Zero-sum game

"Ten more skewers of palm treasures, and two more skewers of Flammulina velutipes..." Tian Xin looked at the menu and kept ordering, before turning to ask Shen Yan, "What do you want to eat? Hurry up, do you want a dozen grilled oysters?" "

Even if it is eaten by four or five people, it is still too much to eat, let alone just the two of them.

Tian Xin heard that Shen Yan lived alone in the hotel, so she would call him out to have barbecue together if she said anything.

"I was just thinking that no one would have a barbecue with me," said Tian Xin, who was finally satisfied after ordering a lot, "

"I know what you're worried about. It's the ktv thing before, right?" Tian Xin said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't take you there without knowing anything."

She still felt that Shen Yan's saying that he was short of money was an excuse.

Shen Yan shook his head, "It's not your responsibility, Senior Sister, that person came after me."

"So, you did know that person before?"

The open-air stalls in the night market were full of people, and the surroundings were very noisy. A slight breeze blew up the plastic sheet covering the tabletops, and the air mixed with the smell of charcoal fire and the sweat oozing from the neck were a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, although it's not that person, I probably know that it has something to do with my part-time job before." Shen Yan glanced at Tian Xin's expression, and said, "But I really didn't know they would do such a thing. "

"Well," Tian Xin persuaded him, "you have to be careful in the future, if you want to enter the showbiz, you have to be full of eyes, but it really doesn't matter if you don't call the police?"

"...I'm fine," Shen Yan's eyes fell on the table, "Besides, I can't do anything to them."

Tian Xin stopped talking.She has a good network of contacts and knows that many people above are not clean, and it is not the first time she has heard of similar things.

Knowing that Shen Yan was really short of money, Tian Xin borrowed him 2000 yuan out of his own pocket, and vowed to find a place for Shen Yan within two days.

——She really wants her play to go on a theater tour, and she has to solve any problems.

Shen Yan no longer had any excuse to refuse, so on the day of the first rehearsal, he saw Zhou Xingchuan again after more than a month.

The sun was still good in the morning, but after a while, the sky turned gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Because today was the first rehearsal, Shen Yan arrived much earlier than the agreed time.The rehearsal venue is still on campus, but it has been replaced by a borrowed activity classroom on the highest floor of the public building.

School hadn't started yet, so there was no one in the whole building, and there was a layer of dust on the handrails of the stairs. Shen Yan was thinking that he might be the first to arrive, when he saw that the door to the top floor was open.

Shen Yan didn't know why, but walked up there by accident.

There was smoky gray fog floating in the gloomy sky, and even the school buildings in the background were as heavy as the end of the world, making Shen Yan inexplicably sad.

It's just that the rooftop is empty and there is no one there.Even some old tables and chairs that had been piled up here before had been cleared away, leaving only the uneven ground covered with asphalt.

Shen Yan felt that it was funny that he had a little hope in his heart.

This place reminded him of when he first started rehearsing "Daydream", Tian Xin said that he and Zhou Xingchuan were too stiff to play each other, and then he ran into Zhou Xingchuan at the door of the rehearsal room that night.

Zhou Xingchuan bought a bottle of white peach oolong soda for Tian who heard that he wanted to lose weight.

Sitting on the top floor, Zhou Xingchuan asked him some questions while the piano music from the campus radio station floated in the dark sky, but what was the problem?Shen Yan could no longer remember.It has been a long time since he drank white peach oolong soda.

Standing alone for a while, Shen Yan was about to turn around and leave when he saw Zhou Xingchuan standing at the door.

"..."

The two of them were speechless for a while.

In the end, Zhou Xingchuan was the first to speak.

"Have you had breakfast?" Zhou Xingchuan asked, he didn't ask why Shen Yan was here, nor why he was here, but asked a question that was out of reach.

Shen Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he had eaten.

Zhou Xingchuan suddenly felt that Shen Yan seemed to be much thinner than before, and he didn't know what he was doing during the holiday.He was already very thin, and now he didn't even have any flesh on his cheeks. Standing against the background of the gray sky, he couldn't look bright.

At this time, there was a dull thunder in the sky.

"It seems to be raining." Shen Yan looked up.

Because of going on a theater tour, the script has been adjusted again, and the original unimportant roles have been streamlined. In addition, professional actors have been arranged for several important supporting roles other than the protagonist. The contract rehearsal will take a week. After that, not many people came to rehearse.

Before starting the rehearsal, Tian Xin looked at them for a few rounds and asked, "Do you still remember the lines? Let's go through them first to find out how they feel."

I still remember the lines, but it's hard to get back the feeling before the entrance exam, and it's not ideal after two times in a row.

A senior in the director's group pulled Tian Xin aside, and quietly asked: "Is there a conflict between Shen Yan and Zhou Xingchuan? Why don't they both look at each other very much, as if they were acting in a parallel world."

Tian Xin thought to herself that I am not blind, can I not see it.

I just walked around a few more times, but I was still in no condition, so I had to let everyone go back first.

Shen Yan packed his things slowly and walked at the end. When he reached the first floor, he found Zhou Xingchuan was still waiting at the door.

He paused and said, "See you tomorrow." But Zhou Xingchuan stopped him first.

"I heard from Tian Xin that you are living in a hotel alone now," Zhou Xingchuan said, "There is no place to rent around the school now, why don't you come and stay with me for a few days."

Shen Yan tightened his grip on the strap of his backpack, he should have known that Tian Xin could think of other ways——

"Isn't there no spare room for you to live in?" he asked.

"I rented out that suite, and now I've found an apartment to live in, and I have a spare room for you," Zhou Xingchuan said.

Taking advantage of this move, he also cleaned up some things that he was too lazy to throw away before.

The two were talking at the door when a very flamboyant Tesla stopped by the side of the road.

Wu Shuyu got out of the car - he had heard that Zhou Xingchuan was going to rehearse again today, and he was planning to come over to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that when he came over by coincidence, he ran into Zhou Xingchuan talking to someone at the door.

Shen Yan said: "Don't bother, I will find a place myself."

"Don't!" A voice suddenly interjected from the side, and Shen Yan looked back, only to see that this man was wearing a famous brand but a T-shirt and slippers, wearing black lenses and dyed red hair, full of prodigal style.

"Master Zhou is rich! His house can't be kept for nothing." Wu Shuyu said, and saw Shen Yan's face who turned his head.

Immediately took off the sunglasses, "I'll go, this brother looks too good-looking!"
