under the spotlight

Chapter 178 Night

After Lu Beicen took a shower, Wen Mengran held up his phone and shook it, with a disappointed expression on his face: "I can't take pictures of the starry sky tonight, you guys are really lazy."

Lu Beicen couldn't help but smile: "You didn't join in the excitement, so take a shower and go to bed early, there are still a few days, enough for you to be lively."

Wen Mengran shook her head: "I can't sleep. I came two days early and my head is sunken. Let's talk."

"Say what you want, just say what you want!" Lu Beicen said while applying skin care products.

The smile on Wen Mengran's face faded, and she pursed her lips again before saying, "I seem to be falling out of love again."

Lu Beicen paused, raised his head to look at Wen Mengran, saw that her face was full of regret, it didn't look like there was any sadness of a broken love, and couldn't help laughing: "I see your expression , it seems that the other party has lost love, not you, tell me, what's going on?"

"He's going abroad, but I don't want to, so..."

Now Lu Beicen really heard a bit of reluctance from Wen Mengran's tone, so he asked casually, "Could it be that he won't come back after going out?"

"Maybe, his family probably wants him to settle abroad, but I, neither myself nor my family, have never planned this. With my grades back then, it is impossible for me to be admitted to any top university in China. If I want to go out, I will change my course at that time, but I am reluctant, and my parents and family members don't want me to be a girl and go far away."

"Now let me suddenly change the trajectory of my life for a relationship that I just started. I don't seem to have the courage. What do you think I should do?"

Listening to Wen Mengran's sudden question, Lu Beicen didn't know how to answer, but just looked at her in silence.

Fortunately, Wen Mengran didn't actually want an answer from Lu Beicen. After asking, he leaned back on the sofa and said softly: "I saw Teacher Lin like that today, and I feel more emotional. If she is not alone Here alone, with no support at all, as for being bullied to this extent?"

"You said that if this happened to you and me, I'm afraid those two people would not be safe if they didn't go in. But when this happened to her, she was almost driven crazy, but she could only torture herself , whoever hurt her was unscathed."

"It is said that only by becoming a strong person can you not be bullied, but do you think Mr. Lin is not a strong person in our industry? But what's the use? Fortunately, the leaders are sitting upright , or you will really be bullied to death."

"You said that if I left my parents and relatives and went to a completely unfamiliar foreign country because of a man, and said it was because of love, but all love will eventually return to family affection, then wouldn't I be throwing everything at the bottom?"

Lu Beicen's eyes widened the more he heard it, and he couldn't help applauding Wen Mengran's infinite reverie and ability to connect with himself, but you couldn't tell which sentence she said was wrong, so he licked his lips, Lu Beicen couldn't help but said: "I said that your imagination is too rich, and all these can be connected. I don't want to admire you!"

Wen Mengran was almost annoyed by Lu Beicen's words: "You mean I'm far-fetched? I'm serious with you, are you making fun of me?"

"No, I'm just stating a fact. You have been fighting with yourself for a long time, and you suddenly found an excellent excuse. Don't feel sorry for it. But if you think so, you can only explain one thing, you You may not have much love for this man, so you will think more pessimistically." Lu Beicen quickly explained.

"Nonsense, if I don't pay attention, do I have to think about it over and over again?"

"But this is not in line with your optimistic and cheerful personality. With a personality like yours, if you fall in love, you should first look forward to a bright future instead of thinking about things that belong to family love first? Could it be that you are being rejected? Split up?"

Wen Mengran raised her hand and rubbed her hair, but she didn't make any more noise, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Seeing this, Lu Beicen got up to boil water to blow his hair, and when he came back, he made another cup of tea, looked at Wen Mengran and said, "Do you want to drink tea, will it make you sleepless at night?"

"I don't want it anymore, give me a bottle of mineral water."

Lu Bei Cen Yiyan came over with mineral water, Wen Mengran took the water, took a gulp, and then said again: "Wen Qing will come over tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lu Beicen choked on the tea he drank into his mouth. After finally calming down a violent cough, he asked, "Is he here on a business trip?"

Wen Mengran looked at Lu Beicen's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing: "This hotel is not under his control, he came here for you, he won't let me tell you, but I think if I don't tell Your life may be in danger tomorrow, so you should prepare early."

"What am I going to prepare? I have class tomorrow, and even if I don't have class, I have to accompany Teacher Lin." Lu Beicen felt his scalp start to sweat.

Wen Mengran squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Beicen: "By the way, what do you think of him? I don't think you seem to repel him from approaching you! If I hadn't told you those things at the beginning, would you have Already accepted him?"

Lu Beicen subconsciously shook his head: "Seriously speaking, it shouldn't be possible..."

Taking advantage of the time to drink water, Lu Beicen sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "I seem to wrap myself a bit tightly, especially when facing suitors. Now, just let go, I ran into that person, and then, what do you think I will think at this time?"

Wen Mengran listened to Lu Beicen's vague self-analysis, couldn't help sitting up straight, and looked at her like an alien: "Why do I feel that you seem to be talking about others, how can you analyze your own psychology well?" So logical? Can't you be impulsive?"

Lu Beicen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Haven't I already been impulsive? I think I did countless psychological constructions for myself back then, and what happened?"

"Then how do you fall in love like this? You don't plan to be single, do you? By the way, who wouldn't be your first love?"

Lu Beicen shook his head and said frankly: "No, I actually had a crush on a senior classmate when I was in junior high school, but do you know how I felt at that time? Looking at that person is like looking at the moon in the sky Same, and I'm not even a monkey."

"You are exaggerating a bit. You are a good-looking student. You are beautiful, and your family conditions are good. It is not too much to say that you are Chang'e in the moon. How about a monkey?" Wen Mengran said with a face of disapproval .

Lu Beicen suddenly fell silent. Maybe she got along too speculatively with Wen Mengran. She had already forgotten that this person didn't know her past life trajectory at all, but she really didn't want to be like Mrs. Xianglin, always telling others about herself. How miserable my previous life was, so I was silent and introverted most of the time.

In high school it was because they were out of place, in college it was because they didn’t want to make friends, and it was also because there were four people in the same dormitory, and those three were busier than themselves, so they hardly made any friends.

Lu Beicen looked at Wen Mengran, bit his lips as if he had made some decision, and then said softly: "The family I lived in when I was a child was very poor, and my adoptive father often abused my adoptive mother and me."

Wen Mengran looked at Lu Beicen in surprise. She originally wanted to match up with her friends and cousin, but when she heard such a sudden privacy, she was so surprised that she forgot to switch her expression, and just looked at Lu in a daze. Bei Cen.

Lu Beicen smiled wryly and nodded, as if answering Wen Mengran's question, and continued: "My mother suddenly lost contact with my father after having me. At that time, they both went to college separately, and communication was not developed at that time. , all contact is by writing letters.”

"My grandfather was the first educated youth to be sent down. After returning to the city, he divorced my grandmother. That year, my grandmother was seriously ill and died suddenly. My father was taken abroad by my grandfather. There were too many accidents in the middle. He was still a child, so he didn't have time to react, so he left."

"My mother gave birth to me, and my grandmother gave me to my adoptive parents without telling my mother when she was still weak after giving birth. My adoptive parents were both laid off later, and my adoptive mother opened a small restaurant to live , My adoptive father not only does not work, but also often drinks alcohol and domestic violence, I grew up like this, do you think I am not as good as a monkey?"

Wen Mengran looked at the self-deprecating Lu Beicen, his heart was churning violently, after staring at her for a long time, he cleared his throat and said, "You...Xiaobei, I thought those people outside were just talking nonsense. , I just thought it was funny, I didn't expect it to be..."

"I didn't expect it to be true, right? But I am not my mother's illegitimate child. I am indeed my parents' biological daughter. It was just found after their reunion. My father married Ah Hao's mother when he was abroad. Later, Ah Hao's mother died in a car accident, and my father took Ah Hao back to China, and then first found my mother, and then found me, and then we became a family of four."

The room was silent for a long time. Wen Mengran tried hard to digest every word Lu Beicen said. She drank a bottle of mineral water unknowingly and turned it into an empty bottle before she stood up. She looked at Lu Beicen, His gaze was soft, as if he had reacquainted with the girl in front of him, and he said calmly: "I see, I will have a serious chat with Wen Qing, you are not suitable, you need a man like a mountain, but he is not. "

Lu Beicen put down the drained teacup and nodded with a smile: "Anyway, Xiao Ran, thank you!"

"I'm going to take a shower, go to bed early!" After Wen Mengran finished speaking, she didn't bother with this matter anymore, and went straight to the bathroom.

Because Biyun Hotel is built in the scenic spot, each room has a viewing balcony. Guests can sit alone on the wicker chairs on the balcony to watch the scenery in a daze, and it is also suitable for sitting and chatting with traveling companions.

Wei Ye and Xue Feng were sitting on the balcony at this moment, drinking and chatting with the wind in the mountains and the stars in the sky, and the fragrant peanuts were the best appetizers.

After drinking half a bottle of wine, Wei Ye turned to Lin Fei from a bunch of gossip: "Have you heard that whoever wants to be transferred to our column as the editor-in-chief."

Xue Feng paused while holding the wine glass. He expected that Lin Fei might be transferred to the feature department, but he didn't expect that she would be given the position of editor-in-chief. The feature department had two columns, two producers and two chief editors. He has been in this position for many years, and there has never been a precedent for an editor-in-chief transferred from another department, but it is quite normal to think about it the other way around, so he casually said: "This is also a consolation, but the price is a bit high."

"I think so too, but I guess there must be some people on our side who are not convinced. Anyway, she has never done a special project. Lao Huang and Chen Fang must be very upset." Wei Ye nodded.

"What's wrong with Chen Fang? I don't think it's anyone's turn."

"But she herself feels that she has old qualifications. I heard that at that time, Wang Wei was mentioned but not her. She was also dissatisfied with seven or eight."

Xue Feng showed a mocking smile: "I'm afraid she has never weighed herself. Seniority is always useful. Is this a problem that can be solved only by seniority? How many awards has Wang Wei won? Does she have any?" The key is that this person is unpopular, okay, I think she just said that she doesn't like to work with her, so there are too many columns."

"The leader doesn't seem to like her too much, but it's pretty awesome to be able to be like her, so you can't accept it."

"A woman who loses her face in order to earn some money, I don't think she should be in this business."

Wei Ye burst out laughing, raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect, Old Xue, you don't usually hum, and when your mouth hurts, it's really bad. Drink and drink!"

Zhou Ren and Wang Wei lived in the next room, and they were already lying on the bed. Hearing faint laughter from the balcony next door, Zhou Ren suddenly asked, "Wei Ye and Xue Feng are drinking?"

Wang Wei smiled and shook his head: "Yes, Xiaowen gave Wei Ye a bottle of white wine. This kid has nothing else, just a good drink. I didn't let him drink tonight, so I just asked him for it." Fate is the same."

"Didn't I see he had a beer?"

"He said that beer is used to rinse the mouth. In their hometown, they have to drink three meals a day before they are considered drunk."

"My God, what's wrong with this, do you know that there is a person named Guan in the office in Taili? It is said that he drank three drinks a day, and finally died of liver cancer."

"He's quite controlling. He just comes here for dinner every day. Isn't he chasing after Zhuang Jie? Zhuang Jie doesn't like his faults. It's fine to have a relationship with him, but the only requirement is that he stop drinking. Wei Ye was about to collapse, he said that Zhuang Jie was sincere, knowing that he would not be able to stop drinking, and making such a request to him was actually a disguised refusal."

Zhou Ren couldn't help laughing, then changed the subject and said, "How about your alley?"

"A very nice little girl. Unlike the rumors, she is down-to-earth, serious and responsible, and very talented. Why do you suddenly ask her?" Wang Wei and Zhou Ren have always had a good relationship, and they spoke honestly.

"Boss Tang agreed with Lin Fei to come to our thematic department, and even exchanged Lin Wei who came with Xiaolu from our department. In the end, Boss Qi was still very grateful, but he didn't know how long it would take to make Boss Qi scold her. He is a real bastard, and we came out for training this time, and when he saw Xiaolu on the list, he came to ask me why Xiaolu could go and he couldn't."

Wang Wei chuckled, and sighed again for some reason: "Lin Fei doesn't know if she can work on our side with peace of mind. I don't think she's very willing to be transferred here, but I'm not convinced. Those who do wrong stay well, those who do right are moved, hey..."

Zhou Ren sighed and teased: "Old Wang, your realm is not high. You have to look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation. The leader is protecting his comrades!"

"Yes, you are in a high level, sleep, and you have to get up early tomorrow." Wang Wei turned over, and snoring sounded in the room after a while.

At this time, Lin Fei was sitting on a chair on the balcony looking at the silhouette of the black distant mountains under the sky. She was not drunk at all, but wanted to leave that noisy environment as soon as possible. Her current state of mind was really out of tune with that lively scene , she felt that she would spoil everyone's interest by being there.

There was a trace of coolness in the early autumn night in the mountains, but this coolness made Lin Fei feel extraordinarily clear-headed, and began to carefully sort out the recent events. She remembered what Lu Beicen said today, and forced herself not to dig into the corners as much as possible. Analyze everything that is happening in front of you with a comprehensive perspective that a media person should have...
