Ji Xue, who is more than half a hundred years old, is living a simple and pure life. At dawn, she quietly appeared on the park bench, sat quietly, closed her eyes, and felt the vigorous vitality in the air with her heart, and felt the warm warmth brought by the warm spring breeze.
Occasionally, she would come alone to the lake, and let her thoughts wander between heaven and earth amid the sound of the murmuring of the stream. From time to time, I open a favorite book and let the white clouds float in the blue sky overhead, as if I am in the vast ocean of knowledge.
Ju Xue always couldn't help but stare at the quiet and harmonious scene in front of her, and a light smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth. However, if you look closely, you can notice that behind this smile, there are traces of time and tiredness added to her eyebrows.
Indeed, for Ju Xue, the life path she has walked can be described as full of ups and downs and twists and turns, and she tastes the mixed tastes.
Looking back on the past, the corners of Ji Xue's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. Once upon a time, she was also a high-profile A-list star in the entertainment industry, and she married her beloved director husband. However, fate is so impermanent, when her husband He Qun died suddenly, Ji Xue's spiritual world seemed to collapse instantly, and she lost her best friend, confidant, mentor, and partner...... Those who had been closest to her.
This sudden bad news dealt a heavy blow to Ju Xue, which made her love for acting career gradually dissipate, and she had to choose to leave the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry and live in seclusion temporarily. In that dark and confused time, countless times Juxue felt like a barren ruin in her heart, and she couldn't control the good times she spent with He Qun, and tears welled up in her heart like a flood that burst the embankment.
Ju Xue was born into a typical intellectual family, her father was a senior university professor, and her mother was also a school teacher. Since childhood, under the strict education of her parents, Juxue has developed a good habit of diligence and hard work, and she must insist on going to bed early and getting up early every day.
Her parents had high hopes for her to become an outstanding woman who was virtuous, generous, gentle and elegant.
In addition to the burden of schoolwork, Ji Xue's father has honed his table tennis skills to perfection with a strict attitude. At that time, table tennis was in full swing across the country, and the father hoped that his daughter would seize the opportunity to use it as a guide to explore her unique talent.
Ju Xue never complained about her parents' decision-making, and she threw herself into her table tennis training, using the sport as the only way to show her self-worth.
However, good times are always short-lived. As time passed, Ji Xue's fitness and reflexes were gradually declining, and she could no longer meet the high standards of professional athletes. Faced with this situation, the coach could only helplessly advise her to give up table tennis and find a new path of growth.
Ju Xue was in a sad mood, waving goodbye to this former dream with tears in her eyes.
A confidant friend saw that she was depressed, so he comforted her: "You are naturally beautiful, why not try it in your acting career?" These seemingly prosaic words inadvertently ignited Ju Xue's endless longing and yearning for the acting career.
By chance, Ju Xue plucked up her courage and sneaked into the filming site of a popular crew. She tensed her nerves and cautiously shuttled through the crowd, for fear that the staff would find out about her "illegal trespassing".
At the critical moment, a director appeared, and he was the famous Wang Chengcheng. Without waiting for the staff to ask, Director Wang took the initiative to come over and amiably asked about the meaning of Ji Xue.
"Little girl, do you want to become an actor? We're in need of a character here, so if you're interested, why not give it a try? Director Wang asked cordially.
Ju Xue was so pleasantly surprised, so excited that she could barely speak, just nodding her head non-stop. In this way, the first opportunity to perform in her life quietly came.
With her excellent appearance and sincere acting skills, Ju Xue quickly won Director Wang's recognition and won the actor's first job offer. Director Wang personally encouraged her that she could consider devoting herself to her acting career in the future.
Since then, Ji Xue has buried this dream deep in her heart.
When Ju Xue was preparing for the college entrance examination, she was finally admitted to the performance department of the prestigious Shanghai Theater Academy, which officially opened a new prelude to her systematic study of performing arts in the professional field. However, less than four years later, Ju Xue has successfully completed all the courses and was arranged to work at the Beijing Repertory Theatre as an actor.
Time passed to 1990, and Ju Xue unexpectedly received an audition invitation, which was to participate in the filming of a film and television masterpiece called "The Married Girl". This work also became the young newcomer's debut in the field of film and television. During the intense and expectant filming process, Ju Xue and the talented He Qun met and got to know each other.
At that time, although He Qun was only a member of the screenwriter who was not yet well-known, his unique temperament of humor and rich knowledge made Ju Xue deeply admired. The two inadvertently sparked, and He Qun's fresh, free, intelligent and charming image left an indelible mark on Ji Xue's heart.
In a casual conversation, He Qun inadvertently revealed his identity as a director, and Ju Xue was shocked by this, and developed a deep respect for him, regarding him as a mentor on his life path, and admiration arose. From that moment on, Ju Xue's admiration for He Qun became stronger and stronger.
With her superb acting skills, "The Married Girl" won the warm praise and popularity of the audience for Ju Xue as soon as it was released, and He Qun was also deeply impressed by her talented acting talent. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to send an invitation to Ju Xue, and sincerely invited her to join the filming team of the new film "Fire and Gold" that he was about to direct.
This is the first time the two of them have worked together, but it will never be the last. In the following years, Ju Xue has become the "queen heroine" in almost every film and television work of He Qun. They have shown a high degree of tacit understanding in their work, and together they have created one eye-catching screen masterpiece after another, which has won warm praise from countless audiences.
However, the close connection at work alone is no longer enough to meet the growing emotional needs between the two. The respected director He Qun in Ji Xue's heart is quietly transforming into the man she loves deep down.
In addition to their busy schedules, they often get together intimately to discuss their experiences in character building and artistic creation, thus deepening their deep relationship with each other. He Qun is full of praise for Ju Xue's outstanding talent, and sincerely hopes that she can spread her wings in her acting career and achieve more brilliant achievements.
People in the drama world often make fun of He Qun and Ju Xue: "The two have co-starred in many masterpieces, and the level of tacit understanding is amazing!" Why not just join hands and return to the palace of marriage? This seemingly unintentional joke was unconsciously confirmed.
After countless times of hard work and cooperation, He Qun's feelings for Ju Xue were as hot as fire, and finally at an appropriate moment, he boldly and frankly confessed the blazing love in his heart with full enthusiasm. Ji Xue smiled shyly, almost in an inaudible voice, and responded in a whisper: "I do." ”
The deep friendship between the two on and off the screen helped them write a good story together, and finally became a family member and entered the sacred hall of marriage. As the virtuous wife of a well-known director, Ju Xue's fame and influence have grown day by day, and she has become the focus of attention, and her name shines brightly.
The sweet time of the newlywed Yan'er is like a dream, fleeting. The original atmosphere of affection was quickly replaced by the pressure of heavy work. In order to ensure that the filming schedule went smoothly, He Qun worked day and night on new scripts, and at the same time, he also had to deal with the flood of social activities, which caused the time spent with Juxue to be drastically reduced.
The situation of Ju Xue is also not optimistic, in order to complete the filming task within the scheduled schedule, she has to run non-stop and busy. Every time I returned home, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I didn't even have the strength to speak, and I didn't have time to share the joy of family with my husband.
As time flies, the emotional bond between the two is like a river about to dry up, and the passion and vitality of the past gradually dissipate, leaving only a dead silence, and only a prosaic companionship between each other.
Ju Xue gradually realized that the love between her and He Qun had cracked under the baptism of the years, and the sweet times of the past were difficult to trace. So, she mustered up the courage to confess her true feelings to He Qun.
"We seem to have lost that original beauty, and we can no longer regain the feeling we once had, maybe we should try to retreat to the position of friends, which will be more relaxed." Ju Xue said sincerely.
These categorical words pierced the last hope in He Qun's heart like a sharp sword, making him feel like he was in a cold pool, painful to the bone marrow. Even though there is endless attachment in his heart, after repeated consideration, He Qun has to accept this cruel reality - their love can no longer continue.
In order to avoid further reluctance, so as not to bring deeper harm to the other party, He Qun chose to respect and accept Ji Xue's decision, even though his heart was suffering a tearing pain. "Perhaps what you're saying is that we're better suited to be friends around us." He Qun said affectionately and firmly.
So, in a quiet and harmonious atmosphere, Ju Xue and He Qun signed the agreement announcing the end of their marriage. The couple, who had lived through storms together, are now on their own paths.
However, what is unexpected is that after the divorce between Juxue and He Qun, their relationship has become closer, as if they have returned to the innocent and flawless friendship when they first met.
Whenever He Qun fell into a creative dilemma, Ju Xue always accompanied him with the most sincere friendship and shared his life insights; And when Juxue needs assistance, He Qun will not hesitate to put down the affairs in his hand and quickly rush to her side.
In this way, they have once again become close friends in life, and the emotional bond between them does not need to be bound by marriage, as long as they are cared for and managed with sincerity, this simple and unpretentious friendship can be eternal and new.
