Traitor

Zhou Yuanzhi was a little surprised to see Liu Hengche wearing an apron and working fluently in the small kitchen.

He heated up the oil pan, fried the eggs, took the dried radish and cut it into cubes, and then took out a brown object from the refrigerator.

"By the way, I forgot to thank you." He poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "This is the bacon you brought me last time." He said casually pointing to the sofa, "Sit down."

Zhou Yuanzhi let out a dull "Hey", put down the bag, and carefully sat on the old 80s style sofa.

The house Liu Hengche is currently renting is the vacant house of Xiao Yang's relatives, so he only charged some symbolic rent.The house was a one-bedroom household with its own bathroom and kitchen. The furniture was left by the landlord. Most of it was filled with a strong old atmosphere, but it was kept very clean by Liu Hengche.Although it was clean, the living conditions were still simple, which was completely different from the high-end apartment Liu Hengche lived in before.

When Zhou Yuanzhi thought of Liu Hengche's current situation, he couldn't help frowning.He didn't know the truth behind the incident, he only heard Xiao Yang roughly mentioned that Liu Hengche was framed.In fact, he has heard and seen the dirty part of this circle to some extent, and he didn't think much of it before, but the fact that Liu Hengche was murdered made him violent from his usual good temper, and he only thought that if he had the opportunity, he would When the truth of this matter is found out, an eye for an eye must be an eye for an eye!

There was a "stinging" sound of oiling in the kitchen, and then a thick oily smoke rushed out of the kitchen.Liu Hengche turned on the range hood, but the room was too small, and soon the whole space was covered by the smell of cooking.He shouted in the kitchen: "Old Zhou, go and open the window."

Zhou Yuanzhi quickly stood up and went to open the balcony and windows.The moist night air of autumn rushed in, diluting the fume, but it also made Zhou Yuanzhi feel in a trance for a moment.He and Liu Hengche were originally movie fans and idols. Although they had met each other before, they never imagined that one day they would come to such a close distance.Zhou Yuanzhi looked at the figure who was frying skillfully in the kitchen under the light, and for some reason his face felt slightly hot

The dishes were served quickly. The fried radish and diced bacon in the oil gave off a pleasant aroma. The two bowls of instant noodles were each filled with a golden-fried poached egg.

"Which bowl do you want?"

"what?"

"Would the egg be tender or old?"

"Old...older."

Liu Hengche nodded, and handed the plate to Zhou Yuanzhi: "Go up and eat." While speaking, he opened the door, and did not forget to turn around and order, "Help me bring that box of wine here too."

Zhou Yuanzhi, who was still wondering, understood the meaning of his going upstairs when he saw Liu Hengche moving a bamboo ladder at the door.Because this is an old-fashioned public house, there is an opening leading to the roof in front of the door of the residents on the top floor, which is convenient for people to check the water tank or set up the TV antenna.

Liu Hengche climbed on the ladder and removed the wooden board covering it, then took the dinner plate from Zhou Yuanzhi's hand and put it on it.He climbed up and shouted to the bottom: "Pass me the wine."

Zhou Yuanzhi hesitated for a while, and finally opened the box, took seven or eight cans of beer from it and handed it over.

Liu Hengche was a little amused by his behavior: "Why, I'm afraid I can't drink enough?"

"No, it's just that drinking less is good for your health."

Liu Hengche didn't say much, just smacked at the box of wine: "Bring me two more bottles of liquor." Zhou Yuanzhi thought about it, and finally felt that he should follow him more or less at this time, so he took it. He handed over two bottles of low-alcohol liquor, closed the door, and climbed up.

Speaking of which, stars can still be seen at night in the countryside like the H film and television base, but not in the city. Due to the influence of dirty air, what people see at night is only artificial satellites that maintain a constant luster.But tonight it seems that because it rained and then cleared, the two of them were very lucky to see two or three stars.

Zhou Yuanzhi went up and found that there was a simple shed built on the roof, which was obviously a kind of illegal building, and Liu Hengche was dragging out a table and two chairs from it. Light bulb.

"Come and sit." He took out a bowl of noodles and began to eat, "I've been hungry for a long time, so I won't wait for you."

Only then did Zhou Yuanzhi sit next to him. The steaming instant noodles exuded a tempting aroma, and the golden poached eggs looked particularly oily under the lamp. Stir-fried diced bacon with dried radish.The aroma of the food aroused the empty stomach because of waiting for Liu Hengche for a long time, Zhou Yuanzhi took a bite and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"What?" Liu Hengche raised his head and asked, "It's not to your liking."

"No." Zhou Yuanzhi shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, "I didn't expect it to be so delicious." He is also a chef himself, but he didn't expect Liu Hengche not only to be good at cooking, but also to be very skilled.If you think about it carefully, it depends on how smart he is, but if he is willing to learn, he should generally be able to do well.

But Liu Hengche curled the corners of his lips: "You might as well praise yourself."

"Ok?"

"The noodles are instant noodles from the supermarket, the dried radish is also from the supermarket, and the bacon is made by you. In fact, I can't do anything except poached eggs and boiled instant noodles." Liu Hengche laughed, his handsome features Because of that smile, he stretched out, and his usual noble and elegant attitude was instantly replaced by a big boy's posture, just like a... like a younger brother!

Zhou Yuanzhi scolded himself in his heart, greed really pushes an inch.

"But you also fried dried radish and diced bacon, which you always make yourself." He settled down and said.

"Oh, it's also the first time I did that." Liu Hengche said, "Actually, I don't know how to do it, so I just made it a few times. It's delicious?"

Zhou Yuanzhi answered honestly: "It's better than mine."

"Then why don't you hire me to be a chef in your shop, anyway, I'm also looking for a job now."

This half-truth and half-false joke made Zhou Yuanzhi instantly silent.

Liu Hengche thought he didn't want to talk, so he went down the steps wisely: "I was just joking."

"Mr. Liu."

"Call me A Che." Liu Hengche said apologetically, "I'm very sorry about what happened last time. I found out later that it was Zhang Yan's tricks and it had nothing to do with you."

Zhou Yuanzhi thought that Liu Hengche would not worry about things, but he still remembered. For a moment, he felt an uncontrollable emotion welling up in his heart. The emotion was so strong that he couldn't help but blurted out and asked: "Ah Che, What are your plans for the future?" I felt my abruptness after I asked, but I couldn't take it back.

"What's the plan? Of course I'm looking for a job." Liu Hengche's tone was careless and relaxed, "I owe a whole body of debt now, and I have to find a job to pay back all the money."

"Then... what kind of job do you want to find?"

"What kind?" Liu Hengche finished his noodles, opened a can of beer, and took a big sip. "It's good to make money, and make money quickly." He said, "You know, I owe too much debt. According to the Calculated by the wages of ordinary jobs, it will take at least several decades to pay off, which is obviously not good. If I become an actor, the money will come in faster, but unfortunately no one will use me anymore.”

"Actually, you don't have to worry about my money..."

Liu Hengche waved his hand: "You are not the only creditor. Those children also have strangers who helped me. I hope to pay off what I owe them as soon as possible." As he spoke, he suddenly brought his face closer and showed Zhou Yuanzhi A meaningful smile, "Actually, someone called me a few days ago to invite me to film."

"Really?"

"Of course." He said, with an ambiguous smile, "That's the kind," he made a vague gesture, "You know, you can't watch the following."

Zhou Yuanzhi almost knocked over the bowl in his hand: "You can't go to that kind of company!" He was so anxious that he grabbed Liu Hengche's wrist, "Ah Che, you can't make that kind of film, or you will have to wash it off later. This stain is going to be hard!"

"Stain?" Liu Hengche was still laughing. He was playing with the can in his hand. The aluminum can made a weak moan because of his strength. "Do you think I still need to think about stains now? There are still Is anyone darker than me, Liu Hengche?"

Zhou Yuanzhi stared in surprise at the face that was close at hand, it was a familiar face, but the expression was something he had never seen before.Evil, ruffian, and weird, although he is smiling, his eyes are very cold, as cold as a sharp knife, piercing into people's hearts.

No one can be rational and strong forever, Zhou Yuanzhi knew, but he didn't expect that Liu Hengche was hurt much more deeply than he expected, so much that he himself didn't realize it!

In fact, since the incident, Liu Hengche has always maintained a calm posture. Whether it is an apology or compensation, he has been thoughtful, rational, and efficient. He has never lost his composure in front of others, but this is not because he doesn't care, it is because Because he cares too much!Liu Hengche is a person with too much self-esteem. When such a person encounters a problem, his first reaction is to deal with it accurately and quickly without considering any other factors.He put his emotions to the lowest position and dealt with everything wholeheartedly. He thought he could see clearly and be able to control it, but he was a human being after all.The time that others use to vent their emotions, he uses to deal with things, but the emotions in his heart will not disappear, but piled up layer by layer, and he firmly suppresses them with a rational appearance.He doesn't cry or lose his temper, and his back is straight like a flagpole, but this kind of persistence just makes him easier to be destroyed.

The ancients said earlier: "It is easy to break when it is too rigid."

"What, are you worried about me?" Liu Hengche asked, opening another can of beer with his slender fingers.

"Ah Che, everyone will always encounter some setbacks in their life. There are many people who fall to the bottom and then get back up." Zhou Yuanzhi looked at him drinking heavily, thinking about what to say.

Liu Hengche is too smart. Smart people are good at thinking about other people's thoughts, but they are also easy to be trapped by it. He knows everything you can persuade him, so the effect is greatly reduced.

"I have also acted in inspirational films." Liu Hengche said, "I understand what you mean, the sun always comes after the storm." He stared at the soda can in front of him in ecstasy, and the tab that was not completely removed was flipping with his fingers There was a "popping" sound, a hollow sound.

"But life is not good. You have to admit that there is no road in front of me."

That was indeed the case, Liu Hengche was already on the decline, and he was not too young, but now he was completely dark.He has no background, and it would be difficult to start all over again.

Zhou Yuanzhi was silent, and the fragrant noodles became less delicious in his mouth.

"But you know, life is such a law, once the worst thing happens, good things will follow, otherwise how can there be such a saying?" He tried to persuade.

But Liu Hengche threw the question back lightly: "Then what do you think I should do now?" He asked in a cold tone, "If it were you, what should I do next? What can I do?" It was almost a questioning tone, Zhou Yuanzhi was silenced.

He snorted coldly: "Everyone says that a man stands at 30. A man who is almost [-] years old should be a stage where he can achieve a little bit, but now I have nothing, everything!" Throwing the soda can on the ground, he stretched out his feet and crushed it slowly, "Look, it's like this, it took me six years, and now, I'm crushed." He picked up the piece, "A waste product , what else can I do?"

Zhou Yuanzhi felt uncomfortable, watching Liu Hengche drinking wine glass by glass, an unbearable silence pervaded the two of them.I don't know who came back, and the door that automatically closed at the entrance of the corridor made a loud "嗙", as if the heavy force could be felt on the roof.

"Forget it." Liu Hengche said suddenly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and I shouldn't lose my temper with you, I apologize." He said, looking at the watch on his wrist, "You still have time to go back now Come on, let me call a car for you."

Again!The kind of indifference that pushes itself away.Zhou Yuanzhi knew that Liu Hengche had returned to his normal state in front of people, but he didn't want to see Liu Hengche being so polite!

Why should a person push himself to such a point?

"Why can't you be angry?" Zhou Yuanzhi asked him, "You are also an ordinary person. Of course ordinary people will be unhappy, angry, sad, and decadent. Why do you have to force yourself to always be rational, calm and strong?"

Liu Hengche had already stood up, but at this moment he stopped, and said with a half-smile: "You mean you really want to see me venting insults at you, seeing me dejected?"

"That's not what I meant!" Zhou Yuanzhi was so questioned that he didn't know how to answer, "I...I just want to see you well."

"Speaking of..." Liu Hengche suddenly bent down and reached out to grab Zhou Yuanzhi's shoulder.Although he looked thin, he had been exercising to be physically fit. Zhou Yuanzhi felt a pain in his shoulder when he exerted some strength at this time.His entire face was turned away from the light, so the expression on his face was particularly dark and unclear, only a pair of eyes shone with a cold and sharp light.

"And what are you doing for it?" He asked, "One million is not a small amount, and it was sent to me in person without saying a word. What is your reasoning for?"

for what?Zhou Yuanzhi didn't understand what Liu Hengche meant: "I just want to help you."

"Just to help me? Lao Zhou, you are so generous." Liu Hengche let go of his shoulders, but instead supported Zhou Yuanzhi's neck. The distance between the two of them was so close that the other's breath seemed to go directly into it. In his nasal cavity and mouth, "By the way, you are my fan, do you like me?"

Zhou Yuanzhi frowned, he could feel the strange irony in Liu Hengche's words.Don't say anything else, at least like it, shouldn't be such a word that is spit out with irony.

"Ache, you're drunk." Zhou Yuanzhi stretched out his hand and tried to pull away the uncomfortable hand that was pinching his neck, but Liu Hengche instead clamped both of his hands tightly and pressed them to his knees. .

He moved his face closer, almost touching Zhou Yuanzhi's forehead. Zhou Yuanzhi held his breath and tried to distance the two of them. For what reason, it seemed that even the heart was beating so fast that it was about to fly out of his mouth.

"I never like to owe favors, Lao Zhou," Liu Hengche said contemptuously, "You have done me such a big favor, how do you want me to repay you?"

"Work hard, cheer up, and paying me back is the best reward." Zhou Yuanzhi felt that Liu Hengche's current state was very wrong. He struggled a few times, but Liu Hengche's strength was unexpectedly strong, and he was imprisoned Unable to move, "Ah Che, let go."

"You are a stranger, you have only met me a few times, but you are willing to give 100 million to my rescue." Liu Hengche's eyes were full of inquiry and disbelief, "There is no such good thing in this world." I’ve been in this industry for six years, and I’ve never seen anything but exchange of benefits, paying bills with money, and you can’t even trust your relatives, let alone a stranger?”

Zhou Yuanzhi keenly grasped the meaning in his words, relatives?What's wrong with your loved ones?

"Ache, did something happen to you today?" He asked, "Calm down and listen to me..."

But Liu Hengche suddenly pulled him up forcefully, and pushed him vigorously against the wall of the shed beside him.Zhou Yuanzhi was caught off guard and fell hard, the plywood wall was shaken so much that his head was knocked out.Liu Hengche took a step forward, cut his hands behind his back and pressed them behind his back, and the tall figure firmly covered him.He pinched his jaw: "Boss Zhou, let me ask you, do you want to fuck me or be fucked by me when you pay 100 million?"
