At the door of 2201, Ye Zhenzhen rang the doorbell.

Not long after Wang Yan left, her parents called. On the phone, she seriously criticized her parents for being overly caring and said that they would never do that again.

Her parents agreed without hesitation, but she also knew that it would be difficult to avoid it in the future. She herself also believed that her family had persecution delusions, and she also had some to a certain extent. Otherwise, in an international metropolis like Shanghai, she went in and out of busy places, and the possibility of encountering a "wolf" was actually extremely low.

But she had lived safely for nearly 30 years, and she had studied in Europe for many years, where the overall social security was not as good as that in China. She had never thought about practicing fighting, nor did she make the anti-wolf spray that appeared many times in the play. Instead, after He Minhong was secretly photographed, she suddenly became as afraid of snakes and scorpions, and soon made anti-wolf spray and carried it with her...

After talking to her parents on the phone, she thought about it and still felt that she should come to Lucy to express her sincere apology, so she came over and rang the doorbell of 2201.

After a while, Lucy opened the door and looked at Ye Zhenzhen in silence.

Ye Zhenzhen said, "I'm sorry, Lucy, I..."

"Come in and talk." Lucy made way.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Lucy with some surprise, then nodded and walked into the house.

Lucy took a glass of water and placed it in front of Ye Zhenzhen, then sat on the sofa and looked at her.

Ye Zhenzhen felt a little depressed, she let out a long breath and said, "Lucy, what I said outside before was the truth, my parents..."

"I understand." Lucy waved her hand and smiled, "I envy you for loving your parents so much. Let me tell you a story..."

Then, Lucy told her story. When she mentioned it again, Lucy burst into tears.

In fact, as long as she thought about the scene at that time, the helpless fear and despair came, and she recalled the situation back then, she couldn't help wanting to cry.

Just like when she told Wang Yan, she wanted to say it lightly, but when she really said it, she couldn't help but tear up...

As the quiet listener, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were also tearful. She sympathized with and pitied Lucy's experience.

After Lucy almost told her experience at that time, and how she was misunderstood afterwards, and everyone was blaming her as the victim, Lucy's secret was over.

Ye Zhenzhen let out a long breath again, easing her fluctuating emotions, and said: "So you used someone else's identity just to find an opportunity to punish that person and make him pay the price?"

"That's about right."

"Lucy, then I don't understand why Wang Yan said he is also a participant now?"

Lucy wiped her tears and laughed: "He is innocent because of me, but I won't tell you too much."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned and thought for a while: "You didn't do it for revenge, so you followed him..."

"No." Lucy smiled and shook her head.

"You are so beautiful, and he is a scumbag. I can't think of any other reason except that he is after your beauty."

"I am being too smart." Lucy said no more. "There is no actual progress yet. Can you please keep it a secret for me?"

"Don't worry, I am not a talkative person. Wang Yan, that damn scumbag, doesn't believe me." Ye Zhenzhen said confidently and smiled, "But I have to remind you to be careful of Wang Yan. He is not a kind man. He really wants to eat people."

"I know, but thank you for your reminder."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Ye Zhenzhen stood up and was sent out by Lucy.

The door closed with a bang. Ye Zhenzhen, who was walking slowly, turned around and looked at the closed door. Then she shook her head and sighed, and went back to her 2203...

On this weekday, in the evening, Zhu Zhe got off work early and went to pick up his younger brother and sister, his younger brother's girlfriend, and his girlfriend's mother. The five of them returned to 2202 of Ode to Joy. With so many people entering, the small house was filled up in an instant.

Ye Zhenzhen, He Minhong and others were all aware of the arrival of Zhu Zhe's family, and Zhu Zhe even put all his things at Wang Yan's place.

Just like in the original play, Zhu Zhe showed off very tattered clothes, all ugly old clothes, and torn sheets. She told her brothers and sisters that she had saved money for their studies, and even borrowed loans and worked hard to pay off the debt.

But Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters did not understand at all, and were still thinking about taking money out of Zhu Zhe. Although Zhu Zhe had accepted this result, he was also very disappointed.

Yu Chuhui and He Minhong acted together to express their dissatisfaction with these people being here. After such a farce, Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters still couldn't stand it and said they would find a hotel near the hospital to stay. Even in this situation, Zhu Zhe's brother still wanted to borrow money from Zhu Zhe to stay in a hotel, but he had no intention of paying back the money, and he didn't even have the consciousness...

He Minhong told Ye Zhenzhen about the situation of 2202. When he heard that they were leaving, Ye Zhenzhen said that she would drive them to the hotel.

In the corridor on the 22nd floor, Ye Zhenzhen patiently explained to He Minhong that she didn't want Zhu Zhe's brother and sister to remember the address of Ode to Joy and prevent them from coming to the door in the future, so she drove to send them off.

"So that's how it is." He Minhong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, by the way, Zhenzhen, Sister Zhu and the others are five people, you can't pull them all, right? And if you get caught, you will be fined and fined."

This time it was Ye Zhenzhen who was surprised: "You can even think of this?"

He Minhong pouted and looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a look of resentment, "Zhenzhen, am I stupid?"

"Uh, I mean you shouldn't pay attention to these things."

"I have a driver's license, okay?"

"Ah...haha." Ye Zhenzhen laughed and asked, "Does Sister Zhu have a driver's license?"

"We talked about it before, Sister Zhu said she didn't have time to learn to drive, and she didn't think she would buy a car."

"Is that so. I didn't think about this problem at first, but now that you said that, I think about it again. It's late at night, and I definitely can't let a scumbag take it easy, so I decided to let him run a trip as well."

As she spoke, she took her phone and made a call directly.

"Where is the scumbag?"

"Then come down. Jiji's brother and sister are here. They are going to a hotel near the hospital. There are five of them. Jiji can't drive. I can't take them alone. Please help."

After saying these two words, Ye Zhenzhen shook her phone at He Minhong: "Come down right away."

"Brother Yan is really enthusiastic." He Minhong said.

"I'm not enthusiastic?"

He Minhong laughed: "Zhenzhen, you are more enthusiastic."

Within a minute, Wang Yan came down slowly.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, it's very fast."

"There will always be a time when you know whether it is slow or fast."

"Hmph~" Ye Zhenzhen glared at Wang Yan in reproach, and then said, "Don't say it later..."

"I know that Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters are not good people. We can't expose the fact that Zhu Zhe is a big manager and is doing well."

"You are smart."

He Minhong interrupted: "But Brother Yan, I think Sister Zhu did something..."

Noticing Wang Yan's eyes, He Minhong stopped talking and said weakly, "I just think..."

"We are all family. No matter what, they are Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters, right?"

"That's what I think."

"You have heard Zhu Zhe talk about their family situation Right?"

"But that's Sister Zhu's one-sided statement."

"Now you know you can't just listen to one side? Didn't you see them asking Zhu Zhe for money in a veiled way just now?" Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, "Xiao He, when will you shut up? If you can't figure it out for the time being, then think about it slowly. Don't rush to express your opinion. I've told you no less than three times."

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan..."

"You just say sorry out of habit, right? But in fact, you still don't understand where the problem lies. You really need to go to the train station and the hospital to have a look."

Ye Zhenzhen said: "Well, Honghong, go tell Jiji that Wang Yan and I will drive them."

"Oh..." He Minhong pursed his lips and turned back to 2202.

Watching He Minhong leave, Wang Yan bumped Ye Zhenzhen with his shoulder: "You saw that I was too idle, so you had to assign me work, right?"

"Who told you to come down?"

"If I don't come down, wouldn't my public-spirited personality be shattered?"

"Don't worry, your scumbag personality will never be shattered." Ye Zhenzhen bumped Wang Yan with more force, and found that the latter was as still as a mountain. She slapped him unconvinced, and said, "I haven't told you yet. After you left that day, I went to apologize to Lucy again. She told me those things, but didn't tell me why you became a participant. Can you tell me about it?"

"What about gossip? Knowing too much is not good for you." Wang Yan smiled, "I am more concerned. Did you wash your face that day?"

"What else are you talking about? Let you take advantage of me, you dead scumbag." Ye Zhenzhen was angry and started to fight with Wang Yan.

While the two were playing around, the door of 2202 opened, and Zhu Zhe led his brother and sister out.

She said, "Zhenzhen, Wang Yan, I'm really sorry to bother you to come so late."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "Nothing, I can't sleep anyway, so it's nice to go out for a walk. Isn't it?"

"She's right." Wang Yan nodded and said, "Let's go now?"

So everyone took the elevator to the underground parking lot. Wang Yan drove the S8 and took Zhu Zhe and her brother and sister, while Ye Zhenzhen drove her car and took Zhu Zhe's brother's girlfriend and his girlfriend's mother.

On the way, Zhu Zhe continued to fool his brother and sister, constantly deepening her feeling of being poor. Her brother and sister restrained themselves in front of Wang Yan, an outsider, but they were not very polite and complained about Zhu Zhe.

Even at night, the traffic volume in Shanghai is quite large, and the generally late working hours and the rich nightlife in the metropolis have caused this situation.

So they drove for more than half an hour before they arrived.

Waiting for Zhu Zhe to take people away, Wang Yan said to Ye Zhenzhen: "Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? Go back first, I'll wait for Zhu Zhe and take her back."

"You are sensible." Ye Zhenzhen yawned and got in the car, "Then I'll leave Gigi to you, I'll go back to sleep quickly, I may have to stay up all night tomorrow, I have to get enough rest."

"Let's go, drive slowly, pay attention to safety."

Wang Yan helped close the car door, Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand, and simply shifted gears and left.

He lit a cigarette, sat in the cab, sent a message to Zhu Zhe, and then listened to music and played with his mobile phone.

Almost twenty minutes later, Zhu Zhe opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

"Thank you, Wang Yan. It's so late, why bother making a trip."

"You said this before you came here." Seeing that she had fastened her seat belt, Wang Yan put the car into gear and drove onto the road, heading back to Ode to Joy.

In the car, Zhu Zhe was silent and sad.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I'm not in a high mood."

"It's weird that it's so high. You've heard it all this time. I worked hard and saved money to send them to college, but what happened to them? They still asked me for money overtly or covertly. Although I thought about it, it really didn't matter. It happened, but I still feel bad. There is nothing I can do about it.

I can neither explain the truth nor understand the money. I will still have to fulfill my responsibility as a foster parent in the future, but my parents will still favor my younger brother. As for my sister, she still doesn't care about me. What do you think I can do? "

"There is no way, you are bound by family ties. If you want to leave, you will have to disown your relatives. However, your parents finally raised you without illness or disaster. The conditions at that time were indeed like that. If you didn't go out to work, maybe Just get married early. Now that you have knowledge and education, you can understand your parents' feudal thoughts. Sometimes you are lucky, after all, there are always many people who are more unfortunate than you.

Complaining is really complaining, understanding is really understanding, and being helpless is really helpless. Such a contradiction, right? "

"That's right. If my parents abused me, it would be better. I wouldn't have to suffer so much..." Zhu Zhe let out a long sigh, full of helplessness.

"There's no way to solve bad things, so it's best not to think about them. Living your life well is the most important thing. Come on, smile."

Zhu Zhe faced Wang Yan with the corners of his mouth raised.

"It doesn't look good."

"You are so down to earth."

"You just know that?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Zhu Zhe and asked, "By the way, is that Chen Zufa still harassing you?"

"How dare he? He's afraid of being beaten by you." Speaking of Chen Zufa, Zhu Zhe really laughed, "He is now ruining my reputation among our fellow villagers."

"How was it corrupted?"

"What else can I say? It's just that I fell in love with you, a rich man, and I don't recognize my old friends or anything like that. Don't tell me, there have been a lot of people calling me to borrow money recently."

"How can this be corruption? Am I not a wealthy person? Am I not worth being around?"

Zhu Zhe said with a smile: "Just put away your magical powers. Can I stand by you? Although what Chen Zufa said is unpleasant, it still makes sense."

"What's the point? I want to change my taste, start messing up but give up, be irresponsible, and kick someone after the fun is over?"

"I don't deserve it."

"Look, then again, you just have less confidence in yourself. You are no worse than others. Don't always think about your education, diploma, age, marriage and childbearing status. You have to think about how far you will go step by step. Today, when you sit in the position of manager, the skills you have developed over the years enable you to deal with many situations. You have to be confident and you are a strong person.”

Zhu Zhe laughed when he heard this: "Has anyone ever said that you will definitely make a lot of money as a success lecturer?"

"Isn't that what you said? I haven't even used my power yet." Wang Yan turned around and said, "Do you need me to talk to Chen Zuffa again?"

"No, it won't have any big impact."

Just like that, the two of them laughed and replied to the Ode to Joy. Zhu Zhe's mood was not that bad anymore. She was a person who could adjust herself, not to mention that Wang Yan was the audience...

It was another Saturday, and Ye Zhenzhen slept until she woke up naturally, feeling happy. The only bad thing is that I dreamed about a bad guy again yesterday.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, and saw that David had sent many messages early in the morning. She sent a reply, and the other person responded almost instantly.

The two parties chatted for a while on the phone. David said he had something to see Ye Zhenzhen and asked for Ye Zhenzhen's address. He bought breakfast and talked while eating. Ye Zhenzhen did not refuse.

Not long after, David took a taxi. On the way, he bought a bouquet of flowers and a meal at a breakfast shop outside the community. Along the way, he found 2203 and rang the doorbell.

Ye Zhenzhen, who had already washed up and was wearing home clothes, opened the door, took the flowers casually, and then turned around and went back: "Come in, you are looking for me like you are urging me early in the morning, what is going on?"

"Hey, do you think my appearance is now 90% restored?"

"Can good looks be used as food?"

"Yes, why not? Oh, that's wrong..."

David, who was looking around the indoor environment, reacted and put the breakfast on the kitchen island. He looked straight at Ye Zhenzhen with his eyes behind his glasses and said curiously, "I said, this is the Yan Zhengyi I know." Why don’t you recognize me anymore? Why, you’ve changed your gender and you don’t like handsome men anymore?”

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said: "I mean you are a little cheeky."

"I didn't talk to you much when I came back last time, but now I realize that you have changed a lot in the past few years."

"Is it possible that you are not handsome enough?"

"How is that possible?" David said firmly, "Whether it's a man or a woman, whenever he looks in the mirror, he will feel handsome and beautiful. I admit that one is handsome and the other is handsome, but I am not bad either. Okay? I've been chatted up by people everywhere I go these years."

"Then what? Do you have any sexy and beautiful encounter stories?"

"As I said last time, when I was playing outside, I was almost exhausted. How can I still have those thoughts?"

"Then who knows." Ye Zhenzhen said instead, "Tell me what you want from me. Hey, you didn't have breakfast?"

David smiled and said, "Why else would I buy so many?"

"Then let's eat together and talk about your business quickly."

"That's it. I wrote a novel online. I didn't expect it to be an instant hit. Now the editor of the website wants me to sign a contract. But I don't want to expose myself. So I want you to take me, Use your name to sign with them."

"Hehe..." Ye Zhenzhen smiled at David, then her face straightened, "No!"

"Why?"

David anxiously explained various reasons, saying that he couldn't shamelessly admit that he was an otaku who coded at home, that Ye Zhenzhen had experience of studying abroad, and that he had just returned to China and was a researcher doing research in a research institute. All the conditions were met, and he was told that he wanted to save face. If someone discovers that Ye Zhenzhen is imposter, it can still ensure that he is not exposed...

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen laughing, David also smiled and said, "Do you agree?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You can't lose face, why do you still want to lose face? I don't understand why it has become a shameful thing. If you feel embarrassed, why did you write it? At the worst, why don't you just not sign the contract? This platform won't let you Post it, then post it on other platforms. Don’t you want people to see it? It’s fine if they see it. You don’t care whether you sign or not?

He also said that I am a scientific researcher and fit the profile of a homebody. Brother, I'm very busy, okay? I don't have the time, nor the leisure. Speaking of the issue of identity exposure, why should it be impossible for me to say that I am a woman and it is impossible to write about a stallion? Aren’t there also fujoshi stories? Aren’t there still homosexuals? Aren’t there still people who go to the club to look for ducks?

And I am a scientific researcher. What will people think of me if they find out about this? It’s not what colleagues think, it’s what netizens think. They would think, are scientific researchers so free? You don’t work while you’re getting paid, but you still have time to write novels?

Wouldn't it be worse if they found out my second-generation rich family background? They will think that everything I do is run with money from my family, and I am just occupying the toilet and doing nothing. At that time, it will not be a good thing for me or our family. If I don’t admit it, then I didn’t write it? It's really not that easy. No one knows how this kind of thing will develop, and it’s even harder to say clearly.

Besides, it’s not like I have to do it. I definitely won’t do it. You’d better give up on this and find someone else. "

Ye Zhenzhen stated her reasons for rejection very clearly, clearly and directly, and made a different decision from the original drama.

Just as Ye Zhenzhen said, David's reasons were full of loopholes.

This is understandable and explainable. Because David wanted to establish contact with Ye Zhenzhen and get closer, but he couldn't find any other reasonable excuse, so he just said it in such a flawless way.

Ye Zhenzhen in the original drama agreed, apparently because she didn't dislike it and didn't care about those things. But now why does IQ occupy the high ground? Why do we disagree? This is a no-brainer.

David wisely did not continue to pester, but looked pitiful: "Hey, okay. Since you don't want to, then I can't force you not to. It's pity that I am such a handsome and handsome boy who wants to be regarded as such. He is an otaku who writes at home. The awesomeness he boasted about in the past is about to be exposed.”

"What's the point of exposing it? After all, it's your real experience. I really don't understand what you think. It feels very hypocritical."

"Okay, I'm such a strong-willed person, but you said I'm being pretentious, so I won't say it anymore. Are you okay today?"

"I ran a half marathon yesterday afternoon, and I plan to take a rest today. What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway, and I thought I'd go out with you for a walk. I guess you haven't been to such a big Shanghai for so long since you've been back home. It just so happens that the two of us can keep company. , get familiar with the environment, but since you want to rest, forget it, let’s talk about it another day.”

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and smiled: "Actually, there is nothing to see. I occasionally drive out for a drive. Driving aimlessly is not interesting."

"What can you see while driving? It just depends on the traffic. There are so many traffic jams. You still have to keep your feet on the ground, walk around various places, and try various delicacies. I discovered a noodle shop two days ago. They make pork liver noodles. It’s very delicious. Oh, yes, I’ll share it with you. You can try it when you have time. Where can you eat these abroad?”

"It's true. I was forced to know how to cook. Can you believe it?"

"It sounds like I don't know how to do it." David sighed and said, "How about we make an appointment next week?"

"What?"

"Chongming Island is very nice. It is the estuary of the Yangtze River and has been developed for many years. I think the scenery is very good. Let's go for a run, ride a bicycle, watch the sunset, have a barbecue and drink some beer. How pleasant, what do you think?”

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up and she nodded: "That's a good idea."

"Then look, I still don't understand you?"

Glancing at him, Ye Zhenzhen said: "But it's just the two of us, so it's a bit boring. And I'm not sure if I have time next week."

"Then put it in the plan first, and you can find some people. I just came back. After so many years, I really don't have many friends in China. Wait until Friday, and I'll ask you again. If we have time, we can go there on Saturday. Stay there for one night and come back on Sunday. Wake up and go to work refreshed, isn't it wonderful?"

"It's really wonderful." Ye Zhenzhen smiled, "Okay, then, I'll tell you on Friday whether I'll go or not."
