If I ask you to take a photo of food, you turn it into a love documentary?

The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.

In the summer in Shanghai, in an old and dilapidated rental house.

A 22-year-old young man with handsome features and good looks sat in front of a computer, with only a fan blowing next to him.

The young man's name is Qin Shuyang, who is now concentrating on editing the food materials he has filmed, making food videos, and promoting his restaurant.

That's right, Qin Shuyang is now the owner of a restaurant and started his own business.

But in fact, Qin Shuyang did not graduate from a professional cooking school, but a college student who graduated from the directing department of Shanghai Drama Academy.

Originally, he studied directing because directors have various privileges and feel much better than being an actor.

However, as a young man from a small city, who would promote a person who has no connections, no money, and only good looks?

So Qin Shuyang was unemployed after graduation.

This made Qin Shuyang regret not choosing to be an actor.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Qin Shuyang obtained the food promotion system half a month ago.

As long as Qin Shuyang promotes food and gets good reviews, he can get good review points.

Good review points can unlock various dishes and props.

The function of the system is very simple and easy to understand.

Now short videos are so popular, making short videos can also be regarded as a way of promotion.

As a top student in the directing department, how difficult is it to make food videos?

It's completely my old business!

In the past half month, Qin Shuyang has been busy with a series of procedures for the opening of the restaurant, and has also been busy shooting video materials.

During this period, the required materials have been shot, and the next step is editing.

As a top student in the directing department, Qin Shuyang is still very confident in his ability to edit videos and direct.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Qin Shuyang edited the video and chose to publish the work under his Douyin account [No Worry Restaurant].

Qin Shuyang didn't feel sleepy when editing the video, but now that he was done with work, he couldn't help yawning.

"It's late, it's time to go to bed."

After turning off the computer, Qin Shuyang went to wash up and go to bed.

However, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, for many people who can't sleep, it is the time to enjoy peace and freedom.

Especially for 996 workers.

Even many workers have just got off work.

In a single apartment in Shanghai, a female white-collar worker with delicate makeup but a tired face turned on the lights in the apartment.

The girl's name is Chen Xinbei, 28 years old, an operation manager of an online store, and she just got off work.

520 has just passed, and 618 is coming soon.

As an operation manager of an online store, overtime is the norm in recent times.

Put on slippers, close the door, Chen Xinbei threw her bag on the coffee table, dragged her tired body into the bathroom, and began to remove makeup and wash up.

After washing up, Chen Xinbei lay on the bed, holding her phone and watching short videos, thinking about relaxing.

Busy from morning till night every day, if you fall asleep and wake up to work again, such a life is really too frustrating.

Late-night Douyin often reveals people's sadness. While scrolling, Chen Xinbei came across an emotional copywriting video.

A sad BGM sounded in the video, and the copywriting was: [People who don't turn back until they hit the south wall, have they turned back now? ]

In the past 28 years of life, Chen Xinbei naturally did some things that she didn't turn back until she hit the south wall, so watching this video, she immediately felt a soul-touching sadness.

Chen Xinbei clicked on the comment area and looked at it, trying to find comments left by people who had the same experience as herself.

Chen Xinbei swiped away because she didn't see any comments with similar experiences as herself.

After scrolling through a few more emotional copywriting videos, Chen Xinbei came across a video with an account ID called [No Worries Restaurant].

The beginning of the video was also full of sad BGM.

The background of the screen was black, and then a text appeared: [Those seemingly uneventful days will suddenly make people see the meaning of persistence one day. ]

This text touched Chen Xinbei, so she didn't rush to swipe away.

After the text ended, a bright fish tank appeared in the video.

There was a black fish in the fish tank.

In addition, there was not even a pebble decoration in the fish tank.

There was only one black fish in the huge fish tank, which looked very lonely.

Then, a white hand appeared above the fish tank.

This was naturally Qin Shuyang

's hand.

Qin Shuyang did not show his face in the video.

When editing, everything related to Qin Shuyang's face was edited out, and at most his figure was seen.

Qin Shuyang's hand sprinkled some feed into the fish tank.

The feed sank into the water.

As a result, the black fish not only did not eat the feed, but avoided the feed, and seemed to be anorexic.

At this time, a text appeared next to the fish: [It is said that fish only have a memory of seven seconds, but sadness seems to be more than seven seconds. ]

[Rejecting food, is it because you are in a cage, have no friends, are lonely, and unhappy? ]

Seeing this, Chen Xinbei immediately felt the same way.

Thinking of the fact that from morning to night, apart from going to work, the people she deals with every day are not colleagues in the company. It seems that it is really difficult to find friends to play with in daily life.

Chen Xinbei graduated from Fudan University. Logically, she is in Shanghai, so she should have many classmates.

But the classmates who have a good relationship are either married or have a partner.

It is no longer the relationship that we could call each other at any time when we just graduated.

The Magic City is very prosperous, and the rented apartment is also very exquisitely decorated.

But compared with the huge fish tank in the video, isn't it just an exquisite cage?

Maybe I will feel a little happier on the day when I get my salary.

"Even fish know that being trapped in one place is unhappy, but people can't get rid of it."

As a top student who graduated from Fudan University, Chen Xinbei had many dreams before graduation.

After graduation, she was beaten by reality.

I want to go on a trip at any time, but my wallet doesn't allow it.

Without money, how can I pursue poetry and the distance?

When Chen Xinbei was sighing, an accelerated clock appeared on the video screen, and the time in the video came to the next day.

The image of the black fish appeared on the screen again.

At this time, the black fish sank into the fish tank and didn't move much.

In addition to the sad BUM, the sadness of the black fish can be felt across the screen.

Qin Shuyang's hands appeared in the video again, and he put another black fish in the fish tank.

In the video, another paragraph of text appeared: [If you have a companion, will life become happier? ]

[I hope that with the arrival of 'Xiao Mo', 'Xiao Ji' can be happier. ]

Xiao Ji is the original black fish, and Xiao Mo is the new black fish. The names add up to loneliness.

"Even the name is so sad."

Chen Xinbei couldn't help talking to herself, feeling touched.

The new Xiao Mo seemed to be more familiar. After entering the water, he came to Xiao Ji's side, as if to say hello to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji seemed to hate the familiar Xiao Mo, so he turned his head and pointed his tail at Xiao Mo, looking like a stranger.

The text appeared again in the video: [I am obviously very lonely and sad. I eat and can't sleep. I envy others who can be in groups. ]

[Why do you always choose to distance yourself when it's your turn? 】

[Is one person really better than two people? 】

Watching this in the video, Chen Xinbei fell silent again, and her thoughts instantly fell into melancholy.

"Two people should be better than one person, but... where can I find the right person?"

As a 28-year-old girl, Chen Xinbei is actually facing a lot of pressure to get married.

But work is so busy every day that there is no time to fall in love at all.

Sometimes walking on the street, seeing other couples in love, Chen Xinbei is very envious.

Chen Xinbei looks good, and there are many people around her pursuing her.

A boy with good conditions.

Chen Xinbei has thought about trying to accept a new relationship.

But when it is Chen Xinbei's turn to try to fall in love, she will think of the tragic failure of the last relationship from time to time, which makes Chen Xinbei afraid of love.

So Chen Xinbei obviously feels very lonely, and as she gets older, she becomes more and more anxious.

But I don't know why I choose to resist.

At this moment, Xiao Ji in the fish tank made Chen Xinbei feel like she was herself. She knew that two people would be better together, but she chose to refuse.

She was lonely, but she liked to be stubborn.
