Zhuo Xuan, who also asked for leave some time ago, was also on duty during the Spring Festival holiday. The two of them braved the cold wind and pasted Spring Festival couplets on all the gates of the community. Although it was already the 29th of the first month, there were almost no people in this community who were about to celebrate the New Year. The atmosphere, many people have already packed up their things to go on a trip, and the whole community has become even more deserted.

On the [-]th day, Liang San went to buy a big bag of things during the shift change, planning to eat at night, when he returned to the duty room, he saw Zhuo Xuan was on the phone, his eyes were red, and he didn't say a word.After Liang San approached, he realized that Zhuo Xuan was not on the phone at all, and the busy tone came from the phone.

Liang San took the phone out of his hand, hung it up, and said to him, "Go and help me chop the onions. Let's make dumplings tonight."

Zhuo Xuan wiped away the tears that fell down with his sleeve while cutting the onion.

Without saying anything, Liang San lowered his head and poured the minced meat into the basin, and sprinkled it with seasonings.

"Don't drop your tears into the onions, or the dumplings will be too salty." Liang San sprinkled a spoonful of salt on the meat filling while speaking.

The voice of the host of the Spring Festival Gala came from the TV, and Liang San's dumplings were all wrapped.There were two knocks on the door, and the doorknob moved slightly. Ren Xi walked in, unexpectedly not dressed as usual, just a black windbreaker, and a dark plaid scarf that made Ren Xi's face even whiter.The hair seems to be cut off too,

"I'm hungry." Ren Xi said suddenly, sniffling.

Liang San stirred the dumplings in the pot and said, "It will be ready soon."

Zhuo Xuan glanced at the unknown visitor several times, but he didn't seem to recognize who it was, so he thought it was Liang San's friend.So he warmly welcomed Ren Xi in, and took out the snacks and candies purchased in the afternoon to entertain the guests.

These behaviors seem normal in the eyes of others, but in Ren Xi's view, Zhuo Xuan's behavior is quite a bit like a hostess.In addition, Zhuo Xuan had just finished crying, and his eyes were slightly red, all these signs made Ren Xi feel uncomfortable, and he ignored Zhuo Xuan with a cold face.

Zhuo Xuan also saw that Ren Xi didn't like him very much, so he smiled awkwardly, and retreated behind Liang San who was cooking dumplings.Liang San straightened up and said to Ren Xi, who had a frosty face, "I'm still wearing so many clothes after entering the house, hang the clothes behind the door, and go to the bathroom to wash my hands."

It was rare for Ren Xi to be obedient. He got up and hung the clothes on the hook. Inside was a gray sweater and a blue and white striped shirt. The whole person looked different from usual.

The three of them sat at the same table to eat, but only the sound from the TV was heard. In the end, Zhuo Xuan couldn't stand the weird atmosphere anymore. After eating some dumplings, he said to Liang San: "Brother Liang, I Go back first, call me when you are on shift in the middle of the night."

Liang San saved some of those dry snacks, and asked Zhuo Xuan to take the rest back to the dormitory.With the sound of closing the door, the atmosphere in the room also eased.

"How do you think of coming here at this time?" Liang San asked.

Ren Xi put down his chopsticks, raised one eyebrow and asked, "Why aren't you welcome?"

Liang San shook his head quickly, picked up a chopstick dish for him, and said, "Welcome, you must welcome."

Ren Xi snorted and planned to continue eating with chopsticks, but her phone rang.Ren Xi took out the phone to look at it, refused to answer, and then simply turned off the phone.

"Oh, that's right." Ren Xi stood up suddenly, took out a piece of paper from the inside pocket of the windbreaker and put it on the table.Then he smiled and said, "This is my New Year's gift."

Liang San dubiously opened the paper. It turned out to be a letter, which probably invited Liang San to play a supporting role in the TV series. He was the heroine's brother, which was somewhat similar to the role Liang San was given in the movie.

Although holding it in his hand, Liang San still felt a little unbelievable, which was different from last time.At that time, although Liang San was in a movie, he was not an important role at all, just an extra with two lines of lines, but this time he was a character in a TV series.

"When will it be filmed, and what about my work?"

"Resign." Ren Xi lowered his head to eat without raising his head.

Liang San bowed his head and ate the food without answering.

"You quit your job, and the company will arrange a dormitory for you after you formally sign the contract with the company." Ren Xi wanted Liang San to sign under Star Map.Although Xingtu is not the best in the entertainment industry, it is a big and influential company after all. Secondly, since I am here, I can take care of anything.

Liang San swayed and put the piece of paper in his arms. Although there was nothing to hesitate about such a good thing, it still took some time to digest being hit by such a big piece of pie all of a sudden.While he was digesting this big pie, Ren Xi ate his meal in a serious and gentle manner.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door in the silence, and Liang San hurriedly got up and opened the door.Standing at the door was a tall man, wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, with a thin layer of snow on his shoulders, it seemed that it was snowing outside, Liang San felt dazzled for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the people at the table. Ren Xi, who chewed slowly, then turned to look at the person in front of him who had an eight-point resemblance to Ren Xi.

"Hi, I'm Ren Chen." Very polite tone, very polite content, even though they have the same appearance, but the feeling is completely different.When Ren Xi spoke, he felt that he looked down on you.When Ren Chen spoke, he felt that you were not in the same class as him at all, and he didn't want to look at you at all.

When meeting someone like Ren Chen, there are usually two feelings, one is unconsciously wanting to bow down to him, and the other is unconsciously wanting to punch him in the face.

"Xiao Xi?" Ren Chen suddenly caught a glimpse of Ren Xi in the room, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and walked straight in.

Ren Xi put down his chopsticks, took another pair and put it beside him and said, "Have you eaten yet, let's sit down and eat something together."

Ren Chen, wrapped in a windbreaker, was not polite, and sat beside him.Liang San closed the door abruptly, sat back in his seat and was no longer in the mood to eat again, and simply looked at the Spring Festival Gala, these two people who are not around the regular meeting, after all, this is his own territory, even if he wants to avoid it, then It should be the two of them too.

Ren Chen also saw that Liang San seemed to have no self-consciousness to avoid, so he could only choose to ignore his existence.

"I'm sorry, it's true that I didn't think about it clearly this time. I didn't expect Dad's temper to be so hot. I was originally..."

Before Ren Chen finished speaking, Ren Xi interrupted him. Ren Xi raised his hand and flicked the snow off his shoulders, and asked, "Have you been looking for it for a long time? On the third floor of Block B, the key is under the doormat."

"..."

The only thing left in the cabin was the crosstalk from the TV and the laughter of the audience.

By the time Ren Xi finished eating and put down his chopsticks, the food on the dining table was almost completely cold.Ren Xi wiped his mouth with a facial tissue, and said to Liang San, "I'll take you to sign the contract when Chuba Company starts work."

Liang San nodded.

"Thank you for the hospitality. The food is very good. I don't like that fish very much. It has too many spines. I will cook it with catfish next time." Ren Xi said with a smile on Liang San's back.Uncertainly, his hands slipped into Liang San's shirt.

"Ren Xi!" Ren Chen couldn't help but yelled.

Ren Xi pursed her lips and took out her hand, straightened Liang San's collar that had been wrinkled by herself, and went to put on her clothes.

"Brother, go and sit with me. My friend gave me a bottle of good stuff. I know you must be interested in trying it."

After the two left, Liang San sat at the table and stared at the TV for a long time. The TV was lively and peaceful, but there was silence in his ears. His mind was full of the faces of Ren Xi and Ren Chen, Ren Chen's superior face , and Ren Xi's ambiguity of being far and near.It wasn't until the countdown to the new year that Liang San stood up slowly, and slowly began to clean up the messy table.

The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and a thick layer has already accumulated on the ground, and the printed sky is all red.Liang San opened the window to let in the cold air from outside, diluting the warm smell of food in the room.But unexpectedly saw two people kissing in the corner.

Liang San was not interested in these things at first, but when the two separated, Liang San stopped closing the window. The man in the windbreaker was Zhou Zhengyang, and the other young man had a handsome appearance. , and the unique vitality of young people nowadays.What's more, the clothes on that young man were personally selected by Zhuo Xuan not long ago, and bought for his younger brother.

Although many people would wear the same clothes, Liang San still felt that the world would not be so coincidental. The clothes Zhuo Xuan bought for his younger brother happened to be the same as the clothes worn by Zhou Zhengyang's new lover.More importantly, Liang San still remembered that Zhuo Xuan said that his younger brother would not go home for the Chinese New Year this year because of his internship.

When Zhou Zhengyang and the young man passed by the window one after the other, Zhou Zhengyang greeted Liang San generously, as if he didn't mind being seen by him kissing the man, but the young man was a little shy, lowered his head and looked at Liang San. He hurried past with his face buried in his collar.

Liang San smiled and nodded and closed the window. He didn't know if he should be thankful that Zhuo Xuan had gone back before. Hearing about this kind of thing is one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes is another. .
