i love you after all

The audition that was agreed that afternoon was suddenly canceled for some reason.When Luo Shen came in a hurry, he only saw a bunch of equipment that hadn't been cleaned up in time and a few field managers who hadn't had time to leave. They only said that Director Li had other things to do.

There was an uproar in the dressing room.Dan Jin didn't say much, and took Jiang Yanran and Chu Qiu back to the hotel to settle down first.It was almost evening when they returned, Jiang Yanran ordered a table meal in her room, and invited Weng Danyang and Luo Shen to have dinner together.

Luo Shen heard what Weng Danyang said about the afternoon, and excitedly patted the table: "Look, look, what did I say before? That's a miracle. It's a miracle that she can still hang out in the circle. If it wasn't for her father's support, I would have found someone to beat her. You don't know that at the beginning... Oh, forget it, it's embarrassing to say it. My old man was bullied like that, it's more than a miserable word. "

Weng Danyang poured him a glass of cold beer to extinguish the fire, "Speaking of which, even though everyone is a star, the background of the family is still a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Just say you, you are a first-line traffic, so where is the father going?" Just put it on, she still dares to show you face."

Dan Jin looked at Jiang Yanran, hesitated to speak.

Jiang Yanran saw her embarrassment, and comforted her, "Don't worry."

"No, I just..." Danjin sighed softly, "I didn't want to drag you in."

"It's not a burden. I can help you solve the problem, it's mine..." Jiang Yanran paused, then changed her words, "It's what I should do as the captain."

Luo Shen said to Dan Jin: "Sister, don't worry, if Han Yuting asks Director Li to resign from you, I will go with you, and none of us will take pictures."

Dan Jin glanced at Chu Qiu and said, "It shouldn't happen."

With that said, Dan Jin helped Chu Qiu open a box of shrimp meatballs, lifted the lid, folded the plastic bag, and placed it neatly in front of Chu Qiu, "Chu Qiu, come and try it, this is his signature dish."

Chu Qiu was originally depressed, but when he saw the delicious food, he became happy again.Seeing that Danjin's expression was the same as usual, and she didn't seem to be affected by what happened in the afternoon, she felt more at ease, and directly picked up a shrimp meatball and stuffed it into her mouth.

Unexpectedly, she chewed it twice and spit it out immediately.

Everyone at the table stopped their chopsticks and looked at her with concern.Dan Jin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Qiu coughed a few times, with a look of embarrassment, he hesitated and said: "The meatballs are sour."

Luo Shen immediately put a shrimp meatball into his mouth, ate it for a long time, and said doubtfully, "It's not sour, it's quite delicious."

Weng Danyang also took one and ate it, and said, "Yes, it's not sour, it's very tender."

Chu Qiu was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained to Dan Jin: "It's really, really sour, I'm not... I didn't lie to you, it's just..."

Seeing Jiang Yanran, she silently picked up a shrimp meatball and put it between her teeth to chew.Dan Jin looked at her expression steadily.After Jiang Yanran swallowed gracefully, she also said, "It's not sour."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Chu Qiu panicked: "I didn't..."

Weng Danyang waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay, children have picky mouths, it's normal. But, we'd better not be picky eaters, look, shrimp is such a good thing. Besides, sister Yanran kindly bought it for us to eat Yes, it's impolite for you to lie and say it's sour just because you don't like it."

Luo Shen pulled Weng Danyang: "Forget it, what is the child asking for so much? If she doesn't like it, then don't like it. Who hasn't told a few lies yet."

Chu Qiu started to have tears in her eyes, it's actually not a big deal, but she wasn't picky eaters, and their words made her breathless for no reason: "I, I didn't..."

Jiang Yanran patted Chu Qiu's head, and comforted: "It's okay, don't eat it if you don't like it, sister Yanran won't be angry. But next time you can't just say it's sour just because you don't like it."

"I didn't, I didn't lie...no..."

Chu Qiu just looked at Dan Jin in a panic, and tightly grasped Dan Jin's forearm.

Dan Jin and her looked at each other for a second.

Then Dan Jin also picked up the chopsticks and stretched them out to the table——

Under the gaze of several people.

But the chopsticks did not touch the plate containing the meatballs.

Instead.

In front of early autumn.

She actually picked up the shrimp meatballs that Chu Qiu had just spit out and had been bitten into a half paste.Without any scruples or hesitation, she calmly put the chopsticks full of saliva into her mouth.

After a while.

"The one in early autumn is indeed sour."

Dan Jin swallowed without changing his expression, and took a sip of a glass of beer.Looking at her actions, Weng Danyang couldn't help swallowing, Luo Shen's mouth was slightly opened, his eyes were full of astonishment.

"Actually, it's normal for a few of these freshly made meatballs to be broken. She said it was sour, so there must be a reason for her. You have to try it yourself to know." Dan Jin looked up at the few people around , continue to drink the beer in the glass.

Jiang Yanran came to her senses and was the first to express her apology: "Chuqiu, Sister Yanran didn't think carefully, I'm sorry."

Weng Danyang sneered: "Oh... that's right, look at us adults. Thanks to Xiaojin, otherwise this child would hate us to death."

Chu Qiu felt that her tears were about to pop out of her eyes, she didn't want them to see her cry, so she jumped off the chair and ran back to her and Danjin's room.

Luo Shen sighed, and said to Dan Jin: "Senior sister, please help me take a look. If she wants to eat or play with something, just tell me, and I will buy it all for her as an apology."

Dan Jin nodded, got up and left her seat, and followed Chu Qiu back to her room.

Back in the room, she closed the door and locked it, saw Chu Qiu covered in the quilt, and vaguely heard her choked up crying.Dan Jin sat down on the bed, sitting next to Chu Qiu, did not lift her quilt, but whispered softly: "They didn't mean to wrong you."

"I, I didn't hate or hate them, I know, I know them... It's normal to misunderstand." Chu Qiu's voice came out through the quilt. She was crying hard, and her whole body twitched when she spoke.

"Then why are you crying?" Dan Jin slightly bent down, lying sideways beside Chu Qiu, putting her chin in the palm of her raised hand.

"me……"

Chu Qiu pushed back a small corner of the quilt, looked at Dan Jin with her tear-stained black eyes, squinted her eyes, and burst into tears again.

"Woooooo...I just, just don't know...You believe me so much, I, I, my parents have never believed me so much..."

Danjin took out a piece of facial tissue, and passed it to Chuqiu through the small slit of the quilt, to wipe her tears.

Chu Qiu snorted and rubbed his nose with a piece of paper, then asked in a low voice with a buzzing nasal voice: "Then, that's what I've eaten, don't you think it's dirty?"

Dan Jin took another piece of paper and handed it to Chu Qiu, casually said: "I have eaten dirtier things."

"What is it?" Chu Qiu's watery eyes widened.

Dan Jin was about to answer, but hesitated for a moment, finally just smiled and said: "You don't want to know. You just need to understand that when people are really hungry, all the things that can be chewed can be put into their mouths." put."

"Like what?" Chu Qiu asked.

"For example, trash, weeds, Guanyin soil, bark," Dan Jin slightly lifted some of the quilt, exposing Chu Qiu's small head, and tapped on the red mole between her eyebrows, "There are also children."

Chu Qiu's eyes widened, and his attention was drawn away: "Eat children?"

"Well. When the weeds are gone and the soil is dug up, when there are only people left in the world, people can only eat people. They call those who are eaten as food 'two-legged sheep'. There are It’s better when a dead person is dead. You can pluck out the flesh from the dead body. If there is no dead person, you have to create a dead person. The children in your own family can’t bear to eat it, so you can exchange it with your neighbors, and barely keep the last bottom line of human relations. This is called’ Yizi and eat'."

Chu Qiu was silent for a while, then asked again: "Are children always eaten?"

"It's not often, but it's definitely not uncommon. Just the three words 'people eat each other' are found in "Former Han Shu", "Three Kingdoms", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Song History", "Ming History", " "Manuscripts of Qing History" and other history books have appeared many times. There are many people who have eaten people, Qi Huangong has eaten babies, Zhang Xun has eaten his own concubines, and Liu Bei has also eaten farmers' wives when he escaped." Dan Jin whispered the names of those historical records and ancient people, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

"Then...you...have you eaten it?" Chu Qiu timidly looked away.

Dan Jin couldn't help smiling: "Chu Qiu, now it's a civilized society, no matter how hungry you are, no one will eat people, do you understand?"

"Actually... if, I said if... if one day, there is no weeds and no soil, you..." Chu Qiu raised his eyes to meet Dan Jin's gaze, and his immature voice revealed an inexplicable determination and firmness , "You can eat me."

you can eat me.

The smile on Dan Jin's lips froze first, then disappeared, and then smiled again.

"What are you thinking? There won't be such a day."

Chu Qiu didn't answer, she just silently thought about the hungry Dan Jin in the diary.

That Danjin who is satisfied because she can eat a steamed bun on her birthday.

Dan Jin stroked Chu Qiu's hair, and asked her softly, "Aren't you going to have something to eat?"

Chu Qiu's nose was sour, and he said stubbornly: "I don't want to eat with them anymore, and every day from now on, I will only eat with you."

"Okay, I'll order a pizza and some dessert, just the two of us."

"Ok!"

Danjin smiled and pinched Chuqiu's earlobe, took out the cherry blossom pink mobile phone to order takeaway.Just after placing the order, someone politely knocked on the door three times, and then Jiang Yanran's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Jin, I have something to ask you."

"I'll be back as soon as I go." Dan Jin got up from the bed, roughly tidied up her clothes and went out.

Chu Qiu reluctantly watched her leave.

Dan Jin locked the door tightly, and asked in a voice that the people inside could not hear: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yanran shook her head, didn't say anything specific, she just said, "You come with me."

The two of them left the hotel together and walked along the main road for about 15 minutes. Jiang Yanran led Dan Jin into a small alley and turned into a secluded cafe inside.There was no one in the cafe, only a teller, a coffee maker, and a sporadic one or two customers.

Jiang Yanran took Dan Jin to the innermost place, and sat down opposite a man.

Dan Jin slightly nodded to him: "Director Li."

"You're welcome," Li Jiaxiao waved his hand with a smile, picked up the menu on the table, and pushed it towards Jiang Yanran, "Miss Jiang, look, what do you want to drink?"

Jiang Yanran just sat casually leaning on the sofa, smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to drink, so you can just talk about your business."

"It's like this, my brother... ah, that is Li Donghai, the housekeeper of the Jiang residence, your name is Uncle Li, he just called me. Oh, it's all my fault that I didn't do my homework well. Look at me... ...I have high eyes and low hands, and I didn't even think about investigating the background of the ANT members. If I had known earlier that you were the daughter of the Irijiang Group, I should have personally picked you up to join the group. How dare you be so negligent." Li Jiaxiao smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Yanran said humbly, "How is this your fault? I didn't want too many people to know about my family's situation."

"Yes, yes, you are really educated, and you are still so low-key, no wonder you are the girl trained by Mr. Jiang." Li Jiaxiao rubbed his hands, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Yanran, "Old Han and I, we used to They are all alumni of Communication University, so he knows a lot of people in the circle, and everyone is a former classmate. Later, Lao Han stopped doing this business and went into business to save some money. He was poor before, so now he acts more high-profile. Han Yuting This child also looks like her father, a nouveau riche, who offends people everywhere by calling me uncle, but I have to help her, and I blame our brothers for being spoiled."

Dan Jin never spoke, just looked at Li Jiaxiao quietly.

Li Jiaxiao sighed for a long time, "Miss Jiang, you don't understand that Yu Ting dropped out of junior high school and didn't want to go to the company, so Lao Han can only stuff her to me to mix in the entertainment industry. She didn't read I have studied for a few years, so I reacted so strongly when I heard Miss Dan’s words. You know, the more you lack something, the more you care about it. An uneducated person is most afraid of being said that she is uneducated. I don’t say this to make you understand her. It's just...she also...well, let's not talk about it."

"I can understand, but I still don't think what she did was right today."

"Yes, I'm not trying to excuse her." Li Jiaxiao rubbed her temples, and Chen Ken said, "Don't worry, Yitian will definitely not let her shoot again, and I will ask her to leave the crew tomorrow. It's just... a bit Worrying, the start of the game is about to start, it will be very troublesome to find a suitable role for Zhao Min, and Lao Han will definitely withdraw all investment, this short-term deficit is really..."

"I'll play Zhao Min, and I'll fill in the gaps in the funds for you. I'll be responsible for the subsequent advertising expenses due to the difference in popularity between me and Han Yuting." Jiang Yanran leaned forward, "The specific amount, I will I will ask Uncle Li to talk to you. You don’t have to embarrass yourself because you are your brother, he holds all my money, so you don’t have to be polite with me on money.”

"Okay, okay," Li Jiaxiao burst out laughing, "I don't know...can we add Irie Group in the credits at the end of the credits?"

Jiang Yanran knew what gold powder he wanted to rub, she smiled, and directly refused, "Don't add it."

"Okay, just listen to Miss Jiang."

Li Jiaxiao said a few more polite words, seeing that Jiang Yanran was showing signs of not wanting to talk anymore, she immediately got up to say goodbye and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Li Jiaxiao was gone, the two of them stayed for a while, then got up and left the cafe.

Walking on the night road, the orange street lamps divide the dark road into small round stages one after another. Dan Jin passes through them quietly, and the halo flows from her forehead to the back of her head regularly, bringing about shadow changes one after another. , making the outline of her profile three-dimensional and deep.

"Are you satisfied with the result of this treatment?" Jiang Yanran put her voice at the most gentle level.

"Actually, there's no need to do this, you're spending too much money." Dan Jin stared at the road under her feet, and didn't look back at Jiang Yanran.

"My father has already given me shares in several branch companies, and I can always get a lot of money into the account. I have been staying in Yunzhou for the past two years. I have nothing to spend money on, but I have saved a lot unconsciously. This It's nothing."

"That should be saved," Dan Jin smiled lightly, "Saving it as a number is better than wasting it on me."

She didn't appreciate it.

Jiang Yanran was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself, and then the smile became bitter again, she didn't know what to answer, and she didn't know what she wanted in her subconscious mind.She never knew how to treat Dan Jin well. People who are sunk in unrequited love are always a little stupid. She is so stupid that she knows that Dan Jin is arrogant, but also vulgar enough to use money to please her.The result is bound to be unpleasing.

Seeing that Jiang Yanran's expression was not quite right, Danjin knew roughly what she was thinking, and said, "Captain Jiang, don't think too much."

Jiang Yanran didn't say a few words like a cover-up, she bowed her head and said nothing.

After a long time, she still seemed a little reconciled, and said bluntly: "Xiao Jin, if you are not with Luo Shen in the future, will you consider others?"

Dan Jin nodded her chin, with a smile on her lips, she answered a joke quite briskly:

"After you're not with Luo Shen, think about Chuqiu. After all, you promised her. When she grows up and can draw me a marriage certificate that is exactly the same as the one issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau, I will marry her."

The author has something to say: the plot of the meatballs on the dinner table comes from a true historical story, Jiang Yanran and Luo Shen correspond to Xu Guangping and Xiao Hong, Dan Jin corresponds to Lu Xun, Chuqiu corresponds to Zhou Haiying.Those who know this stalk must understand what I'm talking about hahhh
