atypical romanticism

As a "semi-nail household" on the hot search, Qi Rui's words and deeds are under the attention of the media. It's nothing to be photographed at a dinner party after work, but celebrities are also human beings.

No one wants to be distracted to give work status during off hours.

So a group of people rushed to the old city.Xiang Sheng looked at the familiar hot pot restaurant, the last time he and Shen Nanfen came to this restaurant was also this one.

For the first time, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness.This time, she tried her best to make up for the regret of the last time, but standing in this store seemed to be a kind of sentence—look, going around and around, the story still had to go back to the beginning and ending.

Same as last time, when everyone was sitting in a row, Zhou Yu and Xiang Sheng once again hid in the back tacitly; different from last time, this time Zhou Yu didn't ask her why she also hid behind, but He quietly took her hand and said in a low voice, "Let's wait for them to have a seat before sitting down."

"In order not to sit in the wrong place and make a joke."

Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "I thought you would wonder why I wasn't the one in charge."

Zhou Yu turned his head to look at her, and said solemnly: "Teacher Xiang, aren't you a restrained person?"

Xiang Sheng was startled, and nodded after recovering: "That's right, I'm a restrained person."

"Don't be introverted," Lu Junhui didn't know when he heard the conversation between the two, and when he heard Xiang Sheng say that he was a introverted person, his eyes rolled out of the sky, he turned around and took the two of them to the seat Come on, say, "If you keep restrained, you two can stand and eat."

It's still the same position, and the two people still have the same "dragon and phoenix presenting prosperity" behind their backs.

Xiang Sheng looked at the embroidery on the back, and Zhou Yu felt that her emotions were not right. Following her gaze, he was startled for a moment, and then smiled, "This embroidery is so good, I remember when I was in primary school When I was a child, my mother also fell in love with embroidery for some reason, and embroidered three or four characters of "Fu" and a scroll of "Rising Sun."

Emily heard the words, and echoed, "My mother was also obsessed with cross-stitch back then. I don't know why, but she didn't embroider 'Rising Sun', she showed 'Flowers Bloom and Wealth'."

Zhou Yu smiled, and then glanced at the "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness" behind her. For some reason, when she saw that pair of dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness, she felt an indescribably depressed and familiar feeling in her heart.

Xiang Sheng poured a cup of tea for her and himself expressionlessly, and drank it in small sips, not intending to blend into the excitement.

Zhou Yu leaned closer to Xiang Sheng, and said softly to her, "Teacher Xiang, do you think this embroidery is really festive?"

Xiang Sheng took a pause to drink tea, but only for a moment, she returned to normal and nodded: "It's very festive, why does Mr. Zhou still have cross-stitch skills?"

"I don't have the craftsmanship of this intangible cultural heritage," Zhou Yu said, "I simply think that if it is embroidered by hand, it will be really amazing."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiang Sheng, who nodded thoughtfully.Zhou Yu lightly "tsk" and said, "Xiang Sheng, what's the matter with you? You've been absent-minded since you entered this store."

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "How about we go home first? Our house is quite close here."

Xiang Sheng's nose was a little sore, she regained her senses and took a deep breath to hold back her tears, then hugged Zhou Yu into her arms, stroked her shoulder with her hand, and said with a smile: "No, I'm just hungry , what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Yu nodded, and started to cook vegetables and meat in the hot pot. After cooking, he put all his brains on Xiang Sheng's plate, and said, "Eat more when you are hungry. I cooked it myself. Don't leave it."

"Okay, I promise to live up to Mr. Zhou's expectations—" Xiang Sheng picked up the chopsticks and said in a long voice.

The people who were fed dog food looked at each other with "aunt smiles" on their faces.Seeing that Zhou Yu was concentrating on picking up vegetables for Xiang Sheng, Qi Rui who was in the group said hurriedly, "Miss Zhou, don't bother picking up vegetables for your lover, eat some for yourself too. "

The word "lover" exploded a cluster of fireworks in Zhou Yu's ears, Xiang Sheng looked at her blushing and stupefied, nodded brightly, took a piece of fat cow from the pot, and fed it to her after passing through the clear water On the edge of his mouth, he echoed, "That's right, don't bother feeding me anymore, let me feed you now."

Everyone teased: "That's enough, do you two have no hands?"

"Show affection, so hurry up!"

Xiang Sheng took another piece of meat for Zhou Yu, and said slowly while crossing the clear water: "If you don't show your affection, it will be meaningless."

"Come on," Xiang Sheng looked at Zhou Yu, "They all live in clean water, eat!"

Zhou Yu's face had already turned red, but the corners of her mouth were raised uncontrollably. She lowered her head and nodded, taking small bites of the meat on the plate.

But the sweetness was hard to match his appetite, so Zhou Yu started eating cucumber sticks again after eating two pieces of meat. In order to prevent others from finding out, he even poured himself a glass of fruit wine to cover himself.

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, the staff who were reserved and cautious with Qi Rui before, also relaxed under the influence of alcohol. I don't know who said: "I'm really... I don't understand why the Internet Some people say that Ms. Qi has a bad temper, she doesn't have a first-line reputation, and she has a first-line problem. After working with Ms. Qi today, Ms. Qi is obviously very good at talking! Teacher Xiang understands what she means!"

These words did not speak to Qi Rui's heart, but they must have touched the heart of her manager, Ai Rui. After hearing the words, Ai Rui said from the bottom of his heart: "That's right! We, Rui Rui, will be able to do it within one year of our debut." The best newcomer of the Academy Awards, although the quality of the dramas we have received over the years has been uneven, but our acting skills have always been online! As for the second female lead in the costume drama that we acted in before, how terrible is that character! Our Rui Rui is just in Before joining the group, I finished the original book and wrote a thousand-word biography. I don’t understand why people nowadays can use a few photos or an edited video and audio to put malicious words on another person they have never met. Great label!"

Emily also got a little drunk, and echoed: "That's right! Some actors, obviously actors, can't do anything with their voices. No matter what the show is, they use dubbing. Those plays turn the screen black. The dubbing teacher and bgm are better than them. mood......"

Xiao Xiao also drank a lot, but still retained a sliver of reason, quickly covered Emily's mouth, and said, "If you drink too much, you can't take what you say seriously!"

One side calmed down, but the "turmoil" broke out again. Jiang Meng, who had been eating well and not talking, suddenly said, "Miss Qi, let me gossip...Zhao Yan, why are you covering my mouth!"

Qi Rui was amused, and waved her hand, saying that it's okay to ask.Jiang Meng, who received the support, proudly "hummed" Zhao Yan, and said, "You won the Golden Statue Award at that time, but because of scolding with black fans, you scolded yourself on the hot search, what's going on? Isn’t it a joy to win an award?”

"I'm really happy," Qi Rui was also a little dazed, she took a sip of water and said, "But I don't know what happened, there were a lot of people who scolded me on the Internet for no reason at that time, I didn't take it seriously at first, After all, those people couldn't even tell the use of 'dedide', but for some reason, they found out my family's information. After the awards ceremony, I saw Ai Rui's face was wrong, and I thought it was something online. Something has happened, turn on the phone and take a look, okay, they actually fleshed out my brother, and even posted photos of his death."

Qi Rui sneered, and said, "Isn't this a rush to scold you?"

Zhou Yu was gnawing on the cucumber sticks intently, and Qi Rui didn't hear the first half of what she said at all, only heard "Hurry up to find scolding", Xiang Sheng silently transferred the fruit wine she didn't make it to Kaifeng to Lu Junhui, As soon as she poured water into her glass, Zhou Yu nodded vigorously, stared at her dimly, and said, "Well, I'm in a hurry to scold you!"

The bustling drinking party was quiet for a second, and after realizing that it was Zhou Yu who was speaking, the room roared with laughter and teased Xiang Sheng: "Little sister Zhou also drank too much, Mr. Xiang is busy with work tonight."

Teacher Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, Zhou Yu was not a troublesome person when he drank too much, he was very good, and even helped count the money when he was kidnapped.

She leaned close to Zhou Yu's ear and said softly, "Mr. Zhou, wake up, let's go home, shall we?"

Zhou Yu was feeling dizzy when his ears were suddenly enveloped by a warm breath, which made it a little itchy, but more of an indescribable sense of comfort.

She subconsciously hugged the source that made her comfortable, Xiang Sheng was not prepared for the sudden embrace, she was dumbfounded, but still hugged Zhou Yu.

Lu Junhui, who had witnessed the whole process, shook his head secretly, and began to dutifully divert everyone's attention, preparing to buy time for Xiang Sheng to retreat, but Xiang Sheng was not prepared to "enter the village quietly" at all.

Looking at Zhou Yu who was soft in his arms, Xiang Sheng said, "Mr. Zhou, put on your coat."

Zhou Yu looked at her dimly, as if she was confirming whether she was someone she knew. After confirming, she nodded, pulled off the coat on the back of the chair and put it on. Shui Qi looked straight at Xiang Sheng, like a child who just learned to put on a coat, waiting for his parents' praise.

Xiang Sheng's heart softened, he rubbed her hair, and said, "That's great, can you stand up?"

Zhou Yu nodded, but said shamelessly: "But I don't want to walk, can you carry me on your back?"

The people who were still angrily denouncing the poor network environment just now also calmed down, looking at the two quietly, as if they were watching the newlyweds at a wedding.

Xiang Sheng looked at her, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and he said, "Why should I carry you on my back?"

"Because I drank too much," Zhou Yu said, "You have to recite me, but others won't."

Suddenly, before Zhou Yu could react, she was picked up by Xiang Sheng and left the private room amidst teasing.

If you drank too much, you drank too much, Zhou Yu was not willing to let Xiang Sheng hold her all the time, and asked Xiang Sheng to put her down after leaving the hot pot restaurant: "You can't hold me all the time, I drank too much, Shen~"

"Not sinking," Xiang Sheng put a bottle of juice in her bag at some point, she unscrewed the cap and handed it to her and said, "Drink some juice to sober up, and I'll make honey water for you at home."

"Ah."

-

Zhou Yu's fingers hooked the belt on the back of Xiang Sheng's coat, and followed her step by step.

The shadows of the two of them on the ground were stretched very long, and the cool wind in late autumn pierced through her bones. Zhou Yu simply hugged her from behind and said vaguely, "It's cold."

Xiang Sheng picked him up, and coaxed him softly: "Hey, don't move around, we'll be home in a while, and we'll be warm when we get home."

"Yeah." Zhou Yu gently put his arms around her and rubbed her neck.

Xiang Sheng sighed softly, afraid that Zhou Yu would really fall asleep on his back, it was too cold outside, and nine out of ten he would have a fever the next day after falling asleep, so he started chatting with her: "Teacher Zhou, why don't you Do you like hot pot and barbecue?"

"It's because I'm not used to eating hot pot," Zhou Yu said, "I won't tell you why I don't like barbecue."

Xiang Sheng laughed: "You really don't want to tell me?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you if you're being coquettish."

"Okay, let me act coquettishly," Xiang Sheng cleared his throat, "Teacher Zhou, why don't you tell me~"

"Huh," Zhou Yu frowned in distaste, but rubbed his face against her neck, "Although it's very nasty, I'm not a dishonest person, let me tell you for now."

"In the first year of high school, there was a sports meeting in the school, and there was no evening self-study at night. We finished school at around six o'clock," Zhou Yu murmured, "There is a barbecue stand at my house, and many students eat barbecue there. I also want to eat, so I thought about buying some to take home, and then met Tang Kexin and the others at the barbecue stall."

"They said that we were all classmates, let's eat together, so they dragged me to them. I said I don't want to eat, I want to go home, and they got angry. Tang Kexin put the meat on the skewer onto the plate, and a One pinned me on the seat, another opened my mouth and she poured the meat from the plate into my mouth."

"A lot of people saw it, but they didn't care, and neither did the boss."

"They are both good and bad, both are good and bad." Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said in a sobbing voice, "They are so bad, why can they still live so well?"

The perpetrators have their own set of behavioral logics, and within that logic their actions are correct and seamless.

Even if someone punctured it, I won because I was young, and I still have the protection of the juvenile scum protection law. After changing my name and surname and transferring to another school, it will be a brand new life.The biggest punishment they received was nothing more than a scolding from their parents, and this "glorious age" was even the capital for them to show off to their children in the future.

It is the victims who are stuck in place and competing with themselves.

Xiang Sheng didn't know how to comfort her, all words seemed powerless at this moment.

Zhou Yu's hands around her tightened suddenly, hot tears fell on Xiang Sheng's neck, before she could ask what's wrong with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu said softly, "Xiang Sheng, can you not die?" ah."

Xiang Sheng paused, looked up and saw the full moon hanging high above the dark blue sky, overlooking the world gently.

If possible, she would like to accompany Zhou Yu until she grows old.

But, only if.

We cannot cross the river called life and death.
