The time-honored mutton shop in Jiahaokou is not too far away. It takes 15 minutes to walk and 5 minutes to ride a bicycle.

Zhang Qing doesn't know how old the time-honored brand is, because since he can remember, this store has been located there and the business is booming.

This store used to be the special store for Zhang Qing and Zhou Nanchen to celebrate their achievements. The celebration days in high school were all related to this mutton store.

……

"It's so dangerous, it's almost lower than the total score last time!" Zhang Qing sighed, and opened the pull ring of a can of Coke with one hand, "Thanks to you helping me with tutoring this time, otherwise I won't be able to do it when I go home." I don't know how to make my ass bloom!"

"It's because of your talent." Zhou Nanchen picked up a piece of meat and put it in Zhang Qing's bowl, "I can do this in a temporary hug. If I had a brain as powerful as yours, I would have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University by now."

"Damn." Zhang Qing smiled, "Is there anyone who praises yourself so much? Shameless."

"No." Zhou Nanchen said without changing his face and heartbeat, "You are enough."

"You——" Zhang Qing blushed, looked around nervously, and found that no one was paying attention to them, so she looked at Zhou Nanchen blushingly, "Crazy, I'm afraid others don't know?"

Zhou Nanchen lowered his head and laughed twice, "I didn't say anything at first, but your expression can be seen at a glance."

"You still dumped the pot on my head?" Zhang Qing stepped on Zhou Nanchen under the table.

Zhou Nanchen smiled and pulled Zhang Qing's feet back, "I don't know who was the one who asked me to hug me in front of so many people when I was drunk last time."

"That's, that's a joke between boys, okay! Who would take that kind of talk seriously." Zhang Qing tried to defend, "Besides, I drank a little too much that day at most, who was drunk!"

Zhou Nanchen nodded seriously, "Yes, yes. After all, if you are really drunk..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Qing's lower body from the corner of his eye, "There will be no reaction either."

Zhang Qing's face suddenly burned like a fire, "Zhou Nanchen! You shameless bastard!"

Zhang Qing stepped on it again, but Zhou Nanchen quickly avoided it.At this moment, Zhou Nanchen's cell phone rang.

In the second year of high school, most of the people in the class have used smartphones, but Zhou Nanchen's mobile phone is still the most simple Nokia black and white phone that has been used for many years.

He just took out his phone and glanced at it, then put it back and let it ring.

"Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while." Zhou Nanchen urged.

"okay."

When the bell rang tirelessly for the third time, Zhang Qing finally couldn't help but asked, "Whose phone is it?"

Zhou Nanchen was silent for a while before speaking, "It's my mother."

"Aren't you going to pick it up?"

"No need." Zhou Nanchen picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, and said indifferently, "Anyway, she just complained that no one would cook for her when she got home."

"Is your mother coming home tonight?" Zhang Qing was a little surprised, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What's there to say."

"Zhou Nanchen." Zhang Qing put down the bowl and put on a serious expression, "I've said it before, I don't want you to delay your own affairs for me, I'm also an independent person, I don't need you to always take care of me... ..."

"I'm not taking care of you." Zhou Nanchen shook his head, "I really want to—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the phone ringing again.Zhou Nanchen stared at his mobile phone for two seconds, and finally picked up the phone.

Zhang Qing couldn't hear what was said on the phone, but Zhou Nanchen never said a word since he picked up the phone, and his dark eyes kept staring at the corner of the table.

About 5 minutes later, Zhou Nanchen opened his mouth, said "I see", and hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qing asked worriedly.

"Sorry, I have to go back first." Zhou Nanchen lowered his eyes and did not look at Zhang Qing.

"It's okay, let's eat together next time!" Zhang Qing worked hard to liven up the atmosphere, "My deskmate told me that she recently discovered a very good milk tea shop, so let's try it together next time?"

But these words didn't seem to make Zhou Nanchen feel better. He stood up and looked out the window, and said a word in a very soft voice.

Zhang Qing was taken aback, "What?"

"It's nothing, next time." Zhou Nanchen smiled at him, "It seems that a new shop has opened in the snack street at the back door of the school."

"okay."

Zhou Nanchen probably thought he didn't hear it, but Zhang Qing heard it very clearly.

Subconsciously asked back just because he was too surprised, because these words were too unlike what Zhou Nanchen would say.

"If only she could disappear from this world."

The soft sentence, like a curse, almost floats in the hot air.

At that moment, Zhou Nanchen's expression made Zhang Qing feel very strange.

The indifference is mixed with complex pain, until now Zhang Qing has not been able to fully understand that look.

"Qingqing. Qingqing?"

It wasn't until Yin Ling called him the third time that Zhang Qing suddenly woke up from the memory and returned to reality.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Did you run away to the Mariana Trench?" Yin Ling worriedly shook Zhang Qing's eyes twice, "Is it all right, could it be the eyes..."

"No! Don't worry about it." Zhang Qing hurriedly took her hand from her eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiahao yelled, "Hey, Dahongren! Hurry up and recommend something to eat!"

"Why are you yelling!" Zhang Qing wanted to rush up and cover Jia Hao's mouth.

There are a lot of paparazzi squatting in front of the time-honored mutton shop, and there is no intention of covering it up at all. There is a shutter facing the inside of the shop.

Of course, the paparazzi were mainly targeting Zhang Qing, and it is not ruled out that some of them were attracted by Jia Hao's loud voice.

Zhang Qing looked out the door helplessly, and a certain paparazzi waved at him, which seemed harmless.

Fortunately, he deliberately separated from Zhou Nanchen on the way, and now these paparazzi can only take pictures of their dinner party.

The mutton shop is not big, and the boss gave them the largest private room on the second floor and added several chairs.

Zhang Qing recommended some dishes to them on the first floor, and when he went upstairs and entered the private room, he realized that Jia Hao was not bragging. The small room was full of people, and Li Fan also came.

Zhou Nanchen had already sat down and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. Zhang Qing sat down on the chair next to him. Before he could say anything, there was a loud noise outside the door. It seemed that someone had come again.

Zhang Qing looked up, and it turned out to be Bai Yidong.

Bai Yidong dyed his hair blue again, dressed in a punk style, and a pair of sunglasses. For those who don't know, he thought he was a band member from a nightclub.

Dressed so eye-catchingly, he naturally attracted all eyes as soon as he entered the door, and the paparazzi squatting outside the store also shot him a shutter.

It's okay for Bai Yidong to be so flamboyant, what's more, he walked all the way with his arms around Chen Lou's shoulders.

Compared with Bai Yidong, Chen Lou only wore an ordinary white dress and kept her head down all the way. No one regarded her as an actor in the same crew as Bai Yidong.

"Brother Dong, you're here!" Jia Hao warmly greeted Bai Yidong when he saw Bai Yidong go upstairs.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I've been too busy with announcements these two days, so I'm sorry for being late." Bai Yidong clasped his hands in Li Fan's direction, with an apologetic expression on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay to be late for a dinner." Li Fan waved his hand, "Sit down, both of you!"

How big of a wrist do you really think of yourself?Zhang Qing cast a cold glance at Bai Yidong.

Obviously it's just a special appearance.

However, Jia Hao was still watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, so he whistled, "Brother Dong, you just kidnapped our group's pure and pure heroine? What kind of tricks did you use, teach us too?"

Several men present laughed.

Chen Lou lowered his head even lower, without saying a word.Bai Yidong smiled and hugged Chen Lou even tighter, "Even if I teach you, you won't be able to learn it. She likes me."

There was a whistling sound all around.

"I said Bai Yidong, aren't you going too far?" Yin Ling finally couldn't bear to watch this scene, and stood up from the chair, everyone around was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yidong raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Ling.

"Didn't you see her unwillingness?" Yin Ling frowned and said.

Bai Yidong shrugged, "Which ear did you hear her say that she didn't want to?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little frozen, and everyone's eyes fell on Chen Lou and Bai Yidong.As the organizer, Jia Hao was a little embarrassed, and jumped out to try to smooth things over.

"Forget it, it's all family affairs..."

"She has kept her head down ever since she entered here. Would a normal person be willing to do this?" Yin Ling did not back down.

Bai Yidong laughed instead, he put his arms around Chen Lou's waist, and the latter staggered, "It's not the first day I've dated her, you guys don't know that, do you?"

dating?

Although everyone present could see that the two of them were not in such a normal relationship as "communication", no one said a word.

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Zhang Qing said, "You all sit down, there are several paparazzi around, no one wants to be photographed, right?"

Zhang Qing's words woke up a few people, and Li Fan quickly opened his mouth to make up the mud, "Okay, okay, what's the fuss about this matter. Bai Yidong, let the girl sit by herself, and Yin Ling, too Don't get too excited, just sit down and sit down."

Bai Yidong let out a "tsk", and then reluctantly let go of Chen Lou.Chen Lou still lowered his head, and subconsciously wanted to sit down next to Bai Yidong, but Zhang Qing stopped her in time.

"Sit next to me. If you are photographed by the paparazzi, there will be no objection to sitting like this."

Bai Yidong glared at Zhang Qing from a position where no one else could see, and the latter returned a smirk.

"Thank you." Chen Lou said in a very low voice after sitting down.

"No need." Zhang Qing comforted, "If you don't want to be with him, you can refuse."

Chen Lou didn't speak, but nodded silently.

After Zhang Qing sat down in Chen Lou, he felt that there was a substantial gaze from the other side of him, but when he turned his head, he found that Zhou Nanchen was just drinking water with his head down and didn't make a sound.

With such an interlude, the meal wasn't too pleasant.In particular, Yin Ling wrote all his attitude on his face again, which made Jia Hao very embarrassed.

"He is just a special actor, why did you invite him?" Yin Ling said angrily.

"I didn't know you two had a bad relationship!" Jia Hao said in a low voice, "He and Chen Lou have a deep affection every day, and I agreed to come when he said he wanted to come."

Only Zhou Nanchen was eating the mutton seriously, and there was a small mountain of bones piled up beside the plate.

"Well, we will start filming the second half of "Slow Half Beat" tomorrow." Li Fan raised his glass, and the others stood up to toast, "Everyone worked very well in Liancheng before, I hope we can make this tacit understanding Keep going, keep going!"

"Sure!" "Good!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Then Jia Hao took the lead and made a few jokes to ease the atmosphere, and everyone discussed tomorrow's shooting plan together. Once the topic changed to work, the atmosphere became less embarrassing.

The meal didn't end until two o'clock in the afternoon. Jia Hao drank a little too much, and kept patting Zhang Qing on the shoulder and praising the delicious mutton in this restaurant.

"Our shop is small, I never thought that one day we would be able to receive big stars like you!" The boss counted the accounts with a smile on his face.

"Hush——" Jia Hao approached the boss and made an exaggerated booing gesture, "Keep quiet, we will be on the show later to promote your shop!"

"Oh, that's great, thank you everyone!" The boss was delighted.

Yin Ling walked behind, still making jokes with the rest of the crew.Zhang Qing greeted a few people and went out. At this moment, Chen Lou suddenly chased him up from behind.

"Brother Qing, where are you going?"

Zhang Qing pointed in a direction, "Maybe two streets to the east, why?"

Chen Lou seemed relieved, and smiled, "I'm going in that direction too, do you want to go together?"

"Yes." Zhang Qing readily agreed, but subconsciously glanced at the crowd, looking for Bai Yidong.

"He was called away just now." Zhou Nanchen's voice cut in suddenly, Zhang Qing was startled, and found that this guy was standing behind him at some point.

"That's it."

Zhou Nanchen glanced at Chen Lou, then at Zhang Qing, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Li Fan stopped him.

"Achen, can you stay for a while?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Nanchen turned around reluctantly.

"Everyone is going to the set to discuss tomorrow's layout, so come over and give some suggestions," Li Fan said.

Zhou Nanchen sighed, and said "Yes", Zhang Qing just wanted to laugh.

"Go." Zhang Qing whispered, "Looking forward to your design."

Zhou Nanchen nodded and moved towards Li Fan.

"Let's go." Zhang Qing smiled at Chen Lou.
