The Ferris wheel behind me stopped rotating, and another group of people got on. After a long time, I nodded under Maya's gaze and said, "Well, I do have something to do with you this time in Hengdian."
Maya said with an expected expression: "You definitely won't come to me because you miss me, and you won't miss me at all."
"Don't say that. It makes me feel like I'm a villain. I only come to you when I have trouble."
Maya smiled and asked teasingly: "Then have you missed me these days?"
"Come again"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, tell me, why are you looking for me?"
I was silent for a while and then asked: "Do you have any schedule recently?"
"The crew has just started shooting, and there are basically scenes every day."Maya replied.
"Are you so busy?" I sighed.
Maya nodded and said, "Well, the recent drama schedule has been very intensive. There are two night scenes tonight. I have to go back to the set soon. I can't stay with you for too long."
I felt a thump in my heart. I knew that there was a high possibility of returning without success this time, but I didn’t want to force Maya. I was silent for a while and said to her: "Then you go back first. It’s not too important for me to come to you." Just forget about it if you don’t have time.”
Maya raised her hand to look at her watch and said to me, "I have to go."
I smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Before leaving, Maya asked me again: "Where do you live?"
"Xiao Li's Inn."
"Oh, I'm leaving then. Bye Maxwell."Maya waved to me and trotted away.
The Ferris wheel was still turning, but I was suddenly alone, lying on the bench, not wanting to go back to the hotel.
Although I promised my boss that I would definitely get this done, I didn’t want to force Maya to do it. Since she really didn’t have a schedule, I would just leave this matter to fate.
The reason why I gave up my efforts so easily is because I know Maya's situation. She is just a newcomer on the crew. She often has to look at other people's faces to act. Moreover, when the crew is very busy with filming, it is really difficult to be free. Due to the schedule, we can't let the crew stop working to accommodate her, right?
In fact, I should be happy for Maya. The lack of availability just shows that she plays a very important role in this drama. Maybe she can really become famous in one drama.
Back at the hotel, I took a hot bath, relieved some fatigue and then lay on the bed. I couldn't help but worry about myself and Wesley's future work. I just hoped that Kyle was making a fuss, and I might not be able to do it. I am stuck on this matter and terminate this cooperation.
I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and the time had already reached the early morning in my anxious thoughts. The world gradually bid farewell to the hustle and bustle and fell into silence.
I walked to the window, opened it, lit a cigarette, looked out at the gray outside, and once again let myself go and didn't want to think about anything.
Suddenly there was a doorbell ringing. At first I thought it was coming from next door, but after listening carefully I realized it was coming from my own room.
I'm a little confused. Logically speaking, a private inn like this won't have any special services, so who is outside the door so late?
Looking through the peephole, he found that it was Maya standing outside the door.
I opened the door and Maya smiled at me and said, "How is it? It's a surprise."
"Only surprised, not happy." I was really shocked by Maya. I didn't expect that she would come to me at this time.
Maya entered the room, put her cosmetics and toiletries in the bathroom, and said to me: "I came to see you right after I finished filming. I will stay with you tonight."
"Are you in need?" I asked standing at the bathroom door.
"Yes, but not tonight. You can't have sex for one month after the abortion. You should know this basic physiological knowledge, Maxwell,"Maya said to me while removing her makeup.
"You can't change your deceitful nature. Now that you're such a gangster, do you think how difficult it will be for me to endure this night?"
"Think of a way to solve it yourself,"Maya said nonchalantly.
I said no more words.
I was lying on the bed watching TV. After washing, Maya got into the quilt in her pajamas and lay down next to me. Then she leaned into my arms, hugged me and said, "Stop watching TV."
"I can't fuck you, why don't you watch TV?" I still stared at the TV.
Maya found the remote control and turned off the TV. The room suddenly became silent. She rarely spoke seriously and said to me: "Tell me, why did you come to me this time?"
"I told you it's not a big deal," I said and went to get the remote control again.
"I'm not stupid. If it's just to sleep with me for one night, is it worth your while to rush to Hengdian from Suzhou?"Maya said and took the remote control from my hand.
"I'm not here just to sleep with you."
"Then stop nagging and tell me why you came to me."
After Maya's repeated questioning, I finally said: "Recently, i was discussing with our department store about setting up a special counter. A female representative from i saw the promotional poster you took for our mall and felt that your image was very suitable for i. Product positioning, I hope you can take a set of product posters for i to coordinate with the opening promotion." After that, I added, "You have to arrange for a schedule that won't open."
"Then does your company attach great importance to cooperation with i?"
"Our department store currently operates 7 international first-line brands, including i, which is exactly 8. It has reached the standard of top department store B, which is equivalent to a level up. It is very important." I replied.
"Look at you, I won't ask, you won't talk about such a big thing,"Maya complained in her tone.
"You really don't have a schedule, so it's useless even if I say it. You should put your work first. There's really no need to force it."
After being silent for a while, Maya asked me: "It will probably take a few days to complete the filming."
"It should be done in two days, maybe one day. I'm not sure yet how I plan to shoot."
Maya nodded and said: "That's okay. In fact, I told the director before I came here that I might need to take leave. He said he could arrange a two-day holiday for me. You can communicate with i and see what happens. It’s time to shoot.”
Suddenly a stone fell to the ground in my heart, and I reminded Maya, "Don't force yourself."
"There's nothing wrong with trying to do it for you."
The night was endless, with only a dim night light left in the room, Maya was still curled up in my arms, and neither of us seemed sleepy.
"Maxwell, do you think we will be together?"
I don't know why Maya suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a long time before answering, "We are not from the same world. Your future is bright. I have been muddling along. The reason why we sleep together now is more of emptiness." and physiological needs.”
"Maybe if I take this path, I won't expect love anymore."
When I suddenly heard the word love, I felt so empty and strange. I forgot that I was still talking to Maya.
We just fell into silence, and what we experienced was the helplessness of living. Although we sleep together at this moment, we will not really live together, because we are walking on different paths, and one day we will see each other when we part ways. less than each other.
"Maya, let's not get along like this anymore, otherwise it will become a burden for us in the future," I finally said after a long time.
Maya hugged me tightly again, was silent for a long time, and finally said in a calm tone: "Well, after this night, let's be friends."
This night, Maya and I slept on the same bed. She kept hugging me tightly and slept peacefully. I knew that what she needed was not a friend or a boyfriend, but just a support to keep herself from sinking in this world. In the thick of reality.
What about me? Maybe what I need is a woman who can live a serious life. I would like to give my heart to her for comfort, but where is she?
Remember: I have looked for the other side, but she is not there. I have looked for the other side, but she is not there either.
