Riceless cooking

[fool]

There are still a few days left for the Spring Festival holiday, so he bought a plane ticket to X City in the week, and the price is that he will live frugally for the next half month.

Since the death of their parents, he and Zhou Wang have not been living well. The two brothers had tasted a carefree life with plenty of food and clothing, but they suddenly fell into a trough. Overwhelmed, he just never said that when he failed the college entrance examination and did not choose to retake the exam, his younger brother would remember this for a long time. If he told Xiaowang, he would not even pay 1000 yuan after applying for a tuition deferment with the school for the first semester of college. I can't even pay the accommodation fee, and I'm afraid Xiao Wang will drop out of school later.

But the fact is that his younger brother is better than him. When he was a child, he was a fool, and he could be a top student even if he used the school as a decoration. Later, something happened at home, and he didn't say a word. read.He went to other places to study in college, and he spent all his holidays working. He was exhausted, and only in his junior year did he replace the money he owed to the school. At that time, Xiao Wang was already a college entrance examination candidate. He didn't know that his younger brother joined the band. But he hardly participated in practice. The time he caught him in the warehouse was Zhou Wang's birthday present from the band, and that was his first live performance.

After that tough time, these things are brought up in casual conversation.

But does the past not count?He worked so hard, and Xiao Wang worked so hard, but God still threw them a setback that they couldn't cope with. He didn't want his younger brother to be ruined here. He should have been a top student of X University.

Zhou also learned that if they want to go abroad, they need a certificate of no criminal record, and they need to be released by the department that manages probationers. This kind of thing is tantamount to them, but if Bailixuan is willing to help, Zhou Wang will He can really wash away these stains, go to a place that no one knows, and accomplish what he could have done.

His future will not be poor and laborious, nor will he be burdened with rumors or even insults all his life because of incest.

Zhou Yao felt cowardly, if he continued to entangle with Xiao Wang so desperately, he would feel unbearable just thinking about the hardships he would face, because at that time there was still Xiao Wang who was cast aside with him.

He knew it was going to be a long time for both of them, he knew it, but he couldn't think of a better way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to land, please put away the..."

In the end, he was still reluctant, wanting to see Xiao Wang again, and even his heart was slightly shaken, and he had the idea of ​​falling down.

But Zhou Wang didn't give him a chance.He arrived in City X and went to the bar where the band sang. When Ruan Yuan saw him, he beckoned another guitarist to replace him and jumped off the stage.

"Zhou Wang...Zhou Wang, he and Bai Lixuan went to the United States, and school seems to be starting soon there." Ruan Yuan scratched his head and looked at him cautiously.

Zhou Le stood in a noisy tavern, and the band on the stage was singing: Leave me out with the waste, This is not whatido..."

Perhaps a small cluster of struggling flames had once ignited in his heart, which was also extinguished at this time.

Zhou Liao smiled and said to Ruan Yuan, "Then you are busy, so I will leave first."

He carried the light and fluffy handbag, which contained Zhou Wang's scarf, which had been kept in the old house where they lived together for a while. Winter hadn't passed yet, so he thought Zhou Wang would need it.

There is no need to be in a hurry for the return trip. I bought a short-distance train ticket after a week, and the destination is a tourist city.

In the evening, he lay on his back on the roof of the hotel, counting his expenses for this trip, he had exhausted his money, thinking about asking Mo Yi to advance his salary.At this time, there was the sound of children playing downstairs, and a childish voice kept shouting, "Brother, where are you?"

"I can't find it, I don't want to play anymore, you come out soon."

"No, you are cheating, you have to find everyone."

"I won't play anymore, pay my brother to me, woo woo woo..."

"I'm really fed up with you." It was a slightly older voice: "You are the one who wants to play hide-and-seek, and you are the one who plays tricks..."

Zhou was lying on the roof, and the stars in the winter night sky were unclear. He looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't understand whether it was a warning from life, or just a fool.

================================================== ============

Four years later.

This day is the celebration banquet of Lanxess Media. Mo Yi, an upstart, has booked the venue of the top hotel in the city. More than 100 people in the company treat this place as a large box, performing stand-up comedy and comedy on stage without temperament. Punishment game.

Zhou was dizzy from tossing.Although he has the name of a director, it is just a name. The consequence of the average age of the staff is too young. A good-tempered boss like him has no prestige at all.

"Hahahaha Director, you are taking a big risk, go downstairs and ask the front desk lady's WeChat ID hahahahaha."

See, not only does he have no prestige, but if he says he doesn't even have WeChat, he will definitely be tricked even more sinisterly.

Xiao Wen downloaded the software on his mobile phone, and then he was pushed downstairs by a group of people. Just when he was about to go all out and talk to the front desk lady, a huge poster hung down from the second floor of the hotel's atrium.

Zhou Yao glanced at it, then stopped.

At the first glance, I just feel familiar, but at the second glance, I can't move away.

The people who followed him felt it was strange that Zhou Liao, who usually never pays attention to the entertainment circle, looked up at the actress poster in a daze.

"Director, are you a fan of Baili?" Xiao Wen stepped forward to poke him: "I can't see how you like it? It's pretty cool!"

Zhou Le turned around: "You mean Baili?"

"That's right... So this is where she will hold a press conference. I read in a magazine that she returned to China and her agency is in K City..."

"You said her name was Baili? What's her full name?"

"Bailixuan."

In the atrium of the hotel, the light switch was pulled down "bang", and the huge poster of Bai Lixuan was illuminated by brilliant beams from all directions. Bass only.

But what surprised Zhou Liao was not the amazing change of this girl who had only met a few times, but what Bailixuan said when he returned to the country, so Xiaowang also...

His cell phone rang at this moment, and he couldn't believe that the caller ID on the screen turned out to be a name that hadn't been lit up for four years.

He swiped a few times with his suddenly clumsy fingers to get through, and hurriedly raised it to his ear. The other end of the phone was very quiet, and he couldn't even hear the slight sound of breathing.

"Xiao Wang?"

"elder brother?"

They spoke almost simultaneously, and then fell silent again.

Zhou Yao's clenched other hand was hanging stiffly by his leg. He opened his mouth before recovering his voice: "Ah, what, your number hasn't changed yet."

"Ah."

At this time, I really want to ask, why don't you ever call me?

But he couldn't ask, because he was the one who caused the estrangement of the brothers.

"I'm back... Well, I just arrived in K City."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, so I can pick you up at the airport..."

"no need!"

"..."

"I mean, I was very tired when I came back. I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Oh that's fine."

"See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhou turned around and shook the phone in his hand: "My brother also came back from abroad, I have to pick him up now, let me go today, or I will make you work overtime."

All the people behind him were stunned, probably because they were intimidated, and they didn't dare to block his way, they let out the door one after another.

After walking out of the hotel, Xiao Wen turned around and asked in a daze, "Did the director cry just now?"

Zhou opened the door of the house, pulled off his tie and laid himself down on the sofa without taking off his shoes.

He moved out of that old house three years ago, and the newly rented house is a well-decorated bachelor apartment. In the urban area, this is the most deserted house he has ever lived in.

In the past four years, he has been working like a puppet who has been severely wound up. He was sent to the hospital for stomach bleeding when he was working overtime in the middle of the night. In a short period of time, he had almost all the occupational diseases in the industry. Adding to the sudden death of the advertiser.

Later, he was also afraid, so he didn't work so hard, but what followed was a sense of emptiness that could not be filled.Blind people can't see things, deaf-mute can't speak, just like disabled people are deprived of their abilities, his life is completely vacant, and he may be able to get used to it, but it will take too long.

four years?Four years is not enough.

Sometimes he would think that Xiaowang is not actually his younger brother at all, nor is he Xiaowang's elder brother, they are actually one body, born in the same womb, if they were separated, they would be like this, incomplete, and have to bear Long agony.

But today's call made him want to laugh at himself.Zhou Wang's overly flat tone passed through the radio waves, covered with a noise like scratching the skin, which sounded too unfamiliar. He never clearly realized that they were two independent people who would meet and separate .

Of course it will also become strange.

Zhou Liao was lying on his back on the sofa, his body smelled of alcohol from the celebration banquet, tears streamed down his face at some point, he described himself as embarrassed, like a person who had lost his love.

Yes, lovelorn, Xiaowang used to be his lover.

Those two words slipped by his lips, like a scent of belatedness, condensed in the season of withering.

It was the autumn of 201×, Zhou Wang and Bai Lixuan returned to China together.

Bai Lixuan, who participated in a talent show in the United States before and became a smash hit, has become a new star in the pop and rock industry. She has gained a lot of followers before setting foot on the mainland. She once said in a talk show that she is a very important person. The person who helped her find the music that suits her best, and the entertainment news that has been digging deeply has exposed another protagonist in the story.

And the picture accompanying the news was a picture of Wang Wang and Bai Lixuan standing next to the cake at the engagement banquet.
