I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 397 [The carefree days are over]

"It's a pity, Teacher Li, that you didn't get to see Ningning fulfill your dream."

At the door of the funeral home, two men and one woman stood under the street light, smoking.

As ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend, there is no gap between Zhang Yuming and Yu Li.

After all, we had known each other for a long time and it was a peaceful breakup.

Many people in the Mei Limao crew were busy filming, so it would take time for them to get here. The two of them who had temporarily stopped working had to come earlier than the others.

In addition, there was Chang Zhengwei, who also arrived a while earlier.

"By the way, I haven't forgotten to congratulate you, Teacher Chang."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuming looked at Chang Zhengwei and said, "Before, he only had the acting skills of a movie emperor, but not the title of movie emperor. Now he is finally a movie emperor who deserves the title."

"Some time ago, I was in the crew, so I could only send you a message."

"We finally meet, later... well, it's already past three o'clock, let's find a chance to have dinner tomorrow."

He was referring to the award that someone won recently.

"Don't talk about this at a time like this."

Chang Zhengwei waved his hand and said, "We can have dinner tomorrow. I want to eat Sichuan cuisine. It's your treat."

Should we say that I have become more indifferent as I get older, or something else?

They were not that sad when Li Zhenxi left, just like Zhang Yu was at the beginning. They were sad for sure, but not to the point of crying or having a grief-stricken face.

All I can say is, that’s it.

But it’s not to the point where they happily congratulate each other on their achievements in front of someone else’s funeral home.

"It's my treat. It's my treat."

Zhang Yuming replied with a smile, and then looked at Yu Li next to him, "Are you coming too?"

"Row."

Yu Li finished her cigarette and put it out. "Director Lu is gone?"

"Well, I left after burning incense."

Chang Zhengwei took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and replied, "Very busy, Director Lu, I didn't even get to say a few words. He said he had an appointment with the kindergarten tomorrow and wanted to go see the school."

"Really."

Yu Li nodded. She didn't order a second one and just stood there quietly.

The three of them stopped talking and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

It was a late winter night and the wind was very strong, so they all wrapped themselves in their down jackets.

Zhang Yuming looked at Yu Li rubbing her hands and breathing out, raised his hands, and wanted to do something, but when he thought of his current identity, he put them down again.

“I always feel that I am not as happy as before.”

He looked inside and saw the crying Li and Liu family members. "Do you remember when we were filming the old corpse in the mountain village? Hey, Director Lu frightened us so much that we were shaking. It seemed to be winter then, right?"

“Yes, from autumn to winter.”

Recalling that time, Chang Zhengwei couldn't help but smile on his serious face. "That was the first time I met Teacher Liang. No, it should be said that it was the first time I realized that Teacher Liang was a ghost. Do you remember?"

"How could I forget that? I remember who it was, oh, Old Wei."

Zhang Yuming also laughed, "He pretended not to realize that Teacher Liang was a ghost, and pulled us to run away, but Bai Wei stupidly shouted that Teacher Liang was a ghost!"

"That kid was really stupid at that time!"

"Everyone has thought of it and stepped back, but he is the only one who is trying to be clever."

He just said this, and the picture appeared in his mind.

"No, we didn't know her last name was Liang at that time. There's something wrong with your memory." Yu Li rolled her eyes at him, "What he said should be true. It was clearly a real ghost."

"is it?"

Zhang Yuming was a little skeptical, but he didn't refute it. He shook his head and said, "I forgot, it's been too long. It must have been ten years ago."

"Ah, I was really happy back then, even though I was a little scared sometimes, but...it always feels different from now, right?"

"They are all very, well, how should I put it, energetic?"

"Vigorous? What do you mean? Ten years ago, I was your age now." Chang Zhengwei looked at him, "But it was indeed different then."

Everyone was very relaxed at that time, and there was a bit of fun in the words from time to time, which made people laugh.

But I don’t know when it started, but things gradually became serious.

Since leaving the crew and starting to develop on his own, Director Lu got married or had a child? In the end, it's all about age.

When you reach a certain age, some issues that you could temporarily avoid in your teens and twenties have to be brought up and need to be truly faced. You can no longer be so carefree.

As I think more about it, it is inevitable that my speech, expression, writing... gradually become serious and earnest.

"Ugh……"

Late at night, under the street lights, the sighs of the three people were heard again.

Not only am I more serious, but as I get older, I also start sighing more often.

If only I could stay in that carefree moment forever.

But in the final analysis, when people are carefree, it is simply because others help them take on that responsibility, whether it is their parents or some other people.

……

"Meow."

Ayong is an old acquaintance of Li Zhenxi, and he also came along this time.

On the way back, he shouted.

"After all, at this age, we always want more separations."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and said helplessly, "Besides, many of the people I know are older than me. Some are a few years older, and some are ten years older. For example, Lao Zhang is two years older than me."

"I've already crossed halfway to thirty, and in a few days I'll be heading for forty."

"It can't be that I am getting older while others are not. If they are old, then they should die too."

What's more, he knows a lot of people.

Ordinary people may only have a few friends in their own small circle, and in daily life and work, who are close enough to attend each other's funerals.

But he is different. He has a wide social circle, not only in the film and television industry, but also in some other circles.

As he gets to know more people and he is a relatively reliable person, he participates in more activities in this regard.

Not to mention funerals, he also received many invitations for happy events.

It’s just that compared to funerals, which are more solemn, for weddings he could send some gifts online and declined the invitation to go online.

Being of age is one thing, but the main thing is that your social circle is wider and more complex.

Ayong tilted his cat head, "Meow?"

"People leave, isn't that normal?"

Lu Zhengyi touched his head, "But don't worry, I'm at least with you...with you, 70 years, right? At least you have to live to be a 100-year-old. If it's too long, it won't be meaningful."

The longevity that others pursue is just a matter of words for him.

In fact, he didn't want to live that long.

"Meow!"

Ayong stared at the cat's eyes.

"before me?"

Lu Zhengyi recalled, "Ayong, I will not make such a promise that I cannot keep."

His tone was somewhat serious.

He won't say anything like he'll always be with you.

The life of spiritual creatures is too long, and Lu Zhengyi will not make a promise easily.

He lived too long, or rather, existed too long, which was not a good thing for the world.

"Meow!"

A dark mass stood on a chair at the airport and shouted fiercely at Lu Zhengyi. "Ayong, even if you are afraid of separation, don't be alone."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him, hesitated, and stretched out his hand, wanting to stroke his fluffy cat head as usual, "You always have to learn..."

However, this time, his hand did not touch the other person as easily as it did during the last conversation.

Ayong avoided his hand and looked at him angrily.

"I forced the others to stay by my side to learn and adapt to the rules of human society." Lu Zhengyi withdrew his hand helplessly, "They always wanted to learn as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible. Only you were unwilling to leave."

"But you also have to learn the lesson of separation."

"Just this once, you go out and take a look by yourself, I..."

As he spoke, his voice became increasingly quiet.

"Meow!"

Ayong, who had been dodging his palm, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he realized something and became anxious.

He lunged forward, but there was nothing in front of him.

Inside the airport, he was running around like a cat, shouting and yelling everywhere.

However, no matter how hard Ayong looked, he couldn't find that familiar figure.

"Hey, what's wrong with this cat?"

"Where's the ground crew? Ground crew!"

"Don't be violent, this kitten is quite cute."

"Come, cat, come to your sister."

"Is it hungry? I have some sausages here..."

Noisy voices kept drilling into his ears, and Ayong could not hear anything happening around him.

Irritated, getting more and more irritated.

The anxious feeling, the people surrounding him, and the noise they made all affected Ayong's mood.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, he turned his head, looked at the people who gathered around him, and shouted.

An invisible strong wind swept by, and the clothes and hair of the people around were blown up by the wind.

The shrill sound of a cat's cry is frightening.

Everyone stopped involuntarily, regardless of whether they were well-intentioned, malicious, or those who just stood there watching calmly without any emotion.

They all looked at the cat in surprise. No, was it... really a cat?

After Ayong shouted this, there was obvious regret in his eyes.

His cat eyes scanned the people present, then he turned around suddenly and ran out of the airport.

But his "human-like" demeanor and behavior made the people present feel a chill and their hair stand on end.

In this era of horror and thriller atmosphere, people can't help but think in that direction.

Special people and things can't help but make people feel afraid.

Even if someone appears familiar, once they have some peculiarities, people will unconsciously reject them.

This is how the word "outlier" came into being.

This is the case with Ayong and this is the case with Liu Baoning.

He is a cat, but he shows characteristics different from cats, so he is no longer weak and cute in people's eyes.

Liu Baoning was a little girl, but after she opened her mouth and predicted that "mother is going to die", Li Zhenxi really died. This was so strange that even her father found it hard to accept.

He was afraid that one day he would hear from his daughter that he was going to die.

Then, what kind of mood will I be in when the time comes?

"If it were me, I would definitely comfort Ningning. She had no way to prevent her mother's death, and she was already in great pain. Moreover, she was rejected by her father with such behavior."

In a small group where Liu Baoning was not there, several people were talking freely.

Talking behind people’s back is also normal as a human being.

A few days after Li Zhenxi passed away, almost everyone who knew her in the Mei Limao crew had already come to pay tribute to her.

At the scene, they could all see Liu Baoning's father's attitude towards her.

"Until things get to that point, who knows if I can face it calmly?"

"That's true, but her father's behavior is too obvious. If you don't know, you would think that the relationship between their family is very bad."

"Let alone anything else, if Ning Ning suddenly looked at me while we were filming one day, I might get scared too."

"Oh, everyone is like this. It's scary. Whoever looks at it will die."

"That's a bit harsh, brother."

"That's not what I meant. I just..."

At the beginning, some people in the group thought that her father's performance was not good.

But as they talked, some of them thought about it carefully and felt the same way.

They are not afraid of Liu Baoning or dislike Liu Baoning. Who wouldn't pamper a lovely girl they have seen since childhood?
But, her eyes are indeed...

Although, everyone will die.

But sometimes, not knowing is better than knowing, just like some people who realize something is wrong with their bodies but just refuse to go to the hospital for a check-up.

It’s okay not to check, maybe you can spend the rest of your time happily.

But after the examination, the days ahead will be difficult, treatment, lying in bed, worrying about the future, worrying about money, worrying about family, watching family quarrel because of me, watching...

It’s better not to know about all these dirty things.

But there was no way, that was Liu Baoning's fate.

Because of her eyes, she was born smarter than others and had been more sensible than others since she was a child. She was even a child star, and at a young age she had wealth and status that others could not accumulate in most of their lifetime.

As long as she works and lives according to the routine, her life can be said to be very happy.

If only she could get used to those eyes.

Instead of saying that because of the existence of those eyes, you should blame others and live your life with resentment and bitterness.

But that was her life.

"Yeah, I left Ayong at the airport. He has to live his own life. How can he always rely on me?"

After returning home, Lu Zhengyi was immediately criticized by Zhang Xueming.

"That has to be done step by step."

In the living room, Zhang Xueming looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Ayong has lived with us for so long. How will he survive if we suddenly ask him to go out alone? Can he adapt? He doesn't even have any money!"

"money……"

Lu Zhengyi looked at her helplessly, wondering why she would consider such a problem.

People who once said they wanted their children to be independent are now reluctant to let Yong, a cat, go out and explore the world.

"Cat, cat, cat!"

Lu Yongan sat on one side, looking at his mother here and his father there. It took him a long time to understand who they were talking about. He opened his arms and shouted that he wanted to find Maomao.

"This isn't the first time I've mentioned this to him."

Lu Zhengyi comforted the child who was looking for the cat and explained to his wife, "But before, he just answered 'yes, yes, yes' but did not take any action."

He has said several times that he wanted Yong to find his own life.

Before, he even took him to find a senior who was a spiritual creature, but Ayong still stayed by his side and was unwilling to go out.

It would be fine if they could always be here.

But the difference between their supposed lifespan and that of spiritual creatures is too huge.

In the days to come, they may not be able to accompany him.

A person’s spiritual sustenance can be a person, but it cannot be just one person.
