The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 708 Tragic past, the sudden arrival of Lin Luoxue
Zhong Bai's proposal was unanimously approved by Ren Yifan and Lu Qiaochuan, and Zhou Chen did not object.

So Zhong Bai operated the phone, and quickly pulled Lin Luoxue, Li Shuci, and Gu Yixin to the winter vacation game group established by Zhou Chen.

With the addition of three girls, the game group suddenly became very lively, and various information was constantly updated.

Zhong Bai happily took photos of the hot pot and various dishes on the table, and uploaded them to the group, which aroused the envy of Lin Luoxue and others.

Yu Hao yelled even more, he didn't call him for such a good thing, he would have known that he would also travel to Su City with him.

Zhong Bai was having a great time chatting in the group, while the three of Zhou Chen started to add vegetables to the hot pot and finished the seasonings they had bought.

The speed of the hot pot was still very fast. It didn't take long for the three of Zhou Chen to start.

"Hey, didn't you say that this side is slightly spicy? Why is it so spicy?"

The hot pot is mandarin duck hot pot, Ren Yifan eats spicy hot pot, after just two mouthfuls, it becomes too spicy, so he quickly picked up the drink next to him and poured it down.

Zhong Bai looked disdainful: "Ren Yifan, can you do it, if you can't do it, don't be brave."

Ren Yifan waved his hands again and again: "No, this is really not good, you can't eat it, it's too spicy, and you'll get acne if you eat it, I still eat mushroom soup."

"As a girl, I'm not afraid of spicy food or acne, but you, a man, are afraid of it. How shameful." Zhong Bai was even more disdainful.

Lu Qiaochuan retorted: "Zhong Bai, you can't say that. It doesn't matter if you don't eat spicy food or not. I don't like spicy food either."

Zhong Bai: "Look at you two pussies chirping, look at Zhou Chen, he eats spicy food."

When Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan saw Zhou Chen eating spicy hot pot, they didn't even breathe out, as if they couldn't feel the spice, which made their eyes stare straight and their faces full of admiration.

Zhou Chen said very calmly: "What are you looking at, it's a little spicy, it's a trivial matter, you have never been to Jiangxi Province, there is a place there, the spicy food is really good."

He has lived for so many years, and he has basically been to most of the country. He has also been to many places that eat spicy food, and he has eaten a lot of spicy food. In his Jiangsu Province, the abnormally spicy food is probably not as good as those places.

"awesome."

What else Ren Yifan and Lu Qiaochuan could say, they could only scream in admiration.

The four of them ate hot pot together, and they didn't have so many scruples. You came and went, you robbed each other, and it was a lot of trouble. There was a big table full of dishes, and they were all wiped out.

"Oh, I can't, I'm too full to move."

Ren Yifan slumped on the chair, his stomach was bulging and his body was covered in sweat.

Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai are similar, only Zhou Chen has a big appetite, not as exaggerated as them.

Zhou Chen directed them bluntly: "Don't dawdle, drink some water, sit for a while, and quickly clean up the table. If you don't clean up, what will happen to the room after one night."

"One more break, one more rest."

After Zhou Chen and the others packed up, it was already past nine o'clock.

Lu Qiaochuan glanced at the time and said to Zhong Bai: "Zhong Bai, we should go back, it's past nine o'clock."

Ren Yifan said: "Why go back, Zhou Chen has three rooms, Mr. Lu, you can share one with me, and Zhong Bai sleeps in the other."

Lu Qiaochuan gave Ren Yifan a hard look, and said: "What are you talking about, I don't care, but Zhong Bai is a girl, you let her live with us, are you crazy?"

Ren Yifan laughed and said: "I just said it casually, you take it seriously, I'm not really stupid, I'm just joking."

Lu Qiaochuan also understood Ren Yifan's temperament, and there was nothing he could do about him.

"Zhong Bai, let's go back twice, anyway, it's not far from here, and we'll arrive soon by taxi."

Of course Zhong Bai would not reject Lu Qiaochuan, and she never thought of staying, after all, she was a girl, how could she stay outside, even with a good friend she was familiar with.

"Okay, let's go now."

Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai packed up their notebooks, carried their bags, said goodbye to Zhou Chen and Ren Yifan, and took the elevator to leave.

"Well, now it's just the two of us again."

Ren Yifan was a little helpless, but he didn't have a sad look on his face. Anyway, at least he had Zhou Chen by his side. If he returned home, he would really be alone.

"It's only after nine o'clock, and I don't feel sleepy now, let's play for a while and call Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao."

"You send a message in the group to see if they are free."

"it is good."

After chatting in the prestige group for a while, both Yu Hao and Xiao Haiyang did not refuse, and they went online again. Yu Hao was at home, but Xiao Haiyang went to an internet cafe to spend the night.

Originally, four people played together. After Lu Qiaochuan returned home, he also went online. The five-person team gathered again, and started the dungeon group destruction mode again and again.

Until after eleven o'clock, Yu Hao, Lu Qiaochuan, Zhou Chen and Ren Yifan all went offline, only Xiao Haiyang continued.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

For the past ten days, Ren Yifan has been staying at Zhou Chen's house, either playing games with Zhou Chen at home, or going downstairs to Lu Qiaochuan's house for dinner, and even going to Zhong Bai's house.

As for the meal between him and Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen provided meals directly at the restaurant in front of the community, two meals at noon and in the evening.

Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai often come to Zhou Chen's place these days. It seems that his place has become a gathering place for the four of them. If they have nothing to do, they come to get together, play games, brag, play cards, and eat.

The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the community and the streets are getting more and more lively, but all of this has nothing to do with Zhou Chen and Ren Yifan.

During this time, they became nerds. Zhou Chen was fine, and he would get up for a run in the morning, but Ren Yifan, apart from going out for dinner, only went out twice. He still went to clean up and bought a lot of snacks and daily necessities.

He Feifei and Lin Luoxue, who said they might come over before the holiday, have never been.

He Feifei said that something happened at home and she couldn't leave, and Lin Luoxue had the same reason, which made Zhou Chen quite helpless.

It was to take care of Ren Yifan's mood, otherwise, he would not be able to stay at home with Ren Yifan every day, and would have gone out to be chic.

In the blink of an eye, the last day of the Lunar New Year is here.

Waking up early this morning, Zhou Chen clearly felt that Ren Yifan's mood was not right. He understood that although Ren Yifan said he didn't care about that family, in fact, he still had some expectations in his heart. After all, there was his family there. loved ones.

It's just that in these years, my heart has been hurt too much, so I don't have any expectations, and I don't have much emotion.

After lunch, Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai were called to Zhou Chen's place by Ren Yifan, and then they had another hot pot meal and two cases of beer.

After the people are all together, start working directly.

"Come on, do one before starting, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and wish everyone a happy new year!"

Ren Yifan was the first to raise his wine glass, and Zhou Chen and the other three also raised their wine glasses and killed them in one gulp.

As the host, Zhou Chen said with a smile: "This meal should be our last dinner of the year. To be honest, I am still very grateful to you. Without you, I guess this New Year's Eve would only be the same. I can pass alone, thank you, I did it, you can do whatever you want."

Even if he has lived for many years, he can endure loneliness, but if he has a choice, he still doesn't like to spend the New Year alone.

During the New Year, other people's families are full of family reunions, and you are alone, watching the fireworks outside, it is impossible not to be touched in your heart.

The three of Lu Qiaochuan had known Zhou Chen's situation for a long time, and when they heard Zhou Chen's words, they didn't know how to persuade them, so they all raised their glasses.

"Don't say that, in fact, we should thank you. I have disturbed you a lot during this time. I eat and drink with you, and that's you. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have driven us away long ago. "

"Hahaha……"

All four laughed.

"drink."

"..."

This drink, from more than three o'clock in the afternoon, directly to nearly six o'clock.

However, although the time is not short, the efficiency is really low. Two boxes of beer took more than two hours to drink one and a half boxes, and there is still half a box left.

"No, I really can't drink anymore, I really can't drink anymore."

Lu Qiaochuan was the first to be discouraged. He basically doesn't drink alcohol, but this time he drank nearly five bottles, which means that it took a long time to evaporate, otherwise he might be drunk.

Zhong Bai's cheeks were flushed even more, she was a girl, she drank the least, but she also drank more than three bottles.

"I can't drink anymore. After eating so much shabu-shabu and vegetables, and drinking so much beer, my stomach is full. How can I have New Year's Eve dinner when I go back?"

"Yeah, I will have New Year's Eve dinner when I go back, and my parents are still waiting for me at home."

Ren Yifan's face was also rosy, and he rolled his eyes: "Look at you, where are you now, I haven't finished the two boxes of wine yet."

Lu Qiaochuan waved his hand and said: "Don't drink, and you don't drink anymore. Zhong Bai and I live relatively close to here, but you live so far away, how can you go back if you drink too much?"

She had good intentions, but when Ren Yifan heard this, he yelled on the spot.

"Who wants to go back? I won't go back, I don't want to go home, let's continue drinking."

After speaking, he drank a cup by himself.

Both Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai saw that something was wrong with him, and asked with concern: "Ren Yifan, what's wrong with you?"

Ren Yifan was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I don't want to go home today, Zhou Chen, I'll stay with you, let's spend New Year's Eve together, how about brothers?"

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I don't care, anyway, you've lived here for more than ten days, so you can stay here if you want."

Ren Yifan immediately put his arms around Zhou Chen's shoulders, his expression moved, and his voice choked up: "Good brother, Zhou Chen, don't say too much, you will be my best brother Ren Yifan from now on, and today, we two brothers will spend New Year's Eve together."

He lived under the same roof with Zhou Chen for more than ten days, and he knew clearly that although Zhou Chen was alone, he was more open than he thought.

It was said that he stayed to accompany Zhou Chen, but in fact, it was more because he wanted Zhou Chen to accompany him.

But Zhong Bai couldn't understand: "No, Ren Yifan, what are you thinking, you don't mind it usually, today is New Year's Eve, you don't go home to accompany your parents during the Chinese New Year, what are you doing at Zhou Chen's house? Are you talking to your parents? in argument?"

Ren Yifan was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then showed a bitter smile.

"I quarreled with my dad and I quarreled with my mom, but I never quarreled with my parents."

Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai looked at each other, and then at Zhou Chen, who folded his arms and remained silent.

In the end, Zhong Bai asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Ren Yifan struggled for a moment, but decided to show his worst side to his best friend.

"When I was seven years old, my parents divorced. I was very good before the age of seven."

Zhou Chen knew about it a long time ago, so he didn't show any surprised expression, but as Ren Yifan's two best friends, Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai were both dumbfounded.

They had known Ren Yifan for several years, but they never knew that this was the situation in Ren Yifan's family.

At this moment, the two of them finally understood why Ren Yifan said just now that he didn't want to go home, and they also somewhat understood why he would rather spend New Year's Eve with Zhou Chen than go home.

"You never told us?"

Ren Yifan said indifferently: "You never asked."

Lu Qiaochuan was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it now, when they were together, he and Zhong Bai often talked about their respective families and parents, but Ren Yifan seemed to have never mentioned it once, and he and Zhong Bai were indeed Not once asked.

Ren Yifan continued: "I also have a younger brother and a younger sister. One is seven years old and the other is nine years old. The younger brother's surname is Ren, and the younger sister's surname is Feng."

With that said, he drank another cup by himself.

Zhou Chen raised his glass silently, and killed him in one gulp. He has traveled through so many film and television worlds. Although he is often an orphan, if he has parents, the family is pretty good. At least someone will care about him.

As for Ren Yifan, although he is related to both families, in fact, neither of the two families can blend in, he is simply an outsider with blood relationship.

"Have you ever seen Guanqian Street at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve? Zhong Bai, the one opposite your house, have you seen it at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve?"

Zhong Bai didn't understand why Ren Yifan asked this question, and shook his head blankly.

Ren Yifan showed a self-deprecating smile.

"During the daytime of Chinese New Year's Eve, the street is very lively. Everyone brings their children to buy new year's goods and ingredients, but once it's twelve o'clock in the evening, there is no one on the street, and even the shops that are open for 11 hours are closed. , only the street lamps are still on, and they stand there in groups, as if laughing at your loneliness, one after another, year after year, and [-] years have passed like this.”

"Isn't it ironic? In this city, the moment when every family is reunited is the emptiest time in the city itself."

Listening to Ren Yifan narrating his misery and mocking his loneliness, Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai were silent, not knowing how to persuade Ren Yifan.

Zhou Chen's heart was touched, but it was limited. It wasn't that he didn't have sympathy, but that he had lived a long time and had seen a lot.

From Ren Yifan's own point of view, he lived a miserable and lonely life, but he never thought that in this world, there are too many people who live more miserable lives than him.

He has no family ties, no family, but at least he can still get living expenses from both parents, which can guarantee his superior life.

And many people living at the bottom do the heaviest work and get the least money.

At any rate, he can still go home for the New Year. Many people, even for the New Year, still have to work and work hard.

There are even many people who don't know the meaning of living, but they still live like walking dead.

I have seen a lot of tragic things, and when I look at Ren Yifan again, I won't feel how miserable he is.

But for Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai, who live in ivory towers and under the care of their parents, Ren Yifan is really miserable.

Ren Yifan seemed to want to complain enough, seeing that the three of Lu Qiaochuan didn't intend to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Ask me why I know."

Lu Qiaochuan said cooperatively, "Why?"

"Because after my parents divorced, they didn't seem to want to see each other, so one lived in the west of the city and the other lived in the east of the city. Every year before [-] o'clock on the New Year's Day, I stayed at my father's house. After [-] o'clock, I'm going to my mother's house."

"Therefore, I crossed the entire city at the moment of the family reunion of every Chinese, and cooperated with the reunion of the two families, but in fact, they can reunite without me."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was getting more and more sad, Zhou Chen couldn't sit still anymore, so he patted Ren Yifan on the shoulder.

"I have complained so much, you are a bit miserable, but look at me, I am alone, don't I still live well? Why do you think so much? According to my personality, if I were you, they would make me unhappy. I also let them have a bad year."

"what."

Ren Yifan laughed loudly and said: "Don't tell me, I really had such an idea before, since they didn't care about me, then I tossed them hard, so I was a jerk a few years ago, and I did a lot of bad things. But since I got to know Mr. Lu and Zhong Bai, I understand why I should torment myself just to get revenge on them, you say, right?"

"Correct."

Both Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai nodded in agreement.

"But today I am very happy. Since I was seven years old, I am so happy during Chinese New Year for the first time, because I have three good friends drinking with me, and there are people who can spend New Year's Eve with me, so I am really grateful you."

As he spoke, Ren Yifan couldn't help sobbing.

Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai drank another bottle of beer with Ren Yifan, and they left together when they saw that the time was almost up.

There were only Zhou Chen and Ren Yifan left in the room, Ren Yifan suddenly shook his head and was shocked.

"Clean up, shall we be at home tonight, or go out to have fun?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's Chinese New Year, if you don't want to go out to play, just stay at home."

The two of them simply cleaned up, and it took 10 minutes, and then they lay down on the sofa together.

"Zhou Chen, I complained so much just now, and you have been listening to me all the time, don't you have anything to complain about?"

"To be honest, I really don't have one. The main thing is to get used to it."

He has already passed the time when he blamed others, if Ren Yifan was not there, he might have gone to the bar at this time, and then brought back a girl who was more pleasing to the eye, and played sports together for the New Year.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Ren Yifan's cell phone kept ringing, every time he hung up impatiently, but it still rang after hanging up.

"Go back, no matter why your father asked you to go back, at least it can show that he still remembers you as the eldest son."

Ren Yifan said disdainfully: "He asked me to go back because he wanted me to act with him, a good family reunion show."

"Then you can act with him, brother, take it easy and bear with it for a few more years. When you graduate and can make money by yourself, you don't need to look at his face anymore."

Zhou Chen's words silenced Ren Yifan, yes, he also understands his own situation, and he also wants to muster up the courage to say that they don't need their harsh words.

But he couldn't do it. If he really severed the relationship with his parents, how could he have such a leisurely life now.

In the end, Ren Yifan still decided to go back. Zhou Chen knew that it wasn't his persuasion that worked, but Ren Yifan himself wanted to go back.

Even if he couldn't see any hope, he still wanted to pray for the slightest trace of family affection.

After Ren Yifan left, Zhou Chen opened the windows of the living room and kitchen for ventilation, while he went into the bedroom, turned on his laptop, and prepared to watch a movie.

Around ten o'clock, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Zhou Chen was taken aback, thinking it was Ren Yifan who had returned.

It's just that when he opened the door, his expression became dull in an instant.

Lin Luoxue asked with a dimpled smile, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Zhou Chen came back to his senses in an instant, and hugged Lin Luoxue. Lin Luoxue was suddenly picked up. She was startled at first, but soon let Zhou Chen hold her. At the same time, she also stretched out her arms to hug Zhou Chen s head.

He hugged Lin Luoxue several times before putting her down, but before Lin Luoxue could speak, Zhou Chen kissed her.

After 2 minutes, the mouths of the two separated. Lin Luoxue still had a smiling face, but it was a little more coquettish.

"Looking at your reaction, you should be really happy."

Zhou Chen said softly: "Yes, I'm really happy from the bottom of my heart. I'm so happy. You really gave me a big surprise."

The moment he saw Lin Luoxue just now, he couldn't help feeling a strong emotion. This girl was able to travel hundreds of kilometers to come to him on New Year's Eve, which was warmer than any love words. people's hearts.

"It's cold outside, don't you want me to stay outside all the time?"

"Happy to forget."

With one arm around Lin Luoxue, Zhou Chen carried Lin Luoxue's suitcase into the house with the other.

Walking into the living room, Lin Luoxue sniffed.

"It smells like alcohol. Did you drink tonight?"

Zhou Chen said: "Lu Qiaochuan and the others are here in the afternoon. We drank all afternoon, and they only walked for three or four hours."

Lin Luoxue smiled and said: "It seems that you two get along very well recently, you still drink together on New Year's Eve, and you discuss in the group every day, with thousands of messages every day, I don't know if you are tired .”

"Haha, it's okay, Ren Yifan and Yu Hao can say it best."

Zhou Chen laughed, their game group, in the beginning, was mainly about discussing games, but gradually, it turned into bragging, chatting from morning to night, and from night to early morning, anyway There is always someone there.

"But why did you come here suddenly, and you didn't say hello to me in advance, so I can pick you up. It's very dangerous at night, aren't you too courageous?"

I was happy just now, but now I have calmed down, even seeing that Lin Luoxue is safe and sound, I still feel a little scared.

Lin Luoxue enjoyed Zhou Chen's care very much, and said softly: "I just want to give you a surprise. Seeing that you are happy like a child just now, I am also very satisfied."

She is similar to Ren Yifan in that she longs for family affection, so when she meets someone who cares about her, she will try her best to repay them.

"You are so silly and cute."

If before this, Lin Luoxue and He Feifei's status in his heart was slightly lower than Lin Luoxue's by two points, then at this moment, Lin Luoxue's status in his mind suddenly surpassed that of Lin Luoxue's. He Feifei.
