best to help Emma get through it smoothly."

"How can it be smooth, Emma has just arrived in London, and Dexter is going to India soon." Xiao Ru shook her head, not agreeing, "For Emma, ​​the real difficult time is when she Every day from now on in London ... I don't know how the story will unfold, but at least for now, every day after that, Dexter will not be around."

"Besides...why are you going to India to find yourself? I'm really blind." Xu Yiru gritted her teeth bitterly, anyone could see that the India she was talking about was not the India in the movie.

"Just look at the Beatles."

"But after they went to India, they wrote 'The White Album', 'Abbey Road' and 'Let It Be'."

Han Yi weakly raised his hand to his chest and lowered his voice.It seemed that he wanted to refute Xiaoru's statement, but he didn't want her to feel that he was too righteous.

"But "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is obviously the greatest one. And...John Lennon and Yoko Ono went to India and got married soon...After they got married, the Beatles Disbanded... so it's all India's fault!"

Xu Yiru sat up a little bit, hugged the blanket and talked more and more excitedly.As for Han Yi, the more he talked, the less he dared to move.

Where did Xiaoru talk about John Lennon and Yoko Ono!

"Isn't London a place where he can find value and realize his dream? London, the capital of the world, everyone comes here, but this idiot wants to fly there."

Well...this London is not that London.

"I'm a little excited, Xiaoru." Han Yi quickly leaned over and handed the hot soybean milk to Xu Yiru, "It's just a movie, don't be angry, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry, I just feel...Emma is so obvious..."

After taking a sip of soy milk, warmth spread throughout the body, and Xiaoru's volume was gradually turned down until it was inaudible.

She didn't want Yi Yi to hear the second half of "Emma is so obvious".

This damn guy will be super proud.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the following plot as a straightforward narrative, because David Nichols' screenplay is completely faithful to his novel, without any detailed revisions for the plot tension and narrative rhythm of the film, and It directly presents each year in order and in an almost equal manner.

In 1990, Emma, ​​who was working hard in London, did not achieve any literary achievements. She was trapped as a waiter in a Tex-Mex restaurant, and met comedian Ian Whitehead who also came here to work.Ian fell in love with Emma at first sight, but Emma's soul obviously still hangs on Dexter, who is traveling around the world.

After receiving a long-distance call from Emma from the red phone booth, Dexter comforted his friend softly.Emma reminds Dexter, who is teaching in Paris, not to seduce female students, because that not only violates morality, but also shows that he has no progress.Sadly, the telephone booth was disconnected because of running out of change, and Emma, ​​who could only murmur "I miss you" while listening to the busy tone, did not know that Dexter on the other end of the phone was standing on the bed with a provocative A capable female student.

Seeing this passage, Xiaoru didn't have any special reaction, but the hairs on Han Yi's arms stood up one by one.

What kind of movie is this!

Take the history of 26 years ago and tell his own story?
In 1991, Dexter, who became a trainee TV station producer, took another lover back to London to visit Emma, ​​encouraging her to leave the comfort zone that the Mexican restaurant had constructed for her, regain confidence and continue to pursue her literary dream.

"I just feel a little lost, that's all."

"Don't think so much, everyone is very confused when they are 25 years old."

"You are not confused."

Emma poured a glass of tequila for each of them and said.

"Training TV producer, rents a nice apartment with a CD player, hangs out on a regular basis every Tuesday and Friday..."

"Yeah, but I'm... crying inside."

Jim Sturgess' handsome face and his cynical smile always reminded Xu Yiru of the boy sitting beside him.She unconsciously glanced at Han Yi, who happened to meet his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Han Yi flipped the hair on the back of his head.

"How old are you this year?" Xiao Ru narrowed her eyes slightly and asked for no reason.

"Ah?" Han Yi was a little confused when asked, "Twenty...22, don't you remember how many years I was born?"

"Remember." Xu Yiru poked her chin thoughtfully, "People are still confused at 25, why are you sober at 22?"

Han Yi's performance in the past few months often made Xiao Ru forget his "real age".Every time he thinks about it, Xu Yiru will be amazed at the almost inhuman achievements of the man he admires.

Which 22-year-old college student owns a $4000 million out-of-print mansion?
Which 22-year-old college student can become the most important institutional shareholder of the world's third largest performing arts agency?
Which 22-year-old college student can start from scratch and build a well-structured music group in less than half a year, and has already had several singles break into the most prestigious music charts in the world?
From top to bottom, the difficulty of this series of milestones increases exponentially.

Perhaps Xu Yiru was ignorant, but whether it was by her side or in books, she had never met any peers who could achieve even one-tenth of the grades.

There is no doubt that Han Yi is the best person Xu Yiru has ever met.

With a high probability, it will be the top of the mountain that she can look up to as far as she can see in her life.

Not to mention, in the safe that Xu Yiru specially bought in The Vermont apartment, there was still a diamond necklace given to her by Mother Han lying quietly.

A Spetacular Diamond Necklace from Harry Winston.

165.54 million US dollars.

One hundred... sixty-five... fifty to forty thousand... dollars.

This is just a very small part of Han Yi's sea of ​​wealth leaked out by raising his hand casually.

And even if he tried his best, what could he bring to him?

Ever since she put Mother Han's meeting gift into the safe, Xu Yiru has never opened it again, even in the dead of night, alone, in the absolutely safe bedroom, she can't afford to try it on.

In her opinion, the necklace composed of 205 marquise and round brilliant-cut diamonds is like the bright galaxy that Los Angeles can only see at night when the weather is very good.

There is no one who will not be moved by its magnificence, but there are very few people who dare to really walk into it.

After all, there's more to the Milky Way than just shining stars.

Most of its components are a vacuum at minus 273.15 degrees.

The extremely cruel coldness made it impossible for any creature to survive.

Thinking of this, the chill Xu Yiru felt in her heart made her curl up subconsciously, completely covering herself under the thick blanket.

"Because I... am different from him, my age of confusion may be... much earlier than normal people."

I have been so confused that I have passed my whole life in a daze, and if I am given a second life, if I am not sober, then there is really no cure.

Of course, this kind of reason cannot be told to Xiao Ru, Han Yi can only say haha, and take the topic out of the way.

"When I was in college, before I spoke to you for the first time, I had a crush on you."

In 1992, Emma and Dexter embarked on a relaxing trip to Europe.They came to Dinard, a small seaside town on the coast of Cote-de-Merode in northern Brittany, France, enjoying a quiet life that no one knew and was not disturbed.

Before arriving in the town, Emma made a few rules for Dexter so as not to destroy their "friendship".Separate bedrooms, no flirting, no drunk hands and feet, and of course no drunk hands and feet with other girls.

But the code of conduct that Emma set herself was broken by herself in the small bar late at night.

"I know it sounds silly, but on graduation night, although we... almost did it, just almost. But I still... can't believe it. I'm so happy that I wrote a few poems about it."

Emma stared at Dexter with those bright Bambi-like eyes, and asked softly.

"What do you want to say about this?"

"I already knew." Dexter replied with a sip of red wine and a smirk.

"You already knew? What do you mean?"

"I almost... guessed it."

"Such a long letter, such an exquisite package...you go on, what happened next?"

"After getting to know you later, he cured me."

Emma's ridicule that suddenly reversed the atmosphere made both people outside the screen laugh out loud at the same time.

"So true."

Xu Yiru covered her mouth and giggled happily for a long time before finally stopping.

She patted Han Yi's arm, supported her head with her right hand, and turned her whole body ninety degrees, completely pointing in Han Yi's direction.

"do you know……"

With cheeks that were still flushed after laughing, Xiaoru said word by word.

"Emma and I... are the same in some places, but different in some places."

"Like?"

Han Yi also turned sideways, facing Xu Yiru.

"The difference is that we didn't wait until graduation to speak our first words."

"The same thing is... I like you."

Human beings are composed of objectively existing substances in the real world, but our perception of our surroundings is largely influenced by the emotional emotions in the spiritual world.

I believe everyone has had such an experience. Some words, like Caravaggio's brushes and Beethoven's keys, instantly give everything in front of you fresh and vigorous vitality.The sun is smiling, the birds are singing, the flowers are dancing, brightening up the world of several shades, completely open for you.

Others, like John Donne's verse, or just a mother's gentle reassurance on a lazy afternoon, put a blurring filter on everything that doesn't matter.The noise disappears, the other people disappear, and even the complicated emotions disappear together.Just her, and you.

Xiao Ru's confession served both functions at the same time.

An indescribably wonderful experience.

"The cessation of her speech, the apotheosis of her countenance,

Command my eager mind to be still...

I saw thousands of radiant shapes,
Swim up to us and hear each one say:

Behold the One who will increase our love.

When every elf comes to us,
With its own radiant light,
They all seemed filled with infinite joy. "

Dante's "Divine Comedy Paradise" may have been inspired after experiencing the same emotions.

"I like you too."

Not as tense and cramped as imagined, Han Yi's response flowed as clear and naturally as a brook.

"What are you going to say next?"

Han Yi cleared his throat, blinked at Xiaoru, and smiled.

"You also got to know me and healed yourself, didn't you?"

"Do not."

Xu Yiru shook her head gently but firmly.

Immediately, she turned her body again and threw herself into Han Yi's arms.

"I'm not cured."
