Riceless cooking

[trap]

"Dinner tonight, director, are you coming?" Xiao Wen held a small notebook in his hand, and didn't know how to knock on the door, as he asked, he wrote Zhou Le's name on it.

It's been a week and I just turned off the computer, with a bad complexion and a bad tone: "I'm not going."

"Don't go again! Director, if you go on like this, be careful not to find a girlfriend. The newcomers in the design department are all juicy girls. If you don't hurry up, you will be wiped out by those scumbags!"

Zhou Li stood up, and when she passed by Xiao Wen, she took a folder in her hand: "You haven't handed in the plan for today's dead line, send me an electronic draft by email tomorrow at the latest, and cross out my name." Well, something can't go."

Xiaowen took the things tremblingly, feeling that he was on fire, so he obediently marked Zhou's name, and turned his head to whisper to his colleagues: "The director must have lost his love somewhere I don't know!"

However, it was indeed a busy week. He booked the ticket in advance, and went to the airport right after work. The flight was delayed, and it was already dark the day after boarding.

The flight at night was very quiet. The passenger next to him turned off the reading light after reading a book for a while.

The lights of City K are already far away, there are only some thick clouds in front of my eyes, and I can't see the outline clearly, Zhou Yao suddenly feels a long and heavy loneliness.

Two mornings ago, the words Zhou Wang said when he left his home made him feel so dazed that he didn't know the meaning of life right now.Although he has always believed that his younger brother is the most important as his only relative, and he is calm to himself in his heart, this is indeed love, but in fact he has never agreed with the uncontrollable emotional development of the two. Only when he has not retreated can he have some contact. Coupled with the gap between the brothers in those four years, he dare not break this passive status quo, nor dare to think about the future.

So much so that when he heard Xiao Wang say he regretted it, he was unprepared, and the other party slammed the door and left, but he still stood there, stretching out his hand in vain, but he had no strength left to grab something.

It was at that time that he realized how much he needed Xiao Wang.

The idea that all the days to come would be as lifeless as the past four chaotic years frightened him after all.

Zhou Yao involuntarily hugged his arms tightly in the quiet cabin with only the snorting of tired passengers one after another.

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

On the other day of the week, I saw the evidence collection materials of the case four years ago in his younger brother's pile of materials, most of which were signed by Wu Jin's name. Hence the idea of ​​visiting City X came up.

At Jiang Mo's wedding, he didn't care what Jiang Mo said to him at first, so he remembered that Wu Jin seemed to know Duan Yiyuan and made bad comments. The lawyer was the most familiar with the case back then. He is also a native of City X, he can't go to Duan Yiyuan, he can only visit this insider, even if he can't learn much information, he has the right to thank him for being late.

After all, if he were to go to Zhou Wang now, it would be difficult for him to face it for the time being.

He got the address of Wu Jin's office from Jiang Mo. He arrived in X city that night and went to the office the next day. He didn't want to go upstairs to delay people's working time, so he told the assistant outside the office area. Suddenly, the assistant said that Wu Jin was relatively free in the afternoon, so he could come back in the afternoon.He didn't have anything to do, so he went to sit in the tea restaurant across the street, thinking that if he saw Wu Jin get off work, he would go up and treat him to lunch, which would save time.

He didn't expect to see him, but just as he hurried out of the store, he saw Wu Jin get into a car that came to pick him up.

Away from the heavy traffic, Zhou couldn't figure out why he could clearly see the person sitting in the cab.

It was Duan Yiyuan.

And Duan Yiyuan didn't drive his usual car.Zhou Liao didn't even think about it, he reached out to stop a taxi and followed.

The two got off the car at a teahouse, Zhou You waited outside for a while before going upstairs, told the waiter who came up to find someone, and after entering, they met Duan Yiyuan and Wu Jin smoothly, and they sat opposite each other at a square table , There are screens between every table here, Zhou You completely forgot that this was peeping, and sat down in a nearby hidden corner. The waiter came over with the menu, and he casually pointed at the pot of scented tea.

However, Zhou Ruo didn't expect that before the tea was served, he had already heard the important point.

"Duan Yiyuan, you can't bully others too much. The things I wiped for you back then are enough for you to stay in prison. The most important thing is that you will be ruined when you come out, and you will be ruined for the rest of your life. Don't even think about staying in the legal profession. "Wu Jin said in a low voice, Zhou Li could see his face with a vicious expression.

"Are you really treating your progress as a favor, Lawyer Wu?"

"No, I can't afford it." Wu Jin turned his face away and took a sip of tea.

Duan Yiyuan turned his back to Zhou, and tapped his fingers on the table.

"How much Zhou Wang gave you, I will double it."

Zhou Li, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help being stunned.

"It's not about money anymore, Duan Dazhuang." Wu Jin sighed: "He now believes that I have solid evidence. If I don't give it, I won't be able to hang around in X City. Zhou Wang is Baili's family. prospective son-in-law."

"Then do you think City X is better, or prison? What's more, you won't be the only one who will be implicated. Those who are in the top positions will be very strong in squeezing the scapegoat to death."

Wu Jin's eyes were about to burst into flames, but Duan Yiyuan's back looked leisurely.

"I can't help it, both sides are dead, you can show me the way." Wu Jin leaned heavily on the back of the chair.

Duan Yiyuan seemed to chuckle a bit, and just when Zhou was concentrating on listening, the waiter came over.

"Sir, your jasmine tea."

He couldn't hear anything.

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

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Wang received a call from Bailixuan's manager.

His fiancée went abroad to shoot the MV for nearly a month, and after returning to China, he stayed in an ancient city in the outskirts of K City to shoot scenes. During this period, the two had no contact. There were rumors that she and her fiancé had a bad relationship, but at this time, a vase singer who participated in Bailixuan's lead singer, wanted to take the opportunity to hype, stuck to Bailixuan like brown sugar, and posted a group photo of the two on Weibo.

Bailixuan didn't move at all, but her manager was in a hurry, so she had to call Zhou Wang and ask him to visit the set.

"This ancient city is right next to City K. There's no reason for you not to come. I don't care what level the two of you are, but the early exposures are all about the love of a concubine. Even if our Baili wants to gossip now, it can't be With that kind of thing, as a fiancé, you should show your face no matter what."

Zhou Wang wanted to say that it was not his volition, not even Bailixuan's volition, to say that those exposures defined him as an image, but now he is using such a domineering tone to ask him to participate in the news operation, is it funny?

But after thinking about it, he agreed. He owed Bailixuan no matter what.

Soon after he arrived in the ancient city, the entertainment newspapers were full of headlines showing affection. He and Bailixuan went in together, but in fact they only lived in the hotel booked by the film crew. next door.

The last MV was finished that night. Everyone had booked a table at the hotel to celebrate, but Bailixuan suddenly felt unwell and rushed to the bathroom to vomit. The manager helped her out of the bathroom. But he put his arms around Zhou Wang's neck and whispered in Zhou Wang's ear, "Take me back."

Zhou Wang had no choice but to help her go.

Bai Lixuan probably had a stomach flu, and he recovered after going back to the hotel to vomit again. Zhou Wang bought medicine and fed it to her before he tucked in the quilt, but he was grabbed by the wrist.

"Can you stay a little longer?" Bai Lixuan said, her eyes were wet for so many days, she didn't know if it was because of illness or something else.

Zhou Wang dragged a chair and sat down beside the bed.

"I'll leave when you fall asleep," he said.

Bailixuan hasn't removed her makeup yet, and when she closes her eyes, she can see eye shadows that aren't too heavy, and skin that hasn't been powdered enough.

Zhou Wang knew that she didn't really like makeup, and she looked good without makeup. Even if she abandoned classical music and entered the rock circle, she didn't smoke or drink, and she could make noise with an acoustic guitar. won't hate her.It is precisely because she is so kind that Zhou Wang has come to this point unconsciously.

When he left four years ago, he was really desperate. Nothing is more unbearable than the loss of what he had. His brother completely abandoned him. Maybe he was angry, or maybe he really wanted to end it, so he agreed. Bai Lixuan's proposal, he understands, is tantamount to agreeing to more things.

In fact, Bai Lixuan had never said that she liked Zhou Wang, maybe the last pride did not allow her to lose her reserve in words, but apart from that, she did try her best.

She worked hard to understand Zhou Wang and find common topics. Surprisingly, she found a new dream in the process.

"They want me to sing love songs. The first album is only allowed to play two rock songs, and the others are all nondescript. They said that the domestic situation is like this. First lay the foundation for the public, and then develop the style." Bai Lixuan turned over on the bed, lazily Talking to Zhou Wang complacently: "If I knew it, I wouldn't sign a big company. I also want to go to the music festival and sing with Ruan Yuantaotao and the others."

"It will be fine in the future, take your time." Zhou Wang comforted.

Bailixuan looked at him under the warm yellow light, and asked aloud, "Zhou Wang, I haven't heard you sing for a long time."

Zhou Wang smiled, not knowing what to say.

"When you were a sophomore in college, you sang the spirit of youth at the school celebration, and I felt...'poof', something stuck to me." She pointed to her chest and smiled: "You sing like a girl Killer."

"But I'm not a girl anymore." She said, and put the hand pointing to her chest between the pillow and her head, and didn't look around, and said to herself: "At the beginning, my mother was critically ill. She wishes to be engaged to you. Although you finally agreed, but I know you are unwilling. I always think that it will be better in the future, take your time, but Zhou Wang, do you know? Not everything goes slowly. It’ll be fine if you come, it’s been four years, I’m not stupid, I know it won’t get better.”

"I'm very happy that you came to visit my class this time, but yesterday I found out that it was Sister Li who called you, and I figured it out. During those days in the United States, but until now, you have never slept in the same bed with me...Damn it, I would never have said such a thing before.” She smiled self-deprecatingly, and then raised her eyes to look around: "My father urged me to stop singing. At this age, I should pack up and get married. He likes you and thinks you are capable. Zhou Wang, will you marry me?"

Zhou Wang looked at her, lowered his eyes slowly, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry..."
