In late August, in a small town in southern China, spring seems to have been abandoned. On both sides of the limestone road, flowers of all colors competed with each other, and the road was filled with the cries of the merchants.
It's time to eat mushrooms, and the whole street is filled with the scent of mushrooms.
“Why are you coming with me?” Tang Yin picked up the rice noodles in her bowl and looked at Fu Li in front of her. “Are you not busy?”
“After you left five years ago, I rarely shoot again.” Fu Li took out a quail egg from his bowl and placed it in Tang Yin's bowl. “This, you like this.”
“It's true. After all you do not intend to stay long in the entertainment industry.” Fu Li has a good family background. Back then, what he learned was not acting at all. It was just that he lived in the same dormitory as Liu Xingchuan. After graduation, he joined the entertainment industry with Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin.
“Ya.” Fu Li sipped his soup. “I remember ten years ago, you said that when you have money in the future, you will come to Yunnan to travel.”
“Ya, it's been ten years.” Tang Yin's mind was brought back to ten years ago by Fu Li.
At that moment, Liu Xingchuan was desperate while Tang Yin left early and returned late to withdraw the investment. Although Fu Li had a good family background, he had a great conflict with his parents. His parents stopped paying his living expenses. The three of them rented a small house in Beijing together. At that time, Tang Yin often said that once she had the money, she would not care about anything else. He would lie on the grass in Yunnan and see the rolling clouds. When he was tired, he would go to a nearby store to buy a bowl of fragrant rice noodles.
Later, Tang Yin became rich, but she was busy with Liu Xingchuan's affairs all day. How could he have time to come to Yunnan?
Only now did Tang Yin finally fulfill one of her wishes back then.
“Do you know why I entered the entertainment industry back then?” Fu Li took out a piece of fresh mushroom and bit it, filling his mouth with scent.
“Isn't it because you fought with your parents and they won't pay you for living expenses so you need money?”
“Then, do you know why we are in conflict?” Fu Li put down his chopsticks. Without waiting for Tang Yin to reply, she answered herself, “Because I told them that I wanted to enter the entertainment circle. Our family has been in politics for generations. They will not allow any son to enter the entertainment circle.”
Tang Yin was stunned. He looked at the handsome Fu Li in front of him as if this was the first time he had met him. For so many years, his gaze had always been on Liu Xingchuan. He never thought about this at all.
However, in the end, Tang Yin still lowered her head and fiddled with the rice noodles in her bowl. “Then now you don't really take on the role anymore, it's better to resolve the conflict with your parents.”
“I can't.”
“Why?”
“Because I've always been unmarried. They always wanted me to find a wife.” As Fu Li spoke, he continued to stare at Tang Yin. Tang Yin felt this gaze and did not dare to raise her head.
“Oh,” Tang Yin finally replied gently and did not ask Fu Li why she had not been married for so many years.
In the past, he had always thought that Fu Li had high standards and did not meet a suitable person. But today, he seemed to finally see the gaze behind him that had been there for a long time. Fu Li did not say anything more. The two of them finished their meal with different thoughts.
Rain often falls in the south. Before the meal was over, it was already raining outside.
A child was selling an umbrella that cost ten yuan each. Tang Yin bought two and handed one to Fu Li.
They used to share umbrellas when it rained, but now they can't.
Fu Li took the umbrella and did not say anything, walking in the rain with Tang Yin.
When they were almost at the inn, Fu Li suddenly stopped his steps. “Wait.”
“What's wrong?” Tang Yin thought that Fu Li had left something at the rice noodle shop. Fu Li walked to a flowerbed not far away and reached out to break a few flower stalks.
Tang Yin looked at Fu Li's figure from afar and sighed.
