Female tenant: 26-year-old heartbeat and life ups and downs

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Le Yao and the Question of the Future



The Ferris wheel behind him slowly stopped turning, and another group of people went up to experience it happily. After a long time, under Le Yao's gaze, Su Ran nodded and said, "Well, I did have something to do with coming to Hengdian to find you this time."

Le Yao had an expected expression and said, "You definitely won't come to me because you miss me, and you don't miss me at all."

"Don't say that, it makes me feel like a villain, and I only come to you when I have something to do." Su Ran responded helplessly.

Le Yao smiled and asked with a hint of teasing in her words: "Then have you missed me these days?"

"Again." Su Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, what did you come to me for?" Le Yao put away her smile and asked seriously.

Su Ran was silent for a while before asking, "Do you have any schedule recently?"

"The crew just started filming, and there are basically scenes every day." Le Yao answered truthfully.

"So busy?" Su Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Le Yao nodded and said, "Well, the recent scenes are very intensive, and there are two night scenes tonight. I have to go back to the crew later, and I can't stay with you for too long."

Su Ran's heart "snapped", knowing that there was a high possibility of returning empty-handed this time. He didn't want to force Le Yao, and after a moment of silence, he said to her: "Then you go back first. It's not a very important thing for me to come to you. If I don't have time, forget it."

Le Yao raised her hand to look at the watch and said to Su Ran: "I have to go."

"Go." Su Ran forced a smile and said.

Before leaving, Le Yao asked Su Ran again: "Where are you staying?"

"Xiao Li Inn."

"Oh, then I'm leaving, bye, Su Ran." Le Yao waved to him and trotted away.

The Ferris wheel was still turning, but Su Ran suddenly felt alone. He lay on the bench and didn't want to go back to the hotel.

Although he promised his leader that he would definitely get this done, he didn't want to force Le Yao. Since she really didn't have time, then let's just leave it to fate.

The reason why Su Ran gave up so easily was because he knew Le Yao's situation in the crew. She was just a newcomer, and she often had to act according to other people's moods. Moreover, it was really difficult to make time for her when the crew was in a hurry to finish the filming. He couldn't let the crew stop working to accommodate her, right?

In fact, Su Ran should be happy for Le Yao. The fact that she couldn't make time for her just showed that she had a heavy role in this play. Maybe she could really become famous with one play.

Back at the hotel, Su Ran took a hot bath, and after relieving some of his fatigue, he lay down on the bed. He couldn't help but worry about his and Fang Yuan's career prospects. He just hoped that Chen Jingming was making a fuss, and GI would not necessarily stick to this matter and terminate the cooperation.

Su Ran couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and time had already come to the early morning in his anxious and crazy thoughts. The world gradually said goodbye to the hustle and bustle and fell into silence.

He walked to the window, opened it, lit a cigarette, looked out at the gray outside the window, and emptied himself again, not wanting to think about anything.

Suddenly, a doorbell rang. At first, Su Ran thought it was from the next door, but after listening carefully, he realized it was from his own room.

He was a little confused. Logically, such a private house inn would not have any special services, so who was standing outside the door so late?

He looked through the cat's eye and found that it was Le Yao standing outside the door.

Su Ran opened the door, and Le Yao smiled at him and said, "How is it, very surprised?"

"Only surprised, not happy." Su Ran was indeed surprised by Le Yao, and he didn't expect her to come to him at this time.

Le Yao entered the house, put her cosmetics and toiletries in the bathroom, and said to Su Ran, "I came to see you just after I finished filming my play. I'll stay at your place tonight."

"Do you need it?" Su Ran asked at the door of the bathroom.

"Yes. But not tonight. You can't have sex for a month after an abortion. You should know this physiological common sense, Su Ran." Le Yao said to him while removing her makeup.

"How can you not change your nature of cheating people? You came here so rudely. Do you think how hard it will be for me tonight?" Su Ran was a little amused.

"Think of a way to solve it yourself." Le Yao said indifferently.

Su Ran didn't say anything else.

Su Ran was lying on the bed watching TV. After washing up, Le Yao got into the quilt in her pajamas, lay down beside him, and then leaned on his arms, hugged him and said, "Don't watch TV."

"It can't be done. Why not watch TV?" Su Ran still stared at the TV.

Le Yao found the remote control and turned off the TV. The room suddenly became quiet. She rarely spoke to Su Ran seriously: "Tell me, what is the reason for you to come to me this time?"

"It's not a big deal." Su Ran said and went to get the remote control again.

"I'm not stupid. If you just want to sleep with me for one night, is it worth it for you to rush from Suzhou to Hengdian?" Le Yao said, snatching the remote control from Su Ran again.

"I'm not here to sleep with you." Su Ran said helplessly.

"Then stop wasting time and tell me why you came to me." Le Yao asked relentlessly.

Under Le Yao's repeated questioning, Su Ran finally said: "Recently, GI is discussing the establishment of a counter with our department store. A female representative from GI saw the promotional posters you took for our mall and felt that your image is very consistent with GI's product positioning. I hope you can take a set of product promotional posters for GI to cooperate with the opening promotion." After that, he added: "If you don't want to arrange the opening schedule, forget it."

"Does your company attach great importance to cooperation with GI?" Le Yao asked.

"Our department store currently has 7 international first-line brands operating on-site, plus GI, it is exactly 8, reaching the standard of top-level department stores B, which is equivalent to rising to a higher level. We attach great importance to it." Su Ran replied.

"Look at you, if I don't ask, you won't say such a big thing." Le Yao's tone was somewhat complaining.

"You really don't have time, so it's useless for me to tell you. You should focus on your work. Don't force yourself." Su Ran said sincerely.

After a moment of silence, Le Yao asked Su Ran: "How many days will it take to finish the filming?"

"It should be done in two days, or maybe one day. I'm not sure how GI plans to shoot it." Su Ran replied.

Le Yao nodded and said: "That's good. In fact, I have already told the director before coming here that I may need to take a leave. He said he can arrange two days of vacation for me. You can communicate with GI to see when to shoot."

Su Ran suddenly felt relieved and reminded Le Yao: "Don't force yourself."

"It's okay to force yourself for your sake." Le Yao said softly.

The night was deep and there was only a dim night light left in the room. Le Yao was still curled up in Su Ran's arms, and they didn't seem sleepy.

"Su Ran, do you think we will be together?" Le Yao suddenly asked.

Su Ran didn't know why Le Yao asked this suddenly. After a long pause, he answered, "We are not from the same world. Your future is bright. I have been living a life of mediocrity. The reason why we sleep together now is more out of emptiness and physiological needs."

"Maybe. Since I took this path, I have never expected love again." Le Yao said a little lonely.

Hearing the word "love" suddenly, Su Ran felt so empty and strange that he forgot that he was still talking to Le Yao.

They fell into silence, but they felt the helplessness of living. Although they slept together at the moment, they would not really live together, because they were not on the same path, and one day they would not see each other when they went their separate ways.

"Le Yao, let's not get along like this anymore, otherwise, it will become a burden for us in the future." After a long time, Su Ran finally said.

Le Yao hugged him again, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she said calmly: "Well, after this night, let's be friends."

That night, Su Ran and Le Yao slept in the same bed. She kept hugging him and slept very peacefully. Su Ran knew that what she needed was not a partner or a boyfriend, but just a support to keep herself from sinking into this heavy reality.

What about herself? Su Ran couldn't help asking himself. Maybe he needed a woman who could accompany him to live a decent life, and he was eager to give his heart to her for comfort, but where was she?

Su Ran remembered that he had searched on the other side, but she was not there; he had searched in the dimly lit place, but she was not there either. He didn't know where his future would go emotionally, and at work, although Le Yao agreed to shoot the poster, he couldn't be sure whether there would be other changes in the future. He looked at the ceiling in the dark, his heart full of confusion and anxiety about the future. He could only put these troubles aside for the time being in this long dark night and get through the present stage first.
