Zero-sum game

Wu Shuyu's house was already very clean, and it had all the furniture and appliances, so Shen Yan almost didn't need to buy anything before moving in.

To be honest, this place is much more comfortable than the small hotel in front of the school. On the first night when Shen Yan lived in it, he took a bath in the bathtub with gratitude, and immediately felt comfortable all over after soaking.He almost felt that this was the only time he felt more relaxed during this period of time.

After taking a shower, Shen Yan stood on the balcony to study the imported washing machine, and suddenly smelled the sweet and fragrant smell from the neighbor's house. Although it was not as sweet and greasy as dessert, it had a natural aroma that whetted the appetite. It made Shen Yan who didn't have dinner feel a little hungry.

As soon as the rehearsal of the play started, Shen Yan began to shape the character again.Shen Yi is a sickly thin beauty, and he wants to be as thin as possible, so he hasn't had dinner for several days in a row. Chronic dieting is very effective for him, but it also makes him a little emotional low.

There was a cool breeze in the evening at the end of summer. Standing on the balcony, you could hear the laughter of the children playing downstairs. The air was filled with a sweet smell, which made Shen Yan feel a little better.

He temporarily gave up competing with that washing machine, and stood there enjoying the night scene for a while.

At this time, the mobile phone vibrated, it was the message forwarded to him by Tian Xin, followed by another sentence:

Shen Yan, hurry up and give me a like on my new Weibo~

Although someone invested in the show, but there is no publicity team, the audience who can watch it are really worried about where to find it, so Tian Xin made a Weibo in the past two days to post some behind-the-scenes photos and the like, which is just expected There are very few likes.

Having said that, Shen Yan's cell phone has been cleaned up a lot these days. It seems that the prankster has gotten tired of playing it. His cell phone no longer always receives some horrible and disgusting pictures, and no one calls to harass him in the middle of the night. up.

At this time, there was a crisp "click" sound from a lighter from a very nearby place, followed by someone coughing lightly and lighting a cigarette. Shen Yan, who was downwind, immediately enjoyed the second-hand smoke.

This made him feel a little irritated, and he was about to turn around and go back to the living room, when he heard the man next door talking again.

"...I know, don't worry about it..."

this voice...

"I don't want to go, Mo Qiang has a party after playing for so many days, isn't she tired?"

——As expected, it was Zhou Xingchuan.

Is Wu Shuyu's house so close to his?It's a neighbor?

And did Zhou Xingchuan know how to smoke?

"...Okay," Zhou Xingchuan seemed to agree to go to the party, "I'll be there later."

Then there was the sound of pulling out a chair. Zhou Xingchuan should have sat down and turned on the speakerphone of his cell phone. He probably didn't expect that someone nearby would be eavesdropping on his call.

Wu Shuyu's voice came clearly from the other end of the phone, "... that blond sister is really cute, she looks like Ishihara Satomi, don't you think so? But she is obviously interested in you, Master Zhou, I'll ask her out again today How about it?"

"Whatever you want." Zhou Xingchuan said.

"Hey, Miss Mo Qiang is going to be jealous again today. She is much more enthusiastic and unrestrained than her. I heard that she is a model. No wonder she has such a good figure..."

"Mo Qiang urged me," Zhou Xingchuan interrupted him, "Let me go pick her up, I'm not on the way, you go pick her up."

"Hey, you agreed to clean up the dust for me, why are you still ordering me?" Wu Shuyu protested.

Zhou Xingchuan stood up and seemed to be walking into the room, "I see that you are quite happy as a driver every time..."

"By the way, do you want to call Shen Yan from the next door..."

Shen Yan, who was standing there, suddenly heard his name, and was a little startled, after all, he was a little guilty of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls.It's just that Zhou Xingchuan walked into the room later, and couldn't hear anything else.

Shen Yan also turned around and walked back to the living room.

He thought that he wouldn't feel much when he heard Zhou Xingchuan and some blonde sister, but when he turned his head and saw his face reflected in the glass decoration cabinet, he looked a little lonely.

He turned on his phone and found the page of conversation with Zhou Xingchuan.

"are you free tonight?"

Most of the previous chat records between the two of them were discussions about rehearsals, and there were very few conversations.The most recent one was Zhou Xingchuan asking him if he wanted to take his car to the rehearsal venue tomorrow, because the rehearsal venue has been changed to a theater in the past two days, and he needed to take a taxi in the past.

Zhou Xingchuan was a little surprised when Shen Yan said this suddenly, after all he knew that Shen Yan lived next to him.

"what happened?"

Shen Yan looked at the punctuation marks added to these three words, and then deleted a few typed words, and said: "It smelled very fragrant just now, I thought it was your cooking."

"It's me, I have a chance to make it for you to try."

Shen Yan stared at the line for two seconds, then quickly walked to the door, wanting to hear if Zhou Xingchuan had gone out.

It's just that Zhou Xingchuan's apartment is farther away than this one, so he didn't hear any sound.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to return to the living room and slowly walked to the balcony.

Remembering that the clothes hadn't been washed yet, I continued to study the imported washing machine on the balcony.

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Open the card slot on the left to see if there is any laundry detergent and softener."

The tone was not high, but Shen Yan was startled by a person talking behind his back suddenly.

He looked back, and it really was Zhou Xingchuan.

He was leaning on the balcony railing and looking at this side, as if he had known for a long time that Shen Yan could be seen here.

The house type over there is different from his side. The balcony facing Shen Yan happens to be the living balcony outside the kitchen, so it's no wonder that the smell of cooking can waft here.

But... cooking?Shen Yan remembered that Zhou Xingchuan almost never cooked by himself before, why did he suddenly start now?And it smells like it tastes good.

"...Standing there is scary." Shen Yan said.

"I just see that you don't seem to be able to use it."

Shen Yan turned around and looked at Zhou Xingchuan, and asked, "Aren't you going out?"

"When did I say I was going out?"

"Obviously you just..." Shen Yan stopped the car quickly after speaking halfway.In the chat record just now, Zhou Xingchuan didn't say that he was going out.

However, Zhou Xingchuan had already burst out laughing, "Are you eavesdropping on my phone call?"

His voice was teasing, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting.

"It's because you speak too loudly, and it's hard for others not to listen." Shen Yan defended himself.

"Since you heard it, why did you send me a message?"

"Are you going to do something shameful, and people are not allowed to ask?"

Shen Yan reproached him with every sentence, Zhou Xingchuan was made to feel like he was wronged by him.

At this time, Shen Yan opened the lid of the washing machine, and found that the softener was gone, and covered it with his backhand, turned to look at Zhou Xingchuan and said, "You should go out, didn't you say someone is waiting for you?"

Zhou Xingchuan knew that he had heard what Wu Shuyu said, and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

Probably because he didn't eat dinner, Shen Yan rubbed his stomach that was faintly uncomfortable again, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to go."

"Wu Shuyu lent you the whole house, why don't you go to the party that welcomes him." Zhou Xingchuan still leaned there looking at him with a little smile on his face.

There was nothing wrong with saying this, Shen Yan stood still for two seconds, staring at the cigarette box in Zhou Xingchuan's hand.

Zhou Xingchuan noticed his gaze, and suddenly said, "Catch it!"

Throwing it towards Shen Yan with cleverness, Shen Yan stretched out his hand subconsciously, who knew that he really caught it all at once.

"I'll wait for you at the door."

Shen Yan held the square box and muttered,

"A fine of two hundred for throwing objects in the sky."
