Dust is like a city

After dinner, everyone was a little weirdly silent, maybe it was tacit understanding.The parents didn't ask about Chen Qianchen's work, but simply asked, are you busy recently?

Chen Qianchen only replied that it was okay.

They didn't know what to say. The family never had an overnight feud. No matter how unhappy the incident was, it's over now, and it's hard to say anything when everything is settled.It's just that the gap of seven years is here after all, and it is not so easy to cross it.

After dinner, Xue Xiangwei left, and the old man rested earlier. Chen Mengchen arranged for Chen Qianchen and Luo Chen to sleep in the same room. When Chen Qianchen left, he also shared a room with this younger brother, but Luo Chen was only 11 years old at that time, and his younger brother slept in the same room. He sleeps in the lower bunk.

Now when I walked into the room, I saw that the bed was still the same as before, except that the desk and wardrobe were replaced with new ones.

His younger brother seems to be still sleeping on the upper bunk, and the lower bunk is covered with a sheet, on which are piled up some sundries that he has nowhere to put, including magazines, CD players, and some things that Chen Qianchen didn't come to read urgently, Chen Luochen pushed the door open and walked in.

Chen Luochen had just finished taking a shower, his hair was half-dried, and his physique was still a bit thin for his seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was taller, he should be taller than his elder brother, right?

When Chen Luochen saw Chen Qianchen standing by the bed, he walked over impatiently, pushed the brother away, and then tidied up the things on the bed, saying that he just stuffed them all under the desk.During the process, he didn't speak a word to Chen Qianchen.

However, Chen Qianchen noticed that Chen Luochen, who had changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt after taking a shower, had obvious bruises on his arms, which made Chen Qianchen frowned slightly.

"Luo Chen..." Chen Qianchen called out his name.

Chen Luochen looked back at him, his beautiful brows were also frowned, and he didn't speak.

It seems that it is not good to preach at the beginning, Chen Qianchen hesitated and chose a detour: "Is this eighteenth year? How old is it?"

Chen Luochen rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Chen Qianchen's question to be so boring, he didn't even bother to answer it, so he planned to climb into bed.

Chen Qianchen choked for a moment: "Brother was talking to you..."

The other party climbed onto the bed, turned over and planned to sleep.

When I was young, my younger brother who was so cute and would follow behind me, how did he become like this now?Chen Qianchen sighed in his heart, time is really a scary thing, he hasn't come back for seven years, everything looks so different, but as a brother he still said: "Don't be so naughty in the future, you are so big, don't let your parents Worrying about you, and Eldest Sister..."

"What right do you have to say about me?" Chen Luochen's voice suddenly came from above.

"Hey..." Chen Qianchen thought that this younger brother would ignore him tonight.

"The one who makes them worry about you is you?" Chen Luochen's voice seemed to have a little sarcasm.

Chen Qianchen frowned.

"I haven't come back for seven years... I've come back after being a mess..." Chen Luochen sarcastically whispered.

Chen Qianchen was shocked and raised his head in surprise, "You..."

"Parents don't know if they don't use the Internet, and my sister is busy with work every day and don't know, but there are many people who know. You are so low in popularity and have a bad online reputation. You never thought that one day these things might reach your parents. In Mom's ears?" Chen Luochen simply sat up from the bed, "Parents don't know how worried you have been outside these seven years, have you cared about them? Mom's medical expenses are all borne by my sister, and my parents retired until Now, my mother is sick again, and the family's financial situation is not good, have you cared about it all these years?"

"I..." Chen Qianchen was speechless for a while, even though he occasionally asked the elder sister how the family was doing recently on the phone, and the answers he got were all very good, but this is not an excuse to refute the younger brother now, the other party is right , if he wanted to, he could come back and have a look, but he didn't.

In the past, he only wanted to come back to prove to his parents after he succeeded, but now he came back after failing. Even though it was because of this younger brother, he still couldn't help but look down on himself, so at this moment, what else can he say?

"My sister is still not married because if she leaves, there will be no one to take care of her parents at home. You have been living in the entertainment industry all these years, right? You never thought about us..." Chen Luochen looked at his face condescendingly Brother, seeing his brother lowered his head and drooped his eyelashes, he didn't want to say anything more, "It's my fault for fighting, I won't fight in the future, but you don't care about my affairs, anyway, I will be admitted to a good university in the future and earn money." A lot of money back, at least not like you..."

"What are you talking about..." The door of the room was opened, and Chen Mengchen came in with a new quilt, and looked at the two brothers curiously.

Chen Luochen curled his lips, turned over to face the wall and continued to sleep, without answering his sister's question.

Chen Mengchen looked at him strangely, then at Chen Qianchen who lowered his head, "What's wrong?"

"Well...it's nothing." Chen Qianchen raised his head, twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a shallow smile, then pulled Chen Mengchen out of the room, "Sister, come out."

Chen Mengchen followed him outside, Chen Qianchen closed the door and said, "Sister, I transferred 15 to you today."

"Ah?" Chen Mengchen was shocked, "Why are there so many transfers? Eighty thousand is enough..."

"No, sister, I haven't been home much these years. The rest are for my parents. I will transfer some to your account every month from now on." Chen Qianchen said, "I am 24 years old. No matter what, it's up to me to raise them... Is Xiaochen's grades in school okay?"

"Well... His grades are not bad, but his parents are very strict with him."

"Well, when he goes to college, it will cost a lot of money, so I'll pay for it." Chen Qianchen nodded, and said sadly, "I'm sorry for walking so willfully for so many years, and it's up to me next." Come and take on your own responsibilities..."

Chen Mengchen hesitated and said, "Qianchen...how is your work now?"

"It's okay." Chen Qianchen patted her on the shoulder.

Chen Mengchen sighed: "Others say that being a celebrity makes a lot of money, but sister knows that it's not easy for you these years...The family's economy is not very good now, but don't think so much..."

"Okay sister, I didn't earn much before..." Chen Qianchen smiled wryly, but then his eyes showed a little firmness, "But it will get better in the future, trust me, definitely."

Chen Mengchen was about to say something else, but Chen Qianchen took the lead and said, "Okay, let's go to rest early, I'm planning to go back to City A tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?! So urgent? Didn't you say you can stay for two more days?"

"Work waits for no one."

"Oh... well..." Chen Mengchen sighed, and when he was about to leave, he looked back at Chen Qianchen, "You... remember to come back often when you are free..."

"Well, I see." Chen Qianchen smiled softly.

When he was 17 years old, he left here for himself and his ideals.Willful, selfish.

Now at the age of 24, he left here again, and his mood is completely different.

This unfair world has never been controlled by human nature. He thought this time, he had grown up and understood, learned to be obedient and mature.

He dialed Jiang Zihua's phone instead: "Brother Hua, I accept the proposal you mentioned last time."

Chen Qianchen booked a flight back to City A the next morning. It didn't rain in City C, but it was overcast.

17 years old and 24 years old, time seems to overlap, too similar, everything is too similar.

At that time, he also went to City A with a bag on his back. He didn't have much money around him. The future was still so uncertain, but he had tenacity in his bones.

And now, he also has no savings, not much money around him, no one will pick him up after he goes to City A, and he will move out of the apartment soon. He doesn't even know what new place the company will find him. Still full of uncertainty.

But this time, after all, something was different.

The reason why people live in this world is not just for themselves.

Seven years, the seven years that have passed without any purpose, those pasts that are no longer worth mentioning, still taught him a lot.

He suddenly thought of Lu Zhexiao.That child has also grown up quickly, right?

Chen Qianchen took out his mobile phone and sent him a text message: "I also went home once, and I'm going back to City A today, see you then." 』

The reply was received quickly: "Well, I will go back in a few days, see you then, brother Qianchen!" 』

Chen Qianchen smiled, put his phone in his pocket, and looked up at the huge advertising screen in the airport, all the popular artists who endorsed high-end brands came out.Those who can appear here, let alone myself and Lu Zhexiao, Yu Yang and Jiang Gao are not far behind.But Chen Qianchen knew that the two of them would continue to climb up, and this time, he would not be willing to stay where he was.

The boarding reminder for the flight kept ringing, and Chen Qianchen walked towards the boarding gate with his backpack on his back.

>>

When Chen Luochen woke up the next day and heard that his second brother had left, he was taken aback, and then chose to brush his teeth.

After returning to the room, he glanced at the neatly folded quilt, hesitated for a while, and finally tidied up the things stuffed under the desk last night, and put them where they should be.

After finishing all this, he sat on the swivel chair of the computer and looked at his second brother's bed in a trance.

Even the quilt is better than myself.Chen Luochen curled his lips displeased.But I thought, seven years, this long time, maybe that person really didn't waste it.

Chen Luochen thought that he might never tell others the reason for fighting in his sophomore year of high school.

When he was young, his elder brother was the object of his admiration. He was six years older than him, taller, stronger and more knowledgeable than him.Take him to play games, take him to play music, and play to yourself after composing a tune.

When Chen Qianchen left seven years ago, only the young Chen Qianchen really believed that his brother would succeed and come back.

But for seven years, he didn't come back.

Chen Luochen occasionally pays attention to ATCITY's songs, and will buy an album when it comes out.But even though his elder brother is the lead singer, he has never had too many scenes, and he has no songs written by himself, and it is extremely boring to participate in some shows rarely.

Usually at school, when the girls are excitedly chatting about ATCITY, he will pay attention to it. Most of them talk about the names of Yu Yang and Chen Qianchen, and they are almost never mentioned.

And just a few days ago, Chen Qianchen's reputation on the Internet became very bad, even people like Chen Luochen who never paid attention to gossip and entertainment online heard about it.

The girls in the same class chatted excitedly about the new play surnamed Yu, saying how cute and handsome they were and other vulgar compliments.While chatting, they talked about ATCITY, saying that it was great that Yu Yang and Jiang Gao could quit this combination, and then...they talked about Chen Qianchen——

"It's really bad..."

"Yeah, it's shameless to want to hug your thigh even if you don't have the ability."

"If it wasn't for this incident, I wouldn't even know he was in the group."

Then everyone laughed happily.

It was a lunch break at that time, and Chen Luochen, who had been lying on the table for a long time, finally couldn't help raising his head, and coldly said to the chattering girls: "It's so noisy, shut up."

"Fuck, who are you?! Did you talk to my wife like that?" Before the girls could react, a boy who was sitting with them stood up cursing.

The boy was not in their class, he only heard that he was chasing a girl in their class, so he often ran over during lunch breaks and self-study classes, and the teacher didn't even care.

Chen Luochen, who was already irritable, glanced at him impatiently, his eyes were cold and disdainful.

"Damn it, what are you looking at, I want to roll and go to sleep." I don't know if he was irritated by Chen Luochen's eyes, or because he wanted to show his prestige in front of the girl he likes, he stood up provocatively.

"This is not in your class, you are the one who should get out, right?" Chen Luochen sneered, his smile was cold and beautiful.

"His grandma, you don't know who this young master is, do you? I have to teach you a lesson today so that you can learn a lot!"

So that's why they fought.Although he won the battle, Chen Luochen despised himself afterwards.

Simply inexplicable.

And what he didn't expect was that his brother, who hadn't been back for seven years, came back because of his affairs.This made Chen Luochen feel at a loss for a while.

Unclear feeling.

That person let himself down, but...

But deep down in my heart, I still believed in him.
