Chapter 150 Off-Season Roses
It took Chen Xi two days to bite the bullet and contact Wei Jia, falsely claiming that her schedule was too tight recently, so she had to ask Ada to send Lele back.She thought, what happened to Lele with Ms. Song, why not find another suitable time to explain it to Wei Jia!There was even a cowardly voice in her heart trying to persuade her—why rush to open the scars and face the pus and blood?Anyway, it's a knife, isn't it good to delay it for a day?

Wei Jia said: "Don't bother Ada to make a trip. It just so happens that I have an opportunity to go to Beijing for training the day after tomorrow, so I just bring Wei Le back along the way."

The tendon on Chen Xi's forehead was twitching, and he was talking in a mess: "No, no, Ada is not afraid of trouble... What training is so sudden, why didn't you say it earlier? I'm going to a distant place to shoot an exterior scene next week!"

"For regular industry training, our hospital temporarily gave me a place. The training is only for a week, and Wei Le can follow me for a few days." After Wei Jia finished speaking, he paused unexpectedly for a moment and then said, "It takes a few days for you to shoot the location ?”

"Who can say for sure about the filming? Could it be that I can't lie to you?" Chen Xi's tone became sharper with guilt.

"That's not what it means. I... thought I could meet you this time."

The familiar voice was next to his ears, it was Wei Jia's unique voice and tone, calm and restrained.In fact, he was saying - miss her!Somewhere in Chen Xi's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle. The pain was concrete and happened in her body, not a rhetorical technique.

"You train yours. The shooting schedule hasn't been decided yet, let's talk about it!" She hung up the phone abruptly.

On the day Wei Jia arrived in Beijing, Chen Xi went to Shenzhen.The shooting plan was originally scheduled for half a month later, but Ada temporarily negotiated with the other party to change the time.Ada is now Chen Xi's executive manager, and Chen Xi brought another assistant, Xiao Zhang, there.She let Wei Le live in Ada's house, and asked Aida to take care of her for a few days, so that Wei Jia could train with peace of mind.

According to the spy Ada's report, this trip to Shenzhen is unnecessary.Wei Jia's training location is in the suburbs of Beijing, quite a distance from their Da Chaoyang.He only came to see Wei Le on the afternoon of the first day he arrived, expressed his gratitude to Ada, made sure that there was no need to make another arrangement for Wei Le, and then went to report. He stayed at the training site for the next week and never showed up again.

Chen Xi's filming only took three days, and the rest of the time she stared at Xiaomeisha's beach in a daze.On the seventh day, she received a call from Wei Jia, saying that the training was over, and the leave given to him by the hospital could only be the day after tomorrow.

"I heard from Ada that you won't be able to finish filming for a while, so I'll take Wei Le back first. The timing is unlucky this time, and I'll celebrate your birthday with you next year." Chen Xi suddenly remembered that she was the one who forced her to do so during her foot injury. Wei Jia promised that this year's birthday should be celebrated with the two of them no matter what.She will officially turn 28 tomorrow, so he applied for an extra leave after the training.

"It doesn't count if you don't talk! You wait for me, and I'll go back tomorrow. You agreed to blow out the candles with me, and you will be miserable if you can't do it!" She said with a strange voice.

The next day when Chen Xi returned to Beijing, Jiang Tao called her when he got off the plane and asked her to discuss the film appointment in detail. Give a suggestion for every play.

Chen Xi didn't know that Boss Jiang was changing ways to ask him out, so he almost burned the words "I've fallen in love with you, and I want to please you" on his forehead.She often laughs at herself that she is not very popular with men. Not only can she not be on the same level as Ms. Song, she can't even compare with a beautiful company front desk.In fact, with her appearance and identity, how could she have no suitors, but she hates being treated as prey very much, and she doesn't have Ms. Song's wrist that can lift weights lightly.Once someone covets her, those with a weak aura will easily lose their sense of existence under her coercion, while those with a strong aura will be judged as "intruders". Her whole body exudes the signal that "the offender will be punished even if he is far away".

Jiang Tao's affection for Chen Xi has a kind of masterful demeanor of "he is strong, let him be strong, and the breeze blows the hills".He never expresses forcefully, but he also doesn't show timidity. These years are enough for Chen Xi to understand: as long as she wants, she can set foot in his territory at any time.This is actually quite similar to Wei Jia's laissez-faire with Chen Xi, so Chen Xi is not against it.The difference is that from the very beginning, Wei Jia's fortress was what Chen Xi tried to enter, while Jiang Tao opened the border, but she only accepted to coexist with it.

As usual, Chen Xi would refuse to do useless work.But she looked at the time. It was almost noon, and Wei Jia should have returned to the city from the training place.She gave him the door lock code of the residence, but suddenly she didn't want to meet him so early, especially in the bright sunlight.

With that rebellious mentality, she agreed to "see the scenery", but Jiang Tao's car was waiting at the airport.

After getting in the car, Chen Xi asked, "Do you know my itinerary?"

"The flight information of public figures is never a secret. If you don't come back, the best time to see the scenery will be missed. It's a pity." Jiang Tao drove the car himself, smiling at Chen Xi in the passenger seat.

"What if I reject you?" Chen Xi looked suspicious.Based on what she knew about herself, this possibility was very high.

Jiang Tao said: "Then I'll just make a trip for nothing, my time is not that precious."

"I'll take a trip in vain too. My time is precious, but it doesn't matter, I won't regret it!"

There was an immature male voice answering the conversation in the back row.Chen Xi looked back in astonishment, and there was a skinny boy sitting there, wearing a pair of Harry Potter-style glasses.

yo!Chen Xi thought she had a keen sense, and the car had driven for a while, but she didn't realize that there was a little guy behind her.

"This is my son, Jiang Haishu. He is your fan, do you remember?" Jiang Tao introduced.

"Hey! Kid, are you hiding behind to scare me?" Chen Xi turned her head and winked at the child.

The child said aggrievedly: "I didn't hide from you! I even waved to you when you got into the car. The color of my clothes today is rather dull, so you didn't notice me."

Hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at his violet cardigan again, the sense of presence is really weak!
"Xiaoshu, sister Chen Xi is joking with you, why don't you say hello to sister!"

Chen Xi didn't know how the kid named Jiang Haishu did it. He even bowed on the seat and blushed and said, "I'm Jiang Haishu. It's an honor to meet you!"

puff!He is also very honored!Chen Xi smiled for the first time today, and asked Jiang Tao, "Did your son just come back from an old castle in England?"

Jiang Tao said: "Where, he has been living with the old man, he came from his hometown in Anhui."

Chen Xi had a premonition that Jiang Tao knew what day it was, and was always on guard against the appearance of "scare".Fortunately, the plot of suddenly taking out the cake and singing birthday song did not happen.The location Jiang Tao mentioned was a field of roses.

Roses are not cold-resistant, and winter is not the season for flowering. This out-of-season flower field must have been carefully maintained.It's not easy, but that's all.

"I saw a scene in the script you gave that said that the hero and heroine are embracing and rolling in a sea of ​​flowers. You got a lot of roses and deliberately tied them into hedgehogs?" Chen Xi said.

Jiang Tao laughed loudly: "Don't worry, we don't mistreat actors. This is just my presumptuous thought. Today is your birthday. I hope to leave a different impression on you."

Chen Xi thanked him politely, but his eyes were quite disapproving.

Jiang Tao was not surprised: "I think, a girl like you has everything, what should I give you? Roses suit you very well. I thought so when I first saw you. But these years you It's a little different from the girl who danced that night. The rose shouldn't be in the vase, she should keep the thorns and have her own soil."

"So you want to give this piece of land to me?" Chen Xi raised her eyebrows.

Jiang Tao smiled even wider when he heard the words: "There is still noon, and the fragrance of roses is alive."

Chen Xi took a deep breath, and it was indeed the unique aroma of roses mixed with the greenness of the branches and leaves, plus the smell of the soil that had just been fertilized.

"how?"

"Very well, I also smell the affectation of rich old men."

"But you don't particularly hate this kind of affectation." Jiang Tao smiled like a fox, "I'm not particularly old either!"

"If I booked a morning flight..."

"Nature will send you the dew on the roses in the morning."

"So, if the plane is delayed until midnight, I can still receive the ghost of Midnight Rose?"

"Look, I know that this gift is not given to the wrong person!"

Chen Xi was finally amused, and Jiang Tao squinted comfortably in the warm winter sun.

"Xiaoshu heard that today is your birthday, and he wanted to give you a gift. He refused to tell me what the gift is...Xiaoshu, where is your gift?"

Chen Xi, who was walking on the ridge among the flowers, suddenly realized that he had forgotten the existence of Jiang Haishu.Turning around, the child was actually following behind her.It's a pity that Jiang Tao's son has the ability to hide himself, and he won't be an assassin or spy.

"I want to send you a poem!"

The child blushed, clasped his hands nervously in front of him, and recited aloud:
"For the natural beauties we demand prosperity,
so that the rose of beauty never withers,

But the blooming flowers must be carved in time,

Let the memory be given to tender heirs;

But you, only with your own bright eyes,
Feed yourself as fuel to the flames in your eyes,
Against yourself, it is too cruel to treat yourself,
Turn a piece of fertile land into barren fields.

You are now the fresh ornament of the earth,

And the only striker of Splendid Yangchun,
Why bury the source of wealth in tender pistils,
Gentle scumbag, if you want to be stingy, you will use it instead?
Pity the world, or, greedy man,
Just eat the world's share, you and the grave. "

……

After the poem recitation ended, the flower field was silent.It took Chen Xi a long time to react, and she applauded slowly.Jiang Tao touched the tip of his nose, coughed lightly and said, "This kid... write a happy song next time!"

"I didn't write this. I'm only good at ancient style poetry." Jiang Haishu sensed the inappropriateness of the poem from the cold atmosphere, and his voice became smaller and smaller. Grave, sorry!"

"The first sonnet of Shakespeare's translation by Liang Zongdai...your explanation is more embarrassing than its original meaning." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.

Heaven!Could it be that she has a bad relationship with poetry?When I was a child, I was forced to listen to it thoroughly, and when I was an adult, I met another strange thing.At first glance, this child named Jiang Haishu doesn't have a strong sense of existence, but his nerdy body has the sour sensibility of an artist, just like a child born secretly by her parents outside.

Jiang Haishu didn't expect Chen Xi to be an expert, and his eyes under the lens lit up. The feeling was no less than knowing that Lin Daiyu knew how to make iron sand palms, and Pan Jinlian learned how to be rich.Yet his bosom friend doesn't seem to be moved by the poetry.He observed Chen Xi's expression and said, "Should I not read this one? How about I change to another poem praising roses, Tagore, do you like it?"

"No. I just thought of someone who liked the poem too."

"Really, who is she?"

Chen Xi flashed the thin figure in the shaded courtyard before his eyes, and sighed softly.She is not a rose, the owner of that back is worthy of the name of a rose.Chen Xi misses the way she used to scatter barefoot and chant freely, but unfortunately there are no flowers that never die in the world.And Chen Xi is at most a fruit core. She comes from flowers, and she was born wrapped in abundant flesh. When the fruit rots and stinks, maybe she should also fall to the ground.
