Chapter 1
Night is a haven of relaxation and a paradise of indulgence.Here, neon lights are shining, singing and dancing are peaceful, in the low-key and luxurious entertainment world, some people sing loudly, some people clink glasses and drink, some people dance lingeringly...

Lin Miao couldn't take it any longer after spending a whole night socializing with a smiling face. She sneaked out from the crack of the door while no one was paying attention. The turbidity inside is much better, and the sound insulation effect is very good, the wolf howling of a certain boss is blocked in the door.

Lin Miao felt upset and wanted to smoke, but the bag was still in the box. She subconsciously touched the pocket of the windbreaker, and there was a cigarette, but she forgot when it was there.Lin Miao took the tip of her nose and sniffed it, frowning. It wasn't the menthol she smoked occasionally, and she couldn't see what brand it was, but she couldn't help asking Waiter who was passing by for a light.

She leaned against the wall and inhaled lightly, but she didn't expect the smell to be too strong, and she was choked immediately, and was irritated from the tip of her nose to her throat. Tears came out in an instant, and she kept coughing non-stop.

Lin Miao, why are you so useless even smoking a cigarette?Looking at the shining sparks at her fingertips, she laughed while crying, her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the half-burned cigarette fell to the ground.She wanted to bend down to pick it up, when the door opened, and a tall, fat, middle-aged man came out. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaolin, I've been speaking well for you, but you actually hid. Mr. Zhao is looking for you, and you will have to punish yourself with three cups later!" The man said as he was about to put her shoulders on her shoulders.

Lin Miao's eyes quickly bent. At this moment, she couldn't tell that she was suffering just now. She avoided the man's hand with a smile, and skillfully pushed him back into the box. Hiding, but just coming out to order people to drink, I can drink as many glasses as I want, anyway, please take care of me..."

Her voice disappeared behind the soundproof door, and the feasting and feasting were also locked inside.

From a distance, someone watched all this with cold eyes.

He has an appointment with his friends here. There are many entertainment programs in this kind of place. Different places have different channels, and the entertainment orientation is different. The security work is excellent, and there is never a shortage of guests who are willing to spend money on happiness.

When he came here after the meeting, it was already very late, and he was impatient with people following him, so he came in by himself.But the moment he passed by across the waterside pavilion and saw her, he thought he had misunderstood the wrong person. Was it her who was puffing up the clouds?It didn't feel like such a coincidence, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

But the drunken "Xiao Lin" cut through the air, letting him know that this "she" was indeed Lin Miao.When he first knew that she had heard this name often, he was not unfamiliar with it, but what impressed him most was the way he saw her for the first time, obviously it was such a long time ago.

"First time meeting, hello, my name is Lin Miao." The girl with crooked eyebrows and ponytails looked like a high school student, and actually called him "you" respectfully, he was only a few years older than her.Later, she also came to play at home a few times, but every time she talked and laughed loudly, she became bored when she saw him. In the end, he became busier and busier, so she didn't see him much... Later, too much happened. With too many things, his mind gradually faded, and he didn't let himself pay attention any more.

How did Lin Miao come to such a place?In the middle of the night, serious girls shouldn't do this.

Someone came up quickly from behind and smiled slightly in front of him: "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry, I didn't greet you well. Your private room is on the other side."

"It's okay, I won't let anyone lead the way." He pursed his lips and said, the light in his eyes blended with the night, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

At midnight, the wind was cold and the night was getting darker.

Susan asked the driver to stop, but Lin Miao couldn't say a word. As soon as she opened the door, she ran to the side of the road, then squatted on the ground and vomited loudly. Susan was worried, so she gathered her coat and got out of the car to see her. She smelled the smell of alcohol before she got close. She wrinkled her nose and handed her the tissue.

Lin Miao grabbed the tissue in front of him, said "Thank you" in a hoarse voice, and felt sick again. Finally, the alcohol in his stomach was emptied before he felt better. The wind was so dry and astringent that I didn't want to move.

Susan sighed: "At first, I blamed Old Wu for introducing me to such a young man, but now it seems that I have to thank him instead. You say you, why are you so hard? You just drink when they pour you wine? Stupid !"

Lin Miao smiled foolishly: "I won't drink it...they want you to drink it!"

"Then let them bully me, and I didn't tell you to fight." Susan said nonchalantly, "I haven't been a fool all these years, and I can handle that battle." She bent down and patted Lin Miao's back , the tone is not flattering.

After getting along for so many days, Lin Miao knew that Susan had always been soft-spoken and soft-hearted, so she didn't care: "You have an announcement tomorrow, drinking will damage your throat, and I don't need to meet people."

"Bad girl." Susan became angry, and then said to her, "Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

"No, don't turn your boudoir into a smelly nest, your fans will scold me!" Lin Miao felt much more comfortable after vomiting, stood up slowly, and even joked a few words.

Susan glared at her: "If you don't go, you won't go, who cares about you? Get back in the car, I'm so cold!"

In the end, Lin Miao went back to her residence. Before getting off the car, Susan offered to give her a day off.There are rumors in the circle that Susan has the disease of an older princess. She is contrived and has a bad temper.When Lin Miao first came into contact with her, she was in a state of agitation, but the facts proved that many rumors were not credible. Susan, she called her Sister Su, was actually very kind in private.Three people become tigers, and one mouth makes money. Many people are unwilling to discover the truth, and are often willing to take rumors as facts.Lin Miao smiled wryly.

The next day, without setting the alarm clock and being stimulated by alcohol, Lin Miao fell asleep until eleven o'clock, and was awakened by the vibration of the text message.She took a look. It was news from the bank that her salary for this month had come into the account.It's not time to pay your salary yet?She tried hard to think about what date it was today, and then remembered Sister Su's angry and anxious face last night, so she couldn't help laughing.Who is not happy to get salary in advance?Much more than what she got before...

Lin Miao was happy, and ignored her physical discomfort. Susan worked irregular hours, and as her temporary assistant, she could only follow the day and night without a vacation. This was her understanding of her for three months, so it was rare With a day off, she seized the time and did what she wanted to do.

Go back to my hometown.

By the time Lin Miao walked out of the ginseng shop, one-third of his salary had already disappeared.After more than an hour's car ride, she returned to the affiliated county-level city. This is the place where she grew up, and there are people she misses.It takes a few minutes to walk from the station to a very old community. Most of the residents are left-behind old people. The young people either go out to work, or move to the new district after getting married. They are not very willing to live here because there is no Elevators are a big problem for the elderly.

Lin Miao took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the community with two bags of supplements. The old man guarding the gate was also a resident here. He knew Lin Miao and asked cheerfully, "Are you back to see your parents again? How filial Girlfriend, my brat hasn't come back for a long time."

Lin Miao greeted the uncle with a smile.Her parents lived on the seventh floor, and a young man like Lin Miao had to breathe even walking up.It was very quiet when I entered the house, as if they were not at home.Lin Miao regained her composure, unable to tell whether she was disappointed or relaxed.She put the things on the coffee table, rolled up her sleeves, and cleaned up the inside and outside of the house. She even picked and washed the vegetables in the kitchen. Her parents haven't come back yet.

Lin Miao stood in the living room and looked around here for a week. It has been several years since she moved here, but she is still not used to this place, not because it is old, but because it is a little less warm, but what can I do?She didn't want to think about it anymore, and she had to go back by car later, tidied up a little and left again, never seeing her parents.

Lin Miao's cell phone rang when the return bus left.She took a few deep breaths, and answered: "Hello, Mom." At this time, her words were different from usual, with a soft mutter in dialect, and hooked back the third time, just like a little girl.

"Little Nan, are you home?" Mother Lin asked eagerly.

Lin Miao replied softly, "Well, I'll bring you something to replenish your health."

"What are you spending money for?" Mother Lin spoke breathlessly and anxiously, "Why did you come back and leave again? You should have a meal at home before leaving."

"I have to start work tomorrow. Next time, I will take a few more days off and come back to see you. You and Dad should pay more attention to your health."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and Lin Miao didn't speak, but her nose was sore, as if she was about to cry if she spoke again.

"Why don't you come back, okay..." Mama Lin cried out before her, "We know you are suffering, and we didn't blame you, but your father's tone was a bit aggressive, but he still loves you , come back, huh?"

Lin Miao covered her mouth and couldn't say a word. The person sitting next door gave her a different look, and she held back her emotions.

"Okay, I'll think about it again." In the end, she only said these few words.Actually, I can't figure it out, they don't blame her, but she blames herself, she messed up everything that was good, how can she come back?

Back at the residence at night, Lin Miao was in a flustered mood and didn't do anything. She fell on the bed after taking a shower, and fell asleep in a daze, but she didn't sleep well.

"Xiaonan, your dad and I plan to buy a house in the city. After you graduate, you will have no place to live. In the future, when you get married and have a home, we will move here and live near you. If you have time, you can go home and have a sip of hot soup.”

"Miaomiao, don't underestimate this bunch of house keys. Your mother and I have worked hard all our lives, and it's pretty good to be able to do this. Take it, you're about to graduate, and this is a graduation gift from your parents."

"I beg you, she is still young, young and ignorant, there must be a misunderstanding, can you check again, don't sue her, she will be ruined!"

"Fuck off, what are you? Next kneel down and pay a little money and just think about it? Your daughter is ruined? What about my daughter? Let me tell you, this is not enough! I won't give up!"

"No, please, let me kowtow to you..."

"No, don't!" Lin Miao yelled, and suddenly woke up and sat up, sweating profusely all over her body in the cold.Soon she fell down on the bed again. She opened her eyes and looked at the mottled ceiling. After a while, she realized that she was dreaming again.From the window came the ambiguous voice of "babbling" from the next door, and she smiled silently. The sound insulation of this place is not as good as a door of a private box.But it's much more airy than the basement, and the rent is affordable, so there's nothing to complain about.

Before falling asleep again, Lin Miao thought, if only she could stop dreaming, she would be willing to live even worse.

Then the weather got colder and colder. If it wasn't for work, Lin Miao didn't want to walk outside, so she had to wrap herself up like a zongzi.What she admired was that in such a cold weather, Sister Su actually wore a long dress with diamonds and off-the-shoulder to attend a new season's jewelry presentation!

Under the spotlight, Susan elegantly wrote her name on the signature wall, and then turned her head just right to give the photographer a great side profile, and the backless design of the long dress also showed her good figure in front of everyone.

When Susan came down, Lin Miao immediately put the prepared shawl on her body, and kept asking her if she was cold. Susan couldn't help laughing, and pointed her forehead to teach: "It's only ten degrees, why is it cold? When I was filming, I even tried soaking in water at minus ten degrees."

Lin Miao muttered: "What, it's already very cold at ten degrees, it's really not easy to get along in any job."

Susan stared at her resentfully, remembering that there was a reception later, she needed to touch up her makeup, and she was always careful about her makeup outside.The organizers of the conference have prepared a special dressing room. From time to time, they will meet acquaintances inside and outside the circle on the road. Susan copes with it freely and asks Lin Miao to follow suit, but she also encounters unpleasant things.

"Did you see that Susan just now? Look at her concave shape, she can't wait to stick her breasts in front of the camera."

"Shh, keep your voice down..."

"What are you afraid of? She's old and outdated, so she can only fight like this. What Susan, I heard that her real name is Su Hao, and she changed her English name, so it's easy to hear... "

"I heard that a new jewelry endorsement contract is coming out, does she want it?"

"Ten years ago, maybe it was still hers. Now, it depends on your ability."

Lin Miao hugged Susan's clothes and makeup case, raised her eyes to glance at her icy side face, and subconsciously wanted to go out to argue, but was stopped by Susan, but she went out by herself, standing face to face behind the huge sunflower Two people who speak ill of others.It turned out that the two new starlets who have recently been promoted have filmed a youth idol drama that is currently on the air.The two of them didn't seem to have expected to meet the Lord by such a coincidence, and they choked back what they had been confident about, but they didn't apologize.

Susan smiled at them in a very gracious manner: "I heard that you also came out of the S-drama, are you brought by Mr. Gong?"

The two of them were somewhat timid: "It's Teacher Xu."

"I've also taken his class, and it's very good. I've also watched your new play, and I got a good script." Susan was talking to them as an amiable senior, "But if you want to accept an endorsement, your body I need to change my clothes quickly, they are all from last season, the bosses are very picky, I have a new one in the car, do you want to give you a set?"

"No, no need, I'm sorry, we'll excuse you first." The two ran away with ugly faces.

Lin Miao was still in a daze. She thought Susan would go crazy. Susan felt that she liked this silly girl more and more, patted her on the shoulder, and continued to walk towards the dressing room.

Lin Miao guessed Susan's mood and asked, "Sister Su, aren't you angry?"

"Angry." Susan rolled her eyes, "How can you not be angry when people say bad things? But it's a mediocrity not to be jealous, so I don't think there's anything wrong when I think about it. They are much gentler than many people. .”

Lin Miao wanted to say something else, but heard her say again: "I, when I see them, I think of my former self, and everyone is ignorant, thinking that I can walk sideways if I am popular. Only when I hit a wall did I realize that I was wrong. But it's too late. So they have suffered, and I don't need to take action. People have to suffer to understand." Those words still hurt Susan. Lin Miao knew it, but felt that she was stupid and didn't know how to comfort others. I also empathize with what she said, in fact, everyone has suffering in their hearts.Fortunately, Susan didn't seem to need her comfort, and quickly put on her makeup and walked in front of others.

Lin Miao has not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and she is still ignorant about the operation of some circles. However, Susan has arranged a lot of announcements recently, and the coverage rate is naturally high. Her body can't take it anymore, her appetite is not good, and she sometimes vomits. .When she was about to swallow the third painkiller, Lin Miao refused to obey her and insisted on sending her to see a doctor. Susan was not willing to listen, and even scolded her. In the end, Brother Shan, the manager, saw that something was wrong with Susan, so he temporarily canceled an event and sent Susan to the emergency room.

Going to a hospital is not a good thing, especially for a celebrity, of course the less people know about it the better, Brother Shan instructed the driver to go to a hospital that is also well-known in the city, but it is a bit far away from them.Seeing Lin Miao's doubts, Brother Shan explained, "I'm afraid paparazzi will harass her. There are doctors I know there who will help keep it secret." I don't know what Susan's problem is, so I have to be cautious.
