Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 242 Are you going too?

   My heart hurts, my heart hurts.

  During the meal, Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Xizhu from time to time, hesitated to speak a few times, as if she didn't know what to say.

She couldn't remember the dream from last night, and even the pity when she just woke up was washed away with the turned on faucet. Xizhu put down the milk, looked up at Zhong Xiaoqin impatiently, and said in a bad mood: "Do I have flowers on my face? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled mischievously, with two slightly swollen eye bags, rubbed the glass and said, "Xiao Xizhu~, I still want to go to Gu Jia's about the child, and listen to her opinion in person, and I will go with me this afternoon." Let’s go to Grand Hyatt~”

"Chen Yu came back today, haven't you made up your mind yet?" Ever since he met Zhong Xiaoqin, Xizhu felt that his blood pressure was full all day long, but when he looked at her, his eyes were less confused than yesterday's, and there was a little more In anticipation of seeking approval, most of Xizhu's rising anger immediately vented, he turned his head, and pretended to be cold and said, "It's up to you."

In the afternoon, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia made an appointment, and took Xizhu to the Grand Hyatt Mansion. Fortunately, the elevator that broke down yesterday has been repaired and has resumed operation. As soon as I waited for the elevator, I saw a call from the front desk. After a quick trot, a lady in a small suit with a Misia badge walked quickly towards the elevator with her hands full of bags.

   Seeing that she was going to be late, Wang Manni slowed down subconsciously, but when she saw the half-closed elevator door open again, she quickly gave a thankful look, and entered the elevator with large and small bags.

   "Thank you so much."

  Misia's shop is just downstairs of the property company, and it is integrated with the Grand Hyatt Mansion. Wang Manni also recognized the badge on Zhong Xiaoqin's chest, and quickly thanked her again.

   "You're welcome~" Zhong Xiaoqin smiled at Wang Manni, seeing that it was difficult for her to press the elevator with large and small bags.

Even though Wang Manni is not short, she is even a lot taller than her, but if she doesn't even know how to put the packing bag on the ground to press the elevator, she stands there like a weakling, standing on tiptoe, insisting on hugging her. Even if the packaging bag is twisted into a strange shape, she must use her elbow to press the button. At that time, she is not the only one who is embarrassed.

  Zhong Xiaoqin asked, "Which floor are you going to?"

"Excuse me, I'll go to the seventeenth floor." Naturally, Wang Manni will not be like a dramatist, adding drama to herself, making up for others to mock her as "short, poor and ugly, like a hamster, even an elevator is enough." don't catch'.

The elevator ascended slowly, and Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin chatted briefly, and suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze from the side, and looked down, but it was the little girl next to Zhong Xiaoqin, looking at her with her arms around her shoulders like a little adult Looking at the various packaging bags on her body, "Seventeenth floor? Where is Zhou Ji?"

  The little girl's cold eyes made people unable to see emotions. Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise, "You also know Mr. Zhou?"

  Zhong Xiaoqin just gave him a check-in gift a few days ago, and saw him once again in the mall, so she smiled and said, "He is the owner of our side, and I met him twice before."

Wang Manni nodded suddenly, but the little girl's attitude was a little strange. She reached out and took out two tickets that were about to slip from under one of the ribbons, looked up at herself, and snorted coldly, "It's his too?"

"Thank you, little sister~" Wang Manni thought the invitation was about to be dropped, so she didn't think too much about it. She squatted down, reached out to pick up the invitation and the boat ticket, and said with a smile, "Yes? Mr. Zhou is the luck of our shop." Customers, these are the prizes."

After waiting for a few seconds, Wang Manni couldn't help being a little surprised when she still didn't see the little girl return the ticket to her. Zhong Xiaoqin next to her smiled awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xizhu~ Hurry up and return Mr. Zhou's things to Manni." elder sister."

Ding~ The elevator on the 12th floor opened, Xizhu looked at the blue sky, blue sea and room interior printed on the ticket, narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the urging of Zhong Xiaoqin, sandwiched the two tightly attached tickets into the red festive invitation , pretending not to care, and returned it to Wang Manni.

   Walking out of the elevator, Xizhu suddenly turned around, "Are you going too?"

   "Huh?" Wang Manni was taken aback for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "How do you know?"

  Her order for the sky-high price necklace a few days ago has already been ordered, and she also received a cruise ticket for a luxury European cruise from the shop manager when she was at work this morning. Although it was only an economy class, it still made her happy all morning.

The elevator door closed slowly. Seeing Wang Manni's uncontrollable smile, Xizhu's face suddenly darkened. He looked back at the rising elevator sign. Xizhu gritted his teeth slightly, and gave Zhou Ji another memory in his heart. Pen.

"Little Xizhu, what's the matter with you?" Sensing the low air pressure spreading from the side, Zhong Xiaoqin asked weakly, "The cruise ship is a bit too expensive, why don't you wait until this weekend, Chen Yu and I will take you to the park How about rowing?"

  Xizhu laughed back out of anger, raised her eyes and gave Zhong Xiaoqin a white look, then sped up a few steps, and put some distance away from her.

"Don't be angry? The boats in the park are all fun, there are little yellow ducks, big swans, and giant pandas." Zhong Xiaoqin caught up with Xizhu's short legs in two steps, and stretched out her hand to hold Xizhu's little hand. But she broke away with a look of disgust.

"Xiaoqin, are you here? Come in~" Gu Jia opened the door, and Xizhu squeezed in from the side. Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head, stepped on her feet and looked at Xizhu's back, and smiled at Gu Jia: "Gu Jia, Do you have any plans for this weekend?"

Gu Jia glanced back. She and Xizhu had only met once, and she was deeply impressed by this arrogant and cold girl. Looking at it now, although her temperament and expression were the same as when she came last time, they were invisible. A slightly depressed and dull aura, to put it simply, seems to be sulking.

   "No?" Gu Jia looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, saw her winking, and immediately understood, and followed her words.

  Zhong Xiaoqin's voice increased a little, and she said with a smile: "Why don't you take Lao Xu, Ziyan; and we, Chen Yu and Xizhu, to go boating in the park? The spring is bright and the weather is just right, it's a good time for an outing~"

   Gu Jia laughed and said, "Okay~ I'll tell my husband when he comes back. He's been busy designing fireworks these days and has been stuck in the house. He should go out and get some air."

  Xizhu gave the two of them a blank look, but ignored them.

   Seventeen floors.

Zhou Ji looked at the tall buildings outside the window, his heart skipped a beat, and he shivered for no reason. Packing bag, sent over the shoulder bag he bought yesterday.

  Zhou Ji thanked him, but didn't say anything to persuade the other party to stay.

   After all, unlike the last time Zhong Xiaoqin and her male colleague came over to give check-in gifts together, this time there is only one woman, and she is still a female salesperson.

  Even though Zhou Ji didn't have any other thoughts about this woman, the fluctuating flashes in her eyes and the somewhat unnatural reserve still made him feel a little tentative.

   This is the attraction of seeing a quality opposite **** involuntarily revealed.

  Obviously I am attracted by the other party, but I still want to show my unique self and attract the other party's attention.

  There is nothing wrong with men looking for Bai Fumei and women looking for Gao Fushuai.

  But Zhou Ji didn't like such a temptation.

  Wang Manni, who has been in sales for several years, naturally felt Zhou Ji's undisguised alienation, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful in her heart.

  Facing this kind of handsome guy who lives in the high-rise of Grand Hyatt and spends nearly 10 million to buy bags for his girlfriend, it would be a lie to say that he is not impressed.

  With this regret, Wang Manni took out the economy class ticket from her inner pocket, with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

  The rent has increased from 7,000 to 9,000, and the balance of the bank card is only 4,000. In fact, two days ago, she specifically checked the specific situation of this luxury cruise.

  Accommodation on a cruise ship is generally a cabin on board, but her Mediterranean Splendor cruise ship is divided into three types of cabins: interior cabins, balcony rooms, and suites.

  The inner cabin is actually an ordinary cabin, with a small space, cramped, no windows, and the most rudimentary conditions.

  The two deluxe cabin tickets that Zhou Ji got were actually balcony rooms. Originally, Wang Manni had no concept of ordinary cabins, so she had no special ideas.

  But seeing the deluxe class ticket that Zhou Ji got, Wang Manni subconsciously asked about the upgrade on the Internet.

   Seeing the experience and various reference opinions shared by "ordinary" netizens, Wang Manni was quite moved.

   It costs 15,000 to upgrade.

   Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out.

Back home, Wang Manni looked at all kinds of clothes in the closet, picked them out for a long time, and finally shook her head, thinking that since she was going to live in a luxury cabin, wearing these old clothes would be a bit too cheap, so she should hurry to leave Before, buy a few more clothes and shoes, so that you can enjoy this luxurious trip well.

The setting sun outside the window shone orange-red on the corner of the balcony. Wang Manni, who had made up her mind, put on a silk shawl and held a hand-ground coffee. It is full of longing.

  At the same time, Zhou Ji wandered the streets of old Shanghai and stopped in front of a coffee shop.

The coffee shop has a small facade, and every time he passes by the door, he will smell a strong coffee aroma wafting from the shop. Jiang Chen knows this handsome young man with a unique temperament, and he often sees him these days Strolling here is like strolling in a garden, more like a person with a story.

  Noticing the sight coming from the shop, Zhou Ji nodded and smiled at the young man who looked like the shop owner, Jiang Chen froze for a moment, and quickly returned a smile.

  Looking at the orange-red sunset in the distance, Zhou Ji shook his head, walked into the store, found a seat by the window and sat down.

   "You know me?" Zhou Ji looked at the store manager walking towards him and smiled.

   "I can often see you walking on this street in the past two days, so I am very impressed." Jiang Chen smiled. "Are you looking for someone?"

   "It's really not easy to find someone who deliberately avoids me in such a huge crowd." Zhou Ji sighed.

  Both Zhou Ji and Si Teng knew that if they covered the entire Shanghai with spiritual knowledge, or drew Si Teng's face from memory, and bombarded by all media 24 hours a day, they would be able to find her soon.

  But this kind of finding is not what Si Teng wants.

   To put it bluntly, she just wanted Zhou Ji to go through all kinds of hardships and find herself alone in the vast crowd.

   If you can’t find it for a day, then stay in this world for a day.

  If you can’t find it for a year, then stay in this world with her for a year.

  Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, if the longevity is exhausted, Zhou Ji still has not found Si Teng.

  Siteng will take the initiative to appear at the moment when he dies of old age, and plant it in his heart again. In a certain corner of this world, a forest of vines will grow, bury him in it, and depend on each other forever.

  This is exactly what Sito wanted.

  With her arrogant personality, this is her independent self and her desire to control Zhou Ji.

   It looks deformed, but actually gave Zhou Ji the right to choose.

Because she knew that at the moment Zhou Ji awakened her with the fruit of the divine tree, Zhou Ji no longer needed her to maintain the operation of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead. to ridiculous games.

  When the time comes, Zhou Ji will still be able to travel through the heavens and worlds, and Si Teng will also be able to gain real freedom.

  Fulfill yourself with the thought of "bloom if you want to bloom, don't bloom if you don't want to bloom, love whoever you want to love, and leave if you don't love me".

With a faint sigh, Zhou Ji suppressed the troubled thoughts in his heart, and had a brief chat with Jiang Chen. Maybe everyone who runs a coffee shop has a young heart, and Jiang Chen chattered about him to Zhou Ji. past.

  When he was poor, he always wanted to give his girlfriend the best, but his girlfriend was more practical than he thought.

  She always felt that Jiang Chen didn't want to make progress, that the job in the coffee shop had no future, and couldn't give her the life she wanted at all. Between love and material desires, she chose material desires, and finally chose to break up with Jiang Chen.

  Of course, these are Zhou Ji's own conclusions, but Jiang Chen's original words are full of maintenance and reminiscence.

  Memories are always full of filters, the more resentful the more resentful, the more beautiful the beautiful.

  Shaking his head and sighing softly, Zhou Ji looked around the entire store. To open a coffee shop in a place like Shanghai where every inch of land is expensive, the rent, equipment and decoration costs would cost at least millions in such a location.

  Now Jiang Chen has realized his wish back then, but he has never seen his former girlfriend again.

  Zhou Ji listened to Jiang Chen's narration, but noticed the barista at the front desk who was looking this way, her eyes were full of concern, and there was also a hint of loss.

  Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Chen has no regrets about the past.

  Only Jiang Chen couldn't see it. In fact, there was another person beside him silently watching him.

  Zhou Ji finally understood why Jiang Chen would recognize himself in the crowd who came here for a walk every day, because he, like himself, wanted to find someone in the bustling streets.

   It's just that what Jiang Chen is looking for is an ex-girlfriend who has been beautified by memories.

   What Zhou Ji is looking for is a big heroine who is throwing a fit at him and needs to be hugged and coaxed.

  The coffee was completely cool, Zhou Ji took a sip of the slightly sour, slightly bitter coffee with a hint of sweet aftertaste, stood up and said with a smile, "The coffee is good, I will come again when I have time."

   "I hope you can order an extra glass next time."
