under the spotlight

Chapter 56 Picture Scroll
After taking a shower and drinking a large cup of hot tea, Lu Beicen felt himself alive again.

Standing on the terrace and looking at the black lake in the distance, and the bright or dark lights along the lake, Lu Beicen suddenly realized that he was actually tired last year, but he didn't seem as tired as this year. Is it because he was tired?In four or five days, I interviewed two murder cases and watched two extreme lives.

With this question in mind, Lu Beicen decided to harass Wen Mengran on the phone.

"So reluctant to part with me? What's the matter, tell me!" Wen Mengran was obviously eating.

"What are you eating? I'm still hungry." Lu Beicen asked with a smile.

"It's not as comfortable as your eldest lady. I'm still uploading materials. I bought a bowl of noodles near the stage to eat. If you persevere today, you can sleep late tomorrow."

"You are so energetic. Why do I feel so tired that I don't want to eat any more?"

"I'm tired too, but I'm still stretching my last tendon before I die and sticking to the end."

"I'm the kind of person who feels tired in my heart, not just physically. I think it's five days, three cities, two periods of life. The pace is too fast, the ending is too miserable, and the process is too tormented, so I'm tired."

"Miss, I don't want to be so hypocritical. Why don't you be tired in this world? You are tired of eating and waiting to die. You have to bear the scolding and the guilt in your heart. Life is short, and you have seen suffering, and you have to live optimistically. Otherwise, , what do you think is the meaning of working so hard in our job?"

Lu Beicen was at a loss for words for a while, Wen Mengran continued to laugh on the phone: "Okay, dear literary young woman, it's summer now, don't feel sad about spring and autumn, hurry up and eat, ah!"

Who said that the power of the spirit is not strong, at that moment, Lu Beicen was really hungry, Wen Mengran, she is really a very nice and lovely girl, very like a beam of light, which can make people feel lost and dark in their hearts, Instantly disappeared into the invisible.

Soon, Lu Beihao delivered the meal, but this time, Jiang Zhongze knew his limits and didn't follow.

Lu Beihao looked at Lu Beicen sipping and eating the food he packed seriously, and his complexion was much better than before, so he tentatively asked: "The man just now is the one you mentioned to me before. people?"

Lu Beicen nodded while eating, and Lu Beihao suddenly felt a little suffocated. From the outside, such a man is indeed mature and attractive, and his career is not bad. A girl like his own sister is as white as paper. , of course it is hard to resist.

"Is he still looking for you?"

"No, I should have met by chance today. I heard from my colleagues that there are many people from our station living in this community."

"I think what he means is that he doesn't seem to want to let go. What are you going to do?"

Lu Beicen put down his chopsticks: "I'm going to prepare cold salad. If you don't eat it, you still don't want to leave. Your Brother Ze is still waiting for you downstairs, right?"

"He said he would go for a walk by the lake to get familiar with the environment, and he would call me when he came back."

"Why did you let him buy a house here?" Lu Beicen couldn't help but asked.

Lu Beihao shook his head quickly: "It's purely a coincidence. According to his request, this villa is suitable. Sister, don't feel burdened. Anyway, you live in yours and he lives in his. It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant!"

Lu Beicen was speechless for a moment, it was definitely irrelevant, but anyway, she always felt that it was not that simple.

"Sister, what exactly do you do with this job? Why do I feel like you are tired?" Lu Beihao quickly changed the subject.

"What else can you do as a reporter? Interview, shoot, write manuscripts..."

When Lu Beihao was finally dealt with and left, Fang Nan came.

"I'll sleep with you tonight, do you have to get up early for work tomorrow?"

Fang Nan's complexion was obviously not very good. Lu Beicen knew that she had something to say, so he shook his head: "What's wrong with you? I'm taking a day off tomorrow, so you don't have to go to work?"

Fang Nan's eyes lit up: "How many days are you taking off? I'm going to take my annual leave tomorrow. Let's go back to the river, shall we?"

Lu Beicen was very moved for a moment: "Then we have to go to bed early. I'm so tired these days. I've traveled through three cities in five days. Your manuscript hasn't come down yet? Don't you mean you're in a rush for the deadline?"

Fang Nan smiled: "Isn't that the editor-in-chief's urging, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, who cares, anyway, I applied for annual leave, and the editor-in-chief approved it."

Lu Beicen looked at Fang Nan in surprise, why did this desperate Saburo feel a little negative, thinking so in his heart, he naturally asked, "What's wrong with you, it seems like the sun is coming out from the west, you care about work so much A person with high grades is suddenly so free and easy."

Fang Nan lay down on the comfortable rattan chair in Lu Beicen's study, and said softly, "Xiao Bei, I broke up with Zhan Yunbo."

"Ah, why?" Lu Beicen guessed that it must have something to do with Zhan Yunbo. He thought it was just a quarrel between lovers, arguing or something, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Fang Nan was silent for a long time before suddenly laughing silently. Lu Beicen could see a trace of sadness from that smile.

"A while ago, you were always on the lookout, so you were busy dating your family, Zhan Yunbo?" Lu Beicen asked puzzled.

Fang Nan chuckled again: "That's how it's ridiculous. His mother was sick a while ago and was hospitalized in their hospital. I thought he was so busy that he didn't have enough time to sleep, so he went there every day to deliver meals. As a result, the last We work overtime at work on weekends, go out to eat together, meet him, and go on a blind date, do you think it’s ridiculous?”

Lu Beicen asked instinctively: "Impossible, did you misread it, or did you have some misunderstanding?"

Fang Nan shook his head: "Our editor-in-chief and my teacher saw it when they went to the bathroom. The two of them probably discussed it. They called me in the bathroom and asked me to go and see it. Who else is it?"

"Did he see you? Didn't you ask him personally? What happened to you two is different from what happened to me. It's been so many years. If he was that kind of person, how could he do so much for you?" Lu Beicen I always feel a little weird.

"That's why I suspected that what he said before were all lies to lie to me. Anyway, he told me to listen, but I just took it seriously." Fang Nan's eyes were sad, obviously very hurt, but Lu Beicen No matter what, I can't believe that such a tortuous love for many years can still be fake.

When Zhan Yunbo and Fang Nan met, they were still in college.

During the summer vacation of junior year, Fang Nan's father fell ill and was hospitalized in Xiajiang People's Hospital. Zhan Yunbo was Uncle Fang's bed doctor.

Fang Nan took care of his sick father in the ward. When he had nothing to do, he would take two books to the ward to read.

Fang Nan mentioned to Lu Beicen in the email that Zhan Yunbo said he would never forget a scene, and that kind of scene passed through Lu Beicen's mind like a nostalgic scroll.
