"You're back in Los Angeles? Did you bring me any snack gifts?"
"I'm back. Yes, I brought you some candied fruits."
"Thank you! When are you free for me? My stomach is growling."
"For publicity reasons, how much do you weigh now?"
"Candied fruit, candied fruit, candied fruit"
"Only by answering questions."
"If I were on the moon, I wouldn't weigh anything. I could even fly."
"That's why I bought you some mooncakes!"
"100 pounds."
¡°That¡¯s 110 pounds, okay, I can give it to you.¡±
"105 pounds! I just have a bigger frame."
"Cartman, you're just a fat-ass."
¡°I just have heavier bones.¡±
"You must have taken too many calcium tablets and sugar."
After a text message, Ye Wei and Liz agreed to meet at Hamby Park. He had promised her to buy her some Chinese specialties before, but he didn't expect that the first friend he met when he returned to Los Angeles would be this foodie.
Hamby Park is located in the Hamby Villa between the two people¡¯s homes. It is not very secluded. It has been frequented by celebrities and paparazzi for a long time. But it is such a big park and it is evening. It is okay to meet without being followed and without being ostentatious. Both of them agreed that they should never lose their freedom because of the paparazzi.
When Ye Wei arrived at the meeting place in the park with her gifts, she saw Liz already sitting on a park bench under the big tree waiting.
She is wearing a thin goose-yellow coat, a white T-shirt and pink denim trousers. She is not fat but not thin. She has long flowing blond hair and is elegant and cute.
"Hey." When Liz saw him coming, she stood up with a smile and waved.
"Here you go." Ye Wei handed a heavy bag of food to her hand and turned to leave.
"Seriously? This isn't black money, is it?" Liz stopped Ye Wei and looked him up and down with her gray eyes, "You look very good." He sat on the bench, "I guess so, now I'm pretty good." Liz praised: "You've done a lot of great things, and I've paid attention to them."
Ye Wei leaned on the bench and looked up at the night sky, "When you are in that kind of environment and face that kind of situation, you can do it too, it's no big deal."
"Then I'm not sure." Liz also sat down on the bench and took out a package of Royal Food Garden preserved fruits from the gift bag. She looked at the package and said, "I won't go to the North Pole, I'm afraid of the cold."
"Norwegians who are afraid of the cold are interesting." Ye Wei chatted casually.
"The most interesting thing is that I plan to study drama in Moscow, Russia." Liz tore open the bag of preserved fruits in her hand, took out an orange fruit and ate it, and immediately said with an intoxicating expression: "Sweet, soft, refreshing, and sweet This is the most delicious candy I have ever tasted." She handed the preserved fruit to Ye Wei and asked him if he wanted it.
Ye Wei shook his head and looked at the park visitors in the distance without saying anything.
Liz noticed his depression, and suddenly thought deeply, and asked after a while: "Isn't it still possible? Your courtship?"
"Ha." Ye Wei laughed, "Not yet, but I feel it!" He looked at her seriously, "I'm very close, she doesn't hate me so much, I have a chance."
Liz ate another piece of candied fruit, nodding silently as she tasted it. It has been three months since she knew that a boy as outstanding as Ye Wei, a beauty magnet, and proud, was so proud that a girl could do this. It would be difficult to find another one. She couldn't find him.
But repeated rejections will also consume his love and this love again and again.
Nothing will be consumed unless it is constantly replenished, so love needs to be managed.
She doesn¡¯t know other people¡¯s love stories, but she really doesn¡¯t understand Lily. ¡°You can take it away if you want it,¡± is that really okay? Well, don't be impulsive, otherwise it will be embarrassing. In this case, it is not good to say anything, and it is best to say nothing at all.
"Tell me about your journey?" Liz continued to eat, preferably candied fruit.
Ye Wei thought about something, "I want to move to Norway for a while, and I will. There will definitely be such a period of time in my life." He sighed: "Norway is so beautiful, it feels like a fairy tale world. You see Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?¡± After hearing from Liz, he said: ¡°It¡¯s so dreamy to stand under the Northern Lights, and it makes your mind feel relaxed.¡±
"In other words, it's boring." Liz smiled, "Norwegian people's safe distance from strangers is a bit too far. Everyone looks like a serious scientific researcher, which I don't like."
"That's why I want to live for a while, but not settle down." Ye Wei shrugged, "I camped on the outskirts of Troms?, which is much better than in Los Angeles. I?While meditating towards the iceberg, it seemed that for the first time in my life I had entered a state of forgetfulness about myself and things. It means there is no sense of body, transcending matter and spirit, and returning to the origin of nature. "
"Have you really become a Buddhist?" Liz opened her mouth in shock, "Will you become a monk someday?"
"Me? viy going to be a monk?" Ye Wei looked at Liz, she suddenly laughed, and he laughed too: "No, I don't like to live in seclusion, especially now, Africa has given me a great shock." She quickly said: "You haven't mentioned polar bears yet, that's cool." He snorted and said, "That's it. I searched for two days and finally met them, so I went to take pictures of them. In fact, they are not dangerous. , it was a Jeep and I kept my foot on the accelerator."
"That's bold enough." Liz gave a thumbs up with her right hand and asked again: "Did you feel like "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in Africa?"
"Yes." Ye Wei nodded when he heard the words. Liz joked: "Harry or Helen?" Ye Wei frowned at her and said seriously: "I don't want to joke about this topic. Africa is very serious." Liz flat-mouthed in a cute way: "Sorry, I was kidding you. , not African.¡±
"Harry, when I flew over the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, I thought of him." Ye Wei looked at the increasingly darkening sky and said to her: "Liz, when will you go to Africa? It will definitely be for you." I don¡¯t know what it is, I can¡¯t explain it, because it¡¯s the mysterious power of Africa that works for everyone.¡±
He thought of something and couldn't help but sigh: "That day I went to see the crossing of the Mara River and saw many animals dying. I cried."
"Are you crying?" Liz looked at his sensual eyes, her eyes were slightly red and she seemed about to cry, but she felt his masculinity, which was really strange.
"I want to stop all that, but I can't even save a wildebeest." Ye Wei paused and said in a low voice, "I was completely defeated, not a single bit left."
¡¡
As night falls over Los Angeles, the Ye family in Brundwood is peaceful. After the warm dinner, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo watched TV series in the living room, laughing from time to time.
In the boys¡¯ bedroom on the second floor, Ye Wei sat cross-legged on the floor and meditated. In the evening, he and Liz chatted about the journey and then left. He went to Lev¡¯s house to give gifts, chatted for a while and then went home.
Work will resume tomorrow, and the preparatory work for "Winter's Bone" will begin. Things are quite tenseHas she read the DVD? What does she think?
Lev's words lingered in his mind: "I have to remind you, Lily seems to have a boyfriend. I heard a little bit about it. I also saw her getting very close to a boy at school a few days ago. You have to hurry up if you want to chase her."
"Hahaha, I was always the spare tire." He laughed loudly, not wanting his old friend to see that he was upset.
"Brother, don't expect me to comfort you, you have had so many girlfriends." Lev said.
Ye Wei shook his head violently to disperse his messy thoughts. I also need to participate in the sprint promotion of "Soul Surfer". It will be more than a month before it is released on October 13. "Carrie" also needs a little participation She should understand what I mean The establishment of the foundation also needs to be dealt with. Somethingdoes she like it? Polar bear sniffing lilies?
He had called Trieste before to ask, how is Lily doing recently? Trieste said: "I don't know either, I really don't know."
"If you don't like it, you don't like it If you want to consider others, then you should respect other people's wishes first. Stop all of this, all of this"
This journey brought him a lot of new feelings when telling the story of "Winter's Bone". The simplicity, the loneliness, the coldness of the Arctic, the barrenness and danger of Africa. He can't wait to take the photo Does she like that picture of the elephant? Smell the lilies? What about the giraffe?
"Don't get me wrong."
Ye Wei suddenly stood up, walked to the computer desk, sat down, and opened the lovelilyjane website. At the end of the short film, subtitles will show this website. Although IDE software and ready-made codes are used, this website was all made by him. It displays pictures of lilies in the past two months, with the upload date and message.
He didn¡¯t want to check the website¡¯s access log. He slowly slid the mouse wheel and looked at the long web page. He felt self-deprecating and felt a sense of accomplishment. It was quite romantic, wasn¡¯t it?
It¡¯s not just that. He clicked on the short film file named all-the-world-is-lily on the desktop and started watching it.
With the brisk guitar music, the 3:56 short film began. The music was the theme song of "Spirited Away" always-with-me that he played on the guitar. Of course, no royalties were paid, haha. What he most wanted was to play the ocarina + piano, which would be more ethereal, but unfortunately he couldn¡¯t do either.
Amid the music, a paper airplane flew leisurelyFlying in the sky over the mountain tops of Svalbard.
"It is said that there is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and the whole world is looking for her and fighting for her." The gentle boy's voiceover sounded. In the distance of the long shot, there were three polar bears, big and small, walking on the ice field; Africa in the long shot. A herd of wildebeest galloped across the savannah, "They were looking."
"And there are them." A group of elephants passed by wagging their trunks; a few hares were eating grass, their ears twitching; "And there are them." Countless colorful koi carp were swimming in the pond in Yuexiu Park, "And there are "They!" A small group of porcupines were drinking water by the grassland river; "Even them." A group of lions walked slowly; "They are indispensable." In the three shots of Arctic, Africa and China, a group of birds flew across the blue sky. .
¡°Why are they looking for her?¡± the voice-over asked. A giraffe eating leaves in the video suddenly turns its head to look.
The rhythm of the guitar is faster, a quick montage, and paper lilies are blooming everywhere on Arctic islands and prairie.
"This isthis is" the voice-over exclaimed. The image shows a series of close-up shots of fresh lilies, white, pink, purple, and orange, swaying gently in the breeze. When all the lilies of various colors are in one shot, they fade away, but then appear again. The polar day sky on the island, the dreamy night sky with the Northern Lights, the sunrise and sunset on the grassland and the brilliant night sky.
A video shot in 2004 appeared. On the beach in Santa Monica, a thick-browed girl with long hair in white had a smile on her face. She pouted and kissed the camera, turned her eyes and smiled.
"I know, that kind of flower is called Lily." The polar bear slapped the car window fiercely, the wildebeest herd rushed towards me, the elephant raised its long trunk, a hippopotamus in the river opened its mouth wide, and a lion roared with its mouth open. The carps were fighting for food like crazy, and the birds were flying down.
"Oh, I understand." The voice-over sighed, "Because getting her means getting the whole world, and more than that. Lily is Lily, and the whole world"
In front of the small U-shaped skatepark, three children were holding paper lilies, holding them in their hands, dancing lightly, and shouting with bright smiles: "The whole world is filled with lilies!"
Amidst the light and joyful sound of Britney's i-ll-never-stop-loving played with guitar and whistle, in the prairie scenery image taken while driving, lines of text appeared on the screen: "All lives in the world." They lived together happily and peacefully since then, because Lily was so generous, she showed her beauty to the world. For more information, please log in to view it, it is all a website built by someone."
There is no end credits, but there is an Easter egg at the end of the short film. A giraffe looks at it and sticks out its tongue as if making a face.
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei giggled when he saw it, not bad, really good! There's yours. Are there any girls who don't like it? Never seen it!
He looked at the website for a while before closing it. It's past 9 o'clock in the evening. Has she watched it?
I got up and touched around the room, played the guitar, bounced the football, hit the sandbags, made a beeping sound to the 1:1 -d2 in the corner to imitate it, lay on the bed, pressed the phone, got up I don¡¯t know what happened. After a while, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly made a celestial-like ding.
Ye Wei quickly went to get it and took a look, Lily¡¯s text message! He grinned, held his breath, and opened the text message:
"I've seen it, thank you. Can you close that website? It will be troublesome if the media finds out."
The smile disappeared, he pursed his lips, stroked his forehead, and took a long breath. He pressed his fingers and replied: "ok." He blinked, not knowing where to focus his eyes. He walked back to the computer desk and sat down. He deleted all the website's data, source code, etc., and then deleted the domain name resolution.
Looking at the blank web background on the screen, he suddenly grabbed the "dum fans-101:html" on the table and threw it out. The textbook hit the wall with a dull thud.
"Ah! Deleted them all, okay!" Ye Weiyi yelled, breathing heavily, and gradually fell silent.
I¡¯m just a little unhappy, because I really did it all by myself, it¡¯s human nature
I don¡¯t like the website, what about the short film?
The short film should be okay, right?
Ye Wei picked up his cell phone and called Lily. The beeps were beeping one after another. After six or seven beeps, he was finally connected. He wanted to chuckle, but his voice was very low: "Hi."
"Hi" Lily's soft voice came from the mobile phone.
The call was silent for a long time, and it was already an embarrassing silence. He didn¡¯t know what to say. He had too much to say, but he didn¡¯t know what to say: ¡°Do you still like that short film?¡±
Lily paused as she spoke: "Thank you, it's quite interesting. But, Wei, it also makes me uncomfortable" The first half of her sentenceYou can¡¯t say it sincerely, but the ¡°unfortable¡± at the end is the truth. It makes you want to vomit. Ye Wei felt pain and numbness in his heart, and said: "Oh, it's okay. I have shut down the website, don't worry."
"Don't you think we are weird? All of this." She asked in an increasingly cold voice, "What is this? This is weird! Have I become a target for you?"
"I'm sorry." Ye Wei didn't know if he was blushing, but he was suddenly overwhelmed by embarrassment. He was embarrassed, embarrassed, and at a loss. Only her scolding would make him like this.
Actually it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t understand, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t want to admit it.
Lily¡¯s feelings and thoughts about him are probably similar to his feelings and thoughts about Amber Heard. He told Amber that it was over three months ago, but Amber has never accepted the end unilaterally. She still sends him text messages every few days, saying, "I will always be your secret lover." She was pulled off the blacklist and released again. She was pitiful.
It's not that he hates her, Amber has her advantages, but he doesn't want to fall in love seriously with her, get married, or anything like that because he can't love Amber, he just can't, he doesn't love her type, Just like Harry to Helen, just like Lily to him
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t understand that love can be personal, love can be mutual, and love is the light that two people share and reflect each other.
He loves her, but she doesn¡¯t love him, not anymore. It's just that I don't want to admit it. Once I admit it, it's over.
In an instant, scenes of the past three months emerged before Ye Wei's eyes, and Ye Wei once again saw his own selfishness and many awkwardnesses.
Although he loved her deeply, he unconsciously seemed to tie his own salvation to the recovery of Lily. Unknowingly, this broken love became even less pure. With self-redemption, fanaticism, compensation for regretsall kinds of impurities that seem to be there or not, like she said: Is this a goal?
Is this it? Ye Wei asked himself, he didn't know. Can the pursuit of love be a goal? have no idea.
Now, he has completed his own redemption. Really, this feeling is thorough and clear. In Africa and China, in this short emotional journey, he has redeemed himself. "How is Ye Wei?" He didn't need to ask anyone, he could answer himself: "He's not a bad person anyway."
Maybe because of this, he sees things more clearly and calmly. It shouldn¡¯t be like this. He loves Lily, but it shouldn¡¯t be like this anymore.
What should it be like? have no idea. Anyway, don't hurt her anymore
"Lily, I don't know if you are the target, it must be more than just you. I'm very sorry." Ye Wei tried his best to keep his tone calm and gentle, like a peaceful ending: "I understand. In fact, I have always understood, you know, I This person can be stupid sometimes. In the past three months, I have been very selfish. You don't like it. You are not single. I have pestered you crazily and made you troubled again and again. I am very selfish. "
"Butyou are a fool" Lily scolded.
"Yes, I am a fool." Ye Wei took a deep breath, scratched his hair, and said with difficulty: "But I have been able to see all this more comprehensively, and this is wrong. I will stop here! I listen to you, and do everything well. Live your life."
He laughed, and his heart that was numb with pain seemed to feel relaxed again. Something was missing, and it had been weighing on his heart. It was not a big stone, but something very, very important, maybe the most important thing. Once it was lost, it felt "relaxing" "It's
Everything has passed, and he must face and admit a change. Ye Wei is no longer the same Ye Wei, and Lily is no longer the same Lily. It has passed.
"Thank you, I always have a lot to thank you for." Ye Weixiao said, "You have given me great strength during these days, thank you very much."
Lily was silent on the other end. He added: "That's it! Hahaha." He chuckled a few times, "Don't worry about me, I will be fine. Who am I? I won't become a monk, haha." He didn't know himself either. He was saying something, "That's it. Lily, thank youthat's it? Are we ready?"
"OkayI'm glad you understand, it's very important to me." Lily said.
"Then, goodbye." Ye Wei said.
"Goodbye, take care of yourself." Lily said.
Ye Wei pressed the end call button on the phone, put down the phone, took the mouse, deleted the entire "all-the-world-is-lily" folder, and cleared the recycle bin.
Determination and calmness did not come, but only pain and confusion.
He thought of the crossing of the Mara River and wanted to do something, but could not do anything.
¡ù¡ù
"Hi."
"Hi¡¡"
¡°I also like that short filmFilm? "
In the hazy moonlight, in the spacious and elegant girls' bedroom in Brentwood, the sound of mobile phone conversations rang.
Lily sat at the computer desk and refreshed the web page, but it could no longer be opened. Her heart seemed blank and filled with countless unknown things. I don't know what to say, so my words are messy: "I, I'm very grateful! The short film and the website are very interesting, I like it very much but I feel a little uncomfortable, as if"
"You seem to want to vomit, right?" Ye Wei's sneer came from the mobile phone, "It's okay, I have closed the website, and no one else will know about the short video, don't worry."
"Wei!" Lily shouted anxiously, "I'm not I mean, our situation is very strange, I can't understand it." She looked at the postcards on the table, the top one was from Sval Sent from Longyearbyen in the Bad Islands, it reads "August 16, sincere greetings from the North Pole."
She stroked the reindeer stamp on the postcard with her left index finger, and her voice almost trembled: "All this, what is this? It's like a strange competition. I keep thinking, have I become a target for you?"
Ye Wei was silent for a while and then said: "I'm not a bad person. You always think that I am a shameless bad person! I'm sorry for hurting you before! Lily I'm stupid sometimes, but I don't want to chase you back and hurt you again." You're so boring. I won't pester you anymore, that's selfish, you really don't like it, I understand."
"You don't understand, you fool!" Lily couldn't help scolding him.
"Yes, I am a fool, haha." Ye Wei took a deep breath and smiled, "What a ridiculous fool. I will stop here and it will be over! Do as you like."
"You are always talkative" Lily didn't know what she was talking about. Maybe she didn't say anything, maybe she was yelling: "As I like? What do I like? You make everything worse. It¡¯s such a mess, I don¡¯t have the answer!¡±
Ye Wei said with a smile in his bad boy tone: "Thank you, thank you for putting up with me these past few months and giving me a lot of strength. Who knows the future, but I will definitely not be a monk, haha! Haili is still there There are many other fish, but one of them will like me, so don¡¯t worry.¡±
"Wei, why are you doing thisis it interesting?" Lily said.
"I won't bother you anymore, really, goodbye." Ye Wei said.
"Wait!" Lily said.
There was a beep of hang-up, and she looked at the postcards, her heart aching as if it was cracking.
