If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The time is December 31, 2024, the eve of the filming of "Dragon Tribe 2" and also New Year's Eve.

The doorbell rang, and Lin Nian, who was carrying two bags of vegetables, stood at the security door. After a while, he heard footsteps from inside, and then the sound of the door handle was heard. The door opened and a good-looking head came out, which made Lin Nian stunned for a moment.

Because he leaned his head out, his golden hair hung in front of his face, slightly sticking to the cherry-colored corners of his lips, and his little tongue was exposed. He made a V sign to Lin Nian, who was holding a plastic bag outside the door, "Yeah!"

Lin Nian subconsciously looked around to see if there were any camera positions in the corridor. If it was a camera from a variety show or a crew behind-the-scenes camera team, it would be fine, and he could immediately get into the state to shoot something, but if it was a paparazzi camera, the situation would be quite bad.

After all, it was difficult for him to explain why Yelena, a Russian-American Cannes Film Queen, would appear in his home on New Year's Eve. If the paparazzi secretly photographed her, the headlines of all kinds of gossip and entertainment magazines tomorrow would be exaggerated.

"Don't look, there are no cameras facing you here. Your community should be able to provide this level of security! And I came in with your sister's car, so no one should know that I came to your house tonight." Yelena still showed her beautiful head and looked at Lin Nian, then smiled like Garfield.

The ancient Chinese definition of the standard of beauty is to smile without showing teeth, but this little blonde beauty smiled particularly arrogantly, with healthy gums and white teeth showing at a glance, giving people a very childish feeling - it was this smile that was made into an emoticon package by many netizens in China, and Yelena herself was not angry when she saw it, but she made her avatar, which ate up a lot of domestic traffic, and she played the entire Internet thoroughly.

"Miss Yelena, isn't the crew on holiday today? How come you are in my house?" Lin Nian asked, holding a plastic bag and squinting at the famous Cannes actress.

"Guess?" Miss Yelena seemed not to regard Lin Nian as an outsider, or as if she was the owner of this house, and kicked the question back to Lin Nian.

Lin Nian didn't want to guess. He looked at the quirky blonde girl in front of him with a complicated heart. He could only shake his head and walk forward, motioning her to open the door so that he could go in.

The door opened, and Yelena's clothes were exposed in front of him, which made him startled again - of course, it was not some inexplicable New Year's Eve killing, but she was wrapped in an apron, which was an advertisement for a brand of chicken essence, and there was a lot of white flour on the surface.

"What are you doing--" Lin Nian looked at her housewife-like outfit, which was indeed a bit localized.

Before Yelena answered, Lin Xian's voice came from the room, "Is Lin Nian back? Ask him to help, I'm so busy."

"Okay, sister." Yelena replied with a smile.

Lin Nian, who was standing by, looked at the blonde girl who came and went freely in the room, wondering whether this was your home or mine, your sister or me, so I was the one who came to visit tonight?

He put the plastic bag at the door, changed his shoes and walked to the living room. He saw Lin Xian sitting at the table under the chandelier, working hard on the rolling pin and dough on the table. There were several rows of wrapped glutinous rice balls on the iron plate, "Have you bought the things? Come and help, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to ask guests to help."

"Aren't we having hot pot tonight? I've bought all the dishes, why are you making glutinous rice balls again?" Lin Nian walked to the table and sat down and asked.

"Yelena said she had never made glutinous rice balls before. It happens to be New Year's Day tomorrow, so I'd better make some early. I can make a bowl for Yelena to taste on New Year's Eve." Lin Xian smiled and raised his hand to wipe the flour dust on his cheek with his elbow. The earrings sparkled under the chandelier. "Have you bought the ingredients for the hot pot?"

"Yes, I bought the base ingredients, the Chongqing hot pot base ingredients, which the boss strongly recommended to me." Lin Nian glanced at the plastic bag at the door, "I thought there were not many people tonight, and it seems that the ingredients may be a little less."

"I can't eat much, hehe, mainly to come here for the New Year's Eve atmosphere. Anyway, I can't go back to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles for filming. I'm free anyway, so I came to play with you!" Yelena also sat at the table and tried to make glutinous rice balls, but her movements were a bit clumsy, and it seemed that because she was too greedy, she stuffed too much stuffing inside, so the wrapped glutinous rice balls looked a circle bigger.

You can't say that. In fact, Lin Nian knew that this was just a blurt. Didn't Caesar Gattuso secretly take his Chinese girlfriend Chen Motong to his hometown Portofino to celebrate the New Year in a private plane?

"It's not easy to cook it if you do this. You will eat a mouthful of raw dough when the time comes." Lin Nian couldn't stand Yelena's irritable way of making glutinous rice balls and reminded her.

"It's okay to be clumsy, just teach me step by step!" Yelena tilted her head and laughed strangely.

Lin Nian glanced at Lin Xian, who just smiled and wrapped the glutinous rice balls by himself, pretending not to hear Yelena's teasing of Lin Nian.

"I still have to boil the base ingredients, you can wrap them yourself." Lin Nian sighed.

He went into the kitchen to cook the induction cooker, and through the open door he heard Elena in the living room chatting to Lin Xian as if she was bored, asking questions about whether the glutinous rice balls were more delicious, whether they were salty or sweet, and whether they were delicious tonight. Every household must make glutinous rice balls, just like Americans must eat turkey for Easter, and then there is the strange question of whether the daughter-in-law who married from China can not eat glutinous rice balls if she doesn't like them.

It is really hard to imagine that a woman with a high reputation internationally would show up at her home during New Year's Eve - doesn't she have more important things to do? Even though they are colleagues who have worked together recently, did they become familiar with each other too quickly?

In fact, the two people's acquaintance is quite strange. When the movie "Dragon" was started, no one would have thought that the director would be so powerful that he could find Yelena, a popular movie queen, to play the heroine, while the male protagonist was Instead of choosing those popular fried chickens from the Chinese entertainment industry, we found a new way to find a freshman who had never had any acting experience to play the role.

According to rumors, the director's casting made Yelena's agent very dissatisfied, including Yelena herself, a heroine who is both capable and idolatrous. She also had suspicions about the choice of the male lead through the back door. I doubt it, and I promised that I won’t work with someone who can’t memorize a single line and can only count ABCD on the set.

It is said that the director only used one sentence to persuade Yelena, that is, he hoped that Yelena could take time to meet the male protagonist. If she was not satisfied, she could quit the crew at any time, and was willing to compensate Miss Yelena for all the expenses she incurred in coming to China to audition. Cost, and even a loss of work time allowance.

Then Miss Yelena, the young movie queen, wore sunglasses and her agent, chewed gum, blew bubbles and held a parasol to the set in China. I remember it was a bright sun that day, and she was going to the episode of "Dragon". The set of the scene is said to be the high school alma mater of the actor himself.

With disdainful and appraising eyes, amidst the screams and cheers of countless onlookers, she casually gave autographs to a few lucky students and walked all the way into the school and into the studio, where the director introduced the male and female protagonists to each other. Only then did she notice a person in the corner A big boy who was holding a script and reciting quietly stood up, walked up to her, stretched out his hand to shake her hand, and introduced himself as Lin Nian, the male protagonist of this movie, who was a complete novice in making movies. I also hope Miss Yelena can give me more advice.

When his hands were separated, the young Cannes actress looked at Lin Nian in front of him, put away his previous dissatisfaction, looked him up and down, and suddenly showed a "doing evil" smile, and asked Lin Nianjin with a wide grin. Are you free tonight? Do you want to treat her to a meal?

——Then she was taken to the noodle shop downstairs in the community by Lin Nian to eat a bowl of local beef noodles.

After that, the noodle shop often received takeout orders from the crew. Sometimes in the morning, Lin Nian, who was going downstairs to eat noodles, would even bump into Yelena, who was wearing sunglasses and a hat and was fucking beef noodles in the corner. , the two of them became familiar with each other after going back and forth.

After that, people on the crew often heard Yelena praise Lin Nian more than once as a talented actor. This movie will definitely shine after this movie. She even hoped to recommend Lin Nian to Hollywood to shine and become the next Jackychen. Even if you are not good enough, you can become someone like the International Chapter.

So privately, many people think that either Lin Nian sold Gouzi to a director, or he sold Gouzi to a Cannes actress. After all, in the film industry, this kind of thing happens all the time.

In the kitchen, Lin Nian was calm and unperturbed. He took out the induction cooker and pot, poured in the hot pot base, poured in water, and walked outside. When he reached the living room, he heard a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door." Yelena really didn't think of herself as an outsider, so she put on her slippers and walked to the door with a flutter.

Lin Nian put down the induction cooker and turned to look at the porch, wanting to see who was knocking on the door this New Year's Eve. As soon as the door opened, he saw the face of a familiar girl across Elena.

"Excuse me, I'm here. Why are you here?" The original smile on the girl outside the door paused and slowly faded away after opening the door and seeing Elena. Then there was suspicion and strangeness in her eyes. .

"Where would I be if I wasn't here? I have nothing to do tonight, just visiting here and there for the New Year!" Elena raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, looking at the girl in front of her who obviously had something wrong with her expression.

"Su Xiaoqiang?" Lin Nian put down the induction cooker and looked at the girl outside the door, a little stunned.

"Lin Nian!" Su Xiaoqiang looked past Elena to Lin Nian in the living room, and his eyes suddenly brightened again.

She lowered her gaze and looked at the blond girl in front of her, her smile disappeared, she coughed slightly, her expression was very formal, she stretched out her hand to shake her hand, "Good evening, Miss Elena."

"Good evening, Miss Lin Nian's childhood sweetheart." Elena turned her head and smiled evilly, "It seems like Sister Lin Xian didn't tell you that she also invited me to celebrate New Year's Eve tonight?"

Su Xiaoqiang blinked, pretending not to hear this sentence, bypassing Elena, naturally raised one foot and took off her low high-heeled shoes, took out her exclusive pink slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on thin black silk stockings. On her wrapped feet, she walked into the living room under Yelena's narrowed cat-like eyes, "Aren't you making hot pot tonight? Why are you making glutinous rice balls? Do you want me to help?"

"Xiaoqiang, you came so early! I thought you would be later!"

"My parents are at work and can't come back. I'm bored at home alone. I'm free so I thought of coming here to play." Su Xiaoqiang went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and sat at the table to wrap the dumplings. He glanced at the oversized dumplings in the iron plate and said in confusion, "Hmm? Who wrapped these? They can't be cooked if wrapped like this?"

"Ah, Miss Yelena wrapped them."

"Ah, that's no wonder. It's the first time, so it's understandable. It's done very well." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.

Yelena at the door didn't look back, but according to the close-up of the anime, an abstract "well" should have appeared on her head.

"There's one more person." Lin Nian poured water into the pot on the induction cooker, and estimated in his mind whether the ingredients he bought were enough. At this time, the screen of his mobile phone on the table lit up, and a new text message came in.

He tilted his head and found that it was from Chu Zihang. He picked up the phone, unlocked it, read the content, and suddenly smiled, turned off the phone screen and continued to work on his hot pot base.

The content of the text message was a simple New Year's Eve greeting. At the same time, Chu Zihang also invited Lin Nian. Xia Mi told him that there was a New Year's Eve event in CBD tonight. Many people were there. Would you like to go and have a look together?

Lin Nian knew about the New Year's Eve event in CBD. Everyone gathered in front of a very old clock tower square. The clock on the clock tower would ring at midnight. At that time, there would be a light show and biodegradable balloons flying in the whole square. Many couples were going to celebrate the New Year there tonight. At midnight, there would even be a competition for the most romantic kiss.

Did Xia Mi ask Senior Brother Chu to go there to play? If I really responded, wouldn't it seem a little unromantic?

Lin Nian smiled and decided to ignore the text message. After tonight, Senior Brother Chu should understand my cold treatment, right? After all, if he ignored him, he could only follow Xia Mi's invitation and go to the clock tower. When he was at a loss in the atmosphere of a group of couples, would he accidentally find the girl when the lights were dim, or would the girl touch him from behind and cover his eyes as usual?

Lin Nian decided to give Chu Zihang to Xia Mi tonight.

With a smile on his face, he slowly spread the ingredients in the plastic bag on the table. Just after he finished everything, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up again, and another text message came in. He clicked it and found that the sender was Li Huoyue. The content was very simple: Happy New Year.

Very concise, just like her style of doing things.

Lin Nian also replied her a New Year's greeting.

A young lady like her should have a much more exciting night than himself, right? I heard that her parents even put down their busy work in the family business and came back from overseas to Beijing to spend the New Year with her. When she received a call from her father on the set, she left without even looking back, and didn't even say hello to the director - and the director was not angry at all, but sat happily in a chair drinking happy water, with a surprisingly good temper.

Thinking that the cold girl would smile at home tonight, Lin Nian couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He put down his phone and was about to look up and call the girls who were still making dumplings to eat hot pot, but at this time, his phone rang.

A call came in, it was Lu Mingfei's call.

Lin Nian picked up the phone and said, "What? I'm busy and don't have time to play games with you. If you don't have a place to spend the New Year, you can come to my house. By the way, if you pass by the fresh supermarket, go in and buy some for me."

A correct version at 16191 book and 1 forum!

"Lin Nian! Something seems to have happened here! Help!" Lu Mingfei's panicked voice suddenly rang on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Nian frowned suddenly and put down what he was doing.

"I was blocked by paparazzi in the hotel."

"Blocked in the hotel? Why are you in the hotel at this time?"

"What, this is an accident."

"Wait a minute, are you alone in the hotel?" Lin Nian suddenly caught something wrong.

"Of course not - Miss Ling and I are blocked in the room of the Regent Hotel! There are a lot of paparazzi outside, they are about to rush in." Lu Mingfei's voice was almost crying.

".?" Lin Nian's brain was down for a while, and then he said, "What are you two doing in the Regent Hotel?"

"New Year's Eve?" Lu Mingfei said tentatively.

"New Year's Eve in the hotel? You can tell the paparazzi that, look forward to what the headlines of the entertainment gossip weekly will be tomorrow." Lin Nian said after a moment of silence.

"So, Lin Nian! Save me!" Lu Mingfei wailed.

Then he explained the whole story.

Because there was really nothing to do during the New Year's Eve, Lu Mingfei originally wanted to come and hang out with Lin Nian. He happily walked halfway to Lin Nian's house, but suddenly saw a Mercedes-Benz with Su Xiaoqiang's license plate whizzing on the street, heading exactly where Lin Nian's community was. He suddenly realized that he might become the brightest light bulb if he went there, so he turned around and walked home in the cold wind.

Looking at the night view of the city and himself alone under the street lights, he seemed to have an autistic attack. He took out his mobile phone for no reason and remembered Miss Ling who seemed to be alone in the crew and didn't seem to have any plans for the New Year's Eve. So he sent a text message to ask her what she was doing and if she had nothing to do, would she spend the New Year's Eve together.

Miss Ling was very considerate, and then sent Lu Mingfei an address, which happened to be the hotel where the other party secretly stayed during the filming - Lijing Hotel, and agreed to have dinner with Lu Mingfei.

Seeing that address, Lu Mingfei felt refreshed, feeling that he was finally getting rid of the curse of being alone on New Year's Eve. He didn't realize that he was being followed by a paparazzi, and then he ran all the way to the Regent Hotel.

He and Miss Ling were arranged to have dinner by the hotel chef in the presidential suite. The waiter even misunderstood something in a romantic way and lit a few candles. The atmosphere was full. Just when Lu Mingfei was a little confused, at the same time When he realized something, the paparazzi who had been following him finally showed his fangs and blocked the door forcefully! Not to be outdone, colleagues who had also received the news rushed to the Regent Hotel like wolves and blocked the door of the suite. The excitement was like a fan meeting.

As long as the door of the suite is opened and Lu Mingfei and Ling are seen in the same room, no matter whether they are neatly dressed or not, tomorrow's front page headlines can be thought of with eyes closed.

"Hmm." Lin Nian thought for a while and then said after a moment of silence, "Which floor is the presidential suite on?"

"Uh, twenty-fourth floor?"

"It shouldn't hurt." Lin Nian said, then hung up the phone.

He is not a god. He does not have the super power to instantly fly to the hotel to rescue Lu Mingfei and the others. He is obviously a public figure and does not pay attention to the paparazzi when he goes out. It can only be said that he deserves a disaster. It is just that he has harmed Miss Ling. I guess there are more. There's a scandal.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nian turned to look at the three girls at the table and said, "Dinner is ready."

"Coming!" Su Xiaoqiang immediately responded with his head.

"Wow, it smells so good. Is this the mysterious oriental death cuisine that is said to cause you to go to the hospital if you eat it? It really looks like boiling human blood that has been cursed."

Lin Nian raised his hand and slapped the back of Yelena's hand. When she looked at her in shock, she said expressionlessly, "Wash your hands first."

Yelena could only purse her lips and trot to the sink. Su Xiaoqiang, who had washed her hands early, came over humming low and found a seat closest to Lin Nian and sat down.

Lin Xian took off his apron and sat on the other side of Lin Nian. He glanced at the bright colors of the hot pot under the light and said with a smile, "It's very fragrant. I bought the right ingredients for this - you didn't call Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang Are they coming over to celebrate the New Year?”

"They - they should all have their own things to do." Lin Nian said expressionlessly.

"I'm coming, uh, where's my seat?" Yelena came back with wide eyes and saw Lin Nian sitting on the left and right of the two people.

"Isn't it the opposite side? It's very empty. Sit wherever you want." Su Xiaoqiang looked at her with chopsticks and said with a smile.

"The visitor is a guest!" The little golden retriever is particularly skilled in using Chinese culture at this time.

"I'm here too." Su Xiaoqiang was not to be outdone.

"Okay, it's the same no matter where you sit, the hot pot is on." Lin Xian smiled to smooth things over.

At this time, the sound of an explosion suddenly sounded outside the window. Yelena suddenly thought it was some kind of terrorist attack. She turned over quickly, yelled to hide quickly, and got behind the sofa. Su Xiaoqiang at the table looked at her so happily that she almost laughed.

Lin Xian and Lin Nian put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked out the window. It was the fireworks exploding in the direction of the CBD, which also meant the countdown to New Year's Eve.

Lin Nian glanced at the fireworks outside, turned back and was about to rinse his belly, when suddenly he seemed to hear someone shouting.

Lu Mingfei (not concerned)?

"What's wrong?" Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Lin Nian shrugged nonchalantly and called Elena behind the sofa to come sit and eat.

On New Year's Eve, everyone has their own things to do. In short, as long as you spend tonight, everything will be fine tomorrow.
