Rose Manor

Shen Jianian was in a hurry and entered the elevator before the woman knocked on the door next door.

At 6:45, Shen Jia Nian arrived at the hot pot restaurant she had made an appointment with Zhao Shunyi. I made a reservation online in advance, so I didn't have to wait for a table. I was led directly into the box by the waiter.

Zhao Shunyi has a special status and is not suitable to sit in the hall to dine.

At seven o'clock, Zhao Shunyi arrived at the right time and rushed in. He put on a hat, a mask, sunglasses, and a scarf, covering himself from head to toe without revealing anything at all.

"When did you arrive?" Zhao Shunyi gasped and took off his "equipment", "I'm not late, am I?"

Shen Jianian pulled out a chair for her and said with a smile, "No, it's exactly seven o'clock."

Zhao Shunyi sat down on the chair, his face flushed with heat: "I drove here by myself, but the navigation guide was wrong, so I went around in a circle to find it."

Shen Jianian poured her a glass of pickled plum juice, and she drank it in one breath: "Let's order."

The waiter brought the menu, and Zhao Shunyi rolled up the sleeves of his sweater and ordered everything he wanted to eat. He didn't have the consciousness to diet to stay in shape as a female star.

Shen Jianian looked at the dishes she ordered. They had similar tastes: "That's it. We won't order more if it's not enough."

The waiter went out, and there were only two of them in the box. Zhao Shunyi took out a hair tie from her bag and tied up her hair. She went bare-faced today just for the convenience of eating hot pot, so as not to sweat and take off her makeup.

"The movie "Hit Melody" is coming out on Valentine's Day, did you know?" Zhao Shunyi finished tying her hair and poured herself a glass of sour plum juice.

"I saw the group message."

The director liked the main creative staff in the group, reminding them to spare their schedules and to do preliminary publicity for the movie. Shen Jia Nian is just a guest star, with very few scenes and does not need to participate in publicity work.

Zhao Shunyi put down the cup, swallowed the pickled plum juice in his mouth, and revealed an inside message to her: "I heard my agent talking today, Director Wu Heng thinks you have a good image and temperament, and wants to take you to participate in the show, maybe It can attract a wave of fans and increase the popularity of the movie. That perverted investor put pressure on him. Not to mention taking you to participate in the show, your name is not even mentioned." As he said that, Zhao Shunyi couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and curl his lips. "That old pervert is quite vindictive."

The pervert investor refers to Boss Dong who had Shen Jia Nian fail to follow the unspoken rules and was doused with wine by her instead.

Boss Dong wanted to remove Shen Jianian at that time and let her learn the consequences of going against him. Later, after much persuasion, he considered that it would be too expensive to replace the actor, and the male lead Gu Chongli had already joined another team and there was no time to come back for reshoots. Boss Dong had to compromise and retain Shen Jiannian's role in the movie.

But Boss Dong announced that no crew member would be allowed to use Shen Jia Nian anymore, which was a disguised form of banning her.

Fortunately, Shen Jia Nian is not interested in the entertainment industry, so it will have no impact on her future development.

When mentioning this, Zhao Shunyi felt regretful and said with her chin in her hands: "My agent also mentioned you and said that you are the one who is missing in the industry. You will definitely be popular in my company."

Shen Jia Nian always wanted to laugh when he heard her talk. Maybe she had lost her luster as a female star and was essentially a cheerful person: "Which one am I?"

"I can't tell." Zhao Shunyi looked her up and down and made a general summary, "She has a pretty face and a very noble and cold temperament. The contrast is too strong and she is very mysterious. If she is the only one in the circle, she will become popular sooner or later."

"Thank you for your kind words." Shen Jianian almost choked with laughter.

Zhao Shunyi was annoyed: "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious. If you are willing to join the entertainment industry, our company can still have a fight with that boss Dong. I really think that the entertainment industry belongs to his family, and he can cover the sky with one hand." ?”

The waiter came in with a cart and brought out all the ordered dishes. The two of them chatted while eating.

Zhao Shunyi was a talker and couldn't stop talking. He told Shen Jia Nian a lot of things in the entertainment industry, and finally turned to Gu Chongli: "We also chatted on WeChat today, and he knew that I was coming to have hot pot with you. He was so jealous. He was filming a costume drama, and it was 7 or 8 degrees below zero, so he jumped into the lake several times, haha, it was so miserable."

After a pause, she bit her chopsticks and looked at Shen Jianian: "Has Gu Chongli contacted you?"

"I sent a lot of messages before, but I didn't reply because I had something to do. It has stopped during this period." Shen Jianian told the truth.

During that time, she was in Yunding Palace, and her cell phone was taken away by Fu Jichen. During this period, Gu Chongli sent her messages almost every day, telling her about things that happened on the set, but she didn't reply to any of them. Over time, he stopped.

Zhao Shunyi: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot what you were busy with at the end of August and the beginning of September. You didn't reply to the messages I sent you. I was worried that something would happen to you. After a long time, I felt relieved after you replied to the message."

Shen Jia Nian chewed the squid, lowered his eyes, and said covertly: "I encountered a small problem."

It's not that she doesn't trust Zhao Shunyi, it's that the things between her and Fu Jichen are too difficult to explain. She can't explain it clearly in a few words, and she often feels like it's illusory.

Zhao Shunyi thought it was inconvenient for her to tell, so he didn't ask further.

The two of them ate until nine o'clock before leaving, and went shopping nearby. There was a Christmas atmosphere everywhere, with shining Christmas trees, Santa Claus hanging on the wall, and Christmas songs floating from nowhere, making them happy. Hi, lively and lively.

"The year has passed so quickly, and it's almost New Year's Day." Zhao Shunyi opened his arms on the street, looked up to the sky and sighed, "What have I done this year, why do I feel like I have done nothing."

Shen Jianian looked at her, but what he was thinking about was that she had experienced a lot this year, especially in the past few months, her life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

After Zhao Shunyi sighed, he immediately resurrected with full health and asked Shen Jianian with great interest: "How do you plan to celebrate the New Year?"

Shen Jianian said that he was spending it with his friends to celebrate his birthday. "When is your birthday?" Zhao Shunyi's eyes lit up.

"November 12."

"What a coincidence!"

Shen Jianian looked surprised: "Is this your birthday too?"

"That's not true." Zhao Shunyi said with a smile, "I mean it just coincides with the New Year's Eve."

Shen Jianian's expression was slightly speechless.

Zhao Shunyi turned around and continued to smile: "Can I come with you?"

Shen Jianian welcomed her. Anyway, there were only two of her and Bai Changxia. Bai Changxia was an outgoing person and would not get along with Zhao Shunyi. Maybe they could become friends.

Zhao Shunyi gave her a hug: "Then it's settled."

In order to find the way in advance, Zhao Shunyi insisted on driving Shen Jia Nian home, but the navigation gave him the wrong direction again and took a detour to an unfamiliar road. He only arrived at the community where Shen Jia Nian lived at 10:30.

Before parting, Shen Jianian sincerely advised her: "Don't drive by yourself in the future."

Zhao Shunyi sat in the driver's seat and nodded honestly, then turned the car and left.

Shen Jia Nian found the cat food he had bought before from his bag, went to the flower bed to feed the cat, and walked briskly home.

The elevator stopped on the 20th floor, and the woman who had met once came in, holding a plate of sweet Western pastries in her hand. She was still dressed as before, with a long black skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and stiletto heels. Her black hair was smooth, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she smelled of bergamot.

"What a coincidence." Seeing Shen Jianian, the woman smiled and took the initiative to explain, "I came to see your neighbor at six o'clock. He is not at home. Come here now to try your luck."

Shen Jianian smiled and said casually: "She is very busy at work."

"Did he tell you?"

"It should count."

"Didn't you say you've never seen him before?" The woman's eyes were strange.

Shen Jia Nian was stunned, wondering if it was her misunderstanding. The other person seemed to suddenly show a hint of hostility towards her, and she suddenly lost the desire to continue talking.

When the elevator reached the twenty-sixth floor, the woman walked out first in high heels. Without even looking at Shen Jianian, she ran straight to the door and raised her hand to knock lightly.

Shen Jia Nian walked slowly to the door of his house, fumbled in his bag for a while, found the key and inserted it into the keyhole. After turning it twice, the door opened.

There was still no response from the next door, and Shen Jianian was used to it.

The woman was not used to it, and was rejected twice in a row. She was a little irritated, and turned to Shen Jianian, who was about to enter the house, and asked: "What time does your neighbor usually get off work?"

The last time she met the man in the elevator was after ten o'clock, and now it was already after ten-thirty. There was no way he hadn't come back yet.

"I don't know." Shen Jianian didn't lie. She still hadn't figured out the schedule of her neighbor's aunt.

"Then..." the woman frowned and asked awkwardly, "You should know whether he lives alone or with his girlfriend, right?"

She made a special observation last time and found that the man was not wearing a wedding ring. It was unclear whether he had a girlfriend or not.

girlfriend?

Shen Jia Nian went through these three words in his mind. He didn't know if there was something wrong with him or with this woman. Shen Jia Nian pointed to the closed gray door next door with an expression that was incredible: "My neighbor is not an aunt. ?"

The woman's expression was even more bizarre than hers: "How is that possible? I saw a man with my own eyes... No, have you seen your neighbor before?"

Shen Jianian: "No."

The woman rolled her eyes secretly. It had never been so difficult to communicate with anyone. She suspected that there was something wrong with this girl's mind: "Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Shen Jia Nian entered the room in a daze, locked the door, and leaned against the door panel to think about the woman's words.

She couldn't be mistaken, the woman said, she saw a man with her own eyes.

The person living next door to her is not an aunt, but a man? !

This is a bit scary.
