He just made a whole circle in the building, asking everyone with a purple work badge he saw, but they all said they didn't know where Bai Jiachen was.
His phone is off, no response on WeChat, he is even prepared to spend the whole night looking for people today.
I didn't expect her to come back here in the end.
"Bai Jiachen." Lin Xu went over and squatted down, carefully lifting up the hem of her dragging skirt.
Bai Jiachen Busy burying flowers, no time to bother with him.
Lin Xu Looking at the sky: "Ah, the weather is really nice today. Do you want to hear a story from me?"
"What?"
"A sad story, about the origin of this rose..."
"Boring."
Bai Jiachen turned around, disdainfully flicked a petal at him, and briefly told the story for him.
Lin Xu covered his chest and said, "Bai Jiachen, can you read minds? You seem to know everything I'm thinking."
Bai Jiachen looked at him coldly, unimpressed by his poor performance.
She didn't want to be comforted, she just wanted to be alone, but Lin Xu stared at her with puppy-like eye contact. Bai Jiachen got annoyed and glared at him, and soon Lin Xu backed down and got up.
"Fine, you win, I'll go. Call me if you need anything."
A hand suddenly grabbed his pants leg.
"Wait a moment."
Under the full moon, two defeated dogs sit back to back by the fountain, with pedestrians faintly visible across the street, and in the distance, there is the sound of distant music.
"Lin Xu, I've been scammed again this time," the girl pointed with her delicate white fingers at the tall building she had just come out of.
Lin Xu Following the direction she pointed, those brightly lit windows were like sparkling jewelry boxes, each grid embedding many people's lives.
The world is vast, worldly affairs are trivial, and people are as small as dust.
Lin Xu expressed his feelings and said something unhelpful: "Don't be sad, you can always start over."
Bai Jiachen lowered his head and said, "I'm not sad, I just feel empty inside, like a barren land with no way forward. Do you understand that feeling?"
"You are a typical aftermath of failure."
Lin Xu sighed, "That's why I advised you not to get your hopes up in the car. You didn't look in the mirror at the time, so you didn't realize that your mouth was stretched to your ears. I was worried that with your arrogant attitude, if things didn't work out, you would be at a loss."
"Lin Xu, shut up."
Bai Jiachen was angry: "I don't even want to live anymore, can you be a little kinder?"
"Okay, it's my fault. But you keep talking about death, be careful, your luck might really turn for the worse."
"How much worse can it get? Does not talking about luck make it better?"
Bai Jiachen looked like he had been stung by a hornet: "Do you know how they talked to me today, Master Bai? Your lines are so clean, the scenes and framing are excellent. I really admire your work. But in order to fit the market, after signing the contract, please use our screenwriters and scripts."
Lin Xu finally understands why her relationship with Bai Jiachen fell apart.
For someone who expresses themselves so strongly and even wants to use their work to change society, it's very difficult for her to draw according to someone else's will.
However—
"You're rejecting me like this?" Lin Xu could hardly believe it.
"I want to draw my own story."
"This is the Starry that you've always wanted to serialize, right?"
"Lin Xu, do you also think I'm stupid?"
Bai Jiachen said sadly, "Actually, I never envy those classmates who make a lot of money. It's okay not to afford an assistant, it's okay not to have a salary. As long as I can continue to paint, I feel that life is full of hope. But now everyone tells me that the environment is like this, today and in the future, it won't change. I have to compromise..."
"Bai Jiachen." He held her hand tightly, wanting to comfort her.
"Lin Xu, I'm very scared—" The girl suddenly looked up, tears shining in her eyes as she looked into his.
"I live in fear every day. I'm afraid of choosing the wrong path, afraid that I don't have the talent to become a manga artist, and most of all, I'm afraid that one day, I'll regret my persistence today."
I can't face myself like that.
