Dust is like a city

Chen Qianchen simply packed up some things and went back without telling anyone in the company, because he knew that no one in the company cared about where he went or what he did.

This time he went to the airport with a mask and a peaked cap, so no one recognized him, and he just leaned tiredly by the window after boarding the plane.

Although it was a sudden decision to go back this time, it was only when I really embarked on this journey back home that my heart felt a little bumpy with the plane.

He didn't know what he was going to face, the cold words from his parents?Maybe even get swept away?

In fact, that's right, he really failed too much.

At the beginning, the 17-year-old boy who had an ideal that the whole world could hear the songs he wrote seemed like a dream of yesterday, but the reality tore the dream to pieces.In the four years since his debut, he has written countless songs, but he has never been used by the company.The company only believes in the genuine composers and lyricists invited, and believes that they can accurately grasp the current popular elements and trends.

Not long ago, he was thinking about having debuted for four years, so he could discuss with his manager and the company that at least one member's song should be included in the album, as a milestone for the four of them.

But the manuscript of that song is now lying at the bottom of the drawer, and it should never see the light of day again. Even recalling it makes me feel ironic, as if saying:

—Look, this is your seven years.

Three years of hard work and four years of hard work.

Don't talk about success, now it's like a bereaved dog, with no one around.

- is that really it, is it all over?

Chen Qianchen closed his eyes, feeling the unceasing surge of astringent emotions.

It's really tiring, but should we stop here?He asked himself repeatedly.Thinking of the firm eyes of the young man when he sent Lu Zhexiao away that day, he said, "We must be popular."

- Must it be red...?

When Chen Qianchen opened his eyes again, the plane had already entered City C and was slowly preparing to land at a low altitude.Unlike the cold winter in City A, there was some cloudy rain in the sky in City C, which hit the glass, very small, and slid into flowing waterlines.

Chen Qianchen didn't have a checked bag to salute, so he walked out of the airport directly after the plane landed.As an entertainer, even though he was used to wearing very little in winter, he still couldn't help being chilled by the coming rain. Fortunately, he soon saw his sister who was already waiting for him.

"Qianchen, Qianchen!" His sister, who was already three years older than him, shed the youthfulness she had when she entered college and became a calm woman after seeing her for four years.

"Xiang Wei is in the parking lot, let's go there quickly." Sister Chen Mengchen smiled, walked over to greet her younger brother, and saluted with the other's hand, "Come, sister, come and get it."

"No, it's very light, I can do it myself." Chen Qianchen waved his hand and refused.

"How can this work? You are a public figure now, a big star. How can a big star take things by himself?" Chen Mengchen still shook his head.

Chen Qianchen smiled bitterly, and didn't want to continue this topic: "It's okay, what's wrong with being an artist, why don't those with arms and legs take things by themselves? Well, didn't you say that Xiang Viagra is waiting? Let's go there quickly Well, it's the first time I've seen him, won't it make my future brother-in-law wait a long time for me?"

Xue Xiangwei was her sister's boyfriend when she was in her junior year. At that time, Chen Qianchen was already in City A, so of course I hadn't seen him. I just heard my sister mention it once or twice. Help at home or something.Haven't heard much about the others.

Mentioning the "future brother-in-law" Chen Mengchen blushed slightly, but he really didn't continue to say that he would help Chen Qianchen with his luggage, and said with a smile: "Today, he happened to have a car at work, so I asked him to borrow it so that he can pick you up. .”

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come here. I'll just take a taxi back at the airport."

"This is what parents mean..." Chen Mengchen said softly.

"...Huh?" Chen Qianchen suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Parents...know I'm coming...?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" My sister glared at him, "Even if I didn't tell them before, they will know when I get home at night. Could it be that you can't live at home when you come back?"

That's true.Chen Qianchen smiled, didn't say anything more, and followed Chen Mengchen's footsteps to the parking lot.

When he was almost at the parking lot, Chen Qianchen raised his head: "Sister... Parents and the others..."

"Qianchen..." Chen Mengchen, who was walking in front, suddenly slowed down a little, "If you can come back this time, your parents will think that you have softened your attitude and know that they are wrong. They still don't know about Luo Chen. Come on." Don't miss out when it's time, even if your parents say a few words to you, just listen to it, don't make trouble with them..."

"I know... I'm not the kid I was seven years ago." Chen Qianchen said helplessly.

Although if he did it all over again, maybe he would still choose to leave without hesitation seven years ago, but looking back now, it is really ridiculous that the youth at that time was meaningless.

"Mengchen."

A greeting suddenly sounded in the distance, interrupting the conversation between the siblings. A man who looked like 28 waved towards the two of them. No need to guess, he knew that he must be the future brother-in-law.

"Hello, brother-in-law." Putting away his emotions, Chen Qianchen still raised a nice smile when facing unfamiliar people. In front of the camera, no matter how private your emotions are, you have to store them up and show your perfect side.

"Hey, this is Qianchen, right?" Xue Xiangwei was delighted to be called "brother-in-law", "As expected of a big star, he is really tall, but he is too skinny. His legs are thinner than your sister's."

"What are you talking about?" It's a common problem for women no matter how old they are. They don't like being told that their legs are thick, so they immediately kicked Xue Xiangwei's calf, "Qianchen, sit down, it's cold outside, wearing so little, Really."

Chen Qianchen sat in the back seat of the car under his sister's nagging. His salute was only a backpack, and he didn't even need to put it in the trunk, he just threw it on the back seat.

Xue Xiangwei seems to be a very talkative person: "Qianchen, the three siblings of your family are so beautiful compared to each other, no wonder they can become stars. Luo Chen is just a little short-tempered, otherwise he should really follow you just because of his appearance." This second brother is a jerk."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Mengchen interrupted him, "It's not enough for our family to leave once. If Xiaochen also becomes a celebrity, parents should not be so angry. Don't talk nonsense to Xiaochen next time." When it was over, Xue Xiangwei and Chen Mengchen felt that his words were inappropriate, "Qianchen, sister means..."

"I know." Chen Qianchen cut off his sister's words with a gentle smile, "Speaking of which, why did Xiaochen fight?"

"I don't know, and he refused to tell me when I asked. The kid from the other party's family also said that he jumped on him suddenly and beat others up for no reason. You said that this kid... the past two years have really It's getting more and more difficult to manage..." Chen Mengchen sighed, "Parents expect him to get into a good university, but he still makes troubles all the time..."

For this brother who is six years younger than himself, Chen Qianchen's memory still stays on the fact that the other party is a child, and for his sister, the person they describe is subtly inconsistent. Seven years is too long, so long that brothers Maybe they don't even know each other.

"Sister, park your car near the bank before you go home. I'll transfer the money to your account first." Chen Qianchen said.

"Don't be in such a hurry..."

"Yes, it's better to finish it as soon as possible. If it takes too long, who knows if the school will make a fuss with my parents." Chen Qianchen said, "And my time is not fixed, who knows when the company will call me back gone."

What you said makes sense, Chen Mengchen thought for a while and nodded: "Well...how can you say that you are also a busy person, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

"...I don't know..." Chen Qianchen smiled wryly. He was thinking whether someone would come to the company where he stayed for ten and a half months?Oh, it should still be possible, the key to the apartment is still in his hand, and the company is still trying to help him move.

At the nearby bank where the car was parked, Chen Qianchen got out of the car and remitted all the 15 in the passbook to his sister's account. After finishing these things quickly, they returned home together.

The home that I haven’t returned for seven years is even older than I remember, the walls will turn gray and yellow, and it hasn’t been renovated in seven years.

Chen Qianchen stepped into the house with a bit of anxiety. His parents, who knew he was coming back early in the morning, were sitting in the living room and seemed to be waiting for him. He raised his eyes and said, "You're back? Mengchen, go ask Xiao Chen to come down for dinner."

"Okay." Chen Mengchen went upstairs to call Chen Luochen.

Chen Qianchen stood awkwardly at the door for a while, was dragged into the living room by Xue Xiangwei, and then slowly called twice: "Dad...Mom..."

Father didn't say much, but mother sighed slightly and said, "Sit down, we're about to eat..."

Chen Qianchen felt sour in his heart and nodded.

Before he came back, he made a lot of assumptions. He imagined how to explain the past and how to resolve the conflict with his parents.But among the millions of ideas, there is no such plain beginning and ending.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to continue to say something, he suddenly heard a hum that was neither light nor heavy.

Chen Qianchen turned his head and saw a young man who was following the elder sister downstairs.About seventeen or eighteen years old, fair-skinned, tall and handsome, with a Band-Aid on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Qianchen was stunned. He knew that the person in front of him should be his younger brother——Chen Luochen, but he always felt that there was a short circuit in his brain, and he couldn't overlap the impression of the boy with a few years ago. , is absolutely unrecognizable.And... the younger brother seemed a little upset when he looked at him.I don't know if it's my own illusion.

"Xiaochen, this is the second brother." Chen Mengchen said, "You still call me?"

Chen Luochen sat impatiently in front of the dining table, "Didn't you say to eat? Why didn't the food come out?"

"You child..." Chen Mengchen frowned, "Your brother came back just for your sake..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Xiangwei helped him stop the conversation, "Oh, the food is here, Meng, you go and help your parents to serve the food in the kitchen."

Seeing his parents coming, Chen Mengchen finally didn't say much, just said to Chen Qianchen, "Qianchen, sit down."

Chen Qianchen nodded, looked up at Chen Luochen, only to find that the young man was also looking up at him, but he quickly moved away after the eyes met.
