Early the next morning, Ji Chongzhou, accompanied by Shen Rong, returned to Qincheng to continue filming, while Zhou Jiayao returned to Qingzhou alone.

Today is the day he promised his mother Lin Shuzhen to go home for dinner. There is another reason why he chose this day. Ji Chongzhou will be filming an intimate scene with Ning You today and tomorrow, and Zhou Jiayao wants to control himself not to think about it.

From Shanghai to Qingzhou, the high-speed train takes two hours.

Zhou Jiayao didn't rest, he looked at the passing scenery outside the car window, he was indifferent to his own mood but also had fun.He had thought that he would resist going home, but on the way home, his mood didn't fluctuate much.

The last time I went home was during the Spring Festival two years ago, I had a so-called reunion dinner, and I didn't even stay overnight, so I went back to Ji Chongzhou's house.

Ji Chongzhou has not been in contact with his relatives since his mother died, and the two of them spend every Spring Festival together after meeting Zhou Jiayao.For Zhou Jiayao, the two of them spent the Spring Festival together in the past few years to achieve the most comfortable state for him. It will not be empty and lonely, and there will be no chaos and noise. They usually huddle on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat snacks , Chatting, they are not talkative people, sometimes when they quiet down, Ji Chongzhou will suddenly be amused by cross talk or sketches, and Zhou Jiayao will feel relaxed and happy when his laughter spreads.

Zhou Jiayao's possessiveness towards Ji Chongzhou suddenly erupted when he learned that he had accepted a cameo in Tong Ni's new movie "Guanju". "Guan Ju" is not even the starring role of Tong Ni. Tong Ni and her friends opened a company together, dug some seedlings from various performance schools, and invited well-known screenwriters and directors in the industry to sit in the role. She also participated in "Guan Ju" It is used to hold people up.

She approached Shen Rong and wanted to borrow Ji Chongzhou. Ji Chongzhou became more and more prosperous, and they had a good relationship. The cameo role that could be filmed in less than a month would not be less than a penny of the film, so you should show some face. .

Shen Rong put the proposal in front of Zhou Jiayao, and Zhou Jiayao directly asked Tong Ni for the script of "Guan Ju", but declined after reading it.

Tong Ni asked why, and he said it didn't look good.

Tong Ni said that he didn't know the goods, and Zhou Jiayao didn't want to argue with her, but he didn't expect that she would find Ji Chongzhou in private.

When arriving at the station, Zhou Jiayao recalled the past, only to remember that Ji Chongzhou explained a lot that day, and he was dragged into the memory, but Ji Chongzhou finally did not say why he signed the contract that Tong Ni handed over in spite of his wishes.

He walked out of the Qingzhou high-speed railway station and hailed a car. The air in Qingzhou was soft and humid, sultry as a steamer. Zhou Jiayao could bear it, and his expression remained unchanged, but he was unconsciously relieved when he got into the car and was wrapped in enough air-conditioning.

He adjusted into a comfortable posture, took out his mobile phone, and wanted to send a message to Ji Chongzhou, paused, and slid open the photo album with his fingertips.

"Guanju" is an ancient costume movie. The background of the story refers to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the costumes and makeup are mixed and empty. How beautiful it is-"Praise people," Tong Ni said with a smile at the time, "textual research is not important , the most important thing is to look good."

So in this movie, Ji Chongzhou is quite good-looking.

Ji Chongzhou also looked very happy during those days, circling around him and Tong Ni.

He thought it was because of Tong Ni before, but now it seems... Maybe there are other reasons, such as... Seducing him?

In the photo, Ji Chongzhou is dressed in white clothes with elegant texture, his feet are covered with hair, his face seems to be looking at the light source outside the camera, and his hair is shining brightly from the shed lamp.

Zhou Jiayao remembered this picture. Ji Chongzhou was not looking at the lamp at that time, but was looking at him.

"Hello, we have arrived at our destination."

Zhou Jiayao turned off his phone and raised his face. He got out of the car and inadvertently glanced at the car's rearview mirror. He was surprised to find that there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Zhou's family is in a well-known wealthy area in Qingzhou. The villa is hidden among the lush greenery, with fences separating their respective gardens and even miniature bridges and flowing water.

Zhou Jiayao stepped on the cobblestone path, he walked very slowly, the last time he saw such greenery was many years ago, he couldn't help recalling the several summers he had spent here, when not only the seasons and weather People are suffocated, and so is what happened to him.

He twitched the end of his eyebrows, suppressing his bad feelings.

When we got to the door, the phone rang.

Zhou Jiayao opened it and saw that it was a message from Ji Chongzhou:

"Brother, I'm in Qincheng~"

He replied with a smile.

At this time the door opened, and Lin Shuzhen smiled with tears in her eyes: "I just saw you coming from the balcony, and told your dad that he still didn't believe it, why didn't you send a message to tell us, your dad still wants to send someone to Picking you up at the airport."

The smile on Zhou Jiayao's face did not fade away, he called "Mom", and the two hugged each other happily.

Lin Shuzhen welcomed Zhou Jiayao into the door, and shouted: "Old Zhou, come quickly, Yaoyao is back! Is Xiaosun's meal ready? Yaoyao came back early, we have to eat in advance, so hurry up and make it."

Father Zhou entered the living room through the balcony from the small garden at the back. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt and slacks.

"Oh, you stomped around in the garden and didn't know how to roll up your trousers, which splashed mud on your legs. Where's Ziyan? Hurry up and call in to have dinner together." Lin Shuzhen was very eager and emotional.

Zhou Jiayao changed his slippers, and raised his head upon hearing the words: "Who is Ziyan?"

Lin Shuzhen looked at him sideways, and her tone suddenly became weaker: "A friend of your father's name is Tang Shaochen, who is in the home appliance business. You met him when you were young. His daughter, Tang Ziyan, is a little younger than you. She is 27 years old and is studying at Qingzhou University. She stayed in school to teach after skipping a grade. She is a very gentle and beautiful girl with a good temper. She usually likes flowers and plants. She is quite professional. Your father asked her to come and see what he raised a few days ago... What is it called Su Guan He Ding, Let's see if he's been raised properly, okay, just so you come back, let's have a meal together."

Zhou Jiayao gave an "um" inexplicably.

Seeing that he was not angry, Lin Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ziyan was wearing a Dior spring and summer dress, very gentle, she was very thin and white, her long hair was curled and dyed maroon.However, that face was not really beautiful in Zhou Jiayao's critical eyes, at most it was clean and delicate.

Tang Ziyan's personality was generous, and she greeted Zhou Jiayao: "Brother Jiayao, I finally see you."

She stretched out her hand, Zhou Jiayao nodded, touched it lightly, and then separated.

Neither of them talked much, Zhou Jiayao went upstairs and went back to his room to take a look, nothing changed, time seemed to freeze in this small space.

He left the room, went into the bathroom on the second floor, and washed his face.

There was not even a trace of a smile on that face.

The phone in the trouser pocket rang again.

It was Ji Chongzhou's message: "Brother, I'm on the set~"

Zhou Jiayao replied to him: "Shoot well, don't be NG."

Ji Chongzhou was probably waiting for him with his mobile phone, and replied in seconds: "Yeah, when are you coming back?"

Zhou Jiayao said, "Tomorrow, I'll tell you when I bought the plane ticket."

Ji Chongzhou said: "Okay! Lily called me, I'm going to make up."

Zhou Jiayao didn't return, he put away his phone and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.

There is a mouthwash cup on the sink, and there is an obviously used toothpaste and toothbrush in it.

A possibility flashed through his mind, and he broke out in sweat almost instantly.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Zhou Jiayao restrained his trembling, and washed his face twice with cold water. After about ten minutes, Lin Shuzhen from downstairs came to him, and he straightened his clothes and went out.

"Why did you come upstairs to wash your face?" Lin Shuzhen babbled, "The washroom on the first floor is bigger than this, and the lights are on. How long did it take to wash your face after arriving home? I don't even chat with Ziyan. Ziyan usually likes to watch movies. We should have something in common."

Zhou Jiayao sneered and said, "Really."

Lin Shuzhen paused when she went down the stairs, then turned around and said, "Yaoyao, it's rare to come back, can't you talk to mom well?"

She seemed to be heartbroken.

Zhou Jiayao was silent, brushed shoulders past her, walked straight down, entered the restaurant, and sat down where he used to sit.

The dining table was already full of big dishes, and it seemed that grand preparations had been made for his return.

Zhou's father wanted to pour wine for him, Zhou Jiayao said: "If you don't drink, I will leave in a while."

Lin Shuzhen heard this sentence as soon as she came in, and she almost wanted to say, "Zhou Jiayao! What do you mean!"

"Mom," Zhou Jiayao looked up at her with no emotion in his eyes, "Calm down. It's nothing interesting, I'm very busy, I'll leave after dinner, that's all."

"What are you up to? You're not filming now," Lin Shuzhen sat down opposite him and stared at him, "It's been a while since you came back, and you'll leave as soon as you come back. What are you up to?"

Zhou Jiayao said: "I teach others how to shoot."

Lin Shuzhen lost her temper and spoke more steadily: "Teaching people? Are you a teacher now? Then Ziyan and Ziyan can be regarded as half colleagues, chat about each other's experience, and have afternoon tea in the small garden together after dinner. Your dad recently I got a new batch of Dahongpao, and it tastes good."

Zhou Jiayao showed boredom between his eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't answer.

Father Zhou said at this time: "Jia Yao, you are not young anymore. You are thirty, and it is time to consider starting a family. But Mom and Dad didn't mean to force you, so you don't have to bother or hide. Busy, go away, if it is for this, there is no need to do this, since your mother said that she will come back today, she is looking forward to it every day, so you should be with your mother, okay?"

Zhou Jiayao said silently, "Let's eat first."

Tang Ziyan laughed and started another topic: "Brother Jiayao can go to the small garden after dinner. Uncle Zhou's Suguanhe Ding is very beautiful. Speaking of this, there is a professor in our school who also likes to collect these A precious variety of orchids..."

From flowers to school, from school to students, and then to the relationship between colleagues, it went around in a circle, talked about chasing stars, and finally mentioned movies.

Tang Ziyan said: "I've seen Brother Jia Yao's previous movies, they were really good, but it's just a pity, why didn't I act in them later?"

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were silent at the same time. As soon as the atmosphere became cold, Tang Ziyan knew that she had said something wrong, and immediately made up for it: "However, a few classic works are enough. When it comes to domestic film history, Brother Jia Yao's name cannot be avoided, and , although no one seems to know the name 'Zhou Jiayao' now, but when I mentioned the movie in the office, everyone said that they had seen it. Sometimes it is normal not to know the name of the actor, that is the very popular "Wen Yike" that was released two years ago "The Rose", I can't remember the name of Peng Yu's actor..."

"It's called Ji Chongzhou."

Tang Ziyan glanced at Zhou Jiayao in surprise, then smiled and said, "Yes, it seems to be this."

The topic changed, and the conversation continued.

In the end, the meal was a joy for both the host and the guest.

The guest is Tang Ziyan, the host is Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, Zhou Jiayao has always been outside, and he does not destroy the atmosphere, which is the greatest fulfillment for both parties.

After eating, Xiao Sun cleaned up the dishes, Lin Shuzhen smiled and asked Zhou's father to take out his big red robe, Zhou Jiayao glanced at the phone and said, "You guys have afternoon tea, I'm leaving first."

"Jia Yao," Father Zhou couldn't hold back the gentleness on his face, "I thought you understood me."

Zhou Jiayao simply said: "I understand, but I really have something to do."

"what's up?"

Zhou Jiayao said without hesitation, "The actor I teach has an important scene tonight, and I want to take him to practice in advance."

"Who?" Father Zhou asked in a deep voice, "Who is the actor you mentioned, your student?"

Zhou Jiayao was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it important who is it?"

"I said, some things are unnecessary..."

"Then why is it necessary?" Zhou Jiayao interrupted him, since he stepped into the house, anger flashed in his dark pupils for the first time.

Father Zhou pinched his brows as if tired, "It is necessary for family members to be honest. If you want to leave in your heart, just say you want to leave. You can leave, there is no need...don't lie."

Lin Shuzhen: "Yaoyao!"

Looking at the two of them, Zhou Jiayao felt disappointed.

He said, "You talk to me about being honest?"

The irony in that tone was too strong, Tang Ziyan was startled listening to it, and regretted going to the banquet today.The current situation is too embarrassing for her, she will not leave or stay.

Fortunately, Zhou Jiayao said suddenly: "Miss Tang, go back first, we have to talk about some family matters next. I'm very sorry for being negligent today."

Tang Ziyan was secretly relieved, kept a smile on her face, said a few polite words, and left politely.

"Yaoyao, what do you mean?" Lin Shuzhen's voice was trembling.

Zhou Jiayao let out a breath, and said slowly: "You guys brought Xiaohui back, are you interested in keeping it from me?"

"That's your brother! Your dear brother! What's wrong with picking him up? You don't stay at home all year round, and your mother is getting old, and she also wants the child to be with you. You don't want to go home, so pick Xiaohui back to accompany me, what's the matter? "Lin Shuzhen's eyes were red, "Besides, Yaoyao, the family is enough to take care of your emotions. You came back to eat and didn't let you see him. I know you are uncomfortable. Our family eats downstairs, and Xiaohui is upstairs alone. Will he feel better if he stays in the room?"

Zhou Jiayao's eyes were also red: "Did you forget what he did to me?"

Lin Shuzhen almost screamed: "Xiaohui did something wrong, but he was sick, he couldn't control himself, he also apologized to you, cried like that, wished to die several times to pay for his sins, mother did not forget, It’s just that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh! Mom’s heart hurts too!”

There was the sound of the door opening on the second floor, and the footsteps were soft and slow.

Then there was the sound of going down the stairs. Zhou Jiayao turned his face away and didn't look at it, but he couldn't block his ears.

"Brother," said a weak voice, "Long time no see."

"Jiahui," Zhou's father frowned and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you won't get better?"

Zhou Jiahui smiled slightly: "I haven't seen my brother for ten years. I miss him very much. I want to see him again. And my brother knows I'm here, so it's no fun to hide."

"Yaoyao, take a look at Xiaohui, look at his current appearance," Lin Shuzhen came over and shook Zhou Jiayao's shoulder, "Look at what Xiaohui has become, if you don't take him back, I'm really afraid of him What's wrong, you should know, that's not a place for people to stay, it's full of lunatics..."

"Isn't Zhou Jiahui crazy?"

As soon as the words finished, Lin Shuzhen slapped Zhou Jiayao on the face, she was trembling with anger: "Don't say that about your brother."

"Okay," Zhou Jiayao said, "I've seen it, and I'm leaving."

"Brother, are you really not going to look at me?"

Zhou Jiayao raised his eyes suddenly, and the appearance of Zhou Jiahui on the stairs met his eyes.He had grown taller and thinner, with sunken cheeks and pale lips. He looked like a grown man, not a boy ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Zhou Jiahui was 17 years old, with baby fat on his cheeks, and a sweet smile.

The current Zhou Jiahui looks like a ghost.

"I've seen it, are you satisfied?"

He turned and left, and the moment he walked out of this villa, his whole body seemed to be in pain as if returning to the past.He was sweating profusely, shaking, and breathing hard.

He missed Ji Chongzhou very much.

As long as he is by Ji Chongzhou's side, he can calm down quickly, and he can quickly realize that the past is in the past.

However, he is [-] hours away from Chongzhou by high-speed rail, and two and a half hours by plane, which is a very, very, very long time.
